PWC89: Prettie Sketchy Wednesday
Happy Wednesday everyone! I'm back with my promised Prettie Wednesday Challenge card for you. This week Frances has given us another of her amazing sketches, and I really loved it!! If you didn't arrive from Julie's blog, head on back to Prettie Mama Christie's so you don't miss any sketchy goodness. If you'd like to play along we'd love to see your creations, please upload them to the Paper Pretties Challenge Gallery and use keyword PWC89.This week I'm using our S.W.A.K. stamp set. I've loved this set from the first time I saw it because I love all the extra little elements. I chose not to use the main image of Luke and Lexi for this card, but instead included the balloons and Valentine images for my main image. I also used the heart background stamp to stamp on one of the layers of designer paper - cool, huh?I used my new back of Be Loved paper from My Mind's Eye (thanks Joanne for all that enabling!!) which was layered with some Riding Hood Red cardstock, and Kraft for my card base and for the main image panel. Copics worked pretty good on it, don't you think? I used some chamomille distress ink from PTI to darken all the layers. I also did lots of paper piercing (which is why I didn't get the photo taken before the sun went down!) and added this fabulous riding hood red taffeta ribbon. LOVE it!I finished off the inside with another layered piece of dp, and the sentiment. Don't forget, SWAK and Time for Cake are both on sale this week for 20% off as this week's featured challenge sets. Now hop along to Jackie's blog to see what loveliness she has for us today. Catchya later!

Recognizes VFA’s Game-Changing, Proven Mobile Technologies and Intelligent Processes that Simplify Creation and Maintenance of Facilities Capital Plans
BOSTON—July 10, 2013—VFA, Inc., the leading provider of end-to-end solutions for facilities capital planning and asset management, today announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted the issuance of U.S. Patents 8,428,994 and 8,433,600 for the company’s system and method for collecting facility condition data. These patents recognize VFA’s intelligent, mobile-enabled facility condition data collection process and software for the purpose of creating and maintaining a facilities capital plan.
Collecting and maintaining facility condition data poses a cost and manpower challenge for many organizations. VFA’s patented solution, VFA.auditor®, combines the power of mobile technologies, including the iPad® and Android™ tablet, with the company’s extensive facilities assessment experience, enabling VFA customers and partners to utilize their own resources to quickly and cost-effectively assess their buildings and systems. VFA.auditor users have quadrupled their assessment productivity and reduced office time from two weeks to two days.
VFA.auditor provides users with an extensive collection of intelligent surveys to rapidly and consistently collect data about the condition of facilities and major building systems using standard tablets and other mobile devices. With more than 600 systems included in the professionally engineered and designed survey library, VFA.auditor guides and standardizes the process of collecting and updating facility data. VFA.auditor is in use at dozens of public and private organizations in the US and Canada.
Beneficial features of the VFA.auditor patents include:
• A model-driven approach: the power of cumulative years of VFA assessor experience is built into VFA.auditor, which enables users to leverage that facility expertise to produce high quality results.
• VFA.auditor surveys walk users through the steps, creating a process for effective self-assessment and/or re-assessment.
• VFA.auditor populates facility condition assessment data from the surveys to a centralized repository, the VFA.facility® capital planning database, for analysis and decision-making.
• Mobility streamlines the facility assessment process by eliminating redundant data entry and offline data access.
“VFA was first-to-market with a new system to help our customers and partners quickly and cost-effectively gather and maintain accurate building condition data,” said Jerry Kokos, president and CEO, VFA, Inc. “These patents are an independent validation of our innovation and leadership in enabling organizations to better manage their facilities. We’re proud of the process and technology we developed and the adoption it has achieved in the marketplace.”
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the world’s busiest airport serving more than 95 million passengers a year, has deployed VFA.auditor as part of a self-assessment program. “Our staff’s use of VFA.auditor results in a frequent, consistent data flow, and keeps the data more accurate and up to date,” said William Pharris, senior facility assets manager, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. “In addition, by using a standard process and data format, the data is consistent throughout no matter who captures the information, a benefit given staff turnover and the constantly changing airport environment.”
At Black Hills Corporation, a diversified energy company based in South Dakota, facilities managers use VFA.auditor to collect facility condition data for long-term budget forecasts. “Assessing a few buildings a week, using the guided process within VFA.auditor, and building the database over time has helped our team to strategically manage the company’s second largest investment – our facilities – more quickly and cost-effectively than ever before,” said Chris Anderson, senior manager, Black Hills Corporation.

With Netflix, you get what you pay for. With YouTube, you get what you’re willing to sit through a pre-roll ad for. That’s a fundamental reason the two are the alpha and omega of online streaming: neatly organized television-length (and TV-quality) programs versus an endless babel of mostly short bursts of video.
That changed — slightly — with the arrival in 2015 of the subscription service YouTube Red, soon to be rebranded YouTube Premium. For $12 a month, Premium will offer some things Netflix doesn’t: YouTube’s vast regular video inventory commercial-free and its revamped music service, YouTube Music. (Red is currently $10; a standard Netflix plan is $10.99.)
On the head-to-head battlefield of TV-scale original programming, YouTube is starting from very far behind, as anyone would against Netflix and its estimated 700 exclusive series and movies this year. Red’s active roster of original series, hard to pin down, is in the low double digits.
It’s a scrappy, entertaining little bunch of shows, though, with an underdog’s energy and signs of an appealingly high-low, genre-smart curatorial sensibility. (It’s way too soon to tell.) “Step Up: High Water” is a surprisingly mature and textured extension of the dance-movie franchise, “Foursome” an amusing iteration of the standard AwesomenessTV teenage sex comedy. Scheduled for this summer is a superpowered-teenager action show, “Impulse,” with Doug Liman (“Suits,” the “Bourne” films), as executive producer.
If you want to take advantage of the 30-day free trial and see where YouTube Red-Premium might be headed, there are two shows to start with: “Cobra Kai,” the “Karate Kid” sequel whose 10-episode first season has been Red’s top attention getter; and “Dallas & Robo,” an animated science-fiction comedy (from one of the studios behind Netflix’s “Bojack Horseman”), which debuts on Wednesday.
The idea of coming back to “The Karate Kid” after 34 years — with the original combatants, Ralph Macchio and William Zabka, reprising their roles in their 50s — sounded like just another ripple in the flood of reboots. (Netflix has been a prime contributor, with “One Day at a Time,” “Fuller House” and “Lost in Space.”)
But “Cobra Kai,” a clever blend of 1980s nostalgia and contemporary family drama, more than holds its own. Spearheaded by Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg (writers and directors of the “Harold & Kumar” movies) and Josh Heald (a writer of “Hot Tub Time Machine” movies), it finds inventive ways to incorporate the look, sound (Foreigner!) and spirit of the original without descending into kitsch or brainless hommage.
Sadly, it has to make do without Mr. Miyagi — Pat Morita, nominated for an Oscar for his portrayal of the wise Okinawan karate master, died in 2005. There’s a new sensei, but it’s not Daniel, the former karate kid played by Mr. Macchio. In the show’s smartest move, the roles have been semi-reversed, and it’s the bad boy, Johnny (Mr. Zabka), who puts on the gi and headband to teach a bullied teenager how to defend himself.
The show’s other idea, which works better than you’d expect, is to make the story a variation on and critique of the MAGA narrative, with Johnny having aged into a Clint Eastwood character — disgruntled, underemployed, reflexively racist, quietly seething in the face of change. Daniel, meanwhile, has become a glib huckster who yells “Banzai!” in commercials for his chain of auto dealerships.
The show knows better than to push that idea too hard — it’s a framework for a familiar light drama, or serious comedy, about outsiders and cool kids that finds more room than usual for its adult characters. Mr. Zabka, who carries most of the dramatic weight, and Mr. Macchio are capable and comforting to watch. “Cobra Kai” is about as guilt-free as nostalgia wallows get.
“Dallas & Robo” is more blandly contemporary and, through two episodes available for review, less well defined. But it’s amusing enough to make you curious. Kat Dennings of “2 Broke Girls” and the wrestling star John Cena provide the voices of the title characters, a former stock-car driver and her robot sidekick who drive an interstellar freighter that’s a cross between a tractor-trailer and a tugboat. The show’s creator, Mike Roberts, was the supervising director of another recent animated sci-fi comedy, TBS’s unexpectedly sweet “Final Space.”
The long-haul-in-space genre includes “Alien,” “Firefly” and “Cowboy Bebop,” but the closest comparison here is “Futurama,” another breakneck animated comedy. “Dallas & Robo” moves just as fast but is fractionally less joke oriented and a little more story oriented, focusing on the friendship between the narcissistic, motor-mouthed Dallas (saved from being unbearable by Ms. Dennings’s unstoppable charm) and the heroically patient Robo. Their adventures tie together a hip voice cast that includes Nat Faxon, Giancarlo Esposito and, most rewardingly, Jane Lynch as Dallas’s former mechanic, now the leader of a cannibal biker gang.
Netflix has its own reboots and animated comedies, of course. A lot of them. If you’re already paying for those, “Cobra Kai,” “Dallas & Robo” and the handful of other YouTube originals may not, at this point, merit a second subscription. On the other hand, how bad is your fear of missing out? Or what’s it worth to you not to have to wait for that cat video?

Johann Sebastian Bach included a timpani solo in his Cantata No. Die Felle werden straff aufgespannt mittels meistens gezogenen, bei teureren Modellen auch gegossenen Metall- oder selten auch Holzspannreifen und 8 bis 12 Stimmschrauben, bei sehr alten Modellen mit Spannriemen. Several of these little instruments combined in a single frame were played by virtuosos in the late 18th and 19th centuries and enjoyed enormous popularity. The most common form was the tambourine, or timbrel, a single head on a shallow body, furnished with four or more sets of jingles placed equidistantly around its rim. The metal band Slipknot is most well known for utilizing custom percussion in metal, being that two of the nine members in the band play custom percussion. Twentieth- and 21st-century composers have frequently called for instruments to be played in new and unusual ways.

The membranes of the first two groups are either glued, nailed, lapped, or laced to the body, or shell; if they are glued or nailed, the pitch can be modified by exposure to heat. Without the foundation of sound that the drums provide for a particular rock song, music as we know it today would cease to exist. Although temple blocks are not considered pitched nstruments, they can produce discernable pitches, and some temple blocks are actually tuned to the pentatonic scale.

You run your hand just slightly over my curve as though wanting desperately to touch,
but just not quite ready to commit to the act.
Yet, before I can exhale from the kinetic energy that runs between us from that
almost touch, you take me in hand totally,
and totally breathless, I sigh.
Soft and pliant to your administrations as your fingers alternately
grip me possessively for I am no one but yours;
you knead me solidly until I can do nothing but yield and then
you caress me in tender mercilessness.
Completely without care you lay me down before any who care to witness.
Completely wanton I am spread wide for you as you layer temptations upon me
in what feels like a never-ending circle of desire.
I am lifted, transported and though expecting it, am still totally unprepared
when subjected to the full force of your heat.
Your fire that surrounds, fills me, fulfills me; until it feels like
every square inch of my body is bubbling in throes of the ecstasy I am.
Still quivering, you pull me just from the verge and I want to cry
from this cruel game you play, easily slicing into me knowing
I am too far gone to protest as you take me in to your hands yet again lifting me.
Even if I could, any such dissension is immediately silenced by the sudden feel
of your hot breath across my fevered surface as you lower your tongue
to the tip, slow torturous circles testing, tasting my flavors.
And just when I think I can take no more, I am plunged into the ecstasy of your mouth as
little by little I am devoured by your desired until I am naught by a memory.
You question my hunger for the freshly prepared pizza slice in front of me that sits untouched.
I wipe the crumbs of the slice that is now memory from your lips and assure you that my hunger
is for something else entirely.
Seeing the expression on my face,
you raise an eyebrow quizzically, knowingly…
and I answer…
“Yes, take me home”
Going off the eaten path this evening…
Going off the eaten path. Man, that was hilarious. 🙂
Ha! Glad you liked it.
Ys, take me home indeed. Delicious.
Wonderful … such hunger in this… and such great way to still the hunger.
It is a great way to still the hunger indeed. Thanks Björn.
I love the passion and sensuality ~ Take me home quick 🙂
hahahaha thanks, Grace.
You have really drawn me in with your words!
I tries, thanks Mary.
Incredibly sensuous write… 🙂
Oh my goodness – all that and about a pizza – he he- but truly such an unbelievably amazing piece. It so makes me feel warm. Welcome to OLN and have a great weekend.
“…makes me feel warm” Then I’ve done my job, lol. Thanks Abhra!
Totally engaging and pertinent on so many levels, very clever you had me drawn in. I wonder if I can approach tonight’s pizza in the same way??
However you approached it, I bet it was delicious 🙂 Thanks Summerstommy2.
Oh you threw me off with this. Hilarious!
Bet you’re going to look at that next pizza slice a little differently, lol. Thanks Bryan.

IL-17 Receptor signaling in non-hematopoietic cells mediating the induction from the chemokine CXCL-13 which is necessary for localization of T cells within lung lymphoid follicles. Appropriate T cell localization within lymphoid CHC follicles in the lung is necessary for maximal macrophage control and activation. Since IL-17 includes a vital function in vaccine-induced immunity against TB our outcomes have significant implications for the look of vaccines and therapies to avoid and treat rising strains. Furthermore our data adjustments the prevailing paradigm that IL-17 is normally dispensable for principal immunity against an infection and rather suggests a differential function for IL-17 in early defensive immunity against rising strains. Author Overview isolates in East Asia and about 13% of most isolates world-wide. In animal versions an infection with W-Beijing stress HN878 is known as “hypervirulent” resulting in improved mortality. The proinflammatory cytokine Interleukin (IL)-17 is definitely thought to be dispensable for main immunity against illness. We report here that while IL-17 is definitely dispensable for safety against illness with lab adapted strains such as H37Rv or less virulent medical isolates such as CDC1551 IL-17 is required for early protecting immunity against HN878 illness. The dependence on IL-17 to drive protecting immunity against HN878 is due to the differential ability to induce high levels of IL-1β through a TLR-2-dependent mechanism driving potent IL-17 reactions induction of the chemokine CXCL-13 and localization of T cells within lung lymphoid follicles for maximal macrophage activation and control. Collectively our data switch the existing paradigm that IL-17 is definitely dispensable for main immunity against illness and suggests a differential requirement for IL-17 in protecting immunity against some growing strains. Intro causative agent of CHC tuberculosis (TB) infects one third of the world’s populace. While most infected individuals develop latent TB 5 of infected individuals develop active TB. In addition although most infected people with latent TB remain asymptomatic they have ～10% lifetime risk of developing into active TB. Among these infections clinical isolates becoming typed as belonging to the W-Beijing strain look like increasingly prevalent. In fact recent reports display that W-Beijing family strains symbolize about 50% of isolates in East Asia and are believed to take into account at least 13% of most isolates world-wide -. Moreover multiple studies have got discovered that W-Beijing strains are over-represented among medication resistant isolates   and so are significantly connected with individual immunodeficiency trojan (HIV) an infection in human beings . In pet models an infection with HN878 isolate the very best studied from the W-Beijing isolates is normally regarded as “hypervirulent” since it results in elevated mortality and causes serious immunopathology in contaminated pets  . Furthermore CHC CHC studies claim that Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination could be much less defensive against W-Beijing genotype strains  hence adding to its effective recent worldwide introduction. The immune replies that mediate defensive immunity against an infection are through the creation of proinflammatory cytokines such as for example Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) and Tumor necrosis aspect alpha (TNF-α) both cytokines that activate macrophages to mediate control. That is in keeping with the discovering that HN878 an infection in mice induces a sort I Interferon response which limitations the era of T helper type 1 cells (Th1) that make IFN-γ and TNF-α  . Furthermore HN878 an infection also inhibits the creation of TNF-α in macrophages  recommending that the elevated virulence of HN878 an infection may be because of the decreased era CHC of Th1 replies and impaired macrophage activation in the web host. Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is normally a pro-inflammatory cytokine well defined for its function in host protection against extracellular bacterial pathogens . Rabbit Polyclonal to RIOK3. We had previously shown the IL-17 pathway is not required for main immunity against illness with the lab adapted strain H37Rv -. However it is not known whether IL-17 offers any part to play in protecting immunity against illness with medical isolates. In the current study we tested whether IL-17 is required for protecting immunity following illness with the hypervirulent HN878 and the less virulent CHC CDC1551 medical isolates. Remarkably we found that while lab adapted.

I’m in awe of my daughter, Kaitlyn
and all that she is teaching me about trust.
I listen to her pray for breakfast
thanking God for already knowing
the house He’s chosen for us.
It never crosses her mind
not to believe He’s got it covered
and that she doesn’t have to worry
My heart skips a beat when I hear her pray

The Death of Moore's Law: T-Minus 15 Years and Counting
Michael Hoffman & Kristopher Kubicki
September 19, 2007 11:46 AM
comment(s) - last by
A young Gordon Moore circa 1975
Gordon Moore took part in the afternoon keynote during IDF 2007
The fall edition of the 2007 Intel Developer Forum (IDF) is officially underway from the San Francisco Moscone Center. The Tuesday morning keynote featured more
details about the
as one of the main points of the discussion.
In a later session, Dr. Moira Gunn, host of NPR Tech Nation, hosted a fireside chat with Gordon Moore, Intel co-founder and creator of Moore's Law. Moore received a well-deserved standing ovation from the crowded conference hall packed with thousands of attendees more than willing to respect a Silicon Valley legend.
Of course, the question on everyone's mind was the validity of Moore's Law. Specifically, whether or not it holds up today the same way it did when Moore first documented his observations almost forty years ago.
Moore's Law -- actually more of a conjecture -- essentially states the number of transistors placed on an integrated circuit doubles every two years. His observation helped outline trends the semiconductor industry for more than 40 years.
"We have another decade, a decade and a half, before we hit something that is fairly fundamental," Moore said during the session. That something "fundamental" is material science. Even the most advanced lithography conceivable today can't eliminate the brick wall that is the nanoscale.
Even at some point, lining up individual atoms no longer becomes feasible for transistor design. Researchers from Intel are already easing into the field of using carbon nanotubes for processor interconnects; a team from
the University of Pennsylvania just announced a new method for storing data
via phase-changing nanowires
"It's an exciting time," he said. "I'd love to come back in 100 years and see what happened in the meantime."
Of course, even Moore's understanding of transistor trends is no match for the prowess of ambitious engineers. Conventional computing principles go out the window with
the advent of quantum computing
, for example. Other types of alternative computing, including biological-based neural-computing, does not readily translate to transistor-count -- but that hasn't stopped researchers from
making enormous progress in the last few years
The death of Moore's Law is imminent, but new research and new materials assure that its successor will pack the same punch.

Now we have chips that are a billion or so transistors, but 800 million of which are cache.
This is certainly true for Intel, but AMD doesn't have nearly as much cache as Intel.

AMD doesn't have chips that large though, they are at about 1/2 a Billion or so right now. Though their core logic to cache ratio will be going towards more cache with their Shanghai refresh on the 45nm. SO AMD's is slowly headed towards that.

The mission of the United Way of Northern Ozaukee is to make a positive difference for our communities.
Our vision is to mobilize resources to positively impact Northern Ozaukee County's health and human service needs through financial support and strong relationships with member agencies.
- Staff: one part-time Executive Director, who works out of her home
- 183 volunteers help with all phases of the operation.
- In 2013, over 2300 volunteer hours were donated by board members and community volunteers to help run our operations
United Way of Northern Ozaukee works collaboratively with seventeen partner agencies to solve some of the county's most pressing needs. We focus our efforts on the health and human service issues that are unique to our community; these four key areas are the building blocks for a strong community.
- Nurturing Children & Families
- Helping the Elderly Remain Independent
- Removing Barriers to the Disabled
- Helping when Misfortune Strikes
The dollars that are raised here, stay here. Over 85% of the money raised goes right back into the community, invested in community programs.
Our board: 21-25 business leaders and community volunteers who live and work in Ozaukee County. They understand that despite our high median household incomes, many individuals and families struggle to meet basic needs. When it comes to allocating donated funds, they are committed stewards.
Communities: The programs and services funded by United Way of Northern Ozaukee benefit all of Ozaukee County. However, our fundraising focus is in the northern part of Ozaukee County to comply with fundraising guidelines set forth by United Way Worldwide. Currently we raise funds in the following communities: Port Washington, Saukville, Belgium, Fredonia, and Waubeka.

This plugin can then inspect for web accessibility issues by means of an automated algorithm, and determine potential updates to increase the ease of access.
While in some easier cases this automated internet browser plugin might be enough, in other cases more may be required. For example, after getting a noncompliance letter, or a lawsuit, a website would require to repair every last concern, and not rely on the automated tools. In those cases, EqualWeb uses its group of accessibility professionals, and a Complete Remediation package.

The College Theology Society holds its Sixty-Third Annual Convention from Thursday evening, June 1 through Sunday morning, June 4, 2017, at Salve Regina University in Newport, Rhode Island.
American Catholicism in the 21st Century:
Crossroads, Crisis, or Renewal?
Even the most cursory observation of news and op-ed pieces concerning the Catholic Church in the United States could lead one to conclude that the Church here is at a crossroads, if not in crisis. These reports draw their conclusions from multiple sources, including sociological data concerning the devotional practices of American Catholics, fracture among U.S. Catholics over political and economic issues (“Social Justice” Catholics vs. “Right to Life” Catholics), or reactions to the censorship of a prominent American Catholic theologian’s most recent monograph. These reports, which reflect real division among U.S. Catholics on a wide-range of issues, begs a number of questions: Who is an “American Catholic”? How do they think of themselves and how are they perceived? What is the status today of the Church in the U.S. and what are its future prospects, from both an insider and outsider perspective? Are there resources in the Catholic tradition and from within broader U.S. society and culture that can help to answer these questions? What can Catholics learn from American Protestants--particularly our friends in the NABPR--who have faced many of the same questions before?
But not all news is bad. There are also genuine signs of hope within American Catholicism. The enthusiasm and excitement that Pope Francis has brought to Americans both in and out of the Church appears unprecedented and seems to reveal something of the hunger American Catholics have for a renewal of their faith. Likewise, the “Great Recession” and the seemingly never-ending wars that have marked American life in these first years of the 21st century call to mind another period in U.S. history a century ago. It was during those first decades of the 20th century, also shaped by economic and political turmoil, that some of the most creative and inspiring figures and movements in American Catholic history emerged: Dorothy Day and the Catholic Worker, Virgil Michel and the Liturgical movement, Catherine de Hueck and Friendship House, Paul Hanly Furfey and the “New Social Catholicism,” Mary Elizabeth Walsh and the Campions, The Grail, Charles Owen Rice and Catholic Radical Alliance, among many others. Is such renewal already taking place in America? Perhaps now is the time to hope for, identify, and encourage similar creative renewal and re-energizing to emerge--a time to look for a new Dorothy Day. What resources within the tradition can help us to enable this kind of renewal?
It has been nearly twenty years since the College Theology Society has focused on the topic of American Catholicism. In fact, 2016 marks the 20th anniversary of the Sandra Yocum and William Portier edited volume American Catholic Traditions: Resources for Renewal, which offered an opportunity for readers “to learn and reflect on the roots of American Catholicism and its meaning today.” We propose that the time is ripe for the CTS to take-up, once again, this topic. Over the course of the last two decades, new questions or new forms of perennial questions have emerged, questions concerning American Catholic identity and identities; ecumenism and religious pluralism; Catholic engagement with American society and culture; the very idea of being “American” and being “Catholic.” This conference will encourage scholars to explore these questions, and to consider the past, present, and future prospects of U.S. Catholicism.
Additional relevant questions include but are not limited to: What does American Catholicism look like today? What is the state of the Catholic community in the U.S. given widespread debate in overlapping areas including liturgy, politics, sexual ethics, social justice? What is the status of the reception of Vatican II in the U.S. with respect to these same topics and others? Are we at an important moment in the history of American Catholicism, namely the end of an almost 200 year old idea that America is good for Catholics and Catholics can make a unique contribution to American society and culture? How are Catholics in the United States engaging (or not) in ecumenical and inter-religious dialogue? What are the views of American Catholicism from the perspective of various Protestant communities, from other religious traditions, secular bodies in the United States? What is the place of American Catholicism and “American Catholic studies” in the academy today?
The convention Co-Chairs and Annual Volume Editors are Professsor Nicholas Rademacher (Cabrini University, Pennsylvania) and Professor Benjamin Peters (University of Saint Joseph, Connecticut). The plenary speakers will be announced, and their biographies posted, by November 1, 2017.
The Call for Papers will be available here on September 16, 2016. Proposals should be 250-500 words in length and include one’s current institutional affiliation and position. Proposals should be submitted to the appropriate conveners no later than Friday, December 16, 2016. Scholars will be notified of the status of their proposals by Monday, January 16, 2017.
Scholars who are invited to present their work at a national convention of the College Theology Society must be current members of the CTS no later than April 1, 2017 in order to appear in the program. No person may submit more than one proposal for consideration and nor will submissions to multiple sections be considered. Failure to observe these policies may result in the scholar's disqualification to present a paper at the Annual Convention.
The first draft of the Convention Program will be available on or about March 15, 2017, and online registration will also open at that time.
The National Association of Baptist Professors of Religion will once again be joining us this year.
Further questions about our 2017 Annual Convention at Salve Regina University can be directed to Father Dave Gentry-Akin, Executive Director of National Conventions, at firstname.lastname@example.org.

I had a great travel with japan airlines no stress at all...thank you i will be seeing you on board again
canceled flight that is still a current charge on my credit card, I will be disputing this charge from japan airlines
What I like is the fact that when my kid got a toy after the take off. It really was brightened her day. Maybe minimize the decline position in economy class. Although I think the space is bigger than most other airlines.
It was perfect. Thank you so much!
缺點： "JAL cabin attendants and people from customer center were very professional and nice"
優點： "Was able to get home toward Los Angeles with delays and change in plane so did not get proper seating as reserved."
缺點： "The plane was delayed from Tokyo to Los Angeles due to a pilot staffing issue. The plane stopped in Honolulu at 6:00AM in the morning and no staff was able to assist so they made everyone go through the run-around to have the luggage scanned for agriculture. Then they stated that even though we had pre-check, we did not qualify and the boarding pass was not issued with Honolulu to LAX. Over 5 hours delay and did not know that we could have stayed in Hawaii free room and meals. Terrible and one of the worst vacations ever for returning to the US. The food was not great."
優點： "The service and food was great. Plains are new."
優點： "It was great..."
缺點： "Lavatories on domestic flights in Japan are tiny. Like, super duper tiny."
優點： "All of the crews were polite and friendly, and the food was tasty."
缺點： "If there're more variety of movies, that would be great."
優點： "I did upgrade to economy premium which is why the flight was very comfortable. Would not have upgraded except I made a mistake in the currency conversion and thought the upgrade was cheaper than it was."
缺點： "Did not really like the chef's cuisine as opposed to the one on my outward flight to Japan which was excellent."
優點： "The food on the plane is really good. The airline assistants are very friendly. The whole trip is really comfortable."
缺點： "The travel is too long for me. If there’s a direct flight, it only takes 12 to 13 hours for me to land but this trip took me 19 hours because the weather and they have to change the transfer spot to another in Japan."
優點： "Staff and service good"
缺點： "777-300 plane business class very old and tired"
優點： "The business class layout was very good. Seats comfortable with excellent cabin staff and the food and its presentation was A+"
缺點： "Hard to think of something here...possibly better movie selection and having to bus from plane to terminal... But that's about it!"
優點： "Lots of leg room in economy, flat screen, very friendly crew, and this was the cheapest direct flight to Japan I could find 2 weeks in advance!"
優點： "New plane, excellent service both on the ground and air. Above average food."
優點： "The seating on this plane was super spacious and comfortable- leg and seats. Also the seatbelt gave real room. The plane was cleaned; crew friendly, food delicious- featuring semi- famous chefs and well ventilated."
缺點： "Flights should enter from back to front that way you're not waking over people to get your seat.-"
優點： "I was randomly upgraded for the first 10 hours of my trip to Premium economy and it was amazing. Two big hot meals served throughout the flight and plenty of drink service. lots of leg room and could recline comfortably. Flight attendants were wonderful and very helpful. Lots of new movies to watch and games to keep you entertained."
缺點： "Flew economy for the 2nd part of my trip and the seat was very hard and was impossible to get comfy. Same meal service as premium economy and was once again delicious. Much colder on this flight and the thin blankets do very little to help."
優點： "As expected not overly done nor less of comfort and services. Only it was confusing that I had to move from international terminal to Domestic terminal due to first transfer was with in Domestic airport."
缺點： "I have purchased Japan Airline to travel but unexpectedly I had to deal with American Air for half of my flight. God help them please. It was hell from start to finish. Japan Air, I feel sorry for you that your alliance with American Air."
優點： "As expected everything was not overly done nor less of comfort and services. The food was Excellent quality and prepared with care. The airplane was new types and flew fast and smooth."
缺點： "The Kansai airport was huge and super fancy. Shere number of people were like the Zoo and its designed to move people through all the retail shops to get to my gate."
優點： "The Crew"
缺點： "This terminal is not easy to find. You have to take bus from the main terminal."
優點： "From check in to final destination, customer service to amenities, Japan Airlines exceeded my expectations in every regard."
缺點： "The flights were everything I expected and more."
優點： "Great service and terrific vegan meals served. Facilities were clean and personnel were very helpful and provided terrific service to the passengers."
優點： "The food was good. Seats were as comfortable as any flight is."
缺點： "There were no diet soft drinks available on the flight."
優點： "Once again the service from the flight attendants was perfect."
優點： "I feel like I got way more than what I paid for with this airline! The hostesses were super friendly always offering some sort of beverage, the food was tasty (Be careful not to drop noodles on yourself like I did, those bad boys left a little mark). The video selection wasn't huge, but it was definitely adequate with good titles. Maybe I haven't noticed this before in other airlines, but they had new toothbrushes (packaged, not someone's forgotten toothbrush) in the restroom so the poor sap next to me didn't have to smell my stinky breath. Finally, they were quick with boarding! They were very punctual and we took off right when we got on, so nice!"
缺點： "The seats were pretty adequately sized, however, I felt like I couldn't lay back too far or if the the person in front of me did, it made it really difficult to get the seats. Also, I thought it was my headphones, but it happened on a couple of flights with different headphones, but the audio only comes out of one earphone which was slightly annoying... Other than those things, JAL is super solid and I would recommend it to anyone considering them."
優點： "Very efficient boarding. Using two doors and a twin aisle plane made boarding very efficient despite the size of the plane and the number of people. Free WiFi worked surprisingly well - I was able to make a video call to my family. The plane was clean and tidy . Not really much more to say as it was a very short flight."
缺點： "No food offered, not even a biscuit, only very basic drink selection."
優點： "Friendly and respectful staff, great meals, tasty!"
缺點： "Never make it on flight because the connection flight so messed up. Need to purchase new ticket with different airline finally."
優點： "Everything bad"
缺點： "Bad customer service, I don't speak English good , can't understand them jet blue"
優點： "Flight attendants were super helpful and lovely, couldn't have asked for better. Very pleasant experience. Plane was clean and tidy and they arranged us all so the majority of us had a spare seat in the middle which I'm sure everyone appreciated."
優點： "I like everything about my flight"
缺點： "There was nothing to dislike"
優點： "All was fine"
優點： "Always a pleasure to fly on JAL. Despite a cramped seat in economy, the flight attendants made up for the uncomfortable seat. They are attentive, helpful, and courteous. Time went quickly."
缺點： "Seats are too small for tall travelers."
優點： "The food and plum wine. The entertainment packet was nice too!"
缺點： "The folks coughing on the plane."
優點： "The crew were all exceptionally pleasant, helpful."
缺點： "I didn't care at all for the food."
優點： "Extremely nice flight attendants, little toothbrushes in the bathroom, pretty decent meals. I would definitely flight with again."
優點： "The excellent service and courteous staff."
缺點： "Three babies were crying throughout the flight which made the flight in uncomfortable. The flight attendants were spending a lot of time accommodating the babies and parents requests."
優點： "Very attentive service, very comfortable seats on economy, good food, excellent attention to detail"
優點： "The Japanese flight attentants were excellent. Entertainment was excellent"
缺點： "I didn't like the other asian flight attendants. They were rude. Asked for water, she said we're not serving water only juice at this time. Asked for Consume or Dashi there weren't any. asked for diet coke they ran out. very small things but weren't able to satisfy our trip back to HNL."
優點： "Good food and punctuality"
缺點： "No English subtitles for English speaking movies"
優點： "The entertainment system was grest with many movie optionstar and a large screen for viewing. The seat was very comfortable and there plenty of leg room."
缺點： "The plane was delayed by 45min and I had a connecting flight which I ended not missing. The food was average. I was expecting something a little more Japanese instead of chicken pasta. And I didn't have a second option."
Everything was excellent!
Food from Philippines to Japan was excellent but served a little late. Food from Japan to USA WAS LOUSY and they only served hot food one time for breakfast which means 2 hours away from arrival. Hot food meal should have been served 2 hours after boarding in an airport where everything ia closed after 9 pm. Some of the connecting passengers did not have a hot meal for at least 12 hours or maybe more.
優點： "Love ANA. Always a pleasure."
缺點： "Great flight everything smooth - the food is fantastic I flew economy and received excellent food. The employees are very friendly and the plane was a recent model Boeing very smooth."
優點： "Crew was amazing, food was filling & plentiful."
缺點： "Overall no complaints but the landing in Tokyo was a little rough. Pilot seemed to descend quickly which hurt my ears but otherwise, smooth flight."
優點： "Everything was good but we were not able to select seats on the leg from Tokyo to Nagoya until arrive at check in and by that time all seats assigned and we could not be seated together and had to have middle seats. ANA needs to work this out..."
缺點： "The sound for the entertain in seat 26G never worked....unsatisfactory for such a new aircraft “Dreamliner”, make it a dream."
缺點： "The main issue was getting off the plane in Sydney - we had to wait for a bus to offload us as the plane was sitting a long distance from the terminal. The bus eventually came, offloaded half the passengers and then returned 20 minutes later to start to offload the rest. It's the longest time I've ever spend disembarking from a plane and clearing an airport - very poor whoever was responsible (I'm assuming Sydney airport was at fault)."
優點： "Service was impeccable, as usual, from check-in to boarding. Crew was attentive and friendly."
缺點： "Cabin was too warm. Seems there is no way to adjust temperature /individual air flow on a 777-300."
優點： "Great experience overall."
缺點： "It was a short hopper so didn't mind much. I actually slept on this plane."
優點： "Your crew.they are wonderful,we are flying with ANA this morning we hope to have the same experience.thank you."
缺點： "There isn't a bad comment."
優點： "The whole process from boarding to exit was perfect. The seats, the food the service was great"
缺點： "The movie selection is somewhat weak"
優點： "Everything about this airline made my flight pleasant. The staff were polite and accommodating"
優點： "Even though the flight was around 45 min, still got a nice cup of consomme soup while I was working on the in-flight WiFi. Overall good for a short flight but basic interior with poor visibility of safety video on 787-9."
缺點： "Boarding is a bit chaotic. Only people at the front of the queue can see the correct places to stand, so many people were trying to push in the front of the queue because the signs weren't visible from some angles or from far away. Basically couldn't see the inflight safety videos from my seat (17K) because of the curvature of the overhead bins and positions of the few screens (no seat-back monitors)."
優點： "The staff are so friendly and helpful. The seats in premium economy are perfect for long flights and the food was great."
缺點： "Nothing bad"
優點： "On time. Nice 787 Dreamliner. Very comfortable flight."
優點： "Ground staff and in-flight crew were excellent. The food was very good. The business class seat was comfortable."
缺點： "Got flagged for secondary screening prior to boarding, although it probably wasn't ANA's decision. Video quality of the In-flight entertainment wasn't that great. The AC power plug could have been in a better spot. My power adapter would not fit."
優點： "The crew were helpful, attentive and nice. There were vacant seats so i was able to change to a more comfortable seat."
缺點： "The food was horrible. The selections for movies is quite limited."
缺點： "The flight was delay .and I can’t able to catch my connecting flight I have to extra money for other connection flight"
優點： "Good service, food"
缺點： "Too many announcements the whole flight Wake you up 2 hours before landing by turning on lights, activity (too much time, need more sleep)"
優點： "Crew amazing and food very good."
缺點： "Crew woke us up 2 hours before landing, would ha e been great to sleep longer."
優點： "Service, Cleanliness and Overall Quality"
缺點： "We got lie flat cubicle seats on the way out but just tilt seats on the return, both on new 787's. After a 11 hour flight in lie flat cubicles and connecting to a standard recline BC seat is a bit painful."
優點： "Overall it was a great experience. I enjoyed the food, the flight attendants were very nice, and I enjoyed the amenities as well."
缺點： "The flight back was amazing. The trip from Chicago to PHILIPPINES was good as well, though the plane was real small on the way to Manila."
缺點： "Flight attendant didn't mention so well about drink service."
優點： "It was a fast flight, the crew was very accommodating and it was very comfortable."
缺點： "Not enough space to put my luggages"
優點： "The most impressive is consistenty great service from check in, in the air and online costumer service.. they are very pleasant , humble and genuine, always trying giving what you need."
優點： "Attentive, very prompt when I indicated that there was condensation drip from the cabin roof. Vegan/vegetarian food was well prepared and staff were very knowledgeable with food choices and options."

Officials of the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) in Newport, R.I., announced plans Monday to release a formal solicitation later this month for the TR-232C Transducers project to manufacture, test, inspect, package, and deliver TR-232C transducers, TR-232C connectors, and TR-232 boots.
The TR-232 performs the high-power, low frequency transducer function for the Navy's AN/WQC-2A underwater sonar communication system, which is in-use on more than 600 naval surface ships and submarines worldwide. The transducer is a piezoelectric design and features a horizontal radial omni-directional beam pattern.
NUWC officials say they will issue a formal solicitation (N66604-18-R-0136) for the TR-232C transducer around 29 Nov. 2017. The contract will be a follow-on to a $10.1 million contract awarded in 1999 to EDO Electro-Ceramic Products in Salt Lake City, which now is part of Harris Corp.
The AN/WQC-2A sonar communication set, of which the TR-232C transducers are a part, is a single sideband, general-purpose voice and continuous-wave communication set that functions as an underwater communications system to link surface ships, submarines, and coastal-based shore stations.
Test range sites and other coastal installations also use the AN/WQC-2A to communicate with nearby vessels. This system is installed on most U.S. Navy surface ships and submarines. It transmits and receives voice, audio, and low-speed telegraphy for short- and long-distance underwater communications.
The set also can be used to amplify and transmit signals from external sources. Ultra Electronics Ocean Systems in Braintree, Mass., is a longtime supplier of the AN/WQC-2A, with more than 300 sonar sets produced for the U.S. Navy and foreign customers, company officials say.
The AN/WQC-2A consists of a control station, a remote control station, a receiver-transmitter, as well as low- and high-frequency transducers.
The TR-232C transducer, which the Navy will offer to users as government-furnished equipment, are for all classes of submarines and select surface ships -- especially Navy aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, frigates, and mine-countermeasures vessels.
A transducer converts electrical energy to sound, and sound back to electrical energy. Essentially it acts as a loudspeaker and microphone to enable naval vessels to talk to one another through the water. Transducers also are essential elements of Navy sonar systems by transmitting sonar sound pulses through the water and listening for returning sound echoes that suggests the presence of an enemy submarine or other target of interest.
The Navy will issue the TR-232C solicitation on a 100 percent small business set-aside to small businesses with the technical capability, facilities, equipment, and qualifications to produce the TR-232C transducer.
More information is online at https://www.fbo.gov/spg/DON/NAVSEA/N66604/N66604-18-R-0136/listing.html. Email questions or concerns to the Navy's Rosemary Shuman at [email protected].

Absolutely most-definitely don’t even think about trying this at home, but…definitely most-absolutely be sure to watch the video below to know what’s possible. I frankly had no idea a capacitor was capable of so much smoke. The 220µF capacitance rating can be seen on the lid of the component, but I don’t see a voltage rating so it’s unclear what they’re potentially pumping through the component – what appears to be a Nichicon electrolytic capacitor, possibly one of their large can type aluminum caps, maybe the LGL, LGM, or similar capacitor. Either way I’m all ԅ(☉Д☉)╮
(that little flash of electricity near the end is a nice touch too!)

Welcome back to 12 Months of Wreaths!
Hi everyone! Welcome back to our second month of 12 Months of Wreaths! This month, I wanted to work on a wreath that I could hang on our new cathedral mirror that is above our console table. I wanted something neutral and clean… I decided a coffee filter wreath would be perfect! These wreaths have been done many times, but this is the first one I’ve made and I’ll be sharing the instructions below.
I love the texture this wreath adds and you’d never think it is just hundreds of coffee filters glued to a wreath form!
Welcome to 12 Months of Wreaths – February!

Thanks again for joining us! We will be sharing a new wreath once a month in 2017! Be sure to stop by all of the hosts to see what wreath we came up with for the month!
Are you interested in sharing a wreath with us one (or more) months? We are accepting guest hosts! Email carrie (at) curlycraftymom (dot) com if you are interested!
Now I will share with you how I created this gorgeous wreath!
How to Create a Simple Coffee Filter Wreath:
The supplies for this craft are basic, you just need a 12″ flat wreath form, ribbon and coffee filters. I used 400 coffee filters for this wreath!
Tie your ribbon around the wreath form, make it long enough to be a hanger.
These pictures show you how to fold each coffee filter. Basically, you fold it in half three times.
Fold the tip to make a point. This point is what you’ll hot glue to the wreath form. Then, hot glue each individual coffee filter down one by one in the same direction.
I think it took me 4-5 hours to make this entire wreath. I broke it up and worked on it an hour a day. It isn’t hard, just time consuming.
More Photos of the Wreath in the Room:
Here is the wreath in the room, I still need to decorate my console table for the spring, it’s been pretty bare since the holidays.
Just a gorgeous detail shot of the wreath.
Thanks for joining us this month! I can’t wait to share our wreaths again next month with you!

I enjoyed your article – “Thy Kingdom Come”. My question is regarding Rev 22 and Ezekiel 47. The river is flowing from the throne in Rev 22 and from the temple or the house in Ezekiel 47. If there is no temple in the New Jerusalem (because God is) but the river flows out of the midst of it – does that mean the river in Rev 22 is not in the New Jerusalem? Will there be a temple in the Jerusalem on earth that the river flows from? I was thinking that the River of Life was in the heavenly city? Maybe I was wrong on that. Could you help clarify that for me?
Rev. 21:22 tells us there won’t be a temple in the New Jerusalem because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its Temple. Ezekiel 43:6-7 tell us that God’s throne will be in the Temple in Israel on Earth. Therefore, Ezekiel 47:1 and Rev. 22 agree that the river flows from the temple on Earth, where God’s throne is.
The Temple on Earth won’t be in Jerusalem, but in Shiloh, a few miles north. A careful plotting of the land distribution in Ezekiel 48 will reveal this. The current Temple mount in Jerusalem will be destroyed by the Earthquake described in Zechariah 14:4. You’ll find another description of the river in Zech. 14:8 which describes living water flowing east and west through the valley created by the quake, half to the Mediterranean and half to the Dead Sea, on Earth.

Ten months of an intercultural EVS experience in a new country is the perfect way to better learn to express yourself culturally. Elena, a great lover of cinema and literature, has taken advantage of her stay in Portugal to gain a new perspective about how different kinds of artistic products are made in different European countries and regions.
- Where does your interest in literature and cinema come from?
Since I was a kid I have always loved reading and I have always read a lot. I think that reading is the easiest way to travel to other places, to let your imagination fly and to put yourself in other people’s shoes. It is also a perfect way to dream and to think about things that maybe you wouldn’t normally think about, and it happens the same way with the cinema. My interest in cinema increased when I began my studies in Audiovisual Communication because I started to be steeped in stories, to analyse them and to understand them from a different perspective. I also got to know new films and authors and, therefore, started to appreciate what a good story means. For me it is amazing when someone is able to tell you a story (with words, images or music, it doesn’t matter) that can touch you , let you think or simply entertain you if it is in a smart way. For me, when you find a good story, coherent and well built, the main objective of making a film or writing a book is achieved, and it is magic. I really believe that culture should be a very important part of our lives in order to extend our perspectives about the world we live in.
- We can talk about a new generation of authors, some of them quite young. Do you think that there are prejudices about their work's quality and maturity?
I think that youngsters are supposed to prove always their talent and their values with more effort because they don’t have experience and that happens in any field, not only in the cultural sphere. In that sense, of course there are prejudices, because they are not given enough space to show what they are able to do and to offer to the world. And I also think that it is a big mistake to assume that someone experienced is always doing quality things and that a promising author is not going to be in the same league. Experience is always an important plus, but there are some directors like Almodóvar who, in my opinion, are making worse works in terms of content now than when they were younger, maybe because they are a sure bet for the industry and they don’t have to show anything else. And this is also a prejudice in the other sense: there is no space for people with fresher ideas just because the industry and the public assume that the work of consolidated authors is better.
- Do you think that their contribution to the actual literary and cinematographic panorama is meaningful? Is it recognized by the critics and the public?
Since the critics have access to the circuit where different things can be found, they can watch and read works that will hardly arrive to the general public, and it is a shame because we are missing very good films and books. So maybe new authors are not meaningful enough just because of the way the industry is built. Only independent publishing houses and production companies put their attention in new authors and ideas. I think that more courage is needed in order to show new works, the industry is very conservative and they stick to what they know that works because some part of the public doesn’t have any kind of critical sense and they only consume trash. But it is also true that there are more and more people interested in discovering different things. We can see it in the good turnout in cinema festivals or book fairs, where those other exceptional works can be found. There are also new channels of expression and distribution and new authors have to use them to find their place. The future is always depending on young people and all the efforts should be devoted there, new authors should have good opportunities and proper conditions to create and diffuse their creations. And it is also fundamental to inculcate in the new generations the taste to choose quality instead of quantity in their cultural consumption to avoid stagnation in the creative field and in terms of education.
- Can you see any difference between Portugal and Spain in terms of the way how is recognized the youngsters' artistic production?
Youngsters are trying to make their way in both countries and I have the impression that in Portugal it is easier for them because the country is smaller and because I think that there is a new generation of people very well prepared and with an excellent taste that maybe doesn't exist in Spain. I don't know so deeply the conditions in Portugal, but in Spain everything is more closed and there is not much space for new things and fresh air in the traditional channels.
- How is the literary market working in Spain? How important is it in the international sphere?
Literary market in Spain is experimenting deterioration because of the crisis. The internal market is decreasing in terms of sales and benefits but the exportations are increasing a lot, especially to America. And Spain is the eighth biggest editorial power in the world, which is quite good. But talking in terms of literature in Spanish, I think that Latin American productions are much more recognized internationality than the Spanish ones. In terms of authors, Latin America has a lot of very well known outstanding writers around the world like Mario Benedetti, Mario Vargas-Llosa, Gabriel García Márquez or Isabel Allende, and this is something than we don’t have in Spain, so maybe we need to work harder on it.
- What are the different independent cinematographic productions showing us about Europe?
Cinema is made from stories and if we are talking about independent movies we are also talking about more worldly, personal and intimate stories than in a big commercial production. The worries or emotions that a specific author shows in their films or the way to show them can be easily shared with the people living in the same country, it can exist a closer identification with the film. From this point of view, I think that every national cinematographic production in Europe can show us the way of living and thinking in each country, even if sometimes they can also fall into the stereotypes or exaggerations. Obviously, Spain is not exactly as Almodóvar is showing it in his films, but there is something in his way to tell stories that represents us somehow. French cinematographic industry, for instance, is very representative in this sense. Cinema is very powerful in France and it has a lot of support from the public because it is a way to adopt an attitude and present themselves to the world and they can feel the films as their own films; the whole concept of “French cinema” is something made in a French way that represents them as a nation and they are proud of it. And, of course, films also have a great support from the institutions because they acknowledge the value and influence of having a powerful culture industry.
- Can the different kinds of artistic productions contribute to build an European identity?
Absolutely. In Europe, where lots of different cultures come together with their different cultural displays reflecting their own identities, the creation and diffusion of those works can be also an important element of cohesion and approach. I believe in culture as a way of reaffirmation of the own identity and if we can also see through a film, a book or a song that despite of the evident differences in another European country people have the same worries or thoughts that we have, we can immediately feel some connection. I think that culture means everything for the development of a society and European Union should continue promoting and supporting it decisively.
- And talking about culture, what book, film and song would you recommend?
A book: Primavera con una esquina rota, by Mario Benedetti.
A film: The Hours, by Stephen Daldry.
A song: Santa Maria da Feira, de Devendra Banhart.

Chinese Comfort Women: Testimonies from Imperial Japan's Sex Slaves (Oxford Oral History)by Peipei Qiu
Synopses & Reviews
During the Asia-Pacific War, the Japanese military forced hundreds of thousands of women across Asia into "comfort stations" where they were repeatedly raped and tortured. Japanese imperial forces claimed they recruited women to join these stations in order to prevent the mass rape of local women and the spread of venereal disease among soldiers. In reality, these women were kidnapped and coerced into sexual slavery. Comfort stations institutionalized rape, and these "comfort women" were subjected to atrocities that have only recently become the subject of international debate.
Chinese Comfort Women: Testimonies from Japan's Imperial Sex Slaves features the personal narratives of twelve women forced into sexual slavery when the Japanese military occupied their hometowns. Beginning with their prewar lives and continuing through their enslavement to their postwar struggles for justice, these interviews reveal that the prolonged suffering of the comfort station survivors was not contained to wartime atrocities but was rather a lifelong condition resulting from various social, political, and cultural factors. In addition, their stories bring to light several previously hidden aspects of the comfort women system: the ransoms the occupation army forced the victims' families to pay, the various types of improvised comfort stations set up by small military units throughout the battle zones and occupied regions, and the sheer scope of the military sexual slavery-much larger than previously assumed. The personal narratives of these survivors combined with the testimonies of witnesses, investigative reports, and local histories also reveal a correlation between the proliferation of the comfort stations and the progression of Japan's military offensive.
The first English-language account of its kind, Chinese Comfort Women exposes the full extent of the injustices suffered by and the conditions that caused them.
"This significant scholarly contribution to the history of Imperial Japan's enslavement of 'comfort women' before and during WWII presents the first English translation of testimonies from Chinese comfort women — a group that made up at least half of the 400,000 women detained and systematically brutalized in the Japanese military's comfort stations. At the book's center are 12 testimonials of survivors (most of whom have since died) who recount violent, inhuman treatment at the hands of the Japanese military and wartime collaborators. The book contextualizes their experience in relation to the progression of the Second Sino-Japanese War (1931 — 1945). The wartime context is key to the particular viciousness meted by an invading and occupying force, and explains the double injustice the women faced, not only at the hands of the enemy but also by their society. Nationalist prejudice and patriarchal ideology combined to dismiss and deepen the women's suffering, and prolong injustice. The final section examines the international compensation campaign and redress movement by, and on behalf of, survivors, which began in the 1990s and included no less than 10 unsuccessful lawsuits against the Japanese government, as well as a galvanizing war crimes tribunal in Tokyo in 2000. This vital work, combining exemplary scholarship and humanitarian activism, should prove valuable to a wide audience and indispensable to specialists. 24 b&w illus.

As per an article published in the industry of things, it is expected that employees are going to change jobs more frequently with the rising growth in industrial automation where factories are focused more on the development of the generation and collecting insights related to data at a machine level.
As we can see, machines are not only becoming a source of just acting as a user interface but also a medium where with the increase in performance the improvement in daily activities can be seen.
Technology that is AI-controlled or machine learning is allowing products and equipment to perform at a level where data can be generated to predicted and forecast future solutions in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) devices. The data can be analyzed by combining the users to predict the failures of the machine potentially so that malfunctions can be avoided and the quality of the product can be control to degrade.
The situation also confronts how far technology can be seen as a growing power of handling the hurdles but also provide a path for a better life to lead. Is it possible that machines can be taught in a way where a wide range of automation equipment in factories can enable the production related to IIoT and algorithms which AI optimized can be implemented in the equipment?
AI can be designed with equipment that is controlled for an immediate approach to detect signs of any irregularities where the machine automation can be controlled with the AI algorithm and the repeated movement can be learned with precise sensor data.
