On Nov. 21, 1873, the wife and four daughters of Horatio Spafford boarded a trans-Atlantic ocean liner. On the fourth day at sea, they collided with a passing ship. Within minutes 226 passengers including the four Spafford children died. While sailing on the next available ship to join his grieving wife, Spafford wrote the inspirational hymn, “It Is Well with My Soul”;
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll;Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul.
It is inspiring to think such encouraging words in Spafford’s famous hymn were born from the depths of such sorrow and deep faith in Jesus. This is usually where Spafford’s story ends; however, after the tragic loss of his children and the penning of the hymn, Spafford became emotionally and psychologically unstable in his reasoning and his relationships. Consequently, he lost his wealth and his career. He was also removed as a lead elder forced out of his church due to irrational theological beliefs. Thomas Corts described this part of Spafford’s life as the “tragedy after the tragedy.” He writes, “…Perplexed, fearful of the future, swept by events out of their control, they did their best under the circumstances. The Spaffords in particular had to find a way to overcome crippling emotional wounds.”[i]
We are often drawn to others, like Spafford, who on the outside seem to be such stalwarts worthy of our admiration and imitation. Contemporary examples might identify as successful ministers, with no apparent cracks in their armor.
Reflecting on a recent tragic suicide of a seemingly successful pastor, one fellow minister posted, “In this generation, pastors are expected to be business savvy, Instagram quotable preaching celebrities, fully accessible, deeply spiritual, not too young, not too old, and if a pastor doesn’t quite measure up to someone’s expectation at any given moment, they are given a two out of five-star rating on Google. Wow!”[ii]
This standard is unfair to ministers who battle with keeping up the façade of perfection. In the ministry, many believe they need to be all things to everyone. This type of thinking is unbiblical and unhealthy. Consequently, ministers frequently hesitant to seek help with emotional issues. These unresolved issues eventually escalate with debilitating or destructive outcomes.
One such minister who fell victim to his unresolved stresses in his life described this escalation when he wrote, “Before we know it, we’ve fallen into the creek and feel trapped in the current. We are utterly overwhelmed and can see no way out, as a result, we begin grabbing on to anything we hope might pull us out of the current we’re caught up in, which often leads to greater problems instead of helping us.”[iii]
Consider these common characteristics within ministry which send pastors into this proverbial creek:
1. There are often no clear boundaries in the minister’s work. Thus, a minister must be intentional, consistent and clear in developing healthy boundaries. Realistically, no pastor can study enough, pray enough, visit enough. One of the major hindrances to emotional wholeness is a chronic feeling of anxiety about tasks still needing attention. When there are no boundaries, there will be no Sabbath. God’s commandment for observing the Sabbath should be respected intentionally.
2. A minister often lacks biblical criteria for measuring success. Most pastors will admit that their success gauge often comes down to people, pennies and praises. If a person is unclear of how to gauge biblical success, they most often attempt to build a smokescreen, similar to the frail old wizard of Oz hiding behind the curtain. This dual identity complicates the emotional health even more. “People who appear confident and charming on the outside, believe themselves to be weak and worthless. The sharply dressed pastor behind the pulpit may actually be obsessing over his failures. The woman singing on the choir may actually be thinking about ending her life.”[iv] Instead, we are called to be obedient, not popular, wealthy, or even comfortable.
3. The minister is often placed on a pedestal. The ministry provides a platform with high visibility, carrying with it high honor. While the message of Christ is unsurpassed, it is communicated through broken earthen vessels. It can be a very subtle temptation for a minister to take credit for the liberating power the Gospel imparts. Archibald Hart observed, “…few are tempted to become so vain so often as the preacher. But even more difficult for most ministers is the problem of living up to expectations… Often they are expected to be better than everyone else, more resilient to temptation and above reproach.”[v]
Emotional health in ministry is complex and personal. It is a physical, emotional and spiritual issue. It is physical in that the brain itself, like any other part of the body, can get sick and begin to malfunction. It is emotional in that our unmet emotional and relational needs can become the catalyst for depression. But from a spiritual perspective, we can wrestle with an enemy who is able to exploit our spiritual shortcomings. Most likely when we confront depression it is not one simple issue. It may not merely be a matter of taking a pill to deal with the physical issue, or seeing a counselor to address the emotional issue, or even praying a little harder. Respecting the value of each of these areas may be the key to maintaining emotional wellbeing. I wonder how often we find ourselves honing-in on only one of these areas or perhaps excluding any of them, only to find that we still have not witnessed God’s desired liberation for us.
Emotional health in ministry is complex and personal. It is a physical, emotional and spiritual issue. Respecting the value of each of these areas may be the key to maintaining emotional wellbeing.
Protect yourself against burnout, stress and depression. Seek to be your best self; physically, emotionally and spiritually. Do your best work but never live with the burden of an artificial identity. It is much healthier to try to live up to your true self at all times. The people we lead will likely welcome such reality in us; surely the Lord will be pleased that we have committed ourselves to celebrate the perfect work he has accomplished in you and me. “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.”[vi]

If you get paid 67 cents for every dollar it costs you to provide a service, how long before you go broke?
Ask Illinois hospitals. They have been struggling with the grim arithmetic of Medicaid for years. They shift some costs onto patients with insurance, raising their rates relentlessly, which increases health insurance premiums and costs to employers and, ultimately, consumer prices. They pay nurses inexcusably low salaries, aggravating a dangerous shortage. They may, covertly or openly, cut back on the number of Medicaid and uninsured patients they take.
But that doesn`t work for long. Fourteen Illinois hospitals have been forced to close in the last three years-10 of them in the Chicago area, almost all with a big load of Medicaid patients and a shortage of insured patients to whom some costs could be shifted. The closings are shoving more Medicaid and uninsured patients into other hospitals, pushing them closer to the brink of bankruptcy.
Why should Illinois expect the hospitals to risk their survival by paying them only 67 percent of their costs for Medicaid patients?
Ask Gov. Thompson. He`s proposed a new state budget with such a small increase in Medicaid payments that it will barely cover the costs of inflation, according to the Illinois Hospital Association. Illinois hospitals will continue to get about 67 percent of their actual costs for treating Medicaid patients. No other state in the nation picks up such a small percentage.
The hospital association also makes the reasonable plea that the state pay hospitals for Medicaid claims within 30 days; the state has been using excessive delays in payment to help balance its budget but has now caught up to about 35 days. The association also wants more coverage for women and children, an increase in ambulatory services and changes in limits on payments for trauma, burn and other specialty care.
But the hospitals, the governor said in effect in his budget proposal, are just too far back in the line of urgent problems requiring more money to get a bigger share of the anticipated revenue growth or a suggested cigarette tax. The new money, if it materializes, will have to go for schools, higher education, preschool for some high-risk children, mental patients who must be moved out of nursing homes by federal order and correctional facilities.
Why isn`t there any more money, when the state needs it so desperately for so many of its essential services? Ask Gov. Thompson. He decided not to make a strong push for a boost in the state income tax this year, after his earlier efforts got nowhere.
Better, ask House Speaker Michael Madigan. Three of the four state legislative leaders were ready to support Thompson`s income tax increase last year, but not His Speakership. And of course his obedient little ducklings in the House Democratic delegation lined up behind him, blocking any chance of paying for adequate, essential state services.
Ask Speaker Madigan how long he thinks hospitals can go on getting back 67 cents for every dollar Medicaid patients cost them. And ask him how many more hospitals the people of this state can do without.

By Jason Lange
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Joe Biden’s public approval rating fell to the lowest level of his presidency this week, a danger sign for his Democratic Party which risks losing control of Congress in the Nov. 8 elections, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll.
The national poll, conducted Feb. 2-3, found that 41% of U.S. adults approved of Biden’s performance in office, while 56% disapproved and the rest were not sure. The prior week’s poll had put Biden at a 45% approval rating and 50% disapproval.
Americans appear increasingly exhausted by the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic toll. About six in ten think the country is heading in the wrong direction, with the economy and public health most often cited as top concerns, the poll showed.
After holding above 50% in his first months in office, Biden’s popularity began dropping in mid-August as COVID-19 deaths surged across the country and the U.S.-backed Afghan government collapsed.
Democrats are increasingly worried that dissatisfaction with Biden’s presidency could cost them their congressional majorities. If Republicans take control of either the U.S. House of Representatives or Senate, Biden’s legislative agenda could be doomed.
Biden’s popularity remains above the lowest levels seen by his predecessor, Donald Trump, whose approval rating sank to as low as 33% in December 2017.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll is conducted online in English throughout the United States. The latest poll gathered responses from a total of 1,005 adults, including 443 Democrats and 377 Republicans. It has a credibility interval – a measure of precision – of 4 percentage points.

A football club in Burnley has hit out after its dugout was torched by gangs it says are plaguing the ground.
On Sunday night (October 11) members of Burnley Belvedere FC went out to find the bench seating which is attached to the dugout on fire and there had been attempt to start another at the back which had failed due to the structure being made of breeze block.
Club members say that they are facing the constant threat of vandalism from gangs of teenagers, who they claim are using drugs and intimidating the club's neighbours.
A spokesperson for Burnley Belvedere FC 1st Team said: "We deal with gangs every single evening. They're usually aged between 15-16 years of age and with some turning up on bikes.
"Every week we find discarded empty drug bags, drugs paraphernalia and cigarette ends. Now someone has tried to set fire to our dugouts but they failed to go up completely as they're made of breeze block. They cause problems for us and our neighbours continually. "
Members of the club have gone out to confront the gangs, but this has historically been unsuccessful. Club bosses say if the teens do agree to leave they usually turn up again a short while later.
The incidents have been reported to the police however this is the first time anything has been set alight.

I've read through many different threads and guides on this forum, all which have been extremely helpful, but I've gotten to a point where I'm just stuck, and I'm hoping someone can help.
I've got a Mini 10 (1010) with A11 BIOS.
I currently have OS X 10.6.3 running stably on it, but here's the problem:
I've had to remove the internal HDD and put it in a dock in order for OS X to recognize it. I installed the OS this way, and I can boot from the drive when it's connected with USB, but the minute I try and put it back inside the machine it won't boot.
I've already installed the AppleIntelPIIXATA kext with Kexthelper b7, but still no luck.
Would really appreciate any help on the issue. I feel like I'm so close.


Future BMW M x-Drive Set to Deliver Ultimate EV Dynamics
BMW M has let it slip that it is working on a new M x-Drive four-electric motor all-wheel drive system for its future electric M cars. The Bavarian carmaker’s performance division posted the YouTube video below confirming that it is currently road testing a vehicle with integrated vehicle dynamics control on the road.
Visual and Under the Skin Changes
The BMW i4 M50-based test unit clearly gains both visual and under the skin tweaks. The electric coupe’s wheel arches are flared, clearly to accommodate completely new front and rear axle designs. The car also adopts the M3 and M4’s highly torsional front body strut concept for best rigidity. The test unit retains the current production car’s gaping grille.
But it’s those under the skin changes that are the most intriguing here. Designed to achieve ultimate torque vectoring, BMW M x-Drive all-wheel drive comprises four electric motors, one on each wheel. Each motor has its own multi-plate clutch and differential and each is run by a central control unit.
M x-Drive CPU Works it All Out
The CPU considers throttle pedal position, steering angle, longitudinal and lateral acceleration and wheel speed. It analyzes all parameters in millisecond precision to calculate the ideal required power and torque outputs of each motor.
This allows the CPU to increase electric torque output on the rear wheel on the outside of the corner, in parallel with steering angle inputs. BMW M promises that its new four-electric motor all-wheel drive will push controlled handling limits, while also achieving significantly higher cornering speeds on wet, snowy and gravel roads.
M x-Drive Also Charges the Battery
The four electric motors also allow braking energy recuperation within the new drive concept. The motors invert to act as generators on braking, to feed the car’s high-voltage battery. The teaser video also suggests that the M x-Drive test car can perform a tank turn, although the stunt in the video appears to be a computer-generated sequence.
It is remains to be seen which future BMW M EVs gain this M x-Drive technology, but like existing petrol M models’ limited slip differentials and decouplable front differentials, we’d expect it to become a regular future M party trick.

For Whales, too
Every year, humans consume 70 million tons of seafood. Though this is an astonishing volume-one that has aserious impact on ocean populations-it cannot compare to sperm whales which consumer more than 100 million tons of seafood annually. Most of this consists of squid and small fish but-increasingly-plastic trash is making its way into the whales’ diet as well.
Sperm whales, specifically, have been identified as one of the most intelligent species in the ocean-if not on the planet. They posses the largest brains of any known animal-living or extinct-and use sounds and sonar to communicate with one another,organize into social groups, and evenidentify individuals by name.
The cosmopolitan species has found great success and managed to establish itself in all of the world’s oceans and many of the major seas. One of the keys to this success is their ability to dive deep below the surface-with some dropping nearly two miles-to find food. Even so, they have not been able to escape the scourge of ocean plastic pollution that has also impacted fish, turtles, and birds.
Though hunting of sperm whales has been regulated since just after WWII, threats like pollution continue to threaten the species. The problem with ocean plastic is twofold: First, the mass of trash takes up space in the animal’s stomach, reducing their ability to consume enough nutrients. In addition, the releases heavy metals and other toxins as it breaks down, creating a potentially deadly concentration of poison in the animal’s fat.
Researchers have identified sperm whales as one of the longest-living animal species on the planet, with individuals regularly surpassing 100 years. Still, the improper disposal of something that-to humans-is as trivial as a shopping bag or bottle cap threatens to not only shorten this long lifespan but erode the viability of the species as a whole.

Tesla appears ready to make cars in China, but the terms of the relationship are unclear
Tesla is about to make history as the first foreign automaker to build cars in China independently, without having to link up in a joint venture with a Chinese company and give away half its profits and much of its technological know-how as part of the bargain.
What’s not clear is whether Elon Musk’s company will have to strike other compromises — such as a battery-making partnership — as part of the deal.
Over the weekend, the Wall Street Journal reported that electric car maker Tesla and the government of Shanghai had “reached an agreement” to build an auto assembly plant there. The Shanghai government soon told Bloomberg that no agreement had yet been signed, however.
But it’s clear something big is in the works. “As we’ve said before,” Tesla commented, it is in talks with Shanghai and “we expect to more clearly define our plans for production in China by the end of the year.”
If an agreement is struck, it will be “precedent setting,” said Mark Wakefield, managing director at consulting firm AlixPartners. “It’s a big deal.”
Indeed, such an arrangement would break with the decades-long approach to foreign access to the huge and fast-growing Chinese motor vehicle market. China is the world’s largest car market, with almost 30 million passenger vehicles to be sold by the end of the year, compared with about 17 million in the U.S.
Ford, General Motors, Volkswagen and Nissan all have been required to enter into a 50-50 joint venture with a local Chinese automaker, in which profits are split and much of the technology developed by the foreign manufacturers is shared.
“Local partners for every other global manufacturer in China are pretty much dead weight for the joint ventures in that they bring nothing to the table while taking about half the profits on every vehicle sold,” said G.E. Anderson, a Taiwan-based consultant.
The foreign companies would certainly like a better deal, but they’ve been unwilling to make the tradeoff that Tesla is apparently prepared to accept: a 25% tariff on cars built in a China free-trade zone like the one near Shanghai — the same tariff applied to any company that exports a motor vehicle into China.
Analysts note that the luxury Tesla Model S and Model X cars now exported to China from the company’s sole assembly plant — in Fremont, Calif. — are saddled with the tariff anyway.
By doing away with shipping costs, by locally sourcing less expensive Chinese components, and by paying a Shanghai factory workforce far less than it would pay California workers, Tesla could reduce expenses and, if it needed to, reduce prices.
Tesla could also more cheaply export cars from China to Japan, South Korea and other markets in Asia, whose own tariffs are far less severe than China’s.
It’s unclear, though, whether the Tesla deal in the long run will truly alter the relationship between the carmaker and China. The joint ventures struck by the major automakers cover all powertrains, whether they use gasoline, diesel or electricity.
“What isn’t clear,” said Qian Xu, who runs AlixPartners’ China operation, “is where the batteries will come from. I think there’s another shoe yet to drop.”
Tesla makes electric car battery packs at a giant factory it owns and operates in Nevada. Battery packs are the heaviest and most expensive parts on an electric car. Analyst estimate the battery cost to Tesla ranges between $15,000 and $20,000 per vehicle.
Xu said battery provisions in the contract will show whether Tesla is giving up a little or a lot for the privilege of building cars in Shanghai.
Besides a concerted push by the Chinese government to spur development of electric cars, in an attempt to cut pollution and move into the leading ranks of worldwide auto manufacturers, China is also dedicated to a world-leading motor vehicle battery business.
Chinese leaders recently announced plans to ban new sales of cars that run primarily on fossil fuels by 2040 or sooner.
“If China is looking to reduce pollution, to get the industry to meet strict 2020 emission standards, and phase out internal combustion engines, it’s going to have to bring in someone like Tesla,” said Steve Man, Hong Kong-based auto analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence, which researches the market.
“The government wants to show the rest of the world that the government is really serious about the new-energy vehicle market,” said Xu — and meanwhile spur its own electric car makers into building vehicles with high-style looks that are fun to drive, which Tesla has achieved.
It’s also possible, Xu said, that Tesla will manufacture batteries in China to supply the cars it makes there. He noted that Panasonic, Tesla’s battery-cell provider in Nevada, recently opened a fabrication line outside of Shanghai to make the same kind of battery cells Tesla uses in the Model S and Model X.
However, Japan-owned Panasonic, like South Korea-owned battery cell makers LG and Samsung, has not been approved for the same government subsidies that China gives indigenous battery cell makers. That could mean higher costs for Tesla.
Another question for Tesla is where the capital to build the factory will come from. The company has been in startup mode for 14 years, has never earned an annual profit and relies on lenders and stock investors who buy into its long-term vision, which also includes battery storage cells and solar roofs for homes and businesses.
Meyers, a special correspondent, reported from Beijing.

From the rain of Japan, through threats of arrest for 'public indecency' in Canada, and a birthday tribute to her father in Detroit, this documentary follows Madonna on her 1990 'Blond Ambition' concert tour. Filmed in black and white, with the concert pieces in glittering MTV color, it is an intimate look at the work of the music performer, from a prayer circle with the dancers before each performance to bed games with the dance troupe afterwards.

Did You Know?
In the "Express Yourself" concert sequence, Madonna
says "All right, America! Do you believe in love?" This audio is overdubbed onto footage shot in Paris, where she does not wear the ponytail as in the Japan and USA stops. Madonna's live vocals for "Express Yourself" were also replaced with the album version and the song was edited down from the longer performance featured in the actual Blond Ambition tour. See more
Supposedly the live footage is filmed in the United States (she even greets the audience by saying 'Alright America do you believe in love' but they zoom out so far that you can't see her lips moving). In the United States Madonna was wearing the ponytail. In all the live footage she has curled hair. This means the show was actually filmed in Europe (according to the credits, it was in Paris). There are several references to the live footage being filmed in America, especially Like a Virgin in Toronto and Keep it Together (the technical problems) in Los Angeles, even though that footage was also filmed in Paris.

I got the moves baby. You got the LOTION.
All through the end credits Madonna and her dancers' voices are heard getting ready for bed and after the credits are done Madonna is shown saying, "I'm just gonna push this button and the camera's gonna go off now. Ok?" See more

While Nanzeen journeys along her path of self-realization, her sister, Hasina, rushes headlong at her life. Woven through the novel, Hasina's letters from Dhaka recount a world of overwhelming adversity. Shaped, yet not bound, by their landscapes and memories, both sisters struggle to dream, and live, beyond the rules prescribed for them.

"A humanely forgiving story about love...Brick Lane may be Ali's first novel, but it is written with a wisdom and skill that few other authors attain in a lifetime." (Sunday Times [London])
"Carefully observed and assured...its power residing in Ali's unsparing scrutiny of its hapless, hopeful protagonists." (Publishers Weekly)
"A splendid novel." (Atlantic Monthly)
"A sharp-witted tale...In Ali's subtle narration, Nazneen's mixture of traditionalism and adaptability, of acceptance and restlessness, emerges as a quiet strength." (The New Yorker)
This book follows the life of a young woman who leaves a Bangladesh village for a marraige in London. The drawing of her character is stunning. We are let into the tiny reflections of her days, the grace with which she tries to embrace what fate has given her, and an underlying questioning of whether those who struggle against their fate, or those who accept it are happier in the end. The story is thoughtful, sensitive, provocative, and endlessly insightful. There's no great action taking place most of the time, but instead we enter her inner world, perceptions of the new culture around her, her wonder at and care for her first child, the settling into life of the family, and the tensions that come in and out of their On top of it, the voice of the reader of the audio book is endearing, excellently depicting the tone of the character discussed, and nice to listen to.
I enjoyed this audiobook, though I admit the chapters that are letters from the sister in Bangladesh are sometimes hard to listen to because they are read as if translated by someone with limited English skills. It seems odd, but if the letters were read in perfect English, they would not sound authentic. The reader is quite good...reading with what sounds like a proper accent when needed. Her voice is pleasant and smooth.
The story is not as good as I had hoped, given was shortlisted for Booker Prize. The ending is just way too neat. And characters just disappear from the story, with very little explanation. Perhaps this is deliberate? Perhaps in immigrant life people do just disappear?
Anyway, a good listen and I'd recommend it.
Truly an amazing book and reading! Elizabeth Sastre's master of Punjabi and British accents bring this book to life - I have read the book but actually prefer this version. I will admit its difficult to get used to the accents in the first ten minutes, but once you are acclimated it creates a wonderful departure from the usual stuffy british narration found in so many of the audio books... Give it a try - you won't regret it!
I really enjoyed this story and the journey via the lives of the two sisters by way of their letters to each other. The author is a excellent story teller and the lady who narrated it is the best I have listened to to date! The narrator is very versatile and extremely talented. She moves between characters flawlessly and I was enchanted with her verse.
I had an opportunity to see the movie "Brick Lane" and most naturally it did not compare to the book. I can't wait to read the next one by Monica Ali. Good Job.
Longtime Audible enthusiast!
Great narrator, but so-so story. Elizabeth Sastre does a marvelous job of reading and switching accents. In particular when narrating the letters of the sister (with limited English skills) in Bangladesh, the accent was performed to perfection.
Other than that, I found the story to be no more exciting than a soap opera, relating the day to day challenges of immigrants in England.
Elizabeth Sastre is a wonderful narrator. She does an amazing job with the various accents, both british and Bangladeshi, and really made this book come alive (as much as possible). Unfortunately, I can't give the same high marks to the book itself. While I really appreciated the glimpse into the lives of Bangladeshi immigrants in London, I found the plot line dragged on and on and was at times, quite depressing to read. I can usually get through an audio book, even if it is something I might put down if I was ready a paper copy, but this one was a real challenge to get through...
I've been an audible listener for several years now. Brick Lane is one of the best titles I've listened to. The narrator's accent gives the book a wonderful authenticity. I was fascinated by the opportunity to witness the immigrant experience of Bangladeshi families in London. The characters were so real and so sympathetic. There's no "bad guy" in this book. Just real people and their life experiences. This is a book you will think about for a long time after you have finished listening to it. Don't miss it!
Story is bad but the narration is excellent. The story is actually too descriptive that every little thing that happens becomes its own chapter and the book becomes really boring.
This book was fantastic. I am so sad it is over. The writer captures so well the intimacies of family immigrant life and relationships, and the coming into being of a woman's mature self. Gorgeous writing infused with astute descriptions of inner and outer worlds. I would read anything by this author, and the narrator's style made the characters come alive and become dear to the listener, each in his or her own way. A beautiful rendering of humanness that is both true to life's lowness and draws near to an almost holy quality in the small moments and details. Great book - I highly recommend it!
"Interesting view of Bangladeshi life in inhospitable London.."
Great listen. A very interesting insight into the everyday life of a Bangladeshi woman brought to make a life in the East End of London. Tragic and funny by turns, with several threads cleverly interwoven, I found myself fascinated by this story, not the sort of tales I normally enjoy.

text: A while back I bought a Thundertron while goofing around with the Prime toyline and found he was of a new faction. I really enjoyed the idea of there being another faction, but it wasn't expanded on in that toyline. Going by what my collection is like now, however, I would like to compile a group of CHUG Star Seekers out of repurposes. Here's what I am looking for: - It doesn't matter what their original faction was but I would prefer them to be sinister looking and not too conspicuous in regards to their origin as another dude. - I'd like most to possess beast modes as inspired by Thundertron. Some more "alien" ones would be neat if possible. - I also thought of a "technoorganic" look for them to really help make them stand out from the other bots. - Not looking for specific characters, but a guy to repurpose as CHUG Thundertron would be nice to tie things together. - I would like to be able to find them for a relatively low price from a reputable seller. The low prices are probably not going to be particularly realistic all the time. I'm honestly no expert on this kind of thing, so I would like some tips. Who knows, maybe someone else will get inspired along the way?

All I want for Christmas is for the people I love to feel happiness in their heart, a spark in their soul, laughter on their lips, love in their eyes and never ending peace in their life. I grew up believing thoughts like this were far fetched, unattainable, airy-fairy. But how I was raised and what I know now are very different.
My life, my vibration, thoughts and actions belong to me and because they belong to me I can want whatever I want. I can want World peace, politicians who don’t lie, cheat or spend our hard earned money like it was nothing. I can want children who are raised in secure loving homes with food in their belly and a roof over their heads. I can want everyone to love one another, respect each other, appreciate each other and communicate effectively. I can want equality for all, abundance without ever feeling lack, sounds of laughter everywhere, and I can expect to receive it all.
I created my reality. My life purpose was pre-designed. I have a reason for everything I do.
Collectively we could have all the things I’ve listed above if, or when we choose it. If each of us stopped long enough to really get quiet with our soul awareness, listened to what it is wanting and let go of the limiting beliefs we were raised believing we could change the world. There is no reason we couldn’t have peace, joy and happiness.
Today though I choose to just want the people I know and love to experience and feel joy if for only Christmas day. I hope they have a spark ignited in their soul that brings smiles to their faces and laughter on their lips. I hope they stop to feel how much they are loved and appreciated. I hope they know I will always be there for them if they need me. That’s all I want for Christmas.
Merry Christmas my friends from me. If Christmas is not what you celebrate take no offence to my sentiments or beliefs. They belong to me and I allow you to have yours, whatever they may be. Love and peace to all!

Wind and solar PV have become the lowest-cost renewable alternatives and are expected to dominate the power supply matrix in many countries worldwide. However, wind and solar are inherently variable renewable energy sources (vRES) and their characteristics pose new challenges for power systems and for the transition to a renewable energy-based power supply. Using new options for the integration of high shares of vRES is therefore crucial. In order to assess these options, we model the expansion pathways of wind power and solar photovoltaics (solar PV) capacities and their impact on the renewable share in a case study for Germany. Therefore, a numerical optimization approach is applied on temporally resolved generation and consumption time series data to identify the most efficient and fastest capacity expansion pathways. In addition to conventional layouts of wind and solar PV, our model includes advanced, system-friendly technology layouts in combination with electric energy storage from existing pumped hydro storage as promising integration options. The results provide policy makers with useful insights for technology-specific capacity expansion as we identified potentials to reduce costs and infrastructural requirements in the form of power grids and electric energy storage, and to accelerate the transition to a fully renewable power sector.

The Mumbai police seized 2,200 vials of Remdesivir injection from the premises of two exporters located in Andheri and New Marine Lines area on Monday. Remdesivir is used to treat serious Covid-19 patients and has been in short supply in Maharashtra, leading to a political tug of war between the state and the Centre.
The Central government last week banned Remdesivir’s export till the time the domestic situation improves.
Deputy Commissioner of police (operation) Chaitanya Siriprolu said that teams from Mumbai Police and Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) jointly raided two locations in the city on Monday after learning that certain exporters were hiding stocks of the crucial drug despite a direction by the government to declare their stocks for domestic use.
At least 2,000 vials of the injection were recovered at one exporter’s location in Marol, Andheri East, which belongs to a pharmaceutical company. These 2,000 vials were taken into possession by FDA for use/distribution in hospitals, he said.
Another 200 vials of Remdesivir were recovered at another exporter’s location in the New Marine Lines area. These too were taken into possession by the FDA.
“These 2,200 Remdesivir vials were produced for export but were kept stocked by the exporters as there is a ban on the export of Remdesivir. FDA officials are following due procedure to make these vials available to hospitals,” said Siriprolu, a spokesperson for the Mumbai Police.

About 73% of 526 shoppers surveyed by IoT and mobile device management firm SOTI said they prefer retail self-service technologies.
That shoppers may be starting to prefer self-service retail technologies is not surprising, as more retailers have begun to embrace smart, mobile and automated checkout systems. Consumers are getting more experience with such options, and they like what they see. It makes sense, especially at moments when they want to get in and out of a store in a hurry, that they would choose self-service tools over engaging with another human.
That doesn’t necessarily mean they want human store associates to go the way of the dinosaurs, however. The increasing retailer use of mobile technology, (whether in the form of self-service tools or those in the hands of store associates), suggests that consumers perhaps just like the idea of technology infusing their entire shopping experience, from engagements with store staffers right on through the self-checkout line…[READ MORE]

Beaumont essential businesses adapt to coronavirus
About four weeks into lockdowns and public restrictions for most Texas cities and counties, the owners and staff of Southeast Texas establishments still operating as essential businesses are trying to maintain normality with different degrees of success.
For Dennis Williams, an owner of the Longhorn Liquor chain, keeping business as usual has been relatively easy, he said.
“Our foot traffic is still pretty normal in most stores these days and we still get our usual orders,” he said. “The people that are case-buyers year around are still case-buyers now.”
The one noticeable change, he said, is the empty spot on the shelves where the high-alcohol content grain liquor brands such as Everclear usually sit. Early on in preparations for the outbreak, pharmacies and everyday customers cleared out the supply at the Beaumont location on Dowlen Road to make hand sanitizer.
Because of how the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission structures distributorships in the state, Williams said, there is typically only one supply for most specialty products. For Everclear, that’s Southern Glazer’s Texas branch headquartered in Houston.
While other businesses have been forced to consider layoffs or furloughs, Williams said, Longhorn Liquor has largely been insulated from that fear because of its location planning.
“We’re so geographically diverse, we go from Mont Belvieu to Sam Rayburn,” he said. “We never gave that a thought.”
Despite the economic slowdown affecting other industries, Longhorn Liquor is still in expansion mode. The Mont Belvieu store opened about four weeks ago, and a Katy location is still under construction. Williams said there may even be a chance of a second Beaumont location sometime in the near future.
Beaumont and Jefferson County’s designations for essential businesses and meetings both were ordered in the last full week of March, providing guidance for everything from grocery stores to church services.
The initial order for Beaumont barred more than 10 people from the same group entering some stores and placed restrictions on how many people could be inside certain establishments at a time, but most of those orders have since been revised to be more strict.
The county’s current order specifies that only one person from a household should enter a grocery store at one time.
While some people are worried about social distancing or food and household goods, others have different concerns.
JJ’s Pawn Shop in Beaumont qualified to stay open because it is a financial institution, but it has seen a rush of demand for a variety of ammo from its gun section..
Khea Phillips, a manager at the shop, said JJ’s is still sold out of most of the “essential stuff” that is popular with hunters and target shooters, but one particular caliber is asked for the most.
“9 mm is one of the most popular calibers of ammo right now,” she said. “Everyone has different motivations, so it is difficult to guess what they are thinking, but I think that’s probably a sign that most people are thinking about defense.”
As manufacturers deal with a slog of large orders while struggling with whether to keep factories open, Phillips said deliveries have been severely delayed.
She said purchases of actual firearms haven’t changed much, but there was initial concerns about background checks as government offices shifted to deal with other pandemic-related business.
Since municipal orders began, JJ’s has remained open and ready for business as usual except for a shift in schedules to have more staff on hand during the week when the store sees the most customers.
Phillips said the newest rush for ammo was similar to scares that happen after a school shooting or proposed change in gun laws, but this was the first time she’s personally experienced a buying spree related to a disaster.
“In a hurricane or a flood, you usually get an expectation that things will come back quickly, that this is a boom town by nature,” she said. “With this situation, this is not something we’ve experienced.”
Businesses such as restaurants and bars have taken a big hit, with the former left to adjust to a new business model while the latter stays shuttered.
Popular date night and bar scene spots like J. Wilson’s in Beaumont have had to make a cultural adjustment, shifting toward meals and specials for the whole family now that their regulars are stuck at home.
Owner John Wilson said business has probably been reduced by about 60% while patrons are barred from dining in. He said state provisions allowing the sale of alcohol with pickup orders has had virtually no positive impact on sales.
But the time freed up from the daily preparation for multiple meal rushes has been put to use creating new specials each day, which seems to be playing well with J. Wilson’s fan base.
“The regulars and the people that built us up, they don’t want us to go anywhere and that’s a good feeling,” he said. “They’ll make sure you stick around.”
Wilson said he has mostly been able to maintain his staff through the shutdown and customers have been understanding of the situation, showing their generosity to servers who are experiencing diminished tips.
As the restaurant moves to adapt under the circumstances, Wilson is juggling the opening of a new restaurant at the former Green Light Americana location on Phelan Boulevard.
He said one of the biggest reliefs of the whole situation is that he didn’t open the new venture before the pandemic took hold in Southeast Texas. Now, he has some wiggle room to plan the best way to move forward, but he said he’s locked in to making the new restaurant concept boom for his community.
“I think the excitement could be even a little better once we get out of this,” he said. “There will be restaurants that won’t come out of this and I think people will be happy to see something open if this ends.”

A Container Garden
This is so easy! Everyone can have a fabulous garden, the type that people comment on when they’re visiting your home. “Wow! What a stunning place you have, and your plants are gorgeous!” Yes, you can have that reaction, even if you live in a small apartment.
It doesn’t take a lot of master gardening skills. One of the dirty (just because it involves soil) little secrets of the landscape professionals is infill. When something dies, fill in the empty space with a new plant. So if your garden has some losses, it is not a catastrophe. Just try to learn a little about why a plant died, and try to avoid the same mistake again.
Container gardens are great! They provide all the fun without most of the hassles experienced with in-the-ground gardening. You never get bored with a container garden, because the display gets changed out every few months for something completely new. In fact, the botanical gardens you delight in visiting are treated a lot like a container garden—a really big container garden. The displays are renewed every season. You can duplicate that at home.
The reason container gardening is so reliably successful is the soil medium is completely in your control. You don’t have to deal with heavy clay or nematodes or bad drainage. All you have to do is buy a bag of potting soil. It helps to amend the potting soil, but it is still far better than the challenges of typical, ordinary ground dirt. I like to mix in a lot of well-composted cow manure, which is a naturally mild fertilizer, but you can buy expensive soil mixes that include slow-release fertilizers and water-holding granules. The expense is relative, though. You only need a little to fill your containers, and the added convenience, especially if you are starting a new job and still going to school, is a definite plus.
If you buy the cheaper potting soil mix, it will not contain any fertilizer, which is the food for your plants. You can still go with this basic mix, but your plants will resent the lack of generosity and grow a lot less vigorously in revenge. There are a lot of cheap fertilizers out there. They usually have names like 10-10-10 or 13-13-13. Buy the expensive slow-release fertilizer instead. Again, the cost is relative, since you only need a little to fill your containers. The cheaper fertilizers leach out of the soil after the first watering. Your plants only get a brief sip of nourishment before it washes away into the watering tray below the pot and dries to a crusty white, out of reach of the roots. The expensive, slow-release fertilizers are pellets that degrade slowly over 4 to 6 months. You can see them in mixes as round, yellow pellets.
Another thing you can add to cheap potting soil is additional texture. You can add lightness with perlite and drainage with some kind of tiny stone or grit particles. This is not essential, but professional mixes usually include these little bits, which you can see as white Styrofoam-like pellets or actual grey gravel.
The very expensive mixes add water-absorbing gels. These are clear chunks of Jell-O-like space matter that shrink or swell, depending on how much water they have absorbed. They are not usually available as a retail product, since the tendency would be to mix them into soil in large chunks that would grow too large and ooze out of the top of the soil as they expand with moisture. The manufacturers of the water-saving mixes have figured a way to incorporate them homogeneously as small particles into their mixes. These jelly pieces absorb and hold water and then shrink as the water is released slowly into the surrounding dry soil. Since over-watering is the biggest cause of death in container plants, you don’t have to add this unless you are dedicated to prudence in your watering routine.
Mixing container soil is a messy business. Plan on it. Buy a tarp first.
You need to buy a container, too. You may be able to discover a found object to use as a container. Pinterest probably has lots of ideas for you. The classic has always been an old bathtub, but usually only something adorable like a claw-foot antique. The point is you need something to hold your garden. For success, the container needs to be big and have drainage holes. The container has to be really big! The second biggest cause of death in container plants is using small containers. Plants need room for roots to expand, and they need an ample amount of soil to carry nutrients to the roots. Here’s the weird thing…it is almost impossible to find a sufficiently-large container in a retail store. Professional landscape companies purchase huge containers through wholesale-only sources. Keep your eye out for nice, big containers that sometimes show up at Home Depot or Lowes garden departments. If they are the wrong color, you can always paint them.
Containers often come in terra cotta. It is a wonderful, inexpensive material, but don’t invest in large containers of it unless you are willing to bring them in for the winter. Terra cotta absorbs moisture and will split during strong cold snaps, even if they are empty. They are beautiful and classic, though. Decide if you think moving a large, two-ton container twice a year into your home is okay. If not, go with something that is frost-hardy for outdoors.
Make sure the drainage holes work. They won’t if you place your container on the ground and get a good seal, so you might want some decorative feet (or just some small tiles) to lift the pot slightly above ground. Place the container where water can drain, or put it above a giant saucer of some kind to keep the ground dry.
Now, for the fun part! Go out and buy all the plants you see that you like. Hold them next to each other to see if they create good combinations. Buy enough to fill your planter. Don’t limit yourself to a single plant type. Mix in different colors and textures. Try to include some spikey plants, some dripping plants, and some mounding shapes. Have a good time with this. You’ll become an expert on all the plants you incorporate into your container. You’re a garden designer!
