Framing and focusing are available through the other binocular eyepiece, or through the viewfinder of the digital camera. This capacitance varies depending how the devices are positiones, which means that the position of the probe cable will have an effect on the shape of the signals you see on the scope!
One side provides the mechanical Canon bayonet attachment, and the other the Topcon bayonet. Two additional holes in the flange provide passages through the adapter for features on the front of the camera, namely the focus-assist lamp and Fiber optic connector assembly essay microphone.
This adapter requires much in the way of precise mechanical improvisation since the instrument uses two simultaneous connections for electrical versus mechanical connection, as opposed to earlier Topcon models which tended to incorporate them into one connection.
The pins and housing for the electronic interface are a custom, precision design and assembly fitted to match the original dimensions. Too bad Nikon did not succeed in this business, and discontinued making slit lamps and retinal cameras in the early s. Both modes are desirable for various purposes.
This resonance is called a probe resonance and can cause considerable measurement errors. Lengths are 10mm and 14mm. On the right is the camera as modified by the attachment of the adapter.
SMA is also available as a keyed connector, used e. HFOCs are designed to withstand climatic conditions existing throughout the U. Such a camera at maximum telephoto zoom will not fill the photograph's vertical aspect with optical zoom only, requiring that a small extra digital zoom be applied.
The properties of Gaussian-response oscilloscopes are fairly well-taught and well-understood throughout the industry. This permits the adapter to pivot to the operator's right or left while still producing an upright digital image. Also they are known as "Square Top" due to the flat end face.
Rate this link Oscilloscopes Every scientist, engineer, and technician involved in any form of electronics has used an oscilloscope. If you're looking to buy a digital camera with hopes of photomicrography, look for one with a fixed, threaded turret, with the inside thread diameter significantly larger than the microscope eyepiece you hope to use.
After taking these specimen photos, I enlarged the 23mm bore to The cost of a small item like this by weight roughly equates to gold. This custom adapter mounts an Olympus C digital camera via the 55mm Olympus CLA-4 adapter tube to a cylindrical microscope eyepiece.
In Zeiss operating microscopes, the two optical paths constituting the left and right pair of stereo views are precisely aligned in parallel. The viewer allows you to rotate "orbit"pan and zoom the 3D model so you can see exactly what we are discussing.
The apparent size of the circular field of view in an endoscope eyepiece is typically only 7 degrees, versus about 40 or 45 degrees in a typical wide-field microscope eyepiece.
Scope displays of amplitude as a function of time provide intuitive and easily interpreted pictures of signals. More than a decade elapsed before the evolution of the necessary software standards, particularly SCPI standard commands for programmable instruments.
The cost for this modification work is only a fifth of the price of a new adapter with similar capabilities. The assembly is about 30mm 1. See additional photos from the Global-LoupeCam adapter here. On the eyetube you can see the tiny setscrew we have added to lock the camera adapter into the eyetube and to lock the rotation of the camera.

Just because he’s dating billionaire heiress Chloe Green, doesn’t mean Jeremy Meeks is rolling in dough!
The model’s estranged wife Melissa Meeks has been asking for child and spousal support after the “Hot Felon” filed for divorce in October. Now the 33-year-old runway walker is challenging his ex with his own legal docs!
According to papers obtained by TMZ, Jeremy claims Melissa is NOT entitled to spousal support because she is earning the same amount as she did during their marriage.
While he is willing to pay child support, he only wants to shell out the amount dictated in their child support schedule, which is up to $418 a month.
Contrary to the nurse’s claim that he makes $1 million each month, Jeremy says it’s more like $6,000.
The sexy convict also slams his ex for participating in “televised reconstructive surgeries” of her nose, bust, and vagina, notably the time she was filmed getting vaginal tightening in October. Yeah, we can’t believe that’s real either, but you can see for yourself (below):
Lastly, Jeremy wants Melissa to stop criticizing his relationship with the 26-year-old Topshop heiress, as it’s none of her business who he dates.
Geesh! So much drama!

We told you a little bit about it the other day, and how Jamie has created a petition and has written an open letter to governments around the globe — malnutrition and kids going hungry in this world IS NOT acceptable! Joining Jamie and Hugh are a slew of other fab celebs too, like: Gwyneth Paltrow, Elizabeth Olsen, Alyssa Milano, Michael Pollan, Cat Deeley, Ronan Keating and many more!
So badass! Here's what Jamie has to say:
"Food Revolution Day is all about people power. I was amazed and massively inspired by our first global day of action last year, when we managed to get over 1,000 events organised in 664 cities across the world. This year, the response has already been incredible. The Food Revolution has reached 75 countries, and we’re hearing about some really exciting plans for Food Revolution Day, which proves that the demand for better food education is a global phenomenon.
“For me, this is one day for us all to get together and shout about the importance of food education and the need to share and pass on food knowledge and cooking skills. This is an opportunity to build better relationships with great food, whether that’s through hosting a big event like a farmers’ market or a small dinner for your mates and cooking everything from scratch. It’s about giving people the knowledge and confidence to cook using fresh ingredients and to make better choices about what they feed themselves and their families.
“Join us this year on 17 May, and help us spread this really important message. Together, we can inspire real change."
Maybe we'll make some AMAZING headway this year! Let's hope!!
Good luck everyone — let's kick hunger's ass! Ha! Go HERE for more info!!
In case you haven't been following the past few days, the 86-year-old (as of today! HBD William!) has been using Twitter to encourage fans to vote for ANYONE except Nick.
And when asked why he's so adamant about getting the newly-engaged reality star off the dancing series, the celeb responded by saying, "He lives up to the homonym of his last name," and, "Leopards don't change their spots."

In an unprecedented move yet still completely in line with the values of their company as well as the current electronic music community, Mike Adams – the President and CEO of Moog Music Inc. – stopped by the factory yesterday for an important, yet unannounced meeting. Without skipping a beat, he commenced by revealing the following
“I called you all here to let you know I sold the company….the good news is I sold it to all of you.”
As of June 6th, Moog Music Inc. is thrilled to announce that moving forward they will be an employee owned company. Founded by Dr. Bob Moog – a family man who championed the synthesizer – Moog is an electronic musical instrument company that manifests tools that demonstrate an artists talent and creativity in infinite directions, not to mention – they’re responsible for Asheville’s famed Moog Fest.
“The employees at Moog Music Inc. are what make this company successful,” said Adams. “I feel the best way to recognize their passion and hard work is to give them ownership.”
Said Dr. Ileana Grams-Moog, Dr. Moog’s widow, “Bob and I consulted an expert in worker-owned businesses in 2001, but weren’t able to make employee ownership at Moog a reality. Bob would be thrilled that Mike Adams realized this shared dream 14 years later.”

Senator James Sanders Jr. Calls on Three Los Angeles City Council Members to Resign After Racist Comments
Senator James Sanders said: “As elected officials we are held to a higher standard because we have chosen a life of public service and therefore set an example for others. Under those conditions, I am outraged over the disgusting racist remarks made by now-former Los Angeles City Council president Nury Martinez.
Her October 2021 conversation with her colleagues Council Members Kevin de León and Gil Cedillo was caught on tape and just made public recently, prompting many leaders including President Biden, to call for their resignations. I am in agreement with that. I don’t think anyone in public office should have used the kind of language that Martinez used and since de León and Cedillo failed to intervene they are equally guilty. They should have told her not to use those slurs, that it was wrong and offensive, but they remained silent.
I also think they owe an apology to Councilman Mike Bonin for the insults they made about his 2-year-old Black adopted son. Martinez called the child “ese changuito," which translates from Spanish to English as "that little monkey." Martinez also made angry and blundering comments about how Los Angeles should be shaped concerning redistricting.
For this trio of uncouth so-called leaders the course should be public apologies and then resignations. Period. It’s unconscionable to think that right wing Trump / MAGA supporters would feel any other way, but they tend to support this type of behavior.”

ABU DHABI // Six graffiti artists from the UK were at Yas Island yesterday to demonstrate in an "organised way" how graffiti can be both artistic and useful. The six, including the famous British graffitist Inkie, came together to draw a picture of Abu Dhabi.
The painting includes six words, "leave your mark on Yas Island", and includes typical elements of the expanding city of Abu Dhabi.
The painting, which will take five days to complete, shows sand underneath the buildings on the island to depict the history of the area.
"We tried to showcase as much different diversity of the city as possible," Inkie said.
The painting showcase sand dunes from the left, a teenager wearing Emirati dress with a falcon on his shoulder, children wearing hip hop hats, architecture from Abu Dhabi and finally scenes from Ferrari World Abu Dhabi.
Thorayya Button, a British education officer who lives in Abu Dhabi, said she had never been interested in graffiti art until yesterday when she was taught the technique.
"Their moves are elegant and fluid," she said.
"I have never done it before and I now can't stop. It's addictive."

When we are comparing ourselves, we are often comparing our insides to someone else's outsides. This can lead down a path of misdirection. We oftern do not see what others struggle with and what their lives are truly like. Also when we compare with ourselves and how we used to be or how our parents were, we can also lead ourselves down a path of frustration.
With the tools of Mind Body Bridging, you can learn to feel more of an inner calm when you are feeling less than someone else from comparison. I was able to sit down with Jessica Dahlquist of the Extraordinary Mom's Podcast and talk with her about these tools.
I have created a Free outline to go with the episode as well to help you continue to walk through these tools on a regular basis. Click here to download the freebie.

One part of Asaf Avidan, the Israeli songwriter who gave a solo concert on Friday night at Irving Plaza, is a lot like Leonard Cohen: the Leonard Cohen who sings delicately fingerpicked songs full of finely calibrated metaphors, aphoristic phrases, paradoxes and mournful romance. “I said, Baby you are magic/ She said, No, hon, just a trick,” he sang in “Anchor.”
But his vocal range is octaves above Mr. Cohen’s bass, in the androgynous zone of altos and countertenors. And he’s far from Mr. Cohen’s reserve. As his voice climbs he gives it a ragged, bluesy edge, yowling or wailing, even shrieking at the right moment, to infuse his songs with riveting drama. In that he’s like Robert Plant, the Led Zeppelin singer who exults in the acrobatic extremes of the blues. Mr. Avidan even has a hard-strumming blues, “Hangwoman,” that could be a sequel to Led Zeppelin’s “Gallows Pole.”
Yet another part of Mr. Avidan is the kind of cabaret entertainer who intersperses his songs with storytelling set pieces. He compared a love affair he started as a teenager to the upheavals of tectonic plates, going on to explain how its breakup caused him to write his first songs.
Later — after saying that he is not religious but explores the Bible as literature — he told the story of David and Bathsheba at twice the length of his song reimagining it, “Out in the Cold.”
From 2006 to 2011, Mr. Avidan had a folk-rock backup band, the Mojos, and his 2012 solo album, “Different Pulses,” uses elaborate studio productions. But he has also performed widely on his own, and his timing is well honed. His set moved between introspection and full-tilt belting; he teased out some songs with instrumental and spoken interludes to make the final choruses even heartier. (He was geared for a crowd that hangs on every detail; at Irving Plaza, the audience was divided between the chatty and the attentive.)
Midway through the set, he turned to a looping device that allowed him to layer percussion, guitar, vocals — and for one song, a kazoo — setting up a beat that let him push his vocals even further, particularly in the primal, two-chord “I Want You to Die.”
From his early blunt breakup songs to his more recent, more imagistic ones, Mr. Avidan leans toward the melancholy. A new song, “Tunnels,” compared humanity to moles in endless tunnels and advised, “Don’t try to love yourself again/ That is the worst kind of pain.”
During his encores, Mr. Avidan joked about how many “very depressing songs” he had sung. But his “One Day/Reckoning Song,” which became a hit across Europe in a dance remix by Wankelmut, both wallowed in postbreakup regrets and turned them into a buoyant singalong chorus anyway: “One day, baby, we’ll be old/ Oh baby, we’ll be old and think of all the stories that we could have told.”

BALTIMORE - A highly contagious viral illness has been detected in Baltimore County in the last two weeks.
Three cases of Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD) have been diagnosed by Doctors Express of Timonium. The illness affects children under 5, but can impact older children and adults.
The disease is characterized by sores in the mouth and a rash on the hands and feet. Children can be exposed to the disease at daycare centers because it is spread by close person-to-person contact.
There isn’t a specific treatment for HFMD, but to lower your risk you should wash your hands frequently, clean and disinfect surface. Also avoid close contact with anyone who has the disease.
Over 50 Cambodian children have died from a recent outbreak of HFMD according to the Centers for Disease Control .

At one time the people of England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales who joined the Church longed to gather to Zion. They paid a terrible price in dealing with it. Hundreds of them, thousands of them died on that long march from the Missouri River to the Valley of the Great Salt Lake. You do not have to do that anymore. You can live in comfort in your native land and build Zion here. This can become your Zion in a very real sense (Hinckley, 1997, p. 726).
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints of today is–for the most part–a global church. This represents a shift in focus from being “the Great Basin Kingdom” to a worldwide Zion that could be, as President Hinckley put it, “in your native land.” Developments during the mid-to-late 20th century resulted in a need to redefine the way Mormons understood and worked towards Zion. Among the changes that took place was a change in the gathering doctrine.
1) The Gathering and International Growth
The gathering had been a central teaching of the Church during the 1800s as missionaries told converts to flee Babylon or the world and come to Zion—wherever Church headquarters was at the time. For the first half of the twentieth century, the doctrine of gathering continued to be both an official and unofficial belief while being semi-officially discouraged. By the mid-twentieth century it had become a burden to growth rather than an impetus. As historian Alexander Thomas observed, “As long as Church members believed they should gather to Zion as a place of refuge against the tribulation prior to Christ’s Second Coming, membership outside the American West would remain small and would be drawn principally from the lower ranks of society” (Alexander 245). Change was needed to help the Church soar to new heights.
The prophet who led the charge in internationalizing the Church was David O. McKay. Realizing that certain blessings were unavailable to members living outside of the United States, he began to work to extend every blessing possible to these faithful Saints. Foremost among these blessings were the blessings of the temple. Before the early 1950s, temples were only constructed in western North America and Hawaii. In April of 1952, President McKay noted to the Quorum of the Twelve that,
For years it has been recommended that the branches in Great Britain and Europe be strengthened, but… members of the Church in those lands when they get the spirit of the Gospel realize the importance of temple work and notwithstanding some of them held good positions, they have given those positions up and have come here in order to go through the temple (Prince and Wright 365).
Soon, efforts were made to construct temples on a more worldwide basis. Not long after becoming president of the Church, President McKay received a recommendation from Stayner Richards—the president of the British mission—to purchase property for a temple near London. The matter was discussed and approved by the First Presidency. A month after that, President McKay proposed the construction of a second temple on the European continent. Switzerland was suggested, despite a low membership, because it was “probably the safest country in Europe, and more accessible than England to most of the other European countries” (Prince and Wright 261). In early 1953, he also mentioned the idea of a temple in New Zealand.
After returning from a trip to select sites for the European temples, President McKay publically announced the rational for the construction of these temples in an Improvement Era article:
One of the steps which will contribute to the stability and growth of the Church in Europe is the decision to build temples to provide ordinances and blessings which have never before been made available in Europe. . . . For some time it has been felt that many of the recent emigrants from Europe, especially among the older age groups, would have been happier had they had a temple in Europe whereby they could perform the sacred ordinances for themselves and for their kindred dead, rather than to have to come to America for this privilege. There has been some concern too, to give these good people the endowment in their native tongue (Prince and Wright 262).
The construction of temples was used as an official reason to discourage gathering to Utah. In 1953, the First Presidency directed foreign mission presidents to discourage emigration, stating that: “It is the present intention of the Church to… provide temples throughout the world that the members may remain in the areas and yet have the opportunity to receive the blessings of the temple ordinances” (Prince and Wright 366). Other general authorities began to use temples to encourage Saints to stay at home. For example, Apostle Spencer W. Kimball used the temples to encourage members in Norway and England to remain in their homelands, telling them that the temples in Bern and London represented some sense of permanence and that the full program of the Church was available to them in their own backyard (Kimball and Kimball 289, 377).
Later presidents of the Church continued the push for more temples worldwide, most notably Gordon B. Hinckley. As a part of his program to insure that all members of the Church had “the ultimate which this Church as to give,” President Hinckley implemented the construction of small temples all over the world (Church, 2001, p. 642). It is largely due to his efforts that there are 169 temples throughout the world either in operation, under construction, or announced.
Other factors were at play in the immigration of Saints to the United States. Members abroad were often sparse in population and were concerned about their children being able to marry in the Church. One British mission president observed that he thought that this concern “probably… motivated them as much as any other single thing, because all their schooling and their associations were with non-members, and in that situation it was natural that they would marry out of the Church” (Prince and Wright 367).
In addition, stake organizations were non-existence outside of North America. Stakes marked a level of maturity in an area—both numerically and in leadership ability. Where stakes were lacking, wards and branches were usually run by missionaries and were generally a part of a mission directed by a mission presidents called from Church headquarters in Utah. Stakes were generally run by local members instead. Patriarchal blessings—a blessing given by revelation through an ordained patriarch to an individual, declaring their lineage in the house of Israel and giving personal counsel (Church, 2004, p. 111)—were not available outside of stake organizations at the time, with the exception of visits from the Patriarch to the Church. Although the patriarch—Elder Eldredge G. Smith—traveled the world to give blessings to areas such as the South Pacific (Weaver), such trips were not common enough to meet the needs of the thousands of members scattered across the globe.
One other struggle for members abroad was finding locations to hold meetings. Even though the earliest chapel the Church owned had been in England, by the early 20th century, the Church had no standing meetinghouses in the British Isles. Instead the scattered branches met in rented halls—often in deplorable conditions. Conditions elsewhere outside of the U.S. were similar—during the 1920s, meetings in Copenhagen, Denmark were held in the back of a saloon too large for the number of members left in the area. Members in Adelaide, Australia had to construct their own chapel. One description of meeting places in France during the 1950s characterized them by stating, “The best we can find to rent is one room, usually in some sort of mediocre club hall in a basement or upstairs, and in a not very desirable part of town” (Prince and Wright, 200-201). These conditions not only discouraged members, but turned away converts. As one mission president stated, “President Joseph F. Smith forty years ago or more said that a good chapel is worth twenty full-time missionaries as a proselyter. I think it’s more than that, in my experience. And in France, we don’t have them” (Prince and Wright, 200).
Again, President McKay took steps to rectify the situation. The Great Depression had crippled prior efforts in the building department of the Church, but when David O. McKay became president in the post-war era, there was the opportunity to build. In one press conference three weeks after he became president, McKay “told reporters that the focus of the Mormon Church today is upon building” (Prince and Wright 202). And build they did: meeting houses, temples, mission homes, and even stake centers were constructed all across the globe, sometimes reaching the point that it was sucking in more of the Church’s funds than they had meant to give to the projects. However, the construction of buildings lifted the image of the Church throughout the world and helped strengthen its presence as a worldwide Church (see Prince and Wright 199-226).
An increased missionary effort combined with the end of the gathering to the American West resulted in rapid, worldwide expansion for the LDS Church. The lowering of age of acceptance into the field for full-time missionaries in 1960 and 2012 plus President Spencer W. Kimball’s decision to emphasize missionary service as a responsibility of all worthy male members resulted in an increased number of missionaries at work, leading to more converts in more places (Allen and Leonard 629). In addition, extending the priesthood to all worthy members, “without regard for race or color” in 1978 allowed phenomenal growth in Africa and South America that would not have been possible otherwise (D&C:Official Declaration 2; Allen and Leonard 633-639).
The Church was becoming an increasingly international Church and efforts were made to adjust to this shift in population. Hymns such as “Think Not When You Gather to Zion” and the Utah state anthem (“Land of the Mountains High” or “Utah, We Love Thee”) were cut out of the 1985 hymnbook and teaching manuals were steered away from being America-specific in their cultural focus to handling general gospel principles that could be applied universally. This was not always easy, as cultures vary considerably across the world. For example, one manual encouraged husbands to kiss their wives every time they left home. While that is perfectly acceptable and even expected in the US, displays of affection were not as acceptable in Japan. If a Japanese husband, trying to be a faithful Saint and live what he was taught, kissed his wife while leaving for work the day after the lesson was taught, their children might ask the father why he was biting his mother (Allen and Leonard 646). Other similar mistakes and miscommunications occurred as the Church dealt with the growing pains of becoming a truly international organization.
As a result of all these efforts, today there are over 3,000 stakes with almost 15 million members worldwide , and only 13.2% of all Church membership living in Utah, with only 42% in the United States (“Facts and Statistics”)—a substantial change from the 1800s when all Church members were encouraged to move to Utah and the surrounding region.
2) Change in Doctrines
Abandoning the concept of the Gathering and the concept of creating a utopian Zion community had left discussion of these principles in a somewhat uncomfortable place. Rather than discarding the doctrines of gathering and of Zion, however, they were ultimately reinterpreted to more figurative ideals. David O. McKay’s son recalled that, “[Father] preached that Zion was not so much a matter of geography as it was a matter of principle and feeling, that the Spirit of God is within you. He preached that people should stay where they are. The gathering place was no longer Missouri or Utah” (cited in Prince and Wright 366). Further official clarification of the modified doctrines came in the early 1970’s. In 1971, at the first regional conference in England, regional representative Derek A. Cuthbert stated, “There is no longer a need for British Church members to leave their homeland to partake of the blessings of Church membership” (Quoted in Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 2001, pp. 575-76). A similar conference was held in Mexico City the next year. At this conference, Elder Bruce R. McConkie taught the spiritualized idea of gathering that was becoming the predominant understanding of this doctrine in the Church:
The place of gathering for the Mexican Saints is in Mexico; the place of gathering for the Guatemalan Saints is in Guatemala; the place of gathering for the Brazilian Saints is in Brazil; and so it goes throughout the length and breadth of the whole earth. Japan is for the Japanese; Korea is for the Koreans; Australia is for the Australians; every nation is the gathering place for its own people (Quoted in Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 2001, p. 576).
These statements mark an official shift in doctrine that ended the idea of gathering to a physical location of Zion. Prior efforts to discourage emigration to the American West were done with an unspoken reluctance to discard the belief that Utah was the Zion. Now, things had changed—Zion was officially no longer a specific location, but a worldwide effort centered on the Church, families, and individuals. The future gathering to the designated Zion in Missouri was (and is) still a part of the Mormon millennial plan (See Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 2009, p. 255; Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 2004, pp. 189-190), but anywhere the Church has stakes and temples, or even exists, can be a gathering place for the Saints.
Early presidents of the Church made statements that gave the more recent leaders a precedent to work with in redefining Zion. Joseph Smith stated that, “Anyplace where the Saints gather is Zion, which every righteous man will build up for a place of safety for his children” (Smith 186). President Brigham Young likewise said, “Where is Zion? Where the organization of the Church of God is. And may it dwell spiritually in every heart; and may we so live as to enjoy the spirit of Zion always!” (Young 111). Both of these important leaders had an expansive vision of Zion: Joseph once said that, “This Church will fill North and South America—it will fill the world” (Smith 137), while Brigham stated that, “Zion will extend, eventually, all over this earth. There will be no nook or corner upon the earth but what will be in Zion. It will all be Zion” (Young 111). With these statements in mind, the shift in talking about gathering to Zion as an individual gathering into the Church and into righteousness was not a new idea in the Church, but rather an emphasis on different aspects of the Zion the early Saints had spoken of.
In this globalized, yet personal version of the ideal, Zion has been emphasized as being “the pure in heart” (See Moses 7:18; D&C 97:21), and functions as an inspiration for personal purity. In September 2012, for example, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland stated:
In these last days, in this our dispensation… Zion would be everywhere—wherever the Church is. And with that change—one of the mighty changes of the last days—we no longer think of Zion as where we are going to live; we think of it as how we are going to live.
He went on to explain a figurative fleeing of spiritual Babylon (wickedness) to enter Zion—righteousness and purity (Holland). Most other general conference addresses of the last fifty years that speak of Zion follow a similar pattern of using Zion as a term to encourage personal purity and serving the poor.
Elder Holland’s comments also hint at the adaptation of the gathering doctrine to modern society. One current Church manual goes further, stating that:
God gathers His children through missionary work. As a people come to a knowledge of Jesus Christ, receiving covenants, they become ‘the children of the covenant’… The Israelites are to be gathered spiritually first and then physically. They are gathered spiritually as they join the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and make and keep sacred covenants (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 2009, pp. 247-48).
In this way, the Church organization has become the focus of the gathering doctrine. Elder D. Todd Christofferson said, “Today the Lord’s people are gathering ‘out from among the nations’ as they gather into the congregations and stakes of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that are scattered throughout the nations” (Christofferson 37). Temples are a part of this gathering function of the Church as faithful members travel to these sacred, exclusive spaces to enter the highest ordinances of the Church. In doing so, they become “covenant people” by making covenants to live many of the ideals governing the utopian Zion concepts of the past. To fit the needs of the time, today the focus of Zion is on the Church as a spiritual institution rather than a specific geographical location.
As for the utopian United Order of Law of Consecration that was associated with the early attempts at building Zion, some effort has been made to connect the welfare program of the Church to this idea. Founded during the days of the Great Depression, the welfare program was designed to “care for the needy while teaching principals that will allow need persons to become self-reliant and retain their self-respect.” Generally, funds are donated by Church members and are used to purchase and distribute food and other necessary items and to offer training and employment opportunities to those in need (“Welfare and Self Reliance”). President Henry B. Eyring stated that,
Our Heavenly Father hears the prayers of His children across the earth pleading for food to eat, for clothes to cover their bodies, and for the dignity that would come from being able to provide for themselves. Those pleas have reached Him since He placed men and women on the earth….
His way of helping has at times been called living the law of consecration. In another period His way was called the united order. In our time it is called the Church welfare program.
The names and the details of operation are changed to fit the needs and conditions of people. But always the Lord’s way to help those in temporal need requires people who out of love have consecrated themselves and what they have to God and to His work (Eyering).
The doctrines associated with the Mormon idea of Zion have shifted in their emphases to fit the needs of an international Church. The doctrine of the law of consecration or the united order has been tied to the welfare program. The gathering is a spiritual gathering into the Church rather than a literal gathering to a physical location. Zion itself is a holy people rather than a holy city—the pure in heart rather than a New Jerusalem for the time being. Most of the original, physical interpretations of the Mormon Zion seem to have been deemphasized and are viewed as future events for now while the Church deals with the situation of the here and now.
Zion is a concept that has held widespread appeal in Christianity for centuries. Generally, it is used as an abstraction to represent a heavenly people or project. Inspired by the Enoch text, Joseph Smith took the idea a step further and attempted to create an actual heavenly city on earth. The term was expanded to allow for outposts to the holy city, called stakes. After church leadership passed to Brigham Young, the church moved to the Great Basin and sought to create a series of Zion colonies as a kingdom of God in the American west. When intense social pressures necessitated change, the Church entered an era of transition that resulted in a reshaping of the Zion ideal. The physical gathering gradually ground to a halt and was finally officially abandoned while utopian community ideal became represented in families, church association, and individual purity and righteousness. While an extensive history of attempts at creating ideal societies and hopes of a millennial Zion in Jackson County, Missouri are used as inspiration and direction for Latter-day Saints to be righteous—giving the Zion a uniquely Mormon flavor—the general use of the term today has come full circle, returning the quest to capture the Holy City to the abstraction it was at the beginning of LDS history.

[…] Capturing the Holy City, Part IV […]
[…] This will be placed on the blog as a series of posts covering four phases of the idea of gathering to Zion in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints: The Joseph Smith era, the Pioneer Era, Mormonism in Transition, and Modern Mormonism. […]
[…] The very nature and emphasis of Church obligations began to shift during the era of 1890-1930 from the more temporal construction of the Kingdom of God to spiritual wellbeing and individual righteousness. The Church as a whole began to withdraw from economics and politics, abandoning important principles that had helped to shape the very idea of Zion they had attempted to practice in times past. The gathering of Saints to Utah and the Intermountain West ground to a halt as circumstances became increasingly difficult for allowing immigration. These changes resulted in a need to redefine their understanding of sacred space, placing focus on the temples, the Word of Wisdom, and righteousness in the home as ways to serve God and be a “peculiar people” instead of the creation of a commonwealth of Saints. Many of these changes were practical in nature due to circumstances and laid the foundation of a new understanding of the concept of Zion, however, they were not entirely resolved doctrinally: that would be something that would take place later.

Children with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) are at an increased risk of critical illness. In this study, we described the clinical characteristics of critically ill children with HLH and identify factors associated with poor clinical outcomes. Children who were diagnosed with HLH with emergent admission to Children’s Intensive Care Unit (CICU) between January 1, 2000 and October 31, 2015 were included. The primary outcome was CICU mortality. Over the 15-year period, there were 14 critically ill patients with HLH with 23 CICU admissions. Median age at HLH diagnosis was 8.2 years (interquartile range [IQR], 2.9 to 11.3). Overall CICU mortality was 8 of 23 CICU admissions (34.8%). Factors that were associated with CICU mortality in critically ill children with HLH identified in this study include: a worse median pediatric index of mortality 2 score (4.7% in survivors [IQR, 2.9% to 11.6%] vs. 2.4% [IQR, 1.2% to 4.3%]; P=0.031); higher median peak serum lactate level (mmol/L) within 24 hours of admission (5.6 [IQR, 2.7 to 17.4] vs. 1.6 [IQR, 1.2 to 2.8]; P=0.032); the need for mechanical ventilation (100% vs. 46.7%; P=0.019); inotropic support (87.5% vs. 20.0%; P=0.006); renal replacement therapy (50% vs. 0%; P=0.008); and blood product transfusion episodes (24.5 [IQR, 14.3 to 46.8] vs. 3.0 [IQR, 1.0 to 9.0]; P=0.002). Further studies are required to validate the factors that are associated with poor outcomes in critically ill children with HLH.

The Eden Woolley House serves as the headquarters of the Ocean Township Historical Museum. Built by original settlers in 1697, the home was one of the first properties sold in Ocean Township. In 1849, Eden Woolley became the Township’s first elected councilman. The home also represents the evolution of Monmouth County farms of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries into gentleman farms of the twentieth century.
Today, the Eden Woolley House is one of the few remaining eighteenth-century structures in Ocean. The museum offers exhibits on the history of coastal Monmouth County and a full calendar of events. Visitors can utilize the museum’s library and archive, which houses manuscripts, books, and photographs of historical and genealogical interest.

It will entail 500 silver foil cylinders suspended from the ceiling of the first floor gallery that participants will mark with their thoughts, wishes or memories.
Here are some of our team getting things ready for the silver dream that will be created on the 18th of May.
On Friday the 8th of March, Globe Gallery will host the 52nd performance of Anniversary –An Act of Memory, a series of solo, collective and multilingual recitations from memory of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Artist Monica Ross performed the first recitation in 2008 to mark the 60th anniversary of the Declaration. Since then her project has expanded phenomenally; over the years, hundreds of people from around the world have lent their voices to this celebration ...
This work of Gerald Laing from 2005 (inspired by a photo of an American
soldier) describes with a touch of pop art and a subtle irony "The
new American tourist." In the foreground a silhouette of a soldier
holding a camera, in the background the flames of a burning building,
scenes that were part of everyday life for many years in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The artist complains of the cruelty expressed by the U.S. soldiers,
this meaning is also fully enclosed in the title of another work in... Continue reading...

Paula, what is up with your fingerless black gloves?!?! I’m opposed.
I was writhing in agony…. It’s painful. I’m cringing… you know it’s bad when I am totally focusing on listening to the backup singers more. You were all over the place, pitch-wise. It was shouty, it was awful. “I give you credit and brave” is what Paula says… I say, I give you a big fat plane ticket home. That was terrible, and Simon couldn’t have been wrong-er.
And what’s up with the stupid “my voice went bye bye” cutsie thing…
She may as well have been saying, “where’s my binky!”
When this guy sits down with his guitar and sings, he does one of two things, either he transports us to a new world, or he just goes there himself without really taking us along.
It was as ‘just fine’ performance, but he totally went to that other world tonight without taking us there with him. I think that’s the difference between the ‘chum with a guitar in the subway’ (as simon would say) and a real artist.
With performances like this you will make it into the top 5 or so, but unless you do something else, you are sunk soon.
Oh, and be careful, you’re teetering on pulling an Amanda… not visibly caring enough on TV about what happens in the competition.
In spite of you being engaged now you are still my WOOMAN, and this was an awesome performance. So engaging and beautifully executed. It wasn’t quite the breakout moment as David’s “Imagine”, but it was brilliant!
I am totally upset at the judges for their less than glowing comments on this one. I thought it was one of your best performances since Hollywood week, and they were just lukewarm on it. GRRRR…
She really doesn’t deserve a video, but I went ahead and made one anyway, cause I was so excited for her to finally do really well, and ticked at the judges for not acknowledging it… (I’ve been waiting for this!)
[flashvideo filename=video/ai-syesha.flv /]
I am now official fans of the EZE Family! His parents are awesome.
“Chickezie is like smooth milk chocolate!” TLB says. I think I agree.
I loved it. I couldn’t disagree more with those judges (again). I thought this was a great moment for him. I don’t think he picked up a lot of new fans with the song, but it was MUCH better than they gave him credit for.
With every step you take… I’m watching you Brooke White. You are just lovely and blonde.
I thought it was good, aside from forgetting your first pitch. 🙂 I thought your playing the piano didn’t add a whole lot to the song, and you would have sold it better up on your feet.
Oh, and I love how you went to a totally black outfit tonight after last week’s SUNSHINE EXTRAVAGANZA! (maybe a slight overcorrection… but oh well)
Well, I will say that this is much better than his past 3-5 weeks. He did leave it out there, but it still didn’t quite do it for me. I didn’t think he should have started with We Will Rock You. The transition was awkward, and he couldn’t hit the high notes in the middle. I’m not convinced. It seemed like a great, fun choice, a real crowd pleaser, but nothing I would go out and buy a CD over.
Man… she sang the devil out of that song. I thought the arrangement was bad, it didn’t back up what she was throwing down out there. It was slightly forgettable for me.
Whats up with Randy’s little fits tonight? Somebody put a quarter in him, cause he’s coming out with all kinds of opinions tonight!
The little Archuleta siblings dancing their Mexican dance was freaking amazing.
Too bad I can’t say the same about Little Davy’s song tonight. Being the only one with the liberty to pick a song from the 90’s, I would expect that he would have picked a MUCH better song. The beginning was shaky… really shaky for me… He sold it by the end, though (in spite of the bouncing up and down all over the stage) He moves almost as awkwardly as me.
Two weeks with terrible song choices does not bode well for America’s favorite 17 year old.
I’m going to say it since Simon didn’t get a chance to: this is exactly what I would have heard at any local state fair!
HOWEVER – It was probably the smartest song choice a contestant in her position has ever made on American Idol. The judges and audience can’t pan the song, and likewise they can’t pan the singer. She now has the entire southern and ‘heartland’ vote tonight. Smart cookie, even if the song was a cheesy, karaoke version of the original.
So if Kristy Lee Cook is the BAD COOK on American Idol this year, then David Cook is the GOOD Cook. In fact, he’s like the gourmet five star executive chef! Bringing together flavors and memorable entrees for weeks now!
It was stunning. It was brilliant. I had to watch it over and over and over again. Then we watched it yet again even. Brilliant.
With David’s performance tonight, he has cracked my upper echelon of American Idol contestants this year. Previously this position was only held by David A (who has been slipping lately). David Cook is gaining solid ground in my top 2.
This one deserves a video: (only the 2nd video yet)
[flashvideo filename=video/ai-davidcook.flv /]
And now for predictions:
TLB: Ramiele, Kristy, Jason C
Braun: Ramiele, Kristy, Carly
WhiteEyebrows: Ramiele, Chickezie, Kristy
Who Should Go (We all agree): (umm… i don’t know… anyone who pouts a lot and has a comb over… or who says “bye bye” a lot)
Who Will Go (Brauns): Ramiele
Who Will Go (WhiteEyebrows): Kristy (she’s got to be sick of hanging out in the bottom 3 every week… put her out of her misery already, America!)


Speaking Up for Our Rural Communities
Supporting Oregon’s farmers and ranchers
Too often, burdensome red tape stands in the way of getting back to growing good jobs in Oregon’s rural communities. That’s why I’ve strongly supported efforts in the House to push back against unnecessary federal overreach, such as voting to stop the EPA from potentially regulating everything from stock ponds to irrigation ditches under the new Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule. And after hearing the strong local opposition to the proposed Owyhee Canyonlands national monument, I worked hard to pass legislation to prohibit the President from unilaterally locking up 2.5 million acres of land in Malheur County. I will continue to fight for commonsense solutions to improve the lives of rural Oregonians.
Ensuring multiple use for our public lands
Many of our families, including my own, have enjoyed camping, hunting, fishing, and other outdoor activities on our public lands for generations, and I want that tradition to continue for generations to come. But in Oregon and across the West, it seems that access is continually being restricted as federal land managers propose to close roads and otherwise limit use. That’s why I’ve introduced legislation in Congress to put local communities back in the driver’s seat of federal land management decisions. Local communities are most affected by the decision on the public lands that surround them, their input should be at the forefront of the decision making process.
Preventing a sage grouse listing
Across the Northwest, we’ve seen the negative impacts to forested communities caused by placing the spotted owl on the Endangered Species List. A listing of the sage grouse threatens to do the same to eastern Oregon and across the West, where grazing, mining, and outdoor recreation play an integral role in local economies. Ranchers need more certainty than a promise from a federal agency that the sage grouse won’t be listed, and so I’ve long supported legislation to prevent a listing under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), and empower states to manage the species more locally.

Greg Walden Statement on the Bipartisan Budget Act
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- U.S. Rep. Greg Walden (R-Hood River) released the following statement on the Bipartisan Budget Act:
Greg Walden leads hearing on connecting rural America with broadband
Stresses importance of bridging the “digital divide” and improving broadband connectivity in Oregon
CONNECTION TO CONGRESS: Precisely the change Oregon needed out of Washington
Whether it was in meetings with teachers, farmers or foresters, for the last several years the constant refrain centered on too many rules and regulations coming out of Washington, D.C. In short, Washington had gotten too big and cost too much. From how and when to test students in the classroom to unattainable stubble height on the range, people were fed up with the Washington-knows-best attitude.

The leaders of two Kansas City business organizations on Thursday applauded a bill that would end the economic development border war in the Kansas City area.
Senate Bill 635 was prefiled Wednesday by state Sen. Ryan Silvey, R-Kansas City, and co-sponsored by state Sen. Jason Holsman, D-Kansas City. Under the proposed legislation, businesses moving from Douglas, Johnson, Miami or Wyandotte counties in Kansas to Cass, Clay, Jackson or Platte counties in Missouri would be unable to receive certain economic development incentives. The measure must be reciprocated by Kansas before it would go into effect.
"This is an important step toward finally bringing an end to the so-called Border War between two halves of our one regional community," Roshann Parris, chair of the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce and CEO of Parris Communications Inc., said in a release. "Resolution of this critical issue is at the top of the Chamber's 2014 legislative agendas for both Missouri and Kansas. We look forward to putting our shoulders to this effort as we work with legislators in both states to make this happen."
Greg Graves, a past chair of the chamber and CEO of Burns & McDonnell, concurred.
"This is a great initial step in a long overdue resolution," Graves said in a release. "Senator Silvey and Senator Holsman have come forth with a very common sense solution to a complex problem. With their leadership and the unwavering support of the Greater Kansas City Chamber, (which) has been behind this from day one, I am confident both Missouri and Kansas can finally put this practice in the past and move forward as a region."
Don Hall Jr., chair of the Civic Council of Greater Kansas City and CEO of Hallmark Cards Inc., said he is pleased that Silvey will be leading the effort in the Missouri General Assembly.
"This legislation will provide the pathway for Missouri and Kansas to join together in controlling this wasteful spending," Hall said in a release. "For too long our efforts have been directed at shuffling existing jobs, not growing new jobs. We hope this legislation will encourage more regional cooperation and less regional competition."
A study by the Hall Family Foundation earlier this year showed that $212 million in tax revenue had been forgiven by the two states since 2009 to attract existing metro jobs across the state line. To date, 3,289 jobs have relocated from Jackson County to Johnson or Wyandotte Counties at a cost to Kansas of $140 million. Meanwhile, 2,824 jobs have moved from these counties in Kansas to Jackson County at a cost of $72 million.
This calculates to a net gain of 465 jobs to Kansas. Each of those jobs cost Kansas taxpayers $301,000.
EDITOR'S NOTEBOOK: With 'border war' truce, something is better than nothing
"Our hope is that we can deploy those incentives to attract 'real' new jobs from outside the region," Parris said in a release. "That would be the game-changer for Greater Kansas City."

Reuters: Tata Motors (TAMO.NS) is upgrading the starter motor of all old Nano models to the one installed in its new 2012 edition, launched in November, a spokesman said on Monday.
The replacement being offered to all customers, free of cost, was not due to any safety concerns, he said.
A starter motor is an electric motor which helps in rotating an internal combustion engine to initiate the engine’s operation under its own power.
The Financial Chronicle newspaper on Monday reported that the cost borne by company on about 145,000 Nanos sold till date could be around 1.1 billion rupees.
The spokesman did not divulge the cost that the company will bear on this account, saying it was “immaterial”. The four-seater car, which is the world’s cheapest, costs as little as 140,000 rupees, and was launched in a blaze of publicity in price-sensitive India.
In November, Tata offered Nano owners the option to install safety protection in their vehicles after local media reported that seven cars had caught fire. The carmaker then said it was not a recall as the fires were specific to the units.

From the FUV Vault: Phoebe Snow
Dennis Elsas chooses Phoebe Snow as one of his favorite FUV Sessions.
Phoebe Snow arrived on the music scene with her debut album in 1974, which contained the haunting song “Poetry Man.” Her beautiful voice was matched with impeccable production from Phil Ramone, and the song’s mysterious lyrics helped to establish her as a major new artist.
Though she never achieved another commercial hit quite as big, her stature as a musical performer and personality continued to grow. Everybody loved Phoebe and welcomed her to the stage and airwaves when she chose to perform.
It was a choice that wasn’t always easy for Phoebe. Her career often took a backseat to caring for her daughter Valerie, who was born in December 1975 with severe brain damage. Phoebe was determined to be her primary caregiver and continued to do that until Valerie’s death in March, 2007.
In October, 2007 she was just beginning to resume her career with a series of shows at New York’s Birdland club. I welcomed her to WFUV, joking that she could use our Studio A as a rehearsal stage as long as we could listen in. Phoebe was in great spirits, superb voice, and shared some wonderful stories with me -- including finally revealing exactly who that “Poetry Man” was.
Sadly, Phoebe passed away April 26, 2011, but her beautiful voice lives on in the wonderful recordings she left us, and in this very memorable studio session.

CHARLESTON – A Kanawha County woman is suing Kroger after she claims it is responsible for a collision that caused her injuries.
Kroger Dedicated Logistics Co.; Ruan Transport Corporation; Ruan Transportation Management Systems Inc. and Cedric D. Allen were also named as defendants in the suit.
On July 31, Andrea C. Smith was traveling in a 2003 Subaru Legacy and was lawfully and properly stopped on U.S. 119 near Lucado Road in Charleston when Allen, who was operating a 2014 Freightliner Fleet Truck Tractor Trailer rear-ended Smith, according to a complaint filed in Kanawha Circuit Court.
Smith claims Kroger and Ruan were the owners of the freightliner that Allen was operating.
Allen failed to maintain control of the vehicle and failed to keep a proper lookout, was following too closely and struck Smith’s vehicle, causing damages.
The defendants’ actions caused Smith to be severely injured, according to the suit.
Smith claims Allen was working within the scope of his employment with Kroger at the time of the collision and Kroger was responsible for its employees’ actions.
The defendants were negligent and caused Smith’s damages, according to the suit.
Smith is seeking compensatory and punitive damages with pre- and post-judgment interest. She is being represented by Douglas A. Spencer of C. Michael Bee of Hill, Peterson, Carper, Bee & Deitzler PLLC; and Mark A. Hunt of Mark A. Hunt & Associates PLLC.
The case is assigned to Circuit Judge James C. Stucky.
Kanawha Circuit Court case number: 16-C-224

No word of a lie Ari (Artemis Skye McNeil) is one of the most organic soulful people that you will ever have the honour of meeting. Aside from being an overly talented and creative poet, she also designs an air of soulful proportions within her art pieces. I mean, this beautiful creature takes the time to organise crafty bundles of beautiful blank books, Keys Series, Heavy Mettle or even Mermaid Tales. What she has managed to do is to create little pieces of one’s soul placed in an elegant keep sake. And of course, her love and appreciation for Oscar Wilde makes me appreciate her more. For more information on Ari you can check out her website and give her a follow-on Instagram.
RMMW: When did you first realise you wanted to be a writer?
ASM: The love of words has been a part of me since elementary school. I fell in love with Scrabble when I was first introduced to it around 8 or 9 years old. I have also found short stories and prose of mine from the 4th grade.
RMMW: What is the fist book that made you cry?
ASM: Little Women. Jo and Amy touched my heart.
RMMW: Have you ever been creatively blocked and if so, how did you overcome the block?
ASM: Actually no. I’ve never encountered “writer’s block”. I have walked away for periods of time
over the years to clear my head and get new perspective, but my mind is always churning.
RMMW: Do you have any artists rituals before starting a new piece?
ASM: No. I wish I did! I’ll leave the rituals to Rafael Nadal. Lol
RMMW: Do you feel a big ego hurts or helps writers?
ASM: I have a quote in my book, “Never let your ego get bigger than your talent.” I believe humility is a much more beneficial catalyst to writing. I also believe I am the minority in this. To each his own.
RMMW: Who is your favourite Author?
ASM: Oh goodness that’s like asking “What’s your favorite song?” It depends on the genre, era, language, mood. Hmmm. Stumped.
RMMW: How many unpublished and half-finished books do you have?
RMMW: What is your favourite genre to write in?
ASM: I love free flow rhythmic verse with a play on words. A lot of my poetry has a deeper
meaning than what’s on the surface that I bury within the word play.
RMMW: Please tell us a little bit about your Mermaid Tales endeavour.
ASM: Mermaid Tales was the first collection of poetry. I started that about seven years ago. It’s about strong women who have learned to adapt and not only overcome but thrive even after some harrowing experiences or challenges in life.
These women are inspirations that we can all learn from.
Some of it is in my current book. But the stories have expanded over the years from some very motivational women that are true heroes.
I have a collection of “Mermaid Girl” items from journals and framed poetry. Hopefully I will be expanding into jewelry soon.
ASM: Oh, thank you and yes, my home and business are filled with my creative ideas.
And I take a moment to thank my family and all those in my life that support me through each one. But I must say that it’s my debut book “Her Wilde Heart” that’s the most memorable because it has so many layers, from Oscar Wilde quotes to my photography. It includes Classic poetry, thoughts in life and “witticisms”. I formatted so that the reader could write along with me if they were so inspired. It’s not just a book but a true keepsake.
RMMW: Please tell us about the merchandise you sell with your books, from what I understand you create everything on demand by yourself?
ASM: All of my poetry comes in merchandise form that becomes a beautiful display in the home and usable. From the “Keys of Love” collection comes beautiful prescriptive poetry on tags attached to keys and decorative books that can be used in many ways. My “Heavy Mettle” collection comes on metal art work. My “Mermaid Tales” collection comes with a hand drawn mermaid tail with each poem and a really really adorable mermaid pendant. My “Poetry on a Bottle” collection comes on hand decorated wine bottles (empty or full). 😉
ASM: Yes, I read all book reviews. I can thankfully say that they have all been very positive. But I believe that I would welcome all reviews so that I could grow from different tastes or perspectives. I would really love to pick that person’s mind if it ever happened. Lol
RMMW: If you had a super power what would it be?
ASM: Ooh! I think invisibility. Can you imagine the scoops and info you’d get?
