Accutane is “magic” pills used for the acne treatment. This drug has unique characteristics, and nowadays it does not have analogues. It contains Isotretinoin, a structural analogue of vitamin A. As it has analogical structure to vitamin A, the therapeutic characteristics are similar.
One of the main factors of the acne formation is an excessive activity of the oil glands. Accutane lowers the production of the fatty secretion and prevents the pore clogging.
The use of Accutane makes a sebaceous secretion softer due to which it is not accumulated in the sebaceous channels and is easily removed. It helps to clean the skin of the closed comedones (blackheads) and prevent the development of new acne.
The activity of bacteria and inflammatory processes are reduced in the upper layers of epidermis during cleaned pores and reduced production of sebum. Pores are closed, and sebum is not kept there, so that skin becomes healthier.
Accutane is effective during the severest forms of acne when neither antibiotics, nor cosmetic products help to clean the skin. In case of the light form of acne, this medicine is not used because a risk of the development of the side effect is high during the use of Accutane.
The indications for the use of Accutane are the following skin diseases: nodulocystic acne, acne conglobata, closed and open comedones, etc.
The pills of Accutane are taken once per day at the same time. A decision about the treatment should be made by a doctor who will consider a medical image of the disease and will prescribe a correct dose.
It is considered that the optimal dose of Accutane may be prescribed according to the formula 0,5 mg per 1 kg of the body weight. If a patient weighs 70 kg, the daily dose will be 35 mg of Accutane. But in some cases (during severe forms of acne with the affection of a great part of the face and body skin), a higher dose of Accutane 1 mg per 1 kg of the body weight will be used.
The first results of the treatment usually appear in 2-3 weeks, and a complete remission of acne happens in 12-20 weeks of the treatment. Accutane may be used for not more than 5 months at a run. Before beginning a new cycle of the treatment, it is necessary to make a break for 2-3 months.
The use of Accutane is often accompanied by the unpleasant side effects: dry skin, dry mucous membranes, sweating, headache, nausea, lack of energy, pain in muscles and joints.
The side effects may be reduced by means of the reductions of the daily dose. The symptoms of acne may become stronger in the first 1-2 weeks, and more rash may occur; this is completely normal. | 2019-04-24T06:24:49 | http://premier-pharmacy.com/product/accutane/ |
One of our key fire safety suppliers is Briton, a renowned manufacturer of quality door closers. The Briton overhead door closer range provides door closing solutions to suit all projects, door applications and budgets. From the simplicity of a mechanical non-fire door closer for basic functionality, to a microprocessor controlled low energy operator for special applications e.g for doors required to satisfy Part M of the Building Regulations, there are Briton products to meet your needs.
The Briton 121CE compact overhead door closer is suitable for the most popular door sizes. It has all the characteristics of performance, durability, functionality and quality that specifiers and users have come to expect from a Briton door control.
The Briton 1100 series trimplate closers are designed to provide a mid-range product with choice of the most popular options, in a concise, cost effective package.
The 2000 series offers adjustable and fixed power sizes providing a comprehensive package of solutions to suit the most popular door sizes.
The Briton 2003V was designed to help you meet the requirements of BS8300:2001 for DDA use, it has variable power allowing easy on-site adjustment to meet both access and fire requirements. As well as making access easier for all users, it has all the benefits you have come to expect from the Briton 2003 – reliability, ease of installation and full certification. Further enhancements have been made for this upgrade and the Briton 2003V features both adjustable back check and the award winning Accufit installation system as standard. A closer will only perform correctly if it is fitted correctly, so ensuring accurate installation is essential to meeting the requirements of any legislation.
A recent addition to the range is the Briton 2700 series, a precision manufactured cam-action slide channel closer, in a compact, overhead, surface fixed unit. Providing exceptional ease of use by reducing the resistance encountered when opening the door, the Briton 2700 Series bridges the gap between the requirements for fire and smoke control and ease of operation required for accessibility. As with the 2003V the 2700 door closer comes with the Accufit installation system to ensure correct fitting.
Linked to the building’s alarm system, electromagnetic door controls eliminate the illegal practice of wedging doors open. This dangerous practice prevents a fire door functioning as it should in stopping the spread of flames and smoke in the event of a fire.
The Briton 996 Series is a range of fixed power closers with an integrated electromagnetic hold open mechanism. When connected to the building fire alarm or detection system each unit can be set to either ‘hold-open’ or ‘swing-free’ operation. In either case the power of the closer can be temporarily disabled to allow free passage. When de-activated, the electromagnet disengages and the door closer closes the door in the normal manner to maintain fire safety.
The new Briton 1130B.TE has been designed to hold the door open during normal use whilst connected to the building fire alarm or smoke detection system having an electromagnet in the slide track. On sounding of the fire alarm, or in the event of a power failure, the electromagnet will be deactivated and the door will close in the normal controlled manner. | 2019-04-19T18:51:19 | https://www.budget-fire.co.uk/blog/?tag=briton-121 |

Worrying about your chimney is stressful, but we’re here to help solve your needs with quality customer care! Scheduling an appointment is the first step in addressing your concerns, whether you have a leaky chimney, need masonry repair, or even want a general chimney inspection.
The first step in scheduling an appointment is filling out basic information through our online form. This provides us a reference point, when we call you to get into specifics about your needs. It is a straightforward process from there, once we get in touch with you we can move closer to solving any chimney problems you have.
With that said, an online form can only provide so much information. In order to provide the best quality customer service and experience in the region, we need your help.
These are five appointment tips that you can use to ensure that we provide you a maximum return on investment. By taking initiative as a fireplace or chimney owner, you’re taking a shortcut to a faster and more efficient service.
If you are scheduling an annual inspection or sweeping, keep in mind that the best time for maintenance is in the spring & summer. During the colder months, we are often booked out far in advance and working to be there for our customers during emergencies. Scheduling routine maintenance in the “off-season” allows us to offer prompter, more flexible service.
Speaking of maintenance, it is a wise decision to let us know immediately if you suspect that there may be damage to your chimney or feel there might be a problem with it. Sometimes animals or pests take up residence in it if you don’t have a chimney cap to protect it. Or maybe you have a leaky chimney that drips down into your living room, causing water damage. Whatever the case, let us know when you suspect. After all, you deserve to have peace of mind. Save yourself headache and financial heartbreak by contacting us ASAP.
To attain your peace of mind, it helps our professional team and technicians when you provide specific details about your problem. There is nothing wrong with being unsure about the situation – after all we’re the professionals – but it goes a long way when you describe characteristics about your concern. For example, you can say: “I’ve noticed that there are drafts coming in from my fireplace, I think that the hot air may be escaping” or “I suspect that there are raccoon’s or birds in my chimney”. These descriptions of your concerns are specific and concise, writing down your fears ahead of time helps us to troubleshoot and prepare a solution to your chimney problem.
Savvy chimney and fireplace owners will likely have a few dates set in advance for chimney inspection and have specific concerns at hand. To fully implement a successful chimney inspection strategy though, chimney and fireplace owners are encouraged to prepare their home accordingly.
If we are to service your fireplace, please discontinue use at least 24 hours before our arrival and remove the ash from the ashbox. We also ask that you move any precious items or breakables from the 5-6 foot area surrounding the appliance being serviced. This will help guarantee that our technicians can get right to work safely and quickly.
You are our key partner in addressing your chimney or fireplace needs. We attribute our 30-year track record of success to collaboration with homeowners like you. Are you ready to take the next step in solving your chimney needs? Schedule an appointment today! | 2019-04-24T10:07:58 | https://oldetownsweep.com/blog/ |
Do you know the feeling of finally getting your hands on a book that you’ve wanted for a long time?
About six months ago I wandered into my local, enormous, largely impersonal book vendor (who for free-marketing sake will remain nameless) and asked if they carried the graphic novel The Pride of Baghdad. Of course they didn’t, but they probably could order it in. I didn’t want to go through the trouble of handing out all of my personal information one more time, so I said no thanks.
Today, after sauntering in to spend a gift card, I noticed it on a wall of other graphic novels. I snatched it up and can’t wait to read it. | 2019-04-22T12:48:51 | https://aggrodude.wordpress.com/tag/books/ |
You may list more or less than ten, but please share your favorite manga with us. If you would like to update your list, then just quote your previous one for a quicker and easier comparison.
I'll list my top five to start off.
I could only manage to fit five titles into my list, and even right now I'm not that confident in the ordering of these titles. The more I read, the more I'll be able to fill in here, so look out for titles like Kiichi!! showing up soon.
Alright....I too like Lydia have far too many to list. I'll list the first favorites that come to mind. The first 3 are my true #'s 1-3 but after that no particular order is there.
I don't know if I've read enough to have a top 10 list.
I only read six manga! So I will list them. In order of preference.
Well since ya wanna say you read so much manga I expect you to assist Aya in making the Manga section flourish. So get cracking missy.

Long ago there was much talk amongst us of making the actual ANN manga section grow like mad, but that was also when I ended up "quitting the internet". But, I'll do what I can to make it boom on both forums! I just need to finish my application to Japan first, so give me a couple weeks, and then it's ON!
Not a Jellyfish wrote: But, I'll do what I can to make it boom on both forums! I just need to finish my application to Japan first, so give me a couple weeks, and then it's ON!
Oh it's ON eh? Well BRING IT!
Why do I have to be the only one who reads so much manga on here??
Well, I used to read a lot more till I got to college. Then I starting watching more anime. You've reminded me of how far behind I probably am with some of the releases I've been keeping up with.
Let's see... What do I have still lying around my apartment: Gunm - Last Order, Ah! Megami-sami, NHK ni Yokoso!, Akira, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Gunsmith Cats (which will likely be unloaded at Book Off in the near future), Ghost in the Shell (English and Japanese), Dominion and a pile of flotsam. The titles I've listed in italics are series I've purchased the Japanese tankoubon of.
Glad I could remind you of manga. Hehehe. When I started college it was actually the anime that went and the manga that increased. Oppostie for me.
Uh... that was way more than 10. Oh well. I have a lot of manga. | 2019-04-23T16:17:38 | http://www.theanimealley.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=50&p=5678 |

A new study says sleep trackers might be making you sleep poorly. Here's what that really means.
A New Study Says Sleep Trackers Might Be Making You Sleep Poorly. Here’s What That Really Means.
Long gone are the days of having to calculate how many hours of sleep you got last night. Between fitness trackers, downloadable apps, and the health kits that come on our smartphones, pretty much everyone in the modern world has access to sleep data—how long they slept, and how well—right at their fingertips.
But could all that data actually make your sleep worse? That’s the implication from a new study published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine.
Researchers at Rush University highlighted three case studies from their sleep lab, including a 39-year-old man who bought a sleep tracker after having trouble getting a good night’s sleep. As soon as he began checking the tracker on his goal of logging at least eight hours of sleep every night, though, he actually started to felt worse than before he had the facts at his fingertips.
Similarly, a 27-year-old woman complained of feeling “unrefreshed” after waking up from what her device said was a poor night’s sleep, but, once in a laboratory setting separated from her tracker, she actually sleep soundly and in a state of deep sleep.
Baron readily admits trackers are certainly not all bad. And for healthy sleepers, trackers can indeed help raise awareness about sleep, says Jessica Payne, Ph.D., associate professor of psychology who runs the Sleep, Stress, and Memory Lab at the University of Notre Dame, who wasn’t involved in the study. “Just like if you learn that, at the end of the day, you’ve only walked 5000 steps, finding that you’ve only slept five or six hours can motivate you to do better the next day,” Payne explains.
It’s when people start obsessing over the data that trackers become counterproductive. And even though this study was small, highlighting only three case studies, but both experts say this anxiety from data is a pattern they see in their clinical practice and research.
The problem is this: When armed with the most detailed data on your sleep, you start stressing about not getting enough shuteye, which intensifies what Payne calls the “sleep, stress snowball”—the more stressed you are, the less or more poorly you sleep. In turn, the more sleep deprived you are, the more stress your brain and body is under. “That’s a powerful negative association that can be difficult to unlearn,” Payne adds.
What’s more, your sleep is controlled by homeostatic sleep pressure, Baron explains, which basically says the longer you’re awake, the sleepier you are. Contrarily, the longer someone spends in bed attempting to snooze (which often happens with insomniacs), the more people have difficulty falling asleep, the more frequently they wake up, and the harder of a time they have getting back to dreamland.
If you love your tracker, we’re certainly not saying toss it aside. After all, we hear countless stories about guys who didn’t realize they were in that health- and hormone-compromising zone of under six hours a night until they started checking a tracker.
But take sleep data with a grain of salt, because, in reality, it’s not steadfastly reliable. “I’ve tried most trackers and wear one myself,” Baron says. “I find the data to be motivating for my sleep and steps—they just aren’t very accurate about measuring sleep.” She’s seen trackers err by up to 45 minutes when compared to lab measurements.
It’s really the focus on a specific number that’s most often at blame for sleep trackers screwing with people’s sleep, Baron says. “Don’t fixate on making it perfect each day—instead, look for the overall trend toward a consistent sleep schedule,” she says. | 2019-04-25T12:10:48 | https://www.mensjournal.com/gear/new-study-says-sleep-trackers-might-be-making-you-sleep-poorly-heres-what-really/ |
With such a vast architectural, historical and cultural heritage, India has much to offer travellers, however the process of obtaining an Indian tourist visa has, until now, been considered a formidable task.
Martin Randall Travel, along with many others in the travel industry, has welcomed the news of the extension of the e-visa to British citizens, which will make obtaining an Indian visa simpler, quicker and less expensive.
Visitors from countries all over the globe including Australia, Canada, the USA and, since 15th August 2015, the UK can now apply for the e-visa which costs £39 plus a small administration fee, and apply, pay and upload documents online. The visa can be applied for 30 days in advance of entry and is valid for a stay of up to 30 days, but cannot be extended.
James Palmer, Operations Executive for our India tours, says “This is a very encouraging development for British nationals travelling to India. It is no longer necessary to surrender one's passport before departure or go through the tedious process of queuing at a visa centre”. | 2019-04-19T06:54:31 | https://www.martinrandall.com/indian-evisa-extended-to-uk-nationals |

For years, Sumiko has provided the market with wonderful sounding cartridges. With moving magnet designs, as well as low and high output moving coils, Sumiko has a solution for just about anyone's needs. At the top of their line lies the flagship Palo Santos Presentation. To say that it's a departure for them is an understatement. Sure, the body looks similar to the Celebration II, but that's where the similarities end. The Palo Santos has by far the smoothest sound of any Sumiko cartridge I've heard. The details in the music are present, but never overbearing. Bass is round, and highs are gentle. The midrange blooms like a rose, and vocals are immediate. Until now, Sumiko cartridges have been known for being bright and lively, if a little tipped up. The Palo Santos is the exact opposite, offering one of the more romantic sounds on the market today. This cartridge is truly for music lovers. | 2019-04-21T00:38:54 | https://www.needledoctor.com/Sumiko-Palo-Santos-Presentation-Phono-Cartridge |

The e-commerce giant’s love affair with brick-and-mortar continues with a new store concept, Amazon 4-Star.
The store, which opened its doors Thursday in Soho, is similar to Amazon Books, but with a range of products besides books stocked on its shelves–all of which must have a rating of at least 4 stars by Amazon customers, Forbes reported.
Kitchen appliances, home gadgets, devices and electronics, toys and games–the store is stocked with popular items most people are likely to buy. | 2019-04-21T22:15:47 | https://therealdeal.com/2018/09/30/amazon-opens-new-brick-and-mortar-concept-store-in-soho/ |
Jan Schwartz is co-founder of Education and Training Solutions, a web-based e-learning company that produces online courses for those in the health and wellness fields. She has worked in education since 1988.
I went to massage school to learn more about anatomy. I was a pretty active person and wanted to know more about how my body worked, but I had had enough of college and wanted a more fun way to learn. As it turns out, I also loved learning about massage and how it helps the body heal in certain ways. My background was in education and training so I did gravitate towards education after I was two years out of school. I was able to combine the two careers and I became an instructor and then an education director.
I was fortunate in that the owner of the school I attended was big on volunteering. She steered me that direction. I was a committee chair for my local AMTA chapter, and then I became a Commissioner for the Commission on Massage Therapy Accreditation (COMTA), then the Chair of COMTA. I did some volunteer work for NCBTMB and then became a Trustee for the Massage Therapy Foundation. For two years I was the massage therapy ambassador to the Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine (AIHM) and currently I am on the board of the Academic Collaborative for Integrative Health (ACIH) and also a member of the Board of Trustees for the University of Western States in Oregon. Volunteering has been a big part of my career in massage therapy.
I stay engaged through my volunteer work, which is a great learning environment as well. I also go to relevant conferences and am now most interested in inter-professional education. That is, education that brings healthcare practitioners of different fields closer together in how they work with patients/clients.
When I was Chair of COMTA we received our initial approval from the U.S. Dept. of Education. That was a long time coming. By the time our renewal came around we had developed the first set of competencies for the field of massage therapy. As a group we did some excellent work, that still exists today. I am proud to have been a part of those processes.
More recently, I am proud to have been a co-leader of the team that developed competencies for optimal inter-professional practice through the ACIH.
The best part for me now is meeting like minded people in the fields of health and wellness; working on how to make our healthcare system more equitable, more affordable and more patient/client centered.
Once you get your practice going, whether you practice solo, in a group or at a spa, and feel comfortable with yourself in your new career, I would strongly advise therapists to get involved in local organizations that promote health and wellness. It could be a massage organization, or any other organization that you think would benefit from the expertise you bring. Don’t think too narrowly—it’s a great way to network! We have to carry the message that massage has many benefits to help people optimize their health. | 2019-04-18T14:38:48 | http://www.spaandwellnesscareers.com/blog.cfm?codeid=313446 |
Living at home with an incurable illness can be a painful, difficult and distressing experience without proper specialist support. Everyday tasks such as bathing, getting out of a chair and moving around become monumental challenges for both the patient and their family members to overcome.
Our occupational therapists support patients who wish to remain at home by providing specialist equipment, advice and guidance to help them maintain their independence.
We have our own team of social workers who can provide counselling and act as advocates for our patients and their families.
Our social workers can give advice about, financial and legal matter; care packages at home, nursing homes and residential homes; and social services and other agencies. They also provide bereavement support.
Our doctors are able to visit patients at home to offer specialist advice, working in partnership with primary care teams, on the complex physical and psychological effects of living with a life limiting illness. | 2019-04-26T02:22:23 | https://www.severnhospice.org.uk/for-patients/care-at-home/other-support/ |
I have been living in the Bay Area for just over a year now, and I’ve really enjoyed witnessing the full rotation of the seasons: Autumn had beautiful yellows and ambers and browns, the Winter – soft blues and greys, Spring – a verdant green with pinks and lilacs, and Summer is currently full of dry golden grasses, a muted blue sky and white clouds.
One of the newest contributors to the greatest design blog on the web, Design*Sponge, is Lauren Willhite. She’s a Graphic Designer based in Portland, Oregon, and her blog, Color Collective is a treasure trove of loveliness. It’s been years now, but I’m still really gravitating toward the blue/green/grey combinations, with pops of warm colour like yellow and orange.
I love this combination because the greens and blues are balances out with the warmer tones of yellow, orange and bone. And how cool would it be to paint a room more than three colours?
I'd love my world painted like this!
This above is quite possibly my favourite pallette out of all the ones I have featured. I love the ‘pop’ the orange gives this work without dominating the blue and green tones and the yellow-based neutral. Compliments it perfectly. Splendid!
I love the inclusion of a deep, rich grey in this colour palette above. And I adore the ethereal quality of the photographs, too.
Why not use all of these colours?
By using the pink and purple alongside the blues and green, it feels slightly more whimsical, and high energy.
And I included this one because I responded to it. I love the periwinkle walls we have at the moment, and love it balanced with the warm oranges instead of the pops of red we currently have.
I love the resource Lauren offers designers, artists and others like me through Color Collective. Would be a great place to stop by and have a poke around when you’re next deciding on colours for paint, projects, etc.
What colours are currently inspiring you?

The final — and main conference day — for UXLX saw 450 people from 32 different countries flock to the the Lisbon FIL centre to hear Don Norman, Christian Crumlish, Kristina Halvorson and more.
The first talk of the day really put a mark on the presentations that would follow. It was a talk about the elephant in the room in practically every design case I currently work on; big companies are usually chopped up in little departments and those departments do NOT communicate with each other. Lou held a strong plea that those departments should start working together in order to create a better user experience and outweigh your competition.
Silos —Lou is a consultant in information architecture and visits lots of companies who need his help with getting their act together. Whenever he asks about search analytics, the voice of the user via the callcenter or usability research reports, most busineses have to ask three different departments about these things. There is nobody who connects theses “silos”, as Lou likes to call them. So if there is a Usability Research Silo and a Customer Support Silo, do you think they should be talking to each other? Or at least connect their findings in some way? Hell yes. And this is not only the case with research and analytics departments. Most of the time, the “brand strategy” is created in Silo A and the persona’s for the screen designs are written in Silo B. And these Silos also do not communicate with each other.
These silos are missing out on the combinatorial effect: together they are better than the sum of both when viewed apart.
So do we do with these silos? Well, let’s blow them up.
Getting there — So how do we blow up these silos? First off, Lou tells us, you have to get out of yours. Visit some other Silos and find out what they know. Work together.
Lou concludes his talk with a few pointers you need to keep in mind when establishing a decision making organ. First off: blue sky it. Ask yourself, if you’re going to build a dicision making apparatus, what would it look like?
Next: Ban loaded terms and crutches from the discussion, like “omniture”, “user testing”, “market research” and so forth, because these words tend to take the discussion on roads your company has been walking on for too long.
And the bottom line: blow up the silos and put people together.
“Companies that integrate their silos of insight will outpace their competitors.
Play, like design, is both wonderful and available for multiple interpretations – something Christian Crumlish took full advantage of in his wide-ranging talk.
Starting off with the analogy of how print designers bemoaned the web’s lack of control, Crumlish suggests that we should be using the concept of play — its original meaning is ‘to dance’, which is apt as we should be thinking about allowing space. Play gives us masks, the chance to have an assumed identity, and the change to carry out re-imaginings (one entomologist is a dedicated participant in Civil War re-enactments to the point that he brings in era appropriate bugs to attack the troops!).
He gave a quick overview of what makes games work.
Rules are key — what is fair and what is not?
Competition — we naturally compete, so that type of environment can help with play. But it’s not only option — collaboration is also a important alternative (the board game Pandemic is a great example of this). The leaderboard can draw people to that and neglect experience — people also like to work together!
You don’t need to create a perfect experience, but instead one that’s tuneable.
A great example of it is Twitter—you keep tuning it to get what you want (more/less). Extending the metaphor that musical ensembles are about “getting in tune” (choosing what key), he suggested that we choose to “ensemble play” in the key of a certain hashtag.
And for those who know anything about Crumlish — he’s known as an avid amateur ukulele player — yes, he finished up the talk with a tune.
After sun- and T-shaped thinkers Stephen Anderson decided that it was time to introduce a new type: Z-shaped thinkers. According to him these are people who think beyond the obvious, people that dare to turn the challenge around and take it a step further. “When everyone zigs, zag.” The point that Stephen wants to bring across is that it’s not about the tools, it’s about the thinking process itself.
When looking at existing examples Stephen mentions people like Negroponte who dared to embrace the limitations of creating a laptop for children that would at max cost $100. Instead of being blocked by the constraints he managed to turn it around and create a really interesting laptop. Another hero of Stephen is George Lucas. When he started with the Star Wars movies nobody knew how they had to make it, but George Lucas simply said that they had to aim for the result they wanted to have and would find a way to reach it. This way of thinking makes it possible for us as UX designers to really take challenges on and make a difference. But what’s the way to do this?
As an example Stephen gave the audience a simple task. First he asked everybody to “Design a vase.” When people did this he turned the challenge around and showed everybody how you should look at the challenge: “Design a better way for people to enjoy flowers in their home.” This simple task really showed everyone what the right approach is. The question that follows this is whether or not a lot of designers ever get the room to rephrase a challenge like this… often the business has a clear description of what they want and it’s difficult to change things around. But that doesn’t mean we must avoid it. It means we need to understand the importance of it and should try and talk to the right people in the right language. And this is where Leisa Reichelt’s workshop on Strategic UX fits in perfectly.
… in order to envision unseen opportunities.
You know that world of junk that WAL-E lives in, picking up the odd interesting trinket? That’s the way content is these days on the web. Halvorson says that those odd trinkets are the occasional piece of good content she finds in her travels as a content strategist.
The elephant in the room of any conversation is where the content for a site will come from and how it will be maintained. To make matters worse, web writers are normally brought in far too late into the picture.
Content is not copywriting, The content goes into a messy ecosystem, and has a lifecycle.
She points out that while the field has been around for fifteen years, it’s only been recently that UX has started to pay attention to it, perhaps because it never seemed relevant. Even now she points out that UXers may think they don’t have do deal with workflow and governance. However, they do have to ask the right questions.
Demonstrate — hold a mirror up to their pain. She showed an example of history.com showing Valentines Day content on the 16th of February, and a paralysing data-dump of all categories.
Recognize the life cycle of content — there are a whole lot of models as to the hoops content has to jump through, but it’s most important to understand which must be changed regularly, and by who.
Quoting some well known professionals goes a long way to supporting your arguments.
Draw — pictures are good.
Envision. Decide the picture you want to aim towards.
Discussing the conundrum of CMS’s (and their somewhat failed promise), she recommends the blog CMS Myth.
Ninety percent of businesses say the cross-channel experience is critical to their business success. Nick Fink talked to us about definitions, methods, tools and examples to help us create a seamless customer/user experience (he believes the names don’t matter as the goal is the same). We need to answer the question: “What is it that we need to do to (sell a bike/let people enjoy a conference)?” and create a seamless experience for our products and services.
Businesses and also UXers tend to think in channels, but customers don’t. They don’t think in the silos that businesses create and perceive one business through different channels or touchpoints. So it’s important to craft a coherent cross-channel experience.
But how can we do this? Of course we need to gather insights on how people use our products and services. We have to pay attention to detail and look for hacks: e.g. what do people add to a product to enhance the experience. And we need to follow the experience through to the last point and learn the business process behind it. Once you’ve gathered the insights you can create a customer journey map, an experience map or a service blueprint, all of which help you to visualize the cross channel experience.
Finck takes Netflix as a good example, because they have matched the different touch points in such a way that the system is pro-active: It knows when you’ve had a problem with its service and proactively compensates you for it. It informs you when it sends a movie or received one back from you and will allow you to engage with its services on any device (iPhone, iPad, TV, laptop, …) This is a sign that Netflix has aligned its stage and backend to serve their audience a seamless experience.
The question of businesses is: ” How do we do this?” We need a strategy.
We need to have a unified vision of what we’re trying to do.
It’s great that Nick Finck talks about the experience beyond the screen, and the theme of breaking down silos is definitely a recurring theme at UXLX (see also Louis Rosenfeld’s talk). As UX’ers we have the skills and tools to help break down the walls, so let’s go out and do it.
Let’s get rrrrready to rrrrrrrumbleeeeee!
I was getting really excited when I heard the title of this talk (rescheduled from Jeff Veen because of illness).Josh’s presentation was really set up as a match— from the premise, right through to the imagery of each slide (each with some old skool wrestler, boxer or luchadore in a position that reflects the context). I always like guys who put something “extra”, some delighters, in their presentation.
The presentation is not backed up by statistics or real life examples, but consists of observations and temporary technical restraints that both contenders inhabit.
Then he shows us the commercial for the DroidX phone, in which astronauts find a strange device in space. Within this device they find a phone that kinda integrates with the astronauts arm and forms itself into an Android phone. Did I hear a nerdgasm?
The different cultures couldn’t be clearer — iPhone is about emotion, Android features and technology. So making an app for iPhone or Android can be based on your marketing strategy or the way people would want to use the app.
Then there is the mobile web. “It’s webtastic. Everybody loves her”. That is because you only need to make one app and your done. You have an instant reach of everyone who owns an iPhone or Android phone (Josh briefly addresses Blackberry, Windows Mobile and Windows Phone 7, but they are irrelevant to the point).
So, if everything is a match, there has to be a winner, right? No.
There is no winner. Both contenders have their strengths and weaknesses, so it’s comparing apples to oranges.
But Josh has a very strong point of view that in order to be something in the world of mobile devices, you should at least have a mobile website. And on top of a mobile website you could, for example, create an app for your most precious customers; an app that provides them with something handy and unique.
Josh declares a winner that, in my opinion, is no contender in this match, but plays a whole different sport: the API. True, when you have a good API, building a mobile site and native apps is a breeze, but for me, this outcome was a bit disappointing, given the premise of the talk.
So both have their advantages and weaknesses, no shocker there. But why not make an app that hold a frame which hold a mobile website? These Hybrid apps can work and you would have best of both world… right? Not exactly. The problem with an app is that is has to feel like an app. And an iPhone app feels differently from an Android app. So your mobile website must behave accordingly. Ofcourse this can be resolved by creating two mobile websites.
Ding ding ding! But we want a winner!
For his talk, Dario Buzzini used the detective novel “The Manual of Detection” as a guide to UX practice, backed up with examples from his work at IDEO.
Starting with the poetic (and somewhat provocative) statement: “We designers, we write stories not manuals, we design experiences not procedures, strive for beauty not truth”, he picked 11 quotes from the book that had relevance to UX.
In relation to skills needed in a job — you need to have more than one in order to seem as if you should be there!
On Language — As an investigator, you need to know how to talk the right languages, objects have memory, too.
Surgery situation — the nurse is touching the patient’s hand not only to comfort them, but also to measure anaesthetic. realised in surgery situation that the gadget for the nurse with stylus would eventually be used just with thumb!
On Leads — follow them, to let them go.
Often your first idea may be the best, but it can’t be your only one. IDEO has a parking lot for ideas on their whiteboards, so that designers get their ideas out and move on.
On Documentation — most is for the wishing well, not a file .
Buzzini stressed that should be actionable (echoing Dan Brown’s talk on documentation the day before).
On Nemeses — important to find your opposites.
IDEO create partner teams for projects (apps etc) where both sit and work together. Can be difficult but helpful.
On Bluffing — If you’re caught in a lie, lie again.
On interrogation—the process begins long before you are alone in a room together. By then, you should already know your answers.
Cryptology — be careful what you dig up, it’s yours.
Designers haven’t helped people with banking, making it hard for them to understand what happens with their money. Banksimple is using diagrams to help with that.
On Solutions — a good detective tries to know everything, a great one knows just enough to see him through to the end.
On Dream Detection — be careful to check whether what you’ve seen is real or a fallacy.
Check exactly who it is you’re designing for.
Another interesting tip he provided was to think about where the complexity occurs in a product system (aka Tesler’s Law of the Conservation of Complexity). For example, with coffee machines, in a manual it occurs with the user (making the coffee), a semi-automatic in the machine, a pod model in the packaging.
He finally echoed other speakers such as Halvorson with his reminder that it doesn’t matter if a design is bad unless it starts to affect sales.
By the end of the day, most people had managed to collect most (if not all) of their UX Trump Cards (apparently Bill Buxton and Robert Hockman Jnr were particularly hard to find) and Mental Notes mini-sets. While the fabulous location was a given, UXLX excelled in running a tight ship — speakers were kept to time so the four rooms never got out of sync, a common problem with conferences — and a line up of quality speakers. It’d be great to see some more local/European speakers (a prime example was how Netflix — a service that isn’t available in Europe— was used as a case study several times), but given the diverse crowd, hopefully some will cross the line from participant to speaker next year.

Naomi Jackson discusses her debut novel, The Star Side of Bird Hill, how she approached writing about mental illness and its affects on a family, and choosing to to tell a story from multiple perspectives.
A flash-fire covered the horizon all around and behind her, and my mother glowed genuine blue. I saw her skeleton, or maybe her white-hot soul. Something flew up and around our heads.
It would be simple to say that she is missing the internal formulation that makes one enthusiastic about dogs. And that would be true, partially. Was she, as their mother once said, a cold fish?
Many days I couldn’t see the way forward, but I kept going, the way you had. It was you, after all, who taught me how to stay. | 2019-04-23T11:54:33 | https://therumpus.net/topics/sisters/ |
I happen to be a doctor of Pastoral Medicine so naturally I am very happy that I developed a system of medicine that serves humankind more effectively than traditional allopathic medicine.
When the world economy collapses, modern medicine will suffer a terrible fall. Money will dry up for expensive pharmaceutical medicines that poison more then they cure. Doctors will have to scramble for alternatives if they want to continue to help their patients. But such alternatives have to be based on solid, empirical evidence and research for doctors to pay much attention.
My protocol that I call “Natural Allopathic Medicine” is rational and scientifically-based; pharmaceutical medicine is not. Pharmaceutical terrorism (born with I.G. Farben and the Nazi doctors) is a very real and dangerous thing and so is medical insanity, of which there is no shortage. Through the years I have written about these subjects but this week I was introduced to yet another example of pharmaceutical terrorism and medical insanity coming together.
The wife of a good friend of mine started having some serious heart problems and was taken to a hospital in Brasilia, the federal capital of Brazil. In seeking a solution to her problem she saw 14 doctors who prescribed 15 different pharmaceuticals, which she is now taking all at the same time.
There is not one doctor, pharmaceutical company or medical official who has any idea what will happen when these 15 chemical pharmaceutical drugs are mixed together. Each one has side effects, which will be complicated and amplified by the presence of other drugs. Going into this uncharted treatment protocol, she had heart and lung inflammation. Now she is bleeding from lungs and large intestines.
We cannot feel too badly for this woman because she rejected outright a more natural approach. But we can feel badly for her four daughters and her husband who might not have her around for too much longer. Who we trust says a lot about us and determines to a great extent what happens to us in our lives. Trusting the western medical establishment can end one up very dead, bankrupt or having a host of new medical problems that calls doctors to prescribe even more dangerous drugs.
One cannot ever hope to practice pharmaceutical medicine safely. Not only are all pharmaceuticals dangerous (even their safest medicines like aspirin are deadly) but none of them have been tested in combination with other drugs. The medical system is making guinea pigs of its patients by blindly prescribing drugs in combination that have never been tested together.
Sounds like medical blasphemy, which is what contemporary medicine has embraced. It’s bad enough that doctors use medicines and procedures that cause cancer in their retched way of treating it. No one caught on for decades that pediatricians were injecting babies with heavy metals like mercury and aluminum that lace many vaccines. The list is endless, enough so that hundreds of thousands of people die each year from “properly prescribed” medicines.
So really we do need a new medicine that goes mainstream. Contemporary medicine has to be reborn with new principles and practices. As it is it can hardly be seriously considered as anything even close to the appropriate practice of medicine. Unfortunately change comes at a snail’s pace for humans and their institutions. No one is holding their breath waiting for a medical revolution because all the professional fat cats at the top of the medical world are too fond of their privileges and pleasures to throw in the towel or become humble enough to admit the errors of their ways.
I have tried my best to address the above and feel like I have succeeded. Natural Allopathic Medicine actually grew out of the best of emergency room and intensive care medicine, both of which apply concentrated nutritional medicines when all else fails. Magnesium chloride and sodium bicarbonate are at the heart of my medical approach and they are the best workhorse medicines emergency departments have.
So I am putting out a request to my wide readership to send in their testimonies about their use, in full or in part, of my protocols. This would help me thrust my medicine further out into the world. For testimonies already received, please visit http://blog.imva.info/medicine/natural-allopathic-medicine-cures.
The rules and conditions of life are changing and it is going to be a struggle for survival. Our already toxic world is getting more contaminated and radioactive, with modern dentistry and medicine adding significantly to this problem with their use of heavy metals, lethal drugs and radiation.
The majority of people are meeting the future with significantly weakened bodies and immune systems because of dangerous deficiencies in iodine, magnesium and other essential minerals and nutrients. The strength of the cells’ adaptive capacity is directly related to nutritional sufficiency and proper cellular respiration that removes toxins and wastes through the cell wall.
Cells can respond to stress in various ways ranging from the activation of survival pathways to the initiation of cell death that eventually eliminates damaged cells. Whether cells mount a protective or destructive stress response depends on different factors, but the most important is nutritional status. Bicarbonate deficiencies are also a problem, thus the reason sodium bicarbonate makes such a great medicine.
Natural Allopathic Medicine uses only safe, non-toxic, non-synthetic medicinals that do not add to the toxic burden of the body. Most of the items in the protocol can be taken orally, transdermally or administered intravenously. Transdermal applications include topical application directly on the skin, intense medical baths, nebulization into lung tissues or in the use of glutathione suppositories and natural enemas.
I never fell into the trap of over-identifying with any single medicinal as the answer to everything or anything. I am a confirmed protocol man and ALWAYS deal with many medicinals simultaneously. But still, no matter how deeply I have gotten into other medicines, magnesium chloride remains the heavyweight champion and ALWAYS needs to be included in EVERYONE’S daily regimen. | 2019-04-20T06:14:51 | https://drsircus.com/general/natural-allopathic-medicine-2/ |

TEHRAN – Reacting to the twin terrorist attacks in Tehran on Wednesday, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said the Iranian nation and government won’t be cowed by the “firecrackers”.
“Today’s firecrackers will not influence the people’s will,” the Leader told hundreds of students in Tehran.
“Do not forget idealism.” This was the first recommendation of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution to student associations.
In the seventh recommendation, he advised student associations on “religiosity and worship in deeds and words” and asked them to act according to religious principles and divine responsibility.
expressed the viewpoints and concerns of the student community for more than two hours. | 2019-04-18T16:27:00 | https://www.tehrantimes.com/news/414076/Ayatollah-Khamenei-Iran-unmoved-by-firecrackers |
Finally the long-awaited OpenCart 2.0 has been released to the public for use. The new version of our favourite ecommerce platform has a whole host of major new features and improvements. Here are some of them.
Pretty much all new websites need to be responsive these days so that they adapt to look optimized on mobile phones and tablets.
Many developers, when creating a new theme for OpenCart, base this on the default theme that comes with the platform so it's great that this new theme now responds beautifully to the device it's being viewed on.
Only part of the page is visible in OpenCart 1.5.6 The theme elegantly puts all elements in place, reducing the size of the main banner and adding a "hamburger" menu.
Although usually simple for web developers, installing an extension or theme used to be a little daunting for most merchants. They would have to unzip their extension and then upload it via FTP, hoping that they wouldn't destroy their site. OpenCart 2.0 comes with an extension installer that allows you to click a button and upload the extension to automatically install.
As well as a responsive front-end, you can now easily access the OpenCart backend on your mobile or tablet. Great news for merchants who want to update and edit products while in the warehouse or showroom.
This shows what's happening on your site, in real time.
This is great news if you want to get to know your customers a little better. Just add some additional fields in the Sales > Customers > Custom Fields section and customers will then be able to fill these in when they register.
Are you using OpenCart 2.0 already? What do you think? Looking to upgrade, but wondering what's involved? Let us know in the comments below! | 2019-04-20T16:28:01 | https://www.antropy.co.uk/blog/a-quick-look-at-opencart-2-0/ |

O-Bank's primary stakeholders are employees, customers, shareholders, suppliers, government agencies, the local community, the public, and the news media. The matters they care about are diverse, and have wide-ranging impact. To fulfill its corporate social responsibilities, O-Bank maintains a number of channels for two-way communication with stakeholders, and identifies material topics of concern to stakeholders to set the agenda for key management policies and plans for their execution.
Making reference to the CSR Reports of peer companies in the financial industry, O-Bank has identified employees, shareholders, government agencies, customers, suppliers, the local community, the public, NPOs/NGOs, CSR experts and scholars, artists, media, and labor unions as potential stakeholders. CSR representatives from the Bank's various units have met for internal discussions and redefined the scope of stakeholders to exclude CSR experts and scholars, labor unions, media, and NPOs/NGOs. This decision was based on the dual principles of "relevance to the business of O-Bank's departments, and frequency of contact." In addition, they merged "artists and the local community" into the more broadly defined stakeholder category of "the public," resulting in six major stakeholder categories: employees, shareholders, government agencies, customers, suppliers, and the public.
O-Bank's highest authority for governance is the Board of Directors, which has 15 members with diverse professional backgrounds, skill sets, and industry experience. The directors are responsible for reviewing the company's business plan, any organizational expansion or downsizing, budgets and year-end accounts, appointment and dismissal of key managerial officers, and approval of matters of material importance. Also, in order to ensure sound decision-making and improve managerial and oversight mechanisms, the Board maintains various special-purpose committees, including an Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Investment Committee, and Corporate Social Responsibility Committee. The purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors with its supervisory duties. The purpose of the Compensation Committee is to assist the Board of Directors with evaluating and supervising the Bank's overall compensation policy and the compensation of Directors and managerial officers. The purpose of the Investment Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in evaluating and supervising investment quality and reviewing investment plans. The purpose of the Corporate Social Responsibility Committee is to set CSR-related regulations, policy direction, and carry out CSR plans.
To effectively optimize internal controls and put the company on stronger organizational footing, O-Bank has adopted the "three lines of defense" model for effective risk management and control. This approach has entailed the establishment of a self-audit system, a legal compliance system, a risk management system, and an internal control system. In the area of legal compliance, O-Bank adopts an annual legal compliance plan. Under this plan, in addition to reviewing compliance systems, structures, and regulations, the Bank also conducts an integrated inspection of all departments' compliance self-assessments, analyzes reasons for serious compliance failures, and makes suggestions for improvement. In the area of risk management, the highest authority in O-Bank’s risk management organization is the Board of Directors, and below it are the Auditing Department, Audit Committee, Investment Committee, and Compensation Committee. Reporting to the President are the Asset and Liability Committee, Investment Product Quality Evaluation Committee, and Loan Evaluation Committee, which assess the risk of related projects. As for internal auditing, the Auditing Department conducts periodic on-site audits at every unit and also supervises their self-audits. Once each half-year, the chief auditor reports on these matters to the Board of Directors.
To implement ethical best practice, O-Bank has adopted a "Code of Ethical Conduct," a set of "Ethical Best Practice Standards," and a "Handbook for Ethical Corporate Management Procedures and Practices." The Corporate Social Responsibility Committee's Corporate Governance Subcommittee is responsible for the following: adopting and implementing ethical best practice policies as well as measures for preventing malfeasance; ensuring that directors, managerial officers, and other employees do not violate ethical principles; monitoring the effectiveness of the company's ethics standards; and periodically reporting to the Board of Directors. Also, O-Bank has established a Whistleblower System to encourage any person to blow the whistle on any unethical or improper conduct. Under this system, someone who discovers a possible occurrence of crime, cheating, or regulatory violations can report the matter via a "tip box" to the chief auditor. A whistleblower's identity, and the content of his or her report, are kept strictly confidential.
To ensure that all employees comply with the Ethical Best Practice Standards in the conduct of their job duties, O-Bank in 2017 retained a professional from KPMG Taiwan to provide instruction to O-Bank employees on the Handbook for Ethical Corporate Management Procedures and Practices. The purpose of the course, which was completed by 75 persons, was to improve understanding of ethics concepts among risk officers and other employees. Also, O-Bank used its e-learning platform to carry out online instruction and testing of employees throughout the entire company, thus improving all employees' familiarity with ethical best practices, ensuring comprehensive legal compliance, and preventing unethical conduct. The online training was completed by 805 persons, which translates to a participation rate of 100%.
After reorganizing as a commercial bank in 2017, O-Bank's staffing needs increased significantly. At year-end 2017, the Bank employed 904 people. As an equal opportunity employer, we do not discriminate on the basis of gender, age, ethnicity, or other such factors. O-Bank employed equal numbers of men and women in 2017, while women accounted for roughly 48% of management and 47% of all promotions. These figures show that all employees enjoy fully equal opportunities for career development and advancement. In addition, O-Bank employed 11 persons with physical disabilities (1.2% of total staff), which exceeded the regulatory standard. O-Bank also maintains clear regulations against any kind of sexual harassment, discrimination, or threatening behavior, and its on-the-job training programs include courses on gender equality, prevention of sexual harassment, and the needs of disadvantaged persons.
O-Bank's starting salaries are above the minimum required by the Labor Standards Act. In 2017, starting monthly salaries for university graduates hired by the O-Bank Group were 1.6 times the minimum wage, and the Bank makes annual salary adjustments, granting an average raise of 3% in 2017 to 97% of all employees who took part in performance evaluations. Employee benefits are also generous. In addition to providing employees with labor insurance, national health insurance, and retirement pensions as required by law, O-Bank also offers employees and their family members with comprehensive group insurance. Also, O-Bank arranges regular health examinations that exceed regulatory requirements for employees. In 2017, 87.2% of employees took advantage of the health examination program. Living expense allowances include: holiday bonuses; birthday bonuses; scholarships for dependents; birth, marriage, and funeral allowances; company dinner allowances; preferential-rate deposits for employees; and collaboration with daycare facilities for childcare discounts. In addition, we have also adopted the "O-Bank Rules for Administration of Employee Loans" to assist employees with housing purchases or other financial needs.
In addition to helping employees achieve work-life balance by offering menstrual leave, parental leave, paternity leave, and family leave, O-Bank goes beyond the statutory minimum with additional paid leave options such as family ties leave (for employees who need to care for family members), community service leave (to encourage employees to take part in community service activities), paternity leave for prenatal checkups (so that husbands can accompany their wives to prenatal checkups), and birthday leave (to allow employees to leave work a half-day early on any day of their choosing during their birthday month). And in addition to this extremely varied benefit and leave system, the O-Bank headquarters building has a reading room, an employee lounge, a "health kiosk," a massage and rest area, a music room, and an art gallery where employees can go to relax and enjoy art.
As for employee training, in addition to arranging in-house and outside training courses, we have also launched the "O-Bank digital academy" digital learning platform, which offers access to a wide range of online courses covering such fields as financial services, legal compliance, anti-money laundering, information security, and professional and managerial techniques. In addition, O-Bank offers employees allowances to offset first-time testing fees for professional licenses regardless whether the qualifications are sought for business purposes, to satisfy legal requirements, or for personal reasons. To encourage the pursuit of excellence, O-Bank has a comprehensive performance evaluation system and conducts annual performance management. Under this system, each employee is interviewed by his or her immediate supervisor for a preliminary evaluation. This is then followed up with an inter-departmental secondary review to conduct a performance alignment by senior management for all employees at the same occupational rank. The purpose is to ensure consistent application of standards throughout the entire bank. Because of the company's rapidly growing personnel needs, O-Bank has established an Assessment Center to identify employees with outstanding potential and provide them with proper training.
To prevent workplace accidents, O-Bank has adopted a set of "Working Rules for Occupational Safety and Health," which sets out express standards for workplace safety and health and provides clear and detailed instructions regarding first aid measures, use of emergency equipment, and accident reporting procedures. At the same time, the Bank carries out employee safety and health training as well as disaster preparedness drills, and works to raise safety awareness. In 2017, O-Bank's safety and health training courses as well as its secondary fire and earthquake preparedness team drills were completed by 182 and 108 employees, respectively. These activities have improved employees' emergency response capabilities. O-Bank has created a smokeless working environment, regularly tests its CO2 emissions and use of lighting, and rigorously enforces its door access restrictions to ensure employee safety. The Bank's employee health assessments and workplace health promotion program work extremely well, and the company has received a "Healthy Workplace Certification" from the Ministry of Health and Welfare's Health Promotion Administration.
In the area of labor rights, O-Bank holds meetings of its labor-management council to discuss labor legislation safeguards, and after the council passes resolutions it incorporates the content thereof into the Bank's internal work rules and announces the rules to all employees. Also, in order to create more opportunities for interaction between employees and senior management, O-Bank in 2017 held a series of company events to provide venues for two-way communications between employees and senior management. In addition, O-Bank has established a "Complaint Mailbox" and a "Sexual Harassment Complaint Mailbox." Cases reported via these channels are treated as confidential matters in order to protect the interests of complainants. The company also maintains a "We Care" mailbox to encourage suggestions for ways to care for employee needs.
For many years now, O-Bank has provided its corporate customers with comprehensive solutions by creating boutique financial services featuring real-time convenience, professional sophistication, and reliable security. In January 2017, O-Bank reorganized as a commercial bank, branched out into retail banking, and tapped into digital technology to become the first native digital bank in Taiwan. Ordinary consumers can now use their mobile devices to access financial services online, thus turning O-Bank's vision of financial inclusion into reality.
O-Bank's corporate business services include corporate banking, global transactions banking, financial markets, investment services, securitization, and trust services. In addition, the Bank also provides stepped coupon bonds that are tailored to meet specific customer needs under specific market conditions. Also, O-Bank has launched a Corporate Internet Banking service (to provide corporate customers with convenient and secure electronic banking services), uses an "e-Advice" automated messaging system (which provides customers instantaneous access to the latest business and market information), and offers Automated Clearing House services (which enable customers to receive and pay funds, thus increasing the convenience and security of transactions). For each corporate customer, O-Bank provides a dedicated account representative to ensure maximum service quality. At the same time, the Bank holds a special campaign to show appreciation to its customers and build stronger ties with them.
Since O-Bank formally launched its retail banking services in 2017, consumers have been able to use mobile devices to access a wide range of financial services, including fully online account openings, fully online loan applications, online purchasing of shares in investment funds, and robo-advisor service. In addition, O-Bank has developed many innovative new online app features. One of these is the O-Bank Easy Payments, which can use QR codes, GPS data, or mobile phone numbers to execute funds transfers. Another is the Payment Analysis, which facilitates analysis of the user's account transactions and debit card payments. Yet another is the O-Bank Red Envelope, which customers can use to send "red envelope" cash gifts in digital form via their mobile devices. All these features serve to integrate financial services into the lives of O-Bank customers. And in order to better understand the views of consumers, in addition to online surveys targeted to major online communities, the Bank held an event in December 2017 to meet face-to-face with O-Bank fans, hear their thoughts and suggestions, share information with them concerning future product launches, and invite them to take part in product testing. The idea is to provide digital banking services that better meet the needs of consumers.
O-Bank has taken a series of measures in all its business operations to protect customer information. In addition to complying with the requirements of the "Personal Information Protection Act," the "Financial Supervisory Commission's Regulations Governing Security Measures for Personal Information Files at Designated Non-Public Agencies," and other related legislation, the Bank has also adopted its own "O-Bank Rules Governing Security Measures for Personal Information Files" and related information security management systems, and hired an information security firm to install an information security system. By inventorying personal information, carrying out risk assessments, and implementing personal information management measures, the Bank has raised employee awareness of the need to protect personal information, successfully safeguarded the security of customers' personal information, and fulfilled its duty of due care.
O-Bank strives in the course of routine operations to act in an environmentally conscious manner. The company does everything possible to reduce the company's environmental impact, and seeks to exist in harmony with the environment. Amidst today's rapid advances in the digital sphere, O-Bank has gone paperless with numerous official documents and operations, including the Board of Directors' Meeting Agenda and related attachments, the audit report of the Audit Committee, and the electronic forms system. Employee training, meanwhile, is conducted through the "O-Bank digital academy" digital learning platform to reduce printing of paper teaching materials, and the Bank is also working to reduce paper use by setting copiers and printers in all departments to do double-sided printing by default. In addition, the Bank communicates with corporate customers via the "e-Advice" automated messaging system to reduce printing and mailing. On average, these measures reduce paper forms usage by some 5,000 items per month, which means an 84% reduction in paper usage.
O-Bank is addressing the problem of global climate change by implementing energy conservation policies. In 2017, the Bank phased out inefficient halogen lamps and high-pressure sodium lamps, keeping the original fixtures and switching in more efficient LED tubes. A total of 361 lamps were replaced over the past year, reducing annual energy consumption by an estimated 59,949 kWh (69.91%) and cutting CO2 emissions by some 31.71 metric tons. The O-Bank headquarters employs inverter air conditioning and a variety of sun shades to improve indoor cooling efficiency. It also employs software to control elevator traffic. The number of elevator cars in operation varies from peak to off-peak hours, with only one car kept running on weekends and holidays. As for water resource management, O-Bank relies solely on the public water supply, and has installed infrared sensors at restroom taps to control water usage. All water supply devices are regularly cleaned and filters are changed and inspected, while plants and landscaping are watered according to season and weather to adjust consumption.
O-Bank's suppliers are primarily construction contractors and providers of IT equipment, office equipment, and office supplies. The Bank's "Rules for Purchase Requisition and Payment Procedures" places priority on green products, giving first consideration to environmentally friendly vendors to gradually increase the proportion of collaboration with green suppliers, while at the same time promoting the concept of green consumption to all suppliers. For example, at the Taipei Vie Show Branch and the Zhongxiao Dunhua Branch, both of which the Bank opened in 2017, green purchasing has accounted for 15% total disbursements.
O-Bank reorganized in 2017 as a commercial bank and relies primarily on virtual delivery channels, which means it is the first native digital bank in Taiwan. Having the borderless service model of a digital bank greatly reduces the energy consumption that would otherwise accompany the establishment of physical branches. Consumers no longer need to expend fuel to travel to physical branches to conduct their banking business, and online transactions generally do not involve the printout of paper vouchers. Technology, in the hands of O-Bank, helps us all live in harmony with the environment.
O-Bank embraces the ideals of giving back to society and using sustainable business practices, seeks to reflect a corporate culture of "always sincere, always here" in its social outreach and philanthropic activities, and strives to create a financial group with a human touch. Since the O-Bank headquarters building in the Neihu Science Park was completed in 2008, the O-Bank Educational Foundation has held frequent concerts, lectures, and exhibits in its first floor concert hall and gallery space. Furthermore, the Foundation's "Stars of TiDing Arts Promotion Project" has provided a venue for new and aspiring artists. The Ninth Annual Stars of TiDing Plan received a total of 71 performance and exhibition proposals, and selected 16 performances and 7 exhibits. These events will support a total of 71 budding artists. In addition, the O-Bank Educational Foundation encourages the younger generation to innovate boldly and realize their dreams of entrepreneurship. It has combined government and academic resources to hold the WeWin Entrepreneurship Competition for 10 consecutive years. It has also held business startup fairs, business startup workshops, and other such activities.
In 2015, O-Bank established the O-Bank Community Volunteer Club. O-Bank Vice Chairman Tina Y. Lo, who chairs the Bank's CSR Committee, serves as the Club's honorary president. As of year-end 2017, the Club had 50 members, which was 5.5% of the Bank's Taiwan-based employees. Since its founding in 2015, the Club has made a special effort to serve the needs of schools in remote areas where the children of immigrants account for a relatively large share of all students. The Club donates NT$12,000 per semester, for example, to fund scholarships for students at Jiqing Elementary School in New Taipei City, with scholarship support going to 36 students each semester. Also, in order to help students in remote areas develop a proper understanding of personal financial planning and learn how to spot scam artists, the O-Bank Community Volunteer Club held financial literacy events at remote elementary schools in New Taipei City, attracting 88 participants in 2017. In addition, O-Bank also held a "Holiday Spirit" community service program, a "Cinema for the Mind" program, and a "Rural Schools Culture & Arts" program to create a wide range of extracurricular activities for young students.
In addition, O-Bank has run a Summer Internship Program annually since 2015 to assist low-income students at colleges and universities with their career development efforts. Participation in this six-week program is open to students from underprivileged backgrounds who are currently enrolled in 3rd year or above (including graduate students). During the program, in addition to learning about the financial industry and receiving on-site training at financial institutions, interns also earn a salary, and stellar performers have an inside track for job opportunities after graduation. O-Bank hopes that these training opportunities will make the internship participants more competitive in the job market. Four students took part in the program in 2017.
O-Bank maintains diverse ties with social enterprises. For the past three years in a row, the Bank has held farmers' markets at its headquarters building, inviting social enterprises to come and sell organic fruits and vegetables, and it has joined forces with a social enterprise named Do You a Flavor to hold food drives in which employees of the Bank donate extra food from home to Do You a Flavor, which then makes the food into meals that it distributes to the homeless. O-Bank also purchases products from social enterprises to give away as holiday gift items. It bought over 500 such products in 2017 for a total of more than NT$300,000. For its efforts, O-Bank received a 2nd Class "Buying Power" Award in the new product and service of social innovation Purchase Reward Program from the Small and Medium Enterprise Administration of Ministry of Economic Affairs. And in order to further support the development of social enterprises, O-Bank in 2018 launched the “Exclusive Social Enterprises Demand Deposit Accounts featuring preferential interest rates “as well as the "preferential Social Enterprises payroll account features and services."
Enterprises are an important force for social change. O-Bank hopes to tap into the power of Taiwanese enterprises and work together with them to achieve its vision of co-existing with the natural environment and benefitting together with society. For this reason, O-Bank launched a "B Corp Campaign" in 2017 to encourage other Taiwanese firms to become a Certified B Corporation. This certification, which is based on the B Lab’s B Corp standards, constitutes recognition that a certified company, in addition to pursuing profits, also pays due attention to environmental and social concerns. Such a company is an entity that does the best for employees, the environment, and society. In hopes of acting as a catalyst, O-Bank itself obtained B Corp certification on 30 October 2017. Besides being the first listed bank in the world to become a B Corp, we are also the first listed company in Taiwan and the first financial services firm here to do so.
To fully achieve the B Corp ideal of "not best IN the world, but best FOR the world," O-Bank has joined with the Taipei City Government and B Lab Taiwan in holding a "Best for Taipei" corporate challenge, which offered 20 different courses to help companies prepare for the challenge. In addition, O-Bank also helped B Lab Taiwan hold the 2017 B Corp Asia Forum in Taichung, where scholars and representatives of over 30 overseas Certified B Corporations with representatives of Taiwanese B Corporations to interact and learn from each other. In November 2017, O-Bank joined with B Lab Taiwan in co-hosting a forum on B Corp issues, where representatives of Taiwanese B Corporations gathered to discuss their experiences and identify ways to care for the needs of employees, the environment, and society. The event was attended by more than 200 owners and senior executives of many different companies, some of which are O-Bank clients and suppliers. And to support the development of Taiwanese B Corporations, O-Bank has also set an industry precedent by offering exclusive B Corp demand deposit accounts featuring preferential interest rates, preferential B Corp payroll account features and services, and a special loan program for companies with B Corp Certification.

Championed by the U.S. non-profit B Lab, the B Movement urges businesses to care for not only financial returns but also social and environmental issues through the B Corp Certification that assesses a company’s overall impact across five dimensions of governance, workers, community, environment, and customers.
Together with the growing B Corp community worldwide, O-Bank will continue to strive for the vision of financial inclusion via digital innovations, use business as a force for good, and ultimately redefine success in business. | 2019-04-25T16:09:21 | https://www.o-bank.com/en/about/csr/csr-execution |

But to determine the standard of what’s unsafe, EWG doesn’t use the EPA’s standard. Nor does the group use California’s much lower standard of 1.1 mg per day (for a 154-pound adult). Crossing the California standard moves the cancer chances to one in 100,000 for an average adult.
EWG extrapolated the glyphosate standard it applied for testing by applying a couple of adjustments to California’s standard.
First, EWG decided to use California’s line for drinking water contaminants, which has a stricter standard than the EPA’s. Then, EWG used the increased vulnerability of children, whose immune systems aren’t fully developed, as the reason to apply the “10 times safety factor” in the 1996 EPA Food Quality Protection Act.
“With this additional children’s health safety factor, EWG calculated that a one-in-a-million cancer risk would be posed by ingestion of 0.01 milligrams of glyphosate per day,” EWG’s report states.
That’s a standard that’s 1/100th the amount of glyphosate California considers safe for adults and about 1/200th of what the EPA says you can eat daily without a problem. Grading on the EWG’s curve, 31 of 45 products failed the testing done for EWG by Eurofin Analytical Laboratories.
EWG says a 60-gram serving would be two cups of Cheerios (average of 497ppb in EWG’s tests) or 3/4 cup of Quaker Old Fashioned Oats (average of 930ppb in EWG’s tests). That’s about 1/4 cup less than a single soup bowl of cereal. As for the Quaker Oats, Quaker’s directions say 3/4 cup is enough for one-and-a half servings.
While both Cheerios and Quaker Old Fashioned Oats exceed the EWG standard, neither comes close to being a problem under the California standard or the EPA standard. You’d have to eat almost 28 bowls of Cheerios per day or 26 servings of Old Fashioned Oats for the state of California to consider your breakfast a cancer risk. | 2019-04-25T08:52:04 | https://www.bradenton.com/living/food-drink/article216838455.html |

As teens from across the country descend on Washington, D.C., for a massive march to end gun violence, an underground network of high school students is helping to secure hundreds of homes for their out-of-town peers.
The organizers — five friends from Walter Johnson High School in Bethesda, Md. — have set up temporary housing for at least 200 students from as far as California as they travel to participate in Saturday’s March For Our Lives. Hundreds of thousands of protesters are expected to demand school safety measures and push for stronger gun restrictions in response to the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla, which left 17 students and staff members dead.
In just two weeks, Mai and her friends have convinced about 300 hosts to open their homes, churches, synagogues, college dorm rooms and rental properties along D.C.’s Metro transit system for free over the weekend.
The housing network heavily relies on social media and the use of shared Google documents, but it’s a concept with longstanding roots in activism circles. Like many young activists, the students from Maryland say they were moved to action out of frustration following the Parkland shooting.
The friends said they knew many of their peers wouldn’t be able to attend the March For Our Lives in Washington without help.
They began spreading the word about their home-sharing network for March For Our Lives at the end of February, and soon several dozen students and hosts signed up. The young organizers then compared the online forms each participant had to fill out to match like-minded individuals.
While organizers can’t guarantee anyone’s safety, they have been trying to screen for potentially dangerous situations. For example, they contact parents for permission when students under 18 sign up, and they ask for letters of recommendations from hosts’ employers as part of a background check. They also do their best to pair students with families.
Philip Freeman, a 17-year-old high school student from St. Louis, has been texting and communicating on Snapchat with his Maryland host family for the last two weeks. He said he wouldn’t have been able to take part in March For Our Lives without the home-sharing network.
Now, the teen from Missouri — who wants to pursue a career in politics — is counting down the days until he’s in Washington, pressuring leaders to enact tighter restrictions on gun or get voted out of office, and marching alongside thousands of his peers, including the survivors of the Parkland shooting.
“There’s no more reason not to go,” he said. | 2019-04-22T08:29:04 | http://time.com/5205843/march-for-our-lives-home-sharing/ |

Today I would like to introduce you to a wonderful UK based brand I have found, Milk Moustache Apparel.
Like quite a few enterprising Mums, Sarah the owner of Milk Moustache discovered the lack of cool clothing available in the UK for her little one.
Sarah found that some beautiful clothing was being created from gorgeous fabric in the US and Austrailia.
Not wanting to incur customs charges and taxes, she decided the best thing to do would be to order fabric and make clothing herself! And so, Milk Moustache was born!
Now, I would love to be one of those Mums who “simply” orders some fabric, whips out a sewing machine and creates some masterpieces.. but as yet, I don’t own a sewing machine and wouldn’t know where to start! No, I’m afraid I am one of those Mums who happily purchases other’s creations!
What I really love about Sarah and her brand Milk Moustache Apparel, is that she has designed one of her fabric prints, pop corn, in collaboration with Cheryl Rawlings and Sarah has plans for even more unique fabric designs! I love it when new brands go that one step further to make themselves stand out.
Sarah stocks all of our fave, beautiful shorts and leggings, stunning rompers and some very handy dribble bibs, burp clothes and even teething rings. There is just one t shirt design in Milk Moustache ‘s collection so far, however, I’m sure there will be more in the future!
Milk Moustache is run alongside Sarah’s full time job AND being a mother. I honestly don’t know how she can be doing all of that. All I can do is support her by sending her my pennies in exchange for some beautiful clothing!
Sarah has very kindly offered Junior Style London readers 10% off. Simply enter the code Hello10 at the the Milk Moustache checkout!
What do you think of Sarah’s pop corn material? Do you have a favorite item?

Who wants to go wedding dress shopping with me?? Picking the perfect dress can be hard but when you know you know. That may sound cliche, but it's the truth. I tried on about 10 dresses but kept coming back to a certain one, and in the end it was the dress! There are so many to choose from like A-line, Fit and Flare, Ball Gowns.... to fabrics like lace and silk organza. It is easy to get caught up in the mix and like them all, but this is where your bridal stylist/consultant comes in to help you find that perfect one. I found my one at Modern Trousseau Louisville.
Modern Trousseau is a couture bridal boutique that showcases the designs of Australian born, Callie Tein. I knew it was the perfect place for me considering I am marrying an Aussie. Modern Trousseau has Flagship Stores in: Louisville, Baltimore, Nashville, Charleston, New Haven, New York, and Savannah. Flag Ship Stores coming soon to: Charlotte, Cincinnati, St. Louis, DC, and Long Island. You can also see their unique designs in many other bridal shops around the US (find them here). At their Flagship stores, find your perfect custom made dress that fits your needs for your special day.
The easiest way to select the dress is to have a budget and an idea in mind. Obviously a budget keeps you from over spending and trying on dresses that you will fall in love with and cannot afford. So save yourself and your bank account the stress. Skimming through bridal magazines and online can help you come up with a couple designs that you like. This can narrow down the amount of time you spend perusing through racks of dresses, and it will definitely cut down the number you try on. Honestly the more you try on the more it muddies the water in your mind of that perfect one.
Leah-Terese that runs the Modern Trousseau Louisville Flagship Store was the perfect host for me and my guests. she worked with me explaining the different fits and fabrics, and helped me narrow down my choices, until I picked my perfect one.
There are many reasons why I personally loved finding my dress at Modern Trousseau. I remember about a year ago (before I was engaged) walking pass this shop one night heading to meet up with some friends, I stopped and looked into the window and was in awe of all the beautiful dresses and I thought to myself "When I get married that is where my dress will be"! When the time came, I was right! Modern Trousseau sets its self apart from other bridal boutiques because their dresses are custom to fit your body. Your measurements are taken and your dress is made from start to finish to fit you. So you are not buying a dress off the rack that has to be cut down or reconstructed to fit your body type. You custom pick the lace and color of your dress, you can mix and match from other dresses (the top of one and the bottom of another), and add a belt for a little sparkle until it is made into your perfect creation.
If you are a bride and looking for that one of a kind dress, let me suggest Modern Trousseau. You won't regret it! You can request an appointment here.
Here is to happy stress free shopping because you will already have enough stress planning!
You always have to cheers when you find the dress!

TAURANGA, NEW ZEALAND – Karen Hay rewrote history on Sunday 6th April as she became New Zealand’s quickest and fastest female in her purpose built 1927 Ford Model T roadster powered by a twin turbocharged 482 cubic inch big block Chev engine. The record was previously held by Faye Grant from 1990 with a longer wheelbase rear engine dragster running a 6.629 second pass over the quarter mile at 205.52 miles per hour.
Having already run 208 miles per hour in 2012, Karen ran 6.61 seconds at 206 miles per hour over the quarter mile to become BOTH NZ’s fastest & quickest female in drag racing history. It’s a goal which Hay has been chasing since 2010 when the Hay Family Racing team purchased the car named “Evil II” from the late Clive Davis. The mother of two started racing in 2002 after crewing for her father Lindsay for a couple of years and in 2010 she ran her first 6 second pass. The car was built by the late Warren Brogie in California, USA and has now become the world’s quickest and fastest Brogie-built roadster which adds to the excitement of the NZ record.
Last weekend’s event at Fram Autolite Dragway, Meremere was the Bay Rodders hosted Nostalgia Drags and Hay describes the day she wrote history as the best day of her life. “I was hoping we were going to do it (the record) for many reasons this weekend. This meet is where my racing all started. Fram Autolite Dragway deserved to have me run the record on their track because their support has been unwavering for 12 years! I have lost two crew members along the way of this journey. I asked them in my cockpit just after my final burn out if you can help me out in any way boys can we do it now just for Dad?”.
Hay credits her success in drag racing to her parents, Lindsay & Shona Hay and their involvement in hot rodding, jetboat racing and drag racing. “Hugging Dad on the return road with us both crying with tears of joy and relief is a moment I will never forget. I had always envisaged us doing it one day. What a man my father is? He is the hardest working person I know, who has the utmost integrity, he'd do anything for anyone, he never gives up, he shows kindness to many and he and Mum have given me the opportunity that people can only dream of. The life I have been given by Mum and Dad and the support and love I have from my family and friends truly blows me away”.
This is a story of one goal, a close knit family and crew blended with the dedication, determination, commitment and a Kiwi can-do attitude to achieve the dream. This past season was challenging with the new set-up of turbo chargers with electronic fuel injection but Hay always had faith in her Dad and both father & daughter worked away towards their dream and achieved it. With the assistance of Robert Ward of RIPS Racing and Jason Cutelli of Infomotive (both based in Rotorua) the car consistently ran in the six second at 200 mph hour zone all weekend getting faster and quicker on each run. It was a dream weekend which also included running the rain dated NZ Nationals final on theSaturday and winning the Competition class as well as resetting the record for the car classification of AA/Altered. Not one to rest on their laurel’s Hay and the team are already talking about getting the car to run even faster and quicker next year.
Hay Family Racing would like to thank their competitors, track workers, race fans and the following who have helped directly with the car; RIPS Racing, Infomotive, Spec Rite Torque Convertors, Segedins of Dominion Road, Moran Motorsports, Chuck Mann, Bill Brinsden & Link Engine Management. | 2019-04-22T18:45:17 | http://dragway.co.nz/news/Queen-of-Speed-smashes-womens-Drag-Racing-Record-33.html |

Center for Rural Affairs Policy Associate Anna Johnson says the recently passed 2018 federal spending bill provides support for rural America in several important programs. The bill funds the government through Sept. 30, 2018.
NRCS funding for technical assistance increased to $874 million from 2017, Johnson explained, noting that this funding supports local NRCS offices, where farmers and ranchers access technical assistance for conservation practices.
“The bill funds the Value-Added Producer Grant Program, which allows farmers and ranchers to diversify their income by processing farm and ranch products. This program was funded at the same level as 2017, $15 million,” the release said.
The Rural Microentrepreneur Assistance Program (RMAP), which provides loan funds and technical assistance to rural entrepreneurs, remains at the funding level provided in the previous farm bill, $2.8 million, without additional support.
The Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program received its highest funding level in 30 years, at $35 million.
“We are very encouraged that Congress has shown this support for publicly funded research in sustainable agriculture,” Johnson said.
The Outreach and Assistance for Socially Disadvantaged and Veteran Farmers and Ranchers Program, also known as the 2501 Program, received $3 million in funding for 2018, which is in addition to the $10 million in funding provided by the farm bill. This program has allowed many farmers and ranchers from around the country, who are new to farm programs, to access U.S. Department of Agriculture support. | 2019-04-24T14:16:44 | https://www.porkbusiness.com/article/rural-programs-gain-ground-2018-spending-bill |
West LA Dem Club’s monthly General Meeting featured national author David Dayen discussing his new book “Chain Of Title”, an investigative explanation of the fraud committed by banks millions of times as they foreclosed on American homeowners.

More than 500 Cast Members from Walt Disney World Resort recently gathered at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort for the launch of the Women’s Inclusion Network, the latest of Disney’s diversity resource groups. The event, which highlighted leadership, empowerment, advocacy and development among women and men, encouraged Cast Members to achieve their greatest potential and create a legacy of inclusion.
“The mission of this group is to elevate and highlight the powerful influence of diverse women on our culture, people and market, as champions of education, development, mentorship and sponsorship,” said Maribeth Bisienere, senior vice president, Walt Disney World Park Operations.
The concept for the Women’s Inclusion Network (WIN) began in 2014 with a group of Walt Disney Imagineers who recognized a need to organize resources for the women in their division. During the event, Disney executives led a panel discussion that touched on intersectionality, success, challenges and self-worth.
The group’s launch event was attended not only by women from various Disney lines of business, but many men. | 2019-04-19T10:31:49 | https://thedisneydrivenlife.com/2018/04/20/womens-inclusion-network-inspires-engages-cast-members-walt-disney-world-resort/ |

So the Israelites did as Joshua commanded them. They took twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan, according to the number of the tribes of the Israelites, as the Lord had told Joshua; and they carried them over with them to their camp, where they put them down. Joshua set up the twelve stones that had been in the middle of the Jordan at the spot where the priests who carried the ark of the covenant had stood. And they are there to this day.
And the priests came up out of the river carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord. No sooner had they set their feet on the dry ground than the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and ran at flood stage as before. On the tenth day of the first month the people went up from the Jordan and camped at Gilgal on the eastern border of Jericho.
Rocks are not hard to find in the Holy Land. You can’t miss the rocks—they’re everywhere. There are huge stones and boulders, and smaller rocks and pebbles that fill the streams. From the Negev Desert in the south to the fertile fields of Galilee in the north, you see rocks everywhere you look. And not just rocks but piles of stones or monuments, just like the one described in Joshua 4.
Monuments are built not only to help those living at the time these events occurred to remember what happened, but also to remind future generations of what happened. The 12 stones taken out of Jordan and put on the west bank of the river were a reminder of God’s tremendous power on Israel’s behalf. It was important for God‘s people, Israel, to set up a memorial to help them never forget what God had done for them in the crossing of the Jordan River.
After 40 years of wandering in the wilderness, the people of God have at long last entered the Promised Land. Just as it took a miracle to get them out of Egypt, it took a miracle to get them into Canaan. Just as God parted the Red Sea for Moses, he parted the Jordan River for Joshua. Both miracles happened so that each generation would know the Lord was with them in their time of need. The Red Sea miracle met the need of the older generation; the Jordan River miracle met the need of the younger generation. And the same God performed both miracles.
Joshua 3 tells us that the Jordan River was at flood stage, which meant it was far too deep and far too swift for several million Jews and their livestock to safely cross over. So this is how it happened. Joshua told the priests to lift the Ark of the Covenant on their shoulder and step out into the water. The moment their feet touched the swirling muddy water, the river stopped flowing and the ground beneath their feet dried up. The whole nation passed in front of the priests and the Ark, crossing on dry ground into the Promised Land.
It was a mighty miracle of God—a moment to be remembered forever. But Joshua knew that even mighty miracles could be forgotten unless we do something to remember them. So he instructed 12 men—one from each tribe—to take a large stone from the middle of the riverbed where the priests were standing with the Ark of the Covenant. Each man was to take one large stone, put it on his shoulder, and carry it to the place where the Israelites would camp that night—a place called Gilgal. These 12 stones were to be arranged or piled as a memorial of how God had led His people across the Jordan River at floodtime.
Joshua had two things in mind when he had the people build a monument—a memorial—from those 12 stones.
Second, it was a testimony to the watching world. Verse 24 says, “He did this so that all the peoples of the earth might know that the hand of the LORD is powerful.” Those 12 stones reminded the nation of what God had done. They were visual evidence that in the moment of crisis, God had brought his people safely across the Jordan River. They testified to God’s faithfulness in the past so that future generations would know that they too could trust the Lord. When the pagans saw those stones, they would know that the God of Israel was a mighty God.
The fourth chapter of Joshua grapples with the fact that a basic component of life is a hope for the future that is based on the memories of the past- which help bring meaning to the present. Memories are important! They are the soil of our present experiences into which our roots sink deeply and from which we receive nourishment. The superstructures of our lives are built upon the foundation of our memories. We are instructed by our memories as to the most creative way to live in the present, and they help equip us with a positive hope for the future.
God through the centuries has given us signs, symbols and memorials. We need to be reminded of the importance of these and occasionally review them, both for ourselves, our children and our people. God gave Noah the rainbow as a perpetual reminder of His love. He gave Abraham and the Jews the circumcision as a sign of His covenant. God gave Miriam’s poetry to commemorate the crossing of the Red Sea. He gave the Ark, holding the law and the manna as symbols of His continuing provision. The Temple in Jerusalem reminded all of His dwelling. God gave us Himself, in human form in the miracle of the incarnation. The Lord Jesus gave us baptism as a symbol of His death, burial and resurrection which free us from any condemnation. The Lord’s Supper enables us to look back to the cross and forward to the marriage supper of the Lamb as we handle the bread and the cup.
There is a place for memorials. We dare not forget this, and we must keep this thought. These stones were to be an enduring sermon, directed not only for the ears but for the eyes. The pile of stones at Gilgal talks about different memories to the people of Israel as well as to the believers of today.
What are the lessons we can get from this passage?
We have a sacred responsibility to take the truth of God and see that it is passed down to the next generation.
Psalm 102:18 says, “Let this be written for a future generation, that a people not yet created may praise the LORD.” Those who are older have a special obligation to pass on the stories of what God did for them. “Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your might to all who are to come” (Psalm 71:18).
As Joshua makes clear, parents bear the first responsibility to teaching their children—and not just parents in general, but fathers in particular. Dads, God holds you accountable for the spiritual development of your children. Your sons and daughters look to you for answers. When they ask you, “What do these stones mean?” what will you say? When they ask you about the church, salvation, giving, the Bible, communion, dedication, prayer, holiness and sin, what will you answer?
The Christian movement is always only one generation from extinction. And every church is only one generation away from closing. If we do not pass along the faith to the rising generation, we have failed at our most important task.
We must tell them what God has done for us—and then we must tell them again and again until the stories are tattooed on their souls. Tell your children how God answered your prayers in times of trouble. Tell them how Jesus rescued you from a life of sin. Tell them how you saw God do amazing things—tell the stories and then tell them again.
Every generation needs its own stories. The older generation had the Red Sea, the younger generation had the Jordan River. Joshua was concerned about his generation. Though he was past middle age, he was looking to the future, thinking about the legacy of faith he would pass on to the next generation.
Christian parents and leaders, let us not think that everything will go well with our next generation or with our children when we don’t take up our responsibilities today.
We need to pass on the memory of God’s work because when memory fails, faith falters.
Kenneth Gangel writes, ― ‘Faith requires that we look forward, but it also requires that we look back.’ Someone has said, The greatest enemy of faith may be forgetfulness.’ If we forget how God has worked and provided in the past, we may fail to trust him for the future.
Israel‘s fathers and mothers failed to pass on to their children the truth of what God had done. As a result their children didn‘t know the LORD or what He had done for Israel. What God did in causing the waters of the Jordan to stand in a heap for Israel was forgotten, as a result the people of Israel forgot the LORD and rebelled against Him by doing what was right in their own eyes.
Just one generation later, the nation was involved in materialism, idolatry, and the worst sorts of immorality. We set our children up for spiritual meltdown when we fail to teach them what God has done for us.
As Godly parents we must return to some memories in order for us to pass them to our children. What are they?
1. The memories of places. Places for us that are every bit as spiritually significant as the pile of stone at Gilgal. We must return to the place of our dedication and commitment, your prayer closet so that our children’s eyes would see.
2. The memories of people. They could be your Sunday School teacher, mentor, pastor, leader, parents whom God used in your life. Remember them in the eyes of your children.
3. Experiences. Somehow or another we had wonderful experiences in the past that we can tell our children. Tell them how you called on the name of the Lord and He answered your prayer and they too will learn to call on the name of the Lord.
4. Physical gestures. It’s not all about going to the altar, kneeling down or raising a hand during the service but a gesture of commitment and love. I will never forget this person’s gesture. He shook my hands with folded money in his palm, tried to find a way for us to be restored. Even if I don’t get to see him today, I will never forget this person. That gesture reminds me to do the same to my leaders and members, that they too can do the same gesture to their people.
5. Mementos or souvenirs. God knows how we think. He knows that our memories are triggered by objects. Do you still keep that bookmark, book that has touched or challenged you? Until today I still long to read Kathryn Khulman’s book on, “I Believe In Miracles” because that book challenged my faith so much when I was in the field.
There are two commands here: Keep and meditate.
Keeping and meditating has something to do with memory. So it actually means, when we return to the Word we will become successful. Success means fruitfulness; not bad fruits but good fruits and these fruits are your children and those under your care.
We should not fail to model and teach God’s Word because it takes only one generation for degeneration to take place.
It seems impossible that in a couple of generations people could forget God and what He has done for them. But isn‘t that exactly what we see in many churches today?
In 1992, I was sent to Libertad, Antique as a missionary. We found out that there was actually an AG church there but it closed down years before we came. We tried to find the members but to our sadness, we only found 1 old and cold couple. They go to a church but the church they attended was a church that was there 30 years before we came and the number of people going into that church is getting lesser and lesser. Why? Many old members had already died, some are dying but no new members came including the old members’ children.
Deuteronomy 8:7-14 (NIV)—―For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land—a land with streams and pools of water, with springs flowing in the valleys and hills; a land with wheat and barley, vines and fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil and honey; a land where bread will not be scarce and you will lack nothing; a land where the rocks are iron and you can dig copper out of the hills. When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the LORD your God for the good land he has given you. Be careful that you do not forget the LORD your God, failing to observe his commands, his laws and his decrees that I am giving you this day. Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses and settle down, and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all you have is multiplied, then your heart will become proud and you will forget the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
Does God‘s warning of Israel remind you of anything similar today? What are we doing now that we are more blessed than before? Or maybe we are not that blessed yet but what are we doing while we are on the way to the blessing?
What are our children, spiritual children and potential spiritual children learning from us? Are we passing on the Word of God and testimony of His work to them?
The whole chapter of Joshua 4 reminds all parents, guardians, pastors, leaders and every believer that we should not fail to model and teach God’s Word because it takes only one generation for degeneration to take place. Pass on the memory of God’s work so that the next generation will not fail. Take the sacred responsibility which is the truth of God and see that it is passed down to the next generation.
My brothers and sisters, let’s not be so preoccupied with religiosity or legitimacy and don’t get so busy trying to get God to do what we want done that we lose sight of our responsibility to do what He wants done. | 2019-04-22T05:11:53 | http://www.evangel.org.ph/memorial-stones/ |

Is Technology Amplifying Human Potential, or Amusing Ourselves to Death?
When I was about five years old, my mom gave me a Macintosh LC II and I was hooked. Not to Facebook or the Internet, they didn’t exist yet. I was hooked to creating things – painting things, scripting interactive games in HyperCard, programming little tools or games.
Like the technology visionaries of the 1970’s and 80’s like Doug Engelbart, Alan Kay and Steve Jobs, I optimistically believed computers could be “bicycles for our minds” and amplify human potential.
And they did empower us. But today, in the year 2015, “empowerment” rarely feels like my day to day experience with technology.
Instead I feel constantly lured into distractions. I get sucked endlessly into email, distracting websites. I get bulldozed by interruptive text messages, back and forth scheduling, or find myself scrolling a website in a trance at 1am.
It’s scary how true this feels today. Huxley was concerned about what’s irresistible to our instincts. Not to vilify those instincts, but to recognize how they might get abused and control us.
Just like we have built-in gustatory instincts for salt, sugar and fat that are incredibly useful for survival on the Savannah but abused by our modern food environment, Huxley knew we have built-in instincts for novelty, curiosity gaps, social approval and fear of missing something important. These instincts are useful to have on the Savannah but our media environment adversarially exploits them to keep us glued to screens.
So why is our experience of the Internet and computing going this way? Towards distraction, and away from empowerment?
It’s because we live in an attention economy.
The attention economy means that no matter what a technology company aims to create – an informative news site like the New York Times, a meditation app to help people meditate, a social network, or an addictive game – they win by getting people to spend time. What starts as an honest competition to make useful things that people spend time on, devolves into a race to the bottom of the brain stem to maximize the time we spend.
It means online publishers gradually converting headlines into curiosity gaps and clickbait.
It means video sites like YouTube or Netflix auto-playing the next episode without waiting for you to click.
It means businesses sending push notifications and email to pretend you are miss something important if you don’t check.
And we’re vulnerable to these mechanisms. Knowing their tricks doesn’t inoculate us to their efficacy.
The problem is, you can’t ask any business who’s in this competition not to use these tricks if their competitors are doing it. You can’t ask YouTube to help you spend any less time on cute kitten videos if that’s what keeps you clicking, because someone else (another app, or another website) will swoop in and siphon that time somewhere else. Stock prices depend on keeping engagement numbers high. It’s only going to get worse as businesses compete.
We’re not going to get out of this situation until we change the thing for which these companies compete. From the currency of “Time Spent” to something else.
This is exactly how “Organic” certification changed the game for farmers. By defining and standardizing what makes “safe” cultivation practices (no pesticides), the farmers who wanted to do what’s “good for us” no longer got undercut by farmers who used unsafe pesticides to achieve lower prices. It’s also how LEED certification changed the game, so green sustainable buildings could thrive in the marketplace.
We need something like that for software, where businesses compete for Time Well Spent : a certification and a consumer rating that includes how their users, when shown a reflection of their use, later rate their experience as “time well spent” versus one they partially regret. Like Yelp reviews, but for experiences.
Imagine a world where “Time Well Spent” determines your stock price, your popularity in app stores, your ranking in news feeds, your ability to attract talented employees, your media attention, and funding possibilities. It’s a B-Corp movement for technology.
I used to believe we could just ask software designers to take on moral responsibility for how they shape the billions of minutes and hours of other people’s lives. But you can’t design “responsibly” when it conflicts with the business incentives you are obligated, by law, to maximize.
This is a long road, but we can get there by starting a new conversation. Instead of having the old conversation about self-control and waiting for cultural norms to adapt automatically, direct your friends and family to a new conversation.
Let’s set incentives to create a world where the Internet and my devices amplify human potential again, and where we can trust-fall into the whirlpool of technology and know that it is on our team to help us spend our time, and our lives, well.

Dear Brothers, good morning! In light of the scourge of sexual abuse perpetrated by ecclesiastics to the great harm of minors, I wanted to consult you, Patriarchs, Cardinals, Archbishops, Bishops, and Religious Superiors and Leaders, so that together we might listen to the Holy Spirit and, in docility to his guidance, hear the cry of the little ones who plead for justice.
In this meeting, we sense the weight of the pastoral and ecclesial responsibility that obliges us to discuss together, in a synodal, frank and in-depth manner, how to confront this evil afflicting the Church and humanity. The holy People of God look to us, and expect from us not simple and predictable condemnations, but concrete and effective measures to be undertaken. We need to be concrete. So we begin this process armed with faith and a spirit of great parrhesia, courage and concreteness.
As a help, I would share with you some important criteria formulated by the various Episcopal Commissions and Conferences – they came from you and I have organized them somewhat. They are guidelines to assist in our reflection, and they will now be distributed to you. They are a simple point of departure that came from you and now return to you. They are not meant to detract from the creativity needed in this meeting.
In your name, I would also like to thank the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and the members of the Organizing Committee for their outstanding and dedicated work in preparing for this meeting. Many thanks! Finally, I ask the Holy Spirit to sustain us throughout these days, and to help us to turn this evil into an opportunity for awareness and purification. May the Virgin Mary enlighten us as we seek to heal the grave wounds that the scandal of paedophilia has caused, both in the little ones and in believers. Thank you.
21. Where it has not yet been in place, establish a group easily accessible for victims who want to report any crimes. Such an organization should have a certain autonomy with respect to the local ecclesiastical authority and include expert persons (clerics and laity) who know how to express the Church’s attention to those who have been offended by improper attitudes on the part of clerics.
*** On this point, Abp. Scicluna noted in the afternoon press briefing that universal Canon law now has the minimum age for marriage for girls at 14 and for boys at 16. He said the Pope wishes the age to be uniformly 16 for both boys and girls, adding that national Episcopal conferences have had the power to change the minimum age, given circumstances and the cultures in their countries. | 2019-04-21T01:18:21 | https://joansrome.wordpress.com/category/21-guidelines-protecting-minors/ |

Watch video interview here. Joseph Mbura, a chemistry and math teacher at the W.B. Saul High School for Agricultural Sciences in the Roxborough section of Philadelphia has loved gardening since his boyhood days in the Kenyan countryside where crops were grown both for food and a source of income. He started a small organic garden on a section of the school’s spacious grounds to show his students that they, too, can grow their own food. He raises a traditional black bean plant for its succulent leaves which then gets steamed and mixed with onions, tomatoes and spices in a beef or chicken stew. In another plot he has just cleared he will grow “chinsaga,” another green. By Mbura’s side is his daughter Daisy who has her own garden at home and cradled in his arm, his younger daughter, Lily, who he hopes will follow the growing tradition.

I went to a party in West Virginia and it was a guy’s retirement party. And he had this t-shirt on and it said “Glasgow, Scotland” because he was in the military, he was in the Marines, or Navy that one, one of three. And we’re having a few drinks and someone says, you should go up to the microphone, it’s Karaoke and say you’re Kaley’s son from Scotland. I said, “I can’t do that.” He says, “Come on.” So eventually we had a whip around. And the whip around was up to sixty dollars and being Scotch, you can’t turn down that money. So I went up to the microphone. I was like, “It’s finally great to meet my Dad bringing me here to meet at his retirement party.” Half the party knew I was doing it but the other half didn’t. So it was like, “Chhhh!” But it turned out the guy knew, he found out this was going to happen. He stood up, come up and just hugged us for a good five minutes. I was standing there, I didn’t know he knew. So I was kind of thinking this is great, he thinks, this guy doesn’t know. And then his mother comes from nowhere so gives us a hug. “It’s great to meet you now.” “Oh, you too.” And eventually I found out they knew. But later on I’m talking to this girl at the party and getting a bit closer to her. It’s going all right. A guy comes up to me, “You all know she’s your cousin.” And I’m like, yeah. “It’s alright now, you’re in West Virginia.” I thought it was brilliant"

By the time Sam Rockwell shows up in Loitering with Intent, if you’re not vicariously stressed out like our lead writer, then you will be. He is one of the many characters – indeed, characters in every sense of the word – that finds a way to a country home where two best friends and colleagues have holed up to write a screenplay set to make their careers.
Dominic (Michael Godere) is the more hopeful, maybe of the pair, as his bartending friend Raphael (Ivan Martin), at 40, maybe has given up one being a Hollywood success story. Nevertheless, a chance meeting has them with 10 days to make their detective story into a script with a shot at a movie, and stealing away for physical, mental, and emotional space is sure to help.
This comedic tale tends more towards the farcical than the sincere as a trove of friends and strangers set upon this retreat by accident or fate. Physical proximity may be the only things these caricatures share, because everyone is in their own absurd world with a warped, monomaniacal vision of what exists around them. There’s a surfer, a coquette, a feuding couple, and crises all around, and everyone has feels a singular change will better their life – and everyone is jealous of the next. At least the men are.
This screenplay begins to take a backseat though, as alcohol mixes with feelings and inhibitions run wild amid fear of the unpredictable future and uncertain present. The developments are neither surprising nor novel, but genuine nonetheless, worth investing in due to the likeable characters; even if they are more thinly drawn than layered.
Rockwell stands out, as he always does, playing this role of loveable gnat, of indefatigable man-child (see Laggies, The Way, Way Back). Marissa Tomei is Gigi, another wayward soul teetering on the line between endless bliss and losing complete control: she and Rockwell’s character make a fun couple worth of a spinoff.
The title of fare directed by Adam Rapp and written by our two male leads is fitting, almost in a negative way however. That is, nothing much happens save for fleeting outpouring of emotions and romances, and drunken, defenseless conversations that may or may not touch on something meaningful. Charming, entertaining, and fairly empty, the ‘loitering’ is there for sure, but it’s lacking in ‘intent.
Beauty and the Beast is sure to join the ranks of the original, pleasing audiences for years to come.

The parents of a bullied 10-year-old boy who is brain dead and on life support after trying to take his own life have told of their grief.
Landen Lewis tried to take his own life in his bedroom after returning home from school in Nevada, Missouri, last Friday, the Daily Mail reports.
He gave no warning to his mother Britany and stepfather Jon about what he was planning and was even "giddy", they said.
Now, he is brain dead in the hospital. His parents are about to turn off his life support and say they will donate his organs to other children, something he'd expressed interest in in the past.
Since his suicide attempt, the family says they have been told by his friends that he was being "picked on" by teachers.
It is unclear how long after he tried to take his own life his parents found him.
Describing finding him, Britany said: "I was like no. It's not real. It's not real. All I could think was I've got to get him to breathe.
"I've got to get him to breathe."
Bryant Elementary School, where he was a student, has also been in touch to tell her that he had been in trouble repeatedly and was removed from class several times but teachers would not tell her why, she said.
"I didn't even know he'd been in trouble three times until the principal had called me and told me that she had pulled him out of class three times and wouldn't tell me why," his mother told Fox 4.
The boy's mother and stepfather have said repeatedly that he was bullied, though it is not clear if they mean he was victimized by school staff or by other children.
"My beautiful intelligent baby boy was an old soul, he would help anyone who needed help and would give you the shirt off his back.
"He wanted to take everyone's pain away and he wanted no one to feel alone.
"My baby was someone who could carry a conversation with you about the universe.
"What happened to my child could have been prevented had everyone just been nice to him once or twice," Britany said in a Facebook post on Monday.
She went on to say that while she did her best, the school "failed" him.
"As parents we trust a school to take our child for 8 hrs a day in these 8 hrs they are suppose to expand our child's mind and help them grow as little humans.
"The school failed my son and I pray no other child has to go through what my little precious boy has.
"Bullying is not okay no matter what age, and grown people should never bully a child.
"Love your babies hold them close and whisper a prayer that no child ever go through this," she said.
A spokesman for Bryant Elementary School did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com's inquiries on Wednesday morning.
They previously declined to go into details of the boy's death, telling Fox 4 they could not discuss them because they were limited by privacy laws.
According to his mother, Landen had once told that her that he wanted to donate his organs to other children if he ever died.
"His step dad made a joke that went like, 'I plan to use all of mine but they are welcome to whats left' when he put the organ donor on his driver's license and so Landen asked about it and after explaining it all to him, he said that if anything ever happened to him that he would want to donate to," she told DailyMail.com on Wednesday. | 2019-04-21T06:34:00 | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/news/article.cfm?c_id=6&objectid=12156809 |
James Beard didn’t live in Greenwich Village for nothing. Born in Portland, Oregon, in 1903, his earliest culinary memories included having his mother and the family’s Chinese cook make food for him when he came down with malaria at the age of three. After a stint of living in Paris, he returned stateside to attend Reed College back in Portland, where he was kicked out for engaging in homosexual activity (those who know Reed College today may let out a guffaw).
Nevertheless, his gayness remained an open secret, unknown to most of his millions of admirers, until he came out in his autobiography late in life. Looking over these incredibly clever quotes, which seem to have been written yesterday, we wonder if he wasn’t sent back to the 1950s in a sort of foodie time machine to pave the way for us today.
Of him, the also-queer New York Times food editor and critic Craig Claiborne noted, “Physically he was the connoisseur’s connoisseur. He was a giant panda, Santa Claus and the Jolly Green Giant rolled into one. On him, a lean and slender physique would have looked like very bad casting.” Beard passed away in 1985.
Here, then, are our 10 favorite James Beard quotes.

Retirement SaleIn case you missed the news in the Sweet Shoppe newsletter, we are saying goodbye to two of our long-time designers. Darcy Baldwin & Julie Billingsley have made the decision to retire from digital designing to pursue opportunities in other fields that will take their careers in new and exciting directions! I've loved getting to work with these ladies and wish them both nothing but the best. Both Julie's & Darcy's stores are 50% off through next Saturday (May 31).

Across the nation, fishermen and scientists are observing notable shifts in the ocean ecosystem and dramatic changes on the water. This series of four short films examines how the fishing industry is dealing with climate change, including warming waters, lack of biodiversity, and ocean acidification. The fourth film introduces shellfish aquaculture as an example of economic diversification for fishing communities. The films take place in Maine, Alaska, and Florida, and were produced by the Island Institute’s Scott Sell. | 2019-04-19T09:09:41 | https://www.rocklandstrand.com/news/climate-change-four-short-films-and-discussion-about-local-effects-climate-change |

Things Always Get Worse | Hujambo!
Also, there are no notes for the class; all I have is a ten-week course outline. The final exams take place in about five weeks from now. Oh, and she has a job in Nairobi, so she is only free one day a week, a day which I already have two lectures. She came yesterday and asked me if I would give her some notes for the class so she could read them at home. Haha, what notes? I’ll be making those, along with the notes for my other new class, the day before each lecture!
Add on my other responsibilities at the college and then my chores at the house: buying food, cooking food, cleaning, washing clothes. When will I ever have time to watch Scrubs?
That sounds like all three of us benefit! But then who will buy you coffee?
Well I don’t know about you but I never drink just one cup of coffee… problem solved.
well don’t you just love how carol comes up with her crazy ideas that leave you aaaaaaah!.i say help the student although you are in a tight spot.
I got a fat 400pg Active Directory book on my desk I’m learning for work. The test to get certified is a couple G’s … is it me or am I always getting shafted trying to learn something! | 2019-04-26T15:56:51 | https://alaninkenya.org/2009/02/11/things-always-get-worse |
The Vaulters are one of Endless Legend's eight playable factions.
The true origin of the Vaulters is lost even to themselves. Their history, as they teach it to their children, begins within a great, metal habitat lodged beneath the surface of Auriga. Naturally conservative and wary, the Vaulters have limited relationships with the other peoples of Auriga.
