A Norwegian speciedaler with Christian IV of Denmark on the obverse and a crowned lion with a curved halberd on the reverse.
In his annual speech, the Governor of the Bank of Norway recently said that oil prices have fallen sharply over the past six months. Even if prices edge up again, we have been reminded of the uncertainty of future revenues. The development of an advanced oil service industry has been an industrial adventure. The oil age is far from over. But activity in the petroleum sector has passed the peak. In addition, we must be prepared for lower returns in the oil industry. The key to economic progress is the ability to restructure.
Money is the core of central banking. The first known Norwegian coin is a penny attributed to Olav Trygvason, around the year 1000. The Bank of Norway was established June 14, 1816. The hall where Governor Øystein Olsen gave his speech featured an exhibit covering the monetary history of modern Norway. It begins with the speciedaler from 1817 and continues up to the current banknote series. The new banknotes are intended to function as a calling card for Norway; the choice of the sea as the theme embraces both our past and present.
A Norwegian skilling from 1816.
According to the governor, the large revenues from the oil industry have been managed soundly. The discovery of oil in the North Sea provided ample opportunities for Norwegian business and industry. It required development of new technologies. We had to build up expertise in our own country. The activities provided a boost to other industries.
The recent fall in oil prices by nearly 50 percent comes on top of a planned adjustment to a lower activity level in the oil sector. Low growth in the world economy and more energy-efficient production methods is part of the picture. In the U.S., oil production rose by more than 50 percent. The additional supply from U.S. shale oil is more than twice as high as Norwegian oil production. The fall in oil prices is a positive factor for the world economy. In the U.S., the recovery is on a firm footing. An expansionary monetary policy appears to be having the intended effect and both consumption and investment have turned up again. Unemployment has come down. For Norway the answer is restructuring!

A number of Apple services are temporarily offline, according to the support page, which reported iCloud issues starting around 12:30 a.m. Eastern.
A number of Apple services were temporarily offline for some users this morning, including iMessage and a number of iCloud features.
Apple's support page reported an "Issue" with five of its approximately three dozen services around 12:30 a.m. Eastern.
Some users were locked out of iCloud Documents, Photo Stream, iPhoto Journals, or Backup & Restore; the iMessage application also experienced problems sending or downloading attachments.
Less than 1 percent of users were affected by the outage, though, as AppleInsider pointed out, that number could actually be in the millions, since iCloud now has more than 300 million members.
By noon Eastern, Apple's support page was reporting normal service for all of its products. Cupertino also had to contend with an hour-long iTunes issue that prevented users from making purchases. Additionally, a late-Wednesday glitch meant some people could not create a new Apple ID.
A similar outage hit iCloud users in February, when all services including mail, contacts, calendar, photo stream, and backup were rendered unavailable for about 11 percent of users, or 25 million people.
Trouble struck again in June, knocking one-fifth of the service's users offline for more than an hour.
Those frustrated with consistent iCloud outages may take reprieve in the new version expected next month as part of the iOS 7 update. For more, see PCMag's Hands On With iCloud 2013 Beta, as well as the Apple iOS 7: The Most Exciting Features slideshow above. | 2019-04-22T22:36:05Z | null | 438.3 | 1,639 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
Vern Monroe has died. He departed unwillingly on February 3, 2013 following a long siege with cancer, which eventually won the battle over his indomitable spirit. He died at home at the ocean’s edge in Newport Beach at the age 87 years young. He is survived by his son Stephen of Costa Mesa and his dear friend Ann Cullen of Newport Beach.
A native Californian, Vern was born in 1925 to Ruth Engel Monroe and Vernon Stephen Monroe in North Hollywood. He attended public schools and graduated from the University of Southern California in 1947, and enlisted in the Coast Guard during the Korean conflict.
Vern’s unique creative spirit was kindled early-on in an advertising career as an account executive with BBD&0, but it was in the field of commercial real estate in Orange County that he enjoyed years of success as an innovative and successful property developer.
Vern was a passionate collector of antique cars and extravagant boats, most of which he piloted himself wearing his broad-brimmed Panama hats. His unique ability to find the comic or ironic in most situations made him an amusing conversationalist. His erudition on arcane topics could bemuse interlocutors unaccustomed to his sardonic humor.
Above all, Vern Monroe was a lover of life. He refused to let his intermittent yet progressive illness slow his pace or daunt his spirit. He was one of a kind who will be sorely missed. | 2019-04-22T06:10:25Z | null | 271.1 | 1,395 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
Vancouver is a looker. Not only is the outdoorsy city bookmarked by mountains and ocean, it’s filled with sparkling green-glass skyscrapers, art-filled urban parks — and gardens, beautiful gardens. There are lots of them everywhere, from the living roof on the convention center and colorful corner flower beds, to leafy green spaces like Queen Elizabeth Park and Coal Harbour’s chic, bustling waterfront. But here are Vancouver’s most lovely gardens of all.
VanDusen Botanical Garden is sprawling, filled with ponds, waterfalls, sculptures and art, intimate little garden nooks, grassy knolls, and swaths of blooms. The splashy rhododendrons alone, flowering in April and May, are worth a visit. Over 55 acres, you’ll find lots of flitting birds, hundreds of global varieties of plants, formal gardens, mini forests, a vegetable plot, pavilions, and an Elizabethan hedge maze. Aiming to be a leader in biodiversity and sustainability, VanDusen also houses a sleek LEED-platinum visitor center, a light-filled structure of rammed earth designed with a living roof to resemble an orchid from above. An added bonus? The gardens are just as spectacular in winter, especially during the holidays, when the garden is illuminated with a million twinkle lights and festive displays — a true wonderland. Spend a whole day, then browse the well curated gift shop and dine in the gourmet café.
The authentic Japanese Nitobe Memorial Garden includes a tea house.
Japanese gardens emanate tranquility. Such is the case at the University of British Columbia’s Nitobe Memorial Garden. On the lovely Point Grey campus, it is one of the most authentic traditional Japanese gardens in North America, and in the top five outside Japan. Created by architects and landscapers recommended by the Japanese government, “I am in Japan,” commented the country’s emperor when he visited. The 2.5 acres include a not-often-seen tea garden and ceremonial tea house, plus koi ponds, waterfalls, streams, and stone lanterns. Peruse the symbolic, intentional placement of each tree and bush, and enjoy the harmonious effect. Especially stunning are the ethereal cherry blossoms in spring, purple irises in summer, and fiery maples in autumn. Learn the Way of Tea or join a formal Tea Ceremony.
Some 3,500 bushes adorn Stanley Park’s elegant Rose Garden, a park favorite since the 1920s. It’s a place where you’ll want to spend a sunny afternoon — on a picnic blanket on the grass enjoying the showy flowers in bright crimsons, pinks, yellows, oranges, purples, and peach. Stroll under the arbor to take in the divine scents of climbing roses and clematis. While you’re there, check out the nearby Ted and Mary Greig Rhododendron Garden, too. Complete your day with a picnic in the park and a walk along the Seawall to Coal Harbour and Downtown Vancouver.
Chinatown's Sun Yat-Sen is as much community center as serene garden.
Historic Chinatown’s Dr. Sun Yat-Sen garden, a city landmark, is an oasis of calm and a place to appreciate Chinese art and culture. Built for the city’s Expo 86 world showcase, 53 craftsmen imported 950 boxes of materials to create an authentic classical Chinese garden, the first in 15th century Ming Dynasty style outside of China. It showcases 160 plant species over one-half acre with koi filled ponds, waterfalls, bridges, winding paths, and pavilions all enclosed by pristine white walls. Alongside pine, cypress, and bamboo, some penjing trees found here are more than 200 years old. Part garden, community center, museum, and gallery, locals cherish Sun Yat-Sen — a National Geographic No. 1 city garden in 2012 — and visit often for workshops, celebrations and events, such as the annual Chinese New Year and Mid-Autumn Moon Festival. Join them!
The oldest at a Canadian university, the University of British Columbia’s Botanical Garden has been around since 1916. It’s also delightful and educationally oriented — with 7,500 plant, flower, shrub, and tree varietals — and a picturesque forest and water and city view setting. The garden features a comprehensive collection of 50,000 plants from temperate zones around the world and numerous distinct gardens, including arbor, formal rose, contemporary, Asian, alpine, organic food, herb, rainforest, North American, and physic (for doctors and pharmacists). If you feel so inclined, there are regular workshops, plus Q&A with horticulturalists, or join one of the many events including the fall’s popular apple festival, poetry in the garden, or the opera tea series.
And while you’re in town, you must experience the city’s jewel, Stanley Park. Larger than New York’s Central Park, this beautiful space features an urban forest of old-growth trees, a huge network of trails, lakes, lawns, an ocean-view seawall path, restaurants, beaches, and flower-filled gardens.

Where once the campus amenities arms race was waged over luxury dorms and recreation facilities, now colleges and universities are building deluxe structures for the generation of wonderful ideas. They and their partners in industry are pouring millions into new buildings for business, engineering and applied learning that closely resemble the high-tech workplace, itself inspired by the minimally partitioned spaces of the garage and the factory.
If the Silicon Valley creation myth starts in Steve Jobs’s garage (now a designated historic site), the creation myth on campuses starts at M.I.T.’s Building 20. That warren of D.I.Y. offices, allocated to researchers from across the university, produced, through proximity, many breakthrough encounters in its 50-plus years. The building was demolished in 1998, replaced with Frank Gehry’s Stata Center, one of the first campus structures that tries to recreate Building 20’s creative ferment.
What architects take from Building 20 is not its ramshackle aesthetic — though some believe less polish provides more freedom — but the importance of mixing disciplines, of work performed out in the open, and of transition zones like hallways and staircases as sites for productive run-ins.
Though studies have shown that proximity and conversation can produce creative ideas, there’s little research on the designs needed to facilitate the process. Still, there are commonalities. | 2019-04-26T16:19:28Z | null | 412.1 | 1,426 | null | 0.869565 | [

These data identify, in general, the areas of final critical habitat for Taraxacum californicum (California taraxacum).
The GIS files and their associated coordinates are not the legal source for determining the critical habitat boundaries of species described in this dataset, but are used to identify areas which contain the physical and biological features essential to the conservation of the species or areas otherwise determined to be essential. Inherent in any dataset used to develop graphical representations, are limitations of accuracy as determined, among others, the source, scale and resolution of the data. While the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service makes every effort to represent the critical habitat shown with data as completely and accurately as possible (given existing time and resource constraints), the USFWS gives no warranty, expressed or implied, as to the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of these data. In addition, the USFWS shall not be held liable for improper or incorrect use of the data described and/or contained herein. Graphical representations provided by the use of these data do not represent a legal description of the critical habitat boundary. The user is referred to the critical habitat textual description in the appropriate final rule for this species as published in the Federal Register. These data are to be used only in the context of the definition and purpose of critical habitat. This primarily relates to Section 7 consultation under the Endangered Species Act. These data may be used for planning and land management purposes. They are not to be used for legal survey use. Please refer to Federal Register Citation Number 73FR47706, published 20080814 for the legal critical habitat information.
The critical habitat was initially digitized based on 1:24,000 USGS quadrangle maps, digital orthophoto quarter quadrangle images, species information from various sources, and the staff biologists' knowledge of the habitat and hydrology in the area.

Scout and Fable is a gorgeous brand that makes handcrafted wooden furniture and imaginative play items for the under fives grounded on the ethos of imaginative play, un un-commercialised childhood and traditional craft. The style is slighty retro and crafty yet so modern, functional and fun and can take a battering from a toddler-tornado!
We fell in love with the playkitchen with supercute details but the sandtable (which can be used inside or outside) is quite original too and we highly recommend you to have a look at their kidschairs which we believe will become new design classics.
Scout and Fable are also happy to discuss bespoke comissions. | 2019-04-25T12:04:37Z | null | 653.4 | 653 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
What exactly is yoga swing exercise? To understand, it’s necessary to know what a yoga swing is. There are a number of different types of, so called, yoga swings, but some stand out above the rest.
The yoga swings created by Tone Cardenas are the ones I’m most familiar with. The original yoga swing was created by Tone and he’s come out with updated models that offer a more broad experience for the user. I personally use an Omni Swing Deluxe and you can read about those on this website and see some of the cool and fun things you can do on one to get in better shape.
Get a 5% discount on your yoga swing with coupon code YogaSye (one word).
Click Here to Buy Your Yoga Swing Now.
See some of the yoga swing exercises in the videos I’ve created for the Yoga Swing Chronicles on the pages below.
One of the reasons I really like yoga swing exercises a lot is because a yoga swing allows you a range of motion you can’t get without one. You can do many variations of push-ups, pull-ups and dips, in addition to a number of inverted exercises. There are straps, you can put your arms and legs into, that allow the wide range of movement.
Because so much movement is possible you have to engage many of your stabilizer muscles to keep yourself steady, while your doing certain exercises. I’ve found the engagement of all the extra muscles to be stimulating to the body. You can really wake up areas of your body that weren’t getting worked much.
In addition to the number of different kinds of yoga swing exercises possible, you can get yourself into a number of positions that allow you to gain flexibility as well. What I’ve found cool is, you can get in some good stretches while engaging muscle groups at the same time. This keeps a person from becoming to muscle bound.
If you want to buy a yoga swing you can save 5% with the Coupon Code, YogaSye. You can get the savings by entering the coupon code during your online check out; Or you can use the coupon over the phone if that’s how your doing your order.
Are you ready to start doing your own yoga swing exercise?

This book offers a new approach to parenting that has the power to reverse the trend of external direction in our children and help parents bring up empathetic, self-confident, moral, independent thinkers. Children who are externally directed make decision based on the peer groups, violent movies, sexually explicit television shows, and rap lyrics that permeate their lives. When children are self-directed, on the other hand, they use their power of reason like a sword to cut through the jungle of external influences. Fortunately, the author shows us, it is never too late to foster in our children the ability to weigh options, consider sources, and think for themselves.

I am fortunate enough to have married a wonderful woman and her family lives in Sonoma County, about 70 miles north of San Francisco, CA. Sonoma County is a beautiful place to visit and I expect we will be traveling there on a regular basis. So, with that trip in mind I decided to compare the CO2 emitted when traveling via airplane and automobile between Santa Fe, NM and Sonoma County, CA.
The mileage from Santa Fe to Sonoma County is just under 1200 miles according to Mapquest, which was quite close to the mileage we recorded. We drove a 2005 Toyota Corolla with automatic transmission, which has an EPA rated 30 mpg city and 38 mpg highway. Our road-trip average was 36.34 mile per gallon which was calculated over our entire vacation. Driving 1200 miles at an average 36.34 mpg equals 33.02 gallons of gasoline burned. According to the Energy Information Administration each gallon of gasoline you burn produces 19.564 pounds of CO2. So for a one way road-trip to Sonoma County we generated 646 pounds of CO2 over the course of the two-day drive.
For a one-way, non-stop flight from Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ) to Oakland International Airport (OAK) Webflyer.com calculates a distance of 885 miles, which is definitely shorter than the driving distance. According to the helpful folks at Southwest Airlines that non-stop flight from ABQ to OAK would be one hour and 58 minutes of flying time. Over that flight a 737-300 jet fully-loaded with 137 passengers would burn 10,363 pounds of jet fuel. One gallon of jet fuel weighs 6.7 lbs so 10,363 lbs would equal 1546.7 gallons burned in total. My wife and I would be accountable for 2/137ths of that total or 22.58 gallons of jet fuel burned. Again, the Energy Information Administration says that burning one gallon of jet fuel generates 21.095 pounds of CO2. So flying from ABQ to OAK would generate 476.32 pounds of CO2 for two people on a 737-300 full with 137 passengers.
Now this doesn't take into account our drive to and from the airports. So, the driving would add an additional 131 miles at 36.34 mpg using another 3.60 gallons of gasoline. Burning those 3.60 gallons would generate an additional 70.53 lbs of CO2.
I don't know what you expected from that extended algebraic word problem, but I was somewhat surprised that the plane flight generated less CO2 for two passengers than driving did. Admittedly, this is a best case scenario for the plane with a full flight, no delays, stops or the like. Out of curiosity I decided to ask the folks at Southwest Airlines how much jet fuel would be burned if there was an intermediate stop at the Las Vegas airport (LAS). Flying from ABQ to LAS to OAK would burn 14,200 lbs of jet fuel or 2,119.40 gallons. Assuming that the flight was full for both legs of the flight two people would have a share of 30.94 gallons. Burning those 30.94 gallons would generate 652.68 lbs of CO2. Wow! Just one stopover bumps the total CO2 generated well over the driving total.
Looking at the math above you can see how different factors affect how much CO2 is generated. A plane that isn't fully booked divides the CO2 responsibility between fewer passengers. Just one stop on a flight adds considerably to the CO2 generated. Driving a more or less fuel-efficient car will make a large difference in your CO2 emissions. Flying certainly can be much faster and more efficient than driving over long distances but, it does cut down on the road-trip sightseeing. So, travel as efficiently as you can and enjoy the trip. | 2019-04-20T08:40:33Z | null | 1,061 | 3,523 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

The Challenge: As we reported last week, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is an extremely effective way to create customer intent. To generate customer demand online, a particularly effective tool is Search Engine Marketing, or SEM.
SEM captures the moment when customers are directly communicating their intent. Of course, when a customer searches for "wireless speakers” on Google or Bing, they may simply want a picture of one, or information about their history. But, there is a very good chance that they are looking to buy one at that moment. The same applies to nearly every kind of product or service, including ones that are very costly and require more involved levels of information. In those cases, SEM can help drive sales leads rather than direct purchases.
Among the most prominent brands when it comes to paid search are travel sites like Orbitz, Expedia, Priceline, and TripAdviser.
Not all marketers can make 10-figure investments in SEM, but Priceline’s results clearly demonstrate SEM’s continuing growth potential.
You cannot improve your search marketing campaigns if you don't know exactly how they're performing. To track performance, you need to implement conversion tracking, which tracks everything from impressions to clicks to conversions. For the best results, implement a tool like Google Analytics that allows you to track conversions across all major search networks.
The goal of a search marketing campaign is not to generate clicks or to appear highest in the paid search results. The goal of SEM is to generate conversions. To do so, pause or reduce bids on low-performing keywords, rewrite ads that don't drive high-quality traffic, and adjust landing pages to make converting as simple as possible.
The simplest way to select keywords is to choose a handful of "Broad" match terms. By selecting "book" as a "Broad Match" term, for instance, you'd effectively be adding "books," "travel books," "deals on books," "books by Stephen King" – and hundreds of other phrases – to your campaign. To home in on a specific audience, use narrower "Phrase" or "Exact" keywords. For more details on keyword match types, check out this extensive tutorial from Search Engine Land. | 2019-04-24T00:56:01Z | null | 326.1 | 2,203 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
Workflows are the core of business process management. It is important that you develop workflows according to best practices.
Workflow visualization affects and aids the collaboration on workflows between cross-functional teams.
Develop an effective naming convention.
When possible, add swimlanes to divide the workflow. Swimlanes are intended to divide the workflow by user or department. Swimlanes help optimize workflows, because you can easily identify areas with too many activities.
Add comments and labels to make the workflow easier to understand (especially for business users).
Do not add too many empty activities for visual effect. This can cause inflated DB tables with waste data, and performance issues. Only use empty activities when necessary, for example, before split activities, and to ensure clear layout.
If you create the data model first, plan your data model during the requirements stage.
Select appropriate types for the input you are expecting.
We recommend using a primary key that consts of a single field.
We recommend that you define the display field yourself, and not use the default, since it appears in several places.
Use caution if you decide to share activity tables between workflows. When you share tables between workflows, the data is merged into a single table. This can cause the table to grow in size, unnecessarily.
Do not place too many activity views on the same UACT table. This can cause the table to grow in size, unnecessarily. Each field in each table adds a column to the table, and combo boxes add two columns.
Tables should contain a maximum of 40-50 columns.
Consider whether a field should be nullable. If the field is not nullable, and the user does not enter a value, an error occurs. On the other hand, if the field is not nullable, it ensures that the field is populated. To prevent an error, you can place a validator on this field in the view.
Lookup tables do not support multiple keys.
Keep the names that you selected during the design. Since the lookup table is accessed by a path, if you change names in the lookup table, the reference breaks.
Use sub-views to create reusable components, or to logically divide the form.
Use caution when you use a sub-view from a different workflow. The sub-view's data model is saved with the other workflow. Therefore, if you need to export the workflow, you must export the other workflow.
We recommend not changing the names of workflows, views, and activities because the path to the sub-view might cause errors. Spend time during the design stage to select appropriate workflow names.
Consider using sub-views for header records, such as customer details, which remain consistent throughout the workflow. Since the view is maintained in a single place, you can accelerate process development and make maintenance easier.
Do not embed sub-views within sub-views, within sub-views. Do not make the solution overly complex to understand, investigate, and troubleshoot.
Consider using workflow variables to expose key parameters, or to control logic, so they are simple to maintain.

How Do I Check My Contractor's License?
How Do I Check My Contractors License?
The first thing I would like to point out, when it comes to checking your contractor's license number and making sure that they are actually licensed in your state, to perform the work that you are requesting, is that there are some states that still don't require a contractor's license.
You might be surprised, but there are still some places that don't require building inspections. So in other words, depending upon which state you live in, will determine whether or not the person performing the work, needs to have a contractor's license.
Let me describe the process for checking your contractor's license in the state of California. This is where I reside in and I’m a license General Building Contractor.
If you have access to the Internet, you can simply type in the Contractor State license Board in any search engine, and it will take you to the government of the State of California's website.
You will find a link on their main webpage that will take you to a place where you can check to see if your contractor is licensed in your state. This will usually require the company's name or their state license number to get the right information.
State license Board for information regarding the status of your contractor.
If you live in another state, I would suggest that you go to their website, and look for information about checking your contractor State license number. You could always call your local building department, city or county government offices for more help.
I don't ever recommend using someone, especially someone that you don't know personally, to work on your home without the proper licensing. If you use someone without a license, you might be able to take any action, if you have any problems with your unlicensed contractor. | 2019-04-23T02:40:19Z | null | 219.6 | 1,845 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
Mostly old bushvines planted in the 1950’s and 1960’s to Chenin Blanc, Cinsault and Grenache. The vines are unirrigated and farmed as biologically as possible. The vineyards are planted on north, east, and south facing slopes bringing tremendous variety to the fruit. Fruit from other selected sites within the appellation are also purchased to complete the final blends.
Three distinct types of granites are found here, namely the Paardeberg-, Lammershoek- and Lemoenfontein-type plus different sub-surface geology including clay, weathered granite and some serious shale.
All fruit, red and white, is whole bunch-handled so no crushing or destemming takes place. The whites are tranferred directly to old casks or into concrete tanks for fermentation and ageing. The red grapes are fermented in concrete tanks and open wooden kuipe. The post fermentation maceration is lengthy – up to 4 months -whereafter the wines are put to cask or 4000L foudres. No additions are done to the grapes other than sulfur before and after fermentation.
The great old wines of South Africa and the discarded varietals, the bottles of which can be found in the forgotten corners of old cellars before modern methods and fame came along and changed the purity of the wines. | 2019-04-19T16:15:28Z | null | 504.9 | 1,254 | null | 0.522329 | [

A cultural landmark before Lebanon’s civil war transformed it into a nest of snipers, Beirut’s ‘Yellow House’ is once again set to play a crucial role in the city. Built in a neo-Ottoman style in the 1920s, in September it is set to be re-opened as a ‘memory museum’ - its bullet-riddled walls and bunkered positions overlooking the city’s notorious ‘Green Line’ maintained for posterity.

Hi! Kim from Katydid Cards here with the final YouTube video on water-coloring.
I tried no-line water-coloring not too long ago and I loved it. I can't wait to try it again soon.
I was really surprised at how easy this technique was and yet it looks just like a real water-colored image.
Hope you give this a try and be sure to share it in our water-coloring challenge...you still have a few days left. You can find all the details here.
Great video! Not a total fan of water coloring but these video's make it look so nice! | 2019-04-21T05:07:59Z | null | 379.4 | 524 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

“We cannot abandon our historic connection just because of a political decision,” the NRT news outlet quoted KRG spokesperson Safin Dizayee as saying to Jame Kurdi.
Kurdistan and Iran have common economic, political, security, social, and cultural interests, according to the KGR spokesman.
Kurdistan plans to honor all existing contracts but the decision is not entirely in the hands of the Kurdistan government, Dizayee said.
“As far as I am aware, there are talks between the government in Baghdad and the Americans regarding the sanctions on Iran, but that no decision has been made by the central government,” the KRG spokesman was quoted as saying.
Nearly two weeks ago, the KRG ordered an immediate stop to all crude oil and refined oil product exports from Kurdistan to Iran, after complaints from the U.S. government which looks to tighten the sanctions on Tehran.
At the end of last week, however, exports via tanker trucks from Kurdistan to Iran resumed after the KRG relaxed the initial export ban.
The KRG’s Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) issued on February 20 exceptions to the ban from the previous week, allowing exports of oil and oil products originating from Kurdistan to Iran to resume.
The initial ban on all exports was the result of U.S. pressure on Kurdish officials to stop oil exports to Iran, a source close to the Iranians told Kurdish news outlet Rudaw last week.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said in an interview with the Persian-language Jomhouri Eslami newspaper that the U.S. could extend the waivers (or some of those waivers) for Iranian oil customers to prevent extreme oil price volatility and high oil prices. | 2019-04-25T10:49:27Z | null | 248.1 | 1,670 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

Therefore, if pool, patio or spa screen enclosure breaks down, you will want to have it replaced immediately so as to continue enjoy the multiple benefits. However, with a plethora of screen repair contractors in Fernandina Beach, choosing the best is quite a daunting task. The following tips will help you get the right Fernandina Beach screen repair contractor.
Most screen repair contractors specialize in a specific area. That is in either retractable enclosures or pools. Therefore, when hiring one, you should ensure that he has experience in dealing with your kind of job.
Find out how many similar jobs he has repaired and only hire him after confirming they can do the work.
Also, the contractor should have gone through some special screen repair training to equip them with the theoretical knowledge on pool installation and repair as well as learn the building codes in Fernandina Beach . Ask for an authentic certificate as proof that they have the necessary qualifications.
Though most people often ignore this factor, it is an important aspect to consider when hiring a screen repair contractor. Find out which screen enclosure association or organization exist in Fernandina Beach and confirm if the contractor is a member.
This is important as contractors that are members of a professional body are mandated to provide high quality work to all clients.

Ask the contractor to provide you with a documentation of their previous work, pick at least 5 random customers and enquire about their experience with the contractor you intend to hire.
In case the contractor fails to mention any past customer, then you should look for someone else.
This is one of the best ways to ensure that you are dealing with a genuine Fernandina Beach screen repair company.
Insurance is important in case things go wrong. If the company has worker’s compensation and liability insurance, then you will be entitled to compensation.
Do not just peruse the insurance and licensing papers. Call the indicated insurance company to be sure that they are valid.
As the general rule, you should request a quotation from at least three contractors but be careful not to compromise quality while looking to pay less.
First do a research to find out the average price of your job based on the existing market condition and choose a contractor with the most realistic cost.
Also, check the terms of payment, whether it is an upfront fee or partial payment. These terms are indicated on the contract.
Lastly, agree on the time within which the job should be completed before signing the contract.

Darkcoin has seen its price go up dramatically over recent weeks, as its advertised anonymity has helped it attract many new users. Darkcoin is different from Bitcoin in several ways, but the biggest innovation is called Darksend. This is Darkcoin’s payment system, which makes user transactions anonymous.
In Bitcoin and other alternative cryptocurrencies, wallet addresses are anonymous. Transactions between addresses are recorded in a block, which are subsequently added to the blockchain once validated. The blockchain is a public ledger of all transactions, and can be looked up through any blockchain explorer. This allows everyone who knows your wallet address to track your transactions.
The previous makes Darkcoin an ideal cryptocurrency for the dark side of society. For example, blockchain analysis could be used to expose the ongoing fraud in Auroracoin. This analysis consisted of tracking the premined amount until it split into an amount of 31.8 coins (the amount Icelandic citizens could claim). The number of claims per address could then be easily counted. With Darksend this would not have possible. It would also be a lot harder to publicly audit certain charities and crowdfunding projects. These are just some reasons why it is likely to assume that true anonymity will also promote scams.
Apart from the previous, governments already feared Bitcoin’s popularity with criminals. With Darkcoin, this will be a lot more justified. The cryptocurrency is currently hardly accepted outside of the deeb web. It could very well be the case this what drives Darkcoin’s recent growth. The developer, Evan Duffield, has already dismissed this stating: “I don’t see much chatter about using it for illegal things. It’s a neat technology and people want to invest in it because it’s useful.” But anonymity does not allow for a serious assessment of potential criminal use either. Ultimately, Darkcoin’s success will depend on the regulators, and they are not likely to be very happy with this digital currency.
Could Cryptsy be Dogecoin’s Mt.Gox?
Darkcoin does not “depend” on regulators. Darkcoin does not bow down to governments or other criminal authorities. Screw the government.
Even though it is true that governments cannot ban a coin, they can definitely influence its success. Imagine if regulations would make a distinction between Darkcoin and Bitcoin, it could drive the average user in one direction. | 2019-04-25T16:35:06Z | null | 416.2 | 2,425 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

Another 178 words (13 lines of text) covering the years 117 and 1172 are included under the topic Early Coilmynd History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Numerous spelling variations of the surname Coilmynd exist. A partial explanation for these variants is that ancient scribes and church officials recorded names as they were pronounced, often resulting in a single person being recorded under several different spellings. Different spellings that were found include Colman, Coleman, O'Colman, MacColeman, McColeman, Coalman, Coulman, Colemen, Colmen, Coalmen, Colmin, Colmen, Coulmen, Coulmin, Colemin and many more.

The 19th century saw a great wave of Irish migrating out of their homeland in a great measure due to the oppressive imperial policies of the English government and landowners. Many of these Irish families sailed to North America aboard overcrowded passenger ships. By far, the largest influx of Irish immigrants to North America occurred with Great Potato Famine during the late 1840s. These particular immigrants were instrumental in creation of the United States and Canada as major industrial nations because the many essential elements such as the roadways, canals, bridges, and railways required an enormous quantity of cheap labor, which these poor immigrants provided. Later generations of Irish in these countries also went on to make valuable contributions in such fields as the arts, commerce, politics, and education. Extensive research into immigration and passenger lists has revealed many early immigrants bearing the name Coilmynd: Thomas Coleman, who arrived in America from Marlborough in Wiltshire, England; Thomas Coleman settled in Newbury, and later Boston, Massachusetts. He was under contract, but not indentured to Sir Richard Saltonstall, to keep his cattle. He was negligent and unfaithful, as the court ruled, but, strangely a year later in 1637. | 2019-04-24T06:45:04Z | null | 424.5 | 2,158 | null | 0.974977 | [

Now we’ll talk about the three equations with three unknown case. The very first thing I’ll say is that this is an awfully rare scenario. It’s unlikely, unless you’re doing very well, that you’re gonna be handed something like this but. It could show up. So it’s worth while talking about this.
So, suppose we have this particular system. We have three equations and three unknowns. Now of course, I haven’t given a question here. But let’s just assume that for whatever reason, we need to solve for the individual values of all three variables. Well, a few thoughts first of all.
Big idea number one, if the number of equations is fewer than the number of variables, you will not be able to solve for the individual values of the variables. If you have two variables and only one equation, you can’t solve for those individual values. If you have three variables and two equations, you can’t solve.
In order to solve for individual values, you need to have three equations with those three variables. Big idea number two is quite subtle. Depending on what the question asks, you may not have to solve all the way. Now this is tricky. Sometimes the question will say what’s the value of X?
What’s the value of Y? They’ll want to know a specific variable. Sometimes though they’ll ask about an expression. What’s the value of X plus Y? What’s the value of X minus Z? What’s the value of X plus Y plus Z?
Something like that. Often, when the test does that, there’s a much shorter way to solve directly for the value of the expression without solving for the individual values of the variables. So always keep your antenna up for these kinds of shortcuts. If you can go directly to the answer without doing all the work of solving all the equations all the way, by all means, do so.
Finally, big idea number three. Inside every big problem is a little problem struggling to get out. Now, of course, this is kind of a playful way to say it. But it turns out in mathematics, much of mathematic problem solving consists of reducing problems you don’t know how to do to problems you do know how to do.
Now this is true not only at the level of the test, but even at the level say of calculus, and beyond calculus analysis, topology, even all the way up to PhD levels in mathematics. The way that new math gets done at the PhD level, is that mathematicians are reducing problems that we, the human race, doesn’t know how to do, reducing them to problems we do know how to do.
So it turns out this is a very sophisticated strategy. And it’s, it’s a very important perspective in your problem solving abilities on the test. Now in this particular case, I’ll show you what I mean. So here we have three equations with three unknowns and I’ve labeled the equations. Well, theoretically, you’ve watched these videos and so you know how to solve two equations with two unknowns, that we’ve covered already.
So now we wanna know how to do this. So what we’re gonna do is take a series of steps that will allow us to change three variables with three unknowns into two variables with two unknowns because that’s something we know how to do. Well, first thing that catches my eye, notice we have a plus X and a minus X. That really just kind of jumps out of me.
It’s kind of a screaming sign as far as I’m concerned, in these equations. What that means is I could add these two equations and eliminate an X. So I’m going to add B and C. B is 2W plus X minus 4Y equals negative 14. C is 3W minus X plus 2Y equals eight. Add them up, add everything straight down, we get 5W minus 2Y equals negative six.
I’m going to call this equation D. This is now one equation that has two unknowns. So by itself it’s not very useful, but if we could get another equation with the same two unknowns, then we’d be in business. So we wanna pick another pair of the three original equations. A different pair.
So not B and C this time. A different pair, and see if we can eliminate X again in this new pair. Because if we eliminate X again, we’ll get another equation that has just W and Y in it. So again, this plus X look, looks like it would be pretty easy to cancel it with this minus 2X.
If I just multiply B by two, then that should be able to cancel them. So I’m just gonna have A by itself. A is W minus 2X plus 3Y equals 13. I’m gonna multiple two times B. So everything on both sides of the equation gets multiplied by two. Of course, you’re always allowed to multiply both sides of an equation by the same thing.
That’s perfectly legitimate. That will give me 4W plus 2X minus 8Y equals negative 28. All right. So very good. So now, again, add straight down, I get 5W, the X’s cancel as predicted, I get negative 5Y equals negative 15.
Now ordinarily, I would say G, all of these are multiples of five, wouldn’t it be easy to divide by five and get smaller numbers then that might make it very easy to cancel, to substitute to do all kinds of things. But I’m not gonna that only because I’m gonna call this equation E as is, only because they noticed I have a 5W here, and a 5W here.
Wow. Those are kind of screaming out to me now. Can I just solve for 5W for both of these equations? 5W equals 2Y minus six. 5W equals 5Y minus 15. So, if these two things both equal 5W, they must be equal to each other.
So this is an example of substitution. We’re gonna set this equal. 5Y minus 15 equals 2Y minus six. Well now I’m down to one equation with one unknown. This is great. I know how to solve this.
So subtract 2Y from both sides, we get 3Y minus 15 equals negative six. Add 15 to both sides, 3Y equals nine divide by three, we get Y equals three. Okay. And of course we know, with the two equation two unknown case, once we get the value of one variable, we just plug it in. We could plug it into this one or this one, it doesn’t matter.
This one looks like it has smaller values. So I’ll just plug it in there. 5W equals 2Y which is six minus six equals zero. That’s funny. If 5Y equals zero, 5W equals zero, that means that W must equal zero. Okay.
Very interesting. That can happen sometimes. W equals zero. So now, I have the value of W, the value of Y. I’m almost done but I need the value of X. So now I actually have to go back to one of the original equations.
Let’s take the top one, A. W that’s zero minus 2X plus 3Y. So three times three is nine. Equals 13. Subtract nine from both sides. I get negative 2X equals four or X equals negative two.
And those are the three values, of the three variables from these equations. Again, notice that the strategy that I used, was to reduce the three equation, three unknown scenario, to a two equation, two unknown scenario. So just to summarize. First of all, I’m gonna pick two of the three equations using either substitution or elimination, eliminate one variable.
Incidentally, 99% of the time it’s gonna be much easier to use elimination rather than substitution. Then I’m gonna pick another pair of those original equation, and similarly eliminate the same variable. So at this point, I will be down to the two variable with two equation case. Now just use the two equations, the two unknown techniques, we’ve learned those already. | 2019-04-21T06:06:18Z | null | 430 | 7,168 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
Stuck in a makeup rut? Go for one of these minimal effort, big impact looks to refresh your face for fall.
The secret to a smoky eye in seconds? Choose a highly pigmented eyeshadow and press it across your lids with your middle fingertip. Use a fluffy shadow brush to soften any harsh edges, and there you have it. Instead of fussing with a big palette, opt for one shadow (we vote for purple, which flatters just about everyone). Try ColourPop Super Shock Shadow in Dare ($5; amazon.com). If you tend to get oily, layer an eyeshadow primer, like Maybelline New York Master Prime Long-Lasting Eyeshadow Primer ($8; amazon.com), underneath shadow to avoid creasing. Finish by tracing the same shadow along your lower lash lines and add mascara.
The quickest way to look well-rested (even when you’re not): Dab a shimmery white shadow onto the inner corners of your eyes. It takes a second, but lets you sparkle all day. We like Nars Cosmetics Velvet Shadow Stick in Galice ($29; narscosmetics.com) because of its easy-to-use stick formula. Concentrate on inner corners, then drag the color along your lower lash lines, stopping right under your pupil. Wear it alone, or pair it with a neutral shadow in your crease. Complete the look by curling lashes, then adding mascara on top and bottom lashes and swiping on pink gloss.
If liner stresses you out (crooked lines and uneven wings!), try this goof-proof technique: Trace a creamy blue liner along your bottom waterlines (the inner rim of lower lids) for definition, and skip top lids altogether. Try L’Oréal Paris Infallible Silkissime Eyeliner in Cobalt Blue ($9; lorealparisusa.com). The vibrant shade dazzles on all eye colors, but really works magic to brighten tired or red eyes. Keep the rest of your makeup minimal, with black mascara on top lashes to balance out the blue. Trouble getting liner to stick? Gently run a cotton swab along waterlines before applying. | 2019-04-18T11:49:22Z | null | 961.2 | 1,923 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

a family business, working for his wife’s Dad, and a respected job, unlike the denigrating status to which it would slip by the time of Jesus.
Although requiring long hours and being on constant lookout for four-legged wolves and two legged thieves, it was a time to get away from family pressures, to be free to meditate, to be immersed in God’s creation that would later provide the references for the Book of Psalms filled with prayer-poems and songs, many composed by David, a shepherd destined to be king.
It was a sight that turned a workplace into a holy place that had him taking off his sandals, not only as a sign of reverence for God, but his intention to put off, to laid aside workday dirt and plans and pressures and cultural and social ties, so God could be near and present, creature in touch with Creator .
For Moses it happened on the mountain associated with one Biblical individual after another: Abraham, Jacob, Aaron, Joshua, Elijah – to name a few. The mount that took on the more prominent name: Sinai, and other obscure names, which are contested, all because the actual site remains a subject for research.
Hebrew scholars overcome the dilemma by saying Moses’ Mount Horeb was not so much a location as it was a holy day on a movable mountain that remained with him throughout his life; Moses’ place of meeting that happens when we gather to worship God each Sunday and in private, daily devotions, times and places that become our holy day on our movable mountain.
For Moses it was a time to get a new assignment; rather than tending sheep, he was to shepherd his enslaved people into a forty-year long job training program to become God’s flock, with the Ten Commandments received on another climb as their God-given rules for living.
On the Mount named Horeb Moses had a Labor Day holiday that became a holy day to be given a new job that would be much harder than his previous employment, which we, too, may find ourselves facing as we are confronted with an unwelcoming and perhaps seemingly overwhelming task.
It may be as a single parent trying to cope with raising children and earning enough to pay all the bills. Or as a retiree who suddenly is fully employed in caring for a totally dependent spouse. Or as a volunteer who takes on working with troubled youth, providing transportation for a home-bound person, getting involved in a cause that challenges corruption in public life, or accepting the responsibility of cleaning up a polluted stream or waste site; all time consuming and demanding .
“For what will it profit them if they gain the whole world but forfeit their life?
the assurance that sent Moses into each new day trusting on God to get him through.
Like Moses might you be facing your own unwelcome and perhaps seemingly overwhelming task, which you, like Moses, take on, trusting in God holding up to the offer: "I will be with you” and relying on the strength to come to you in holy moments on God’s mountain of worship?
For Moses a burning bush pulled him away from his everyday work and he found himself in a holy place that stayed with his for the rest of his life.
When Jesus’ ‘Who do you say that I am?’ and Peter’s ‘You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.’ is carried forward, it becomes a life-changing confession.
For Peter, it was the confession that sent him off to Rome, for Thomas to India, and for Paul into one Roman province after another; the same confession that, to this day, sends some off to serve beyond home and family.
At the age of thirteen I sat in a Sunday service and prayed Peter’s confession which I promised God I would live out as a doctor, and by the time I was nineteen I wanted to become a medical missionary, inspired by a summer church conference where I met Ruth Hoffstetter, home on furlough from India where she was a nurse under our church’s mission board.
and for all but seven years has been in Montgomery County, making me a stay-at-home missionary.
-from individuals who go from Trinity for a short stay mission in places like Cuba and Guatemala…a photo-story that will bless us and inspire us as Judy shares her most recent visit.
stories of missions and missionaries that inspire us…and also serve to alert us to everyday, often unnoticed Peter-like confessions that are happening in the life of our congregation through each of you.
To confess “Jesus is Lord!” creates Christian communities that are universally the same throughout the world.
The blessing of the presence of Christ that gives us the strength to live each day and the joy of seeing the face of Christ in all who personalize Peter’s confession and the thrill of being a community of missionaries doing Christ-like service, bound together all over this world through the binding love of God brought near in Jesus Christ.
Music comes to the service of mission through a hymn to celebrate Peter’s confession and Jesus’ response.
“Thank our God for sisters, brothers…Joining heart to heart with others…we who are the church rejoice.” Amen.
In June I spent a week in Guatemala on a service project. Before talking about the project, I want to give you some background information so you have a better understanding of the project.
40% of the population of Guatemala is indigenous, Maya, and they speak more than a dozen languages. In 1960 a civil war began and lasted until 1996 – that’s 36 years! The Maya people were singled out for special brutality. By the end of the war 200,000 citizens were dead, with the army being blamed for 93% of the atrocities. But the Maya have always been a strong, resilient people.
This map shows the location of the small town of Chocola in western Guatemala, several hours from the nearest tourist spot. It is the site of an important group of ancient Maya ruins, more than 2,000 years old. The site has never been developed or studied. Nine years ago I joined an archaeology project in Chocola, under the auspices of Earthwatch, an international scientific organization.
We got to know some of the locals because a number of the men worked with us on the dig. Local women cooked our meals and cleaned our living quarters. Our lab was near the school, so the local children often visited with us through the open window as we cleaned hundred of artifacts.
Near the end of our project, several of the men in our group decided to form a small non-profit organization to help the people and the community. They named it Amigos de Chocola. One of the men had experience working with non-profits and got it off to a good start. The archaeology project shut down shortly after we left, due to local politics, which I don’t understand, but our presence in the community has remained, through the Amigos. Also working with us on the dig were Ann Kraemer, an American grad student in medical anthropology, and Victor Diaz, a local young man interested in studying business. They became the main contacts and resources for the Amigos. They have since married and continue to live and work in Chocola, and serve on the Board of Amigos.
Theoretically education in Guatemala is free, but the parents must pay an annual enrollment fee and provide school uniforms and textbooks for their children, and in secondary school there are additional fees. Throughout Guatemala, 80% of the people live in poverty. 78,000 children do not attend school, 70% of which are girls. Many children work at least part of the day. Every year a girl stays in school boosts her eventual wages by 10-20%, and it improves her health and that of her future children. Because of all those reasons, the main goal of Amigos de Chocola is to raise money for scholarships, and to help the school in general.
Last Fall I received an e-mail, announcing the first community service trip to Chocola by the Amigos. Of course I said yes! In June, seven of us made the trip. Only 3 of us were from the original archaeology group; the rest had learned about Amigos in various ways over the years, and joined in supporting their projects.
It was good to get back to Chocola. Although we are a small NGO (non-government organization) and do not have a church relationship, everyone in the group is a Christian: several Presbyterians, Methodists, a Unitarian, and a UCC. Every night we heard singing and preaching from one or another of the local churches. Our leader told us that formerly the town had serious alcoholism problems. The Evangelicals came in, convinced them that drinking is a sin, and put a lot of peer pressure on people to join the church. There is no longer an alcoholism problem in Chocola.
A friend of Ann and Victor had just built a house over the storage area on his parents’ property. He and his family had not yet moved in, but he was happy to rent it to us for the week. Actually, we were the guinea pigs. We had electricity and running water. The electricity was fine, and the plumbing usually worked, but the hot water hadn’t been connected. But after a hot day of work, a cold shower wasn’t so bad. It was the rainy season, and we had water coming through the roof and under the windows.
Every day we alternated between two local homes, where the women prepared our two main meals.
Our primary focus was working on projects at the school. This is the schoolyard, with classrooms on two sides. This is the school office, and behind it are the restrooms. I’ll talk about that later.
Our first job was to paint the school office. It reminded me of ASP. There wasn’t enough room for all 7 of us to work at the same time. So we took turns painting and socializing with some of the students. They study English, and some were happy to practice with us. They also enjoyed watching us work.
Another one of our projects was to renovate the school restrooms. Every afternoon, the town water is shut off for several hours. In order to provide water for the school restrooms, Amigos bought a large water tank, which was installed by local workmen while we were there. We also painted the walls of the restrooms.
Our third work project was in conjunction with our 19 scholarship students. There is a large commercial workshop in town, abandoned shortly after the German coffee producers were forced to leave Guatemala around the time of WWII. Some of the equipment is still used by locals, and there are plans to turn part of it into a museum. The scholarship students have undertaken to clean it up, dusting off the equipment and removing accumulated trash. We spent an afternoon working with them on that project.
By the way, the town received its name when the Germans were looking it over as a place to do business. The local people said, in their Mayan language, Chok La, which means Come on in.
Amigos de Chocola also works with other non-profit groups. One of them is Seeds for the Future. We visited their office to learn about their work teaching local families to grow some of their own food. They work with 41 families. We visited several of their gardens.
On our last day, the families of our scholarship students thanked us with a picnic lunch. Before the meal, we presented certificates to each of the scholarship students. A fitting ending to a successful week.
This year, when ASP teams returned with stories we wait to hear, they reported that their evening devotional time set the focus for each day and for their report back to us.
A “God Moment” in the life of Joseph.
…came and knelt before him, saying, ‘Lord, help me.’ Then Jesus answered her, ‘Woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish.’ And her daughter was healed instantly.
A “God Moment” in the life of a Canaanite woman.
I was in my early 30’s, reeling from a series of emotional traumas. Dad had died earlier and my marriage had gone sour.
Mom, temporarily stable on her medications for mental illness, was helping me with my son. My astronaut brother was killed in a plane crash. A year later my son was accidentally killed out-of-state when his father abducted him.
The delinquent teens I was working with at the time held me together after the deaths, keeping me busy and focused outside myself.
I returned to hospital nursing and was working nights in a surgical unit in a general hospital. One of the patients was a young man paralyzed neck down from a car accident, who had just come out of the intensive care unit. I had spent a lot of time with him as nights were difficult. He would wake up, unable to move, disoriented, alone, afraid. On this last morning on this unit (I was transferred to another unit) he had his mother bring me a red rose in a bud vase as a thank you.
And there was a jar of homemade soup at my door, from a friend.
These three things (rose, sunrise, soup) told me God loved me.
I’ve always found pleasure in simple things shared by my family; walks in the woods, sitting at a campfire, family picnics and playing card games around the kitchen table.
Growing up, my family took road trips with a popup camper in tow. We spent weeks on the road, stopping at national parks and enjoying the beauty of nature. God was with us on those trips, helping us understand that the world beyond our hometown had much to offer if we only took the time to embrace it.
One trip took us to Mesa Verde, Colorado, which boasts beautiful cliffs with ancient dwellings built into the alcoves in the sides of those cliffs. Even with all the tourists bustling around, I felt a sense of peace and oneness with those that had passed this way before. God gave my heart a message of deep spirituality and faith in a higher power. I almost felt like I had walked this land before and it gave me joy to be among the ruins and look out over the landscape seeing life as it was long ago.
We have since taken our own children to this place and other places across the country so that they understand the pleasure of stepping outside their own environment and to appreciate the beauty that we have at our fingertips. Because we live such busy lives, we may not often stop to appreciate the simple things. I find that it’s in the quiet moments, away from the pressures of our daily lives, that God speaks to me.
Cindy’s vacation time of quiet moments and simple things that become ways God speaks to us, happened for me early last Saturday morning when, at six AM, I left our motel outside Huntington, PA to walk over the bridge into the town. A young Japanese man was standing there, fishing from the bridge and his bike was near him, leaning against the railing on the fence. I stopped to talk with him but realized he did not speak English, so we had a delightful “conversation” with hand motions and facial expressions.
As I walked on, I happened to look down and saw a man fishing from the bank of the river.
When I returned from town I noticed the Japanese fisherman’s bike was still on the bridge by the fence. Then I looked down and saw he was on the river bank, watching as the man pulled in an 18” Bass, unhooked it and then gave it to the Japanese man who walked away with a smile that covered his face.
And I thought of those fishermen-disciples who heard Jesus say, “Love one another as I have loved you.” and of the fish – the sign Christians used in the early days of persecution as a code word to identify themselves to one another.
Weeks at ASP are almost guaranteed to be filled with God Moments. Here is my favorite from my 7 summers attending ASP. ASP 2011 sent me to Wyoming County, WV to work on a bathroom for a family of three. There was a Mom, Step Father, and an adult son named Ricky who had special needs. Mom was very open about her life and the things she experienced. She told us the story about when she had Ricky, and how she knew something was wrong. As he grew up, he never developed the ability to walk or talk. After a while, she sent him away to get help. When he returned, he could both walk and talk. She called it a miracle.
I listened to her story, but remained unconvinced. How could someone learn to walk and talk who hadn’t been able to for years and years? What happened when he went away, and where did he go? How is this possible? These questions stayed with me all week and I came to the conclusion that there was no way this could have happened.
On Friday morning, I was getting ready for our final day and wondering if we would finish our bathroom project. As I was walking down the hall of our center, a poster caught my eye. ASP staff fills the hallway with inspirational quotes and Bible verses, so I was surprised when I noticed this one in particular. It read Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Immediately I was struck: this was my major God Moment of the week. I did not need to analyze and criticize this woman’s story. I needed to just believe that God had the ability to change Ricky’s life. This Moment has stayed with me since then, and helps remind me that I do not need an explanation for everything in life; I just need to have faith.
A seminary professor told his class of future preachers that the best sermon is one that prompts listeners to expand a word, a line, a thought they just heard, into their own ongoing sermon.
By that standard, this may be one of the best sermons, because it is intended to be carried forward in the “God Moments” you, the listeners and readers, will experience…and hopefully share in daily conversations.
"Wrestling and Feasting with God"
Might we, along with that old man on the porch, find ourselves in Jacob’s story?
Jacob wasn’t what we’d call a faith-practicing person; he wasn’t into talking with God in prayer; as a matter-of-fact, when he was with his father, Isaac, he referred to God as your God, and not his God.
It wasn’t until Jacob was in deep trouble that he began to pray to God, not only in a tone of desperation but also of boldness that has him daring to make demands of God, based on promises God has made.
hands, he lays claim to that inheritance.
And so, when he sees his brother is about to catch up to him with enough manpower to overcome him, Jacob prays a prayer mixed with his fear and God’s pledge.
Might we find ourselves praying Jacob’s prayer?
Jacob, fortified with the armor of God’s pledge, enters into a wrestling match with the opponent that is his past coming down on him with a force that will predictably overpower him, but Jacob does not let go; he doesn’t let his sin and guilt win; he holds on, and in the struggle his hip is put out-of-joint.
A new name marking Jacob with both a limp and a God-given mission.
Might we find ourselves called, like Jacob, to make our confession, so that we, marked with the limp of our humanness, will also hear our own call to a God-centered life re-created by God?
the second part of the story that overpowers the first.
Taking the five loaves and the two fish, looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. And all ate and were filled. ?
The ultimate blessing from God, a blessing that does not need to be wrestled from God, but simply received from God and made real and present in Jesus, tasted and savored like bread; through Whom all are fed the Bread of Life in Jesus Christ.
One day I was visiting Helen Wanner who was a homebound member of our congregation. When, in the visit, I shared the Sacrament of Holy Communion with her, she said was afraid she had done something wrong, and she went on to confess what troubled her.
While we are worshiping at church where she longed to be, she was able to watch a service on TV that was broadcast from St. John’s Lutheran Church in Allentown.
Hesitantly she admitted that the service ended with Holy Communion. She wanted so much to participate, that she went to the kitchen, got a cracker and a small glass of water and used them so she could commune with the congregation.
“Did I do the wrong thing,” she asked? “Not at all,” I said.
Looking back to that day in her home, I now realize I had been in the company of a person who was like the elderly man, reading his Bible and finding himself on almost every page. She was finding herself present at the Gospel’s Communion-like setting, hungering and thirsting for what Christ so freely gives through bread and cup.
all we need to do is receive what God gives: a Christ-centered life and the confidence and boldness to live it.
Sometimes we need to do is to stop wrestling and start feasting with God.
Either way, “Thanks be to God!” AMEN. | 2019-04-20T19:01:32Z | null | 302.1 | 20,431 | null | 0.019284 | [

People always want to learn from successful people and want to be one of them. So listening to the speech is the best way to learn from these great people and see how they get the great achievements. The famous celebrities like Bill Gate and Steve Jobs, they created the fashion and even changed the world. The common thing is that they never graduated from university, then they quit school as they studied for a while. So many young people wonder if they should follow their steps, just quit study and do what they want. The difference between these great men and normal people is thought. Even Bill Gates quit school, he still kept thinking and searching, while normal people just lie in the bed and play computer games. Everyone has different ways to get the achievement, so we need to think what is suitable for us instead of following the trend. | 2019-04-25T18:12:56Z | null | 318.2 | 851 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
The grapes were harvested in vineyards at over 400 meters above sea level at the Castello della Sala estate near Orvieto in Umbria. After destemming and a partial pressing, the must went into small stainless steel fermenting tanks where it fermented on its skins for approximately one week. The must fermented at controlled temperature and finished its fermentation in small French oak barrels, where it subsequently went through a complete malolactic fermentation.The ageing in oak barrels continued forteen months after which the wine was bottled. An additional eight month period of bottle ageing in the historic Castello della Sala cellars preceded commercial release. The 2013 Pinot Noir is perhaps one of the most expressive of recent years.
Bouquet: The nose recalls delicate aromas which range from spices to floral notes of violets and roses along with red berry fruit.
Taste: The palate is supple and tasty with elegant tannins, silky and polished in texture, the finish long and balanced, the wine is already drinking well but is also endowed with a very important aging potential. | 2019-04-24T18:00:31Z | null | 496.3 | 1,092 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

Heliotrope was in a sour mope.
She was the last crayon picked.
She felt as if she’d been kicked.
from covering up every flub.
“I want to play!” Heliotrope sniffed.
“I need to get out of this cage.
Heliotrope asked. Blue snapped: “Pipe down!
so emotion turned into locomotion.
POP! She burst in gooey, ghastly gobs.
combining with seeds, lichen and moss.
“No great loss,” Chartreuse muttered.
On that spot, something new was born.
A flower unfurled. Tiny petals uncurled.
Heliotrope was reborn, the color of hope.
Notes: I’ve been reading Greek myths on Aquileana’s site, and I was inspired by the idea of something beautiful coming from tragedy. I also read The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt this summer. The flower in the picture is not Heliotrope (in the Borage family), but the color is the one I remember from my crayon box.
Very witty. I wish I had had heliotrope in my crayon box. And it’s so true that some crayons wear out more quickly than others. Crayon boxes should come with extra crayons in the basic colours.
Yes, the same colors always wear out first.
Yes, and it’s a good color for hope, isn’t it? | 2019-04-24T08:33:21Z | null | 378 | 1,120 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

Regular exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle and a good weight loss strategy. The sad part is our society loves sitting so much, with relation to the activities we cannot give up such as watching the TV shows, surfing the net, and doing almost anything using the mobile phone. This then promotes prolonged inactivity, which can put your health at risk and sabotage your weight loss efforts.
Walking, the simplest form of exercise, can do much for your health. If you are aiming to lose weight, it is best to add some cardiovascular and weight-bearing exercises to your routine. The key, which you need to keep in mind, is to boost your activity levels in whatever way possible.
Wearing a fitness tracker helps you avoid a sedentary lifestyle by motivating you to move more. It also provides information that can empower you to make better changes in your health and allows you to pay more attention to your activity level before you started tracking.
If you’re serious about losing weight, a fitness studio can better help you with your efforts. Personal training studios for women in Woburn note that joining one provides you with an empowering environment to transform your body, with exercise programs that can help you stay on track.
If you have a sedentary job, strive to take regular exercise breaks to get up and move around. You can also set an alarm or a reminder every hour that you should more for about three to five minutes.
Dog ownership can do more than lower your stress levels and increase your happiness. It can also improve your well-being, as it is considered a great motivator for walking.
Climbing the stairs is a good form of cardiovascular exercise that can also help reduce stress and pressure. Parking a little farther away from the office or the store, however, forces you to walk.
While it is more tempting to sit back and do nothing, it will never benefit your health and your weight. Strive to move more throughout the day or get the help of a fitness trainer to achieve your goals faster. | 2019-04-19T19:15:15Z | null | 360.8 | 2,035 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
Ok well today has been so much fun because today I dusted off my sewing machine and made something. I have been away for far too long but hope to get back into the swing of it with regular sewing projects and a whole new wardrobe of fantastically fitted clothes.
I have made a plan of what I want to make. I wanted to use a lot of the books and patterns that I had already in my collection and make them with fabrics that I have designed. I also wanted them to build in difficulty.
The first make is the Brigitte scarf. This is a simple and versatile scarf and also a great introduction project for those just starting out using a sewing machine.
I hope that I've inspired you to give this a go and would love to see your versions. The fabric is available through spoonflower and woven monkey. | 2019-04-24T00:12:01Z | null | 410.7 | 793 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
You won't believe it, for that "Tam Pui" my dad changed my Chinese name! I remember when I was a small girl, probably 5 years old, one day, the family bought a "pot" that seemingly looked the same one above in the picture. Four Chinese words were printed - it read "hu te yan hua" (meaning butterfly beautiful flower". The "yan" is the same as my name "yan". My siblings started teasing me that my name was printed on the "pot"! I was upset. So dad said, you can use the "yan" as in the bird "swiftlet" in Chinese. And here I am - as free as a bird. And thanks to that "pot"!
Very tropical and I'm glad to read its a new pot!
Hopefully the Tam Pui is used as a flower pot only haha. Nice post. | 2019-04-21T00:33:05Z | null | 579.1 | 693 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
Choosing fur to complete your outfit is not always an easy choice. Wearing a fur, especially on very cold days, is a must. Mink or fox fur are used by Italian women to give an extra touch to their daily outfit. Short colored furs have been very popular in recent years. Green, pink or blue colored furs are worn in casual outfits, with sneakers or ripped jeans.
This year’s trend is, instead, the over sized fur, whether it is a short mink fur or a short fox fur. The mink bomber is the symbol of the Elpidio Loffredo collection, very easy to wear and elegant and sporty at the same time. Wearing a short fur may be the best choice, as our climate does not require a long fur coat and is also very comfortable.
During the day not having to take off your fur coat is would be amazing. As soon as you get in the car the short fur doesn’t give problems, it should not be taken off like the long fur. The short fur should be worn with extreme easiness, as the fur became a garment for every day. Choosing a suitable short fur allows you to buy a long-lived garment for most of the year. Especially choosing a three-quarter sleeves, the period of use becomes longer.
Wearing a long fur, instead, is limited in winter, because it is synonymous of heavy garments, so it lasts at best one season. The short fur can be easily worn in a period that goes from October to March, depending on the garments paired with the season. Many customers decide to combine their short fur with cashmere gloves or stoles. The stoles are often matched with short furs without a collar, while the gloves with all furs that have trocar sleeve.
The color of the short fur is the hardest choice. The models of Elpidio Loffredo short furs are created in many different colors. Usually the biggest request is for the short brown mink fur, but in the collection we can find many black furs and some short gray fur. Obviously there are short blue furs in the collection. The short fox fur, however, offers an infinite variety of colors! The short black fur is absolutely the most requested. The short fur made in any color will always be a must have and very easy to wear. | 2019-04-22T08:19:52Z | null | 293.2 | 2,139 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
Artist & designer, Gx2, grew up amongst moorland and stone - A fitting inspiration for her work, which reflects these muted landscapes and combines them with fantasy driven dark atmospheres. Her pieces cross the boundaries between realism and child like day dreams – adding the mythological to the mundane. Limiting herself to a black & white colour palette with hints of subdued colour & flashes of neon brights , she utilizes pen, ink, marker pens and spray paint to achieve a tapestry of detail.
Having produced live work at events such as Upfest, Beacons & ‘Get Creative’ at Liberty of London, she finds comfort in working on large scale pieces as well as smaller, more intricate craftsmanship. She has also organized live art events and exhibitions with ‘The Beating Arts’ as well as charity aid event, ‘Ink for Aid’.
Her illustrations have taken over products which can be purchased online, where Gx2homegrown is her outlet. Gx2homegrown is her way of making art accessible and an integral part of our lives and lifestyle. Whether it's your dinnerware or a simple sketchbook – each piece is lovingly designed and hand crafted by Gx2 ready to slot itself on your book shelf or hang on your wall! | 2019-04-25T22:36:44Z | null | 661.3 | 1,200 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
If the video uses dialogue, how, when, where, and why do the people talk to each other in the video? How does this affect your perception of the video’s content?
If the video uses voiceover narration, why do you think the creator chose to do this?
Where else does text appear in the video (in written form, for instance)? How does that add to the spoken text?
How do the pitch, tone, accent, etc. of various characters’ voices (including the narrator, if there is one) affect how you perceive them?
Do the other elements (modalities) of the video support what’s being said or do they undermine it?
A low tech approach: "Think, Write, Pair and Share"
Ask students to get a piece of paper ready to answer the questions above as they watch the video. They don't have to have an answer to every question, but rather have jotted down the answers that really popped out at them.
Get students into groups of two and have them share their answers. Again - they don't have to have an agreed upon answer to every question. After about 2 minutes of sharing have the groups of two form groups of 4 for discussion, then perhaps groups of 8 and so on (the "snowball" part).
This approach should really get your students to think carefully and do a thorough analysis of the video.
Want to try something a little different and as little higher tech to see what students are thinking? Click here to go to our Community Exclusive area to see how you could take this same video and present it along with a "backchannel" to see what's going on in students' heads as they watch the video. | 2019-04-18T19:20:15Z | null | 363 | 1,567 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

Greenhouse and growth chamber experimental data from resurrection study of Mimulus laciniatus across species range.
As climatic conditions change, species will be forced to move or adapt to avoid extinction. Exacerbated by ongoing climate change, California recently experienced a severe and exceptional drought from 2011-2017. To investigate whether an adaptive response occurred during this event, we conducted a “resurrection” study of the cutleaf monkeyflower (Mimulus laciniatus), an annual plant, by comparing trait means and variances of ancestral seed collections ("pre-drought") with contemporary descendant collections ("drought"). Plants were grown under common conditions to test whether this geographically-restricted species has the capacity to respond evolutionarily to climate stress across its range. We examined if traits shifted in response to the recent, severe drought and included populations across an elevation gradient, including populations at the low- and high-elevation edges of the species range. We found that time to seedling emergence in the drought generation was significantly earlier than in the pre-drought generation, a response consistent with drought adaptation. Additionally, trait variation in days to emergence was reduced in the drought generation, which suggests selection or bottleneck events. Days to first flower increased significantly by elevation, consistent with climate adaptation across the species range. Drought generation plants were larger and had greater reproduction, which was likely a carryover effect of earlier germination. These results demonstrate that rapid shifts in trait means and variances consistent with climate adaptation are occurring within populations, including peripheral populations at warm and cold climate limits, of a plant species with a relatively restricted range that has so far not shifted its elevation distribution during contemporary climate change. Thus, rapid evolution may mitigate, at least temporarily, range shifts under global climate change. This study highlights the need for better understanding rapid adaptation as a means for plant communities to cope with extraordinary climate events. | 2019-04-20T16:31:42Z | null | 667.4 | 2,188 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

Healthy Chinese chicken salad recipe is a refreshing crowd-pleasing dish. Tossed in tangy soy ginger dressing and packed with fresh vegetables in each bite.
With Chinese New Years on the horizon, I prepared a healthy and delicious Chinese chicken salad recipe. It’s packed with crunchy cabbage, lettuce, carrots, noodles and ginger poached chicken tossed in a tangy soy vinaigrette.
Refreshing and satisfying, this is a great dish for any occasion. A quick weekday dinner, lunch for work or larger gatherings. Let’s get the festivities started!
What makes this salad especially attractive and addicting is the tangy sweet soy dressing. If you haven’t made your own vinaigrette before, it’s so easy. If you’ve got a whisk handy and a little bit of mini-muscle, a dressing can come together in seconds!
You could even add the dressing to a large mason jar and shake it up to burn a few extra calories, kids love to help too. I could just imagine baby James going nuts, dancing around and giggling with a shaker bottle of dressing splashing around inside.
Have you tried poaching chicken before? It’s a delicate way to infuse flavor into the chicken through the cooking liquid. I used fresh ginger, garlic and a little bit of salt to flavor the water. This technique is easy but also a healthy method of cooking that doesn’t require adding extra fat for cooking.
Just helping you look after your waistlines (fist bump). If you have leftover grilled or roasted chicken, shred up the meat and add to the salad instead, easy peasy.
This dressing was inspired by RecipeTin Eats. She does such an excellent job making gourmet meals simple for home cooks. The base of the dressing is equal parts or soy sauce, rice vinegar, freshly minced ginger and garlic, sesame oil and some neutral grapeseed oil adds a little bit of richness. The spicy ginger and garlic add a “zing” to the dressing. I want to pour this over everything!
Ready to dig in? I know, it’s hard to resist so much crunchy eye candy. If you can’t find the noodle topping, you can cut up slices of wonton wrappers and fry until golden brown and crispy. If you are not serving this salad right away, toss together the salad ingredients but wait to add the dressing.
The dressing is a temporary emulsion, and it will separate over time. Not to worry, just whisk together or shake in a jar right before dressing the salad. I can’t wait to hear how you liked this recipe or let me know what you ate to celebrate Chinese New Years!
If you make this recipe, please let me know! Leave a comment, rate it, and don’t forget to tag a photo #jessicagavin on Instagram. I’d love to see what you come up with. Cheers, friends!
What is the benefit of poaching foods?
Delicate foods like eggs, chicken breast, fruit, and fish benefit from using a gentle cooking method called poaching. The food cooks in a pot of liquid that is well below the boiling point (212°F). For this recipe, the chicken is covered with water to 1-inch above the meat. This provides an efficient cooking liquid that cooks the chicken on both sides and prevents the surface from drying out. You can cover the pot with a lid to have a constant gentle cooking environment, but make sure that the temperature is kept low enough, so it does not start boiling (170 to 180°F). You want don’t want to see bubbles break the surface. That would be simmering. It’s helpful to use a digital thermometer handy to check the temperature of the water before adding the chicken, during cooking, and to verify that the chicken has reached 165°F. The food becomes very tender, moist infused with flavors if you choose.
Place chicken in a pot just large enough to hold chicken breast halves and add enough water to cover by 1-inch. Add salt, ginger slices and garlic.
Bring just to a simmer over medium-high heat when bubbles start forming around the edge of the pot.
Reduce to medium-low to keep the temperature constant, about 170 to 180°F.
Cook chicken until the center of the meat reaches 165°F on an instant-read thermometer, 20 to 23 minutes.
Transfer to a plate, and let the chicken breasts cool in the refrigerator. Once cool, shred chicken and reserve.
In a medium-sized bowl combine soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, ginger, garlic, and pepper.
Slowly whisk in sesame and grapeseed oil. If you have a blender, you can combine all vinaigrette ingredients together for a few seconds until mixed well. Set aside for 10 minutes or so for the flavors to meld.
Place the salad ingredients together in a large bowl, except crunchy noodles and sesame seeds.
Whisk dressing if layers have separated. Drizzle over dressing then toss.
Top with noodles and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

This looks wonderfull! Yummed and pinned, too! All my favorite flavors–I could live on this for days.
I poach the chicken in chicken stock to give it a bid of flavour.
Since I’m going easy in the carbs and fat – I’ve omitted the crunchy noodles and sesame seeds as well as omitting the 2 tablespoons of grape seed/neutral flavoured oil.
Still tastes great and fresh. My wife and I could eat this every day! | 2019-04-25T04:14:58Z | null | 471.4 | 5,235 | null | 0.086342 | [

One who was born on the day on which the building of the city was begun was chosen to be king after Romulus. Numa was his name. At the time when the Romans and the Sabines took him to be king over them Numa had no mortal wife--a Goddess was his companion. By a spring of clear water she would meet him and converse with him, instructing him in all affairs that lay between mortals and the immortal Gods. Egeria she was named.
And by a clear spring of water she would meet him and converse with him after he had become king in Rome. Now at that time a plague ravaged all Italy; the Roman people were made despondent by all the deaths they saw around them; their city, so lately built, would not last, they thought, for the folk in it would dwindle away through this plague. Then a sign was given to Numa. A brazen shield fell from Heaven. It was revealed to the king that as long as this shield was amongst them the fortunes of the Roman people would be prosperous. He had eleven other shields made, each in the likeness of the one that had fallen from Heaven: when the twelve shields were left together no one, not Numa himself, could tell one from the other. No single enemy, then, could slip in and take away the shield on which the fortunes of Rome depended. And the Romans, knowing that amongst them was a token of prosperity and that that token was secure, ceased to be despondent. Soon the plague left the land.
and potters; he appointed courts and councils for these companies, and he showed to each of them the particular religious ceremony it was to observe.
Over the iron shields the spiders hang their webs.
Rust eats the pointed spear and two-edged sword.
Sweet sleep is banished from our eyes no more.
Numa then arranged the months of the year. He put January, which is the month of the God of Peace, Ianus, first; he put March, which is the month of the War God, third; between, he put February, which is the month of purification: in February the Romans make offerings to their dead, and the festival of Lupercalia, a festival of purification, is held in February.
Iuppiter, the great God of the sky and of thunder, was brought down to earth by Numa. "If you would bespell the lighting and thunder so that they will do no harm, you must bespell them with heads," Iuppiter said, repeating an ancient doom. "With heads of onions," Numa answered. "Of men," Iuppiter said. "Hair of men's heads," Numa said. "With living------" "With living pilchards," said Numa.
[paragraph continues] Iuppiter, without giving him an answer, withdrew from the earth. But to this day the Romans, to charm away the thunder and lightning of Iuppiter, sacrifice, not the heads of men, but onions, and the hair of men's heads, and living pilchards.
And so Numa made even the Gods milder in their dealings with men. Egeria it was who instructed him how to bring Iuppiter, the God of the sky and of thunder and lightning, down to earth so that he might be spoken to. Two very lowly Gods had to be captured by him first. Now there were two demi-gods who loved to play tricks on human beings, but who were very simple themselves and easily tricked: Picus and Faunus they were named; they frequented shady places and came beside clear springs. Into the spring that is on the mountain named Aventine, Numa poured a mixture of honey and wine. Picus and Faunus came to that spring: they bent to drink of the water there and they tasted of the wine and honey that was in the spring. They were delighted with what they tasted, and they lay by the water and drank, and played with each other and drank again. They drank till they became drunken and heavy; they fell into a sleep. Then Numa came upon them and took hold of them. The demi-gods changed themselves into all manner of shapes: Numa thought he had in his grasp a weasel and a bird, a shrub and a bunch of leaves. Still he held to them. He thought he had in his grasp a fish and a wolf-cub, a toad and a lizard. Still he held to them. At last Picus and Faunus came back to their own shapes and changed no more. Then Numa forced them to tell what they, the lowliest of the Gods, knew--how to bring Iuppiter down to the earth. They told him, and he let the odd-looking demi-gods run back into the shades. And thereafter he was able to speak with Iuppiter.
and silver; the simple food that they were eating took on the richest and most appetizing flavours. Those who were with Numa knew that Egeria had come amongst them.
They listened to a wondrous conversation between their king and the Goddess who was wont to instruct him. Not all of what they heard was clear to them. But they knew that Numa was soon to pass from amongst them.
And so it came to be. Numa died soon after that feast had been held. His body, by his own command, was not burned. Two coffins of stone were made ready: in one the King was laid; in the other were put the books he had written and the books he had consulted. The people knew that it was right to put these away; they knew that Numa, through his labours for them, through the training he had given them, had made all that was written in the books a part of their mind and their spirit. Then did they know how wise was the king who had ruled over them since the time that Romulus had departed from amongst them--Romulus who had made their state by means of war. This king had made the Muses known to them. He had taught them to reverence above all the Muse who is named Tacita, the Silent--the Roman Muse. Now he would bring them no more the counsel given him by the Goddess whom he sought beside the clear spring. Under the hill Ianiculum two coffins of stone were laid; one held Numa and the other held his sacred books. | 2019-04-24T12:27:46Z | null | 309.3 | 5,687 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

We were cautiously optimistic about New England's prospects. Just my luck going to the first home play off game we've lost since 1976. I'm a HUGE Wes Welker fan and I knew it wasn't going to be the same without him. (I plan on naming my next horse Welker. I have her all picked out in my head! She's a 15.2 or 3 super reliable, versatile OTTB that gets the job done. A real packer.) I pretty much knew what kind of game it was going to be in the first 17 seconds when Baltimore ran in for a touch down on the first snap. Everybody in the stadium watched, jaws dropped, stunned. Then Brady fumbled on the first possession. Yeah, it was that kind of game. So, we just kicked back, cheered and enjoyed our fabulous seats. It was still fun just to BE there. Yeah, it would have been even WAY more fun if we had won. But it's still amazing just seeing the players up close.
It was also wonderful watching Julian Edelman's star rising. We've been enjoying his progress all season. I expect great things from him over the next couple of years. He's a spunky ball of testosterone. Everybody was yelling JULIAN!! JULIAN!! every time he made a play. After the third preseason game, Rich posted one of his few status updates ever to FB. It just said "Yeah, Edelman can stay."
And now I get to experience the end of season let down... No more Patriots football? Until August? At least now we root against the Jets and the Colts. And Rich and I are determined to go to at least one or two games per year. Because it's reall y kind of awesome.

Ether remains at a major risk of breakdown against the US Dollar and Bitcoin. ETH/USD is currently trading below $200.00 and struggling to recover.
Ether failed to overcome selling pressure against the US Dollar and currently trading below $200.00.
Two key bearish trendlines with resistances at $210.00 and $225.00 on the 4-hour chart of ETH/USD continue to prevent recoveries.
ETH/BTC held the ground above 0.085BTC as Bitcoin price was under pressure versus all major cryptocurrencies.
Technically, the 4-hour chart indicators are gaining momentum in the bearish territory.
Can Ether Price Hold $175?
The past few days were mostly bearish for both ETH/USD and ETH/BTC. Every time buyers attempted a recovery, they faced negative sentiment and the price moved down.
The recent failure was near $200.00 in ETH/USD. Looking at the hourly chart, there is a confluence of bearish trendlines forming near $200.00 which recently acted as a resistance.
The pair is once again heading lower and trading below $190.00. An immediate support sits around the last swing low of $181.74. However, the most important support is now $174.08 (this month’s low).
There are chances of ETH/USD continuing lower and testing the $180.00 support zone. The pair has to remain above $175.00 to avoid any major declines in the near term. If sellers succeed in breaking $175.00, there can be a sell-off towards the $160.00-150.00 zone.
On the upside, the bearish trendlines with resistance at $200.00 can be seen as a short-term barrier. Moving on to the 4-hour chart, there are two key bearish trendlines with resistances at $210.00 and $225.00.
On the downside, the $175.00 support is an important junction for both buyers and sellers. A break and close below $175.00 won’t be easy since it provided support on 2-3 occasions.
In terms of the market sentiment, it’s mostly Bitcoin’s sell-off what led the weakness in Ether as well. And clearly, the price is strongly bearish in the short term.
To sum up, Ether is facing a tough period of selling pressure and only positive sentiment from investors can hold losses below $175.00.
The RSI turned firmly lower after failing to break the 50 level.
The MACD is accelerating momentum in the bearish zone. | 2019-04-19T12:19:22Z | null | 1,076.5 | 2,225 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
Context: Finished this at Stephen & Abigail’s house where we first met Matthew their son.
Finally read this book. Twice I’ve started it and I realised I needed to finish it before I got on the ferry to Shanghai because it’s banned in China and I didn’t want it taken off me in customs.Needn’t have worried about that really. Customs didn’t check anything boarding and only x-rayed the bag getting off.So, was it worth reading. Oh yes, I’d say so. It’s amazing, being here in China right now, to think that everyone my parents’ age walking around would have first-hand experience of the things that Chang relates in her autobiographical account of three generations of her family.
It was a great insight into the recent history of China and an eye-opener for me because, despite knowing something of the political background to what she describes, I’d never heard how this all impacted the average person. I hesitate to say “average” though because Jung Chang’s family were certainly not average. She was one of the privileged ones and her family position and connections have certainly enabled her to not only escape China but get the education that enabled her to write the book in the first place. Many others were not so privileged and their stories will never be heard this side of the grave.
It’s fairly well written although this would be my biggest gripe with the book. I found it disjointed in places. While the overall book is about her family, there are tons of little anecdotes and each of these is prefaced by a hasty sketch of the political or historical background. This made the book read a little roughly in quite a few places. I also felt that her father should have been the central figure in the book because although her grandmother and mother are key figures, it’s the father’s life which really epitomises the whole era. An amazing man who lived a tragically sad life.
At the age of fifteen my grandmother became the concubine of a warlord general, the police chief of a tenuous national government of China.
I was eager to embrace the world.
This was my best non-fiction of last year. I really loved it.
This site rocks! My History teacher gave me this book as a prize at the end of high school. I agree with the review, in that it was disjointed in some places and at certain points it didnt seem to flow. It took a few attempts but I got through it in around a month. Before reading, I had little historical/political knowledge concerning China and so at times found it confusing. A small amount of research and background reading remedied this though, and I thoroughly enjoyed the stories of all three women. | 2019-04-20T04:15:32Z | null | 294 | 2,634 | null | 0.052771 | [

The biggest knock on Marvin Menzies was he coached a style of basketball that went the way of video-rental stores the moment the Golden State Warriors and their emphasis on winning from the outside with positionless players began to capture NBA championships.
But after watching his UNLV frontcourt get decimated by injuries, Menzies showed he was up with the times and adjusted on the fly.
The Rebels had managed the trade-off in changing their attack by giving up rebounds for more 3-pointers until Saturday’s 94-77 loss at San Diego State .
He said his track record at New Mexico State showed he was willing to adapt to the personnel, and that he will continue to at UNLV. | 2019-04-25T20:50:51Z | null | 495.7 | 675 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

There are two types of Cost Analysis provided by UBI Research. One is the BOM cost of flexible OLEDs produced by Samsung Display, and the other is WRGB OLED panel production cost of LG Display.
The material costs for Galaxy S and flexible OLED for iPhone produced by Samsung Display, the largest OLED maker for mobile devices such as smartphones, tablet PCs and smart watches, are the key information that latecomers should know in order to secure cost competitiveness. BOM cost of flexible OLED used in Galaxy S9 of Samsung Display in the second quarter decreased about 10% compared to the previous quarter. The reason for the cost decrease is that the yield of the whole process has been improved.
The manufacturing technology of OLED panel for TVs includes WRGB OLED structure currently being manufactured by LG Display, solution processed OLED using inkjet technology, and finally QD-OLED (blue OLED) being developed by Samsung Display. The 77-inch WRGB OLED produced by LG Display is estimated to be in the surplus after the depreciation is over. The depreciation of the E4-1 line, which produces 55 inches and 65 inches, is scheduled to be finished next year. As a result, 55-inch and 65-inch WRGB OLED panels will be competitive compared to LCD and other OLED technologies. In the 65-inch OLED TV, which is the flagship product of the premium TV market, panel manufacturing cost is analyzed as US$ 967. Among overall manufacturing costs, the panel cost accounts for the largest portion at 52%. | 2019-04-25T22:29:06Z | null | 510.1 | 1,500 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
Wayne Marsh (left) in discussion with State Minister Julian Robinson at the product launch.
KINGSTON, Jamaica (JIS) -- A new digital tool that can transform the way businesses advertise and market their products was launched in Kingston, Tuesday, March 18.
Branditise allows companies to effectively utilize channels, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Blogs to grow their business. It was designed by experienced developer, Wayne Marsh, who unveiled it at a breakfast event at the Terra Nova Hotel in Kingston.
Introducing Branditise.com Marsh explained that it is a cloud-based solution that can be accessed anywhere and anytime. It can allow companies to establish their digital media marketing goals; define key performance indicators; define target audience; develop content framework and social media policy as well as create a scorecard.
The Branditise tool also allows companies to manage and monitor major digital media accounts from one platform. It also allows businesses to measure, for example, fans and followers’ demographics, plus geo-location, gender and age; website and blog visitor traffic demographics, among others.
Addressing the launch, State Minister of Science, Technology, Energy and Mining, Julian Robinson, reiterated the Government’s commitment to the development of the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) industry, and to provide the supporting mechanisms to ensure that technology entrepreneurs can succeed on a global basis.
He said the government will be facilitating entrepreneurship in the Information Technology (IT) sector by making it easier for young developers to access financing, through the soon to be launched Venture Capital Industry, which is being administered by the Development Bank of Jamaica (DBJ).
Robinson also noted that plans are well advanced for the establishment of ‘Start-Up Jamaica’ later this year, which will be an incubator/growth accelerator programme that will provide mentorship, marketing and other support for young technology entrepreneurs to help them build their business.
“It is going to be a physical hub, which is important, because one of the major benefits of small incubators which are accelerators worldwide, is the opportunity for entrepreneurs from all over to collaborate and share ideas,” he said.
The State Minister congratulated Marsh for sticking with his vision for developing Branditise, a product that can solve problems and can be used outside of Jamaica.
“I hope that we will see many more young entrepreneurs like Wayne, building and developing solutions,” he said. | 2019-04-24T00:32:31Z | null | 238.4 | 2,576 | null | 0.716615 | [

ERC deliberately maintains a business disposition that absolutely minimizes our susceptibility to exclusion from services contracts due to Organizational Conflicts of Interest (OCI).
In the Aerospace and Defense (A&D) industry, contracting can be partitioned into two general categories: (1) product development and (2) support services. Many A&D contracting firms have business bases dominated by one category or the other, while some companies choose to pursue business equally in both categories. Maintaining a business portfolio with both product development and support services is generally not problematic. However, for some Federal Government A&D support services contracts, where the contractor is responsible for aiding and assisting the Government client in mission critical programmatic decisions, real and perceived OCI concerns arise.
ERC has an uncompromising commitment to maintaining a support services-only business base. Consequently, when our Federal Government clients ask us to provide engineering and technical judgment to them for their programmatic decisions, we can provide our service without real or perceived biases because we do not act as a product development contractor, nor a 2nd or 3rd tier subcontractor to any product development prime contractor. Additionally, we have intentionally avoided corporate alliances with any major A&D product development contractor to ensure we have no real or perceived biases when we serve our Federal Government clients in independent assessment roles evaluating A&D product development contractors' systems' performance. | 2019-04-24T14:42:13Z | null | 554.2 | 1,591 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

An East Avenue man has been ordered not to have a identity card or card that has a data strip or security chip unless it’s in his own name.
Christopher John Michael Runions, 40, was arrested in December and charged with mischief for smashing a window, breaking an undertaking to the court by communicating with a co-accused and having a stolen debit card and chequebook in his possession.
He was allowed to plead guilty to possessing or selling ID, breach of probation and failing to comply with court conditions.
Justice Robert Gee gave Runions credit for having served 102 days in custody and ordered him back to jail for 138 days.
Nine other charges were withdrawn.
A Grey Street man who defied court orders and assaulted a woman last April was ordered to serve his time in weekend jail when he appeared in Ontario Court.
Douglas Henry McCauley, 28, pleaded guilty to threatening and breaching his bail conditions.
Last April 12, McCauley wasn’t in his home during a court-ordered curfew and, when he assaulted the woman, he also damaged some of her property.
Justice Robert Gee credited McCauley with already having served the equivalent of 42 days and ordered him to go to weekend jail for a further 60 days. McCauley also must maintain a three-year probation.
A Victoria Street man who illegally entered a St. Paul Avenue home was ordered to get counselling for a drug issue when he came before the Ontario Court recently.
James Bradley Shillington, 33, pleaded guilty to entering the house last Sept. 18. Charges of possession of break-in instruments and breaking probation were withdrawn.
He also pleaded guilty to possession of an illegal drug at the time.
On Nov. 19, he breached his bail conditions and pleaded guilty to that, too.
Justice Robert Gee credited Shillington with already having served 146 days in jail before his sentenced and ordered that he go back to jail for a further two weeks.
A Campbell Street man who escalated his harassment of a woman last year was sentenced to time served and ordered to pay her back for damage he caused.
Allan Jon Rutherford, 41, assaulted the woman on Aug. 1 and damaged both her cellphone and a vehicle window.
After making bail, he contacted the woman on Aug. 5, despite a court order to stay away from her.
On Dec. 5, Rutherford was charged with repeatedly communicating with the woman, causing her to fear for her safety.
In court, he pleaded guilty to assault, mischief under $5,000, criminal harassment and two counts of breach of bail. A charge of publishing an intimate image without consent was withdrawn.
Justice Robert Gee credited Rutherford with already having served 90 days, gave him a suspended sentence on his mischief charge and ordered that he pay the woman $677 in damages.
Rutherford will remain on probation for two years.
A Merritt Lane man who broke court orders in various ways was sentenced to 90 days in jail when he came to Ontario Court recently.
Garrett Joseph Lahey, 26, pleaded guilty to breaking probation orders twice: by not reporting to his probation officer in April 2016, and by communicating with a woman he had been ordered to avoid in August 2017. At that time he also obstructed an officer trying to arrest him and he pleaded guilty to that as well.
Justice Robert Gee ordered Lahey to jail for 90 days and placed him on a further probation of one year. | 2019-04-19T00:32:09Z | null | 599.2 | 3,352 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
Business Law - What is a statement of partnership?
Return to "What is Business Law?"
A statement of partnership is a very simple document created for general partnerships, when the partnership is first being setup, and which is then filed with the state. It basically identifies the existence of the partnership, and notifies the state of the partnership’s existence. Most states do not require partnerships to draft and file a statement of partnership, but suggest you do so. However, you should check your state law to ensure that you are in compliance with its requirements. | 2019-04-24T04:26:01Z | null | 327.4 | 577 | null | 0.710572 | [

Day of Caring is only offered on Wednesday’s and Friday’s for 2 Hour time slots with a maximum of 10 people. Our House is currently under construction now through July, 2018. With all the construction we are limited to the number of volunteers to help facilitate chores around our House.
Day of Caring is an opportunity for businesses and corporations to donate a morning or afternoon to help our non-profit complete needed work projects and to learn more about the mission of providing a home-away-from-home for families of sick children who have to travel to our area to receive life-saving medical care.

We value the time and service that individuals and businesses are offering to assist our mission and provide comfort for our families. In order to use your time and ours wisely, we will plan specific projects for each group.
If your group is looking for creative ways to help support our mission and the families we serve, may we suggest the following team building opportunities.
We have partnered with “Simple Creations Team Building.LLC“ which offers assistance in designing impactful events to support the mission of RMHSNJ.

I just wanted to send you a note to say thank you for all of your hard work. I received my television Saturday morning.... RIGHT ON TIME...and by two very helpful and polite delivery men. They were very knowledgeable and went through everything with me. Couldn't of asked for a better experience from start to finish. It makes a lot of difference when considering who to recommend or where to shop again. Especially in these tough economic times.
Please continue your good service and kind ways....there isn't enough of it!
I recently rented some furniture to stage my house at your Hamilton location. Everyone I spoke with was extremely helpful and went the extra mile. The manager Sherry, and a gentlemen in the showroom (I apologize I did not get his name) and Trevor the delivery person and his partners were absolutely awesome. I found the pricing to be very reasonable and the delivery service was exceptional. As a result of the staging my home sold in 6 days for the full asking price. I am very pleased and I would like you to know that you and your team played a huge roll in this success. Thank you so much. I will recommend your service to everyone I know.
I began shopping at SMART choice a few years ago when I got my first place. I have nothing but compliments for the store. The sales people were very helpful in explaining how the lease to own plan works. The delivery was scheduled with no snags and they set up the furniture for me. I didn't have to touch a thing. The furniture is excellent and I will continue to come to SMART choice.
I was very impressed on the overall appearance of the store, plus the delivery was on time and they set up my brand new bedroom set. I didn't have to do anything.
Just came in to browse and I was amazed on the service and knowledge that the sales rep provided. | 2019-04-18T22:17:40Z | null | 304.8 | 1,816 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

It impressed audiences when it was revealed at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2016, and will be available as a conventional hybrid, a plug-in hybrid, or an 'electric-only' model.
Contact our helpful sales team today to register your interest in the new model.
The five-door Ioniq has a neat, modern style, with a prominent grille flanked by wraparound headlights and large air intakes that emphasise its performance. A low roofline gives it a coupé-like appearance, as well as reducing its drag coefficient to just 0.24 – benefiting both performance and economy. Efficiency figures are yet to be released, but the original Korean edition achieves combined fuel consumption of 63.3mpg.
In the past, many hybrid cars have found their loadspace and legroom confined, due to the presence of a bulky battery. Hyundai’s innovative engineering has rendered this less of a problem; the vehicle offers excellent headroom and legroom for front and rear passengers, along with a highly respectable 750 litres of loadspace.
The new Ioniq’s 1.6 litre, 104bhp “Kappa” naturally-aspirated petrol engine provides class-leading thermal efficiency and ready performance by itself, and this is only enhanced by the 43bhp electric motor. The combined torque output of 265Nm gives the Ioniq the ability to reach a theoretical top speed of 115mph. A dual-clutch six-speed automatic transmission enables silky-smooth acceleration.
The Ioniq comes in a single, well-equipped trim level, with numerous advanced features to enhance safety and convenience. A 7” high-resolution TFT screen offers access to a variety of infotainment functions; it also comes with a seven-year free subscription to TomTom LIVE services, which give you updated information in real time on weather, traffic, speed cameras, and points of interest. Dual-zone air conditioning and smartphone integration also help to keep you comfortable and connected.
The all-new Hyundai Ioniq is available to test drive at Berkeley Vale in Thornbury, Gloucestershire. Now in both Hybrid and Full Electric versions! Contact us to book your Test Drive and receive the latest info. | 2019-04-19T07:37:10Z | null | 448.4 | 2,113 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

The Ink & Blood Lenormand will be the third lenormand style deck I’ve created. The characters used in the cards come from the works of French traditionalist painter William-Adolphe Bouguereau (November 30, 1825 – August 19, 1905). The theme is based upon my love of the Trash Polka style of tattooing. This is a very stark style that is mainly done in shocking reds, black, and gray tones. The imagery is usually just as stark with a lot of clip-art overtones to some of it and repeating patterns. I wanted there to be a little more color to the tattoos I give to Bouguereau’s characters though, so I’ve allowed for lighter shades of red and a few ochre shades in some of the cards. All of the individual card symbolism can be found in the tattoo designs. Below are rough drafts of the cards as I finish them.
I have no real projected (that should read hopeful) release date for this deck as of yet. When I have the time I’ve been working on it more than my other projects. When I do print it I have in mind for it to be a really well packaged deck that is available only in limited edition. The cards will be round (lacking the current boarder) and printed on a slightly higher grade linen cardstock. I also want to have nice two part card boxes with tissue wrapping inside and embossing on the cover. Ideally I’d also like the companion book to be hardbound as I’m putting a lot more information into it than previous books. In other words, this is one of those decks I want to be rather fancy. More to come. If you hover your mouse over the cards you’ll find which ones have corresponding entries on the site. | 2019-04-19T06:40:40Z | null | 297.7 | 1,612 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
While adrift in Medical School, I had the opportunity of meeting Dr Terrance McNally and Dr Sam Iyer at Downstate who helped me reach an epiphany. Yes, Medicine was challenging, but it could also be enjoyable. And yes, I COULD do it! With this direction, I did my Internship, Residency and eventually Fellowship at Long Island Jewish Hospital. There, I met some additional outstanding Gastroenterologists, Drs. Katz, Katzka and Bank who were my role models of knowledge, understanding and compassion. Since 1981, I have been practicing in Eastern Connecticut, fulfilling the pathway so ably set by my mentors. I have been actively teaching at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine and UNECOM. I am proud to have been involved in policy formation in Connecticut and have devoted my time to numerous hospital and national committees. Teaching is my PASSION and I hope to share that passion with you. | 2019-04-21T20:43:18Z | null | 445.4 | 908 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

At Focus on Eyes, we strive to meet all of your eye and vision care needs. Corrective lens evaluations and prescription management are provided by our optometrist in Richardson. After a comprehensive eye and vision evaluation, Dr. Karen Pressburger will discuss the variety of contact lens options with you to select the type that best fits your vision needs and lifestyle. If you suffer from dry eye, allergies, or recurring eye infections, speak with our staff to determine whether contact lenses are right for you.
Prior to prescribing contact lenses, Dr. Pressburger determines what level of vision correction you require. Refractive error (commonly known as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism depending on the error) is evaluated by measuring how the eyes focus when a series of different lenses are placed in front of them. An optometrist may use either a phoropter or an automated instrument to take these measurements. To schedule an appointment for a vision evaluation with our Richardson optometrist, call (972) 644-2020 today.
After determining the level of refractive error, Dr. Pressburger works with you to determine whether contact lenses or glasses are best for your lifestyle. If you suffer from certain conditions, such as dry eye or allergies, glasses may be the most comfortable corrective solution. Contact lenses are available in either soft or rigid gas permeable form. Contact lenses need to be changed daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, depending on what type of lens you select. Specialized contact lenses, such as bifocal contact lenses, are also available for patients with special eye conditions. Call us at (972) 644-2020 if you are interested in learning if contact lenses are a good fit for you.
Advances in contact lens technology have created great options for cosmetic and prosthetic lenses. Custom contact lenses can be created to camouflage any color variation or irregularity and produce a natural eye color. Cosmetic lenses are also available to transform your eye color. Call us at (972) 644-2020 and speak to our knowledgeable staff if you are interested in modifying or changing your eye color with contact lenses. | 2019-04-18T18:41:02Z | null | 551 | 2,172 | null | 0.907459 | [

Last week, Lyft beat Uber to the IPO starting line by filing its S-1 registration with the SEC. The document provides a first detailed look at audited financial statements for the operational and financial performance of a major rideshare provider over the past three years.
My take on the numbers buried in Lyft’s 272-page S-1 document is that Lyft’s path to profitability seems murkier than ever, and drivers should rightfully be concerned that Lyft will be pressured to further squeeze their stagnant earnings.
The root cause of Lyft’s continued heavy losses remains the structural weaknesses in its ridesharing business model. As I noted in a previous Forbes article addressing “Why Can’t Uber Make Money?,”ridesharing companies face bounded demand, abundant supply, undifferentiated service, low barriers to entry, low customer switching costs, high variable costs, virtually no economies of scale, limited network effects and considerable regulatory and legal risk.
The net effect is that while Uber and Lyft have created enormous value for consumers, propelling rapid growth, the ridesharing business model simply doesn’t generate enough profit to enable attractive compensation to drivers and sizable profits to shareholders. Lyft’s IPO filing corroborates this reality.
1. Lyft’s revenue per ride has doubled over the past three years, while driver compensation has remained flat Faced with chronic losses, Lyft has clearly been under pressure to increase revenues and control costs, starting with driver compensation — by far its largest single expense item. Despite succeeding on both fronts, Lyft’s year-on-year operating losses grew by 38% in 2018 to $978 million.
Lyft’s S-1 thus confirms what drivers have suspected for years,– that the company has been keeping an increasingly higher proportion of passenger fares and fees at the expense of drivers. During this period, Lyft switched to a new (“upfront”) pricing policy, increased fixed booking fees and imposed minimum passenger fare levels, effectively decoupling passenger pricing from driver mileage and time rate-based compensation. The net result allowed Lyft to increase its revenue per ride from $1.92 in Q1 2016 to $3.75 in Q4 2018, while driver compensation per ride slightly decreased from $9.49 per ride to $9.32 over the same period.
Note that Lyft has considerably decreased its per-ride outlays on sales and marketing over the past three years, which includes recruitment incentives and driver bonuses. As such, driver compensation relative to Lyft revenue may have become even more disadvantaged than indicated above.
Despite impressive growth in ridership and revenue, Lyft’s net losses have continued to rise. The reason is that operating costs remain considerably above revenues, and the absence of scale economies prevents the company from scaling efficiently. As shown in Exhibit 3, Uber lost 45 cents per dollar of revenue in 2018. And despite doubling its revenues last year, major operating costs increased at roughly the same rate (Exhibit 4). Given the company has been in business for over six years and is already operating at considerable scale, it is unlikely that further growth will fundamentally improve Lyft’s economics.
Starting last month, Lyft sharply ramped up discounts to one-third of its customers in anticipation of its IPO. While discount rates vary by location, in my neck of the woods (Connecticut), the promotion offered a 25% base fare reduction for up to ten trips per month (capping the price cut to $4 per ride). Given that Lyft’s average revenue per ride was only about $3.50 last year, offering $4 discount coupons to a large bloc of consumers can be expected to take a heavy toll on the company’s already shaky P&L. If the intent is to gain market share bragging rights during its IPO roadshow, Lyft’s tactic may allow the company to cross the 40% US market share threshold against Uber. Better yet, the P&L hit won’t have to be disclosed until after Lyft’s IPO. Nonetheless, experience with past price wars in this sector has proved quite harmful to profitability.
Several court challenges to Lyft’s practice of classifying drivers as contractors. An adverse, precedent-setting ruling could significantly increase Lyft’s costs and liabilities.
While it is common practice for companies to be highly conservative in identifying risk factors in their S-1 filings, Lyft’s self-assessment may be chillingly accurate in this instance. | 2019-04-26T11:11:27Z | null | 719 | 4,449 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
