Vanishing Point | #TLCBookTours

Leave a Comment /
Vanishing Point Book Tour Stop
Welcome to this TLC Book Tours stop for Vanishing Point by E.V. Legters, the story of Angela, a discontent housewife who strays. At it's most basic, Vanishing Point is a quick read, filled with bad decisions, a bleak outlook, and unlikable characters...but it's entirely relatable.

I mean, life is hard. Marriage is hard. Adulting is hard. It's just a matter of how we decide to deal with it, and Angela makes a mistake that alters not only her life, but life of everybody close to her. Adultery is a tough subject, and this book revolves around it, so if it angers you, this is probably not the best choice for your summer reading.

Oddly enough, even though I didn't care much for any of the characters, I wanted to keep reading to see how everything played out. And while it's not a feel-good book, it's possible that reading about Angela's life decisions could make you feel a little bit better about the way you are handling life (unless you're in a similar situation).

As far as food goes, there were a few references, but it wasn't really a part of the story. If I were to choose a dish/recipe to represent Vanishing Point, though - it would be "Cheater's Pie". There's a moment when Angela and her young lover meet in a diner and order coffee and a single slice of pie. The description doesn't go beyond that. I don't know what kind it was, or if they even ever ate it.

But to make a Cheater's Pie, simple buy a pre-made pie crust, dump in a can of pre-made filling, and bake until done. If you're sharing a slice...especially with your younger, vagrant, slightly dirty must share a single fork.

paperback: pages

"foodie" read: no

opening sentence: Nothing has changed except Angela Dunnewald.

teaser: “Nothing’s changed except Angela Dunnewald.” From the inside of her life and marriage, Angela discovers she’s gone quite mad. Her sense of self, of direction, has frayed and she finds herself lost and alone despite a calendar full of society events, charity meetings, shopping dates, and dinners her aloof husband expects her to attend. Her best friend is a vivacious flirt, but Angela only strays when she discovers a young drifter haunting the grounds of her house. Desire to be intimate unlocks the need for achievement; Angela becomes unrecognizable to her peers and to herself.

Legters’ new novel offers betrayal, passion, secrets, and truth, all from inside a world that threatens to suffocate to the vanishing point.

Her first, Connected Underneath, published under her given name, Linda, instead of her chosen name, E.V., was released last year and is an INDIE Press Book of the Year finalist.

Smith: "It's worth the risk to me."

by: William Allen

The All Vol Call in Show

Photo | Trey Smith | Twitter

In October of 2018, physicians discovered a recurrence of blood clots in Tennessee Vols star Offensive lineman Trey Smith. He was the first Vol true freshman to start at left tackle in years while earning All SEC Second Team and SEC All Freshman in 2017. He’s since received consistent treatment and started 12 games in 2019 while earning the Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year.

With the 2020 college football season on-the-line due to COVID-19, Smith has spoken out about his concern that the season will be cancelled.

“It would tick me off to my core if we’re snubbed and that opportunity gets taken away from me to go out there and prove myself,” Smith told ESPN. “I’m not knocking any president or chancellor, who absolutely do fabulous jobs, but it would be awesome as players if we could be informed and heard from and quit finding out things about the season possibly being canceled on Twitter and in the media.”

College football stars such as Trevor Lawrence of Clemson, Justin Fields of Ohio State and President Donald Trump are pushing for sports to resume this fall. The United States President recently retweeted a post from Lawrence that said, “The student athletes have been working too hard for their seasons to be cancelled.” Trey Smith wanting to return to college football despite the warnings that COVID-19 could significantly increase his chances of severe health because of blood clots on his lung is a big decision that shouldn’t be taken lightly.

University of Vermont released an article by writer Jennifer Nachbur on studies done by Mary Cushman, M.D. UVM Professor of Medicine and Director, Thrombosis and Hemostasis Program.

“Obesity is a risk factor for these abnormal blood clots,” says Cushman. “Most athletes aren’t obese, but research suggest that larger people are more at risk.”

Athletes who use their arms heavily are at increased risk of having blood clots in or near the arms. When the thoracic outlet near the base of the neck is narrowed by enlarged muscles or injury, the veins passing through the outlet are susceptible to clots due to the decreased passage.

Well known athlete and tennis icon Serena Williams had a Pulmonary Embolism (PE) in 2011 after a foot injury and a long air flight. Williams nearly lost her life. A (PE) is a condition in which one or more arteries in the lungs become blocked by a blood clot. Most times it’s caused by blood clots that travel from the legs or, rarely, other parts of the body which is a Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).

Trey Smith is not the only athlete to be diagnosed with blood clots on his lung during a promising career. Miami Heat basketball star power forward Chris Bosh had a PE in February 2015 and missed the rest of the season while undergoing treatment. Bosh missed the 2016 NBA Playoffs after he was diagnosed with a DVT in his leg. Bosh fought to resume his playing career for three years before announcing his retirement in February 2019.

Chargers offensive tackle Russell Okung survived a near death experience in 2019, reported by the Los Angeles Times. On June 1, 2019 Okung suffered a PE at camp.

“After experiencing unusual chest pains at practice, I went to urgent care out of an abundance of caution,” the post read. “According to doctors who treated me, the decision to do so saved my life.” Okung, 31, is a two time Pro Bowler and was set to begin his 10th NFL season in 2019. He now plays left tackle for the Carolina Panthers after missing 10 games last year due to blood clots. Today he’s evaluating whether to retire due to the spread of coronavirus across the country.

The question is can athletes return to their sport to play after being diagnosed with blood clots, PE or DVT? Mary Cushman, M.D. at UVA Medical Center goes on to mention, “There’s no medical guidelines for athletes so the treatment is customized.”

“If the clot occurs spontaneously, even one episode of clotting can mean a recommendation for long term treatment with blood thinning medication”, says Cushman. “For professional athletes, this might be the end of their career, although every sport is different.”

January 9, 2020, Trey Smith announced he will return for his senior season at Tennessee instead of entering the 2020 NFL Draft. ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. had Smith slotted as the 7th best offensive guard in the 2020 NFL Draft. Smith’s decision to stay for one more season is key for an offensive line that returns the starting lineup from the Gator Bowl victory over Indiana. If Cade Mays becomes eligible this season after transferring from Georgia, the Vols offensive line will have one of the best offensive lines in the SEC.

Digital Music: My Demo Tracks by #Graphene

I am a digital music composer enthusiast. So, let me share with you my original demo tracks.

Graphene qubits

#Graphene - Abort (Original Demo)

For all tracks I used Fruity Loops (FL Studio). For this one specifically, I used an interesting speech from NASA audio collection (https://archive.org/details/nasaaudiocollection)

Click play to here it!

#Graphene - Cognitive Dissonance [Original Demo]

I think it's very important to promote "critical thinking" or "thinking out of the box". A way to do so while talking with people is using cognitive dissonance. Based on this idea, I named this track cognitive dissonance.

Listen it to know why!

#Graphene - Qubeats [Original Demo]

Disruptive materials and technologies like graphene and quantum computing will change our world in a dramatic way. Based on it, I decided to pick up the nickname #Graphene and I named this track Qubeats in honor of the new era of quantum computing.

House Passes Bill Protecting Doctors, Dentists, and Optometrists Right to Set Pricing

By Brandon Moseley
Alabama Political Reporter

On Tuesday, February 13, the Alabama House of Representatives passed legislation preventing licensing boards from requiring that medical professionals; specifically doctors, dentists, and optometrists from being required to accept any sort of insurance in order to be licensed by state of Alabama.  The legislation, House Bill 6 (HB 6) is sponsored by Representative Becky Nordgren (R) from Gadsden.

Rep. Nordgren said that basically what this legislation does is limit licensing to strictly merit based.  It will not be based on whether or not medical professionals take a particular kind of health insurance or not.

Rep. Mary Moore (D) from Birmingham opposed the legislation.  Moore said that doctors should be required to take Medicare and Medicaid patients to be licensed by the state of Alabama.

Rep. Nordgren said that the state of Massachusetts has made the acceptance of their state insurance a condition of licensing.  Rep. Nordgren said, “I want the state of Alabama to keep the excellence at the same bar that we do now.

Rep. Oliver Robinson (D) from Birmingham said, “You are saying that we don’t want to do what Massachusetts does?”  “I am willing to bet that they have a far better healthcare system than Alabama does.”

Rep. Nordgren said, “I don’t want to speak for the Massachusetts healthcare community but we want to make sure that we have merit based licensing.” “We don’t want at some point for the licensing board to make acceptance of insurance as a condition for licensing.”

Rep. Patricia Todd (D) from Birmingham said, “My wife is from Massachusetts so I know a lot about Massachusetts. We are 47th in healthcare they are 4th. If there is a state we want to model after it is Massachusetts.”

Rep. Nordgren said, “We do not want a board to require that medical professionals participate in any sort of healthcare plan.”

Rep. John Knight (D) from Montgomery said, “We put a lot of money in UAB and we have doctors getting their degree there and then they come out and say that they won’t take Medicaid, Medicare, or anything that the state is involved in??”  Knight proposed amending Nordgren’s bill to exempt professionals who went to a taxpayer supported college, like UAB, Alabama, or Auburn.

Rep. Nordgren refused to agree to Knight’s amendment.

Rep. Laura Hall (D) said, “You are just turning your back on the sick.”

Rep. Christopher John England (D) from Tuscaloosa said, “This is currently not a problem in Alabama has there been any talk of this?”

Rep. England said, “Lets say that Governor Bentley expands Medicaid and there are 350,000 new people with insurance and doctors start refusing to take Medicaid.”  “I don’t see anything wrong with saying that you don’t discriminate against people I don’t see anything wrong with saying that in order to get a license that you have to take Medicaid or some other sort of insurance.”

Rep. Nordgren said, “Licensing should be based on merit and I believe that with all my heart.”

Rep England said that with the rollout of the President’s healthcare exchanges some Doctors are already beginning to eliminate a large number of their patients.  “We need to be able to tell doctors you need to treat a certain percentage of patients,” who take Medicare, Medicaid, and state supported health insurance.  England warned that we were moving toward a two tiered system where, “Going forward a lot more people are going to have Medicaid and they won’t have access to the same doctors,” as people who have off the exchange insurance or who can afford to pay for care with cash.

Rep. John Rogers (D) from Birmingham said, “I talked with UAB and they said that they are totally opposed to this bill they said that this is a bad bill for the University.”  “They said that this is bad for UAB.  Nobody has talked to them at all.  They have been opposed to it from day one.”

Rep. Nordgren said “I have been working the Alabama Medical Association and doctors in my district and none of them I have talked to are opposed to this bill.”

Rep. Jack Williams (R) from Vestavia said, “I talked with Porter Bannister (UAB’s lobbyist) and they (UAB) have no position on the bill.”

Rep. Elaine Beech (D) from Clarkesville said she supports the bill and wishes that it could be extended to pharmacists.  Beech said that different insurances pay providers different amounts for the same good or service and that in her pharmacy practice, “There are insurance’s that you can’t make any money on.”  “I can see why a doctor doesn’t take some insurances.”

Rep. Darrio Melton (D) from Selma said, “Where are these physicians coming from?…Most of these physicians are coming from state funded schools.  They are not coming from private schools…Is it fair for physicians educated in state funded schools to deny state funded insurance?…Part of my concern is that we have some physicians in Connecticut that are refusing to take patients with insurance on the Healthcare Exchange.” Melton proposed amending the bill exempting state supported insurances.  “It is hypocritical to take state funds to attend state schools and then refuse to take state funded insurance…You don’t go into medicine to make money.”

Advertisement. Scroll to continue reading.

Rep. Nordgren refused to amend her bill.

Rep.  Mary Moore (D) from Birmingham said, “I worked for over 30 years  I paid into Medicare for 30 years.  When I turned 65 I had to go on to Medicare. My doctor refused to see me once I got onto Medicare…We need to leave the door open because most patients are going to be on Medicare and Medicaid…So If I can’t charge you through the roof then a doctor can say I won’t see you?…Is a doctor in the business to make money or to take care of you?  This is a sad epithet that doctors will charge you whatever they can rather than taking a standardized accepted rate.  That is wrong and until you experience it, it is not a problem.  Talk to the people in your district and ask them how they feel about a doctor refusing to accept their insurance…This bill could eventually lead to more and more doctors saying that they will not take certain people healthcare will be only for the wealthy.”  Moore said that the legislature is too concerned about the rights of doctors and not concerned about the rights of the people and the poor.

Nordgren’s bill passed with bipartisan support by a margin of 77 to 16.  It now goes on to the Alabama Senate.

Senate companion bill SB22 has been scheduled to appear on the floor on Thursday.

Your Alumni Community - Where Pragmatism Roams

Who are they? What do they need? What do they like?
More importantly: how can you find answers to these questions, and address them accordingly?

The Devotees

Love the school,
no matter what.

The Pragmatics

Give 'em value,
they'll give you the world.

The Estranged

No matter what you do,
You'll never reach them.

The typical alumni community is comprised of 3 groups:

  • "Devotees" - Usually about 10 to 20 percent of your alumni. To them, affinity is the name of the game. These folks are 'big fans' of the organization and require very little in order to maintain their ties, engage, and contribute in one form or another. They're going to belong no matter what.
  • "Pragmatics" - 70 to 80 percent of your alumni. The common theme here is, "What have you done for me lately?" Pragmatics consistently indicate that they feel underserved and for that reason do not engage. This is a huge percentage of your alumni that are all too often not given the attention they deserve. They want to participate and interact--even contribute--but only if they get something in return: Value.
  • "Estranged" - 5 to 15 percent of your alumni. They simply do not care much for the institution. They are hard to find, harder to engage, and are just not interested.

Memories of early logos

I was looking through some old photos recently and came across some shots I’d almost forgotten about. I’d gone to school in Kamloops, and started my freelance design career there as my work started getting seen and known throughout the community. I’d been fortunate enough to create for a number of nightclubs, a tanning studio, an auto body shop, restaurants, a ski and snowboard company and many others – with no idea of where it was all going.

It was always a thrill to see a poster or sign that I’d created for another business up around the city. Eventually I was asked to help create logos for new startups, and it immediately became clear to me what an incredible honour and responsibility this was.

One of my existing clients had decided to open a new business at the local ski resort, Sun Peaks. It was to be a “soup bar”, that would serve up to 9 different gourmet soups daily, and appeal to the upscale, on-the-go crowd of the resort. We had several meetings, I did my research and went through my processes, eventually creating the approved logo. The owner was happy, I sent over the files, and carried on.

Spoon Soup BarA few weeks went by and I needed to go up to Sun Peaks to meet with another client. As I walked through the resort, I chanced upon the logo I’d created, now made real, physically right in front of me with freshly fallen snow resting upon it. It stopped me dead in my tracks, and I stared at it for a long while. I watched resort visitors walk past, some glancing at the sign I’d made, some even looking, pointing and going in. I’d created the icon that would represent this business and everyone that worked for it, and here it was, collecting snow and looking right in place alongside the multi million dollar hotels and other trendy shops. Suddenly, I was infatuated with the art and science of logos.

Spoon Soup Bar is long since gone, but it will always stick with me as one of the first logos I created. No matter how many I am fortunate enough to create, it will always be an honour and an incredible responsibility.  A logo is never just another paycheque – it’s about helping bring someone’s dream to life, and that? That should always stop you in your tracks with wonder.

Toronto Raptors unveil new logo

The Toronto Raptors announced their new logo for next year’s season this week. Almost immediately, the Brooklyn Nets (who eliminated the Raptors from the playoffs last season), tweeted their thoughts about the logo:
“.@Raptors Looks familiar”

Now why would they say that? Let’s take a look:

Now, granted, there’s only so many different ways you can draw a basketball… but maybe Brooklyn has a point.

What do you think? Is the Raptors’ new logo too similar, or is this a coincidence resulting form each team using a long-standing formula for circular logos? Or, is imitation the sincerest form of flattery?

Post your thoughts below!

What’s in a slogan?

I suppose that like a lot of people, for a long time I didn’t really think too much of company slogans. For sure, I bought them up like crazy for brands I thought were cool, but that was about as far as my thought process went.

My first real exposure to slogans (or tag lines, if you prefer) came in the mid 2000s when I was working with a music and dvd retailer called play. We had three retail locations and were very well known to the devoted music or home entertainment audiences in the two cities we were in. However, if you had no idea who we were… well, you had no idea who we were. Our logo was a rectangle with rounded corners, the word play in lowercase letters and a green triangle to the right, like the play button on most electronics. Our slogan (which had been developed before my time) was “See it. Hear it. Play it.” It sounded cool, but for a brand trying to gain a bigger footing, it didn’t work. Why not? Well – does that tell you in the slightest what the company was about, or what we sold? On more than one occasion we had customers enter our store asking if we were an arcade, an appliance dealer (I still don’t know how that made sense), or part of an unrelated company from Eastern Canada. Eventually it was decided that we should create something new, beginning my interest in slogans.

The slogan I created was “The music store as independent as you are.” – and my goals for it were this:

  1. Clearly define what we sold. Music store. Check.
  2. Separate ourselves from big box stores, identifying our independent nature, which as a music retailer allowed for greater flexibility in bringing in unknown or underground artists, and not just the big superstars.
  3. In identifying ourselves as independent, we also associated ourselves with our customers. Who wouldn’t want to be thought of as cool and independent?

Okay, so, a little cheeky, a little precious, perhaps.. but it worked. Our customers liked the new slogan, and people seeing our store bags or other materials for the first time away from our stores were able to identify who we were. This slogan also had the great benefit of being an excellent radio tag – I closed all of our radio commercials with it. We knew it was working when we were signing up new customers to our customer loyalty program and they would comment “So you guys are really independent?”

Since that time, I’ve been honoured to have worked on many logos and slogans for both new businesses and those going through a rebrand. Sometimes the owners haven’t even considered a slogan, sometimes they don’t even know where to start… which ironically enough, was where I was when I started Ambition.

Too close to the forest? Perhaps. I was taking a number of business courses to help get my grounding, and we were discussing elevator pitches, slogans and branding. I ground my teeth. I had ideas for everyone else in the room – classmates and instructors – but for my business? Oh no.

Eventually I created “Connecting businesses to their

target markets and reconnecting people to their passion”. Say THAT three times fast. Yes, it said what we do – from marketing to creative coaching.. but.. let’s be honest: Ugh.

The instructors said that it was fine (in their defence they couldn’t really linger on me for too long – there was the rest of the class waiting), but I wasn’t happy at all.

I held off putting that slogan on anything. I knew what the rules were; I knew what a slogan SHOULD do.. and I broke the rules. Entrepreneurs, dreamers, business people.. they all have something in common: Passion. Drive. Ambition. How do you find out what moves someone? Ask them.

What’s Your Ambition?

I tossed that old clunky slogan so fast it didn’t even have time to hit the bottom of the digital trash can. Forgot about my elevator pitch. THIS is it… and it works because people love to talk about what excites them, and I love to hear about it. I frequently get stopped when wearing my company shirt with this logo across the back by complete strangers who want to tell me what their ambition is – or to ask me what the shirt is about. It’s awesome. Whether someone’s passion is making the fanciest doodadwhatzit gadget on the planet, or they’re in business because they love business (read: money) – we can help.

What’s in a slogan? Whatever, as a business owner, you want to put into it. It can be an integral part of your brand and marketing materials, or it can be ignored as an afterthought. It’s your brand, your dream. Now, tell me… What’s Your Ambition?

AmericanWaffle is attempted to be shutdown by rouge third-party companies.

Over the weekend, the non-partisan alterative to Twitter, Parler, was wiped off the face of the Earth.

Here are just some of the list of companies that abandoned them:

- Apple
- Google
- Amazon / AWS
- Their Own lawyers
- Multiple Server Hosting Companies
- and more ...

Without "300-500" servers which they had via Amazon Web Services, their site is completely offline.

This is incredibly dangerous for the future of open internet as a whole.

In our case, we've already had ...

- Our Facebook restricted from advertising and reach
- Instagram shadowbanned
- TikTok shadowbanned

And just yesterday a certain company (rhymes with Slaviyo) we use to send emails to you is terminating our relationship completely.

Because some of their employees were "offended by the Biden Likes Minors shirt"

(This shirt has been removed since, as well as other political products for time being)

Luckily, they're giving us 30 days to move to another platform, but who knows if another platform will work with us after what has happened.

Gentlemen's Hours: Remembering Atlantis' STS-66 Mission, 25 Years On (Part 1)

Twenty-five years ago, Atlantis returned to flight with the ATLAS-3 mission. It was her final “standalone” mission before the shuttle-Mir and International Space Station (ISS) eras. Photo Credit: NASA

A quarter-century ago, today, the International Space Station (ISS) era began in earnest with the return-to-flight of Space Shuttle Atlantis, following a lengthy period of refurbishment. Since her STS-46 mission in July 1992, she had undergone many improvements to prepare her for voyages to Russia’s Mir space station and eventually to participate in building the ISS. Her return to operations on STS-66 in November 1994 marked the culmination of a remarkable few months, in which all four shuttles—Columbia, Discovery, Endeavour and Atlantis herself—spread their spacefaring wings. And when STS-66 launched on 3 November 1994, NASA accomplished its best-yet record in the post-Challenger era for launching three back-to-back shuttle missions in only 55 days.

STS-66 was Atlantis’ 13th trip into space and, at 11 days, it was also her longest mission to date. Photo Credit: NASA

In fact, the three-flight, launch-to-launch record of 55 days—which saw Discovery fly STS-64 on 9 September, Endeavour follow on STS-68 on 30 September, ahead of Atlantis’ own return on 3 November; a textbook example, if ever one were needed, of the muddle of shuttle mission designators which rarely ran in numerical sequence—would never again be surpassed. Only one occasion in the post-Challenger timeframe, in October-December 1990, did three shuttles launch within 57 days of each other; and even before Challenger’s calamitous loss, the all-time empirical record in October-November 1985 saw three missions fly in a 54-day period.

A seemingly minor sub-record, perhaps, but STS-66 topped a triumphant year for the shuttle program. At the dawn of 1994, NASA’s could bask in the glory of the previous December’s spectacular repair of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and went on to execute seven successful missions: two expeditions to radar-map Earth’s surface from low-Earth orbit, the longest shuttle flight to date, the first launch of a Russian cosmonaut on a U.S. spacecraft and the first untethered Extravehicular Activity (EVA) in almost a full decade. And during her 27 months on the ground since STS-46, Atlantis had been heavily upgraded to accept the components necessary to rendezvous and dock with Russia’s Mir. She was fitted with the first hardware elements for the Mir-compatible Orbiter Docking System (ODS), electrical provisions for the Extended Duration Orbiter (EDO) capability, better nose-wheel steering, improved plumbing and a drag chute to support landing and rollout operations.

STS-66 was originally slated to fly on 27 October 1994, but it was not to be. NASA needed additional time to refurbish three new Space Shuttle Main Engines (SSMEs) to replace those of Endeavour, whose STS-68 flight suffered a launch pad abort on 18 August; additionally, engineers needed to replace a scratched flight deck window and tend to Atlantis’ plumbing.

Principal payload for STS-66 was ATLAS-3, the third atmospheric laboratory for applications and science and the final flight in a series which was originally set to fly annually throughout the Sun’s 11-year cycle of activity. As NASA and Russia drew closer in the post-Soviet era and plans crystallized for a series of nine or even ten shuttle-Mir dockings in 1995-1998, several key payloads were axed, including several ATLAS missions. As late as January 1992, an ATLAS-4 flight was penciled into the shuttle manifest for late 1995, joined by a waves in space plasma deployable payload, but by the April 1994 manifest the mission was gone; to be replaced—at least for Atlantis—by a string of shuttle-Mir dockings. And although shuttle-Mir would prove a critical stepping-stone to the ISS, it has been lamented over the years that much potential science was lost by deleting or defunding so many promising research missions from consideration.

The STS-66 mission, as illustrated in the crew’s official patch, sought to explore the links between the Sun and Earth’s atmosphere. Image Credit: NASA

It was therefore apparent when Ellen Ochoa—veteran of the ATLAS-2 mission, who went on to become the first Hispanic director of NASA’s Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston, Texas—was named as STS-66 payload commander in August 1993 that ATLAS-3 would be the end of an era. In January 1994, she was joined by her five crewmates. In command of STS-66 was Don McMonagle, with Curt Brown as pilot and three “rookie” mission specialists: Joe Tanner, Scott Parazynski and Frenchman Jean-François Clervoy of the European Space Agency (ESA). In orbit, they would be split into two 12-hour shifts, with McMonagle leading the “red” team of Ochoa and Tanner and Brown leading the “blue” team of Parazynski and Clervoy.

The mission was set to launch at 11:56 a.m. EST on 3 November 1994, which offered “gentlemen’s hours” in terms of a 7 a.m. wake-up time for the red team. Alas, the blue team was less fortunate. They would be bedding down for the first sleep shift a few hours after launch and the pre-flight “sleep-shifting” regimen—according to McMonagle—meant that they were awakened late the previous evening, a full 14 hours before T-0. As things turned out, Brown, Parazynski and Clervoy would settled down for their first night’s sleep in space about three hours into STS-66, after a 17-hour “day”.

Launch was delayed slightly, as the Mission Management Team (MMT) discussed wind speeds at one of the Transoceanic Abort Landing (TAL) sites. Weather conditions at Zaragoza and Moron, both in Spain, proved initially acceptable, with Ben Guerir in Morocco classed as “marginal” for a time, in terms of out-of-limits crosswinds. Fortunately, the situations improved by T-5 minutes, at which point Brown was asked to activate the shuttle’s Auxiliary Power Units (APUs).

“CDR, hope you have a good flight,” the Launch Director cheerily radioed McMonagle, “and enjoy the new vehicle we’ve given you.”

“We thank you very much, and we’re sure we will,” came the reply from the shuttle’s flight deck. “We’ll see you in about 11 days.”

Formed in 1962, the Ohio Municipal Electric Association (OMEA) is the legislative liaison to 80 Ohio community-owned-and-operated municipal electric systems.

The Ohio Municipal Electric Association provides legislative liaison services for American Municipal Power, Inc. (AMP) and 80 Ohio public power communities, with the goal of protecting the independence and constitutional rights of Ohio municipal electric systems. OMEA services include lobbying, member activities, coalition building, and legislative and regulatory analysis. The OMEA also serves as the legislative liaison to AMP and represents the state and federal legislative interests of the organization.

Although closely aligned with AMP, the OMEA is a separate, nonprofit entity guided by a 16-member Board of Directors. The OMEA Board is composed of 12 elected officials from member communities and four municipal electric systems representatives who may be, but are not required to be, elected officials of the communities they serve.

OMEA staff perform five primary functions:

  • Monitor Legislation- OMEA staff review, on average, more than 500 bills each year for their potential to affect municipal electric systems. Bills with such potential are examined in detail and tracked as they progress through the legislative process. The OMEA also monitors and tracks federal legislation affecting public power systems and AMP.
  • Advocate- OMEA staff and community officials meet with legislators, key legislative aides and state and federal agency officials, relating the organization’s position on important issues and fostering an awareness of the organization, its projects and its member municipal electric systems.
  • Build coalitions- The OMEA participates in coalitions on legislative issues, and works to create awareness of public power issues with various interest groups and allies. It also works closely with the American Public Power Association on national public power issues and with the Ohio Municipal League on state issues of mutual interest.
  • Act as an information resource- The OMEA staff and counsel regularly provide information to members, the media and other audiences about legislative and regulatory issues, including energy and environmental policy, tax structures, tax-exempt financing, wholesale market policies and municipal rights.
  • Organize member activities- As part of its mission, the OMEA develops and organizes programs to keep members aware of, and involved in, the legislative process.

The Ten Biggest Pitfalls Of Package Design

If part of your job is creating packaging, you know that it is both exciting and challenging. It’s thrilling to see your work displayed in stores and in consumers’ homes, but it is equally nerve-racking to know that any error comes with significant consequences – like hundreds of thousands of incorrect packages, for example.

Here at Anchor Marketing, we’ve been creating successful packaging for more than 20 years, and while a lot of things have changed during that time, many of the challenges that come with package design have stayed the same. This list is our way of passing on the knowledge we’ve gained during our time (so far) in the packaging business.

Joaquim Vergès, best known for his work on the Falcon Pro Twitter client, joined Twitter in 2015 to help improve the company's Android app. He left Twitter in March to work for Twitch, and it seems like the company has taken that opportunity to change the app's design again. A new user interface is being tested in the app's alpha testing branch, and everything is round for some reason.

Compared to the current design, all user icons are now round, as well as most buttons across the whole application. There are a few new icons as well, such as the ones in the main navigation bar. The new icons don't look bad, but seriously, why is everything round?

The tipster who shared these screenshots said he was on Twitter for Android version 6.50.0-alpha.557. If you want to try this out for yourself, you can join the Twitter alpha program for Android, but you might not get the new UI right away. Let us know what you think in the comments below, but I'm not a fan of the round things.

Nanoha Reflection Anime Film Screens in Canada on March 2

posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Eleven Arts began screening film in U.S. theaters on February 9

Eleven Arts Anime Studio revealed on Monday the list of Cineplex theaters in Canada that will screen the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Reflection anime film on March 2 and March 4. People who attend screenings will receive one of nine character stickers on the first day and one of nine character badges on the second day. Eleven Arts' website has a full list of theaters screening the film in Canada and the United States.

Eleven Arts began screening the film in theaters in the United States on February 9.

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Reflection opened in Japan last July. The project is planned as two films. The second film, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Detonation, will open in 2018.

In the story, a pair of researchers stay behind on their dying planet of Eltoria with their two daughters, Amitie and Kyrie, in hopes of finding a way to revive the planet. But when the husband Grants falls ill it seems their dream of reviving the planet will die. Against her older sister's wishes, Kyrie sets off with her childhood friend Iris to seek help from a distant alternate world. They arrive in Japan on Earth to search for the key to their planet's regeneration. There, they meet Nanoha Takamachi, Fate T. Harlaown, and Hayate Yagami.

Masaki Tsuzuki, the franchise creator and scriptwriter, is credited with the original work, and also penned the script. Takayuki Hamana (The Prince of Tennis, Library War, Appleseed XIII) directed the film at Seven Arcs Pictures. Kana Hashidate (Dog Days) drew the character designs, and Shochiku is distributing the film. Nana Mizuki performed the film's theme song "Destiny's Prelude."

Sunday W(ork) I(n) P(rogress) Teaser

What is Sunday W(ork) I(n) P(rogress) Teaser? It's a new weekly blog I'm starting today. Each Sunday, I'll put up between six and ten sentences from the current manuscript I'm working on or wip. Right now, I'm working on book 2 of the Children of Atlantis series.

So here is the first teaser. It comes from chapter 1.

Raven wiped the moisture off of her cheeks. She looked at the statue. "Thanks for listening. Sorry if I got you wet." She patted the cold marble and sighed.

The snap of something or someone stepping on a broken twig echoed through the area. Raven whirled around. She scanned the area, but the mausoleums blocked most of her view.

"Great," she mumbled. "Just great. I walked right into the perfect ambush. What was I thinking?" She slapped her hand to her forehead. "Oh yeah, I wasn't."

10 Summer Projects to Try Out This Summer

Summer is in full swing, and if you’re lucky, you’ve got some extra time on your hands that you can spend doing something that you love. In addition to spending more time outdoors and enjoying some vacation time with your family, why not pick a fun project to work on during the warmer months? It’ll give you a chance to learn some new skills along the way, and at the end of the summer you’ll have something to show for a summer well-spent. Here are ten great “summer project” ideas to try out this summer.

Tackle that reading list.

Have you had a running list of books to read for months now, only to make little, if any, progress? Now is the time to tackle that list! Make tackling your reading list your summer “project” by getting yourself a library card or downloading a few books to your e-Reader. Take your book with you to places where you’ll have some time to relax—the beach, park, car, etc.

Create a printed photo album.

We’re so used to digital photography these days that printed photo albums are becoming more and more rare. Resolve to create a printed photo album that will document all of your summer adventures. This means taking your camera with you to big events and on big trips—even if it’s only the camera on your phone. (This article offers some great tips on taking great photos on your phone.) Then, at the end of the summer, download your photos onto your computer; do some editing to get things properly cropped and exposed; and upload them to a professional photo book printing website to have your photo album professionally printed and bound.

Go through a roll of film.

Alternatively, you can try going through a roll of film on a vintage film camera. You can easily thrift a vintage camera online through a site like Ebay. Learn how to install the film cartridge and use the manual controls, and have fun practicing your photo skills throughout the summer. This is a great way to hone your photography skills and become a more mindful photographer even when working with digital.

Transform old furniture.

Could your home use a new furniture piece or two? Why not upcycle something you find at a local thrift store or garage sale? Or, why not upcycle something that you already have and love? Transforming old furniture is perfect for summer because it so often requires spray painting outdoors in warm weather. There are a myriad of furniture transformation tutorials out there on Pinterest—choose one that speaks to you!

Restore an old bike.

If you already have a bike, maybe it could use a little restoring; or if you don’t already have one, maybe you can thrift one and restore it to good, working condition. Restoring a bike is simpler than you might think; it typically only involves removing rust from the frame and wheels and then restoring any parts that might be worn. Sandblasting and powder coating is a great option for extreme cases of rust on the frame and wheels (you can read more about how it applies to restoration here). If you restore your old bike successfully, you’ll have a great bike when you’re done for taking to the park with your family.

Update your house numbers.

House numbers are something that many homeowners don’t pay attention to when decorating the outside of their home, but they can make a major impact and are easy to DIY. Type “house numbers DIY” into Pinterest and see how many great tutorials you get!

Train for a race.

Who says that your summer project can’t involve fitness? Consider signing yourself up for a fall race and using the summer months to train up. (Just be careful to wear sunscreen and drink plenty of water as you run outdoors!)

Cook your way through a cookbook.

If you’re like most of us, you keep a shelf full of cookbooks somewhere in your kitchen, only for those cookbooks to see little, if any, use. Pick out a favorite cookbook that you want to experiment with and try making a few recipes from that cookbook each week. By the end of the summer, you’ll have several new go-to recipes for you and your family to enjoy.

Try your hand at tie-dye.

This is a fun activity to do with your kids, and it’s perfect for taking outdoors during the summer because it can get pretty messy. Take your kids to your local craft store and pick up a few plain white tee shirts and a tie-dye kit. There are a wide variety of tie-dye techniques that you can try for different results, so be sure that you pick out a few techniques that you want to try before starting. If the project is a hit the first time, keep it going throughout the summer by tie-dyeing things like hats and tote bags for fun summer gifts.

Master ice cream making.

The Message of Jesus

            Compiled by G. Nehls

 The Message

  • What Jesus Taught Us

  • What Jesus Said About Himself

  • The Challenge

In days past, when letters were sent, it could take many days, even weeks or months before it reached its destination. There was no e-mail or telephone available. Not even a telegraph. And still people found ways and means to communicate with each other.

Messages were not just sent by people via some kind of messenger to other people. It also happened that messages were sent from God via messengers to people. We believe that God has ‘spoken’ to communicate with mankind. Would one not expect the designer and creator of the world to reveal who He is and to send instructions on how to live in harmony with their Maker?

A man who claimed to have received messages from God was called a ‘prophet’. Translated correctly, the Hebrew and Arabic word Nabi actually means ‘messenger’.

Jews, Christians, and Muslims, agree to a considerable extent on who these messengers were. They are, among others, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Elijah, Job and David. The Jews would deny the title ‘prophet’ to Jesus, while Muslims call Jesus ‘Nabi Isa’. Interesting is the fact that while he is called ‘messenger’, the actual message he brought is not recorded in the Qur’an. It is found in the Gospel.

Strangely, Muslim teachers today allege that Jesus’ message was given to the Jews only, yet the Qur'an mentions Jesus as being "a sign for all peoples [beings]" (Surat 21:91).

The Qur'an teaches: "We believe in Allah, and the revelation given to us, and to Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob ... to Moses and Jesus and that given to all prophets from their Lord. We make no differences between one and another of them" (Surat 2:136).

To justify such contradiction to the Qur’an, Muslim teachers declare that the Bible, which originally recorded the messages of “Abraham ... Moses and Jesus”, is no more the Word of God, but has been changed and corrupted.

That again is not what the Qur’an teaches, when it says: "People of the Book! ... stand fast by the Law, the Gospel and all the revelation that has come to you from your Lord" (Surat 5:68). These words were written in the seventh century. Many old Bible manuscripts that are still in existence today are considerably older than that, yet they do not differ from today’s Bibles. One would expect Muslim teachers to state when the Bible was supposedly changed, by whom, and why; but they do not.

The Qur’an actually challenges Muslims: "If you were in doubt as to what we have revealed unto thee, then ask those who have been reading the Book from before thee" (Surat 10:94). Which Book? The Book given before the Qur'an. No man can honestly claim on the basis of the Qur'an that the Bible has been corrupted. It actually orders: "Ask those who possess the message" (Surat 21:7). Those were the Jews and Christians.

As we already noticed, the Qur’an explicitly states that the Gospel is the Word of God. And it also states categorically that "no man can change the Words of Allah" (Surat 10:64 and 6:34).

Since many people have not read the Gospel for themselves, we shall present a selection of the actual words that Jesus spoke while on earth. They are ordered topically to make it easier to read. Everything not printed in black is the actual message of Jesus.

Zac Goldsmith vows to quit as MP if Heathrow third runway gets green light

Zac Goldsmith has reiterated that he will quit his role as a Tory MP if the Government gives the green light to a third runway at Heathrow.

There is mounting speculation the Government is set to back a third runway in the coming weeks, ending years of rowing about airport expansion.

Mr Goldsmith, the MP for Richmond, has been one of the leading figures against Heathrow expansion.

The former London mayoral candidate confirmed that he would stand down if Heathrow expansion was approved - but said the project faced "huge question marks" around its delivery.

Speaking on the Today programme on BBC Radio 4, Mr Goldsmith said: "My position is the same as it was nine years ago.

"I promised my constituents before I was ever elected in 2010 that I would trigger a by-election were the Government to give a green light to Heathrow expansion. My position has never changed.

"I'm committed to my constituents, I'm committed to fighting this campaign and I'm committed to winning this campaign - and I have every confident that will happen."

Mr Goldsmith added: "There are huge question marks about whether a third runway could even be delivered, irrespective of the Government's decision in the next week, two weeks, three weeks or so.

"The legal risks are immense. You've got the councils under the flight path lining up with big cheque books waiting to challenge these proposals.

"There are huge planning risks, there are financial risks.

"Heathrow is massively over leveraged already, there is no prospect of their being able to raise the finance necessary to deliver this project without turning to the taxpayer.

"Whatever the Government decides, this project is not going to happen. In five years' time, 10 years' time, we'll still be arguing about it."

Dropshipping 101 – Did The Conway Sell Out On Amazon

Did The Conway Sell Out On Amazon

When it comes to wholesale dropshipping on Amazon – all of it boils down to this: Do you spend your valuable time selling on Amazon without risking your future selling on Amazon? Or do you invest it right into an eCommerce endeavor that will last and also continuously bring you money time after time? If you pick to sell on Amazon with a company version that places your time in the line, you are risking that version not just today but also for the remainder of your life. This is the bottom line – when you pick to sell on Amazon you are investing in your future. You do not wish to be a one-hit wonder. Did The Conway Sell Out On Amazon

Did The Conway Sell Out On AmazonSeveral dealers and dropshippers on Amazon choose to opt for wholesale dropshipping due to the fact that they do not have to deal with the headaches of supply, delivery as well as re-shipping. They basically up an advertisement for a product, sell it on Amazon as well as keep earning money from consumers. This is very enticing to anyone who wants an easy method of starting an on the internet service. It is also tempting to individuals who have tried offering items on ebay.com or other auction sites and also to those that want to attempt to offer well-known products like clothing, electronics, fashion jewelry and so forth.Did The Conway Sell Out On Amazon

Did The Conway Sell Out On Amazon

There are some benefits and also negative aspects of selecting wholesale dropshipping and also one of these downsides is the expense. This is definitely among the disadvantages. It is true that when you go with an Amazon seller account, you will pay reduced charges. When you are working with a solitary device pricing system, the price per system goes down drastically. However is this adequate to make your ecommerce company work and also make it rewarding?

If you are currently selling on eBay, you recognize that the price per product is constantly less expensive than when you provide it on eBay and also you do not need to save any kind of inventory. This means you can conserve a great deal of money in storage charges, transport fees, and the expense of utilizing employees and rent and so on. On the other hand, when you choose to sell on Amazon as a wholesaler and you do not need to deliver any type of items, you will only incur a delivery charge for that certain sale. Although this could not look like a lot, Amazon does not bill a ton of money for their single units.

This leads us to another disadvantage of dropshipping. When you dropship, you will certainly never ever have a real item in your belongings. This implies you will certainly be accountable for managing the supply. The dropshipper will deal with it. You are accountable for providing the item, packaging as well as keeping it. It will depend on you just how you load as well as ship the items marketed.

In this case, it is challenging to see how Amazon as well as ebay.com can be taken into consideration conspire. Dropshipping has one clear disadvantage: you have no tangible product to market. Selling on Amazon is quite different because you are offering an actual product. When you become an affiliate, you will certainly access to hundreds of products that are noted and all set to be marketed.

With dropshipping, you will certainly need to manage your stock. Amazon.com does all the job. You will still require to ensure that your clients obtain the goods that they purchased. You can likewise utilize Amazon’s program for dropshipping which will certainly guarantee favorable reviews for your product. This will enhance your reputation on ebay.com and also boost your sales, which will eventually equate to even more cash for your company.

Dropshipping is high-risk. Amazon is an ecommerce platform and like numerous companies, there are threats associated with operating this platform. It is simple to obtain your account banned from selling on Amazon if the business identifies that you are offering fake merchandise. If you operate a dropshipping service utilizing Amazon as your system, it is important that you recognize the standards as well as follow them closely. Make sure to ask your dropshipper concerning these risks and do not think twice to call them need to you come to a conclusion that you can not proceed with the sale.
