God Versus Raisins

Which one wins in a contest in your mind?

Hosea 3.1

Don Ruhl • Savage Street, Grants Pass, Oregon • December 9, In the year of our Lord, 2012

Scripture Reader and Reading: Kadin Lopez – Revelation 11.16–19

Song Leader and Song Suggestions: Larry Amberg – Songs that magnify God, such as “Our God, He Is Alive” and others

  1. What would you do if this happened to you?

    1 After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here…” (Rev 4.1).

    1. You would turn down the request, right?
    2. Y0u would want to do something else or go somewhere else, right?
      1. Oh, you would accept the invitation?
      2. Are you sure?
  2. If God fought for your heart with…you name it, who would win?
    1. In the Book of Hosea,
    2. Israel made a choice, but
      1. not for God, and
      2. you will not believe what they chose instead.

  1. Hosea 2.5 – God Versus Bread

    5 “For their mother has played the harlot;
    She who conceived them has behaved shamefully.
    For she said, ‘I will go after my lovers,
    Who give me my bread and my water,
    My wool and my linen,
    My oil and my drink.’”
    (Hos 2.5)
  2. Hosea 2.12 – God Versus Wages

    12 “And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees,
    Of which she has said,
    ‘These are my wages that my lovers have given me.’
    So I will make them a forest,
    And the beasts of the field shall eat them.”
    (Hos 2.12)
  3. Hosea 3.1 – God Versus Raisins

    1 Then the Lord said to me, “Go again, love a woman who is loved by a lover and is committing adultery, just like the love of the Lord for the children of Israel, who look to other gods and love the raisin cakes of the pagans” (Hos 3.1).
  4. Hosea 4.13 – God Versus Shade

    13 “They offer sacrifices on the mountaintops,
    And burn incense on the hills,
    Under oaks, poplars, and terebinths,
    Because their shade is good.
    Therefore your daughters commit harlotry,
    And your brides commit adultery.”
    (Hos 4.13)
  5. Hosea 8.11 – God Versus Sin

    11 “Because Ephraim has made many altars for sin,
    They have become for him altars for sinning.”
    (Hos 8.11)
  6. Hosea 9.1 – God Versus Hire

    1 “Do not rejoice, O Israel, with joy like other peoples,
    For you have played the harlot against your God.
    You have made love for hire on every threshing floor.”
    (Hos 9.1)
  7. Hosea 9.10 – God Versus an Abomination

    10 “I found Israel
    Like grapes in the wilderness;
    I saw your fathers
    As the firstfruits on the fig tree in its first season.
    But they went to Baal Peor,
    And separated themselves to that shame;
    They became an abomination like the thing they loved.”
    (Hos 9.10)
  8. Hosea 12.8–10 – God Versus Wealth

    8 And Ephraim said,
    “Surely I have become rich,
    I have found wealth for myself;
    In all my labors
    They shall find in me no iniquity that is sin.”
    9 “But I am the Lord your God,
    Ever since the land of Egypt;
    I will again make you dwell in tents,
    As in the days of the appointed feast.
    10 I have also spoken by the prophets,
    And have multiplied visions;
    I have given symbols through the witness of the prophets.”
    (Hos 12.8–10)
  9. Hosea 13.1 – God Versus Self

    1 When Ephraim spoke, trembling,
    He exalted himself in Israel;
    But when he offended through Baal worship, he died.
    (Hos 13.1)
  10. Hosea 13.6 – God Versus Being Filled

    6 “When they had pasture, they were filled;
    They were filled and their heart was exalted;
    Therefore they forgot Me.”
    (Hos 13.6)

  1. Hosea 2.8 – The Problem

    8 “For she did not know
    That I gave her grain, new wine, and oil,
    And multiplied her silver and gold—
    Which they prepared for Baal.”
    (Hos 2.8)

    1. God gave them bread.
    2. God gave them their wages.
    3. God gave them grapes, hence raisins.
    4. God gave them sun and shade.
    5. God gave them prosperity.
    6. God gave them holy rules.
    7. God gave them wealth.
  2. He had warned them. Let Americans hear this passage!

    2 “And you shall remember that the Lord your God…

    10 “When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land which He has given you. 11 Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God…

    12 “lest—when you have eaten and are full, and have built beautiful houses and dwell in them… 14 when your heart is lifted up, and you forget the Lord your God…

    17 “then you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth.’ 18 And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth…” (Deu 8.1–20).

    1. Moses wrote that for us.
    2. The Holy Spirit preserved it for us.
    3. James told us something similar,

      17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights… (Jam 1.17).

  3. What the Bible says of God and Israel,
    1. the Bible also says of God and the world.
    2. In Acts 14, Paul and Barnabas healed a man crippled from birth, and
      1. he walked for the first time in his life.
      2. That amazed the people,

        11 Now when the people saw what Paul had done, they raised their voices, saying in the Lycaonian language, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!” (Acts 14.11).

        1. Therefore, the people set out to do what you do for gods,
        2. you sacrifice to them,

          13 Then the priest of Zeus, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, intending to sacrifice with the multitudes (Acts 14.13).

    3. However, watch what Paul and Barnabas did, and
      1. listen to what they said to the people,

        14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard this, they tore their clothes and ran in among the multitude, crying out 15 and saying, “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men with the same nature as you, and preach to you that you should turn from these useless things to the living God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all things that are in them, 16 who in bygone generations allowed all nations to walk in their own ways. 17 Nevertheless He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good, gave us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.” 18 And with these sayings they could scarcely restrain the multitudes from sacrificing to them” (Acts 14.14–18).

      2. A problem common to all people
        1. at any time in history,
        2. attributing the source of blessings
          1. to something or someone
          2. other than the God revealed in the Bible.
  4. Have you attributed the good in your life to God or something else?
    1. Satan does not want you to give the glory to God, but
    2. Satan either wants the glory for himself, or
      1. he will settle for you giving the glory to
      2. anything or anyone besides God.
  5. Satan offered Jesus all the kingdoms of the world,
    1. if He would fall down and worship Satan, but
    2. Jesus rebuked Satan.
      1. Satan did not even have to offer Israel all the kingdoms of the world,
      2. just raisins, or shade, or whatever.
  6. Who wins in your heart, God or Raisins?
    1. Is there a raisin you have already chosen over God?
    2. Please think about
      1. why you have not become a Christian, or
      2. why you have not lived a full-fledged, born-again, totally-committed, God-praising, sin-denying Christian life.
  7. Someday life will end, and
    1. eternity will begin.
    2. Are you willing to give up eternity with God
      1. for a mere lifetime of some kind of raisin?
      2. If you enjoy the whole world and
        1. lose your own soul,
        2. where will your enjoyment be then?
  8. What would you do if this happened to you?

    1 After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here…” (Rev 4.1).

    1. I am telling you, that is you.
    2. That is the message of the Bible!
      1. God calls out to everyone,
      2. inviting all of us to join Him in heaven.
        1. What shall you do?
        2. Shall you choose Him or something else?
    3. Do you believe that Jesus is the Son of God?
      1. Are you willing to state that belief?
      2. Are you willing to change your life?
      3. Are you ready to be baptized?

I just noticed today that in every folder where I have PDFs, there are also a random number of files that begin with the word "magick-" which is followed by a string of around 17 numbers, letters and symbols.

I've opened these files with Sublime Text. They all seem to have an XML structure, and all start with "%PDF-" followed by a version number, such as "%PDF-1.5"

What are these files, and are they necessary?

  • These are PDF files. – joojaa Oct 1 '18 at 13:11
  • OK, by adding the .pdf file extension I can see that they are indeed PDFs. But, why are they being created? I'm going to correct my initial statement that they appear in "every folder where I have PDFs." This is not the case - a disk-wide search shows that they're sprinkled across dozens and dozens of directories that have nothing to do with Acrobat, Adobe or PDFs whatsoever. – Keith S. Oct 1 '18 at 13:26
  • Temp files of some kind – joojaa Oct 1 '18 at 13:27
  • Alright, well I guess I shouldn't worry about them. I'll just move them for now and see if anything happens... – Keith S. Oct 1 '18 at 13:29
  • Acrobat does not do that. You may have another utility (previewer? converter?) that does so. – usr2564301 Oct 2 '18 at 20:44

Martín-Baró Initiative for Wellbeing and Human Rights

Martín-Baró Initiative provides a way to integrate human rights with community health and wellbeing, particularly among those severely harmed by political repression, structural violence and social injustice. Working closely with a group of volunteers, including psychologists, academics and activists, the Martín-Baró Initiative provides grants to community-led efforts that promote education, psychosocial wellbeing and pursuit of social reparations and a more just and equitable world.

Through grantmaking and education, the Martín-Baró Initiative complements our political grantmaking by engaging in what our partners call “buen vivir,” or living well. To support the Martín-Baró Initiative, you can donate here, or send checks to Grassroots International, with Martín-Baró Initiative (or MBI) in the memo line and send to: Grassroots International, 179 Boylston Street, Boston, MA 02130.

Background: Ignacio Martín-Baró, a social psychologist, was one of the six Jesuits murdered in 1989 at the Central American University in San Salvador. Following his assassination, his friends and colleagues, many of whom were also psychologists and academics in related areas, launched the Martín-Baró Fund. Over more than three decades, individuals from a variety of other fields have brought their experience, skills, and interests to enhance the work.

In the video below, Carlos Martín-Baró speaks about the legacy of his brother’s activism, the Martín-Baró Initiative, and the important partnership between Grassroots International and the memorial fund.

Blog Moving day tips and tricks Preparations for a moving day Questions & answers about moving

Moving into a mansion

There is no denying that most of us covet large luxurious homes.

Moving into a mansion

  • The more extravagant the home, the higher the demand. If you can afford the hefty price tag. Modern day mansions are being built bigger and greater than ever before. Elaborate floor plans and high tech upgrades drive up the cost significantly.
  • Making the choice of buying a mansion anything but the cost effective option.

If You’re Seriously Considering The Purchase

  • But if you can comfortably afford it, why not lavish in the life of luxury, like many already do.
  • If you’re seriously considering the purchase or just wondering what it takes to make the investment and sustain it? Then this article is for you.
  • We will touch on the subject of moving into a mansion. The requirements. Expectations. Possible downsides.
  • Undeniable pros of moving and living in a mansion.

Bigger Home, Bigger Expenses

  • It is a no brain-er, mansions are expensive not only to buy, but to upkeep as well. When you plan to make the move from a more modest home to a mansion, you need to anticipate the bigger expenses that will incontrovertibly follow.

Monthly Mortgage Payments

  • Everything from your monthly mortgage payments to the cost of your utilities are expected to increase significantly.
  • Don’t forget your beautiful home now comes with an elaborate landscape that requires a small fortune just to upkeep.
  • Depending on the size of your lawn, the trees and bushes it hosts, you may be looking at upwards of several thousand dollars in annual expenses.
  • If you outsource this service, as most do, expect those costs to double.

Maintenance work and repairs

  • Will also come in proportion to the size of the property, resulting in much larger work orders and expenses.
  • Just like any other home, as you begin to live in your mansion, with time you will need to make repairs, and they may come in a form of a big surprise.

You Should Also Expect To Invest

  • In addition to maintenance and upkeep, you should also expect to invest in a sophisticated home burglary prevention system. It should come as no surprise that mansions and large homes are targets for burglars looking to profit significantly.
  • Usually, mansions are of well to do owners, which attracts all kinds of shady characters.

Protecting Yourself And Your Property

  • is without a question a non-debatable expense you will have to make. Do not get yourself into a mansion, if you can’t properly sustain its safe environment.

Time And Effort

  • Everything increases with the purchase of a mansion, and we are not only talking about monetary obligations. As your expenses increase, so will the time and effort required to keep your mansion running efficiently.

More Responsibilities Will Require More Of Your Time

  • You can bet that your responsibilities will increase significantly as you transition to a much larger home. Oftentimes, the immense workload of running a mansion can equal up to a full time job.
  • If you’re already employed with a full time job or just simply don’t have the physical stamina required for maintaining a large property, you will certainly have to hire help.

On-Site Staff

  • Taking care of a mansion can be overwhelming. With countless matters to attend to on a daily basis, hiring professional help becomes a necessary luxury for most large home owners. It is sort of a package deal.
  • Staffing a housekeeper or two, landscaper, pool boy, and perhaps a personal chef rarely comes at a bargain.
  • In fact, for many luxury homeowners, on-site staff makes up for some of their largest monthly expenses.
  • In some cases, mega large homes require a full live in staff for optimal sustainment.

  • While mansions are beautiful and spacious, they require a lot of furniture to fill all of that space. If you’re moving from a much smaller home, you won’t have nearly enough pieces, and will certainly have to expand your collection.
  • Quality furniture and unique art work bare no limit as to how much you can spend on them. You will certainly want to make your home look as appealing on the inside as it is on the outside.
  • Therefore budgeting a furnishing expense is more of a personal preference than a general rule of thumb.

Château Nénin

Château Nénin er en af Pomerol's historiske vingårde.

Der produceres vin på 32 ha, hvilket giver et årligt udbytte på ca. 144.000 flasker. 1. vinen hedder Château Nénin og 2. vinen Fugue de Nénin (første årgang var 1997).

On the eve of the 1997 harvest, Jean-Hubert Delon purchased Château Nénin, located North of the village of Catusseau, which had belonged to his cousins, the Despujol family, since 1847. A major restructuring was immediately undertaken. The pruning and trellising methods were reviewed, the land was drained, the vines were replanted or uprooted, and the equipment modernized. The ageing and storage cellars were extended and completely re-fitted, and air conditioning was added. A new vat room, furnished with state-of-the-art equipment, was built thereby completing the total transformation of the property. Château Nénin's vineyards grow on a single block of land with the exception of one plot. In Pomerol, where it is rare for an estate to exceed 10 hectares, Château Nénin's vineyard is considered very large, with 32 hectares of vines in production. As a consequence, its terroir includes the many, diverse soils that characterize Pomerol. It is mainly made up of Oligocene deposits covered by Dordogne alluvial gravelly formations; siliceous clay and gravel, quartz, granite, iron-deposits and basalt pebbles. Château Nénin's vineyards grow on the great clay-gravel terroirs of the Pomerol Plateau.

Fugue de Nénin, the second wine of Château Nénin, was created and first sold in 1997. Fugue comes from vines found in the eastern part of the Château's vineyards, as well as from the young vines planted on the great plateau terroirs. This second wine is a typical example of the charm of Pomerol. Fugue is a reference to music; it means a repetition of the main theme. This name makes sense when you taste the wine - Fugue complements the tonalities of its older sibling extremely well, while providing its own attractive and entertaining rendition.

A – Z Aged Care Guide

Currently looking for the best aged or dementia care option for your loved one?
Let our A to Z aged care guide provide you with an overview on some of the most important things to consider during your search.

A is for Accessibility
It’s important for aged care homes like us to be accessible for residents with a wide range of needs, and to accommodate those needs as they change with time.

B is for Best quality of care
We always recommend you look for an aged care centre that provides the best quality of care and support – along with trained staff that genuinely care about residents’ wellbeing.

C is for Compassionate Staff
Always look for aged care facilities that have compassionate staff with the residents’ best interest in mind.

D is for Dementia care expertise
If your loved one has dementia, we know that specialist expertise and experience in dementia care is invaluable. This will ensure your loved one gets care specific to their unique needs.

E is for Easy transition
At Group Homes, we try to make the transition from living at home to living in a care facility as smooth and comfortable as possible.

F is for Familiar surroundings
Where possible, we recommend choosing an aged care home located in your loved one’s neighborhood is preferable, since familiar surroundings can help them feel at home.

G is for Group home environment
Choose a group home with an environment that offers opportunities for genuine friendships to grow, and supports long-term independence.

H is for Homely feel
Every one of our homes is designed to be warm and inviting – so that it feels like a normal home. This will help support your loved one’s happiness and wellbeing.

I is for Innovative layout and design
Well-thought-out design and layout can significantly enhance feelings of wellbeing while supporting independent living.

J is for Joyful residents
This is one of the most important factors when it comes to choosing an aged care home. Take a tour with us and you’ll notice that all of our residents are joyful, content, active, and happy.

K is for Knowledgeable and supportive staff
Take some time to chat through any questions and concerns you have with the staff to get a feel for how approachable, knowledgeable and supportive they are.

L is for Lasting relationships and genuine connections
Always go for aged care centres that support the formation of genuine friendships, like Group Homes Australia. Human connections contribute to greater wellbeing and lifestyle – meaning that happiness can contribute to health and wellness.

M is for Modelled on international success
Some aged care home models are outdated, and do not meet the needs and expectations of the new generation of older Australians. Both our Australian and international model are hugely successful.

N is for New concept
New concepts in aged and dementia care are better meeting the care requirements of retirees and elderly Australians. Consider aged care with a difference, that’s personalised to your loved one’s unique needs.

O is for Ongoing assessment
Your loved one’s care needs will change over time, so it’s important to choose an aged care provider that focuses on ongoing assessment, to provide the best care for the evolving needs of residents.

P is for Philosophy with a difference
While some aged care facilities are driven by a philosophy of profit, Group Homes Australia offer a genuine focus on resident wellbeing, independence and quality of life.

Q is for Quality of lifestyle
None of us lose our desire to enjoy our lives as we get older, so it’s important to choose an aged care centre where quality of life is a priority.

R is for Resident to Carer ratio
Group and aged care homes with low resident-to-carer ratios tend to provide the highest quality of care. We only take small groups of residents in each home 6- 8. This means we have a high carer-to-resident ratio – typically of 1:3.

S is for Supporting independence
One of the things many people fear most about aging is losing their independence. We recommend choosing an aged care home where maintaining independence is supported, and where each resident’s abilities are the focus, rather than their disabilities.

T is for Technological support
An increasing number of quality aged care providers are utilising technological advancements. We believe these advancements and innovations will help support us when it comes to providing the highest quality of care.

U is for Understanding and empathy
We believe that aged and dementia care are as much about providing empathy as it is about providing a safe environment and medical support. This is because the best environment and medical support will only come from understanding our residents.

V is for Volumes of space
Forget cramped living areas. We have large areas for entertaining and visiting with families. This can contribute to residents’ welfare and comfort.

W is for Welcoming environment
Leaving home can be frightening for someone with dementia. We provide a welcoming environment that feels like home to help transition into care.

X is for Xciting and stimulating activities
We recommend you look for an aged care home where interesting activities are employed to stimulate the mind and contribute to quality of life.

Y is for Yards and gardens
Aged care and group homes like us incorporate safe and enjoyable outdoor spaces and gardens positively impact resident lifestyle and happiness.

Z is for Zeal for life
Consider which aged and dementia care homes you visit conveyed enthusiasm for living life to the fullest.

For more information about the benefits of group home aged care, contact Group Homes Australia today.

Random Annoyances: Buses & Bus Lanes

Tuesday 20 December 2011 @ 11:35 am

If you’ve ever been stuck in a city traffic jam, chances are the cause of it will most likely be a bus. These lumbering, dull witted, cramped vehicles running on the devil’s brew are responsible for most jams I’ve seen in central London.

Inevitably, you tend to find several of them lined up like some refugee column at a soup kitchen where they stretch for hundreds of yards clogging up the roads and forcing motorists to either wait behind or edge past. The worst culprits go even further and block busy junctions and exit routes safe in the knowledge that they’ll never be fined.

And let’s not forget the manner in which buses push into queues of traffic seemingly thinking they own the roads. Not that there’s much of the roads to own these days since councils starting wasting huge amounts of taxpayers money on useless bus lanes.

Just what useful purpose do these useless bus lanes serve? They don’t speed up bus journeys because buses have to stop every few hundred yards meaning anything behind has to wait for it to move off. Meanwhile, other vehicles are slowed to a crawl being forced to share a single lane whilst traffic lights are prioritised in favour of buses penalising other motorists with a 5 second window to inch forward a few yards.

Why should buses be given priority to arrive on time at the expense of everyone else? Seriously, who can honestly say they have ever seen a bus adhere to a published timetable? This madness and obsession with buses must stop and successive mayors seem to be obsessed with the damn things.

Note to Boris and Ken, quit banging on about investment in buses and use the money to improve the Tube.

For a complete list of the features of the "enhanced" version of Grand Theft Auto V, please see here.
"Tricking out a near-perfect muscle car like the Sabre is a fine art. A mainstream mod shop won't understand that its deafening wheelspin isn't inefficient - it's the foreplay a car like this requires. Its brakes aren't dangerously unresponsive, they're smooth and gradual. The lack of protection isn't careless, it's thrilling. Luckily for you, here at Benny's we can serve a whole lot of style without adding one tiny bit of substance. It's what a car this stupid deserves."
Benny's Original Motor Works description.

The Declasse Sabre Turbo Custom is a two-door lowrider-style muscle car featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Lowriders: Custom Classics update, released on April 19th, 2016, during the Sabre Week event.

Grand Theft Auto Online

"Tricking out a near perfect muscle car like the Sabre is a fine art."
―Promotional image description.
The Sabre Turbo Custom appears as a lowrider-styled muscle car based on the Sabre Turbo. The vehicle's most notable changes appear in its rim design and ride-height. Upon first upgrading, wire-wheels with triple-spoke center caps will replace the standard wheels, and the tyres also become much lower in profile, enhanced by white-walls. Its underside is now fitted with a paintable frame and has a visible driveshaft, a different exhaust setup (dual pipes instead of a single Y-splitted pipe) and visible hydraulic bars connected to the suspension.

The front fog lights built into the grille have been removed, leaving only the badges and mesh grille. The color-schemed pattern found on the Sabre Turbo is also removed, leaving the Sabre Turbo Custom a one-tone color, and consequently, the side stripes with the text reading "SABRE TURBO" have also been removed.

Most of the modifications from the standard model remain available for the custom version, but the nitrous oxide canister will no longer be present if a Roll Cage is added, nor will the passenger seat be removed if a Stunt Cage is installed. The Wheelie Bar option is also no longer available.

Current Design Gallery

Grand Theft Auto Online

The performance of the vehicle appears to be almost identical to that of the stock counterpart. However, it appears to be slighty heavier and, due to its lower ride height, the vehicle will suffer from crashing at low-level obstacles. By using the lowrider mechanism, the car will likely sort sidewalks and small obstacles easily, at the expense of increasing chances of flipping it at certain occurrences of jumping on a ramp and taking corners.

  • Can be converted from a standard Sabre Turbo at Benny's Original Motor Works for $490,000.
  • This vehicle may be selected randomly as a standard-class target source vehicle from Securoserv during an import mission with one of three variations: B0UNC3, 0R1G1N4L and GUNZ0UT.

Grand Theft Auto Online

  • If anything other than the "Stock Grille" is added under the Grille category, the frames of the fog lights from the standard Sabre Turbo will be visible. This may be an oversight, since these options were carried over from the standard model and left unchanged.

3D Printing Guide: Printing Policy

How to utilize the Lee Library's 3D printer. Includes direction on obtaining or designing files for print and the procedures for preparing and sending for print.

HBLL 3D Printing Policy

The Harold B. Lee Library provides 3D printing technology as part of its mission to provide resources and services that support and advance the education and scholarship of BYU students and faculty. In order to best serve the BYU community, the Library adheres to the following regulations and policies.

Who Can Print 3D Objects at the HBLL?

People allowed to use the 3D Printer:

  • Currently enrolled BYU students
  • BYU faculty
  • BYU Staff
  • Non-BYU Library patrons (could subject to quantity limitations depending on our current queue)

In general, 3D objects are printed on a first-come, first-served basis. However, priority will be given to students printing academic objects that influence their grade in a current course. Because of limited staff and hardware resources, the HBLL does not guarantee specific delivery times. It is recommended to budget at least 48 hours from time of submission to delivery. We can almost never guarantee same-day delivery.

What Can’t Be Printed at the HBLL?

The HBLL will not print models that may result in legal action against the University, its employees, and/or its students. To ensure the safety of the BYU community and compliance with the BYU Firearms & Weapons Policy, no object that may function as a weapon, or part of a weapon, will be printed. Facsimiles of weapons will not be printed.

The HBLL will not print models that infringe on intellectual property rights including items/objects that are:

  • Copyrighted
  • Patented
  • Trademarked
  • Registered Designs
  • Any other Proprietary Object

Additionally, no object should in any way be:

  • Pornographic
  • Illegal
  • Obscene or Offensive
  • Pose a Risk to or Endanger Others

Accordingly, library staff may ask you to provide proof that the work to be printed is:

  • Your creation
  • Public domain
  • Part of your research or coursework at BYU
  • Does not conflict with any BYU policy or the restrictions stated above

In some cases it may be necessary to provide either written confirmation from an instructor that an object is for a class/project, a written approval by University Police, or both.

We also do not mass produce objects.

If you are unsure if your object meets our guidelines, feel free to come in to the Science and Engineering Help Desk and ask for clarification in person.

Cost of 3D Printing

The HBLL charges for 3D-printing using a cost-recovery model based on the amount of material used. The final product will be weighed and the patron charged: $0.20 per gram of material used in the print, including support materials.

Failure to pick up a printed object within two weeks of printing will result in the cost being charged to your account as a library fine. Estimates of cost are available prior to placing an order based on the digital 3D model to be printed.

Limitation Include:

  • File formats .stl, .obj, .thing.  Most CAD and other 3D modeling software will export to these file formats. HBLL computers in the Science area (immediately in front of the Science Helpdesk) and instruction rooms 2233 and 2234 have Autodesk, Meshlabs, & Blender software packages available for 3D modeling.
  • Please Avoid using SketchUp as we cannot guarantee that the projects will print correctly
  • Maximum print size is 11.2 L x 6.1 W x 6 H inches (28.5 x 15.5 x 15.25 cm) or 12.75 inches (32.4 cm) diagonal
  • Currently only PLA (polylactic acid) plastic is available for printing
  • This service is designed for rapid prototyping, not production. No jobs printing large numbers of identical objects will be accepted
  • All 3D models will be printed by HBLL staff
  • Failed prints due to errors within the 3D model will still be charged for materials used
  • Failed prints due to HBLL staff error or hardware failure of the 3D printer will not be charged

Iris Galfas Age 13 from Lilburn, GA Wins The Odor-Eaters® Rotten Sneaker Contest®
Stinky winner - Iris Galfas
Age 13 from Lilburn, GA Wins The Odor-Eaters® Rotten Sneaker Contest®

Competitors ranging in age from 5 -15 years, went toe-to-toe in Georgia’s Odor-Eaters Rotten Sneaker Contest®, held on Saturday  September 23, 2013 at the North Georgia State Fair Rotten Sneaker Contest. The sneaker with the most offensive odors, worn-out soles, frayed laces and torn toes belonged to 13 year old Iris Galfas.  Iris won $200, the golden sneaker trophy, and Odor-Eaters products to help her kick out stinky odor and wetness.

Iris will now be eligible to compete in the 39th annual National Odor-Eaters Rotten Sneaker Contest, to be held on March 25, 2014 in New York.   Iris is looking forward to competing in the national contest because she is eligible to win $2,500, tickets to see a Broadway show, a year’s supply of Odor-Eaters products, and finally having her winning sneakers displayed in the Odor-Eaters Hall of Fumes.

History of the National Rotten Sneaker Contest
The contest began 39 years ago as a promotion created by a Montpelier Vermont sporting goods owner who wanted to advertise a new line of athletic shoes.  At the Montpelier Department of Recreation, the owner discovered a perfect pair of superbly rotten sneakers that would look great in the store ad.  The recreation director seized the moment and created a new contest…the search for the worst rotten sneakers!  The makers of Odor-Eaters products caught a “whiff” of this grand event, and became the official sponsor in 1988.  Odor-Eaters manufacturer a full line of products including insoles, sprays and powders to help protect feet from excessive foot odor and wetness.  Visit (click on Rotten Sneaker Contest tab) for more information about the contest.

Russian disinformation review: circling the Earth

0 286

As the North American Aerospace Defense Command prepares for its traditional tracking of Santa’s journey around the globe on December 24, it’s also a suitable time to see how well the pro-Kremlin media covers the planet.

Based on our research, we were able to come up with close to 30 countries where Sputnik has created a web page. Those countries range from Vietnam to Armenia and include languages like ArabicDari, and Persian.

While some Sputniks have up to three different languages per country, the total number of different URLs is 49. But what’s even more impressive is the fact that 31 of those URLs are in our database, meaning that they have been spreading disinformation. The societies affected range from Uzbekistan to Belarus, and from Germany to Spain.

In other words: while Santa flies around the world once a year, pro-Kremlin disinformation does the same, but on a daily basis.

Last week, pro-Kremlin disinformation outlets were fighting back against the World Anti-Doping Agency’s decision to ban Russia from the Olympics. As a response, accusations of doping were described as a theater of the absurd, a weapon against Russia, and revenge for Russian athletes’ victories. In reality, Russia could have made a serious attempt to stop its state-sponsored doping system, but evidently decided not to.

Do These Challenges Sound Familiar?

We know that we need a new website and we know we need to rebrand, but we need some help writing a brief before taking it out to tender.

We have commissioned an agency to rename us, but we’re now at a standstill as we don’t seem to be able to make a decision. We currently have twenty name options. How can we resolve this?

Our organisation is at a point where we need a rebrand, but we’re not quite sure what to tackle first and then how to prioritise everything else. How do we put a structure and brief in place so that we pick the right agency?

I’ve been tasked with heading up a new project in an area that I’ve not worked in before. I need to put out a public statement that is aligned with our company values and has the right tone of voice. I could also do with a bit of practice fielding tricky questions so that I don't get caught out!

We’ve started a rebrand project in a rush so there’s no real process in place. At the moment it feels like we’re going round in circles and we’re not sure how to move it forward. Can you help us get moving again?

Last year there was some money spent on marketing, but with no strategic plan in place, no KPI’s and very little sense of our audience. The CEO was disappointed with the result and is now showing resistance to further marketing investment. Any ideas on how to get him back on board?

I know that our service offers real potential for us to become the market leaders. Even though a rebrand might not be on the cards for 2-3 years, in order for my business plans to work it is essential that some kind of brand vision and messaging work occurs now. Can you help?

How Haai has helped

Toby's vision, expertise, and experience helped us to develop and communicate a bold, exciting and direct narrative to our audience. His creativity and ideas have been invaluable in helping us recognise exactly what we want to say and how to shape our message with flair and style. He has made everything so easy!

Case Study: North Sea Operator Trials Innovative P+A Barrier Verification with Potential Savings of 34 Hours Rig Time

Relay™ Tractor System Successfully Deploys Shale Barrier Assessment Tools in Highly Deviated Well Section

Challenge – The well section in question was a highly deviated section (72°), meaning that any deployment by gravity alone would be unachievable. Additionally, a restrictive deck footprint meant that any option would need to fit in with a busy rig that had ongoing subsea P&A operations. Good-quality data would be required for immediate specialist analysis and identification of suitable shale barrier zones behind the 9 5∕8 -inch casing to enable a real-time isolation barrier solution that could be implemented and verified.

Solution – Deployment modeling confirmed that challenges could be encountered that would prevent a standard tool string from reaching the required depth. It was determined that tool deployment with the Halliburton RELAY™ tractor system would be the most efficient method, should deployment assistance be required in the well.

Halliburton CAST-M™ and CBL-M tools, along with its multi-finger imaging tool (MIT), were selected to gain all the necessary data in a single pass in order to effectively identify and evaluate any shale barrier zones behind the 9 5∕8 -inch casing. Deployment on mono-conductor e-line ensured a minimum footprint on the rig.

The Halliburton Formation and Reservoir Solutions team recommended utilizing its advanced cement evaluation, barrier assessment analysis, and casing inspection services  to provide fast-turnaround information so that immediate decisions could be made regarding this well barrier solution.

Halliburton tubing-conveyed perforating (TCP) and completions teams proposed a combined tool string for an efficient isolation barrier pressure test.

Is Your Family Ready for an Earthquake or Tsunami Level Emergency?

Creating a Emergency Preparedness Kit

Going through Facebook and Twitter, one can’t help but notice the outpouring of support for the tsunami victims in Japan. A status message from my friend Orietta really struck me. She said, “Thinking its time to start practicing some earthquake drills at home with the kids and get them involved in making an emergency supply …

The Totally Unsexy First Step To Minimalism and Why It’s Important

The First Step to Minimalism

Imagine a stone, its surface worn smooth with time.

A drop of water falls on it and rolls away, taking with it a molecule or two of the stone’s surface.

A few minutes later another drop, another molecule washed away.

This keeps up for years, for eons.

Eventually, there is an indentation in the surface of the stone, a groove worn by the accumulation of the drops of water. No single drop can be held responsible for this wearing away, but it’s happened anyway.

When we talk about minimalism, or simple living, if you prefer, we tend to start with the fun bits: the massive decluttering that allows us to breathe easily and see our living spaces and our lives with fresh eyes. But if we start and stop there, it won’t be long before we have to do another massive declutter and then another and another. Each time questioning our sanity, vowing to do better and tossing away bits of ourselves.

At some point, we need to turn off the tap.

I’ve made reference to this before, but I’d like to expand on it a little bit.

I think stuff is like the water falling on the stone. Each piece of stuff you buy or receive or take gets a microscopic bit of you – your time, your attention, your care. And when it leaves your life, it takes that away with it.

Which is not an excuse for hoarding. Those bits of you have already been taken, whether the item stays in your life or not.

This is a good reason to be very careful about what you allow in to your life in the first place. I would rather be the recipient of my time and attention, my desire and passion. I’d rather keep a goodly store of that for my own adventures than to waste it on clothes or gadgets.

And yes, there are some things that give more to our lives than they take away from them. Books, maybe. A musical instrument if you’re a musician. Art supplies if you actually use them. The important thing is to figure out which those are before you let them in to your life.

Ask questions.

What will this item require of me, in terms of time, money, energy, crushing guilt? How will I dispose of it when the time comes? Do I already have one of these in disguise? Why am I shopping now? Isn’t it nap time?

I find that if I ask enough questions, I eventually get tired of myself and move on to something else, totally forgetting about the thing I wanted to purchase.

And don’t think I’m never tempted by the shiny and the new (or in my case the old and rusty – I really do love a good patina…)

I recently read David Sedaris’ piece in the New Yorker about his Fitbit and fell hard. Especially when he went on to have a garbage truck named after him, because, honestly, who wouldn’t?

I tried to make do with the fitness app on my cell phone but I think it’s lying to me, or maybe just carrying it in my purse muffles my steps so it can’t keep an actual count. Plus, unless I carry it from room to room all day long, it’s gonna miss a bunch of steps and now that I’ve downloaded the app I want full credit for every damn step I take.

I went so far as to look the stupid things up online. I was on the verge of emailing our local purveyor of all things tech to see if he could sell me one when I finally grabbed hold of my thinking and took a giant step back (it counts for at least three, fitness app!).

The thing is made of plastic with little blinking lights on it. How long before it breaks and needs to be discarded? I can tell by the way my clothes fit and my knees feel that I need to walk more and do more yoga. I don’t need a little plastic bracelet to tell me that. What I do need to do is make the time to walk more and go to my yoga class. D’uh.

So, yeah. Temptation abounds. Questions rock. And eventually, the massive clearouts get smaller and further apart.

And you have more of your time, attention and passion to spend on yourself instead of beeping, blinking bits of plastic or whatever the hell else you may have a hankering for.

    Confession…bought a Jawbone…you are SO right…do I really need to be told how I slept last night? how many steps I have taken…or not…and be guilted by a wrist band? The conversation I usually have with myself before a ourchase is..”Will this make my life better in any way?” Unfortunately I don’t always like the answer!

    • Barb says:

      “Am I really tired, or do I just feel tired…?”

      It’s good not to fall for the blandishments of stuff, but when we do (and it happens to me, too) it’s good to cut ourselves major slack.

    But I worry that if we master the calculation of cost, we lose sight of the worth of things.

Japan and Freemasonry: Why Pax Japonica Ahead?

Recently, I posted a short essay here, to which various actors in the global community and financial market as well kindly responded. Having read through their insightful comments, I could make sure that a historical consensus towards the new era “Pax Japonica” is being created in the global leadership in an accelerated manner.

Now, you may wonder “Why Pax Japonica ahead?” As far as all of us know, Japanese leadership in both politics and economy is obviously less resilient against various risks such as COVID-19, so that they can’t provide even 2 pieces of masks to each one of the Japanese nationals yet. This is the very reality of the Japanese nation state which once proudly proclaimed as number one country in the world in 1980s. Instead of obtaining their own “official-made” masks from the Government of Japan, the people on the street here are just waiting for 100,000 JPY, which GOJ promised to give them in the Diet. Nevertheless, to be honest, I’m wondering how come such a government as the GOJ, which can’t technically dispatch small masks to its people yet, can pay this extra crisis benefit to them without causing any serious troubles. Based on all these issues we can imagine and are facing right now as well, it might seem to be entirely legitimate to say that “Pax Japonica” will never come. Never ever.

In this juncture, you’re kindly recommended to change your viewpoint, I think. Well, you’re fully right when you regard “Pax Japonica” as a never-ending story as long as you just focus on what’s taking place inside Japan. But the question is whether it’s really the Japanese that are allowed to make self-decisions on their own future. Both legally and practically, the answer is YES. However, you’ll immediately doubt it when you’ll have read the following:

The organizational structure of the “Freemason” is said to be divided into three parts. Each one of them has its own headquarter. The first one is located in London/UK, the second in Philadelphia/US, and last but not the least, the third one in Rome/Italy. Several years ago, I was given an opportunity to read through one of the most significant documents distributed exclusively to the members of the third one in Rome. To my surprise, the paper clearly states as follows:

*The world history always used to change itself from Japan. Everything entirely new always gets started from Japan (Not from other major countries such as US and Europe).

*Japan flourishes dramatically and leads the world thanks to this rule of the earth, conditioned that any powerful “leaders” govern the country. If the “powerful” leaders try to lead the nation, Japan always fails.

*In short, it’s really good for both the whole world and Japan that no “powerful” leaders lead the country of Rising Sun.

Koreshige INUZUKA, Captain of the former Japanese Imperial Navy. Enthusiastic Hunter of Freemasons in Shanghai during WWII.

Koreshige INUZUKA, Captain of the former Japanese Imperial Navy.
Enthusiastic Hunter of Freemasons in Shanghai during WWII.

Now that you read that, you may have grasped automatically what I meant to say when I herewith referred to the fate of Japan’s PM Shinzo ABE. Once he would make up his mind to resign, the world history will step forward together with Japan. Let’s see. In this regard, what will take place in the forthcoming June here in Japan will extremely decisive, I believe. Stay tuned.

Sleep Apnea Surgery

What is Sleep Apnea?

People with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have disrupted sleep and low blood oxygen levels. When obstructive sleep apnea occurs, the tongue falls against the back of the throat with inspiration. This blocks the upper airway and airflow stops. When the oxygen level in the brain becomes low enough, the sleeper partially awakens, the obstruction in the throat clears and the flow of air starts again, usually with a loud gasp. Repeated cycles of decreased oxygenation lead to very serious cardiovascular problems. Additionally, these individuals suffer from excessive daytime sleepiness, depression, and loss of concentration. Some patients have obstructions that are less severe called Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS). In either case, the individuals suffer many of the same symptoms.

What should I do if my spouse is a chronic loud snorer?

Chronic loud snoring is one of the most common symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea, and in fact the louder and more chronic the snoring is, the greater the likelihood of OSA. If you are regularly tired during the day even though you have had sufficient sleep or if your snoring is paired with choking or gasping sound, you may have sleep apnea. Heavy snoring may be associated with OSA, which can be a serious sleep disorder and a risk factor for heart disease, stroke, diabetes and many other health problems. Seek a consultation with a sleep expert to assess the snoring problem so that an action plan can be developed.

What Sleep Apnea solutions are there?

The first step in treatment resides in recognition of the symptoms and seeking appropriate consultation. In addition to a detailed history, our doctors will assess the anatomic relationships in the maxillofacial region. Sometimes a naso-pharyngeal exam is done with a flexible fiber-optic camera. To confirm the amount of cardiovascular compromise and decreased oxygenation levels, a sleep study may be recommended to monitor individuals overnight. There are several treatment options available. An initial treatment may consist of using a nasal CPAP machine that delivers pressurized oxygen through a nasal mask to limit obstruction at night. One of the surgical options is a uvulo-palato-pharyngo-plasty (UPPP), which is performed in the back of the soft palate and throat.

Ontario: Waste Processing Company Fines Increased to $170,000 for Environmental Protection Act Violations

The Ontario Environment Ministry recently announced that an appeal court varied the sentence of an Ontario waste processing company and increased the fine from $140,000 to $170,000. The $30,000 fine increase reflected the anticipated cost of an embedded audit. The victim fine surcharge also increased from $35,000 to $42,500. The sentencing court also vacated the Order requirement that the company conduct the embedded audit.

The appeal court ruling stems from two separate matters in which an Ontario waste processing company, Quantex, was convicted of violations related to permitting waste to pass from its control without accurately completing a manifest, for transferring waste subject to land disposal restrictions without giving notice to the receiver, and for permitting the emission of an air contaminant to an extent that it may cause personal discomfort.  The offences occurred in 2016.

The company was originally convicted in 2018.  The Ontario Court of Justice granted the Crown’s appeal of the sentence that had been imposed on June 26, 2018 after a guilty plea, and increased the fine from $140,000 to $170,000, plus victim fine surcharge.

On June 26, 2018, Quantex was convicted of three violations and was fined a total of $140,000 plus a victim fine surcharge of $35,000 with 2 years to pay. The court also issued a probation order requiring the company to retain an independent auditor to conduct an embedded audit of some of the company’s waste management practices.

In December 2018, when the embedded audit was to begin, Quantex advised the Crown that it had sold the facility. It subsequently became apparent that the company had sold the facility prior to being sentenced in June 2018 and that Quantex had provided inaccurate information to the sentencing court. Therefore, the earlier sentencing had been conducted on the basis of inaccurate information.

At the time of the violations, Quantex Technologies Inc. operated a hazardous and liquid industrial waste transferring/processing site in Kitchener under ministry approval.  In the first matter, between November 2015 and January 2016, Quantex accepted hazardous wastes which were bulked together and shipped to another waste processing/transfer facility. Ministry inspection indicated that the waste manifest did not accurately reflect the waste classifications and that Quantex had not notified the receiver that some of the waste was subject to land disposal restrictions. As a consequence, the receiving facility was not aware that some of the waste had classifications that were not approved under the company’s ministry approval.

In the second matter, in August 2016, Quantex employees were transferring liquid industrial and/or hazardous wastes from storage totes into a tanker trailer on-site, and the truck’s vacuum pump and exhaust was being discharged into the air. During the transfer period, neighbours experienced burning and irritated eyes, a chlorine-like odour and difficulty breathing. The occurrence was reported to Quantex, which ceased the operation immediately.

The Environment ministry’s Investigations and Enforcement Branch investigated and laid charges resulting in three convictions.

Healthy Sweet Potato Brownies

I love sweet potato and have been thinking for a while now that I want to start experimenting with them for dessert. So when a friend invited me over for dinner I thought it was the perfect opportunity to try adding this decadently healthy starchy veg to something sweet. The result is these deliciously healthy brownies.

This recipe is adapted from the Eat, Drink Paleo version with a few modifications for consistency (and experimentation). Feel free to add your spin to it too!

– 1 medium sweet potato, grated or 2-2.5 cups
– 2 whole eggs
– 2 tsp vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup raw honey – you can add more or less for taste
– 1/2 cup of good quality olive oil
– 1 heaped tsp of gluten free baking powder
– 1/2 tsp baking soda
– 1 cup cacao powder (reduce quantity if you like a milder chocolate taste)
– 1 – 2 tbsp coconut flour

Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
Combine sweet potato, eggs, vanilla, honey and olive oil in a large bowl and stir until well combined. Add baking powder & soda and stir. Finally add cacao. After this add coconut flour, keeping an eye on consistency, you may add only 1 tablespoon to get the right consistency, too much will make the batter “dry”.
Cook for 25-30 mins (mine were done at 25) and cool for a further 10.
Enjoy hot or cold. Either drizzled with some melted good quality chocolate or served with cream.

    Cooked these tonight….deliciously rich and filling and even the hubby liked them and he is super fussy

‘Masterchef’ 2016 Judges

"Masterchef" Judges 2016

It's season 7 of Masterchef and one of our favorite veteran judges is not returning to the show. As a result, there will be rotating guest judges to replace the beloved Graham Elliot. Elliot will not be a judge on Masterchef Junior any longer either. In an interview with Variety, Elliot talked about his departure in-depth, saying that: It has been an awesome experience to be part of the ‘MasterChef’ family. I learned so much from the people I got to work with and it has been a true honor to share my love of cooking with the audiences who have allowed me into their homes over the last six years. I remain committed to using my passion for cooking as a way to entertain and teach people of all ages, and will be making some exciting announcements about the next steps of that journey in the new year. The announcement of his leaving the show came in December 2015. And, now that you're caught up, click through our gallery to see which judges have come back to the show and who the guest judges are this season. Oh, and just an FYI, Latin Times reports that Wolfgang Puck will be on board as a guest judge in addition to the others. (©2016 Fox Broadcasting Co.)

‘Battlefield 1’ Tips: How to Get More Scraps

Battlefield 1 xbox one, Battlefield 1 ps4, Battlefield 1 windows

‘Battlefield 1’ is now available for PS4, Xbox One and PC. (DICE)

Battlefield 1 is among the best new games of the fall, a visceral and fast-paced online multiplayer shooter that’s attracting millions of players to its online servers. But for many of those players, especially those new to the series, the system by which users obtain Battlepacks, weapons, weapon skins, and other items is a bit confusing. Battlepacks, for instance, are purchased using scraps, but what exactly are scraps, and how do you get them?

Here’s how all of this works: Basically, Battlepacks are given to random players at the conclusion of each match, and those packs contain weapon skins. The other way of getting Battlepacks is to purchase them using scraps. Scraps can only be obtained by getting rid of weapon skins you have received through Battlepacks. This is the only way you can get Battlepacks other than being randomly gifted them at the ends of matches.

Basically, then, when you’re lucky enough to get a Battlepack, go through it and see what skins you want and what skins you don’t, or what skins you already have. Then, get rid of the ones you don’t need, get scraps, and eventually you’ll have enough scraps to get a whole new Battlepack.

To tear down some of your unneeded weapon skins for scraps, here’s what you need to do:

  • From the main menu, head to the “more” tab
  • Select “Battlepacks”
  • Head to the “inventory” tab
  • Find the weapon skin you’d like to get rid of. When you highlight a weapon skin, the game will tell you how many scraps it’s worth
  • Press whatever button corresponds to scraping the weapon item; obviously, it’s different on PS4, Xbox One and PC
  • Hit “OK”

While you’re in that “more” menu, you can see your inventory of scraps on the top right corner of the screen. The only purpose of scraps is to buy Battlepacks, and there are three types: regular Battlepacks, Enhanced Battlepacks, and Superior Battlepacks. Each of the packs only gives you a single skin, but Superior Battlepacks have a better chance of containing a Legendary skin than the regular packs, and Superior Battlepacks always give you a Legendary skin. Enhanced Battlepacks also sometimes give you a melee weapon piece or an XP boost, and a Superior Battlepack has an even higher chance of giving you those two things.

It’s important to note that Battlepacks do not contain actual weapons; they only contain weapon skins. The weapons themselves are purchased using War Bonds, and you can only get those bonds by leveling your way through the game.

Also worth noting is how the “revision” system works. You may have noticed that next to the Battlepacks, you’ll see a menu identifying weapons that are contained in a certain revision. Each revision is basically a collection of skins that you can possibly receive from Battlepacks, and they’re constantly being rotated. Things started off with Revision 1 at launch, but on October 27th, Revision 2 went live. Depending on when you open a Battlepack, then, there may be an entirely different collection of weapon skin possibilities.

Subscription Blooms

Weekly, fortnightly or monthly subscription

Because one bunch ain't enough! A regular flower delivery is the perfect gift idea for a loved one, or to treat yourself

Our subscription blooms are delivered in a cute little mason jar and the flowers change daily, so you wont ever receive the same bunch. You can choose if you want delivery once a week, once a fortnight, or once a month. The let us take care of the rest!

Steps to set up your subscription:

  1. Choose the frequency you would like the subscription blooms delivered (once every 7 days, fortnight or month)
  2. Tick the subsciption check box to acknowledge your sign up
  3. Choose your first delivery date
  4. Select quantity of jars per delivery - please note: leave this at 1 for one jar per delivery

A direct debit will be processed from the billing account set up, and ta-da, a new subscription jar will be delivered on the same day as the first delivery was made on.

You can log in and edit your subscription at any time.

Please note: This item is for subscription only. If you are looking for a once-off delivery, head to our daily bunch page.

Is Cambridge IGCSE equivalent to the UK GCSE?

Cambridge IGCSE was developed as a GCSE examination for international use and the academic demands and standards of Cambridge IGCSE are equivalent to those of the UK GCSE. Cambridge IGCSE exams are tailored for a multi–cultural, multi–lingual audience in a way that UK GCSE exams are not. They are aligned to the standards of the UK GCSE, and are equivalent on a subject–for–subject, grade–for–grade basis. On our website, we have produced a document outlining how we align the standard of Cambridge IGCSE with equivalent qualifications taken in England.

UK NARIC, the national agency in the UK for the recognition and comparison of international qualifications and skills, carried out an independent benchmarking study of Cambridge IGCSE and found it to be comparable to the standard of UK GCSE. This means students can be confident that their Cambridge IGCSE qualifications are accepted as equivalent to UK GCSEs by leading universities worldwide. Please visit our website for further information.

You need:

  • a Javascript library like OpenLayers or Leaflet to display the map
  • a geocoding service like Nominatim to find the geo-coordinates for a given address
  • a tile server from which to load map tiles
  • a little glue coding that puts it all together (get address from user, send to Nominatim, create marker for position returned, display on map)

For points 2 and 3 you will either be relying on a service provided by someone else (which may cost money and may be subject to certain usage restrictions) or you will be setting up your own server(s) (which may require considerable resources).

The switch2osm.org web site has good resources aimed at people looking for a Google maps replacement.

A brief link for a start http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Openlayers_POI_layer_example This is an example how to use OpenLayers to show POIs on top of a OpenStreetMap base map.

The next step is to get that locations from a database: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenLayers_Dynamic_POI

Note that there are other frameworks too, for example Leaflet. It could be even better suited, but I haven't yet used Leaflet.
