What would happen if you approached life from the inside-out?

We work hard at being happy. We pursue financial peace, provide for our families, and prepare for the unexpected. And when our circumstances are good, life is good.

But what happens when the economy is uncertain? When a loved one is ill? When challenges are beyond our control? Then life is not so good. Why is this? Because we tend to focus on life from the outside-in: We believe that if we make the outside comfortable, we’ll be satisfied inside. Yet this approach makes our joy dependent on things we can’t control.

But there’s another approach to life, where we can be free of worry, find security in tough times, and experience true, lasting joy. A way of life where we’re content no matter what. Sound difficult? It’s actually impossible. Until we bring God into the equation. And lifeshift our view from the outside-in to the inside-out.

Heritage & History

The following are excerpts from Dover Town Plan.
Dover was settled in 1779 by Captain Abner Perry of Hollister, Massachusetts. The real history of Dover began when a Vermont Charter, signed by Governor Thomas Chittenden, head of the newly formed Vermont Republic, was granted on November 7, 1780, to William Ward of Newfane and sixty associates. This parcel of land containing about 26,464 acres was incorporated into a township named Wardsborough. A petition to divide the Town of Wardsborough into north and south was signed on September 25, 1878. On October 30, 1810, the Legislative Assembly passed an Act to incorporate Wardsborough and Dover into separate towns; the south district called Dover.
The early 1900's brought the beginning of the tourist industry to the area. Summer residences were established on the Handle Road and Cooper Hill. Many of the local residents began taking in summer boarders. People would come by train by way of Wilmington and Brattleboro to spend one week to the whole summer at various farms throughout the town.
In 1953, Walter Schoenknecht of East Haven, Connecticut, purchased the Ruben Snow farm, and turned it into the Mount Snow Ski Area. This marked the beginning of the Dover we see today. In the beginning there were only a couple of ski lodges in the area. The summer boarders became a thing of the past, and practically everyone who had a spare room or attic began taking in skiers. As time went on, lodges and motels began to spring up, as well as restaurants, stores, ski shops, and nightclubs.
The early skier was often brought in to Mount Snow by sleigh or Bombardier when the road to the mountain was dirt and impassable by car. A new access road, now Route 100, was built and paved.
Vacation home developments sprang up near the base of the mountain. An airport and golf course were also built. Mount Snow established its now famous Golf School in the 1970s.
In 1996, Mount Snow was sold to the American Skiing Company. The company built the Grand Summit Hotel and Conference Center.
The Town of Dover is in the center of southern Vermont. The entire town covers 35.8 square miles, which is characterized by mountainous terrain. These ranges have elevations reaching over 2500 feet.
A bit of history of Company F, 16th Regiment Vermont Volunteer Infantry

The Town of Dover recently restored a Civil War Military Register, listing the members of Company F, 16th VT Regiment, which includes residents from the Dover area who fought with this regiment. The original document is now framed under glass and stored in our vault. We have reproduced it to an 11x17 poster which is available for purchase.  Currently, it can be viewed at the Town Office.

~~A bit of history of Company F, 16th Regiment Vermont Volunteer Infantry~~

The 16th Regiment, Vermont Volunteer Infantry (or 16th VVI) was a nine months' infantry regiment in the Union Army during the American Civil War.

It served in the eastern theater, predominantly in the Defenses of Washington, from October 1862 to August 1863. It was a member of the 2nd Vermont Brigade.

The 16th Vermont Infantry, a nine months regiment, was raised as a result of President Abraham Lincoln's call on August 4, 1862, for additional troops due to the disastrous results of the Peninsula Campaign.

It was recruited in Windsor and Windham Counties, the two southernmost counties in the state, and company F. was organized in Wilmington on September 3, 1862, recruited by Henry F. Dix.

The regiment rendezvoused at Brattleboro on October 9, and was mustered into the United States service on October 23, with 949 officers and men. They left Brattleboro on October 24, and arrived in Washington, D.C. on the morning of October 27, going into camp near the other four regiments that were then formed into the 2nd Vermont Brigade.

Major engagements:

Fairfax Court House, January 1863

Union Mills, March-June 1863

Bristoe Station--June 1863

Gettysburg--July 1863

Pursuit of Lee--July 1863

Mustered out August 10, 1863

Regiment lost during service 1 Officer and 23 Enlisted men killed and mortally wounded and 1 Officer and 48 Enlisted men by disease. Total 73.

Efficient and Accurate Lab Data Import and Comparison when Using CAS Numbers (Chemical Abstract System) and ChemCodes

Via: ReleaseWire

Updated 8:54 AM CDT, Thu, September 06,2018

New South Wales, Australia -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/06/2018 -- When combining environmental data from different sources, or comparing data against environmental standards there is a need to ensure a certain level of standardisation to overcome variations in naming of chemical compounds: (ie Fe (total), Fe (Total), Total Iron, and Iron (total)) particularly if this same problem applies to a large number of chemicals.

To provide a consistent point of reference for different compound names the CAS (Chemical Abstract Service) numbering system is used where possible. CAS provides a unique and consistent code for each compound. Laboratory data is typically provided with a code for each chemical, however, occasionally a code will not be offered or will not be consistent with the database. Historical data will need codes to be assigned. ESdat, Environmental Data Management software, has functionality used during data import to assign or resolve problems with ChemCodes. You can compare and match your ChemCodes with the standard ESdat list provided to laboratories.

A set of ChemCodes in your system that has evolved and deviated from the standard set maintained by EScIS as part of the ESdat software results in a number of problems including inefficiencies in the import of laboratory reports; difficulties in comparing data from different laboratories; and deviations from the ChemCodes used in the Environmental Standards compiled by EScIS. Differences from the standard set of ChemCodes places an additional burden on users who are responsible for ensuring the lab reports all import correctly.

Recent functionality available in ESdat Server allows users to automatically update their ChemCode list from the list centrally maintained by EScIS for their region. Automatically updating ChemCodes assists all users to ensure their record is consistent with the codes that are provided for laboratories to use and avoids adjustments needing to be made during the import process. As new ChemCodes are added (e.g. for PFAS) it also allows for users to add these to their system efficiently.

The ability to synch onsite systems with EScIS's standard ChemCode list is complemented by the recent release of LabSynch, which provides for lab reports to be automatically loaded into the system with no user involvement in the import or in any error resolution process.

For more information on ESdat Server and efficiently maintaining your ChemCode list see the ESdat website.

About EScIS
EScIS provide environmental and groundwater database software, consultancy, advisory, programming, customization, implementation, and training services.

EScIS also develop and resell the ESdat suite of software. ESdat is used worldwide and is the most widely used environmental and groundwater data management and analysis package in the Asia / Pacific.

Pentax Optio T10 – Preview @ DigitalCameraInfo

James Murray had his hands on the new Pentax Optio T10, a 6.0 megapixels (CCD sensor) point-and-shoot digital camera with 3x optical zoom (equivalent to 35-105mm) and a 3″ LCD touch-display screen.

“With an intuitive menu structure, manual control options which are accessible to the beginner, playback features that should entertain and a 2.5-inch LCD with a touch screen interface, the Pentax Optio T10 certainly looks to be a strong competitor in the new touch screen market. The camera has a 1/2.5-inch, 6 MP CCD, and includes a vast wealth of still image parameters and a fully functioning movie mode with 30 fps and a 640 x 480 resolution. There are a number of general shooting modes, a manual focus option that has a basic interface and manual controls in general which reflect the simple, clean and understated design of the entire camera. “

The Essential Unified Process

The Basis Of the Process

At the heart of EssUP are a number of simple and proven practices that can be used as the foundation for all styles and scale of software development. These practices have all been designed so that they can be adopted individually or in any combination you desire. This makes the process easy to adopt and enables it to provide a foundation for the creation and assembly of a process that truly meets your needs, the needs of developers, and the needs of your development organization.

EssUP comes with five foundation practices and three work practices to ease the introduction of the process into your organization. The five foundation practices address technical development work. To complement the technical foundation provided by the development practices, three other practices promote effective team work and process improvement.

Test is everywhere. We believe in the saying "Whatever you do, you are not done until you have verified that you did what you wanted to do," or "Everyone is his own cleaner." We make test an integral part of everything we do. Use-Case Essentials include test-driven design because use cases are early test cases. Component Essentials include unit testing of components.

This set of practices provides you with the foundation to take an agile approach to process planning and implementation. You can adopt all the practices, just the practices you need, an individual practice, or even a partial practice. You can mix and match the practices to meet your needs, write your own practices to extend the process, and mix in your own existing practices to build on your own experiences. This is a significant difference to traditional processes, which are developed with all their practices tightly intertwined.

Congratulation to Ljubljana, European Green Capital!

Category: News

Our journey with the ECONYL® Regeneration system started many years ago exactly in the city that in these days has been declared European Green Capital, so we are very happy to congratulate Ljubljana for this great achievement!

This milestone was the result of the great efforts done to raise environmental awareness amongst its citizens, for its implementation of urban green measures, its sustainability strategy and the incredible transportation network.

Ljubljana prevailed over Essen (Germany), Nijmegen (The Netherlands), Oslo (Norway) and Umea (Sweden). Janez Potocnik, Commissioner of Environment, said: “All of the finalists of this Award provide us with valuable real-life examples of how respect for the environment, excellent quality of life and economic growth can all be successfully combined”.

Having our ECONYL® regeneration plant there, we lived the big changes of the latest years and are very proud to be able to work in such a city that shares our same concerns for the environment and focuses on finding everyday better solutions with collaboration, research and development, technology and the principles of circular economy.

Chinese Culture & Art Class

Besides providing academic programs in China, a wide variety of unique Chinese culture and art programs can be offered by Education Abroad China too. The purpose of the classes is to provide international learning experience to students that cannot be taught on campus and let them be immersed in Chinese culture, history and folk art.
1.Peking Opera Mask
Peking Opera is a China’s national treasure with a history of more than 200 years. It is a synthesis of stylized action, singing, dialogue and mime, acrobatic fighting and dancing to represent a story or depict different characters and their feelings of gladness, anger, sorrow, happiness, surprise, fear and sadness. The types of facial make-ups in Peking opera are rich and various, depicting different characters and remarkable images, therefore they are highly appreciated. The purple color opera mask symbolizes candor and uprightness while the red color symbolizes faithfulness, loyalty and courage, black color symbolizes firmness and honesty, the blue color symbolizes valor, stubbornness and intractability; yellow color symbolizes brutality and insidiousness and white face symbolizes a knight who is crafty and cruel. The craft of making traditional opera masks is unique. A few strokes of the brush and every color turns a piece of plaster into a Peking opera mask.
2.Chinese Calligraphy
Chinese calligraphy is an art unique to Asian culture and as an abstract art for more than 4,000 years. Qin (a string musical instrument), Qi (a strategic board game), Shu (calligraphy) and Hua (painting) are the four basic skills and disciplines of the Chinese literati. Regarded as the most abstract and sublime form of art in Chinese culture, calligraphy is often thought to be most revealing of one’s personality. In addition to being an art form in its own right, calligraphy has also influenced ink and wash painting, which is accomplished using similar tools and techniques.
3.Chinese Cooking
China’s cuisine has evolved into one of the great cuisines of the world. For more than 5,000 years, food has played an auspicious role in nearly all aspects of Chinese society from health and medicine to business and celebration and it is no less important today. Emphasis on the freshness, flavor and texture of ingredients Is key to fine Chinese cooking. To get the most out of even simple ingredients, a variety of techniques is used to highlight and accent food qualities. Quick cooking with a wok and deep-frying are universal to most styles of cooking in China. You’ll also find other cooking methods such as steaming, roasting, barbecuing, stewing, poaching and braising used extensively. Chef-instructors will demonstrate different classic Sichuan dishes and then each person will make one of the dishes from start to finish. The class is taught in Chinese with English interpretation by our culinary tour guide. Small classes allow individual instruction and ample time for questions.
4.Kite Making
Kites were invented by the Chinese people over 2000 years ago. About in the 12th century, Chinese kite spread to the West and oriental and Western kite culture was formed after years of development. In this process, the traditional culture integrated with the kite craft and finally formed the kite culture with unique characteristics.
Through the centuries, kite making has grown into a sophisticated handicraft. Functionally, they come in four categories: toys, decorations, stunt and application kites. Toy kites are the most diverse variety, while decorative kites have a greater visual appeal than flying characteristics. The third category is known for its aerial stunts, such as diving, soaring and somersaults. Application kites are used for communication, surveying, taking photographs and spreading leaflets.
Making a kite includes three steps of binding, pasting and painting. Most Chinese kites are made with a bamboo frame and a silk or paper covering as well as completely hand-painted. An experienced crafter will show and teach you how to make a kite step by step.
5.Lantern Making
Lanterns, the traditional folk handicrafts, are still popular all over Beijing and other parts of the country. And the art of lanterns, as the precious traditional culture of Chinese, is also inherited and continues among folks. Lanterns play an important role in Chinese long history and symbolize the brilliant culture of China.
 6.Chinese Painting
Starting around 4000 B.C traditional Chinese painting has developed continuously over a period of more than six thousand years. Its growth has inevitably reflected the changes of time and social conditions. In its early stage of development, Chinese painting was closely related to the other crafts, from pottery to the decorations used on the bronzes and carved jade. Chinese painting developed and was classified by themes into three genres: Figures, landscapes and bird-and-flowers.
7.Paper Cuttings
Paper cuts can be seen in many parts of China during the Spring Festival. People paste patterns on the window, door lintel or desks for the festival atmosphere. Paper cutting is a very distinctive visual art of Chinese handicrafts. The most popular use of paper cuttings were as “window flowers”. Long ago houses in northern China were constructed with windows of thin, semi-transparent paper. Red paper cutouts were pasted on the windows, as well as walls and ceilings to give a look of color and lightness. These cutouts were later used to decorate gifts, candy containers, table services and tea sets. In one of their most important uses, paper cuts served as patterns for embroidery. Today, as in the ancient times, paper-cuttings is a highly technical art form requiring creativity, skill and experience. No matter how simple or complex, every design must be formed as an unbroken, continuous piece. Generally, there are two common methods for paper-cuttings, depending on whether they are cut with scissors or knives.
8.Chinese Kung Fu(Martial arts)
Chinese Kung Fu,in Mandarin Wu Shu are a number of fighting styles that have developed over the centuries in China. These fighting styles are often classified according to common traits, identified as "families" ,"sects"  or "schools"  of martial arts. Examples of such traits include physical exercises involving animal mimicry, or training methods inspired by Chinese philosophies, religions and legends. Styles that focus on qi manipulation are called internal ,while others that concentrate on improving muscle and cardiovascular fitness are called external, Geographical association, as in northern fist  and southern fist, is another popular classification method.
Here we provide you two representative Internal&external Kung Fu style:
Shao Lin Kung Fu (External)
There is a saying that Shao Lin Kung Fu is the originate of chinese martial arts.Shao Llin Kong Fu was not created by a single man but by hundreds of top masters inherited from generation to generation.so all forms that have been created by monks or lay-man monks from the temple and all kung fu that came to the temple from outside is referred
Tai Chi Quan (Internal)

There are many different styles or families of Tai Chi Chuan. The five which are practiced most commonly today are the Yang, Chen, Wu , Sun, and Woo styles. All Tai Chi styles, however, are derived from the original Chen family style.
Some people believe that Tai Chi was developed by a Taoist Priest from a temple in China's Wu Dong Mountains. It is said that he once observed a white crane preying on a snake, and mimiced their movements to create the unique Tai Chi martial art style.
Initially, Tai Chi was practiced as a fighting form, emphasizing strength, balance, flexibility, and speed. Through time it has evolved into a soft, slow, and gentle form of exercise which can be practiced by people of all ages. The certified Tai Chi master will teach you and instruct you to practice.
9.The Art of Seals
Despite its small size, the seal plays an extremely important role in the life of a Chinese. Name seals are engraved by hand. Through the technique of carving, name seals combine the beauty of written Chinese characters and line drawing. A name seal produces virtually the same image of the same characters or figures no matter how many times it is used, ans so can be considered a forerunner of one of the four great inventions of the Chinese – printing.

Since the late 1970s, China's economy has developed rapidly and continuously spanning three decades, shifting from a centrally planned to a market based economy. In 2010China became the world’s second largest economy. During the process, China is fuelling its economic growth at enormous costs to the environment and agricultural lands, many environmental problems that have haunted developed countries in different phases of their 100-year-long industrialization have occurred in China all at the same time. The conflict between environment and development is becoming ever more prominent. Relative shortage of resources, a fragile ecological environment and insufficient environmental capacity are becoming critical problems hindering China's development.

While promoting economic growth, the Chinese government has adopted a whole array of measures to strengthen environmental protection. Especially in recent years, the Chinese government, with the scientific outlook on development as the guiding principle of environmental protection, has adhered to focusing on preventive measures, comprehensive control and overall progress with breakthroughs at some key points, and worked hard to solve conspicuous environmental problems threatening people's health. At the same time, it has continued its efforts for institutional innovation, relied on scientific and technological advances, strengthened the legal system of environmental protection, and brought into full play the initiative of people of all walks of life. Thanks to these efforts, although the amount of resource consumption and pollutants is increasing greatly, the trend toward aggravated environmental pollution and ecological destruction is slowing down; especially, environmental pollution control in some river valleys has seen some positive results, the environmental quality of some cities and regions has improved, the amount of pollutant emission of industrial products has declined, and the people's awareness of the importance of environmental protection has enhanced.

Misspelling & How to Improve

Misspelling is a problem that plagues many people, even those who try hard to overcome it. If you are serious about addressing the issue of misspelling, this article will give you some hints about approaches that you might find productive in helping you improve.

Where to Start

People can have trouble with misspelling for different reasons and in different situations, and sometimes the problem itself can suggest a solution. People with special situations, such as a learning disability or dyslexia, may need different types of solutions than people who frequently make mistakes in having single or double consonants. So, it’s a good idea to start with a little self analysis. What types of spelling mistakes do you make?

I’ve Got a Little List

If you know, or discover as you do your self-assessment, any patterns of frequently misspelled words, make a list. But don’t make just any list: go to your computer and in your word processing program, make a table with three columns and 27 rows and with the letters of the alphabet in the left-most column. In the middle top column write “Correct Spelling.” In the right top column write “My Misspelling(s).”

As you review your spelling and in the future, when you come across a word that you’re not sure about, enter it into your chart. Then choose one or more of the following to follow up.

Next Steps

  1. Set-up and use the spell check in your word processing program. What do I mean by set-up? If you have Microsoft Word, you would go to Preferences > Spelling and Grammar and create settings that work for the type(s) of writing you do.
  2. Periodically go to the automatic spelling correction set-up in your word processor (in Microsoft Word it is in Tools > AutoCorrect), and add your own personal misspellings and the correct spellings from your list. If you are diligent about tracking yourself, this will help eliminate your particular errors, even if the spell checker doesn’t recognize them. This is especially helpful for people who need to use specialized vocabulary of any kind in their writing, because spell checkers may fall down on jargon.
  3. If you really want to learn the proper spelling or if you need to because you create a lot of documents for which you are using pen or pencil and paper and not computer, try one or more of these approaches:

  • Make flashcards of your misspellings with the proper spelling on the back. Look at the misspelling side and try to spell each word correctly.
  • Write or type (depending on your goals) each word a bunch of times to get in practice for spelling it properly.
  • Check the pronunciation of each of your problem words and make sure you’re pronouncing it accurately (there may be more than one choice for accurate pronunciation). Incorrect pronunciation can lead to incorrect spelling.
  • Look for spelling patterns: noticing how spelling changes when prefixes and suffixes are added, when plurals are formed, and when verbs are conjugated, will help you in every individual case to which the larger pattern applies. When this is applicable, it is more effective than learning to spell word-by-word.
  • Visualize the proper spelling of words. If you are a visual learner, this may be a helpful method.
  • Use mnemonics. Many people know the rhyme “I before e except after c or when sounded like /ay/ as in neighbor or weigh.” You can make up your own to help you with the particular words that trouble you. The best mnemonics relate the word’s meaning to its spelling and/or its sound. This type of approach gives you the greatest possible number of clues. If you look at the article on “Eminent, Imminent, and Immanent,” for example, you will find at the end the mnemonic I made up about imminent involving the sword of Damocles. I’m not likely to ever forget the spelling now, and that’s the measure of a successful mnemonic.
  • Consider purchasing a book that teaches spelling. My book Painless Spelling (available at is used by adults as well as in school settings.
  • Purchase a misspeller’s dictionary or a Franklin spelling device or similar product. For various reasons, including a disability, some people cannot master spelling. A reference that you can have with you at all times can help make spelling less of a hassle in cases where trying harder is not an appropriate answer.

Egyptian delegation arrives in Gaza and holds several meetings to ease obstacles banning the reconciliation agreement from being fully-implemented – Press Photo Egyptian delegation arrives in Gaza and holds several meetings to ease obstacles banning the reconciliation agreement from being fully-implemented – Press Photo

Egypt’s delegation to Gaza eases reconciliation obstacles

Mon, Feb. 26, 2018
CAIRO – 26 February 2018: Amid the continuing efforts that started in October 2017, another Egyptian delegation arrived in Gaza Strip on Sunday night and held several meetings with Palestinian officials on Monday, February 26 to discusses the recent developments regarding the reconciliation agreement signed between long-time Palestinian rivals Fatah and Hamas, along with recent disputes barring the internationally-welcomed recalculation from being fully implemented.

The Egyptian delegation was headed by Major General Sameh Nabil from the Egyptian Intelligence and Egypt's General Consul to Ramallah Khaled Samy, as well as other officials. The list of separate meetings included Palestinian Minster of Transportation Sameh Tubeila and Palestinian Minister of Culture Ihab Bseiso, along with several other members of the Palestinian unity government, according to Palestinian media outlets.

During his meeting with the Egyptian officials, Tubeila discussed some of the obstacles stopping the reconciliation agreement from being fully implemented.

The discussions included the money collected by Hamas leaders in different sectors, including transportation and electricity. Tubeila affirmed that his ministry never received any money collected by Hamas regarding transportation.

“Since the beginning of the reconciliation, the government used to spend about $100 million monthly on education, health and many other services in Gaza Strip,” Tubeila stated. He added that several other points were discussed regarding the reconciliation that was considered by the government as a “breach” for the agreement between them and Hamas.

Hamas was partly responsible for the electricity problem, because it took over collecting individual and commercial electricity bills that Gazans had to pay to the Fatah government; however, Hamas was not using this money to buy the needed fuel to keep the generators going.

The Palestinian Authority also cut employees’ salaries in Gaza and limited travel permits for residents seeking medical services outside the besieged strip. Fatah said it would be prepared to restore the various budgets once Hamas enables the legitimate government to exercise its authority over the strip.

Other points, related to the government control over border crossings, were discussed during the meetings of both sides. In statements to Palestinian Sawa news agency on Monday, Azzam al-Ahmad, member of the Fatah Central Committee, affirmed that both the Palestinian and Egyptian parties agreed on several things, including banning terrorists from using the Rafah crossing or taking privilege of it in any way.

“We agreed with the Egyptian authorities two weeks ago not to allow terrorists to use the crossings in Sinai in any way. The suffering of Gaza’s people will not end without ending the dispute between the Palestinian parties along with opening all the crossings, including Rafah,” Ahmad said.

He added that the government will continue doing its job and duties regardless of the challenges and difficulties it may face.

Egypt has opened the Rafah crossing border more than once to allow the passage of humanitarian cases from both sides. The last time it was opened was on February 21 for four days. Cairo has been playing a key role in the reconciliation process between Fatah and Hamas. In October 2017, a reconciliation agreement was signed in Cairo between them.

The Rafah border crossing is one of the most important crossings between Egypt and Gaza, which is formally under the Gaza authorities’ control.

This crossing is mainly specialized for individual movements across borders, and it was being prepared for goods transfer between the two countries. The Rafah crossing border's importance increased after the Israeli forces had destroyed the Yasser Arafat International Airport in 2001, which was the only airport allowing Palestinians to travel.

On November 2, 2017, about seven borders in Gaza have been handed over to the Palestinian National Reconciliation Government after a long period of conflict between Fatah and Hamas that severely affected their capability to negotiate their cause internationally.

However, after the reconciliation conducted between Fatah and Hamas under Egypt's sponsorship in October, several things have changed as the Palestinian factions announced their unity.

The Rafah border crossing might be considered as one of the most important crossings in Gaza, but there are several other crossings that were also handed to the Palestinian National Reconciliation Government.

On September 17, 2017, Hamas announced the dissolution of its administrative committee in the Gaza Strip, inviting the Government of National Reconciliation to assume its duties and hold general elections. The movement affirmed it would comply with the Social Reconciliation Accord signed in 2011.

Since signing the agreement between Fatah and Hamas, several Egyptian delegations have been visiting Gaza, and vice versa, in order to coordinate implementing all of the agreement points and articles; however, a few points still need further discussions between the Palestinian parties.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said that there is no country as vital to the Palestinian cause as Egypt due to its historical and political position in the region. “Egypt has an opinion, a position and an interest in the Palestinian cause,” said Abbas.

In conjunction with the Palestinian-Egyptian meetings regarding the country’s internal disputes, Egypt’s Minster of Foreign Affairs Sameh Shoukry was attending another meeting of foreign ministers of the six-party Arab committee with foreign ministers of the European Union in Brussels at the headquarters of the European Commission regarding Jerusalem’s situation, especially after the recent escalations by the American administration.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ahmed Abu Zeid said in statement issued Monday that the meeting lasted for several hours and discussed resuming the peace process based on international legitimacy.

Royal Military Police Training

Updated March 23, 2017

The Royal Military Police (RMP) are the British Army's policing division. They police the military community wherever in the world they may be stationed. According to the British Army's website, the RMP consists of more than 1,800 personnel, who provide police services at garrisons and military bases and support the military wherever they are on operations.

As with all British Army officers, RMP commissioned officers attend the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst. All other ranks undertake Phase 1 of the Common Military Recruiting Syllabus at Pirbright Army Training Regiment. They will undergo the basic training of all British Army recruits before being assigned to the RMP and undertaking specialised training.

All police personnel of the British military can take training courses at the Defence Police College of Policing and Guarding (DCPG) in Southwick Park. RMP personnel who have successfully completed Phase 1 training at Pirbright then move to the DCPG to complete Phase 2 police training. They may also continue to the Phase 3 investigators course and Phase 4 crime scene management course.

Once in the RMP, personnel can choose between three specialities: the Special Investigation Branch (SIB), Close Protection (CP) and the Provost. The SIB is concerned with investigations pertaining to resolving crimes, while the CP provides operatives to protect high-ranking military personnel, government officials, state visitors and the royal family. The Provost is responsible for custodial services, detention and guarding.

Physical Training

RMP personnel are trained to reach and maintain a high standard of fitness. RMP standards include running 1 1/2 miles in 10 1/2 minutes for males and 13 minutes for females. Males must complete 44 push-ups and females must complete 21 push-ups in two minutes and both males and females must complete 50 sit-ups in two minutes. Agility is tested by means of an obstacle course. Additionally, personnel will undertake physical combative training and tactics.

Ongoing Training

Training development advisers from the Army's Education and Training Services Division work with RMP personnel to provide them with customised advice in military training, education and professional development. The advisers also assist personnel in gaining valuable training, such as business management courses, for when they leave military service and seek civilian employment.

Why global economy may experience double-dip recession

The US Federal Reserve did not kick off a series of interest rate hikes at its September meeting as some expected.

The decision has been criticized by Fed staff and market participants for sending a confusing message about the US central bank’s policy direction.

Fed chairwoman Janet Yellen said she and other Fed officials still believe there is a good chance of liftoff before the end of the year.

Will liftoff come this year?

If so, what about the pace of the rate hikes?

In late October last year, the Fed announced the unwinding of its quantitative easing program, ending the six-year-long bond purchasing scheme.

US monetary policy is set to normalize, and it is only a matter of time.

Whether Fed liftoff will arrive this year is not the key question.

Rather, whether we might see a double-dip recession given slower global economic growth is more worrying.

Christine Lagarde, president of the International Monetary Fund, said Sept. 22 that the global economy is facing three sources of risks — low commodity prices, China’s slowdown in economic growth and rising US interest rates.

[Editor's note: On Tuesday, the IMF trimmed down its global economic growth forecast for 2015 to 3.1 percent from 3.3 percent.]

The reason behind a delayed Fed liftoff includes moderating economic growth in China, which has been a major engine for global economic growth over the years.

Also, the economic recovery in the United States is not that solid, and China’s slowdown could affect the US economy.

As a liberal economist, Yellen cares a lot about the well-being of the underprivileged.

The US economy has shown a slow recovery, and the unemployment rate dropped to 5.1 percent in August.

However, the jobless rate among the young and poor remains quite high.

This has been largely neglected by the media.

That means the job market situation may not be that optimistic, despite some improvement.

In fact, the decision of the Fed liftoff largely depends on the fight between dovish and hawkish Fed members, who have divided views over the outlook for inflation.

Yellen is obviously in the dovish camp.

The hawkish camp has become less powerful within the Fed after Dallas Federal Reserve Bank president Richard Fisher and Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank president Charles Plosser left the Federal Open Market Committee.

The Fed is tilting toward a more dovish stance.

I will not be surprised to see no liftoff this year.

And even if it occurs this year, the pace could be very restricted, to avoid a negative effect on the improving job market for the underprivileged.

The modest rate hike may not affect the real economy.

The overnight federal funds rate is around 0.25 percent, and I believe the Fed might raise the rate to 0.375 percent if it decides to make its move this year.

Some say the Fed’s liftoff might accelerate capital outflows from emerging markets.

However, I don’t see that as a key factor affecting global economic growth.

Rather, liftoff will show that the US government is quite confident in the economic recovery and that it needs to hike interest rates to curb inflation, which only happens when there is full employment.

In this case, it would be a good thing for emerging economies, which could export more to the US.

However, the US economic recovery may not be that solid, and it remains unclear whether the Fed is comfortable enough to raise interest rates to curb rising inflation amid a prolonged slump in commodity prices.

China is grappling with a significant slowdown in economic growth, while European economic recovery might be dragged down by the influx of a great number of refugees.

From a holistic point of view, the global economy might see a double-dip recession, which will have a much more severe impact than a US rate hike.

How To Fight

I hung up on her. Our 30-minute battle exhausted me and I needed to retreat. Instead of a neutral corner, where a trainer urging me to re-enter the ring would tend to me, I dropped into the cushion of my lounge chair. My abrupt halt to our cell phone conversation didn't make me feel like a champ; instead, I felt flattened, as if I were an over-the-hill boxer.

I returned to the paused TV show I had been watching before the phone call. As the images on the screen moved from scene to scene, and characters' voices bounced from one to another, I realized I couldn't focus. So, I left my viewing chair and paced as I rehashed my recent fight.

First I cried at our mutual behavior. Then, I fumed. I built a case against my foe and layered it with past arguments. I found the pattern, and while the themes were not fresh, my response was new: I had fought back. With cell phone to my ear, I yelled at her. And while the hot exchange left me exhausted, I was glad I had held my ground, gone toe-to-toe with my tough opponent.

This experience spurred me to review my squabbling style, as well as the one I had witnessed in my childhood. I propped two pillows on my bed, stretched out, and let the file tape flow across my brain.

In my 2006 memoir,

"The Division Street Princess,"

I wrote this about my parents' quarrels: "Whenever I heard their arguments, I

d duck for cover, like a recruit frightened of battle. And although the two of them never came to blows and seemed to recuperate quickly, my wounds took longer to heal."

Forgive me for the marketing, but I just love that sentence. I believe it was this early experience that led me to the style I chose for my first marriage. I was determined to not repeat those painful scenes, so when I felt injured by my husband's actions, I chose silence. I sulked; complained to friends, let my children fight my battles -- anything to not engage. And so, during our 30-year-marriage, the two of us constructed a wall. Tiff-by-tiff, the bricks grew taller and more impenetrable with each year, until it toppled in divorce.

In comparison, my second marriage was a pleasure cruise. We sailed along -- watching the same TV programs, walking our dog, taking occasional vacations -- and on the rare instances we argued, it was always Tommy who said, "Let's not be mad at each other. Let's talk about it." A few words, maybe a tear from each of us, hugs, and then it was over.

I remember once, when my first husband was at our house -- gratefully, we had stayed friendly through the divorce and in the subsequent years, and Tommy enjoyed his company -- my second husband and I began to squabble. I can't remember what the issue was, but we tapped lightly, as if we were first-time kids in the ring.

"Why couldn't we have done that?" my first husband had said, as he watched Tommy and I

tussle, and then make up quickly.

He was wistful as he asked this, and at the time, I answered, "I have no idea." But I do: my parents' union had infiltrated that first marriage and successfully silenced me.

Was husband #1 jealous that I had landed in a stable second marriage, or was he wondering it could've been different if I had only learned how to fight?

It isn't as if he and I hadn't booked therapy appointments way back then, where each on our own time would spill our secrets, our unhappiness, and our frustrations. But somehow, those scholarly souls couldn't solve our problems, and so after our three-decade marriage and a six-year separation, we signed the divorce papers.

After my most recent clash with a dear one, I pondered how I had journeyed from watching on the sidelines in my childhood, to righteous silence in my first marriage, to simple taps in my second, and finally, to the loud-mouthed, hotheaded battler I had become. Was it age that had toughened me, a conviction I was the injured party, or a desire to see only what I wanted to see?

It's likely my opponent and I will take a few days to lick our wounds. We'll kvetch to friends about the other's stubbornness. Then hopefully, we'll edge our way back towards each other, and to love.

LVIT Position Sensors Boast Excellent Stroke-To-Body-Length Ratio

Alliance Sensors Group
December 9, 2016

The LZ-25 Series linear position sensors are contactless devices designed for use in factory automation or assembly machinery applications. They are available in nominal full-scale ranges from 50 mm to 900 mm (2 to 36 inches) with an overall length of about 38 mm (1.5 inches) longer than the linear range of the unit. The sensor has a 25.4 mm (1 inch) outside diameter aluminum or optional stainless steel body with a 1-m long radial exit cable for I/O connections. The 7.5 mm (0.295 inch) diameter through-bore of an LZ-25 provides clearance for its 6.35-mm-diameter moving rod.

We’re so excited about our next message series at the Elevate rally services (starting next week).  I’ll be sowing some time into preparing for this on our trip to IHOP (the Kansas City International House of Prayer) this week.  About 11 of us are going to seek God going into the new school year.  Pray for us while we’re there!

Many students are confused about where they are headed. Their life seems cluttered and chaotic when they take a step back. They want to understand God’s plan and purpose for their life, but don’t know how to grab hold of it. They want to uncover their God-given strengths and use them for His fame, but don’t know where to begin.

The first step in the right direction is for you to know who you are. You are in God’s family — created by Him with your own unique heart, abilities, personality, and spiritual gifts. God brought all of those elements together in you so that you can serve Him and the world in your own unique way.

Within this message series, we’ll discover together the place where your God-given passions and strengths intersect. You’ll find the way that you’re specifically designed to serve. You’ll learn more about your…

* Spiritual Gifts
* Heart
* Abilities
* Personality
* Experiences

Through understanding each of these areas in your life, you’ll begin to see who you are and how you’re designed to serve. You’ll stop serving because that’s what you’re “supposed” to do, and start serving from the depths of your heart and soul because it’s what you were created to do.

    Mood: so volcanic I've got yellowstone worried

    When all is silent
    'cept the air, hot
    and violent
    redolent with noxious
    chemical odor,
    then is the time
    to peek over your
    bony shoulder
    and watch with starry eyes
    as explosive ash
    and careless gods
    consume the skies.

Martha and Joey are the sweetest couple ever!  They live all the way out in Bristol, VA.  And the fun thing about Bristol is that it splits the states of Virginia and Tennessee.  There is a sign that crosses State Street that shows the dividing line. How cool is that!?  It was pretty much like A Walk to Remember when Landon crosses off one of Jamie's bucket list items off by standing in two places at once.  WATCH THAT CLIP HERE.  If only there wasn't traffic and we were really able to do that. haha!
We (Justin and I) filmed one of Martha's best friend's Chrysler Museum wedding last year and we connected through that!  (Hi Lauren!)    Bristol is a long way from Virginia Beach, but we just so happened to have a Family Reunion in the western part of Virginia that allowed us to shoot in a new location!  We loved our time in Bristol!  Martha and Joey showed us around their cozy little town and took us to South Holston Dam which was an incredible view to end the session with! I love it when things just WORK OUT!  Justin and I can't wait to photograph and film their wedding this fall at Gaie Lea in Staunton, VA!
