Shuttle SN25P review: Shuttle SN25P
The bare-bones Shuttle SN25P PC provides a strong foundation for building a midrange, small-form-factor PC, but the overly complicated CPU fan and heat-sink design might annoy you at certain points during installation.
The Shuttle SN25P features a relatively straightforward design for a SFF system. The removable drive cage gives you room for one optical drive and up to two hard drives. An 8-in-1 media card reader is included with the kit. Underneath the drive cage is the CPU heat sink, the fan, and a plastic shroud for funneling hot air away from the chip. The cooling hardware is sufficient, but in order to actually install the CPU, you have to remove all three parts. It proves to be a difficult process because the plastic shroud that directs airflow requires brute force to remove, increasing the risk that you'll break off one of the little tabs or posts that secure it to the system. At least the internal cables are generally well routed, making it easy to connect your hardware and ensuring clear airflow through the system.
The SN25P comes with Shuttle's own FN25 Socket 939 motherboard. Built to Shuttle's own specifications, the motherboard has support for one x16 PCI Express graphics card and a separate x1 PCI Express expansion card. You also get two memory slots, so it would pay to know how much memory you'll want from the start, because in order to upgrade after installing your first pair, you'll need to get rid of at least one original memory stick. This sort of limited expansion, however, is typical of all SFF systems. The motherboard lessens the need for expansion by including an integrated Gigabit network adapter and an onboard audio chip that gives you eight-channel analog output, as well as a separate digital out.

Do Academy Students Perceive Discipline Differently with Male and Female Teachers?
December 4, 2019
Discipline in school and students’ perceptions towards it has evolved throughout the centuries from enforcing corporal punishment to suspensions, expulsions, and simple lectures. For instance, during the 2011-2012 school year for U.S. public schools, 3.45 million students were suspended out-of-school and 130,000 were expelled (according to the U.S. Department of Education).
I honestly think female teachers are way more strict than male teachers and that's all i got in this fall semester, ugh.
— Anousha Khan (@Anoushae_) August 30, 2019
At the Academy, however, very few students receive detentions or suspensions and even fewer are expelled. Yet, the question many fail to ask is who is giving out these punishments, specifically which gender.
Eva Schillinger (’22) says, “There are a lot more female teachers which means their are a lot more stricter female teachers, so that’s why I think most of the punishments come from female teachers. I don’t know if that’s because of gender.”
However, according to a study done by John Tierney from The Atlantic, there is a distinct difference between the student to teacher and teacher to student dynamic. He conducted a small survey of 46 of his former students from an all-girls private school near Boston. A recurring topic that emerged from the respondents was that female students respect their female teachers more because “their female teachers commanded more student respect because they were stricter, more demanding, more focused in class, less likely to be nudged off topic, etc.”
But, this begs the question: if students feel this way, how do the teachers feel? Do female teachers recognize or feel as though they can be stricter when teaching their same gender, or do not?
High School Social Studies Teacher Dana Nazaretian, who has taught both boys and girls, says, “I taught in the middle school, and if you had a behavioral problem, it was gonna be in the middle school. I felt like I was evenly the authoritarian for both those genders. I don’t think it makes a difference for me personally as a teacher, but I could see how maybe the girls could interpret that it might be different in high school with all-girls.”
The perils of being a male teacher at an all-girls school http://t.co/ea9RSF0qHn
— The Atlantic (@TheAtlantic) March 28, 2013
Male teachers, on the other hand, may appear less intimidating in the classroom as they make jokes and, therefore, create a laid-back atmosphere. To state again, there is a different relationship between male teachers and female students especially at the Academy where there are six male teachers compared to 31 female teachers.
One of Tierney’s former students explains this further stating, “I think we tended to become more comfortable around the male teachers because they seemed more laid back than many of the female teachers. I think we also believed we could get away with more (extending deadlines, delaying a test) with the male teachers compared with the female teachers, who wouldn’t put up with it.”
Several students at the Academy, as a result, do not take male discipline seriously because of the persona and atmosphere they have created and thus feel they can get away with more as Lane Hearn (’22) explains, who, to note, currently has Theology Teachers Felix Kalinowski and Brian Butterly as teachers.
She says, “I think the male teachers are definitely more relaxed. I think they are less strict with the girls because it’s an all-girls school. I think the students listen to the male teachers, but they give a lot more respect to the female teachers. I just feel like it’s because they’re stricter, and we know we can’t get away with as much stuff. The male teachers don’t get as upset when you do something wrong, and they are more forgiving.”
I feel like I’m an equal opportunity offender.
In turn, being a male teacher at an all-girls school does affect the way in which they discipline their students. Even simply yelling at the class and, therefore, steering from their easy-going and friendly attitude is a struggle.
Kalinowski says, “For a male teacher to raise his voice all of a sudden scares the girls. I think one of the factors is that we’re at an all-girls school. There is a different relationship between, for example, dad and daughter, and male teachers and females. When I’m talking to the girls, I have to understand that I’m bigger, and I represent males. Sometimes males are seen as overbearing and ‘whatnot’ so I have to show that, yes, we are loving, we are endearing, and we are nurturing.”
However, the question remains — how do male teachers at an all-girls school find balance between being “funny” and “strict” while feeling that they are still getting respect?
Spanish Teacher Jose Ruano says, “I always punish with a smile. It keeps a balance in the class between being really strict and having ‘fun.’ I think it’s important to establish this environment to make the kids feel comfortable in my class, so they don’t come in fearing me because I’m a male and thinking I’m going to start screaming and yelling. I don’t normally scream and yell unless I really have to.”
On the other hand, students need to also respect their teachers regardless of gender or his or her teaching style. “I think that girls definitely do take advantage of the male teachers just because they know that they’re not going to be reprimanded as much as they would if it was a female teacher. I also think girls let it take effect on their grades because they won’t be paying attention in class. However, I think it really depends on the girl because not every single girl will take advantage of a male teacher. I think it just all lays in the student. If the students wants to do their work and do well in the class, then they should pay attention to any teacher for that matter,” says Alexa Groteke (’21).

We�re just days away from the launch of the brand new Aston Martin Vantage and the latest promo video reveals the first solid specs of the new British sports car.
Featuring Red Bull F1 driver Max Verstappen, Aston Martin�s latest video shows a camouflaged prototype of the new Vantage being driven on track and the company�s Dynamics Chief Engineer Matt Becker spilling the beans on the engine�s output: over 500hp and 505lb-ft (685Nm) of torque from the AMG-sourced 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8.
In comparison, the same V8 engine produces 503hp and 513lb-ft (695Nm) of torque in the DB11. Becker continued saying that the dry weight of the new Vantage is 1,530kg (3,373lbs), making it slightly lighter than the outgoing model and close to 200kg lighter than the DB11 with the V12 engine.
The all-new Vantage also has a shorter by 100mm wheelbase than the DB11 in order to offer a more fun driving experience, with Verstappen praising its playful nature on the track.
Aston Martin will finally pull the wraps off the new Vantage on November 21, so watch this space.

Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of bubonic and pneumonic plague, is an extremely virulent bacterium but there are currently no approved vaccines for protection against this organism. Plants represent an economical and safer alternative to fermentation-based expression systems for the production of therapeutic proteins. The recombinant plague vaccine candidates produced in plants are based on the two most immunogenic antigens of Y. pestis: the fraction-1 capsular antigen (F1) and the low calcium response virulent antigen (V) either in combination or as a fusion protein (F1-V). These antigens have been expressed in plants using all three known possible strategies: nuclear transformation, chloroplast transformation and plant-virus-based expression vectors. These plant-derived plague vaccine candidates were successfully tested in animal models using parenteral, oral, or prime/boost immunization regimens. This review focuses on the recent research accomplishments towards the development of safe and effective pneumonic and bubonic plague vaccines using plants as bioreactors.

To paraphrase President John F. Kennedy in his famous moon speech: We do this and the other things not because they are easy, but because they are hard. And what makes them hard? When it comes to opening the frontier of space — we do. The biggest challenge is not the vacuum, not the radiation, not the gravity, not the vast distances. It is us. For we can overcome each of those, but can we overcome ourselves? Can we get past our positions so we can work together to throw open the frontier for the people of Earth?
NASA is clear about its long-term goal of human spaceflight—sending humans to Mars—but has been vague about the next steps beyond low Earth orbit to achieve that goal. Jeff Foust reports how NASA, working with companies and potential international partners, is starting to look at a series of missions in cislunar space in the 2020s as those next steps.
Engineers at Northrop Grumman have been exploring the possibility of creating an inflatable aircraft that could travel to Venus for more than two years, and now it appears the company could soon begin work on an actual prototype of the vehicle.
Much has been written about the value of helium-3 for non-radiation producing energy production and states around the world are quietly positioning themselves to secure it from the Moon. In fact, most national space programs citing Mars as the primary objective conveniently include the Moon as a stepping stone, including NASA’s Space Launch System with its 130 tons payload capacity, which will be the biggest heavy lift rocket ever built. If one state secures helium-3 exclusively, then it will become the new global hegemon.
China is very close to a breakthrough in energy production from helium-3 and the goals of its space program inspired by the visionary Professor Ouyang Ziyuan are closely, if not directly, related to securing helium-3 as a geostrategic national priority.
A passion for exploration is the fuel to an innovative economy, says astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson.
In an interview with CNBC's On the Money, the host of the new National Geographic Channel show StarTalk — based on Tyson's podcast and Sirius XM radio show of the same name — described the dynamic implications of scientific discovery.
"You have to innovate," said Tyson, arguably the most famous astrophysicist in America. When "an engineer comes out with a new patent to take you to a place — intellectually, physically … that has never been reached before, those become the engines of tomorrow's economy."
WASHINGTON — Legislation that one congressman plans to introduce in the near future would make space settlement a national goal and require NASA to take action to support it.
The Space Exploration, Development, and Settlement Act of 2015, drafted by Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.), would mark the second time in the last three decades that Congress has directed NASA to support efforts for permanent human settlements beyond Earth orbit.
A version of the bill circulated in the space advocacy community would amend the National Aeronautics and Space Act, the “organic” legislation that created NASA in 1958, to include space settlement among national space policy goals and objectives.
There remains interest in carrying out human missions to the surface of the Moon, even though that is not an official goal of the present administration. Anthony Young discusses how a commercial model for lunar transportation, based on the COTS and commercial crew programs, might be the most cost-effective, and perhaps the only, way to carry out such missions.
The BEAM was developed by Bigelow Aerospace, a 16-year-old Las Vegas company whose founder, Robert Bigelow, has made a fortune in real-estate and hotel development. Bigelow has pledged $500 million of his own fortune to developing low-cost, long-term habitats for low-Earth-orbit (LEO) missions and those beyond LEO to the moon and Mars.
SpaceX head Elon Musk has revealed plans to utilize the Falcon Heavy and Dragon 2 vehicles for science missions throughout the solar system. Citing Dragon 2’s capability as a “science delivery platform”, Mr. Musk claimed the crew-capable spacecraft could also be tasked with landing scientific payloads at destinations ranging from the Moon and Mars – and even as far afield as Europa.

AGNI and its partners are ready to transform the global economy of energy production through innovative clean energy technology.
Anthropocene, our planet’s current geological age, in which human activity has become the dominant influence on climate and environment.
Radioactive waste is presently a by-product of both nuclear fission and the production of nuclear weapons.
There is currently no way to break down these elements and the waste sits in holding tanks, some of which leak into the environment.
In the US, the average annual CO2 emissions per person is 20 metric tons.
Semi trucks contributed 12.5 percent of the U.S.’s total 6,673 million metric tons of emissions in 2013.
CO2 GREENHOUSE GAS
Populations around the world are showing more CO2e related illnesses.
Rapid climate change is creating landslides, rising oceans, and other planetary disasters.
Current energy production is threatening our global ecosystems, and our planet’s survival depends on sustainable clean energy.
AGNI is a transformative beam-to-target fusion power source of high energy neutrons.
REMEDIATING RADIOACTIVE WASTE
Our fusion technology generates billions of high energy neutrons containing up to 10 times the amount of energy used to create them.
The heat created can be used to create steam to power turbines.
GENERATING CLEAN ELECTRICITY
High energy neutrons are essential in the rapid transmutation of radioactive waste.
Vitrified radioactive waste is used as a fuel source, and is broken down over time to harmless lead.
AGNI has designed applications for both rooftop and portable carbon dioxide capture.

To mark the release of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, a whole new collection of 3 and 3/4 figures were released under the title of Episode I. At the time, this line was unique from other lines in that it covered only the characters and droids from the new movie. As a prelude to the film, and to increase interest, two preview items were made available in 1998. The first was a mail-away promotion for Jedi Master Mace Windu. The other item was a large scale Battle Droid on a STAP, which was available at retail and labeled "Episode I coming in 1999".
The full initial waves of figures, vehicles, and beasts were released at midnight, May 3rd, 1999. The line introduced a new level of paint and sculpture detail, as well as increased points of articulation on select figures. A new pack-in feature was also included called COMMTech chips, these chips also doubled as stands for the figures and, with the addition of a separately sold chip reader, enabled figures to electronically play phrases from the film. This feature was also included in the last small wave of Power of the Force figures produced at the time. In some E.U. and Asian countries these COMMTech chips were not made available due to health and safety concerns or simple disinterest in the new technology. In this case, Hasbro packaged either a bonus battle droid or pit droid with the figure. In the UK the name COMMTech was renamed COMMTalk due to licensing issues.

As the country grapples with the second wave of Covid-19, the best plan is to have no plan and sit at home. While we wait for Covid-19 cases to drop, let's marvel at various unique species on Earth as Sir David Attenborough takes us on a fascinating journey in the Netflix documentary Life in Colour. Apart from this, another documentary, Searching for Sheela, based on the controversial life of Ma Anand Sheela, is also streaming on Netflix.
So take notes and get ready to experience entertainment this weekend with the shows listed below.
Searching For Sheela
If you are interested in knowing about the life of the most controversial spiritual guru Osho and his close aide, Ma Anand Sheela, then Netflix's new documentary Searching For Sheela is where your search ends. The documentary chronicles Ma Anand Sheela returning to India after 34 years of exile. Searching for Sheela is an intimate look into her journey across India, observing the rebranding of her as a pop-culture icon, with audiences unable to decide if they deem her a "criminal" or remain in awe of her sassy secretary days.
Life in Colour
Our beloved Sir David Attenborough is back with another fascinating documentary on different species on the planet. In this Netflix documentary, David will tell us about different colours that define different moods of various species. It started streaming on April 22.
Shadow and Bone
Shadow and Bone is based on Leigh Bardugo’s fantasy-adventure novel of the same name. The story follows Alina Starkov, a young soldier from the war-torn kingdom of Ravka. She unexpectedly uncovers a power that may be her country’s only hope. As she starts to hone it, she is recruited to train with an elite army of magical beings. Soon, she has to fight dangerous forces. The series will release on Netflix on April 23.
Mare of Easttown
Mare of Easttown stars Kate Winslet in the role of Mare Sheehan, a small-town Pennsylvania detective who investigates a local murder as life crumbles around her. Directed by Craig Zobel, the seven-part limited series is an exploration into the dark side of a close community and an authentic examination of how family and past tragedies can define our present. The series is written by Brad Ingelsby, who earlier wrote The Way Back. Mare of Easttown is streaming on Disney+Hotstar.
Main Hero Boll Raha Hu
Main Hero Boll Raha Hu is yet another gangster drama starring Parth Samthaan and Patralekhaa. Samthaan plays Nawab, who witnesses a monumental rise from a common boy to Bombay's fiercest gangster in the 90s. But like any gangster story, Nawab falls in love with Laila (played by Patralekhaa), a famous actor, and decides to give everything up and cross his superiors, if he has to, to be with her. The series shows Nawab's fight against his mentor, Lala, who betrays him and puts him at the mercy of the cops as well as the city's underworld kingpin, Mastan.
His Storyy brings out the stigmas in urban Indian society. The story follows a happily married couple who love their kids.

The exterior of your home sets the tone for what lies within, and an inviting curb appeal leaves a lasting impression on guests and passersby. Landscaping plays a pivotal role in creating an attractive and welcoming outdoor space that complements your home’s architecture. From a well-manicured lawn to thoughtfully designed plantings, there are numerous landscaping ideas to enhance your curb appeal. In this blog, we’ll explore some popular questions and share inspiring landscaping ideas to elevate your home’s first impression.
The entrance of your home is the focal point of curb appeal. Frame your front door with a path of colorful flowers or a neatly trimmed hedge. Install stylish lighting fixtures to illuminate the path, creating an inviting ambiance. Consider adding a welcoming bench or a decorative planter to complete the look.
If you prefer a low-maintenance landscape, opt for native plants and drought-resistant varieties that thrive in your climate. Incorporate mulch or decorative rocks to suppress weeds and retain moisture. Consider installing an automated irrigation system to ensure proper watering without daily effort.
Hardscaping elements, such as stone pathways, retaining walls, or a charming patio, can add visual interest and structure to your landscape. Blend natural stone with lush greenery for a harmonious balance between hardscape and softscape.
Create a sense of privacy and tranquility by incorporating tall hedges, privacy screens, or trellises covered with climbing vines. Strategically placed shrubs and trees can also act as natural barriers, shielding your outdoor space from prying eyes.
To achieve year-round color, choose a mix of plants that bloom at different times throughout the year. Consider planting evergreen shrubs or ornamental grasses to provide structure and color during the colder months. Flowering perennials can add bursts of color during the spring and summer seasons.
In small yards, maximize vertical space by using hanging planters, wall-mounted shelves, or tiered plant stands. Create the illusion of space by incorporating mirrors or reflective surfaces. Opt for compact varieties of plants and utilize raised beds or vertical gardens for planting.
Curb appeal doesn’t have to break the bank. Start by tidying up the existing landscape, pruning overgrown plants, and weeding. Plant perennials and divide them over time to multiply your garden without additional expenses. DIY projects like building a simple stone path or creating a small seating area can also add charm without a hefty price tag.
Implement eco-friendly landscaping practices by conserving water through rainwater harvesting or using drought-tolerant plants. Incorporate native plants to support local wildlife and minimize the need for chemical pesticides. Compost yard waste to enrich the soil naturally.
Enhancing your curb appeal with creative landscaping ideas is a rewarding endeavor that transforms your home’s exterior into a captivating oasis. From creating a stunning entrance to incorporating low-maintenance and eco-friendly elements, there are countless ways to elevate your home’s first impression. Whether you have a small budget or ample space, thoughtful landscaping can make a significant difference in creating an outdoor space that welcomes visitors and brings you joy every time you return home. So, let your imagination flourish and embark on a landscaping journey that showcases the beauty of your home to the world!

A month after its ballyhooed but entirely ceremonial opening, PortMiami’s billion-dollar tunnel has yet to carry a single vehicle under Biscayne Bay — and it may be several more weeks before the tunnel is ready for real traffic, officials say.
Leaky pipes and other matters of literal nuts and bolts have prevented the tunnel from getting the necessary permits to open. The tunnel contractor is scheduled to give its latest progress report to state and local transportation officials Wednesday, but even the most optimistic no longer expect it to open before July.
“The whole project team is disappointed,” conceded Gus Pego, the senior Florida Department of Transportation official in Miami-Dade County. “The contract called for it to be done May 19, and we were fully expecting to open it then.”
The failure to deliver the tunnel has already cost the contractor, the Paris-based Bouygues, more than $3 million in fines — a sum that grows $115,000 each day. The fines go to the private consortium MAT Concessionaire, which will operate the tunnel when it opens.
Meanwhile, the state of Florida hasn’t started writing checks for the $34 million annual fee it will pay for public access to the tunnel. And the 16,000 vehicles the tunnel was expected to take off Miami’s downtown streets continue to clog the traffic grid.

How to revive tired skin instantly
Somedays, you wake up with a face that looks like you went into battle at night. Tired, weather-beaten and dull, screaming for an instant pick-me-up. At such a time, we know from experience, that you do not want to hear lectures about drinking water, eating healthy and other long-term remedies for good skin. On such days, here’s a cheat sheet to give your face that instant glow.
Ice, ice baby! Shock you skin into waking up with this tried and tested remedy. Splash ice water on your face or better still rub an ice cube over your face to instantly revive it.
Bread may be bad for your diet but as a skin revival cure, it’s up there with ice. Mash a slice of break with just enough milk to make it into a crumbly mixture. Use this as a face scrub and see the instant and dramatic change.
Do a spot of jogging or take a quick walk around the block. The spurge in blood circulation should give you a nice fresh glow.
Take the white of an egg and apply it on your face. Let dry and rinse as usual. Your skin will appear tighter and fresh.
Call the good, old dahi and besan face mask into service. This is an instant pick-me-up for your skin.

Good evening everyone!
This synopsis is a brief summary for the upcoming week.
I’m sure you’ve heard about peat, and repeat. Were looking at another shot of cold air again coming as far south as the Florida Peninsula. Based on current model runs, and MOS Output, I am expecting the coldest of the air to be in place on Wednesday (22nd) / Thursday (23rd) of the upcoming week. Once again, the majority of the U.S. will see below freezing minimum temperatures. Freezing temperatures will once again affect most of the Florida Panhandle with minimum morning temperatures forecast to be between 29F – 32F. Freezing temperatures could temporarily affect the northern 1/3 of the Florida Peninsula, and low temperatures around the Tampa Bay area hitting in the upper 30’s to 40F closer to the coast, and mid 30’s further inland. Thereafter, we should see temperatures begin to moderate somewhat, especially over the south and SE.
The GFS and ECMWF Global models as well as the NAM, are indicating a 992 mb low developing just offshore of the Tidewater area, and deepening to 992 mb east of the Cape Cod area. I will be watching this, and will post updated wind and wave maps, as well as projected snowfall accumulation from the GFS and NAM models.
My next update will most likely be on Tuesday afternoon to early evening.
On a side note, I have been thinking about taking some time off from the winter weather scene, in order to further research information regarding certain topics as far as the Indian Ocean Dipole, looking for analog years for the upcoming hurricane season, reviewing various seasons against the NAO index prior to the month of June, etc. Basically, performing a more in depth review of various seasons and parameters to see how these parameters may have affected busy and slow seasons.
Have a blessed evening!

For first time homebuyers, oil tank insurance may not appear to be at the top of the list. However, it’s something that one should highly consider if there is an oil tank on the property. Because many home heating oil tanks are often stored and buried underground, many homeowners are unable to detect the early signs of an oil tank leak.
An oil tank leak can occur when petroleum escapes through a small hole from the oil tank and potentially seeps into the soil around it. Leaks are typically caused by the corrosion that occurs between the steel tank and the natural movement of soil. To prevent liability loss, it’s important to have any oil tanks inspected and tested for leaks and properly maintained.
Homeowner Oil Tank Insurance Policies
Many New Jersey homeowner’s insurance companies have taken new approaches in the handling of underground and above ground oil tanks. Homeowner policies have made it so that a homeowner can be charged for having an oil tank on the property and will be unable to give first party coverage. Since oil tanks are being cracked down on in New Jersey, many homeowner policies will not cover anything regarding oil tanks. This is why it’s important to seek out insurance specifically for oil tanks to prevent liability issues.
Oil Tanks Versus Natural Gas
One benefit of obtaining oil tank insurance is that the homeowner can be covered if the oil tank fails and begins leaking. Homeowner policies do not cover leaky oil tanks and thousands of dollars could be ripped away from the homeowner’s pockets. Oil tank insurance can act as a security blanket for those in New Jersey who heat their homes with oil.
Instead of scrapping oil tanks because of possible leaks, one can take advantage of the many benefits oil tanks provide. The average gas furnace lasts only 11-14 years and can be quite costly when it needs to be replaced or fixed. On the other hand, oil tanks can last more than 30 years if they’re properly maintained. The efficiency of oil tanks is also much higher than the average gas appliance, bringing efficiency ratings between 83% and 95%.
Over the past two decades, there has been a lingering myth stating that heating oil is much more expensive than gas, which is simply not the case. Statistics show that out of the last 22 years, heating oil is less expensive than natural gas in most states. Oil is also a renewable fossil fuel and is also known as clean fuel. This option is far more eco-friendly than its gassy counterpart.
Oil Tank Maintenance
To help determine if you have an oil tank leak, you should call your heating oil company to conduct a tank or soil test. We are conveniently located in downtown Toms River and offer our customers around the clock 24/7 emergency service in case problems arise. If you are worried that your oil tank is leaking, contact your heating oil experts at Point Bay Fuel as soon as possible at 732-349-5059.

The Safest Place for Your Money
Where are you keeping your treasures? Do you find yourself worrying over your money and resources? Where should we place our financial security?
Let's explore this topic together in today's devotional.
"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal" — Matthew 6:19
One of my roles as a business coach and Biblical Entrepreneurship instructor is to assist kingdom business stewards generate a profit through their businesses while remaining true to their core convictions. As important as that is, it is equally important to know where to safeguard that profit without compromising those convictions. It does not make sense to work hard and generate a profit just to lose it through market failure or the dishonesty and greed of men.
In today's uncertain market environment with low return on Wall Street and corporate corruption, finding a safe place to preserve profit is not easy. I had the privilege of serving as the Chaplain of the NACFC, a national organization whose mission is to provide educational resources, fellowship support, and biblical standards for professional investment counsellors who seek to integrate Bible-based principles within their financial counselling practices. I also serve as a trustee for the Timothy Plan, the nation's leading biblical responsible family of mutual funds. In these roles and in serving as a business coach for a number of companies in the financial services arena, I'm always in the midst of discussions about identifying the best ways to assist individuals, especially Christians, preserve and grow the resources God has entrusted them with.
It is interesting that although we try very hard to ensure that individual's money is invested in companies that are consistent with Christian values while providing the best return possible, we still have not found one investment anywhere on earth that is both consistent with Christian values and totally safe from the possibility of loss and diminishing returns. Jesus, however, in Matthew 6:19-21, gives us insight on a place where we can put our treasure to ensure total safety.
"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal" Matthew 6:19-20.
Jesus warns us against putting our treasures anywhere in the earth realm. This is because no matter where on earth we put our treasure it cannot be safeguarded against market instability (moth and rust) or the greed and dishonesty of men (thieves). The question is, if we cannot preserve treasures anywhere on earth then where should we? Jesus instructs us to preserve our treasures in heaven. You see, in heaven there is no corruption, lying and cheating. There is no recession and market failure. In heaven your treasures will not only be safe from loss but they will yield the highest return possible.
Our prayer for you today is that God will grant you the faith to trust that your profits are better in His hands than in the hands of the wisest financial advisor or banker.
Reflection: Has this devotion strengthen your faith to trust God with your profits?

Carmageddon 2 kicks off Friday, Sept. 28 at 7 p.m. when crews will shut down ramps along the 405 freeway in Los Angeles. As part of the same project in July 2011, workers demolished the south side of Mulholland overpass on the 405 freeway.
Carmageddon 2 starts Friday night on the Westside.
Metro will close a 10-mile stretch of the 405 through Monday morning to demolish the north half of the Mulholland Bridge.
Metro project manager Mike Barbour said crews are already along the freeway with excavators, retaining walls, cranes and lights.
“They’re out there doing a little bit of prep work on the hillside, not much," he said. "They’ve been planning this for quite a while, so all their equipment is on-site.”
Metro is closing the northbound 405 between the 10 and 101 freeways and the southbound 405 between the 101 and Getty Center.
Barbour said construction work will begin at 7 p.m. when ramps start shutting down. At 10 p.m., freeway lanes will close gradually, leading to a complete freeway closure by midnight.

Love is tricky in Siddhartha. On one hand, Siddhartha’s worldly love for his son presents the most formidable challenge to his spiritual progression in the novel, so love is bad. On the other hand, it is only when Siddhartha is able to appreciate his love-pains as love for the entire world that he reaches enlightenment. Furthermore, once he reaches enlightenment, Siddhartha is best able to describe the experience as a profound feeling of love for everything around him. OK, we think we get it now – universal love is the end goal, while narrow, individualistic love is an obstacle to true enlightenment.
Siddhartha’s increasing ability to love over the course of the novel parallels and informs his growing spiritual awakening.

Poker is a game of strategy and chance that has become one of the most popular games in the world. It is played in glitzy casinos, seedy dives and even on the internet. There are many different strategies that can be used to win, but the basics of the game are simple. A table, a deck of cards and some opponents are all that is needed to play poker. The game can be extremely challenging, but it is also a lot of fun.
Learning how to read other players is a big part of poker. While there are subtle physical tells in poker (like scratching the nose or playing nervously with chips), most of a good read is based on patterns. For instance, if a player is betting all the time then chances are they are holding some pretty weak cards. This is the basic logic behind reading other players and it can be applied to any situation in poker.
Another important skill to learn is calculating odds and probabilities. This will help you when deciding whether to call, raise or fold. When you are playing in early position, this will be particularly important. You want to be able to assess the strength of your opponent’s hands quickly and accurately. If you don’t have this ability, you will lose a lot of money in the long run.
It is also important to know the rules of the game. This includes what cards make up the best hand, how many cards are in a straight, a flush and so on. This knowledge will make it easier for you to place bets that are accurate and maximize your winning potential.
A full house is a combination of three matching cards of the same rank and two unmatched cards. A straight is five consecutive cards of the same suit. A flush is four matching cards of the same rank. And a pair is two matching cards of the same rank and an unmatched card.
The first round of betting in a poker game is called the flop. After the first round of betting the dealer will put three community cards on the table that anyone can use. Then there is another round of betting and you can raise or fold your hand.
In the final round of betting, known as the river, the dealer will put a fifth community card on the board that everyone can use. This is the last opportunity to raise or fold your hand and the player with the highest poker hand wins the pot.
It is important to have a good poker strategy and stick to it no matter what. If you have a strong plan in place then you will be able to beat the competition more often. A good poker strategy will also help you in other areas of life, especially if you are looking to move up in the business world. It will teach you to be a better decision-maker and more proficient at mental arithmetic.

Mechanical testing of viscoelastic biomaterials is of critical importance in biomedical engineering, enabling basic research into the role of the extracellular matrix, investigatory and diagnostic testing of tissues and biofluids, and the development and characterization of tissue engineered therapeutics. Conventional material testing approaches used for soft biomaterials generally require force application through direct contact with a sample, leading to potential contamination and damage, and thereby limiting these approaches to end-point measurements. To overcome these limitations, we have developed a new measurement technique, Resonant Acoustic Rheometry (RAR), which enables high-throughput, quantitative, and non-contact viscoelastic characterization of biomaterials, soft tissues, and biological fluids.
RAR uses ultrasonic pulses to both generate microscale perturbations and measure the resulting resonant oscillations at the surface of soft materials using standard labware. Resonant oscillatory properties obtained from the frequency spectra of the surface oscillations, including the resonant frequency and the damping coefficient, are used to quantify material properties such as shear modulus, shear viscosity, and surface tension in both viscoelastic solids and liquids.
We developed a prototype RAR system and tested it on a range of soft biomaterials, with shear moduli ranging from under 100 Pa to over 50 kPa, including fibrin, gelatin, and polyethylene glycol (PEG). Shear moduli measured using RAR were validated both computationally using finite element analysis and experimentally using conventional shear rheometry, with excellent linear correlation in measured elasticity between techniques (R2 > 0.95). By performing parallel RAR experiments using microwells of different sizes, we verified that resonant oscillatory behaviors could be used to quantify the intrinsic viscoelastic properties of a material. We also demonstrated the rapid, non-contact monitoring of changes in material properties over a variety of temporal scales, ranging from processes occurring on the order of milliseconds to those occurring over hours and days. High temporal resolution RAR measurements, with sampling intervals as low as 0.2 seconds, were used to characterize the gelation process. Characteristic features of the resonant surface waves during phase transition were applied to identify the gel point for various hydrogels. High sample throughput was demonstrated by performing longitudinal RAR testing to explore the impact of hydrogel polymer and crosslinker concentration on both reaction kinetics and final mechanical properties in full factorial experiments consisting of over 15,000 unique measurements. We were able to identify individual effects of design parameters as well as interactions that led to unexpected mechanical properties, demonstrating the importance of combinatorial methods and high-throughput mechanical characterization in material design.
These studies demonstrate that RAR can rapidly and accurately assess the mechanical properties of soft viscoelastic biomaterials. The measurements generated are analogous to those produced using conventional mechanical testing, and RAR is further capable of longitudinal viscoelastic studies over time. RAR applies automation in both data collection and analysis, allowing high throughput measurement of an array of samples without contact or the need for manual intervention. Furthermore, RAR uses standard microwell plates, which simplifies sample preparation and handling. The viscoelastic properties of soft biomaterials are relevant in a wide range of applications, including for clinical diagnostic assays and the development of hydrogel materials for regenerative medicine. RAR represents a fast, accurate, and cost-effective method for materials characterization in these applications.
