The results are expected to have a profound impact on our understanding of comparisons between modern and classical canonical experiments, and the largest volume of direct numerical simulation (DNS) data in the literature (i.e., channel flows). Insights will enable the development of better simulation models and contribute to a scientific database on turbulent flows.
Instantaneous realization of the streamwise velocity field in the AR=10 case at Re_tau=180. Flow is from bottom to top, and the four walls have been removed to allow better visualization. Note that the simulation captures the near-wall streaks on the four walls, and the interaction of ejection events from top-bottom and side walls at the corner.

Mardi Gras 2010
We were delighted be part of Cardiff Mardi Gras once again this year – the annual celebration of diversity with a mission to change attitudes and increase understanding of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) communities.It was held held at Cooper’s Field, Cardiff on Saturday 4 September. Our Outreach Bus was staffed by our LBGT Staff Network, OUT-NAW, and was visited by more people again this year. We were extremely grateful to those who took time to answer our questionnaire about our engagement with the LGBT community and for views on the best ways of communicating with people about the Assembly elections and the referendum on the Assembly’s powers in 2011.We’re analysing all your answers right now and they are an invaluable contribution to our communication planning for 2011. A number of people also came along for a chat on how best to contact their Assembly Members, the Equality of Opportunity Committee, to discuss our work more generally or to meet the Presiding Officer, Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas, who spent a considerable amount of time meeting visitors and enjoying, as we all did, the lively atmosphere on the field.It was, indeed, a day to celebrate diversity in Wales.

Being in Rotary is not a part in our life. It’s our life
It was a great feeling when you have the opportunity to wear rotary logo on your shirt. It’s time to take responsibility on your shoulders to serve your community.
When I joined rotaract movement way back in 2024, I never realized that I will represent RI Dist. 3230 as a goodwill ambassador to become a Member of the GSE Team to RI Dist 1880, North Bavaria & Saxony, Germany, during May /Jun. 2013
We the GSE team Sasi, Sharanya, Soundarya and myself Dinesh headed by Rtn. Sabu Balagopal had many meetings to sketch ourselves from Jan to May 2013 before our departure to Germany. We discussed over mails, regular meetings, get together with Rtns, dist conference thought us how big is the opportunity for us and how should we prepare ourselves to take our 3230 brand to fly high with colors.
40 to 4
Departed from Chennai with 40 degree summer and landed in Leipzig via Frankfurt and cool 4 degree of Germany welcomed us. Wow how cool it was…
We received warm welcome from Albrecht Hartge, GSE chair of RI Dist 1880,Germany with his team. We enthusiastic 5 people was looking forward to our next 30 days. Yes we were much excited.
We experienced and learned many things in Germany starting from history. architecture, historical churches, museums, city visits etc.
We had good opportunity to visit World Headquarters of Audi where they hosted our Indian National flag to welcome us. Rotary power is great. We extended our visits to
Vocational Visits and Networking opportunities
•Berlin- Parliament, Indian Embassy,Charlie Point,Historic wall, Olympic Stadium etc.
•Hosted by TV stations, Radio channels. Our show in German O+TV (www.otv.de/ambergweiden-rotary-club-verbindet-kontinente-...)

•Meeting Mayor and deputy mayors
Home stays- The home away from home
One of the life time experience where sharing proud things about country, learning the new culture and family values of the hosts, late night dinner talks, going out like one family. Overall we never missed our Indian hospitality in Germany.
Rotaractors
As a rotaractor from our district I had good opportunities to visit all the rotaractors in host clubs, I have received invitation to speak in President elect training seminar(PETS) where I had the opportunites to share about our RI dist 3230 Rotaract council and I shared our flag with all the rotaract club members. They were very kind to us and interested to hear about our rotaract activities and they felt excited to hear our numbers 23000 rtrs.
1880 Dist conference, Culture and arts
We presented our 3230 GSE team in a grand manner where we showed about video of India and Tamilnadu and also we performed cultural activities of India with Vande Matharam song by Saranya and Soundarya followed by solo folk dance by Dinesh and karate performance by Sasi. Finally audience felt happy when we performed our group dance with Tamil folk, Bollywood and Hollywood where our team leader also joined in dance performance. On seeing this we received warm invitations from all the rotary clubs . We performed in 7 clubs
Rotary and team Spirit
We had good chance to show our sporting skills. Yes Sasi and me (Dinesh) participated in Dragon Boat Race as part of Rotary clubs of Erlangen Fundraising efforts and finished 2nd in one of the race. Rotary raised 24000 euros for community projects
Future after GSE
We had great time in Germany studying vocation, experiencing culture, learning professionalism etc. It will be a starting point to shape my future . GSE created a platform to think beyond our comfort zone, hard work, team work, communication, networking etc. I believe in sharing and learning and this journey never ends
Coming year I am planning to create strategy to work with our RI 3230 District rotaract council to strengthen our rotaract zone in city plus and upcountry where lot of young people like me longing for opportunities. They need a platform.. I am willing to provide that. Also will build up IT assistance, social networking, planning New generation projects with my Parent club RC of Gudiyattam
After the GSE experience I expanded my Sports for Development Projects to Serve Young People with curriculum like Life skills, Service Learning, Adolescent health, Physical recreation and social learning to reach 10000 kids in 2 years. This will be my next major project and I would like to joint with other rotary clubs to spread the word to reach the unreached
View to the southeast from Tennessee Point. Battery Townsley's two casemates are visible.
------------
After a pleasant day lawn bowling at the venerable SFLBC in Golden Gate Park, Claudia and I made our way out to the Marin Headlands through bumper-to-bumper Labor Day traffic. We were welcomed by a fantastic afternoon – hardly a trace of fog and a gentle sea breeze. From the Rodeo Beach parking lot we took a late day hike north along the coast. Instead of climbing up toward Battery Townsley and Wolf Ridge, our common route, we took the low road instead walking a bit less than a mile where the low trail ends due to steep bluffs. At the terminus we found Tennessee Point itself - a curious, flat, bare plateau perhaps 100 feet above the surf line.. Here Claudia paused to read while I flew the camera. I am curious about the history of this bare, flat patch. Surely it was once used for something.
I was generally interested in this area for several reasons. This is the seaward end of Wolf Ridge, a hillock that saw interesting activity in World War II. It is also just south of a major landslide area that has disrupted roads, base end stations, and other construction from previous military epochs. At some point I would like to photograph this slide so the day’s outing provided a scouting opportunity.
I was a little surprised to see how rugged the bluffs became between the trail’s end and Tennessee Valley, the next point of coastal access to the north. I was also delighted to find three base end stations snuggled into the low hillside just above the end of the trail. This KAP flight would also position the camera out in front of the twin Battery Townsley casemates thus affording a new view of that subject.
I flew the camera for an hour or so near sunset below a Sutton Flowforn 30. The breeze remained gentle and consistent – just enough to keep the lighter Canon EOS-M rig aloft. Every few minutes a flight of several Brown Pelicans would glide past our position on the bluff making elegant use of orographic lift and passing just a few dozen feet away. It was peaceful and quiet, a delightful time in this most scenic spot.
Walking back we chatted about our earlier encounter with a group of a half dozen folks at Battery Rathbone – McIndoe. They appeared to be a professional video crew flying a new DJI S1000 octocopter drone featuring retractable landing gear and a Zenmuse gimbal carrying a Panasonic GH3. This is a pretty fancy drone setup worth over ten grand at least. Its large 6S LiPo batteries will keep it aloft for 12 to 15 minutes. Lord knows what they were up to or whether they had permission (it is my understanding that drones are not allowed in the GGNRA). While I greatly admire the technology of this setup I think its cost and complexity (both technical and regulatory) would be a source of continuing anxiety. For me the kites seem so pleasantly simple in comparison. Granted I am shooting photographs and they must have been videographers.

5. Moyo Unaorandaranda Wakuja Nyumbani
Na Novo, Ufilipino
Jina langu ni Novo, na mimi natoka Ufilipino. Nimemfuata mama yangu katika imani yake katika Mungu tangu nilipokuwa mdogo, na ningeenda kusikiliza mahubiri kanisani na ndugu zangu. Ingawa nilikuwa nimemwamini Bwana kwa miaka mingi, nilihisi kuwa sikuwa nimepitia mabadiliko yoyote na kwamba nilikuwa sawa na mtu asiyeamini. Ndani ya moyo wangu nilikuwa nikifikiria kila wakati juu ya jinsi ya kuchuma pesa zaidi, na juu ya jinsi ya kushinda siku zangu katika raha na kufurahia maisha mazuri. Juu ya hiyo, pia ningeenda nje kunywa na marafiki wangu wakati wote, na punde nilipokuwa na pesa zozote zaidi ningeenda kucheza kamari. Nilijua kuwa kufanya mambo haya kulikinzana na mapenzi ya Bwana—mara nyingi ningemwomba Bwana na kukiri dhambi zangu, na ningeamua kwa dhati Kwake kwamba nitaacha tabia hizi mbaya na sitafanya dhambi tena kutoka siku hiyo kuendelea. Lakini kwa kubembeleza na kushawishi kwa marafiki wangu, singeweza kujidhibiti mwenyewe kasbisa. Na kwa hivyo ilikuwa kwamba nilizidi kuwa mpotovu, moyo wangu ulizidi kuwa mbali zaidi na Mungu, hakukuwa na ukweli wowote katika maombi yangu. Kila wiki ningesema sala chache rahisi ili nimalize tu. Wakati mwingine nilihisi kukata tamaa kwa kweli kwani nilijua kuwa Bwana atakaporudi Atamhukumu kila mtu kulingana na vitendo na tabia zake, na kisha kuamua iwapo angeenda mbinguni au chini kuzimu. Nilihisi kuwa nilikuwa mpotovu sana hata Mungu asingenisamehe tena. Baadaye nilifunga ndoa na nikapata watoto, na yote niliyofikiria ilikuwa ni mke wangu na watoto wangu. Nilikuwa nimesahau kabisa kuhusu imani yangu zamani. Ili kuwapa wanangu maisha bora na kutimiza hamu yangu ya kuwa tajiri, niliamua kwenda kufanya kazi ughabuni, ambayo ndiyo iliyonileta Taiwani. Baada ya kupata kazi bado sikufanya mabadiliko yoyote katika mtindo wa maisha. Katika wakati wangu wa burudani ningeenda na wafanyakazi wenzangu kunywa na kuimba karaoke, nikiishi maisha ya raha; kwa muda mrefu nilikuwa nimeisukuma imani yangu katika Mungu nyuma ya akili yangu.
Mnamo mwaka wa 2011, nilifanya kazi ya kutia weko vifaa katika kiwanda huko Taiwan. Siku moja mnamo 2012, mfanyakazi mwenzangu huko Taiwan aligundua kuwa nilikuwa Mkatoliki, kwa hivyo alinialika kwenda Misa katika kanisa lake. Jumapili moja asubuhi, alikuja kunichukua kutoka kiwandani na akanipeleka nyumbani kwa rafiki yake. Ilikuwa huko ndiko nilikokutana na Ndugu Yusufu. Aliniuliza, “Ndugu, je, unaamini katika kuja kwa pili kwa Bwana Yesu?” Nilisema kwamba niliamini. Kisha akaniuliza, “Je, unajua ni kazi gani ambayo Bwana Yesu atafanya Atakaporudi?” Nilimjibu, “Ninaamini kuwa Bwana Yesu atakaporudi, Ataketi kwenye kiti cheupe cha enzi na kuwahukumu wanadamu. Kila mtu atatoa hesabu ya dhambi zake akipiga magoti mbele ya kiti cha hukumu, na kisha Bwana ataamua ikiwa atakwenda mbinguni au chini kuzimu kutegemea na vitendo na matendo yake.” Ndugu Yusufu aliendelea kuniuliza, “Tukikwambia kwamba Bwana Yesu tayari amerejea na kwa sasa Anafanya kazi Yake ya kuhukumu ya siku za mwisho, na hivyo kutimiza unabii kwamba ‘lazima hukumu ianze katika nyumba ya Mungu,’ je, utaamini hii?” Nilishangaa sana nilipomsikia akisema hili. Niliwaza: “Je, Bwana Yesu tayari amerudi? Hili linawezekanaje? Sijaona kiti cheupe cha enzi kikitokea angani, na sijamwona Bwana akishuka juu ya wingu jeupe. Ilhali anasema kwamba Bwana amerudi kufanya kazi Yake ya hukumu, na hivyo kutimiza unabii kwamba ‘lazima hukumu ianze katika nyumba ya Mungu.’ Inaleta maana. Hekima ya Mungu ni isiyoeleweka kwa mwanadamu, kwa hivyo ni afadhali niendelee kutafuta.” Kisha nikamjibu, “Ndugu, siwezi kuthubutu kusema kama Bwana Yesu amerudi au hajarudi, kwa hivyo tafadhali shiriki nami kuhusu hili.” Kisha alipata vifungu kadhaa ndani ya Biblia kuhusu unabii wa kurudi kwa Bwana na kufanya Kwake kazi ya hukumu ambavyo alnisomea. Kwa mfano, kulikuwa na sura ya 4, aya ya 17 kwenye Waraka wa Kwanza wa Petro ambao unasema: “Kwa maana muda umekuja ambao lazima hukumu ianze katika nyumba ya Mungu.” Na pia sura ya 16, aya 12-13 katika Injili ya Yohana: “Bado ningali nayo mengi ya kuwaambieni, lakini hivi sasa hamwezi kuyavumilia. Hata hivyo, wakati yeye, Roho wa ukweli, atakapokuja, atawaongoza hadi kwenye ukweli wote: kwa maana hatazungumza juu yake mwenyewe; bali chochote atakachosikia, atakinena: na atawaonyesha mambo yajayo.” Ndugu Yusufu alisema hii “Roho wa ukweli” inarejelea kurudi kwa Bwana na kuonyesha Kwake ukweli na kufanya kazi Yake ya hukumu. Mungu wa siku za mwisho amerejea katika mwili kama Mwana wa Adamu. Kwa msingi wa kazi Yake ya ukombozi katika Enzi ya Neema, Anaonyesha ukweli na kufanya hatua ya kazi Yake ya hukumu ikianza na nyumba ya Mungu. Kwa ukweli, kazi hii ya hukumu ni kazi ya kutakasa kabisa na kumwokoa mwanadamu. Hii inatimiza hasa unabii wa Bwana Yesu: “Na iwapo mtu yeyote atayasikia maneno yangu, na asiyaamini, Mimi sitamhukumu: kwa kuwa mimi sikuja ili niihukumu dunia, bali kuiokoa dunia. Yeye ambaye ananikataa mimi, na hayakubali maneno yangu, ana yule ambaye anamhukumu: neno hilo ambalo nimelisema, ndilo hilo ambalo litamhukumu katika siku ya mwisho” (Yohana 12:47-48). “Kwa kuwa Baba hamhukumu mwanadamu yeyote, ila amekabidhi hukumu yote kwa Mwana…. Na yeye amempa mamlaka ya kuhukumu pia, kwa kuwa yeye ni Mwana wa Adamu” (Yohana 5:22-27). Nilisikiliza kwa makini ushirika wa ndugu huyo, na niliamini kwamba ujumbe huu wote ambao alikuwa akishiriki nami ulikuwa wa kweli kwa sababu ninaamini kwamba unabii wote wa Bwana lazima ukamilike, lazima utimie.
Baadaye, Ndugu Yusufu alinisomea vifungu viwili vya Maneno ya Mwenyezi Mungu katika “Kristo Hufanya Kazi ya Hukumu kwa Ukweli”: “Kazi ya hukumu ni kazi ya Mungu Mwenyewe, kwa hivyo lazima ifanywe na Mungu Mwenyewe kwa kawaida; haiwezi kufanywa na mwanadamu kwa niaba Yake. Kwa sababu hukumu ni kumshinda mwanadamu kupitia ukweli, hakuna shaka kuwa Mungu bado Anaonekana kama kiumbe aliyepata mwili kufanya kazi hii miongoni mwa wanadamu. Hiyo ni kumaanisha, wakati wa siku za mwisho, Kristo atautumia ukweli kuwafunza wanadamu duniani kote na kufanya ukweli wote ujulikane kwao. Hii ni kazi ya hukumu ya Mungu.” “Katika siku za mwisho, Kristo anatumia ukweli tofauti kumfunza mwanadamu, kufichua kiini cha mwanadamu, na kuchangua maneno na matendo yake. Maneno haya yanajumuisha ukweli mbalimbali, kama vile wajibu wa mwanadamu, jinsi mwanadamu anavyofaa kumtii Mungu, jinsi mwanadamu anavyopaswa kuwa mwaminifu kwa Mungu, jinsi mwanadamu anavyostahili kuishi kwa kudhihirisha ubinadamu wa kawaida, na pia hekima na tabia ya Mungu, na kadhalika. Maneno haya yote yanalenga nafsi ya mwanadamu na tabia yake potovu. Hasa, maneno hayo yanayofichua vile mwanadamu humkataa Mungu kwa dharau yanazungumzwa kuhusiana na vile mwanadamu alivyo mfano halisi wa Shetani na nguvu ya adui dhidi ya Mungu. Mungu anapofanya kazi Yake ya hukumu, Haiweki wazi asili ya mwanadamu kwa maneno machache tu; Anafunua, kushughulikia na kupogoa kwa muda mrefu. Mbinu hizi za ufunuo, kushughulika, na kupogoa haziwezi kubadilishwa na maneno ya kawaida, ila kwa ukweli ambao mwanadamu hana hata kidogo. Mbinu kama hizi pekee ndizo huchukuliwa kama hukumu; ni kwa kupitia kwa hukumu ya aina hii pekee ndio mwanadamu anaweza kutiishwa na kushawishiwa kabisa kujisalimisha kwa Mungu, na zaidi ya hayo kupata ufahamu kamili wa Mungu. Kile ambacho kazi ya hukumu humletea mwanadamu ni ufahamu wa uso halisi wa Mungu na ukweli kuhusu uasi wake mwenyewe. Kazi ya hukumu humruhusu mwanadamu kupata ufahamu zaidi wa mapenzi ya Mungu, wa makusudi ya kazi ya Mungu, na wa mafumbo yasiyoweza kueleweka kwa mwanadamu. Pia inamruhusu mwanadamu kutambua na kujua asili yake potovu na asili ya upotovu wake, na pia kugundua ubaya wa mwanadamu. Matokeo haya yote huletwa na kazi ya hukumu, kwa maana asili ya kazi ya aina hii hasa ni kazi ya kuweka wazi ukweli, njia, na uhai wa Mungu kwa wale wote walio na imani ndani Mwake. Kazi hii ni kazi ya hukumu inayofanywa na Mungu” (Neno Laonekana katika Mwili).
Baada ya kusoma maneno haya, Ndugu Yusufu alishiriki nami ukweli mwingi juu ya kazi ya Mungu ya hukumu ya siku za mwisho. Nilikuja kuelewa kuwa kazi ya Mungu ni ya vitendo sana na ni ya kawaida kabisa, kwamba kazi ya Mungu ya hukumu ya siku za mwisho sio kabisa kama nilivyokuwa nimefikiria. Nilikuwa nimewaza Mungu akiiweka meza kubwa katikati ya hewa, Mungu akiwa ameketi kwenye kiti kikuu cheupe cha enzi na wanadamu wote wakipiga magoti mbele Yake. Kisha Mungu angeorodhesha dhambi zetu moja baada ya nyingine ili kuamua ikiwa sisi ni wema au mbaya, na Angeamua ikiwa tungepanda kwenda mbinguni au kushuka chini kuzimu. Badala yake, Mungu amekuwa mwili na Amekuja ulimwenguni kuonyesha ukweli kwa njia ya vitendo, kuhukumu dhambi za mwanadamu, na kufunua ukweli wa upotovu wa mwanadamu na vile vile asili na kiini chake. Ndugu Yusufu aliendelea katika ushirika kutuambia kwamba tabia zetu za kishetani, kama vile kiburi chetu na kujithamini, ukora na ujanja wetu, na ubinafsi na na hali zetu za chini, lazima vyote vipitie hukumu ya Mungu kabla hatujatakaswa. Matokeo ya mwisho ya kazi ya Mungu ya hukumu ni ili tuweze kuona uchafu na upotovu wetu wenyewe, ubaya na uovu wetu, na tuone kiini chetu kinachompinga na kumsaliti Mungu, ili tujue ya kuwa tumepotoshwa sana na Shetani, kwamba tumejawa na tabia za kishetani, ya kwamba sisi ni mfano kamili wa Shetani, na kwamba tunapaswa kuangamia. Ni kwa njia hii tu ndiyo tunaweza kuja kujichukia na kujilaani, na kumwacha Shetani mara moja. Aidha, ni kwamba, ndani ya hukumu na kuadibu kwa maneno ya Mungu, tunaweza kuja kuijua tabia ya Mungu yenye haki, takatifu na isiyoweza kukosewa. Tunaweza basi kukuza moyo wa kumcha Mungu bila kujua, kamwe tusithubutu tena kutomtii na kumpinga Mungu kiholela, na kuweza kuitelekeza miili yetu, na tutende ukweli. Mara tu tabia zetu za maisha zinapopitia mabadiliko basi tutaweza kumtii na kumwabudu Mungu kweli. Na mara tu tutakapopata vipengele mbali mbali vya ukweli ulioonyeshwa na Mungu katika siku za mwisho, basi tutatakaswa kabisa na kuokolewa na Mungu, na kustahili kuletwa na Mungu katika ufalme Wake. Wale wanaokataa kukubali kazi ya Mungu ya hukumu ya siku za mwisho hawawezi kupata utakaso wa Mungu—mwishowe wanaweza tu kuondolewa na kazi ya Mungu, na watakuwa wamepoteza fursa ya kuokolewa na kuingia katika ufalme wa mbinguni. Kusikia ushirika wa Ndugu Yusufu, nilihisi kuwa kazi ya Mungu ya kumwokoa mwanadamu ni ya kweli sana na ni ya vitendo!
Nilifikiria kuhusu jinsi nilivyokuwa nimemwamini Bwana kwa miaka mingi na ingawa mara nyingi nilikiri dhambi zangu kwa Bwana na kutubu, ningeendelea kutenda dhambi, kusema uwongo, kudanganya, kuwa mkora na mjanja, na mara nyingi hata ningefichua tabia yangu ya kishetani yenye kujitakia makuu, kiburi na yenye kujidai. Nilikuwa daima naishi katika mzunguko wa dhambi na kukiri, kukiri na kutenda dhambi—nilikuwa nikiishi katika uchungu sana. Mungu sasa amekuja kufanya kazi Yake ya hukumu na utakaso ya siku za mwisho, na hii inahitajika sana na wanadamu potovu. Wale wanaomwamini Bwana na wamesamehewa dhambi zao bado wanahitaji utakaso wa kazi ya hukumu ya Mungu katika siku za mwisho. Biblia inasema, “Utakatifu, bila huu hakuna mwanadamu atakayemwona Bwana” (Waebrania 12:14). Bwana ni mtakatifu. Ikiwa tutasamehewa tu dhambi zetu, lakini asili yetu ya dhambi na tabia za kishetani havijatakaswa, basi wakati wowote bado tuna uwezo wa kutenda dhambi na kumpinga Mungu, wa kulalamika mara kwa mara au hata kumsaliti Mungu. Tunawezaje, sisi tuliojawa na unajisi na upotovu, kuwa wenye sifa za kutazama uso wa Bwana? Ni hapo tu ndipo nilihisi moyoni mwangu jinsi kazi ya Mungu ya hukumu katika siku za mwisho ni muhimu sana! Lingekuwa jambo lisilo la busara, lisilowezekana kama Bwana angekuja na kumchukua kila mtu angani kukutana naye kulingana na fikira na mawazo ya watu! Ndugu Yusufu kisha alishiriki nami uzoefu na ushuhuda wake wa jinsi alivyokubali hukumu na kuadibu kwa Mungu. Kwa kweli nilihisi kwamba ushirika wake ulikuwa na nuru na mwangaza wa Roho Mtakatifu. Kuusikiliza kulikuwa kwa kujenga maadili sana, na niliamini kwamba Bwana Yesu lazima kweli awe amerudi. Kwa hivyo niliamua kutafuta na kuichunguza kazi ya Mungu ya siku za mwisho ili nisikose nafasi yangu ya kukaribisha kuja kwa Bwana.
Baada ya hapo, Ndugu Yusufu alinipa nakala ya Neno Laonekana katika Mwili, na nilifurahia sana. Niliporudi kwenye bweni langu jioni hiyo, nilianza kusoma maneno ya Mungu na niliyasoma usiku kucha. Nilisoma maneno haya ya Mwenyezi Mungu: “Vinywa vyenu vimejaa maneno ya uongo na uchafu, usaliti na kiburi. Kamwe hamjawahi kunena maneno ya ukweli Kwangu, wala maneno matakatifu, wala maneno ya kunitii baada ya kulipitia neno Langu. Hatimaye, hii imani yenu ni ya aina gani? Nyoyo zenu zimejaa tamaa na mali, mawazo yenu yamejaa mali ya kilimwengu. Kila siku, mnafanya hesabu jinsi mtakavyofaidika kutoka Kwangu, mkihesabu kiasi cha mali na vitu vya kidunia mlivyopata kutoka Kwangu. Kila siku, mnangoja baraka zaidi ziwashukie ili muweze kufurahia, hata zaidi na vyema zaidi, vitu zaidi vya raha. Vile vilivyo katika mawazo yenu kila wakati si Mimi, wala ukweli utokao Kwangu, bali ni mume (mke), mwanao, bintiyo au mlacho na kuvaa, na vile mtakavyoburudika na starehe nzuri zaidi. Hata mlishindilie tumbo lenu kwa vyakula hadi pomoni, je, si nyinyi bado ni zaidi ya maiti tu? Hata muvike miili yenu ya nje kwa ufahari, si nyinyi bado ni maiti inayotembea isiyo na uhai? Mnafanya kazi kwa bidii kwa ajili ya tumbo lenu mpaka mnapotokwa na mvi, ilhali hakuna aliye tayari kuutoa unywele mmoja kwa ajili ya kazi Yangu. Mnasafiri kila mara, mnafanya kazi na kupiga bongo kwa ajili ya miili yenu, na kwa sababu ya watoto wenu, ilhali hakuna yeyote anayeshughulika wala kufikiria kuhusu mapenzi Yangu. Ni nini ambacho bado mnatarajia kufaidi kutoka Kwangu?” (“Wengi Wanaitwa, Lakini Wachache Wanachaguliwa” katika Neno Laonekana katika Mwili).
Kile ambacho maneno haya yalifunua kilikuwa hasa hali katika maisha yangu, na kilikuwa jinsi nilivyohisi kweli moyoni mwangu. Maneno hayo yalikuwa kama upanga wenye makali kuwili ambao ulikata moyo wangu uliokufa ganzi. Nilijua kuwa ni Mungu pekee anayeweza kuchunguza kina cha moyo wa mwanadamu, na ni Mungu pekee anayeweza kufunua ukweli wa upotovu wa wanadamu na kile kilichofichika ndani kabisa ya mwanadamu. Nilihisi kuwa maneno haya yalikuwa matamko ya Roho Mtakatifu, na yalikuwa sauti ya Mungu. Kutoka katika maneno ya Mungu, nilijua kuwa ingawa nilikuwa nimemwamini Bwana kwa miaka mingi na mara nyingi nilikiri na kutubu kwa Bwana, asili yangu ya dhambi na tabia ya kishetani ilikuwa haijatakaswa na haijabadilishwa kabisa. Nilikuwa nikitambua tu jina la Bwana, lakini hakukuwa na nafasi ya Bwana moyoni mwangu, wala sikujitumia au kumfanyia Bwana kazi Siku zote nilikuwa nimeshikwa katika jinsi ya kuchuma pesa zaidi, jinsi ya kuongeza raha zangu za mwili, na jinsi ningeweza kuifanya familia yangu ipate kuishi kwa ufanisi zaidi, kamwe sikujishughulisha na mapenzi ya Mungu. Hata nilijua kuwa nilisema uwongo na nilitenda dhambi mara nyingi lakini sikufikiria chochote kuhusu hili. Siku zote nilikuwa nimeamini kuwa Mungu ndiye Mungu mwenye upendo milele, mwenye huruma milele, na hata nikitenda dhambi, Angenisamehe dhambi zangu, Anirehemu na Anibariki. Ni baada tu ya kusoma matamko haya yaliyoonyeshwa na Mungu katika siku za mwisho ndipo niliona tabia ya Mungu yenye haki na takatifu, na nilijua kwamba tabia ya Mungu ni jambo ambalo hakuna mtu anayeweza kuikosea. Hukumu na kuadibu kwa maneno ya Mungu viliibua uchaji Kwake ndani yangu na niliomboleza mambo yangu ya zamani. Nilianguka kifudifudi mbele ya Mungu na nikalia sana: “Ee Mungu, nimekuasi, nimekudanganya na kukudharau kwa mambo mengi, na sistahili kuja mbele Yako. Yote ambayo nimefanya yanastahili adhabu tu. Ee Mungu, asante kwa kunipa nafasi ya kutubu na kuokolewa. Kuanzia sasa, nitafanya yote katika uwezo wangu kufuatilia ukweli, kutekeleza waibu wangu vizuri na kulipa mapenzi Yako.” Baada ya kuomba, nilifanya azimio langu kuwa thabiti: Lazima nikubali hukumu ya Mungu na nibadilishe maisha yangu ya kutenda dhambi na kukiri; lazima nisome maneno ya Mungu zaidi na kuyatafakari zaidi ili niweze kuelewa ukweli zaidi na kuwa na nguvu ya kuuacha mwili wangu, kutenda ukweli na kutimiza mapenzi ya Mungu.
Kuanzia wakati huo kuendelea, nilikichukua Neno Laonekana katika Mwili kazini ili niweze kusoma na kutafakari maneno ya Mungu wakati wa mapumziko yangu ya kazi. Kutoka katika maneno ya Mwenyezi Mungu, niliona jinsi tabia na mawazo yangu yalikuwa potovu na ya uasi. Baadaye, nilisoma maneno haya ya Mungu ambayo yanasema: “Unapaswa kuomba, hatua kwa hatua, kwa mujibu wa hali yako ya kweli na kile kinachotakiwa kufanywa na Roho Mtakatifu, na unapaswa kuwasiliana kwa karibu na Mungu kulingana na mapenzi ya Mungu na mahitaji Yake kwa mwanadamu. Unapoanza kufanya mazoezi ya maombi yako, kwanza peana moyo wako kwa Mungu. Usijaribu kufahamu mapenzi ya Mungu; jaribu tu kuzungumza maneno yaliyo ndani ya moyo wako kwa Mungu. Unapokuja mbele za Mungu, sema hivi: ‘Ee Mungu! Leo tu ndio natambua kuwa nilikuwa nikikuasi. Mimi kweli ni mpotovu na mwenye kustahili dharau. Awali, nilikuwa nikipoteza muda wangu; kuanzia leo nitaishi kwa ajili Yako, nitaishi kwa kudhihirisha maisha ya maana, na kuridhisha mapenzi Yako. Ningependa Roho Wako afanye kazi ndani yangu daima, na daima aniangaze na kunipa nuru, ili nipate kuwa na ushuhuda wenye nguvu na unaosikika mbele Zako, unaomruhusu Shetani kuuona utukufu Wako, ushuhuda Wako, na thibitisho la ushindi Wako ndani yetu.’ Wakati unapoomba kwa njia hii, moyo wako utawekwa huru kabisa, baada ya kuomba kwa njia hii, moyo wako utakuwa karibu na Mungu, na kwa kuomba hivi mara kwa mara, Roho Mtakatifu atafanya kazi ndani yako bila shaka” (“Kuhusu Desturi ya Sala” katika Neno Laonekana katika Mwili). Katika maneno ya Mungu, nilipata njia ya kutenda kutatua tabia yangu potovu, na nilianza kumwomba Mungu kwa dhati kwa moyo mkunjufu, nikimwambia Mungu juu ya tabia yangu potovu na kumwambia Mungu juu ya yale niliyotumainia kupata ndani ya moyo wangu. Nilimwomba aniongoze niweze kuishi kwa kufuata maneno Yake. Kupitia maombi ya aina hii, mara nyingi nilihisi kuwa Mungu alikuwa akiniongoza na kunipa nuru, na moyo wangu ulijawa na imani na nguvu. Sikuishi tena namna nilivyokuwa nimeishi hapo awali, wala sikutenda tena kulingana na fikira na mawazo potovu niliyokuwa nayo moyoni mwangu. Maisha yangu yalikuwa yamebadilika; hayakuwa tena maisha potovu ambayo nilikuwa nimeishi hapo awali ya kutenda dhambi na kukiri, lakini badala yake nilikuwa kweli naishi mbele za Mungu, na nilikuwa nimepata utunzaji na ulinzi wa Mungu.
Mnamo Julai 2014, nilirudi Ufilipino, na ni hapo tu ndipo nilipogundua kuwa Mungu alikuwa amewachagua ndugu wengi huko Ufilipino. Nilifurahia sana. Sasa ninashiriki maneno ya Mungu na ndugu kanisani, tunaishi maisha ya kanisa, na tunasaidiana na kuungana mkono. Sote tunafuatilia ukweli; tunatafuta kubadilisha tabia zetu na kuokolewa na Mungu. Pia tunakuwa na ushuhuda kwa kazi ya Mwenyezi Mungu ya siku za mwisho kwa watu wa nchi yetu na vile vile kwa wale wa nchi zingine ili wajue kuwa Bwana Yesu tayari amerudi na wanaweza kupata wokovu wa Mungu wa siku za mwisho kama sisi. Mshukuru Mwenyezi Mungu! Sasa ninaishi maisha yaliyojazwa na yenye furaha sana. Nimeondokana kabisa na aina ya maisha ambayo ni potovu, yaliyoharibika ambayo nilikuwa naishi hapo awali. Ni Mwenyezi Mungu ambaye ameniongoza kupata lengo na mwelekeo wa maisha yangu. Nahisi kuwa hii ndiyo njia pekee ya kuishi maisha yenye maana!

The Texas Stroll located on Belt Line, south of Bruton Rd (now Cartwright) in Mesquite Texas. Demolished.
This one time Club/Honkey Tonk today is almost gone. It has all but totally fallen to the Ground. The Sign has been broken up as well. Not much is left of this place.
Believed to have opened sometime between 1980-1982. It closed, (from my understanding, due to the area be considered a "flood zone"). Date closed unknown..
**Status Update - Dec 2011 - The structure is now totally on the ground. Appears the roof has collapsed..........

History of the Museum
Scientific research and gathering in Austria found relatively late understanding and promotion. Indeed contained the chambers of art and curiosities of the Habsburgs also natural produce but for a long time they have been regarded as mere oddities, not as objects of scientific importance. It was not until Emperor Franz I. (Francis Stephen of Lorraine, 1745-1765), the husband of Maria Theresia, founded in 1748 with the purchase of the famous collection of Johann Baillous a private Naturalienkabinett. It was put up in accordance to Baillous' own scientific system in the Hofburg and was initially managed by this self.
The main emphasis was put on minerals and fossils as well as snail and mussel shells and corals. Plants and animals with soft parts were then (mainly because of the preparation problems) yet little appreciated as collector's items. They were held alive in botanical gardens and menageries.
After the death of Francis I the collection in which the Emperor had invested large sums of money was transferred into state ownership, reorganized and made twice a week accessible to the public. 1776 appointed Maria Theresa, particularly dear to her being mainly the earth sciences as a basis for mining and industry, the excellent mineralogist and montanist Ignaz von Born to Vienna and entrusted him with the systematic expansion of the collection. Born was a leader of the Enlightenment and Freemasonry, he might even have given the model for Sarastro in Mozart's "Magic Flute". With him for "Austria", definitely, dawned the scientific-technological age. The Naturalienkabinett (a cabinet of curiosities) then became a center of mineralogical research in Europe.
The nature-loving Emperor Franz II (I, 1792-1835) expanded the natural history collection for a private animal cabinet. The foundation for this were the trophies of the Habsburgs, which date back to Emperor Maximilian II (1564-1576), as well as the famous collection of prepared native vertebrates and insects of the falconer Joseph Natterer. After several reclassifications followed in 1807 the foundation of a separate plants cabinet. The Emperor lay with the gift of his Privatherbars (private plant collection) the foundation.
The exhibition practice around 1800 was marked by an often curious juxtaposition of little scientific and very progressive tendencies. The stuffed animals were shown in artificial landscape dioramas, ie already in ecological context. Alongside, however, stood also Stopfpräparate (stuffed compounds) of people of non-native breeds such as the "high princely Moor' Angelo Soliman, who came to literary fame.
The eminent scholar and organizer Carl Schreibers who from 1806 until 1851 headed the Natural History Collection, provided for key reforms in all areas. He extented all departments to major research centers and was supported not only by the museum officials, but also by a number of often highly skilled, unpaid volunteers.
On the occasion of the marriage of his daughter Leopoldina with the Brazilian crown prince Dom Pedro in 1817 sent Emperor Franz also well-known researchers to South America. Through their collecting activities, the growth of the museum's experienced a glorious climax. So stayed the zoologist Johann Natterer for 18 years in South America and established an in an exemplary manner documented collection of scientific and ethnographic objects for Vienna. This contributed significantly to the worldwide reputation of the museum, but also led to a decades-long lack of space.
With various, not always felicitous chosen emergency solutions on tried in vain to handle space problems sussesfully. During the revolutionary turmoil of 1848, the Imperial Palace was bombarded by imperial troops and partially set on fire. A part of the collection was destroyed, tragically, also many irreplaceable objects from the Brazilian material.
In the years after the Revolution, the collection was converted into an independent zoological, botanical and mineralogical Hofkabinett (Court cabinet). These cabinets with their extremely rich stocks offered not only ideal possibilities to explore, they contributed to the establishment of scientific disciplines in the university sector in 1870 also considerably to the formation of young scientists. The collections have been enhanced through exchange and purchases, by the collecting activities of the researchers as well as legacies, especially of scientifically inclined travelers, constantly . In addition, the by the Imperial Court generously funded cooperation with the Austrian navy became very important: Especially the circumnavigation of the world of the frigate "Novara" (1857-1859), which was attended by numerous excellent naturalist, gave an exceedingly rich collection of new material to the museum. The scientific word off should take decades.
This scientific Poiniergeist (pioneering spirit), reflecting the general belief in progress in the second half of the 18th Century, was facing the more and more oppressive need of space. Although Emperor Franz Joseph had already in 1857 the razing of the fortification lines around the city center ordered. On the cleared area should along a boulevard alongside other representative public buildings also new museums emerge. Up to the completion of this project, however, it was still a long way to go.
The liberal bourgeoisie then undergoing a steep political and economic upswing was inclined to replace the old cabinets through research and education centers for broad strata of the population and thus make its own cultural advancement clearly visible. But the neo-absolutist empire of the gradually decaying Habsburg monarchy, too, wanted erect itself a modern, artistically accomplished monument: A monumental Imperial Forum following the ancient example was planned, that should be reaching from the Imperial Palace to the royal stables. Realized of it was only a torso: the New Castle and Maria Theresa Square with Museum of Art History and Museum of Natural History.
The internal organization of the new 'Imperial and Royal Natural History Court Museum", which on 10 August was officially opened in 1889, goes back to the great geologist, New Zealand researcher and first director of the museum, Ferdinand von Hochstetter, and has been preserved largely in its clear systematic today. However, the proliferation of resources and new demands on the research and display collection activities required new spatial and structural solutions. Thus, an underground storage was created in 1990, which extends under the building on four levels and in fully air-conditioned rooms keeps a portion of the collection material. Due to the roof extension (1991 to 1995) further collection, but also numerous new working rooms were gained.
The research, the preservation and completing of the major scientific collections and the presentation of selected natural objects to this day have not lost any of their topicalities. In a time of increasingly rapid destruction of our environment, they are more important than ever. Just as the white patches have become smaller on the map, penetrates the science into ever smaller areas. Long scanning electron microscope and X-ray equipment have replaced hand magnifier. In the permanent exhibition area visitors also have access to advanced optical devices, especially in "Microcosmos" ( Hall 21). The preservation of collection, too, follows modern conservation knowledge.
Over a century ago, the Museum hace been created for the systematic presentation - the diversity of nature sorted strung together, the palace-like building, the interplay of means and objects as well as the historic atmosphere giving it a distinctive character.
Even with the redesign of many exhibition halls systematic classification was basically retained to make the visitors aware of the immense diversity of life. However, the presentation is successively adapted to the museological requirements and needs of the 21st century. Also presented are interesting topics and new contents in a contemporary didactic form.

As part of the required course knowledge pupils need to be able to outline the process involved in taking a square wooden blank and preparing it for turning between centres. These pictures depict that process chronologically.
Stage 1 * Preparation of wooden blank. Cut to size. Sand square. Mark across diagonals. Centre punch the centre point. Use spring dividers to mark circumference. Repeat on other end.
Stage 2 * Plane off corners down to circumference line. This takes cross section from square to octagon. This reduces force on cutting toll in initial prep of blank. Mount between fork [driven] centre and dead [or live ] centre at tailstock end. Apply grease a dead centre end. apply force from tailstock end to force fork into material at driven end. Adjust toolstock height to suit. Check for clearance.
Stage 3 * Roughout using scraper to diameter. Use combination of gouges and skew chisels to add beads and other decorative detailing as required. Ensure spindle speed is appropriate for material and cross section under consideration. Obey all safety instructions.
