to a young person watching it.' It felt quite special somehow. What was it? The story? The character? The subject matter? It's true, I think there's so much made about this period in people's lives; when you come of age or when you're in high school, there's so many teenage TV series and movies and whatever else that people would be sick of hearing about this one felt to me really honest and authentic, and it didn't glamourise the situation, it didn't patronise it or sensationalise it. It was amazing, I'd look at Steve and go 'you remember so clearly what it was like to be this age, it's kind of amazing'. And just the honestly, and that it isn't afraid to touch on subjects that are difficult, I think that was one of the difficultties in getting the film made, was that the film deals with things that people would rather not talk about, almost like taboo subjects. It's one of the most banned books in America, many State libraries will not stock this book, so that was fascinating to me because I had the privilege of having a background where I had a much more open minded and accepting background, that was a real shock and it was a shock that no one wanted to make it. I had to sort of bang on people's doors to get it made, so it's interesting. While making the film, did you ever feel you missed out on anything? It made | SP | SP IT | 234,051 |
the lower MER fees usually about .5% as compared to equity mutual funds and their fees ( average about 2.5%). So if your equity mutual fund has the same top 60 funds in it as the index fund, it will cost you 2% more to own it thru your MF dealer than if you bought the index fund yourself.

Due to their low interest rate, ( lower than the current rate of inflation ) you could be a bit better off at the end of the year, if you make your regular deposits into a high interest savings account with an online bank like ING or Ally. (Although you will still have to claim the interest on your tax return ) or even in a TFSA, then no taxes when you withdraw. Just my humble opinion and 2 cents worth. @Gail -- exactly! the index fund never aims to outpace the market because it IS the market -- it lays right smack in the middle of the graph. Half of stocks/mutual funds are below it, and half are underneath it. By buying actively managed mutual funds rather than index mirroring funds, you also have to pay higher fees, which means that you are statistically more likely to make less money than if you invest in | OP | OP AV | 3,743,795 |
be a limitation for subjective measurement and not for objective measurement? One obstacle to using QoL measurement seems to be related to the implicit comparison with a standard or norm (perhaps because of a misunderstanding about the tools of measurement). Obviously, this subject is often reported on by experts who argue for the subjectivity of the measure used. However, in the field of so-called "non-objective" measures, many indicators are used to assess consensual aspects, such as intelligence quotient. Additionally, one might similarly question the value of several of our so-called objective measures, such as neurocognitive assessments, behaviour disorders, children' size... The standards of certain objective criteria are not without problems. This issue raises the problem of the definition of the standard and its utilization. Canguilhem discussed the individualization of the standard in his criticism of the positivist determination of the normal and the pathological [ 29 ]. The "pathological" becomes an experience lived before being measured. Mistrust towards the objectivity of standards is, henceforth, a common problem in contemporary ethical culture. Using HRQoL standards does not mean defining a "normal life" but improving the everyday life of patients according to their situations [ 30 , 31 ]. Finally, the third sub-theme concerns decision-making with respect to QoL. The main question addressed in the FGs was whether HRQoL assessments can assist in evidence-based decision-making. HRQoL seems to have a limited impact on perinatal guidelines. Globally, HRQoL is almost exclusively used as secondary criterion [ 17 , 32 , 33 ]. What | IN | IN RA | 3,093,926 |

and speed the processing of optical data. The research required the ability to engineer a metallic surface to produce nanoscale periodic gratings with varying groove depths. This alters the optical properties of the nanopatterned metallic surface, called Surface Dispersion Engineering. The broadband surface light waves are then trapped along this plasmonic metallic surface with each wavelength trapped at a different groove depth, resulting in a trapped rainbow of light. You can get still more scientific detail in the item but I found a later posting, April 12, 2011 news item , also on Nanowerk, where the researcher Qiaoquiang Gan (pronounced "Chow-Chung" and "Gone") gave this description for his work, An electrical engineer at the University at Buffalo, who previously demonstrated experimentally the "rainbow trapping effect" [emphasis mine] -- a phenomenon that could boost optical data storage and communications -- is now working to capture all the colors of the rainbow. In a paper published March 29 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Qiaoquiang Gan (pronounced "Chow-Chung" and "Gone"), PhD, an assistant professor of electrical engineering at the University at Buffalo's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and his colleagues at Lehigh University, where he was a graduate student, described how they slowed broadband light waves using a type of material called nanoplasmonic structures.

If you don't tell them who you are, they'll fill in the gaps with guesses and generalizations from their experience -- and those generalities could be things such as Internet marketers being hucksters who will sell anything without knowing or caring about the product. Make an Amazing Offer People are used to getting "but wait, there's more!" in sales pitches. If you don't have a bonus of some kind, or have a weak bonus, they will not feel as compelled to purchase as if you have an amazing, time-sensitive or limited quantity bonus. Other bonuses that make customers feel like they're getting something special are free downloads that they can use while they're waiting for the product to reach them, or a customer forum they can join immediately upon purchase. Stay Customer Oriented Too often, businesses start out strong in their sales letters with a captivating headline, and finish strong with an amazing offer, but something goes wrong in between. They lose sight of the customer, and start talking about how much effort the company put into building the product, or what inspired the various functions included in it. If your copy is not directly related to either telling the customer how the product can meet their need, or offering a testimonial of how a similar customer solved a similar need with the product, that copy doesn't belong in your sales letter. | HI | HI HT | 3,715,719 |
Apple Inc. litigation The multinational technology corporation Apple Inc. has been a participant in various legal proceedings and claims since it began operation and, like its competitors and peers, engages in litigation in its normal course of business for a variety of reasons. In particular, Apple is known for and promotes itself as actively and aggressively enforcing its intellectual property interests. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Apple is a member of the Business Software Alliance (BSA), whose principal activity is trying to stop copyright infringement of software produced by BSA members; Apple treats all its intellectual property as a business asset, engaging in litigation as one method among many to police its assets and to respond to claims by others against it.

The great hereditary political families, such as the Cecils, the Devonshires, the Stanleys, to give a few examples, would still be allowed an opportunity of taking an active part in Parliamentary service, if the peers elected their own representatives. I feel sure that there are many on all sides of this House who would prefer a reformed House of Lords consisting of elected representatives of the hereditary peers, with the addition of life peers carefully selected for their knowledge of all walks of life, rather than the present principle of allowing peers of the United Kingdom to sit in the other House irrespective of whether they wish to do so or not.

be replaced by a synonym such as perform, execute, carry out, operate etc. Great article! I will swear by the reading and listening until I die, as it's the way I've learned to speak English. As I spent a lot of time on the couch watching Dutch subtitled series and reading in English as a child I've never had much use for a 'formal' education in English. I closed the subject in final exams with a 9.5 out of 10, never having really studied a minute. As for pronunciation I highly recommend a poem called 'The Chaos'. It's a high paced lesson in humility if you think you speak English. Be sure to have one of those digital dictionaries handy, as you will need it. A lot. Another way that reading helps improve vocabulary is that when you're reading, you see how the words are actually used. If you just read the dictionary, you may learn several formal definitions, but still not use the word quite right. By reading, you'll get comfortable with how to use specific words and when. This is a great article, and the comments are equally inspiring -- command of one's native language is a skill that differentiates the true lifelong learner from those that finished school, and subsequently finished learning.

Even if Congress does lengthen benefits, cash assistance is at best a stopgap measure, said Carol Hardison, executive director of Crisis Assistance Ministry in Charlotte, N.C., which has seen 20,000 new clients since the Great Recession started in December 2007. "We're going to have to have a new conversation with the people who are still suffering, about the potentially drastic changes they're going to have to make to stay out of the homeless shelter," she said. Forget Christmas presents. What the so-called "99ers" want most of all is what remains elusive in the worst economy in generations: a job. "I am not searching for a job, I am begging for one," said Felicia Robbins, 30, as she prepared to move out of a homeless shelter in Pensacola, Fla., where she and her five children have been living.

talk about Apollo. It's a pretty obvious move for a company like UA, because it re-imagines the recording console. You must have been thinking about it long before it actually happened... For the last ten years, really. And I think it goes back to when we were starting the company, this idea of analog and digital being integrated together like this. So I think getting a really great sounding, high quality audio interface that can then have the ability to integrate plugins in as part of the tracking and monitoring workflow, and then creating a lot of the workflow more based on an analog world, is exactly what we're after. We've already talked about our analog side, we talked about the digital side, and the fact that we wanted a company that had an analog side and a digital side was based on the idea that there was a world that embraced both, and it didn't have to be analog versus digital. And indeed our digital side has been about emulating analog gear, but we've really never had a product that embraced both, that was analog and digital in the same box. In this sense this is the very first product we've done that is an example of the original idea and vision for the company, which is analog and digital coexisting.

'Nothing to Do With Benghazi,' Military Officials Insist In a bizarre turn of events, CIA Director David Petraeus has tendered his resignation today after the FBI discovered he was having an affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell, who is under investigation for improperly accessing classified information. In his resignation letter, Petraeus couched the decision as a function of his moral failing, saying "such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours." Petraeus has been married for 37 years. Broadwell is also reportedly married with two children. The real question, however, is not so much about the "extensive access" to his person that Broadwell was given while penning the biography All In , but rather access she may have been given to his personal email account, which was being monitored by the FBI as part of the investigation. So far no charges have been filed and the FBI insists that Petraeus himself wasn't under investigation. Still, that one of the nation's top spymasters may have ended up leaking classified information to his girlfriend by way of his email account is a major embarrassment even without charges, and leaves Mike Morell as acting CIA director. The sudden resignation of Petraeus means he will no longer be testifying to Congress in relation to the September Benghazi fiasco, and rather that Morell, as his (at least temporary) successor will be doing so. Military officials insist Petraeus' resignation has nothing to do with Benghazi. The timing | NARRATIVE | NA NE | 65,299 |

that the State is involved with legislating to ensure the identity and status of children." Again, absolutely, and withholding recognition from the same-sex couple parents disadvantages their children by exposing them to schoolyard bullying, preventing non-biological parents from making life-and-death medical decisions and generally sending a message to those children that they are worth less than the offspring of married heterosexuals. There's also a lot to disagree with, but I'll limit myself to the central point, that allowing same-sex couples to marry would make marriage about the adults, not the children. Marriage has also been about the adults. We plight our troth to our spouses, not to our unborn children, and while some religious vows include an 'openness to life', or willingness to have children, nothing in civil marriage requires the participants to want or even accept children.

Undecided Question Would you say that "straight camps" can drive people to suicide? They have been a big cause mentioned in a lot of suicide notes. I think it's safe to say that the church kills people this way, via the transitive property. Obviously it's not premeditated murder, but they force people to surpress who they are and all they do is make gay people realize that they'll never get acceptence from people like that. isn't it disgusting how some people still think being gay is a choice? even though they have never been in a situation where they had to choose to be straight bi or gay. no one chooses to be gay just like no one chooses to love animals "a bit too much" and no one chooses to be a pedophile. if they COULD choose, don't you think they'd go "back" to being straight? back is in quotations because they assert everyone is born straight and some choose to be gay, but this is clearly ridiculous. | ID | ID QA | 161,125 |
the term to Kierkegaard, and yet others extend it as far back as Socrates . [ 40 ] However, the term is often identified with the philosophical views of Jean-Paul Sartre. [ 1 ] Søren Kierkegaard and Friedrich Nietzsche were two of the first philosophers considered fundamental to the existentialist movement, though neither used the term "existentialism" and it is unclear whether they would have supported the existentialism of the 20th century. They focused on subjective human experience rather than the objective truths of mathematics and science, which they believed were too detached or observational to truly get at the human experience. Like Pascal , they were interested in people's quiet struggle with the apparent meaninglessness of life and the use of diversion to escape from boredom. Unlike Pascal, Kierkegaard and Nietzsche also considered the role of making free choices, particularly regarding fundamental values and beliefs, and how such choices change the nature and identity of the chooser. [ 41 ] Kierkegaard's knight of faith and Nietzsche's Übermensch are representative of people who exhibit Freedom , in that they define the nature of their own existence. Nietzsche's idealized individual invents his own values and creates the very terms they excel under.

groups are looking simply at the bottom line. They see everything with a cost plus mentality. They know the cost of everything and the value of nothing. Unfortunately there is a school of thought among some policy analysts and Treasury advisers in this category. They look for fiscal scapegoats. They identify what they see as the non-productive sectors of society so they can isolate and target them. This is a value judgement based on numbers and theoretical models -- without any logic or sense of social responsibility. They see senior citizens as a burden on the tax dollar. They see senior citizens as a cost in terms of superannuation, aged care, health issues and Pharmac bills. They do not see senior citizens as people who have made a big contribution and continue to do so as long as their health allows. Let's face it, there is an army of volunteers out there working in all sorts of ways to keep communities functioning. Many of these community volunteers are senior citizens. So the analysts and advisers who target the elderly do not understand how communities function. They look for simple solutions to their perceived problems -- like making people work longer, reducing superannuation rates, and privatising the system as much as possible.

the disaster lies with his crew and employer, Costa Crociere, a division of the Miami-based Carnival Corp. Costa Crociere has denied that it was negligent and has distanced itself from Schettino, firing him in July although he is fighting to get his job back. Last month, court-appointed experts delivered a 270-page report of what went wrong that night based on an analysis of data recorders, ship communications equipment, testimony and other evidence. The experts, who included two admirals and two engineers, laid most of the blame for the collision with the reef and the botched evacuation on Schettino. But they also noted that not all crew members understood Italian, not all had current safety and evacuation certifications, and not all passengers had had the chance to participate in evacuation drills. Schettino's lawyers had sought to have the captain's Indonesian helmsman attend the hearing, but Judge Valeria Montesarchio turned down the request. Lawyers for some survivors and some families of the victims are seeking to point blame at the corporate level, alleging negligence. Among them is Peter Ronai, a lawyer for the family of a Hungarian violinist on the ship who, survivors recounted, helped children don life vests before perishing himself.

experience therapists have addressing a particular issue, concern, or problem area, the more expertise they have developed. 9. Does the counselor make guarantees or promises? It's important for a therapist to provide hope but not absolute unconditional guarantees. If you have the will to change and put in the necessary time and energy, healing is possible. Most of our wounds and defenses are the result of what has happened to us and to those around us. Healing can happen quickly in psychotherapy , but only after getting safely through the layers of protective gate keepers, which understandably can take a long time. So, although everyone is capable of healing, changes can take years to happen for some people; unfortunately, because time is limited, some may never achieve the level of healing they desire in this lifetime. In addition, people are not always at a time and place in their growth where they are ready to heal, and a given therapist may not be the right person to help them. Overall, there are numerous factors at play in the therapy process that may contribute to or interfere with healing; we are conscious of some of these factors, and others we are not aware of. And so, there are no guarantees without conditions. More information is available here: " Sometimes We Can't Help. " 10.

enhance instruction. I repeat "improve instruction" as yes; this is a system that runs for the benefit of the adults instead of the children. By offering a system of pay for performance, the hope is to put the focus on instruction and back where it belongs on the children. Without high quality instruction, nothing else matters. It is not that parents aren't important or the community is not important, it is that the children and their education are the most important. Thank you Dan for keeping this issue in the forefront.

think the court system should have to reimburse each juror based on loss time at work and pay the juror the exact amount of loss. Charge it the the defendant if they are convicted. Charge it to the courts if they are not. Just Saying.. Please think about the phrase "you have professional juries who can be bought". That makes as much sense as saying "professional cops can be bought" or "professional judges or lawyers" can be bought. First of all, ANYONE can be "bought", independent of their profession. And if anything can be said in favor of professional jurors (and there ARE many things) it is that just like a cop, a lawyer, or a judge, any "professional" juror caught taking a bribe would find themselves at the END OF THEIR CAREER. That sounds like plenty of incentive to keep it on the "straight and narrow" for someone looking forward to a lifelong career as a professional juror. I'm ALL FOR THEM. We would wind up with fantastic jurors who ALL LOVED their work and took their jobs seriously, constantly improving their craft in a competitive, free market. And in such a marketplace, it's hard for me to imagine there would have ever been a circus like you-know-what.

adaptation as a cost of failed mitigation is to expose millions of poor people in compromised ecosystems to the very dangers that climate policy seeks to avoid. So why would the Tories wish to exclude discussion of alternative strategies? Why would they claim that alternatives would contradict the science, that they are 'at the margin of the debate', and that 'we cannot risk them being wrong'? The answer is simple: lacking a framework of political principles, they have such little scope to set themselves apart from their Labour and Liberal (and for that matter, Green) counterparts that their only option for demonstrating their fitness for leadership is to appear to be taking the issue more seriously. And that's the only option open to their counterparts, too. The result is an escalation of the 'crisis' that ends up looking more like the razor wars than politics. Cynics on both sides of the issue may dismiss Cameron's words as empty rhetoric, as mere postures assumed to embarrass the Labour Party, and to rob the liberals and the Greens of their environmentalist edge. They may well be right, but what is important here is to recognise how dramatically environmental thinking is narrowing political discussion about the future.

events we reflect upon today happened 9 years ago in the Solomon Islands and seventy years ago in Papua New Guinea -- that's not very long. These days, both places are only three or four hours flying time from Brisbane. The Anglican Church in Papua New Guinea was in fact part of the Province of Queensland until it became a province of the Anglican Communion in its own right following independence in the mid 1970's. The Bishop of New Guinea during World War 2, Phillip Strong later became Archbishop of Brisbane. Four of the New Guinea Martyrs were from this Diocese.

property and capital, and the free market. Ralph Miliband sees the regime of Louis Bonaparte as politically independent of the dominant class, but still subject to the social and economic dominance of that class. Like Elster, he investigates the 'class balance' theory of the state, which Miliband calls Marx's 'secondary view of the state'. This is in contrast with the primary view asserted in the Communist manifesto, and reproduced at the top of this essay. This secondary view is 'that of the state as independent from and superior to all social classes, as being the dominant force in society rather than the instrument of a dominant class' (6). Later in the same work, he adds to this by saying, 'the Bonapartist state, however independent it may have been politically from any given class, remains, and cannot in a class society but remain, the protector of an economically and socially dominant class'. This can be explained with reference to Marx's version of the Hegelian view of the state. Even though the state under Bonapartism may have been politically independent, is must still stabilise the existing Civil Society, which is one dominated by private capital. Even though the state is independent, it 'represents' the society over which it presides. The autonomy of the state from the direct control of the dominant class can be referred to as Relative Autonomy.

(Revelation 22:1-2 KJV) Since the original "Tree of Life" was in the Garden of Eden, does it not make sense that, when the Lord makes all things new, that the future "Tree of Life" would be restored to its proper place? And that place is in Israel. The same place, upon the mountains of Moriah (Jerusalem), where Abraham was told to sacrifice Isaac (see Genesis 22:2); where Solomon was told to build the house of the Lord (see 2 Chronicles 3:1); and where the Lord Jesus Christ was crucified; where the Lamb was slain from the foundation of the world.

labeled as such. This is never a problem for patients if they are told the truth, but is a problem for some doctors who are not familiar with it. Acanthosis nigricans is a very serious, almost cancer-like condition. Parsons correctly called the increased skin pigmentation a skin change which resembles acanthosis nigricans. The similarity is only in color, not in pathology. The browning effect of niacin on a very few subjects is entirely different. It is transient, usually lasting only a few months, and when it clears the skin is perfectly normal; like an old tan, it washes off if the skin is rubbed when moist. It never recurs even with continued use. I think it is due to the deposition of melanin-containing indoles from tyrosine and adrenalin.

deceased than a common grave marker. In the end, what counts is friendship, being mourned, being cried for by someone who was close. "He gave to Mis'ry all he had, a tear, / He gain'd from Heav'n ('twas all he wish'd) a friend" (123-24). This sentiment, found in the controversial epitaph, affirms what the graveyard's lonely visitor says earlier: "On some fond breast the parting soul relies, / Some pious drops the closing eye requires" (89-90). Gray's restraint, his habit of speaking in universals rather than particulars, and his shifting from one speaker to another, control the powerful feelings these lines call up. They frame everything at some distance from the viewer. The poem opens with a death-bell sounding, a knell. The lowing of cattle, the droning of a beetle in flight, the tinkling of sheep-bells, and the owl's hooting (stanzas 1-3) mourn the passing of a day, described metaphorically as if it were a person, and then suitably the narrator's eye shifts to a human graveyard. From creatures that wind, plod, wheel, and wander, he looks on still, silent "mould'ring" heaps, and on turf under a moonlit tower where "The rude forefathers" "sleep" in a "lowly bed." Gray makes his sunset a truly human death-knell. No morning bird-song, evening family life, or farming duties (stanzas 5-7) will wake, welcome, or occupy them.

tries to help Sam (a sympathetic character), is very interesting, these castings turn the casting choices of Thompson's film completely on their head, which makes for an interesting reversal for any audience with a knowledge of the original. Another link in the intertextual chain between the two films is Bernard Herrmann's score from the Thompson film, which is reprised by Scorsese for his adaptation, albeit re-worked by Elmer Bernstein to fit into a film which is twenty six minutes longer than the original. In order to pad out the score to cover this longer running time, Bernstein used some of a lost score which Herrmann created for Hitchcock's "Torn Curtain" (1966) and was never used. Because of this, it can be argued that Scorsese is also making an intertextual reference to Hitchcock, as well as Herrmann, in 'saving' this lost work. This idea of intertextually referencing Hitchcock, is supported by Scorsese's decision to hire Saul and Elaine Bass, who had previously worked on Herrmann scored Hitchcock films, such as "Psycho" (1960) and "North by Northwest" (1959) , to design the credit sequence for the film. This particular intertextual link to Hitchcock was one which ran through the majority of Scorsese's 1990's career. Prior to "Cape Fear" , the Bass'designed the credit sequence for "Goodfellas" (1990) and would also continue their relationship, with the design of the titles for "Casino" (1995). This would be Saul Bass' last project before his death in April 1996. In consciously referencing these high profile figures | OP | OP RV | 544,258 |

Through the will of God - Not by human appointment, or authority, but in accordance with the will of God, and His command. That will was made known to him by the special revelation granted to him at his conversion, and call to the apostleship; Acts 9 . Paul often refers to the fact that he had received a direct commission from God, and that he did not act on his own authority; compare Galatians 1:11-12 ; 1 Corinthians 9:1-6 ; 2 Corinthians 11:22-33 ; 2 Corinthians 12:1-12 . There was a special reason why he commenced this Epistle by referring to the fact that he was divinely called to the apostleship. It arose from the fact that his apostolic authority had been called in question by the false teachers at Corinth. That this was the case is apparent from the general strain of the Epistle, from some particular expressions 2 Corinthians 10:8-10 ; and from the fact that he is at so much pains throughout the two epistles to establish his divine commission. And Sosthenes - Sosthenes is mentioned in Acts 18:17 , as "the chief ruler of the synagogue" at Corinth. He is there said to have been beaten by the Greeks before the judgment-seat of Gallio because he was a Jew, and because he had joined with the other Jews in arraigning Paul, and had thus produced disturbance in the city; see the note on this place.

Categories Posted by admin on November 10, 2012 at 12:13 pm. Filed under: First Aid Qualified first aiders are an invaluable resource in many areas of society. Be they in schools, workplaces, sports centres, airports, shopping centres or just walking down the street; their interventions can make all of the difference when somebody has suffered an injury or experienced a medical emergency. Indeed, many people throughout the UK feel reassured by the fact that qualified first aiders are frequently on hand, ready to jump in and help out whenever the need arises. Well, the only way to become a suitably qualified first aider in the UK is to attend a recognised course delivered by an accredited first aid training provider. These courses provide prospective first aiders with comprehensive instruction in both basic and advanced first aid and give them the skills and confidence they need to put it to good use. Of course, these courses by their very nature have to include a very strong practical element.

Anthony Perosh wins the freak accident of the year award, pulled from UFC on FX 6 bout with Joey Beltran Anthony Perosh is injured and is out of his UFC on FX 6 fight with Joey Beltran. The UFC has announced that Igor Pokrajac will step in to face Beltran on December 15 in Australia. Injuries happen in combat sports. They are as natural as rain on a Sunday morning. We have seen horrific cuts, knees rolls out of place, hematomas the size of twelve inch softballs, and arms pointing in the wrong direction. To use out of context one of the dumbest quotes ever uttered by a commentator, "These things happen in MMA." Every once and awhile we come across an injury so terrible it deserves attention. According to Adam Ireland , Perosh attempted a simple takedown on one of his training partners. In a freak accident, his big toe slipped in between two mats and broke.

cheeky toddler. Follow or contact me via Twitter: @jonchilvers 6 Responses to What should Mission look like in the 21st Century? Brilliant stuff Jon -- a positive challenge -- the part about asking the congregation what made them tick particularily interesting. So -- what answers did they give you when you were sharing your sermon? Great stuff as far as it goes, but what about the sending emphasis in the concept of 'mission' and the evangelistic direction. Whilst mission is not just what is done abroad, not even cross-cultural mission is just that nowadays, but there is still a Christian responsibility to help the development and growth of the worldwide church. Interest in 'overseas mission' is being severely undermined in the eyes of many in the Church today. I think 'Mission' traditionally makes us think of societies (or charities) that became divorced from the church -- it effectively became boxed off and professionalised. Churches need to find ways of giving (and receiving) support to brothers and sisters in Christ around the world. Some of course already do this extremely well and aid and development agencies are more aware of this dynamic than they were a decade ago. I agree with you that mission agencies have proved themselves to be somewhat isolated from the local churches in the past. However, I fear that, by by-passing the agencies, many churches and individuals involved in mission, fail to understand much of the cross-cultural context and are guilty of increasing the dependency of recipient | OP | OP RS | 3,044,556 |

He decides to leave the headlights where they are and gets back inside, locking the door behind him; piece by piece by piece he pushes all the stuffing he can find back into place, regretting the damage he's done to the cushions and walls and ceiling. He sits behind the wheel, and for the first time becomes aware of snow leaking in where the vent latch is gone; within the hour, frost starts forming on his cheek, flakes fall on his left shoulder, the bulb overhead continues to fade. With fingers strangely warm, he pulls the headlight knob and lowers his foot to the pedal: on-off, on-off, imagining the beams changing their tilt somewhere beneath the snow.

"I found the experience of staying in the classroom extremely rewarding and relevant to my career, so I made the decision to go back and do a graduate degree," Young said. In 2006, at 46, she earned a master's degree in professional communications with a specialization in international studies from Royal Roads University in Victoria, B.C. Most of her coursework was done online. Then, she picked up a post-graduate certificate in teaching adult learners from Western, which prompted her to go after the director's job at continuing studies. "It was a life-changing opportunity for me," she said. For the last two years, Young has helped match students of all ages with programs and courses designed to enrich their careers and lives.

In general, I think Australia has become a little more vegan friendly (or perhaps I've become so accustomed to paying exorbitant prices at UK restaurants that I'm eating at nicer places in Australia?). Even in my small, country hometown of Grafton I found a really lovely restaurant to eat at (twice!) and a couple of other places that were more than accommodating. One thing that really got on my nerves is that everywhere in Australia charges extra for soya milk and decaf coffee. Apparently Australian cafes think it is necessary to charge me an extra $1 per cup of coffee for not being cool enough to drink caffeine and cow's milk! Not cool, Australian cafes, not cool at all.

collapse. Even though this would be the first time in history anything like this has happened, and judging by the (formerly suppressed) video evidence, fire seems very very unlikely. I wouldn't waste too much time arguing with people who can't see WTC7 for what it is. A controlled demolition. It's obvious why our media refused to show the public the video footage of collapse for over 5 years. Isn't it Mike, or can you offer an explanation for this coverup? Maybe Mike Rudin can set up a poll. Have a link showing full video clips of all known footage of WTC7 collapsing, and then ask readers whether they think this is a controlled demolition or not.

current Arctic warming is compared to the natural variability of the last thousand years," said Marchitto, also an associate professor in CU-Boulder's geological sciences department. "We found that modern Fram Strait water temperatures are well outside the natural bounds." It was warmer than present in Greenland during the MWP according to Kobashi et al. 2011 (includes Jason Box). Around 1100 AD it was warmer than present for most of a 50 year period and then around ~700 AD it was significantly warmer than present for ~100 years. (More than 1C for most and 2C warmer for a short period) (Nearly the difference from present to the LIA in Greenland). The paper refers to snow temperature of Greenland only, not to the global average temperature. Unofortunately, the period you mention ~700 AD is outside the range generally considered to the be the Medieval Warm Period - that is taken to be 950-1150, a period when the snow temperature is shown to be about the same as the present. Viking settlement in Greenland began only after 900 AD, so these may not have had the advantage of a warmer climate usually assumed, and the "MWP" kinda vanishes. In fact, before the Vikings, Greenland had been settled by an Inuit-related people known as the Dorset people. Perhaps they left because of climate conditions, but that does not sound right for a Inuit-related better-adapted people than the Vikings.

In the spring, Walleyes are either in a river current or right close to shore. When I say close to shore, I mean 3 to 10 feet from shore. In Northern Ontario Canadian Shield Lakes, the Walleyes that don't spawn in the river will find sandy areas along the shore to spawn. By the time fishing season opens, most Walleyes are finished spawning but they will hang around to protect their spawning beds. You can put on a light jig (1/8th or 1/16th oz) and cast along the shore and retrieve it quit aggressively as the Walleyes are very aggressive this time of year. Use bright colors like red, chartreuse, yellow or white. Walleyes that are feeding will hit the jig. Walleyes that are not feeding will still hit bright colors because they are defending the spawning grounds and bright colors aggravate them. Generally, white is always the best color. In the daytime and in early spring, your will most likely catch smaller males, which stay at the spawning beds. The bigger females usually take off into deeper water during the day. If you are going after size instead of numbers, fish off the areas where Walleyes were spawning and fish deeper in the 10 to 15-foot depth. That's where the big females are.

The last speaker to be sacked The current hot political topic is the sacking resignation of the Speaker of the House of Commons, Michael Martin. Apart from obscuring the slightly unfortunate fact that it was not, after all, the Speaker who submitted all those expense claims, it would also be the first time in over 300 years that a speaker has been removed from office. And the last one -- Sir John Trevor -- was sacked for taking a bribe. Sir John was speaker of the House from 1689 to 1695. In fact, he was removed twice. He was an MP from 1673. (After his successful election in 1682, he had to fight a duel with his beaten opponent). He was originally appointed by James II, the successor to Charles II, and when James was removed and replaced by William III, Speaker Trevor went as well. However, he returned to Parliament in 1690 and once again, was appointed Speaker of the House of Commons. Rather wonderfully, as the picture shows, Sir Trevor was renowned for being severely cross-eyed. Indeed, so severe was this problem that often members of parliament weren't sure if he was really looking at them or not. So catching the speaker's eye proved tricky and often MPs, thinking he had looked at them would speak out of turn. His downfall came when, on 7 March 1695, he was found guilty of accepting a bribe of 1000 guineas from the City of London. (They were trying to secure | NARRATIVE | NA HA NE | 3,039,285 |
now lie under another church property, the parish graveyard. This scene remains in memory as the narrator contrasts it with allegorical figures who represent general traits of eighteenth-century humanity: Ambition (29), Grandeur (31), Memory (38), Honour (43), Flattery and Death (44), Knowledge (49), Penury (51), Luxury and Pride (71), Forgetfulness (85), and Nature (91). In shifting from individuals to universal types that characterize the world at large, the poem exchanges country "darkness" for civic and national life. Yet, against expectations, the narrator defends the dead in his remote churchyward cemetery from the contempt of abstractions like Ambition and Grandeur. He makes four arguments. First, the goals of the great, which include aristocratic lineage, beauty, power, wealth, and glory, share the same end as the "rude forefathers," the grave. Human achievements diminish from the viewpoint of the eternal. The monuments that Memory erects for them ("storied urn or animated bust"), the church anthems sung at their funeral, and the praise of Honour or Flattery before or after death also cannot ameliorate that fate. The narrator reduces the important, living and deceased, to the level of the village dead. Secondly, he asks pointedly why, were circumstances different, were they to have been educated with Knowledge's "roll" and released from "Chill Penury," would they not have achieved as much in poetry and politics as did figures like Hampden, Milton, and Cromwell? Thirdly, the narrator suggests that his unimportant, out-of-power country dead lived morally better lives by being untempted to commit murder or act | LY | LY PO | 599,815 |

Book Description Release Date: March 31, 2009 One summer, a young woman travels with her lover to the isolated tobacco farm he has inherited after his family dies in a terrible accident. As Orren works to save his family farm from drought, Aloma struggles with the loneliness of farm life and must find her way in a combative, erotically-charged relationship with a grieving, taciturn man. A budding friendship with a handsome and dynamic young preacher further complicates her growing sense of dissatisfaction. As she considers whether to stay with Orren or to leave, she grapples with the finality of loss and death, and the eternal question of whether it is better to fight for freedom or submit to love. All the Living has the timeless quality of a parable, but is also a perfect evocation of a time and place, a portrait of both age-old conflicts and modern life. It is an ode to the starve-acre Southern farm, the mountain landscape, and difficult love. In her lyrical and moving debut novel, C.E. Morgan recalls both the serenity of Marilynne Robinson and the shifting emotional currents and unashamed eroticism of James Salter. It is an unforgettable book from a major new voice.

I have normal/ combination skin, - oily t zone & tendency to flake on my cheeks and forehead which my foundation can catch on. I use good quality moisturisers & exfoliate regularly but still have these flaky patches, especially in winter. Dry skin products are too heavy, causing me to break out & go greasy. I think my skin is lacking water rather than oil, which is precisely what this product promises to address. This product made no difference whatsoever. I'm coming to the end of the tube & still battle daily with flakiness on my cheeks & a mask-like feeling. I'm actually quite shocked at the lack of any effect on my skin. Will not be repurchasing this or any other if their products (tried Snoxin - noticed no significant effects either). I realise I'm out of step with the majority of reviewers but this is my honest experience, using the product twice a day as directed. On the plus side, it didn't cause me to break out.

Might be obvious to some of you, but I learned that the hard way a few years ago. Arrange your surfaces into the corner desk shape and then decide which side you want to be the bottom. That should be the side facing up. Cut your 4' piece of oak into 2 pieces: 2.5' and 1.5'. Screw the two pieces of oak, using the 2" screws, at the crease of the corner to secure the two surfaces together (I also added a piece of scrap wood from my sawing to make it extra secure). Position and screw in your 4 hairpin legs.* Then, sand out the rough spots, and seal it with a coat or two of polyurethane. BOOM, you're done! *You'll notice the hairpin legs shown are 2-rod, not 3. After testing out the 2-rod for about a week, it just wasn't sturdy enough, so I swapped it out for the 3. Much, much better. My work is primarily paperless, so I don't need drawers or anything.

Microsoft had identified bundling with the client software of IAPs as the other of the two most efficient channels for distributing browsing software. By that time, however, several of the most popular IAPs were shipping Navigator. Recognizing that it was starting from behind, Microsoft devised an aggressive strategy to capture the IAP channel from Netscape. In February 1996, Cameron Myhrvold, the Microsoft executive in charge of the firm's relations with ISPs, outlined the strategy in a memorandum to his colleagues and superiors within the company: It's essential we increase the share of our browser. Network operators [(IAPs, plus the telephone and cable companies providing Internet access services)] are important distributors and we will license at no cost the Internet Explorer for distribution with their Internet access business to maximize the distribution/adoption of IE as browser of choice. We will attempt exclusive arrangements, fight for preferred status, but settle for parity with NetScape. Even offering IE for free will not win us every sale. In the U.S. we will offer IE broadly to net[work ]op[erator]s and IAPs including the many hundreds of smaller IAPs. In the first step of this strategy, Microsoft enticed ISPs with small subscriber bases to distribute Internet Explorer and to make it their default browsing software by offering for free both a license to distribute Internet Explorer and a software kit that made it easy for ISPs with limited resources to adapt Internet Explorer for bundling with their services. 243.

births and even a couple of remarriages before the first husband had died. However I helped a friend get started on her family tree and her husband being there asked could we have a look at his, that was fine, we did a bit using freebmd, other sites, and his own knowledge. I went home and looked further and I have found something about one of this man's ancestors which he really would not want to know, it concerns race. I've found a lot of people researching this particular ancestor and the information is real and out there. I can't tell my friend's husband what I have found, knowing what I know about him and the way he feels about things. I have actually found this really quite disturbing. I'd be thrilled to have this ancestor, he wouldn't. If he was a relative I'd tell the truth, he isn't so I am just going to say nothing but I find that sad. thecraftymermaid Rather than just keeping it secret I would suggest you ask yourself if the the difficult stuff you have found is likely to affect anyone but your friends husband. By this I mean are there any third parties who might be hurt by that information, or in particular by this man's reactions to them if he finds out something "unpleasant".

to fit into variable-size columns. Breaking columns with spanned elements About halfway down our article we've got an aside element, which is acting a bit like a pull quote. We're going to use this to break up our columnar layout by applying the column-span property to the aside element. While we're at it, we'll add a border to the top and bottom to help separate the element visually. Column behaviour Reload the page in your browser to see the breakout aside in situ. Notice that the columns now fill left to right above the /aside, aside , and then pick up again beneath it with the content that appears after it. This is important behaviour to recognise when using columns -- any element that spans columns breaks the structure. Applying column rules As well as providing a border to the spanning elements, we can also apply a defined visual separation to the columns themselves by using the column-rule property. This accepts arguments similar to the border property in CSS. Try adding the code below to your article rule in the stylesheet, to see an example of column rules in practice. Style the footer We'll use some of the properties we've covered above to style the footer element, which is going to round off our article nicely. First it should span the columns, have a border top and bottom, and we'll add some margin and padding to help it get some distance and sit apart from the content a little.

share via: OK, here's the scenario: A storm plows through your hometown, knocking out the electricity. Your lights go out, and with it your Wi-Fi. Your laptop, still charged, is without Internet. The local cell networks are both degraded by the weather and instantly overloaded as thousands of people around you call their friends and family to ask, "Hey, did your power just go out? You OK?" Your phone is getting service, but just barely. Calls are patchy. 3G and 4G Internet aren't working at all, so neither are your apps. All you can depend on is the most resilient, and limited, feature of your cell service: Text messages. The Washington Post has a great post up about how to use Twitter, which was originally a text-based service, without Internet access. But there's a lot more you can do with SMS -- from Twitter and Facebook to email and search. Here's how to access the Internet without the Internet: You can still use Google even if all you have is SMS access. Just add 466453 (GOOGLE) to your phonebook, then text to it as if you're searching. Courtesy of BuzzFeed Here's something you may not have known about your phone number: It has an e-mail address.

-- the assumption that the insurance industry is too powerful, that we will always have private health insurance. When Dean and others insist on the "choice" of insurer, they insist upon the "choice" of "keeping the insurance you have" -- let's keep the insurance business and its market, they assert. But the purpose of private health insurance and its market are the opposite of social responsibility -- and individual responsibility too. Choice of insurance companies only matters because it restricts choice in care. What matters for our health is choice among caregivers, choice in location of care. The very purpose of the insurance market is to restrict these choices and by doing so extract money from the health care system. "Adverse selection," the name of the game of health insurance business success is a reason why we should abolish health insurance as a business. Keeping that market offers the industry plenty of what Jessica calls "protection." The insurance companies know all about how to keep the healthy and wealthy while showing the sick and the poor the "choice" of another plan. That is why the insurance industry lately has offered to move to community rating -- if only the government will criminalize the uninsured and mandate the purchase of health insurance. Getting back to one of the scenarios -- the "choice" of buying Medicare, the "option" of paying health insurance premiums to a government entity (1) will not guarantee health care to all (as Dr. Dean asserts) and (2) will | HI | HI FH | 570,618 |

Read about how his charm wins over residents who were scared of him; read about the care the Levins provided for Oogy, seeing him through corrective surgeries as well as rehabilitation from cruciate ligament ruptures. Finally, I think one of the best parts of this book is how Levin describes the responsibility of the pet owner: 'It has always been my belief that a pet owner has a special responsibility to do everything that can be done to make the pet's life as fulfilling and peaceful as possible. That responsibility is yours the moment you make the choice to take an animal into your life.' | OP | OP RV | 3,780,832 |

Can you think of a single issue -- and this is to cast light for people who are just trying to get to know you in your final debate, your only debate of this year -- can you think of a single issue, policy issue, in which you were forced to change a long-held view in order to accommodate changed circumstances? BIDEN : Yes, I can. When I got to the United States Senate and went on the Judiciary Committee as a young lawyer, I was of the view and had been trained in the view that the only thing that mattered was whether or not a nominee appointed, suggested by the president had a judicial temperament, had not committed a crime of moral turpitude, and was -- had been a good student. And it didn't take me long -- it was hard to change, but it didn't take me long, but it took about five years for me to realize that the ideology of that judge makes a big difference. That's why I led the fight against Judge Bork. Had he been on the court, I suspect there would be a lot of changes that I don't like and the American people wouldn't like, including everything from Roe v.

Accurate relative spectrophotometry is critical for many science applications. Small wavelength-scale residuals in the flux calibration can significantly impact the measurements of weak emission and absorption features in the spectra. Using Sloan Digital Sky Survey data, we demonstrate that the average spectra of carefully selected red-sequence galaxies can be used as a spectroscopic standard to improve the relative spectrophotometry precision to 0.1% on small wavelength scales (from a few to hundreds of Angstroms). We achieve this precision by comparing stacked spectra across tiny redshift intervals. The redshift intervals must be small enough that any systematic stellar population evolution is minimized and is less than the spectrophotometric uncertainty. This purely empirical technique does not require any theoretical knowledge of true galaxy spectra. It can be applied to all large spectroscopic galaxy redshift surveys that sample a large number of galaxies in a uniform population. | IN | IN RA | 452,420 |
he's very conscious of being from what is, in some ways, the most traditional colonial region of Brazil. He has an unusual background. He goes to an English speaking Southern Baptist school, so he grows up speaking English as well as Portuguese, and he goes off to Baylor University in Waco, Texas at the age of 17 in 1917, which is really on the fringes of the South and the beginnings of the West. He finished his degree in three years and he becomes and Anglophile. He goes off to New York, does a masters in social science, what he would call anthropology, with one of the most famous figures in modern anthropology, Franz Boas. It's really Boaz is the one who pushes this notion that culture and biological inheritance are two different things, they're not connected.So Freyre goes back to Brazil, after a long tour in Europe, he's an English speaker not a French speaker, his time is spent mainly in the United States, and he begins to write a book about Brazilian colonial history.

few (with only very small maps available), so most players actually never figured it out. If by "very small" you mean "obviously shows Crimea, the Black Sea and the Caucasus" (e.g. a good chunk of southern Russia and Ukraine). Video Games City of Heroes has a weird version of this: much of the game's plot revolves around an alien invasion from a world in a parallel dimension. Which turns out to be an alternate version of Earth, where humans have been heavily modified into killing machines. The ending of Illusion of Gaia reveals that the game took place on Earth all along, but just the the cause of evolution had been altered by Dark Gaia. In Drakengard 's bonus ending, Caim and his dragon chase the queen beast into another dimension, but that dimension happens to be modern-day Tokyo. It's still an alien dimension to Caim, and this is illustrated by the fact that Tokyo is entirely in black and white. Just being on this page is a massive spoiler for the following game. Solatorobo.

smaller stadium, the Mini Estadi. The attendance for the opening match was 95,000, which was the highest of any of the matches staged at the Camp Nou, in what was generally a poorly attended World Cup. Not that Bara were complaining, they had increased the size of the stadium and for once it didn't dent the club coffers. The Camp Nou was now Europe's largest and most prestigious sporting venue and during the eighties it saw its fair share of sporting and non-sporting activity. Under the tutelage of Terry Venables, the league title was captured in 1984-85 and the Copa del Rey in 1986. Pope John Paul II paid a visit in November 1982 and became a member of the club and practically every 1980?s pop icon seemed to play the stadium. Then, with Barcelona winning the right to stage the 1992 Olympiad, the Camp Nou was chosen to host the final of the football tournament. The 1992 Olympic soccer tournament saw Spain's memorable last minute victory over Poland in the final and capped a hugely successful Olympiad for Barcelona. In 1993 the club started the process of turning the Camp Nou into an all-seater arena, but to achieve this and ensure that the lowest tier of seating had decent sight lines, the pitch was lowered by 8ft.

months later, they finally broke their silence after it became clear that the Internet was piecing things together. Why didn't WikiLeaks simply set the encrypted file to expire after a certain period of time? This is one of the most common criticisms. Many technical people have stated: "PGP lets you set keys to expire at a certain date. Assange could have used that technology." It isn't true. In fact, if you have such technology, Microsoft, Sony and the MPAA would love to hear from you, because that would be the holy grail of DRM technology. You can't make bits that "expire" or "self-destruct" -- they are infinitely copyable and don't disappear unless every single person who has a copy of them simultaneously and voluntarily deletes them. That tends not to happen. When people say "PGP lets keys expire," they're thinking of signatures , not encryption. PGP has two main uses: signing files ("is this file really from the person who claims to be its author?") and encrypting files ("nobody can read this file except its intended recipient"). On the opposite side, you can verify a signature or decrypt a file. When verifying a signature, it is in the client (the one verifying the file)'s best interests to fail if there is any doubt, so the client will first check that the signature is valid, and then check that the key's expiration date is in the future compared to the computer's clock.

Forgiveness - what's the point? The guy on the other end of the line seemed annoyed. He knew a lot about computers. I didn't, and my computer wasn't working. I needed help, but he wasn't being very nice. You know what it's like when you're already feeling dumb and somebody makes you feel even dumber? Awful, right? That's how I was feeling. Even though we eventually fixed my computer, it still made me mad the next day when I remembered the way he'd treated me. A couple of times the idea came to forgive him. But I thought I could deal with my feelings without having to forgive. I was wrong. Here are some ways I tried that didn't work: 1. Making excuses. I put myself in the computer guy's shoes. "Maybe he'd had a bad day," I told myself. "Maybe he was tired." I could think of lots of reasons why he might have acted the way he did. But I was still mad. I didn't want an excuse. I still thought he should have been nicer. 2. Telling myself it didn't matter. Since I would never meet this guy in person - or even have any contact with him again - it didn't seem important that I forgive. "It's not like he'll ever know if I've forgiven him or not," I told myself. "So what's the point?" But, I realized, I would know. 3. Not thinking about it. This will solve the problem, I decided.

to the church at Corinth is set forth in Acts 18.1-18 and in the Epistles to the Corinthians. DATE. First Corinthians was written in A.D. 59, at the close of Paul's three year's residence in Ephesus. Acts 20:31 1Cor 16:5-8. THEME. The subjects treated are various, but may all be classified under the general theme, Christian conduct. Even the tremendous revelation of the truth concerning resurrection is made to bear upon that theme 1Cor 15:58. The occasion of the Epistle was a letter on inquiry from Corinth concerning marriage, and the use of meats offered to idols 1Cor 7:1 8:1-13 but the apostle was much more exercised by reports of the deepening divisions and increasing contentions in the church, and of a case of incest which had not been judged 1Cor 1:10-12 5:1. The factions were not due to heresies, but to the carnality of the restless Corinthians, and to their Greek admiration of "wisdom" and eloquence. The abomination of human leadership in the things of God is here rebuked. Minor disorders were due to vanity, yielding to a childish delight in tongue and the sign gifts, rather than to sober instruction (1Cor 14.1-28). Paul defends his apostleship because it involved the authority of the doctrine revealed through him. A rigid analysis of First Corinthians is not possible, The Epistle is not a treatise, but came from the Spirit through the apostle's grief, solicitude, and holy indignation. The following analysis may, however, be helpful. I. Introduction: The believer's standing in | LY | LY PR | 439,137 |
