Motorcycle 20 miles to van rental. Arrive late. Too late. Motorcycle 50 miles to dance venue instead of going in van. Lay dance floor and set up event. Run event til 3am. Pick up dance floor and tear down event. Motorcycle (brr) 10 miles to hotel. Get two hours sleep. Wake up, motorcycle 40 miles to van rental (even more brr). Get van. Drive 50 miles back to dance venue. Put floor in van. Drive 20 miles to gala dinner venue. Lay floor and set up event. Run event til midnight, eat dinner, hand out prizes, dance. Pick up dance floor and tear down event. Load van. Drive 20 miles to hotel. Get 6 hours sleep. Wake up, drive 10 miles unload floor out of van. And have breakfast, go for a walk. and feel very very happy. If very slightly exhausted.
The previous few days I’ve spent plotting with some others and preparing one or two surprises for my friend, who promptly bursts into tears. Fortunately, these are happy tears.
And today, I feel deeply deeply content, deeply deeply peaceful and deeply deeply happy. I feel totally ‘on purpose’ and fulfilled. I’ve not advanced my life a great deal.. but I have helped about a hundred and fifty people – people from all walks of life, with different backgrounds, different abilities – have a fabulous weekend – building confidence, laughing, feeling good. and helped my friend feel loved, fulfilled and proud of what she’s achieved.
And this seems to be where the big happy can be found – as we find ways to make those around us happy, as we find ways to help them fulfil their goals, find their path, become more confident, live their dreams – as we cry with them, laugh with them, grieve with them. as we help them find their own big happy, then the big happy finds us.
My life isn’t about me – it’s about all the people that I come into contact with, from my closest friends and family to the supermarket cashier and the hotel receptionist. Your life isn’t about you, either – it’s about everyone that you brush up against during the day, about each of the people that you meet, no matter how fleetingly, and in every moment have the chance to bring life, and joy, and hope, and peace – the chance to help them see themselves through the eyes of love.
May the big happy seek you out, track you down, and wrap its arms around you this week.
More coming soon, I promise.
There are things that excite each one of us, that consume us. My dancing friends continually share stories of dancing, quotes about dancing, videos of dancers, thoughts on dancing. My friends with children share pictures of their youngsters. or their grandchildren. Those newly in love will talk excitedly about their lover, about their plans, their hopes, their dreams. The photographer will talk in numbers – of apertures and lenses, of pixel counts and ISO factors. The computer geek will murmur of throughputs and processor power, frame rates and bandwidth.
And I share all of those things too – I get excited about technology, and about dancing, and about my family. I get excited about the beautiful woman who has become part of my life. I can talk for hours about stories and movies, about books, about language. about things that bring me joy, that fill me with happiness.
And that’s why I share this stuff. These thoughts on life and on love. These riffs on beingness and on wisdom (mostly, it has to be said, other people’s wisdom!). Because it gives me joy to do so. I don’t pretend to have the answers.. as Andy Piercy wrote in After The Fire’s song “Time To Think” – “I’m just a student on the on the path of life – I’m just somebody seeking out the truth”.
When I was a little younger, my identity was as a father. Being a great Dad consumed me, consumed my time, consumed my energy. More recently, as my sons make their own way in the world, I have let go of that, even if I will never let go of that fierce love that binds the three of us together. And I find other things to be passionate about now.
What makes your heart sing? What brings you joy? What makes you happy? What do you love to do? What is it that, when you’re doing it, everything seems effortless, and time just seems to spiral away without you noticing the hours slip away?
Bring an end to Separation Theology. God is not ‘over there’ while man is ‘over here’. We are each an individuation of God, and as such there is no need to find a way to ‘please God’.
Stay in touch with who you are. You are not your body, but a soul travelling with the body to Joy.
Give others the experience you seek. The best way to have any experience is to cause others to have that experience. So if you want to experience Who You Are then help others to have that experience. If you wish to experience love, give love to others. If you wish to be prosperous, assist others in building their prosperity. And so on.
Be clear that nothing you see is real. You are creating your own experience. What is happening is what is happening, but how you are experiencing is something that you are making up.
Decide that you are not your ‘story’. You are not the events that have happened to you, and the reality you have created about the type of person you are. You can drop the story at any time and choose who you want to be in the moment of now.
Have only preferences. Enjoy life as it is presenting itself right now – you don’t need to demand that it be a certain way to be happy.
See the perfection. Judge not, neither condemn. You have drawn the events and the people that you have before you right now, and we use this moment to fulfil life’s potential.
Bypass the drama. Nothing has meaning save the meaning we give it.
Understand sadness. Sadness is not unhappiness, and sadness does not have to make you unhappy. You can experience sadness and grief in the moment which expands the richness of life’s experience, without it changing your life’s happiness.
Stop arguing with life. Stop judging your experiences – what has happened, what is happening, and what you think might happen. It’s OK to observe “what’s so”.
Drop all expectations. Forget about how things ‘should’ be. Expectations place limits on our definition of perfection.
Have compassion for yourself. Don’t make yourself ‘wrong’ even if you feel you deserve it. You are not your past, not even who you were a moment ago.
Speak your truth as soon as you know it. Do not hide your personal truth, your authentic feelings, your here and now experience, least of all from your dearest loved ones. You can share the most difficult truth gently.
Watch the energies, catch the vibe. Pay attention to life’s energies. Match your resonance inside with your resonance outside.
Smile. Smile for no good reason.
Sing. Connect the mind with the heart.
Know what to do when things are really bad. Which is.. do not resist what is occurring. What you resist, persists. Accept the energy, because you can heal it. No matter how bad things get, the interior of you cannot be affected by that which is exterior to you.. unless you decide to let it. | 2019-04-22T08:28:49Z | http://timhodgson.org/amazing/category/happiness/ |

Another week, another top 10!
With “Man of Steel” released recently, I figured now would be as good a time as any to deliver my 10, all-time favourite superhero films. I didn’t want to jump the gun just in case “Man of Steel” managed to crack the list and then have to go back and edit it, that’s why I waited. No doubt a lot of you will not agree with my choices, so let me explain a little before hand. I am a huge fanboy and while that does have its perks, it certainly comes with its own set of disadvantages. Such as being unable to admit a film is subpar due to my misplaced sense of invincibility and obsession. So please, while gazing at this top 10, be gentle :).
I’m getting real close to completing this segment’s header image so please bare with me at least for this week. Inevitably, “Captain America” did not make the list but I felt a powerful need to include him in this post whichever way I could.
Also, guys please follow The Cinema Monster on facebook and twitter. There are links to both on the right side of the page. It would mean a lot to me. I know its a hassle, but I just created them and if no one follows, they bare no purpose. I followed everyone on the blogroll already, so just simply go to your followers and follow me back…please :).
Enough witty banter and self-publicity, let’s start the top 10.
Why?: Easily the best in the trilogy. “X-2” sees the mutants band together to defeat a common foe, and while this may be a comic book cliche, I love when it happens. Also, Wolverine vs Lady Deathstrike is enough on its own.
Why?: I am a huge Thor fan and I feel that he is the best Avenger. I was a little weary of his own full-length feature series, but the original proved me wrong and its sequel “Thor: The Dark World” looks fantastic. And…c’mon…Chris Hemsworth.
Why?: Seeing Tony Stark fight his way out of capture, build a formidable, almost indestructible suit, and destroy Jeff Bridges is enough. Let alone the fact that this film without question has the most heart and believability.
Why?: I’ll admit I am not a huge fan of Raimi’s “Spider Man” trilogy. I did enjoy the first film, but the third and final entry was a complete bust. However, the second film is outstanding.
Why?: Remember when I said I’m a fanboy and essentially go into the cinema with blinders on, well, yeah, that’s why. But seriously, this film was amazing, I don’t understand why it’s taking so much heat. Sure, it wasn’t perfect, but it was still epic and utterly captivating.
Why?: Odds are, if you’re not a fan of Christopher Nolan’s introduction to his reboot of the Batman franchise, I don’t much care for you as a person. Just kidding…sort of. Between Cillian Murphy’s Scarecrow and the fact that my last name is Falcone, I couldn’t resist.
Why?: Directed and written by the masterful Joss Whedon. “The Avengers” is everything you’d expect it to be, and so much more.
Why:? Many argue that it is the greatest superhero movie of all-time. While it’s hard to argue, I must insist there is one better. Nonetheless, with Heath Ledger’s Joker portrayal, the bat-pod, and everything in between, “The Dark Knight” is down-right perfect.
Why?: Christopher Nolan’s immaculate ending to his epic “Dark Knight” trilogy. Many thought he could never top “The Dark Knight,” but I, like many others, feel he did the job.
If you feel that I’ve overlooked a flick or that a film made the list that shouldn’t have, feel free to comment below. Also, if you are interested in contributing a top 10, please let me know. Have a great weekend!
Despite feeling all too much like a video game and suffering from a lack of ferocity that has made the zombie sub-genre what it is today. “World War Z” is able to, for the majority, overcome its unbalanced nature and numerous setbacks to deliver heart-racing thrills, surprisingly tense sequences, and another masterful, yet effortless performance from Brad Pitt in this piece of blockbuster eye-candy that ultimately works. While those, like myself, looking for a faithful adaptation of the source material will predictably be disappointed. “World War Z” should accomplish what it set out to achieve with its family friendly rating, high-profile names like the aforementioned Brad Pitt and Max Brooks, in addition to a big-budget which is, appeasing die-hard zombie enthusiasts and appealing to the summer crowd without alienating one or the other. Although there is little structure to speak of and that the film itself is practically void of an ending, “World War Z” thrives.
Gerry Lane (Pitt) is a former United Nations employee living in Philadelphia. As him and his family sit in traffic, reports of a rabies outbreak has spread. Soon, Gerry and his family are overrun in chaos and destruction as a pack of these infected humans begin destroying the city and infecting others. Managing to escape with the help of an old colleague, Gerry is thrust back into action and must assist a young virologist in creating a vaccine. Gerry is reluctant, but must proceed in order to secure the safety of his family. Some time after, the infected beings are aptly titled zombies, seeing as they crave flesh and are no longer living. Gerry must seek the help of various nations and shady characters in order to find a cure.
Regardless of how successful “World War Z” performs at the box office or is critically received. In the end, one can’t shake the feeling that a supreme opportunity was wasted here. The film is undeniably fun to watch and offers enough fresh material to rise above the typical summer dribble. Nonetheless, an adaption of Max Brooks best-selling novel should have provided more of what makes the zombie sub-genre so compelling. Brooks consistently tackles this version of an apocalyptic plague with brains just as much as brawn and sadly, this adaptation of his innovative best seller really doesn’t offer an abundance of either. That being said, what “World War Z” utterly lacks in ingenuity, it more than makes up for with undead that are almost super-human, cool CGI, and a fluid story that feels like a video game based on mission-objectives.
From the get-go, “World War Z” plants its foundation firmly in intellect and implies that it will further dissect and depict the scientific and physical aspects of this world-wide plague. However, this set-up tails off significantly into rumours, acts of god, and a series of foreseeable cliches. Although it isn’t enough to completely disparage the film, it is rather distracting and really undermines the intelligence of the viewer. The fact that the final draft of the film was edited and reshot significantly, enough to push back its release six months really is discouraging. Yet, considering all the notions that the film was slapped together and salvaged by numerous writers with varying inputs. “World War Z” contains the right amount of visceral characters, breathtaking action, and a plethora of undead beings to triumph.
In all honesty, the number of supremely talented writers it took to adapt “World War Z” is astounding. Each one is talented, as well as experienced and their track records aren’t filled with lacklustre efforts either. With the likes of Drew Goddard (The Cabin in the Woods), Damon Lindelof (Star Trek Into Darkness, Prometheus), J. Michael Straczynski (Thor), and Matthew Michael Carnahan (State of Play), tackling “World War Z” shouldn’t have been the hassle it turned out to be. Nevertheless, while it may have taken more collaborates than needed, the job got done, with a bit of flare I might add. Director Marc Foster, who prior to “World War Z’s” release was still honing his craft and searching for his masterpiece, in my opinion anyway, directs another slightly above average piece, but is still yet to find his true muse. While there is some impressive camera work and Foster undoubtedly knows what he is doing behind the lens, I feel he is yet to realize his full potential.
As for “World War Z’s” cast, which features Brad Pitt, Mireille Enos, James Badge Dale, and Daniella Kertesz. It’s easy to see how one can argue that their performances are what really saved the film instead of its extensive rewrites. As always, Brad Pitt brings his usual subtle dynamism and visceral style, while continuing to build a sterling reputation. James Badge Dale is still one of the most underrated and underused actors in the industry and his performance in “World War Z” just adds fuel to the fire. Daniella Kertesz does a phenomenal job supporting Pitt and seems to have caught everyone off guard. However, while Kertesz gives an outstanding portrayal, I feel that Mireille Enos really stole the show. She easily provides the most honest and terrified take on surviving the end of the world, especially fearing for her children. Everything about her performance is truly believable and endearing.
Although “World War Z” is missing a vibrancy that results in achromatic visuals. Its fast-moving, large-scale battles with the undead and vast destruction of man-made creations save its colourlessness. The direction and storyline, while missing individualism is passable with some good sequences sprinkled here and there. “World War Z’s” performances are seemingly the only consistency throughout the film and while this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, for a film with so much potential and original criteria to compare it to, its hard to get excited over typical cinematic qualities. All in all, “World War Z” succeeds and even though on the surface it’s rock solid, underneath its superficial traits, there is gooey inconsistencies and not much merit. So, take it for what it is, an enjoyable, brainless blockbuster that’s easy on the eyes and tons of fun.
World War Z: 7 out of 10.
Outlandishly complex, visually mesmerizing, and action-packed. “Inception” is an intelligent blockbuster that bursts forth from the screen with all the spectacle and wonder that makes cinema so riveting. With infinite staying-power fortified by unlimited ingenuity, an empathetic human element, and dynamism. “Inception” is easily one of the best science fiction films to ever be released, if not the best. Written and directed by the distinguished Christopher Nolan. “Inception” is a brilliant addition to his already stellar collection of highly memorable films and adds another layer of superlativeness to his stern and bright reputation. Completed by an all-star cast and an absolutely epic score from the incredibly talented Hans Zimmer. “Inception” is an unparalleled cinematic experience and regardless of its intricate story or the grandness of its heart-stopping scale, should stand the test of time (no pun intended).
Dominic Cobb (DiCaprio) is a skilled thief who is somewhat of a master when it comes to the artistic science of extraction. Simply put, Dom can be inserted into anyones dreams and steal their most valuable secrets and information. After a failed job, Dom and his partner Arthur (Levitt) are hired by Saito (Ken Watanabe), the original target, to convince a rival company’s owner to disband his inheritance. This tactic is officially known as inception. Upon recruiting Eames (Hardy), Ariadne (Page), and a few others, the group begins plotting against their target, Robert Fischer (Murphy), unaware that Dominic is hiding a dark and possibly dangerous secret about his late wife Mal (Cotillard).
Very rarely does a film come along that proves to be a game-changer, and in every sense, “Inception” is one of these films. Whether it is the folding over of an entire city, mind-churning paradoxes, or astoundingly choreographed action sequences, “Inception” is deliciously appealing. Granted, a majority of these magical, majestic, delectable scenes take place in a fantastical realm. However it doesn’t degrade the sheer intellect, talent, and innovation infused into every single one of these miraculous scenes. And while the production value and intricacy of these aspects is enough for them to stand on their own. What truly puts “Inception” at another level is the brains that accompany the brawn. Equally matched intellectually and visually, “Inception” is its own excellent contrast. The mind and eyes receive quite the workout, yet, never has a strenuous effort felt so euphoric.
Talk about easy on the eyes. “Inception” has the outwardly striking, abundantly accomplished, and utterly skilled cast to assist in the completing of this masterpiece. Starring the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Cillian Murphy, Marion Cottilard, and Michael Cane, amongst other proficient personnel . “Inception” is undoubtedly the full package with an ensemble that knows no weakness.
Literally appealing to every sense, “Inception” is not to be missed by anyone in existence, cinephile or not…and how about that ending?
Inception: 9 out of 10.
Although somewhat far-fetched, “Mother” is an intriguing, violent, and unsettling thriller that never shies away from the darkness in life. Brilliantly depicting the foremost extent in which the protectiveness of kin reaches and how disconcerting and blind this shielding can be. “Mother” is in no way easy to watch. Granted, this film’s heavy, monstrous ferocity and unpleasantness is incredibly difficult to absorb, let alone grasp. Nonetheless, to deny its morals, heart, and appalling nature is to reject what evidently makes us human. However, do not mistake “Mother” as some sort of typical, excessively gory, and unnecessarily malicious film like most of the genre’s trash, it is nothing of the sorts. While “Mother” does deal with some horrific content, what makes it truly despicable, unnerving material is the subtle and unflinching way it is presented. Usually the most terrifying things aren’t something of substance and complexity, rather common and simple with a unique twist.
Do-joon (Bin) lives in a small town in South Korea with his mother (Hye-ja). Do-joon is shy and slightly amiss and distant, however, he is prone to attack anyone who insults his intellect. One day, a girl is brutally murdered and evidence places Do-joon at the scene and the last one to see her alive. Upon being arrested and sentenced to serve jail-time, Do-joon’s mother is convinced her son didn’t commit the crime and sets out to prove his innocence using any means necessary.
Co-written and directed by Joon-ho Bong, director of critically and universally acclaimed films such as giant monster flick “The Host” and detective thriller “Memories of Murder.” Bong will look to continue his rapid ascent to becoming one of the most revered and visionary filmmakers of our time with his first English-language film “Snowpiercer,” which is set for release sometime in 2013. Bong, utilizes facets that he has compiled over time and inducted into his repertoire so faultlessly. They compliment his style so vigorously that each one leads into the other in such a seamless transition, and “Mother” is no different. His intelligent, clever script is bursting with unbelievable tension, grounded characters, and unparalleled sequences of such honesty and relevance. Not to mention his work behind the camera has never been better. “Mother” is easily one of his best films and an argument could be made that it is his most complete and frightening work to date. “Mother” is an all around immaculate job by Joon-ho Bong.
“Mother” is a film who’s success is heavily reliant, rather, judged on the performance of an individual. If this character is not portrayed infallibly, the entire picture falters. Luckily for Joon-ho Bong and company, they found the perfect lead in Hye-ja Kim. Her take on an over-protective, infinitely loving mother is remarkable to say the least. While there is a dark side to her, a method in her madness so to speak. Kim takes these traits and moulds them into tender, generous tendencies that, when compared to their disgusting, violent nurturing origin, are unrecognizable. Honestly, it is one of the best performances I’ve ever witnessed. As for her son, portrayed by Bin Won, who adds a swiftness and innocence to his characters unbalanced, mischievous ways. Provokes an avalanche of sympathy even though his mindset is corrupt. This is a testament to the power of his persuasive performance.
Mother: 8.5 out of 10.
A film that transcends genre labelling with its innovation, ingenuity, and insanity. “I’m A Cyborg, But That’s Ok” is approximately a romantic comedy, but with dark, at times violent, and bizarre twists, containing moments that differ vastly on the cinematic spectrum. “I’m A Cyborg, But That’s Ok” ranges from deviously psychotic to sweetly honest, impassioned, and comical. Writer and director Chan-wook Park somewhat diverges from his usual business of trifling with the ugliness inside humanity to display a more compassionate, creative, and comedic side to his craft that isn’t all doom and gloom. Although its tone is highly unpredictable, shifting from affectionate and charming to tragic and unrestrained, “I’m A Cyborg, But That’s Ok” shouldn’t be too jarring for the occasional viewer. Charismatic, witty, and undeniably enthralling, Chan-wook Park has proven he isn’t just a one-trick pony.
Young-goon works in a factory constructing radios and believes that she is a cyborg. She is institutionalized after she cuts her wrist, shoves a set of wires inside her forearm, and then plugs the cord into a wall outlet in an attempt to recharge herself. Young-goon refuses to eat and only licks batteries in order to recharge. Il-soon, who is also a patient, becomes infatuated with Young-goon. Il-soon thinks of himself as a master-thief and believes he can steal physical and personal traits of other humans. After a brief stage in which the two form an awkward relationship, the two begin to help one another with insane schemes.
Very rarely does a film come along that is such a genuine hybrid. But it does make sense that it would come from the mind of Chan-wook Park. Who has busted stereotypical cinema on numerous occasions, including drama, horror and thriller. Now, with “I’m A Cyborg, But That’s Ok,” Park tackles perhaps his most difficult challenge to date, the romantic comedy. This film is easily one of the most crazy, obscure, and confusing films I’ve ever come across, but it is also one of the best. I don’t think I’ve ever stumbled upon a film that evokes such emotional diversification as “I’m A Cyborg, But That’s Ok” does. While it may be paced slower than Park’s other outings, it is deliberate. During this screen-time, “I’m A Cyborg, But That’s Ok” stretches the viewer’s brain by provoking countless reactions and striking numerous nerves, a truly unprecedented experience.
Chan-wook Park is one of the most iconic, revered, and important filmmakers of our time and “I’m A Cyborg, But That’s Ok” is a terrific example why. Park brilliantly showcases every single one of his illustrious facets throughout this atypical rom-com. Whether it may be his grounded, elemental framing that captures even the slightest detail and movement of his characters or the disheartening brutality of his dynamic scripts. Regardless, what truly makes Park such a praised figure in the cinematic community is his ability to evolve. After completing the “Vengeance” trilogy and generally sticking to darker pictures with heavy, brooding themes. Chan-wook Park unpredictably chose to unleash this hidden gem. While it remains true to his brute force and unruly material. “I’m A Cyborg, But That’s Ok” touches so many fresh ideals and bursts genre and theme misconceptions.
The cast assembled for “I’m A Cyborg, But That’s Ok” is remarkably put together, as there is not a single weakness. From its two quirky, maladjusted leads down to every patient and caretaker at this unsettling asylum we’ve been invited to take temporary residence in. The supporting characters alone make “I’m A Cyborg, But That’s Ok” worth the watch. They astoundingly portray mental illness accurately but add a comical, yet heartbreaking depth and individuality to each role that generates unlimited sympathy and laughs from the audience. Kudos should also be given to the actors who portray the doctors and nurses in the film who perfectly adapt to their roles.
Nonetheless, “I’m A Cyborg, But That’s Ok” has only two leads and they are Jung Ji-Hoon and Im Soo-jung. Essentially what makes Jung Ji-Hoon and Im Soo-Jung work so well together is their ability to feed off one another’s unbalanced behaviour and lunacy. The two have an undeniable chemistry filled with demented and sociopathic tendencies. Despite these flaws, they manage to portray an eccentric, dysfunctional relationship to full comedic and emotional potential.
From the unparalleled mind of Chan-wook Park comes this incredibly unique experience that should appease just about any cinephile.
I’m a Cyborg, But That’s OK: 9 out of 10.
Adding much needed depth and humanity to such an illustrious character, who’s storied and intricate history is as delicate as it is powerful. “Man of Steel” has the action, heart, and nostalgia to satisfy both fanboys and newcomers alike. While it may prove to be too bombastic and interwoven for a few critics and harsh naysayers. This polarization is nothing new to the Superman franchise. Nonetheless, “Man of Steel” is a revival with such exuberance, precision and emotion, that it is nearly impossible to resist its charms. However, having been built-up, collated, and magnified with significant importance and anticipation for close to two years. “Man of Steel” was arguably set-up to disappoint and sadly but inevitably, for some this is the case. Regardless, for die-hards, cinephiles, and inner-children everywhere, including myself. “Man of Steel” was well worth the wait and is a fresh, honest, and mesmerizing take on the world’s most famous superhero.
Krypton and its inhabitants face imminent destruction due to an unstable core. To protect their new-born child, Jor-El (Crowe) and his wife Lara launch a spacecraft carrying their son Kal-El (Cavill) to Earth, in order to secure the fate of their race. Upon arriving at Earth, Kal is found and taken care of by his adopted parents Jonathan (Costner) and Martha (Lane) Kent, who rename Kal, Clark. Because of Clark’s Kryptonian physiology, he inherits superhuman abilities on Earth. Soon, Clark and the entire population of Earth are under attack from another native of Krypton.
Written by the immensely successful “Dark Knight” trilogy scribe’s David S. Goyer and Christopher Nolan. Who make sure that “Man of Steel” contains all the wonder and amazement of the cosmic superhero’s intergalactic existence, in addition to the grounded and elemental nurturing that fortified the batman re-imagining. “Man of Steel” has all the makings of another fortuitous endeavour, not only for “DC comics,” but all involved. Nolan, who also produced the flick, oversaw most of the film’s creation and was essentially present for the ideal’s birth from Goyer’s mind. Although, clearly stating that he would not direct another Batman film, or superhero film of any kind, Goyer and company had to look elsewhere for someone to helm this reboot. After a slew of high-profile names fell to the wayside, it was visionary filmmaker Zack Snyder who was officially picked to take the reigns.
Upon witnessing the triumphant boom of the Marvel franchise into multiple blockbusters and countless tangents. DC, simply put, had their work cut out for them. Looking to Christopher Nolan for a spark that would ignite a similar explosion, DC completely entrusted him with their future prosperity…and while it is decidedly easier to simplify Batman with a modern, realistic twist. It is near impossible to humanize and ground a hero who was born amongst the stars and soars through space. Be that as it may, with “Man of Steel,” Goyer and Nolan have managed to transform Superman into a dark and brooding character with a heart and mind just as strong as his physical capabilities. All in all, Nolan has been, and will continue to be the catalyst and made sure that the continuation of DC films not only goes smoothly and successfully, but will continue to thrive.
Having director Zach Snyder’s keen eye for detail and jaw-dropping flare coordinating with Nolan and Goyer’s taste for believability, soul, and consciousness makes “Man of Steel” the most unique and honest take on the superhero to ever hit the big screen. The film has an exquisite blend of fast-paced action, atmospheric imagery, and heartfelt relationships that never cease resonating. Snyder’s vision for “Man of Steel” brilliantly collaborates with Hans Zimmer’s epic, melancholic soundtrack, Nolan and Goyer’s disheartening, but bewildering script making the finished product truly something to behold. If you let critical skepticism, minor blemishes, and transitional inconsistencies tarnish the films reputation or influence your opinion, this might not be the picture for you. Take my word for it, set aside the hype and reviews, appreciate this breathtaking rebirth for what it is.
Obviously, without a cast to perfectly animate these features and hard work, the film would utterly falter, luckily, this is not the case. “Man of Steel” stars Henry Cavill in the title role, Amy Adams as the beautiful but brainy Lois Lane and acting heavyweight Michael Shannon as the blood-boiling villain, General Zod. The film’s supporting cast is equally as impressive, if not more so. Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Russell Crowe, Laurence Fishburne and the surprising Antje Traue solidify what is an outstanding ensemble.
It’s been a while since Kevin Costner has blown any of his co-stars out of the water. Yet, aside from Cavill and Shannon, Costner is without question the most sublime and really reminds us all of his staggering talent. Diane Lane and Russell Crowe aren’t far behind, preparing Clark for the brash and brutal reality of the world’s he is now apart of. The two are formidable in their supporting roles and add another layer of brilliance to an already astounding story. As for Fishburne, who is his usual, intimidating self. One can’t help but feel letdown by his standard performance, however, his role was extremely limited. If I’m being completely honest, I had never seen Antje Traue in a film prior to “Man of Steel,” but now that I have, I am smitten. She really captures the fearless mentality of Faora and if i might add, looks quite good doing so.
Out of the three leads, I’d say that Amy Adams is the most underwhelming. Albeit, that is in comparison to Michael Shannon and Henry Cavill, so a case can be made that it’s more of a compliment than an insult. Yes, she is sweet, cute, and calm in the face of danger. I’m not implying she performed horribly, I’m stating that Lois Lane in general was somewhat underwhelming. Which should be the case considering “Man of Steel” is dealing with the origin story of the man himself, not her. The severely underrated and tragically underused Michael Shannon finally gets his due as a ruthless, violent, determined villain who’s primary goal is to guarantee the safety of his people. One can tell that Shannon has always had this dark, primal catharsis waiting to be unleashed deep down inside. Now, finally, Shannon has burst into the mainstream and will hopefully stay there. Shannon delivers a powerhouse performance.
Henry Cavill is Superman: the body, the hair, the voice, everything. I don’t know how else to put it. His acting is superlative, he clearly got in incredible shape for the picture, so he obviously invested heavily in the role. Everything about his emotional range, mannerisms, even the way the suit fits him is enough to send chills down your spine.
“Man of Steel” offers a never-ending series of heart-racing action seqeucnes that look anything but contrived or inauthentic. One thing on everyones mind prior to the film was how Cavill would look while flying, and thankfully, these segments look dignified. Snyder should gain a stronger fan-base with “Man of Steel” considering his preceding films left audiences divided to say the least. For those Superman enthusiasts, be sure to look out for a few easter-eggs throughout the film. They’re sort of like subtle nods to the audience, a way of saying thank you and we appreciate you.
Man of Steel: 8.5 out of 10.
Deftly paced, emotionally gripping, and psychologically advancing. “The East” is a socio-political thriller that never mistakes revenge for a lack of heart. Piling on the tension to an almost unbearable extent and performed with graceful precision and a relentless thirst for justice. Co-writers Brit Marling and Zat Batmanglij have once again created a taut character-study oozing with conscientious-awareness and founded upon eco-friendly tendencies. While parts of “The East” may feel somewhat like a retread of the duo’s previous effort “The Sound of my Voice,” any correlation between the two is soon disparaged. Yes, it may deal with similar themes such as infiltration, self-realization, and influence. Nonetheless, “The East” is Marling and Batmanglij’s most complete offering to date and sees their potential continue its rise to an even brighter future.
Sarah moss (Marling), a former FBI agent, is a high-level operative for the private intelligence firm Hiller-Brood. She is commissioned to infiltrate a terrorist organization called The East and report back with the groups next targets. Upon gaining the trust of the charismatic leader Benji (Skarsgard) and next in command Izzy (Page), Sarah begins to unveil intel to her boss. As time passes, Sarah becomes infatuated with the group’s members and ideals.
The first few moments of “The East” strike a strong note of consciousness that resonates throughout the entire film and never disperses or weakens. It is followed with wave upon wave of allegory that inflicts an ocean of inward assessment regarding environmental duty and industrial intoxication. It may leave a bitter taste with its blatancy, unorthodox approach, and alarming nature. Nevertheless, it is a controversial wake-up call that is extremely difficult to look away from. Ultimately, “The East” isn’t easily dismissed upon completion. It acts much like a splinter, stinging and constantly drawing your attention and ire until it is dealt with. I’m not implying that it will force you to drop sanity and necessity to go and save the world. Yet, it will enlighten your point of view and illuminate these troubling matters at hand so one day we can make better, more informed decisions about the planet, and more importantly, our future.
Amongst these immense matters, it would be easy to lose sight of the human element. After all, the safety of our environment directly affects our longevity and its security. It might seem a bit selfish, but the concern about our habitat is based in majority on our dominance of this planet. Amazingly, Marling and Batmanglij have managed to bottle these enormously important topics and infused them with our heart and soul. What good would the preservation of Earth be if we weren’t around to enjoy it? While we are treated to an abundance of vantage points, each one is unique and connects with different people on vastly different levels. Which, evidently makes “The East” an outstanding experience for all involved, cast, crew, and audience.
Perhaps the most beautiful thing about “The East” is its dissection of every facet that compiles our existence. It doesn’t solely focus on saving and bettering our planet. It tackles industry, poverty, indifference, humanity, etc… Everything is entangled and attached in this metaphorical web and each aspect is torn down until its roots are bare. There are a lot of wrongs that need to be righted in our current state and awareness is a huge step that seemingly the majority of us are afraid or unwilling to take. I’m not trying to preach as I am just as clueless and motionless as the next when it comes to eco-preservation. It is simply gratifying to know that some are taking the initiative to better our world. It might sound cliche or corny, nonetheless, it is something that needs to be dealt with in order to fortify our existence and evolution.
I think that is enough of a disembowelment towards our humanity, existence, and the film itself in general. I’ll move on to the technical aspects of the film and its performances. “The East” stars the aforementioned Brit Marling, Alexander Skarsgard, and Ellen Page. The biggest surprise, well, at least for me anyway, was Alexander Skarsgard’s performance, he easily dominated the entire film. Page and Marling were also incredibly impressive, but not on the same scale. Possibly because I expected them to be terrific and I had no idea what to expect from Skarsgard. Considering the significance of the film, overshadowing the star-power was a concern entering the theatre. However, this turned out to be a wasted worry as the cast, in its entirety, matched the story’s intensity, subtlety, and brilliance. As for Zat Batmanglij, he continues to perfect his craft as “The East” holds, without question his best work from behind the camera.
Tremendously acted, superbly filmed, and just impeccably solid all the way through. “The East” is an immaculate depiction of our society, its flaws, and how we can ultimately correct them.
The East: 8.5 out of 10.
Despite an ending that leaves a bit too much for the imagination to chew on. “Sound of My Voice” is an entrancing thriller with a pair of phenomenal performances from its two leads. Rising above its restricted budget with hauntingly beautiful content and an unsettling hypnotic effect. What is most disturbingly scary about “Sound of my Voice” is the impending vulnerability that is near impossible to resist. As the story progresses, we are forced to abandon this initial feeling of invincibility until it completely trails off into unfamiliarity. Ultimately, we are forced to accept that there are things that we do not know, that we don’t have an answer for. It’s a bittersweet, tingling experience. While the thrilling factor does tail off slightly. It is efficiently replaced with an undistinguishable yearning for answers to the unknown.
Peter (Denham) is a substitue teacher living in Los Angeles with his girlfriend Lorna (Vicius). The two are embarking on their first undercover journalism project. The target is a small cult run by the mysterious and beautifully striking Maggie (Marling). After Peter and Lorna finish the long and excruciating initiation tests, the cult deems them ready to finally meet Maggie. Upon stripping, showering, changing clothes, and being blindfolded. Peter and Lorna are taken in a van with other new recruits to an undisclosed location. Upon completing the final test, which is a secret handshake, Peter and Lorna come face to face with Maggie. She claims to have woken up naked, in a bathtub, with no memories or knowledge of who she is. Eventually regaining her strength and some mental imagery, Maggie concludes she is a time-traveler from the year 2054.
Directed and co-written by Zal Batmanglij. Who appears to have finally broken through after his directorial debut, The Recordist, was slightly subpar. Now, he has arguably one of the most anticipated films of 2013 in “The East” and seems well on his way to making a name for himself. The same can be said for the radiant and mesmerizing Brit Marling. Who not only stars in the film, but co-wrote it as well. Marling is that rare breed of beauty, brains, and brawn and is slowly emerging as one of the top actresses in the business. Marling, best known for her multi-faceted role in “Another Earth,” is garnering more attention from high-profile gigs. After starring alongside Robert Redford and Shia LaBeouf in the recently released, “The Company You Keep.” Marling is set to co-star Batmanglij’s “The East” with Ellen Page and Alexander Skarsgard.
Apart from a jittery, premature, seemingly non-existent final act. “Sound of my Voice” almost plays its indie, low budget characteristics perfectly. Nevertheless, by the time the climax roles around, it’s exceedingly hard to stay mad at Batmanglij and Marling. In the end, these tiny inconsistencies are translucent and easily forgiven. One thing that Marling and company know definitively is that there is a vast difference between seductive and sedating. Which is why they’re able to exploit these exceptional traits. Using them to lure the viewer in and then begin lulling us into a state of defencelessness. Concluding in the audiences inability to conjure up individualistic thoughts and ideals, effectively simulating the main objective of a cult. “Sound of my Voice” and its creators not only know what they’re doing, but are able to do it astoundingly well.
Besides Marling, the cast features Christopher Denham, who is absolutely skyrocketing and the diverse Nicole Vicius. Without question, Marling gives the most illuminated performance as a devious and immaculate cult leader from the future. Her voice carries a depth filled with harmony and pleasure, and for such a transience thing, it has remarkable ambience. Nearly matching Marling’s exquisite portrayal is Denham. His pretentiousness and anger, however misinformed, is totally believable. Heading under cover to infiltrate a dangerous cult. Denham delivers the steady-handed, emotionally vacant goods. Lost in the charisma of Marling and Denham’s performances is Vicius, who does a terrific job in her supporting role. Without her as somewhat of a foundation, the film would helplessly falter.
Unbearably tense and at times vividly horrific. “Sound of My Voice” is an outstanding thriller filled with resonating performances from the entire cast.
Sound of My Voice: 8 out of 10. | 2019-04-26T12:44:18Z | https://thecinemamonster.wordpress.com/2013/06/ |
The government will hold a summit of drugs experts and police later as it attempts to tackle the issue of so-called "legal highs".
Home Office minister Norman Baker said the substances, mostly created in laboratories in East Asia, were a "very serious issue" for public health.
They were dangerous because people buying the hallucinogenic drugs did not know what was in them, he added.
The government has imposed bans on more than 250 legal highs.
They are officially known as "new psychoactive substances", with several new types coming on to the market each week.
Substances that produce similar effects to illegal drugs (such as cocaine and ecstasy) but are not controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act.
This is because there is not enough research about them to base a decision on.
Legal highs are marketed at young people and presented in bright packaging.
Mr Baker said they were readily available, even reportedly being sold from ice cream vans outside schools, adding: "That's not at all acceptable."
He will be meeting experts on Thursday to discuss the best ways of keeping up with the influx of legal highs.
He told the BBC that the Home Office had been looking at models around the world, such as Ireland, where a blanket ban on new substances has been brought in, and New Zealand, where legal highs are dealt with as a health issue.
The latest official UK figures show 68 deaths were linked to legal highs in 2012, up from 10 in 2009.
Mr Baker said: "This is a growing problem. Some of these substances are very dangerous and can and do lead to deaths.
"The way they're marketed and presented suggests to people that they are legal and safe. But sometimes they are not legal and they are certainly not safe."
He also said there were "no simple solution".
Mr Baker said the summit and a separate review would inform government policy, which was expected to be turned into legislation at some stage.
The government announced in January that the UK was opting out of planned European Commission rules on legal highs, arguing that they would make banning them slower and "fetter" efforts to deal with the problem. | 2019-04-22T23:38:52Z | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-26359210 |

EGG-CELLENT DAY Apparently Hannah Lee couldn’t wait until Easter Sunday for her hard-boiled eggs. Operation Freedom Paws’ Annual Easter Egg Hunt is an important fundraiser for the non-profit organization.
What do you get when you combine the Easter Bunny, kids, dogs, and a charity whose mission is to train service dogs to assist veterans in need? The result was Operation Freedom Paws’ Annual Easter Egg Hunt, where for $5 kids and parents had good wholesome fun on a perfect Spring day, while helping to match service dogs with veterans.
Operation Freedom Paws is a 501 (3) c non-profit organization that takes dogs from shelters and rescue groups, then matches them up with veterans who train them as service dogs. When the training is complete, the dogs are matched with veterans or people with disabilities. The 48-week program comes at no cost to clients.
For a dog to qualify as a service dog, it needs to be able to perform an assortment of tasks defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act. Duties could range from letting a veteran know when to take their medication, informing them of an oncoming seizure, or to act as a calming agent when they’re in a large crowd.
While the Annual Easter Egg Hunt is a lot of fun—along with being an important fundraiser— organizing all the details for the day can be an arduous task that takes a lot of time. Lucky for Cortani and event organizer Megan Wenholz, they had help from over 40 volunteers.
Along with fun, another goal of the event was to educate the public about the vital work that service dogs perform.
Not every dog can become a service dog, but any dog breed— from a German Shepard to a ShiTzu—can become a service dog. | 2019-04-18T10:17:37Z | http://gilroydispatch.com/2018/04/05/dogs-join-easter-bunny-in-fundraiser/ |
What does it look like when the Spirit of God is at work in your church?
To answer that question, we’re first going to look at the comparison Paul makes in Ephesians 5:18.
This comparison is basically the setup for the rest of the verse and so if you’re going to understand the rest of the passage, it helps to begin with this comparison. When Paul says “and do not get drunk with wine, which is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit” he’s making a comparison. It’s actually probably better to say he’s making a contrast and it’s a contrast that at first seems a little strange for us.
I understand that we’re not supposed to get drunk with wine and I understand that we’re supposed to be filled with the Spirit but why does Paul mention these two things back-to-back? Why does he say “and do not get drunk with wine” and then in his mind he thinks that is an appropriate contrast to being filled with the Spirit?
The reason Paul mentions these two commands back-to-back as a “put off” and a “put on” is because he’s really describing two radically different kinds of lifestyles. He’s talking about two radically different ways of living. The first way of living, “do not get drunk with wine,” is a foolish lifestyle. If you look down at the text you’ll see how Paul commanded us in verse 15, he says, “Look carefully then how you walk. Not as unwise but as wise.” And then in verse 17 he says, “Therefore do not be foolish.” This way of living that he describes at the beginning of verse 18 is just an expression of how a foolish person lives.
Being controlled by a desire for earthly pleasure is living this life in a foolish way like an animal.They are thirsty, these people, and the thing they look to to satisfy their thirst is earthly pleasure which is why this is such a good place for us to start as a church. When we think about: is the Spirit of God working in this church? here’s the question we need to begin with: where as a church are we looking to for ultimate satisfaction? We’re talking about control.
Is the Spirit of God filling this church? Well, what is it that is really in control of what we do and what we think and the way we live our lives out? Is it the same thing as the world? A desire for pleasure, earthly pleasure? Is our appetite for earthly pleasure what controls us? Is that the center of our lives? Are we controlled by a lust for more? We need to ask that because there’s a lot of religious activity that is trying to use God the same way a drunk uses alcohol. A drunk looks to alcohol and stuffs his face with alcohol because of his passion for pleasure now and that’s the way many people are in terms of their relationship with God. The reason they’re excited about church, the reason they come to church, why they do what they do at church is all about pleasure now. How can I use God to get what I want now?
What happens when we’re controlled by earthly pleasures and not the Spirit, it produces chaos in our lives and in our relationships. Paul says it’s debauchery. It leads to wildness.
It’s kind of like, I think, if you can imagine you enter a room, there’s a lot of people, this is the foolish lifestyle, this is the way many people are living in their life, it’s the opposite of being controlled by the Spirit, but there are many people, and it’s sort of like if you enter a room and you can imagine in this room there are all kinds of instruments, there is a drum, there is a guitar, there is a piano, there is a keyboard, there is a trumpet. And these people enter the room and with the foolish person, the foolish people, it’s like they go into the room and they’re taking these instruments which could make beautiful music but they’re going wild just playing these instruments as loudly as they can with no clue how the instruments are supposed to work and that’s what’s happening in our world. God has filled this world with all sorts of instruments that give him glory and are intended to bring us pleasure but the world doesn’t know how to use them in a way that honors God and so what we hear is chaos, chaos. Loud crazy chaos.
And one of the ways we can tell something is happening in our church is that we are in the process of stopping misusing the instruments God’s placed in this world and as a result that loud crazy chaotic noise is being turned down a bit in our lives and in our relationships. Meaning, more specifically, that the church that is filled with the Spirit has turned and is turning from being controlled by desire for earthly pleasures like alcohol. They’re not foolishly trying to find ultimate satisfaction in things that are not satisfying and instead they’re being driven by a thirst for something that does satisfy, something that does last, something that is more significant than earthly pleasure and that is the gospel, God and the person and work of Jesus Christ.
So, if we want to know if we are filled with the Spirit, the first place to look is at this comparison.
What is controlling you? What is it that controls you?
The days are evil, where do you turn to for satisfaction? Are you stuffing your face with more and more earthly pleasure now, is that what controls you? Well, that’s the opposite of a life that is controlled by the Holy Spirit.
Why is it important to gather as a church week after week?
We are looking at Hebrews 10:19-25 to answer that question.
As you look at verses 22 through 25 you see that after laying the groundwork in verses 19-21, (this is who you are, and this is who Jesus is), the writer of Hebrews draws out three main implications for our life together as a church.
I think those three implications give us a good grid for what’s supposed to be happening when we gather as a church.
The first purpose we get together has to do with God. Obviously.
If we have the right to free access to God and that right has been purchased for us at such a high price, the blood of His Son, then we ought to use it.
Can you imagine if God had said to Adam after he was kicked out of the garden of Eden, that he had the right once again to go back into the garden, where he would enjoy that special access to God, what would Adam have done, of course he would have gone back in? And can you imagine an Israelite, walking around the tabernacle and being told, he could enter into the holy of holies in order to enjoy God’s special presence, what he would have done? He would have been frightened I think, but what a privilege.
And the writer of Hebrews is saying in a sense, that is what God has done for us through Christ, he’s made it possible for us all to enter the special presence of God, through the work of Jesus and of course, with this kind of privilege open to us, we should use it.
We gather together for God-centered reasons. We gather together to commune with God, to approach Him, to worship and pray.
We need this more than we need anything else in our lives, we need to be with God, to draw near, and how we do that, exactly?
A big part of how we do that is through community. That’s why these commands are tied together here. It’s not just drawing near in your prayer closet, though you need to do that, but here it’s us drawing near.
Now, that I hope should be pretty obvious. But, what I like as I look at verse 22, is how the writer gives us some specific instructions on the way we should approach God as we gather.
Let us draw near with a true heart. Let us draw near in full assurance of faith. With our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
In other words, when we gather to approach God, our worship should be sincere.
Draw near with a true heart tells us that we are not gathering together to manipulate or fool God into giving us what we want through our religious activity.
This is a drawing near that should start with a sincere desire for God and a willingness to obey Him.
I would hope that would mark our weekly get togethers, that we are coming to God with people who are done with playing games.
Second, our worship should be confident.
Draw near with full assurance of the faith tells us that we are not gathering together because we are frightened about God’s attitude towards us. This is a drawing near that is motivated by a confidence and certainty that God is for us because of what we know is true from the gospel.
And third, our worship should be based on a genuine, existing relationship with God.
He says, draw near with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water, and honestly that is a little bit of a complicated phrase, what does it mean, but at the very least, notice it is past tense which means it is something that is done and it is imagery, we are talking about people who are forgiven – their hearts have been sprinkled clean and who have been identified as Christians – their bodies have been washed with pure water – which may mean the same thing as hearts sprinkled basically, it could be synonymous, or it could mean they have identified themselves with the body of Christ through baptism.
Obviously, we love if people who aren’t Christians come and join us on Sundays, that is great, they have a chance to hear the gospel, but this gathering, is primarily for Christians; the goal isn’t to get a lot of non-Christians to like what we do on Sundays, we come together as believers to worship God and to be changed by God and we go out from here to share the gospel with the lost and make disciples.
A second purpose of our gathering together is found in verse 23, and it has to do with you.
We as believers, we have this amazing future salvation in store for us, that’s part of our basic confession, but right now, there are a lot of things that can tempt us to lose sight of that hope or give up on that hope. I picture it a little like being in the middle of the ocean hanging on to a plank of wood, waiting for the plane to come rescue us, and we know it’s coming, but sometimes we get tired, treading water out there, and we want to give up and give in, and a big part of the purpose of this book of Hebrews is to encourage us to persevere.
But this persevering isn’t only an individual thing, to keep hanging on to our hope, God’s given us help, and one of the primary helps we have is each other.
This is something the writer says more clearly back in Hebrews 3, verses 12 and 13.
Which is a warning. Take care. Watch out. There is a danger you face.
What is that danger you face?
It is that you develop an evil, unbelieving heart and what will that heart do, it will cause you to fall away from the living God.
How do we take care then? How do we watch out?
Deep, biblical, relationships, that’s how you watch out that you don’t develop an evil, unbelieving heart.
How serious is this though? What happens if you don’t develop these kinds of relationships?
What happens if you are not exhorting one another day after day is that sin lies to you and it lies to you so much that your heart which once might have been soft towards the truth slowly grows harder and harder until you can characterize it as evil and it leads you to fall away from the living God, in other words, you stop holding fast to your confession of hope.
There are some people who think of themselves as really strong spiritually, but if you don’t have regular relationships with other believers, where you are gathering together to remind each other of the truth, then it doesn’t matter how strong you are right now, it’s not going to be too long until you are fairly weak.
I could be the strongest guy in the universe physically, but if I don’t eat for two weeks, you know I am not going to be that strong any longer, and the same is true spiritually, we gather, because you need these gathers if you are going to hold fast to your confession of hope.
A third reason we gather is each other.
When the New Testament talks about why we get together, the primary reason it gives is to help each other grow spiritually. We might think the primary reason is to worship, and of course it is to worship, but we can worship God anywhere, obviously and we need to, one of the specific reasons this gathering is so important is because it is a unique opportunity to grow spiritually as believers.
In other words, one of the primary ways we obey this command to stir up one another to love and good works, is through this weekly gathering that we have. This is how Paul when he talks about spiritual gifts and the way they operate in the church, this is how he saw the purpose of our gatherings.
This is why we do what we do when we gather. It’s for helping each other love God, obey God, and do what’s right.
In fact, this is interesting and I think we sometimes miss it, but this is a big part of why we sing.
You say, why do I sing in church? To praise God. Yeah of course. To encourage myself.
But Paul tells us also, it is to help each other grow.
I think we have all met people whose basic approach to life is that of a taker. Every relationship, their default mode, is to take and they don’t really think outside of that, about how they can serve the other person. And there are people who approach these gatherings that we have as a church like that. This getting together is about them. If they feel like it they come. A good time on Sunday is when they had a good time on Sunday. That was good worship service because it made me feel good. They, what they want, their perspective, it is the lens through which they view everything, they are takers. But that’s not the right way for us to approach this gathering, this is about helping each other, love more, obey better. You come here as a believer for each other.
That’s why I preach and why you should listen, you should be listening so you can learn better how to love God and other people throughout the week. That’s part of why you give so I can study all week long, so I can help you be better at loving God and others. That’s why the guys lead the singing, they are thinking how can we encourage the people who come to hold on to their hope, to see the glory of God, how can we lift them up. That’s why some of us clap our hands when we sing, we are thinking, how can I help this other person focus on God better and feel more comfortable to express their love for God. That’s why many of you get here early, so you can talk to others and get to know them. That’s why some of you have developed the cd ministry and done bulletins, you are thinking how can I help my brothers and sisters in Christ. That’s why some of you try to talk to people who are new here for the first time, that’s why you invite people to your gospel communities, that’s why you stay around for a little while after church because you want to see how you can be an encouragement.
I don’t want you to think of these gatherings on Sunday as a show that you come to watch, because a show doesn’t care about you, if you are there or not, it doesn’t matter, someone is going to fill the seat. Instead, think of these gatherings as a meeting of the family, and so you don’t usually go to family gatherings in order to be entertained or to get your needs met, you go because you love the people, and you want to be of help to them.
Specifically, the writer says you need to consider how to spur one another on.
That’s part of why don’t give up on gathering with your church family.
What he’s saying is you need to have a group of believers, whom you are specifically thinking deeply about helping. That you are so committed to, that you are willing to put yourself out so they can move forward in Christ, and obviously obeying this command is not going to end with our gatherings on Sundays, but it needs to start here.
Why is it important to get together with your local church week after week after week?
We are looking at Hebrews 10:19-25 to try to understand a biblical answer to this question.
We began by looking at what it says about our need for gathering together. Today I want us to think about what it teaches about the reasons for our gathering.
In other words, we are going to take a step back here for a minute and think about the motivations for getting together like this. I know that some of us don’t always like to think about why we do what we do, but we need to, because motivations matter, and what we are after is not just getting together for the sake of getting together or doing what we are supposed to, there are reasons.
If you look at the text, you will notice that the writer is making an argument.
We know that because he begins with the word therefore.
Therefore, these are the implications of what I have just said for the way in which you live.
That’s an argument, that means there’s a reason behind these commands, this is in other word, in light of what I have just said, that’s why this is significant.
And honestly, you know, as we come to this text, I think that word therefore can be a little intimidating because we are in Hebrews 10 and we might wonder how in the world can we gain the argument of the whole book of Hebrews quickly enough to be able to understand what we need to in order to follow the argument and appreciate the implications that we find in these verses before us.
But the good news is as we keep reading these verses we see that the writer of Hebrews helps us by summarizing what we need to know in verses 19 through 21.
You can see how he does that when says, “Therefore brothers, since we have” in verse 19 and then again in verse 21, “and since we have…” and when he uses that word since, it is kind of like he’s quickly drawing our attention to the main points he wants to have in our minds as we think about the exhortations we are going to read about our lives as a church.
And those two main points are, verse 19, one, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is through his flesh.
And two, verse 21, since, we have a great priest over the house of God.
Let us, let us, let us.
So you can sort of see the flow of the passage. It’s two realities, two sinces, and three implications. It’s kind of like here are your privileges as a church and then here are your responsibilities, and what I wanted you to see and this is what I am emphasizing, is that he doesn’t simply tell us our responsibilities, what to do as a church when we gather, he gives us reasons, he helps us understand the significance of our gathering together, he makes an argument.
And that’s important because there are lots of people throughout the world that gather together for lots of different reasons, but when you think about this gathering, the gathering together of the church, there’s a unique kind of reason for it, and it’s important you understand that unique kind of reason because it’s not really all that exciting if you just go to church and attend, but you don’t really understand the gospel reasons behind going. What we are hoping for when we talk about gathering is not just people who come weekly and don’t really know why they are getting together.
Now if you want to know why a lot of people go to church and why they make a priority out of gathering, it is because they think going to church and what they do at church, somehow that activity can make them right with God or get God to like them or keep them right with God.
But that’s not the reasons we gather. The reasons we gather have to do with what God has already done for us and is doing for us through Jesus.
The first reason the writer of Hebrews gives us in verse 19 is because we have the right to come into God’s presence.
He says, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh.
Which might sound funny to you because of the word holy place and this talk of a curtain, being Jesus’ flesh. But really what he’s doing when he uses those ideas is trying to help us appreciate what a big privilege we have as a church by connecting the story of our lives to the great story God’s been writing in the universe.
There were these people in the Old Testament, you know them, the Israelites, and God had a unique relationship with them, they were His people, and they had a unique privilege in that God dwelt with them in a special way, in this place that was called the tabernacle and later the temple. This was like God’s house. And in that tabernacle there was a special part, called the holy place and then even beyond that and behind a curtain, there was a place they called the holy of holies, which was like God’s inner sanctuary and of course there were all kinds of rules about how to go into the holy place and approach God’s special presence, and then even who could go into the holy place, it wasn’t just anybody, it was a select group of people, and they had to make all kinds of preparations to do it and then into the holy of holies, only the high priest could go, and he had to take blood, he couldn’t just enter, he had to offer a sacrifice for his sin so that he wouldn’t be consumed when he came close to God.
What the writer of Hebrews is saying here is as he turns from this story in the Old Testament to look at the church is that we as believers, we all have the confidence, and many would actually translate that word authorization, because they don’t think it so much refers to our attitude as it does to something objective, real, and what he’s telling us is, we all have the right to enter the holy places, we all have the right to enter the inner heavenly sanctuary of God.
That’s really the first thing for me that makes this gathering of people so significant; it is that the church is a gathering of people who all have the right to stand in the presence of a holy God. I mean, imagine that. There are all kinds of people all over the world who are gathering together, and they are even groups of people who are gathering together to worship, and they are doing all these things, but it’s of no use, because they are children of wrath, they are enemies of God, they are still in their sins, how is that exciting, but when you are with a group of believers, you are with the people of God, you are with what you might call a set apart or holy priesthood, you are with a group of people, who have absolutely free access to the majestic and holy Creator of the Universe.
And that makes what is going on when those people get together pretty significant, because God looks on it with favor, and we know He does because it’s not based on their efforts, but this authorization or right to come into His presence, is based on the work of Christ, the writer of Hebrews says we have this authorization by the blood of Jesus, and then he explains it further, by the new and living way that he opened up for us through the curtain, that is through his flesh.
When we gather on Sundays, this is not a group of desperate people trying to manipulate God into liking them, this is people who have the right to be before God because of what God’s done for them through Jesus.
And we might add to that, what God’s doing for them through Jesus, because the writer of Hebrews does.
A second way that the writer of Hebrews demonstrates the significance of our privileges as a church is in verse 21, where he says, “since we have a great priest over the house of God” and in saying that, it’s like he’s drawing our attention from each other and this free access we have to the one who is in charge of us and what’s going on, the head of the church, and that’s Jesus and what he’s saying is that Jesus, this one we come to worship, is not dead, he’s very much alive and he is at work, as priest over his house, which is the church.
And honestly if you want to know better what that means, you might just study the book of Hebrews, because there is so much of the book of Hebrews that is written to explain that but for now, what I want you to understand is that as we talk about gathering together as a church, we are not starting with, hey to be a good person and to get God to like you, then you need to do this and go to church every week, instead we are starting with, man look at what you have as believers, you have the right to enter into God’s presence, and you have this glorious Savior who is alive and who is at work, ministering, serving on your behalf, and that reality, those truths aren’t just there to look at, they have implications, they should change you.
I know and you know that there are people who might look at the church gathering together, and ask what is so big about that?
What is so big about that is what these people get to do. They have access to God. And what is so big about that is the One they worship, the One is who in charge of them, it’s the great High priest, Jesus Christ, God’s Son.
That’s the reason for our gathering, it is the gospel. And you know maybe I can add to that, these truths are so important to get right, because they should change the way we gather as well. If we are just coming here without knowing these reasons, we are going to tear each other apart in the long run. But, look, we are coming here confident in Christ, knowing that He’s the purpose, He’s the one who saves us, and that, believing those truths enables us to have real fellowship and community. | 2019-04-19T22:48:54Z | https://joshuamack.blog/tag/church-2/ |

Another fact expected in a single sun system is that comets should come from all directions more or less randomly. But historical comet pattern data shows comet paths tend to be non-random. Fully 1/3 of 82 long cycle comets come from a narrow belt.
This could lend support to a binary theory whereby a large, distant mass disturbs comets. Other scientists have come to a similar conclusion and some think it may be a 10th planet or failed binary with a large orbital period. Presumably, they are not aware of the evidence to indicate our Sun is curving through space and that we may be in an active binary system.

The owners of restaurants and souvenir stores, flower stalls and gourmet food markets in an area known to residents simply as the "village", they have all been forced to close since Monday's devastating fire at the UNESCO World Heritage landmark. Few at the gathering Thursday morning in the Quasimodo cafe -- named after the hunchback in Victor Hugo's celebrated novel set at the cathedral -- seemed optimistic about the chances of re-opening in the near future. Police are letting only residents and business owners onto the River Seine island known as the Ile de la Cite where the cathedral stands, choking off the tourist traffic that is their lifeblood. | 2019-04-21T02:33:06Z | http://www.whmsoft.net/services/news.php?language=english&news_topic=top_news |

In “Japan's Labor Shortage Is Quite Serious, EY-Parthenon Says,” Bloomberg Daybreak Asia discusses Japan’s economy.
EY-Parthenon Partner Nobuko Kobayashi explores the government's plan to raise the consumption tax and monetary policy.
Nobuko also highlights the seriousness of the labor shortage in the country, particularly in retail. She notes the role of the “aging, diminishing population” in the shortage, and questions the “viability and sustainably of the retail practices” currently expected by consumers. | 2019-04-20T17:20:21Z | https://www.parthenon.ey.com/po/en/about/nobuko-kobayashi-interviewed-by-bloomberg-daybreak-asia |
Farming of battle points will additionally be achieved by doing nothing i.e, by going AFK (Away from Keyboard).
A player may simply choose a secure spot in the map and lay there hoping to last for a while. By being idle and doing nothing the player accumulates the fundamental in-game battle points and the extra ones based on survival ranking.
Although this is less of a hack and a lot of of a trick to induce battle points while not actually spending hours taking part in the sport, this issue was addressed by the PUBG producer himself because the �idler problem� and a trick that may be used while not the concern of getting banned.
With this easy trick of AFK, quite a number of hackers have come up with a Bot that will farm battle points for you automatically.
There are multiple versions and codes accessible online (a number of those who have been discontinued).
The basic plan is to write down a code to maneuver the player randomly at some interval and build them auto jump when plane arrives on the map or build them swim when underneath water. | 2019-04-24T14:11:28Z | http://el-semanario.net/cheat-pubg-mobile-skin.html |

Debussy’s observation, ‘Music begins where words end’ is the tag-line of the Philharmonia’s Lutoslawski Centenary series, Woven Words. And how true it proved: last night’s opening concert began with a film of Esa-Pekka Salonen discussing his relationship with the Polish composer and admiration for his music. There were tantalising glimpses of Lutoslawski conducting, but no sound; his birth-place but no interview. The fragment was from a collection of fine short documentaries on the Philharmonia’s website, which I’d urge anyone to investigate. But it was unnecesary here: as soon as Salonen raised his baton for Musique funèbre, the performance told us everything we needed to know about his passionate relationship to Lutoslawksi’s music.
This extraordinary tour de force was written in memory of Bartók, and evokes the graven, ascetic force of the latter’s art. The 12-tone lament begins in the cellos and winds up in canon through the orchestra with inexorable tread, a shifting tissue of tritones and semitones: the sense of an immense, invasive power is terrifying. One cannot help but think of the invasions the young composer witnessed in his corner of Poland. Salonen conjured magic in the middle movement, Metamorphoses: a hieratic pizzicato melody is edged with tremolo bowing to spine-tingling effect, giving way to bowed lines of searing clarity and beauty. As the texture intensifies and complicates towards the climactic Apogee, the Philharmonia strings achieved a deeply satisfying, penetrating resonance, before unwinding the mourning music back to the voice of a single cello.
Lutoslawski may cut a marginal figure in the narrative of 20th century music now, but that will change: his body of orchestral works with their sensuous French-Slavic sound world and tightly cogent construction are set to endure. And his presence felt very close to this packed audience, many of whom will remember his appearances in London at the first performances of Chain II, with Anne-Sophie Mutter and Chantfleurs et Chantfables at the Proms in 1991. His diminutive, gleaming figure may be lost to us but the legendary Krystian Zimmerman’s explosive performance of his piano concerto exhumed the composer’s spirit.
Always reclusive, and now semi-retired, Zimerman’s touch has lost none of its pellucid quality, infinite tonal variety or virile power. This concerto, written for him, is a riveting, helter-skelter ride, sharing with Bartók’s third a background chatter of birdsong. Beginning tentatively with fluttering wing-beats it gradually draws in the pianist to a dynamic narrative. Only Zimmerman could have voiced the racing lines of the Scherzando with such pungent character, only he could thread his artful variations through the orchestra’s final passacaglia with such compelling poetry. The work sounded new-minted; one of the unforgettable performances of this year.
I almost dreaded the prospect of Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloe after such a momentous first half: the complete ballet has its longeurs, but from the moment the choir began to sing, it was clear Salonen would deliver. This was a high-octane performance with silky woodwind solos, wonderful rhythmic precision from both choir and orchestra and almost painfully bright colours in the RFH acoustic. The Bacchanale ended in a thrilling roar. Ravel’s optimism and opulence threw into relief Lutoslawksi’s pared-down, tightly-threaded weave, the expression of sadder times. Don’t miss the rest of this illuminating series. | 2019-04-18T12:23:48Z | http://www.helenwallace.net/helens-blog/archives/01-2013 |

Well written Lauren. Keep up the great work with your recovery and your blog. You provide alot of useful infomation here. I have been in recovery for almost 39 years (brain injury life is all I have ever known). I have always struggled with reading because of my brain injuries. I can read quick “factual” info like you stated. When I read a book alot of the time Ill miss entire paragraphs and I have too read the page all over again, its very tiring (fatigue). In my case it mainly depends on the author/writers writing style. Very rarely does a writer/author keep me focused. But your writing style does its very easy for me too read. I appreciate that thanks. Keep hanging tough, and keep on smiling.
Thanks for reading Matt. I’m really glad my blog is accessible for you and doesn’t tire you too much! Keep going, I’m rooting for you. | 2019-04-24T05:47:18Z | https://braingirlandcat.com/2015/03/27/the-healing-journey-part-one-mind/ |

This episode is judged kinda harshly, I think. The story is more like the capers and pranks from the beginning of Season 1, so I take is as being more of that style of show. It’s just rocky now that we’ve had the powerful examples of where the show is going. So it’s fine, this is just a goofing around story. Although I still dig the scene with Ginger, Hawkeye and Trapper. It’s too bad she waded away from the show.
And yes, the final bit was farce all the way. That much gold paint would have been pretty expensive! Radar must have done some real deal-making just for a gag.
Merry Christ-MASH! Looking forward to more in 2019!
One of my least favorites from season 1. Many reasons but two major ones 1) Hawkeye and Trapper steal Henry’s gold filling thereby insuring that Henry will continue to be in pain with his tooth and 2) they had a bona fide incident that was going to free them of Frank Burns and they backed out. As we have seen in future episodes, replacement surgeons are relatively easy to get (Winchester, Dupree, Newsome, etc.) so to use the excuse that they might be “overworked” for a while seems extremely weak. This is the same problem I had with a Potter episode where a general wants Hawkeye for his private doctor. When Hawkeye talks his way out of it, Frank asks for a letter of recommendation and Potter, BJ and Hawkeye do everything they can to sabotage his letter of reference.
The closest the TV series came to the Sally Kellerman scene was the episode where Frank started playing practical jokes and Hawkeye eventually collapses the latrine while Frank is having a seat. They could have done something similar with Margaret if they wanted to reproduce a movie scene. | 2019-04-21T12:32:19Z | http://fireandwaterpodcast.com/podcast/mashcast-22-major-fred-c-dobbs/ |
The point flagged above is pretty close to the northeastern tip of the Labrador Peninsula. Few if any people live there or even visit. But in 1977, a geomorphologist named Peter Johnson was in the area on a geological survey, according to the book Amazing Flights and Flyers, when he came across a weather station — equipment used to measure the climate in the area and then transmit it to a central location. That station, unmanned and no longer in use, was no longer sending information to the Canadian weather service, and Johnson didn’t think much of it.
But as it turned out, it wasn’t quite what Johnson thought it was. Yes, it was a weather station, but it wasn’t a Canadian one. It was a German one. And he was the first Canadian — or, for that matter, the first person from the Western Hemisphere — to find it.
And it wasn’t new, either. The Germans built the weather station there in 1943 — during World War II.
During the war, the Germans were at an environmental disadvantage: weather systems in the North Atlantic — a major theater of war — typically move from west to east. The Allies, therefore, had the upper-hand when it came to the forecast, as they (the American and Canadian parts, at least) experienced it back home before it made its way toward Europe. As Wikipedia notes, the Germans tried to overcome this disadvantage by sending U-boats (German submarines) out to monitor the weather, but in order for the U-boats to transmit the data back, they’d have to surface — putting them at risk of detection. There had to be another way.
That better way: permanent installations in the Americas. The Germans sent two U-boats out on that mission; one made it safely to Labrador. On October 22, 1943, it landed in Canada and an armed landing party — including a meteorologist — came ashore. The crew set up the weather station — unofficially known as Weather Station Kurt — and 28 hours later, were back off to sea. This was, as far as we know, the German’s only North American operation during the war that featured armed servicemembers.
It’s likely that Weather Station Kurt transmitted weather data to the Germans for the remainder of the war, but, as it went undiscovered for more than three decades, the U.S. and Canada cannot know for sure. In any event, it’s now been relocated to the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa.

Amrith Bdr Subba's Diary|: When will the right time come, if not now?
When will the right time come, if not now?
Disability is a crosscutting issue and hence, its weight falls on every segment of the society: families, relatives, friends, educators, health workers and the nation as a whole. People with disabilities come from all walks of life and with the rising trend of deformed births, accidents and various diseases, the number of people living with disabilities is certainly increasing in Bhutan. In fact, even those who are not living with disability today are certainly heading towards it if they live long enough. This was the key message we were trying to convey to the Members of Parliament when I and my colleagues from the Disabled Persons’ Association of Bhutan (DPAB) were invited by the Sub-committee on Women and Children on Monday, 14th September 2015 to share the concerns and needs of persons with disabilities in Bhutan. However, the reaction from the Committee and the government was not so encouraging. It’s really sad to know that the government still does not seem to be ready to align its commitment and efforts towards empowering persons with disabilities in the country through legal frameworks.
Bhutan has been signatory to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) since September 2010 and the Royal Government is definitely obliged to ratify the Convention sooner or later. The Convention guarantees equal rights and dignity for persons with disabilities at all aspects of social, economic, political and public life and hence, it is a key human rights instrument that can contribute towards creating an inclusive society for all where people with disabilities enjoy full rights, respect and dignity they are entitled for. So during our presentations to the Sub-committee, we requested the government if the Convention be ratified in the due course of time so that the relevant provisions of the Convention could be incorporated into the existing national laws. But what followed our presentation was quite disheartening. In response to our proposal, we were read out a paragraph from the letter written by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Sub-committee which expressed the concern of the government over the ratification of the UNCRPD at the moment. The government is concerned that Bhutan may not be able to comply with all the requirements of the Convention considering the prevailing constraints of resources in the country. The letter had indicated that the Royal Government of Bhutan is still not ready to accept international commitments on the ground that the right time has not yet arrived.
Now my question is, when will the right time come, if not now? Many people believe that whatever the government is doing for persons with disabilities today is enough and that disability is not yet a national concern. But the realities on the ground are different. We don’t have accessible public infrastructures, disabled-friendly services and special legal protections if required. There is no specific mention of the rights of persons with disabilities in our acts and national policies that give us extra voice to raise our concerns and needs. The government’s current policy of equal opportunities for all is also not fair at times because all persons with disabilities do not possess the same talents and capabilities and as such, they won’t be able to compete with their non-disabled counterparts in many areas. There is certainly a need to reconsider some of the existing policies and introduce systems in place to empower people with disabilities so that they can meaningfully participate in the mainstream society. The mindset of many Bhutanese people has also remained the same over the years despite our consistent efforts to create public awareness on disability issues in the country. For instance, DPAB had trained eight visually impaired people as SPA Therapists in an effort to help them live an independent life upon the completion of the training but none of the resorts the Association approached agreed to employ them although they were certified SPA Therapists. The Management of the resorts was worried that they might land up helping the visually impaired therapist instead. As a result, they had to initiate their own business with support from the Association. This is a very sad reality in Bhutan today. The Civil Service has been the only sector that has been employing persons with disabilities as of now and that too on the basis of equal opportunities for all. So, those who have failed to compete with their non-disabled counterparts are still left at the mercy of their families, relatives and friends.
Considering all those challenges faced by the disability community today, it is felt imperative to have legal instruments in place that can guarantee our voices and provide us with right platforms for sharing our concerns and needs. By demanding the ratification of UNCRPD, we are not asking for the legislation of Disability Act right away. We absolutely agree with the parliament that the implementation of any act will be a challenge but what we are asking the government today is to at least start processing for the ratification of the Convention so that it can be harmonized with our national laws over the time. It’s not true that by ratifying the Convention, the government has to comply with all its provisions. I feel that ratification simply approves the harmonization of relevant clauses from the Convention with our existing national acts and policies. Of course, a significant portion of the Convention is already being in place in Bhutan and if the government ratifies it, we don’t have much to do to achieve the rest. We requested the Sub-committee to reconsider the possibility of processing for the ratification of the Convention once again and they have promised to continue to work with us on the matter. We don’t even have a disability policy as of today. We have been told that GNHC is spearheading the drafting of the disability policy but we have never been involved in any discussion so far, and we are wondering what kind of policy is being drafted without involving us. We have a strong slogan “Nothing about us without us” and we believe that our needs and concerns cannot be assumed. We have been told that the Sub-committee had directed GNHC to work with Disabled Persons’ Organizations (DPOs) while drafting the policy but even they have not received any update till date on the progress of the policy. I hope GNHC is also not waiting for the right time to work on the policy.
I believe that if we keep on waiting for the right time, Bhutan can never move forward with the rest of the world. I think “waiting for the right time” is becoming a mental disease in Bhutan. Whenever we propose to initiate something new, we have the tendency to think that the right time has not come. When His Majesty the Fourth Druk Gyalpo introduced democracy in 2008, many people refused to accept it saying Bhutan was not ready for the change. But when His Majesty the King went ahead with his noble decision, things moved on very well. If we had waited for the right time to have democracy in the country, we would have remained the same even today. So, this was my main argument during our discussion with the Members of Parliament last week. But the Sub-committee members were very considerate about our concerns and they have agreed to call us whenever they have discussions on the issue. I keep my fingers crossed that with the passage of time, things will get better and the government would make right decisions for the wellbeing of all Bhutanese living with disabilities. | 2019-04-25T08:41:59Z | http://www.amrithdiary.com/2015/09/when-will-right-time-come-if-not-now.html |
I’ll never stop loving this series!
Yeah, exactly what Amanda said. As soon as I read this book, I wanted to read Winter. But I also wanted to go back and read Cinder. But I also wanted to go back and read Scarlet. It’s hard to pick a favourite at this point because every book just keeps adding more and more awesomeness to it.
Just the… development of every single character in this book is outstanding. There is not one character that hasn’t changed during the events on the book. Every single character from Cinder down to Scarlet’s grandmother, there is development. No matter how small the character seems.
Amanda is dead on here. Cinder is just shy of 350 pages. Scarlet is over 400 pages. Cress is over 500 pages. And Winter is over 800 pages. Even the “novella”, Fairest is 300 pages! Every single page is detrimental to the story. There is not one sentence in any book that is not needed.
Marissa Meyer has fantastically written this series, each book getting bigger, and making it look like it’s the easiest thing in the world.
Again, Amanda hits it perfectly. This whole series is one for the ages. You’ll be sorry if you don’t read it. I was mad at myself for waiting this long to read it. So go read it! | 2019-04-21T18:08:33Z | http://onabookbender.com/2016/03/23/cress-marissa-meyer-beths-revisit-review/ |

Northern California elopement and wedding photographer—documenting the journey of rad humans in love.
These photos are our collaboration together. I’m here to work with you and for you, delivering images that represent your day, beat by beat.
While you soak in every moment and celebrate, I keep focused on the details that make your wedding unforgettable. It’s your day to be surrounded by friends and family and begin your greatest adventure together. Your photos will bring you back to how you felt in those moments: the bear hugs, the tears, and all the in-betweens that fly by too fast.
I’m Jess, a down-to-earth human who’d rather be outdoors all hours of the day. I’m an adventurous old soul, a dog mama, and photography is my lifelong journey.
Working with Jess was a breeze - she is extremely organized, communicates very clearly, and more than once proved her dependability. She was on time every time, and delivered our files way faster than we expected. She also captured way more of the day than we thought possible, I'm still not sure how she had time to photograph everything on her own. The thing that really sticks out is that Jess has an incredible ability to be everywhere and nowhere all at once. Never obtrusive, she's mastered how to disappear so you don't even know she's around, yet she somehow manages to not miss a moment.
Jess is genuine, kind, easy to work with, and the quality of her work is phenomenal. Seeing as you'll spend almost as much time with your photographer as you do with your partner on wedding day, you'll want to choose someone you really like. It was an absolute joy having Jess alongside us on our wedding day, and the images she captured were pure perfection. | 2019-04-23T01:03:14Z | https://jessrankin.com/ |
Ahead of it's premier at the 65th Berlin International Film Festival, a trailer for Peter Greenaway's Eisenstein in Guanajuato has come our way, telling the story of Battleship Potemkin director Sergei Eisenstein and his time in Mexico in 1931. Freshly rejected by Hollywood and under increasing pressure to return to Stalinist Russia, Esenstein's time in Mexico helped shape the rest of his career. Like all of Greenaway's work, which includes The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover and Nightwatching, this look simply gorgeous, and offers a stunning look at the mind of true cinematic genius. | 2019-04-24T16:05:31Z | http://www.themoviebit.com/2015/02/trailer-and-poster-for-eisenstein-in.html |
When Andrew Bogut fractured his tibia literally 56 seconds into his first game with the Cleveland Cavaliers in March of 2017 after signing with them through the buyout market, there was uncertainty about whether or not the Australian big man would play in the NBA again. Despite helping the Golden State Warriors to a championship in 2015, Bogut was 33, and would be coming off another major lower body injury.
So Bogut was skeptical when the Los Angeles Lakers offered to sign him to a partially-guaranteed contract for the 2017-2018 season, and didn’t want to move his family back to the U.S. if he was just going to be cut halfway through the year. As Bogut told Mark Medina of The Mercury News, the Lakers initially informed Bogut that, as long as he was healthy, they’d allow his contract to become guaranteed and play with the team the entire year. They then released him ahead of the trade deadline, upsetting the Australian big man. | 2019-04-22T18:02:55Z | https://uproxx.com/dimemag/andrew-bogut-lakers-lied-to-me-release-warriors/ |
Insidious cigarette smoke penetrates deep down into your carpets, leaving a very stale and unwelcome smell. But using this simple process, you can make your place bearable again.
Schedule a vacation or a weekend away. Time is an important feature of this cure.
Buy several pounds of plain baking soda.
Make sure your vacuum cleaner is in good working condition and is well stocked with a nice new bag and a few replacements.
Spread the soda. One hour before you leave your house for your vacation, liberally sprinkle a large amount of baking soda all over your rug, making sure to hit all exposed areas.
Go back over the rug and sprinkle more baking soda over the same areas. Since the baking soda will be absorbing the smoke odor, you need to be sure and use plenty.
Close your door, lock it up, and go away.
Vacuum. When you come home from your getaway, immediately vacuum the rug.
Change the bag. Dispose of the bag outside the house and vacuum again your home will smell nice and fresh.
Using Simple Green is another great way to get the stain out. Close your door when applying as well.
You could also get febreeze, it's scented and works well at getting nasty odors out of carpets.

This medical malpractice action arises from an iridotomy performed on the plaintiff’s left eye, which resulted in post-operative complications. The Trial Court granted defendant’s motion for partial summary judgment on plaintiff’s informed consent claim, asserting plaintiff’s failure to provide expert medical evidence that the medical community knew of the risk of her specific injury. After hearing conflicting testimony regarding plaintiff’s negligence claim, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the defendants. Plaintiff moved for a new trial claiming the dismissal of her informed consent claim was in error, and the jury verdict was against the weight of the evidence. The motion for a new trial was denied.
On appeal the informed consent claim was framed as whether a defendant-doctor should have been aware of the risk because it was well known in the medical community at the time of surgery. Here, plaintiff argued that such proof was established, not by expert testimony, but rather by the defendant-doctor himself. Citing an exception to the general rule requiring expert testimony, the Court held that where the defendant concedes the risk was known, but claims the patient was informed of the risk, no expert evidence is needed. Deposition testimony of the defendant revealed he admitted past patients suffered from similar post-operative complaints as plaintiff. The Appellate Division reversed the dismissal of plaintiff’s informed consent claim based on this testimony. The jury verdict for the remaining claims was affirmed, because the jury properly reached its conclusion by crediting the defendants testimony over the plaintiff. | 2019-04-18T20:38:06Z | https://www.njattyblog.com/blog/expert-testimony-not-always-needed-support-informed-consent-claim-sharon-parker-v-joseph-ortiz/ |

Kirsten and Dustin could not have had a more perfect day for their wedding on the lake. Planned by Elise Events and captured by Gagewood Photography, their lakeside wedding at West Shore Café with florals by B&B Designs was truly breathtaking. Tahoe was always a place close to Kirsten and Dustin's hearts. They had both grown up coming to Tahoe with their families and then as a couple and even got engaged while hiking in Tahoe. So when it came to planning their wedding picking Tahoe has the venue was the quickest and easiest part of their wedding planning!
It was very important to them that the wedding be as natural as possible and really focus on the organic beauty of Tahoe. But their main focus was just to try and enjoy the day and each other and the company of their family and friends as much as possible. | 2019-04-24T08:34:04Z | https://www.tahoeunveiled.com/lake-tahoe-weddings/kirsten-amp-dustin39s-lake-tahoe-summer-wedding/ |

The lobelia plant with its violet, pink, or white flowers is native to the eastern North American continent. Smoked by Native Americans, it contains lobeline, a chemical similar to nicotine. While cultivated for its beauty, lobelia is useful for its calming effects and for the support it provides for the respiratory system. Nature’s Sunshine Lobelia Essence consists of 44-47 percent alcohol, glycerin, and apple cider vinegar and can be used in cosmetics or in baths. | 2019-04-25T04:07:42Z | https://caringsunshine.com/supplements/NaturesSunshine/products/lobelia.aspx |
Japanese consumer prices rose for the ninth consecutive month in February while unemployment fell to a more than a six-year low, data shows, giving a boost to Tokyo's efforts at reigniting an economy plagued by years of deflation.
Stripping out volatile fresh food prices, "core" consumer prices rose 1.3 per cent on-year in February, the same rate for December and January, according to the internal affairs ministry on Friday.
Excluding energy prices and foodstuffs, nationwide consumer prices rose 0.8 per cent on-year in February, while separate figures showed Japan's jobless rate fell to its lowest point since 2007, the year before the global financial crisis.
The results are good news for a policy drive under Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, dubbed Abenomics, which is aimed at reversing falling prices and tepid growth. But the inflation jump was largely due to Japan's rising post-Fukushima energy costs.
Pricey fossil-fuel imports surged after the 2011 atomic disaster, which forced the shutdown of the nation's nuclear reactors.
The rising prices come as Japanese consumers brace for a tax rise next week, the country's first since the late Nineties.
February's headline inflation figure was in line with the Bank of Japan's view that the core consumer prices index will stay around 1.3 per cent over the northern spring and summer, underpinned by inflation expectations, and then pick up its pace of growth after that.
The central bank dramatically stepped up its monetary easing a year ago, flooding Japan's economy with ever more cash in a bid to beat deflation and bring about two per cent inflation by spring next year.
It has since pledged repeatedly to unleash further measures if it becomes clear the current policy isn't enough to hit the target.

It might have seemed like it’s been a little bit quiet this week, however, that’s far from the truth around here. After Pig Island, I was deep in study-land cramming for an exam for my culinary class. I was also preparing a guest post for Chef Dennis Littley who is the author of the fantastic recipe and cooking information website A Culinary Journey. The tagline for his site is, “Yes, Virginia, there is more to life than takeout and the microwave,” echoing my own sentiments about making great dishes in your own home.
Chef Dennis and I first met face-to-face at The Big Summer Potluck a little over a month ago. We had actually “met” via Google+ and a mutual food blogger friend, the fabulous Mango Queen, prior to that. He’s been an invaluable resource for me with some of the issues I’ve faced from time-to-time on my website, and I just thoroughly enjoy reading what he’s been getting up to in his kitchen. It’s also just been such a pleasure to get to know someone equally passionate about cooking and food and who is an integral part of the food blogging community.
So, please head on over to A Culinary Journey to check out my post about the Indian Fry Bread Tacos from Michael Natkin’s terrific vegetarian cookbook Herbivoracious. I’d been hanging onto this recipe to make when all the tomatoes, squash, peppers, and corn hit peak season. This is a fantastic way to use up your summer produce, especially, if you are like me and just can’t resist loading up on all of it, knowing that it will only be around for a brief moment before we head into fall and winter.
Thanks so much, Betty Ann! I’ll have to see when the “Mid-terms” and “Finals” are. I might be calling you guys up to come over to dinner in the city to be my taste-testers! | 2019-04-18T13:06:05Z | http://www.theexperimentalgourmand.com/2012/09/07/guest-post-on-a-culinary-journey/ |
ACTION SUIT AGAINST ALLIED NEVADA GOLD CORP.
New York – April 3, 2014 – Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP (“Robbins Geller”) (http://www.rgrdlaw.com/cases/alliednevada/) today announced that a class action has been commenced in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada on behalf of purchasers of Allied Nevada Gold Corp. (“Allied Nevada”) (NYSE:ANV; TSX:ANV) common stock during the period between January 18, 2013 and August 5, 2013 (the “Class Period”).
If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than 60 days from April 3, 2014. If you wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests, please contact plaintiff’s counsel, Samuel H. Rudman or David A. Rosenfeld of Robbins Geller at 800/449-4900 or 619/231-1058, or via e-mail at djr@rgrdlaw.com. If you are a member of this class, you can view a copy of the complaint as filed or join this class action online at http://www.rgrdlaw.com/cases/alliednevada/. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.
The complaint charges Allied Nevada and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Allied Nevada is a U.S.-based gold mining and exploration company focused on mining, development and exploring properties throughout the State of Nevada.
The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, defendants issued materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s financial performance and future prospects and failed to disclose adverse facts, including: (a) that one of its three impermeable leach pads, the Lewis leach pad, was beset with undisclosed operating defects and production deficiencies, including, but not limited to, an insufficient supply of fresh water to leach ore and an inadequate solution pumping and piping infrastructure; (b) that in order to remediate the operating defects and production deficiencies at the Lewis leach pad, the Company would need to double the amount of fresh water available at the facility, replace the existing irrigation tubing, piping and pumping infrastructure and seek various regulatory approvals; (c) that the recurring operating defects and production deficiencies at the Lewis leach pad were having a materially adverse effect on the Company’s production costs and operating cash flows; (d) that the Company’s operations were not generating the cash flow necessary to proceed with the construction of the Hycroft Mine mill; (e) that the costs to remediate the operating defects and production deficiencies at the Lewis leach pad were reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future production, production costs and cash flows; (f) that, while Allied Nevada’s newly installed carbon columns increased its solution processing capacity, silver recovery from that process was approximately one-third of the Company’s historical recovery rate; (g) that the Company’s disclosure controls, and the certifications regarding those disclosure controls, were materially false and misleading; and (h) that, based on the foregoing, defendants lacked a reasonable basis for their positive statements about Allied Nevada’s leach pad solutions processing capacity, the Hycroft Mine mill expansion, and the Company’s expected gold and silver production and its expected operating income and cash flows.
According to the complaint, in August 2013, approximately seven months after the beginning of the Class Period, defendants shocked the market when they revealed that the Company’s production costs had soared, and would continue to do so, because of systemic operating defects at the Lewis leach pad. Defendants revealed that the Company would have to double the amount of fresh water available at the Lewis leach pad and replace the existing irrigation tubing, piping and pumping infrastructure to remedy the defects and production deficiencies, as well as obtain various regulatory approvals to undertake these corrective actions. In addition, defendants stated that the Company would indefinitely suspend its planned expansion at the Hycroft Mine due to the Company’s inability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, which was the result of amassed ore going unprocessed at the defective Lewis leach pad. In response to these revelations, the price of Allied Nevada common stock plummeted over a two day period from $5.90 per share at the close of trading on August 5, 2013 to $3.73 per share on August 7, 2013, representing a drop of more than 40%, on unusually heavy trading volume. Just weeks prior to these adverse revelations, however, the Company sold $150.5 million shares in a secondary public offering at artificially inflated prices.
Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of Allied Nevada common stock during the Class Period (the “Class”). The plaintiff is represented by Robbins Geller, which has expertise in prosecuting investor class actions and extensive experience in actions involving financial fraud. | 2019-04-23T12:47:11Z | https://www.rgrdlaw.com/cases-alliednevada.html |
Keep the dream alive giveaway #8!
Like that one. I'm in. Thanks for the offer. | 2019-04-20T18:43:05Z | https://www.stripersonline.com/surftalk/topic/757282-keep-the-dream-alive-giveaway-8/?page=2 |
“You’ve got to let me put a few holes in the boat,” I told Ben while wielding the drill in my left hand and positioning it against the bulkhead of his Bristol Channel Cutter, Elizabeth. After several years of solo sailing, Ben and I had finally decided to transition to sailing together aboard one boat. His boat was becoming our boat. He tidied up his “floating bachelor pad” and I moved aboard, laying my pink sleeping bag and teddy bear on my bunk, putting my curling iron and toothbrush in the head, and shoving my boots and foulies in the hanging locker. Now we sail together on almost every voyage. But maintaining our independence was a concern I carried across the gunnels with me.
Both Ben and I feared that we would fall into traditional male and female roles when we came together aboard one boat. While sailing solo, I met and observed many other cruising couples and families. The more sailors I met, the more worried I became that I would lose the confidence and skills I had gained while sailing my own boat. Most of the cruisers I met were couples, and with almost no exceptions, the command was held by the male. He was at the helm in the roughest conditions, he maintained the engine and equipment, he made the decision when to set sail and when to wait, and he communicated as the face of the vessel and crew when dealing with others. It was in the sailing community that I first learned of the terms “blue and pink jobs,” and together, Ben and I decided that we didn’t want to operate Elizabeth that way.
In terms of gender equality aboard vessels, we have come a long way since the days when it was considered bad luck to have women aboard a sailing ship. But let’s face it—men and women still don’t equally share in shipboard responsibilities and leadership roles in both recreational sailing and the maritime industry as a whole. Women are discouraged from maritime jobs because of the deep-seated belief that we are smaller, weaker, irrational and therefore less able to manage a vessel. Even aboard their own boats, social inequalities commonly imposed on women have made them more likely to shy away from the helm, engine and other positions of control. These beliefs have convinced women that they can’t, and even that they don’t want to do these things. We usually go to sea with longtime husbands or boyfriends we are still getting to know. The men are often helpful and chivalrous. They take extra care to ensure the women onboard are safe and comfortable. But the most courageous captain will relinquish some control and enable his counterpart to become a hero in her own heart. The key to a safe and fun passage is for traditional male/female couples to unleash the woman’s potential. Here are 10 suggestions that couples can follow to help empower women at the helm.
A woman with a chivalrous man who steps in to save the day during challenging times will learn that she is loved, but also that someone is there to guide her away from danger. In order to learn to rely on themselves, sailors must feel the weight of that responsibility. In my experience, at some point it is no longer enough to simply say, “I’m doing this on my own,” and still have another sailor aboard. The weight of responsibility must be on her shoulders alone. Captain/crew role-playing scenarios are just that—role-playing. The next step is to actually take command, stand at the helm and run the vessel all on her own. This can begin with a motor around the harbor on a calm day. Then, on another day, she can move up to sailing in light winds, but always with the added precautions for solo sailing that might not be present when sailing with a partner.
If the boat is very large and it’s not possible to sail it solo, or for a leadership opportunity with a crew, women can try sailing with a crew comprised of only women. It’s in a woman’s nature to ask for help when she needs it. Women talk things out, confide in friends and turn to their husbands for support. It’s also believed by many that men respond more quickly to crisis by diving in, being directive and protective, and taking control. While both qualities are important, when put together one will overshadow the other. For women to get acquainted with their leadership side, they need the freedom to step into that role fully. Sailing with other women allows females to take control of the boat, make mistakes, learn and grow. Through this process they will discover that they have more intrinsic leadership and innate sailing ability than they ever dreamed possible.
When I first began my professional sailing career, my mentor shocked me by saying “If I could, I would allow you to run this boat up on a rock, because then you’ll really understand your abilities and limitations.” Years later, I completely understand what he was trying to tell me. It’s important for sailors to understand how they behave in times of crisis. But it’s even more important in a sailor’s development to be in control during those challenging times. That is when reserves of strength of character are made and discovered. Cruising couples that are trying to empower the woman will allow her to make mistakes. No one will step in when the sails luff or breaking waves are spotted ahead. A woman who feels she is supported and responsible for the vessel will step into that role.
Sometimes stepping up to the helm isn’t as hard as letting go of it. But for women to learn to take leadership, their partner must also learn to relinquish that leadership and become a good crewmember. Actively listening to others can be even more challenging than being directive. However, a supportive crewmember shows the woman in her new leadership role that he trusts her and is willing to step out of his comfortable role to comply with her direction.
It takes a lifetime of sailing to become literate in all the complicated systems and equipment aboard a cruising boat. Sail trim, weather forecasting, electronics, sail repair, anchor systems, engine maintenance, bright work and navigation are just the beginning. Great partnerships are those where teaching and learning go both ways. Your partner may be good with diesel mechanics, but if you perfect your dead reckoning skills and teach him, you’ll be learning and growing together. Collectively, you will be less reliant on mechanics or GPS and more reliant on each other.
Sometimes the best way to tackle a problem is with efficiency in mind. For example, your stay in port may only be a few days, during which you must fix the broken zipper on the dodger, change the raw-water pump impeller, fill the fuel and water tanks, and still find time for a walk on the beach. The most efficient use of your limited time would be to divide and conquer by taking on the jobs that are a natural fit. Typically, this results in the man addressing the engine jobs, while the woman replaces the zipper. Instead of falling into traditional task division, why not make an agreement that will oblige you to reverse roles on a regular basis? Begin preparing a few days before landfall by reading your diesel mechanics shipboard reference, together measuring for a new zipper, and encouraging each other’s questions. It may require more planning, and you may have to miss that relaxing walk on the beach, but the rewards will be much greater.
Mistakes will happen. In fact, if you’re pushing your boundaries, they are sure to happen as a matter of course. But sailors must take ownership of their mistakes. If you hit the piling when trying to dock, you should repair the scratch in the gelcoat. If you drop a wrench overboard, put on your swimsuit and goggles—it’s time for a dip. And if you haul away at the halyard, but didn’t tie a proper bowline to the head of the sail, then guess who is going up in the boatswain’s chair despite a fear of heights? You. And you can bet you’ll never forget how to tie the bowline again. A sailor who is expected to take responsibility for his or her mistakes will learn from them.
Boat owners are constantly modifying, upgrading, fixing and maintaining their boats. There is a never-ending to-do list of projects. But deciding what is on the list and who should tackle each project is a shared responsibility. Try each making your own list, combining them, and then simply dividing the tasks by going down the list and alternating his, hers, his, hers. There will always be projects that are undesirable because they are hard, boring or messy. However, that is part of owning a boat, and someone has to do it. If both partners in the relationship own the boat equally, there will be a greater sense of shared pride, care and satisfaction when you take her out for a sail.
Sailing is both masculine and feminine. It is a sport that requires strength and delicacy. A sailor must be able to break a heavy anchor free from the seafloor while simultaneously finessing the vessel out through the narrow harbor entrance, negotiating the breeze, rocks and crosscurrents. Sailors need to be stern and directive at certain times, and sympathetic and adaptable at others. A boat maintained to a high standard is rugged, but care is also given to make her beautiful. Therefore, a feminine perspective is equally as important as a masculine one. The best sailors recognize that and work to cultivate a balance of both qualities in themselves and their partners.
So, when I was wielding the drill in my left hand, poised against the bulkhead of Ben’s beloved Bristol Channel Cutter, he first cringed and then walked away. I drilled several holes in the boat that day, my first aboard Elizabeth, as I upgraded some of the stowage systems, installed my homemade dodger, and worked through our pre-departure to-do list. My work proved to be useful—the dodger, with its heartshaped windows, topped Elizabeth beautifully, and Ben still hasn’t discovered the mistake I made and fixed all on my own. Our work as equal partners aboard our boat is an ongoing effort and always at the top of our list.
What Scares You While Sailing?
Your article reminds me of my honeymoon where bareboat chartered out of Key Largo. We had to go through the usual pre-seatrial with the owner before departing. After an hour of drill questions and sail maneuvers, we returned to the dock, the owner pulled the keys out and tossed them to “me”, not my husband. She’s yours, take care of her, “he” will catch on.
We were the exception to your blue/pink rules…..we just migrated to the jobs we did best….when the sh*t hit the fan, I was in command (he relinquished the helm).
Awesome article. You have an absolutely incredible awareness and intellect.
We were terrified to find out that many of the women aboard of cruising boats, wouldn’t be able to do many of the jobs that the men regularly take care of.
We tend to slip into “blue and pink jobs” ourselves, be we always remind ourselves that both of us need to be able to do everything. I might not be able to cook such delicious dishes on a regular basis as Jana does, but I learn few dishes that I know always hit the spot and Jana always takes the spanners out of my hands and works on the engine and does other “manly” chores. I might need to loosen a bolt here and there for her, but that’s it.
Regularly I step down from the “captain’s post” and let Jana make all the decisions. E.g. it took a while to persuade her to steer when getting in and out of harbour, but once she tried, I haven’t seen the tiller for quite a while. She’s much better at it anyway. Now I have to ask her to let me steer.
I’ve been following your blog for a couple of years now with a hiatus during the 6 months we took to cross the Pacific from Victoria to New Zealand. I’ve always enjoyed reading your words and watching your video clips and feel like I have gotten to know you and Ben (weird this blogging world – having friends although never having met in person!).
This is a terrific posting… best yet! My co-cap Bill and I try to do what you and Ben do. We are truly co-caps although my learning curve is much steeper than his due to our unequal sailing experience.
On February 9 this year we fly down to New Zealand where our boat, Terrwyn, is currently on the hard. We will be doing some sailing in the Bay of Islands and then around mid-April head off for Africa! Before our departure date I need to have some more real experience taking the role of captain in coastal waters (which as you know is totally different than mid-ocean)… so we are going to take her up to Lin and Larry Pardey’s place with me at the helm and Bill crewing the whole way.
As you have so eloquently stated sometimes it is so hard to do the things that do not come naturally or easily but I believe it is essential for a successful shared voyage. The feeling of accomplishment and pride of work is even greater when one grits ones teeth and just does those things one doesn’t like or want to do.
Thank you for your excellent blog…….I have had 2 weeks sailing off shore and leave for 1month sailing in Bahamas,can I do this full time?? Looking forward to meeting other doing this as a way of life.I am the first matey and hope to hold that postion and learn to navigate like the best.
This is so timely for me–thanks for your insight. My husband and I are working out these issues as we start on our life as livaboards. In general, we consider ourselves equals and I’m no shrinking violet. But yesterday, as I was hauling him up the mast I tried to tell him about an issue with the line and he started yelling that it was no big deal and to keep going. I should have stood my ground but he knows more about boats and was yelling louder so I kept turning the winch, making the situation worse. We talked about it afterwards so we can better communicate in stressful situations. I think as I learn more and become more confident, he and I will both trust me more.
I have sold my boat and Ben and I are searching for our next home! Wish us luck!
PS. All comments are ‘pending’ if it’s the first time you post on my blog. The reason for that is to filter out all the spam. But now you can post freely!
Great article. Enlightening, helpfull and and to the point of shared responsibility.
Love your articles! Loive your lifestyle! Beautiful seamanship!
Very nice article! Lots of food for thought. We cruising couples do have to balance a lot of the factors you mention. Active interest and engagement of both parties in as many facets of cruising as possible is certainly the ideal to strive for. I wonder if the most important skill we need to develope is to listen to our partner, and not assume that the pink/blue role is the only way. There’s a necessary give-and-take that is necessary for couples living in a cruising yacht, a very small, challenging environment.
Just discovered your blog and videos after following DrakeParagon. I’m a coastal power boater that has always admired sail boats. Maybe I’ll learn to sail some day but until then, I sail through you and Ben! Great article.
Just started to read through all your posts and absorb as much info as possible! This was a really interesting read as we are about to start our life as liveaboards, in the UK, and my partner is the one with experience and I am a complete novice eek! I’m so excited but naturally a little apprehensive about the challenges…reading your blogs is both inspiring and giving me confidence in myself that I can do this 🙂 I am going to do my Competant Crew course this summer on an all female boat and can’t wait!
Yeah, it’s my boat and I’m the one with the captain’s license. Hubby is strictly cheerful, helpful crew. And trusts me 100 percent. Keeps me on my toes! | 2019-04-20T21:08:57Z | http://sailingsimplicity.com/unleashing-womens-potential/ |

Unconditional love is all around and within us and without us all the time.
We are separated from this love by our perception that we have boundaries. We then tend to define everything from within and without our boundaries. This is me, this is not me or a dialectical of us and them leading to sets and exclusion. Our egos blind us to unconditional love because we expect to experience love in a certain way.
When we ask God for help and expect God to answer us in English or a language we recognize.
I remember a woman that broke up with me in 2001. Though I felt sad I also felt nurtured by the love that was all around me and realized that seeking love through someone else that was not easily forthcoming was a trap. I looked out the backdoor of my house and felt the love. I rejoiced in it. It may have been unconditional but as soon as I felt it I defined it in some way and it fell from unconditional into some other kind of grand love.
The two peak experiences I had had on Cape Cod in 1966 and then again in 1968 put me in touch with an ineffable joy of the world as one and it was then I touched unconditional love. | 2019-04-18T21:21:35Z | https://psychesweather.wordpress.com/2016/04/ |

Travelling was - and still is - a pleasure for many people. For some people it can be all or only part of their job.
... I would like to ask the members if anyone has come across the marks in the accompanying photo. I have heard them described in the American auction rooms but never have they been identified by maker or date.
I don't even know what country they are from.
... I just purchased this ladies pocket watch and I would like more information about the marks. I know that this is 800 German silver but I could not find any info about the maker or other (date) marks.
I have attached some photos to help.
I also noticed that one of the pieces has the mark EC in a bow and arrow and on the other is a SE in a bow and arrow??
Besides German marks your watch bears also the 800/1000 Swiss marks in use between 1882 and 1934 (for both great and small works).
... can you help me identify this maker and also whether it is sterling, as it was represented to me when I purchased it, or silver plate. The closest I could find to these marks is a Sheffield mark for 1861.
The marks are: Crown followed by the capital letter T followed by a lion passant ( all in a 8 sided cartouche) followed by a Queens head facing left in a round cartouche; followed by M.H. & Co. in a stylized cartouche.
There is also a Unicorn on the Stem.
Your sterling silver fish server was made by Martin, Hall & Co Ltd and bears Sheffield 1861 hallmarks.
The firm origins by the partnership established in 1820 in Sheffield by Henry Wilkinson and John Roberts who traded as Wilkinson & Roberts. The firm's chronology is: John Roberts (1836), Roberts & Hall ( 1846), Martin Hall & Co (1854), Martin Hall & Co Ltd (1866-1936).
Martin Hall & Co was one of the best known British manufacturers and participated to many international exhibitions including the Crystal Palace 1851 Great Exhibition.
They had also a line of production in electroplate and in a patented white metal called "Martinoid".
This information are available in the British marks pages of my private website at http://www.silvercollection.it/ENGLISHSILVERMARKSXM.html (sterling) and http://www.silvercollection.it/electroplatesilverM.html (electroplate).
... I got this old silver Chinese coin at an estate sale. At least I think it is Chinese. I really don't know what it is. It appears to be silver. Any info is very much appreciated.
...I recently purchased these Elkington silver-plate candlesticks. Thank you for your very informative "silvercollection" website the candlesticks appear to be dated 1853.
What does the "S" mark indicate?
Can anyone tell me what the "sun" symbol is for: Is it the retailer? Is it the client's symbol? Is it a decorative motif?
In heraldry this symbol is variously described as 'torse' or 'wreath' issuant "sun in splendour".
The candlesticks appear to be reinforced with a ferrous metal rod and weighted with pitch. Would Elkington have placed the rod there? Should I restore the candlesticks by replacing the lost pitch that has crumbled away?
What material and construction would have been used for where the candle is inserted?
...Can you tell me anything about this piece? The coins date back from 1808-1868 . The hallmark is Kock & Bergfeld (800). Aron 17704 is stamped on the bottom also.
Koch & Bergfeld was founded in Bremen in 1829 by Gottfried Koch and Ludwig Bergfeld (born in Hannover). Executed 1900-10 designs by Hugo Leven, Albin Muller and Henry van de Velde and in the twenties and thirties by Gustav Elsass and Bernhard Hotger .
The firm is still active with a wide production of flatware and holloware. Maybe contacting the firm you can obtain further information about your tankard.
...I have some silver pieces, and seams that the hallmarks are Austrian-Hungarian.
Could you please help me with identifying the other silver marks on the set of silver spoons?
There are 3 marks on each spoon.
One of them is Diana's head.
The second one is mark of eagle.
The third one is man with helmet.
Can you or anyone help me with this matter?
...Here are a couple photos of our set. Can you assist in identifying this in any way?
...I'm trying to identify the use of a silver item in my possession. I believe it is a tobacco box with a lighter on the side.
In my opinion your item is a cigarette case or a tobacco box combined with matches' container (you omitted to supply the measures of the item).
It looks to be made in St. Petersburg, Russia (end 19th century) but I was unable to find any exact correspondence with its marks.
...Please find attached a picture of an object that I am not able to confirm as authentic.
It is an acquisition from a local flea market. I believe lot of specialists and "specialists" examined this piece before I bought it, but somehow were sceptic about its real origin and age. So doubtful I was, but however I had no doubt about it is made of solid silver.
Hallmarks are completely logical and each is matching with others correctly. It is Tallinn 1847 with assayer AT monogram. Three animals are part of city hallmark (exactly matching those at your site) and 84 zolotniks mark is in a rectangle as it should be. Silversmith HC into a rectangle.
First question: Is this a sauce boat or a creamer? (it is 17 cm long, 10.5 cm high and weight is 216 grams and was gilded inside).
Second question: If it is not authentic why should someone make a copy of an object that has no significant market value?
Third question: Is it usual that all four hallmarks on the base rim are turned upside down?
Best regards and best wishes for 2008.
Thanks to Willand Ringborg's article (ASCAS # 88) we know that the town mark is Tallin and that "AT" is an unknown assayer active 1847/1852. Postnikova-Loseva (mark #3508) identifies HC silversmith as Clemens Hermann Georg (1806-1856).
I haven't the knowledge necessary to evaluate if your item is an authentic Imperial Russia piece but, I admit, it would be a great temptation for me if offered at a reasonable price in a flea market.
My opinion is that it is a sauce boat while the "upside down" marks don't signifies that the piece isn't authentic.
Anyway I trust in the support of more experienced members of ASCAS for a qualified reply to your questions.
... In response to Christophe Ginter's question regarding the marks on his Swiss spoon, the maker "ET" is Etienne Terroux (ca. 1694-1774), master 1719. Additionally, the upper Geneva mark has the worn initials "IIG", which stood for guild warden Jean-Jacques Girod (1700-1770) who served 1732-34 and again 1760-62, so the spoon was made in one of those years (presumably 1732-34 if the early 1700s stylistic dating is correct).
This information is from Fran�ois-Pierre de Vevey's "Manuel des Orf�vres de Suisse Romande" (Fribourg: Sotheby's, 1985), a good reference for the western French-speaking cantons of Switzerland.
... I identified the maker of the sculpture submitted by Ludo D'Haese in March 2006 Newsletter.
The Italian mark is "383 FI" corresponding to Argenterie Etruria s.n.c., Via del Romito 37, Firenze (Florence).
This mark was assigned in September 1962 and the firm ceased its activity in July 1994.
According to The Encyclopedia of American Silver Manufacturers, Mead & Robbins was a partnership of John O. Mead and Harrison Robbins succeeding the firm of Filley & Mead at some point after 1850. Mead & Robbins continued in business until about 1870.
The ancient examples (13th-16th centuries) were drinking cups. The later were receptacles for dining implements.

The use of pottery utensils goes back as far as the first human settlements. The development of farming and the use of tame animals gave rise to the urban settlements where the first technical breakthroughs were recorded, one of which was pottery. This occurred in the near east 7,000 years BC and arrived in the Basque Country towards the end of the 4 th millennium BC. | 2019-04-25T09:45:29Z | http://euskalzeramika.com/en/popular-basque-ceramics/history |
Abstract: Correspondence with Philip Schuyler, Baron Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben, George Washington, and others; military commissions; returns of New Jersey regiments; accounts of the battles of Brandywine and Germantown, as well as of the siege of Yorktown; journal kept on the expedition against the Indians near Detroit in 1764.
Elias Dayton (1737-1807) was a merchant in Elizabeth, New Jersey. In 1756, he became a lieutenant in the Jersey Blues, a colonial militia that fought in the French and Indian Wars (1754-1763). He was later present at the signing of the peace treaty with the Native American Chief Pontiac outside Detroit, Michigan in 1764. In 1776, Dayton was appointed colonel of the Third New Jersey Regiment of Foot, also known as the Third Battalion, New Jersey Line, in the Continental Army. His unit was stationed at Albany in May 1776; in the fall of 1776 the unit built Fort Schuyler (Rome, N.Y.) and Fort Dayton (Herkimer, N.Y.) and fought off Indian raids from Johnstown and German Flats before returning to Morristown, New Jersey in March of 1777. Dayton and his unit saw action at Bound Brook, Staten Island, and Brandywine in 1777-1778, defended New Jersey from British raids in 1779, and fought at the siege of Yorktown in 1781. On January 3, 1783, Dayton was promoted to Brigadier-General and on November 3, 1783 the unit was discharged. On June 5, 1799, the State of New Jersey promoted Dayton to Major General of the Second Division of Militia.
The collection consists of one volume containing the papers of Elias Dayton dating from 1759-1783. The volume is entitled “List of Papers Sent by A. D. Dayton to the New Jersey Historical Society, May 8, 1850” and contains a number of Elias Dayton’s promotions; a journal documenting his time with the New Jersey Blues; notes detailing the battles of Brandywine, Germantown and the siege of Yorktown; and sketches of the deployment of the armies at Germantown, and Yorktown. The papers also include letters of Captain Charles Argill, George Washington, General Schuyler, and Jeffery Amherst. These letters discuss such topics as: permission for Argill to return to England and military orders. Most of these papers were reprinted in Vol. 1, Nos. 5 and 9 of the Proceedings of the New Jersey Historical Society.

Last Monday (18th November), local MP Tom Brake teamed up with Sutton police and local councillor Peter Fosdike to tackle speeding around Carshalton.
Armed with a speed gun, the team acts as a visible deterrent to speeders and comes in response to residents' calls for police action to tackle speeding.
A radar gun detects the speed of a moving vehicle. If caught speeding, the driver receives a warning letter suggesting that next time they are caught speeding by a trained police officer or speed camera, they will be fined.
Tom Brake said, "The vast majority of motorists keep to the speed limit but it is important to send a strong message to the small minority of drivers who put lives at risk."
Peter Fosdike, local councillor for Carshalton South and Clockhouse, welcomed the police action saying that "Radar guns can help our local community to tackle the problem of speeding and to challenge dangerous drivers before someone gets hurt."
Safer Neighbourhoods PC Barrie Walton said: "Local residents have told us their concerns about traffic travelling in excess of the speed limits on residential roads in Carshalton especially around the school run times. Helping keep the roads safe for everyone is a priority for us. We are running regular anti-speeding operations as well as talking to drivers to make them aware of the importance of driving considerately and safely. We would like local residents to join us in these operations. We will explain how these operations work and you will be shown how to use the speed gun. If you are interested, please contact us on 020 8721 2898 or 020 8721 2490."
Due to the success of Monday morning, and strong local demand for the issue of speeding to be tackled, the police have agreed to roll out the programme of radar guns across the borough. | 2019-04-25T02:55:38Z | https://www.tombrake.co.uk/local_mp_joins_the_fight_against_speeding |

Why CMMs Are so popular?
Colour Me Mad, since its inception has been liked and accepted by many customers. I too have been using CMM footwear for a while and I am in love with them. Having used them personally, I can relate why people prefer them over the traditional footwear.
The foremost thing which gets your attention is the colourful and exclusive designs of CMM. They come in such vibrant patterns and designs that it is like love at first sight. Never before I have fallen in love with a footwear. Generally, it happens with a dress or an accessory but I have not come across such attractive footwear before. This is not the only thing to fall in love. You wear them and that feeling of softness and comfort strikes you immediately. The soft latex padding is simply comfortable and provides soothing effect to your feet.
Another significant factor about CMM is the cork sole. They are made of natural material cork which has moulding property. This shapes the footwear as per your foot shape making it suitable for each individual as per their foot shape. This makes them perfect fit and also provides proper support while walking. The cork sole combined with soft latex padding is a perfect combination which helps to provide shock absorption while walking and thus reducing back, knee and ankle pain.
This is not enough; I just can't stop appreciating this footwear! They have a very unique and one of the best features which is customization. Yes! Have you come across any footwear before? They have changeable insoles which are fixed with cork sole using Velcro. So you can easily remove and replace it with another design. Isn't it interesting! Today I am in casual mood, so I just grab this floral insole and fix it with my footwear. Another day I am in party mood, so I just replace my straps with shiny one and change the insole to match my dress. See, it is that easy to have a new and perfect matching footwear whenever you want.
Taking care of CMM is so easy that you can keep them clean and neat all the time. They are easily washable and waterproof. Hence you can wash them as you wish. This not only helps to have a cleaner footwear but also helps to increase the life of footwear. I have been using this pair for more than 2 years now and see how new they look still today. Ah! I just can't stop admiring them. They have become favourite footwear and I have tried all the types provided by CMM. They have variety in sandals, shoes, slip-ons and Kolhapuri as well. So what are you waiting for? If you haven't tried CMM yet, go grab it now. | 2019-04-23T00:04:55Z | https://colourmemad.com/blogs/blogs/why-cmms-are-so-popular |

There are few subjects which stimulate as much controversy as illegal recreational drugs, however, with the illicit drug industry turning over hundreds of billions per year in the US alone, this is certainly not an issue to be dismissed or avoided – it’s a significant part of modern life that we must understand as comprehensively as possible, to avoid acting or speaking in ignorance.
The recreational drug user is a person who you might never suspect takes drugs. They are shopkeepers, bankers, civil servants, policemen, lawyers, doctors, electricians, hairdressers – in fact, they’re everywhere, in all walks of life. They can often hold down their jobs, function in their communities, and pay their taxes as well as the next person but when the weekend comes, they step into a different energy level via their drug of choice.
Why do drugs appeal to so many people?
Whilst I observe that society is generally well informed on the dangers of taking drugs, I find the background reasons surrounding why people choose to take drugs are rarely discussed openly – and the Why, I believe, is the most important factor we can focus on. Telling a person not to take drugs because “They’re bad for your body” will often do nothing to change the mindset of the recreational user, for you’re telling them nothing new. To address the issue of drugs, we must venture into the human psyche and consider the situation from a spiritual perspective – as all recreational drugs are taken for the mind, not for the body.
Whilst the term of being “out of your mind” on drugs (or alcohol) is commonly used to describe being high (or drunk), I think this phrase gives us a crucial insight into the experience that users are searching for and is a good place for us to begin our contemplation – humans often get fed up with being caught up in their mind, which never stops whirring and they seek a release. The recreational user may say they take drugs simply to have fun or to relax – perhaps they’ve worked hard during the week and when Saturday night comes it’s time to let their hair down – but I believe the underlying cause for this behavior is the restlessness that’s described in the Celestine Prophecy’s First Insight. Drugs are taken as a substitute for peace. During their week, users may live in the world of the mind, unable to switch off, but through their experience of taking drugs they know there is another level of life possible where they can feel more love and harmony in their surroundings if they “just take a pill”.
Addressing MDMA (aka Molly) and Ecstasy, in particular, users frequently report feeling “Loved up” and will often spend hours talking with their friends and even strangers at very deep levels when they’re high. The introduction of MDMA into their bloodstream, often allows users open up to others on heightened levels, and the side effect of wanting to hug your friends and tell them you love them is incredibly common. Feeling an increased sense of love and happiness (just for maybe one night out the week) is no doubt a reason MDMA/ Ecstasy users will ignore health warnings and the dangers surrounding the unknown ingredients of what they ingest.
There are drugs out there to suit a multitude of mindsets and whether users are looking to dance the night away or wind down and chill out, there is one thing all recreational users have in common – they want to change their vibrational energy level and they don’t know how else to do it. | 2019-04-25T03:02:12Z | https://www.celestinevision.com/2017/07/spirituality/recreational-drugs-how-do-we-break-free/ |

While the show has changed its name several times from Photo East to Viscomm, it’s been at the Javits Center for over 25 years.
No one likes the building, even the Governor wants to tear it down. But it’s an old friend and one year after we were done setting-up the booth, I set out to make some interesting pictures.
Instead of wide angle shots of all the dark glass (before the renovation), I found that while the building itself is not particularly beautiful, it used to reflect wonderful colors and shapes in these images. But as I arrived at the building this week, I noticed all the dark glass has been replaced with a lighter and less reflective glass that has a greenish cast. While the new glass will let in more light and keep the rain out, the old glass made for better reflections.
I volunteer to work any trade show in Atlantic City. The town is rough around the edges and filled with real people. My kind of place!
Atlantic City is also filled with great lines and shapes. I used the end of day raking light to bring out the edge contrast of the criss-crossing lines in the Boardwalk, the trash can and the roll down storefront. Then I waited for the right person to walk through the scene and found a composition that best worked the negative space.
Before heading to the Javits Center for a meeting, I took a walk through Central Park.
A person was blowing large soap bubbles and this girl was chasing after them.
The light was lousy and I was tempted to head off, but sometimes if the scene is interesting its best to live with the light.
The action and joy of the girl, along with how the colors in her dress align with the spectral colors on the bubble, help to overcome the dim cross-curve light.
I used FocalPoint 2 software on the edges of the image to reduce the blah and put more emphasis on the primary subject.
During a break, I stepped outside of the Vancouver Convention Center. The view of the mountains and harbor was spectacular. But the silhouette of the window washer in the upper left third, balanced in the frame with the mountain in the bottom right third, was (for me) the best view. | 2019-04-18T21:03:25Z | https://dansteinhardt.com/2013/10/ |
Aurora Cemetery. US 81/287 in Rhome, exit onto Hwy 114. West 1.5 miles, then south a half-mile on Cemetery Rd. The cemetery and marker (when it hasn't been stolen) are on the left side.
The Space Alien's grave marker is back as of July of 2018.
There is a large boulder at the site along with a cross. It is under a tree beneath a large bent over limb. We had no luck on Loretta, the talking Parrot, but it's a lovely peaceful graveyard, with many beautiful tombstones.
We found it. It's on the right side. Off the drive to the right of the cemetery sign. There is one tree toward the front of the cemetery and two trees a little further back. It's between those two, with a large stone just to the right of the headstone. Please don't take the headstone. Just take a picture.
Unfortunately the headstone has been stolen. The grave is still there, under a tree, but it is now unmarked.

Just in case the new leader of the Free World hasn’t seen one of Carson’s YouTube videos, Carson scribbled his website lockerboard.net on the napkin, leaving the note with one of Trump’s security personnel.
Carson said this week that he hasn’t heard back from the president, yet, but that may be understandable. “He’s got a few other things he’s working on,” Carrie Kropfl said.
Carson, however, has built five Locker Boards with Trump’s youngest son, Barron — who is about his age — in mind. The Kropfls wonder which color is Barron’s favorite. Carson said he is prepared to ship one to the White House.
Carson didn’t realize it until he got into the studio, but he was in competition that day with two other entrants for a $10,000 prize and a $50,000 branding package. Although his Locker Board sales pitch was trumped by another team, he came home with a $1,000 consolation prize, a Motorola camera phone and newfound reinforcement that he is onto something good.
On the day after the show was taped, Carson was skating through Central Park when he rolled up to a man on a bench holding a big snake — maybe a python. The man wrapped it around Carson’s neck. The boy got a little nervous, handing the man his Locker Board. The Central Park personality’s reaction was priceless.
On Monday, Carson was back at home, surrounded by classmates in the den to watch his appearance on the Harry Show and share his joy.
His friends own Locker Boards. They remember when Carson’s parents had told him he needed to do chores to earn money to pay for his surf contest fees and surf lessons. “I hate doing chores,” he’d said at the time.
That was when he decided to pursue in earnest his idea for a locker-sized skateboard.
He collected used skateboard decks. He experimented shaving them down into various shapes until he found one that proved surprisingly easy to ride. He could even do kick flips on them. With help from his mom, he launched a website. An Orange County Register article generated nationwide responses. Carson’s YouTube videos sent the buzz worldwide.
He initially recycled skateboard decks to sell for $20, then began installing trucks and wheels on them so he could sell a complete Locker Board for $99. Biggest challenge was finding enough donated old decks to keep up with demand.
Carson said he has sold about 125 Locker Boards so far, has shipped them nationwide, has donated 30 boards to charities and has netted a profit of $2,700. He is donating 10 percent to the Positive Vibe Warriors Foundation run by pro surfing brothers Dane, Patrick and Tanner Gudauskas.
Oh, and there’s the small matter of getting a Locker Board into Barron Trump’s hands. Carrie Kropfl thinks it could happen. | 2019-04-19T18:39:39Z | https://www.star-telegram.com/living/family/article128223194.html |

Known for his stellar-character performances in films like Neerja, Issaq and Identity Card, actor Prashantt Guptha will soon showcase his musical prowess by reprising a classic from the 1952 film Baiju Bawra.
Through this cover album called Prashn, the actor intends to demonstrate how certain classical songs are lyrically relevant to today’s global issues and human suffering. Mohammad Rafi’s evergreen Oh duniya ke rakhwale is the first song in this initiative that Prashantt has sung and performed to.
This eternal song was composed by the great Naushad and penned by the equally great Shakeel Badayuni. Apart from the fact that this is perhaps one of the most popular classic Hindi film songs, and one that would be very difficult for anyone to attempt paying a tribute to, the reason behind Prashantt choosing this particular song is because of its sheer relevance in today’s times and his personal sentiment towards calling upon God to help people and the world through all its become. “This one song soulfully addresses the voice of all those calling upon God to see the hopelessness, sadness, struggles, loneliness, depression, seeking, and heart break,” says Prashantt.

In this paper we will present different storage approaches for XML documents, the document centered, the data and the structure centered approach. We will then focus on the structure centered approach and will introduce an abstract view on XML documents using tree graphs. To make these tree graphs persistent different storage techniques are mentioned and evaluated concerning the creation and retrieval of complete documents. Measurement results are shown and shortly discussed for creation and retrieval of different (complete) XML documents. Moreover we will shortly introduce the partial mapping extension, which helps to optimize the generic structure based storage approach for specific documents whose structure is known in advance.
The results presented come from the ongoing implementation of a high performance generic document server with an analytic decision support agent. | 2019-04-24T15:57:16Z | https://rd.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/3-540-36556-7_9 |

Outsourcing help desk services to an offshore location may yield as much as 30 to 40 percent cost savings, but customer satisfaction must be a key factor when making this decision, according to Gartner, Inc.
* Client knowledge – When a help desk is internal, the client has its own employees supporting the help desk. These employees have access to internal communications which enable them to clearly understand their business and, therefore, support end users. When the help desk is outsourced, the service provider tries to capture the information into a knowledge database, but the information is not always kept up to date or easily understood.
* High turnover – A recent Gartner survey for all IT services showed that the worldwide attrition rate was 14.7 percent and offshore it was 22.1 percent. Although this can be a problem anywhere in the world, it can be extremely prevalent in low-cost countries where many IT job opportunities exist and many IT help desk agents will switch jobs for a small salary increase.
* Cultural differences – If a client has a problem, he or she will relate the problem over the phone, but because of cultural differences, the help desk agent may not interpret the problem and react in the most appropriate manner. For example, a client employee may have a problem on a PC and want to know how to fix it. Instead of explaining how to fix the problem, the offshore agent may take control of the employee’s PC and change the image without explaining how this was accomplished because the agent doesn’t want to insult the client. However, the client employee may be dissatisfied because he or she doesn’t learn what was wrong or how to fix the problem resulting in a need to call the help desk again in the future.
* Language dialects – Although Indian-based providers’ agents speak English, they are generally trained in U.K. English and may use British words or a more formal context, format, tone and enunciation. Because many clients are from North America, this adds to oral communication problems. This can cause frustration for the client and the agent, and lead to dissatisfaction with the help desk experience. However, when a help desk problem is sent via e-mail or on a Web chat site, this language problem is not a factor, and customer satisfaction is positive.
* Assess and validate whether the offshore provider’s services can meet requirements.
* Review the service provider’s offshore practice for building and updating its knowledge database.
* Review the provider’s offshore service for cultural understanding, language proficiencies and employee turnover ratios.
* Talk to references using offshore help desk resources and ask what issues they may have encountered.
not just be a cost decision.
“nearshore” alternatives may negate the desire to go offshore. | 2019-04-21T21:02:20Z | http://blog.a1technology.com/2008/05/customer-satisfaction-is-key-when.html |
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Mining Gold Corp. (TSX:FF) (OTCQX:FFMGF) (FRANKFURT:FMG) (“First Mining” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce this fourth set of Phase 2 infill drilling results, comprising 11 drill holes, from its diamond drill program within Zone 1 (see Tables 1 and 2) at First Mining’s 100% owned Goldlund Gold Project (“Goldlund”), located near the town of Sioux Lookout in northwestern Ontario, Canada.
The Company is now planning to move forward with the next phase of its 2018 exploration programs, which will include mapping, sampling and drilling of the northeastern and southwestern extents of the known strike length on the Goldlund property. This summer, First Mining plans to conduct an exploration drill campaign in these areas of approximately 14 holes for 2,000 metres of diamond drilling.
The 11 drill hole results (Figure 1) presented in this news release represent the final round of infill holes which targeted gold mineralization in Zone 1. All 11 holes encountered gold mineralization. As with some of the other previously reported holes targeting Zone 1, these holes were positioned to avoid intersecting several levels of historic underground workings from previously mined areas of Zone 1. Accordingly, we believe some of the holes may not have reached the key mineralized zones which occur closer to the footwall of the zone.
Gold observed during the current drilling program at Goldlund occurs both as fine disseminations in quartz vein stockworks and as more discrete larger grains up to 2 mm spatially associated with pyrite in the quartz veins. Calaverite, a gold telluride mineral, has been noted occasionally in higher grade intervals on fracture surfaces in the quartz veins. Higher grade gold distribution in the granodiorite dike is often, but not always, associated with zones of more intense quartz stockworking and potassic alteration. Figure 2 below displays a cross-section of the geology and gold mineralization for drill holes GL-17-117, GL-17-139 and GL-18-140 (results reported in the Company’s previous news releases dated February 8, 2018 and April 17, 2018), plus GL-18-141, GL-18-142 and GL-18-143.
Forward-looking statements in this news release relate to future events or future performance and reflect current estimates, predictions, expectations or beliefs regarding future events and include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to: (i) the estimated amount and grade of Mineral Resources at Goldlund; (ii) future exploration activities by First Mining on other regional targets on the Goldlund property that are outside the current resource boundary; (iii) the potential for exploration upside at Goldlund; (iv) the Company’s plans to conduct a step-out drill campaign consisting of 14 holes for 2,000 metres of diamond drilling in the northeastern and southwestern extents of the known strike length on the Goldlund property areas; and (v) the Company moving forward with the next phase of its 2018 exploration program. All forward-looking statements are based on First Mining's or its consultants' current beliefs as well as various assumptions made by them and information currently available to them. The most significant assumptions are set forth above, but generally these assumptions include: (i) the presence of and continuity of metals at Goldlund at estimated grades; (ii) the capacities and durability of various machinery and equipment; and (iii) success in realizing proposed drilling programs. Although the Company’s management considers these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available to it, they may prove to be incorrect. | 2019-04-20T18:13:57Z | https://www.firstmininggold.com/news/releases/index.php?content_id=338 |
Mitosis is the process of cell division that enables organisms to maintain cell populations and grow. All chromosomes duplicate themselves prior to cell division, followed by partitioning of these exact copies into daughter cells. In the image to the right, two sets of chromosomes are going through mitosis.
In contrast, meiosis is a two-part cell division process which results in reproductive cells (eggs and sperm) with one-half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell.
In males, the process results in four equal gametes with one chromosome each (sperm cells—not shown). In females, each ovum is produced by two chromosome divisions, called the first and second meitic divisions, and the parent cell's cytoplasm and organelles end up in one gamete.
When a haploid sperm cell fertilizes a haploid ovum, a diploid zygote is formed, with one set of chromosomes donated from each parent. | 2019-04-23T20:43:09Z | http://4cshellfish.com/about-triploidy/cell-division.php |
OBJECTIVES:To quantify the extent to which the participant-provider interaction influences the response to sham treatment following exercised-induced acute musculoskeletal pain. MATERIALS AND METHODS:In total, 40 participants between the ages of 18 and 35 volunteered for the study. Participants came to the laboratory for 3 test sessions 48-hour apart (day 1, 3, and 5). During the initial session, baseline measures were assessed and participants underwent a fatigue protocol for the biceps brachii. Participants were then assigned to a positive expectation or a no-expectation condition before receiving a sham laser therapy treatment. The positive expectation group received symptom improvement priming before their sham treatment. Participants allocated to the no-expectation condition received no feedback before the sham treatment. Maximum voluntary isometric contraction; relaxed elbow angle; visual analog scale; and the QuickDash questionnaire were used as outcome measures. RESULTS:The positive expectation group had a significant reduction in perceived pain compared with the no-expectation group at day 3 follow-up, with the mean scores being 34.65 mm (SE=4.44) compared with 49.4 mm (SE=5.79), respectively. There were no between-group differences with respect to maximum voluntary isometric contraction, QuickDash, or relaxed elbow angle outcomes. In addition, there were no significant between-group differences observed with expected pain on follow-up visits, the effect sizes were d=0.26 on day 1 for day 3 and d=0.51 on day for day 5. DISCUSSION:Positive expectations before a sham treatment enhanced reduction in pain intensity but did not improve functional impairments following exercise-induced acute musculoskeletal injury. | 2019-04-24T13:57:39Z | https://scholars.duke.edu/display/pub1175442 |

The following eleven worksheets are all in the form of questions. They run in a chronological sequence starting with the actual cutting of the badges, through the recruit’s training, wartime experiences, demobilisation … and remembrance. The sheets need not be followed chronologically, for each one has largely been designed to stand alone, so that the teacher can ‘cherry pick’ individual sheet, or sheets, to suit the age, maturity and interest, of the children involved.
The gruesome horrors of war have been deliberately played down for children of this tender age, but something of the trauma of the situation in which men found themselves is also indicated.
Remembrance and the futility of war is the final message of these worksheets.
Now click on the following headings to go to the individual worksheets, including the Teachers’ Briefing Notes.
Worksheet 1 – What are those shapes ?
Worksheet 2 – Who cut the badges on the hill in Fovant ?
Worksheet 3 – Camp life – where did the soldiers live ?
Worksheet 4 – Why were the soldiers there ?
Worksheet 5 – Who looked after the soldiers in camp ?
Worksheet 6 – What equipment did they have ?
Worksheet 7 – How did they train ?
Worksheet 8 – What communications were there ?
Worksheet 9 – Where did they go into action ?
Worksheet 10 – When was the beginning of the end of the war ?
Worksheet 11 – How are the soldiers remembered ? | 2019-04-26T00:22:25Z | http://fovanthistory.org/ks2.html |
