The Trust is private, simple and very convenient!
On July 13, 2016, ATF Rule 41F went into effect. If you have questions about Rule 41F, please watch the video posted above. Rule 41F has changed the way that Title II (i.e. Class III or NFA Weapons) are purchased, used and managed. The new rules impose some additional requirements on trust users, but do not remove the primary purpose of using a trust to own and possess firearms that are regulated by the National Firearms Act. NFA).
ATF Form 5320.23 with a passport photograph attached (for each Trustor and Trustee, see below).
A copy of each Responsible person form should be sent to the chief law enforcement officer (CLEO) of the locality in which you (or your trustees) are located. Most commonly the sheriff is the CLEO in Texas. It should be noted that in Texas, there is a list of state CLEOs if you do not wish to send this information to your local chief of police or sheriff.
“Responsible Persons” must send a copy of ATF Form 5320.23 to the CLEO. The Texas NFA Gun Trust has a limited group of “Responsible Persons”. Settlors and General Trustees that are on the Texas Gun trust at the time you are purchasing firearms that are regulated by the National Firearms Act. You may also remove all responsible person with the exception of the Settlors and submit the forms.
The applicant on the Form 1 and the transferee on the Forms 4 shall forward a completed copy of the Form 4 or 1 to the CLEO.
Remove all trustees who meet the definition of responsible person prior to applying, and then add the Trustees back once the tax stamp is issued.
Appoint the trustees on my Texas NFA Gun Trust in a limited capacity so that they are not defined as Responsible Persons.

If you want to have others use your NFA weapons, you can avoid inadvertently committing a federal crime by adding them as a Limited Trustee on your trust.
With the Texas NFA Gun Trust you may limit their authority and power to take them out of the definition of Responsible person and avoid the necessity of fingerprints and photos.
You may limit the term of the appointment as trustee to a hunting weekend, a longer period of until you are ready to remove them as trustee.

Privacy: The Texas NFA Gun Trust is a private entity. The only governmental agency that gets a copy of your Texas NFA Gun Trust is the BATFE when you submit a form 1 or a Form 4. Trusts have always been used to keep the government out of your private business. Even after the new rule, ATF41F, the Texas NFA Gun Trust is the most effective method to keep your p firearms collection private.

The NFA Trust is a trust that is tailored to ensure compliance with the National Firearms Act which regulates weapons that are known as Title II (or class III) firearms and chapter 46 of the Texas Penal Code. Title II (or Class III) weapons are machineguns, short barreled rifles, short barreled shotguns, destructive devices and weapons classified as AOWs (Any Other Weapons).
Short Barreled Shotguns (SBSs) - this category is defined similarly to SBRs, but the length limit for the barrel is 18" instead of 16", and the barrel must be a Smoothbore. The minimum overall length limit remains 26".
Handguns with a forward vertical grip. It is illegal to place an aftermarket foregrip on any pistol without first registering it as an AOW and paying the $200.00 "making tax" imposed by the Act.

When new construction begins on a structure, tunnel, roadway, or any other large project, safe and dependable lighting is always a challenge. Weather conditions, the availability of natural light, the size of the project or tunnel, the time of the year or even the availability of power can be dramatic factors in determining whether or not a job site has adequate lighting. All agree that adequate lighting is necessary for the safety and productivity of the workers, and for the quality of the work to be executed properly.
The Big Picture: Embracing a Sustainable Supply Chain “Sustainability” means more than environmental protections and awareness. When applied holistically to a business’s supply chain, sustainability can have far-reaching effects on safety, productivity, communications, public perception, the bottom line, and beyond. By now, sustainability has been ingrained in many aspects of our daily lives. This might entail ditching the disposable coffee cup for reusable mug, trading incandescent light bulbs for energy-saving ones, or simply recycling more. Want to learn more?

Thankfully, there are lots of gorgeous U.S. beaches that are excellent for a last-minute escape from the cold. So perfect, in fact, you may forget you’re still in the country. And if you are looking for a fantastic beach vacation, Florida has no shortage of spectacular sandy oases. However one Tampa Bay beach can boast of a new accolade: Best Beach within the united states, according to TripAdvisor’s 2018 Travelers’ Choice Awards.
Which gorgeous stretch of sunshine state sand won top honors? Clearwater Beach, an idyllic paradise on the Gulf of Mexico that averages 361 days of sun a year won top honors. Running close behind in second place was Florida’s Siesta Beach, followed by Ka’anapali Beach in Maui in third place. VacayDaze provides links to Bundle Deals and Things to do at TripAdvisor’s Top 10 U.S. Beaches for 2018. To determine the rankings, TripAdvisor looked at the quantity of reviews and ratings for beaches round the world, together with the quality of traveler reviews.
Laid-back Clearwater Beach is known for its namesake stretch of soft, white sand, which draws visitors year-round for jet-skiing, parasailing, and stand-up paddle-boarding in its calm waters.
Cyclists and roller-bladers glide along a winding beachfront promenade lined with casual seafood restaurants and cafes. Come sunset, Pier 60 hosts a nightly festival with street performers and craft vendors.
Siesta Beach is a beach located on Siesta Key in the U.S. state of Florida. The sand is 99% pure Quartz, soft and cool on the feet.
The many awards it has earned include: “the whitest and finest sand in the world”, “The Best Sand Beach in America”, “The Best Beach in America”.
With three miles of white sand and crystal clear water, it’s no wonder why Ka’anapali Beach was once named America’s Best Beach. Fronting Ka’anapali’s hotels and resorts, this former retreat for the royalty of Maui is now a popular getaway for the world.
Ka’anapali Beach is a mile-long, spectacularly perfect beach that is home to seven resorts, high-end shopping, various restaurants and activities.

Last month, Council rejected an appeal made by Peterborough Chief Administrative Officer Alan Seabrooke that the township accept an alternative payment schedule in compensation for a successful boundary change transferring 4140 acres of residential and industrial lands to the city for future development.
Since that meeting, there have been no further discussions regarding the proposed annexation deal.
Following directions from Peterborough City Council, Seabrooke presented a proposed payment revision designed to balance the cash from generated from the growth the annexation would provide the city with their payments to the township and the County in an effort to retrieve the boundary adjustment deal from its trajectory towards oblivion.
As a City representative at the table during the extensive negotiations that resulted in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that was the subject of discussions, Seabrooke was very familiar with the current agreement, which was to form the basis for moving towards a restructuring proposal that would be presented for public feedback and ultimate approval by the three levels of government involved.
The city’s revised proposal incorporated reduced payments to the township during the first seven years of the agreement followed by increased payments in years eight through 25 to make up the balance. The total projected payments would remain at $62.5 million total over the 25 year agreement, but the timing of those payments was quite different. Explaining why the city was renegotiating so late in the process, Seabrooke admitted that while staff had signed off on the original deal, they had not analysed the cash flow projections closely until after it was presented to Council in March. Their revised proposal was designed to mitigate the financial burden on the City by making the deal cash flow positive in the first seven years of the agreement by reducing payments to the Township and the County, with cash flow falling into negative territory in subsequent years. Much of the payment value in the proposal was based on projections: the only firm cash flows in the proposal were those replacing lost property tax revenue. Revenue stemming from growth was to be shared, but control over that growth would remain in the city’s control.
Finance Director Kimberley Pope presented her own analysis of the revised proposal, explaining that while the total dollar value of the payments might remain the same, the timing of those payments represented a loss in value of over $2.6 million for the township. In short, the City’s gain was the County and Township’s loss in the deal.

What is the Barcelona Academy of Art?
The Barcelona Academy of Art is a highly specialised school dedicated to the teaching of drawing, painting, sculpture and digital art with a complete curriculum and teaching methods derived from the classical-realist tradition. It is a methodology based on the Renaissance, and revived by the main academic realist ateliers of the late nineteenth century (especially in the teachings of master painters such as Jean-Léon Gérôme, Léon Bonnat and Carolus-Durán).
The philosophy of the academy, which underlies its curriculum and its teaching method, requires a return to the direct study of nature and to the old masters as the foundation and point of reference of all artistic knowledge.
Learning to draw, paint and model with control, as well as understanding the theory behind the method, will not only serve the person and artist who wants to grow as a professional in the fine arts, but also those people who want to dedicate themselves to the field of digital illustration, design, or positions related to the film industry and video games, among other professions.
The academy is aimed at persons interested in learning to paint, draw and sculpt in a traditional way, within the parameters of figuration and realism as a representational art form. Together with the deep and practical knowledge of the materials and artistic methods derived from academicism, students will consolidate a good base as the starting point of their personal artistic development.
Students must be disciplined and follow every step of the program to master certain skills instead of remaining in a stationary situation of free experimentation.
Provide students with a solid technical base based on traditional artistic teaching methodologies.
To know and motivate critical thinking and research among students as an fundamental competence in the contemporary artistic sector.
Provide students with communication resources, practical and discursive skills to optimally assume the challenges of the current artistic world.
To promote the knowledge and mastery of the adequate resources to enhance their artistic identity through self-knowledge and exploration of their own artistic expression.
The works that the students will produce in the school are artistic exercises specially designed to help them build and master the fundamental skills beginning with drawing. These skills will provide them with the necessary tools to express their ideas and visions through a realistic-figurative language, effectively representing what they see and want to convey.
Capacity for rigor, discipline and perseverance.
Capacity for self-knowledge and mastery of one’s personality as an artist.
Spirit of excellence and search for excellence.
Knowledge and skill in the use of self-promotion strategies.
Respect and understanding of the method used as a basis for artistic learning.
Mastery of the rules of realistic-figurative academic art to professionalise artistically.
Knowledge of historical and current references that affect the professionalisation of the digital sector.
All the professors at the Barcelona Academy of Art are recognised international artists with a traditional training. The staff consists of painters, sculptors and digital artists who currently work in their respective sectors and sell their works within the contemporary art market.
The training program of the Barcelona Academy of Art consists in the regular programs of Drawing, Painting, Sculpture and Digital art & Design, and is complemented by seminars, weekend courses and special courses (Easter and Summer) that will help students deepen the learning and improvement of methods, procedures, approaches and techniques at the hands of the best professionals.
Once the study program is completed, the Barcelona Academy of Art offers its own students and possibly external students the opportunity to start their professionalisation process at the Barcelona Residency of Art. The students of this program will have a personal workshop where they can produce their own work but also receive the necessary knowledge that will guarantee their entrance in the contemporary art market.

The "Happy Ending" twist to Euro concerns involves the survival of the European political project and the emergence of a new “Euro Deal”, which dramatically transforms the economic and political landscape of Europe. On the one hand, debt-crisis countries are “allowed” to leave the Euro but at a high political cost (massive reduction in the number of administrative officials in European Union institutions) and a moderate yet acceptable economic and fiscal cost (e.g. a new “Euro Deal” tax or new agreements in total contributions to the EU and total receipts from the EU). On the other hand, richer countries rapidly benefit from the new Euro Deal’s reception by global financial markets and investors. Thus resulting in a steady recovery of economic and socio-political stability.
The growth of debts, austerity packages and spending cuts in Europe lead to critical economic instability and the abrupt transformation of the Euro Zone. A few countries leave the Euro at huge political price while others enjoy the new "Euro Deal".
Businesses in several countries have to adjust to world of multiple currencies and floating exchange rates, in addition to national austerity.
Possible governance of collective research and infrastructure regime by core EuroLand countries, with priorities reflecting their national concerns.
High divergence between core and more peripheral European countries. May result in another wave of large-scale migration in search of jobs.
Uneven development of infrastructure based on market demand, though at least some crisis-stricken countries may gamble on investment in infrastructure as a means to attract foreign high-tech firms to locate (or remain located) in their area.
High divergence between core and more peripheral European countries. May result in political tensions, and new approaches to achieving representation in intergovernmental organisations. Impacts on internal market are unpredictable: perhaps some development of a two-tier framework.
Health inequalities may be source of political concern.
Defence cooperation may be traded off against economic inclusion.
There are several signals warning us about the probability of occurrence of such a wild card. Most recently the global financial crisis brought financial trouble to several European states, most notably Greece and Iceland, although different brought in its wake governmental crises and civil unrest. The collapse of the Greek economy has worried stakeholders and governments throughout the Eurozone as it has the possibility to drag other economies down with it due to investment and financial ties with Greece in the form of exports and imports. Other European states are currently struggling to bring their deficits under control and face governmental crises as a result, such as Spain and Portugal. It is feared that these troubles may start to spread across Europe. Investors are also starting to refrain from any investment in European financial markets, which further exacerbates the crises. Governments in financially trouble countries also have to face fierce resistance to their plans of cutbacks in public spending. This has in some instances resulted in protests and civil unrest causing injuries and loss of life as well as damage to infrastructure. These financial crises touch the lives of ordinary citizens and many face bankruptcy and extreme financial difficulties. Individual bankruptcy and unemployment is on the rise and families face loosing their homes and livelihood. As well as this putting the strain on families it is also a heavy burden to bear for already straining public services systems. These are all weak signals for rising public disillusion with politics and the financial systems, which potentially puts at risk the social treaty people have with their governments. Governments and banks are no longer trusted and widespread lack of trust could potentially lead to further civil unrest as the aforementioned have lost their legitimacy in the eyes of the people.
Transformation of the European financial and political system.
Social Growing anger in the European electorate in more stable European countries about the use of their taxes to bail out other countries' economies.
Economic Growing soverign-debt of some European countries.
Political Reluctance of larger European economies to rescue countries with severe economic problems.
(1 to 5 years after the Wild Card manifests) Deterioration of European position in the world.
Policy actors (at the international, European and national levels) Implement stability policies; regulate financial markets; EU policy formed on how best to assist countries in dire financial condition. Regulate and monitor the situation to avoid it spiralling out of control; Keep tight reins on policy response, avoid panic and make sure that response is evidence based.
Business actors (incl. SMEs) Invest in European markets, goods and services; Support national and European policymakers in the implementation of economic measures. Avoid price speculation or drastic decisions; Try to continue “business as usual” for a few months until new economic situation becomes much clearer.
Academic/Research sector To promote research on the Euro zone and its strengths and limitations; Research should aim to pinpoint areas of weaknesses and suggest solutions; Research in economics and economic models will be necessary to better respond to a sudden disintegration. Continued research focus on the issues named above; Research community would need to continue presenting research findings that would promote understanding of markets, currency, economics, businesses and also social sciences should focus on keeping track of quality of life of EU residents and report any drastic changes so they may be tackled without delay.
Need to promote research on future changes in Europe’s monetary landscape. Recent shifts in the monetary landscape in the Europe indicate that stability is a key issue that needs to be carefully monitored. Recent events in Greece and Iceland, and worries over the state of affairs in Spain and Portugal, demonstrate how quickly financial problems can escalate and bring down a nation state’s entire economy. This has brought on civil unrest and governmental crises. Research in the field of European monetary policy is needed in order to provide an informed policy response in the face of financial crises. New strategies for extending research and innovation infrastructure over European space may be required. | 2019-04-20T20:44:35 | http://wiwe.iknowfutures.eu/bank/wild-card/view/soft-eurolanding-or-happy-end-in-euroland-3/ |
The Reformers, and the great body of Protestant divines, in putting forth the definition of the sacraments in general, or of a sacrament as such, intended to embody the substance of what they believe Scripture to teach, or to indicate, as equally applicable to both sacraments; and in laying down what they believe concerning the general objects and the ordinary effects of the sacraments, they commonly assume, that the persons partaking in them are rightly qualified for receiving and improving them,—and further, and more specially, that the persons baptized are adults. It is necessary to keep these considerations in view in interpreting the general description given of sacraments and of baptism, in our Confession of Faith and the other Reformed confessions; and with these assmnptions, and to this extent, there is no difficulty in the way of our maintaining the general principle, which can be established by most satisfactory evidence,—namely, that the fundamental spiritual blessings, on the possession of which the salvation of men universally depends,—justification and regeneration by faith,—are not conveyed through the instrumentality of the sacraments, but that, on the contrary, they must already exist before even baptism can be lawfully or safely received. The general tenor of Scripture language upon the subject of baptism applies primarily and directly to the baptism of adults, and proceeds upon the assumption, that the profession implied in the reception of baptism by adults,—the profession, that is, that they had already been led to believe in Christ, and to receive Him as their Saviour and their Master,—was sincere, or corresponded with the real state of their minds and hearts. It is necessary, therefore, to form our primary and fundamental conceptions of the objects and effects of baptism in itself, as a distinct subject, and in its bearing upon the general doctrine of the sacraments, from the baptism of adults and not of infants. The baptisms which are ordinarily described or referred to in the New Testament, were the baptisms of men who had lived as Jews and heathens, and who, having been led to believe in Christ,—or, at least, to profess faith in Him,—expressed and sealed this faith, or the profession of it, by complying with Christ’s requirement, that they should be baptized. This is the proper, primary, full idea of baptism; and to this the general tenor of Scripture language upon the subject, and the general description of the objects and ends of baptism, as given in our Confession of Faith, and in the other confessions of the Reformed churches, are manifestly adapted.
These statements may, at first view, appear to be large concessions to the anti-pædo-baptists, or those who oppose the lawfulness of the baptism of infants, and to affect the solidity of the ground on which the practice of pædo-baptism, which has ever prevailed almost universally in the church of Christ, is based. But I am persuaded that a more careful consideration of the subject will show that these views, besides being clearly sanctioned by Scripture, and absolutely necessary for the consistent and intelligible interpretation of our own standards, are, in their legitimate application, fitted to deprive the arguments of the anti-pædo-baptists of whatever plausibility they possess. It cannot be reasonably denied that they have much that is plausible to allege in opposition to infant baptism; but I am persuaded that the plausibility of their arguments will always appear greatest to men who have not been accustomed to distinguish between the primary and complete idea of this ordinance, as exhibited in the baptism of adults, and the distinct and peculiar place which is held by the special subject of infant baptism, and the precise grounds on which it rests. Pædo-baptists, from the causes to which I have referred, are apt to rest contented with very obscure and defective notions of the import and objects of baptism, and to confound adult and infant baptism as if the same principle must fully and universally apply to both. And in this state things, when those views of the sacraments in general, and of baptism in particular, which I have briefly explained, are pressed upon their attention, and seen and acknowledged to be well founded, they are not unlikely to imagine that these principles equally rule the case of infant baptism; and they are thus prepared to see, in the arguments of the anti-pædo-baptists, a much larger amount of force and solidity than they really possess. Hence the importance of being familiar with what should be admitted or conceded, as clearly sanctioned by Scripture, with respect to baptism in general, in its primary, complete idea,—estimating exactly what this implies, and how far it goes; and then, moreover, being well acquainted with the special subject of infant baptism as a distinct topic,—with the peculiar considerations applicable to it, and the precise grounds on which its lawfulness and obligation can be established.
It is not my purpose to enter upon a full discussion of infant baptism, or an exposition of the grounds on which the views of pædo-baptists can, as I believe, be successfully established and vindicated. I shall merely make a few observations on what it is that pædo-baptists really maintain,—on the distinct and peculiar place which the doctrine of infant baptism truly occupies,—and on the relation in which it stands to the general subject of baptism and the sacraments; believing that correct apprehensions upon these points are well fitted to illustrate the grounds on which infant baptism rests in all their strength, and the insufficiency of the reasons by which the opposite view has been supported.
Let me then, in the first place, remark that intelligent pædo-baptists hold all those views of the sacraments and of baptism which I have endeavoured to explain, and are persuaded that they can hold them in perfect consistency with maintaining that the infants of believing parents ought to be baptized. There is nothing in these views peculiar to the anti-pædo-baptists; and there is, we are persuaded, no real advantage which they can derive from them in support of their opinions. These views are clearly sanctioned by our Confession of Faith; while, at the same time, it contains also the following proposition as a part of what the word of God teaches upon the subject of baptism:* “Not only those that do actually profess faith in and obedience unto Christ, but also the infants of one or both believing parents are to be baptized.” Now, let it be observed that this position is all that is essential to the doctrine of the pædo-baptists, as such. We are called upon to maintain nothing more upon the subject than this plain and simple proposition, which merely asserts the lawfulness and propriety of baptizing the infants of believing parents. Let it be noticed also, that the statement is introduced merely as an adjunct or appendage to the general doctrine of baptism; not as directly and immediately comprehended under it, any more than under the general definition given of a sacrament, but as a special addition to it, resting upon its own distinct and peculiar grounds. This is the true place which infant baptism occupies; this is the view that ought to be taken of it; and I am persuaded that it is when contemplated and investigated in this aspect, that there comes out most distinctly and palpably the sufficiency of the arguments in favour of it, and the sufficiency of the objections against it. On this, as on many other subjects, the friends of truth have often injured their cause, by entering to fully and minutely into explanations of their doctrines, for the purpose of commending them to men’s acceptance, and solving the difficulties by which they seemed to be beset. They have thus involved themselves in great difficulties, by trying to defend their own minute and unwarranted explanations, as if they were an essential part of the Scripture doctrine. It is easy enough to prove form Scripture that the Father is God, that the Son is God, and that the Holy Ghost is God, and that they are not three Gods, but one God; but many of the more detailed explanations of the doctrine of the Trinity which have been given by its friends, have been untenable and indefensible, and have only laid it open unnecessarily to the attacks of its enemies. In like manner, we think it no difficult matter to produce from Scripture sufficient and satisfactory evidence of the position, that the infants of believing parents are to be baptized; by minute and detailed expositions of the reasons and the effects of infant baptism are unwarranted by Scripture; they impose an unnecessary burden upon the friends of truth, and tend only to give an advantage to its opponents. The condition and fate of infants, and the principles by which they are determined, have always been subjects on which men, not unnaturally, have been prone to speculate, but on which Scripture has given us little explicit information beyond this, that salvation through Christ is just as accessible to them as to adults. One form in which this tendency to speculate unwarrantably about infants has been exhibited, is that of inventing theories about the objects and effects of infant baptism. These theories are often made to rest as a burden upon the scriptural proof of the lawfulness and propriety of the mere practice itself: and thus have the appearance of communicating to that proof, which is amply sufficient for its own proper object, their own essential weakness and invalidity.
It is manifest that, from the nature of the case, the principles that determine and indicate the objects and effects of baptism in adults and infants, cannot be altogether the same; and the great difficulty of the whole subject lies in settling, as far as we can, what modifications our conceptions of baptism should undergo in the case of infants, as distinguished from that of adults; and, at the same time, to show that, even with these modifications, the essential and fundamental ideas involved in the general doctrine ordinarily professed concerning baptism are still preserved. The investigation even of this point is, perhaps, going beyond the line of what is strictly necessary for the establishment of the position, that the infants of believing parents are to be baptized. But some notice of it can scarcely by avoided in the discussion of the question.
The scriptural evidence, in support of the position that the infants of believing parents are to be baptized, consists chiefly in the proof which the word of God affords, to the following effect:—that, in the whole history of our race, God’s covenanted dealings with His people, with respect to spiritual blessings, have had regard to their children as well as to themselves; so that the children as well as the parents have been admitted to the spiritual blessings of God’s covenants, and to the outward signs and seals of these covenants;—that there is no evidence that this general principle, so full of mercy and grace, and so well fitted to nourish faith and hope, was to be departed from, or laid aside, under the Christian dispensation; but, on the contrary, a great deal to confirm the conviction that it was to continue to be acted on;—that the children of believers are capable of receiving, and often do in fact receive, the blessings of the covenant, justification and regeneration; and are therefore—unless there be some very express prohibition, either by general principle or specific statement—admissible and entitled to the outward sign and seal of these blessings;—that there is a federal holiness, as distinguished from a personal holiness, attaching, under the Christian as well as the Jewish economy, to the children of believing parents, which affords a sufficient ground for their admission, by an outward ordinance, into the fellowship of the church;—and that the commission which our Saviour gave to His apostles, and the history we have of the way in which they exercised this commission, decidedly favour the conclusion, that they admitted the children of believers along with their parents, and because of their relation to their parents, into the communion of the church by baptism.
This line of argument, though in some measure inferential, is, we are persuaded, amply sufficient in cumulo to establish the conclusion, that the children of believing parents are to be baptized, unless either the leading positions of which it consists can be satisfactorily proved to have no sanction from Scripture, or some general position can be established which proves the incompatibility of infant baptism, either with the character of the Christian dispensation in general, or with the qualities and properties of the ordinance of baptism in particular. I do not mean to enter upon the consideration of the specific scriptural evidence in support of the different positions that constitute the proof of the lawfulness and propriety of baptizing the children of believing parents, or of the attempts which have been made to disprove them singly, and in detail. I can only advert to the general allegation, that infant baptism is inconsistent with some of the qualities or properties of the ordinance of baptism, as it is set before us in Scripture.
It is manifestly nothing to the purpose to say, in support of this general allegation, that baptism in the case of infants cannot be, in all respects, the same as baptism in the case of adults; or, that we cannot give so full and specific an account of the objects and effects of infant as of adult baptism. These positions are certainly both true; but they manifestly concern merely incidental points, not affecting the root of the matter, and afford no ground for any such conclusion as the unlawfulness of infant baptism. In the case of the baptism of adults, we can speak clearly and decidedly as to the general objects, and the ordinary effects, of the administration of the ordinance. The adult receiving baptism is either duly qualified, and suitably prepared for it, or he is not. If he is not duly qualified, his baptism is a hypocritical profession of a state of mind and heart that does not exist; and, of course, it can do him no good, but must be sin, and, as such, must expose him to the divine displeasure. If he is duly qualified and suitably prepared, then his baptism, though it does not convey to him justification and regeneration, which he must have before received through faith, impresses upon his mind, through God’s blessing, their true nature and grounds, and strengthens his faith to realize more fully his own actual condition, as an unworthy recipient of unspeakable mercies, and his obligations to live to God’s praise and glory. We are unable to put any such clear and explicit alternative in the case of the baptism of infants, or give any very definite account of the way and manner in which it bears upon or affects them individually. Men have often striven hard in their speculations to lay down something precise and definite, in the way of general principle or standard, as to the bearing and effect of baptism in relation to the great blessings of justification and regeneration in the case of infants individually. But the Scripture really affords no adequate materials for doing this; for we have no sufficient warrant for asserting, even in regard to infants, to whom it is God’s purpose to give at some time justification and regeneration, that He uniformly or ordinarily gives it to them before or at their baptism. The discomfort of this state of uncertainty, the difficulty of laying down any definite doctrine upon this subject, has often led men to adopt one or other of two opposite extremes, which have the appearance of greater simplicity and definiteness,—that is, either to deny the lawfulness of infant baptism altogether, or to embrace the doctrine of baptismal justification and regeneration, and to represent all baptized infants, or at least all the baptized infants of believing parents, as receiving these great blessings in and with the external ordinances, or as certainly and infallibly to receive them at some future time. But this is manifestly unreasonable. “True fortitude of understanding,” according to the admirable and well-known saying of Paley, “consists in not suffering what we do know, to be disturbed by what we do not know.” And assuredly, if there be sufficient scriptural grounds for thinking that the infants of believing parents are to be baptized, it can be no adequate ground for rejecting, or even doubting, the truth of this doctrine, that we have no sufficient materials for laying down any precise or definite proposition of a general kind as to the effect of baptism in the case of infants individually.
But the leading allegation of the anti-pædo-baptists on this department of the subject is, that it is inconsistent with the nature of baptism, as set before us in Scripture, that it should be administered to any, except upon the ground of a previous possession of faith by the person receiving it. If this proposition could be established, it would, of course, preclude the baptism of infants who have not faith, and who could not profess it if they had it. We are persuaded that this proposition cannot be established, though we admit that a good deal which is plausible can be adduced from Scripture in support of it. It is admitted that all persons who are in a condition to possess and to profess faith, must possess and profess it before they can lawfully or safely receive the ordinance of baptism. This can be easily established from Scripture. It is admitted, also, that the ordinary tenor of Scripture language concerning baptism has respect, primarily and principally, to persons in this condition,—that is, to adults,—and that thus a profession of faith is ordinarily associated with the Scripture notices of the administration of baptism; so that, as has been explained, we are to regard baptism upon a profession of faith, as exhibiting the proper type and full development of the ordinance. Had we no other information bearing upon the subject in Scripture than what has now been referred to, this might be fairly enough regarded as precluding the baptism of infants; but in the absence of anything which, directly or by implication, teaches that this previous profession of faith is of the essence of the ordinance, and universally necessary to its legitimate administration and reception, an inference of this sort is not sufficient to neutralize the direct and positive evidence we have in Scripture in favour of the baptism of infants. The only thing which seems to be really of the essence of the ordinance in this respect is, that the parties receiving it are capable of possessing, and have a federal interest in, the promise of the spiritual blessings which it was intended to signify and to seal. Now, the blessing which baptism was intended to signify and seal are justification and regeneration,—that is, the washing away of guilt, and the washing away of depravity. These, and these alone, are the spiritual blessings which the washing with water in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost, directly signifies and represents. Faith does not stand in the same relation to baptism as these blessing do, and for this obvious and conclusive reason, that it is not directly and expressly signified or represented in the external ordinance itself, as they are.
Faith is, indeed, ordinarily, and in the case of all who are capable of it, the medium or instrument through which these indispensable blessing are conveyed; and there is certainly much better scriptural evidence in support of the necessity of faith in order to being saved, than in support of the necessity of faith in order to being saved, than in support of the necessity of a profession, of faith in order to being baptized. But yet it is quite certain, that faith is not universally necessary in order to a right to these blessings, or to the actual possession of them. It is universally admitted that infants, though incapable of faith, are capable of salvation, and are actually saved; and they cannot be saved unless they be justified and regenerated. And since it is thus certain that infants actually receive the very blessing which baptism signifies and represents, without the presence of the faith which is necessary to the possession of these blessings in adults,—while yet the Scripture has much more explicitly connected faith and salvation than it has ever connected faith and baptism,—there can be no serious difficulty in the idea of their admissibility to the outward sign and seal of these blessings, without a previous profession of faith.
If it be said that something more than a mere capacity of receiving the blessings which baptism signifies and represents, is necessary to warrant the administration of it, since the ordinance is, in its general nature and character, distinguishing, and it is not all infants that are admitted to it—it is not difficult to show, that not only does the admission of this general idea, as pertaining to the essence of the doctrine of baptism, net preclude the baptism of infants, but that we have in their case what is fairly analogous to the antecedently existing ground, which is the warrant or foundation of the administration of it to adults. In the case of adults, this antecedent ground or warrant is their own faith professed; and in the case of the infants of believing parents, it is their interest in the covenant which, upon scriptural principle, they possess simply as the children of believing parents,—the federal holiness which can he proved to attach to them, in virtue of God’s arrangements and promises, simply upon the ground of their having been born of parents who are themselves comprehended in the covenant. If this general principle can be shown to be sanctioned by Scripture,—and we have no doubt that it can be conclusively established,—then it affords an antecedent ground or warrant for the admission of the children of believing parents to the ordinance of baptism analogous to that which exists in believing adults,—a ground or warrant the relevancy and validity of which cannot be affected by anything except a direct and conclusive proof of the absolute and universal necessity of a profession of faith, as the only sufficient ground or warrant, in every instance, of the administration of baptism; and no such proof has been, or can be, produced. | 2019-04-24T12:47:37 | https://renopres.com/2017/03/26/william-cunningham-infant-baptism/ |

We’ve been cruising around the Yorkshire waterways to check the map data is up to date, especially those waterways without towpaths which I can’t cycle to check that way.
Now we’re moored in the Basin at Leeds ready to start filming the Leeds and Liverpool Canal tomorrow (Monday) if the forecast rain keeps away long enough, otherwise on Tuesday which has forecast sunshine.
Waterway Routes moored in Leeds Basin.
Severe restrictions on lock opening times to save water during the prolonged dry spell mean we will have to be careful with our timings. We need to make sure we reach the junction at Wigan within two weeks before the canal is closed completely.
Then we’ll need to pause somewhere while we wait for the collapsed culvert to be repaired on the way into Liverpool. I just hope that’s completed on time as we can’t wait too long before heading south to meet other commitments.
We’re aiming to take two days to reach the top of Bingley Five Rise and complete the many staircase locks out of Leeds – that’s by Tuesday evening (or Wednesday evening if the rain delays our departure).
Please give a big wave if you see us – you might appear in the next Leeds & Liverpool DVD. | 2019-04-21T08:57:13 | https://www.waterwayroutes.co.uk/blog/2018/07/leeds-and-liverpool/ |
Believe it or not, New Zealand employers are under no specific legal obligation to provide a payslip to their staff. Yes, you read that right.
However, employees do have the legal right to see information about how their employer has worked out their wages and to see time records relating to their hours of work.
So even though they don’t have to, the vast majority of employers do provide electronic or paper payslips to their staff each pay day. And why wouldn’t you? It’s an easy way to give your employees a warm fuzzy. Everyone loves getting paid!
While the law doesn’t specify what information needs to be included on a payslip in NZ, we’ve got a tried and tested payslip template here at FlexiTime that is used to pay tens of thousands of employees across New Zealand every week.
There is some ability to customise payslips from within FlexiTime. You can add your company logo and customise the email message that is sent to employees with their payslip, or add notes to a specific employee’s payslip.
You can also choose which leave balances you show. We recommend showing annual leave available. This includes any leave accrued in advance. It’s the balance most useful to employees, but assumes that you are happy for your staff to take leave as they accrue it rather than wait until they become entitled to it after 12 months.
While anyone can use this payslip template, generating payslips from a payroll software system like FlexiTime, then emailing them to staff automatically, is the easiest and most efficient way. | 2019-04-26T14:22:40 | https://www.flexitime.co.nz/blog/payslip-template-nz |

Today on PPBF I’m featuring another author participating in the WOW retreat.
Jill Esbaum, a rhymer, hits age-old childhood themes in new and creative ways.
(from worldcat.org) When a giant hand scoops up her mama, Teeny the tiny toad hops like lightning to her big brothers: “Mama’s stuck inside a bucket! Help!” “Don’t you worry, kid. We’ll save her!” the boys promise. But as the brothers bumble and stumble to the rescue, it becomes clear: brawn can’t always beat brains, and the smallest girl may be the smartest of all.
Writing: If you were Teeny Tiny Toady, how would you have solved the problem? Write a new ending to the story.
Reading skills: Identify the rhymes. Extend with more.
This book has won numerous awards. Nadine, the cow, claims that she’s not afraid of anything. Her friends call her bluff, and they head into the deep, dark woods.
For writers, this is an excellent book to examine rhyme and pacing. Also her character development – Nadine is pure child, faces her fears, and maintains her dignity.
This one deals with peer fear – a tough-guy dog who’s afraid his brothers will laugh at him if he exposes his love of writing poetry. The contrast between his street life and inner musings is fun and aptly illustrates the conflict between our outer and inner selves. The ending is great. Kids will get it from the illustration, but parents will chuckle at another level. Love this book!
Fellow writers will feel his pain: He scribbled and scrawled. Reconsidered. Erased. He wadded up papers. He pondered. He paced. He scoured his thesaurus. He struggled for rhymes. He started from scratch at least eighty-two times.
I love the theme of “Teeny Tiny Toady.” Big and loud isn’t always best — small and thoughtful might just get the job done. They rhyme sounds like it works well. I like quiet books. Also enjoyed your comments about Jill Esbaum’s other two books, “I Am Cow Hear Me Moo!” and “Stanza.” Fun to study an author’s rhyming style.
I’ve already added Jill’s books to my library– ❤ them! | 2019-04-23T04:45:45 | https://bethandersonwriter.com/2016/06/24/teeny-tiny-toady-and-other-esbaum-favorites/ |
The private life of cats!
Are you watching the BBC2 series investigating the private lives of cats? (http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b02xcvhw/Horizon_20122013_The_Secret_Life_of_the_Cat/) Isn’t it fascinating? Cats are naturally hunters and I’ve heard it said they are the biggest predators of garden birds. The ones on the TV don’t seem to have killed a lot of birds but what the programme reveals is that their owners really have no idea what they are up to! I haven’t got a cat at the moment but we used to have a lovely ginger moggie when I was a child. There are feral cats at Brogdale and plenty of prey for them to feast on but the regular feline visitor to Grow plant centre looks as though she has got past the stage of being able to chase anything. Well-fed rabbits frolic around the demonstration vegetable patch and don’t mention the rats! I was inspired by the bit of the programme where a cattle farmer had lots of cats to keep the rats down and he found them much more effective than poison bait. Last summer I borrowed a cat over a couple of weekends to try and keep all the small furry animals out of the snail pen. Spot was a garden cat – she lived out of doors with her owners rather than in the house and she was a seasoned hunter. She disappeared into the undergrowth, tail held high, as soon as I released her from her travelling basket. I arrived each morning to find a neat row of small corpses waiting for me and a beaming cat expecting to be praised.
Dusty and Freddie ferret were less effective at actually catching anything. But their smell was supposed to frighten potential prey into vacating their homes.
They scampered about investigating, burrowing enthusiastically and climbing up and over anything they could cling to. Freddie made collections of interesting objects to play with - cherries and bits of vegetable stolen from the snails. Dusty played with the snails instead. She noticed that when she kicked one it produced froth. She found that very exciting and went round kicking some more to see if they all did it. They were definitely more of a nuisance than a help.
Now I’m watching the programme, I’m quite tempted to get a cat. But I fancy one of those lovely bengals and I bet they eat a lot. Do I really need another mouth to feed and another responsibility?

The advancing legions of the Empire went too far to the North and were intercepted by a great pagan wizard. Long-bearded and white-haired he was, and pretty great in the belly department. He keeps beautiful girls as prisoners in his weird castle and demands every passing rider to bubble-bath their horses under the fear of turning into reindeers! And they have to pick a girl, going with both of them is not allowed! Our cavalry squads are too large to accept this challenge one by one, and we need a hero like you to cope with this task! | 2019-04-21T10:15:41 | https://slotsempire.com/en/practice/naughty-or-nice-3/ |

DELUDED Arsene Wenger lost the Euro plot last night as he declared: “This club is in great shape,” after a 10-2 aggregate humiliation by Bayern Munich.
The fuming Arsenal boss oversaw the heaviest defeat by any British team in Champions League history.
Yet he refused to even discuss his Emirates future and insisted last night’s 5-1 hammering was all the fault of Greek ref Tasos Sidiropoulos.
“I think we can compete with Bayern Munich and we have shown that tonight in the first-half,” Wenger amazingly declared.
“We produced a performance with the spirit and the pride that we wanted.
“This club is in great shape that at this moment is going through a difficult situation.
“We really put Bayern under pressure but the referee killed the game tonight and that was absolutely scandalous.
“Bayern are a good side but tonight they can say ‘thankyou’ to the referee for the irresponsible decisions in the second-half.
The Emirates was half empty at the final whistle after five Bayern goals in a devastating second-half spell prompted forlorn chants of “We want Wenger out”.
But the stubborn Frenchman has no intention of standing down and snapped: “You are always worried about your headlines, but I am here to speak about football, not about my future.
“I know we will take a lot of criticism and we have to take it on the chin, but that won’t change my mind about tonight because we were really unlucky.
“We have to stand up and give all kind of explanations but at the end of the day the referee is the reason for this result.
“There was no uncertainty in our game. I felt we played very well. That is what leaves me very angry and frustrated.
“We knew before the game that it was very difficult to qualify. We wanted at least to go home feeling we dealt with the situation with pride and commitment and we have done that.
“The fact that the end result will not highlight the quality of our performance was very disappointing.
Wenger was particularly with Laurent Koscielny’s 53rd minute sending-off for a foul on Robert Lewandowski after originally only showing a yellow card to the Arsenal skipper.
“In the first-half it was a 100 per cent penalty on Walcott that was not given and then they gave a penalty when Lewandowski was offside. | 2019-04-21T20:15:46 | https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/3035984/arsene-wenger-arsenal-great-shape-bayern-munich/ |
Tehran, SANA- Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran Ali Admiral Shamkhani underlined the importance of cooperation between Syria and Iran to eliminate terrorism, referring to the great victories achieved by Syria in this regard against Daesh (ISIS) and Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist organizations.
“Dialogue with the neighboring states is the best choice to overcome the existing security crises,” Shamkhani added.
On the other hand, he considered that the hostility with the US is the biggest challenge facing the Iranian foreign policy, indicating that the US since the triumph of the Islamic Revolution has tried to stand against the interests of the Iranian people. | 2019-04-21T10:15:37 | https://sana.sy/en/?p=156217 |
With over 2,500 animals throughout eighty acres – you are in for a extremely wild time at Paignton Zoo. During a routine cleansing of enclosures, which was taking place when the attack occurred, the animals are secured right into a separate house earlier than the workers enter their dwelling area, in response to a zoo official. Conservation is a ardour that drives us to protect threatened species and their habitats, from the jungles of Borneo to our personal animals right here on the Zoo.
Meet our keepers, see our animals up shut and learn to assist wildlife. In a profile of Matthai, which has since been taken down from the Conservators Heart web site, he is described as shy and “slightly nervous by nature.” A spokesperson stated the lion was born on the zoo and was 14 years previous. Collectively we can enhance animal care, scale back threatening processes, and save endangered species.
Our volunteers are united by their passion for animals and conservation and we provide quite a few alternatives for devoted people from all walks of life in nearly every aspect of of our operation. Gift a Philadelphia Zoo animal and assist support the Zoo’s mission and provide funds to verify our animals obtain the perfect care. By supporting the Oregon Zoo Basis, you’re helping to create a greater future for wildlife.
Frost told NBC Information she hopes individuals will give Black’s family, the Conservators Heart, and the zoo’s different lions time to grieve. The Conservators Center recognized the lion as Matthai, one of many more than dozen lions on the zoo. Discover the Zoo’s lovely gardens as they rework into an winter wonderland for animals from around the globe. | 2019-04-21T10:08:19 | http://360petsnetwork.com/go-to.html |

Hawaii's efforts to reduce youth access to tobacco products lifted the state's C grade in that area to a B in the American Lung Association's annual State of Tobacco Control report.
Tickets can be purchased at the theater box office, by calling 528-0506 or online at hawaiitheatre.com/boxoffice.html.
The state retained its 2006 A grades for Tobacco Control Program funding and smoke-free air and a B in the cigarette tax category.
Hawaii is one of only six states that funds tobacco control programs at levels recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Its total expenditures of $11,406,063 last year to bat- tle tobacco surpassed the CDC recommendation of $10,780,000 for the state, according to the national report.
The report card gave F's to 32 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico for tobacco prevention and control funding.
Youth access data shows about 12.6 percent of Hawaii's youth population smokes, which exceeds a state goal to reduce smoking to 16 percent in that age group by 2010, the ALA of Hawaii said in a news release.
The national organization recommended a higher cigarette tax in Hawaii, but the state raised the tax Sept. 30 to $1.80 from $1.60 per pack and further increases are scheduled in the next four years.
ALA of Hawaii President Karen Lee said the lung association helped to pass an amendment in last year's Legislature to raise the cigarette tax in 20-cent increments through 2011 and distribute the tax revenue to programs to stop smoking.
The annual report card gave the federal government only D's and F's for measures to control tobacco.
Fewer than half of the states have laws to prevent secondhand smoke, and cigarette taxes are below the national average in 28 states and the District of Columbia, the report said.
"Now is the time for leaders at the federal, state and local levels to summon the political will to do what's right and finally shut the door on this country's tobacco epidemic," Bernadette Toomey, ALA president and chief executive officer, said in a statement about the report.
Preventable tobacco-related diseases kill more than 438,000 Americans annually, she pointed out.
Jean Evans, executive director of ALA Hawaii, said the 2006 law passed by the Legislature to prohibit smoking in indoor public places and neighboring areas "is a major advance in health quality and is worth protecting."
More than two dozen Hawaii entertainers are volunteering their time for an "ALAH Breathe Concert -- Clean Air for Everyone," at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Hawaii Theatre.
The fundraising event is aimed at supporting Hawaii's laws to protect people from secondhand smoke. | 2019-04-22T14:08:13 | http://archives.starbulletin.com/2008/01/11/news/story08.html |

The industry will, directly and indirectly, employ 5.6 million people worldwide by the end of the decade and have a projected tax impact of $24 billion, the ‘Global Economic Impact of Muslim Tourism and Future Growth Projection: 2017-2020’ report by Salam Standard has revealed.
Inbound Muslim travellers spent an estimated $127 billion in 2017, which is forecast to rise to at least $157 billion by 2020.
The US has the highest GDP impact from Muslim travel for an individual country, expected to reach $21.4 billion by 2020. The Middle East comes in second place, with a projected $18 billion, while Asia is rapidly closing the gap with Europe, at $12.6 billion and $13.3 billion respectively.
The Middle East is by far the largest source market worldwide in this respect, contributing $62.2 billion in 2017 and forecast to rise to $72 billion in 2020, with a 59 per cent market share. Travellers from Saudi Arabia and the UAE are the biggest spenders, with their share of the global total predicted to reach a staggering 41 per cent by the end of the decade.
The report provides travel industry stakeholders, including airlines, airports, hotels, travel start-ups, technology firms, tourism boards, Destination Management Companies and Online Travel Agencies (OTAs), with advice on how to best cater and market to the global Muslim travel community.
It highlights the opportunities for non-Muslim destinations, providing examples of countries who have benefited from ‘halal tourism’ strategies targeting Muslim travellers.
In Australia, for example, inbound Muslim travel is expected to contribute 10.3 per cent of total tourism GDP by 2020, while in Singapore and Thailand, the contributions are forecast at 16.5 per cent and 9.5 per cent respectively.

The first level of healing is Insight.
When a person realizes that they have a deep inner conflict in their lives — from a wound of self-negativity, how they got that wound, and how it has already been driving their big life decisions all throughout their lives — the insight of all these realizations, even on its own, is already powerfully healing and can often feel like a huge relief.
“I can’t believe I’ve never seen this before!” and “I finally understand why I feel the way I feel!” are things we often hear during this first remarkable level of the healing journey.
This is the momentum that drives us forward into the other levels, but even if the student stops here, it is already wonderful because they have already been able to get a tremendous measure of insight and relief from their long-term suffering and frustration.
With the insight of things like shielding and soothing, and how self-negativity gets inflicted by others, we then move to the second level of healing, Changes.
At this level, a person is starting to use their new-found insight to brainstorm and implement a flurry of “quick-hit” changes to how they shield, soothe and generally think about defending themselves from the self-negative attacks of both their own inner voice, and external people alike.
This is a tremendously empowering phase for the student. They feel like they are finally “learning the rules” of a powerful game, where they can finally do more to defend themselves from abuse, absolve themselves from falsely-assigned guilt and shame, and live their lives more happily and with more confidence — all immediately, and with no delay. They are limited only by their imaginations in how best to apply these insights to their own unique situations.
The Changes level is an extraordinary phase of the healing process, and even if the student stops here, their lives have been permanently changed for the better — they are already calmer, happier and stronger in the face of their inner conflict and self-negativity.
The third level of the journey is itself called Healing.
At this level, we begin to move deeper — beyond the level of improving our shielding and soothing mechanisms — to the profound task of healing the underlying wound itself.
Remember — the original cause of the inner conflict within you was the cutting off and estrangement of a fully valid part of your core inner self. This exiled part of you — with its justified anger — is now the primary driver of the self-negative, self-punishing voice that is deeply in conflict with you.
Fighting, suppressing and numbing the inner voice will obviously not work — you can’t actually “kill” it and just “get on with your life”, because it is you. So then the only other way to stop the conflict is to find the deepest source of the exiled, wounded voice, and to attempt heal it directly — by hearing its message, without suppressing it or running away, and ultimately finding a way to recruit it back to your side.
This is easier said than done of course — but it is also the key to your life.
And if you can manage the courage to try (and not run away), you’ll be amazed at how doors will open which you didn’t even realize were there, while ever-deeper flashes of insight work to propel you to your ultimate goal.
The cut off, estranged part of your core did not go into exile willingly — it was pushed out — and in reality, it desperately wants to come back home.
So if you commit to the challenge of healing your inner wound, and restoring your inner self back to wholeness, then the exiled part of you — so powerful in its own right — will move heaven and earth to clear a path for you to find it.
Then you will be healed — your whole inner self will become restored.
Once you have healed and restored yourself to wholeness, you will typically find that you have a lot of catching up to do!
Your whole, healed self will be literally bigger, more powerful, and more bountiful than your previous wounded self — and the many aspects of your life will begin to automatically realign to this new center.
Your very language will change — the way you speak to yourself internally will be completely different and non-negative — and the people around you will adjust and align to this as well.
You will work differently, you will love differently. You will parent VERY differently. Even your posture will change. External conflicts will also diminish, as aggressors steer clear to look for weaker targets.
Above all, you will no longer need to shield and soothe as you did before, because your underlying wound will be healed.
Money will be just money again. Food will be just food. Drugs, alcohol and meaningless relationships will fall away from the path of your life.
You will love yourself, as you are, with no changes required, other than for your pleasure — and never out of fear or self-loathing.
Level four then, is Integration — the integration of your healed, whole self back into the world, and the process of aligning all the aspects of your regular life, to flow in harmony with your new and self-luminous center.
Now that you are free and at peace, what will you do with all that extra time and energy?
At Preside, we strongly believe that every person has within them a collection of “lines of bliss”, which are innate and naturally-occurring, like the lines of grain in wood.
To follow the flow of these lines of bliss is to find, eventually, the true purpose and meaning of your life — which you will also discover to be deeply entwined with the well-being of the life of the world around you.
And the most common barrier to bliss in most people, had precisely been this wound of self-negativity and inner conflict that you will have just lovingly healed in levels 1–4.
And now… your inner barriers have been removed, and your lines of bliss are unblocked. And now these lines will start to flow powerfully through you, and then continue on to extend out into the life of the world around you. You will enter into a deep and fruitful period of aligning all aspects of your life to be in concert with the naturally-occurring lines of your bliss.
Your whole, healed self will not just sit there — it will powerfully move to its naturally-occurring, innate purpose.
Your personal firsthand experience of it will be one of “bliss”, life meaning, and deep fulfillment — but larger impact of the resulting work — whatever it turns out to be — will be deeply for the benefit of not just yourself, but for the benefit of the life of the entire world all around you.
This then is the fifth (and lifelong) level of the healing process: Bliss.
Thank you for reading this far. This is the extraordinary progression I have witnessed in my students, and I hope this description has been helpful for you.

JOSE MOURINHO believes the fixture list has hampered Chelsea's bid for Capital One Cup glory - and handed Arsenal an unfair advantage.
The Blues will have just one day's rest before the pair meet at the Emirates tomorrow and Mourinho has suggested the League Cup has been denied a true spectacle between two form sides.
Mourinho said: "We are going to give the game that the people that put the game on Tuesday want.
"If they want a big game, we cannot give the big game.
"If they want the players that were playing (on Sunday), we cannot give them that.
"If they want Arsenal to win a trophy, that's a help, because if they want a big game between two big teams in London, they should put the game on Wednesday and not on Tuesday." | 2019-04-23T15:54:47 | https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/347688/VIDEO-The-Arsenal-and-Chelsea-fans-have-been-robbed-Jose-Mourinho |
This week’s Ask Carolyn deals with a New Year’s surprise in South Beach Miami and my eight steps to keep a New Year’s resolution.
I heard a rumor last week, and the rumor is true. The rumor I heard is that my estranged husband was going to South Beach with my best friend’s daughter, a young hot blonde.
It is New Year’s Eve. I’m sitting at home, saving money. And I turned on my television to see what others were doing on New Year’s. There is my ex on a red carpet on Ocean Drive in South Beach Miami. The plaything is the age of his daughter, and she is glued to him in a hot pink jumpsuit and what looks like four-inch heels going down a red carpet runway in South Beach.
He says he is having money troubles and cut his voluntary support by $2,500 this month. Now I know why, and I know what he did with my $2,500. I did DVR this television “scene.” There appears there was a red carpet leading to the South Beach party, and that is where the TV cameras were. Can I use my video clip? I am furious. Plus, I want my $2,500.
Do not dwell on what your ex is doing, but getting a little even might feel good in this situation.
Your alimony appears at this point to be voluntary (otherwise he would have consequences for cutting your money). While your ex is technically free to date as a separated man under North Carolina law, it is likely not wise to be so high profile, since he is not divorced. He certainly should have skipped the red carpet walk. He could have at least skirted behind the cameras.
Affairs that start after separation have no legal consequence as a fault in North Carolina alimony law. My first legal question is, when did this affair start? Did it start before separation? If so, you can use the post-separation conduct to “corroborate” pre-separation activity.
Build your evidence arsenal of pre-separation conduct, but keep your DVR. Have your attorney subpoena his phone records to see if he was calling her before you separated. Look at his last year’s credit card receipts to find any strange trips or purchases. Scrutinize these phone records and credit cards for a lead to new evidence.
Another way to use this information is to show his ability to pay you more. Of course, you will take the position that this trip was frivolous. Did he purchase clothing (jumpsuit) for her while cutting you short? You could do some discovery to see if your ex bought it, and I’ll bet he did as this sounds like a shopping trip while in South Beach. Your attorney can do a production of documents and interrogatories (questions in writing) to your ex. You can also make him answer questions under oath orally in a procedure known as a deposition.
For you, I suggest you find something new you enjoy doing. He sounds like he is having a mid-life crisis, and the age difference will likely catch up with your ex with regard to your children. At any rate, he is doing what he appears to enjoy and you should do the same. It is a new year. Get a new you.
I know my husband is bothered by my weight. I made a New Year’s resolution to lose weight but I’m already tempted to break the resolution. How can I be thinner by next year? I want to lose weight but it is so hard, particularly with holiday weight gain. I wish there were a magic potion.
Thanks for writing and for your candor. You are tackling a topic most of us tackle. New habits are not easy, but here are some thoughts for you. These principles apply to all behavioral change resolutions, not just weight loss.
The goal must be yours and not something you are doing for someone else. You need to embrace the goal; otherwise, you will likely fail. Think about the health benefits of the weight loss, or think about a time when you were happy with your weight.
Your goal is too vague. You need to put some numbers on your goal. For example, do you want to lose 10 pounds? Visualize how long this will take. Will it take two months, three months, how long?
Visualize how you will accomplish your goal. You must have a plan. What routines will you change to accomplish the goal? Will you eat fewer carbohydrates like bread? Will you cut out or down on that glass of wine at the end of the day? Will you stop eating after 6 p.m.?
See a nutritionist or join a weight watch program for accountability.
Make a public declaration of your goals and ask for support of those immediately around you.
What tempts you? Is it the doughnuts that are delivered to the office by a well-meaning customer? Can you avoid that area of your office? Try to avoid the temptations as much as feasible.
Visualize yourself having accomplished the goal. How will you look and feel?

I spent a decent chunk of my morning trying to figure out how to construct a sparse adjacency matrix for use with graph.adjacency(). I’d have thought that this would be rather straight forward, but I tripped over a few subtle issues with the Matrix package. My biggest problem (which in retrospect seems rather trivial) was that elements in my adjacency matrix were occupied by the pipe symbol.
[1,] . . . . . | . . . .
[2,] . . . . . . . | . .
[3,] . . . . . . . . . .
[4,] . . . . . . . . . .
[5,] . . . . | . . . . .
[6,] . . . . . . . . . .
[7,] . . . . . . . . . .
[8,] . . . . . . . . . .
[9,] . . . . . . . . . .
[10,] . | . . . . . . . .
Of course, the error message I was encountering didn’t point me to this fact. No, that would have been far too simple! The solution is highlighted in the sample code below: you need to specify the symbol used for the occupied sites in the sparse matrix.
[1,] . . . . . 1 . . . .
[2,] . . . . . . . 1 . .
[5,] . . . . 1 . . . . .
[10,] . 1 . . . . . . . .
And can be passed into graph.adjacency() without any further issues.

The poem "The Wanderer" exhibits a melancholy tone that characterizes much Anglo-Saxon poetry. The poem is pervaded by a perception of nature as hostile, by a sense of loss and longing, by loneliness and by a generally pessimistic view of the world. Much Anglo-Saxon poetry owes its uniquely haunting beauty to its grim acceptance of a harsh world and an ineluctable fate. Such a tone was highly characteristic of the northern cultures that produced this literature.
"The Wanderer" conveys a perception of nature as harsh and cold, dangerous and inhospitable to human beings. The characteristic setting of Anglo-Saxon poetry is that of the cold, dark, European north of the middle ages, where winter was long and harsh, summer short and fickle and sunlight rare. Storms, cold, disease, war, violence and wild animals menaced the communities who lived there. Thus, in most Anglo-Saxon poetry the imagery of the natural world creates a mood of dread and gloom, rather than peace or joy. The narrator of "The Wanderer" speaks of the sea, in particular, as "ice cold," with "frozen waves." He also mentions frost, snow and hail. The picture emerges of a shivering, solitary figure, huddled against the cold and guiding his fragile boat through the damp, bitter chill and driving sleet of the northern sea.
The words "ubi sunt" mean "where are" in Latin. Scholars say a work of literature has an "ubi sunt" quality when it is pervaded by a mood of longing for the better times of the past. Such an "ubi sunt" quality is characteristic of much Anglo-Saxon poetry, which often looks back to Roman rule in Britain as a distant golden age. With the departure of Rome from Britain and the descent of the "dark ages," cities decayed, travel became difficult and dangerous, and existence in isolated villages and hamlets became poor and precarious. Thus, against the backdrop of a larger ethnic and cultural sense of loss, Anglo-Saxon literature often portrays tales of individual loss and misfortune. "The Wanderer" is a classic example of such a lament for the loss of past joys, as its narrator remembers how he once had security and safety, a happy home, friends, a family and somewhere he belonged. His past seems warm and bright, and his future bleak and cold.
Loneliness is a dominant theme of "The Wanderer," and it intensifies the sorrowful tone that characterizes the poem. The narrator has lost his family, his friends, his lord, his home and his place in society. Now, he faces the prospect of spending the rest of his life as a solitary exile. His experience is that of many Anglo-Saxon warriors whose liege-lords were killed in battle. In a society organized around the bond between a lord and his sworn liegemen, all economic and geographic security, all personal and social identity, all safety, and all economic advancement came through the connection to the lord and to the meadhall where he and his men would meet to celebrate together. Having lost these, the wanderer has also lost his family, friends and home, probably in the battle which killed his lord.
Anglo-Saxon culture and religion before the coming of Christianity were distinctively grim and pessimistic. A famous tale by the Venerable Bede recounts one king's description of human life as similar to the flight of a sparrow out of a stormy night, through the light and warmth of a hall, and out again into the blizzard. Human life, then, is brief, fragile and ultimately doomed. "The Wanderer" reflects how Christian elements incorporated into the poem offset this sense of fate, offering the hope of heaven as the reward of resignation. The general sense of the world as a dark and hostile place persists, however -- permanence is only in heaven, and all joys are fleeting in this life.

Calling it “incomprehensible” that ten years have passed “since CNN America hatched its scheme to unlawfully oust the union from CNN studios and field work at news bureaus in New York City and Washington, D.C.,” CWA is urging calls to the NLRB to win justice for 250 fired workers, members of NABET-CWA Locals 11 and 31. Despite a 5-year-old ruling in the union’s favor, “final justice has yet to arrive despite the overwhelming decision by Judge Amchan, needlessly prolonging this painful chapter for CNN members and their families,” CWA reported last week. With a fully seated NLRB now in place, CWA urged calls to the office of NLRB Chairman Mark Gaston Pearce -- 202-273-1070 – asking “What is the status of the CNN case involving NABET-CWA and when will a final decision be issued?” In other Local 31 news, federal mediation continued last week in contract talks covering workers at the U.S. House of Representatives Recording Studio, but did not result in a tentative agreement being reached, and the mediator has now released the union from mediation obligations, which means NABET-CWA can now pursue impasse, which can be resolved through binding arbitration. | 2019-04-25T21:43:49 | http://dclaborarchives.org/ht/display/ArticleDetails/i/117115/pid/527 |
In the pants or outside? Everyone arose once the issue of how to wear a shirt with jeans. The choice is made based on several criteria including the length of your shirt.
What kind of shirt are you wearing?
The main criterion for whether you should wear your shirt inside or outside of your jeans is the nature of this shirt. If there is a suitable model for the costume , the length is often more important than on a shirt casual. It is therefore not advisable to leave your shirt in your pants. Otherwise, you will end up with a shirttail happens in the middle of the thigh. Conversely, the more casual shirts are often quite short and it is sometimes impossible to house them in jeans. Until we see your skin above the waist, it passes.
Our advice: if you are not totally comfortable with your shirt tucked into your jeans, consider adding a jacket for an overall smoother rendering.
And the T-shirt under the shirt?
Again, it depends on the shirt and jacket, but let the shirt off your jeans in all cases. Avoid tank top under a white shirt could do as your grandfather. According to mbakecheng.com, prefer a white shirt and jeans with a shirt or plain -white preferably black. True, the look hipster watching you, but the result is often elegant.
Opening or closing? You choose, both styles are possible, but if you want to highlight a beautiful shirt, unbutton. And please, no more long shirt the shirt. | 2019-04-21T10:28:46 | https://www.programingplease.com/how-to-wear-a-white-shirt-with-jeans/ |

A 38-year veteran of broadcasting, Carl Akers is a name synonymous with Denver television. Early in his long and distinguished career, Carl established himself as a writer. He would take a story off the news wires, rewrite it with an economy of words and deliver it in his refined broadcasting voice.
In 1948 he went to work for KLZ Radio. His down-to-earth style in radio eventually led to television in 1953 as an anchorman and newscaster at KMGH-TV (formerly KLZ). Carl’s new and innovative attempt to bring the TV audience into the working newsroom contributed to a successful reign in the ratings for the next decade.
After a three-year sabbatical, he joined KUSA-TV (formerly KBTV) in 1968 to help build the struggling third-place station into a leading news organization in the television market. Akers took on the responsibilities of three men: anchor of the 5 o’clock and 10 o’clock newscasts, as well as news director for both the radio and television newsrooms. He made it a point to hire talent who were journalists first and personalities second. In 1976 Akers was named vice president of news and began doing commentaries for Channel 9, a trademark of 9News for a decade. As a result of his television writing, Akers has authored two books – Carl Akers’ Colorado and Carl Akers’ Comments.
Carl’s intense love of Colorado and his excitement about living in this state came across on television. He has brought more Colorado history to television than anyone else in the business.
A recipient of many awards for his achievements, it is indeed fitting that the Colorado Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences recognizes Carl Akers with the Governor’s Award for his outstanding contribution to Denver television and his uncompromising journalistic standards. | 2019-04-19T02:30:36 | https://emmyawards.tv/about/heartland-chapter-board-of-governors/board-of-governors-award/carl-akers/ |

For years I've suffered so stinkin bad from allergies. I used to have to take 4 allergy meds just to live somewhat comfortably each day. I would take two oral pills and two different nasal sprays. I absolutely hate taking any meds because of the damage it does to the body. Meds are poison to our system.
Some illnesses can definitely be helped with meds so don't think I'm warding off all purposes and uses for them. In the case of allergies they are something that we can avoid having to take if we make the necessary dietary changes to promote healthy living. This trickles over from just trying to be healthy or having a healthy mindset to that of actually being healthy and living it every day.
There are a few things that I recommend for making our bodies balanced and combating allergies head on as well as achieving lasting health overall. First I recommend infrequent to zero grain consumption. They are not healthy whatsoever.
That's the bottom line and I encourage you to not buy into the food industry and government propaganda regarding eating your Wheaties and oatmeal for fiber and a healthy heart. That's rubbish! More on that here: Grains Are Unhealthy.
Once you've removed grains from your diet it'll take about 8 weeks to fully reap the rewards from this and any direct changes internally, but you'll notice the fat loss and energy effects almost overnight.
People also recommend taking bee pollen for season allergies as well. Bee pollen is something, if you use it, to definitely get locally or as local as you can. A lot of people like it, but many still have no changes. I am one of them. In fact it actually made me ill. You've gotta slowly work your way up, over the course of weeks, to more mega amounts- the amounts that actually make the difference IF and only IF you can internally handle it.
What I recommend is the Paleo style of eating and it is awesome not only to help your body be rid of allergic responses as much as naturally possible, but also this eating lifestyle will rebalance your body which in turn makes you lose fat fast. In the quick and short Paleo eating is eating foods that are pre-agriculture and more digestible/absorbable for human bodies.
If you desire to know more about that go here: Mark Sisson's Primal BluePrint . Personally I apply Paleo/Primal principles and Intermediate Fasting (food timing) for best results.
Another thing that's great for allergies is Quercetin which is a very good natural anti-histamine. Quercetin is a bioflavonoid from citris fruits, buckwheat, and onions. Those are the best sources, but it also comes in supplement form. When purchasing supplements pay VERY close attention and make sure no other fillers, binders, or crap is tossed in alongside it. Get quality cause you're worth it.
Alongside dietary changes just be sure to eat alkaline and anti-inflammatory. This means a lot of greens, cucumbers (are one of the most alkalizing foods), pineapple, ginger, and turmeric. Steer clear of nightshades: tomatoes, potatoes (yams and sweet are fine), all peppers, eggplant, and tobacco are the most popular.
These are pro-inflammatory foods. Yes, besides tobacco, they are health promoting; however when suffering inflammatory issues they are extremely counter-productive.
I hope that helps you overcome season allergies as well as lose weight, increase strength, and feel more energized every day of your life.

One of Starkville’s most recent additions, Churn and Spoon serves hand-dipped ice cream, nitro ice cream, and other "magnificent frozen treats."
It’s located at 605 MS-12 in Starkville.
Though only open since 2016, the eatery has already become a local favorite – long lines are the norm (but the wait it totally worth it, we promise).
Step up to the counter and peruse the display case, which is filled with artisanal, locally-made ice cream in a variety of flavors.
The "imaginative selection" includes everything from standard flavors to one-of-a-kind creations.
Stick with a classic, like chocolate or cookies and cream, or try a signature flavor, like Blue Cotton Candy or Cold Brew (pictured below).
Can’t make up your mind? No problem; you can combine several flavors for a delightfully tasty treat.
And the homemade goodness doesn't end with the ice cream.
Make your sweet treat even sweeter with a waffle cone. Made onsite, the cones come plain or dipped.
Dress us your ice cream with a variety of toppings, like fudge, gummy bears, sprinkles, and pecans.
In the mood for something a bit different? Try the nitro ice cream, which is made by combining an ice cream base with -321 degree liquid nitrogen.
The unique process prevents ice crystals from forming, resulting in a treat that tastes like a mixture of gelato and soft serve ice cream.
In addition to ice cream, you'll find plenty of other sweet treats.
Homemade popsicles, ice cream sandwiches, milkshakes, and ice cream cakes are just a few of the tasty desserts Churn and Spoon offers.
Learn more about Churn and Spoon and the unique process used to make their nitro ice cream in the video below.

We have developed a vertical motion heave damping system, which consists of two fully-automatic sub-modes: Ride Control System (RCS) and Boarding Control System (BCS ™). Unique benefits offered by this system, combined with SES and air-cushion vessel design result in excellent seakeeping, passenger comfort, substantially reduced seasickness and improved safety.
Early Surface-Effect-Ship SES designs experienced problems with the “cobblestone” effect, which produced high vertical accelerations in low sea states at high speed. The “cobblestone” phenomenon is a resonance effect due to the compression of air in the air-cushion. Activation of RCS substantially reduces “cobblestone” effect, offering a much smoother transit for passengers, with documented reduction in seasickness. This in turn, results in more efficient operations of service technicians at offshore installations.
Once a vessel approaches a wind turbine, another vessel or offshore installation, BCSTM is engaged. As a result, air cushion pressure is actively controlled to counteract wave forces. The air flow in and out of the air cushion is controlled by ventilation valves. When buoyancy of the hulls is increased, the air is ventilated from the cushion, reducing the air pressure. When buoyancy of the hulls is decreased in a wave through air pressure is increased to compensate for lost buoyancy, assuring a safe and simple ‘step-off’ to an offshore structure.
The two modes are easily switched to required operating mode, either Transit or Boarding. | 2019-04-18T16:22:59 | https://www.um.no/technology-engineering/motion-control-systems/ |

For those who would prefer that their dealings with the outside world involve as little human interaction as possible, Bank of America has just opened some branch locations that should be particularly appealing.
There are now three completely automated branches out there serving customers. These new locations give customers the option to use an ATM or video chat with employees at other branches, according to BoA spokeswoman Anne Pace. The move comes as BoA is one of many U.S. banks working to reduce its physical footprint — and make more optimized use of what physical locations remains behind.
Those better-optimized new branches are typically smaller, more technologically advanced and are structured around different products: mortgages, credit cards and auto loans, specifically.
So far, accoridng to Pace, fully automated BoA has come to Minneapolis and Denver — both of which are relatively new markets for the bank. According to Dean Athanasia, BoA could be looking to open 50-60 new branches in the next year — though with so many additional closures that 50 to 60 new locations might not represent a net increase.
Bank of America opened 31 new branches in 2016, and as of today operates 4,579 financial centers. That is a drop-off from the 4,726 BoAs operated during the fourth quarter of 2015 and the 5,900 open for business at the end of 2010. | 2019-04-18T20:43:22 | https://www.pymnts.com/news/banking/2017/bank-of-america-goes-employee-free-at-some-branch-locations/ |

A player on a successful team will sometimes be required to step up and go beyond their position’s normal responsibilities. For his part today, Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota tried his hand at becoming a crackback blocker.
On a first-and-10 from his team’s 24-yard line, Mariota knocked over Giants linebacker Alec Ogletree to help Derrick Henry complete a 12-yard run.
Jeez. Ogletree might have roughly 25 pounds on Mariota, but it didn’t help there. | 2019-04-25T16:24:48 | https://deadspin.com/marcus-mariota-brings-alec-ogletree-to-his-knees-with-p-1831131949 |

I reckon this product to my other friends who are trying for a baby like us. We are very very happy with this product.
I went for conceive plus for 2 reasons.
1) I could pick it up in my local boots so I did not have to wait for the post!
2) you use it like a normal lube- no applicators or anything that made it feel clinical.
My reasons for using was that we like to use something anyway and heard something about some of them not being good for spermies. I told hubs we were switching to protect his swimmers and we fell that month… we might have done anyway but it might have helped who knows?!

Who Should Be My Favourite Canuck?
So way, way back in the old timey days of the NHL pre-season, a young Jake Virtanen caught my eye, mostly because he was wearing jersey #27, which is *my* jersey number1 and then I Googled him and not only is he a hottie, but he was born in New Westminster! So clearly, I thought, he should be my favourite Canuck this year, given that my last year’s favourite Canuck, the then-#27 Shawn Matthias, signed as an unrestricted free agent with the Leafs in the off season, as the Canucks did not re-sign him. But then the regular season started and Jake switched jerseys numbers to 18 and I got busy with teaching and promptly forgot about my need to choose a new favourite Canuck for this year.
So now I’m trying to decide: should Jake, the New Westie, be my favourite Canuck this year, or Ben, #27? Or should I declare it a tie and say they are both my favourite Canucks this year?

David Booth, I thought? Who the hell is David Booth? Turns out that I’ve been a negligent Canucks fan and had missed the news that we’d traded away Samuelsson and Strum for Booth and Reinprecht from the Florida Panthers.
My friends know me too well!
The rest of the people in this deal are uggoes, so by my calculations we unloaded two not-hotties and picked up one hottie and one not-hottie. Thus, I approve of this trade!
My post for today consists of one thing: What he said.
Also, Maxim Lapierre, I will have your babies!
So, we all know that Boston Pizza has changed its name to Vancouver Pizza, the Boston Cream donut is now known as the Vancouver Cream donut and even the town of Boston Bar is going by the moniker Vancouver Bar.
Are You A Canucks Fan? Do You Have A Heart Rate Monitor?
Are you going to be watching games 3 and 4 of the Stanley Cup Final? Do you own a heart rate monitor and would you be willing to wear it during those games? If you answered “yes” to these questions, leave a message in the comments. Or email me. Or Facebook, tweet, DM, IM, text, call, or send me a message via telepathy5.
Also, if you know anyone else who might want to partake in this groundbreaking piece of research, let me know!
Things are crazy awesome in this city right now. Cars are covered in Vancouver Canucks flags. Every second person you pass on the street is wearing a Canucks jersey. On game days, the energy across the city is palpable! It’s like the Olympics all over again!
After every win, the number of playoff games we’ve won – and the number of wins left until we hoist the Cup – are s updated on the whiteboard 1. Also, that photo doesn’t really do it justice. The Canucks posters go across the entire wall of the lunchroom.
And the town of “Boston Bar” is now being called “Vancouver Bar”.
I watched Game 1 on Wednesday with some friends at Coppertank on Broadway. And made some new friends, as the place we so crowded we had people from the group at the next table squished in at our table. And when I went to the bathroom at second period intermission, I came back to find some random in my chair! There were more people in there then you would believe could fit, all of whom sang the national anthem at top volume along with Mark Donnelly and there wasn’t a moment in the three hours that followed that wasn’t filled with cheers, screams, gasps, hugs and many, many high fives! When the goal was finally scored in with 19 second left in the game, the place erupted, with every person jumping to their feet screaming (including my non-hockey watching friends who had come to hang out3! I jumped up so enthusiastically that my chair actually went flying backward, much to the delight of my new friend Annamay4!

Updated on May 30, 2011: Because there is now a YouTube video to embed. And I have new things to say.
So the other day, Lisa Johnson1 from the CBC tweeted, “Hockey fans who watch in pubs: is your Canucks support playing havoc with a healthy lifestyle?” Naturally, being a fan of both hockey and the CBC2, I replied, “Yes! I don’t think I’ve ever drank so much beer and ate so many French fries in my life!” and “Also, I’m running a half marathon in June and my training is certainly suffering as there’s no time to fit in a run on game nights!” Because, seriously, these playoffs have turned me into a total beer consuming machine! Beer didn’t used to be my drink of choice, but something about these last few rounds has had me consuming beer like there is no tomorrow! Anyway, this Twitter exchange led to a few emails and an invitation to join Lisa and a few other for lunch at the Lennox!
Note: To see the video, follow the link above and click on the play button on the image. Some people have mistaken it for just a photo rather than a video.
I think my favourite part of the whole story was Dennis’ description of what he eats during a typical playoff game.
As soon as the story ended, my phone exploded with calls, texts, emails, tweets and Facebook messages. Attention whoredom: achieved!
And finally, I don’t have anything of import to say about this final screen shot, but I thought I looked good here!
Also, that beer was delicious.
Update on May 30, 2011: In addition to my phone exploding with calls/texts/emails on Friday night, apparently a lot of my coworkers watched the CBC News 3 because all day today long I was met with comments like “Hey! I saw you on the news!” and “Hello TV star!” and “Why didn’t they say *you* are a nutritionist??!!” And when I went to get my afternoon coffee at the little coffeeshop across the road from my office, the coffeeshop owner said, “You were on the news! I had it on the TV [points at the big TV]4 and I said, “That’s my customer!!”” Steve Buscemi’s doppelgänger, however, said nothing.
And Now My Boys Are Off To THE STANLEY CUP FINALS!!
Why yes, I always dress like this at the office. Doesn’t everyone?
We beat the Nashville Predators in 6 games.
And last night we beat the San Jose Sharks in 5 games.
Clearly, we are going to take the Stanley Cup in 4 games.
It’s simple math, people. Simple. Math.
In addition to PowerGels, I’ve now added Sharkies – fruit chew thingys that are shaped like sharks – to my half marathon training regimen. Like PowerGels, Sharkies are meant to replace electrolytes and provide carbs for when you do crazy thinks like run for hours or play hockey for days. Unlike PowerGels, Sharkies are delicious, organic, and you get to hum the Jaws music when you eat them1.
Me, devouring a Sharkie, just like the Canucks devoured San Jose in last night’s game! | 2019-04-25T06:23:23 | https://www.nottobetrustedwithknives.com/tag/canucks/ |
The masses of Egypt in their millions have returned to the streets, determined to finish the revolution they began in January by ousting from power the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF). Every day since a police attack in Cairo’s Tahrir Square on Saturday, Nov. 19, thousands of youths have braved murderous police sallies into the square, each time beating them back. Emboldened with their success in repelling the cops—who are backed by the country’s ruling military—these same youth have mounted one offensive after another against the headquarters of the Interior Ministry, which oversees police affairs.
Mohamed Mahmoud Street, which connects Tahrir with the Ministry, has seen countless acts of heartrending self-sacrifice and inspiring courage by the shabab (youth). They consult with each other constantly, assessing when to advance and retreat, how many of the hundreds of thousands gathering in the nearby square to involve, or when to ask them to wait. Those in the front lines appeal to the lines behind them not to back up but instead to stand their ground to bolster the front’s position.
Truly, the working class is uniquely giving and selfless, deserving of the fruits of victory, of a decent life—qualities that it has learned and earned through hard experience, and by rejecting the lying lessons of its masters. The morals of those masters are seen in their encouragement of the heinous behavior of their army, whose soldiers have been seen dragging dead bodies and throwing them on piles as if they were bags of rubbish—after hitting them on the head with batons to make sure they’re dead.
The uprising began after a police attack on Nov. 19 on a sit-in of no more than 100 people in Tahrir Square of those wounded in the Jan. 25 uprising who have been demanding compensation for their injuries. Police began beating the wounded, including shooting rubber bullets purposely at their faces, putting out several eyes. Thousands responded to this repression by coming to the square to reclaim it. By the next day, there were tens of thousands of people in Tahrir Square again, and they kicked the police out.
The numbers in Tahrir—and soon in every major city and town in the country—grew day after day and into the night throughout the week following the initial cop attack, culminating in a million-strong “Friday of the Last Chance” on Nov. 25. This followed a week in which at least three dozen were killed and several hundred severely wounded. The size and steadfastness of the mobilizations make it clear that this phase of the revolution can only end either in the SCAF stepping down, or in a massacre on a scale too massive to even contemplate—an alternative that the masses in the streets are only too well aware of and which fuels their determination.
On Last Chance Friday, SCAF appointed a former Mubarak flunky as prime minister—and revolutionary groups immediately organized a sit-in to block him from reaching the PM’s office. Other youth groups began circulating forms for protesters to fill in to nominate their own choices for a transitional civilian council. The independent union federation called for a workers’ feeder march, following up on its call for members to join the protests as soon as they had broken out the preceding weekend.
Ahdaf Soueif, prize-winning novelist and aunt of imprisoned blogger Alaa abd el Fatah (detained for criticizing military tribunals), wrote movingly in the Guardian of scenes she saw in Tahrir. She described activists following the advice of organizers to write their names on their arms so loved ones could be informed if they were killed, advice issued after some bodies of the murdered couldn’t be identified.
Soueif reported that someone had written on a wall: “We are the Square: A Church, a Mosque and a Parliament.” The notion of Tahrir as a more genuine parliament (certainly more than the one to be convened by the military’s rigged elections) is a recognition that ultimately only organs of mass power born from the squares of Egypt can bring real democracy to the country.
The tragedies mount, but they only further fuel protesters’ steadfastness. One hero murdered by the security forces was young field doctor Rania Fouad, who entered a coma and died after an attack by tear gas canisters on her make-shift clinic in the Square. After her murder, said Soueif, “The people notched it up: the revolution had just become dearer—more impossible to abandon.” On one day motorbikes brought to such clinics 50 cases in 10 minutes. On another day, the media reported 500 brought in during a two-hour span.
The Muslim Brotherhood, whose party was expected to garner the biggest vote totals in elections scheduled for Nov. 28, held a mass march of its own on Nov. 18 out of dissatisfaction with the military’s threats to remain in power. But once the masses demanded an immediate end to military rule, many of them challenging the legitimacy of military-run elections, the Brotherhood reverted to form, and its middle-class leadership called on protesters to leave Tahrir.
In a typical but incredibly cynical move, on Last Chance Friday the Muslim Brotherhood distributed leaflets expressing its support for elections, and rather than join the monster rally in Tahrir, held its own small demonstration to protest the decision of Israeli authorities to demolish the gate to al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. But the masses of Egypt know that the Brotherhood, after decades of collaboration with dictatorial regimes (even when its own members faced repression), is no more capable of genuinely resisting Zionism than its military partners.
And in any case, increasing numbers of the younger, more working-class ranks of the Brotherhood are defying the leadership’s advice and joining the fighting alongside their sisters and brothers against SCAF.
The most well known bourgeois liberal candidate for president, Mohamed El-Baradei, was said to be planning to join negotiations, maybe even to be willing to accept being chosen by SCAF as prime minister. In the end he boycotted the talks, obviously afraid of being denounced by the masses.
In the weeks before the uprising, pressure was building on the military. Workers had engaged in a wave of mass strikes in late September. Meanwhile, activists in the Campaign to End Military Trials of Civilians began holding rallies against such trials, for freedom for political prisoners, and against military rule.
Egyptians abroad and their supporters began holding actions in solidarity with these demands, and are now holding frequent actions in solidarity with the uprising. In New York several have already occurred, including a picket line on Last Chance Friday at Point Lookout Capital Partners in Manhattan (Point Lookout is the majority stock owner of Combined Systems Inc., maker of the tear gas being used to murderous effect in Egypt). The picket demanded an end to tear gas sales, an end to all U.S. military aid, an end to military tribunals and the freeing of political prisoners, and an end to military rule.
Nearly 12,000 Egyptian civilians have been tried by kangaroo military courts since the fall of Mubarak, the overwhelming majority convicted. Eighteen civilians have been executed after such trials, and minors sentenced to adult prisons in which torture is common. Women demonstrators have been subjected to sexual assault in the form of “virginity tests” by the army, and demonstrators of both genders subjected to electric shocks and other forms of cruel, inhumane, and degrading treatment. The regime sponsoring such crimes has been rewarded by the U.S. government with promises of billions in loans, and continued military aid to the tune of $1.3 billion a year.
The uprising marks the end of months in which revolutionaries’ propaganda about the intransigence of the military regime often fell on deaf ears. This is inevitable in a revolution, which has phases in which the masses give new powers a chance—but eventually realize that only institutions created by their own power can form the basis of a legitimate revolutionary government, one which they control and which meets their needs in practice and not just in words.
That consciousness reached the tipping point this fall as Egypt’s suffering masses saw that the new regime was doing nothing to mitigate the impact of the global economic crisis that had played a key role in sparking the January revolt (as it had in Tunisia and throughout the region). What’s more, as the military made more and more statements indicating elections would have no bearing on their continued control of the main levers of power, the notion that “the army and the people are one hand” began to lose its power.
Meanwhile, Obama still wants to be with Tantawi. Even the Washington Post had to chide Obama for being so transparently pro-SCAF. In an editorial titled, “As Egyptians protest anew, the Obama administration again enables the generals,” the Post said that “faced with the escalating violence in Cairo, the administration is repeating the mistake it made in January, when it hesitated to push for the removal of President Hosni Mubarak.
On Last Chance Friday, the U.S. gave de facto backing to the SCAF, calling for elections to proceed on the following Monday—elections rigged by the military, in the middle of a mass uprising attacked with murderous force!
Meanwhile, the State Department, which has been channeling money to “pro-democracy” fronts to tempt and coopt the more naïve or corruptible middle-class elements in the opposition, opened a new front in the U.S. An NGO leader working with State concocted an effort to get Occupy Wall Street to send a delegation, costing tens of thousands of dollars, to “monitor” Egyptian elections. Egyptians here and abroad and their supporters argued that the time and money should be devoted instead to organizing solidarity and material aid for the struggle against military rule.
Behind this seemingly paradoxical joke lies the clear long-range vision of those committed to completing revolutions. The fighters in Tahrir know the ruling class will try to foist on them one fraud after another in the hopes that they’ll be fooled or just get tired. But just as the May 1968 barricade fighters in Paris scrawled on the walls, “Be realistic: Demand the impossible,” so the shabab of Tahrir know that today it is possible, indeed essential, to hold out for a solution in the interests of the country’s masses, and there is no need to settle for what is “practical,” i.e. what the rulers are willing to grant.
Reports are beginning to arrive of junior officers defecting to the revolution. This is crucial, as one requirement for the success of the uprising will be the splitting of rank-and-file soldiers and junior officers away from their superiors’ dictates. The other key components will be the continued mobilization of millions, and growing workers’ strikes, hopefully coalescing in a general strike, which can be the coup de grace for Tantawi, as it was for Mubarak. And to ensure lasting gains, it is essential to construct a mass revolutionary socialist party, rooted in the working class, to lead the fight against capitalist rule.
One final key factor will be global solidarity. In the U.S., the labor and Occupy movements have repeatedly stressed the debt they owe to the Egyptian uprising. It is now time for those movements, as well as the antiwar movement, to pay that debt and organize massive solidarity and support for the Egyptian masses.

I'm always interested in new products for beaders, but I especially love it when a new offering is unlike anything else already available. So I'm really happy to spread the word about a new tool called Thread Cutterz, that was recently featured on the TV show "Shark Tank."
It's a compact and easy-to-use thread cutter that would be great for holiday traveling or any time of the year. It has an adjustable Velcro strap so it can be worn on your finger, or wrapped around a purse strap or beading bag. No more dropping your scissors on the floor of the car when you’re beading! Even though it won’t let you trim the thread close to your beadwork, it does work great for cutting your thread off the spool.
It was originally designed for fishermen (it would make a great little stocking stuffer for the angler on your list) so it easily cuts Fireline along with other types of thread. Because it has a recessed blade, the cutter is safe to take on airplanes and to use around children. So pack up your beading bag, grab a Thread Cutterz, and hit the road!

As much as we might like to think otherwise, politics and religion frequently overlap, as they do again this political season. The recent uproar caused by Pastor Robert Jeffress of the First Baptist Church of Dallas, Texas wherein he called Mitt Romney's Mormon faith a "cult" is just the latest example of that overlap.
Jesus Christ said that we would be known by our actions rather than anything else. The act of judging another's faith within political contests or as part of political strategy runs counter to the principles set forth in Article 6 of the United States Constitution, which state that "no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States." It serves us to remember that this nation was established by individuals seeking religious freedom. Though the Founding Fathers set forth restraints on government in the U.S. Constitution, that document certainly cannot proscribe what individuals might do, think or say. From a spiritual standpoint, the ultimate arbiter in that context, at least for Christians, should be the Savior Himself as he admonished us to "Judge not, that ye be not judged" (Matthew 7:1).
This is a good time to let it be known that I am not a supporter of Governor Mitt Romney for the presidency of the United States of America. Yes, I am a member of the same faith as he. I, too, am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I am a Black Mormon.
Some would regard the descriptor "Black Mormon" as an oxymoron. In fact, there have been Black Mormons since the earliest days of this faith. We, Latter-day Saints, consider our particular branch of Christianity to be a restoration of the past structure as ordained by Jesus Himself rather than as a part of the Protestant reformation. Under the leadership of our first modern-day prophet, Joseph Smith Jr., the Church was established on April 6, 1830. Only two short years later, 1832, we had Black members (plural) of record.
As in most Christian denominations there have been certain racial barriers in our faith which required correction. Nonetheless, as Christians rooted in a hope of Christ and a faith in Christ, we have become better at living our religion.
The Savior provided this simple charge: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this [is] the first commandment. And the second [is] like, [namely] this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these" (Mark 12:30-31).
Yet, even with this clear admonition from the Savior of the world, we demean, belittle and judge our brothers when their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, political affiliation, or religious beliefs differ from our own. Why then do we call Him Lord, Lord and do not the things which He says? For truly "This people draweth nigh unto [Him] with their mouth, and honoureth [Him] with [their] lips; but their heart[s] [are] far from [Him]" (Matthew 15:8).
The rancor, the vitriolic rhetoric of current discussions are all anathema to the love and respect in which we've been instructed. Certainly political and religious views are often strongly held, but we should be able to dialog with one another about the merits of issues without abusing truth, our faith, or forgetting the sweet message of The Master. We are indeed brothers and sisters, children of the selfsame God -- commanded to love one another. | 2019-04-23T10:35:50 | https://www.huffpost.com/entry/mitt-romney-mormon_b_1011759 |
There are several ways to make a beautiful diy bracelet! A simple and popular technique is based on wrapping 4 different colored strings, one by one, around the others. Here is how: Tie them together making a knot! Catch the first string, loop it over, then under the second string. Repeat the knot and proceed to the other strings! When arrived to the end, start over using the second string! Also double knots on each string, until the end! Repeat with the remaining strings and over again, until the bracelet becomes as long as you desire! When finished, gather the strings and secure them with a knot! Have fun and make beautiful things! | 2019-04-26T13:02:30 | http://diy-miracles.blogspot.com/2013/10/diy-wrap-bracelet.html |
So what's really down there? Down as in way down below the ocean, as Donovon sang in 1968. According to the latest Census of Marine Life, we're starting to get a clear idea.
On Monday, scientists released a preliminary inventory of ocean species distribution and diversity in 25 biologically representative regions from the Antarctic to the Arctic. Their final report will get released early next month.
Before the decade-long census gets revealed, the researchers dropped a few morsels for us to chew on. For instance, the waters off the coasts off Australia, Japan, China, the Mediterranean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico are the world's most diverse in terms of known species.
When the census gets released in London, it's expected to report there are more than 230,000 marine species in the world's oceans. Even more intriguing, the preliminary inventory released on Monday noted that "for every marine species of all kinds known to science, census scientists estimate that at least four have yet to be discovered." That makes for a lot of fish. And probably a lot of fish in shapes, sizes and colors that will blow our minds.
"At the end of the Census of Marine Life, most ocean organisms still remain nameless and their numbers unknown," says biologist Nancy Knowlton of the Smithsonian Institution. "This is not an admission of failure. The ocean is simply so vast that, after 10 years of hard work, we still have only snapshots, though sometimes detailed, of what the sea contains. But it is an important and impressive start."
The census is issuing early looks at some of these marine species, and you can check out a sample of what they discovered in the accompanying image gallery. | 2019-04-25T13:13:12 | https://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-weirdest-sea-creatures-youve-ever-seen/ |
Harris, who is an honors student at East LA College, plays defense as a free safety.
Toni Harris became the first female football player at a skilled position to sign a letter of intent for a football scholarship on Tuesday.
Harris had already broken barriers as the first female football player in East Los Angeles College's history and also the first female football player to appear in a Super Bowl advertisement earlier in February.
On Tuesday, the East LA College Siberian Husky held a news conference to mark the historic moment and sign the letter of intent to play football at Central Methodist University in Missouri. The school has offered Harris a full scholarship to play college football.
The Detroit native has a history of overcoming long odds, having grown up in foster care and survived cancer at age 18. She's the first person in her family to graduate high school and go to college, intending to study criminal justice.
"Toni Harris has shown great resolve in her journey and quest to be a college football player," Bobby Godinez, who coached Harris at East LA College, said in a statement released by the school. "She has shown herself to be a great teammate here at East Los Angeles College and a great member of this community. We all wish her the best in her journey beyond ELAC."
Harris, who has stated her goal of becoming the first female in the National Football League, will take the next giant step towards that ultimate goal.
"If it doesn't happen, I can just pave the way for another little girl to come out and play -- or even start a women's NFL," Harris said. | 2019-04-21T16:08:32 | https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/national-international/First-Female-College-Football-Position-Player-506406921.html |

Recent studies in breast cancer tissue have demonstrated that C-terminal binding protein (CtBP) over-expression induces stem cell-like features and genome instability; whereas CtBP depletion or caloric restriction reverses gene expression and increases DNA repair. C-terminal binding proteins (CtBP) are dimeric nuclear factors that function as transcriptional regulators in response to changes in the cellular level of NADH. Based on the binding affinity of CtBP for NADH, CtBP can function as a sensor of cellular metabolism and therefore has the potential to act as a metabolic marker in known obesity-related cancers. Thus, we decided to study CtBP expression and localization in colorectal cancer (CRC), a known obesity-related cancer. To study the potential role of CtBP as a metabolic marker in obesity-related cancer, we first subjected a panel of colorectal (HT-29, HCT-15, and SW480), lung (NCI-H1299) and breast (MCF-7) cancer cell lines to a number of metabolic perturbations including hypoxia and hyperglycemia and then observed the expression of known CtBP target genes. The results from these experiments suggested that CtBP does not function as a transcriptional regulator in the colorectal cancer cell lines studied, even while under conditions which are known to elevate cellular NADH levels. We then determined that simultaneous knockdown of CtBP 1 and 2 had no effect of the mRNA expression of known CtBP targets, suggesting again that it was not functioning as a transcription repressor in the colorectal cells. Furthermore we determined the subcellular localization of CtBP1 and CtBP2 in all the cell types interrogated. From these localization experiments we determined that CtBP 1 and CtBP2 were found in primarily in the cytoplasm of the CRC cell lines studied, in contrast to the breast and lung cancer cell lines, where they were found in the nucleus. Based on these findings, we conclude that CtBP does not act as a transcriptional regulator in the colorectal cancer cell lines tested. To test the therapeutic implications of this finding, we also treated the panel of cancer cell lines with purported inhibitors of CtBP and performed MTT assays at 24, 48, and 72 hours to determine the amount of cell death. The results of these experiments showed no significant differences in response to the inhibitors among the different cell types, thus suggesting that the inhibitors used potentially act through a mechanism other than one in which CtBP is responsible.

Do you need to drop hints at your kids (or their Daddy)? Are you quietly bored of flowers? Maybe you’re on a diet and you know you are going to be given a huge box of uber-calorific chocs that you would feel you have to eat? Maybe you suspect you’re getting a bottle of your favourite scent, but you’ve still got 3 bottles of the stuff spare?
JOHNSON’S are offering mums the chance to download a special note that they can share with their family ahead of the big day. The JOHNSON’S® Baby brand knows that mums cherish special moments with their children, and the ‘Memorable Mother’s Day Wish’ will help them to create a new memory they will remember for years to come.
A spokesperson for the JOHNSON’S® Baby brand said: “Mum’s are known for their selfless nature, so it’s no surprise that they aren’t looking for pricey presents to make them happy on Mother’s Day.
The new survey, which has been commissioned by the brand to help make ‘Memorable Mother’s Day Wishes’ come true, has produced a list of the top 10 things that will make mums happy this Mother’s Day.
Other things I would like include a day out, without a tantrum. A walk in a sunny park. Hugs on the sofa, with the kids, the woofer, dvds and popcorn.
Hi Julie, thanks so much for your blog comment. I’m glad you found the post interesting.
Did you check out the links I left at the bottom of the page? I think it was the third one which was a company that allowed you to have your existing pets trained properly. Or was there a particular reason that your dog is unable to be trained? Such a shame if so! Though I’m glad to hear your dog is a great help to you already, I often read about dogs being invaluable companions to kids with autism in particular but I don’t think a lot of people realise how much difference an animal can make!
Sadly its for physical disability only, so I don’t qualify. My Freya understands me, and i love her back. But she is “bad” sometimes as she had a rough start in life. She growls at bigger dogs (as she’s terrified) and sadly tries to eat/kill small pets or wildlife. When she was stray she had to learn to kill for food, sadly this hunting won’t be trained out of her, so Dog A.i.d wouldn’t accept me or her as clients. Was worth a read though!
Aww, what a neat idea!

Student athletes face the realities of sports-related injuries and concussions at the school.
She was running to catch a pop-fly that would have been the last out of the game when everything suddenly went black. Emily Hart, 10 recalls her traumatic experience of getting a concussion one day when playing first base at a softball tournament. She woke up sprawled on the ground with people hovering over her and asking different questions: “What day is it?” “What is your name?” She had blacked out, lost consciousness, and could not remember the events of the last few minutes. The catcher had collided with her and Hart’s braces shredded the catcher’s cheek. An ambulance came, but she was diagnosed with only a minor concussion and wasn’t brought to the hospital. After she returned home, Hart began to throw up and the room had started to spin. She went to the emergency room and learned that she had a concussion and had to stop all intense physical activity for a week. Injuries sustained over the season push athletes to question whether being committed to sports is truly worth the risk, especially when high investments are made to prevent life-changing injuries.
Fall and winter sports teams during this school year have accounted for a total of 28 concussions: 15 for football, three for cheerleading, two for volleyball, four for girls soccer, two for boys basketball, and two for wrestling. Concussions are common occurrences for student athletes who play sports involving contact with other players. Teams in the past have invested significant amounts of money in reducing these high numbers at any means. Given the consistently substantial amount of concussions and injuries within the football team, the Casa Grande Football Foundation purchased VICIS ZERO1 helmets for each player for $1,000 per helmet. However, the helmets didn’t make the change that Denis Brunk, the head coach of the varsity football team, had expected when he said he wanted the safest equipment for every football player. Heather Campbell, the teacher for the Sports Medicine program, expressed her feedback on the effects of these helmets about one year later.
Sports consume many students’ free time and with the possibility of getting injured the question of why students play often arises. On top of the weight from school, and social life, sports can contribute to unwanted and unnecessary stress and pressure. Feeling obligated to play or win, some students prioritize sports over everything else, including school. Working as hard as they can and pushing themselves past their limits students get injured, making their daily routine more cumbersome. Nevertheless, the risk of injury doesn’t prevent students from playing sports. Ethan Falkenberg, a sophomore wrestler, comments on his sprained ankle.
“I got my injury during a match. My leg got tangled up with my opponents and fell on it. But, I think it’s worth it to play sports because it’s a lot more fun than just sitting around at home even if you have the chance of getting injured. Plus you meet some great friends doing it. We take precautions and coaches are good about taping and things like that to try to prevent further injury, ” said Falkenberg.
Regardless of the risk of spraining your ankle, or dislocating your knee, or even getting a concussion, students on campus are wholeheartedly committed to their sport and do not go unnoticed when they take on these challenges courageously. While others may manipulate the probabilities of receiving an injury as a rebuttal to discourage students from finding their true passion, ultimately the decision to take the risk is up to the student. | 2019-04-18T21:06:53 | https://gauchogazette.com/2903/news/is-it-worth-it/ |

...and all that glitters is not gold.
Glad for the new post!
Some aren't freelancers by choice today, either.
It is amazing to me how accurate they can be if done right.
You might send Perry a private message to see if he can read it on the off chance he hasn't seen this post.

Is it fair to conclude that terrorism is more of a police problem than a national security problem? It's a national security problem in the sense of what weapons are they using, and so on, but in fact, the best way to get at this problem is through good police work and good intelligence and cooperation between police forces throughout the world.
Absolutely. The big mistake has been to respond to 9/11 by traditional warfare, by sending troops to occupy territory. But these guys don't care about territory. If Afghanistan is controlled by a coalition army, well, they leave Afghanistan and they go to Pakistan. What do we do now?
This is why the decision to go to Iraq, for me, doesn't make sense in the perspective of a war against terrorism. First, as we know now, there were no links between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda. Secondly, there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. But more important, once we are in Iraq we're stuck. We are stuck, you know. Of course, it's a good thing to get rid of a dictator like Saddam Hussein. It's a good thing to wish that Arab countries should become democracies, I am not at all opposed to that, but it's a waste of time, and of means, if we want to fight global terrorism.
Not only are these wars fueling terrorism but they have a very negative side effect, convincing many people that, in fact, the West is weak, the West is unable to wage more than a local war, that a Western army, and specifically the American army, is even not able to overcome some tens of thousands of local guerillas. The eventual withdrawal from Iraq will be seen as a defeat, like Somalia in 1992. So, you don't respond to terrorism by war. You respond by two things, as you said: first, police intelligence, cooperation, and second, political action to isolate the terrorists from the mainstream population.
There's much discussion in the United States about non-military action. We hear from Thomas Friedman, "Where are the moderate voices in Islam?" What is the policy implication of what you're saying? What makes for a sensible strategy? I'm not talking about dealing with the terrorists but of the West relating to Islam, and individuals of faiths in all the faiths relating to each other.
First, there are moderate voices in Islam, people who either expressly condemn terrorism or who explicitly try to devise a more liberal and open Muslim theology. The problem is that these guys are not abstract people. They have a citizenship. They are not necessarily global people. They may live in Iraq, in Syria, in Lebanon, in Palestine, Israel, in Saudi Arabia, and so on. What they see is that all their local concerns are perceived by the West through the lens of the world against terrorism.
For instance, there are conflicts in theMiddle East, of course, and there will be conflicts in the Middle East, but the roots of these conflicts have nothing to do with terrorism or with Islam. Most of these conflicts are nationalist. The Palestinians are fighting for a Palestinian state, they are not fighting for an Islamic state, and if Hamas won the elections it's not because Hamas is Islamic, it's because the Palestinians were convinced that Hamas would be better than Fatah, not to destroy Israel but to manage the project of the bureaucracy and the society.
We don't take into consideration this nationalism. We tend to tell to all the Arabs, "Give up your nationalism first, adopt our Western point of view first, and then we'll talk to you." And what they say is, "Address first our political problems and then we may speak about interfaith dialogue, moderation, and things like that." So, there's a huge misunderstanding.
Most Arab intellectuals, either Islamist, secularist, or even Christian, by the way, are nationalists, and nationalism is a bad term here in the States. Patriotism is a good term, but only the Americans are supposed to be patriotic and the foreigners are seen as bad nationalists. No, these guys are also patriotic. They want to do something for the country, and they resent -- for good or bad reasons, it's another debate -- the present policy of the West, of the international community. We should disconnect the issue of Islam as such and the real issues of the Middle East, which are nationalist, ethnic, or sectarian problems and divisions.
Olivier, I want to thank you very much for coming on our program again. I want to recommend very highly your new book, Globalized Islam, which offers us an insightful picture of that faith. Thank you very much for being with us. | 2019-04-21T02:29:39 | http://globetrotter.berkeley.edu/people7/Roy/roy07-con6.html |
About a week ago, I was reading my friend Kimmy’s blog when I learned that the 2 girlies that she was co-hosting Healthy Vegan Fridays with had stepped down and that she didn’t have a replacement for them. I immediately sent her my resume, application, and references in hopes of being chosen for the role. Due to my well-matched qualifications (and the fact that I had zero competition), I was selected to co-host Healthy Vegan Fridays with her! I’ve been super excited all week getting ready for my debut blog posting by designing a new logo, making a badge for other bloggers to share on their sites, and almost murdering my boyfriend while he tried to teach me how to add a new page to my website. In addition to the prospect of being forced to eat healthier, I’m even more excited about having more excuses to hang out with Kimmy!
These remind me of when I first went vegan and there was hardly anything on the internet, so the only egg replacer I knew about was banana. I think everyone knows where this story is going, but yeah, it’s a good thing I like the taste of banana.
I’m not sure that my mouth would be fooled by my taking my breakfast shake and converting into a dessert, but for a healthy dessert option, this is extremely creative. It would be a great cheater dessert if you’re doing a cleanse.
Aren’t these adorbs??? I am a believer in fate, kismet, whatever you want to call it, and I REALLY think it was fate that brought these Munchkins into my very first Healthy Vegan Friday blog post! Why you ask? (I’m sure nobody asked, but you’re going to find out anyway because I cannot hold in my excitement right now.) I was at the Albany flea market last weekend, and because I have that disorder/gift/illness where every time there’s something purple within a 5 mile radius, my purplicious radar goes off, I noticed something out of the corner of my eye, and was magnetically drawn towards it (I had no control over the situation really). It ended up being a cakepop maker, which normally wouldn’t have interested me (except for the exterior color of course), due to a very long and drawn out bad experience making cake pops the first, last, and only time I ever made them. However, upon seeing Budapest Hotel, I, of course, wanted to make the treats from the movie, and was trying to figure out how to make the pastry sphere at the top of them. So, I paid $2 for the cakepop maker, brought it home, and scrubbed it so hard, you would think I had dug it out of a dumpster with a skull & crossbones and hazardous waste symbols on the side. I assumed that after making these famous treats, I would then pass along my cakepop maker to some lucky craiglist reader, but now I have yet another exciting adventure for my cakepop maker to experience before it gets adopted by a new family.
My favorite recipe from the Healthy Vegan Fridays entries last week was the one pot pasta by Yep, it’s vegan. She is seriously brilliant! I have a dishwasher, but that doesn’t mean I want to run it multiple times/day. The clear solution is to use fewer dishes! I cannot wait to try this once I’m all moved into my new dollhouse and have time to cook again.
This week, I’m going to be submitting an old recipe I created a year ago when I used to blog at ieatcupcakes.com. It’s called Meatloaf Cupcakes. Don’t be afraid of the name. They taste better than they sound.
Now, I believe that this snippet of code I’m about to insert here is being referred to as a linky. It sounds kind of like the name of a pacman ghost or a game on that game show The Price is Right. Nonetheless, I hope that some of you cute vegans out there on the internet have some healthy recipes to share this week. Don’t forget to link back here in your post, and if you post pictures of your healthy vegan friday on twitter or instagram, use the #veganfridays hashtag. | 2019-04-20T21:12:34 | https://vegandollhouse.com/blog/healthy-vegan-friday-1/ |
Urashima Taro is one of the fairy tale in Japan.
The story of Urashima Tarois that he helped a turtle that was bullied by the other children. In order to give thanks onto the Urashima Taro, the turtle invited him to the Dragon Palace which is under the sea. Otohime princess treated him with a big party. Later after the party, Otohime princess gave him a casket, and told him, “Don’t ever open this casket.” However, when Urashima Taro was back to the land, he opened it. There was a smoke came out form the casket and Urashima Taro became an old men.
As a result, it was the happy days that spent in the Dragon Palace were the years that spent in the reality.
The place associated with Urashima Taro is in Kagawa Prefecture. | 2019-04-23T08:12:59 | http://japanold.com/2016/12/14/1020/ |
