There are both black beans and white beans in this soup, but the starring role goes to the white beans — baby white limas. I went in search of these beans while still in SC after an outstanding lunch at Bertha’s Kitchen* in North Charleston. I gushed about the meal on Facebook and a former Charleston resident commented, “Go to Doscher’s Market.” (That would be Donna Hardy of Sea Island Indigo. She ran the workshop I attended in 2014).


Doscher’s Market is an IGA in West Ashley that’s been run by a German family for generations. Part of the secret to their success has been to cater to their customers, who are largely African American. One article I read noted, “there are smoked pig parts representing everything but the squeal”.**


While I looked for the dried beans, K wandered along the seemingly endless meat


1255456  it up, randomly flipped the book open to page 58 and started reading. I guess I was bored that day... :-)


What I read on these pages awed me... it is a section called God's Pleasure In Justice... and all three of the above-mentioned Scripture passages were referred to in just three short pages! Didn't I already say... when God wants to make a point, He makes it?!?


For good reason, many believers name Jeremiah 9:23-24 as their favorite verse. "This is what the Lord says," the prophet declares: "'Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,' declares the Lord." The word translated kindness is the Hebrew term hesed, which refers to the Lord's covenant love and is sometimes rendered loving-kindness. The authors of the Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament say that hesed "is a kind of love, including mercy... when the object is in a pitiful state."


God advises us not to glory in our mental capabilities, for they are temporary. He counsels us not to hang our hat on our strength, for it's as nothing compared to him. He warns us not to exult in our wealth, because it can soon vanish. If we boast in anything, it ought to be that we understand who he really is. And who is he? He is a God who delights in justice and righteousness. That is where we find God's pleasure.


So doesn't it make sense that he would require of us the very things that delight his heart? And what does God require of us? Micah makes it explicit: "To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God" (Micah 6:8).


God is saying to us, "Do you really know and understand me? Then you know that I delight in justice - and that I require you to reflect my character and to delight in justice by doing justice yourself. Get to know those in my family who need your help! The more you get to know them, the more you can become part of the solution. The more you understand their needs - needs that do not escape my attention - the more you will see how you can do justice in their lives."


Just before Jesus ascended into heaven, he took Peter aside to officially restore the chastened apostle to the gospel ministry. As Peter had denied the Lord three times before the Crucifixion, so after the Resurrection the Lord three times asked Peter, "Do you love me?" Each time, the burly fisherman replied in the affirmative. And how did Jesus respond? "Feed my lambs," he told Peter. "Take care of my sheep... Feed my sheep" (John 21:15-17).


The fact is, our Lord could hardly conceive of a true believer who would consciously turn his back on a brother in need. So closely did he associate personal righteousness with public justice that he insisted the absence of one indicated the nonexistence of the other. On the day he returns to earth, he said, he will "separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats" (Matthew 25:32). To the sheep he will say, "Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me" (Matt.25:34-36).


The sheep - "the righteous" - will protest, "Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?" Then the Lord will reply, "I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me" (Matthew 25:37-40).


As if that wasn't enough to make His point already, the "cherry on top" came this past Sunday via the teaching time at church where the guest speaker spoke on none other than the verses from Isaiah 43:16-21!


You see, the spark that started our family's intentional journey towards becoming a Micah 6:8 family was Beth Moore's message at Living Proof Live {Toronto} way back in March 2010. She spoke on the very same verses, the ones from Isaiah 43:16-21... on God being up to something new!


Since that weekend, we started to feel restless where we were ministering and serving God at. God was indeed up to something new... He was moving us in a new direction. In hindsight, I can now see that that was the beginning of a new thing for our family --- and that is to become a Micah 6:8 family!


God is indeed always good... even during times when we do not understand His master plan, when we can not see the big picture.

This past Saturday evening, our family finished Week 2 of Hope Lives, a Bible Study resource that we are going through together {a Summer Splash Bible Study resource recommended by our church} in preparation for our Summer Missions Immersion trip to the Philippines.


Week 2 is entitled God Is Not Silent. We learned that God has provided a map for our journey in loving others. We explored what the Bible has to say about serving the poor, the widows, and the orphans, and how God desires for us to show his love to those in need.


One of the action items that concluded this week's study challenged us to be Christ for someone in need this week. Since the following day is Sunday... our thoughts drifted to the woman we often see standing at the off-ramp of the highway begging for money as we drive onto the on-ramp as we exit the shopping mall complex after church. Sad to say... we have never before stopped to help her.


We decided that this time, it was going to be different. We deduced that we only see her if we stay to have lunch at the mall after church {and never see her there if we leave right after service}. So, we made an intentional decision to stay for lunch. After lunch, we bought an extra lunch and drink to go and headed for our car in the parking lot.


We didn't know where we could stop safely as the spot she usually stands at is an off-ramp from a major highway, adjacent to the on-ramp we take to head home. We drove towards that spot... trusting that God will arrange a way if we are indeed meant to bless this woman with a lunch!


And God did just that! Just before we were to enter the on-ramp... we saw her! She wasn't standing at her usual spot... instead, she was walking straight towards our vehicle! I rolled down my window excitedly as hubby slowly coasted to a stop... we were even able to stop as there were no other vehicles behind us... another peculiarly amazing God-detail!


I handed her the lunch and drink... explaining that we see her often there on Sunday mornings and wanted to bless her with something to eat and drink. She thanked me profusely... saying, "God bless you! God loves you!" All I could say in return at the moment was... "He loves you too!"


As we drove onto the on-ramp, I looked in the passenger side mirror... and saw her delve into the lunch we brought right there on the sidewalk!


We had another stop on this Sunday {afternoon, by now} before heading home. We needed to get a camera bag to bring with us on our trip to the Philippines. So we headed to a bag store downtown, which we found on the Internet... amazed that God had given us the opportunity to be a blessing to someone in need and thinking that we were done helping the needy for the day.


Little did we know, God wasn't done yet. After parking our vehicle, hubby and I were standing in front of the parking meter waiting for it to finish authorizing our credit card... when a young man approached us. He said, "Excuse me, but I really just need something to eat!" At this very moment, I was wishing I had the camera out so that I could take a photo of my kids faces... it's the look of "I can't believe it! God means serious business

it's hard for me to see the bill passiin passing this week. >> i don't have feedback from constituencies who have not had enough time to review the nat bill. we should not be voting on this next week. >> with growing opposition from senate republicans to the party's health care bill and even the speed of it, gop leaders are facing a daunting challenge to get this passed with a vote this week. many lawmakers also waiting for


the congressional budget office assessment of the bill which could come as early as today. i want to discuss this with republican congressman lee zeldin of new york, sir. thank you for being with us. i first want to ask you about this issue of medicaid and whether the senate bill which i understand you do support. you, of course, supported the house bill. i want to listen to something that kellyanne conway, a top advisor to president trump said about medicaid cuts in this bill. >> these are not cuts to medicaid, george. this slows the rate for the future and allows governors more flexibility with medicaid dollars because they're closest to the people in need. if you're currently in medicaid, if you became a medicaid recipient through the obamacare expansion, you're grandfathered in. we're talking about the future. >> congressman, in the house bill there was a grandfather clause. it's not in the senate bill. a lot of analyses showing it's


not happening the way kellyanne is talking about. do you acknowledge it's a reality of both of these bills that there are medicaid cuts? >> well, kellyanne is correct that the impact on medicaid is not a cut. it's swloeing down the rate of growth to bring costs under control. as you point out in the house bill, for anyone who is currently enrolled in medicaid or en rolls in medicaid by 2020, they will be the -- the federal government continues to pay that 90% enhanced federal match into perpetuity as long as that person continues to stay in medicaid. >> with a lot of people don't -- you know that, congressman. because of churn, a lot of people would not have continuous coverage. they'd get bumped out. you have several states that have triggers where if the match goes down, they don't have to provide that and people lose their medicaid.


>> it actually wouldn't make sense to have everyone covered under the same fmap, the same formula. the normal match which was 50%. if you have a state where the normal fmap is 50% for those on the lower end of medicaid by, the best way for the state to save money for the state is to actually reduce medicaid costs on the more vulnerable and not the less vulnerable. it would make sense for everyone to be on that same funding formula. it doesn't go to zero. >> it seems like by your definition there, the people on the higher end of medicaid lose their coverage. >> no, not at all. >> they are covered with the normal fmap of 50% as opposed to 90. they're not going -- the federal government doesn't go from 90 to zero as far as the expansion population. they go from 90 to 50 which is the normal fmap under medicaid. medicaid was created to take care of those who are most


inneed all three out our country. what we're seeing right now in states, when en they try to save money, look at maine, wisconsin as well. when maine tried to save money in medicaid, they saw the cuts -- they would save more money if they targeted the lower end of the medicaid population because that's where they have to come up with 50% of the cost as opposed to the higher end that's at 90. we're getting into the weeds. >> it's important, it is. you're talking about over time the medicaid is reduced. a lot of people analyzing this who know what they're talking about are saying that is going to be medicaid cuts for many people. i want to look at the house bill. the house bill and what it does -- i know you support both bills. obviously there are some important changes, but you're looking at -- it says 23 million people losing their coverage over ten years. the deficit is reduced by about $120 billion, but premiums are


going up by 20% here next year, 5% in 2019, decrease after 2020. how do you tell voters when you're looking at millions of people losing coverage that republicans have made this plan better? >> a couple of things. first off, that cbo is only scoring this one bail because in budget reconciliation, there are things you can't do that requires 60 votes in the entire senate. allowing policies to be sold across state lines, reducing cost of prescription drugs, malpractice reform, giving additional medicaid flexibilities to governors, that's all part of the plan the cbo doesn't score. going into the weeds as farr as what cbo is scoring with this one bill, over the course of the next few years, the people who are -- they say are losing


health insurance say it's primarily because they're limiting the individual mandate, no longer forcing someone to buy a policy that they don't want. that's what the cbo, that's the prime reason over the course of the next few years. >> you're saying everyone who wants to have health insurance is going to be able to have access to it the way they have under obamacare? >> over the course of ten years -- over the course of the first few years, the primary reason, not the entire reason, because you can't guarantee for over 300 million people that every single person is going to be covered to the standard that they want, because what happens is in states where you have -- one-third of the counties in our country including several entire states have one option left under their exchange. a state like iowa, in 2018, they have no insureer left in their exchange at all. in those states they're trying to repair their individual market. that's going to include some changes where the state is going


to be requesting flexibility from the federal government with regards to essential health benefits. we'll see what the final bill looks like regarding community rating. >> to get out of the weeds a little bit. you just said everyone will not necessarily be covered to the standard that they want. i mean that is something that resonates with a lot of people. when you look at the numbers on this plan, it's something that disproportionately affects blue collar areas, the elderly, some reliable republican voters. are you concerned those voters are going to say this doesn't benefit me, this isn't the coverage at the level i wanted or i don't have coverage and they're going to send a message to you and other republicans? >> actually, the people who are most impacted are in states where they have one or even zero options that are left or going to be left under the individual market. so that's not choice, that's monopoly when you only have one


option left. when you have no options, you can have this gold standard of health insurance care that you aspire to, but when you literally have no insurer left, like iowa won't have any left, one-third of all counties only have one left right now. for those republican voters, democratic voters, anyone in between, as your options become even fewer and you get even more desperate, everyone is starting to understand -- obamacare when it was first passed, it was a philosophical debate of how it would impact someone in the future. now people are seeing how it's impacting them right now. so when you have coverage but your deductible is so high you can't afford it, it doesn't feel like you have health insurance coverage at all. if you sant afford your policy, don't have access to it, what you need is for those states to have more flexibility so they can repair the individual market and have options again. >> well, this is an ongoing


debate, congressman zeldin that we're going to keep having as we await these all important numbers. congressman lee zeldin, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> chris? >> one of the world's best young golfers holes an amazing shot for a play-off victory. keilar is a golfer. could she make this shot? and why she argues yes. ooh, the bump. i like it. >> i couldn't do that. i'll tell you that. >> a terrifying flight you have to see to believe. wait until you hear what the pilot asked passengers to do twice. we have that next. it's not just a car, (work sfx) it's your daily retreat. the es and es hybrid. lease the 2017 es 350 for $329 a month for 36 months. experience amazing at your lexus dealer.

Through one-on-one meetings and different recruitment events, the colony has reached an impressive 29 members and still growing. We were able to catch up with the team in charge of leading the expansion, Brett Turner (Recruitment Specialist) and Walker Rose (Educational Leadership Consultant) to gain insight into their process.


Brett Turner (BT): I have been the lead with the expansion team here at Illinois State. This is the fourth expansion I have done, and it has been pretty great so far. We have been on site for the past several weeks, recruiting and helping to build our founding father base for the Illinois State colony.


Walker Rose (WR): I have been assisting Brett with the expansion. We work really closely with the Greek office; they have been very supportive here at ISU. They have given us opportunities to reach out to people through tabling, through some recruitment-style events, and we put on different things around campus. I think the biggest challenge has been getting our name out there. It’s a pretty sizable school, about 23000 students. We are a brand new organization, a small fish in a big pond so we really try to make a name for ourselves doing what we think is the right way. I think the biggest reward has definitely been meeting with those guys who are really interested in doing something that is just a little bit bigger than themselves. There are a lot of people who want to make an impact on this campus; they want to leave a legacy and do a lot of cool things with their experience on campus.


BT: It’s been pretty similar to most other expansions. Our process mostly centers around one-on-one meetings and spending time building relationships with students on campus to get to know them really well to find out if they are going to be a great fit for Lambda Chi. We spend a lot of time preparing to build our names list this summer. Once we got here, we familiarized ourselves with campus, the organizations, and what students are like here to try and get a good understanding on how we can approach this expansion. So far, it has been really great to have that preparation and to have built a great base of our founding fathers.


BT: I think the number one thing that has impressed me so far is the level of interest and passion that students have had, at least the students that have joined on and the students who we have talked to. They have really wanted to create something new, create something different, to really form their unique opportunity, and that’s been really great so far. Illinois State is a beautiful campus, it’s a big campus that is really open and has a really strong Greek Life system here, really strong fraternities and sororities, so it’s really great to be a part of that.


BT: Like I mentioned, I think it is a really strong Greek community, but we have a really great opportunity to help our

The pre-teen girls throw themselves into cartwheels and headstands on the green across the way. Once or twice, looking outside, I’ve considered telling their folks that maybe they should tell them to tuck their shirts in. Some of these kids are attractive; in a world where Vogue


1255460 , by sleeping in until 11:30. Typical teenage priorities. Once I woke up, the first thing I did was wrap the rest of my presents. I'm usually not one for procrastinating, but it was something that I just hadn't gotten around to doing since I was so busy with other stuff (i.e. finishing up a season of Vampire Diaries and going to Starbucks with friends). There were only a few things that I needed to get wrapped for my family, most of which I had just received in the mail yesterday. I'm pretty sure they already know what they are getting, considering I basically told them what it was and asked for their sizes, so I'll just tell you guys too! I got my dad, mom and brother sweatshirts/ tee shirts to Marist College because that's where I'm going to college at next year! For anyone who doesn't know, Marist College is in Poughkeepsie, New York and I'm going for Fashion Merchandising. I can't wait to go there next year!


Anyways, back to my day. After wrapping gifts, I decided to change out of my pajamas and put in my Christmas Eve day outfit on to get my eyebrows done. My top is actually from Forever 21 (even though it wouldn’t look like it), my jeans are from Abercrombie and my boots are from Rag and Bone. I had to call in advanced just to make sure I could get an appointment because you never know how bad a nail salon is going to be on a holiday. They managed to squeeze me in real quick for 5 minutes to get my eyebrows done, and they turned out pretty good!


When I got back from the salon, it was already 1:45, so I decided I should probably start getting ready for church. I started off by picking out which dress I’m going to wear to church tonight. After much consideration, I decided to go with sequin dress from Zara. It’s one of my all time favorite dresses to wear for Christmas. After I put my dress on, I decided to straighten my hair to go along with the dress. It turned out pretty good even though I was rushing.


After my hair, it was time for make up. I started off by putting my foundation on. This foundation works so well with my skin and it feels super light. After I put my foundation on, I always put on my bronzer stick. This stick does a really good job at blending into my skin. After the bronzer, I brush a little highlight right below my eyes to add some sparkle. When that’s done, I finish with putting some powder on my face so it doesn’t get oily. For anyone who has oily skin, like me, this Laura Mercier powder is a life saver. After finishing with my face, I move on to the eyes. I start off by putting my eye shadow on. I always start with the darker shade closest to my eye, then blend it with a light color and add some sparkle. To finish, I put on some mascara. This mascara is amazing for anyone who wants their eye lashes to have volume and look longer. After I’m done with the eyes, I put on my special-occasion long-lasting lip gloss for Kikos and I’m done!


I always make my family take pictures with me before church since everyone is dressed up nice, for the most part. Since we were all outside in town, we had a little photo shoot at the Gazebo.


After picture time, it was time to go to church. The church we go to is always super crowded on Christmas Eve mass, so we have to get there extra early to make sure we have a place to sit. The mass was super long, but I didn’t mind since I was sitting next to my best friend.


After church, it’s finally time for dinner. Every year, we’ve had fondue for Christmas Eve dinner. It’s been a tradition for five years now! We pull out our fondue boilers and my mom gets some bread and other veggies that we can put in there to cook. Each year, my brother and I get a different colored fork that we use to cook the food. This year, my color was pink!


After dinner, we watched our all time favorite Christmas movie- The Polar Express. The Polar Express is one of those movies that is just associated with Christmas, and without it, it’s just the same! My favorite part of the movie is when the the boy gets the bell from Santa and only him and the sister can hear the bell, but the parents can’t because they don’t believe.


Before leaving for my neighbors Christmas party, I had to set up my decorations. Ever since I was younger, I’ve been collecting reindeer and people from the North Pole. I call them Rudolph’s because they are all from the movie Rudolph. Every year, my brother and I set them up on Christmas Eve right in front of my fire place for everyone to see. Continuing the tradition, we set them up tonight and took some pictures of them!


When the movie was over, we went to my neighbors Christmas party. We have been going to their house for over 7 years now and it’s probably my favorite part of Christmas Eve. When we get there, we are surrounded by their family and friends who are the nicest people I’ve ever met. As the night progresses, there’s desserts that people have made and they are always so delicious. The best part of the night is when Santa comes to their house and gives each kid a gift. Out of all the kids that are there, they never leave anyone out, which I think is incredible.


By the time we got home, it was around 11 and I was exhausted from the busy day that I had, so it was time for bed! Merry Christmas everyone!<|endoftext|>Fellow Encryptors and friends! Your mission is to press your luck and see if you can win an exclusive signed/autographed copy of Decrypto!

1255462  then why did they also take his wife’s sister, who I believe was younger, with them? That would have been devastating to their families to lose SO MANY! Maybe their families were in on it?


I was also thinking that it is possible that JFK Jr. was warned about “THE CLINTON CRIME FAMILY” doing something TERRIBLE to him,(just like they have done to SO MANY BEFORE & NOW AFTER). Then I was thinking about how Donald Trump invited The Clintons to his Wedding to Melania. The Clintons went to Trump’s wedding & there is photos of them ALL TOGETHER. Perhaps Trump always knew the Clintons were shady & stayed close to get info & as they say “Keep Your Enemies Closer!” Maybe that was what Trump was doing so that he would know what’s going on & report to JFK Jr.!??


I know it is probably far fetched to believe JFK Jr. faked his death & is alive… & is possibly Q! But ANYTHING is POSSIBLE!


The MAN who is called “VINCENT FUSCA”, & has been showing up at TRUMP RALLY’S & PLACED BEHIND TRUMP at MANY RALLIES who has been said to possibly be JFK Jr.


This man, they are talking about, looks like he definitely has LOTS of MAKE-UP on to try to look like a different person. I mean look at his stubble… it looks like make-up & a wig. However, he has a different nose than JFK Jr. Maybe it is a prosthetic nose that is glued on? I mean why would he even attempt looking ANYTHING like yourself out in public if you faked your death?


As for Plastic Surgery? Ewwww! Why would JFK Jr., his wife, & her sister ALL get Plastic Surgery to look UGLIER??


That Vincent guy looks NOTHING like JFK Jr. unless he is wearing PROSTHETICS, MAKE-UP, & MASSIVE CONTURING of his face… then maybe!!


Kiki, anything is possible. His wife, if that is in fact his wife at the rally, looks looks to not be trying to hide herself to much. Except for looking older, looks the same. But, who knows.


Kiki I ponder because Carolyn was pregnant is why her sister would want to go with them to be with her.


If i remember correctly Lauren had a twin.which means here and her sister could trade places at times. Maybe she was convinced that it was the best thing for for her sister nd brother in law.


I remember when first seeing or hearing of JFK Jr’s. My very first impression was no way is this most handsome man(that I ever layed eyes,a Godly man. Be dead. I just felt it in my whole being.His wife Carolyn is so blessed but so is He. As a matter of fact I didn’t even truely realize that he was even in a plane crash and died. I new to all this and only one year younger then him. A few weeks ago I asked my sister, why don’t we ever see anything about JFK Jr? And where does he live? She was shocked that I didn’t know he was “dead” as “they” say. I am pretty good at face recognition especially his beauty inside & out. I “think” very highly that is he, 99.9% he be Vincent Fusca. My vote counts…lol


JFK Jr: Darling, we have to disappear, fake our own deaths, if not, I will die like my father did, and you’ll be widowed like my mother.


Carolyn: I hate the spotlight. I had a private life, it was great. We can go back to that while you work undercover. I can’t go without my sister. We have to take Lauren with us.”


If you were going to fake your own death, would you do that to you only sister who was also your best friend? My question is, does Caroline know? I am willing to bet, YES!


What makes me believe his death was faked is because Catholics aren’t allowed cremation. What better way not to have to produce bodies…cremation and then burial at sea. Like the fake death of Osama bin Laden. No way would Caroline have allowed her brother to be cremated and dumped in the sea. He would have been buried next to his mother and father. Also, Q said we would never guess who was Q. Certainly intimating that Q is a famous person that everyone would know, but if you thought they were dead…of course you would never guess!


I had told me Husband, before I even read it in your article, that JFK’s burial area does like a Q. Coincidence? I think not.


I am 71 years old and have always wondered about John johns death. Suspicious. I now must stop to pause, the most handsome, the most photographed and the most sought after man. Would he, could he, did he? Tell me George, what about Q.


I also saw a picture someone had taken of JFK, Jr carrying a clear shopping bag with a white rabbit in it, shortly before he died.


This theory that JFK, Jr. faked his own death is a stretch, but I’m willing to entertain the possibility.


I was in Block Island Sound the night John-John’s aircraft went down. It was an extremely foggy night. Visibility was less than 100 feet at sea level that night.


Noses never stop growing. A man’s nose does not look the same nineteen years later. Therefore, a prosthetic is not necessary for this disguise. Those who are Q followers will note the significance of the back windows of the van having seventeen stars.


The voice also matches. A clever man who is thought to be dead could easily make his voice slightly raspy sounding and add a little Italian accent, grow his hair long to partly cover his forehead and ears, wear facial hair, wear dark glasses, and a hat, hunch himself over a little, modify his body language, and get away with hiding in plain sight in front of everyone.


There is an artist/writer online who has an elaborate argument that JFK SENIOR faked his death so maybe like father like son? Miles Mathis updates is where you will find it — but he is generally not pro-Kennedy.


While I am not sure I believe that John Jr. is alive I am going to point out something that no one has in this article or any other on this subject. I can go back and forth all day on whether this is JFK Jr or not but there is one indisputable fact in these photos. Whoever this man is he has had thousands and thousands of dollars of cosmetic dentistry. Anyone who has ever had porcelain veneers knows this. The perfect, straight white teeth. And the same is true of the woman. That gives me pause. Most people do simple things, whitening, straightening, tweeks here and there but this is someone who spent a ton of money on their teeth and most people only go that route if they are in the public eye or need it for their jobs. I’d be very curious to know why. It is the one thing that always loops me back around to believing this may be true.

Ah, Australian Fashion Week. That annual event which brings together the country's most fashionable—where the heels (and anxiety) are high and attention-seekers pose and play before a slew of street-style photographers. But this year was notably different from previous, a shift noticeable before the week even began with the absence of many high profile Australian designers from the schedule. This list included Camilla and Marc, Manning Cartell, Lisa Ho, Easton Pearson, Gary Bigeni and Josh Goot, but what it meant was that the event was more accessible to younger, emerging names, and thus presented a mixed bag of shows—from the spectacular to the so-so. Leading fashion journalist and author Mitchell Oakley Smith puts together his highlights from the week that was.


Despite the gaps left in the schedule via the high-profile designers who opted not to show, this was, overall, a solid season. On the eve of the official event, Mercedes-Benz, the event's naming sponsor, presented a show by the doyenne of Australian fashion, Carla Zampatti, which showcased the designer's unique blend of classic and cool. With creative director Michelle Jank, Zampatti's label successfully caters to longstanding audience as well as a new, younger customer, with this collection harking back to a 70s-era disco with slim-cut jumpsuits, oversized, loose blouses and Le Smoking-style tuxedo jackets.


Alex Perry, too, is a well-known name on the annual fashion schedule, and his spring/summer 2014/2015 collection was one of his finest to date. Like Zampatti, Perry has found middle ground between high fashion and accessible ready-to-wear, making his wares suitable for every occasion, day and night. Perry found inspiration in cheerleader uniforms but there was more to

We did a combination of the gritty environment of Boystown, the pretty and scenic Nature Boardwalk in the Lincoln Park neighborhood and ending with a bit of volleyball and beach theme at North Avenue Beach.


We started with some street photography portraits at The Hollywood Mirror where Glenda modeled some 1960's inspired shades.


The nature boardwalk can give a great view of city skyscrapers while also delivering some very pretty scenes. We walked all around the boardwalk with of course some images underneath the honeycomb structure.


Glenda also had a retro Def Leppard tour jacket in her wardrobe stash so we broke it out for a few images with attitude.


Glenda is a volleyball player back home so North Avenue Beach was the spot to bring out her team gear.


The North Avenue Beach area also gave us an opportunity to include a few of Glenda's favorite things all in one shot - Lake Michigan waves with skyscrapers in the background.

In the world of automatic technologies, each process lends to algorithmization and trading is not an exception. There are more and more algorithmic strategies on the market, as well as ready-made trading robots that are capable of trading without the direct participation of an exchange speculator.


A trading robot is a set of rules and principles of a trading strategy into a single program code that allows you to withdraw profits from the market on the basis of the work logic. Today, robots are everywhere. You can meet them on the Internet, on the mql service, and also order your own trading system for development. However, such an abundance does not guarantee their quality, therefore most automatic trading strategies are nothing more than simply non-working algorithms.


We all know that not all strategiesallow you to earn a stable profit in the market. So is the case with trading robots, which are written according to these methods (


http://www.forexrobotshub.com/). To avoid buying low-quality software for fix apitrading, I recommend you the following parameters, which you should pay attention to when choosing a trading robot, as well as a list of working algorithmized trading strategies.


Statistics for the last period. Ask the developer for test results on different currency pairs, but take into account when the test was made. You can require that the developer make a test for the current moment, and you would have reliable data.


Financial indicators of trading. On the basis of statistics, thus profitability, we should analyze the trading process. The answer to this question will help you find the indicators, namely: drawdown, profit factor, recovery factor, Sharpe ratio, the profitable and unprofitable trades ratio.


A list of current clients and results on real accounts. If the last two points suit you, then you need to make sure of their reliability by querying the results on a real trading account or the trading results with current customers. This will allow you to understand whether the software is purchased and to know what to expect after placing your capital.


Support. An important factor is the product support offered by the developer. So, if there are new versions of the robot, based on the current market conditions, you will always receive the latest software.


If you pay attention to the list of 4 points, about which I wrote above, this will allow you to find a working trading robot today. But if you are looking for software for passive earnings, then to this list, I also recommend you to pay attention to the principles and rules of committing trading operations that are set into the robot. To the working data elements, I include robots written according to the following trading strategies:


Scalping algorithms. These trading robots can be based on virtually any principle and technique. However, due to the large number of speculative transactions, the risk is also controlled. As we know, the main thing is to save the capital, and only then to multiply it.


Grid robots. This approach allows you to earn both on trend, and lateral movements of the market. If you can configure the robot to optimally comply with the grid parameters, then it will allow you to take out a stable profit from the market. The main thing is not to use the principle of martingale


Fix api arbitration algorithmic strategies. Due to the speculative principle, it is also possible to conduct risk-free trading. Opening trading transactions based on exchange rate differences allows the robot to surely receive several profit points, and a large number of these transactions turn these several points into more than 30% of the monthly yield (http://forexzzz.com/product/forex-zzz-lock-arbitrage/).


Taking into account the current material, I hope you can pick up a quality trading robot in your fix api trading to stabilize the result in the financial market.


Most exchange speculators like the process of selecting financial assets for trading: the process in which they can conduct a qualitative analysis and predict the future movement of assets. However, today this task is handled perfectly by trading robots, and in order to compete with them, a fix api trader must jump above his head.


Considering the fact that the number of algorithmic trade transactions grows every year, we can conclude that the absolute majority of participants in the financial market felt the advantages of this trading type. And to such participants, it is possible to attribute both professional players in the form of large investment companies, and beginners who use simple algorithms, written according to their strategy for fix api forex.


Ability to conduct continuous trading. This is one of the first advantages that all traders consider. Surely, you have often regretted the missed opportunity or the omission of a profitable trading signal. However, there are no such situations with the trading robot. A trading robot is a program that will work until it is turned off by you. This makes


Hart didn't want to lose the title in Montreal, his home town. Survivor Series was in Montreal. After hours and hours of deliberation, a screwjob ending was decided upon, wherein Hart would keep the title and then lose it to Michaels the next week at a house show.


Vince McMahon brutally doublecrossed Hart, having the bell ring while Bret was in his own finishing maneuver, the Sharpshooter, and awarded the title to Michaels. The era of pure babyfaces riding off into the sunset was over, and this was their wake-up call. For more details, see The Montreal Incident.


March 1998: Insanely over Stone Cold Steve Austin defeated Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania XIV to win his first WWF Championship. The next, night, Vince McMahon would permanently take an on-screen role as Mr. McMahon--an evil caracature of himself.


MISTER McMahon became disgusted with Austin--Austin wasn't a "corporate" champion. He drank beers in the ring. He cursed. He attacked officials and referees. He did everything a good champion wasn't supposed to do--everything the fans were supposed to be booing him for. McMahon became the obvious villain to feud with Austin, and the night after Wrestlemania, McMahon began an immensely popular feud with Austin that would last for the entire year. It was everything the fans wanted to see--a blue collar worker taking it to his greedy, arrogant, snobbish boss.<|endoftext|>This pair of Mikimoto earrings is part of the South Sea collection.

The DBA must be familiar with the factors that influence concurrency. During DBMS performance tuning, the DBA must also consider available storage resources in terms of both primary and secondary memory. The allocation of storage resources is determined when the DBMS is configured. Performance monitoring issues are DBMS specific. Therefore, the DBA must before familiar with the DBMS manuals to learn the technical details involved is the performance-monitoring task. Backup and recovery activities are of primary concern during the DBMS operation. The DBA must establish a schedule for backing up database and log files at appropriate intervals. All the critical system components like the database, database applications, and transaction logs must be backed up periodically. Database recovery after a media or systems failure requires application of the transaction log to the correct database copy. Security auditing and monitoring involve creating users, assigning access rights, using SQL commands to grant and revoke access rights to users and database objects, creating audit trails to discover security violations. The DBA must periodically generate an audit trail report to determine whether there have been attempted security violations or not, and if so from what locations, by whom. v. Training and supporting users

Application programmers training covers the use of the DBMS tools as well as procedures and standards required for database programming. vi. Maintaining the DBMS, Utilities and Applications The maintenance activities of the DBA are an extension of the operational activities. DBMS maintenance includes management of the physical or secondary storage devices. One of the most common maintenance activities is reorganizing the physical location of data in the database. The reorganization of a database might be designed to allocate contiguous disk-page locations to the DBMS to increase performance. The reorganization process also might free the space allocated to deleted data, thus providing more disk space for new data. Maintenance activities also include upgrading the DBMS and utility software. The upgrade might require the installation of a new version of the DBMS software or an Internet front-end tool.

1 Do Gypsies, Travellers and Show People get the support they need with stress, depression and nerves? Assertive Outreach Research Project Bristol Mind February 2008


3 Bristol Mind Acknowledgements Special thanks to Annie Crocker, from the Gypsy and Traveller Team at Bristol City Council for her invaluable help and advice, and to Sarah Rhodes from the Travellers Health Project. We would also like say a big thank you to the people from the Gypsy, Traveller and Show communities who took part. Jane Mowat, Rosanne Levene, and Rosie Davies worked on this project. This project was also supported by:


5 Do Gypsies, Travellers and Show People get the support they need with stress, depression and nerves? Background Findings from a research project done by Bristol Mind As part of a bigger project the researchers aimed to find out if people from Gypsy and Traveller communities, including Show People, got the kind of help they needed with stress, depression and nerves. The research project was based at Bristol Mind and funded by the Big Lottery Fund. It included people from Bath and North East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire. How it was done? The researchers visited local Travelling and Show People sites accompanied by a member of the Gypsy community, and talked to people about the research to see if they were interested in taking part. Information about the project was also distributed by people working with Gypsies, Travellers and Show People, and the study was advertised in Travellers Times. The researchers were interested in the experiences and needs of the people who were interviewed. The interviews were shaped by a topic guide which outlined areas for discussion. However, the people taking part could respond to the topics as they wished and raise other subjects that were important to them. The interviews were recorded and typed up and then analysed for themes. Who took part? Nine people from the Gypsy, Traveller and Show People communities took part in the study. As well as interviews with people from the communities staff from various services took part in group discussions. One staff member was from a service that worked with people from the Traveller communities. Most people who were recruited lived on permanent sites; at least one was not licensed. Two people were living in rented housing. 4 people described themselves as Travellers, 2 as both a Traveller and a Gypsy, and 2 as Gypsies. One person said they were a Showman. One of the nine had cared for a family member with serious problems. What we found out 1. Attitudes towards mental health issues The language that people used was to describe their problems in terms of experiencing stress, depression, or trouble with their nerves, and people often felt these things were linked to specific situations, like problems on sites or getting children into school. The people who took part talked about stress, depression and nerves relatively openly. However, even when problems were serious, they were not described in the language that health services might use, and people were very reluctant to talk about more serious problems. It was felt that people would not say they had mental health problems the use of the word mental was associated with madness. Mental health services were seen as only for those who had completely lost it and were viewed with suspicion. 1


6 It was clear that for Gypsies, Travellers and Show People the family was very important, and this would include a large group of people. Some people felt that these kinds of problems were private, and something that you did not talk about to other families. Several people who took part also said that they were likely to try to cope with their problems themselves without seeking outside help, and they also wanted to protect their family members from outsiders. This meant that some family members were giving a lot of care and support to those who were unwell. Some people said that problems were God s will and felt that things were meant to be as they were this might mean that people did not seek any help for their problems. 2. Experiences with GP s Most people in the study were registered with a GP, and for most people the GP was the main health service that they used. [Please note that most people were on permanent sites.] Several people talked about going to their GP and focusing on physical health problems, rather than talking about stress, depression or nerves. Their GP s had not picked up on these underlying issues. There were some positive comments about GP s being kind and supportive. Some people had also found their GP s flexible and considerate, for example, dropping round prescriptions. However, others had found them inflexible, especially when emergency help was needed. Some people said it was difficult to use their GP, for example, when they did not have money for their mobile phones so they could not call to make an appointment, or when they did not have the use of a vehicle to get there. 3. What put people off using health services Many people talked a lot about abuse and prejudice they had experienced from people in everyday settings, for example, relating to sites or in pubs and shops. Although these experiences were not directly related to health services, people did not feel they would necessarily be well treated by anyone. Some people had also experienced prejudice and discrimination from GP s and psychiatrists. Some people had been refused treatment, and staff had used insulting language. Some people did not want to be referred on to different people to help them. They did not want to have to repeat their story, and wanted to build up a relationship and trust with one person. One participant said that the care home where their relative was being looked after did not have good standards of hygiene. Washing was all mixed up and the home was not clean enough. This person was not treated with respect and when they tried to raise these problems they were banned from visiting and described as a trouble maker 4. Problems related to sites and housing It is not surprising that a lot of people talked at length about housing problems and the effect that these problems had on their well being. These issues were seen as the main contributors to creating stress, depression and nerves. Problems identified included: sites having poor surrounding environments; frequent moves; being in remote places; poor conditions on sites; pressures relating to unlicensed sites and legal issues; worry about future security and safety; not having enough space or privacy and problems relating to being pushed into houses. 2


7 5. What people wanted People who took part were asked what kind of help they would like. The responses covered a range of areas; people did not just want specific help with stress, depression and nerves. Some people wanted support in their own homes and help with practical things like dealing with forms and other paperwork, and getting access to adult education and literacy classes. Some people also said they wanted help to get their children into school and to cope with them when they felt unwell. Some people wanted more intensive support for problems, for example, help to stop drinking. 6. Tablets and counselling. Many people had taken tablets for stress, depression or nerves at some point. Most people had been given sleeping pills or anti-depressants. Some people did not want to rely on tablets but did think they were sometimes helpful. Other people felt that tablets hid their

Aside from “My Church,” goofier numbers like “Drunk Girls Don’t Cry” and “ ’80s Mercedes” make for apt introductions to Morris’s playful tone and sense of humor, while the bluesier sound on sleeper “Wish I Was” points to her versatility. Morris may be filling opening slots for now, but the strength of her songwriting and the organic, word-of-mouth growth of her fan base indicate that she’s going to be around for a long time. As country fans continue to clamor for a more authentic roster of artists and a tipping point seems to be nigh for new female voices, Morris appears poised to stick around for the long haul.

Alongside our Villa la Vega and the holiday apartments we cultivate, on the island of Lanzarote in Tias, also pumpkin and wines.


If you are interested, we will take you on an entire personal excursion of the island and will show you at our cultivated fields, under which conditions agriculture is possible in Lanzarote.


Because of erosion, the covering with volcanic ash and rocks, the buildings and the strong angle of inclination of the landscape, nearly 75 percent of the surface of Lanzarote can not be used for agriculture. The very dry climate, low rainfall and wind erosion aggravates the situation.


Necessity is the mother of invention. After the terrible volcanic eruptions in the 18th Century, the Lanzaroteños have discovered that trees, whose roots were covered with volcanic ashes, grew significantly better. Now the Lanzaroteños dug, till they reached fertile soil, and planted gape vines into the ground. The Picón (volcanic ash) is permeable and allows that the scarce rainfall gets quickly into the soil and thus can be taken up by the roots. The volcanic ash reduces evaporation and takes the dew, by capillary action, to the roots of the plants.


Not only in the wine growing region is this type of dry land farming being used, but it is also used for the cultivation of potatoes, onions, garlic, corn, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, melons and cactuses. Many people can not imagine that it is possible to grow on such barren soil so different and also very tasty vegetable.


We would be pleased to welcome you as a guest at our Villa la Vega, to explain you in details, during an excursion, this characteristic aspect of the island of Lanzarote. Please talk to us about this possibility at the time of your booking.<|endoftext|>PROSNOW is an innovative snow falls and snow level seasonal forecast service for ski resorts in the Alpine area

To really take on the Trump administration, the Office of Government Ethics would need a stronger arsenal.


Walter M. Shaub Jr., director of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics walks on Capitol Hill in Washington.


For more than 30 years, watchdogs have pleaded in vain with Congress to strengthen the Office of Government Ethics (OGE), an independent agency set up in the wake of Watergate to ward off executive branch conflicts of interest.


Now, lawmakers may finally take notice. Until this year, it’s been easy for Congress to overlook the OGE’s relative lack of clout, sleepy profile, and reluctance to take forceful action. After all, until now all presidents have voluntarily followed fixed ethics conventions, such as disclosing their taxes and placing their assets into blind trusts, and have stood squarely behind the OGE in its inevitable clashes with other federal agencies.


But Donald Trump’s determination to throw those conventions out the window, and his administration’s moves to not only reject OGE’s advice but block it from doing its job, have made it impossible to ignore just how tightly the ethics agency’s hands are tied—as OGE Director Walter M. Shaub Jr.’s recent showdown with Trump’s Office of Management and Budget clearly illustrates.
