Please note that all types and forms of complementary therapies are not intended to replace conventional medical treatment and care. Nor do they replace proper diagnoses and treatment by a qualified medical practitioner. You may be advised by the therapist to consult a medical practitioner either prior to or during a course of therapeutic treatment. Continuation of therapy may depend upon you undertaking this. Complementary therapies are intended to work side by side with conventional treatment where it is required. No therapist can guarantee specific results. The therapist may give information or guidance for the client to consider that could bring about positive results where the client is motivated to change and in conjunction with proper medical support if required. Although the therapist will be as supportive and helpful as possible in all decision making and change processes, any resulting choices and changes made by the client remain the personal and legal responsibility of the client. In order to affect a change, CBT, counselling, hypnotherapy, coaching and mindfulness require commitment and honesty from the client. Regular attendance is essential, as is a commitment to the homework assignments that are agreed.

I love to read, and I love to share what I read (when it’s good) with others. These five books stand out as the best I read this year. Not all of them were new this year, but all of them were new to me, and I highly recommend each of them to you. There is still time to order them as a Christmas present for yourself. Or you could order them for someone else if you wanted to give them something awesome. by Tim Keller It’s always risky to say “no other book does X better”, but in this case it fits. No other book on the subject of work and faith so well explains and sorts out what it means to work as unto the Lord, what a calling is, how to use the gifts God has given us, and how to work well. Tim Keller is my favorite living author because his books answer questions I didn’t even know I had but that needed answering any how. This one changed how I work and how I view what I do. Lencioni is to business for me what Tim Keller is to faith. He is a master at sorting out problems and offering solutions in concrete, principled, unarguable ways. After having read many of his business fables and loving them, I see this as sort of his magnum opus. It takes the individual principles from those other books and synthesizes them into a concise, enjoyable, and powerful look at why organizational health matters more than any other facet of business. Every leader of every organization would benefit from reading this book. See: Death by Living: Life Is Meant to Be Spent I actually read this one of Wilson’s books first and was blown away for all the reasons I listed above. Between the two of these he has put himself squarely on the “read everything this author writes” list for me. And that is avery, very short list comprised of one dead man and not very many living ones.

…Goodwill? Oh, yes, indeed! For those who are Columbia theatre-goers, you have no doubt seen Goodwill items on each and every one of our local stages. It was recently my privilege to direct the farce, Don’t Dress For Dinner, for Workshop Theatre. It was after taking a wide-view picture of our set that I realized just how many items from Goodwill helped us to create a wonderfully posh renovated 1990s farmhouse for not much money at all! The largest item was a wonderful paisley-ish chair that I swear had a twin in my parents’ den when I was in high school. Once I saw it, I knew this simply had to be on the set. Cost? Seventeen dollars, which gave us a perfect period chair for less than a twenty. Boom! The two framed pictures by the front door were particularly special to me, as they were the basis of my blog post from several months ago, demonstrating how to inexpensively frame pictures using Goodwill art. (http://goodwillscblog.wpengine.com/i-was-framed/ ) … and here we have Covent Garden Market and the Cathedral Church of St. Cuthbert’s…both for a few dollars and a bit of elbow grease. As with any farce, our show contained several moments of chaos, often surrounding the bar. These unbreakable melamine glasses proved invaluable as they were dropped, thrown, and otherwise comedically misused. As a testimonial to their strength, one even survived a nightly slam to the floor. Safe, attractive, and disaster-free for about five bucks. As for the rest of it? Who can say…as with most arts organizations, we save money where we can, and it’s quite possible that any number of the many props on our set were once on a Goodwill shelf. Finally, let’s glance at the costumes. Offhand, I can identify four Goodwill garments. Which ones are they? Well, that’s the point. There’s a lot of great merchandise at Goodwill that’s in new or next-to-new condition. Give us a try, and you’re sure to get a standing ovation!

I’ve always been so obsessed with keeping my skin clean and refreshed. Luckily, I have never had a problem with my skin apart from the occasional spots but yet I still lust for perfect smooth skin, well doesn’t everybody? Apart from drinking heaps of water and my daily/nightly facial routine I’ve been longing for a facial cleansing brush that really does the job perfectly. I’ve wanted to find one for so long purely as an extra help to make sure all my makeup/dirt is completely drawn from my face. There’s no better feeling when my skin feels so healthy and looks glowing! I came across a brand called Senssē beauty which they kindly gifted me one of their products. This being their Silicone Facial Cleansing Brush which I was soooo was excited to receive and review for all of you. I must say when it arrived it came the most stunning packaging, a white box with gold writing on. I was even more amazed when I opened the box, the actual brush is so pretty! The brush is pink and bronze, which I love of course. As well as the Facial Cleansing Brush in the box includes a little booklet full of instructions and safety warnings, a USB cable and the most amazing pink glittered Luxe Cosmetic Bag. This brush is a great deep cleanser and also has an anti-ageing service button on the machine too. The routine to use this brush is so simple and easy after the second use I didn’t need to read the manual again, as it was very straight forward. Before using the device make sure the brush is fully charged, the device shows it’s fully charged when the flashing stops. My routine when using the brush Firstly, I used a makeup wipe to make sure all my makeup is pretty much removed. Alongside this, I use the Simple facial toner to make sure the rest of the dirt and makeup has been removed! I apply warm water to my face and apply small amounts of No7 Cleansing lotion to the place I want to deep cleanse my skin. For me this tends to be on my forehead, nose, cheeks and chin. Majority of the places you use this Facial brush is along your contouring lines. Turn on the device by pressing the middle button once. The buttons on the left and on the right are to adjust the intensity, there are six different intensity levels. I normally set my intensity on level 3-4 and in circular motions all over the contoured parts of my face i deeply cleanse my face. For each part of my face I cleanse for about 15-20 seconds, I don’t tend to use the anti ageing button much. You can use the back of the facial brush to massage your skin after use, I do this every time. To finish simply rinse and dry with a towel. I do this routine daily! The best part of using this facial brush is it automatically switches off after 3 minutes of no activity, which is good because it is not recommended to do this more than 3 minutes each time. My full review Personally, this product has done my skin the world of good. From using this product every night I have found my skin looks so glowing and fresh, it feels so clean all the time too! When I first started to use this product I had a few spots on my forehead, honestly they have cleared up so much faster then they usually do. My skin currently looks so clean and I don’t even have one spot. I am so happy with the outcome of this product! I would recommend it to anyone and I will definitely be carrying on using this daily. Even better, this silicone facial cleansing brush is currently on offer on Amazon. The normal price would be £90.00 and right now you can get it for £39.99!!!! You’ll never know how truly amazing this device is until you actually use it yourself, but my favourite points that make this cleansing brush so good are; - There is six different intensity levels - It contains a built in timer - You can use it 180 times between each full charge which is AMAZING! - Automatically shuts off after 3 minutes - its WATERPROOF – with it being waterproof it means I can use it in the shower, which is the best and so much easier. Using it in the shower is also good, purely because it will basically clean the brush at the same time! I hope I have you convinced as I am totally in love with it! I have a follow up blog post coming next Wednesday all about another Sensse product – so keep a look out!! ***This collaboration is gifted but please be aware my opinions are completely true and my own****

Now that Aperture won't be supported in the next Mojave update I'm having to look at a replacement. I know that there is Luminar 3 but I'm not sure that it is ready yet to be my main DAM software at the moment. The main reason I still use Aperture is the DAM and also the ability to round trip Skylum plug-ins - I still use the Creative Kit individually and also Aurora and Luminar Flex. I have looked at using Apple Photos but don't want to go down the Photos Libraries set up and the Adobe/ Adobe CC option doesn't appeal either. If anyone could suggest a workflow that will enable the above I'd be very grateful to be pointed in the right direction! Thanks in advance. Please sign in to leave a comment.

Term of Award Master of Science in Biology (M.S.) Document Type and Release Option Thesis (open access) Department of Biology Bruce A. Schulte Committee Member 1 J. Michelle Cawthorn Committee Member 2 James B. Claiborne Female African elephants exhibit multiple levels of social organization with the family as the functional social unit. Families consist of related females and the oldest female is the matriarch. Related family groups that frequently fuse are termed kinship groups, led by the grand matriarch. I examined matriarch communication behavior across social context and their role in interactions between families at waterholes in Addo Elephant National Park, South Africa. I analyzed three hypotheses for matriarchal effects on group fitness: a) older matriarchs provide greater access to resources, b) older matriarchs lead more social groups, or c) there is no behavior-fitness relationship and differences in behavior represent behavioral signatures. Matriarch presence in an approaching family significantly increased the likelihood that agonistic interactions or pass away behavior occurred, rather than the most submissive turn back behavior. When more than one kinship group was present, 18 of 24 matriarchs performed chemosensory behaviors compared to 8 of 24 when only their kinship group was present. As the measure of fitness, the kinship calf-to-female ratio increased with grand matriarch age, and was weakly affected by waterhole use but not sociality. Kinship level behavioral signatures also were evident. Matriarchs influenced group interactions and fitness, and their chemosensory behavior increased in more complex social contexts.

Produced in Hangzhou city and the neighboring areas close to West Lake in Zhejiang Province, China, Black Long Jing tea is a competitive type of black tea in China. Different from regular green tea Long Jing, black Long Jing is produced with black tea process. Currently, dragon well tea is generally referring to the slap-up flat-shaped stir-fried green tea that made by the similar plucking and producing technique as West Lake dragon well tea. This special tea use the same leaves from west lake production area, most of the material goes for green Long Jing, only small part plucked before Qingming is preserved for black. This is attributed to the high yield and excellent quality of tea trees growing in the region thanks for the rich soil and favorable weather. Tea production in Hangzhou has a long history which can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. Although black Long Jing has similar shape with green version Long jing, its leaves are broad and flat, a result of laborious drying. The taste is nothing like Green Tea Long Jing at all, this tea carries the character of typical black tea. Black Long Jing tea is featured by fine picking and fabricating process, firm and slender figure, dark and sleek color and luster, faint fragrance of honey or orchid, as well as long-lasting freshness. And the liquor is characterized by bright red as well as sweet and mellow savor. Black Long Jing tea can be drunk without adding anything so as to taste its peculiar fragrance, or added with milk, granulated sugar and lemon to obtain different flavor. To brew Black Long Jing, 1. Cover the bottom of the gaiwan with a shallow layer of the dry leaf, approximately 1 teaspoon 2. Start heating 2 to 3 cups of cold, filtered water in a kettle. 3. When you see the Fish Eyes (160 -180F) breaking the surface, the water is ready to pour. 4. Pour the water into the gaiwan. 5. Let the leaves rest for a minute or so, then stroke the water with the lid . 6. In another minute or so, you can begin to drink. 7. When you have finished one cup, add more hot water directly. You may add add milk, honey or lemon.

Panzer General II Panzer General II returns to the ever-popular European World War II theater with a turn-based strategy game that plays out a variety of major battle scenarios with the plodding effectiveness of a tank. There is nothing new or innovative in the way it creates a quick, fast-paced, playable gaming experience similar to Milton Bradley's WWII strategy board game Axis and Allies. My first look at Panzer General II confirmed my expectations of a good balance of strategy and playability. There are not a lot of complex economic and social models to complicate the issues of military strategy. Ease of play is emphasized over historical realism. The game includes over 40 scenarios, three campaigns and a Scenario Editor, which provide ample opportunity to recreate the major European engagements of World War II as well as a few hypothetical ones, such as an invasion of England and an invasion of the United States. If you are looking for a game that covers the entire gamut of World War II, this is not the game for you. Panzer General II, as its name implies, focuses exclusively on troop and tank warfare in Europe, including some aerial and naval combat for Blitzkrieg and beachhead scenarios, but there are no Pacific Theater, ship-to-ship scenarios or campaigns. The basic unit of the game is a scenario that covers a specific battle, with a campaign consisting of scenarios strung together with the added bonus of accumulated experience. It is this narrowness of focus, precluding a larger, more comprehensive representation of the entire war, which helps make the game fast and easy to learn. Each scenario is defined by the following characteristics: Nationalities, Prestige Points, Number of Turns, and specific sets of defined military objectives on the battlefield which must be held or gained. Nationalities break down into the traditional split of the Axis, which is Germany, and the Allies, which varies between the United Kingdom, the United States, France, the USSR, Spain, Finland and even Poland. Prestige is a combination of military success and economics, which allows the player to re-supply current units and requisition new troops and equipment over the course of the battle. Prestige can be adjusted at the beginning of a scenario to change the odds between players. The number of turns controls the amount of gameplay, as well as measuring the difference between victory and defeat. Victory is defined in three ways, Brilliant Victory, Victory, and Tactical Victory, depending upon the number of turns it takes to capture all the objectives. Gaining all the objectives in the fewest possible turns is a Brilliant Victory, doing the same in an average number of turns is a Victory, and using all the turns in a scenario is a Tactical Victory. Failure to achieve all objectives is a defeat, while giving up held objectives to the computer will also result in a loss. All these elements combine to create a variety of tactical and strategic situations. An interesting example of this is the Cauldron scenario set in North Africa, which was one of the most difficult for me with its short battle time of 6 turns. I played it over and over, attempting to avoid overexposing my offense while still moving fast enough to capture the objectives. The controls seem to act like something built in the 1940s. They get the job done with a minimum of fuss, but they are clunky at times. The process of requisitioning new troops or equipment requires you to click on too many screens. However, what they lack in finesse they make up for in simplicity, generally contributing to the speed of the game. Getting started is best accomplished with the tutorial, which offers a quick introduction to the game and how it works. It doesn't explain everything you need to know for all the scenarios, but establishes a basic framework from which to explore the more complicated nuances of the game. "The Living Battlefield" represents not the next level of gaming, but an average, run-of-the-mill representation of a board game ported to the PC. The landscapes look good, depending on terrain -- the desert is a uniform tan, while the mountains and woods look better. I found it easier to understand the map with the grid overlay turned on, as it made it easier to determine where I wanted to move. The least impressive part of the graphics is the troop units, which lack the detail of the planes and tanks. All in all, it looks like a board game with its huge tanks and troops traversing all over a fairly realistic terrain. Both the soundtrack and the background noises are rather subdued, helping to set the mood without being too obtrusive. The sounds of rifle shots, tank tracks, and artillery fire help accentuate the mood of the battle and let you know what is going on. The music more than anything lets you know what side you're playing -- bagpipe music for Scottish troops working as a part of the forces of the United Kingdom or something out of Doctor Zhivago for the Soviet army -- but its best attribute is that it didn't overwhelm the game itself. Panzer General II utilizes a solid AI, but it suffers from the lack of control. The computer is consistent in its defense or attack, always focused on taking or defending battlefield objectives with directness. Leave your flank open, and it drives around your forces and captures your undefended objective, ending the battle for you with a loss. It also realizes the need for delaying action to slow your attack down to a crawl. The biggest downside to the AI is that you are unable to directly control it. There are no specific AI settings, only the ability to control the starting Prestige to give yourself an advantage and the computer a disadvantage. Another disappointment is that each scenario starts out the same and gets easier with each subsequent time you play it. I would have liked to see a random generation or something to provide more of a challenge. In addition to Prestige, there are two items which have a huge impact on the AI experience of each scenario. First, Line of Sight is always based upon your unit's position. Although sometimes it would seem that your troops could see further than they are allowed, it makes for a difficult advance when tanks appear out of nowhere and slaughter your advance scout troops. Second, battle scenarios seem to provide a wide difference of challenges. In some scenarios, I achieved Tactical Victories on the first try, while others needed numerous attempts to gain the same thing. Panzer General II offers support for two to four players via a LAN, the Internet, their own gaming service Club SSI, and Play-by-Mail. The documentation does not indicate what protocols are supported, except TCP/IP for Internet. Play by Mail is an interesting throwback to older days of gaming, which consists of basically sending saved games back and forth. The manual that comes with game is standard issue: glossy cover, historic photographs, and helpful background overviews for the scenarios and campaigns. However, lacking an index, it fails to provide easy access to all the detailed information that helps make the game more interesting and fun to play. For example, I started a scenario with naval transports ready to unload on the beaches, yet I had to dig through the manual a bit to find out that this is covered under Movement, Embarking and Disembarking Air and Naval Units. Required: Windows 95 with DirectX5, Pentium 90 MHz, 16 MB RAM, Windows 95 compatible 1 MB video card, Windows 95 compatible sound card, uncompressed hard drive with at least 25 MB free disk space and up to 5 MB for each saved game or scenario, 4X CD-ROM drive, mouse Reviewed On: Pentium II-266, 64 MB RAM, 20X CD-ROM drive, Matrox Millennium (4 MB), integrated Yamaha soundcard. The 1.01 patch includes a few corrections here and there, as well as Club SSI support. It is available at ftp://ftp.ssionline.com/pub/updates/panzergeneral2/us/pg201.exe. The box for Panzer General II touts the game as "The Sequel of the Century!" and "It's an entire generation beyond anything yet seen in strategy games." It is really only a solid, turn-based strategy game. It suffers from board game level graphics, a clunky interface and a less-than-perfectly-designed manual. However, these defects do not prevent it from delivering a fast-paced, fairly straightforward World War II game, reminiscent of the strategy board games of the past.

Christian beliefs about creation For Christians, God and therefore the Trinity was the way in which the world was created. The Nicene Creed (a statement of faith) begins with the ‘We believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth’ The Father is the creative element of God. St John’s Gospel opens with the phrase ‘In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made’ This emphasises the idea of God creating through His Word eg ‘And God said, let there be light.’ However, there is more to the term ‘Word’ than this. The author of John’s Gospel links the Word with Jesus (The Son); “The Word became flesh and lived for a while among us. Combining these you can see that God and Jesus are one and the same thing. The Genesis account of creation also states that ‘The earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters’ The spirit is viewed as God in action, transforming chaos into order. Key Idea – All aspects of God (The Trinity) are evident in creation. Describes the creation of the universe over a six day period: - DAY 1 – light - DAY 2 – sea and sky - DAY 3 – land and plants - DAY 4 – sun, moon and stars - DAY 5 – birds and fish - DAY 6 – animals and humans - DAY 7 – God rests Interpretations of the Genesis story Not all Christians interpret the Genesis story the same way: Fundamentalist Christians – Take the story literally. The Bible is the exact word of God and cannot be questioned. Conservative Christians – Believe that God did not dictate the story but inspired it. It could therefore contain errors. There is also room for interpretation of the story eg each day period could simply be a period of time rather than twenty four hours. Liberal Christians – Believe that the story in Genesis is a myth that conveys important messages or meaning. It should not be taken as factually true. The message given is that we are each created and loved by God and have been given a beautiful world to live in that we should take care of.

MY LATEST POSTS MIND - GET YOUR 10.000 STEPS Have you ever heard that friend or family member talking about walking 10.000 steps and always wondered what it was about? What steps? How? And more importantly, why for heavens sake? Isn’t that for old people with those hiking shoes and their poles? a.k.a. Nordic walking sticks that they always seem to be using in a wrong way.. "I’m young and fresh and have a gym membership, but never go to the gym. I do yoga, when I remember that I had to do yoga. And, I walk a fair deal, to the coffee machine at work. And don't forget how much calories I burn, when I vacuum clean my home. And I try the running thing, every other year or so". We get you..;) Let’s start at the beginning, why 10.000 steps?

To our valued customers... Reunited and it Feels So Good! Laughing Elephant & Green Tiger Press join together! Green Tiger Press and Laughing Elephant are back together. The website of Green Tiger Press, Laughing Elephant’s sister imprint, is now combined with Laughing Elephant’s website. Green Tiger’s focus was on on-demand (print to order) products and prints, while Laughing Elephant’s has been on books, stickers, journals, and a curated selection of greeting cards both packaged and individual. We have now combined these two sites. That means laughingelephant.com now has nearly 3000 new products, including prints, wooden signs and greeting cards! All of our products are now in one convenient location, and that means Green Tiger Press's collection of over 3000 vintage images, most available as both cards and prints, is ready to explore and enjoy along with all our familiar Laughing Elephant books, stickers, notebooks and etc. Did you know that the illustrator Alexandra Day, creator of the popular Good Dog, Carl series of children’s books, is one of our founders and owners? In addition to her wonderful daily creative input, this means we can offer signed Good Dog Carl books as well as Carl greeting cards and prints that are exclusive to Laughing Elephant. See all our wonderful Good Dog, Carl products here > Another delightful area of our website is that featuring images of children. We have subdivided it into sections for boys, girls, and children in general. As many of you may know, most of our images derive from vintage children’s books, and thus it makes sense that we feature many images of children in all of our products, throughout our website. But more than that, it is the spirit of children, their wonder, and innocence, that inspires much of what we do. The children section of our website features them at play, at leisure, having adventures, enjoying nature, and much more. Please enjoy some wonderful images of children here > Our website is a treasure trove, full of gems waiting to be discovered. But might we suggest a few highlights, or, to be perfectly frank, some of our favorites? Our Shakespeare offerings highlight beautiful and fascinating images depicting scenes from Shakespeare’s plays and poetry, largely from the 18th and 19th century. Many delightful Shakespeare images > An invention of our other founder–Harold Darling–Weird and Wonderful– is a grouping of images and products that rather defies categorization. They are indeed weird, or odd, or puzzling, but also delightful, amusing and intriguing. Before what we might arguably term the sanitization of literature for children, the strange and delightful inventions of many creative minds survived and thrived in the world of publishing. People turned into objects, animals turned into people, strange conveyances, and animals of uncertain origin; such things merely scratch the surface of Weird and Wonderful. See all our Wonderful Weirdness here >

This post has a lot of pictures, I hope you don’t mind (they are cute I promise!) Today my mom and I went to an event at Animal Place, a local (ish) farm sanctuary, called Music in the Meadows. There were animals to be met, there was music to be heard, food to be sampled, and swag to be given. Oh, and it is all vegan:) Got our goodie bags and ready to go in!! They have a veganic (meaning organic, but without the use of animal waste as fertilizer. read about it here) The ‘main’ area, with vendors, a silent auction, and music” After lunch and some musing around the vendors, we decided to go see the animals! The event was for them, after all:) Right outside of the cow’s area was a veal crate, to show how tiny the crates are that the baby cows are forced to live in. They have no room to turn or even lay down, so that they don’t build any muscle for the veal. It was narrower than my arm is wide. (side note, excuse the look. Trying to look solemn while the sun is in your eyes isn’t very effective) My wingspan was bigger than the crate. I’m only 5’1”, and I lost a hand of length on each side. This crate was less than 5 feet, way to small for even a baby cow. Its horrible. This is a picture I took with my phone last year of a rescued veal calf. I named him “my baby Harold”. I about died when I saw him again this year:) One year later! Still cute, but much bigger now! And with eyebrows haha! He has had such a happier, longer life being rescued than he would have as a veal calf! Hahaha when I took this picture he turned his face full on to my camera and mooo’ed. It was like his version of saying cheese. Awesome 🙂 Gigantic. Furry. Cow. I was a little nervous with this one… He was so serene! I don’t even know how many families and little kids came up to see him today, but he absolutely loved all of the attention! My mom took a pose with me too What a life. I wish I had time to relax. (probably not in the mud for me though 🙂 ) This guy had no qualms about people. He came straight towards us to be scratched, a pushy goat he was 🙂 Doesn’t your heart just melt? Oh, Hey whats up? I got my picture taken with John Robbins, (author of Diet for a New America and Food Revolution). He spoke all about GMO labeling (A big deal in CA right now, there is a measure on the ballot this Nov that could require companies to label GMOs on all of their products, and the major GMO company Monsanto is fighting it with every move they can possible make), connections and disconnects between humans and animals, and a whole slew of other interesting things! He even had a few quotes I loved; “The journey from the head to the heart is the most important journey you can take”, and another one about how whatever a person struggles the most with now, once they overcome it they will be 1000 times stronger in that area of their life. I told him about how my AP Environmental science teacher played his video of Diet for a New America in the first week of school, and that he was on our unit test. Also how my science teacher said it was the best movie to connect all of the information out there regarding how we eat affects the planet, the animals, our health, and the health of people in different countries who we will never meet, and that he has played it in his class for the last 15 years, and will keep playing it for the next 20. John Robbins thought that was pretty cool haha:) I know you were wondering what goodies we walked out with! Besides the cute little reusable bag filled with swag, I also won a raffle and received even more fun little things (in a more ambiguous white paper bag) The whole spread, between my mom’s bag, my bag, and my raffle prize. Not shown are all of the pamphlets that came too haha Whole foods donated a huge variety of individual sweeteners, including flavored agave! The candy is a (vegan) milk chocolate crispy bar (like Nestle Crunch). And Alternative Baking Company gave every single person a free cookie. Yes. They also had a sample table, I had a few tastes:) The cinnamon cookie tastes like the gooey, doughy inside of a cinnamon roll, in case you were wondering:) Its official. They have now made a vegan version of everything. The question is no longer “what can’t I have?”. It is now “what in the world do I do with it?” No, I’m serious. Any suggestions?? John Robbins also spoke about the difference between Farm Animals and Farmed Animals. No animal is truly a ‘farm animal’, because animals were not created to live on a farm. Thus, animals are farmed, it is an action not a separate breed of creature. Animals on factory farms are not living the life they were intended to live. The farmed animals at Animal Place farm sanctuary have been rescued from factory farms and family farms alike. Some were abandoned pets, some were pets people found they were not capable of caring for. But they can now live a life a little closer to what they were created to live. It is a beautiful thing to see a truly happy animal. Comfortable, and loving life.

A licensed producer of medical cannabis in British Columbia has recalled 28 kilograms of dried marijuana it produced a year ago after an unauthorized pesticide was found in one of its samples, making it the seventh LP to recall MMJ this year. Broken Coast Cannabis, of Ladysmith, Vancouver Island, issued the voluntary recall for three lots of dried marijuana that were produced between June and July 2016. Following Health Canada’s initial inspection at the Broken Coast Cannabis site in March 2017, a test result for a cannabis oil sample showed the presence of two pesticides that are not authorized for use on cannabis — myclobutanil and spinosad. Broken Coast Cannabis said it hasn’t used the pesticide and is investigating how it ended up in the batch now being recalled. Amid calls for stricter product testing standards, Health Canada started unannounced inspections at licensed cannabis cultivators in February to ensure that only registered pesticides are used.

Old Town Silverdale Welcome to Old Town Silverdale – Founded in 1854. Visit Old Town Silverdale Historic District on Facebook for what happening! Old Town Silverdale Points of Interest – Sponsored by Port of Silverdale. Most people today know Silverdale only as the center of business and retail services, but Silverdale has a rich history spanning 156 years. You’ll ample evidence in the many historic building that line the streets of Old Town Silverdale where technology and old world charm and a beautiful waterfront setting make this a lovely place to spend for the day, overnight or the weekend. A Brief History… Silverdale was settled in 1854 by loggers who went on to expand operations into the valleys, building roads as they went. By the 1880s Scandinavian immigrants were moving into the area seeking work in the timber industry. As the timber production took the prime trees attention turned to farming. Farming conditions were excellent and the family farms thrived. The Farmer’s Cooperative was formed in 1887. Dairy, chicken and hog farms abounded even through the middle 20th century. The town was named in 1878 by Settler William Littlewood wanted to name the town Goldendale, but it turned out that another town bore that name. Instead of trying to find an entirely new name, he changed the “gold” to “silver” and named it Silverdale. In the mid 1880’s steamer boats began making regular trips to Seattle from the Kitsap area and by 1900 the sloop “Telka” departed Silverdale for Seattle once a week. While The Silverdale Dock, located at what is now the Silverdale Waterfront, was the center of entertainment and commercial trade well into the 1900s. Remnants of its beginnings as an agricultural and timber center can be found at places such as the Old Mill Site on Bucklin Hill Rd. Today Old Town Silverdale has a wide variety of shops, art galleries, cafés and panoramic waterfront views of Sinclair Inlet. The local favorite place to hike is the lovely Clear Creek Trail, which winds through the rest of Silverdale’s urban area. This information was borrowed from www.visitkitsap.com.

- Americans plan to spend an average of $830 on gifts this season - Estimate is up sharply from $720 a year ago at this time - Increase points to solid holiday retail sales PRINCETON, N.J. -- Gallup's November update of Americans' 2015 holiday spending intentions finds U.S. adults planning to spend $830 on Christmas gifts this year, on average. That is up sharply from the $720 recorded a year ago, and is significantly higher than what consumers have indicated in any November since 2007. According to the Nov. 4-8 poll, 30% of U.S. adults expect to spend $1,000 or more on gifts, slightly higher than the 25% in the top-spender category a year ago. About one in five will spend between $500 and $999, 14% will spend between $250 and $499, and 19% will spend less than $250. Just 8% say they don't celebrate Christmas or won't be spending anything, while 7% are unsure how much they will spend. Although the average amount all Americans expect to spend is $830, the figure rises to $908 when excluding those who won't spend anything -- or, in other words, when limited to U.S. Christmas shoppers. Gallup's initial measure of 2015 holiday spending plans, conducted in October, also showed consumers poised to splurge this Christmas, as that month's $812 average spending figure was the highest Gallup had seen in any October since 2007. The consistency between the two months is a bit unusual, as Gallup typically finds Americans scaling back their spending plans between October and November. According to Gallup's modeling of how prior years' spending forecasts compare with the final November-December retail sales figures for each year, Americans' latest Christmas spending data point to an estimated increase of between 5.1% and 5.8% in U.S. holiday retail sales. This forecast is based on historical comparisons of Gallup November spending estimates to the U.S. Census Bureau's GAFO (General Merchandise, Apparel and Accessories, Furniture and Other Sales) retail sales estimates. Even at the low end, the predicted range of increased holiday spending would be a considerable improvement over the past decade, when retail sales increases have had a hard time exceeding 3%, and even decreased during the worst of the 2007-2009 economic slump. Christmas spending intentions vary greatly by household income. Americans living in households earning $75,000 or more per year plan to spend an average of $1,227 on Christmas gifts this season. This drops to $786 among middle-income earners and to $460 among those earning less than $30,000. Estimated Christmas spending is also higher among households with children younger than 18 living at home than among those without children at home: $1,092 versus $706. Regardless of whether Americans follow through with their higher spending intentions, the fact that they are in the mood to do so is a positive sign for the nation's retailers at the end of a slow year. Until now, overall consumer spending has been rather anemic according to U.S. Commerce Department data, typically rising by not much more than 1% in any month this year. However, the latest available GAFO data from September -- which are more indicative of the types of purchases Americans make at Christmas -- showed an increase of 2.4%. If that holds in the October report, an increase of 5% or more by November and December may not be unreasonable, particularly in light of continued lower gas prices. Results for this Gallup poll are based on telephone interviews conducted Nov. 4-8, 2015, with a random sample of 1,021 adults, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. For results based on the total sample of national adults, the margin of sampling error is ±4 percentage points at the 95% confidence level. The margin of sampling error for the average Christmas spending estimate is ±$63 at the 95% confidence level. Each sample of national adults includes a minimum quota of 60% cellphone respondents and 40% landline respondents, with additional minimum quotas by time zone within region. Landline and cellular telephone numbers are selected using random-digit-dial methods. Learn more about how the Gallup Poll Social Series works.

We have seen before how machines, or more precisely the algorithmically programmed computers, are increasingly responsible for setting prices in the WTI futures pit. The algos feed on news flow, but don’t seem capable of being able to distinguish between quantitative news and qualitative news. The most recent run in WTI from just over $47 at the end of March to just under $53 today (an almost 12 percent move in roughly two weeks) is a case in point. It’s getting harder to provide any sort of rationale for moves of this magnitude. Or is it even profitable to continue looking for one? For WTI, it’s really an existential question. The news flow has focused on speculation that OPEC production levels would continue to decline and even be extended into the second half of this year. Helpful and timely comments from Saudi Arabian sources suggesting as much were clearly catalytic. Reports that OPEC compliance to the cuts had reached not just into the 90 percent-plus range, but had actually exceeded the planned cuts at the highly impressive level of 104 percent were also clearly supportive. The 104 percent figure was positively febrile. In addition, the EIA’s renewed but nonetheless periodic pronouncements that the global oil market would soon be in balance added fuel to the fire. Against this backdrop of headline news (or perhaps you could call it fake news) were some more broadly based macro-economic and fundamental factors. First, the U.S. dollar index (DXY) moved up smartly with the run in WTI. That doesn’t seem to fit the bill with the prevailing orthodoxy, though that orthodoxy is not necessarily the reality. Normally, you would expect the algos to bid crude lower with a stronger U.S. dollar; in the opposite case, when the dollar is weaker, crude is bid correspondingly higher. That certainly wasn’t the case with this latest run, which is to say currency should have been a headwind to higher WTI prices, not a tail wind. Related: Could An OPEC Extension Normalize Inventories? Interestingly, as WTI fell from its recent highs, the U.S. dollar as measured by the DXY has also fallen. WTI could have been expected to be stronger, but it wasn’t. It has actually been weaker in the past few days, which can easily be construed as bearish. Second, the most recent inventory numbers issued by the EIA were bullish, as crude inventories and both categories of product (gasoline and distillates) fell in aggregate by eight million barrels. Nonetheless, crude failed to rally and actually fell. Third, the term structure or front month/one-year contango has resumed its widening trend over the course of the past few days. Generally, traders view any such apparent shift in the term structure as bearish for WTI. There’s an old saying in the capital markets: when a market can’t rally on bullish news, it’s no longer a bull market. So if WTI has indeed just topped out at roughly $53.70 for this run, it’s probably even odds that it’s either market fatigue or a question of mission accomplished. Related: China’s Teapot Refiners Diversify As Exports Remain Forbidden In a nutshell then, I’d be inclined to think it’s a bit of both: 1) Commercial hedgers have been out in force as WTI has hit its upper band of US$52-54 to soak up the speculative futures position buying. The most recent COT (Commitments of Traders) report from the U.S. CFTC indicates that spec longs were up 7 percent for the week by just under 30,000 contracts after declining for the last couple of weeks. We’ll see how long that lasts. 2) The algos have reached their expected commodity price targets for WTI based on steep and chronic resistance at the $54 level. 3) Option price targets, particularly the cluster at the popular 50 strike in WTI, have also been achieved. In very round numbers, a 12 percent run in two weeks equates with a 300 percent-plus return at annual rates. Maybe the machines aren’t so dumb after all.

Aaaand It’s Gone: This Is Why You Always Demand Physical Tyler Durden’s picture Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/14/2012 21:09 -0400 *** begin quote *** We have said it over and over, we’ll say it again. For all those who for one reason or another would like to boycott the broken markets, yet trade gold in paper form, please understand that all the invested capital is at risk of total loss and can and will be lost, commingled and rehypothecated, not necessarily in that order, with little to zero recourse and the residual claim on liquidating assets pushed to the very end of the queue. Because if Lehman, MF Global, Peregrine, and countless other examples were not enough, here comes Amber Gold: a gold-based investment ponzi scheme out of Poland, in which it is likely needless to say that the gullible investors never had actual possession of the gold. And when they tried, it was gone. All gone. *** end quote *** Why do you trust that someone else is watching your assets? Ponzi is the meme.

The fireplace in our study is all fixed up, and it even provides heat now! We gave this disused fireplace some cosmetic updates, and last week we had a heat pump installed inside of it. ICEBOX NO MORE. The first stage in fixing up this fireplace was to build a brick hearth at its base. (I also painted it all white, while I was at it.) We knew that we’d get a heater installed in there, so once the hearth was cured and painted, I got to work cleaning up the rough interior. The back was badly patched with mortar, so I spent a few days applying mesh tape and giving it heavy passes of joint compound to fill it all in. (I used a sponge to wet-sand the ridges.) Once everything was wiped down and ready, I painted and primed everything. So far so good. With the insides painted black it looked like a little moonscape diorama. All I needed to do was finish off the floor inside it. We got a quote and scheduled a date for a heat pump install… and then learned that the floor model would not be freestanding. The heat pump would need a wall or surround to attach to, and the installers planned to bolt a sheet of MDF + colorbond onto the face of the fireplace. So not only did I waste a heap of time prettying up the interior, it’d have an ugly surround to boot. Oh. The heat pump guys were happy to let us make our own surround, though. They gave us dimensions of the heat pump (and comped us $80 on total install) and let us know that it could be recessed, so that only about 50mm of the heat pump itself would protrude past the surround. Nice! They were good to work with. Jamie attached a simple frame inside the fireplace, and cut down a sheet of 12mm plywood to use for the inset surround. He used a hammer and cold chisel to bash out extra bricks, and then cut another couple pieces of plywood to lay flush at the base. He used hardwood framing timber and plywood, for durability. (The base of the fireplace had already been smashed clear through for heating hookups, possibly when the previous owners had a gas heater installed in the lounge. So that was convenient.) And then, the heat pump guys came around and installed the thing. This was the first time we’ve had to hire out work, and it was GLORIOUS. They turned up with plenty of tools and knowledge, got the job done in half a day, and then cleaned it all up afterwards. Fan-tastic. We just had to apply a couple of finishing touches: caulking the seams in the plywood surround, and then painting over it in charcoal stone-effect paint. (I used Dulux Tuscan Effects, the only brand that came in a sample-sized pot.) Now, as far as aesthetics and ambience go, a heat pump is not my #1, #2 or #3 choice. It’s not a cozy focal point, and frankly it’s kind of an eyesore. (Kinda wish they had a model in black.) Mid-century modest, indeed. These were our reasons for installing one: - A heat pump is 3-4x more energy efficient than a standard electric heater. No panel heaters ever again. Our Daikin model is meant to be decent, and bonus: it’s quiet. - We wanted a continuous heat source. This room is at the coldest aspect of our house, so it sits around 8-10º C on a winter’s day. We make a lot of use out of that room, though, so we keep the heat pump going during the day at a baseline of 13º (56º F) whenever we’re not in it and bump it up to 17-18º (64º) when we are. Having that higher baseline makes such a difference in comfort levels, let me tell you. (And as far as efficiency goes, running a low base temperature is roughly in line with constantly shutting it off and making it heat up the whole room again and again.) - The heat pump is also, of course, reversible, which means we can cool this room down and have ourselves a chilled retreat for the handful of hot days we get every year. (Usually fewer than ten over 30º C. I know, how adorable.) So yeah. Function > form. Cost wasn’t a factor so much. Jamie had earned a decent stipend from three weeks’ work in Papua New Guinea, so we had that earmarked for heating. Floor models are dearer than wall-mounted heat pumps (a $500 difference seemed to be standard) but the whole shebang, including installation, was well under $3K. We had thought it was going to be more expensive than that, so we were totally okay with that figure. It almost feels strange, not having this room be a total icebox. Almost. All the stuff on the mantel is freebie posters, thrifted goodies, or sentimental artifacts. Images of places in Australia (terrace houses on some street in Melbourne) and the western USA, posters from local creative events. The ‘let’s have a toast to modern art!’ print was from a letterpress classmate in art school. I admit that I’m not great at styling or vignetting, but I figure that a good place to start is with objects that mean something to you. The magazine holder to the right holds paper stock swatches and other sample products. The plant on the left is a group of fake fake fakey fake monstera leaves from Freedom. It’s a dark room, I’ll live with my tacky fake plant leaves. What do you think – is it a fireplace makeover success? Anything else I should know about a heat pump? And how do you feel about f-bombs and other swears on a blog? Because there’s a sneaky one pictured above. Check out the first stage of the fireplace makeover: Building the brick hearth.

I first got the idea for this drawing a year ago, in mid-December 2006. (That was two journal/sketchbooks ago!) Then, in early July of this year, I tried to sketch it out, but it was horrible. This morning I skipped painting class and worked on this instead, and this time the sketch worked. Then, after I got home and finished the book that made me feel human again (see previous entry), I completed all the pen and marker work. There are some grey swirls in the background of the main figure and corresponding talking heads that somehow didn’t scan, but otherwise, this JPG looks pretty much like it does on paper. I’m very pleased with it, and with Erik’s piece (see below).[I was referring to one of Erik’s compositions, but now I’m not sure which one; the link is broken.] [This post was imported on 4/10/14 from my old blog at satsumabug.livejournal.com.]

Safeguarding the healthy development of the next generation is vital for the long term success of the United Nation’s Millennium Development goals. New research in Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences highlights the need to integrate global strategies aimed at tackling nutrition and cognitive development within the first thousand days of childhood. “Global estimates by UNICEF reveal that over 165 million children below the age of five suffer from stunted growth,” said Professor Dr. Maureen Black from the University of Maryland School of Medicine and editor of the special issue. “Early stunting is an indicator which helps us estimate the number of children who do not reach their developmental potential.” Published via Online Access, the freely available special issue reveals how poverty, nutritional deficiencies, and a lack of responsive caregiving and learning opportunities combine to undermine childhood potential. The result is the estimated 200 million children in developing countries, under the age of five who are not reaching their developmental potential. Professor Black and Professor Kathryn Dewey, from the University of California-Davis, highlight the importance of combining intervention strategies which focus on both nutrition and early learning. They highlight several implementation recommendations detailed in the special issue, including: - Effects of integrated child development and nutrition interventions on child development and nutritional status By Sally M. Grantham-McGregor, Lia C. H. Fernald, Rose M. C. Kagawa and Susan Walker - Advantages and challenges of integration: opportunities for integrating early childhood development and nutrition programming By Ann M.

The new Jackie Chan film The Foreigner is about as standard as a Taken-riff gets. Chan plays a man whose family is affected by a terrorist organization, and who decides to shoot, explode and punch his way through said terrorists to find redemption. The formula worked in giving Liam Neeson a new lease of life as an ageing action hero, and it'll no doubt give Jackie a little boost in his career with audiences happy to see the martial arts star back kicking ass on-screen. Really, it's a no-lose situation for everyone involved. Quite unlike Taken, however, is the political backdrop The Foreigner draws upon. While the characters are mostly pastiche typical of the genre, that doesn't change the fact that the film holds the rare of distinction of using Irish paramilitary organization the IRA (Irish Republican Army) as its villains. Not only that, but Pierce Brosnan's Hennessy, the main antagonist, holds a strong likeness to that of Gerry Adams, the leader of Ireland's Sinn Féin party, who has a history with the IRA. Indeed, the resemblance is so striking and shameless that the first trailer for the film went viral on Irish social media, many lauding the idea of Adams and Chan having a fight. It was even taken for granted Chan's adversaries would turn out to be the IRA, even though said reveal was kept out of the first teaser. Incidental comedy aside, with all of this there's potential for The Foreigner to be quite prescient. As the film is set in London, using Irish terrorists is already stoking some deep ire between the two countries. Ireland was under the rule of the English for centuries, during which time Irish culture (including the native language) was irreparably suppressed. In 1916, the Easter Rising kicked off an armed rebellion on English rule that eventually saw the beginning of a set of negotiations that would grant Ireland independence and create the Republic of Ireland. The civil war was a tumultuous time across the isle, as seen in the two movies Michael Collins, following the Irish politician of the same name who led the rising, and The Wind That Shakes The Barley, which dramatises how the rising affected parts of the country outside of Dublin. The transition of Ireland to republic status wasn't without complications and a major one was that England would hold onto six counties in the north, creating a separate state still governed as part of the British Isles; Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland would follow whatever way the British decided on various issues, including the adoption of the Euro. As you might imagine, the republican forces that drove the insurgency against British political leadership in Ireland weren't too happy about this, and so over the course of the decades that followed the IRA evolved from freedom fighters to, well, terrorists. In a period dubbed 'The Troubles,' republicans and a counter-movement called unionists (people who want to keep the British connection) engaged in extended conflict. Bombings and shootings became relatively commonplace as the two ideologies fought, each deeply entrenched in their beliefs, until the Northern Ireland peace process created the Good Friday Agreement in 1998. From then a slow, steady ceasefire started, ending the Troubles in 2007 with the IRA stating they were decommissioning their weapons and firearms. Arguably the most recognisable name of The Troubles is Bobby Sands, a republican fighter who famously died while on hunger strike in HM Prison Maze in Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland. Sands' story was committed to screen in Hunger, starring Michael Fassbender, in 2008. During all of this, beginning in the late sixties, Gerry Adams became involved with the political dissonance of the north and the IRA. Starting as a civil rights campaigner, Adams gradually rose to the ranks to become the leader of Sinn Féin, Ireland's largest left-leaning political party. Splitting his time between north and south, Adams has represented Sinn Féin in both Dublin and Belfast at various points in his career. And if you were to ask him, all of that has been above board politicking without any kind of involvement in the illicit activities of the IRA. Other historians and politicians involved in Belfast tell a different story. It is widely believed that Adams was quite an active member of the republican army, to the point of association in high-level killings. He was arrested in 2014 for questioning on the murder of Jean McConville in 1972, a woman who was killed for allegedly providing information on the IRA to British intelligence. He was acquitted and has repeatedly denied all involvement with the group, but nobody really believes him. His constant denial has itself become memetic in Irish culture - impressions of his northern accent professing that he's not a member of the IRA a very commonly used refrain to laugh off the difficult political history Ireland continues to breed. Which brings us to The Foreigner, a movie about the IRA bombing London released right in the middle of the fallout of Britain's controversial and democratically elected decision to leave the European Union. This is a move that has left Northern Ireland's political future in a very unknown and worrying state, with the prospects of staying with Britain or rejoining Ireland both presenting great difficulty. The book the film is based on - The Chinaman, written by Stephen Leather - was released in 1992, so the novel came out before the Northern Ireland peace process had even begun. The Troubles, at that stage, still seemed unending, and the IRA were ripe for use as an amorphous organization out to wreak havoc. As it's now 2017 and Northern Ireland's unsteady foundations are set to be tested by uncertain times for Ireland and Britain all, The Foreigner looks a little less like a flippant thriller and more like a worst-case-scenario warning. Well, minus Gerry Adams fighting a martial arts expert, perhaps that's what's been needed this entire time. - The Foreigner (2017) release date: Oct 13, 2017

A highway billboard in my community has posted an ad from a beer company that says “Give a D**n”. The ad is intended to discourage drunk driving. I’ll have to admit that ads from beer companies that discourage people from drinking and driving always seem disingenuous to me. It would be different if they didn’t distribute their products to places where people are almost certain to get in their vehicles after drinking. But that’s just my opinion and this isn’t just a devotion about excessive drinking. It’s about caring. I believe the phrase in question is intended to suggest there is something about which someone cares so little they aren’t even willing to put it in the category of things that have meaning. If there’s something about which I don’t “give a d**n”. it is considered to be so meaningless it’s not even worth thinking about. This means someone who doesn’t “give a d**n” about anything is someone who doesn’t have anything in his or her life worth caring about. Their behavior demonstrates they don’t care about themselves or others. But I would suggest this claim is largely bogus. People who live as if they don’t care about anything usually do care about their own desires. It isn’t that they don’t care about anything but rather that they only care about one thing. That one thing is whatever they want at the moment for themselves. Maybe the beer sign should say “give a d**n about somebody other than yourself.” But then that would suggest the person reading it is selfish which would possibly lead them to reject the message. The message intended is that the reader should “give a d**n” about the consequences of drinking and driving. Seriously I’m fine with that. I don’t like seeing it conveyed on a billboard that children can read but I get it. I merely think it would be healthy to consider other areas of our lives that are impacted by selfish behavior. I will use the billboard slogan as an example of how we compartmentalize our lives to justify our actions. Just so you know – I don’t believe drinking alcohol is a sin. I think there may also be circumstances where alcohol might be the best remedy for a medical condition. I guess I just wish more people really did “give a d**n”. That they would think about the short and long-term effect their actions have on others as well as themselves. In my line of work I see the devastation caused by addiction and the delusion of believing things are good as long as someone doesn’t turn a motor vehicle into an instrument of death. But what if we broadened our scope a bit? Why not “give a d**n” about the impact excessive drinking has on our children? “Give a d**n” that our family’s resources are being used for six packs instead of college funds. “Give a d**n” that alcohol abuse lurks behind many marital infidelities and break ups. And perhaps we could “give a d**n” about those in our lives who are struggling with chemical abuse or trying to rehabilitate and reenter society after their lives have been ruined by the same. Every now and then I just get tired of seeing people suffer because someone else has determined a serious problem isn’t really that big of a deal. Or they disregard a weakness others might have and tempt people they say they care about to do things that are harmful. Absolutely, don’t drink and drive! Just don’t think drinking before you get behind the wheel of a car is the only way you can kill someone. Sometimes death occurs slowly, such as with a relationship that slowly withers because we loved a chemical more than the important people in our lives. You can disagree with me if you want. But frankly my dear…

October 2018 Porsche USA sales numbers are in: Porsche Cars North America (PCNA) reports retail sales of 4,817 automobiles. These figures translate to a 2.2 percent increase year-over-year — an all-time record for the month of October. Total sales for the first 10 months of 2018 were 47,443 units. This amounts to a 3.2 percent increase, compared to the same timeframe last year. “Porsche is having an exciting year as we find new ways to connect with customers,” announced Klaus Zellmer, President and CEO of PCNA. Three Porsche model lines drove the October surge. Chief among them was the Porsche 911. The brand’s iconic 911 spearheaded the charge with increased sales of 14.2 percent year-over-year. The runner-up Macan increased its sales by 9.9 percent. The new-generation Cayenne rounded out the “podium” with an increase of 1.1 percent. Mr. Zellmer goes on to say, “Whether it is the powerful new Cayenne or the expanded selection of enthusiast-focused 911 variants, we are thrilled that more drivers and their families want to add a Porsche crest to their lives.” Yet another way for buyers to connect with Porsche and park a Porsche crest in their garages is the Porsche Approved Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program. Also in the USA in October, Porsche Approved CPO sales added up to 1,715 vehicles, and yet another increase, this time at 3.5 percent year-over-year. © 2018-2019 Copyright StuttgartDNA.com.

Too Much Comedy Sours Robert Patrick Home Invasion Flick The comedy thriller Tone-Deaf held its world premiere this month at SXSW, and it left me walking away with mixed feelings. Directed by Richard Bates Jr., there was a lot of potential this movie had to offer. Bates Jr. has previously made a name for himself with movies like Excision and Trash Fire, and the rising filmmaker will likely bring us many more interesting and unique movies in the years ahead. While Tone-Deaf has many of its own memorable moments, however, it’s safe to say it won’t be considered by many to be Bates Jr.’s best work. In Tone-Deaf, millennial Olive (Amanda Crew, The Haunting in Connecticut) decides to take a vacation for herself by renting a weekend stay in a rural mansion, far away from her city life troubles. Unfortunately, she doesn’t realize the widowed homeowner Harvey (Robert Patrick) is suffering from dementia, resulting in a homicidal psychosis. Determined to see what it feels like to kill someone, Harvey rents out his mansion to Olive with plans to sneak in later for a calculated murder. Leading up to that moment, however, Harvey gets some practice along the way. Interspersed throughout different scenes in the movie are moments where Harvey breaks the fourth wall, staring directly into the camera. Each time he does this, Harvey gets a bit political with scathing rants about millennials, and how someone who represents them all, like Olive, deserves what he’s going to give. Because the dialogue is so amusing, these scenes prove to be effective. Patrick’s excellent performance also keeps the character menacing, in spite of the comedic quips he might be spouting about today’s youth in these scenes. These moments also do not detract from the story, as these thoughts seem to be legitimately what’s going through the Harvey character’s head. By the time Olivie becomes aware of Harvey’s sinister plans, the movie starts to fall apart. Even when faced with imminent danger and even suffering from painful injuries, none of the characters seem to take the situation very seriously. As a viewer, you may be left unable to care whether Olive or other potential victims live or die, considering the characters themselves don’t care either. It all feels very meta, much in the same way Harvey had addressed the camera when delivering his earlier monologues. Oddly, while that strangely made sense for Harvey and even added to the movie in a positive way, having so many other characters breaking the fourth wall was absolute overkill. It leaves very little room for any actual suspense or feelings of dread, as it completely takes away any suspension of disbelief for the viewer. While the movie is not without its flaws, there’s still plenty about Tone-Deaf for viewers to appreciate. Ray Santiago and Ray Wise were both hilarious in their limited roles, with a monologue from the latter serving as the best part of the movie. Other aspects, such as the acting and cinematography, are also top notch, and it’s safe to say the movie isn’t quite like anything else you’ve ever seen. It just feels that, ultimately, the movie just doesn’t quite live up to its full potential. Some things work pretty well while others really don’t at all, and it’s likely to leave you with mixed feelings at the end. Watch it for a few laughs, but don’t expect perfection. You can catch the movie when Tone-Deaf is released by Saban Films in limited theaters on Aug. 23, 2019.

If your college student is taking a car back to school, it’s time to have it checked out by the New Orleans auto care specialists at Twin Tire. Summer might not be officially over until Sept. 23, but any family with school age children knows the true end of summer is the day the kids go back to school. That’s going to happen this week for most New Orleans kids. Also going back to school soon are the kids who are headed to colleges, universities and tech schools. If they’re going away from home for the first time, parents are feeling a special kind of bitter sweetness and stress. If you’re letting your college-bound student take a car, then that adds another level of stress. The non-profit Car Care Council says that stress can be reduced with a four-step plan: “Get a sendoff vehicle inspection: College is a busy time for students and it is likely that car care at college will not be top of mind. Be sure to schedule a thorough vehicle inspection before packing up the car so you can rest easy knowing your child is driving a road-ready vehicle. “Make an emergency plan: Discuss a plan with your child in case they experience a roadside emergency. Be sure they know who to contact for roadside assistance and stock the car with an emergency kit, including jumper cables, emergency flares, a flashlight with batteries, blankets and extra clothes, water and non-perishable snacks, a first aid kit, a portable USB charger and a fully charged cell phone. To be prepared for inclement weather, include an ice scraper, a snow brush and small shovel. “Hit the books: Encourage your child to learn about auto care by reviewing the Car Care Council’s online Car Care Guide and becoming familiar with the owner’s manual. … “Stay on schedule” when it comes to maintenance. If you’re looking for a trustworthy New Orleans auto care technician to make sure your student’s car is roadworthy, look no further than the New Orleans auto care experts at Twin Tire Auto Care. Twin Tire has been the trusted New Orleans auto care and auto repair service center since 1973.

With the 2017 Manchester Open just a few days away, Gregge Madan looks at the varied backgammon scene in and around Manchester: Not only is Manchester famous for a rich musical history rocking on from Herman’s Hermits, the Hollies through 10cc, Joy Division, cruising through Oasis and James and ending up at Stone Roses. Now it is also becoming famous for ROLLING – backgammon rolling. There has been an accelerated growth in backgammon within Manchester and surrounds and this is epitomised through not only greater numbers playing but also the fact that many of the country’s top players are from the area. Something for Everyone We are lucky enough to enjoy a number of different formats and tournaments catering for all levels. Ranging from the social nature of Jackgammon, ideal for new players, through to the highly competitive monthly 11 point tournaments. Not only that, but a large amount of players from the area play in the North West Backgammon League, now in its 7th season with 5 divisions. We now have: - The North West League played in six monthly chunks and with 37 players - The Manchester monthly 11 point, consolation and last chance tournament with average of 30 players - Manchester weekly club nights with average of 18 players - Jackgammon weekly nights with average of 8-10 players. I hope you enjoy reading a little about the history of some of our formats which have flourished through the excellent stewardship of Rodney Lighton, Kevin Jones, Irving Czechowicz and Lee Gorton. Manchester Backgammon Club In 1999 Kevin Stebbing played snooker at the Moor Club in Stockport. A keen backgammon player, he found a few friends who played (notably the Shimwell family, Ian is our only founder member) and started the Manchester Backgammon Club which met once a month. In 2002 Kevin departed to York, saying “Rodney, you’re in charge now!”. The “committee” of Rodney Lighton and Irving Czechowicz set about improving the club. Rodney set up a web site which helped to recruit more members. Gradually the number of meetings was increased, mainly due to Irving’s enthusiasm, first to twice a month and then to every Tuesday. We experimented with various tournament formats, many invented by Irving, most vetoed by Rodney. Eventually we hit upon the current method of running eight player knockouts most Tuesdays and a one point all-play-all tournament once a month, which has been used since 2008. In 2003 the annual Manchester One Day tournament was started and has proved popular ever since, maybe due to the quality of the food rather than the backgammon. It has sold out most years recently. An annual club championship and the annual 11 point knock out were started in 2004. Irving inaugurated Saturday tournaments once a month in 2008. In the last few years Kevin Jones has taken over the running of the Tuesday and Saturday events for which Rodney and Irving are grateful. Over the years several hundred players have played at the club, some regularly, others occasionally, but on average about 15 people turn up each Tuesday to moan about their bad luck or gloat when they win and the Saturday events are popular, often full. Jackgammon – How, why, what, where, when Top class backgammon player, retired troubadour and current entrepreneur, Lee Gorton decided to throw a games night at his bar, Jackalope, some four years ago. An evening of games such as Ticket to Ride, Shut the Box and BACKGAMMON were played in a warm, friendly atmosphere. Other games were quickly discarded and we were left with that one with checkers and dice…resulting in the birth of JACKGAMMON. People played what they wanted, with or without cube, 1 point through to 5 points and if you wanted a break to have a drink or a chat then you could always come back. The format encouraged new players and was sociable backgammon with a competitive element. You could decide how sociable you wanted to be! The King of Formats He came along, a seasoned backgammon player over many years with a tremendous capacity to connect with people and bring something into the room and the conversation every time he spoke. Yes, even when talking about Leyton Orient. Irving Czechowicz and his compendium of formats brought an array of interesting new ideas that found a natural home at Jackgammon – just a few include: - Trapdoor – where everyone wins at least one game - The Chip Format – each person has 5 chips and you choose who you want to play and eventually the person winning all the chips scoops the pool - Backgammon Bingo – where everyone gets the same rolls in all the games and whoever wins out takes the pot Jackgammon has an average age of around 30, thus bringing new people into the game but has also entered teams onto the Club Championships and reached the semi-final. Various hostelries in Chorlton such as Jackalope, the Beech, Odders Bar and the Beech again have played host each Monday night. One really nice outcome has been the crossover between those playing socially in Chorlton on Mondays and those playing in the Manchester club evenings in Heaton Moor on the Tuesday. The “Manchester Monthly” The Manchester monthly tournaments were started by Irving Czechowicz in 2008 and little did any of us know a decade ago, how popular backgammon would become both in Manchester and the wider north-west. Irv’s unique Saturday events, combined with his enthusiasm, played a significant part in the growth of backgammon in the region. There was a change of organiser in 2014, with Irv taking a well-earned rest and Kev Jones taking over the reins. Back in the early days an auction was held with the 8 highest bidders getting a place in the main 11-point tournament, and the remainder playing in a secondary event. With the ever increasing attendances in recent years, the tournament became a straight KO with a maximum 32 player entry, separate consolation and last chance events being held each month. The average attendance for 2017 is currently a very healthy 28. Over the years, 154 different players have arrived at the Moor Club in a leafy Cheshire suburb close to Stockport and Manchester, with the hope that the dice gods will smile on them. Of those 154 players, a mere 28 players have emerged victorious, of course some are multiple winners. Mark Calderbank deserves a special mention as he has played the most games, won the most matches, has a terrific win percentage, and has also won the most events. In 2014, the Wright brothers (Arthur and John), together with Mark Calderbank and Kev Jones, devised the North West League with the intention of providing an additional opportunity for people of all levels to play backgammon alongside the well-established clubs/events in the north-west region. This competition loosely covers the M62 corridor (Leeds / Liverpool / Manchester). The first season started with 25 players and has grown steadily with 37 players now competing in season 7. Since 2015 the league has been invited to enter players into Richard Biddle’s annual UK Champions League tournament. For the last two years the league has sent a team to the UKBGF Club Championship, finishing runners-up in their first attempt. We’ll gloss over their second attempt in 2017! In 2015, Kev and Steve Lee (the Bradford monthly tournament organiser), launched a combined Pennine Trophy with the intention of encouraging play at both Manchester and Bradford monthly events. This unusual Lancashire/Yorkshire alliance has proved to be very successful with player numbers increasing on both sides of the Pennines. Both tournaments host popular Christmas events, as well as quarterly bonus tournaments and raffles to reward the most regular players. New players of all abilities are always welcome to join us. Our “regulars” range from beginners through to UK Champions (past and present). If you’re interested in finding out more then check out our websites:

Amaad Rivera is not exactly receiving a universally warm welcome as he gets ready to join the Springfield City Council. Rivera will be sworn in to the Ward 6 seat at the first Council meeting of the new session, on Jan. 3. He’ll replace Keith Wright, who resigned from the seat mid-term to spend more time with his infant son, who was born prematurely this summer and continues to have special health needs. In cases of a mid-term resignation, the empty seat goes to the person who finished in second place for the seat—in this case, Rivera. In this morning’s Springfield Republican, reporter Pete Goonan writes about what he calls “continuing questions raised about [Rivera’s] residency and eligibility to serve on the council.” According to Goonan, city election officials have been contacted by a number of people questioning whether Rivera actually lives in the ward, and therefore is eligible to hold the seat. The questions appear to be sparked, in part, by the fact that Rivera is a full-time graduate student at Brandeis University, in Waltham—about 80 miles, or 90 minutes, down the MassPike. Among those raising the question was at-large Councilor Tim Rooke, who told the Republican, “It’s called due diligence to protect the integrity of the entire City Council.” Gladys Oyola, the city’s new election secretary, and City Solicitor Ed Pikula have both confirmed that Rivera lives in Ward 6. The questions about Rivera’s residency appear to be just part of larger criticisms, from some Ward 6 residents, about whether the newest councilor is, in fact, connected to the neighborhood and its concerns. Ward seats were added to the City Council with the 2009 election, after years of activism by residents who argued that ward councilors would be more responsive to neighborhood concerns than at-large councilors, and that the new system would bring direct representation to neighborhoods that rarely, if ever, see one of their residents elected to the Council. While some of the inaugural ward races were disappointingly anemic, the race in Ward 6 was lively and, at times, heated. Wright, the eventual winner, largely enjoyed the support of the strong network of neighborhood activists in the Forest Park area. Rivera drew much of his support from social-justice groups and labor unions; among the organizations endorsing his campaign were ¿Oiste?, a Latino political activist group based in Boston; the Gay and Lesbian Labor Activist Network, or GALLAN, also based in Boston; and labor groups including the Pioneer Valley Central Labor Council, UAW 2322, the New England Regional Council of Carpenters, and SEIU 1199. Supporters of Rivera pointed to his base of support as evidence of his concern for issues of social justice, equality, and workers’ rights. Others, however, were left uneasy to see a candidate for ward councilor—whose first responsibility, by definition, is to the neighborhood that elected him—receive so much support from outside Ward 6 and, indeed, outside Springfield. Wright won that election with 1,444 votes to Rivera’s 1,292. To find out more about Rivera’s vision for the city, check out his website, or his responses to a detailed candidate questionnaire distributed by the Forest Park Civic Association during the 2009 election. Postscript: After posting this article, I got a message from Amaad Rivera questioning, fairly, the fairness of describing GALLAN and ¿Oiste? as Boston-based groups. While both organizations are headquartered in Boston, they have active arms in western Mass.; indeed, it should be noted that, locally, ¿Oiste? was active in the campaign to bring ward representation to the Springfield City Council in the first place.

Hey guys – Amy Stark – innovator of the #indiana Twitter trend movement of December 10, 2009 and the founder of the Indiana Social Media Summit – just talked to a few of us on the prospect of developing one unifying Twitter HashTag for Indiana social media movements. I’m a fan. The topic needs further discussion and, once again, Amy’s picked up the reigns. It’s not that state hasn’t been using them. And when I say “the state,” I mean “Indianapolis.” Not that the boys in Indy are being exclusive so much as they outreached hadn’t reached the rest of the state when they started. Right now, they use #si for social media / SmallerIndiana things, #Indy for all things Indianapolis, & #indiana for things referring to the state. The trick to hashtags is to try and pick things that won’t get a lot of crosstalk. 1) Take #si for example. Not only is there a famous magazine that uses those initials – Sports Illustrated – but there’s a Romantic Language who’s a fan of those two letters. Take a look: Kinda the same problem Chevy had when they introduced the Nova to Mexico in the 70’s and 80’s. Same thing: NO GO! Once again, in quick defense of the Indy boys, Twitter wasn’t as popular in Spanish speaking countries when they started using it. I’ve asked them about it, but the topic doesn’t get much traction. 2) #indy is cool, but that’s pretty Indianapolis-centric and Amy’s looking for something about Indiana Social Media. I’d just as soon leave this one alone and let it fulfill its primary purpose. 3) #indiana gets traffic but is pretty broad. Plus every time Indiana Jones, Indiana Pacers, or anything Indiana University comes out – or Indiana State, Southern Indiana, the traffic dilutes 4) Now they used #in_sm for the Indiana Social Media Summit and that’s cool. It’s targeted, understood, and gets traffic. Some might bark cross Why use #in_sm when you could use #INsm . The latter is one less character, and when you only get 140 characters. But then a search for #insm reveals why there’s an underscore. Damn Germans 😛 So after frittering around the rabbit hole, I’m all a fan for #in_sm. I’ve tested it and can’t think of anything better.

Some parents severely reprimand their children over things while others are so lenient when children do something wrong that children lose their sense of right and wrong. Both ways have a very bad effect on the upbringing of children. Too much strictness and repetitive rebuking turn children rebellious and they even stop caring about what is right. Unnecessary indulgence also has a negative effect on children, especially adolescents. It is mostly the attitude of fathers that make matters worse. Children of such age need to be explained things with reasoning, especially in this day and age when they are not just influenced by what is around them but are susceptible to influences on not just national but international level. In such conditions fathers need to take particular care to see when should children be dealt with strictly and where gentle dealing is required. This responsibility is that of fathers and it should not be left to mothers alone to handle this matter. Relating the way the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) morally trained children, Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) said that God has created different animals for different purposes. Some are beautiful to look at, some have beautiful voices while others are for eating. One does not have to eat all animals that are halal (permissible). By way of example he explained that it is possible an animal eats harmful insects and as a result the flesh of such an animal, in spite of being halal and wholesome, would not be beneficial for humankind. He recalled a lesson taught to him in his childhood. He hunted a parrot and brought it home. The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said, Mahmood, eating of its flesh is not forbidden but every animal is not for [human] consumption. He explained that some animals are pleasing to look at while others have fine voices which are pleasurable to listen. Thus different animals please different senses and all animals should not be used simply for the sense of taste. Parrots are beautiful and look so fine sitting atop trees. Children are inspired when explained in such charming manner and it also instils in them the Divine commandment that while what is halal and wholesome can be eaten but this should be done with due care. And the signification of wholesome can vary. Animals and birds which are beneficial in other ways may not remain wholesome in spite of being halal, because their greater advantage lies elsewhere. Regarding removing harmful innovations, Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) had his photographs taken. However, when a post card was presented to him which had his photo on it, he said that could not be allowed. He instructed no one should purchase those cards. As a result no one dared to repeat this. Hazrat Khalifatul Maish V said the following: 'These days however, I have noticed on Twitter and Whatsapp that some people are trying to circulate that old post card. They have either acquired it from an elder, or purchased it from a shop that sells old books. This is wrong and should be stopped. The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) had his photograph taken so that people of far-off places, especially Europeans who can judge characters from facial characteristics, would see it and it would lead them to seek truth. However, when the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) saw that people may turn this into a business and sell his photograph on postcards, when he felt this may become a source of harmful innovation he strictly forbade it. In some instances he asked for the postcards to be destroyed. People who have businesses selling photographs and charge exorbitant prices should pay attention to the matter. Some colourise photographs of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) although no colour photograph of his exists. This is completely wrong and should also be avoided. Also, incorrect use of photographs of Khulafa should be avoided.' Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) said it is not correct to say that cinema and phonograph in themselves were something bad. Indeed, the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) even wrote a poem on the subject of phonograph. Thus, cinema in itself is not bad but these days what is projected through it is not moral. There is nothing wrong with a film which has tabligh and educational aspects and has no element of posturing or fanfare. He said fanfare etc. is wrong even when used for tabligh purposes. Hazrat Khalifatul Masih V said that this should clarify matters to those who suggest that it is all right if some music is used in MTA programmes or it is all right if there is some music on Voice of Islam radio, which has just started. The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) had come to stop these harmful innovations and we have to mould our thoughts in accordance. It is not forbidden to take advantage of new inventions but their wrong use makes them harmful. Some people are of the view that tabligh and tarbiyyat matters should be presented in dramatised manner. It should always be remembered if we introduce something wrong, a hundred harmful innovations will find their way in after some time. A non-Ahmadi wrote in a newspaper something amusing which also reveals the ignorance of a maulawi. He wrote that a maulawi was swinging along to the singing of an Arab female singer. He also kept saying SubhanAllah and MashaAllah. When someone asked him why he was swinging along so much, he replied, can you not see how beautifully she is reciting the Qur'an! This is how thoughts alter with the spread of harmful innovations. Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) said that doctors, especially Indian doctors think that they do not need to consult anyone and can treat patients on their own. He said 99% of Indian doctors would consider it insulting to consult another. He said Dr Hashmat Ullah Sahib was a better doctor than the rest but this did not mean he did not need to consult. He said it was the practice of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) which he had also followed, to take medication from a doctor as well as a native physician. Sometimes ordinary herbal treatments work better than treatments of regular physicians. Some people have certain formula of herbal treatment which works very well. Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) related that Syed Ahmad Noor Sahib had a wound on his nose which did not get better in spite of various treatments. Eventually he travelled to Peshawar and saw a barber who gave him a medicine which cured his wound after three days' application. There are many such skilled people around whose skills should be fostered. Instead these people are not patronised. Professional barbers and wrestlers could treat complaints regarding bones and old aches and pains. These skills should be learned and spread but people do not share their 'trade' secrets and they thus die out. Europeans on the other hand disseminate their skills. The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) used to relate that a barber had knowledge of an ointment which cured complicated wounds. His son used to ask him for the recipe of the ointment saying that two people should have knowledge of it but the barber refused to share the secret formula. When he was old and fell seriously ill his son asked him again. The barber said, so you think I am about to die and will divulge the secret? But what if I get better! He did not share the secret with his son and took it to his grave. Not sharing in such matters becomes a source of disgrace not progress. Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) had received many revelations regarding the earthquake of 4 April 1905 and in respect of word of God the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) moved into his garden. Some foolish people said that the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) had moved to the garden out of fear of the plague which was spread in those days. It is astonishing that even some Ahmadis held this view although the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) did not ever leave his home because of the plague. He had been receiving many revelations about earthquake at that time so he deemed it right to move to his garden for some time. And he asked his friends to also stay there. As it was all done rather quickly some people stayed in tents while others put mats on top of bricks and made huts. Recalling the time when the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) delivered his Revealed Sermon, Hazrat Musleh Maud said this was when God told the Promised Messiah that his Eid sermon was going to be in Arabic and he would be given the knowledge for it. He had indeed never formally spoken in Arabic before. Hazrat Musleh Maud says he was a child at the time so he did not understand the sermon at all but he recalled listening to the entire sermon intently owing to the highly spiritual state of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace). Once people were not sure about the mosque with reference to the poster of the Revealed Sermon, so Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) had the poster brought to him and after reading it he explained that the reference in the poster was to Masjid Mubarak which the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) had built. He then related that once Hazrat Ummul Momineen fell ill and was unwell for nearly forty days. Hazrat Musleh Maud decided to try administrating medicine to Hazrat Amman Jan in the mosque as there was a revelation regarding it. Two days after this was carried out, Hazrat Amman Jan felt better! Hazrat Musleh Maud advised doctors to be of service to faith. He said people who are ailing are influenced that much quicker by truth. When a doctor asked the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) how could he serve faith, he was told to do tabligh to his patients as patients have soft hearts! These days the issue of purdah is raised in the West a lot. Either with reference to women's rights, or extremism or in general criticism of Islam. God states in the Holy Qur'an about covering up: '…except that which is apparent thereof…' (24:32) Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) said this means that aspect of body which is evident anyhow and which cannot be hidden, for example one's height or when one has to let doctor examine part of one's body. The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) used to say that it is possible that a doctor tells a woman that covering her face is detrimental to her health and that she should go out and about. In such an instance it is warrantable for the woman to leave her face uncovered and go out and about. The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) also said that if there is critical need for a male doctor to deliver a woman's baby it should be done. Denying this facility and dying in the process is tantamount to committing suicide in God's sight. Also, farming women work in fields with their families. All this is included in: '…except that which is apparent thereof…'. Once the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) remarked that if man acted with righteousness he may marry one hundred times. Following this it became known that according to the creed of the Promised Messiah the commandment was not for up to four marriages but one could marry as many times as one wanted. The matter was taken before the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) who explained that what he had said meant that if a man's wife died or he got divorced he can re-marry. In some religions one cannot re-marry at all and the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) had explained matters with that perspective. Had his words remained unexplained a short time later it may have been accepted that one could to marry as many times as possible so long as one abided by righteousness! In those early days the Jama'at was small and when members got together such issues were keenly discussed. Once Hazrat Khalifatul Masih I (may Allah be pleased with him) said that marrying up to just four wives was not proven from Shariah. He quoted a Tradition of Abu Dawood that Hazrat Imam Hassan had had eighteen or nineteen nikahs. It was decided to send the matter before the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace). Someone went to the Promised Messiah with the book quoting the Tradition, very eager and enthusiastic and upon asking told Hazrat Musleh Maud where he was going. Hazrat Musleh Maud decided to wait for his return and the answer. As he returned his demeanour had changed and his head was bowed. In response the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) had said to ask Maulawi Sahib where the Tradition said that Imam Hassan had all those wives concurrently! Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) said that call of people has no significance compared to the call of the Imam. It is obligatory that the moment believers hear the words of Prophet of God they promptly respond and hasten to put in practice what he has said. Even if one is offering Salat at such a time, one should break one's Salat and respond to Prophet of God. With the grace of God such examples can be found in our Jama'at. Once Hazrat Khalifatul Masih I (may Allah be pleased with him) did this and presented himself before the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) and a couple of other companions also did the same at other times. When someone objected to this, the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) quote the following Quranic verse: 'Treat not the calling of the Messenger among you like the calling of one of you to another. Allah does know those of you who steal away covertly. So let those who go against His command beware lest a trial afflict them or a grievous punishment overtake them.' (24:64) There is also the verse: 'O ye who believe! Respond to Allah, and the Messenger when he calls you that he may give you life…' (8:25) Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) said this practice is a great sign among signs of faith. He said a believer is in fact not in want of too much persuasion to obey and for him a single gesture is enough. And people consider those whose belief is perfect as crazy. A companion of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) Maulawi Yaar Muhammad Sahib had such devotion towards the Promised Messiah and so intense was his love and devotion that by its virtue he imagined that he was the promised son and the promised reformer. When the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) spoke in a spirited manner he used to move his hands in a manner which was similar to when beckoning someone. On one such occasion Maulawi Yaar Sahib leapt and went to sit next to the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace). Later, someone asked him why he did that and his answer was that the Promised Messiah had gestured him to come over. His obsessive devotion remained positive and did not take on any negative aspect. Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) said that at a time the Wahhabi sect believed that Friday Prayers could be offered in India but the Hanafi sect believed it could not. They believed Friday Prayers could only be offered when the governance of the country was in Muslim hands and at the time the British ruled India. They did realise what the Qur'an says about offering Friday Prayers so they were not quite satisfied with the situation. Therefore some people offered Friday Prayer on Fridays and then offered Zuhr Salat so that they could cover both aspects. They used to term Zuhr Salat as something which may be translated as 'precautionary'. Their explanation was that if God did not accept their Friday Prayers they would present the precautionary Prayers to Him and vice versa. The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said that once he was travelling to Gurdaspur on a Friday and it was Prayer time, so he went to a mosque to offer Prayers. Maulawi Ghulam Ali who accompanied him was a staunch Wahhabi. They both offered Friday Prayers and then Maulawi Ghulam Ali proceeded to offer four further units of Prayers. Upon asking he told the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) that as a Wahhabi he had not offered the four extra units in fear lest his Friday Prayers were accepted or not, but had offered them out of fear of people! Someone once said to the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) that people of our Jama'at shave their beards. The Promised Messiah replied the main thing is love of God. When these people have real love of God in them they will truly follow us! Next, funeral Prayer in absentia of Abdul Noor Jabi Sahib of Syria was announced. He was born in 1989. In December 2013 someone borrowed his phone to make a call. Jabi Sahib was arrested as a result of this call because the person who had borrowed his call was a Syrian rebel who had discussed some financial transaction with co-rebels. The Syrian government tortured Jabi Sahib and martyred him on the third day of arrest. Prayers should be said for the situation in Syria. State persecution gave rise to rebels and now they exceed each the in oppression and cruelty and there is the third group Daesh which is perpetrating barbarity in the name of Islam. May God have mercy and rid the country of the unjust! The Jumu'ah (Friday) prayer is one form of congregational worship in Islam. It takes place every Friday. Regular attendance at the Jumu'ah prayer is enjoined on the believer. According to a Saying of Muhammad(sa) this congregational prayer is twenty-five times more blessed than worship performed alone. (Bukhari) “O ye who believe! When the call is made for Prayer on Friday, hasten to the remembrance of Allah, and leave off all business. That is best for you, if you only knew.” more “… (He who) offers the Prayers and listens quitely when the Imam stands up for sermon, will have his sins forgiven between that Friday and the next” (Bukhari)

FAQs on the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act (FIRRMA) and the CFIUS Pilot Program Investment funds face new challenges under the regulations now governing procedures of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) with respect to transactions involving the investment by a foreign or foreign-controlled person in a US business dealing with one or more "critical technologies." Even where such transactions do not provide the foreign or foreign-controlled investor with control over such a US business, the investment fund may have to file a "declaration" with CFIUS at least 45 days before the transaction's planned closing—or face penalties up to the value of the transaction. The linked Frequently Asked Questions provide guidance on identifying which transactions trigger a filing requirement, how to determine the optimal form of such a filing, and what to expect when CFIUS reviews the filing. Failing to understand the details of these procedures can expose an investment fund to significant risk.

Children who are HIV-positive or who live in households affected by HIV are often vulnerable, with decreased access to education and early childhood development services, inadequate nutrition, and less access to quality health care. In Uganda, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has funded the “Sustainable, Comprehensive Responses for Vulnerable Children and Their Families” (SCORE) activity to develop household-specific plans to improve children’s lives. The family plans feature a menu of services to address children’s needs, with the goal of “graduating” the household from requiring program support. MEASURE Evaluation has conducted a performance evaluation of the program (which is led by the AVSI Foundation, with subawards to CARE International, FHI 360, and TPO Uganda). The evaluation, led by a research team at Palladium, discovered that program partners and participants report a variety of good outcomes for families and children—outcomes worth celebrating on this Day of the African Child (June 16). People whose families are benefitting from the SCORE program reported positive changes in their households. We include here a sample of beneficiary comments, one example taken from six of the program categories for assistance. “[The] SCORE program has provided [me with] the opportunity to join a savings scheme. I go there and get a loan, which I do not spend in any way. I plan well for it. For example, I can buy a chicken and put it at home. And then, the remaining amount of money I can use to pay school fees for my children. This chicken will now produce; and they will multiply; and I will return the profits back to pay up the loan. So, my income has changed in that way.” Food Security and Nutrition “I have two gardens. The first one is for home use and the second one is for business where I grow simsim cereals and ground nuts. These gardens are highly valued and treasured in my household, because the food crops I grow there are important for food security and [selling]. You know, being a widow is a challenge, because you are the sole bread winner. I use the money to support my children in school…” “We had a training on parenting, and we learned how to handle children in a proper way. Children do not want to be shouted at or be beaten up. You are supposed to show love to your children, though this love is not supposed to be too much to the extent of being permissive. If a child makes a mistake, we are supposed to call them and ask them why they did what they did. But, if we threaten them and shout at them, they will even fear to tell us why… So, I am now bringing up my children in a good way, and that has been because of the training SCORE gave us.” In addition to its role as external evaluator for SCORE, MEASURE Evaluation works to improve orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) programming by facilitating the collection and use of data to determine what works in these programs and to ensure positive impacts on children and families. Currently, MEASURE Evaluation is assessing the potential for scaling up three OVC programs in Swaziland, Zimbabwe, and Lesotho. All OVC programs help to reach global targets for the U.S. President’s Emergency Fund for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)–Accelerating Children on Treatment (ACT) and Determined, Resilient, Empowered, AIDS-free, Mentored and Safe (DREAMS)—and ultimately for achieving the goal of an AIDS-free generation.

Last month, the Health Insurance and Medical Privacy Act, or HIPAA, made your electronic medical records a lot safer. As welcome as these changes are, we need to go further. It is time for a federal law requiring encryption of any database that contains personally identifying information (PII). Despite the lunacy now emanating from our nation’s capital, despite the insane games of brinksmanship in Washington, I truly do believe the failure to encrypt personally identifiable information is of critical importance to the well being of Americans, and it’s an issue we need to deal with right now.

One of the issues that comes up frequently among business owners planning for their retirement is whether they should pay off their mortgage before they retire. Of course, the short answer is: It depends. Many factors have to be considered, including your cash flow and liquidity needs in retirement, how your assets are allocated, your tax situation, and your general attitude about debt. While there are several advantages to paying off your mortgage, there may be situations when keeping it can provide more benefits. Here’s a look at both sides: When You Should Consider Paying Off Your Mortgage You don’t like debt. Some people have an aversion to debt, which is as good enough reason as any to pay it off. Past generations, especially those that grew up in the Great Depression, avoided debt as a matter or principle, viewing it as a direct threat to their financial security. That’s motivation enough for some people who want to be debt-free in retirement. You need more cash flow. Using cash flow to pay a mortgage means less is available for other lifestyle needs. If you are concerned about having enough cash flow to meet your monthly needs, especially later in life, paying off your mortgage makes sense. It could also help you avoid liquidating assets to cover your expenses. You want to reduce your interest expense. Paying off your mortgage early could result in saving a significant amount of money in interest expense, with the savings applied to your retirement income. When You Should Consider Paying Off Your Mortgage Early You would rather invest your money. Maintaining a low-interest mortgage allows you to free up assets that can be invested for higher returns. A properly diversified growth portfolio can generate returns greater than your mortgage rate. You still need the mortgage deduction. With the higher standard deduction in the new tax law, an increasing number of people may not realize the benefit of deducting their mortgage interest. If your itemized deductions will exceed the standard deduction, you could still benefit from the mortgage deduction. You like liquidity. A low-interest mortgage provides the leverage to keep your cash flow and assets working for you in more liquid investments. While you can have a lot of equity in a mortgage-free home, it could be more expensive to tap should you need to access it in the future. There is no single right answer to the question of whether to pay your mortgage off before retirement. It depends in large part on your circumstances, preferences, priorities and needs. It’s a decision that requires in depth analysis to determine if the math works one way or the other. The views expressed herein are those of Rich Best, as of the date above and are subject to change.

Residents return to fire-gutted homes as California firefighters make progress on massive blazes Firefighters took advantage of cooler temperatures Wednesday and increased containment on several destructive wildfires in California just ahead of another forecast of triple-digit heat this weekend. The slight cool-down kept fire activity at minimal levels and allowed firefighters to improve containment lines around the blazes. The fires, which erupted over the weekend amid a searing heat wave, have destroyed more than four dozen homes statewide. The blaze, which started Saturday along Highway 154, has destroyed eight homes and 12 outbuildings south of Lake Cachuma, and prompted the evacuation of more than 3,500. Another massive fire burning near Santa Maria, the 28,687-acre Alamo fire, has destroyed two structures, including one home. The blaze, which was 65% contained, continued to threaten 133 structures, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

Residents of Bristol Town have learned that bundling their Internet, phone, and television services is the optimum way to maximize their savings. You’ll love that the major Internet providers in Bristol Town have found ways to help you and your family save money on services you need every month. These bundles are going to broaden your family’s abilities to watch the shows they love most, stream their favorite content, and research everything they need for their work. When choosing an Internet service provider, it is always a good idea to examine how many streaming services your family uses every day. This can dramatically affect how much download speed you will actually require from your Internet plan. According to Netflix®, you should allocate at least 5 Mbps to stream in HD and at least 25 Mbps for Ultra HD quality streaming. When you combine this with the rest of your Bristol Town family’s needs, you may find that you need at least 50 Mbps download speed with your Internet plan. In Bristol Town, Connecticut, families are savvier than they’ve ever been before, ensuring they’re not breaking the bank on their Internet service. One of the biggest questions many in the Bristol Town area need the answer to is the difference between Megabytes per second and Megabits per second. Megabytes and Gigabytes per second is in reference to file size and the amount of data transferred. In contrast, megabits or gigabits per second is in reference to the speed at which your Internet connection uploads or downloads information. When you are choosing your ideal Internet plan for your Bristol Town family, make sure you select one with enough speed so your family has the connectivity it needs. Meeting your family’s connectivity needs is imperative for those in the Bristol Town area. Without the ability to effectively connect to the Internet, your family may struggle to finish homework, work from home, or simply enjoy online gaming during your downtime. While Internet speeds and upload/download speeds are excessively important factors in your Internet connectivity, the WiFi abilities your plan offers are huge as well. It is very necessary to speak with your Internet service provider to ensure that you have enough WiFi connectivity and range for your Bristol Town family’s needs.

My friend Erika and Colin are also Digital Nomads. (Erika was the first person to ever utter those words to me!) We met in Costa Rica just about a year ago- since then we have been together in: - Peru- Machu Pichu & Lima - Medellin, Colombia - Zadar, Croatia I just left them in Zadar on July 2. What a great time we had. This is a very beautiful country and the people are so nice. (Especially the people I was with! <3) Some highlights of the trip are below. Croatia (Zadar anyway) is super relaxed, the people are nice and I am amazed and in awe that I was able to have this experience! It’s definitely on the recommended list! Have you ever been to Croatia? Zadar? What is your favorite city in Croatia and why?

TLDR: I actually expected to get depressed, it still surprised me when it finally happened and I'm rather suspicious of its apparent resolution. A few weeks ago, I couldn't focus, get stuff done, or even remember simple things. Work felt purposeless. Relationships seemed shallow and fleeting. I couldn't get more than nominally excited about things I'd normally jump to do. I felt like a ship drifting without an anchor, unable to latch onto anything for stability despite the supposed familiarity of the surrounding landmarks. All the usual ways I might find comfort -- leaning on community, taking pleasure in the challenge of work, experiencing the wonder of the outdoors -- were bereft of their power. It sucked and it had been building for months. For the last couple of years, I've kept a wary eye on my mental health. You probably know that I'm an incessantly optimistic ball of energy, particularly when you're still groggy from lack of coffee in the morning. I have a high natural frequency and, for the last several years, I've chased the high-energy thrill of starting a business with reckless abandon. At the same time, I've also been keenly aware of the phenomenon of "Startup Depression". I've seen a number of friends spiral, sometimes for many months, through deep bouts of depression that seem to counterbalance their otherwise ebullient energy.

Directed by Lorna Tucker, 73 mins One of America’s darkest secrets: the officially sponsored destruction of Native American families. Children removed from their homes, women sterilised without consent. Citizens ignored when they spoke up in protest. In Amá, those ignored voices join together in a chorus demanding attention. Jean Whitehorse tells of her political awakening in the Summer of Love even as doctors secretly prepare to sterilise her. She’s amazed to learn that the problem was nationwide: her old friend Yvonne Swan, from Washington state, was also illegally sterilised. Meanwhile relentless activist Charon Asetoyer starts a radio station in South Dakota to amplify the voices of affected women. Travelling across some of the loneliest parts of the USA, Lorna Tucker (Westwood: Punk, Icon, Activist) contextualises these revelations by listening to victims, doctors, politicians and whistleblowers. She sets the scandal into the context of the civil rights movement, including the Native American occupation of Alcatraz in 1969. How could the voices of Native Americans have gone unheeded for so long? She finds a story of misguided attempts to “improve”, to “save” and to “civilise” Native Americans, an attitude that led to one of the most grotesque abuses of power in modern American history.

What Do Healthy Relationships Look Like Topic: Community Verse: Ephesians 4:11–4:16 “What do health relationships look like” Theme: Community Groups is one of the means of grace contributing to every person being presented complete in Christ. Introduction: God’s ultimate purpose for saving us is to bring Himself eternal glory by delivering us from our sinfulness and transforming us into the very image of Christ. Conformity to Christ is that to which the Scriptures declare we have been predestined. It is the end of our faith – when we see Christ … to be like Him for we will see Him as He is. In the meantime, our passion as believers is to do everything that we can to take advantage of the various means of grace by which God furthers His work in our lives to transform us. Some of these means include: the impact of God’s Word as we study it; the interaction that a believer enjoys with God through prayer; the instruction that a believer receives through the indispensable activity of biblical, exegetical preaching; and through fellowship by which we are able to stimulate one another to love and good works. It is through these means that believers are able to be furthered along in their progress in conformity to Christ. The goal is to enable every believer to be presented “complete” in Christ Jesus. Each of these means of grace as crucial – and the neglect of any of them results in spiritual detriment. This month, the elders desire to emphasize the means of grace that is provided here at GBC through the community groups. Our desire is to provide an orientation that shifts our collective perspective to embrace the concepts of “community” – that is, that we are stronger as believers collectively than we are as individuals. Engaging in Spirit-enhanced relationships with believers with whom familiarity produces growth in Christ-likeness is what God intends for each of us. I. Community: The Priority of Companionship A. The Declaration of God - God has created each of us essentially the same – we all have common needs that inevitably characterize us. - One of these needs was identified by God before the Fall occurred – we are created with the need for companionship – cp. Genesis 2:18 - This marital determination can be expanded to describe every believer – married or single – we need other believers in order to find the kind of spiritual companionship that will promote the growth that God intends. - Married couples have things to contribute to singles and singles have ministry obligation to couples – as we interact through the Holy Spirit … community group is clearly where this is most naturally fulfilled. B. The Design by God - God has designed us to thrive in the context of community – when others gather around us and interact with us to the glory of Christ Jesus – cp. Hebrews 10:23-25 - Individualism is an obstacle to spiritual growth as God’s design is that we support one another through the challenges that life presents – cp. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12. - So often, people tearfully confess that they feel alone, that they cannot get “plugged in,” or they don’t “fit in.” - Social – or secular – “community” cannot advance the conformity to Christ that the spiritual “community” within the Body of Christ can. - Only through community within the church can true fellowship “in the Light” promote conformity to Christ – cp. 1 John 1:7. - This is not only true of individuals, but it can also be true of couples – who feel disconnected, isolated, and lonely – and as a result, they fail to prosper spiritually. - In that we are made in the image of God, God is a social Being – enjoying fellowship between the members of the Godhead – cp. John 17:11, 21-22 - The great agony of heart in Jesus suffering was the sense of isolation that He felt from God when the Father turned away from His Son – cp. Matthew 27:46 - Loneliness is not God’s design for the believer – His intention is that we exercise our faith together with other believers with whom caring, loving, intimate relationships are developed and true ministry can be exchanged – cp. John 13:34-35; Romans 12:10; 13:8; 1 Thessalonians 4:9; 1 Peter 1:22; 1 John 4:1. - We all desire to engage in a small number of people who we can trust and who can trust us to push them in the midst of challenges, trials, temptations, sins and all of life’s circumstances closer to Christ. - This will not happen effectively in a group of 400 people – it takes engaging in a smaller, more intimate community of 8-10 other saints who carry “passports” stamped by you! - What causes a believer to neglect developing spiritual companions within the church? - How does companionship provide enhancement to one’s spiritual development? - What result does loneliness have in the dissatisfaction that people have toward the church? What is the Body of Christ to Do? Last week we looked at the reality that the Body of Christ exists as a network of relationships – that God has designed individual believers to be more effective in meaningful relationships than as individuals. He has created us to be relational beings as He is, and that in order to thrive in our growth in godliness and Christlikeness, we must be pursuing relationships with other believers. Today we want to advance our awareness of this truth by looking at “What” the Body of Christ does to establish relationships that are symbiotic. Symbiosis is that relationship between two people in which each person is dependent upon and receives reinforcement, encouragement, and strength from the other. Simply stated, we must be striving mutually beneficial relationships, not merely relationships that serve “me.” The ultimate goal of our Christian relationships is to enable each person to gain ground in their conformity to Jesus Christ. We promote greater consecration by means of being in relationships that prod us onward in our mutual love for Jesus. In this sense, the point of our relationships is the pursuit of consecration … that is, the ability to be more like Jesus Christ ourselves as well as by others. II. Community: The Pursuit of Consecration A. The Duty of Consecration - As the Scriptures teach us, our ultimate goal is the conformity to Jesus Christ. - The task of believers is to do all that they can to have such interaction within a community that we assist others become more like Christ even as we ourselves rely upon them to help us – cp. Colossians 1:28 - This is the essence of discipleship – helping others become more like Christ – cp. Matthew 28:19-20 - We cannot think that we are proper in any respect if our perspective is that our involvement in the Body of Christ is entirely about us – self-oriented. - Our great duty is to consider the worthiness of Jesus Christ enough motivation to not only seek His righteousness and Kingdom, but to be committed to assisting others to seek His righteousness and Kingdom – cp. Matthew 6:33 - The idea of being “complete” is to be mature in one’s conformity to Christ Jesus – He is our standard of righteousness, not our neighbor. - We are striving to constantly grow into the likeness of Christ – cp. Philippians 3:12. - Likewise, we must be simultaneously striving to see Christ formed in others as well – cp. Galatians 4:19; Philippians 2:3-4. B. The Dependency for Consecration - Yet, the context in which the progress in our maturity is seen is community. - Although our chief dependency for consecration is upon the Holy Spirit using God’s Word to sanctify us, we also recognize that we need each other in order to properly progress in the likeness of Christ – cp. Ephesians 4:11-13, 16 - The symbiotic relationship in which God has designed us to engage is essential to our progress in our faith – cp. Proverbs 27:17 - We need people to be in our lives when we fall – cp. Galatians 6:1-2 - We need people to be in our lives so that we can come clean – James 5:16. Acts 19:18 - We need people to be in our lives to stir us up spiritually – cp. Hebrews 10:23-25 - We need people to be in our lives to accept us in light of grace – cp. Romans 15:7 - We need people to be in our lives to counsel us with truth – cp. Proverbs 11:14; 15:22 - We need people to be in our lives to pray for us – Ephesians 6:18; James 5:16. - Again, the key to our consecration is the power of the Word of God being made relevant to our lives – 2 Timothy 3:17 - God has provided the means by which this is most effectively done: - Personal Bible Study – 2 Timothy 2:15 - Preaching – 1 Corinthians 1:21 - Personal Fellowship with other believers – Ephesians 4:15-16 - Discipleship is about learning how to observe “all things Christ has commanded us” – why is a community group necessary in this process? - If assembly is necessary for the stimulation of love and good works, what is the outcome of failing to participate in community with one another? - It is possible to be part of a community group and not benefit spiritually from the opportunity; what would cause this? - What are the key components that would make a community group effective in your life? - How can community group support what is happening on Sundays?
