As the CEO of Crowdfunder, a leading equity crowdfunding platform + venture fund, I see firsthand how the ability to reach thousands of Institutional and individual angel investors online through equity crowdfunding is transforming startup fundraising and early stage venture capital.
Unfortunately, the highly anticipated "boom" of access to non-accredited investors, namely regulated under Title III, is a bit of bust. I wrote previously about how Title III Crowdfunding Will Disappoint Entrepreneurs.
The Fix Crowdfunding Act Bill was introduced in Congress on March 23rd, two months prior to Title III officially going into effect in May. Some key legislators including McHenry (R - NC) who sponsored this new bill, are aware of the shortcomings of the previous legislation and want to improve it. The Fix Crowdfunding Act passed through the House of Representatives with a 394-4 vote on July 5th and now moves onto the Senate with major bipartisan support.
What is the Fix Crowdfunding Act?
The Fix Crowdfunding Act was introduced in March, sponsored by Representative Patrick McHenry of North Carolina. The changes outlined offer a lifeline to the troubled Title III legislation. Title III was intended to allow non-accredited investors to invest in private businesses but created barriers, burdens, and costs too significant for many otherwise investable startups and small businesses to want to take on. The new equity crowdfunding bill addresses several significant problems with the previous JOBS Act Title III legislation:
- Increases the annual company fundraising limit from $1 Million to $5 Million.
- Enables the use of Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) to group individual investors into one legal entity, rather than clutter up cap tables directly.
- Exempts equity crowdfunded startups from the kind of registration requirements of publicly traded companies after they reach 500 investors.
- Includes a "Test The
Waters" provision allowing companies to gauge investor interest on a portal online before the time and cost of an official offering.
How It Will Help Investors
- Protection: The bill extends the same protections currently available to accredited investors to non-accredited investors. In the current legislation there is no protection for investors that invest in company that is committing fraud via the crowdfunding portal. The new bill allows crowdfunding portals to disqualify issuers that are found to have provided false information. This seems like common sense, but was excluded from the original legislation.
- Access: The changes laid out make it much more appealing for early-stage businesses to utilize equity crowdfunding as a fundraising outlet. Because of this, more startups will take advantage of the opportunity, providing increased access to great investment opportunities for the average American.
How It Will Help Startups and Small Businesses
The bill fixes some glaring errors to Title III which created several hurdles to success for startups utilizing equity crowdfunding including:
- Raises Funding Limits: The change in Fundraising cap from $1 Million to $5 Million is huge for startups. In the current VC market (Check out my thoughts on the changing venture landscape), average seed rounds are growing annually. The median seed round in 2015 was $2 Million compared to $750K in 2012. This number will continue to rise, with 2016 seed projections averaging at $2.5 Million. This allows small businesses utilizing equity crowdfunding to raise similar amounts to those using traditional Venture Capital.
- Clean Up Cap Tables: The inability to use Special Purpose Vehicles (SPV) for organizing large pools of smaller investors made crowdfunding a burden for growing businesses. It's unrealistic that a startup would have the bandwidth to monitor the desires of every non-accredited investor. It also was a deterrent to future investors. The suggested changes would enable businesses to use SPVs to organize their non-accredited investor pools. This is a huge win for startups and investors.
- Decrease Risk: Under the new bill, companies would be able to gauge investor interest before spending the time and money involved in officially launching an equity crowdfunding campaign. The upfront costs associated with a non-accredited crowdfunding campaign are significant. This change has the ability to decrease the risk to startups by permitting them to conduct preliminary research and take interest before they launch an official campaign.
What's next?
The equity crowdfunding bill is now in the hands of the Senate. Given the strong bipartisan support from the House of Representatives, it would be surprising to see it fail.
The changes outlined in the Fix Crowdfunding Act have the ability to make equity crowdfunding with non-accredited investors a more viable fundraising outlet for early-stage ventures. This could finally be the game changer for investors and startups that the public has been interested in.

Packing List for My Trip to Mexico
Before I went to Mexico I asked my relatives who go there A LOT what to bring on the trip. I took their best ideas and what I learned to create this list for you.
We brought food to eat on the plane ride over and just know that Mexico doesn't allow meat, fruit or vegetables to be brought into the country. Once you get your luggage you have to dump it to leave. Sometimes you'll get away with it, if your food is well packaged. They have a dog who sniffs for food items and the authorities ask you to throw it away. Ask me how I know.
I usually bring underwear, tshirts, pants, shoes and socks that are ready to be thrown out and I wear them on my trip and throw them away so I have room in my bag for things I'm bringing home.
Packing List
- $1 bills for tips. You need these to tip the driver of your van/luggage handler, at meals, the spa (only took cash) or drivers. I would bring at least $20 in ones for a week.
- Water bottle (I really love this one). Bring it empty and refill it in the airport on the US side. On the Mexico side you pretty much have to buy water. For home I have the 60 ounce and it keeps my drinks cold. But you might want to find one that has a handle on it or that you can carry with you in a fanny pack or travel purse.
- Rash guard shirt (I have 2 of this brand and like how they fit) with bottoms. You probably want to bring at least 2 swimsuits. If you swim a lot your swimsuit might not dry in time. Make sure to wash yours out in the sink or it might stink. You don't need a towel because they provide them but if you want a larger beach towel bring one or buy one from the resort store (the store that's just off property, unless you want to pay the big $$). For a cover up I normally just throw on a simple knit skirt that goes with my sun shirt (and a bikini top underneath).
- Your own snorkel gear, so it fits and you don't have to rent it and use one that's been used by a ton of people.
- A lifejacket (I like this lightweight, packable life jacket for the price and how compact it is) and a float to swim with in the ocean if you like to do that. It's fun to bob around with the waves and just relax. My cousin says bring a wetsuit but I didn't and didn't need one. If you want to get fancy, bring a body board!
- Water shoes to walk along the beach in and wear into the ocean or cenotes. I loved these.
- Sunglasses and a hat. Sunscreen. No need to bring insect repellent – buy it there because it will be more effective against their bugs. There was a store at the resort that sold it. I didn't need any though (I did get 2 mosquito bites but they weren't a big deal).
- A waterproof phone bag. I needed one and accidentally brought a different phone carrier that wasn't waterproof. You'll want one that it so you can take photos in the ocean or while swimming.
- Travel purse. I carried valuables with me most of the time and whatever I didn't carry was left in the hotel room safe. You should get one that's lightweight, washable, secure and has wider adjustable straps that go across your body. You should keep small bills and one credit card (make sure you tell them you're travelling out of the country) in one part and bigger bills in another compartment. That way when you're shopping you won't be showing off the bigger bills because usually there are no prices and you have to bargain with shopkeepers on prices.
- Your passport. Don't forget that and when they give you that paper at the end of your flight DO NOT LOSE IT. You'll need it to get back into the US and you'll have to pay if you lose it. Put them both in your safe and keep them both in a zipped pouch or bag so they're easily accessible. Plan ahead to make sure your passport is still valid on the dates of your trip.
- Travel pillow. The hotel pillows weren't great and you may want one for the plane ride. Since my flight was during the day and I don't nap I didn't really need one but I like the inflatable travel pillows that you can deflate and store flat.
- Optional: your own headphones. I like these because they don't slip off and are really comfortable to watch movies on the plane ride over. I've had them for 4 years and they're going strong, plus cost under $20. Delta gives you cheap ones on the plane free, but they don't stay on my ears easily.
- Otherwise I brought my iPad and pre-loaded it with podcasts and videos. I didn't use them at all. I used my phone to see reviews, get directions and Google places to visit/see. Don't forget a phone charger with an extra long cord and maybe even a (two prong) plug extender. My room only had one 1-prong plug near the bed. The one I linked to has a USB charger too.
- Pen and notebook. I took notes on my phone or wrote them down for this blog post and other things I wanted to remember (like places to visit). Take photos of places you want to see before you go and photos ofi important documents.
- Medicine like Ibuprofen (for headaches, toothaches, cramps, etc), Imodium (for more serious stomach issues), Pepto (for minor stomach issues). I also bring peppermint and lavender essential oils (for bug bites, to treat minor wounds, etc), Dramamine (if you get motion sick) and bandaids. I brought but didn't use hand sanitizer. I did bring and use individually wrapped Wet Wipes to wipe down the airplane tray table so I don't get sick.
I bought a Mexican flower dress to use as a swimsuit cover up and/or to wear to the restaurants. They're super comfortable and it helps you feel more a part of the community. Expect to pay around $20 for a machine embroidered dress or $40 for a hand embroidered dress. I also bought two blouses for the same reason.

Charlie McKenzie is the best at what he does, and what he does is covert operations. At least he did until the U.S. government betrayed him and he ended up in jail.
He's now a free man, but he's never forgiven the people who locked him up and wouldn't even give him a pass to attend his beloved wife's funeral. But the government is in big trouble when a beautiful Russian spy gets her hands on a top-secret "cloaking device" called Whirlwind. Only Charlie McKenzie has what it takes to find the Russian agent and retrieve the stolen device.
Charlie's smart enough to exact a huge payment for the job, and even more important, set it up so his employers can't betray him again. But even Charlie's intricate plans may fail to keep him safe when the weak-spined Secretary of State, who personally hates Charlie, brings in a murderous South African soldier of fortune and puts him on the spy's - and Charlie's - trail.

As the Capitol, Baton Rouge has a population of more than 225,000 people. That's a lot of people! And all of them need a place to live. Luckily, Cherry Creek has available and affordable apartments! However, some people might think that "affordable = cheap" and that's just not the case for us. We just want to give our residents a quality of life that reflects more than the money they put in. Due to this, Cherry Creek has the finest affordable apts Baton Rouge has to offer.
Other apts Baton Rouge has around can't hold a candle to us. Currently, we have seven different floor plans available for rent. Since they go so fast, it's always best to call before to inquire about leasing options.
The amenities we offer have our residents feeling safe, happy, and cared for. So many apartments these days seem to have less and less as the years go on, giving you less bang for your buck. But at Cherry Creek Apartments, we offer our residents more than their money's worth. This includes in-apt washer and dryer, large closets, and officer patrols for safety. Also, we will be adding more such as a fitness center and community pool in the near future. We plan to add these because we want our residents to have the best quality of life while living with us.
Cherry Creek knows we have the best apts Baton Rouge has around. It's nearly impossible to find another apartment for this quality at this price. Want a closer look? You can always book a tour to see how good we look in person. If you'd like to call to inquire about a lease, feel free to call us at (225)217-6655. Maybe you need to call for another reason?

Harco Drive, just off of Florida Blvd. So swing by for a spell! We can't wait to have you live with us.

"But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way; for he is a chosen vessel unto Me, to bear My name before the Gentiles, and kings and the children of Israel. For I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name's sake." Acts 9:15, 16.
• To see how Paul's call to minister to the Gentiles came to fruition
• To find out how strong his devotion to his calling was
• To learn important lessons from his experiences in the ministry
The gospel message in Antioch
1. Because of fierce persecution against the disciples in Jerusalem, what became the center for the gospel work among the Gentiles?
Acts 11:19-21 Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only. And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus. And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.
"Antioch had a large population both of Jews and Gentiles; it was a great resort for lovers of ease and pleasure, because of the healthfulness of its situations, its beautiful scenery, and the wealth, culture, and refinement that centered there. Its extensive commerce made it a place of great importance, where people of all nationalities were found. It was therefore a city of luxury and vice. The retribution of God finally came upon Antioch, because of the wickedness of its inhabitants." –Sketches from the Life of Paul, p. 40.
2. Who were the first missionaries sent to Antioch to establish the church?
Acts 11:22-26 Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch. Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord. For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord. Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul: And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
"When the believers in Jerusalem heard the good tidings, they rejoiced; and Barnabas, 'a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith,' was sent to Antioch, the metropolis of Syria, to help the church there. He labored there with great success. As the work increased, he solicited and obtained the help of Paul; and the two disciples labored together in that city for a year, teaching the people, and adding to the numbers of the church of Christ." –Sketches from the Life of Paul, p. 40.
3. Initially in derision or mild contempt for the gospel message proclaimed in Antioch, what name was given to the disciples who believed in Jesus? Why were they given this name?
Acts 11:26, last part – … And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch
1 Corinthians 1:23, 24 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
"It was here that the disciples were first called Christians. This name was given them because Christ was the theme of their preaching, teaching, and conversation. They were continually recounting the incidents of His life, during the time in which His disciples were blessed with His personal company. They dwelt untiringly upon His teachings, His miracles of healing the sick, casting out devils, and raising the dead to life. With quivering lips and tearful eyes they spoke of His agony in the garden, His betrayal, trial, and execution, the forbearance and humility with which He endured the contumely and torture imposed upon Him by His enemies, and the Godlike pity with which He prayed for those who persecuted Him. His resurrection and ascension, and His work in heaven as a Mediator for fallen man, were joyful topics with them. The heathen might well call them Christians, since they preached of Christ, and addressed their prayers to God through Him." –Sketches from the Life of Paul, pp. 40, 41.
Paul's ordination to the ministry
4. How did Paul and his companion Barnabas receive the divine approval for their ministry?
Acts 13:1-3 Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
"God communicated with the devout prophets and teachers in the Church at Antioch. 'As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate Me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.' These apostles were therefore dedicated to God in a most solemn manner by fasting and prayer and the laying on of lands; and they were sent forth to their field of labor among the Gentiles.
"Both Paul and Barnabas had been laboring as ministers of Christ, and God had abundantly blessed their efforts; but neither of them had previously been formally ordained to the gospel ministry by prayer and the laying on of hands. They were now authorized by the church, not only to teach the truth, but to baptize, and to organize churches, being invested with full ecclesiastical authority." –Sketches from the Life of Paul, p. 42.
5. What is significant about the ordinance of laying on of hands for the gospel ministry? Does the act impart special power or virtue to the recipient?
Acts 14:23 And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.
"The ordination by the laying on of hands, was, at a later date, greatly abused; unwarrantable importance was attached to the act as though a power came at once upon those who received such ordination, which immediately qualified them for any and all ministerial work, as though virtue lay in the act of laying on of hands. We have, in the history of these two apostles, only a simple record of the laying on of hands, and its bearing upon their work. Both Paul and Barnabas had already received there commission from God Himself; and the ceremony of the laying on of hands added no new grace or virtual qualification. It was merely setting the seal of the church upon the work of God–an acknowledged form of designation to an appointed office." –Sketches from the Life of Paul, pp. 43, 44.
Ministerial experiences
6. What hindrances from Satan did Paul and his company experience during their missionary trip?
Acts 13:6-12 And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus: Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God. But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand. Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
"The sorcerer had closed his eyes to the evidences of truth, and the light of the gospel, therefore the Lord, in His righteous anger, caused his natural eyes to be closed, shutting out from him the light of day. This blindness was not permanent, but only for a season, to warn him to repent, and to seek pardon of God whom he had so offended….
"Elymas was not a man of education, yet he was peculiarly fitted to do the work of Satan. Those who preach the truth of God will be obliged to meet the wily foe in many different forms. Sometimes it is in the person of learned, and often in the person of ignorant, men, whom Satan has educated to be his successful instruments in deceiving souls and in working iniquity. It is the duty of the minister of Christ to stand faithfully at his post, in the fear of God and in the power of his strength. Thus he may put to confusion the hosts of Satan, and triumph in the name of the Lord." –Sketches from the Life of Paul, pp. 45, 46.
7. When they returned to Antioch after visiting Cyprus, Paphos, and Perga, Paul and Barnabas had a good audience in Pisidia. What was the response of the Gentile converts to the gospel message?
Acts 13:16-49 Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience. The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it. And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness. And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot. And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet. And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years. And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will. Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus: When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose. Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent. For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him. And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain. And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre. But God raised him from the dead: And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people. And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers, God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David. Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption: But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption. Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets; Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you. And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath. Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God. And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God. But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth. And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.
"When they
"The Gentiles, on the other hand, rejoiced exceedingly that Christ recognized them as the children of God, and with grateful hearts they listened to the word preached. The apostles now clearly discerned their duty, and the work which God would have them do. They turned without hesitation to the Gentiles, preaching Christ to them, and leaving the Jews to their bigotry, blindness of mind, and hardness of heart." –Sketches from the Life of Paul, pp. 49, 50.
8. When a gospel message is presented and rejected, what should be the attitude of the messengers?
Acts 13:45, 46, 50, 51 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles…But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts. But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.
Matthew 10:23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
"The interest to hear the words of the apostles was so great that the whole city came together on the next Sabbath day. But now, as in the days of Christ, when the Jewish priests and rulers saw the multitudes that had assembled to hear the new doctrine, they were moved by envy and jealousy, and contradicted the word of the apostles with blasphemy. Their bigotry and prejudice were also aroused, when they perceived great numbers of Gentiles mingling with the Jews in the congregation. They could not endure that the Gentiles should enjoy religions privileges on an equality with themselves, but clung tenaciously to the idea that the blessing of God was reserved exclusively for them. This had ever been the great sin of the Jews, which Christ, on several occasions, had rebuked." –Sketches from the Life of Paul, p. 49.
For further meditation and study
• Although he was already chosen by Jesus Himself, Paul's formal ordination to the gospel ministry invested him with full ecclesiastical authority from the established church of God. Read Sketches from the Life of Paul, pp. 42-44.
• His courage, zeal, and determination were so strong that, throughout his later ministry, Paul never lost sight of the Source of his wisdom and strength. Read The Acts of the Apostles, p. 128.

Jesus Didn't Qualify…
Many in the Church today are under the impression that being focused on leading people in a "sinners prayer" means being focused on winning the lost for Christ. Ironically, it would seem that Jesus didn't qualify for membership in that group. Jesus never spoke of leading a person in a prayer for salvation. No one in the Bible ever did.
The Example of Christ
Don't get me wrong, I'm not necessarily opposed to it as long as it's not the result of pressure or fear. I have led many in a prayer of faith for salvation myself. I've lived and ministered under that model. But I've also led general church-wide prayers for salvation, asking for nothing more than a raised hand of acknowledgement, all because I was pressured by those above me into the idea that I had to be sensitive to those people present; many of whom, in reality, were not even seeking God. But, after years of trying to conform and find the wisdom in it, I have concluded that it's not only an extra-biblical model, it's fundamentally unbiblical and inadequate as well.
Christ is our only perfect model, from beginning to end. Jesus commanded us to go everywhere, heal the sick, and declare the good news of the kingdom of God. It seems to me that one of the primary reasons that we do what He didn't say but don't do what He did say is because we know we can accomplish it in our own natural power and we can control our image.
Shake off the Shackles of Humanism
In every era, churches are tempted to shift to a model that seems to be drawing more people—a model that is possible to duplicate by purely human means. Sadly, just like leading someone in a prayer, we tend to minimize everything down to what can be done without God. Today, the model is to spend our efforts creating pleasing, deliberately structured environments and utilizing modern marketing techniques to get the lost in so we can eventually lead them into praying a prayer. We can utilize whatever language that works best for us to present it as a God-given idea. We can find justification in the bible for anything we want to believe. But, there is no God-given idea that doesn't rely on faith and isn't centered on the demonstration and model of Christ Himself.
Inevitably, the humanistic model leads to confining the demonstration of the power of God into a back room for fear of offending people who don't know God. But when those people truly lay hold of eternal life, they begin growing and reading their Bibles. They begin to wonder why they haven't heard of or seen the things that were of primary focus to Jesus, the apostles, and the early church. Before long we find that we are promoting nothing more than humanistic religion and not the Christ-like life. Its time to get back to that biblical Christianity: counting the cost to follow Christ, dying to ourselves and all else, taking up our cross to follow Him alone.
Its time to go out everywhere and rely on the demonstration of the power of God and the drawing of the Holy Spirit to win the lost. Its time to disciple believers into the fullness of Christ. Its time for the real gospel again.

From clothes, electronics, and car parts to whatever else you can think of, it's common knowledge that China is responsible for manufacturing most of the goods we use every day. And for decades, many of our preconceived ideas about the quality of "Made in China" have been negative—cheap, disposable, and fake are common views. This was especially true with car parts, but the reality has started to change in recent years, especially with companies like A Spec, which we visited earlier this year.
A Spec isn't a complete stranger to the automotive aftermarket community. It was founded in '02, and every enthusiast who ever modified a Japanese import knew the name. It was a leading distributor for premier Japanese car parts for many years. But there came a time when owner Lawrence Yip decided to roll the dice and pursue his long-term vision for the company. Instead of being known strictly as an importer and parts dealer, he decided to move to China and make his mark building high-quality exhausts and complete packages. When most people heard this, they thought he was crazy, but Lawrence proved us wrong as soon as we arrived in China for the first time.
We were there to experience A Spec's latest products but had no idea what to expect from our visit to the country more than 1.3 billion people call home.
On our first day, we soon realized major cites like Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangzhou are a hotbed for growth and technology. One of the biggest surprises was the roads. China has exceeded the miles of paved roadways of the U.S. This was to support the amount of car ownership—cars are everywhere, and it's not only Chinese domestic models or Japanese imports. European cars are becoming more popular for the more affluent owner. In fact, Lawrence told us it's as expensive to buy a Honda Accord as a BMW. With this in mind, it was an easy decision for him to shift the company's focus from Japanese to European imports. People wanted the status, comfort, and quality of a European car, and they wanted quality aftermarket products to match, which is where A Spec comes into play.
With 90 percent of Chinese not owning a garage, there aren't many guys attempting DIY work or even shops to get work done. They also don't go all out with the upgrades, preferring simple, functional, high-quality bolt-on parts.
This approach can be expensive when importing parts from Japan, USA, or Europe, so A Spec started by offering high-quality exhausts. We were fortunate to get a tour of the factory and were baffled by how many quality checks are made and how little was outsourced.
A Spec's bread and butter is the IDEAS exhaust (Intelligent Dynamic Exhaust Acoustic System). Seeing and hearing them firsthand, they appear to rival some of the top exhausts on the market, but the IDEAS system goes further by using a valve system in conjunction with an exhaust pressure sensor to give drivers the ability to have either a quiet or aggressive exhaust sound. It's selected with a touch of a button and is even customizable via a module that can be set to three different modes, including sport—which opens the flap at full throttle when it senses the exhaust pressure is high, yet keeps it closed at cruising speeds. Very advanced stuff!
But what we're most excited about was the introduction of A Spec's Lamborghini and Porsche conversions. Designed for the Gallardo LP560, the package was dubbed PPL600 for "Performance Project Lamborghini 600"—the number representing its horsepower.
The Gallardo was lowered, fitted with 20-inch three-pieced forged A Spec wheels, the interior was upholstered in alcantara, and the car was fitted with the company's IDEAS exhaust. More importantly, the exterior was fitted with its new 27-piece aero body kit made from carbon fiber (A Spec will also offer the entire kit in carbon Kevlar).
The design updates the Lamborghini with elements reminiscent of the Aventador, Hurcan, and Sesto Elemento. The front end, for example, is a trendsetter with a menacing bumper and vented hood. Even the emblem was moved from its original location on the hood to the bumper—a nice touch.
The side skirts feature wide air vents with carbon sills. You'll notice large air outlets on the kit—all are functional. The rear follows suit with an aggressive diffuser, while the centerpiece takes cues from the Sesto Elemento and Veneno, with its triangular openings. Finally, the rear wing gives the Lambo a new personality, yet the centersection retains the factory adjustability.
The second car introduced in China was the A Spec Type-991 Porsche 911 Carrera S, nicknamed PPP430. It's an older A Spec project car that already sported the company's wheels, brakes, and exhaust. But now it's been outfitted with an A Spec carbon/Kevlar body kit. Overall, it's tamer than the Lamborghini and only includes a front lip, side skirts, rear diffuser, and decklid. Yet each piece, while simple, transforms the 991 into a more striking road car. And with this example, A Spec opted to leave elements of the Kevlar weave visible for extra impact.
Both cars are just the beginning for A Spec. The Gallardo and 991 add to a solid foundation of cars, which also include the BMW 3 Series (featured in EC 5/14) and Audi A4/S4.
Lawrence's goal is to continue expanding the exhaust line that is proving popular in Asia, but also offer more turnkey modified cars for the growing European aftermarket community in China.
After seeing its facility, project cars, and attention to detail, the company seems to be changing the game in China, and we're happy to announce U.S. customers can also take advantage of many of these new performance products.

BC 810 - Bundle cutter Brush samples | Request offer
+ up to 70 cuts/min
+ precision cut tolerances +/- 0.008" (0.2 mm)
+ short bundle lengths
+ extremely long blade service time
+ natural filament cutting (optional)
+ automatic remaining length processing (optional)
+ fast manual operation for flexible materials (optional)
Precise cuts in all cases of application (synthetic, abrasive and natural materials)
Wöhler offers the perfect cutting machine for just about every bundle cutting application: From the handy manual bundle cutter to the high performance precision model.
All Wöhler bundle cutters today use the special high performance blade design. The innovative geometry significantly increases the durability of the blade. Particularly in the case of cutting abrasives, wear reduction in comparison with conventional blades is phenomenal. Less frequent sharpening needs reduce maintenance costs, increase availability and ensure a faster ROI.
The Wöhler BC 810 is the high end cutting solution in the Wöhler BC series of bundle cutters.
The bundle cutter is fitted with a cutting plate with seven individual cutting bushings from 1.6″ to 3.5″ (40 to 90 mm). This effectively covers around 99% of all applications.
The Wöhler BC 810 features a clean cut function with waste sorting as well as a remaining bundle sorting function. Settings are made easily and intuitively by means of the set-up wizard via touch screen. Two different cut lengths can be selected simultaneously for optimal use of the material hanks. Entry of the remaining bundle length is likewise possible. The bundle cutter calculates the optimal cutting positions from the values entered in order to minimise the cut waste. Remaining bundle lengths which can still be economically used are sorted separately and ejected.
The new manual operation function allows the operator to cut not automatically cuttable materials both quickly and safely. This makes sense from one piece.
The optional module for cutting natural materials allows efficient cutting of natural materials wound with cord or tape. The remaining bundle length processing enables economic production of usable remaining bundle lengths, which is of particular interest in the case of more costly materials.
Optional equipment
• natural materials
– determining of remaining length
– remaining length processing
• manual operation for flexible hanks, not suitable for automatic cutting
We're very approachable and would love to speak to you. Feel free to call 0049 29 53 - 73 300, send us an email [email protected] or simply complete the enquiry form.

LaMalfa Supports Passage of National Defense Authorization Act
(Washington, DC) – Congressman Doug LaMalfa (R-Richvale) issued the following statement after the House voted to pass H.R.2810, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (NDAA). This bill rebuilds military readiness, provides for troops and their families, modernizes the U.S. military arsenal, and reforms many of the Pentagon's policies.
LaMalfa said: "Without question, the United States has the finest military in the world, but today, our military is in a readiness crisis. The past six years have seen the budget drastically reduced while tensions around the world continue to rise. The public concerns of Defense Secretary Mattis are alarming, to say the least. We ask more of our armed forces each day, but have failed to supply them with the resources, equipment, and troops they need to be successful. This bill will increase the size of our army, modernize equipment, and ensure our troops are outfitted with the best technology available. Most importantly, adequate funding is provided to bring our military readiness back to acceptable levels. It is the constitutional obligation of Congress to 'provide for the common defense.' This legislation provides the funding our military needs in a cost-effective and efficient manner, and I strongly support it."
Highlights of the $695.9 billion spending bill are as follows:
The NDAA increases readiness for our military
- Increases the size of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Army Guard and Reserve, Naval and Air Reserve, and Air Guard.
- Increases funding for maintenance for all Services, for increased training opportunities, and for sustaining, restoring, and modernizing facilities.
- Provides for U.S. involvement and support for efforts in strategic regions around the world.
- Modernizes our nuclear weapons stockpile, missile defense, and military vehicles.
- Includes $7.9 billion for aviation readiness, $5.9 billion for increased naval presence, $5.7 billion for ground forces, $2.3 billion for facilities maintenance, $2.5 billion for missile defense, and $8 billion for cyber operations.
The NDAA provides resources for our troops
- Fully funds a 2.4 percent pay raise for our troops.
- Prohibits closure of military medical facilities upon which our deployed troops and their families rely.
- Provides resources to help families manage relocations.
The NDAA reforms Pentagon policies
- Prohibits transferring detainees from Guantanamo Bay to the United States, and from transferring the U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay back to Cuba.
- Forces the Pentagon to more closely analyze needs and spending patterns by requiring funding for services that need to be contracted out to be submitted through the Department of Defense (DOD) budget process.
- Allows the DOD to use online sites, such as Amazon, to get commercial goods more cheaply, more quickly, and in a more transparent manner.
Included in the bill was an amendment by Rep. LaMalfa requesting the United States Air Force (USAF) halt rehabilitation of the Over-The-Horizon Backscatter (OTHB) Rader Site located in Modoc National Forest in Modoc County, CA. The site has not been active since 1991 and is being returned to the original condition of the land prior to the USAF leasing it. Halting this process would save taxpayer money, save USAF resources, and allow Modoc County to use existing infrastructure for economic development purposes.
Congressman Doug LaMalfa is a lifelong farmer representing California's First Congressional District, including Butte, Glenn, Lassen, Modoc, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Shasta, Sierra, Siskiyou and Tehama Counties.

Hyper-V: Add ICMP to Stateful ACL rules
Currently you cannot add stateful ACL rules (on a Hyper-V Virtual Switch) on the ICMP protocol.
This leaves you to either open ICMP to everyone or close ICMP to everyone including the VM itself.
Neither is secure or practical for such an important and basic functionality (ping).
Doc: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/virtualization/hyper-v-virtual-switch/create-security-policies-with-extended-port-access-control-lists#bkmk_stateful
So the request is simple: Create the functionality to create ICMP stateful rules.

If you are managing a multilingual website, you might have encountered a situation where Google sent your visitors to a wrong language version of your site based on search results personalization. There is a strong chance that it may have been because you were (and maybe still are) using hreflang incorrectly.
This tag can be used to explicitly tell Google about the relationship of any page to an alternative language version at the specified URL.
Google incorrect hreflang notice!
A couple days ago, probably up to hundreds of thousands of webmasters received a notification from Google about their incorrect implementation of hreflang attributes on their websites. This signifies at least one of two possible things. It may mean that hreflang is a huge signal for Google's search engine and incorrect implementation is so wide-spread that it is noticeably affecting their search results and user satisfaction. Or that Google could be planning on putting more importance on a correctly implemented hreflang attribute in the future and this is how they prepare for upcoming updates and changes. Either way, it is certain that hreflang matter a lot and that everyone should walk the extra mile in order to avoid all potential search issues.
This is what the text is saying:
Google had detected that some pages on your site have implemented the rel-alternate-hreflang tag incorrectly. In particular, there seems to be a problem with incorrect language and region codes, or incorrect bi-directional linking (if page a links with hreflang to page B, there must be a link back from B to A as well). Google uses the hreflang attributes to serve the correct language or regional URL to the right users in search results.
Until you correct the errors on the hreflang links, your website will not benefit from additional language or region targeting.
If you have found such notification in your search console, you need to make sure to fix the issues as soon as possible or you may not be able to correctly target users in a certain region and suffer in terms of your click-through rate and SERP position.
Potential issues include search engines displaying more versions of your website or giving users the wrong variation in relation to their location.
For example:
Instead of the correct British version:
The worst issue happens when you expand the site to a new language, but search engines never include this new variation because they have no clue that these new pages were created.
How to implement hreflang
Let us illustrate how to correctly implement hreflang on an English language page located at httt://www.example.com/. This website has three language variations – English (example.com/en), Russian (example.com/ru), and German (example.com/de).
The main page is going to be served to those users who cannot be properly identified or are using mixed language settings. Each language version of a URL has to include all other language versions, including itself.
This means that we can implement hreflang using HTML link element in header, like this:
<link rel="alternate" href="http://example.com/en" hreflang="en" />
<link rel="alternate" href="http://example.com/de" hreflang="de" />
<link rel="alternate" href="http://example.com/ru" hreflang="ru" />
<link rel="alternate" href="http://example.com/" hreflang="x-default" />
This tells Google and other search engines including Yandex that there are alternative language versions for the same page. And this is how you would then implement hreflang on your subpages:
<link rel="alternate" href="http://example.com/en/seo" hreflang="en" />
<link rel="alternate" href="http://example.com/de/seo" hreflang="de" />
<link rel="alternate" href="http://example.com/ru/seo" hreflang="ru" />
There is no need for x-default variation because it serves only as a default gateway and example.com/seo does not exist.
Language version information can also be submitted in a sitemap.xml, like this:
This guarantees that Google will fully understand how our website operates and can serve the best possible page in search results.
A few extra tips
In addition to a language, you can also specify a country. This way, Spanish-speaking visitors from Mexico will get a different page from those who speak Spanish but do not live in Mexico.
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="es" href="http://www. example.com/es/">
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="es-mx" href="http://www. example.com/es-mx/">
Make sure to always use a correct language and region codes. That means ISO 639-1 for language codes and ISO 3166-1 Alpha 2 for region targeting. It is best to always check and make sure that you are using the correct code since not all of them are intuitive. For example, UK uses "gb" and not "uk".
If you are still not sure how to correctly write hreflang, you can take advantage of Hreflang Tags Generator Tool. By inputing the URL, language, and country you are targeting the tool is able to generate correct hreflang tags for each different language and country.

This comment isn't associated with this story...didn't know where to place it...Ummm, there was a murder a few miles from your radio station...thought the "news" authority might want to know...if you do post something, you'd be the last. Sadly, this is the third MAJOR story you've completely missed. Each breaking story has been near you. If you're not going to do the news seriously, change formats for WVTT. Claiming to be the "news leader" simply offends the sensibilities of those that follow news. Seriously, it's embarassing.ReplyDelete

SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX) — A San Francisco statue was found covered in graffiti just weeks after undergoing a $300,000 restoration.
Just four weeks ago the city unveiled the newly restored William McKinley Monument in Golden Gate Park restoration. It only lasted about two weeks.
"We had hoped that the project we were doing would stave off the vandalism for a little while," said Allison Cummings of the SF Arts Commission. "We weren't anticipating it happening this quickly – or this bad."
So, the very same experts that spent much of the summer restoring the McKinley Monument were back out on Tuesday, scrubbing away.
"We do use specialists," said Cummings. "This is a historic monument and we want to treat it as such."
And the bill?
"Vandalism of this magnitude costs us anywhere between $3000-to-$5000 in abatement."
So, it costs $15-to-$20,000 to keep the statue graffiti-free on a good year. On a bad year, that figure could climb as high as $40,000.
Citywide, San Francisco's graffiti costs about 20 million dollars per year.
Cummings feels certain the vandals will strike again.
"We'll re-coat it and prepare for the next incident," said Cummings.
McKinley was a 19th Centuty Civil Rights Hero
At a time when many Governor's permitted lynchings of "bad hombres", Ohio Gov. McKinley took the strongest measures to protect the lives of all persons, even those minorities accused of rape.
His right-hand man was Col. Alonzo B. Coit,
It was a different time but the rule of law was upheld by 19th Century civil rights heroes, McKinley and Coit.
If you travel in southwestern Ohio, stop by Washington Courthouse where the historical marker stands and bullet holes remain in the courthouse doors.
Washington Court House is the county seat of Fayette County, about halfway between Cincinnati and Columbus.
Since 1885, the magnificent building at the corner of Main and Court has stood guard over that quiet town. But on the evening of October 17, 1894, the quiet was shattered, and the courthouse became the epicenter of a frozen moment that left a permanent mark.
The drama began to unfold on October 9, 1894, when Mary Catherine Parrott Boyd – a 53-year-old widow – was physically and sexually attacked. Mary was white; her alleged assailant – William "Jasper" Dolby – was a 19-year-old black man.
Dolby, who had fled, was later apprehended in Delaware, Ohio. Upon capture, he confessed to the crime and expressed regret for his actions. When he was brought to the Fayette County jail, Sheriff James Cook quickly realized that an ugly state of unrest was fast developing in town.
Dozens of townspeople – convinced that Ohio's criminal penalties weren't sufficient – began gathering around the Courthouse Square demanding that Cook release Dolby to the swelling crowd. Cook heard rumblings of a lynching.
Believing that his forces couldn't protect Dolby, Cook called out the local unit of the Ohio National Guard on the evening of October 16. As the crowd increased, Cook contacted Governor William McKinley for additional troops. Reinforcements soon arrived from Columbus under command of Colonel Alonzo Coit.
On October 17, Coit and his troops managed to move Dolby from the jail to the courthouse for arraignment, although there was a skirmish along the way. By the time the court proceedings ended, the crowd had become an angry, determined mob. It was impossible to move Dolby back to the jail. Sheriff Cook immediately wired Governor McKinley for more troops, declaring that he couldn't handle the crowd with his present force.
Recounting the event several decades later for the Dayton Daily News, Howard Burba wrote that Colonel Coit "mounted the front steps and addressed the mob. He urged all those assembled to disperse, assuring them that there would be no delay in legal proceedings and that they could be sure that justice would be meted out to the prisoner." He warned that if the doors were breached, his men would fire. But his pleas went unheeded.
While Coit and his troops guarded the entrances, deputy sheriffs and militiamen surrounded Dolby in the grand jury room, determined to make their final stand there if the mob made it inside the courthouse.
Just after Coit finished speaking to the crowd, there was a forward surge, and soon the people were "grappling hand-to-hand" with the National Guard. "They were repelled. But they were not overpowered."
Compelled by an irrational frenzy that overtakes a mob, there was another surge forward at the south entrance, those behind pushing the ones in front. Colonel Coit raised his hand and gave the command. The troops fired through the door.
A newspaper account written at the time reported that, "Immediately there was a deafening and continuous volley from two score of muskets. A pandemonium of yells and curses and a dense smoke filled the corridors."
Five men were killed; more than 20 others were wounded.
"Within an instant the spirit and purpose of the mob had been changed," Burba wrote. "Where a moment before the volley it had sought" Dolby, now it clamored for Coit and his men. There were threats to dynamite the jail and courthouse, and vows that Coit wouldn't leave town alive.
At around that time, Elmer Boyd – Mary Boyd's son – pushed his way to the entrance and asked permission to speak. He begged the mob to disperse and let the courts mete out the proper punishment. "His pleas were met with hoots and jeers."
Gradually, however, cooler heads prevailed. Governor McKinley arrived early in the morning, and more troops reinforced Coit's beleaguered force. They managed to get Dolby on a train to Columbus. Coit made it to the depot too, under protection of his men.
Dolby was sentenced to 20 years in the state penitentiary. He was released after 13 years. A newspaper account reported that Dolby "celebrated the event by procuring a license to wed Marie Ross." The paper noted that Dolby "has been a good prisoner. A tailor is making a fine suit of clothes. His sweetheart is patiently awaiting the day of his final discharge. She made his acquaintance behind the walls."
Dolby's "total capital after being released was 41 cents, besides the usual 5-dollar bill given to each inmate when discharged."
Fayette County was aligned with McKinley's political foes and Col. Coit was the scapegoat.
Having been thrust into a volatile and difficult situation, he was later indicted for manslaughter. But, after a trial, he was acquitted.
Governor McKinley was not apologetic. "The act speaks for itself," he said. "Troops were sent to act in aid of the civil authorities, who were powerless to quell a mob that was seeking to overthrow the law and its orderly administration. Lynching cannot be tolerated in Ohio."
The south doors of the courthouse were never replaced or repaired, leaving the bullet holes as a reminder of a night where, as McKinley said, "the law was upheld as it should have been…but at fearful cost."

I was in court today. Something I try wholeheartedly not to do whenever possible. Not because I'm not a skilled litigator (I am), but because it is such an awful experience for most people — even when they "win." Having been on the other side of the table a few times as a plaintiff in a civil case and witness in a criminal case, I have the unique perspective of understanding how it feels to be in court with a room full of strangers hearing the most intimate aspects of your life. I also know how it feels to leave your case up to an (imperfect) human (aka judge) to make decisions that may have a long-lasting impact on your life. Add to that the tension, bitterness, and grief in the air and it can feel utterly overwhelming.
So, having litigated, mediated, negotiated, and collaborated on over 1,000 family law cases in the last 13 years, I can tell you that things are (thankfully) changing for the better. Unfortunately, it's not the lawyers that are changing (for the most part), it's the consumers. And while we have a long way to go before consumers are really in the driver's seat when it comes to divorce, we are making good headway. By changing the way we "break up," lawyers will have to follow suit.
Since launching Hello Divorce just about a year ago, I've taken a clue from our awesome users as I've watched how they gracefully navigate out of relationships and into the best version of themselves. So many of them are clear that they want their experience of divorce to be different than the prevailing thought around what divorce looks like. Below are the new and improved rules for splitting up as modeled by many of our users. This isn't to say breakups aren't hard or divorce is easy — it's not. Never. But there are ways to ease the pain and use the crisis as an opportunity for growth.
- Surround yourself with people who make you want to be the best version of yourself. One way to ensure that your divorce will be miserable is to spend your time with people who constantly bash your ex, dwell in the past, encourage you to "fight," and stoke the fire. To have an empowered experience of divorce does not mean you fight to win everything. Doing that will likely send you into extreme debt and keep you miserable. Surround yourself with people who inspire you, uplift you, and keep you focused on what matters most.
- Get educated. One of the most frightening experiences of my life was navigating the legal system without understanding the system. It certainly is complicated but it's not brain surgery. Get the tools and resources you need (from a reliable source) and pair that with a "tour guide" (i.e. a great legal team and/or divorce coach or certified divorce financial planner) to walk you through the process. When we don't have knowledge, we feel out of control. And we all know how lack of control manifests itself — in so many ugly ways.
- Keep your divorce conversations productive. I know, easier said than done. The communication issues you had during your relationship don't magically go away after the separation. But, there are a lot of things you can do to help move your divorce toward resolution, starting with determining what you really need and what you can live without. Next, remember that divorce doesn't have to be a zero-sum game. You both can come out of the relationship with "wins" and in heartfelt integrity. Finally, use "I" statements when discussing divorce-related stuff with your ex and watch your tone (and try to be sober too). Focus on yourself and what you want moving forward.
- Find a lawyer who will focus on your needs and wants and not on what they think you need. How do you do that? Best option: word of mouth referral. If no one you know and love has been through a divorce recently, do your research. Spend some time on the websites of potential lawyers. Check out their "About Me" page. Is their copy user-friendly? Do they talk like a human or do they use lawyer speak? Run away if all you see is legalese, negative imagery (the husband and wife each grabbing a child's arm and pulling), or the word "aggressive" written over and over. "Aggressive" is usually code for "I have a terrible reputation, most people dislike me, and I haven't settled a case in 10 years."
- If your divorce is uncomplicated or moderately contested, consider hiring a legal team that offers flat-fee services or limited scope representation. These are new options and people like you are paving the way for a user-friendly, cost-effective, transparent legal experience. At Hello Divorce, we offer flat-fee services through our Divorce Navigator and/or membership options depending on the level of assistance you need.
- Self-love. If you've explored our platform or read some of my previous articles, you know this is my absolute favorite thing to remind people to embrace. Poet Nayyirah Waheed once wrote, "you. not wanting me. was the beginning of me wanting myself. thank you." Perfect, right? Want yourself, believe in yourself, stop giving yourself a list of "shoulds" (I should be feeling better, I should start/stop dating, etc). Just let yourself "be." And while you're at it, download our self-care worksheet to design a self-care plan you'll actually stick to. Remember, our path to mind and body "wellness" is being truly "enough" for ourselves.
- Make the focus about you, not your ex. We can find a million+ reasons why our relationship fell apart because of our ex's actions (or inactions). What if we channeled all those negative thoughts into what we want for ourselves and our relationships going forward? S/he doesn't deserve all of your energy, time, and attention.
Ultimately, remember divorce is not who you are, it's simply where you are at. Sometimes the hurdles we face can feel overwhelming and paralyzing. Balancing work, home, and/or parenting is hard enough; add in a breakup and we are stretched thin. Just remember, nothing is permanent. You will find joy. You will find peace.

a couple things happen inside my brain:

Title: Digital Twin
Artist: SansMinds Creative Lab
Producers: Sands Minds Magic
Link: Available At Your Favorite Murphy's Magic Dealer
Retail Price: $29.95 USD
Learning Difficulty: Easy
Length of DVD: 40 Minutes
Digital Twin allows you to use either your phone or a spectator's to digitally clone a bank note (paper currency) right before everyone's eyes. The serial numbers on the bills will match!
As far as cell phone magic goes Digital Twin is a pretty neat concept. The cell phone isn't used as a means of accomplishing the trick, but it does aid in the performance. That is to say that this isn't an app you download or anything where the cell phone is doing the magic for you. You will though need to pick up on some basic sleight of hand moves, and have some patience when it comes to gimmick construction.
The gimmick construction…all I can say is "wow." They cover a few ways you can make the gimmicks and they range from something simple to very complex using photo shop, and scanning in this, editing that, printing this, yadda yadda yadda. Way to much effort for a simple bill effect. The simple approach they explained worked for me, and thank god. I suck at photo editing software!
The trick itself is pretty *** neat. You borrow a bill from someone, or you can use your own too, and you take a quick video of it. You make note of the serial number on the bill. You put the phone in your hand, replay the video moving the phone away at a dramatic moment and wallah! You're holding an exact copy of the spectator's bill serial number and all. I've performed this a couple times and I've gotten a fairly mixed bag of slow burners who took a minute to finally work out for themselves the impossibility of what just happened, upwards to a few very vocal reactions from a coworker who claimed I was Satan and crossed herself before refusing to talk to me the rest of the day. So I can say that I'm pretty pleased with how well this effect is hitting.
This is probably one of the more practical street magic effects with a cell phone that is out there. Your angles are pretty solid, and it doesn't take a long time to learn how to perform it. You'll probably spend more time making the *** bills than you will learning how to do the trick. The reset is quick but it's not instantaneous or anything. You won't want to do this for the same audience twice in a row anyways so you'll find it quick enough to reset while you're walking away. This trick is ideal for table hopping. The cell phone element makes it good for streets because it gives it that urban feel.
The downside to this trick is that it is way to over explained! So many times during the video I wanted to scream "Just F&!king shut up and get on with it already!" I'm serious. Not every single move needs to be broken down, re-explained, re-shown, and then explained again like we're complete idiots. The upside to this is that for the people who have never bought a magic trick before in their life will probably appreciate all the time and attention they spend on every single nuance in this trick. However everyone else is going to be pulling their hair out trying to sludge through this unnecessarily long tutorial. I swear you could probably have cut 10 to 15 minutes off the run time if you would have edited down or reshot the tutorial to remove all the over explanation that is going on. At one point I just hit the mute button and followed along with the motions. So if that's my only complaints about this product then I guess I'm doing well for myself.
Overall this is a fun little bit of magic to perform. I really liked Digital Twin and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes doing money magic, or likes having an urban organic feel to their style. The TV rights for this routine are withheld by SansMinds so you can't go doing this for film, but I think it'll find a good home in most people's walk around sets.
When I give my product scores below I am measuring them on a scale of 1 to 10. 1 Being absolute the worst score possible, and 10 being the absolute best, making a score of five average. The four points that I grade upon is Product Quality, Teaching Quality, Sound & Video Quality and Overall Quality.
Product Quality: 8
Good price, fun trick.
Teaching Quality: 3
I'm intentionally failing you on this category for unnecessary over explaining. Just like you can talk yourself out of a good sale, you can also talk yourself right out of a good score.
Video & Sound Quality: 8
Good video, good sound.
Overall Quality: 8
Ignoring the poor teaching quality score I have to say that this is a solid effect. I recommend it, and I think that you'll really enjoy it.

Schulz Organic Dairy A Glass Act
Schulz Organic Dairy has been working hard and so too its many followers in achieving an initial crowd funding target of $48,000 to expand its new milk in glass bottle operation to 3,000 bottles. The aim is to produce customised, easy to process glass milk bottles with glass printed labels, extend distribution to major retailers and eventually phase out the plastic milk bottle. Having achieved their initial funding target they say they are now 100% committed to going further and producing 10,000 bottles. 10,000 bottle equates to 20-tonne of plastic saved from entering the waste system per year if Simon Schulz and his supporters can make it to $144,000. If you want to make a pledge and be a significant part of the DRINK | RETURN | REFILL | REPEAT movement visit https://www.pozible.com/project/schulz-milk-in-glass
Simon says Australians use and dispose of the equivalent of 2.5 billion 1L plastic bottles of milk used and discarded in Australia each year. That's enough 1L plastic bottles that if we were to lie them down end to end they would circle Australia 1.75 times EVERY MONTH!
I think Schulz's milk bottle venture could become a movement for change. Before you say bottles are too heavy, hard to pour, inconvenient blah, blah, blah. I bet you have no problem carrying, pouring from and recycling bottles of wine. After all milk in glass bottles isn't a new concept.
To help us eliminate plastic, check out our crowdfunding campaign via the link below!Sharing is caring, so please share this link with your networks so they too can be part of the solution!https://www.pozible.com/project/schulz-milk-in-glass

ONTARIO – Gowest Gold of Toronto has begun negotiations to treat gold ore at the Redstone mill belonging to Northern Sun Mining. The Bradshaw deposit is part of Gowest's Timmins gold project.
Gowest wants to process the Bradshaw bulk sample and pre-production mineralization at a rate of 500 t/d. The purchase of the facility, a long term lease, or another form of transaction are all to be examined. Gowest has offered to pay a fee to Northern Sun that will help offset the care and maintenance costs of the mill.
Maps, photos and a video of the Bradshaw mine are posted at www.GowestGold.com.

These are the notes I wrote for a talk at Nerdeast 2016 on running small science-fiction LARPS. Rather than spend a chunk of time to reformat this as a standalone article I'd rather publish this as a it stands and then cover the areas I'm particularly interested in as separate pieces. As it stands there is a reasonable pre-amble about science-fiction and general Larp theory to give a foundation to some of the later topics.
It's also written from a UK point of view so our rather 'keen' control of imitation firearms is addressed from that regards.
Hopefully the document as it stands will be still of interest to people.
They are reasonably complete for talk notes but there was some additional conversation which isn't captured here.
When setting out to write/manage/run a system, like with anything else, one should have a defining objective or mission statement for the system. This should form a Golden Concept which can be used to inform or make all other system decisions.
This article is predominantly written from an Larp point of view but it can be equally true for a table-top or CRPG.
