Woman burned, others die in panga attack … another in hospital after being shot
WINDHOEK – Two sisters died in a horrifying manner on Friday after a boyfriend of one of them repeatedly chopped them with a panga before slitting their throats at Omahenge village in Ohangwena Region.
The man committed suicide after his cowardly act, police confirmed.
In Windhoek, a 35-year-old man is on the run after he allegedly killed and burned his live-in girlfriend inside their shack at Namibia Nalitungwe informal settlement during the early hours of yesterday.
Last week Thursday, Walvis Bay resident Selma Uupindi, narrowly escaped death after being shot three times allegedly by an ex-boyfriend, a police constable in Kuisebmond.
These are latest incidents in the scourge of violence against women, which are on a worrying increase.
The suspect in the panga attack incident allegedly attacked the two sisters in the bush, as they walked towards the Oshaango-Eenhana main road.
Public Relations Officer of the Police in Ohangwena Abner Iitumba said the girlfriend of the suspect – with whom he has two children – was being escorted to the road, as she had to start a new job the following day.
Iitumba said the motive for the killing has not yet been established.
According to Iitumba, the deceased suspect allegedly first beat the girlfriend, aged 23, and slit her throat after she fell to the ground.
He then allegedly proceeded to chase and attack the elder sister, aged 32, whom he also beat up first and also slit her throat afterwards.
"He then proceeded to hang himself with a wire on a tree nearby where he committed the crime," said Iitumba.
According to Iitumba, the suspect earlier that week assaulted the mother of his children – identified as Ndamononghenda Tate Oshoati Nafuka - wooden stick, but the matter was not reported to the police.
The elder sister was identified as Martha Nafuka.
The sisters hailed from Omahenge village.
The deceased suspect was identified as the 29-year-old Samuel Enghono from the nearby Onandete village.
In the shack fire incident in Windhoek where a woman died, Khomas regional police crime investigation coordinator, Deputy Commissioner Abner Agas said the suspect, only identified as Simon, is on the run.
Agas said police were tracking his footprints which went into the direction of the mountains on the outskirts of Windhoek. By yesterday afternoon, the police were on the ground busy searching for the man.
The deceased was identified as Katrina Kasita, 38.
Agas said according to the neighbours the couple were heard fighting around 01h00 in the morning, with the woman calling out for help.
"It seems like nobody went. Around 04h00, the neighbours saw the shack was on fire and they thought they were both inside. They extinguished the fire and similarly called on the fire brigade for assistance," said Agas while adding the woman's remains were discovered in the shack, with an axe stuck in her neck.
At Walvis Bay, Uupindi narrowly escaped death after being shot three times by her ex-boyfriend, a police officer who is expected to appear in court today.
According to onlookers, Uupindi was allegedly shot while trying to flee from the suspect during an argument. She was shot in her abdomen and twice in her arm. The critically wounded Uupindi was then rushed to Windhoek after being stabilised at the Walvis Bay State Hospital.
Family members yesterday confirmed to New Era that she is currently receiving medical attention at a Windhoek hospital where she is in a stable condition.
According to the crime investigations coordinator for Nampol in Erongo, Deputy Commissioner Erastus Iikuyu, Uupindi registered an assault by threat case under the Domestic Violence Act 4/2003 against the suspect at Tutaleni police station on Wednesday.
It is not known whether the police followed up on the domestic violence case against the suspect, who eventually went on to shoot the victim with his service pistol the next day.
New Era heard that the suspect, who is stationed at the port police station at the entrance of Namport, allegedly reported for duty as usual where he was given his service pistol for his shift. He reportedly went looking for the victim and shot her around 16h30 in Tornyn Geserit Street in Kuisebmond.
According to Iikuyu, the suspect shortly after the shooting went back to the port police station and surrendered himself to his colleagues. (Story by Nuusita Ashipala, Eveline de Klerk and Selma Ikela)

Armani / Silos
Giorgio Armani announces Fabula by Charles Fréger, the new exhibition of Armani/Silos
Giorgio Armani is pleased to announce a new exhibition at Armani/Silos, devoted to the work of photographer Charles Fréger. Entitled Fabula, the extensive anthological endeavor documents the width and depth of the French photographer's ongoing research , as much encyclopedic as poetic , into different communities, the individuals who make them and the dress codes they adopt in order to be part of a group. The exhibition will open on January 12th during Milano Men's Fashion Week and will last until March 24th, 2019.nThe whole ground floor of Armani/Silos will act as a backdrop for over two hundred and fifty images, the first retrospective of such size and scope devoted to the French artist. Specimens of Fréger's wide-spanning photographic work, from the early Water Polo swimmers series of the year 2000 to more recent images taken in 2016, such as the Mardi Gras Indians series. The display will put the different groups of images in dialogue with one other creating a visual protocol where the photographic portraits and the uniforms coexist and the emphasis is placed on the increasing theatricality of the author's oeuvre. The selection includes portraits of the Finnish ice-skating team (Steps),images of young Sumo wrestlers (Rikishi),a document of European armies and their uniforms (Empire), images of Sikh soldiers (Sikh Regiment of India) and Jaipur elephants (Painted Elephants), to the seminal large series of Wilder Mann and then Yokainoshima, both dedicated to masked traditions in relation to rural life. Each community has its own code, but the driving principle behind the urge to express belonging through clothing is somehow common.,Fréger's pictures highlight such aspect. Adopting a stark and straight portraiture style, yet keeping an empathetic gaze onto his subjects, Charles Fréger explores the dress codes of groups both small and big, focusing on the outer strata clothing, masks they adopt. The photographer's quest is expansive: he starts from the small and local expanding his research over the years to reach a universal dimension. Be it the white swimming cap of the swimmer, or the ritual masks worn throughout the world – Europe, Japan, Central and Southern America – Fréger is triggered by the way humans deal with deeply felt fears and with the need, or will, to belong. Ultimately, his work builds a growing codification of signs, highlighting the power of dresses as a primal means of non-verbal communication. What makes his oeuvre so startling is the involvement of the photographer with the subjects. At times Charles Fréger takes active part in the masking and the dressing up, in order to fully understand what he is investigating. Such human effort translates into images of powerful honesty, giving back a captivating insight into the visual richness of mankind.
'The vitality of color is what caught my eye first, drawing my attention to the work of Charles Fréger. That color, however, is no mere visual feat: it is a depiction of human energy. As a fashion designer, I know clothing is charged with a great symbolic meaning: Fréger constantly reminds us of that, scavenging the deepest aspects of dressing up as a way of communicating. I am very happy to host such an exhibition at Armani/Silos," says Giorgio Armani.
'Exhibiting at the Armani/Silos is a chance to introduce my photographic series since 2000 in a very inspiring space. It feels like visualizing the works chapter by chapter, as if the sublime architecture of the Silos was giving the rhythm to the photographic exhibition. There's a sensation of time and evolution, a conversation with the rooms, the grey concrete walls and the precise lighting giving the best possible echo to the color of my photographs. An echo which is also at stake between the Armani silhouettes gracefully displayed and the uniforms, costumes and masquerades unfolded in the photographs,' says Charles Fréger.The artist was born in Bourges, France, in 1975, and graduated from the Rouen School of Art in 2000. His work focuses on the poetic and anthropological representation of social groups such as athletes, scholars and armed forces, with attention on what they wear, the uniform being the most external representation of the group itself. Fréger concentrates on exuberance as well as more modest situations. He has published numerous books and exhibited in major photography festivals, in several museums and galleries in Europe, Asia and the United States.

I know it has been a while since I last wrote. I am writing today because I was informed this morning that a client's pet died. I keep looking at my cat, not even a year old yet, and wondering at her, cherishing her, holding her a little closer. My client's dog was old, half toothless, blind in one eye…my client's family recused him. He was roughly treated in his younger years and my client's family made his last few years as comfortable as they could for him. It's a sad day for them. I ponder the impact of unconditional love on us given to us by our pets. I know a while ago, a couple of years at least, my therapist tried to get my then landlord to allow me a cat as a support animal. I also know how much richer and better my life has been since I picked out Piper from her litter mates. How much I've changed for the better just knowing that her warm little body and her ready purrs wait for me when I get home. Piper was with me when I was in a house fire 8 almost 9 weeks ago. She adjusted surprisingly well to the sudden upheaval, waking up in the middle of the night, being shoved into her cat carrier, being locked in an unfamiliar bathroom all night, the two (or was it three?) and a half weeks we spent at my Aunt's, and then moving into a brand new apartment. I still remember the way she used to curl up in the rug in front of my tv and wonder whether she remembers too.
Piper is my first cat that is all mine. Growing up we had cats but they were family cats. They belonged to all of us. Piper is mine. She knows me and I know her. It was hard for me when we were at my Aunt's, to listen to my Uncle get testy over what she is and isn't allowed to do. I get it. Their house, their rules. But she is so much a part of me it felt like a criticism of me. I didn't hate her for her natural behaviors and her personality, in fact while I was scared that we would be kicked out, I was also defensive of her. I was angry at my Uncle. This, getting defensive and taking care of my inner child, is something my therapist has tried to get me to do for my inner child practically since I started seeing her. So in a way my cat embodies that inner child part, the vulnerable dependent part, and I am reminded constantly to take care of it, treat it with kindness, play with it, love it, honor it, and cherish it.

Royal Collection Opens Dutch 17th-Century Landscapes Exhibition
The Queen's Gallery in London presents Dutch Landscapes, an exhibition of 42 works that draws on the Royal Collection's rich holdings of Dutch 'Golden Age' painting. By the 17th century, landscape painting was well established as a distinct art form and one in which Netherlandish artists excelled. Artists turned to the countryside and to the sea to convey a pride in their homeland – the newly formed Dutch United Provinces. While some painters looked to their native surroundings for subject matter, others found inspiration in the mountainous vistas and golden light of Italy. Exhibition on view 15 April – 9 October 2011.
Aelbert Cuyp, The Passage Boat, 1650s Royal Collection
The exhibition includes outstanding examples by the great masters of landscape, including Jacob van Ruisdael, Aelbert Cuyp, Jan van der Heyden and Meyndert Hobbema. The fine detail and meticulous finish of Dutch pictures appealed to British taste, and 34 of the works in the exhibition were acquired by George IV when Prince Regent between 1809 and 1820. The ability of Dutch artists to depict mood and emotion through landscape and the subject matter drawn from everyday life had a profound influence on the great British painters John Constable and JMW Turner.
The Queen's Gallery at Buckingham Palace is a permanent space dedicated to changing exhibitions of items from the Royal Collection, the wide-ranging collection of art and treasures held in trust by The Queen for the Nation.

Fellow Gamers,
During the 4 years of running the Angry Joe Show I attempted to start individual AJS Guilds for games that I was incredibly excited about, Guild Wars 2, Planetside 2, etc. Each time we did so our numbers swelled to massive levels, thousands of members in a matter of hours, even more within days. But each time its been difficult for me with all my other responsibilities as a one-man show to run the day to day operations of these Guilds. I watched them grow to influential and powerful levels for the short times they were active, then over time when I've had to move on to reviewing the next game for the Angry Joe Show they slowly dissipated into the annuals of that games history. Without my presence, without my continued support, without me helping run the day to day operations they would eventually fade away. That fact has pained me each time.
So, this time I've decided to go full-in and spare no expense to create what I've always intended for the Angry Army. A real permanent long term GAMING COMMUNITY, with all the important infrastructure a multi-game community needs. Where fans and like-minded gamers of all types can play together under a single banner. Where I can remain involved with weekly streaming events even after I move on to new Game Reviews. Angry Army Servers for us to play on. Periodic Community Tournaments and Prizes. A talent search for the best most skilled players to form competitive Angry Army teams that can be sent to complete in E-Sport Events. And with hopefully some luck and success eventually, an annual community meet-up in real life!
Today marks that day, the Launch of the brand New Angry Army, otherwise known as the AJSA!
Over the next few days, i'll put out a call to all able-bodied soldiers to take up arms, to fight as one on the fields of battle, for Honor and for Glory - separate we are powerful but together we are UNSTOPPABLE. We will storm the beaches, darken the sky with arrows, and cut down anything that stands in our way under a hail of gunfire. Imagine our might, as we fight for the integrity of the games we play, if we work to enhance them, to right their wrongs to help fix their deficiencies along with the community managers of each game. Using Amy contacts i've developed in the industry and having our AJSA actively participate in that games community, hopefully game developers will take notice of our specific wants and needs. From our combined feedback we can work to not only participate actively in these various game communities but to improve them!
Over the past month I have poured myself into creating this new site and making sure it has all the awesome features people have come to expect from the best most premier gaming communities! I have surrounded myself with passionate and determined officers who will be able to run the gaming communities day to day needs, where in I can oversee and make major decisions and participate in our regular events! Some of these people you know from the early days of my show like Tons0Fun or Oda Nobunaga, others are new faces who have helped me build this new community to the level it is today like Sgt.Ross, Delrith, and Mortraven. And of course all my current Commanders and Officers who have been carried over from previous individual incarnations of the Angry Army!
Together along with myself these people will form The Council. Who will govern and oversee the communities needs and health. They will then be on the search to find natural born leaders for Commander and Officer positions who can organize game events, moderate the forums, and manage the Angry Army day to day!
I hope you will consider Joining Us! Take a moment to review our Rules & Policies and if everything sounds good to you, sign up as soon as you can! See you there!
- Angry Joe

Cool ideas: Chickens!
8:06 PM | Posted by Kaplan Center for Health and Wellness
I'm speaking from experience on this one. If you like eggs, backyard chickens are great. They are easy to care for, amusing, cute, and fun to listen to. But the best part - an abundance of fresh eggs! Personally and professionally, I love eggs. They are an excellent protein source and they are high in nutrients.

Benefits of Property Management Accounting Software
Property ownership can be a burden or a pleasure, depending on the current situation. This business is cyclical. It requires a special ingenuity to make it profitable even through the downward trends or shaky market economies. Commercial real estate ventures have their own concerns around tenancy issues, but they are minimal compared to those faced by residential property managers.
Property management is not an industry that shows mercy to the unprepared. A seemingly inconsequential administrative oversight or billing error can lead to bigger mistakes and even larger penalties. It is best to avoid these unnecessary problems whenever possible. Operating planned communities and housing developments is no easy task, but the process can be made easier with a few tools. Efficient property management accounting software package can lessen the burden of residential community management.
Property Ownership Concerns
Owning any large scale property requires diligent oversight and effective management strategies. There are many daily activities that require a hands on approach. These include property taxes, landscape maintenance, resident or tenancy capacity, and zoning regulations. Each of these items requires expertise and finesse to manage in a timely manner. Likewise, none of them should be put on the back burner as they are all time sensitive. Consequences for late filings or improper notifications can be devastating and expensive.
One of the other primary concerns for property managers is the security of their inhabitants and the property itself. Effective security systems, appropriate insurance policies and other necessary precautions can address the security needs of the property. Other ongoing needs are more time consuming and require continuous monitoring. Property management, especially in residential communities, is one such concern that definitely requires regular attention if things are expected to operate smoothly.
Property Management Responsibilities
There are countless responsibilities that property management staff take ownership of on a daily basis. Routine accounting paperwork, lease applications, insurance filings, and other similar items can take up a large part of the day. Safety or community violations, such as leash laws or parking infractions are not fun to address, but must be dealt with on a daily basis. Even planning community events such as a Recycling Day are the responsibility of the community or property manager. Beyond the administrative duties, there are maintenance concerns to be addressed throughout the day as well. Accepting and processing maintenance requests from residents as well as addressing emergency maintenance situations also take time for property managers.
In virtually every season, landscape contracts will need to be acquired and managed. For instance, snow removal crews are often hired well in advance of the winter weather. These items cannot wait until they are needed for the procurement process to begin. Septic and water systems require regularly scheduled maintenance, and utility companies frequently need access to the property for meter reading, tree trimming, and other routine tasks. Property managers and their staff assistants should be kept abreast of these schedules from third party companies so they can notify residents and avoid inconveniences whenever possible.
Delegating Property Management Duties
The arena of residential property management is large. Effective property managers delegate responsibility to capable employees or manage outsourcing contracts to reputable third party companies. This approach helps distribute the workload so all the small details are taken care of and the residents are able to enjoy a community that is organized and efficient.
There are many other ways that self managed associations and association management companies can decrease their manual workload while streamlining their business practices. Multiple software solutions and virtual assistants are designed to help property management become an efficient rather than a cumbersome process.
Property Management Solutions
Collecting homeowners association (HOA) or condominium association (COA) fees has been a historically difficult, not to mention extremely time consuming task to manage. This was in the time before streamlining property management accounting software became available for modern managers to utilize. Now, with a few simple data entry keystrokes, one of the greatest property management tasks can be resolved almost instantly.
Fee collection and violation tracking are two of the major factors for property managers to consider when seeking new technologies to make their jobs a little easier, but there are also other tasks that can be fully automated today. A software manager is obviously a more cost effective strategy than hiring additional staff. Advanced property management accounting software programs are fully customizable and can be tailored to the unique needs of virtually any property.
If you are ready to finally streamline all your property management needs, call Condo Manager at (800) 626-1267 or request a demo today. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff are able to answer any questions. We'll personalize the perfect property management accounting packages for your specific property.

1099 m. |
3606 ft.
Translation: Peak of the large rounded hill
Pronuncation: skor a vaim
On a sunny morning, half past nine, Frank and I reached the end of the road in Glen Nevis and parked our car. Putting on our gear we looked around, glimpsed views of the surrounding summits through the lifting clouds and finally started the tour, heading into Glen Nevis. We crossed the river by means of the wire bridge, then crossed the Allt Coire a'Mhail below the Steall Waterfall and picked up the path leading into the northern corrie of An Gearanach. This path heads up into the corrie over terrain characterized by gravel, grass and slabs. Higher up in the corrie it zigzags until after one final right turn the ridge is reached leading steeply onwards to An Gearanach. Here the view opened up.
The weather conditions being as they were the Ring of Steall, Ben Nevis, Carn Mor Dearg, the Aonachs and the southern flank of the Grey Corries sprang into full view. Alas, the summit had to be gained and so we continued up the last 300m to the summit of An Gearanach. A snack replenished exhausted reserves of carbohydrates and then we headed on to An Garbanach. This section of the ring provided most of the fun as scrambling goes and was far more interesting than the Devil's ridge. All too soon we reached the more spacious summit of Stob Coire a'Chairn from where our eyes explored the eastern part of the Mamores with Binnein Mor and Na Gruagaichean standing out as the major attractions.
And on we went over some bump in the ridge before we had to tackle the north-east ridge of Am Bodach which is really quite steep, rocky and has some sections strewn with scree. But steep terrain allows quick gain of height and in no time at all we banged into the summit of this third Munro of the day. No real rest here. On the way to Sgur an Iubhair we met a dozen elderly hikers who were doing the ring in the opposite direction and who seemed to be enjoying themselves with, perhaps, the exception of one or two who gave the impression of being hard-pressed to keep up with the front-runners of the group. Never mind.
At the top of Sgur an Iubhair Frank and I took in another ten minutes of views and recalled our tour of Mullach nan Coirean and Stob Ban done in 1998 together with Stephanie on a warm September day. Then the rucksacks were back on our backs again and we headed for the last Munro of the hike, Sgurr a'Mhaim. But before that final summit lay the Devil's ridge, supposedly the most interesting feature of the whole ring. For me it did not live up to the expectations raised by the SMC guidebook. An easy stroll along an admittedly narrow ridge with one or two sections which needed a bit of handwork. Ok, not too bad, but a piece of cake in summer conditions. Under snow the traverse is certainly a different kind of story!
The final steepening up to Sgurr a'Mhaim was strenuous but we very soon got to the cairn in the lee of which we rested, quite well-protected from the wind which began to pick up. Thunderstorms developing over Ben Nevis (Later we learned from the TV that a hiker had been killed by a lightning on Ben Oss that day). With energy restored to our legs by means of sandwiches and the prospect of a good soaking should Ben Nevis not drain the water from the towering cumulus clouds we quickly made our way down the easy north-west ridge of Sgurr a'Mhaim which we followed all the way – even down the very steep grassy sections of the lower part of the ridge – down to the flat section west of point 483. We contoured around this knoll on its north side and strolled down occasionally steepish grass slopes to the Water of Nevis which we reached at the end of the flats right before the gorge.
We thanked providence for sparing us from having to descend the steep gras in a thunderstorm and waded through the refreshingly cold Water of Nevis to gain the other bank of the river. From there we walked back to the parking with the sun shining through the trees. Frank and I had spent a truly beautiful day out on the hills and I developed some nice sunburns on my arms and calves as I discovered later that evening. A perfect day!
Description Sgurr a' Mhaim is the highest mountain in the western half of the Mamores and it stands in a fine position above Glen Nevis , a prominent feature of the view up the glen from Fort William. Like Stob Ban, its upper slopes are covered with quartzite boulders which give the mountain a pale grey appearance. The finest feature of the mountain is its south ridge leading to the two Tops, Stob Choire a' Mhail and Sgor an Iubhair. This ridge, known as the Devil's Ridge, is very narrow and in winter has a decidedly Alpine appearance.The ascent is most easily made from Achriabhach in Glen Nevis. Follow the stalker's path towards Coire a' Mhusgain for a short distance and then strike directly up the north-west shoulder of Sgurr a' Mhaim which gives a long steady climb to the summit, at first up grassy slopes and then on quartzite boulders and scree. There is a path for most of the way. Instead of descending by the same route, go south along the narrow ridge to Stob Choire a' Mhail. Care is needed, particularly in winter, at the narrow part of the ridge, which is quite exposed. At the col before Sgor an Iubhair a stalker's path leads down in steep zigzags to the col at the head of Coire a' Mhusgain. Return to Glen Nevis by the path down this corrie.

Dusting – how to find the right product for you
Dusters, gloves and cloths for all your household needs
Dusting in the home is a laborious matter, because many affected areas are difficult to access. From experience, plenty of dust accumulates on cupboards, lamps and shelves; if you attempt to remove the dust with the wrong tool, it will just be thrown into the air and not actually removed. Here are some of the most effective products!
For difficult-to-access areas
Microfiber dust gloves are perfect for cleaning shelves, display cases, chests of drawers, sideboards and similar. Thanks to the shape of the glove, you can effortlessly reach areas which you otherwise would have had to clear or which you would not have been able to access at all. They are also particularly well suited to radiators or dashboards in a car. UNGER's microfiber hand gloves are extremely effective thanks to their dual-sided technology: you can use the blue side damp or dry for universal cleaning; the green side allows you to simply pick up large amounts of dust thanks to the microfiber fringes. Of course, the gloves can also be washed and thus have a long service life.
For sensitive surfaces
A duster made of lambs' wool is a real dust magnet and binds dust thanks to the oils in the lambs' wool. A duster made of lambs' wool is perfectly suited to sensitive surfaces. When combined with the flexibility of a telescopic pole, angled and high-up corners and edges can be accessed without any problems at all.
For large surfaces and lots of dust
The microfiber duster and the microfiber feather duster not only pick up dust with their fine microfibers; they also capture it securely. A microfiber duster and a microfiber feather duster can pick up 15 times or 20 times as much dust respectively compared to a traditional cotton duster. The static charge prevents the dust from being thrown around. The two flexible dusters are thus particularly well suited to larger surfaces such as cupboards, shelves, display cases and intricate objects. The removable microfiber sleeve can be washed separately in the washing machine. When combined with a telescopic pole, you get a perfect tool designed for working from the safety of the ground. No more tedious and dangerous ladders!
The microfiber cloth for all surfaces
The Universal Microfiber Cloth is a top-quality cloth for all surfaces. The microfiber cloth stands out not just because it can absorb extremely high levels of dirt, but also because it can be used both dry and damp.
You can find out more about the advantages of microfiber and how it works here.
Equipped with our professional products for your own home, you will take your dust removing skills to the next level!

Atheists, have you ever loved anybody unconditionally?
Christians believe that God is Love. And when anybody experience loving somebody who does not deserve to be loved, somebody who does not have the capacity to love him back, somebody from whom you cannot expect any thing good in return, then the presence of God is in him enabling him to love perfectly. Could this be a proof of God's existence?

God is real and He is good.
Anyone who wants to debate with me personally can.
- Boris BumpleyLv 51 decade ago
Are you saying that you have the ability to love someone unconditionally and I do not? Those words don't sit well with me, sorry, pal. I seriously beg to differ. You've made a lot of unverifiable assumptions.
This doesn't prove anything about God because you start by believing that "God is love" and therefore presumably real and then you try to use that to prove that God is real. You're going in a circle, spinning your wheels going nowhere. That's why it's called circular reasoning.

No this is not a proof of god's existence. Human's have a great capacity for love (and hate). Does not prove that there is a god.
- ?Lv 41 decade ago
Christians do not believe in love. Look at history, look at this board do you feel love coming from them? Their love is a selfish love promoting only their fragile attempts to prove they are in their God's will.
I am an atheist and I accept everyone unconditionally. When I do love I love unconditionally. When you compare the biblical examples of the love of your god my love is more pure and real. You don't have to try and prove I exist.

There are tons of wonderful literature and media to fantasize on this subject, but the warning label reads"....put your faith in no man...". In the perfect world you might find a temporary relationship that has all the chemistry, but nothing on the planet is unconditional. There are conditions and boundaries. No two people think the same or can't control each others thoughts. The hope is you can find someone to share your days with that you can be compatible and comfortable with.

I love my boyfriend unconditionally, I love my dog and cats unconditionally. No this doesn't prove the existence of God. It proves that my boyfriend and I have worked at our relationship over the years to get to the point where we can love each other unconditionally and that my dog and cats are innocent enough to not provoke conditions on my love for them.
- mo in the middleLv 71 decade ago
Most parents can answer this question in the affirmative. Even the atheist ones.
I'm not sure how a human emotion proves the existence of any god.
ADDED: Don't Christians also believe that god killed almost all of creation in a flood, and that god killed all of the firstborns in Egypt? It's hard for me to reconcile love and murder.
- Alex RLv 41 decade ago
Yes I have loved my father unconditionally, even after I wasn't dependent on him. So that isn't real proof.
Love is an emotion like any other: like sadness or anger. In other words, people make it supernaturalm because we can't justify when its lost.
- H.u.SLv 51 decade ago
"Love me or I'll throw you into hell for eternity"
Doesn't sound very unconditional. I'm not incapable of love, but at the very least I do need to be able to have positive evidence for the existence of someone I'm supposed to love. You know, something a little more substantial than a thousand year old book filled with contradictory nonsense.
- 1 decade ago
I am not a parent at the moment, but I know in my heart that whenever I become one, I'll love my children no matter what. I'll probably become an alcoholic if they become a fundamentalist Christian, but I'll still love em. Unconditional love has nothing to do with anything supernatural.
- skeptikosLv 41 decade ago
to answer your question yes I have loved people unconditionally like my parents, and no that does not mean that God exists.

Right now, it's actually Sunday at 4pm. I sit in my private study room in the library, papers scattered, books open, coffee, water, pens.....
But I'm scheduling this to post at 9am on Tuesday. Right now I am sitting before the bar exam, reading the first essay question. I probably have a huge knot in my stomach. I am probably holding my breath, probably clenching my jaw. I hope these thoughts transcend, and bring me the peace and focus I need to pass the hardest bar examination in the country:
You know you are capable of passing this test. You have spent 20 years dreaming of the day when you become an attorney. Don't allow stress, anxiety and outside influences (like the guy next to you who probably smells and is chomping on gum and shaking his leg) to come between you and the biggest dream you've ever had. Allow your mind to open, see the question and the facts. Let it speak to you. You can answer any question they ask you. You can do this. Breath. Think. The bar exam is not about excellence, it's about competence. And you are more than competent. Do this, do it so you never have to do it again!
Any positive thoughts, prayers, messages are welcome! The bar exam is three days long, 6 hours each day. I'll be staying downtown at a very nice hotel so that I don't have to fight traffic or put anyone on the road at risk since I am rather preoccupied.
It's been a long, difficult journey. It's time for all of the work to pay off.

Cover of the angel
Here we go again. Each time Depeche Mode releases a new album I go on a rant about either the cover art or the first single, both of which can be quite awful. It's been quiet since the release of Exciter five years ago, but as the new album cover for eagerly awaited Playing The Angel was released today I cannot let it pass. As some would put it, the sweetest perfection.
This time the first single called Precious is actually quite good, sounds like Enjoy the silence but 15 years later. But the cover… This could very well be the worst Depeche cover ever, even slightly worse than the cover for Barrel of a gun from 1997. Get used to the image before the release in October 17.

INSIDERS GUIDE TO... Calne
PUBLISHED: 15:55 28 September 2011 | UPDATED: 20:04 20 February 2013
Sandy Thwaites looks at why this small town has so much to offer
Pork and Wool: Historically, Calne is probably best known for its woollen and pork processing industries. The Harris pork processing factory became the towns biggest employer until it eventually closed in 1983. The latter connections explain the bronze pig and sheep sculptures that stand in the town today.
More recently the town has become famous for motorbikes. At the annual Rotary Motorcycle Meet in July, thousands of riders from all over the UK, bring their vintage and modern-day motorbikes into the centre of Calne to show them off, chat and compare notes.
More recently, the area hit headlines across the world when a rare 1611 King James Bible was discovered at a parish church in the nearby village of Hilmarton. The Bible had been sitting on a shelf at St Laurence Church for hundreds of years, and it was only when villagers started researching it that they realised what they had discovered. It turns out to be one of fewer than 200 original copies still in existence, and it is hoped that it will be on display in the church by the end of this year.
Nestled on the edge of the Downs, Calne offers quick access to beautiful countryside and walks. Local landmarks include the Cherhill White Horse and Lansdown Monument, and Avebury isnt far away.
Another more unusual monument in the area is a statue from 1838 of Maud Heath, which is erected on a high column and stands in the middle of a dairy pasture on a bridlepath above Calne. It marks part of the route where legend has it that Maud made her fortune carrying eggs to Chippenham market. You can sit there, by Maud, today and enjoy the tranquillity of the Wiltshire countryside.
Cycling is big in Calne too - there is a 7 mile flat trail (National cycle route #11) suitable for beginners, which starts on Station Road and takes riders along the disused railway track to Chippenham. In addition, the quiet and hilly country lanes around the Calne villages are a magnet for the lycra-clad brigade.
The Castlefields Canal and River Park project is a charitable initiative to improve the Castlefields Park area, and the Calne branch of the Wilts and Berks Canal. It also includes management of a River Marsden restoration project, raising the river bed to improve flow and recreating the original flood plain. Established in 2001, the work is being carried out by both professionals, together with individual volunteers, and the re-sowing of the meadow, the Fitness Trail and improvements to the access of Castle House Garden are now complete.
Festival Time: Calne has its own Festival of Music & Art which will be in its 37th year (7-16 October) with fittingly 37 musical and arts events across a wide variety of genres, over the course of 10 days. In addition, the town has held a very popular country music festival every July for the last 22 years which includes live music, free camping, charity and Western stalls. And, for the first time this year, there was also a mini, one-day Calnefest rock festival at Bentley Fields at the end of July.
Movies: The advent of Moviola community cinema means that cinema buffs are not forgotten in and around Calne. This community association has grown fast with regular screenings in three venues in the vicinity of Calne Beversbrook sports hall, Calne Town Hall and Hilmarton village.
The Heritage Centre is well worth a visit to find more about the history of Calne, and The Millennium Library is a real boon, especially as you can reserve books online for picking up either from there or from the travelling library that goes around the villages.
The New Wine shop in Calnes High Street is sole supplier of Calnes first wine from the new Maud Heath Vineyard, one of very few vineyards in the county. Their first crop of grapes last year produced a light, crisp ros wine called Bramble Hill (the old name for Bremhill) Ros, and has already achieved English Quality Wine status.
Calnes Spice of Bengal restaurant is one of the towns worst-kept secrets, having been awarded the South West award for Best Indian Food by the Bangledesh Caterers Association in 2010.
Calne Farmers Market, on the second Saturday of each month, offers everything from Artisan Bakehouse breads and local farm shop meats to fresh fruit and veg, and plants.
Calne has its town Leisure Centre offering all types of sports activities and fitness classes, climbing wall and swimming pool. Its also a great venue for childrens parties and inflatable swimming fun sessions.
On the northern edge of town, the Beversbrook sports complex offers cricket, football, boxing and badminton as well as the Moviola cinema screenings mentioned earlier.
A couple of miles down the road towards Chippenham is Bowood House where children under 12 can spend the whole day playing in their superb Adventure Playground and developing their imagination.
Sarah Jones, a management consultant, has lived on the outskirts of Calne for five years. She says that surprisingly for a small town, Calne has some hidden gems for fashion and beauty. She recommends Juniper in Church Street for a relaxing shopping experience.
Theyve got some great brands like as Fenn Wright Mason, Betty Jackson and Noli, Lysgaard and White Stuff, and they are brilliant at helping you choose the complete outfit with a good range of accessories too.
Its also well worth wandering around the back streets, where you can find lovely peaceful corners like The Courtyard which boasts a hairdressers, beauty salon and a great little caf. For charity shop aficionados, there are as many as three in the one street (Phelps Parade).
Local McTimoney chiropractor, Graeme Cooper, has two children, Georgina (14) and Jamie (12), says: Its a really friendly town and everything is within easy walking distance so the kids dont have to rely on us for lifts, which is a bonus all-round.
I play lots of golf with Jamie and we are spoilt for choice in the area with the Bowood Hotel, Spa & Golf resorts championship golf course just down the road and North Wilts Golf Club over in Bishops Cannings.
Georgina likes to do Zumba classes (the latest Latin-inspired, dance fitness craze) with her friends at the Town Hall. Jamie recommends the BMX bowl by the cycle track in Calne,

As the investigation into the horrific murder of Jamal Khashoggi continues, some have begun pointing out how strange it is that his death is the one that has put Saudi Arabia on the defensive, and not the war in Yemen.
The Khashoggi affair has dominated not only headlines, but has already begun transforming the international political landscape in subtle ways. Turkey is leveraging the investigation to re-normalize relations with the U.S. and Europe; U.S. Senators are beginning to pressure Trump into re-thinking the relationship with Saudi; businesses are beginning to publicly distance themselves from Saudi.
Those seeking justice for Khashoggi are hoping that there is a veritable link to crown prince Mohammed bin Salman, who is thought to be the one ultimately behind the murder.
But bin Salman is already tangibly connected to the medieval siege of Yemen, responsible for tens of thousands of brutal murders and millions more at risk of famine. He is the one who ordered the Saudi-led coalition's entrance in Yemen, and he is the one who oversaw their war strategy, which involved wiping Yemen's agricultural production and local economy off the face of the Earth before imposing a blockade.
Quantifying the Difference in Coverage
Before Saudi forces assassinated Khashoggi, they dropped a missile on a school bus full of children in Yemen. They killed 51 people, including 40 children.
Tallying the total number of Google results for each story, Khashoggi's death and the school bus attack, offers an instructive if cursory understanding of the impact each event has had on the world's consciousness.
Searching for 'Jamal Khashoggi' produces, at the time of writing, 63,800,000 results. Compare this to searching for the Yemen school bus attack.
This search only yields 10,600,000 results. A more specific search for Yemen bus attack yields only about 3,000,000.
At a glance, the Khashoggi story has received about six times more coverage than the deadly school bus attack. The bombing was no accident either: there is every sign a missile was guided to hit a school bus. This is because the coalition initially defended as a "legitimate military target," before offering to conduct an internal investigation, and forensic investigations revealed that a laser-guided GBU-12 Paveway II bomb was used to conduct the attack.
In fact, there is mounting evidence that Saudi's war strategy in Yemen is to intentionally deprive and starve the people of Yemen to force the coalition's adversaries, the Houthis, to the negotiating table. While the people of Yemen are starving, the Houthis have so far not come to the table.
Comparing these two stories directly is not intended to quantify the worth of each tragedies by body count, and by extension, glossing over the fact that Saudi assassinated a high-powered dissident. Rather, it illustrates that Khashoggi's death has rattled the world more, and elicited more signs of empathy and solidarity than the war in Yemen.
Whose Death is Most Impactful?
Droves of countries, media outlets and people around the world standing with the oppressed and targeted has forced Saudi onto the back foot, but why is the war in Yemen effectively business as usual?
Once it became clear Khashoggi was murdered on Saudi orders, Germany's Angela Merkel announced that Germany would be suspending arms sales to the country, arms that would have likely been used against Yemeni people. Merkel was silent after the bomb hit the school bus in Saada, Yemen, letting German arms flow to Saudi.
Although many U.S. and European companies withdrew from Saudi's financial conference intended to attract foreign investment, arms sales to support Saudi's war effort has not been faltered. Those arms are still flowing steadily into Saudi, which are then used in Yemen.
Evidently, there isn't enough pressure on world leaders to withdraw their support for the war in Yemen when Yemenis die, only when important Saudis die. That is a moral failing.
On the same day Turkey's Recep Erdogan addressed members of his party, the AKP, the U.N. announced that 12 million people in Yemen are at serious risk of famine. That's roughly half the population of the country.
Mark Lowcock, the head of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), spelled out the stakes in a tweet, saying "There is now a clear and present danger of an imminent and great big famine engulfing #Yemen: much bigger than anything any professional in this field has encountered during their working lives."
The lives of Yemen's people are simply more disposable than the lives of well-connected people like Jamal Khashoggi. But his tragic death has drawn more attention to the fact that Saudi's war in Yemen can only continue as long as leaders in the U.S. and Europe continue signing off on it.
Perhaps Khashoggi's death will create enough momentum that politicians think twice before supporting Saudi.
But even if this happens, know that it was not, and never has been, the bodies of Yemeni civilians piling up and the famine or cholera outbreaks that swayed decision makers: these bodies have always been considered part of the 'cost of doing business,' with Saudi Arabia.

The light commercial vehicle (LCV) market is noticing significant growth as a result of an increase in home delivery services, research has suggested.
According to figures from the Department for Transport (DfT), LCV traffic is predicted to double between 2010 and 2040. Data also suggests that every one in 10 vehicles on the road is now an LCV, a sizeable increase from 15 years ago, something that has been driven by the growth in the home delivery market.
As more people shop online, enjoying the ease with which all manner of things can be delivered directly to their door, it is likely that the van market will continue to boom, something the motor industry will look to respond to. Dealerships and garages may want to consider incorporating LCVs into their business model, but those that do must remember that they will need to update their motor trade insurance policy accordingly to ensure they are covered to work on this particular type of vehicle.
A report by the RAC Foundation found that 72 per cent of British adults shopped online last year, up from 53 per cent five years earlier. Meanwhile, between 2002 and 2012, the number of vans increased by 29 per cent to 3.3 million.
The report follows on from figures released by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, which showed that van registrations were up by 14.6 per cent in March at 50,064 units. In total 79,917 have been registered in the first three months of 2014, a 16 per cent increase on the previous year.

text: I love NBC's "The Office." I especially love Dwight K. Schrute. If you're familiar with the opening credits, then you may recall the repeating scene of Dwight destroying a credit card using his paper shredder. In this case, the act was used for dramatic effect, but it's true that this tactic works--given that your shredder is "man enough." But what other options are there? With credit and identity theft on the rise, it's imperative that consumers know some simple but effective techniques for destroying cards that have been closed or replaced. And if you've ever tried to destroy a credit card with your bare hands, you know it can be difficult. So here are the two best ways to make sure your old cards never fall into the hands of credit thieves.

Bureau of policy analysis extends the territory of its research. After studies in Poltava, Sumy and Kharkov regions, now it's turn of the Donetsk region.
As we know from our experience, dishonest organizers of government purchases try to hide thoroughly results of their "work". However, some machinations "lie on the surface". Thus we could easily find fraud of municipal employees of Donetsk.

I know Monty Don claims that his wife Sarah 'designed' these plant supports but I'm sure I saw them somewhere else before he featured them on Gardeners' World a couple of years ago.
LP cut lengths of rebar for me (25th June - the materials for the metal fence are here too).
Bending them was fairly easy and they work really well propping up large perennials. One day, I might even be organised enough/have time (hollow laugh) to settle down in autumn or winter and paint them all with Hammerite.
It has its critics, but I like Crocosmia 'Lucifer'

Love these inks, so bright and cover nicely.
When I ordered my stamp set and ink pad I was mistakenly sent the wrong color ink. I sent an email to the Altenew support address and they responded right away. They quickly sent the Razzleberry Ink and told me I could keep the other ink pad as a gift. So I tried the 2 colors using the the Calming Reverie Stamp Set, Die, and Mask Bundle seeing as the 2 inks were in the pink family. I loved the 2 colors, Razzleberry and Pinkalicious, with this set!! They were so pretty together!!
nice darker pink ink to use

Bands performing on the day include The Basement Boys, a year ten group comprising Marti, Tom and Oliver and Cameron, while Verge of Frenzy are another band with the line up including Charlie, Mikey and Chris.
