Panchen Lama makes his 'political debut' in Tibet: Report
June 17, 2010
Press Trust of India
Jun 16, 2010
Beijing -- Twenty-year-old Panc-hen Lama, being
projected by China as the Dalai Lamas successor,
has made his "political debut" by making a maiden
address at a prominent monastery in Tibet, the state media said on Tuesday.
The 11th Panchen Lama, Bainqen Erdini Qoigyijabu,
addressed for the first time a congregation at
Tashilhunpo Monastery in Tibet, the designated
home of successive Panchen Lamas since 14th
century. Qoigyijabu was appointed by China as the
11th Panchen Lama repudiating the designation of
six-year-old Gedhun Choekyi Nyima for the same
post by Dalai Lama in 1995, took his seat at the
Tashilhunpo Monastery in Shigatse on Monday. He
took his seat nearly 15 years after his
appointment and addressed a gathering of monks.
Chinese state television CCTV projected it as a
"political debut" by the young monk to take over
mantle of high seat of Tibetan Buddhism without
referring to Dalai Lama, who is on exile in
India. China considers Dalai Lama as a
separatist, colluding with anti-China forces to
separate Tiber from the country.
"The monastery is the home base of Panchen Lama.
Though he doesnt live there most of the time,
the close connection makes it appropriate for him
to preach there," the CCTV report said. The Lama lives mostly in Beijing.
"With the strong support of the (Chinese)
government and believers he is expected to play a
bigger role for modern China," a TV reporter covering the event said.
The young monks address at Tashilhunpo Monastery
built in 1447 by the First Dalai Lama for Panchen
Lama, regarded as the second in command of the
Tibetan Buddhist remained home for successive Panchen Lamas.
The successive Dali Lamas lived Potala Palace in
Lhasa. "It is a precious movement. Accompanied by
monks walked into the lobby (of the monastery) he
elaborated on the essence three principle aspects
of the path, the classic by Kampa the founder of
the Galax school," the TV report said.
His address at the monastery was being projected
as a major event as it marks the "formal" take
over to the top seat. China, while projecting him
as the real Panchen Lama, also recently
revealed that Nyima, who along with his family
were imprisoned after his name was announced by
Dalai Lama, was leading a normal life as a common Tibetan.

Between the time change and the Benadryl, I'm feeling a lot of Melvin-envy this morning. The little guy has the right idea.
Gotta keep going though; I'm still way behind! I think it was 2 weeks ago that Pam and I went back up to Quilter's Inn--had to see the shop sample Kathy made of Flight of Fancy. As is often the case, I like her version way more than mine. She used wool for the pears and cherries, which I really love. How's this for embarrassing...I asked where she got her letters, as they seemed vaguely familiar...ummm...she used my book!
And yes, they do have kits!
Meanwhile, back in the studio, it's beginning to look a bit like Christmas--unlike outside, which looks (insert sneeze here) a lot like Spring!

Halifax Regional Police are investigating whether a firearm found near where a pizza delivery driver was shot is the weapon used to kill him.
Donald Chad Smith, a 27-year-old from Windsor Junction, was found outside of 15 Joseph Young St. in Highfield Park just before 9:30 p.m. on Saturday suffering from a single gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
On Sunday night, police say investigators recovered a firearm in the wooded area behind apartment buildings at nearby Farthington Place.
"We are not releasing any other information other than to say it was a firearm," said police spokesman Const. Brian Palmeter. "We are currently in the process of trying to determine if the weapon was involved or connected to the homicide."
Police are also trying to locate a red, full-size SUV with chrome rims, similar to an Escalade. Police say the vehicle was seen driving around the area around the time of the shooting, with loud music on.
"At this point, we don't know if there's a connection with this vehicle," Palmeter said. "It was seen driving in the area right before the shooting and it was not seen afterwards."
Smith was delivering for Panada Pizza, where he just started on a part-time basis. He was shot outside the apartment complex before making the delivery.
Police say the order was called in from an outdoor payphone on nearby Highfield Park Drive between Joseph Young Street and Burnside Drive.
It's still unknown to police the identity of the person who made that call and whether it's connected to the case.

"These days... people may see five, ten or more tigers, and often with close-up views," says Dr. Will Weber.
Ann Arbor, MI (PRWEB) April 01, 2012
Travelers seeking the best places to see Tigers in India have reason to be optimistic this year. Wildlife officials and local naturalists report most tigresses in the great reserves of central India are either pregnant or have cubs. 2011 was also a good year for tiger survival and reproduction.
JOURNEYS INTERNATIONAL of Ann Arbor, Michigan, has been offering India Tiger safaris for more than a decade. Director Dr. Will Weber notes that when the program started most people caught at least a glimpse of a tiger, but maybe only once or twice. "These days in the course of a 10-day tiger safari people may see five, ten or more tigers, and often with close-up views", he notes. "This is partially due to increasing skill and knowledge of the guides, but there are more tigers."
In 2012 and 2013 JOURNEYS is planning new wildlife safaris specifically focusing on some of the famous and emerging sites for tigers and other wildlife of India. In November, JOURNEYS' "Rajasthan Royal Wildlife Safari" explores the famous Ranthambore National park and several lesser known parks and reserves in north central India. In February 2013, JOURNEYS'"Tigers of Assam and the Sunderbans" focuses on the vast Sunderbans delta of West Bengal, the Tadoba Tiger Reserve, and Kaziranga National park in Assam.
JOURNEYS also offers individual private arrangements to visit the central India reserves of Panna, Bandhavgarh, and Kanha, all of which are reporting increases in tiger populations this year. In addition, travelers will learn that other species of large mammals have been successfully reintroduced into preserves and parks where they had been eliminated. The Gaur, or Indian Bison, once again roams Bandhavgarh and the Asiatic Blackbuck, a kind of antelope, now thrives in Kanha National Park. There are plans to re-introduce the Asiatic Cheetah to Kuno Palpur National Park in Madhya Pradesh.
Few good and current guidebooks to finding Indian wildlife exist. The key to finding the rare birds and animals of India is traveling with an experienced naturalist. Unlike the big game of Kenya and Tanzania which has lost most fear of humans through decades of protection, Indian animals are still wary and unaccustomed to well-meaning tourists equipped with cameras rather than guns. Access to many of the parks is difficult and advance reservations or permission may be required.
"If you know where, how and when to look, you will certainly find pleasant surprises," says Avi Sakhrel, noted Indian birder, naturalist and wildlife guide who leads many JOURNEYS India wildlife tours. "The Indian conservation community is very pleased to see positive results of efforts to save our wildlife. Even some of the lesser known parks now offer regular big cat sightings."
Sakhrel notes that it is possible to see Tigers year round, but generally the best viewing conditions in most areas are in the dry season from November to April. He also notes that while there are new accommodations for tourists near some of the parks, increasing wildlife interest on the part of Indian and international travelers means reservations at the best-sited lodges often fill months in advance.
The total population of Bengal Tigers is probably still under 2,000. A nationwide census carried out in 2011 estimated a total of 1,706 up from 1,411 from the previous count in 2007. Using modern techniques like camera traps, tiger populations have been documented in some areas where they were only hypothetical inhabitants. Camera traps identified 14 Tigers in Manas National Park of Assam on the border of Assam. Conservationists had feared that insurgent activity a few years back had killed all of the tigers, but they have returned.

They will make communities safer by cutting crime and link their police forces more closely to the people they ser ve. PCCs will also hold the local chief constable to account for the deliver y and per formance of the force. The introduction of PCCs will mean for the first time the public will be able to directly vote for an individual to represent their community's policing needs.

(Windsor, Ontario, Canada)
I let one of my three Shih Tzus out for a quick bathroom break before bed. Being's the weather has been a bit chilly at night - I left the patio door open with just the screen door closed.
After being outside for about 10 minutes my dog began to bark violently (which he never does). When I went to the Patio, there sitting atop of the fence, was an Opossum no more then 5 feet from me and the dog.
I took my leaf rake and gently probed him along. Once I got him to move he simply lowered himself to the first rug of the other side of the fence and I could hear him begin to scurry off.
How do I know if he was just a lone passer through or he has set up house somewhere in my yard or my house. There are no holes in and around my house and my garage door is seldom if ever open.
So I am thinking if he is my issue the only place he could find a way in is maybe the attic but there is a full blown Trailer Park in my backyard so I am going to assume he has taken up residence there and only visits my small garden when looking for a Midnight snack.
Do I need to take precaution and attempt to rid the neighborhood of this guy or live and let live.
I just don't want any one of my 3 small dogs having a confrontation with him.
Hi Peter, thanks for sending us your report of your Opossum sighting.
I don't think a Possum poses a danger to your dogs, they do snarl and show their teeth when threatened, but then they avoid confrontation by "playing possum" and pretending to be dead until the danger passes!
We have the occasional Possum which spends the winter under our concrete back steps, so my guess would be that he / she may find a sheltered spot in your yard where it can hide and survive the winter.
Hope you don't mind, I added a picture of a Possum on a fence!

The actress talks to Oprah Winfrey about her recent candid interview and her ex-husband
In a new interview with Oprah Winfrey Wednesday, Jennifer Aniston continues to open up about her love life – past and present.
When asked about her candid interview with Vogue, and its cover line calling Angelina Jolie's past behavior "really uncool," Aniston says she was merely responding to the reporter's question. "I basically just answered it as honestly as I could," Aniston says on The Oprah Winfrey Show, airing Thursday.
The actress has kinder words for ex-husband Brad Pitt, saying, "He's done some amazing things in the last couple of years. So I just think he's doing great."
And she doesn't seem to have any feelings of competition with her ex, whose movie, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, is opening the same day her upcoming film, Marley and Me.
"We all want our movie to do well … Can we have a tie?" she quips.
As for her romantic life, she echoes her comments to Vogue. "I've been unbelievably lucky in love," she tells Winfrey. "It just might not look the way it s supposed to look at this point."
Aniston also opens up about John Mayer – and addresses those pregnancy rumors – on Thursday's show.

22 Aug Three Reasons SOAR is Needed to Secure Healthcare IoT Medical Devices
By Tom Young, Executive Vice President of Worldwide Sales
In his published research, "Evolving IoT Security Risks Demand New Approaches from Healthcare Delivery Organizations," ID G00355342, Gartner Analyst, Gregg Pessin, provides key insights into the profound impact Internet of Things (IoT) medical devices have on security along with recommendations to address the growing risk.
Some of Gregg's key insights include:
- Medical IoT devices change the state of the digital environment and generate tremendous amounts of data that needs to be managed
- Most IoT devices are unattended, which create easily avoidable vulnerabilities that lead to cyber risk where these devices support machine-to-machine (M2M) connectivity
- While trusted machine-to-machine (M2M) connectivity is possible with newer IoT devices, most legacy devices don't support it, creating gaps in visibility and automation
Based on these insights, and the rest of his research note, Gregg also provides great recommendations for Healthcare Delivery Organizations (HDOs) to manage their growing IoT cyber risk. Here's a high-level summary of Gregg's recommendations:
- Define a holistic device security strategy to address identity/credentials, as well as real-time visibility and control
- Consider leveraging cloud-based IoT device management platforms to address the challenges of managing this data at scale
- Take a blended approach to modeling IoT risks using other strategies for managing security risks, such as mobile and cloud
- Add behavioral monitoring to existing IoT devices in order to identify potential threats
Take a Guided Tour
Complete the form to schedule a demo of Syncurity's award-winning IR Flow Security Operations and Incident Response Platform.
While these recommendations appear to suggest that a holistic approach is taken to identify and limit IoT risk, they, unfortunately, fail to address the most difficult challenge – operationalizing IoT risk management. In other words, after developing a strategy, establishing a management and monitoring infrastructure and modeling behavior to flag anomalies, then what?
First, the process of identifying IoT medical devices for visibility and control is a challenge in and of itself. Many devices were never built to be online, or if they were, they weren't built with the security and controls necessary to reduce risk in today's threat landscape. Specialized tools are needed to identify the network traffic of the medical device, down to the vendor, make and model, such as CyberMDX, because that information is needed to address containment and remediation.
Second, the legacy nature of these devices makes the blended approach challenging, especially in cloud environments. Much of the infrastructure needed to support legacy devices isn't available on a modern SaaS platform and would require a private cloud or on-premise deployment. Specialized tools for cross-public/private workload visibility, such as Caveonics, are needed to incorporate visibility and control of these device platforms with core IT workloads.
Finally, it is not possible to automatically manage or remediate medical IoT devices with machine-to-machine (M2M) communications. In addition, a large number of these devices are remotely managed by the OEM vendor, not the HDO. Still, other devices actually require FDA approval before they can be updated, changed or patched. Because these devices are actively used to deliver patient care, it is important that the security processes needed to identify, protect, detect, contain and remediate cyber risks are well-defined, flexible and incorporate both human and automated actions. In other words, these processes should be instantiated and executed within a Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR, as defined by Gartner) software platform. The benefits of SOAR include consistent execution of complex workflows comprised of human AND machine-driven actions, as well as an auditable system of record for all these processes, which provides the basis for analytics and improvement.
So, while Gregg's research shines light on many critical components of a successful IoT security strategy and management, the recommendations are missing the one that HDOs should investigate and invest in to close the loop on all of the complex processes needed. Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR) platforms codify these processes so HDOs can properly operationalize all the technologies associated with healthcare IoT management, visibility and control to protect and mitigate cyber risks.

This 28-year-old patient was interested in body contouring and Brazilian butt lift procedures. While she did have a relatively small amount of fat on her body, she did have excess skin which resulted in her being an ideal candidate for a tummy tuck rather than liposuction alone.
Because of the small amount of fat she had on her body it did limit us in the amount of fat that was harvested and processed for her Brazilian butt lift.
I performed a tummy tuck with lipo of her abdomen, flanks and back and a Brazilian butt lift. She is very happy with her results.

The Most Critical Stage in Recovering From a Breakup
My podcast guest, Dr. Lynn Marie Morski, talks about the stages of recovering from a breakup. Check out highlights and the replay here.
My podcast guest, Lynn Marie Morski, MD, Esq. joined me to discuss the most critical stage in recovering from a breakup. She is a physician, attorney, speaker, author, and…lifelong quitter. As the founder of Quitting By Design, Lynn Marie is on a mission to help people carve out a successful life through strategic quitting. Since her first big quit at the age of 21, Lynn Marie discovered the power of quitting to inform your life's true purpose and path and her new book, "Quitting by Design," teaches readers how to maximize the benefits and minimize the challenges associated with major life changes.

Why is confronting your fears the most critical stage of a breakup?
Fear is probably what keeps people from a breakup in the first place. Many stay in relationships because they haven't yet overcome their fears.
5 Stages in Confronting your fears
Stage 1: Decide whether or not there's something to quit. This goes for anything you need to quit (a relationship, poor eating habits, a job). Ask yourself, "What is out of alignment?"
Stage 2: Narrow it down to what part of the issue is not working. For example, if you and your significant other are always fighting about the mess in your home, do you need to quit the relationship or hire a cleaner?
Stage 3: Overcome your fears. Identify what your fears are. Are you afraid of being alone? Afraid of what people will say? What others think of you has zero bearing on our life.
Stage 4: Logistics. Prepare for the outcome after you quit, such as where to live and how to manage your finances.
Stage 5: Enacting. This is where you actually quit.
What's the difference between quitting a relationship and giving up?
Strategic quitting is a thoroughly well-thought out process. Giving up is quitting when the going gets tough.
In strategic quitting, you don't just walk out. You plan, especially if you live together. Take the other person into consideration. Think about finances. Have an amicable breakup.
Why do so many people settle?
People settle in relationships for different reasons. Some feel if they want kids, they're running out of time. Or they're lonely. Or they have a financial need.
Your body doesn't lie. Pay attention to your intuition.
Why is timing so important when ending a relationship?
If you're in a relationship and things get hard, don't just give up. I was in a relationship for four months and it lost its luster. I got irritable and had back pain. He was sad because I was so irritable. I stayed because I thought it was just past the honeymoon stage, and I should try and work through the bumps. But, the relationship wasn't working, and I had to leave. There's no 'should'. If it's not working, it's not working.
Final words for our audience…
If you're in a relationship that isn't working for you, staying is costing you the opportunity to go on your last first date. You have a finite amount of time and energy. Free yourself so the right opportunity comes along.

Types of trust
Lifestyle Trust – single settlor English law
The Lifestyle Trust offers clients the ability to make a gift of capital (reducing their estate for IHT purposes) to trustees whilst retaining flexible access to their capital in the future – or to forgo that access if they choose to do so. The settlor creates policy funds for their future use. These are rights to the monies held in individual policies within the investment at set 'vesting' dates. When the vesting date for a policy fund is approaching the settlor can decide whether they want the money or whether to gift it away. The trustees can also appoint money to the beneficiaries prior to the vesting date which results in the settlor's right to some or all of their money being lost.
Example: John is 80 and invests £100,000 into an Old Mutual Wealth Collective Investment Bond subject to a lifestyle trust. He has no requirement for the capital but likes cruising and wants to plan a cruise for each year while he is in good health. He therefore sets up policy funds of 50 policies every year so that he knows he will always have the money available to pay for each holiday.

A new LGBT club night in London will be a night out with a difference, organisers say.
QueerlyOut, aimed at 18-30-year-olds, launches on October 7th and promises drinks priced from 99p as well as a range of support services such as sexual health and housing advice.
The clubnight will be held every Thursday at The Underground in Aldwych, WC2, which is a short walk from Soho. It is media-sponsored by PinkNews.co.uk, Boyz and Attitude Magazine.
Promoter Sam Feller said the night would provide students and young people with an enjoyable, alternative night out as well as a safe environment in which to have fun.
"The concept was born out of my feeling that some other gay nights were being exploitative," he said.
"Being a student in Leeds, we had a weekly gay night with £1 drinks. When I came back to London, I was shocked that nothing similar seemed to exist. Charging young people a hefty entrance fee and then £3.50 upwards for a drink seemed, to me, unfair."
"Our drinks prices start at 99p for tequila and sambuca shots and £1.40 for a vodka and mixer. We're going back to the way prices should be, particularly in the current economic climate when young people don't have a lot of disposable income."
The night promises to host a different charity or service provider every week to provide sexual health advice, counselling, housing and legal advice as well as support for drug or alcohol-related problems. The night also aims to support fundraising for LGBT causes.
The launch on October 7th will be raising funds jointly for sexual health charity Terrence Higgins Trust and LGBT housing charity Albert Kennedy Trust.
QueerlyOut is looking to speak to other charities interested in using the weekly club night to provide services in the community.
"This is our way of giving something back to the LGBT community," said Mr Feller.
"I see too many London club promoters just interested in how much money they can make from the community rather than actually giving something back. Right from the start, I want QueerlyOut to be different, to be able to offer a great night out while at the same time really giving something back to a community that I am so proud to be a part of."
The clubnight will offer two rooms of music, ranging from mainstream house to indie/pop. It is also designed to counter the reduction in Soho venues over the past few years.
"We're bringing gay clubbing back to where it came from," said Mr Feller. "With so many gay club closures over the past couple of years, the music seems to be lacking variety and people are sick and tired of the same old, same old. QueerlyOut aims to put a spanner in the works."

Rahaf Mohammed Alqunun, the 18-year-old woman who is trying to escape Saudi Arabia out of fear her parents will kill her for renouncing Islam, has been granted asylum by Canada.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made the announcement to reporters this afternoon:
"The [UN High Commissioner for Refugees] has made a request of Canada that we accept Ms. al-Qunun as a refugee and we have accepted the UN's request that we grant her asylum," he told reporters.
Thailand's immigration chief told reporters earlier on Friday that she's already on her way to Canada.
"Canada has granted her asylum," Surachate Hakpark told Reuters. "She'll leave tonight at 11:15 p.m.," which is 11:15 a.m. ET.
Kudos to Canada for doing what every free nation ought to be doing — providing a safe haven for victims of faith-based persecution.

Guess what?? Pictures..... :)
Over Valentines weekend we went with some friends' to another friends "cabin".... (well it's his parents). This cabin was a huge awesome getaway mansion. This family was in Thomas' ward growing up and Cole was one of his best friends. We had a way fun time relaxing, throwing rocks, shooting, doing fires, and visiting with friends. The boys had fun with the other kids. It was a little chilly out, but still awesome. I'd love to go back in the summer :)
This was our room that we stayed in. The top bunk didn't have a side rail, but Kasen still insisted on sleeping up there. We put a line up of pillows on the side, but it still kept me up all night worrying about him. It especially freaked me out when a pillow or two would fall to the ground. One night I was up till we stayed up till 2 am, but I laid awake till 3 am worrying he was gonna fall out. Eventually I asked Thomas to take him down and lay him with Layton. It was all well and good until he woke up at 6 am freaking out that he wasn't on the top bunk anymore..... ahh!
I just had to snap a shot of this BEAUTIFUL kitchen!!
Doing a little bit of shooting. Lots of fun!
Trying to cover Kasen's ears from the gun shot noise.

The Little Theatre in downtown Rochester kicked off a major fundraising campaign Thursday evening. The goal for the six-month long "Little Big Picture Campaign" is one million dollars to match the money given to the venue this year from the state's Regional Economic Development Council.
That money will be used to continue major renovations, including building a larger stage in Theatre 1, replacing seats and improving accessibility. Wider door frames and handicap ramps are needed at the venue, said Norm Silverstein, president of the Little Theatre Film Society and WXXI Public Broadcasting Council. WXXI operates The Little Theatre.
"The accessibility is something I'm really pleased about too," he said. "We recently had a concert in Theater 1, with a performer in a wheelchair and he had to be lifted up. So we're going to be putting in ramps, and lifts and we've already put in a handicap accessible restroom on the first floor."
The fundraiser information says that renovations will also restore the venue to its "original iconic state." BERO Architecture is the firm behind the redesign. Architectural Associate Christopher Brandt says they used old reference materials in their design.
"We were lucky to find a book of clippings at the local history division of the Central Library on The Little Theatre and inside that clipping file was an anniversary booklet from 1949 and that booklet had a series of historic photographs including an interior pic of the theater, which we found in our research is pretty rare to find an interior photo of a movie theater," he said.
They also found old lighting fixtures from several decades before that they plan to put back up. Theater 1 will close in late May for four months during the renovation process. Theaters 2-5 will remain open, though they are also seeing some upgrades.
One million dollars may sound like a lot but Silverstein says they're well on their way: "We've already got commitments of about $300,000...and we already have spent over a million, so by the time this project is completed it could be well over a million dollars."

|There are so many hidden things inside of me. It made me change so much. It tied my hands and feet. It trapped me in a dark room. The pieces of lost time, the memories of love, they have been deleted and thrown away. Only the outer shells remain. It will be forgotten after I sleep. I want to escape from this pain that chains me down. Someone wake me up from my soul that is filled with scars. What controls me isn't what lives in me. What can heal me isn't strong medicine. It's just love.

The Destruction Of The Final False Religon That Opposes The Coming Ofchrist Series
Contributed by David Jenkins on Nov 27, 2004 (message contributor)
Summary: The Destruction of the final false religon that opposes the coming of Messiah as the rightful heir to the throne of King David and the establishment of the Millenial reign of Messiah
Revelation 17:1-6, 15, "1 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me,[1] "Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, 2with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication." 3So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication.[2] 5And on her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement.
15Then he said to me, "The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples. multitudes, nations, and tongues."
Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me this would immediately take one to understand the connective ness of this vision with the seven plagues (16:1-21). It is precisely for this reason that the flow of Revelation is stopped yet the sequence of events is not stopped as we saw in the introduction here. Yet we shall return to the rest of the story in chapters 19-22, so these two chapters 17 and 18 then take us back to show us what came of these judgments. The great harlot is not an actual prostitute but a symbolic prostitute. This term for harlot is meant as a metaphor of all the false religion, spiritual defection, idolatry, and religious apostasy. Scripture reveals that Nineveh (Nah 3:1,4), Tyre (Isa 23:15-17), and sadly, Jerusalem (Isa 1:21) are examples of cities that committed spiritual fornication.
John's appeal then is to expose the aspects of the system, or the harlot city of Babylon through showing that her authority, alliances, apparel, abominations and accusations are satanic.
The authority of the Harlot
Revelation 17:1b, 15, "who sits on many waters. Then the angel said to me, "The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages."
The harlot sits in a position of authority which demonstrates for us its sovereignty as a king who would sit on the throne on many waters, which points to the fact that in ancient times not to mention Babylon. Through Babylon ran a river the Euphrates. Jeremiah 51:13 shows that ancient Babylon as "you who dwell by many waters" which is also the same as her future counterpart here. That Babylon then sits on many waters as it did before goes to show that in the future tribulation time Babylon will further be built along the Euphrates in Babylon which is in Iraq. If this then doesn't show you that the things transpiring in Iraq are important then you need a serious wake up call, because the coming of the Messiah nears everyday nearer and nearer, which is why we are to look forward and set our eyes upon the coming of Messiah for His sheep at the sound of the trumpet the Rapture will occur, and then the beginning of the Tribulation which will culminate in Messiah's return. Then what we see is that the destruction of the final false religion will destroy the authority of the harlot, who wants in and of itself the glory of Messiah who is the rightful heir to the King of David who will reign forever and ever, and establish His millennial Kingdom despite that very same false religion which at its core deny the existence of God, which today, is prevelant through the denial still of God's existence, even though God is still directly involved in the affairs of providing for the means of the survival of all humanity through the supply of natural resources, food, housing and clothing. Everything in all facets of life is in the hands of an all knowing sovereign God who reaches out His hand of mercy extending it to all and withholding His judgment that humanity might not experience judgment, yet His love as revealed through the Cross, so that they would come into a personal living relationship and not instead be thrown into the lake of fire to suffer forever eternal condemnation but experience eternal life, and the water which streams forth inside from knowing Messiah through the gift of eternal life.
The Alliance of the Harlot
Revelation 17:2-3, "2With her the kings of the earth committed adultery and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries."

The teen daughter of an actress who has been charged in a college admissions fraud and bribery scheme posted a video to her nearly 2 million subscribers last year in which she said she didn't really care about school.
The video was posted by social media influencer Olivia Jade Giannulli, daughter of actress Lori Loughlin, after the teen had been accepted in USC. Giannulli, 19, is currently a first-year student at the school.
Loughlin was named Tuesday as part of a federal case alleging she and her husband paid $500,000 to have their two daughters labeled as recruits to the USC crew team, even though neither participated in the sport. Loughlin, who rose to fame for her role in "Full House," is one of 50 people charged in the entrance-exam cheating scam involving other elite schools.
In light of those charges, Giannulli's social media posts about her education are receiving intense scrutiny.
The rising star also has 1.3 million Instagram followers and 182,000 followers on Twitter. As an influencer, she has sponsored posts with Amazon, Clinique and Sephora.
In the video posted to her popular YouTube page on Aug. 18, 2018, Giannulli said balancing her career and her first year of college was going to be tough.
"The whole college thing, yup, I'm going," she starts off in the video, which was presented as a Q & A with her followers.
"With work, it's going to be hard. Like my first week of school, I am leaving to go to Fiji for work, and then I'll be in New York a bunch this year for work, and traveling to different countries because I am creating something with this country and that's for work. So I don't know how much of school I'm going to attend, but I'm gonna go in and talk to my deans and everyone and hope that I can try and balance it all. But I do want the experience of, like, game days, partying … I don't really care about school."
The video was viewed nearly 803,000 times. Her YouTube page, in which she vlogs about makeup, dating and college parties, has almost two million subscribers.
In an April 20 tweet, Giannulli said "it's so hard to try in school when you don't care about anything you're learning."
Federal authorities said "Operation Varsity Blues" is the biggest college admissions scam ever prosecuted by the U.S. Justice Department, with the parents accused of paying an estimated $25 million in bribes.

Food, water, shelter and oxygen - those are the necessities of life. While much of the focus has been on providing beds for people to sleep in during the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games, we're finally getting a clearer picture of how athletes and their teams will be filling their bellies in February and March.
McDonald's is again on board as the official restaurant of the Olympics, and they will be working with the international food and facilities management company, Sodexo, who will take care of cleaning and other aspects of food services at the athletes' villages in Vancouver and Whistler.
"Vancouver will be McDonald's seventh Olympic Games as a worldwide partner, and eighth as the official restaurant of the Games," said Kim Todd, senior vice president of GolinHarris, a public relations firm that represents McDonald's.
Todd said McDonald's has been involved in the Olympics for over 40 years, though not always in an official capacity.
During the 1968 Winter Olympics in Grenoble, France, McDonald's actually airlifted a shipment of hamburgers to American athletes who were homesick. In 1976, the company came on board as the official restaurant of the Games, serving a menu of traditional McDonald's items alongside specially designed dishes to athletes, their families, coaches and fans.
"Usually, it's a combination of their core menu - their most popular featured items - and definitely a good variety of choice of balanced meals and healthy choices," Todd said.
McDonald's plans to have a similarly strong presence at the 2010 Games, with restaurants at each athletes' village and another for the main press centre in Vancouver. These restaurants will be outfitted with energy efficient lighting and equipment, which will then be reused at McDonald's restaurants after the Games.
McDonald's is still developing its menu for the Games, and Todd was a bit unsure about how the two central organizations - Sodexo and McDonald's - would be working together to serve meals during the Games.
"We just don't have any specifics, unfortunately, at this time," Todd said.
However, according to a job posting placed on the First Nations Employment Society website, Sodexo will be providing catering and housekeeping duties at both athletes' villages and serving more than 500,000 meals in the process.
They're recruiting an undisclosed number of employees to assist the culinary team operations, housekeeping and other general labour duties, offering accommodation and transportation for all staff at the Whistler location. They have also asked all applicants to clearly state if they are Métis or First Nations, though no one from VANOC or Sodexo was available for comment on hiring specifics.
McDonald's won't be hiring new staff to work at the Games. Rather, they plan to handpick a 300-person McDonald's Olympic Champion Crew from their top performing restaurants across the country.
Sodexo has already assigned an executive chef to each village. Reg Pearce will lead the culinary team at the Vancouver site, while Michael Smith takes the helm in Whistler.
Smith, a well-known culinary personality from the Food Network, is host of "Chef at Home" and "Chef Abroad," and has also recently been tapped to take part in Iron Chef America. He'll be serving as corporate chef for Sodexo in 2010.
"I'm thrilled to be a part of the Olympics," Smith said in a recent release, "I'm really looking forward to being on the team that's helping to cook for the athletes."
Smith and representatives from Sodexo declined requests for interviews, citing legal concerns and directing requests to VANOC.

In the eighty first year of my life, I am persuaded to record a short autobiography.
My earliest memories take me back to the third or fourth years of my life which began on the 1st day of March, 1908. My parents, along with two older sisters, Ida and Hilda, lived at number 160, Barrow Hill, near what was known as the "big end" and just four doors away from the Primitive Methodist Chapel, which as an infant I attended.
My father, who originated from Woodview Road, off Dewsbury Road, Leeds, was a Head Shunter on the old Midland Railway, but where we lived the house belonged to the Staveley Coal and Iron Co., Ltd. We lived with my Grandfather, John Darkin, a coal miner.
Barrow Hill was almost wholly tenanted by colliery workers who were conveyed to the pits i.e. Ireland, Markham, Hartington, Barlboro' etc, by Paddy Mail from Barrow Hill station at a quarter to four six mornings a week and returning to Barrow Hill at a quarter to four in the afternoon. Other than on a Sunday, some of them would not be at home in the daylight for months. No wonder then that in later years at the United Methodist Church which I had now joined, I recall the Sunday morning service opening with regularity the hymn "O day of rest and gladness, O day of joy and light" with some fervour.
As children, our playground was the "slack heap" which later in or about 1921 was levelled by younger men on strike and older boys from the school under the supervision of Mr Ben Marson, the mining engineer. The play area then became known as the "Blue Fly." At a later date, a bowling green was laid and charge of the whole was committed by the Chairman and Managing Director of Staveley Company, Mr C.P.Markham, to Mr Teddy Williamson at the Barrow Hill Hotel.
The Primitive Methodist Chapel was well supported by the Fern family who were goodly in number, I was happy in later years to marry a Fern, Carrie, the daughter of John Thomas and Alice. Many were the activities at the chapel in those days. The highlights being the Sunday School Sermons with a full platform of scholars and choir, and a full house on the first two Sundays in May each year, the annual Sunday School trip to Cleethorpes on Staveley Feast Monday (my Mother's brother William died from poisoning at the age of 13 after one such trip), the Hospital Sunday when members of all the churches, together with the Barrow Hill Band and other institutions paraded the village and then assembled in Smales field at the end of the Devonshire Cottages.
Until the National Health Service commenced, one could not visit Hospital without a "Recommend" issued by a Sick Club or other society which had made some contribution to the Hospital. By courtesy of the Staveley Company, their ambulance was used to convey the sick and injured.
The primary Department at the Chapel had an annual outing under the supervision of Mrs J.T.Fern and Mrs A.Jukes to the Chesterfield Queen's Park. It was a thrill to have a ride on the boat round the lake, even a train ride was looked forward to then games were played in the Park.
At the very bottom of Barrow Hill, where the village joins the junction of the Hollingwood and New Whittington Road, the point was known as Solomon's Pump. What is now Franczak's motor repair shop was the stables for the Midland Railway dray horses. The drayman. Mr J.Couzens, lived in a house almost adjoining, now demolished, as was a small row of cottages across the road running towards the railway bank. The Stationmaster's house stood on the corner of the railway bridge.
Tragedy began to strike our family. My father fell victim to T.B., a common illness, before and for some time after the first world war. Although a Head Shunter on the railway, his weekly wage never exceeded £1 per week. My grandfather, already a widower since 1897, worked down the pit until he was 71 and died at that age in March 1915. The family tombstone is on the left hand side just inside the entrance to Staveley Cemetery. This necessitated our leaving 160, Barrow Hill in January 1916 and moving into a railway house at number 11, Midland Terrace, which was to be tenanted by my sister Hilda until 1985. After myself, Stanley, May and Eileen had arrived in that order. Sadly, we lost Ida in 1947 at the early age of 48.
During my time as a resident of Barrow Hill, there was a very active community. Apart from everybody knowing everybody else, the two chapels were all very active forces. The Salvation Army played a very important part too. The Orchestral Society was well know as was the Barrow Hill Silver Prize Band. Whist drives and dances were held regularly in the schools and, for many years until the building of the Church Hall, the C. of E. held their Sunday School there.
Education had improved greatly and it had now become compulsory for children to attend school, free of charge. When my mother started school about 1883, a charge of 3d per week was made which, for the average family of six to eight children or more, meant some sacrifice. Remember, no pay – no school. This system was later abolished. I well remember the teachers of my school days. in the infants Miss Hibberd (later Mrs Maurice Unwin) was Head, then Mrs Jones, Miss Godber and Miss Donovan. In the boys school the Head, Mr F.E.Walters, was a great teacher and disciplinarian, Maurice Unwin, Richard Phillips, Miss Sherwin, Miss Wake and Miss Kent.
The teachers were very patriotic people, they held their school and the country, with the Royal family, in high esteem. The scholars, joined by parents, would celebrate Empire day and other special occasions with singing national anthems and songs in the schoolyard and when the Royal train passed through Barrow Hill, on the nearby railway we would all line up on the railway embankment and wave our Union Jacks as the train passed by.
The normal busy place on Barrow Hill was on the "big end." Starting from the bottom rows was Deco Hill's chip shop, followed upwards by Tommy Marriott the fruiterer, then Mr Bore's garden, the Primitive Methodist Chapel, then Parry's haberdashery shop (a packet of pins 1d), Davy's grocery, "Daddy" Gilbert the cobbler, then the slaughterhouse for butchers Fletcher and Millard who both had shops at the other end of the row, then Lewis Hall's sweet shop, Dolly Bingham the barber, Rush's chip shop and paraffin, Cook's grocery and general and later, T.Shooter and Sons the clothiers. Nearby the butchers shops was Harry Hill the barber, Hunt's sweet shop and bits and bobs, and Stirlings house-come-shop.
Although the house at No.11, Midland Terrace was good, the conveniences left much to be desired compared with the present day. Electric light had not yet arrived at Barrow Hill. Running water on the Blocks was one stand pipe to each block of three houses. There were no W.C.'s, simply middens and pans in the railway houses, there was no gas, all means of light was from oil lamps which had to be trimmed daily. For quite a few years after moving to No.11, although taps had been installed in the houses, there was no pressure of water and one would have to collect drinking water from a spring in the nearby field. A wash down in a zinc bath in front of the fire when other members of the family were either out or in bed was a luxury. For wash day with copper and two tubs, my mother would sit up almost all the previous night to draw sufficient water. In those days, a ponch and dolly pegs were used and a mangle as big as a tractor engine.
This brings me to the age of something between nine and ten at which age I was fortunate to be part-time employed by butcher Millard delivering baskets of meat to his customers on Friday nights and Saturdays until 4pm. It was heavy going, going as far as White Lodge Farm and Campbell Cottages in winter and summer alike. This was for the princely sum of 1/6d plus half a pound of pork pie for my dinner on Saturdays.
At eleven years of age, the opportunity came for an indoor job which I readily accepted. It was to be the lather boy for Mr Harry Hill who, although he worked at the pit five days a week, did barbering each night and all day Saturday. My hours were Monday, Wednesday and Friday 5 to 8pm and on Saturday 9am to 8pm. Barbering was a thriving business, remembering that the safety razor had not yet been introduced and, unless one could use a cut throat, he must go to the barbers for a shave mostly every other day. 2d for a shave, 4d for a haircut. 3d for boys.
On the top row of Barrow Hill, the tenants living in numbers 16 to 27 each had a pig sty across the road some twenty feet from their house door, and if they themselves did not keep pigs in the sty it would be let to someone else. These would be knocked down in 1926 when the ash pits and middens were replaced with a W.C. and wash house. At No.32 lived the Jessop family who were expert cobblers and also had a wagonette drawn by two horses, with this the Band of Hope at the Top Chapel had its annual outing to Caudwell Valley.
The locum was the bearded Dr Blight. Different from today, after morning surgery he would start on the top row and wind his way down the village, usually riding a bicycle, to visit his sick patients, to visit those outside the village at New Whittington, Brimington, etc. He had two black horses and employed a coachman, Jonathan Fogg. Two policemen were stationed permanently at Barrow Hill.
In the early days of our Grandparents, the railway engines at the sheds would join the main line by running between a row of block houses, the long row, and behind the hotel. For years, where the sleepers had been laid, we would bounce along the old track on our cycles. This of course was dispensed with when the new curve which crosses the bridge on Whittington Lane was made.
The first motor car to be running the roads locally was owned by Mr C.P. Markham and was known as the "Yellow Peril." This would be at a time about the end of the First World War. The first privately owned charabanc was in the hands of one Harry Cresswell, christened "Peveril of the Peak" and, although he did a bit of local tripping he never developed the business. The idea of motor transport was then seized upon by Jimmy Briggs who used a lorry-cum-bus for carting coal but, on Friday nights with the aid of a cover on his lorry, ran a service from Barrow Hill to Staveley market. In the late 1920's, Mathers of Tupton ran a skeleton service with a small bus to Chesterfield. He was later bought out by the East Midland Motor Company. This was the beginning of the end of railway passenger traffic from Barrow Hill to other local stations.
My lather boy days came to an end in 1921. Leaving school at 13 years of age, I started work on the 28th April that year. It was the year of the general strike when almost every kind of work was at a standstill and there was great poverty for many months. Fortunately for me, the schoolmaster, Mr Walters, had recommended me for a vacancy as office boy in the Horse-keeping Department under Mr R.J.Hawley. This was one department of the Staveley Company that had to work as the 500 pit ponies had been brought to the surface to graze in various places and had to be constantly attended to. I had little to do whilst the strike lasted other than answer the telephone and run a few errands. My early pay packets showed I had earned 6/3d per week. Of this, I had 1/- spending money. My mother had the rest. It was the norm to have an increase in wage for juniors each birthday. One would have to knock on the Secretary's door (Mr Sam Berresford), wait for the "come in", salute, and remind him of the day. On reaching 18 years of age, my wage had increased by increments to £1.5s.0d per week, this was in 1926, the year of another general strike and the year I contracted pneumonia, being off work for almost four months at St Anne's convalescent home at Bridlington. At 21, I was earning £2.5s.0d per week, after which I had increases according to merit and responsibility.
Our marriage took place at Barrow Hill Ebenezer Methodist Church, the Rev E. Isherwood officiating, by which time my earnings had reached £3.0.0. per week. Carrie and myself had previously agreed we would not marry until I had save £100. This was accomplished and included £10 for the honeymoon in London. It was sufficient to furnish a promised bungalow, No.5 Sycamore Lane, Hollingwood.
The standard wage for a labourer on the works was 7/- per day, £2.2s.0d for a full week. In our department, we had men living in Hollingwood, a new village, earning this amount. The rent was 12/10d per week and other stoppages included 10d for National Health (then known as Lloyd George) and 10d for Unemployment Benefit. This meant a take home pay of £1.7s.6d. There were no statutory holidays, all time lost including Easter, Whitsun, Christmas and sickness were deducted from the wage. I have known men take a 3d bit home on Friday.
It turned out lucky for me that I had not been successful in obtaining two other jobs outside the Company for circumstances at work began to change. I worked hard, completing a commercial course at evening classed in Chesterfield three nights per week, at the same time studying the organ. I was appointed organist at Barrow Hill Methodist Church in 1932 at which I had been received into membership in 1926 and where I served as Church Secretary, Teacher and Superintendent in the Sunday School, Trustee, and other incidental offices.
My manager at work, Mr Hawley, was appointed Superintendent of the Ambulance Division in 1929. The divisional funds were raised firstly by the Company contributing £1 per efficient member, raffles, Christmas draws and selling scent cards and pencils at 1d per time. The new Super looked and found a more beneficial way of boosting the funds. There was no provision on the Foundries section of the works where one could buy a cup or can of tea, or a packet of cigarettes, so the first canteen, being part of the tennis pavilion near the General Offices was opened in 1929. I well recall the first days takings were 17/6d. A young lady was later engaged as the attendant and paid 12/6d per week. Woodbines were sold at 5 for 2d, better brands 10 for 6d, a cup of tea for 1d and 2d for a can of tea. The venture proved a great success, so much so that a new larger wooden structure canteen was built in 1935 and placed at the entrance to the new Sand Spun Pipe Plant. The new plant had been built on an area of ground where only a few years previously, a new mine shaft had been sunk but quickly abandoned because of a major fault in the coal seam. It was known as Duewell Colliery, the first manager being Mr Harold Kirk. The canteen was later transferred across the road to a point near the weight office and the entrance to the New Works. A second canteen, including a mess room, was brick built for the new plant and kept open on a three-shift system round the clock, seven days a week.
During the 1930's, there was a great trade depression and the war clouds were looming. By 1938 and before, it was evident trouble was brewing, it became more visible – Herr Hitler was trying to conquer Europe and part of the British Empire for Germany. The storm broke on 3rd September 1939 when Britain declared war on Germany to stop the advance of the German forces and it developed into WW2. From this time on, rationing of almost everything was being steadily introduced at different stages, from food, to clothes, to petrol, to soap, and practically all else as the war prolonged from months to years.
The works had now been almost completely turned into a near munition factory and, to keep the workers happy and fit, extra food other than home rations was to be available at the canteens. The Ambulance Room canteen, which until recently had been the Foundry Offices, was opened in 1940. This was followed in 1942, on a Government Statutory Order, with the Central mail meal canteen and the Devonshire Works main meal canteen, making in all five canteens to be administered. The charges: – dinner 8d, sweet 3d, and a cup of tea 1d. With Mr Hawley as my overlord, I was appointed manager of these which, in all, found work for 50 women and 6 men.
By now, we had moved house from Sycamore Lane to No.9 Hollingwood Crescent. The war stretched on until May 1945 in Europe and August 1945 in Japan. The number of workers catered for was 10,000, the Foundries having 6,000 men and women, and the Devonshire Works 4,000. Food Office authorisations during the years of WW2, 1939-1945 were as follows, variable according to availability:-
Tea, 280 cups to 1lb; Sugar, 1/5th oz per meal or hot beverage; Milk, 6 pints per 100 hot beverages; Cooking fat, 1/8th oz per meal; Margarine, 5/16th oz per meal; Cheese, 1/7th oz per meal; Bacon 3/7th oz per breakfast or 1/7th oz per main meal or 1/28th oz per light meal; Meat 3 and 21/32 oz per meal; Processed eggs, 2oz per 100 meals; Shell eggs, 1 for every 225 meals; Cake, confectionery and flour, 8 and 1/2 lbs per 1000 light meals.
Other rationed foods: Starch foods, canned fruit, baked beans, canned fish, coffee essence, dried fruit, canned meat, dried apples. Other items, including potatoes, cabbage and other greens and, according to season, strawberries, gooseberries, rhubarb, etc had to be obtained from merchants and local farmers.
At the end of the war, in 1945, I had my first car, an Austin 7 Ruby saloon, cost £165, this I kept for 2 years before moving up to a bigger model. It was nigh impossible to buy a new car during the war years but I had learned to drive on the canteen van to cover any emergency. Rationing continued in varying but decreasing forms until the end of 1953 when it faded out and canteen services were seen to decline. It was now I visualised the demise of Works catering, although I was slightly wrong in my timing. However, the opportunity came for me right on the doorstep on Hollingwood Crescent to say goodbye to the Company for whom I had worked for 33 years and establish myself in a grocery business, taking over from J.W.Hodson & Sons. This happened on the 4th January 1954.
Quote from Staveley Company's Magazine January 1954 – "New proprietor of a grocery and provisions business in the centre of Hollingwood is Mr Arthur Fox, until the end of 1953 Manager of the Works Canteens. He joined the Horse-keeping Department of the old Staveley Coal and Iron Company in 1921. Main meals for war workers were a necessity in 1942, and permanent canteens with modern kitchens and facilities were opened on Devonshire Works and near the Foundry Central Offices. Light meals served at the Central Canteen have increased from 24,000 in the early days to 230,000 last year. At the Ambulance Canteens, 6,500.000 light meals have been served since food rationing began in 1940."
The venture at the shop, although hard work with long hours, proved very rewarding, so much so, that in November 1960, I was able to purchase the business of Norman Henton in Cedar Street as well. This was later sold to my brother-in-law, Harry Burton, in 1964, and the Hollingwood Crescent shop was sold to my brother Stanley in April 1967. We had employed a staff of eight assistants at the two shops in addition to Carrie and myself.
By this time, and by careful management, we were in a position to retire, and did so. We purchased a bungalow being built at No.18 Elliott Drive, Inkersall, for £3,000 into which we moved in January 1966, and where we still reside.
Not least, by far, God has committed to our care a son, Spencer, in 1936, and a daughter, Carole, in 1944, and it is with great joy that I remember their childhood as the happiest days of my life. These have continued with many years of happy marriage with Carrie.

Each summer we head to New York on our annual journey to the old home place where Dw and his three brothers grew up. The early 1900s-something white farmhouse (with its delightful front and back porches) will forever hold countless memories for all of us. We are incredibly grateful his brother Dan bought it when his parents both passed. Probably our favorite part of all of it is that, Dan, a near-lifelong bachelor, welcomes our big pile of rowdies for as long as we can stay. He's such a generously kind man and we have an absolute blast with him. Late nights spent talking on the porch with him and old friends who stop by to visit (oh the laughter!), dinners each night at the long tables in front of the barn and just making memories all cause us to long for the home place. In fact the kids start asking when we are leaving to go East by mid-January each year!
While staying there I drive to Buffalo every couple of days to spend time with my mom and dad. They have been divorced for many years and live in two different places. My dad has had Alzheimer's disease for quite a few years now and is in a memory care unit. The senior residence where my mom lives gives her the opportunity to still live independently.
This summer while at my moms she took the kids and I down the hall to meet some of her friends. Like any good grandma, she loves to show-off her grands. My mom had mentioned her friend, Evelyn (name changed) many times before and we were looking forward to meeting her.
Evelyn spotted my sweet pile of rowdies walking down the long hall toward her and she squealed excitedly and disappeared inside her door. By the time we reached her door she had thrown it open with her hands filled while exclaiming, "I haven't been shopping in a few days but here take these cookies and this other kind of cookie as well. Here! Take these crackers too!"
We laughed and explained that we hadn't come down for a snack nor did we want to take her food. She insisted! She clearly wanted to shower us with goodies. We again told her we couldn't take them. And although I can't remember what little wise comment she made, I remember thinking, "This Miss Evelyn is really a live wire!" After a sweet visit we eventually moseyed on down the hall to greet a few others.
As we came back toward Miss Evelyn's apartment she was still outside and we paused to talk again. She had told me earlier than she was 96 – such a spry ball-of-enthusiasm for a 96-year-old treasure – a true delight to spend time with. While talking this time I questioned, "So what is the secret of living 96 years, Miss Evelyn?" She answered without missing a beat, "Be generous with everyone."
Months later, her words are still echoing in my ears causing me to spend a lot of time thinking about generosity.
Looking back over my own life I personally think the people who I have felt the most loved by were, interestingly enough, those who were generous to me. I can remember the generous kindness of my 5th grade teacher. I had a mysterious and actually pretty serious problem that left me completely unable to walk during my fifth grade year. While the medical professionals did what seemed to be a zillion tests, I was left in the hospital, completely alone (except for an occasional visit) for many weeks. During that time Miss C, my 5th grade teacher, sent me a beautiful wicker basket arrangement overflowing with white daisies along with a kind note. It was my first time ever being sent flowers and to this day, white daisies are still my most favorite of all – by a landslide! And if they were to ever be in a wicker basket – quadruple points!
My guess is that my 5th grade teacher's generosity spoke volumes to me because, for one, I knew she didn't have to do anything. As a 5th grader, it had never even crossed my mind that she would remember I was in the hospital – let alone send me a gorgeous flower arrangement. Yet her over-the-top generosity to my 5th grade heart gave me hope! Of course she had no clue that I'd been alone almost every day and night or what I had been enduring in my home for that matter. But looking back I remember how her arrangement spoke to places deep within my soul causing me to wonder why she thought I was worthy of her generosity. Because friends, in the midst of abuse, you don't really think you are worthy of anything beautiful or good. But that would be a lie – because you truly are!
In fact I remember thinking that Miss C, a beautiful single teacher, probably had a million and one things she could have spent her money on but she showered me with generous love and kindness. To receive her flowers meant she was thinking about me! Obviously, with my fifth grade year decades ago it is notable that Miss C's generosity is still at the top of my list of "generous love".
There are other examples from my life of people like Miss C – so very kind and generous – the memory of their generosity etched in my heart forever. So it was that Miss Evelyn's words again reminded me (and challenged me) of what type of women I want to be remembered as and here's the short list:
Generous with my love toward others. (Admittedly I want to be known as having extra sprinkles of generosity toward the vulnerable, the weak, the orphan and those with special needs)!
Generous with my "stuff"!
Generous with encouraging, uplifting and hope-filled words toward every single person I ever meet.
How about you?
What generosity from a friend or family member do you still recall years later?
