Since the Cirrus is normally flown on A/P
I do not fly the Cirrus any more on autopilot than any other aircraft with a good autopilot... and I have seen pilots over-rely on autopilot on something as modern as a Cherokee Six.
Quite to the contrary, I hazard a guess that most Cirrus non-owner pilots don't even use 20% of the capability of the G1000 and the autopilot.
That might be true, because you simply can't get good with the G1000 if you don't fly it a lot. Mine has an Avidyne cockpit plus DFC90 autopilot and while that combination is much easier to learn - it still takes time until you can fly it SAFELY. There's some dangerous traps to avoid and even if the Avidyne Entegra is much more simple it has enough features to confuse the newcomer. And you have to be really good with those GNS430s!
By the way, the sidestick is a life saver. Now, when you crash you don't have that steering wheel in front of you to cause injury. As said before, I fly over 300 hours per year in the Cirrus and love the aircraft and its features, but it is an advanced aircraft and the G1000/Perspective systems is not a beginners system. Taken that, I would not want to fly another aircraft or it must be a TBM850/PA46 for that matter or the upcoming Cirrus jet.
Let me add: it always bothered me when people use TWO hands to fly a Cessna or Piper. The second hand MIGHT be necessary sometimes in the flare while landing a Seneca or Baron - with a light single enginge It should (i think) stay on the throttle.
I have to keep one hand on the throttle in the C150 I hire as the friction nut is either so tight you cannot operate the throttle or so loose that the throttle rod just falls in/out by itself.
But then was always taught to fly with one hand on the yoke and one hand always on the throttle unless trimming, changing frequency, blowing your nose etc

by Bruce Epperly
Today's scriptures highlight risk and promise. The preacher needs to decide which pathways to take. Will she or he note all four scriptures or focus on only one or two of the passages? No preacher can be all-inclusive and decisions have to be made, especially in the context of a fifteen to twenty-five-minute sermon. Decision means "cutting off," as Alfred North Whitehead says, but such cutting off may open up new possibilities.
I am hard pressed to find much to commend the readings from Judges and Zephaniah. Although the wealthy of Jerusalem, as Zephaniah threatens, may deserve punishment as a result of their injustice and infidelity, there is virtually no grace in the passage. God is the judge, the unempathetic arbiter, the source of destruction, and epitome of wrath. Yes, acts have consequences: as Whitehead says, the best for a particular impasse may indeed be painful. By our own actions, we can minimize God's impact on our lives and communities and we may have to reap the whirlwind of our personal or corporate acts. As twelve step programs note, coming clean before God and others may be humiliating and painful, but the Higher Power ultimately has plans for us – for good and not for evil, for a future and hope, as Jeremiah proclaims. We may experience our personal or national collapse as the consequence of what we perceive to be divine intervention, but process theology, on the whole, sees the divine aim and God's use of power as ultimately remedial and healing in nature. At the very least, we lose our souls or deaden our emotional lives through acts of injustice. The passage from Zephaniah reminds us that there may be "hell to pay" for our nation's current love affair with consumerism, profit making, and environmental destruction to make a quick buck; our leaders' comfort with racism, policies that benefit the wealthy and harm the most vulnerable; and contentment with growing income inequality may lead to national disaster.
The passage from Judges, while ethically and theologically problematic, does lift up the role of one woman, Deborah, as a judge – a political and religious leader – over Israel, powerful enough to determine the course of battle. Despite the coverups perpetrated by so-called biblical literalists and their attempts to minimize the role of women as leaders in scripture and Christian history, Deborah reminds us that women can be spiritual, political, and military leaders and that they can wield wisdom that often eludes their male counterparts, then and now.
Psalm 123's giving voice to those in need, apparently crushed by the oppressors or the results of past behavior, reminds us that looking to God can deliver us from hopelessness. God's mercy and loving-kindness can restore us to wholeness and set us on a new path.
The reading from Thessalonians 5 challenges us to claim our identity as God's children of light. God can come to us at any moment. Any moment can be a moment of decision. There are "thin places" and "Kairos moments" everywhere and permeating every encounter. We don't need to wait for a Second Coming. Christ is already coming to us right now – with dreams, visions, possibilities, intuitions, and synchronous encounters. Deep down God is always revealing God's self to us; we are often however too busy about other things to feel God's presence or so tranquilized by trivialities that we miss the ever-present God-moments of life. Our sense of the divine can be awakened through prayer, meditation, and ongoing "crying for a vision," asking God for guidance, help, and insight. (For more on intuitive and synchronous experiences and encounters, see Bruce Epperly, "Angels, Mysteries, and Miracles: A Progressive Vision," Energion Publications.)
Jesus' parable of the talents is both inspiring and threatening. We would do well to emphasize the inspiration while redeeming the threat as a form of good counsel rather than punitive behavior. As I read this parable, I am reminded of Mary Oliver's question: "What do you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" I will be focusing on this scripture on the Sunday in which our church votes on its 2018 budget. The congregation, like many others, will be presented with the option of moving forward, taking some calculated risks and spending capital to expand its mission, or maintaining the status quo and retrenching in terms of outreach. Every congregation can be asked, "What do you plan to do with this one wild and precious church?"
In this parable, Jesus commends a type of responsible risk-taking. The servants who make a profit could also have a taken a loss. To simply sit on your assets – maintaining the status quo – will eventually deaden an organization and its participants, employees, and leaders. Just think of the companies that refused to innovate or failed to take advantage of new technologies or emerging markets. Many of them are now in freefall with little future ahead.
Wise risk-taking opens us to a world of possibilities that elude those who live in the past or hang on to the status quo. When we open to divine possibility and energy, we may initially feel insecure, but the frontiers of uncertainty and insecurity are full of promise for visionary risk-takers.
While there are hints of punishment in this parable, and the greatest punishment is found in a life of regret; a life of missed opportunities and love lost. God wants us to have abundant life, but we need to reach out for it. We need to follow Jesus' path and then forge ahead in directions toward which God points us.

Aren't the threats in this parable antithetical to the notion of God as divine "lurer", the one who entices us to do better, to do justice? What if one "enters" the parable as a 1st Century Syrian (where Matthew was probably written) and hears the irony or the threat of a culture which assures those at the bottom (the servants) a losing proposition whenever or how ever they cooperate with the oppressor whether that be Rome or the propertied class? To enter the joy of the master seems to me to be a masochistic opportunity to continue one's enslavement and to be caste out may not be that bad for it gives one the opportunity to find a life of joy hope and maybe justice. Not sure any of this makes sense and I don't know how to preach this yet to middle class small town folks in Wisconsin but am not comfortable with it as a simple parable of "use what you got for the glory of God". Thanks though for your thoughts.
I am struggling still with the wild risk taking- because the way it reads is that the risk for evil will prevail but for Christ it shall not…. then again, pondering if that can be tied to the freedom of eternal life in Christ and being freed from the system of slavery and inequality that the 3 slaves were living in. The 3rd slave was in essence freed in death and eternal life.

Have you ever found yourself stumped because your application locks up but doesn't seem to crash or in any other way indicate that there is an error? If you have, then you are likely the victim of a common problem that can occur when you attempt to make certain changes to the UI outside of the main thread. Put more technically … you are doing something that is not "Thread Safe".
To avoid "freezing" your application, ensure that any logic that is changing your UI is performed by the Main thread. One approach to this would be to leverage the

Chapter 102: We Are Here Today to Consult You on Cutting Techniques
Translator: OnGoingWhy Editor: Vermillion
"What are you looking at? Are you not satisfied? Never seen a rich man before?"
Qian Bao was immediately upset when he noticed the filthy beggar squatting in the corner was actually glaring at him. He swung his fox-skin overcoat and coldly berated the beggar.
Song Tao was dumbfounded. He pursed his lips together and looked at Qian Bao. He wondered where in the world this fellow obtained the courage to behave arrogantly in front of him. Even though his current appearance was indeed rather miserable... Nevertheless, he was still a sixth grade Battle-Emperor!
The middle-aged chef standing behind Qian Bao glanced at Song Tao in disgust as well. He waved his hand away and said, "As expected of a store opened within an alleyway. No wonder there's not many people coming through here. It's all because of filthy beggars like this. They're simply ruining the appetite of customers."
"Master Zhao, as long as you're able to get back our restaurant's prestige, I'll immediately give you a thousand gold coins when we get back! I'll guarantee you a blissful Spring Festival!" Qian Bao gave Master Zhao a glance and began laughing. This Master Zhao was the most skilled in cutting techniques among the chefs of the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant.
Qian Bao knew that no one within his restaurant could produce dishes with a taste comparable to the dishes from the black-hearted store. Even though he had never tasted them before, since Bu Fang's store had obtained the former emperor's recognition, their standard would definitely be at the level of his restaurant's Roasted Flower Duck. Therefore, defeating the black-hearted store with taste was too difficult.
Since that was not possible, he could only try with cutting techniques. Therefore, Qian Bao brought along the chef that was the most skilled in cutting techniques within the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant.
A thousand gold coins! Master Zhao's eyes immediately lit up and the corners of his mouth widened into a large grin. A thousand gold coins was already a huge sum of money to him. He had to work an entire year in order to get this much.
"No problem, boss! Leave this to me! I'll definitely use my cutting techniques to viciously pare that little restaurant's face! I'll let them understand what a real chef is!" Master Zhao reliably said while patting his chest.
"Alright, I am counting on you," Qian Bao said with a laugh.
After that, the two of them walked past Song Tao in revulsion and intended to enter the alleyway.
However, they might not care about Song Tao but the latter was displeased about them. Within the black-hearted store, Song Tao felt extremely vexed because of that supreme beast dog. After leaving the store, there were actually two blind fools that dared to prance around in front of him. They were even taunting him and treating him as a beggar.
When have you ever seen a beggar that was a sixth grade Battle-Emperor?
When Qian Bao felt a hand pressing down on his shoulder, he was startled for a moment. Then he felt his entire body being suppressed by an imposing presence and he was completely unable to move.
"What the! You filthy beggar, what are you trying to do? Don't push your luck! Remove your filthy hand!" When Master Zhao saw that Song Tao's hand was placed on Qian Bao's shoulder, he immediately started shouting and stretched his hand out toward Song Tao.
Song Tao's body shook for a moment as true energy instantly burst forth and blew away the snow that covered his body. His hair was fluttering and his clothes violently flapped under the outflow of his true energy. His eyes were sharp as a knife.
Master Zhao's hand that was just stretched out uncontrollably trembled. Damn... How did a filthy beggar suddenly turn into a cultivator?
Song Tao gave Master Zhao a wide-eyed glare and shouted, "Get lost!"
His voice violently surged forward like rolling thunder.
Master Zhao immediately took several steps backward in fear. Both of his legs were trembling. This presence... was too terrifying.
Even though Master Zhao had a cultivation level as well, he was only a second-grade Battle-Master. When faced with the terrifying aura of a sixth grade Battle-Emperor, he was close to wetting his pants in terror.
On the other hand, Qian Bao was still quite calm. He was someone who had seen the world after all, so his behavior was not as pathetic as Master Zhao.
"This lowly person failed to recognize such a great person. It is the fault of this lowly person for offending your excellency. I am the owner of the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant. I wish to set up a banquet for your excellency to express my apologies! Would your excellency please calm down..." Qian Bao said with a trembling body.
Song Tao was going to slap these two fellows to death at first. However, when he heard Qian Bao was the owner of the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant, he suddenly stopped his descending hand and then dispersed the true energy.
"Since they're from the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant... forget it," Song Tao thought.
"Hmph, if it wasn't for the fact that you're from the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant, I would've already slapped both of you to death!" Song Tao coldly said. The true energy swirling around him gradually dissipated and then he regained his serene appearance. "I heard the two of you saying that you're going to that black-hearted store in order to challenge Owner Bu, right?"
Qian Bao was startled for a moment before he hurriedly nodded his head and said, "That's right! We're indeed going there to challenge Owner Bu... However, if your excellency does not permit, we'll immediately turn back."
Even though Master Zhao was agonizing over the loss of the thousand gold coins, after thinking for a while, his life was far more important. Therefore, he was nodding his head as well.
"What are you going back for? Go compete with him! You must compete! Furthermore, you must compete with him outside!" Song Tao's eyes did a little turn before he said with a sneer.
Qian Bao and Master Zhao were both surprised for a moment. The two of them looked into each other's eyes. So, this filthy beggar... Oh, his excellency was not someone from the black-hearted store?
"Aren't the two of you going to challenge Owner Bu in cutting techniques? Why don't you set the location of the match right here at the alleyway's entrance? Wouldn't this be more fair and just?" Song Tao said.
"This... What's the difference? It's even harder to perform cutting techniques in the cold," Master Zhao silently complained.
"Just do what I tell you to do. Do you have any complaints?" Song Tao coldly said as he gave Master Zhao a glare. He did not dare to act impudent within the store because they had a supreme beast dog. However, what was stopping him from being arrogant in front of two ants?
Qian Bao could only helplessly accept Song Tao's decision in the end. Then, the two of them headed toward Bu Fang's store step by step while under Song Tao's watchful eyes.
Song Tao was feeling satisfied by his own wit. "Heh, I might not be able to do anything within the store. However, things are much simpler if we're here at the entrance of the alleyway. Even if that supreme beast dog intervenes, I'll still be able to escape! Furthermore, I'll be able to snatch away those two brats as well!"
Qian Bao rubbed his hands together and expelled a cloud of white breath as he stepped into Bu Fang's store. As he entered the store, it was like stepping into a warm world. While snow was swirling outside, the interior of the store was warm and cozy.
A rich fragrance was slowly wafting within the store and Qian Bao was instantly attracted by the fragrance of the fish soup and the mellowness of the meaty aroma. He could not help but swallow his saliva. As he had expected... Only the smell of the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant's Roasted Flower Duck could match this fragrance.
Master Zhao was a chef as well. The moment he smelled the aroma of the dishes, he knew he would definitely lose if they competed in cooking. He would lose without even having a chance to retaliate. The difference in level between them was too large.
"Hmm? It's you? What are you having?" Bu Fang recognized Qian Bao. Previously, he went to the latter's restaurant and found fault with their dishes from the first floor till the third floor. He criticized their dishes to the point where they had no merit to speak of. He was naturally familiar with their owner.
He did not think that Qian Bao would actually come into his store...
"Owner Bu should still remember me, right? On that day, Owner Bu's evaluation of Immortal Phoenix Restaurant's dishes has really allowed me to receive a lot of benefits. The taste of many of our dishes have indeed improved after undergoing revisions. However, the saying goes that we should reciprocate politeness. That's why... I brought our Immortal Phoenix Restaurant's number one chef here today to consult you."
Qian Bao's words were quite pompous, but the meaning was actually quite simple: We're here today to find fault. Since you found my fault, I must find yours. Otherwise, we'll lose our face!
"Consult?" Bu Fang expressionlessly glanced toward Qian Bao as well as that Master Zhao standing behind Qian Bao. He pursed his lips and then said, "If the level of your chef is the same as last time, then I won't accept, because the two of you don't have the qualification."
"We don't have the qualification..." The muscles on Master Zhao's face twitched for a moment. However, he was unable to refute either. The rich fragrance that pervaded the air was causing him to lose confidence.
However, compared to Master Zhao's forlorn appearance, Qian Bao looked much more calm. He looked around the store's interior and said with a grin, "Owner Bu, we're not here to consult you on cooking. We're here to... consult you on cutting techniques!"
Master Zhao's heart trembled for a moment, then he proudly raised his head and haughtily said, "That's right! We're here today to consult Owner Bu on your cutting techniques!"

The Department of Fisheries recently confirmed that despite its various promises over the past 2 years, the large pelagic fishery and particularly our Southern Bluefin tuna (SBT) catches, has confirmed how poor our fisheries management policies are and how they continue to deterring foreign and domestic investment in our fisheries economy.
The Department has confirmed that 75% of the 2018 SBT has not been caught. A mere 15 of the more than 50 right holders are fishing. What happened to the thousands of jobs we were promised when the Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tunas (CCSBT) announced South Africa's additional SBT quota?
Our ongoing failure to attract the vessels and professional experts to harvest our large pelagic quotas is directly rooted in the fact that foreign vessel owners and investors have identified South Africa as being entirely unattractive and in fact a significant risk to investment.
We need to urgently review how we manage this fishery; what measures are considered completely untenable to investors and South African right holders; we need to urgently halt the aggressive and confrontational fisheries compliance approach that has come to define the relationship between fishery control officers and vessel officers and crew.
We need to realise that we need investors in this and other fisheries more than they need us.

Bootie Brown of the Rap group The Pharcyde furthers his solo career, but not as Bootie Brown. The South Central Los Angeles native released his new BirdTalk mixtape this week as his alter ego Frank Friction.
Recently, Brown and fellow Pharcyde member Imani filed a lawsuit against the other two Pharcyde members, Fatlip and Slimkid3, soon after the latter pair announced tour dates under the name of The Pharcyde. The lawsuit claims that Brown and Imani now hold sole ownership over the brand and image of The Pharcyde.
"I really don't want to talk bad about the other two, but I don't want there to be as much fighting as there is," Slimkid3 said during a recent interview. "Fighting is more expensive. We can make so much money together. Eventually we'll die and history will be whatever it is, but right now we have opportunities to not fight."
The BirdTalk cover art, tracklist and mixtape download are as follows:
1. "Welcome" f. Kevyn Richmond

The allegations against Sonia Gandhi on the issue of foreign origin become more frequent from different political groups, when she decided to campaign for some constituencies of short-lived 12th Loksabha (Lower House of the Indian Parliament) elections in 1998 and next year to contest herself for 13th Loksabha in 1999, after getting elected for Congress President on 14th March 1998. However the first strong protest against Sonia came from within the party's senior leadership, after her becoming the congress President. When Senior Congress leaders like – Mr. Sharad Pawar, Mr. Tarique Anwar and Mr. P.A. Sangama left the Congress party and formed Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) on 25th May 1999 to prevent Sonia becoming Prime Minister of the country on the issue of foreign origin. However later on NCP, which was formed to oppose Sonia Gandhi on the issue of foreign origin found irrelevant to oppose Sonia on this issue, and joined the Congress led coalition government at the centre formed after 14th Loksabha elections in 2004 and NCP leader Sharad Pawar also joined the central cabinet of Dr. Man Mohan Singh as a minister for agriculture. Moreover opposition to Sonia Gandhi was raised by her political opponents after many years of her taking Indian citizenship on 30th April 1983 and renouncement of her Italian citizenship on 27th April 1983 (10) like opposition to Daw Suu Kyi by tatmadaw and others, after her becoming potent individual political force in Burma's democratic movement. Later on, another founder leader of the NCP, Mr. P.A. Sangama and former Lok Sabha speaker announced in May 2005 that, "Congress president Sonia Gandhi's foreign origin is no longer an issue after she refused to become Prime Minister." (11)
Sonia Gandhi, who refused to become Prime Minister after 14th Lok Sabha election in May 2004 on the call of her "inner voice" like Gandhi's refusal to contest for Congress Presidentship after 1924 Belgaon Congress session, could have easily become Prime Minister in June 1991, when P.V. Narasimha Rao, the initiator of India's constructive engagement policy (Look East Policy) with Burma's military junta become Prime Minister & congress leader; and congress demand for her leadership was very forceful after Rajiv Gandhi's assassination. It was sincere sacrifice of state power from Sonia, which made her popular within the party and tallest among all congress politicians.
Like Sonia Gandhi, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has been also facing similar opposition from military junta in Burma. And attack on her of foreign allegiance become more pertinacious after her first public appearance as a leader at Rangoon General Hospital on 24th August 1988 & first of her mass rallies at holy Shwedagon Pagoda on 26th of August 1988. (12)
And in the same pattern of malignancy against Sonia Gandhi, in a different historical setting, SPDC, earlier known as State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC) become successful on 11 December 1991 in breaking NLD and to expel Daw Aung San Suu Kyi from the party with the help from U Aung Shwe. (13)
Furthermore, SLORC Secretary number one- Maj-Gen. Khin Nyunt made a major speech to government officials on the political situation and on the actions and status of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi on 24th December 1991, making even her childhood stay at India as a part of foreign allegiance like political detractors of Mrs. Sonia Gandhi and he says, that, "In 1960, when Daw Suu Kyi was only 15 years old, she went along with her mother Daw Khin Kyi and lived with her when she took up her duties as Ambassador to India. She went to England to pursue her studies in 1964. It is learnt that one Mr Gore Booth looked after her while she was in England. There was also news that Mr Gore Booth even adopted her….He [also] served as British Ambassador to Myanmar …from 1953 to 1956 and became very friendly with Daw Suu Kyi's mother Daw Khin Kyi. Daw Suu Kyi went to live in the United States…in 1969 and worked as an employee of the United Nations. While working at the United Nations she got married to a British Subject Michael Aris at the Kensington Registration Office in London on 31-12-71. The elder son Alexander John Christopher Aris was born in Kensington, London, on 12-4-73 and younger son Dannian Kin Arundel Aris was born at Oxford, London , on 24-9-77, it is learnt. The Myanmar Embassy was not informed about the birth of the children. Birth certificates of the children were not sent or applied. These two children are not entitled to become citizens of Myanmar…according to Section 5(a) of the Union of Myanmar Citizenship Law of 1948 and because they are not in conformity with Chapter 2 of the Myanmar…Citizenship Law of 1982 which deals with Citizenship. As for Daw Suu Kyi, from the time she got to England to pursue studies, she never informed the Myanmar Embassy in London and lived on her own." And it further goes on to her passport issue that, "Although Daw Suu Kyi obtained permission to hold Myanmar passport, she failed time and again to comply with duties and responsibilities to be abided by Myanmar citizens…. She failed to [renew her passport] during the period 17-5-80 to 26-5-81. She had nothing to do with Myanmar…since that date. One of Daw Suu Kyi's dishonest efforts was the attempt to procure Myanmar…passports for her two sons. Though her two sons were born abroad [and neither reported nor registered] she dishonestly put the names of both her sons on her… passport…. Both her sons have no right to be the citizens of Myanmar …according to the Citizenship Law." (14)
The official statement of Maj. Gen. Khin Nyunt in 1991 on Daw Suu Kyi reflects sad historical things for the history of modern Burma. Particularly, the statements was given by those General against Bogyoke's grandsons, who had fought independence struggle of Burma, as a part of group of "thirty" under the leadership of Bogyoke Aung San.
Although, tatmadaw's many positive roles can't be denied in Modern history of Burma and even Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and NLD would need in future democratic era, a well organized army to keep Burma's prestige high and strong among nations of the world. However, it is an intellectual bankruptcy of the tatmadaw leadership to criticize inclusion of name of son by a mother in her passport as a dishonest? Whether is it a crime to say that, I'm a mother of my son in any civilization? Tatmadaw's vision is missing one thing that, best of the laws and rules have evolved in human civilization to protect and establish – individual liberty, dignity, equality and fraternity. And, if any government takes to implement any rule, then it has to take that rule in totality. It is not that one accepts some provisions of 1948 and 1982 rules and rejects other things without including all groups view on new rules of law framing.
However the new rules and clarification recommended by the Plenary Session of the National Convention held at Nyaunghnapin Camp in Hmawby Township, Yangon Division, on 28th October 2006, under the Chairmanship of Chief Justice U Aung Toe of the National Convention Convening Work Committee related with the detailed basic principles for the Chapter "Citizenship, Fundamental Rights & Duties of Citizens" for drafting the State Constitution, forbids the sons of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi to take citizenship of Burma in future and according to the new proposed rule number one: "All persons who have either one of the following requirements are citizens of the Union of Myanmar: (a) All persons born of parents both of whom are nationals of the Union of Myanmar. (b) Persons who are vested with citizenship according to the existing laws on the date this Constitution comes into force." (15)
Sonia Gandhi's love for Burma's Democratic Movement and Daw Suu Kyi:
Sonia Gandhi's first significant interaction with Burmese people got realized on 15th of December 1987, when she visited Rangoon with her husband and India's then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi with a fifteen member official delegation to Burma. The high level official delegation of Indian Prime Minister was accompanied by then India's Minister for Foreign Affairs – Mr. Natwar Singh, Foreign Secretary – KPS Menon and illustrious information advisor to the Prime Minister – Mr. H Y Sharda Prasad. The Indian Prime Minister together with Mrs. Sonia Gandhi visited the holy Shwedagon Pagoda to pay respect to Lord Buddha's relic and made donation of Kyat 250,000, and the tomb of India's last Mughal Emperor and symbol of 1857 revolt, King Bahadur Shah Zafar, where he donated Kyat 200,000 and carpets to the Dargah. Rajiv Gandhi also presented Chairman U Ne Win with an original palm-leaf manuscript of Burmese General Maha Bandoola (hero of the first Anglo-Burmese War in 1826), which had been preserved in the Victoria Museum at New Delhi. Mrs. Sonia Gandhi also took keen interest in visiting National Museum of Burma and the Burma Gems Corporation. (16) However at that time, Daw Suu Kyi had not entered into the politics of Burma and Sonia Gandhi was not aware that soon after few months, She and her husband would come out openly for the support for the restoration of democratic movement in Burma led by the 'New Gandhi' of Burma after U Ottama – Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.

Sanitation is in the top priority in
Kumbh Mela 2019, as it is very evident with the facilities provided by the government in the Mela area.
government took every precaution and made the facilities for the pilgrims to stop open defecation in the mela area. For this government has
installed about 1.22 lakhs of the toilet in the Mela area to avoid the scenes of open defecation and maintain the hygiene level. To make sure the cleaning of these toilets the
government has appointed about 20,000
sanitation workers. In which half were hired by the Health Department and the rest through the outsourced vendor. Each worker works for an eight-hour shift to keep the area and toilets clean.
All these workers are doing there bit to make the area clean for each visiting pilgrim.
But the reality is quite different after so much effort by the government and the sanitation worker, still, many people can be seen with having a bottle of water in hand and promoting open defecation. So, much of arrangement of toilets by the government seems less for them. Or, it is just a stubborn behavior that they don't want to change and letting all the facilities go in vain.
Not only the government, but there also are many other people in the mela area who are promoting the concept of cleanliness and opt for eco-toilets instead of open defecation. A 'Stanford University' Graduate became Sadhvi after visiting India in 1996, and she took the name of 'Sadhvi Bhagwati Saraswati'. In the ongoing Kumbh Mela, she praised the State Government's preparation at Kumbh and even promoting sanitation and
hygiene in Kumbh Mela through the 'Toilet Cafeteria'. She organized her akhara in a unique way and encouraging devotees to use toilets. She organized her cafe in such a way by replacing the normal chairs with Commode (English Toilets) style chairs.
The Sadhavi is spreading an awareness message among all the visitors to use toilets and avoid scenes of open defecation. Still, we can see a number of people standing on the road and urinating openly. Why we are not realizing our duties and making our city clean? It is the high time to realize our responsibilities and duties towards
the society and the
environment. It is utter nonsense to always blame the government for the services until we didn't realize our responsibilities towards society. No one can change us unless we didn't want to change. So, accept the change for good and make your city and surrounding clean.
Health and Hygiene don't only involve using toilets and avoid open defecation, but also, the litters, spitting pan-masala, garbage waste, all these came under the hygiene and health. So, people need to be aware and use the toilets and dustbin for making their purpose meaningful. Don't just stand here and there to pee, or through
garbage anywhere. The government has installed so many toilets, just take a little effort go there and use them likewise use the garbage holder to put into the waste instead of throwing it anywhere. Be responsible and set an example for others as well to adopt these good habits.
Exploring the World with Words and different Experiences.
The government has done many arrangements for making the area of Kumbh Mela clean, but the area will only be clean when people will get aware of it. The Government can provide a clean place and take preventive measure to keep it clean but to make this happen in a continuation is only up to the public to make it possible.
Awareness and responsible behavior are expected from every individual to make this clean Kumbh Mela a reality. If a person has to live there at the same place for about 2months then why not take the responsibility to make his or her surrounding clean. Likewise, every visitor or the pilgrim can take the initiative and a small step can count and make the place clean for others as well.
As we say, every individual counts, similarly, to make our surrounding clean every individual can take the responsibility of their surroundings and keep the whole place clean.
People need to adapt their activities with the changing environment instead of following traditional activities. Always holding the traditions is not a good call, we need to adapt ourselves and our habits as the environment changes.

"And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance." Acts 2:1-4
The Church was born in the most difficult of circumstances. The early believers of the Lord Jesus Christ have to come against the great religious and political forces of their time. The first Christians, being purely Jews had to endure tremendous persecution among their countrymen for coming out of their Judaism, the Jewish faith based on the Old Testament Laws which, in reality, were foreshadows of the true Messiah which they rejected, the Lord Jesus Christ (Isaiah 26:16; Acts 4: 11-12; I Pet 2: 4-6). The ruling political power of their time was the great Roman Empire who have subjugated and oppressed Israel and was violently hostile against the followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. Despite of all these tremendous odds, the believers multiplied vigorously and the word of the Lord, the gospel went from Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the uttermost part of the earth (Acts 1:8; 2: 41-47; 17: 6). What was the key to the early Church's great success? Biblical history tells us the key: The outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon God's redeemed people on the Day of Pentecost!
This week, we celebrate one of the important Feasts of the Lord: The Feast of Pentecost (Exo 23: 16; Lev 23: 15-16). Today, the whole Christian world celebrates Pentecost Sunday! The Lord Jesus Himself, appearing to His disciples after His resurrection, promised the coming of this special day of the Holy Spirit outpouring when he instructed His faithful followers (Acts 1: 5,8). It was exactly 50 days after the Lord Jesus' crucifixion and death that the Holy Spirit came in power filling the 120 remnants of the Lord's followers with His power manifested in cloven tongues of fire (Acts 2: 1-4). It was the birth of the glorious church of the Lord Jesus Christ! The Apostle Peter, explaining to the people in Jerusalem what they were witnessing declared that this phenomenon was what the prophet Joel declared in Joel 2: 28-29. The church grew in power from the Pentecost experience in that Upper Room and the word of the Lord grew mightily and prevailed from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth.
It is important to remember that the First Pentecost that happened in Israel was marked by the giving of the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai, fifty days after their first Passover celebration the night before they came out of Egypt. The Second Pentecost came 50 days after the Lord Jesus, the Passover Lamb, offered His life on the cross for the redemption of all mankind. Today, we look forward to the third and final Pentecost when God will pour out His Spirit once again in an unlimited measure to all flesh of every nation, tribe and tongue! This is final Pentecost, the manifestation of the power of the "Age to Come" that will mark the freedom of those whom God will redeem from the power of Sin and death from the four corners of the earth! Indeed, God will have a people for Himself (Rev 7:9) and the Lord Jesus Christ will have His Bride (Rev 19:7).

I am a new owner of the 2002 Coleman Cottonwood. I have many questions and you may see them later. The most concerning one at this moment are the electric brakes. As I had the trailer prepped for a virgin trip to Megunticutt in ME I asked that the brakes be connected to my new 'trailer ready' 2013 Highlander. I have been told the Highlander must be rewired from the dashboard back to the hitch (I believe a 5 or 7 prong plug) before these brakes will work. Ok, got that, but did not expect it (never had a camper before, tents don;t need brakes).
Off to Toyota, same information. The clincher is they don't ever refit the cars, don't know how to do it and from them 'you do not want to pay us a
$100/hour to learn'. I likely agree. Others who pull trailers tell me I do not need these breaks for a trailer (unloaded) weighing 2200 pounds.
First, I would like any opinions on need and second, where would one go to have a car rewired for the brakes?
Thanks much for any input. Work would get done in Saratoga Springs, NY (25 miles north of Albany).
Welcome from a fellow New Yorker. First anything above 2000 lbs needs brakes. And Acenorm is correct use a Trailer place and check out E-trailer.
Welcome to the world of trailering. I have 2004 Viking Legend 2465st. I hitch it to a 2011 Toyota Highlander. When it came time to address braking, I contacted Weaver Industries. They sell everything that has to do with towing. I spoke with a rep over the phone and after talking year, make, and model he sold me the perfect hitch and electric brake controller with all the wiring. I took it to my regular mechanic who installed the whole package and it works perfectly. They even shipped it to me next day…free! Good Luck.
wow, small world, I just had a 7 pin and brake controller installed in my 2013 Highlander! I was very lucky to have a friend willing to help, but if I didn't I would have taken it to a local trailer maintenance place recommended by another good friend. You're right about car places "learning at $100/hour". My car threw some warning lights a few weeks after I had it installed. I brought it in and they charged me $111 to tell me the trailer brake wire was rubbing against the steering wheel and that's what made the code come up. We looked and the wires were like new. They just guessed what might have caused the problem.
As for if it's required or not, just look at any video of a vehicle crash started by sway, and you'll feel comfortable spending the money on a brake controller/brakes! I feel better knowing my car isn't doing all the work to stop, especially if I had to stop suddenly.

Here comes a little background information for those of you curious about the inner makings and ideas used in loadUI.
Perhaps the biggest "surprise" when first being exposed to loadUI is the user interface. There is a story for this; when we started planning our next tool about two years ago we had a couple of primary goals we wanted to achieve, many of them related to the usability and user-interface of the product; we wanted it to be cool, eye-catching and innovative but still usable and easy to understand - not an easy feat. Doing this with Swing seemed possible but not very "natural" (although we really like Swing!), and using some non-java technology wasn't really an option since we wanted to use OSGi for a modular core and be able to reuse code from our soapUI project. JavaFX was still in its early stages and seemed really promising, so we took the decision and have been mostly very happy since; having the possibility to create a "fluent" interface like the one we have on top of an enterprise core using all the latest technologies is a perfect match for us. We have had a usability expert designing much of interface and usability; much of the loadUI interface was actually created on paper long before we got around to coding it.
Since the loadUI front end is almost pure JavaFX (a couple of Swing components are still there for performance or functionality reasons), it utilizes a lot of the included features; we rely heavily on the included Controls, such as TextBoxes, Buttons, CheckBoxes, etc. (and hope for many more to come in future iterations of JavaFX). Most of the graphical parts of loadUI uses a mixture of Images, FXDs and Shapes to achieve the desired look, and as often as possible we try to use CSS to style these. The CSS improvements in 1.3 have made a huge difference, allowing us to move away from custom controls in a lot of areas and use the standard ones with some custom styling. Another area which improved quite a bit in 1.3 is the layouting. Before, we had to implement our own custom layouts a lot of the time. Now we can achieve the same using the existing Containers and different LayoutInfo properties, and we also make heavy use of the XMigLayout provided by the JFXtras project.
At its core loadUI makes heavy use of the Apache Felix OSGi implementation. It consists of a number of different bundles, many of them being pure Java and forming the "back-end" of the application. One of the bundles, loadui-api, holds a number of Java Interfaces, exposing the functionality of loadUI. Any front-end to loadUI will mainly access the backend through the API, but also through the Service layer in OSGi. The JavaFX front-end does just this, as does the command-line runner now available in the nightly builds. They are implemented as OSGi bundles as well and listen for the various Services that the core API defines (which are provided by the other bundles). To make things a bit easier, we use the Spring Dynamic Modules project which provides IoC and manages exporting and importing OSGi Services.
Another one of our initial goals was to make it easy for others to add their own components to loadUI. For this purpose we have a really cool component architecture in loadUI which allows you to create your own custom components by simply writing Groovy scripts and saving them to the file system. These then show up inside of loadUI and act just as the standard component set (in fact, almost all the standard components were created in this way). The challenge here was how to specify the look of the component in groovy, which is then rendered by JavaFX. We solved this by basically using an MVC pattern, where you write the Model for the component in Groovy, and the JavaFX code renders the View. The whole infrastructure is extremely dynamic; you can create and modify custom components and they will be automatically picked up and updated in the loadUI interface (a blog post on this is in the making) without requiring you to restart loadUI or even stop your tests.
loadUI has a really nice infrastructure for distributing your LoadTests to multiple loadUI Agents (interactively, drag-and-drop, etc); each agent basically has the same core infrastructure as the main application but without the JavaFX bundle and interface. Communication between the loadUI Controller (as we call it) and its configured agents goes over the CometD protocol (using Jetty), and is even SSL encrypted for security reasons. This gives us both a very low overhead and high flexibility, and since it is based on standard HTTP(S), most networks should not have a problem handling these communications. Read more on how this works in loadUI in the Agents and TestCases document.
One other challenge we met was that of redistribution; currently one is not allowed to redistribute the JavaFX runtime for legal reasons, and providing loadUI as a downloadable webstart application didn't seem feasible. We have solved this by running the main loadUI application as local web-start application (via javaws) with a standard jnlp dependency to the JavaFX runtime; our installer installs the required JRE and sets up all required paths in the bat and jnlp files, in this way we were able to provide our users with an almost-standard way of installation applications. This is a temporary solution though; as soon as the JavaFX runtime redistribution is allowed we will do that instead, as it will not require an internet connection for the installer to work and gives us better control of the actual execution environment.

What are Cash Advance Loans
Cash Advance Loan. The average family home in the UK doesn't have a lot of money in their saving account. The cost of living is higher now and if you have kids or other responsibilities to think about, it's not uncommon to live from month to month on your wages. This means that when something happens you weren't expecting, it can leave you with some financial worries.
Unfortunately, emergencies can happen when you least expect them and they always seem to be expensive. For example, your car may break down and need repair from the local garage, otherwise you can't get to work. Perhaps you've got a roof leak over the winter and it's needing fixed immediately to prevent further damage to your home. Whatever the problem is, you can find that you don't have enough money in your savings account to cover it. So, what should you do now?
First of all, don't panic. There are ways you can get around this financial problem without getting yourself into trouble. We'd recommend a cash advance. We call this a short-term or payday loan. This can provide you with the cash you need for your emergency. This means you'll have money for the problem, as well as enough to live until payday comes around. Sounds good, right?
Let's find out a little bit more about cash advance loans and what you can do when you need cash now.
What Are the Benefits of a Cash Advance Loan?
So, why should you consider a cash advance loan? Well, it is a great way to receive money in the case of an emergency. There are no limits on what you can spend the money on from this short-term loan. This is totally up to you. This means that you're free to use the money for anything, such as a boiler replacement, new car or even to pay off a holiday. Of course, we would always recommend choosing a cash advance loan for something that is an emergency. This is a way to avoid unnecessary loans that you may struggle to pay back later on. A cash advance loan should be used as a way to remove the financial strain and stress you may be experiencing right now before payday comes around.
In addition, cash advance loans tend to be for small amounts of money. But the good thing is that you can choose a repayment option that suits your financial situation. For example, if you just need some extra cash before payday then this is going to be a great option for you. Alternatively, you can choose to pay the loan back over several months. The main thing is that you find a repayment plan that you know you can make work. Of course, you should also bear in mind that there will be interest to pay back on top of the money that you've borrowed.
We all find ourselves in financial hardship sometimes. But the advantage of a cash advance loan is that the money can be with you sooner than you think. It's often easier to get a cash advance loan than a long-term loan. This means that the money will be with you so you can use it straight away.

Attack on New Lodge home 'wrong' – Ní Chuilín
Sinn Féin MLA Carál Ní Chuilín has condemned an attack on a house in the New Lodge area of North Belfast.
The North Belfast MLA said:
"The attack on a house in the New Lodge is wrong and I condemn it.
"Windows were smashed and the front of the property attacked with paint, leaving neighbours and elderly residents frightened.
"This attack was carried out by Action Against Drugs (AAD) just days after their desperate attempt to gain relevance.
"There is no place for these types of vigilante groups. They have been rejected by the people of the New Lodge and should now get off the community's back.
"All criminality should be dealt with by the police."

You may remember a wise adult telling your younger self "don't spend all your money!" or "save it for a rainy day!"
That's good advice. Unfortunately, many Americans ignore it. According to MagnifyMoney, "29 percent of households have less than $1,000 in savings
(Horymski 2018) ." Ouch.
In a world where no one ever loses a job or is injured, this is probably not a big deal. But let's face it: we don't live in that world. People have unexpected hospital stays, car accidents, failed appliances, and friends and family in need. In such a financial environment, having no savings account is risky – even dangerous.
What is a savings account?
A savings account is a special kind of bank account dedicated to storing your money. In contrast to a checking account, a savings account is intended to hold – and keep – your money for a period of time. Sure. A checking account will hold your money just fine, but a savings account is dedicated for this purpose.
Why do you need a savings account?
Ok. But maybe you're not convinced. Maybe you're happy with your standard checking account. That's fine if you are, but you're leaving a few great benefits on the table.
Earned interest
Depending on the bank and options you choose, your savings account can earn you money. As a reward for keeping your money in the bank, your bank will gift you a percentage of your balance. This means that as long as you keep money in the account, it's earning more money for you.
Now, you're not going to get rich doing this, of course. But it's a nice perk.
Money is set aside
A checking account is meant to be used. You're constantly adding money to and taking money out of a checking account. Use it to buy gas, get lunch, pay your bills. A saving account is meant to sit and not be touched.
Separating your spending (checking) account and savings account creates a mental division between the two funds. Yes, both accounts have your money, and yes you can spend the contents of either at any time. But that's the wrong mindset.
Use your checking account any time you want. But add to your savings account and leave the money there. This money is taken out of your checking account so you don't see it, and you'll be less likely to spend it.
If you're like me – an impulse shopper – hiding my money from myself is a good thing. I can still get to it if I need it. But I'm not going to check my account balance and think "Ooh hey. I have money! What can I buy?"
Unexpected expenses
Life is unpredictable. People lose jobs, get hurt, crash cars, break appliances. Life happens. What happens if you don't have a backup?
Imagine, if you will, you have $381 in your bank account. No savings. About $12K in credit card debt. Pretty typical.
You're driving home from work one sunny afternoon and total your car. Insurance will cover it, right? Wrong. You only have liability coverage. No check for you. Great.
You have to have a car to get to work, but you don't have enough to buy a replacement. What do you do? Take out a loan? Use a credit card? Ouch.
If you had a backup fund, you wouldn't need to go further in debt. You could simply transfer what you needed from savings and pay cash.
Expected expenses
You know you want to replace that noisy washing machine or buy a new car. You don't have the cash right now, but you'll save up for it – so you tell yourself. Your paycheck hits, but you find yourself spending most of your money – not on bills, just little things here and there. Little unnecessary expenses.
Instead, consider disciplining yourself into putting what you don't need into your savings account. If the money isn't visible to you in your checking account, you may be less likely to spend it on those impulse buys. Over time, what you've saved will add up so you can drop a wad of cash on that big ticket item and leave the plastic at home.
Should you open a savings account?
So, should you open a savings account or should you stick with a normal checking account? Obviously I'm not a financial adviser, so please don't take my word for it.
However, I strongly advise looking into the possibility. Savings accounts offer a level of financial stability that many other accounts simply don't. They encourage healthy financial habits and can help you grow your wealth.
What's not to like?
If you have questions about your options, meet with a professional at your bank or your personal financial adviser. A professional can walk you through the pros and cons and help you decide what is best for you.

Come Long Expected Jesus!
Hebrews 6:13-20a
Take hold of Hope in Jesus!
Come Long Expected Jesus!
Hebrews 6:13-20a
Take hold of Hope in Jesus!
Advent Series Week One: Hark the Herald Angels Sing!
How can we find peace with all the unknowns in our lives?
A heart at peace gives life to the body. Proverbs 14:30
And How can we know Him? These verses can help us figure that out.
John 14:8-17 (NIV)
Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us."
Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves. Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. "If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever The Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.
What can we learn about #Hope from these verses of Romans.
We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up. For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written: "The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me." For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.
May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews on behalf of God's truth, so that the promises made to the patriarchs might be confirmed and, moreover, that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written:
"Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles;
I will sing the praises of your name." Again, it says, "Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people." And again, "Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles;
let all the peoples extol him."And again, Isaiah says, "The Root of Jesse will spring up, one who will arise to rule over the nations;
in him the Gentiles will hope."
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
One of the most difficult things about following Jesus; being defined as a "Christian;" is when things happen in our world that are hard to rationalize with our image of God.
The truth is that in our lives, in our journey of faith, there will be questions that may cause us to doubt.
That is what we see in the book of Habakkuk. A man of God asking tough questions.
Habakkuk was not unlike us today.
His country, Judah seemed to be on a downward spiral.
An enemy country was rising in power and strength.
God's people were straying from God.
It seemed as if evil was winning.
Doesn't it seem that way in our country?
Habakkuk 1:2-4
How long, Lord, must I call for help,
but you do not listen?
Or cry out to you, "Violence!"
but you do not save?
Why do you make me look at injustice?
Why do you tolerate wrongdoing?
Destruction and violence are before me;
there is strife, and conflict abounds.
Therefore the law is paralyzed,
and justice never prevails.
The wicked hem in the righteous,
so that justice is perverted.
Great witness of what a group of believers can do standing in and on God's Truth + Grace!
Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Galilee. It happened this way: Simon Peter, Thomas, Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together. "I'm going out to fish," Simon Peter told them, and they said, "We'll go with you." So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.
Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. He called out to them, "Friends, haven't you any fish?" "No," they answered. He said, "Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some." When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.
Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, "It is the Lord," he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water. The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about a hundred yards. When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread. Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish you have just caught." So Simon Peter climbed back into the boat and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn. Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." None of the disciples dared ask him, "Who are you?" They knew it was the Lord. Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead.
When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?" "Yes, Lord," he said, "you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Feed my lambs."
Again Jesus said, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" He answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Take care of my sheep." The third time he said to him, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, "Do you love me?" He said, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Feed my sheep. "
Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go." Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, "Follow me!"
On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!" After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord. Again Jesus said, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you." And with that he breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone's sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven."
Now Thomas, one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe."
A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!" Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe." Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!" Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believe; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
I usally like to place the text of the Scripture that was the basis of my Sunday Message. However with the length of this reading I decided not to do that. Below is a link for an audio version of it if you wish to listen. https://www.biblegateway.com/audio/mclean/niv/Luke.23
Here is the audio of the message I gave at Blades UMC on Palm/Passion Sunday 2019.
Scritpure for Pastor Kevin's Message 4/07/19
Philippians 3:4b-16
If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more: circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee; as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for righteousness based on the law, faultless. But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 1and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. Only let us live up to what we have already attained.

JJ Sun
Education Programme Manager, World Animal Protection
After obtaining a bachelor degree in Biology Sciences from Tianjin Normal University in China, JJ Sun continued to pursue an MSc course on Meat Science and Technology at Bristol University, UK where she systematically studied Animal Welfare and Animal Production. To better contribute to animal protection, she is now studying a bachelor degree in Veterinary Medicine at China Agriculture University.
In 2007, JJ joined Anhua Animal Products Safety Research Institute (APSRI) and worked as an A-level humane slaughter trainer, mainly responsible for delivering humane slaughter training in universities and meat industries across the nation, and has accumulated rich experience and skills in this field. The number of trainees that have been directly trained by her is up to 1,000.
In 2013, she joined World Animal Protection and took charge of the education programme. By cooperating with China Veterinary Association, she introduced the "Model Vet School" project to Chinese vet schools. She was also responsible for organizing and publishing the first guide book 'Introduction to Animal Welfare' for animal science and medicine schools in China. JJ is dedicated to promoting animal protection and welfare concepts amongst tertiary universities, middle and primary schools; which can help eliminate cruelty on animals and boost the sustainable development of human society.
