You have a lot of options when it comes to flooring in your home. However, the different levels of work it takes to install are a consideration – not to mention individual pros and cons. So, how do you decide?
Well, first you need to know about different flooring types. In this article, we will go over three of the main types that you will be considering: hardwood, laminate, and carpeted flooring in flooring in your house.
Hardwood Flooring: Flooring in Your House
Hardwood flooring is, as the name suggests, strong. It won't break easily and it won't suffer in a high-traffic room. It is also easy to clean since it only takes a mop and broom to clean up.
If you are looking to improve the acoustics in a room, hardwood flooring won't muffle sound like a carpet will. However, if you want to change the look or sound of your room, you can simply throw some rugs down without any problem.
Unlike carpeting, hardwood flooring is great for someone with allergy. Allergens won't get caught in the room, like they can in the fibers of a carpet.
Unfortunately, though, there are some drawbacks as well. First, hardwood flooring is one of your most expensive options. On top of that, they aren't as pet-friendly since they are more likely to scratch than other types of flooring.
Hardwood floors are also louder. Stepping across one is likely to make a lot of noise rather whereas a carpet would muffle the sound.
Tools Needed for Installation
Before you get started installing hardwood flooring, you will need the tools below.
- Pry Bar
- Tape Measure
- Safety Gear
The exact method of installation for your hardwood floor will vary depending on the type you buy and the kit that you purchase. However, you will need the above tools to be ready to tackle whatever is thrown at you.
If you are unsure how to install your particular kit, don't worry though. Usually a simple web search or a conversation with someone at your local hardware store is enough to get you through. If not then there are, of course, services that can lay the hardwood floor down for you.
Laminate Flooring
When you get laminate flooring, you are going to have a floor that looks better than vinyl but not quite as good as hardwood flooring. However, you will save money on them compared to real, hardwood floors.
These floors are easy to clean as well. They only need to be wiped up with a mop and swept from time to time. It also doesn't show the same amount of wear as hardwood floor, making it keep its looks much longer.
It also stands up to water better. This means that you won't have to worry about water stains or warping because of water. If water is left to stand, though, you will have problems with warping and buckling as well.
Laminate flooring will need to be replaced sooner, unfortunately. The signs of wear and tear usually become too evident after around 10 years of use. This is mainly because laminate – compared to hardwood flooring – is very thin, making it less durable.
If you sell your home with vinyl installed rather than hardwood, you are likely to get a lower return rate. This is because laminate is valued at a lower sale price than that of hardwood.
Tools Needed for Installation
To install laminate flooring, you will need the following:
- Pry Bar
- Hand Trim Saw
- Level
Much like the hardwood flooring, exact installation procedures will differ from one type of laminate flooring to another. For precise instructions, look to the manufacturer of your kit, a local home improvement store employee, or even online.
There are plenty of different advantages that you can draw from carpeting. First and foremost, you will notice the feeling. Carpet – as compared to laminate and hardwood flooring – is much softer. This makes it so that it is ideal for families with children or even if you just find yourself sitting on the floor.
Carpet is also one of the quietest choices. Think about the sound of someone walking across a hardwood or laminate floor. It's loud and clunky. However, with the use of carpeting, this sound is brought down to nearly silence.
Carpets also add extra insulation to your room. This means that it will trap heat, keeping your room warmer in the winter. More than just the carpet itself, the padding underneath the carpet adds this insulation.
Unfortunately, carpet has some distinct disadvantages as well. For one, it is extremely hard – and sometimes expensive – to clean as well. In fact, you can even go through all of that work only to notice that the cleaning didn't make much of a difference. This is especially a problem with lighter colored carpets.
As well as stains, though, carpets hold moisture as well. This can be a bigger problem than just making it difficult to pick up messes. In fact, trapped moisture can lead to mold or mildew. These substances – if not taken care of – can be a health hazard.
Finally, we are brought back to carpets retaining heat. If you live somewhere with a hotter climate, you will probably want to avoid carpeting.
Tools Needed for Installation
To install a carpet, you will need the following tools and hardware:
- Tack Strip Cutter
- Hand Stapler
- Wall Trimmer
- Tackless Strip
- Tape
- Utility Knife
Make sure that before you do anything, measure the area of the room and find out how much carpet you will need. Then, you will need to tear up whatever floor you have and clean the subfloor extremely well.

A lost city. A missing tribe. And treasure beyond imagining.
When archaeologist Annja Creed attends an auction in Botswana featuring personal effects of an infamous explorer, she purchases a small and seemingly unremarkable piece of art. It's not until the explorer's son makes a desperate attempt to steal it that Annja uncovers the secret of the painting or rather, the secret map behind the painting.
The map points to the Lost City of the San tribe, bushmen who had long ago disappeared off the face of the planet and whose city — so legend has it — was once littered with diamonds. But is the map an epic archaeological discovery or a fantastic work of fiction? Compelled to find out, Annja must face not only the perils of the African bush, but a treacherous son determined to take back his father's greatest legacy... no matter what the cost.

What is the Difference between your Brand Story & Sales Message?
Posted on November 21, 2019
Red Javelin conducts quite a few messaging workshops where we bring together internal stakeholders from executive teams, sales, customer service, development, and marketing to develop brand stories and sales messages. It is common to find that each stakeholder has a different perception and understanding of what "messaging" entails. Many believe that there is a single message to convey. This is definitely not the case. Let's take a closer look.

Construction Workers Discover 130-Year-Million-Year-Old Dinosaur Eggs in China
The men noticed unusual "oval-shaped stones" while using explosives in the site.
Most of us have been fascinated by dinosaurs while growing up. We've seen these massive creatures not only in history books but also in cartoons and movies. Remember the classic animated film The Land Before Time? Or maybe the Jurassic Park franchise?
Now a recent discovery in China has been getting a lot of attention as archaeologists report they've found a nest of dinosaur eggs – and they're perfectly-preserved!
130-million-year-old dinosaur eggs have just been discovered under a construction site in China.
As a Unilad report tells us, a group of construction workers in the city of Ganzhou, China stumbled upon the unexpected discovery while they were working in the field. The location, in particular, is known to both dinosaur enthusiasts and residents as the "hometown of dinosaurs."
The dinosaur eggs were discovered on December 25.
It was indeed a Christmas surprise as the workers spotted what they described as "oval-shaped stones" as they were breaking the ground with the use of explosives. Fortunately, they stopped the explosives when several of the men noticed unusual "black debris" measuring 2mm thick between the oval rocks.
A middle school is currently being built in the said site. Now many are saying that the accidental discovery may just lead to additional information that will soon be added to history books as well.
As it turns out, the 'black debris' were fossilized egg shells while the oval stones were fossilized dinosaur eggs.
The discovery quickly received a lot of media coverage in China and beyond.
According to experts, the eggs are from the Cretaceous period.
Now the eggs have been handed over to the Dayu County Museum to be studied further by experts.
Let's all hope the world gets to learn something new about dinosaurs from this exciting discovery.
Worried, Protective Dog Gets Accidentally Blown Up In The Face By A Firecracker
That could also be a child.
New Year's Eve is just a day away and most people usually welcome the New Year by lighting up firecrackers. It's already given that people should be extra cautious when dealing with firecrackers, especially if there are children and pets around. Otherwise, the situation could go bad, just like how it went for this poor dog.
A dog got accidentally blown up by firecracker after a man lit one up in their own backyard. The tragic and horrific scene was all caught on camera.
This man started to light a firecracker.
Blind Mystic Baba Vanga Has Two World-Changing Predictions for 2018
Baba Vanga has predicted the rise of ISIS, the 9/11 attack, and the 2004 Tsunami, among many others.
Whether you believe in mystics or not, you just got to admit that Baba Vanga has been pretty spot on with some of her past predictions.
From the rise of ISIS and the fall of the twin towers, to global warming and the tragic 2004 Tsunami, many believe that Vanga certainly 'saw' and accurately predicted these things before they even happened.
Baba Vanga, hailed by many as a prophetess, passed away 20 years ago and yet many of her predictions continue to be fulfilled to this day.
Marsupial Presumed to Be Extinct for Over 100 Years Recently Found in Parts of Australia
Researchers hope it would find a mate so it can reproduce.
The crest-tailed mulgara, a tiny marsupial thought to be extinct for more than 100 years in the Australian state of New South Wales, was recently found. Researchers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW), who were working on a project called Wild Deserts to restore and promote desert ecosystems, made the discovery at the Sturt National Park near Tibooburra.
The discovery is a welcome development as researchers are looking to reintroduce mammal species into the Sturt National Park. Such creatures have not been seen in the area for 90 years.
The tiny marsupial, a pocket-sized predator, is a carnivore that feeds on invertebrates, lizards, and small mammals.

how does God feel about the LGBTQ community?
Updated: May 5
Please be advised- due to the nature of the topic, the content of this post is not intended for young audiences. I would give this a PG-13 rating.
For quite some time this topic has been on my heart and mind. I posted on it briefly in the past but was not satisfied with my previous analysis and ultimately took that post down. This time, I am going to try and be as thorough as possible when it comes to what the Bible says regarding these sexuality issues which are rising up at an extremely rapid pace among society.
I am not writing on this topic to start drama or join the general hype that surrounds the issue. I want people, especially young Christians who are struggling with their own identities, to be well informed. I want them to know that things regarding the LGBTQ community are not nearly as black and white or straightforward as society is implying. This issue is not going to disappear with time. In fact, it is going to grow. It is going to become more and more mainstream and we cannot be negligent in recognizing that. It is already fully integrated into social media as well as the entertainment industry. We as followers and believers in Jesus cannot draw conclusions on it without looking at what God says in the Bible.
It was just a few days ago that I wrote a letter to my readers pointing out that my goal with my writings is not to focus on the controversial issues in Christianity but instead promote positivity and focus on the good. I still stand by that stance. This post is in no way meant to be used to belittle or degrade anyone. Please do not reference this post as a supporting argument for whatever agenda you may have.
If you would like to discuss my stance on this topic, I welcome you to do so. My only requests are that you first A) read this post in its entirety first and B) back up your counter-discussion with scripture.
This is a long post because I want to address as many of the issues I have seen rise up in this category as possible. With this in mind, I have broken up my thoughts and studying into three categories: Sexual Promiscuity, Gay/Lesbian Relationships, and Transgender Issues. I would also like to define a few terms so that the context is clear:
LGBTQ community- people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (or queer)
Gay- a homosexual man
Lesbian- a homosexual woman
Bisexual- a person who is sexually interested and/or intimate with both males and females
Transgender- a person whose sense of personal identity and gender does not correspond
with their birth sex.
Queer- an umbrella term for sexual and gender minorities who are not heterosexual
Three-some- When a group of three people join together for sexual pleasure
Orgy- a wild party, especially one involving excessive drinking and unrestrained sexual activity
Sexual Immorality- the absence of sexual purity; involving any type of sexual expression outside the boundaries of a biblically defined marriage
The Equality Movement- desiring the state of equal ease of access to resources and opportunities regardless of gender, including economic participation and decision-making; and the state of valuing different behaviors, aspirations and needs equally, regardless of gender or sexual orientation.
It is important to state that the only way to salvation according to the Bible is accepting Jesus as your Savior (see my post on salvation: https://www.thebiblegirl.com/post/faith-alone-has-freed-me ) I am not implying with this post that if you fall under the LGBTQ title you will be scorned or rejected by God. I believe the opposite.
Sexual Promiscuity
When it comes to the discussion of sexual orientation outside of heterosexual relationships, many faith-based or conservative people assume the worst. They think of Gay and Lesbian relationships as the epitome of sexual promiscuity. While that is certainly an element of what takes place among many LGBTQ couples, it is also something we see happening among heterosexual couples. If we are going to address sexual immorality and fornication, we must address it all the way across the board. We must apply biblical principles to ALL intimate relationships.
The reality is, the majority of people in the United States are sexually immoral. A quick google search tells us that 77% of Americans have sex by age 20, and of that percent, 75% had premarital sex. Women have an average of four sex partners during their lifetime; men have an average of seven.
Perhaps you are wondering what the statistics are like among Christians. The facts are grim. Statistics state that 80% (a higher percentage than secular adults) of unmarried evangelical young adults (18 to 29) say they are having sex. The average age for marriage for women in the 90's used to be 24 now, according to the U.S Census Bureau that same age has climbed up to 27 and for men 29.
What does the Bible say about having sex before marriage?
1 Corinthians 7:1-3 Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: "It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman." But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.
Exodus 22:16 If a man seduces a virgin who is not betrothed and lies with her, he shall give the bride-price for her and make her his wife.
1 Corinthians 7:36 If anyone thinks that he is not behaving properly toward his betrothed if his passions are strong, and it has to be, let him do as he wishes: let them marry.
Perhaps this doesn't seem very straightforward. We must keep in mind the context. Sexual immorality was a phrase referred to sex outside of marriage in Biblical times (don't believe me? Go look it up). In society today sexual immorality is not defined as sex outside of marriage but that does not change how it was defined by God originally. Since that probably doesn't convince you that sex outside of marriage is wrong, lets study the texts.
In Exodus we see that once a man slept with a woman he was expected to make her his wife. Maybe you don't like Old Testament examples because of the confusion about Jesus doing away with certain laws. If that is the case lets look at the Corinthians texts. Why would the New Testament (a time after Levitical and Mosaic law) tell us a man must marry to avoid sexual immorality? If sex with anyone he wanted was acceptable, what would marriage with "one wife" allow him to do that he wouldn't already be doing? It is so he can act on his sexual desires without going against God's wishes. Both of the texts found in Exodus and Corinthians put an emphasis on having one sexual partner or on marrying in order to act on sexual needs.
Hebrews 13:4 Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.
Genesis 2:24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
In the Bible sex and marriage are a pair. You can't have one without the other. Adam and Eve didn't have a wedding ceremony, instead they "knew"or "went into" each other. There are many couples in the Bible who become "married" when they have sex. I think of Jacob with Rachel and Leah (Genesis 29). Jacob marries Leah by accident because he has sex with her before realizing that she isn't Rachel (Genesis 29:23-25). The traditions of marriage feasts and ceremonies are all man-made celebrations. God's view of marriage is not a wedding or even a legal document. Marriage is established by having sex. We even see this in our modern day terminology with phrases such as, "he consummated the marriage" which is saying he had sex with her.
When you understand this concept, the rest of what the Bible says about sexual immorality makes a lot more sense. It also suddenly makes more sense as to why it is a sin to "sleep around" or have sex with multiple people (breaking commandment 7 Exodus 20:14). It is wrong because in God's eyes, the first person you slept with was who you married and then you proceeded to cheat on them (again, commandment number 7 Exodus 20:14) with every person you slept with afterwards.
Now before you have a mental breakdown or go straight into my comments section over this, keep in mind that God takes us where we are at. If you didn't realize you were breaking God's commandments you can't expect God to judge you as if you did. Even if you did realize what you were doing, you're not out of God's favor forever. No sin is greater than any other sin and God is a loving and forgiving God.
The relationships highlighted in the Bible are beautiful testimonies of God's grace. For example, God is telling people to have one wife and one husband yet polygamy is everywhere among popular Bible characters. King Solomon had 700 wives! Does this make polygamy okay? No. But God still used King Solomon and others for great things. This shows that people have made mistakes from the very beginning. There are many wonderful, faithful people in the world who have sinned against God but God has not forsaken them. You can move forward from your mistakes both sexually and otherwise. The Bible says:
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
When we understand the Bible and what sex actually means to God, we can better understand the sorts of acts we should and should not be carrying out. Obviously, if sex means marriage we can't go around getting drunk sleeping with multiple people (orgies). We also can't go around sleeping with multiple partners at one time (three-somes).
These guidelines about sex aren't meant to take away our fun or pleasure but rather protect us from bigger problems.
Think of all the unwanted babies we see in the world. Think of all the abortions and accidental pregnancies that occur. Think of all the sexually transmitted diseases we have.Think of all the broken families. Think of all the people suffering emotional damage and psychological trauma because of their sexual promiscuity. God never comes up with rules or regulations to make us miserable... he is trying to protect us and give us the best chance at a happy, healthy life.
Because 80% of the Christian population are already disregarding what the Bible says about sexual intimacy and marriage, it is very hard for us to now address the LGBTQ community with some of the same scriptures. How can you show the LGBTQ community the "error in their ways" while you still sleep around with whoever you want without a second thought? This idea that homosexuality is "wrong" because of the "promiscuity" of it, is misinformed. Sexual promiscuity is wrong for everyone!
If we are going to establish what God wants for everyone's romantic and sexual relationships, we have to play fair. We have to be real and admit that people of all orientations and cultures are doing things wrong. It is time for us to confess our mistakes to God and start a new way of living that allows us to grow closer to Him.
Gay/Lesbian Relationships
The concept that it is acceptable to be romantically involved with someone of the same sex is now everywhere. Not only is it everywhere but it is becoming extremely aggressive and abrasive. Suddenly our streets are filled with "pride parades" and rainbow flags are flying from restaurants and businesses... and in many cases even churches. While this movement claims to promote "equality" it treats it's opposers as anything but peers. If you are not supportive of the LGBTQ community acting freely on their sexual desires, you are a bigot, a prude, and prejudiced. You will quickly find yourself in the same category as a racist and a Nazi.
This is unjust. It is not okay for anyone regardless of his or her stance on any issue, to imply that the opposing opinion is automatically in the wrong. It is not okay for our kids to be told that unless they act on their LGBTQ feelings or questions, they are being untrue to themselves. I am a believer in freedom of choice. I think if someone studies the Bible for themselves and somehow still thinks that sex outside of marriage is okay or that they still should act on their LGBTQ desires, that is their choice. What I don't like is people implying that we must be supportive of the popular opinion for fear of somehow becoming less of a caring or loving person.
Christians are not handling the backlash well. Instead of standing up for what we believe is right, we are changing our own opinions. If this was any other issue such as murder, stealing, or idolatry we would have no problem maintaining our stance. Yet for some reason this topic has really undone us. Suddenly we are tip-toeing around the issue of same-sex relationships. We are making big blanket statements about the issue because we think if we are vague we will be less targeted and attacked. The reality is, the Bible is not vague. God is not vague. I am not telling you what God's words about sex are so I can judge or ridicule you. I am telling you this because it is what the Bible says and it is unfair to hide this information from you for the sake of "not hurting your feelings". I would rather hurt your feelings than give you a false image of who God is or what he wants you to do with your life. I am not saying that someone who has LGBTQ feelings is automatically in the wrong, but I do believe acting out sexually on those feelings, is a mistake. I think it is wrong for anyone to act out sexually based purely on emotion.
Just because I don't advocate for the LGBTQ community doesn't mean I am a hateful, evil, judgmental person. I do not have to agree with every aspect of your life to still consider you my friend, my family member, or my neighbor. The issue of sex is no different. As stated before, I believe in freedom of choice. I have many friends who do things I wouldn't do, yet I still love and enjoy hanging out with them. There are probably things I do that they wouldn't do. I would never want anyone to make life decisions based on my personal opinions of their actions. I want you to act on what you feel God is saying to you through His word and through prayer.
Earlier, I established that according to the Bible sex is united to marriage. That means that from God's perspective when you sleep with someone you are married to them. If someone is having sex with someone of the same sex, they are essentially trying to apply God's act of marriage to their same-sex relationship. Here is what the Bible says:
Leviticus 18:22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.
Romans 1:26-27 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
1 Timothy 1:10 The sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine.
These verses are fairly self explanatory. We also see the story of Sodom and Gomorrah:
Genesis 19:1-13
The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. "My lords," he said, "please turn aside to your servant's house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning."
"No," they answered, "we will spend the night in the square."
But he insisted so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they ate. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing. Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don't do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof."
"Get out of our way," they replied. "This fellow came here as a foreigner, and now he wants to play the judge! We'll treat you worse than them." They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door.
But the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door. Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the door.
The two men said to Lot, "Do you have anyone else here—sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the Lord against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it."
This story is not trying to advocate for the fact that Lot was ready to give away his daughters (which was not the right move), but instead it shows that the act of men sleeping with men was considered "wicked" not only that, but the two cities were full of people carrying out other acts that were wrong (probably including heterosexual immorality as well!) This is what led to their destruction.
This is hard information to deal with. You will find many people, even Christians, who will take these verses and try to twist them to meet their own agenda. They will try to explain them away to make the message mean something different. I've watched many videos and heard many discussions where people try to explain that in Hebrew the verses don't read "homosexual", that the story of Sodom and Gomorrah isn't about homosexuality, etc. Upon further research, I've seen that many of such claims are fake. The Bible says what it says. Read it for yourself.
Other people disregard these verses entirely, but here is something to think about... if Gay and Lesbian relationships were something God intended why don't we see any Gay or Lesbian Bible characters? Where is the evidence of these sorts of relationships playing out positively? Just something to think about.
Another perspective to consider is that of the scientific and medical evidence. Our bodies and hormones (those of male and female people) were designed to compliment one another. Two men cannot naturally conceive a child, nor can two women. This is one of the reasons that heterosexual relationships can be so beneficial and rewarding. A person of the opposite sex holds qualities and traits that a person of the same sex doesn't have. Often an individual in a same-sex relationship will try to take on characteristics of the opposite sex. This can include how they act or dress. One woman may act more masculine or one man might act more feminine. In some ways you could argue that same sex relationships imitate heterosexual ones.
Transgender Issues
The topic of being transgender is possibly the hardest to address with scripture because there aren't a ton of Bible verses that directly address it. Here is what I did find:
Deuteronomy 22:5 A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.
Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
Psalms 139:13-16 For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.
Of course we could also in a sense apply the verses which I shared in the Gay/Lesbian Relationship section because in a sense even if someone is "transgender" they often are attracted to someone of the same sex (their birth sex). I think aside from the things I've already pointed out in that category, another issue that comes up among the Transgender community is how expensive it can be to receive hormones and surgeries which alter your body to meet your desired sexual identity. Hormone replacement therapy averages at $130 a month. Top of the body surgery averages at $6,000. Bottom surgery averages around $10,000. Facial surgery runs between $20,000-$50,000. Genital surgery averages around $15,000.
These are costly treatments and surgeries- thousands of dollars that are spent on yourself for the sole purpose of how you look or what you can gain from the procedure. You cannot argue that it is not a selfish act.
Many people who are convinced that they were born in the wrong body will tell me that the price is worth it. They will tell me that they cannot be satisfied as their current gender. They describe their feelings as a sense of being "trapped". I believe they feel that way. I am in no position to argue with them... but I will say this- is the God of the universe unable to help you find inner peace without a medical procedure? Are your feelings and convictions so strong that you must take matters into your own hands?
Throughout this entire post we see the common concept of "what feels right" to me. I feel like having sex with many different people. I feel like being in a relationship with someone of the same sex. I feel like I am the wrong gender. If someone said they felt like eating only desserts for the rest of their life, we wouldn't support it. If someone said they felt like an addiction was part a of their personality we would still urge them to get help. In other areas of our lives we recognize that feelings can be misguided, yet for some reason when it comes to our sexuality we let feelings take the lead. Society says we must accept everything with no questions asked or else we are bad people.
I would urge us not to do this. I would urge ALL of us not to do this, regardless of our sexual identity or orientation. We need to do our own seeking and our own research. Jeremiah 17:9 says, "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?" Our life and our purpose on this earth is far greater than how we feel or what we can do to pleasure ourselves. 1 John 3:20 says, "For whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything."
God knows how you feel. He knows if you believe you are homosexual. He knows if you feel trapped in your own body. He knows if you are sleeping with a boyfriend or girlfriend before marriage. He still loves you. He still wants to get to know you. He wants you to know that even though your trials are great, you can still find inner peace and joy. Isaiah 41:10 says, " Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." If you love God, trust that he will help you. Ask him to send you the right guidance and the right resources. This is not something between you and society, this is something between you and God.
Below I have listed some resources for anyone who might be struggling with their own sexual orientation or identity:

External corrosion of tank bottoms is a significant problem for tank owners for both economic and environmental reasons. Corrosion Protection of Above Ground Storage Tanks (AST) is typically provided by an impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP). Two primary impressed current cathodic protection configurations are used worldwide in tanks. The field-erected mixed metal oxide (MMO) anode welded grid configuration was an early application of MMO anodes for tank bottoms and has a large global installed base. A newer design to protect tank bottoms is a system of parallel or concentric ring MMO linear anodes with factory connected tail cables.
This paper compares "grid" type and "parallel/concentric" linear anode type tank CP systems, provide an economic assessment and discuss the implementation impact. This paper also discusses one case study of linear anode system provided on a large diameter AST.
Corrosion has long been recognized as an extremely costly naturally occurring phenomenon that can be controlled through the proper application of corrosion prevention and control methods protecting public safety, extending the service life of assets and preventing damage to property and the environment. The landmark Cost of Corrosion Study published by the U.S. Federal Highway Administration estimated that corrosion costs were approximately 3.1% of the nation's GDP. Within the study, several key sectors of the US economy were studied. This paper is focused on one of those areas - the corrosion risks associated with storage tanks that contain hazardous materials. The study determined that the annual direct cost of corrosion for above ground hazardous material storage tanks (ASTs) in the US was $4.5 billion.
Established "good engineering practice" requires that cathodic protection be applied to prevent corrosion of external tank bottom plates for above ground storage tanks (ASTs) that are exposed to soil or sand foundations. API Recommended Practice 651 notes that "cathodic protection for new aboveground storage tanks should be included in the initial design." 1

(This article belongs to the Special Issue Sustainable Energy Innovation: Strategies to Accelerate Progress)
Policymakers are seeking a transformation of the energy system driven by concerns about climate change, energy security and affordability. At the same time, emerging developments in underpinning science and engineering are opening up new possibilities across the whole technology spectrum covering renewables and other supply side technologies, energy demand and energy infrastructure. This paper reviews both the "policy pull" for energy innovation activities and the "science and technology push". It explores the expectations of a variety of organisations in both the public and private sector regarding these pressures and possibilities by assessing various scenarios and outlook exercises that have been published since 2013. It reveals a wide range of beliefs about the future development of the energy system. The paper then moves on to analyse private sector expenditure on energy research and development (R&D) and public sector budgets for energy R&D and demonstration (RD&D). This analysis demonstrates significant divergences in patterns of innovation between the private and public sectors and leads to the hypothesis that the private sector is, broadly, taking measures to reinforce the existing energy paradigm while the public sector is focusing on new energy technologies that support wider policy objectives. This pattern is consistent with past technological transitions, with innovation efforts that would transform the energy system being counteracted by countervailing efforts that reinforce the existing fossil fuel-based paradigm.

Having a newborn is one of the great gifts life has to offer. A new baby ready to discover the world. Parents ready to provide a safe environment. However, many products that companies sell to the public are dangerous and can cause serious personal injuries and even death to the innocent and helpless.
This past week, the world's largest retailer IKEA recalled 29 million dressers. The Malm and other models of chests pose a serious hazard, and consumers were urged to anchor the items or return them, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Tuesday on its website. The dresser, it was reported had caused 6 deaths and had 82 incidents.
Sadly, the problem is not new. As is often the case, it is not until litigation is brought or serious injuries or death occur that a company chooses to recall and fix a product; often placing profits over safety.

Markus knows a lot of people, and the list grows every day! There are likely other relationships Markus has that can be unbound (numbers of email messages, for example), and all of these are appropriate for using collections. For this example, I'll use two resources: > > { > "@context": "http://schema.org/", > "@id": "markus", > "@type": "Person", > "seeAlso": { "@id": "markus/friends; "about": "schema:knows"} > } > > Then, at an <markus/friends>, the following: > > { > "@context": ["http://schema.org/", { > "knownBy": {"@reverse": "knows"} > }, > "@id": "markus/friends", > "@type": "Collection", > "member": [ > {"@id": "gregg"; "knownBy": "markus"}, > .. > ] > } > > (I'm presuming schema:Collection and schema:member have reasonable semantics, but consider them standins). > > This shows that the <markus> entity is extended using what's referenced from seeAlso. One such reference is <markus/friends> with an associated relationship of schema:knows. Following that reference yields a Collection containing references to the people Markus knows. I use a reverse relationship here to avoid @graph. > > Thank you, now I get it. > > What about the opposite case where the property from the member direction already exists, but not the reverse of that. For example, there's a property pointing from a Reservation to a Restaurant, but not a Restaurant to its Reservations. In that case, if I'm describing the Restaurant and want to point to its collection of Reservations, would there be a way to refer to the reverse in the seeAlso.about slot? In the void:Linkset case, I think it's clear that simply reversing the order of subjectsTarget and objectsTarget would have the effect of reversing the sense of the property. Definitely more challenging in the case of a simplified schema.org case, but certainly something that needs to be handled. In JSON-LD, a reverse term could be created for seeAlso (alsoSeen?) which would reverse it's direction too: { "@context": ["http://schema.org/", { "alsoSeen": {"@reverse": "rdfs:seeAlso"} }, "@id": "restaurant/reservations/123", "@type": "Reservation", "alsoSeen": { "@id": "restaurant/reservations; "about": "schema:reservation"} } Then, at an <restaurant/reservations >, the following: { "@context": ["http://schema.org/", { "reservedAt": {"@reverse": "schema:reservation"} }, "@id": "restaurant/reservations", "@type": "Collection", "member": [ {"@id": "restaurant/reservations/123"; "reservedAt": "restaurant"}, .. ] } In the <restaurant/reservations/123> entity, the seeAlso relationship is a reference from the Collection to the reservation and the Turtle would be the following: <restaurant/reservations/123> a schema:Reservation . <restaurant/reservations> rdfs:seeAlso <restaurant/reservations/123>; schema:about schema:reservation . <restaurant/reservations> a schema:Collection; schema:member <restaurant/reservations/123> . Anyway, that's one way it might be done. Gregg > This should be equivalent to the following Turtle: > > <markus> a :Person; :seeAlso <markus/friends> . > <markus/friends> :about schema:knows . > > <markus/friends> a :Collection; :member <gregg> . > <markus> :knows <gregg> . > > The fact that <markus/friends> is the value of a seeAlso, and that it is about schema:knows is what would drive application logic to understand that this IRI can be dereferenced to find out more about who Markus knows. These lists could then be paginated to provide a large number of results to extend the knowledge base. > > Gregg > >> Gregg Kellogg >> firstname.lastname@example.com >> >> On Mar 25, 2014, at 11:55 AM, Vuk Milicic <firstname.lastname@example.com> wrote: >> >>> Markus, >>> >>>> OK.. this is quite similar to what we discussed in the Hydra CG (and what >>>> LDP does): >>>> >>>> </markus> a schema:Person ; >>>> >>>> </markus/friends/>:manages [ >>>> :subject </markus> ; >>>> :property schema:knows >>>> ] ; >>>> >>>> The thing I don't really like with these approaches is that you have to peek >>>> into the container to find out whether it contains/manages the information >>>> you are interested in. >>> >>> Conceptually, </marcus/friends> is not a container, but a class -- my point from the beginning. >>> That RDF is basically equivalent to what I wrote in [1] using OWL, why reinventing the wheel? >>> >>> [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-lod/2014Mar/0111.html >>> >>> - >>> Vuk MIilcic >>> @faviki >> >Received on Saturday, 29 March 2014 16:18:33 UTC

JK Rowling's short prequel to the Harry Potter books has been sold in a charity auction for £25,000. The 800-word story was one of 13 storycards written by various authors to raise cash for English PEN, the writers' association, and British charity Dyslexia Action. "I had great fun writing the card and I'm absolutely delighted that it has raised £25,000 for two such worthy causes,' JK Rowling, 42, said in a statement. But the author insists she's not working on a longer version. Her story ends with the handwritten words: 'From the prequel I am not working on - but that was fun!'

- Corley interviewed 233 Americans with at least $160,000 in annual gross income and $3.2 million in net assets, 177 of whom were self-made .
- Corley found that in their pre-millionaire years, they started with the same goal to save 10% to 20% of their income.
- They also used what he calls "the bucket system" to separate their savings into four categories.
- Read more personal finance coverage.
Whether you have a goal to reach $1 million or $10 million, you have to start somewhere.
Thomas C. Corley, a certified public accountant and certified financial planner, spent five years studying millionaires and gathered his insights in multiple books, including "Change Your Habits, Change Your Life."
Corley interviewed 233 people with at least $160,000 in annual gross income and $3.2 million in net assets, 177 of whom were self-made. Through these interviews and analysis, Corley uncovered dozens of facts about rich people and their daily habits to piece together exactly how they got to where they are today.
In his book, Corley writes that 80% of the self-made millionaires he studied didn't get wealthy until after age 50, but almost all of them started the same way.
"The self-made millionaires in my study all set a goal of saving 10 to 20 percent of their income during their pre-millionaire years," Corley wrote. The average American has a savings rate of about 8% , according to the St. Louis Federal Reserve.
More importantly, the pre-millionaires were intentional about where they put their savings. Using a strategy Corley calls "the bucket system," they siphoned their savings into four general categories: retirement savings , specific expenses, unexpected expenses, and cyclical expenses.
Retirement savings includes IRAs , annuities, 401(k)s , and other workplace retirement plans that is, money invested for growth and to be spent later in life. Future education costs, wedding costs, a home down payment , and other big expected costs are part of the second bucket.
The third bucket is more or less an emergency fund a separate account with cash to fall back on in the event of sudden job loss or a medical emergency. Lastly, the cyclical expenses bucket contains savings for birthday gifts, holidays, and vacations.
This savings strategy proved crucial for almost half of the millionaires in his study, who he says followed the Saver-Investor Path . They eventually were able to live on 80% or less of their take-home pay, remained consistent and patient, and never flaunted their wealth. Above all, they used time to their advantage.
"Self-made millionaires make a habit of saving," Corley writes. "The more you are able to save at an early age, the more wealth you'll accumulate."
