(Genesis 9: 8-17, Mark 1: 9-15)
Jesus knows God loves the earth,
its beasts: he thinks of Noah,
the families of animals
patiently gathered, the deluge
survived, looking wearily
out of the ark onto
what was left
of what he'd known,
wreckage all around,
the twisted bits of wood
that had been trees, rubble
that had been houses, mud
covering everything, mud
and the stench of decay,
his eyes filling with tears;
and God — like Noah
grieving the ruin
and memory of beauty —
sorrowing, repenting
of destruction, declaring
"never again, never again":
a covenant made,
its sign displayed
in brilliance in the clouds,
hovering somewhere
over the animals that,
scattered from the battered hulk,
begin their search for food
on the shattered ground.
Jesus knows God loves the earth,
its many peoples,
he knows God wants
to take them into an ark
of compassionate love,
to save them from destruction
of their own making.
So he carries the brokenness
of the world into this
pathless place of longing —
as he is with the beasts
in the wilderness,
in the hungering and searching,
so he is with us in our hungry
search for love;
as he is with the beasts in needing
shelter from the sun and cold,
so he is with us in our need
for peace and joy.
And as the angels minister to him,
so he will walk love's paths among us,
he will feed us in our emptiness
and comfort us in the wasteland
of our sorrows.
A fresh covenant of love
is waiting to be displayed,
and he has come
to be its sign forever.

We make it our business to make your business better. Whether you have been established for years, or are just starting out; whether you have just a handful of employees, or a whole army of staff; if you are in business you need a plan.
There are no two ways about it – every organisation needs a strategy in place to ensure success.
At Clarity we offer a bespoke Business Route Map Planning service. We help you to really focus on your future, work out what your ultimate goals are, consider the issues and challenges you may face whilst on your journey and help you to plan for these challenges so that they do not take you by surprise and prevent you from achieving the level of success you desire.
Not only can we give you the support you need to deal efficiently with your responsibilities to your employees, we also have the experience to:
- help your business formulate a realistic budget plan,
- deal with your with financial planning and taxes,
- manage your revenue taking into account your responsibilities to creditors and minimising the impact of your debtors,
- plan strategic capital investments (buying commercial property, for example) if and when you have the resources to do so,
- structure acquisitions and asset disposals in a tax-efficient manner,
- properly advise on the implementation of your own pension and benefits packages,
- assist you with your exit strategy or succession planning.
Importantly, we also appreciate that it is not enough to have goals and a plan in place for reaching them; you need to go one step further and also anticipate life events that could threaten the realization of your dreams. You need to consider how your business would be affected in the event of adversity – what would happen, for example, in the event of the loss of a business owner or key individual due to sickness or death?
The consequences of not planning effectively for unforeseen circumstances can be ruinous. It is therefore crucial that you put measures into place to ensure that your business can continue in the absence of vital parties. We are here to offer our professional advice on private medical schemes, critical illness policies, key person assurance and life insurance. We can also make sure that ownership of a part or all of your business passes effectively to the appropriate person(s) should you or a business partner die.
Your employees, like you, will also have concerns about pensions, private medical insurance and death-in-service benefits, and so we are on hand to help you cater for their needs to. Please talk to us about the drop-in surgeries we can host for you and the seminars we run for larger groups of employees.
Let us guide you on your business journey so that you can focus clearly on your destination.

We recently told you about alleged arsonist Walter Bond, who authorities believe was responsible for burning down Glendale's Sheepskin Factory and two businesses in Salt Lake City, including a restaurant that served foie gras.
Turns out Bond's a hero to the animal liberation movement, and to members of a straight-edge band Earth Crisis, who reportedly used his 1998 conviction for arson as inspiration for a song and video called "As Ashes."
This information comes from the website Voice of the Voiceless!, which calls itself the "Journal of the Animal Liberation Movement." Here's an excerpt from a piece credited to Peter Young about Bond, whose nickname is "Lone Wolf:"
The arrest of the accused A.L.F. "Lone Wolf" Walter Bond has generated nationwide media coverage which has forced the issue of animal suffering into the minds of millions. Countless online and print articles have brought the overlooked issue of cow skin products into the conscious of the general public, in addition to the general issue of animal oppression. Excerpts from the Lone Wolf communiques have also brought the issue of animal suffering to a mainstream audience.
The first TV news segment focuses on Bond's "folk hero" status after being the subject of a song by the vegan straight edge band Earth Crisis. The band's song "To Ashes" was inspired by Bond's 1998 prison sentence for arson. Bond was convicted of burning down a meth lab owned by a drug dealer who was selling to his brother. Earth Crisis wrote a song celebrating this brand of militant anti-drug action.
By the way, here's the aforementioned Lone Wolf communique:

The arson at the Sheepskin Factory in Denver was done in defense and retaliation for all the innocent animals that have died cruelly at the hands of human oppressors. Be warned that making a living from the use and abuse of animals will not be tolerated. Also be warned that leather is every bit as evil as fur. As demonstrated in my recent arson against the Leather Factory in Salt Lake City. Go vegan!
In a separate item, Voice of the Voiceless! writer Young encourages readers to send letters of support to Bond at his current address -- a county jail in Golden.

The Firefox Configuration Guide for Privacy Freaks and Performance Buffs was heavily updated again. The biggest change was the re-introduction of uMatrix in addition to uBlock Origin. I dropped the former quite a while back thinking that uBO could handle everything sufficiently enough, but that's not the case. Much other information was overhauled as well.
The Firefox Tweaks and Fixes and Styles and Things article was also updated again. I added a couple things including a warning about using the sidebar CSS. If you happen to be using that code, or any style that auto-opens/closes the sidebar, please read the warning.
