Despite very little game activity aside from a bad game in Tampa, Mayfield must be ready for the season. His coach has no doubt he will be.
BEREA Unlike the shade from some mammoth trees overhanging the Browns' complex, any shadow of a doubt about Baker Mayfield is between the ears, not subject to the eyes.
Mayfield is coming off a bright season that included an NFL record for touchdown passes by a rookie. Yet, Browns fans have learned not to assume their quarterbacks are guaranteed to grow, even ones drafted at No. 1 overall.
One could fairly assess Mayfield's August and sense a shadow.
He logged one lonely (albeit lovely) series three weeks ago against Washington. He sat out the next game and then, at Tampa, put up some of the worst numbers of his career.
His completion percentage WAS the worst. And he didn't do any better on the eyeball test.
As Freddie Kitchens put it, by way of not giving Mayfield a pass because his top receivers weren't on the field, "Baker wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer."
It's not as if Mayfield didn't get enough chances for a fair judgment. He threw 26 passes in his one half of action, which translates to 52 for a full game, a stunning number for a guy who averaged 36 passes in his 13 starts last year.
Compare Mayfield's 26 attempts to the amount thrown by his AFC North rivals in their third preseason games. It was 16 for Ben Roethlisberger against the Titans, 10 for Andy Dalton against the Giants, and none for Lamar Jackson against the Eagles. (Baltimore's QB totaled 16 throws in the first two games.)
This was the alarming part for Mayfield: He went 10-for-26, 38.5 percent.
Numerically, Mayfield never was close to as bad as 38.5 percent in his year at Texas Tech or his three seasons at Oklahoma. His season-to-season worsts were 52.5 against TCU in 2013, 45.0 against TCU again in 2015, 53.1 against Ohio State in 2016 and 63.0 against both Texas and Tulane in 2017.
As a Browns rookie in 2018, Mayfield's worsts were 53.8 percent against Buffalo in the preseason and 47.8 against the Chargers in the regular season.
Kitchens has said Mayfield will not play in Thursday's preseason finale against Detroit. Thus, he is left with a preseason in which his only game work was confined to one series three weeks ago and a beastly night against the Bucs.
If it's any consolation to Kitchens, the quarterback Mayfield will oppose in the Sept. 8 opener had a miserable Game 3 against Pittsburgh. Marcus Mariota gave the Titans two series. One ended with him getting sacked for a safety. He threw three passes, all incomplete.
Kitchens does not wish to be consoled.
"I have total confidence Baker is going to be OK," the head coach said.
This comes from the man who as offensive coordinator during the second half of 2018 watched Mayfield take the Browns on a 5-1 hot streak.
Kitchens relies on the pictures in his head from Mayfield's strong rookie year. He relies on what he has seen in practice. There is plenty of history to support his attitude, particularly as to accuracy.
Mayfield's career completion percentage at Lake Travis High School was 64.4. In four years on college fields, it was 68.5, with a low of 64.1 as a Texas Tech freshman. Hhe was above 70 in each of his final two years at Oklahoma. His season percentage as a Browns rookie was 63.8.
Robert Griffin III, Cody Kessler, Josh McCown, DeShone Kizer, Kevin Hogan and Tyrod Taylor have started at quarterback since Seth DeValve arrived in 2016.
DeValve was asked after Tuesday's practice what traits Mayfield offers that might help the Browns get somewhere.
"All of em," said the tight end out of Princeton. "He's a great leader, not only on the field but in the locker room. He has tremendous poise and confidence. I played quarterback in high school, and you need that.
"He steps into his throws and makes them on time. He's tremendously accurate. Sometimes I'm turning around and the ball's right on my head.
"Some guys at that position turn around and just see jerseys. Other guys turn around and see exactly what they need to see. It's hard to find those guys. We found one."
Beyond a shadow of a doubt, a bad practice game notwithstanding, DeValve's is the overriding perception.

The US pear industry remains focused on promotion in key Asian markets as new European entrants to countries such as China start to put pressure on prices.
Speaking at Asia Fruit Logistica in Hong Kong this week, international marketing manager of trade body USA Pears, Lynsey Kennedy, said the group was there to talk to key importers including China, Taiwan, Indonesia and Vietnam.
"We have several varieties to promote including red and green Anjou, and brown variety Bosc," she said. "We think that one will do really well in Asian markets because it's crisp, but still really sweet."
The US pear crop is about two per cent up on last year, according to Kennedy, although it is still "on the small size".
Access to the Chinese market for European exporters such as the Netherlands and Belgium has begun to impact the pear trade, she continued, but US exporters remain focused on marketing activities across retail, wholesale and foodservice sectors.
"There is definitely more competition in China now. There is lots more European fruit going in and it's hard to compete on price," she said.
Marketing activities for the year include World Pear Day, which this year takes place on 2 December, and will include events such as a restaurant takeover in Indonesia with pear-themed dishes. Consumer and trade education is another area of focus to promote US pears' points of difference.
The US export season to China runs from the end of September-early October until May, she added.

Hot fat drips from succulent, slow-roasting pork on a vertical spit, pork that has been marinated, loved and teased into a deep, Heart of Darkness-level frenzy of flavor. The gentleman tending to this meat is clad in a grease-patina'd apron, shorts, flip-flops and a beater T-shirt that reads "Born Lucky." His only kitchen wares are a rusty knife, a stack of Styrofoam plates, and a quickly dwindling roll of paper towels. On a nearby table covered in newspaper are some salsas — a creamy green whip of tomatillos, avocado and onion with serrano peppers; something red and fiery that is most likely a simple purée of de árbol chiles — along with a pile of limes and some pickled jalapeños and chopped white onions.
When I walk up, no words are spoken other than a simple "Hola." I hold up three fingers, signifying the beginning of our transaction. Some of the meat he's carving drops off the plate, hitting the bare sidewalk beneath. Glances are exchanged; it's clear that I could not give a shit if he picks up the meat and uses it. He does, in fact, take the meat off th e sidewalk and place it on the pillowy corn tortilla. Cash is handed over and I stand there in the blazing sun, without benefit of a table, chair or even a beverage, in a state of euphoric bliss as I chow on my al pastor taco.
Growing up on the East Coast, I knew nothing of this food or culture. At that time, it simply did not exist in the metro area of Washington, D.C. My introduction to Mexican fare took place at a Chi-Chi's back in 1988 and consisted of cheesy nachos, cheesier enchiladas and a frozen margarita. I was familiar with halal food, however, and the great Baltimore culinary contribution of pit beef with tiger sauce. So I knew of foods served off someone's porch, along a deserted roadside, or via a street cart in the city. And when I made my drive out west to plant my roots at the base of the Rocky Mountains, the first thing I did was hit a taco stand. With no idea what to order and no idea what I was o rdering, I sort of let the process unfold naturally via points, grunts and gestures — and ended up crushing some of the most soul-satisfying meals of my life.
Street tacos are an adventure. If a brick-and-mortar restaurant is like an all-inclusive resort vacation free of any obstacles, a visit to your local taquero is more akin to a life-or-death trek through the Amazon. You never know what to expect, and at every turn there is some potential peril that could consume you — or at least so inconvenience you that, in any other setting, you would be vowing "never to return again" — but you do, because there is something primal and freeing about eating on the side of the road.

It is that freedom and nonchalance with food that has many chefs, including myself, adopting this equation of unintentional culinary irreverence in our own kitchens: misshapen cuts, unapologetically bold flavors, ripping-hot heat, bare-minimum essentials and a total lack of focus on anything other than eating for hunger and fun.
Now, as a result, almost everywhere you go, street tacos are finding their way into the great indoors. Culinary giants are throwing out the fancy white linens and extensive wine lists of loftier-goaled endeavors in favor of the focused simplicity of street food — and it's changing not only what we eat, but how we eat. Long, prolonged, multi-course dinners that take up hours of our time are being replaced with multiple stops in an evening, so that you can enjoy many tastes instead of being confined to one spot, for one dish, in one sitting.
So that you can take it back to the streets.

Spinning Down Under
Fibre Prep - Washing Dirty Fleece
When your raw fleece comes off the sheep's back it has been out in the weather for a year. While the lanolin makes it reasonably
waterproof, it does not protect against insects, mud, grass seeds or manure, and this will need to be removed before you can
spin the fleece.
Depending on just how dirty your fleece is, combing it with a dog comb, or using a slicker brush may be all that it needs.
However if its dirty enough that you really would rather not play with it until its cleaned, it will need washing. I use washing
up liquid and leave the fleece to soak in the hottest water possible, before scooping it out in a colander, rinsing it by
placing carefully in gradually cooler buckets of water, and then spreading it to dry on a jumper rack in the shower alcove.
I'm not too fussed if all the soap is out or not, as it will be dyed at some stage.
This rough and ready treatment may well not work with that precious Merino, Rambouillet, or camelid fleece, which have the
tendency to felt very easily, so a gentler approach is better.
Separate your fleece into locks. If you have a lingerie bag, or an old onion bag or something similar to carefully place
them in, thats great. I have heard that you can make a hollow in some scouring pads, and that will make an ideal container
for the washing process.
Regardless of what you use, or whether you gently place the locks to soak in very hot water all on their own, the key
to successful washing is not to handle it too much, and don't swish. You must also make sure that the water temperature change
is very gradual, and never run water onto the fleece.
A colander to lay the fleece in as you soak it is ideal, as it also drains the water without you touching it.
Let the fleece soak in the water. Just like dishwater, the bubbles will disappear as the grease gently floats off the
locks. You may need several soaks if the fleece is extra greasy (and Merino often is). Rinsing is the same process, without
the dishwashing liquid, and you will need to do this until the water comes clear.
Dry the fleece somewhere warm, and some spinners recommend out of the sun; though if the fleece has spent the last 12
months in the open air, a few hours extra should not make much difference.
Generally washing does not strip all of the lanolin out of a fleece, but should the fleece be too dry and require a bit more
oil in it to handle easily, the old method was to fill a spray bottle half and half water and olive oil, spray the amount
of fleece you were going to spin at one sitting, and cover it with a blanket or cloth for a couple of hours to let the oil
soak through.
Once you have dried your fleece, you are ready to go on to the next stage.
If you want to dye your fleece:
or get the tangles out:

Quick Fashion Tips For Oval Body Types
Create Curves with Color
A monochromatic look usually works best. Add splashed of color with camisoles, earrings, necklaces and great shoes.
- Wear a dark colored dress with a wide dark belt and a vibrant statement necklace and colorful shoes.
- Wear a dark pant or skirt suit with a bright colored cami and shoes.
Clothing Shapes For Oval Body Types
The key to dressing an oval body type is to proportionally dress the top and bottom of your body while creating a waist. Stay away from tight clothing (such as a tube-type dress). To create the most curvaceous effect proportionally accentuate your upper and lower body which will minimize your tummy by mixing and matching suggested separates.
Dresses For Oval Body Types
Choose dresses with A-line skirts, darted or belted waists and cuts or embellishments that draw attention and emphasize your bust and shoulders. Wide necklines, off-the-shoulder and big lapels are an excellent way to create illusion of volume without actually adding volume. Wide-lapeled, A-line, belted coat dresses are particularly flattering on your body type. Always proportionally enhance both your upper and lower body.
See details about your body shape and clothing that flatters your figure>
Tops For Oval Body Types
Choose tops with cuts, necklines and embellishments that draw attention and add volume (or the illusion of volume) to your bust and shoulders while emphasizing a waistline. Off the shoulder or wide necklines are most flattering. Wide-lapeled wrap shirts and jackets with nipped-in waists and a slightly flaired bottom are excellent for oval body types. Both shirts and jackets that come to the hip-bone are the most flattering on your body type.
See details about your body shape and clothing that flatters your figure>
Bottoms For Oval Body Types
Look for a line skirts and stay away from clingy or straight pencil skirts. Choose pants with flap-pockets or cargo pants. Boot cut, trouser cut or slightly flared cuts are all flattering to your body type.
See details about your body shape and clothing that flatters your figure>
Accessories For Oval Body Types
Wide belts, chunky necklaces and earrings, eye-catching shoes, body shapers that trim your middle (like Spanx).

He explained that, "for future reference" it was "expected" of programmers to keep real-world samples of their code from proprietary jobs, and that he had stuff he had worked on for a number of large companies.
I'll bet his company lawyer wasn't in the room when he said that, or he'd have gotten taken out and spanked.
I spent many years as a hiring manager. If someone brought proprietary code into an interview, they'd get flunked on the spot. And it did happen a few times. You don't start a trust-based relationship by demonstrating how easily you'll break legal agreements.
At my current job, we ask candidates for a code sample for a generic problem we pose. That keeps things safe and neutral, and helps prevent misrepresentations over authorship. (And we follow-up with some problem solving at a whiteboard for candidates who make it through written screening.)

Facing a full blown pest problem at home? You're not alone. Pest infestations can be a real pain to deal with specifically when there is several of these infestations going on in your home. Getting rid of a pest infestation is often less difficult as folks envision it to be, despite how intense it could be.
Determining the type of pests that you must handle must be your initial step in ridding yourself of them. Ideally, before you buy or even rent a property, don't disregard this potential problem.
Roaches are another common bug that a great many home owners worldwide have difficulties with. Roach infestations must be looked at with greater urgency as they are able propagate illnesses effortlessly. If you're subjected to the pathogens that exist on roaches, that might also induce your asthma attack. You'll usually find roaches nearby wet places like the sink and the drain pipe since they will need water to live. In order to effectively kill roaches, some of the best roach baits or traps are designed specifically to wipe out roaches will be required for successful results. After that's carried out, you should take protective measures like sealing off any cracks in the wall surfaces as roaches can readily breed in dim and also cramped spots. If inadvertently ingested by means of your kitchenware, roach excrement will usually result in E. coli bacterial infections which can result in serious tummy aches, diarrhea or worse, which may lead to hospitalization.
If you see excrement of pests about, there is likely to be an infestation. When you come across a bug in your home, theres very likely to be many more of these concealed within their nests. Getting a periodical bug roaming away from its nest into your household searching for food and water is tremendously improbable. In many cases, the nest would be formed or is in the beginning phases of being created within your household already.
Bed bugs are an additional form of infestation which is extremely widespread in certain areas of the world. Our blood is their primary source of food and they will feed on us at night whilst we're asleep. The bites of bed bugs can lead to small pustules on the surface of your skin, that might pass off as rashes. The bites would virtually be unnoticeable before you wake up in the morning thanks to the itching. Plus, you'll likely be in deep sleep at that time, so you won't realize what's truly happening. Since these bites appear a lot like rashes, mosquito bites or allergic reactions, you wouldn't really know for sure whether there are bed bugs. This is why it might be hard to separate the two, unless of course you can find them. The best way to get rid of bed bugs would be to get in touch with a pest control business or even an exterminator because their methods are often really comprehensive. Once infested, a major segment of your house is going to be vulnerable to it as these insects do not actually have a nest to go back to. If the conditions are dire, you may even have to keep entire parts of your house isolated till the infestation is fully cleared. You may feel distressed enough to dispose of the whole mattress away, but you should not do this since it will only delay the infestation by several weeks or months. Although it's true that bed bugs infest beds mostly, they can also infest other furniture all around it so doing away with your bed is only a wasted attempt.
It would be a complete waste of your time and energy looking for the nests of the bugs though. Regardless of whether you find the nest or not, getting to it is another problem. Dark and hollow spots are definitely the ideal spots for a bug nest. Other examples would be an untouched attic space of your home, due to the fact that human activity there is certainly minimum.

Wahy and its true nature
Since the Holy Qur'iin was revealed to our beloved prophet Sayyidna Muhammad al-Mustafa (pbuh) by means of Wahy (revelation), an understanding of some particulars about Wahy is imperative at the very outset.
The need for Wahy
Every Muslim knows that Allah Almighty has sent man into this world as a matter of test, and in return for his being obligated with certain duties, the whole universe has been placed at his service. For this reason man, once he is in the world, must do two things:
1. He should make the best use of this world, and of things created in it.
2. While using this world to his advantage, he should keep the injunctions of Allah Almighty in sight and do nothing that goes against His will and pleasure.
For these two functions man needs knowledge. Therefore, unless he knows the reality of this world, the properties of different things and the manner in which they can be put to use, he cannot use anything in this world to his advantage. Likewise, unless and until he knows the will of Allah Almighty as to what pleases Him and what displeases Ilim, it will be impossible for him to lead a life in line with the will of Allah Almighty.
So Allah Almighty, along with 'the creation of man, has created three things through which he could continue receiving knowledge of the above-mentioned matters of concern.
These are:
1. Man's senses, that is, the eyes, the ears, the nose, the mouth, the hands and the feet.
2. The reason.
3. The Wahy (revelation)
Consequently, man finds out many things through his senses, many others through reason, and the knowledge of things he cannot get through these two sources are bestowed upon him through Wahy.
The arrangement between these three sources of knowledge is such that each one has its limits, and a particular sphere of activity beyond which it does not work.
In natural sequence, the knowledge of things man collects through his senses cannot be deduced through bland reason. For instance, you know by seeing a wall with your eyes that its colour is white. But, should you close your eyes and try to find out the colour of that wall on the sole strength of your reason, this will then be impossible. Similarly, the knowledge of things that comes through reason cannot be discovered by senses alone. For instance, you cannot find out as to who made that wall by simply seeing it with your eyes or touching it with your hands. Not at all, you rather need reason to arrive at that conclusion.
In short, reason gives no guidance as far as the five senses work efficiently, and when the five senses become helpless, reason starts functioning. But, even the guidance given by this reason is not unlimited. This too stops at a certain limit. Then there are things the knowledge of which can neither be acquired through senses nor through reason. For instance, to find out about this very wall, as to what manner of its use will please Allah Almighty and what manner of its use will displease Him, is possible neither through senses nor
through reason. In order to give man the answer to such questions, the source that Allah Almighty has prescribed is what is known as Wahy.
And the method it follows is that Allah Almighty selects one of His servants, ordains him as His messenger and to him He reveals His Word. This Word is Wahy.
This makes it clear that Wahy is the highest source of knowledge for man which offers to him the answer to questions about his Iife which cannot be solved by means of reason and senses, but, he still has to have that knowledge. This further explains that reason and perception alone are not enough to show man the way. It is rather all the more necessary, almost inevitable, that the Divine Wahy be there for his guidance. Since Wahy is basically needed where reason does not work, it is, therefore, not necessary that everything communicated through Wahy be compulsively comprehended through reason.
On the contrary, as reason is no help in finding out the colour of some object since that is the job of the senses, so is the knowledge of many religious beliefs, the gracious giving of which is the sole prerogative of Wahy and not of reason. Furthermore, trusting reason alone for their comprehension is not sound and correct.
To begin with, it is totally senseless to discuss the issue of Wahy with a person who, God forbid, does not accept the very existence of God. But, for a person who believes in the existence of Allah Almighty and has faith in His perfect power, it is not at all difficult to understand that Wahy is a rational need, that it is possible and that it is there for real.
Example for the need of Revelation
If you have faith in the fact that this universe has been created by an absolutely powerful entity, He is the One who has sent man down here to accomplish some particular mission, how then is it possible to imagine that He, after once having created man, would leave him off in total darkness, without ever telling him why did he come into this world, what his duties were, where was he destined to go and how could he realize the purpose of his life? How could a person, whose sanity is still there, send one of his servants on a certain trip under a designated mission without ever telling him the purpose of the trip while he is leaving, nor explaining it to him later on through some message as to why he has been sent out there and what duties he is supposed to carry out during the trip?
When a man of ordinary reason cannot do something like this, how can something like this be imagined with respect to the most Holy Lord of the Universe under Whose ultimate wisdom this whole system of the universe is functioning? After all, how is it possible that the Being, that did create such a mind-boggling system composed of the moon, the sun, the sky, the earth, the stars and the planets, would remain unable to institute some arrangement of communication with His servants, through which human beings could be given guidance about the purpose of their lives?
If there is Imaan or faith in the ultimate wisdom of Allah Almighty, then admitting that He did not forsake His servants in the dark, will become all the more necessary; rather on the contrary, He has surely instituted some regular system for their guidance. And so, this very regular system of guidance is known as Waby (Revelation) and Risalah (Prophethood).
This makes it crystal clear that Wahy (revelation) is not only a religious belief but also a rational need the rejection of which amounts to a rejection of the ultimate wisdom of Allah Almighty.
This sacred sequence of Wahy (revelation) and Risalah (prophethood) came to an end with the last of the prophets, Muhammad al-Mustafa (pbuh). Nevermore, shall Wahy descend upon any man, nor there is need for it.

[smart_track_player url="http://traffic.libsyn.com/theninjababespodcast/Barclay_Stockett_Episode.mp3″ ]
Written by Janelle Kopa
I am inspired by people who believe that dreaming is an artform, and that dreams themselves, are platforms. I am inspired by people who recognize the child within themselves; the one that's still in there dreaming, even when work calls. These admirable people have left me chasing harder after my own purpose, because I've felt the impact from them working hard at theirs. American Ninja Warrior athlete (season 8, 9, 10), Barclay Stockett, has made my inspiration list, not just for how she moves as a ninja, but for how she admirably lives.
The memory I have of listening to my first ever Ninjababes podcast, Barclay's episode, is far too crystal clear in my mind for me not to share its lasting impression on my heart and on my life. Barclay's words first echoed into my life when nerves were causing my foot to press harder on the gas pedal as I drove myself to Minneapolis course testing for Season 10 of American Ninja Warrior, which would be my first time ever one an ANW set. In this moment, Ninjababes met me where I was at. Barclay's words were exactly what I needed to hear, and her wisdom became the reason I slowly let go of my fear.
I listened eagerly as Barclay described her childhood dreams and passions: circus performer, firefighter, archaeologist, architect, wrestling with her 5 siblings, climbing trees, gymnastics. Smiling, I began to reminisce on my own childhood dreams. I started to realize that these dreams are beautiful because they are limitless, free of expectations, based on inner passions, and they revolve around a desire to become someone greater than your current self. I believe that our purpose is built on these childhood dreams, for they were the start of our passionate hearts that have laid the foundation for where we are today, and for where we still hope to go.
"Follow peace." These are Barclay's words of wisdom about her life journey that speak to me each day. Through the pursuit of following peace, Barclay has discovered herself living a life even greater than her wildest dreams. Once she started opening her eyes and ears to her heart and the world around her, she began to notice newly opened doors of opportunity that aligned with her passions. For Barclay, this can be seen in transition from gymnastics to the sport of ninja, which she felt was the missing piece in her life after years of competing in gymnastics from age 12 through high school. The way Barclay follows peace is also seen in her journey from working as a head gymnastics coach to having a job teaching our U.S military obstacle course techniques through Alpha Warrior. Barclay learned that part of following peace meant that she needed to be honest about her passions, diving unapologetically into what makes her happy and the purpose she feels she has been called to through every different season of life.
As Barclay described what following peace looked like in her own life, I started looking at it in mine. I decided to challenge her internal questions for following peace against my own life. Was I overwhelmed? Anxious? Overworked? Did I have a balanced lifestyle? Was I happy with what I was doing and the direction my life was going?
Through an analysis of my own journey of ninja as I was driving to course testing, I realized that it's possible to follow your dreams and not follow peace at the same time. Here I was, going to live out one of my childhood dreams, and yet, I felt unbelievably restless. The problem was that I had attached my dreams to people and expectations instead of my own heart. I learned that following peace meant I needed to give myself grace as I got honest with myself, redefining what my passions, values, and beliefs are for ninja.
As I redefined ninja as my passion, I erased the expectations I had held tightly that were only holding me back. That's when I realized I was not only following peace, I was driving towards it. That's when I found myself excelling on the American Ninja Warrior course achieving my childhood dream. Ironically enough, that's also exactly when I met and became friends with Cara Poalillo, becoming a blog writer for the one and only, Ninjababes.
With love,
Janelle Kopa

Patek Philippe has opened a free two-year watchmaker training programme in New York and headhunted applicants for the first course.
The Patek Philippe Horology Programme New York was not publicised and Bloomberg has reported that 300 people with an interest in technical careers were sourced by a headhunter and invited to apply for the course.
The top 80 applicants were invited to the Swiss brand's New York workshop for a series of presentations from management and the company's technical departments with the list whittled down to a final six, based on their reactions. Only one cohort will run at any one time with the next intake scheduled for 2017.
The course, operated by Patek watchmaker of 27 years Laurent Junod, is only the second to be offered by the renowned brand outside of its Geneva HQ, the first having opened in Singapore in 2013. Students pay no tuition fees and receive a stipend to assist with rent and food. Successful graduates of the scheme are also guaranteed a job with Patek Philippe.
The course focuses on quartz, mechanical and automatic watches as well as basic complications.
Larry Pettinelli, president of Patek Philippe USA, told Bloomberg: "Anyone in this industry understands how difficult it is to find high-level watchmakers. As the interest in mechanical timepieces has grown steadily over the past 20 years, we are determined to be able to provide the best possible service to clients worldwide, now and in the future."
Patek Philippe's 19 New York-based watchmakers see around 10,000 watches pass through the workshop for service or repair – with more technically demanding tasks requiring watches to be sent back to Switzerland for attention.
In the UK Patek Philippe was one of eight founding members, among them brands and retailers, behind the British School of Watchmaking in Manchester when it launched in 2006. The school takes on eight students, using the two-year WOSTEP 3200 course, each year. Students at the BSOW are usually sponsored to offset its tuition fees.

Former Arnold Managing Partner on Leaving Advertising After 20 Years for a Security Startup
Wade Devers joined SimpliSafe as creative director
Wade Devers accomplished a lot during his nearly two decades at Arnold Worldwide, but at the beginning of the month, he embarked on the next stage of his career: creative director for home security startup SimpliSafe.
During his nearly 20 years at Arnold Worldwide, Devers rose from senior art director to managing partner.
"I thought I'd be there three years, tops, and then three years turned into almost two decades," Devers told Adweek, adding, "I loved working there … the people and culture of the agency."
During his tenure at Arnold, Devers estimated, he "probably touched every piece of business that the agency had in some capacity," citing leading global creative for the Jack Daniel's family of brands for around a decade as one of his proudest accomplishments. He also worked on the agency's Super Bowl ad for Jeep and contributed to new business efforts, including Royal Caribbean.
Devers' departure comes as part of a larger senior leadership exodus at Arnold Worldwide, including global CEO Pam Hamlin and managing partner, chief financial officer, global director of operations Scott Feyler, both agency veterans of over 20 years. Global CCO Jim Elliott also stepped down in March of 2017 and was succeeded by U.S. CCO Icaro Doria a year ago. Kiran Smith recently succeeded Hamlin as the agency's new CEO.
"I felt like I was leaving at the right time. … It was the time for me to tackle something new and be grateful for the time that I had and the achievements that I had there," Devers said.
Devers said he was initially not interested when presented with the opportunity to join SimpliSafe. But then a recruiter convinced him to check out the brand's website.
"As I scrolled down the website I thought, 'Here's a company that understands the power of design and what design can do as a business incentive,'" he said.
After meeting with SimpliSafe CMO Melina Engel, Devers was even more impressed.
"The more I learned about [SimpliSafe] and the more I learned about their motivation, the more I came to appreciate the fact that this company understands creativity," he said. "That's ultimately what I'm looking for."
Devers said he found the opportunity to be closer to the product, from development to packaging, something he couldn't find at an agency, as an appealing opportunity to "round out [his] skills."
"I'm looking for another challenge and something to keep me really interested," Devers said. "At the end of the day, that's what the choice was about."
While he stressed that the decision wasn't about a desire to go in-house instead of working at an agency, Devers did have some things to say about the way holding companies approach the business.
He said the work and clients "can suffer if things aren't handled properly" as a result of the restrictions of the holding company model. "It's one of the things that have led to this new dynamic of where director-level creatives go," he said. "They go up; then they go out."
Devers said SimpliSafe has "an amazing foundation" as "a challenger brand in a category that certainly needed that."
He views his own role as helping to "really start to build the brand," increasing brand awareness and harnessing "that creativity that the brand already has an appreciation for and turn that into things that get us talked about and get people to talk about us."
Part of that process will involve finding the right agency partner to work with on a project-basis "at least in the initial phases," although Devers said the brand wouldn't rule out designating an agency of record in the future if it finds the right partner.
"We're going to hopefully grow our internal capabilities to take on such work as we feel like we should, but I think ultimately the value of an in-house creative director can oftentimes be to decide when we need objectivity and when we need a type of creative that maybe we don't do yet or maybe we shouldn't do," he said.


text: raworange Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Though I did not get as amazing of a deal as some, I am very happy to have acquired my first real anvil. It appears to be an early Trenton, made in Germany and imported into the states prior to 1898. It weighs 164 lbs. It came from an old farm that was bought out to build a freeway bypass in my area. As I understand, it is a farrier style anvil with the small profusion on the bench and general shape. Though the edges are quite chipped, the face is mostly flat and has a good feel and rebound. The hardy and pritchel holes are also quite worn on their edges. All in all, it seems to be a serviceable anvil that I look forward to using for many years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Last time I went to a Zero Ping event I was left with such a positive impression that I'm headed out there again this coming weekend with a few others and looking forward to another gathering with fellow punters that defy online gaming convention and opt to pack up their precious gear to head over to a low latency experience with other like-minded individuals.
The venue is the same this time around and the event is forming up to grow on past experience and deliver even more positivity this summer! With ZPE having just launched a new web site, announced several tournaments and boasting a still-growing list of attendees we're excited to get to the hockey rink to support the LAN scene and one another. If you're from Detroit, Montreal, New York City, Chicago, Toronto or anywhere in between and think LANs are a good thing you should pack up your gear and add to the numbers of people already heading there instead of moaning that there aren't enough of these things kicking around.
LANs are different all over the world and ZPE is no exception, it does however offer something a bit unique: it's Canadian in so many ways, from the venue and overall attitude through to the most important aspect: the people. A great bunch was there last year — heck, I met some stand-up blokes that ended up playing under our banner and brought themselves up to being ESEA champions – what will this year bring? Check out the site, show up to say hi and have some fun, we'll squeeze out some updates as the event progresses if you can't attend so fire up that browser,twitter and what not and we'll see you on the ice!

Millions of Britons are still being sold "superfast" connections that are only half as fast as advertised, according to research by Ofcom.
Data released by the communications regulator shows that although Britons benefited from a 10% increase in average broadband speeds around the UK in the six months to May, reaching 6.8 megabits per second (Mbps) compared with 6.2Mbps in November 2010, the average advertised speed was 15Mbps.
The data emerged from a survey of the home connections of 1,700 people.
The greatest disparity in advertised and received broadband speeds came with copper-based DSL phone lines, used in more than 75% of UK homes. Customers with broadband packages offering speeds "up to" 20Mbps and 24Mbps actually received an average speed of 6.6Mbps, according to the research – and more than a third of these customers got average speeds of 4Mbps or less.
Ofcom has long pushed for a change to the way internet providers, including BT and Sky, advertise "up to" broadband speeds that most customers are unable to receive.
Ed Richards, the chief executive of Ofcom, said: "We are now seeing consumers increasingly move to higher-rated services and enjoying genuinely faster speeds. Consumers also have access to better broadband information, allowing them to decide which provider to use based on actual speeds they can achieve at home.
"However, the research is still telling us that some consumers are not receiving anywhere near the speeds that are being advertised by some ISPs. Ofcom continues to urge the CAP and BCAP committees to make changes to their advertising guidance so that consumers are able to make more informed decisions based on the adverts they see."
The Advertising Standards Authority's committee of advertising practice (CAP) and broadcast committee of adverting practice (BCAP) are expected to report in the early autumn on changes to the way broadband speeds are advertised.
Four of the largest ISPs – BT, Sky, Virgin Media and O2 – have signed up to Ofcom's new code of practice, which comes into effect on Wednesday and dictates that customers must be given an expected speed at the point of sale.
The growing demand for faster packages – fuelled by the popularity of traffic-intensive video services such as the BBC iPlayer and YouTube – has put current infrastructure under huge strain, meaning most ISPs are unable to deliver advertised speeds, especially at peak periods when large numbers of people use the services simultaneously.
Customers with fibre-optic connections get speeds much closer to those advertised, such as the those from Virgin Media and BT's Infinity package. The report shoes that the average download speed on Virgin Media's 30Mbps package was actually marginally higher than the advertised speed.
Only about 22% of Britons have fibre-optic connections, despite them being available to 57% of UK homes.

The scaling used in our new Mobile Music Test lends itself perfectly to the mobile platform. It's simple…swipe right if you're interested in listening to a song, swipe left if you're not, swipe down if you're unfamiliar with it. Or – if you don't like swiping – hit the buttons at the bottom of the screen.
Which raises the question: Does the mobile platform necessitate such a simple scale? Is the only reason we opted for such a basic scale because that's the only way we could accomplish this on the relatively small screen of a smartphone?
And the answer is: Absolutely Not! We could just as easily have used a series of buttons to accommodate a more typical, elaborate scale – for example, buttons for Like a Lot, Like a Little, Dislike a Little, Dislike a Lot, etc.
But we've been considering switching to a simple Interested/Not Interested scale for years before even thinking about putting a music test on a smartphone or tablet.
The big reason is that like/dislike skirts the issue of what stations really need to know when considering what they play. For a personal example, I really like "Riders on the Storm" by The Doors…like it a lot, in fact. But if I never hear it again, that'll be just fine.
What really matters isn't whether listeners like a song…it's what they're going to do when a song comes on your air. What really matters is whether they're interested in listening to a song. Or not. If they're interested, they're going to stick with you longer. If not, they're much more likely to tune out.
But why not go for degrees of interest –say, Very Interested, Somewhat Interested, Somewhat Uninterested, Not At All Interested? Why force respondents into a simple binary choice???
Because we live in a society of: Polarization. Absolutes, not subtleties. Shortened attention spans. Instant gratification. If they're somewhat uninterested, is that good enough? No!
Are listeners interested in listening to this song, or not? That's precisely that the MMT measures.

It is impossible for a papist to understand this article: "I believe the forgiveness of sins." For the papists are drowned in their opinions, as I also was when among them, of the cleaving to or inherent righteousness.
The Scripture names the faithful, saints and people of God. It is a sin and shame that we should forget this glorious and comfortable name and title. But the papists are such direct sinners, that they will not be reckoned sinners; and again, they will neither be holy nor held so to be. And in this sort it goes on with them untoward and crosswise, so that they neither believe the Gospel which comforts, nor the law which punishes.
But here one may say: the sins which we daily commit, offend and anger God; how then can we be holy? Answer: A mother's love to her child is much stronger than the distaste of the scurf upon the child's head. Even so, God's love towards us is far stronger than our uncleanness. Therefore, though we be sinners, yet we lose not thereby our childhood, neither do we fall from grace by reason of our sins.
Another may say; we sin without ceasing, and where sin is, there the Holy Spirit is not; therefore we are not holy, because the Holy Spirit is not in us, which makes holy. Answer: The text says plainly; "The Holy Ghost shall glorify me." Now where Christ is, there is the Holy Spirit. Now Christ is in the faithful, although they have and feel, and confess sins, and with sorrow of heart complain thereof, therefore sins do not separate Christ from those that believe.
The God of the Turks helps no longer or further, as they think, than as they are godly people; in like manner also the God of the papists. So when Turk and papist begin to feel their sins and unworthiness, as in time of trial and temptation, or in death, then they tremble and despair.
But a true Christian says: "I believe in Jesus Christ my Lord and Saviour," who gave himself for my sins, and is at God's right hand, and intercedes for me; fall I into sin, as, alas! oftentimes I do, I am sorry for it; I rise again, and am an enemy unto sin. So that we plainly see, the true Christian faith is far different from the faith and religion of the pope and Turk. But human strength and nature are not able to accomplish this true Christian faith without the Holy Spirit. It can do no more than take refuge in its own deserts.
But he that can say: "I am a child of God through Christ, who is my righteousness," and despairs not, though he be deficient in good works, which always fail us, he believes rightly. But grace is so great that it amazes a human creature, and is very difficult to be believed. Insomuch that faith gives the honor to God, that he can and will perform what he promised, namely, to make sinners righteous, Rom. iv., though `tis an exceeding hard matter to believe that God is merciful unto us for the sake of Christ. O! man's heart is too strait and narrow to entertain or take hold of this.
All men, indeed, are not alike strong, so that in some many faults, weaknesses, and offences, are found; but these do not hinder them of sanctification, if they sin not of evil purposes and premeditation, but only out of weakness. For a Christian, indeed, feels the lusts of the flesh, but he resists them, and they have not dominion over him; and although, now and then, he stumbles and falls into sin, yet it is forgiven him, whom he raises again, and holds on to Christ, who will not "That the lost sheep be hunted away, but he sought after."
Why do Christians make use of their natural wisdom and understanding, seeing it must be set aside in matters of faith, as not only not understanding them, but also as striving against them?
Answer: The natural wisdom of a human creature in matters of faith, until he be regenerate and born anew, is altogether darkness, knowing nothing in divine cases. But in a faithful person, regenerate and enlightened by the Holy Spirit, through the Word, it is a fair and glorious instrument, and work of God: for even as all God's gifts, natural instruments, and expert faculties, are hurtful to the ungodly, even so are they wholesome and saving to the good and godly.
The understanding, through faith, receives life from faith; that which was dead, is made alive again; like as our bodies, in light day, when it is clear and bright, and better disposed, rise, move, walk, etc., more readily and safely than they do in the dark night, so it is with human reason, which strives not against faith, when enlightened, but rather furthers and advances it.
So the tongue, which before blasphemed God, now lauds, extols, and praises God and his grace, as my tongue, now it is enlightened, is now another manner of tongue than it was in popedome; a regeneration done by the Holy Ghost through the Word.
A sanctified and upright Christian says: My wife, my children, my art, my wisdom, my money and wealth, help and avail me nothing in heaven; yet I cast them not away nor reject them when God bestows such benefits upon me, but part and separate the substance from the vanity and foolery which cleave thereunto. Gold is and remains gold as well when a strumpet carries it about her, as when `tis with an honest, good, and godly woman. The body of a strumpet is even as well God's creature, as the body of an honest matron. In this manner ought we to part and separate vanity and folly from the thing and substance, or from the creature given and God who created it.
Upright and faithful Christians ever think they are not faithful, nor believe as they ought; and therefore they constantly strive, wrestle, and are diligent to keep and to increase faith, as good workmen always see that something is wanting in their workmanship. But the botchers think that nothing is wanting in what they do, but that everything is well and complete. Like as the Jews conceive they have the ten commandments at their fingers end, whereas, in truth, they neither learn nor regard them.
Truly it is held for presumption in a human creature that he dare boast of his own proper righteousness of faith; `tis a hard matter for a man to say: I am the child of God, and am comforted and solaced through the immeasurable grace and mercy of my heavenly Father. To do this from the heart, is not in every man's power. Therefore no man is able to teach pure and aright touching faith, nor to reject the righteousness of works, without sound practice and experience. St Paul was well exercised in this art; he speaks more vilely of the law than any arch heretic can speak of the sacrament of the altar, of baptism, or than the Jews have spoken thereof; for he names the law, the ministration of death, the ministration of sin, and the ministration of condemnation; yea, he holds all the works of the law, and what the law requires, without Christ, dangerous and hurtful, which Mosts, if he had then lived, would doubtless have taken very ill at Paul's hands. It was, according to human reason, spoken too scornfully.
Faith and hope are variously distinguishable. And, first, in regard of the subject, wherein everything subsists: faith consists in a person's understanding, hope in the will; these two cannot be separated; they are like the two cherubim over the mercy seat.
Secondly, in regard of the office; faith indites, distinguishes, and teaches, and is the knowledge and acknowledgment; hope admonishes, awakens, hears, expects, and suffers.
Thirdly, in regard to the object: faith looks to the word or promise, which is truth; but hope to that which the Word promises, which is the good or benefit.
Fourthly, in regard of order in degree: faith is first, and before all adversities and troubles, and is the beginning of life. Heb. xi. But hope follows after, and springs up in trouble. Rom. v.
Fifthly, by reason of the contrariety: faith fights against errors and heresies; it proves and judges spirits and doctrines. But hope strives against troubles and vexations, and among the evil it expects good.
Faith in divinity, is the wisdom and providence, and belongs to the doctrine. But hope is the courage and joyfulness in divinity, and pertains to admonition. Faith is the dialectica, for it is altogether prudence and wisdom; hope is the rhetorica, an elevation of the heart and mind. As wisdom without courage is futile, even so faith without hope is nothing worth; for hope endures and overcomes misfortune and evil. And as a joyous valor without understanding is but rashness, so hope without faith is spiritual presumption. Faith is the key to the sacred Scriptures, the right Cabata or exposition, which one receives of tradition, as the prophets left this doctrine to their disciples. `Tis said St Peter wept whenever he thought of the gentleness with which Jesus taught. Faith is given from one to another, and remains continually in one school. Faith is not a quality, as the schoolmen say, but a gift of God.
Everything that is done in the world is done by hope. No husbandman would sow one grain of corn, if he hoped not it would grow up and become seed; no bachelor would marry a wife, if he hope not to have children; no merchant or tradesman would set himself to work, if he did not hope to reap benefit thereby, etc. How much more, then, does hope urge us on to everlasting life and salvation?
Faith's substance is our will; its manner is that we take hold on Christ by divine instinct; its final cause and fruit, that it purifies the heart, makes us children of God, and brings with it the remission of sins.
Adam received the promise of the woman's seed ere he had done any work or sacrifice, to the end God's truth might stand fast—namely, that we are justified before God altogether without works, and obtain forgiveness of sins merely by grace. Whoso is able to believe this well and steadfastly, is a doctor above all the doctors in the world.
Faith is not only necessary, that thereby the ungodly may become justified and saved before God, and their hearts be settled in peace, but it is necessary in every other respect. St Paul says: "Now that we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."
Joseph of Arimathea had a faith in Christ, like as the apostles had; he thought Christ would have been a worldly and temporal potentate; therefore he took care of him as a good friend, and buried him honorably. He believed not that Christ should raise again from death, and become a spiritual and everlasting king.
When Abraham shall rise again at the last day, then he will chide us for our unbelief, and will say: I had not the hundredth part of the promises which ye have, and yet I believed. That example of Abraham exceeds all human natural reason, who, overcoming the paternal love he bore towards his only son, Isaac, was all obedient to God, and against the law of nature, would have sacrificed that son. What, for the space of three days, he felt in his breast, how his heart yearned and panted, what hesitations and trials he had, cannot be expressed.
All heretics have continually failed in this one point, that they do not rightly understand or know the article of justification. If we had not this article certain and clear, it were impossible we could criticize the pope's false doctrine of indulgences and other abominable errors, much less be able to overcome greater spiritual errors and vexations. If we only permit Christ to be our Saviour, then we have won, for he is the only girdle which clasps the whole body together, as St Paul excellently teaches. If we look to the spiritual birth and substance of a true Christian, we shall soon extinguish all deserts of good works; for they serve us to no use, neither to purchase sanctification, nor to deliver us from sin, death, devil or hell.
Little children are saved only by faith, without any good works; therefore faith alone justifies. If God's power be able to effect that in one, then he is also able to accomplish it in all; for the power of the child effects it not, but the power of faith; neither is it done through the child's weakness or disability; for then that weakness would be merit of itself, or equivalent to merit. It is a mischievous thing that we miserable, sinful wretches will upbraid God, and hit him in the teeth with our works, and think thereby to be justified before him; but God will not allow it.
This article, how we are saved, is the chief of the whole Christian doctrine, to which all divine disputations must be directed. All the prophets were chiefly engaged upon it, and sometimes much perplexed about it. For when this article is kept fast and sure by a constant faith, then all other articles draw on softly after, as that of the Holy Trinity, etc. God has declared no article so plainly and openly as this, that we are saved only by Christ; though he speaks much of the Holy Trinity, yet he dwells continually upon this article of the salvation of our souls; other articles are of great weight, but this surpasses all.
A capuchin says: wear a grey coat and a hood, a rope round thy body, and sandals on thy feet. A cordelier says: put on a black hood; an ordinary papist says: do this or that work, hear mass, pray, fast, give alms, etc. But a true Christian says: I am justified and saved only by faith in Christ, without any works or merits of my own; compare these together, and judge which is the true righteousness.
Christ says: "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak;" St Paul also says: the spirit willingly would give itself wholly unto God, would trust in him, and be obedient; but natural reason and understanding, flesh and blood, resist and will not go forward. Therefore our Lord God must needs have patience and bear with us. God will not put out the glimmering flax; the faithful have as yet but only the first fruits of the spirit; they have not the fulfilling, but the tenth.
I well understand that St Paul was also weak in faith, whence he boasted and said, "I am a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ." An angel stood by him at sea, and comforted him, and when he came to Rome, he was comforted as he saw the brethren come out to meet him. Hereby we see what the communion and company does of such as fear God. The Lord commanded the disciples to remain together in one place, before they received the Holy Ghost, and to comfort one another; for Christ well knew that adversaries would assault them.
A Christian must be well armed, grounded, and furnished with sentences out of God's Word, that so he may stand and defend religion and himself against the devil, in case he should be asked to embrace another doctrine.
When at the last day we shall live again, we shall blush for shame, and say to ourselves: "fie on thee, in that thou hast not been more courageous, bold, and strong to believe in Christ, and to endure all manner of adversities, crosses, and persecutions, seeing his glory is so great. If I were now in the world, I would not stick to suffer ten thousand times more."
Although a man knew, and could do as much as the angels in heaven, yet all this would not make him a Christian, unless he knew Christ and believed in him. God says: "Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might; let not the rich man glory in his riches; but let him that glorieth, glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord, which doth exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness," etc.
The article of our justification before God is as with a son who is born heir to all his father's goods, and comes not thereunto by deserts, but naturally, or ordinary course. But yet, meantime, his father admonishes him to do such and such things, and promises him gifts to make him the more willing. As when he says to him: if thou wilt be good, be obedient, study diligently, then I will buy thee a fine coat; or, come hither to me, and I will give thee an apple. In such sort does he teach his son industry; though the whole inheritance belongs unto him of course, yet will he make him, by promises, pliable and willing to do what he would have done.
Even so God deals with us; he is loving unto us with friendly and sweet words, promises us spiritual and temporal blessings, though everlasting life is presented unto thee who believe in Christ, by mere grace and mercy, gratis, without any merits, works, or worthynesses.
And this ought we to teach in the church and in the assembly of God, that God will have upright and good works, which he has commanded, not such as we ourselves take in hand, of our own choice and devotion, or well meaning, as the friars and priests teach in popedom, for such works are not pleasing to God, as Christ says: "In vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men," etc. We must teach of good works, yet always so that the article of justification remain pure and unfalseified. For Christ neither can nor will endure any beside himself; he will have the bride alone; he is full of jealousy.
Should we teach: if thou believest, thou shalt be saved, whatsoever thou doest; that were stark naught; for faith is either false or feigned, or, though it be upright, yet is eclipsed, when people wittingly and willfully sin against God's command. And the Holy Spirit, which is given to the faithful, departs by reason of evil works done against the conscience, as the example of David sufficiently testifies.
As to ceremonies and ordinances, the kingdom of love must have precedence and government, and not tyranny. It must be a willing, not a halter love; it must altogether be directed and construed for the good and profit of the neighbor; and the greater he that governs, the more he ought to serve according to love.
The love towards our neighbor must be like the pure and chaste love between bride and bridegroom, where all faults are connived at and borne with, and only the virtues regarded.
Believest thou? then thou wilt speak boldly. Speakest thou boldly? then thou must suffer. Sufferest thou? then thou shalt be comforted. For faith, the confession thereof, and the cross, follow one upon another.
Give and it shall be given unto you: this is a fine maxim, and makes people poor and rich; it is that which maintains my house. I would not boast, but I well know what I give away in the year. If my gracious lord and master, the prince elector, should give a gentleman two thousand florins, this should hardly answer to the cost of my housekeeping for one year; and yet I have but three hundred florins a year, but God blesses these and makes them suffice.
There is in Austria a monastery, which, in former times, was very rich, and remained rich so long as it was charitable to the poor; but when it ceased to give, then it became indigent, and is so to this day. Not long since, a poor man went there and solicited alms, which was denied him; he demanded the cause why they refused to give for God's sake? The porter of the monastery answered: We are become poor; whereupon the mendicant said: The cause of your poverty is this: ye had formerly in this monastery two brethren, the one named Date (give), and the other Dabitur (it shall be given you). The former ye thrust out; the other went away of himself.
We are bound to help one's neighbor three manner of ways - with giving, lending, and selling. But no man gives; every one scrapes and claws all to himself; each would willingly steal, but give nothing, and lend but upon usury. No man sells unless he can over-reach his neighbor; therefore is Dabitur gone, and our Lord God will bless us no more so richly. Beloved, he that desires to have anything, must also give: a liberal hand was never in want, or empty.
Desert is a work nowhere to be found, for Christ gives a reward by reason of the promise. If the prince elector should say to me: Come to the court, and I will give thee one hundred florins, I perform a work in going to the court, yet I receive not the gift by reason of my work in going thither, but by reason of the promise the prince made me.
I marvel at the madness and bitterness of Wetzell, in undertaking to write so much against the Protestants, assailing us without rhyme or reason, and, as we say, getting a case out of hedge; as where he rages against this principle of ours, that the works and acts of a farmer, husbandman, or any other good and godly Christian, if done in faith, are far more precious in the sight of God, than all the works of monks, friars, nuns, etc. This poor, ignorant fellow gets very angry against us, regarding not the works which God has commanded and imposed upon each man in his vocation, state and calling. He heeds only superstitious practices, devised for show and effect, which God neither commands nor approves of.
St Paul, in his epistles, wrote of good works and virtues more energetically and truthfully than all the philosophers; for he extols highly the works of godly Christians, in their respective vocations and callings. Let Wetzell know that David's wars and battles were more pleasing to God than the fastings and prayings even of the holiest of the old monks, setting aside altogether the works of the monks of our time, which are simply ridiculous.
I never work better than when I am inspired by anger; when I am angry, I can write, pray, and preach well, for then my whole temperament is quickened, my understanding sharpened, and all mundane vexations and temptations depart.
Dr. Justus Jonas asked me if the thoughts and words of the prophet Jeremiah were Christianlike, when he cursed the day of his birth. I said: We must now and then wake up our Lord God with such words. Jeremiah had cause to murmur in this way. Did not our Saviour Christ say: "O faithless and perverse generation! How long shall I be with you, and suffer you?" Moses also took God in hand, where he said: "Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? Have I conceived all this people? Have I begotten them?"
A man must needs be plunged in bitter affliction when in his heart he means good, and yet is not regarded. I can never get rid of these cogitations, wishing I had never begun this business with the pope. So, too, I desire myself rather dead than to hear or see God's Word and his servants condemned; but `tis the frailty of our nature to be thus discouraged.
They who condemn the movement of anger against antagonists, are theologians who deal in mere speculations; they play with words, and occupy themselves with subtleties, but when they are aroused, and take a real interest in the matter, they are touched sensibly.
"In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength." This sentence I expounded thus: If thou intendest to vanquish the greatest, the most abominable and wickedest enemy, who is able to do thee mischief both in body and soul, and against whom thou preparest all sorts of weapons, but canst not overcome; then know that there is a sweet and loving physical herb to serve thee, named Patienta.
Thou wilt say: how may I attain this physic? Take unto thee faith, which says: no creature can do me mischief without the will of God. In case thou receivest hurt and mischief by thine enemy, this is done by the sweet and gracious will of God, in such sort that the enemy hurts himself a thousand times more than he does thee. Hence flows unto us, a Christian, the love which says: I will, instead of the evil which mine enemy does unto me, do him all the good I can; I will heap coals of fire upon his head. This is the Christian armor and weapon, wherewith to beat and overcome those enemies that seem to be like huge mountains. In a word, love teaches to suffer and endure all things.
A certain honest and God-fearing man at Wittenberg, told me, that though he lived peaceably with every one, hurt no man, was ever quiet, yet many people were enemies unto him. I comforted him in this manner: Arm thyself with patience, and be not angry though they hate thee; what offence, I pray, do we give the devil? What ails him to be so great an enemy unto us? only because he has not that which God has; I know no other cause of his vehement hatred towards us. If God give thee to eat, eat; if he cause thee to fast, be resigned thereto; gives he the honors? take them; hurt or shame? endure it; casts he thee into prison? murmur not; will he make thee a king? obey him; casts he thee down again? heed it not.
Patience is the most excellent of the virtues, and, in Sacred Writ, highly praised and recommended by the Holy Ghost. The learned heathen philosophers applaud it, but they do not know its genuine basis, being without the assistance of God. Epictetus, the wise and judicious Greek, said very well: "Suffer and abstain."
It was the custom of old, in burying the dead, to lay their heads towards the sun-rising, by reason of a spiritual mystery and signification therein manifested; but this was not an enforced law. So all laws and ceremonies should be free in the church, and not be done on compulsion, being things which neither justify nor condemn in the sight of God, but are observed merely for the sake of orderly discipline.
The righteousness of works and hypocrisy are the most mischievous diseases born in us, and not easily expelled, especially when they are confirmed and settled upon us by use and practice; for all mankind will have dealings with Almighty God, and dispute with him, according to their human natural understanding, and will make satisfaction to God for their sins, with their own strength and self-chosen works. For my part, I have so often deceived our Lord God by promising to be upright and good, that I will promise no more, but will only pray for a happy hour, when it shall please God to make me good.
A popish priest once once argued with me in this manner: Evil works are damned, therefore good works justify. I answered: This your argument is nothing worth; it concludes not ratione contrariorum; the things are not in connection; evil works are evil in complete measure, because they proceed from a heart that is altogether spoiled and evil; but good works, yea, even in an upright Christian, are incompletely good; for they proceed out of a weak obedience but little recovered and restored. Whoso can say from his heart, I am a sinner, but God is righteous; and who, at the point of death, from his heart can say; Lord Jesus Christ, I commit my spirit into thy hands, may assure himself of true righteousness, and that he is not of the number of those that blaspheme God, in relying upon their own works and righteousness.

U.S. policy wipes out more than 80 percent of a Haitian's earning power when it keeps him from coming to the United States. This affects everything from the food he can buy to the construction materials he can afford. The difference has nothing to do with his ability or effort; it results purely from where he is.
That is Michael Clemens in the Washington Post. His advice:
it's time to consider an entire new class of immigration — call it a "golden door" visa, to be issued in limited numbers to people from the poorest countries, such as Haiti. It could be permanent or temporary, but that's less important than its core purpose.
Our immigration law has traditionally had three primary goals: reuniting families, supplying employers and protecting refugees. But part of America's greatness is that in letting people come, the nation has pursued a fourth, unwritten goal: extending opportunity to those born in places without it. A golden door visa would simply recognize in law what the United States has done since its founding.
