It's been a busy week since my arrival. Emma and I have been working on the last of the paperwork needed for my visa, things are finally speeding up! And since I'm not allowed to be in Australia upon lodging, her parents have gifted us a relaxing week on Bali. I can't settle anywhere like this! (that's a joke of course).
…Australian Made
As the title of this post suggests, I'm slowly settling into Australian life. I'm not yet ready to skip the Dutch section in the supermarket, and grab me some liquorice, but what's wrong with that, right? I love all the stuff you can buy here, even though in essence it is fairly the same as Europe.
It's often the little things that stand out. Like fruits and vegetables proudly claiming to be Australian Made. Something that is not exactly legal in Europe. It's mandatory to list the origin of the product, but it's considered a form of protectionism to boldly state which products are local, and how you should buy those. Don't get legal on me about this by the way, I only once read a news article about this and it stuck with me like a cheap band-aid (ie. not so good).
Getting up to speed in a new country is, for me at least, sometimes quite a stressful and/or annoying process. You walk into the visa-thing often, for example when getting a new mobile phone with a data plan. But thankfully the people here are friendly and helpful, and often offer a good workaround. And sometimes stuff is super simple, like getting a debit card, or having your signature on official statements witnessed. You can just go to a chemist to get that done.
…some utterly strange things.
A part of me would like to write outrageous stories on how different everything is, and how I can't see myself ever getting used to some utterly strange things. But that's just not the case. Or maybe not yet.
Even driving on the other side of the road isn't as much of a shock as I initially expected it to be. I have to stay focused, and I keep my left hand on my leg a lot, so I won't enable the wipers when I want to indicate, but I'm already automatically looking in the right direction at crossroads, and aside from the less than social merging practises of some, driving over here is pretty much the same as in the lowlands. Perhaps a little less congested.
It's fair to say you need a car when living here. And since Emma and I plan to move to the outskirts of the suburbs or maybe even proper rural in a year or two, I've decided to buy myself a ute (as soon as the house finally gets sold that is). For the Dutchies, a ute is a utility vehicle, or pick-up to us. I saw some nice big chunky utes driving around with a double cab, so you can still take friends with you when going somewhere. And a sturdy 4×4 will certainly come in handy when we move.
Since my last two cars where lease, and I couldn't change a thing on those, I'm already scouting the internet for some nice new accessories. Think air filters, worklights, bullbars, and the like. I promised Emma not to go bogan, but that still leaves plenty of options for the boy trapped inside this grown up body. As one brand put it in a commercial, "when boys grow up, so do their toys."
…you're not alone in your endeavour
Not having a job or car sometimes confines one to the house a bit, but I like spending time with the cats, getting a feel of the house etc. Besides, since the job market is a bit slow lately Emma is working hospitality and that enables us to go out during the day. I love spending time with the in-laws, as it reminds me of the strong bonds in my own family. Her sister kindly lend me her tripod to make some pictures of the supermoon, which didn't turn out very special, but maybe in 2034 they will. And I get along very well with her nieces, they even wrote me a card saying I'm awesome and gifting me a box of candy. I might put that on my resumé.
We also helped to set up the christmas market in the church her mom attends. We saw the pastor/reverent/father (can you tell how religious I am?) watering his lawn, while all his sheep were working hard moving the heavy pews around, but let's just say the Lord works in mysterious ways, and apparently that rubs off on his employees.
At the christmas market we met some of Emma's mum's friends. Very lovely ladies who like to engage in conversation, and one lady had brought her 92-year-old aunt with her. I love hearing the stories of how they came over by boat at the beginning of the previous century. It's nice to know you're not alone in your endeavour, and to hear about the hardships some had to endure. I really have it easy compared to them, and if they managed, so shall I.

Can anyone in the forum enlighten me (a newbie)as to the the difference in these two processes as I only have a vague idea (Bespoke is basically anything you want... whereas MTM is cut from a predefined design). Has anyone tried the MTM route? I'm considering getting one in Brisbane, Australia.

HIBACHI Japanese Steak and BBQ Sauce with Sake (9.5oz)
(9.5oz) - Only the best sauce would suffice for the top cuts of beef & ribs, so Tonton came up with this special sauce. We are bringing the flavor of a traditional Japanese Steakhouse to the American backyard grill with its new Hibachi Steak & BBQ Sauce with Sake.
The sauce derives its robust flavor from premium ingredients such as Japanese sake, mirin (rice wine), shiitake mushroom, fresh roasted onion and green onion, with hint of wasabi, ginger and garlic. A hint of wasabi leaves refreshing after taste without adding any significant heat. Roasted and hand-pureed onion and green onion add a thick, silky consistency to the sauce so it can be used as a finishing sauce as well as basting or marinade. After tasting this sauce, you can't go back to ordinary steak sauce!
Ingredients - Japanese Soy Sauce (Water, Wheat, Soybeans, Sea Salt & Alcohol), Light Brown and Cane Sugar, Japanese Sake (no alcohol), Mirin, Fresh Roasted Onion and Green Onion, Natural Chicken Broth, Ketchup, Garlic, Lemon Juice, Natural Smoke Flavor, Shiitake Mushroom, Xanthan Gum, Salt, Rice Vinegar, Ginger and Wasabi

"There is a traditional saying of ancient wisdom: 'A threshold is a sacred thing.' . . . When I visited Japan I experienced the role of the threshold in a very simple daily experience. Before entering the house, the Japanese stand on the lintel in order to remove the shoes worn outside in the street. Upon entering the house, they put on slippers placed inside the door. This forces a very deliberate and conscious way of standing still, even if for only for a moment, in order to show respect for the difference between two spaces, the outer and the inner; the preparation for the encounter with another person, another household.
"This is very similar to the traditional monastic practice of statio, which also pays homage to the threshold moment, and shows reverence for the handling of space and time. The monk or nun enters the church for the saying of the daily offices, but always leaves him- or herself time to stand, to wait, to let go of all the demands of whatever the previous activity had been, with all its concurrent anxieties and expectations. That stillness permits each one to enter into that space kept empty in the heart for the Word of God. By rushing, whether through a sense of duty or obligation, or to save a few extra moments for the task at hand, they may gain something in terms of daily work. What is lost, however, is the attention, the awareness of crossing over into the time and place for opus Dei, the work of God."
Many years ago when missionaries left their home countries, they were on a ship for weeks (sometimes months!) before they arrived "on the field". I'm grateful for the relatively quick trip that airplanes provide (and that we can avoid the seasickness), but I find myself craving that "space in between". I needed a space to exhale before I could inhale again. Esther de Waal writes about this idea from Celtic Christianity in her book, To Pause at the Threshold.
I was so excited to settle into our new home in New Zealand, but the 7 months we spent fundraising and preparing was hard work! My soul desired rest and rejuvenation for myself and for my family before jumping into this new work of growing a small church in the city of Christchurch.
We decided to visit the island of Oahu in Hawaii for a few reasons. It was the perfect threshold for us, it was a good halfway point, and my aunt/uncle/cousin's family live there! We were able to overcome jet lag and barely experienced any once we arrived in NZ. We also had five days dedicated to connection with each other, with family, and with nature.
We slept a lot, ate some amazing food, swam in the gorgeous ocean waters, saw seals and turtles, and went on a few beautiful hikes! One fantastic part was getting to chat with my aunt, uncle, and cousin who've traveled and worked with the church all over Asia. I am so grateful for their wisdom and encouragement.
Ever wonder why songs have "intros"? An intro acts as a threshold; separating two experiences as the space in between, it gets you ready and prepares you, helping you anticipate what is to come. Hawaii was our threshold. And now, Welcome to New Zealand!

Amnesty details U.S. murder, torture, war crimes under Obama
Brett Wilkins
Aug 15, 2014 in
A scathing new report from Amnesty International details how the U.S. military has systematically ignored and covered up the torture and killing of innocent civilians committed by its forces in Afghanistan.
The report, titled
"Left In The Dark,"
contains detailed investigations of 10 separate incidents in which at least 140 civilians, including pregnant women and at least 50 children, were killed by US forces between 2009 and 2013. In nine of the 10 cases, survivors and witnesses claim they were never interviewed by the US military.
"Thousands of Afghans have been killed or injured by US forces since the invasion, but the victims and their families have little chance of redress," Amnesty International Asia Pacific director Richard Bennet wrote. "The US military justice system almost always fails to hold its soldiers accountable for unlawful killings and other abuses."
"None of the cases that we looked into — involving more than 140 civilian deaths — were prosecuted by the US military," added Bennett. "Evidence of possible war crimes and unlawful killings has seemingly been ignored."
The Amnesty investigation focused mainly on US air strikes and night raids, including Special Forces operations, which have killed and terrorized many Afghan civilians and stoked widespread anti-Americanism.
Amnesty interviewed survivors of a botched February 2010 Special Forces night raid in Khataba, Paktia province in which numerous innocent civilians, including two pregnant women, a teenage girl, the local police chief and a district prosecutor, were killed while celebrating the birth of a grandson.
Civil servant Muhammad Tahir's daughter, who was seven months pregnant, was killed in the raid. Tahir
the Daily Beast how he had been forced to listen to the dying woman's last gasps and sobs while the Americans threatened to kill anyone who moved.
"She was calling out for help, maybe she wanted to share her last words before she left us forever," Tahir said. In addition to leaving him forever, the two pregnant woman left behind 16 orphaned children between them.
When the Special Forces troops realized their error, witnesses claim they attempted to conceal their slaughter by digging bullets from the victims' bodies with their hands and knives before washing the wounds with alcohol and lying to their superiors about what happened. US officials then attempted to conceal the atrocity by suggesting the women had been murdered, possibly in 'honor killings' or Taliban executions, prior to the Special Forces night raid.
"The immediate effort to cover up what had been done suggested that [the Americans] realized it was a crime," said Joanne Mariner, author of the Amnesty report. "And changing the story over time definitely suggests a cover-up."
US and NATO officials initially denied killing the civilians or covering up their deaths. But NATO officials later acknowledged evidence to the contrary.
"There was evidence of tampering at the scene, walls being washed, bullets dug out of holes in the wall," a NATO official
New York Times
, adding that investigators "couldn't find bullets from the wounds in the body."
Four years later, Tahir and other survivors and witnesses are still waiting to be interviewed by US officials, who pledged a thorough investigation and accountability.
"America, the killed nation, we will never forgive you," vowed Tahir.
In addition to the killing of innocent civilians, the Amnesty report also details forcible disappearances, extrajudicial killings and torture committed by US forces during the supposedly torture-free Obama era. Many of these alleged war crimes occurred in Wardak province, where what has been described as a "rogue US unit" based at Combat Outpost Nerkh reportedly
committed war crimes and atrocities
with impunity.
Ministry of Culture employee Qandi Agha, 51, was captured by US forces who stormed his home and dragged him off to a dark wooden cell.
"On the first night, the Americans told me they were going to try 14 different types of torture on me," Agha told Amnesty. "If I survived, they said they'd let me go."
Agha claims the Americans subjected him to electric shocks, beatings, interrupted drowning, hanging from the ceiling, partial burial and exposure to extreme cold. He also claims to have had a string tied around his penis for four days so that he could not urinate. These torture techniques are among those which have been
previously reported
to have been committed by US military and intelligence personnel during the course of the 13-year global war against terrorism.
"Four people beat me with cables. They tied my legs together and beat the soles of my feet with a wooden stick," Agha told Amnesty. "They punched me in the face and kicked me. They hit my head on the floor."
Agha also says half of the eight men he was imprisoned with died while in US custody. He claims to have personally witnessed an American commando beat detainee Sayed Muhammed to death. The same "rogue unit" that captured him has been implicated in the disappearance or killing of at least 15 Afghans, with many more reportedly tortured.
"A lot of bodies were found showing horrendous crimes of torture — people missing body parts and people whose corpses have been mutilated," said Mariner.
There have been multiple reports of US forces
Afghan corpses during the course of the 13-year war.
As is so often the case, US officials at first denied allegations of atrocities committed by Special Forces based at Combat Outpost Nerkh. But by February 2013, those allegations were so pervasive that Afghan President Hamid Karzai took the unprecedented step of
all US Special Forces troops from Wardak province.
"The US knew about complaints, and that obviously raises concerns as to why this wasn't stopped sooner, because the abuses went on," said Mariner. "There were people who were disappeared as late as February."
Throughout his candidacy and into the early days of his administration, President Barack Obama pledged to end the torture that plagued America's forces — and reputation — during the Bush era.
"I intend to close Guantánamo, and I will follow through on that," Obama
on CBS
60 Minutes
shortly after his historic 2008 election victory. "I have said repeatedly that America doesn't torture, and I'm going to make sure that we don't torture. Those are part and parcel of an effort to regain America's moral stature in the world."
But even during the early days of his tenure, there were reports that torture
under the new guard.
Earlier this month, Obama publicly acknowledged for the first time that
"we tortured some folks."
Although the president was referring to crimes committed during the Bush administration, few corporate mainstream media outlets reported that Obama only said that he had
banned "some"
— not "all" — of the "extraordinary interrogation techniques" practiced under Bush.
Obama has disappointed many progressives, not only by failing to close Guantánamo, but also by refusing to bring the
Bush officials
responsible for torture to justice despite
to do so during his 2008 presidential campaign.
But after taking office, Obama
he was "more interested in looking forward than… in looking backwards." Not only did the president refuse to prosecute anyone in connection with the illegal torture of terror suspects, the Justice Department provided legal aid for John Yoo, the Bush lawyer who authored a
claiming anti-torture laws did not apply to overseas terror detainees. The DOJ under Eric Holder also
attempted to prevent
torture victims from suing Yoo.
Under both US and international law
, failure to prosecute those responsible for torture is itself a war crime.
Despite what the Amnesty report calls "abundant and compelling evidence of war crimes," no one has been criminally prosecuted for the overwhelming majority of the incidents in the latest Afghanistan investigation. Amnesty says thousands of Afghan families have waited in vain for justice for their slain loved ones.
The trouble is, the US military, under the
Uniform Code of Military Justice
, is responsible for investigating and policing the actions of its own troops. This creates obvious conflicts of interest. Military officials have routinely failed to properly investigate alleged war crimes and atrocities. Worse, it appears that in some cases, such as the Khataba massacre, officials have engaged in cover-ups. All of this is happening under the watch of a president who claims to have ended torture.
"President Obama has admitted that 'we tortured' people in the past — but this is not the Bush administration, this is torture happening under Obama," asserted Mariner.
Amnesty said it is aware of only six cases since 2009 in which US troops have faced trial for war crimes and atrocities committed in Afghanistan. Only two of the scores of witnesses and survivors interviewed for the Amnesty report said they had been contacted by US investigators. Often, victims' relatives reported being kept in the dark when investigations did occur.
A Pentagon spokesman interviewed by the Daily Beast did not deny any of the allegations in the Amnesty report, but claimed that the Pentagon does not condone or allow torture.
"The Department of Defense does not permit its personnel to engage in acts of torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment of any person in its custody," said Maj. Bradlee Avots.
Amnesty urged the Pentagon to "immediately investigate all the cases" documented in the new report.
"The victims and their family members deserve justice," wrote Bennett.
The report also urged reform of a "deeply flawed US military justice system."
"Lacking independent prosecutorial authorities, it expects soldiers and commanders to report potential human rights violations themselves," the report states, noting that "the conflict of interest is clear."
Back in Khataba, Muhammad Tahir is still waiting for justice.
"We lost five members of the family and about 20 kids became orphans," he lamented to the Daily Beast. "What was our crime? Can the Americans tell us?"

Apple Car Talk Starts Making Sense
Sep 23, 2015 11:13 AM PT
The Apple car rumor gained some legs this week with a Wall Street Journal report that brings some interesting new insight.
Though a bit shy on verifiable details -- it cites unnamed people familiar with Apple's plans and vaguely refers to people inside Apple -- the report suggests the company will triple its current 600-person team to 1,800 people as it ramps up its car development effort, code-named "Titan."
Previous Apple car reports have linked Apple's hiring of automobile experts to Titan, with some assuming that Apple even poached some employees from Tesla.
Earlier rumors also made the assumption that Apple was developing a self-driving car, but the Journal's latest story indicates the first Apple car won't be fully autonomous.
It also establishes a timeline, sort of. The target ship date is 2019 -- though there is some doubt about whether that's accurate.
All along, it's been expected that the rumored Apple car will be electric.
So, Is Apple Building a Car or Not?
Apple has not confirmed any plans to build a car, but the evidence has been mounting.
Apple execs recently met with the California Department of Motor Vehicles to discuss the state's regulations for autonomous vehicles, according to documents obtained by The Guardian.
Emails obtained by the Journal not only corroborate that report, but also reveal Apple's interest in booking a time slot to use GoMentum Station, which is training space for next-generation autonomous vehicle sensors and driving systems.
From what I've seen, this represents the latest smoking gun evidence that Apple is serious about building a car.
However, working on a car is a long way from actually delivering a car. Case in point? The long-rumored next-generation Apple TV.
For years, rumors suggested that Apple was building its own HDTV-like Apple TV -- and many people believed them. After years of buzz, that's not what Apple announced to the world this month. Instead, it presented a refinement of its existing Apple TV set-top box, making it more powerful and adding an app store.
So might we see an Apple car by 2019? That's hard to imagine -- especially if Apple obsesses over all the details as it tends to do when building its products.
Isn't Building a Car Too Difficult for Apple?
Cars have a lot of moving parts and a lot of regulations, and if there's one thing that I've noticed about complicated industries, the key players tend to exhibit a bit of hubris over how hard their jobs are.
College engineering students build interesting cars and car components all the time, and they tend to lack resources like money, space, tools and a human workforce. I would argue that -- especially for a company with Apple's billions of dollars worth of resources -- building a car isn't that hard at all.
Getting it right, on the other hand, and making a meaningful leap forward -- well, that will be hard.
Yet Tesla has done it. Tesla not only produced an interesting electric vehicle, but also created something even harder -- Tesla delivered the Model S. I don't care who you are, the Model S is a damn fine-looking automobile. I'm a pickup kind of guy myself, but the Model S exudes an interesting blend of sexy-but-refined aggression. My point is, Tesla has created its own niche while also creating a desirable product.
So I wouldn't count Apple out of the car game any time soon. In fact, Apple has an extraordinarily complicated and efficient supply chain that criss-crosses the globe. Regulatory compliance and logistics? Apple is a company that has the discipline to handle those issues.
What about not the rumor of not producing a game-changing fully autonomous car? Why back off on that vision and compete with so many other manufacturers, especially while Google is working so hard on its own self-driving car?
I don't think Apple has a need to be first. Being first is a more of a bonus than an end goal. While Apple has paved the road for plenty of consumer electronics segments, it clearly has trailed the work of others. Case in point? The new iPad Pro. The keyboard cover and form factor aren't new, nor is the notion of a stylus. However, the iPad Pro most definitely will be more profitable than every other competitive product in its segment.
Apple's playbook seems to be to produce a product that's pretty damn good and that's also profitable. Then it refines it as consumers get used to the segment, making it better and better.
A natural progression with a car would be to get the batteries and the battery ecosystem right -- not to mention consumer desire. That's step one. Step two is to add in driving-assistance features, heading toward self-driving vehicles. If Google does all the work to get consumers and governments to accept self-driving cars... I think Apple would be fine with that, swooping in later to scoop up most of the profit.
Which Brings Us to Why Build a Car?
When I think about Apple building a car, I've got to wonder why. Why would Apple step past its consumer electronics sweet spot, investing billions of dollars over many years before coming close to a return on the investment?
I believe that Apple CEO Tim Cook might be the kind of guy who wants to develop something meaningful for the world -- more than entertainment or fashion devices. I've never met him, of course, but everything I've read about him or heard him say in interviews leads me to believe that he cares about producing meaningful products. So, I don't find an Apple car a leap at all.
On the contrary, it's almost inevitable, because a car is a discrete product that people buy not only with practicality in mind, but also with emotion -- areas Apple excels in. Plus, the car is at once loved and hated. It's a necessary evil that contributes to environmental chaos -- and where there are passions and problems, there also can be profits.
Cars represent a product that Apple can build that would be in line with its core skills and yet also effect meaningful change within five or 10 years. If you think ahead to the sky and beyond, a car is just another step to critical new products and Apple ecosystems.
So like I said, I don't think an Apple car is a leap at all.

One day we will all reach the level of awareness when we become convinced that there is no one "out there" with power over our life situations and circumstances. We all one day will learn to be quick to confront within ourselves the great temptation of falsely believing and attributing all inequalities to political corruption, social injustices, and economic competition.
"Waking up" will force us to accept the verdict of history 'that new legislation, social reform, and more economic reorganization however good in and of themselves,' will not be a remedy for inherited personality limitations and accidents from misaligned living. The desire for progress will require us to devote our attention to the comprehension of facts and wise manipulation within the laws of nature as the means to get us what we want and to avoid what we do not want.
"The political victory of your candidate, lower gas prices, better medical treatment for your sick one, or the reconnection with your beloved friend, or some other favorable event, raises your spirits, and you think good days are preparing for you. DO NOT BELIEVE IT. Nothing "out there" can bring you peace. Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of knowing, being, and doing your truth.

How to Tear Out Drywall
Drywall is a lightweight, inexpensive and easy-to-handle material that can quickly turn bare concrete or studs into a finished wall. It also takes paint, wallpaper and other decorations for the final touch. If you need to move a wall or change the appearance of one, you can just as easily tear out the drywall.
Locate an area of drywall that is away from any studs or other behind-the-wall utility. You can use a stud finder to locate those spaces, or tap on the wall until you hear a hollow sound. For best results, select an area that is not above or beside any plumbing, electrical outlets or switches. This avoids potentially destroying any wiring or pipes. If such fixtures exist, try to find a space that is on the diagonal from them. Use an area that is at about chest height.
Cut a hole in the area with the box cutter or hobby knife. Make the hole slightly larger than the hooked end of your crowbar. If possible, inspect inside the hole with a flashlight to verify that no studs, wires or plumbing exist behind it.
Wear the safety goggles, work gloves and face mask to protect yourself from drywall pieces and dust.
Wedge the hooked end of the crowbar into the hole and pull outward to enlarge the space. Do this until the hole becomes wide enough for both your hands to fit through.
Put your hands inside the hole and grip the drywall. Then pull forcefully until you tear away a chunk. Put the piece in the garbage bag.
Continue pulling away at the wall until you tear away the entire wall. If needed, vacuum the floor and the surfaces on which the drywall was attached to remove any residual materials. Dispose of the garbage bag.
Things Needed
- Box cutter or hobby knife
- Crowbar
- Flashlight
- Work gloves
- Safety goggles
- Safety mask

Katherine (Seton novel)
Katherine is a 1954 historical novel by American author Anya Seton. It tells the story of the historically important, 14th-century love affair in England between the eponymous Katherine Swynford and John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, the third surviving son of King Edward III.

In 2003, Katherine was ranked 95 in the BBC's Big Read survey of Britain's best-loved novels. It is commonly regarded as a prime example of historical fiction, and has been continuously in print since its publication date.
Plot summaryEdit
Katherine tells the true story of Katherine de Roet, born the daughter of a minor Flemish herald, later knight. Katherine has no obvious prospects, except that her sister is a waiting-woman to Queen Philippa, wife of King Edward III, and the fiancée of Geoffrey Chaucer, then a minor court official. By virtue of this connection, Katherine meets and marries Sir Hugh Swynford of Lincolnshire and gives birth to a daughter, Blanchette, and a son, Thomas.
After Hugh's death, Katherine becomes the mistress of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, and bears him four children out of wedlock, given the surname 'Beaufort' after one of the Duke's possessions. She is also appointed official governess to the Duke's two daughters by his first wife, Blanche of Lancaster, and helps raise his son by Blanche, the future King Henry IV. The Duke and Katherine separate for a number of years, immediately following Wat Tyler's Peasants' Revolt in 1381, when the rioting peasants sacked and burnt the Duke's Savoy Palace to the ground. The novel's explanation for their separation is Katherine's shock over revelations concerning the death of her husband. However, the couple eventually reconcile and marry after the death of the Duke's second wife. The Beaufort children, now grown, are legitimised by royal and papal decrees after Katherine and the Duke are married, but their half-brother Henry inserts a proviso sometime later specifically barring them from inheriting the throne.
Katherine is considered Seton's most well-known work[1] as well as the best-known depiction of Katherine herself.[2] In 2003, Katherine was ranked 95 in the BBC's Big Read survey of Britain's best-loved novels.[3] It is commonly regarded as a prime example of historical fiction and romance,[4][5] with Vanora Bennett of The Independent noting in 2010 that it "set the benchmark in high-medieval romance, and few have matched her since".[6] It has been continuously in print since its publication date.[7]
In 2006, Margaret Moser of the Austin Chronicle described the novel as "a glorious example of romance in its most classic literary sense: exhilarating, exuberant, and rich with the jeweled tones of England in the 1300s".[7] Nick Rennison believes that the novel has retained its popularity "because of the skill with which [Seton] evokes the world her heroine enters and because Katherine herself remains such a powerful character".[8]
As a historical romance, Katherine is considered well written and carefully researched, given that Seton was not a historian or paleographer and was working in the 1950s, when less information was available to her. It diverges comparatively little from known history, though since paleographic documentation of Katherine's life is limited, it does contain some necessary conjecture. Though subsequent non-fiction accounts of Katherine, including those by historians Alison Weir and Jeanette Lucraft, make clear that Seton's various speculations were partly and sometimes significantly incorrect, the novel does provide the reader with a reasonably accurate view of medieval England, life at court, and the lives of women in the 14th century, along with intelligent and sensitive glimpses of Chaucer, Katherine's brother-in-law.
In addition, Katherine is one of the few fictional texts that include writings by the Blessed Julian of Norwich, a character in the novel, who is considered one of England's greatest mystics and whose Revelations of Divine Love was the first book written in English by a woman. Katherine is also considered one of the greatest examples of a historical-fiction love story ever written. In a poll conducted in the 1990s by Ladies' Home Journal, the novel ranked among the top-ten all-time best love stories.
Weir was inspired by Katherine to become an author of historical fiction,[9][10] and the novel would also later inspire her non-fiction study, Katherine Swynford: The Story of John of Gaunt and his Scandalous Duchess (2008) (U.S. title, Mistress of the Monarchy, The Life of Katherine Swynford, Duchess of Lancaster).[11][12] It examines Seton's novel in historiographic terms and, while praising its general historical accuracy, categorizes it as primarily a feminist romance.

Big Profits Plan Review
One couple says they earned $70,000 in their first month. Another said he'd just earned $4000 today. All of this, says the video, came from a piece of software that earns up to $125,000 per month, completely on autopilot.
The video goes on to say that they'll give you $500 just for watching the video, signing up and following their simple instructions for the Big Profits Plan. The total cost is only $47, and they're going to give you $500 if it doesn't work?
That sounded interesting, so I thought I'd take a closer look and see what the Big Profits Plan is all about. Is Big Profits Plan a scam, or can you really earn $10,000 per week or more with it?
Read on for the full Big Profits Plan review.
Big Profits Plan Overview
The sales page for the Big Profits Plan wouldn't tell me what I was doing. Not only that, but I couldn't do anything until I finished watching the eight minute video. In that video, a guy named Pat told me that he used to earn $9.50 per hour at a job he hated, and then he met a guy who knew about some amazing software that did all the work for you and let you earn $125,000 every month, automatically.
At the end of the video, an order screen appears, and they tell me that I can order the Big Profits Plan system for just $47, though the page says that the "regular" price is $997. If you click that link, you'll be taken to the order page, where you can buy the system. Off to the right, you'll see some testimonials from people who bought the system, including an 88 year old grandmother who says she earned $6237 in just three months.
So what do you get when you buy Big Profits Plan?
What you're getting for your "one-time" payment of $97 for Big Profits Plan is:
- Big Profits Plan (with ASPIRE training)
- Step by step instructions
- Lead pages
- Success toolbox
Up until now, they really haven't given me any information about what I'd be doing, what the software does, or how it makes money for me. They've told me nothing at all, aside from the fact that I can earn huge $1000, $3000 or $10,000 at a time, but doing what?
As it happens, a single word caught my eye on the page where you order the Big Profits Plan. That word was "Aspire."
That told me everything I needed to know about Big Profits Plan, because I have written about Aspire before. This is a product that keeps popping up under different names, and as it turns out, Big Profits Plan is pretty much the very same system as Instant Success System.
When you buy Big Profits Plan, you're joining the Aspire program, but Aspire is actually just the first level of a program called Digital Altitude.
Aspire is actually a subscription program, but Big Profits Plan doesn't say they're giving you that. They're giving you Aspire training, which means you'll probably be told to build a Website just like the Big Profits Plan site so you can get others to join.
So what is Aspire and Digital Altitude all about? It's a marketing program that consists of six different levels and yes, your membership in Digital Altitude does make it possible to earn huge commissions – up to $10,000 or so per sale.
…in order to earn those commissions, you first have to join all of the levels of Digital Altitude. Each level qualifies you to earn commissions for the sale of that level. If you're an Aspire-level member, you can earn commissions if you persuade other people to sign up as Aspire-level members.
But Digital Altitude has five levels that come after Aspire – Base, Rise, Ascend, Peak, and Apex. Joining each of those levels is priced like this:
- Base – $397
- Rise – $1497
- Ascend – $6997
- Peak – $11,997
- Apex – $19,997
Each of these levels come with training, and some of them allow you to travel to seminars where you'll meet other Digital Altitude members as well as "experts" who will show you how to earn the big commissions.
In order to earn commissions at any level of Digital Altitude, you must first purchase that level yourself. That means that if you're an Aspire member and you persuade someone else to join, you'll get a commission. If that person then buys Base and you have not purchased Base already, someone else will get the commission for that sale.
That gives you tremendous incentive to buy all of the levels, so that you can be sure that you can get full commissions for any sales you make. The problem for most people is that buying all of those levels will cost you nearly $40,000.
What about the software that makes money for you on autopilot? There isn't any. Digital Altitude is not a software system. It's a multilevel marketing system where you will have to talk people into buying the product yourself. You can do that in person or you can build a Website like Big Profits Plan, but one way or another, you'll be doing the work.
You will be doing a lot of work, too. It's not easy to get someone to part with $10, or $20, or $100. It's a whole lot harder to get someone to spend $6997, $11,997 or $19,997.
Do you know anyone with that kind of money to spend on a moneymaking system? If you do, then that's great. Otherwise, you'll find that it's very difficult to get people to buy a product that costs that much money.
There are a few people making money with Big Profits Plan and Digital Altitude, but it's mostly the people who created the program. The average person doesn't do nearly as well, and you're very unlikely to be able to earn $125,000 per month with it.
What about the promise in the video that you'll make $500 just for watching the video? The fine print on that says that you have to sign up with Big Profits Plan, and then do everything they tell you to do for the next 30 days. If you don't make any money, they'll pay you $500.
The list of things they tell you to do during that first 30 days involves joining other Digital Altitude levels. That means that you will spend far more than $500 – perhaps thousands. But if you don't make any money, they'll give you $500. Doesn't seem like a good deal to me.
Pros and Cons of Big Profits Plan
- Only $47 to sign up.
- Potential commissions of up to $10,000 per sale
- You will have to spend up to $40,000 to qualify to earn those commissions
- The cost of the product makes it very hard to sell
Big Profits Plan Summary
Is Big Profits Plan a scam? I'd say that it's misleading. They don't tell you up front that you will have to spend a fortune to even qualify to earn the kind of money that they're describing in the video. Most people don't have that kind of money to invest, and they don't know the kinds of people who have that kind of money to invest, either.
There are ways to make money online that are more affordable than Big Profits Plan. I'd suggest that you try one of those instead.
Big Profits Plan is not recommended.

Suits finds a "Break Point"
Written by : goodbadgeeky published Saturday 21st July 2012
"Et tu, Donna?"
That is what Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) might as well be saying to Donna Paulsen (Sarah Rafferty) his now former secretary. In what was a fantastic hour of television, Suits ended the episode "Break Point" with big shot Jessica Pearson (Gina Torres) not only mincing words with co-partner Daniel Hardman (David Costabile) but by firing Donna herself.
And Donna had her chances. That was what make this episode so fantastically great but brutal was that Donna ended up making things worse for herself in the long run despite her attempts to save Harvey some face. We all get it that Donna, whatever her past with Harvey might be, cares for him on such a great level that her motives make sense. Sadly though, even Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams) was smart enough to know that if you don't come clean about this and play it smart, Harvey will try to save you but he might not be able to.
And that is exactly what happened. While we could wax on about the real sense of sadness that we felt for Donna but also for Harvey (who is slowly watching the world around him crumble), the thing about that though is the television fan in me sees this not as the end of Donna's tenure. For as much as I give Suits credit for starting out of the gate with a real bang with a near perfect second season thus far, it begs the question, how will Donna remain part of the show? USA Network shows, or let alone, almost 99% of any show attempt tactics like this but none stick.
So while Donna may be out for the count now, how long until she comes back as Harvey's secretary?
Honestly that was the only 'beef' I had with the show the entire time I was watching "Break Point". While I was upset with character choices, they were true to form for those characters, such as Pearson reaming Hardman in the final moments instead of cutting Specter loose. While I can appreciate Jessica choosing loyalty and trusting in Harvey, at the same time, Daniel's intent has not been cruel or malicious as Pearson is making it out to be. Not really.
I guess if the show wants me to hate Daniel Hardman, they are collectively doing a bad job of this besides trying to side with Harvey and Jessica's Spidey Senses. And as a Spider-man fan, I get it, as spidey-senses are NEVER wrong, but Costabile is playing the role and the writing is showcasing that Hardman is truly trying to do the right thing for the firm. Or at least that is what I take away from it. There are many more episodes I'm sure that are in the can that might showcase Hardman's true intent, but as of now, that was a big mistake in my honest opinion. And it doesn't see to end there as the trailers for the upcoming episode seems to allow Harvey to dip further into new lows.
Upon further reflection, and perhaps there was a gap in my watching the show but the resolution of the agent storyline, the case that Mike personally took to court felt wrapped too quickly and neatly. While it felt like Mike not only shut down the case for the betterment of his client, at the same time he 'ruined' the agent, which is one of Harvey's good friends and close allies. The idea that it wasn't referenced in the episode either meant it was on the cutting room floor, will be referenced later or hopefully not, but sidestepped all together.
Then again, maybe that is okay, as the real drama is with what is happening with Harvey and this case against him.
Yes, the blood is in the water and the sharks are starting to get hungry and it makes me wonder where else season two for Suits could go. While I figured it would end with a witch hunt of Hardman going after Mike, unless the witch hunt really IS being run in the shadows by Hardman, the idea that Harvey's past is catching up with him, perhaps another reason why he gave a second chance to Mike, is truly fascinating and keeps me as a viewer on my toes and uncertain 100% how things might pan out with some things. While I know that Suits will have everything wrap itself in a neat little bow (this is a USA Network show, right?) the journey is what makes it fun, not the destination.

So, I have had a youtube channel in my early 20s in which I have posted funny sketches and song covers. Since then, I have deleted/made those videos private for reasons I….well, I just don't like them lol.
As of Quarantine situation….I've been singing a lot more due to boredom. I even bought a ukelele to learn a new skill.
I thought maybe it would be a good idea to revive my old youtube channel and put content on there. So, I thought of sharing it with you guys! Hope y'all like and come visit me on there too! It's scary at the thought I'd have some people view me singing, but hey it's a start!!

Growing up in a non-observant home, Dave wound up in yeshiva at Ohr Somayach. As time progressed, he began observing Shabbat and growing in his understanding of Torah and mitzvot. After spending a period of time in yeshiva, he decided that he would return home to his parents. "If you return home," a rabbi of his explained, "it will be very difficult for you to observe Shabbat. There you have no rabbi, no shul and a non-observant home. We recommend that you stay here for longer." After some back and forth, Dave chose to leave.
Finally at home, Shabbat was to begin in just a few hours. "What am I going to do? Stay at home all day?" Dave wondered. "My parents watch television, and it will be very challenging for me to keep Shabbat." And so, he turned to G-d. "G-d, if everything they taught me in yeshiva is true, please give me a sign. If You give me a sign, I promise I will keep Shabbat for the rest of my life."
Shabbat began, but no sign. "You know what G-d? I'll give you an extension until midnight. If by midnight You give me a sign, I will not break Shabbat." Came midnight, but no sign.
"Okay G-d, I'll give you one more extension so you won't say I'm unfair. 12:15." Fifteen minutes later, still no sign. And with the click of a button, on went the television. As Dave turned the television on, he immediately came across the David Letterman show. Friday night at 12:15 am, David Letterman was interviewing Tom Hanks, a well-known filmmaker. "So," David Letterman asked his guest, "what have you been up to lately?" "I just got back from Israel," Tom replied. "Oh really, did you learn any Hebrew?" "In fact, I did." Turning towards the camera, Tom said, "Shabbat Shalom Dave!" Dave was shocked as he stared into the television. With his very own eyes he had just seen exactly what he needed: Shabbat Shalom Dave!
Sometimes we are looking and looking all over the place for a message, yet we seem to be unable to find it. But then the switch goes on and lights up right before us exactly what we needed to see and hear. "I am here," Hashem says, "make sure you don't forget." ~ Rabbi Mordechai Becher from Torah Anytime

HeinOnline is pleased to announce that next week we will be releasing our newest a-la-carte library, World Constitutions Illustrated. Focusing on the study of world constitutions both historic and current, individual governments, and the history of each nation, this library will allow legal scholars to research the constitutional and political development of the nations that make up our global community. With the launch of this new library, we are introducing a new legal research platform that brings together constitutional documents, books, articles, bibliographic references, and web sites all into one database!
The initial release of World Constitutions Illustrated will feature:
- The current constitution for every country
- Substantial constitutional histories for the United Kingdom, France, Brazil and Colombia (among others)
- More than 800 classic books about constitutional law
- More than a dozen legal periodicals focused on constitutional law
- Other sources such as Annual Human Rights Reports Submitted to Congress, Country Studies, Modern Legal Systems Cyclopedia and the World Fact Book

The collection is in its infancy and will only grow. Just as we did with the Law Journal Library ten years ago, we want to partner with again you to build the world's greatest collection of constitutions and constitutional resources. If you have a book, constitutional document, or suggestion for an article, or if you specialize in the constitutional law of a specific country or have access to a foreign law collection, we invite you to contribute and help us build the collection.
More information about the content and subscription options will be available soon. Stay tuned for more details about HeinOnline's forthcoming World Constitutions Illustrated!

The Park
An area called Longlands towards the south of the parish of Holkham was known in the Middle Ages and is shown on the earliest map of Holkham dated 1590.
In the early 1730s Thomas Coke, builder of the Hall (later 1st Earl of Leicester of the 1st creation) created a new farm which he called Longlands, providing it with new farm premises on the site which is also now known as Longlands. This was part of the process of enclosure and rationalisation of the Holkham farms which, at that time, numbered five or six tenanted farms that made possible his creation of a park to surround his proposed hall.
His great-nephew and successor, Thomas William Coke (later 1st Earl of Leicester of the 2nd creation), the famous farmer, took Longlands farm back in hand in the 1790s and proceeded over the next few years to equip it with extensive new buildings. These included a barn, a 'hexagon keeping room for Mr Wright', the farm bailiff, stables, granaries and wool chambers. In 1798 a "sheep shew house" was added. The new buildings were probably designed by the architect Samuel Wyatt, who was active at Holkham in 1792 to 1794. They replaced old farm premises in the original village, located near to the south end of the lake, as the headquarters of the hall farm (later known as Park Farm) and they became the focus of Thomas William Coke's annual Sheep Shearings, first reported in the local press in the year that the sheep show house was built.
Some of the present buildings date back to the 1790s or earlier: probably the cattle yards and sheds and the surviving barn which, despite alterations, appears to be the setting for a famous painting of the Shearings. A new village to house eleven families working at Longlands was originally known as Longlands village, later New Holkham (since rebuilt).
Longlands as seen today is largely the result of massive re-development in the 1850s by Thomas William Coke's son, the 2nd Earl of Leicester, and his new agent, H. W. Keary. More cattle yards, implement sheds and wagon lodges with granaries above were built and a large range of estate workshops was added, including implement sheds, carpenters' shop, saw mill, smithies and workshops, with a steam engine to power the saw mill, bellows and lathes. They were designed by a prominent agricultural engineer and architect, G. A. Dean, and were on a scale comparable to the notable buildings at the Duke of Bedford's Woburn estate (built about ten years earlier). They replaced the last of the old estate workshops that had remained between the lake and the kitchen gardens.
Through centralisation of farming practices the buildings had become largely redundant and one of the challenges for the estate was how to re-use these historic Grade II and II* farm buildings. In 2015 the first phase of a £2 million renovation of Longlands with the creation of 9,000 square feet of modern office accommodation was completed, transforming the former home farm once again into the commercial heart of the estate. The project is known as Holkham Studios.

Blog > Volunteering at Oxford House
Volunteering at Oxford House
If you are currently sat at home, looking for a reason to get out of bed before midday, almost bored to death of binge watching the same couple of episode of Friends that you have seen 30 times in the last 2 weeks alone, or if you simply just want to try something new and want a change of scenery then volunteering at Oxford House is for you. With an array of roles that you could volunteer in, in a thriving and vibrant community in Bethnal Green, where you have the flexibility to choose the hours you would like to volunteer and also gain many invaluable skills for life. This seems almost too good an opportunity to pass up doesn't it?? The answer is yes, yes it does.
Volunteering can feel like a daunting task, especially right before your first day! There are many reasons why you may feel nervous, such as not knowing what your exact role is, not knowing if people will treat you like you are a part of the team not to mention thenumerous other things that could potentially go wrong. Oxford House however, is completely different.
Of course there is still the initial worry, but this is lessened through the friendliness that is conveyed even through the e-mails. Furthermore, as soon as you walk in through the doors you are met with a friendly and warm smile at reception which sets the tone for how the organisation is run and the kind of people working here. After making your way through reception you are met with even more friendly faces who are all eager to help and introduce themselves making you feel like you are part of the community in Oxford House straight away, and it is just that, a community of diverse people. Everything is very organised and seamless and it is immediately obvious to see why Oxford House has so many volunteers, and why volunteers love volunteering here, and how they are co-dependent on each other.
Go on! Try it. You might even like it…
By Thufayel Ahmed, Oxford House volunteer

Things you should know..
Welcome to our community! We are delighted that you have decided to join us for acupuncture. Here are a few things that may be useful for you to know..
- You will receive treatment in a quiet, comfortable room.
- We will speak briefly with you before you get treated; please try to keep your voice down low so as not to disturb others
- There will be other people getting treated at the same time, in the same room, in the same way
- If you need to leave at a certain time, please let us know when you arrive
- Please pay when you arrive, this helps the clinic run that little bit more smoothly.
- If you need to bring extra pillows or blankets to make yourself comfortable, please do!
- Oh, and please make sure your mobile is off before you get comfortable!
Acupuncture is a process. Occasionally acupuncture will act like a 'miracle cure' and a person will have all their symptoms disappear after one treatment, but as acupuncture works by stimulating the body's own healing response, it's usually gradual. Almost everybody who comes for acupuncture will need series of treatments to get good results, which is one of the biggest reasons why we have a sliding scale.
If this is your first visit to us, please click on the link below, print out the forms, and bring them along with you! If you would like your friends to come along, please tell them about us – to help our community grow we rely on all our wonderful patients telling everyone they know about how great acupuncture is, and how well it works when it's not too expensive!

Dan Phillips says he did what he could to help keep his 20-year-old son off the powerful prescription drugs he was addicted to.
The Orlando father installed a GPS device in his son's vehicle. He bought him a new cell phone and cleaned out the contacts in his old one. He sent him to rehab. In late August, Phillips kept his son by his side 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
But in the end, the family's efforts weren't enough to save Chad Phillips, a Boone High School grad who overdosed on oxycodone in September.
Substance-abuse experts in Central Florida say they receive calls daily from people like Dan Phillips, people desperate to know what they can do to help save their loved one.
One of those options — though one that many are unaware of — is to use the Marchman Act, a Florida law that allows relatives and others associated with a drug addict to obtain a judge's order that sends the person to treatment.
"I get probably eight Marchman calls a day," said Lin Lindsay, director of the Center for Drug Free Living's Addictions Receiving Facility in Orlando. "Many of the calls are, 'I don't know what to do. I'm afraid that my loved one's about to die. … I don't want to find my child dead.' They are in distress."
In Orange County, the Center for Drug Free Living helps families complete the Marchman Act application, which has to be submitted to the Clerk of the Courts.
A judge reviews the petition and can issue an order to have the person picked up by law enforcement and brought to the Center for Drug Free Living, which is a secured facility. A judge can order someone to inpatient or outpatient treatment for up to 60 days.
It's unclear how many Marchman Act petitions are granted annually in Orange County, but the number of applications submitted to the clerk's office was up more than 20 percent from 2009 to 2010, according to department records.
As of mid-December, about 220 applications had been submitted to the clerk's office. Lindsay said she thinks a high rate of petitions are granted.
Still, Lindsay said, she doesn't think many people are aware of the Marchman Act, implemented in 1993.
"It has not been as utilized as much as the Baker Act has," Lindsay said of the Florida law that allows people to be involuntarily committed up to 72 hours for mental-health evaluations. "We're still training law-enforcement officers on the use of the Marchman Act."
One family's struggles
Phillips said he wasn't aware of the Marchman Act when he and his wife were dealing with their son's addiction.
Chad Phillips' prescription-drug problems began when he was 18. He was bright, an honor-roll student and had a loving family.
He got his prescriptions for painkillers and sedatives from various doctors by claiming his back hurt, though there was truly nothing wrong, his father said.
"He was changing. His voice was changing and the way he was conducting himself. It was apparent," Dan Phillips said.
The father eventually learned his son was crushing and snorting the pills. Phillips said neither he nor his son knew how deadly the drug could be.
"He made a mistake. He didn't realize what it is. He loved life. He had everything," Phillips said.
His advice for parents who are also dealing with an addict: Don't watch television shows about addiction and assume that's the standard for your child.
"I always thought, 'Well, my son is not that far along. He doesn't need rehab,' " Phillips said.
If someone thinks the same about his or her child, Phillips said, "trust me, he is that bad. That's exactly what I would say. I thought, for a fact, 'My son's not that far gone.' "
Even with Marchman Act, tragedy strikes
Although the Marchman Act can be a useful legal tool, there are no guarantees.
After falling down a flight of stairs about 10 years ago and breaking both heels, James "Jimmy" Leaguewas prescribed a painkiller for his post-surgery pain and then slowly weaned down to non-narcotic medicine.
But at some point, League began abusing prescription drugs.
The father of two ended up being placed under the Baker Act and the Marchman Act at least twice, said his mother, Sue League.
His family's efforts didn't work. In January 2010, League overdosed on a concoction of methadone, oxycodone and the sedative alprazolam. He was 32.
"If you have to put handcuffs on them, chain them to their bed, do whatever you can to stop them. I would never in a million years think I'd be talking about my son who died a year ago," League said. "We did everything we could. We spent all the money from our retirement funds to help him. But unless they want it to work, it's not going to work."

Dan Phillips says he did what he could to help keep his 20-year-old son off the powerful prescription drugs he was addicted to.

touch-sensitive mouse patent app we've already seen from Apple. This beast would allow for a buttonless pointing device which could sense the position of your digits for a myriad of gestural and positional control. Whether this is a patent to safeguard a brewing idea or actual product in the pipeilne is anybody's guess. Surely this filing, along with those for a backside touch interface and touch sensitive bezel give us a clue as to Apple's product mindset. Multi-touch MacBook touchpads anyone?

The Lullian 'Art of Finding Truth': Nicholas of Cusa
Here we present a Lullist author, the German philosopher Nicholas of Cusa (1401-1464). It is not known exactly how Cusa first encountered Lull's work; perhaps in Padua, in Cologne, in Basel or in Paris, where he came into contact with Lullian codices and made notes. The Folio of the manuscript we present is one such manuscript that was in his hands. The manuscript contains texts copied in the 14th century (the Ars demonstrativa) and in the 15th century (fragments of some 50 titles).
In this beautiful manuscript we can see several diagrams grouped together corresponding to Ramon Llull's Ars demonstrativa: the figures A, S, T, V, Y, Z, the figures of theology, philosophy, law, the periodic table…
If you look carefully, at the bottom of the right-hand page, you can see a diagram made with several levels of paper. When the different levels are rotated, the figure moves, and it was intended that this would turn it into an instrument of logical calculation. Note also the use of colour to differentiate the figures and at the same time, in some cases, the groups of items within them.

Blades 4-1 Stevenage - report
Shaun Miller netted his first league goals as the Blades returned to winning ways with an impressive performance.
Neill Collins opened the scoring and Chris Porter finished it as Stevenage, who started the game on the same points as the Blades, were overrun.
The victory ensures the Blades are now clear in second position, just two points behind Tranmere.
With regular full-backs McMahon and Hill ruled out with hamstring problems, Westlake and Miller were handed starts against Stevenage. New goalkeeper Coyne, signed on a month's contract, was on the bench and joined by McFadzean, Philliskirk and Cofie.
Westlake slotted in at right-back with Williams dropping to left-back, whilst further forward it appeared that Blackman was playing in a wide midfield role to allow Miller to partner Porter. The first two opportunities - both inside seven minutes - fell to captain Doyle but his first was over after Stevenage could only half-clear a Flynn free-kick and the second was wide from 25-yards.
McDonald produced a couple of neat touches early on and he was involved on 14 minutes when Porter latched on to a Westlake cross but the striker was unable to get enough purchase on his header. Long was forced into a close-range save from Morais from a deep Hills cross but within minutes United's impressive start was rewarded with a goal - made by the captain and scored by the vice-captain!
With 19 minutes elapsed, a short corner on the left ended with Doyle whipping in a cross and both Porter and COLLINS were unmarked at the back post before the latter headed across goalkeeper Arnold, the ball nestling in the corner of the net.
Blackman delivered a couple of nice corners as United saw a lot of the ball in the opening half hour, however, the only other chance, for the home side, before the break was when Doyle won possession and Miller worked himself a shooting opportunity but Arnold pushed away.
Stevenage did, however, have one last first half chance and managed to level the scores. From a Morais corner on the left, ROBERTS was afforded the space to head past Long and Williams, who did his utmost to keep it out on the goal-line.
The second half kicked off with a deflected shot from Morais and the Blades having to defend another corner, but the home side were quickly back on the offensive - unfortunately, a header from the unmarked Porter was straight at the visiting goalkeeper.
Wilson's team, though, regained the lead on 55 minutes, with another well-worked effort. Blackman's deep cross was intelligently headed back into the danger area by Flynn and although Porter was injured as he attempted to connect, MILLER forced the ball home at the back post.
Blackman came close to extending the lead after beating his marker but Arnold fingertipped over, whilst the Stevenage goalkeeper's opposite number, Long, had to be alert to punch away a cross which was destined for Haber.
The Blades did put some daylight between the teams on 70 minutes with a third goal. Williams enabled Flynn to cross and from Porter's header, Roberts failed to clear and MILLER stabbed home his second from close range.
As the game entered the final ten minutes the goalmouth action slowed, not that the Blades fans were complaining, although a Maguire header from Westlake's cross was saved by Arnold.
The scoring was not over, though, and United crowned the performance with a fourth with three minutes of normal time remaining. Flynn delivered a left-wing cross and PORTER used all his height to direct a header into the Kop goal, despite the efforts of Arnold.
Late on Cresswell and Cofie replaced Porter and Miller, both of whom received a standing ovation, and the Unitedites went home happy and in good spirits ahead of another home game on Tuesday evening - it would have been even better had Maguire's injury-time 40-yard gone in, rather than hit the crossbar!
Blades: Long, Westlake, Maguire, Flynn, Doyle, Porter (Cresswell 89), Blackman, McDonald, Miller (Cofie 89), Collins, Williams.
Unused: McAllister, Philliskirk, Ironside, McFadzean, Coyne.
Stevenage: Arnold, Gray, Hills, Charles, Tansey (Freeman 61), Dunne (Grant 72), Haber (Agyemang 72), Morais, Akins, Roberts, Risser.
Unused: Day, Comminges, N'Gala, Shroot.

Meyer mansion is a great freehold development, which is basically the best option when it comes to buying a new home. Well, there are many benefits associated with choosing the option of Meyer Mansion. The chief benefit is that we don't need to take any kind of tension of necessary requirements. Here are some of the main advantages –
- There are many shopping malls present near the area, so we can easily visit such malls and get the desired items. These are basically renowned malls and also present many trendy clothes and accessories.
- There is also Meyer Mansion East Coast Park, which is the most attractive nearby place. If we are getting bored, then we can visit this park and do many activities. While we talk about cycling or sporting activities, we can easily do in the park.
- Various floor plans are available, and we can go with any option, which can fulfill the needs. There are one, two, three bedroom units present and for taking advantage of unblocking view, it is advised to go with the option of 6th floor or any above.
- We can also take the copy of floor plans for clearing each and every doubt. In case, you also have any problem, then request for getting the floor plan's copy, and the process is too easy, which can be followed by everyone with ease.
Moving further, some renowned schools are also located near the location of condo it means children will not deal with any kind of problem when they go to schools. They are only required to cover the stone throw distance. By this, the parents can also get free from the duty of dropping children. In fact, there is also a children playground where they can play some games.

A Growing Need for Training
Higher eduction provides critical thinking skills and general industry knowledge that helps employees adapt and master their environment. Some people may go decades without updating their skills. When this occurs employees fall behind the changes in industry trends and they become stale and their value suffers.
One way to avoid skill deficiencies is to invest more in corporate training. Higher education may provide general knowledge while training & develop offers specific information to that business or industry. Companies are likely to train employees more in an effort to ensure that they are competitive.
Consider a company that is trying to create greater efficiencies through the use of adapting and integrating new technology. Employees that are not capable of understanding this new technology will be increasingly disposable as the technology outstrips their capacity to adapt to it. Helping them adapt incrementally through training makes sense.
Intellectual capital is one of the most important assets any company can have. Without the knowledge needed to meet modern changes in technology and skill it is unlikely that higher value products and services will be produced. Companies that invest in training will create greater labor input value while those who don't will move more toward low value products.
