Jesus said to his disciples: "Things that cause people to stumble are bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come. " (Luke 17:1)
Selfishness reigns in our society. Men and women look out for themselves to the neglect and hurt of those around them. The Bible makes it very clear that in the last days men will be "lovers of themselves."
Let's take a look at 2 Timothy 3:1-2, "People will be self-centered lovers of themselves and obsessed with money. They will boast of great things as they strut around in their arrogant pride and mock all that is right. They will ignore their own families. They will be ungrateful and ungodly." Paul was not talking to those outside of the church. He was talking about those within. Many people in the church are wounded, bitter and hurt. In my own journey I have had to deal with a spirit of offense resulting from offenses I allowed to creep into my heart. Thanks be to God, He delivered me as I yielded myself to the truth found in His Word.
Jesus made it clear to the disciples that it is impossible to live in this world and not have the opportunity to become offended. Holding on to offense leaves us vulnerable to a root of bitterness. The issue of offense is often the most difficult obstacle an individual must face and overcome today. Offense can cause church splits, broken relationships, and nations to crumble. It's not a question of whether the opportunity will present itself for you to be offended, it's how will you respond when offense comes. Pride will hold many back from responding righteously when offended if not dealt with properly.
Often those who are offended do not realize they are trapped in offense. Just look around at what's happening in this nation. We are witnessing a of lot of people including some Christians who are offended and holding unforgiveness in their hearts. Many years ago I read the "Bait of Satan – Living Free from the Deadly Trap of Offense" by author John Bevere. This is really a good read! Although I have not arrived, this book truly helped me to learn to keep my heart in check and live free from offense.
Below are just a few quotes on offense from the book:
"If we don't risk being hurt, we cannot give unconditional love. Unconditional love gives others the right to hurt us."
"Trials in this life will expose what is in your heart—whether the offense is toward God or others. Tests either make you bitter toward God and your peers or stronger. If you pass the test, your roots will shoot down deeper, stabilizing you and your future. If you fail, you become offended, which can lead to defilement with bitterness."
"Offended people still may experience miracles, words of utterance, strong preaching, and healing in their lives. But these are gifts of the Spirit, not fruits. We will be judged according to fruit, not gifting. A gift is given. Fruit is cultivated."
The Bible tells us it is inevitable that offense will come, "Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!" (Luke 17:1KJV)
In the Gospel of Matthew verse 24, the disciples asked Jesus as He was departing for Heaven "What will be the signs of your coming and of the end of the world?" And Jesus answered: "And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." (Matt 24:10-13)
We are living in the time of the great falling away warned of in Hebrews 5. The author had much to say about this, but it was hard to make it clear because the people no longer tried to understand. It was difficult to explain because they were spiritually dull and didn't seem to listen. They were like babies who needed milk and could not eat solid food. They were still infants, and did not know how to do the right thing.
Solid food is for the believers who have matured by having their senses trained to recognize the difference between right and wrong. The Passion Translation says, "But solid food is for the mature, whose spiritual senses perceive heavenly matters. And they have been adequately trained by what they've experienced to emerge with understanding of the difference between what is truly excellent and what is evil and harmful." (Hebrews 5:14) Having your senses trained such that you have matured enough to discern when the spirit of offense is holding you back from God's best!
Father, in the name of Jesus, I ask that You will reveal, by Your Spirit, and Your Word any hidden areas of our hearts that have hindered us from knowing You and serving You more effectively. May we come to know You more intimately as a result of hearing your voice through this teaching.
Mercy, peace and love be your in abundance!

I am the systems admin for Tom's website. We are brothers. I work more out of a brotherly obligation rather than for the money. Tom's voice needs to be heard and he sweats out mountains of original content for public benefit. Against the small fraction of the content on the web is original, Tom's website stands out. His research and analysis make huge contributions in energy sectors the general public depend on but where industry expertise like Tom's is normally unavailable to the public for free.
I am a professional web systems admin with a background in large corporate data management infrastructures. My service is keeping my client's websites alive in the constantly changing and often hazardous internet ecosystem. It is one thing to design and build a website. It is another thing to maintain it. Tom's site is not simple to maintain. Not only is the content database huge, the site is subject to attacks. The worst such event — an apparently targeted DOS attack for which we captured the malicious code — was in February 2012. Another bad event occurred in April 2013. Security, file management, and site recovery have been huge challenges for us.
The website is runs on WordPress, an open source content management system. It is excellent software and has satisfied Tom's blogging needs. Akismet does a reasonable job of spam control. After a frustrating experience with ExpertHost, we moved the site to HostMonsters, which so far performs better. On the security side, we use a plugin called Bullet Proof Security from http://www.ait-pro.com/. It locks down the WordPress core files and database. It then quarantines all incoming files until they are reviewed and approved. This complication makes the site cumbersome to maintain but is a small price to pay for keeping the site alive and running. AIT-Pro's product is complex to use in our application but their customer support has proven to be exceptional, particularly during site emergencies. As a recent upgrade, some backups are now performed by BlogVault, http://blogvault.net/. The key feature of this plugin has been the Restore option. We have called upon this feature and we can now bring the website back from complete disaster in minutes. Another recent upgrade is that we are starting to leverage the wonderful array of resources from Amazon Web Services. Legacy data is being managed by Amazon's S3 and Glacier Web Services.
Our current technical development priorities, pending funding, include a better website layout to improve speed and archive presentation, improved user experience on multiple devices, and expanded multi-media presentation. We also need better tools for converting FOI requests and other document research to web-friendly, searchable formats. These conversions, mostly presented in the Gas Busters series, have been a huge unexpected effort and a significant expense for the site in the past. The solutions we came up were improvised as urgent public interest concerns arose. Better solutions are available.
I hope you continue to enjoy the website but please keep in mind that it runs a budget of pennies. If you notice that the site is sometimes slow to load or even down, please consider making a donation.
If I can help you with any web security, back-up services, cloud computing architecture, or related services, I'd be delighted to discuss your needs.

Americans are driving about 20 minutes more per week than they did just five years ago, according to a study from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety.
And when you add up all the time that American drivers collectively spend in their cars the number now comes out to about 70 billion hours a year.
In light of those numbers, Joshua Zuber with AAA Texas warns drivers that all that time on the road exposes them to more risk.
"So really it's a call to action for drivers to pay attention, stay alert, and really focus on driving," said Zuber. "Put down the phone and certainly don't drink and drive."
As for who's out on the road, the study found that men drive 19 percent more than women. Senior citizens are also driving more. Researchers say drivers aged 75 and older spend on average about 35 minutes a day behind the wheel.
To conduct the study, AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety collected information from about 12,000 drivers around the country
The study doesn't include numbers specific to Texas, but the U.S. Census Bureau says the average time it takes to get to work in Greater Houston is just under 30 minutes. That's compared to 37 minutes for some commuters in the New York City area.
This article has been updated to reflect the additional minutes driving are per week and not per day.

Halifax Community Bank: a learning society within a UK organisation
Eastman, Christine ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9156-8299 (2014) Halifax Community Bank: a learning society within a UK organisation. Higher Education, Skills and Work-based Learning, 4 (1) . pp. 84-97. ISSN 2042-3896 [Article] (doi:10.1108/HESWBL-09-2012-0035)

Purpose – Students investigated whether the commonly accepted net promoter score was an accurate way of measuring the quality of service, whether presenteeism was just as corrosive as absenteeism and what internal and external factors contributed to business success or failure. What the paper tried to foster from the outset was the concept of a learning society in order to gauge how students experienced the need to reinforce their arguments with theory. The paper aims to discuss these issues.
Design/methodology/approach – The author's interest focused on the link between business and academia, what constituted an academic presence in the workplace and whether or not this academic input helped students to become more effective members of their organisation. The author surveyed 30 students for this qualitative study.
Findings – Students welcomed clear direction and an opportunity to translate their experience into a problem-solving exercise. They realised they were in the business of developing themselves and strove to bring clarity to their life and work and to demystify their own texts.
Research limitations/implications – This is not a longitudinal study but a sample of questionnaire responses from 30 out of a possible 150 students. The "measurement" is broad, rather than precise.
Originality/value – By engaging in a partnership with Middlesex University, the Halifax Community Bank appeared to want to effect radical change in its organisational culture. To the students this was no vacuous public relations exercise but a commitment to getting staff/students to re-examine the contingencies of contemporary business and come up with solutions to a range of business problems.

Dwight Howard isn't returning to the Rockets' lineup anytime soon after missing the last 19 games, but there is good news about his progress. Kevin McHale says that Howard has resumed on-court activities and should be back before the end of the regular season.
From ESPN.com's Calvin Watkins:
Houston Rockets coach Kevin McHale said before Saturday night's 114-100 win over the Denver Nuggets that star center Dwight Howard has resumed mild on-court activities.
Howard hasn't played since Jan. 30 because of edema in his right knee.
"He is starting to do a combination of treadmill and floor stuff, which is a good sign," McHale said Saturday night. "They're going slow. They want to make sure that they have a handle on it."
In early February, Howard underwent a bone marrow aspirate injection and started rehab immediately. The team said Howard would be out four to six weeks and that Howard's status would be evaluated after four weeks.
McHale has said he is not sure when Howard will return but expects him before the end of the regular season.
The Rockets have been keeping pace with the rest of the crowded Western Conference with Howard out. They're 13-6 in the 19 games he's missed with this knee injury, and they're third in the West playoff standings with a 43-20 record. James Harden playing like the likely league MVP helps, but they've also gotten strong play recently from big men Donatas Motiejunas and Terrence Jones.
The West is so tough that it's hard to see the Rockets hanging in a seven-game series with the Spurs or the Clippers without Howard, but if he's back before the end of the regular season, they have a chance at making a deep playoff run.

Cost savings is determined by the metrics that are picked as part of the Corporate Wellness Analysis Program. Programs may differ from cost savings. I will guarantee cost savings that will triple the cost of the program or you will owe me nothing.
Standardized Metric
Decrease Turnover Rate
Turnover rate can be 1.5-2 times the cost of the employees current salary (builtin.com). The cost of turnover is dependent on a couple of influential factors that can either raise or lower the cost of rehire and retrain.
In the lowest degree the cost of turnover is equal to the hours of training per day x amount of days of training x cost of rehiring process.
Using this simple math we can use the following example: A employee makes an average of 10 dollars an hour. It takes 6 weeks to train the employee. To utilize the 3rd party hiring system is cost 375$. In the situation we take 10$ x 40 (hours a week) x 5 days a week x 6 weeks + 375$= 12.375$. This is the cost for only one employee turnover. The average turnover rate is about 12%-15%, according to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics. To find this percentage you can apply the concept (employees left/employees at the beginning of the year + employees at the end of the year x 100)
Decreased Sick Time
A recent survey published by Statistica showed on average of 5 days a year sick time taken for ages 18 t0 30. If we use 5 days as an average we can now calculate the cost of a company with 100 employees. The cost of sick time= cost of replacement. We do not need to factor in cost of paying someone to stay home as this was already factored into the cost of production. If we utilize the same employee as previously with a rate of 10$ an hour, the calculation would be cost of sick time= 10$ x 8 or 80$. If we say that 10% of the employees in a 100 person company will utilize 5 days, we can now establish a calculation. 80$ x (100 x 10%) x 5 = $4,000 dollars. This does not factor in the cost of insurance rising, lost of productivity, and a few other factors that would be difficult to quantify.
Decreased Injuries Linked to Fatigue
This is one of the hardest metric to track and therefore one of the best kept secrets of my Corporate Wellness Analysis Program. Injuries can be captured and placed in two different categories: employee error and equipment error. Employee error can be caused by a multitude of factors and only a trained professional can start to categorize each individual injury, establish a trend, and present the findings.
But Dr. Dan..there are more wellness problems than lack of sleep. Yes I know and all this and more is factored into Corporate Wellness Analysis Program.

Travel Photo Contest 2019: Greenland scene wins top prize
- Published
A photo of fishing village Upernavik on an island in west Greenland has won photographer Weimin Chu the grand prize in this year's National Geographic Travel Photo Contest.
The photographer had been visiting Greenland for several years before deciding to document community life in 2019, starting with Upernavik village.
Mr Chu recalls the moment he arrived: "I could only see a pure white land covered by ice and snow during my entire flight. But I suddenly saw a big, warm dot in [the] far distance—it was Upernavik.
"The beauty of this tranquil village was really beyond my imagination. It was a wow moment for me."
Upernavik has a population of around 1,000 people, the 13th largest village in the country. Mr Chu spent six days scouting the village for photo opportunities when he came across the scene above, featuring a family walking under the street lights.
"It felt so harmonious. The whole land was covered by white, cold snow, and the blue tint at dusk made it even cooler."
Mr Chu's photo was selected as the overall winner from the Cities category. Here are other winners, with descriptions by the photographers.
2nd Place Cities: In the age of aviation, by Jassen Todorov
"There are four runways at San Francisco's International Airport (SFO). I had dreams of documenting the motion at SFO and [arranged] permission to fly directly overhead.
"What a windy day it was. Winds at SFO were 35-45 miles per hour, which meant a bumpy flight, and it was much harder to control the plane while photographing." - Jassen Todorov
3rd Place Cities: Streets of Dhaka, by Sandipani Chattopadhyay
"People pray on the street in Dhaka, Bangladesh during Ijtema. Bishwa Ijtema is one of the major Islamic religious gatherings which is [observed] annually in Dhaka, and millions of Muslims visit [during this time].
"Dedicated prayer grounds are not [large] enough to handle this huge number of people, so large numbers of people come to [Tongi], the main street of Dhaka. All the ground transportation and [pedestrian crossings] are suspended during that time." - Sandipani Chattopadhyay
1st Place People: Showtime, by Huaifeng Li
"Actors prepare for an evening opera performance in Licheng County, China. I spent the whole day with these actors from make-up to [stage].
"In China's Loess Plateau, local residents dig holes in the loess layer [to create cave living spaces, known as yaodongs] and use the heat preservation properties to survive cold winters." - Huaifeng Li
2nd Place People: Daily Routine, by Yoshiki Fujiwara
"This photo was taken at a public park at Choi Hung House in Hong Kong. When I visited during the afternoon, it was very crowded with many young people taking pictures and playing basketball.
"But when I visited at sunrise, it was quiet and a different place. [The area] is [designated] for neighbourhood residents in the early morning, and there was a sacred atmosphere. I felt divinity when I saw an old man doing tai chi in the sun." - Yoshiki Fujiwara
3rd Place People: Horses, by Jose Antonio Zamora
"Every year on the feast of Saint Anthony the ceremony of the purification of animals, called Las Luminarias, is celebrated in Spain.
"In the province of Avila, horses and horsemen jump over bonfires in the ritual that has been maintained since the 18th century. The animals [are not hurt], and it is a ritual that is repeated every year." - Jose Antonio Zamora
People Honorable Mention: Mood, by Navin Vatsa
"I captured this layered moment during sunrise along the banks of the Yamuna River in Delhi, India.
"This boy was thinking silently, and visitors were enjoying the loud musical chirping of thousands of seagulls. The early morning golden light from the east mixed with the western blue light, creating an [ethereal atmosphere]." - Navin Vatsa
1st Place Nature: Tender Eyes, by Tamara Blazquez Haik
"A gorgeous griffon vulture is seen soaring the skies in Monfragüe National Park in Spain.
"How can anyone say vultures bring bad omens when looking at such tenderness in this griffon vulture's eyes? Vultures are important members of the environment, as they take care of recycling dead matter." - Tamara Blazquez Haik
2nd Place Nature: Dreamcatcher, by Danny Sepkowski
"What happens before a wave breaks? That question has been my assignment this past year. On this particular day, I decided to shoot the sunset on the east side of Oahu, Hawaii.
"I had to look into my viewfinder while this wave was breaking. Not an easy task when a wave is about to crush you." - Danny Sepkowski
3rd Place Nature: Dusky, by Scott Portelli
"Dusky dolphins often travel together in great numbers in the deep canyons of the Kaikoura, New Zealand in search of food.
"They glide through the ocean effortlessly, coming up only to breathe. Dusky dolphins are fast and will often keep pace with a speeding boat. I waited on the bow of the boat as the Dusky dolphin almost broke [through the surface]." - Scott Portelli
Nature Honorable Mention: King of the Alps, by Jonas Schafer
"Ibexes in Switzerland's Bernese Oberland cross a ridge above Lake Brienz. Their powerful and impressive horns show who the Kings of the Alps are.
"Ibexes are ideally adapted to live at dizzying heights. The continuing ridge path and the rising fog show the natural habitat of these animals." - Jonas Schafer

'A Touch of Froth' Bath Souffle (I really hope that this is a play on the programme 'A Touch of Frost' which is very dear to my heart!)
Scented with Lavender and fennel seed, made with Shea Butter and purifying sea salts to soften the skin. They were made in Sheffield local to My Chronicle HQ, it is cruelty free and suitable for vegans.
This is super cute as a souffle, I never seen one of those before. I also think it smells like the blackcurrant and liquorice sweets.
Partners in Crime Liquid Hand Soap by Lovely Skincare created exclusively for My Chronicle. Inspired by the writing partnership of Nicci and Sean, Caz has paired Pink Grapefruit with Neroli for the scent and given it a Partners in Crime theme,
"We lose ourselves in books, We find ourselves there too" A5 Print is created by HappyIfItRains. This image is from a larger scale screen print which has been hand printed in high quality on specialist archival card.

Chapter Sampler of Tidelands by Philippa Gregory
Personally I'm not a big fan of historical fiction, I've seen so many books by Philippa Gregory I just never seem to pick them up.

Not only decorative but this key is also very useful as a bottle opener!
Drum Roll Please…
Neve Connolly looks down at a murdered man.
She doesn't call the police.
'You know, it's funny,' Detective Inspector Hitching said. 'Whoever I see, they keep saying, talk to Neve Connolly, she'll know. She's the one people talk to, she's the one people confide in.'
A trusted colleague and friend. A mother. A wife. Neve Connolly is all these things.
She has also made mistakes; some small, some unconsciously done, some large, some deliberate. She is only human, after all.
But now one mistake is spiralling out of control and Neve is bringing those around her into immense danger.
She can't tell the truth. So how far is she prepared to go to protect those she loves?
And who does she really know? And who can she trust?
A liar. A cheat. A threat. Neve Connolly is all these things.
Could she be a murderer?
I'm so excited that our book is The Lying Room by Nicci French, this has been on my radar for a little while now so to have my own hardback first edition that's also signed makes me even more excited to dive in!

Rhetoric of American Autobiography and the Culture of Individualism
Instructor: Michael Mascuch
Date / Time: TuTh 930-11A, 109 DWINELLE
This Rhetoric course is intended to fulfill the American Cultures Breadth Requirement. Its basic purpose is to introduce students to American autobiography and American cultures by means of exploring how representations of personal experience by writers of diverse cultural groups respond to or are otherwise informed by the American rhetoric of individualism. We will begin with a general, critical discussion of "individualism" as an ideology and of "autobiography" as a literary genre that performs a specific rhetorical function for Americans, and then move on to explore the complex relationship between genre and ideology in American cultures through rhetorical analysis of particular autobiographies. We will examine a series of primary works drawn from three distinct American cultures: African Americans, European Americans, and Native Americans, to consider how these texts address the imperatives of ideology and genre.
Required readings:
Course reader of secondary texts.
Primary works:
1. Frederick Douglass, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
2. Richard Wright, Black Boy: A Record of Childhood and Youth
3. N. Scott Momaday, The Way to Rainy Mountain
4. Black Elk Speaks, Being the Life Story of a Holy Man of the Oglala Sioux,
5. Joan Didion, Where I Was From
6. Luc Sante, The Factory of Facts

2018 was a sunny Scott Snowdonia Trail day from 10k to 37 miles!
It was a beautiful day in the Welsh mountains as a sold-out field set off from Llanberis and ran into the Snowdonia mountainside.
Only at the top of Snowdon did the runners run into a few clouds and some foggy conditions but nothing to make them cold.
This year saw the debut of a 37 mile ultra run up the mountain and through the nearby countryside with a total 7257 feet of elevation. Rob Corney won the initial race in 5.56:05 after having run with second-place finisher Lyndon Cooper most of the way.
In the women´s ultra, Andrea Rowlands (handicap 4.5) placed fifth overall in a time of 6.47:26 hours.
Adam Holland (handicap -3.1) had an early lead in the marathon, but was eventually overtaken by Jack Oates (handicap 5.1) who went on to win in 3.37:53, and Jacek Cieluszecki (handicap -2.9) in second place.
Fern Cotterill had a commanding lead of over 20 minutes to second place with her 4.31:52.
The top of Snowdon was also the aim for the half marathon before they headed down towards Llanberis and the nearby mountain full of slate. Here Ben Livesey (handicap -3.2) ran 1.49:24, while Rhian Probert ran to a first place in 2.16:36.
The shortest race of the day, the 10 km, still had 1355 feet of elevation, and here Hanna Jones smashed the previous record by seven minutes with a time of 50:55, which earned her a fifth place overall. The men's race was won by John Kourpas in 48:58 minutes.
Provisional results are via our results page here.

A year ago we quoted a short excerpt from the blog of author Rick Thomas. Today we're doing the same, as this is taken from a much longer article written for pastors and leaders. I encourage you to read it at its source, in full. Just click the header which follows:
You Need More Than Preaching If You Want to Change
The Parable of the Sower (Mark 4, ESV)
1 Again he began to teach beside the sea. And a very large crowd gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat in it on the sea, and the whole crowd was beside the sea on the land. 2 And he was teaching them many things in parables, and in his teaching he said to them: 3 "Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow. 4 And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it. 5 Other seed fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil, and immediately it sprang up, since it had no depth of soil. 6 And when the sun rose, it was scorched, and since it had no root, it withered away. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no grain. 8 And other seeds fell into good soil and produced grain, growing up and increasing and yielding thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold." 9 And he said, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."
The Purpose of the Parables
10 And when he was alone, those around him with the twelve asked him about the parables. 11 And he said to them, "To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God, but for those outside everything is in parables, 12 so that
" 'they may indeed see but not perceive,
and may indeed hear but not understand,
lest they should turn and be forgiven.' "
13 And he said to them, "Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables?
Community Contexts
In verses 1-9 Jesus was teaching to a very large crowd from the "pulpit," so to speak. In verses 10-13 He begins to unpack the teaching lesson in a personal, customized, relevant, and practical way for His community.
The pulpit is a great place to exalt the Savior and expound the gospel, as well as call people to live lives of holiness. To be sure, God-ordained preaching for the proclamation of His Word. It is the foolishness of preaching that confounds the wise and empowers the faithful (1 Corinthians 1:18).
In addition to great preaching, you also find in Scripture that it is in the "living rooms of the community" where the truths preached from the pulpit are worked out in the contexts of lives.
You can exhort someone over and over again from the pulpit to serve, and it's possible he will understand, personalize, and apply that idea. But if you bring a towel and basin to his living room and wash your friend's feet, you can be assured he will never forget that one act of other-centered serving (see John 13:15; Matthew 26:13).
Helping others is where Jesus excelled. He contextualized His preached Word in the community of the believers. He did not let the preached Word stand alone. He modeled His message to drive home His points.
Practically Speaking
Rachel has heard wonderful preaching the past 16 years of her life. Nearly every Sunday, she has been encouraged, enlightened, and envisioned about how to be a woman for God.
Recently, a growing bitterness took root in her soul toward her church, her pastor, and some of her friends. The more she hears the wonderful truths from the Word declared from the pulpit, the more cynical and suspicious she becomes.
She's seeing the discontinuity between the preached Word on Sunday and her marriage and family during the week. The dots are not practically connecting for her.
Sadly, her cynicism and suspicion are directed toward God—though she would never say it that way. She hoped for a different life and believed it would come by "going to church," as she put it.
Her belief about the church is why she committed herself to God and the meetings of the church. She even took on a ministry in the church to help in whatever way she could. Her faith and practice were real. Rachel loves God.
But like a person asleep in a boat, only to awake hours later to find they drifted beyond the buoys, Rachel's marriage has seemingly slipped past the point of no return. All the while she is faithfully committed to her local church.
Rachel is not struggling with sound doctrine. She does not have a theological problem, as far as her understanding of the Bible. What she has is a methodological problem.
Building a knowledge base through learning and growing in theological understanding, is half the equation. Rachel is getting good information on Sunday morning. It is consistently biblical, easy to understand, and well-delivered.
Her problem is the other half of the solution she needs. Her church has not provided or trained her on how to take the good Word preached and work it out in the milieu (contexts) of her life. She needs a clear and practical application. The Sunday church meeting is not designed to fulfill that part of her solution.
Rachel is half-full: She knows the Word, but she has not been equipped to apply it practically in ways that matter to her life, marriage, and other relationships. If she continues this way, she'll be running on empty before long.
Rick then continues with ten action steps for local churches. See the closing section of the article which I am again, linking here.

Open House Lavender Mac and Cheese Recipe
Thanks for everyone who came out to see us at our open house last weekend! We enjoyed visiting with each guest. It was a great excuse to sample products (hot chocolate, chocolate, and teas). It was the first time I had used the Pelindaba Cookbook, so it was great to try the lavender shortbread cookies, brownies, and lemonade.
For those of you who I've known for many years, you know that Michael's Mac and Cheese is one of his specialties. For the open house, he made his famous cheddar version, but also made one using the culinary lavender we sell at rosieMADE.
Here's the recipe:
2 lb large elbow macaroni
10 tbsp butter
10 tbsp flour
2 tblsp granulated/minced onion
10 cups milk
1 lb shredded Gouda cheese
1 lb shredded Gruyere cheese
1 lb shredded Swiss cheese
1 tbsp dried lavender pulverized into a powder. Mortar and pestle or power spice grinder.
2 tsp garlic powder
4 tsp season all
Dash of white pepper
1. Turn on oven to 350 F
2. Bring water to a boil and cook noodles until al dente. About two minutes short of recommended time. Drain.
3. Melt butter in a 8 quart pot. Add onion and stir. Add flour and cook to a roux.
4. Cook the roux until the color of light peanut butter.
5. Add milk and seasonings. Stir and bring to slow boil. Add cheese.
6. Stir until cheese is mixed in well into the sauce. Should be thick and bubbly.
7. Add to noodles and stir.
8. Transfer to baking pans and bake for 25 minutes.
Makes two large 9″x13″ pans full.
The lavender chicken was also YUMMY!
Hopefully this will become an annual event so we can share great food with great people again!

The Cost Savings Calculator demonstrates the effect Regional Anesthesia can have on patient recovery and a facility's bottom line. The calculator focuses on the two most common post-op adverse events causing extended PACU stays or delayed discharge: PONV and Pain.56
With this tool, facilities can quantify the cost of avoidable events, calculate the associated profit erosion, and then discover how these hidden costs may be affecting them.
The first step is to identify the significance of these losses within a practice. Then, once documented, share the findings and create a team to focus on containing these costs.

State and local health officials are asking any Hampton Roads residents in Phase 1a, 1b and 1c to pre-register for a vaccine.
Larry Hill, a Virginia Department of Health spokesperson, said in an email Wednesday there are vaccines available, but officials need more people to pre-register so they can schedule appointments.
"Our lists are starting to run low on registrations," he said.
In the following days and weeks, he said, appointments will be available across Hampton Roads.
Chesapeake is the only health district to expand eligibility to those in Phase 1c. The health department announced Wednesday it will begin vaccinating that group.
The Virginia Beach Health District said in a tweet Tuesday residents in Phase 1c should start to pre-register.
Hill said most Hampton Roads health districts are close to expanding eligibility, but many people in 1a and 1b have not registered for a vaccine.
"Many have been waiting for different reasons. That includes some that wanted to wait so those that needed it more could get vaccinated first. We are now at a point where there are a lot of vaccination opportunities and a great time to take advantage of it," he said.
People can register for a vaccine using Virginia's statewide pre-registration system at vaccinate.virginia.gov or call 877-VAX-IN-VA.

The aesthetic treatment trends that will be big for 2020
Trends in treatments come and go, with scientific, medical and technological advancements enabling progress all the time. Whether non-invasive 'tweakments', or devices that deliver more, here, some of the UK's top aestheticians comment on the new treatment trends predicted by the BABTAC (British Association of Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology).
As the UK's leading beauty membership organisation, educator and insurance provider, the not-for-profit company has been working for more than 40 years to raise beauty industry standards, lobbying for change and reporting on trends and issues to ensure the ongoing wellbeing of its professionals and consumers. For 2020, they say to expect (or demand) the below:
1.Natural results
Natural looking 'tweakments' might sound like a contradiction, but that's what more and more of us are looking for – it's about enhancement, not alteration. Advanced laser and skin expert Debbie Thomas says that, when it comes to skin rejuvenation, the natural look can be achieved via lasers rather than wrinkle-reducing injections (like Botox). "They keep the skin in great condition, boost everything from collagen to brightness while tackling visible imperfections like pigmentation, red veins and inflamed skin. They don't have any of the recovery time they used to either so while it may be a less obvious approach, it will ensure more balanced and healthy looking skin."
Dr Tracy Mountford, medical director of The Cosmetic Skin Clinic says that the new trend is for 'collagen banking'. "Awareness is increasing regarding the benefits of collagen regenerating treatments such as Ultherapy (a non-surgical treatment for lifting and tightening the skin), particularly amongst consumers aged 29-45 years who account for 70 per cent of all Ultherapy patients. This skin savvy audience has recognised the benefits of investing in their 'collagen bank' for better skin in the longer term, and are using it as a preventative method. This non-invasive treatment enables the skin to naturally lift and tighten, so patients can achieve a more defined jawline or natural looking brow lift. I predict it will be a growing trend in 2020".
2.Combination treatments
Why have one treatment when you can have two or three at once? "I launched two new treatments this year that included various modalities for the best results and I aim to do the same next year," reports cosmetic doctor Dr Sophie Shotter. "They are popular with my patients as they surpass expectations, which is what I like to do every time. Facials with radiofrequency and microneedling with lasers, or for a more low-key option, hydrafacials and rejuvenation treatments; by taking a mix-and-match approach it means practitioners don't always have to take the most invasive route."
3.Super spa-ing
The days when spas were just somewhere to have a touchy-feely facial and pad about in fluffy slippers are long gone, and spas are increasingly introducing aesthetic treatments onto their menus. "I truly believe that wellness is about feeling good on the inside and outside, so if a more aesthetic treatment can give you the confidence to tackle the world, then bring it on," says Sara Young, founder of the Aesthetics Collective, which offers aesthetics services in a spa environment and works with the likes of The Grove, Pennyhill Park and South Lodge. "It's a concept much more in line with the EU and US spa markets where you can spa in the morning and then have a chemical peel in the afternoon."
4.Better body tweakments
Body treatments are having a makeover. Advanced aesthetic doctor Dr Preema Vig has just launched The Body Clinic, incorporating treatments CoolSculpting (the leading non-invasive fat-reduction treatment); EMSculpt (a body-contouring treatment that helps build muscle); Venus Legacy (a body-contouring technology that tones and tightens); Intraceuticals Oxygen Body (a skin treatment that administers serums in conjunction with oxygen); and EndyMed (a skin-rejuvenation treatment combining microneedling and focused radiofrequency). Similarly, The Light Salon has recently added targeted body treatments on its menu, and Baldan has just launched Le Shape – a laser treatment for non-surgical liposuction. "I think this trend for toning muscle in-clinic to complement fat reduction will continue into 2020, as with the launch of EmSculpt this year," continues Dr Shotter. "We will see the new CoolTone hit the clinics and the makers of the well-known fat freezing treatment, CoolSculpting, are launching a muscle-conditioning platform in 2020. This will complement CoolSculpting by providing muscle hypertrophy once the fat bulk has been reduced with CoolSculpting."
5.Clinical treatments for all skin tones
In the beauty industry, skincare, make-up and haircare has belatedly started to embrace all skin types and skin tones, and so too are clinical treatments like chemical peels, collagen induction therapy and laser. Naturally, this does put an onus on clinics and therapists to ensure they are fully trained in treating and managing all skin tones and understanding cultural nuances. "We predict that the clinics who invest in this training will see positive uplifts in their client base," says lead aesthetician and founder of Black Skin Directory, Dija Auodele.
She also highlights how rejuvenation treatments that use energy-based devices – such as Byonik and Alift – will rise in popularity thanks to the fact they don't use heat which makes it suitable for darker skin tones. Finally, with the entire industry calling for inclusivity, the Black Skin Directory believes that 2020 will see brands and developers ensuring clinical trials, imagery and advertising that's more reflective of our diverse society.
6.Devices that deliver
Devices are continually evolving and new brands and companies are eager to enter the market, one of which is Pureskin, founded by aesthetician Jayne Mitchell. Pureskin recently developed RESHAPE, a combination technology that uses radiofrequency, vacuum, soft laser and LED; with four technologies administered via one single applicator, it can treat clients from head-to-toe. Six other tools have followed, and the range now incorporates EpiLase, a laser hair-removal solution; Quantum, with seven varying LED modes for face and body; and Vegas QS, a Q-switched laser device that generates powerful laser radiation in very short emission times.
Mobile therapists won't miss out on innovations either, and fresh from the OXYjet facial rejuvenation system is the hand held, OXYjet GO. Based on the advanced in-clinic device, it delivers microencapsulated oxygen deep into the skin's dermis along with concentrated active ingredients. Using a pulsing pressure method that's been tested to ensure the ingredients fill the intercellular spaces in the epidermis (which appear as the skin ages), the oxygen boost improves skin cell regeneration and re-energises the skin, leaving it hydrated and lifted in appearance with zero downtime.

The Panic of 1826 went for six years.
In 1857, a single major company went out of business and dragged the entire US economy down.
In 1873, Jay Cooke & Company, the largest US bank at the time failed triggering a recession that lasted six years.
The next serious crash was the panic of 1907, causing massive job losses and many business failures.
In 1918, hyperinflation in Europe and the end of US wartime production caused a brief but severe downturn in the American economy.
The Great Depression imploded in 1929 with the collapse of the stock market and the American banking system and wouldn't end until the beginning of World War II.
In 1973, the price of gas at the pump soared leading to long lines to fill gas tanks.
Then the Dot–Com Bubble burst in combination with 9/11/2001.
When the sub-prime mortgage bubble exploded in the U.S. in 2008, about 80,000 private owned businesses in China went out of business and 15 to 20 million workers lost jobs – much bigger numbers than the U.S. suffered.
However, within a few weeks, those who had lost their jobs in China were back at work or had returned to rural China to the collective farm.
Why should China cave in to pressure from America and Europe and turn its economy into another Wild West show?

Covid-19 hospitalizations in the United States have been growing for more than a month, and at the current pace – more than 2,500 patients added each day over the past week, according to data from the US Department of Health and Human Services – the US will surpass January's record high in about a month.
Florida and Louisiana are now reporting a record number of Covid-19 hospital admissions, and other states are close. In Mississippi and Arkansas, daily admissions are at more than 87% of their earlier peak, and in Oregon, Alabama and Washington, daily admissions are at more than 75% of their peak.
But patients hospitalized with Covid-19 this summer tend to be younger than in earlier surges. And with vaccines widely available, they're mostly preventable, too.
Mercy Hospital in Joplin, Missouri, has surpassed its record number of Covid-19 patients more than once in the past two weeks, according to hospital president Jeremy Drinkwitz.
Things are very different from last time, he says.
"As far as the very distinct differences – the age of patients for us," Drinkwitz told CNN. The hospital recently had three patients between 30 and 40, multiple patients in their 40s and some in their 50s and 60s on ventilators, he said.
"In November, when we had our first big spike, we didn't," Drinkwitz said. "We didn't have that younger population; it was more of the elderly population."
Now, he said, there are fewer elderly patients. "We're just not seeing that many. We have a few, but it's not anywhere close to the younger population," Drinkwitz said.
Seniors still have the highest per capita rate of hospitalizations, but the gap is smaller than it's been.
The recent hospitalization rate among seniors age 70 and older is about a quarter of what it was in January, according to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But hospitalization rates among younger adults are about as high as they were in January.
In fact, the hospitalization rate among adults age 30 to 39 is the highest it's ever been, CDC data shows.
Children also account for a larger share of hospitalizations now than they did in January, as hospitalization rates among those under the age of 18 hover right around the record high.
In a few states – including Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina and Louisiana – the number of children hospitalized with Covid-19 more than doubled over the past week, federal data shows.
But with every 12 and older eligible to be vaccinated against Covid-19, experts have different concerns about this new wave of hospitalizations.
Early in the pandemic, there weren't enough tools to care for patients and doctors didn't know if what they were doing for their patients was the right thing, Dr. O'Neil Pyke, chief medical officer of Jackson North Medical Center, Jackson Health System in Florida, told CNN. As a critical care and internal medicine doctor, he cared for patients himself during the early stages of the pandemic, from March to October of last year.
"Now, my biggest concern is that we have a very, very good tool, right, we have the vaccine, and the vaccine has been proven now to be remarkably efficacious as it pertains to preventing severe illness and death," he said. "It doesn't necessarily prevent getting the virus, but it certainly does prevent severe illness requiring hospitalization and death. And the concern is that the community still has that hesitancy."
While Pyke said he understands this hesitancy to a degree, the best way to look at it is as though the vaccine is a dam.
"We have this deluge of flooding going on, and what we're doing in terms of trying with the medicines that we're trying over the months is basically scooping out cups of water from this flood," he said. "But the vaccine is like a dam, and the vaccine can do so much more in preventing the flooding that we're seeing right now. And that's the very essence of it."
Florida has the highest hospitalization rate in the country, according to the latest data from HHS. More than 65 people are hospitalized with Covid-19 for every 100,000 people in Florida, about one out of every 1,500 state residents. That's more than triple the national rate.
Every state with a higher than average hospitalization rate has a lower than average vaccination rate, including Florida, according to a CNN analysis of data from the CDC and HHS.
And it's taking a toll on a health care system that has been operating at full strength for a year and a half, Pyke says.
"We thought we turned the corner a bit on this, and here we are going back up," he said. "Obviously whatever we are feeling pales in comparison to what patients are feeling and their families, but it's overwhelming to the staff to be caring for patients with the same disease we thought we just, we might be seeing the end of."
In Arkansas, the Covid-19 hospitalization rate is more than double the national rate and the fifth highest in the country. Hospitalization rates among children are higher than they've ever been in the state. But so, too, are hospitalization rates among young adults under 30, who have been eligible to be vaccinated for months.
Dr. Stephen Mette, CEO of UAMS Health in Arkansas, said that low vaccination rate is the "first and foremost" contributing factor to the latest increase in hospitalizations.
Like Mercy Hospital in Joplin, UAMS has recently surpassed its record high number of hospitalizations in the pandemic. The majority of patients hospitalized with Covid at UAMS are either not vaccinated at all or not fully vaccinated, Mette said. And vaccinated patients have, so far, had a significant underlying medical condition.
"We knew we would have another wave, but we were maybe lulled into that false sense of security that we would have a large enough number of Americans, or Arkansans, vaccinated so that we would not have a very high wave," Mette said. "So, we were prepared, but not for this degree of the manifestation of this wave."
Other major contributing factors, Mette said, include different characteristics of the Delta variant, the relaxation of public health measures and the public's general pandemic fatigue.

Vaccination rates in the US have ticked up over recent weeks, a trend that experts say needs to continue to curb the current surge of Covid-19 cases and hospitalizations.
"We love our community, we love our neighbors and our friends here and our community, and we're here to serve them, and because of that we're fighting like hell to save their lives. Thirty year olds and 40 year olds should have a chance to live a full life and so we're trying to do everything we can to help them after they have gotten this virus," Drinkwitz said.
But the medical professionals need the help of the community.
"I'm asking people actually to open their eyes and realize what's happening. That there are hospitals and healthcare is being challenged, there's capacity issues in communities, and that we have to do something," Drinkwitz said. "We need help on the other side. We need people to be vaccinated. And if they just can't get their minds wrapped around that, then please wear a mask, social distance, those things we know to do."

I actually sold two paintings at the coffee shop this morning.. I'm very excited about it. Now I can get more art supplies!!
Just the other day, I went to Utrecht to get turquoise watercolor specifically. It's a series 4, which makes it the most expensive, but I don't really care because I have a really hard time mixing professional watercolors and achieving any kind of consistent hue. I may just be me. Here is my first sketch using the new color. http://www.flickr.com/photos/interstitial/3999886256/
I sold two abstract watercolors today! Woohoo! Thanks Ben! Maybe I'll do a few drawings tomorrow…. Caribou! Here I come!

Durbin, Duckworth Call On President Trump To Swiftly Nominate Head Of Consumer Watchdog Who Will Put Main Street Ahead Of Wall Street
WASHINGTON—U.S. Senators Dick Durbin (D-IL) ) and Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) sent a letter to President Donald Trump calling on him to follow the law and swiftly nominate a permanent director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) who will put working families ahead of Wall Street.
In their letter, the Senators cited the CFPB's "aggressive enforcement and supervision," which has resulted in $12 billion in relief to 29 million American consumers who were cheated by financial companies.
The Senators also expressed serious concerns with the White House installing Budget Director Mick Mulvaney as part-time acting director on November 24th , despite clear language in the Dodd-Frank law stating that the Deputy Director, Leandra English, 'shall' run the agency in the 'absence or unavailability' of the director. Mulvaney has a clear record opposing the CFPB and has sought to abolish it.
"Assigning leadership of the CFPB to someone who already has a full-time job reporting to the White House and who does not believe in the CFPB's mission jeopardizes the agency's independence and effectiveness," wrote the senators. "We urge you to nominate a CFPB Director who will bring to the job both bipartisan support and a track record of being tough on Wall Street. Following the Dodd-Frank succession provision and nominating a Director who will fight for consumers allows the CFPB to continue its work without political interference."
The letter was also signed by Senators Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Gary Peters (D-MI), Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Patty Murray (D-WA), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Ed Markey (D-MA), Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Tom Udall (D-NM), Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Mark Warner (D-VA), Jack Reed (D-RI), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Cory Booker (D-NJ), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Al Franken (D-MN), Michael Bennet (D-CO), Martin Heinrich (D-NM), Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Jon Tester (D-MT), Maggie Hassan (D-NH), Chris Murphy (D-CT), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Bob Casey (D-PA), Maria Cantwell (D-WA), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Kirsten Gillibrand (-NY), Tim Kaine (D-VA), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Chris Coons (D-DE), Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Tom Carper (D-DE), Ben Cardin (D-MD), Joe Donnelly (D-IN), Ron Wyden (D-OR), Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Kamala Harris (D-CA), and Bill Nelson (D-FL).
The full text of the letter is below and available here.
December 4, 2017
The Honorable Donald J. Trump
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear President Trump,
After the 2008 financial crisis wiped out trillions of dollars of wealth and the jobs of millions of Americans, Congress passed important financial reforms and created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), an independent watchdog to protect people from financial scams.[1]
Through aggressive enforcement and supervision, CFPB actions have resulted in $12 billion in relief for more than 29 million American consumers who were cheated by financial companies.[2] The CFPB has taken almost 200 enforcement actions: against mortgage schemes that rip off struggling borrowers, against predatory financial firms that set up shop next to military bases to target servicemembers, against scam for-profit schools that take advantage of veterans' benefits, and against companies that train their employees to trap consumers in debt.[3]
These are the enforcement results that the National Fraternal Order of Police and a bipartisan group of state attorneys general expected when they endorsed Rich Cordray's nomination and said he would be "an effective partner in combating fraud and other illegal schemes[.]"[4]
His nomination passed the Senate with 66 votes, including 12 Republicans.[5]
In a 2016 campaign speech, you said "…[T]his election is a choice between taking our government back from the special interests, or surrendering our last scrap of independence to their total and complete control."[6] Polling shows that the vast majority of Americans agree that the CFPB has been doing great work holding special interests accountable. 74% of Americans -- Republicans and Democrats -- approve of the CFPB's mission and 55% of Republicans who voted for you believe that the CFPB should be left alone to do its work or even be given expanded authority to do more.[7]
Assigning leadership of the CFPB to someone who already has a full-time job reporting to the White House and who does not believe in the CFPB's mission jeopardizes the agency's independence and effectiveness. We urge you to nominate a CFPB Director who will bring to the job both bipartisan support and a track record of being tough on big banks and other financial firms that rip off consumers. Following the Dodd-Frank succession provision and nominating a Director who will fight for consumers allows the CFPB to continue its work without political interference.
Please stand up for American military servicemembers and veterans, students, seniors and workers.
