Grant Money Or Donation To Help Kidney And Liver Diseased Army Veteran
by Paul Clay
(Siegen, Nordrhrien Westfällen, Germany)
My name is Paul H. Clay and I am a 52-year-old American living in Germany. I first came here in 1979 when I was 19 years old and with the U. S. Army.
I completed my three years of required service and received an Honorable Separation.
After my separation from the Army I returned to Germany to find a job and to live here.
I met my wife in 1985, got married in 1988 and had two children. Life was never better.
In 2006, the life I had been living and enjoying came to an end. My 18 years of marriage to my wife came to an end.
Disability Issues
I have a liver and kidney disease. I have been on dialysis three times a week now for over six years.
In addition, I have the Hepatitis-C virus from a stabbing accident when I was in the U. S. Army. (1981)
I can no longer work full-time because of my sickness. I receive no benefits and no help for the cost of living.
I am trying to live off the 875€ (Euros) a month I make working. My medical is taken care of with my employment.
Financial Hardship
My problem and the reason I am writing is that I cannot pay back the 15,000€ I owe the banks here.
It's killing me to make payments with the amount of money I make working. I can only work 15 to 20 hour a week because I have to go on dialysis
To make things even worse, my car is broken down and I need it to get to work and to my dialysis. I don't have the 1500-2000€ needed to fix it.
Every month I fall deeper and deeper in a hole and there is no way out. I have tried everything I can think of.
Income Efforts
I have no one else in my family in America or friends here in Germany that can help me.
I have tried talking to the banks, but they just want their money back and they don't care if I die trying to pay them back.
I know you get all kinds of letters from people wanting money and a lot of them are scams. I am truly being honest with my story.
If anyone decides to help me I can and will send bank statements, Medical records, Army records, anything and everything to show that I really need some help and that I am not trying to scam you.
Specific Needs
I am wishing that I could find someone with a caring heart that can help me out financially.
I will never be able to pay this money back because I cannot work full-time or anything to make enough money to pay these banks off.
I just need a blessing from one of God's Angels to help me get back some of my life without the stress of not having enough money to live day to day.
If you can find it in your heart to help me I will be very thankful.
Thank you and God Bless!

U.S. President Barack Obama and Chinese President Hu Jintao have
pledged to work together on climate change, nuclear disarmament and
other global issues.
Their summit in Beijing Tuesday produced no major breakthroughs beyond expressions of goodwill.
Mr. Obama did take the opportunity to address human rights and pressed Beijing to let its currency rise in value.
In particular, he spoke about Tibet, urging China to hold talks with representatives of exiled spiritual leader the Dalai Lama as soon as possible.
Mr. Hu said that given the countries' differences in "national conditions," it is normal they may disagree on some issues. But he said it is important to respect and accommodate each other's core interests and major concerns.
He spoke positively of the progress the China-U.S. relationship has made since the Obama administration took office.
Neither man gave specifics, and they did not take any questions from reporters.

By now most marketers know how beneficial Pinterest can be to their social media marketing efforts. This also means that most marketers have realized how difficult it is to maintain an innovative and active Pinterest page. A recent study from Millward Brown found that most Pinners have bought something because of Pinterest. As the network continues to grow and become increasingly brand-friendly, it's important to make sure your Pinterest page and strategy are up to par.
1. What's Working?
If you have been on Pinterest for a while, you may start to see patterns that indicate which types of content are working for your brand and which are not. Investing time and resources into content that isn't being seen or shared can be a costly mistake. While you are assessing the quality and performance of your content, also be sure to consider the next question…
2. Are You Using Analytics?
Though Pinterest Analytics are still far from the likes of Facebook, they are becoming increasingly more useful and user-friendly. When assessing your content, analytics will tell you not only how many re-pins, likes, and comments a post received, but also how many clicks — determine which of these metrics are the most important to your business (though often times on Pinterest, these go hand in hand) and take a good hard look at your results.
Before asking yourself the third question, it's important to determine whether Pinterest is the right network for your brand. If you find that users are not engaging with your content, your follower count is not growing, and you don't have the resources to invest, it may be best to focus on your other marketing efforts for the time being.
3. Do You Have an Advertising Strategy?
Pinterest is working hard to build up advertising revenue which has resulted in new ad formats and improved targeting options. Once you have established a relatively successful Pinterest presence, advertising may be the next step in your strategy. As Pinterest stated in their blog, the path of Promoted Pins is simple: Awareness > Intent > Action. Start by doing some research on Promoted Pins to determine which offering is best for you and which fits into your budget or defer to one of Pinterest's recently announced Marketing Developer Partners (MDP).
As Pinterest continues to grow, it is imperative that brands continue to improve their standards and update their strategies to match. Make sure your brand's content is seen and shared in the feed, not buried by it.

Egypt plane crash 'caused by mechanical impact mid-air' - top official
A top official at Metrojet, the Russian airline company whose flight crashed Saturday in Egypt, has insisted that a technical fault could not have caused the crash.
Alexander Smirnov, the deputy general director of Metrojet, said that no technical fault could have caused the Airbus A320-200 to break up in the air.
He says the cause of the crash "could only have been a mechanical impact on the plane" in the air.
Meanwhile, the Kremlin said that they were not ruling any theory out in the crash.
Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that there were "not yet any grounds to rule out any theory for the crash", replying to a question about whether a terrorist attack could be to blame.
Russian investigators say the plane broke up at high altitude but have so far refrained from naming possible causes.
The Metrojet crashed on Saturday morning 23 minutes after taking off from Sharm el-Sheikh, killing all 224 on board, the vast majority of them Russians.
The announcement comes as Egypt and Russia last night appeared to back away from their assertions that a Russian passenger jet crashed in the Sinai desert because of a technical fault, as it was revealed that the plane broke up in the air.
Officials have now conceded the aircraft could had been brought down by a bomb on board.
Just hours after the Airbus A321 crashed on Saturday, both governments were quick to say the doomed airliner appeared to be the victim of mechanical failure.
But by yesterday evening Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, Egypt's president, was speaking more cautiously, saying it was too soon tell the cause and that an "extensive and complicated technical study" was needed.
Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) has claimed responsibility for destroying the aircraft, saying that it was revenge for Russia's intervention in Syria on behalf the Assad regime.
A team of Irish aviation experts is to fly out to the 20sq km crash site to help establish what happened. The Air Accident Investigation Unit (AAIU) of the Department of Transport will send a team to Cairo today to assist in the investigation.
It will be made up of an operations/pilot inspector and an engineering inspector from the AAIU and a regulatory/operations adviser from the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA). It has emerged that the plane had passed a safety review carried out by the IAA earlier this year.
The team will fly out from Baldonnel using military transport provided by the Department of Defence and the Irish Air Corps.
Viktor Sorochenko, a Russian aviation official who inspected the crash site, said the Kogalymavia-operated flight "broke up in the air" as he explained why the debris was spread over eight square miles (20sq km).
"Disintegration of the fuselage took place in the air and the fragments are scattered around a large area," he said.
Investigators have reportedly begun examining both of the aircraft's black boxes in the hope of learning precisely what happened in the aircraft's final moments.
A grainy mobile phone video circulated online purports to shows the moment the airliner exploded before hurtling down to earth, but its origins are unclear and it could not be verified as authentic.
However, it appeared to chime with accounts from eyewitnesses who said the plane fell flaming from the sky.
Yves Trotignon, a former French intelligence agent, noted that Isil's claim of responsibility was vague in detail.
"The statement does not say that they shot it down, but that they destroyed it," he told 'Le Parisien', adding: "You could imagine explosives on board, or sabotage."
Terrorism experts said Isil has never claimed an attack it did not carry out.
Mathieu Guidere, professor of Islamic studies at the University of Toulouse, said Isil "is very well established in the Sinai, has infiltrated almost all organisations and infrastructure, so it is quite possible that a fighter sabotaged the plane at the airport before it took off or placed a device on board."

Nice hotel for overnight stay
I was stranded at the airport last year due to bad weather. most hotels were full so we called the Best Western. They only had the honeymoon suite available and it was too much for the budget. I said thanks and just before i hung up they said that they could give it to me at the same rate as a reg room! This was great, we didnt have the budget but they gave us a room for what we could afford! I really appreciated the experience! They were kind and took our bags up and even recommended some places that we could eat for cheap! Thanks again guys, if you are in town and looking for a great place to stay check these guys out!

Fuji Xerox Printers launches Premier Partner Program
The Premier Partner Program gives dedicated Fuji Xerox Printers' channel partners access to customised marketing, sales and lead generation programs which will help support the growth of their businesses. The program has four core areas including tailored programs, a range of targeted incentives, sales and marketing support services and communication tools.
"Research suggests that key value segments in the print and multifunction print market will experience growth between 20 to 120 per cent over the coming year. This represents a great opportunity for our channel partners to grow their businesses and we are here to support them", said David Borg, General Manager of Fuji Xerox Printers Australia and New Zealand.
"The Premier Partner Program represents a significant investment in our partners and we are 100 per cent committed to supporting their growth. We understand the unique pressures they face and the real drivers of success. That's why every element of our program has been designed with their individual needs in mind."
Tailored programs
The Premier Partner Program incorporates three specialist programs – the Channel Value Program, ProColour Specialist Program and PagePack Managed Print Program. Channel partners with a dedicated focus on the value market can benefit from the resources and support of the Channel Value Program. Those who have an understanding of the wide format, colour and graphics segment will have access to the ProColour Specialist Program through which they will be offered training and accreditation opportunities. Premier Partner Program participants can also join Fuji Xerox Printer's exclusive Managed Print Services (MPS) program, PagePack. Through PagePack partners can offer their customers a tailored cost per page program that includes all consumables, maintenance and hardware. Partners on the PagePack program receive authorised PagePack training which assists them in responding to the increasingly sophisticated customer.
Sales and marketing support
According to Borg, partners had highlighted sales and marketing as areas in which they required more support and the Premier Partner Program addresses this feedback. "Sales and marketing are essential business functions and partners now have access to a range of useful resources to assist them in developing their business."
These resources include marketing development funds, creative support and even access to demonstration models which make it easier for channel partners to showcase new products to prospective customers. Sales and marketing training is also provided to all Premier Partner Program participants to assist with business and campaign development.
Premier Partners have access to the Fuji Xerox SMARTCentre online portal through which they have a range of sales and marketing tools at their fingertips and can develop personalised marketing campaigns and collateral. This is further supported by Fuji Xerox Connect, a complete managed marketing and lead generation service which helps identify new prospects and build sustainable new business pipelines. Through the program Premier Partners can benefit from marketing support, marketing database management, assistance with campaign development and execution as well as following up leads through email marketing, telemarketing, electronic direct mail, reporting and whitepapers.
The Premier Partner Program also includes a range of targeted incentives. Through Kansha Rewards channel partners can earn points for every Fuji Xerox hardware product sold and are rewarded with a gift of their choice from the Kansha Rewards website. The Premier Partner League is a recognition program for the highest achieving Premier Partners across Asia Pacific and China with the top achievers receiving a trip to London for the 2013 FA Cup Final.
Fuji Xerox Printers has developed a range of communication tools to further support its channel partners including the Fuji Xerox Printers Channel Partner Forum on LinkedIn, a dedicated blog and regular e-newsletters.
"Regardless of what industry you're in, effective communication is essential. We have a range of tools and newsletters which keep our partners up to date on industry, business and product news. We also use social media tools, such as our blog and LinkedIn group, to not only encourage discussion among our partners but also to help them develop pipelines and market their companies to potential customers," he said.
For Premier Partners looking to leverage the benefits offered by public relations, Fuji Xerox Printers will also offer a DIY PR toolkit which will assist resellers in developing their own case studies or publicising their business in the media.

Mum's horror after biting into Tesco spring roll and finding metal bolt inside
A MUM risked losing a tooth after biting into a Tesco Chinese takeaway and finding a metal bolt in her spring roll.
Nurse Maria Mizzi, 57, was tucking into a couple of Tesco vegetable spring rolls when she felt something heavy behind her teeth.
She was appalled when she spat out the object and discovered a 2cm long metal bolt - complete with silver circular washer.
Disgusted Maria, from Sturminster Newton, Dorset, said bosses at Tesco are investigating the incident, and awarded her £30 compensation and flowers.
Maria said: "I felt this clunk in my mouth and initially I thought it was a bit of filling. I spat it out. I was shocked. I couldn't believe it had come out of a spring roll.
"No matter how long I kept looking at it, I couldn't believe it had been in my food.
"I just started at it and couldn't believe it.
"If I had bitten into it I would have done some real damage to my teeth, and if I had been a child and swallowed it, there is no doubt that I would have been quite poorly."
"I felt this clunk in my mouth and initially I thought it was a bit of filling. I spat it out. I was shocked."Nurse Maria Mizzi
Maria bought the four-pack of vegetable spring rolls from the Tesco in Blandford Forum, Dorset, for £2.
She warmed them up before tucking into two, with her son Keiran, 25, taking the other two.
Maria almost swallowed the 2cm long bolt, which had a little picture of a bird on the top.
"It was lucky that I felt it in my mouth first, and was able to spit it out," she said "I'm surprised I didn't see it because it was so large, but it was tucked in the end.
She took them back to the store, where she said staff were "very, very good" and awarded her a refund, plus 30 and a bunch of flowers.
A spokesperson for Tesco said: "We take the safety of our food extremely seriously and were very concerned to hear of this incident.
"We've apologised to Ms Mizzi and will update her on the findings of our investigation."

The first book of the Kings commonly called, the third book of the Kings, chapter 18, Vulgate and King James Version
1 Post dies multos factum est verbum Domini ad Eliam in anno tertio dicens: "Vade et ostende te Achab, ut dem pluviam super faciem terrae".
2 Ivit ergo Elias, ut ostenderet se Achab. Erat autem fames vehemens in Samaria.
3 Vocavitque Achab Abdiam dispensatorem domus suae. Abdias autem timebat Dominum valde;
4 nam, cum interficeret Iezabel prophetas Domini, tulit ille centum prophetas et abscondit eos quinquagenos et quinquagenos in speluncis et pavit eos pane et aqua.
5 Dixit ergo Achab ad Abdiam: "Vade in terra ad universos fontes aquarum et in cunctas valles, si forte invenire possimus herbam, ut salvemus equos et mulos et nullum de iumentis interficere debeamus".
6 Diviseruntque sibi regiones, ut circuirent eas: Achab ibat per viam unam, et Abdias per viam alteram seorsum.
7 Cumque esset Abdias in via, Elias occurrit ei; qui cum cognovisset eum, cecidit super faciem suam et ait: "Num tu es, domine mi, Elias?".
8 Cui ille respondit: "Ego. Vade, dic domino tuo: "Adest Elias" ".
9 Et ille: "Quid peccavi, inquit, quoniam trades me servum tuum in manu Achab, ut interficiat me?
10 Vivit Dominus Deus tuus, non est gens aut regnum, quo non miserit dominus meus te requirens et, respondentibus cunctis: "Non est hic", adiuravit regna singula et gentes, eo quod minime reperireris.
11 Et nunc dicis mihi: "Vade et dic domino tuo: Adest Elias".
12 Cumque recessero a te, spiritus Domini asportabit te in locum, quem ego ignoro; et ingressus nuntiabo Achab, et non inveniet te et interficiet me. Servus autem tuus timet Dominum ab infantia sua.
13 Numquid non indicatum est domino meo quid fecerim, cum interficeret Iezabel prophetas Domini: quod absconderim de prophetis Domini centum viros, quinquagenos et quinquagenos in speluncis et paverim eos pane et aqua?
14 Et nunc tu dicis: "Vade et dic domino tuo: Adest Elias", ut interficiat me".
15 Dixit Elias: "Vivit Dominus exercituum ante cuius vultum sto: hodie apparebo ei".
16 Abiit ergo Abdias in occursum Achab et indicavit ei. Venitque Achab in occursum Eliae
17 et, cum vidisset eum, ait: "Tune es, qui conturbas Israel?".
18 Et ille ait: "Non turbavi Israel, sed tu et domus patris tui, qui dereliquistis mandata Domini, et secutus es Baalim.
19 Verumtamen nunc mitte et congrega ad me universum Israel in monte Carmeli et prophetas Baal quadringentos quinquaginta prophetasque Aserae quadringentos, qui comedunt de mensa Iezabel".
20 Misit Achab ad omnes filios Israel et congregavit prophetas in monte Carmeli.
21 Accedens autem Elias ad omnem populum ait: "Usquequo claudicatis in duas partes? Si Dominus est Deus, sequimini eum; si autem Baal, sequimini illum". Et non respondit ei populus verbum.
22 Et ait rursus Elias ad populum: "Ego remansi propheta Domini solus; prophetae autem Baal quadringenti et quinquaginta viri sunt.
23 Dentur nobis duo boves, et illi eligant sibi bovem unum et in frusta caedentes ponant super ligna; ignem autem non supponant. Et ego faciam bovem alterum et imponam super ligna; ignemque non supponam.
24 Invocate nomen dei vestri, et ego invocabo nomen Domini; et Deus, qui exaudierit per ignem, ipse est Deus!". Respondens omnis populus ait: "Optima propositio".
25 Dixit ergo Elias prophetis Baal: "Eligite vobis bovem unum et facite primi, quia vos plures estis; et invocate nomen dei vestri ignemque non supponatis".
26 Qui cum tulissent bovem, quem dederat eis, fecerunt et invocabant nomen Baal de mane usque ad meridiem dicentes: "Baal, exaudi nos!". Et non erat vox, nec qui responderet. Saliebantque in circuitu altaris, quod fecerant.
27 Cumque esset iam meridies, illudebat eis Elias dicens: "Clamate voce maiore; deus enim est et forsitan occupatus est aut secessit aut in itinere aut certe dormit, ut excitetur".
28 Clamabant ergo voce magna et incidebant se iuxta ritum suum cultris et lanceolis, donec perfunderentur sanguine.
29 Postquam autem transiit meridies, et, illis prophetantibus, venerat tempus, quo sacrificium offerri solet, nec audiebatur vox, neque aliquis respondebat nec attendebat orantes,
30 dixit Elias omni populo: "Venite ad me". Et, accedente ad se populo, curavit altare Domini, quod destructum fuerat;
31 et tulit duodecim lapides iuxta numerum tribuum filiorum Iacob, ad quem factus est sermo Domini dicens: "Israel erit nomen tuum".
32 Et aedificavit lapidibus altare in nomine Domini fecitque aquaeductum quasi pro duobus satis in circuitu altaris
33 et composuit ligna divisitque per membra bovem et posuit super ligna
34 et ait: "Implete quattuor hydrias aqua et fundite super holocaustum et super ligna". Rursumque dixit: "Etiam secundo hoc facite". Qui cum fecissent et secundo, ait: "Etiam tertio idipsum facite". Feceruntque et tertio,
35 et currebant aquae circum altare, et fossa aquaeductus repleta est.
36 Cumque iam tempus esset, ut offerretur sacrificium, accedens Elias propheta ait: "Domine, Deus Abraham, Isaac et Israel, hodie ostende quia tu es Deus in Israel, et ego servus tuus et iuxta praeceptum tuum feci omnia haec.
37 Exaudi me, Domine, exaudi me, ut discat populus iste quia tu, Domine, es Deus et tu convertisti cor eorum iterum!".
38 Cecidit autem ignis Domini et voravit holocaustum et ligna et lapides, pulverem quoque et aquam, quae erat in aquaeductu lambens.
39 Quod cum vidisset omnis populus, cecidit in faciem suam et ait: "Dominus ipse est Deus, Dominus ipse est Deus!".
40 Dixitque Elias ad eos: "Apprehendite prophetas Baal, et ne unus quidem effugiat ex eis!". Quos cum comprehendissent, duxit eos Elias ad torrentem Cison et interfecit eos ibi.
41 Et ait Elias ad Achab: "Ascende, comede et bibe, quia sonus multae pluviae est".
42 Ascendit Achab, ut comederet et biberet. Elias autem ascendit in verticem Carmeli et pronus in terram posuit faciem inter genua sua
43 et dixit ad puerum suum: "Ascende et prospice contra mare". Qui, cum ascen disset et contemplatus esset, ait: "Non est quidquam". Et rursum ait illi: "Revertere septem vicibus".
44 In septima autem vice dixit: "Ecce nubecula parva quasi manus hominis ascendit de mari". Et ait: "Ascende et dic Achab: Iunge et descende, ne occupet te pluvia!".
45 Et factum est interea: ecce caeli contenebrati sunt, et nubes et ventus, et facta est pluvia grandis. Ascendens itaque Achab abiit in Iezrahel.
46 Et manus Domini facta est super Eliam; accinctisque lumbis, currebat ante Achab, donec veniret in Iezrahel.
King James Version
1 And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth.
2 And Elijah went to shew himself unto Ahab. And there was a sore famine in Samaria.
3 And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the governor of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly:
4 For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)
5 And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go into the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks: peradventure we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts.
6 So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
7 ¶ And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art thou that my lord Elijah?
8 And he answered him, I am: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.
9 And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?
10 As the LORD thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not there; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not.
11 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.
12 And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of the LORD shall carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me: but I thy servant fear the LORD from my youth.
13 Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the LORD, how I hid an hundred men of the LORD'S prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?
14 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here: and he shall slay me.
15 And Elijah said, As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely shew myself unto him to day.
16 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him: and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
17 ¶ And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?
18 And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim.
19 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table.
20 So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.
21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
22 Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
23 Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under:
24 And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the LORD: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.
25 And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under.
26 And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made.
27 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.
28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.
29 And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.
30 And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down.
31 And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the LORD came, saying, Israel shall be thy name:
32 And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.
33 And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood.
34 And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time.
35 And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.
36 And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.
37 Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.
38 Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
39 And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God.
40 And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.
41 ¶ And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.
42 So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees,
43 And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.
44 And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not.
45 And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.
46 And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.

Campbell Soup Company brand Plum Organics, Ecover's US home goods company Method and fair trade food business Alter Eco were among the first 17 companies to register as benefit corporations since Delaware passed a law to give businesses greater freedom to pursue social and environmental objectives.
Other companies to register as benefit corporations in Delaware include online personal delivery farmer's market Farmigo, paper company New Leaf, Grassroots Capital Management, Profile Health Systems, Plexx, RSF Capital Management and VenturePilot. SustainAbility, Honest Company, Good Inc. and Performance Management Institute have committed to registering as benefit corporations in the coming year.
Current Delaware law requires corporations to prioritize the financial interests of shareholders over the interests of workers, communities and the environment. The state's new benefit corporation law allows investors, entrepreneurs and consumers the ability to build, finance and patronize for-profit businesses that pledge, as part of their corporate structure, to operate in a socially and environmentally responsible manner.
B Lab, a non-profit behind the new category, is responsible for certifying benefit corporations. Such certified entities are called "B Corporations" or "B Corps." Farmigo, AlterEco, New Leaf Paper, Method and Plum Organics are certified B Corps, according to B Labs website.
Delaware is the 19th state, plus the District of Columbia, to enact benefit corporation legislation. However, its adoption is important because the state is the legal home to the majority of publicly traded companies, numerous venture-backed businesses and nearly two-thirds of the Fortune 500 companies.
In other states where legislation has passed, benefit corporations are required to publicly report annually on its overall social and environmental performance using a comprehensive, credible, independent and transparent third party standard. Delaware's new statute doesn't require use of a third party. Benefit corporations in Delaware will only have to report to shareholders, not the general public.
An increasing number of municipal and state governments have addressed benefit corporations through legislation and tax incentive programs. Philadelphia was among the first cities in the US to provide a pilot tax incentive for certified benefit corporations.
In California, Gov. Jerry Brown signed two bills into law in 2011 to give businesses greater freedom to pursue social and environmental objectives. From January 2012, when the law went into effect, until November 2012, about 75 companies in the state registered as benefit or flexible-purpose corporations.
Last year, legal experts at a National Association of State Charity Officials conference pressed California regulators to provide more oversight of these companies.

To Aston Villa, the spoils and the regional supremacy that secures pole position in the Midlands quartet of clubs. To Liverpool, zilch, not even the tepid consolation of a Europa League place: that now belongs to Tottenham Hotspur.
A telling finale, too, when the loudest cheer of this muted affair was reserved for the White Hart Lane team whose defeat of Birmingham City condemned Villa's second city rivals to relegation.
Any crumb of comfort, even the misery of neighbours, currently suffices for the claret-and-blue fans.
Doubtless a period of reflection before a summer of regeneration lies ahead at Villa Park and Anfield although delving back further, nostalgia devotees will recall how, 30 years ago this month, both these teams overwhelmed domestic and European football. Villa were First Division champions as Liverpool claimed their third of five European Cups when Alan Kennedy's goal beat Real Madrid in Paris. A year later and Villa would take over that mantle.
Three decades on and the erosion has been acute even if Kenny Dalglish, a Liverpool player in that 1981 final, has restored some semblance of order. Yet not since 1999 and a last- day reverse to Bradford City have Liverpool failed to qualify for Europe.
"There's a lot more players who don't play in it [Europe] than do," said Dalglish when discussing new signings. "Liverpool Football Club is a big enough attraction to players.
"But we didn't not qualify for Europe because we lost today. It's because we had a bad start to the season," he added, a direct criticism of the brief reign of Roy Hodgson, whom he replaced in January.
Now, having signed a three-year contract, Dalglish's second managerial coming at Anfield should at least establish stability.
There were precious few signs of the revival he has inspired yesterday though the injured Steven Gerrard was spotted among the travelling throng from Merseyside.
The visitors were striving to extend an unbeaten league sequence at this venue dating back to 1998 but that seldom appeared likely after Villa scored. Darren Bent began the move and as Liverpool failed to clear Marc Albrighton's cross, Stewart Downing smacked in a left-foot volley.
Liverpool raised their game after the interval and should have levelled when Luis Suárez teed up a chance for Paul Meireles whose feeble shot was saved by Brad Friedel.

Our friend use to tell us a story about the belgians
The Belgians are usually rediculed among europeans because they are not very bright, so one day, the Belge president asked the french government to build a flyover out of nowhere, say a jungle so that people will see that it's not only the Belgians who are stupid.
So the French president, ever so kind, acquiesced. He built one and people all over the world started laughing at the french. So the Belge president was satisfied, he observed that now that everyone has made fun of the french, they're now equal, and it's time to take down the flyover.
The French president says that he couldn't, since there are still Belgians that continue to pay tolls to use the flyover.
Anyway, I just read the news (yeah, it's real) : When asked to sing the Belge national anthem,
Yves Leterme, the probable future Belgian prime minister burst out the French national anthem, la Marseillaise.

Stuff Brisbane people say1:57
A light-hearted look at some of the familiar sayings that make Brisbane the greatest place on earth to live.
FORGET sweltering through summer - Brisbane is getting cooler by the minute.
Uber trendy men's mag GQ has published a new report revealing Brisbane is undergoing a renaissance of coolness the envy of other Australia cities.
It is the latest in a growing list of accolades for the formerly boring business centre hugging the shores of the brown Brisbane River.
In December, travel bible Lonely Planet's new Australian edition also lavished praise on Brisbane, calling it our hippest city.
Love Brisbane? Tell us why below
Lonely Planet: Brisbane our hippest city
Now GQ has joined the party, compiling a list of seven reasons why Brisbane is cool, naming our arts, music and architecture as among the most cutting edge in the country.
"Cast aside by tourists for the more common culture hubs of Melbourne and Sydney, Brisbane has been (rather unfairly) bunched with the Gold Coast for a number of years as a place of shady night-life, silicon-enhanced bodies and, frankly, not worth forking out the money for the flight," the report says.
"But there's something of a renaissance playing out in Australia's north-eastern city over the last five years.
"Thanks to greater development, the cultural staples have come in droves: cafes, art, design, bars and live music.
"Creative minds banding together to brush the dust off the city and bring it to the forefront of places to see."
You're not from Brisbane until ...
Brisbane: The good, the bad, the funny
20 (secret) places Brisbane like to go, and things they say

Join the conversation on Facebook
The notoriously hard-to-please Lonely Planet also rated Brisbane highly, while saving some less-than-kind words for the city a little further down the M1.
"Brisbane is Australia's most underrated city," the new edition says.
"Sub-culture undercurrents run deep here with cool bookshops, globally inspired restaurants and cafes, bars and band rooms aplenty."
(according to GQ.com.au)
1. Thriving restaurant scene
2. Local artists pushing the scope
3. Stylish shopping
4. Kicking live music scene
5. Food, glorious food.
6. Buzzing late-night entertainment
7. Innovative architects and pioneering architecture
These are their reasons.
We reckon there are heaps more, got any ideas? Share them below.

Each person's zodiac is a unique way of identifying a person's personality traits, moods and overall position throughout their life. This belt of heavens correlates with the positions of the planets in our solar system, and then assigned to a monthly horoscope reading for each symbol. As each zodiac signs aligns at a rerspective time of the year, this series intends to match each month's horoscope reading with a matching EDM playlist. September 23rd - October 22nd is the time of the very attentive Libra.
Being the seventh sign of the zodiac, Libras are known for doing everything as a duo. According to Ganesha Speaks, Libra's are true teamwork-oriented individuals who care about getting their work accomplished. Represented by scales, Libras find passion in working with others, while exhibiting the traits of politeness, harmony and gracefulness. Libras exhibit a work ethic indistinguishable from the rest, and can be best seen working side-by-side with other determined individuals. With that being said, this month's playlist consists of all the power-house EDM duo's that hit it hard.

EducationFreshman Dance Education Minor at Minnesota State University, Mankato
ExperienceI have taught dance to students from ages 18 months to 17 years, as well as having taught kung fu when I was younger. I got an overall score of 29 on my ACT, and scored highest in math and science. I love to teach, it is my passion, and what I hope to do when I graduate. I was a professional assistant and substitute dance instructor for two years at my dance studio, the DanceXchange, and can teach anywhere from a group of twenty to a one-on-one.
HobbiesWhen I'm not dancing, I usually spend my time playing video games, reading, checking out news on the internet, baking, watching cartoons, and a little bit of writing if the mood strikes me. I tend to be very artistic, but I have a nerdy side as well.

If I was a rich girl...
Firstly, in reference to my last post, my 'santa, please turn me into one of these girls' comment was meant in jest and in reference to the overall cool aura the ladies posess and was not weight-related. I am very comfortable with my 'curves' and would never aspire to be stick-thin. I have a bit of a weird sense of humour, which I suppose can sometimes get a bit lost in translation on the blog and come across as intense self-loathing! So thanks for your sweet comments and sorry if I came across like a depressed dweeb! I just do it for the lolz. Carbs are my religion, and that will never change!
So anyways, I procrastinated my evening away on Polyvore compiling this little visual wishlist. The task was made a lot harder by the fact Roxy was asleep on my lap and across my arm like so:
I love the Opening Ceremony leopard cardi with a passion. Motel do a similar one but it's just not the same.
What's top of your Christmas list this year?
Despite my wishlist, my ACTUAL list is tiny, I feel like I have everything I need, really. I'm looking forward to some new perfume and a nice cosy dressing gown. Money's a bonus, obviously. I'm not that selfless!
PS - the work party was great, in all its awkward glory!

My daughter was diagnosed with FTT at 11 months and hypothyroidism at 12 months. She has been on synthroid ever since and honestly its done nothing to improve her weight gain, but she has severe feeding issues along with several other problems. We finally saw a geneticist last August and it turns out she has a NF1 caused by a microdeleted chromosome. I'm told that this would not of shown up on a regular genetic screening (whatever that is).
ETA: I had been asking for almost two years if there was a possibility that all of her problems were connected and was always told that she didn't have the "look".

Tripp had been drinking and when he returned to collect his mower they argued.
She pushed and pulled at him and a girl.
David Charnley, defending, told magistrates: "She has lost her good character. Hopefully this will be her only appearance at court."
Tripp was put on 12 months supervision and fined £50 with £50 costs plus £60 victims surcharge.

Copes Spelling Variations
Copes Spelling Variations
Until quite recently, the English language has lacked a definite system of spelling rules. Consequently, Anglo-Saxon surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. Changes in Anglo-Saxon names were influenced by the evolution of the English language, as it incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other languages. Although Medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, so it is common to find one person referred to by several different spellings of his surname, even the most literate people varied the spelling of their own names. Variations of the name Copes include Cope, Coap, Coape, Copes and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Searching for a better life, many English families migrated to British colonies. Unfortunately, the majority of them traveled under extremely harsh conditions: overcrowding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the ocean. For those families that arrived safely, modest prosperity was attainable, and many went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the new colonies. Research into the origins of individual families in North America revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Copes or a variant listed above:
Copes Settlers in United States in the 17th Century
Copes Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
Copes Settlers in Canada in the 19th Century
Copes Settlers in New Zealand in the 19th Century

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Aequo adeste animo
Motto Translation: Be present with mind unchangeable.

Nautical Ramblings
I was once and briefly a very junior engineer in the Merchant Navy. I went to college took part of my 2nd engineers ticket. I spent very little time at sea and left to do something completely different. The interest in ships and engineering never quite left me though and this part of the Journeyman′s Workshop is a collection of bits and pieces vaguely connected with ships, boats and other things with a maritime leaning. I used to build plastic kits, "when I were a lad", and a few years ago thought I would try the grown up version! One day I will model something really interesting and original but for now a quick look at my recent unfinished effort.
Continuing along the modelling thread this one has not yet got further than wishful thinking. The ship shown is a German Coastguard pollution control vessel. I found this some time ago and have always though it would make a super model. I have tried to contact the builders, Volkswerft Stralsund GmbH, several time without success but I have been slowly gathering images and data from the internet where Neuwerk seems to be quite a popular vessel to photograph.
Recently (2010) I have purchased a set of drawings from a German model supply store VTH (Vertag für Technik und Handwerk GmBH) which is a 1:100 scale set of drawings for modelmakers. I have also obtained a set of original drawings from the ships owners, WSA Cuxhaven. Next on the agenda is to learn German so that I can read the drawings!
More information about the Neuwerk can be found at Neuwerk - Pollution Control Vessel - a future project, maybe?
Feeling Your Age!
I came upon this triple expansion steam engine in the Science Museum, Kensington, London, UK and was struck by it′s familiarity. I don′t think it is currently on display but close inspection revealed why I knew it. The engine came from the Training Ship Glen Strathallan a converted steam trawler. It is here because many years ago, when doing part of my marine-engineering cadetship, I was briefly quite well acquanted with it .
I have found out a little more about the origins, history and eventual demise of this little ship and present it here for your interest.
Budapest Transport Museum
A few marine related photos from the museum that I visited whilst holidaying in Hungary. Worth a visit if you are in the neighbourhood - Budapest Transport Museum
This paddlewheel engine sits outside the museum next to the cafe. The engine is from the River Danube paddle tug Vertes (ex-Tihany) which operated from 1914 until 1963 . It is a twin cylinder compound engine, HP about 300mm dia LP about 400mm dia x 1200mm stroke
The feathering paddlewheels are about 3m dia and some 5m apart, although the shaft may have been reduced in length for the display.
Larger versions of this photo of Vertes and of the engine can be found at Paddlesteamers.info
This is a cutaway or half section model of the Mary Celeste, set in a mirrored case so that you can see the inside. Also has the unfortunate effect of showing an unintentional "selfie" of the photographer.

Climate change
The Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009 has set greenhouse gas reduction targets for Scotland of 80% by the year 2050 with an interim target of a 42% reduction by 2020. Part 4 of the act places a number of public sector duties on the Council to:
- Reduce green house gas emissions
- Put in place measures to adapt to a changing climate
- Work in a sustainable way.
What is the Council doing to tackle climate change?
The Council is developing an approach to Climate Change which will encompass:
- Powering Aberdeen; the Sustainable Energy Action Plan ( SEAP) to reduce emissions and meet the requirements of the Covenant of Mayors
- Adaptation Plan, Aberdeen with support from Adaptation Scotland is working to build resilience to the climate challenges and opportunities for the area. The Council is also a participant in the Adaptation Learning Exchange.
- Weather Impacts Report produced in 2014, examining the impact of weather on Council services over a 5 year period.
- Raising Awareness through initiatives such as and Climate Week. View the Earth Hour and Climate Week which won a Green Apple Awards for Environmental Best Practice.
Reducing our emissions
In May 2011 the Council approved an Alternative Energy Strategy for Council Owned Public Buildings. The aim of this strategy is to ensure the Council will continue to undertake energy efficiency measures and install low/ zero carbon technologies in and on Council owned assets, to reduce overall energy consumption and carbon emissions
Our Climate Change Commitments
Climate Change Reporting
The Climate Change (Duties of Public Bodies: Reporting Requirements) (Scotland) Order 2015 places a requirement on all "major player" public bodies in Scotland to complete an annual Climate Change Report. This is to indicate progress with meeting Public Bodies Duties under Part 4 of the Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009 and first reports are due in November 2016.
The new reporting responsibility consolidates public sector voluntary climate change reporting and for local authorities, this replaces previous reporting on progress under the Scottish Climate Change Declaration.
The Council participated in an interim year of Climate Change Reporting, for the year 2014/15, to trial the reporting. In November 2016 the Council submitted a report to the Sustainable Scotland Network, for the year 2015/16, to meet statutory reporting requirements.

North East Scotland Climate Change Partnership (NESCCP)
In 2008 the Council became one of a range of public and private sector organisations to form the North East Scotland Climate Change Partnership. The group meets regularly - working to reduce the impact of climate change and propose options for how we adapt to the changes climate change can bring.
Covenant of Mayors
The Lord Provost signed the Covenant of Mayors on 30 March 2009. This European Commission initiative brings together the mayors of Europe's most pioneering cities in a permanent network to exchange and apply good practices across these cities and beyond to improve energy efficiency significantly in the urban environment.
Member States are obliged to curb their CO2 emissions by at least 20% by 2020. Signatories of the Covenant of Mayors commit to go beyond this target through the implementation of a Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SEAP).
World Energy Cities Partnership: Calgary Climate Change Accord
In October 2009, the Lord Provost signed the World Energy Cities Climate Change Accord. The document was also signed by mayors of Energy Cities - Calgary, Stavanger and Houston.
The World Energy Cities Partnership (WECP) is a network of cities that host world-class energy operations and businesses. Their natural primary market sectors are energy and environment-related technology. The WECP acts as a forum for energy cities to share experiences, contacts and provide support for each other in tackling common industry and city issues.

Movie Review
Fenton Meiks' mother died giving birth to his younger brother, Adam. All his grandparents have also passed on, so just he, his dad and his brother are left. But they've managed to settle into a comfortable and secure existence nonetheless. Deep in the heart of the Bible belt, an osmosis-absorbed religion and good old masculine camaraderie build a cozy nest for a father and his two sons. But their stable life is upended when, in the middle of the night, Dad gets a vision—apparently a heavenly one—containing a mandate to slay demons.
The instructions, delivered to him by an angel, are very specific. The Lord will provide weapons and a list of targets, and the Meiks men are to hunt down their evil victims and kill them. There's just one problem. According to Mr. Meiks' instructions, the demons are living among men, disguising themselves as humans. Adam, at about age nine, buys it totally. Fenton is not so sure. To him, and anyone not operating under his father's maniacal zeal, it looks like they're performing random acts of violence, killing strangers and calling it the Lord's work. Through a series of flashbacks, a grown Meiks unloads on FBI Agent Doyle the grisly tale of how his father's fervent "faith" turned his family into a killing machine.
positive content: The Meiks are poor, but it doesn't seem to bother them. They care for each other in a practical, manly way. Dad works as a mechanic. Fenton and Adam are inseparable at school and they help out at home. And every night they have dinner together before Dad tucks the boys into bed (Adam gets a kiss, but Fenton is "too old" for that). So Frailty starts out looking like a picture of wholesome family life, but that warm setting quickly becomes the framework for a disturbing tale of manipulation and murder.
spiritual content: Though the Meikses are never shown going to church or reading the Bible, it's clear Mr. Meiks considers himself a Christian. He speaks often of "God's will," "the Lord's work," and his instructions from the angel who visits him. There is no way to misinterpret this movie as the story of just any old religious fanatic. It's clear that this murderousness is a product of a Christian mindset. And while filmmakers don't seem to say that all Christians are like Meiks, the thought is left dangling for watchers to wrestle with.
Several unfair, untrue and dangerous aspersions are cast about Christianity as Frailty's flashback scenes contrast Fenton Meiks and his father. Fenton is seen as the logical, rational one: his perceptions best match reality. To him, it looks like his father is killing people and blaming God, end of story. He remains uncomfortable with his father's actions throughout his childhood and thinks of numerous ways to stop the killings, though he never succeeds. Those with a true understanding of the Christian faith will see that it is Fenton, and not his father, who has an accurate moral compass. Unfortunately, being trapped in a destructive environment completely destroys Fenton's grasp of natural and moral law. He progresses from disbelief that his father could do such things to disgusted declarations that "There is no God," and "I hate your God!" to living a completely immoral life himself. To the casual observer, Christianity destroys Fenton Meiks' life.
On the other hand, Dad exhibits every trait of a stereotypical religious zealot. He's brainwashed. He's manipulative. He's obsessed with "judgment day." And there's no reasoning with him, because his point of view is the only one that makes sense to him. Fenton's questioning is seen as a threat and Dad wonders if his son might be a demon too. So he locks Fenton in a cellar and tells him to pray to God for a vision. In Mr. Meiks' mind, if Fenton can't see his way clear to participate in the killings, he too must be evil. Only after Fenton is delirious from starvation does he have the kind of "religious" experience that assuages his father. Adam follows in his dad's footsteps, once badly misinterpreting Genesis 22 to justify his own crimes.
The human responsibility to choose between right and wrong is emphasized in a few conversations, but they don't faze Mr. Meiks, who feels compelled to carry out his mission. In his mind, there's a clear distinction between what he's doing and murder ("Destroying demons is good. Killing people is bad"). Before finishing off his victims, Meiks lays his hands on them to "expose their sins," betraying a rotten understanding of the difference between evil spirits and human beings with sinful natures.
sexual content: Having watched The Dukes of Hazard, a school friend of Fenton's makes a few crude comments about his desire to see Daisy Duke naked.
violent content: For an R-rated movie about a family of ax murderers, Frailty is surprisingly gore-free. That's because the film editor's favorite trick is to show murder scenes right up to the frame where the ax enters the body, then cut away. So give it credit for leaving a lot to the imagination, but not too much credit, because it's very specific about what it wants viewers to imagine. The human "demons" destroyed by the Meiks men are often shown bound, gagged and trembling as the ax is raised above their heads. The same is true for one man who puts a gun to his head and pulls the trigger. The aftermath isn't shown, but what happens is clear. In many cases, sound effects relay what visuals don't. A few already-dead bodies are shown. Mr Meiks uses a metal pipe to knock his victims unconscious. Then he places his hands on them and shakes violently as he "exposes" their sins. At one point, he forcibly locks Fenton in the cellar where all the killings take place and leaves him there for weeks with no food. Both children kill at least one person. Near the end of the film, the graphic restraint slips, and audiences see the silhouette of a man stabbing a woman repeatedly, with her blood splattering on his face, hands and chest. Once, an ax is shown entering a man's chest and sticking there.
crude or profane language: Four misuses of God's name, three of which are coupled with the word "d--n." One misuse of Jesus' name. At least two audible f-words, with three or four more muffled ones. One s-word and a few other mild profanities.
drug and alcohol content: Mr. Meiks smokes casually and drinks an occasional beer. A man takes a shot of whiskey.
other negative elements: When Fenton runs to tell the sheriff what his dad is doing, the officer won't take him seriously; instead he rebukes him for "making up stories like that."
conclusion: In carrying out his bloody demon-slaying mission, Mr. Meiks unwittingly proves that his revelation is not from God. The Lord does not call individual Christians to do battle with evil on a physical level. We are not to shed blood, no matter how sinful the people around us are. Neglecting this principle leads him down a path of murder and destruction. Yet, because he is utterly deceived, he walks that road with a clear conscience.
Frailty is a picture of what happens when lies masquerade as the truth, emboldening people to do atrocious things in the name of God. Sadly, some people who see a film like this will—while not becoming murderers—make similar mistakes, latching on to a personal perception of Christianity and "the will of God" instead of searching Scripture for truth. This is especially likely since, unlike the present-day bookends of the movie, the flashback portions that make up its center are quite compelling. The characters are drawn believably, and will make it easy for audiences to mistake Mr. Meiks' false faith for the real thing. Families eager to live out a true Christian life won't find any help in this film. Those searching for ammunition to use against the cause of Christ will find a great deal.
