It's been a very busy six months since we had the official opening of our lovely new premises just
outside Ashbourne, back in October last year! Brighter Futures Counselling has been rebranded,
and is now called 'Brighter Futures Personal Growth' to reflect the changes in the business
since we moved into our new home, Sunshine Barn.
Counselling and coaching are still at the heart of what we offer but we are also now able to
offer retreats, 'VIP' days, workshops, relaxation days, self-care days, group work and
complementary therapies, to support adults, children and professionals in all aspects of
wellbeing and personal growth.
Full details of all these exciting new services can be found on our redesigned website
Do have a look at our forthcoming events in case there's anything that tempts you.....Perhaps a wonderful 'sound bath' experience as an introduction to sound therapy on Saturday
26 April - just £5.00 for a one and a half hour group session! Participants relax, usually lying down,
while a variety of unusual and fascinating instruments are played to create beautiful vibrations and
sounds. A sound bath is deeply relaxing, both physically and mentally. Please contact
Alan Wylie on 07816 518351 for more details or to reserve your place.
We run regular yoga workshops for children
aged 6-11 - the next one is on
Saturday 3 May from 2.00 - 5.00 pm.
These lovely introductory sessions help to boost
children's self-esteem and confidence, and
promote feelings of inner peace, calm
and happiness.
Our new children's therapy groups offer a cost-effective way for children to access therapy.
We have two groups starting in the near future:
Tame That Temper - an anger management group – will offer children and young
people the opportunity to develop a range of skills for expressing their anger in positive
and safe ways.
I am the Greatest - a group for those with low self esteem or lack of confidence -
will offer children and young people time and space to explore their view of
themselves and provide activities designed to boost self-esteem and self-confidence.
We have arranged a series of workshops and experiential days for counsellors and coaches
to offer opportunities for self-care and CPD.All the events listed above can be booked online through the new website or, if you
prefer, give me a call on 07721 674078.
Our new social enterprise, Nature and Nurture CIC is taking its first steps into the world of funding
applications and tendering - quite a learning curve! We are hopeful that we will soon be in a
position to start offering free therapy to children and young people who have experienced
any kind of trauma.
We have been touched by the support and encouragement we have received from so many people
and organisations, from donations to offers of practical help. Our next project is to create a sensory
garden for visitors to enjoy so if you are a keen gardener, or can donate some plants, we'd love to
hear from you!New arrivals have recently joined our team of animal 'helpers' in the form of hens Hermione and
Henrietta, and ducks Martha, Miffy and Maisy! Here they are enjoying the Spring sunshine on
Good Friday afternoon.Our beautiful premises, Sunshine Barn has been hired by a number of individuals and organisations
for a variety of business and social purposes and this has provided us with some welcome revenue
for Nature and Nurture. Many thanks to everyone who has chosen to use the venue.
If you would like to talk to me about any of the services or events on offer, please don't
hesitate to contact me. With best wishes for a very Happy Easter, Frances

Network marketing has been around for decades. It has made many people who had the courage to succeed very wealthy. In 2007-08, transnational corporations received billions of dollars from government. These monies were given in the form of bailouts that taxpayers were on the hook for "temporarily". Well, it turned out that taxpayers were on the hook for it permanently. My definition of a bailout is monies given to businesses and institutions to pay for their mismanagement and irresponsibility of financial resources. A bailout is a financial term used by wall street.
It amazes me that taxpayers can be held liable for the financial errors of corporations instead of the companies themselves. Bailouts only exist for the big guys, but what about the little guys? After all, the little guys are paying for the mistakes of the big guys. It seems as if no one is concerned about the average Joe.
Politicians give speeches to make you think they care about the working class but afterwards, do nothing. Well, it's time that we do something. Nothing has been going on long enough. Network marketing is the bailout for the little guy. It is a bailout because it prevents the little guy from getting screwed. Furthermore, it levels the playing field. There is no loyalty between the employer and employee. Your security doesn't exist and your 401k is at risk. What you once considered stable, is now on shaky ground.
In conclusion, network marketing is the bailout for the little guy. I strongly believe 2016 will be more of the same deception. If you think politicians are going to bail you out, think again. The only bailout for the little guy is the one he provides for himself. Network marketing is the last chance for the common man. There are many opportunities available to you.

CAIRO – Egypt's prime minister says his government has committed to pay what amounts to 24 percent of the total arrears it owes foreign oil companies in a bid to restore investor confidence in an economy damaged by nearly three years of unrest.
Hazem el-Beblawi was speaking Wednesday at an investors' forum that brought to Cairo businessmen and officials from the Gulf countries. El-Beblawi said his government approved settling $1.5 billion it owed to foreign oil firms. Petroleum ministry spokesman Hamdy Abdel-Aziz said the latest figure for money owed to oil companies stood at $6.2 billion.
El-Beblawi also urged investors to show patience with unrest-hit Egypt. He added that the government is on track to restore political and economic stability, and has realized a "milestone" by completing amendments to the country's constitution.

Market Strong, But Looking for Answers on China, India
The cotton market has returned to the 1965 days of the hit song "Catch Us If you Can," making an effective high of 78 cents, basis December at week's end. It is not through yet.
It's been more than two years since the grower was so blessed. Short term, the market is very bullish, but look for the bears to return next year.
In keeping with our message of last week, growers are advised to be at least 50% priced at current levels. Some may want to even go out to December 2017 and price 10% of next year's crop. That opportunity will be around a bit longer, but mark this down – world production in 2017 will soar, Mother Nature willing. Additionally, 80 cent-plus cotton this year will only lead to an increase in the substitution from cotton to acid-based synthetic fibers in the spinning process. In fact, the switch is now being made daily in China.
Nevertheless, this market has 80 cents written all over it, and who knows how much higher.
Near record heat and drought continue to push prices higher, as the U.S. crop goes backward. Granted, the Indian crop caught its million dollar rain, but that crop will still be below expectations, as earlier drought concerns had already diverted substantial acreage from cotton. The Texas plains have received nothing more than local showers, and the Mid-South is in the midst of a heat index of 115 degrees. Fruit shed is prevalent, and if the stressed crops were to receive moisture now, the young fruit would be shed and the plant would restart its productive juices.
Next comes the August world supply demand report and the first U.S. objective yield survey of the year. The report will be released Friday, August 12 at 11:00 A.M. Central time, and will be based on conditions as of August 1.
Look for a crop estimate of 15.4 million bales, down 400,000 bales from the subjective estimate in July. However, this early in the season, the range is between 15.2 and 16 million bales. Yet, you are again reminded that the crop is going backwards. U.S. domestic consumption and exports will be unchanged at 3.6 million bales and 11.5 million bales. However, the greater the crop reduction below 15.6 million bales, the greater the tendency for USDA to marginally lower exports.
Yet, with just one week into the 52-week 2016-17 marketing season, it is too early to make anything other than subjective changes. Nevertheless, current export sales remain very positive. Additionally, the few remaining certificated stocks continue to move in the export market every week. This also offers support for higher prices.
With the exception of the disaster facing Texas, the market's focus is on China, India and world consumption. A litany of events and issues are at the center of the market fundamentals surrounding those countries.
First, Chinese reserve sales – the three-month-old darling of the market – have slowed dramatically. In tune with that slowing has been a dip in Chinese futures prices, demonstrating once again the market magic of what goes up, does come down.
Yet, the slowdown in reserve sales was probably related to the Chinese announced policy of its calculation of the reserve's minimum selling price as opposed to a reduction in demand (the market will answer that next week). Simply, the calculation showed that reserve cotton could be purchased more cheaply next week. Thus, it was logical for sales to slow. Yet, should sales fail to pick up next week, then we should question the validity of slowing demand for reserve stocks – an issue not expected.
Finally, a long-standing issue could begin to find resolution in the August world supply demand report. The world cotton industry has been unanimous in its opinion that USDA has significantly overestimated Indian carryover stocks. Most also feel the USDA carryover estimate for China is somewhat bloated, as well.
To their credit, USDA has explained their methodology. Yet, it is past time to bite the hard bullet and make meaningful corrections. Listen to the market. Indian and Chinese stocks should both the adjusted some 5.0 million bales lower. That is a huge number, a combined 10 million bales. Unprecedented, one could say.
Maybe Chinese stocks are only 3.0 million bales too high, one may argue. There is enough information with respect to reserve stocks that fail to meet minimum classification standards and past questions of simple overestimation to make meaningful changes in Chinese stock levels (again, to USDA's credit, it correctly resisted calls for disappearing the entire Chinese carryover due to its age, and none of us ever thought its three-year old cotton would sell for a dollar per pound).
Yet, there can be little doubt about the Indian overestimation. India, the world's largest producer and second largest textile manufacturer, is being forced to import cotton to keep its spinning mills open. Again, a 5.0 million bale overestimation is unanimous. Some think it is 7.0 million.
If India has the cotton USDA claims, then why would they not use it instead of importing high priced cotton? If they have it, why have domestic prices soared to the highest price of the year? If they have it, why have world prices been up nearly two cents a day for over a week? Surely no one thinks a rain in Texas would send the market 12-14 cents lower. So is a lack of moisture in Texas the reason for 14 cents? Not even close.
The market is speaking volumes. The market is not wrong. The market is always right. The Texas situation is drastic, but it is supportive, not the basis for the rally. Yes, markets overshoot and undershoot. But at the end of the day, the market is better than all the answers in the back of the book. The back of the book has printing errors, the market does not. If you don't believe it, ask your banker.
It is time for the back of the book to be corrected.
Give a gift of cotton today.

Should I use LED bulbs?
When we talk about replacing our incandescent bulbs, halogen or fluorescent, the first question that comes to mind is how much I will save with the change? And it is normal, because that is the main factor used by manufacturers to enhance their sales.
And it is true, assumes a power saving, but we must also be aware that the LED illumination brings another set of advantages. Some, such as the maintenance savings also mean a saving but equally important is the type of light which give. Reaching these sometimes to be better than the halogen used, with option for be regulated in intensity if they are Dimmables, or generate less heat, ideal if you have several points of light in the room.

Quentin Jerome Tarantino (pronunciation: /ˌtærənˈtiːnoʊ/; born March 27, 1963) is an American film director, screenwriter, producer, cinematographer and actor. He has received many industry awards, including an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, a BAFTA and the Palme d'Or and has been nominated for an Emmy and Grammy.
Born in Knoxville, Tennessee, Tarantino was an avid film fan. His career began in the late 1980s, when he wrote and directed My Best Friend's Birthday. Its screenplay would form the basis forTrue Romance. In the early 1990s, he began his career as an independent filmmaker with films employing nonlinear storylines and the aestheticization of violence. His films include Reservoir Dogs (1992), Pulp Fiction (1994), Jackie Brown (1997), Kill Bill (2003, 2004), Death Proof (2007), and Inglourious Basterds (2009).
His movies are generally characterized by stylistic influences from grindhouse, kung fu, and spaghetti western films. Tarantino also frequently collaborates with his friend and fellow filmmaker Robert Rodriguez.
Tarantino has had a number of collaborations with director Robert Rodriguez.
Early life
Tarantino was born in Knoxville, Tennessee, the son of Tony Tarantino, an actor and amateur musician who was born in Queens, New York, and Connie McHugh, a nurse. Tarantino's father is of Italian descent and his mother is of Irish and Cherokee ancestry. He was raised by his mother, as his parents separated before his birth. When he was two years old, he moved to Torrance, California and later to the Harbor City neighborhood where he went to Fleming Junior High School in Lomita and took drama classes. He attended Narbonne High School in Harbor City for his freshman year before dropping out of school at age 15 (Quentin Tarantino has provided contradictory information about this – elsewhere, he claimed he was 16 when he dropped out), to attend an acting class full time at the James Best Theater Company in Toluca Lake. He grew bored with the James Best Acting School and quit after two years, although he made a point of keeping in touch with all his acting friends. Then he landed a job which threatened to interfere with his long-term acting ambitions.
As an employee of the Video Archives, a now-defunct video rental store in Manhattan Beach, he and fellow movie enthusiasts, including Roger Avary, discussed cinema and customer video recommendations at length. He paid close attention to the types of films people liked to rent and has cited that experience as inspiration for his directorial career. Tarantino has been quoted as saying, "When people ask me if I went to film school I tell them, 'no, I went to films.'"
Film career
After Tarantino met Lawrence Bender at a Hollywood party, Bender encouraged him to write a screenplay. Tarantino directed and co-wrote a movie called My Best Friend's Birthday in 1987. The final reel of the film was almost fully destroyed in a lab fire that occurred during editing but its screenplay would form the basis for True Romance.
In January 1992, Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs screened at the Sundance Film Festival and was an immediate hit. The film garnered critical acclaim. Reservoir Dogs was a dialogue-driven heist movie that set the tone for his later films. Tarantino wrote the script in three and a half weeks and Bender forwarded it to director Monte Hellman. Hellman helped Tarantino to secure funding from Richard Gladstein at Live Entertainment (which later became Artisan). Harvey Keitel read the script and also contributed to funding, taking a co-producer role, and a part in the movie.
Tarantino's screenplay True Romance was optioned and eventually released in 1993. The second script that Tarantino sold was Natural Born Killers, which was revised by Dave Veloz, Richard Rutowski and director Oliver Stone. Tarantino was given story credit, and wished the film well.Following the success of Reservoir Dogs, Tarantino was approached by Hollywood and offered numerous projects, including Speed and Men in Black. He instead retreated to Amsterdam to work on his script for Pulp Fiction. After Pulp Fiction was completed, he then directed Episode Four of Four Rooms, "The Man from Hollywood", a tribute to the Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode that starred Steve McQueen. Four Rooms was a collaborative effort with filmmakers Allison Anders, Alexandre Rockwell, and Robert Rodriguez. The film was very poorly received by critics. He appeared in and wrote the script for Robert Rodriguez's From Dusk Till Dawn, which saw mixed reviews from the critics yet led to two sequels, for which Tarantino and Rodriguez would only serve as executive producers.
Tarantino's third feature film was Jackie Brown (1997), an adaptation of Rum Punch, a novel by Elmore Leonard. An homage to blaxploitation films, it starred Pam Grier, who starred in many of that genre's films of the 1970s. Leonard considers Jackie Brown the best of the twenty-six different screen adaptations of his novels and short stories.
Quentin Tarantino 2009
Tarantino had planned to make the war film provisionally titled Inglourious Basterds, but postponed it to write and direct Kill Bill (released as two films, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2), a highly stylized "revenge flick" in the cinematic traditions of Wuxia (Chinese martial arts), Jidaigeki (Japanese period cinema), Spaghetti Westerns and Italian horror.
It was based on a character (The Bride) and a plot that he and Kill Bill's lead actress, Uma Thurman, had developed during the making of Pulp Fiction. In 2004, Tarantino returned to Cannes, where he served as President of the Jury. Although Kill Bill was not in competition, Vol. 2 had an evening screening, while it was also shown on the morning of the final day in its original 3-hour-plus version, with Tarantino himself attending the full screening. Tarantino then went on to be credited as "Special Guest Director" in Robert Rodriguez's 2005 neo-noir film Sin City for his work directing the car sequence featuring Clive Owen and Benicio del Toro.
The next film project was Grindhouse, which he co-directed with Rodriguez. Released in theaters on April 6, 2007, Tarantino's contribution to the Grindhouse project was titled Death Proof. It began as a take on 1970s slasher films, but evolved dramatically as the project unfolded. Ticket sales were low despite mostly positive reviews.
Among his producing credits are the horror film Hostel (which included numerous references to his own Pulp Fiction), the adaptation of Elmore Leonard's Killshot (for which Tarantino was credited as an executive producer, although he was no longer associated with the film after its 2009 release.) and Hell Ride (written and directed by Larry Bishop, who appeared in Kill Bill Vol. 2).
Tarantino's 2009 film Inglourious Basterds is the story of a group of guerrilla U.S. soldiers in Nazi-occupied France during World War II. Filming began in October 2008. The film opened on August 21, 2009 to very positive reviews and the #1 spot at the box office worldwide. It went on to become Tarantino's highest grossing film, both in the United States and worldwide.
Robert Rodriguez, Quentin Tarantino, Uma Thurman and Harvey Weinstein – Kill Bill Vol. 2 World Premiere – 2004
In 2011, production began on Django Unchained, about the revenge of a slave on his former master. The film stemmed from Tarantino's desire to produce a spaghetti western set in America's Deep South; Tarantino has called the proposed style "a southern", stating that he wanted "to do movies that deal with America's horrible past with slavery and stuff but do them like spaghetti westerns, not like big issue movies.
I want to do them like they're genre films, but they deal with everything that America has never dealt with because it's ashamed of it, and other countries don't really deal with because they don't feel they have the right to". Tarantino finished the script on April 26, 2011, and handed in the final draft to The Weinstein Company.
Agency William Morris Endeavor reported Christoph Waltz was cast to play a German bounty hunter, with Stacey Sher, Pilar Savone, and Reginald Hudlin producing. AlthoughWill Smith and Idris Elba were heavily rumored to be up for the title role, Jamie Foxx has since been confirmed to play Django. Tarantino regular Samuel L. Jackson will play Stephen, a house slave. Leonardo DiCaprio has also been officially cast in the role of Calvin Candie, the primary antagonist in the film. Kevin Costner had been cast as Ace Woody, a "vile and sadistic trainer of slaves who are forced to fight in death matches for a plantation owner (DiCaprio)" before he later dropped out due to scheduling conflicts, and was replaced by Kurt Russell who later also dropped out. Kerry Washington has been cast as Broomhilda, the "long-suffering slave wife of Django." Other cast members include Dennis Christopher as Candie family lawyer Leonide 'Leo' Moguy, Laura Cayouette as Candie's sister, Lara Lee Candie-Fitzwilly, M.C. Gainey and Tom Savini as Big John and Ellis Brittle, two of the slave owners who separate Django and Broomhilda, Anthony LaPaglia and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Australian brothers, Jano and an unnamed character, respectively, who encounter Django while escorting slaves to a fight.
However, Gordon-Levitt has not fully committed to the film, due to possible scheduling issues, and Gerald McRaney and Michael K. Williams in unknown roles. Tarantino-collaborator RZA was cast as a slave named Thadeus. According to ReservoirWatchDogs.com, Sacha Baron Cohen was cast in the role as gambler Scotty Harmony who wishes to purchase Django's wife from Calvin Candie. Reportedly, Tarantino is also interested in including Lady Gaga in the film to some degree. The film is said to be inspired by the 1966 film Django, directed by Sergio Corbucci. James Remar is also involved in the film. The film is scheduled to be released on December 25, 2012.
As producer
In recent years, Tarantino has used his Hollywood power to give smaller and foreign films more attention than they might have received otherwise. These films are usually labeled "Presented by Quentin Tarantino" or "Quentin Tarantino Presents". The first of these productions was in 2001 with the Hong Kong martial arts film Iron Monkey which made over $14 million in the United States, seven times its budget. In 2004 he brought the Chinese martial arts film Hero to U.S. shores.
It ended up having a #1 opening at the box office and making $53.5 million. In 2006, the latest "Quentin Tarantino presents" production, Hostel, opened at #1 at the box office with a $20.1 million opening weekend, good for 8th all time in January. He presented 2006's The Protector, and is a producer of the (2007) film Hostel: Part II. in 2008 he produced the Larry Bishop helmed Hell Ride, a revenge biker film.
In addition, in 1995 Tarantino formed Rolling Thunder Pictures with Miramax as a vehicle to release or re-release several independent and foreign features. By 1997, Miramax shut down the company due to "lack of interest" in the pictures released. The following films were released by Rolling Thunder Pictures: Chungking Express (1994, dir. Wong Kar-wai), Switchblade Sisters (1975, dir. Jack Hill), Sonatine (1993, dir. Takeshi Kitano), Hard Core Logo (1996, dir.Bruce McDonald), The Mighty Peking Man (1977, dir. Ho Meng-Hua), Detroit 9000 (1973, dir. Arthur Marks), The Beyond (1981, dir. Lucio Fulci) and Curdled (1996, dir. Reb Braddock).
Other potential films
Before Inglourious Basterds, Quentin Tarantino had considered making The Vega Brothers. The film would have starred Michael Madsen and John Travolta reprising their roles of Vic (Mr. Blonde) from Reservoir Dogs and Vincent from Pulp Fiction. However in 2007, because of the age of the actors and the onscreen deaths of both characters, he claimed that the film (which he intended to call Double V Vega) is "kind of unlikely now".
In 2009, in an interview for Italian TV, after being asked about the success of the two Kill Bill films, Tarantino said "You haven't asked me about the third one", and implied that he would be making a third Kill Bill film with the words "The Bride will fight again!"
Later that year, at the Morelia International Film Festival, Tarantino announced that he would like to film Kill Bill: Vol. 3. He explained that he wanted ten years to pass between The Bride's last conflict, in order to give her and her daughter a period of peace.
Personal life
Tarantino has been romantically linked with American actress
Mira Sorvino,
directors Allison Anders
and Sofia Coppola,
actress Julie Dreyfus
and comedians Kathy Griffin
and Margaret Cho.
There have also been rumors about his relationship with Uma Thurman, whom he has referred to as his "muse".
Quinten and Uma
Even-tempered and peace loving, he is not easily ruffled and is rarely given to emotional displays.Quentin Tarantino has a calming effect on more high-strung or volatile people, and an emotional steadiness that others find soothing. Though gentle and not easily provoked, Tarantino is tremendously stubborn and resists any change that requires an emotional adjustment, such as changes in his home life or marriage.
Quentin Tarantino seeks security and loyalty in love relationships, is extremely devoted to his loved ones and provides a warm, nurturing atmosphere for them. However, Tarantino tends to cling to others and prevent them from changing.
A great deal of physical affection, closeness and touching is crucial to Quentin's well-being, and he has a tendency to overindulge in sensual comforts and pleasures. At times Quentin Tarantino substitutes food for emotional comfort and love.
Tarantino gets a lot of emotional fulfillment through his involvement in groups, clubs, organizations, community activities, or a network of close friends who support and care for him. Quentin Tarantino makes friends his family, and he feels a close kinship with people who share some ideals or beliefs that he holds dear. Quentin Tarantino needs close relationships with people outside of his physical family.
He is temperamental and impatient and can be very difficult to live with. Quentin Tarantino tends to respond with a temper tantrum (overt or subtle) if his desires are frustrated. Quentin Tarantino becomes very irritable and bad-tempered if he lacks vigorous physical activity or other outlets for his aggressive, feisty spirit.
He enjoys emotional intensity and is attracted to the mysterious, the unknown, and dangerous or challenging experiences that draw on all of his inner resources. He is able to handle an emotional crisis very well and is interested in the underlying root of emotional problems and how to cure them. Quentin Tarantino insists on bringing feelings between people out into the open, for he craves real closeness and intimacy in his relationships, without barriers or secrets.
Quentin Tarantino tends to be emotional inhibited when he is with others and therefore appear rather aloof. Although he may feel lonely, Quentin is inclined to flee from crowds of people and to give the impression of needing protection.
He is open and unconventional in his attitude towards love relationships, romance and sex. He enjoys socializing, bringing people together and having many friends of both sexes. Quentin Tarantino values friendship very highly and in fact, he is more comfortable being a friend than a lover. Quentin desires an intellectual rapport or spiritual bond with his love partner, but deep intimacy and emotional bonding do not come easily to him. The traditional "husband" and "wife" roles do not appeal to Tarantino, and he abhors jealousy and possessiveness since he feels that no person truly "belongs" to another. Quentin Tarantino appreciates relationships in which his love partner allows him plenty of freedom and is not very emotionally demanding.
Quentin is attracted to foreigners, exotic places, traveling, and to people who can expand his horizons, teach him something, or show Tarantino places and worlds he has never experienced before. Sharing a philosophy or ideal with his love partner is important to him.
Also, Quentin Tarantino feels love and kinship for people everywhere, not only with his own family, nationality, or group. Finding similarities and making links between people from differing backgrounds or with different perspectives is a gift of his.
Quentin Tarantino is not a traditionalist where love and relationships are concerned, and he often feels that formal commitments and conventional relationships are too binding and restricting. Thus, Quentin is not very comfortable with forming lasting attachments or letting other people depend on him. He may be attracted to wild, unreliable, highly creative and/or unstable people who do not offer him any security. Even if Quentin Tarantino professes to want something steady and solid, he is very reluctant to give up his freedom and autonomy for its sake. At best, he is suited to serial monogamy or relationships that leave Tarantino a lot of breathing space.
However, Tarantino has stated that their relationship is strictly platonic. Tarantino stated "I'm not saying that I'll never get married or have a kid before I'm 60. But I've made a choice, so far, to go on this road alone. Because this is my time to make movies." He also has said that he plans to retire from filmmaking at age 60, to focus on writing novels and film literature. He also is skeptical of the film industry going digital, saying, "If it actually gets to the place where you can't show 35 mm film in theatres anymore and everything is digital projection, I won't even make it to 60." He reportedly has an IQ of 160, which signifies exceptional intellectual giftedness. However, Quentin Tarantino himself has only confirmed that he took an IQ test at some point in his childhood and not the 160 score – according to Quentin Tarantino, that result of the test is solely his mother's assertion.
On February 18, 2010, it was announced that Tarantino had bought the New Beverly Cinema. Tarantino allowed the current owners to continue operating the theater, but he will be making programming suggestions from time to time. He was quoted as saying: "As long as I'm alive, and as long as I'm rich, the New Beverly will be there, showing films shot on 35mm."
Influences and style of filmmaking
In an awards ceremony in the Critics Choice Awards celebrating Tarantino, he said he got his start in filmmaking in his 20s. Music is an important part of his filmmaking style. He said he would listen to music in his bedroom and create scenes that correlated to the music playing.
In the 2002 Sight & Sound directors' poll, Tarantino revealed his top 12 films: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly; Rio Bravo; Taxi Driver; His Girl Friday; Rolling Thunder; They All Laughed; The Great Escape; Carrie; Coffy; Dazed and Confused; Five Fingers of Death; and Hi Diddle Diddle. In 2009, he named Kinji Fukasaku's violent action film Battle Royale as his favorite film released since he became a director in 1992.
In August 2007, while teaching a four-hour film course during the 9th Cinemanila International Film Festival in Manila, Tarantino cited Filipino directors Cirio Santiago, Eddie Romero, and Gerardo de León as personal icons from the 1970s, citing De Leon's "soul-shattering, life-extinguishing" movies on vampires and female bondage, particularly Women in Cages. "It is just harsh, harsh, harsh," he said, and described the final shot as one of "devastating despair". Upon his arrival in the Philippines, Tarantino was quoted in the local newspaper as saying, "I'm a big fan of RP (Republic of the Philippines) cinema."
Actor Steve Buscemi has described Tarantino's different style of film making as "bursting with energy" and "focused," a style that has earned him many accolades worldwide. According to Tarantino, a recurring hallmark in all his movies is that there is a different sense of humor in each one, which gets the audience to laugh at things that aren't funny. Michael Winner, whilst appearing on an episode of Piers Morgan's Life Stories (an ITV production), stated that Quentin Tarantino was a "big fan" of Death Wish.
Racial epithets in Tarantino's work
Spike Lee questioned Tarantino's use of racial epithets in his films, particularly the racially offensive epithet "nigger". In a Variety interview discussing Jackie Brown, Lee said: "I'm not against the word… and I use it, but Quentin is infatuated with the word. What does he want? To be made an honorary black man?" Tarantino responded on Charlie Rose by stating:
As a writer, I demand the right to write any character in the world that I want to write. I demand the right to be them, I demand the right to think them and I demand the right to tell the truth as I see they are, all right?
And to say that I can't do that because I'm white, but the Hughes brothers can do that because they're black, that is racist. That is the heart of racism, all right. And I do not accept that … That is how a segment of the black community that lives in Compton, lives in Inglewood, where Jackie Brown takes place, that lives in Carson, that is how they talk. I'm telling the truth. It would not be questioned if I was black, and I resent the question because I'm white. I have the right to tell the truth. I do not have the right to lie.
In addition, Tarantino retaliated on The Howard Stern Show by stating Lee would have to "stand on a chair to kiss my ass." Samuel L. Jackson, who has appeared in both directors' films, defended Tarantino's use of the word. At the Berlin Film Festival, where Jackie Brown was being screened, Jackson responded to Lee's criticism by saying:
I don't think the word is offensive in the context of this film … Black artists think they are the only ones allowed to use the word. Well, that's bull. Jackie Brown is a wonderful homage to black exploitation films. This is a good film, and Spike hasn't made one of those in a few years.
Tarantino has defended his use of the word, arguing that black audiences have an appreciation of his blaxploitation-influenced films that eludes some of his critics, and, indeed, that Jackie Brown, another oft-cited example, was primarily made for "black audiences".
According to a 1995 Premiere magazine article, actor Denzel Washington also confronted Tarantino on his usage of racial slurs in his pictures, but mentioned that Tarantino was a "fine artist."
Tarantino has said he was Influenced by these directors
Sergio Leone, Brian De Palma,Howard Hawks, John Woo,Jim Jarmusch, Jean-Luc Godard, Elmore Leonard,Samuel Fuller, Martin Scorsese, Enzo G. Castellari,David Lynch, Sam Peckinpah,Jack Hill, Douglas Sirk, Jean-Pierre Melville, Ralph Bakshi,Stanley Kubrick, Sergio Corbucci
Reservoir Dogs was given the Critic's Award at the 4th Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival in 1993.[62]
Pulp Fiction won the Palme d'Or (Golden Palm) at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival. The film was nominated for seven Oscars, winning one for Best Original Screenplay, which was shared jointly by Tarantino and co-writer Roger Avary.
In 1996, Tarantino was nominated for a Razzie Award for Worst Supporting Actor in From Dusk till Dawn, but lost against Marlon Brando in The Island of Dr. Moreau.
In 2005, Quentin Tarantino won the Icon of the Decade Award at the 10th Empire Awards.
On August 15, 2007, Philippine president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo presented Tarantino with a lifetime achievement award at the Malacañan Palace in Manila.
In 2009, his film Inglourious Basterds was nominated for eight Oscars including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay, winning one for Best Supporting Actor.
In March 2010, Tarantino was awarded the Order of Merit of the Hungarian Republic along with Lucy Liu and Andy Vajna for producing the 2006 movie Freedom's Fury.
In February 2011, Tarantino received an honorary César from the Académie des Arts et Techniques du Cinéma.

It's actually been a while since I've visited this site, so I thought I'd share a few that I came upon that were some beautiful photos paired with some good words.
Rob and I had a date night last night and found ourselves reflecting on a mission's trip we took with our youth to Mexico many years ago. We teamed up with a youth group and church down there and found some of our greatest memories ministering alongside them. For Rob he would admit that it took a bit for him to connect with the trip, but all it took was some male bonding (aka playful wrestling) on a bus ride with our new friends and Rob's sock thrown out the window...and then it started to click.
We visited various churches, towns and a school or two. The people were overwhelmingly kind. Rob ended up being some sort of a rock star to the girls at the school. It was so sweet and funny how the girls flocked to him but in such a respectful way. At that time he and I were dating, and I recall a group of girls asking me if it was okay that they took a picture with him. I remember someone even giving me their lip gloss in a way of saying thanks.
We reflected on the growth that came out of the trip. And talked about how when your sole focus is on God and serving and ministering, so much growth occurs within you spiritually. It's just bound to happen. It was a good reminder for us both.
The last part of the trip we reflected on were our visits to some of the poorest areas around the city. During this part of the trip, Rob met a little boy. He came up in our conversation last night. Rob couldn't remember his name, but it was Spanish for "little fish". He was named this because he was found by his adoptive parents in a barrel with some water in it.
We're going to print this picture to serve as a reminder of that trip and all the precious people we tried to serve who in turn served us as well. What's funny is those type of trips can be so hard in the midst of it, but in the end are so incredibly rewarding.
Yep, we were reminded that a part of our hearts were left in Mexico.
Happy new week everyone!

Coordination Communication
Author Bernard Manning once bought his kids a set of batteries for Christmas with a note on it that said, "Toy not included." While we may laugh out loud at this opposite instruction to what we usually find with battery operated items, Manning makes an outstanding spiritual point. Some of us spend inordinate amounts of time trying to figure out what the will of God is for our lives. We wonder where we fit in our congregations. We wring our hands over the words and best timing of our witness. When all along God is saying to us, "I've already given you the spiritual gifting, personality strengths, and life story to share with the world. You are the recipient of my power and I give it to you freely every day! Now please share that joy (the result of our toys) with others not because you have to, but because you want to based on how lavishly you have been loved, accepted & forgiven already!" This is my prayer and wish for you in 2010.

Brussels Justice in the Balance
Hugo Coveliers and Udo Ulfkotte
Today, Dr. Ulfkotte Sioe's representative met with lawyer Senator Hugo Coveliers, of the Raad van State (Council of State) the only Belgian institution that can annul Mayor Thieleman's ban on the SIOE demonstration.
The meeting got underway at 12.00 today, Tuesday 28th August.
SIOE has appealed about Mayor Thielemans's decision and has received help from Belgium's most respected lawyer, Senator Hugo Covaliers, who has taken up the case in the Raad van State.
Senator Hugo Coveliers expects an 80% chance that the Raad van State will support SIOE and declare Thielemans's prohibition illegal.
Not least, this is because the SIOE demonstration is absolutely non-violent and the Mayor was fearful of violence from illegal counter-demonstrators.
It is unreasonable to disallow European citizens to assemble in the EU's capital for the purpose of demonstrating against EU initiatives, simply because counter demonstrators might be violent.
We will publish up-to-date news from Belgium on this page during the day.

Home > Press > Workshops address safety and responsible development in Northern Europe's largest nanotechnology event
Safety and responsible development of nanotechnology are addressed by a strong group of experts in two dedicated workshops arranged during Nanotech Northern Europe 2007, 27-29 March, in Helsinki, Finland.
The use of nanotechnology in commercial products is growing rapidly. For example, the number of Finnish companies actively utilising nanotechnology has more than doubled in just two years. The expert discussion challenges that companies face in this extremely fast pace of developmen and how important it is to take into account issues of environment, health, safety and corporate responsibility.
The two safety workshops are arranged by the European Nanotechnology Trade Alliance (ENTA), VTT Technical Research Center of Finland and Spinverse Consulting, the lead organizer of Nanotech Northern Europe.
"Safety, above all else, should at the heart of nanotechnology development plans", stated Del Stark CEO of ENTA. "We must be responsible custodians of this exciting branch of science and ensure a fair framework that enables the EU to compete effectively on the world stage."
"Nanotech Northern Europe is a leading nanotechnology event in Europe and we see safety as a very important topic of the congress", Pekka Koponen, Managing Director of Spinverse said. "ENTA has a valuable role to play in the discussion on responsible nanotechnology development".
Nanotech Northern Europe is the largest Nanotechnology event in the region. Arranged now for the third time in Helsinki Finland, the congress brings together over 500 experts, industry representatives and investors from 40 countries. The parallel exhibition includes over 100 innovative companies.
Speaking at the workshops are:
Dr. Markus Pridoehl, Degussa
Degussa regards nanotechnology as an opportunity to help develop new products and efficient scientific and technological solutions, and so make essential contributions towards environmental protection, health and product quality.
Dr Terry Wilkins, NanoManufacturing Institue (NMI) University of Leeds
NMI's objective is to undertake fundamental and applied research focusing on the problems of scale-up and high throughput manufacturing of nano-enabled consumer products.
Stephan Schaller, triple innova and Nanometer developer
Nanologue's overarching objective was to help establish a common understanding concerning social, ethical and legal aspects of nanotechnology applications and to facilitate a Europe-wide dialogue among science, business and civil society about its benefits and potential impacts. The Nanometer allows researchers and product developers to carry out a brief societal assessment of nanotechnological applications prior to market release.
Christoph Meili, Die Innovationsgesellschaft
To meet new challenges, Die Innovationsgesellschaft and TÜV
SÜD have developed CENARIOS®, the first certifiable nanospecific risk management and monitoring system. The system will be implemented by mid 2007 with Buhler PARTEC.

Durango Council OKs extra funding for trail near Three Springs
This spring, the city of Durango plans to break ground on a section of pedestrian and cycling trail that will bring residents one mile closer to having a complete link between Three Springs and the Animas River Trail.
"I know that the Three Springs residents are anxious to have that," Councilor Dick White said.
The Durango City Council on Tuesday unanimously approved extra funding for the almost $3 million project.
The new one-mile portion of the SMART 160 Trail will connect the end of the trail at Davidson Creek Road to the portion of trail under the Grandview Interchange, also known as the Bridge to Nowhere.

Dive. Eat. Sleep.
Dive In
Roatan Dive Vacations
Roatan is well known as one of the best scuba diving destinations in the world. Thousands of divers are drawn to Roatan year after year, to experience her lush reefs, spectacular marine life and breathtaking walls.
It's hard to find just an average dive site anywhere on Roatan, but the best diving is at Roatan's East end. There is very little diving pressure here, and most days you won't see any other dive boats.
There are no Roatan dive resorts East of the Reef House. Dive sites that are out of reach for most Roatan dive operators are just a short boat ride from our private dock.
We're remote but not isolated. On rare days when weather limits diving on other parts of the island, our reefs are calm and accessible.
Most Experienced
The Reef House opened as a bone fishing lodge in the 1950's and was the first to host divers in 1971. The Reef House is Roatan's oldest dive resort. Dive with us and you'll see why so many divers keep coming back.
Most Pristine
There are no other dive operators East of The Reef House. Often, you'll dive for an entire week and only see one or two other dive boats… …if any. Our reefs are the most healthy and pristine you'll find anywhere on Roatan.
Most Friendly
Our home is your home. Really. We are there when you need us, but you are also welcome to serve yourself. It's like staying with
friends family, but with better food.
Come for the diving.
Stay for the vibe.
Our guests come to relax and spend time with friends, enjoy great diving and eat too much. It's awesome here–the kind of place where people come for the day and end up staying for a month.
Roatan Diving
Roatan diving is made up of dramatic walls with deep cracks and overhangs. These provide cover for countless fish species, lobsters, crabs and even the occasional cuttlefish. At most dive sites, the wall drops off abruptly from around 30 feet. Here, our reefs team with hard and soft corals, sea fans and massive sponges. If you keep a sharp eye out, you might spot a seahorse or two.

Free active service gospel
During the course of the First World War, the Scripture Gift Mission distributed 43 million copies of part of the Bible to serving soldiers. The extract which was chosen was from the New Testament, telling the story of Jesus' life, death and resurrection. It is known as the Gospel of John.
Some scorned it, some treasured it and many were changed by it. The battlefields were places where some lost their Christian faith and others found it.
The booklet was known as the Active Service Gospel. It measured 3 inches by 4 inches, and contained the text of the Bible in the King James Version, along with well known hymns and words of comfort.

Elaina's big prize !!
Now Elaina can finally carry her load around this house and help with repairs ! She has won her very own 205 piece tool set !! This afternoon our local lumber yard hosted an open house since it has been purchased by new owners. Eric needed some supplies and I hadn't ever been there even though it's right across the street. On top of that, they were serving hot dogs and refreshments and had door prizes. Lucky for us because I hadn't really felt the urge to cook lunch for us yet ( I did make marvelous french toast for breakfast) and we needed an excuse to take a walk and soak up the sunshine. Just as we arrived they were drawing names for the door prizes and encouraged me to sign up. I quickly ran over and filled out entries for the three of us and they allowed me to slip them in the box just before the next name was pulled. Imagine my surprise when they drew Elaina's name !! She won a tool set ! Yes, it was just what she needed - we would have never thought to get that for her on our own.
We happily claimed her prize and celebrated by chowing down on some hot dogs, chips and cookies. As we enjoyed our picnic and visited with some friends, they drew the next batch of names. ERIC !! He won a 100 foot, heavy duty extension cord ! Exactly what he needed ! In the same round of lucky winners, last but not least, they drew my name. Yes ! I won a leather billed logo hat and a giant yellow car magnet to support our troops. The hat got passed on to a friend of ours but the magnet is still up for dibs. What a lucky day !

CIPHE warns of industry pension woes
Published: 06 September, 2017
With auto-enrolment into the workplace pension now in full swing, the Chartered Institute of Plumbing & Heating Engineering (CIPHE) is giving the following advice to make sure employers are aware of their auto-enrolment responsibilities.
Kevin Wellman, chief executive officer of CIPHE, warned: "There is still some confusion surrounding the new workplace pension schemes. Even if you employ just one person, you are responsible for both providing a pension scheme and paying into it. For many SME's this might be seen as an extra burden on top of the heavy demands of running a business. However, with the regulators prepared to crack down on non-conforming companies, it really is time to get your pension plans in action."
As it stands, any employee who meets the following criteria qualifies for auto-enrolment into a workplace pension:
- Aged between 22 and the current state pension age
- Earning a minimum of £10,000 a year
- Working in the UK.
Those who don't fulfill this criteria on either age or wage grounds can still join a work pension scheme, however employers don't have to contribute to it if they earn less than £490 per month, or £113 per week, or £452 per four weeks.
All employers will have to provide a workplace pension scheme for their employees by April 2018. Employees can opt out of the scheme after auto-enrolment if they wish.
Kevin continued: "Compared to the public sector (where pensions are seen as the norm) the construction industry has a lot of catching up to do. There is some resistance towards enforced workplace pensions, but they shouldn't just be seen as an extra cost to businesses without any benefits. The savvy businessman will recognise that a decent pension can be great for employee retention and for attracting real talent during the recruitment process. A recent study by the Department for Work and Pensions showed workplace pensions to be the second most valued benefit from an employer to the employee. To those new industry entrants, paying into a pension will be the norm – they no longer see a state pension as a viable option to live off and will be expecting to pay pension contributions."
As an employer, failure to comply with your responsibilities for providing a workplace pension may incur the following fines and punishments:
- Fixed Penalty Notice: A fine of £400 if you don't comply with statutory notices, or if there's sufficient evidence of a breach of the law
- Escalating Penalty Notice: Failure to comply with a statutory notice. A prescribed daily rate of £50 to £10,000 depending on the number of staff
- Prohibited Recruitment Conduct Penalty notice: Failure to comply with a compliance notice or sufficient evidence that a breach has been committed. This fine ranges from £1,000 to £5,000
- A Civil Penalty: Incurred for failure to pay contributions, resulting in a fine of up to £5,000 for an individual and up to £50,000 in any other case.
- Two years in prison for wilful and continued neglect.
Employees must also contribute to their pension so, from the employee's point of view, they will see their wages drop as soon as they start to pay into a pension. It's vital that they understand this and that they plan for that drop in income. The good news is that paying into a pension does come with tax benefits, as payments made into a pension plan are deducted before tax is applied. For every pound paid into a workplace pension by an employee, they get an extra £1.50 topped up, so it really is free money in the long term.
Workplace pensions - The Facts:
Employers must currently pay at least 1% of their employee's 'qualifying earnings' into a workplace pension. This will rise to 2% in the next tax year and 3% in 2019 (if approved by Parliament)
Employees must currently pay in at least 1% of their 'qualifying earnings' into a workplace pension. This will rise to 3% in the next tax year and 5% in 2019 (if approved by Parliament)
Qualifying earnings can be worked out as either:
- The amount an employee earns before tax between £5,876 and £45,000 a year
- Their entire salary or wages before tax
Employers must:
- Pay in the minimum contributions to the pension scheme on time
- Let employees leave the pension scheme (called 'opting out') if they so ask. Employers also have to refund any money the employee has paid in, if they opt out within 1 month of joining
- Let employees rejoin the scheme at least once a year if they've opted out
- Enrol employees back in once every three years, if they've opted out and they are still eligible for automatic enrolment.

Despise not the chastening of the Lord . . .--Comp. Job 5:17. A wonderful advance beyond the teaching of the Pentateuch: e.g., Deuteronomy 28, in which the Jews had to be treated as children, and punishment or reward follow as the immediate consequence of bad or good behaviour. Under such a discipline misfortune could only be regarded as a punishment, a sign of God's displeasure; but now a further manifestation of His dealings with man is made. When He sends trouble upon His children, He is no longer to be regarded as an offended father punishing their faults, but as one who in love is correcting them. Even the New Testament quotes these words with approval, and without adding anything to their teaching (Hebrews 12:5-13). There it is shown how all God's children must, without exception, submit to this discipline.Verse 11. - My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord. The teacher, in vers. 11 and 12, passes to another phase of life. The thought of prosperity suggests the opposite one of adversity. Abundant prosperity shall flow from honouring Jehovah, but he sometimes and not unfrequently sends affliction, and, indeed, without this life would be incomplete. The object of the exhortation is, as Delitzsch states, to show that, as in prosperity God should not be forgotten, so one should not suffer himself to be estranged by days of adversity. Submission is counselled on the ground that, when Jehovah afflicts, he does so in the spirit of love, and for good. The "chastening" and "correction," though presenting God in an attitude of anger, are in reality not the punishment of an irate God. The verse before us is evidently copied from Job 5:17, "Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth, therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty;" and the whole passage is cited again in the Epistle to the Hebrews (Hebrews 12:5, 6). It has been said that ver. 11 expresses the problem of the Book of Job, and ver. 12 its solution (Delitzsch). Despise not (al-timas); Vulgate, ne abjicias; LXX., μὴ ὀλιγώρει. The verb mass is first "to reject," and then "to despise and contemn." The Targum Jonathan puts the thought in a stronger form, ne execreris, "do not curse." They despise the chastening of Jehovah who, when they see his hand in it, do not humbly and submissively bow, but resist and become refractory, or, as it is expressed in Proverbs 19:3, when their "heart fretteth against the Lord." Job, notwithstanding his bitter complaints, was on the whole, and in his better moments, an example of the proper state of mind under correction (see Job 1:21; Job 2:10). Jonah, in treating contemptuously the procedure of God, is an exemplification of the contrary spirit, which is condemned implicitly in the text (Wardlaw). Chastening (musar); i.e. correction not by reproof only, as in Proverbs 6:23 and Proverbs 8:30; but by punishment also. as in Proverbs 13:24; Proverbs 22:15. The meaning here is expressed by the LXX. παιδεία, which is "instruction by punishment," discipline, or schooling (cf. Vulgate, disciplina). Neither be weary (al-takots); i.e. do not loathe, abhor, feel disgust nor vexation towards. The expression, "do not loathe," is a climax to the other, "despise not." It represents a more deeply seated aversion to Jehovah's plans. Gesenius takes the primary meaning of kuts to be that of vomiting. The word before us certainly denotes loathing or nausea, and is used in this sense by the Israelites in their complaints against God and against Moses in Numbers 21:5 (cf. Genesis 27:46). The writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews, in quoting the passage, adopts the LXX. reading, μὴ ὀκλύου, "nor faint;" Vulgate, ne deficias, i.e. "do not give way to despondency." Correction. This word, like musar above, has a twofold meaning of either punishment or chastening, as in Psalm 73:14; or reproof, as in Proverbs 1:23; 25:30; 5:12; 27:5; 29:15, where it also occurs. It is here used in the former sense. To loathe the correction of Jehovah is to allow it to completely estrange us from him. We faint under it when, by dwelling on or brooding over, or bemoaning the trial, the spirit sinks to faintness. To faint at correction ignores the belief in the truth that "all things work together for good to them that love God." Proverbs 3:12. These words are cited in Hebrews 12:5, and are represented as an exhortation, spoken unto children, the children of God; by which it appears, that not any single person is meant by "my son"; and, as not here, so neither elsewhere in this book, where the same phrase is used. It is not to be limited to any son of Solomon's according to the flesh; nor to any person or persons, that applied to him for instruction, and were taught by him; nor to all the people of God in his time: but it has respect to the Jews in the times of the apostles; and even to all the children of God in all ages, who more or less endure afflictions, here called "the chastening of the Lord", because they are from him; whatever concern men or devils, or second causes, may have in them, they are originally from the Lord, either sent or suffered by him; they are indeed by his appointment, and are ordered, limited, and restrained by him, and are overruled for his glory and his people's good: they are not chastisements in a way of vindictive wrath and justice, which would be contrary to the satisfaction of Christ, the justice of God, his everlasting and unchangeable love, and to his word and oath; but they are in love; they are the chastisements of a father, in which he deals with them as with children; and uses them for the good discipline and instruction of them, as the word (r) here signifies; and therefore not to be "despised", or loathed and abhorred, as disagreeable food or physic be; or as if they were unnecessary and unprofitable, or unworthy of notice and regard; or as little, slight, and trifling things, without considering from whence they come and for what they are sent; but, on the contrary, should be regarded as useful and serviceable; see Job 5:17;
neither be weary of his correction; "rebuke" or "reproof" (s); so in Hebrews 12:5; "when thou art rebuked of him", not in wrath and fury, but in love, as before. The same thing is meant by correction as chastening; and supposes a fault to be committed by him that is corrected, for God corrects none but for sin; and authority in the corrector, which he, as the Father of spirits, and as our covenant God and Father in Christ, has a right to do: he corrects by his Spirit, by his word, by his ministers, and by his providences, afflictive ones, which last is here meant; and it is always for good, at a proper time, and when necessary, in measure and with judgment: and of this the children should not be "weary", as grievous and intolerable; and especially should not be weary of their lives on account of it, in which sense the word is used in Genesis 27:46 which has been the case of Job and others; but should bear it quietly and peaceably, and with patience, without fretting and murmuring; or should not "faint", as it is rendered in Hebrews 12:5; or sink under the weight, but cheerfully support under it. The two extremes, which men are apt to run into, are here guarded against; on the one hand, to make little or nothing of an affliction; to outbrave it, not to be affected with it, nor humble under the mighty hand of God; nor consider the rod, and him that has appointed it: and, on the other hand, to aggravate an affliction, as if no sorrow was like theirs, and to be quite dejected and overwhelmed with it.

I heard Lilly Ledbetter speaking at the DNC. It was disturbing. The impact she had – via the law named after her – is, if anything, exactly the opposite of what she and the legislators intended (which is certainly noble in spirit).
Lives – the lives of business owners and employees – are now being controlled by unseen forces in Washington to achieve an outcome that is economically impossible. (To make it even worse, the law attempts to remedy a situation which almost certainly doesn't even exist.) The very long arm of government will get you, whether you're looking or not.
