OKLAHOMA CITY — Shawnee jumped out to a 33-16 halftime lead and was never threatened in rolling over Western Heights 69-35 Friday night.
Ten Wolves scored with four finishing in double figures — Isaiah Willis with 14, Jaylon Orange 11 and DeAndre Love and J'Briell Easley 10 apiece.
Willis was 6 of 8 from the field while Love was 5 of 8. Orange was 5 of 9.
Shawnee captured the rebounding war, 43-27, as AJ Howard led the way with 10, eight coming on the defensive end. Carson McKay pulled down seven rebounds.
Phillip Washington was the only Western Heights' double-figure scorer with 12.
Shawnee also recorded 17 assists to just four for the Jets. Tyler Huebert had four assists.
The Wolves were just 2 of 18 from 3-point range for 16 percent but went 32 of 48 from 2-point range for 67 percent.
Western Heights also faltered from outside, hitting 4 of 27 treys for 15 percent. Gerardo Chairez had three of those treys for his nine points.
Shawnee will entertain Piedmont Tuesday.
The Shawnee-Western Heights matchup was cancelled when the hosts didn't have enough available players.

It's second coming for the Hyosung Aquila 250. But does it have enough oomph to make a case for itself? We did the Hyosung Aquila 250 to find out the answer.
The average Indian biking consumer only has the Royal Enfield to choose from in the entry-level cruiser segment. At the other end of the spectrum, they have to pay big bucks for premium cruisers from brands like Harley-Davidson, Triumph, and now, Indian. DSK Hyosung intends to change that with the Hyosung Aquila 250 which is priced at `3.15 lakhs, on-road, Delhi. Although it's far removed from a 'basic' entry-level cruiser, it still sits at the lower end of the cruiser segment.
The all-new for India Hyosung Aquila 250 isn't what you would call a big burly cruiser given its size, but it is a good-looking piece of machinery – and to add to the bling, it's got so much chrome on it that it can blind you. When I first rode the bike, I was literally blinded because even the instrument cluster is fitted onto a massive piece of chrome that reflected the sunlight right into my eyes. The fuel tank, on the other hand, is nice and big – and that adds to the bike's muscular look. However, given the overall dimensions and the overstated styling, the Hyosung Aquila 250 is like a short man with big muscles.
During our Hyosung Aquila 250, we found that the bike is pretty low and has a long wheelbase, and the seat is quite comfortable – making for a really good riding position. The legs stretch out in proper cruiser style and your hands sit nicely ahead of your upper abdomen on the handlebars. This riding position, with its proximity to the ground, makes the Hyosung Aquila 250 extremely easy to handle even in congested city streets.And its low weight of just 179 kilograms makes it hassle free when maneuvering through traffic. That's what makes the Aquila a capable city bike. You can even make sharp U-turns without much effort.
Plus, the power delivery of the Aquila's engine is perfect for Indian cities – it's not overpowering by any stretch, but, equally, it's not underpowered either. The Hyosung Aquila 250 comes with India's smallest capacity V-twin engine, which is a 75-degree, 249cc oil-cooled unit. I was also quite surprised with the refinement of the engine – and with 26bhp and 21Nm of torque, the bike performs surprisingly well. The throttle response is quite enticing, and the 5-speed manual transmission works well. The clutch is also quite light – another plus for city riding – and the gearshifts are nice and smooth.
In our Hyosung Aquila 250, we also realised that the overall engineering of the Aquila is quite good, and it can be a capable highway cruiser as well. The suspension is slightly on the stiffer side, and although it did function over rough roads quite nicely, it still doesn't absorb all of the impact and could be a tad softer to improve ride comfort. The brakes could also have been a little better – the front disc is adequate, but our test bike was squealing like it was being tortured. And you do really need to press down hard on the pedal for the rear drum to work to full effect.
As an entry-level cruiser though, the Hyosung Aquila 250 leans towards the premium segment as far as its pricing goes. But, then again, it does have the looks – and the levels of engineering are quite good. The largest issue with the bike, though, is its pricing. So, the main question that remains to be answered is if the Indian consumer is ready for a 250cc cruiser at a premium price?

What do your visitors think regarding your store once they are greeted because of your staff? Tend to be they amazed or horrified? Are your own employees comfy engaging your visitors or perform they prevent them? Are these people dressed professionally and therefore are they simple to spot? Among the things I've always thought how the big container stores perform right would be to outfit their own staff along with uniforms so they are simple to spot any place in the shop. Is it possible for your customers to recognize your workers or perform they seem like another client? Worse nevertheless, do your own employees stick out too a lot? Do they've a myriad of tattoos or even face piercings which will make a person customers look and tremble their mind?
Is your own staff pleasant and helpful? Do these people greet your visitors in the sincere method or perform they simply ignore all of them until these people leave? I possess a client the master of numerous successful clothes stores. A couple of years ago, I keep in mind being inside a meeting along with him whenever he lamented bitterly about how exactly bad company was when compared to previous 12 months; and there have been no financial forces which warranted their drop within sales. And so i decided to complete my part to aid my customer and patronize among his stores during my neighborhood. It did not take me personally long to determine why their sales had been slumping. I walked to the store to become greeted through someone known as "nobody. " No one was in front of the actual store. Nobody was obtainable in and between the merchandise. Nobody was in front counter, prepared to answer my personal questions. There is, however, a number of employees huddled together at the back of the store close to the change areas – them all chatting with one another and them all ignoring each and every customer within the store. From one stage, one from the customers contacted the team and requested some help. They all looked over each additional, as if to express "OK, who may be the unlucky sucker that will have to consider this 1? " Curious to discover how long I possibly could go without having to be approached by among the sale repetitions, I chose to cruise down and up each section and examine every bit of merchandise within the store — both ladies and mens. I spent a lot more than 30 minutes and never once do someone arrive over and get if they might help me personally. Needless to express I remaining empty-handed. The following day I known as my customer and informed him regarding my terrible experience.
The good thing is that my personal client required action immediately. He set up remote monitoring cameras in most his shops so now he is able to see exactly what his staff are doing anytime – from his workplace. More significantly, he centered on re-training their staff to exhibit improve that they provide customer support and he eliminated the employees which were slackers as well as were motivating other personnel to mistake off. Right now, when you enter one associated with his shops, you tend to be greeted through friendly personnel that cannot do enough that will help you find what you are searching for. Sales possess increased significantly and he's continuing in order to open brand new stores.
Obviously your personnel should engage your visitors in an amiable way, and also have great item knowledge. But that's not always sufficient; they should also know how to proceed in unique situations. How might your personnel handle an electrical outage? Would these people just remain around taking a look at each additional or might do they understand what the proper procedure would be to handle customers with this situation; how about a fireplace alarm? What about something less complicated, and more prevalent, like a good irate client? How might your staff cope with a negative customer who'll not depart until he/she gets satisfaction? Whenever you aren't close to, have a person empowered your own staff to take care of these circumstances with courtesy and resolve your clients' problems; or perform they just let them know they cannot do anything and provide them your own name?
How about at the idea Of Purchase? Your check-out counter-top is where your visitors form their own last, and frequently most vibrant, impression of the business. Do your own staff understand how to operate the actual POS program properly as well as efficiently so the payment procedure is fast and painless for that customer? Have you got long line-ups? If that's the case, are your personnel trained to reduce the aggravation or anger your visitors experience due to waiting within line, or perform they simply ignore this and become scared small rabbits that will not make attention contact? Nothing clicks me off a lot more than having to hold back in collection, except suffering an unfavorable cashier after I've been stuck waiting around in collection.
If the final impression your visitors have of the experience inside your store is really a bad 1, what would be the chances that they'll come back again? Who cares if you're the just store inside 50 kilometers that offers your kind of merchandise? In case your customers depart your shop feeling such as they did a favor through buying your own products, next period they might easily make the actual 50 kilometer drive for your competitor – particularly if the competitor's personnel make your visitors feel great about buying from their store. At minimum, your clients will try to look for the exact same products on the web – they might not obtain much when it comes to customer support, but these people aren't obtaining any out of your store anyhow.
If you are not 100% sure that your clients think your own employees tend to be great, here are some ideas you should use right now to maximise your clients' experience together with your staff.
1. Purchase your staff brand new shirts or even uniforms together with your store name in it; make all of them similar however you like and exactly the same color. Better yet, put your own store logo in it. If you do not have a plan for new clothes, print away name tags together with your company logo in it and distribute these phones each worker. It's embarrassing whenever your customers incorrectly identify an additional customer like a staff member and get them the question regarding your items. Your personnel should stick out and ought to be easily recognized.
2. Make certain they maintain their clothing cleaned plus they don't appear for use yesterday's spaghetti unsightly stains. Buy a good iron as well as an ironing board to ensure that, if these people come to utilize a old and wrinkly shirt, they may iron it prior to going on the ground. If your own store offers apparel, you most likely have the steamer for the merchandise – make certain your personnel uses it on the clothes as well. Make certain your personnel knows that they're expected to reach with thoroughly clean and pushed clothes. Keep a few extra shirts within the back just in case a employee comes to utilize a filthy shirt, then help to make him/her become it as well as deduct the actual dry cleaning using their paycheck. (Don't make sure they are pay for that dry cleaning when they got dirty at the office and needed to change t shirts. )#)
3. The entire image of the staff talks volumes regarding you as well as your store. What your own staff wear once they are no longer working isn't all of your business. But that they look as well as act once they are employed in your store Is the business. Avoid ridiculous displays associated with tattoos or even face piercings (if you don't operate the tattoo shop. )#) Crazy hair colours and hairstyles may appear great within an art gallery or perhaps a hair salon however they have room in the pet shop or present shop. Make certain the picture your personnel presents for your customer is in line with the image you would like reflected of the company.
four. Make certain your personnel are accessible and also have lots of product understanding. Never possess new staff on the ground without a minumum of one senior employee. It is something to end up being friendly as well as presentable your employees should also have the ability to answer your own customers' queries; and when they can't, then they have to know finding the solutions. It's a great bet that lots of of your own suppliers will be thrilled in the future in as well as teach your own staff regarding their items – why is them much better and that they compare towards the competition. Have normal product understanding meetings that concentrate on a specific manufacturer product line. Invite your own suppliers to become guests from these conferences.
5. Make certain everyone that uses the money register (or even POS Program) is actually properly educated on using the system and also the laws regarding charge card processing. Make certain they understand what all the actual possible mistake messages imply. Give them the power, and train them exactly how, to correctly reset/reboot the money register/POS Program – this can fix 90% of technical difficulties. (I understand this simply because I've caused POS gear for a lot more than 20 many years. )#)
6. There's nothing more embarrassing to some customer than the usual failed charge card transaction. It is sometimes the client's fault, but it is sometimes the fault of the system. Make sure all your staff understand how to tell the actual difference and provide them a few techniques they are able to use in order to dissipate the actual customer's aggravation and shame.
7. If a person collect any type of customer information in the Point Associated with Sale (check-out counter-top) make certain your personnel collect and make use of the information subtly. Nobody loves to be requested their telephone number and tackle when others are directly in it listening.
8. Make sure everybody knows how to approach customer complaints and provide them the actual authority to supply solutions. It may cost a bit in advance, but it'll return to you 10 times more than in client loyalty. At the minimum, your employees ought to be friendly as well as courteous below all problems. They ought to take every single customer problem seriously and really should tell the client that they'll personally follow-up using the manager/owner to ensure a resolution is located. If you've the spending budget, pay for any customer support consultant in the future in and placed on a course about how to deal with customer issues properly.
My spouse once explained a stating that your woman learned from the favorite cousin of hers: "people might not remember that which you said for them but they'll always remember the way you made all of them feel. " That's this type of powerful concept. Are your own employees making your visitors feel great about shopping inside your store?

Felipe Costa Biography
Felipe Costa was born in Rio de Janeiro on the 17th of September 1978. The fan of the Fluminense soccer team first started training Jiu-Jitsu in 1991 for self-defense purposes, but soon the sporting side got Felipe's attention and dedication. Rodrigo Comprido was one of the first coaches of Mr. Costa, an instructor that stood by him through the ranks, awarding him all his belts, including his black belt in 2002.
Felipe's success in recent years came as a surprise to most in the BJJ community as no other competitor had ever won a World Championship in the black belt division, without having ever placed on a podium of a major competition prior to receiving his black belt. Felipe had competed before in the lower belt divisions but had never won a major tournament (Mundials, Pan Am, Europeans, etc).
In 2010 Felipe launched a series of online episodes called "Felipe 30+" in which he shows his path to the World Championships (the Mundial) after an injury which caused a prolonged absence from training. The episodes show a bit of how Felipe programs his recovery and follows the plan while showing a little of his private life, and had an amazing acceptance from the BJJ community (see the videos of episodes below).
After being interviewed for this article, Felipe said: "I would like to invite everyone to train BJJ in Rio de Janeiro, I have here the BJJ CAMP and the Brazilian Black Belt EXPERIENCE, it's a program perfect for people interested in visiting Brazil for tourism and learn BJJ. Check out the info at www.BrazilianBlackBelt.com". If you are thinking about going to Rio de Janeiro, this is an amazing opportunity to take for any BJJ'er of any caliber, from white to black belt.

The Start-up Timeline Requires Patience and Agility
Documenting company history and decisions and making that available to new hires. Mike encourages new hires to go back one year or even 18 months to catch up. He and Anum both embrace the 100-day success plan for new hires. Since her company, Acciyo, is so new, it's currently at a 7-day success plan with a linked document filled with resources to better understand the logic. There is a lot of information stored in your head, but the more you can get out there to be consumed by those on your team the better and makes them more successful. Learn from them both in this episode.
She's embracing being patient and knowing there is going to be a lot of integration opportunity coming. But now, her storytelling abilities are fully implemented to pitch for funding. A start-up is an entirely different timeline and task list. Listen in to see what she's learned about herself and how she's had to dial back those 60-slide decks to get their initial interest. The old saying, "Just tell me the time, not how to make the watch." You'll enjoy her interview and start-up story.
Anum shares mistakes to avoid embracing agility include:
The best way to make sure everyone knew how decisions were made was to create a spreadsheet with the hierarchy. At first, it seemed that it made them agile with the transparency, but really it hurt morale because everyone could see what their standing was. Also, no one could make a decision quickly.
Another example was that it was determined to switch focus to another area, tasks got dumped on me so I had to switch - being agile, I did. But what was left out was the WHY the switch in focus needed to happen.
Transparency and Agility - everyone interprets them in different ways. Listen in to hear a clearer definition.
About Mike's guest:
Anum started her career studying journalism and reporting for The Boston Globe. She pivoted to growth marketing at HubSpot, where she grew with the company for five years from startup to publicly-traded. She then decided to find a way to marry her passion for media and technology through an MBA at MIT, which opened up opportunities at Snapchat, Rough Draft Ventures, and more. Now, she's running her own startup, Acciyo, while working on a number of creative projects that help elevate minorities in tech and media.

Paul Daugherty: Cincinnati Reds waiting to call up Nick Senzel shows absurdity of baseball
Most people would tell you Nick Senzel is a better baseball player than Alex Blandino. Everyone but Blandino's fan clubbers, and even they might have to think about it. We offer this with all due respect to Blandino, who started at third base for the Reds in Philadelphia Tuesday night. May he have a long and prosperous MLB career.
He ain't Senzel.
And yet the Reds called up Blandino when Eugenio Suárez got his thumb busted. This is because if they'd have called up Senzel before April 14 or so, they'd risk losing a year of controlling him. What's another week of waiting, right? Not much when compared to having Senzel an entire extra year. The Club isn't very good, anyway.
Makes perfect sense.
Unless you want your team playing its best players.
Get the latest Reds news. Download our app.
Can we suggest now without fear of contradiction that Nick Senzel is among the Reds Top 25?
The argument is more philosophical than realistic. And truthfully, Senzel isn't a great example. He will be here later this week, which could be wonderful in the short term, if only to give fans someone to hope on. "We want to inject a spark into the club,'' Reds General Manager Dick Williams said.
Long-term, Senzel doesn't have a position. Some of us would try him at shortstop yesterday, but we don't run ball teams or ballgames for a living.
Senzel has a chance to be a 22-year-old walking reason to believe. He has a chance to flip the Reds summer script. Senzel also has a chance to be returned to Louisville when Eugenio Suarez is healthy. The bigger point is, Baseball again encourages bad teams to stay that way, until those teams are sure they can be good.
The notion of economics meaning more than fielding your best team regardless of your place in the standings ought to be irksome to every fan. On some level, it's messing with the integrity of the sport itself.
"It's an OK system, but it is regressive,'' says baseball agent Brian Goldberg. "There's got to be something better. I wish I were intelligent enough to come up with it.''
Williams, for his part, said "I don't anticipate economics driving our decision.''
Nobody gets worked up about the way things are. It's accepted it as the cost of doing business. Why? Just because it's common doesn't mean it's right. It's another example of Baseball's awkward economics, where tanking is a strategy and leaving a major-league player in the minors is an accepted business practice.
This happens everywhere, all the time. It's happening in Atlanta, where the Braves have a 20-year-old outfielder named Ronald Acuna sitting in the minors. Acuna is seen as a bigger can't-miss than Senzel. Maybe he'll be up April 14. Or maybe the Braves will wait two more days, April 16, when they return for a homestand.
More Doc:Patrick Reed silences his doubters at the Masters
More Doc:Xavier in good hands with new coach Travis Steele
More Doc:Darius Bazley's G League gamble will have fallout for years to come
It's easy to argue for keeping Senzel on a bus. Why bring him up a week before you have to, and lose that precious year of control?
I dunno. Maybe to win a game or two?
It's naive to suggest that if you're in the business of charging a fee to watch your employees perform, you might want to put your best employees out there on the field as much as possible.
That doesn't make sense in MLB, where you're either contending or you're retrenching, then regrouping. If you're contending, you try to win. If you're not contending, you want to win. But you don't need to. Your whole season is one big asterisk.
(*) Wanted to win, but were OK with losing.
There's bit of a comfort level in this. Especially if your team is retrenching. When greatness is out of the question, there's no need to attempt greatness.
The Phillies lost for several years. This year, they think they can win. They bought three years of Jake Arrieta for $75 million. They're renting Carlos Santana for three seasons at $60 million. The hope/belief is that sometime in the not-too-distant future, the Reds will take the same path.
Meantime, feel free to wonder about an economic system that encourages a team to keep its best prospect – and very likely one of its 25 best players – down on the farm.

Cubs in Harpenden presented a cheque for £615 to the Harpenden-based charity Spotlight on Africa.
Cubs from 10th Harpenden Swift Pack organised stands, stalls and games and sold home-made cakes, hand-made key rings and ran all manner of activities during a special Enterprise Evening at their HQ.
Each Six (team) competed for customers and for profit. The funds raised will go towards a much needed First Aid kit, tents, uniforms, a flag and other equipment for the Scout group in Musoto, a slum in eastern Uganda.
District Scout commissioner Russell Brooks said: "Swift Pack Cubs should be proud of their achievements. Their contributions are going to make a really positive, long-lasting difference to the children of Musoto."
Wendy Howson from Spotlight on Africa said: "It was truly inspiring to see the enthusiasm and support by the Harpenden Cubs for children of the same age who live in deprived conditions in a slum outside Mbale and who have formed a Scout group there.
"We are all deeply grateful for such a generous donation!"

Longest Ride – Nicholas Sparks
Two couples. Two love stories. One epic tale.
Ninety-one-year-old Ira Levinson is in trouble. Struggling to stay conscious after a car crash, an image of his adored – and long-dead – wife Ruth appears. Urging him to hang on, she lovingly recounts the joys and sorrows of their life together – how they met, the dark days of WWII and its unrelenting effect on their families.
A few miles away, college student Sophia Danko's life is about to change. Recovering from a break-up, she meets the young, rugged Luke and is thrown into a world far removed from her privileged school life. Sophia sees a new and tantalising future for herself, but Luke is keeping a secret that could destroy it all.
Ira and Ruth. Sophia and Luke. Two couples, separated by years and experience, whose lives are about to converge in the most unexpected – and shocking – of ways.
The new love story from the multi-million-copy bestselling author of The Notebook, The Lucky One and The Best of Me. Nicholas Sparks is one of the world's most beloved authors.

December 2007 sales of antiques and collectibles show 19% increase over 2006
TIAS.com today released data for their December 2007 sales of antiques and collectibles, which show a 19% upturn in sales volume when compared to December of 2006. TIAS.com has tracked online sales data for the antiques and collectibles merchants within their online mall since 1995. Their data is based thousands of transactions that took place on the Web sites of hundreds of TIAS merchants.
Many Internet based antiques & collectibles merchants have reported significant decreases in online sales volume over the past 3 years. The December 2007 increase is important because it is the first significant sign the antiques and collectibles market may be recovering. At the height of the online market for antiques and collectibles from 1998 to 2004 there appeared to be a "gold rush" attitude about making money online. It seemed that everyone was dumping merchandise onto the Web, hoping to make a quick buck. This worked for a while, but as the market became flooded with inventory. On-line and off-line merchants were forced to lower their prices to compete.
"What we have witnessed is that many merchants just pulled out of the market entirely because they could not get the returns they needed to stay in business. Brick and mortar antique shops and malls have closed at an alarming rate. We've also seen a large number of On-line merchants just pull out of the market completely" said Phillip Davies President of TIAS.com "These new December numbers may signify that the devastating market correction we have witnessed over the past 3 years, is finally coming to an end."
A good indication that December 2007 numbers represent a market shift, will be the TIAS.com sales volume results for January 2008. TIAS.com will have these numbers in early February and will post another report at that time.
Accredited media interested in scheduling an interview to discuss this press release or other issues related to the online sale of antiques and collectibles are encouraged to contact Phillip Davies at [email protected] or call 1-516-294-3161
About TIAS
TIAS serves approximately 160,000 unique customers a day. About 530 merchants sell through the TIAS system, listing well over half a million items for sale online. The company has been building e-commerce systems for merchants who sell antiques and collectibles since 1995.

Eulogio Garcia Sanchez, 53, of Oxnard was killed in a vehicle versus pedestrian accident Sept. 3 after a car hit him as he was walking in an unmarked crosswalk, the Ventura County Star reports. Sanchez was reportedly walking across C Street at the corner of Elm Street when a pickup truck heading southbound struck him, Oxnard police officials said. The driver of the pickup, who has not yet been identified, stopped immediately and called 911.
Sanchez reportedly died at the scene of the Oxnard pedestrian accident. The driver told police that he saw Sanchez "at the last minute" and couldn't avoid hitting him. Investigators have ruled out speed, drugs or alcohol as factors in this pedestrian accident. The driver has neither been arrested nor cited.
My heartfelt condolences to the family of Eulogio Sanchez.
It is still too early to tell exactly what happened or what caused this accident. The driver did what he should've done – stopped immediately and called 911. But I would be interested to see what caused him to strike Sanchez. In this case, the pedestrian was crossing at an "unmarked crosswalk," which is the portion of the roadway at an intersection 10-feet wide that would connect opposite sides of the street. Every intersection contains legal crosswalks; marked or unmarked.
Cities make an argument against marked crosswalks saying that they create a false sense of security for pedestrians, meaning that pedestrians may step into a marked crosswalk without considering that oncoming drivers may not stop. But the other side of this issue is that unmarked crosswalks mislead drivers into thinking that pedestrians do not have the right of way. Any California licensed driver who has read his or her California Driver Handbook should know that pedestrians ALWAYS have the right of way. Here is a direct statement from the handbook: Always stop for any pedestrian crossing at corners or other crosswalks.
I would strongly urge Sanchez's family to contact a well-established Southern California personal injury lawyer, who will help investigate this accident and determine who was responsible for Sanchez's death. The Sanchez family has suffered a tremendous loss and deserves rightful compensation. If I were representing the family, I would also look into why the city of Oxnard did not paint a crosswalk at that intersection. If they have been ignoring a dangerous condition at that location, they may be liable for the accident. Sanchez's family would be well advised to act quickly because any claim against a California governmental agency must be filed within six months of the incident.

2016 Chevrolet Spark Redesign, Release and ChangesCategory : Chevrolet
2016 Chevrolet Spark Redesign, Release and Changes – Welcome to Futurecarrelease.com, this time I will give information about the world, namely the Chevrolet. More precisely 2016 Chevrolet Spark will be present in the world car market by 2016. I will present information about the 2016 Chevrolet Spark is about a review, release date, price, specs and engine. Congratulations read something about the information that I have prepared, and if you want to know the latest updates about the latest cars visit the blog Futurecarrelease.com.
Chevrolet's zippy Spark minicar was a fun little runabout before, but was a little too goofy and cramped for some to consider for a daily runabout. Thankfully, the Spark gets a total, more sophisticated redesign for 2016 that looks like it improves the vehicle without losing any of its charm.
The fully redesigned 2016 Chevy Spark was unveiled at the New York International Auto Show this week. The new Spark features a more powerful engine, a longer wheelbase, newly available safety features and updated interior and exterior styling.
The new Spark has a sleeker appearance, thanks to a slightly longer wheelbase, and an overall height about 1.6 inches (40 mm) lower than the current model. The lower profile reduces aerodynamic drag to help improve efficiency and interior changes maintain the Spark's traditionally generous headroom.
It is also built on an all-new, more robust architecture that serves as the foundation for its more sophisticated driving experience. The stronger body structure enabled engineers to tune ride and handling more precisely, for greater feelings of control and refinement, while fostering a quieter ride.
"At its core, the new Spark is still the fun, agile urban car that made the first-generation model so popular, but it delivers that fun driving experience with greater sophistication," said Sam Basile, executive chief engineer. "And while it's a truly global car, it is targeted for more developed vehicle markets, allowing engineers to focus more precisely on the materials and technologies that resonate with customers in those markets."
2016 Chevrolet Spark Price
Pricing for the new 2016 Chevrolet Spark has been set at $30,110 – $40,600 based on current exchange rates. If there are changes on the 2016 Chevrolet Spark we will notify you as soon as possible, so keep follow our blog.
2016 Chevrolet Spark Release Date
The little Spark has been somewhat of a surprising entry in the modern Chevy lineup in the US. Given its diminutive stature, you might have expected the slightly larger Sonic to cannibalize the tiny sibling's sales, but that hasn't happened. The Bowtie moved 39,159 Sparks in the US in 2014, a 14.7 percent boost from the previous year. Now at the 2015 New York Auto Show, the latest generation is being unveiled with a new engine and much improved styling.

Can be the graphics earlier mentioned might be guide and ideas on your time. Certainly you will be able see stunning images for 2016 Chevrolet Spark Changes And Redesign including close-up photos from exterior as well interior features. Just want to inform everything you need to know about 2016 Chevrolet Spark Changes And Redesign, including impressions and analysis, photos, video, launch date, prices, then specs here at our lovely blogs.
2016 Chevrolet Spark Specs
An all-new instrument panel design with an advanced liquid crystal display (LCD) features a prominent "center stack" for the infotainment and climate system controls. The Spark's signature color-matched instrument panel décors are updated with trapezoidal air outlets compared with round outlets on the current model.
The Spark's all-new MyLink radio features a capacitive-touch color display, with an icon-based interface similar to smartphones and other electronic devices. And like a smartphone, the capacitive-touch display allows swiping, pinching and other gestures for quick, easy operation.
Chevy is packing the interior with better quality materials and improved tech. Chevy's latest seven-inch MyLink system sits in the center stack with a capacitive touchscreen, and it now comes with a physical volume control and other buttons for easier use. All models also get a rearview camera, and a LCD instrument cluster remains in front of the driver. The available suite of safety systems includes Forward Collision Alert, Lane Departure Warning and Side Blind Spot Alert.
The designers kept the body-colored interior accents that lent a sense of whimsy and fun to the old car but also added the latest from GM's tech drawer. OnStar with a 4G LTE data connection and onboard Wi-Fi are available, as are rear parking sensors; a backup camera is standard. A new, capacitive-touch seven-inch MyLink infotainment screen works with new volume and accessory hard buttons on the dashboard to make its use more intuitive (the old Spark's volume could be adjusted via an on-screen slider that could be finicky), and there's now an "advanced" dot-matrix LCD digital gauge cluster. We're pretty sure the words "advanced" and "dot matrix" haven't been used in the same sentence for promotional purposes since 1987, but at least the little gauge screen is more interesting than an analog cluster.
New volume control and other physical buttons reduce complexity and enhance the system intuitiveness. Complementing MyLink to enhance Spark's connectivity is available OnStar with 4G LTE built-in Wi-Fi hotspot. It provides a mobile hub for drivers and passengers to stay connected. The hotspot is on whenever the vehicle is on.
As far as the interior of the 2016 Chevy Spark goes, the cabin will come with extensive updates. The costumers can expect to find a reshaped dashboard with Chevrolet's newest MyLink infotainment system, located in the center stack with a capacitive-touch color display, a modified instrument cluster with a liquid display (LCD), and softer upholstery all around. More legroom and shoulder room in the rear, will also going to be an important characteristic of the interior. Otherwise, some other major changes are not expected compared to the previous model.
2016 Chevrolet Spark Engine
The 2016 Chevy Spark will be powered by all-new 1.4-liter petrol engine. This small-displacement Ecotec engine is able to produce 98 horsepower (73kW) which represent a 16% more power than previous powerplant. In order to reduce overall car mass to improve performance and efficiency, the cylinder block and head is made of aluminum. The new Chevy Spark 2016 comes with 5-speed manual transmission or dual-range continuously variable transmission. With this CVT transmission the new Spark will have fuel efficiency rated at 40 mpg on highway.
The 2016 Spark is powered by an all-new 1.4L engine that is part of GM's new, global family of Ecotec small-displacement engines. It offers an estimated 98 horsepower (73 kW) a 16-percent increase over the current model. Engineered to deliver strong performance with excellent efficiency, the new Ecotec engine family represents a clean-sheet design and engineering process, leveraging the diverse experience of GM's global resources.
The 2016 Spark is now more muscular than the 89-hp Smart Fortwo and the 94-hp Scion iQ pipsqueaks. Its 98 horsepower might come courtesy of a new 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine adopted from General Motors' new Ecotec small-engine family. Up 0.2 liters on the outgoing Spark's 1.2-liter four, the 1.4-liter engine features an aluminum block and an aluminum head with an integrated exhaust manifold. Official fuel-economy estimates are forthcoming, but today's Spark tops out at 31/39 mpg city/highway, and so the new car achieving a highway number over 40 wouldn't be unexpected.
"The new Ecotec architecture represents the most advanced and efficient family of small-car gas engines in GM's history," said Tom Sutter, global chief engineer. "Along with performance and efficiency targets, we've also aimed for segment-challenging refinement with low noise and vibration and we've hit the bulls-eye."
Under the 2016 Spark's hood is a new 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 98 horsepower, which is 14 more horsepower than the 2015 model's engine makes. Car and Driver notes that while a 98-horsepower car is typically nothing to write home about, they expect that the extra 14 horsepower should help it feel quicker in everyday driving. The Spark is available with either a five-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Chevrolet estimates that the Spark will return 40 mpg highway when equipped with the CVT, which is slightly higher than the 39 mpg highway EPA rating of the 2015 model.
Spark's new 1.4L features an aluminum cylinder block and head, which helps reduce the vehicle's overall mass to enhance performance and efficiency. The cylinder head also incorporates an integrated exhaust manifold, which further reduces weight – an attribute that contributes to increased vehicle efficiency and a more favorable front-to-rear weight balance, for a more responsive driving experience.

Insurance broker Jardine Lloyd Thompson (JLT) is proposing to close its final salary scheme in a bid to reduce its £146m pension deficit.
JLT said members of the defined benefit scheme would be offered a new defined contribution scheme. The changes are expected to affect 40% of the company's UK staff, representing about 20% of the group's overall workforce.
The company also said it would be making an initial cash contribution of £35m to the defined benefit scheme and additional contributions totalling £30m by 2009.
Dominic Burke, group chief executive, said: "The proposed changes outlined are designed to reduce the group's UK pension scheme deficit, provide additional security and certainty to pension scheme members and ensure that JLT continues to provide its employees with highly competitive pension arrangements."
Yesterday retailer Debenhams said it was planning to close its final salary scheme to existing members by moving to a stakeholder scheme.

Would you like to adopt a Punnekin for 2015? It would get your New Year off to a very good start.
What, you might ask, is a 'Punnekin'?
Answer: the Dutch version of the French 'Tricotaine'?
I'm none the wiser, Val. What's a 'Punnekin' or a 'Tricotaine' or whatever you want to call it?
It's a length of crocheted wool produced by a process that the English call 'French knitting' based on a 'Knitting Dolly'. Suus in Mokkum and Heleen de Vaan know all about Punnekins, and I'm sure will tell you all about the delights of Punnekin-ing.
A pun of Punnekins has just hatched out in the airing cupboard. Here they are (the photo is not very good, because their eyes have not yet opened, and they are sensitive to light for the first week or so of their lives):
You will see that they are brightly coloured little things. they make great pets. They don't eat or drink much. You don't have to take them for walks. They like playing with cats. They are easy to look after, etc.
I have about a dozen different multi-coloured Punnekins that I need to find good homes for in 2015.
If you would like to adopt one then what I ask you to do is:
i) send me a postcard, letter or piece of Mail Art saying that you want one, and promising that you will look after it well,
ii) include your name and address on whatever it is that you send me,
iii) let me know if you want a male, female, or neutral Punnekin. Males have red eyes that look like diamonds (these Punnekins are of the species 'Diamond Punnekins'), females have blue eyes (the mother -- complete with tail feather is below), and the gender neutral ones have diamond coloured eyes (22 carrot).
iv),send me an international Mail Order for $10,000 to cover the costs of shipping, vets fees, export licence etc.
v) include a poem or a story about Punnekins. 'Punnekins are funnekins!'.
First come, first served.
Views: 119
Ok Katerina, but you have to send me a Punnekin poem/story (send - not post it here).
Yes please, Petrolpetal, I would like to see a photo of your pumpkins.
Punnekins are very small (the ones I show here are about 30 cms long), and take up any space at all. I could always make you a mini-Punnekin (5 cms) -- the you could have a Punnekin on a Pumpkin.
HeHeHe - when you mentioned a punnekin prize for guessing your residency, I really thought you were talking about pumpkins and just messing about with the spelling! I have too many pumpkins - no space for punnekins unfortunately! Thanks for the offer though - I'm sure you will have many eager takers... Would you like to see a photo of my pumpkins someday??

Renaissance Golf Club in Haverhill is a beautiful wedding venue north of Boston and I've wanted to photograph a wedding there for a while. So much so that even though I'd decided to take the month of August as vacation when Stephanie & Mike contacted me about their wedding at Renaissance I was all over it.
But I'm getting ahead of myself, how about some getting ready and detail pictures:
When I arrived at Stephanie's parents home the girls were still out getting their hair and make up done. I hung out with Stephanie's dad for a while and then figured I may as well get back in the car and track down the girls to the salon :)
Loving the wedding jewelry and colorful flowers:
I'd maybe name this one "Happy Anticipation":
Adore the color of the bridesmaid dresses - aqua? turquoise? I'm sure it has a name:
So then we're at St Margaret's Church in Burlington, MA:
Best little flower girl and ringbearer :)
Pastor Austin Flemming opened the wedding ceremony by saying that he'd seen Stephanie's facebook update about how excited she was to marry Mike:
And by the power vested in me by the state of my blog, I pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride:
Receiving line - much hugging and kissing..
Wedding party pictures before we head over to Renaissance Golf Club in Haverhill, MA for the amazing wedding reception!!!!

Controversial cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex has been blocked from accessing its Tether (USDT) reserves while litigation filed by the New York Attorney General is in progress.
Bitfinex's troubles begin
Bitfinex and Tether are sister companies, and the exchange was accused by New York Attorney General Letitia James of having fabricated "conflicting corporate transactions" that gave it access to $900 million in Tether's cash reserves. It happened after the company tried to hide its losses worth $850 million from users and other stakeholders.
The issue unfolded in April after which the AG sued the companies. Bitfinex went public in its defense, making a shocking revelation that Tether is backed only 74% by USD reserves. However, it said that the funds had not been misappropriated. Instead, they are locked up with regulators and will be available as soon as they are released by the relevant authorities.
The exchange still suggests that the New York AG has no jurisdiction over their activities. However, the case is pending in court. The exchange, in the meanwhile, has been blocked from accessing Tether reserves as a judge decides whether or not the AG's lawsuit must be dismissed.
The proceedings till date
The case is registered as Attorney General of the State of New York vs. Ifinex Inc.450545/2019, New York State Supreme Court, New York County.
On Monday, Justice Joel Cohen of the New York State Supreme Court extended an injunction issued in April that prohibits the exchange from accessing or making claims on cash reserves of Tether. The companies are also banned from loaning the reserves. The injunction will continue till he judges decide if the case should be dismissed.
He noted,
"I will extend the injunction … if I dismiss the case then obviously the injunction goes with it. If I don't dismiss the case, the injunction will be extended. The idea is to keep things where they are until the decision of this motion, so the decision is to extend the stay and … extend the injunction."
Both companies are controlled by Ifinex Inc., a Hong Kong based entity. As residents of the US are not allowed to trade on the exchange, the company believes that the New York AG cannot drag them to court. The company has registered itself in the British Virgin Islands, and the litigation has impacted the ability of its affiliated entities from using their funds freely.
If the judge decides to allow the AG's case, then the injunction will be extended for another 90 days.

After we got home from our cruise and celebrated Memorial Day, we had to pack like crazy people to get done in time for moving day. I preferred it that way because it was easier to just pack everything instead of trying to figure out what we needed to keep out. We had to do a little of that, but not nearly as much as we would have if we had packed earlier.
I made it out for a run on Global Running Day (June 1st).
Grandma Dixie was in Utah watching Mae while Taylor and Martha were out of town. She brought her down to Spanish Fork one day, so she could play with her cousins. They ended up painting and Mae turned herself into a smurf.
Peyton had her dance pictures. She was an absent-minded mouse. Since the studio does this show (Alice in Topsy Turvey Land) every few years, they own all the costumes and we were just renting it. She ended up with a costume that was too big for her, but she was adorable nonetheless.
I signed Corbyn up for a sport's camp through Spanish Fork. I had to get special permission for him to do it since he was not technically 6 yet and it was supposed to be for ages 6-12. He would have been 6 in time for the second session, but he had to do the first session since we were moving. It was 4 days a week for 2 weeks. He went for 2 hours in the morning and each day they learned a new sport - the normal sports (baseball, soccer, football, basketball, track, etc), but also some less common sports including at least one sport that I hadn't heard of before (and of course I can't think of the name of it now). He had fun doing it and it gave him something to look forward to each day since Rhys had moved and he couldn't play with him anymore.
I had spent a lot of time working on this Nativity puzzle early in the year, but didn't finish it before we moved (and still haven't finished it, but it's on the list of things to finish this year!). Rog didn't think we could move it, but I found a way!
We loaded the moving truck the morning of June 4th. We had missed National Donut Day on June 3rd, but celebrated a day late with donuts for everyone who came to help us. We had a good number from our ward show up to help (plus my parents and Taylor) and many hands made for light work. Rog worried we wouldn't be able to fit everything in the moving truck, but we actually ended up with room to spare.
That afternoon we had a family party for Corbyn's birthday. (Post coming soon.)
Our last day of church in the Willows Ward was June 5th. It was Fast and Testimony meeting and it was Rog's turn to conduct and bear his testimony. I also bore my testimony and many ward members mentioned us in their testimonies. We didn't mean to turn it into a farewell Phillips meeting, and we were a little embarrassed that it ended up that way, but it was nice to have a chance to say goodbye to the ward.
After church Rog and my dad started the drive up to Oregon with the moving truck and Rog's car. They were planning on towing Rog's car behind the moving truck, but decided at the last minute to have one of them drive the truck and the other drive the car since they had heard bad things about towing a car behind a moving truck.
They spent Sunday night in Boise and then finished the drive on Monday. A good number showed up from the Sunnyside Ward to help them unload. Portland was having a freak early heat wave and it had been in the 90s and had hit 100 the week before they got there. (Very unusual for that early in the summer.) Our house didn't have an air conditioner (yet), so they spent a couple uncomfortable days there putting furniture together and doing what they could to get the house ready for us.
My mom stayed with me and helped me clean our townhouse and take care of the kids while Rog and my dad were in Oregon. We were left with practically nothing since we could only keep what would fit in the minivan. The only piece of furniture we had was our entertainment center. We were selling it since we didn't have a place for it in our new living room. We stressed and stressed because it wasn't selling, but lucked out that someone bought it the night before we moved. We watched movies on my laptop sitting on a couple camp chairs we had left out.
Logan was not a fan of sitting in this turtle booster seat without a chair.
Corbyn slept in his and Peyton's room on an air mattress. Logan slept in his room in a pack n' play. And the 3 girls slept in the master bedroom on air mattresses. Peyton and I shared an air mattress since I figured she'd end up with me anyway. It's hard to tell, but in this picture she's actually on the floor in between the two air mattresses with her head on the air mattress.
She had a few practices and a dress rehearsal for her recital.
I took Corbyn and Peyton to see Zootopia in the Spanish Fork theater to use up some passes we had. We've decided that sometimes Disney does a terrible job with their trailers because based on the trailers we thought it was going to be so dumb, but we ended up loving it! (Same thing happened with Frozen. We didn't even see it while it was in the theater because the trailers were so dumb.) I ended up buying it at Costco right after seeing it, so the kids could watch it on the drive up to Oregon.
I fit in a couple last runs on my beloved Spanish Fork River Trail.
Wednesday (June 8th) was crazy and the details are fuzzy now, but this is how I remember it going down. After we picked up Corbyn from his sport camp my mom took Corbyn and Peyton to Seven Peaks for one last hurrah there. I can't remember what I did with Logan while they were there (maybe errands?), but I do remember picking them up and stopping at the Disney Store really quickly (for their Half Yearly Sale) before we drove up to Salt Lake to pick up my dad and Rog at the airport. Jared and Cailey wanted to make us a farewell dinner, so we planned to stop there and eat and then head down to Spanish Fork for Peyton's recital. They were running a little late and we didn't think we'd all fit in their tiny apartment, so we went to the duck pond at BYU to wait for them. We thought they could bring dinner there when it was ready and we could have a little picnic.
It turned out that they were running more late than we thought and we needed to get back, so I could do Peyton's hair and makeup. We stopped by the BYU Creamery and bought a half gallon of Graham Canyon ice cream to eat after the recital. I did Peyton's hair and makeup while we waited for Jared and Cailey. We ate quickly and then went over to American Leadership Academy for the recital.
I was adamant that we not move before this recital. Rog could not understand why it was so important to me and he really wanted to get up to Oregon to get us as settled as possible before he started work on June 13th. He gave me more crap about it than anything else in our whole 9 years of marriage, but it was worth it. Cuteness overload! (She's second from the left.)
While they were waiting for their turn to dance, they made bracelets (she's wearing the one she made in this picture) and did other fun activities.
I'm grateful to Peyton's teacher for helping her have such a great experience for her first year of dance.
Thursday (June 9th), we got up early, said goodbye to our first house (the house we brought all our babies home to), and hit the road.
Rog was a trooper and drove the whole way (other than one measly hour that I drove).
We did the drive in one day (with many stops for the little people), since we were anxious to get to our new house.
Logan was a trooper and didn't give us any trouble (that I can remember now anyway).
Then we started the fun job of unpacking and making our new house our home.

A movie so successful and ground-breaking like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) is destined to spread loads of sequels, prequels, remakes and reboots.
The latest of these is Leatherface, the origin story of the titular character, considered one of the most iconic horror villains of all time.
Before proceeding with my review, I want to raise a question: is it always necessary to give great, mysterious characters an origin story? My answer is that such a thing is not only unnecessary, but could also be dangerous, taking away the aura of mystery and uneasiness linked to a beloved character.
Nevertheless, I'm always open (and hopeful) to be surprised and prone to change my mind.
Unfortunately, Leatherface only reinforced my convictions, being one of the worst and most disappointing movies of 2017.
I went into it saving an ounce of hope, since the duo of directors were French die-hard fans of Tobe Hooper's most influential film. France is one of the few countries in which the TCSM formula has been tried with outstanding results – check out Frontiers (2007) and Calvaire (2004) for reference (I know Calvaire is a Belgian film, but they speak French in it, so I allowed myself to cheat a bit).
Furthermore, the two directors (Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury, who previously came out with the fun, gory Inside, 2007) embraced the project with enthusiasm: "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is the real game-changer… it changed the face of cinema… it's a masterpiece" (Maury). They were also supervised by Tobe Hooper himself as the executive producer who, sadly, died before the film was released.
Back to the movie: the story is about the dysfunctional Sawyer family that, after murdering the daughter of a local sheriff, sees their youngest son been taken into a mental institution. 10 years after his reclusion, the young Jed (Leatherface in the making) escapes with the help of three deranged patients and nurse, held hostage by the gang. The plotline follows their attempt to reach the Sawyer family, whilst being persecuted by the vindictive sheriff.
Now, this movie is full of flaws, but the biggest one revolves around tone and vibe: other than the first 3 minutes and the last 10, this flick doesn't look anything like a TCSM film. In terms of locations, none of those utilised in the film remind the viewer of the Texan farms and fields – which makes sense, since it was shot over the course of 27 days (!) in Bulgaria!
Yet, the direction completely forgets about what made the original TCSM a ground-breaking piece of cinema: the gritty realism of the 1974 movie is replaced by over-the-top gore and driven by unlikable, idiotic characters.
Also, in regards to the violence, Leatherface unwisely chooses to keep the most gruesome scenes off-camera, preferring to show two deranged criminals having sex on a corpse and showing signs of necrophilia. Scenes like these are just disgusting and off-putting, which has nothing to do with real horror or uneasiness. Yet, when the violence is actually on camera, who made the film decided to utilise the cheapest shaky-cam effects and shittiest colour scheme to prevent the viewers from enjoying the scenes.
Again, when it comes to the acting, Leatherface delivers us the most one-dimensional characters I have seen in a while, portrayed awfully by the actors – with the exception of Lili Taylor (Jed's mom) and the titular protagonist (played fairly well by Sam Strike).
Luckily enough, the portrayal of Jed/Leatherface is quite respectful of the character: he's not downright evil, more so a victim of his background and the events that influenced his life. However, for some incomprehensible reason, the directors or writers of the script decide to focus more on other, useless characters, such as the nurse and a fat, mentally unstable goof who have no part in the TCSM universe.
Towards the end, we come back to the Sawyer family house, in which location and cinematography pay homage to the original 1974 film, which was kind of cool to see. Other than that, though, even the grand finale is downright ridiculous and disappointing.
Before I get to my conclusions, let me just add a complaint about an aspect of the movie that bugged me throughout. The editing is awfully jumpy during the entire runtime (only 84 minutes, luckily) and gives the impression of a product that has been released before being polished and refined. Since Leatherface has been shot over 27 days, which is insane, the only thing I could think of is that they just wanted to get it over with and come out with whatever shipwreck that could achieve in such a limited time. And this is what really pisses me off about a movie, because it shows little interest for audience and even less passion for your profession.
In conclusion, I strongly suggest not to watch Leatherface: if you're a huge fan of the TCSM universe, this flick would likely let you down. If you're just looking for some gory, mindless entertainment, instead, just check out something else which may allow you to see what's going on. Cheers!

APGA presidential candidate John Gbor has condoled with the Governor of Sokoto state and the family of former President Shehu Aliyu Shagari who passed on Friday, December 28th, 2018 at the age of 93.
The former President died in the National Hospital, Abuja after a brief illness as a patriot who wouldn't want to be flown abroad for treatment.
Quoting Mary Macbeth, Gbor said: "Everyone dies eventually, whether they have power or not. That's why you need to think about what you'll accomplish while you're alive".
Alhaji Shagari was born on February 25th, 1925 in Shagari village. He held several posts in Nigeria, prominent among them was when he was elected the President of Nigeria on the platform of the defunct National Party of Nigeria (NPN) as the first and only president in the Second Republic under the presidential system of Government.
Unfortunately, Shagari's government was overthrown by the military junta of Maj-Gen Muhammadu Buhari on December 31st, 1983 on account of corruption.
Gen Olusegun Obasanjo handed over power to Shagari following the controversial elections conducted by FEDECO in 1979, leading to legal tussle staged by Chief Obafemi Awolowo, the presidential flagbearer of the Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN).
Alhaji Shagari also served several times in ministerial or cabinet post as a federal minister and Federal commissioner from 1958---1975.
Buhari, who organized a putsch, a latterday democrat, teargassed the democratically elected Shagari government out of the corridor of power in 1983 and detained President Shagari without trial for many months under the harrowing condition in which Shagari nearly lost his eyes.
Gbor notes that the patriotic zeal of Shagari in power would be missed for a season, despite some flaws induced environmentally. His exit evokes public pains and a loss to the nation still grappling with insecurity, poverty and gargantuan abuse of power and human rights. May God grant Former President Shehu Shagari Aljana fidau.

Time for Creation!
It is time for your unique genius to blossom.
You are being called in the midst of chaos and insecurity to create. It is human nature to create.
That's why we are here, to create something unique and original. I remember the message in Leo Tolstoy's story about Ivan Illyich s as he is lying on his death bed and in a moment of clarity, he sees that he has not, after all, lived well, and asks " what if my whole life has been wrong?"
This now present moment is the perfect time to find out what makes your heart sing. We are each unique, and are given varied gifts and talents. What gifts reside in you, and are just waiting to come out? Drop down from your mind and tap into your sacred heart space, to see what gems are glistening and sparkling-just waiting to be brought out and shown to the world.
Reconnect with the knowing that you are love, and that miracles really can pour into your life and that you have the power to create the life you have envisioned overflowing with magic and miracles. Brainstorm and take your beautiful ideas to fruition.
Be purposeful, intentional and powerful. Step out of the box.
The reference points outside ourselves are changing, as the shift occurs. The reference points outside of ourselves are actually dissolving. We are now finding the reference points that are reliable and dependable are found within ourselves, in our heart space. There are forces beyond our control in play, and we are being tested. Do we step up to the plate and create-even though we have challenges?
It's got to be good, it's gotta be powerful, it's gotta be true, and we have to be masterful. Are you ready to step into your mastery?
This is the time to accept the gifts we have been given. It is time to shine our radiant light for all to see. Let the seeding take place so the blossoms may bloom.

This week, we will continue the journey and share some thoughts from the study of Joshua 20-22.
Below are some questions for reflection
Joshua 20-21
What is God continually requiring from his people? What are some ideas in how to stand up for what is excellent and righteous instead of being silent? In what past or recent situations have you experienced God's faithfulness?
Joshua 22
What is Joshua's primary concern for the Israelites who will be living on the other side of the Jordan? Why do the eastern tribes build an altar by the Jordan? What do the other tribes misunderstand? What can you learn from this event about your consideration for the actions of others?
Believe that God has a great plan for you.
Victory starts by having a plan. By accepting God's plan for us, all we need to do is follow and believe He will provide the power. He will give the upper hand to make what seems impossible possible.
