Rheinuferpromenade (River Rhine Promenade)
River Rhine
Duesseldorf, Germany
Submitted by: Matthias Bauer
Public promenade/ esplanade with square
Why It Works
This project is easily one of the most successful waterfront transformations in Germany or anywhere else in Europe. As in so many other cities, this place used to be a wide urban expressway along the river, effectively cutting the city centre off from the riverfront. Finally, in the 1990's the authorities decided to put the expressway into a tunnel and create a new promenade on top. The new esplanade was designed by local designers Fritschi, Stahl, Baum on a very tight budget, as the cost of the tunnel kept rising and the budget for the public space was cut frequently. The design solution is therefore fairly simple and sometimes a bit rough, using straightforward contemporary design throughout. However, the simplicity, boldness and consistency seem to be the reasons for the success.
There is a lower level entirely paved with tarmac (which is not as ugly as it sounds) which is used by skateboarders, inline skaters and cyclists. Several simple and temporary restaurants/ beer gardens with colourful awnings in front have been integrated into the flood wall (permanent structures are not allowed due to flooding). The upper level has two continuous rows of plane trees with benches in between.
The southern stretch is wider and has a sloping lawn down to the river. The northern stretch is more urban and features a re-designed square (Burgplatz) with steps down to the river. This is the place where people congregate in summer, sitting on the steps and watching the ships on the river pass by.
The neighbouring area, Duesseldorf's not-so-old post-war Old Town is Germany's largest and most vibrant nightlife area. The new promenade now allows for extension of the evening and night-time activities straight to the river. Thereby, the scheme creates new connections from the city centre to the river. The whole stretch of waterfront is almost completely pedestrianized now.
It is also important to mention, that the scheme manages to extend the promenade southwards under a rather appalling expressway bridge leading further to the newly gentrified harbour area. In order to achieve this, the architects have placed a modern new theatre building right under the bridge to enliven the dark uninviting space under the bridge and to encourage passers-by to go further.
The new waterfront is lined with residential and office buildings - most of them were in place already before the promenade was created. Unfortunately, not all of them have active ground levels.
As the designers have put it: To see and be seen, to watch other people, is the most important reason why people gather in public spaces - not fancy design features.
What Makes Rheinuferpromenade (River Rhine Promenade) a Great Place?
Easy access for pedestrians. Many people nearby use the space, for example office workers and employees of nearby government buildings. Car access is very limited and restricted; the promenade itself is largely pedestrianized, apart from some very small access roads. There is a subway/tram station nearby.
Seating on benches under plane trees, clean and well-maintained, safe, no vehicles in sight.
Activities on the promenade include: strolling, cycling, inline-skating, beergardens and restaurants, open-air-cinema in summer, sunbathing, and occasional public events (markets, exhibitions, concerts).
Vibrant, active, definitely a meeting place. You will find both visitors and locals here.

I have used many product lines for acne, including Proactiv, Murad, and other drugstore brands. This is BY FAR the best line I have used. I'm 41 and still suffer from hormonal acne and cystic pimples. The UNBLEMISH line is great because it contains 3 products that work together. The cleanser is sulfur-based, but very nice! The toner works to lighten post acne marks, and the cream is in a dual chambered bottle. This system is simple, gentle, and incredibly effective. I have experienced a marked decrease in the number of pimples, and an overall more even skin tone. Totally worth the cost!!!!
I am 33 years old and have had acne all my life. Sometimes it has been worse than others, but in the last few years I have struggled more since I had my kids. I especially had cycstic acne along my jawline.
I started using Unblemish in October 2010 and now (January 2011) my skin is better than it has EVER been! I get comments all the time on how nice it looks, and the other day while getting a facial the woman actually told me how nice my skin and pores were. This has NEVER happened to me before. I noticed an improvement in my skin within 2-3 weeks (nothing is going to make major changes to your skin any sooner than this, so I would disregard the reviews from people who only used it for a week or two).
I tend to have oily skin, but in the past have found many systems to dry out my skin. Unblemish has not been a problem for me at all. You need to follow the directions when you first start using it - using it just once every other day for a week, then once a day for a week, then you can go up to trying twice a day.
All in all, even though this is much more expensive than what I would usually buy, I will continue to "splurge" on it since it is working so well for me and I highly recommend it.
I used this regimen for 2 weeks and this was my first time trying any acne products on my face. I am 27 and have always had clear skin, until my hormones when nuts after getting off BCP. I wanted this to work so bad for me. It broke me out really bad in cystic pimples! It is now scarring my face and not only that...my skin is so dry and flaky. I would not recommend this for anyone...it didn't work for me and I would hate for anyone to have the same problem.

I've been using the Unblemish line for almost one year. I'm 21 and have had mild acne since 14. I have combination skin where my skin feels tight after I wash it, but moisturizer usually does the trick. Later in the day I might get a little shiny but not too bad.
Proactiv made my skin very dry, irritated--ultimately leading to severe acne. Unblemish, however, is very balanced.
I started with the 3-part system, but now I use DDF Glycolic Toner instead of the Unblemish because it lasts longer and helps decrease the size of my pores.
The Unblemish cleanser does not take make up off, so I use cold creme to handle that. After wiping off cold creme with warm water and a towel, I wash with Unblemish cleanser. Then, pat dry with a clean towel. DDF toner. Then the 3rd part of the Unblemish system, the medicated creme.
I only use the system at night. In the morning, I wash my face with Cetaphil cleanser and moisturize with Cetaphil face moisturizer with SPF. Too much medication irritates my skin. Cetaphil is very gentle. It works for me in the mornings because I don't have heavy make-up to take off, so I just want a gentle cleaner to help wash off the medicated stuff and give me a clean palette to do my make-up.
For the past year, this has been the most consistent regimen for me. I do break out a little when I am on my period, but it is much less than before I started this regimen.
Sometimes if I break out, I'll use a little Boscia Willow Bark Treatment as a spot treatment at night after I cleanse, tone, and moisturize. It doesn't dry out to the point of flakiness.
Unblemish does smell like sulfur, but not as strongly as I thought after I read reviews on MUA. It's not a stink bomb or anything :]

While moving from one state to another, having a young infant and dealing w/family members my face broke out really badly!!! I haven't had such a bad breakouts in a year or more. It got me really depressed and I had to resort to doing something so I bought the kit because I've tried it in the past and it works. Although you have to give it about a couple of weeks in order to see the change (I know we want result immediately but that doesn't always happen). The kit has a cleanser, a toner and a BP. The cleanser is purple because it contains sulfur, it's gentle and doesn't irritate my face. The toner has a strong smell but it doesn't deter me. It doesn't stink.The BP seems more gentle than the BP from proactiv. I recommend using the BP at night everyday in order to see results. I think my face was red at first for the first week and then the redness faded. Of course, use a sunscreen during the day. The kit is expensive and you have to buy it online but worth it in my book.
In general, I really like this product and found that it worked well -- in particular the cleanser. I didn't find that the toner was anything special and the treatment can be a bit too drying when all three products were combined (I have picky skin -- oily, but dry and sensitive too.)
I don't particularly need a product to smell good - in fact, I usually find that products with a strong fruity or 'yummy' smell have an adverse effect on my skin; however, the fash wash really is an over-the-top sulfur smell that might bother some.
Unfortunately, the price on both the regimen AND the single products went up greatly as of late and I will be searching for something a little more economical.
I think it's pretty ridiculous to spend $42.00 on a cleanser -- shame on you Rodan + Fields!
Have used for one week. I tend to have cystic acne, one at a time. I noticed a new one on day 2 of using Unblemish. Planning to get a cortisone injection when I could get an appointment, the swelling went down. While my face still feels greasy, I am amazed the cyst got better. Still not sold 100% - packaging is outdated (no flip-tops) and is quite expensive compared to Proactiv which I used to use. Time will tell. UPDATE - after several weeks, my face was worse than ever. My face always felt/looked very greasy and oily. For $80, not impressed.

I'm 45 years old & have battled acne for most of my life. "Proactiv" worked very well, however, I found it to be a bit too trying for me personally. So I decided to give the "Unblemish" line a chance after reading some information about it online. "Unblemish" doesn't leave me with the same dry feeling the "Proactiv" line did. I've had excellent results with the "Unblemish" line & now that I have my acne under control I've begun using the Rodan & Fields "Anti-Aging" line at night in addition to the "Unblemish" regime during the day. So far so good for me with both product lines.
I've been battling acne problems since puberty. This regimen really works for me after trying a gamut of products over the years. (and wasting lots of $$). In addition to following the regimen as outlined by R&F, I use a SPF moisturizer in the morning (Neutrogena Healthy Skin Face Lotion, with SPF 15 Multivitamin Facial Treatment With Alpha Hydroxy) and a corrective moisturizer at night (Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle, Anti-Blemish Cream). This combination is the right balance for me without taking prescription drugs. Nordstrom's sells this product, so if you want to just try it out, buy it from them, since they have an extremely generous return policy OR they have a 'travel' kit, at half the price. It did take 2 months for my skin to really equalize, so give it time for your body to adjust to the regimen.
It has been awhile since I used Unblemish and I guess that says it all. It is overpriced and under-delivers. I mean it is OK. I have had acne since my teens and now in my 30's still suffer from clogged pores and hormonal acne. It kept most at bay but was not fantastic. The product smells--not as bad as Murad but not nearly as good as Proactiv. It also has a thicker, creamy consistency which my oily skin does not love. The wash also never left my face feeling clean. I will say it again....NOT WORTH THE EXPENSE!

Books for Boys: Wise Intelligence, Strongman, and Curse of the Were-Woman
- Posted by Johanna on March 27, 2009 at 10:29 pm
- Category: Indy Comic Reviews
Curse of the Were-Woman
written by Jason M. Burns, art by Christopher Provencher, Devil's Due, color graphic novel, $14.99 US
Patrick's a self-obsessed, narcisstic babehound who sleeps with a different female every night. After using and dumping the wrong witch, she curses him to become a woman once the sun goes down. For those of you old enough to remember, yes, it's a comic version of the movie Switch, liberally mixed with the lessons from What Women Want.
Those weren't the only movies I was reminded of, though — the opening smacks of American Psycho, with the lead's fetishized rituals and self-love. The book relies on stereotypes throughout, with the witch being drawn as a Death-like goth and no characters, male or female, having much depth.
Women in this comic are defined by their physicality, their breasts and menstuation and availability for sex. Patrick even hits on himself as Patricia! There are two female characters who are not characterized by their attractiveness; one is merely a symbol of Patrick's change of heart, and the other is a harridan, Patrick's former friend's fat wife. Patricia doesn't seem like a real woman, but a guy's checklist of what women are like.
It's ironic, because Patrick's lesson is to learn that women are more than sex objects, but the writer doesn't seem to have taken that message to heart, although the men fare no better. There's no sense of what made Patrick the man he is beyond the most superficial: he likes women and sex. Has he ever loved or been hurt? I have no idea, which makes the long-expected happy ending less than satisfying.
The presentation is slick and professional, and the dialogue is snappy. You may laugh while reading it — although I found it often too predictable to be funny — but it won't stick with you. I bet someone options it for the movies.
I don't know when this is coming out — the publisher thought the end of March (too late), while Amazon says September. You can see preview pages in this interview at the Pulse.
written by Charles Soule, art by Allen Gladfelter, SLG Publishing, black-and-white graphic novel, $9.95 US
I don't get the attraction of the masked Mexican wrestler, or luchador. I'm also not attracted to the "washed-up alcoholic makes good one more time" story type (unless it's Cat Ballou), so this book isn't for me. I was taken in by the layouts of the first few pages, which use the page as a whole to create a graphic statement, but the art became much more standard after that, so I stopped reading.
Here's a much better review than mine. The publisher has posted preview pages, which show you the layouts I was talking about. There's also an online trailer.
Wise Intelligence #1
written by Ryan McLelland, art by Adam Talley, self-published, black-and-white comic, part one of three-part miniseries, $4 US
As soon as I looked at the pages, I thought "looks like a (stereotypical) webcomic" — flat art, simple faces, lots of talking heads, dodgy grasp of character design, boring layouts, attitude substituting for wit. Lo and behold, it was. The inside front cover text is set in Comic Sans, another no-no for professional use.
I was also turned off by the promotion text, which talks about how it continues from an anthology I've never heard of. Made me feel like I was coming in late. But since it's a story about college frat boys, I wasn't too far behind, since the characters and situations are familiar.
Three upperclassmen are upset that one of them has accidentally been assigned to the freshman dorm. But since his roommate is the son of the university president, it's not such a bad deal. Guys get laid, guys go to film class (and make Deep Throat jokes), guys play video games, one takes Feminist Theory to "mack chicks". Someone's watched Van Wilder too many times. There's not much story, just a string of incidents.

March 28, 2009 at 12:20 AMREGARDING YOUR REVIEW OF STRONGMAN and this comment:
"I don't get the attraction of the masked Mexican wrestler, or luchador. "
Gee whizz, JDC, that's ignorant and a half! Some might say they don't get your (over-the-top) attraction to all things manga, what do you say to that?
Listen, miss high horse, go ahead and patronize one ethnic comics trend over another, we don't need you to ""get" luchador comics or culture because then it would be way over anyway. Shark officially jumped. Stick to your relevant reviews of played out manga and brain-dead Archie comics, that's okay with us fans of the real lucha comics (not Strongman, by the way, but then again, I don't feel inclined to school you) so don't spoil it for us with your cheap, culturally condescending comments.
As for me, I'm done with this dumb site. And I thought the Beat was vapid. Whoa, nelly! Squeeze this melon and there's no juice at all, only pits.
have a nice life, bye!
- Johanna Says:
March 28, 2009 at 6:25 AMI'm sorry you're so upset, but that statement wasn't patronizing or a put-down — it was explaining a flaw in me, that I am missing the attraction. That simple fact (and I'm not sure how you state it more directly or plainly) was important context for my comments.
If someone told me they didn't get manga, I'd explain what I saw in it, and if they still weren't interested, I'd shrug and say "their loss". I wouldn't assume that they were putting it down just because their tastes were different. I'd love to hear what you like about it, in the hopes of getting some education on the subject, instead of seeing you throw a hissy and leave.
But if you're not enjoying the site, yes, there are plenty of other places to read about comics. Better you visit them than continue reading something that obviously frustrates you so much.
- JennyN Says:
March 28, 2009 at 6:58 AMPersonal comment re your note on STRONGMAN: I for one am pleased to read a reviewer who's willing to cop to their personal reactions / biases, rather than going ahead with a supposedly "objective" review that ends up simply annoying those who do enjoy a particular genre or type of comic (manga, bande dessinee, etc). You had the integrity to say that you aren't the ideal audience for this type of story, but then directed readers to another reviewer who's able to be honestly enthusiastic. Nor do I see any cultural condescension in this case (especially as the comic in question seems to be a US riff on a Latin American genre, not an actual Mexican product). Keep truckin', JDC!
- Johanna Says:
March 28, 2009 at 7:08 AMI admit, my non-review was a copout, but I wanted an excuse to say *something* about this SLG publication and provide the links. Thanks for the support!
- Paterick Says:
March 28, 2009 at 9:18 AMDamn…props for referring a review when you weren't up to doing a half-assed one yourself. I think that more than makes up for your "prejudice?" I'm black and I know the difference between prejudice and preference. She didn't like the story type so calm the hell down before you start getting uppity over it.
And most of the time when people say something like 'I'm done with this website,' it either means they're just gonna lurk from now until they feel the need to snap at something, or just like being dramatic when they don't have an effect on readership anyways.
- Johanna Says:
March 28, 2009 at 9:49 AMTrue. The people who really leave do so without the big statement. If you care enough to make a pronouncement, you're not really done yet, most times.
- Sebastian Says:
March 28, 2009 at 5:39 PMI'm more interested in knowing when Strongman will be distributed to bookstores. I wanted to order it after I saw it was out through Diamond, but no boookstore seems to have it in stock yet. My regular international providers (bookdepository, amazon.de, bol.de) don't even recognize its ISBN.
- Johanna Says:
March 28, 2009 at 6:40 PMMaybe SLG just wants you to order direct from them (but their shipping charges often aren't as advantageous). I'm sorry I don't have more info on that.
- Charles Soule Says:
March 29, 2009 at 3:39 PMJohanna –
I'm sorry you weren't engaged by the book past the first few pages, (even moreso since I wrote it), but as other commenters have mentioned, you do say that you aren't the target audience. Perhaps at some point you'll give it another shot – the book goes to unexpected places, and ends up being what a pretty substantial portion of readers/reviewers (everyone who's finished it, actually) have found it to be an engaging, uplifting read. But not every book is for every reader. No harm, no foul.
Sebastian, the book can be ordered through Amazon here: http://tinyurl.com/cnozlg , or direct from SLG here: http://tinyurl.com/ay3rat . It's temporarily sold out at Amazon (yay!), but I have been promised by both Amazon and SLG that it'll be back in stock very soon, if you want to place your order.
Thank you for the interest.
- Johanna Says:
March 29, 2009 at 3:50 PMThanks, Charles, for answering that order question. And I appreciate that it seems like an interesting book, just not one for me. Since you seem so nice, I'm sorry it's not. :)
- Sebastian Says:
March 29, 2009 at 5:13 PMThanks for the information that it should be back in stock at amazon.com soon. Still, the book not being listed at the sites I mentioned above means that there's something wrong with its (international) distribution. For example, "Stitch", which also came out from SLG this month is readily available through all outlets I mentioned.
It's good to know I could buy "Strongman" at amazon.com, but I'm not yet prepared to pay double price (which it would be including shipping) and hope it will get a normal international distribution eventually.
- Charles Soule Says:
March 29, 2009 at 6:34 PMWell, I'm not sure why that would be the case, if other books from the publisher make it to the international distributors. I'm still a bit new to that side of things. That being said, I know it made it to Singapore, England and Australia, so it made it to at least a few places. As you say, hopefully the other outlets you mention will stock it soon.
I see the Slave Labor guys this weekend at Emerald City Comicon (stop by to say hello if anyone's in Seattle) and will ask them about it.

The reason Strongman isn't in bookstores is because, unfortunately, none of the bookstores chose to order any copies. They're getting a lot more selective about what they're carrying lately. (It's actually not as bad as the bookstores returning most of their ordered copies.) I'm not sure why the ISBN isn't being recognized; usually Diamond sends the info to Books in Print, but perhaps because there were no orders for it they didn't do it. We'll send in the info ourselves, so it should show up soon.

When someone's "secret ingredient"- is an artificially flavored, synthetic fat....I think that in and of itself should automatically disqualify someone to be the next food network star....does anyone have integrity anymore, when it comes to cooking??? another case of -let's pick the pretty one, who has no idea what she's doing in the kitchen....
Obviously, this young woman has a clue why she's in the kitchen or she could not qualify to compete. Let's not judge her because she is pretty. That's just one more form of discrimination, which is never right. Many bakers would agree that buttery solid shortening makes the best tasting flaky pie crust. Not the healthiest! We make our own choices, as to healthier substitutes. I have seen plenty of professional chefs prepare recipes I know I would make some healthier substitutions on. Good luck to all the contestants, regardless of their looks!
I'm not discriminating-I am simply stating, that good looking people, have an edge over others- that's a reality. Look at tv, there is not one person on the food network that is physically unattractive.My point was, I think using any artificially ingredient- and naming that as your "secret weapon"-definitely raises eyebrows regarding someones integrity-in regards to ingredients. I'm not even talking about the health aspect-but the artificial butter flavor??? That she's attractive can only help her, but deficiencies in her cooking ability shouldn't be overlooked because of this.That's all.
Hey Food Network, really.... Butter flavored shortening & iceberg lettuce....got to be kidding. Problem with Food Network Star last season is that some of the contestants should have been on Worst Cooks instead. Knowledge, use of ingredients & presentation is important - all of which last season lacked!!!! If I watch a show, I want the chef to know more than me & especially how to cook. I've watched cooking shows & learned from my mother but that doesn't make me a Food Network Star. So now Bobby, Giada & Alton are coaching them, sounds like they are making a new program - Worst Chef to Network Star.
Where can I find Kara's dessert recipe, from tonight? Am I overlooking the location on Foodnetwork.com?
Disagree Athena...ever looked at Anne Burrell? Not attractive at all!
Guy Fiererri whatever his name is...isn't that attractive either...

text: >Are you going to provide the security patches to packages seperately? I am not yet going to do that since I think that continuing to work on the Linux itself is of more advantage as for now rather than trying to supply source codes. I will however try to release all sourcecodes for 0.5 and am promising them to be completely for 1.0. Most security patches that are LFS related packages have been taken from Trustix Linux. So you might want to take a look around there. >One thing that is on LFS-BOOK's todo list is addign security patches to >the book, but since you are already concentrating on a secure LFS system >(more or less) it would make more sense for the book just to contain a >note in the order of "For security patches visist Kaladix". Hmm... more less then more more I would say... My project does not aim to make LFS in intself secure but rather to create a new distro out of that which has additional server and security features that was based on LFS but has since then majorly changed. To elaborate this a little bit more. I started creating the distro out of LFS Intel 3-pre2. Now it does not contain much packages from pre2 and neither from pre3 anymore since I updated everything myself. For example For 0.4 I'm running GCC 3.0, Bash 2.05 etc. I did my own kernel patch compilation, installed server software, security related software and monitoring facilities. Some standards have been replaced, like inetd with xinetd or syslog with syslog-ng. And lots of other things have been done thus making LFS differ from Kaladix Linux. I don't know in what way our software versions will match in the future. Right now I took care of known security issues in the two following ways: - For old software packes from GNU that are never updated I have taken the SRPMS from Trustix Linux and recompiled them - For new software I have installed the latest patches and or updated them. Things that I remember to be vulnerable from head: modutils man ed To sum up: Full sources will be available for my distro. These sources are most likely to be the latest available packages or patched sources from other Distros like Trustix for example. Some of them might be pretty usefull for LFS'ers I think, however someone would have to mark all still LFS related sources for LFS users to update which takes time or that every user compares for himself. The thing about LFS and security: LFS usually is pretty new with their software so there are not many new vulnerabilities. LFS has the problem that old packages from GNU are pretty vulnearble, especially to /tmp race conditions. There are no patches provided by GNU and every Distro used to patch for themselves (or copied from others ;). LFS has no remote vulnerabilities at all.

LIC your portfolio into shape
PUBLISHED: 14 Apr 2012 00:05:03 | UPDATED: 14 Apr 2012 02:34:22PUBLISHED: 14 Apr 2012 PRINT EDITION: 14 Apr 2012Bina Brown
Investors disenchanted with the performance of unlisted managed funds are eyeing lower cost options including exchange-traded funds and listed investment companies.
The latest data from actuary Plan For Life showed funds under management through wrap accounts, platforms and master trusts dropped by about $16.5 billion or 4 per cent to $411.3 billion in the year to December 2011.
Negative investment returns and redemptions account for most of the fall, according to the independent researcher.
While much of the money being redeemed from unlisted managed funds will probably join the growing pile of investors' cash reserves, anecdotal evidence is that other lower cost managed investment options including exchange-traded funds and listed investment companies are gaining traction.
Traded on the Australian Stock Exchange, ETFs offer low-cost exposure to a range of passively managed funds that broadly represent a range of indices across all sectors.
LICs are also traded on the ASX. Generally they are actively managed investments whose share price is subject to the vagaries of the underlying equity markets.
The share price of a LIC is mostly measured against the pretax net tangible assets of the companies in which it is invested.
Bell Potter LIC analyst William Spraggett says the 25 LICs within the Bell Potter universe were trading at an average discount to pretax NTA of 9.2 per cent at February 28, 2012.
He believes many LICs have been hit by broad-based risk aversion, which is being reflected in expanding discounts across the industry. Whether this makes them good buying depends on the LIC.
There are 36 domestic and 10 international LICs. In the domestic space, Australian Foundation Investment Company and Argo Investments make up 30.26 and 23.32 per cent of the ASX LIC Index respectively.
Spraggett says that when looking at a LIC's discount or premium to pretax NTA it is important to look at the LIC's average discount or premium over a longer period.
Given LICs' tendency to revert to their mean discount or premium to their pretax NTA through the cycle it may be possible for a canny investor to "game the system", says Spraggett. But you will need to do research.
If you buy a listed investment company at a 10 per cent discount to its pretax NTA and it ordinarily trades at a 20 per cent discount, you are increasing your risk of a capital loss should it normalise towards the mean, he says.
Spraggett is not alone in believing that investors are reviewing the value proposition of unlisted managed funds, particularly where excessive fee structures have been dragging on performance. He says there are a number of LICs with indirect cost ratios of below 0.2 per cent.
The management expense ratio of a typical actively managed fund is between 1 and 2 per cent.
ETFs typically cost less than 0.5 per cent. Investors in LICs and ETFs will incur brokerage costs.
Prescott Securities principal Nick Loxton says with many LICs at reasonable discounts to their net tangible assets the time may be right to look more closely at them.
With patience, investors who understand the underlying portfolio and can buy them at a discount may be well rewarded over time, he says.
Like others, he thinks it is a matter of time before the value in many LICs is unlocked.
Corporate advisory firm Pottinger believes Australian LICs are vulnerable to aggressive attack from hedge funds. Pottinger joint chief executive Nigel Lake says common behaviour from hedge funds is to take a stake in a LIC and then do whatever it takes to cause the share price discount to the NTA to narrow in order to make a profit in the short term.
It may be through a share buyback, removal of the manager or winding up the LIC.
An attack on a LIC may not always benefit all shareholders. While everyone will benefit from a narrower discount, for those shareholders wanting to invest in the LIC, to have it torn apart may not be in their best interests.

More About:
Don't look for hay prices to fall off from currently high levels anytime soon, say analysts with the Livestock Marketing Information Center (LMIC) in Fort Collins, CO.
Prices "usually uptick" in the winter months, but finding hay this year will likely be much more difficult than it was last year, they reported in early November.
"Not only has the drought had a much larger impact area, but winter weather conditions last year were very mild, so hay disappearance was much smaller in 2011 than normal. National hay stocks are expected to be very low in the spring, and could be the smallest ever."
New Mexico had the highest average hay price among the 27 reporting states for the first 10 months of 2012, according to USDA's Agricultural Prices, from which the analysts report. Nebraska saw the highest year-to-year increase – 70% – for the same time period.
North Dakota had the lowest average price, $90/ton, during the first 10 months of the year. But prices there were still up by 43% over year-earlier levels. New York registered the smallest percentage increase, up 2%, followed by Idaho, up 3%.

Concierge.com's insider take:
A mini-railroad connects this quartet of parks—the Grosse and Kleine Wallanlagen parks, the Planten un Blomen flower garden, and the Alter Botanischer Garten—all of which are meticulously well-kept. Within this complex, you'll find ice-skating and roller-skating rinks, restaurants, and gorgeous greenhouses. Planten un Blomen is at its most beautiful on summer evenings. Stroll through the tranquil Japanese Garden (the largest one in Europe) toward the small lake and watch a color light show brighten its waters (49-40-428-232-125; www.plantenunblomen.hamburg.de).

The RadReport has a story on how Kevin Federline's daughter, not one from his relationship with Britney however, was temporarily separated from his party during a recent trip to Disneyland:
Sources said that the child, wearing a light yellow Belle Costume, was left alone near the Finding Nemo ride. When an employee asked her where her parents were, she said she didn't know.
About ten to fifteen minutes after the employee found the lost little Kori, a nanny spotted her and came running over.
"She was freaked out and started yelling at the kid, asking her why she wandered off," said the source.
See even celebrities lose their children at Disneyland. Even when they can afford to pay others to watch the tots for them. I wonder if that nanny was like "Oh my god, this is so going to cost me my job."

text: Well, December is turning out to be a rather crappy month. I've had two dates planned scheduled so far (okay, not dates, per se, but plans with men). First, my BFF Casey was supposed to take me out to dinner on my birthday, but he got sick and had to cancel. Then tonight, another friend, Martin, was supposed to come over and do the pizza delivery+movie thing. So can you guess what happens?

Zoltan Gera has decided to move to Fulham, according to West Brom manager Tony Mowbray.
The 29-year-old Hungary midfielder had been a key player for West Brom after joining from Ferencvaros in 2004, but he has turned down the offer of a new contract to move to West London.
"Having offered Zoltan the best contract we could at this time, we could do no more," Mowbray told the club's official website.
"We would like to wish Zoltan all the best with his future career. Everyone at Albion appreciated his professionalism on and off the field.
"But football moves on and, just as we did last summer, we are looking forward to the challenge of finding new faces to strengthen the squad for the season ahead."

Do you need to maximize revenue from your product or service?
Do you need to radically boost your income over the next 3 months?
Do you need to simplify your operation whilst making more money?
Then this amazing opportunity is for you. This 1-day workshop (or 6-CD Audio Programme*) is designed to help you streamline and market a particular product, service or all your offerings, ensuring maximum income for the least effort and the maximum value for your clients.
This is not a multilevel marketing concept or some new business idea, this is maximizing what you are already doing or want to do. This is making your business work better NOW!
But we are doing things differently than normal:
- We are offering a workshop in at least 8 cities in South Africa and making it available to any other town, or area, that can get 30 people to attend.
- *For those areas that dont get 30 bookings we will deliver a 6-CD Audio Programme with a full workbook with a few days either side of the actually event. The audio Programme will be backed by 4 live webinars for asking questions and reviewing content.
- We are doing this workshop (or offering the Audio Programme*) at a nominal fee. We have focused extensively on high cost interventions over the last 18 months, but now we want to give something of huge value for very little to all those who need it.
What will you learn?
This 1-Day Workshop looks at what you actually do, how you value it, how you package it and how you get the market to buy it. It is an intensive Day aimed towards maximizing revenues and profits in your business.
The workshop is made up of 2 sections:
Part 1:
- What is your Product/Service? – What exactly are you exchanging and how does it benefit the users?
- How to improve your products value? – Why are you selling it and how can we maximize the perception value of the product/service?
- How to package your Product? – How are we 'packaging' the product to ensure a clear and concise message?
- How to Deliver Your Product? – How do we ensure we effectively deliver on the product every time and have happy loyal customers?
Part 2:
- How to Market Your Product? – 7 Cost effective methods of creating market attraction and maximizing sales.
So what does it Cost?
This seminar/Audio Programme is easily worth R1500 and a lot more in tangible value, but it will cost you a lot less. The cost to participate is on a sliding scale – the earlier you book the less it costs:
The cost is R500 + VAT per delegate/audio Programme
Please note, if we dont achieve sufficient numbers at any event we will substitute the event with a 6-CD Audio Programme with Workbook and 4 Q&A Webinars. These Audio Programmes will be delivered within a few days of the advertised events themselves. Book for the event closest to you even if you would prefer the Audio Programme.
All events are from 9am till 5pm. Price includes Refreshments, Workbook and Pen. Lunch is not included.

I had a great 3 days stay at this bed and breakfast. The place was hard to find, but at a very nice place, in the middle of an authentic Maroccan village. The food that was served was great, every morning an amazing breakfast and on requets and some extra money a packed lunch and great diner. If you like the mountains and to be away from crazy Marrakech, don't hessitate to visit this bed and breakfast with it's amazing hosts.

With a crocodile's calm grin, Ricardo Corona rises from his chair near the end of a long table of coiffed women and conservatively suited men, grabs a microphone, and tells a roomful of college students why they should elect him a Florida circuit court judge. "I was mainly in business before law school," says Corona, who could pass for an ex-football player with his shaved head and tan suit hanging from linebacker-wide shoulders. "I was a banker for 15 years. My last position was actually as director and executive vice president."
It's the truth.
Also true: Corona's leadership at his family's Sunshine State Bank earned him a lifetime ban from the banking industry thanks to millions of dollars in shady loans and startup money from a drug smuggler.
And yes, he wants to enforce the law.
The two dozen students scattered around a meat-locker frigid Miami Dade College auditorium politely applaud his two-minute pitch, which ends with typical lawyerly understatement: "I've had a long and winding road to this position up here in front of you."
Corona's race against former court staffer Abby Cynamon — pitting a disgraced banker against a foster-care product who's now rich enough to pour $300,000 of her own cash into campaigning — highlights the criminal, the questionable, and the fascinating that for decades has made Miami courtrooms the nation's weirdest.
State judges in Florida — as in 38 other states — are elected, which means they have to run campaigns to get their jobs. It usually takes tens of thousands of dollars in contributions to win a judgeship, and that often comes from lawyers whom the winner will later see in court.
South Florida's judiciary has faced a tsunami of corruption since the Nineties, when a mostly federal raid called Operation Court Broom swept up three judges and six lawyers in a corruption sting. There was Dade County Judge Harvey Shenberg, who took $50,000 to hand over the name of an alleged drug snitch. And Circuit Judge David Goodhart, who served time for playing bagman and accepting a $25,000 bribe. And how about Circuit Judge Alfonso Sepe, who snatched up $150,000 from undercover feds to fix cases? Sepe's case, the last wrapped up in the sting, concluded eight years ago.
More recently in Broward, several judges have been busted for keeping their own divorces secret, karate-kicking drivers in acts of road rage, and — our favorite — smoking pot in a Hollywood drug-free zone.
So when Ricardo Corona dragged his impressive family baggage up to that long folding table full of judicial candidates, he trudged a well-worn path.
Corona's tale is a uniquely Miami mix of drug money and liberal banking practices that made South Florida the Wild West of the financial world in the Eighties. His family emigrated from Cuba in 1960, and his brother Ray and father Rafael worked in small banks here until Ray befriended Jose Antonio Fernandez, a low-level marijuana smuggler whose profits soon began to soar.
In 1977, Fernandez handed Ray $500,000 in cash, directed him to Alma Robles, a member of an influential Panamanian family, and told him to use Robles as a figurehead to buy Sunshine State Bank. Ray was named president of the drug smuggler's new bank; dad Rafael was made chairman of the board. As Fernandez's drug business peaked, bringing in 1.3 million pounds of pot to the States between '76 and '81 and putting $5 to $7 million in his wallet, Ray, a former Golden Gloves boxer, took to living like a kingpin — driving a Rolls Royce, buying luxury boats and mink coats, waving his gun around nightclubs.
Ricardo stayed behind the scenes at his family's bank until 1984, when he took over after his brother and father were indicted for racketeering and fraud. Two years later, the FDIC banned all three from banking, calling them the "principal cause of the bank's distressed financial condition." An independent audit found loans to be worth almost six times the bank's equity.
Corona moved onto (where else?) law school, graduating from the University of Miami in 1996. He's had no disciplinary record since joining the bar. He focuses on (what else?) business litigation and lists "banking" as one of his areas of expertise on the Florida Bar Association's website. "I've learned a lot," he recently told the Daily Business Review. "I've learned a lot about what makes a good judge."
At Miami Dade College, a few minutes after Corona finishes touting that "banking experience," a student strides to a podium and pounces on the night's most compelling question: "How the heck do you all not let thousands of dollars in campaign contributions affect your decisions on the bench?"
A few weak chuckles drift from the candidates' table. One prospective jurist wistfully shakes his head. Alas, only three of the 17 candidates — who've put together $1.9 million among them in contributions and loans — get a chance to tackle the truth bomb.
Abby Cynamon is not one of them, but she certainly has enough fundraising experience to speak to the issue. An avid rower with wavy brown hair brushing her shoulders, Cynamon lived through the early death of her mother, a childhood in the foster-care system, and a gruesome injury when a cab snapped her shin in half a few weeks before she was to begin law school.

Australia coach Robbie Deans said his team had been taught a lesson by France, who hammered the tourists 33-6 in Paris.
The Wallabies pack was dismantled by the French scrum, leaving their backs feeding off scraps and Deans admits they have plenty of work to do before they take on England at Twickenham next week.
"Our set piece was part of the challenge and the effectiveness of the French around the contact meant we had no momentum, so when we tried to play to width in the second half, it was ineffective," said Deans.
"In terms of the scrum, the French grew in confidence, just like their game. They started to play with a lot more exuberance and got in behind us.
"It was a very complete performance from the French. They were too good for us. They grew in confidence. It was an arm wrestle for a bit, but they deserved their victory.
"They stymied our momentum, we were unable to create any effective recycling of the ball and we turned over a lot of ball in the contact area."

I like it because in a 3v3, I feel like I have more of an impact on the direction of the game. Instead of just being 1 in 5 players, you are 1 in 3, every action you make has a lot more weight to it. The feeling of the map is just great, I've always liked 3v3. The only reasons why I don't play it more is because if you don't have certain champs and the enemy team does, you are at a massive disadvantage and there is no Normal Draft. That and it's obnoxiously difficult to actually finish the game, breaking a turtling team is painfully difficult even if you are leaps and bounds ahead.

Compare first n characters of strings (case sensitive)
TF = strncmp(string,string,n)
TF = strncmp(string,cellstr,n)
TF = strncmp(cellstr,cellstr,n)
TF = strncmp(string,string,n) compares the first n characters of two strings for equality. The function returns a scalar logical 1 for equality, or scalar logical 0 for inequality.
TF = strncmp(string,cellstr,n) compares the first n characters of a string with the first n characters of each element of a cell array of strings. The function returns a logical array the same size as the cellstr input in which logical 1 represents equality. The order of the first two input arguments is not important.
TF = strncmp(cellstr,cellstr,n) compares each element of one cell array of strings with the same element of the other. strncmp attempts to match only the first n characters of these strings. The function returns a logical array the same size as either input array.
string |
Single character string or n-by-1 array of strings. |
cellstr |
Cell array of strings. |
n |
Maximum number of characters to compare. Must be a scalar, integer-valued double. |
Before trying the strncmp function, use strcmp to perform a simple comparison of the two input strings. Because only the first 13 characters are the same, strcmp returns logical 0:
strcmp('Kansas City, KS', 'Kansas City, MO') ans = 0
Do the comparison again, but this time using strncmp and specifying the number of characters to compare:
chars2compare = length('Kansas City, KS') - 2 ans = 13 strncmp('Kansas City, KS', 'Kansas City, MO', chars2compare) ans = 1
From a list of 10 MATLAB® functions, find those that apply to using a camera:
function_list = {'calendar' 'case' 'camdolly' 'circshift' ... 'caxis' 'camtarget' 'cast' 'camorbit' ... 'callib' 'cart2sph'}; strncmp(function_list, 'cam', 3) ans = 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 function_list{strncmp(function_list, 'cam', 3)} ans = camdolly ans = camtarget ans = camorbit
Create two 5-by-10 string arrays str1 and str2 that are equal, except for the element at row 4, column 3. Using linear indexing, this is element 14:
str1 = ['AAAAAAAAAA'; 'BBBBBBBBBB'; 'CCCCCCCCCC'; ... 'DDDDDDDDDD'; 'EEEEEEEEEE'] str1 = AAAAAAAAAA BBBBBBBBBB CCCCCCCCCC DDDDDDDDDD EEEEEEEEEE str2 = str1; str2(4,3) = '-' str2 = AAAAAAAAAA BBBBBBBBBB CCCCCCCCCC DD-DDDDDDD EEEEEEEEEE
Because MATLAB compares the arrays in linear order (that is, column by column rather than row by row), strncmp finds only the first 13 elements to be the same:
str1 A B C D E A B C D E A B C D E str2 A B C D E A B C D E A B C - E | element 14 strncmp(str1, str2, 13) ans = 1 strncmp(str1, str2, 14) ans = 0

Convoy veterans given first Arctic Star medals
Forty veterans of the World War II Arctic convoys have become the first recipients of a new medal.
Prime Minister David Cameron hailed the men as a "group of heroes", as he presented them with the newly-created Arctic Star.
The Arctic convoys, reportedly called the "worst journey in the world" by Winston Churchill, took supplies to the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1945.
More than 3,000 men died while on the convoys.
Cdr Eddie Grenfell, 93, was given his Arctic Star at a special ceremony in Portsmouth earlier as he was too ill to travel to the ceremony at Number 10 Downing Street.
"Start Quote
End Quote Prime Minister David CameronI am only sorry that it has taken 70 years to get to here and to say thank you"
Convoy veterans were previously eligible for the Atlantic Star but Cdr Grenfell campaigned for 16 years for a specific Arctic medal. Its creation was announced by David Cameron in December.
The 93-year-old said it felt wonderful to receive the medal and that it would be "churlish to ignore" the part played by Mr Cameron in its creation.
Presenting the medals, the prime minister said: "I can't think of a prouder day that I have had in this job or a group of people I am more honoured to share it with.
"I am only sorry that it has taken 70 years to get to here and to say thank you."
Frank Bond, 89, from Eltham in south east London, said: "It's the culmination of 72 years since I first went on the Russian convoy, to recognise not what I did but what the sailors who gave their lives did.
"I am not a hero, I am a survivor but the guys who went up there, they really had it rough and a lot of them didn't come back."
'The worst journey in the world'
- The Arctic convoys were made up of vessels which travelled from Britain to northern Russia to resupply the Soviet Union during World War II
- Under constant threat of attack by German U-boats and aircraft, the craft also had to deal with severe cold, storms, and ice floes
- By May 1945, the Arctic route had claimed 104 merchant and 16 military vessels. Thousands of Allied seamen lost their lives
- Winston Churchill reportedly called the route the "worst journey in the world"
Source: National Maritime Museum
The prime minister also joined three Arctic convoy veterans for a tour of HMS Belfast, which celebrated the 75th anniversary of its launch last weekend, as they showed him where ice was cleared from the deck in perilous circumstances.
Members of Bomber Command were also awarded the newly-created Bomber Command clasp at a separate Downing Street ceremony.
Mr Cameron also described how 55,000 of the 125,000 people who joined Bomber Command lost their lives.
He said the decision to create a Bomber Command clasp was the right one, telling veterans and their families it had been vital in defeating Nazi Germany.
Among the Bomber Command veterans was Doug Radcliffe, 89, from Hampstead, north west London.
He said: "We are deeply honoured. It really is an honour to be here, a very special day.
"It's not just a clasp, it's an honour.
"It adds to one of the things that's been missing for 60 or 70 years."
The decision to award the clasp followed recommendations of a review of military decorations by former diplomat Sir John Holmes, who also concluded that Bomber Command had been treated "inconsistently" with their Fighter Command counterparts.

Things That Make Me Smile: Objects Handmade(y)
January 12, 2010
I adore my crochet doilies from Ikea. Not sure what to do with them yet, though I find this very inspiring.
And I am treasuring my hand-cut wooden anchor necklace by Emedemarta. Opening the package was quite the experience; little brown paper packages tied up in red and white baker's twine, a thoughtful handwritten note, a little pouch to store my necklace, and little extras thrown in with my order. Definitely my favorite Etsy store right now.
And speaking of handmade, my good friend Stacie and her sister are doing an apron giveaway on their blog Never Enough. My post is a little late on this as the contest ends this Wednesday, but head over there for your chance to win a retro, Minnie-Mouse inspired apron. Good luck!

They go really fast, so I'd sign up for her shop update and stay within a 1-foot radius around your computer this Thursday evening. A week ago, I managed to snap up one of the last two. Definitely my favorite necklace right now, which means I freak out whenever the kids get near it.
Renegade Craft Fair
July 13, 2009
We visited the LA Renegade Craft Fair, and went through as *slowly* as the boys allowed. In other words, Dax's mini tantrums and signature back-arching move kept us from staying at one booth longer than two minutes. Kai did just fine. Which is great, since he better get used to being dragged around places that involve the words 'handmade,' 'arts,' and 'crafts.' Many more years of that to come, kids. (But I will buy you ice cream, promise.)
Artists that I liked:

for the three-color crab print above. It was really amazing.)

Coir Plugs. Now, why haven't I tried these before?!
This year, I'm growing some Chilli Plants from seed, starting them off in an indoor propagator. I have a pack of Coir Compost Plugs which are clever little products. They come dried, and expand and rehydrate once warm water is poured on them, becoming a few inches in height and just the right size to drop in a seed and let it grow!
The great thing is, that once the seedling starts growing and getting to a decent size, the whole Coir Plug can be repotted into a larger pot, reducing the impact on the young plant. Perfect things for a single Chilli seed.

Note also that the public opinion is that this guy wasted resources and caused a scare, rather than it being the TSA that is a waste and triggers massive reactions to simple misunderstandings.

There's only 1 month left of Summer of Fitness workouts, the outdoor fitness series sponsored by LOLË and FITiST which spotlights different NYC fitness studios and instructors each week. (Summer, pleeasse sllooooooow dooownnn!) The best way I can describe this past week's workout, a Zumba class led by Z Club NY, was this: it was a trip. Z Club's motto is "have some healthy fun" – and I can attest that they live up to their words.
Truth be told, this was my first time taking a Zumba class, so I didn't quite know what to expect. Zumba is a high intensity calorie torching workout which incorporates elements of hip-hop, samba, salsa, merengie, mambo, martial arts, Bollywood, and belly dancing… with some lunges and squats thrown in for good measure. Totally frightening no big deal. Edmee Cherdieu D'Alexis led our class, with the help of 2 other Z Club instructors as well as a couple of very special guests: her kids. (Cute, right?)
The Z Club folks were fierce. I actually had a tough time keeping up with the choreography, and felt like I wasn't the only one in that boat. The choreography was repetitive enough that I could catch on about midway through each song, but varied enough that I'm sure I butchered nearly every move. (I then appreciated being outdoors in Hudson River Park for a new reason: It was a small favor to not be in a mirrored studio where I'd have to watch myself fumble and bumble around so much.)
However, regardless of being 2 steps behind at all times, I had a blast. There was a huge smile plastered across my face (and everyone else's faces) for the entire hour. I now understand why Zumba has such a cult following- it was so. much. fun. I originally declared that there would be absolutely zero photo evidence of my first foray into Zumba, but I changed my mind. I'm in the bottom right corner of the photo below, hot pink sneakers, rocking out. Oh yeah.
Would I do a Zumba workout again? Absolutely. Would I do another Fitist/Lole workout in the park? Yes, ma'am. Next Tuesday, in fact. If you haven't already jumped on the Summer of Fitness bandwagon, you should. Come join in the fun!
I know I'm totally late to the Zumba game, but maybe I'm not the only one. Have you ever taken a Zumba class?

Why do we get headaches? It's usually a blood flow problem. But really all we want to know is how do we get rid of a headache without having to take ibuprofen, aspirin and other medications that are hard on your liver and stomach. I love warning labels on these bottles, they are hilarious. But that's another discussion, let's get down to the giving people relief.
If you you get frequent headaches or migraines the best thing is the Life Long Vitality Pack. It brings the body to balance and helps reduce inflammation that could be causing these headaches.
Oils that help headaches:
Past Tense (my favorite but some people don't like the smell)
Deep Blue
How to APPLY OILS FOR HEADACHES: This step is crucial to finding relief. Do not apply once and think oh it didn't work, I'm heading for the advil. Reapply!
Step 1: apply to back of neck, temporal artery (the artery right above the ear close to where glasses would rest), some people like to apply to temples and forehead (for me that's too much but I rarely get headaches)
Step 2: In 30 seconds Assess the degree of the headache, has it decreased at all.
Step 3: In 2 minutes if it does not feel better either reapply the same oil or pick one of the oils mentioned above and try that one.
Step 4: Repeat the process until desired outcome! Which of course is headache free!
Now go get rid of that headache the right way!

According to TechCrunch ,Bitcoin changeable price attracted much attention last week again ,one is its price rose by 25% in a week ,another is that a report points out that robots from Mt.Gox operated Bitcoin price .
Bitcoin price rises but its trading times are the same .
Bitcoin latest trading price is about 580 dollars rising by 25% in a week .It seems that customers are interested in it again .However ,its trading frequency hasnt risen the daily trading times of Bitcoin exchanging website Coinbase are still from 50,000to 75,000,but the Bitcoin trading amount in Bitcoin trading places is rising rapidly .
The statistics of daily trading times of Bitcoin trading places (expect Coinbase )last one month.
Bitcoin exchanging price change last one month
Secretive account willy
Someone publishes a report called Willy Report through Wordpress .The report draws a conclusion through the trading record of Mt.Gox :Mt.Gox owns robot account ,and it made much effect on Bitcoin rising price on November last year .Its operator may be Mt.Gox itself .
Willy Report calls the robot as Willy it is not a single account ,but an account only buys not sells founded on 27th September ,2013.
Its peculiarity :set an account and spend a very exact amount in buying Bitcoin (about 2.5 million dollars ),then set a new account again .After an account stops ,another account may continue .The account has spent 0.112 billion dollars in buying about 0.27 million trunk Bitcoin .And most Bitcoin were bought on November ,2013,while Bitcoin price rose crazily in this month.
Somebody said that Bitcoin rapidly changeable price was made by Chinese .And some said one or two accounts may not make a big effect on the global market .But according to Willy Report ,the willy account made a big effect on Bitcoin price .
Who is the operator ?According to Willy Report ,the robot account may be the criminal of the 0.5 billion dollars stolen Bitcoin .Its operator may be Mt.Gox itself .
Will Bitcoin appear new round increase ?
In fact ,if Bitcoin trading amount increases ,its applicable value can be realized.
What should we pay more attention to ?trading times or Bitcoin trading amount ?They are all important ,but trading times may be more important .As Bitcoin fans use it in their lives constantly ,we can see that the trading times will increase .
Anyway ,Bitcoin backlash means that it may be a large amount of money to buy it .
Remaks: Due to language difference, sometimes people out of China cant know what happened in China quickly. so we are here to make effort to change little, we will translate 3-4 bitcoin news in China to English everyday to help people out of China know what happened and what people thinks about bitcoin in China, If somewhere translate not that good, pls PM us so that we can correct it.

"Mysteries of The Bible"
In Genesis 1:26
Then God said, "Let Us make man in our image, according to Our likeness, let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creams on earth.
Then in Genesis 1:27
So God created man in His own image; image of God.
In Genesis 3:22
Then the Lord said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever.
*How & Why did versus 1:26 - 1:27 all of a sudden change from "Us & Our" to "His"?
*Who is "Us & Our"? Is he referring to Angels and Demons?
Genesis 2:24
Man shal leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife and they shall become one flesh.
(Note that this is before where Adam and Eve ate the "Forbidden Fruit" in 3:6 - 3:7
*We know father mentioned here is "God" thy father. But who is his mother?
Also another issue is some Christian people say that Adam and Eve weren't blind at first but in Genesis 3:4 The Serpent said to the woman, "You will not sureley die. 3:5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.
3:6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave it to her husband with her, and he ate.
3:7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they
