Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Tablet Plus
Bernardus Lodge & Spa
415 West Carmel Valley Road, Carmel Valley, CA, USA
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
The location alone would be enough to make Bernardus Lodge an attractive resort getaway. Tucked into the pines and oaks of Carmel Valley, the Lodge is remote enough to provide a measure of seclusion, yet still just minutes from the picturesque town of Carmel-by-the-Sea, and a short (and scenic) drive from Big Sur.
Location, though, is not all the Lodge has going for it. The hotel is affiliated with the Bernardus winery and vineyard, and is a gourmet's dream, with a first-class restaurant and one of the region's top chefs. The cuisine is California regional; the materials are local game and organic produce, much grown on the resort grounds. The wine list, naturally, is extensive due to the hotel's wine cellar housing more than 25,000 bottles of wine with 1500 labels. And the setting is spectacular, with panoramic views from the outdoor terrace.
Though the food and wine are reason enough for many to visit, there are other attractions. Tennis, croquet, and bocce are among the physical activities, and the spa offers splendid inactivity within 5300 square feet housing 7 treatment rooms, with a number of unique treatments, many also served outdoors in the cool and fragrant Pacific breeze.
There are only 57 rooms at Bernardus Lodge, and the level of service is excellent, making the whole affair seem even smaller and more exclusive than it already is. The rooms are attractive enough, but comfort is paramount — the bedding alone may be worth the stay, and between the massive tubs and limestone fireplaces, you may find you don't get outside very often.
Of course this is not a tragedy — this is that sort of place, a destination unto itself. There is sailing, sightseeing, and shopping to be had in Carmel, and a scenic 17-mile drive to be driven. Even the Monterey Aquarium is nearby. But the whole point of a resort like Bernardus is that you don't have to leave if you don't want to — for many of us, eating, drinking, and sleeping are the only ingredients necessary for a relaxing holiday.
How to get there:
Bernardus Lodge is approximately a 2 hour drive from San Francisco International Airport and a 20 minute drive from the regional Monterey Peninsula Airport (MRY).
- Complimentary upgrade upon hotel check-in, based upon availability
- One complimentary glass of champagne or one cocktail, per guest, upon arrival

Neil's OT goal lifts Sens over Rangers in Game 2
NEW YORK Chris Neil scored 1:17 into overtime, and the Ottawa Senators rallied for a wild 3-2 victory over the New York Rangers in Game 2 to even the first-round Eastern Conference series Saturday night.
Neil got to a loose puck in front off a rebound and backhanded the puck past goalie Henrik Lundqvist.
The top-seeded Rangers seemed poised to grab a 2-0 series lead when Brian Boyle scored in the third period, but Nick Foligno tied it with 4:37 left in regulation.
Erik Karlsson also scored for the Senators, who exacted some revenge on Boyle for some shots he took at Karlsson during Game 1. A brawl led to the ejections of Ottawa defenseman Matt Carkner and New York forward Brandon Dubinsky just 2:15 in.
Anton Stralman had the other goal for the Rangers.
Game 3 of the best-of-seven series is Monday night in Ottawa, followed by Game 4 on Wednesday night. The series will return to New York for Game 5 next Saturday.
Foligno helped ensure that the Senators would still be alive then when he got to a loose puck off a shot by Zenon Konopka that got past Rangers defenseman Marc Staal and slammed it up and over the sprawling Lundqvist from the edge of the crease to tie it.
Boyle appeared to be in line to be the star of the game when he fired in a shot from the slot, as he was being knocked sideways by a hit from Jesse Winchester. That gave the Rangers their second lead of the night, 2-1 at 2:41 of the third.
Boyle was already the prime focus on a night in which he was targeted early and often by the Senators. He was jumped by Carkner along the side boards and absorbed numerous punches while he was up on his skates and after he fell to the ice and tried to cover up.
Dubinsky also was kicked out for being the third man in when he came to Boyle's defense.
Craig Anderson made 27 saves, all in regulation, to earn the win for the eighth-seeded Senators. Lundqvist stopped 29 shots.
The Rangers' much-maligned power play finally came through after falling during the 5-minute advantage New York received for Carkner's fighting penalty.
With defenseman Sergei Gonchar off for tripping, Stralman took a cross-zone pass from defense partner Dan Girardi and fired a shot from the top edge of the right circle that pinballed off Anderson and squeezed between his pads at 10:16.
That lead held up for the rest of the first period and deep into the second when Ottawa's more potent power play cashed in on a 5-minute advantage of its own.
Usually mild-mannered rookie speedster Carl Hagelin landed a hard hit on Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson along the side boards in the Ottawa end. Hagelin got his elbow up and struck Alfredsson in the head, earning a major penalty.
Alfredsson didn't return to the game.
Just over 3 minutes into the advantage, Karlsson flung the puck in front from below the goal line, deep in the right corner of the Rangers' end. As New York defenseman Michael Del Zotto skated in to help protect the crease, he stuck out his left skate and deflected the puck past Lundqvist to tie it at 1 with 6:10 left in the second.

The US Senate has called for possible sanctions against individuals responsible for state violence against Ukrainian demonstrators protesting Kiev's decision to abandon long-awaited trade and political deals with the European Union.
"In the event of further state violence against peaceful protestors, the President and Congress should consider whether to apply targeted sanctions, including visa bans and asset freezes, against individuals responsible for ordering or carrying out the violence," lawmakers said in a Senate resolution passed Tuesday.
Mass protests broke out across Ukraine after Kiev stunned Europe on November 21 by announcing that it would indefinitely postpone the signing of association and trade deals with the EU. The protests took a more radical turn after riot police violently cleared downtown Kiev's Independence Square on November 30.
Instead of proceeding with the expected EU deals, Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych's government strengthened ties with Russia last month, striking a $15 billion bailout package with Russian President Vladimir Putin to stabilize Ukraine's finances.
In the Senate resolution passed Tuesday, US lawmakers criticized the U-turn as counter to the will of the Ukrainian people, the result of "Russian economic coercion," and intended "to protect the narrow interests of some officials and individuals."
Yanukovych's government appeared to take the resolution in stride, with the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry saying Wednesday that it considers the adoption of the initiative to be "a sign of support for the European choice of our country and its democratic development."
"The Government of Ukraine remains committed to the strategic course towards European integration and continuation of democratic reforms," the ministry said in a statement.
The ministry also welcomed US lawmakers' call for all sides to refrain from violence, saying it is "fully consistent" with the Ukrainian government's approach and noting that Yanukovych has "condemned the use of force on the part of law enforcement agencies and individual protesters."
Russia has repeatedly criticized what it describes as outside interference in the tense standoff between Ukrainian authorities and protesters.
Officials in Europe and the United States, meanwhile, have accused Moscow of using economic levers to pressure Kiev into closer integration with its ex-Soviet neighbor – a charge Russian officials have denied.
RIA Novosti
As has been reported, last April the Monitoring Committee met during the spring session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. A special subcommittee was created at that meeting - the Ad hoc Sub-Committee on Conflicts between Member States of the Council of Europe. This new entity, which will be directly responsible for looking into so-called «frozen conflicts» in the former Soviet Union, should have official status and begin its work in June. It met for the first time in Paris on May 27...

TLC vs. Almost new
Capttb, Don''t you end up doing almost every bit of that on a comparatively new boat. When you talk about the list of tasks that you go through on an older boat,(hoses, clamps, hardware, pumps, impellors etc. doing the routine maintenance such as changing oils, belts & filters, lubing all the hardware above deck and checking for bent, broken, corroded stuff) that is pretty much annual maintenance. Wouldn''t you do this on a boat that was as new as a year old? And having commissioned a number of boats, haven''t you found missing hose clamps and winches that were not lubed at the factory, etc on the new boats that you have purchased?
It seems to me, when you buy a new boat you have all of the usual things to go through that you would when buying a used boat, plus you have the massive exercise of commissioning a new boat. At least with a 4 or 5 year old boat, you have a chance to see if there are manufacturing issues that showed up during the first owner''s tenure and to duck the commissioning and new boat depreciation. After 4 or 5 years the prices of most decent quality boats seem to level off.

Zillow Partnership Platform: Designed for Shared Interests
When I joined Zillow in March, my primary assignment was building bridges to the MLS and broker communities – talk with them and help them understand what Zillow is all about and more importantly how we can be better partners in the real estate space. What I found very quickly was there were three things we needed to work on as the policies we had in place were:
- Not known to the brokers and agents they were intended to help, or
- Very misunderstood by that same audience, or
- Major concerns of brokers and MLSs could be better addressed and discussed in a more collaborative environment
I also found that many of the misconceptions about Zillow had become urban legend, accepted as fact merely by token of being repeated so frequently without rebuttal or correction.
We are now unveiling what I think will be a giant step toward correcting those issues. We are introducing the Zillow Partnership Platform (ZPP), an invitation from Zillow to its industry partners (both present and future) to clearly define in a written covenant the commitment Zillow is prepared to make to any party that wishes to participate. The ZPP creates mutual benefit for all parties.
What is Zillow Partnership Platform?
ZPP is a foundational approach to listing display management created by a direct contractual relationship between Zillow and the originators (brokers) or keepers (MLSs) of the listing information. The channel through which the data is delivered is of less importance than the commitment by both parties to work toward a common goal – accurate listing data that serves the consumer well and meets the agents' needs. Zillow is committed to that goal and we are looking for partners who share that vision and commitment.
Key Points of ZPP
ZPP starts with Zillow's commitment to accuracy, completeness and timeliness of the listing data that everyone wants and values, including these major points:
- Listings will be updated as frequently as the broker or MLS partner allows
- Listings are published ONLY on the Yahoo!-Zillow Real Estate Network and displayed ONLY on the websites Zillow powers
- Listing data are NEVER re-distributed elsewhere
- Registered agents are given attribution and receive inquiries on their listings at no cost
- Zillow will honor any broker's opt-out decision
The Ultimate Goal
Frankly, agents and consumers expect Zillow to work with the MLS and its brokers to deliver a true picture of the market. Toward that end, ZPP strives to eliminate the confusion associated with stale data, lagging price changes, and incorrect statuses. But we can only do that by getting listing updates from the most reliable curated source in near real time. That's our goal with ZPP.
There are many more commitments Zillow is offering to make to its partners as part of their participation in the program and delivery of contemporaneous listing updates to Zillow. Zillow Partnership Platform details are here for all to see. If you would like to discuss how your brokerage or MLS can participate in the program, please contact me directly by writing to firstname.lastname@example.com and let's find a time to talk.

ICT Hubs growth across Africa has so far been seen as a nexus point for economic growth and 'techprenuership' development in Africa. In addition, these innovation spaces can be viewed as a catalyst for socio-economic development through creation of technology-led entrepreneurs and youth employment.
In Kenya, it is evident that majority of the ICT Hubs are concentrated in the capital city, Nairobi, where we currently have at least 16 innovation spaces ranging from; business incubators, pre-incubation spaces, hubs located in university institutions, knowledge centers, incubation spaces, maker labs and investments hubs. On the other hand, in the 2 other capital cities, Mombasa and Kisumu, we only have virtual spaces in each, Mombasa tech community hub and Lake hub respectively.However, it does not look like it will stop there, just recently,ICEAddis in Ethiopia saw an opportunity and are currently in the process of setting up an ICENakuru that focuses on training youthful entrepreneurs in leadership, technical and soft skills to solve problems in Nakuru county through innovative solutions.
It is clear that Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have the potential to change old and new forms of economic activity. This can result in e-literate groups and unemployed youths having access to resources to develop solutions centered towards their community problems. Such groups would also be able to gain skills and knowledge through exchange of ideas and events and workshops. Therefore there is need for ICT Hubs based in the urban areas to start evaluating potential opportunities to extend their services and support beyond the city. The first step is to identify the factors, needs and challenges faced in setting up a Hub in the rural areas as well as learn from the past failures of existing local initiatives, e.g. Pasha centers.
Pasha centers, a public private partnership initiative that was expected to deepen use of ICT in rural areas by providing host of services to the public via computers connected to the internet, or by using and marketing other ICT-enabled applications has been termed as a failure. This is because of various reasons that include but not limited to:
- A recent report commissioned by the Kenya ICT Board noted that more than half of the about 60 entrepreneurs that had been advanced loans are unable to service their loans and the many licence fees that the centers have to pay as well as the structuring of the loan that entrepreneurs received to start of the digital villages has been crippling to the project.
- The entrepreneurs that received loans from the digital villages (Pasha centers) say the project failed due to misunderstood nature of the centers by the local authorities that subjected Pasha Centre owners to constant harassment.
Tech entrepreneurs in rural areas face a myriad of challenges including: lack of Internet access, lack of business support, lack of business expertise and skills and lack of training. These challenges have hindered their growth and sometimes forced entrepreneurs to relocate to Nairobi to access some of these resources. ICT hubs could play a major role in curbing some of these challenges experienced by rural tech communities,in order to ensure the development and growth of their ventures.
There is potential for an ICT hub model implementation in rural cities to help in addressing most of these issues by identifying services and functions needed by communities. Most importantly, urban ICT Hubs need to understand that contexts of different communities vary based on their needs, therefore services and functions may differ from one community to another.
It is on this note, that iHub Research will be further investigating the potential of setting up an ICT hub model in the rural areas in Kenya as well as comparing different factors to consider while scaling to different counties and assessing potential application areas where rural tech entrepreneurs could create innovations based on county needs in enhancing socio economic development.This investigation will be conducted under iHub Research's local Research Fellows program and will be an extension of the ongoing ICT Hubs research study that aims to understand the unique factors that make up ICT Hub models across Africa.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Microsoft posted its first quarterly loss in its 26 years as a public company on Thursday as it declared a struggling online ad business a bust and prepared for one of the biggest product updates in its history.
The software company had warned two weeks ago that it would take a $6.2 billion charge in the April-June quarter because its 2007 purchase of online ad service aQuantive failed to help it compete with Google Inc. The amount reflected the bulk of the $6.3 billion acquisition cost.
The online ad business remains just a tiny part of Microsoft _ comprising just 4 percent of its annual revenue. Most of the company's sales come from its Office suite of productivity software, Windows operating system and, increasingly, computer servers.
Upbeat business software and server sales in the quarter helped offset a flat market for personal computers, which had put a damper on Windows sales. Taken as a whole, the software giant's results beat analyst expectations.
Shares rose 2.4 percent to $31.39 in after-hours trading following the earnings announcement.
Including the big write-down on aQuantive, Microsoft booked a $492 million loss in the fiscal fourth quarter, or 6 cents a share. That compares with earnings of $5.9 billion, or 69 cents, a year ago.
Revenue rose 4 percent to $18.06 billion.
Excluding the adjustment and the deferral of some revenue related to its upcoming Windows 8 operating system, earnings came to 73 cents per share.
Analysts polled by FactSet were looking for 62 cents per share of earnings on revenue of $18.15 billion.
"The quarter was pretty much in line across major segments of the business," Nomura analyst Rick Sherlund said.
Microsoft's fortunes are now tied to the Oct. 26 release of Windows 8, the most extreme redesign of the company's flagship operating system since 1995. Windows 8 will feature a new look and boast new technology that will enable the operating system to work on touch-controlled tablet computers, as well as Microsoft's traditional stronghold of desktop and laptop computers. In conjunction with Windows 8, Microsoft is planning to release its own tablet, the Surface.
A revamped version of Office, which bundles word processing, spreadsheet and email programs, is also in the works. Earlier this week, Microsoft previewed how the next version of Office will work on tablet computers running on Windows 8.
The company was conservative forecasting how much the product revamps will help drive revenue.
Chief Financial Officer Peter Klein told analysts that for the coming year, "We expect Windows revenue to be roughly in line with the PC market" which it said was flat in the last quarter and is expected to continue that way in the three months through September.
Even if Windows revenue is flat, that will be an improvement since revenue in the division has now dropped in five of the past seven quarters. It fell 13 percent in the quarter to $4.1 billion.

The Mumbai police recently upgraded themselves by adopting a new technology that can help them to not only trace suspected vehicles, but also give them details of a mobile phone subscriber's records within seconds.
The technology can help them zero in on suspects of petty crimes, like chain snatching, as well as trace the suspected phone numbers in case of any operation against terrorists.
Known as Talash, it was recently adopted by the central region of the city police as a pilot project and is connected with all police stations within the region. It has been prepared by Jagjit Singh Garewal, 30, for the Mumbai Police. Garewal left his job in an MNC and started making softwares for the police.
Deputy commissioner of police (DCP), zone III, Kishor Jadhav said every DCP has got access to data of Subscriber Detail Records (SDR) of mobile phone users from the data given by service providers.
"We can also access the data online as we have been given the login authorisation. But since the authorisation was available only to a DCP, only I could see the details. Now, we have connected this data with the Talash system through which we just need to send in the mobile number of the suspected user on the Talash software number. The system will soon provide us with the user's SDR, and through my login my staff can access the data from their mobile phones," Jadhav said.
He added that in cases of threatening and/or vulgar calls it used to take 10 to 15 days to trace the mobile phone user, but now it will take a few seconds.
Another major advantage of the software is that it will help the police trace vehicles they are searching for in nakabandi, those involved in hit-and-run cases, as well as the ones abandoned and stolen.
"The National Informatics Centre in Delhi has the data of all the government departments across the country, including RTOs, since 2007. It has given read-only access to DCPs. The vehicle user details can also be obtained through the chassis and engine number of vehicle. The details are messaged to the system and the system sends back a reply on a real time basis. The system has been made available by me to the local police station through my login system," said Jadhav.

Can Predictive Coding Relieve The Burdens Of Electronic Discovery? and Seeking a Preliminary Injunction? Don't Forget to Post a Bond
Excerpt from Can Predictive Coding Relieve The Burdens Of Electronic Discovery?
In civil litigation, the burden imposed by obligations to retain, sort, and exchange electronically stored information ("ESI") with the opposing party can be tremendous. In the nearly twenty years since e-discovery issues began to emerge, these costs have shaped strategy and outcomes in complex commercial disputes. Today, predictive coding, an emerging search technology and litigation tool, promises to relieve these burdens on litigants.

Wynonna, husband triumph over tragedy
After losing his left leg in a motorcycle accident witnessed by his famous wife, Cactus Moser has battled back. The couple are now on tour together.
Moser, however, has opted to continue drumming the old-fashioned way.
"There are no tricks, no buttons; he has just figured out a way to overcome," Wynonna said of her husband. "He gets on the (tour) bus and says: 'I'm sore.' He's fighting hard and will be a victor, not a victim. Everywhere we go, he talks to people in the military and other amputees."
Enduring such a devastating accident and its aftermath would be a challenge for any couple, let alone one married for such a short time, as Moser acknowledged in an interview with US magazine earlier this year.
"We're living two different realities," he told US in March. "We learned to respect that we each have our own pain."
Wynonna agrees that the two have had to undergo major adjustments. But she believes that the tragedy has ultimately made them a stronger, more loving couple. The aftermath of the accident, and the couple's renewed commitment to overcome their travails, was chronicled earlier this year in the TV film documentary "Wynonna & Cactus: The Road Back."
"I went from being a newlywed to being a nurse, in a matter of minutes," she said speaking from a tour stop in Minnesota. "It was such a labor of love on my part. And, yet, Cactus proved to me that all things are possible for those who believe (in a higher power). I don't know what the best word (to describe it) is… miraculous? But he's quite a force to be reckoned with. I've loved him since I was 20 and he was in (the band) Highway 101 and I was in The Judds, and we were on tour together."
The Judds, the country-music duo featuring Wynonna and her mother, Naomi, rose to national prominence in the 1980s. Between 1984 (when Wynonna was just 20) and 1989, the duo scored 14 consecutive chart-topping singles, including "Mama He's Crazy," "Girls Night Out" and "Let Me Tell You About Love."
The Judds did their farewell tour in 1991. That was one year after Naomi was diagnosed with hepatitis C, which she speculated she had contracted working as a nurse in her pre-Judds years as a struggling single mother (actress Ashley Judd is Wynonna's sister).
Wynonna released her first solo album in 1992. Apart from a Judds' reunion tour in 2000, she has focused on her own career, which thus far has seen her complete 13 more albums. The most recent, 2009's excellent "Sing: Chapter 1," finds her shining in an array of styles, from vintage blues and New Orleans R&B classics to country, soul and pop (with the exquisite Burt Bacharach/Hal David ballad, "Anyone Who Had a Heart"). Her next album, co-produced by Moser, is due out later this year.
"A lot has changed from when I first got in to country music," Wynonna said. "I marvel at the young generation of 'Juddheads' (fans) who come to see me perform and don't know what a cassette tape is! The fans who are my age understand what it means for me to have shared dressing rooms when I was young with Dolly Parton and Dotty West.
"I've performed for four presidents and been on 'Oprah' 18 times, more than any other female. But I'm such a work in progress. And I'm on stage with my husband, who almost died a year ago, and he stands up on stage each night and gets a standing ovation. It's a miraculous story. And I think me sharing it gives people hope that if I can do it, they can, too."

When: 8 p.m. Wednesday
Where: Belly Up, 143 South Cedros Avenue, Solana Beach

Sunshine on Sweatshops
It's been more than three months since twelve Florida State University students were arrested for setting up a "tent city" in front of the school's administration building. But the uproar over the arrests, and the continuing presence of a group of sweatshop activists camped out on an FSU quad, have left an indelible mark on this campus known more for holding national titles in football and "party school" rankings than for student protest activity.
The tent-city protest was intended to end a long debate with the administration, which refuses to join the Worker Rights Consortium (WRC), a sweatshop monitoring agency backed by the protesters and faculty, which passed a resolution supporting the students' position. Instead, the arrests marked the beginning of a long standoff between the administration and student protesters, who now find themselves living in tents and sleeping bags to protest both the sweatshop issue and the administration's refusal to tolerate the earlier protest--well after their classmates have gone home for the summer.
The decision made by President Talbot D'Alemberte to arrest the students and move the protest to the school's far less conspicuous free-speech zone has drawn criticism from activists throughout Florida. But former First Amendment attorney D'Alemberte is dismissive of accusations that the school has violated the students' free-speech rights: "I've read the First Amendment pretty carefully, and I don't see any mention of tents."
When it comes to discussion of membership in the WRC, D'Alemberte is similarly hostile. Florida State was one of the founding institutions of the Fair Labor Association (FLA), which has been blasted by student and labor leaders for its inclusion of vendors like Nike on its board of directors. Critics say this organizational structure has resulted in a weakened code of conduct and an inability to independently monitor the companies who sit on its board. Student activists like those at FSU believe the FLA is more of a public relations front than an actual monitoring agency.
This past April the FLA made policy changes that attempt to create a more independent monitoring system. For example, it will no longer allow companies to select which factories will be monitored and when the monitors will perform their inspections, as they did under the old system. But Scott Nova, executive director of the WRC, believes these changes have absolutely no impact on the importance of the WRC. "The WRC exists because there was a need for an independent labor-rights watchdog organization within the college apparel industry," Nova said. "Regardless of what procedural changes are made [at the FLA], there is always going to be a need for an independent watchdog agency."
D'Alemberte claims the WRC is an ineffective monitoring tool looking for violations that amount to a "needle in the haystack" among the college apparel industry. He dismisses the organization as "Amnesty International-lite" and believes it has a "hidden agenda to stigmatize foreign labor in order to push a traditional agenda of protectionism."
But student protesters are suspicious of D'Alemberte's free-trade reasoning. Richie Kent, one of the summer campers, claims D'Alemberte is "looking after the business of Nike and other contractors instead of thousands of workers." Likewise, Jim O'Rourke, an English professor and faculty adviser to the FSU chapter of United Students Against Sweatshops, says that various press releases and statements from the president and the athletic director have given him the sense that "the pressure [not to join the WRC] is coming from the athletic department."
Sit-ins, protests and campouts have been required at many of the 100 universities who have now joined the WRC, and in this respect, FSU is no different. But the consequences of Florida State joining the WRC could be much more substantial than those at many of the other member schools, which might explain why the conflict has become so protracted at Florida State. Pendas says the possible impact of FSU joining is "huge.... We're such a big university...and we're in the South, for Christ's sake!" He predicts a "domino effect" that would result in several other Florida universities joining--perhaps most importantly, the University of Florida, another football powerhouse with millions in licensing revenue pouring in each year.
July 2 marks day 100 of the tent city. Despite the intense summer heat, the dwindling food and supplies and the apparent standstill in negotiations, the students don't seem ready to leave. They anticipate a resolution to this issue in the fall, but until then, they'll be camped in their tents, passing out information on Nike and the WRC to incoming students who are getting their first look at FSU and the student movement that has taken hold of their campus.

Your Body: God's Temple
The Corinthian people had a low view of the body. They believed that it was unimportant and even described it as a tomb in which the soul is incarcerated. But the viewpoint of Scripture is crystal clear: Your body is the temple of the living God.
Read | 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
The world's primary interest in the body is how it looks on the outside: How can it be shaped differently? How can it become more attractive or gain more attention? Regrettably, by worldly standards, success is often dependent on the condition of our bodies.
In contrast, how do you think God views the human body? Do you believe that He is interested only in the soul and spirit, or would you expect Him to also be concerned about our physical bodies?
Despite many popular misconceptions, the Lord is deeply concerned about our human bodies. In today's passage, Paul confirms this truth when he writes, "Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you." Again, in 2 Corinthians 6:16, the apostle describes the human body as the temple of God. The context of this passage reveals many of the same errors in thinking that are common today. The Corinthian people had a low view of the body. They believed that it was unimportant and even described it as a tomb in which the soul is incarcerated.
Paul's response is dynamic. He essentially cries out, "No! The body is not a tomb—it is a temple!" It merits our respect and esteem in the same way that the most holy place of worship deserves upkeep.
The viewpoint of Scripture is crystal clear: Your body is the temple of the living God. This should say something to you about its value and the way you ought to treat it. Furthermore, you should take God's words as a warning against abusing, misusing, or ignoring your own body.

Tip #4
How to keep the engagement going on social media?
Be consistent with your postings. For example post something daily, weekly or biweekly. By doing this you are creating a pattern for you audience to follow. They will know that daily, weekly or bi-weekly you have a fresh post and they will come out in full force to like it and leave their comments. Make sure the gap between post is reasonable and not too lengthy.
On the other hand when there is no set pattern they come and there is nothing fresh, they go somewhere else. The momentum is broken and the engagement dies.
Another thing is to keep the conversation going if someone leaves a comment, respond to the comment and use the person's name.
This creates engagement and everyone likes to feel and be accepted. No one likes to be ignored. The principle is the same as when you are meeting someone for the first time and when you are in a conversation with someone.
You welcome and you respond. You welcome new followers and you respond to their likes and comments. Take it a step further, see their page and leave
Give space between you and the person. Be polite, examine your words carefully. Be encouraging. Listen! Say
I'll say more about that later.
Who are you on Social Media and what do you represent?
Tip #3
Who are you on Social Media and what do you represent?
This needs to be clear!
Use a visible picture of you in the profile picture section to represent you on Facebook.
Use the Cover Picture for everything else. (Cats, dogs, flowers, symbols, babies, food etc)
Chose one picture and use it. Be consistent and do not create confusion for your audience/followers. Use the same picture for Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube etc.
You cannot be a dog today, a baby tomorrow and a symbol another day and then a plate of food for next week and faceless next month.
You must make up your mind and find one picture that you like and use it to represent you.
If someone is looking for you and you have a common name like Debbie Miller-Curtis . Make it easy for them to find you and follow you on any of the social media channels by using a picture that is clear and represents you.
If you have questions please inbox me and I will be more than happy to help…
A Steady Race by Sheran Rowe
This had dropped into my spirit … The race is not for the swift but for the one who endureth to the end. Nevertheless, what caught my attention is the word ENDURETH.
To ENDURE means to suffer something painful.
To hold out against; sustain without impairment or yielding; undergo; to bear without resistance or with patience; tolerate: (Ecc 9.11.) The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happens to them all. Paul said," I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith"(2 Tim.4:7)
Good morning God's people, I feel compelled this morning to encourage you and to emphasize the importance of staying in this Christian race.
This race is not a Relay, it is not a Sprint, nor a short Distant neither is it a long Distant.
You do not have to lift weights; you only have to cast off the "weights" that can easily beset you.
Furthermore, the only training you have to do is for you to follow exactly what the trainer – JESUS, tells you.
• Pray without ceasing.
• Seek ye first the Kingdom of GOD.
• Casting all cares upon Him, He will sustain you.
You do not need your feet for this race. You only need the Holy Spirit. Alleluia!
Do you feel like quitting the Christian Race?
Has your circumstances caused you to want to quit on God?
God is calling you to remain faithful in this race. Be encouraged, He is right there with you, even when your circumstances may say He is not. We are living in a time where the bible declares, "The days are evil", because of all the distractions, that is the economy, unemployment, suffering, lack of faith, love for self and money, self-dependency and many other things.
If you are, feeling discouraged and faced with the desire to quit the Christian race. Remember this race is neither for the swift nor the strong, but to those who endure to the end.
(Philippians 3:14 – ) I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Run this race with patience that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. Be willing to endure trials and temptations, knowing that they only come just to make us strong. Stay in the race, keep a steady pace, keep your eyes on Jesus, and you will finish.
Lord, I thank you for helping me to gain the proper knowledge and understanding on what it means to "stay in the race". I was drifting but God my strength is made perfect in you and you are my joy giver. Thank you for bringing me back to the correct centering to keep my eyes on you and to walk in the spirit.

Mare Nostrum's Conference to Focus on Cross-border Coastal Zone Management
The partners' meeting of the EU-funded Mare Nostrum Project in Alexandroupolis, Greece, will explore ways to improve cross-border cooperation on managing coastal development
ALEXANDROUPOLIS, Greece, February 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ –
The EU-funded Mare Nostrum Project [http://marenostrumproject.eu ] will hold a
partners' meeting in Alexandroupolis, Greece, which will focus on cross-border issues
regarding integrated coastal-zone management (ICZM).
Participants at the conference, which will take place February 18-22, 2014, will
present a series of case studies exploring cross-border cooperation. The presentations
will be given by Mare Nostrum partners [http://marenostrumproject.eu/partners ] and
associates from Greece, Spain, Malta, Turkey, Israel and Jordan. A special guest
presentation by Prof. Nicole Gurran will focus on the policies adopted in Australia.
Mare Nostrum has also invited NGOs from partner countries to take part in a discussion
on their role in managing coastal development.
In an attempt to learn more on the issue and how it is working "on the ground,"
participants will take field trips to the cities of Kavala in Greece and Ainos (Enez),
Turkey, to meet with local authorities, NGOs and other stakeholders. They will also visit
the delta of the Evros/Meric River, which forms the border between Greece and Turkey.
"The meeting in Alexandroupolis will deal with ways to bridge the legal-institutional
gap in neighboring countries in relation to coastal management," said The Technion's Prof.
Rachelle Alterman, initiator and head of the Mare Nostrum Project. "The field trip will
provide us with an excellent opportunity to see how cross-border cooperation works in
reality in neighboring countries such as Greece and Turkey."
Mare Nostrum recently published its first interim report, entitled "Existing Knowledge
on Legal-Institutional Frameworks for Coastline Management. The International, EU and
National Levels [http://marenostrumproject.eu/project-outputs/first-report ]."
The report, which reviews key international ICZM instruments focusing on the Barcelona
Convention's 2008 ICZM Protocol for the Mediterranean, may be downloaded from the
project's Web site [http://marenostrumproject.eu ].
About Mare Nostrum
Mare Nostrum is an EU-funded project which aims to explore new ways of protecting and
managing the Mediterranean coastline within the existing ICZM Mediterranean framework.
The project focuses on understanding the "implementation gap" between the Barcelona
Convention's high expectations and realities on the ground, and on new legal and
institutional tools to improve local practices from the "bottom-up," one level at a time.

©1990 by Roger Angell; (P)1991 by Blackstone Audiobooks
"The best baseball writer of our time." (Chicago Sunday Times)
"Angell is the clear-eyed poet laureate of baseball. His book is like a long, wonderful string of base hits by the home team." (New York Post)
Angell writes with wit and an obvious love for the game. He describes the 1968 season and World Series vividly, making the reader feel he is there! The narrator is pleasantly voiced, steady and clear. I highly recommend it for those who love baseball.
"Beautiful writing, but dated subject"
Elegant game summaries.
The writing is lyrical and the games are recapped succinctly.
The problem I had with the book is I thought it would be about profiles of the big names of baseball in the 60s -- Bob Gibson, Brooks and Frank Robinson, etc. Instead, Angell basically covers the games and the seasons that took place in the 60s. Frankly, it's like someone reading stats from baseball-reference.com to you, albeit with exceptional eloquence. If you're a diehard baseball fan, you'd probably love this. If you're just a casual fan, I don't think you'll find much interesting here.
"The best baseball book ever written? Yup"
I hate reading things like that: The best book ever written -- almost a guarantee for disappointment, but not in this case. Baseball fans usually make lousy writers, and great writers are rarely baseball fans. This book is the intersection of insightful writing and baseball passion, which for me is sheer bliss -- especially when the book is about my childhood heroes: the '69 Mets, Mays, Clemente, Aaron. Beautifully written, thoughtful, clever, deep -- the moment I finished I started it over. Was also nice that it fortuitously coincided with the "Baseball Seasons" show covering the same time period.
The only thing I didn't like was the mispronunciation of several of the ballplayers names, like Jerry Grote (it's not Groat, it's Gro-tee). The sound quality wasn't the greatest, and it's better if the audio book is divided into parts or chapters -- there was no easy way just to go to the last chapter and re-listen.
"Great Stories; Uneven Audio Quality"
I loved these stories and have ordered the book to enjoy them again. The audio quality, however, was so uneven it was occasionally difficult to listen. Good reader, but bad sound engineer. A most unfortunate result for such great writing!
