Internal migration in China occurs as a result of both market forces and government interventions. This paper investigates how indicators of migration have changed over the past quarter of a century using data from successive censuses, with particular attention given to the roles of regional economic development and national policy and the effects of age and education on spatial patterns of migration. The results show a surge in migration throughout the period, an increasing concentration of migration destinations and an improvement of migration efficiency prior to 2000, but a decreased focusing of migration during the first decade of the twenty-first century. Widening regional disparity has been responsible for a sharp increase of migration from the interior to the coast, and different national economic growth poles emerged as major migration destinations at different stages of economic reforms. The analyses of age- and education-specific migration flows indicate that young adults were more mobile and more sensitive than older cohorts to interregional economic differentials, and that educated migrants were more concentrated than less-educated migrants since knowledge-based industries were more concentrated than labour-intensive industries. Our findings suggest that massive eastward migration induced by unbalanced economic development and relaxed migration restrictions still persisted in the 2000s, and that the State's recent efforts to alleviate regional inequalities were far from achieving equilibrium in the migration system.

The man Newsweek claims is the founder of Bitcoin denied he had anything to do with the digital currency.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Dorian Prentice Satoshi Nakamoto said he had never heard of Bitcoin until his son told him he had been contacted by a Newsweek reporter three weeks ago.
Mr. Nakamoto acknowledged that many of the details in Newsweek's report are correct, including that he once worked for a defence contractor, and that his given name at birth was Satoshi. But he strongly disputed the magazine's assertion that he is "the face behind Bitcoin."
"I got nothing to do with it," he said, repeatedly.
Newsweek stands by its account.
Since Bitcoin's birth in 2009, the currency's creator has remained a mystery. The person or people behind its founding have been known only as "Satoshi Nakamoto," which many observers believed to be a pseudonym.
"I'm saying I'm no longer in engineering. That's it," he said of the exchange. "And even if I was, when we get hired, you have to sign this document, contract saying you will not reveal anything we divulge during and after employment. So that's what I implied."
"It sounded like I was involved before with Bitcoin and looked like I'm not involved now. That's not what I meant. I want to clarify that," he said.
Newsweek writer Leah McGrath Goodman, who spent two months researching the story, told the AP: "I stand completely by my exchange with Mr. Nakamoto. There was no confusion whatsoever about the context of our conversation — and his acknowledgment of his involvement in Bitcoin."
Bitcoin has become popular among tech enthusiasts, libertarians and risk-seeking investors because it allows people to make one-to-one transactions, buy goods and services and exchange money across borders without involving banks, credit card issuers or other third parties.

Elections for the post of office-bearers in the state unit of the Youth Congress have run into controversy.
A pet project of Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi, elections for the office-bearers of the Youth Congress were first introduced about two years ago with an objective to wipe out the culture of nominating somebody to the posts and ensure grassroots workers get elected.
However, there were allegations of rigging this time.
Three years ago, Rahul Gandhi even entrusted the job of conducting elections to FAME, an organisation of former election commissioner KJ Rao.
However, despite holding an election, Vishwajit Kadam, son of forest minister Patangrao Kadam, managed to get elected as the president of the Youth Congress state unit, while Satyajit Tambe, nephew of revenue minister Balasaheb Thorat, managed to get elected as the vice president.
The stranglehold of established leaders in the state was seen in the election as none of them elected came from the grassroots.
The elections were completed on January 31 and counting for the elections was held in Nagpur on Monday. Kadam was elected as president.
"Some of the votes were not been counted at all. Therefore, I do not know what happened with my votes. They said 95 per cent voting took place, but we do not know whether ballots were changed. This was not a transparent election and it was not free and fair," said Ramesh Dharmavat, a Pune resident, who fought the election.
Following the complaints, counting of the votes has now been deferred till an inquiry is completed by the central leadership of the Youth Congress.

The officers of the Lima Police Department are trained to handle any situation.
Armed suspects? No problem. Tracking burglars? Sure. Protecting the residents? Absolutely.
But smart alecks on social media? That's a bit more tricky.
"It's something I was not completely prepared for when I took on the role of social media," admitted Sgt. Andy Green, the man in charge of patrol services for the LPD and the guy behind the department's updates on Twitter.com/limapolice and Facebook.com/LimaPoliceDepartment.
It's surprising how many people will openly admit their intentions to commit a crime on social media. Take an exchange from last weekend.
"Bout to get some green. Bahahaha so stoked to smoke," wrote a Twitter user, throwing in hashtags such as #Stoner and #RollinABlunt.
Little did the woman expect this response from the Lima Police Department: "You sure that's a good idea?"
A short conversation ensued before the user summarized, "Lima PD can find time to send me tweets when we've got enough crime going on around here," along with hashtags of #BecauseIGotHigh and #IKnowMyRights.
Lima PD's Green brought the funny: "It's called #multitasking," showing he can use hashtags too while adding #drugsarebad.
Most people are respectful to police officers. Still, police often deal with people trying to incite a negative response when they're on patrol, trying to bait officers into inappropriate reactions.
The Internet brings out an ever worse level in some people, though.
Green said he tries not to fall for the "trolling" on the Internet, when people try to provoke a negative response. Still, he sees "teaching moments" where he can explain why the police handle situations the way they do. Still, he follows his "15-minute rule," waiting to respond until he has a chance to formulate an appropriate response.
"I want to be able to go in and defend the position of the Police Department. I take a lot of pride in the Lima Police Department, and so does everyone else in the Lima Police Department," Green said. "We believe it's a great organization, so it's a hard pill to swallow when people are saying things we just know are untrue."
That's the hardest part of monitoring an organization's social media presence. As the hall monitor for The Lima News' online presences, I often want to strike out at people criticizing the organization in ways that seem unfair to me. You want to defend it or try to explain it.
Green's 15-minute rule pays off, though. You find a nicer way of diffusing the person's comments.
Green said in those 15 minutes, other members of the social media community often step in to defend the police, Green said.
"'Keyboard bravery,' I'll call it," Green said. "They think just because they're behind the computer and not physically in front of a police officer, they can say whatever they want."
Green recently spent part of a weekend responding to someone planning to use Allentown Road as his personal drag strip. Green responded with humor, saying the police will be there to meet him. Generally the department won't let social media interactions drive enforcement plans, although it can be helpful. The department found out about an underage drinking party recently.
The department also uses its Facebook and Twitter accounts to update the public on accident scenes to avoid, share photos of officers doing good deeds and even spread the word on people with active warrants.
"It's been a great tool for us," Green said.

HOUSTON -- If you drink and drive and get caught drunk in Harris County, there's a new court-ordered program that might allow you to have your record wiped clean.
But since the county has the nation s worst record for drunk-driving deaths, you can imagine some people don't think that's a great idea.
The 11 News I-Team dug into this and found an evolving controversy that centers on what's being done---and not being done---in the courtroom of one Harris County Judge.
Every year in Harris County, some 6,000 people are stopped, arrested and charged with DWI for their first time. Faced with jail time, fines and a record that can make getting or keeping certain jobs a problem, first-time DWI offenders may wish they could just make it all go away. A new program called DIVERT might make that possible.
I was a criminal defense attorney for 22 years and to me, it's a gold mine. I think it's one of the greatest things I've ever seen, said Roger Bridgewater, an Assistant Harris County District Attorney.
The DA's office launched DIVERT a year ago. It s an attempt to stop a troubling rise in the number of DWI arrests (DIVERT stands for Direct Intervention using Voluntary Education Restitution and Treatment.)
What we've been doing hasn't worked and the numbers have only been going up, Bridgewater said.
The numbers Bridgewater is talking about are arrests of repeat DWI offenders: They've doubled in the past year.
One possible reason: First-time offenders aren't getting treatment. Since 2000, an increasing number of first-time offenders have been choosing jail time and fines instead of probation.
No probation means never having to undergo alcohol-treatment programs that might keep them from driving drunk in the future. So the DA had to come up with a way to entice them into treatment.
DIVERT means agreeing to up to two years of supervision, counseling and clean living. In return, if offenders keep out of trouble for two more years, the DWI can be wiped off their record, or expunged, almost like it never happened.
There's just one problem: A judge named Bill Harmon.
Nobody from Judge Harmon's court has been allowed to go into the DIVERT program, said Clyde Burleson, a Houston defense attorney.
DWI defendants are randomly assigned to one of 15 Harris County judges. All of them have now approved an average of 166 defendants each for DIVERT. All that is, except Judge Harmon, who has approved none.
Scott Ramsey is one of several defense attorneys who contend it's unfair to their clients to be denied what others can get just by the luck of the draw.
They should be allowed to participate in it, said Ramsey.
Another defense attorney with clients in Harmon s court, Clyde Burleson, said the first-time offenders he represents are just what the program is designed for -- people with no significant criminal histories who might deserve the benefit of the doubt.
They're unlikely to ever get in trouble again, said Burleson.
So why does Harmon oppose DIVERT?
It's illegal, said Harmon.
Harmon said the new program is nothing more than deferred adjudication. Deferred adjudication is a way a judge can delay or defer convicting someone to see if they can keep out of trouble. If they do, the judge then may dismiss the case.
So what's wrong with that?
Years ago, Texas lawmakers, trying to crack down on repeat drunk drivers, banned using deferred adjudication for DWIs.
And yet, Harmon appears to be alone in his total refusal to honor the new program.
All 14 of my colleagues are doing it. And certainly I could have gone along with this illegal program, and if I had, you wouldn't be sitting down here today, Harmon told 11 News as he sat in his courtroom.
The judge isn t alone in his opposition to DIVERT. Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) agreed with his actions.
That's fine with us, said Bill Lewis, the public policy liaison for MADD Texas.
The district attorney s office disagrees, contending DIVERT is not deferred adjudication, but would not comment on Harmon's maverick position.
I told you earlier, I'm not going to address the personalities of the judges, we've got great members of the judiciary here, said Bridgewater.
What's next? A higher court or even the Texas legislature may have to decide who's right: The judge or the DA.

The UGC has proposed to identify up to 25 universities from all over the country for financial support under its Centres with Potential for Excellence in Particular Areas (CPEPA) scheme.
The University Grants Commission (UGC) will soon come up with the list of universities being selected under its Centres with Potential for Excellence in Particular Areas (CPEPA) scheme.
July 30 is the last date for universities to apply for the scheme, which helps them receive financial support from the UGC for stepping up excellence and quality of higher education offered across the country.
The aim of the scheme is toenhance the academic and research capabilities of the selected universities in their chosen areas and/or disciplines at utmost speed.
While the earlier schemes generally aim at the development of academic/research infrastructure to improve the programmes and activities in a chosen discipline at the selected university, the CPEPA scheme focuses on supporting the development of inter-and/or multi-disciplinary areas and specific research projects in these areas.
The universities will be required to take up academic, research and other activities in one or more inter- and/or multi- disciplinary areas of contemporary significance in fields like, physical/ chemical/ biological/ social sciences and humanities. The UGC has proposed to identify up to 25 universities from all over the country for financial support under the scheme during the 11{+t}{+h} Five Year Plan Period, with each one to set up a "centre with potential for excellence in a particular area".
The main objectives of the scheme include encouraging and facilitating the chosen departments at the selected university to work together by associating their like minded faculty members. The scheme also tries to build up cooperation and collaboration in their programmes and activities on a regular basis, by cutting across departmental and/or discipline barriers.
While there will be no preference on the subject areas to be identified and/or taken up under the scheme, it is necessary that each one has to be of the inter- and/or multi-disciplinary type and be in the emerging, frontier or cutting edge subject areas of regional, national and/or international importance.
It is expected that two or more departments at the university will be able to jointly launch new and innovative academic, research and/or extension programmes / activities in inter- and/or multi-disciplinary areas; take up this endeavour, to initiate major programmes/ activities of regional/national/international interest and importance; and benefit from their combined academic performance, research capabilities and overall achievements;
The UGC wants these universities to reach a leadership position in their chosen fields/areas in a short time; and become highly successful in gaining the confidence, respect and admiration of the society at large.
The other objectives of the scheme include strengthening the academic and research facilities and infrastructure at the university for achieving excellence in the chosen areas besides enhancing the quality and standard of UG/PG teaching-learning-evaluation processes, research work and extension activities in the chosen areas.
The scheme also aims at promoting excellence in academic programmes relevant to the social, economic and other needs of the nation in general and the region in particular.
Universities will be asked to take up networking and collaboration with other institution of higher education/ national/ laboratories/ centres, as part of the scheme.
The financial assistance to a university will be limited to a maximum of Rs.7 crore for science/technology areas and Rs.5crore for social science/humanities areas.
The tenure of the university under the scheme will be for five years initially. Universities need to submit a detailed project report to receive the assistance.

The National Labor Relations Board recently accused an employer of engaging in unfair labor practices when it fired an employee who complained about her supervisor on her personal Facebook page. Although this complaint has received extensive coverage already, Dickinson attorney Megan Erickson joins the discussion with a post on Erickson's Social Networking Law Blog that makes it clear this NLRB complaint does not sound the death knell on employer social media policies or internet policies.

Mats Moller Daehli has departed Manchester United to join Norwegian club Molde.
The highly-rated 18-year old midfielder has linked up with former Red Devils star Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Molde on a two-year deal, believed to be worth around £1.5million.
Reports suggest that United have added a buy-back clause in Daehli's Molde contract following the Jimmy Murphy youth academy award he won in 2012.
"We talked two-and-a-half years ago when he had to make a choice to stay or go. I recommended him to sign with United," Solskjaer said.
"However, I told him he could always come back to Norway and come to Molde. He's had two great seasons and learned plenty at United.
"He's here to develop. There's no pressure on him to come in here and turn our season around. We'll take this step by step."

Colombo, July 25: At the end of the second day, South Africa trail Sri Lanka by 324 runs with 7 wickets remaining in the first inning of the second Test at the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground in Colombo.
The hosts put up a good target of 421 runs for the loss of all wickets while facing the South African bowlers after choosing to bat first on winning the toss on the first day of the second Test.
South Africa went in to bat today after dismissing Sri Lanka's batting lineup and lost their first wicket in the second over.
Sri Lanka's slow arm orthodox bowler Rangana Herath bowled and caught the visitors' batsman Alviro Petersen for his individual score of two. Petersen's wicket was followed by the loss of two more wickets for the visitors' side while face the Sri Lankan balling attack.
Sri Lanka's Kaushal Silva caught Dean Elgar on medium-fast bowler Thisara Perera's delivery. Elgar was out for his individual score of one.
Elgar's dismissal was followed by the loss of another wicket for South Africa, as Niroshan Dickwella caught Faf du Plessis on Suranga Lakmal's delivery for his individual score of 36 runs.
Currently skipper Hashim Amla and A B de Villiers are batting for South Africa on their individual scores of 46 and 11. The visitors have amassed 98 runs so far while batting in their first innings.
South Africa will open play on the third day of the third day of the second Test with Amla and De Villiers facing the Sri Lankan bowling attack. (ANI)

The note in my job list for the Geneva show reads 'Koreans. (The)'. Dismissing such a powerful car-building nation as this with such flippery isn't wise, though. The Koreans are a force to be reckoned with, targeting the established Japanese brands in the same kind of way Samsung is going after Sony: aggressively, in other words, with high-quality, desirable products at fairly reasonable prices.
Hyundai's iFlow concept (pictured) gives you an idea of how the next Sonata, called i40, will look. It was designed at the company's styling HQ in Germany and is one of the most impressive-looking four-doors at the show.
Also on the Hyundai stand are a bunch of 'blue' eco versions of its i10, i20, i30 and ix35 cars. The usual rules apply, with lower rolling resistance tyres and aero mods. Emissions will drop to below 100g/km for the smaller cars.
Kia previews the new Sportage at Geneva. Again, it's a neat-looking machine inside and out and the interior seems to have made a step forward in quality. Two-wheel-drive models get stop-start and the new model is both lighter (by 91kg) and more aerodynamic (.37CD - which is low for a car in this class) than the previous model. It'll sell like - like hot cakes. Cheap high-quality hot cakes from The Koreans.

You clean the outside of your body every day (well, you should) - but what about the inside? Colon cleansing is a process intended to clear out the contents of the colon. As part of a healthy living routine, colon cleansing is typically done through the use of enemas, laxatives, herbal teas and supplements.
Colon cleansing supplements are typically made from a combination of herbs, probiotics and other nutrients that gently stimulate bowel function while helping to soothe the mucous membrane lining of the digestive tract.
The idea behind colon cleansing is to support digestive health and promote regular bowel movements to keep waste moving through the body. Just like a shower can help remove the buildup of dirt on your skin, colon cleansing can help flush away debris, toxins and waste that accumulate in your colon.

As long as you don't claim the work as your own… I don't think too many authors would be against you taking screenshots…Thanks.. but I need a 100% answer. is it 100% ok or not? Is there 1% chance I might get in trouble for copyright infringement ?
My original post was directed towards the OP…To answer yours… no, if your linking back to Themeforest you don't need to purchase a license to display them on your site… 100%... other wise the API would be useless…
OK! Guys sorry to renege on what I've previously said, however, we've had a rethink on this internally and we feel that it should be a bit easier for our affiliates and you guys to help promote items!
If your powers are being used for good, there shouldn't really be an issue. So no license purchase required unless the author specifically requests you buy one. Contact Support and ref this thread if you already bought some licenses and want a refund.
Thanks! Jordan
Technically speaking Envato have no right to say you can do what you want with screen shots as they do not own the work and is not their copyright (if they disagree then their "get out clause" of our work being illegally distributed can't stand) – so my advise is to contact the author who created and owns the file – ask them for permission – unless the author doesn't want promotion, I foresee zero issues for you.
Honestly, if it means another sale for them, they have no reason to decline.

Ernie Banks was one of the greatest shortstops of all time and he never made it to the World Series, because his Chicago Cubs could never get past the "Billy Goat" curse. Don Mattingly never made it to the World Series either as his New York Yankee teams were littered with free agent busts (Ed Whitson, anyone?) and poor pitching, his bad back forced him to retire in 1995, one year before the Yankees ended their 18 year championship drought. Timing is everything in life, but so is being part of a good team. As a retirement plan financial advisor, you need to be a part of a good team of retirement plan providers because the quality of your team may determine your position as the specific plan's financial advisor and/or making your job easier or more difficult. So this article is going to try to explain why you should care about the selection of your client's third party administrator (TPA) and how the TPA can determine your experience working on your shared client's retirement plan.

Philip the Bold
A Magnificent Duke of Burgundy.
Philip, known as the Bold, was the son of King Jean II of France and Bonne of Luxembourg. He was born 17 January 1342 at Pointoise. After his capture at the Battle of Poitiers (1356), he was made duke of Burgundy by his father in 1363. He married Marguerite of Flanders, an heiress of great landed wealth, in 1369. Eventually, through his dynastic power, Philip formed a Burgundian state that controlled not only what is now eastern France, but much of the Netherlands and what is now Belgium. In some ways he became the second most important person in France, after the monarch Charles V. His reign of some twenty years was known for its patronage of the arts, and especially for the lavish use of highly ornamented fabrics such as silks, velvets, and cloth with gold and silver wire embroidery...

Our latest project comes from Chris Treborn of AnchorMEN
2099 versus TRRTS (Extended Album featuring both projects)
Time Capsule 2099 (Official Site | Album + Instrumentals)
The Romans Road To Salvation (Official Site | Album + Instrumentals)
Chris Treborn – Sharper Image
eCsiLe – Painful Inhabitance
TwenTy Peace
Formally known as G-Rated Entertainment, Chris Treborn created his own label on August 7th, 2001 before releasing his first demo entitled "T.E.A.R.Z."
After striking a recording contract with Sphire Productions, the first studio album recorded was "Landscape of time" which was released on September 14th, 2004. Soon after there was a tour and unity between other local artists throughout the Central Valley of California. After rededicating his life to Jesus, Chris Treborn moved to Salem, Oregon and quickly dove into the local Hip-Hop scene. The locals began to compare him to Braille of Lightheaded, and Treborn began to understand more about the CHH scene beyond just local artists.
Chris Treborn found himself in a depression even though there was much success with his release of "OPEN HEART SURGERY". In 2009, Chris Treborn took a theology class and got reconnected with his Lord and Savior. On September 9th, 2009, he released a greatest hits remix project called "Christian's [Memory Box]" and then retired the name of G-Rated ENT.
Looking to relaunch his music, he went with a name of a song from "Landscape of time" called Soul Anchor. That was when he created Soul Anchor Music & became intrigued with a book called Anchor Man in early 2010. That was also the year he reunited with his touring mate eCsiLe and together they formed AnchorMEN a group of local hip-hoppers who were also Family men. Soon after they were reunited with Twenty Peace as well and the group grew missionary.
After Chris Treborn got married and had children he began recording and releasing music each year. You can find his releases under the Music Projects page or on his page.
As life continues on, Soul Anchor Music plans to bring more music, more devotional material, & more family friendly events.

by Hanson, Victor Davis
Publisher:Free Press
On first glance, The Soul of Battle appears to be three different books: biographies of two well-known generals--Sherman and Patton--and one who is virtually unknown today, the ancient Greek leader Epaminondas. Yet Victor Davis Hanson, a classics professor and author of The Western Way of War, makes a compelling connection between these three men. They were "eccentrics, considered unbalanced or worse by their own superiors" who led democratic armies on missions of freedom. Epaminondas crushed Sparta's military dominance of Greece in a single winter, Sherman delivered a deathblow to the slaveholding South in the U.S. Civil War, and Patton was the general most feared by his Nazi enemies in the Second World War. Hanson disputes the conventional notion that soldiers fight only for their buddies, rather than abstract ideals. He writes: "Theban hoplites, Union troops, and American GIs were ideological armies foremost, composed of citizen-soldiers who burst into their enemies' heartland because they believed it was a just and very necessary thing to do. The commanders who led them encouraged that ethical zeal, made them believe there was a real moral difference" between what they and their opponents stood for. Epaminondas, Sherman, and Patton each became extremely controversial for his success, but Hanson argues persuasively that their efforts demonstrate "that on rare occasions throughout the ages there can be a soul, not merely a spirit, in the way men battle." With this idiosyncratic approach, Hanson makes a unique contribution to our understanding of not only these three men and their troops, but also the role of the military in a democratic society. --John J. Miller

Ah, Spring is in the air. Flowers are blooming, rabbits are doing what they do, and the Egotastic! community is shaking off it's Winter solstice blues and gathering around the first planting of celebrity skintastic.

About a year ago I discovered John Pizzarelli and I LOVE HIM...I don't know where I have been all my life....I am almost 88 and just found this gift a year ago?
Now I listen to him on my computer...love Jessica too....and when he is in NJ I try to get to see him. Saw him first at Ramapo College, then NJPac (when he was supposed to be with Barbara Cook (and then I found out about Jessica), and the last time I saw him at Wm. Paterson U.
Can you tell me when he is on WNYC? It seems like his program is flexible.
Thank you and please thank John and Jessica for entertaining an old lady so well. Eileen Wimberger

RUSSELL, Ky. - More than 100 volunteers contributed their time and service to the building of 21 pre-fabricated sheds for families devastated by natural disasters. The project was a collaborative effort between Bridges Christian Church and Cross Roads Missions.
Mark McKinney, an associate minister at Bridges Christian Church (BCC), and church leader of the shed project, said the church parking lot was fully loaded July 11 and 12 with an abundance of lumber.
"Crossroads has come up with a plan to build 21 sheds in one day. What we do is, with these sheds we build the walls that are put together, assembled where they are needed. So we build the walls, the floors, and put siding on them. I think it takes about five sections to make a shed, so when we are done those are loaded into a semi truck at the end of the day, and they are shipped to places where people have lost their homes," McKinney said.
According to McKinney, BCC has partnered with Crossroads in the building of the sheds for two years, and it is a two day process.
"On Friday at five o'clock we have what's called a pre-cut. They set up four saws and tell us what length to cut them, label them and stack them in piles. After the pre-cut is completed, there is a training session takes place, and they tell you how to put the things together," he said.
Saturday consists of the implementation of skills learned in the training.
On Saturday you get a sheet of paper which tells you what to go get from the pile, and then go and get those materials and bring them over to where you're working. There's about four to five people working in each work section.
"Two years ago they went to Oklahoma, an area where a lot of homes were destroyed. The people's homes are destroyed and they have things they can salvage but they have no place to put them because their homes are gone, and so they donate these sheds to them.
He said the sheds are assembled on the site of the victims property.
"After the sheds are assembled, then the people have a place to store their belongings that they are able to salvage.According to McKinney, it is the second time that the church has been involved with the shed-building," he said.
"Cross roads sends two people here on site, and they bring in all of the tools, our volunteers just show up. They have enough hammers, all of the saws and everything to do the work. They bring a trailer that has all of the equipment in it," he said.
He said Bridges Christian Church purchases the lumber to construct the sheds.
"What they do is ship us a material supply list of lumber that we need to buy for this project, which takes about 770 or so two by fours at a certain length, 200 or so at another length and so forth. Here at Bridges Christian Church, we purchase all of that lumber, which totals about $12,000. Then, we pay for the semi truck to ship it, so it comes to $15,000 that our church contributes," he said.
He said the congregation of BCC enjoys helping out with the shed building projects for the cause of Christ.
"It gives us an opportunity to help hurting people in the name of Christ. I have never been on the other end when the people deliver the sheds, but they make sure that people know that this has been delivered in the name of Christ," he said. "Because of God's love, we want to reach out and help them."
