Australia: Wages will inevitably fall in rich nations like Australia,
Wages will inevitably fall in rich nations like Australia, the United States and United Kingdom as the world moves toward economic equilibrium, according to Nobel laureate, Professor James Mirrlees.
In a speech in Sydney on Thursday night, Professor Mirrlees said the flow of capital from rich nations to poorer nations could turn into a "flood" as capital sought out the lowest wages.
"Capital can increasingly leave the rich nations and so long as wages are higher there than in the poorer nations that seems the way it should go," he said.
He said that the shift to lower wages in developed nations would not distinguish between occupations.
"I should just emphasise that this theory says all wages will fall at any particular skill level – unskilled, skilled, professionals and chief executives."
In a speech to alumni from the Macquarie Graduate School of Management, Professor Mirrlees said that if wages did not fall in rich nations again unemployment would have to rise.
"The highest rates of return on capital are nowadays in low wage nations," he said
"People have described the movement of capital in the last few years to the to developing nations as some kind of strange speculative flow that is an offset to the financial crisis in the West.
"It seems to me additional reasonable to think that this is the beginnings of what could be a flood.
"Economic equilibrium is at the same time as everybody is content with how things are going, there is nobody out there trying to supply labor and not able to get a job.
"In the very large categories of labour and capital there is only going to be long-term economic equilibrium at the same time as the rates of return for capital investment are the same in all nations.
"It's not going to be authentic that each country has the same technological possibilities but there is no reason why it may not be additional or less authentic.
"Broadly, that the idea that the same technologies should be available everywhere seems to me very plausible."
Professor Mirrlees, who is emeritus professor of political economy at the University of Cambridge, said that economic equilibrium implied that "one of the majority basic propositions of economic theory" would prevail and that is that wage rates would be the same.
"If the wage rates can't be the same you can't have equilibrium.
"You may think this is absurd but it maximises national gain in each country.
"If you think that is ridiculous that you could maximise gain in each country while some have relatively low wage rates to what we are used to presently, you have to reflect that it is the capitalists, the people who own the capital, who are getting the gain.
"It's their capital that is being used in the majority fruitful way."
Professor Mirrless said that one of the implications of the move to economic equilibrium is that owners of capital will get additional and workers will get less.
"Certainly, if you are looking at this from the point of view of nations like Australia, USA, Hong Kong and Britain again that seems to be the way of it," he said.
"Of course, if it is right that wages will get equalised that would mean that wages in China and India will be higher.
"But it looks to me that they would be much lower in Australia, Britain and US than people are hoping."
He said there would be consequences if nations tried to resist the forces of world capital flows and economic equilibrium.
"If you try to hold it back, if you try to keep the wages high again that is going to be mean growing unemployment," he said."
Professor Mirrless said this would lead to structural unemployment and "we better get ready for it".
"Each economic problem has an answer and the possible solution here, it may be just a partial one, but could be completely an effective one, is the subsidy of low wage labour paid for by taxes on high wages and capital incomes."
Professor Mirrlees won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics in 1996. He is best known for his work on tax policy, the economics of uncertainty and development economics.

Great and Easy
My bed came two days ago and I couldn't wait to get it out the box. I am not the most handy woman in the world, but I was able to put this bed together myself in about 30 minutes. The instructions were easy to follow. The bed looks exactly like the picture and the color goes well with my room. It is sturdy and a great deal for the price. I love it!!! I'd definitely recommend it to a friend. Im very satisfied :-)

To make the top:
Measure approx 2cm in from each edge of the paint chip card and score fold lines.
Cut ends to create tabs, and fold all lines.
Use glue or double-sided tape to secure the end tabs.
To make the base:
Measure approx 2.2cm in from each edge, and score fold lines. (This makes the base fit inside the lid once assembled).
Complete the base the same as the lid.
Your cute little gift box is ready to fill and give to someone special!
If you have paper punches, cut some matching shapes from another paint chip card and attach with glue. Or use ribbons or twine to hold the box together.
Other easy paint chip craft ideas:
Make gift tags - cut a simple gift-tag shape (draw it on the back and use sharp scissors to cut around) and punch a hole. Thread with ribbon or twine.
Make book marks - these can be simple or more elaborate! Cut a narrow strip from the paint chip cards, punch a hole at the top and loop through a piece of cord. Punch paper shapes or use decorative scissors to add extra embellishment.

Gift cards are huge. Walk into any major retail store in any country where the organized retail sector is advanced, and you will find a very prominent gift card stand staring alluringly at you from the most premium store space. The reason for that is simple: They account for up to 5% of total sales for some brands, and in the United States alone, consumers will buy about $130bn worth of gift cards this year. That is about 3% of the entire retail market in the US, and that is a significant chunk.
There's a gift card for everything. You can find Wallmart Gift cards for groceries, Uber gift cards for rides, iTunes gift cards for music, Amazon gift cards for online shopping, etc. Anything. If people buy a product or service for themselves, it means that they sometimes need to buy it for others, either as a gift from an individual to another, or as a reward from a business to one or many individuals. It makes sense. You can't possibly know the ideal gift to get an expecting mother better than the mother herself, so the best gift to share with her is a gift card that she can use to shop at her favorite baby store. That is why gift cards have consistently been the most requested/desired gift in the US and many other markets (it's not a cultural thing), and people buy more and more every year.
The demand for gift cards is so high that they've now gone digital. Senders can now send electronic versions to others when they are not able to present it to them physically because of distance or other reasons. Businesses that need to reward thousands of customers, employees or partners especially value this because they don't incur costs and time to purchase, store and deliver rewards. For the foreseeable future, gift cards will remain a dominant enabler of sales for several brands, and a life-saver for gift-givers.
Africa has over a billion people, and they are projected to consume $1 trillion in value by 2020. That's a lot of spending, and that's why shopping malls are finally springing up across major cities on the continent. The middle class is expanding with significant purchasing power, and they demand comfortable and sophisticated shopping experiences, just like the rest of the world. In Nigeria, major international brands like Game, Shoprite and Spar are taking advantage of this growth and establishing their brands all over the country. One feature is conspicuously missing on a large scale, however: Gift Cards.
Gift cards have the potential to be even more valuable in Africa than anywhere else. In the US and Europe, the alternative to gift cards will be to purchase a physical gift and find a way to transport the gift to your recipient, either personally or through a logistics provider. In Nigeria and many major markets in Africa, the problem of logistics is a major one. This makes gift cards, especially the digital versions, very valuable to individual and corporate gift-givers.
Gift card management is heavily technology-enabled, and it is most times outside of the core capabilities of retailers. That's where we come in at SureBids. We are enabling merchants in Africa to retail their own gift cards in-store for the first time, and we also sell gift cards on their behalf via several channels to individuals and businesses that are eager to access them. We have spent the past two years developing a system that is hyper-customized to the African retail merchant and processes, and soon, Africans will also be able to pick up a wide assortment of gift cards for their loved ones at a store counter or from a gift card mall, or send a digital version from our websites like www.suregifts.com.ng.
We're excited about the potential for this product in Africa, and if the incredible popularity virtually everywhere else in the world is any signal of its utility and value, it will be incredibly popular in Africa too. If you'll like to join us in some way to enable African retail without establishing buildings and inventory, get in touch with me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Few bands today embody the pure rock 'n' roll spirit as fully as Airbourne. As drummer Ryan O'Keeffe told us, there was no alternative career path, no plan B. In late September, frontman Joel O'Keeffe injured his ankle in a fall from the stage, but there was no quitting. He finished the song, the show and the tour. Rock 'n' roll is in these Australians' blood, and there's no turning back for them. The band's fourth album, Breakin' Outta Hell, released Sept. 23, is filled with the same kind of loud, brazen, bluesy party anthems found on its first three efforts. Some things are better left unchanged. Airbourne wrapped up its U.S. headlining tour in October in Baltimore, and Live Metal's Greg Maki sat down on the band's bus with Ryan O'Keeffe to discuss the new record and more. (more…)

11:45 a.m., Jagermeister Stage — SANTA CRUZ
The final day of a festival is always slow and sluggish, usually until late afternoon or so, but Santa Cruz, a Finnish band that mixes '80s glam metal sensibilities with a more modern attitude, does its best to wake up the early-arrivers. They have my attention, becoming my first "find" of the weekend. (more…)

About a month ago, Volbeat lead guitarist Rob Caggiano told us, "Next year is gonna be very light, I think, for Volbeat, as far as touring. There's gonna be some stuff here and there, but overall, it's gonna be kind of some chill time, creative time." (Read the interview here.) Apparently, "very light" includes more than a month of tour dates in the United States and Canada with Caggiano's former band, Anthrax, in support, along with openers Crobot. There never appeared to be any bad blood between Caggiano and Anthrax, and if Anthrax members Scott Ian, Charlie Benante and Frank Bello joining Volbeat onstage earlier this year at Carolina Rebellion didn't confirm that, this tour announcement certainly does. The full press release and the initial tour dates are below. (more…)

TaskRabbit, for those who are unaware offers the option to buy "ch(b)oring" services to people who have the app. TaskRabbit is now debuting new client-side mobile apps for iOS and Android, as well as a new website.
The company blog says "iPhone users – update your TaskRabbit app (or download it) to see the new experience, and Android users – download our brand new app from the Play Store!"
The new version of TaskRabbit has been revamped and designed especially for clients, enabling them to find, hire and chat with "Taskers" quickly and easily. The service announced news of the change last month to ease the transition among the service's users and providers.
Key Highlights:
- Matching algorithm
- One-Click Hiring
- Task insurance for Clients
- Hourly pricing
A company spokesperson told that the new "product is based on a couple of things: user feedback, and our marketplace and data science team diving into what was causing friction on our platform." The service was tested in London for months prior to today's service-wide relaunch.
With this announcement TaskRabbit's old auction-house model will be substituted facilitating a traditional matching algorithm that pairs Clients and Taskers by site behavior, skill and task preferences, and availability. Clients are then given a stable of "suitable" Taskers, of whom they can choose based on experience, rating, or price.
It was founded in 2008 by Leah Busque. TaskRabbit is a website and mobile app that allows users to outsource small jobs and tasks to people in their neighborhood. Since June 17 when the new direction was announced, Brackett says, TaskRabbit has received 16,000 applications from new prospective Taskers there are at present 25,000 Taskers registered on the platform.
"Our aim is to provide a mobile experience that delivers the same quality as TaskRabbit.co.uk, coupled with the simplicity and flexibility that an app offers," said our Founder and CEO, Leah Busque. "It's perfect for busy parents and professionals who need valuable minutes back in their day. Wherever you are, a task can be set up within moments, meaning one less chore on your to-do list," she said.

It's Official - I'm a College Student Again
I often tell people that I'm on a 25 year plan - that is, if I work really hard and focus all of my attention, I can cram all four years of college into 25. I think I can do it. It will take some blood, and sweat, and tears, but I think I can, just maybe, do it.
All I need to finish out my bachelors degree is a few (7) general ed type classes - some English Comp., Literature, Art Appreciation, Science and Math. And of those, only the Math requirement has me sweating. I like math, I just am not very good at getting the numbers to line up properly.)
I'm now enrolled at the local community college - Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) at the Newton, Iowa campus. I've purchased my books and everything. Whoo hoo!
I have two classes this semester - English Comp. I and an online Literature Class focusing on Science Fiction. (How cool is that?!)

AbstractDynamic Scene Analysis - a real time image registration, moving target detection, tracking, and geo-location software product. Registration is based upon Mutual Information, a more efficient and robust technique than traditional feature-based methods. Reference imagery and live imagery are utilized as needed to refine the estimate of the sensor position and attitude in the geo-registration solution. The algorithm automatically and adaptively performs the required computations to maintain the desired level of accuracy. Moving ground targets are automatically detected using an algorithm based on Optical Flow; it is ideally suited to separate object motion from perspective-generated scene motion, greatly reducing false alarms. Tracks are formed in geo-registered coordinates using an Associative Tracker, enabling tracking of irregularly moving or intermittently visible targets and fusion of target information from multiple sources. A process manager schedules images for processing based on the ancillary information taken along with the imagery and the processing resources available - thus, effective performance of the software is maintained even when processing power is reduced. The efficiency, flexibility, and adaptability of our processing stream lends well to implementation in a variety of computing environments. BENEFIT: This research will create a system that automatically detects, tracks, and geo-locates ground targets from airborne imagery for a wide variety of frame rates and image sizes. The processing is efficient and intended to be run on board the aircraft.

Earl James Atkisson (August 12, 1886 – September 18, 1941) was Colonel of the United States Army's 1st Gas Regiment in World War I.
Early career[edit]
Earl James Atkisson was born in Broken Bow, Nebraska, but his family moved to Fresno County, California and he graduated from high school in Fowler.[1] He was appointed to the United States Military Academy in 1904. He graduated seventh in his class in 1908, and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Corps of Engineers.[2]
Atkisson served two years at Fort Leavenworth, followed by six at the Army's Engineering school at Washington Barracks, less one year he spent earning his M.E. degree at Cornell University, which he received in 1911. While there, he was promoted to first lieutenant. He was next assigned as a captain to be superintendent of the Gatun Locks of the Panama Canal, where he was serving when World War I broke out.[2]
World War I[edit]
In July 1917, Atkisson was made a major in the National Army, and placed in command of the 30th Engineers, which became the 1st Gas Regiment. This regiment arrived in France on March 10, 1918 and eventually participated in the Aisne-Marne, St. Mihel, and Meuse-Argonne operations. In May 1918 he was made commandant of the Gas Service Experimental Field and Gas Defense School at Hanlon Field near Chaumont, France. Beginning in January 1919, having risen to the rank of colonel, he served in various capacities with the Army of Occupation. For his service in the war, Atkisson was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal, the Purple Heart, and the Distinguished Service Order of Great Britain.[1][2][3]
Later career[edit]
Returning to the United States in September 1919,[2] Atkisson returned to his Regular Army rank of major, and transferred to the fledgling Chemical Warfare Service. In 1920, he became commander of Edgewood Arsenal, the Chemical Warfare Service's large manufacturing establishment near Baltimore, Maryland, for three years.[4] While there, he assisted in rescuing two officers from drowning, for which he was awarded the Lifesaving Medal. He then served as Assistant Military Attaché at the American embassy in London from 1923 to 1925. He then served as the Chemical Officer for the Ninth Corps Area at the Presidio of San Francisco, until his retirement for disability in March 1926. He was given his World War I rank of colonel by Act of Congress in June 1930.[3][5]
Upon retirement, Atkisson returned to Sanger, where he managed his father's department store company until his death in September 1941. He is buried in the Sanger Cemetery.[1][6]
Christopher Alexander McCowan who lives in Fowler, Ca played Earl J. Atkisson in "A Man Comes To Fowler" by the Cornerstone Theater Company which is based in Los Angeles. The play took place in Fowler, California from August 11–13, 2011

Dear Pensacola,
My nerves are about to drive me crazy as I prepare to meet you for the first time. I hope you are just as excited as I am! These feelings, those that promises of sun & sand stir up, are something I haven't experienced for a long time but… you have changed that. You've changed me.
It is my hope that you don't mistake this overflow of excitement for vocalized, unrealistic expectations. As wonderful as a perfect and picturesque weekend would be… our brief time together means more to me than you could ever imagine and more than overcast skies and rain could ever stifle.
So, please, don't feel the need to impress me. You already have. You are what I need right now. Without the sun, the sand will mean just as much.
"What is it that I am anticipating then?", I'm sure you're wondering. But I assure you there is no timeline or schedule that needs to be planned and strung along during our special time together. With you I feel there will be no boredom, no voids or slots to be filled… I'm sure you think I'm just putting you up on a pedastol but… this is just the truth.
All the little things. That's what I yearn for. They are what I need.
I need sunsets with you and even more importantly I need sunrises with you. I need to wage a war with this thing they call sleep deprivation and prove that you, my Helen of Troy, are worth every yawn and dark circle that force themselves upon my face. I need to permanently imprint the tastes of you upon my mind so I will always have our time to revisit. I need to forget this simple world that I'm leaving behind and just let time stand still while I embrace everything that you are.
While it seems somewhat impossible that you would feel even remotely as deeply about me as I do for you… I hope that you will wait for me patiently and at least allow a small smirk from your lips when you think of me.
Soon, my love, we will have each other.

The Classic Tales of Brer Rabbit
Illustrated by Don Daily
I've been asked many times about a good Uncle Remus book for children. The Disney books have been long out of print and are difficult to find. The original Uncle Remus tales are pretty difficult for children, (and adults), because of the dialects.
Where this book does not use Disney's characters, it is a very good and colorfully illustrated book that tell some of the Joel Chandler Brer Rabbit stories in an easy to understand language. The stories include:
- The Peanut Patch
- Brer Rabbit Goes Fishing For Suckers
- Dead Foxes Tell No Tales
- The Great Race
- Why Mr. Possum Loves Peace
- Brer Fox Goes Hunting
- Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby
The dimensions of the book is 8 1/4 x 11 inches. 56 pages.
I am no longer offering this book, but you can purchase it from Amazon by clicking here.
I will be offering other Uncle Remus/Brer Rabbit books in the future.
Thank you.

Mrs Fytton's Country Life
Mavis Cheek
Faber £9.99, pp331
Why Mavis Cheek is not as celebrated as Joanna Trollope or Mary Wesley is a mystery. She's got everything they have, in spades. If anything, she's an improvement on them, in that her sense of humour is wickeder and her literary allusions wider, as though Fay Weldon were the fairy at the top of her Christmas tree.
All Cheek fans (and there are many) have their own view as to why she has not made the top of the bestseller lists. My own theory is that the otherwise noble offices of Faber & Faber represent a sort of white man's grave for women writers. Proof? Exhibit A: Nicola Barker, recent winner of the £75,000 International Impac Dublin Award, is another member of the Faber stable only lately, after 10 years' highly original work, reaching a wider readership. Exhibit B: almost nobody has heard of Rachel Ingalls, whose earlier stories in particular rank among the strangest and most compelling I know.
Be that as it may, this book - her ninth - ought to be the one which gains greater attention for Mavis Cheek. Mrs Fytton has all the requisites to make it this summer's thinking-woman's beach wallpaper: jokes, revenge, an errant husband coming back to roost and a smattering of literary and historical references to make the reader feel less guilty for reading something so enjoyable.
The lot of the young, middle-aged, single (often reluctantly single) woman has long been under Cheek's microscope; no one knows the terrain better, nor examines it with more humour and brio. Mrs Fytton is a typical Cheek heroine, plucky and stubborn and sexy and nearly nice. Or, this being fiction wherein people change with an alacrity seldom found in real life, nice then not so nice, then nice again.
Society tends to turn its back on single ladies of a certain age, particularly when their lone status derives from having been dumped wives, as if one man's change of heart should be universally accepted as denoting that his former wife is fit only for her own company. Cheek has made the study of such women the central theme of her fiction and a continuing source of bitter-sweet humour.
Readers of earlier works will find themselves on familiar ground with Mrs Fytton. There is nothing pathetic about these women, none of the self-consciousness or self-pity of a Jean Rhys heroine. These are a grittier breed altogether, although Cheek tends to succumb to the forces of her chosen genre by instating (or, often, reinstating) a devoted and suitably penitent man towards the end of each book.
In the case of Three Men on a Plane, a triumvirate of suitors reappears in Pamela Pryor's life; in Pause Between the Acts, there are two (admittedly gay) men in the offing. Getting Back Brahms, thought by many to be Cheek's finest novel to date, begins with a jilted heroine and ends with (the capitals are Cheek's own) 'Excitement at the Scent of Victory'.
Mrs Fytton, who is generally referred to thus, in a tongue-in-Cheek homage to the Mrs Gaskell or Jane Austen-ish timbre of the story, has been a perfect wife ever since marrying her university sweetheart. She has helped Mr Fytton to build a flourishing business while producing two children and bringing them up in the old-fashioned way, by hiring au pairs and never asking him to change a nappy.
She has been the kind of wife who brings her husband a gin and tonic when he gets in from the office, asks about his day with genuine interest and never, ever refuses sex. She's the kind of wife every man wishes he had, until a petite blonde called Belinda falls at his feet. So it is that, at 40, she finds herself abandoned in Chiswick with two teenage children and a broken heart. A series of unsatisfactory liaisons ensue, culminating in a brief affair with an alcoholic German called Otto.
After Otto, Mrs Fytton, by now relegated to being the first Mrs Fytton, the blonde Belinda having been promoted to the Premiership of current wifedom, decides to move to the country. Once she is removed from London, the real comedy begins. Entirely according to Mrs Fytton's dastardly plan, the teenagers have a fit at the idea of living with her outside the city, moving instead into their father's newly decorated marital home in Wimbledon.
Once installed among the pale, brand-new soft furnishings, they behave as teenagers will: throwing parties, grinding pizza into the sofa covers, dispatching the fundamentalist Christian cleaning lady by showing her pornographic videos and emptying their stepmother's en-suite bathroom of its every unguent. Before long, Belinda can't bear it. Her soft, helpless fluffiness gives way to shrill recrimination; she refuses to have sex with her husband. All of which makes Mr Fytton feel more than nostalgic about his former wife.
Mrs Fytton, meanwhile, is doing what every woman who has ever moved away from London has to do: pickling, preserving and brewing. When she's not pouring vinegar through muslin or steeping wild hops in sugar, she gets to to know the locals, a brilliantly drawn collection of the lustful and the fraudulent.
If the major plot-twists of the story sometimes strain at the leash of the believable - character transformations and total reversals of intention were never so glibly arrived at - the supporting cast more than make amends. Mavis Cheek's fiction is entirely amiable; witty, sharp and vivacious.
Amy Jenkins, eat your heart out. This is how light romantic fiction is done.

Todd Bentley (born 10 January 1976[not verified in body]) is a Canadian Christian evangelist. He was a key figure of the Lakeland Revival[2] and was in leadership of Fresh Fire Ministries until stepping down in August 2008 after years of unresolved conflicts.[3][4][5]

|Shonnah Bentley
(? – 2009)[1]
Early lifeEdit
Todd Bentley was born on January 10, 1976 in Sechelt, British Columbia, Canada.[citation needed] He grew up in Gibsons, British Columbia, a small community on the western coast of Canada.[citation needed] As told in his autobiography, his parents divorced while he was a child, and he struggled with drug and alcohol addiction.[6][page needed]
Although the criminal records of juvenile offenders in Canada are normally protected from public disclosure,[citation needed] multiple media outlets have reported on Bentley's conviction, at age 15, of sexually assaulting a much-younger boy when Bentley was 13 years old.[7][8] Bentley later said the original article, which appeared in The Report Newsmagazine, was, in substance, true: "'They were sexual crimes,' Bentley admits. 'I was involved in a sexual assault ring. I turned around and did what happened to me. I was assaulted too.'"[8] At 17, Bentley was hospitalized after an overdose of amphetamines and hallucinogenic pills.[9] At 18, he changed his lifestyle completely, due to his conversion to Christianity. Soon after this, he began his Christian ministry.[10][11]
Fresh Fire MinistriesEdit
In 1998, the Fresh Fire Ministry group asked Bentley to give his testimony at one of their weekly meetings. Soon after, Bentley took over leadership of the group, and it became more of a revival movement. He traveled to India, Africa, and South America taking part in crusades and revivals.[12]
Leadership of Lakeland RevivalEdit
Beginning on April 2, 2008, Bentley was invited by Stephen Strader, pastor of Ignited Church, Lakeland, Florida, to lead a one-week revival.[12] The revival quickly attracted up to 10,000 attendees nightly with Bentley as the primary preacher.[11] In addition to showcasing Bentley's evangelism, the revival featured colorful light shows and power-chord Christian rock music.[13][14] The Ignited Church also took a multimedia approach to publicizing the event, posting webcasts online.[citation needed] The revival streamed live via Ustream and received over 1 million hits in the first five weeks of transmissions.[citation needed] After the initial weeks, GOD TV, a Christian satellite channel, pre-empted its primetime programming and broadcast the Lakeland meetings nightly.[12]
The revival brought in thousands and with that many other revivalists. At one point, Bentley began to pray for and commission many of them to duplicate his model for modern-day revival. Ryan Wyatt[15] was one. Another was Evangelist Hamilton Filmalter,[16] who was commissioned by Bentley to begin the Portland Outpouring.
Faith healing was a major focus of the revivals. Inspired by Biblical New Testament accounts of Jesus healing the sick, the contemporary practice of faith healing is important for Pentecostal and charismatic Christians.[citation needed] Healing testimonies were common at the Lakeland meetings.[14][17] The hope of supernatural healing explains some of the Lakeland revivals' popularity, as there were many first-person accounts of miracles.[17][18]
Bentley claimed to not only heal the sick—including through so-called "mass healings"—but also to raise the dead. He has claimed to have raised 35 people from the dead, including 3 people in Pakistan as reported by multiple outlets in September 2015, including Morningstar TV (part of Heritage International Ministries, headed by Rick Joyner).[19][20][21][22]
The lack of medical corroboration of claimed healings and "dead-raisings" led to questioning and investigation by the media and many others. A 2008 Nightline report concluded that "not a single miracle could be verified."[13][11][23] Bentley was also criticized for occasional violence done to participants of the Lakeland revivals.[19][13][24][25] He was known to forcefully kick, hit, smack, or knock over participants. In one incident, a man was knocked over and lost a tooth. In another, an elderly woman was intentionally kicked in the face. Bentley held that the Holy Spirit led him to such actions,[13][24] saying that the incidents were taken out of context and adding that miracles were happening simultaneously.[19]
On 9 July 2008, ABC News' Nightline broadcast an investigative report on Bentley, focusing on his faith healing claims, finances, and criminal past.[11] Following the report, Bentley took time off from the revival, but returned on 18 July 2008.[11] Five days later, Bentley and Strader announced that Bentley would be leaving the revival permanently and that his last day would be 23 August 2008.[26]
Divorce issueEdit
Bentley announced his separation from his wife, Shonnah, in August 2008,[1][27] and resigned from the Board of Fresh Fire.[28] A statement released by the remaining Board members said, "Todd Bentley has entered into an unhealthy relationship on an emotional level with a female member of his staff," and that he would "refrain from all public ministry for a season to receive counsel in his personal life."[29][27]
Some of Bentley's Christian contemporaries called for him to step down in the wake of the scandal, stating that Christian leadership is incompatible with marital unfaithfulness.[30][3][4] In response, a committee made up of Rick Joyner, Jack Deere, and Bill Johnson was formed to oversee the process of spiritually restoring Bentley's family.[31] In November 2008, the Board of Fresh Fire announced that Bentley was not submitting to the process.[27][32] On March 9, 2009, Rick Joyner announced that Bentley had remarried.[33][5][34]
A 2009 Charisma magazine interview with Rick Joyner refuted adultery claims while characterizing the relationship as wrong and premature. Joyner told Charisma that the new couple was committed to their marriage and would "continue to serve the Lord in the best way that they can."[32]
Resumption of preaching; UK banEdit
Around 2010, Rick Joyner declared that Bentley was 'restored,' and Bentley returned to preaching and leading crusades.[citation needed]
Following adverse publicity of an impending visit to the United Kingdom in August 2012, Bentley was made the subject of an exclusion order barring him from entering the country. The UK government's home office stated, "The government makes no apologies for refusing people access to the UK if we believe they are not conducive to the public good. Coming here is a privilege that we refuse to extend to those who might seek to undermine our society."[35]
In December 2012, following the death of Croydon MP Malcolm Wicks, Bentley was criticized in the UK press after remarking that the MP's death was "the Lord's justice" for the role Wicks played in barring Bentley from entering the country.[36]
Bentley highlights scriptural passages in his sermons. He emphasizes that spiritual or supernatural encounters in an individual's life are gifts from the Holy Spirit.[10][37] He has stated that his priority is to help people experience the presence of God. He wants the "Holy Spirit to manifest His glory in such a way that people can't deny the presence of a living God and they have a true born-again experience."[38] He also says: "Miracles and healings are evidence [...] they are signs of the Kingdom, and if we don't have signs then all we have is a bunch of theology."[14]
Bentley's testimony includes an account of visiting Heaven and meeting with Paul the Apostle.[not in citation given][citation needed] He has also preached about an encounter with an angel he called 'Emma',[17] at an Assemblies of God church in 2001.[citation needed] The female angel gave him a vision of gold coins, and Bentley states this was a sign of his future financial stability.[not in citation given][citation needed] In response to criticism about the Biblical inspiration of a female angel, Bentley wrote that it was God's choice, and not his own, that an angel appeared to him in that manner.[39] Bentley explained:
You know, I told the Lord, "Why can't I just move in healing and forget talking about all that… other stuff?" / He said, "Because, Todd, you gotta get the people to believe in the angel." / I said, "God, why do I want people to believe in the angel, isn't it about getting the people to believe in Jesus?" / He said, "The people already believe in Jesus, but the church doesn't believe in the supernatural." / The church has no problem believing in Jesus. But what we don't believe in is the supernatural.[40]
Pastor Strader of Ignited Church who invited Bentley to Lakeland said:
"We watch over everything. Everything that happens on the platform is scriptural [...] The nightly message has been totally 100 percent nothing but Jesus. People are saved, people are healed, and Jesus is being glorified. [...] Even some of my so-called friends are questioning my integrity, but they never come to the services. It's not fair just to watch [them] on TV."[41]
Joel's ArmyEdit
Bentley sponsored an internship program called 'Joel's Army,' in addition to having the words "Joel's Army" tattooed across his sternum with military dog tags,[42][43] demonstrating a level of commitment to the Latter Rain doctrine of the Manifest Sons of God, (or Man-Child Generation), as preached by William M. Branham.[44]:74f The program's doctrine is associated with an interpretation of Chapter 12 of the New Testament book, Revelation—that in the last age before Jesus returns, there will be a generation of specially endowed Christians who will be able to do many miracles, and will usher in the reign of God.[43][44]:84 This is in the tradition of Branham and the healing revivals of the 50s, overlapping with Latter Rain Movement theology.[44]:90 Bentley's association with Paul Cain, an associate of Branham and himself a healing evangelist of the 50s, is a further connection to the movement.[45] Joel's Army has been connected to Dominion Theology and Fivefold ministry thinking.[43]
Bentley's physical appearance has been noted as being unconventional for that of an evangelist.[10][13] He has dozens of tattoos, multiple facial piercings, and a preference for T-shirts over ties.[2][46][47][48] His preaching style is also flamboyant and he is known for mannerisms including shouting 'Bam!' during his delivery.[17]

Stan Grant, Jr. (born 30 September 1963) is an Australian journalist and presenter for the ABC. Grant is of Aboriginal ancestry from the Wiradjuri.
Early years[edit]
Grant is a Wiradjuri man[2] from Griffith, New South Wales. He is the son of Stan Grant, an elder of the Wiradjuri people.
Grant commenced his tertiary education at the University of New South Wales, then to the Australian National University and got a job as a copy boy at The Canberra Times. He spent several years as a news presenter on the Australian Macquarie Radio Network and Seven and ABC television networks, along with a stint at CNN International in Hong Kong and Beijing, responsible for the news network's coverage of China.[1]
In 1994, as host of the Seven Network current affairs program Real Life he won the Logie Award for Most Popular Current Affairs Program.[3]
In 2007, alongside news presenter Mary Kostakidis he took on the role of co-presenter of the one-hour 6.30 pm SBS World News Australia bulletin. His former wife Karla Grant is also employed on the SBS program Living Black.
In September 2007, Grant was announced presenter and producer of ABC Local Radio's Indigenous programme Speaking Out which focuses on culture, lifestyle and political issues affecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in Australia. Grant replaced Kerry Klimm and in 2008, Grant was replaced by Rhianna Patrick. In December 2007, Grant resigned from SBS World News Australia and was replaced by Anton Enus. In 2008, Grant joined the World Bank as Senior Communications Officer,[4] based in Sydney.
In 2009 Grant was appointed UAE correspondent for CNN. Based in CNN's new Abu Dhabi news-gathering and production centre, Grant covers stories from both the UAE and the surrounding region[5] and hosts Prism. Grant returned to Australia in 2013 and hosted a nightly late night news program NewsNight for Sky News Australia, which aired weeknights at 11pm.[6] From 2014 he started hosting Sky News Australia's Reporting Live with Stan Grant at 6pm, a nightly news program reporting on the serious news stories of the day. In April he hosted Crimes that Shook Australia, a six-part television drama series broadcast on FOXTEL.[7]
In 2016, Grant will host a nightly news bulletin on NITV titled The Point with Stan Grant.[8] The same year, Grant began winding back his duties at Sky News, including the hiatus of his program Reporting Live.[9]
From 2017, Grant will join the ABC as editor of indigenous Affairs coverage, fill-in host of 7.30 and host of The Link, which airs on Friday nights at 7.30pm.[10]
The Tears of Strangers[edit]
In 2013, Grant published a memoir, The Tears of Strangers, which details the political and social changes of Indigenous Australians over the period of 40 years, focusing particularly on generations of the Wiradjuri people. Grant hopes to develop the memoir into a play or a documentary.[1]
Talking To My Country[edit]
Grant's second book, Talking To My Country, was published in February 2016. The origins of the book came from the abuse of Adam Goodes in 2015[11] and how it made Australia confront the darkest parts of its country, which Grant says was about 'shared history and our failure to reconcile'.[12] In a review for The Saturday Paper,[13] Talking To My Country was described as "Australia viewed from the riverbank on the edge of town; great affection mixed with discomfort about 'Advance Australia Fair'".
Personal life[edit]
Grant is a member of the Wiradjuri tribe of Indigenous Australians from the south-west inland region of New South Wales. The Wiradjuri also have roots in inner Victoria, which is where he spent much of his childhood.
Grant was married to Karla Grant with whom he had three children.[1] A well publicised marriage break-up in 2000, prior to the Sydney Olympic Games, resulted from his starting a relationship with fellow TV personality Tracey Holmes. After criticism from News Corporation tabloids,[14] while News was involved in the C7 Sport dispute with Seven, his employment at the Seven Network was terminated as a result, and he and Tracey Holmes moved to Hong Kong.[1] Some news articles have reported that both were fired from their positions with Seven, but in a 2015 interview, Holmes stated that they had both resigned in protest over Seven trying to dictate their living arrangements. Holmes stated that she felt there would have been no controversy if Grant had been a white man.[15] Grant and Holmes have one son together.[1]
Grant is an ambassador of the Australian Indigenous Education Foundation.[16]

Greg Cook braved the rain for last night's anti-Bannon, anti-Nazi protest outside the Kennedy School in Harvard Square.

London, Jan 20 (ANI): An elderly widow from New Milton, Hants, has won police bravery award after she sent a burglar screaming from her home by battering him with a walking stick.
84-year-old Doris Thiele hit 6ft 4in Leon Ingram round the head for eight minutes while her daughter Helen held him in a headlock, reports the Sun.
Terrified Ingram, 34, smashed his way through the conservatory doors with his head to get away. The serial burglar left a trail of blood to a nearby flat, where he was arrested.
"I hope this sends a strong message to other burglars. If someone else comes they'll get more of the same," 5ft 3in Doris said.
Heroin user Ingram - described as a "one-man crimewave" - was jailed for three years after admitting burglary at Southampton Crown Court. He had 32 previous convictions. (ANI)

NGO seeks stay on Malaysian model`s caning
An NGO has sought a stay on the caning of a part-time Malaysian model convicted for drinking in public.
Kuala Lumpur: An NGO has sought a stay on the caning of a part-time Malaysian model convicted for drinking in public.
Sisters in Islam (SIS) on Friday filed for a stay on the caning of 32-year-old Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno, who wants to go through the punishment in public to atone for her crime.
The case has embarrassed Malaysian authorities who call their country a moderate Muslim state.
SIS executive director Hamidah Marican said as an advocacy group working on women`s rights, it was acting in public interest to "resolve controversies and provide clarity on the issue", The Star said on Sunday.
Shukarno and a waitress were fined RM 5,000 (USD 1,400) each and ordered to face six rotan strokes.
Malaysia`s majority Muslim population is governed by both the civil law and the Islamic law. The latter forbids Muslims from drinking.
"SIS urges the authorities to refrain from executing the sentence on Kartika until all legal and other avenues have been exhausted," she said.

Social Media
The Auckland Football Federation Coaches Network Facebook page is a useful portal to keep up to date with upcoming courses, sharing information and reaching out to members of the coaching community in our region.
You can access the Facebook page here.
New Zealand Football recognise the enormous contribution that coaches of all abilities make to the game. Coaches require the skills, experience and qualifications relevant to the level of players they work with. The mantra 'Better Coaches, Better Players' summarises this succinctly by inferring the development of better coaches will lead to the development of better players.
To create 'better players' New Zealand must develop 'better coaches' and our 'better coaches should be working with our better players'.
The NZF Coach Education consists of two pathways, "Community" and "Advanced", allowing coaches to learn knowledge and skills that are specific to their situation, in an appropriate learning environment. Players require very different coaching at different stages in their development and these two pathways aim to provide support at each stage. Beginning coaches can enter the Community pathway at Introduction level or, if they believe that previous playing and coaching experience provides them with a higher base of knowledge, can immediately enter the Advanced pathway.
To view the Coach Education Pathway Click here
Coaches at the community level are the 'backbone' of the coaching family and crucial to increasing participation and laying the foundations in developing the basic skills and intrinsic motivation that players need to have a lifelong passion for football.
The Community Pathway provides the volunteer coach, who may have varying levels of football knowledge or experience, with learning to ensure that they engage the players in a highly stimulating way.
The Advanced Pathway provides coaches with a structure to become a professional, 'expert' coach. New Zealand Football recognise that the game needs expert coaches at all age groups.

We were told that the nearest breakfast place was Flames 4 blocks away when Caffe Frascati the number one rated restaurant on tripadvisor was only one hundred yards round the corner.

I fell at home. Pain in my back and knees progressively got worse. My physician referred me to Dr. John O. Watson. My husband and I were both extremely impressed with not only the thoroughness of the exam and the time Dr. Watson took to explain what he thought might be contributing to my pain, but also with his expertise and the advanced equipment used in the exam. It is so important to a patient to feel the doctor takes the time to listen and doesn't make you feel like you're hurried through the exam just to get on to the next patient. It is also important to have confidence in your doctor. I would highly recommend Dr. Watson to family and friends. The staff were also friendly, professional, and considerate.

A truely excellent physician
Dr. John Watson is an exceptional physician. Upon his first examination, he immediately had x-rays and an MRI of my back and hip done. When he determined that I would need injections into my spine it was done in a totally painless procedure. Dr. Watson even called after the procedure to make sure that I was alright. Can't speak highly enough about him.

I have every confidence in Dr. Watson. Three years ago I had seen another doctor about my condition, and he brushed me off, saying there was nothing he could do for me. Dr. Watson ran some tests and diagnosed my problem without having surgery or medicine. I am currently following his program with exercises and a support for my back. I have not felt this good, and without pain for a long time. I highly recommend Dr. Watson as my doctor and if anyone needs a doctor for back pain, he is the one to see.
