We've been in business for about 4 months and noticed our expenses and profits didn't add up. Next Article Pam Newman It really depends on the types of theft that are taking place, money or product. Installing security cameras is a great idea to prevent both as well as doing daily inventory of product and balancing the cash drawer daily. There can be many other types of measures put into place as well, but these are a couple of ideas that can be implemented immediately and deter theft.

RoK minister urges quick ratification of FTAs with China, Vietnam
The Republic of Korea (RoK)'s Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Yoon Sang-jick called for the early approval of free trade agreements (FTA) with Vietnam and China in a bid to reverse export downturns on September 3, according to Yonhap, the RoK's news agency.
The nation formally signed the FTA with Vietnam in May 2015 and with China a month later.
The two pacts can serve as a stimulus to the domestic market, given the world's fourth biggest economy recorded 39.3 billion USD in August export revenue, a 14.7 percent annual drop and the highest reduction in the past six years.
In a meeting with reporters, Minister Yoon highlighted Vietnam and China as top consumers of local products.
With China facing difficulties, as the RoK's largest trading partner and the world's No. 2 economy, the importance of Southeast Asian countries are on the rise, he said noting that the expansion of Korean businesses in places like Vietnam has helped mitigate negative impacts from Chinese currency fluctuations.-VNA

Factors you may need to know about 1000 calorie diet results:

– Stretching your neck and back muscles is a great way to strengthen your abdominals and lower your blood pressure
– You can increase your aerobic capacity by doing squats, leg curls, and lunges
– The more fat you have, the more likely you'll be able to burn more calories
The best bodybuilding exercise for women is about 35 minutes of strength training per week. The more you work, the more you can burn off more than you are doing. You can do a lot of stretching and toning exercises in order to increase the amount of muscle mass you have. A great way to lose cellulite is to get a good pair of exercise equipment. In addition, a great thing about this is that you can do it without any risk of side effects. You can do it by yourself or by doing a little research on your personal trainer.
Eat the proper foods and you will be on your way to a better diet. A great way to stay healthy is to eat a variety of fruits and vegetable. Vegetables are a good way to get your blood sugar and cholesterol levels under normal. Foods that are high in fiber and protein are a good source of cholesterol. If you are overweight, it is best to cut down on the amount of food you eat. Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables will make a big difference in your blood glucose control.
The most common cause of cellulite is the excess fats that are accumulated in the body. This is because fat cells are made up of more than four units of protein per gram. When you eat foods that are rich in fiber, you are more likely to have a higher level of cholesterol. The first thing you should do is to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. You can eat a variety of fruits and vegetables in a single glass of water. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamin c. they are good sources of antioxidants.

It is a great way to keep your muscles and joints healthy and flexible. Additionally, it is important to remember that the human body is made up of 75 percent water. Calcium is a mineral that is needed for the body to be strong and healthy. It is essential to have enough of the right amount of nutrients to keep the body healthy and functioning.
To lose weight, you need to eat more than three grams of carbs per day. This is a calorie-burning process that will help you to maintain your body's fat reserves. The best diet for losing weight is a combination of low-carbohydrate and protein. It's a fact that the diet is an important part of the human body. It is a fact that the body needs to be able to absorb the essential nutrients from the food we eat. The liver is the organ that is responsible for the elimination of all the waste products from the system.

The important reason to prevent heart attacks is to keep your blood pressure under normal limits. If you have a family history of heart problems, you should talk to your doctor about your blood pressure. The most common symptom of a heart problem is a sudden change in your heartbeat.
Fat Cells
The most common cause of cellulite is the fact that the fat is deposited in the abdominal area. Cellulite is a result of a genetic disorder that is inherited from a family member. The fat cells in the abdominal region are the ones that are affected by cellulite. The most commonly known cause of cellulite is the fatty deposits on the skin. It is believed that fat cells are the main culprit in the formation of cellulites. This is the reason why cellulite is caused by the body's own metabolism.
The most effective way to lose fat is to simply eat a diet that is low in carbohydrates. A good way to lose weight is to get your body to burn more calories than you consume. The next thing you want to do is to eat a diet that is low in fat and carbohydrates. You can also use a juicer to make your diet a little more enjoyable.

When the body is deprived of oxygen, the cells are unable to produce enough of the antioxidants to survive. This is a result of the body's ability to store the nutrients in the blood.
The first and foremost thing that you can do is to stop drinking alcohol. The most common way to stop the flu is to drink a glass of milk. It can be a great idea to have a beer or a glass of wine. If you are a vegetarian, you can get a lot of help from a trusted source. You can also get a good dose of the herb from a health food store. It can be purchased at any drugstore and can be bought in a supermarket or in grocery store.
The truth is that there are many diets that are quick to lose belly fat. The fact is that the more fat you have, the more likely you are to have a heart attack. The good news is that you can reduce your risk of heart disease by making sure you get enough sleep. The best exercise you can do is take a few minutes to do a little walking. You can do this by walking briskly, sitting, or lying on the floor. Walking is a great exercise to do, but it is good for your back.

Welcome to the new version of The ADO Guy. Most of the changes are under the covers, but there are a few things to note:
Please let me know what you like and don't like. A couple of things aren't working yet:
I've added a couple of new features (thanks to Chris Sells for QA'ing it for me):
I've been working on a problem for a client's project. We are doing pretty raw RAD design for a small intranet project so I thought, hey let's just do SqlDataSources to get the pages up and running fast. This works fine *if* we don't want any concurrency.
Let me repeat that, this works fine *if* we do not want concurrency.
Url: http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.as...
According to this post (this highlights my belief that MS is discouraging DataSets enough though they are using them everywhere (e.g. inside DataSources)). SInce Typed DataSets don't work out of the box with ObjectDataSources, we are left with three uncomfortable solutions:
I am working on a portal project with ASP.NET 2.0 and I am loving it. Lots of stuff is in the box that I need. The project is using VB.NET so I wanted to make sure that everything was Option Explcit On and Option Strict On...but since it is a Web Application, the normal property pages are nowhere to be found (unless I am missing it). If I create any other project type (I think), I can look at the project property pages and see the Compile tab:
This probably isn't entirely correct since I am just looking at the output (e.g. the database rows) to determine this. For each object in profile (i.e. Users), there is a single row in the aspnet_Profile table. This table is made up like so:
The three middle columns are used to store the properties and their values. PropertyNames stores a list of properties with hints on how to retrieve it from the String or Binary column. For example:
This new property (*not* event), allows you to wire up clientside code to be executed before the server-side onclick is handled. In the old days we had to do this manually. For example, this is how you would hook up a simple confirmation dialog:
This allows you to cancel the server-side event if the user says nope! Cool!
Url: http://msdn.microsoft.com/asp.net/whidbey/beta2...
Of particular interest is the DataSetDataSource object which is being postponed. Though you can use the ObjectDataSource to bind to a Typed DataSet so it's not that much of a death-knell. Check it out...
I've been digging deep in to ASP.NET 2.0 the last couple weeks and I have been pleasantly surprised by a number of nice changes that probably didn't make the new features lists:
In addition, I was surprised by the intuitive forms authentication controls. I was using the PasswordReminder control and wanted to capture the reminder and change the password to reset the password instead of remind them of their password since we were just storing the hashes. But after digging in deep, I found out that since I setup the personalization to store as hashes, it was resetting the password.
I am getting married and that means I get a bunch of development tasks to do for the wedding planning. I guess it's my own fault, I did propose with an app.
One of the tasks I had to do was create a new page on my wedding site for the day of the wedding to include things like directions and parking. Pretty simple HTML stuff, but one thing I wanted to be sure of was to only show the page on the day of the wedding. This should be easy, but the time zone of the server has kicked my ass before.
As a fan of the direction of ASP.NET, I've been an avid fan of Phil Haack's for some time now. His clarity of communicating why the web should work definitely helped ASP.NET become the great framework it is today. He's now doing the same thing at GitHub!
I get to finally use my bad joke about his last name on this week's podcast. We also talk about his start, the move to Seattle to work at Microsoft and how to keep Californian's out of Washington state.
One of the things that I help companies with are code reviews. I love doing code reviews. It let's me look at a large codebase with fresh eyes and help a company out with a set of recommendations for improving their process, teams and code.
After doing enough of these some patterns emerged. From this has come my new Pluralsight course on Lessons Learned from Real World .NET Code Reviews.
As many of you know, my recent course on Pluralsight dealt with Best Practices in ASP.NET: Entities, Validation and View Models. As I've worked with clients, there seem to be a non-ending list of ways to deal with data in ASP.NET.
One of the topics that I am passionate about as it relates to the course is how to manage the Model to Entity relationship. While being pragmatic is important, I still believe that there are many situations where you want a separate Model for a view (server or client-side) instead of just using the Entities that you're storing data with.
I'm diligently working towards my new Pluralsight course and I am very excited about it. The new course is an end-to-end building of a web app using ASP.NET 5, MVC6, Entity Framework 7, Angular 1.4, and Bootstrap 3.x.
This course is a bit different than other courses I've done because we're releasing it before the RTM of ASP.NET 5. Because of this, I wanted to let my students know what to expect.
As I've been digging into building apps with ASP.NET 5, I've had to get used to some of the new metaphors. Some of these make sense (especially if you've used Node before), but some are brand new to me. One of these metaphors I ran into was the idea of Identity notifications.
The problem I was running into was one I thought many people would run into: using Identity (e.g. authentication/authorization) with REST APIs. Here is the scenario:
I had planned on finishing these a long time ago, but working on my Pluralsight course about ASP.NET 5 distracted me. Sorry about that.
If you've been doing web development in .NET, you probably have at least a passing experience with ASP.NET's MVC framework. At it's core, it's a common way to build and architect web applications. The new stack is built on the same metaphors from the older versions. If you've been using MVC before, you won't be lost and some of the additions are welcome.
The more I work with ASP.NET 5, the more it looks and feels like the old ASP.NET stack except for the hosting. That's a good thing in most cases, but writing the API that changes.
If you've been following along, you know by now that I'm investing my time into learning ASP.NET 5. Now that the ASP.NET team have released a new version, let me help you move your code to the new version.
The update this time includes some simple package changes but also some major API changes. I am sure I can't cover them all here, but hopefully I'll help you avoid the major ones.
I want to thank all the great attendees I met at this week's DEVIntersection (Fall 2015) conference in Vegas! Richard Campbell and company put on a great show!
I had the opportunity to do three talks and two of them went well (if you were at my Bootstrap talk, you know what I'm talking about). In any case, I wanted to share the slide and code with the attendees so here it is:
As most of you already know, I have a new course on ASP.NET 5. I've just released a teaser video that shows how the Bower.json editor in Visual Studio works.
The course was recently updated to use the ASP.NET Beta 8 bits. I am looking forward to the next update of ASP.NET and expect to continue to update the course all the way through the RTM.
UPDATED: Missed fixes.
It's that time again. ASP.NET 5 has a new release and this one has a go-live license! As announced today, the RC1 is available and a new RC2 is coming in the future.
I had a great time today talking about ASP.NET 5 on a Pluralsight webinar. Over 1,000 people were able to attend. Thank you all for tuning in!
The webinar showed the very basics of what ASP.NET 5 is and why it exists. I had fun answering all the questions and wish we had time to answer more.
For my upcoming course, I have a decent sized example that I'll be teaching from. In the process of watching ASP.NET 5 go through the sprints, I have to upgrade the project at every step. I feel at some point I should be getting better at dealing with the sprints, but not yet ; )
Here is a short post that includes the different things I had to deal with in upgrading the project. It's not just the ASP.NET 5 update, but also EF7 and a couple of small details.

- What is retirement planning?
In simple words retirement planning is planning to be happy post retirement. Our primary goal in life is to be happy!! We may say we want to be 'Rich' but what we truly aim for is to be 'happy'. We confuse 'being happy' with 'being rich'. Now during our working life, typically between the age of 25 to 60 years, we have a steady income and we find means and way to spend the money in order to be happy. And we would all secretly wish that the arty continues till the day we die. Unfortunately post retirement the money inflows abruptly stop post retirement – but the expenses keep increasing!! Retirement planning is the solution to this problem. It is a method whereby you save sufficient amount for your future and ensure that the music never stops and the party does continue till you live!! And you can quite literally be 18 till you die!!
- What is the right age to plan for retirement?
While there is no right age to plan for retirement, the sooner you plan the better the results. The objective of doing the retirement planning is basically to calculate the level of "savings" at which you can retire and withdraw from the same for the rest of your life. It is common sense that the sooner in your life you get to know about the golden figure, the sooner you can start saving towards it and the sooner you start saving towards your retirement corpus, the lesser amount you will have to save per month. Nowadays, most of us want to retire by the age of 45 or at max by the age of 50. Hence, ideally, you should do your retirement planning before the age of 35 so that we get at least a time frame of 10 – 15 years to save towards the retirement corpus.
- Is retirement planning a complex process?
If you have the right approach, then the answer is no! However, unfortunately we have made our life so complicated that everything starts looking complex. Retirement planning is actually a pretty straight forward process and boils down to one million dollar question – "What kind of life you want to life post retirement?". Once you decide on that, we do the rest of the calculation and arrive at the corpus you need to build before you can retire. We also help you in building the corpus by guiding you on the various investment options available. Financial issues, just like life, becomes so much simple if you take the right advice at the right time, make a right plan, have faith and be sincere.
- What details do I need to provide?
Just like when you go to a doctor, the more details you give regarding your health, the better the diagnosis that the doctor can do and the better medications he can recommend. Similarly, when you come to us for financial health check-up, the more details you tell us about your financial history, financial present and financial future, the better can plan your retirement and the better investment options we can suggest. The details will include answers to the questions such as:
i. Your current income
ii. Your current monthly household expenses
iii. Your current other expenses (shopping, holidays, entertainment, etc)
iv. Your current expenses on kid's (school fees, tuitions, etc)
v. Your plan for your kid's future (higher education, marriage, etc)
vii. Your plan for your post retirement life (what kind of life, how much will it cost per month, etc)
vii. Your other goals in life (vacations, pilgrimage, charity, etc)
- Is retirement planning a one-time activity?
No plan in life can be a one-time activity. Every plan is based on certain facts and certain assumptions. These facts as well as assumptions are based on various factors and as such are subject to change. Hence it is highly recommended that a person does a periodic reality check of his/her plans and align them, if required, with the changes in the facts and assumptions.
- What do you mean by 'retirement is not a factor of age'?
We constantly keep hearing to statements such as "I will retire at 45".. or "I will slog till I am 40 and after that I will retire and all my time would be for my family". While these things sound pretty good, however they are not realistic. How can one retire at the age of 45 if he does not accumulate enough savings to suffice for the rest of his/her (& the spouse's) life? Further, how would anybody know how much savings he/she needs to accumulate to ensure that it will suffice for the rest of his/her (& the spouse's) life? Hence if you think rationally, you will realise that retirement is a factor of your savings and not of your age. If you accumulate "sufficient" savings, you can retire at the age of 30.. why wait till 45?!!
- Why do I need a financial planner for my retirement planning?
Please refer to our blog "Why do I need a financial Planner".
- What will be the charges?
Please write to us for a quotation or click here
- How long will the process take?
Typically, we will have need to have two meetings. In the first meeting, we brief you about the points that we will be discussing in the second meeting. Between the 1st & 2nd meeting, you and your spouse discuss amongst yourselves and decide on the various points that will be discussed in the second meeting. In the second meeting, we have a detailed discussion on the points so as to gather all the details which will help us in preparing a robust retirement plan for you. Between the 2nd & 3rd meeting, we prepare a robust retirement plan for you. In the 3rdmeeting, we tell you how much retirement corpus you need to build in order to live a retired life you desire, we explain you the logic behind the calculation, we make any changes that you might require and once we finalize on the corpus we finalize the plan to achieve the corpus.

- How do I choose from the various instruments?
The selection of investment instruments depend on various parameters such as – (a) Rate of return, (b) Liquidity, (c) Your financial Goals, (d) Your risk appetite, etc.
- Why do I need to know about all the investment options?
Imagine going to the road side small shop to buy grocery and then imagine going to a huge departmental store to buy the same grocery. You will agree that by going to the departmental store, you will be able to explore all the options available and possible get a better quality product for a lower price. Likewise, knowing all the various investment options available enables us to make a better choice and thereby earn a better return on our investments at a lower risk.
- Why should I investment in more than one instrument?
You must have heard of a general proverb "Don't put all your eggs in one basket". Having a diversified financial portfolio not just ensures that your risk is diversified, but it also ensures that your returns are maximized. One predominant excuse we have for not investing in different investment instruments is that it is too much of a hassle to maintain various paper documents and to remain in touch with different investment agents. However if you approach a right financial planner, you will be able to get all the alternatives under one roof – besides all the investments are in demat format and can be held in your demat account.

CIBIL stands for Credit Information Bureau (India) Limited. It is the first credit information company in India, established in August 2000. The company collects and maintains credit records of individuals as well as commercial entities. This includes borrowing and payments related to loans and credit cards.
- What is CIBIL score? What impact does it have on my loan eligibility?
CIBIL plays a major role in loan application and approval processes. Without a satisfactory CIBIL score, you may not be eligible for many loans. After you fill and submit your loan application form, a bank will first check your credit score and credit report. If you have a bad credit history and a low credit score, the bank may outrightly reject your loan application. Only if your credit score is good will a bank consider your loan application and pass it through for approval. CIBIL scores are the deciding factor for many banks when it comes to considering your application. The higher the score, the higher the chance your loan application will be reviewed and approved. However, the decision to approve your loan application is completely dependent on the bank; CIBIL as an institution does not play any role here.
- Why Strategik Financial Services?

Something pretty monumental is happening over on this little space of the Internet. Something that involves me blogging for five whole years! Oh yes, tomorrow is the official anniversary date and I can't believe how quickly the time has gone. To celebrate this little milestone I've put together a beauty setup video over on my YouTube channel. Not a collection video as such, this is more a short edit of where I store my makeup stash and what my vanity setup looks like.
If you have any questions about anything shown or want more information just let me know :) Enjoy!

The orphan crisis in Africa is entering a new stage of urgency. In addition to the fact that there are now nearly 16 million orphans, the age of these orphans is another critical factor. The epidemic is entering it's 20th year and many of these orphans are aging out of the support programs they were once in. They go out into a world with very few opportunities. Boys without job options may grow frustrated and turn to drugs or gangs. Girls with no options often turn to prostitution, and the vicious cycle repeats.
Ujamaa, along with St. John's Pumwani, is pioneering a new approach to helping this vulnerable group of young Kenyans. We start by Placing Older OVC's in community apprenticeships which provide skills training and employment in their own communities. We are finding that this model is much more effective then costly vocational training/starter kit model that very often don't result in successful self employment.

PRAYER- Part III
In the third part of our six-part series on prayer, we will be focusing on the third letter in P-R-A-Y-E-R, the "A." So far, the first two letters discussed have been proven to be of critical importance in regards to the power of any Christian's prayers. Likewise, after this discussion, again it will become evident that this very element is – as are the others – an indispensable fraction in the final and complete composition in the effectiveness and outcome of our prayers.
As discussed in Part I and II (and please refer back to those two articles before delving into this if you have not already done so) prayer is a composition of these six characters, and only a concerted employment of all six at once can assure a prayer that will – without any doubt – be answered. Dispense of one or fail in any one, and rest assured, the prayer is completely compromised.
So, without further ado, the third element and letter in prayer-
A- Appreciation (thanks or praise):
While showing appreciation by giving thanks in prayer, giving praise to God, or even offering thanks in church, might seem like an obvious process to most of you, it is one whose purpose and manner are often confused. But as the Lord would have it, he will take us into the very depth of the reasons why he places so much importance on this aspect of our prayer and worship.
• The purpose of appreciation-
Psalms 50:23 - He who brings thanksgiving as his sacrifice honors me.
Proverbs 3:9 - Honor the LORD with your substance and with the first fruits of all your produce;10 then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine.
It is clear from the verses above that he who offers and brings thanksgiving to God, does not only delight the Lord, but indeed honors him. If nothing else is evident, let this be evident- that the Lord is a God of reciprocity; that those who honor him, he also honors. And that is why the second verse above from the Book of Proverbs dictates very clearly that by honoring the Lord with thanksgiving and praise, we set ourselves up for the "plenty and bounty" of God's riches and blessings.
Thus far, if it sounds like what I am saying is that only by giving unto God do we set ourselves up to receive from the Lord, then you are following me correctly.
In our daily lives, in every minute contained in every hour of every passing day, you will find that each second brings a new "Act of God" for which we owe him appreciation; be it merely waking up to see a new light, leaving our homes safely and reaching our destinations safely – even though we observe other motorists in fatal accidents by the side of the road – the terrible tragedies that befall others in the world, or how, despite some of our tragedies, the Lord still finds it in his heart to deliver us, the food we eat, the jobs we have ( no matter how much we may loathe them), the wife or husband he has given us, the children, the relatives, even the opportunity of being where you are…and so on and so forth. You will find that the beginning and end of any day brings us a thousand great gifts from God for which we ought to give thanks and show appreciation.
We may take a gift of having a spouse for granted, until – heaven forbid – that spouse is taken from us, or that parent or child or job. And suddenly the world seems so bleak, gloomy, dark, and full of pain and irrevocable anguish. Why not let the Lord know we appreciate all these gifts before Satan comes to remind us by taking them away?
Consider this incident-
Luke 17: - 12 And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers, who stood at a distance 13 and lifted up their voices and said, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us." 14 When he saw them he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." And as they went they were cleansed. 15 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice; 16 and he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan. 17 Then said Jesus, "Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? 18 Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?" 19 And he said to him, "Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well."
If you noticed, the scripture says all ten were cleansed on their way to meeting with the priests. But because only one returned to praise the Lord for his gift, the Lord not only cleansed him – which denotes a temporary state of restoration – but also healed him and made him well, which indicates permanent and perfect restoration. So, the grace and healing that should have been given to all ten was now lavished on one. Yes, the nine lepers would show themselves cleansed before the priests; but only on the surface and only for a little while. It is much like a cancer that becomes dormant through treatment. But sooner or later, unless it is completely removed, it will ultimately return to plague the body again. And that was the difference between the nine lepers who were cleansed and the one who was healed and made well. And all this because he gave praise and thanks to the Lord.
The Pythagorean of Praise
While giving thanks to God may seem as simple and straightforward as singing praises and saying thank you for all the Lord has done, there is a manner, a system, a "Pythagorean of Praise" that must be employed, that distinguishes and determines the quality, quantity and expediency of the reward. Using four characters in the Good Book, the illustration will be made-
Noah – The Philanthropic Praise
Genesis 8:20 Then Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 21 And when the LORD smelled the pleasing odor, the LORD said in his heart, "I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I ever again destroy every living creature as I have done. 22 While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease."
The philanthropic praise applies to our everyday appreciation of God, recognizing and appreciating the works of his hands- the food, the air, the water etc; a general love and an all-inclusive appreciation of God's goodness. This "Noah" theory of praise not only expects that you praise God, but demands that you praise him and offer thanks. It's the simple logic and rule of gratitude for services rendered or gifts received. The earth was swept up by a flood and every living creature – save Noah, his family and the creatures in the ark with him – were swept up in the pent up flood of the Lord's wrath. Consequently, after Noah and his family came out as the only survivors of this event, Noah was moved to show his appreciation to God for the earth and the world in general, which the Lord had yet preserved through him, by sacrificing the best of every living creature; the very best, as Abel before him had done. And the aroma of this act of appreciation was so great and pleasing to the Lord, that even though he had already blessed him by saving him from his wrath, the Lord was again inspired to bless him, his descendants, the earth, and establish a glorious covenant that will never be changed from generation to generation.
Has the Lord given you what you have been asking for? Has the Lord manifested great wonders and deeds in your life? Has he saved you from cancer? Has he spared your life in a war that has taken the lives of many others? Has your brother, sister, child or parent been saved from the casualty of war? Have you been given home, education, employment, residency, child, spouse, wealth or whatever you thought you could never have? Are you alive, well and able to read this article? Are you living in a world where you are able to look forward to three meals a day and loads of snacks in between when there are others who think Christmas means the day I get a cup of rice and clean water to drink? Then, don't say you have nothing to be thankful for? Making it to class, work and back home is enough to thank the Lord. Thank him by saying a praise or two, spend yourself on his behalf, if you are so willed. There isn't a single artist who doesn't want his work to be seen, acknowledged, recognized and appreciated. Michelangelo's glory was not in the painting of those murals; those beautiful images of spandrels, lunettes, medallions, and pendentives on the ceiling of the Capella Sistina or the Sistine Chapel. But rather, his delight was in the crooning, seduction, amazement and appreciation in people's eyes, gestures and comments when they looked up into that ceiling and stood there, mouth agape, arrested by the beauty of his work. The reward of art is the praise it receives. Our Lord God, the master craftsman and artist has painted the greatest work of art to ever survive time- the world. You are a part of it, and it consequently behooves you to recognize that privilege by thanking him for every day you get to live in it. Bring a gift into his sanctuary as a demonstration of your appreciation; something tangible, something the enemy will see and envy for himself. Offer thanks to the Lord with something that will so move the Lord that he will establish an everlasting covenant with you and through you. He is God. He deserves at least that. And if you are unsure as to what to offer the Lord or how to spend for the Lord, then consider
David. – The Passionate Praise. 1 Chronicles 21:21 As David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David and went forth from the threshing floor, and did obeisance to David with his face to the ground. 22 And David said to Ornan, "Give me the site of the threshing floor that I may build on it an altar to the LORD--give it to me at its full price--that the plague may be averted from the people." 23 Then Ornan said to David, "Take it; and let my lord the king do what seems good to him; see, I give the oxen for burnt offerings, and the threshing sledges for the wood, and the wheat for a cereal offering. I give it all." 24 But King David said to Ornan, "No, but I will buy it for the full price; I will not take for the LORD what is yours, nor offer burnt offerings which cost me nothing." 25 So David paid Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the site. The passion David had for the Lord is what urged him to demand to pay the maximum price for his offering to God. And if you read through almost every Psalm, you will see the evidence of David's passion for the Lord. Considering this passage in particular, what David clearly demonstrates is that he understood the worth and value of God. He understood that the Lord was too great a King for him to have offered something he received or found for free, he understood that the price of his offering and the inconvenience of obtaining it – be it physical, financial or emotional – demonstrated his love and appreciation for the Lord. So, not only did he pay for what had been offered to him for free, but he paid the maximum for it. Whatever you offer to the Lord, do it out of the fullness of your heart, and offer only the most qualitative of whatever you have decided to bring before him. Do not seek the cheapest and even then, bargain for a better price. He is a God of Reciprocity. He measures back into your laps, the quality of what you offer unto him. You only need to read of Cain and Abel- Genesis 4:3-7:In the course of time Cain brought to the LORD an offering of the fruit of the ground, 4 and Abel brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions. And the LORD had regard for Abel and his offering, 5 but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell. 6 The LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry, and why has your countenance fallen? 7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? Remember, the Lord gave up his only son for your sake. If nothing else, does such a King at best not deserve everything you have, and at the very least, the best and most qualitative of what you have? Indeed he does! And so much more. So, why, then, do we give such paltry crumbs into our offerings in church? Yet, we would spend twenty dollars on a terrible movie and tasteless popcorn without blinking an eye, but twenty dollars out of our pocket into the collection plate is such a terrible inconvenience. Don't concern yourself with who or what the church is using the money for, concern yourself only with the Lord who sees everything done in secret and rewards you publicly.
Solomon. – The Preemptive Praise This is perhaps my favorite and one of the most highly regarded type of praise before God- The "Preemptive Praise" does not wait to see or receive the reward, but instead offers the thanks in anticipation of the reward. The preemptive praise does not depend on the date of arrival or the quantity of the reward to determine the quality of his thanks offering. The preemptive praise cares only to please and praise God, and cares to demonstrate his love by showing the Lord that his faith is so great in God that he will offer thanks long before he has received anything. Can you imagine an employer coming up to you and saying, "We believe so much in you that beginning today, you will be paid in advance for all the work we know you will perform, and in fact, we will give you a large bonus in advance because we know you will do such a marvelous job!" How much more motivated will you, the employee, be at that particular job? Will you not tire yourself on behalf of the employer? Will you not go to any length to ensure that this employer receives everything and more of what is demanded? Of course you would! Well, the exact same principles work with God, and this is the very crux of the preemptive praise. 2 Chronicles: 1-6 And Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before the LORD, which was at the tent of meeting, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it. 7 In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, "Ask what I shall give you." 8 And Solomon said to God, 10 "…Give me now wisdom and knowledge to go out and come in before this people, for who can rule this thy people, that is so great?" 11 God answered Solomon, "12…wisdom and knowledge are granted to you. I will also give you riches, possessions, and honor, such as none of the kings had who were before you, and none after you shall have the like."
Because Solomon employed the preemptive praise by offering, not one, two or three, but a thousand bulls! as burnt offering to the Lord, even before he had asked or received what he desired of the Lord, the Lord God approached him with a blank check! Signed and sealed with the stamp of his zeal and approval. Just fill in the numbers. Mind you, this is also the only time the Lord ever demonstrated this generosity throughout the entire bible. Coincidence? No such thing in this religion we profess- "Ask for whatever you want me to give you,(NIV)" the Lord said to him. "Whatever (anything!)" And not only did the Lord give him his needs, because he did need wisdom to rule the people, but the Lord also gave him what he wanted and desired, more riches, wealth and honor than any king before or after him, including his father, David. So, don't wait for the manifestation of the object of your request before you come before the Lord with singing, dancing, praises and thanks offerings, be preemptive, and offer them long before you have received it. It demonstrates your faith in him and rouses up his zeal on your behalf! It's the praise that not only secures what you seek, but brings with it so much more than you could ever have imagined.
And finally
Job- The Preeminent Praise. I find this particular type of praise to be the most superior or preeminent, because it is by far the most difficult; even more difficult that what Solomon had done. It demands not only that you give praise and show appreciation, but demands that you do it despite the terrible affliction, trial or troubles that have besieged you. Such is the praise demanded of a widow who has just lost a spouse, a child who has just lost a parent or worse, a parent who has just lost a child. I remember a few years ago, I was employed with a bank that had recently merged with another and consequently was downsizing. My department, along with its six hundred plus employees, was being terminated effective in one week; but at least we would be given a three month severance pay that would sustain us at our normal income rate until majority of us found a job. One day away from this severance packet, I was called in to meet with my supervisor who then terminated my employment for such a ridiculously irrelevant issue from over a year and a half ago, that neither I nor my co-workers could believe it. And of course, I was now out without any hopes of an income and no prospect in sight. "Sue them!" they all clamored. "It's unfair." But I didn't do that. And rather than go home and mope or drive around in confusion, while soaking my sorrows in alcohol ( I didn't have any money to buy some even if I wanted to anyway ), I came home, got on my knees and thanked God profusely like it was my last day on earth. Thanked him for the job I lost and for the better one I was about to receive. Three days letter, I received a letter from a company that had my resume on file from years before. They wanted to hire me. They made me an offer; a generous offer, especially given my circumstances. I turned them down, and still with no other prospects or source of income at hand. Two weeks later, I received a better offer from a better firm headed by one of my previous managers who remembered me and enjoyed my work. And that is the nature of the preeminent praise. It defies the seeming hopelessness of your calamitous situation. It stares the enemy dead in the face and defiantly praises the name of God without blinking!
And none did it better than Job. A man who had been lavishly blessed by God. He was the richest and most prosperous man in the entire land of Uz; a righteous and faithful servant of God. He possessed land, flocks, property, daughters, sons, wife, honor amongst friends and all the goodness any human being could desire. But suddenly, that terrible storm called Satan, came and ravaged him. And in an instant, his sons and daughters were crushed under the collapse of their house, felled by a terrible storm, while his enemies came and stole most of his sheep and cattle, and the flocks and property that were spared by the enemies were consumed by fire, and all of his servants save three were put to the sword. Yes, take a moment to imagine all this, upon one man, in one day! And despite all this, consider Job's reply to the report of this inconceivable tragedies: Job 1:" 20 Then Job arose, and rent his robe, and shaved his head, and fell upon the ground, and worshiped. 21 And he said, "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return; the LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised." 22 In all this Job did not sin or charge God with wrong.
Saying anything in addition to this verse concerning Job would simply be marginalizing the weight and measure of restraint, faith and poise demonstrated by Job throughout his ordeal. Yet it is important to note the conclusion on the trial Job faced: Job 42- 10 And the LORD restored the fortunes of Job; …and the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before. .. 12 And the LORD blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; and he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses. 13 He had also seven sons and three daughters…15 And in all the land there were no women so fair as Job's daughters; and their father gave them inheritance among their brothers. 16 And after this Job lived a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, four generations. 17 And Job died, an old man, and full of days.
"Appreciation," which the letter "A" denotes in our third series in the discussion of P-R-A-Y-E-R, is not as simple as it may have appeared in the beginning. Clearly there is a Pythagorean complexity that combines the various types of praises that are available to be employed by Christians. And at one moment or another, we will be required to offer one or the other in praise and appreciation of the Lord. But a true Christian does wait to select the appropriate type for the appropriate occasion, but rather finds a way to employ all types in all occasions in the praise and worship of God. And that very simply is the Pythagorean of Praise; to be able to combine the various formats of praise to establish the hypotenuse to your reward.
Philippians 4:4-6 – Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! …Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray constantly, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
Remember, giving thanks does not only honor the Lord, but prepares the way for you to receive from the Lord.
The Humble Servant of the Lord,
Damilola Olorunnisola.

Journal of Gluten Sensitivity Spring 2014 Issue
Celiac.com 11/10/2016 - So far, 2014 has been a challenging new year for me. I was reminded of some events that happened almost fifty years ago. Based on that reminder, I resolved to contact a former girlfriend, both to suggest that she get testing for celiac disease, and to apologize for some insensitive things I said and did when I was 17. She was a year younger than me and one grade behind me in school. She was very slender and exceedingly self-conscious about having what she called "a chest like a boy". (She may have been experiencing delayed development, as is sometimes seen in celiac disease.) Every new place we visited, she went looking for the washroom as soon as she could. Movie theatres, restaurants, libraries, everywhere we went, she found the washroom first. She even did that the first time she was at my mother's house, which occasioned an uncharitable comment from my mom.
Pat was also troubled by some microscopic hair that was growing on her upper lip. It sounds silly now, but these things were important to her at the time. I remember telling her that nobody could see her "moustache" without a magnifying glass. Nonetheless, she put Nair on it and, for at least one day, had the brightest red upper lip I have ever seen. She said it was too sore to put makeup on, so it really drew a lot of unwanted attention. Until meeting my wife, I never knew anyone who was as honest about who she was. I regret that I didn't appreciate her as much as I should have, but that was partly due to my age.
Time passed, way led onto way, and life happened. Forty nine years later, there I was, looking for her on Facebook and other social media. I tracked her through old phone numbers, family members, and I even searched the title on her parents' home. I was full of excitement about re-connecting with my old friend, a person with whom I had shared those last innocent days of adolescence. Our friendship had been cut short because her dad was transferred to a city more than 600 miles away, and she was annoyed with me because I had said and done some insensitive things. We never even wrote to each other. I used to talk about her with my students, explaining our mutual fascination with literature. I thought about her often, but never, until this year, considered contacting her.
After about a month of searching, I eventually found her. Much to my dismay, I was almost a year too late. She had passed away on March 10th of 2013, at the age of 64. At the time of her death, she was in the process of being evaluated for Parkinson's disease. She was at home when she experienced her last, massive seizure, which resulted in brain death. Both of her daughters are heartbroken over Pat's sudden, unexpected passing. Already a widow, Pat had left this world before I took the time and made the effort to be in touch with her again. I was filled with sadness, disappointment, and regret when I first reached one of her daughters and confirmed that she was the person I had known. I still wonder, if I had gotten in touch a decade earlier, would she still be alive? Would a gluten-free diet have helped her? I'll never know, but the relevant literature does seem to suggest that a gluten-free diet may have helped (1, 2).
Then, a week or so ago, I received an email from a concerned mom. Her athletic, teen-aged son was recovering from a brain concussion he had sustained. His friends who had sustained similar concussions, at other times, reported having recovered more quickly. His mom began to wonder if her son's slow recovery could be the result of his celiac disease, despite more than a decade of strict compliance with the diet. I didn't know. I could only offer the suggestions that he try daily supplementation with medium chain triglycerides, and a ketogenic diet, as they seem to have stopped my life-long tremors. I also suggested that he try avoiding dairy and soy as well, based on research I did 14 years ago for my grandson.
This concerned mom also mentioned, "I generally find doctors are dismissive of the idea that celiac is linked to any issues outside the digestive tract, unless it's malnutrition-related, and they tend to think everything should be hunky-dory if you just follow the gluten-free diet." She went on to say that "It gets kind of old being thought of as the silly, overprotective mom."
Neurological researchers have long known about a correlation between a variety of neurological ailments and gluten sensitivity, with or without celiac disease (3). We also know that neurological symptoms are commonly found among more than half of patients with celiac disease (4). Also, despite modern diagnostic protocols and technology, we are still seeing some overlap between celiac disease and both amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (5) and multiple sclerosis (6) as well as other neurological illnesses. For instance, the increased presence of the gene named Parkinson's disease 7 (PARK7) has been found in the duodenal mucosa of untreated children with celiac disease and may be implicated in the alteration of the permeability of their intestinal barriers (7). This further suggests an important link between gluten sensitivity and Parkinson's disease. This gene may predispose to the appearance of this most distressing disease later in life.
Many people with celiac disease continue to experience neurological symptoms, despite compliance with a gluten-free diet. This may suggest that the neurodegenerative dynamics, once initiated by gluten ingestion, may continue, either in the absence of gluten or in response to trace amounts of gluten (10). I also started to wonder if the cellular and immune system clean-up processes that follow brain injuries might initiate some of the same damaging autoimmune processes in the brain? They might also occur in response to other dietary factors which may trigger autoimmune dynamics that mimic reactions to gluten, or maybe there is some other, unknown factor that triggers the brain damage.
One research group on the leading edge of the investigation of gluten sensitivity in relation to neurological illnesses reports that, "Incomplete elimination of gluten from the diet may be enough to abolish gastrointestinal symptoms with recovery of the small bowel mucosa but is insufficient to arrest the state of heightened immunological responsiveness resulting in neuronal injury" (10). So, when it comes to even tiny amounts of gluten, they may be enough to perpetuate gluten induced neurological illnesses. There may also an agent in the environment that is causing a cross reaction. This area really needs more investigation, as baby boomers threaten alarmingly increased rates of all forms of dementia.
We already know that people with celiac disease are at much greater risk of developing neurological diseases than the general population (13). These ailments range from headaches to learning disabilities to movement disorders to tic disorders, to seizures, to sensory disorders (4) and many who have non-celiac gluten sensitivity also experience a high rate of neurological disease (3). Does that also mean that young athletes with celiac disease will take longer to recover from head injuries?
Does it also mean, given the slow acceptance of gluten as a factor in many common neurological illnesses (11) that people like my former high school flame will never be told about the neuro-protective benefits of a gluten-free diet or a ketogenic diet? Surely, resistance to the well established data showing neurological manifestations of gluten sensitivity as a scientific fact (12) is more emotional than rational. A gluten-free diet and/or a ketogenic diet should be offered to those people regardless of whether their neurologist is either resistant to, or not staying current with, his/her professional literature. But they cannot offer what they do not know or have developed some bias against. Dr. David Perlmutter has done an excellent job of getting the word out to the general public, with his recent book titled Grain Brain, but there is much more work to do.
People who are gluten sensitive, and are therefore at greater risk of developing neurological disease, might be well advised to look carefully at the benefits of a high fat, ketogenic diet, and the benefits of supplementing with medium chain triglycerides and Omega 3 fatty acids (14). Equally, they might be well advised to avoid the pro-inflammatory omega 6 and omega 9 fatty acids, as well as limiting the amounts of polyunsaturated fats they eat, which are also pro-inflammatory 14). I find that I feel my best when I am in mild, diet-induced ketosis (about 15 mg/dl as measured in morning urine, with Ketostix, which are inexpensive and available at most drug stores). There are a number of good books that explore the fine points of a high fat, ketogenic diet. These include The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living by Volek and Phinney, The Ketogenic Diet by Lyle McDonald, and many others.
Finally, when considering a gluten-free diet for neurological ailments, it is important to recognize that 20 parts per million may be far too much gluten to consume. The maximum threshold to qualify as gluten-free under the United Nations Codex Alimentarius Commission and many other regulatory agencies, including the FDA, is 20 parts per million. Without further research, especially in the field of neurology and gluten sensitivity, we will never know what, if any, levels of gluten are safe to consume.
Regardless of the nature of your neurological ailment, whether it is Parkinson's disease, or seizures, or multiple sclerosis, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or brain cancer, or almost any other kind of cancer (15), or even if you are just slow recovering from a neurological injury, the positive results of dietary interventions might offer you a whole new lease on life.

As co-author of "Dangerous Grains" and "Cereal Killers", the study of the impact of gluten continues to be a driving passion in my life. I am fascinated by the way that gluten induces illness and impedes learning while it alters mood, behavior, and a host of other facets of our existence. Sure, the impact of gluten on health is an important issue, but that is only the most obvious area of impact. Mood disturbances, learning disabilities, and the loss of quality of life due to psychiatric and neurological illness are even more tragic than the plethora of physical ailments that are caused or worsened by gluten. The further I go down this rabbit hole, the more I realize that grains are a good food for ruminants - not people. I am a retired school teacher. Over the last decade, I have done some college and university level teaching, but the bulk of my teaching career was spent working with high school students.

The author of this article has insight , but fails to mention the mutation on chromosome 1 called MTHFR, which is likely probable here. Also the features you have from teen years, are possibly indicative of EDS (larger eyes, smaller nose- a bit pinched and small mouth. Do you have joint hyper mobility? What is your B12 level? We have gone down the road, so I'm sharing. Celiac is also on the Steroidogenic Pathways (as something gone wrong) that methylation can turn "off" if improved. Poor methylation happens with the MTHFR mutation and there are two variants to test that seem the most common and bothersome in the system. 23 and Me genetic testing was a one stop shop for us and we learned a lot and solved bigger parts of a three year puzzle for my daughter.

I have Celiac disease, but I also have to avoid Nightshades. Three potato chips and my brain starts to react. Potato starch is frequently used in a lot of gluten free products. If you or anyone you know is having brain related issues please have them try eliminating Nightshades. Potatoes, peppers, and tomatoes are all Nightshades. It does make a huge difference.

I happen to have kidney damage secondary to coeliac, (my daughter has joint damage secondary to coeliac.) I do wonder, if, having made gluten antibodies that also attack my kidneys - the presence of my kidneys is enough to keep the antibody load up. i.e., You would no longer need a further trigger with gluten. If correct, this would account for other tissue damage to keep going, once it has been triggered.

I think we have a lot to learn yet about Celiac Disease. I have developed spasmodic non-kinesigenic dyskinesia, a movement disorder and I have adhered to a strict gluten-free diet for the past 15 years, but spent 20 trying to get a diagnosis. . Did not know about night shades and I love all three. rnInterestingly, one gene for the dyskinesia actually overlaps the Celiac gene. This is something to look into. There is a thing in genetics called epigenetics, where DNA anywhere in your genome affects the expression of other genes. This includes "junk DNA". Maybe this is a mechanism for the diversity of non-GI symptoms we are discovering related to Celiac.

I just added a major purchase account to my card. 1500$ for a bed frame and bed set. Man I love macy's finally a card that grows with you.
They did pull a report, because I had a fraud alert on file so any major changes to the account result in a hard pull.
Worth it for more purchasing power, and i got 0% for 6 months! gonna pay it off in that time, and its there to use if I ever want to in the future.
Going to pick out the bed after work today!

Those are tricky. They may cost you a hard (it doesn't always), it reports as a separate TL and they may close it once you've paid off the purchase. (Yes, I have heard of that being done.) The big +++ with the major purchase account is the 0% APR for however long they give it to you for. Macy's is the best!
Let us know what type account it is (that is a two digit account type designator) and how it reports.
(Last time I had an open major purchase account with them was 30 years ago! I bought wall to wall carpeting for my first apartment. That carpeting was still there and good shape when I left 27 years after it was laid!)
I opened mine five months ago---$600 limit. Only used it twice (small purchases).
Just pulled TU to see if my mortgage had posted and had to do a double take! They increased my limit to $2,000!
I thought you had to really use it to get increases??
Hooters gave me a $400 increase last month that I didn't ask for. Thing is; my balances are up quite a bit compared to my usual one or two cards reporting under 9%.
They coded it as a type 36 account.
So now I have a type 20 (regular card)
and a type 36 (major purchase account)
They better not close it, i'd be mad.
I dont know who they pulled or weather or not it was a soft or hard.
Who do they normally pull for people in NV?
