The march through the capitol city of Tunis has two goals. One is to preserve some of the last sets left from the original movie. The other is to draw visitors to a nation where tourism has taken a fast dive.
Buzzfeed reports the Tunisian National Office for Tourism, and a Star Wars fan club are joining forces for the event.
"We did this campaign to take advantage of these sets which are unique in the world, the only sites from the movies remaining," organizers said.
The push really started in March with a video showing C3PO, Darth Vader, Boba Fett, and others dancing through the sets to the music of Pharrell Williams' "Happy."
That video already has nearly two million views and continues to grow. "It created a global buzz which makes us very happy," tourist officials said.
"We will try to keep working on this idea up until the release of the 2015 film."

Submit your questions for Dick Bennettsby Ed Foster on 3rd October 2016
Dick Bennetts will be this month's guest on the Royal Automobile Club Talk Show, and you can ask him your questions.
The West Surrey Racing founder was instrumental in the careers of many, winning five British F3 championships in the 1980s. The roll of honour is impressive, Jonathan Palmer ('81), Ayrton Senna ('83), Mauricio Gugelmin ('85), Mika Häkkinen ('90) and Rubens Barrichelo ('91). Five British Touring Car Championships have followed, and they secured the manufacturers' crown at Brands Hatch last weekend.

Simon Sweetman tries hard to find any merits in the current proposals for taxing non-domiciles.
This week the CIOT asked the movers and shakers of the tax world for a round table discussion of the issues of domicile (they let me go as well). If there were two things that came out of the discussion, they were:
- There is a great absence of hard information
- people's position rather depends on the constituency they represent (the bankers dont entirely share a perspective with the Low Income Tax reform Group).
oh, and
- though we all disagreed with each other, we are united in our contempt for what is on offer. Presumably, though, it will sail through. The Tories can hardly vote against since it was their idea in the first place.
Probably something like 10% of the population...

The Young Leaders program addresses the dilemma of creating a Jewish and democratic state.
Thousands of adults and teenagers from Israel and abroad, including many Birthright participants, have taken part in the program in recent years.
Several components make up the program:
Our staff work with teenagers in local towns and villages to build a cadre of young leaders. Once a week a staff member or volunteer student supported by our staff meets a group of 16-17 year-olds selected by their school to participate in the program. The group discusses culture, religion, politics, identity and other matters, in English, in an open and free environment.
Throughout the year, groups of Jewish youth and adults from Israel and abroad meet the the high school and college students who participate in the program. The conversations are held in English, and touch upon topics including history, religion, culture and current events in the village and its environs. Questions of democracy, equality, social change, responsibility and leadership are also raised. The encounters are facilitated but no topic is off the table, with the one proviso that participants are polite, respectful and listen!
Visiting groups enjoy the opportunity to meet and discuss issues in small groups, and emerge with a new understanding of the complex challenge of developing Israel as a state which is both Jewish and democratic.
We are happy to accept volunteers who are here on their own or in other frameworks, especially during the summer. If you're interested, contact us. Also, please enjoy this essay about Arabs in the Jewish state.
We are always looking to expand this successful model to new groups of students and young people - funds permitting. If you would like to donate, please click here.
Reflections on Young Leaders, January 2009
Marnina Cowan, a student at Brandeis University, spent the fall semester of 2008-9 at the School for Overseas Students at Haifa University. In the context of a course on cultural communication taught by Dr. Ofer Grosbard, she served as a volunteer counselor in our Young Leaders program, meeting weekly with a group of teens in the village Judeida-Makr, near Acco. She has graciously allowed us to circulate excerpts from her summary paper on her experience:
''Goodbyes are never easy…
''As their bus pulled away, one of the students opened the bus window and they all yelled "We love you!" I had tears in my eyes. I wish others could have been there to witness an American Jewish university student crying as she waved goodbye to a group of Arab teenagers. The goodbye was so hard, because I felt as though I was losing a part of myself. It's hard to believe that in just three sessions, during a month and a half, a Jew can get so close to a group of Arab students. What made this goodbye especially hard was that I finally understood that both the students and I were leaving the semester as changed individuals. We found a basis for Arab-Jewish dialogue and most importantly, for friendship. Once I return to America I know that I will continue to keep in touch with my new friends. I have already spoken with many of them through the internet and they continue to tell me how much they already miss me. In our newly created family, identity, religion and beliefs don't matter. All that matters is our friendship.
''I think that my experiences in Makom Bagalil have the potential to serve as a model for Arab-Jewish relations in Israel. Arabs and Jews need to be brought together with the sole purpose of being friends and establishing relationships. Political issues should only be discussed after a trusting relationship has been created. Liliane [Marnina's fellow volunteer] and I were only able to discuss politics with the students after we established a comfortable relationship with them. We showed interest in getting to know the students as individuals and then moved onto their biases and opinions. The students of Jedeida-Makr have taught me the true power of family. I have acquired a better understanding of the meaning of respect and belonging. The students and I exercised mutual respect and listened to each other. The Arab students accepted me, a Jewish girl, into their family even though they are not accepted into general Jewish/Israeli society. Perhaps this shows a high level of maturity among the students—the fact that they are willing to accept someone of 'the other' culture into their community while their willingness to be friends is not necessarily mutual (by most Jews in Israeli society). This model of respect must also be applied to Jews and Arabs in Israel. Children and adults on both sides must somehow break cultural boundaries and find a basis for friendship.
Overall, I think that Makom Bagalil does incredible work….''

Discussion in 'Android Devices' started by Awhauser, Aug 1, 2010.
How do you change the text message alert from that annoying ding chime?
Open text messaging > Hit menu > Settings > Scroll to the bottom and select "Select Ringtone"
how do you add your own ringtones to this list?
Internal memory > media > audio > notifications (create the folder if it's not there) > Place your ringtones there...
You can access it through your phone if you start with "My Files", then "Media", etc.
very cool, thank you.
i also used ringdroid to save the mps and label it a notification - as soon as i did that it showed up in the list.

The Power of Confessions
Norrie, Jane, and Sassy Sullivan come from a rather unconventional family, with their eccentric, laid-back parents and their wealthy and formidable grandmother, whom everyone refers to as Almighty. All six Sullivan children know that it isn't really their parents that they must answer to, but Almighty. So when she informs them on Christmas Day that someone has deeply offended her and she wants a confession, in writing, by New Years Eve, the Sullivan sisters—who have each displeased their grandmother recently—scramble to put their stories to paper in the hopes that Almighty won't cut the entire family off.
Much like her previous novel, How to Say Goodbye in Robot, Natalie Standiford's Confessions of the Sullivan Sisters is such a unique and quirky story whose quick humor and slightly unexpected depth will really appeal to readers. Broken up into three parts, the novel consists of a letter from each sister to Almighty, starting with Norrie, and covers the fall preceding Almighty's demand. Though Jane seems to be the most likely offender due to her antics and sarcasm, Norrie's story has the most heart, and the emotion in it will win readers over quickly. And though Sassy's letter is the shortest, it rounds out the novel nicely and fills in the gaps that her sisters' letters left.
Each letter is full of personality and humor, and Standiford has some great character development as each sister changes over the course of the fall. Even though there are some common events and coinciding dramas, the letters are all fresh and interesting as some events are more important to one sister than the others, and each girl sheds light on a certain aspect of their lives and family–Jane's letter is especially entertaining as she chronicles the history of her family and lists her parents' antics. Standiford is an expert upon building upon little details and mannerisms to create full and interesting characters, and her unique style makes it easy to fall in love with the Sullivan sisters. This is an excellent story about family, expectations, growing up, love, and of course, the power of confessions.
And also, I like this cover! It's very neat and I think it conveys the attitude of the book very nicely!

Dwyer's brother says book is not a 'murder novel'
A brother of Graham Dwyer has hit out at descriptions of his recently-published book as a "murder novel", insisting it is nothing of the sort.
Brendan Dwyer, who along with another brother James, set up their own publishing company to release their novel Cult Fiction last year,
said he is upset that it is now being linked to their notorious brother Graham who was convicted
of the murder of Elaine O'Hara last month.
"No one seems to have read the book. They seem to think it's some sort of murder novel – it's not," he told the Herald.
Brendan and James began writing the science fiction book in January 2013 and self-published it in July of last year.
Brendan said he was unhappy that coverage of their book was now being over-shadowed by the notoriety of their brother Graham.

"You can understand how upset I am," he said, adding: "It's not very fair on the family."
The book is set in Municipal City described as "the only place on earth where you can be anyone.
Anyone from your favourite movies, books, TV shows, comics, video games or any cult media you can imagine. This is not virtual reality this is real."
A synopsis of the book continues: "Tina Lockhart arrives at the City to do exactly that, and is willing to pay any price to get in, willing to take the
Elixir drug she needs just to breathe the air, and willing to kill, and risk being killed, just to survive."
In an interview with the Southern Star, Brendan told how they approached agents after finishing Cult Fiction with a view to getting it published.
"But after spending a while pushing it, we decided to set up our own label, Paused Books," he explained.

Child Labor In Asia
March 7, 1996
Americans and Europeans are demanding protection from Asian exporters who use low-cost labor, sometimes including children, to make products that are competitive in world markets. These campaigns can be effective, as in the lobbying effort against Pakistan's rug-making industry sparked by the death of a 12-year-old former laborer who had spoken out against harsh working conditions.
Although human rights groups concluded that the youth died from an act of random violence, rather than political revenge, the incident focused attention on the use of child labor in Pakistan.
- The level of Pakistan's carpet exports in the last six months of 1995 fell 50 percent compared to a year before, to less than $50 million.
- However, the law of unintended consequences applies: when factories in India, Pakistan or Bangladesh are closed or forced to stop employing children, the children often end up in even worse industrial jobs or laboring on farms.
- The problem is not the opportunities for work created by factories, but a combination of poverty and unequal opportunities due to the feudal effects of the caste system.
Western labor unions are calling for trade restrictions against Asian countries that allow child labor. Others are concerned about the welfare of the children. However, Asian observers suggest that more foreign investment and trade can help subvert the caste system and raise living standards -- allowing families now struggling against malnutrition to send their children to school instead of work.

Know the Lingo
Here at RAR, we're required to use a lot of social-media and marketing terms because, well, that's our job … but we figured some of these may not be familiar to you yet, so we've spelled 'em out here. Sure, you could use your Google-savvy brain and look them up for yourself, but we'd rather tell you how we use them and what they mean to us, in the RAR-verse, rather than what they mean to Webster's.
author profile
The super official personal-investigator-quality document we create to make sure we reflect your interests when we post, informed by the two incredibly detailed quizzes we provide (only one of which is mandatory, if talking about yourself is just too painful to bear). A RAR exclusive!
Taken from the screenwriting term, your RAR bible will consist of everything that matters in your book. You may be internally screaming that everything in your book matters, and we don't disagree! The bible is just a short, convenient way to access plot points, character traits, key items, and all those sorts of things for when we're on the go and need a refresher.
Lucky bugger who gets to write about whatever topic they like and get paid for it. Book bloggers (sometimes referred to as professional readers nowadays) are your key target, and getting them to talk about your book is a big win, since a surprisingly large number of people look to these bloggers for their reading suggestions. (Check out these awesome book blogs: The Indie View, Omnivoracious, Book Riot)
Your brand may never be as big as Coca-Cola™, but that doesn't mean you don't have one. Your brand is the impression people have of you based on all your content and activity as an author, in person and online. The goal is to make your brand not only widespread, but also memorable to the people who come across it. And who knows? Maybe after 125 years your brand will be as recognizable as Coke™! (The Book Designer has some great articles on branding, if you want more info.)
circular file
The trash bin. The garbage can. The waste basket. The place from which things do not return.
contact information
We live in an age when people need to be able to talk to each other instantly at any moment so, you know, this is the data that lets us do that. (Don't worry: "any" and "instantly" only fall into business hours for us because we're not your mother. And we don't share the information with third parties because we're also not the NSA.)
content (web)
Anything and everything created and placed onto the Internet that, if the rumors are right, will never die and will live on forever somewhere in the "cloud"—whatever that is. Don't get the wrong idea, though: if you lose content and want to access it, you won't be able to find it. One of the mysteries of the web.
Any written content intended for a wide audience to read. You're a writer, so chances are you're pretty good with this stuff.
Even though "copy" is defined as above, copywriting tends to refer specifically to writing for promotional purposes—content for newsletters, websites, jacket blurbs, and so on. Because writers have the power to make words mean whatever they want.
digital marketing
The new marketing frontier. Something as immense as the Internet can't exist without sales people finding it and claiming it as their own. But, hey, since they're already doing it, you might as well use the web to create your own marketing schemes, which can consist of email lists, adverts, social-media platforms, etc.
In American Buddhist culture this has become shorthand for expressing respect and gratitude, especially useful when people can't see you bow. With gasshō we acknowledge the smallness of our egos, the vastness of Being, the contributions of others, and ourselves as part of the totality of existence. (Some of us were raised by hippies.)
A glutton for punishment willing to undertake all the brow-wiping work of writing with none of the glory. Or in our case, the person who can momentarily assume your identity and bang out that blog entry so you don't have to.
You know the cool kids in high school that everyone wanted to hang out with? These are those people, but there are more of them, their reach now encompasses everything from fashion to food to books, and they have massive followings. Court the influencers and their acolytes will follow. Such is their power.
jacket copy
Good jacket copy is important. Seriously. We can't overstate this. The cover design and jacket copy are the two most important marketing tools an author has, because people judge books by their covers all the time. If your jacket copy doesn't make a book-browser's fingers literally itch to open the book and start reading, keep trying until it does or hire someone with the knack. (Can also be used as promo copy to get readers to click that "Add to Cart" button on Amazon. Again, important.)
mailing list
This list is comprised of the wonderful, brilliant, loyal, physically and spiritually attractive people with excellent taste who have decided you're noteworthy and thus deserving of a designated piece of their oh-so-precious time. Treat these people well and you'll have a faithful following who are likely to not only give a rat's bum when you share your most exciting news, but also actually buy your books. (Need help managing your mailing list? Check out Mail Chimp, Constant Contact, or Active Campaign.)
This term doesn't have an easy definition, so bear with us here. It generally refers to an image with words on it (or an associated phrase placed either above or below the image). This can encompass everything from pretty images with quotes on them, to poorly rendered drawings or screengrabs with some sort of relatable or funny phrase attached. In the latter example, a common theme is complete disregard for spelling and grammar, which can be painful to the bookish, but it's allowed—nay, encouraged—in cyberspace, so have a heckin good time with it.
An appealingly designed email with relevant pictures and links and info about a business, person, or organization—in this case, you. This is the thing you send to your mailing list (see definition above) regarding where you're at with the being-an-author business. This is the place to write about yourself more personally, and it's also the best place to announce things like giveaways and pre-order or purchase dates for your book—because the group who receives your newsletters is usually the group that's most dedicated to you and your work. (Which makes them the best!—and the most likely to buy your book, wink wink.)
It was your personality, but it's ours now. It's the "you" you want to project to your audience, which may be similar to the hilarious, hair-down you at parties or may be more like the "you" you'd be if you were suddenly elected to office. It's what we use to reflect you and your interests on your social media platforms, where we are writer versions of method actors, and for which we will expect a special Academy Award come awards season.
Your platform is your ability to connect with other people who are interested in what you have to say. Remember when someone would literally stand on a box and shout until they gathered a crowd who would listen to whatever they had to say? Well now that shouter is you, the box is metaphorical, and the people gathering around you are home on their couches instead of in the town square. Much more sanitary. (Jane Friedman has lots of good explanations of platform, and pretty much everything else an author needs to know. Check her out.)
Photos, gifs, videos, drawings, icons, charts, graphs, glyphs … any pictorial elements. Generally used to promote laughter, amazement, envy, shock, awe, delight, and every other emotion except boredom, which is what you get when you only post text.
A short video of yourself talking directly to your audience that is generally posted to YouTube, where you can talk about anything you want. This allows people to see and hear you, and eventually tricks their brains into thinking they have a personal relationship with you, and may cause them to approach you on the street as if you were once in Girl Scouts together. It's a weird and magical thing, and not nearly as scary as it sounds. (The most successful author-vlogger has got to be John Green, of VlogBrothers fame, which sparked the formation of Nerdfighteria and also kept his books on the New York Times Best Sellers list for weeks on end—along with Green's skill at writing for young adult audiences, of course.)

Welcome, skip to the content .
We test a wide range of low and medium voltage electrical equipment such as low voltage switchboards, switchgear, transformers and insulators to name a few. Have a look below for details such as the typical standards, rated voltage and maximum test capacities for that type of equipment...
We test a wide variety of switchboards such as:
As switchboard designs vary a lot, it is essential that sketches of the test item be supplied so that we can determine the extent of testing that is required. Please provide drawings in Adobe PDF or AutoCAD format. (Black & white PDF is our preferred format).
The typical standards include:
We test manufacturer's air circuit breakers(ACB), moulded case circuit breakers(MCCB), fuse switches, disconnectors, automatic transfer switches(ATSE), motor starters and control devices, miniature circuit breakers(MCB), residual current devices(RCB) and residual current operated circuit breakers(RCOB). Frequently manufacturers want to certify a range of equipment, i.e. a frame size. In this case we have to check each model within the frame size to confirm that we have a homogenous series and that there are no construction breaks. Construction breaks introduces additional testing and expense. Typical standards include:
We can test medium voltage switchgear assemblies and circuit breakers, Ring Main Units, Motor starters or combination units, earthing switches and disconnectors.
Type tests up to 24 kV
Transformer Power Efficiency

Holiday Pet Photos Help Fundraising Efforts For Assistance Dogs
Two Kearney businesses join forces to help put a unique fundraising event in focus.
They aren't your typical models, but just as photogenic. The Posh Puppy and Baer Photography hosted a holiday pet photo session on Saturday, all to help raise funds for an organization that adopts and trains shelter dogs to assist people who are deaf or autistic.
For both, it's the satisfaction of knowing they can help somebody in need.
"Personally, anything that has to do with animals I love, that's why I'm in this business," said The Posh Puppy business owner Deb Karabel. "But where you can help people and animals at the same time, you can't kinda beat that."
"I'm happy to use my talents to benefit a great cause like 'Dogs for the Autistic and Dogs for the Deaf'. They definitely do great things," said Bear Photography's Brian Baer. "Pets are a big part of our family, we know how helpful they can be with other people going through difficult times, I'm just glad to be part of this effort."
Close to $300 will be donated to the national fundraising project that's hosted by the B.P.O.E.

Do you have a youngster interested in pursuing the sport of triathlon? Alan Ley of USA Triathlon Life magazine offers these six tips for coaching youth triathletes. Be sure to check out Active.com's kids triathlon directory to find a race near you!
- Seven- to 15-year-olds are not adults. Always put their best interests, healthy, safety and long-term personal development first!
- Teach technique and neuromuscular pattering before anything else.
- Use visuals, demonstrations, video or pictures. Young athletes are very visual and need to "see" what you want done first.
- Keep the technique sessions short.
- Use slow-motion movements and ask the athletes to "feel" the movement.
- Have them shut their eyes and visualize the movements.
- Teach the young athletes one movement at a time and repeat it until they get it right.
Alan Ley formerly served as the USAT coaching education manager and is now the ITU sport development manager. His passion is developing the sport of triathlon and working with young triathletes around the world.
This article originally was published in the spring edition of USA Triathlon Life magazine. USA Triathlon is proud to serve as the national governing body for triathlon--the fastest growing sport in the world - as well as duathlon, aquathlon and winter triathlon in the United States.

A Shortage of Substitute Teachers Causes Big Problems for Schools
Sometimes, making progress in one area leads to new problems in another. The improved unemployment rate may be causing some difficult adjustments for schools, for example, as subs move toward full-time employment in greater numbers.
(Photo Credit: www.audio-luci-store.it/Flickr)
A lack of subs is a big problem for schools. Teachers need to take the occasional day off for one reason or another, just like everyone else — but the consequences of doing so weigh heavily on them. No one knows their students the way they do, and a day off has such a big impact on the little people who count on them for guidance, learning, and assistance. The pressure to maximize every day makes taking any time off very difficult for teachers, but sometimes it's impossible to prevent. The situation is exacerbated when a quality sub isn't available to fill in.
Yahoo New Digest explored the situation in a recent post layering in a few other factors that may be contributing to the problem. Let's look at some of the most probable causes.
Former substitutes are getting full time teaching jobs, or landing positions in other fields, and are therefore unavailable to sub. Similarly, an improved economy could mean that fewer retirees are returning to teach as substitutes as they become less concerned about their finances.
2. Subbing is really difficult.
Substitute teaching is extremely hard. Going into a classroom without the benefit of well honed relationships, (with students, parents, or co-workers), can make for a pretty tough day. And, the pay isn't great. The median pay for a substitute teacher is $11 an hour, which means that subs make less than $100 a day for work that is really quite taxing physically, intellectually, and emotionally. It's understandable that a lot of folks would decide it just isn't worth it.
3. Fewer young people are pursuing careers in education.
Recent college grads used to cover a lot of schools' substitute needs, as young teachers worked to gain experience in the classroom before landing their first big job. But, with fewer young adults pursuing teaching as a career, the pool of candidates for the work is shrinking. The reasons for the decrease are varied, and debatable, but no matter the cause — the problem has had a tremendous impact on schools, and kids.

Newport, RI (PressExposure) October 24, 2009 -- Cosmetic Cosmos, a trusted supplier of high quality cosmetics and skin care, announced today that it has teamed with the Melanoma Foundation of New England to offer free skin cancer screenings at its Newport, Rhode Island retail store. The company has made a pledge to help educate consumers on the dangers and prevention of melanoma and skin cancer in addition to offering mineral foundations with sunscreen as well as other skin care products with sun protection to help customers minimize their exposure to dangerous UVA and UVB rays.
âWhether it is at the beach, park, sporting events or even driving your car, everyone must be aware of what exposure to the sun can do to their skin,,â said Sherry Brice, president, Cosmetic Cosmos. âAs a trusted resource on skin care and beauty, we feel itâs our responsibility to educate consumers about the prevention and diagnosis of skin cancer. We are partnering with the Melanoma Foundation of New England, to offer free skin checks at our Newport, Rhode Island store. We also pledge to educate our customers about skin cancer and how to protect themselves from exposure to damaging UVA and UVB rays.â
Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States with more than one million new cases diagnosed annually. Thatâs more than breast, colon, prostate and lung cancer combined. Because one in five Americans will get skin cancer, basic prevention such as sunscreen and limited exposure to the sun is key to protecting oneself. Cosmetic Cosmos offers a variety of mineral foundations with sunscreen and skin care with sun protection that help block the harmful, cancer causing UV rays. In addition, Cosmetic Cosmos also offers natural bronzers, tinted mineral moisturizers and sunless tanning products that allow customers to get a natural looking tan in the privacy of their home, without any of the risks associated with outdoor tanning.
Cosmetic Cosmos scours the planet for the latest, most advanced skin care and cosmetic products with the goal of offering customers the best products to protect and beautify the body, from head to toe. Based in Newport, Rhode Island, Cosmetic Cosmos offers both menâs and womenâs products, which can be shipped around the world through its online store at http://www.cosmeticcosmos.com. In addition, the Newport, Rhode Island location offers wedding and spa services.

At the 3G World Congress event in Hong Kong, I had the chance to play around with a lot of new handsets, including NEC's very interesting L1 clamshell.
This 11.9mm thin phone is the thinnest 2.5G clamshell phone in the world today, and it gained the most attention of all the devices in NEC's booth this year. It is a triband GSM (900/1800/1900hz) handset with Bluetooth, and should be introduced in Europe soon. It is already available here in Hong Kong.
The battery, unfortunately, is non-removable. But otherwise on the bright side, the camera is a 1.3MP CMOS unit, the external display is OLED, and the main display is a 65K color TFT with 176x220 pixel resolution. The tactile feeling of the keypad is average, but build quality is excellent.

text: Aww f** great. just tried the battery-change out on my M3 who wasn't saving nor starting the module at all. After buying 3 batteries (I'm an idiot for 4-fig numbers) I eventually got the old battery out. And what does it say on the back which you can only read if you remove the battery? "Li-Ion Rechargeable Battery". Now what? Is my M3 broke and the battery is/was fine or it was empty and the M3 couldn't fill it? Is there any sense in replacing the battery? If the M3 tries to charge the battery, I don't know what will happen (GBA exploding?). But if it was able to charge, why didn't charge it the old battery? If the M3 isn't capable of charging (anymore?), and the old battery was empty, is it usueful to replace the battery? So in a hurry: Is the Battery in a M3 normally a rechargeable one? Is the M3 recharging it? If my M3 doesn't start, how often it is a dead battery? How can I easily tell if that battery has any power left? Will the M3 explode if it tries to charge a normal battery? Thanks for help?

Hear what we're listening to, discover new Christian music, and have fun hearing this curated playlist of some of the best of Christian music.
The term "prophetic musician" simply describes a musician who, operating in the spirit of prophecy, testifies of Jesus. Because prophecy is simply the testimony of Jesus, it can be coupled with many different mediums. Preachers preach the testimony of Jesus; teachers teach it. Singers sing the testimony of Jesus; painters paint it. All these mediums can prophesy about who Jesus is and edify the Church.
"[T]he testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." (Rev. 19:10)
The Bible has some amazing accounts of prophetic musicians who cast out demons and won military battles through melodies and songs.
"And so it was, whenever the spirit from God was upon Saul, that David would take a harp and play it with his hand. Then Saul would become refreshed and well, and the distressing spirit would depart from him." (1 Sam. 16:23)
As a musician of 12 years, I know all of the temptations and pitfalls that one may go through as they serve on a worship team. Especially if you're on a solid team that exhibits a lot of skill and sounds really good. Humility, meekness, and godly obedience have to be intentionally sought after in these scenarios or you might find yourself struggling with a big head, even if it's under-the-radar thoughts about how good it sounds rather than how good God is.
So why is it more important to seek godly character than to seek skill or building your sound? And what can you do to develop your character as you grow in skill?
I grew up going to church. Every Sunday I would walk into church with my family, climb the stairs to the balcony, and sing a combination of worship songs with the congregation. Some of the congregation could sing, some couldn't. But still, we sang our songs—waving our flags, clapping our hands (on and off-beat) and tapping our well-meaning, clumsy feet to the strums of the guitar and the beat of the drums. I loved it.
But did you ever wonder why we sing in church? Why do we attempt to reach those unattainable notes with our morning voices? Why do we repeat the words to well-known songs over and over again, week after week?
We just completed our second "Burn Weekend" of continuous worship and prayer for 24 hours — this first weekend in November. We feel the Lord is releasing a unifying work in our region as individuals from many other churches and congregations are participating in the "incense ministry" of continually exalting Jesus through worship, prayer, and works of justice. You can watch some of the archived sets here.
These weekends hold significant impact as night and day prayer actually shifts the spiritual climate and sends "speedy" justice to a region, as Jesus taught in Luke 18. At our first Burn Weekend two young adults got saved within the first 3 hours! As the Lord builds His house we are praying for an increase in the "water level" of the Spirit!
We just recently finished 24 hours of non-stop worship this weekend at the missions base. It was incredible. Nine different worship teams from local churches and ministries ministered to the Lord Friday and Saturday as we offered Jesus a 24-hour offering of adoration.
"'After this I will return and will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down; I will rebuild its ruins, and I will set it up…"-Acts 15:16
In Rev. 4-5 we see a glimpse of what happens in Heaven. In the throne-room where God dwells, angels, creatures and elders sing incessantly, "holy, holy, holy is the Lord God almighty" forever.
Beyond the general affirmations of God's desire to bring Heaven and earth together (Eph 1:10, Col 1:19, Matt 6:10, Luke 11:2-3), God makes it explicit that He desires earthly worship to mimic heavenly worship. In Exodus 24-25 God meets with Moses on Mount Sinai and commissions him to build a temple according to what he saw (Exodus 25:8-9). This as an earthly replica to a heavenly reality (I Chronicles 28:19).
This weekend we were pleased to have Justin Rizzo from IHOP-KC minister with us to a group of around 200 people. This is a short recap of some of the key moments of the weekend.
On Friday night Justin spoke on the biblical foundations of night and day prayer and the primary purpose of constant worship and prayer being worldwide exaltation of Jesus. He stated that the reason to have night and day prayer in a city isn't just because it's 'cool' or a neat fad to jump on, but it is because Jesus is completely worthy of constant adoration, as found in Heaven at this moment (Rev. 5:8.) We must have a model of replication of the 24/7 adoration and worship of Jesus in Heaven here on the earth (Matt 6:10.) We are to pray and worship 24/7 simply because Jesus is worthy.

Unanswered: Access 2003: Report with different photo for each record
I have a database of DVDs and Blu-Rays. The database tracks the disc format, the movie title, the distributor the film rating, the genre, the disc UPC, the purchase date, purchase location, etc.
The Format, Distributor, Film Rating, Genre and Purchase Store fields are look-up fields drawing from separate titles. The main table, "DVD/Blu-Ray Inventory" has an "ImagePath" field that contains the file location of cover art for each record.
I created a report, also named "DVD/Blu-Ray Inventory", that draws from the "DVD/Blu-Ray Inventory" table. All of the fields work fine for text, but I created an image control (named "ImageFrame") for the cover art. In Access 2007, I'd just set the ControlSource for the image to the ImagePath field but there isn't a ControlSource option for images in Access 2007.
To get around this, I tried the following "On Format" event procedure for the Detail section where the image control is located:
Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer) Me![ImageFrame].Picture = Me![ImagePath] End Sub
Microsoft Office Access can't find the macro 'Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
The macro (or its macrogroup) doesn't exist, or the macro is new but hasn't been saved.
Note that when you enter the macrogroupname.macroname syntax in an argument, you must specify the name the macro's macro group was last saved under.
Any help anybody can provide would be greatly appreciated.
