ExperienceI have taught math at all grade levels to children, teenagers, and adults. My teaching includes math SAT, GED and entrance exam preparation. I like children and have a therapeutic personality. So I have very good rapport with most of my students. I am an able and articulate mathematician (GRE Verbal – 740, Math 710). And I'm good at explaining things in a way that students at different levels and of different abilities can understand.
My advanced training in psychology gives me insight into the anxiety and lack of self-confidence that often cause poor performance in math. I use a variety of techniques to help my students overcome these problems.
My career as a math tutor and teacher spans 20 years. During this period, I have taught in public and private schools and have tutored many students, with exceptional results. My students' math grades go up. With my tutoring, most failing students become passing students and many continue doing well in math without a tutor.
I am available for in-home tutoring in Brooklyn, Staten Island, Queens, and Manhattan - and online tutoring anywhere.

text: Just wondering what you guys charge for putting a new lawn in with seed when there already is an existing lawn(how much $$$ per sq. ft. or sq. yd.) These are the steps I plan on taking: #1 Applying Roundup #2 Tilling #3 Leveling #4 Seeding #5 Applying starter fertilizer #6 Applying straw #7 Watering in I've already done a search and coudn't exactly get the answer I was looking for, if I was I putting down sod with this kind of prep work I'd charge $1.00 a sq. ft. so how much should I charge per sq. ft. for applying seed instead of sod? Thanks for any help!!!

According to Suzie Canales of Citizens for Environmental Justice, contamination from certain oil refineries is contaminating the groundwater and even the air in nearby homes, making residents sick. However, KRISTY.com is reporting that compared to a 2006 map, a recent report showing a map dated in 2009 shows increased pollution. TCEQ officials claim that the higher levels are good because it shows that wells surrounding the refineries are catching the pollutants. Ms. Canales does not buy that excuse and plans to work with the EPA to come up with a plan to hold the refineries accountable.
The refineries involved include Citgo, Flint Hills and Valero. We previously blogged that Citgo plead guilty in failing to maintain storm water tanks and adequate storm water storage capacity at its Sulphur, Louisiana refinery. They were filed $13 Million dollars, which was the largest fine ever for a criminal misdemeanor of the Clean Water Act.

Tutorial level: basic HTML and CSS
The web environment is constantly changing. Your success depends on the speed with which you manage to adapt and adjust your website to all these continuous changes. The customization process is heavily backed up by the theme settings but sometimes you may need to change parts of the site for which there's no predefined optvion. This is not a hard task, it just requires some basic knowledge on how HTML and CSS work. In the following tutorial we'll show you how to create custom code combining HTML tags with CSS attributes to shape your website.
Every browser comes with a handy tool called Web Inspector which can help you get a better grasp of the code behind any website. To better understand how it works please go through Chrome's Developers Tools Overview.
In this tutorial we'll focus on understanding the page's HTML structure using Chrome's developer tools (Inspector) and on finding specific CSS classes. We will show you how to identify the HTML snippet for page elements and how to change it's style.
In the following example we will demonstrate how to find and target a specific theme module within a block and change its basic designs.
Let's say we want to change the color of the post titles inside a content block. First identify the part of the site you want to edit, then right-click on it and select the 'Inspect' option:
The developer tools section will appear on screen. In most cases, the first selection may not be very precise and you'll probably not 'inspect' the desired element because of the website's complex HTML structures which is based on different containers stacked one on top of the other.
Now you'll need to select and open every container until you find to the one you are looking for. The Visual Selector will be very useful in this matter.
The Visual Selector steps:
- Click on the Visual Selector icon in the left side of the Inspector tool.
- Select the element you want to edit.
- Find the proper HTML class.
- Identify the CSS selector used to style the element.
The post titles themselves are HTML headings so we will have to open the containers to find the heading tag. Once you identify the element, you will see it's CSS styling in the right side of the Developer Tools area. You will see a live visual representation for each change you make in the element settings.
Let's change the title color. For this step you will need basic knowledge of CSS selectors. The H3 tag of the post title has a class called td-module-title. We can use it in our code and target the anchor tag:
.td-module-title a {
This will apply to each element that has this structure. To increase your selector's specificity you'll need to add more classes from the containers above the title.
.td_module_6 .td-module-title a {
Now the code will be applied only to the titles from a Module 6, but this will affect every place where a Module 6 is used and again we need to be more specific to grab a few more classes from the containers above.
.td_block_1 .td_module_6 .td-module-title a {
Now the color will apply only to a Block 1 that has a Module 6 with a module title and an anchor tag. If you want to be even more specific than this you can add an extra class to the row in the page builder.
The CSS language needs precise directions to know where exactly to apply the changes you want. It can be a bit confusing at first, but once you manage to understand it's structure, you'll have the knowledge to make really awesome customization to your theme. Read more about Specificity .
Now that you are happy with the results, you can add the snippet in the designated custom code area of the Theme Panel. The Newspaper theme will automatically apply it.
Use the techniques presented in this tutorial to discover how the websites you love are build and have fun customizing your own!

Bancroft had formed a large collection of source materials on the history of the American West and decided to write the definitive work on the subject. He employed assistants to prepare statements of the facts for large sections of the proposed history. Originally, he intended to use these statements as the basis of a narrative from his own hand, but as the work progressed he came to use them with slight changes. We have his own word that the assistants were capable investigators and there is independent evidence to show that some of them deserved his confidence. Bancroft considered himself the author of the series. According to Howes: "Colossal co-operative undertaking; nothing approaching it has ever been attempted in this country"

The 2,300 acre complex which also houses a hotel, shopping centre, golf course and other sports facilities cost around £50m to construct and was built in just 14 months, holding its first Grand Prix in April 1999 and setting the standard for race circuits worldwide. With four slow corners following two long straights and ten medium to high-speed corners, the wide track is particularly favourable to overtaking manoeuvres and plenty of open throttle. One of the longest laps in MotoGP is made all the more gruelling for riders by intense heat and humidity. Sepang is located around 50km south of Kuala Lumpur city.

That's what I thought. I had intended to scrap it anyway.
I don't think the whole thing should be scrapped.
Even a small scene involving placing a Grave for Tabitha would be nice.

My opinion on this is that maybe you should write a monologue for Robbie, after telling everyone he wants to be alone for a while or whatevs, you know, Milla? You're good with Robbie, so make it good if you'd like ^_^

Here's the little scene when Namor talks to Robbie at the Party event.
I didn't deem it worth putting in Google Drive because it's so short.
Prince Namor: "Hey Robbie, are you enjoying the party?"
Robbie: "It's... Okay I guess... I can't say I like how crowded it is and I don't like this suit..."
Prince Namor: "Why not wear something else if you don't like the suit?"
Robbie: "This is a formal event and I have nothing else, it was either this suit or not going."
Prince Namor: "Stuck between a rock and a hard place huh?"
Robbie: "In addition to the suit being really uncomfortable, these pants have no hole in them for my tail, so they're not very comfortable either."
Prince Namor: "Why not cut a hole in them?"
Robbie: "I thought about it, but I didn't have anything to cut it with."
Prince thinks to himself for a moment.
Prince Namor: "Turn around for a minute."
Robbie: "Huh? Uhh... Okay..." *Robbie obeys and turns his back to Namor*
Prince crouches down behind Robbie and takes out his knife.
Robbie: "What are you-"
Prince Namor: "Move your tail for me."
Robbie did as instructed.
Prince Namor: "Alright, just hold still for a second and..."
Namor cut a hole in the rear of Robbie's pants, around where his Tail was.
Prince Namor: "Done!" *Namor puts his knife away and stands up then steps back from Robbie*
Robbie's tail pops through the hole than Namor had cut.
Robbie: "T-Thanks..."
Prince Namor: "No problem, just try to enjoy the party."
*scene ends*

Here are the promised formal costume alternatives:
-Prince: This (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/de/BLW_Man%27s_Court_Coat_and_Waistcoat.jpg), white suit pants, black boots and black gloves.
-Celesta: A black, open-back dress with a rose above the left breast, silver high-heels with green jewels, black elbow gloves with rose petals covering the wrists and this hat (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=48852376).
Jordan: A black frock coat, black suit pants, a white glove on his right hand, white boots and a left side cape (think Ezio from Assassin's Creed) with the Reverant flag as its pattern.
Anise: A white Chinese dress with gold markings, white elbow gloves, white high-heels and a few jewels in the front and back of the dress.
Robbie: A white tuxedo with a black bow-tie, black gloves and black boots. He later gets a hole for his tail to pop out.
Skylar: A black ball gown with black detached sleeves, black high-heels with gold markings and this hat (http://www.dhresource.com/albu_488578981_00-1.200x200/women-dress-hat-satin-dress-hat-fashion-dress.jpg)
Cole: A white buttoned shirt, a black unbuttoned blazer, black suit pants, black boots and a black tie.
Elaine: A dark blue pea coat with a white fur neck, black suit pants and white boots.
Zien: A chesterfield coat, white gloves, black suit pants and black boots.
As for the long overdue results:
-The Engath-Reverant war: Takes place between an unspecified part (I suggest early act 2) and ends halfway through act 3. It will be touched upon in the main story, and heavily explored in sidequests and sub-events focusing on the horrors of war and the party's reactions and ways to cope with that.
Conflicts of the day will be posted tomorrow.

Frozen_Blades81 3 years ago#117
Heheh, glad you like them.
I actually assumed the opposite, that she would prefer more masculine clothes. I can come up with something if you want, maybe a bouffant gown...
Conflicts of the day:
-Costumes (we're already on that train anyway): We will deal both with costume ideas (you can also tie these to sidequests or leave them here to be tied later), and the workings of the costumes themselves (should they be tied to titles? Should they work like in Xillia/Graces? Should hairstyles and certain parts be tied to the costume or available as hairstyles and attachments, respectively? Also, should we have attachments?).
-Should we have an air vessel? If so, what should it be? An airship (FF style)? A shuttle (Abyss/Graces style)? Or something else? How would the party obtain it? Should it be magitech-based or Rezonant-based?
Personal opinions:
-Costumes: They should work exactly like in Xillia. Attachments should be present as well, but there should be more slots (I'd say, 3 head slots and 6 body slots. They could also be infinite for total customization freedom).
-flight: We should have one. I'm leaning more towards an airship that's fully explorable (or at least the deck, I like midair ship decks).

Hey, nice, Frozen. I picture Cole bein' super casual even when "dressed up"; his tie bein' loose and his shirt bein' untucked.
And no worries, Paundit.
I agree that costumes and titles should be separate things. If titles are badass like Symphonia and give stats n' s***, you shouldn't be locked outta usin' 'em if you wanna wear costumes.
As for the airship... Yeah. Big time. I also second the notion that it should be fully explorable.
Oh, and Submariner... Don't let Milla scare you, dude. If you wanna write somethin', please feel free. You've proven yourself talented in the past, and I for one am pretty f*****' stoked to see what you can do.

LightOfJudgment 3 years ago#119
It's less of a matter of talent and more of a matter of redundancy. The kind of thing I originally had planned seems to already be planned by the character's creator, so I'm simply deferring it to the one best fit to do the job.
Are you finished, or will we continue to be subject to your insufferable logorrhea?
A Prince with no kingdom.
Zombies_Online 3 years ago#120
Guh... I'm gonna beat you up so bad! Holdin' back on me, not lettin' me see your goods. Just whip it out, man! I wanna see your stuff.
Oh, yeah, Frozen. Frieza. FREEZY POP. I was thinkin', and while I totally like your ideas for formal clothes, it just hit me that Cole's a bit of a peacock. There's a reason his regular duds are an obnoxious f*****' yellow color. So while the design itself is totally on point, simple black and white might be too tame for him. He's more likely to wear somethin' super loud and tacky just to stand out.

Economics of Defense in a Globalized World
In a world continuously beset by conflict and violence, the positive study of international security and defense has developed rapidly over the past decade as a cohesive discipline within economics. Part of the cause for this trend is the revolutionary effects of globalization and its new challenges to world security and stability. The challenges to security now come from new sources; they threaten new dangers, and require new instruments and concepts from us. The field of play for defense economics has thus greatly increased, but the opportunity to exploit new insights from throughout economics grown accordingly. This essay aspires to show how the recent developments in models of international political economy relate to study of this phenomenal evolution of the world's strategic situation and challenges to its safety. Here I give one perspective on the contributions expected of defense economics in a globalized world where old patterns of thinking risk obsolescence. Emphasis is focused on (a) how the field is changing, and the relation between new security challenges and required new analytic approaches, (b) how developing ideas about conflict, predation and governance have entered into and greatly influenced defense economics, and (c) how this raises questions over what should be retained from study of earlier eras and what discarded.

April 1, that's a date I tend to dread. All the not funny jokes and pranks coming my way, and pressure of having to come up with something myself? Grumpy old man, you may say (and okay, you might be right). But a few of this year's efforts did put a smile on my face.
Google leads the way with different divisions from various countries coming up with some crazy ideas. PacMan mode in Google Maps has been around for a few years now on April Fool's and in 2017 we have Google Assistant telling dad jokes upon your request.
Haptic Helpers are here to here to bring you to your senses. Or, rather, to complete the VR/AR experience that's all about sight and sound, but is severely lacking in taste, touch, and smell immersion (could it be for the better?).
Google Japan has been inventing half-serious (or a quarter, maybe?) input methods for this day for a few years now and the latest one involves bubble wrap, taking the punched tape of old to the next level.
Make sure you watch the old ones too: the party blower from 2015, and the Flick keyboard from 2016.
Meanwhile, Google Netherlands has found a way to bring sun to the country that otherwise gets 145 days of rain in a year.
And then, there's Google Gnome, Google Home's sidekick for the back yard. Do bear in mind that the dog might render the Gnome inoperable.
Pets and smart home assistants – Amazon's got another take. Meet Petlexa.
I also cracked a smile at T-Mobile's OneSie, and after a long work week, I could use a can of OnePlus' Dash. Of course, shared with a BFF, the Honor BFF.
Happy April Fool's Day, everyone!

Fresh flakes falling on the houses, trees, and mountains create a quiet that is broken only by the implied crunch of travelers' footsteps in the snow. This scene is almost entirely imaginary; it rarely snows in the Kanbara area, in present-day Shizuoka Prefecture.

We're to be content to work together with one another. Some work with children, some with literature. Others hold crusades. We all have our place as a part of God's process.
One night I
was driving back from speaking in
a church in the
"Thank you for stopping, our jack doesn't work," said the man. "No one would stop to help."
While I used my jack he asked where I was coming from.
"I just finished speaking at a church," I replied.
"Oh, you're a man of God."
"What do you mean?"
"You're a man of God. I should have known it."
He told me the young woman he was with had been telling him about Jesus all evening. He'd been mocking her. Just before I arrived she had prayed that God would send someone to help them.
"Who should come along but a man of God," he concluded.
While we finished tightening the lugs on the spare tire, I told him that everything she was telling him was true and that he should listen to her. I drove away wishing I could listen in on their conversation.
What a thrill to know that we are fellow laborers. God sends others along to help with the process of leading others to Christ.

We need to share our family heritage with our children. Misha and Matthew love to hear things from when Mom and Dad were kids. We have a unique little book of drawings of escapades from Floyd's childhood that we love to share with guests in our home. Our children also like to hear stories from our early days in Youth With A Mission. Stories of how God "healed" a leaky air mattress, saved a criminal and multiplied our mosquito repellent never grow old!

Ahmad planned to tear up the second tract, but decided to give it a quick reading. His curiosity deepened and he decided to visit the young people who gave it to him.
During several visits Ahmad was impressed by the love he saw. One night he had a strange experience. Jesus Christ stood in his room saying, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life."
Ahmad's whole body shook. Though it was early morning, he went immediately to the Christians' house where he readily gave his life to Christ.
When his family was unable to dissuade him from following Jesus they declared him dead. For the next seven years he had no contact with his family. Ahmad continued to pray for them and trusted that someday God would bring reconciliation.
During those years Ahmad studied with Youth With A Mission and joined their mission. He planted a church for Muslims. God gave him a wife and son. Ahmad knew God was blessing him, but he longed for his family to know Christ.
After seven years his family came to visit him. They were reconciled. Later Ahmad and his wife returned to his place of birth. His family gave him a welcoming party attended by over five hundred people. As a result he has enjoyed many opportunities to witness for Christ.
Ahmad's father recently told him, "You have chosen the right path."
December 4
"Mom," he called one night, "remind me to tithe on my car wash money." He had heard what the pastor said last week.
This was a test for me. I wanted to shout, "Hallelujah!" I suppressed the urge. I lifted my head to the heavens and cheered--silently.
Our church members were asked to choose the name of a needy child and buy him a gift for Christmas. Fred chose another 12-year-old.
The next night Fred asked out of the blue, "How much is ten percent of $500?"
"Fifty dollars," I casually replied. "Why?"
"I never did tithe on my savings account. I was thinking of buying that boy a gift out of it."
I almost bogeyed around the room. Instead, I hurriedly donned my poker-face and said, "Well, that's a nice idea. I'm sure he'd appreciate it."
Over the next few days, Fred argued against his plan. I reminded him of the Lord's promises to bless our obedience and our tithes. Since it wasn't my idea, I didn't have to defend it. The decision was clearly his.
The next day Fred learned his bank balance was $374, not $500. He rounded the tithe to an even $40. He bought the boy a $40 gift certificate at a sporting goods store and signed the card, "from one 12-year-old to another."
I added a t-shirt so the boy would have a package to open. With the package under the tree, we left the rest to God.
A week later our church's missions committee chairman delivered Christmas packages for Fred and me. We opened them on Christmas Eve. Mine contained a gift certificate to my favorite store. Both our mouths fell open when he opened his gift. A $40 gift certificate--to a sporting goods store.
Poker-face? Impossible.

At my home church during a visit, I talked to my good friend Norma. We were both divorced. My son had once stayed with her family for a few months. We spent many evenings with the Bible between us, introducing her boyfriend to Jesus. Now, she informed me that Jim was moving in with her the next Sunday.
"Wait a minute." I said half-jokingly. "You're doing this backwards. First you get married, then he moves in."
"He has to be out of his rental," she explained, "and we planned to get married in a few months anyway. There's just no time for a wedding."
"I'm not doing anything Saturday," I said flippantly.
"Saturday! There's no way I could put together a wedding by Saturday."
"I'll keep it open just in case," I hollered over my shoulder as my son dragged me to the car.
On Tuesday she called to ask me to be her maid of honor. Saturday. . I asked what to wear. Since she needed to find a dress herself, she said to wear whatever the Lord told me.
Wear whatever! But we need to plan this. Wedding pictures should be something to be proud of. I still hadn't shaken my eight years in the fashion business. I always match.
Incredibly, Saturday morning Norma was at the mall, shopping for a dress. I prayed again as I slipped on the pink sequined dress I'd managed to locate among my packed away boxes.
Norma arrived breathlessly about , carrying a garment bag over one arm. Inside was a gorgeous wool suit--in the same shade of pink as my sweater dress. On the left shoulder were sequins. Unbelievable. The wedding pictures are fabulous.

Then, one day, I met a beautiful young black man about 18-years-old. He was sweet and kind. He told me he had been a street kid for 14 years. This amazed me because I'd heard that one third of them die before they reach the age of 18! He told me he had become a Christian through the love of some missionaries. For the first time in 14 years he had turned from stealing, fighting and taking drugs. Now he was studying so he could get work. He spent his free time on the streets helping his old friends to know Jesus as well.
As I looked
into his gentle and peaceful
eyes, I thought, That's why I'm here. I knew I would stay in

Part of their culture requires that the king and queen sit behind a wall where they could see us, but we couldn't see them. A talking chief sat with us and did their speaking for them.
The talking chief said, "The king is crying." He explained that the chief was impressed that we had given up our Christmas vacation to share Christ with him and his people.
After our
visit to
The king invited Youth With A Mission to send experts from the University of the Nations to help develop his nation.

When all had assembled at this unusual hour of , one of our base leaders said, "You probably have all noticed there is no hot water this morning. There's no money to pay for the propane to heat the water. We have other unpaid bills as well. Many of us have not paid our staff or student fees. One-by-one various leaders encouraged us to look to God as not only our provider, but also as the One who might ask us to give, even in our time of need.
According to the instructions anyone owing money to the base should stand with the other "debtors." How humiliating, I thought.
Dozens of people hesitantly stood to their feet. Each looked as embarrassed as my husband standing beside me. I was surprised to see highly respected staff people among those standing.
After prayer together I watched in amazement as scores of individuals moved from their places and handed others either money, checks or paper with a written promise of money. Some simply tucked the papers into the pockets of those standing.
I watched and listened with a sense of awe. There were tears of relief and many warm embraces, even squeals of joy.
One-by-one those standing sat down as God sent someone to meet their needs. Some of those standing went to others to give money, even before their owns bills were covered. After about 20 minutes there was no one left standing.
Watching this demonstration of God's people loving one another was one of the most tender mornings of my life.
We later learned that tens of thousands of dollars exchanged hands that day. Enough for fees to be paid. Gas was ordered and other bills were paid.

And then come children. Tiny, poopy, little creatures that demand constant attention. Ah, but what love fills our hearts at first sight of Junior. Our selfish focus on personal rights is swept away the moment those big baby eyes look into ours.
When a baby is born into a family, the parents virtually become its slaves. We clean them, feed them, warm them, protect them and sometimes we do it all night long.
During the years of their early childhood, our major concern is for the physical safety of our children. That is often the focus of our prayer life, but then they reach their teens. The day my oldest son entered junior high school, I knew that my prayer life would have to change. Now I can truly identify with Paul's statement in Galations 4:19. God, our Father, uses the experience of parenting to help us to identify with Him.

Christmastime, to think of our families and desire to be with them.
On top of such thoughts, we think of the people who roam the streets hungry, lonely, tired, afraid, sad, angry and hurt. They don't know about the Christ of Christmas.
A Brazilian couple from our team found him sick, hungry and dirty, living under a viaduct. Burns covered one foot. When Eduardo and Sandra examined it, they found signs of gangrene. With loving care, they washed it and prayed over it, in Jesus' name. For two weeks they came everyday, and it miraculously healed!

Our 40-day
fast was almost over. One morning,
as we were praying as a group at our temporary house in
Scampering to the beach, we began picking up the fish and putting them into large wheelbarrows. As I picked the fish up, my eye caught a short, dark, middle-aged Greek man intently watching from the top of the bank. He looked terrified; his small body shaking, his eyes darting from side to side as he viewed the scene before him.
Later that day, I found out that the owner of our hotel, who had lived there for 25 years, had never seen such an occurrence before. Not only that, but the fish had jumped out only along the beach in front of our place, no where else.
God had provided an overabundance of food for us. 8,301 fish were counted, and expectantly we looked to Him for the necessary finances to finish the repairs on the m/v Anastasis.
December 12
When we
arrived on the
We decided to put God to the test. We wouldn't ask for anything; we wouldn't look for our needs. We would seek only His work, His righteousness. Will He take care of us? we wondered.
In small groups, we went in different directions to witness. When we gathered at the end of day at a prearranged place, we were a strange-looking group. One guy carried a big watermelon, another held loaves of bread. Someone told us that a lady who lived down the road had a big empty house. "She says we can stay there," he said.
All of our needs were met because we shared Jesus first.
December 13
In the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. Isaiah 35:6.
Back at the immigration office in town we received verbal approval to leave, but at the airport it was unacceptable. After retrieving our luggage, we asked the airport manager to refund our airfare. We needed the money for a place to spend the night. He suggested we ask for it at the travel agency in the morning.
Meanwhile, immigration retained our passports. To be without a passport in a foreign country is like being invisible; you cannot even rent a hotel room. He would only give us a torn envelope with handwritten passport numbers, and stamped with his official seal. A hotel clerk accepted it, reluctantly.
The next morning was Saturday. Chuck and I asked at local churches where we might stay. We found hospitality from the bishop at the third church. With no safe drinking water, Chuck was dehydrated by Sunday, so we couldn't attend church. The speaker, however, was an American who invited us to his hotel room for "distilled water on ice."
On Monday, immigration gave us permission to leave, but now we had insufficient funds to fly. We took our only other option, a bus to the border which cost less than flying. There we stayed overnight, walked across the next morning, and took another bus to our destination. God provided food from a new friend along the way.
For some unknown reason, immigration refused us reentry for three more months. At our new location we were unable to work for wages or to receive money from back home. Yet God supplied our needs through the generosity of Christians unknown to us.
The extra blessing of these months was our cool surroundings. The area where we had been was experiencing its hottest months of the year.

For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. 2 Chronicles 16:9.
I found laundry hanging on a line behind a small house. Within two minutes I was clothed in the garb of a country woman--keeping my army boots and rifle as inconspicuous as possible. As I knocked on the door of the house directly across the road, I saw an American soldier perched on a rooftop. Had I been wearing my army apparel, I could have been killed.
With utter hatred in my heart against the "dirty Yankee Imperialists," I went to the house of an old woman.
I shouted at her, "I want to die. There is nothing to live for now that the Americans are here."
"Child," she said, "don't you know you must thank God for saving your life?"
I did thank Him, and repented of my anger.
Four years later, in 1988, I accepted Jesus as my Savior. In 1989 I joined YWAM. During my DTS God took me back, spiritually, through the events of that day in 1983 and showed me His purpose for my life, and for saving me from deception and confusion.
Today I am
one in spirit with my American
brothers and sisters in Christ. I thank God for equipping me with the
of spiritual warfare that are greater than the gun I once held. He is
preparing me to return to

Show the wonder of your great love, you who save by your right hand those who take refuge in you from their foes. Psalm 17:7.
They felt
foolish, but they kept obeying God.
Over the months, things actually got worse. Finally, on
However, the
spark began in
The flame had been lit. The army turned around and fought the secret police with the people, and the brutal reign of Ceausescu was over by Christmas of 1989. The newspapers of the country reported, "The band of fear and terror has been broken." Fear and terror--the same spirit powers God had directed a small group to pray against two years before.
What happened there is proof that such focused praying against principalities and powers breaks their power.
December 16
Have you ever thought you were ministering to someone and discovered you are the one receiving?
A group of
YWAMers in
"Are you Santa Claus?" the boy asked, "I've waited a long time for him."
The clown bent down and whispered in the boy's ear. "No, I'm not, but see me after the show, I can tell you something about him."
He moved on and prayed silently, "Lord, we know this boy is looking for you, but he doesn't know that. May our puppet show help him to understand."
The clown's painted smile belied his deep inner thoughts as the boy's question brought a searching in his own heart. He prayed again, this time for himself.
"Lord, forgive me. Like that little boy, sometimes I look for your gifts, and not You. Come and dwell in me, anew.
"Come, O come Emmanuel."
The boy didn't come after the show, so the clown could not share Jesus with him. But the clown learned much that night, and left with a genuine smile on his face.
December 17
I was born into a middle class Brazilian home. I learned about God's provision from my Christian parents. Because they paid for everything, I never had a chance to see personally God's provision in my own life.
In 1985, I
went to the
I would need $2000 to attend a DTS. My pastor advised me to send my application and pray. Inclement weather kept many people home that Sunday evening. Before the end of the service the pastor called me to the front and asked me to share my testimony. He closed with an offering for me.
A month later, I received an acceptance letter from YWAM. Because I'm Brazilian they offered me a scholarship for half of the tuition.
Immediately I called my pastor to tell him the news. I was dumbfounded to learn the offering that night had come to $2,300. This enabled me to pay the remaining $1,000 tuition and have $1,300 to cover living expenses, outreach and tithe.
I've been able to see God's provision for 100% on God of my needs.
December 18
my mother and I made Christmas
cookies and gave them to neighbors we visited during the holiday
season. Mow my
mother was in
With all the
talk of going home for the
holidays, I began to wonder, Where is
home for me? I knew it was not my father's house where I grew up.
It wasn't
my college dorm where I'd lived for two years before getting married.
My last
connection with "home" was with my mother before she left for
I was praying about this and began to cry. I felt God's presence around me. Then my husband came and put his arms around me.
I asked the Lord, "Where is home?"
"In My arms and sometimes that means your husband's arms, too."
That brought comfort and encouragement. Soon I felt so much better that I got up and made Christmas cookies. I realized that wherever I am, I'm home.
I no longer feel the pain when I think of "home," because the reality is that I only have to whisper His name, "Jesus."
December 19
Although I was
the leader of a team of 15
young people who would spend two weeks witnessing in
I stammered, embarrassed to have to explain our inadequate facilities. "You're the boss. Don't you sleep wherever you want?"
I will never forget the patient, gentle look on Loren's face as he replied, "No, Denny you're the leader of this team. While I am here, I am under your leadership. Where do you want me to sleep?"
I was stunned, but there was no place of "honor" which I could allocate to Loren as his quarters. "Follow me," We single men had set up our quarters on the stage at the front of the theater, and had attempted to wall it off. The area was rather small and each of us had defined our personal "space" by surrounding our sleeping bags with chairs and suitcases.
I was about to offer my carefully defended spot to Loren when I noticed him eyeing the grand piano. Surely he didn't want us to move it! There was nowhere for it to go. Instead, Loren bent down and examined the space available under the piano. With- out thinking, I blurted out, "You can sleep under the piano, if you like." Loren nodded, smiled graciously and said, "That sounds just fine to me."
Even though that incident took place 23 years ago, its impact was so great upon me that I still remember every detail. I was deeply impressed and humbled at the same time. Here was the founder of a successful ministry graciously submitting to my immature leadership.
December 20
As royalty, we are called upon to "do" certain things. Being royal carries with it both opportunity and obligation. We are to make God's laws known. These are His rules and regulations, established for our highest good.
As members of the priesthood, we are to "be" a certain way. We are to show our love for the Lord through praise, worship, adoration, thanksgiving, and intercessory prayer.
A godly nation will have national days of celebration and mourning. It will boast unity, peace, loyalty, a flow of communication, exchanges of ideas, freedom of expression, and freedom of movement.
As citizens of God's Kingdom, we need to be sure that we ourselves promote unity and act as peacemakers. We need to demonstrate loyalty, not just to our local community or national project, but interdenominationally and internationally. We are responsible for personal witnessing, teaching, and distribution of Christian literature. We are accountable to provide for the needy in practical ways. We are to aid in making possibilities for service open to others by our encouragement and financial support.
Malachi tells us that those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard. Today let Him hear us all proclaiming His Word to a waiting world.
December 21
Now, God is teaching me to live according to the reality of my life and accept the truth, even though it is sometimes difficult or painful.
This is what God wants for each person.
When we don't face up to reality, we shut ourselves in with our own fantasies and ideas, which leads to frustration and destruction. It also keeps us from having the life that God intended for us.
God cannot help us if we exist in a fantasy world. He wants us to be strong and courageous. He asks that we trust in Him and His ways. He asks that we be teachable. And He requires that we live in truth.

Once I had lost all that weight, I could wear clothes that I had always wanted to wear and couldn't. I could really be me! Each of us is like a different flower in the Lord's garden--all beautiful, but all different. No two are alike, just as no two snowflakes are alike. Suddenly I could be the flower I had always wanted to be, the one God had created me to be.

Sometimes forgiveness is a process. If we have been deeply hurt, it takes time for the wound to heal. In this case forgiveness acts as a continual cleansing of the wound so that it can heal properly. As we think about a person who has hurt us or sinned against us, feelings of resentment and emotional pain well up. Then we must reaffirm our commitment to forgive them. It is not that the first act of forgiveness is invalid, but that an ongoing process may be necessary until we are completely healed.
I was deeply hurt once by a friend. I could not get over the anger and disappointment I felt every time I thought of him. Another friend advised me that I should tell the Lord I forgave the friend each time these feelings surfaced and say, "Lord, I choose to do this with your love, and I will not give up until you put love in my heart for him. I receive that love by faith."
I prayed that prayer many times a day for months, but nothing seemed to change. Then one day as I prayed, something finally happened--I began to see my friend through new eyes. I saw his wounds and hurts; I saw how he had been hurt by his father, and how he was passing those hurts on to me. The Lord released compassion into my heart for him, something I thought would never happen. The Lord did more than I could ask or think!

We find no

Do I joyfully accept God's calling for me? Am I willing to know fulfillment where He has placed me? If so, I am freed to support and encourage another in his God-given task.

My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. 2 Corinthians 12:9.
The first thing I noticed were his dark brown eyes. They were so soft. His face was radiant, and although I knew nothing about him and was just introduced to him, I walked right over to him, looked into his eyes intently and said, "I love you. I'll tell you one of the reasons I love you. I don't have to ask you one single thing. I see the wheelchair. I see your legs hanging limp, and I see there's not a particle of resentment in your eyes toward God. I don't need to hear your story to know that you have come to terms with God in total rest."
I heard the story that proved the truth of what I had said. The Holy Spirit had given me that instantaneous witness through the shining countenance of that young man.
He told me he had been bitter, he had had questions. But he had come to understand as he had pored over the Word of God, and as he looked into the face of Jesus, that God was "...just in all his ways, and kind in all his doings," just as the Bible says in Psalm 145:17. RSV.
He shared with enthusiasm some of the dynamic purposes that God had started to reveal for his life since he accepted God's sovereignty and received God's miraculous grace. God had shown him that he was to write a book about his life, and this lovely Christian girlfriend was helping him do it.
Physical healing? No. Spiritual, mental and emotional healing? Yes. A manifestation of miraculous grace and powerful purpose.

The Apostle Paul said we've all been given the ministry of reconciliation. The dictionary definition of "reconciliation" is "to make friendly again."
When we pioneered YWAM in
The result
was almost fatal to the young
ministry. Rumors spread among the Body of Christ in
We prayed and encouraged others we knew around the world to pray as well. Then I started contacting pastors and other Christian leaders. In small groups and one-on-one, I learned their goals. I answered their questions about me, about YWAM, our goals. We prayed together.
Meanwhile, our evangelism efforts continued. We served in a variety of situations and developed other ministries.
Gradually the barriers came
down. Friendships developed. News of the reconciliation spread
As a result we had more invitations to minister in the various churches than we had time to accept. We soon averaged 20 services a month in churches, youth groups, and Christian camps.
Evangelism is still the main
emphasis in
Bridges take time to build. There aren't any short cuts.

The truth is
revelation about the purpose and
destiny of the nation has been pouring into
Just like those Australian Christians, we need to put today's battles in their historical context. A study of history can give us clues as to God's purpose for a city, and it can also reveal the point at which evil gained entrance. We are warned about giving a place of entry to the devil.

After 13
years of occupation by the Soviet
Army and civil war,
Yet in the midst of the agony and suffering of her people, God is revealing Himself to the Afghanis in many ways. Christian ministries are working in such varied ways as eye care and rehabilitation projects. Afghanis who accept Christ face extreme persecution, yet many hold strong to the faith.
One young man was hired to serve as night watchman for a Christian ministry. Each morning he watched the workers, singly and in groups, as they prayed and sang to their God. The man was amazed at their consistency, their obvious devotion and the joy in their praises.
Over several months a yearning grew in his heart to learn more about the God these young people served. He questioned them and studied their answers. He also questioned his own Islamic beliefs. After continuing to watch the lives of the Christians and researching both religions the young man made an open confession of faith in Jesus Christ.
Despite persecution he became a radiant witness and influenced many others.

base in the mountains of
"I'm only 16-years-old! I can't speak."
"Sure you can. Just tell them what God wants to do; that they can be a part of it."
I sure was scared. But I couldn't let Dad down. While I was speaking God lit the flame in my heart. During that talk God passed to me the torch of missions from Dad's generation to mine.
December 31
Other sons and daughters of YWAM leaders were there with me: Our generation was putting into action those words of Jesus.
Dad lit the torch, passed it to me and I set off running. I knew as I passed the torch on the flame would be carried to Tel Aviv, put aboard a plane and used to light other flames around the world.
Now, over a half million young people have carried that flame. Why are we involved in the work of our parents. Why have we embraced the call of God to reach our world--our generation for Christ?
We're not riding on the coattails of our parents, or simply copying them. God has touched each of our lives individually. God has said to us, "I have my own vision for you. You're a new generation. You're blessed to stand on your parents' shoulders."
I look now at some of the next generation of YWAMers, my generation. We're reaching a new type of mission field; a twenty-first-century mission field. Misha McClung is working in journalism and the media; Chad Hawkins is studying political science; Gretchen Boyd plans to work in international relations; I'm running a film and television production company.
When our parents began knocking on doors in various countries they were pioneers in their mission field. That is now the norm, but it wasn't then.
Our parents have laid a strong foundation, they've given us a solid background, a solid missions basis. They've exposed us to new spheres of influence.
We haven't broken the legacy, only our pulpit has changed.

I'm back!
Well, not in London. I am spending some time in South of France to deliver lots of good food to your table.
My time in Asia was awesome! I can't wait to explore more of the world. I think the next stop for backpacking will be India.
On my recent trip I visited Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia.
I tried so many foods, it was amazing to see what people eat around the world. Of course you can always find western dishes popping up in the main cities. One thing I won't miss, is the amount of sugar put in foods in Asia. Sugar is added to EVERYTHING. Even fruit juices.
My body is in dire need of a healthy cleanse to get me back to normal.
Ahead of the many dishes I have planned for the next few weeks. This one is a simple side dish or light meal. As you will see, I haven't grown tired of the Asian flavours yet! 😉
- 1 x courgette
- 1 x carrot
- 1 x handful corriander
- 1 tbsp coconut aminos (non paleo can use light soy)
- 1 handful almond flakes
In a bowl, spiralize the carrot and courgette. Add the coconut aminos and then use scissors to chop the coriander.
In a heatproof pan, add the flaked almonds and lightly toast over the heat.
Add to the noodles and mix.
Easy peasy!

It is fortunate that public pressures have cause the Election Offences Act Amendment bills to be withdrawn with probably the size of the participants in BERSIH 3.0 also contributing to the decisions.
Article Gov't withdraws Election Offences Amendment Bill below courtesy of Malaysiakini:
Gov't withdraws Election Offences Amendment Bill
Aidila Razak
4:07PM May 9, 2012
In a rare move, the Election Offences Amendment Bill will be withdrawn from the Dewan Negara tomorrow following "a lot of resistance".
According to Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Nazri Abdul Aziz, the decision to abort the Bill was arrived at today after a 10-minute meeting between the government, the opposition and the Election Commission (EC).
"I will table the motion in the Dewan Negara tomorrow," he told reporters at the Parliament lobby today.
The means that the Election Offences Act remains at status quo for the next general election.
Nazri (left) said the decision was first made at cabinet level as the Senate are seeking two more amendments to the Bill.
The Dewan Rakyat passed the Bill last month but with changes, including holding back the amendment which disallowed political parties from assisting voters to check their names and voting streams.
Another amendment rejected by the Dewan Rakyat was one which allowed the Election Commission to dictate when and how long a candidate's polling and counting agents can stay in the polling stations.
Amendments passed include the proposal to remove the candidate's agents from the Election Commission registration booth (barong) and to remove requirement for all printed materials to have printers and publishers' details.
"Amendments made to the Bill by the Senate would have to go back to the lower house and withdrawing is a neater, better way," he said.
'More public consultation next time'
Nazri added that the EC had agreed to withdraw the Bill in entirety as more amendments made would render it pointless.
He said that the government had only acted as a "postman" in tabling the Bill to Parliament, and did not know the contents of the Bill which was proposed by the EC.
Nazri, who said that the Bill saw resistance from both government and opposition lawmakers, added that the government had tabled the Billin toto as it had respected the EC's independence.
The minister said that the last time something like this happened was three years ago, when a Bill was sent back to the Dewan Rakyat.
"But the Dewan Rakyat did not take it up within three months and it lapsed," he said.
DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang, who was also at the press conference, said the EC should engage in consultation with all stakeholders before proposing a Bill to avoid this happening in the future.
In an immediate response, the EC chairperson Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof (left) denied the withdrawal was a slap in the face for the commission, who mooted the amendments.
"Not really. We had our meeting chaired by Speaker of the Dewan Negara and attended by Nazri and Lim before the press conference.
"We consulted each other and finally all agreed to abort it," he toldMalaysiakini in a text-message.

The critics have not been kind to David Ayer's Suicide Squad, which is unfortunate given what the cast and crew apparently had to deal with while filming. But even if the film itself is a mess, this Lego version of its first trailer, created by Forrest Whaley and Sean Willets, is an absolute delight.
Back in June, I wrote about the weird, horrible things that had happened during the filming of Suicide Squad, mostly due to star Jared Leto and director David Ayer being weirdos. I was certain that I had chronicled all of the madness that was inflicted upon the cast. But I was wrong. So, so wrong.

Everyone talks about the beaches in the Philippines being the best in the world.
So the raw material is there, and so is the location; the Philippines is 2 hours flying from the two biggest economies in the region: China and Japan.

Exotiq were very close to opening in Sri Lanka back in 2003 but civil war put a stop to that.

The increasing prevalence of diabetes has accelerated the search for new drugs derived from natural sources. To define the functional features of two such families of compounds, the flavonols and the ethyl caffeates, we have determined the high-resolution structures of representative inhibitors in complex with human pancreatic alpha-amylase. Myricetin binds at the active site and interacts directly with the catalytic residues despite its bulky planar nature. Notably, it reduces the normal conformational flexibility of the adjacent substrate binding cleft. In contrast, bound ethyl caffeate acts by disordering precisely those polypeptide chain segments that make up the active site binding cleft. It also operates from binding sites far removed from the active site, a property not observed in any other class of human alpha-amylase inhibitor studied to date. Given the current inadequacy of drugs directed at diabetes, the use of optimized flavonols and ethyl caffeates may present an alternative therapeutic route.
