"He found him in a desert land and in the wasteland, a howling wilderness; He encircled him, He instructed him, He kept him as the apple of His eye. As an eagle stirs up its nest, hovers over its young, spreading out its wings, taking them up, carrying them on its wings, so the Lord alone led him." Deuteronomy 32:10-39 (NKJV)
Not long ago, I walked through what I call a long "winter" season. For six years straight, family members and others we loved died from cancer, suicide and other tragedies. But we were not alone in our loss, for several close friends also lost loved ones and came to our home one by one to cry. Meanwhile, my best friends who had encouraged me and ministered together with me for many years moved away and changed. Some broke promises and fell into lies and attacks. Others fell to mental illness, sin, divorce. Some even left the faith.
Trials change us, whether for good or for bad.
I could share with you the other tragedies that occurred during those years, but I think you get the point. "Harsh" doesn't even begin to describe that long winter.
Stripped bare of so many people close to me that I had leaned on and loved for so many years, I found myself in a lonely place a bit like a cold wasteland. But the Lord reminded me that He too was betrayed, He too lost those closest to Him, and He too knows what it's like to suffer alone.
And yet, I wasn't alone. For He was with me. He hand-fed me from His Word, and His voice and His touch warmed me to the core. He spoke truth into my pain and set me free from things I would never have known I was captive to without a barren wilderness to bring them out into the open.
I wouldn't wish what we went through on anyone, but I can tell you without a doubt that the eternal rewards of drawing nearer to Christ and becoming one with Him have far outweighed the trials. 2 Corinthians 4:7-18.
If you're going through a hard time now, know that you're not alone. Not only are others around you also going through hard times, but the One Who carries you is with you.
Don't waste this trial. If you rely on your own strength to make it through, the difficulties may indeed change you, but not for the good. Let the One who will never leave you or forsake you transform the hard things (including your heart) into beautiful things.
Then your winter will pass, and "spring" will surely come. Song of Songs 2:10-14.
"But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. … Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all." 2 Corinthians 4:7, 6-17
Consider giving the gifts this Christmas that could make a difference in the lives of those you care about!

I had a bracelet exactly the same as this for 15 years and unfortunately lost it coming up to Christmas. So to find this bracelet on here was amazing! The links are a little smaller then my original one but it is just as beautiful! The design holds a sentimental meaning to me and I'm in love with it! I read a few reviews saying the design is too simple, I think it's great and holds up 3year olds pulling at it on a daily basis!
This is a lovely bracelet, was very surprised saying how cheap it was. Bought this bracelet for myself but would make a nice gift.
Love this bracelet, been wearing it for months, would definitely recommend due to it's style and elegance.
This is gorgeous! What a bargain. Looks great on its own or with other bangles, comfy,shows off tanned arms beautifully.
Bought 4 for my granddaughters, they will love them delicate but pretty
I love this bangle so simple but very elegant, it can go with anything and go anywhere. fantastic value delivered on time and well packaged

Clothes, toys needed for Iran
December 30, 2003
Donations of clothing and toys for survivors of the Iran earthquake are being collected at New Idea Dry Cleaning and Laundry, 2605 10th St., Greeley.
The business will clean all donations in preparation for the trip to Iran. The owner of the business, David Barghelame, hopes to take the items with him when he travels to the country in two weeks. If airlines will not let Barghelame take the items, he'll give them to the American Red Cross to deliver. He also will accept monetary donations.
The death toll from the quake in the Middle Eastern country is estimated at 28,000.

A laboratory experiment examined the effects of time pressure on the process and outcome of integrative bargaining. Time pressure was operationalized in terms of the amount of time available to negotiate. As hypothesized, high time pressure produced nonagreements and poor negotiation outcomes only when negotiators adopted an individualistic orientation; when negotiators adopted a cooperative orientation, they achieved high outcomes regardless of time pressure. In combination with an individualistic orientation, time pressure produced greater competitiveness, firm negotiator aspirations, and reduced information exchange. In combination with a cooperative orientation, time pressure produced greater cooperativeness and lower negotiator aspirations. The main findings were seen as consistent with Pruitt's strategic-choice model of negotiation.

Some years ago I went and made this card image which represents a certain point in time during 2010 that involved a friendship which I very much enjoyed. Later on I made this piece as a reminder to myself of that point in time, and though very simple, the piece is also very symbolic. The green rose and small pearl are symbols of name meanings and name parts. The Pearl represents me, the green rose my friend.
The style of this kind of reminds me of a French menu for some sort of fancy restaurant. I remember making this to relieve pressure from myself. In fact, I did this art piece when I was feeling angry, the reason behind why is personal. Funny that something like this was made because of a sour emotion, yet it turned out pretty.

Who knows what American journalist Jake Geismer expected to find in postwar Berlin? Certainly not Lena, his one-time love. And not the trail of secrecy and deception that leads to the scheming young corporal who's Lena's new lover… and to a murder no one seems interested in solving. Except Jake.

Smart Cambridge mare Rondinella returned to the racing scene with a vengeance with a last-gasp win at Te Rapa today.
"The 1400m was short of her best but great to see her back in winning style," said co-trainer Robert Wellwood.
"She hit the line so well to get up in a tight finish," said Wellwood who trains in partnership with Roger James. "There is a lot of improvement in her yet as she has come back after nine months off the scene because of injury," he said.
Jockey Vinny Colgan said Rondinella has always looked something special. "She wasn't ready to win today but her class got her home."
Out of the Group Three winner Valpolicella, Rondinella is a half-sister to the Gr. 2 Autumn Classic winner and Group One performer Catalonia-Vilanova (AUS) and Celebrity Dream, a three-time winner at Listed level. Another of Valpolicella's foals, three-year-old Sahar, was also successful at Te Rapa today.

Title:Some people say that the government should spend money on measures to save languages that are used by few speakers, while others believe that it is a waste of financial resources. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Of the more than 5,500 languages in use now, some are used by a huge number of people, like English and Chinese, while some others only have very few speakers. Then a question arises whether governments should spend money protecting these minority languages from extinction. Some people consider it very necessary, while others think it is a waste of financial resources. In my opinion, governments should definitely take measures to save languages.
As is known to us all, a language is not just for daily communication, but carries a human culture as well. It is an important tool of recording a nation's history and spreading its culture. Therefore,protecting a language is protecting its cultural heritage. If we just let a language gradually fade away without doing anything, a culture is dying with it forever and then we can never get it back however hard the scholars work. This is no doubt an enormous loss for all humanity.
Admittedly, the government financial budget ought to be carefully planned, because it has so many things to take care of,and the top priority is always given to economic growth. But this does not mean that culture can be neglected. As a matter of fact, the more a country respects its cultural diversity, the happier and more united its people are. In this sense, protecting the minority languages is also conducive to the economic development of the country.
To sum up, governments should indeed spend money saving those languages of few speakers from dying out because by protecting these languages, the governments are not just protecting the culture, but also promoting the national unity and harmony. A language is such a gem that certainly needs preservation at any cost.

Ting might have better customer support though. There's some bad stuff about TracFone. Don't switch from a TracFone to a GSM phone. You might lose all your carried over minutes. 25 bucks for two months on TracFone. You get more minutes, texts, and data then Ting. One device, a hundred minutes, and no texts, and a hundred MB of data is 12 bucks a month. Might be cheaper, but for 50 cents more you get more everything.
The billing on Ting is different, you pay at the end of your billing cycle, for whatever you used. The average bill is over twenty bucks. You can get Ultra Mobile with unlimited minutes and texting for 19 bucks a month. Only a hundred MB of data though. I haven't even used 50 MB of data this month yet. And I used over a hundred MB of data last month. Ting won't work then.
Mom said me switching won't lower her bill by very much. Looks like it's almost two hundred bucks a month. How much is it if everyone switches? 50 bucks a month?
Auto refill makes TracFone even cheaper though. So it's the same as Ting or less with more minutes, texts, and data.
33 cents per minute on TracFone is a rip off though. Ten bucks for 30 minutes.
Why are the smartphone plans cheaper then the Pay As You Go plans? 80 bucks for 450 minutes. 90 days of service. Ultra Mobile is cheaper then TracFone, if you need a lot of minutes. Just run out of data every month.
I can't support TracFone, for charging 80 bucks for 450 minutes on their Pay As You Go plan. It's a huge rip off.

CHANHASSEN, Minn. (WCCO) – The Carver County Attorney's Office has declined to file criminal charges against the officers who fatally shot 16-year-old Archer Amorosi in July.
It all started the morning of July 13 with a 911 call from Amorosi's mother.
She said her 16-year-old son was being violent and destructive, and that he wouldn't let her leave.
According to court documents, she made the call from the garage where her son had locked her inside.
She told the 911 operator that Amorosi had a baseball bat and knives.
When asked if she thought her son would hurt the officers, she said, "Yes, I do. He wants them to shoot him."
As stated in a report released by the Carver County Attorney's Office, Carver County Sheriff's Deputy Travis Larson was first on scene. In recalling the incident, Larson said he saw a man — later identified as Amorosi — pointing a gun at him through a window.
"They get her out to safety, they try to de-escalate the situation, they pepper spray him in there, they try to taser him through the window in the house — it misses — and then Archer decided to run out of the front door," Carver County Attorney Mark Metz said.
Amorosi came out of the house with a gun and a hatchet. The gun recovered near Amorosi's body was a Daisy Powerline BB gun.
By that time, several other officers were on scene, including Carver County Sherriff's Cpl. Jake Hodge.
According to investigators, bodycam video shows deputies yelling at Amorosi several times to drop the hatchet and put the gun down.
Larson said Amorosi ran toward Deputy Hodge at a full-sprint with the BB gun and the hatchet, which is when both officers fired simultaneously.
"So it happened very quickly – instantaneously — in a critical decision-making moment of, 'My life's in danger, I need to protect my partner, I need to protect myself," Metz said.
Under Minnesota law, the use of deadly force was justified in the officer-involved shooting, the report states.

Governance and implementation of innovation policies
The governance and implementation of national innovation strategies are critical to their success. The process of developing a national strategy requires early and adequate involvement of stakeholders, including business, academia, social partners and other key actors. Because many policies affect innovation, it is important that they are well aligned, not only at central-government level, but also between the centre and regional and local authorities, many of which actively support innovation. The development and implementation of innovation policies also require strong capabilities within the public sector, including in building trust in government action and ensuring the support of stakeholders for policy actions.
The growing importance of governance also reflects a new approach to policies for innovation in many countries, where governments increasingly act as a facilitator in the face of complexity and uncertainty, enabling closer co-ordination between individual economic agents as well as fostering greater experimentation in the economy. This includes greater emphasis on building networks, improving co-ordination and regulation, as well as promoting awareness and less reliance on government funding.
Establishing a national strategy for innovation is one thing; its implementation is often another matter. The framing of policies for innovation needs to recognise that they operate in a complex, dynamic and uncertain environment, where government action will not always get it right. A commitment to monitoring and evaluation of policies, and to learning from experience and adjusting policies over time, can help ensure that government action is efficient and reaches its objectives at the least possible cost.
Policy learning rests on a well-developed institutional framework, strong capabilities for evaluation and monitoring, applying identified good practices, and an efficient government bureaucracy. Incorporating policy monitoring and evaluation at the design stage of policy making will support evidence-based decision making and accountability and enable policy learning over time, as can experimentation with policies at a small scale. Better measurement of innovation outcomes and impacts is essential in this context.

Part of this started for my search of creativity. A while ago I asked myself how does my art express what I want it to express? I unfortunately wasn't able to come up with an answer for this.
Before I was "happy" with my creations. But now I am just playing and having fun; making photos that will hopefully make people laugh and bring a smile to their face . I feel that I am finally expressing my different thoughts :)
As Zach said the other day "why does it feel like everything is coming to life?"
It's because I feel that my creativity has come to life, and is taking on a new direction.
Before all of this I would have long long periods of artist block. Now I can barely keep up with the ideas for future photo shoots :)
We'll see where this goes! I am hopeful though :)
A new word of the week is up. This week is "Balance" You can find it here at: Word of the Week

Yesterday evening I had the pleasure of speaking at an event called 'Demystifying Opportunities in Tech', alongside Alice Bentinck, Co-Founder of Entrepreneur First, and Chloe Donegan, Co-Founder of Weave. The aim of the event was to get more women interested in the tech startup community and to show them that not only was coding an accessible option for all, it would be a very shrewd move for them to become more versed in all matters digital.
Preparing for my speech gave me time to reflect on how I have come to find myself four weeks into an intensive web development course, as well as figure out what I hope to achieve by the time I come to the end of it.
This time last year, I was pretty certain that I knew where I would be now: safe in my job at a top global investment bank, and that was where I would stay for at least a couple of years, before fulfilling my desire to make a living working for myself. It wasn't until after I'd finally secured a job, after years of preparation, that I realised that I'd always just been doing what I thought I should be doing, rather than what I wanted to do, with regards to my career. Whilst I started to have these reservations, I also had the chance to meet a range of interesting recent graduates who were running their own startups, charities, or other projects, and had not taken the conventional corporate route straight out of university. This made me realise that I was mistaken in thinking that I had to as well.
It wasn't long before I realised that if I wanted to go down an entrepreneurial route, then knowing how to code was an incredibly powerful skill to have. When you know how to code, you have the ability to build your own unique websites and applications; you can solve complex problems, whether mathematical, logistical, or practical; from your bedroom, you can launch your own startup.
I've already had a feel for the independence an ability to code can give you. In my second year at university, I set up The StoryGraph, a creative writing publication, with a close friend of mine, Andrea. After we had done all of our planning, and had the concept clearly formed in our minds, we were stuck. Neither of us had any technical skills and so for the project to proceed it became impossible not to have to bring somebody else onto the team. Although we have had an excellent experience with our designer and web developer, we struggled to successfully convey our vision of the website, and Andrea and I were still restricted by their busy schedules. Changes couldn't happen as quickly as we wanted them to. Now I have full control of our website, and we can make changes exactly when we see fit, and experiment in our own time. Already, Andrea and I feel more connected to our creation.
On a more practical level, being a coder gives you a skill that enables you to earn money while freelancing. For people with entrepreneurial aspirations, this can be an ideal setup, as you're not tied down by the rigidity of a permanent job, and you can structure your day to get the most productivity out of it, fitting in your work on any side projects.
I always thought you needed to have started to learn to code from an early age if you were ever to be any good at it. This is certainly not the case. After two months of four hours a week at Code First: Girls I was able to develop an application called Sclogs which served as a logbook for 12-14 year olds so that they could have a record of their super-curricular activities as they progressed through secondary school and eventually applied to universities or internships. (Here are the details of an example account so that you can get an idea of how a typical 'sclog' might look: e-mail – firstname.lastname@example.com, password – sclogtest.)
This project demonstrated to me how the cost of setting up a basic website or app in order to test a concept can in many cases be limited only to how much time you spend on it. As a technical founder, you can quickly test a range of ideas from the comfort of your home, without having to make any financial commitment, until you're sure an idea has something special about it.
Whether you choose to complete courses on Codecademy, sign up to Treehouse, or participate in the intensive web development course at Makers Academy, do some learning to code. If you don't, you won't be giving yourself a chance to really participate in the exciting tech space that is rapidly evolving day-by-day.
If you're interested, you can watch my talk here. Feedback always welcome!

Show Description
Also known as ground sheets or sod cloths, footprints protect your tent floor from the wear and tear of rough ground. A footprint won't channel rain under the tent as a folded tarp can.
In addition to reducing waste by extending the life of your tent, our footprints are environmentally friendly because they are made of fabrics left over from our tent factories. Because of this, the footprints will vary in material (nylon or polyester), weave (ripstop or taffeta), and colour.
- All fabrics are 70-denier nylon or 75-denier polyester taffeta.
- All fabrics are polyurethane-coated to at least 1800mm of waterproofness.
- Hardware, trim, and webbing, are of similar quality to our tents.
- Fits MEC Quail (2000 model), Quail Plus (2001 onwards), or Hummingbird 2 tents.

Not sure where this one will lead…
She occasionally stares out the window; the store logos in the corner of her eye. She watches the yellow and black autos line up at the signal crossing, resembling lady bugs, she thinks, only with different colors. In the distance, tall eucalyptus trees give off their evening scent. The air is heavy and it makes beads of sweat break out on her forehead. At the corner of her coffee store, she can see red carnations and pale pink roses bundled up and shoved against a plastic blue canopy. For some reason, the sight soothes her.
As she leans back against the dark brown oak of her chair, she thinks of him coming to her in a bus. She imagines him constantly checking his phone for messages, tweets and friend updates on Facebook. He would be looking out of the window at intervals, probably stuck in unmoving traffic. Vehicles in a line as far as the eye can see. He'd then close his eyes and feel the wind move through his hair and he'd smile that charming half smile. Smiling to no one and thinking of her as he makes his way through.
She smiles to herself as she watches a slightly overweight teenager dressed in a pink blouse walk uncertainly to the door and look around for her friends. And then walk over to a table full of giggling teenage girls and one boy and say hello shyly. Years ago, she was the same over weight teenager. Sometimes, he still makes her feel like one when he says something outrageous and she giggles, automatically covering her lips. Some habits are comforting, she knows.
She looks up, distracted when a tall man walks by, dressed smartly in formal corporate wear. He does look spiffy and handsome, she thinks, and very smart, as he walks to the counter and orders a cappuccino. She looks some more and then moves her gaze out the window once more. She reaches for her Blackberry and dials his number. Where are you? She asks. Have you left? She carefully listens to the voice on the line, and softly whispers I will see you soon. With him, conversations are always soft and never shouted. He keeps her calm. Sometimes, he gets impatient and asks her to speak up since he can't hear. What he doesn't know is that she hates raising the sound of her voice to him. He is too good to her to merit such vulgar displays of emotion.
Not that they don't have their share of fights. She thinks of the day when they had their first argument. It was the only time she raised her voice out of anger. They argued over honesty and untruths and both came out slightly annoyed with the other. But she knows he means well. She remembers her best friend Lepakshi bursting out in laughter when she very seriously told her he is the wind beneath her wings. But it's true. She wailed. And Lepakshi's peals of laughter rang off the old stones of the station building. Sometimes, Shakespeare seems rather inadequate to convey what she feels. She doesn't know that Lepakshi looks at her fondly when she is looking away, with something close to pride.
Lepakshi's face blurs and changes into the navy blue late evening sky and a white menu being handed to her. The coffee shop's hints of making a confirmed purchase no longer remain just hints. As she ponders over Assam tea versus a Cappuccino, she decides on a Cappuccino. She has begun to appreciate the taste of the roasted beans .
Something makes her look up and she sees him. Making his way towards her. Coffee forgotten, the sugar sachets suspended midair, her eyes soften. The day's ending is always worth this moment.

The thigh's the limit for advertising
In an increasingly cluttered world, reaching consumers with your ads is becoming incredibly difficult. We watch programmes on catch-up TV and fast forward the adverts, ignore online banner ads and routinely delete marketing emails unread.
So how can advertisers respond? Step forward the latest Japanese idea – using women as walking billboards. Public relations consultant Hidenori Atsumi is paying young Japanese women to put adverts on their thighs and walk round Tokyo for eight hours a day. His rationale is that it is an area that men want to look at anyway and that women are happy to expose. Even ignoring all the inherent sexism in the idea I think it is a tactic that doesn't have a long term future, despite the column inches it is currently generating. While men won't get bored of looking at women's thighs, the impact will wear off – they'll remember the medium rather than the message.
However the idea got me thinking, so here's my top five underexploited ways of advertising and reaching the right audience
1 Heads
In a counterpoint to young women's thighs, another body part that gets a lot of attention is the head. You could dye hair in corporate colours or sculpt it to look like a product or company logo. Beards and moustaches offer another great opportunity. Alternatively for the follicly challenged, bald heads make a great space to display your message.
2 Beer glasses
I have seen some adverts on the bottom of beer glasses, but it still seems like an underused space. Obviously you need to keep the message simple so it is understandable after a few pints, but it would be a perfect way of reaching drinkers. How about a 'Buy Crisps' advert to boost pub snack sales – or for the more hardened drinker 'Buy Alka Seltzer'……
3 Plants
You can buy bean seeds that supposedly grow a leaf with a word on them, but that's small in comparison to what could be done with careful breeding and a bit of ingenuity. Individual plants with a sponsor's name or whole fields that display a message when viewed from above. Perfect for farmers near airports to boost their income.
4 3D Printers
3D printers are becoming cheaper and cheaper – you can now buy one for £699 in Maplin. But what if you were actually given one for free – but in return every third or fourth thing it made was an advert or replica of a product someone was trying to sell you. Essentially the Spotify model brought into the physical world. You could even hook up a webcam and social media so that it automatically tweeted a picture of the object to your social media followers.
5 Personalised billboards
We walk past billboards every day and often don't give them a second glance. But if they addressed us by name and delivered a personalised advert that would be different. It should be relatively simple to use smartphone proximity to trigger 'your' ad to appear – and it could even be based on your location. A billboard between the train station and your house would advise you to buy milk on your way home or one outside a clothes shop can offer a discount on new trousers. Providing you situate them in less busy areas (Leicester Square isn't going to work) they'd be able to deliver a personalised message to a steady stream of consumers.
Any other ideas I've missed? Tattooing toddlers or affixing ads to animals? Let me know in the comment section.

Factors affecting treatment times for eating disorder patients
Posted 15/11/2018
This questionnaire-based study aims to explore factors that may impact treatment times for patients treated as an inpatient, outpatient or both.
Purpose of Research
Due to the complex nature of eating disorders it is important for clinicians to formulate a care plan that best suits an individual's presentation. NICE guidelines offer clear points of consideration and specifically advise that if inpatient treatment is required this should be close to home. However, in some cases this may not be possible, potentially impacting on how often a support network can be available and involved in the treatment. The purpose of this study is to ask people in remission from an eating disorder about their experience as an outpatient, inpatient or both and their interaction with family or support networks.
Who can take part?
To participant you must be:
- Over the age of 18+
- Be in remission/recovered from an eating disorder.
What does it involve?
Completing a short online survey that should take no longer than 10 minutes. The questionnaire will ask you questions about which eating disorder you were diagnosed with, if you received treatment as an inpatient or outpatient and questions regarding the distance from your family or other support network during any time spent as an inpatient, as well as how often you got to see them during this time.
How can someone take part?

Like most people, one of my favorite things about the holiday season is all of the food. In particular, I, Alyssa, am a sucker for a good dessert! The problem is, by the time dessert rolls around, I've usually stuffed myself silly and I'm struggling to find room for the 5 varieties of treats ahead of me. Luckily these cheesecake stuffed apples slightly rectify the situation by combining two favorite desserts (cheesecake and baked apples) into one.
I say 'slightly' because they're so good you'll want to eat more than one, which consequently means you're stuck in the same dilemma of trying to find enough room. But then again, when dessert is concerned, who doesn't have enough room?!..
Cheesecake Stuffed Apples (yields 6)
- 6 large crisp apples
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 6 tablespoons caramel sauce (plus more for serving)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 egg
- 5 graham cracker sheets made into crumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Using a sharp knife and spoon (I find a grapefruit spoon to be the most helpful), scoop out the core, seeds and most of the inside of the apple, making sure to leave some fruit on the bottom and around the edges. Toss out the core but reserve the remaining apple for the filling. Continue on until you've hollowed out all of the apples then place them in a lightly greased glass baking dish. Set aside.
To make the filling, in the bowl of a stand mixer beat together the cream cheese, caramel sauce, vanilla, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and egg until smooth and creamy. Chop up the apple you reserved from the previous step into small pieces. Toss those into the cream cheese mixture, then stir for a few more seconds.
Scoop the cream cheese mixture into each of the apples, filling them up to the top. (Side note- if you have any extra filling, pour it into a small, oven proof ramekin, place it in a glass baking dish, add about ½ an inch of water around the ramekin and then bake it alongside the apples.)
Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix up the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. After the apples have baked for 30 minutes, remove them from the oven. Sprinkle graham cracker topping on each, then place them back in the oven for another 20-30 minutes, or until set.
Place the apples in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours to allow them to fully cool and set. These can also be made and stored in the fridge up to 24 hours in advance.
Serve with a drizzle of caramel sauce.
What is the one dessert you always save room for? There's still time to share the wealth on your favorite recipes before Thanksgiving next week!

Rev. Rama Coomaraswamy
Three Hindu cults which have received widespread acceptance in the West are presented. The first is Mahesh Yogi's Transcendental Meditation. You will notice that I do not grace him with the title Maharishi which means "great saint." The second is that of Mr. Aurobindo, whose most significant spin-off in this country has been the Esalen Institute, and in the Catholic Church, the expositions of Bede Griffiths. The third is the movement initiated by Rajneesh Bhagavan who liked to describe himself as "the blessed one who recognized himself as God."
Mr. Aurobindo received enlightenment in November of 1926, or as it is claimed in their literature, he at that point realized the "Supermind". "By the descent of the Overmind, the descent of the Supermind has been assured ... Sri Aurobindo ceased to see people and contact should be made with him only through the Mother." Aurobindo envisaged the Supreme Reality as Sat Chit Anand. Such a statement could be legitimate, though in point of fact Sat Chit Anand, or Being-Consciousness-Bliss are but primary manifestations of the Supreme Reality. Be this as it may, Aurobindo continues to tell us that the Supreme Reality is Pure Existence, Existence that is both will and forces and above all, it is blissful Existence. The Divine is not only omnipresent, it also includes both Matter and Spirit.
While supposedly anchoring his system in the Vedanta, he wove the theory of evolution into his philosophy. Man has come to the present stage of evolution through a process of evolutionary growth which is as yet still incomplete. Man has to grow in consciousness until he reaches complete and perfect consciousness, not only in his individual, but in his collective and social life. There is at the heart of things a conscious force that is evolving to ever higher forms of being, and indeed, there is also evolution of the Divine. In fact, growth of consciousness is the supreme secret of life and the master key to earthly evolution. Corresponding to the ascent from the material to the spiritual is a descent of the spiritual into the material. The link between the process of ascent and descent is where Mind and Supermind meet with a veil between them. The rending of this veil of maya is the necessary condition of the "Divine Life" in humanity. Physical evolution has brought mankind from lower forms of existence to the present stage of development, but is on the verge of yet higher stages of evolution. In the next stage man will emerge as a "gnostic being." This is our divine destiny.
Now what many people do not know is that the techniques used by these groups are essentially brainwashing and mind-bending techniques. A group of people gather around on the floor and embrace each other, telling each other their deepest feelings and experiences. Locked into a closed system, separated from their families, often for days at a time, those who do not accept the norm for the group - usually the lowest common denominator - and usually established by a "facilitator" and assistant whose function the other members of the group are unaware of-are browbeaten until they do. Now strictly speaking, brainwashing was developed in groups under external control such as prisoners. What is new is that Americans by the millions are rushing to accept this type of experience voluntarily...
Here once again, we have the export of evolutionary and Marxist thought to India, its adoption by a supposed Swami, and its reintroduction to the West, both by Murphy and the Esalen Institute, and also by Father Griffiths within the Catholic Church.

Alcohol Management At Your Party
See What Our Clients Have To Say
"Thank you to both you and Tim for your wonderful work as Party Security for Hannah's 18th birthday Party on Saturday night. We have received lots of praise for what a great night it was, with guests telling us how they enjoyed the venue, the food and the atmosphere.
I realise what a nightmare an 18th could have been, and we are lucky that the crowd was pretty well behaved. But importantly, you and Tim tactfully made sure that guests were clear on what the rules would be as they came in. Your watchful eyes and calm words throughout the night were most valuable, and I believe your presence contributed to the success of the party.
I would certainly use your company again, and would be happy to recommend U-Nome security to others"

The 20th Man Fund has used U-Nome Security for our functions on numerous occasions. I can't speak highly enough of their professional service. The staff have a common-sense approach to security and adapt this approach to a variety of events we have on our calendar. It is this understanding which sets them apart.
Hi Naomi
Thank you for providing security for our daughter's 18th birthday party.
Having the three of you, monitoring the guest list made the night easy for us and safe for the guests. I also appreciated how, at the end of the party, your staff escorted guests to their parents cars to ensure their safety. We received great, positive feedback from the neighbours.
Everyone had a great night.
Thank you,
Kate and David Richardson
In our opinion, U-Nome Security is the best in the business of crowd control. They are reliable and we have had the opportunity to work with them many times. Not only does U-nome Security specialise in crowd control, Naomi and her team can provide friendly security members to run the bar at your event.
Mr. Gregarious recommends U-Nome Security as they are a team of seasoned professionals.
Hi Naomi, big thanks to you and the team for looking after Alexandra's 18th on Saturday night! Ian, Joanne and Sam were all fantastic which meant Brian & I could also relax and enjoy the night. We'll definitely be back for the next one in a few years!
St Kilda
Dear Naomi
So so many thanks to you. You are so much more than considerate and concerned for the welfare of all. Warwick and I feel at ease now, knowing that you are going to be here to keep it safe. Take great care, as you are indeed a very special human being.
We are indeed lucky to have met you.
Warm regards and Happy Christmas to you and your family.

Ray J was hospitalized on Tuesday (Jan. 10) while shooting Celebrity Big Brother in the United Kingdom due to a severe tooth pain that caused him to black out. TMZ first reported the news, which Billboard has confirmed the with the singer's manager, David Weintraub. According to Weintraub, the Celebrity Big Brother producers initially "ignored" Ray J's medical requests on Sunday and ordered him to continue shooting. The next day, his condition worsened and his fellow cast members became increasingly concerned for his well being. The show then brought in a dentist, who gave Ray J painkillers. On Tuesday, Weintraub said, when his symptoms continued to worsen, at Ray J's pleading, producers finally conceded to bring him to a hospital but he blacked out on the way there due to the prescribed painkillers. Weintraub said Ray J is now is safely resting with plans to visit a dentist on Wednesday morning. Meanwhile, Ray J's future on the show is currently unclear. TMZ reports he has been kicked off, possibly putting his reported $1 million deal in jeopardy. But Weintraub told Billboard it is not so simple and says the show has breached its contract with his client, who he confirmed is the highest paid person in the history of the program. "There are a slew of legal issues that we are facing with the Big Brother program, because based on their actions they have breached their contract with us," he said. "We waited a long time to put Ray J in any U.K. programming, we waited for the right show, and it's unfortunate due to unforeseen circumstances that his first television show has so many issues that we're dealing with." Late Tuesday, Ray J tweeted saying he hoped to rejoin the show. I was having so much fun! - still waiting to go back in - fingers crossed! #cbb2017 — Ray J.

The Soviet Union's launching of the world's first artificial satellite – Sputnik – in 1957 delivered on the long-held expectation that one day we would enter the realm of outer space. That this was achieved by the USSR surprised many and augured an upheaval in the West's perception of itself that has echoes for the present. This talk looks at Sputnik's origins: the land whence it came, the people, the culture, the politics and the technology that gave it form. With references to the Science Museum's innovative Cosmonauts exhibition of 2015 and a look forward to how Sputnik's minimal nature is being revisited by today's mini, micro and even nano-satellites, it will ask questions of our future in space and – indeed – whether we have one at all.
Doug Millard graduated in Environmental Sciences at the University of Warwick in 1981. He qualified as a secondary science teacher in 1983 and then joined the Education Department of the Science Museum in London in 1985. Between 1987 and 1991 he curated the chemical industry, gas, plastics and space technology collections. In 1992 he managed the Museum's main collections' store and then coordinated the procurement and installation of the Museum's new computer network. In 1994 he returned to curatorial work and is now Deputy Keeper Technologies and Engineering. He has produced many space exhibitions, written articles, papers and books including a history of the Black Arrow satellite launch vehicle and its engines, lectured widely and appeared on television and radio. In 2006 he gained his MSc in the History of Science, Technology and Medicine at the University of London. In April 2012 he co-organised with the UK Space Agency a conference held at the Science Museum to mark the 50th anniversary of the Ariel 1 satellite. He worked on the 'Information Age' gallery at the Science Museum (2014) and was senior curator for the 'Cosmonauts: Birth of the Space Age' exhibition (2015) and editor of the associated publication. His book 'Satellite: Innovation in Orbit' was published by Reaktion Books early 2017. He is currently researching a new permanent space gallery at the Museum.
The lecture will be preceded by the 18th Annual General Meeting of the Flamsteed Astronomy Society, starting at 7pm.

Minichiello signs Hull FC contract extension
Hull FC back-rower Mark Minichiello has signed a new one-year contract extension with the Super League side.
The 36-year-old was out of contract at the end of the current campaign, but has now signed on for a fifth season with the Black and Whites.
He has made over 100 appearances for FC since joining from Gold Coast Titans at the start of the 2015 season.
Minichiello becomes the latest player to commit to the club, after utility back Jake Connor last week signed an extension until 2021.
The Australian, who captained Italy at the Rugby League World Cup last year, said that he was "delighted" to remain in East Yorkshire.
"Since I arrived here back at the start of 2015, the club has changed dramatically for the better. Everything is building nicely, and Lee [Radford] is creating a great culture here.
"I'm sure it's going to continue in the same direction and I'm happy to be a part of that going forward. We have plenty of good people and players around the club and it's great to be a part of it."
Minichiello has helped Hull to back-to-back Challenge Cup wins, but he now has his sights set on helping them reach the Grand Final for the first time since 2006.
"I've already created some great memories here, but one of the key reasons I wanted to stay on was to try and help the side to a Grand Final appearance.
"I want to make sure I have the chance to achieve that, it's something that I've never done in my career but I'm still keen to achieve.
"I believe the club are in a good position to do that, and if not this year, hopefully we can achieve it next season. We have the people here to be able to do and that's why I wanted to go around again in 2019."
He will be 37 when the 2019 season begins and could become the oldest player in Super League, but he still believes that he is in great shape.
"Most players are retired at my age but personally, I'm still feeling really physically fit. I've always strived to look after myself and luckily it seems to have worked and I've bought a few more years at the back end of my career."
Coach Lee Radford praised Minichiello as "the most professional player I have ever come across".
"Mini's quality was never in doubt when he joined the club. He's been huge on and off the field since 2015," he added.
"He does some outlandish things to get those one percents to give us an advantage, like sleep patterns for example, but it works for him so credit to him. He's 36 and in great condition so he's doing something right.
"He's head and shoulders above anyone else I've met with regards to how he prepares for a game. He's brilliant to have around the club."

Favorite verse: Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
John Mark Kuhns was born in Arthur, Illinois, and spent most of his developing years near Middlefield, Ohio. He earned a bachelor of arts in biomedical humanities from Hiram College in 2006 with a view toward pursuing a career in medicine. Instead, his 2008 detour into teaching led him to a career in education. He currently teaches grades 9-10 at Faith Builders Christian School.
John Mark and Desiree (Brubaker) were married in 2013. They have a beautiful daughter, Navaeh, born in April 2015.
They enjoy spending time with family and friends, gardening, and solving crossword puzzles. It is their desire that God's work would be accomplished and His kingdom established through their work.

Here the historical source - the charge
And the ambulance in the backround
And here now the making of. After 20 years I am used to the guys way of converting everything into the unit they need. For example take a closer look at the Sikh war infantry here on the blog to see what they converted into Sikhs.
And take a look here which figures became Prussian infantry. Simply add a Pickelhaube and make the blanket. The rest is a paintjob. From half a meter distance, you don't see the details within the diorama. But it is fun to check which figures were the source of the conversion.
Step one - heads
Ok, the French were much more easier, but even here we have FFL, WW1 French, and "true" 1870ies.
Well, this diorama is another boost for me to go forward with my own armies for this war. And for sure in 2018 I will try to let Massimo sculpt me more sets for this war!

The human appendix has been considered a useless vestigial organ that is routinely removed when it is inflamed. That seemed unreasonable to me because living animals, humans in our recent hundred thousand years of evolution included, are in life-long competition to perform well. An organ that gives normal humans an occasional severe bout of inflammation, and occasional death, would need a counterbalancing value to have survived without being eliminated from the gene pool.
With the recent interest in the nearly one thousand intestinal bacterial life forms we naturally carry, I considered the possibilities for my appendix, and yours. I have several blogs based on Dr. Martin Blaser's foundational book, Missing Microbes. It is my main source for science-based information on the subject of intestinal flora.
In recent news I discovered Appendix might do intestines a favor. I was searching for background information for why we have an appendix. It became obvious to me that the appendix's function is to preserve a reserve of these bacteria tucked away in a pocket at the junction between the small intestine and the large intestine. That is the location where it can resupply both of these differently functioning intestines with needed bacteria after a serious bout of diarrhea has washed away all of the other material from mouth to anus.
Unfortunately the article above recommends the exact wrong procedure for coping with appendicitis. "The shift in thinking about the appendix comes as some hospitals consider scaling back appendectomies and making greater use of nonsurgical management of appendicitis with antibiotics." Other doctors quoted in the article say, "Appendectomies are safe and remain the treatment of choice."
The function of the appendix for a hundred thousand years, before modern medicine, probably was to resupply the intestines with its essential bacteria, because without that bacteria we will soon die of starvation, and other things too. A heavy dose of antibiotics will kill off all of the bacteria in the body, including those in the appendix. Probably the reason modern people have survived seven decades of antibacterial treatments is because the material in the appendix is to some degree isolated from both the intestines and the rest of the body where the drugs are also flowing. The bacteria surviving in the appendix repopulate the intestines in a day or two and we are as good as before the disease, and the appendicitis. A diseased appendix may be a perfectly healthy organ just doing its normal disease-fighting routine, which includes inflammation.
A better treatment for a mildly inflamed appendix, and until it ruptures, is to give anti-inflammatories such as aspirin, and mild foods. Keep the person under hospitalized observation for a day or until there is no choice to let them go home or to operate.
With appendicitis don't take antibiotics or operate until you must.
