Relaxing can be difficult when you are constantly under so much work-related stress. Luckily there are a few things that you can do to try and help yourself.
Try some Ambient Noise
You can download some great ambient noises with ease, and they are ideal if you want to unwind at the end of a hard day. Some of the noises that you can use include a nice crackling fire, a bustling coffee shop or even lightning. You have to find something that works for you and you also need to find something that you can relax to as well.
Essential Oils
Lavender and rose oil are fantastic for you to relax with. They are very calming, and they are great if you want to try and let all of that stress go at the end of a long week. If you have never tried essential oils before then you need to try and use them with a diffuser. When you do this, you can easily get the full benefit of the oils you use. If this doesn't work for you then why not look into cannabis vaporizers?
Have a Cup of Tea
Believe it or not, a hot cup of tea can be really relaxing on a cold evening. If you can, try not to have more than one as the caffeine content can make it much harder for you to sleep at night. If you want to help yourself then try and opt for chamomile, lavender or even lemon balm. These are very popular for their calming effects and they are also great if you want to avoid being awake late at night.
Adult colouring books are fantastic for relaxing. Mandalas are a good starting point if you have never done it before and they are super good for stress relief. You can also download a ton of applications online, and when you download them you will soon find that there are hundreds of designs too. The best thing about colouring on an app is that you can take it with you while on the go.
Go out for a Walk
If it is too cold for you to head outside, then you can try watching a nature video. When you have one on that you like, put in some headphones and drift away. This will help you to really unwind and it will also help you to feel as though you are in the great outdoors. You can also try and go out for a walk. When you do this, you can then breathe in the fresh air and really leave all of your worries behind. Sometimes it helps to walk without a purpose too. So instead of walking to somewhere, such as the shop or even to a friend's house, just find a country lane and see where the road takes you. You can turn back whenever you want, and you will relax much more as a result as well. You could even take some great pictures while on your journey!
Do you have a favorite way to de-stress after a long day or week at work? I would love to hear about it in the comments below!

"Giving Thanks Because We Need To" #81-12 Presented on The Lutheran Hour on November 24, 2013 By Rev. Ken Klaus, Speaker Emeritus of The Lutheran Hour (Giving Thanks Because We Need To) Copyright 2013 Lutheran Hour Ministries
Text: Luke 17:15-16
Christ is risen. He is risen, indeed! Anyone who has a mind which thinks, a heart which feels, a soul once condemned by sin should give thanks Christ has risen from the dead. Now, in Him there is forgiveness and salvation for all who acknowledge Him as Savior. For Your gifs, dear Lord, we give thanks. Amen. Because of the small, white spots on his eyelids and hands the man had thought something might be wrong. True, they were small spots, but it never hurts to have things checked out. His visit to the priest-physician had not gone well. His diagnosis was hardly what he had hoped to hear. The priest had tried to be compassionate as he told the man 'there was nothing to be done.' No physician possessed a cure for his ailment. His situation was hopeless; he was helpless and his condition was terminal. The patient left the consultation with his mind awhirl at the impact of what he had been told. From now on every bit of clothing he wore had to be torn and anything he touched would be unclean. Fear of infecting his family and friends would have kept him from their sides; but he was not allowed to get within six feet of anyone... unless that 'anyone' was also a leper. If anyone gave some sign of wanting to break that six-foot barrier, he had to shout "Unclean! Unclean!" No longer could he go to the temple to make a sacrifice; no longer could he work for a living. The only good thing he had heard in his consultation was that leprosy was not particularly painful. That was because the disease, along with all the other damage it did, would also destroy his nerves. Further inquiry had revealed even the blessing of painlessness had a downside. Without the ability to feel pain, there would be no way for him to gauge what was happening to his body. A bone could be broken and he would not know. A scratch could become an infected, festering wound, and he would not know. "Maybe," the man thought, "maybe the people are right. Maybe this disease is a Divine curse for some great sin I have committed." How else could he explain the dreadful destruction which was coming to his body, the desolation which already had taken hold of his soul? He tried to remember all that the physician-priest had told him he could expect. He remembered that the small white patches on his eyelids and hands would spread until his entire body was covered in white, shiny scales. Even his hair would be bleached white. There would be swellings on the various parts of his body and those swellings would become sores. The disease would slowly eat its way from the surface of his skin into his tissues, his bone, his joints and marrow. Slowly at first, and then with greater speed his lips, nose, and ears would thicken and become grotesque to the sight of others. His toes and the fingers on his hands would fall off one by one. The ability to speak would be taken away; as would his vision and his hearing. Slowly his body would cave in on itself until finally, at long last welcome death would release him. Without thinking and by habit, the man had began his walk with the idea of returning home, but now harsh reality told him he had no home, no wife, no children, no country, no friends, no temple. Although later generations would know otherwise, our man soon came to believe he had been cursed and the only people who would welcome him were others who were also victims of this loathsome disease. And so it was, the man found himself in the company of nine other fellows who understood his situation because they were suffering as he was suffering. Together they lived outside a village in the borderland between Galilee and Samaria. There at the gates of the community they kept their prescribed distance from healthier, happier folk who were coming and going into town. There they hoped someone might take pity on them and share a bit of food, a little charity, and most importantly, news of what was going on in the regular world. Yes, that news was important for it made them feel, at least for a few moments, like they were a part of regular society. Those pieces of news were important because it allowed them to think about and talk about something other than their illness and the past lives they had lost. I wonder what news these ten had heard about Jesus. Had they been told of how He had healed a cripple and those who were demon-possessed at Capernaum? It is quite likely they may have been given bits and pieces of how Jesus had raised the Centurion's daughter and the son of the widow who lived in the town of Nain. That bit of news would have been of enormous interest to the ten. "Is it not possible," they would have thought to themselves and said to each other, "that a Man who raises the dead also might bring healing to ten lepers?" Of course they had no answer to that question and little hope that the previous thought would ever be more than speculation. But all that changed when the forsaken men got word that Jesus was headed their way. Oh, most certainly the news might be just a rumor, but what if it were true? If it were true, it would give them the chance of a lifetime. What should they do? No, they dare not run toward Jesus. Their approach might frighten Him away; it might even lead to something as unpleasant as His disciples stoning them. What should they do; what should they ask for; how should they say it? These were all important questions. Eventually they decided: they would call out to Jesus from a distance and they would not be specific in their request. They would call out, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us," and then let Him decide what form His mercy would take. The Gospel of Luke tells us that Jesus did come to that town and the lepers kept to their plan. From the proper distance they shouted, "Jesus, have mercy on us." Now I don't know what those ten men thought would happen, but I am sure they never expected what did happen. Jesus, without conversation or interaction, simply told them, "Go and show yourselves to the physician-priests who gave you your diagnosis. Show yourself to the fellows who can give you a clean bill of health." It is to the credit of the lepers that they didn't reply: "Why, what good is that going to do? The priests can clearly see, as anybody can see, we are lepers." No, the ten didn't do that. What they did was start out toward Jerusalem, the temple, and a new verdict on their future. Scripture doesn't tell us how many miles they had walked, how much time had ticked by before they realized they had been made well. Without the ability to see their own faces the revelation came when they looked at each other. The white scales were gone, the thickening of the facial features was gone; the fingers and toes were back. They had been healed!. And that left these men who had been given a new lease on life with a choice. They could, as they had been instructed by Jesus Himself, continue on the path to the physician-priests in Jerusalem. There they would hear that not only had their bodies been restored, so had their past lives. On that path was a reunion with family and friends, wife and children. On that path was the ability to return home and go back to work and live out their lives in happiness. And the other path... the other path would take them back to Jesus so they might give Him thanks for the miracle He had done. Each of the healed lepers probably wrestled with what they should do. Most of them probably ended up thinking something like, "This is great! I'm not going to mess up my miracle by doing something stupid. I don't want to run the risk of appearing to be disobedient and not doing as I was told. Nope, Jesus said, 'Go to Jerusalem' and that's exactly what I am going to do." I can't fault those fellows for their logic. To be honest, I think I probably would have come to the same conclusion. I would have gone to Jerusalem, seen the Priest, got a clean bill of health and then find Jesus and give Him thanks. Yup, that would have been my intention; just as it was probably was theirs. Sadly, Scripture never records that any of those nine ever got around to finding Jesus and showing their appreciation. No doubt when they got home, they were instantly immersed in picking up their own lives, loving their spouses, hugging their children, picking up where they left off. The longer they stayed at home, the easier it was to put their thanks to Jesus on the back burner. They wanted to thank Him, they intended to thank Him, but somehow life got in the way and they never got around to making the trip or saying the words. And that, too, is something I can understand. I can understand because I have seen it happen. Back when I first entered the ministry, every year when Thanksgiving rolled around, I gave my people the opportunity to say, "Thank You" to the Lord. In the weeks before the official festival rolled around I encouraged them to spend a few minutes, do an inventory of the past year, and write down a specific thing for which they were thankful. They could sign their names or not. Then, on Thanksgiving, I would read those heartfelt expressions of thanks from the altar. The only thing I was worried about was time. I always tried to keep my services to an hour, and I was absolutely positive there would be a ton of thanksgiving prayers to be read. How could there not be? After all, throughout the entire church year I had been bringing a laundry list of petitions to the Lord on their behalf. There had been prayers for rain and prayers to stop the rain. There were prayers for mothers who were pregnant and prayers for those women who wanted to be. There had been prayers asking God to heal those who had cancer, heart attacks, strokes, arthritis, and all manner of diverse diseases. We had had prayers for people who had been in accidents; those who were afraid of losing their job; for children serving in the military; for those who were in love, wanted love, and who had fallen out of love. You name it, we had prayed for it. And now, on one day we were going to give thanks to the Lord for all the wonderful ways He had had mercy on us. And do you know what happened? I can tell you: not much of anything happened. I figured it out. Less than 1% of the folks who had asked God for something, and had gotten what they had asked for, came back to give a public "Thank You." Less than 1%. Boy, I was fried at the ingratitude. Then, by God's grace, I got unfried. I knew these people. They were good people. More than being good people, they were God's people. Indeed, they were some of the best Christians I have ever met. They were folks who knew they were sinners and believed with all their hearts that God's Son had come into this world to save them from those sins. They, like God's people in every generation, knelt with the Bethlehem shepherds and gave thanks for the birth of the Christ Child. They were faithful in their worship and, by the Holy Spirit's power, they walked with Jesus and heard how He healed the sick, fulfilled the Old Testament prophecies, and called sinners to repentance. These people were God's people and they readily confessed that they had fallen far short of the perfection which God demands. With gladness they went to Communion and gave thanks for the blood-bought forgiveness that Jesus had won for them on Calvary's cross. And when Resurrection Sunday came around, nobody had to urge them to reply with great gladness: "Christ is risen, indeed." They knew that Jesus' resurrection was the turning point of history and they were glad that because Jesus had conquered death, all who believe on Him would be reunited forever in heaven. What I am trying to say is this: these people were very much followers of the Savior, it's just that I had failed in telling them, urging them, providing the opportunity for them to give thanks. It was a good many years ago Pam and I gave one of our nephews a present for Christmas. To be honest, it was a practical present and as often happens with practical presents, it wasn't something which captured his imagination. Still, his mother said "Say thank you to Uncle Ken and Aunt Pamie." By then my nephew was involved opening other presents of far greater interest and the "Thank you" didn't come out. Once again came the urging, "Say thank you to Uncle Ken and Aunt Pamie." No response. That's when I said, "Forget it. It's not important. We don't need him to thank us." My suggestion was countered with a reply filled with deep theological meaning. His mother said, "You may not need to hear it, but he most certainly needs to say it. He will say 'thank you' because it is right, because he should be grateful, and because he will be a better person if he does." That Christmas I learned a lesson. Never again did I say to my people, "Wait until Thanksgiving and we will read your prayers of appreciation to God." Never again did I wait for their thankful hearts to grow cold; never again did I let the pressures of life get in the way of their gratitude. Instead, when a prayer asking God to do something came in, we tried to ask, "When this prayer is answered, won't you let us know so we as a congregation can give thanks?" Do you know, it didn't take too long before people started doing just that. One person started the ball rolling and soon there were others. Then written prayers of appreciation to the Lord, and for their caring Christian friends, started to show up in the office. "Would you make sure this gets put in the Weekly Information Sheet?" we were asked... and we were glad to do so. Following the single leper who returned to Jesus and give thanks, we found ourselves being transformed. No longer were we just a congregation who had a bushel basket of requests; we were also a congregation who knew how to give thanks. To paraphrase that mother, "It's not that God desperately needed to hear us offer a public thanksgiving, He already knew what was in our grateful hearts. On the other hand, we most certainly need to offer up our thanks. We needed it because it was right, because we should be thankful, and because others needed to hear us say it." God's people need to offer up thanks because they need to acknowledge they are recipients of countless bounties which come from the Lord. Do you need an example? That's easy. Today we have been talking about leprosy. Did you know that in the last twenty years more than 15 million people have been cured of the disease which once only could be cured by the hand of God? Because those cures are administered by men that doesn't mean the Lord should receive any less thanks. Remember He is the Lord who has given the medicine and it is He who brings about the healing. We have been talking about leprosy today. Do you know that this disease which once brought disaster and devastation to almost every village and town in the ancient world is confined to the treatment of 3,000 cases in all of the United States? In fact, it is quite probable that you have never personally known anyone who had the disease. For this we need to give thanks. But there's more... for drinking water and the children's laughter we need to give thanks. For accidents which never have occurred, for a good dentist, and the mail which manages to get through on time we need to give thanks. For a million things that the world does not see, can not see, will not see, our gratitude should be shown to the Lord. For the Savior who has lived, died and risen for us; for the Redeemer who continues to care for us; for the Messiah who has saved us we need to give immediate and ongoing thanks. Which is why, today and this Thanksgiving Day, we would invite you to join us in praising God from whom all blessings flow. If that is what is in your heart, I extend this invitation: please, call us at The Lutheran Hour. Amen. LUTHERAN HOUR MAILBOX (Questions & Answers) for November 24, 2013 Topic: Giving Thanks Because We Need To ANNOUNCER: And we're back, with our Speaker Emeritus, Pastor Ken Klaus. I'm Mark Eischer. KLAUS: Hi, Mark... and a blessed Thanksgiving to you and to all our listeners in the U.S. ANNOUNCER: I'm glad you brought that up. Our listeners in Canada celebrated Thanksgiving back in October. In the U.S., it's the last week of November when we have an officially designated day set aside to thank the Lord for all His blessings. KLAUS: I have noticed that, with increasing frequency, some people manage to celebrate Thanksgiving Day without anyone to thank. ANNOUNCER: I've heard that, too. KLAUS: At best, they thank themselves or each other for their good fortune. ANNOUNCER: That's thanks, separated from God. KLAUS: And in some quarters, they call it "turkey day." ANNOUNCER: Which takes the focus entirely off thanks and God. KLAUS: And for others, it's the day when they wax down their credit cards and get ready for the great holiday shopping spree known as Black Friday. ANNOUNCER: You know if we keep spinning this out like this, we'll never get around to the actual question! KLAUS: Just wanted to make a point. And lest anyone wonder, that point is this: humankind doesn't find it natural to thank or even give credit to God for His bounty. As a result, even the one day set aside to show our appreciation to Him is often stolen and used for something else. ANNOUNCER: All of which can serve, perhaps, as the color commentary for today's question. Our listener says, "Why should we thank God?" He's been to many parts of the world where he saw people near starvation. If God is all-powerful... and He's the One who makes the crops grow and provides the harvest, why does God let these children starve? KLAUS: Well, since this man had been in places where there were starving children, I wish I could ask him how he helped those starving children while he was there. How much food he bought to alleviate their terrible condition? How many dollars he donated in sympathy for these individuals? ANNOUNCER: Would you really do that? Confront the listener like that? KLAUS: Back in the days when I was young and hotheaded, you bet, I would. Now, naw, not so much, I wouldn't do that. On the other hand, I do wonder what the man did when he was given the opportunity. Did these people move him enough to help them or did they move him enough just so he could use their plight to take some pot-shots at God? ANNOUNCER: Back to the question. Why doesn't God feed the starving? KLAUS: You know, Mark, we never did get away from answering the man. I can remember way back in the 1960s when the world population was around 3 billion people. I read all kinds of articles back then about how the earth had reached its maximum capacity as to the number of mouths we could feed. At that time, the experts said we were looking at possibly hundreds of millions of people starving. And when I say "starving", it was more than a bad diet or a sub-standard caloric intake; they were talking about folks having no food at all. ANNOUNCER: But now the world's population is over 7 billion and still climbing. KLAUS: But we still don't see that starvation taking place on the scale predicted by those learned men so many years ago. ANNOUNCER: Okay. What happened? KLAUS: Norman Borlaug. Norman Borlaug happened. He's the guy who began the "green revolution", the fellow credited with saving a billion lives. He developed ways to increase food production so many, many people could be fed. I believe God is responsible for that. God created the genetics so that a scientific mind like Borlaug and others like him could perform an agricultural miracle. ANNOUNCER: But there still are starving people. KLAUS: There are and many of them are starving not for lack of a God-given food supply; they're starving because of man's sinfulness. Take North Korea. There the government has decided to put all the money into the arming of its troops, not the feeding of its people. In other places, the food is there--but profiteers steal it. In yet other places, war creates a flood of refugees and cuts those refugees off from a food supply. God has provided the food, but it is humankind which has stopped the delivery of that food. ANNOUNCER: So, what you're saying... KLAUS: God doesn't want people to starve. He has given us the means to feed the hungry. If they remain hungry, it's often because sinful humanity lets it happen that way. ANNOUNCER: God can work through us to provide for those who need it. One example is the Global Mission Fund of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. For more information, go to lcms.org. This has been a presentation of Lutheran Hour Ministries.

An intriguing new DNA study attempting to unravel the mystery of a macabre site in the Himalayas known as 'Skeleton Lake' wound up producing some rather confounding results. The eerie location, discovered during World War II and officially dubbed 'Roopkund Lake,' contains hundreds of skeletons of unknown origin. Over the years, researchers have offered a variety of theories for where the bodies could have come from, with the most prevalent hypothesis being that the unfortunate individuals all died simultaneously from some kind of catastrophe.
However, a fresh examination of a sample of the remains indicates that the story of Skeleton Lake is far more complex. In a newly published paper, scientists detail how they performed genomic testing on 38 skeletons taken from the site and discovered that their age, as well as their background, differ dramatically. Specifically, the researchers found that 23 of the bodies were of South Asian ancestry and perished sometime between the 7th and 10th centuries. Amazingly, 14 of the remains were of eastern Mediterranean ancestry and died a whopping 1000 years later.
It is that latter group which has proven to particularly perplexing to researchers as they cannot explain why eastern Mediterranean people would have been in the area at that time. The presence of these apparent visitors to the region, they say, may indicate that gruesome nature of Roopkund Lake was more than merely a local curiosity and, instead, was something that captured the imagination of people around the world who had gotten word of the creepy location covered in skeletons.

strategy going in. Small Business Trends has a great 10-point checklist for starting your own Ecommerce store.
Box subscriptions are the new trend on the block, and if you can find a product (or group of products) that hasn't been bundled in this format before, you
may be onto something profitable.
One big draw for these types of services is saving money, so figuring out a way to make the boxes you are putting together as affordable as possible needs
to be priority number one. According to LearnVest, offering cheaper services is the best
way to stand out from the competition in this industry. Dollar Shave Club did it with razors

With technology in the realms of travel and communication still growing by leaps and bounds, business in the 21st century continues to grow increasingly
international in nature. With companies no longer separated by geography, language barriers will become a more prevalent challenge.
This challenge to modern business is an excellent opportunity for translation service companies. With the right connections and a few employees that are

With interpreters being in such high demand, it may be difficult to lure them into working for you. It's important to know the right way to attract talent at a young company.
If you've got the experience and credentials to run a great business, helping others start and run their own businesses is a lucrative field to consider.

As more and more companies start to outsource roles that were once primarily in-house, positions such as a consultant will become increasingly common.
There's no better time than now to get on board.
Gone are the days where mom stayed home with the kids while dad went off to work. With the vast majority of modern families including two working parents,
the need for day care is steadily rising.
Best of all, as long as you keep your head count below the minimum number set by your state, you don't need any special licensing to start running a
daycare from your home, though as your business grows, getting the proper licensing and hiring qualified employees is certainly something to consider.
This is an especially great business to start, logistically speaking, if you have kids of your own to take care of. Either way, starting your own daycare
is a great way to work from home and build a booming business.
Social media presents an incredible marketing opportunity, offering companies instant access to millions of potential buyers. It's a luxury the business

As a social media consultant, your job is to help businesses effectively integrate their current marketing campaigns across social media platforms.
Starting a social media consultancy, however, requires a little bit more than a love for Twitter. You definitely need to have some marketing chops and a
proven track record at building large social media followings before you get started.

Organic and locally-grown fruits and vegetables are all the rage these days, as more and more people become conscious of what goes into their food. Thanks
to this trend, there is a great deal of opportunity for growing and selling fruits and vegetables year-round in a well-managed greenhouse.
Make no mistake, though: growing plants is hard work, and requires much more care and expertise than simply sticking seeds in the dirt and watching them
grow. If you weren't born with a green thumb, expect a steep learning curve.
Even so, if you've got the space for a greenhouse and a love for gardening, you can turn what most people view as a hobby into a profitable business.
Car washes are everywhere, but services that handle cleaning the inside and outside of your car are far less common. Especially for big events such as prom
or a wedding, car owners will pay a premium to have their vehicle cleaned to sparkling perfection.
A car detailing service does not require much in terms of startup costs, employees, or space to operate. It's something you can start out of your garage
and expand as your business grows.
Just take note that businesses like this live and die by word-of-mouth reputation, so be sure to do an excellent job, especially when you're starting out.
With the right amount of attention to detail, a car detailing business could prove to be lucrative.

Some readers here are old guys who studied in Rome back in the day. Those from the Pontifical North American College, the "bags," studied here in this collegio (the little house on Humility Street) until Spellman built their new spaceship on the Janiculum.
The North American Seminary in Rome was housed here and opened on December 8, 1859. Pius IX has his palace atop the Quirinal Hill and wanted his seminarians from the New World to be just down the street. Today, it's still a collegio (residece), albeit for English-speaking priests who go to Rome now to study post-ordination. See their site here: http://www.pnac.org/general/casa_santa_maria.htm
The now elderly bags might be happy to know they're now restoring the entire exterior - as can be seen in the photo. Now the "new men" won't even know the old ocher look.
One question for the old timers, though: I have always wondered if this image is a rendition of an Our Lady of Humility or a Vergine Immaculata? Please advise.

Observations 9-10-18
- Putting a Nerf dart from the N-Strike era in a bin with darts from the Velcro dart tag era and thinking, somewhat insensitively, that I was teaching them about integration.
- Investigating the animal sound from 9-7-18 and finding that mice had had a gathering there with Smarties from a nearby Halloween-leftover bowl, leaving wrappers and tiny turd evidence behind. Breaking the news to my mom carefully, like it was a serious tragedy (she really doesn't like rodents, as least not in our house). Judging that the mice must have done a coordinated, military-style operation to get into and out of the candy bowl, because it was pretty deep. I'm talking mice standing on each other's shoulders and slingshotting Smarties.
- Going without deodorant and smelling my own B.O. for the first time in a long time! Feeling perversely satisfied by it, like, "Oh, I can still do that."
- Clogging the toilet in one of my final acts at home before starting the new (and final) college school year. But plunging it before I left.
- Noticing the reverby bongos on "A Day in the Life" for the first time in my life.
- Assuming that memorizing lines on Drunk History must be like preparing for your b'nai mitzvah (as a non-Hebrew, non-trope reader).
- The jazz vocal student at my school's conservatory scatting with an old school growl that you don't hear often anymore.

Global IT spending on products and services will grow 3.5 percent year-over-year in 2017 to total nearly $2.4 trillion, according to an IDC Semiannual IT Spending Guide update. Looking ahead to 2020, global IT spending will grow to nearly $2.65 trillion, a CAGR of 3.3 percent from 2015-2020.
Geographically, North America (the U.S. and Canada) will be the largest market for IT products and services, accounting for more than 40 percent of all worldwide revenues over the period.
Zooming in on the U.S. market, IDC forecasts IT spending will rise to reach nearly $920 billion in 2017 and surpass the $1 trillion mark in 2020. U.S. spending on IT services, such as applications development, deployment and project-oriented services, will account for the largest share – $275 billion this year, IDC says.
Furthermore, U.S. spending on software will grow at a healthy 7.9% CAGR over the forecast period, making it the largest category by 2020. Spending on IT business services will show healthy growth over the five-year time horizon, growing at a 6.0 percent CAGR, while spending on IT hardware will be nearly flat, rising at a CAGR of just 0.5 percent.
"While we are seeing a tempering in growth for U.S. healthcare provider IT spending as we enter the post-EHR era, the diverse and innovative professional services industry is expected to exhibit the fastest growth over the life of the forecast," elaborated Jessica Goepfert, IDC program director, Customer Insights and Analysis in a press relase.
"Combine tech-savvy talent with an information-based business, and one can envision the multitude of possibilities for IT in this segment. IT investments will be used to achieve goals related to the differentiation of products and services, improving client satisfaction, and increasing revenue," she added.
Global IT Spending
Among industry sectors globally, banks, securities and insurance brokerages and investment services providers will continue to spend the most on IT products and services, accounting for around 30 percent of global IT spending over the five-year period, the market research provider highlights.
Telecom and professional services industry players, along with governments, will also number among those spending comparatively high amounts on IT products and services.
In terms of IT spending growth, healthcare, professional services companies and banks will lead the way. Banks will overtake discrete manufacturing companies in 2018 to wind up being the second largest industry sector in terms of IT spending, according to IDC's latest update.
In terms of company size, very large businesses that employ 1,000 or more will continue to spend the lion's share, accounting for more than 45 percent of global IT spending from 2015-2020.
Businesses in the small office category (1-9 employees) will account for roughly one-quarter. "Global SMB software spending will surpass that of hardware in 2018, upending traditional IT spending habits," added IDC VP, Customer Insights and Analysis Christopher Clue.
"More mature SMBs already recognize the value of linking software investments to business processes, and by the end of the forecast, we expect most midmarket firms will be on a path to embrace digital transformation."
Overall, growth in IT spending will be spread evenly among medium (100-499 employees), large (500-999 employees) and very large businesses, IDC forecasts, as IT spending in each grows at a 4.3 percent CAGR.
Drilling down further into the update, consumer spending will hold steady over the forecast period, rising at a forecast CAGR of just 0.3 percent. However, consumer spending on IT will rise to represent more than 20 percent of the global total and consumers will shift their spending from devices to software products and services, such as security, content management and file sharing, IDC says.

Columbia TriStar Home Video presents
"Where there's injustice, I always believed in fighting. The question is, do you fight to change things or do you fight to punish? I have found that we are all such sinners that we should leave punishment to God. And if we really want to change things... there are better ways of doing it than derailing trains or slashing someone with a sword."
DVD ReviewThe genre of historical epic is realized on many levels with Gandhi. On the broad canvas of history, the film covers the emergence of India as an independent country in the last century. Focusing on the actions of one determined man, Mahandas K. Gandhi, the film follows him from his days as an idealistic, young lawyer who immigrates to South Africa to his ascension to the spiritual leadership of an independent nation of 350 million people. Following a victory against the Apartheid laws of South Africa, Gandhi returns to India as a hero and finds himself embroiled in the high-stakes fight for Indian independence, where a divided people attempt to use him for their own ends. However, as with the British, they find him to be difficult to control.
The message of the man called Gandhi is complex and difficult to capture in a story, even as long as three hours. The screenplay somehow effortlessly achieves the difficult task of humanizing these grand figures of history, as well as lend dramatic importance to the ideas of their struggles. When Gandhi attempts to change India's Hindu society, speaks in favor of the equality of women and the elimination of the "untouchable" class, we in the West can barely comprehend the importance of these issues as a sacrifice in his grand vision for his country. While Westerners can more easily understand the familiar story of the crumbling British Empire, we have a more difficult time with the internal strife and differences that represent this large and faceted country.
The central moral battle of the 20th Century—and today—is the fight to throw off the intellectual shackles that seemed determined to divide people, whether they be political or religious. The British use the issue of protecting the Muslim minority as a reason for their continued stewardship of the Indian sub-continent. Gandhi argues that both should be unified in one India, even as Muslims within his movement scheme to create Pakistan as a free and separate free country for themselves. When Gandhi asked his people to fundamentally change their society and religion, he met incredible resistance; it is amazing how the clear expression of ideas, found common to many creeds, can excite such opposition.
It is a tribute to Gandhi that these problematic ideas are not ignored and that their presentation is in a multi-faceted manner that allows for interpretation and subjective understanding. Several people watching this movie, who have differing views going in, will see key elements in different ways. This elevates Gandhi to a level of one of the great films of world cinema, as there is much to learn about the lingering affects of colonialism in our world today.
This film dominated the Academy Awards® in 1983. Ben Kingsley, who portrays Mahatma Gandhi won Best Actor. Director Richard Attenborough, who had labored for years against difficult opposition to make this epic, won Best Director. John Briley's literate and engaging screenplay took the award for Best Writing (Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen). Technically, Gandhi picked up awards for Art Direction, Cinematography, Costume Design and Film Editing. Additionally, the film received nominations for makeup, music, original score and sound. Finally, it was awarded the Oscar® for Best Picture.
The performance by Kingsley exceeds all expectations in its subtlety and depth. Although he is impressive in those moments in which Gandhi is making speeches or appearing in a court, Kingsley also portrays Gandhi as a real-life, breathing human. When he arrives at the port in Bombay and is asked to say a few words to the crowd is beautiful acting; Kingsley becomes Gandhi, a man that is uncomfortable with his fame and hesitant about his qualifications as a leader. Yet, we also see a man who is learned, intelligent and shrewd in negotiation.
The other actors all bring an underplayed assurance and potency to their roles. The set piece scenes of conference and confrontation are marvelous bits of theater. Gandhi's quiet determination is counterpointed with the sometimes cynical, sometimes baffled actions of the bureaucrats. John Gielgud, John Mills, Edward Fox and Trevor Howard represent a powerful portion of acting. Each delivers credibly by bringing their own characters to life, no matter how brief the screen time, as well as a powerful, institutional characterization of British rule through the integrity of their work. The actors who portray the Indians are no less important in their efforts to lend an apparent authenticity to the proceedings. Rohini Hallangady as Kasturba Gandhi, Alyque Padamsee as Jinnah, and Roshan Seth as Pandit Nehru are all standouts.
Director Richard Attenborough created a cinematic work of art with his execution of such an amazingly ambitious project. It is just difficult to find a false note through the film as a piece of fictionalized history. The beauty of the country of India becomes a character on its own in Attenborough's loving portrayal of it. As the movie proceeds and the leaders of the Indian Congress speak of a place called "India," we have some sensation of this incredible place they are talking about. All the elements combine for a potent dramatic experience.
This film is really required viewing for anyone who loves motion pictures, as it is certainly one of the finest biographical epics ever made. As an intellectual adventure into the recent history of India, a country so impenetrable for Westerners, Gandhi challenges our world view, as human civilization grapples with the problems of the modern era. As a drama, it brings us face to face with the fundamental issues of human relations such as liberty and justice.
Rating for Style: A
Rating for Substance: A
Image Transfer
Image Transfer Review: The widescreen, anamorophic, 2.35:1 image transfer is particularly fine. Moving from scenes of grandeur to those of intense intimacy is a treat for the eyes. Comments have been made about epic movies of this era, since they were made before the prevalence of computer generated effects; the high cost of filmmaking will probably mean that epics will never be made like this again. The Oscars®-awarded the film set a high standard of expectation and here the technical achievements of Gandhi are delivered in tact.
Image Transfer Grade: A-
Audio Transfer
Audio Transfer Review: The English 5.1 mix is excellently executed. Great care has been taken to space sound effects to complement the visuals. The surround channels are most often used to enhance the musical score and this is used to great effect in pulling us into the events depicted. Both the French and Spanish channels are Dolby 2.0 and are decent, quality listening.

Extra Extras:
The menus are quite beautiful and not overly annoying, as some elaborate menu systems can be. Access is quick and logical. However, the package does advertise "motion images" in the scene selection and mine did not have this.
With historical epics, I have often bemoaned the lack of information included that helps define and illuminate the real person portrayed in the drama. Lawrence of Arabia was a major release that provided excellent historical detail that greatly enhanced understanding of the film. There is a decent stab at providing context on this disc. The extras make a nice connection between the real Mahatma Gandhi and the fictional man through various documentary elements. Surprisingly, for a beloved recent epic like this, there is no commentary track. In his interview comments, Ben Kingsley refers to forces against the film that found many mistakes, once it was finished. A daring type of commentary, especially for a disc of this type, would be to have representatives from both sides of the issue debate the questions of authenticity while watching the movie.
Ben Kingsley Talk About Gandhi (19m:13s): This is a very interesting series of reflections by Oscar®-winner Kingsley about the film, its cast and its subject. It is marvelous to see an actor of Kingsley's quality speak so articulately about the process of acting, and engagingly so about his fellow actors and crew members.
The Making of Gandhi Photo Montage (05m:19s): This is worth at least one look, if only to hear the lovely music of Ravi Shankar. The pictures are interesting, but not annotated in any way.
The Words of Mahatma Gandhi (01m:52s): This short slideshow of quotes, with music, helps to associate the fictional character of Gandhi with the real man. Something perhaps more useful would have been an essay about his writings; but to see Gandhi's actual words is very potent.
Newsreel Footage: The newsreel footage is fascinating on two levels. On one hand, we see the real Gandhi in actual historical settings, some of which are portrayed in the film; on the other hand, we are seeing the source material that Kingsley and Attenborough used to created the filmic Gandhi and can marvel at the fidelity of their vision: Gandhi Goes To England (03m:36s)
Gandhi's Farewell Talk to Europe (01m:04s)
Mahatma Gandhi Begins Death Fast (47s)
Gandhi Talks: First Talking Picture Ever Made by India's Famous Leader (04m:15s)
Filmographies: This section is nicely conceived and contributes to the impact of the film by showing the substantial credentials of those involved. Attenborough utilizes the gravitas of some great English actors to add potency to the characters they play. Edward Fox, Trevor Howard, John Gielgud bring lifetimes of screen presence to their roles and enhance the power of the portrayal of Colonial Britain. These actors also add potency to their scenes with Kingsley, as he is able to play off their presence to enhance the depiction of such a man facing off with an empire. Included are:
Richard Attenborough
John Briley (writer)
Ben Kingsley
Edward Fox
Candice Bergen
Trevor Howard
John Gielgud
John Mills
Martin Sheen
There is a slight error in the Filmographies section. When you access the Trevor Howard listing, the picture shown is actually John Mills. Then when accessing the John Mills section, the picture shown is a group shot featuring Kingsley.
Extras Grade: A
Final CommentsA great film and a great DVD. Richard Attenborough's Gandhi is a recommended addition to any collection, both for the film's excellence and its realization as home theater entertainment. Gorgeous for its visuals and engrossing in its writing and acting, this is one of the finest biographical epics ever made. Besides all that, its subject matter is important and engagingly portrayed. Ben Kingsley gives a great performance, supported by a cast of thousands, as he brings to life one of the most beloved figures of the 20th Century.

Hanging on to grill season
Summer is officially over, but we'll be hanging on to grill season a bit longer. Some days when that Midwest wind is blowing, it's pretty hard to keep the grill going...but desperate times call for desperate measures. And in those times of desperation, the grill sometimes gets rolled into the garage to finish up. But once the snow starts falling, it's time to give up for the season. That means we still have a few good weeks left.
And see why I'm hanging on? I sure will miss my friend, New York Strip, when it gets too brutal to man the grill.

One common symptom of an eating disorder is the perceived need to eliminate or restrict certain foods. Extreme restriction of certain foods may indicate the presence of a disorder such as Anorexia Nervosa or Orthorexia. Restricted food groups often include processed foods, fast foods, or foods that are higher in sugar and fats (snack items, sweets, and desserts).
Alternatively, someone struggling with Compulsive Overeating or Binge Eating Disorder might alternate between periods of severe overconsumption and total restriction. It is important that intensive work is done in treatment to normalize both one's attitudes toward and intake of such foods when working to reintroduce that person to the variety, novelty, and pleasure of eating.
The term "all foods fit" is often used to emphasize that there are no "good" foods or "bad" foods. The idea that no food has a moral value is an important concept in removing judgments and distortions that often form in disordered eating beliefs and practices.
Unfortunately, it is also common for foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to become associated with eating disorder patterns. For example, a client once said "Focusing on eating vegetables was something I did when I was restricting or I started focusing on clean eating. If I was having salads, it meant I was dieting, denying, or punishing myself." In a situation where food is restricted, working on accepting and practicing the idea that all food has a place in a healthy diet is essential. By re-incorporating all of the vital components of a balanced diet, individuals can develop an eating pattern free of eating disorder behaviors.

When the Toilet Paper Runs Out
Concern about the coronavirus is sweeping our world – evidenced by empty shelves that were once fully stocked with toilet paper. So what are people turning to when the toilet paper runs out? Kleenex and even newspapers. Yes, An Australian newspaper printed an extra eight pages to be used as toilet paper after coronavirus fears prompted customers to bulk buy supplies, leaving some supermarket shelves bare.* What do people turn to when they can't control quarantines, school closings, financial crisis, illness, and death? Hopefully, we turn to God. Psalm 46:1-2 is a good reminder. "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change and though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea." Refuge and strength. Very present help. If you haven't yet, turn to Him when your ability to control runs out.
Heavenly Father, thank You that at any time, day or night, You are a present help, our refuge and strength. We love You and praise You.

Here's another bathroom that we've converted into an easy access wet room, this time in Prestood, Buckinghamshire.
Our team were on hand to offer all the advice required by the customer, who was keen to take advantage of our experience. In a matter of days we turned their existing bathroom - which was no longer suitable for their limited movement - into a modern, bright and highly accessible wet room.
As you can see from the pictures, the facilities are now very functional for the customer and using them will no longer be a difficult or stressful process. They has this to say about Innovation:
"Steve was helpful and thoughtful when we were deciding on our bathroom design, giving good advice. Once the job started, his team turned up on time, did what they said they would and were amazingly polite and cheerful. Nothing we asked for was a problem, although I am sure some of our requests were challenging; all the fittings were as we wanted them, and they left the house clean at the end of each day. We are very pleased and satisfied with their work and our new bathroom; I would recommend them to anyone."

UPDATED - Sprinter Libby Clegg won her second gold after winning the T11 200m title last night (Tuesday, Sept 13).
UPDATED - GOLD! Dame Sarah Storey takes the total to FIVE after winning the Women's Time Trial C5 last night (Wednesday, Sept 14).
The town's paralympic athletes have scored themselves a triple gold in Rio – with more yet to come.
Dame Sarah Storey and Sophie Thornhill, who are both from Poynton, each won a gold in the velodrome, and runner Libby Clegg, who was born in Bollington, came out on top in the women's 100m T11 on Saturday.
Libby was hoping to add another medal tonight (Tuesday, September 13) when she will compete in the Women's 200m T11 final.
And Libby's brother, Stephen, is still going for gold in the pool, with three more events yet to take place.
It was a record breaking games for Storey, who lives in Disley with husband Barney and their three-year-old daughter Louisa, who has become the UK's most decorated Paralympic athlete of the modern era.
The 38-year-old won her 12th gold medal in the C5 three-kilometres individual pursuit.
Storey began her Paralympic career as a swimmer, winning five gold, eight silver and three bronze medals.
And since switching to the bike for Beijing 2008, she has won a further seven gold medals.
She said: "To go quicker than London after having my daughter Louisa is the icing on the cake.
"You can never underestimate anyone on the other side of the track. It's amazing and I don't think it will sink for a very long time."
Sarah will compete in her fourth event - the women's Road Race C4-5 - on Saturday (September 17) at 1.45pm.
Twenty-year-old Sophie Thornhill, who won gold in the Women's B 1,000m time trial with pilot Helen Scott, also collected a bronze for her efforts in the Women's B 3000 Individual Pursuit.
Tweeting after the competition she said: "Words can't describe today! Paralympic champions! What a feeling! Incredible!"
Stephen Clegg, 20, made his Paralympic debut at Rio, but narrowly missed out on reaching the final of his first event.
He will now compete in the Men's 100m Backstroke S12 today (Wednesday, September 14). The heats are just after 2pm and the final will be 11.30pm; the Men's 100m Freestyle S13 next Friday, (September 16) with Stephen set to compete in the heats at 3pm, with the final scheduled for 11.24pm; Men's 50m Freestyle S12 on Saturday, (September 17). He'll compete in the heats at 2.15pm and the final will be at 10pm.
The leader of Cheshire East Council has hailed the athletes' successes.
She said: "I am sure that everyone in Cheshire East will join me in congratulating each and every one of our local athletes on their tremendous success.
"We are all very proud of what they have achieved on the world stage and these incredible results are testament to their dedication and the hard work they have put in over many, many years.
"I hope they really enjoy their much-deserved medals and sense of achievement!"

Recall news from Ducati North America today, as the entire Ducati Panigale V4 lineup is being recalled because fuel might spray out of the bike's fuel tank…again.
This happens when there is an excessive amount of pressure in the fuel tank, which may cause fuel to spray when opening the fuel cap. Obviously, spraying fuel can lead to a safety hazard, hence the recall.
In total, 1,880 superbike are affected by this recall, which includes all the Panigale V4 variants from 2017 thru 2019 – this means the Panigale V4, Panigale V4 S, Panigale V4 Speciale, and Panigale V4 R.
To remedy the issue, Ducati North America will notify affected owners, and Ducati dealers will update the fuel cap venting system, provide an updated page for the owner's manual, and affix a warning label decal to the fuel tank, free of charge. This recall is expected to begin July 13, 2019.
Concerned Panigale V4 owners may contact Ducati customer service at 1-888-391-5446. Ducati's number for this recall is SRV-RCL-19-001.
Of note, this recall includes motorcycles that may have been previously remedied under recall 18V-238 for a similar issue.
As always, the NHTSA is also available at 1-888-327-4236 and safercar.gov.

10th Feb 2019 till 25th April 2019. (75 Days)
Additional Prayers 26th April 2019 till 23rd May 2019. (28 Days)
Aum Sai Ram.
Jai Sai Ram.
Well & Wish to hear the same from you. It is been a long time writing to you all. First & Foremost a Very Happy Fun Filled, God Blessed, Healthy, Prosperous & Successful English/Georgian Calender New Year 2019.
With the Divine Blessings & Grace of Mother, God & Sadguru, It all started in 2008 when I started Performing the Puja for Couple of Distressed Children who were going to write their Annual/Final Exams & I wanted to give them Mother's & Guru's Blessing to perform well & Score the Best.
I'll be Performing Special Sri Sai Baba & Sri Saraswati Samuhika/Group Puja for All the Students who are going to face Different Exams in the coming months of February, March, April & May 2019.
I've Successfully Completed 11 years of Special Sri Sai Baba & Saraswati Samuhika/Group Prayers With around 3500+ students getting benefited in the Past 11 Yrs.
This is the 12th Year that I'm performing this Puja to Benefit Sai's Children attending their exams.
I'm Commencing the Prayers from Sunday, 10th February 2019 – Vasantha Panchami which is famous for Saraswati Avahana & Saraswathi Puja. Basantha Panchami or Vasantha Panchami is the Panchami Thithi during Shukla Paksham of Magha Masam.
Instead of commencing Special Puja Starting on the Thursday After Vasantha Panchami, I'm commencing Puja from Vasantha Panchami Thithi which is on Sunday, 10th Feb 2019.
Vasantha Panchami Details:
Vasant Panchami is a festival dedicated to Goddess Saraswati. There is no specified time for performing Saraswati puja on this day, however it is stated that all the rituals should be performed when the 'Panchami' (5th day) thithi is prevailing.
On the day of Vasant Panchami, people dress up in yellow clothes. Yellow is a colour that signifies vibrancy of life and vividness of nature. Young girls particularly adorn bright yellow dresses and participate in the festivities. Yellow is also known to be the colour of love, prosperity and purity.
The devotees get up early and begin preparations for worshipping Goddess Saraswati. The idols of Saraswati are beautifully adorned and devotees offer prayers with full devotion.
On this day Yellow or White Coloured Flowers are offered to Goddess Saraswati and special bhog of 'Kesar Halwa' made from flour, nuts, sugar and cardamom powder is prepared. This preparation also includes saffron strands giving it mild fragrance and vibrant yellow colour.
Havan and other puja rituals are performed on this day. After the puja, the Prasad is distributed among all the students and devotees.
The day of Vasant Panchami holds special significance for students. As Saraswati is the Goddess of wisdom and knowledge, students worship Her with immense fervour and zeal.
They keep their notebooks, pens and pencils near Goddess Saraswati's feet and ask for enlightenment.
The day of Vasant Panchami is also considered auspicious for initiating studies in young children. This tradition is called ''Vidya Arambham' or 'Akshar Abhyasam' and is very predominant in different parts of the country. Schools and colleges organize special events on this day.

Laval 6, Concordia 2: Women's Soccer Team Routed in Poor Performance.
Laval Rouge et Or Pick Stingers Apart in Convincing Fashion on a Friday Night Plagued by Fierce Rain
Notwithstanding the severe weather conditions, The Rouge et Or proved to be good as gold. A few dedicated Concordia supporters saw their team suffer a tough loss to an experienced Laval side that exposed a noticeable weakness in the starting Stinger's 11: defence.
"They're fast so you gotta be smart defensively," said head coach Greg Sutton. "They play with a bunch of players in advanced positions on the field so if you don't get enough pressure in the midfield it's tough to manage that."
It was difficult for Concordia to get into any type of rhythm against a strong Laval team who moved the ball effectively, keeping possession for long stretches the entire game. The sound group exploited Concordia's defence in the first 45 minutes, scoring three goals.
Their first goal came just five minutes into the game, when Laval striker Dominique Fortin made good use of a corner to score her second goal of the season, giving her team the early advantage.
Despite Laval dominating the ball, spreading Concordia's midfield out wide and connecting seemingly at will on all their passes, the Stingers were able to retaliate. In the 16th minute Claudia Asselin—who leads the team in scoring—placed a timely header in the bottom right corner that left Laval's goalie flat footed and the game even at one.
At this point in the game, the Stingers had life and began to play with conviction, but the momentum quickly shifted back Laval's way after star winger Mireille Patry was sprung by a solid build up in the midfield. It gave her a clean look on goal versus Concordia goalie Olivia Desgroseilliers—who was eventually pulled before the end of the first half—and she did what the Rouge et Or did all night: score.
That deflating goal scored just three minutes after the Stingers had equalized not only gave Laval an edge in terms of the score, but psychologically as well.
"We always knew that Laval's gonna be a really strong team", Humes said. "We knew it was going to be a tough game. I think we need to be better mentally. As soon as they scored their second, [and then] third goal we kinda lost handle of the game."
The onslaught continued with Patry leading the way once more, stamping her mark on the night. She collected a game-high three points, scoring two goals alongside a helper in the 25th minute as Laval marched down the field netting their third goal of the half.
While the Rouge et Or held a comfortable 3-1 lead heading into the locker rooms, coach Sutton believed his side lacked the extra push to pursue the ball. They were always second to the ball and it hurt them all contest.
"We have to be a little bit more reactionary. I think our reactions weren't too great as well," said Sutton.
In what was reminiscent of the opening minutes of the game, Laval began the second half with a quick goal courtesy of forward Jessica Bunker, who scored her fourth goal of the season in the 47th minute.
After Mireille Patry had made it 5-1 with a clever play down the right wing, the Stingers were able to answer and deliver a morally important goal in the 74th minute by Sarah Humes, whom expressed her thoughts on what needs to change for the future.
"I think we're starting to find out what our starting 11 should be and we tried a different formation tonight, obviously it didn't work in some areas but we did have success in others," said Humes. "What we really need to improve is scoring and creating chances. Going forward we need to be working on that."
Concordia's experiment of a formation left an inviting hole in the midfield area that ultimately enabled an experienced Laval Rouge et Or attack to gobble up the ball and score their sixth and final goal of the night, with Laurie Couture sprinting past the Concordia defence and tapping in her second goal of the year at the 82nd minute.
