"And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission." Hebrews 9:22.
1. What did the apostle Paul call the covenant made at Sinai?
Hebrews 9:1 Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.
"Another compact
"Here is revealed the sanctuary of the new covenant. The sanctuary of the first covenant was pitched by man, built by Moses; this is pitched by the Lord, not by man. In that sanctuary the earthly priests performed their service; in this, Christ, our great High Priest, ministers at God's right hand. One sanctuary was on earth, the other is in heaven." – The Great Controversy, p. 413.
2. What services were conducted in the tabernacle made by Moses?
Hebrews 9:2-7 For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary. And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly. Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people.
"The ministration of the sanctuary consisted of two divisions, a daily and a yearly service. The daily service was performed at the altar of burnt offering in the court of the tabernacle, and in the holy place while the yearly service was in the most holy….
"The daily service consisted of the morning and evening burnt offering, the offering of sweet incense on the golden altar, and the special offerings for individual sins. And there were also offerings for Sabbaths, new moons, and special feasts.
"Every morning and evening a lamb of a year old was burned upon the altar, with its appropriate meat offering, thus symbolizing the daily consecration of the nation to Jehovah, and their constant dependence upon the atoning blood of Christ. God expressly directed that every offering presented for the service of the sanctuary should be 'without blemish'…. Only an offering 'without blemish' could be a symbol of His perfect purity who was to offer Himself as 'a lamb without blemish and without spot.' 1 Peter 1:19. The apostle Paul points to these sacrifices as an illustration of what the followers of Christ are to become. He says, 'I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.' " – The Faith I Live By, p. 196.
"Once a year, on the great Day of Atonement, the priest entered the most holy place for the cleansing of the sanctuary. The work there performed, completed the yearly round of ministration." –The Faith I live By, p. 198.
3. What could the services in the tabernacle not do for man?
Hebrews 9:9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience.
"In His teaching, Christ sought to educate and train the Jews to see the object of that which was to be abolished by the true offering of Himself, the living Sacrifice. 'Go ye,' said He, 'and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy and not sacrifice.' He presented a pure character as of supreme importance. He dispensed with all pomp, demanding that faith that works by love and purifies the soul, as the only qualification required for the kingdom of heaven. He taught that true religion does not consist in forms or ceremonies, outward attractions or outward display. Christ would have taken these to Himself if they had been essential in the formation of a character after the divine similitude. But His citizenship, His divine authority, rested upon His own intrinsic merits. He, the Majesty of heaven, walked the earth, shrouded in the robe of humanity. All His attractions and triumphs were to be revealed in behalf of man, and were to testify to His living connection with God." – Fundamentals of Christian
4. For how long were the services in the earthly tabernacle effective?
Hebrews 9:10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.
5. What change took place when Christ was crucified?
Hebrews 9:11, 12 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
"When as a sinless offering Christ bowed His head and died, when by the Almighty's unseen hand the veil of the temple was rent in twain, a new and living way was opened. All can now approach God through the merits of Christ. It is because the veil has been rent that men can draw nigh to God. They need not depend on priest or ceremonial sacrifice. Liberty is given to all to go directly to God through a personal Saviour.
"It is God's pleasure and will that the blessings bestowed on man shall be given in perfect completeness. He has made provision that every difficulty may be overcome, every want supplied through the Holy Spirit. Thus He designs that man shall perfect a Christian character. God would have us contemplate His love, His promises, given so freely to those who have no merit in themselves. He would have us depend fully, gratefully, rejoicingly, in the righteousness provided for us in Christ. To all who come to God in His appointed way, He freely listens." – Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, vol. 7, p. 932.
6. What sacrifices did Christ make for man's redemption?
Hebrews 9:13, 14 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
"As the high priest sprinkled the warm blood upon the mercy seat while the fragrant cloud of incense ascended before God, so, while we confess our sins and plead the efficacy of Christ's atoning blood, our prayers are to ascend to heaven, fragrant with the merits of our Saviour's character. Notwithstanding our unworthiness, we are to remember that there is One who can take away sin, and who is willing and anxious to save the sinner. With His own blood He paid the penalty for all wrongdoers. Every sin acknowledged before God with a contrite heart, He will remove." – Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, vol. 7, p. 970.
7. What was possible for man to obtain through the new testament made by Christ?
Hebrews 9:15-18 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.
" 'In three days I will raise it up.' In the Saviour's death the powers of darkness seemed to prevail, and they exulted in their victory. But from the rent sepulcher of Joseph, Jesus came forth a conqueror. 'Having spoiled principalities and powers, He made a show of them openly, triumphing over them.' Col. 2:15. By virtue of His death and resurrection He became the minister of the 'true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.' Heb. 8:2. Men reared the Jewish tabernacle; men builded the Jewish temple; but the sanctuary above, of which the earthly was a type, was built by no human architect. 'Behold the Man whose name is The Branch; . . . He shall build the temple of the Lord; and He shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon His throne; and He shall be a priest upon His throne.' Zech. 6:12, 13." –The Desire of Ages, pp. 165, 166.
"The sacrificial service that had pointed to Christ passed away; but the eyes of men were turned to the true sacrifice for the sins of the world. The earthly priesthood ceased; but we look to Jesus, the minister of the new covenant, and 'to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.' 'The way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: . . . but Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, . . . by His own blood He entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.' Heb. 12:24; 9:8-12." –The Desire of Ages, p. 166.
8. How many times must Christ make a sacrifice for man?
Hebrews 9:23-28 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

Weather Smart Water Resources Management in South Africa – Mission accomplished!
On Monday the 16th April, Agnes Maenhout kicked off the course 'Weather Smart Water Resources Management' in Nelspruit, South Africa. Trainers from South Africa and The Netherlands gave this new course to employees of the IUCMA (Inkomati - Usuthu Catchment Management Agency). The participants were assembled in a lodge with a nice and calm environment, far from their office to fully be dedicated and concentrated to learn.
IUCMA is responsible for water management in South Africa across the basin of the Komati and Usuthu rivers. In this area the fair distribution of water, cooperation with stakeholders and ecological and economic aspects play a big role. Good water management and use of sufficient weather data leads to better decision making in water management and communication to stakeholders. The team executing this Nuffic-funded project consisted of Dutch and South African organizations: World Water Academy / AquaDactics, Hydrologic, South African Weather Services and Kingfisher (Water Authority Drents Overijsselse Delta and Water Authority Limburg).
Modular course
The purpose of this three modular course of seven days was to train employees of the IUCMA in water resource management in combination of weather predictions. and the use of dashboards such as Hydronet. In the first module the basic knowledge on water quality (photo 1), water quantity (photo 2) and the relationship between both was discussed and applied to the situation in South Africa (photo 3). In the second module on Weather & Water Management, participants predicted weather conditions and practiced with rain gauges. To ultimately be able to translate this information and knowledge into advise about how weather information can be used in water management. A third module was dedicated to the practical use of Hydronet as dashboard of the South African CMAs.
Action-learning approach
World Water Academy used the action-learning approach to design the modules and to develop the materials. The learning efficiency and thus the learning result is proven to be higher when using this approach where participants are actively involved in the course execution. They shared experiences and awareness on the integration of water quality and water quantity grew. As results the participants showed great enthusiasm in group work on the examples and assignments.
Training of Trainer
The aim of this project is to roll-out this course to all CMAs in South Africa. That is why a Train de Trainer course is given for a select group of employees of IUCMA. This group are supposed to become local trainers to provide training to peers at the other CMAs. The future trainers learned how to use a training program with activating teaching methods. During this training parts of the Weather Smart Water Resources Management program has been used as example. The participants experienced how to perform well as a trainer, how participants learn, how an audience keep listening and how to manage your time! The impact of good preparation, passionate training delivery, using activating methods and time management was highlighted.
Well-received course
Participants gave enthusiastic feedback on the course. They highlighted the content provided and the interactive way in which this course was delivered. We, as trainers, looked back to an exciting and energizing week with a big smile on our face.
For more information about this project, please contact Agnes Maenhout.

Thank you again to all of you who stuck with me and to the new readers who came by. I found a few new blogs to read and was delighted that Hilary (who I had seen on others' blogs) was doing the challenge, too. I thoroughly enjoyed her A to Z castles posts.
The following three things were meant for challenge posts, but fell by the wayside. So here they are - three leftover random good things. :)
- D is for Drain Cover. I spotted this on my walk at the park off Collier Road and thought what a nice job someone did designing this drain cover. Love the fish surrounded by water plants design.

He Walks Among the Trees
A loving Personality dominates the Bible, walking among the trees of the garden and breathing fragrance over every scene. Always a living Person is present, speaking, pleading, loving, working, and manifesting himself whenever and wherever his people have the receptivity necessary to receive the manifestation.
–A. W. Tozer,
The Pursuit of God
A Sure Rock
Resting on the Word . . .
we are on a sure rock,
against which all
the waves of error
dash themselves
only to be scattered
as mist and foam.
–Edward Dennet
We must tell stories
We must tell stories the way God does, stories in which a sister must float her little brother on a river with nothing but a basket between him and the crocodiles. Stories in which a king is a coward, and a shepherd boy steps forward to face the giant. Stories with fiery serpents and leviathans and sermons in whirlwinds.
Stories in which murderers are blinded on donkeys and become heroes. Stories with dens of lions and fiery furnaces and lone prophets laughing at kings and priests and demons. Stories with heads on platters. Stories with courage and crosses and redemption. Stories with resurrections.
―N. D. Wilson
Water into wine
Looking beyond
The purpose of the Bible is that you may look through it and see Jesus Christ. Some people stop with the Bible. . . . But I say that the Bible is not a thing to be analyzed, criticized, outlined and examined, just for it's own sake. That would be just like sitting in a room and writing a book about a window, without seeing the ocean with its waves curling up the beach or the way the lights and clouds play upon the water.
The Bible is not an end in itself
any more than a window
is an end in itself.
The window allows us to see the beauty that lies beyond. The Bible is the way to life in Jesus Christ.

Lifelong journey
To read the Bible for knowledge is tiresome. To read the Bible as a docudrama is boring. To read the Bible as a book of rules is deadening. But to read the Bible as a love letter from a Friend, and to meet that Friend in the text of Scripture, is to pack your bags for a lifelong journey.
–Leonard Sweet
Theological fitness
The difficulty for the Calvinist is that he keeps running into Arminian verses, and similarly the Arminian is discomforted by those reoccurring Calvinist texts. Makes you wonder how all that stuff got into Holy Scripture. But the upside is this—it's what stretches Bible students and keeps them active and physically fit. Paul recognized the benefits of keeping mobile when he wrote: theological acrobatics profiteth a little. There's no rest for the wicked—nor for Biblical scholars. Just when you've got it all nailed down, one of those awkward verses crops up again. It appears God is much less interested in our tidy theological schemes that we are.
–J. O. Schulz

Trinity changes everything
Knowing that our God, the Trinitarian God, is the true God changes everything and happily so. Only in a God who is triune would we expect to find creativity, generosity, diversity, relationality and so much more.
What kind of a Bible would this God give to us? It would be a gift, not a burden. It would probably be chock full of different kinds of writings from different authors in different cultures and different languages. It would reflect the glorious multi-coloured diversity and abundant generosity of a world created by this kind of God.
I suppose we'd expect to find everything from engaging narrative to stirring poetry to rousing speeches and thrilling epic adventure and glimpses into the past and visions of the future. I think it would make you want to sing, to cry, to laugh, to celebrate, to contemplate, to marvel, to thrill, to share, to give, to live in response to all that is found there…
Only a Trinitarian God would give us a Book like that.
–Peter Mead
He still seeks
As in paradise,
God walks in
the Holy Scriptures,
seeking man.
–St. Ambrose of Milan
(339 – 397)

He still walks in the garden
A loving Personality dominates the Bible, walking among the trees of the garden and breathing fragrance over every scene. Always a living Person is present, speaking, pleading, loving, working, and manifesting himself whenever and wherever his people have the receptivity necessary to receive the manifestation.

Looking for a Person
Getting into the story
Stories are the most prominent biblical way of helping us see ourselves in "the God story," which always gets around to the story of God making and saving us.
Stories, in contrast
to abstract statements of truth,
tease us into becoming participants
in what is being said.
We find ourselves involved in the action. We may start out as spectators or critics, but if the story is good (and the biblical stories are very good!), we find ourselves no longer just listening to but inhabiting the story.
—Eugene Peterson
Finding more than "principles"
God tried sending His "principles" once. It didn't work. He then sent a Son, not a book of principles. The book reveals the Son. If we have the principles, and miss the Person, we miss everything that matters.
–Stephen Crosby
Creation renewed
What is clearly written
Powerful promises
In the hearts of men (and women)
He is the story
His livingness
The Word of God is not my possession. The words printed on the pages of my Bible give witness to the living active revelation of the God of creation and salvation, the God of love who became the Word made flesh in Jesus, and I had better not forget it. If in my Bible reading I lose touch with His livingness, if I fail to listen to this living Jesus, submit to this sovereignty and respond to this love, I become arrogant in my knowing and impersonal in my behaviour.
–Eugene Peterson

Using Workflows or Supplier Documents with your projects
This article describes how to set up different sets of review labels and make them available for use by selected participants on their workflows.
Project participants will then use the review statuses you set up when they are reviewing documents as part of a Workflows or Supplier Documents process.
Before you start, click the Reviews tab. If you see a message saying you do not have permission to access this page, contact your Organization Administrator to assign you a user role with the required permissions.
Check and create Workflows Status Sets
A Project Owner has the option of using the standard set of review labels or they can create custom sets for use on different types of workflows.
Scroll to Workflow Status Sets.
This is where you see the default, standard set of review statuses, and where you control the review status labels that are available within your project's workflows. You can also decide if you want to map review statuses to a document status on entry and completion of the workflow. To change the review statuses this project will use by default:
Click New Status Set.
- Give the status set a name.
- If you want to update documents' statuses automatically at the start and end of the workflow, click on the checkbox to Automatically update the document status.
- If you completed Step C, you need to choose a document status that will automatically be given to a document when it starts going through a workflow. To do this, select an option from the Document Status on Entry selector.
- Enter up to six review status labels. The labels must be ordered so that the status that has the least influence on the review appears at the top of the list, and the one that has the greatest influence on it is at the bottom. The colors beside these labels are used to color-code your Aconex Workflows reports.
- If you completed Step C, you'll need to select a document status to correspond to each review status label you've created. Choose these from the dropdown menus beside each review status label.
Click Save to save your new status set.
- The new set is now available to people with role settings that allow them to create Workflows templates on your project. But to make it the new default set, click on the dropdown next to the Default Set label and select your new set, then click Save at top-right of the page. All users who can create workflow templates will be able to use this project default.
Configure the Supplier Document Status Set
If your project uses the Supplier Documents module, you'll need to complete the Supplier Document Status Set section.
This section lists all of the default Review Status labels. Simply check the box next to the status that you want to complete a Supplier Documents submission.
The latest set of labels will automatically be locked to any Supplier Documents packages that are activated.
Finishing this page
Complete the remaining sections of the page.
Click the Save button at the top right of the screen.
Double-check your work on this screen. Workflows won't work for your project participants unless all sections are completed.
Assign review sets to roles
Make sure the right people have access to the relevant review sets.
- Click the Mail/Documents Role Settings tab.
- Click on the name of the role you want to assign a review set to.
- Click the Review Status Sets tab.
- Either double-click on items in the Available Review Status Sets list to move them into the Selected Review Status Sets list, or click to select an Available status and click the right-pointing arrows to move it into the Selected list.
- Click OK to save the review sets to this role.
- Repeat this process for other roles as you need to.
Once you've completed this process, anyone on the project who needs to set up Workflows templates, and has the roles for which you've assigned certain review sets, will be able to choose from those sets when they set up a new template.
You can now configure whether review status is retained on supersede.

Our visit to Norway was part of a longer trip that also included Iceland and Sweden. See the complete itinerary here: 10 Day Itinerary.
This was my favorite part of the trip.
For Chris it was Iceland and the wild wilderness. For Ben it was catching fish on a lake near Stockholm (more to come on that) and for Emma it was the hot tub at one of our (rental) vacation houses.
For me it was this island. My god, this place was magical.
Here was our tiny slice of heaven:
The house was built in the 1890's. The red boathouse and dock are newer additions, as are the hot water and flushing toilet. Lovely historical buildings with modern day conveniences: definitely our preferred accommodation combo.
The true attraction was the private sandy beach situated on a calm little cove. And the house came with a boat. The fishermen of the family were excited.
The island is perhaps a few miles long and has about 50 houses spread out along its length. A passenger ferry makes daily stops in the village but there are no shops or restaurants on the island. An aerial of the island can be found here. Look for the designation 'Sandukta' on the middle west side of the island after you zoom in. The red roof house was our abode.
Our little fishing helper. Wants to do everything the big brother does.
We also had a nightly fire and ate dozens of smores. It's what you do on vacation, right?!
There aren't any cars on the island, just a dirt road and hiking trails. We spent a few days picking wild blue berries and exploring.
Have I mentioned that there were sheep on the island? Every summer a farmer brings his flock over from the mainland and the wee beasties spend their time grazing on the island's interior pastures.
We saw zero people on the island during our stay. Zero. But we did see a LOT of sheep. Ben thought it was a hoot to give chase. They were not amused.
Occasionally you'd be walking down the road and get the weird feeling that you were being watched. Sneaking, spying sheep.
There was a tiny little marina on the south end of the island. I would like to meet the person that named their boat "Placebo Gorilla". Random, yes?
More apples. Now every time Ben wants an apple, he'll say: "Mama can I please have one of the delicious pink lady ones?"
Sandukta is the name of the house on the island.
Weirdly enough, sheep have much longer tails than I'd previously thought. I always thought of them as little nubbins.
We were doing our nightly fire when suddenly Ben yelled: "Mom, this is the giantest frog I've ever seen!" I didn't have to look far as it was practically sitting next to me. Furthermore, I wasn't expecting a six inch toad to be hanging 'round the family campfire but perhaps he needed a bit of company.
There is one slightly venomous snake that does live in Southern Norway (and on the island) and we were thankful not to have spotted one of those particular specimens. I got the impression that people don't really freak out about the snake; like it was a bite that would send you to the hospital but you probably wouldn't keel over and die sort of bite. Regardless, we were happy not to have to find out about what sort of bite it was exactly.
We did a boat trip around the island. It rained a bit but we kept spirits up with copious quantities of treats and promises of warm showers upon our arrival back at the house. We're hardy Pacific Northwesterners, right?!
On our last day we had a little sheep adventure. The old one room brick schoolhouse in the middle of the island has been converted into a vacation home and is fenced to keep the sheep from coming into the garden and tasting all the delicious flowers that the owners have carefully cultivated. Unfortunately we noticed that an ewe and two lambs had managed to squirrel their way into the yard for dinner. Furthermore, we guessed that the the owners were off-island for the week.
Team J sheepherders to the rescue!!!

Things to know before purchasing the laboratory furniture
Laboratories are very useful in society; these mostly use for researches. We can say this is the place where many analyses take birth. It is vital to have all the equipment in the lab to continue the work properly. Without the furniture, a laboratory is not in the exact form because there are plenty of tasks that cannot perform without items. We can purchase essential furniture from a laboratory furniture manufacturer. A person can get many advantages if he approaches manufacture for buying the items of the lab. It can save money, and you can have a good deal.
Things you need to consider before purchasing decision
When you are going to make the purchasing decision, then there is a need to discuss something. If we make the right decision, then the chances of getting a good deal may increase. We need to take the idea of the space of a laboratory to buy the exact items required. If we don't review the area, then we cannot decide the right quantity of the furniture.
- Space of the laboratory
You must know the exact diameter of the lab where you have to put the items. It helps us to make the buying decision; then, we purchase only the things which can fit in the lab. If a person buys the much furniture that was required, then he will bear the loss of money.
- Design
To decide the design of furniture is essential, and then you can tell the exact design to the laboratory furniture manufacturer. It is vital to choose a good design because the design of the furniture is responsible for maintaining it in the long run.
- The durability of the furniture
Whichever the lab furniture, you are going to buy, put the durability into account. We need to have durable items so that these will work in the long run. If these items work for the long term, then we don't need to make a purchase quickly, and it saves money.
- Price
When a person is making the purchasing decision, he should keep one eye on the price. See the quality of the items, and according to it, pays the costs for lab furniture.

By DAVID ROCK, BETH JONES & CAMILLE INGE
The NeuroLeadership Institute (NLI) has been closely studying the move away from performance ratings since 2011, when a few organizations had publicly made the shift. By fall of 2015, between 50 and 70 large companies had abolished ratings-centric performance management (PM), including Accenture, Deloitte, and GE.
As others consider following suit, they naturally have questions about the challenges, benefits, and implementation of "non-ratings-centric" PM. The experience of a small number of these companies has been catalogued but there are few larger-scale analyses of PM innovators.
This report is one of the largest field studies to date of organizations who have made the leap beyond appraisal scores…

text: Answer to "Logic board get hot after I replaced the screen"It's the display. iPhone 7 and up don't have a physical home button so in the instance that you connect the flex cable that runs the home button you can run into this issue. Doesn't happen all the time but with some after market displays the button isn't coded properly. Meaning your phone just can't process the fact that you have a home button and the software never loads.

Pokemon Go news: Forget Christmas event, Niantic reveals AR Plus mode after Gen 3 LEAK
As part of the new update, Pokemon will be more accurately positioned based on their surroundings, while their size will increase or decrease depending on how close you are.
Even better is that players can now capture Pokemon in a number of different ways.
"AR+ mode also adds new dynamic gameplay to Pokemon GO encounters that will provide Trainers with more ways to catch Pokemon," Niantic explains.
"Trainers can now get closer to a Pokemon to receive a special capture bonus, but Pokemon are aware of the physical proximity of Trainers, so they must approach carefully as they may flee if a person comes too close too quickly.
"Getting closer to a Pokemon using AR+ has unique gameplay benefits, including being awarded the new Expert Handler bonus, which provides more XP and Stardust."
ORIGINAL: Pokemon Go fans have discovered plans to release a fresh batch of Gen 3 Pokemon.
Hardcore Pokemon Go fans have discovered more than 20 new Gen 3 Pokemon in the latest update files (via PogoDev).
Confirming earlier reports, the leaked Pokemon include Delibird, which is expected to drop as part of the Christmas event.
The new Gen 3 Pokemon are primarily of the Water and Ice variety, which would also tie in to a Christmas event.
This includes Ice type Pokemon such as Walden, Glalie, Sealeo and Snorunt.
Pokemon Go fans also uncovered data linked to special boxes that can be purchased from shops.
These Holiday Pokemon Go special boxes come with festive graphics, although the contents remain a mystery.
And according to the Silph Road, Niantic is already making tweaks to the new Battle Party system.
"This appears to revolve around replacing Pokemon who are in multiple parties across all parties at once," the post reads.
There's even a brand new Hoenn badge for players to unlock.
But perhaps most exciting of all is an update to the augmented reality functionality.
While nothing has been confirmed by Niantic, the new features should provide players with new ways to capture Pokemon.
Niantic has only just introduced dynamic weather effects, which better reflect real-world conditions.
As part of the new weather update, Pokemon are more likely to appear in certain conditions, and will be stronger or weaker if the weather is right.

Residents along two county maintained roads have been successful in asking county leaders for the respective speed limits to be lowered.
Precinct 1 Commissioner Peggy Banales said last week that residents on Spur Lane and County Road 50 came to her recently with a petition full of signatures, asking that the speed limits on the two roads be lowered.
The county's Public Works Department conducted a traffic count on the two roads and concluded that the speed limits could be lowered, which the county is authorized to do on county-maintained roads.
At a May 14 Nueces County Commissioners Court meeting, the speed limit revision was unanimously approved.
The new speed limits will be 25 mph on Spur Lane, down from 30 mph, and 45 mph on CR 50, which is 15 mph less than the existing speed limit.
"I'm very glad that it was resolved," Banales said.
The revised speed limits won't be put into effect until the proper signage is installed, however.
Public Works Director Glen Sullivan said the county would likely have to order signage for Spur Lane, since it is not currently in the county's stock. There is no timeline on when the new signs will be installed, he added.
The project is expected to cost about $2,000.

No matter what type of diabetes you have, you know that this disease can be life threatening and potentially damaging to your body. Having the right information is crucial in the fight against diabetes. The following article will provide you with advice to manage diabetes.
Lots of other protein-rich foods besides meat exist, such as beans, tofu, eggs, and dairy products. Avoid burnout by trying new foods and recipes.
You will be able to deal with your condition more easily if you organize yourself. As an example, leave the meter and your insulin supplies in the same location when you head off to bed each night, so you know exactly where they are in the morning. When testing, keep track of it as a routine so that you don't forget any steps. Also, try to jot down your numbers.
When you have diabetes, you need to learn to indulge your body in a healthier manner. You probably need not shun sweets entirely. When you can effectively manage your blood glucose levels, you shouldn't worry to much about sneaking in the occasional sweet treat. It may be wise to anticipate an after-meal treat by eliminating a certain amount of carbs from your main course.
If you are suffering from diabetes you should test yourself for sleep apnea. If you do have sleep apnea, seeking treatment in a timely manner is important if you want to remain healthy.
Think twice about getting a pedicure if you're diabetic. Diabetics are prone to bad foot infections, therefore you need to be especially careful of any cut or puncture you receive there.
You should always have a pack of gum or some other sugary substitute with you if you are afflicted by hypoglycemia. It is vital to your well-being that you always stay prepared because your hypoglycemia can rear its head at any time. Skipping breakfast is a bad idea that makes attacks more likely, because your body will be especially desperate for sugar.
Talk to a doctor when you are concerned that you have gestational diabetes. By not controlling gestational diabetes, you are putting the health of yourself and your baby in jeopardy. Your doctor will be able to tell you what you should eat and perhaps give you some medications.
The choices that you make in your life can have a big impact on your diabetes. Making healthy lifestyle choices will decrease your odds of developing severe complications related to your disease.

Do you know what's more painful than building your own corporate website from scratch without any experience? Hiring and paying a third party web design company to build your corporate website without any experience hiring a web design company.
There are better "tells" that indicate quality web design skills than hair gel and fancy tattoos; if you're in the market for a new corporate website, here's what to look for and what not to get too fixated on.
What Doesn't Matter
Before we investigate what matters when it comes to web design in Sydney, Australia, let's take a look at what doesn't.
Location, Location, Location
In today's wired (or wireless) world, a great location is little more than an emblem; put simply, a physical office means overhead costs and travel time.
That isn't to say that a brick-and-mortar web design business is a bad thing, it just means that it isn't a defining indicator of how successful the web design company is.
Some of the best web design companies operate out of home offices; team members organise themselves during web conferences instead of in-person meetings. No office means less commute times and more time pushing pixels.
Technologies Used
Technology-focused web design houses tend to shoe-horn their own technological preferences into solutions their clients want. In reality, it should be the other way around; how can an appropriate solution that conforms to your unique business requirements be found without enough questions being asked first?
Boiling it down – there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution that is a right fit for every business need, and if you've barely opened your mouth before an eager web design company representative is heralding the amazingness of their online tools or content management system, it might be time to move on.
Business goals should always dictate a best-of-breed solution instead of a solution dictating how you will work from that moment forward.
What Does Matter
Moving on, let's look at some factors that can't be ignored when you're considering a web design company.
Planning and Discovery
Ask your prospective web design company about their discovery and planning process; the questions they ask you during the estimation process and the discovery process should be on point and illuminate hidden complexities that might otherwise cause scope creep. It's their job to know what you don't; if they are not asking the right questions that uncover complexities or instil trust –run.
This is one area you need to be thorough; ask to see an existing planning document from a previous project and if they don't have one, what steps are they taking to ensure you don't simply 'take our word for it'. A planning document should include website use-case scenarios, wireframes, and dictate the exact functionality, technologies required, and ongoing support pricing (just to name a few things).
Industry Experience
Project portfolios are a great way to silently observe how knowledgeable your prospective website design company is in terms of your niche, market, or industry. It isn't the end of the world if they haven't worked with a company that shares a similar background as your business, but it's definitely a factor to take into account if your business model requires custom functions or industry-specific integrations.
If your prospective website design company has worked with a company in your market before, they may be able to build upon efficiencies gained during another project. Modules and functions may not need to be built from scratch, and that can translate into cost savings.
A web design company that's familiar with your line of work will understand what kind of website product you're looking for intimately, and they're easier to trust than those "just trust me" scenarios.
Asking a prospective company what their hourly rate for creating an eCommerce website design will actually provide less information than you might hope. Most website design companies will have a variable rate, with some tasks having a higher hourly rate than others. For example, JavaScript programming is typically a higher cost programming language than say, CSS or traditional HTML.
But even more importantly, sometimes there are hidden fees that have nothing to do with labour. Proprietary content management systems can come with licensing fees just for using the software. I've seen CMS' run a business $10k before a single line of code is ever written.
Some licenses are charged per software installation, others are a per-user cost. Be sure to get any license agreement in writing right off the bat; some licensing fees are so high they'll make or break a web design deal.
In Conclusion
Notice how I didn't mention programming languages or CMS platforms? Exactly. It is prudent to have an idea of what software industry leaders are using to host their websites or web-based applications before calling web design companies. You could save yourself a lot of time!

The $5.1 billion deal to buy the Costa Coffee chain by Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) is just the latest example highlighting the great lengths to which food and drinks companies are trying to keep pace with rapidly changing consumer habits that are upending traditional business models across the sector.
The former owner, Britain's Whitbread, had said it would spin off Costa, the world's second largest coffee shop chain after Starbucks. But the price Coke offered for Costa was simply too good to pass up.
For Coca-Cola, the transaction represents a full-fledged leap into the global coffee market, where it has little presence currently. "Hot beverages is one of the few remaining segments of the total beverage landscape where Coca-Cola does not have a global brand," said James Quincey, president and CEO of Coke. "Costa gives us access to this market through a strong coffee platform."
This move continues Coke's process of diversifying away from the fizzy and sugary drinks that made the company famous. These type of drinks have declined in popularity among increasingly health-conscious consumers. The deal is all part of the company's effort to reposition itself as a "total beverage company". As Mr. Quincey said, coffee was among the "strongest growing [beverage] categories in the world" and the company was missing out.
As the chart above shows, the potential for growth of coffee beverages versus soft drinks is high. So with Coke now entering the market, it sets up a battle royal for coffee sales between the world's biggest beverage maker and the other giants in the sector including Starbucks, Nestlé and privately-held JAB Holdings. More on that later.
Consumer Drinks Pressure
Coke's proposed transaction is just the latest in a series by established consumer brands, which are taking divergent approaches in response to the demand from consumers globally for fresher and healthier products.
Some consumer companies are expanding into territories or products with brighter growth prospects. Coke's arch-rival PepsiCo recently struck a $3.2 billion deal to buy SodaStream, which makes home carbonation products. This deal came mere days after Coke agreed to buy a minority stake (with a path to full ownership) in BodyArmor, a sports drink maker backed by US basketball star Kobe Bryant.
Coke has struggled for years to loosen the hold of Pepsi's sports drink business Gatorade with its Powerade drink. But it may have struck gold with BodyArmor. Its products use coconut water, have higher levels of potassium than its competitors, do not use artificial colors, allowing the company to market its products as a healthier alternative to Gatorade and Powerade. Now it will gain access to Coca-Cola's bottling system, allowing it to increase production.
The research firm Euromonitor said that sports drinks volumes were flat last year in the U.S., as both of the big two brands struggled. The one real exception, according to Euromonitor, was BodyArmor. Analysts with Wells Fargo, relying on Nielsen data, estimated that Body Armor retail sales had climbed 90% over the past year to $288 million. Much of that market share came from Gatorade.
Both Coke and Pepsi are coming under increasing pressure from JAB Holding, a Luxembourg-based investment vehicle backed by the billionaire Reimann family. As part of its international buying spree JAB bought the Keurig Green Mountain coffee business, best known for its single-serve brewing machines, in December 2015 for $13.9 billion. And JAB made a more direct threat to the two incumbents when, in January 2018, it struck a $18.7 billion deal to acquire Dr. Pepper Snapple and combined it with Keurig to create a beverage group with almost $11 billion in annual revenue.
The Steaming Hot Coffee Market
Once you get to the global coffee market, the competition gets even hotter as global food and beverage giant Nestle is a major player. Its recent deals in the space include acquiring the rights to sell Starbucks products and taking a majority stake in roaster Blue Bottle.
According to Euromonitor, the global coffee industry is valued at more than $80 billion, and has been expanding at an annual rate of more than 5%. Here in the United States – the world's biggest coffee market – most of the growth is coming from a resurgence in the café culture among millennials aged 18 to 34.
According to a recent survey conducted by the National Coffee Association, 15% of millennials had their last cup of coffee in a café and 32% had an espresso-based drink the day before the survey, the highest share for any age group. These are the type of consumers Coke is trying to reach through its purchase of Costa.
This data is also why Dunkin Brands (Nasdaq: DNKN) is Wall Street's hottest takeover target, sending its stock to all-time highs. Dunkin is a lot more than a donut shop today and has pushed into more upmarket coffee offerings such as cold brew and espresso drinks. It will likely be added to the $250 billion in deals in the coffee business over the past six years.
But what about Coca-Cola? Was the purchase of Costa a smart move?
Coke and Coffee
Not surprisingly, I am once again in disagreement with the Wall Street consensus. They hate the deal and I love it.
Analysts are saying that Coke knows nothing about brick-and-mortar stores even though Coke insists "this is a coffee strategy, not a retail strategy."
Maybe the analysts are right, but they are ignoring that the entire Costa team is staying in place. When Whitbread bought Costa in 1995 it was a company that was just a small chain of 39 cafes across Britain to today having 2,400 shops in Britain and another 1,400 in more than 30 countries with a brand that is recognized in most parts of the world.
Costa has recently begun its push into China, where it pitches its drinks to Chinese consumers as a luxury treat. It still has only 460 shops there, so the potential for growth is enormous. Starbucks has 600 shops in Shanghai alone.
Costa just did not have the financial firepower for a major push into China, but now with Coke's financial muscle, it does. It will help too that surveys show Chinese consumers consider Costa to be of higher quality than Starbucks. And the trade war may play right into Costa's hands if Chinese consumers begin boycotting American products.
And I like the deal for its symmetry. Think about it – Coke started out being served as a flavor of syrup in the soda fountains of little neighborhood stores (drug stores, etc.) in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The soda was mixed by black-tied "soda jerks" behind marble counters – the forerunners of today's baristas. Then Coke completely moved away from direct contact with consumers…
But now it's back with Costa's coffee houses and its baristas. Just for nostalgia's sake, I hope they succeed. And they might – after all, Amazon had little brick-and-mortar experience before it bought Whole Foods and Apple does have its physical stores. Coke going back to its roots looks like a winner to me.This 'Overlooked' Sector Produced the Biggest Winners of the Last Decade

A movie like The Mind's Eye isn't for everyone, but the ones who it is for will dig the hell out of it. That's how The A.V. Club felt after catching Joe Begos' '80s-throwback horror movie at last year's Fantastic Fest, where we saw it at a late-night screening full of the kind of weirdos who stand up and cheer when an especially juicy exploding head splatters across the screen. (That's our kind of weirdos.) We don't see the true extremes of gore in the film in the initial trailer—which debuted earlier today on Entertainment Weekly—but we do get dapper baddie John Speredakos attempting to channel the telekinetic abilities of "gifted" young people Graham Skipper and Lauren Ashley Carter (who also appeared in this year's Darling), a plan that, this being a splatter movie and all, goes wrong in all sorts of gloriously gruesome ways. Blink and you'll miss genre stalwart Larry Fessenden as Skipper's dad as well.
The Mind's Eye explodes (get it?) into select theaters, iTunes, and VOD on August 5.

When comparing Frigidaire Gallery FGPC1244T1 vs Whynter ARC-143MX, the Slant community recommends Frigidaire Gallery FGPC1244T1 for most people. In the question"What are the best portable air conditioners around $550?" Frigidaire Gallery FGPC1244T1 is ranked 2nd while Whynter ARC-143MX is ranked 3rd. The most important reason people chose Frigidaire Gallery FGPC1244T1 is:
When it comes to cooling performance, this unit easily competes with other premium portable AC units. It has a cooling power of 12,000 BTU and can cool down places as large as 550 sq. ft.
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pro Great cooling performance
When it comes to cooling performance, this unit easily competes with other premium portable AC units. It has a cooling power of 12,000 BTU and can cool down places as large as 550 sq. ft.
Pro Eye-catching design
Due to its round and delicate shapes, this air conditioner looks premium and futuristic. The controls and display are very well integrated and even the remote control is a design piece on its own, with a minimalist, round shape.
Pro It's quiet
Despite its powerful performance, this air conditioner still manages to operate quietly, emitting just 53 dB of noise, which is low enough to use in a bedroom, while people are sleeping.
Pro Can be controlled from a smart device
A standout feature of this unit is its ability to connect to a Wi-Fi network. This allows controlling the air conditioner using a smartphone or a virtual assistant, like Google Assistant or Amazon's Alexa. With this, you can remotely change the settings and check the current status of the device, as well as set schedules.
Pro Provides even air distribution
The oscillating louvers of this AC force the air to circulate, allowing to cool the room evenly. This improved circulation also contributes to a quicker cooling process.
Pro Very power-efficient
Despite the impressive performance level, this unit doesn't use much electricity. There is a thermostat that turns the compressor on and off to maintain the desired temperature, and you can schedule a timer for more efficient operation. On top of that, this unit has a dual-hose system, making it more economical and efficient compared to units with only one exhaust hose.
Pro Cleans the air
This AC unit comes equipped with a standard reusable pre-filter that traps dirt, pet hair, and other large particles. Additionally, it has two other filters: an activated carbon filter that removes odors from the air and an antimicrobial air filter that stops mold and mildew growth and keeps the air free of small particles that could be potentially damaging.
Pro Efficient moisture use
The built-in auto-drain feature pulls moisture out of the air and turns it around to cool down the air while exhausting the condensate outside the room. Using moisture this way not only helps more economically (in terms of electricity consumption), but also saves the hassle of draining the unit from condensate and reduces air humidity.
Pro Restarts automatically after a power outage
In the event of a power outage, the unit will resume working using its last programmed settings, once the power is back.
Con Companion apps are not reliable
As it is the case with many smart appliances, this air conditioner tends to lose connection to its app, and the app itself crashes occasionally.
Con Not very portable
This air conditioner is not the easiest device to move around, as it weighs 78 pounds. The casters seem to be too small to be useful.
Customer reports state that Whynter's customer support is usually very slow and unhelpful.

Daily Bible Blessing-9
Jesus saw her and said, "Woman, you are now free from your trouble!" (Luke 13:12)
A woman who was in bondage for 18 years was set free by Jesus one day when he was preaching in a worship place. She could not stand straight, because of a demonic affliction. But Jesus set her free in a moment. That's exactly what Jesus came to earth for. To set humankind free from every kind of bondage, the chief of them being setting mankind free from sin and eternal death. Everyone can be a recipient of this freedom and those who are recipients already know that Eternal Life awaits them when their term on earth ends. Wonderful.

Mistletoe products are made from the white-berry mistletoe which grows on a variety of deciduous and coniferous trees. The mistletoe behaves very differently from all other plants:
⤑ It is an evergreen that blooms and reproduces in winter.
⤑ It does not grow in the earth – it's a semi-parasite that lives on trees.
⤑ It has no roots, only a so-called "sinker" that connects the mistletoe to the host tree.
⤑ Its growth is independent from sun and gravity, so its branches grow out into all directions – giving it a spherical shape. No other plant grows in this way.
In Europe, there are three subspecies of white-berry mistletoe: deciduous tree, pine and fir mistletoe. Helixor produces mistletoe extracts for fir mistletoe, the apple tree mistletoe and pine mistletoe.
The mistletoe contains over 1,000 different constituents. Its effects on the immune system and the tumor-inhibiting properties of mistletoe extracts are primarily due to a glycoprotein called lectin (specifically three sub-groups: mistletoe lectin I, II, and III).
Different mistletoe subspecies have different lectin patterns. Pine mistletoe, for example, has no mistletoe lectin I, but large amounts of mistletoe lectin III, while apple tree mistletoe primarily contains mistletoe lectin. I Scientific studies show that it is important to consider the effect of the whole extract. Other constituents include viscotoxins (special polypeptides) and complex carbohydrates (polysaccharides), which also show immunostimulatory effects and can complement or enhance the action of lectins. Arginine (an amino acid), flavonoids (secondary plant metabolites), and a high level of vitamin C also contribute to immunomodulation.

Ms. Do-Gooder (dogooder)
- Undergraduate degree from Wellesley in economics and philosophy
- Work experience as an innovation analyst in IT department of a large healthcare organization for three years; social media marketing and program management at two social enterprises
- Extracurricular involvement as a volunteer in college who won a community service award; but nothing formal since then
- Pacific Islander female
- Any suggestions for a good fit?
Odds of Success
Harvard Business School: Less than 20%
Stanford: Less than 15%
MIT Sloan: 30%
Berkeley Haas: 20%
Wharton: 30%
Columbia: 30%
Sandy's Analysis: I am assuming you are not a U.S. citizen? If so, for example Samoan, your chances as a minority go up, possibly a lot. For the n-tenth time, 'minorities' for B-school applications means U.S. citizens who are African-Americans, Alaskan natives, American Indians or Native Americans, Asian Americans, Latino/as, Chicano/as, and Pacific Islanders. If you are from some undeserved place but are not a U.S. citizen that is good. But the school is not boosting its official U.S. minority stats by taking you.
Do we have five years of work experience here? Three years of IT at some health care organization and then two one-year gigs at social enterprises? Dunno. A lot depends on how serious/large/well-established those social enterprises are. If they are sketchy, your whole app can begin to sound odd and fragile. That is beginning to sound flakey, and potential burn out alerts, and a lot will depend on how solid those organizations are. Schools like Wellesley are solid, although your grades are low. Still, your GMAT is solid.
You are not getting into Harvard or Stanford. There's just not enough gold dust (defined as various factors which really set you apart) unless you can somehow concoct some story about how all this translates into improving health care delivery in the Pacific Islands.
Chances at Sloan? Dunno. They are open to oddballs and if your GMAT quant score is high, they could use a person like you to counter their nerd image (and often admit them). Wharton seems less likely. Just nothing here they really need and stats —GPA and GMAT—are lowish for them. Haas, sure, if you convince them you want to come, and Columbia is a close one. Apply early decision and make a great case for how being in New York will help you learn about cutting edge health care delivery for when you get back to the Pacific Islands. I also think you're a likely 'fit' for for Kellogg and Yale. They tend to love poets with social enterprise experience.

Finally, Nae's first official shoot. I'm really happy with a few photos and less than happy with the rest, but I'm planning a trip back there again in the coming days to attempt some more photos. This stream is at a nature reservation site and I had to be extra careful to not stomp on the plants and moss, so I only had a few footholds (mostly spots in the stream) and my angles were a bit limited. I also forgot to take my reflector -or more like considered it and for some unknown reason decided against it. I also want to take Nae to the deeper stream I took Kilbas/Avis photos at last year, but I think I want the weather to get warmer so that I can actually stand in the water. This stream is very shallow so rubber boots are enough, but that one is knee high and I don't have boots that long. xD
I do think I want a warmer coloured wig for her -and I still need to re-make her tail fins but ugh, I keep failing every time.
Mosquito repellent would be a valid accessory as well. Much of my time was spent hitting my own head and I rather sure I carried multiple mosquito corpses back home with me in my hair today.
