Main Navigation
I myself do nothing, the spirit accomplishes all through me,
the spirit in this mental realm sleeps in the crystals, it wakes up in the plants, it walks in the animals, and it becomes aware of it self in humans.
What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.
We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey.
Our spirit is our essence ,we are present true our spirit, we are here to fine tune our spirit in this reality, one of many, you came to become aware of the totality of yourself ,to crystallize the spirit so to speak, you came from an other reality where you where present but not as aware as you are in this reality, we where present in the form of a crystal all the way true the plant and animal realities and the many realities in between
Only in this reality can we become aware of the totality of our self, and we will get as many chances as we need ,it really makes no difference what you do or what happens around you this is your only goal in this reality, if you are aware of this at this moment or not ,all you can do is create an environment inside and around you that is condusive to reaching this goal as soon as possible
That is if you are aware of this fact that you are only in this dimension/reality to do just that ,only in human form can one achieve this goal, it serves no purpose to try to change anything, the world is exactly as it should be, this is where awarenesses come to become aware ,forever it will go on forever ,there is only time and space in this reality, the presence/person that does not get it will muddle on until he does, let them be and respect them ,you where there once.
This reality will always repeat itself for awarenes to come to, to become aware of the totality of itself ,it is a hell of a ride you cant say that the spirit that is in all things is boring ,look around you its an amazing spectacle ,once you become aware of the totality of yourself you no longer need to come back to this reality it has served its purpose and you probably don't even want to, its like a university professor has to spend the rest of his live in a kindergarten amusing but tedious for sure, you move on to the spirit world, because you have become a fully aware spirit, and the adventures that await you there we can only dream on .
When we talk about spirit we are not talking about religion or god, all religions and all gods are a figment of our imagination.
Especially in the earlier years of our "known" so called "civilization" this was caused by the ingestion of mushrooms and plants that created an hallucinatory internal dialog and "visions" that caused mankind to see gods in the most amazing and unlikely places.
This led to the manipulation, control and domination, by the consequently confused and afraid or so called "elite" evolved spirits, off the confused and afraid or the so called "subjects" simpler spirits.
Because the whole concept of this realization was based on hallucination, illusion and fraud this in turn led to the most shocking confusion, prosecution and slaughter that continues to the present day.
This whole episode in the resent history of mankind is a very good example off what happens when we turn away from our own spirit and the spirit that is in all things for guidance, we no longer can rely on our perception and let our internal dialog runs amok based on a internal dialog born out of weakness and fear and the consequent desire to dominate and control.
This also led to the many different versions of what we "think" is happening to us in the illusion that we create now and in the illusionary future and past.
Everybody wonders or worries as the case may be, if there is something like an afterlife ,
reincarnation, heaven ,hell, oblivion, where does our energy and spirit go when we leave this physical body.
There is no afterlife in the sense that our mind can even begin to grasp ,what is there is an impersonal force that is there for us to be used, not to be afraid of or worshiped, it is not linked or subjected to a higher being, it just is, when we stop our internal dialog we can learn how to use this impersonal force to do anything we want it to do, not what it wants us to do.
What it wants us to do if anything, is to become aware of ourselves and it will support us in any way possible, it will support us in our madness and in our sanity, in achieving harmony or chaos, it is all a learning process with the ultimate inevitable result that we as individual spirits will become aware of our selves, it makes no difference to this force, this force is not bound by time or space, it just is here for all infinity.
The fact is that we are here ,and that is the only thing we are really sure of, is all the proof you need that there is "something" before and after, we can see we came from our mother and we "think " we know where we are going either to heaven or hell or we reincarnate or we go into oblivion.
The fact than we are at this very moment is the key to this very important question, it help one to understand this crucial dilemma when we accept that we are spirits that are manifesting us humans .
Our mind as we use it today cant grasp that everything is happening at the same time, to us it only seems that there is a past and future, everything is happening at the same time and there is no afterlife as such when we leave this physical body we are still here, only in a different vibration/frequency waiting to again manifest ourselves as a human again in this mental realm, that seems to us to be divided in past, present and future.
Everything we become aware of now will shed light on the illusionary past and the future, all the questions we have can be answered right now, not in the past or the future all we need to do is become aware of who we really are and what we really are, right now, the past and the future are all part of the now.
This spirit is an individual entity needs a body to become aware of itself, this is how the mental seemingly material universe is set up, we have to traverse true this mental realm to get to the spirit realms, that is the next face in our development as spirits .
We are now spirits manifesting as humans, before that we where spirits that manifested as animals ,plants and crystals.
We are spirits that learn how to stand on our own two feet before we can become aware of the totality of ourselves in this mental material realm that we call the physical world.
The moment we become aware of the totality of ourselves we also understand, not with our minds but with our entire being that we are here, i am an individual independent spirit at this moment in a never ending universe manifesting itself as a human being, when we leave this physical body, we will than incarnate in a body of our choice to learn and manifest ourselves to get the maximum results from this awareness and to continue our journey, from than on we are on the way to becoming a independent fully conscious spirit that does not need to manifest as a human in this mental material realm, but is a grown up spirit that operates fully conscious in the spirit realm.
All of us being aware or not of ourselves will incarnate, when we leave this physical body the infant spirit will find another body to manifest itself in, to continue its journey to become aware if itself in this mental material realm until we get to the totality of ourselves and crystalize as fully mature spirits we will not move on to the spirit world.
I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is.
In those days spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri
A true friend knows your weaknesses but shows you your strengths; feels your fears but fortifies your faith; sees your anxieties but frees your spirit; recognizes your disabilities but emphasizes your possibilities.
I would not know what the spirit of a philosopher might wish more to be than a good dancer.
Natives who beat drums to drive off evil spirits are objects of scorn to smart Americans who blow horns to break up traffic jams.

Human Rights
"When you deprive people of their right to live in dignity, to hope for a better future, to have control over their lives, when you derive them of that choice, then you expect them to fight for these rights."
~ Queen Rania Al Abudllah of Jordan
The work of the Communities is firmly rooted and committed towards the advancement of human rights. Human-rights related barriers remain major obstacles to the uptake, implementation, delivery of and access to lifesaving HIV, TB and malaria services and treatment.
Through efforts by communities and civil society, including the Communities Delegation, Human Rights was introduced as a core objective of the Global Fund 2012 – 2016 Strategy: Investing for Impact and adopted at the 25th Global Fund Board Meeting, However, during the five years of its implementation, the Global Fund Board struggled to define an effective methodology for monitoring and evaluating its successes against this objective.
The Global Fund partnership has committed to integrate human rights principles – participation, equity, accountability, and transparency – throughout the grant cycle, and the Global Fund Strategy 2017 – 2022: Investing to End Epidemics is meant to strengthen the Global Fund's commitment to investing in programmes that address human rights- and gender-related barriers.

Are you Ready To Wed?
We can't guarantee that Ready To Wed™ will take all the challenges out of your wedding or your marriage. It won't keep you from forgetting your anniversary, thaw all the icy silences, or make your spouse alphabetize the shoes in your closet. But it will help you understand why you're getting married, how to stay that way, and how to enjoy it to the fullest. That's because you'll learn what's vital to a healthy relationship, keys to working out your differences, and what God considers most important in "holy matrimony." So get started now, take the 4 keys steps that will impact the course of your marriage.
Read the Book
In this book, we will cover a comprehensive look at everything you will need to start building a marriage you will love. Loaded with examples, suggestions, and instructions based on the 12 traits of a thriving marriage, this valuable resource will launch engaged couples and newlyweds on a lifetime adventure!
Find a Mentor Couple
We can't emphasize enough (both from research and personal experience!) how important it is to have the support and encouragement of a "veteran" couple to walk alongside you! We encourage you to seek out a couple a few steps ahead of you and that can invest in your marriage as you begin your life together.
Q: What benefits does meeting with a premarital mentor offer to us?
A: Many! It is a place to be real, and to be encouraged. It's an opportunity to discover things about your fiancé—and yourself. It's a safe place to ask questions, wrestle with challenges and seek feedback. Your premarital mentor couple can serve as a model to aspire to, and a reminder that you and your fiancé can also lay a marital foundation that will weather the storms leading you to someday enjoy a thriving, successful, lifelong marriage. You'll also receive objective, honest insights about your relationship from people who are committed to both you and your fiancé and want what's best for you. We won't try to tell you it will always be easy, but we will promise it will be worth it!
Q: How do we find premarital marriage mentors?
A: As you begin looking for a premarital mentor couple to walk through your engagement with you and into your first year of marriage, we'd encourage you to look around at the people already in your lives. Is there an experienced couple in your church, neighborhood or other social circles that both you and your fiancé admire and would be comfortable meeting with? Talk to your pastor to see if he might be able to recommend a couple.
Q: What should we look for in a premarital mentor couple?
A: For starters, don't go searching for the perfect couple … because you'll never find them! Instead, look for a husband and wife that both you and your fiancé respect and whose marriage can serve as something of a model for you. Shared interests (sports, music, outdoor activities, hobbies, etc.) are not necessarily essential, but they can be helpful in establishing a level of connection and comfort—especially for men.
Q: How should we approach a potential premarital mentor couple?
A: Once you've identified a potential couple, ask them out to lunch, dessert, or invite them to attend a fun activity. This is a nonthreatening way to begin to build a friendship and to gauge whether a premarital mentoring relationship might be a good idea. Tell them why you both have chosen to ask them and explain your needs, expectations, and hopes. Propose a small number of meetings to start—this will help you "test the waters" without a steep commitment.
After making your request, offer to allow them time to process and pray, then follow up a few days later. Don't be discouraged, though, if the first couple you ask isn't able to respond as you'd hoped.
Q: How do we make the most of our time with our premarital mentors?
A: First, talk in advance of each meeting with fiancé: What do you hope to accomplish, grow in, and what are fears or concerns about marriage? Do either of you perceive areas that might be challenging? Or you may ask them if they would like to proceed through the Ready to Wed curriculum with you and your fiancé?
Be real with your mentor couple. Let them get to know both of you so they can understand how best to come alongside and encourage you and your fiancé.
Q: How honest should we be with our premarital mentor couple?
A: To get the most out of your mentoring relationship, you'll want to be transparent. At the same time, always be honoring and supportive of your fiancé– even when addressing points of differing opinions or disagreements. If you are planning to talk about sensitive issues, make sure you have your fiancé's permission first. The important thing to remember is that your premarital mentor couple desires to help you build a foundation of a healthy marriage–even if that means that they help you walk through some difficult conversations.
Q: How do I bring up delicate issues about our relationship with our premarital mentoring couple without hurting my fiancé?
A: It's important that both you and your fiancé check your hearts and motives before exploring potentially difficult areas. It's important to see you and your fiancé as a team. Keep your own heart open in the process. Freely admit your own faults, and be open to areas where you need to grow and change. That kind of mindset allows you to tackle tough topics in a way that works for the good of your future marriage relationship. Otherwise placing blame and driving a wedge between you and your fiancé may result. Finally, keep in mind the Apostle Paul's formula—"speaking the truth in love" (Eph. 4:15)—and you'll seldom go wrong.
Q: Are there topics that should be "off limits"?
A: If it is a particularly delicate subject, you may want to first ask your premarital mentors whether they are comfortable discussing it. In general, your premarital mentor couple is there to help walk you through whatever subject you're dealing with in order to best prepare for marriage, but remember that they are not experts on every topic.
Q: Is looking for a premarital marriage mentor a good idea if we are struggling with a serious issue (pornography, addiction, etc.)?
A: Yes, but first we'd urge you to seek the help of a licensed Christian counselor. Addictions, mental illness, and other serious personal or marital issues usually require the involvement of a trained professional. For an initial counseling consultation or to locate a counselor in your area, contact Focus on the Family at 1-800-A-FAMILY.
In addition to a counselor, you'll also want to make sure you have a strong support system around you—and a premarital mentor couple can be a significant part of that. A mature, "safe" couple can serve as a wonderful outlet for support, encouragement, feedback and honest dialogue as you make progress in your counseling experience. Trusted confidantes like these can also help you overcome the shame, isolation and loneliness that often accompany such struggles, as you seek to understand what you are each bringing into your new marriage relationship.
Q: What are some of the common mistakes mentoree couples make?
A: Confusing premarital marriage mentors with professional counselors is one mistake couples can make. Expecting a premarital mentor couple to be perfect or to have all the answers is another. Respect time—be sure to end meetings at the agreed-upon time. Mentorees occasionally can blur the lines, beginning to view the premarital mentor couple as another set of parents or as being "on call" for every little crisis or question. Come into the premarital mentoring relationship with healthy boundaries and realistic expectations firmly in place.
Q: What if our premarital mentor couple is not a good "fit" or isn't meeting our needs?
A: Your premarital mentor couple is there to be a resource. Therefore, it's important that you both keep up an open, ongoing dialogue about your relationship with them. Be polite, but honest about your needs and expectations, what's working and what isn't, and how they can best help you.
If it is truly not a good fit, that's okay. Thank the couple for their time and investment, conclude your meetings, and then seek out another premarital mentor couple. You may even want to continue pursuing the friendship you've formed with the couple, just not in an official premarital mentoring capacity.
Q: Are we better off meeting alone with a premarital mentor couple or with other premarital couples in a small group setting?
A: There are advantages to both, so it depends on what you're looking for. Some engaged couples enjoy forming peer relationships and exploring premarital topics together. They appreciate the synergy and learning from other engaged couples at a similar life stage. The key is to determine what setup would best serve you and your fiancé—then take the plunge!

Go on, put your feet up
So… I think the ONLY thing I've learned through this entire process is that building a home is really expensive! Even little plastic storage boxes are expensive. We're running up a nice and hefty credit card bill at the moment and it freaking sucks. At the same time, there are just things that we still need. When we moved in together several years ago neither of us brought a lot of furniture with us and we've held off buying anything substantial, knowing we would need to furnish the house in its entirety.Continue reading "Go on, put your feet up"

Travel & Hotspots
I unloaded my suitcase only to reload it right away for a weekend in the suburbs in the Netherlands. Definitely an adjustment after New York, but it made me realize how beautiful my country is. But before I knew it I found myself repacking that exact same suitcase to jet off to Milan for Milan Fashion Week.
I was invited by Patrizia Pepe to join them in Milan and you should know that it's been one of my favorite brands for years. I'm in love with her lammy's, her jackets with a twist, her blouses that are secretly body stockings so they never come out of your pants, her wool dresses with bat sleeves and her pleated skirts. Seriously though, open up my closet (from the past fifteen years) and you'll notice Patrizia is very present in it.
Something you can't miss during a Milan hazing is have lunch at Corso Como 10
Our hostess is the sweetest and a lot of fun to have as company on the trip. Alongside (the Dutch) ELLE's shopping editor, a PR maven called Lucie and one of the brains behind the Dutch L'Officiel. But apparently this crowd wasn't entirely Milan-minded. Or perhaps they were Milan-minded, but they just hadn't been here all too often so I transformed into somewhat of a city guide.
Something you can't miss during a Milan hazing is have lunch at Corso Como 10, so that's where we went. I also happen to have a very cherished memory of this place. We shared antipasti, looked over at Carla Sozzani (owner of the store and sister of Franca Sozzani, editor in chief of Vogue Italia) who made her way to a nearby table and listened to the classic combo of opera music we could hear in a distance.
Colin Farrell walked inside (followed by a herd of groupies) and looked around at the well dressed crowd surrounding us. As much as I'd like to run after Colin, it's my laptop that needs all the attention because work always comes before the girl, even if the girl is Milan.
Colin Farrell walked inside (followed by a herd of groupies)
After an hour of typing at the hotel we head to hotel Iyo. A hip Japanese restaurant with a Michelin star where you have to make a reservation five months in advance. So there we were, two long tables with international press. There was wine, there was sushi and there were wonderful Italian women. We laughed, talked about life and about Brad and Angelina and what the hell happened there, and of course we didn't forget to cover the topic of fashion. As you're reading this, I will have already interviewed Patrizia as well as shopped in the store. Looks like I need a bigger closet…

How to Protect Your Important Information Online.
With the internet easily accessible in most regions of the world, the risk of identity theft has increased in recent years. Increased risk may have you wondering how you can protect yourself from cyber criminals. AmeriCash Loans has come up with few tips to ensure you are taking precautions in order to protect your personal information.
Review Social Media Profiles
The popularity of social platforms like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn has given cyber criminals easy access to an infinite amount of personal information. The "About Me" section which is common on almost every social platform may seem harmless but the information or lack of info that you provide is crucial to keeping your online identity safe. Sections like address, phone number, age and school history should be avoided if possible. The less information you provide in these fields, the less of a chance a hacker can steal your identity. Another essential social media tip is to change your setting to "private". This settings change assures that only your friends or connections can view your posts, profile and private information.
Password Variety
While it can be very tedious and annoying to remember all of your passwords due to the number of active accounts you frequent, it is vital to use slight variation on passwords being used to access important online sign-ins such as banking profiles or anywhere you provide credit card credentials. If you decide to use one universal password for the sake of ease you will regret it when your account is cracked by a cyber thief who now can easily access all of your personal accounts.
Use caution when reading emails.
The average American receives roughly 40 emails a day. A large percentage of those emails are advertisements sent buy online retailers where you have previously entered you email address. The spike in email advertising over the past few years has led to the era of phishing. These types of messages are spam emails meant to look identical to trusted websites.These scammers normally present a link that leads to a fake website where they will ask for personal information. If you do end up entering your information you will at risk for eventual identity theft. Cyber criminals have been able to make some pretty realistic imitation emails so be sure to be wary the next time you go through your inbox.
Use Trusted Website
Whenever you are using websites that require your social security number or any financial information, make sure the website is a trusted business. Do your research prior to using or agreeing to share your financial credentials. This valuable information is sacred and could potentially cost you thousands of dollars in damages if it fell into the wrong hands.

The efficacy of Judaism, as a theological system, is dead. This was the message of Jesus of Nazareth and, for that message, the Jewish leaders sought to kill Him. The Law of Moses, having served its purpose, was to be nailed to the cross along with the Lamb of God who was taking away the sins of the world (Colossians 2:14). The Law's ultimate purpose was as a teacher to bring men to Christ and, once an individual is in Christ, the authority of the Law ceases to exist (Galatians 3:19-25). It is by true faith leading to the New Birth that one is "circumcised" in the means that God now recognizes (Romans 2:25-29; Colossians 2:8-13). Thus, the one who would cling to any of the traditions of the Law does so in great peril making Christ of absolutely no value (Galatians 5:1-6).
This very bold introduction is because of the gravity of the proposition. A Christian attempting to keep the traditions of the Law is described in the New Testament as "entangled," under a "yoke of bondage" who is "obligated to keep the entire Law" and "fallen from grace" and "under a curse." Given that fact, it is not a subject which should be dealt with softly nor can there be sufficient emphasis on the Biblical mandate to follow the Perfect Law of Liberty instead of the Law of Sin and Death. The Apostle Paul warned the Galatians, "Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace" (Galatians 5:4). But what about those who keep portions of the Law but do not do so as a matter of justification?
At this point, the matter gets a little blurry.
For Christians there is something fascinating about Judaism. This is not altogether unmerited. After all, Christianity is, by nature, the wild olive branch grafted onto the natural (Romans 11:11-31). The Jewish root of the Church is undeniable. We are, by faith, children of Abraham (Galatians 3:7, 29). We are those "Jews" which are ones inwardly through the circumcision of the heart (Romans 2:28-29). The Church is that entity which, in Christ, fulfills the Law (Romans 3:29-31). Christ has torn down the middle wall which divides Jew and Gentile making them one new man in Him (Ephesians 2:14-16). The Christian is a resident of God's Jerusalem (Galatians 4:26), has come to Mount Zion (Hebrews 12:22), a citizen of the commonwealth of Israel (Ephesians 2:11-13) and part of the Body which has now become the people of God (1 Peter 2:9-10).
Again, the Jewish root of the Church is undeniable. But the Law and the Prophets, the ordinances of the Law, the Sabbaths, feasts, festivals, sacrifices and the like, are only shadows. They are Christ's shadow (Colossians 2:16-17), shadowy examples of Divine things in Christ (Hebrews 8:5-6), figures of the future sacrifice of Christ (Hebrews 9:1-10, 10:1-18) with the overarching message that the actual substance, the thing to attain and cling to, is Christ; not the shadow.
It is not altogether unusual to see Christians keeping traditions of the Law. The Apostle Paul dealt with this issue quite thoroughly in Romans 14. In that passage, which should serve as a model for Christian liberty and conviction, Paul confronts the issue of Christians clinging to certain dietary aspects of the Law. His conclusion was simple: if you wish to carry a dietary restriction because of your conscience, do so understanding that it doesn't make you a better person, closer to God, more spiritual, a stronger Christian or more justified in the eyes of God. Don't command others to do it. Don't look down on others who don't do what you do. Keep it to yourself and be happy about it (Romans 14:22-23). But if you're doing it because you are keeping some trapping of the Law (dietary restrictions, prayer shawls, Sabbaths, feasts, etc.) because you think it pleases God for you to do so, you're wrong. It might satisfy your conscience in some way, but, in doing so, you prove yourself to be weak (1 Corinthians 8:11-13).
This is one of the reasons there is the potential to completely fall from grace in keeping the traditions of the Law (Galatians 5:4). The Christian who does so is revealing a personal spiritual weakness. Trying to hold to a shadow when the substance stands before you can be a great sign of distance from God. The light shines from Christ (2 Corinthians 4:6). The shadow is cast before Him. You cannot embrace the shadow without, to some degree, turning your back on Christ. This is what is so frightening about seeing Christians keeping these aspects of the Law.
Furthermore, it is one thing to have an appreciation and curiosity in regard to Biblical Judaism. But the facets of Judaism most often embraced by Christians are not necessarily Biblical. It must be remembered that Judaism, as it appears today, has not been Judaism according to the Biblical form in many centuries. When a Christian wears a "Jewish" prayer shawl (tallit) or the skullcap (kippah), they are not fulfilling Numbers 15:38-40 or any other point of the Law. They are dressing in garments which developed much later than the Old Testament period and perpetuating extra-Biblical Talmudic Judaism. Be mindful that this is the same form of Judaism which claims Jesus of Nazareth was the illegitimate son of an adulteress who was, Himself, an attempted adulterer, sorcerer and idolater. These are they which call Him "son of Pantera" to emphasize a supposed relationship between Mary and a Roman soldier or political official who was the real father of Jesus. It is the same Talmudic Judaism which insists that Jesus of Nazareth is held in eternal punishment writhing in "boiling excrement" and who, hopefully, will have His name and memory completely blotted out.
How can a Christian hold hands in any form of identification with this?
Returning to Romans 14, we must agree with the Holy Spirit as He spoke through the Apostle Paul. If a Christian holds a personal conviction in regard to anything, inasmuch as it doesn't violate the Word of God, let it be so and let that individual hold that conviction to himself before God without mandating such upon any other Believer. This applies to both Saint and Minister. The Pastor, Evangelist, Teacher or Minister who teaches others they must do these things is violating the Word of God in doing so. If you have a conviction, keep it to yourself before God. Those who lead their congregations into Sabbath worship, keeping of feasts and other matters does so in contradiction to and rebellion against the Word of God. Holding to it yourself is fine; insisting others must do so is not.
That an individual Christian returns to embrace portions of the traditions of the Law is a frightening thing. It would appear that it begins with a small point and, most often, evolves into feelings of superiority or, akin to it, feelings that other Christians who do not observe such things are inferior, rebellious, in fellowship with the "harlot church" or, in some way, shape or form, displeasing to God. It is frightening because it is, most often, a slippery slope. The Law is a dangerous thing to play with once an individual experiences grace. It will bring you into bondage and rob you of the gift of grace. Sadly, those who walk this road most often do so in the name of drawing nearer to and pleasing God.
But let it be understood now just as it was in the days of the Apostles and as it has been stated before, "Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace" (Galatians 5:4). Let us strive not to be, as the Holy Spirit addressed our Brethren of old, "foolish Galatians."
1 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified. 2 Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? 3 Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? 4 Did you suffer so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain? 5 Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith— 6 just as Abraham "believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness"?
7 Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham. 8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, "In you shall all the nations be blessed." 9 So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
10 For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, "Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them." 11 Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for "The righteous shall live by faith." 12 But the law is not of faith, rather "The one who does them shall live by them." 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree"— 14 so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.
15 To give a human example, brothers: even with a man-made covenant, no one annuls it or adds to it once it has been ratified. 16 Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, "And to offsprings," referring to many, but referring to one, "And to your offspring," who is Christ. 17 This is what I mean: the law, which came 430 years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to make the promise void. 18 For if the inheritance comes by the law, it no longer comes by promise; but God gave it to Abraham by a promise.
19 Why then the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise had been made, and it was put in place through angels by an intermediary. 20 Now an intermediary implies more than one, but God is one.
21 Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law. 22 But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
23 Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. 24 So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. 25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, 26 for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.
And to these things we can only say, "Amen and Amen."

This machine was originally designed to brew coffee in low-gravity environments, but has since evolved into a tabletop machine for household use. set to retail at €350, the smart-looking machine wants to make the precise science of brewing third wave coffee accesible to everyone. Perk takes advantage of the physics principle of "mechanical suspension" to guarantee a perfect 'uniformity of saturation' for every coffee particle. in other, less sciency words the machine gently pumps water through the coffee grains, lifting, tumbling and separating the particles to ensure that the water reaches each grain evenly.
The 3D printer coffee machine uses a recirculating boiler with a nested infusion chamber that ensures a constant supply of precision-controlled, heated liquid. this means that you can select and maintain a desired brewing temperature to within a degree. the Perk prototype has recently been on a tour of the US, getting put to the test in hip coffee bars right, left and center. an anonymous coffee-lover even stated 'don't tell anyone this, but your machine just killed the pour-over.

On April 21, 2010, Comedy Central aired episode "201" of South Park. The previous episode, "200," which was a celebration of their 200th episode, sparked controversy from a radical fringe Muslim group who threatened violence on the show's creators because of their use of the character Muhammed. After seeing the season 14 DVD of South Park, the cowards at Comedy Central continue to bow to the wishes of radical Muslims, showing that our free speech can be silenced by violence or the threat of it. Following this path, which runs contradictory to almost anything Comedy Central has done in the past, willingly provides a disturbing upper hand to any groups wanting to limit free speech and the power of our popular culture.
When a new episode of South Park airs, it is generally available for streaming shortly thereafter from South Park Studios. In the case of "201," we got this message:
Following this message, there was a long list of people upset that the network, who has courageously stood by South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone over the years, decided to cower in the corner and bleep important sections of episode "201." In fact, Muhammed was shown in a bear suit, an obvious play on the fear of showing Muhammed on TV. Even that was censored out (important note: Comedy Central has allowed South Park to show Muhammed in the past). As the dust settled, many people (including myself) felt that the truth would be told and free speech will prevail, on some level, when the episode comes out on the season 14 DVD.
Upon the release, I heard that the episode was still edited, which was a shameful move on Comedy Central's part. Not surprised about that, I figured Matt and Trey would get to say a few things on the commentary track that would allow more of their voice to be heard. Unfortunately, this is not the case and the bulk of their commentary is also bleeped out with that same annoying tone that is spread throughout episode "201" (supposedly a speech about fear and intimidation that doesn't mention Muhammed). The beginning of the episode on DVD says the following words.
In the 14 years we've been doing South Park we have never done a show that we couldn't stand behind. We delivered our version of the show to Comedy Central and they made a determination to alter the episode. It wasn't some meta-joke on our part. Comedy Central added the bleeps. In fact, Kyle's customary final speech was about intimidation and fear. It didn't mention Muhammad at all but it got bleeped too.
After reading that statement, I can just hear the obscenity-laced commentary from Matt and Trey, likely using more colorful terms than "coward" in reference to Comedy Central. The reason South Park has reached the status it has acquired is because of the show's ability to mock anyone or any idea; the end result often being a smart, useful reflection on the topics lampooned. Matt and Trey have long appreciated Comedy Central's willingness to stand behind their work. Today, however, it appears that Comedy Central has willingly given into the hyper-politically-correct elements in our society.
Over the last year, there has been more mumblings from Matt and Trey that they are getting tired of doing South Park. Their ability to stay on top of current events means they literally put a show together in under a week. This is no easy task and certainly not worth the sleepless work nights if your show is going to get butchered from the terrified suits above. With the ongoing culture war, a voice like South Park is essential and should be supported. Silencing such a voice and giving into intimidation only shows a severe weakness in our culture that will be exploited by those who want to crush it.

I'm stealing the bit of wisdom coming to you in this post from a homily I heard while attending mass at school about a month or so ago. All succeeding praises and admiration will defer to Fr. Gerard (and of course the Holy Spirit speaking through him).
I have said it before and I will say it again, the future can be a scary thing. It sometimes is so stressful to address all of the questions the future poses. What will I do to earn a living? Will I love my job or will I just do it to make some money—or both? Even worse, sometimes we think we have everything planned out for the next five years, and then a terrible thing happens to take it away from us. Maybe we didn't get that deal we were hoping for at work, or maybe we lost our job completely. Maybe that Ms. Perfect you had your heart set on marrying in a few years decides she just wants to be friends (ouch!). Whatever the reason, life always finds a way to serve us up a heaping plate of uncertainty. If you're anything like me, you often find this accompanied by a considerably-sized side dish of anxiety, just to make things interesting.
Unlike fear, which has the ability to motivate us to take action when needed, anxiety is something that brings with it unnecessary stress. Planning for the future is important and sometimes necessarily stressful; but there is a reason for the saying "one step at a time." Just like those of us with shorter legs do not have the option of leaping up staircases five steps at a time, so too do us limited human beings not always have the luxury of seeing the next few steps in our life. Even if we think we can plan out every detail of the future, sometimes life just decides to put a big clumsy kid in front of us to block our view or knock us down mid-ascent. The cool thing about staircases is that you don't need to get from step 1 to step 5 in one swift motion. All you need to do is focus on the step in front of you.
As always, prayer is powerful. Pray often and stay close to God; live always in His plan. If you have the confidence you are living the life He has laid out for you, you can have certainty that things will work out for the best, even if at the moment you can't see how.

There's a lot to do, see and eat here in my beloved hometown, San Juan City. Go straight ahead to P. Guevarra Street, you'll see from left to right restaurants of different cuisine and some are considered hidden gems; turn left to Wilson Street and you shall behold this noodle bar which was introduced to me recently and there I learned that this place puts forward its specialty Chinese Style Noodle Soups. Open daily from 11AM until 2AM. It is called Mu Noodle Bar. "mu" is a Japanese word alleged to mean "Your question cannot be answered because it depends on incorrect assumptions." However, in Chinese language it means "nothing". One would really wonder what is so special about this food establishment and together with selected foodies we came to discover the truth one fine afternoon.
The interior and decor have qualities of being modern and minimalistic. Majority of the materials used are woods especially those that are having black discoloration. The dark walls coupled with strong white light resulted in strong statement, which therefore is a big come on for guests.
Iced Tea PhP40 (right) and Lemon Tea (left) PhP40
Both are cold beverages. Normally, in Chinese/Japanese restaurants, hot tea is served to begin your meal but for Mu Noodle bar waitstaff served us with a glass of cold iced tea first followed by your choice of drink from their list of beverages. Since I was too thirsty I gulped it down and found how aromatic yet bland it was, but not as refreshing as the Lemon Tea.
Dong Bo Buns PhP240
We started with these soy glazed pork served on the side with fried mantou bread, mustard, crushed peanuts and coriander. The melt-in-your mouth goodness of pork belly was incomparable for its excellence. That's the main ingredient that made the dish very desirable. Make sure to blend it with mustard, peanuts and coriander for a complete package. One is not enough!
Beef with Tendon Noodle Soup PhP260
For noodles soups, we started off with the special one- Beef with Tendon! When ordering noodle soup, you will be given an option whether to have thick or thin noodles (Udon or Hong Kong style) and miso or soy stock. Be careful with the extremely hot stone bowl for it might burn your fingers. This beef noodles soup (as shown above) was made with braised beef, flavorful beef broth, some vegetables, egg, and last but not the least, thin noodles. I especially love the tough and fibrous pieces of tendons which are actually what connects muscle to bone. On rare occasions that I eat this sumptuous part of beef coupled with brisket on a relaxing soup, it's just so amazing that I finally have discovered another soup bowl worth raving.
Char Siu Pork Noodle Soup PhP240
Char Siu is the best tasting meat that I ever tried. Add few pieces of this meat on a bowl of ramen or noodle and that will simply take your breath away. Have some to believe! Should you want additional soup, egg or extra pieces of beef or char siu, the restaurant staff would be very glad to accommodate your request but be ready to pay for additional cost.
A beefy rice dish that will certainly suit every Asian palate and perfect for any viand from the menu.
Prawn Omelette PhP220
Omelette is not just for breakfast as it is a great hearty viand too. It is made with eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes, milk, onion, green pepper and prawns. Now, I cannot recall if this light dish is served with sauce but all I remember is is slightly sweet and savoury note served Asian-style.
3 Cup Chicken PhP240
Chicken fried with ginger, garlic and spinach. This is a popular dish in Chinese?Taiwanese dish because of its simplicity and easy to do recipe. Best if it is cooked with soy sauce, rice wine, and sesame oil. From the moment this bowl landed our table, I can easily detect how fragrant it is and when I started having some spoonfuls, the flavor was just immensely flavorful and goes well with the beef rice.
For desserts, we insanely finished the following. The wooden dessert spoon perched on top of each goblet caught my interest. So perfectly perfect.
For desserts, we insanely finished the following. The wooden dessert spoon perched on top of each goblet caught my interest. So perfectly perfect.
Frozen Fruit PhP80
A goblet filled with refreshingly assorted chunks of fruit such as watermelon, melon, mango and pineapple frozen to cool you down.
Milk Tea Ice Cream PhP70
First time to encounter such a heavenly dessert. Milk Tea is so in demand and this ice cream must be included in the roster of popular desserts as well. But I fall short on the serving size. I bet guests deserve better that a scoop or two of milk tea ice cream.
MU Milky Cup PhP80
My hunger for sweets regained at the usual energy level. A cup of coconut milky goodness topped with crunchy frosted flakes will surely left you craving for more. It is more than like eating cereals for breakfast. The ice cream is way better than what I regularly dig in.
Cua Pao Custard PhP120
Heavenly! I actually cannot grope for the right description on my first bite of this cua pao custard except that it feels like I'm in heaven in every bite. Golden brown in color filled with salted egg custard and malted chocolate stuffed inside a fried bun. I opted to wipe my bun with some drizzles of chocolate beneath it. And the explosion of flavor is guranteed to happen.
I still want more from MU Noodle Bar. This is worth a food trip! Gotta try all the dishes slowly. If you needed some Asian fix, this place is one of the best on this part of San Juan City.

Valiam, On Strike, Sagittae, Pretty Alright, Roger Ramjet, Touchwood and Anui to name just a few...
These are the names of yachts built by their owners.
We have now met seven couples who have completely built their own yachts; sourced everything that Glenn and I take for granted as standard fixtures onboard of Sea Trek III. Their owners are not professional in the industry. They are regular people from varied walks in life who have willingly taken on this huge and unconventional path to boat ownership. They have committed themselves to years of work and hours totaling 3,000 to 4,000 to eventually are able to sail and enjoy their owner crafts.
Why would anyone undertake such an enormous task, for pleasure?
The dream, to go cruising...
A few favoured designs are readily accessible in kit form. They arrive as pre cut foam and glass sandwich pieces and instructions with paper pattens. "This seemed do-able in our back yard". Anonymous quote.
Some ambitious amateurs use professional help with the hull structure, and then continued the "finishing off". Sounds simple but multiple skills are required: carpentry, electrical, plumbing, upholstery, glazing, rigging, mechanical, and years of patience. For one couple this involved moving the hull and their new home, a caravan into an industrial shed. Years later they have an elegant and stunning Radford 55' yacht that races through the open waters. It's internal carbon fibre fit out is truely futuristic, and practical.
Several friends said that it was the only way that they could afford a yacht of the design and size that they wanted.
Saving money was mentioned by many. This was countered when most people admitted that it was far more costly than they had expected, and not the bargain that they had hoped for. The expenses were spread over 4 or 5 years and the pace made it manageable. "We could have bought a lovely yacht without all of the agony". Savings were made by finding the best prices by internet shopping, generally overseas products. A few industrious sailors sourced second hand deck hardware and engines. This required being in the right place at the right time, and networking.
Most couples mentioned that building was a way to stay focused on their dream of cruising and retirement, prior to being ready to go. Most also mentioned the strain on the marriage/relationship as the epic of frustrations dragged on.
I was curious to find out how new skills were aquired. "The internet, and just doing it". Hmmm. "So anyone with computer skills could build a yacht?" "Yes". Not this crew.
A real positive was repeated often "If I can build it, I can fix it".
Being self reliant was a commonly expressed idea. Repairs and maintenance can be financially draining. The owners of these yachts eventually know everything about the systems onboard, and as a result will be in the unique position of being able to fix things when they break. They have the spares, the tools and know the sizes and the sources. The marine environment of salt and humidity is harsh. Lots of gear will eventually fail.
The vast majority of sailors we know buy yachts fully assembled. There is a very healthy second hand market, and bargains abound. Our first few years onboard Sea Trek III have involved sorting out the systems onboard: idiosyncratic repairs of previous owners.
Recently we met Trevor and Fiona who aren't actually on the water as yet. They are still building their yacht in the back yard of their home and business: Granger 40' Catamaran.
Fiona with fresh baking.
Thanks Fiona and Trevor: the yacht viewing was "Definitely worth the drive". See you next year.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Nerv?
Nerv shots are convenient 2 fl oz drinks that help you manage occasional anxiety and stress, improve your focus, and be your best self.
Why use Nerv?
The World Health Organization reports that over 615 million people globally suffer from anxiety or depression. Of those people, over 40 million are Americans. We couldn't find any effective solutions for anxiety that weren't either prescription medication or expensive psychotherapy, so we created Nerv shots.
What are the key benefits of Nerv?
Nerv shots are formulated to help manage occasional anxiety and stress while also helping to improve focus. Whether it's taken before a high-pressured event or meeting - or a heart-pounding first date - Nerv can help you be your best self.
What's in Nerv?
The active ingredients in Nerv are a blend of dietary supplements (as classified by the FDA), including magnesium and L-Theanine. Together, Nerv's ingredients provide fast acting relief within 1 hour, that lasts up to 10 hours.
- L-Theanine is the primary natural active ingredient responsible for the positive mental effects associated with green tea.
- Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body, and it is essential to good mental and physical health
- B-vitamin complex Improves ratings of stress, mental health and vigor and improved cognitive performance during intense mental processing.
How Does Nerv Work?
Anxiety is a fear of the future. The active ingredients in Nerv (see above) tackle the "anxious" neurons in the amygdala of your brain and signals them to quiet down. This temporarily blocks fear processing to help you feel more in control of your emotions.
How effective is Nerv?
Although over 50 years of data and evidence exists supporting the active ingredients mentioned above, we ran small (30 person)double-blind focus group trials for additional proof of concept. We assessed participants' anxiety levels using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) scale before and after using Nerv and a placebo. Results indicated that:
- 79% of participants experienced lowered STAI anxiety scores
- 75% of participants felt more social and more comfortable around others
- 72% of participants felt more in control of their feelings.
- 90% of participants said they would recommend Nerv to family or a friend.
- 100% of participants said they would purchase Nerv at grocery stores.
For further information, here are several links to studies that report on Nerv's main ingredients:
- Comprehensive review on the discovery, function, and use of phenibut. (Lapin 2001)
- Phenibut counteracts the conditions of anxiety in animal models of behavior. (Talaenko 2005)
- Inhibitory effect on chronic pain by phenibut. (Belozertseva 2016)
- Theanine counters the effects of chronic psychosocial stress on mice including shortened lifespan, cognitive dysfunction, and behavioral depression. (Unno 2011)
- Theanine lowered salivary alpha amylase activity in pharmacy students along with lowered stress. (Unno 2013)
- Theanine reduces blood pressure under stress. (Yokogoshi 1995)
Is Nerv safe to use?
Yes, in moderation. However, we recommend you consult your doctor before giving to children or if used with alcohol and/or medication. With normal renal function, Nerv is naturally cleared from your body within 24 hours after consumption.
Is Nerv FDA approved?
Nerv shots are dietary supplements. Nerv shots are FDA compliant. This means that the ingredients used are considered safe within the FDA monograph system. Additionally, every step of Nerv shots' sourcing, testing, and manufacturing complies with the requirements set forth in the FDA regulations.
How often should I use Nerv?
We recommend 1 per day and 3 per week, consumed at least 48 hours apart.
Can I drink Nerv with alcohol?
You should avoid the use of alcohol while using Nerv. Do not exceed the recommended dose of Nerv, and avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how it affects you. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns.
How does Nerv interact with caffeine or perscription drugs?
Nerv contains L-Theanine that has been demonstrated to counter some of caffeine's anxiety producing effects, such as an increased heart rate.
To make sure Nerv is safe for you, consult your doctor if you have kidney disease, epilepsy, seizures, a history of stroke, blood clots or if you use any medications for these disorders or any opioids. Do not use during pregnancy or while nursing.
Is it safe to use Nerv during pregnancy?
Pregnancy is a complicated time when considering the use of products to manage one's state of mind. For this reason your physician will often weigh the relative benefits with the relative risks given your specific situation. Unfortunately, there is no simple yes or no answer to this question. When deciding whether or not to use Nerv during pregnancy it is important to weigh up how necessary Nerv is to your health against the possible risks to you or your baby. This will be dependent on the stage of pregnancy, the use of drugs and medications, and other medical factors. Being healthy both physically and mentally is particularly important during pregnancy and whilst caring for a baby. Your doctor is the best person to help you decide what is right for you and your baby.
Where is Nerv available?

Snow falls, streets and schools close, air travel is suspended. But what did Tuesday's winter storm mean to readers in the New York area who expected to find copies of the morning paper on their doorstep or at their newsstand? Not much.
Michael Connors, The Times's managing director of production, reported that all 236,000 copies ordered for the New York metropolitan area were printed and trucked to the distribution areas ready for delivery by Tuesday morning. "We fulfilled the entire order, dispatched 52 trucks and met or beat all delivery expectations," he said. "We batted a thousand."
(Alas, not all of those copies made it to every subscriber's home on Wednesday: in areas with especially heavy snow, several thousand papers were delivered late or on the following day.)
The feat was accomplished with a lot of planning on the part of The Times's production team, as well as a number of pre-storm adjustments to newspaper's complicated print production operation.
"It's all about planning," said Todd Socia, the vice president for production. On the night before the storm, when many people across the Northeast were making sure to take their laptops home with them, Mr. Socia said he huddled with members of the news and production teams assessing the storm's severity and considering whether there were ways to get the paper out the door faster, ahead of the storm.
Having navigated Hurricane Sandy in 2012 as well as the blackout of August 2003 (which shut down the paper's production plant in College Point, Queens), Mark Weitzel, who directs the print distribution operation, said the production team has something of a playbook it draws upon for various emergency scenarios and weather events.
In this instance, as is often the case with weather emergencies, the team decided it would be useful to have a little more production time. Accordingly, Tom Jolly, associate masthead editor for print, and Mr. Weitzel decided to close the news pages an hour earlier.
For Times writers and editors, this meant one hour less in the day. (Mr. Jolly explained why the earlier closing time did not mean less news: "The major news, including the lead story on the C.B.O. report about the new health plan, occurred during the day, so readers didn't miss out on anything notable." He added, "Of course the newspaper is always published according to set deadlines, and if news happens afterwards, we follow up in the next day's paper.")
To speed things further, the production team decided to add another printing press; the fourth press made it possible to print more papers more quickly. It costs more to run the extra press, but Mr. Weitzel said the extra press would make it possible to get papers to subscribers on time and so was worth it.
There's no way to plan for every scenario. Conditions were much worse in some parts of the I-95 corridor than in New York City — especialy in New England and along the New York-Pennsylvania border, where up to 30 inches of snow have fallen. As a result, 85,000 papers aimed for readers in the northeastern United States were delivered late, 3,000 of which were not delivered at all. (Those subscribers, said Mr. Weitzel, will get their Tuesday paper with their Wednesday paper.)
On Monday night, however, Mr. Connors was on the phone ordering spaghetti and meatballs — a complimentary "thank you" meal, he said, for the 200 workers who helped print the papers and load them onto trucks that delivered them to distribution sites around the city. Mr. Connor also arranged 30 nearby hotel rooms for workers who would be unable, because of weather, to travel home when their shift ended.
Though 236,000 copies of The New York Times turned up when and where they were supposed to at the distribution areas on Tuesday morning, a big portion of the paper's New York staff did not make it to the office during the storm.
Managing Editor Joseph Kahn, one of a handful of senior editors in the sparsely populated newsroom, noted that the paper's editors and reporters have near total remote access. Also, he pointed out, a big portion of The Times's news report is produced in offices outside New York, in London, Washington and Hong Kong. Mr. Kahn noted that very few people have to be on-site to get the paper out; he said he was in the office because he lived nearby and could get more done there than he could at home, where noisy kids were enjoying a snow day.

WhatsApp will DELETE your messages, photos and videos after new update – here's how to keep them safe
Don't get caught out by a major change Google is making to the way it stores your WhatsApp info
WHATSAPP is about to start deleting certain messages, photos and videos that you'd saved – and you've only got a few weeks to stop it from happening.
It's all part of a brand new app update that changes the way backed-up WhatsApp content works.
Until now, WhatsApp backed up your content into Google Drive – a popular cloud storage service.
But Google is now making a handy change: the WhatsApp messages, photos and videos you've backed up will still be stored on Google Drive, but they won't count towards your storage limit.
Sadly, there's a catch – WhatsApp will start deleting certain bits of old content.
If you haven't updated your WhatsApp back-up for more than a year then it'll be completely wiped from Google Drive.
That means any old messages or pictures you thought you had kept safe in the cloud will disappear forever.
"Due to a new agreement between WhatsApp and Google, WhatsApp backups will no longer count against Google Drive storage quota," Google explained in an email to users.
"However, any WhatsApp backups that have not been updated in more than a year will automatically be removed from storage."
It's not a huge surprise that this change is being made.
After all, Google offering unlimited WhatsApp storage probably means more users will take advantage of the free service.
So Google will be keen to cull old back-ups to free up some valuable space. After all, more than 1.5billion people use WhatsApp each month.
Sadly, it's possible that some people might miss the alert – and lose their online valuables for good.
Importantly, messages won't actually be deleted from your app, but they will be deleted from Google Drive.
So if you change phones or delete WhatsApp and want to restore your messages from the back-up, you might not be able to.
Google said that the new system will "go into effect for all users" on November 12, 2018.
It advises: "To avoid the loss of any backups, we recommend that people manually back up WhatsApp before November 12, 2018."
How to manually back up your WhatsApp
First, make sure you have a Google account and have Google Drive installed on your phone.
Also, switch onto Wi-Fi, so you don't use up valuable data saving all of your messages and photos to the cloud.
Then open your WhatsApp app and go into Menu.
From there, go to Settings, then Chats, then Chat Back Up.
If you select Back Up then everything on your phone should automatically be backed up to Google Drive.
You can set WhatsApp to make regular back-ups, which we recommend.
That way, your messages will be safe – and can be restored if you ever lose your phone, or change to a new model.

A new form of advertising is hitting the nation and it is coming soon to a street near you. Fleet Wraps are becoming the new wave of the future for advertising. Some companies might only have a few cars that they are willing to advertise their business on, while others will have many. It is those companies that will benefit greatly from fleet wraps. Fleet wraps are advertisements on vehicles that are driven by the employees of the company the fleet wraps are promoting. They stop at job sites, travel down busy streets and get stuck in traffic. The drivers are doing their jobs while advertising the company. This type of advertising can be much more beneficial than the traditional forms of advertising. Think about how often trucks are on the road or for that matter any vehicle driven by a company. By using a custom fleet wrap, the graphics can create up to 16 million impressions over the course of a year. Most often the fleet wraps contain more than just your companies name and number. The key to fleet wraps is the eye catching design. Most companies who design wraps are taking them to the next level. These companies will often offer custom design graphics. They work hand in hand in hand with their clients to create the ideal graphic design for their vehicles. These companies know how important it is to make the advertisements look interesting and attractive without being tacky or tasteless. There are many benefits for companies who use fleet wraps as their advertising weapons. For starts they are cheaper than other advertising means. Purchasing billboard space can be expensive and sometimes it is not even noticed by drivers. Another pro is that fleet wraps do the hard part and that is advertising your company. All that needs to be done is have the vehicle driven around as they would any normal day and the vehicle is doing all the work for you. It is like driving around a moving billboard. Companies who have used fleet wraps have reported a significant increase in business. Even more of an increase than they would having a local ad in the paper, or a TV spot. You will see that most fleet wrap designs are eye catching and bright. They make people take notice of the vehicle and it is done creatively. Their whole mission is to help companies promote their business. Each design should be handcrafted to meet the customer's needs. It is so much more detailed than just a company name and a phone number. There is usually a design along with the company's logo if any. Nowadays people are too busy to skim through the local paper to catch any advertisements for a company, and with the invention of TIVO and the DVR, people are fast forwarding more and more through commercials. These same people however cannot miss a fleet wrap as it passes them by on the street, or even if they drive past one that is parked at job site. There is a whole new audience out there on the road, which just might be looking for what that company is promoting.
