Lord Macaulay's Speech On Indian Education
The great educator of Islam, imam Ghazali was born in a time, when doubts were raised from various sides about Islam. Whatever the motivations, the upshot is clear: The Democratic Party has lost its way on public education. In fact Plato himself did not contribute directly to science and mathematics but he stress on these subjects, his philosophy of education influenced the developments of these subjects in centuries to come.
Their job is to promote knowledge, improve the life of people, and help them to acquire desirable ethics through education. Few people in Western Europe were receiving any kind of schooling and across the globe; contributions were being made to the future of education.
In the 1990s, the computers invade the classroom around the world and now it the most important part of the curriculum. The purpose of primitive education is thus to guide children to becoming good members of their tribe or band. VA can help you cover the cost of furthering your education and skills through benefit programs that may pay tuition, housing, training, and other costs.
Rather than seeking to possess and control, in this mode we engage with the world. Plato presents his ideas for an ideal society in his Republic and he provided detail about the curriculum and system of education. Education is the only cure of the instability in the state and can bring revolution through evolution, by eradicating the social evils.
Plato not only consider better education for men but also believe on strong body and sound mind, for body he recommend sports and for sound mind music. Both the winners (high achievers) and the losers (low achievers) will see the education system as just and fair, since statuses achieved in a situation where all have an equal chance.

Coming Soon
New functional Blocks
Currently we are working on Conveyor Belt blocks and Piston blocks. Our aim is to have 4-8 new functional blocks added per month.
In-game video
This neat little feature will allow you to record HD videos from within the game.
Also in the works, are a TV block, which will let players stream movies directly onto blocks, so you can make TV or a Cinema.
Online Model Library
One of the most important features of the game will be introduced soon. The Online Model Library (OML) will allow you to save blueprints of your buildings etc. and share them with other players. With OML you will have access to all you need to build a metropolis.
Life and death
We are working on the player health bar for the survivor mode in the game. How much damage do you take from falling, getting bitten by wolves etc.
Creative Mode and Experimental Mode
Soon we will enable Custom Mode and Experimental Mode. In Custom Mode you can build with unlimited blocks, models and constructions. In Experimental Mode, you can start volcanos anywhere you like, reverse grativy and play with a number of other experimental settings.
Further down the road
Some of these projects are actually being worked on right now, while others are more the stuff that developers' dreams are made of.
New regions, more to explore
For the exploring player, we want to add regions with the flavor of real life cultures, architecture, terrains aso. We might take you through the wheat fields of Russia to the Chinese Wall or through the Sahara desert to Central Africa.
Pets and farm animals
If you are the more stay at home kind of player, we want to give you challenges in taking care of pets or even a farm full of animals.
Space travel
What is a modern world without space travel? It might not be in the first update, but rest assured, that our developers dream big, whenever they have time to sleep!
Where do we want to take this project?
The real world equals real challenges. We want to make Build a World as close to the real world as possible, with as many of the real world phenomena, mechanics and wonders in the game as we can manage. In a sandbox the real world might be even more fun than anything from the realms of fantasy, and requires just as much from your imagination to deal with.
The current powersystems in BAW are very flexible and easy to use. The user is able to connect power-producing machines, and power-consuming machines or blocks by just attaching power lines between them. Entire power systems can be interconnected, or disconnected on the fly. We want to expand this system with even more machines and constructions that interact with the world. We want players to be able to build a fully working metropolis, with power plants, electricity and a night light to envy.
As for movement and 'transport' in the world, in time we will be adding user-defined energy consuming vehicles, trains, planes, hot-air balloons submarines and many more.
Animals are to be a part of the natural world. Currently we have a shark, a wolf and a bear, but we want to add plenty more animals for the different zones of the world, so they appear in the natural habitat. Also it will be possible to capture wild animals and tame them, or put them in your own Zoo.
Farming and animal household has been a big request from our testers, so will want to add a full farming aspect, where players can grow crops and harvest. Of course influenced by the effects of the weather and seasons.
As for gaming modes, we are working on teammode and clanmode, which will enable two (or more) players to share inventory, constructions, tools etc. This will be especially interesting in team vs. team mode, or clan vs. clan game modes.
Detailed customisation of the players avatar.
Player achievement and ranking system.
On top of the real world goal, we are adding 'future technologies'. Technologies that are not quite here yet, but could be possible in the next 100 years. How about a Force Field Generator. Some things are just to much fun not to have!

A Highly Purified Neurotoxin
The active ingredient in XEOMIN is a type of botulinum toxin called incobotulinumtoxinA. Merz, the maker of XEOMIN, uses a proprietary purification process to remove accessory proteins from botulinum toxin A to make XEOMIN. Being FDA approved, Xeomin can be used both on-label and off-label to treat the same facial lines treated by Botox and Dysport, including frown lines, crow's feet and forehead wrinkles.
How It Works
Frown lines form when facial expressions are made as the muscle under the skin contracts. Over time, as your skin ages, these repeated expressions cause lasting frown lines. Neurotoxins, such as XEOMIN®, are prescription medications that block the release of chemicals that cause these muscle contractions. So frown lines are softened.
How Does Xeomin® Work?
State-of-the-Art Manufacturing Process
XEOMIN® is made through a unique precision manufacturing process that isolates the therapeutic component of the molecule and removes the "accessory proteins" that don't play an active role in treatment. The active ingredient in XEOMIN is a type of botulinum toxin called incobotulinumtoxinA. XEOMIN® is a highly purified neurotoxin.

What do you want to be? As children most of us could answer this question instantly. "I want to be a pilot!" or "I want to be a policeman/policewoman!" you might once have said. Yet for a lot of us as we age, our conviction for flying aircraft or arresting thieves wanes. Faced with an overwhelming amount of choice and fast looming decisions, we don't make choices that enable us to become doctors or lawyers but instead we pick something broad. Something that allows us to delay the moment where we eventually need to decide what we want to become. That's not a path you want to be on.
Pick a career you love
Then how do you know what career you should pick? Think back to your childhood, what did you want to do then and what's changed? If there are obstacles to you fulfilling your dream then the choices you make must be focused towards removing them. If what you want to do won't pay the bills then you'll need to work for a few years in a career that allows you to acquire enough funds to do what you really love.
But what if you don't know what it is you love doing? In that case you do everything you possibly can. If you're reading this, chances are you're still at a point in life that affords you some flexibility. In other words you haven't locked yourself into one specific career path. Take up new hobbies, part time jobs, learn new skills, the point being to expose yourself to as many different things as you possibly can to try and find something you really enjoy. You may suddenly find you enjoy working with animals and would like to pick a career based around that, or perhaps you enjoy learning about another culture, in which case your job should allow you to expand your knowledge of its traditions.
What do you want to become?
What if then you still don't really feel the pull towards one thing in particular? Working with animals might be enjoyable but maybe not to such an extent that you would want to base your entire working life around them. What you then do is reflect upon what you want to be, but don't think about careers. Think about how you'd like to describe yourself in 5 years, 10 years, maybe even 15 years down the road. Do you want to be rich or would you derive more enjoyment from a fulfilling family life? Your employment should then become something that helps you achieve those goals.
Every single thing we ever work to achieve eventually boils down to happiness. What we all truly want is to be happy. You need to find what it is that will give you lasting happiness in life.
Take some time out and give this consideration.
Going through hundreds of pages of biomedical science won't help you as much as setting aside 30 minutes to consider what really makes you happy. So long as you don't know what you yearn for you'll be running towards a goal you may not know, or want.
You may consider your lack of decisiveness as a drawback, but it's in fact a major advantage. The fact you don't want something particular is in fact an asset because you're flexible. If you cannot find employment in one sector you can easily work in any other one so long you achieve your goals. You may envy a friend who knows what s/he wants to be, but that friend cannot do that.

Yes, it should be legalPosted: March 8, 2006 Filed under: Blogging, Politics 2 Comments
Good post from Mark Cuban about the hypocrisy involved in having partially legalized gambling like we have in this country. Why is it legal some places and not others? Beats me. I ask the same question about why marijuana is illegal. More ramifications of a country founded by Puritans, and the case of marijuana, laws passed by racists (yes, I'm serious, look it up).
Jesus Adam, I thought Arkansas had a bunch of wackos…Posted: October 5, 2005 Filed under: Politics 3 Comments
Boy, those Indiana videos you do are really being put into perspective:
According to a draft of the recommended change in state law, every woman in Indiana seeking to become a mother through assisted reproduction therapy such as in vitro fertilization, sperm donation,and egg donation, must first file for a "petition for parentage" in their local county probate court.
Or, in more real language, from the Pandagon blog:
Indiana's legislature is considering a law mandating that a man better get laid if a baby is being made. Seriously, that's pretty much how the bill is worded.
Republican lawmakers are drafting new legislation that will make marriage a requirement for motherhood in the state of Indiana, including specific criminal penalties for unmarried women who do become pregnant "by means other than sexual intercourse."
Damn those doctors and their playing god in baby making. There's only one holy way to get the baby juice to the baby juice recepticle, and that's with the lights off in the missionary position.
Two perspectives on Intelligent DesignPosted: October 1, 2005 Filed under: Politics 1 Comment
University of Arkansas, Fort Smith had a recent lecture on Intelligent Design. Delagar, a blogger I quite like, represents his perspective on the meeting here, and KFSM, which I think is a fairly poor excuse for a news organization and always has been, represents their perspective here. Notice the spin on both. Very interesting any time you can see documentation of two perspectives of the same event, especially something as controversial as ID. As far as my opinion, rebranding Creationism as Intelligent Design and then starting the same old argument all over again, is just arguing. Unless we want to tell the story of all the creation myths in our schools (some of which are pretty damn cool), I'd say lets leave the creation stories to evolution and the scientists.
I didn't vote!Posted: September 23, 2005 Filed under: Politics 3 Comments
Couple of comments in the last post about me not voting in the last presidential election. Well, as with all things I don't do it usually comes down to laziness. I moved to Washington and didn't get around to registering to vote here, because I had never changed my drivers license to establish residency. I was still registered in Arkansas, but I didn't get around to setting up to vote absentee. So I didn't vote. However, I've never bought into the idea that since I didn't vote I can't complain. I tend to take the George Carlin view of things, which I'll quote here:
"I don't vote. Two reasons. First of all it's meaningless; this country was bought and sold a long time ago. Secondly, I believe if you vote, you have no right to complain. People like to twist that around – they say, 'If you don't vote, you have no right to complain', but where's the logic in that? If you vote and you elect dishonest, incompetent people into office who screw everything up, you are responsible for what they have done. You caused the problem; you voted them in; you have no right to complain. I, on the other hand, who did not vote, who in fact did not even leave the house on election day, am in no way responsible for what these people have done and have every right to complain about the mess you created that I had nothing to do with.�-George Carlin
Blog War!Posted: September 23, 2005 Filed under: Politics 8 Comments
I love Politics. It gets people so riled up, myself included. To give you an update, since this has been transpiring in the comments sections of our blogs, Sarah wrote a post, which basically asks, if you were a photographer and George W. Bush was drowning, would you take a Pulitzer winning photograph or save the man. I left this comment on her blog:
Sadly, in a situation like this, anyone who would look at anyone as anything other than a human being is no one I'd want to be associated with, I suppose yourself included. However, this "Moral Question" is total crap to begin with, and either if you wrote it yourself or are simply passing it along makes me wonder why anyone would bother to read your ramblings.
I thought it was pretty appropriate. Obviously, I pissed her off, because she left this comment:
Judging from your comment on my blog, you must be a republican. (There's a warning in my profile that you won't like what you read if you're a republican, btw)–so why didn't you just heed the warning and pass it by? I know how repugs don't like to read anything that doesn't agree with their own skewed view of the world.
You say I'm a horrible person for "not treating people like human beings". Are you KIDDING me?! Do you REALLY think George W. Chimp treats the average Americans as a human being? Give me a break! Georgie doesn't even KNOW any poor people–he'd have to PAY some poor guy to come visit or talk to him just so he could say he KNEW a poor person.
Georgie-Boy didn't give a rat's behind about all those poor folks trapped in New Orleans. It took him FOUR DAYS to even get off his couch in Crawford and reluctantly schlep back to Washington.
That being said, why do you think our Chimp-in-Chief should be treated any better or with any more respect than he treats the average middle class or poor American?
Firstly, she assumes I'm a Republican. I tend to vote Republican in a lot of positions, but I'm a swing voter. I would have voted for Kerry had I have bothered to register to vote in State of Washington. Secondly, what is up with people and their hatred for and assumptions about someone they don't know? It can't possibly be healthy to hold that much resentment for someone to where you spend the majority of your waking life filled with hate and spite for someone who merely holds a political office. I wonder about these people, especially the political bloggers, because they are consumed by their politics. I don't even think the politicians are as consumed by their politics as these people.
Now, the humorous thing about this is that Sarah is obviously a Democrat, and immediately, with no prompting from me, you can see her attempt to steer the debate to Bush being ignorant of the problem of poverty in the US. Nice diversion, but I'm not falling for it. Hell, I totally agree that Bush has a terrible track record on addressing poverty. However, this firstly wasn't about Bush, it was about Sarah, and secondly it certainly wasn't about poverty. My comments were merely about that I felt the question was incredibly crass and stupid to begin with, irregardless of the politics. If I saw Adolf Hitler drowning I'd attempt to save him (besides the fact that it's nearly impossible to recognize a drowning man), because no matter what a man has done in his lifetime, he deserves the same amout of respect in an emergency as anyone else. That doesn't mean you shouldn't use caution, since there's no way of telling how much respect they'll give you.
To Sarah: again, this wasn't about politics. I happily read perspectives from both sides of the aisle daily. I enjoy good writing and healthy debate. Zealots are of no interest to me. If you're unable to see why I felt your "Moral Question" post was both inane and inhumane, if you can only see the world in red and blue, if everything is about your political affiliation and nothing is about actual people, caring and human decency, then there's really not much else to talk about. If you've lost your ability to empathize with a drowning man, no matter the man, and extend out your hand to help save him, then I am truly sorry for what must have happened to you to make you look at the world in that way.
Middle America ExplainedPosted: September 7, 2005 Filed under: Politics 5 Comments
In December 2001, Daniel Brooks headed to Franklin County, Pennslyvania, a short distance outside Montgomery County Maryland (just outside of DC), to see what life was like in a Red area, shortly after the election. What he found is what those of us who have lived in both areas already know, that there isn't a class divide between these areas. These are not the areas of the poor and downtrodden, these are the areas of the content. These people think they have it pretty good, and largely they're right. They're hurting, they're losing their good-paying middle class jobs offshores and have been for years and now the jobs they're sending their kids to school for are being outsourced as well, but overall they're a very happy and genial people. These are the people I was raised around, and overall they're just a much happier people. It's not that they're friendlier, they're just happier. Life isn't about getting ahead, it's about providing something a little better for your children. They're much more concerned with what people in the neighboring county or the neighboring block have than the rich opulance of the cities within driving distance of their hometown. We have not so much a class divide in this country as a cultural one, and until the left can come to understand these people as people who already feel they're rich, no matter what disaster the Republican Party finds themselves in, they will continue to lose election after election. Reaching these people is about telling them not how politicans are going to improve their lives and help them better themselves, it's about telling them how those politicians agree with their way of life and their choices. As someone who's lived in Red America and someone who is seriously considering if not already decided to move back there, I know that's what I want to hear. A choice quote from the article:
The kinds of distinctions we make in Blue America are different. In my world the easiest way to categorize people is by headroom needs. People who went to business school or law school like a lot of headroom. They buy humongous sport-utility vehicles that practically have cathedral ceilings over the front seats. They live in homes the size of country clubs, with soaring entry atriums so high that they could practically fly a kite when they come through the front door. These big-headroom people tend to be predators: their jobs have them negotiating and competing all day. They spend small fortunes on dry cleaning. They grow animated when talking about how much they love their blackberries. They fill their enormous wall space with huge professional family portraits—Mom and Dad with their perfect kids (dressed in light-blue oxford shirts) laughing happily in an orchard somewhere.
Small-headroom people tend to have been liberal-arts majors, and they have liberal-arts jobs. They get passive-aggressive pleasure from demonstrating how modest and environmentally sensitive their living containers are. They hate people with SUVs, and feel virtuous driving around in their low-ceilinged little Hondas, which often display a RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS bumper sticker or one bearing an image of a fish with legs, along with the word "Darwin," just to show how intellectually superior to fundamentalist Christians they are.
You have to read this article. It's a detailed account of the differences in our society that everyone should read. Yes, you did read right, I am currently seriously considering moving back to Fort Smith, Arkansas. Sometimes you don't realize what you're missing until it's gone. More postings on this subject later. Other words of wisdom for the day, "The love you take is equal to the love you make," John Lennon (I'm assuming, could be McCartney).
Keith Olbermann says it betterPosted: September 6, 2005 Filed under: Politics Leave a comment
I was going to write a long blog post about my frustrations and anger over the situation developing in New Orleans, but Keith Olbermann says it better (via Dave Winer):
Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff said it all, starting his news briefing Saturday afternoon: "Louisiana is a city that is largely underwater…"
Well there's your problem right there.
If ever a slip-of-the-tongue defined a government's response to a crisis, this was it.
I can't imagine a time in my memory where the government, in doing the job it is fundamentally in the business of doing, has failed us this badly. This will marr Bush's presidency and his legacy to the world. The saddest thing is, throughout this crisis, he and his administration have seemed oblivious to all the facts anybody who is watching CNN knows.

BUS400N Management Control (N)
Spring 2020
Learning outcome
When companies reach a certain size it will become difficult for owners or the top management to give all employees detailed instructions on how to perform certain tasks. Instead there will be economic control mechanisms in place allowing a certain freedom for the managers and employees of the different units in the company. In this course we discuss how management control tools can be used to maximize the value creation. The effects may depend on the management traditions, the organization and the culture of the company, and it is therefore important to understand how the underlying mechanisms work and relate to each other.
Knowledge - After completing the course students:
- Understand the basic ideas behind management control in large companies
- Understand the role of the headquarters of the company
- Understand how coordination mechanisms and management control tools can affect the activities in different ways in different companies
- Are able to discuss how rewards can be used as a management tool, based on economic theory, insights from sociology and psychology and practical experience
- Understand the effects of using different financial and other key performance indicators in the management control system
- Understand how various planning methods can be used in a company, to set targets and follow up managers; e.g. budgets, rolling forecasts, balanced scorecards and risk management
- Understand the motives behind transfer pricing and be able to develop transfer pricing principles for a company (also for international transactions)
Skills - After completing the course students can:
- Use linear and stepwise economic models to find optimal incentives in simple settings
- Calculate the cost of capital of a company and different financial performance measures (e.g. ROCE, EVA and CFROI), and understand how the measures are affected by depreciation plan, growth and inflation
- Determine the theoretically correct transfer price based on market prices or costs and be able to discuss what the transfer price should be based on its purpose
Competences - After completing the course students can:
- Reflect on how components of a management control system interact
- Reflect on what positive and negative effects a new management control system may have in a specific organization
- ECTS Credits
- 7.5

The city is constantly looking for ways to make Subiaco an even more liveable, safe and accessible city. This page contains information about some of the programs that help to achieve this.
The City of Subiaco has now adopted the Community Safety and Crime Prevention Plan 2016-2020. The plan aims to improve safety in Subiaco through city initiatives and cooperation with police, businesses, residents and community organisations.
The plan is available for viewing here (PDF, 3.0MB). To provide feedback on the plan, please contact the city on 9237 9260.
Neighbourhood Watch is a program to help neighbours watch our for neighbours.The City of Subiaco supports the Neighbourhood Watch program, aimed at keeping the community of Subiaco alert, aware and safe.
The city would love to see residents running their own Neighbourhood Watch Network. A network is simply a group of neighbours who know each other, look out for each other and will usually have a primary method of sharing information. This method could include email, SMS, Facebook, WhatsApp or other similar platforms to share information and communicate with each other.
A crucial element is getting to know your neighbours and encouraging others to do the same. This is a community led initiative and not affiliated with the city, so whilst the city and Neighbourhood Watch WA can provide some support and assistance, you would need to be the driver.
To establish a network is easy, just follow these steps:
A number of resources are available at the City of Subiaco Library.
For more information please contact the Community Development Team 9237 9222 or Neighbourhood Watch WA on 9222 1513 or visit their website.

Shelby Earl
With music described as "gritty and soulful, raucous and beautiful," Seattle singer-songwriter Shelby Earl was named by NPR/LA Times music critic Ann Powers as her "new favorite songwriter" (see below for full letter), and her solo debut album, Burn the Boats (produced by John Roderick of the Long Winters, out on Local 638 Records) was named the "#1 Outstanding 2011 Album You Might Have Missed" by Amazon.com. She has since garnered praise from the likes of Rolling Stone, Paste Magazine, NPR, KEXP, No Depression, American Songwriter and many more. Earl's sophomore album Swift Arrows (produced by Damien Jurado), was released in late-2013 to further critical acclaim, and in the words of Benjamin Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie/Postal Service) it "proves [Shelby] has the most heartbreakingly beautiful voice in Seattle." Earl is currently at work on her third full-length studio album, due out in early 2017.

Our Blessed Lord promises us that the road to sanctity and eternal happiness is hard. However, even though it is hard, your desire is all God needs from you so that He can give you the strength to get on and stay on that road which leads to the greatest amount of peace, happiness and contentment which this life can offer.
Our Lord calls us to begin by simply sanctifying our lives in the little things we do every day, in our relationships with our parents, brothers and sisters, teachers and friends. Our struggle for holiness requires growth in prayer and love of the sacraments, to deepen our relationship with him.
There are well defined steps that we take toward holiness. We have to start out on our spiritual journey slowly with simple prayers and devotions, step by step. As we become stronger and more sure of ourselves and confident of God's loving affection, we can increase our steps gradually until we can run toward Him. Just as an architect has a design for his building, we have to have a design to help us reach God, our final goal. We could call it our "plan of life."
A Plan of Life
1) Begin each day by making the Morning Offering:
Here's the one I use: "O my Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers, works, joys and sufferings of this day, for all the intentions of Your Most Sacred Heart, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in reparation for my sins, for the intentions of all my relatives and friends, and in particular for the intentions of our most Holy Father, the Pope. Take my body, Jesus, my eyes, my ears, my tongue. Never let them, Jesus, help to do You wrong. Take my heart and mind and fill them with love for You. All I have I give to You. I give my very self to You. Amen.
2) Take a couple of minutes around the middle of the day to stop and talk to God.
3) Each night before you go to bed make an examination of conscience, asking the Holy Spirit to enlighten you as to how you have loved today. Then pray the Act of Contrition:
My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things. I firmly intend, with your help, to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin. Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us. In his name, my God, have mercy.
4) Find some time during the day to pray at least one decade of the Rosary (even if it is while you are driving).
5) Never miss Sunday Mass and go to Daily Mass whenever you can.
6) Make a good confession once a month.
7) Try to make a holy hour in front of the Blessed Sacrament each week.
8) Set aside 10-15 minutes for Spiritual or Scriptural reading and meditation doing Lectio Divina.
"Lectio divina" means literally "divine reading." It is a monastic designation for the meditative reading of the Scriptures. The practice could be described as dwelling on a scriptural text in the divine presence for the sake of radical change in Christ. We could say that "lectio" is making one's own a small selection, phrase, or word of the Bible, in pursuit of greater faith, hope, and charity. In any event, "lectio divina" is prayer over the Scriptures. The monks of the early and medieval church developed this into a fine art.
Reading. Reading in the monastic tradition involved placing the divine word on the lips. It was a focusing and centering device. One would gently read a selection from the Bible, and when a thought, line, or word stood out and captured the reader's attention, he or she would stop there and dwell on that text, carefully repeating it over and over. At each distraction one would simply return to this repetition. He or she would stay with that same text until it dried up, and would then move on with the reading until finding another engaging text.
Meditation. Once the word of God is on the lips and in the mouth, one begins to bite and chew it; one begins to meditate on it. To meditate means to ruminate, to chew the word, dwelling at leisure on a morsel to extract the meaning of the text. Every word of Scripture was seen as intended for oneself. Every text spoke of Christ and His relationship to the one praying. One does not work hard at this prayer, but simply keeps listening to the words being repeated, letting them suggest their own images, reflections, intuitive thoughts. One ponders and perceives the hidden lessons in the word of God in such a way that wisdom for life is learned. Meditation seeks to acquire the mind of Christ. One slowly begins to see what the scriptures are saying.
Prayer. "Oration" or prayer is the response of the heart to the word of God we have heard addressing us through the Scriptures. It is petition, it is affective conversation with sentiments of love, it is resolution to grow in the virtues of Christ, it is compunction of heart for one's sins, it is silent company-keeping, it is the loving gaze.
Contemplation. Here God slakes the soul's thirst and feeds its hunger. God lifts the one praying above the normal meditative self into the sphere of experienced transcendence. Here the Spirit prays in the human spirit. The love of God is no longer abstract, but concretely poured into the receiving self. One can see oneself being loved and loving in return. We are speaking of pure gift at this point.
Practice the Presence of God
The Practice of the Presence of God
by Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection
The holiest and most necessary practice in the spiritual life is that of the presence of God. It consists in taking delight in and becoming accustomed to His divine company, speaking humbly and conversing lovingly with Him all the time, at every moment, without rule or measure; especially in times of temptation, suffering, aridity, weariness, even infidelity and sin. We must continually apply ourselves so that all our actions, without exception, become a kind of brief conversation with God, not in a contrived manner but coming from the purity and simplicity of our hearts.
During our work and other activities, even during our reading and writing, no matter how spiritual – and, I emphasize, even during our religious exercises and vocal prayers – we must stop for a moment, as often as possible, to adore God in the depths of our hearts, to savor him, even though in passing and stealthily. Since you are aware that God is present to you during your actions, that he is in the depths and center of your heart, stop your activities and even your vocal prayers, at least from time to time, to adore him within, to praise him, to ask his help, to offer him your heart, and to thank him. Nothing is more pleasing to God than to turn away from all creatures many times throughout the day to withdraw and adore him present within. Moreover, this turning inward imperceptibly destroys the self-love found only among creatures. In the end, we can offer God no greater evidence of our fidelity than by frequently renouncing and scorning creatures in order to enjoy their Creator for a moment. This exercise gradually destoys the self-love only found among creatures. Turning to God frequently rids us of self-love without our even realizing it.
This presence of God is the soul's life and nourishment, which can be acquired by the Lord's grace. Here are the means: a great fidelity to the practice of his presence and to the fostering of this awareness of God within, which must always be carried out gently, humbly, and lovingly, without giving in to any disturbance. We must take special care that this inner awareness precedes our activities somewhat, that it accompanies them from time to time. We must not get discouraged when we forget this holy practice, for all that is needed is to calmly take it up again; once the habit is formed we will find contentment in everything.
This practice of the presence of God is very helpful for mental prayer, for it will be easier to remain calm during mental prayer when the mind, not allowed to take flight during the day, is kept faithfully in God's presence.
Since all of life is full of dangers and hazards, it is impossible to avoid them without God's constant help. We cannot ask him for this help if we are not with him. We cannot be with him unless we think of him often. We cannot think of him often except by a holy habit of keeping ourseves in his presence, asking him for the graces we need at every moment.
Nothing can comfort us more in life's trials and sufferings than this intimate conversation with God. Practiced faithfully, all physical illnesses will be easy to bear. God often permits us to suffer in order to purify our souls and to make us remain with him. If we are with God, and want him alone, we are incapable of suffering. We must therefore adore him in our infirmities, offering him our sufferings from time to time, asking him lovingly, as a child does his father, to be conformed to his holy will, and for the help of his grace. These short prayers are very appropriate for the sick and are an excellent remedy for pain.
We do not always have to be in church to be with God. We can make of our hearts an oratory where we can withdraw from time to time to converse with him there. Everyone is capable of these familiar conversations with God. A brief lifting up of the heart is enough, a brief remembrance of God, an act of inner adoration, even though on the run. These prayers, short as they may be, are very pleasing to God.

Discovering that an elderly relative needs assistance in their day-to-day living arrangements can be a difficult time for families. With so many of us working to earn a living, dropping everything to arrange for care isn't straightforward. It's all too easy to feel guilty that you simply can't take on the role of caregiver yourself, even when it's completely impractical to do so.
With an increasingly ageing population, it is important to establish the most appropriate form of care on an individual basis. There is no 'one size fits all' solution, and most of us will at some point be faced with helping to make major life decisions, in conjunction with our loved ones, as senior members of our families begin to need assistance in all sorts of little ways.
It's a huge worry when our loved ones become unable to cope on their own. Whether you live nearby or at the other end of the country, many people experience a feeling of helplessness that they are unable to provide the level of support that a relative requires, along with a desire to help to find an appropriate solution to the problem.
As our loved ones become older, and start to experience difficulties in managing on their own, we have to consider the options for their future wellbeing. Care homes have been subject to some very bad press in the past, and many elderly people live in dread of being taken to live in unfamiliar surroundings with people they don't know. We want the absolute best for our older relatives, so it's important to consider all the options.
A recent poll by YouGov revealed that out of 2,000 people surveyed, only 1 percent were happy with the idea of going into a care home. This shows how much negativity there is surrounding the subject of residential care homes, made worse by the horror stories so frequently talked about in the media. Most people believe that a care home is where they will ultimately end up, but in fact, there are a wide variety of alternatives when it comes to elderly care.
When a loved one receives a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease it can be frightening and distressing time. The important thing to remember is that you are not alone - there are three-quarters of a million sufferers in the UK today, and this number is set to increase over the coming years.
A dementia diagnosis is distressing both for your elderly loved one and also for you and other family members. There is a tendency to think about everything that will be lost, and you will all need to take time coming to terms with the new challenges you face. However, it is important to focus on quality of life, and with some adjustments, your loved one will be able to retain a good standard of living.
With as many as one-in-three care homes deemed inadequate or requiring improvement, it's no wonder that many elderly people are reluctant to see them as a viable alternative to remaining in their own homes. Local authorities are overstretched, and the elderly care sector is suffering as a result. A rapidly growing elderly population means that the issue is something we urgently need to address.
There are a wide variety of activities for older people to enjoy in the Midlands. This central area of the UK sometimes referred to as the Heart of England, has a rich history and many interesting places to visit. The Midlands is divided into the East and West Midlands and roughly covers the area that was known as the Kingdom of Mercia in Medieval times.
Whether your ageing parents live alone, with you, receive home care or even private live-in care in Hertfordshire, you are bound to want to go out together for an enjoyable day out now and then. The county has numerous beautiful open spaces, parks and gardens as well as many options for an entertaining day out with older members of the family. We list some of the best.
Planning a short break or holiday, or even a day out, with elderly parents can seem daunting. Getting out and about is stimulating for every age group, though, and with planning, you can enjoy some lovely days out together in Norfolk.
If you are responsible for arranging care for your elderly parents, you will have explored all the possibilities to enable them to remain living independently in their own home for as long as possible. Fortunately, Birmingham has many opportunities for things you can do with older family members. Here are eight great ideas for places to visit.
London has a lot to offer for people of all ages - and part of good elderly care is helping to keep the mind active and engaged. Even if your parents have special requirements such as difficulty walking or memory problems, it's still possible to have a great time in the capital.
One of the most beautiful counties in the United Kingdom, Devon offers spectacular countryside and picturesque, quintessentially English towns and villages. If you're visiting the area with your ageing parents or you are lucky enough to live in this lovely region, there are plenty of fun days out you can enjoy here together.
Dorset is full of great days out and things to do with family members of all ages. As anyone with an older parent will know, though, a trip can require plenty of advanced planning. Finding suitable destinations that would be of interest to someone who needs dementia or Alzheimer's care is only the beginning.
Whether your elderly parents live in the Brighton area or you're just visiting this picturesque English seaside town with them, there are plenty of fun and enjoyable ways of spending time together here. Brighton has much to offer senior citizens, both residents and tourists alike, with a thriving arts scene, a wide range of beautiful and historic buildings and, of course, the fantastic seafront.
Planning ahead and ensuring that there is accessibility are both key to a successful day out with an older parent. Finding appropriate destinations that will be relaxing to someone with dementia care needs or other special requirements, is another important factor.
With so many options available to those looking for care for themselves or their loved ones, it's important that all questions are answered before making a decision around what type of care to choose. Live-in care is becoming a more and more popular choice for elderly people and their loved ones. Not only does it enable the older person or couple to remain in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes, but also allows for far more flexibility and control over their day-to-day lives than would be the case with other traditional care options.
Just a short distance from London, the county of Essex offers beautiful countryside, picturesque rural villages and vibrant, interesting towns and cities. If you are visiting this lovely corner of England with your elderly parents or you are lucky enough to live nearby, there are plenty of things to do on a day out. If your loved one is receiving care at home and wants to get out and about, here are eight great suggestions of things to do while you are visiting Essex.

Arundel is a vibrant and historic market town, nestled at the foot of the South Downs in West Sussex. Its skyline is dominated by an 11th-century castle and Victorian Gothic cathedral, and the heart of the town hosts a variety of family orientated activities and cultural attractions.

If your elderly parents are currently receiving Live-in Care in Surrey, you will find a range of fantastic days out to enjoy in this beautiful area and lovely opportunities to spend quality time with each other.
When enjoying days out with parents or older relatives, it's handy to look for places that are suitable for their needs and interests, especially if they have reduced mobility or are receiving live-in Care in Lincolnshire. Whatever care your loved one requires, from help with their mobility or companion care to help them get out and about.
Elderly care is a subject that is of increasing importance, the care home model is being replaced by high-quality live-in care packages, which leave families free to spend time with their ageing parents in more enjoyable ways. Even if one or both of your parents receive Demetia Care or Live-in Care in Shropshire, fun and entertaining days out are still a possibility.
Getting out and about is important for everyone, but particularly for the elderly, who can become housebound. If your parents have live-in care in Gloucestershire, then their caregiver may be able to organise outings to local attractions and events. The numerous cafes and restaurants in Moreton-in-Marsh make this a great place to spend some time, as there is always somewhere close by to stop and relax for a while.
Arranging a holiday or day out in Richmond, Yorkshire with your elderly parents may seem a daunting task, particularly if one or both of them suffer from mobility or other health problems.

Growing older and less able to maintain an independent lifestyle can be hard for an older person to come to terms with, so if your loved one needs help but will not accept it, you need to approach the subject tactfully.
Ask most people, and they will tell you that age means a variety of new hurdles - isolation and resistance to change to name just a few. We look at some of the most commonly held beliefs about growing older, and how applicable they are to today's ageing population.
There are many different types of elder care that are aimed at helping people who can no longer carry out all the normal activities of daily living by themselves.
If your loved one can no longer cope with living on their own without assistance, you should speak to them as soon as you can to discover what type of care they'd like to receieve from the four main types available.
Rather than having to move out of familiar surroundings and learn to adapt to a completely new way of life, care-at-home packages allow your loved one to remain in the familiar surroundings of their own home, with help available throughout the day and night to provide assistance wherever, and whenever, it is needed.
If you are looking for elderly care for a loved one, it is important to know what steps to take to ensure that your loved one receives the best, taiored home help available.

New G Pen Elite Vaporizer – High Quality Great Price
The G Pen Elite - A portable dry herb vaporizer that is made with quality components that costs a fraction of the competition to buy. The G Pen is made by Grenco Science, a company that is known for making quality affordable products and working with some of the industries top celebrities like Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa. We have an article more directed towards the collaborations with Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa that you can read, but for this article we will be focusing on the G Pen Elite. Grenco Science has a wide selection of portable vaping devices that span across all niches of vaping. If you are looking for one of the top concentrate, liquid or dry herb devices for a great price Grenco Science has you covered.
G Pen Elite - Visit Official Site Here
If you are looking for a portable dry herb vaporizer that is super easy to use, with not many parts that can get broken or go wrong, the G Pen Elite vaporizer falls into this category. The G Pen Elite really only has 2 parts that you need to worry about, the device base and the mouthpiece. The device base or main part has a temperature and battery display screen that is actually in a pretty practical location, right by the base of the unit. Also on the main part of the vaporizer is a USB connection that you can use to charge the device, and lastly a power button.
The mouthpiece is the second part of the vaporizer which doubles as an oven lid and air path. The G Pen Elite has a very comfortable mouthpiece that feels a bit nicer than other vape designs. Getting the mouthpiece of can be a bit tricky for the first few times you use the device, but really you just have to get used to it - to take off the mouthpiece you simply push it forward to create a bit of a crease underneath then you can use your fingernails to tug it off.
Using the G Pen Elite Vaporizer
To use your G Pen Elite you will need to first make sure it is charged and you will need to put some ground up herbs in the oven. A good amount of herb to put in your oven is about .25g maybe .35 if you want to go on the heavier side. This amount of herb will give it some breathable room to vape more consistently. Now that you have the oven packed and the device is charged you can proceed to clicking the power button found on the face of the device 5 times to turn it on. When you press the power button 5 times the device will enter into stand by mode. If you would like to choose the temperature before it starts heating up you can use the other two buttons located on the side of the vaporizer. To start heating up the G Pen Elite you press and hold the power button for a second or two. The device will heat up pretty quickly - in about 30 seconds, than you can begin to draw from it. The first hit will help to circulate the air through your herbs, in between your draws you should wait 10 to 15 seconds to allow the oven to get hot hot again, since as you pull air through it you are cooling it down kinda like a temperature tug of war.
The draw resistance on the G Pen Elite is not to bad, you don't have to inhale to hard compared to some vapes. If you notice the draw resistance getting a bit tougher with use than it means you need to clean out the mouthpiece as the air filter can get a bit clogged. Each session with the G Pen Elite with a descent size packing will get you about 10 draws maybe a few more on lower temperatures.
Portability and Battery of the G Pen Elite
The G Pen Elite is a compact portable vaporizer, when you first look at the device with nothing to compare its size to you would think that it is quite a bit larger than what it is in real life. The G Pen Elite kinda looks like a smaller shaver/groomer and also how you charge it through the bottom resembles a shaver as well. The size of the G Pen Elite is actually pretty close to that of the PAX 3 and overall surface space seems to be about equal. The battery life will get you about 1 hour of usage time and takes couple hours to charge.
Where to Get the G Pen Elite Vaporizer
Overall the build quality and performance of the G Pen Elite is above average and really quite impressive for the cost of the unit. Last checked the price to get a G Pen Elite was under $150 which makes this one of the best portable dry herb vaporizers for its price. To learn more or to pickup a G Pen Elite for yourself you can head over to the official Grenco Science G Pen website here.

The History of our Mortgage Lending Company in South Florida:
Home Financial Group was established on July 11th 2002. With the rapid housing market growing every year, HFG was dedicated to help as many people as it could to purchase or refinance their home. Times were good, we opened up an Orlando office and expanded our operations in South Florida. Then the Real Estate bubble burst. Thank to our strong connections with South Florida realtors and client referrals, earned though hard professional, honest and ethical work we were able to survive the dark years of 2008 and 2009. Where 80% of all Mortgage institutions were consolidated or forced to close their doors.
Foreign National Mortgage Loans
Downfalls can be viewed as opportunities. HFG began focusing more on niche clients, such as; FHA and Fannie Mae eligible clients and Foreign Nationals looking to invest in Florida real estate, but needed portfolio type of financing. We established ourselves as the premier Mortgage Professionals helping Foreign Nationals invest in the real estate market. In 2010 we saw an increase in local buyers re-entering the housing market, new laws were passed to protect the consumer as well as the lender-which made it harder to finance-but with a piece of mind that what happened in 2008 was not likely to be repeated. HFG saw an opportunity in the growing real estate market and transitioned from a Brokerage Business to a Licensed Mortgage Lender in 2012. Becoming a Lender opened up new opportunities for us to further assist our clients. We offer clients the best rates and loan terms available in the market and have a dedicated local team in South Florida with the expertise and market knowledge to guide our clients through the home buying Journey; in person, via phone or video.
The Reason We Are Considered To Be The Best Mortgage Lenders in South Florida
HFG uses a unique approach; we make you feel like family but we are also very professional in what we do, we have a "hands on" personable approach and use technology to make the process more efficient. "Sucipere et Finire" ( Latin) is our motto, which means, "to undertake and to conclude". We pride ourselves in not only providing the best customer service, to not only our clients but our Realtors, Insurance, Title Company and other valued partners we work with. The future looks bright for HFG, we have been industry leaders for 15 years, have survived the brutal 2008 crash and are looking onward towards the future. By joining the HFG family and working with us we promise to always be available – we pride ourselves in communication-, have our clients' and partners' best interest in mind and most of all to "undertake and to finish".

Rahiyah Yahya, one of our three PAWA Trekkers, sent us this despatch from Day Four of the PAWA Great Wall of China Trek, raising funds for girls' education across Asia.
PAWA brightens up the Great Wall
Today's trek was breathtaking due to clear, cloudless blue skies. We could really see the distant mountain ranges along the Jinshan ridge Great Wall .
We wore our PAWA T-shirts and it was beautiful to see PAWA's bright orange colours against the blue sky. We got lots of compliments !
Our toughest day is hopefully behind us?
The most difficult was Day 2 climbing the Heavens Ladder 300 steps and Huangyaguan Great Wall as the steps were steep and uneven as well loose stones. The weather was also very close and humid before we got drenched in a tropical storm !
Ever eager for new challenges
I am looking forward to the next PAWA Overseas Challenge as this has been a great experience personally as well as a way of increasing PAWA's profile as several in the group want to support PAWA now.

This issue has been going on for some time but since there might be a resolution I wanted to post about it. My 19-year-old son has been having issues with his girlfriend off and on for the last 3 years. It seems to have come to a breaking point as she has been away at school and he has stayed in the area. We were working out at the gym together regularly until October of last year when he was not making it in and I suspected it had something to do with her. We all know there are ups and downs in teenage relationships so I won't re-hash all of them here, but we could tell this was not a good situation for him by being with her. We had all the talks over the last few years about why he should move on etc… but you all know how it is, until you find out for yourself you kind of don't listen to anyone.
Well he showed up at the gym tonight and said she had texted saying it was over and not to talk to her anymore. He told me about talking with his friends and trying to get it off his chest as I would want him to. If you have children and especially at this age you worry about them getting depressed and have read about these kids committing suicide over relationships. I told him tonight that he really needs to stay broken up this time. I said that if you get a text from her( "don't answer it") call/text your friends, brother me or mom because he didn't need to go back down that road. I told him that the feelings he has for her is like an addiction because every time this happens and she texts he starts talking to her and the cycle starts all over. I told him he is just a teenager and has not figured all this stuff out yet, but I said take this and learn from it and if you are presented with this type of situation again you can remove yourself from it before you get it to deep. I told him that people who truly care about another person don't treat them the way she has been treated. We hugged and I left and he went to run around the track.
I found that in this stage of life that I am here to offer advice to my kids and as they are becoming adults I don't demand or tell them what to do like we did when they were kids. I kind of like this stage of life, not trying to show how much I know but being able to share my experience to help them think through how they should make their decisions and hopefully it turns out to be the right one!!
I am out of time tonight, but tomorrow I want to add the example I gave to help him win this battle with this emotions.

I'VE been leafing through a bunch of cocktail manuals recently. Aside from the vicarious pleasure, I've been trying to figure out the logic of the Louisiana legislature, which, apparently having finished its work with the Hurricane Katrina cleanup, has moved on to the pressing business of selecting an official cocktail for the city of New Orleans. It has chosen the sazerac.
Now, if any American city deserves its own cocktail, it is New Orleans. It certainly has earned the right to unwind with its beverage of choice after the hurricane, not to mention years of failures by the Saints, as well as the presence of hordes on Bourbon Street toting drinks that are decidedly not sazeracs in vessels the size of jerrycans. What's more, the grand opening of the new Museum of the American Cocktail takes place next week in New Orleans, in recognition of the city's long association with joyous imbibing.
But why the sazerac? Oh, cocktail authorities can make an eloquent defense of its historic place in New Orleans. It was not the original cocktail, as some have claimed, but it is one of the oldest, and its history extends back 150 years in New Orleans. It is manly in its simplicity, essentially rye whiskey mixed with a little sugar, a few dashes of Peychaud's bitters and a rinse of absinthe. Peychaud's is a New Orleans product and absinthe well, even when it was illegal, one could still count on tracking it down in New Orleans.
"It's a simple drink that is one of the original whiskey cocktails, and it kind of got fossilized in New Orleans, where it's still made today even as everybody else forgot about it," said David Wondrich, author of "Imbibe!" (Perigee, 2007), a history of classic cocktails.
I grant all these points, yet I have one problem with sazeracs: I really don't like them. Not that I would presume to be the arbiter of New Orleans cocktails, but the anise flavor of the absinthe, along with the herbal-anise flavor of the bitters, renders the sazerac overpoweringly medicinal, and I say that as a licorice lover. May I suggest that instead of being the official cocktail of New Orleans, the sazerac ought to be its official digestif?
In place of the sazerac, I would nominate the Ramos gin fizz. The fizz is a wonderful cocktail. It's refreshing and it's complex, but it's hardly simple. In fact, the authentic Ramos gin fizz is one of the most labor-intensive cocktails around.
Legend has it that Henry Charles Ramos, the New Orleans bartender who invented the drink in the late 19th century, employed young men whose job was to shake the cocktail for longer than could possibly be good for human arms. The problem was to combine two essential ingredients, cream and an egg white, that resist each other with polar opposition. You blend those with gin, naturally, lemon and lime juice, sugar, seltzer and the pièce de résistance orange flower water. Then, as Ramos once told The New Orleans Item-Tribune, you "shake and shake and shake until there is not a bubble left but the drink is smooth and snowy white and of the consistency of good rich milk."
Now that's a delicious cocktail. Lolis Eric Elie, a columnist with The Times-Picayune, agrees with me. "I don't want to sound unpatriotic, but I don't especially like sazeracs," Mr. Elie said. "The New Orleans drink that I think is far and away more tasty is the Ramos gin fizz."
For years the sazerac was made with absinthe substitutes, like Pernod or Herbsaint. And even though absinthe was cleared for sale in the United States last year for the first time since 1912, the cocktail still carries the shiver of forbidden fruit. "They have resurrected a drink that has long been illegal," Mr. Elie said. "I think that's part of the thrill not only to celebrate it but to officialize it."
One could argue that the gin fizz also has a sense of the illicit about it: those raw egg whites will not win the nod of approval from the food police.
Mr. Wondrich, for one, seemed Solomon-like when I asked him which cocktail he preferred. "I love a sazerac," he said. "It's poetry in a glass, though so's a gin fizz. I can't have too many of those because of all the cream and the eggs. Of course, I can't have too many sazeracs either, because I'll fall down."
To decide for yourself, here are recipes for each cocktail. Both are adapted from historic New Orleans recipes recounted in "Imbibe!"

Fairfield pavilion to honor Durrell's memory
FAIRFIELD -- Penfield Pavilion II will be named in honor of former First Selectman Jacquelyn C. Durrell, who died earlier this year.
The Parks and Recreation Commission unanimously approved the request Wednesday night as proposed by a committee appointed by the Board of Selectmen to decide on a tribute for Durrell, the first woman to serve as the town's chief elected official from 1983 to 1993.
Naming the seaside pavilion for Durrell may not be the only honor accorded her. The committee is also considering asking the commission to attach Durrell's name to the Sherman Green gazebo.
"We'll be discussing the gazebo at our meeting on the 31st," committee member Joan Rasmussen said.
Local resident Marcia Miner said she supports renaming the pavilion, as well as the downtown gazebo. "She made the gazebo happen," Miner said, who added that Durrell was a member of 20 different town boards and commissions during her life, as well as a state representative. "I became amazed at all the things she did for Fairfield," Miner said. "Penfield is great, but she deserves more."
Parks and Recreation Chairman Ellery Plotkin said it was unfortunate that a school could not be named after Durrell, but committee Chairman George Lacovara said when there was an early indication that proposal could be controversial before the Board of Education, the idea was dropped.
"We didn't want to do anything controversial," Lacovara said. "That was our first choice, but we were rebuffed."
A new sign will be made for the pavilion, and a portrait of Durrell will be hung over the fireplace. Money left from a tribute to former First Selectman John J. Sullivan will be used to pay for the sign, a plaque and the portrait.

I finished the Rikke hat for my sister. This was one of those projects I put down, and completely forgot about. The sad thing was I had put it down at the crown decreases as I had been working in the dark and that seemed like asking for trouble. Between my commute, untangling three balls of the yarn, and a conference call I finished the hat. Mostly.
She wants the hat lined, and I never did buy any fabric for that. But the knitting part is done and that is what counts right? Right?
