"Cursed is the man who trusts in man
and makes flesh his strength,
whose heart turns away from the LORD.
6 He is like a shrub in the desert,
and shall not see any good come.
He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness,
in an uninhabited salt land.
7 "Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
whose trust is the LORD.
8 He is like a tree planted by water,
that sends out its roots by the stream,
and does not fear when heat comes,
for its leaves remain green,
and is not anxious in the year of drought,
for it does not cease to bear fruit."
9 The heart is deceitful above all things,
and desperately sick;
who can understand it?
10 "I the LORD search the heart
and test the mind,
to give every man according to his ways,
according to the fruit of his deeds."
Colossians 2:8-158 See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. 9 For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, 10 and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority. 11 In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead. 13 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, 14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. 15 He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.

What is it you've never done before?
You're retired. You have free time. What is that one secret thing you ALWAYS wanted to do, but never mentioned to anyone? Only you know the answer. Think about it a moment, I'll wait… Maybe write a novel, but you've never written a word in your life. Or acting in community theater seems fun to you, but you're too shy to even say it out loud. Have you always wanted to ride a Harley across America, but never ridden a motorcycle? Perfect. THAT'S what I'm talking about.
We've all daydreamed about things that we didn't have time to explore. That's okay. Now we do have time for it. But you've pushed that curiosity down in your mind. You no longer believe you can do it. That's simply not true. This is what retirement is meant to be! Reclaiming the time and dreams that were out of our reach. Sure, you're already doing wonderful things, as we spend time doing things we've always enjoyed, whether that's visiting the grandkids or golfing. What we're talking about now are the experiences you haven't had YET.
What is that one thing you didn't let yourself pursue? Right after you have the answer, another voice follows right behind it, telling you why it's silly. Why you can't do it. Don't listen. It's an old tape that no longer applies. Instead, ask yourself: Why am I not doing it? Most likely, you're a bit intimidated by whatever it is, so you create reasons to actually avoid it. We're all brave in some ways, and in other ways, not so much… That's okay. Because no matter what that hobby, skill, art, or second career is that you've daydreamed about is– When you stop overthinking it and take baby steps towards it, you will feel amazing. The freedom of saying, "I am finally doing this. No matter how it turns out, I'm so excited to be doing it".
Too often, people are afraid they'll fail, or be judged. Neither thing matters. Show up at that community theater and ask when they're auditioning for their next show. You'll suddenly find yourself amongst people just like yourself. Taking the first step will change your outlook on it. You can still be scared. A hero and a coward feel the same way. We're defined by our actions.
Whatever it is you have always wistfully imagined yourself doing, you can begin right now. Type it into the internet, with the words 'getting started', and see what pops up. If it's a hobby, there's going to be a store that sells the equipment. Always wanted to learn how to play the guitar, but never even held one? No problem. Hell, why not take singing lessons? Walk into a music store and tell them exactly that. You'll feel like a kid again.
When is the last time you felt the excitement of doing something brand new? If you can't remember, then you're overdue. What's the worst that could happen? That ballet isn't as fun as you thought? Maybe. So even your worst case scenario is triumphant, because you'll have finally experienced what you were afraid to try. Best case scenario? Perhaps an exciting new career as an simply being the best darn singer at the local karaoke bar.
Dreams aren't just for kids. They're for all of us. Do it now.
We love that you have found us, and we want to keep in touch with you too. Would you like to become more connected with our services?Get Connected

A Tale of Two eBurglariesMike Feibus2019-12-19T14:49:04+00:00
Hackers recently pried their way into customer data at Target and SnapChat. It's a costly proposition for both, to be sure. But while one company's wings may be permanently clipped, watch for the other to dust itself off and continue on as before.
Why are consumer reactions to the two heists so pronounced? Because they view the Target hack as a security breach. And even though thieves got less information per SnapChat customer, consumers see that breakin as a violation of their privacy.
Find out why HERE.

Thursday, April 2, 2015; Unconscious dreaming
I was out with a good friend, Cliff, who was helping me look for a pet at a department store. One of the staff pointed where the pets were, and I headed over to the aisle. I walked the aisle but all I saw were stores of large cups but could hear animal sounds, all in distress. Upon a closer inspection, I could see that the sounds were coming from the cups lining the shelves. A sign above the shelves read 'pets in a cup'. On the shelves along the left hung a sign saying, 'puppies in a cup'. On the right the sign read, 'kittens in a cup'.
Looking back to the left, I could now see the cups held puppies of several varieties: Dalmatians, Rottweilers, Dachshunds and others. These puppies were at the age of just being weaned from their mothers. Their small forms were tightly packed and sealed in clear cups with minuscule holes in the tops for air. The kittens were the same. Another but small sign along the shelves stated, "Expiration date, 32 hours after packing," which meant if not sold and released, they would die.
I became more aware of their small whimpering, and their bodies so tightly packed, they were immobilized. I could not take their suffering and reached up, grabbing the first cup nearest me. I ripped open the top and pulled out a Dalmatian pup and released it onto the floor. I then pulled the next cup off and did the same. Those I had not gotten to rose their voices pleading that I would get to them. My friend Cliff saw what I was doing and began helping in the rescue.
We had made it through the puppies and started on the kittens when the manager of the department store stepped into the aisle.
"What do you think you're doing?" he screamed at us. I stepped up and got into his face.
"We're releasing the animals from their suffering, and before they die," I told him.
"You can't come in here and do that, it's illegal. These animals are store property; I'm calling the police," the manager shot back.
"Go head," I screamed, "because I'm calling PETA. This is abuse. You and anyone else involved will be going to jail." I turned away and went back to ripping open the cups and pouring the kittens onto the floor along with the puppies. A movement caught the corner of my eye and when I looked, the manager had joined me and Cliff in freeing the animals. When I came to the last in line of cups, there sat a square box. Inside was an octopus packed as tightly as the others but due to his gelatinous body, his tentacles squirmed around inside slimming things up. Being out of his element, he had to be suffering even more.
I pulled the box down but could not locate the lid. I punched the box in four sides opening small holes. On the fourth hole, the octopus flung out his tentacles and used them to push against my chest. The force caused me to drop him before I could finish breaking open the box. On the floor, the octopus ran off in a bizarre scene which reminded me of the green aliens on the Simpson's.
I finished my line of cups and saw Cliff and the manager working on the last ones. I looked around to find more and noticed a monitor used in store advertising. I walked over and looked at the display. On the screen was a documentary on the company packing the animals and their procedure. Top opened cages ran parallel on each side of a conveyor belt. Inside the cages, were the puppies and kittens separated with their own kind. On the belt rode a line of cups, above the cups hung robotic arms. While the pups and kits played among themselves, the arms reached down and would snatch up one of the animals. The helpless creature then got pushed into the cup unexpectedly causing their limbs to become distorted. It was bad enough been packed so tightly, but this would greatly add to the pain.
I could not watch anymore and felt bile begin to rise in my throat. I ran up to the manager and asked where the restrooms were; he pointed to the back of the store. I took off, hoping I could keep things down until I reached the toilet. At the back of the store I searched but did not find them. I found a salesman for the store and asked where the restrooms were; he said he was new and did not know. Just then Cliff ran up and said he had found them. I followed him as we ran down the back wall to a single door. Cliff threw the door open and I rushed in. I dropped to the floor sticking my head over the toilet. As I heaved, I awoke.

The internet is full of people of all ages. From parents creating social media accounts for their children (even babies), to much older generations like the silent generation with ages 80 and beyond.
A Facebook group called 'A group where we all pretend to be boomers' experienced massive increase of membership to more than 5,200%. Here, the members who are mostly millennials, are pretending to be baby boomers born between 1946 and 1964.
Besides millennials who were born in the early 1980s, the group which has hundreds of thousands of subscribers, and created in mid-May, also has many members from generation X (born in the 1960s), and generation Z (born in the 1990s).
They enthusiastically share personal news, GIFs, copy and paste alarmist posts and hoaxes, create posts with typos and all capital letters, and comment of friends' profiles to tell them to say hi to family members.
Just like the typical baby boomers who were late on the internet. And these younger generations are doing that just for fun.
"It's definitely been a lot more successful than I expected, and I think a lot of that can be attributed to the relatable nature of how boomers post," said the group's moderator Robert Snyder.
As these younger generations use Facebook similar to how their older relatives do, they thought that it would be fun to satirize the older generations they grew up with.
However, the group somehow also appealed some baby boomers who wanted to get their share of fun.
"I deal with people who sound like this on my page," said 61-year-old Lauren Perrine. "I am a boomer … and I find this fking [sic] funny," she commented on one of the group's posts.
'A group where we all pretend to be boomers' is created as a closed group. To join, Facebook users need to complete a brief survey that asks some basic questions to be reviewed by the moderators.
But putting the fun and comedic value aside, there are reasons why younger generations may want to pretend to be baby boomers.
Some said that it's because baby boomers experienced a more affordable college tuition, had better chance of home ownership, and easier entry to professional and high-paying jobs.
What this means, there is somehow an envy from these younger generations to their baby boomer counterpart.
The fact is further tied with the stereotypes struct with younger generations, predominantly millennials, who have long been labeled as lazy, selfish and feckless by their elders.
"I think that recognizing that, even when we are poking fun at another group in relatively good taste, it still perpetuates stereotypes," said Dr Kelly Weeks, who has researched generational characteristics at Rhodes College.
"A very common reaction to stereotyping is the denigration of the other," explained Dr Elissa Perry, a professor of psychology at Columbia University, suggests that the impulse to satirize boomers may be a reaction to negative stereotypes younger cohorts face about themselves.
"It's playful at first, until it's not," Perry cautioned.

People are visual creatures in nature. That means we are more attracted to the things that we see since it is almost an instant process. Whether it's a great-looking photo, a well-thought product design, or a masterful painting, people are more inclined to appreciate visual aspects. As a result, written content tends to be overlooked, when in fact, it's the most crucial element in marketing. For that reason, businesses should invest in hiring an advertising copywriter Adelaide.
A well-written copy gives people all the more reason to read blocks of text. The creativity is the factor that gets people's attention, ensuring that whatever they are advertising will stick in people's minds. Professional advertising copywriters offer this benefit and more. Here are some of the advantages of a copywriter for your business:

9th July 2019
Seán Canney TD, Minister of State with responsibility for Community Development, Natural Resources and Digital Development, today welcomed the publication of the 2019 Quarter 2 Progress Report of the Mobile Phone and Broadband Taskforce. Since its establishment in 2016 under a Programme for a Partnership Government commitment, 'the Taskforce' has addressed over 60 targeted actions, designed to alleviate connectivity barriers prior to the rollout of the National Broadband Plan and tackle nationwide coverage blackspots.
Guided by a shared commitment to improve services for consumers and business, especially in rural areas, the Taskforce membership comprises Government Departments, State Bodies, ComReg, Local Government and Industry. Under the joint stewardship of the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment and the Department of Rural and Community Development, the Taskforce has delivered many tangible results via its annual Work Programmes, including:
The strides made by the Taskforce and other local and national initiatives in bridging the digital divide and improving access to vital telecoms services has been reflected in the European Commission's annual Digital Economy and Society Index and Report (DESI) 2019. This year's report, published on 11 June, shows that Ireland has improved its overall ranking to 7th place in the EU, up from 8th place in 2018.
Addressing Ireland's encouraging progress, Minister Canney said: "I welcome the publication of the Q2 Taskforce Report, which exhibits the continued momentum of the Mobile Phone and Broadband Taskforce, as we pursue targeted actions which accelerate the rollout of vital telecommunications infrastructure. The Q2 Progress Report represents the halfway point in the delivery of the 2019 Work Programme, and underlines the progress made in the alleviation of coverage blackspots, as we move towards a more inclusive digital society. Furthermore, this is the first Taskforce Progress Report since the publication of this year's DESI Report, which once again shows that not only is Ireland one of Europe's digital leaders, but that we are continually improving our scores year on year. We have improved our performance in all DESI index categories, which is testament to the success of this Government's digital and telecoms policies, such as the Taskforce.
In the Integration of Digital Technology index category, Ireland has been ranked first in the EU for the third year running, with our SMEs' use of e-commerce getting particular praise. The Trading Online Voucher Scheme, an innovative programme managed by my own Department that assists small and micro-enterprises to develop their online trading capability, was highlighted in the report. This shows that digital technology doesn't just benefit big companies, but can make a real difference to businesses of all size.
I am also happy to see such improvements in the Connectivity index category, which reflects the Government's continued commitment in this sector. Ireland is now outperforming the rest of the EU in most connectivity indicators. The report further notes the ambition of the National Broadband Plan and the vital importance of full connectivity for many other digital services. Successful roll-out of the National Broadband Plan will ensure that in years to come everyone will be able to benefit from the digital society, irrespective of where they work, live or study. In the meantime, the Mobile Phone and Broadband Taskforce, established in July 2016, and of which I am the Chair, has been a driving force for improving access to telecommunication services throughout Ireland. Designed to lay the groundwork for full connectivity for our citizens, the Taskforce has addressed over 60 targeted actions and worked to alleviate connectivity barriers, ensuring everyone can avail of the social and economic fruits of the digital revolution."

Note to Editor:
The Digital Economic and Society Index (DESI)
The Digital Economic and Society Index (DESI) is a composite index which provides a summary of relevant indicators in relation to Europe's digital performance and tracks the evolution of EU member states in digital competitiveness. The DESI report tracks the progress made by Member States in terms of their digitisation. It is structured around five chapters: Connectivity; Human Capital; Use of Internet Services; Integration of Digital technology; and Digital Public Services.
The DESI was re-calculated this year for previous years for all countries in order to reflect changes in the choice of indicators and corrections to the underlying indicator data.
Finland, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Denmark scored the highest ratings in DESI 2019 and are among the global leaders in digitalisation. These countries are followed by the United Kingdom, Luxembourg, Ireland, Estonia, and Belgium.
The Mobile Phone and Broadband Taskforce
The Mobile Phone and Broadband Taskforce is made up of senior officials from a number of Government Departments, Statutory Agencies and Local Government and engages with representatives of the telecommunications industry.
Chaired by Minister of State for Community Development, Natural Resources and Digital Development, the Taskforce was established to identify and address barriers to improved mobile phone and broadband services in areas with poor connectivity ahead of the roll out of the National Broadband Plan.
The organisations represented in the Taskforce are:
Department of Rural and Community Development
Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment
Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport
Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government
Local Government Management Agency
Transport Infrastructure Ireland
County and City Management Association
Commission for Communications Regulation (ComReg)
Advertising Standards Authority for Ireland
ESB Networks
Office of Public Works
The work of the Taskforce is supported by ongoing engagement with Ibec on behalf of the Telecommunications Industry.

In meeting with Haftar, Sarraj seeks 'realistic solution' to Libya conflict
TRIPOLI - The designated head of Libya's UN-backed unity government has met the country's controversial army chief, retired General Khalifa Haftar, as he prepares to submit a new cabinet lineup.
Fayez al-Sarraj's official Facebook page said he met Haftar on Saturday as part of a series of meetings to assess "the opinions, fears and worries of influential sides in the crisis" in the oil-rich country.
The meeting was held in Al-Marj, eastern Libya, with several members of the Sarraj government also taking part, it said.
Sarraj and Haftar discussed "finding a practical solution to the war in Benghazi", Libya's second city where Haftar's army has been fighting Islamists, according to the Facebook page of his administration.
It said Sarraj was seeking a "realistic" solution based on "realities on the ground" to reach a political consensus between all parties.
Since August 2014, Libya has had two rival administrations, with the internationally recognised authorities based in the country's far east and a militia-backed authority in Tripoli.
World powers have urged Libya's warring factions to endorse the unity government set up under a UN-brokered peace deal signed in December.
Sarraj is expected to propose a new government lineup, after the recognised parliament rejected an initial 32-member list last week.
Deputies also voted for the removal of an article from the December peace deal that gives the Sarraj government the power to approve top security and military posts, fearing it will lead to Haftar's ouster as demanded by the Tripoli-based administration.
The general returned to Libya after more than 20 years in exile in the United States to join the 2011 uprising that toppled dictator Muammar Gaddafi. He has since vowed to crush Islamists.

The way journeys used to be —
is the way they're revived every other year in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts on Coaching Weekend. Some dozen or so four-in-hand coaches in the Gilded Age tradition roll out from Orleton Farm in Stockbridge. The horses are splendid, the male passengers top-hatted and formally attired, ladies sport elaborate hats, coachmen blow long coaching trumpets —
And hearts really do beat faster when the cry goes up among the waiting spectators lining the lake —
One by one they rattle down the road, the passengers from the past occasionally waving or tipping their hats — The horns blaring — We gazing up from the road, tugging on our forelocks (well, kind of) — and then the coaches are gone until next time —
The last Coaching weekend was in October of 2011, so the next opportunity to watch this amazing spectacle will be in 2013. Stay tuned —

Once while Jesus was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret, and the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God, he saw two boats there at the shore of the lake; the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets.
He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little way from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat.
When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch." Simon answered, "Master, we have worked all night long but have caught nothing. Yet if you say so, I will let down the nets."
When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets were beginning to break. So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both boats, so that they began to sink.
But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!" For he and all who were with him were amazed at the catch of fish that they had taken; and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon.
Then Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching people."
When they had brought their boats to shore, they left everything and followed him. Luke 5:1-11
I spent last week with my preaching buddies, reading the Bible and asking a lot of questions about the lessons we learn together. I have a residual list of questions for us today, left over from last week.
My guess is that this is one of the more familiar Bible stories of Jesus. What do you think?
Its familiarity gives us a chance to look at the story in more than one way. It is more than a fishing tale, although as a stand-alone event interpreted literally, it is amazingly powerful on its own.
Luke gives us the makings of a multi-layered study, with more meaning than we may have ever imagined. It reveals itself to us step by step along the way as we recount the story.
The scene takes place when Jesus is already famous enough to attract big crowds, and as he seemed to like to do, he spoke to the crowds along the shoreline of the Sea of Galilee, (Gennesaret is Luke's word for the same lake.)
He then went out into a boat, sat down and taught (as he did more than once.) Were the acoustics better that way, was everyone better able to see him out there? Who knows? But you can easily picture the scene in your minds' eye easily enough, can't you?
When he finished his lessons to the crowd, there was another message he had to deliver- in a different way.
It was time to go fishing.
Simon Peter protested. They'd been there, done that, all night long, and the fish weren't biting. But if Jesus said so, who was he to argue? It was time for another go at it.
Simon followed the instructions. He seemed to know that he was in the presence of an expert (which is kind of odd… because… wasn't Jesus a carpenter's son; how did he know so much about fishing?) Jesus was more than he appeared to be…
So without any other fuss, no secret incantations, no high and mighty prayer, after the disciples following Jesus' simple instructions to let down their nets in deeper water, the miracle began to happen, with enough fish filling the nets to tear them. Even two boats worth.
Here's where I need to stop and ask another question.
When have you been in the presence of a real expert; someone who proved their expertise, no questions asked, who amazed you with their gifts and abilities? Think about it….
Was it a celebrity, a business leader, an artist or musician- someone you looked up to and admired for their wisdom and understanding, their gifts and their sheer talent?
Here's a little story, just for sharing's sake…
When I was in seminary, back in Princeton, as some of you know, I was also the part-time coach of the women's track and field team at Princeton University. I coached the shot putters and discus throwers- who were pretty good athletes, really. I also competed myself.
At the 1980 Princeton Invitational Track Meet, an open event, I competed against the Best Discus Thrower Ever. Literally. He was Al Oerter (anyone ever hear of him?) He rightly held the claim of being the greatest Olympian of all time. He was the first Olympian ever to win a Gold Medal in four consecutive Olympics (1956, '60, '64 and '68.)
He was a big man, 6'4" and about 280 pounds, and was making a comeback attempt in his late 40's- pretty unheard of… He still threw really far, in the 210 foot range. I was throwing in the 180 foot range, for comparison's sake. It was pretty magical for me to in the same competition with him, sharing the same throwing circle… and I'd like to say that some of his skill rubbed off on me, but that's not how it really works. Don't we wish it did!
Just being in the presence of someone great in their field doesn't automatically make you better. (I also once walked part of a PGA golf tournament, following the legendary golfer- Lee Trevino, but the next time I took my clubs out, I still hit the ball as erratically as ever.)
Being with a truly great performer, a great talent, a great mind can be very memorable, and it may inspire you and be very important to you in a lot of ways, but in the end, its just a start, with much more needed to follow.
In my case, with Al Oerter, there was no follow up- he was on to bigger and better things. Eventually an injury took him out of the 1980 Olympic trials. So it goes.
A different relationship existed between Jesus and Simon Peter, and thank God for that!
After the amazing and even frightening, immense catch of fish, Simon Peter and the others were awestruck, even terrified and didn't know what to do. That Simon Peter's first words to Jesus after this event were to 'go away, for I'm a sinful man'- speaks volumes…. That he doesn't consider himself worthy to breathe the same air as Jesus, or to share the same space they walk on, is telling.
Simon Peter believes that he's all too different from Jesus- not cut from the same cloth at all/ too different for Jesus to care at all about him/ he's so much trash. It would be interesting to hear more from Simon Peter about this, but we're not given a chance to find out.
Whatever Simon says or means doesn't deter Jesus from calling him to become a fisher of people. Jesus doesn't first call him to repent. He doesn't tell him to "go and sin no more." He doesn't tell him to go and sell all that he has. Simon says that he is a sinner- and Jesus calls him to become a fisher of people. Boom. And that's what he does.
Being in the presence of the One who is truly good, and not just great, or successful, or wealthy – confirms that you are loved, are worthy and accepted, just as you are.
Given that gift, perhaps there's something else going on in the story, something deeper… in more than one way.
As some have suggested, Jesus asking the fishermen to push out into deeper waters can have more than one meaning. It's both about physically relocating oneself and also about going deeper, psychologically, emotionally; trusting in the one who calls…. however that may happen.
For some, poetry helps. One of my favorite poets is Mary Oliver. In her poem, "In Blackwater Woods," she speaks of deep water and what that ultimately means for her… She describes it this way:
Every year, every thing
I have ever learned in my lifetime
leads back to this:
the fires and the black river of loss whose other side
is salvation, whose meaning none of us will ever know.
To live in this world
you must be able to do three things:
to love what is mortal; to hold it
against your bones knowing your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes, to let it go, to let it go.
Ultimately, this fishing story is about God, not the disciples or even us. For us to focus on what the disciples gave up and whether we could do the same is "to put the accent on the wrong syllable."
This story is really about the power of God—to walk right up to a quartet of fishermen and work a miracle, creating faith where there was no faith, creating disciples where there were none just an hour before.
This is about following Jesus, just as you are— having been in his company and feeling a tug, just feeling that tug.
If this story is about being swept up into the flow of God's mercy, caught in the net of God's love, then it seems to me- since no two of us are the same- that it will be a different story for each one of us in our own particular lives.
- Sometimes following Jesus may mean staying at home. It may mean letting others go, while tending things others can't or won't do.
- Sometimes following can be casting the same old nets in a new way, in a new place, or for new reasons.
- It may mean doing something different, now equipped with new instructions and new urgency about it all.
- It might mean reorganizing the whole fishing business- venturing into a part of the open water where you've never been before.
The meanings and possibilities seems pretty endless to me. The implications could be very big, no doubt about it, even though the changes in themselves could be quite small.
It would be a mistake, I think, for us to focus too hard on our parts in the miracle of discipleship/ for that's what it really is…. how afraid we might be of really being called, or amazed at what can, and already has been accomplished.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
We are called, first of all, to give thanks to God who has and always can be counted on to bless us as people who are able to trust and to follow when we truly feel the call.
So whenever and wherever our will spills into the will of God, or, better said, when God's will and Spirit spills over into our lives; then the kingdom of God is at hand.
It's always helpful to remember that faith begins not with a set of beliefs to confirm to or a creed to ascribe to but with a voice; something internal in our souls that calls to us and says, "Follow me."
And for this, I am thankful. Amen.

Alright '90s kids, prepare to get super jealous.
A Michigan mom just threw her four-year-old son the most epic birthday party based on Robin Williams' 1993 comedy classic "Mrs. Doubtfire." Why? Because her son asked her to.
Mom Laura Kowalski told Entertainment Weekly that her movie buff son, Evan, could not be persuaded to have a themed party based on his hobbies, such as soccer or insects. Instead, he insisted he have a celebration revolved around his favourite film about a man who disguises himself as a Scottish nanny to be close to his kids.
"I tried to talk him into doing just a soccer cake, like [Matthew Lawrence's character has] in the beginning of ["Mrs. Doubtfire"], but that wasn't good enough," Kowalski told EW. "So I had to figure out how to make it possible."
Luckily for Evan, he has one creative mom! The birthday party consisted of goodie bags featuring Mrs. Doubtfire thanking her "dears" for coming and fruit kabobs inspired by the "It was a run-by fruiting" scene.
Kowalski even got her cousin to draw a personalized image of Williams' iconic character for her son. The image read, "Happy Birthday Evan Dear!"
But the best part of the party, by far, was the cake. Behold!
To get the perfect "Mrs. Doubtfire"-themed cake for her son, Kowalski made a callout on Facebook and found Angie Claxon of Cakes By Sweetypants.
"I was actually kind of busy, but I thought, I have to make a 'Mrs. Doubtfire' cake. I mean, how could you not?" Claxon admitted to WLWT5. "I just wanted it to be fun for a little boy, so I wanted it to be colourful, that's why I chose the pie-in-the-face scene."
Robin Williams as Mrs. Doubtfire in the pie-in-the-face scene.
Claxon did a brilliant job of incorporating a number of "Mrs. Doubtfire" elements into the cake. Not only did it feature the Scottish nanny in her pie face mask, but it featured her with her breasts aflame and the two garbage can covers she used to put herself out.
The cake also incorporated Chris' soccer ball, Mrs. Doubtfire's broom and dentures, as well as a photo of the infamous nanny herself, saying, "I can hip-hop, be-bop, dance til ya drop & yo yo yo, make a wicked cup of cocoa."
On the Today Show's Facebook page, parents and fans of the film wrote how envious they were of Evan's brilliant birthday party. "This is amazing," one parent wrote. "I can only hope the twins enjoy this movie as half as this kid."
"What a cute idea! That was one of my favourite movies growing up," another said.
"I want this when I turn 30," another added. "You can't tell me no."
Explaining Evan's obsession with "Mrs. Doubtfire," Kowalski explained to Today.com, "One of Evan's favourite things to do is watch movies, so we watch a lot of movies in the evening to wind down. He likes classics, like 'Home Alone' or 'Matilda,' so about six months ago, I showed him 'Mrs. Doubtfire.' He loved it. Just loved it."
We can't blame him! "Mrs. Doubtfire" stole our hearts nearly 25 years ago and it still remains one of the most beloved films starring the late Robin Williams. Clearly Evan has good taste.

Steven Avery's story isn't over yet. Netflix's hit true-crime docuseries Making a Murderer returns for a second season, and while the first installment focused on Avery's whirlwind trial for the murder of Teresa Halbach, the next one promises an inside look at his post-conviction life. Directors Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos will follow Avery as he attempts to clear his name with the help of new lawyers, and likely catch up with Brendan Dassey, who has been on a roller coaster of an appeal ride himself.
Since it's been nearly three years since the first season took the streaming service by storm, a lot has happened in the Avery case. Though it's taken plenty of twists and turns, Here are the major developments in the case to get you caught up with where things stand heading into Season 2.
Forensic experts think that key evidence was missing
Four forensic experts condemned the scientific methods used in the Avery case. They believed the prosecution unfairly influenced DNA analyst Sherry Culhane and FBI chemist Marc LeBeau to deliver results supporting a guilty verdict, thereby compromising their analysis. They also took issue with LeBeau's wording in his testimony.
"There is a saying among scientists that absence of evidence isn't necessarily evidence of absence, and that appears to be the case here," the scientists wrote. "It was problematic for Mr. LeBeau to draw conclusions with any scientific certainty about all six of the stains after testing only three of them."
A neighbour gave a shady eyewitness account of Halbach's car
Freelance photojournalist Jeff Klassen scored a major scoop when he tracked down Avery's neighbour Wilmer Siebert. In an article posted to his blog, Klassen shared Siebert's doubts about the police investigation into Halbach's death. Siebert claims he saw a car that may have been Halbach's Toyota RAV4 just "days" before the search party found it on the Avery Auto Salvage yard. By his account, it was driving down a back road that leads to the quarry behind the salvage yard. A white Jeep trailed it. About a half hour later, only the Jeep returned. Siebert said he thought it was unusual because both cars were speeding, and he rarely saw RAV4s around the area.
Siebert was also suspicious of how quickly Halbach's car was discovered in the salvage yard. "I don't know how [the search party] could find that car that quick because I needed a gas tank for a truck [once] and they gave me the row [that it was in] and what kind of truck it was and I didn't find that truck in that short of a time," he told Klassen. Siebert, who is friends with the Averys, said he was never questioned during the investigation and didn't think to speak out until he saw Making a Murderer.
Avery slammed his old lawyers
Tumblr may love Strang and Buting, but their former client sure doesn't. In a scathing letter released in July, Avery blamed his guilty verdict on the defense team. "Dean and Jerry didn't do no investigation on this case, if I did they would not be in prison," he wrote. "They would have the Suspect if they did there [sic] job!" Avery also called them "Bad Attorneys" and suggested they should lose their licenses for ethical violations.
That's a pretty harsh review, but Buting didn't blame Avery for the outburst:
Please don't blame S Avery for his misdirected frustration. In his spot we'd all be unhappy. Dean & I still support his cause for justice.

Steven Avery got a new lawyer – and she's out for blood
Kathleen Zellner, an Illinois attorney, announced she'd be taking over the case back in January 2016, along with "local Wisconsin counsel" Tricia Bushnell. Zellner specializes in overturning wrongful convictions and has previously exonerated 17 men on charges ranging from sexual assault to murder. She's also a terrifying courtroom presence. Another attorney once said that facing her in trial was "worse than my divorce."
Zellner created a $10,000 "proof of guilt" challenge to show the holes in the prosecution's case
In response to people still questioning Avery's innocence, the confident-as-hell attorney offered a $10,000 cash prize to anyone able to prove Avery's guilt. The terms? A 100-question test "based upon credible evidence." Among the topics covered: Avery's blood, his phone use, and ballistics. It's more of a rhetorical device to demonstrate the prosecution's weak case, but you can read the full test here if you're interested.
In 2018, a court denied Avery's motion for a new trial…
In October 2017, Avery was denied a new trial. "The defendant has failed to establish any grounds that would trigger the right to a new trial in the interests of justice," wrote Judge Angela Sutkiewicz, adding that "no further consideration will be given to this issue." Zellner vowed to appeal the decision.
… and denied a motion to enter new evidence in 2018
After Zellner claimed that a CD containing exculpatory evidence (i.e., evidence that would prove Avery's innocence) was withheld from the defense, a higher court in Wisconsin ordered the local court to review the request to enter the CD into evidence. Doing what she does best, Judge Sutkiewicz denied the request in September 2018, writing, "In light of all the evidence submitted, it is clear that the defense was in possession of the same evidence as the prosecution prior to trial."
Dassey's roller coaster appeal ride hit wall after wall, and ended up at the Supreme Court
Way back in August 2016, a federal judge determined that Dassey's highly coerced confession was "involuntary," as per the Fourth and Fifth Amendments, and his conviction was overturned. It was looking like Dassey — who had been serving a 41-year prison sentence for first-degree homicide, second-degree sexual assault, and mutilation of a corpse — was going to be free. (He'd maybe even get to go to WrestleMania.) But in November, the state filed an emergency motion to keep him in prison. Then a federal appeals court upheld the decision to overturn Dassey's conviction.
The back-and-forth hit a big bump, by a 4-to-3 vote, the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit ruled that the confession was not coerced. "Dassey spoke with the interrogators freely, after receiving and understanding Miranda warnings, and with his mother's consent," wrote Judge David Hamilton, for the majority. "Dassey provided many of the most damning details himself in response to open-ended questions." Dassey has been in prison for the appeals process; this reversal means he could stay there — eligible for parole in 2048.
In another blow, the U.S. Supreme Court in June 2018 declined to hear Dassey's case, with leaves him with few (if any) options for a new trial or exoneration through conventional legal pathways.
There's a "sequel" in the works from the prosecution's perspective, called Convicting a Murderer
If you always felt sympathetic to the primary Making a Murderer antagonist, District Attorney Ken Krantz, here's just the documentary for you. Filmmaker Shawn Rech will tell the Steven Avery story from the other side of the courtroom, which sounds, improbably, like the best way to make the tragic story of Teresa Halbach's murder even more depressing. It's unclear if Convicting a Murderer will ever see the light of day, but expect lots of takes if it does.

How To Clean Quartz Kitchen Countertops
Quartz kitchen countertops add beauty to any room in the home. If an incorrect way, a quarter-worktop will last for many years. Cleaning quartz countertops is fast and easy. Common household products are used to clean quartz without damaging the surface. Quartz worktops are a type of constructed stone that combines granite with an artificial resin and thus create a cool, neutral stone that works well on the bench parts of the home. Like any other countertop, quartz should be cleaned at least once a week to maintain the attractive quartz appearance.
Fill the sink with warm water. Add a few drops of mild soap in the water. Use your hands to combine soap and water. Dip a soft cloth or sponge into soapy water. Turn the cloth or sponge away and wipe the quartz kitchen countertops. Rinse and twist out of the cloth or sponge frequently during cleaning. Allow wet cloth or sponge to stick to any sticky stains or tough to clean areas for a few minutes to loosen the grime. Apply detergent to a sponge or cloth and scrub countertops. Mixing equal parts of vinegar and water can also be used for tougher cleaning jobs.
Rinse the quartz kitchen countertops with a cloth and plain water after using all detergents. This will ensure that any soap or chemical residue is removed from the countertop. Wipe the bench with a dry cloth. Avoid using detergents containing bleach. Abrasive cleaner pillows should also be avoided. Run a cleaning sponge under hot water. Squeeze out the water from the sponge and wipe over quartz worktops. This removes most built-up and is all that is usually needed for weekly cleaning.

Fifty years of Esrange
Last month, the Esrange sounding rocket range and research centre in Kiruna, northern Sweden, celebrated the 50th anniversary of its inauguration on 24 September 1966.
The history of Esrange can be traced back to 1957 with the establishment of the Kiruna Geophysical Observatory (KGO) in July of that year. The setting up of this academic institution was important in itself, but also had an impact on the process of establishing a sounding rocket range in the same region a few years later.
The Kiruna Geophysical Observatory would conduct atmospheric studies, to a large extent concerning measurements of the geomagnetic field and cosmic radiation. This included the two specialities of Swedish space science: noctilucent clouds and the aurora borealis (the 'Northern Lights'). Furthermore, the international scientific community was interested in the possibility of sounding rocket experiments north of the arctic circle, considering it important to carry out a sounding rocket programme in the auroral zone.
Bengt Hultqvist, head of the Kiruna Geophysical Observatory, recognised this potential, realising that a sounding rocket base in Kiruna would be important, not only for his own observatory and research, but also for the entire Kiruna region.
Above all else, the location of a launching range for sounding rockets in Sweden became a vehicle for Swedish membership of the European Space Research Organisation (ESRO). From 1962, when Sweden signed the ESRO Convention, until 1964 when it was ratified, the discussions on the membership conditions were intense, and Esrange was an important part of those discussions.
Why Kiruna? Access to Kiruna was good by air, road and rail, and the range was relatively close to the town. The area was crown land and so it was not necessary to compensate land owners, plus it was rarely visited by tourists. Perhaps most importantly, Esrange would be near the Geophysical Observatory (later renamed the Swedish Institute of Space Physics).
But difficulties soon arose in the area of safety: up to what altitude should the sounding rockets be allowed to go? This depended on the size of the area available, so that they would not accidentally come down on a populated area. With the range being about 140 km long and 80 km wide, this would mean rockets could be launched safely up to an altitude of a few hundred kilometres.
At first, Sweden would allow only 150 km, which ESRO considered too low. At one point, the whole idea of sounding rockets started to seem less attractive to ESRO, but eventually these discussions led to a recalculation, which allowed altitudes up to 300 km.
The safety criteria turned out to be the key point of the negotiations, but once agreement had been reached here, others quickly followed. In March 1964, the ESRO Council finally approved the Esrange agreement.
The idea of having an international rocket base on Swedish territory also became controversial for other reasons. The then Soviet Union had expressed some concern that the station might be used for military purposes, and thus it was extremely important for Sweden to make sure that there was complete transparency over all projects at Esrange.
Another issue was the length of the contract for Esrange. ESRO wanted the Esrange contract to be valid for 50 years, but Sweden thought it fitting to renegotiate the terms for Esrange after a period of eight years. The Esrange contract gave ESRO members the right to use the station according to ESRO's programme, but a contract for longer than eight years could have meant signing a blank agreement for foreign countries to use this rocket base on Swedish territory and with Sweden left with sole responsibility for its upkeep.
On 19 November 1966, the first rocket was launched from Esrange , a Centaure 1 carrying Belgian science payloads. This was followed by many launches planned by various ESRO members. In all 152 sounding rockets were launched from Esrange between 1966 and 1972: 72 under ESRO's direction and 80 within national programmes. Most of these were Centaure, Nike Apache or Skua rockets reaching altitudes of 100–220 km.
In the early 1970s, ESRO decided to cancel its sounding rocket programme as part of the preparations for the creation and expansion of ESA, but space activities had now become a mainstream area of work for Sweden. Indeed, at the European Space Conference in 1970, Sweden wanted activity at Esrange to continue as before.
Individual Member States with national sounding-rocket programmes still needed a launch site though, and to that end the Esrange Special Project was set up by eight ESRO countries in December 1971 for five years. Not only did this mean that national sounding rocket projects could continue, but also that they could be coordinated.
Esrange came into Swedish hands on 1 July 1972, when ownership and operation of the range was transferred to the newly formed Swedish Space Corporation (SSC). The SSC's tasks included carrying out reviews for the Swedish Board for Space Activities, managing the national sounding-rocket programme and running the range.
With a permanent Space Board, a state-owned Corporation and a sounding-rocket range, Swedish space activities had finally become established. Over the coming years, the SSC and Swedish industry built themselves up to be trustworthy partners in international space projects. Furthermore, state funding was increased and Swedish space activities developed, of which Esrange had become a very important part.
When the Esrange Special Project was first established with eight European countries - Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom – its objective was to provide sounding-rocket and balloon launch services from Esrange and Andøya in Norway, which was also included in the Special Project via a special agreement with Norway and Sweden. This enabled coordinated European sounding-rocket research at high latitudes could thus be continued after ESRO's activities had ended.
Further amendments followed the 1971 agreement, firstly the extension of the Esrange Agreement of 17 March 1977, followed by various other amendments, including the respective amendments by full accession to the Agreement by Norway on 2 July 1990. The Esrange Special Project is still in operation, but with fewer participating states (Belgium left in 1977, and the Netherlands and United Kingdom in 1980).
Today, rocket and balloon activities continue to be co-ordinated and financed by the Esrange Andøya Special Project within ESA. The Kiruna base is used by the international scientific community for launching sounding rockets for microgravity and atmospheric research as well as high-altitude balloons for astronomy, atmospheric research and drop tests of space and aerial vehicles. Three main programmes, Texus, Maser and Maxus, dominate the rocket activities at Esrange and support microgravity research for ESA and DLR, the Germany space agency.
To date, the facilities of Esrange have seen the launches of 550 rockets and 520 balloons and now include a large satellite ground station. With plans on the way for the development of launch capabilities for small satellites, Esrange has grown into one of the world's busiest ground stations, serving a large variety of customers.
Looking to the future, there are even more ambitious plans. Private company Spaceport Sweden aims to make Kiruna Europe's premier space hub, based on 50 years of scientific expertise and Esrange's very fruitful partnership with the Swedish Institute of Space Physics. The company signed an agreement with Virgin Galactic in 2007, whereby Spaceport Sweden would be the first spaceport outside the USA that Virgin Galactic could use for flight campaigns.

26 September 2018
Responding to the news that four environmental campaigners have been jailed for peacefully resisting fracking in Lancashire [1], Keith Taylor, Green Party MEP and a vocal critic of the policing of fracking protests, said:
"The frack free four are heroes. These people put their lives on hold to defend our environment and climate from the destruction imposed on it by a government blindly committed to fracking at any costs. The latest cost being the liberty of three peaceful protesters whose only crime is resorting to peaceful direct action to resist an industry after every democratic route of opposition was ignored and overturned by the government. The people of Lancashire and their democratically elected representatives repeatedly said no to fracking."
"We are supposed to be a mature liberal democracy that can accommodate dissent. Today's decision blows that myth wide-open; authoritarianism has become a favourite tool of a minority government that lacks the public's support to force through its environmentally destructive agenda by any other means. Any government that conspires with the dirty fossil fuel industry against its own people is rotten to the core."
"Dissent is not a crime in any country with a political system fit to be called a democracy. Consequently, the sentences handed to the frack-free four are chilling."
