This is the conclusion of a three-part series on former Lobo basketball star and NBA player J.R. Giddens, and his unique relationship with Paul Weir, the University of New Mexico men's basketball coach.
By Mark Smith

Editor in Chief
University of New Mexico men's basketball head coach Paul Weir says former Lobo star J.R. Giddens has the makings of a future solid coach.
Giddens says Weir is already a great one — especially for the players.
In particular, the black players.
"Paul gets it," Giddens told Enchantment Sports. "You can't be sensitive in talking about racial issues, or any controversial issues.
"It's not like in 2003, when I was in college. Coaches are getting more focused on the black athletes and the black culture. That's how Paul is.
"African-American players need to be more comfortable on a team, with the coach relating to them and not just trying to get them on the team to use them to win games."
Weir is starting his second season as UNM coach after leading New Mexico State to the NCAA Tournament in just one year. He said he not only encourages open dialogue with all of his players, he finds it a necessity in this day and age of such divisiveness.
Especially if you're going to turn out great people and not just great players.
"From what I've come to learn about being an educator, or being in the field of what we're in, is the best thing we can do is just talk about things," says the 39-year-old Weir, who has three master's degrees and is pursuing a doctorate at UNM.
"Whatever those touchy or sensitive topics happen to be, with regards to sexuality, with regards to race, with regards to religion, with regards to national anthems, with regards to whatever happens to come about, I kind of feel like it's my job to have open and honest conversations with our guys about those topics."
Weir has allowed the 33-year-old Giddens, a former NBA first-round draft pick and in his 13th year as a professional player, to spend time with and speak to the Lobos during the off-season.
The coach calls it a "win-win situation" for Giddens and the team.
Sure, Weir was aware of J.R. Giddens' past. The good and the bad.
Weir was also aware of Giddens' present, a stellar professional basketball player in Argentina and in his 13th year as a pro.
And this summer Weir became aware of Giddens' passion for the game, and his dream of someday being a coach, as well.
Not just as a gifted player who once needed plenty of guidance, but as top-level coach who has plenty of guidance to give.
"I really think J.R. could be a very good coach," Weir recently told Enchantment Sports. "He has a great understanding of the game, and he knows how to relate to players. He's been through a lot of ups and downs and made mistakes. But he knows how to try and get that message through to help others not make the same mistakes."
Giddens says his knowledge on the court is outstanding.
As is his knowledge of how to be part of society.
"He definitely has both," says UNM guard JaQuan Lyle, who sat out last year after transferring from Ohio State. "We've seen all he's gone through as a (first-round NBA draft) pick. He says he wishes how he could have done a lot of things differently, but 'the present is the present and you can't change the past.'
"He's trying to guide us for the future so we don't make the same mistakes. It really hits home when he talks to us."
Lyle is one of a number highly touted transfers Weir has added to the program. He hopes to play professionally someday, just as Giddens has done.
But Giddens, who returned to UNM this summer to finish his degree in liberal arts before he heads back to play professionally in Argentina, knows there is much more to leaving New Mexico with dreams of playing pro ball.
"So does Paul — as well, if not better — than any coach I have ever been around," Giddens says. "He really cares for these guys. When he lets me talk to them, I tell them 'It's no BS. He's is trying to help you with your future. You have to realize the opportunity you have.'
"I told them about the coaching staff I was under and how they treated me, and that 'Paul doesn't treat you guys like that. He's putting everyone of you in the position to win.' One of my favorite things about Paul is he tells them in meetings, 'I'm not just a coach trying to use black young athletes to get to my next job and to get to a bigger paycheck. I hope that I inspire you, that I motivate you during this process.' He'll give them each a book to read."
Giddens transferred to UNM after two seasons at Kansas and played two seasons at UNM for Ritchie McKay, but sat one of those out — per NCAA rules — as a redshirt transfer. His final year was with newly hired Steve Alford and new assistant Craig Neal.
Giddens doesn't say he was used as a black athlete but said he wasn't prepared to hit the world as one either.
"That's not a knock on coach Neal or coach Alford, but they weren't doing that for me — not getting me ready as a person," Giddens told Enchantment Sports.
"I told these guys, 'Look, with the academic advisers and the coaches that you have, it's not an ego contest. Paul is putting you guys in the position to win games and in life, and the ball's in your court.
"'If you drop it, just know that it's on you and you're going to have to live with all the decisions you made in your life, off the court, on the court, in the classroom.'"
Any Lobo fan who ever watched Giddens during his college days knows the flashy shooting guard could dish a no-look assist as well as just about any player in Lobo history.
But they might find it hard to believe he can also assist others in being role models on and off the court.
Giddens said he knows there are doubters, "and there should be. It's up to me to show everybody that I grew up. I'm now a man."
Giddens blames nobody but himself for his mistakes and antics of the past and said that is the main message he is trying to drive home with the Lobos — especially those who hail from a similar background.
"What I want them to understand is that as an 18- or 20-year-old, you're still a kid and have a lot of maturing to do," Giddens said. "You get better in time, but the mistakes you make can stay with you.
"I understand how hard it can be for young guys, especially for a young black athlete. But you have to own up to everything you do. You have to do the right things. It can be the difference between being a million-dollar player and just going the wrong way in life."
Some 10-plus years ago, Giddens appeared to have an awakening.
He no longer wanted to be that brash Oklahoma City high school All-American who had been arrested for shoplifting.
He no longer wanted to be known as the 6-foot-5, 3-point shooting slam dunk sensation who had been stabbed during a bar fight during his two years at the University of Kansas.
He no longer wanted to be that marvelous basketball talent who seemed to spend as much time being suspended by coach Ritchie McKay during practice as he spent time dominating the session while attending them.
In the summer of 2007, Justin Ray Giddens didn't have many choices.
He was approaching his final season of college eligibility, and newly hired Lobo coach Steve Alford made it clear that he wasn't going to put up with any of Giddens' shenanigans.
Alford even suspended Giddens from the team's four-game exhibition trip to the Bahamas that spring and made it appear to the 6-foot-5 high-flying shooting guard that he was basically finished at UNM.
"I felt like I hit rock bottom," Giddens said.
Bottoms up
Giddens wasn't going anywhere. He started getting his academics in line and worked to prove to Alford, Neal and the Lobos that he could be a great teammate.
Alford hardly looked Giddens' way much of the time during fall practice or shortly after the season started, unless it was to chide him.
But Giddens kept busting his tail in the classroom and on the court.
And Alford needed him to win games.
The Lobos finished 24-9 that season and a 11-5 in conference play after finishing last in the league the year before. They didn't last long in postseason, losing their first game of the NIT to Cal, but Giddens sure did.
Giddens averaged 16.3 points, 8.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists and was named Mountain West Co-Player of the Year that 2007-08 season. He was invited to, then won, a slam-dunk contest on ESPN in conjunction with Final Four activities, and not long after, he was drafted in the first round by the Boston Celtics.
He was traded to the New York Knicks in 2009 and played just 38 games in The League. But he hasn't stopped playing professionally since, and "I actually had my best season ever last year for Ferro Carril Oeste Basquet (in Buenos Aires, Argentina)."
Lobo fans, disillusioned by McKay's five seasons at the helm previous to Alford's hiring, put the latter on a throne for turning around the fiery Giddens around.
Giddens, however, says there was much more to it.
"My life definitely did start to change when I was at UNM," Giddens says. "But there were a number of defining moments. Some of it was help from the coaches, but there were others who helped even more. And honestly, more than anything else, I was maturing and becoming a man. Life is a growing process. When you're young, a lot of times you just don't get it.
"I haven't had any blemishes since then. I've been livin' life the right way for the 13 years I've been a pro."
Those years have included playing for 15 teams in 11 countries.
That is a whole lot of hoop. And a whole lot of worldly knowledge.
"He knows so much about basketball and about life," Lyle told Enchantment Sports. "He always talks about how to handle yourself off the court, and what you have to do. He says how important it is keeping a smile on your face, to doing things the right way and being a good person. He stresses how we're doing something that we love, and we need to appreciate it."
There are benefits to having Giddens deal with the present Lobos, and maybe future ones as well.
"It helps a lot having a guy of his stature around the program," said Lobo assistant coach Brandon Mason, a former New Mexico State star and former pro player. "When you're recruiting against the Pac-12, Big 12 and those schools, we can say, "Guess what? You can come here, play here and become a first-round draft pick.
"To see someone coming back to be around the program is such a positive."
Life isn't a sensitive subject
Giddens says that Weir is the biggest positive for the Lobo basketball team, and again because of much more than knowing how to run a box-and-one or a motion offense.
"I want to stress how important it is to know how to work with the black athlete," Giddens again says. "Coaches are getting more used to black athletes, and letting them dress the way they want to dress and accept their culture.
"I know there have to be rules, but Paul lets these guys be themselves. He has a free-flowing offense, which everyone wants to play, and off the court he's trying to develop them into young, black men.
"When he said that in the team meeting, I was hoping nobody would take offense by that. It's a sensitive subject, but he's like, 'Guys, I'm here to help you. I'm here to develop your minds into better students and better young men.
"He's not, 'Hey, you guys just run, jump and get me on to my next job.' He teaches the facts of life and how they've got to take ownership.
"When I compare the '80s and '90s and 2000s, I tell them, 'You have it better than we had it back then.' Hip-hop was more just for black people back then, but now hip-hop is a culture. It doesn't matter. You have a Hispanic kid or a white kid, and they want to wear their hat to the side, now more people understand that's a style. Back then, it was so segregated, and people didn't understand it was a culture.
"The way we naturally are as black athletes is more accepted now. If we go to a dinner or gala, of course you take off your hat. But when you're just going around on campus or whatever, you should be able to turn your hat any way, because that's just the style. It doesn't mean you're a gang member or anything if you turn your hat a certain way. Now there's a lot of social media teaching how to deal with minorities, and it's just better than when I was in school.
"Paul understands the black culture so well, and isn't afraid to talk about it."
Weir says his players are open to come to him anytime with any subject or issue that's bothering them.
"We talk about everything," Weir said. "We talk as a team and talk individually. Hopefully, some of those things can also remain private among ourselves, where we can have productive talks as fellow teammates, and eventually fellow citizens or whatever else we want to be.
"So we openly talk about race. I am honest with who I am and what I know about something. Those are conversations I've had with J.R., with staff members or groups of people that J.R.'s had around him. It's the way I've decided to broach these topics, and I'm thankful that J.R. feels the way he does.
"I'm not expert on it. I don't know how to always appropriately handle things, but I just try to do the best that I can."
The past is the past — but a great way to learn
Certainly, J.R. Giddens has regrets. But he's worked to use the mistakes he's made to become learning moments for himself and positives for others.
Still, there is something, he says, that gnaws away at him endlessly.
"It hurts me, that I never learned how to be a team leader when I was a senior," he says, shaking his head. "I never stop thinking about that.
"I used to just kill it physically in practice and the weight room. I did everything I could to be better physically. But I tell (ex-Lobo teammates) Darren Prentice and Daniel Faris all the time, 'I am sorry. I let you guys down as a leader. I should have been better for you.'"
Faris, who graduated in 2009 and has played professionally in Lebanon since, said "J.R. and I didn't get along great when he first came to UNM. As time went on we grew much closer and developed a lifelong friendship.
"He has grown so much as a person since he first came to New Mexico. J.R. was our most talented player but not our best leader by a long shot. When he called me this summer to apologize for not being a better leader I was surprised. I think fatherhood and getting
older have been great for J.R. He's always been a fun guy to be around, but now I think he's got his priorities lined up better. He knows how thankful I am for his friendship and I'm excited for him to be UNM coach someday!"
Giddens, who has a 16-month old son, Justin Ray Giddens, in the Dominican, said "I could probably play three to five good years, but I just want to play for a year or two and get into coaching. But if someone offers me a coaching job, I'll retire right now and take it. I want to spend as much time as possible with my son."
Prentice says that because of Giddens and Weir, he has also returned to UNM to finish his degree — which he will do in December.
Prentice was a boys and girls coach at Harrison Middle School in Albuquerque and hopes to be a high school coach soon. He said Giddens is definitely on the right path to getting on the sidelines in the collegiate ranks.
And that Giddens has nothing to apologize for when it comes to that former lack of leadership.
"J.R. tells me that a lot, that he's sorry for not being a better team leader," Prentice says. "I tell him, 'You're too hard on yourself. The past is past. You learned so much from it.
"I don't know; I guess J.R. could have been a better leader. But I know one thing. He could never be a better friend."

Chapter 7 is the seventh part of the "Magician Edermask" arc.
Short SummaryEdit
A man named Edan threatens Wandra for her to form an alliance with Theodore. When she refuses, Edan attacks. Sir Henry leaps out of a tree he was perched in to defend against Edan. They each show off their abilities while engaged in a heated exchange. Although Sir Henry seems to gain the upper hand, but Edan is confident in his fire magic.
Long Summary Edit
In a flashback in the village before the events of the previous chapter, the villagers murmur about a strange man. They recognize he's giving off a strange aura and tell Wandra about him. The dark skinned man is taller than the people of the village. Wandra shows up with an escort of females. She introduces herself and asks the intentions of the newcomer. He politely accepts her introduction and introduces himself as Edan, serving King Edwin of Theodore. His country wishes to form an alliance with the master of Adat.
Wandra responds that they have no intention of forming an alliance. The chapter shows a map and explains the political situation of the region. She tells Edan to go back as she turns and begins to walk away. He replies that he knew she would say that and tells her the reason he was sent over was to change her mind. He opens his clenched and a spark pops into a flame above his palm. She turns around worried as glowing orbs float around Edan and he closes the distance between them. He reiterates Theodore's demands and Wandra cringes. Out of the air, Sir Henry jumps down towards Edan while yelling "Who do you think you're threatening?" He deflects Edan's magic attacks with his sword and lands with a boom.
A branch of the tree behind him is burning from the result of the attack. Sir Henry shames Edan for attempting to hurt an unarmed woman. He raises his sword in guard. Edan mocks his defense and tells him that he can't buy much time. He ignites his hand. Sir Henry says that he talks too much and Edan replies that talking doesn't alter his strength. He charges at Sir Henry who slashes at him. He then launches an explosive fire attack pushing Sir Henry back. Edan's hand glows yellow as he charges a lethal attack. Sir Henry's plants his sword into the ground and kicks Edan's glowing hand. Edan braces his arm to block and lands on the ground. The chapter ends with Edan smirking.

NAIROBI, Kenya, Apr 17 – A survey conducted recently has revealed an alarming level of armed robberies and other violent crimes in Nairobi.
According to the study by Security Research and Information Centre, 41 percent of crimes reported are violent robberies and residents in all parts of the city are prone to such attacks.
Inspector General David Kimaiyo welcomed the Nairobi Regional Annual Crime Observatory Report, saying it will help in facilitating stakeholders to consolidate their resources to address challenges of crime.
"Nairobi is the nerve centre of our country's economy and political leadership. This study will facilitate stakeholders to consolidate their resources and address the challenges that we face," he said.
"This kind if report should be shared especially among those who are supposed to take action. It should not just be another report that we develop and is kept on the shelf," he stated.
The report further stated that robbery and theft are the main types of crime in Nairobi region accounting for 41.1 percent and 34.9 percent respectively.
"City residents are worried by the rampant use of small arms like pistols, home-made guns and toy guns in most of the crimes committed," it stated.
Other crimes reported in Nairobi include burglary, carjacking, assault, drug trafficking and sexual offences. It further identified terror attacks as a major source of security concern for city dwellers and law enforcement agencies.
The report states that while most crime hotspots are in city slums, they also extend to formal residential estates like Kayole, Jericho, Huruma, Ngara, South B and parts of Westlands.
While Kibera was identified for armed robberies and assaults, Kayole was marked for "all types of crime" including kidnappings and trade in firearms.
The survey also found out that generally, people were reluctant to report crime to police because of lack of confidence in the officers.

What's more, they're all supposed to aid the circulation and digestion, combat fatigue and stimulate the appetite. In the States, Ehrlich reports that Coca Cola has launched a range of Minute Maid orange juices in a bid to combat the dominance of Pepsi Cola's Tropicana brand. He recommends three non-alcoholic favourites of his own: AriZona Pomegranate Green Tea (2; Holland & Barrett, www.arizonabev.co.uk); Fentimans Ginger Beer (1/275ml; widely available); and Mawsons Sarsaparilla (4.99/375ml; www.mawsonstraditionaldrinks.com).'

Leave Kashmir alone, answer on human rights violation in PoK: PM Modi to Pakistan
Soon after the All-Party meet on Kashmir chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to an end on 12 August, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and Home Minister Rajnath Singh addressed a press conference to brief the media about the government's stand on the ongoing violence in Jammu and Kashmir.
Rajnath Singh asserted that all the political parties that had gathered to meet and find a political solution to the unrest in Kashmir put forth their concerns with the right intent.
Quoting PM Modi, Rajnath Singh said, "The Prime Minister has said that the time has come for Pakistan to answer the world, on atrocities against people in Balochistan & PoK."
Rajnath Singh further informed the media that the government had decided on a development package of over Rs 80,000 crore for the overall development of Jammu and Kashmir.
Meanwhile, Arun Jaithley affirmed that security was on the government's priority list.

"We have had multiple reports of your Minister for Sports trying to enter accredited areas at venues with unaccredited individuals. When the staff try to explain that this is not allowed, they report that the people with the Minister have become aggressive and rude and sometimes push past our staff," Sarah Peterson, who is Continental Manager for Rio 2016 Organising Committee, said in a letter to Indian Chef-de-Mission Rakesh Gupta.
"As you can understand, this type of behaviour is not acceptable. Despite previous warnings, it would seem that even today the same incident occurred at the Rio Olympic Arena (Gymnastics venue) and Carioca Arena 3," she added.

Commercial Roofing Materials Industry Detailed Analysis and Forecast by 2024
The current rate of growth shown by the global commercial roofing materials market is primarily attributed to the high volume of activities in the global construction Industry. With both construction and restoration works in full swing across the world, the manufacturers of commercial roofing materials are finding a considerable scope of opportunities. The market is also being driven by the increasing use of single-ply roofing systems, which are flexible and cost-effective, along with the especially high rate of re-roofing activities in the developed economies of the world. However, the global commercial roofing materials market is being restricted strongly by the high installation costs and product lifespan variation, both problems that are leading to a greater reluctance and confusion among consumers in terms of choosing between the different types of commercial roofing.
Request a Sample Copy of the Report @ http://www.mrrse.com/sample/2423
In terms of revenue, the global commercial roofing materials market was valued at US$7.5 bn in 2015, and is expected to reach US$10.38 bn by 2024, after expanding at a CAGR of 3.6% within a forecast period from 2016 to 2024.
APAC to be in Limelight in Global Commercial Roofing Materials Market
Geographically, the global commercial roofing materials market can be segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. North America accounted for the dominant share in the global commercial roofing materials market followed by Asia Pacific and then Europe, for 2015. Asia Pacific is, however, currently leading the market in terms of its attractive index in terms of future growth. This region holds a heavy rate of growth in its construction industry as well as re-roofing activities, thereby garnering a large level of attention from several of the leading players in this market. Latin America is another potentially attractive region for manufacturers of commercial roofing materials for similar reasons. North America is a matured markets for commercial roofing materials market and so the growth rate is likely to be slower compared to the global average.

Started the week off with Boxing Day shopping with bf at DFO. I was really "urrrgh" when he told me he'd pick me up at 9am to go the shopping center, which turned out to be a good thing because yeah he was right! It was hard to get a car park that early! There was a lot of items on sale but I just didn't buy as much as I did last year...I just didn't find the need to buy new clothes, shoes or jewellery even if they were on sale =\ I'm so close yet so far from buying the two things that I actually want!!! (Rages!!)
But despite that, I did also buy two singlets from Jay Jay's just to wear to sleep lol and two cute mugs from DFO! One just has a heart pattern all over and the other has 3 cupcakes decorated around it =) My bf was all like,"Are you serious? Why are you buying two?! You just need one! You can just wash it and reuse it! Why buy two?!" ahahaha xD He's a believer in not wasting things or buying unnecessary things ~ *coughsforexamplemymugscoughs*
But the most expensive purchase of that day was Clinique's All About Eyes Rich eye cream. The area around my eyes have been extremely dry and it's a pain whenever I apply concealer on because the makeup just sticks onto the dry areas ><
According to the Clinique website it states:
And I gotta say this eye cream is pretty amazing. It is very moisturizing! But I have yet to see anything happen to my eye bags T_T That's the only part I'm doubtful on but we will see how it goes.
Annnnnnnnnnnd finally I went to Collette today before work and bought a packet of rings for half price ! Hooray for sales! LOL I actually was looking for a silver pair of dangly earrings but couldn't find any that I liked then these caught my eyes *___* Actually it was the bow that caught my eye haha
I like 3/5 of them ~ the other two are too plain and boring >< I like simple rings like the pearl and bow.
I'm going to go shopping again tomorrow because I've got my eye on this particular dress but I want to try it on before I buy!

Post-retirement is often advertised on birthday cards and in Art of Living books as the "golden era" of a fulfilling life. The reality is quite different, though. Sometimes I wonder if I am the only person in the world who is experiencing "ageing pains", since I cannot keep up with the pace of "twittering", "instagramming" or "whatsapping". While I appreciate the benefits of internet connectivity, I seem to be out of the groove with the ongoing tech revolution. The limits of my social media expertise extend to a Facebook account. Fortunately, it serves my purpose quite adequately: I can stay in close touch with my immediate family and close friends.
The past 17 years of the new millennium have meant a sea of change for those who grew up communicating face-to-face. Many like me are going through a period of adjustment trying hard to keep up with the internet era where feelings and opinions are shared on the phone or computer screen. Even FaceTime comes across as a second-best option. How can anything replace a close physical encounter where facial expressions, body language and eye contact express what a thousand words cannot?
One would have thought that with multiple opinions and ideas available in the public forum we would have gained additional wisdom. But I feel I am becoming increasingly inept at coping emotionally because there seems to be no certainty about anything anymore. And this is not on account of the widespread existence of fake news, "alternative facts" or the onset of a "post truth" era. Today, the weight of an opinion seems to be preponderantly determined by its popularity on social media: often two views are vying for the winning position based on the number of twitter or Facebook followers rather the intrinsic value of the issues. There was a time when we watched a movie and read its reviews. While we allowed critics to guide us, we articulated our opinions quite openly. But now there are multiple views expressed by twitter and ultimately everyone falls in-line with the most popular one—not because they agree but because they are scared of backlash. Who wants to be contradicted in public and be accused of being a "Philistine"? In today's internet savvy age, education is not about reading and then analysing and processing the information to form well thought out opinions, but being part of the "web crowd".
The spirit of referendum through the internet seems to have permeated into all aspects of our lives. We are increasingly making decisions about social and political issues guided by polls and twitter—even the media is swayed by these opinions. It's no longer kosher to say "I agree with both views in some ways"—we must be either for or against something. In this context, I am reminded of a pertinent observation by the American novelist F Scott Fitzgerald, who noted that "the test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function."
Even while planning vacations we seldom indulge in those "tea and samosa" sessions with friends who have visited a location and can give us interesting views on what to see and what to avoid. The travel guidebooks containing valuable information about planning trips have also gone out of vogue. Instead, we make choices and decisions by switching on our computers or smart-phones and checking out customer reviews on restaurants, hotels and even monuments that have been standing there for centuries. As if the pyramids need reaffirmation from twitter or instagram followers about their appeal!
I'm aware that I should be grateful that I am alert and agile enough to keep up with the times—at least partially. For, there are friends who are in physical discomfort or describe their days as "unending" and "hard to fill." Truth be told, I have also started to experience senior moments—I forget a friend's birthday or, worst, cannot put a name to a face. Some have suggested that I practice the neurological exercises available on internet sites: Google "brain exercises" and you will be given several options, even a quick fix of "10 best exercises that boost memory"! But the spontaneity of an afternoon coffee with a close friend or a challenging bridge game with neighbours can do more to invigorate my neurons than a thousand brain exercises recommended by Google. What can be more exhilarating than my annual visit to Dhaka, reconnecting with childhood friends, spending the entire evening extending into the wee hours listening to heavenly classical music and simply watching the setting sun in the city's hazy horizon! Despite all the technological advances that are supposed to help you discover the world, there is nothing like a warm voice or a consoling hug to tell you that living is all about real life relationships and not "virtual" communications.
I realise that my mental resistance to the technological revolution will not add even one day to my life or change the pace and direction of the world. But I believe it will allow me to step off the conveyor belt and recapture some of the passion and adventure of my youth, even if for a few fleeting moments. It will help me feel that I am "alive" rather than passively observe my life pass by on a phone or computer screen!

Indwelling By Tim Lahaye And Jerry B. Jenkins Is God Vs. Satan Thesis: The major conflict in the novel The Indwelling by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins is God vs. Satan. The Indwelling is the seventh book in the Left Behind series written by the fiction writer Jerry B.
Jenkins and biblical end-times scholar Tim LaHaye. The Left Behind series is about a post-Rapture end-times battle between the believers, the Tribulation Saints, and the Antichrist, Nicolae Carpathia. The conflict is God versus Satan. The major theme of the story is that good always wins in the end.

For You For Only $13.90/page!
order now
The first example of conflict in The Indwelling is in Tsion Ben-Judah's dreams of the war in heaven and the falling away of Lucifer 242-248.Lucifer is pleading with God to let him have complete control of mankind so he could form an army like none other: 'Abandon them to me, who can fashion them for profit. Even after being called by your name, their natures reek with temporal desires. Allow me to surround myself with these enemies of your cause, and I will marshal them into a force unlike any army you have ever assembled.' From the throne came a voice of such power and authority that volume was irrelevant: 'Thou shalt not touch my beloved!' 245. Lucifer evolves his pleas into threats, threatening to ascend to a throne above that of God's.
This is the moment in which Archangel Michael chooses to step in.In this fashion, the war in heaven is waged and Satan with a third of the heavenly host is cast down to the earth. The second example of the God vs. Satan theme is in the killing by incineration of the three regional potentates that oppose Carpathia by Fortunato 350. The reason Fortunato kills the three potentates is that they refuse to bow down and worship the idol of Nicolae Carpathia.
The three potentates are believers, which is why they will not bow.The third example of the major conflict is the resurrection and indwelling of Nicolae Carpathia by Satan himself 366. Everything that Satan does is done to further his cause, which is destroying God. By resurrecting the antichrist and indwelling his body, Satan has the ability to directly project his power onto mankind.
Nicolae appoints himself as the object of worship of the Enigma Babylon One World Faith and even goes so far as to quote and claim to be Jesus Christ. The subject of The Indwelling is spiritual warfare.Throughout the whole Left Behind series, Satan is continually trying to succeed the throne of God. Book Reports.

Ah, Korpiklaani. The more-Finnish-than-thou folk metal band has had a staggering career so far, releasing nine albums packed full of Nordic drinking ballads. "Vodka", "Tequila" "Beer Beer," you get the idea.
They've also stepped into epic fantasy territory a few times, as well as plating songs of travel and life. Truly, there are none more folk. Korpiklaani have returned this year with Kulkija (which means wanderer in Finnish). Never ones to pass up a digital pint, we caught up with guitarist Kalle "Cane" Savijärvi through the Internet to discuss Finland, fantasy and, of course, folk metal.
First of all, thanks for speaking with Bucketlist!
Thank you for having me!
This new album, Kulkija, is Korpiklaani's tenth full-length release. What makes this one different from the others? We've seen from the advertising that it is about a central character called 'The Wanderer'. What can you tell us about that?
The new album continues where we were left off with the last album. Again, the folk melodies [play] a big role. Sami had more time to arrange those lines this time and you can really hear the difference once again. In the studio, we wanted to catch all the emotions and feelings in the best possible way. Also, the sound is this time more natural and lively, not that compressed. Lyrics are, instead of [about] mythology, more about freedom, traveling, and life itself. Songs include very different kinds of feelings, the same feelings [that] you experience in your everyday life.
Finland's folk metal scene is undoubtedly the biggest in the world. Do you find you really get to know the guys in the other bands? Or is it more of a work thing?
Yes, we do. Many of us are good friends outside of work also.
You guys haven't sung in English on an album since 2009's Karkelo. Is it safe to say that there isn't much English in Korpiklaani's future?
We don't plan ahead what we'll do next, but I think it's quite safe to say that. We've been using a lot of Tuomas Keskimäki's texts and he writes only in Finnish.
Korpiklaani has toured so much of Europe and North America by now. Where will you be heading, once the album is released? Is there a favourite place you have to tour?
We will start two-week Russian tour on the day album is released. Four weeks in North America will follow in November. Then we'll tour Europe again in March 2019. I guess that there isn't a place that we "have" to tour, but the whole band enjoys, for example, touring the US very much.
Do you find that crowds respond better if they can understand the Finnish lyrics?
Well, it's hard for me to know who understands the lyrics and who doesn't. I'm pretty sure it doesn't change a thing. Response is always good [for] our gigs.
Do you, yourself, listen mostly to folk metal? What other kinds of music do you listen to?
No, I don't listen to folk metal. I hardly listen to metal at all. All kind of roots music is close to my heart, especially old tunes in blues and country.
I've always wanted to ask this, but if the members of Korpiklaani were a fantasy adventuring group, who would be who? Who's your tank, your archer, your wizard?
I must admit that I know nothing about fantasy groups or things. Referring to LOTR, we would probably be just a bunch of drunken hobbits in the background.
What is on your Bucketlist?
Nothing. I hate to think that you really have to do something in your life.
Thank you so much for speaking with us.
Thanks! See you in November!
You can get Korpiklaani's new album Kulkija worldwide on Sept. 7th via Nuclear Blast!

The Apple iPad has been out for just a few months now and it's really starting to acquire some popularity. It was also the yr that smartphone designers figured out tips on how to pack a massive screen in a tool that's nonetheless easy to hold, as seen within the iPhone X and Samsung Galaxy S8. And it was the year that consoles like the Nintendo Change meant gaming on the go now not meant making big sacrifices when it comes to sport high quality.
Bigger screens, more connectors, wi-fi capabilities, greater storage, batteries, and additional accessories are mean larger prices. Plus, Amazon itself is launching several new Alexa-enabled gadgets, so you need to use it in even more places. In Lighthouse mode, the units preserve your Roomba cleansing in a single room, then ship it off to deal with the next room for guided cleaning in up to three rooms.
Roku has been a pacesetter in streaming devices for years, offering access to your favourite streaming providers like Vudu and Netflix on simple-to-use devices that are easy on the finances as effectively. It even has nice parental control options constructed-in so you make sure your children aren't visiting harmful places on-line and that they've distraction-free homework time too.
We'll probably see more services designed to protect these smart-residence units from hacking. From the Web of Issues to analog equipment, we've tracked down cool tech & gadgets to enhance daily life or simply the duty at hand. These cool low-cost devices provide hours of entertainment and make a great present for boys.
Yet another thing to recollect is that geeky devices can provide rise to technical questions before gross sales. These are just some of the concepts we have seen at CES 2018, the annual consumer technology confab on the Las Vegas Convention Heart and other venues.

On Monday, June 13, 2016 at 7pm, The Apollo Theater held it's annual Spring Gala. This year, the gala featured a star-studded line up for its 11th Annual Spring Gala—its biggest fundraising event of the year. The concert portion of the evening featured performances by legendary R&B group, The O'Jays, and rising star Leon Bridges and Andra Day and was hosted by LL COOL J.
The Apollo Theater is a launching pad for up-and-coming artists through programs like Amateur Night, Apollo Music Café, and the new Apollo Comedy Club and, at this year's Spring Gala; we're excited not only to showcase the legends that have paved the way, but to also give a platform to the voices and talent of today. In addition to artistic programming and initiatives, our annual Spring Gala helps to support our educational programs that help nurture the creative spirit of music and culture in Harlem and across the world," stated Jonelle Procope, president & CEO of The Apollo Theater.
Mr. Dauman said, "It is a great honor to accept the corporate award for community leadership from an institution as legendary as the Apollo Theater. Our organizations share a deep commitment to advancing creative voices in American culture and honoring African-American artists, and Viacom applauds their outstanding work."
The Theater also announced that it will induct the one and only Prince into its Walk of Fame in honor of his incomparable contributions to music over the course of 40 years.
Prince joins previous Apollo Walk of Fame inductees—all legendary musicians, artists, and entertainers whose paths to fame included the Apollo, including: Chaka Khan, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Quincy Jones, Patti LaBelle, Smokey Robinson, James Brown, Gladys Knight and the Pips, Little Richard and Ella Fitzgerald. Inductees are honored with a plaque on the Apollo Walk of Fame, installed under the Theater's iconic marquee on 125th Street.
Procope states, "The Apollo family was of course, devastated to hear about the loss of Prince. He is, hands down, one of the greatest artists of all time – an absolute genius – and his relationship with the Apollo dates back to 1993. Over the years, we've been honored to host him, whether for a seminal New York performance or as a guest in our audience, so we are beyond thrilled to kick off this year's Spring Gala by inducting him into the Apollo Walk of Fame."
The Apollo Spring Gala began with a special ceremony to induct legendary recording artist Prince into the Apollo Walk of Fame which was held that afternoon, and continued with red carpet arrivals followed by an award ceremony and a concert with Musical Director Ray Chew (Dancing with the Stars) at the helm. The evening also included special tributes to the trailblazing artists that have been lost in 2016. The night culminated with a much buzzed about after party held in a stylish tent created by celebrity event planner and Apollo board member Bronson van Wyck. This year's after party featured a special Let's Go Crazy Dance Tribute with DJ D-Nice spinning a dedicated set to the sounds of Prince's diverse and extensive catalogue.
The 2016 Spring Gala event was a massive success with each year being as great as the next. For more information on the Apollo Theater, visit their website. You can also keep up with events via social media through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.

What do we mean, in business, when we say: "I don't know"? That we are lazy, and haven't paid attention to the facts? That we're dealing with a real open question and that we need to be flexible when the future unravels? Or that we really don't know because we're in uncharted waters?
Those three possibilities do not cover the same reality. And yet, we use the same word to describe them, namely "uncertainty." We'll think about the implications this has for business and leadership in the complex context of the Middle East and Lebanon.
Speaker: Jeremy Ghez, Associate Professor of Economics and International Affairs (Educational Track) at HEC Paris.

In March of this year, I submitted an article for publication, in which I said that most books about American Indians are set in the past, not present. The reviewer questioned my statement, suggesting that there has been a lot of change in recent decades, and that my statement was outdated.
To see if my perception was accurate, I went to the Children's Literature Comprehensive Database, which includes over 1,200,000 records and over 220,000 reviews from 34 different sources such as KIRKUS, HORN BOOK GUIDE, and Booklist. I searched the database, using the terms "American Indians" and "Native Americans" and I limited the search to works of fiction published in 2000. My search returned 42 titles; seven are set in the present day; the remaining 36 are historical fiction.
I don't know what the data looks like for fiction overall. Generally speaking, are more works of historical fiction published than works of realistic or modern fiction? Is it at this same ratio (7:36)? What about works of fiction about other US minorities? If I did the search using African Americans as my search term, what would I find?
If readers of the blog know of articles that include these statistics, please let us know.

At the Black Hat 2018 and DEF CON 26 security conferences held in Las Vegas last week, a security researcher detailed a backdoor mechanism in x86-based VIA C3 processors, a CPU family produced and sold between 2001 and 2003 by Taiwan-based VIA Technologies Inc. The affected CPU family was designed with PC use in mind but was more widely known for being deployed with point-of-sale units, smart kiosks, ATMs, gaming rigs, healthcare devices, and industrial automation equipment. The Rosenbridge backdoor mechanism Christopher Domas, a well-known hardware security expert, says that VIA C3 x86-based CPUs contain what he referred to as a "hidden God mode" that lets an attacker elevate the execution level of malicious code from kernel ring 3 (user mode) to kernel ring 0 (OS kernel). See here about CPU protection rings. Domas says that this backdoor mechanism —which he named Rosenbridge— is a RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) co-processor that sits alongside the main C3 processor.

A new report from EnigmaSoft -- makers of the SpyHunter anti-malware product -- reveals the US cities with the highest rates of malware infection. Systems in Atlanta, Orlando, and Denver are most likely to be infected, with Louisville, Witchita, and Anchorage has the lowest infection rates. "It's hard to say exactly why one city or state has a higher rate of infection than others," says EnigmaSoft spokesperson Ryan Gerding. "There's a wide variety at the top of the list. Larger cities, smaller cities, and cities in every geographic area. The same is true for the least infected areas. New York and San Francisco ranked near the very bottom of the list." Infections are listed by state too, with Colorado ranked highest and Alabama lowest. The findings also look at the days of the week when malware is most likely to hit. Wednesday comes out as the most dangerous day, with Saturdays and Sundays the least, perhaps showing that even cybercriminals like to take the weekends off. Infections detected range from what EnigmaSoft identifies as Potentially Unwanted Programs or 'nuisanceware', which slow down computers and change some settings, all the way to ransomware, which threatens to delete valuable files unless the victim pays a ransom. "No matter what city or state you are in or what day of the week it is, it is important to always be vigilant about the threat of malware and other infections," Gerding adds. Find out how your US city ranks by visiting OUR FORUM.
Attackers are targeting DLink DSL modem routers in Brazil and exploiting them to change the DNS settings to a DNS server under the attacker's control. This then allows them to redirect users attempting to connect to their online banks to fake banking websites that steal the user's account information. According to research by Radware, the exploit being used by the attackers allows them to perform remote unauthenticated changes to DNS settings on certain DLink DSL modems/routers. This allows them to easily scan for and script the changing of large amounts of vulnerable routers so that their DNS settings point to a DNS server under the attacker's control. When users visit the fake websites, they will look almost identical to the original banking site. At the fake site, though, they will be asked for the bank agency number, account number, eight-digit pin, mobile phone number, card pin, and a CABB number. This information is then collected by the attackers. Complete details can be found on OUR FORUM.
Microsoft has released a new Windows 10 Preview Build with version 18214 from the 19H1 branch for Skip Ahead Insiders. The latest build comes with one new feature "Your Phone App" apart from the usual list of bug fixes and performance improvements. Your Phone app is now available for Insiders who have opted for the Skip Ahead Ring with 19H1 builds. The Your Phone app was earlier available for testing for the Fast Rings Insiders and with today's build, Microsoft has made the app available for more Insiders to test. With the Your Phone app users get access to their Android phones recent photos which can be viewed on their PCs along with the option to drag and drop the photo onto their PC. iPhone users have also received some love from Microsoft with the Your Phone app helping them to link the phone with their PC. iPhone users surfing the web on the phone will be able to send the webpage to their PC and continue surfing from where they left off. As is always expected with Insider build you also find a lot of fixes and improvements which are pushed out with new features. Below is the full changelog of what's fixed and broken in the 19H1 build. Check out OUR FORUM for more.
Microsoft has patented yet another design for a dual-display device. The latest patent is about "multi-display systems" which could be a traditional desktop, notebook or tablet computers, hand-held personal digital assistants (PDAs). It appears that the patent has nothing to do with the long-rumored Andromeda dual-screen device as there's no mention of the hinge in the patent application. First discovered by us, the patent titled "MULTI-DISPLAY SYSTEM" was published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office on August 9, 2018, and it was filed by Microsoft in February 2017. The patent basically explains the techniques that would correct misalignment issues in a multi-display system by identifying a misalignment between a plurality of displays in the multi-display device. "As computer systems have increased in power and capacity that allow for multiple applications to run concurrently, it has become commonplace for computer systems to include more than one display device or monitor. Systems with multiple displays (or "multi-display systems"), however, are not limited to traditional desktop systems. Instead, multi-display systems can be implemented in a variety of systems, including notebook or tablet computers, hand-held personal digital assistants (PDAs), multiscreen television systems, etc. Even further, many multi-display systems are implemented without being connected to a computer system," Microsoft writes in the background section of the patent. More on this patent can be found on OUR FORUM.
Microsoft today announced a partnership with Agile Networks to bring high-speed internet access to 110,000 currently unserved people in rural areas in Ohio. Microsoft will make use of Agile's telecommunications infrastructure throughout the state including TV white spaces, to provide broadband internet for the next four years. This high-speed internet will enable many critical functions in medical clinics and rural hospitals, schools, oil and gas wells, agriculture operations, and households. "In today's digital economy, broadband access has become a necessity across industries including healthcare, agriculture, business, and education," said Shelley McKinley, Microsoft's head of Technology and Corporate Responsibility. "Our partnership with Agile will help deliver broadband internet access to rural communities across Ohio so that they can take advantage of today's and tomorrow's opportunities and the latest cloud technologies." "People across the state, no matter where they choose to live, work and send their children to school, should have the same access to strong, reliable broadband service," said Kyle Quillen, Agile Networks Founder, and CEO.

It seems that going green, can also include black and the occasional orange pekoe.
Here are a few "home tips" found online for cleaning with tea:
Cleaning Hardwood Floors using Black Tea
Tip: To keep your wood floor looking new and shiny at all times, make a tannic liquid by steeping 5-6 black tea bags in a pot of water.
- Bring a full pot of water to a boil
- Remove from heat, and add 5-6 black tea bags
- Allow to steep for 10 minutes
- Pour the tea mixture into your mob bucket and damp mop the floors
Cleaning Rusted Garden Tools using Tea
Tip: Make two pots of really strong black tea. Soak the tools in the cooled mixture for a few hours and then remove and wipe with a cloth.
- Bring a full pot of water to a boil
- Remove from heat, and add 8 black tea bags
- Cool and pour into a large bucket
- Soak your tools, then wipe with a damp cloth
Voila, you can go back to decorating your patio or puttering in the garden almost immediately!
Deodorizing with Green Tea
Used green tea leaves, dried after steeping, have strong deodorizing properties. Sprinkle the dried tea leaves in with fresh or sprinkle on a carpet, let sit for 5-10 minutes, and then vacuum. Make sure they are thoroughly dried before using so that they don't stain the carpet.
- Bring a full pot of water to a boil
- Add a cup of loose green tea leaves
- Allow to steep for 10 minutes
- Drain and place the leaves out to dry
- Sprinkle the dried tea leaves on upholstery or carpet, or place a bowl in the refrigerator
You can also place used tea bags (once they've thoroughly dried out, of course) inside old sneakers to help absorb and eliminate odors!
Removing Toilet Stains with Old Tea Bags
Drop used tea bags into the toilet bowl, allow them to sit for a few hours then, flush, brush the flush again. Caution is warned with this to not repeat too frequently, as tea can also leave stains of its own over time.
Tea for Two Windows (or Mirrors)
Similar to methods using Vinegar or Lemon, cold brewed tea can be placed in a spray bottle and used to make windows and mirrors shine.
Always Test Your Tea
Always keep in mind that, although the Internet is great source for unique ideas, always test new cleaning methods on a small, hidden spot to check for discoloration or other negative side effects of the cleaning method.
It may not ever happen, but it's always better safe than sorry.
