Have you ever stopped to think about how many times the Bible talks about sharing the messages of God in the Bible with our children? This particular pa...
Broken relationships are everywhere.
I heard this last week of a lady who went home from work only to hear her husband of several years tell her to get out, for he no longer loved her.
A dear friend of ours had her husband of 35 years leave her for a homosexual lifestyle...

That one word raises a whole host of emotions in certain people.
For some, it brings back painful memories.
For some, it causes feelings of great guilt and regret.
For others, it is a word that they fight to avoid every day of their life.
The reason for this is...
"I am sorry."
"I am wrong."
"I sinned."
These are humbling sentences. Sentences that no one wants to say, for they admit guilt. They admit that I am not perfect. They admit that I did something wrong.
That is one thing we want to admit to no one.
It is kind of...

And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen.

When Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with His disciples over the Brook Kidron, where there was a great garden, which He and His disciples entered. And Judas, who betrayed Him, also knew the place; for Jesus often met there with His disciples.

Have you noticed how much Jesus talks about the Holy Spirit in chapters 14 and following of John? Of all the verses, perhaps this one is most interesting: Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper w...

Reading through John has been an emotional rollercoaster for me. There are stories that both amaze me and make me emotional at the same time.
Take for example the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. Here we see the power of Jesus and the faith of Mary and Ma...

She was guilty. There is no doubt about that. She was caught "red handed."
She was an adulteress. She was caught in bed with the man. The price, according to the law, was death by stoning.
So they brought her out, picked up the stones and prepared to throw.

It was a sack lunch. Nothing special. It was just the ingredients to make a couple of fish sandwiches. Five loaves of barley bread, 2 small fish.
But he gave them to Jesus. With that small sack lunch offering, Jesus was able to feed 5,000 men plus women an...

Five Steps to check your WFM
One of the most unknown products of Microsoft is this "Workflow Manager".
Here we have a product that usually people don't even realize that it exists until they stumble upon him when configuring a SharePoint 2013 Server.
Most of the times, there is no big deal when installing this Workflow Manager and even the configuration process is pretty much straightforward and done by a "Next-Next Wizard".
Usually however some issues arises, when you start seeing some errors on your SharePoint related to workflows, then you really need to understand if the problem that you are facing is on the SharePoint side, or you need to go looking inside your Workflow Manager Farm.
To help with this here it goes some simple really simple steps that can be done to validate if there is indeed an issue on your Workflow Manager Farm.
First Step - Validate your Workflow Manager Farm Topology
You can start a "Workflow Manager PowerShell" as an "Administrator and validate if you are on a supported scenario, if not, you might be facing an issue that could be related to fact you have a number of Servers in your Workflow Manager Farm that is not supported.
Just remember, Workflow Manager only supports two (and only two)simple topologies: "a WFM Farm with 1 Server" or "a WFM Farm with 3 Servers", this is mainly due to the fact how the Service Bus internally attains Server Quorum for the Load Balancing internal stuf (maybe one of this days it will worth publishing something around this topic).
Validating this requirement should be easy, using the "Workflow Manager PowerShell" cmdlets : "Get-WFFarm" and "Get-SBFarm".
Look for the values on the "Hosts" fields.
Second Step - Validate if your Services are running
The second step, should be validating if all the Workflow Manager related Services are running.
Again, here the Workflow Manager Powershell cmdlets can help once more. You can use the "Get-WFFarmStatus" and the "Get-SBFarmStatus". Of course, if any of those services are not on the "Running" state, then you have a problem on your Workflow Manager.
Third Step - Validate the Application and Services Logs
Just remember, if there is any issue on your Workflow Manager it should be some errors/warning registered in the Event Viewer. There are two special containers in the Application and Services logs dedicated to the Workflow Manager and Service Bus, just go there and check it out.
Fourth Step - Validate the Patching Level of your WFM Installation
You have no idea how many times in the past I got involved in helping out on an critical issue around Workflow Manager and the solution was "just" install the latest Cumulative Update. I can pretty much guarantee you that if you do not have the latest Cumulative Update for Workflow Manager you are bound to face some issues on your Workflow Manager Farm.
So, you should always validate if the latest Cumulative Update for Workflow Manager (at the time of this writing it is the "Workflow Manager CU3") is installed. The best way to get this info is going straight to the "Control Panel" and on the "Program Features"
Fifth Step - Validate the Patching Level of your WFM Installation
The way the SharePoint communicate with the Workflow Manager is through the a Workflow Manager Front-end that is installed and configured as an IIS Site on all the Servers of the WFM Farm.
So, as the first step look at the output of your "Workflow Manager PowerShell" cmdlet, "Get-WFFarm", on the field "Endpoints" you should see the endpoints that can be used to access the Workflow Manager from the outside.
Then, open a browser as an Administrator and navigate to each one of the Endpoints listed (you should receive a Authentication prompt, that's expected), you should be able to browse it.
And that's it, most of time these simple steps allows you to get an idea about what's happening in your Workflow Manager Farm and if its prevented the normal execution of the SharePoint Workflows on your Portal.
Hope that helps find your solution

Carroll Levis
Carroll Richard Levis (March 15, 1910 – October 17, 1968) was a talent scout, impresario and television and radio personality. Born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and brought up in Vancouver, he moved to England in 1935 and joined the BBC, where he hosted a regular programme showcasing unknown performers discovered through his touring stage show. In 1939 he appeared in the film "Discoveries". In 1948 he starred in the British mystery film Brass Monkey, in which he played himself. He also had an acting role in The Depraved (1957).[1]
In 1945, Levis was featured in a concert show which entertained troops of the First Canadian Army. In the 1950s he hosted a talent competition for young people called The Carroll Levis Discovery Show.[2] At the opening of his TV Show, the Banner read, "TeLEVISion", utilising his name, "Levis", which formed part of the word, "Television". In 1961 he removed himself from the public eye, only to attempt a return in 1968 after a four-year struggle with a stomach ailment. He died the same year.[3]

In Vitro Toxicology
Book Description
Toxicology has made tremendous strides in the sophistication of the models used to identify and understand the mechanisms of agents that can harm or kill humand and other higher organisms.
Non-animals or in vitro models started to gain significant use in the 1960s. As a result of the increased concern over animal welfare, economic factors, and the need for greater sensitivity and understanding of mechanisms, interest in in vitro^n models has risen.
This volume demonstrates that there now exists a broad range of in vitro models for use in either identifying or understanding most forms of toxicity. The availability of in vitro models spans both the full range of endpoints (irritation, sensitization, lethality, mutagenicity, and devlopmental toxicity) and the full spectrum of target organ systems (skin, eye, heart, liver, kidney, nervous system, etc.). Chapters are devoted to each of these speciality areas from a perspective of presenting the principal models and their uses and limitations.
Chapters that overview the principles involved in the general selection and use of models, and that address the issues of safety concerns and regulatory acceptance of these methods are also included.

'Femi Asu
The Transmission Company of Nigeria said it had completed and energised three new transformers in Jos, Plateau State, and Abeokuta, Ogun State in line with its Transmission Rehabilitation and Expansion Programme.
The TCN, in a statement, also announced that it had fully repaired and energised the Dan Agundi 60MVA 132/33kV power transformer in Kano State, which got burnt in December 2017.
The company's General Manager, Public Affairs, Mrs. Ndidi Mbah, said the new 1x60MVA, 132/33kV transformer installed in Jos 330/132/33kV Transmission Substation had improved the transmission of bulk electricity to the Dogan Dutse 33kV distribution line feeding the heart of Jos as well as Anglo-Jos 33kV feeder supplying power to the state secretariat, GRA and environs.
According to the statement, the Jos Transmission Substation, which was established in 1975 with 120MVA transformer capacity, now has 180MVA capacity at 132/33kV circuit.
She said the replacement of 2x30MVA with new 2x60MVA, 132/33kV power transformers in Abeokuta Transmission Substation had substantially increased transformer capacity from 90MVA to 150MVA and consequently improved and further stabilised power supply to Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company's load centres for onward distribution to electricity customers.
The TCN stated that the Dan Agundi 60MVA transformer in Kano Transmission Substation, which caught fire in December 2017, had been restored to the system by its engineers.
It said, "This is an indication of increased motivation and experience of the TCN's engineers garnered through the programme of the present management aimed at building capacity of Nigerian engineers and using them in projects execution."
The company said the capacity of the Dan Agundi Substation had increased to 180MVA, adding, "In order to ensure optimal utilisation of this additional capacity, the TCN is seeking the collaboration of Kano State Government to ensure that the Kumbosto-Dan Agundi 132kV Transmission Line is re-conducted to enable it to wheel more power to the Kano Disco's feeders.

Shareholders seek Interpublic sell-off after accounting misconduct
Interpublic Group was weighing up the prospect of a sell-off this week after its attempts to dampen shareholder calls for a sale were rejected by the US financial regulator, the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The FutureBrand owner faces the prospect of the sale of its assets to the highest bidder after a shareholder backlash following a series of accounting irregularities at the company.
Lorna Tilbian, analyst at Numis Securities, says that in spite of the troubles of the past few years, IPG 'remained a force to be reckoned with in terms of its operations and core business'.
She adds that in the event of a break-up, the group would attempt to salvage its best assets, such as media agency network Universal McCann, and sell off its smaller brands.
'If FutureBrand is a nugget it will get approaches,' she adds. FutureBrand declined to comment on the news.
Last week, IPG announced it is to restate its earnings for the past six quarters on 30 September, as it revealed details of its investigation into accounting errors.
Evidence of 'possible employee misconduct' has emerged, it said. The company has uncovered 'instances of falsified books and records, violations of laws, regulations and company policies, misappropriation of assets and inappropriate customer charges and dealings with vendors'.

I've always liked math, probably because there is no ambiguity. It's either right or wrong, or said another way, there is no politics in math. In the case of Obamacare, formally known as the Affordable Care Act, the math just simply did not add up, and the problems were known. Anyone that did not sleep through 5th grade math class could deduce that Obamacare was unaffordable, and would result in a death spiral of diminished care, because costs would continue to rise exponentially faster than people's ability to pay. Since the cost problem was never addressed, insurers would have to raise premiums or pull out of the system, which has already happened in several states.
This exponential math problem is the result of a fraudulent healthcare system that is infected with the same cronyism disease that has infected the other industrialized complexes that have leached onto a too powerful govt that not only requires too much money, but doles out preferential treatment to the highest bidder, which destroys the free market's ability to provide the most value at the best price. This problem, that so many thought would not occur because they simply ignored it, will come to a head in 2017, due to the dubble whammy of costs rising exponentially and the low returns in Social Security due to ZIRP (Zero Interest Rate Policy).
The destruction of competition in the healthcare industry, paid for with bribes (donations to political campaigns by large corporations and special interests), coupled with taking the spending decision out ot the hands of the patient, has been the biggest reasons that govt spending on healthcare has increased an average of 9.3% PER YEAR for over 30 years. This is where 5th grade exponential math comes in, because if you grow anything at 9.3% every year for 30 years, the curve starts to go parabolic, that is straight up, making it unsustainable.
Students are often taught about the positive impact of compound interest on savings, which has been negligible over the last 8 years of ZIRP, and is destroying retirees and pension & insurance funds, but that's a story for another time. However, how many times are students taught about the negative impact of compounding an expense, be it healthcare cost or interest from excessive debt?
The bottom line is for over 30 years healthcare and defense spending have been growing much faster than the economy (thus tax receipts) – an economy, by the way, that is almost 40% produced by interest-bearing debt. Bought off politicians that care more about their career, perks, and power are unwilling to prioritize our country's expenses for fear of losing their lifestyle, resulting in an out-of-control budget that is sinking our economy and society.
The pension crisis will start hitting the periphery (foreign countries) in the next two years due to NIRP (Negative Interest Rate Policy), which could only be conconcted by Ivory Tower theorist that have zero practical experience and exceed Einstein's defintion of insanity. If you want to better understand how NIRP is destroying the world economy, I highly recommend a recent Armstrong article and the links included. As the govt bond bubble pops, funds like Social Security that contain Treasury bond IOUs will become insolvent by late 2021, according to Armstrong's data analysis.

A Brief History Of Betting In Brazil
Betting in Brazil is a complicated issue that has been a hot talking point for the legislative bodies for over 75 years. And that makes it one of the most fascinating countries for gambling in the world, particularly in today's modern environment.
Here's all you need to know about the current climate in the South American country, along with what to expect over the coming years.
The Criminal Contravention Act 1941
Prior to 1941, betting on Brazilian soil was perfectly legal. That all changed thanks to the introduction of the Criminal Contravention Act 1941. This law made almost all forms of gambling betting illegal. This covers casino gambling, sports betting, and wagering on any event based on luck.
Since 1946, it has been possible to make gambling legal. But this is only possible when an independent legislation is used to bypass the existing 1941 act. So for the most part, gambling operations in Brazil are banned.
The Exceptions
There are some exceptions to the rules, with horse racing being one of the most notable. Betting at the horse track is fine, as long as the operators have gained the right permits. This makes the sport of kings a popular option throughout the major cities.
Throughout the years, other individual laws have been passed. At one time, bingo was allowed as a fundraising activity. However, this ruling was soon overturned after it became a target for illegal activities.
Essentially, betting on sporting activities is sometimes available at the designated venues. As for casino and luck games, though, the laws prohibit almost all activity.
The Alternatives
While betting is illegal (or at least very limited), that doesn't stop Brazilians from placing bets through unlicensed vendors. Unsurprisingly, soccer is a common source of betting due to the country's passion for the beautiful game. There are a variety of other sports that will see illegal wagering while casino games and similar operations can also be found. In total, Brazil's illegal gambling industry is believed to generate around R$20bn each year.
Nowadays, though, illegal operators aren't the only option for Brazilian punters. The growth of online gaming outlets has moved the goalposts forever. Many of the big global companies offer their services to this demographic, and the local authorities cannot do much to stop them. Thanks to those international internet operations, the lack of legal shops seems a little redundant.
And this is one of the chief reasons that the legal standing is under constant scrutiny.
The Future
As things stand, the Brazilian governments are losing out on the huge R$20bn industry. After years of discussions, the continued influx of online betting in the region has forced the authorities to take greater care. The common belief is that betting in official outlets will become legal at some stage in the not too distant future. Once this inevitably happens, it will be better for everyone – not least the punter.
In the meantime, Brazilians will continue to place wagers on soccer, horse racing, and other sports via online outlets.

What I would do would be this.
If all the folders in question are in a directory you can apply or flow down the top level permissions to all the sub folders below that folder in one pass.
If this is not the case then you will have to apply the permissions to each folder.
If the folders in question are in a folder ( they have to at least be on a drive, then you can change permissions at the top level folder (drive) that will apply to all folders below that folder.
You need to go to the top folder>properties>security
Add/remove/change etc the security that you wish to apply to all the sub folders.
Go to the advanced button and click the checkbox to replace permissions on all child objects>apply then ok
This may take sometime as it will have to go to each folder below and apply the permissions you have set.
If you in a mixed folder environment, then you have to use this carefully as you can overwrite permissions preset that you may not be aware of.. Typically you only want two levels deep max for sharing folders anyway, and this is a good reason to do it that way.
Good Luck.
Use the tools DSQUERY and DSMOD in conjunction with each other to set the home directory of your users.
such as: DSQUERY [users/groups] | DSMOD -homedr <homedirectory> or -profile <profile path>
I haven't done this recently, Im not even sure if you need the DSQUERY command
Note that copying folders rather than moving folders maintaines security permissions.
Also, exporting the users and groups by the DSQUERY or CSVDE commands, editing the group membership and then reimporting the groups can be achieved (good for repeat performances, backing up, setting up groups enmasse)

— 22nd July 2003
A couple of restaurants stand out from Paris and so for completions sake (and so I can get on with writing about something else) I'm just going describe them. Both were recommendations from the guide book we took with us.
- Auberge du Sud
- This one was up in Monmartre and we wandered up there one night to find it. It was a fair walk and uphill nearly all the way so we were quite tired and ready for a seat by the time we arrived. This was about 6pm and upon arriving we found the restaurant wasn't going to open until 7:30pm. Not good, but no problem we'll just go and have a beer and wait. So off we trotted down the hill and found a little cafe and ordered a couple of beers. While we were sat there this guy turned up. He was obviously half cut and was wearing what looked like a silver cowboy suit. He was trying to start conversations with people around the cafe and for us who weren't to confident with our french this was a little off putting to say the least. Just then an old man came and sat at the table next to us and was kind of leering at Kirsty. So we decided to leave.
- We walked down the road a little and found another cafe on a little square near a metro station entrance. We found a seat and ordered a couple of beers only to be told that they didn't serve alcohol. Hmmmmmm, well we were just trying to kill some time not get drunk, so we ordered a couple of cokes. Strangely she made us pay straight away (the only time it happened all week) and it cost €7 which is like a fiver for two cokes!! Then just as we were drinking them the bloody silver cowboy arrived at this cafe and started chatting to a group of young lads next to us. Not only this but he seemed to have brought a friend, and equally drunk old woman who was equally as chatty. We tried not to attract their attention and were talking about what a strange night it was turning into and how we'd better be careful not to buy any more cokes at these prices, and then the waitress came over and told us that the cafe was closing for the day so we'd have to leave. We still had half a glass of this extremely valuable coke left but it got left, coz we left.
- We hadn't really killed much time but we couldn't afford more liquid entertainment so we strolled back up to near the restaurant and found a bench with a view of the front door and sat there till the damn thing opened. We could have found another restaurant I suppose but by that time I was determined that something should, at least partly, go to plan.
- Eventually, the restaurant opened and we went in. It was beautifully decorated in a sort of Moroccan style with dark brown metal furniture with the shapes of suns stamped out of them. The walls were all yellow and orange and there were brightly coloured paintings hung everywhere (the one near us was of a group of aubergines!?!). The menu however was completely impenetrable and we were having great difficulty trying to even find something we could translate properly let alone make a decision. So it was a great relief when the waiter came over and asked "Are we going to do this in English or in French?". He was a very nice guy and explained that the speciality of the restaurant was a kind of quiche, popular in southern France. They came in lots of different types and flavours, but he said we wouldn't taste their like anywhere else in Paris. We made our choice from the long list he reeled off and when they arrived we were not disappointed. They were incredibly good. The whole meal was fantastic and I can only say I was very glad we waited.
- After the meal we walked home and Kirsty got so much pain from the little shoes she was wearing she had to take them off and walk most of the way bare foot.
Right well that turned out to be far longer than expected so you'll have to wait till next time to find out about the other restaurant that stood out.

In a blog post by Julie Crisp of Tor Books UK, we get a progress report on the decision to drop DRM from their e-books. The big take-aways are:
- There was no increase in piracy of their books from removing DRM. Julie says this could be because the SF community is close-knit, and authors and readers have a lot of contact. Of course, anyone who has ever gone to a Science Fiction convention knows how that works. I think what this reinforces for me is the idea that in this 21st century networked world, a relationship between the artist and the audience is a key factor in success.
- They found that their authors, even the most commercially successful ones (like Peter F. Hamilton and China Mieville) were completely supportive of the move, and saw it as showing respect for the paying customers. And given the piracy results above, ti might appear that showing respect for your customers is more likely to encourage them to show respect for you.
- They saw this as hugely positive, saying " it's helped establish Tor and Tor UK as an imprint that listens to its readers and authors when they approach us with a mutual concern—and for that we've gained an amazing amount of support and loyalty from the community."
Now we need other publishers to learn from this, and maybe DRM in e-books can become a thing of the past.

Thanks to this system, the door allows to save space by rising vertically and sliding under the ceiling. A car may thus be parked near the door without jeopardizing the operation of the door.
Existing garage:
The shape of the bay (circular, straight …) doesn't interfere with the fixing of this type of door. Each door is made to measure and fits your building.
With its built in security system complying with the highest safety requirements, the system meets all the relevant European standards (CE certificate).
Our doors are insulated with double walls and measure 42mm, equivalent to a thermal insulation coefficient of 1 to 1.4 W/m².
Model :
We offer a large range of different models and colours so your door is designed exactly according to your tastes and wishes. You may also choose portholes or a security gate or you may want to contact us if you have any other concrete ideas.
You may choose to come and collect your door in our show room or have it delivered to your address.
Insulation, resistance to intrusions (especially linked to a motor without any external lock), easy operation and most importantly, space saving inside and outside.
Detail of panels of your door
The ISO system garage door consists of so-called ISO-panels. The sectional garage door is custom made. Length of the panel depends on the width of the opening of the garage.
The system used is called the "sandwich principle". This is a panel of sheet steel and rigid foam (Polyurethane). Each side is in galvanized steel + color.
The panels are placed in the longitudinal direction and are hinged. The design of panels is chosen so as to minimize the risk of pinching of fingers between the panels during opening and closing.
This product is very weathe and corrosion resistant.
The sectional garage door is characterized by its heat insulating properties noise level, and modern panels.

Submitted by James H. Kunstler via Kunstler.com,
Even the formerly august New York Times grants that Donald J. Trump has ignited a voter firestorm of grievance against a dumb show election process that rewards a craven avoidance of real issues. Immigration is actually a stand-in for the paralysis, incompetence, overreach, and bloatedness of government generally in our time — but it is a good doorway into the larger problem.
Immigration is a practical problem, with visible effects on-the-ground, easy to understand. I'm enjoying the Trump-provoked debate mostly because it is a pushback against the disgusting dishonesty of political correctness that has bogged down the educated classes in a swamp of sentimentality. For instance, Times Sunday Magazine staffer Emily Bazelon wrote a polemic last week inveighing against the use of the word "illegal" applied to people who cross the border without permission on the grounds that it "justifies their mistreatment." One infers she means that sending them back where they came from equals mistreatment.
It's refreshing that Trump is able to cut through this kind of tendentious crap. If that were his only role, it would be a good one, because political correctness is an intellectual disease that is making it impossible for even educated people to think — especially people who affect to be political leaders. Trump's fellow Republicans are entertainingly trapped in their own cowardliness and it's fun to watch them squirm.
But for me, everything else about Trump is frankly sickening, from his sneering manner of speech, to the worldview he reveals day by day, to the incoherence of his rhetoric, to the wolverine that lives on top of his head. The thought of Trump actually getting elected makes me wonder where Arthur Bremer is when we really need him.
Did any of you actually catch Trump's performance last week at the so-called "town meeting" event in New Hampshire (really just a trumped-up pep rally)? I don't think I miscounted that Trump told the audience he was "very smart" 23 times in the course of his remarks. If he really was smart, he would know that such tedious assertions only suggest he is deeply insecure about his own intelligence. After all, this is a man whose lifework has been putting up giant buildings that resemble bowling trophies, some of them in the service of one of the worst activities of our time, legalized gambling, which is based on the socially pernicious idea that it's possible to get something for nothing.
I daresay that legalized gambling has had a possibly worse effect on American life the past three decades than illegal immigration. Gambling is a marginal activity for marginal people that belongs on the margins — the back rooms and back alleys. It was consigned there for decades because it was understood that it's not healthy for the public to believe that it's possible to get something for nothing, that it undermines perhaps the most fundamental principle of human life.
Trump's verbal incoherence is really something to behold. He's incapable of expressing a complete thought without venturing down a dendritic maze of digressions, often leading to an assertion of how much he is loved (another sign of insecurity). For example, when he attacked Jeb's (no last name necessary) statement that we have to show Iraqi leaders that "we have skin in the game," Trump invoked the "wounded warriors," saying "I love them. They're everywhere. They love me." In the immortal words of Tina Turner, "what's love got to do with it?"
Trump's notion that he can push around world leaders such as Vladimir Putin by treating them as though they were president of the Cement Workers' Union ought to give thoughtful people the vapors. It doesn't seem to occur to Trump that other countries could easily get pugnacious towards us. He would have us in a world war before the inaugural parade was over.
The trouble is that it's not inconceivable Trump could get elected. Farfetched, perhaps, but not out of the question. The USA is heading for a very rough patch of history — as those of you with your eyes on the stock indexes lately may suspect. The country stands an excellent chance of waking up some morning soon to discover it is broke and broken. When that happens, all the anxiety and animus will be focused on looking for scapegoats, and they are likely to be the wrong ones. World leaders considered Hitler a clown in the early going, too, you know. But the Germans were wild about him. He pushed a lot of the right buttons under the circumstances. Trump is worse than Hitler. And the American people, alas, are now surely a worse lot of ignorant, raging, tattooed slobs than the German people were in 1933. Be very afraid.

At this point in your exploration of SEO, you most likely know that this process is like investing in the stock market, diversification is your friend. We think you should "mix things up" and and get a wide variety of content out there, going for many different kinds of links – Guest Posts, social shares, forum comments, blog comments, a little of everything – anything you can get. This will make sure your linkbuilding profile is diverse and appears natural. One of the most under appreciated tools we love that is just superb at diversifying is – the Press Release – really it is a hidden gold mine for SEO that not many use like they should.
What are two kinds of Press Releases?
Basically, there are 2 basic kinds of Press Releases.
The first has the true intention of a press release – an event that is newsworthy and really should receive coverage from the press, being closer to what you read in the newspaper or that would air as a small segment on a TV news program. That is what press releases are truly meant to do – announce to journalists and the media a piece of information that they might want to put into a story in progress, publicize alone or look into for more information.
Yet, there is also another solid use for press releases that has a whole industry that has sprung up around it: press releases for SEO. What we aim for when we do an SEO press release is to get citations and backlinks, it's that clear cut. Now, obviously it is important to have the content be of quality and when you can make that press release newsworthy then it's even better, but what we are truly after here is getting it distributed to the large network of press release sites out there today.
How We Approach It
We have an approach we recommend when we do press releases and we think you'd do well to follow it. What we do first is create a PR every month, as a general rule, for every site we promote and then we send those press releases to more than 125 different sites. Every month we also make a higher profile distribution of a press release via NewsWire so that we are mixing it up a bit by getting these PR's placed on sites with higher authority.
How Effective is This Approach?
For linkbuilding and raising a site's authority press releases certainly are effective. Most sites that pick up press releases have a fairly high authority. When you can get a link from them, even if it is a DA low deep link, the trustrank and authority are beneficial. Beyond that, you also get several citations from distributions like this that are positive plus they appear nice and natural to search engines.
When your web site is mentioned within content, even without having a link that goes to your site, this is called a citation. You might worry that this is useless, but that's incorrect. Take Google Local as an example, it gives citations quite a bit of weight.
Below is a graphic showing a recent Google results for a press release we put out for one site a while ago.
Remember, though, that this post was originally written on the 24th of November, 2018 and updated on April 12, 2019 and we captured that image the same day we put out the original press release. In order for you to get a glimpse of the real power a Press Release offers you after distribution, let's look at this search just about 30 days later on the 28th of December, 2018. Just look at how sharply its increased because of the distribution.
The Easy Way to Get Press Releases Distributed in No Time
There really are many different options for this. Obviously. since we own a content business, and use it ourselves, we recommend its Press Release authoring and distributing service because it is "hands off" and gets you manual submission to more than 125 different sites, giving you a full report on each submission made. We're even able to do NewsWire type submissions for you on a quarterly basis. Still, we recognize that not everyone will want to do this and we respect that, too, because there are plenty of other routes you could take.
Doing Press Release Submissions Yourself
For those that would prefer to keep things free, lots of different sites will take press releases, like PrLog.org and plenty of other, similar sites. If you do a Google search for "free press release distribution" you will find a lot of these sites. You'll spend a good deal of time of this because you need to research them, make an account on each, verify that account and then get started uploading content to each of them. However, over time you can create a swipe file of the sites you are using with your account info in it and that will make things somewhat faster. This is what you get from a press release distribution by our TopMarketingStrategies.com store but there isn't any reason you can't handle this on your own if you don't mind spending the time to do it.
In Conclusion
You can choose to do everything by hand, outsource the whole process or do a little of both by having someone else write your press release and submit it – there are a bunch of options so make sure you are taking advantage of this smart, effective tactic for SEO that too few are using to bolster their sites. Press releases might only give us limited benefits in terms of targeted anchor text, but they can really boost citations of your site, build non-anchor text links and offer you a diverse selection of domains from which to get links.

That Tony Stark was based on Howard Hughes is not a new revelation. Tony's father was named Howard Stark as well. A billionaire industrialist, the movies also had Tony Stark called before a Senate Committee as Howard Hughes was.
But how far did this go? How did Howard Hughes' missing months and involvement with the CIA affect Iron Man? And what was the purpose of all this?
Welcome to #MarvelDeclassified, a new historical series running on Bleeding Cool starting on Monday morning, the day after San Diego Comic-Con. Your favourite Marvel Comics characters, as you've never seen them before, ripped screaming from the headlines of the day. And the inspiration behind them that you never thought existed – and in some cases has been explicitly denied. Historian, paper expert and Bleeding Cool General Manager Mark Seifert has combined his loves and discovered, as usual, that history is bunk. There's a lot more to know, a record to correct and a belief about just how much the early Marvel Comics owes to the politics of the day to be brought to light. And what the whole point of it was too…
#MarvelDeclassified begins on Monday morning. Why not join us? Oh and regarding yesterday's teaser, Mark Seifert writes,
Cybernetics teaser supplement: This is one of the most fascinating parts of #marveldeclassified. Well, one of many fascinating parts of it. On October 15 1962, the head of a CIA task force on the development of Soviet Cybernetics was giving a presentation on the matter to Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara, and others. The CIA was trying to sound the alarm about what they saw as "Soviet commitment to a fundamental cybernetic strategy".
The presentation was ended when the assembled group received word that the placement of Soviet missiles had been detected in Cuba.
After the crisis, matters progressed, both in the halls of government, and in some pretty obvious ways elsewhere.

Sierra Leone's electoral commission is working intensely to finalise tallying of runoff polls of March 31st, as the West African country stands on a brink of democratic transition. It is not clear between the ruling All People's Congress and main opposition Sierra Leone People's Party who has won the polls as party sources each have been claiming victory following outcomes of the weekend exercise. Abu Bakarr Tarawally reports.
Results are expected to be announced in the next 48 hours, sources at the National Electoral Commission state. The tallying process was halted on Sunday April 1st, following a disagreement between the APC and SLPP representative as to which system the NEC should use to input the final results.
The controversy was whether or not NEC should utilise the Tally2018, an application software purchased to input the data graphics of the elections results. The APC suggested the results be inputted in Excel spreadsheet simultaneously with the tally2018 application. The SLPP on the other-hand suggested that the stand alone system should utilise the same tally2018 software to maintain same graphic format and consistency with the results. Foreign observer mission had to intervene and and held a meeting Monday Morning April 2, chaired by head of the African Union and the Sahel region, Mohammad Ibn Chambas the candidates resolved to agree on both systems.
Provisional results have clearly stated that the SLPP had a clean sweep in Kono, one of the swing states staking the election and conversely, the APC takes an easy comfort zone in the north-western Kambia and a total command of the north. The APC still leads in the Western Area, but the SLPP made clear more than inroads –improving the figures from the March 7 showdown. The voting pattern remains constant in the southeast for the SLPP but the APC improves the figures slightly in Pujehun and some portions in Moyamba district.
The new Karene district where Dr. Samura Mathew Wilson Kamara came from voted mass for the APC. The two parties maintained a strongholds strata waiting on a side-stepping advantage to eclipse in the runoff.
Events of Saturday March 31st characterised a standoff in the capital Freetown in the evening hours as reports indicate skirmishes between ruling party operatives and ordinary citizens. Journalists Ibrahim Samura of the New Age newspaper and a reporter of the Concord Times newspaper were assaulted while in line of duty covering the melee. Government ministers, security detail to outgoing President Koroma and the president's daughter is alleged to have hands in the assault case of the journalist at Lumley, in the west end of Freetown.
According to Ibrahim Samura, the deputy minister of trade and industry, Ibrahim Washinguy Mansaray, one Moisa Kekura a party operative, one Dankay Koroma, daughter of President Koroma and the president's security details manhandled him in full view of the public as was flogged with dog chains and frog-matched to stupor.
A supporter of the SLPP candidate, Retired Julius Maada Bio came under attacks at Lumley. Reports indicate that police fired live bullets in crowds and one of Julius Maada Bio's body guards was injured, and his vehicle damaged. Police have not updated the public why they triggered the live shot but many have put in the usual trigger happy character of the delta forces who often mishandle rioting situations.
Moreover, the social media is already washed with all shades of opinion predicting a possible winner of the runoff election between Retired Brigadier Julius Maada Bio and Dr. Amura Mathew Wilson Kamara.

From creator/showrunner Aaron Martin (Killjoys), the 10-episode sci-fi drama series Another Life (available to stream at Netflix on July 25th) follows Niko Breckinridge (Katee Sackhoff), an astronaut who ventures out into space in search of alien intelligence, but quickly realizes that she and her crew are facing unimaginable dangers that could keep them from ever returning home. And if they can manage to survive the external threat that they're facing, they will also have to survive the building tension among the crew on the ship.
During this 1-on-1 phone interview with Collider, actress Katee Sackhoff (who is also a producer on the series) talked about how involved she got with every aspect of the series, having an idea of what the first three seasons would look like, the fast-paced shoot, how no character is safe, what she likes about playing Niko Breckinridge, when she knows that she's found the character that she's playing, the physicality of the role, working in such a confined space, the daunting task of showing the aliens on a sci-fi show, the similarities and differences from Battlestar Galactica, getting to be a part of the Star Wars universe by voicing a character for Star Wars: Clone Wars, returning for The Flash, and starting a YouTube channel.
Collider: This is a very intense show to watch. Was it an intense show to shoot?
KATEE SACKHOFF: It was a fear of mine, when we were filming, that it was so fast-paced that people wouldn't have a chance to breathe when they were watching it. So, that was intentionally done, but it far exceeded my expectations, in the pacing. It's a race car that never lets up.
When this project came your way, what was the pitch for the show and the character? What sold you on doing it?
SACKHOFF: Being a producer on the show gave me a really interesting perspective on it, in the sense that nothing was created when I came in. We had the outline of what the show was gonna be, but I was in the writers' room and I got to really put what I feel is my fingerprint on the show, which is something that I was really looking forward to. In the trajectory of my career, it was the next thing that I really wanted to participate in. It scared me, in the sense that this was a very young crew, which means that it was gonna be a very young cast. I grew up in the business, and I've always been the youngest person on set. Going from being the youngest person on set to being the oldest person on set was interesting for me. So, I knew pretty much everything that was going to happen, from the very beginning. It was just the execution, done by Aaron Martin and the rest of the writing staff, that was just phenomenal.
Were there a lot of conversations about where this show could go, how the show could continue and where the story could go next with, with more seasons?
SACKHOFF: Yeah, absolutely. Being in the pitch meeting with Netflix was one of the coolest things that I've ever done. Every one of the experiences that I've had on this show, as a producer is, has been one of the coolest experiences of my career, and I feel so blessed, but to have been in that pitch room, with Aaron and Noreen Halpern, with Halfire Entertainment, to pitch Netflix was very cool. So, we know where the show potentially will go for the first three seasons. As an actor, that was new for me. To really be a part of those conversations and to have an opinion was really cool.
It's one thing to know where things are going for the season, but it's another to actually be in it. What was it like to actually play out where things lead, by the end of this season, and what was your reaction to how all of this plays out?
SACKHOFF: You're so correct, it's one thing to know how things are going to go, on paper, but it's a completely different thing, as an actor, to actually be taking them there. That, for me, was really interesting. I had a lot of struggles with this character, throughout, because there are moments where, morally, you realize that, at her core, she is a soldier. That's part of why she was sent to lead this mission. She is unwavering in her ability to do what she was told to do, and stay on mission. What's so great about Niko is that the mission aligns with her heart, which is to protect her family, back home. She'll do anything to stay on mission and protect your family including sacrifice some crew members. Nobody is safe on this show. That's one of the things that Aaron, Noreen and I really wanted to hammer home, from the very beginning. Just because you think a crew member is gonna be there the whole time, that's absolutely probably not the case. Just when you fall in love with them, they're probably gonna die.
I really appreciated how we see that, from Episode 1, right off the bat.
SACKHOFF: Yeah, nobody is safe. When we were in the writers' room and coming up with ideas, the soma tubes were so important to me. As an actor and as a producer on the show, I just thought, what a phenomenal story piece and opportunity to have endless amounts of people that can come go. It just opens up your story more. It's no longer a crew of 10. It's potentially a crew of 10 times six. Even Niko is replaceable, that's what I love about it. There are more captains in soma sleep. If something happens to Niko, someone takes her place.
When you play a character like this, you really kind of have to be all in, from day one. What did you like about Niko and about playing her, from day one, and what did you kind of grow to appreciate about her, the longer you played her?
SACKHOFF: I know that I have found a character, as an actor ,when I start to dream as them. I kept saying to Aaron Martin, "I haven't found her yet. I haven't found her. I don't understand why she does the things that she does. I just don't get her." I was panicked because, not only am I the lead of the show, but I'm also a producer on the show, and I didn't know who my character was yet, on day one of filming, I was like, "This isn't good. This is really bad." And I found her two days before we started filming. I started dreaming of her and I realized, at that moment, that everything was gonna be okay. But there were things about her that I didn't get. I didn't understand why a mother would leave her child. I didn't get that. I had to reconcile, as a woman who's not a mother, that sometimes the best way to save your child is to leave them. That didn't make sense to me, so I wrestled with that a lot. I had to have that make sense to me. I had to put myself in the shoes of a mother, where you hear those stories of a mother who has to choose between a child, or they have to choose between their husband and their child, and they're put in these situations where they've got to make these incredibly difficult decisions, and they do it. That is who Niko is, and that was a hard thing for me to figure out.

WASHINGTON, USA (AFP) — The Organization of American States (OAS) said on Wednesday it was sending a high-level mission this week to help Haiti work towards new elections after its devastating earthquake.
|Albert Ramdin
The six-member OAS delegation, led by Assistant Secretary General Albert Ramdin, will visit Haiti from Thursday to Saturday at the request of the Haitian government, the 35-member bloc said in a statement.
"The mission will seek to engage the Haitian authorities and other important stakeholders in the country's electoral agenda," an OAS statement said.
Legislative polls, originally set for February and March, were postponed after the January 12 earthquake that demolished the capital Port-au-Prince, killing more than 220,000 people and leaving 1.3 million Haitians homeless.
"At this juncture and in light of the enormous recovery and reconstruction task ahead, it is critical to help Haiti ensure continuity in state affairs and to uphold the legitimacy of authorities emanating from the will of the people," Ramdin said.
Rene Preval, who also served as president from 1996 to 2001, is constitutionally barred from seeking a third mandate. His current term expires in February 2011 and presidential elections are expected in December.
OAS delegates will hold discussions with Preval, Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive, government ministers, election officials and representatives from across Haiti's political spectrum, private sector and civil society.
Ramdin, who attended a recent Haiti donors meeting in New York, said "these consultations will allow the OAS to better assist Haiti in the planning and preparation of elections, in concert with pertinent international partners."
MINUSTAH, the United Nations stabilization force which plays a major role in organizing and running elections in Haiti, was particularly badly hit by the quake and well over 100 UN personnel perished in the disaster.
The Caribbean nation — the poorest country in the western hemisphere — has had a long history of dictatorship followed by years of political turmoil and civil unrest.
In 2004, 1,000 US Marines followed by thousands of UN peacekeepers brought order to Haiti after a bloody rebellion against president Jean-Bertrand Aristide's rule. A provisional government was then installed.

Psalm 9B (10)
Lord, you have seen our trouble and our sorrow.
Rise up, Lord, raise your hand!
Do not forget the weak.
Why does the wicked man spurn God?
Because he says to himself, "you will not take revenge."
But you do see: you see the trouble and the pain,
and then you take things into your own hands.
The weak fall to your care,
and you are the help of the orphan.
Break the arms of the sinner and evil-doer:
seek out wickedness until there is no more to be found.
The Lord is King for ever and for ever.
The Gentiles have perished from his land.
You have heard the prayer of the weak, Lord,
and you will strengthen their hearts.
You will lend your ear to the pleas of the orphans and the helpless,
so mere mortals can frighten them no longer.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Lord, you have seen our trouble and our sorrow.
Ps 11:2-8

℣. Díriget Dóminus mansuétos in iudício.
℟. Docébit mites vias suas.
℣. The Lord guides his humble in the right path.
℟. He teaches his way to the poor.
1Cum comperísset Mardochǽus ómnia, quæ accíderant, scidit vestiménta sua et indútus est sacco spargens cínerem cápiti. Et in platéa médiæ civitátis voce magna et amára clamábat 2usque ad fores palátii grádiens; non enim erat lícitum indútum sacco aulam regis intráre. 3In ómnibus quoque provínciis, quocúmque edíctum et dogma regis pervénerat, planctus ingens erat apud Iudǽos, ieiúnium, ululátus et fletus, sacco et cínere multis pro strato uténtibus.
4Ingréssæ sunt autem puéllæ Esther et eunúchi nuntiaverúntque ei. Quod áudiens consternáta est valde et misit vestem, ut, abláto sacco, indúerent eum; quam accípere nóluit. 5Accitóque Athach eunúcho, quem rex minístrum ei déderat, prǽcépit ei, ut iret ad Mardochǽum et dísceret ab eo cur hoc fáceret. 6Egressúsque Athach ivit ad Mardochǽum stantem in platéa civitátis ante óstium palátii. 7Qui indicávit ei ómnia, quæ ei accíderant, quantum Aman promisísset, ut in thesáuros regis pro Iudæórum nece inférret argéntum. 8Exémplar quoque edícti, quod pendébat in Susan ad perdéndum eos, dedit ei, ut regínæ osténderet et monéret eam, ut intráret ad regem et deprecarétur eum et rogáret pro pópulo suo. 8a«Memor, inquit, diérum humilitátis tuæ, quando nutríta sis in manu mea, quia Aman secúndus a rege locútus est contra nos in mortem. Et tu ínvoca Dóminum et lóquere regi pro nobis et líbera nos de morte».
9Regréssus Athach nuntiávit Esther ómnia, quæ Mardochǽus díxerat. 10Quæ respóndit ei et iussit, ut díceret Mardochǽo: 11«Omnes servi regis et cunctæ, quæ sub dicióne eius sunt, norunt provínciæ, quod cuíque sive viro sive mulíeri, qui non vocátus intérius átrium regis intráverit, una lex sit, ut statim interficiátur, nisi forte rex áuream virgam ad eum teténderit, ut possit vívere; ego autem trigínta iam diébus non sum vocáta ad regem». 12Quod cum audísset Mardochǽus, 13rursum mandávit Esther dicens: «Ne putes quod ánimam tuam tantum líberes, quia in domo regis es, præ cunctis Iudǽis. 14Si enim nunc silúeris, aliúnde Iudǽis liberátio et salvátio exsúrget, et tu et domus patris tui períbitis; et quis novit utrum idcírco ad regnum véneris, ut in tali témpore pararéris?».
15Rursúmque Esther hæc Mardochǽo verba mandávit: 16«Vade et cóngrega omnes Iudǽos, qui in Susan reperiúntur; et ieiunáte pro me. Non comedátis et non bibátis tribus diébus et tribus nóctibus, et ego cum ancíllis meis simíliter ieiunábo; et tunc ingrédiar ad regem contra legem fáciens: si péreo, péreo». 17Ivit ítaque Mardochǽus et fecit ómnia, quæ ei Esther mandáverat.
Haman procures an order for the destruction of the Jews
When Mordecai learned what had happened, he tore his garments and put on sackcloth and ashes. Then he went right through the city, wailing loud and bitterly, until he arrived in front of the Chancellery, which no one clothed in sackcloth was allowed to enter. And in every province, no sooner had the royal edict been read than among the Jews there was great mourning, fasting, weeping and wailing, and many lay on sackcloth and ashes.
When Queen Esther's maids and eunuchs came and told her, she was overcome with grief. She sent clothes for Mordecai to put on instead of his sackcloth, but he refused them. Then Esther summoned Hathach, a eunuch whom the king had appointed to wait on her, and ordered him to go to Mordecai and enquire what was the matter and why he was acting in this way.
Hathach went out to Mordecai, who was still in the city square in front of the Chancellery, and Mordecai told him what had happened to him personally, and also about the sum of money which Haman had offered to pay into the royal treasury as compensation for the destruction of the Jews. He also gave him a copy of the edict of extermination published in Susa for him to show Esther for her information, with the message that she was to go to the king and implore his favour and plead with him for her people. 'Remember your humbler circumstances,' he said 'when you were fed by my hand. Since Haman, the second person in the realm, has petitioned the king for our deaths, invoke the Lord, speak to the king for us and save us from death!'
Hathach came back and told Esther what Mordecai had said; and she replied with the following message for Mordecai, 'All the king's servants and the people of his provinces know that for a man or woman who approaches the king in the inner court without being summoned there is one penalty: death, unless, by pointing his golden sceptre towards him, the king grants him his life. And I have not been summoned to the king for the last thirty days.'
These words of Esther were reported to Mordecai, who sent back the following reply, 'Do not suppose that, because you are in the king's palace, you are going to be the one Jew to escape. No; if you persist in remaining silent at such a time, relief and deliverance will come to the Jews from another place, but both you and the House of your father will perish. Who knows? Perhaps you have come to the throne for just such a time as this.'
Whereupon Esther sent this reply to Mordecai, 'Go and assemble all the Jews now in Susa and fast for me. Do not eat or drink day or night for three days. For my part, I and my maids will keep the same fast, after which I shall go to the king in spite of the law; and if I perish, I perish.' Mordecai went away and carried out Esther's instructions.
℟. Spem in álium numquam hábui, prætérquam in te, Deus Israel;* Qui irascéris et propítius eris et ómnia peccáta hóminum in tribulatióne dimíttis.
℣. Dómine Deus, creátor cæli et terræ, réspice ad humilitátem nostram.* Qui irascéris.
℟. Never have I relied on anyone but you alone, O God of Israel.* Even though you be angry, yet will you be merciful and forgive the offences of those who suffer misfortune.
℣. Lord God of heaven and earth, relieve our distress.* Even though you be angry, yet will you be merciful and forgive the offences of those who suffer misfortune.
De oratione dominica
Nobis verba necessária sunt, quibus commoneámur et inspiciámus quid petámus, non quibus Dóminum seu docéndum seu flecténdum esse credámus.
Cum ergo dícimus: Sanctificétur nomen tuum, nos admonémus desideráre ut nomen eius, quod semper sanctum est, étiam apud hómines sanctum habeátur, hoc est non contemnátur; quod non Deo, sed homínibus prodest.
Et in eo quod dícimus: Advéniat regnum tuum, quod, seu velímus seu nolímus, útique véniet, desidérium nostrum ad illud regnum excitámus, ut nobis véniat atque in eo regnáre mereámur.
Cum dícimus: Fiat volúntas tua sicut in cælo et in terra, nobis ab illo precámur ipsam obœdiéntiam, ut sic in nobis fiat volúntas eius, quemádmodum fit in cæléstibus ab ángelis eius.
Cum dícimus: Panem nostrum cotidiánum da nobis hódie, per id quod dícitur hódie, significátur hoc témpore; ubi vel sufficiéntiam illam pétimus a parte quæ excéllit, id est nómine panis totam significántes; vel sacraméntum fidélium, quod in hoc témpore necessárium est, non tamen ad huius témporis, sed ad illam ætérnam felicitátem assequéndam.
Cum dícimus: Dimítte nobis débita nostra, sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris, nos admonémus et quid petámus et quid faciámus, ut accípere mereámur.
Cum dícimus: Ne nos ínferas in tentatiónem, nos admonémus hoc pétere, ne desérti eius adiutório alícui tentatióni vel consentiámus decépti vel cedámus afflícti.
Cum dícimus: Líbera nos a malo, nos admonémus cogitáre nondum nos esse in eo bono ubi nullum patiémur malum. Et hoc quidem últimum quod in oratióne domínica pósitum est, tam late patet, ut homo christiánus in quálibet tribulatióne constitútus in hoc gémitus edat, in hoc lácrimas fundat, hinc exordiátur, in hoc immorétur, ad hoc términet oratiónem. His enim verbis res ipsas memóriæ nostræ commendári oportébat.
Nam quǽlibet ália verba dicámus, quæ afféctus orántis vel præcedéndo format ut cláreat, vel consequéndo atténdit ut crescat; nihil áliud dícimus quam quod in ista domínica oratióne pósitum est, si recte et congruénter orámus. Quisquis autem, id dicit quod ad istam evangélicam precem pertinére non possit, etiámsi non illícite orat, carnáliter orat; quod néscio quemádmodum non dicátur illícite, quandóquidem Spíritu renátos nónnisi spiritáliter decet oráre.
On the Lord's Prayer
We need to use words so that we may remind ourselves to consider carefully what we are asking, not so that we may think we can instruct the Lord or prevail on him.
Thus, when we say: Hallowed be your name, we are reminding ourselves to desire that his name, which in fact is always holy, should also be considered holy among men. I mean that it should not be held in contempt. But this is a help for men, not for God.
And as for our saying: Your kingdom come, it will surely come whether we will it or not. But we are stirring up our desires for the kingdom so that it can come to us and we can deserve to reign there.
When we say: Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven, we are asking him to make us obedient so that his will may be done in us as it is done in heaven by his angels.
When we say: Give us this day our daily bread, in saying this day we mean "in this world." Here we ask for a sufficiency by specifying the most important part of it; that is, we use the word "bread" to stand for everything. Or else we are asking for the sacrament of the faithful, which is necessary in this world, not to gain temporal happiness but to gain the happiness that is everlasting.
When we say: Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, we are reminding ourselves of what we must ask and what we must do in order to be worthy in turn to receive.
When we say: Lead us not into temptation, we are reminding ourselves to ask that his help may not depart from us; otherwise we could be seduced and consent to some temptation, or despair and yield to it.
When we say: Deliver us from evil, we are reminding ourselves to reflect on the fact that we do not yet enjoy the state of blessedness in which we shall suffer no evil. This is the final petition contained in the Lord's Prayer, and it has a wide application. In this petition the Christian can utter his cries of sorrow, in it he can shed his tears, and through it he can begin, continue and conclude his prayer, whatever the distress in which he finds himself. Yes, it was very appropriate that all these truths should be entrusted to us to remember in these very words.
Whatever be the other words we may prefer to say (words which the one praying chooses so that his disposition may become clearer to himself or which he simply adopts so that his disposition may be intensified), we say nothing that is not contained in the Lord's Prayer, provided of course we are praying in a correct and proper way. But if anyone says something which is incompatible with this prayer of the Gospel, he is praying in the flesh, even if he is not praying sinfully. And yet I do not know how this could be termed anything but sinful, since those who are born again through the Spirit ought to pray only in the Spirit.
℟. Exáudiat Dóminus oratiónes vestras et reconciliétur vobis,* Nec vos déserat in témpore malo Dóminus Deus vester.
℣. Det vobis cor ómnibus, ut colátis eum et faciátis eius voluntátem.* Nec vos.
℟. May the Lord hear your prayers and be reconciled to you.* May the Lord our God not abandon you in time of evil.
℣. May he give you all a heart to worship him and do his will.* May the Lord our God not abandon you in time of evil.
Omnípotens sempitérne Deus, fac nos tibi semper et devótam gérere voluntátem et maiestáti tuæ sincéro corde servíre.
Per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum,
qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus,
per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
Let us pray.
Almighty, ever-living God,
make us ever obey you willingly and promptly.
Teach us how to serve you
with sincere and upright hearts
in every sphere of life.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Benedicámus Dómino.
– Deo grátias.
Let us praise the Lord.
– Thanks be to God.

text: Wellness Health & Well-being Social Media Use Linked to Depression in Teens, Study Finds By Katherine Martinko Senior Writer University of Toronto Katherine Martinko is a writer and expert in sustainable living. She holds a degree in English Literature and History from the University of Toronto. our editorial process Twitter Twitter Katherine Martinko Updated July 19, 2019 Sharon McCutcheon / Unsplash.com Share Twitter Pinterest Email Wellness Health & Well-being Clean Beauty But video games are surprisingly OK, making teens feel happier. A new study has confirmed what many of us already suspect – that prolonged time spent on social media increases depression in adolescents. Published in July 2019 in The Journal of the American Medical Association Pediatrics, the study from the University of Montreal, found that, out of four kinds of screen time – video gaming, television, computer use, and social media – the latter has the most negative effect, followed by television consumption. The study followed approximately 4,000 students from 31 schools in the Montreal area over a period of four years, from grade 7 to grade 11. The participants self-reported the amount of time they spent on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, played video games, watched TV, and hung out on computers. The average amount of time spent on screens was 6-7 hours per day. Lead study author Patricia Conrad, a professor of psychiatry, explained: "What we found over and over was that the effects of social media were much larger than any of the other effects for the other types of digital screen time." Her reason for it? "It exposes young people to images that promote upward social comparison and makes them feel bad about themselves." The teen years are challenging enough, with significant physical and hormonal changes happening to their growing bodies. Add to that the pressure created by social media to meet unrealistic beauty standards maintain a lavish lifestyle like the ones exhibited by celebrities and influencers, and the pressure to avoid judgment from others. Suddenly it's not surprising that young people are struggling with self-esteem and happiness. Young people who are already prone to depression exacerbate their symptoms through social media use, partly because of the information they choose to consume, e.g. blog posts about self-esteem issues: "[This] in line with a study showing that the lower adolescents' mood level, the less positive media content they select." Curiously, video games were found to be a positive influence, making teens feel happier. The CBC reported, "The study suggests the average gamer is not socially isolated, with more than 70 percent of gamers playing with other people either online or in-person." What's clearly needed is greater education surrounding the smart use of social media. Good 'digital citizenship' is something that co-author Elroy Boers would like to see taught in schools, as knowledge about when and what to post online is lacking. The authors say there has been little research into the effects of social media on adolescent wellbeing, as it's a relatively new phenomenon, and that it's likely the risks are greater than we realize at this point in time. Parents, doctors, and educators would do well to inform themselves and to regulate teens' use of screens to reduce depression.
