Dan Savage's Hump Festival
After seeing this show last weekend and squirming in my seat — you really should be in your own cubicle watching this so you can take care of business — I spent the night split between laughter and erections. Now it's Victoria's turn as the festival features short dirty movies, each less than five minutes, all created by people who aren't porn stars but want to be one for a weekend. One night only but three shows available.

Hershe Bar
If I were a lesbian I would probably know who Kiyomi Valentine is. I looked her up and found she's from The Real L Word and the founder of the alt rock band Hunter Valentine, so I still don't know who she is. But seeing her picture, I know that Flygirl is going to be packed tonight. For those of you who have closed your eyes and dreamt of Kiyomi singing to you over that constant hum — what is that? — then get ready for her intimate and unplugged performance from 9:30–10:30pm, followed by the party that Flygirl is known for.

Not only are DJs GingerBear and Mike Sniffen teaming up, but from out of the closet they have dusted him off for a blast form the past: Mr Ruff 2014, Glenn, will be performing along with Mr Ruff 2016 Shane and runner–up Jesse, and don't miss the debut of Pup Powder.

That jewel on Davie Street, where you can meet the preppy boy of your dreams and have a cocktail that will knock you on your ass, and have it served to you by a bartending god, is bringing you a new Monday night where "World + Grime + Dancehall = a lot of fun."

The Art of Coming Out
I remember when I came out I was 16 and I got caught with a naked guy in the back seat of my dad's car, parked in the garage. I said casually, "Oh, this is my boyfriend Rick." Needless to say Rick made a beeline for home leaving his boxers behind, while I got the lecture about God is watching me. (It didn't really ring true as my parents hadn't been to church since they got married, and plus at 16 I was already 6'6 and they were both under 5'10.) The purpose of tonight's event is to address the issues and social stigmas that individuals may face during their coming-out process. Listen to Michael Chutskoff's story of personal struggle and his attempts to find acceptance, and how he overcame those struggles. This is also an amazing opportunity to meet new people, as there is a social aspect to this event, so perfect for those struggling to be accepted.

Syphilis 101
Many years ago I remember when my dad wanted to sit down and have "the talk" — the one all my friends had already had about erections, women's parts and all that stuff. He started off fine then said we needed to talk about "S" and my mind was racing as I thought he was going to talk about actual sex so I would know what to do. You have to know my dad was in the army for quite a few years, so in fact the "S" talk was not about sex but syphilis. The way he explained it, I had nightmares for weeks about sleeping with a woman, getting syphilis and then my dick falling off. These days all you have to do is go to HIM and get the real facts at Syphilis 101: what is it, how do I get it, how do I get rid of it. Join the nurse for this informative workshop, which will address myths, doubts and health questions you may have but never had the opportunity to ask.
7–8:30pm. Health Initiative for Men (HIM) office, 310-1033 Davie St. Please call to register for this free workshop at 604-488-1001. checkhimout.ca
Backside Love

Creative Kissing
Well, this week I have covered everything from backside love, to syphilis, to massage and coming out, so naturally I have saved the best for last. How many of you have anticipated that first kiss and dreamt it would be hard, forceful, loving and yes, probing? Then it ends up like having an overcooked noodle shoved in your mouth, let alone any other orifice? Don't be shy, just man-up and take your partner to this two-hour class on the intricacies of making that first kiss signal the body to open wide. Man or woman, everyone can learn and all are welcome.
7:30–9:30pm. The Art of Loving, 369 W Broadway St. Cost $49 per couple at artofloving.ca

- 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into 1-inch florets (about 6 cups)
- 1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Step 1: Prep the cauliflower
First, preheat your oven to 425°F. Then, add the cauliflower florets to a food processor and pulse until finely ground. To get a good texture, be sure to process the florets in batches, about 2 cups at a time. Add the ground cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 8 minutes, or until tender.
Once the cauliflower has cooled enough to touch, wrap the ground cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze until it's as dry as possible. No one likes soggy pizza crust! When it's nice and dry, transfer back into the bowl.
Step 2: Mix the "dough"
Add the cheeses, egg and spices to the bowl of cauliflower. Mix until completely combined.
Step 3: Shape and bake
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Then, shape the cauliflower dough into an 11×9-in. rectangle. Pop in your preheated oven for about 20-22 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is just set.
Pro tip: If you're looking for a crispier crust, then line your pan with aluminum foil instead of parchment paper. Just be sure to keep an eye on it to avoid burning the edges. You can also flip your crust after its first trip in the oven.
Step 4: Add toppings and bake some more
Top the crust with your favorite pizza sauce, cheeses and fixings. Then, put it back into the oven and bake until the cheese is nice and melty, about 10-12 minutes. If you're topping with any meats, like Italian sausage or bacon, be sure they're fully cooked before adding them to your pizza.
Step 5: Slice and serve
Allow the pizza to cool slightly, then cut into slices. Serve with a nice side salad and dig into this flour-free masterpiece!

China regulators have taken over Anbang Insurance Group for at least one year. Anbang Chairman Wu Xiaohui was detained by authorities last year and will now face fraud and embezzlement charges. Anbang's success was fueled by aggressive sales of high-yield products, but officials have recently been trying to crack down on the sale of risky and leveraged investments. Wu's arrest also seems to fit in with President Xi's anti-corruption drive.
RBI minutes from this month's meeting were more hawkish than expected. With inflation running above 5%, officials fretted that the 2-6% target band will be breached as fiscal policy runs too hot. One member of the MPC noted that "Fixed income markets are telling us that we have fallen behind the curve." Next policy meeting is April 5 and markets should start preparing for a possible rate hike then.
The RBI is reportedly reviewing its process for allowing local companies to issue debt overseas. The bank is apparently concerned that future FX movements may hurt these companies' ability to repay their external debt obligations. The RBI is also looking more closely at the hedging practices of borrowers. Observers said that the new process has resulted in slower approvals for external debt issuance in recent weeks.
Effective June 1, IDR-denominated debt becomes eligible for the Barclays Global Aggregate Index. Fifty IDR-denominated government bonds totaling $151.3 bln in market value will enter the Global Aggregate and Global Treasury universes in early May and will contribute to index returns starting June 1.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is coming under increasing pressure. Israeli police arrested several of Netanyahu's friends and aides in a widening corruption investigation. One of those arrested subsequently agreed to become a government witness. This comes after reports that one of Netanyahu's closest advisers sought to bribe a judge into dropping a criminal investigation involving his wife.
South Africa
South African corporates will be impacted by new eligibility rules for the Barclays Global Aggregate Index effective May 1. If the local sovereign debt is not eligible for the index, then no other securities denominated in that currency will be eligible regardless of their ratings. As a result, 32 government-related and corporate bonds ($7.5 bln in market value) denominated in ZAR will be removed from the Global Aggregate Index in early April and will not contribute to May index performance.
South African Finance Minister Gigaba announced fiscal tightening in the first budget under President Ramaphosa. Key takeaways from South Africa's budget statement: 1) VAT will be raised one percentage point to 15%, 2) other measures will impact income and estate taxes, 3) spending will be cut ZAR85 bln over next three years, 4) growth forecasts were raised modestly, and 5) deficit forecast for FY2018/19 cut to -3.6% of GDP from -3.9% previously. Bottom line: we think it buys some time but a downgrade from Moody's still seems likely this year.
Moody's cut the outlook on Colombia's Baa2 rating from stable to negative. The agency cited a deteriorating fiscal outlook and risks that the next government won't be able to limit its borrowing. Our own sovereign ratings model showed Colombia's implied rating falling a notch this quarter to BBB-/Baa3/BBB-. This supports S&P's recent downgrade to BBB-, and suggests pressure on Moody's and Fitch's ratings of Baa2 and BBB, respectively.
Mexico presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) appears to have softened his stance on the controversial oil sector reforms of 2013. Those reforms opened up Mexico's energy sector to private investment, and AMLO has threatened to reverse them. Now, advisor Alfonso Romo said AMLO has reviewed most of the oil tenders awarded and found them to be beneficial for Mexico. He added that the auctions were found to be well-executed and transparent.
Venezuela launched an oil-backed cryptocurrency called the petro. The deal was first announced in December. Details remain sketchy, but (at least for now) a petro is meant to represent a claim of some sort on Venezuelan crude oil. We think this is just a gimmick that cashes in on the current crypto craze, aims to circumvent existing sanctions, and avoids addressing the nation's deep structural problems.

Enforcing Animal Welfare Statutes: In Many States, It's Still the Wild WestSan Joaquin Agricultural Law Review (2012)
AbstractAuthority to enforce animal welfare laws has been delegated to private citizens involved with humane organizations since the 1880s when the majority of those statutes were originally passed. Currently, over half of the states and the District of Columbia grant some form of law enforcement power to members or officers of humane societies. The authority ranges from the power to arrest to the ability to seize and destroy private property. In some cases it includes the right to carry a firearm-- even, in one state, as a convicted felon-- while engaging in law enforcement activities. After a brief history of the statutory scheme, this paper will discuss the states that delegate authority to private citizens involved in humane societies, the specific authority that is given to these individuals, and an overview of the liability concerns that may present themselves as a result of the delegation.

Audi has announced plans to begin testing the A1 e-Tron next year. To do this, they have teamed up with E.ON, Stadtwerke München and the Technical University of Munich.
Audi has teamed up with E.ON, Stadtwerke München and the Technical University of Munich to begin testing a fleet of twenty A1 e-Trons starting next year.
As part of the agreement, E.ON and Stadtwerke München (both utility companies) will install 100 electric filling stations across Munich. The Technical University of Munich will be "...responsible for comprehensive data collection and evaluation of mobility behavior." To do this, they have developed a mobile phone app that will document the behavior of all participants in the program.
According to Rupert Stadler, Chairman of the Board of Management at Audi, "Electromobility means more to us than just electrifying conventional cars. Instead we are dedicated to a holistic approach to all aspects of the topic. We hope that this fleet trial will enable us to gain broad insights into the behavior but also the expectations of our customers regarding their dealings with electric cars."
As you may recall, the A1 e-Tron is a range extended plug-in hybrid like the Chevrolet Volt. It features a 75 kW (102 PS / 101 hp) electric motor which enables to the car to travel up to 50 kilometers (31 miles) on electricity alone. When the lithium-ion batteries are depleted, a compact internal combustion engine recharges them. This allows the car to travel an additional 200 kilometers (124 miles). While official efficiency data hasn't been determined, Audi expects a fuel consumption rating of 1.9 l/100 km (123.80 mpg) and CO2 emissions of 45 g/km (72 g/mile).

Delhi government 'defers' odd-even, says will 'consider' if NGT grants exemptions
The government said it will move the NGT on Monday requesting a review of its order and if the exemptions are granted, the scheme's implementation "will be considered".
Published: 11th November 2017 08:43 PM | Last Updated: 11th November 2017 08:55 PM | A+A A-
NEW DELHI: The odd-even scheme is not returning to Delhi on Monday, the Delhi government said today, expressing its inability to enforce the measure after the National Green Tribunal ordered the withdrawal of exemptions given to women and two-wheelers.
The government said it will move the NGT on Monday requesting a review of its order and if the exemptions are granted, the scheme's implementation "will be considered".
After a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot announced that the measure, which was to be implemented between November 13 and 17, was being "called off" as the number of buses were inadequate and women's safety could not be compromised.
In a statement, the government later said that it has decided to "defer" its implementation. Gahlot said the authorities are ready to roll it out immediately if the exemptions are granted.
The NGT, which gave a conditional nod to the scheme, said that it should be implemented as and when PM (particulate matter) 10 level goes above 500 micrograms per cubic metre and PM 2.5 level crosses the limit of 300 micrograms per cubic metre and persist for 48 hours at a stretch.
At around 3.30 pm, Environment Minister Imran Hussain said the levels of PM2.5 and PM10 had also dropped. But by evening, the pollution was back to 'emergency' levels and a thick haze descended on the city.
The Centre-run monitoring agency SAFAR (System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting And Research) attributed the rise in pollution to the lowering of the "boundary layer" keeping pollutants trapped near the surface and preventing their escape into the upper layer of the atmosphere.
"There is no likelihood of last week's repeat as there is no fresh influx of pollutants from external sources such as stubble burning or dust storm in the larger region. But recovery will get delayed by at least one more day," SAFAR project director Gufran Beig told PTI.
The hourly graph of the Central Control Room for Air Quality Management run by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) also captured the sudden change in the air quality.
The concentration of PM2.5 and PM10 hovered around 490 and 290 micrograms per cubic metre during the morning hours, marginally below the emergency limit of 500 and 300.
But by 6 pm, the readings had changed to 522 and 332. In fact, the improvement in the air quality made during the day started diminishing from around 2 pm itself.
The corresponding safe standards are 60 and 100 and prolonged exposure to anything beyond that is considered hazardous to human health as these particulates, measuring up to 30 times finer than the width of a human hair, can enter the respiratory system and settle deep in the lungs and also enter the bloodstream.
The CPCB's air quality index for the day (based on pollution levels till 5 pm) had a score of 403, as against yesterday's 468.
Beig said the drop in both the minimum and maximum temperatures led to the coming down of the boundary layer from around 1600 metres from the surface at 11 am to 50 metres at 5 pm.
According to the weather office, the maximum and minimum temperatures were 12.6 and 28.3 degrees Celsius respectively.
The minimum was a notch below the season's average, it said.
Earlier this week, the Delhi government had announced implementation of the odd-even scheme from November 13 to 17, given the high level of smog in the capital. Schools were also shutdown till Sunday.
The car-rationing scheme was enforced twice in the national capital in 2016 with the two exemptions which were today struck down by the NGT.
Under the policy, private vehicles are allowed to run based on the last number of their license plates.
Odd-numbered cars are allowed to run on odd dates while even-numbered cars can only run on even dates.
Yesterday, AAP's Delhi unit convenor and Labour Minister Gopal Rai had strongly defended the scheme, terming vehicular pollution as the biggest source of ultrafine particulate matters measuring less than 2.5 microns.
A landmark IIT-Kanpur study, which covered the period 2013-14, has said that during winters, vehicles are the second largest and the "most consistent" contributing source of pollutants PM10 and PM2.5.
In terms of percentage, it comes to around 20-25 per cent during winters, the report says. The contribution of road dust is negligible during the colder months unlike summers when it plays a bigger role.
However, the share of two-wheelers, three-wheelers, four-wheelers, trucks and light commercial vehicles in the total vehicular contribution shows that trucks and two- wheelers are the major polluters.
According to the study, which was commissioned by the Sheila Dikshit government, the share of four-wheelers in the break up of vehicular contribution is 10 per cent each in cases of both PM2.5 and PM10.
On the other hand, the share of trucks and two-wheelers stands at around 46 per cent and 33 per cent respectively.

Summary Parks exists mainly of living materials and change continually. Throughout the history of landscape architecture, gardens have been redesigned after personal needs and preferences. After becoming a public responsibility the parks have been modified to apply the needs of the public and to meet the ideals of parkdesign and urban planning. Some parks nevertheless have survived hundreds of years hardly with any morphological changes and are representing important cultural heritage. All parks, regardless of their character and location needs maintenance, moreover it is sometimes necessary to pursue more comprehensive strategies. Pour maintenance or heavy usage may be reasons for this, but there is also a responsibility to restore historical values, and to modify parks in order for the public to have better use of them. The urban landscape is complex and highly dynamic, it is therefore important of purpose reasons, that management and planning of parks is continually updated. This has of course been the idea as long as park management has been a public responsibility. But the ambitions and professional level have at times been very questionable. The approximation methods have therefore been reflecting a somewhat random and inconsequent practice. In light of this, my ambition for this thesis has been to bring forth different motives of park renewal, how we organize, and how we apply parkrenewal as a strategy on different parks. The empirical research is mainly based on three examples of park renewals, two in Norway and one from Denmark. Interviews of people that are involved in these projects have been the basic method to gather information. These people also contributed with written documentation. There has also been used supplemental documentation. The purpose of using this method has been to present actual situations and challenges that occur throughout park renewal projects. The result shows that parks with historical values often are prioritized over cultivated parks, though this does not necessarily mean more professional care. Social and cultural changes develop new needs and changed use of urban parks. Therefore the ambition level for these kinds of parks seems to rise. Competence, interests and ambition level very between different contributors. Project where several contributors are involved therefore tend to be unpredictable, with a risk of loosing purpose. All experience proves that the financial support of park management has been too low. In attempt of saving money, the need for more costly park renewals increases. There has been used a lot of time and resources in attempt to improve the public park management, apparently more than the parks themselves.

I can't vouch for these products as I haven't tried them. I will however promote their offerings to you. Why? Because I believe we are all individuals requiring different intakes and exercise regimes to maintain a balanced and fit body and the results from any recommended diet will vary. I will also throw a few Exante Diet discount codes your way to allow you to trial their range at a lesser cost.
Firstly about me. Some people require motivational aids, videos, classes or the gym to lose weight, let's face it food is dressed up and looks appetising once prepared and on the shelf at a supermarket or on the menu in a restaurant. We fall for good looking food that perhaps has a ton of sugar and salt in which takes a year of running to burn off. We are only human. I on the other hand did the following for six months.
Stopped drinking beer, stopped smoking, jogged for 45 minutes three times a week, ate fruit and yoghurt in the morning, five veg and tuna for lunch and ice cream and fruit for dinner. Every day for 180 days! I lost five stone in six months. But I was in love, that's motivation. If you're stuck in a 9 to 5 job, miserable and like your pizzas and ice cream to make you happy, then you definitely need something like the Exante Diet.
This online meal replacement diet company makes changing from your sugar and fat laden food much easier to do. It took me some time to reduce that lunchtime plate of pork pie, scotch egg, chicken, salad dressing to five raw veg and tuna. It didn't happen on the first day. With Exante Diet voucher codes the entry cost is lower and you will be astounded by the lesser calorie intake and lack of motivation or will power required to stay on it.
Just look at the website. Forget all the information about dieting at first look, as it will be mind blowing and simply navigate straight to the shop. Then click on the individual products such as Banana Shake, Pasta Carbonara, Thai chicken soup, Exante Diet Gooey Chocolate Pudding and the diet pizza mix and tell me you don't ooze and moan for the pleasure of these arriving on your doorstep!
Active Exante Diet Voucher Codes And Promos

*See site for terms and conditions.
While I lost five stone, I did put some back on – it happens, life happens. But imagine if I had taken a longer term view of simple weight loss with a meal replacement diet instead. Perhaps I'd have lost the other three stone I wish to lose a lot earlier.
After looking through more of the meal options, weigh up the costs against your weekly shop. I'm pretty sure it should work out cheaper and in the rare instance that it doesn't, look at it as an investment to a fitter and brighter future. Your current fat addled body is less likely to succumb to an heart attack if you shed the several stone hanging from your bony frame.
The website states that "Exante is a total meal replacement based on very low calorie or a low calorie diet consisting of varied meals, shakes, bars and soups that provide 100% of your recommended daily intake of minerals and vitamins while allowing for a calorie shortfall." I can't argue with that, they have done all the measuring for you.
One last thing before we get to the wealth of information on offer to their customers, view above for the latest Exante Diet voucher codes and you'll see that even as a fully signed up customer, you can benefit from regular promotional offers and deals. That's key to keeping you on board, but honestly if the meal replacement diet is working for you, the weight machine and reflection in the mirror will tell its own story.
Dieting isn't rocket science, so don't let all the mumbo jumbo fool you. If you're eating 2500 calories a day while sitting down 9 to 5 at a desk, you are going to put on weight. Naturally if you only consume 1500 calories a day, you're going to halt that and begin to lose some. This is what they offer, the chance to measure your intake with attractive desirable food delivered to your door.
I'm not going to sit here and write about all their free delivery options (well I might later) or repeat the advice and info on their website, because there is tonnes of it. From support groups, forum, interaction with others, you'll be constantly motivated to achieve your weight loss aims. And the Exante Diet voucher codes will certainly assist in that process.
They also realise that no two of their customers have the same DNA. Which is why they offer several diets which you can choose from. Personally, I'd go to the doctor first and get a few suggestions, you can even take tests on your metabolism and the exercise you should take to aid in losing weight while partaking in this meal replacement diet.
So read their blog, read the reviews and success stories and have a look at the variety of meal replacement diets that they recommend. Browse the Exante Diet shop for all the wonderful calorie counted goodies and read all the gumph in the how to section. Then save Squillions with your Exantediet discount codes April 2020.
Remember I lost five stone in six months as had my own motivation. I ate boring uncooked fresh veg daily with a helping of tuna, and morning and evening treats of low fat ice cream and yoghurt and as much low calorie fruit as I wanted when hungry. All while jogging 45 minutes three times a week for six months. I am pretty sure that if you exercise and follow their meal replacement diet plans that you can lose weight too but remember, we are all made different and motivation is key to success.

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Viactiv Calcium Soft Chews. All opinions are 100% mine.
In my experience, pregnancy is such a wonderful time in a women's life. For one thing, a little bundle of joy is growing day by day inside of us. Yet, there is so much to do, research, and stay up to date with. That's why, I want to remind you that calcium is particularly important for pregnant women. In reality, calcium is an important supplement for any stage of a women's life. Viactiv has 30% more calcium with half the sugar and calories compared to leading gummy supplements. Also, there is delicious milk chocolate and caramel flavors to chose from! Without a doubt, your body will thank you in the long run for the adequare consumption of supplements.
The Importance of Calcium during Pregnancy
- 9 out of 10 OB/GYNs recommend Viactiv Calcium Soft Chews during pregnancy*.
- Your baby needs calcium to build healthy teeth, bones, muscles, and heart.
- Meeting your daily calcium requirements is important throughout all stages of life! Especially, if you are planning to breastfeed.
- Adequate intake of calcium will prevent your body from taking calcium from your bones reducing your risk of osteoporosis.

Restaurant Review Casa Malevo Connaught Village
PUBLISHED: 15:35 29 July 2019 | UPDATED: 13:30 08 August 2019
The new chef at Connaught Village restaurant brilliantly fuses his native Argentinian cuisine with flavours and techniques from around the world
Walk amid the bubbling shish pipes of Edgware Road, past the exclusive Georgian grandeur of Connaught Square and you arrive at a quiet corner of W2.
Also named after the Earl who once had a house here, Connaught Village is home to a row of independent shops and restaurants such as the intimate and homely Casa Malevo.
Here, new head chef Jose Cacciavillani has taken the menu up several notches of refinement fusing his native Argentinian cuisine with techniques and flavours from the Med and Asia.
Traditional dishes like pressed pinapple and pork get a complimentary injection of flavour - a Korean tinged sauce that explodes a sweet and sour bomb in your mouth.
You may also want to watch:
The famously carnivorous diet has even embraced vegan options, although the meltingly-soft impeccably cooked prime fillet here made us realise that giving up meat wasn't a durable option.
Cacciavillani, who started cooking aged eight at his mother's knee, has worked with the Roca brothers and Pratap Chahal and the refinement of dazzling dishes such as fatty veal sweetbreads cut with lemon oil and cucumber, or the chickpea crumble that dusted a perfect duo of chcolate desserts or the genius black olive cracker that accompanied a sous vide octopus with a smooth sauce vierge and chargrilled prawn owe something to their inventive attention to detail.
Elsewhere a chewy provolone was drizzled with wild garlic oil and topped with walnuts, sesame crackers and a maple sauce, hake came with an escabeche, and that gorgeous fillet with a deeply flavoured red chimichurri dip.
All this and knowledgable attentive service, a relaxed vibe and mean cocktails of the mojito or campari variety - mine was a pisco sour that truly lived up to its name. There's also a good wine list with approachable wines by the carafe.
The Earl of Connaught would have approved.

The Central Connecticut women's basketball team came up short at Stony Brook 60-55 on Sunday inside Island Federal Credit Union Arena. The Blue Devils saw three players in double figure scoring led by junior Andi Lydon with 14 points and added seven rebounds and three steals. Junior Kiana Patterson posted 13 points and CCSU knocked down six three-pointers in the game.
Stony Brook (7-4) out-rebounded the Blue Devils (0-10) 49-28 including 22 offensive boards and registered 38 points in the paint. CCSU shot 18-of-54 (.333) and the Seawolves struggled from behind the arc, hitting just 2-of-19 (.105)
The first half of Sunday afternoon's contest featured 10 lead changes between CCSU and Stony Brook. In the first quarter the Blue Devils went on an 11-5 run that was ignited from graduate student Morgan Johnson's 3-for-3 effort from the charity stripe after getting fouled on a three-pointer. The Blue Devils led 19-16 at the end of the first quarter.
The Blue Devils held Stony Brook to just 32 points, the least points allowed by an opponent in the first half all season. CCSU trailed by three 32-29 at the break.
CCSU connected on three trifectas in the opening half and Patterson paced the team in points with 11. Stony Brook, who averages 5.7 more rebounds than its opponents per 40 minutes, used their athleticism and size to hold a 24-11 advantage on the boards at the break.
After SBU opened the third quarter on a 4-0 run, junior Sydney Hines gave the Blue Devils a jolt at with a 6-0 run herself. Hines converted the old fashioned three-point play at the 7:11 mark in the third, and then knocked down a right-wing three on the following possession.
The Blue Devils out-scored SBU 14-13 in the final period including a pair of clutch three-pointers from Johnson and Hines, but was unable to close the gap past four points in the closing minutes.
Cheyenne Clark of Stony Brook notched a double-double with 14 points and 15 rebounds, 11 of which were offensive. India Pagan chipped in 11 points.
Johnson didn't miss a shot during the game and finished with a mark in every scoring column: six points, three rebounds, three assists, and one block and steal. Hines ended the day with a season-high 11 points and three steals.
The Central Connecticut women's basketball team will conclude its 2017-18 non-conference slate on Thursday, Dec. 22 on the road at Vermont. The Blue Devils will face off against the Catamounts inside Patrick Gymnasium at 11:00 a.m. on ESPN 3.

New Products
REMU, the Finnish company that makes earthmoving products, now offers the third model in its E-Series amphibious excavators, Big Float E15, for 10-15-ton excavators.
The E-Series models' reliability, quality and easy serviceability make it the equipment of choice for some of the world's biggest wetland construction contractors. Working long hours in ultra-challenging shoreline and swamp conditions, contractors demand ultra-reliability, as well as quick, efficient transport that keeps productivity at peak by saving time, money, and manhours.
Among Big Float's most unique and notable features, and available options are:
- A pontoon undercarriage that can be hydraulically adjusted offers optimal stability in both narrow channels and waterways, as well as deepwater; and vast savings in time, money and manhours during transport. Quickly adjusted to a width as narrow as 3.0 meters, depending on model—versus competitors' equipment with a width almost twice that size—Big Float pontoon models can fit on a single truck for transport and don't have to be disassembled before transport or reassembled afterward.
- Customers can choose to mount any excavator brand on top of the Big Float pontoons or undercarriage.
- REMU designed Big Float to provide rock-solid stability and reliability in even the most challenging circumstances. •

Dear Harley Davidson dealership,
Hi. It's me, Nate Southard. You might remember me from when I bought an Iron 883 back in October. Actually, that's a stupid thing to say. You obviously don't remember me buying a motorcycle from your rather cavernous-yet-shiny store. Why do I say this?
Because, if you did remember my purchase, you might have mailed my license plates instead of keeping them on a desk in some back office.
Because, if you did remember my purchase, your various salesmen might not keep calling me two months later to ask if I'm still interested in buying a Sportster.
To be fair, one salesman called to ask if I was ready to trade in my 883 for a bigger bike. That salesman, I assume, is less an idiot and more an asshole.
Look, I know times are tough. I know sales of new bikes are down. I've read about the production shutdowns at your factories. That said, I don't feel the answer is to cold call every name you have on file. Most likely, that kind of behavior will send the motorcycle-buying public running for the hills. I know you've chased me away from your dealership.
Thank you. That is all.
Nate Southard


text: castalla 2 Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 I have no idea if this is a flirc or xbmc bug (flirc is suspect because I haven't seen the problem using keyboard or mouse). I have a key mapped to Favorites. This pops up and I can select and play a favorite. If I put the PC into sleep when it wakes up everything works as expected BUT then (randomly) selecting a favorite stream causes a complete lock-up of the PC. Only a hard reboot can recover.

Intercropping system plays an important role in increasing land use efficiency and weed suppression. A field experiment entitled "Integrated weed management in chilli + garlic intercropping system" was conducted at the Vegetable Division in Kittur Rani Channamma College of Horticulture, Arabhavi, University of Horticultural Sciences, Bagalkot (Karnataka) during kharif 2014 and 2015. The objective of the experiment was to identify the best possible method of weed control for maximizing the productivity of chilli+garlic intercropping system. Among the different chemical treatments, pre-emergent application of alachlor @ 1.5 kg ai/ha + 2 HW at 45 and 60 DAT recorded the lowest pooled dry matter of weeds (2.59 g), lowest monocot (3.57), dicot weeds (3.06) and weed population (4.7) thus exhibited the highest weed control efficiency (87.85%). The yield per ha of green chilli (256.93 q) and garlic (30.80 q), net returns (Rs.1,08,565) and B:C ratio (2.30) were found to be highest and it was followed by treatment with pre-emergent application of pendimethalin at 1.5 kg/ha +2 HW at 45 and 60 DAT.

College Students, Be Aware of Scams Directed at You
Life on your own as a college student can be fun and exhilarating. However, you may also be faced with new challenges and responsibilities. It's important to be aware that some scammers may try to take advantage of your inexperience and attempt to steal your identity or your cash.
Job Scams
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has issued warnings about job scams aimed at college students. One type of scam lures students with phony job openings.
These online postings often offer entry-level administrative positions, but the student never meets the "employer." Instead, a check is sent to the applicant who is instructed to deposit it into a personal checking account. The student is directed to keep some of the money as salary and wire the rest to a vendor to purchase materials or supplies. Later, the bank will discover that the original check is counterfeit. Depositing a bogus check could cause waves of damages. Not only will the student be responsible for reimbursing the bank for the amount of the fraudulent check, but the account could even be closed for fraud.
Check out the FBI's list of tips on how to help better protect yourself from these types of scams. If you come across one, file a report with IC3.gov.
Phone Scams
Phone scams are another menace. One common theme revolves around the bogus "federal student tax." Callers posing as Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agents intimidate some students into paying this nonexistent tax. In 2016, both the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the IRS warned of this scam, and it continues to circulate.
In August 2017, North Carolina State University (NC State) warned about another phone scam that cost students on campus a total of $58,000. In this scenario, imposter IRS agents call a student and demand immediate payment in gift cards for an outstanding debt.
One NC State senior told a local TV station that the caller terrified her. The phone voice claimed her credit report would be irreparably damaged if she didn't comply immediately. Only $2,000 of the $14,000 this student paid was recoverable. Report incidents like this immediately to the IRS.
Parents and grandparents of students can also be targets. In November 2017, Boston Massachusetts Police Commissioner William Evans issued a warning to area colleges and universities about scammers claiming to be a student in jail who needed bond money. The scammers can often glean a great deal about students from social media accounts, and the calls can be quite convincing.
Help Better Protect Yourself
Be proactive in protecting yourself from scams:
- Be careful what you share on social media and how and where you share personally identifiable information (PII) such as your Social Security number, driver's license number, or bank account information.
- When pursuing job opportunities, remember the old adage, "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is."
- And, keep in mind, the IRS will not call you to demand immediate payment using gift cards, prepaid debit cards, or wire transfer.

Dear Friends of CEIBS,
We cordially invite you to attend the CEIBS Executive Forum on June 19, 2019 with Mr. Bruno Roche, Chief Economist & Managing Director of Mars Catalyst, who will give a lecture titled Why Does Purpose as a Strategy Make a Difference?
Today, many companies have or seek to have a purpose that goes beyond profit maximization and embraces social & environmental issues. Yet, most purposes are still descriptive of the companies' values and often self-serving. Few grasp the huge business opportunity of leveraging Purpose as a strategy to transform business performance – across the people, planet & profit equation. At a time when more and more companies are striving to align short-term and long-term goals and to address their impact on the world through charity and CSR programs, there is a duty and an opportunity for business leaders, investors and management schools to redefine the purpose of business -- which is to produce profitable solutions to the relevant problems of people and the planet in their respective ecosystems.
This talk and discussion panel will explore the power of putting purpose into practice to drive growth strategies – with an emphasis on how companies can transform their business model to increase both their performance and their positive impact on society and the environment.
About the Speaker
Bruno Roche is a French economist, speaker, businessman, author and the leader of the Economics of Mutuality movement. He is currently the Chief Economist of Mars, incorporated (a large multinational family owned company, makers of iconic brands like M&Ms, Dove, Mars, Snickers, Uncle Ben's, Pedigree, Royal Canin, Wrigley's gum, and more) and the Managing Director for Catalyst, a global thought leadership capability and internal corporate think tank with presence in Asia, Europe and the USA.
Bruno Roche co-created the Mutuality in Business Lab at Oxford University, he serves as an expert to the World Economic Forum and is a visiting lecturer in different universities. He co-authored the book, "Completing Capitalism: Heal Business to Heal the World" which has been translated in China by Citic Press in 2018.

Recently I had a friend send me an email to ask me how I went about attracting clients, as he was trying to get work doing audio engineering and was struggling a bit. It's one of the many variations on a question I get asked all the time, how do I get work in the audio field? While this guide in general tends to stick with answering that question in terms of audio engineering, I think a lot of the things I recommend can apply in other fields too.
Someone told me when I was starting up my business that it's 90% getting the work, and 10% actually doing the work. It took awhile for that to really sink in, but over the last 5 years that I've been a full-time mastering engineer it's really hit home how much time you need to spend to attract new people to work with. These days there's just so many more "audio engineers" online promoting their businesses, so I'd say it's probably more like 95% – 5% actually. Not trying to be discouraging, there's just a lot of people out there wanting to be audio engineers, mastering engineers, mix engineers, etc. It's almost as crowded and competetitive a field as being a musician these days!
My start was slow, but I also didn't really plan on doing this full-time initially. I was just having fun and making some extra money at the time, and I think that's the best way to start. You don't need to graduate college or some audio engineering school (ahem) and instantly be a booked-solid engineer. It'd be nice, sure, but that's a rock star pipe dream. Happens to a few, but it's definitely the exception and not the rule, so at least have a realistic plan in place for the long haul.
I did mastering on the side along with a normal day job for 10 years before I felt I had enough clients to go full-time, and even then it can still be pretty close some months. I've tried all forms of advertising, web banners, forum signatures, Facebook, print ads, Google ads, you name. The ONLY thing that has ever worked in my case was word of mouth from happy clients. Everything else was just a huge waste of money.You need to make people see what you do as valuable, and they need to trust that you know what you're doing with some many other people they could choose instead.
My blog and my production guides are a huge asset for me in this area, because a lot of people know me for those initially, and then find out I do mastering (usually). By then I've already established some minimal trust, and hopefully shown I know what I'm talking about. It makes people more comfortable in taking that initial chance on handing over their money. I'm not saying you should do the same, just that you have to leverage everything you do to help nudge people towards working with you. And to not over do it at the same time, something that's more of a struggle than most people realize. Nobody pays attention to someone constantly pushing something at them 🙂
Oh, and always act like a professional online, people can google anything you ever wrote at any time these days, and trust me they do when researching you. Avoid the flame wars, be nice to people (even trolls), and generally be as easy to get along with as you can.
I guess the core of what I'm trying to say is, you need to put your efforts into making people want to work with YOU. Having the right tools, experience, all that of that is certainly important, but those things should be a given if you're serious about what you do. And the competition will have those things in place too, so it's not really a selling point. It's like trying to talk someone into buying a car by saying it comes with 4 wheels. 🙂
Stay positive, and Most of all, don't give up!

After a long few days wondering about whether or not we would be able to travel we got on the plane and trusted that God would work it out. He did and we met our kids for the first time. We spent the week getting to know each other and finishing up the visa paperwork. The 4 of us got on a plane ready for a long flight. We had a good time in Ethiopia, everything worked out as planned. There were a few small snaggs in the paperwork that were able to be fixed before they caused any real issues. Big thanks to everyone who had a direct hand in getting everything ready, and to everyone who sent prayer up for us. A few pictures.

Don't let anyone rob you of this blessed truth.
Ephesians 2:8, 9 states, For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Romans 6:23 says, For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Our Saviour shed His precious blood upon the cross over 2,000 years ago to redeem sinners. To be saved, one must receive this precious gift, the Lord Jesus Christ, for the remission of sin. When the transaction occurs God immediately gives eternal life to the receiver of His gift.
Friend, it is free. Because of it one can exuberantly say with Paul, Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift (2 Corinthians 9:15).
The Price Paid by Christ
God's gift cost the Saviour everything. This included the relinquishing of His heavenly home for a period of 33 years. Philippians 2:5-8 beautifully pictures the sacrifice: Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Yes, He loved you and left the beauty of the "Holy City" to die an agonizing death upon Calvary. He said, I came down from heaven (John 6:38). Again, I am the living bread which came down from heaven (John 6:51). He loved you and gave himself for you (see Galatians 2:20).
God's gift also cost the Lord Jesus Christ His reputation. Philippians 2:7: [He] made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men. His enemies tried to drag His holy name into the depths of degradation. Listen to them: He casteth out devils through the prince of devils (Matthew 9:34). He hath an unclean spirit (Mark 3:30). He hath a devil and is mad (John 10:20). "He is an illegitimate child." They said even that? Absolutely. His sermon so convicted the sinners of His day that they, in retaliation, shouted, We be not born of fornication (John 8:41). Christ bore all of this abusive language because of His great love for the lost including you.
God's gift also cost Christ great sorrow. He could say in Matthew 26:28, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death. He beheld the city, and wept over it (Luke 19:41). Again in Luke 22:44: And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. Medical men state that blood is held in one's body by capillaries. When they burst, blood seeps through the skin. Jesus prayed so agonizingly over the souls of men that His capillaries shattered, His blood seeped through His skin, and beads of blood and water ran from His brow to the ground. Oh, how Jesus loved the lost.
Hebrews 12:2 looks ahead to the joy anticipated because of the sorrow endured: Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him [seeing the redeemed in His presence] endured the cross.
God's gift also cost Christ His life. Psalm 22 prophetically depicts the event. Listen to the Saviour as He hangs, fastened by spikes, to the cross: My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? Verse 6: But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. Verses 13-16: They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion. I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. Do you hear the agonizing groans of the Lord as he pays the price of salvation for you?
Isaiah, the prophet, also portrays the ignominious scene in chapter 53:1-5: Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Paul says, Christ died for our sins (1 Corinthians 15:3). John adds, He loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood (Revelation).
Multitudes more of the "saved by grace without cost" crowd never win lost souls to Christ. Million slip into hell forever and forever and forever while believers fill their daily schedules with temporal earthly pursuits. They fail to witness because their exalted image could become tarnished by the taunts of those Christ-haters who belittle them. They might be called fanatics, fools, idiots, imbeciles, or Jesus freaks. Are we better than Christ who was called demented and mad in John 10:20? Are we better than Paul who said in 1 Corinthians 4:10, We are fools for Christ? God forgive us for not paying the cost of discipleship.
Let's investigate the price some of God's people paid as they followed Jesus.
Stephen, the first deacon, paid all he had by giving his life. In Acts 7:51 we find him preaching a strong, bombastic message naming sin. This kind of preaching is never popular. And [they] ran upon him with one accord, and cast him out of the city, and stoned him (Acts 7:57,58).
The New Testament writers, with the exception of John, laid down their lives for the Saviour. Matthew died from the wounds of a halberd. Mark was dragged through the streets by a team of wild horses until death ensued. Luke was hanged. John was thrown into boiling oil. Though he lived, he was disfigured for life. Peter and Jude were crucified, and James was smashed to death by a club. Paul, last but not least, suffered more than the others combined.
He could say in 1 Corinthians 4:10-13, We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised. Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted [beaten], and have no certain dwelling place; And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the off- of all things unto this day. In 1 Corinthians 15:31, he says, I die daily.
In 2 Corinthians 4:8-10 he continues, We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed: Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus.
Again, 2 Corinthians 11:23-28: In labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft. Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one. Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep; In journeying often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, and fastings often, in cold and nakedness. Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.
Think of it.
- Five times they scourged Paul with the forerunner of the Roman cat-o-nine-tails.
- Three times they used clubs on his body.
- Once they crushed his head with rocks. Thinking he was dead, they discarded his body at the garbage dump of Lystra (see Acts 14:19).
Salvation is free, but it is not cheap. Discipleship that brings crowns and rewards at the Judgment Seat of Christ is costly. Those who do not sacrifice here will have nothing in that day. They shall stand in Christ's presence ashamed (see 1 John 2:28). They shall suffer loss of all rewards (see 1 Corinthians 3:15).
One who is a disciple, a follower of Christ throughout this earthly, pilgrimage, has no regrets as eternity approaches. Listen to Paul again in 2 Timothy 4:6-8. He is about to have his life ended by decapitation beheading. His head will soon roll from his body as the sword severs it.
Is he remorseful, regretful, and sorry?
Would he like to relive life without all of the sorrow experienced as Christ's follower?
You be the judge. He says, For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight; I have finished my course. I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. There are no regrets-he is going home to be with Jesus forever.
Christian, get a copy of Fox's Book of Martyrs.
It will revolutionize your life as you see the price Christians have paid throughout history. They were grateful for free salvation and gave their all out of gratitude. Let me share two illustrations from this volume:
In the year 258 AD, three hundred Christians jumped into fires at Utica rather than renounce the Lord Jesus Christ.
In 304 AD, Timothy and Mara heard a knock at the door. A voice said, "Give us your Scripture portions that we may burn them." They replied, "Never. We would rather have you burn us." They took Timothy, removed his eyes, threw him in front of his wife, and said, "Now let him read his Bible." Six weeks later, the agents returned saying, "Will you renounce Jesus today?" "Never!" They then took this godly couple, and hanged them in trees in view of their little children. All this because they loved Jesus.
Salvation is free, but it is not cheap.
Some of you have been treating it cheaply. Why not dedicate your life anew today. Get rid of habits, coldness, lukewarmness, and the spirit of unconcern that has hindered your growth in the Lord.

Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, has directed Richard Akindele, the professor at the centre of the leaked sex-for-mark audio scandal, to proceed on an indefinite suspension.
The university says he was found guilty of serious misconduct.
PREMIUM TIMES reported how a panel set up by the university to investigate the scandal submitted its report on Wednesday.
Mr Akindele appeared before the panel, PREMIUM TIMES learnt, but was found culpable. The panel therefore recommended his suspension.
"We will like to reiterate that OAU will continue to do everything legally and morally acceptable in pursuance of its avowed commitment to zero tolerance for sexual harassment, intimidation and, or coercion," the university's vice-chancellor, Eyitope Ogunbodede, said in a statement sent to PREMIUM TIMES.
Read the full statement below.
Audio Conversation: Obafemi Awolowo University Suspends Professor Richard I. Akindele
The Vice-Chancellor of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, has received and considered the interim report of the Committee set up to investigate the allegation of sexual harassment revealed in a recent audio recording.
In the interim report submitted to the Vice Chancellor, Professor Eyitope Ogunbodede, Professor Richard I. Akindele, of the Department of Management and Accounting, is now established to be the lecturer in the controversial "marks for sex" audio recording. The female voice has also been identified as that of Miss Monica Osetobe OSAGIE, a Postgraduate Student on the Master of Business Administration Regular programme.
Although the Investigative Committee had invited both Professor Richard I. Akindele and Miss Osagie, only Professor Akindele had appeared before the Committee, while Miss Osagie is yet to appear or make any representation. The report indicated that many other witnesses appeared before the Committee and gave useful evidence. The University is making efforts to ensure that Miss Osagie appears before the investigative committee so that it can hear her side of the case and promptly submit its final report.
The Committee observed that a prima facie case of inappropriate relationship with the female student had been established against Professor Richard I. Akindele. The Vice-Chancellor, having carefully and dispassionately considered the report, also came to the conclusion that a prima facie case of serious misconduct had been established.
Having regard to the gravity of the offence for which Professor Richard I. Akindele is found to be prima facie liable, the Vice-Chancellor, in line with the Code of Conduct for the University Community and acting under all the laws and regulations of the University enabling him in that regard, has directed that Professor Richard I. Akindele be suspended forthwith from the University, pending the final determination of the disciplinary case against him.
Under the provisions of the relevant Statute of the University, an academic staff can only be dismissed from service or have his or her appointment terminated only when the matter on which consideration is being given has been investigated by a Joint Council and Senate Committee, and the staff has appeared before the committee with his or her counsel, if so desired. This procedure is the minimum requirement of the law and regulations of the University. It should therefore be noted that the suspension of Professor Richard I. Akindele is on the basis of the findings of the Investigative Committee that he is prima facie liable, and this decision will abide, pending the final determination of the case by the Council of the University.
We will like to reiterate that OAU will continue to do everything legally and morally acceptable in pursuance of its avowed commitment to zero tolerance for sexual harassment, intimidation and, or coercion.
Thank you.
Professor Eyitope Ogunbodede

New stats I just came across from our office meeting. A RealtyTrends newsletter provided us with some insights on where people first saw the house they now own. Here are some interesting findings:
From their agent-34%
Internet 29%
Yard Sign 14%
Home builder 8%
Friend/Relative 8%
Newspaper Ad 3%
Directly from Sellers 3%
Book or Magazine 1%
Other -
How many of your offices have greatly reduced paper print ads? Has this reduced your business?! It goes to show that satisfying a seller's request to advertise in all local papers is a great waste of resources. These statistics come from homeowners who are actually giving the locations of WHERE they found the home they actually ended up BUYING.
I see this as an important trend to follow, and wonder, now, if there is an increase in the number of homes sold through social networking? Any stories to share about this?

BEIJING (Sputnik) — China has confirmed the readiness to import 27 million metric tons of Russian oil in 2016, Vice-President of the Russia's oil pipeline company Transneft, Sergey Andronov, said Thursday.
"For 2016, 16.5 million [metric] tons [will be received by China] via the Skovorodino-Mohe [oil pipeline], 7 million tons goes through Kazakhstan and some 3.5 million tons will be loaded as a part of the intergovernmental agreement through the [Russian eastern] Kozmino port. Generally, about 27 million tons," Andronov told reporters on the sidelines of the Russia-China Oil&Gas conference.
Russia began supplying oil to China in 2011. In 2015, China imported over 36 million tons of Russian oil.

Romans 8:28 TLB, "And we know that all that happens to us is working for our good if we love God and are fitting into his plans."
I believe every Christian on the face of the earth has had this verse quoted to them or has quoted it to someone along the way. When someone is going through something hard, "All things work together for good," is easy to say, but hard to hear. I think we overlook the two conditions in this verse: 1. If we love God, and 2. Are fitting into His plans. So next time you throw that verse like a missile, aimed to destroy every doubt that the hell they're going through has purpose, let's ask ourselves these two questions and see what the answer is. Let's take care of the beam in our own eye before helping remove the speck of dust from our brothers eye.
Do you love God? Jesus said, "If you love me, you'll keep my commandments." What did he say the greatest commandments were? To love the Lord your God with all our heart, soul and mind and secondly, to love your neighbor as yourself. If you don't love God like that, then perhaps what you're going through has no other purpose then to turn your head from the things YOU want to the things GOD wants.
Are you fitting into Gods plan or are you trying to get God to fit into yours? Is this thing you're pursuing something you want or is it something God wants? We somehow lose sight of our purpose here and that is to serve God. Our first job is working for God, our second job is working in the world. We must not do anything that would jeopardize our first job. Being fired by God is never something we want to hear, so why are the things of this world more important then working for His Kingdom? Honoring God by keeping His Word must be our number one priority. I'm amazed at how many people tell me they're too busy to go to church, serve in church, tithe to the church. They don't have the time! Seriously? God can make that happen!
Jesus was serious when He said, "Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, then all these things will be added to you." Notice He didn't say, 'God will give you whatever you want if you'll work hard at your job. He'll understand if you miss church and don't pay your tithes. He's a merciful God, full of grace.' He is merciful and full of grace, but if you put Him first and treat Him with respect and honor, making disciples, healing the sick, raising the dead, loving one another regardless of their choices, only then are you fitting into HIS plans. His plan is that the world will be saved. His plan is that no one would perish but all would have everlasting life in Him. If your plans don't line up with His plan, you'd better take another look at where you plan to spend eternity.
Father, I set aside my agenda today. I will seek You and find You when I seek for You with all my heart. My goal today is to find You. You're not hiding from me. You're just waiting for me to lay aside my cares, my burdens, my plans and spend time in fellowship with you. So I wait for You. I'm falling on my knees, bathing Your feet with my tears, assured that You respond to my sincere repentance for my selfishness. You are more important than my home, my husband, my children or grandchildren. You're more important than my job, my personal business, my money, anything and everything that I've placed before you. I will wait until I hear Your voice clearly, giving me direction that I so need in this hour. I pour out my love to You. It's in Jesus Name I pray, Amen
