I'm on Oranum but I'm not getting enough readings. What am I doing Wrong? :-(
I did my test reading the other day for Oranum and started yesterday (9/6/2012). I've heard of people passing the $100 mark within a few HOURS of logging on. I made just over $20 my first day after working about 2 hours. I don't know whether or not that's good money for someone at the 99 cent rate.
I took special time and effort in my office background appearance. I decorated it with a celestial tapestry on the wall, a plasma ball and an incense lamp that looks like a genie lamp. I definitely look the part and have gotten a ton of compliments on it. :cool:
Lately though the traffic has been god awfully slow, with most of the people in my free chat not having any credits to get a reading, and some wanting a reading for free.:(
I've been getting on from around 9p to 2a Eastern Standard Time. Can anybody give me any advice? I'd like to know what the busiest times of the day/night are at Oranum and when the customers are on that have money to spend and will spend their money. Most of all I just need advice. I know not to quit, as I have just started.
This is a question that just cannot be answered with any accuracy. Sadly, most sites like Oranum have peaks and lows any day, week or month.
If you are working during a certain time of day, change it up and try another time. If you are working certain days, change to different days.
Explore any blocks that you might have within yourself. I know that when I have lulls in my readings, sometimes that causes me to have anxiety and doubt myself... this turns into a vicious circle for me and if I don't stop it it just gets worse. This seems to block my energy and abilities so I take a day or 2 or 3 off to reground and recenter myself.
Relax with it. You have only been doing this for two days! Relax.
For what its worth, I have noticed that Oranum has been slow the last couple of months. Whether this is do to a summer lag (as many companies report) or if this is due to Oranum continuing to hire and over saturate their site; I don't know.
Most likely the days of surpassing the $100 mark in a few hours are probably gone. That was when they only had 4-500 readers...now they have breached the 2000 reader mark! it might take a little longer.
You are just going to have to trust yourself and hopefully that shines through into confidence that the customers can see.
Good luck hun
Ive seen that they have over 2000 readers, but I've also noticed that no more than about 50 are on at one time. (I studied this trend for a couple weeks as I waited for my test reading)
Do you or anyone else on here know when the summer lag will be over? I'm excited to start doing more readings for people!!!!
FYI: I even have a feng shui water fountain in the NW corner of my office where I do readings. The NW corner is the wealth ($$) corner of your house and a flowing water fountain represents money coming to you. I turn it on when I wake up and turn it off when I go to bed.
WOW first off all you are soooo lucky to have a 3 year old who sleeps until noon! lol Mine were all up by 6 or 7am when they were little. Luckily I don't have that aspect to deal with anymore (all grown adults lol)
You said: FYI: I even have a feng shui water fountain in the NW corner of my office where I do readings. The NW corner is the wealth ($$) corner of your house and a flowing water fountain represents money coming to you.
Now see, I have heard the opposite, if you have water flowing in your money area it is like money going down the drain, so you might want to turn it off for a while and see if it helps.
Who knows when or even IF this is a summer lag. When I first started back in March, there were usually no more than 10-15 readers online at any one time. So unless "O" is increasing its (active) membership exponentially...50 readers online available for readings is going to make slim pickens for the readers...this is actually a scary trend you have noticed...I didn't think that many readers were on unless they do some sort of incentive for the readers to be on (they recently offered an additional 10% to readers who spent the most time in free chat on Labour day...not sure if you caught that one) and you will find LOADS of readers on trying to get that incentive.
So yeah hang in there. Burn purple candles or have an amethyst crystal around, this promotes psychic powers and might help calm you during your time online. Don't discount how your energy and emotions can effect or block the readings you get or provide....
Hi Jessica,
I haven't been here for a while, just read your messages.
- No. 1: Get the best possible Awards ranking! This will rule your incomes. If you are amongst the first 10 or so, you may get 10 times more traffic than others!
- No. 2: Free chat usage. I know some of the Psychics doesn't like it, but believe me, this is a perfect marketing tool. If you use it properly, it gives you a bunch of new Clients. I know some readers on Oranum whom are complaining about Members taking them to private too fast!!
- No 3: Promotion. use the additional promotional tools Oranum offers, like e-mail readings, recorded videos, pictures, the Community site, and so on. They have a bunch of official and non-official offers (like some of the readers are giving out free credits amongst their Clients when they reach a milestone). You may contact their support, they are always happy to help.
Hope this helped Jessica. :)

Hi Jessica,
Hope all is well with you, I work on Oranum also as ladyren, and I have no background on my wall, its just as plain as day hahah, but I will improve that wall soon. Change your hours, and do a video, promote, and the money will come, take your time. (ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING). I have alot of people coming into my room, talking about rude and fake reading. I've been on Oranum 1yr and some months, and yes there are alot more reader than when I first started last May. Dont worry your clients will come.
Hey there :)
I've been looking at this site -weighing the pros and cons of it. One thing that is holding me back is the idea to set a schedule and come in to work the chat rooms for 14 hours every week. To me, that means time that I can't log on simultaneously to another site while I am there, because it would mean leaving the free chatroom, and i can't see giving up readings somewhere else to sit in chat. (At this point I usually run a couple of different sites at a time, trying to spread my eggs into different baskets for security.)
Those of you who are logging in there, are you able to be logged in on another site as well? How important is it to preschedule those 14 hours a week. (My thoughts here being a single mom, is that flu season is coming and I don't want to be in a situation where I can't pick up my son if he is sick because I have scheduled hours in a free chatroom.)
Anyone who is logging in there have any thoughts they can share on this? Is it a factor? I just need to make sure I can do this and pay my bills rather than take away from what I am already doing. Thanks for your thoughts!
Hello ReikiLight,
As I know, they expect the minimum of 14 hours, because that used to work (Members getting familiar with you, etc.).
But as to my knowledge, this is not checked by anyone, so I would suggest to you to give it a try and start! :)
Hope this helped.
It has been months since I have been able to put in the minimum 14 hours a week that they initially told me was required. So far the only draw back to it is that you are not "ranked" this means that you are not likely to make the first page for more exposure. Other than that, no one has said a word to me about it. Of course, that could change at any point lol.
I do have 2 other services open when I am working O. If I receive a reading request in either of them and I am in free chat on O, I close out my chat on Oranum and take care of my other customer. When I am done, I go back to Oranum. The same holds true if I am taken to private on Oranum, I put myself unavailable on the other lines and concentrate on O.
You dont have to do the preset schedule. They suggest you do it but I rarely do it for some of the reasons you mentioned in your initial post.

Internet upload speed Issue
I do want to signup with Oranum But internet upload speed is the biggest issue. I am living in a small city of Pakistan where no Broadband company is offering 1020kb upload speed. what may be the solution?
I was wondering if this is still true? I just started on Oranum and I was just wondering if I have to follow this formula to gain sales?

Haha its been 2 years since I started to post on this forum for Xian Jian IV, first of all I have to apologize for disappeared so long. I was busy due to my school work.
Well, its really nice to see so many people love Xian Jian series and manage to play it as much as they do.
I just finished GuJianQiTan yesterday, so if anyone has any question, feel free to ask me
I'm stuck on the battle against Tu Su's master in 天墉城 - After the first turn or two I can't get more than a single turn at a time, so I can either heal myself until I run out of MP or I can attack him and die the next turn I'm level 50, and I've got all the best equipment you can buy. It's tough to level up too because you only have Tu Su and Hong Yu at this point. Any ideas? I've tried speed down/attack down items on him, but they don't do enough to help!

"Double" whitelisting a given user
Given the following configuration:
* User A is part of segment A
* A given split has segment A whitelisted to treatment "on"
* That same split also has user A whitelisted to treatment "off"
Which treatment should we expect user A to see for the split?
1 comment
Official comment
It depends on the order in which the treatments are evaluated under whitelisting.
When you choose to whitelist, by default the first treatment evaluated will be whatever treatment is first under Treatments. But you can change that.
So, if On is first option under Treatments and you don't change it under whitelisting, User A will get On. However, if you change the treatment to be evaluated first by whitelisting to Off, even if On is the first option under Treatments, then User A will get Off.Comment actions

Around The UK and Back
Its been a long time since my last blog and since then I've been very busy completing some awesome UK tours and residencies. Joseph and The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat starring the lovely Joe McElderry as Joseph and myself as his Calypso Brother Asher was the first of my adventures. I had such a blast with these guys with our 10 show weeks around the UK (no time to shave in Canaan but Colgate smiles all round).
My second adventure was one that made History the second all black cast ever to perform Guys & Dolls in the world since 1976 and the first in the UK ever. What an experience bringing such a classic show to The Streets of Harlem at The Royal Exchange, Manchester. Also my first time performing a Musical in The Round not to mention having the honour of meeting and performing for The Earl of Wessex Prince Edward and the lovely Barbados High Commissioner Guy Hewitt memories I shall never forget.
Before I could even unpack my bags or reflect on my time in Manchester I was off again on tour for 6 months with a show I hold very dear to my heart, The Rat Pack Live From Las Vegas as Sammy Davis Jr. The first time I played Sammy Davis Jr was when I was 22 I didn't know much about the worlds greatest entertainer but from that first CD/DVD is was hooked for life. I read his biographies, traveled across America and at times literally walked in his foot steps performing at the same theatres. This UK tour was a special tour, 9 years from when that journey began from looking in The Stage Paper at Huskeys Studios (Ivan Blackstock will remember) up until now The Rat Pack has been a large part of my life taking me all over the world.

Unconditional love is the greatest gift we can give ourselves and the world.
None of us can expect the world to be a better, more loving place if we do not do the necessary inner healing work to be more loving ourselves. After all, what is outside of us is a mirror of what is inside. Like it or not, the outer world is a mirror of our capacity to love and how much we are motivated by fear. Just trying to change the fearful behavior of others will not change us or the world for the better.
Fear can become habitual and we don't even realize it (so be kind to yourself!)
We are not built physically, emotionally or spiritually to run on fear. When we fear, our fight or flights kick in and our digestive system goes on hold causing physical digestive problems, chronic muscle tightness, heart problems, emotional problems, a lack of presence, and reactive, fear based thinking. Fear can cause us to repress our deeper feelings, leading to emotional outbursts, anger, depression, anxiety, sleep disorders and general unhappiness. We are not able to be our true, loving selves and honor our soul path when we live in fear.
The energy of fear is sharp, chaotic and fast moving. It is tightly compacted and causes us to become not only emotionally disconnected but physically dysfunctional as the cells in our body are energetically weakened, rather than vibrant.
In contrast, love is a peaceful, calm, loose, flowing, reassuring energy. It connects us to our soul and to the Mystery We Call God, Goddess, Divine Spirit, All That Is….. Love is about being present and not reactive. Love is wise beyond thoughts and love connects us to all life, because love is the core of all life.
It is too much to assume that we can be loving at all times. But we can learn to notice when fear kicks in and be present enough with ourselves to do our healing work, compassionately moving ourselves out of a state of fear and into a state of love and grace.
May the energy of love surround you, fill you and bless you with compassion, serenity and peace.

Scene Description
Chloe Cherry was super excited for prom! Until her stupid stepbrother told her that her date is gonna expect to get some at the end of the night. This was an issue because Chloe was a virgin and she didn't want to give up her pussy! Good thing stepbro was a quick thinker and suggested she just give up her asshole! She was intrigued, but brother would have to show her how. He attempted to penetrate her narrow asshole, but Chloe was too scared of the sensation and they had to postpone their anal endeavor.Published 2 years ago

All this means is that there is a dedicated bathroom attached to the master/main bedroom of the property. Ensuite bathrooms have been a thing since about the 80's, and since that time, they've gotten better and better. For this reason, the best ensuite bathrooms in Fort McMurray are usually found in the newest homes. Over the years, as lifestyles have changed, so have homes. "Half ensuite" means there is a toilet and a sink, "full ensuite" means you'll also find a bathtub and/or a shower. "Jack and Jill" means there's only one bathroom and it's got a door to the master bedroom as well as access to the main house (happily you shouldn't find those homes below because we don't count "Jack & Jill" bathrooms as ensuites).

Unknown Pleasures presents US independent films that are rarely shown in Germany. The films selected for the festival's 10th anniversary edition are drawn to the periphery, to rural America, away from the urban centers. The sociopolitical debates of recent years are clearly manifest. The films present a country where political and economic differences are increasing and which – more and more – is characterized by its contradictions. Frederick Wiseman's MONROVIA, INDIANA is about one of these contradictions. It is the calm portrait of a small town in the Midwest, where agriculture dictates everyday life. Wiseman listens carefully as the inhabitants speak about how the town has grown, about fire hydrants or god. The film impresses on the audience how important rural America is for the country's overall perception of itself and how easily this is forgotten. The fact that people do not always choose to give up on life in the city is illustrated by several of the films, for example Paul Schrader's FIRST REFORMED and Desiree Akhavan's THE MISEDUCATION OF CAMERON POST. While Schrader portrays the priest of a tiny congregation who has doubts and struggles with the world from which he feels increasingly estranged, Akhavan depicts the life of a teenager in a remote Christian therapy center where she is supposed to be "cured" of homosexuality. A particular highlight of the program is the German premiere of A BREAD FACTORY by Patrick Wang who will be present. In two films inspired by the struggle to set up an alternative cultural center, he follows various characters and asks the question of what makes a community. A BREAD FACTORY is a singular work, a sprawling comedy, which is thrilling because of its ambition, its humanity and its sense for everyday moments and how they influence us. There are many films about the border zone between Mexico and the US but one of the finest is John Sayles' LONE STAR from 1996. Like Wang, Sayles films communities and never so impressively as in this film in which his characters travel through the complex history of the region and uncover closely-guarded family secrets. By contrast, Penny Lane's THE PAIN OF OTHERS seems to be located in "no place". Through YouTube videos, in which women talk about a rare disease, the filmmaker shows us people who feel abandoned by the medical establishment (and society) and have found refuge in the matte light of of the computer screen. THE PAIN OF OTHERS is a haunting film and the most radical of the program.
DIANE (Kent Jones, USA 2018, 1. & 14.1.) Diane lives alone in Massachusetts. She looks after the people around her, mostly her son who first falls under the spell of drugs, then of god. Diane's needs are always secondary and in her loneliness she is particularly susceptible to the constant changes in life. Her friends fall ill and die. She makes new friends. Kent Jones' first feature film after many documentaries is surprising. The film is tremendously attentive to its protagonists and their environment. "With her calm, multifaceted portrayal as the lead, Mary Kay Place forms the center - a warm beating heart that aches from time to time because there are so many goodbyes in life. But also so much love. (Alexandra Seitz)
Before the screening on 1.1, we will show POLLY ONE (Kevin Jerome Everson, USA 2017), which was filmed in North Carolina with a 16-mm camera during the solar eclipse of August 2017.
THE PAIN OF OTHERS (Penny Lane, USA 2018, 2.1.) Morgellons is a mysterious disease whose symptoms seem to be straight out of a horror movie. Those affected by it say that insects and works live under their skins, creating sores containing tiny fibers. Many doctors dismiss the symptoms as the result of delusions and offer little help. The illness seems to affect women in particular. Penny Lanes new found-footage film consists almost entirely of material that she found on YouTube. In a desperate situation, the women talk about their experiences and try to prove that the illness exists and they are not crazy. THE PAIN OF OTHERS is a challenging work, at once a horror film and the testimony of radical self-help. The viewer is confronted with the fundamental question of what empathy is. Can humans really understand the feelings of another?
THE MISEDUCATION OF CAMERON POST (Desiree Akhavan, USA 2018, 2. & 16.1.) After her high-school graduation, the rebellious teenager Cameron Post is caught having sex with the prom queen. Her arch-conservative aunt and guardian cannot deal with this and sends her to a Christian conversion camp where she meets other teenagers who are supposed to be "cured" of their homosexuality. Desiree Akhavan's second film, which won the Sundance Grand Jury Prize, is a quiet satire played by an impressive cast led by Chloë Grace Moretz. Though the film is set in 1993 there is no nostalgia for the 1990s and it is clear that the film has a contemporary relevance.
A BREAD FACTORY: FOR THE SAKE OF GOLD (Patrick Wang, USA 2018, 3.1., guest: Patrick Wang & 15.1.) For 40 years, Dorothea and Greta have run the Bread Factory, an alternative cultural center in a fictional small town north of New York. They organize theater and opera productions, film screenings and readings. Suddenly the town council, in an attempt to be modern, threatens to transfer their funding to two hipster concept artists from China to whom they want to build a temple of art. The first part of Patrick Wang's excellent epic is about the two women and their struggle to preserve what they have built up over their lives. Instead of proposing a clearly structured narrative, Wang plunges the viewer into the maelstrom of eclectic characters who make up the Bread Factory. The humor, warmth, but also understanding for complicated themes such as community and culture (and what these mean for young people) are literally without bounds. In a democracy, as the film shows, every individual counts and no one is an island.
A BREAD FACTORY: WALK WITH ME A WHILE (Patrick Wang, USA 2018, 4.1., guest: Patrick Wang & 16.1.) The second part focuses on the rehearsals for the ancient Greek play "Hecuba" by Euripides. Outside, the town is changing mysteriously: Start-ups spring up (and tech workers start dancing in cafes), tourists turn up to visit non-existing sights (staged like a musical) and four real-estate agents start singing about their properties. Moreover, the editor-in-chief of the local newspaper disappears and a group of young people start doing her work. The subtitle of the second part of A BREAD FACTORY could not be more fitting: Walk with me a while. Rarely has one been in recent years so willing to walk with a film. A BREAD FACTORY is a unique film project whose humanity is best summed up by an actor during a Q&A session: "If you have a soul, you have questions to ask."
FIRST REFORMED (Paul Schrader, USA 2017, 5. & 8.1.) The former military priest Ernst Toller is badly affected by the death of his son. Now the minister of a small congregation in upstate New York, he is trying not to lose his faith. The historic First Reformed Church is about to celebrate its 250th birthday and a big event is planned. Meanwhile, Toller meets Mary, whose husband is a fanatical environmentalist with bleak convictions that throw the already plagued minister even more. The film is a highlight of Paul Schrader's oeuvre and after Taxi Driver (1976, screenplay by Paul Schrader), American Gigolo (1980) or The Canyons (2013) it forms another part of his "a man in a room" series. Like his predecessors, Toller is extremely angry with the world, the people in his immediate environment and the thoughtless destruction of nature.
LONE STAR (John Sayles, USA 1996, 5. & 9.1.) John Sayles is one of the most important independent filmmakers and this is his uncontested masterpiece (and one of the best films of the 1990s). In a small town in Texas, Sheriff Sam Deeds discovers a skull. A preliminary investigation finds that it is that of a previous sheriff, who was murdered. Deeds carries out his own investigation and delves deep into the town's history. Roger Ebert wrote in 1996: "'Lone Star' is not simply about the solution to the murder and the outcome of the romance. It is about how people try to live together at this moment in America." Over 20 years later, little seems to have changed, especially regarding tensions on the US-Mexico border.
DREAM OF A CITY (Manfred Kirchheimer, USA 2018) & DISTANT CONSTELLATION (Shevaun Mizrahi USA/Turkey/NL 2017, 6. & 10.1.) For over 60 years, Manfred Kirchheimer has been portraying New York. His most recent film, the mid-length DREAM OF A CITY, is a bacchanalian symphony of a city, composed from footage that Kirchheimer and Walter Hess shot at the end of the 1950s. They tell of a city in transformation. DISTANT CONSTELLATION also speaks of transformation. High-rises are built in front of an old people's home in Istanbul and the din of construction hums through the streets. In the home, on the other hand, there reigns an introspective calm. People of all kinds live here: a wannabe Casanova (who immediately offers his hand in marriage to the filmmaker), a historian, rascals and artists. The work is multilingual, with Turkish being spoken alongside English, French, Armenian, Greek and Kurdish. The film's protagonists might belong to ethnic minorities but they are primarily eyewitnesses of the 20th century. When one woman talks of massacres and social marginalization, Shevaun Mizrahi's DISTANT CONSTELLATION is not only a dreamy (and at times very humorous) portrait of this place but an extremely political film.
MONROVIA, INDIANA (Frederick Wiseman, USA 2018, 7. & 11.1.) One major constant in Frederick Wiseman's extensive oeuvre is his chronicles of (US) institutions such as Ex Libris: New York Public Library (2017). But the films devoted to places and communities are just as important, such as his latest film about the small Midwestern town of Monrovia, which ties in with earlier works such as Belfast, Maine (1999) or In Jackson Heights (2016). It is a deceptively quiet film that imparts a complex, multi-layered picture of rural America. Donald Trump is not mentioned once but his presidency plays an implicit role. The film particularly shows how important rural America is for the country's understanding of itself.
DAWSON CITY: FROZEN TIME (Bill Morrison, USA 2017, 21.1., guest: Bill Morrison) Film at the end of the world: Dawson City in northwestern Canada was the center of a huge gold rush at the turn of the 20th century. With thousands of prospectors pouring in, the town grew and a cinema even opened. Because the city was at the end of the world the nitrate prints were rarely sent back. Many were thrown into the river, others were buried and forgotten. In 1978, this treasure was rediscovered. Bill Morrison tells the tale not only of the films, but also of the bizarre history of the city and its inhabitants. DAWSON CITY: FROZEN TIME reminds us how many films have been lost (and how many remain to be found) and that the view from the periphery is as interesting as the view from the center. (hb)

Spend the night at Hua Hin's Seenspace mall with this new boutique hotel
The theme: chocolate.
We don't blame you for wanting to stay at Hua Hin's Seenspace mall all night. And with their new boutique hotel, Chocolate Box (www.enjoychocolatebox.com), you can.
Inspired by that old Forrest Gump maxim which will not be repeated here, the hotel's 23 rooms come in three flavors: White Chocolate (for two, B5,700), Milk Chocolate (for four, B7,800) and Dark Chocolate (for six, B9,900) in a hierarchy that proves what we've always known: dark chocolate reigns supreme.
Size aside, the rooms are fashioned from the same mold, each decorated in a modern, minimalist style and every shade of gray for a soothing vibe. The rate includes a la carte breakfast that's served from 7am-5pm. Is there chocolate involved? Maybe.

Day 7 was a very exciting day for Leafs prospects, as Jeremy Bracco, Carl Grundstrom and Martins Dzierkals took to the ice in crucial games for their teams. Sweden and the USA were victorious in their quarterfinal matchups, and both Jeremy Bracco and Carl Grundstrom tallied points in their respective games. Martins Dzierkals and the Latvians did not have a fantastic day yesterday, losing by a score of 2-1 to Finland in the first game of the relegation round.
The relegation round isn't being broadcasted in North America, and unfortunately, I couldn't find any highlights from yesterday's game. Here is the official game story from the IIHF, if that's any consolation.
Martins Dzierkals didn't record a point yesterday against Finland. He was first amongst Latvian forwards in ice time once again, playing 18:44 through 3 periods. Finland dominated against Latvia, despite the close score – they outshot the Latvians by a total of 45-24.
Dzierkals will need to come up big for Latvia today if his team has any chance of pulling out a victory. They are down by a single game to Finland, and one more loss will signify the Latvians' demotion to Division A of the WJHC for 2018, only one year after being promoted.
Here's what Dzierkals had to say about yesterday's loss:
Dzierkals on the close loss today: "We have nowhere else to go now, so tomorrow we will do everything we can not to get relegated."

Here are the highlights from yesterday's quarterfinal matchup:

Carl Grundstrom had another great game for Sweden yesterday, and it looks as though all injury troubles are in the past. Grundstrom was credited with one goal in Sweden's 8-3 victory against the Slovaks, though he played an instrumental part in setting up their 7th goal of the game. Here's a gif of Grundstrom forcing the puck in the net, without actually touching it:

That is some fantastic net-front pressure by Grundstrom, who puts himself in an ideal position to force a goal. Grundstrom also showed off his amazing shot late in the first, wiring the puck past the Slovakian goaltender.
Sweden will advance to the semifinals on Wednesday, taking on the Canadians what is sure to be an exciting matchup.
As always, here are the highlights from the game:

— IIHF WJC (@iihf_wjc) January 3, 2017
Despite a fantastic game against the Canadians, Joseph Woll took to the bench in USA's quarterfinal matchup against the Swiss. The Americans were far from dominant in this game, as Switzerland came surprisingly close to a victory on several occasions throughout.
Jeremy Bracco played an instrumental role in the USA's victory over the Swiss. Tallying a goal and an assist, Bracco received well-deserved recognition by his team, and was named Player of the Game by the Americans. Here is his first goal:
Beautiful passing and Leafs prospect Jeremy Bracco makes it 1-0 USA over Switzerland in the quarter-finals. #WJC pic.twitter.com/yPzdofJs7N
— Brady Trettenero (@BradyTrett) January 2, 2017
Bracco puts the finishing touches on a great play by the Americans. What has impressed me the most about Bracco over the course of the tournament is his on-ice vision and sense. His positioning is impeccable, and both his shooting and passing accuracy is bordering on elite. Here's Bracco's assist from yesterday:
Bracco carries the puck through the zone, dancing around 2 Swiss players and making a nice pass to Jordan Greenway in front of the net.
With yesterday's victory, the USA advances to the semi-finals where they will be taking on Russia in a preliminary-round rematch.
There will only be one game today, as Finland and Latvia will face off in the second game of the relegation round. If Finland wins today, Latvia will be relegated to Division A, only one year after being promoted to the tournament's top division. The game will begin at 5:30 EST in Montreal. As I mentioned above, the game isn't being broadcasted in North America. There are several YouTube channels set to live broadcast the matchup at 5:30, and that is likely the best option if you're looking to catch the game.

"Deaths by suicide rose by 11.8% in the UK in 2018."
(via Samaritans)
With that statistic, there was no way that I wouldn't write a Wednesday Writings post centred around World Mental Health Day, taking place tomorrow (Thursday 10th October). Mental health issues are taking lives.
It was a no brainer that I was going to write about this, yet the question was, how do I go about it? There was the 'personal experience' with my own mental health issues which is hugely important in the scheme of a wide conversation tackling stigma and suicide prevention. And while every voice is needed to be heard, I'd rather write from a different perspective in this instance.
I decided to focus on something optimistic in a world that is fighting a war against the mental health battle. The conversations are being had that need to happen, and that is progress. Far more kindness, understanding and knowledge about how to recognise signs, making sure that those who aren't well are supported throughout recovery and diagnosis, and sharing the truths that need to be shared. One campaign in particular, to end toxic masculinity and the term 'man up' to encourage men not to fall into their damaging stereotype and open up about how they feel, has been noticeably powerful to me personally.
Human beings rallying together to tackle such an important issue, which is taking lives every single day, is beautiful in a twisted way. How something so dark and scary is showing the true goodness that we possess is a huge positive step forwards and should never go unnoticed.
Yet, as much as it should be, it isn't enough.
We've got waiting lists that are far longer than they should be. We have unrealistic pressures placed on us from the second we wake up in the morning to the moment we try and go to sleep (if we even can sleep) and a feeling of never being good enough in a world that wants more and more from us. According to Mind.org, (click the link for full article), 5.9 out of 100 people suffer from generalised anxiety, 3.3 out of 100 suffer from depression and 4.4 out of 100 people suffer from PTSD (I'm one of them). These figures were taken in 2016 from an official survey undertaken, which means that the actual figures here in 2019 I personally believe must be higher, yet what cannot be disputed is their opener. "Approximately 1 in 4 people in the UK will suffer a mental health problem each year"
These are all facts that are commonly known, and I haven't got the credentials or a wider breadth of experience aside from my own to really add any new information of value or worth to help the cause. However, as we go into World Mental Health Day tomorrow, I have something I would like to say.
PLEASE be kind on yourselves. In a world of social media that has the capability of such amazing things, it does however create a mindset of thinking you aren't enough and need to do more. It is only natural that if you're struggling with mental health, or have a mental illness, you will be struggling with self worth and insecurity, so a reminder that waking up in the morning, drinking a cup of coffee and enjoying TV is enough. You don't need to do anymore than that, especially if you're struggling and it's the most you can do. A kinder attitude towards yourself is a tricky one, and it's something I point blank am unable to do myself so I know it's easier said than done, but you're enough. Be kind to yourself and be kind to your loved ones, let's make it a day of compassion and kindness. Let that be my main message.
World Mental Health Day is a day for us to recognise our own issues, recognise the wider issues, and it's a day for us to remember its importance – to keep fighting, to remember if you're struggling, you're still valid, and finally, always worth it.

Behavior[edit | edit source]
The Army of the Damned rise out of the ground to protect Treasure, and can carry a variety of weapons and armor of varying colors. Only the person carrying the Treasure Map will trigger them to spawn.
Appearance[edit | edit source]
The army of the damned have a rather humanoid appearance however with strange purple and green patterns on their body and wear some armor made of an unknown material (presumed to be bones as they are present in the pants and shoes).
There are several variants such as the archer and warrior. The archer holds a crossbow (unobtainable) and the warrior either uses its fists, a sword or a mace.
Each army of the damned unit spawns with a combination of armor with a ghoulish look to it. Some of them can spawn with shields, no armor, barely any, a lot or fully geared.

- Archers wield bows and stay at range.
- Warriors are visibly larger than the other Army of the Dammed varieties, have a much larger hit point pool, and wield two-handed maces.
A single pistol shot will kill any Soldier or Archer, though it should be noted that the former's shield will block the shot completely if raised.
Per v402.5[edit | edit source]
- Bow and crossbow can now damage Army of the Damned enemies
Per v207.998[edit | edit source]

Newsletter of March 2007
In the name of Jesus Christ
Some believers think that when they ask something from God in their
prayer to Him, He should respond to them immediately and if He doesn't
answer right away, they get angry with Him and get in a dispute with
God; they think that He is not concerned about them, so they start
their backslide jorney.
But there is another type of believers, when they ask something from
God in their prayers, they have patience until their request is answered,
even if their request would carry on and would be delayed for many
of the fathers prayed to God to get back his backslidden son and his
request was answered after 15 years, and one mother prayed to get
back her son, who became drug addicted after backsliding from God
and her request was answered after 4 years and her son is now a firm
and healthy believer again.
God is a prayer answering God and He is the One who decides, when
this should happen and we cannot get in a debate with God concerning
this matter. He says in Romans 9:20 But indeed, O man, who are
you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed
it, "Why have you made me like this?"and all we can do is to
pray with faith and thanksgiving as God says through Paul in Philippians
4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication,
with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
God is the One, who searches the heart and the reins, He can see and
hear and answer according to His divine will and in His timing.
And all we can do is to hold our faith and have patience, for There
is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and
open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. Hebrew
All the glory and greatness to Him.
May God be with you. es

Not so much the advertisers themselves this time, but the authority that purports to regulate them.
No video this time, sorry ;)
Imagine you're watching an adult themed channel at 6.40am.
An advert for a parody of the Blair Witch Project called "The Bare Tits Project" pops up. (Mistakenly, apparently - the advert shouldn't have gone out.)
Tagline: "In 2009 4 students went out to make a naughty documentary in Epping Forest ... They never returned but the footage was found a year later ...".
Now given that the advert (from the ASA description) has nothing more explicit than that which may be found on Page 3 of your favourite Red Top, and bearing in mind that this is "Tease Me 2" what would your reaction be?
1) Ignore it because you realise that kids won't typically be watching Tease Me 2, especially in households where the parents are actually parenting and have probably put the controls on such channels.
2) Ignore it because you realise that no-one except you will be watching Tease Me 2 at 7am in the morning.
3) You wouldn't be watching it anyway, since you either realise that there's very little smut on the smut channels that early in the morning, or you have better things to be doing then. Like sleeping.
4) Complain to the ASA that people might be offended at seeing smut on the smut channels at early-o'clock in the morning and it would "cause serious or widespread offence [and] that the depiction of nudity contravened [...] generally accepted moral, social or cultural standards."
Yes, some sad twat chose #4.
And the ASA agreed with them.
Furthermore, the ASA decided to stick their oar in and add to the complaint by claiming that the ('explicit') premium rate numbers advertised alongside should have been presented on an encrypted channel. (They should perhaps take a look in the adverts sections of the aforementioned Red Tops.)
And the ASA, strangely enough, agreed with themselves on that 2nd point.
So, the punishment for mistakenly airing an advert before 7am in the morning that normally wouldn't be aired after 9pm?
The usual, with a rider: The ad must not be broadcast again in its current form, unless it is shown on encrypted elements of adult entertainment channels.

If you haven't noticed, I got a facelift! No, not my actual face (I'm offended if that was your first guess!), but the blog. It's so much cleaner, easier to navigate and pictures are taking center stage now with higher resolution. All around, I just feel like the site looks smoother. As I was working on the transition this weekend, I took a long break to whip up some homemade meatballs and pasta sauce made from tomatoes straight from the farmers market.
There are two components to this recipe, both of which are super easy to make. You just need a little bit of patience, a healthy queue of shows that you have yet to watch & something that you really want to be distracted from. Seriously, I felt more at peace rolling meatballs than at a yoga class.
No-fail Meatballs
1 lb. fresh, grass-fed ground beef
1 egg
1/3 cup breadcrumbs (I used a frozen loaf, toasted, then used the food processor to crumbify them)
1/3 cup chicken stock or veggie stock
1/4 cup goat cheese
1 tbsp. dried parsley or 4 tbsp. fresh parsley, diced
1 tbsp. dried oregano
4 tsp. cracked red pepper
2 tsp. kosher salt
Cracked black pepper
1. In a non-reactive bowl, mix all of the ingredients together and begin to knead with your hands. Pro tip: Coat your hands with a little bit of olive oil when you begin to knead and when you begin to form the little balls of meat. This will prevent meat from sticking to your hands!
2. While you're rolling your well-mixed meat into 1-inch diameter balls, heat a heavy pan on medium heat. Once you've got your balls all rolled (I feel weird writing this, trust), place them into the hot pan and sear until browned on the outside. You do not want to skip this step! This is how they get so juicy!
3. Once your meatballs have seared, set them aside to cool. You'll be coming back to these later!
Fresh Tomato Sauce
1 lb. fresh, organic tomatoes (I used Early Girls), quartered
3 sprigs, fresh thyme
3 tbsp. butter
1 yellow onion
4 cloves of garlic, diced
Cracked black pepper
1. Heat a heavy pot (hello, dutch oven) toss in your quartered tomatoes and heat on medium-high heat. You'll be cooking these babies down and drawing all the liquid from them, or for about 15 minutes.
2. In a separate pan, heat your butter, thyme, onion, garlic, salt and pepper on medium and cook down until the onions are translucent.
3. Once your tomatoes have cooked down, pass the remaining liquid through a strainer to get rid of all of the seeds. Mix in with your butter and onion mixture on low heat, add in your meatballs and simmer for 10 minutes. Have on its own or serve your fresh tomato sauce with a side of pasta and enjoy!

If a parent paying child support has fallen behind on payments, interest will build on all amounts owing which is done automatically and cannot be changed by a judge. Failing to pay child support can have very serious consequences and in very extreme cases, can even involve jail time.
Interest on remaining child support payments is calculated as this:
-An additional 10% per year for child support that was due on or after January 1st, 1983; or
-An additional 7% per year for child support that was due before January 1st, 1983.
If your wages are being garnished for child support and you owe for past payments, the interest from these payments will be collected first from your garnishments and additional interest will continue to build on the remaining owed balance.
If you need help with your child support, contact the child support attorney located in Orange County CA.

This is my bathroom with the building's original 1927 sink, tub, tiles and fixtures. The room has been updated with some modern features including a mirrored medicine cabinet.
Speaking of which, everyone knows that guests and friends look inside them. Well, I'm opening up mine this month to show you what's inside right now.
Growing a beard this winter? Ryan Reynolds is one of the few men who, I believe, looks good with a full beard. The rest of us need to shave, trim and sculpt.
Jack Black recently launched a double-edged razor reticent of something that my great-grandfather used. I've heard about shaving cups and horsetail brushes, and they have paired two of them in their Luxury Shave Set. The matching cobalt-blue handles are stylish and this set eliminates gripping pads found on disposable razors.
You should also check out their Beard Lube (sold separately). This gel will help loosen hair follicles for a smoother shave.
Shop at Saks Fifth Avenue for these products or visit: http://www.getjackblack.com.
Natural. Effective. Dependable.
I discovered Burt's Bees Lip Balm several years ago on a ski trip in Vermont. The only store open, on this particularly late Sunday evening, was a pharmacy/hardware/general store. The checkout counter had a Burt's Bees display. On a whim, I made a purchase. I've been a fan ever since.
Burt and Roxanne make all natural skincare products that started with this lip balm. Burt kept the bees and artist, Roxanne, knew what to do with the wax and honey. Their company has blossomed into something that stings the competition.
With the change of seasons, this is a must-have in my pocket and medicine cabinet.
You can find Burt's Bees at most apothecaries and online: http://www.burtsbees.com.
John Varvatos ARTISAN was first released a while back and the traditional flask bottle ended up on a shelf in my medicine cabinet. It's worth revisiting.
This cologne contains a number of intriguing notes, including tangelo, Indian Murraya, and orange blossom. I like the scent because it conjures up good memories and was a nice masculine scent to wear over the holidays.
You can find this cologne at most department stores or visit: http://www.johnvarvatos.com
I over indulged last month with all that holiday cheer: wine, eggnog and cocktails. Every medicine cabinet could use a box of BlowFish. These effervescent tablets dissolve in water and relieve all hangover symptoms. They take care of your body aches and give you a boost of energy to feel better. Well, at least until happy hour.
Look for them at your pharmacy or visit http://www.blowfish.com.
These are my picks for this month. We'll revisit my medicine cabinet in the future, as I love to share the tried and true as well as discover new products.
Please close the cabinet door when you're done!

A Prague art gallery has unveiled a brass bust of the late Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo to mark the 30th anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen massacre, a spokeswoman said Wednesday.
"It's his first bust in the world so far," Hana Janisova, spokeswoman for the Dox Centre for Contemporary Art, told AFP.
A joint project of Amnesty International, Art for Amnesty, Humanitarian China and Dox, the bust by Czech sculptress Marie Seborova was unveiled on Monday as part of an exhibition marking the anniversary.
Liu, a writer and philosopher, veteran of the Tiananmen protests and the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize winner, died of liver cancer at age 61 in 2017 after serving several prison terms for his activities.
Liu's widow Liu Xia, a 58-year-old poet, had been expected to take part in the opening ceremony, but she excused herself at the last moment "for serious personal reasons," said Janisova.
Liu Xia's photographs are on display in the same room as the bust. Dox has kept them since an exhibition in 2014 which Liu Xia could not attend because she was under house arrest.
She was put under close police watch tantamount to house arrest after Liu won the Nobel Prize, which infuriated Beijing.
Liu Xia was released and allowed to travel to Germany in 2018.
The images date back to 1996 when Liu Xiaobo was at a labour camp and his wife preferred to communicate with him through her photos depicting dolls to puzzle the guards.
"She was supposed to see them for the first time now but it won't happen. But we'll give them to her as a present," Janisova said of the enlarged versions of her 1996 photographs.
The bust and pictures will be on display until June 4, the exact anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen massacre in which hundreds of protesters demanding democratic changes lost their lives, Janisova said.
She added the bust would stay at the gallery after the exhibition.

Once there was a little girl named Ally, she was 6 years old and LOVED playing dress up. When Ally had the opportunity to go to the mall with her mommy, she would get overwhelmed with excitement and anticipation for what she might see as she passed by the windows. Ally was fascinated by all the colors and textures found in the shoes and clothing, so much so that she made her mom take her into every store so she could gaze at all the "piddy" things. Of all the trips to the mall with her mommy, there was one that she would never forget …
They had taken their usual route around the local mall, when they approached a new little stand in the midst of a cluster of free standing kiosk. This particular stand was dripping in shiny and bedazzled accessories. The top of the kiosk read "The Princess' Jewelry box". Ally stared at the costume jewelry in disbelief as if she had never laid eyes on a more beautiful sight. When she finally peeled her eyes away, she looked at her mom who was smiling at the sight of her child's appreciation for "Bling" and she said "Mommy, I want to be a princess." Ally's mom gave a slight giggle and she said "Well, Ally you are my princess, isn't that enough?" Ally pointed to the kiosk bursting with jewels and with a perplexed look on her face she replied ,"I want to be a princess who wears "piddy" things like that!" In a vast attempt to teach her daughter patience and the value of a dollar, her mom said softly "Ok sweetheart, why don't you pick out your favorite thing and I will buy it for you, but you will have to earn it by doing chores around the house, deal?" Ally quickly blurted out with excitement "DEAL!!!"
Ally she began the quest to find the perfect thing to make her feel like a princess. After what seemed like an eternity, Ally had carefully chosen her precious treasure. It was a strand of perfectly round, off white pearls. As the sales clerk packaged up the necklace, Ally begged her mom to bypass the chores so that she could have it RIGHT THEN! Mom wasn't wavering though, she assured her daughter that the pearls would be on her neck soon enough.
When they got home from the mall, Ally couldn't wait to start her chores so she could go to bed with her new necklace. After a half hour of helping mom put away laundry and brushing the dog, the time had come for her to finally put on her new pearl necklace.
She swept up the back of her hair so her mom could fasten the necklace around her neck. She then ran to the closest mirror so she could admire her most valuable possession. At last… Ally was a princess. When Ally's dad got home, she jumped into his arms talking so fast he could hardly keep up. She was telling him all about "The Princess' Jewelry box". She explained how she picked out the necklace and worked really hard to earn it. He lovingly affirmed his baby girl that she looked lovely in her new jewels. Ally bathed and slept in her pearls that night.
The next day, she showed off her pearls to everyone she encountered. At bedtime the following night, Ally's dad came into her bedroom and sat on the edge of her bed to kiss her goodnight. Still beaming with joy she said, "I love my pearls daddy!" Ally wasn't prepared for what her dad said next.
Ally's daddy softly said to his daughter, " Baby, would you take your pearls off and give them to me?" Ally squealed with disbelief clinching on to her necklace for dear life. She said "No Daddy, why would you want to take my pearls? They are my most favorite thing I have ever had!" Her dad lovingly said, "Ally, do you trust me?" Ally replied " yes daddy, but I can't give you my pearls! I will give you anything else I have, but not my pearls." Her dad smiled and said "Ok sweet girl, I love you, goodnight". The next day came and went and before she knew it, Ally was sitting up in bed again waiting on her dad to come kiss her goodnight. Her dad followed the usual ritual of sitting on the side of the bed and tucking his daughter in. Before he gave her a good night kiss, he said to her "Ally, will you give me your pearls tonight? Less shocked, Ally replied " Dad, you can have my barbie dream house or even my favorite baby doll, but I am sorry you can't have my pearls." Her father looked into her desperate eyes and he said "Ally, do you trust me?" She looked into his eyes and answered, " Yes, Daddy I trust you. But I still can't give you my pearls. I just love them too much. I need them." He smiled and kissed her goodnight.
After a few more nights of resisting her dads' plea for her pearls, Ally had made a decision. It was a Friday night, and her Dad came in to kiss her goodnight. This night was very different than all the rest. She was sitting up in bed with a serious look on her face when he walked in. As he sat on the side of her bed, Ally grabbed for his hand, opening each finger until his palm was exposed. And without a word, she opened her clinched fist, and her precious pearl necklace slid into his hand. She peered in his eyes and with tears rolling down her rosy cheeks, she said "I trust you daddy, and I love you more than my pearls".
Her father had never been more overwhelmed with love for his daughter. It was this moment that he had awaited since the day he held his baby girl in his arms for the 1st time. It was the memory she would take with her forever, that would change everything. He basked in this moment with pride and awe of his brave and selfless little girl.
When he could gather himself together, he scooted closer to Ally, and from behind his back he pulled out a royal blue velvet box. He opened the box, and inside was a real, authentic, expensive pearl necklace. He said to his daughter "Ally, I wanted you to trust me to take your fake pearl necklace and replace it with a real pearl necklace". Ally was overwhelmed with joy, not fully understanding the trade she had made, she said to her daddy "Oh Daddy, thank you, thank you! I get to be a REAL Princess!" Her father replied "yes, my sweet daughter, you are a real princess. And you're worth far surpasses any amount of jewels"!!!
"Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces." ~
Mt 7:6
Pearls have been dear to my heart for years, all the way back to when I was in my early 20′s. I was just pulling myself out of a deeply dark and destructive season of life. I had moved back in with my parents, to remove myself from a home and marriage that was literally destroying me. Over Easter weekend 2006, I had a love encounter with Jesus, and I had just begun a new life pursuing the peace and joy I had longed for. After a few weeks of spending hours in the word and on my knees begging God for the grace that He had already given me, I came to a cross road. I decided that maybe I should let God have the opportunity to restore my marriage. I brought this desire of mine to my parents and asked that they would support me in moving back in with my then husband. My dad was willing to see my point of view, he agreed that maybe the best way to work thru it was for us to be together again. My mom however, well… she wasn't having it at all. She began to grieve at the mere thought of her baby girl being trapped inside that place of death again. She agreed to see our family counselor with my dad to seek advice on this huge decision I was about to make. In the meantime, my sister, who has a ministry for girls called PINC (Purity and Identity in Christ) had a speaking engagement where she would be giving a message to a group of young ladies about "Pearls." This is where it all began…
As she told the above story about the little girl, my mom wept with a heavy heart for me as she knew I was clinging on to the fake and disposable pearls. At the end of the story my sister quoted the scripture "Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces" Matthew 7:6.
As my mom sat in the chair that night she felt the Holy Spirit confirm in her that allowing me to walk back into the situation she had desperately prayed me out of, would be throwing me into a pig pin to be trampled on. She gathered herself after the meeting to go affirm my sister in her beautiful message. She brought with her a gift to give her that would represent this message, not even knowing the impact it would have on her. She pulled out a velvet box, and inside was a real pearl necklace that belonged to my grandmother "Big Mama". My sister was elated to be entrusted with this gift!
On her way home, my dad called and said he had spoke to the counselor and he had squeezed them in that evening, so she headed that direction. All the way to his office, my mom wept with sorrow for me. She knew God could restore our marriage, because he is a big God. She had seen this act of healing first hand in her marriage to my daddy years ago. She wasn't de-validating God's ability, she just had a mothers heart… and it was broken for me. She talked with God the whole way to the appointment, telling Him that He had used scripture to perfectly put into words what she was feeling. She knew in her spirit as my mother and as my covering at the time, releasing me to the dogs was absolutely not the answer. She however knew that God was going to have to make this known to my father and I.
After my dad explained to the counselor that he thought maybe letting us have the freedom to try and put things back together could be the answer, the counselor took a long pause and then said "Well Bob, I am reminded of the verse in Matthew 7:6…" and proceeded to quote the scripture that had already become dear to my moms hurting heart. She closed her eyes and sobbed, knowing that her answer had just been confirmed.
On the way home that night, she was sad that she didn't have another set of pearls to give to me to represent the value she wanted me to see in myself. After getting ready for bed, she went to go put away something and pulled out a drawer she had opened many times. Inside laid a royal blue velvet box. She had never seen this box before, so confused and curious she pulled it out and opened it up. Inside was a strand of real, Mikey Moto pearls. How could this be? She only could remember her mom owning one pearl necklace. Where did this box come from? It couldn't possibly be a coincidence that she would find this box today of all days? My mom was more convinced than ever that it was time to present to me an opportunity to trade in my cheap pearls for the real thing. I made the trade, and almost 10 years later I am living a full life of peace and joy with an amazing husband and a precious baby boy.
As you can see, I have much invested in the value of a pearl. My testimony is truly one that aligns with the very intricate way that a pearl is created. My sister just recently went to Hawaii and while she was there, she found a place where you could hand pick an oyster shell, crack it open and purchase the real pearl inside. When beginning the search for her pearl, the sales lady said, "Make sure you look for the most beaten up shell, that is where you will find the most beautiful pearl". She found an ugly, scratched up shell and inside was a stunning pink pearl. Pink… just for her. The lady told my sister that pink pearls are so very rare, and she couldn't believe that she found one. My sister then decided that she wanted to pick a shell for me as a gift to represent the road we have traveled in our relationship as sisters. So she looked thru the shells again, searching for the ugliest one she could find. She described the shell she chose as "deformed in it's shape with a large crack through the center". They cracked it open and you will never believe what was inside. ANOTHER pink pearl. This pink pearl has an iridescent sheen to it, almost a vintage peachy pink. It was perfect for me, absolutely perfect.
Once again, God used a pearl to speak to my spirit, to breathe life into me and to remind me of my value. You see, it isn't the most beautiful, put together shell that holds the most value. It is the most abused, beat up and broken shell that holds the treasure. The shell that has been through the most turbulence, the biggest storms and the strongest winds, that is the shell that holds the most value and worth inside. In my life I have endured the wrath of many storms and often I have bought into the lie that it is those very mistakes or ugly moments that take away my God given beauty. When I look at the pearl ring on my finger that my sister gave me or the strand of my grandmothers pearls, I am reminded that I have traded in my impostor pearls for the real thing. And it is those deep, dark and ugly places I have been that have shaped and formed me into the person I am today.
When your Father asks you, "Do you trust me?" I hope you will make the trade.
Broken, to the point where it would crumble in your hands. It had no purpose, no destiny and no worth. It was ugly and dirty. After all, it was only a grain of sand. As it lay trapped and confined inside an oyster shell, it began to endure the wrath of the waves. For years and years the turbulence of the sea swept over it and under it, tossing it around as if it didn't even exist. It was beaten, suffocated and yet still forming and growing to be something beautiful. It's purpose becoming more evident as the waves crashed down around it. Inside is a mystery. The color, shape or size is still unknown. Even through the trials it faced, God had plans for this treasure in the making. This vandalized oyster shell has been sustained through the storms and is ready to be revealed. As the shell is opened, the most beautiful, stunning pearl drops out. The perfect shape, rounder than the last. The best size, bigger than the rest. The most beautiful color, brighter than the next. It was perfectly imperfect. No two pearls are just alike, each one has endured its own struggles to be shaped into God's perfect design. Just the same, we as Gods children have a purpose filled destiny. We will endure our own storms that will shape us into the beautiful treasure God has called us to be. And it is the variation of struggles we have overcome that will be used to encourage someone to persevere through their own personal beating. When we can recognize that the waves and the winds are what makes us so valuable, we will be able to proudly speak out and spread this message. God allows us to endure pain, but He surely makes something beautiful from our mess. As we search for what is inside of our shell, let us remember that no matter what the shape or size, it is real. It is priceless. It is God's perfect design. Let's embrace the challenges we face, allowing God to use them to bring Him glory. Some of us have thrown our pearls to the pigs, it is never too late to crawl in that pin and take back what is rightfully ours. No matter how deep we have to dig, or how dirty we get digging… the value of our pearls, the value in us, is worth the fight to let God redeem the treasure in us.

Sounds like a great idea, no? Well, I gave it that extra little push, and it still stopped anyway. Irritated, I gave it an extra-strong little push. The damn thing popped off its track on the upper-left side, and refused to move at all, either direction, completely stuck. I went in the garage through the human-sized door in the back, disabled the automatic opener, and started struggling with the door, trying to get the little wheel thingy in the upper corner back onto its track.
The door is huge. It's only a single-car garage, but obviously even a door to accommodate a single car is way bigger than I am. The door is not sectioned; it is made of one enormous piece of metal and is incredibly heavy; I don't even know how much it weighs. I wouldn't be able to move it at all I'm sure, if it weren't on springs. Even so, it's unstable and unwieldy since the one side is off its track.
I just spent a good 30 minutes struggling with the door, to no avail. I tried standing on my ladder, and trying to wiggle the wheel back into its track. I tried standing below, kicking and lifting the door simultaneously, trying to angle it back in. I moved it up and down, having all kinds of horrific visions of it falling down on top of me, but it stayed stubbornly out of the track.
I used to be afraid of this door. I was always sure it was on the verge of collapsing on me. One good thing about this evening's struggle is that I am no longer afraid of it. Now I'm pretty sure it won't fall. I am just pissed.
At one point, I decided that if I got the door fully open, I could maybe try it from a new angle. So, huffing and puffing, kicking and pulling, I lifted the door open. Unfortunately when it's not in its track, it's not balanced right to just stay open, even when fully up. Once I got it raised, I was holding the bottom of the door up over my head, but it was the top of the door, a full garage-door's length away, that I needed to work on. No way to reach it without letting go of the bottom of the door. I got over to one side, pushed the edge up as far as it would go, trying to get it to stick open. It would almost pause, then start wobbling downwards. There's a rope attached to the bottom, so I grabbed it and pulled the rope toward the inside of the garage, to keep it balanced open. Pulling hard provided just enough balance that the door stopped moving, so I started walking inside. My theory was to climb up the ladder holding the rope, then grab the top of the door, balance it, and start trying to work the damn wheel into its track.
Then the rope broke. The door came crashing down. Fortunately it was still in track on the right side, so it still followed its appointed path, just way faster than it was supposed to. I had brief visions of trying to slow or stop it, then decided that was pure lunacy. So I jumped back and watched it fall, cringing. The noise was incredible: I'm surprised my neighbors did not come charging out of their houses, wielding firearms and crying babies, demanding to know what had happened. Nobody did, but now the door is firmly stuck in the down position, and it is still just as off-track as it ever was.
By this time I was sick of the whole thing, sore and tired, and hated my garage door with a passion. I glared at it, while it stayed smugly down, then turned off the light and went indoors. This is one of the frustrating things about living alone: some tasks would probably be a lot easier with another person helping. I'll have to scrounge up an assistant who is also not afraid of garage doors, and see if between the two of us we can get the darn thing wrestled back into place.
Tomorrow morning, I will probably have to scrape ice off my car, as it will be spending the night unprotected, just a few feet away from a nice car-sized shelter.

Digital learning and technology have revolutionized not only the way we live but also the way we upgrade our skills. There is a constant need for education and technology to collaborate in order to adapt to the evolving needs of the job market.
The Indian online education market is expected to touch USD 1.96 billion by 2021 as per a KPMG report, which would make it one of the largest education markets in the world. Reskilling and online certification being the largest categories.
Classroom-based learning gave way to digital learning, which evolved in the previous decade itself. This made life easier for both tutors and tutored. The Elearning industry in India has been witnessing a prolific growth rate fuelled by the phenomenal increase in the paid user base for online education.
Even employers in today's job market prefer to upskill their existing workforce rather than hiring new employees. For a person who wants to upgrade his/her skills, e-learning courses are the best option. Online certifications in the key areas enhance job opportunities and knowledge. Advanced qualification in one's domain will help climb a step or two up the career ladder.
It may also qualify an individual for new job openings. MOOC/MOOV (Massive Open Online Courses/Varsity) offer free courses in various fields. For topical learning, webinars, podcasts and live online events are available. Social media is the best way to track industry thought leaders and the latest advancements.
Where reskilling and online certifications are concerned, technical certifications are the most popular. The reskilling and upskilling requirements of the working population in India are driving this category. Online MBAs, Data Analytics, Project Management, Marketing, Strategic Planning are some of the most sought softer online courses.
Traditional learning platforms are limited in their efficacy in this regard. The focus has shifted from textbooks to real-life learning, from sequential learning to learning continuum. We live in times of instant gratification and real-time feedback.
Elearning assisted with Artificial Intelligence enables personalised content curation & creation based on the interests and requirements. Tracking progress, adapting to different student learning speeds and providing insights to instructors is now possible with AI-based tutoring. The need of the hour is a workforce that has digital fluency, can think out of the box and can solve problems.
Educational institutions in India are adopting new-age technology platforms which help in assessing the performance of teachers, students and institutions. ICT (Information & Communication Technology) classrooms, the latest developments in Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality are being integrated into the field of education. High on the popularity charts are cloud-based platforms that help classrooms go paperless.
Huge entrepreneurship opportunities have been generated, owing to the launch of several IT related platforms. Many educational startups have come into existence with new and improved versions of e-learning modules in line with the demands of the students.
Technology is an enabler. It needs to be handled with the responsibility to draw on its advantages. In the coming decade, it is foreseen that India will see the far-reaching transformation which will be driven by digital learning and technology-based education.
