Teenager faints after conviction for killing boyfriend
Friday 12 February 2010
A sixth-former accused of fatally stabbing her boyfriend in the heart hours after collecting her A-level results screamed and fainted as she was found guilty of manslaughter today.
Katherine McGrath, 19, of Brackla, Bridgend, south Wales, plunged a steak knife into the heart of boyfriend Alyn Thomas, 22, in a single thrust which proved fatal, the court was told.
Roger Thomas QC, prosecuting, told jurors that McGrath killed Mr Thomas during an argument after a night out drinking with friends but she was cleared of murder earlier today.
It took the six-man, six-woman jury more than 10 hours to clear McGrath of murder but convict her of manslaughter.
As the verdict was read out, McGrath screamed then fainted as her family and friends sobbed, and Mr Thomas's family embraced.
John Charles Rees QC, defending, said McGrath produced the knife to scare off Mr Thomas when he became aggressive and she had not meant to hurt him.
Mr Rees said: "There is no doubt there was a sudden eruption of violence but why should Miss McGrath suddenly become the aggressor and attack Mr Thomas?"
He told Cardiff Crown Court Mr Thomas had two convictions for assault and asked jurors: "Who is the more likely to become aggressive? To take part in an unprovoked attack in drink?"
He said the single 2.5cm stab wound, lack of bruising around the incision and lack of evidence of great force being used supported the claim his client had not intentionally killed Mr Thomas.
He said the couple were engaged in a physical struggle, during which their bodies were close together and because the skin on the chest is tight, the knife would have slid in "like a knife through butter".
The wounds McGrath sustained when she claimed Mr Thomas bit her on the thumb during the confrontation were further evidence of his aggression, he added.
Mr Thomas QC said essential parts of McGrath's explanation of self defence were "misleading" and added: "There is no justification for taking hold of what was a weapon, a steak knife, and using it to kill Alyn Thomas."
During the trial the jury heard McGrath's 999 call in which she told the operator: "He's my boyfriend and he like came and attacked me and I didn't know what to do."
She also told the operator he pushed her to the floor and spat at her and tried to hit her.
The court was told McGrath had got a place at university through the clearing system on the day of the A Level results and Mr Thomas had told a friend he was worried she would meet somebody else while away from home.
Mr Rees said: "A young man's emotions can be complex in a relationship with a young woman. Jealousy and possessiveness are just below the surface."
He said Mr Thomas, 22, already did not trust McGrath and suspected she had been unfaithful and his concerns had been exacerbated when she collected her exam results and got a place at university.
He denied McGrath was jealous her boyfriend had accepted drinks from a colleague who worked with him at Tesco on the night he died.
Mr Thomas, of Cymmer, near Neath, died in hospital after being stabbed in the kitchen of McGrath's detached family home in the early hours of August 21 last year.
In a statement read by family liaison officer Detective Constable Rebecca Merchant outside court, Mr Thomas's family said they were "shocked and dismayed" that McGrath declined to face questioning under oath "so we will never know exactly what transpired on that fatal morning".
They added: "Alyn was a very loving and caring soul, and was loved and respected by so many people of various ages.
"Alyn left footprints on your heart, even after the briefest encounter, because his love for life was so infectious.
"During the short time Alyn was on this earth his worth was measured by his numerous true friends and respect he had earned, wealth that money or material possessions cannot buy.
"As parents, we are so proud to have created such a beautiful and well-loved person as our Al.
"Even though Kat has destroyed our creation she cannot take away the 22 years we had him with us, and the many cherished memories to remember him by.
"That is Alyn's legacy, left to all who truly loved him.
"God bless you Alyn, your spirit will live on in our hearts."

What's the Goal and Point of National Biofuel Regulation?
While preparing a lecture for the 4th Berkeley Summer School in Environmental and Energy Economics, I returned to contemplating the regulation of biofuels as part of a federal strategy to combat climate change and increase energy security. If we review policy approaches for increasing the share of biofuels in the transportation fuels supply across this great land, there are three main approaches. We have subsidies for the production of ethanol and biodiesel, renewable fuels standards (RFS) and low carbon fuels standards (LCFS).
The two main tools employed at the federal level are subsidies, which essentially provide a per gallon payment for producing a gallon of a certain type of biofuel, and renewable fuels standards, which require the production of different classes and quantities of biofuels over a prescribed time path. California has employed a low carbon fuel standard, whose goal it is to decrease the average carbon content of California's gasoline by prescribed percentages over time. It relies on life cycle calculations for the carbon content of different fuels and allows producers to choose a mix of different fuels, which decrease the average carbon content, thus providing more flexibility in terms of fuels compared to the RFS.
If I were elected the social planner, I would recognize that I am most likely not smarter than the market, but also would not trust the market to make the right decisions when it comes to carbon reductions (see the demonstrated record of markets since 1850). The standard way an economist would approach the problem, assuming that we know what the right amount of carbon abatement is, is to set a cap on emissions and issue tradable rights to pollute (a cap and trade). This would in theory lead to the desired level of emissions reductions at least cost. While preparing for my lecture, I was thinking I should set up a simple model where profit-maximizing producers of fuels face different policy constraints (e.g., subsidies, RFS, LCFS or a cap and trade), a reasonable demand curve and my giant computer. As so often happens to many of us environmental and energy economists, EI@Haas' all-star team captain Chris Knittel (MIT) and coauthors had already written the paper, which is titled "Unintended Consequences of Transportation Carbon Policies: Land-Use, Emission, and Innovation".
[Skip this paragraph if you are not a fan of wonk]. The paper, which is a great and relatively quick read, simulates the consequences of the 2022 US RFS, current ethanol subsidies and constructs a fictional national LCFS and cap-and-trade (CAT) system, which are calibrated to achieve the same savings as the RFS. The paper assumes profit-maximizing firms which either face no policy, the RFS, subsidies, LCFS or CAT. Using an impressive county level dataset on agricultural production and waste, the authors set out to construct supply curves for corn ethanol and six different types of cellulosic ethanol. Chris' daisy chained Mac Pros then maximize profits of the individual firms by choosing plant location, production technology, and output conditional on fuel price, biomass resources, conversion and transportation costs. Changing fuel prices and re-optimizing gets them county level supply curves. Assuming a perfectly elastic supply of gasoline and a constant elasticity demand curve for transportation fuels, they solve for market equilibria numerically.
They use the results to compare the consequences of each policy type for a variety of measures we might care about. Here is what happens:
The CAT leads to the greatest increase in gas prices and largest decrease in fuel consumption. It leads to no additional corn ethanol production and slight increases in second-generation biofuels. The RFS and LCFS both lead to less than half the price increase and fuel reduction compared to the CAT. Both policies see a four to nine fold increase in corn ethanol production relative to no policy and a massive ramp up in second generation biofuels production. All three measures lead to the same reductions in carbon emissions. The subsidies leave fuel costs constant, do not change fuel consumption and lead to a massive increase in first and second generation biofuels, but only achieve two thirds of the carbon reductions compared to the other policies (which is due to the authors using current subsidy rates rather than artificially higher ones which would lead to the same carbon savings).
Biofuels lead to lower gas prices and equivalent carbon savings! This is the point, where biofuels cheerleaders scream "everything is awesome!" But this ain't a Lego movie. Especially since Legos are not made from corn. The paper evaluates the policies along a number of dimensions. First, compare the abatement cost curves for the CAT and the LCFS. When it comes to marginal abatement cost curves, the flatter, the better. What we see in the paper is a radically steeper marginal abatement cost curve from the LCFS compared to the CAT. In equilibrium the marginal abatement cost for the LCFS is almost five times higher that of the CAT. What about those emissions reductions? What happens in practice is that the CAT leads to higher emissions reductions from reduced fuel consumption (by driving less or more efficient cars) and a little bit of fuel switching. For the LCFS there is much more fuel switching and not much less driving.
What about land use? Well, since the non CAT policies incentivize ethanol production, significant amounts of crop and marginal lands will be pulled into production.
The paper shows that total land use for energy crops goes up about ten fold under the biofuels policies and only by about 30% under the CAT. The paper calculates that damages from erosion and habitat loss from these policies can reach up to 20% of the social cost of carbon compared to essentially 0% for the CAT.
Further, ethanol policies create the wrong incentives for innovation, where in some settings the incentives are too strong and in others they are too weak. A further aspect of the paper, which is incredibly clever, is that they show the cost of being wrong in terms of the carbon intensity (e.g., you get the indirect land use effect wrong, which is almost certainly the case) of different fuels can lead to massive amounts of uncontrolled emissions. The carbon damage consequences of being wrong by 10% in terms of the emissions intensity of corn ethanol are an order of magnitude (read 10 times!) the number for the cap and trade. Before I wonk you to death, I will close with some more general thoughts, but staffers of carbon regulators should read this paper. Now.
What this work shows is that in the case of biofuels setting a simple universal policy, which lets market participants choose the least cost ways of finding emissions reductions, is vastly preferred to complex renewable fuels or low carbon fuels standards. While I understand that producers of ethanol enjoy their subsidies (much like I enjoy my home interest mortgage deduction), this paper argues that they are a bad deal for society. And so is the RFS, as would be a national LCFS. As we go ahead and design a national carbon policy, I would hope that we take the lessons from this paper and the decades of environmental economics insight it builds upon to heart. This does not say that first or second generation biofuels are a bad idea, but if they want to compete for emissions reductions, they need to be fully cost competitive with other and currently lower cost emissions reductions alternatives.

Brian Donovan says:Only wastes and "waste land" should be used for energy and fuels. that's the rule you need. Corn ethanol was and is a disasters, starving people in the third world and wrecking cars in the USA for about a net zero gain energy tech. Waste pyrolysis/biochar has a EROI of around 25. We pay to dump it. How stupid are we? Sustainable civilization MUST fully recycle their junk. We need waste to energy fuels and raw materials to backup solar and wind.

This discussion needs to happen, and not just about biofuels. All the various thumbs on scales for favorite technologies (aka crony capitalism) have to go.
Rick Engebretson says:
I don't know how economic modeling of policy might include different variables. But the growth of ever larger farms and depopulation of rural areas is a self reinforcing problem. The only economic farming is big machines, big capital, big technology, big input, big land, and no people. On a trip through Montana one might see endless farm fields of wheat, and a typical farmstead with everything EXCEPT A HOUSE for people.
Human labor matters when culling a forest of sick, mature, or dead trees. Etc. When farms get "too big to fail" and government bailouts are part of decision making, who needs biofuel subsidies??
My sense is we need many, many more innovative young farmers, and many fewer government policies as they are now configured. I'm glad people like you are out there asking questions like the above.

New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung (Newspaper) - July 18, 1997, New Braunfels, Texas HeraldZeltung Q Friday July O 3A Mans secret taste for porn undermines his wifes trust Dear Abby Im writing in response to A Perplexed who twice surprised her 73yearold husband while he was watching pornographic movies I went through a similar experience with my ex husband who often stayed at home from work sick to watch these movtes When 1 first discovered he was sneaking them into our home 1 wasnt concerned about it I considered it his personal As time progressed however I realized these movies were taking the place of our sex life and were undermining my trust in him because he always watched them behind my back I later learned his hobby Texas Briefs By The Associated Press Compromise ends clash between farmers and highway officials WACO Texas AP A group of farmers and the Texas Department of Transportation have resolved a bitter dispute about what to do with crops that had been planted in the rightof way of a farm road outside Waco The compromise reached Thursday calls for the state to wait until next week to begin mowing along the road That will give the farmers time o harvest the portion of their crop that is in the rightofway The issue came to front earlier this week because of a relatively new DOT policy to mow a 30foot easement on the side of state roads for safety purposes Mowers have traditionally avoided crops that were planted too close to the road mowing contractor Davis said But DOT officials last week ordered each side of the road mowed Milk cartons half empty not half full Ferry says ByPEQQYRKAC Associated Press Writer AUSTIN AP Texans buying a gallon of milk at the grocery store have a 5050 chance of getting as much as they paid for and the odds are worse in school cafeterias Agriculture Commissioner Rick Perry says Its just a sip here and a swallow there about an ounce short per gallon on average according to a random survey but it adds up If shortages found in 15 schools hold true statewide it would mean more than a million loss to the lunch program alone Perry said Thursday Thats the equivalent of more than 4 million half pints Were talking about more than just a drop in the old milk he said State officials are conducting training sessions for milk processors to try to ensure consumers arent shortchanged in the future If future spot checks find similar discrepancies processors could face civil penalties and fines Perry said Texas surveyed the 15 schools and four supermarkets in April and early May as part of a 20state study requested by the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Agriculture Nationally more than 40 percent of the groups of packages inspected contained less than claimed on their labels according to the federal report Texas record on milk was worse There was nearly a 60 percent failure rate on school cafeteria inspections and 50 percent in supermarkets The state also found some failures in testing juice but it was not close to the level in milk containers Perry said While the states sample was tiny Perry said he believes it is accurate citing the similar findings nationwide Perry said Texas recently has adopted national measurement standards and part of the reason for the discrepancy could be stricter testing methods Susan Ruland of the Milk Industry Foundation in Washington whose members package about 85 percent the nations milk said the industry is working with federal and state officials on an education program extended to visiting booths with live female performers during his lunch breaks Our couple counselor had given us the same advice you gave perplexed that many people enjoy Watching pornographic movies and I should not make an issue of the conclusion 1 reached was that it was an issue when it began to interfere with our sex life and my trust ih him I dont think watching pornography is wrong I watch it from time to time with my current partner as part of a very satisfying sex life I do think thefact that Perplexeds husband watches these movies secretively indicates there may be cause for concern If she feels it takes away from her intimate relationship with her husband then its an issue they both should address and the sooner the better EXPERPLEXED IN FORT COLLINS COLO Dear ExPerplexed Thank you for an intelligent letter Although Perplexed did not indicate that her husband used pornography in the past to arouse himself the point you raise about his secrecy is an important one For a woman to find she has been shut out of a portion of her spouses sex life can be

taken from the scene The children ranging in age from 6 to 15 were among about 500 children at the park participating in city sponsored youth recreation programs FBI Investigates letter turned In by

AlbaGolden school district the Tyler Morning Telegraph reported Ginger Motley a member of the AlbaGolden school board was actively involved in getting an attorney generals investigation and

Zapped: Why Your Cell Phone Shouldn't Be Your Alarm Clock and 1,268 Ways to Outsmart the Hazards of Electronic Pollutionby Ann Louise Gittleman
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
How many electronic innovations have you dialed, watched, surfed, charged, listed to, booted up, commuted on, cooked with, and plugged in today?
Consider your typical day: If you're like most people, it probably starts in front of your coffee maker and toaster, ends as you set the alarm on your cell phone, and involves no end of computers and gadgets, televisions and microwaves in between.
We're being zapped: Today 84 percent of Americans own a cell phone, 89 million of us watch TV beamed in by satellite, and we can't sip a cup of coffee at our local café without being exposed to Wi-Fi. The very electronic innovations that have changed our lives are also exposing us, in ways big and small, to an unprecedented number of electromagnetic fields. Invisible pollution surrounds us twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, interrupting our bodies' natural flow of energy. And for some, that pollution has reached the point of toxicity, causing fatigue, irritability, weakness, and even illness.
But we don't have to simply surrender. Ann Louise Gittleman brings forth the latest research into electro-magnetic fields to create this groundbreaking guide for every citizen of the wireless age. With the proactive, levelheaded approach that has made her one of our most respected health experts, she not only clarifies the risks but also offers specific, step-by-step information for how anyone can minimize them. From where you place your sofa to when you use your cell phone to what you eat for dinner, Zapped is packed with strategies for avoiding and mitigating the damaging effects of electropollution.
As she examines modern life room by room, device by device, Gittleman reveals a master plan for detoxifying your surroundings and protecting yourself and your family.
We don't need to abandon our homes—or even give up our PDAs—to be healthier and happier. Based on the latest scientific data, case studies, and Gittleman's years of clinical practice, Zapped is an empowering guide to living safely with the gadgets we can't live without.
Gittleman delivers the first comprehensive, user-friendly guide that consolidates the latest research with a powerhouse, step-by-step guide to counteract the invisible hazards of everyday electromagnetic exposure from such things as cell phones and Wi-Fi.
A groundbreaking exposé of the hidden truths of electropollution, Zapped is the first comprehensive, step-by-step guide to counteracting the invisible hazards of everyday electromagnetic exposure. Award-winning author, nutritionist, and First for Women magazine columnist Ann Louise Gittleman combines the best of energy medicine with the latest scientific research in a user-friendly powerhouse designed to safeguard you and your family. Following her New York Times bestselling books on weight loss (The Fat Flush Plan; Fat Flush for Life) and perimenopause (Before the Change), Gittleman offers another vital, pioneering work of health science for the new century.
About the Author
Ann Louise Gittleman, PhD., C.N.S., is the author of more than a dozen health books, including the bestselling Fat Flush Plan. Her books have sold over 3 million copies. Ann Louise has been named one of the country's Top Ten Nutritionists by Self Magazine and has also been named a Pioneer in the 21st Century Approach to Optimum Health by Total Health for Longevity Magazine.

The Nationals have asked permission to interview Joe Girardi
Oct 4, 2013, 9:39 AM EDT
Know who the happiest guy in the world is right now? Joe Girardi's agent. Because he has not one, not two, but three job openings that Girardi could plausibly jump at in Cincinnati, Washington and Chicago, and thus his leverage is only increasing.
Against that backdrop:

Kaplan thinks that if Girardi goes anywhere it'd be Chicago. If I had to guess I'd say he stays in New York. But it's nice to have options.

You can see other short FAQ videos from the Christians Get Depressed Too video series here or view five feature length documentaries here.
In the previous tip I I tried to persuade you as to Why you should take lecture notes.
"OK, but How?"
Glad you asked. Here are ten tips to help you get those fingers smoking.
1. Name and organize your files and folders
There's no point in taking notes if you can't find them weeks or months later just before exam time. So have a separate folder for each subject, and maybe a separate folder for each module within that subject folder.
I name my files like this: Date-Title-Initials. So for example, I'd name the file containing this tip: 140901-HowNoteTaking-DPM. That helps me keep my notes in chronological order, but the summary title also helps me to see what's in the file without having to open it. I like to put my initials on files so that if I'm working on a shared project I can distinguish my files from others.
2. Date and title the lecture at the top of the page.
This is helpful for when you print out your notes. If your Word processing software will let you include the file name and date in the header or footer, then this too will help you keep track of printed lectures.
3. Number the pages
If you ever print off your notes, your binder fails, and your papers start billowing all over campus, you'll wish you had done this.
4. Set your Word processor to auto-save
We've all done it – once. We've been working on a document for over an hour when Word freezes, or we forget to save, or our thumb hits delete. Noooooooooooo! So set your word-processing software to save every 3-5 minutes to make sure that the most you can lose is a few minutes work.
5. Summarize as you go
I know yesterday I encouraged you to take extensive notes, but that doesn't mean you need to write out every word. That's impossible. Err on the side of too much initially, but try to develop the ability of summarizing the lesson as you go. That's actually a much better way to start learning the material than to try and type out everything word for word.
6. Outline the lecture
Most teachers today realize the importance of structure and will either be following one on Powerpoint or via a handout. If not, you need to work hard at making your own outline of the lecture. Again many Word processors like Word will let you take notes in Outline format and some options like Workflowy are specialized tools for outlining. Most outlines go like this:
A. Sub point
1. Sub-sub-point
2. Sub-sub point
B. Sub point
You can see that it's not just different numbers but different indents and emphasis that are used as well (I also use a consistent color highlighting scheme for each level of indent). Leave a space between lines to make reading easier on your eyes.
Develop your own preferences but whatever you decide, keep that uniform for all lectures and you'll train your brain to think like this and develop strong pegs to hang all the information on in small, accessible, and memorable packets. Far better than a big glob of undifferentiated information that your hands cannot get round or hold.
7. Note quotation sources and further reading
Sometimes teachers will quote someone else at length. Instead of trying to write down the whole quote and burn your fingers in the process, take a note of the book, author, and page number for future reference. If you can summarize the quote, all the better. Also note any direction for further reading. Perhaps you could ask the teacher to provide the quotes in a Word document for you to paste into your notes.
8. Highlight any gaps or confusion
Sometimes you will not be able to keep up with a teacher or you will not understand something she said. Take down what you can and put a note in the margin either to follow up with the teacher afterwards or compare notes with a fellow-student.
9. Review the lecture
I'm going to talk about study techniques in a later tip, but suffice to say that at the earliest opportunity after the lecture, while it's still fresh in your mind, you should read through your notes to fill in anything you didn't get down in class. If there are parts of the lecture without any outline or structure, work hard to outline it as much as you can. That's going to be invaluable at exam time.
10. File the lecture
As I explained before, Dropbox ensures you won't lose all your data if your computer crashes. But I also like to print out the lecture as well and put it in a ring-binder. That's probably the oldie in me, but I do like to see some physical visible results for my labors!
Here's an article on the Best Apps for Note-taking.

New Student Tip #9: The Why of Note-taking
Thriving at College by Alex Chediak (for students)
Preparing Your Teens For College by Alex Chediak (for parents of students)
Note-taking begins with a big question: "Why?"
Why take notes in lectures?
It may seem an easy question with an obvious answer but once you ask it, you'll realize that there are a few possible answers and that your answer will determine how you take notes. Lets ask three students why they take notes:
Student 1: Because the teacher is teaching it.
Some vainly try to write down everything a teacher says. While erring on writing too much is better than writing too little, try to acquire the valuable skill of knowing what to write down and what to simply listen to. That will give you time to think about what's being taught rather than just being a typist. It will also save you from RSI.
Student 2: To pass an exam
If exam success is why you are taking notes, then you'll only want to take notes on lectures and parts of lectures that are examinable. You will try to find out from the syllabus or the teacher what will be in the exam and then take notes only when exam content is being taught. At other times you will probably switch off.
Student 3: To expand my knowledge
If this is your motive then you will take far more notes than student #2 but less than student #1. You realize that you are paying for an education, not just exam results, and therefore you will gather as much valuable information as you can in as efficient a way as possible. This student also recognizes that taking notes rather than just reading handouts and course books is one of the best ways to cement knowledge in the memory.
Obviously I hope you will be student #3, but let me add a few more motives to make this choice than just getting value for money or preparing for your career.
Motive 1: Respect for the teacher
It is unquestionably one of the most demoralizing aspects of teaching for a lecturer to pour 10-20 hours into preparing a lecture only to see a couple of students writing or typing while the rest either slouch in their chairs or text and chat online. He or she may not be the best teacher in the world but they are usually trying their very best and it's basic human decency to show you value them and their work by actually typing at least some of what they say.
Motive 2: Acknowledge your inexperience
Most teachers don't teach just to bore you or to occupy their time. They actually believe what they are teaching is important and useful, even vital. It may not seem relevant or helpful to you, but then teachers have been around quite a bit longer than most students and have learned through experience what's going to help you down the road. I've lost count of the number of tiimes I've been emailed by students a few years later to ask for help with something that they did not pay attention to when in class.
Motive 3: Learn how to teach
So, the content is not exactly scintillating, but what about the teacher's teaching style? Is it something you can learn from – to copy or avoid? No matter what career we choose, we will all eventually teach someone something; most likely in a group setting too. Learn from the teacher's good example and also his or her mistakes.
Motive 4: Strengthen self-discipline
Although teachers are increasingly banning laptops or wireless internet service from their classes, the temptation to check the Internet is still there for most students, even if only on their cell phones. But this is where good and bad habits are learned. If you get into the bad habit of continually checking social media or doing email when someone else is talking, you'll carry that into other relationships too, and into your later career, which will damage your relationships and eventually your career prospects. Lectures, especially boring ones, are good training grounds for developing valuable listening skills especially for the innumerable boring meetings you'll have to attend throughout your life.
That's the Why? Next the How?

Seven tips and you haven't had to pay a cent yet!
Sorry to spoil your student paradise, but you'll have to pay for this one. However, it's a small price to pay considering the potential cost if you don't.
The greatest danger for most students today is the Internet. Yes, it's brought a lot of benefits and pluses into our lives as we've seen in the previous seven tips. But there are also downsides, and one of them is Internet pornography.
Of course pornography has always been a temptation, but what's changed with the Internet is:
Because of the above, many more people have accessed porn through curiosity, by accident, or by being targeted with it, resulting in many more people and a much wider range of people becoming addicted.
"But what's the big deal?" many ask. "Where's the harm in a little bit of porn?" Here's the big deal; here's the harm.
1. It's a sin. According to Jesus, it is breaking the seventh commandment (Matt. 5:27-30).
2. It could send you to hell. See Jesus again (Matt. 5:27-30).
3. It's hating your neighbor. If people didn't watch it, people wouldn't make it. If you view it, you are helping to create it. You are creating temptation danger for others, but also destroying the lives of those involved in making it, often against their wills.
4. It weakens the will: If you succumb to this, you will succumb to other sins too.
5. It weakens spirituality: Due to guilt, porn users cannot expect communion with God, delight in prayer, enjoyment in the Word, or spiritual growth.
6. It destroys usefulness: Few porn users are zealous or sacrificial in Christ's service. Like other addictions is is a costly distraction that will adversely impact every area of your life, including your career.
7. It perverts your view of women/men: You will find it virtually impossible to look at any woman/man without lustful thoughts.
8. It will spoil sex: If you are an unmarried porn user, you are already undermining your future marriage by storing up perverse images and practices that will soil and spoil the most intimate moments.
9. It may end your marriage: 50% of Christian divorces cite porn use as the reason. "Gutted!" is the word heard most from broken and betrayed wives. "Gutted!" Think about that.
10. It will never leave you: Porn is sticky. Unlike other experiences it is not easily forgotten. Many ex-porn users will tell you that it's virtually impossible to eradicate what they have viewed from their memories.
Given the availability, accessibility, danger, and wrongness of porn, we need help to stop it reaching us and to stop us reaching it. That's where Covenant Eyes comes in. It's a Christian company whose service is built upon Job 31:1 "I have made a covenant with my eyes; Why then should I look upon a young woman?"
Once Covenant Eyes is installed on all computers and mobile devices, you will benefit from the following services:
Internet Accountability: Covenant Eyes monitors the websites visited, the search terms used, and the YouTube videos watched, and lists them in an easy-to-read report for each user name. This is then sent to your chosen Accountability partner to start a conversation about healthy online habits.
Internet Filtering: This blocks inappropriate web content based on age-appropriateness. You can even create custom block and allow lists, or block the Internet completely at certain times of day.
This costs $9.99 per month for individual users or $13.99 for a family account which lets you have as many user accounts as you want. Yes, $9.99 per month is quite hefty for a student, but on the other hand, think of the cost if you do fall into temptation and become a porn addict. Maybe you can persuade you parents to take out a family account to cover you and your siblings. Personally, I believe it's an essential part of parenting to cover each family member with a service like this.
And remember this is not just about porn – there are many other Internet dangers we need protection from. Also, positively, this is about building good Internet habits and regulating time spent online in a disciplined accountable way.
Maybe you don't want Dad or Mom to see your Internet choices. That itself may be a warning sign. However, you can choose other people to be your accountability partner – a mature friend or an elder in your church maybe. My wife is mine and I am hers.
For more detailed help, see The Porn-Free Family Plan from Tim Challies or my Top 10 Books on Fighting Porn, where you will find much Gospel hope if you are already ensnared.

Blogs and websites have largely taken over from newspapers and magazines as sources of news, opinion, and articles on current issues. As a student who wants to learn constantly, pray knowledgeably, and witness effectively you will want to be reading a wide selection of the best blogs and websites.
Time Waster?
But how do you do this? Do you have to visit multiple sites every day? That's a tiresome time-waster that you won't keep up for long.
Instead, you want to use a Blog/Website Reader like Feedly which you can access via your browser or via an App on your phone or Apple Mac. Once you've signed up for this free service, you can immediately and easily start subscribing to blogs and websites so that any fresh content is sent automatically into Feedly for you to read, bookmark, or share via Social Media. You simply enter the name of the blog or website in the Feedly search bar and from the search results you choose what to subscribe to.
I subscribe to over a hundred blogs and websites, which would take me a couple of hours to get round every day to check for new articles. But using Feedly, I can spend about 20 minutes skimming over the headlines and article summaries and pick the ones I want to read, bookmark, or share.
Where do I start?
That still leaves you with the big question of which blogs, etc. Feedly offers you a number of categories to browse for the best blogs in various subject areas. But to help you get started, I've attached a screenshot below of my Feedly subscriptions to give you some suggestions to start with. This also demonstrates the value of another feature on Feedly – the ability to organize your subscriptions into categories so that you can choose what to read based on the time you have available or what you are looking for. I have four categories:
For the sake of space and usefulness to you, I've only included the first two categories in the screenshot. Why not pick 10-20 of them from from column 1 (Christian Blogs 1) to get started and then gradually add more if you are finding you can do this in a time-efficient manner. While you need to exercise discernment in all your reading, there are some blogs in the second column (Christian Blogs 2) that need to be read with greater discernment.

A WOMAN has described how a dog caused mayhem on the A2 yesterday afternoon (FEB 19) for around 30 minutes by almost jumping on to the road from a bridge.
Members of the public, including Melanie Jenkins, 45, tried to get hold of the crazy canine, described as a brown lurcher-greyhound cross, but it looked like it might bite them so they backed off.
Police were called and traffic was stopped while they rescued the animal, which is now being looked after by officers.
One of the eyewitnesses has described how several people jumped out of their cars and desperately tried to rescue the "starving" dog before police arrived with one lorry driver trying to entice it with food.
'People were jumping out of their cars to help'
Ms Jenkins, from Sevenoaks, was travelling to visit her parents in Gravesend when she got caught up in the debacle.
She told News Shopper: "At around 4pm as I was joining the A2 from the slip road in Gravesend the traffic suddenly stopped and I then saw the dog running past me.
"Someone jumped out of their car and it must have spooked the dog as it then ran back up the slip road.
"People were jumping out of their cars and pulling their cars to one side to try and stop the dog but it seem really scared so it just ran back down the slip road and along the grass verge next to the hard shoulder.
"Some of us tried to head it off and jumped out to try and catch it.
"At one point a lorry driver virtually had it pinned between the lorry and the verge but I think it bit him and it managed to get away. We all jumped back into our cars and caught up with it on the bridge."
The lorry driver tried to tempt the animal to safety with some food.
Ms Jenkins said: "He did his best to entice the dog back by offering it food, it seem starving but he just couldn't get the lead onto the dog because every time he tried the dog looked like it was going to bit him again."
"I was there for half an hour whilst the lorry driver passed food to entice the dog down but the dog just wouldn't let him put a lead on.
"Then the police decided to open one lane of the A2 and asked anyone who wasn't directly involved to leave which we all reluctantly did.
"I was worried about it as my friend had a beautiful dog who sadly escaped from the house and was run over on the A2, so all I could think about was this could be a well-loved dog who would be really missed if anything happened to it."
'The dog indicated he was going to bite them'
A Kent Police spokesman said: "We were called at 4.20 pm to reports a dog looked like it was going to jump from a bridge onto the A2 London-bound at Gravesend.
"Members of the public had tried to get close to the dog but the dog indicated he was going to bite them.
"Officers stopped the traffic temporarily so they could get to the dog safely.
"The dog was caught and is currently being looked after by officers. Traffic resumed soon after."

Europe Trying To Convince U.S To Obtain Security Council Resolution Against Settlements
Nimir Hammad, Political Advisor to President Mahmoud Abbas, stated that several European Countries are exerting efforts meant at convincing the United States to obtain a serious resolution at the United Nations General Assembly to prevent Israel from continuing its illegal settlement activities.
Last Wednesday, the United States foiled several attempts by Security Council member countries meant at issuing a resolution condemning Israel for its settlement activities in occupied East Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank.
