Excellent product!
Late delivery
Aurélien - 06/02/2017
I ordered a jacket on this site on 15/01 because the item was available and available between 19/01 and 23/01. As it was a birthday to 25/01, it was perfect. Except that the item arrived on 30/01 and that was without gift for our friend. Therefore damage to an item available in stock then it is only supposition Due to availability from the supplier. This has somewhat spoiled the party.
Fine coat!
Max Meijer - 06/10/2016
Stylish jacket that fits well in 't body. Few logos on the jacket itself which makes a jacket that you can wear outside motorcycling.

Client Seminars
Free marketing & business support, exclusively for UK financial advisers
Seminars should – at least in theory – be one of the more cost-effective ways to build and retain your client base. Instead of seeking out one client at a time, advisers have a captive audience to whom they can deliver targeted messages. Mixing in existing clients with potential leads creates a valuable sense of community as well as a source of immediate recommendations. However, successful seminars require more than simply mass-emailing some potential prospects and chatting about inheritance tax, say, or offshore bonds.
Attracting sufficient attendees is the first hurdle and, to this end, any email or written invitation needs to be friendly, inviting and, above all, sell the benefits of attending. Rather than "Come along and learn about bonds", try "Come along and learn about generating a tax-free income", for example. Again, rather than "Come along and learn about inheritance tax", try "Come along and learn how to keep your wealth intact for your loved ones".
The invitation should also say a little about why the host is qualified to provide this information – how long has the business been established? What is its background? Gently authoritative without showing off is the ideal tone.
In building up a list of attendees, it is worth sweating the existing client base a little. People will cheerfully bring their friends for a free lunch or glass of wine. It is also worth making it convenient – somewhere central at the right time so people do not have to go out of their way in either respect. As far as possible personalising invites reaps rewards. In the era of spam and junk emails, "to whom it may concern" will not bring a lot of traction.
The subject matter should be chosen with care and with an appreciation of the audience's concerns. Those nearing retirement are unlikely to want a seminar on emerging markets while a group of thrusting young lawyers is unlikely to want to hear about annuity options.
That said, it is worth choosing a variety of subjects to keep things fresh and interesting. A number of IFA groups have had some success with inviting well-known fund managers to participate in their seminars. This can add extra gravitas and obviously reflects well on the individual advisory company.
It is also worth providing some high-quality literature to take away. Ideally this should be something more than simply 'this is what we do' so, for example, it could be a white paper on inheritance tax options or – if we might talk up our own book for a moment – a guide to, say, income investing or portfolio diversification. This should showcase an adviser's expertise without giving it away for free. Seminars are an excellent opportunity to build new relationships and strengthen old ones, but they have to be handled with care.

"Gaelic" can be used to refer to two different languages!
That's why we often say "Irish Gaelic" to distinguish it from the language found in Scotland.
10 minute video: Irish vs Gaelic
Scottish Gaelic and Irish Gaelic are very closely related.
Watch Eoin's video about it:
If I learn Irish Gaelic, will I understand Scottish Gaelic?
No, not immediately.
The two languages have a shared history and are very closely related. They use many words and even expressions that are very close to each other.
However, don't expect to understand both languages at once.
Our suggestion is to focus on one of the languages at one time (either Irish Gaelic or Scottish Gaelic).
If you're interested in learning to speak Irish Gaelic, join our clan to take our online program of Bitesize lessons.
If you are curious about Irish pronunciation, you can always check out our Crack Irish Gaelic Pronunciation course on Udemy!

Mumbai-based automobile enthusiasts Aashish Bhardwaj and Narendra Sharma scaled the Khardung La Pass in Ladakh, one of the world's highest motorable roads, on electric scooters in June.
The pair, who run the YouTube channel 'MotorOctane' in which they review vehicles, had approached Indian electric scooter manufacturing firm Okinawa with the idea a few months ago.
Bhardwaj, who has been to Ladakh several times on a conventional two-wheeler and once in car with his family, says the management at Gurugram-based Okinawa needed quite a bit of coaxing as their latest model, the 'Praise', was yet untested at high altitudes.
"We wanted to do something different and decided to attempt the journey as no one had done that before. I think the company was also curious how this would turn out and decided to support us," he adds.
Once the firm agreed to a field review of their new product, the pair set off on June 4 accompanied by a camera crew and a mechanic equipped with spares in a car. The 10-day ride was uploaded on their channel last month in seven episodes.
The journey required meticulous planning with Bhardwaj first testing out the scooter in hilly terrain near his home in Navi Mumbai and also drawing up detailed daily plans and charting down each halt to charge the vehicles' batteries.
Sharma, for whom this was the first trip to Ladakh, experienced the fulfilment of a dream upon reaching Khardung La on June 14. "I have travelled extensively across India and half the world, but never to Leh and Ladakh. Being a biker, I have always wondered whether the world will accept me unless I go there," he says.
The pair, both 42, met in 2009 at Fiat Motors while working as senior marketing and branding executives, both in long corporate careers spanning several Indian and multinational companies. While both would later leave to become consultants, they teamed up once more with MotorOctane, united by a shared love for automobiles.
Along their journey, the soundless scooters became ice-breakers, recalls Bhardwaj, adding that other motorists would strike up conversations in the middle of the road. "One biker in Punjab, who had been following us for many kilometres, forced us to stop just so he could ask why our scooters didn't make any sound," laughs Bhardwaj.
With the scooters top-speeding at 75 kmph the pair consequently ended up spending longer hours on the road than petrol or diesel vehicles. They also reported that the electric scooters performed admirably in mountain passes with poor roads and in difficult weather conditions.
They were also able to bust myths on electric vehicles. "The first thing most people on the way would ask us when we told them that we were riding electric scooters was, 'Yeh pahad kaise chadh gayi? (How did this climb up the mountain),'" says Sharma.
In both Punjab and Kashmir, attendants at fuel pumps and pollution under control centres were left shocked at not finding either a fuel compartment or a smoke vent in spite of turning the scooters over. Devoid of an engine, the vehicles also did not stall as the air thinned out in the upper reaches of Leh. "We passed a lot of motorbikes that had stopped along the way because they had very little air to burn," says Sharma.
The pair says their successful ascent of Ladakh was also a journey that caused minimal harm to the environment. In one of the final episodes of their journey, 'Okinawa to Himalayas', that documents their arrival in Leh, Sharma remarks, "I feel a sense of pride at having got here on a vehicle free from pollution."

Robert Scholes
Robert E. Scholes (1929-2016) was an American literary critic and theorist. He is known for his ideas on fabulation and metafiction.
He graduated from Yale University. From 1970 until his death in 2016, he was a Professor at Brown University.
With Eric S. Rabkin, he published in 1977 the book Science Fiction: History, Science, Vision, which considerably influenced science fiction studies. In it, they attempt to explain the literary history of the genre, but also the sciences such as physics and astronomy.
Scholes became well known as a cogent guide to literary theory and semiotics as they became influential in U.S. literary studies in the 1970s and 1980s. His 1982 book Semiotics and Interpretation was praised in the Times Literary Supplement as offering "a clutch of examples of semiotics usefully and intelligently applied, which Scholes's patient, cheerful tone and his resolutely concrete vocabulary manage to combine into a breezily informative American confection."[1]
Scholes held honorary doctorates from Lumière University Lyon 2, France, (1987) and SUNY Purchase (2003). He was a president of the Semiotic Society of America (1989–1990) and of the Modern Language Association of America (2004).[2] In 1998, he was elected a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Scholes served most recently as the director of the Modernist Journals Project. In his collaboration with Clifford Wulfman, Modernism in the Magazines: An Introduction (2010), Scholes offered a primer on early twentieth-century magazines, with particular attention given to the relationship of advertising to editorial content.[3]

Top 6 Benefits of Localization
In a global market, the benefits of localization may seem obvious. For anyone working directly in the language services industry, or at least anyone who regularly deals with Language Service Providers, the benefits might seem more evident. When it comes to businesses that are just getting started on their international journey, taking their product or service into global markets isn't always plain sailing and the benefits localization are definitely not always obvious.
Here at Applingua we have witnessed and been part of many businesses starting their move into international markets. Over the years, our customers have reported back to us the benefits of localization and shared with us their trials and tribulations. In this post, we look over the six most commonly reported benefits and give our own little take on them.
What is the difference between translation and localization?
Before we start, there's one important aspect that needs to be cleared up: the difference between translation and localization. This definition from The Globalization and Localization Association (GALA) explains it neatly, "Localization is the process of adapting a product or content to a specific locale or market. Translation is only one of several elements of the localization process."
So let's apply this to an example so we can see what it means. Imagine we're translating a business sales document ready for a pitch presentation to your customers. Translation takes the text and converts it from one language to another language ready for your potential market. However, localization aims to adapt your business sales document so that it is customer ready – colors, linguistic nuances, dates, times, and everything else so that it appears like it was originally written for that customer market.
That's the key. Localization is not just about translating the text, it's about making it look and feel as though it were produced in the target language in the first place.
It's the authentic look and feel which make the benefits of going that extra mile and choosing localization over plain translation something which cannot be understated.
Top 6 benefits of localization
In no particular order, the top six benefits of localization are:
- Increase market share
- Increase revenue
- Mitigate cultural sensitivity
- Build customer rapport
- Gain competitive advantage
- Strengthen global presence
This list of benefits isn't exhaustive. There are many more benefits, but these ones in particular are the topics that most often come up during feedback and evaluation sessions with our clients several months post localization.
Increase market share
Your product or service is currently available to your customers in your home market. You've built your solution so it fits the market and your customers' needs. Culturally, linguistically and stylistically it works your local market. Does it work globally? Pre-localization, probably not.
But why limit yourself to your local market alone? There are many more prospects in the global market you can access via the internet. The ubiquity of wifi, mobile phones and tablets means you and your business can potentially have direct access to billions of customers around the world.
Selling your product online isn't enough to increase your global market share. Localization is what helps get you there. By localizing into just one language, you open your product to a new and potentially bigger market. It's about accessibility – if a customer cannot understand how your product or service helps them, how will they ever be convinced to part with their money?
Increase potential revenue
A natural progression from an increase in market share is an increase in potential revenue. If just 25.3% of the global population are using the internet in English, think of all those customers you are potentially missing out on! And just simply by not having your website, mobile or web app available in another language.
By offering your solution in just one other language, depending on which one it is, you're potentially opening yourself up to winning millions and millions of paying customers. If you translate your solution into Chinese, you're talking just over a billion potential customers!
All those extra customers and that increased market share should, in a scalable business model, lead to increased revenue.
This is of course by no way guaranteed and various clients report various success. Entering a new market does require thought on how you will market your business in that location. Some cultures have different attitudes towards free and paid apps, with some countries being less inclined to purchase an app or service subscription than others. Conversely certain cultures are sceptical towards ad-supported revenue models.
However, for ad-supported apps and services, the increase in user base can convert quite quickly into ad revenue.
Mitigate cultural sensitivity
Some brands will skip the localization process and just translate the bare text of their solution. This way they miss out on one of the biggest benefits of localization.
Localization means you adapt your solution to fit the target audience. It means you change colours where they're inappropriate, you choose different words where they don't fit, you format numbers, times and dates, as well as many more things.
This way, you avoid being culturally insensitive and help to create positive associations between your brand and your market.
Build customer rapport
In an EU survey, 9 out of 10 internet users said they would choose to use a website in their own language if it is available. 4 in 10 internet users thought "they missed interesting information because websites were not available in a language they understood."
Customers are crying out for products and services to be available in a language they understand. By speaking their language it makes sense that your business seems more approachable in the global market. It also shows existing customers in that market that you care about them and are thinking about their requirements.
To quote the late Nelson Mandela, "If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart."
Gain a competitive advantage
You're pretty lucky if your business is the only one in the market. For the rest of us, we have to find ways to compete and win customers. Many apps, games, websites and online services can use language as a competitive advantage.
If the competition is only available in English, you can gain an advantage with Spanish speakers in your market or in the global market if your business offers its services in their own language.
What's more, once your product or service is set up localization, then half the battle is complete. After you have prepared your solution technically to be localized into one language, it makes it much easier to add additional languages in the future, putting you ahead of the race if you learn your competitor is also thinking about localization as a strategy.
Strengthen global presence
You want your brand to be a global player in the market. You want it to be recognised by anyone anywhere in the world. But you don't want to forget where you started i.e. your local market.
Having a brand which was built locally but has a global presence reinforces the positive associations with the brand.
Take KFC for example. It is a global brand present in many countries around the world. Yet despite being a global brand, we all know where it started – Kentucky! You could even say it put Kentucky on the map.
Of course, when KFC entered an oversea market, it didn't simple take its name and translated 'fried chicken', it rehashed its menu to suit local tastes and localized its tag line to work with the local language.
Break down all the potential cultural and linguistic barriers between your brand and the rest of the world by localizing and reek the benefit of everyone having a closer connection to you and your company.
Putting this into action
The only way you will be able to enjoy the benefits of localization is by actually localizing your solution. Before you do that, you will need a strategy in place. A localization strategy. But how do you go about creating one of them?
While putting together any strategy is hard work, we've already taken the first steps for you in this blog post to help you get started with developing your localization strategy.
If you have any questions about localization and benefits, whether its what are the best markets to enter or what are the key aspects to consider, we'll be happy to help where we can. Drop us an e-mail on [email protected] and let's see what we can do.

I agree with the benefits of localisation which you mentioned in this article and also believe that there must be more benefits. However, in my opinion, not all the cases of localisation are available to achieve those benefits. Only successful localisation could bring those benefits to both companies and translators, otherwise, localisation will bring negative influence. Esselink mentions that localisation involves taking a product and making it linguistically and culturally approximate to the target locale (country, region and language) when it will be used and sold (Esselink). As students major in translation, we are learning and discussing the role that translation plays during the process of localisation all the time. Although translation is one step of many steps in localisation, it is the essential step in this process. If there is any mistake happens during the process of translation, the expected outcome of localisation cannot be achieved. In addition, localisation must involve translators in the process because when working with texts, we should think of people (Pym). From this perspective, only human translator, instead of MT, can help to achieve successful localisation.

Hi Anthony, thank you for your post. It is quite useful for me as I'm learning translation and localisation at present and this post encourages me to enter the language service industry.
Hi Linhuan, I agree with what you've said and I appreciate your critical thinking. It is true that localisation has many benefits, but to achieve them in reality is not an easy task. What's more, although translation is not all of localisation, it is a basic step in this process. Therefore, despite the heavy use of machine translation in the process of localisation, human translation is still very important as only human can deal with the cultural nuance when translating, while machine can only render the superficial meaning. In other words, we should try to avoid the dehumanisation of localisation.

High quality LEARNING is central to everything we do
Our curriculum is reviewed regularly as part of strategic planning to ensure that it meets the needs of the cohort. At the core of the curriculum is a commitment to provide a broad and balanced foundation which will ensure quality support for life after school. We have a strong emphasis on spiritual, moral, social and cultural education which is embedded through our values, positive behaviour support and the curriculum itself. We expect all of our students to be highly motivated in developing their curiosity for learning, to show resilience and independence not only in lessons but in the school and wider community, and we aim to foster a clear enthusiasm for learning, progress and success. We expect students to be positive role models both in school and in the community, we expect them to be active citizens with a good understanding of British values. We believe that our curriculum underpins all of this and enables students to thrive within all aspects of academic and social development which will in turn enable them to apply the skills they learn across a lifetime.
Our curriculum will ensure that our students acquire both knowledge and skills in all areas of academic and social development. To ensure that we have a broad and balanced curriculum we have a strong offer with all students in KS3 studying – humanities, linguistics, mathematics, sciences, technical, social and physical and artistic subjects. This offer continues and expands in KS4 where additional specialist subjects are currently included: Spanish, Photography, Computer Science, Business Studies, Health and Social Care, Craft, Child Development, Media Studies. PSHE is taught both discreetly and through a pastoral programme of form time activities and weekly assemblies. We also have support throughout both key stages for information, advice and guidance which involves the careers service, local colleges, work experience and mock interviews.
We consider throughout the year how our extra-curricular offer compliments the formal curriculum and aim to ensure that students have access to a wide variety of clubs and opportunities. This offer will support not only academic progress with for example intervention and homework clubs, but also skills and talents which students wish to further for example sports and artistic clubs, reading and social groups.
Whilst we endeavour to deliver all option choices, subjects and qualifications may change based on student numbers and staffing implications.
To find out more about the curriculum Siddal Moor delivers, please contact the school and ask to speak to Hannah Gregory, Assistant Headteacher - Curriculum.

One of the reasons that people say that the book of Jonah is fiction is because of the miracles that take place in the book. Because miracles go against the natural order of our lives people sometimes dismiss them as fantasy. Some pastors and Christian teachers try to eliminate miracles from the Bible to make the Bible more believable to a world that does not believe in God. Our culture, which claims they are about facts and truth, discredit miracles because they are not scientific which means reproducible because science is about things that occur consistently, repeatedly and can be studied and explained. By the definition of science the creation of the world, by God or by evolution, does not fit science because it was a onetime event which is why there are only theories about how creation began. Of course a miracle is called a miracle because it is not reproducible and is a onetime event that can be studied. Christians fall into the trap of trying to get people who do not believe in God to make the Bible sound more realistic in the hope of getting the people they love to come to know Jesus Christ or because they allow some in academia to bully them into questioning miracles.
Atheist Richard Dawkins says "The virgin birth, the Resurrection the raising of Lazarus even the Old Testament miracles, all are freely used for religious propaganda, and they are very effective with an audience of unsophisticates and children. (The Case for Faith, Lee Strobel, Pg 57)
Notice that Richard Dawkins thinks the beginning of the world was started by Aliens, which is apparently an acceptable explanation, but makes fun of those who believe that God began the universe and therefore can step into that creation whenever He chooses. Our story of Jonah has in it several miracles but one that sticks out the most, and is a point of controversy, is about a man surviving for three days in a large fish. Should we as Christ followers believe such a story? Should we believe in miracles? If we believe in miracles does that mean we are just not as smart as those who don't?
Miracles are part of Christianity from the Creation of the world and to the fact that Jesus rose from the dead. To be a Christian means you have to believe in miracles because to not believe that Jesus died for our sins and rose again means that Christianity is a false religion. As we look at the story of Jonah we will look at what miracles are and if we can believe in them even if they go against the natural order of things.
Jonah 1:17 And the Lord appointed[d] a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
1) Miracles are not Natural events
"The Lord Appointed
Appointed: God using His power to accomplish what He desires to do.
If you believe God is the creator of the universe then believing He has power over His creation is not something that is difficult to believe. Some believe that for God to step into creation and do miracles would break the laws that are in place. The reality is God is not breaking the laws He established for His creation but He is only overpowering them for a time. Airplanes fly every day even though we believe in the law of gravity. Are they breaking the law of gravity? No. They are just overpowering the law of gravity for a time to fulfill a purpose. If we can do that as God's creation then certainly God can overpower and overcome any laws He Himself has established.
A miracle is God using His power to override the natural course of things for His purpose.
So God appointed "A great fish" to be in the right place at the right time for His runaway prophet. The King James Version interpreted the story to say it was a whale in Matthew 12:40 so many people picture Jonah being swallowed by a whale. We are told it is a large fish either that already existed or one that God specifically designed for this occasion. The problem most people have is that they want the story to be validated or repeated by someone else experiencing the same thing as Jonah. There have been other reports of people swallowed by large fish or whales that have survived and people turn to those stories to validate the truth of the story of Jonah. This is not necessary because to believe in God means you believe in miracles and to take away all the miracles in the Bible would mean you do not believe in the greatest miracle which was Jesus rising from the dead. We have to remember that a miracle by definition is not something that occurs naturally or that is repeated consistently. If someone wins the lottery, which is something like 76 million to one odds, we would still believe them if that person never won the lottery again. Rare occurrences of something happening do not mean they did not happen and the universe is the greatest example of that.
"A miracle is a divine act beyond human replication or explanation." D. Stuart
Many so called "Faith Healers" are not performing miracles but are using Psychosomatic which means it is in your head. If someone believes they have an allergic reaction to something, it does not mean they really do it can just be in their mind. Magic or illusions is about misleading the mind to make you believe something occurred when it really did not. Providence, which many Christians get confused with miracles, is when God uses natural means to provide for you.
If God exist then miracles are possible and the reason Atheist have a hard time with miracles is because they do not believe in God. Atheists do not believe in God so they will only accept what they can study scientifically while at the same time saying there is no God which they cannot disprove.
"To say that a scientist can disprove God is like saying a mechanic can disprove the existence of Henry Ford." (Reasons for God, Frank Turek Pg. 145)
Science does not speak scientist do and they are only telling you their world view with the evidence they see while a creationist looks at the same evidence and tells you something different. Science is just an explanation of what already exist and how it works not how it came into existence. Evolution is a theory and has to be accepted by faith because it does not explain how we came into being only what some believe how we came into being.
Laws of nature are what Christians look at to say that there is a God because we know that things do not go from chaos to order scientifically. Looking at the scientific evidence that things go from order to chaos and not chaos to order proves that believing in God is more believable than believing in evolution. The fact that we have laws of nature is because there is a law maker who set those laws in motion because they could not happen randomly.
The reason miracles get our attention is because they are rare events. To have a miracle be repeated many times for it to be legitimate is to make it not a miracle but a natural phenomenon. The story of Jonah has not been repeated because it was a miracle that took place because God chose to do so. We do not have to normalize the story because we do not need to prove to them that it is true they need to prove it is not true. DO NOT downplay what is in the Bible just because people laugh at you for believing it because how the universe began and what happens to us when we die are all a matters of faith.
The author of the book of Jonah describes the event as fact so there is no reason as a Christian to not believe the story happened.
"Trying to marshal evidence to confirm this Scripture may in fact result in denigration of the miracle. Searching for historical incidents when people and large animals were swallowed and later recovered from sea creatures shows a posture of defensiveness that is unnecessary, counterproductive, and violates the nature of the biblical account. "(The New American Commentary, Billy K. Smith and Frank S. Page, PG. 240)
Matthew 12:39-40 But he answered them, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Jesus used the story of Jonah as a sign to those who were asking for a miracle to show them that He would be in the tomb three days and then rise again. They were asking for a miracle and Jesus told them about Jonah which means they obviously believed the story of Jonah was a true story and a miracle.
Which miracle do you have a bigger problem with, Jonah in a fish or Jesus dead in a tomb?
If Jesus did not die and rise from the dead then we are wasting our time believing that Christianity is true.
1 Corinthians 15:12-18 Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14 And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. 15 We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
"Jonah was in the fish three days and three nights
There are many thoughts about the three days and three nights and what it actually meant. Some believed that three days of a body with no movement was proof they had passed away. (John 11:6-14)
Some believe that Jonah was dead in the fish which does not take away from the miracle but it does seem to contradict the passages that follow. Some believe there was a three day trip for our spirits to travel from the earth to the sheol or place of the dead. Whatever the case the story tells us he was in there long enough for this to be a miracle of God.
2) The Miracle was God's Pursuit of Jonah
"The Great Fish Swallowed Jonah"
Miracles were always used to confirm that the messenger was delivering a message from God. The Bible is filled with about 250 miracles but most of them happened with Moses, Elijah, Elisha, Jesus and the apostles. Every time a miracle was performed it was to confirm that what was being said was from God and could be trusted and that there was one true God.
"We are not saying that God cannot do miracles today, or that he never does. As the sovereign Creator and sustainer of the universe, he can do a miracle anytime he wants. It's just that he may not have a reason to publicly display his power the way he did during biblical times because all of the truths he wanted to reveal have already been revealed and confirmed. " (I don't have enough faith to be an atheist, Frank Turek, PG. 216)
Although Jonah may have ignored God and His command to go to Nineveh, God was still in pursuit of His rebellious prophet. God has proven Himself with miracles and the main miracle being that Christ rose from the dead, the miracle that Jesus told the religious leaders was the only sign they would receive from Him. Everyone has to do something with Jesus and what you believe about Jesus determines your eternity.
The word "swallow" was always in reference to judgment in the Old Testament.
Numbers 16:31-32 And as soon as he had finished speaking all these words, the ground under them split apart. 32 And the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households and all the people who belonged to Korah and all their goods.
The giant fish would not only act as a savior for Jonah, as we will see in future verses, but it was also God punishing his prophet to teach him a lesson. Judgement and salvation in our mind are always separate things but in the Hebrew mind it was never disconnected because the judgment led to salvation. God uses judgment to separate His children from their sin and so they turn back to Him. (Deuteronomy 4:26-30) God wants us to participate in what He is doing and when we don't, because of selfishness or insecurity, He then allows us to go through trials to turn us back to Him.
The judgment and salvation that Jonah experiences should soften his heart toward the very people he hates but as we will see he still will hate the very people God saves. We should never want divine judgment even on our worst enemy but God will use judgement in order for people to see that He is the true God. It is easy for us to judge Jonah but the reality is we all have a tendency to run away from the call of God on our lives and suffer consequences because of our rebelliousness.
John 15:10-11 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. 11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.
God's pursuit of us was for us to be able to be in a right relationship with Him. We are always better off staying in the intimate relationship with God by obeying His commandments no matter how difficult a task it may seem to be. To ignore God's command is to ignore God and when you do you invite judgment upon your life from God Himself.
Jonah 2:1 Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish,
The book of Jonah wants us to remember that God was still Jonah's God even after all that Jonah had done. In the Old Testament death is understood to be a process more than an event so Jonah is describing a period of time where he is beginning to die. Jonah , no matter how deep he was in the ocean, was not too far to cry out to God.
3) Miracles can be counterfeited
Although this may not have to do with our story there is a warning that all Christians must be aware of and that is that Satan can counterfeit the things of God to fool people. God never does a miracle to show off but Satan will do whatever it takes to keep people from knowing the one true God who sent Jesus Christ as a sacrifice for our sins.
2 Thessalonians 2:9 The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders,
Matthew 24:24 For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.
Exodus 8:5-7 And the Lord said to Moses, "Say to Aaron, 'Stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the canals and over the pools, and make frogs come up on the land of Egypt!'" 6 So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt. 7 But the magicians did the same by their secret arts and made frogs come up on the land of Egypt.
In Exodus chapter eight the magicians were copying what Moses did and made the situation worse but it was enough to convince Pharaoh that there was not a true God. In Exodus 8:19 they could not copy what God had done through Moses and Aaron and they said this is the finger of God which showed there was someone more powerful than all the powers they called upon. We need to be careful as Christ followers to not be looking for signs because the sign of Jonah was already given to us in Jesus Christ when He rose from the dead.
Believing in Miracles does not make you less scientific or smart but it accepts the reality that we all have to walk by faith with knowing how we came into existence and where we are going when we die.
God has revealed Himself to us so that we can know Him on a personal level and Jesus (God in the flesh) died for our sins so that we can be back in a right relationship with Him. The greatest miracle that has ever taken place is the miracle of Jesus Christ who died for our sins and raised again defeating death so if you have a problem with miracles then you have a problem with Christianity.
1 Corinthians 15:20-23 20 But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.

This accessible textbook provides a clear and practical introduction to phonetics, the study of speech.
Michael Ashby is Senior Lecturer in Phonetics at University College London. John Maidment is Lecturer in Phonetics at University College London.
'This rigorous and comprehensive introduction will prove to be invaluable not only to students of phonetics and linguistics but to all who are interested in the study of sound, speech and language.' Professor Yoshiki Nagase, University of Yamanashi, Japan 'Ashby and Maidment have succeeded in synthesizing complex and challenging material in a way that is accessible to beginners ... I have not used a better introductory textbook on the subject.' Dominic Watt, Department of Linguistics, University of Aberdeen 'An excellent introductory textbook. It is the only one that truly combines articulatory and instrumental approaches to phonetics. In addition it has a abundance of clear and helpful exercises.' William Idsardi, Department of Linguistics, University of Delaware 'Ashby and Maidment succeed resoundingly in introducing the basics of phonetics from scratch ... They have illustrated the text excellently, with large, well-explained spectrograms and diagrams, and the volume is clearly written, with individual chapters on place and manner of articulation, phonation, air-stream mechanisms, co-articulation, suprasegmentals, speech perception and basic phonology. ... Students of phonology and phonetics would benefit ... and will find ... some explanations that are clearly better than those available elsewhere.' Times Higher Education Supplement 'This introductory textbook in phonetics is excellently composed and written, it's style being mostly clear and elegant in spite of the complex topic. It contains a large number of figures, tables and practical exercises. Illuminating sound examples have been taken from several languages from different parts of the world. It also treats some issues that are usually not included in introductory textbooks, e.g. voice types, click modification, hearing deficiencies. ... the book will be highly recommendable, due to its very high quality in terms of coverage, as well as macro- and micro-level composition.'

The synthesis of available knowledge on the biodiversity and ecosystem functioning below surface became an international scientific priority in 1992 as a result of a workshop on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (Schulze & Mooney 1994). In 1995, a SCOPE (Scientific Committee on Problems in the Environment) Committee on Soil and Sediment Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning (SSBEF) began to evaluate available data with the goal of providing policy makers with the scientific tools and information needed to promote sound management. How did this committee proceed to build the foundation for this book?
Through unprecedented collaboration between 70 international taxonomists and ecosystem scientists with expertise in soils, freshwater sediments, and marine sediments, the SSBEF committee developed state-of-the-art interdisciplinary syntheses and identified research and policy areas that need the most urgent attention. The committee held three extremely successful international workshops (see the SCOPE SSBEF committee publication list at the back of this volume, and summaries at the website http://www.nrel.colostate.edu/soil/SCOPE/scope.html). The workshops have resulted in 41 publications in journals read by scientists, managers, and policy makers. Additionally, the workshop syntheses have helped launch a new integrative discipline that crosses traditionally isolated disciplines (e.g., taxonomy, biogeochem-istry, ecology), management, and domains (terrestrial, atmospheric, freshwater, and marine). This new scientific approach has contributed data to advance a more integrated and holistic understanding of Earth-system functioning and provides a foundation for this book. The SCOPE SSBEF syntheses identified major gaps in knowledge and research priorities in three overarching areas:
1. The importance of soil and sediment biodiversity and ecosystem functioning within domains (soils, freshwater sediments, marine sediments). Keystone functional groups (a group of species that has a much greater impact on an ecosystem process through impact on trophic relations than would be expected from its biomass) were identified within each domain. Comparisons among all domains revealed that, in general, the keystone ecosystem functions were strikingly similar in all domains (Table 1.3), although the taxa involved were often remarkably different. The diversity of functions performed may be more important than the diversity of organisms for sustaining ecosystem processes. Thus, there appear to be universally important functions performed across all soil and sediment domains, and these contribute to vital ecosystem goods and services (Table 1.4). For example, in all domains many species are part of a complex food web that breaks down organic matter—by shredding, ripping, or dissolving it—and thus recycles soil nutrients to living plants and releases carbon dioxide and sequesters carbon (Table 1.3). Species in both soils and sediments filter particles from water and influence its flow, in turn cleansing and purifying water and playing a pivotal role in nutrient cycling and in the Earth's hydrological cycle.
2. The importance of soil and sediment biodiversity and ecosystem functioning across domains. Collaboration of scientists from all domains was crucial to elucidating the understanding that below-surface species and the processes they regulate do not operate in just one domain (e.g., exclusively in soils, freshwater sediments, or marine sediments). These species play a critical role by crossing and connecting domains, below and above surface, and thus regulating essential global cycles that contribute to the stabilization of Earth's climate and the maintenance of functioning ecosystems. Moreover, human disturbances in one domain can have cascading effects onto other domains. The SSBEF review committee found that integrated knowledge, research, and management of the domain interfaces was severely lacking. They set this area of interface exploration as a major research priority in order to maintain the high diversity and important functions in soils and sediments.
3. Threats to soil and sediment biodiversity and their functioning. The SSBEF workshops revealed that across all domains, global change poses a significant threat to below-surface biodiversity and the ecosystem functions they regulate. There was evidence across domains that land use change (including deforestation, overfishing, damming of rivers, agricultural intensification, pollution, and increased trampling), invasive species, and climate change can shift species composition, eliminate species, and reduce diversity at local to regional scales (Lake et al. 2000; Smith et al. 2000; Wolters et al. 2000; Wall et al. 2001b). The loss of populations and species at these local and regional scales threatens biodiversity, since it reduces genetic diversity, foreclosing opportunities for evolution and homogenizing biodiversity across the landscape. Whether species become globally extinct depends on the geographical extent of their range relative to that of the disturbance. But highresolution data on the effects of a perturbation on soil and sediment biodiversity at large biogeographic scales is incomplete and was identified as another research priority. The SSBEF committee also determined that across all domains, current and predicted global change effects on below-surface biodiversity are, and will be, manifested largely through changes linked to above-surface habitats and biodiversity. These above-surface changes will transform the below-surface physical-chemical environment, alter the transfer of nutrients and other resources belowground, and decouple species-specific interactions. These transformations may, in turn, have multiple, significant consequences for above-surface habitats and for their biodiversity and ecological processes.
Specific information was lacking on the vulnerability to human activities of the most important below-surface taxa and functions and their linkages above surface. How this vulnerability might be ameliorated by management options was considered an urgent priority for further research and synthesis. The workshops and syntheses of the SSBEF committee have advanced a paradigm shift in understanding biodiversity in soils and sediments. Scientists have acquired a more complete picture of these domains, especially the keystone taxa and functions, and are beginning to learn to what extent they are being, and may continue to be, disrupted and impaired by global change.
This improved, holistic understanding of below-surface biodiversity and of the linkages to organisms both above-surface and among domains was necessary before we could proceed toward addressing questions on the critical taxa, their ecosystem functions, habitats, biogeographical occurrence, and vulnerabilities.

Criminal Charges Filed Against Assisted Living Employee In Relation To Resident Suffering Burns While Eating
As an injury lawyer who frequently handles nursing home negligence matters, I find myself regularly thinking 'what happened to plain old common sense'? I mean, you can train the nurses, physicians, maintenance workers and administrators til' you're blue in the face– yet most of the commonly encountered nursing home problems could easily be avoided with plain old common sense.
Want an example? How does checking on the temperature of food before feeding a disabled person? Is that too much to ask?
Along those lines, homicide charges were filed against Alador Thompson, an employee of Cambridge-Brightfield Assisted Living Facility in Hatfield, PA. The charges are related to an October 8th incident in which Thompson poured scalding oatmeal into the mouth of an Alzheimer's patient she was responsible for feeding. The oatmeal caused the resident to suffer burns to his lips, tongue, and the inside of his mouth.
The resident was taken to a local hospital for burn treatment. After three days of hospitalization, the resident was returned to Cambridge where he apparently stopped eating and died.
On August 5th Thompson will be arraigned on charges related to involuntary manslaughter and neglect of a care dependent person.
Hey district attorney, can I make a suggestion? How about filing similar charges against the administrator of the facility for accepting this poor man back at the facility and allowing him to starve to death following the obviously severe burns he suffered on hands of your employee?

Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA) are used by many people as part of retirement planning. An IRA allows a person to benefit from tax-deferred retirement savings even when they are not covered under an employer-sponsored retirement plan such as a 401k program. IRAs are also used to transfer retirement plan assets (IRA rollover) if an employee is terminated or leaves the company. Our South Carolina wills and trusts lawyers are often asked about what happens to an IRA upon death.
It is important to remember that beneficiaries take precedence over any terms in your will. As with other financial accounts, you must name a beneficiary when you open your account. Therefore, the money in your IRA passes to the beneficiary upon your death, regardless of the other terms of your will. The beneficiary can use the money in the IRA in whatever manner he or she wishes, provided minimum distributions are made according to IRS requirements.
If you are worried about a beneficiary because he or she does not manage money well, there is something you can do. You can name a trust as your beneficiary to control how the funds in the IRA are used after your death. In addition, by naming a trust as the beneficiary, you can protect the funds from debts that your heir may owe.
An IRA trust provides a great amount of flexibility to provide for your loved ones after your death. The trust is a special type of revocable living trust that has the sole purpose of managing your IRA accounts after your death. Because this is a revocable trust, a benefit is the ability to change the terms of the trust if circumstances change.
To transfer the IRA accounts into the trust, you must name the trust as the beneficiary on all accounts you want to be managed by the trust. Upon your death, the IRAs are transferred into the trust and are managed according to the terms set forth in the trust agreement. In other words, the IRA trust becomes the owner of the accounts.
Required minimum payments from the IRA are paid to the trust as the beneficiary. The terms of the trust dictate how the funds are to be managed. In an accumulation trust, the trustee uses the funds for the benefit of the trust's beneficiary at the discretion of the trustee. With a conduit trust, the minimum distributions are paid to the beneficiary as the trust receives the payments. In either case, the beneficiary is not able to withdraw funds at will nor is his creditors able to touch the funds within the IRA trust.
The flexibility of an IRA trust allows you to create sub-trusts within the trust, creating a legacy for your family through lifetime dynasty trusts. However, these trusts must be very carefully worded and drafted to ensure they meet all the conditions to protect against accelerated withdrawal requirements.

Brain-boosting drugs should be welcomed and not feared", say expertsDecember 15th, 2008 - 3:45 pm ICT by ANI
London, Dec 15 (ANI): A group of neuroscientists, psychiatrists and ethicists have suggested that the society should be more open to the use of drugs that boost brain power rather than staying away from them.
In a recent survey, it was found that almost 25 per cent of students at US universities bought Ritalin or Adderall - prescription drugs to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.
And the students routinely buy these drugs on black markets to boost memory and concentration. The stimulant Modafinil has also been touted as a mind enhancer.
However, after studying the effect of some of these drugs on cognitive function in healthy people, Henry Greely of Stanford Law School in California, and colleagues have said that cognitive enhancers found to be safe and effective should be welcomed, not feared.
Also, the researchers have called for more research on the effects of such drugs, which should also look into the drugs" safety.
"This isn"t like steroids and sports… enhancement is not a dirty word," New Scientist magazine quoted Greely as saying.
He further said that using drugs in this way was not "unnatural," and it was not like steroids and sports. Enhancement is not a dirty word.
The researchers have claimed that a safe pill shouldnt be perceived differently to other strategies already in use to improve the minds, like a good night''s sleep or a strong cup of coffee.
They said that inexpensive drugs might also hold the potential to be a more egalitarian way to get ahead than expensive tutoring.
Neuroethicist Julian Savulescu of the University of Oxford recommended that brain pills could give that extra edge to nations whose citizens are willing to raise their intelligence. (ANI)

Oh, hi there BuzzFeed reader who was wrongly directed to this post! Here's the Millionaire's Shortbread Bars you're looking for! Thanks for stopping by!
You will love these easy homemade baked Cranberry White Chocolate Fudgy Oatmeal Bars because they are so soft and chewy with a delicious layer of dried cranberries and white chocolate fudge wedged in between! This is the best recipe to add to your holiday baking! Careful: Highly addictive!
Okay, American Thanksgiving is officially over – it's Christmas time! This is one of my favorite parts of the year! All the gift-buying, baking and decorating – I just love the warm and cozy feeling I get in December!
And one thing I really like about Christmas time is the smells. Just imagine having been outside shopping for gifts all day, there's a few snowflakes dancing in the cold sky and you enter your house which smells amazing from all the baking you did in the morning!
Or from the delicious gingerbread pancakes you whipped up for breakfast? Either way, this is just about heaven to me.
Now if you're going to bake up these ooey-gooey oatmeal bars you will definitely have the smells of the holiday season surround you! Because what says Christmas more than the combination of cranberries and white chocolate? That's right, practically nothing. (I know that's an exaggeration, I'm just looking for blind support of my theories here.)
These bars are so impressive and beyond delicious, but they're actually really easy to make!
The bottom crust and the top layer are actually the same batter, but the top gets a nice browning from being directly exposed to the heat. And the fudge layer is super easy to make too (it's really similar to the one in these no-bake bars) – it takes a little bit of time but if you get it going right when you start out it will be done by the time you have made your oat batter, cleaned your measuring cups and weighed out your cranberries.
The result? Delicious oat layers hugging a wonderful gooey fudge layer studded with cranberries. Now you can eat them right out of the oven after they have cooled a bit and the fudge will be amazingly gooey, warm and sticky.
Or you can refrigerate them overnight to harden them up (makes slicing a breeze!) and either enjoy them as a sturdier bar or microwave them for a few seconds until they are all melty again!
These are such a nice and festive treat! Better plan on making two batches because they disappear faster than you can say "Happy Holidays"!
Gooey Fudgy Cranberry White Chocolate Oatmeal Bars Recipe
For the Oat Layer
- 2/3 cups butter softened
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1 3/4 cups rolled oats
For the Fudge Layer
- 3/4 cup evaporated milk
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/4 cup sugar
- A few drops vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups white chocolate chips
To Finish
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
To Make the Fudge Layer
- Add all ingredients except the white chocolate to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Stir in the white chocolate until melted and continue simmering until thickened to a thick caramel-like consistency.
To Make the Oat Layer
- Preheat the oven to 360°F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish well.
- In a large bowl cream the butter and sugar together for 5 minutes. Add the egg and continue beating until light in color, about 2 minutes.
- Sift in the flour, baking soda and salt and mix until combined. Stir in the oats and press 3/4 of the mixture into the prepared baking pan.
To Finish
- Evenly sprinkle the cranberries over the oat batter. Pour the white chocolate fudge on top - work quickly because it gets sticky if it gets too cool. Drop blobs of the remaining oat mixture evenly over the fudge layer.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden. Cool in the pan before slicing and serving OR refrigerate overnight OR serve warm and gooey fresh out of the oven with spoons.

You might be wondering. What does Mirador mean anyway?The word Mirador in Spanish translates to "a tower offering a vantage point".
The roots of our name, like our company, lie in Pleasanton. A few years ago, our Founder Don Garman was taking his dog Rosie for a walk through the neighborhood. He was listening to Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg's book on tape Lean In at the time and remembers hearing a call to action. If fear were not an issue, what would you do with your life? Not more than 20 feet in front of Don was a street sign, intersecting his own, reading "Mirador."
Having entertained the idea of breaking off from a large investment house to become an independent financial advisor and fiduciary, this could not have come at a better time. This street sign would become a cornerstone in the story of Mirador. Don thought the word exemplified the values he could bring to clients' lives. Most evidently in our flagship Longview strategy.
Once a business plan was established it was time to create a logo. It is no accident that we chose Coit Tower to represent our business model. We knew the logo needed to reflect our sentiment towards investing. The views from Coit Tower are analogous to the views we take when constructing and managing our portfolios. Both stress the ability to see great distances.
Our clients' lives are not without challenge. There are many obstacles to navigate along the way to retirement. By taking the high ground we are able to navigate more effectively by sighting warning signs as well as opportunities.
We will continue to take The Mirador View as we guide our clients' portfolios towards their goals.
