Spousal Transfers: We Told You So
We are often asked by potential clients, "Can't I just transfer my assets to my spouse to protect them?" We have always recommended against that "strategy" for a number of reasons, not the least of which, we tell our clients: "What if she/he decides to divorce you? You could lose it all forever." Another significant reason is that the transfer could be easily "undone" by a court if a fraudulent transfer is found to have occurred. Thus, no asset protection.
Ohio Legacy Trusts: A New "Protective" Trust Law?
Rush University Case: What Could Have Been Done Differently?
A 2012 Illinois Supreme Court case, Rush University Medical Center v. Sessions, has been touted as proof that asset protection trusts, especially offshore trusts, do not work. In this issue we will clarify and enlighten our readers as to why that particular offshore trust failed to protect assets, and we will point out what could and should have been done differently so that the protective planning would have worked as intended.
Selected Planning Issues: Planning After the Lawsuit – Can it be Done?
It is often said that once a person has been sued nothing can be done to protect assets. This is usually true. The knowledgeable asset protection professional will, however, be able to recognize the few exceptions to that rule. The ability to recognize and utilize the exceptions will depend upon a thorough understanding of the relevant fraudulent transfer law.
Titling Assets: Pitfalls to be Avoided – Part II
Many individuals attempt to implement asset protection on their own. Among the "do-it-yourself" methods commonly utilized is titling and re-titling assets among a spouse, children and others (friends & family members). Instead of accomplishing the desired protection, these "strategies" often expose the transferred asset to additional creditors, cause family conflicts, and raise gift and estate tax issues.

Well, we've have some rather surprising casting news yesterday when it was announced that Jessie Eisenberg, the guy from Social Network and Zombieland, would play Superman's arch nemesis Lex Luthor, and Jeremy Irons the guy who voiced Scar in The Lion King and who played in that shitty Dungeons and Dragons movie, will be Bruce Wayne's mentor and father figure.
Well, I guess none of us saw this coming. Before this casting announcement, there have been some rumours going around that Brian Cranston had been considered for the role which to me would have been a much better fit for Lex Luthor or for Commissioner Gordon which I think he would be perfect for. But my number one pick would have been Michael C. Hall from Dexter and Six Feet Under. I think he would have been perfect for the role. Michael C. Hall is an incredible actor and has proved with being the main character of two television series that he has plenty of talent and can do pretty much any role. His character in Dexter sometimes lost his nerve and would change from various feelings and emotions within a second. He would snap out of his anger and frustration and return to calm and reason. I think that would have been a perfect choice for Lex Luthor.
Having said that, I wouldn't be entirely apposed as Jessie Eisenberg playing Superman's arch nemesis. He has played a billionaire before and I think that he can bring a sense of humanity and likeability towards the character of Lex Luthor. What makes me more anxious is that he does not seem like a big threat that needs both Superman and Batman to join forces and fight him together. He can be a threat with his intelligent but not his strength which makes me believe that Lex Luthor won't be the main villain in Man of Steel 2. This is just speculation on my part of course.
On the other hand, I can see Jeremy Irons playing Alfred Pennyworth. He is a great actor and has played a mentor before in Eragon even if that movie was subpar and would be great mentor/parent figure to Bruce Wayne. He has shown time and again that he can play anything to from a hero to a menacing villain like Simon Gruber in Die Hard for a Vengeance. I hope that he will be able to kick some serious asses in the man of steel sequel and help Bruce train like he did in some of the comic books.
Well, here you go, guys. Only time will tell what these casting decisions will offer. I will reserve my judgements until I see the first trailers that we will get for Man of Steel 2. Until then, there's no reason to get upset. Leave a comment below and let me know what you thought about these casting choices.

I am here to just try out the experience of blogging by sharing some of the events from my so called 'Happening life'.
Saturday, May 15, 2010
If life is to be taken as an academic institution where we do have theories , of course, the advices from elders, friends and sometimes even strangers as well as practical sessions where we learn by mistakes , we could actually see that there is lot of learning happening. As I call my life to be a happening one that has gifted me with many practical sessions which has helped me in acquiring gyan.Here goes the list of my leanings or what I call gyan…..
- Scene1 :Two kids, myself and my brother, jumping or hopping on the bed, which made me slip of and fall leading to my head to hit the corners of the window. Scene 2:Me ,with a couple of stitches on my head.
Gyan: Always wear your helmets.
- 3rd standard……was running through the verandah and was made to fall down by my classmate, and ya it left another couple of marks on my head….…..donno the reason …still wonder why was that done….I was the class monitor so
Gyan: Spiderman said, with great power comes great responsibilities and to add on it great power do call on to threats too….so stay alert…..
- Evening play time was most eagerly awaited and when u r not a frequent visitor to a park, please do be cautious of any new pond being set up there…..I never knew of such a pond and landed up into it and ya drank plenty of water as if I didn't have enough at home……
Gyan: thanks to the dirty water with all microbes and what not….which has kept me immune till date… ha ha
- My first holy communion , all set in white gown …… another moment, here is a lady on fire in the church and ya its me…. my net caught fire but somehow got saved with minor burns……Funny part was the dance after the service in the church where I was dancing in a gown with a hand sleeveless and other full sleeves….
Gyan: I still can't figure out what I learnt from that incident , may be to be away from fire and being more alert.
- First ride on the bicycle on the roads….being an immature rider, was not good at taking turns or using the brakes rather used to use my legs to stop……I see a turn in front, unable to turn the handle tried stopping using the legs…….another moment was seen on other side of a drainage and the cycle in the drainage….
Gyan: If you hold a cat by the tail you learn things you cannot learn any other way. I learned to use the brake from then on.
- Xmas time….fiddling with stars to be hung , made its ends to poke my eyes….aahhhaaa everyone seems to be shining on their right side…..actually had got an aberration ……couple of days with eyes tied up with medicine led my eyes to look as if someone had given me a bash on my eye…
Gyan: Artificial stars made of paper can be more dangerous than natural ones….so handle with care
Now there are many other incidents that have provided me with the same i.e gyan , some of which I have already written down(like the train jumping, the scrolling down from the tree). I am not very sure if the quota of such happenings is over. If anything else does happen I will definitely keep updating it here.

The BET Awards too place recently, and the obvious colour choice for the ladies was hot white!
Everybody and their mama was wearing white. The makeup trend this year was nude everything, give and take a few red, orange and mauve lips here and there.
Some ladies got the "nude" look just right and others didn't do it for me. Tamar Braxton looked too bare for me and there was something off about her face, maybe its just me.
Sevyn Streeters smokey gunmetal eye makeup didn't do it for me, seemed too heavy. I would have liked if she had a more defined neutral eye. Still beautifl though
Here are some of the ladies who stood out for me. Happy viewing!
Eddie Murphys daughters all grown up!
Sevyn Streeter
Faith Evans
Charlie Baltimore- the blond hair washes out her face. IMO
Amber Rose
Mia Pia love her name!
Adrienne Bailon- beatface!
Gabrielle Union- i would have liked a bit of a smokey eye
Regina Hall
Eva Marcille
Tamar Braxton
Paris Hilton

We live in a global village, just not in the one Marshall McLuhan envisioned.
The Canadian professor who published some of the most influential books on communication believed that the electronic media would transform the world's population into an interconnected tribe. If a prince gets married in England, or there is an earthquake in North Africa, we will all hear about it, and our new gadgets–the telephone, the television–will bring our tribe even closer together.
Thing is, this is no longer true. We rarely read or watch the same news stories nowadays. A report on a North African earthquake will not necessarily reach us.
According to Pew Research Center, Facebook has become the top source for political news among millennials and Gen Xers. We discover new content on social media most of the time. Heavily personalized websites select stories for us based on our preferences, previous interactions, and even our friends' tastes.
Traditional media has long lost the ability to control the flow of the information. But the gatekeeper status was not the only thing that news outlets lost in recent years.
Facebook, Google, and other technology companies took a big chunk of their audiences' attention and advertising revenues, too. On top of that, the Internet giants gained the ability to influence content itself. The stories of online publications will reach significantly fewer people if they are not shareable or written with SEO in mind.
You might ask: Can't media companies turn things around with the similar methods that made social media sites so successful?
No, it seems very unlikely that they can. But according to industry experts, several media companies have been able to lessen the negative effects of recent changes with personalization techniques.
Most online publishers that recommended stories to their visitors with their interests and reading habits in mind saw an increase in the time people spent on their sites. They were also able to grow the number of stories their visitors actually read during their stay since their users spent less time looking for articles and navigating the sites.
The systems developed to discover what kind of stories a reader would favor have other advantages too. The publishers could use the information they collect to match readers with advertisers in a more effective way.
According to a study carried out by researchers of the City University London, personalization might also help publishers convince people to do something most of us like to avoid. It could motivate us to pay for content.
"Personalisation is something that people would expect if they're paying for sites, and something that might encourage them to end up subscribing to sites", one of the researchers Steve Schifferes told journalism.co.uk.
Personalization examples in publishing
The most common forms of content personalization are based on the location, the reading behavior and the topical interest of the visitors. Some sites also take into account what your friends on social networks recommend, or create mobile apps and interactive experiences for their readers.
The Huffington Post is one of the most popular political sites. Its articles are shared by millions on Facebook yearly. The site started to experiment with personalized recommendations two years ago.
The company hoped its new Suggested For You section would increase the shelf life of the enormous amount of articles they publish daily, and convince people to stay a bit longer before they head back to Facebook.
Its recommendation system, which both takes into account the subject you're interested in and other reader's behavioral patterns, turned out to be surprisingly successful and increased article click-through rate by over 50 percent on average in the year it was implemented.
The world's fifth most popular English-language news site, The New York Times' online version, also displays personalized suggestions to its readers. Its recommendation engine was built in-house and tracks which articles sections, and subsections readers frequently visit.
The main goal of the system is to encourage people to subscribe. Besides the recommended articles, signed-in visitors of nytimes.com can also find graphics about their most-viewed sections, topics and recently viewed articles on the site.
Personalization has an even more important role on the mobile version of websites than on their desktop variants, as finding particular sections is more difficult on mobile devices. People are also more used to the instant and personalized experiences on their mobile.
The New York Times, CNN and The Wall Street Journal have all developed apps that are capable of sending push notifications about breaking news. Although the majority of these alerts are sent out after an editorial decision, many news sites try to refine them with algorithms.
"We're putting a lot of thought and energy into customized and personalized alerts that rely on algorithms. Technology is getting increasingly personal and increasingly contextual, and anticipates your needs and your behavior depending on what you're doing. That same kind of thinking needs to be applied to notifications," said David Ho, executive mobile editor of The Wall Street Journal told Niemanlab.org.
Another area where personalization plays an important role is interactive content. The Guardian, for example, created an app that looked at how fast people could run a 10K, and showed users how they ranked in the country based on data they provided. The interactive content helped the British news site to increase the number of subscribers and shares on social networks.
The Filter Bubble
There are stories about important events in the world that most readers wouldn't want to miss. Opposers of news personalization often fear that this method could reach a level where we are going to run out of common topics to discuss. For example, a new patch for your favorite game could be the most important news story for you, but you are a hardly going to have a heated discussion about that with your friends or learn anything new about the world from it.
The other major fear of the critics is that the personalized news could strengthen the filter bubble effect. Social media sites already hide the opinions from our feeds that are opposed to our worldview, and if this trend continued on news sites, it could increase the number of people living in their ideological and cultural bubbles, and weaken social cohesion even more.
While I wouldn't say that these fears are groundless, from the examples I've collected for this article, I don't see this happening yet. After all, readers are going to decide what level of personalization news sites will apply, and it seems that they are both interested in the editorial take on stories on stories, and enjoy personalization, if it makes their life easier, or helps them discover something that they would like to know more about.
Since the sixties, when McLuhan worked on his communication theories, our media consumption habits have changed. Instead of sitting around a screen, we put one in our pocket. The forward-thinking publishers are trying to develop the methods that will help them adapt to the rapidly changing media landscape.
Some alteration seems inevitable. As Matthew Elworthy, the marketing manager of The Next Web, put it in a recent interview to our blog: "If you're an online publisher, soon you're not going to be able to get away with not knowing enough about your users."

text: Hey guys/gals, figured I'd consult the collective wisdom. I'm thinking of purchasing a MM SR5 with either the HH or HS pickups. I like the original receipe, but extra spicy is nice once in awhile. My question is about using a convensional/modern slap style (ala marcus or victor) on the dual pickup musicman basses. I don't slap well at all right now, but I can fake it ok. I'm working through this technique in some of my lessons, but it will take me awhile to really own it. I'm very dependant on muscle memory, and I just haven't invested a ton of time into it yet. Anyway, it's on my wish list at some point. That being said, my current skill level limits my ability to put the suspect bass through its paces for this type of techniqe. What do you think, go or no-go for slap on a dual pickup musicman? A test run earlier in the week shows that it shouldn't be a big deal with just thumb/pop stuff. However.... What about advanced techniques like double-thumb, double-pop? Hrmm.. pickup in the way. Could be a mixed blessing though, could keep too much of my fingers getting under the string, sorta like a ramp? I don't know, guess I should try them out some more. Thoughts? Why a SR5, you ask? Because I want to give 34" scale and narrow(er) string spacing a shot. So far it feels great for the left hand, but the right hand isn't sure what to do yet Besides, I have always loved the SR tone.

I want to share with you some of the things that I have learned so that it seems a little less scary to us all!
Pick your topic! And pick something relevant to your audience. Pay attention to your recent posts that are getting the most attention and that will give you a hint as to what people want to see more of!
Once you have picked your topic then you can pick a date. Find a day where you are not going to be stressed or overwhelmed. Don't do it right before you have to be somewhere. Give yourself plenty of time because we all know shit happens and the worst thing you can do is feel rushed.
Gather your props as necessary. Like I said I have done two lives now and each one featured multiple products. Pick your back ground. I recommend something light and basic. You dont want something with a crazy pattern that is going to take away from the products you are featuring and bright colors don't always show up well in a video.
Pick your spot. You want it to be well lit! It is very important that things a visually pleasing! This one is hard for me because the light in my house is terrible! But I figured it out. In my last live I was featuring Christmas Gifts so I surrounded my products with cute twinkle lights! It brightened things up and added to the ambiance. Its all about the little details!
Plan it out! I literally take notes. Take this tip with a grain of salt. This can be really beneficial for some but for others it can be distracting. I write out all of the info that I want to cover and then I practice out loud a few times. Then I condense my notes to bullet points that I can keep next to me during the Instagram live. The bullet points just remind me of the things that I don't want to forget to mention. Then I do a run through and record it. I watch it back just to be sure that everything looks ok! Again, this is not necessary if you are comfortable with winging it!
Promote it ahead of time. I typically do a post that morning teasing my live. Then I will post a couple of stories throughout the day as well. Some people watch stories more than they look at posts now so you want to make sure you are capturing as many people as possible.
You are going to want people to comment on your live because the more comments you get the more people will end up seeing it do to the algorithm. I have found that a good way to get comments is to ask questions during your live. I typically have music playing in the background and I will ask "is the music ok?" "Leave a thumbs up if it is good". Getting people to engage is really the goal here.
Speaking of engagement, one of the best ways that I have found to get people involved is a giveaway. Ask people to comment on your live or your last post in order to win!
I would also recommend shouting out a couple of your previous posts/other products in your live. It never hurts to give yourself a shameless plug! For example in my last live I was sharing one of my favorite mascaras so I told people to go check out my post on sneaky mascara tips! (see what I did there) ;)
Here's a recap-
Instagram Live Break Down:
- Pick your topic
- Pick your date
- Gather your props
- Pick a spot
- Make notes
- Do a run through
- Promote it!
- Ask questions
- Do a giveaway
- Plug other posts/products
Now get to planning and let me know when your live is! I want to engage!
xx, Prosecco and Projects

PKWARE delivers secure enterprise encryption
Traditional perimeter cybersecurity is obsolete and cannot protect sensitive enterprise data. The business value of persistent data security can be measured with increased efficiencies, reduction of errors from manual migration of data, and secure risk management. With the increased sophistication of cyber-attacks and growing user reliance on the internet, computers, wireless networks, data mobility, and smart devices, the risk for data breaches continues to grow. Nucleus found that cybersecurity is a primary business objective but less than 50 percent of the c-suite business leaders were confident that their company's data was truly secure.

Abland, one of South Africa's leading property developers for over 30 years has been working fiercely with their teams to ensure these two developments are completed on time. The first development is the unique 35 Lower Long, which is Cape Town's newest office tower situated on Lower Long Street in the City Bowl. The second development is the new Industrial Precinct situated on the slopes of the historic Durbanville Hills estate on the N7 near Cape Town, which will allow easy access to all major highways and arterial routes.
Atlantic Hills Business Park
Last year, Abland and its partners Nedbank and Redefine started construction on the Atlantic Hills Business Park, a 72 000 square meters development which is conveniently situated on the Potsdam interchange giving direct access onto the M12 and M13 and immediate access onto the N7. On Friday, 27th July Abland held the Atlantic Hills bridge opening and handover ceremony at Atlantic Hills Drive on the M12 in Cape Town. The bridge was required in order to provide access and egress to and from the business park to the M12 and was officially handed over to the local authorities. Construction of premises for the first occupants at Atlantic Hills Business Park commenced in early 2018.
Abland has already completed construction on phase one and two, both measured at 280 000 square meters of land. Currently, the final phase of the development has commenced. They have also extended the road on the N12, which is on the corner of the N7 and another major arterial route in Cape Town that will now stretch from Atlantic Hills through to Stellenbosch. Abland has commenced the first two projects, the Southern African Fruit Terminals (a cold storage facility) that measure in at 17 500 square meters, and Time Link (logistics transport company) that measures in at 14 500 square meters.
The occupants of this building will be individuals in the transport and logistics business, as such; it's best suited for distribution with easy access to all the major highways and arterial routes.
"We are offering many units for rental and/or purchase of sectional title units. Tenants will receive the full spectrum of leasing, ownership, etc. Essentially clients have the option of renting, owning, and deciding how much space they require – it's completely up to their business requirements as we have enough land available to service their needs," says James Cresswell, Cape Regional Director at Abland.
35 Lower Long
Abland together with their JV Partners The Ellerine Brothers broke ground at 35 Lower Long, the signature tower building that will captivate Cape Town's Foreshore precinct by attracting premium tenants. Construction kicked off last year with the internal stripping and external demolition, the completion of the building is set for November 2019.
The entire building consists of premium-grade office space, which elevates the formerly known Ernest & Young offices. The 24 storey above ground office building comprises of 14 000 square meters of office space with 280 parking bays, and an office penthouse on the top floor. Other amenities such as restuarants, hotels and the CTICC are in the vicinity of the building. This will be a four star green building with very distinctive features with a number of entrances to attract and invite the public into the building. Tenants looking for a signature building with a great corporate image in a fantastic location, which is in close proximity to major transport routes.
"We believe the building will be viewed as a landmark because of its visibility and iconic features. That's definitely one of the criteria tenants look for when searching for office space. Furthermore, tenants will look at the reduced operating costs on a building such as this one compared to some of the older buildings. Commuting to and from work has become tiresome for some, as many spend hours in traffic congestion daily. The new building is ideally situated in the heart of Cape Town's CBD, right next to the MyCiti bus station, easily accessible to public transport and bus routes. Our objective was to develop a building that was easily accessible and visible to all," concludes Cresswell.
For over 30 years Abland Property Developers have been at the forefront of creating ground breaking spaces for businesses across South Africa. With a focused approach on developing space for commercial, retail, industrial, motor and mixed-use precincts they are consistently shaping the South African landscape for the better. Mixed-use developments, better known as precincts, might be a fairly new concept in the South African industry, but for Abland it's one that they have been mastering for a number of years. The idea of creating spaces where one's work life integrates seamlessly with one's lifestyle is something that has led Abland to look at property development in a more holistic way. At Abland, we believe that sustainable building is the way forward. We take the principles of green building seriously and make 'being green' an integral part of our business and building processes. As members of the Green Building Council of South Africa (GBCSA), we are committed to creating a better built environment. With an established footprint in all major cities in South Africa, Abland's most talked about developments are recently completed Alice Lane building in Sandton, Hill on Empire in Parktown, Loftus Park Precinct in Pretoria, Atlantic Hills in Cape Town and the S&J Industrial Estate in Germiston. All these developments are drawing some of the top local and international businesses and brands, which is a testament to the quality spaces Abland is creating.

Hop plants form cone-like flower structures that are yellowish green and very fragrant. These fragrant flowers are popular in brewing or medicines but they are also beautiful as an ornamental plant! Leaves are somewhat heart shaped and deeply lobed with toothed edges. This is a perennial vine that dies back every year. It grows best on a trellis or fence and will live for many years.

2. How does the Government decide the Cap for an individual site?
In a well-designed Cap and Trade system, the Government does not tell any Capped Facility how many kilotonnes of pollutant that facility will be allowed to emit. The only regulatory requirements are (1) monitoring and reporting of emissions (2) retirement of one Allowance or Offset for each emitted kilotonne of pollutant.

For the longest time I made breads, cookies, brownies, pizzas, anything you can think of making at home, I did. I cooked for everyone I knew and loved every second of it. Then, I became seriously ill and found out dairy was not my friend. To my dismay I had to give up the way I ate and cooked in search for foods that would heal my body. Now, almost 4 years later, I find myself able to cook those foods I loved to eat and cook, the only difference is getting more creative with the ingredients I use (it also helps there are great alternatives out there for folks like me). These cookies not only taste SUPER delicious, but are gluten free and VEGAN!! And if you are still eating meat and drinking cow's milk, after eating these cookies you'll be seriously considering veganism!
Vegan/ Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies
Prep time 30 minutes Bake time 12 minutes Yields 20 cookies
What you'll need:
Large glass bowl
Hand mixer or stand mixer
2 cookie sheets
2 1/4 cup gluten free flour or ground quick oats (place 3 cups dry oatmeal into your Vitamix or other high powered blenders and set the variable speed to 6 for 1 minute)
2/3 cup organic sugar
1/2 cup coconut oil (slightly solid) or vegan butter
1/4 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 cup salted creamy peanut butter
3/4 tsp baking powder
1 pinch of sea salt
Optional: 20 peanut butter cups- There are several types, Justin's brand does contain milk, but is gluten free. Cleo's Peanut Butter Cups are vegan. The cookies taste delicious without the peanut butter cups..your choice. Personally, I did half with (non-vegan) milk chocolate kisses for those in my family who do eat/ drink dairy. The other half I did plain, for me!
What to do:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
- Add softened butter or coconut oil to a large mixing bowl. Using hand mixer, beat until smooth, about 1 minute.
- Add sugar and beat until fluffy, about 1 minute.
- Add pumpkin puree, and again, beat until fluffy, about 1 minute.
- Add salted, creamy peanut butter, and beat for about 1 minute.
- Add salt and baking powder, mix in for 30 seconds-1 minute.
- Add the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the batter is stiff and difficult to mix. If, after putting all 2 1/4 cups of flour in, the batter is still sticky, add 1 tbsp of flour at a time until the desired consistency is reached. Place mixture in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Using olive oil, grease the cookie sheets. Or, if you prefer, line the cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- After the 15 minutes is up, portion the cookies using a tablespoon scoop, patting down the tops as needed. If you choose to use the peanut butter cups or Hersey's kisses now is the time to put them on.
- Place in the oven. Allow cookies to bake for 11-13 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Once you pull them out of the over, allow to cool on the cookie sheet for 1-2 minutes. Then, transfer them to a cooling rack.
These lasted in my house for less than 24 hours. So eat 'em while they're hot!
Happy Holidays to all!

The names of Jesus in the Book of Revelation – Part 41
Jesus was born King (Mt 2:2; Mat 27:37)
"Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem 2Saying, "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him." (Mat 2:2)
"Now Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor asked Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews?" Jesus said to him, "It is as you say" (Mat 27:11)
CHRSIT AS KING: An Overview
Biblical teaching is that Jesus of Nazareth fulfilled the OT promises of a perfect King and reigns over His people and the universe. The OT hope for the future included a vision of a new king like David, called "the anointed one," or "the Messiah" in Hebrew (2 Sam. 7:16; 22:51). The Prophet Isaiah intensified the promises and pointed to the Messiah yet to come (Isa. 7:13-14; cp. Ps. 45; 110). The book of Daniel contains a vision of One to whom was given dominion, glory, and a kingdom, One that all peoples, nations, and languages would serve. His dominion is everlasting and shall never pass away. His kingdom shall never be destroyed (Dan. 7:13-14).
When Jesus Christ was born, His birth was announced in these categories. His earthly ministry then amplified these themes (Matt. 4: 17; Luke 1:32-33). Similarly, John the Baptist proclaimed the presence of God's kingdom in the coming of Jesus (Matt. 3). The theme of Jesus as King, Ruler, or Lord dominates the NT from beginning to end. We find the culmination of this theme with the Lord seated on a throne, His enemies being made subject to Him and a new name given: "On His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS" (Rev. 19:16).
The question arises naturally, in what sense is Christ's kingship really operating in today's world?
If He is king, how is it that the world is so little changed and His kingship so little acknowledged? Some would answer that Jesus kingship is completely future. That fails to handle Christ's own statement that the kingdom of God is "in your midst" (Luke 17:21), "among you" (NRSV), or "within you" (KJV, NIV).
Christ's kingship is thus present yet still future, already here and still yet to come, spiritual and universal. The present kingship of Christ is His royal rule over His people (Col. 1:13,18).
It is a spiritual realm established in the hearts and lives of believers. He administers His kingdom by spiritual means—the word and the Spirit.
Whenever believers follow the lordship of Christ, the Saviour is exercising His ruling or kingly function. From this, we understand that His kingship is more concerned with Jesus' reign than with the realm over which this takes place. When we pray "Your kingdom come" as we do in the Lord's prayer (Matt. 6:10), we have in mind this present rule of Christ the King.
Christ's kingship is also present today in the natural world. Christ is the One through whom all things came into being (John 1:3) and through whom all things are held together (Col. 1:17). He is in control of the natural universe as He demonstrated during His earthly ministry (Mark 4:35-41).

Questions Asked of Candidates
1. How have disability issues affected you and your family?
2. What do you see as being the greatest accessibility challenges within your constituency and what will you do to address these challenges?
Candidate Responses
Manitoba Liberal Party Candidate - Peter Chura
Answer 1: My father has mobility issues due to lung disease that severely limits his breathing. The availability of parking close to entrance ways is a constant concern when he goes out, which of course is not nearly as often as he would like. It's just too difficult. He requires oxygen, which greatly limits his ability to travel any distance.
Answer 2: The availability of quality home care is one of the challenges I hear about most often from disabled people in this area. The hours are limited, the skills and strengths of the staff vary greatly, and liability issues limit what many staff are able or willing to do. Improving the availability and quality of home care for seniors and the disabled is a key part of our strategy for health care over all. I have also heard that the province's ability to provide custom engineered mobility technology is not what it once was and I would like to learn more about how this could be improved.
New Democratic Party Candidate - Lise Pinkos
Answer 1. My family and I have been affected by disability. We are a very close extended family. My cousin, only a couple years younger than me, is autistic and lives with cerebral palsy. He values his family, especially his cousins, above all else. For that reason, we have become very close. He has a particular interest for wind and air and so we connect through blowing balloons, watching the waves at the lake and the wind in the trees. He goes to a group program during the day and works at a local hotel a couple of days a week. He is proud to take the bus to and from his program everyday. As a family we each choose a month during which Josef contacts us to make plans to go out. Our month was January this year and we played mini-golf. Josef is a very important member of our family. I do worry about him - I want him to have the supports he needs to live a good life, one that he wants to live, even when his parents are no longer able to take care of him.
My mother-in-law, has MS. As a family we make choices on where we go out and what we do, based on physical accessibility. She does not let much stop her, but it makes me recognize how important it is for people to be able to move around their province and their city freely, in order to be able to live their lives to their fullest.
I have also personally learned a lot about disability through my work at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. We have worked hard to make it one of the most accessible cultural institutions in the world. I have learned so much about what accessibility means and how important it is to make the effort so that all people feel included. It's important to remove barriers in order for people to live with dignity in our province.
Answer 2. From what I have heard on the doorstep, accessible transportation and mobility is the greatest accessibility challenge in Seine River. I have heard that it can be difficult to access the appropriate public transit and that at times our sidewalks can be difficult to navigate for someone in a wheelchair or with other mobility issues.
When I worked at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, one of the first things that I did was travel coast to coast to learn and hear from Canadians about their human rights stories. This was an incredible experience, and while doing this we realized that we needed to ensure that every site where we hosted these events was accessible to ALL Canadians. This was an incredible learning experience for me and made me recognize the important steps we need to take when we move forward with improving our services and infrastructure. Manitobans deserve an inclusive province where everyone has a chance to give back and be a part of their community.
That's why I am running for the NDP. The NDP brought in the historic Accessibility for Manitobans Act and is the only party committed to all five priorities of Disability Matters.
Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba Candidate - Janice Morely-Lecomte
1. Manitobans with disability issues are of importance to the PC party. Living in a global society emphasizes the importance of everyone needing to respect the needs of everyone. One individual not being supported will have an impact on many. The PC Party commits to establishing standards in employment, transportation, information and communication. The need to provide adequate front line workers, accessibility to services, equity in employment, and providing meaningful support for individuals with prolonged disabilities will be reviewed.
2. The greatest challenge faced in Seine River is being able to provide the essential frontline services to individuals with disabilities. The PC Party has promised to increase the number of front line workers so the needs of the most vulnerable are met. Frontline service providers will provide a dignified and supportive environment for individuals struggling with long term disabilities.

Music fans are all over the world, and every person has their taste in music. It is always firstly difficult to start with when you decide which type o genre you like the most and which will keep you at the certain place so that you feel relaxed. Many people like to listen to music while studying, while playing, and also some people like to listen to music while they are in the toilet. So a person gets many options to select from and choose which one is best for them.
Listening music lessens the stress of a person and makes a person feel comfortable. This is always said that the natural things always reduce the stress from the person. Like taking a bath is a natural process. Whenever a person is stressed out, he/she likes to go to the toilet and spend the time all alone. The main perspective here is not just to spend time all alone but to reduce the burden on the brain. The best thing that helps more is music, like hip-hop music, for the people who are more enthusiastic and keep themselves pumped up whatever happens.
The second one is the classical music, which is polite music and helps reduce stress and is better for the mental health of a person. If you want to be calm, this is for you. The effect of background music in the toilet is related more to the listener's fondness for the music that to a specific kind of music. The classical music has a great history to help people relax. Playing the classical music is worth listening if you don't have likes or dislikes for that.
Finding music for yourself is easy when you go to the toilet, as you have to make your own choice that which song could create the best feeling out of you when you are in the toilet. The world music might be the best music when you have to get the style from the rest of the world and that is extremely diverse.
The various kind of ethnic music like folk and traditional music could also help a person feel better when he/she is in the toilet and it can set the mood for the environment that you want at the moment. Moreover, like other genres, you can find many options to find yourself in the best position entering the world of music.
Many people like singing in the toilet while listening to the songs, people like to choose opera music while they have a bath. This is the remedy to reduce stress from the mind and physically. A person always tries to listen to music in high volume due to the high pitch sound of the water running in the toilet. So many people out there love to listen to opera music, which is high in pitch and also helps a person to release the stress while listening to this.
Some of the percentages of people find that the instrumental music is the best music when it comes to listening and feeling. The diverse genre which includes the number of bands without any of the vocal, it focuses on the instruments, which gives a person great feel listening to the different types of instruments at the single moment.
All in all, it is the brain entertainment that is required for a person whenever he/she goes to the toilet. Every person needs to relieve at the time they think of the bath. Moreover, the combination with this is the music which might help people to increase there relieve and reduce their stress not only with the water pouring but also with the volume of the song and the instruments.

Meet 'Jasmine Tridevil', who claims she had plastic surgery to get 3rd breast
Jasmine Tridevil (not her real name) says she has three breasts.
According to an interview she gave to Real Radio 104.1fm, in which she insisted on using the name "Jasmine Tridevil", she claimed to have had plastic surgery to get a third breast.
"It was really hard finding someone that would do it, too, because they're breaking the code of ethics," she said.
She said she eventually found someone to do the surgery, which Huffington Post reported involved taking skin from her abdomen, adding a silicone implant and then grafting it between her natural ones.
However, a website specialising in debunking myths, Snopes.com, has come out to question the legitimacy of Tridevil's claims.
They noted that her website, Jasminetridevil.com has been registered to a massage therapist named Alisha Hessler, whose internet listing for her massage services now includes the description, "Provider of internet hoaxes since 2014" and "Specialist in massage for three breasted women"
The biggest red flag was when they noted that her pictures that are being used all originate from her and that no third party photos of her and her newly acquired breast exists.
Strange claims
While the massage therapist openly confessed to wanting fame and fortune, she denies that she had the surgery done for this purpose.
Instead, she claims that she did it so that she can make herself unattractive to men.
"Because I don't want to date anymore," she said.
So what exactly is she doing to achieve her dream of fame and fortune?
Trying for MTV special?
According to her, she saved up for two years to have a camera crew follow her around in a bid to pitch her reality TV to MTV.
"I'm dumping every penny I have into this. If this doesn't work, I'm through," she added.
Whether her wish comes true or whether she gets fully exposed, you can bet your bottom dollar that we will be here to report it!

Best Practices: Climate Change Adaptation & Mitigation into Environmental Assessments
Climate change has become apparent both locally and globally, and the impacts are placing stress on the infrastructure of the built, natural, social and economic environments. This has resulted in high economic costs for both governments and individuals. Infrastructure damage has cost the province of Ontario millions of dollars. The provinces stance towards climate change has been reactive in nature, resulting in an unsustainable cost burden. If the province of Ontario takes a proactive approach to planning that integrates climate change adaptation and mitigation such as through Environmental Assessment (EA) it will reduce the provinces vulnerability to the changing climate. This guide was prepared for Ontario Climate Consortium and Toronto Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) by graduate students in the Masters in Environment and Sustainability (MES) program in the Centre for Environment and Sustainability (CES) at Western University, London, Ontario, Canada.

Is your business name a façade? Why you might need a DBA.
You might have a great business name, but is it legal? Or is it just a façade that could fall down when pressed by a legal issue such as a lawsuit? That depends on you, and your state, and the simple matter of registering your business name as a DBA — "Doing Business As" name.
Most states require you to register your business name, even if you're just a self-employed individual. The penalties for failing to register vary from state to state. Missouri will fine you $1,000, New Hampshire won't let you advertise, and Colorado will shut your business down. No matter the penalty, most states require you to register as soon as you start doing business.
Even if you're not required to do so by law, it makes sense to register your business name. You might find it difficult to enforce a contract or sue a supplier or client for non-delivery or non-payment if the paperwork uses an unregistered business name.
It's simple to find out the requirements of your state and your business, and it's simple to register your business name as a DBA if it's required. Here's everything you need to know.
What counts as a business name?
If you're a self-employed independent contractor, your state and the IRS will define you as a sole proprietor by default, dealing with you simply as an individual. But if you use a business name of some kind, the state can no longer identify you as an individual, so you will usually have to register the name as a matter of public record.
This public record is important in a well-regulated business environment so consumers can discover the owner behind a business name.
The most common exception to the need for a DBA is if your full name is part of your business name, such as "Jack Frost Ski Rental." If you use a shorter name, like "Frost Ski Rental," you likely still need a DBA because the name doesn't fully identify the owner. In most states, when Jack Frost files a DBA as the business owner, the public record will show "Jack Frost DBA Frost Ski Rental."
Why use a DBA business name?
Most business owners use a DBA name, and spend time coming up with one they like. Independent contractors often choose to use a business name because it looks more professional in business communications, especially with estimates and billing. And, of course, there are numerous marketing advantages.
Even as a sole proprietor, most banks want to see your DBA record when you open a separate business bank account. Everyone likes to know who the person is behind the name they're dealing with.
If you're in one of the half-dozen states that don't require registration of a business name, you won't need to register. But every state has a way to register a business name voluntarily, and it's a good idea. Registering the name is one of the steps to protect it from infringement and keep your branding unique.
How to file a DBA
Look for your state's website, which should provide a lot of business information in an easy-to-read format, and will be a valuable resource for many business issues beyond DBA filing. A simple search should clearly spell out who must file a DBA, what forms to use, and where to file.
Some states may refer to this filing as a "trade name," a "fictitious business name," or an "assumed name." If your state requires you to file in the county where your business is located, but sure to check the website for the county clerk, too.
All states require proof of your identity and some may require that proof to be notarized. Some states might also require a notice of your filing in the local newspaper of record. In many cases you can do all this online.
You'll need to make sure your chosen business name is available in your county or state. Your state government website should provide searchable lists of registered names in their records.
The fees involved in registering a business name are nominal, and the registration typically lasts for a long time, but be sure to check the renewal requirements for your state.
Assumed names for corporations and LLCs
The process described above applies if you operate as a sole proprietor. If you've formed a corporation or an LLC, then you've already filed paperwork that identifies who stands behind the business.
However, if your corporation or LLC does business under a different name from the one you registered with your state government, you will also need to register that assumed name. For example, if "JF Holdings LLC" does business as "Jack Frost Ski Rentals," then that LLC needs to register its assumed name with the state or local government.
Seeking more protection?
Registering your business name is a good idea, and knowing the requirements of your state's laws is essential if you are earning income as anything other than an employee. However, the DBA is only a matter of public record. The filing does not offer any other legal protections or advantages.
To seek liability limitations, hire employees, operate across state lines, separate your personal assets from business risk, and for countless other things, you should explore creating an LLC or corporation.

My chain-smoking mother in law once told me that using too much dish soap causes cancer. I have come to the conclusion that this is why most of the dishes in the cupboard don't look clean! Her pack a day habit seemed to be missing the point.
Sometimes I have to laugh at the sheer irony that instead of inheriting a traditional Italian mother in law, who forbids her daughter in law to work (so far I am not seeing a downside here) and that my sole purpose is to have babies and get fat (again, I fail to see the downside here), I ended up with a carbon copy of my own mother!
A ride in the car with her makes Mario Andretti look like a school kid on his first bike. No shrinking violet, she once ran an Ape (covered scooter) off the road just for being in her way. She also kindly spray-painted the side of someone's car when they continued to park in her space (haven't we all wanted to do this at one point or another?). I don't know whether to be in awe of this woman or in fear!
What's even more amusing is that I am not used to the narrow streets here in Italy and I have scraped the side of her car several times and even taken out a taillight. When I break the news to her she starts to draw diagrams for me on how to manoeuvre the car in the tight spots and then doesn't say another word. I have since become on a first name basis with the used car parts guy and bought a handy can of "Panda green" paint!
I'm told that I have one year before I have to write my Italian driver's exam, so for now I just sail through the roadabouts waving my arms out the window shouting 'scuzi' to anyone I inadvertently cut off. Surprisingly, this is quite effective, and knock on wood, I have yet to have an incident with another car. I just seem to hit inanimate objects like ancient stone walls and rails that protect me from a 6,000 meter drop into the sea.
I've also been told that miracle of all miracles I can write the test in English. But I am hedging a bet that this is not going to do me a peep of good once out on the road with an instructor and his clipboard. I think I will wait for summer and wear a short skirt : )

Stop right there. That thing you're holding in your hand right now could be used to get high.
Okay, so not the computer mouse, but lots of other things. For real. Everyday items you might barely use but have lurking around your house could contain chemicals that can intoxicate you.
Who knew?
Well, more people than you think. And you should, too.
Not because they can get you high – we're not into that – but because they're super dangerous if used in any way other than what they're intended for.
People have actually died because they have tried to use household substances to get high, and they weren't aware of the dangers of the substances. DIED. Not cool, bro.
The worst part? It's mostly kids doing this shit. Kids who are pressured by the social norms of teenage life will use whatever they can to get high. They might hear about something, like nail polish remover, that can provide a trippy experience and be tempted to try it themselves so they can go into school the next day and tell the popular kids about how "BA" they are. Sadly, this situation tends to turn out badly with the kid passing away or suffering permanent brain damage.
Peer pressure is a bitch. So is nail polish remover. Don't drink that stuff.
Household items should not be inhaled, sniffed or injected in any way. If you have kids, then lock that stuff up tight.
Here are 10 dangerous everyday items used to get high:
10 Freon
Freon is a chemical used in your refrigerator, freezer and AC units to produce cold air. However, it can also get you high if you breathe it in directly. Sound like a bad idea? Yeah, that's 'cause it is.
For a while, technicians and repairmen have wondered why some AC units were low on Freon. The geniuses soon figured out people were opening the unit to get to the Freon so they could get high. Freon can damage your liver, heart and brain, and it can cause frostbite on your face and in your airways. It can also cause death.
Do us a favor. Leave the Freon alone, and leave any necessary repairs your appliance may need to the professionals.
9 Nutmeg
Nutmeg is used a lot, especially during the holiday season. You add a touch of it into your eggnog or a pinch on your apple pie, and it adds that little bit of spice that's just perfect. But anything more than a pinch will send you into a psychological panic attack. Not so festive any more, is it?
Nutmeg's key chemical is called myristicin, which has a chemical makeup that's close to ecstasy and amphetamine. Myristicin is a strong hallucinogenic that has a heavy effect, and it only takes five teaspoons of nutmeg to get there. You could spend hours, sometimes days, with symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness and an elevated heart rate. So please put the nutmeg down – right after you're done sprinkling some on your apple pie.
8 Glue
You might want to replace the glue with tape for your next arts and crafts project. It might not look as good, but it also won't affect your mind.
Or kill you. And that's a good thing.
In case you haven't figured this out: Glue was not made to be inhaled into your body. It's made to stick things together. Or, if you're feeling real crazy, to put on your fingers and peel off when it's dry.
Glue contains many organic solvents such as acetone, toluene and xylene. These solvents are as bad as they sound. They act as depressants when inhaled into your bloodstream. And, on top of that, inhaling them can damage your brain cells and cause heart failure, which will lead to your death. Definitely not as cool as tape.
7 White Out
This is just another reason why your first draft should always be in pencil.
Correction fluid, the not-so-technical name for what we know by the popular brand White Out, has many chemicals that can make you high when you inhale it. This can cause slurred speech, muscle tremors, hallucinations, kidney damage and permanent damage to your nervous system. There have been reports of kids losing their sense of smell after sniffing too much White Out.
Add that to your list of dangerous office supplies you have lying around. If you have kids, make sure you throw it out. Or put it in the locked drawer you never even open if you're old-school and refuse to use Microsoft Word to type things up.
6 Cough Syrup
Cough syrup is helpful when you're hacking up a lung, but that's pretty much all it's good for.
Cough syrup is also known as DXM, which is a suppressant that works with your brain to get you to stop coughing. Although it is safe in doses, it can cause a serious high when taken in large portions. Since it alters your brain, drinking a lot of cough syrup can cause hallucinations and strange out-of-body experiences.
Do not take more than the recommended dosages. Those who overdose on cough syrup experience side effects such as higher blood pressure, slowed breathing, nausea, seizures, paranoia, coma and possibly death.
I mean, come on, it doesn't even taste good.
5 Mulberries
Maybe they aren't as poisonous as the berries from The Hunger Games, but they still have a negative effect on your body.
It turns out that unripe mulberries contain a white sap that is very hallucinogenic. It's also a laxative.
Is that quick high really worth all those trips to the bathroom? And since you're hallucinating, chances are you might not be able to find the bathroom anyway. It's a lose-lose on all fronts.
So make sure your mulberries are ripe before buying them — and definitely throw them out if you see anything that might resemble white sap. Ain't nobody got time to deal with that.
4 Whip-Its
The fact that this was discovered as a way to get high really shows that people will do anything for a buzz.
Fun fact: Whip-its are the part of a whipped cream can that forces the cream out of the can. It uses nitrous oxide to force the cream out, and people realized they could inhale this to get high. Whip-its are sold separately, but sometimes people will just take them straight from the can.
Not-so-fun-fact: Whip-its are extremely dangerous. The nitrous oxide gas can cause hearing loss, heart failure, brain damage, suffocation and something known as "sudden sniffing death." It can also cause severe frostbite on your face.
3 Nail Polish Remover
Chances are, if you live with a woman, she paints her nails — and then removes that polish when it starts to chip. Which is like, every week.
Nail polish remover is harmless when used for its intended purpose. However, it's dangerous to those who intentionally inhale it. Nail polish remover contains acetone, which slows down bodily functions in the central nervous system. Acetone is also found in paint thinner and other industrial materials.
Nausea, vomiting, headaches, dizziness and unconsciousness are just a few side effects to inhaling nail polish remover.
So add nail polish remover to the list of everyday items you need to store high on a shelf or in a locked drawer. Or just get your girlfriend a gift certificate to get her nails done at the spa.
2 Hand Sanitizer
Germs are bad, right? Well, turns out, so is the stuff keeping your hands germ-free. If you're a frequent user of the stuff, and have kids around who could get into it, you may want to take your chances with germs instead.
Poison control centers have been reporting cases of young kids and teenagers consuming hand sanitizer. Your regular bottle contains 60 to 65 percent ethanol, which is equal to about five shots of hard liquor per container. Kids are getting drunk off of it really fast and are being sent to hospitals as a result.
Extreme ethanol intake could also cause seizures, hypothermia, cardiac arrest, nausea, irregular heartbeat, coma and other horrible side effects.
Use the Purell only for cleaning your hands. No chugging.
1 Computer Cleaning Products
This one has been around for a while so you might already be aware of it. Teenagers are getting high off of computer cleaners — and they are dying.
"Dusting" became popular in the mid-2000s when teens realized they could get high off of computer dusters that clean keyboards. They would inhale the content and enter a drunken state of hallucination. However, the gas would sometimes replace the oxygen in their lungs and kill them.
Hopefully the creation of tablets and on-screen keyboards will eliminate this problem in the near future. But for now, make sure your computer cleaning products are in a safe place.
Don't Try This at Home
Please don't go reaching for these items. They are extremely dangerous, and it's not worth risking your life for a small high.
