Want to speed up the fat burning process with a simple shot glass?
If you watch my Instagram stories (@fitbetweenthelines), you may have caught a glance of my morning apple cider vinegar shots. ACV has become a habit of mine and definitely has it benefits. I take a shot or two every morning on an empty stomach.
ACV gets things moving. It helps regulate blood sugar, improve heart health, and helps in keeping a healthy Alkaline PH level (which therefore reduces cravings, keeps energy levels up, and helps reduce illness and disease).
Like all fermented products, apple cider vinegar is made using active yeast that is combined with sugar. In this case, it is a naturally occurring sugar from crushed apples. The best apple cider vinegar for health and wellness should be made from certified organic apples. Pasteurization is not required because this process kills many of the nutrients and enzymes. The acidity of the vinegar is enough to prevent unhealthy bacteria (including E. Coli) from developing. After the fermentation process is completed, the result is the formation of acetic acid, the main beneficial compound found in apple cider vinegar.
The murky brown appearance of ACV, as well as the strands of yeast that may be present, actually mean that the cider is good-quality.
Although ACV is made using sugar, the sugar is consumed during fermentation, so you barely ingest any of it in the finished product. ACV has about 3-5 calories per tablespoon, and a little typically goes a long way. So you wind up with a very beneficial drink for virtually no calories or sugar. In fact, one of the biggest benefits of consuming ACV is that it has a positive effect on blood sugar levels, helping to keep them stable and to reduce risk for diabetes or hypoglycemia.
ACV was first used as an a natural disinfectant (and still is today). Vinegar is known to have anti-fungal abilities and to kill harmful bacteria and pathogens, so traditionally people used it to clean their homes, bodies, and to fight off fungus from forming. Today, many people still use ACV , and other types of vinegar, for a wide range of cleansing uses.
It is imperative that you select organic, unfiltered and unpasteurized apple cider vinegar to reap its many health and beauty benefits. Also, look for cloudy vinegar; this is the sign that the friendly enzymes and bacteria that promote healing have not been removed. The cloudy strands is what is referred to as the "mother" probiotics.
It is important to note that not all apple cider vinegar is created equally! To get the most out of using ACV, make sure you buy it raw and with the "mother" intact, which means it still contains the beneficial compounds including probiotics.
How do you use ACV?

VIII Step Three
Instructions are given for the Sashed Half Hexi Quilt first, then the Tube Quilt.
HALF HEXI: After all blocks are completed, decide on the layout of the blocks. Turn adjacent blocks in different directions to add variety to the design. There will be a 1″ sashing between blocks and also between the rows, a 1″ narrow border and then a 3″ wider border. To make a quilt of about 31″x 39″, you will need to make 12 blocks, arranged 3 across and 4 down. Make 20 blocks arranged 4×5 and the quilt will be about 39″ x 47″.
Plan for sashing between the blocks placed in a row. Cut the sashing 1 1/2″ wide and the length of your block, which should be 7 1/2″ Sew sashing to blocks and complete your rows.
Now plan for sashing between the rows, again cutting to a width of 1 1/2″ and the length of your row. Sew sashing to the lower edges of each row except the last. Next cut 1 1/2″ strips to make an inner narrow border. After that is in place, select fabric for a wider outer border: for a 3″ border, cut 3 1/2″ wide.
TUBE QUILT: Complete sewing and cutting the tubes. Each tube will make 8 or 9 units. 8 units will make 2 of the larger (10″) blocks. For an arrangement of 3×4 of the larger blocks you will need to make 6 tubes. For a quilt with 20 of the larger blocks, make 10 tubes.
Arrange your smaller units as desired. There are several ways to place and join the smaller units –the photos to the right and below the text show examples of different ways to arrange the smaller blocks. Once you decide on how you wish to place the smaller blocks, sew adjacent blocks to make units of two and, if the design calls for it, join two of these double units to make a large (10″) block. Be careful to join 2 blocks of the "opposite" color scheme as shown in the photos.
Once you have decided on the final layout, sew rows together. NOTE: You may add sashing between the blocks if desired, but this block probably doesn't benefit from having sashing added. Decide on borders: suggested narrow border (1 1/2″) and then a wider outer border ( 3 or 4″ wide.

It is understandable as to why people are often reluctant to install a spy application on a mobile device. People are often afraid that someone will notice a top spy app is being used on that said device.
But today you can spy on cell phone without installing software on target phone by using an appropriate app. Cocospy can be used on an iOS device to monitor many of the things that someone is doing with the program.
Part 1: Can You Spy On a Cell Phone Without Installing Software on a Target Phone?
Table of Contents
There is a chance for you to get a spy app installed onto a phone without that person knowing. This is perfect as you don't have to worry about a program being found on a device.
It is true that many tracker programs work without being exposed or taking up lots of data usage or disk space. But even then, you might still be worried that a program can stop working or that a phone user will notice the program.
Today you can spy on iOS devices without having to install any programs. This is thanks to the iCloud system.
The iCloud system provides you with access to the data on an iOS phone. This includes regular content that is read through a Wi-Fi link. By using the regular cloud data on a Wi-Fi report, it becomes easier for you to identify content on the target device.
Remember, it is impossible to spy on an Android target device without installing a program. But with an iOS device, you can do just that.
Part 2: How to Remotely Spy on a Cell Phone Without Installing Software On It
You must look at how well you can get a program to load up onto an iOS device. Cocospy is an ideal phone spy app that you can use now.
With Cocospy, you can quickly get information on what someone is doing with an iOS device. This is thanks to the use of the iCloud system. You will get access to someone's iCloud data. The Cocospy program will review the iCloud information on a phone and give you full reports. You will get information on things like:
- Contacts on one's address book
- Calendar data
- SMS and iMessage data

Cocospy iOS non-jailbreak Features
There are many things you can do with Cocospy on your iOS device after you remotely access it through an iCloud account. You do not have to worry about jailbreaking the device to get access to all these features:
- Review the contacts a person has on one's phone.
- Get all call logs and text messages, including iMessages chats, off of the iCloud network.
- Find the user's browser history on the device.

Part 3: How to Remotely Spy on an Android Cell Phone Without Anyone Knowing
You cannot spy on an Android without installing a software program onto a target phone. You would have to physically reach the Android unit if you want to get a spy app working on it. You do not have to root that Android unit, but it would help to do that if you want to get more out of the program you wish to use.
Cocospy Android Solution
Cocospy can work for Android devices even though you would not be able to do this remotely. You can get Cocospy loaded onto an Android device with these steps:
- Sign up to use Cocospy Android Spy App.
- Select that you want to install the program onto an Android device. This would require you to use the proper link on the targeted device.
- Install Cocospy onto the Android device in question. The program will remove its shortcuts after you are finished installing it.
- Start tracking what is on the phone.
The features you would get out of spying on an Android phone are the same as what you would get off of an iOS device.
The process to spy on a cell phone without installing software on target phone is good to note. Cocospy will let you spy on an iPhone or other iOS devices without having to install that program onto the said device. Be sure when using Cocospy that you see how well it loads up and that it works for your demands.

by Health & Wellness Team - October 23, 2014
No, it's not hype: Apples really can help keep doctors away. That's because they're packed with powerful plant chemicals and other substances that fight disease.
Those plant chemicals—including one called quercetin—can help prevent cancer from ever developing. They may even kill off existing cancer cells. Studies of people show that eating one or more apples daily may lower your risk of lung and colon cancers. Lab studies also suggest that apples may suppress the growth of cancerous breast tumors.
What's more, a single apple has at least 10 percent of the vitamin C and fiber you need every day. That vitamin C helps protect you from infection. And that fiber may help prevent heart disease by lowering cholesterol.
Are you trying to trim down? Then bite into an apple. A small one has a mere 75 calories. And its fiber can help you feel full.
Treat yourself
So indulge. Enjoy the taste of crisp, juicy apples. Eat them raw and with their peels—where most of their fiber is found. Or try:
• Adding chopped apples to fruit and vegetable salads for extra crunch and sweetness.
• Baking or stewing apples with carrots, sweet potatoes, winter squash and other veggies.
• Stuffing cored apples with raisins and cinnamon for a quick dessert. Top with a tablespoon of cider, cover with waxed paper and microwave each apple for two minutes.
Apple basics
Choose firm, smooth-skinned apples with intact stems. With more than 100 varieties to choose from, you're sure to find one that suits your taste. But keep in mind that some apples—including Granny Smith, Pippin and Jonagold—hold their texture better than others when baked.
After you buy apples, refrigerate them in a plastic bag and use them within three weeks. But given their taste and merits, you'll probably eat them much sooner.
Try this recipe that incorporates apples into a savory dish good for lunch or dinner!
Turkey, spinach and apple wrap
1 tablespoon reduced-fat mayonnaise
2 teaspoons honey mustard
2 whole-wheat lavash wraps or flour tortillas
2 cups (washed and dried) baby spinach leaves, loosely packed, or 2 large leaves of a soft, leafy green lettuce
4 thin slices turkey breast (4 ounces)
¼ Granny Smith apple, sliced paper-thin
• Combine mayonnaise and mustard. Lay out both wraps. Spread the edges of each with the mayonnaise mixture.
• Leaving a margin free on the side closest to you, arrange a layer of greens on top of wraps. Top each layer with half the turkey. Evenly divide apple slices and lay lengthwise across turkey.
• Fold over the end of the wrap closest to you, then the two sides. Roll the wrap as tightly as possible toward the opposite side.
• Cover each wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate, seam side down, up to 4 hours before serving.
• When ready to serve, remove plastic wrap and cut each wrap in half at an angle.

What a great experience we had photographing Rupal and Sri's destination wedding. We have photographed destination weddings before, our last wedding that we photographed out of the country was in Delhi India. So we were prepared for the long flight. When we landed in Sydney we wanted to get a sense for where things were to take place so we spent some time getting to know the city and where all of Rupal and Sri's wedding festivities were to take place.
We got a little time to be tourists and see the Sydney Opera house, and some of the local shops and restaurants. Unfortunately it was raining the entire time we were there so we did not get to explore the beaches. But, I must say I didn't miss the beaches because we got to hang out near the Sydney Opera house almost every day and it never got old. There were so many people around the Opera House and so much going on that every day it felt like a new experience. The Opera House was so grand and so beautiful and the bay that it was in was always busy with boats and cruises.
Luckily during Sri's bharat the rain stopped for just the right amount of time that all of their guests stayed dry during all the dancing. For their ceremony the rain did come down (that is why you will see the umbrellas in their photos). Despite the rain they had an amazing ceremony with heartfelt joy surrounded by their family and friends.
In our next post we will share with you their reception and photos at the Sydney Opera House.

Science Informed Leadership
Science Informed Leadership is a graduate student-led effort to promote the appointment of executive branch leaders with a demonstrated track record of evidence-based governance that is rooted in scientific evidence and consensus, especially with regard to policy and regulatory issues that directly affect science, energy, the environment, education, and public health.
We empower scientific advocacy by organizing communication resources to enable science-minded citizens to encourage their senators to consider federal appointments that affirm the importance of non-partisan, evidence-based decision-making.
who are science-informed leaders?
Science-informed leaders recognize that public policy requires good science and science requires good public policy. Science without policy has no application, and policy without science has no foundation; this necessitates a collegial relationship between leaders and scientists. Leaders in the executive branch shape the future of science in our nation by creating and implementing policy, directing scientific research and funding in their respective agencies, and advising the President on matters of national interest. An understanding and appreciation of science benefits executive branch leaders as they fulfill each of these roles.
they achieve this by...
Utilizing fact-based decision-making
- Recognizing that truth has no political agenda, and that while public policy is necessarily shaped by the values and experience of decision-makers, it must also be informed by facts and evidence, which cannot be rejected in the name of political expediency.
- Utilizing the best available scientific evidence when making policy and regulatory decisions, and readily deferring to scientists and experts.
- Understanding what science is, how it works, and the role that it plays in driving innovation and progress.
- Prioritizing funding of relevant and independent scientific research within the scope of their agencies.
- Advocating for the independent science sponsored and undertaken by their agency scientists and collaborators.
- Understanding the importance of separating scientific research from corporate or political influences.
- If holding a position where science is one part of a very diverse and complex job (e.g. Secretary of the Interior): having some background in science, an understanding of scientific principles, and a strong track record of engaging professional scientists when making decisions.
- If holding a position that deals exclusively with science (e.g. members of the Office of Science and Technology Policy): being an active research scientist, holding membership in academic societies, and engaging with the broader scientific community.

Well, it was bound to happen eventually. Warner Brothers has found their director for Justice League and it's none other than Zack Snyder director of Watchmen, 300, Sucker Punch, Man of Steel (and the upcoming Batman vs. Superman which still doesn't have a proper title) set to come out in 2016. Since Man of steel 2 was pushed back an entire year, many have speculated that the reason was that the studio was planning to shoot Man of Steel 2 and Justice League back to back. If this is the case, Justice League will probably be released in 2017 or late 2018. But there hasn't been any confirmation as of late by Warner Brothers that this is the route that they are actually going to take. For all we know, they might be planning a Wonder Woman movie, a Flash standalone and a Green Lantern reboot before Justice League. Anything is possible.
As for Zack Snyder directing Justice League, I think it's a smart choice. Perhaps not the best choice, but a safe bet since he has a background in the comic book genre and is familiar with the materiel. He did the best job humanly possible with Watchmen since the movie was filled with a bunch of different characters and he did a great job making all of them relevant. Man of Steel was my favorite superhero film of last year. It was darker and grittier than the Christopher Reeve's Superman films and it successfully succeeded in retelling the origins story where The Amazing Spiderman 2 failed at (in my opinion).
Zack Snyder is an incredible visual director even though he sometimes lacks the substance and depth that The Dark Knight trilogy had. Until now, he's had more hits than misses (Sucker Punch was a visual extravaganza of awesomeness but lacked a good storyline, interesting characters to relate to and the script was terrible) but the rest of his movies have all been great. But having said all that, I think that Ben Affleck would have been the perfect choice to direct Justice League. Ben Affleck is Warner Brother's golden boy right now since he's won them best picture for Argo which he directed and also starred in. A lot of people we're speculating that he had a deal with WB not just to star as Batman but directing Justice League as well. Now that this is not the case, I am convinced that he will indeed direct some of the future Batman standalone movies. After Gone Baby Gone, The Town and now Argo, Affleck has proved that he is one of the most talented directors in the business. I think he would have been a perfect choice for Justice League and it would have given someone else the chance to direct a DC property other than Snyder and Nolan.
But like I said Zack Snyder is a smart choice and I am not at all opposed to the decision of him directing Justice League, even though sometimes it happens that when a director stays on the same franchise too long sometimes they run out of creativity (Sam Raimi director of Spiderman 3) and other times it's better to remain with the same director for all 3 movies (Brett Ratner taking over for X-men 3).
Man of Steel 2 will tell us whether or not Zack Snyder was the right choice to direct Justice League. Until then, only time will tell. Justice League stars as of yet, Henri Cavill, Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot and Ray Fisher.

: CALM Connection: The Surprising Benefits of Making Your Bed Every Day
Posted June 14, 2016
By Anna Soref, Editor in Chief, Organic Connections
For years I intentionally didn't make my bed. Why should I, I wondered. It seemed like five minutes wasted. Then I started hearing about this benefit of the daily practice: If you begin each day with making your bed, then each day begins with an accomplishment. This, I heard, would set your day on an upbeat note. I decided to give it a try. We're not talking hospital corners or anything; I pretty much take two minutes each morning to pull up the duvet and sort out the pillows.
So the accomplishment piece didn't really work for me. Making my bed didn't register as an accomplishment any more than making a cup of coffee or brushing my teeth. But there were other surprising benefits.
1. I actually enjoy the ritual of making the bed. It transitions me from sleep time to wake time. It offers me a closure to the past 24 hours and sets me up for the new day.
2. I love seeing a made bed whenever I enter the bedroom. The effect of seeing a made bed is surprisingly calming. Somehow it sends me a message that no matter what else is going on in my day, there's calm in the bedroom.
3. Then there's the pleasure of pulling back the covers each night. I used to only enjoy this at hotels. At the end of a hectic day I especially love the calmful feeling of not having to sort out sheets and blankets before getting into bed.
Do you make your bed every day? If not, give it a try. You might find you enjoy the calmful ritual and the same benefits that I have.

Tabcorp Files Defense Against AUSTRAC Charges
Australian gambling operator, Tabcorp, has filed its defense in response to an amended civil suit brought against it by the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC).
Tabcorp was accused of an additional 61 money laundering breaches in the amended suit and last week it filed a defense against the charges by the anti-money laundering compliance watchdog in order to prove its innocence.
Chief executive of AUSTRAC, Paul Jevtovic, stated that after a "long and comprehensive assessment" the watchdog found that Tabcorp had failed to improve its standards or compliance in taking sufficient precaution against money laundering and terrorism financing.
Australian law requires financial services companies and gambling operators to proactively monitor customer accounts to ensure they are not being used for the purposes of organised crime or terrorism funding.
AUSTRAC had accused Tabcorp of contravening its reporting obligations a total of 236 times, leading to potential money laundering crimes. According to AUSTRAC these breaches facilitated large scale money laundering by crime syndicates and provided an opportunity to compromise the integrity of the financial system.
Tabcorp presented evidence to contest many of the accusations with the exception of allegations that relate to its NSW business failing to be enrolled as a reporting entity in the required timeframe; its NSW and Victorian businesses not lodging specific suspicious matter reports; failings in Tabcorp's previous AML/CTF program and its NSW business not conducting sufficient verification of a specific customer in one of its retail venues.
Tabcorp has announced its intention to file a response relating to the total amended statement of claims that AUSTRAC lodged. The national Justice set a hearing date which is currently scheduled to commence in June 2017.
The maximum penalty for Tabcorp could be as high as $17 million.

Personalised Cherished Number Plates
Since their humble beginning in 1903, cherished numbers have continued to increase in popularity often adding the finishing touch to our prized possessions and very often prove to be a valuable investment.
The First Number Plate Ever Issued
A1 assigned in 1903
The Motor Car Act 1903, which came into force on 1 January 1904, required all motor vehicles to be entered on an official vehicle register, and to carry number plates. The Act was passed in order that vehicles could be easily traced in the event of an accident or contravention of the law. Vehicle registration number plates in the UK are rectangular or square in shape, with the exact permitted dimensions of the plate and its lettering set down in law.
You can find out where your personalised registration number plate was originally issued here.
Students at a school in Surrey have been threatened with having their bikes locked away unless they comply with a new policy on cycling to school, which includes having a number plate attached to their bikes.
In a letter sent to parents, Keith Batchelor, head of the Beacon School in Banstead, said that he was implementing new rules on children cycling into school, and parents would have to sign an agreement before their children were allowed to ride in.
As well as telling students to stick to the Highway Code, wear a helmet, and use hi-vis clothing and bike lights "where appropriate", the new rules also mean that students will have to have a number plate (supplied by the school) attached to their bikes, which Mr Batchelor hoping that this will make students not following the rules more identifiable.
"On joining the school this September, I decided to refine the current cycling policy to enhance further the safety of the students in our care and develop their sense of responsibility on the road," Mr Batchelor said in a statement, as reported by Get Surrey.
"The procedures will support the safeguarding of our students on their journeys to and from school and help us to celebrate safe cycling. We will provide extra training to students where it is needed."
As part of the new policy, the school says that students who fail to follow the rules may be banned from cycling to school, with those who continue to ride in having their bikes locked up until their parents or carers are available to collect them.
Number plates for bikes have been the subject of discussion in recent months after a survey by Halfords found that two-thirds of respondents were in favour of cyclists having to have them attached to their bikes.
However the idea came was slammed by both cycling campaigners and motoring groups, with the AA describing it as "impractical and unnecessary" while Cycling UK said "rather than encouraging people to cycle, and bring all the associated health and wealth benefits, it is more than likely to put newcomers or occasional cyclists off cycling altogether."
The number plate 1D was bought for a record £352,000 at auction yesterday.
Tycoon Nabil Bishara won it in fierce bidding and plans to put it on his wife's Bentley.
His £352,411 offer beats the previous £254,000 best for a DVLA sale, set by 51NGH in 2006. The DVLA's Damian Lawson said after the auction in Claverdon, Warks: We're absolutely over the moon."
Britain's priciest car reg is F1, bought privately for £440,625 in 2008 by Afzal Kahn of Bradford, West Yorks."

It had been expected to sell for between £15,000 and £25,000 but the first Manx vehicle registration plate ever to be issued was eventually sold last week for £100,000. It is, says auctioneer Murray Keefe, a valuable piece of Manx history.
It was the first Isle of Man number plate and people do like to have number 1. At the auction we had 4 telephone lines wanting to bid on the number plate and quite a few bidding in the room so I was not surprised it made so much money knowing that some of the plates in the United Kingdom make substantially more than that.

Concert of Colors: Exposed
Chene Park, 1996

Chene Park, 2004
Rebecca Cook, photographer
On view now through August 31
To mark its 16th year of celebrating the ethnic and cultural diversity of metro Detroit, the Concert of Colors returns to the Max M. Fisher Music Center in downtown Detroit with four days of free, family-friendly live performances, indoors and outdoors, Thursday, July 17 through Sunday, July 20.
To get audiences revved up for the Sweet 16 party next month, the Arab American National Museum (AANM) presents CONCERT OF COLORS: EXPOSED, a multimedia exhibition of action-packed in-concert photographs from past years enhanced by music and hands-on activities. The exhibition, in the Museum's Lower Level Gallery, opens Wednesday, June 4 and runs through Sunday, August 31. It's free with Museum admission.
CONCERT OF COLORS: EXPOSED features 30 full-color images of performers, including Little Richard, Ani DiFranco, War, Angelique Kidjo, Son Seals and Hugh Masekela, and the late Bo Diddley, in never-before-seen photos, along with images of fascinating artists and groups from nations around the globe. A musical soundtrack and projected images help recreate the festival vibe generated by the artists and their adoring audiences.
Most of the photos in the exhibition were shot by respected photographers Rebecca Cook of Detroit and Bruce Harkness of Dearborn.
Since 1990, Rebecca Cook has photographed major news events and major league sporting events in Detroit under contract for Reuters global news service. Her freelance work has appeared in USA Today, New York Times and Time magazine, among other publications. Cook is a longtime resident of Detroit's Cass Corridor, a neighborhood she has documented on film as a personal project. She has been the official Concert of Colors photographer since 2000.
Bruce Harkness took his BFA in photography at the Center for Creative Studies in 1979 and his MFA in Photography at Wayne State University in 1982. He is a veteran photographer of Detroit's neighborhoods, including the 1981 Poletown Project and the Urban Interiors documentary project of 1989, both collaborations with the History Department of Wayne State University. Harkness has been the staff photographer for the City of Dearborn since 1990.
The Concert of Colors is produced in partnership by the Arab American National Museum, New Detroit Inc., Detroit Symphony Orchestra and ACCESS (Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services). New Detroit's Cultural Exchange Network, a consortium of 50 community-based organizations representing metro Detroit's communities of color, also plays an active role. New Detroit and ACCESS established the event in 1993 at Chene Park on Detroit's riverfront. The Detroit Symphony Orchestra hosted the 2005 opening night program and came on board fully in 2006 when its Max M. Fisher Music Center became the host venue.

The heat wave here in the Northeast is getting unbearable. Even with my air conditioning full blast, it feels like 109 degrees. It is hard to focus on doing much of anything much less cook. I was wandering around the web and I found this refreshing, easy yet completely delicious recipe that I thought you might like to try. It is a three-ingredient pasta and it's the perfect thing to make when it is so hot you just cannot function. Enjoy!!!!

Do You Worship Your Work?
By Jim Langley
Work is what we do, but is it really who we are? There is a common tendency to derive much of our sense of identity and worth from our vocations. Often in meeting someone, one of the first questions we ask (or they ask us) is, "What kind of work do you do?" This is a valid question in many instances, but not if used to define who we are – or how we perceive others. It can be too easy to confuse work with worship.
The word "worship" in part comes from "worth-ship" – what is worthy of our attention and adoration, what holds the greatest worth in our eyes. Work is important, but is it worth devoting all our time, energy and resources to it at the expense of everything else?
Being a recovering workaholic myself, I can understand this dilemma. Earlier in my life I would become consumed with what I was doing and lose balance in life. I still need to guard against this temptation; I have learned to ask others to hold me accountable for keeping my life in proper balance.
In Genesis 3, we learn that starting with Adam, everyone must work for their livelihood. Some people see this as a curse, thinking life would be much better without having to work. However, I believe this sets a pattern for experiencing a meaningful life. I have always found work to be good, invigorating and fulfilling. In Genesis 3:19, God states, "By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return." This might not be the message we would prefer to hear, but that is our everyday reality.
Just as the work of our hands can be fulfilling, it can also be consuming – a trap to guard against. The Bible teaches there is a time for work and a time for rest. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 tells us, "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot…a time to tear down and a time to build…a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them…a time to search and a time to give up…."
Even God has a time to work and a time to rest. Genesis 2:2-3 states, "By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all the work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done."
God's handiwork in all He has created is amazing. In our own way, we also want to create something of value that will last. Once we complete a task well-done, we can look back and see it is good, just as God did. In Ecclesiastes 5:18-20, Solomon concluded that work is a "gift of God" and it gives us a "gladness of heart." Because of this, he said in Ecclesiastes 9:10, "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom." There is a certain urgency here; we should consider the work God has assigned to us while there is still time to do it.
At the same time, we must confront the potential challenge of worshipping the work we do. We can become so focused on the work itself that it can become our god. This is one reason God gave His first commandment in Exodus 20:3. He declared, "You shall have no other gods before me." This includes our work.
One of my favorite Bible passages is Colossians 3:23-24, which reminds us, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward." Work is what we do, but not who we are. God is most concerned with who we are and His relationship with us.
Until next week!

We've gotten a lot of feedback about our recent posts on GE. As usual, some readers applauded us. Some said we were brain dead. Some wanted us killed.
We also got some very smart responses. We've excerpted some below. Also please see the comments on the following posts:
- Sorry, GE Shareholders, You Owe $525 Billion
- The Man Who Destroyed GE
- Even At $7, GE's Not Cheap
- The Three Ways GE Can Survive
Nationalise GE, run off GE Capital. IPO the industrial business and give that money back to taxpayers.
GE is done. Put a fork in it. The only thing that will keep it alive is Govt support that ;turns into another zombie. Derivatives, my friend. They didn't teach you about derivatives in your "how to promote internet stocks with extra hype" class, did they? This is all you need to know:
Assume Z= GE, A is GE Capital and B and C are other divisions.
1) If Z=A+B+C and A=0; Z is not necessarily zero. So the idea of "anything multiplied by zero" doesn't apply in this case. What if GE spins off one of those other divisions (i.e. the B or C) and monetizes their value? Isn't it conceivable that Z's value would go up significantly over today's fire-sale stock price?
2) Last I checked, $797 - $525 = $$272 which is GE's assets minus debt, leaving $272. Of course there are a lot of moving parts not included and I will concede that the tangible book value of the company is quite small.
Overall, I believe you guys are piling on and stoking fear which is playing out in the market. This whole fiasco has really soured my view of the market. I think there's a lot of rumor-mongering and manipulating going as hedge funds "bear raid" some of these companies. The fact is GE does not have to sell their assets at fire-sale prices. In fact the balance sheet doesn't even capture the franchise value of the company! This is a world-class brand, with close to $200b in revenue, throwing off huge amounts of cash. My belief is the chance of them defaulting on any debt is slimmer than slim. The most mind-boggling part of this is you're talking about a AAA-rated company being insolvent! It's unbelievable.
[In our defense, we're not the only ones talking about it being insolvent. And we think the really unbelievable part is that a company that many experts believe is insolvent is still rated AAA.]

If you are looking for some pretend-play ideas for young kids, here are two of our favorite ideas! They are fun for kids and they can also be a great opportunity for them to learn new things!
One day my son was playing on the floor with some pom-poms. At some point, he stopped and went to the kitchen drawers looking for something. I was curious to see what he is up to! After a while, he came back in the living room with 3 little bowls. I asked him what is he doing with them. He smiled and proudly told me that he is preparing pom-pom ice-cream.
I loved his idea and I asked if he wants us to make an ice-cream stand. He was happy about my proposal so we soon created our little ice cream shop. While playing with him, I realized that this simple pretend play is a great opportunity for him to learn new things or to practice things that he already knows. So I made the activity a little bit more challenging for him!
If you like the idea of using pretend-play to connect with your child and make learning time more fun, here are 2 ideas that we recently tried and were a big success in our home! Both of them are very easy to set and you'll be able to prepare them in less than 10 minutes.
1. The ice cream stand
We used:
– pom poms
– pipe cleaners (cut in small pieces)
– some bowls and recipients we had at hand.
If you don't have all the craft supplies, you can only use pom poms.
Skills that we practiced: sorting, number recognition, counting, (a little bit of) adding
I taped the colored papers on the table. I drew a circle on each one and Bogdan decided what type of ice cream he wanted me to write on them. Then, I invited him to sort all the pom poms and pieces of pipe cleaners and put them in the circles.
At first, Bogdan was the one who led the activity.
He was happy to prepare ice cream for me. 🙂 When he started to lose interest in the activity, I came up with an idea. It was meant to make the activity more challenging! But also to help Bogdan practice his knowledge about colors and numbers. So I took small pieces of paper and wrote orders for ice cream.
Each order contained a number and a circle of a specific color. That meant that he needed to prepare an ice cream with that specific number and color of pom poms or pipe cleaners. Then, I add more lines on the order so he needed to combine 2-3 different colors in the same bowl. This was a great exercise to practice number recognition and counting!
Here is how one of the ice cream orders looked like:
At the end, we also did a very simple adding game. I asked him easy things like "If I buy 2 scoops of yellow ice cream and 2 scoops of blue ice cream how many scoops will I eat?". He prepared the ice cream with 2 yellow pom poms and 2 blue pom poms. Then, he counted the total number of pom poms in the bowl and told me the answer. It was a fun challenge for him!
2. Grocery store pretend-play
We used:
– a snack and food play set – we have this set from ToysRUs (you can also find it on Amazon); if you have toddlers I recommend you this set (it is more expensive but the quality is way better)
– tape
– color coding labels (like these ones)
– a marker
– colored paper (you can use normal paper too).
Skills that we practiced: sorting, number recognition, counting
First, I divided the table into several sections using the tape. Then I added the color coding labels in every section and I wrote a price on each of them. If you don't have color coding labels, you can just tape small pieces of paper on the table.
I cut the paper into small pieces and created the "bills". The bills had the same numbers as the ones on the table – 5 bills for each number. Then Bogdan sorted the products and put them on the table. Similar products needed to be in the same section.
In our play, Bogdan was the customer and I was the cashier.
He told me what products he wanted one by one. We set a limit of items per visit to the grocery store to make things easier. After he requested the item, I asked him what price does it have. He read the label and I added the number on the receipt.
At the end, he took the receipt and gave me the bills according to the numbers on the receipt. We repeated this until he remained without bills. Then, it was my turn to be the customer and he was the cashier.
After each round, he needed to rearrange all the products on the table. This activity was a good opportunity for him to practice numbers and we had a lot of fun too!
We played both games several times in the past weeks and they were a real success in our home. I hope that you will try them too and that your kids will enjoy them!

This essentially means to practice my basic shapes drawn in 3D. This is more difficult that most people think. A personal reason why this is difficult for me is because I myself love drawing characters as suppose to just random blocks and spheres floating in a void. My solution to this was to create a species made up of the simple shapes I need to practice most. So meet the cubenen! They're creations made from blocks for their head and hands, and a cylindrical bodies.
