How to Protect the Kids During Playtime and When Going Outside
Play has often been known as the work of children. This is the time that they could exercise their growing bodies and they have mild imaginations as well as those important friendships. If your child is cavorting at the beach, the playground or backyard or any other place, then you want to make sure that the child is safe and having fun. One must stay free from the major injuries. Well, you can protect your kid and also their pals from the hazards of the outside environment or during playtime through these safety guidelines.
You must make sure that there is adult supervision. There is nothing that can replace proper adult supervision. From such neighborhood parent to the caring summer day camp counselor, you must understand that supervision is the primary factor to keep such safe play time and to make sure that one is really protected. An adult must be mindful about pushing, overcrowding play equipment as well as shoving. Of course, the waterfront supervision would require the highest level of vigilance. Know that it would actually take a second for a danger to happen. The kids must also be taught to play in a responsible way and not roughhousing on the equipment such as the jungle gyms and the slides.
You must also ensure that there is playground safety. There is the simple swing set to such elaborate and also a colorful play-scape are kid favorites. Before you make the little ones loose, you need to conduct a quick inspection of the premises to check if there are dangers. You have to be sure that the equipment appears well-maintained and also free from such sharp objects and splinters, the protruding nails or screws, standing water and debris.
You must not let the kids below 5 years old use the equipment which are made for the big kids. You must not allow them to go the playground with grass, concrete or dirt ground cover, rubber mats, shredded woodchips, sand or other loosely fitted materials which are 12 inches deep.
Also, if you allow the kids to roam outside, you must be sure that there are no pests which could harm them. There are pests that can cause the child to itch or would make them get diseases. For this reason, you have to be sure that you use the right pest control so that you can make sure that the area is free from pests.
Moreover, you should get an environment-friendly as well as child-friendly pest control products to prevent the kids from becoming sick. For this reason, an important thing that you must do is that you have to call a professional that can do this job to make sure that the product used is safe and pests are kept out of sight.

Marshmallow blow guns are safe and fun for
boys and girls of all ages. Even dads will enjoy this toy. A
marshmallow gun or shooter is a terrific Christmas or birthday gift!
The first marshmallow blow gun I ever received was at a birthday party. We played "Capture the Flag" with marshmallow guns. After the party, we all received a marshmallow gun for a party favor.
If you want to know how to build and shoot a marshmallow gun, the plans are below. Learning how to build and shoot a Marshmallow Gun without plans can be tricky, so we are giving the Marshmallow Gun-Shooter Plans to you for free!
Building the Marshmallow Gun
2. Cut your PVC pipe however long you want the barrel.
3. Cut four pieces of PVC pipe 1/3 of the barrel, two for the handles and two for connecting pieces of PVC pipe together. Cut one piece 1/3 of your handles. Cut one more piece of PVC pipe 1/2 of your barrel.
3. Get two T's, two elbows, and two caps. Place the smallest piece of PVC pipe in between the two T's. Now put two of the PVC pipe (1/3 size of the barrel) on top and bottom of the T's. Place a cap on the bottom PVC pipe and an elbow on the top PVC pipe. Put the barrel in the t that's PVC pipe has a cap on the end of it.
4. Now, place the PVC pipe that is 1/2 of the barrel on your elbow. Put a PVC pipe (1/3 size of the barrel) in the other t. Place an elbow on the end of your PVC pipe that is 1/3 size of your barrel.
5. Place the last PVC pipe (that is 1/3 the size of the barrel) on the T. Place the last cap on the PVC pipe that is a 1/3 size of the barrel.
6. Now that the pieces are all put together start spray painting the marshmellow gun. The marshmallow gun can have designs. If you want designs, cut shapes out on a piece of paper, and spray paint through the paper on to the marshmallow gun.
7. Let dry overnight.
As a side note, you will have leftover materials since PVC only comes in ten foot lengths. Cutting the PVC may be a hassle, as well as painting the gun which takes awhile. Some people choose to buy these guns completely made since you can find them online at inexpensive prices.
Shooting the Marshmallow Gun
First, put a marshmallow in the beginning of the nozzle, the top piece. Do not put it in the barrel. Then blow one big breath of air, not a long weak breath. The bigger and harder the breath, the farther the marshmallow will go. To have even more fun, meet your friends at the park and have a really big marshmallow gun war.
Since you know how to build and shoot a marshmallow gun or shooter, run out to the store and buy your supplies. Before you know it, you will be shooting marshmallows with your own gun.
Hunter Beck produces and sells his own line of unique toys by Ranger Press Toys. To see pictures and designs of completed Marshmallow Guns, go to Marshmallow Shooter Plans

Pastor Sam and Evie Benton were born and raised in the Carolinas. They both graduated from the University of South Carolina, where Sam served as a Chaplain at the University there. Pastor Sam was the founder and President of his own company for 14 years in Chapel Hill, prior to entering full time pastoral ministry; his wife Evie was a stay at home mom, choosing to raise their four precious children
In 1999, Sam stepped into an Associate Pastor role at King's Park International Church in Raleigh-Durham, NC. They were later sent by Every Nation Ministry to serve as Associate Pastors in Houston, TX.
It was during that time, the Lord spoke to them to move to Charlotte to plant a church. Their vision is to build a ministry where lives are changed through genuine encounters with the living God. Advancing God's kingdom in the Charlotte region by co-laboring with other ministries, is a passion of the Benton's.

A friend of mine suggested me to also post my notes on facebook on a blog site so that my random thoughts would appear when someone is happening to google it, then not only my friends can read it, but also some other people who are interested in the same topics. I have been thinking of having my own blog since some times, but the fickle side of me couldn't make a decision which free blog site to harbor my notes. I had my multiply account. So then I got bored and stopped posting from the very first blog. Then I use facebook until my last note before an idea hit me this afternoon. My intuition lead me to wordpress. For what reason? I have no idea. It seems the creativity itself that nudged me (if not pushed me) to choose this blog site, but alas … my problem didn't stop there.
The next trouble was I couldn't (and still can't) decide which theme I want to use. I once tried PressRow because I like the header pic (they have these ancient books which are representing the idea of "Diary of Miracles" as if they're hidden in those books), but then I thought Cutline has much better (and clearer) bodyso it's easier to read. Since I still can't make the decision, I have to use two windows displaying both themes right now so that I can take a look back and forth and once again I admit I hate to choose between two since very long time.
And so I'm thinking this would be the same trouble if I had to choose between Sam Worthtington and Paul Walker when they both liked me. Of course I can't break one of their hearts, can I? But the good thing is they don't, so I'm left only to decide which theme that I really want to use.
Right now I'm using Cutline and changed the header pic with a pic I found in flickr–a panoramic picture of Kurobe Sluice (the photographer himself is not really sure) in Japan. But I can't assure you that I won't change the header pic or back to PressRow some times soon when the mood hit me, but rest assured that choosing between two will always put you in such a hell if you're really such a fickle creature like me.
Update: I finally choose Cutline after playing with the theme and make the most of it. You might find Cutline tutorial interesting. Visit http://cutline.tubetorial.com for more info.

One of our homeless initiative success stories is that of Robert Johnson. No longer homeless, the disabled masonry worker has a happier, more stable life at one of five area apartment complexes for formerly homeless people built with help from $1.8 million in Hampton Roads Community Foundation grants.
The Hampton Roads Community Foundation has many goals for southeastern Virginia region and its people.
But two are at the top:
We achieve these goals by stewarding charitable funds, running a robust grants program, equipping area nonprofit staff members to excel and providing college scholarships.
We are not afraid to take "deep dives" into impact that can take years to accomplish with help from multiple partners. Our role is as a convener, collaborator, "incentivizer" and funder to help:
In 2018 we introduced Understanding Hampton Roads, an ongoing effort to improve civic engagement by bringing key issues to the forefront and inspiring collaboration to solve them.
Over the years collaborative efforts have helped stabilize the arts, re-energizing our region's economy, get our youngest residents off to great starts in life, and reducehomelessness. After incubating initiatives we typically launch them as their own nonprofits or as part of other organizations and then focus on new challenges.
In 2018, after nearly three years of incubation, Minus 9 to 5 became a program of Eastern Virginia Medical School. This early care and education initiative was inspired by research that showed that nearly half of area children under age 6 live in households earning less than 200 percent of the federal poverty line. And, 30 percent live in single-parent homes.
Minus 9 to 5 harnessed the power of more than 100 experts from around our region -- educators, parents, grandparents, health professionals and child-care providers -- to focus on families with children from conception to kindergarten.
Like all our community foundation's work the initiatives highlighted in this section are made possible by the generosity of people -- particularly those who have established charitable funds with us. Such generosity includes contributions of time, ideas and money to making a difference in the lives of area residents these generous donors may have meet. For that, we say thank you!

Data Sharing a Good Idea. Do you have multiple Optus plans in your home? If the answer is Yes, then you can share data between them. Data Pool is the simple, efficient and seamless distribution of data inclusions to those who use it most. Data sharing allows you to share the data between multiple mobile devices like smartphones, tablets and Wi-Fi hotspots or across multiple family members.
Optus Data family sharing is now easier than ever with Optus new "data pool" plans. Here we are providing complete information about Optus Data Share.
With family data sharing, you can combine all the mobile plans registered to your home on the same bill. Several telcos like Telstra, Vodafone and Optus had launched data sharing mobile phone plans. All carriers start their data sharing plans around $30-$35 a month.
In a four members family, mostly Dad don't use his data quota but the kids are addicted to playing Video games and watching youtube videos. So you can share the combined data allocation across the entire family and can avoid excess data charges which in results saves your money.
If you have a SIM for your iPad but don't always use up the data, Don't worry friends! you can use that on your phone as well.
Optus introduced "family sharing" plans in April 2015. The data sharing model has been simplified, and you can now share data across any eligible plans and devices – it may be between multiple family members or across your own gadget collection.
How Data Pool Works
Any My Plan Plus or My Mobile Broadband Plus plans that are on a single bill will automatically have their data allowances combined into a single "data pool".
That applies both to contract My Plan Plus and the SIM-only month to month version. If you exceed the data allowance on your own device Plan and there is still data left in the pool, you'll use that.
- If the pool runs out, you'll pay $10 for an extra 1GB of data, which is added automatically.
- There is no charge for adding devices to the pool – they simply have to be on the same bill.
Optus says existing customers will have their pools enabled automatically.
Note that this only works if you're on the My Plan Plus or My Mobile Broadband Plus plans. If you're signed up to an older Optus plan, you'll have to switch to My Plan Plus or My Mobile Broadband Plus to make use of Optus data sharing.
If you're a contract customer, you may have to sign up for a new contract to qualify.
Note: Optus data sharing is only applied to mobile data.
Optus and Vodafone don't charge any sign-up fee for its family plan Whereas Telstra's Go Mobile sharing plans charge $5 a month.

What is Family Data Sharing?

Dancehall is a dance style often criticised as being sexist by objectifying women. The documentary Bruk Out! A Dancehall Queen Documentary convincingly shows that this is a misunderstanding. One of the interviewees pointedly compares the extravagance of dancehall with punk rock: these women are doing what they want, they feel liberated when they are dancing and the dance is an expression of who they are.
This dynamic documentary follows a number of women – from Japan, Italy, America, Poland, Spain and of course Jamaica – as they prepare for the International Dancehall Queen competition in Jamaica, the birthplace of dancehall. For these women, dancehall is also a way of escaping their backgrounds and pain – of temporarily being in a different world. They all have nicknames, and for some of them this has become a liberating alter ego. Bruk Out! A Dancehall Queen Documentary portrays an energetic subculture bursting with 'female empowerment', in all its glory.
Part of Scopitone Cafe, an eclectic mix of documentaries about music and how it is experienced. Stick around for dancehall performances by Rascals, La Sisters Crew and Junction Crew. The bar is open! Free admission.

While you enjoy going to work each day, you also appreciate knowing that while you are at work that you are in an environment that is safe, functional and productive. While every job has its unique risks, if your employer fails to manage these risks, you and your coworkers could end up hurt. At Angiuli & Gentile, LLP Attorneys at Law, we understand the concerns that workers in New York have when they go to work each day.
Why do construction workers receive so many back injuries?
If you work construction in New York, you likely can answer the above question in one word: lifting. The lifting your job requires you to do numerous times each day can and does take a toll on your back over time. The heavier the things you must lift, and the longer you work at your trade, the greater the toll.
6 Workers' compensation myths
Some of these misunderstandings prevent injured workers from reaping the benefits they need to get back on their feet. Here are just a few of them.

Dow set to tumble after bond market flashes a recession warning
Dow futures slid nearly 200 points Wednesday after the bond market, for the first time in over a decade, flashed a warning signal that has an eerily accurate track record for predicting recessions.
Here's what happened: The 10-year Treasury bond yield fell to 1.627% Wednesday morning, below the 1.632% yield of the 2-year Treasury bond. It marked the first time since 2007 that 10-year bond yields fell below 2-year yields.
US stock futures fell as investors sold stock in companies and moved it into bonds. The Dow was set to open about 1% lower. The broader S&P 500 futures were down 0.9% and Nasdaq futures sank 1.1% Wednesday morning.
CNN Business' Fear and Greed Index signaled investors were fearful. The VIX volatility index spiked 10%.
Investors are on edge because the German economy shrank for the second-straight quarter, and the US-China trade war still looms large over markets, despite the latest truce.
As the global economy sputters, investors are plowing money into long-term US bonds. The 30-year Treasury yield fell to 2.06%, the lowest rate on record.
Government bonds — particularly US Treasuries — are classic "safe-haven" assets that investors like to hold in their portfolios when they're nervous about the economy. Stocks, by contrast, are riskier assets that tend to be more volatile during economic slowdowns.
Here's what this all means: Normally, long-term bonds pay out more than short-term bonds because investors demand to be paid more to tie up their money for a long time. But that key "yield curve" inverted on Wednesday. That means investors are nervous about the near-term prospects for the US economy. Bonds and yields trade in opposite directions, so yields sink when investors buy bonds.
Part of the yield curve has been inverted for several months. In March, the yield on the 3-month Treasury bill rose above the rate on the 10-year Treasury note for the first time since 2007. But Wednesday marked the first time in over a decade that the "main" yield curve — the 2-year / 10-year ratio — had inverted.
That spooked Wall Street, because an inversion of the 2/10 curve has preceded every recession in modern history. That doesn't mean a recession is imminent, however: The Great Recession started two full years after the December 2005 yield-curve inversion.

Blade Nano QX – For a user, you'll also get access to sophisticated features and so, you are going to become more proficient in flying a drone. And, the best part is that, with of the wonderful attributes, you may simply need to part with $70. Sounds pretty cool, right? If you purchase it into BNF (Bind-N-Fly) variant, it does not include a transmitter.
But it's not so pretentious and you're able to use your own transmitter, even in case you've got one. For people who purchase the RTF (Ready-To-Fly) variant, you'll find the transmitter, even although it's only a fundamental one. Before becoming more details with all the Nano QX drone let us talk a little about the business that came up on this particular model. Blade Nano QX is a hobby merchandise distribution company, located in Illinois, that is specially located in Champaign.
Whoever owns the provider is Horizon Hobby along with the Blade assortment of quadcopters is well known worldwide because of their great capabilities. As an example, the Blade array was one of the very first to implement improved security features in their drones and they have an advanced technology named "safe". This aids in creating the flight simpler and secure that's a great touch, particularly for novices.
Design -Blade Nano QX
The Nano QX is a little drone that's accessible as a ready to fly version, meaning that all you need to do in order to receive it into the atmosphere is match the batteries, even then charging them. The manufacturer opted to embrace a very simple design. This is emphasized by the framework that's not anything more than just one bit of plastic along with also a printed circuit board. The canopy only clips in the top together with the bolts having been inserted securely under it.
The framework is made of light plastic that's only tough enough to allow the quad to defy many crashes. This drone weighs only approximately 8.8 oz. Also, it steps 7.2 from 6.3 by 2.5 inches. These make it very acceptable for a novice drone pilot. More, the package typically includes propping guards. They are little pieces of plastic that extend out of the frame outside of the rotating propellers. The importance of those prop guards will probably be valued in the event you accidentally fly to challenges.
Battery and Flight Time – Blade Nano QX
The Nano QX utilizes a little battery a 150 mAh lithium-ion pack, that compels it for approximately 5 minutes prior to flying. You are able to recharge the battery with the USB charger supplied with all the drone. This battery carries about 25 minutes to completely recharge. It's possible to conveniently swap the batteries you're using by just attaching the cable and then slipping it out in the bottom of this Nano QX and turning this to replace the battery. This very small battery will not last for long however you can find a spare/s that's comparatively affordable. A bunch of four goes for about $20.
Controller – Blade Nano QX
The remote controller for this particular drone has two different sticks and sort of resembles Xbox controller. The clasp is fine and it fits well in your own hands. You'll also understand that the rods are also simple to activate. The left rod of this controller gets the aileron control that will aid in turning the drone off right or left. The ideal rod is designed for rotating the drone on the left or the right side.
You're able to create the Nano QX ascend or descend utilizing the controller and should you want to change the drone motion involving the up-down of those 2 sticks, then simply use the lift controller. Many consumers report that the throttle rod can be transferred making you to readily access the drone to coil off. The power switch can be found on both sticks and it's supposed to assist you to turn the controller of this Nano QX off or on. If you would like to alter the rods' sensitivity level you're able to use the buttons around the ring of this rod.
Flight Performance – Blade Nano QX
The fantastic thing about all the Nano QX is the fact that it may be appreciated by both novices and pros. You're able to make it grow upward or zip about, speeding. You'll be astounded with the controller accuracy because the drone reacts quickly and quickly to orders. However, as a newcomer, you'll require a little bit of time to fix with this controller. Just remember that, once you connect the battery, then you have to put the drone on a level surface. When it's on solid earth, the LED which has been flashing up till today, need to turn a good blue. Even more, exactly like every Blade drone, the most Nano QX comes with SAFE tech. This produces the drone stand in the event you don't touch the controls for a little while. This enriches the drone's security in the event you inadvertently release the controller's thing that typically happens to novices.
Guarantee – Blade Nano QX
The Nano QX is inarguably the ideal newcomer drone on the market with no camera. For over $100 you receive a responsive, agile, and quick micro quad that is very acceptable for indoor in addition to outdoor clocks in tranquil weather. It sports the SAFE technology which makes it great for novices. The manufacturer provides 1 year guarantee period from the date of the purchase. This does not pay damages occasioned by makeup or harm as a consequence of actions of God, industrial usage, accidents, abuse, abuse, or neglect or even a modification of some of its components in addition to buy or fix by unauthorized Hobby Horizon traders.
But it's not so pretentious and you're able to use your own transmitter, even in case you've got one. For people who purchase the RTF (Ready-To-Fly) variant, you'll find the transmitter, even although it's only a fundamental one. Before becoming more details with all the Nano QX drone let us talk a little about the business that came up on this particular model.

Low Friction Insulated U-bolt 69 Mm Id (suit 50 Mm Nb Pipe) - T316 Stainless Steel
Standard Shipping
Product information
|Plumbing Pipe Clamps
|Fruugo ID
|Retailer VRN
Product description
These ubolts have been developed to enable pipes to be securely guided with a minimum of friction so safe-guarding the pipe from expansion & contraction wear due to temperature changes; whilst also reducing the noise & vibration of the pipe.They are fitted with a gap between the ubolt and the pipe enabling the pipe to expand & contract yet keeping it fully guided in position.The rubber base pad acts to reduce the noise & vibration of the pipes as they carry their fluid and it is fitted with a PTFE strip to reduce the friction and hence protects the pipe as it expands & contracts.The patented-pending ubolt sleeve is a low friction silicone rubber which rotates around the ubolt to enable the pipe to move unrestricted but be fully guided in position on the supporting framework.These are a much cheaper and more reliable solution to the conventional rubber lined ubolts which have PTFE bonded to the inside surface of the rubber coated ubolt.Although Ubolts with the PTFE strip bonded to the rubber profile around the ubolts have been in common use for many years, they are prone to the PTFE separating from the rubber due to the difference in the expansion coefficient of the rubber and the PTFE. This problem is eliminated by Graphskill's unique solution of a single medium with minimal friction.Used to prevent galvanic corrosion due to the contact of dissimilar metals in the presence of an electrolyte. Also, for the prevention of wear and / or crushing of composite, thin wall or non ferrous pipework U-Bolt is T316 Stainless steel NB = 50 mmPipe O/D = 60.3 mmA = 69 mmB = 87 mmC = 110 mmD = 10 mmE = 80 mmF = 90 mmG = 30 mmH*T (backing pad) = 25*10 mm Tolerance on dimensions +/- 1 mm.

Stuff We Liked in 2019
One of our favorite year's-end traditions is to look back to all the great books, music, films, and television shows that we were fortunate enough ... Read More
By S. D. Smith •
As a reader of books who also writes, I often feel a distinct, conflicting emotion when I read great books written by great writers. There is the delight, of course. Here is a person made by God doing something beautiful.
Then there is the (often very slight) tinge of despair as I recognize I could never do this. This is less pointed when the genre and style are out of my own vein of writing (such as Patrick O'Brian's books, which are, for me, an unmixed joy I hardly experience in any other fiction).
I have written before on, and firmly believe in, the well-worn wisdom that it's no use in copying others, or feeling bad about how you compare. It's best to find your own voice and write what only you can.
But still that feeling comes. "Am I kidding myself? I can't write like this. This is art. This is compelling."
I guess part of it is simple envy, ordinary coveting. This of course, like all sin, must be rejected.
I want, rather, to be the kind of man who says in his heart, like Robin Hood to Little John in the Errol Flynn film, "I love a man who can better me."
This runs quite counter to the self-important manure which passes for a philosophy of life in our envy-based culture.
May it not be so in us. God be merciful to us.
Great thoughts S.D. Both as a musician and a writer I have had the very same mix of feelings: an awe for the gift of another and an accompanying sort of despair of ever wanting to pick up your own tools again in sheer disgust. But you are right: we have each been called to do what we have been called to do, and certainly improve upon it as we are able. It reminds me of Paul talking about the "manifold" or "multifaceted" wisdom of God in Ephesians. Each of us is a different facet of the jewel–we've got to shine in the way God made us to shine!
Definitely a familiar combination of feelings. A good reminder. Oh, and! I, too, love reading Patrick O'Brian's work!
But still that feeling comes. "Am I kidding myself? I can't write like this. This is art. This is compelling.
I feel this way most days.
If a man were to begin reading Patrick O'Brian, where should he start?
Great post, Sam!
And those feelings are oh-so-normal for all of us. But whether it is writing, playing music, making soup, or changing diapers, God is pleased with our efforts to glorify him.
And God will use what we do to bless those around us, and that is what really matters. And your writing is a blessing, Sam! Keep at it!
Great post, Sam. Especially on the heels of Matt Conner's thought-provoking post from a few days ago.
Also, I've been tempted to read O'Brian's stuff, too. Is there an obvious place to start?
Thanks, kind humans, for your words.
As far as O'Brian goes, book one of the Aubrey/Maturin series is "Master and Commander." And that gives me a chance to point out that it's not for the young, and the principal character is at his worst, as regards his moral character, in the first book. As the series goes on (I am only at book 6 out 21) it only improves in every way.
I am sure many ladies enjoy the series (as I enjoy Jane Austen), but it is the evident masculinity, usually so foreign to modern fiction, which is a significant part of the enjoyment for me.
You have to kind of get used to/immerse yourself in the naval terminology. It is also deliciously antiquated in that regard. Huzzah for the "outdated."
I suppose there is an almost infinite attraction for me in un-(or anti-)modern stories (Tolkien, Lewis, come to mind) where we are not drowned in p.c., media-savvy boundaries of dogmatic, faddish folly.
The Bible is, likewise, so delightfully counter-cultural along these lines, and I find great stories like The Lord of the Rings prepare me for the (at first) shock of it. Then there is the slow recognition, and growing fondness. God is a glorious artist.
This probably deserves it's own post. Sorry. Turning into Ron Block here (and I'm no Ron Block…I could never do what he does –sigh).
As someone who wrote a book heavily featuring Age of Sail naval warfare, I have to say that Patrick O'Brian terrifies me. I tried reading Letter of Marque as 'research' but had to quit because I was close to being scared off writing my own book.
this post was helpful to me (as Andrew pointed out above, particularly tied to Matt's words the other day). It's so easy to want to throw in the towel in the light of my own (perceived or actual) lack of greatness. Art is not done in a void… some portion of greatness is acquired through experience (a healthy dose of "born with it" is mabeline… no, wait… helpful).
Thanks for this post. And hurrah for the Errol Flynn Robin Hood! I had the good fortune to see it on the big screen recently in a classic film series. It's quite delightful.
Well said.
Here's a list of Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin books in order: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_o%27brian#The_Aubrey.E2.80.93Maturin_series
And, S.D.: I'm one of those women you mention who enjoys the series. 🙂
Beautifully said, and exactly something I needed to hear today. Thank you for letting your facet shine!
Thanks, Chris, for the great word picture: "It reminds me of Paul talking about the "manifold" or "multifaceted" wisdom of God in Ephesians. Each of us is a different facet of the jewel–we've got to shine in the way God made us to shine!"
"I am sure many ladies enjoy the series (as I enjoy Jane Austen), but it is the evident masculinity, usually so foreign to modern fiction, which is a significant part of the enjoyment for me." — If you were reading G.A. Henty Samwell, you would be saying the same thing…just being that annoying pest that you know me to be.
Also applicable to Henty: "It is also deliciously antiquated in that regard. Huzzah for the "outdated."
Each of us is to use our gifts according to the grace given to us–not the grace given to someone else. I don't have to be "the best", just the best that I can be.

Conservatives decry rape, regardless of the circumstances, as a horrible crime, and the perpetrators as animals.
Liberals call the victims "hookers" and defend the perps:
Author Gore Vidal says he refuses to feel any sympathy for Roman Polanski's rape victim, whom he dubs a "hooker."
In an interview with The Atlantic, the controversial 83-year-old author of such books as "Myra Breckinridge" and "1876" says of the director's sex scandal, "I really don't give a [expletive]. Look am I going to sit and weep every time a young hooker feels as though she's being taken advantage of?"
The young woman to whom he is referring is Samantha Geimer, who was a 13-year-old aspiring model in 1977 when she was drugged and raped by Polanski.
Vidal went on to say that the media pushed an inaccurate image of Geimer, painting her as an innocent victim as opposed to what he believes to be her true identity.
Liberals attacked Clinton's accusers in a similar fashion, stopping just short of calling them hookers. Instead, they attacked their looks; one was called "a woman with big hair from the trailer park," while another was maligned for the size of her nose. None of the libs who defended Clinton by attacking the victims could bring a shred of real evidence to prove Clinton was innocent. The Bar responded the way Congress refused to: they disbarred the pathetic disgrace for a human being.
Playboy writers published a disgusting list recently–the top ten women they'd love to "hate rape." Every single one of them were conservatives, among them Michelle Malkin, Mary Katherine Ham and FOX News anchor Megyn Kelly (whom I'd have a total crush on if she weren't straight!).
Polanski fled the US in 1978 after pleading guilty to drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl. He's currently in custody in Switzerland awaiting extradition. Now we've got Gore Vidal defending him, blaming the conviction on anti-semitism and calling the victim a hooker to absolve his friend of his sins.
I hate to tell you this, folks, but rape is rape. Even if your victim is perceived to be a prostitute (or actually is one), it's still rape. The instant that person says NO and you don't obey, guess what? It's rape. No questions asked. And a 13-year-old girl? Does anybody really have any delusions that she could have consented to sex with anyone, much less a grown man who had fed her drugs?
Mr. Vidal, you're a sick man, a sad caricature of all that's wrong with our society. If one of my friends had done something like this I would denounce him and dump him without hesitation. You should do the same.

A PAIR of young Perth racing drivers made big impressions in Canada earlier this month, each scoring a podium place at a major motorsport meeting on the streets of Toronto.
Anthony Martin, of Banksia Grove, and Luke Gabin, of Kwinana, both 20, each scored a third place in separate races in the Mazda-powered USF2000 class.
The demanding 2.8km, 11-turn street circuit was made more difficult by heavy rain and a series of incidents badly affected one driver and benefited the other.
Martin, driving for John Cummiskey Racing, qualified fourthfor the day one race, and after a fierce tussle, managed to secure third place for his third podium of the season. It also extended his streak of top-five finishes in five consecutive races.
Next, in fourth spot, came Gabin, 16 seconds astern in his Team Pelfrey car.
The positions were reversed in race two when Gabin finished third and Martin fourth, after an error by the race director.
Martin was running strongly in third place and challenging for second when he was instructed to drop back into fourth place.
Post-race video footage showed that the race director was wrong and it cost Martin a second place.
"Race one was exciting with some close wheel-to-wheel racing at 220km/h with US driver Aaron Telitz, but race two was extremely disappointing," Martin said.
"I knew the car was fast in the wet, in fact I was fastest track, then came that decision forcing me to give up my position."
Race two was Gabin's first trip to the podium and his third top-five finish in the last four races.
He also won the Tilton Hard Charger award, rising from sixth on the grid to third. "I'm extremely happy to end my weekend on a high note," he said.

Science Test- Paper Towels
Scientific Principles- Since paper towels are used to pick up liquids, the volume of liquid it can hold is important. The amount of liquid a towel can absorb can be measured by the volume of liquid it picks up.
Aim- To investigate which kitchen paper is the best at absorbing most liquid.
Hypothesis- I think that Viva/Kleenex will be the best at absorbing most of the liquid because I think it's the thickest paper towel and I think that it can hold a fair amount of liquid that it requires.
• Different types of paper towels- To test out which paper towel absorbs most liquids in the experiment. 1. Home Brand Coles
2. Viva/Kleenex
3. Handee Ultra
• Different types of liquids- To use to test the paper towels with. 1. Orange Sunkist
2. Coke
3. Schweppes Raspberry
• Stopwatch – To time the 30 seconds
• Tape measurer or ruler – To measure the amount of liquid that has been absorbed onto the kitchen paper. • Sticky Tape – To tape the paper towels to A4 Paper after they have been used in the experiment. • 3 cups – To pour the liquids into.
• A4 Paper - To put the kitchen paper towels onto.
• Pen - To label the 3 cm and to gather results.
• Camera – To take a photo of the paper towels.
Risk Assessment Table-
|Item |Risk |Justification | |A4 Paper |First Aid Needed (6) |Paper Cut | |Cup(s) |First Aid Needed (4) |Could cut yourself if some sharp edges | | | |appear or either if the cup smashes. |
1. Grab 3 cups that are the exact same length, width and is the exact same size. 2. Pour into the 1st cup the Coke, pour into the 2nd cup the Sunkist and lastly pour the Raspberry into the 3rd cup. 3. Cut 3 strips of each paper towel the exact length; 3 strips of the Home Brand, 3 strips of the Handee Ultra and 3 strips of the Viva/Kleenex. 4. Grab 3 A4 Paper's and write on the top of the 1st paper; 1St Test. On the 2nd Paper; 2nd Test and on the 3rd Paper; 3rd Test. 5. Write each name of the brand on the top of the paper towel so you can know which paper towel it is. 6. Measure 3 cm on each of the 9 paper towels once it has been cut into strips and draw a line across so it marks 3 cm. 7. Set the timer so it can be put to 30 seconds.
8. Dip one of the paper towels into a liquid, perhaps we choose the raspberry & the viva. 9. Dip the viva paper towel into the raspberry cup and dip it all the way down until you reach the 3 cm line then you start the timer. 10. Click the timer and hold the paper towel inside the cup until the 30 seconds is finished. 11. Stop when the 30 seconds is up and take the paper towel out and put it onto something so all the droplets of the liquid doesn't go onto the A4 Paper. 12. Hold the strip of the paper towel until it has finished dripping. 13. Place onto the A4 Paper when it finishes dripping.
14. Tape the paper towel onto the A4 Paper by using the sticky tape. 15. Measure how much liquid the paper towel absorbed by using a ruler. 16. Label that it was Viva and that it was Raspberry.
17. Record the result.
18. Repeat the same steps until all 9 paper towels have been absorbed.

The first round of the 2014 draft is now in the books.
It wasn't hard to figure out that the Houston Texans would draft Jadeveon Clowney with the first overall pick. And there weren't many other surprises in the top half of the first round, at least in terms of the position where players were drafted. But in the second half of the night, that wasn't the case.
It will be years before we really know which teams knocked it out of the park in the first round, and which teams swung and missed. But, hey, we've spent months trying to project what would happen in four hours Thursday night at Radio City Music Hall. So let's take a look at the best and worst moves in the first round of the 2014 NFL draft.
Oakland Raiders
The Raiders went with conventional wisdom for a change, and came away with Buffalo OLB Khalil Mack. Few expected Mack to fall out of the top three. It wouldn't have been completely shocking if he went No. 1 overall.
In 2009, the Raiders were enamored with Darrius Heyward-Bey's 4.30 speed in the 40-yard dash and took him at No. 7. Heyward-Bey averaged 35 catches a year in four seasons, and now he's with his third team.
Last year, the Raiders traded from No. 3 to No. 12 and took cornerback D.J. Hayden. All they got in return was the Dolphins' second-round pick. They could have asked for a first or a second-round pick in this year's draft in the deal, too. Hayden started just two games with one interception as a rookie and went on injured reserve in November.
For once, the Raiders weren't the loose cannon of the top 10 in the 2014 draft. Taking Mack at No. 5 was a no-brainer. He set NCAA records with 75 tackles for loss and 16 forced fumbles. Throw in 22 passes defensed in college and two interceptions returned for touchdowns last year. Mack might not have Jadeveon Clowney's upside, but he can do more than Clowney. And the Raiders can move him around as they see it. He's extremely versatile.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Sure, the Jaguars needed a quarterback. Chad Henne's not taking them to a Super Bowl. However, they didn't need to take Blake Bortles with the No. 3 pick. Sammy Watkins and Khalil Mack, both safer picks, were still on the board.
The Jaguars could have drafted Watkins or Mack, then packaged some of their 11 picks to get back into the first round. And they'd still have had a shot at Bortles, Johnny Manziel or Teddy Bridgewater. They have the seventh pick in the second round tonight with Jimmy Garoppolo, Derek Carr and Tom Savage still on the board.
Bortles isn't exactly head and shoulders above any of those guys. A reliable, over-the-middle target like Watkins would've helped Bortles adjust to the NFL.
St. Louis Rams
The Rams didn't have to do any wheeling and dealing with the No. 2 and No. 13 picks. They chose Auburn offensive tackle Greg Robinson at No. 2, then sat tight at 13 as Aaron Donald fell into their lap.
Donald, a Pittsburgh defensive tackle, led the nation with 28 tackles for loss and four forced fumbles in 2013. His trophy shelf is filled with the ACC Defensive Player of the Year Award, The Bronko Nagurski Award (Most Outstanding Defensive Player), The Chuck Bednarik Award (Defensive Player of the Year), The John Outland Trophy (Most Outstanding Interior Lineman) and The Vince Lombardi Award (Lineman of the Year).
He should have gone in the top 10, and the Rams got him at 13 to fortify the interior of a defensive line that's bookended by Robert Quinn (19 sacks last season) and Chris Long (8.5 sacks last season). Their defensive line in a 4-3 look is now one of the league's best.
Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys' defense allowed 415 yards per game last season, worst in the NFL. Any defensive player would have been a good pick as long as he had a discernible pulse.
Instead, the Cowboys drafted Zack Martin, an offensive tackle at Notre Dame who might have to move to guard in the NFL. Martin's a "safe," good value pick. His rising stock hoisted him into the top half of the first round in a lot of mock drafts.
But how about a defensive end to replace DeMarcus Ware? How about a safety? The Cowboys could have chosen between the two elite safeties of this class, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and Calvin Pryor.
At least the Cowboys weren't seduced by Johnny Manziel, who was still sitting there. But they need warm bodies for their defense.
New Orleans Saints
The Saints traded up to No. 20 and took Brandin Cooks, the fastest receiver at the NFL Scouting Combine with a 4.33-second 40-yard dash and the NCAA's 2013 leader with 1,730 receiving yards.
Marques Colston caught 75 passes last season, but he turns 31 next month. Lance Moore was second on the list among Saints receivers with 37 catches last year, but he's a Steeler now. The Saints had the second-best passing offense in the NFL last season, but tight end Jimmy Graham and running backs Pierre Thomas and Darren Sproles, who's also gone, had a lot to do with that.
Cooks, who also was second in the nation with 128 receptions last season, can bring production to the receiving corps.
In return for the No. 20 pick, the Cardinals got the Saints' first-round pick, No. 27 and their third-rounder, No. 91. That's a good deal for the Saints, according to the draft pick trade value chart on Drafttek.com.
Kansas City Chiefs
Getting to the quarterback wasn't the Chiefs' problem on defense last year. They were tied for sixth in the NFL with 47 sacks. Stopping the run is where they need help. They allowed 4.5 yards per carry in 2013 and were 22nd with 120.2 yards allowed per game.
So who do the Chiefs pick at No. 23? Dee Ford, a pass-rushing specialist who's weak against the run. If the Chiefs really wanted Ford, they could have waited until the second round or even the third round. The 6'2″, 252-pounder will have to learn to play outside linebacker in the NFL, so the Chiefs shouldn't expect immediate contributions from him.
The Chiefs could have bolstered their 24th-ranked passing offense with Marqise Lee. They also could have had Cyrus Kouandjio to replenish an offensive line that lost Branden Albert.
Cleveland Browns
The Browns got Johnny Manziel and didn't have to use their first pick to get him.
First, the Browns traded the No. 4 pick for the Buffalo Bills' No. 9 pick and Buffalo's first-rounder next year. Then they moved back up a spot and drafted Oklahoma State cornerback Justin Gilbert, a two-in-one ballhawk cornerback and elite kickoff returner. Gilbert scored eight touchdowns in college, two on interception returns and six on kickoff returns. Now the Browns have another potential shutdown corner to pair with Joe Haden.
With Manziel still in the green room, the Browns moved from No. 26 to No. 22, giving the Eagles their third-round pick (No. 83). And they then drafted the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner. The Browns became the only team in the NFL to draft four quarterbacks in the first round since 1999. The last three all were taken at No. 22, but it's easier for Browns fans to get more excited about Johnny Football than a 28-year-old like Brandon Weeden.
Even if Manziel struggles as a rookie, help is on the way next season when the Browns have two first-round picks and an extra fourth-rounder.
Arizona Cardinals
Not only did the Cardinals get fleeced in giving up their No. 20 pick (they should have received a fifth-rounder in addition to the Saints' third-rounder), but they used the pick they got to draft a safety. Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and Calvin Pryor were the only safeties worth taking in the first round, and both were gone. The Cardinals reached and chose Washington State safety Deone Bucannon at No. 27.
The Cardinals were in an ideal situation to draft a quarterback. It's a so-so quarterback class, but they didn't need an immediate starter. Teddy Bridgewater or Derek Carr could have watched and learned while the Cardinals got another year or two out of Carson Palmer.
Minnesota Vikings
Like the Browns, the Vikings acquired both their potential franchise quarterback and strengthened their defense in the first round.
Minnesota swapped positions with the Browns, going from No. 8 to No. 9 and selected UCLA outside linebacker Anthony Barr. The 6'5″, 255-pound senior had 23.5 sacks over the past two seasons and led the nation with six forced fumbles last year.
The Vikings finished the night with a flourish by acquiring the final pick of the first round from the Seattle Seahawks, swooping in front of the quarterback-needy Houston Texans and drafting Teddy Bridgewater. In exchange for the No. 32 pick, the Vikings gave Seattle the No. 40 pick and a fourth-rounder (No. 108).
Christian Ponder, the Vikings' first-round pick in 2011, can't beat out journeyman Matt Cassel for the starting job. The Vikings had to do something at quarterback.
Carolina Panthers
The Panthers desperately needed a receiver and they got one. The problem is, they chose Kelvin Benjamin over Marqise Lee.
Benjamin caught only 84 passes at Florida State, including 54 last season. He led the ACC with 15 touchdown catches last year, but doesn't have an extensive body of work and he doesn't have the surest hands. He dropped three passes against Florida.
Furthermore, Benjamin skipped a workout with an NFL team because he was "tired," according to Gil Brandt.
Kelvin Benjamin 30th in my new rankings. Was told KB recently blew off workout w NFL coach who had made special trip, said he was too tired
— Gil Brandt (@Gil_Brandt) April 10, 2014
Meanwhile, Lee's production might have dropped because of injuries in 2013, but despite being hobbled, he had the heart to make a fourth-down catch on the game-winning drive in USC's upset of Stanford.
Lee led the nation with 118 catches in 2012. Benjamin hasn't come close to that kind of productivity in a season. The Panthers WR corps was extremely thin, but they really reached in drafting Benjamin with so many other playmaking WRs available.

Beatty, Tom and Blow, Laura and Crossley, Thomas and O'Dea, Cormac (2011) Cash by any other name? evidence on labelling from the UK Winter Fuel Payment. Project Report. IFS, IFS website.
- Published Version
Standard economic theory implies that the labelling of cash transfers or cash-equivalents (e.g. child benefits, food stamps) should have no effect on spending patterns. The empirical literature to date does not contradict this proposition. We study the UK Winter Fuel Payment (WFP), a cash transfer to older households. Exploiting sharp eligibility criteria in a regression discontinuity design, we find robust evidence of a behavioural effect of the labelling. On average households spend 41% of the WFP on fuel. If the payment was treated as cash, we would expect households to spend approximately 3% of the payment on fuel.

We are breathing in an era of fast technology; everyone is running towards something to achieve more in less time. When it comes to the world, it's quite clear some industries are doing quality work, and there is a high chance of them to outperform by 2030. Well, it's all about trends as the universe is going towards eccentric trending businesses, which introduce the novel products every few months to keep their consumers engaged. So, here are some of the industries that are likely to outperform by 2030.
- Cryptocurrency
The business of online currencies (Bitcoin, XRP, ether, and litecoin), commonly known as a cryptocurrency, is on peak these days, and it's growing faster than any other thing. Corporate dealers from all over the world are enthusiastically spending their money in cryptocurrency, and it seems the business is not losing its charisma any soon. As per records, the initial price of a coin in 2017 was $1000, and then it raised to $19,000.Predictors have already predicted it the one of the highly demanded industry by 2030, but heart patients should stay away from them as it's full of risks. It is like a share market, so the degree of uncertainty is extremely high.
- Technology
It's among the most profitable industries in the world, and with every new update, Alltech-related products are getting better than before. Spending in Technology can be the wisest decision ever because people are more dependent on gadgets than labor. The corporate sector is highly dependable on machinery, Defense sector needs the latest weapons to secure its territory, and long story short, every other field wants technology in one form or other.
- Digital Marketing
With the boom of online businesses, digital marketing is mandatory now to create awareness about the particular brand on the internet to grab the attention of consumers. Blogging, Search Engine Optimization, Content Writing, Brochures, Advertisements, Campaigns, and much more are the essentials of Digital Marketing. It will be staying for a long time because e-business is overtaking other traditional-style businesses, and the future of digital marketing is not unsecured.
- Real Estate
Another industry, which can never be out of fashion, is none other than real estate. It was a successful business, it is, and it will always be.
Purchase and sale of buildings/properties always benefit the real estate industry in always. However, sometimes, you can face loss, too.
- Cosmetics
There was a time when people think of the use of makeup to look good only, but now it's more like an art. Cosmetics play an essential role in building one's reputation as for how someone presents him/her. Whenever you say cosmetics, one name instantly came into mind, which is South Korea, a highly obsessed country with flawless beauty. It is producing world-class products, and the popularity of its cosmetics isn't a joke. Moreover, it's gaining attention from all over the earth. Not only women, but men are using cosmetics and other skin care products, too.

Washing and drying clothes
Washing clothes
Pedal-powered washing machines have been made at MIT in partnership with a Guatemalan community (see Bicilavadora: A Pedal-powered Washing Machine) and at Humboldt's Campus Center for Appropriate Technology (see HSU Bike powered washing machine). These designs use direct power, rather than generating electricity to run the washer.[1] There are also many more hits on Google.
The Centre for Appropriate Technology (Australia) has had some success in Australian indigenous communities with a hand-operated "washing machine" using a paddle to stir the water, which is popular for washing blankets. Attempts have been made by CAT (or people associated with CAT) to introduce it to Indonesia, but it was not popular, as they felt the clothes were not getting a proper wash.[2]
A television show in Australia in the 1980s ("The Inventors"?) had a small hand-operated washing machine, suitable for nappies, for example, while camping.
Solar hot water could make washing easier and more effective, as the additional cleaning effect from using warm or hot water could be an alternative to hard scrubbing work the hands. Of course, this is not suitable for all materials, especially colored clothing, or clothing which is liable to shrink.
Spin-drying or wringing
In developing countries, after washing and before hanging up, clothes are generally wrung out by hand.[3] This is less effective than the spin cycle of a washing machine, and the result is that the clothes dry less quickly, and have a less fresh smell.[4] Wringing is also hard work, and tough on the skin of the hands.
It may be possible to build an appropriate technology spin dryer.
However, the best solution may be the one which was popular in Western countries before washing machines became popular, i.e. the mangle or clothes wringerDEPRECATED TEMPLATE - PLEASE USE {{W}} INSTEAD., in which clothes are passed between two rollers which squeeze them tightly.
Examples of wringers can be seen at here at Survival Unlimited - these start at around US$100, but it can be expected that they should be much cheaper in a developing country, especially if mass-produced. (Other pictures, including old-style wringers, can be seen at Google image search.)
Reducing the need for washing
Environmental impact and labor can both be saved by reducing the need for washing. This may be done by:
- Airing clothing after it has been worn, by hanging it up, preferably where there is airflow. This makes a huge improvement in the smell of the clothing (especially noticeable in the case of cigarette odors).
- Choosing clothing that needs less washing. Light colors, especially white and cream, usually require more frequent washing.
Drying clothes
Template:Wikipedia p Wealthier people (whether in developing or advanced countries) may choose to use clothes dryers. Some council codes (e.g. in many parts of Sydney, Australia) actually require developers to install clothes dryers.[5] This is very wasteful of energy, and so sustainable alternatives are desirable.
Where drying clothes in public view is not allowed, in order to maintain a tidy appearance, there are designs which can satisfy both sustainability and aesthetics. One approach is to have drying rooms (perhaps a small section of a balcony) with louvers to allow airflow. Another is to have the balcony railing designed in such a way (e.g. with louvers) that drying racks below a certain height are not visible from outside the building.
