Often, when we mention the Proverbs to people, even judges and officials, they say to us, "Oh, that is the Old Covenant. We are in the New Covenant of love now, not the Old Covenant of law." Do you agree? Just what is the relationship of the Old Covenant to the New? Well, what does it say in the Bible about how they relate to each other? That's a good place to begin!
There is a promise in the Old Testament that a new covenant would be given to the people of Israel. Unlike the old, which was engraved on tablets of stone, the new would be written on another tablet: the human heart. Christians believe that the New Testament of the Bible records the substance of that new covenant. Also, they believe it tells us how it was worked out -- how it became real -- in the lives of the first-century believers.
That promise is recorded entirely in the New Testament book of Hebrews, quoting the book of Jeremiah. As both say, it is the vow of the Lord to write His words on the hearts of His people, and put them on their minds. While many consider the Old Covenant to be impossibly old-fashioned, what God was trying to do in the Old is actually what He intends to get in the New:
Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah...But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. (Jeremiah 31:31,33)
Judging by the way the Law, the Prophets, the Psalms, and even the Proverbs punctuate the pages of the New Testament, clearly it was God's intention to write the whole of the Old Covenant on their hearts. They understood that to be a light to the nations (to follow the Lamb wherever He went, and to bring the gospel to all the nations so that the end of the age could come) required the words of His law and His prophets to be written on their hearts. Removing all doubt whatsoever are these words of the Son of God Himself:
Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:17-19)
All the Law must be fulfilled or accomplished, and this task He began but indeed could not finish by Himself -- because much of what is written in the Law and Prophets pertains to a whole people. It has to do with right relationships...
All these and more must be fulfilled in the New Covenant to bring about the witness of the Kingdom.1
Everyone knows that all the moral laws of the Old Covenant are upheld in the New: do not steal, do not murder, do not commit adultery, and do not lie or even covet. All these and more are honored in the New. But did you know that children are to honor their parents, too?
For God commanded, "Honor your father and your mother." (Matthew 15:4)
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. "Honor your father and mother" (this is the first commandment with a promise), "that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land." (Ephesians 6:1-3)
Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. (Colossians 3:20)
So, according to the Savior and the apostle Paul, children are to honor and obey their parents. They are to listen attentively to them as both older and wiser. While these commands are all directed to the children, the responsibility to see that the children obey these commands rests with the parents. This is constitutional law for the people of God, meaning obeying these commands, and seeing to it they are obeyed, are fundamental, unalterable aspects of the relationship of parents and children. If this law is broken, then the rod of discipline removes the guilt from the child's soul, allowing him not simply to be reconciled to his parent, but to be happy and free within himself.
Unless children obey their parents, there will be chaos in the family, as we all know. From that faulty building block springs chaos in society. Children who do not honor and obey their parents only do what is right in their own eyes. They do not develop the self-control and character necessary to be either good workers or good citizens in any society. Their sole guide in life becomes their own selfish desires.
All parents, unless consumed with selfishness themselves, recognize this fact: they are responsible and accountable for their children's behavior. In a bizarre twist, even nations that have stripped parents of their natural right to train their children still hold them responsible for their children's lawless deeds.
The single most important element of developing good character is parents seeing to it that their children obey them. When they do not, discipline removes the natural hostility and alienation that arises in both the parent and the child.
This alienation and the resulting hostility is the root cause of both child abuse on the parent's part, and violent, destructive, and anti-social behavior on the children's part. Truly, parents who hate their children do not discipline them, as Proverbs 13:24 says. States that take away parents' freedom to discipline hate both the parents and children indiscriminately. Children who sense they are hated respond ultimately with rebellion, as the riots of London (2011) and Stockholm (2013) show. The grim rise in violence in the once-peaceful society of Sweden, which outlawed discipline in 1979, is the harbinger shouting a stern warning of what is to come. Will anyone listen?
On issue after issue, from vaccinations to violence on TV, from compulsory education to media celebration of immorality, from junk food to genetically modified organisms, parents the world over are discovering that what is being offered their children is physically, morally, and spiritually TOXIC. Their very awareness of such issues is causing them to consider just what their role is as parents. They sense they must defend that role from uncaring systems that seem out to hurt or at least pollute their precious children. Suddenly, and probably for the first time, they are painfully aware of the kind of world they have brought children into.
Then the issue of their child's misbehavior confronts them. Running into traffic is immensely more serious than eating junk food. The concerned parent doesn't stop to think about first grabbing his child to prevent his immediate harm and correcting him just as promptly. That inner certainty of what to do NOW is the voice of conscience speaking to them in full splendor: to love and protect and correct their child.
Parental authority has a source. It comes to all parents directly from God above. He is the One who gave them their children. All parents have delegated authority from God, to whom they will one day give an account. This authority, this right to rule, is given specifically for the dual purposes of protecting and raising their children in the right way. No other institution or person -- not the state, not the social services, not grandpa and grandma -- have legitimate authority in their children's lives. Only the parents do, and whoever the parents give that right to, for a time, such as teachers. When they do this, they delegate to others the authority that God has delegated to them.
The family, in fact, is an independent institution as high as the state in God's eyes. The institution of the family is the only valid foundation of a society where the rights of individuals are respected, which is what the American Revolution was fought for. Yes, parental power is accountable to government in the nations, but only in crimes clearly condemned by both man and God, such as incest, bodily injury, or murder.
Discipline of children is something parents are commanded to do, both in the Word of God and in their own conscience. No legitimate earthly government can contradict this authority of parents to see to it that their children obey them. Parental authority was not given by the state any more than children were, so it cannot be taken away by the state.
To be fair, a law forbidding parents to discipline their children should itself have no means of enforcement. Otherwise, morally speaking, the law invalidates itself by claiming that it is wrong for parents to compel their children to obey, while it is right for the state to compel the parents to obey.
Imagine the state passing laws it is forbidden to enforce! That would expose the laughingstock that its anti-spanking law makes of parental authority. Why would the state bother passing laws it cannot enforce? It would only cause disrespect of all law and all authority. Likewise, if parents are forbidden to enforce their laws, why should they even bother telling their children what to do? Doing so would only cause disrespect of their word and expose their lack of authority.
A world full of illegitimate children can be the only result. The grave harm to the children first of all, to the family they are part of, and to the society they live in will be without remedy.

In one of the best Compilations of the last years, Tiger's Milk Records' "Peru Maravilloso" already took us on a fascinating journey through Peru's rich sounds. Even though its focus was on latin and cumbia vibes you could still hear some decisive psychedelic rock elements in those tunes - the new and upcoming Compilation "Peru Bravo" is setting its focus directly at those sounds while it celebrates Peru's 60's decade.
In doing so this sampler will take you to another trip through the country's musical history which is not structured by the search for exotic sounds but for original and honest tracks recorded in a radical decade. Elements of Funk, Soul and Rock blend with latin rhythms and instrumentation in an exciting and raw sound you will only find on "Peru Bravo".
Check the label's Bandcamp for more information. Release will be early October.

Sindh to initiate life skills based education for Grade 6-9 students
Sindh is to start life skills education to the students of grade 6-9. Sindh Education Department made an announcement via its official Twitter acount about the Sindh government's approval of life skills education for the secondary students.
Sindh Education Department mentioned in their post that life skills education will be imparted to the students of eight different districts of the province. These districts are as follows:
- Karachi
- Hyderabad
- Mirpurkhas
- Umerkot
- Khairpur
- Nawabshah
- Dadu
- Shahdadkot
However, government of Sindh is also struggling to add life skills education at the primary level as well. In this regard, the Sindh Education Department requested civil society, parents, ulema and teachers to come up with the content which includes the issues of the Pakistani cultures.
The notification circulated stated that, "Life skills based education content includes 19 modules which teach children to be able to protect themselves, personal hygiene, nutrition, human rights, protection from disease such as hepatitis, and that a boy and girl are equal and have equal rights. This information is critical if we want to move forward with social development and build a society, which is safer for our children and to prevent further tragedies like Kasur."
The basic motive behind the initiative stated is that students may get aware of the issues and become capable enough to protect themselves.

Don't Worry, We're In No Hurry - Checkout The 2018 Model Range Rover Velar - Photos
You know so folks see women and get aroused but not me cuz I'm aroused right now. Few vehicles on the road provide as much versatility as a Range Rover. Products from the British automaker provide luxury, fantastic styling and unparalleled off-road capabilities for a vehicle in this class. Though each model tends to stay on the market longer than some competition — the first-gen model was on sale from 1970 until 1996 — they somehow avoid feeling long in the tooth. The 2018 Range Rover Velar is the new kid on the block, and it might just be the company's best-looking vehicle yet.
The Velar is based on the Jaguar F-Pace and slots between the compact Range Rover Evoque and Range Rover Sport, though it's within spitting distance of all of the Sports' dimensions. It shares three of the F-Pace's four engine options - a 247 horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, a 180 horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged diesel engine and a 380 horsepower 3.0-liter supercharged V6, the latter of which comes in our long-term 2018 Jaguar F-Pace. A base Range Rover Velar rings in at just over $50,000, though our mid-tier R-Dynamic D180 HSE adds in quite a few options like Byron Blue paint, a blackout package, a convenience package and four-zone climate control.
Associate Editor Reese Counts:
The Velar is a stunner. I like the styling of the current Range Rover lineup — hell, I like the styling of every Range Rover product — but the Velar somehow seems to still stand out. It's Range Rover distilled and looks like a concept car by comparison, similar to the feel you get looking at the Lexus LC 500. The high belt line, thin lights, blue paint and black trim on our test car all give this a muscular, sporty yet clean look. It's handsome without having to really try hard with superfluous lines or cladding. It just looks good.
The same is true of the interior. Lots of leather and wood accent a simple and clean design. Nearly all Land Rovers and Range Rovers look the same behind the wheel, but the Velar's new two-tier center stack sets it apart. it combines the traditional infotainment screen with a second screen for climate and drive settings. That second screen just flows into the console. It's pretty, even if it does mean there are fewer real buttons. My biggest complaint here is that it doesn't dim quite dark enough at night.
We have to talk about this engine. It's not good, at least not here. It simply doesn't have enough power for American roads. 180 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque may be fine for smaller cities or smaller vehicles, but it feels gutless and anemic running around Detroit. After the initial burst of torque, it falls flat on its face. You're pushing the pedal to the floor and hoping the driver in the lane over sees your white knuckles wrapped around the wheel. I like diesels, I just wish this had the bigger V6 diesel from other Range Rovers.
Still, I like the Velar. A lot. A lot-lot. Like, all the lots. At $75,415, its about $1,000 more expensive than our F-Pace. From behind the wheel, it feels like you're getting $10,000 more car. It just looks and feels nicer. It's not as sharp, but I'm not looking for an SUV to be a sport sedan. I'd take the off-road capabilities over the F-Pace's sharp dynamics any day, even with the dead weight resting under the hood. The biggest competition I see is the current Discovery. It's nearly as new, though it doesn't have as nice of an interior. That said, it does get the V6 diesel, and you get to use the term Disco in casual conversation. Velar just doesn't have the same ring.
Senior Producer Christopher McGraw:
When I got in the Velar this morning, it was 10 degrees out. I turned on the heated seat and steering wheel, and by the time I was turning out of my sub, I was warm. The Velar is incredibly comfortable, and looking around the ivory leather-filled interior, it feels premium. The two-screen infotainment system is fairly easy to use, though much like the infotainment system in our long-term Jag F-Pace, it was a little slow to get going this morning. That, and a quick drive with the cleanest of hands will leave fingerprints and smudges all over what was once a handsome, glossy touchscreen.
Outside, the Velar is gorgeous. I have said before that our F-Pace S is the best looking SUV on the market. The Velar might be its closest competition. The biggest drawback is the 180-horsepower diesel engine. Lethargic is an understatement. Even in sport mode, accelerator reaction time is slow, and this configuration is anything but quick. That said, there are two gas variants that provide more power that I am eager to test.

Washington DC [USA], June 11 (ANI): Kim Kardashian surprised her fans with a close-up shot of her newborn son Psalm West.
According to Fox News, the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star posted a cute picture of her baby on Instagram on Monday.
"Psalm Ye," Kardashian, 38, captioned the sweet picture on Twitter handle, which featured the 1-month-old -- in a white onesie -- sound asleep.
Fans of the star were quick enough to respond on the adorable picture. They started comparing the newest addition with Kim and Kanye's 16-month-old daughter, Chicago.
When the pair welcomed Psalm via surrogate last month, the 'KKW' beauty mogul also mentioned the resemblance between her two little ones.

A huge majority of Russians rely on state television networks controlled by Moscow to follow updates on the Ukraine crisis, a poll has revealed.
The Moscow-based Levada Centre, an independent organisation, conducted a poll of 1,602 adults in 45 Russian regions.
It found that 94% relied on state TV for their information on the Ukraine crisis. Some 44% believed foreign media outlets to be "not very objective" about the unrest in Ukraine while 50% believed Russia's state media were "generally objective".
A similar poll in March found that 47% were confident of the impartiality of Russian state media outlets.
Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov has claimed that foreign media outlets have refused to broadcast footage of attacks on Russian speakers in the contested east of Ukraine.
"Images [of attacks on civilians in Odessa and Mariupol] would not be shown on respected channels like CNN and BBC, among others," Lavrov said.
Russia's top diplomat also demanded that ambassadors from Western countries based their diplomatic reports on Russian state television. Otherwise, he said, they would be doing a "totally unprofessional job".
Russian president Vladimir Putin has officially recognised 300 journalists for their Crimea coverage including journalists from Russian state television channels such as RT, Channel One and NTV.
This week, the "Donetsk People's Republic" formally asked Russia to consider its accession to the Russian Federation just hours after voting for independence from Kiev.
The European Union has imposed further sanctions on Russia - two Crimean companies and 13 individuals - for its actions in the region.

Valentin Silvestrov: Four Postludes, Hymn
Giya Kancheli: Sio for Orchestra, Piano, and Percussion
Elisaveta Blumina, piano
Thomas Sanderling, conductor
Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra
Grand Piano GP 678 (58:03)
Elisaveta Blumina and the Grand Piano label have done sterling work in recent years in promoting the piano, both solo and concertante, music of post-Soviet composers. The aesthetic politics here are complicated: Silvestrov and Kancheli are both of a religious Minimalist persuasion, even when writing music, as here, that is completely secular. But that school has increasingly moved into a radical, even confrontational position, with tonality and textural simplicity presented not only without apology, but almost in deliberate contravention of Western tastes. The challenge to Modernism here is obvious, but both composers go further, and if the West is willing to concede a neo-Romantic or Postmodern dimension to recent musical culture, even that is challenged. Kancheli is quoted in the liner note extolling Romanticism, with no "neo-" attached, as 'a high dream of past, present, and future.' Conflict seems inevitable, if only at the level of the individual listener coming to terms with this radically ahistoric stance. Blumina herself is Russian but based primarily in Hamburg, a city with a long tradition of supporting recent Russian music (thanks largely to the music publishing industry there), so presumably performs for audiences accustomed to the challenges this music presents. She and her colleges perform the music with real conviction, and there is no sense that the players share my reservations. As such, then, this is an important release, not least because it presents two world premiere recordings, and excellent performances of two other rarely heard works.
Such reflections have little relevance to the first work on the program, although it somehow manages to fit neatly into the ethos of the recording. Galina Ustvolskaya's Concerto for Piano, String Orchestra, and Timpani was written in 1946 when she was 27 years old and just completing her studies at the Leningrad Conservatory (following a long disruption caused by the siege). The style is some distance from the austere Modernism of Ustvolskaya's mature work, the single movement written predominantly in the keys of C Major and C Minor. As well as being in a single movement, the music also seems monothematic, with a four-note trochaic motif dominating from start to finish. The composer herself resisted comparisons with her most famous teacher, Shostakovich, but this motif, and its emphatic recurrence, are reminiscent of Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony. On the other hand, that insistence, the continual focus on a single idea, repeated through different textures and harmonies, is similar to the approach in her later music: For all its tonal convention, this is music of an insistent and uncompromising bent. And, as often with Shostakovich, the positive and optimistic ending feels at least slightly ironic—exaggerated almost to the point of satire.
No such mixed messages in Silvestrov's Four Postludes of 2004. Silvestrov specializes in music with a sense of belatedness, hence the regular us of "postlude" in his titles. That can come through in stylistic play, but just as often, as here, it is achieved through an unspecific sense of nostalgia. The music, throughout, is quiet and reflective, typically with the piano giving attacks to chords and textures, which the strings then sustain in clear, uncomplicated, diatonic harmonies. Silvestrov displays an impressive skill in handling this simplicity. The way that silences are integrated into the discourse is always seamless. And although the music is nostalgic, it is never sentimental, giving a sense of focus, even efficiency, to the work's 16-minute span. The Hymn (2001) that ends the program is in a similar spirit. This work is shorter and is written for strings alone, one to a part. The dynamic never rises above mezzo-piano, and is usually lower, and so the music requires careful concentration, and, again, a sense of deep stillness and reflection is the listener's reward.
Between, we hear Sio for string orchestra, piano, and percussion by Giya Kancheli. The work is based on, or at least invokes, the folk music of Kancheli's native Georgia. He explores the available textures and sounds, including some prominent tuned percussion, over what feels like a series of loosely structured variations. Occasional abrupt changes of texture and mood help to define the contours of the work, and to distinguish it from the more flowing and even Silvestrov scores that frame it. But, like Silvestrov, Kancheli favors simple, diatonic textures, doubled between the piano and the strings, and the simplest of accompaniments. For all its melodic appeal, this remains, at least for me, a radical, even provocative aesthetic stance.
Excellent performances throughout from Blumina and the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra under Thomas Sanderling. This music isn't about virtuosity or high level technical skills, but the sheer amount of rhythmic unison and the radical simplicity of the textures make perfect ensemble and tuning a key requirement, and that is exactly what we hear. The climax of the Ustvolskaya feels a little underwhelming, but it is difficult to decide whether the performers or the, still little-experienced, composer are to blame. I could also imagine the junctions in the Kancheli to be more pointed, although excessive drama would probably ruin the effect. At the other end of the spectrum, the delicate, quiet string textures are ideal, especially for the Silvestrov. Maintaining that sound throughout the Hymn must be real challenge, and the last of the Postludes gradually disappears to nothing, a beautiful effect, especially as presented here.

A top veterinarian in the industry is weighing in on one of the undercover videos animal activists shot at Fair Oaks Farms.
The video released last week was shot from a milking parlor and barn at the nation's largest dairy.
The Center For Food Integrity established an Animal Care Review Panel of top veterinarians to assess this undercover video and provide clarity of what's common practice and what's not.
AgDay national reporter Betsy Jibben had a discussion with one of the panelists, Dr. Jan Shearer, a Professor and Extension Veterinarian at the College of Veterinary Medicine at Iowa State University to break it down scene by scene.

Want an easy way to improve your form conversions? Build forms the smart way and watch your conversions spike.
It's easier than ever to build smart forms with the help of conditional logic.
Conditional logic forms might seem advanced and only for the most experienced website owners, but not anymore. Anyone can use conditional logic to make their forms work in the best way possible with a smart form builder.
Whether you have long forms or forms broken up into multiple pages, Formidable Forms can make them smart yet simple.
If visitors are going to take the time to complete your forms, you've got to make them as easy as possible. Don't give your users a reason to not start or leave forms incomplete.
If you have long, multi-page forms you may have noticed low conversion rates. When forms are long and filled with lots of irrelevant questions, you increase the chance the form will never be finished. You miss out on all that important data you want to collect like contact details, demographic surveys, customer reviews and more.
When form length starts to put people off, use conditional logic to save the day.!
Conditional logic is included in the core Formidable Pro plugin.
New Customer Offer
on your first year of Formidable Forms!
Use conditional logic to tailor forms to each user and show only the fields that need to be seen.
Check out how smart it can make your forms.
We were able to streamline our internal workflow for communications projects, purchasing and facilities by creating forms that are not only contextual, but conditional. These forms ask the right questions and help to significantly shorten our workflow timeline by getting us the right answers and complete content for projects early in the process. It has changed how we work.Jeannie Lucas
Smart forms with conditional logic respond to a user's actions so they are only shown fields that are relevant to them. Users will be shown certain sections based on previous answers they've given.
They won't even see sections that aren't relevant to them based on previous answers. That means no more scrolling through irrelevant sections (potentially missing the relevant ones).
You can automatically show and hide fields, sections of fields, form submit buttons or even skip through entire pages with branching forms.
Shorter forms with fewer fields means increased conversions. You're also more likely to receive fully completed forms because there are fewer options people will want to skip.
Say a user selects Option B in one question. There's no need to show them follow up questions that only relate to Option A. You only need to show them follow up questions that relate to Option B.
Instead, create smart, dynamic forms with conditional fields to ensure that every form you build is closely tailored to and based on user selections.
Studies show that multi-page forms with progress bars further increase conversion rates. With branching forms, full pages can be skipped automatically based on user selections. Maximize form conversion rates with a combination of multi-step forms and conditional branching to make the form look and feel as frictionless as possible.
Conditional logic is something that the pros in web form design are already using.
That's why they have such a slick, streamlined experiences when you arrive on their website and fill in their forms.
Reasons why you should join the pros and start using conditional logic:
Conditional logic forms are easy to adapt and shape the way you want. Whatever your needs, conditional logic will provide a convenient solution. All it takes is a little thought from you in the beginning, and then watch your conversions increase.
Ready to simplify your forms and boost conversions? Get started with Formidable Forms Pro today to get access to incredibly handy conditional logic.

The Canterbury Tales
how would you describe the narrator's values
-his varied medieval life
-the characters he admires the most
-his descriptions of himself
-his varied medieval life
-the characters he admires the most
-his descriptions of himself
The narrator of this Prologue is Chaucer, but this pilgrim Chaucer is not to be too simply identified with the author Chaucer. He explains that in what follows, he is only acting as the faithful reporter of what others have said, without adding or omitting anything; he must not then be blamed for what he reports. Neither must he be blamed if he does not put people in the order of their social rank, "My wit is short, ye may well understand." This persona continues to profess the utter naivety that we have already noted in his uncritical descriptions of the pilgrims.
It is in this way, too, that we should approach the conclusion of the Prologue. Here the Host of the Tabard Inn (Harry Bailey, a historical figure) decides to go with them and ironically it is he, not Chaucer, who proposes the story-telling contest that gives the framework of the Tales. He will also be the ultimate judge of which is the best: "of best sentence and most solas." He is, after all, well prepared by his job to know about the tales people tell! One model for the literary competition would seem to be the meetings of people interested in poetry, known in French as puys, with which Chaucer would have been familiar.

Michael lives at a supported living scheme in Bramham, and often likes to help with the recruitment of staff. He volunteered recently to help with a recruitment day at our registered care home, Errol House in Boston Spa.
Michael arrived early, full of smiles looking forward to meeting the candidates. He had come prepared with canvases, paints and other art materials and was hoping to do some paintings with the candidates. It was going to be a long day but Michael was undeterred and knew what questions he would be asking and what he was looking for in a support worker.
The first person to arrive was the CQC inspector to do an unannounced inspection. She was introduced to Michael and he explained what he was doing at Errol House. Other people arrived to help Michael recruit and candidates were duly given advice on what was required of them with regard to participating in the "art class". There was a lot of laughter, and a lot of questions for the candidates. The standard of the art work produced by Michael was amazing as you can see by the photographs. He also made a lovely Valentines card which he sent to his Valentine – but we won't mention any names as she may read this and know who sent her the card!
Michael went home at 5.00 pm; it had been a long day for him, however he said that he had enjoyed himself and would be back the following day to do it all again.
The CQC inspector left at 7.40 pm and in her feedback commented that it was wonderful to see service users involved in the recruitment process.

Showcasing the beauty and history of Edinburgh
We were commissioned by Marketing Edinburgh, the official destination marketing organisation for the city, to bring to life and showcase MGE.
The new website needed to be full of clear information to help people navigate the beautiful A and B listed venues and their series of events and exhibitions.
Like a brand-new gallery space, this new website will let visitors immerse themselves in the beauty and history of Edinburgh, no matter where they are in the world. The new website will expose our venues and events to new audiences, and provide a space for people to learn about Edinburgh.Councillor Donald Wilson, Culture and Communities Convener
The Solution
The new website was designed to inspire local residents and city visitors alike through rich stories and beautiful imagery and provide detailed information on the city's much-loved museums, galleries and monuments. In time it will become the fifteenth major venue for Edinburgh.
Over time, in future phases, the rich knowledge and experience of curators and staff will be showcased alongside beautiful imagery of the collections, blogs and stories to inspire people to visit and explore further.

Refusal to issue marriage licenses not expression of religious liberty
The following editorial appeared in Friday's Washington Post:
Kim Davis, the county clerk in Kentucky who refuses to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, is going to jail. She brought this on herself by refusing to resign from a government position with duties she openly admits she will not fulfill.
When Davis faced U.S. District Judge David Bunning on Thursday, crucial principles were at stake, but religious freedom wasn't among them. Davis had defied Bunning's order to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. The way for Davis to stick to her convictions and show proper respect to the rule of law was to step down. Instead, she chose to insult the legitimate authority of the federal court and claim the right to ignore the responsibilities with which the people of Rowan County entrusted her. She did this even after the judge offered her the opportunity to "purge" her contempt of court by allowing her deputies to sign same-sex marriage licenses in her place. She refused to do that, too.
It was entirely appropriate for Bunning to apply the only punishment that might realistically compel Davis to comply with the law. The judge reasonably suspected that Davis would be able to weather fines with financial support from same-sex marriage opponents. Deputies in the Rowan County clerk's office may now be able to issue marriage licenses in her absence, which could quickly move the office into compliance with the court. The judge's action also may deter state officials elsewhere from joining Davis in lawlessness.
And what of religious liberty? In Davis's case, it is an irrelevant excuse, not a plausible justification. Davis has every right to oppose same-sex marriage as a private citizen. If she were a member of the clergy, she would have every right to refuse to perform ceremonies for gay men and lesbians. She has every right to petition the Kentucky legislature to offer clerks such as herself some workaround, though she rejected Bunning's, and legislators would have good reasons to say no if asked. But her religious convictions do not excuse her from having to apply the law as it stands in her official duties, a commitment she made when she took office.
You would expect that candidates for president, an office with substantially more power than that of Rowan County clerk, would understand this simple point. Many, however, seem not to. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said Thursday that it is "absurd to put someone in jail for exercising their religious liberties." Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, called on "every lover of liberty to stand with Kim Davis." Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, a Republican, was equally effusive.
Others showed greater wisdom. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., hit the nail on the head: "I support traditional marriage, but she's accepted a job where she has to apply the law to everyone. And that's her choice," he said. That choice remains in Davis's hands.

Del Monte Taps Catalyst:SF for Digital
BOSTON Catalyst:SF said it has added lead digital agency chores on Del Monte Foods following a review.
Spending was not disclosed, but is likely in the $1-2 million range. Both client and agency are in San Francisco. All told, Del Monte spends about $15-20 million in annual domestic measured media, per Nielsen.
Catalyst will now manage digital strategy, media buying and planning across all client brands, including the namesake Del Monte line as well as S&W, Contadina, College Inn, Meow Mix, Kibbles 'n Bits, 9Lives and Milk-Bone, among others.
Bill Pearce, client svp, CMO, said "creating a meaningful and engaging dialog with our consumers" is paramount.
Added Cory Treffiletti, agency president and managing partner: "Del Monte's impressive portfolio includes some of the country's most recognized and cherished brands. To be selected…to represent these brands and drive the equity behind them is very gratifying."
Other review contenders were not disclosed. The client had previously worked with Agency.com on aspects of its digital marketing.
This marks the second agency move in recent weeks by the client, which recently expanded its relationship with independent Smith Brothers Agency in Pittsburgh, awarding that shop integrated marketing chores across its brand portfolio.
Since joining Del Monte last May, Pearce has attempted to juice-up the brand's advertising, eschewing typical category themes for a somewhat more creative approach.

Women of Wabash
JOHN WITCZAK '21 | STAFF WRITER • AsanystudentatWabashwill tell you, the place would completely fall apart if it weren't for the many women that make up the faculty and staff. Whether it be professors, administrators, counselors, cooks, or custodians, one can always find a woman working hard to make the campus we call home run smoothly. Given that Wabash is an all-male institution, it is easy, especially for those unfamiliar with the school, to think only of men when they think of Wabash, but, as we all know, that would be a mistake. The Bachelor set out to speak with a few relatively recent hires in order to get an insider's perspective as to what it is like to be a woman at an all guys college.

Soon after offensive coordinator Brent Pease was hired by the Florida Gators, he made it clear to the coaching staff that he wanted a quarterback as part of the team's 2012 recruiting class. He got his wish Friday as three-star QB Skyler Mornhinweg (Philadelphia, PA) announced that he has officially switched his commitment from the Penn State Nittany Lions to the Gators.
Mornhinweg's decision was first reported by ESPN citing a source close to the situation. Rivals.com confirmed the decision a short while later.
Committed to Penn State since July 19, Mornhinweg (6'3" 215 lbs.) recently began to soften his pledge and wavered in his decision to play in Happy Valley, PA.
He is now Florida's 21st commitment for the 2012 recruiting cycle and will be the fourth scholarship quarterback on UF's roster next season along with sophomores Jacoby Brissett, Jeff Driskel and (redshirt) Tyler Murphy.
[EXPAND Click to expand, read the remainder of this post and view a highlight video.]Taking over the Gators' offense, Pease reached out to the son of friend and Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg, a former teammate of his at Montana. The older Mornhinweg was a four-year starter who set 15 passing records at the school and graduated in 1985, the same year that Pease transferred to the program and sat out a season before starting as a senior in 1986.
The younger Mornhinweg took a trip to Gainesville, FL from Jan. 21-22 and received an official scholarship offer during his visit. However, he was also given a Jan. 25 deadline to decide whether or not he would accept.
The deadline was put in place by Florida because Pease is so dead set on bringing in a signal caller that a backup candidate, Paxton Lynch (Deltona, FL), was in place should Mornhinweg decline the offer. The Gators wound up pulling the deadline as Mornhinweg asked for more time to make his decision.
The Nittany Lions were obviously prepared for the potential defection, gaining a commitment Tuesday from three-star QB Steven Bench (Cairo, GA), a Rice pledge.
Mornhinweg, unranked nationally or positionally by Rivals, is considered a four-star recruit and the No. 19 player at his position by ESPNU.

Hopefully he doesn't have to play soon but highlights remind me of Grossman as far as build and #8. Welcome!
Great last minute pick up as we saw how bad it was last year not having good backups.
Great last minute committment!
Looks like a solid pick up. Wonder why Rivals didn't have him ranked at all? Insight to that would be interesting. Seems to have good touch and can throw on the run and extend the pocket.
Way to go Boom. And welcome to Gator Nation!!
Rivals suck.
No, seriously. Their matrix for determining ranking is beyond nonsensical.
Dude can sling it.
Yep, definitely got a knack for throwing the deep ball.
How meany early enrollees do we have? I'm curious how many scholarships remain. There are still a lot of studs on our board.
25 NCAA max allowed per cycle
+EE's (count against 2011 cycle)
= total scholarship enrollment for 2012
-21 already committed
= remaining scholarships available ( does not consider: flakes, academically ineligible, unused scholarships)
Somebody help
Looks like a good pick up, was kinda getting pumped for Paxton at 6″6 but this kid looks pretty good. Adam, so with him we have 4 qbs. I was under the impression that we are VERY interested in a couple of qbs for next year. Next year we will have 2 juniors, 1 sophomore (unless this guy redshirts) and Murphy. Knowing that they won't want 5 qbs on the roster, do you think our coaches are anticipating a transfer this year?
Obviously I'm not Adam but I think you would have to assume this guy probably shirts this year(unless there are massive injuries). And if anybody transfers its probably Murphy.
Since Murphy is obviously not going to see the field as a QB for us, I heard they may try him out at a different position like WR. If anyone transfers, it'll be whoever (Driscoll or Brissett) doesn't win the starter roll by the end of next year.
I sure hope so (he red shirts). feel like if one of the two freshman become the clear starter and a star that we lose the other of them as well.
I think Tyler Murphy is like Bigfoot, lots of people claim he exists and have seen him but nobody has any actual proof.
That's beautiful. He and JaJaun Story were sighted inside the Devils Millhopper.
Personally I wanted us to sign Paxton Lynch over this kid. Muschamp and Pease probably viewed Skyler as being more polished as an all-around qb than Lynch though. This is not a great pickup but also not a bad pickup
honestly, we dont need this kid to be a a stud QB….we need him to fill out our depth chart and bring more competition to the possition during day to day practices….just another body on the field to help push his position group twards perfection on the field!!

On My First Mother's Day Weekend
On Saturday evening a loved friend met my babe for the first time. Perhaps because of this, the conversation turned to children, and whether she hopes to have one some day. The answer was yes: one. I told her the thing you say, that if she chooses to have a baby, and is able to have one, that she "will be a great parent." I said this thing sincerely–completely, completely sincerely. She said the thing that I have never had anyone say. "Do you think you are a great parent?" For what felt like a long time, I could only pause. I could only be silent.
What was easy to say about her (and countless others) became hard to say about myself, and the actual acts of mothering I perform every day. When I could speak, I think I muttered, "I'm not sure," or "I don't know," or "Maybe sometimes." And then I told her about how I measure my days. If I have sung to my babe, and spoken to her, and read to her a tiny bit, and fed her, and clothed her, and kept her relatively clean, then we have had a good day. For the most part, they feel possible, and forgiving.
The work of mothering a young infant is work that doesn't come naturally to me. It is also work that is composed of a million small things, and all of those things together make me tired (and if I am being especially truthful: lonely).
I am thankful for the reminder from fellow Exponent blogger, Emily U. that mother is a verb as well as a noun, because there are a lot of people who have helped mother my daughter already, as there are a lot of people who have helped mother me. For the first, it is every person who has smiled at her or made her laugh, the friends that brought my small family dinner after she was born, or came over just to let me nap or shower. It is the women who tried to teach me how to burp her (I never got very good), and those who told me how to fly with a small child and how to be brave enough to do so. It is. It is. It is.
I have long known that it takes a village to raise a child, but I am learning that it also takes a village to raise a new mother (noun), and I am thankful for the village that is raising me. I am also thankful for Jill Churchill's quote: "There is no way to be a perfect mother, but a million ways to be a good one."
Aside from my initial pause of inadequacy, I had a delightful Mother's Day weekend, and delightful Mother's Day, almost entirely because of the "A Mother Here Art and Poetry Contest" that as Caroline mentioned, just announced its winners. I spent the day with the selected words and images, and I felt filled, remembering the one we share as Mother.
My prayer is that everyone got from the day what they needed, whether that be skipped church, radio silence, a whole lot of chocolate, or a nap.

Families Love Mardis Gras Too!
Mardis Gras is so much more than partaking in or witnessing creative ways to get free beads from a balcony overlooking Bourbon Street on Fat Tuesday. Many of you have "been there - done that" or never have been or don't want to, all the while yearning to partake in Mardis Gras festivities with the family or simply with friends in a toned down atmosphere. Mardis Gras is in fact, first and foremost a family affair even though the press would have you think otherwise. Showing pictures and videos of moms, dads and kids in face paint doesn't exactly bring in the college crowd tourist dollars.
The truth is, both elements exist in New Orleans during the annual celebration and both groups can have a rip roaring good time and culturally significant epiphany at this historically relevant event. Simply visiting New Orleans during Mardis Gras will open the doors to activities that suit your tastes, but just to make things easier YAHglobal.Com has put together a few family friendly specifics to help you and yours enjoy Mardis Gras in a more "buttoned up" yet just as entertaining manner.
Parade Watch @ St. Charles Avenue
The closer you and your family are to Bourbon Street during prime time - Fat Tuesday - the more uncomfortable you may feel as the party really picks up in the heart of Mardis Gras. To partake and get a great view of the actual parade we suggest setting up camp on St.Charles Avenue between Jackson and Napoleon where many families are known to congregate for hours on end enjoying the festivities in full view. An even better suggestion would be to take advantage of the days prior to Fat Tuesday when the activities are just as fun for the family, lesser the drunken element, except of course for that uncle of yours.
French Market - Annual Mask Market
1008 North Peters St., New Orleans, LA (between Ursulines and Barracks Street)
Feb. 17-20, 2012
The Mask Market is held every year on the weekend before Fat Tuesday at the French Market, a six block district packed full of unique shops, restaurants, and a farmer's square. On this weekend, well over a dozen mask vendors from all over New Orleans and the surrounding county display hundreds, if not thousands, of pieces of wearable art. With so many magnificent creations you will be more than likely want to select a mask for each member of the family as well as something to hang on the walls at home as a reminder of you experience at Mardis Gras. Live music and food booths accompany the annual Mask Market and thus there is plenty to keep you and the entire crew occupied when the shopping and/or browsing has passed.
Family Gras!
Veterans Memorial Boulevard Grounds (across from Lakeside Shopping Center), Metairie, Louisiana
2012 Dates: Feb 10 - 12/2012
The name says it all, Family Gras is a family friendly and focused Mardis Gras offering live music from local and national artists alike. The prerequisite local cuisine carts and stations are on site for sampling (binging!), arts & crafts vendors offer up their regionally inspired creations at the Art Market, and a bevy of other businesses are on hand to showcase their products and services for the family. Attendance hovers at around 80,000 and continues to grow with each passing year. Costumes are encouraged with the Friday of the Family Gras weekend being themed more like Halloween with the creepiest costumes one can conjure up. Saturdays are set aside for "traditional" carnival wear (translate that to however you want to dress), and Sports Sundays are slated for wearing your favorite sports team's color. Family Gras is fast becoming a Mardis Gras tradition for many in Louisiana.

For those with prepaid phones finding airtime, especially in certain situations, may not always be easy. And missing an important call, whether from a family member or friend, could be a problem if one's service is off-line. Finding how to buy airtime online or via a card becomes critical.
Cell Phone Revolution
In the modern world cell phones are ubiquitous. There are many different types starting with basic models that allow a user to simply make and receive calls. Other, more advanced, equipment, with contracts from cellular providers (such as Virgin Mobile), rely on "Smart Phone" technology that also has computing capabilities.
And popular opinion to the contrary, Apple did not invent the concept of the "Smart Phone". The forerunner was first presented to the masses by Nokia in 1996. [The term was coined 25 years earlier, though, in 1971. It was the vision of a scientist who thought individual phones could perform as personal data assistants or PDAs; IBM created a working model in 1992.]
What Can One Do with a Phone Today?
Today's devices allow one to take pictures, shoot video, surf the Internet, and interact globally with others, not merely by dialing a number and speaking but by sending text messages, e-mails, forwarding images, and uploading content to websites.
Whereas in the past people could conduct telephone banking (by calling their financial institution and asking for certain transactions to be executed) now one can do cell phone banking by logging onto one's personal bank's web site, paying bills, and one can transfer money to other accounts. Online banking saves drive time and gas money.
The Next Revolution in Cell Phones
After the first wave a secondary market appeared. These are inexpensive units that don't need contracts. A consumer buys it (with a SIM card installed unique to that phone) and is assigned a unique phone number. The equipment almost always has a limited amount of airtime available out-of-the-box.
These are called "pre-paid" or "pay-as-you-go" phones. Unlike "traditional" mobiles, they don't require long-term service contracts (around two years on average). People can make calls, take pictures, shoot video, and send text messages or e-mails based upon the type of unit and number of minutes bought.
The advantage is that one doesn't pay outrageously for limited use. Some people make very few calls: why pay $70 per month if one doesn't use but, perhaps, an hour of airtime? Most "traditional" cell phone service plans offer "unlimited" time for a relatively hefty fee. Such plans are a waste of money for people who talk or text infrequently.
This is where the "disposable" has an advantage. Though the per-minute rate may be higher (anywhere from 20¢ to 50¢ US) the consumer is not stuck with an exorbitant monthly fee for services he/she does not use.
The downside is that once the number of minutes purchased on a disposable phone has elapsed the user cannot make a call (except, by law, in the US any cell caller can dial "911" for emergencies and have it go through).
What Are the Different Ways to Get Airtime?
If the time on a prepaid phone has run out one must re-up his/her minutes. So, the issue of buying airtime (either online or from some other source) comes into play. While this may be simpler in many markets (by using a credit card or debit card directly from the phone, letting one add airtime immediately) in some instances payment channels may not be so easily accessed.
One may have to use an ATM card first to get cash and then go to various shops to buy a "prepaid minutes" card. Such a card means traveling out of one's home to physically go and get it. These top-up vouchers are not difficult to use: the buyer simply makes a card purchase then scratches off the identification number (or PIN) on the back. While leaving the unit "on", and following the instructions on the card, service time is added.
Many network providers in most developed countries make getting minutes easy. For example, Cell C (in South Africa) lets its customers buy Cell C airtime online with a simple web action. MTN (that country's largest mobile carrier) also gives customers the means to buy MTN airtime via the Internet. Telkom is another big carrier based in Johannesburg with service in over 38 countries on the continent of Africa. And Vodacom offers online packages for prepaid and contract service, whatever the customer wants.
Top Up is a company that specializes in letting consumers use its website for adding time. They service over 100 countries and handle over 250 carriers. Their cards are also available in many communications' retail outlets, too.
Internet banking companies can make it easy to keep one's mobile unit on. Many, such as ABSA, let customers tap their online accounts to pay for things like cell service. First National Bank (FNB) lets South African customers get free minutes by signing up with them. Similarly, many banking companies (Nedbank, Standard, and Capitec, to name a few) offer services to their customers to recharge their mobile minutes.
All in all it is certainly more convenient to use the Internet to buy airtime instead of going to a store to get a card for extra air minutes. The only problem for some people, perhaps, is that paying online usually requires tapping into an online account or a credit card; for those without either, the trip to a retailer is necessary.

Hi, I'm Jack and I run
Better Notifications for WP.
Plugin Origins
I came up with the idea for the plugin back in 2013 when working on a client's website and since then, I've developed the idea into a fully-fledged plugin used by tens of thousands of users, accompanied by premium add-ons and solid documentation.
I have a great roadmap for the free core plugin, improvements to existing add-ons, and lots of ideas for new add-ons for years to come.
I'd like Better Notifications for WP to be the go-to notifications plugin for WordPress. It should be a full replacement that extends the WordPress notification system and it should be really easy to use.
I believe on providing a well made plugin with good quality support and a range of add-ons and services that help with the future development of the free core plugin and new premium add-ons.
I work on all aspects of the plugin, add-ons, website, support, etc. but also use another developer to aid with the development of the plugin and the add-ons.
I publish transparency reports too so that you can see the inner workings and costs of running BNFW as a whole company - not just the costs of developing the plugin.
About Me
I live in the South of England with my family. Outside of my work on BNFW, I run a one-man WordPress web design agency that specialises in designing and building websites using WordPress called Made with Fuel. I also work on the sister plugin to BNFW, Content Notify.
I'm a WordCamp speaker and a co-host on a WordPress-focused podcast called Pressing Matters.
