The Mystery of the Church Life
by Dr Surya Kumar Daimari
7/27/2012 / Bible Studies
The Church is the Kingdom of God here on earth which Christ had established two thousand years ago by shedding of His own blood on the cross and by sending of the Holy Spirit. The Church life on earth is a heavenly experience of living with God as our Father and we as His sons through faith in Christ Jesus. Thus the Church is a divine family of God which is the dwelling place of God Himself IICor. 6:-18). Every born again believer is a member of that family. The Church is a special entity, a spiritual entity which has been separated from this world in a spiritual sense. Thus the Church is spiritual and heavenly in character. But the vital truth is that this Church of God is in this very world surrounded by uncertainty, a morally decayed society affected by a deadly virus called "SIN"- crime and violence, drugs and sex, political and social unrest- an environment which is not conducive to a godly living. We are living in a fast changing world which we call "Civilization"--- a civilization with an advancement of learning science and technology. Man has become superman and the technology he uses is a super technology. But despite this fact, the man of this world seems to be grappling with widespread political and social tension. "What is life ?" "Will the men of this world continue to destroy one another ?" " But how long ?" "What is the future of our humanity ?" " Will we see the end of our humanity ?" "Will we see the end of what we call civilization ?"
These and many other questions make us crazy and we are weighed down with "weiltchmerz", literally means world sorrow, sadness from a gloomy world philosophy. In such a trauma, the life in the Church could be an awful experience if our relationship with God is not proper. It is therefore, important that the children of God know what the Bible says and know who we really are and who we really belong to. God has a purpose and a plan and that is what we must know.
The Etymology of the word "Church"
1.The word is derived from the Greek adjective "KYRIAKOS" as used in some such phrases as "Kyriakon Doma" or "Kyriake Oikia" meaning the Lord's House. Ref. Eph 2:22; IPet. 2:5; ICor. 3:9
2. The other Greek word is, "Ekklessia". Ek means out of and Kaleo- means to call out. So EKKESSIA means a called out company or an assembly of people of a particular place. While we refer it to Christ's Church, it would mean , " A called out body in Christ." Ref. Mt.18:17; Acts 2:47; 7:38; Eph. 1:13,22-23; 2:17,18,4-6.
The Universal and the Local Church.
The term "Church" is understood in two senses.
(a) The Universal Church- or the Spiritual Church and
(b) The Local Church.
(a) The Universal Church-
In the N.T. , the word "Church", which has been translated from the Greek word "Ekklessia", includes all the believers in Christ from all corners of the earth into one body.
" For by one Spirit are we baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been made to drink into one Spirit". ICor. 12:13
This is the mystery of the Church that we belong to one unseen spiritual universal Church through one faith and one baptism of the Spirit. The "Ekklessia" in the N.T. is very distinct from the "Church in the Wilderness" mentioned in Acts 7:38. It refers to the people of Israel which was constituted on the Mount of Sainai. They were called out and brought out people peculiar unto God. Ex.6:6-8; 12:3;5:3
The Distinction between the "Church in the Wilderness" and the "Church in the New testament is as follows.
1. The LXX used the word "Ekklessia" to describe the Israelite who responded to the call of God. They were called out, brought out and separated people from Egypt by command and obedience.
In the N.T. , the "Ekklessia" no longer describes the Israelite nation, but the new Israel, the Israel of God in a spiritual sense. They are the called out separated people from the world by grace of God, by the word of God followed by faith. IPet.1:15; Eph.4:4; IIPet. 1:3.
2. God made a covenant with the people of Israel at Mount Sainai by the sacrifice of the Lamb.
God made a new covenant with the new Israel by the sacrifice of the Lamb of God, the Christ at the cross.
3.They were sanctified temporarily by the yearly sacrifice of the animals. Heb. 9:20-22; 10:1
Whereas, the new Israel are sanctified by the blood of Christ once for all. Heb. 10:10
4. The Mosaic Covenant was written on the table of stone. Deut. 9:11; Ex.24:3-8
But the New Covenant is written on the heart of man. Jer. 31:31-34.
The Ekklessia of the N.T. is therefore, a special entity and spiritual in character. It is the body of Christ. Christ paid for it by the offering of His own blood.( ICor. 6:20 ) and indeed this is a mystery.
(b) The Local Church:
The "Ekklessia", i.e., the Church of Jesus Christ must also be understood in local sense. This is the one physically existing Church of the particular place formed out of a group of believers in Christ often termed as the assembly of God or the Congregation, the saints, the brethren etc. The particular congregation represents the Universal Church and through participation in the redemption of Christ mystically comprehends the whole of which it is the local manifestation.
The significant feature of each local Church is that it represents the whole body of Christ, the "Totus Christus" representing "One body and one mind", "one baptism and one Spirit" , ICor. 12:12,13. Christ is the Head of the Church, "which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all". Eph. 1:22,23 Also see Col. 1:18,19
The word "Church" in the N.T occurs in many places to denote one single, distinct and separate congregation of Christ's people, e.g.,
The Church of God which is at Corinth, ICor. 1:2
The Churches of Macedonia, IICor 3:1
The Churches of Galatia, Gal. 1:2
The Church of Ephesus, Rev. 2:1
The Church in Smyrna, Rev. 2:8
The Church in Pergamam, Rev. 2:12
The Church in Thyatira, Rev. 2:18
The Church in Sardis Rev. 3:1
The Church in Philadelphia Rev. 3:7
The Church in Laodiceans Rev. 3:14
Nee Watchman said,
" The Church is partly heavenly and partly on earth. The heavenly part concerns the authority of the Holy Spirit; the earthly part concerns the boundary of locality" #
The truth is that we are in this world, but not of this world as the Lord Jesus Himself has said,
".you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world." Jn 15:19
"They are not of this world." Jn 17:14,16
We definitely belong to God as IJn. 4:4 says,
" Ye are of God"
Though the Church is on earth, it is heavenly in character, because,
Our Father is in heaven----Mt. 6:9
Our Home is in heaven----Jn 14:2,3
Our Treasures are in heaven---- Mt.6:2; Col. 1:3
Our Hope is in heaven.-----------Col. 1:5
The Mystery Nature of the Church Life.
The Church itself is a mystery . Many theologians use the phrase "The mystery nature of the Church" because of the mystery character of the Church as the body of Christ. In the N.T. the word "mystery" means a divine truth, formerly hidden but now supernaturally revealed to the men of God which can only be known through divine revelation . In the Bible, there are many metaphors which describe the mystery nature of the Church . We will discuss here four kinds of mysteries of the Church. These mysteries manifest the mystical relationship of the Church with Christ.
1. The Mystery of One Body.
This is one of the most mystical nature of the Church.
"Christ is the Head of the Church." Eph.5:23
"---head over all things to the Church." Eph.1:22
"he is the head of the body, the Church. Col.1:18
"Which is His body-----" Eph. Eph 1:23; 4:12
"Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ ?" ICor. 6:15
"For as the body is one and hath many members and all the members of that one body,
Being many, are one body, so also is Christ." ICor. 12:12
________________________________________________________________________ # Nee Watchman, "Father talks on the Church Life"
Los Angeles. The Stream Publishers, 1974; p-19
As such the Church must give expression of the thoughts, words and actions of ONE who is the Head.
The Whole Christ.
We are members of one body (Eph4:25). Paul is here emphasizing what the theologians call as "Totus Christus", which means, "The Whole Christ", embracing Jesus as the Head and His redeemed people as the members of His own body. This seems to be quite a mystical idea. What was it that led Paul to formulate this theme ? Certainly, it was his encounter with the Lord on the Damascus Road. True, he had been playing havoc with the Christians. Jesus asked him, "Why do you persecute me ?" Paul (Saul) did not persecute Jesus physically since Jesus was already risen from the dead and taken up to heaven . But why did Jesus question him like that? This was a new revelation for Paul. He came to realize something of the mystical union that bound the Christians and their Lord which is inseparable. This wonderful truth (Acts 22:7; 9:4,5) under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit produced his marvelous theme of oneness in the Body of Christ, i.e.,the Church.
It is therefore, the Church represents one body, one mind, one soul, one baptism, one Spirit, one blood circulation , one nervous system and one heart. It means that when I am hurt Jesus is hurt, when I am suffered Jesus is suffered. When I commit a sin Jesus has to pay for it. And He has already paid for it on the cross. He suffered the pangs of separation from God only because of our sin. But still today He suffers the pain whenever you and I commit a sin or displeases God.
Paul's analysis of the function of the Church under the illustration of a living human body is remarkable one. There is only one body but many members with different functions such as the foot, the hand, the ear, the eye etc. Every member of the body, however small it may be, is very unique and vital . Missing of one part or damage of one part means the body is incomplete.
Their functions are never equal but they work for the edification of the whole body. This wonderful analogy of the living human body describes the reality of the Church life as the body of Christ. Each member of the Church is a living organ without which the Church cannot function as a living Church.
All the members of the Church have some of the gifts. Paul's analysis of the gifts of the Spirit in ICor.12 is remarkable. We can see here the distribution and diversity of the gifts of the Spirit. But God has not granted any gift to anybody solely for his own personal gain and edification. It is important to understand that the gift of each person has uniquely significant place in the Body and complete dependence upon one another.
In Paul's illustration, we see, when one of the limbs, for example, the leg, is imputed, it cannot function well as it could before. Thus we say that the body is handicapped. We need to understand that the Church will be handicapped when a person's gifts are not properly utilized for the well being of the whole Body. It is also important that every believer in the Church should be able to discover the gifts that he has and utilize them for the edification of the whole body, i.e., the Church.
2. The Mystery of the Christ Indwelling.
The indwelling of Christ in the believers is a mystery.
"Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generation now is made manifest to his saints;-----which is Christ in you, the hope of glory." Col.1:26-27
In His letter to the angel of the Church of the Laodiceans, Jesus said,
"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock, if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come into him and will sup with him, and he with me." Rev.3:20
The Church is a dwelling place of God Himself where He resides in the person of Jesus Christ in Spirit.
"He (Christ) is the head of the body, the Church.in Him should all fullness dwell." Col. 1:18-19
"For in Him dwelleth all fullness dwell" Col 18-19
"For in Him dwelleth all fullness of the Godhead bodily, and we are complete in Him." Col 2:9-10
The Church is the Temple of God and the Temple of the Holy Spirit.
This is indeed a mystery.
"A Holy temple in the Lord..a habitation of God in the Spirit." Eph.2:21
"Know ye not that ye are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you ?" ICor. 6:19
".the temple of the Holy Ghost"ICor. 6:19
"..the temple of the living God as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people." ICor 6:16
The Greek word is NAOS (sanctuary) consisting of the Holy place and the Holy of Holies. The Lord Jesus uses the same word NAOS of His body, His life; and what a perfect of life that manifested the glory of God. The Church is the NAOS which is His body. Eph 1:23
3.The Mystery of the Church as the Bride of Christ.
The Church is the bride of Christ. In Rev. 19:7-8, there is the description of the marriage of the Lamb (Christ) and how His wife (the Church) has made herself ready arrayed in fine linen, clean and white. In Eph 5:22-23, the exhortation given to husbands and wives
to have a proper relationship has been illustrated by the relationship of Christ to the Church.
"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the Church and gave himself for it." V25
"For we are members of his (Christ's) body, of his flesh and of his bones."V30
This is a marvelous truth. The relationship of the Church with Christ as husband and wife is indeed a great mystery. Paul says in V32,"This is a great mystery; but I speak concerning Christ and the Church."
Christ has loved the Church, so should the Church submit herself to him.
4. The Mystery of the Rapture of the Church.
Rapture means resurrection of the believers and the translation of the living (Church) and meeting with the Lord in the air at His second advent.
The Lord Jesus Himself bodily
(i)"shall come down from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God.
(ii) the dead in Christ shall rise first
(iii) then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air;
(iv) and so shall we ever be with the Lord." IThess 4:16-17
The Church at Thessalonica at the time of Paul believed in the imminence of the Lord's "Parousia"(Appearance). Some of the believers had even quit their jobs to prepare for the Lord's coming. The believers were caught in a frenzied speculation on the exact time of the second coming of Christ.
Many baffling questions had troubled their hearts such as ,
..What will happen to those beloved who have died before Jesus returns ?
..Will they miss out the life after death ?
Will they forfeit a share in the glory of the Lord Jesus at His second advent ?
Paul shrugs off such speculations and presents the right way to prepare for the Lord's return. Every believer whether dead or alive will have a share in the wonderful glory of the Lord. With the sound of the trumpet of God , the dead in Christ will rise first at His advent. Believers do not actually die, they merely "fall asleep"(4:13). The loving will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord Jesus and be with Him forever. The Gr .word is "Harpagesometha", Latin "Rapiemur" which has been translated as "rapture" in English. This is the greatest hope that a believer can hope for in the near future which is well founded in Jesus. It is a matter of real joy and comfort for all the believers in Christ. Paul exhorts the Thessalonians to get prepared for their most blessed and spectacular an event to take place in the real history of mankind- "the climax of blessedness" as has been called by many.
The rapture is therefore, the greatest and the most blessed hope we can hope for. This is precisely a mystery, a great mystery because never before in O.T. believers were promised translation.
The mystery nature of the Church is found only in the N.T. According to the dispensationalists, the Church was hidden in the O.T. but it began on the day of Penticost only. The O.T. believers were totally ignorant of these mysteries nor were they promised these mysteries. There is a great distinction between Israel and the Church. The Israelites
were only a type to the Church. The Church is a new entity because of the mystery nature of the Church.
All the born again believers belong to this wonderful Church. The Church belongs to God. And God lives within.
"The Church is God's because He has established it by the supernatural acts of coming to earth in the person of the Son via the virgin birth, purchasing a people by the substitutionary sacrifice of His Son, raising Him from the dead to provide eternal life, and sending forth the Holy Spirit to fill and equip His saints." # Rea John
God has a wonderful plan and purposes for His Church. We are His people "the laos of God", a royal priesthood and a special people to declare His glories.
"that ye should shew forth the praises of Him." IPet. 2:9
God has called us to be a blessing to the whole earth and
"the Light of the world." Math 5:14

Lions could make reluctant clubs free players like Gethin Jenkins
Last updated on .From the section Rugby Union
The British and Irish Lions have the right to insist clubs release players to start the 2013 tour to Australia, it has emerged
Toulon have said they would not release Wales prop Gethin Jenkins if they reach the French Top 14 final on 1 June.
But International Rugby Board rules mean coach Warren Gatland could insist players join the Lions.
And he could insist on that from five days before the 1 June Barbarians clash in Hong Kong.
IRB regulation 9.6b reads: "The quadrennial British and Irish Lions Tour is a Designated Event and all Players selected to participate shall be released.
"The Release Period shall ordinarily commence on 1 June and ordinarily conclude on the 2nd weekend of July in the relevant year."
And rule 9.9 adds that players should be "available to train at least five clear days prior to the commencement of the international match, international tour or international tournament".
Wales coach Gatland went to France on September 5, a day after his appointment as Lions head coach to talk to a number of contenders and their clubs.
Gatland had already warned French-based Lions contenders that being unavailable for the tour party's departure could harm their hopes of selection.
But after meeting Gatland, Toulon boss Bernard Laporte told newspaper L'Equipe: "We discussed the availability of Gethin Jenkins.
"We said again that we would not release him to leave with the Lions on 27 May if we are in the [Top 14] final. He understood. I think he already knew when he came to the meeting."
Toulon also said Wales' clash with Australia in Cardiff on 1 December fell outside the designated Test 'window' and Jenkins would not be available for that either. But this stance is backed up by IRB rules.
An IRB spokesman said on Monday: "The respective Unions are familiar with the policy regarding player release for the British and Irish Lions as outlined within IRB Regulation 9."
Only Lions contenders based in France appear to be under any threat of their clubs attempting to block them starting the tour.
BBC Sport Wales understands England's leading clubs will release players after their season ends at the Aviva Premiership final on Saturday, 25 May.
And those English Lions not involved in that final will be available to Gatland ahead of 27 May.
Welsh, Scottish and Irish-based players will also be fully available on the same basis as their English counterparts.
Jenkins and fellow potential 2013 Lions Mike Phillips (Bayonne), Jonny Wilkinson (Toulon), Luke Charteris (Perpignan) Lee Byrne (Clermont Auvergne) and James Hook (Perpignan) will battle throughout the season to win a place in France's Top 14 final.
Lock Charteris has ensured his Wales availability, but has yet to confirm a similar arrangement should the Lions want him.
Jenkins, 31, who joined Toulon from Cardiff Blues ahead of the 2012-13 season, has already made two Lions tours.
He was in the party whitewashed 3-0 by New Zealand in 2005, then helped the Lions regain global respect in a 2-1 defeat by South Africa in 2009.

"Bad Boys for Life," like so many years-later sequels, plays a little differently to its primary target audience of old-school fans and to the young first-timers it also hopes to draw. The third entry goes at nostalgia hard in its opening sequence, with its swooping Miami views, blocky credits font announcing "A Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer Production" (Simpson died 24 years ago, a year after the release of "Bad Boys"), and hot-rod racing with Smith at the wheel and Lawrence riding shotgun. For the younger viewers, everything old is new again (the buddy action-comedy formula, with well-cast buddies, rarely fails), but it's been reworked to resemble the modern standard: the "Fast and Furious" franchise with an ensemble of young cops and a police task force named AMMO.
Despite all that, the focus remains squarely on the dynamic between lovingly bickering bros Mike Lowrey (Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Lawrence), the former a confirmed bachelor and the latter a family man newly anointed as "Pop Pop" to a grandchild named after him. Adding immeasurably to the film's enjoyment: returning player Joey Pantoliano as the bad boys' Pepto-Bismol-swigging police captain.
The script by Chris Bremmer, Peter Craig and Joe Carnahan predictably makes hay from the leads' midlife crises: Lowrey's ride-or-die loner shtick isn't aging well, and Burnett's insistence on retirement creates extreme tension that only escalates when criminals from Lowrey's past (Kate Del Castillo and Jacob Scipio as mother-son killers) begin a revenge campaign of gunning down the law-enforcement folks they hold responsible for their downfall. This time, it's personal, and then more personal, and then more personal, as the plot twists pile up. Although erstwhile "Bad Boys" director Michael Bay shows up to bless the project in a cameo role, it's Belgian duo Adil and Bilall who get their Hollywood break here orchestrating the chaotic action mayhem (from a motorcycle/sidecar chase to a fiery shoot-em-up climax).
These films strike a strange tone. There's the bombastic action that must be accepted on fantasy terms lest we recognize what terrible people the heroes would be in real life (Lowrey alone performs life-endangering reckless driving while not even on the job, practices police brutality and generally violates procedure and civil rights with impunity). And then there's the melodrama that gives the plot emotional weight (Lawrence gets in a crack comparing it to the telenovelas he watches with his family). Contemplating any of this action-comedy camp in real-world terms would be a maddening mistake. Accept Lowrey's assessment that "Violence is what we do," or pick another movie.
Rated R for strong bloody violence, language throughout, sexual references, and brief drug use. Two hours, 3 minutes.

After a few days of wandering on my own, my host, Jacky, had some time to spend with me! We made some toast and coffee and then headed out toward the museum square for some ice skating.
On the way to the square, we walked through the market and past some really cute shops. One white shop caught our eye – on the window it said "Vitamin Chocolate." Sign me up for that! We went inside and talked to the owner. Turns out that all of his chocolates are made from 100% raw vegan cacao and all of the truffles (& everything they make) are vegan. YESSSS
We bought a date truffle. It was nothing short of life changing. The man selling it to us cut it in half, and we ate it right in the store!
If I lived in Amsterdam (which I am kind of seriously considering), I would spend all of my money here. JUST TAKE IT ALL AND GIVE ME THE CHOCOLATE.
After that experience, we headed toward the ice skating rink. First things first, correct my picture from the other day. Success! All of "Amsterdam" made it into this picture. Thanks, Jacky!
Then another nice person offered to take a picture of us!
She did well! A lot better than the person from before.
Then it was time to get down to business. Did you guys not know I am basically a professional ice skater?
Well now you know.
After skating for hours (I never wanted to stop), we waltzed over to the Christmas market right next to the ice arena. And guess what they had?! VEGAN FOOD!
That sweet little angel baby is all vegan. They usually put a sauce on it, but sadly the sauce was not vegan so it had to go. This was so exciting!
After lunch, we headed over to the Bols house. Bols is a company that makes flavored vodkas. We had a tour of the museum, learned about their history, and then we got to pick a cocktail to taste. I had a blood orange thing, which was pretty good! The pictures did not turn out well as it was pretty dark, so you will have to use your imagination for that part.
After the Bols house, we ran into SANTA!! I sat on his lap and told him everything that I wanted for Christmas.
JK. We actually just said hi and then sprinted off to something a little more important. FOOD.
Or as some would call it, some steamy baskets of goodness.
And it was even better than promised. The place was super cute, the food was amazing, and the atmosphere was great. It was a wonderful ending to the day!

The Advantages of Holding a Large Amount of Inventory
Inventory management impacts your ability to operate a low-cost, high profit margin business. Typically, a product reseller wants to hold just enough inventory to meet near-term customer demand. Excess inventory is costly to hold and manage in most cases. However, carrying extra products can provide some benefits even with the added costs.
Customer Satisfaction
In comparing the extremes of running out of stock and holding more inventory than you need, stock outs are definitely worse. If customers come to your business and you don't have goods they want, you risk alienating them and losing them to competitors. Carrying extra inventory in your retail storage area or in a nearby distribution center helps keep shelves fully stocked during periods of peak customer demand.
Supplier Price Discounts
One reason some resellers bite the bullet and carry extra inventory is because of the cost advantages from buying in bulk. Typically, if you order larger product lots, you get a lower cost per unit. This strategy improves your potential gross profit, since a lower cost of goods sold means you make more on each sale. Alternatively, if you operate as a low-cost provider, you could pass the discounts on to your customers and potentially increase your sales volume.
Protection Against Order Delays
Holding extra inventory gives you greater control. Though you can develop strong partnerships with suppliers, you can't always control the efficiency with which they ship goods after an order. Delays in processing replenishment orders could contribute to stock outs or low supplies when customers want the products most. In some cases, production or distribution may be affected by the weather, or factors beyond the control of your suppliers.
Merchandising and Promotion
Fully stocked shelves or promotional displays also contribute to effective in-store merchandising. An aesthetically-pleasing store setup is integral to keeping customers around and getting them to return to your store. Fully-stocked shelves give the impression that your company has good product variety and assortment. Displays and shelves also look better with good product supplies rather than bare spots. You can also strategically place high-demand goods in checkout aisles or near the front of the store to entice impulse buys.

What We Do: "The Meridian Effect""When we put the right skills and people in place, it is a given that the money will be there – the right people, the right capital, at the right time, that is "the Meridian Effect."
We believe that Merchant Banking should be more than just brokering capital. Our emphasis is on the full spectrum of ongoing business relationships that define an organization, rather than a particular set of financial transactions.
It's a sad fact that generally bankers don't understand entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs don't understand bankers. We bridge that gap of understanding because our people have experience on both sides of the equation. We're proudly re-inventing the relationship between entrepreneurs and capital sources because we understand the disconnect and in most cases, know how to fix it.
Often, banks are not in a position to fully support the financing needs of growing, successful companies. That's where our network of over 340 private capital sources come into play.
Our approach to Merchant Banking is to fully support our clients by providing comprehensive strategic planning and advisory services. We build a team within the organization that can provide the knowledge and leadership to implement the vision of the company and its owners — and of course arrange the capital necessary to make it all happen.
When necessary we will place our own people, who bring with them decades of entrepreneurial and financial management experience, right into the organization. We provide the means to execute not just give advice to our clients. Then as the company grows and its needs change, our services will change to reflect that growth – always providing the right support and resources at the right time.

NEW ROCHELLE, NY — Anthony Esposito is the person mentioned by Mauro Zonzini in a recent interview with Talk of the Sound as having been arrested by police office Tim Adrian after Esposito, allegedly drunk, menaced officers with a large metal tool.
Zonzini told one story about Anthony Esposito, a friend, who Zonzini says was wrongly arrested two years ago.
"The cops come, tackle my friend which was the innocent one, beat the shit out of him, make a mess out of his face, rubbed his face in the ice, they made a mess out of this poor guy."
Zonzini said even though the charges were later dropped, the officers involved were credit with the felony arrests and received medals.
"That's how these cops are motivated," said Zonzini. "By medal day, and the more tickets and that's how the system is so they gotta embellish they got to make things so much worse than they are meanwhile you are ruining a guy that did nothing."
Medal Day refers to the annual New Rochelle Police Department Awards ceremony held annually at the Greentree Country Club.
New Rochelle Police denied a FOIL request to obtain a record of the arrest Zonzini described on the grounds the case had been sealed but sources tell Talk of the Sound the officer referenced by Zonzini is Police Officer Tim Adrian who has won a number of New Rochelle Police Foundation Awards including several Class "C" Citations.
"That cop got a big award, like 35 felony arrests, which probably 31 of them were fucking bullshit," said Zonzini.
"That's how the system works. The most felonies they get the more they get rewarded. They will write down anything," continued Zonzini. "Most cops will sell their mother for a felony arrest."
Sources tell Talk of the Sound that New Rochelle Police Commissioner Patrick Carroll intervened in Esposito's case, at the request of Zonzini. Adrian was called into Carroll's office and, at Carroll's instruction, Esposito apologized to Adrian. Carroll then directed that the charges be dropped.
Esposito owns a two-family house at 1 Ninth Street in New Rochelle, NY which has been the subject of numerous complaints to the Bureau of Buildings of the Department of Development of the City of New Rochelle. The matter is currently under review by the Bureau of Buildings which has opened a case against Esposito.
Esposito is alleged to have illegally converted the garage on the property into a dwelling, reportedly as an apartment for his son and daughter-in-law.
Esposito is also accused of illegally expanding the parking area at the house to convert it into a parking lot for trucks owned by a landscaping company — a familiar practice in the West End of New Rochelle. The noise early each morning with workers talking, trucks starting up and beeping as they back out of the parking lot has drawn the ire of neighbors.
Sources familiar with the matter tell Talk of the Sound that building inspector John Caldararo was assigned to the case and that Caldararo was petitioned by Zonzini to leave his friend, Esposito, alone.
That effort was to no avail.
Last month, in a letter dated, June 24, 2013, Anthony Esposito was put on notice by the Bureau of Buildings, setting the stage for a legal battle if Esposito does not comply with the demands of the Bureau of Buildings.
In the letter, the Bureau of Buildings notes that the property at 1 Ninth Street was cited by the Bureau of Buildings on January 31, 2013 for the illegal conversion of the garage to a dwelling unit and the construction of a fire place and additional impervious surface in the rear year without prior approval of a building permit.
The letter goes on to say that the Bureau of Buildings has received numerous complaints about the use of the garage as a dwelling, as well as, the parking of trucks on the property for a landscaping business and the removal of the fire escapes.
Because the property is located in a residential district, the parking of commercial trucks is prohibited.
The letter cites a 2009 building permit for 1 Ninth Street which accepted that the 4-car garage and surrounding parking area on the property would meet the requirement for off-street parking of passenger vehicles for the use of residents of the existing dwelling. Since those parking spaces are not available due to the garage be converted to a dwelling and the parking of up to 9 landscaper trucks, 1 Ninth Street is not in compliance with parking regulations.
The Bureau of Buildings has ordered that illegal construction work must be legalized or removed, noting that the garage cannot be used as a dwelling and the parking area not used to store commercial vehicles.

Okay, we are making this happen! If you are reading this you are likely our friend and are the reason we are making this site actually a thing. I, Allison, am going to be the one posting, taking photos, and publishing content and Elide is the one, as mostly everyone knows, creating the recipes and making us the delicious food! I, Allison, am also the professional taste-tester and consumer. All recipes have been Allison approved.
Summer Corn Soup
Hello from quarantine! As we've settled into a routine and accepted reality, we have stopped binge baking and have attempted to return to cooking nutritious and creative dinners. And by we, I obviously mean Elide. Tonight, we had shrimp spring rolls paired with summer corn soup, a new recipe Elide created! The shrimp spring rolls are an all time fav. over here, and they deserve to be shared with the world, but the recipe is complex and hard to put into words and photos, so that recipe will come another day. This post will focus on the summer corn soup, which was so so SO delicious!!! It is not summer yet, but you are going to want to eat this all summer long, so best to give it a try now. Recipe below!
Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken (SCSC)
Let's make some SCSC (SC2)! This is a very rare TKE blog post because this recipe was MADE by Allison and this blog post is written by Allison!! This is a first. An Allison2 for an SC2.
Stuffed Mushrooms: Your new potluck go-to
Hellllooooooooooooo! We haven't posted a new recipe in...nearly a year...but we are BACK, and are only back because this recipe is so good, that I felt it needed to be posted and shared. So Elide and I were invited to go to a new friend's potluck, and our friend was going to be the only … Continue reading Stuffed Mushrooms: Your new potluck go-to
Steak and Berry Salad with Lemon Honey Vinaigrette
Salads can become really caloric really quickly if you're not careful, and so creating your own salad dressing can really cut back on a lot of unwanted fat, sugar and preservatives! And making your own dressing is surprisingly really fast and easy to do!
Dutch Baby Pancake + Peach Bellinis
TBH I had no idea what a dutch baby pancake was, but Elide had previously made a very thick, dense pancake in a rice cooker, so I was expecting that, but as it turns out a dutch baby pancake, or a DBP if you're cool, is NOT like that at all!
Bittersweet Chocolate Soufflé
Elide made these for our Valentine's Day celebration dessert and they were insaneeeeelllllyyyyy good. Beware, if you do not like chocolate, stay away! I like everything sweet, and even took two bites and was like "omg we need to add vanilla ice cream" its THAT chocolate-y. But seriously indulgent.
Cranberry Orange Almond Green Beans
When grilling Elide on whether she ACTUALLY made this recipe up, because I can't fathom creatively and confidently mixing flavors on one's own, Elide said that the inspiration started from a recipe for cranberry green beans. According to her....that was boring! She had some almonds laying around...and then thought about another flavor profile that goes well with cranberry, and decided on orange. Cranberry orange scones are Elide's favorite scone flavor, so I guess you can think of these green beans as a healthy take on a cranberry orange scone ;). Let me know if that mindset helps you resist scones moving forward...
Egg Roll Pizza Wraps
Hi! Okay first and foremost, these are not an Elide Original Recipe™...she was inspired by an Instagram recipe, made them for us for the Super Bowl and they were really really good, so I'm sharing.
Elide's Famous 5-Minute Hummus
If you're going to try one recipe before you decide if you can trust this Elide girl, or not, I'd say this is it...give it a try.
Biscuits with Honey Butter
Elide has worked for over a year to perfect her biscuit recipe. Do the perfect biscuits exist? Maybe not...but I think these are pretty close...

Submitted April 1, 2011 – Filed April 19, 2011
Jason Paul Peavy, of Columbia, for Appellant.
Christopher D. Florian, of Columbia, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM: John Glenn appeals a dismissal of his grievance appeal by the Administrative Law Court (the ALC) for failure to assert a state-created liberty or property interest. Glenn argues he asserted a state-created liberty interest because his conviction of possession of marijuana while incarcerated resulted in the loss of privileges, reclassification to a more secure status, and transfer to a more secure facility. We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the following authorities: S.C. Code Ann. § 1-23-610(B) (Supp. 2010) (providing that a review of the ALC's decision is "confined to the record" and this court may reverse the decision if substantial evidence does not support the ALC's findings are not supported by substantial evidence or the ALC's decision is affected by an error of law); Furtick v. S.C. Dep't of Corr., 374 S.C. 334, 340, 649 S.E.2d 35, 38 (2007) (holding the ALC may summarily dismiss a grievance appeal "where the inmate's grievance does not implicate a state-created liberty or property interest" (internal quotation marks omitted)); Sullivan v. S.C. Dep't of Corr., 355 S.C. 437, 445 n.5, 586 S.E.2d 124, 128 n.5 (2003) ("[S]tate-created liberty interests . . . are not necessarily limited to sentence credit issues and major disciplinary decisions. . . . However, . . . these interests will generally be limited to freedom from restraint which . . . imposes atypical or significant hardship on the inmate in relation to the ordinary incidents of prison life." (internal quotation marks omitted)); Al-Shabazz v. State, 338 S.C. 354, 381-82, 52 S.E.2d 742, 756-57 (1999) (providing that an inmate does not have a state-created liberty interest in a particular custody status or location of incarceration (citing Brown v. Evatt, 322 S.C. 189, 194-95, 470 S.E.2d 848, 851 (1996); Crowe v. Leeke, 273 S.C. 763, 763-64, 259 S.E.2d 614, 614-15 (1979)); Brown, 322 S.C. at 194-95, 470 S.E.2d at 851 (holding that an inmate has no state-created liberty interest in a particular security status).
FEW, C.J., THOMAS and KONDUROS, JJ., concur.
[1] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.

SongCo SOLO | Schubert Winterreise
12 October 2019 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm AEDT
Tickets: Adult $60 | Concession $55
The Song Company presents Soprano Susannah Lawergren in SongCo SOLO.
Susannah and guest pianist Bradley Gilchrist perform together one of the greatest song cycles of all – Schubert's 24-song 'Winterreise'.
Winterreise for soprano is a rare event, especially in Australia, making these very special inaugural SongCo Solo shows.
"I dreamt of flowers blossoming in May, but when the cocks crowed my eyes flew open. On the windowpanes, who painted leaves there? Go, laugh at the dreamer who saw flowers in winter time…."
The action has all happened. The journey has no destination bar one – from which no one has ever returned. Memories, mirages and dreams invade the wanderer's mind, and crows and graveyards offer him strange comfort.
Lotte Lehmann recorded and performed the first female Winterreise during World War II. Christa Ludwig, Brigitte Fassbaender and Christine Schäfer have all recorded versions and late last year, Joyce di Donato made her Winterreise debut.
After eight years in The Song Company, please join The Song Company as they farewell Susannah in this very special SongCo Solo recital.

India eye Test series win against Windies
India strengthened their chances of winning the second Test and the series despite the West Indies' improved batting show after a first-innings collapse on the third day on Wednesday.
India strengthened their chances of winning the second Test and the series despite the West Indies' improved batting show after a first-innings collapse on the third day on Wednesday.
The West Indies, dismissed for 153 in their first innings in reply to India's mammoth 631-7 declared, did better in their second innings to reach 195-3 at stumps at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

The tourists, who lost the opening Test of the three-match series by five wickets in New Delhi, face a stiff task to save the match as they still trail by 283 runs with seven wickets in hand.
Darren Bravo was unbeaten on 38 with the help of three sixes and Shivnarine Chanderpaul on 21 not out.
Opener Adrian Barath (62) and Kirk Edwards (60) defied the Indian attack with a 93-run stand for the second wicket after the early dismissal of Kraigg Brathwaite (nine), who was caught behind off paceman Umesh Yadav.
Barath and Edwards played some attractive shots before fast bowler Ishant Sharma broke the stand immediately after the tea-break when he had Barath caught by Venkatsai Laxman, who held a low catch to his left at first slip.
Barath hit 10 fours in his third Test half-century.
Sharma struck again when he removed Edwards, trapped leg-before after hitting one six and six fours in his second Test half-century.
India gained the big advantage through their bowlers in the morning session as the West Indies could add just 119 runs in 36 overs after resuming at 34-2, with left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha finishing with 4-64.
Yadav, who took one wicket on Tuesday, struck twice in the morning to finish with 3-23 in only his second Test match, while off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin bagged 2-49.
The West Indies' batsmen failed to apply themselves in the first innings on a pitch offering turn and bounce to spinners, with Bravo top-scoring with 30.
Ashwin and Ojha did the early damage when they took one wicket each before Yadav jolted the West Indies by removing Bravo and Marlon Samuels (25) in successive overs.
Ojha got a wicket in the fifth over of the day when he trapped Edwards (16) leg-before for his 50th Test victim in 13 matches after the batsman had added only four runs to his overnight score of 12.
Ashwin, who got married a day before the Test started, captured a big wicket in his opening over when he removed in-form Chanderpaul, who was also trapped leg-before.
Chanderpaul, who scored 118 and 47 in the opening Test, was able to contribute just four runs this time.
Bravo and Samuels played some attacking shots during their 46-run stand for the fifth wicket before falling in the space of seven runs to leave their team struggling at 99-6.
Skipper Darren Sammy tried to counter-attack but did not last long, caught behind off Ojha immediately after smashing the spinner for a straight six. He hit one six and two fours in his 14-ball 18.
Ojha finished the innings when he trapped Fidel Edwards leg-before for 16.

Rafael Kubelík (1914-1996) was one of the finest conductors of the last century. He was the son of Czech violinist and composer Jan Kubelík (1880-1940), with whom he studied violin. At 14 he entered the Prague Conservatory studying violin, piano, composition and conducting, graduating at the age of 19. As a pianist he served as accompanist to his father, whom he adored, on a United States tour in 1935. In 1939 he became music director of the Brno Opera until November 1941 when the company was shut down by the occupying Nazis. The Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, however, was permitted to continue playing and Kubelík became its principal conductor. He refused to conduct Wagner during the occupation and declined to give the Hitler salute to the Nazi Reichsprotektor. He left Prague for obvious reasons and disappeared into the countryside. In 1945 he conducted the Czech Philharmonic's first post-war concert and he helped found the Prague Spring Festival, a perennial event. Following the Communist takeover in Czechoslovakia he moved to England.
Kubelík was music director of the Chicago Symphony from 1950 to 1953, the Royal Opera House from 1955 to 1958 following Solti, then the Bavarian Radio Symphony from 1961 to 1979 following Eugen Jochum. During these appointments and after, he was a sought-after guest conductor in Europe, North America and Australia where I first heard him. I retain a vivid memory of that concert.
In his earlier years Kubelík recorded for EMI. Following his tenure in Chicago, where he recorded for Mercury, he appeared on other major labels with various orchestras but most significantly for DG. His entire catalogue of DG recordings has been assembled in Rafael Kubelík Complete Recordings on Deutsche Grammophon (4799959, 64 CDs, 2 DVDs, 120 page booklet). The works of the many composers represented in this set include the celebrated edition of the complete Beethoven Symphonies with nine different orchestras: London Symphony (1); Berlin Philharmonic (3); Concertgebouw (2); Bavarian RSO (7); Israel Philharmonic (4); Boston Symphony (5); Orchestre de Paris (6); Vienna Philharmonic (7); the Cleveland Orchestra (8) and finally back to Munich for his Bavarian RSO (9). The two Sevenths were recorded four years apart and the same movements are within seconds of each other.
Discs 27 to 36 contain the complete Mahler symphonies with the Bavarian RSO, recorded in 1967-70 in the Herkulessaal, Munich. Many times over this cycle, the performances leave the attentive listener with a new or better understanding of the composer. Quoting Daniel Barenboim, "I often thought I was missing something in Mahler until I listened to Kubelík. There is a lot more to be discovered in these pieces than just a generalized form of extrovert excitement. That is what Kubelík showed."
Deservedly, there are 11 CDs of the music of Dvořák, including what many regard as the definitive collection of the complete symphonies with the Berlin Philharmonic recorded in the Jesus-Christus-Kirche in Berlin in 1966 and 1971/73. Happily listening through them again confirms that these could arguably be the finest versions on record. There is an always-exciting, wonderfully fresh feeling of discovery in them, with the orchestra in total sympathy with the Czech conductor. The Dvořák-fest continues with the ever-uplifting Scherzo capriccioso Op.66 with his Bavarian RSO from 1973 and two CDs of overtures and symphonic poems from 1973/74. Just a reminder, they are: My Homeland (1962), Husitská Op.67, Amid Nature Op.91, Carnaval Overture Op.92, Othello Overture Op.93, The Water Goblin Op.107, The Noon Witch Op.108, The Golden Spinning Wheel Op.109, The Wood Dove Op.110 plus the Symphonic Variations Op.78. The complete Slavonic Dances, Opp.46 and 72 are here and also the Stabat Mater Op.58 with soloists, chorus, organ and orchestra. All the Bavarian recordings were made in the Herkulessaal in Munich. To tie off the Dvořák offerings, Kubelík appears with the English Chamber Orchestra in London conducting the Legends Op.59 and the Serenade for Strings. Op.22.
There are the four Schumann Symphonies from Berlin and a haunting Gurrelieder and so much more. Glancing over the contents one can only be impressed by his repertoire. Composers represented include Bartók, Berg, Bruckner, Falla, Grieg, Handel, Janáček, Mozart, Orff, Smetana, Wagner and others. The two DVDs contain revelatory performances of Mozart's 38th (VPO), Beethoven's Second and Leonora III (Concertgebouw), the Eroica (BPO) and the Bruckner Fourth (VPO). As a bonus: "Scenes from a musical life," an informative biography with conversations, rehearsals, etc.
Kubelík's performances were never matter-of-fact. He drew music from the score without any excessive subjective hyperbole in tempi or accents or balances to make a point. This set will be a must-have for those who can appreciate his art. Noticeably absent are the four Brahms symphonies. He recorded them for Decca with the Vienna Philharmonic in 1956/57. Symphonies 1 & 4 are on Australia's Decca Eloquence, available through Amazon Canada for $11.21.
Our review in the last issue enthused over La Nilsson, containing her complete Decca/DG recordings. Now as a complement there is a DVD, Birgit Nilsson A League of Her Own, an exultation of her life and art (Cmajor 800008). This is a documentary, a solid 89 minutes with not a minute wasted on any item not pertinent to her life, development and career, with videos to the point. We see and hear her singing in many venues – the Vienna State Opera, the Salzburg Festival, the Met – and she talks about memorable incidences including encounters with Karajan, Knappertsbusch, Böhm, Rudolf Bing and producer John Culshaw. During the recording of Götterdämmerung in Vienna, Nilsson is distinctly unhappy with the recorded balance between the orchestra and her voice, stating (correctly so) that in tuttis she does not soar above the orchestra as it is heard in the studio and the opera house. She quotes another scene not involving her that further illustrates that Culshaw always favours the orchestra. Culshaw agrees that he does and there is a tacit armistice. There are interviews with many of her colleagues, including her longtime special friend Plácido Domingo. A really interesting program.
Another significant DVD from Cmajor is the video of Leonard Bernstein's controversial Tristan und Isolde from Munich, recorded live in 1981 with the Bavarian RSO and Choir (746208, 3 DVDs). The Tristan is Peter Hofmann, Hildegard Behrens is Isolde, Yvonne Minton is Brangäne, Bernd Weikl is Kurwenal. It was Bernstein's lingering tempi that bothered many upon its CD release on Philips, particularly in the Prelude. Being there and seeing him rapt by the music, his tempo is perfect and not a whit overlong. This was a concert performance with the singers performing before a very large scrim behind the orchestra. One's attention is held by the characters, not by any stage business. The new listener should read the plot given in the enclosed booklet. The cast clearly convey all the intended emotions, always supported by the engaged conductor. Altogether, a most welcome and illuminating release. A real treat.
Another DVD of Leonard Bernstein has him directing an appropriately reduced Vienna Philharmonic in the Musikverein playing Haydn (Cmajor 746408). There are three G-Major symphonies, No.94 "Surprise," No.92 "Oxford" and the beautiful No.88. Adding the Sinfonia Concertante in B-flat Major makes a perfectly charming, undemanding 110-minute concert. Nothing sensational here, but does everything need to be?
Over the last few years, 2008 to 2015, LSO Live has released recordings of the three Rachmaninov Symphonies with Valery Gergiev conducting, recorded live in the Barbican Centre. They now come in a boxed set as three CD/SACD hybrid discs plus one Blu-ray audio disc of the symphonies and more (LSO LS000816). Gergiev would seem to be the right person to conduct the music of his countryman, even though there are others, including Russians, who have recorded all three Rachmaninov symphonies or individual entries. Back in the day, Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra were the go-to recordings and were regarded as pretty well definitive. As an aside, Rachmaninov consulted with Ormandy while orchestrating the (included) Symphonic Dances Op.45. Gergiev takes these Rachmaninov scores very seriously and offers them boldly, without apology. Being accustomed to hearing a brazen First, I was quite taken aback by Gergiev's assertive, majestic performance. The opulent, hour-long Second, the jewel of the cycle, is simply perfect… nostalgically beautiful throughout, particularly in the first and the third movement Adagio. The Third was written some 30 years later and does not enjoy the same popularity. Also included are Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances and two Balakirev symphonic poems, Russia and his acknowledged masterpiece, Tamara.
The performances are played with commanding conviction, enjoying full and brilliant sound. A winning edition. And think about this: when you acquire this set you own all these pieces three ways, on CD, on SACD and in Blu-ray 5.1 surround sound.

Case studies showing how statistics can be used in education.
I use national data to support our communications, market research, and articles for the faculty magazine Te Kuaka.
We need reliable and detailed facts about the people living and working in New Zealand. In particular, data on ethnicity and how it is changing over time.
We use census data because it counts everyone living in New Zealand and collects information that can't be found elsewhere.
Are we going to have enough trainee carpenters in Northland in 2020?
Bruce and Greg, from Building and Construction Industry Training Organisation (BCITO), need to know the likely answer to questions like this. They spoke with us to share their insights on why reliable data is important to the construction industry's succession planning.

The Collage Company Blog
Be the best you can be Baron Pierre De Coubertin, founded the modern Olympic movement in 1894, stating that 'The important thing in life is not to triumph, but to compete,' encouraging everyone to compete against themselves. His sentiment is formalised in the Olympic motto which challenges each individual to do and become the very best that they can: 'Citius, Altius, Fortius' (Faster, Higher, Stronger), aiming, through sport, to build bonds across the nations.
The UK may not be topping the medal tables at Sochi 2014, but let's face it, we have come a long way over the past 20 years from the days when us Brits merely admired the Winter Olympics from afar and never imagined that we would ever see the Union Jack hoist high and be singing along with the National Anthem with tears in our eyes as I was doing while watching the glorious Lizzie Yarnold receiving her gold medal last week.
The paucity of medals heading UK-wards in comparison with, say Norway, though does nothing to diminish the massive excitement and thrill of the whole event. From the spectacular opening ceremony, to the thrills and spills up on the hill, the sliders hurtling down the terrifying ice track and the extraordinary precision on the curling rink - I have been glued to the TV and wishing that I had travelled to the Black Sea to witness it in person.
For success or failure aside, the whole ethos of Olympic competition creates an atmosphere like no other to inspire and bind us together in the international community of sport. The dedication, hard-work and perseverance of all the athletes is both inspiring and humbling. They will all, both medal winners and those for whom just taking part has been a life-thrill, return from Sochi with an amazing memory bank that is the Olympic experience. The spirit of friendship generated can break down barriers which in other circumstances might seem unsurmountable. Let us all hope that this spirit is carried onwards across the world after the Games are ended.

When is war justified?
Only those of legitimate authority may justly lead its country into war. This tenet disallows justifying war for the purpose of economic gain, land acquisition, or strategic position. If war is to be justly initiated just cause, usually humanitarian, must first exist.
Two specific conditions are necessary to justify war. First, direct aggression against the United States, our allies, or those who are unable to protect themselves against direct aggression. Second, indirect aggression against the U.S. During both conditions the moral correctness, realistic threat, and potential harm would be assessed to determine an appropriate response. After a decision has been make from those premises, war could morally be justified and action should be taken. However, indirect aggression is the most difficult premise to evaluate. Its relevancy to our nation and allies is difficult to determine succinctly. In order to understand how we would deal with such a condition to engage in a war built on this premise one must understand U.S.
Ideology. Current U.S. ideology insists that direct aggression be met with self defense. Under this condition, the main concerns are the safety of its citizens, the freedom to exercise their rights and proportional intervention against the aggressor to ensure such safety and freedom. An example of U.S. policy this situation occurred on December 7, 1941. The United States declared war on Japan in self-defense. U.S. response was considered necessary and imminent. Indirect aggression on the other hand, it is not so easy to establish a just war.
Every war fought after World War II rested on the U.S. response to indirect aggression. Capitalism and democracy is directly opposed to or influence was perceived as a direct threat and destroyed, if by no other reason, by fear. The thought established in the 1950's the sheds...

Meet Me
Hi my name is Lisa Manzo and I am a registered Holistic Nutritionist (R.H.N), a Personal Trainer, author of the book Healthy is Sexy and the founder of PurEnergy Wellness Lofts in Toronto.
I have devoted my life to educating others on living a more holistic lifestyle. I spend my days staying active and love to run, walk, do yoga and participate in outdoor activities.
Longing for a more natural approach to beauty I started experimenting and creating natural beauty recipes. This allowed me to steer away from commercial beauty products while getting the results I desired NATURALLY. Creating unique recipes is my passion and I am grateful to be able to share them with you. I have sold over 600 books to-date and looking forward to selling more!
I hope you enjoy the book as much as I have enjoyed creating it.
Lots of Love,
Lisa Manzo

About BAS
"The goal is to give the new architect knowledge about society, the individual and the environment, and to develop the individual skills for creative clarification and visual expression; - to be able to cope with any situation one will meet as an architect." Professor and founder Svein Hatløy
Bergen School of Architecture was established in 1986 in Bergen as an educational alternative to the two public architecture schools in Norway.
The school was approved by the Ministry of Education in 1990 and graduated its first class of graduate architects in the spring of 1991. BAS is a private foundation and one of three approved architectural studies in Norway. BAS educates masters in architecture, a five-year professional study.
For the western region in Norway and Bergen in particular, it is essential that architects are trained that have basic knowledge of the local building tradition and climate.
Now the school is located in Sandviken in Bergen. The school has transformed a former industrial estate with a grain silo and deep water quay into studios and workshops for an architecture school.
For an impression of the life at BAS, read an article in a local newpaper from 2011, in connection with the 25th anniversary at BAS. Article from Bergensavisen.
The buildings serve as the base for the school.
During the course, students go on a number of long field trips on the west coast of Norway and other parts of the world.
Facts: 150 students. A permanent teaching team that includes professors, associate professors and teachers. A network of teachers and examiners which includes practicing architects and educators from around the world.
BAS has as of autumn 2015 graduated 483 architects.
Academically, BAS is based upon the idea of the subject in the center
and Open Form / inclusive architecture, a form theory established by Oskar Hansen (Poland) and continued in Norway by former Rector, Professor Svein Hatløy. The scientific approach to architecture requires unconventional teaching methods and makes BAS an educational alternative. Meanwhile, the BAS study a holistic program for sustainable development that focuses on landscape and climate as the basis for the architecture.
"Both the curriculum and the student work that I have seen at Bergen School of Architecture points towards an anthropological and ecological architecture, which is the most important direction that I think architecture should take advance in the current phase of western culture. A culture threatened by false techno-economic rationalism, consumerist materialism, shallow internationalism, and detachment of architecture and life at large from their mytho-poetic essence."
Juhani Paliasma, Finland
Professor in architecture,
Rector, Faculty of Architecture, Helsinki Polytechnical Univ. (1993)

The other day, in a garden centre, I saw some chicken pellet fertiliser … and the picture on the packet looked remarkably like the droppings created by our little pet at home.
So back home, I did a little online research and …. turns out that our beloved 17 yr old chinchilla, who has been my pet since I was just out of my teens, is a compost making machine. There were forums of people in America comparing how much money they were making from selling their chinchilla droppings on Craigs List, meanwhile we've just been sweeping them into the bin all these years!
I immediately started using this new, free, nitrogen fixer on the soil, and time will tell how good it really is. However, the best side effect so far has been that we can take down our battery-powered sonic cat scarer. The local cats creep up, and then dart off, terrified, never to return.
Chinchillas are native to the Andes, so perhaps they think some huge South American mountain cat got there first?

Looks like we've got confirmation (oh wait, we confirmed it a week ago) of what everyone's been talking about; Apple is definitely giving the Intel chipset the boot and moving to an NVIDIA one. Hopefully this means not only more power but more battery life (hybrid SLI), more versatility (OpenCL and CUDA), and slightly smaller size (unified chipset architecture). I don't think anyone's super surprised at this move, although there had been rumors that NVIDIA was getting out of the chipset game altogether.
I'm happy to hear that such an interesting change is definitely coming over what will likely be my next laptop — let's just hope we don't have an epidemic of cracked solder.

As my California best friend's parents would say, "Remember that time we went to San Antonio's Riverwalk…". It was a fabulous trip with the beautiful riverwalk and surrounding area (which was also definitely improved with the hotel's free breakfast which somehow makes everything so much better!) whereas when they had been to San Antonio previously, it was definitely not something to write home about. In fact, they had a hair raising experience checking into a hotel. I have fond memories of repeated trips to the Iron Cactus for guacamole with them (they were great sports with my love of guacamole). So, when I was in San Antonio for APICS 2017, I definitely searched out the Iron Cactus and took a picture. With that said, I figured readers would prefer the beauty of the riverwalk. The oldest restaurant in town, Casa Rio, is featured below and of course I tried the guacamole! Have you thought about how the city of San Antonio transformed this area into a top notch tourist destination?
One tip to implement this week:
Perhaps you are thinking that creating a destination isn't something that applies to your business; after all, we aren't a "city" (although a few of us might work for one). Regardless, it absolutely is something we should ponder. Wouldn't you like your customers to consider your company, your Customer Service team or your service a compelling "destination"? When most people get a new iPhone, don't you think they see it as a new "destination" of sorts? Everyone gets in line to buy one and social media buzzes. Quite similar, if you ask me!
So, how can we create a destination? Let's start by considering our customers and clients. San Antonio had to think about what would appeal to their tourists and citizens. Where would they enjoy spending time? How could they make what they have into something attractive? Start by thinking about those same questions. Undoubtedly, everyone has a talent, and there is something good to find in every company. What is it? Can you build upon that strength? Obviously, San Antonio had to start with a river which not every city has. Stretch your thinking and run your ideas by your colleagues. What do you think would really entice your customers? Find out and let me know in the comments!Tags: APICS, colleagues, customer service, destination, Riverwalk, San Antonio, service, talent
