This week, I challenged myself to cook a dish using only what I had in my cupboards.? Actually, this is what I do most of the time.? But to find one recipe that I can actually follow and be certain that it's going to be good is not that easy.? Soup!? There's always a good soup recipe that you can make without having to go to the grocery store.? This is the main reason I eat soup.? When it's chilli at night or in the winter, even when spring is not in a hurry to show up… soup always makes a good meal.? We can prepare it in advance and take a bowl here and there in the following days.? I'm talking of course about a normal family.? If my soup can last two days, I'm asking my kids if there was a problem.? Maybe they didn't like it!?? I made this one in the afternoon, so when they came back from school, hungry like teenagers are, they could have a bowl or two…? And they did!? They probably enjoyed it because by the end of the next day, the pot was empty! I called this one a dish type soup.? One bowl of this and you're full.? There's potatoes, fish, grains, peas…? Everything good in one simple bowl. I promise, this is the last soup recipe I'll give to you, for a while at least. Spring is here to stay now and we're about to welcome summer soon... so no soup for a while after this. In the summer, we'll keep it fresh and colorful. For now, for those few chilly nights coming, let's do this soup!
- 1 cup chopped yellow onions
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/8 cup olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 -1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups medium-diced potatoes
- 900 g bag Soup Mix (Green and yellow split peas, red split lentils, rice and pearl barley)
- 4 cups water
- 8 cups chicken stock
- 2 cans tuna in oil
- In a 4-quart stockpot on medium heat, saute the onions and garlic with the olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper until the onions are translucent, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Add the potatoes, chicken stock, water and soup mix. Bring to a boil, then simmer uncovered for 40 minutes or until all the peas are soft.
- Add the two cans of tuna.? Skim off the foam while cooking.
- Stir frequently to keep the solids from burning on the bottom. Taste for salt and pepper.
- Serve hot.
I like to use the Soup mix ever since I discovered it. I always have a bag in the cupboards just in case. After I got a few complaints from my children about my pea soup, I had to do things differently. This is how the Soup Mix bag became a habit. Green and yellow peas, red lentils, rice and pearl barley gave another twist to my soups. Why using only one ingredient when you can have it all in one bag. The price is ridiculous and it's easy to mix it in with all kinds of vegetables, meat or fish. Just make sure you use enough liquid with it if you want to experiment with some recipes of your own. The Soup Mix cooks pretty fast. Don't expect to have your soup cooking on your stove for hours. It's not going to happen. In less than an hour, it's usually perfectly cooked! Another good reason to try it - you don't have to plan your dish hours before... a last minute meal can include a soup now!
We really enjoyed the Tuna dish type soup. It was delicious, easy to make and fast to prepare.
This is the way I like to cook!

Worrying number of street lights out of action in Didcot
Reported in the Street lighting category anonymously at 12:50, Wed 2 January 2019
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council 5 minutes later
A quick scan through the FMS reports for Didcot show that most of them are street lights not working. There is a whole section of the ring road where the lights are off, plus loads more all over the town.
It is worrying that so many are out, and the number is growing, but none of them seem to be getting fixed.
Perhaps a new contractor should be taken on who can do the work required
Many thanks for sedning this through and apologies that so many are out. We have a new contractor in place as of December, this has led to a backlog of outages due to their mobilisation period. We also have sections of lights out that are down to service cable issues. The service cables are owned by SSE so we have to rely on SSE to get these rectifed. I am hoping as of this month that the backlog will be cleared, apologies again of the situation we are currently in

Jerusalem - The Great Harlot
Date: 05/01/2006
Issue No. 214
At the end of Revelation 18, after all has been said about the collapse of that great city, after all the wailing and weeping from those who profited by her power, John identifies the great harlot.
Yet take note that the "mystery" or "secret" side of Babylon is not revealed or exposed until after her fall from power. The key is found in Rev. 18:20 and 24,
20 Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, because God has pronounced judgment for you against her… 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints and of all who have been slain on the earth.
John certainly knew who this was, for he had heard Jesus say the same things many years earlier. This harlot-city called "Babylon" is held liable for the blood of "all who have been slain on the earth." This harlot-city is also liable for "the blood of prophets and of saints." Jesus said in Luke 13:33 and 34,
33 … for it cannot be that a prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem. 34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those sent to her!
Jerusalem is the only city that is said to have killed the prophets and those "sent" to her. The word "sent" is from the Greek word apostelo, which is the word for "apostle," one who is sent. Thus, in Revelation 18 we see Jerusalem held liable for the blood of both prophets and apostles—those that God sent to her.
Listen, then, to Jesus' words in Matt. 23:29-39,
29 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous, 30 and say, "If we had been living in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in shedding the blood of the prophets." 31 Conse-quently, you bear witness against yourselves, that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Fill up then the measure of the guilt of your fathers.
Jesus is saying that Jerusalem has "murdered the prophets," and that she was to continue doing so until she had filled up her cup of iniquity with guilt.
33 You serpents, you brood of vipers, how shall you escape the sentence of hell [gehenna]. 34 Therefore, behold, I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city, 35 that upon you may fall the guilt of all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 Truly I say to you, all these things shall upon this generation [genea, "offspring or race"].
It is clear from Jesus' statement that He considered Jerusalem to be guilty of all the blood shed on earth from Abel to His own day—or at least to Zechariah. But John extends this to the end of the age when great "Babylon" falls from power and is cast into the sea like a great millstone (Rev. 18:21).
Jerusalem is Babylon—and Sodom and Egypt
Mystery Babylon, then, is somehow synonymous with the old Jerusalem insofar as the law is concerned. John alludes to this earlier in Revelation 11:8, in the context of the two witnesses:
8 And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which mystically is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.
Here we find Jerusalem identified with both Sodom and Egypt. So it is not merely Babylon. Sodom is a symbol of immorality and is remembered for being destroyed by fire and brimstone. Egypt is a symbol of bondage and is remembered for its destruction by the ten plagues. And finally, Babylon is a symbol of commerce built upon usury, rather than upon the divine law, and of pride in its own wealth and greatness. Babylon is remembered for its sudden fall at the hand of Cyrus, called "His anointed," or literally, a "messiah" (Is. 45:1). He is a type of Christ.
Likewise, the old Jerusalem is Sodom in that its lawlessness caused it to kill the prophets. Jerusalem is Egypt in that it is identified with Hagar, the Egyptian (Gal. 4:25) and is in bondage with her children, the followers of Judaism who rejected Jesus. Finally, Jerusalem is also Babylon, in that its "children" have gained control over the world-system through their financial and banking empires.
Old Babylon was not liable for the blood of prophets. It incurred this liability when Babylon and Jerusalem had a corporate merger. Liability for immoral lawlessness and bondage was incurred when they also merged with Sodom and Egypt. While this did not occur on a physical or national level, it did occur "mystically," (NASB) or "spiritually" (KJV).
In other words, Jerusalem is spiritual Babylon, spiritual Sodom, and spiritual Egypt. Those who work to establish Jerusalem as the Kingdom of God are working for the opposition party. Christian Zionists have been tricked into supporting the opposition, much like people today join Freemasonry without knowing who their leaders are at the top of the ladder. Nor do they know the real agenda. They are just the "workers" who provide the cash to support their own enslavement.
The harlot of Babylon looks really beautiful. The ancient city was probably the most beautiful city in the world, and it could dazzle the eyes of any carnally-minded man. Nonetheless, at its heart, it was a man-centered city, and in the heart of man was death.
Jesus said that Jerusalem was like a white-washed tomb that was beautiful on the outside, but full of death inside. That conveys the same idea using a different metaphor. Luke tells us in Luke 11:53 that after Jesus charged Jerusalem with all the blood of the earth from Abel to Zechariah, "the Pharisees began to be very hostile" to Him, "plotting against Him, to catch Him in something He might say."
The priests and leaders did the same with Jeremiah when he spoke against Jerusalem and the temple, saying that God would forsake it like He forsook Shiloh. In fact, they would have killed Jeremiah, had not the people prevented it (Jer. 26:24).
Being Chosen Brings Liability
Israel was "chosen" by God to be the executors of His will—which was to be a blessing to all families of the earth. To use a different biblical metaphor, Israel was God's "vineyard" that was called to bring forth the fruits of the Kingdom (Isaiah 5:7).
Some years after God planted this vineyard in Canaan, the time came for God to reap some benefits of His labor. But the people refused to give Him the fruit of the Kingdom that He desired. Instead, they killed God's servants, the prophets, whom He sent to obtain those fruits (Matt. 21:35, 36). Finally, He sent His Son, but when they saw Him, they said, "This is the Heir; come, let us kill Him and seize His inheritance" (Matt. 21:38).
Jesus' parable in Matthew 21 is too short and concise to bring in the details of Israel's captivities. But we know from biblical history that God sold Israel into the hands of six different nations during the time of the book of Judges. By law, this removed the burden from Israel and put it upon the shoulders of other nations for short periods of time. In effect, those other nations redeemed Israel's debt note and took upon themselves the liability to pay her debt. In exchange, they were given authority over Israel as if they were the "chosen" people.
When those nations proved to be unable to produce the fruits of the Kingdom, God overthrew them as well. The effect of this was to give mercy to Israel and allow them time to repent, to resolve to follow God's law, and to try again to bring forth the fruit that God desires. Those grace periods were called "captivities," because the people did not quite understand the mercy of God in this.
As for Jerusalem, the great captivity finally arrived when God gave Jerusalem and all other nations into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon (Jer. 27:5-8). In effect, God was "choosing" Babylon by giving that city authority over Jerusalem and all nations. He was treating Babylon as if they were the chosen people. In fact, legally speaking, Babylon became "chosen."
That means Babylon became liable to bring forth the fruits of the Kingdom. Nebuchadnezzar's dream in Daniel 2 gives us further revelation that this captivity was to extend beyond Babylon itself. It was to extend to a long succession of empires. Thus, the debt note passed from Babylon to Media-Persia, and then to Greece, and then to Rome. Each earthly empire in turn had opportunity to be "chosen," so that none could say they could have done better, if they had just been given the chance.
In the big picture, the time of captivities to Babylon per se extended for 8 periods of 414 years, from the first captivity to the King of Mesopotamia (Babylon) in Judges 3:8 all the way to 1948. I explained this in more detail in the FFI for March 2006.
The year 1948 had a potential for being the end of the Babylonian system—except that there was one more loose end that needed to be addressed. It was Esau's old claim to the birthright, which had been promised by Isaac in Genesis 27:40, when he would break Jacob's yoke from off his neck.
We are now in that final appendage of time that has been granted to Esau to see what he would do with the birthright. Like with all the other nations that were given such an opportunity, modern Esau has squandered its inheritance to fulfill its own carnal lusts for power and money. Esau was given the birthright according to the law of the hated son (Mal. 1:3; Deut. 21:15-21). But Esau will also be disinherited according to the law of the rebellious son (Deut. 21:18-21), once he has proven himself by his violence and bloodthirstiness (Ezekiel 35:6).
Esau Kills Nimrod
In the book of Jasher we read that Esau was the one who killed Nimrod, the king of Babylon. After running for his life, Esau returned home very tired and hungry, and this was how he came to sell his birthright to Jacob, who took advantage of his condition.
Jasher also tells us that he took Nimrod's garments, by which he ruled. This was the coat of skin that God had given to Adam, and it had become a symbol of the divine right to rule. The garments had been passed down to Noah, but Ham and Canaan stole them from him after Noah had had too much wine. Thus, they "saw his nakedness."
These garments were eventually given to Cush, who gave them to his son, Nimrod. When Nimrod finally came into the open, clothed with those garments, men recognized him as the king ruling by divine right. Perhaps they did not realize that the garments had been stolen and the throne usurped by Babylon.
At any rate, Esau ended up with those garments. He had more faith in those garments than in his father's ability to pass on the true birthright. So he despised his birthright and sold it to Jacob—who did value it, even though his character still needed considerable alteration before he would qualify to rule.
This story is really an end-time prophecy of what occurred in 1948. At that time, Esau succeeded Nimrod as king of Babylon. Esau became "chosen." But he was still clothed with the garments of Adam, which was the mortal clothing given to mankind as a substitute for the immortal clothing of the glorified body. That garment represented a mortal, death-ridden body that cannot bring forth the fruits of the Kingdom. It cannot bring forth Sons in the Image of God; it can only bring forth sons in the fallen image of man. Like begets like.
The Transfer of Authority and Liability
Babylon was not built until long after the time of the flood. In other words, Nimrod's kingdom appeared long after the time of Adam. And yet it is based upon the first Adam, rather than the Last Adam. When Nimrod put on the garments of Adam, he took upon himself the liability for sin that goes all the way back to Adam. That includes the murder of Abel.
This important prophetic type shows us that Babylon's rule is based upon the rule of sin. Nimrod usurped the divine right to rule from Noah and Shem. Shem then left Mesopotamia and built the City of Salem, that is Yeru-Shalayim. He was the original Melchizedek, the title of all the kings of Jerusalem. It means "King of Righteousness."
Note that Adoni-zedek, "Lord of Righteousness" was king of Jerusalem in Joshua 10:1. It is interchangeable with Melchizedek. This Adoni-zedek was another usurper in Jerusalem, for the birthright of Shem had gone to Isaac and then to Jacob; but when Shem died, someone else became king, who was not the rightful heir to the throne. Years later, Joshua killed Adoni-Zedek (Joshua 10:23-27). A few centuries later, David took the city itself, and thus it passed back to the rightful heir.
Later, we are given another example of usurpation in the story of David and Absalom. I have written about this many times and how it prophesied of Jesus' throne being usurped by the religious leaders with the help of Judas.
All of these usurpers prophesy of the great usurpation in Jesus' day, when the religious leaders said, "This is the Heir; come, let us kill Him and seize His inheritance." In doing so, they became Spiritual Babylon. They usurped the throne from the Heir.
In so doing, they took upon themselves the liability for the Debt Note, along with their own personal liability for murdering the King (Acts 7:52).
There are multiple levels of liability, depending upon which biblical theme one wishes to pursue. The most important fact to see here is that Nimrod usurped the throne from Noah and Shem, and Esau usurped it in turn from Nimrod. Nimrod's kingdom is Babylon, which prophetically extends beyond the old city to the succession of empires seen in Daniel 2. This brings us to 1948, when, prophetically speaking, Esau took the garments from Nimrod and laid claim to the throne of the world—and the birthright from Adam.
Esau thus became ruler of Babylon and incurred the liability for the Debt Note that Babylon was responsible to pay off. The Note came due in 1948, but was deferred long enough to give time for Esau to fulfill its terms.
Meanwhile, Babylon, that great city, that great harlot, became a great financial and commercial empire that has brought prosperity through debt, freedom through slavery, and power through lawlessness. It looks beautiful on the outside, but is full of dead men's bones. Its face is painted like that of Jezebel, but it is a harlot and a usurper. It has been enough of a counterfeit to deceive much of the Church and world leaders to commit fornication with her.
The Overcomers Given the Kingdom
In Jer. 7:11 the prophet said,
11 Has this house, which is called by My name, become a den of robbers in your sight? Behold, I, even I, have seen it, declares the Lord.
This was the condition by which the prophet told them that God was going to forsake Jerusalem as He did with Shiloh. Jesus quoted from this in Matt. 21:13,
13 And He said to them, It is written, My House shall be called a house of prayer; but you are making it a robbers' den.
In other words, Jesus was warning them that the glory of God was going to depart forever, as it had departed from Shiloh. Jesus was the embodiment of that glory. When He at last ascended from the Mount of Olives (Acts 1:12), the removal of glory that had begun in Ezekiel 10, 11 was completed.
Later in Matt. 21:33-43 Jesus told the parable showing the reasons why the Kingdom was to be transferred to others. After allowing them to judge themselves, Jesus gave the final verdict in verse 43,
43 Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and be given to a nation producing the fruit of it.
But in Jesus' day, Rome was still at its height of power. Rome held the debt note. Jesus was actually referring to a future time, after the fall of Rome, when those fruit-bearers would receive the kingdom and the birthright in 1948. Only after 1948 did they have something to be taken. We are now fast approaching that time. We have seen the signs, and so we know that it is close at hand.
The End of Babylon
So Rev. 18:21, quoted earlier, says that this Babylon will be "thrown down with violence, and will not be found any longer." With it will go its counterfeit Manchild, the Israeli state. Meanwhile, the Jews and Palestinians will fight over it, but in the end, neither will have it.
The prophecy of Isaiah 29:1-8 will be fulfilled. God will bring other nations to Jerusalem to fight against her and to lay siege against her. They will hunger and thirst to possess that land. But when the dust settles, they will find that it has been like a dream, Isaiah says, where they dream of eating or drinking, but when they awaken, they find themselves still hungry and thirsty.
In other words, NO ONE WILL POSSESS IT. To me, that describes a situation after a nuclear attack, as Isaiah describes in verses 5 and 6. No one will be able to live there, at least for the foreseeable future.
Likewise, Jeremiah's prophecy in Jeremiah 19 will be fulfilled at the same time. The prophet was led to smash an earthen bottle in the city dump ("gehenna"), saying in verse 11,
11 … Thus says the Lord of hosts, Just so shall I break this people and this city, even as one breaks a potter's vessel, which cannot again be repaired; and they will bury in Topheth ["burning"] because there is no other place for burial. 12 This is how I shall treat this place and its inhabitants, declares the Lord, so as to make this city like Topheth.
Recall that Jesus said in Matt. 23:13,
33 You serpents, you brood of vipers, how shall you escape the sentence of hell [gehenna].
No doubt he was referring to Jeremiah's prophecy, which had been given in the place called in the Greek, gehenna, and in the Hebrew, the valley of Ben-Hinnom. The fact that Jesus used the word gehenna, rather than hades, shows that it is a reference to the destruction of Jerusalem—not to the last Judgment of the dead. I wrote about this distinction in my book, The Judgments of the Divine Law.
So when we put all of this together, we conclude that the old Jerusalem is today's great harlot of Babylon, which is soon to be thrown into the sea as a great millstone, as John puts it, or (in Jesus words) be thrown into gehenna.

For many people, used heavy trucks are considered as an economic necessity. But, whether the buyer is an independent individual with specialized job or an industrial company, purchasing a brand new truck might not really be a feasible choice considering the present economic climate.
Even though it could be nice to have a new truck, the somewhat hefty asking prices are not just affordable for most company owners or drivers these days, and this is the reason why the market of used heavy trucks is doing so well. Provided that the major parts of the truck, such as the brakes, chassis and engine, are still in great working order, these heavy duty trucks can practically last through almost everything and the fact that they were previously owned doesn't mean that they are less than capable.
But, before making a trip to any salvage yard or haggle online, there are two vital things that you first have to do. Better read on to save your time, money and free yourself from a headache or two.
Know More about the Parts
It is almost vital to have basic knowledge regarding the parts needed for a heavy truck. Try to look for how these parts work and conduct a quick search only for any usual breakdown or problem that used parts can have. You may learn that these have the tendency to wear in a certain place and can teach yourself to identify mechanical weakness that the vendor might be crossing his fingers that you will miss.
Avoid skipping a complete visual inspection before you settle for any part. Check for any major dents, scratches or cracks that can compromise the overall structural integrity. Any part that has been weakened by damage can pose serious threat not just to your wallet but also to your safety and you have to cautiously avoid. There is no need for you to take any chances with non-refundable parts that you cannot hold the original manufacturer accountable for should it malfunction and cause harm to you or other people.
Research on Different Dealers
You can check at several dealers offering used heavy trucks to see as to which ones have the best reputation for quality and service. Going for the least price doesn't mean that you will get the best deal as well. There are bad parts which can quickly get a bit expensive. You might want to read some reviews online first and ask around town. See to it that you don't get stuck with any low quality part by dicey vendors and this must always be your top priority. By taking an hour or two with due diligence, you will be able to find a great dealer offering lifetime or limited guarantees on used parts.
The used parts of heavy trucks is a very economical choice once maintained properly. The price that it takes to replace several parts is going to be far less compared to the overall price of a new heavy truck and once you find good parts, this can add years of reliable and safe use, and this is something that anyone will surely appreciate. Your best bet is to search HeavyTruckParts.Net for the most variety and the best prices.

As countless messages fill the world, consumers increasingly turn to family, friends, peers and, even strangers, to make buying decisions. Whether those decisions are as broad as who to do business with or are centered around which item to buy to help solve their problem, word-of-mouth and online reviews have become a key part of that decision-making process. Too many bad…Continue

I'm sure that you've all heard the tale of the princess and the frog. In the beginning, the princess despises the frog and doesn't want to interact with it – especially not to kiss it – but through personal interaction and a little time, the frog wins her over, gets that kiss and transforms into the prince he actually was all along.
In the past, big brands…Continue

Government and private sector are trying hard to provide banking facilities in all corners of India and especially in the rural and undeveloped areas. As this sector is growing day by day, they need manpower and that's the reason why there is a lot more to do in banking.
In today's life, we are dependent on technologies to ease our work. For example, net banking, cheque transfer is very comfortable nowadays in comparison to old days, when we must stand in a queue for our turn. digital banking services are somehow saving our precious time and making our easy and tension free. It plays a very important role in everyday life. Banking is like a backbone of the country it is very helpful in promoting the economy of the country.

For people who dread hitting the gym or going for a jog, this one's for you. A new study finds that people who do more "incidental" physical activities – like sweeping or taking a stroll around the office – have better cardiorespiratory fitness than those who do less. Study author Ashlee McGuire and fitness expert Fred DeVito offer some suggestions for how to sprinkle these incidental acts into your day.
Though we may not like it, we all know that moderate-to-vigorous physical activity leads to serious benefits for one's heart and overall health. But in contrast to the long held notion that low-key activity does little or nothing for your fitness, researchers now say that small activities like chores and errands may actually have cumulative effect over time.
In the new study, the research team had overweight participants wear accelerometers to measure how much random activity they did every day. Then they challenged the participants' cardiorespiratory fitness with a treadmill test and spirometry, a test of lung function. The results were sweet: people who engaged in more activities in their daily routines had significantly better heart-lung function than people who did less. The more intense these minor movements, the better their fitness level.
As many of us know, starting a hard core exercise routine can be daunting to the point of paralyzing – so just doing what you can is a good start. Starting slowly, doing the things you do anyway and building up over time, is a more realistic way to begin.
McGuire underlines that the take-home message is really that every little bit of activity adds up over the long haul. For example, while "parking a block away from work instead of in the parking lot directly outside the office may not seem like it would be helpful (because it only amounts to a total of 10 minutes of extra walking per day), it actually is," she says. "Each little bit of physical activity that is performed will add up over the course of the day or week. It also doesn't matter how hard the physical activity is, even the easy or very low intensity physical activity is beneficial when it is all added up at the end of the day."
And since you're probably already doing many of these incidental activities already, now knowing that they're actually helping your health may help you do more.
Fred DeVito, who co-founded the Core Fusion® workout, agrees that getting over the mental block is half the battle. "When exercise is looked at as a chore, it becomes a burden," he says. Start getting active little by little, "by choosing an activity or multiple activities that you find fun. Walking with your headphones on is a great way to start. No pressure, no goals or expectations. Just go and take a long walk. Breathe, meditate while moving. From there you begin to eat better and take care of yourself."
DeVito's final thoughts for would-be exercisers or those who have taken a little hiatus: "When you have a setback – and you will – the desire to live a healthier lifestyle needs to be your driving force. Never look back, always love and forgive yourself."
Here are some creative, and mostly pain-free, ways to add a little more activity to your day.
Drop to Plank
Fred DeVito, fitness expert and executive vice president of training at Exhale spa, suggests doing a "two-minute plank pose every morning before you shower." The posture will strengthen and tone virtually every muscle in your body. Plank pose is intense – two minutes will leave you panting!
Walk to the Next Station
Allowing yourself 10 extra minutes before you get on the bus or train, says DeVito, gives you the opportunity for a quick walk before starting your day. Get on the subway one station further from where you normally would – or if you drive to work, park 10 minutes away, which adds an automatic 20 minutes of exercise to your day!
Save an Email
Walking over to talk to your coworker face-to-face, instead of sending an email, is the classic workplace way to burn a few extra calories, says researcher Ashlee McGuire. "It may only take 2 minutes to walk down the hallway but during this time you are burning calories, increasing blood flow, contracting your muscles, and loosening your joints."
Clean House. Literally.
Cleaning your house is probably something you do anyway, but now you can do it knowing that you're improving the health of your heart. Sweeping, mopping, scrubbing, and vacuuming are all activities that tally up to help your health over the long term.
Do Some Curls with the Campbell's
"Grab a few soup cans or water jugs and do some resistance training (e.g., bicep curls) while you're watching your favorite show." Of course, actual weights also work. Just a few minutes of resistance a day will burn calories and build muscle.
Work It during Commercials
McGuire suggests jumping off the couch "at each commercial break to do a few jumping jacks and push-ups – or even to put away some laundry." These little activities all matter when it comes to cardiorespiratory health.
Unleash Your Inner Animal
To limber up and build muscle, "drop to the floor and do 3 cat/cow stretches and a down dog at least once a day," says DeVito. These can be done at home or even in the office if you have a moment alone.
Rock out to the Wiggles
McGuire suggests one more way to get active: jump in and "dance with your young daughter/niece/grand-daughter instead of watching." It probably isn't necessary – or even possible – to keep up with all your kids' shenanigans, but joining in when you can provides a nice little work out. Your kid and your heart will thank you.

Take one rather shy young man – 15yo, 16? – in need of a bit more muscle. 'Slimmer' boy pix to open with. There's quite a few of them here at the centre despite European schools all being back in session – I guess not every country has the same rigorous rules about term-time vacations as our UK does! He ventures into the 'family-side' gym in loose-fitting trackies – the temperature here already 25C, but he is obviously conscious of being a bit skinny. He nervously toys inexpertly with some dumbbells, which attracts my attention through the office window. At this point, no-one else is in the gym, so he fingers several pieces of apparatus thoughtfully. This is a boy who desperately wants to get into weights and training, but doesn't know where to begin. And I don't want to scare him off.
I'm wondering whether he will understand English – you never know, here. Still mainly a Russian, eastern European and Scandie clientele. At that point two rather brash guys enter, talking loudly in – I think – Polish. I've seen them earlier with two very tanned girls, so they are probably soaking up the sun. These guys are already shirtless: I sense that the first boy is intimidated and he makes for the exit. Time to make my move.
'Can I help you with some easy exercises?' He looks alarmed, but doesn't say 'Nyet'. I point to the pull-down machine and set him up with a very light weight, which he pulls down with no effort at all. I tell him he's stronger than I expected, and increase the weight. I do a few reps and make it look a bit harder than it actually is. He relaxes, so I ask if he's new to weights. 'Da'. He warms to his task – literally – so I suggest he takes his sweat top off. Underneath – a tee-shirt and a vest. No wonder he's hot. He looks across at the other two guys, sweating in just their briefs. I, inevitably since I am in the gym, am just wearing my 'staff' shorts. He removes the tee as well, and I can see that he is not so spindly as he seems to think he is.
Several more people arrive, including a couple of girls in bikini-style workout gear. That seems to bother him, but I keep him occupied. The two sweaty guys leave. I tell him he's doing really well – how about trying some dumbbell exercises now? Shoulder press with me supporting behind him – that's my job here, after all. I suggest he gets rid of the vest so he can watch his muscles working and his 'form' in the mirrors. Reluctantly, he does.
Another slim young man arrives. He's been a couple of times before but is also new to weights I think. He walks over and asks in awkward English if he can join in to get the benefit of the (alleged) professional advice I'm giving the first guy. The first guy is now confident enough not to object – in fact, they shake hands and exchange a few words in whatever language it is – I later discover that it is actually Bulgarian. Second guy's shirt comes off straight away, maybe inspired by the first. Or by me, even.
Fast-forward four days. The two are inseparable. In the gym they arrive shirtless and in just briefs. They go from gym to sauna, sauna to pool, pool to restaurant. They go together on the bus shuttle to the beach. Sun tans developing nicely.
I hear that they live just 30km apart and have vowed to join the same gym for regular sessions together. They're not school students, as it turns out: one is about to begin work as a motor mechanic, the other is looking for work. They're happy, I'm happy. Job done. More happy lifters in the world! And maybe the motor garage has room for another employee.
As I often say, 'lifting' is so much more fun with a friend, or two…
Once you've developed that little bit of extra strength, then you and your new-found friend(s) can try things together (pity we can't see more of the handstand here):
…and hopefully you won't need to read a book of instructions while doing 'tricks' together…
…but, if you do want to read between 'sets' or tricks, here are some suggestions:
The first three cover gay love, a love of acrobatics, circus adventures and other misadventures: the final one is a new story and coming soon: – cast out from his community, a gay native American boy and his spirit guide embark on a life-changing journey. Pre-order from your bookseller by quoting ISBN 978-1-784653-23-1 [Vanguard Press]).
Now back to the 'lifters' pictures! And the results of just lifting your own bodyweight can be pretty dramatic – and draw in the crowds, too:
Even those who for some reason train in a shirt are still happy to lift it for a good picture:
As for this final guy for today – c'mon – a bit higher, please…
…nice smooth bicep, though!

1086 more women than men to vote
THE Southern Downs electoral roll closed with 12,419 registered female voters, which is 1086 more than the men.
With such a difference in gender numbers it is natural to assume the ladies might have an influence but Southern Downs candidates and voters are not convinced.
Councillor candidate Julie Kawano said the numbers could have an impact.
"Females tend to identify easier with other females just like males do with other males," Mrs Kawano said.
"Having access to parent rooms and sanitary bins in council bathrooms are issues I have had women approach me about because they are something they deal with every day."
Mayoral candidate Phillip Buddle expressed a similar voting-trend theory to Mrs Kawano.
"I believe that to an extent it will be in the psyche," he said.
"If you are female you might feel inclined to vote for other females but I couldn't be sure about the effect.
"I find that most women have many of the same concerns as men, such as road conditions and rate prices.
"In a representative role you have to look past all boundaries to keep the voters and the issues equal."
Stanthorpe voter and mum-of-three Sandra Ellis said she did not think the extra female voters would drastically alter the election outcome. "I think most of the time women tend to have the same problems as men, like wanting better roads, rate prices and other general things," Mrs Ellis said.
"Then you have families made up of men and women who tend to want the same things as well, so I don't think 1000 extra women will have much of an effect."

Bruce Lee memorabilia defeats all estimates at Dynasty Auctions sale
Bruce Lee memorabilia defeats all estimates at Dynasty Auctions sale
The auction was led by a $76,850 fur coat from a film Lee never completed and a signed letter
Bruce Lee's immense charisma continues to have a powerful effect on collectors from beyond the grave, and that was shown once more this weekend (August 6) as a signed letter and fur coat related to the star beat their estimates in a sale held by Dynasty Auctions in Hong Kong.
Bruce Lee fights as Kato in The Green Hornet
The letter, signed "Bruce", was written in 1966 to friend Taky Kimura. It states that Lee was "looking forward for the TV series of 'Green Hornet' to come out so that Gung Fu will catch on".
The Green Hornet was a US television series starring Lee. It ran for just one season between 1966 and 1967 but was instrumental in shooting Lee to international stardom.
No doubt interest in the piece was encouraged by the recent Green Hornet film, despite the Seth Rogen/Jay Lou version not being in quite the same style as the original series. The letter fetched HK$400,000 (US$51,233) beating a HK$200,000-300,000 estimate.
This is not the only piece of Bruce Lee's writings on the market at the moment. Collectors of his memorabilia will be keen to get their hands on his personal martial arts booklet which is currently up for sale.
A little cumbersome for Kung Fu - Bruce Lee's fur coat
The letter was not the top piece of Lee memorabilia in the sale however. That honour went to a dark blue fur-lined Chinese-styled long jacket created and made for Bruce Lee's upcoming movie 'name unknown' he was to make after Enter the Dragon.
(The auctioneer leaves the film description as 'name unknown' - Lee was working on Game of Death when he died.)
Estimated at just HK$100,000-150,000 (up to US$19,200), it quadrupled this to achieve HK$600,000 (US$76,850).

thanks for the comments.
I have one question. I am going to use them as a broker for an VPS solution provided by 4Xsolutions. It is a trade copier and was wondering if anybod has used them for something like this. I would want my trades to execute as soon as the master executes them. Also, any opinions on their spreads.. they say they are dynamic but dont understand what they mean by that..
any input is appreciated..
thank you

Hello Hafizesh,
when a broker has dynamic spreads so they will offer you very tight spreads they will be different from one second to another. because the broker sends your order to the market where it will be buyed.
There are brokers outside with fixed spreads but they will be mostly higher than the variable spreads.
So EXNESS is a broker with variable and tight spreads.
If you have a functionating strategy so test it on an demosystem at exness. Every Broker will be different!

Sometime in Sep/Oct last year, Exness experienced DDOS attack... then today March 6, 2012 their server went kaput for 6-7 hours...all around the world affected but since i have accs with other brokers, I observed that only exness was affected by this server down.
I have closed and withdrawn all my accs with exness n hunting for somemore alternative brokers.

text: seabass Posted October 2, 2006 10 Gallon Star Grass Lagoon October 1, 2006 Seagrass tanks are starting to become trendy and I am interested in trying something a little different from my other marine setups. I have just recently started researching planted aquariums. I have virtually no experience with saltwater plants and very limited experience with a few hardy freshwater plants, so this will be a learning experience for me. I figure that the experience that I gain during this contest might translate into a neat looking seagrass refugium someday (a bit different than the more typical ball of Chaeto). Also, I'm currently in need of a decent quarantine tank (as I plan to replace my Yellow Clown Goby); and this tank should fit that need well. My planned custom setup is very close to the stock contest requirements (with the exception of using daylight/daylight spectrum bulbs versus daylight/actinic, and using two alternating powerheads versus one that is constantly on). While these modifications are relatively minor, I feel that both of them will be positive additions to my little seagrass lagoon. I plan on performing a maintenance routine that is similar to my other reef tanks (utilizing water changes to: balance water chemistry, supplement beneficial elements that were consumed, and dilute unwanted/excess elements). However, unlike my reef tanks, I will pay particular attention so that the tank's nutrient levels are not entirely depleted (possibly testing the seagrass refugium idea by using water changed out from my 40gal display). I plan on providing a hospitable (but not deep) substrate. In addition, since I hope to avoid adding additional fertilizer, I will likely encourage NO3 (nitrate) production, especially as the grass becomes more established. This would be a 180° change from trying to reduce the production of NO3 in my other reef tanks. However, the growth of the seagrass will likely be limited more by CO2 (carbon dioxide) and light. CO2 system Since increasing CO2 lowers pH, I might not supplement CO2 (as managing pH would likely become more difficult). However, because the grasses will likely consume CO2 faster than it will be naturally replenished, I am going to leave this option open. Lighting From what I have read, the 20" (40W) Current compact fluorescent fixture should be adequate to keep most varieties of seagrass in a standard 10-gallon tank. I will replace the standard (SmartPaq Daylight 10000ºK/Actinic 460nm 40W) bulb with a SunPaq Dual Daylight 6700°K/10000°K 40W bulb to provide a more suitable light spectrum for the seagrass. Substrate In order to provide enough room for seagrass roots and rhizomes (often located in less oxygenated levels of the substrate), deep sand beds are typically recommended. However, by keeping seagrass with relatively shorter roots, I am hoping that this will be unnecessary (as I plan to keep the sand bed closer to 2"). Since I also hope to avoid adding additional fertilizer, I have decided to amend the Nature's Ocean Bio-Activ Live Aragonite Reef Sand (0.5 - 1.7 mm Diameter Grain Size) with Refugium Mineral Mud. Filtration I plan on using a Penguin BIO-Wheel 150 HOB filter for filtration and surface flow. I also purchased 3lbs of cured live rock from a LFS in the area. That's not a lot of rock (just a third of a pound per gallon), but I will be keeping a relatively light bio-load. My thought is that the grasses will consume enough nitrates that I can start utilizing more aerobic bio-filtration (possibly from installing the bio-wheel and/or adding bio-balls to the HOB filter). I don't currently plan on using a skimmer; however, this could change in order to: assist with gas exchange, increase O2 (oxygen), correct pH problems, reduce dissolved organics, and/or slow NO3 production. Additional water flow My research indicated that seagrasses prefer high flow. Two Maxi-Jet 600 powerheads (160gph each) alternating by means of a Natural Wave Timer] will supplement the HOB filter's flow (bringing the total maximum flow to 310gph at any one time). Although the wave action is mainly for aesthetics, the motion might possibly assist the plants in utilizing CO2, O2, and other elements. I'm hoping that the Clown Goby, that I plan to keep, doesn't mind the flow (they are known to like SPS, which requires high flow, so I'm hoping that it will be fine). Heating I will be using a 25W Visi-Therm Stealth Heater. I would prefer to keep the temperature between 75° and 78°, but I'm guessing that my lights and pumps will end up dictating the final temperature setting. I usually set my heater to 2° or 3° lower than the tank's peak temperature (during the light cycle). I will likely keep an open top to encourage evaporation for cooling and gas exchange. Tank At 20"x10"x12", the standard AGA 10-gallon tank's height restricts the depth of the sand bed, as well as the height of the plant and coral species. However, it should still make an excellent test bed for keeping Star grass. Plus, a 10-gallon tank is a reasonable size to mimic a potential star grass refugium. Plants Star grass (Halophila engelmannii): This species does not send roots as deep as some other varieties, nor does is grow as tall. I think it looks good too. Fish A Yellow Clown Goby (Gobiodon okinawae): This fish will probably be moved to my 40 gallon breeder after the contest. Coral I plan to stick with Blastomussa merleti growing on the Live Rock. Other Inverts A shrimp, Hermit crabs, snails, feather dusters, and hitchhiker starfish will eventually find a home in my lagoon. Entry photo: Quote Share this post Link to post

(You Can't Have It Both Ways - 016) The next time you consider going fishing, ask yourselves why the worm and the fish squirm when you dig that hook through their tender skin.
PAIN is the answer.
And you would squirm in pain, too, if that was done to you.

No negotiations from me, other than "we should never have joined in the first place".
The issue I have, is that we voted to leave. We didn't vote for arguments or hardship or upset ........... well, I didn't anyway. Can't comment on why other folk voted leave.
I have no issues with the EU in general, but it's the U bit of it that I object to and always have done. Co-operation, trade, free movement of people etc is fine by me. In Europe, but not ruled by Europe is a mantra I can agree with.
It's a small step from European Union to Union of Europe.
Get out whilst we still can. It's going to be difficult I know, but out we should go.
We voted to leave 3 years ago and with very different things on offer from leave campaign than have happened in reality.
People are complaining about "it was over 3 years ago" but Article 50 is a 2 year thing whatever. Add to that delays because the leave campaigners had no idea what they actually wanted so we wasted 6 months whilst leave failed to decide what they wanted and we wasting more time now because leave still can't decide what they want.
And population demographics have changed so your saying "we voted to leave" is not much more valid that me saying "we voted to join".

Distracted driving in Utah is defined as anything that takes the drivers attention off of the road. This includes:
- Texting or using a cell phone
- Reading
- Eating
- Drinking
- Watching a video
- Talking to passengers
- Adjusting the stereo
- Attending to children
Texting and driving in Utah is illegal for drivers of all ages. Furthermore, careless driving is also prohibited, which is when a driver commits a moving violation while being distracted by a hand held cell phone or other distractions as listed above.
- No texting or driving
- No using a handheld cell phone while driving
The texting and driving law in Utah is one of the strictest in the country. It is considered a primary law, so a law enforcement officer can pull a driver over if they see them texting while driving, without committing any other moving violation. The handheld cell phone ban is a secondary law, which means the driver must first commit a moving violation before they can be pulled over.
Fines and penalties
Fine of $750 and up to three months in jail for texting and driving, which is considered a misdemeanor
If there is an injury or death involved, the fine is up to $10,000, up to 15 years in prison, and it is considered a felony
There are some exceptions to the texting and driving law.
Reporting or requesting assistance relating to a safety hazard
Medical emergency
Reporting or requesting assistance relating to a criminal activity
Emergency services personnel or law enforcement officers using their phone while working and within their scope of employment
Utah has strict texting and driving laws, and if caught, drivers can spend time in jail. Furthermore, if drivers are making phone calls while behind the wheel, they must use hands free devices. It is a good idea to put the cell phone away while driving for the safety of those in the vehicle and for the safety of others.

I haven't ever logged or looked at GPS pace data, so take this as you will...
The sections in the really mountainous areas have some really suspect spikes in pace to me, especially when the grade adjusted pace is used (I don't know how accurate that adjusted pace is).
Turn on the GAP in the following run, and there appears to be a pattern. The spikes corresponding to outrageous adjusted paces are all going up steep hills after a steep downhill. However, the The spike in the GAP is not at the valley of the hills though, it's a noticeable amount up the steep hill. That seems like how a vehicle could coast, not a runner in my experience. The runner loses all momentum going back up hills like these after a few steps, not meters up a hill. And the runner's real pace would just drop.
Look at the one below. There's examples everywhere, but most egregiously, the GAP drops to 2:35 per mile going up a 21% grade after going down an 18% grade near the end of the run. But that GAP is ~1/3 up the way of that hill which looks like it would be ~100 meters long. Also note that the actual pace going down the hill is 5:00 to 5:10 per mile and ~5:15 going up the hill. There's no way IMO those paces would be so close together for a runner. Could a world class sprinter could run that fast up such a hill?
Is there any possibility the seemingly erroneous GPS data in the mountains is because of loss of/low signal in the valleys which are then caught back up at higher elevation?
Perhaps someone who frequently runs in places like this could attest to whether or not this is potentially valid?
(I'm not defending RY, because I'm 99.44% certain he cheated frequently in this, and even if this explained part of the seeming anomalies, the total average pace is still inconsistent with what has been observed.)
This definitely not valid. Sorry.

Year 9 Pop Art
Students investigated the work of four major Pop Artists, combining a range of approaches and media to develop their own designs while showing an understanding of each artists' style and visual language. The work is inspired by today's mass-produced objects, popular culture, games, films, logos, flags and food items. The project culminated in a series of life-size figure murals, again incorporating pop images and symbols from the students' own lives. Six students worked on each mural to combine, develop and refine their ideas.
The final image in this slideshow shows a mural painted directly onto the gallery wall. Inspired by the work of Keith Haring, this is an original design developed and completed by two students outside lessons over the course of three weeks.

In Memory of Khaled
Rally organised by African Survival in Hamburg,
Friday, 30th. January 2015.
Khaled Idris Bahray was Eritrean Refugee was murdered in Dresden.
Since then Dresden Police and state persecuter in different statments announced their own stories about his death.
part of their statment:
In memory of KHALED IDRIS BAHRAY – Rights and Safety for Refugees!
Khaled Bahray was killed in Dresden on the 13th January 2015. ASUIHA e.V. expresses, in solidarity with his friends and family, our deep sadness in losing our 20 year old Eritrean brother.
The behaviour of Germany's police force in this case, as in countless past cases, will serve as a distressing reminder of our challenges as African migrants. We therefore will not grieve in silence, but loudly demand safety for all.
Why Trust the Police?
The case of Khaled shows the institutional racism of the German police- who refused to see a dead African migrant with multiple stab wounds as in any way suspicious. This kind of misconduct is not without precedent, with even two African deaths in one day at the hands of the police ttp://www.mdr.de/sachsen/toter-asylbewerber-dresden106.html
OURY JAhLLOH- Burnt alive in a police cell (Dessau, 07/01/2005)
Hands and feet tied to a mattress in a police cell, Oury burnt alive after a fire broke out. The supervising police officer, busy with a phone conversation, ignored cries for help and the fire alarm. Only in later investigations was a lighter conveniently found- not during earlier searches. The charges against the two officers responsible were dropped in 2008 due to lack of evidence.
LAYE-ALAMA CONDE- Tortured and killed in police custody (Bremen, 07/01/2005)
Laye-Alama was forcibly tied to a metal examination stretcher with handcuffs and cable ties as the police doctor gave Conde an emetic and water to vomit out cocaine pellets he was accused of swallowing. This mistreatment led to Conde entering into a coma from which he did not recover. His lungs ran full of water. The charges against the police doctor were dropped!
The police are not following their own rules!
And so ASUIHA e.V. remains committed to exposing and attacking this growing hegemony of institutional racism in Germany in the name of justice, in the name of equality and in the memory of those killed. EQUAL RIGHTS AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
