Do you like paying $60 for the latest videogames? Easy Studios boss Ben Cousens hates that you do it. Criticizing the current price of games as "exploitative", Cousens believes the free-to-play model is superior.
"I can't think of anything more exploitative than gating all of your content behind having to pay someone $60," said the man whose studio is ironically in thrall to EA. "That's a really harsh business model if you think about it objectively. What we do is enable everyone to play the game, and figure out if they like it.
"If they don't like it they can walk away and they don't lose anything."
We make fun of Farmville players, but as I've pointed out before, they're being more money-savvy than you are with their free-to-play models. I'm actually a big fan of free-to-play games in concept -- unfortunately. nobody will take it seriously when most games in that bracket are total crap.
Before major publishers with quality games back up the business model, it will likely never move beyond the types of games we love making fun of, despite the fact they're making mad bank.

Both of the workshops are organised by the Educational Projects Unit within the ESA education office and will take place at ESTEC, Noordwijk, the Netherlands. Teams are expected to send one participant to their five day long workshop. The first of these two events is the 13th ESEO workshop held between the 15th and the 19th of October, followed by the 3rd ESMO workshop planned for the 22nd to the 26th. The main objective, for both workshops, is to work upon and finish documentation being subject for reviews being conducted during the next months.

Celebrating Hubby's Birthday
Just before we welcomed the month of October, we celebrated my husband's birthday.
It was a working day so we just decided to celebrate it together by having dinner at a restaurant after work. His students, meanwhile, gave him a pleasant surprise (my husband teaches Grade 8 at the national high school).
The class gave him a birthday cake and balloons. But it was not only his present advisory class which did this. Those from his past advisory class also gave him balloons and a cake and then they also presented him with a tarpaulin with his photo along with their birthday greetings 🙂
We capped the day by eating dinner at one of the city's recently opened (rebranded) restaurants. The staff overheard us that it was the hubby's birthday and decided to perform a birthday song for him 🙂
We are truly thankful to God for another year of His love, favor and guidance over my husband. We know that His plans for him, for us are always for our good (even if at times, they may not seem so!). And we are also sure that the best is yet to come 🙂

Develop a Powerful Self-introduction in Business Networking Events
Introducing your business and being introduced are necessary parts of networking in all situations, whether it is a specific networking event, a business meeting or a social gathering. Introducing yourself memorably is a skill worth perfecting. Below are some general questions to answer and rules to consider when developing an effective and powerful self introduction. Hope this helps.
- State your name and company:
Consider using only your first name if your last is difficult to pronounce or remember
- Briefly describe your business and how your product or service benefits your customers?
Be concise and brief yet make it enticing enough that your listeners will want to know more.
Focus ONLY on the benefits to your customers not on the features of your company or products/service.
- What do you do for your customers that they may not receive from a competitor?
What makes you and your company unique?
- What type of businesses and clients do you currently work with and which would you like to?
Identify your target and prospective markets
- Your ideal customer would be:
Be specific. You don't know who your listener knows and may be able to put you in contact with.

Vinnie's Vinyl and Vino
Weekly at Thursday, 7:00 PM Central Time (CT) to Thursday, 10:00 PM Central Time (CT)
We continue to blur the line between the county and the city; while you inch a bit closer to your youth. Our good friend and resident audiophile, John Cowling, has assembled one serious turntable rig, and he's setting it up on the stage every Thursday. Bring your favorite vinyl each week and we'll give it a spin. If folks show up sans disc, we'll have plenty of our own to play.
Of course, the unofficial host for these evenings is Vinnie, our intrepid bar dog. So, bring a friend or two, and be ready to show our doggo some love. We'll enjoy some great music and drinks, and maybe even read a few liner notes!

Experience the first and only substrate-free bioluminescent human cell lines capable of continuously and autonomously producing light.
The video below shows 490 BioTech's autobioluminescent cells continuously reporting changes in metabolic activity over a 40-hour period. The easily identified autobioluminescent signal reveals when effects occur, how long they last, and if they are permanent. Non-destructive autobioluminescence allows the 5 samples in this example to replace 12,000 samples using older luciferin-requiring bioluminescent technologies.
490 BioTech develops patent protected light-emitting human cell lines genetically programmed to 'report' on biological events or interactions that affect their metabolic status.
The incorporation of these cell lines into cell culture and small animal preclinical efficacy/toxicity testing models is designed to accelerate the pace of new drug discovery and move drugs more rapidly and more effectively towards Phase I human testing with a reduced overall cost.
490 BioTech's continuously bioluminescent cells are perfect for high throughput applications where the use of a luciferin-requiring cell line would be cost prohibitive or where sample destruction would prevent repetitive data acquisition.
Keep your animals and your IACUC happy by switching to continuously bioluminescent cells. The bioluminescence from 490 BioTech's cell lines can be imaged through tissue, allowing you to perform small animal studies without the repeated needle sticks required from luciferin induced systems.
490 BioTech is proud to provide contract metabolic activity/toxicity services using our proprietary autobioluminescent technology.
Our autobioluminescent human tissue models continuously and non-invasively track metabolic dynamics over prolonged exposure periods to identify both pre- and post-metabolism compound effects. Contact us today to learn how we can put autobioluminescent monitoring to work for you.
Do you have a specialty or proprietary tissue that can benefit from autobioluminescent expression?
We can modify your existing cell lines to produce data continuously without costly and potentially influential substrate addition or sample destruction. We can quickly modify your samples to express an autobioluminescent phenotype and return them to your laboratory for in-house testing at a fraction of the cost of purchasing and maintaining an existing, substrate-requiring cell line.
Our revolutionary new approach to optical imaging provides you with increased data acquisition in both tissues and small animal models. By taking advantage of our continuously light producing human cell lines it has finally become possible to break free from the expensive and error prone introduction of substrate.
Get back to doing what you do best – getting data.
Autobioluminescence outperforms endpoint assays. NIH/NCATS validates 490 BioTech's HEK293 cell line as a high-throughput drug discovery tool.
Making waves in Biotech. 490 BioTech has been recognized as one of the top 5 Highly Promising Companies of 2018 by the Pepperdine Graziadio school of business.
Easier for technicians and less painful for subjects. NC3Rs recognizes autobioluminescence as a preferred method for improving animal welfare by removing the need for repeated luciferin injections.
Putting innovation to work. The introduction of autobioluminescent technology to the marketplace in 2013 was recognized as one of the top 10 most innovative new products of the year.
We have an ever growing consortium of scientists and engineers using our cell lines to advance their innovative R&D objectives.

Every year hazardous waste generators are required to fill out forms describing their activities during the previous year. The forms must then be submitted to the Oregon DEQ.
Hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities are facilities that, because of their specific activities, are required to have a hazardous waste permit for operation. TSDFs permits are complex and stringent. They are primarily issued to facilities specializing in commercial hazardous waste management services.
Universal Waste refers to a specific set of hazardous waste items commonly used and disposed of by businesses and other non-households. Federal and state rules are meant to encourage and streamline management of the following hazardous wastes:
The goal of the universal waste management requirements is to reduce the amount of hazardous waste that ends up in solid waste landfills and that may eventually pollute waterways.
Environmentally sound management of pesticide wastes and empty pesticide containers is in everyone's best interest. Accidental release or indiscriminate discharge of pesticide waste into the environment can harm people and contaminate surface and groundwater. Pesticide-contaminated water poses a hazard to non-target organisms such as plants, beneficial insects, fish and other aquatic life.

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) — Approximately 5 million people in Southern California, Arizona and parts of Mexico were without power Thursday evening after an outage hit the region, reports said.
The blackout started around 4 p.m. local time and could last into Friday, the Associated Press reported, citing a San Diego Gas & Electric Co.
By early evening, crew had begun to restore power to parts of San Diego County, Reuters reported, though many residents were expected to remain without power into Friday.
The outage affected areas as far north as San Clemente, Calif., as far south as northern Baja California state in Mexico, and as far east as Yuma, Ariz., the AP reported.
The outage was a "system issue" and not any sort of sabotage or terrorism, The Wall Street Journal reported. See WSJ.com report on power blackout.
However, reports also said human error was partly to blame, with Reuters quoting a spokesman for Arizona utility APS
The report said flights had been canceled at San Diego International Airport, and schools in the city were closed until Monday.
Two nuclear reactors were also forced to close after the electrical outage, but they posed no danger to the public, the AP reported.

In this warm weather it's important to stay hydrated. Which means you can't go without (reusable) water bottles. Especially when you're out on an adventure!
Single-use plastic bottles
In the build-up to last week's Outdoor Retailer Summer Market, 200+ brands signed up to the Plastic Impact Alliance. Thereby committing to reject single-use plastic bottles at the outdoor tradeshow. Prior to the show LifeStraw, the company specialized in water filter systems, conducted a poll amongst over a 1000 American outdoor enthusiasts regarding the use of bottles.
The results showed that 43% use single-use plastic water bottles during outdoor activities. This made me wonder, what is the best way to stay hydrated on the trail without adding to the pile of waste?
Types of reusable water bottles
There is an overwhelming and rapidly growing variety of reusable bottles, however there are roughly three main options: bottles made from reusable plastic, stainless steel or aluminium.
The Sustainable Citizen wrote a comprehensive article about reusable water bottles and made some recommendations based on human health, environmental friendliness, functionality and sustainability of companies. In case you're like me and have no idea what type of re-usable bottle you're looking for its definitely worth a read.
Their advice is to use a glass bottle. However, this may be problematic for most outdoor activities for obvious reasons. The second best option is to go for a stainless steel bottle. Preferably from a company which takes sustainability seriously and incorporates it throughout their entire business. Like Klean Kanteen, a well-known brand in the outdoor industry and B Corp certified.
My next water bottle
To avoid plastics and the associated chemicals in them all together my next choice of bottle will be a stainless steel one. Especially since the material is very robust. In case you do manage to destroy it its completely recyclable without loss of quality. So, no down-cycling which is the case with (reusable) plastics. In addition, on average stainless steel applications already consist of 60% recycled content.

How do I love the gas companies? Let me count the ways
It's worth checking out: in a clear, easy-to-read manner, GOOD shows how the profit on gas is distributed and outlines the major factors that drive price. What it doesn't cover, however, is the ways that oil-producing companies actually use this money. Unfortunately, this is also the most important aspect of the oil market.
Oil is, perhaps, the most effective tool for wealth consolidation in the history of the world. Whether through technological innovation, conflict, or the luck of the draw, certain areas and people have ended up with large amounts of crude petroleum at their disposal.Using the incredible profits generated by this resource, some have carved cities out of the desert, given massive benefits to their citizens, or funded huge infrastructure projects. On the other hand, some have used oil profits to undermine democracy, wage wars, and fund terrorism. Regardless, the political power that petroleum gives to oil producing countries enables them to buy moral silence from the rest of the world. For example, as an increasingly undemocratic
Ultimately, America's devotion to the sweet flaming nectar of the earth makes it impossible for US leaders to launch any sort of substantive offensive against the people who supplying America's lifeblood. After all, Putin, Chavez, and the House of Saud control the flow of oil into the United States; frankly, any sort of serious attack on their policies might lead to a significant increase in the price of that commodity.
As effective as GOOD Sheet #4 is at outlining the tangible cost of gas, it misses the larger price that America pays for its petroleum addiction. In addition to dollars and cents, petroleum also costs the US its moral leadership, freedom of speech, and sovereignty!

A gentle walk along a river bank, taking in the scenery, fauna and flora has to be a relaxing and rewarding leisure activity. Fancy a stroll? Well you're in luck, because Lostwithiel is not only a great place to visit explore and relax in, but it also has the lovely river Fowey flowing through it. Although there are many places from which to start your walk, Mellingey is the obvious choice if that's where you're staying. Otherwise use the cattle market car park next to the community centre by King George's playing field.
From Mellingey, walk down the drive, turn left at the bottom towards Restormel Castle then within 100m go through the gate on the right into the community field, follow the footpath along the river walking towards the main road bridge to the South. At the hedge exit the field cross the road and into King George's playing field, you can now follow along the river bank and head in direction of the ancient town Bridge.
The town bridge area is lovely, a large green area alongside the bridge has picnic benches and built in BBQ's, always a lovely spot to sit and dream especially at high tide!
The Medieval Bridge stands at the site of the original crossing of the River Fowey. The river was first bridged by the Normans. The bridge was rebuilt in the 13th-14th centuries and has been repaired and kept in use ever since. It has been the scene of many notable and emotional occasions, including the arrival of the Black Prince and his retinue to hold Court at Restormel Castle in 1354, and the dispatch of the defeated Parliamentary army by the angry citizens in 1644.
The foundations of four western arches are buried under North Street. The eastern arches were added as the river changed course. From the bridge its pretty straightforward, just follow the river downstream. Walking along the pavement with the town Parade on your left
From here leave the river side and walk along the parade footpath towards the Duchy palace, one of many lovely artisan, & antique shops within Lostwithiel all well worth a visit. The Duchy palace boasts trading its unique design furnishings and luxury living business within the oldest secular medieval building in the country.
The Duchy Palace, also referred to as the Stannary Palace, was built circa 1265–1300, and part of a large complex of buildings for the Duchy of Cornwall relating to the taxation of the Tin industry. Keep the Palace on your right and head once again towards the river and Coulson park. On your right you will now pass the lovely archway where under the large granite slabs flows the river Cober, which flows beneath Lostwithiel before entering the river Fowey.
Looking to your left you will see you have now rejoined the river Fowey, follow the granite wall as it curves around to the left where some small craft are moored before you pass under the railway bridges for both the china clay trucks taking their cargo to the docks at Fowey and the main line London to Penzance passenger line. The buildings you can see across the river are the Brunel quays houses, homes developed from part of the original carriage works for the Cornwall railway. Thought to be designed by Brunel around 1859 when the railway came through the town and remained in business for over 100 years.
After passing under the relatively low iron bridges you will enter Coulson park, a lovely green open space with some splendid old and well established trees, the park is named after an American property magnate who gave money for the park to be created seemingly as a thank you for the upbringing he received at Lostwithiel in the 1850's.
The river now meanders through the park towards Pill walk, where it runs alongside the footpath and railway line for some 200 metres, as the river and path enter Shirehall Moor and nature reserve.
At Shirehall Moor the valley floor opens out to reveal a wide salt marsh moor. The Moor is an absolute haven for much wildlife especially, Swan's, Mallard ducks Egret and Heron's, if you're really lucky you may see the beautiful Kingfisher and during winter Canadian geese are regular visitors.

The speaker of the United States House of Representatives says a congressman who faces expulsion for ethics violations should resign before representatives vote to remove him. Speaker Dennis Hastert says an expulsion vote for James Traficant of Ohio would be a painful ordeal for all involved.
On Thursday, the House Committee on Standards and Official Conduct said Democratic Congressman James Traficant had committed nine violations of House ethics standards. Next week, the full House could make him only the second congressman since the mid-1800s to be expelled.
House Speaker Dennis Hastert hopes a vote will not be necessary. "And certainly, if he chose to resign, he would probably be better off, but that is up to him," he said.
Mr. Hastert was speaking to reporters Friday at a pork chop picnic for friends and supporters near his hometown in rural Illinois.
In April, a federal court found Congressman Traficant guilty of bribery, tax evasion and racketeering. Prosecutors recommend he serve at least seven years and three months for the conviction. Sentencing is July 30. The congressman says he is a victim of conspiracy, aimed at silencing him for criticizing the government.
Mr. Traficant would be allowed at least 30-minutes to plead his case before the U.S. Congress, before it votes whether to expel him. He has requested eight hours for what he says might be his last speech on the House floor. Mr. Traficant has a reputation for delivering bombastic speeches.
Mr. Hastert said the expulsion vote is a sad but necessary part of upholding the standards of the U.S. House. "If a member of the Congress does not stay under those standards, then he faces the ultimate of expulsion from the House," he said. "It appears that that happened in the Traficant situation, so the Congress has to do what it has to do. I think that is important for all of us to understand. It is probably the most painful thing to sit through as a member."
In 1980, Representative Michael Myers from Pennsylvania was expelled for accepting money from law enforcement officers during an undercover operation. Before that, no one had been expelled from the U.S. Congress since the American Civil War ended in 1865.

Believing ≠ Hoping. Look at what you believe you believe and what you know you know. You don't. You wish and hope and trust. There's a big difference, Sparky.
The lies your being handed are by design. "When distant and unfamiliar and complex things are communicated to great masses of people, the truth suffers a considerable and often a radical distortion. The complex is made over into the simple, the hypothetical into the dogmatic, and the relative into an absolute." Thus spake Walter Lippmann.
It's about perception an awareness. It's about what you think you know. And what those who know think. You think? We're a country whose history is immersed in propaganda. Hedges provides this splendid piece.
In order to bring America into an unpopular war, Woodrow Wilson created the first system of modern mass-propaganda—the Creel Committee. It drew on "crowd psychology", pioneered by Gustave Le Bon, Wilfred Trotter, Sigmund Freud and others, suggesting that people were not moved by appeals to reason but by emotional manipulation—what Walter Lippmann called "manufacturing consent". Debs ended up in prison [for opposing the war] and after the war many of these people went off to Madison Avenue to work for corporations. They upended traditional American values of thrift and self-effacement and replaced them with the cult of the self, hedonism and consumption presented as an inner compulsion. [Christopher Hedges]

What first drew my attention to this article was its title and video. I thought the ground giving way sounded pretty serious. The video shows a group of full size, adult trees slowly moving towards the sink hole and then quickly being sucked down into the water. I had a hard time believe what I was seeing. So I think this article does a great job of catching the readers attention right away.
I thought the lead for the story was okay. It almost gave me a little too much in formation. The title of the article was more interesting to me than the actual lead paragraph. I think the rest article though was a good balance of information and personal interest. The article described the situation with the sink hole in Louisiana. Then it gave different opinions from local residents. Some of them are leaving the area and some of them are waiting it out. The majority however, is upset with the way the authorities are handling the situation. It doesn't seem like a major crisis to them.
The article contained a lot of factual information about the situation. I think this information is probably necessary but I don't think the article needed to take up two pages. I felt like it was getting a bit long at times. I was confused by some of the information. The article mentioned a well breaking and causing a sinkhole, which keeps growing. I believe that is the same sinkhole in the video but the article also mentioned past events that were similar. A little clarification in this are would be good I think.
I liked the quotes that were used in this article. I thought they helped the story move on and they were supported. I am interested to find out what happens with this situation at the end of the article.

Growth Trends for Related Jobs
A letter of request is a letter in which one person asks another person or group of people to grant a specific demand or respond to an inquiry or appeal. Request letters should be brief, polite and to the point.
Most often used in business situations, such letters can be used for any number of circumstances, including asking for a raise, requesting an interview, soliciting donations and requesting a performance review.
When drafting a letter of request, it's important to include all pertinent information up front. Be concise but straightforward, including all necessary details. For example, if requesting an interview for an article or similar project, note why you chose this person, where the interview will appear, how you're proposing to conduct the interview (via email, phone call, in person and so forth), how long it might take, and when you're suggesting it take place. You're aiming for the person who receives the letter to say "yes," not to ask follow-up questions you could have addressed in your initial contact.
Though letters of request can vary widely depending on multiple factors (such as how well the writer knows the recipient and the scope of the request), they should all include the following: your full contact information, supporting documentation (if applicable), a clear and succinct explanation of your request, and a deadline for response or other action.

*October 20 - 26
Prepare to Meet Thy God
THIS WEEK, AMOS ISN'T GOING TO WIN any reward for tact, for subtlety, or courtesy. He starts by scolding the women of Israelcalling them "cows," the "kine" of Bashan, because they pushed their husbands to oppress others for their own benefit. Bashan was a pastureland east of the Jordan that symbolized the oppressors' wives grazing on the luxuries they had come to expect. These lovers of material goods would be among the first to be torn away from their luxuries and led captive. (See Amos 4:1-3.)
Five punishments are then outlined as God's attempt to lead Israel to repentance. But these warnings fail to persuade the people, who refuse to heed the words of the prophet. Because they would not repent, they would have to meet their God and His judgment. Yet it's not only the unrepentant Israelites who faced and will face that judgment; one day an unrepentant world will, as well.
THE WEEK AT A GLANCE: What sins were specifically mentioned as bringing judgment upon Israel? What is it about God that makes Him unable to tolerate or accept sin? What is repentance, and how did it fit into Israel's situation? These, and other questions, are looked at this week. As you study, apply the principles and issues to our world today, to our Church, and, most importantly, to ourselves.
MEMORY TEXT: "Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: and because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel" (Amos 4:12).
*(Please study this week's lesson to prepare for Sabbath, October 27.)
Sunday October 21
"Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink" (Amos 4:1).
Notice the sin that the Lord points out as particularly offensive. These women, unflatteringly referred to as "cows," have been oppressing the poor. Here, again, as seen throughout Scripture, the Lord speaks explicitly against economic oppression. Exactly what they were doing, the text doesn't say, though "this may allude to the violence and fraud these extravagant women forced, so to speak, upon their husbands in order to secure means for luxury and debauchery."The SDA Bible Commentary, vol. 4, p. 966. Whatever the details, the point is the same: These women have been involved in taking advantage of the poor; more than likely, too, these women did it for their own personal gain. And it's clear that, unless they seek the Lord, they will face a dire punishment for this sin.
Why are those who oppress the poor singled out for condemnation in the Bible? Why is this sin deemed so bad? (See also Matt. 25:35-40.)
Linked with this idea of oppression is greed and love of money (1 Tim. 6:10). Often, those with a lot of means will use those means to acquire more, even at the expense of those who have little or nothing. This seems to be the case in the book of Amos with these women, who are encouraging their husbands to increase their wealth and luxurious living. Though the Bible certainly isn't against those who have money, it clearly warns against those who oppress and cheat, especially the poor, in order to get it.
The desire for money or wealth or luxury isn't just a problem with the rich. Even the poor can make money an idol, something they worship more than God. Whoever we are, whatever our station in this life, if we are Christians, our real treasure should be in heaven. Read Matthew 19:21. What is Jesus talking about here? How could it apply to this particular situation in Amos?
|In Mark 4:19, Jesus, in the parable of the sower, used an interesting phrase, "the deceitfulness of riches." How can riches be deceitful? What was Jesus talking about? Notice the context in which He used it. Though we might not be like the "cows of Bashan," all of us need to look at our lives and ask ourselves, Just what is our relationship to wealth, or even the desire for wealth? Is it something that we have under control, or is it controlling us?
"The Lord God has sworn by His holiness" (Amos 4:2, NKJV).
What does it mean that God has "sworn by His holiness" to punish these people? What is it about God's holiness that would bring punishment? Or is there something about His holiness itself that demands punishment?
Obviously, God refuses to accept sin, in any manner. Some have even speculated that He can't (as opposed to won't) accept sin, that His perfectly holy nature couldn't allow it. Others have said that God's holiness makes the punishment of sin inevitable. Whatever that phrase ultimately means, it's clear that God intends to punish those who have committed these terrible sins and who refuse to repent.
What do the following texts tell us about the nature of God?
"Thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy" (Isa. 57:15). "God is light, and in him is no darkness at all" (1 John 1:5). "I am the Lord your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy" (Lev. 11:44). "And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory" (Isa. 6:3). "Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy" (Ps. 99:9). "Ye cannot serve the Lord: for he is an holy God" (Josh. 24:19). "Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel" (2 Kings 19:22). "I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp. O thou Holy One of Israel" (Ps. 71:22). "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come" (Rev. 4:8).
|God has "sworn by His Holiness" (NKJV) that He would punish Israel for its sins. What does Amos 4:2 say, considering the fearful iniquity that exists in the world today, about impending judgment? Because none of us is innocent, because none of us ourselves has the holiness needed to satisfy a perfectly holy God, the Cross must become the focal point of our lives. In this context, that of a holy God refusing to accept unholiness, explain why the Cross and the Cross alone offers us the only hope to being able to stand before this holy God in judgment.
God, through Amos, is using every device possible to catch the Israelites' attention in order to make sure they understand His warnings. In verses 4 and 5 He resorts to irony, calling upon the people to come to Bethel and Gilgal, headquarters for idolatry, in order to show their zeal for their false worship.
What would be the inevitable results of their apostasy? Hos. 9:17.
The prophet Hosea often referred to Ephraim, a leader in apostasy among the tribes of Israel, as a symbol of the apostate nation. Israel is unable to discern the disastrous outcome of its evil course; the ten tribes were soon to be "wanderers among the nations."
|"Through the man of God that had appeared before the altar at Bethel,
through Elijah and Elisha, through Amos and Hosea, the Lord had repeatedly
set before the ten tribes the evils of disobedience. But notwithstanding
reproof and entreaty, Israel had sunk lower and still lower in apostasy.
'Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer,' the Lord declared; 'My people
are bent to backsliding from Me.'
"There were times when the judgments of Heaven fell very heavily on the rebellious people. 'I hewed them by the prophets,' God declared; 'I have slain them by the words of My mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth. For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against Me.' Hosea 6:5-7."Prophets and Kings, p. 281.
|Focus on that statement made at the end of this Ellen White quote, where the Lord through Hosea says, "I desired mercy, and not sacrifice." What does that mean? What does it say about the real problem with Israel? Was it just that their worship was false, or was it how they treated others? In fact, could one argue that the false worship had a lot to do with how they treated others? At the same time, we should ask ourselves, Can we have correct worship and yet not show mercy?
"Yet have ye not returned unto me" (Amos 4:6, 8, 9, 10, 11).
List below the five punishments God warns about in verses 6-11:
1. __________________________________________________________________________________
2. __________________________________________________________________________________
3. __________________________________________________________________________________
4. __________________________________________________________________________________
5. __________________________________________________________________________
The saddest thing about these verses is not so much the terrible punishments that fall upon Israel but her constant refusal to learn from them. The key phrase appears each time: "Yet have ye not returned unto me." Thus, what this statement says is that these punishments all had the same purpose, and that was to get Israel to turn away from sin and come back to the Lord.
The word used in all these verses for "return" comes from a common Hebrew word that also means "repentance." The root shuv is the basis for the word Teshuvah (literally "return"), commonly understood as "repentance." In Jewish thinking, teshuvah is so fundamental to human life that it was considered one of the seven things that God created even before God created the world. And though Christians don't take it that far, repentance is a key in the Christian life. In each of these places in Amos where the Lord said, "Yet have ye not returned unto me," if one replaces the last few words with teshuvah, the verses would read, "Yet have ye not repented."
Look up these verses in the New Testament that talk about repentance: Mark 2:17; Luke 15:7; Acts 20:1, 21; Romans 2:4; Hebrews 6:1; Revelation 3:19; 2:21. In each case, see how the idea of a return to God makes sense in the immediate context. How does this concept of return help us understand repentance?
|If the idea of repentance includes the notion of a return to God, how does Christ fit into the equation? In other words, we are sinners, separated from a holy God because of our sin. What was it about Jesus, about His life and death, that paved the way so that we can indeed return to God?
"I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord. Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: and because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel" (Amos 4:11, 12).
If Scripture is clear on any teaching, it's clear on this: There will be a judgment. It's hard to imagine how a God who, time and again refers to Himself as just (Deut. 32:4; Isa. 45:21; Jer. 23:5), will not execute judgment at the end of the age. Too much sin, too much iniquity, too much evil has been wrought upon the earth for a God of justice not to, at some point and in some manner, manifest that justice. Indeed, how could a just God be God and not execute His justice?
Israel was told to "prepare to meet" her God (Amos 4:12). Looking at the immediate context of that verse, what was the Lord saying to the nation? Did those words express hope, or was He basically telling them "It's too late, you will reap what you have sown"? If the latter, what does it say about there being a point where God Himself says, "Enough is enough"? (See also Dan. 12:1; Rev. 22:11.)
However much God, through Christ, has revealed His saving love to us; however much Heaven has expended to bring salvation to humanityGod never forces the will. People are given free choice regarding the most crucial decision of their lives: Will they or will they not serve God with faithfulness, repentance, and obedience? All other choices fade into insignificance in contrast to this one. And sooner or later our choices are sealed forever. This is what's known in Adventist vernacular as "the close of probation."
One of the greatest mysteries in Scripture deals with the mercy and justice of a merciful and just God. Though we don't know the details, we do know that God will, with mercy and justice, execute judgment at the end of the age. This is both an assurance to us and also a warning. How can God be both just and merciful at the same time? What can we learn, today, thousands of years removed from these events in Amos, that can help us not make the same mistakes as Israel?
FURTHER STUDY: Read the following, noting how Israel's close of probation is related to the final close of probation: "The closing years of the ill-fated kingdom of Israel were marked with violence and bloodshed such as had never been witnessed even in the worst periods of strife and unrest under the house of Ahab. For two centuries and more the rulers of the ten tribes had been sowing the wind; now they were reaping the whirlwind. King after king was assassinated to make way for others ambitious to rule.
Every principle of justice was set aside; those who should have stood before the nations of earth as the depositaries of divine grace, 'dealt treacherously against the Lord' and with one another."Prophets and Kings, p. 279.
Only Two Classes. "The scene transacted in Jerusalem at the betrayal and rejection of Christ represents the scene which will take place in the future history of the world, when Christ is finally rejected. The religious world will take sides with the first great rebel, and will reject the message of mercy in regard to the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. . . ."Ellen G. White Comments, The SDA Bible Commentary, vol. 5, p. 93 (22, 23 . . . A Representative Scene). "God has a controversy with the world and with the professed Christians who accept the fallacies of the great apostate, who are prepared to suit every class in the Christian world, and who discard the law of God."Manuscript 40, 1897.
SUMMARY: Through the prophets, Israel had been amply warned to "return to God." She refused. Judgment came. It's that simple.
Charlotte Ishkanian
Johannes Boethe relaxed as he drove toward his home in South Africa. He had a good job, a nice home, everything he wanted. His future looked glorious.
Suddenly a minibus turned into his lane and hit his car, sending it careening off the road. The minibus hit another vehicle before rolling into a ditch. Johannes was found unconscious but alive. Some people in the minibus were not so lucky. The bus driver had fled.
Johannes awoke in the hospital with extensive injuries to his neck and back, a broken leg, and several broken ribs. Marius, the man from the other car the bus had hit, visited Johannes in the hospital, but he was in too much pain to talk.
Johannes remained hospitalized for two months. The police blamed him for the accident. He lost his job; he had to sell his house and move into a small apartment. Johannes spent much of the next year in the hospital. His family struggled to survive on his meager disability pension. Life looked grim.
Johannes had a lot of time to think while he lay in bed. One day he found a Bible and began reading it. He saw how far he had wandered from God and began searching for the way back.
A friend invited the couple to some religious seminars. Johannes went, and before the meetings ended, he gave his life to Christ and decided to become an Adventist. But his wife was not so sure.
One evening a man walked up to Johannes and introduced himself as Marius, the man who had been involved in the minibus accident. Marius assured Johannes that he could prove that the minibus driver had caused the accident, and for the first time in three years Johannes felt a flicker of hope.
Meanwhile, Johannes's wife saw the changes in her husband's life. He had stopped drinking and smoking and no longer seemed depressed. She began to attend church with him and has since been baptized.
"You could say that Marius and I met by accident," Johannes says. "But God brought us together as friends and brothers."

This guest post was written for us by Cynthia Lieberman, the Co-founder of CyberWise.org CyberWise have recently paired up with us to create some fantastic Digital Citizenship resources, and Cynthia is here to tell us more about the inspiration behind them:
"What I hear, I forget;
What I see, I remember;
What I do, I understand." – Old Chinese proverb
They say a picture is worth a thousand words.
Never has this maxim been more true. People of all ages are struggling with information overload in epic proportions, and that's why visual tools and apps that relay info in a fast, digestible and easy format– like YouTube, Instagram and Snapchat –are on the rise.
Visual Media is the New Black
When information pairs concepts with meaningful images, it allows us to explain, break down or broaden ideas much easier a spoken word or text does alone. That's why visual media is the new black in education, and its use is growing in demand and popularity at an amazing pace.
Recent studies confirm that using multi-media visuals in e-learning can help improve retention and recall in both youth and adults. In fact, one study by ChangingMinds.org found that after just three days of testing, "a user retained only 10-20 percent of written or spoken information but almost 65 percent of visual information." Using interactive visual tools is particularly important for teachers who want to reach and teach kids about digital citizenship, online privacy, cyberbullying, online ethics and more.
Shared Knowledge is Power
Back in the day we were told that "knowledge is power," but to students today, "shared knowledge" is power.
Remember those geography stand-up tri-folds, dinosaur dioramas, or poster collages you had to make with markers, news clippings and glue? There were no computers, no email or Internet then to help you demonstrate your depth of knowledge to people outside of your classroom such as family, potential employers or college admission officers.
Today's youth don't have to rely on poster board and glue to demonstrate their knowledge. Kids are now using multimedia narratives for self-expression; second graders are learning how to write computer programming code to tell multimedia stories, and iPads and tablets are becoming the norm for creating and sharing projects in today's 21st century classroom.
Furthermore, students consider themselves part of an open source and cultural collective that constantly communicates with others wherever they go. To them, the more they know and share, the more powerful their status becomes.
Incorporating interactive media into a classroom curriculum can help enhance a student's ability to retain what they learn while incorporating new technologies that result in deeper, richer messaging. That's why CyberWise is thrilled to be joining forces with a powerful interactive learning tool, Glogster EDU, that helps educators take advantage of the powerful impact multimedia learning can have on students.
Information Literacy and Digital Life Skills – Case Study
Eileen Doherty, a 4th Grade teacher in Watertown, MA, created an excellent "State Report" project for her class, and it is just one of our favorite Glogster examples. Rather than explain to you in writing, why don't you just Watch the Video? Chances are you will not only enjoy it, but will retain the information longer and better!
CyberWise Partners with Glogster
Cyberwise has just joined forces with Glogster EDU as brand ambassadors and content providers through their Glogster GATE program. The GATE program is comprised of a group of key influencers and reliable representatives who promote Glogster using their own unique expertise. Cyberwise will be contributing digital citizenship and life skills resources, starting with top tips on online privacy as well as an in-depth look at the Cyber Civics curriculum for educators, which pushes good citizenship and digital life skills firmly into the 21st Century. The Cyberwise glogs will serve as an ideal starting point for parents and teachers who are committed to giving learners the support they need as they discover the power of the Internet. Cyberwise will continue to regularly roll out glogs that will help educators teach kids about digital citizenship, cybersafety, reputation, privacy and more.

Great Britain's men lost 83-71 to Poland in their first ever European Championship final at Under-20 level in Pitesti, Romania on Sunday.
Doug Leichner's side had already secured promotion to Division A by making it to the final.
But their dreams of an unbeaten summer programme were dashed as the Poles spoilt the party behind a dominant second half display.
Devon Van Oostrum led GB once again with 29 points but his team struggled to find their range, shooting just 32 per cent from the field.
Despite that, they trailed by just 44-42 at the half.
But that is when Grzegorz Grochowski and Przemyslaw Karnowski really took over, the former going for 23 points including a dagger three, to stretch the lead to 18 in the fourth quarter while the latter pulled down 16 rebounds to go with 13 points.
The Brits therefore had to settle for second place but their primary objective, promotion, was attained and they will leave Romania safe I the knowledge that they will get another crack at Poland in Division A.
Hungary joined GB and Poland in winning promotion from Division B after they beat Belgium 70-69 in the third-place play-off. (Joe Hewison)
Semi win
It came after GB defeating Hungary 70-61 on Saturday in Romania in the semis.
Devon van Oostrum had a game-high 22 points for Britain, who were 34-22 ahead in the second quarter before the Hungarians fought back to lead 51-49 headed into the fourth period.
But a 14-0 run demolished their hopes as GB surged clear.
"It wasn't pretty but we found a way to get the win," said forward Grant Mackay.
Poland defeated Belgium 57-46 to advance.
Dutch ousted
GB breezed past the Netherlands 95-57 in their quarter-final.
Devon van Oostrum, continuing his personal tour de force in Romania, had a game-high 34 points, as GB led from start to finish.
"In the beginning it was close, then we established our defence and got some of the looks that we were used to, rebounding, deflections, getting out and running," said GB coach Doug Leichner. "But to Holland's credit, they put up a fight and made us really play hard."
Britain, still unbeaten in the tournament, were 25-17 clear after the opening quarter but stretched their cushion with a 6-0 run that took them 48-29 in front at half-time.
And a further 16-4 burst killed off the Dutch hopes, with John Stewart adding 15 points in a comfortable victory with GB shooting almost 63% from the field.
The Hungarians, who lost 65-60 when they played Leichner's side in the second round, beat the Swiss 71-64 on Friday evening.
The other semi sees Poland take on Belgium. The top three finishers earn promotion to Division A.

Over 20 years ago Bill Gates published the article "Content Is King" wherein he predicted that:
"In the long run, advertising is promising. An advantage of interactive advertising is that an initial message needs only to attract attention rather than convey much information. A user can click on the ad to get additional information-and an advertiser can measure whether people are doing so… Those who succeed will propel the Internet forward as a marketplace of ideas, experiences, and products-a marketplace of content."
How does this wise prophecy apply to current day marketers? How do we determine if and how content should live and for how long?
Yes, content rules, but it only rules as long as it serves and gets results, so long as it adds value. This is why it is vital to have meaningful and useful content – content that provides information and also entertains -- so it will serve long and make its owners prosper.
Here are Ten Key Factors to Consider as You Strategize Content:

Water access is key to the capacity and quality of a garden. But public water isn't always available. Even heavy rainfall areas like Portland are predicted to exceed supply eventually. Installing a water reclamation system is far less daunting than it sounds, and can deliver a year-round water supply for happy gardening.
Chances are your property already has some parts of a water reclamation system. A rooftop can potentially capture thousands of gallons of water per year - more than enough to maintain a stunning garden. Click here to use a rainfall calculator and find out how much water you are missing out on without a water reclamation system – even in an arid region.
The most important component, after the roof, is the gutter, which runs along the eves of the house. Gutters utilize downspouts to channel roof water into storm drains. Alternatively, downspouts can divert water to a rain barrel, which usually has about a 70 gallon capacity. A rain barrel at each corner of the house can reclaim lots of water for future use.
Rain chains are an aesthetic alternative to conventional downspouts, but every bit as functional for water reclamation. The difference is that rain chains offer a variety of styles to fit any taste. Rain chains consist of a series of tiny cups, funnels, or ornamental sculptures that convey rain in tiny waterfalls to a rain barrel, basin, saucer or pebbled area. Designing a garden with rain chains as part of a reclamation system can transform it from ordinary to ornamental.
Using rain chains with rain barrels or other receptacles can afford you an opportunity to create a "rain garden". Rain gardens utilize plants that absorb excess moisture that gathers around the source. Some great rain garden candidates include Sugar Maple, Indigo Bush, Red Chokeberry, and a variety of lush ferns.
Rain garden or not, runoff is still likely to occur. Make sure to create natural irrigation systems by altering terrain levels to channel water to plants further from the source. Rain barrels can be used with soaker hoses to distribute water to drier areas, like succulent or less-thirsty flower beds, without relying on pumps. Incorporate decorative sloped retaining walls, planted with water-loving plants, to help reduce storm drain runoff.
A water reclamation system combining rain chains, rain barrels and varied terrain for irrigation not only saves money on bills, it assures a consistent water supply. It also keeps plants happy and results in a unique landscape; a mini ecosystem that reflects the surrounding environment. To friends and neighbors, though, it just looks beautiful.

Two-time former World champion Fernando Alonso believes that a new era in Formula One will begin in Australia this weekend.
With a few regulations changes and a new tyre manufacturer for 2011, the emphasis has been to improve the event for the spectators at the track and the world wide Television audiences.
While all the teams have completed hundreds of miles of testing with their new cars (a part from Hispania of course), one of the buzz words for this weekend will be 'unpredictable'.
How the cars will perform against each other is always an intriguing aspect of the sport at this time of the year, but this pre-season is different to any other.
While all the teams and drivers know how the new rear wing works in principle, in reality, no-one knows how it will work as an overtaking aid when it comes to the race.
The re-introduction of KERS, some teams devices are better than others, some teams have struggled with reliability, what will happen when race day finally arrives?
The tyres, deliberately built not to last to force teams into two, three or even four stops, bringing tyre strategy back to Formula One.
'for sure there is a new way of doing the races in terms of strategy, so a new Formula 1 starts here in Melbourne in terms of strategy that we need to learn from here to keep for the coming races,' Alonso said at Thursday press conference.
Alonso now believes that the added variables to an F1 race for the 2011 season will mean that there will be less emphasis on qualifying, as the events on the track during the race will be less predictable.
'We need to be focused and concentrated on the strategy because it can play a big part of the race result. And maybe on the other hand qualifying on Saturday has less value as on Sunday there will be more factors on track.
'The number of laps [that the new tyres can run] is impossible to predict right now, but I think there is not a big problem as it is the same tyres for everyone, After tomorrow's practice we will understand a bit better how the strategy will work on Sunday, I don't have a particular worry for that.
'It is a new tyre compared to last year, a new way of approaching the weekend and the strategy. It is something we have been practising all winter, hopefully okay and hopefully more fun for the spectators.'
Ferrari and Red Bull go into the opening weekend of the 2011 Formula One World Championships as the heavy favourites following their winter testing programme.
A late development from Mercedes suggests that they could well be in the mix on Sunday, while McLaren hope that their as yet untested upgrade will also improve their car to compete.
The wait is nearly over.
Welcome to a new Formula One
Two-time former World champion Fernando Alonso believes that a new era in Formula One will begin in Australia this weekend.

Simple, bright and neutral! Here's a typical type of neutral eye look that I usually will create for a day out! On days I'm home I'm always 100% bare faced but when I need to go into town this is a normal look I'd put on, it takes me about 30 minutes to do this! I love reaching for shimmery brown neutrals shades for bright looking eyes, paired with a pink cheek I'd say this is my 'go to' look!
On this day my parents and I went to visit a new small shopping mall that opened up recently near us! Even though there are quite a few eateries and restaurants there because of the large crowds since it's new we ate at a small food court. The food was surprisingly very good and then we headed to a small cafe for some dessert!

Tundra tire

Maule M-7-235C on bushwheel-style tundra tires
A tundra tire (UK: tundra tyre) is a large low-pressure tire used on light aircraft to allow operations on rough terrain.[1]
A common variant of tundra tire is the bushwheel. These tires include an integral inner tube with the valve manufactured into the side-wall, allowing the tire to operate at very low pressures without risking shearing-off the valve stem and causing a flat tire. Low pressure tires provide greater cushioning and enable aircraft to land on rough surfaces, unsuitable for normal tires.[2][3] Bushwheels are a common modification for backcountry aircraft.[4]
The tundra-style tire has been independently invented at different times and places. In North America its post-World War II invention is credited to Canadian Welland Phipps,[1] potentially inspired by the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company's pre-World War II development of their own, similar low-pressure "airwheel" as a complete rim and tire set — said to be of the "Musselman" type from U.S. Patent 1,877,360, for its original inventor, Alvin J. Musselman — which was introduced to the American public in the late summer of 1929,[5] and becoming available in the United Kingdom by 1930.[6] It was initially offered by Goodyear in fully inflated diameters up to 46 inches (117 cm).
Phipps designed and constructed his own balloon tires in the period after the Second World War and fitted them to a Piper PA-18 Super Cub. Phipps then went on to provide air transportation to much of the Canadian high arctic region. He later established his own airline, Atlas Aviation, which operated a fleet of De Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otters on balloon tires. Using the tires, Atlas's DHC-6s established airline service to such remote communities as Resolute, Nunavut and Grise Fiord, Nunavut.[1]
Airworthiness issues
In the United States and particularly in Alaska, tundra tires of various designs were often installed under local field approvals by Federal Aviation Administration inspectors. These approvals were usually granted on the basis of visual inspections and did not include flight testing. After a number of accidents with tundra tire equipped aircraft, culminating with a large number in the fall of 1994, the National Transportation Safety Board identified that the tundra tires were connected with the accidents. Starting in April 1995 the FAA carried out flight test experiments to determine whether the tundra tires were a contributing factor.[1]
The tests used a Piper PA-18-150 Super Cub equipped in sequence with five different sets of tires, including standard factory tires and tundra tires up to Script error: No such module "convert". diameter. The PA-18 was operated at different weights and center of gravity positions.[1]
The testing on the ground revealed that the larger the tire the more restricted the forward visibility on the ground, that there was a nose-down pitching moment when the tires contacted the ground on landing, particularly on a wheel landing, and that tundra tire-equipped aircraft have substantially poorer ground handling characteristics on pavement. In the air the use of tundra tires reduced top speed, rate of climb, angle of climb, range, useful load and stall warning buffet margins.[1]
The tests did not indicate that tundra tires raise stall speed, but did find that, due to increased drag in turns, the aircraft nose tends to drop excessively with an increase in bank angle. If the pilot counteracts this tendency with rudder and stalls the aircraft, the airplane will rapidly enter a spin.[1]
Alaska bush pilots disputed the experimental findings, but, as a result of these experiments the FAA required that all installed tires be subject to a Technical Standard Order or Parts Manufacturer Approval, have been flight tested and subject to a weight and balance report, determining an acceptable flight envelope. The FAA also limited tundra tires to Script error: No such module "convert". in diameter,[1] eleven inches (28 cm) short of the largest original Goodyear "airwheel" diametral tire size available in 1930.
Until the end of the 20th century tundra tires were mostly used by bush operators flying in remote areas. In the early part of the 21st century many sales of tundra tires have been to recreational pilots. Bill Duncan, president of Alaskan Bushwheels a tundra tire manufacturer explains:[1]
|"It's the baby boomers. Here you have a group of people that lost their shirts in the stock market after 9/11 but still have disposable income and are tired of sitting in the office watching the clock. They've figured out that a light utility aircraft—a Super Cub, a Husky, a Maule or a Scout, to name the top four, will keep its value over time and may even appreciate in value. And they want to get outside and play."[1]
Charles McDowell, an Aviat Husky pilot stated:
|There's the coolness factor, plus it's nice to have a little more capability than you may need...We want a rugged plane because it makes us feel a little more independent from the infrastructure.[1]

The height of many girls has become a man's pressure. Men's height has become a hot topic, and there are more and more men shoes products on the market. However, compared with the second development of the more difficult body, men' Tall Men Shoes are a direct and effective way to increase, so now more and more men wear high shoes.
Lace Black Brown Leather Business Casual Shoes Invisible 6CM How to increase the shoes We first briefly understand the men internal shoes. According to the principle of Tall Men Shoes, the design of the men inner-high shoes is cleverly designed to hide the high-heel in the interior of the shoes, hiding this increased setting. Not only does it have an effect of increasing, but it does not expose the shortcomings of men short stature, and preserves the face for men. This intimate and effective design has won the favor of many men who are not satisfied with their height. Many men in the entertainment industry have become fans of men's high-end shoes.
Then, as a tall shoes in the high-end shoes, what about the high-heeled shoes? Because we also know that some internal shoes have also increased the effect, but because the design is not reasonable, the pace has been abnormal. The state, wearing for a long time will feel tired, and it is also harmful to the health of the footsteps. We will have such a problem. For this reason, we interviewed some used men and asked them about their opinions. Basically, they all got good reviews. They all said that wearing high brother did not feel too tired, feet and comfort.
From the inside, we learned that tall shoes are strictly controlled from material selection to processing. The materials are all selected fine leather. The key is that the internal high-rise has undergone special improvement technology, which is very in line with human mechanics. The principle, after wearing it will not feel tired and uncomfortable. Because of the clever design, it makes men look more straight.
However, some consumers have put forward some opinions on the high-heeled shoes. For example, its style is relatively old, and its style is very small. There are only ordinary pointed shoes and the like, and there is no way to wear it in some casual occasions. Moreover, the price is a bit high, which is not suitable for the consumption level of middle and low grades. In this regard, the manufacturers have also made innovations and improvements, and developed a number of new styles, producing casual shoes and sports shoes. I also hope that with the improvement of the industry, the price can be lowered, and I will try to solve the problem of sorrow for all men who are troubled by height.
