DALLAS—Speakers at the 2018 National Woman's Missionary Union Missions Celebration and annual meeting called Baptist women to the "unshakable pursuit" of God's glory and God's mission.
With 1 Corinthians 15:58 as their theme, missions speakers challenged Baptist women to "faithful, courageous, steadfast" devotion as they pursue the mission of the same God who pursued them.
"God has been pursuing you your whole life," said WMU President Linda Cooper of Tompkinsville, Ky., urging Baptist women to enter into a "missional journey" wherever God leads.
"God has a plan for your life," Cooper said. "His plan is for you to know him and help others do the same."
Cooper was re-elected as president of national WMU at the annual meeting. Jackie Hardy of Social Circle, Ga., was elected recording secretary.
See where God is at work
Missionary speakers included two couples whose names were withheld due to security concerns in the areas where they serve.
One missionary described a Kurd who was "falsely accused of starting a political rebellion" and confined in a tiny cell. Through dreams and visions of Jesus, he became a follower of Christ.
The other missionary couple described how they initially worked among an unreached people group in Central Asia before transferring to Germany, due to family medical issues.
"We had to leave behind the people we loved," one of the missionaries said.

However, in Germany, in addition to developing urban strategies to reach secular Germans, they also work with immigrants, refugees and other displaced people—including members of the same people group they sought to reach with the gospel in Central Asia.
"When you pray consistently, God will give you a new pair of glasses that allow you to see where he is at work," one of the missionaries said.
'Stand firm'
Irma Moss—a WMU leader in Florida—recalled how her father lost his business and his financial holdings after the Cuban Revolution. He left Cuba, where he had owned restaurants, to work 16-hour days as a dishwasher at restaurants in the United States.
When the last airplane bound for the United States left Cuba, Moss recalled, she and her mother and sister took the last available seats to be reunited with her father—even though her mother had been told it was impossible, because 13 other people were on a waiting list ahead of them.
From her mother, Moss said, she learned to "stand firm and not be shaken" in her faith, keeping her eyes on God.
David Melber, vice president of the Send Relief ministry at the North American Mission Board, reported on ministry to refugees and immigrants, victims of human trafficking and other vulnerable people.
He described the work of a ministry center in Clarkston, Ga., where missionaries minister in one of the most ethnically diverse areas of the United States, and another ministry center that addresses poverty in Appalachia. Additional ministry centers are planned in Puerto Rico, Las Vegas and New York, he reported.
'A beautiful and broken place'
NAMB President Kevin Ezell moderated a discussion with Kempton and Caryn Turner, missionaries and church planters in East St. Louis, Ill.
Turner, pastor of City of Joy Fellowship in East St. Louis, described his city as "a beautiful and deeply broken place."
He talked about growing up in the gang-ridden neighborhoods of the southern Illinois city before his family moved to Houston. Later, during a trip to New Orleans in which he intended to sample all the sin that city could offer, he met a couple who shared the gospel with him.
"I was saved on Bourbon Street," he said.
Serving in East St. Louis with his wife and their five children, he is seeking to create avenues to share that same life-changing gospel message in a city where 45 percent of the people live below the poverty line.
City of Joy has been instrumental in creating community development initiatives to learn job skills while repairing and renovating homes.
'Power to change lives'
David Platt, president of the International Mission Board, described a recent trip to the Amazon, where he recalled telling indigenous people stories around the campfire each night about "Jesus, the one true God."
Globally, about 2.8 billion people have little or no knowledge of Christ and the gospel, Platt said.
"We need churches that have a passion for calling out men and women to go where the gospel has not gone yet," he said. "God is seeking and saving the lost. The gospel has power to change lives."
The missions celebration also included testimonies by National Acteens Panelists Allison Agthe from Austin Baptist Church in Austin; Abby Kriss from Bethany Baptist Church in Callao, Va.; Daisy Major from Mount Carmel Baptist Church in Hickman, Ky.; and Emma Kirkemier from Asheville First Baptist Church in Gallant, Ala.
WMU presented its Dellanna West O'Brien Award for Women's Leadership Development to Ruba Abbassi, chief executive officer of Arab Woman Today, a Christian ministry that operates in 22 Arabic-speaking countries in the Middle East and North Africa.

Rob Wielaert and Kenneth Perez scored the goals which ensured Steve McClaren's troops of a place in the knockout stages, while Gerald Asamoah's late strike for Schalke could not spark a fightback in Enschede.
The defeat leaves Schalke hanging on the results of the final Group A matches if they are to progress.
Already-qualified Manchester City maintained their unbeaten pool record with a goalless draw against Paris St Germain at Eastlands.
In Group C, Standard Liege booked their place in the last 32 with a 3-0 victory over Sampdoria.
Headers from Igor De Camargo and Oguchi Onyewu put the hosts firmly in control after 35 minutes and Milan Jovanovic's strike two minutes before half-time sealed the triumph.
Luis Fabiano netted a brace as Sevilla also moved a step closer to the next stage with a 3-0 home win over Partizan Belgrade.

I love fairy tales. I love zines. How could I resist the two combined in one clever package? Delicia Williams' The Grimm Files series (there are three so far) are covered using cut-down manila folders, stamped CLASSIFIED. The inside cover notes the crime catalogued within. It really gives them the presence of police file, and is more effective than if they just had a self cover. The 8-page comic inside recounts a fairy-tale crime in verse.
|The first page
"How to Bake a Murder Cake" tackles Hansel and Gretel. In this retelling, the witch is the one with something to fear from these hungry children. The rhymes are sometimes strained, but the illustrations are excellent. The pages get blacker as danger looms, and the expressions on Hansel and Gretel's faces are quite frightening. There's also a wonderful bit of spot red drawn in to give extra impact to the horrid ending. There's something terrifying about the illustrations, especially when combined with the loopy lettering.
Williams also works as a penciller, and I plan to look up some of her other work. Notably, she inked and pencilled a story in the Wayward Sisters anthology, which has a foreword from one of my favorite comics artists, Faith Erin Hicks.


text: On March 8th, the D.C. Circuit discussed the difference between contracts "accepted" by the FDIC as conservator of a failed bank, and those "approved" by the FDIC and entitled to administrative priority under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act. MBIA claims payments it made to investors in the mortgage securitizations of the failed bank IndyMac are "administrative expenses" entitled to priority under FIRREA. It sued as the third party beneficiary of the Pooling and Servicing Agreements of IndyMac, alleging that the FDIC, as IndyMac's conservator, had "approved" the PSAs and then breached its "put back" obligations under those agreements. Affirming dismissal, the D.C. Circuit holds that Congress distinguished between contracts "accepted," or "not-repudiated," upon transfer and contracts qualified for "administrative expenses" priority because they had been "executed or approved" by the FDIC. The context, where the FDIC steps into the shoes of a failed bank in emergency circumstances, shows in light of other provisions of FIRREA where Congress intended "approved" to have a formality consistent with "executed" and beyond "accept[ance]," and where a narrow meaning is required under the depositor preference scheme.

Old growth Douglas fir trees tower overhead and the Capilano River rushes below, but you'd barely know it in the dark. Add a million twinkling lights and the nighttime forest is a spectacle to behold.
Capilano Suspension Bridge Park switched on its 12th annual Canyon Lights display last week and the West Coast rainforest is now aglow for the season. For the first time, the eight 250-year-old Douglas firs that make up the park's Treetops Adventure attraction have been lit from the ground up to 200 feet up with white lights.
Trending Stories
"It looks unbelievable and beautiful," says Stacy Chala, communications manager at the park. "It makes you realize how small you are as the trees go up so much taller than where Treetops Adventure is."
When visitors look up from the viewing platforms or the seven footbridges that connect the giant firs, they will be able to see just how high the trees reach.
"They've illuminated the top branches with these massive LED lights to give it a kind of candle feel," Chala describes. "You really do feel the rainforest."
Meanwhile, guests can also take in the changing light display that illuminates Capilano River from the suspension bridge and Cliffwalk, and kids may be enticed by the holiday craft station, cookie decorating, scavenger hunts and singalongs.
Chala says the lights in the canyon are improved this year.
"We have lights down by the river that illuminate the river as it flows by with colour-changing lights so you can see the motion of the water," she explains. "Now when you're crossing the bridge you can see how high you are and you can see down to the river below."
Work on Canyon Lights gets underway in January each year. That's when organizers purchase new lights and map out the design. The 12-person decorating team starts on Labour Day weekend. Some ascend the trees by rope to hook lights onto the highest branches; others ride a manlift 130 feet up in the air; and some stay closer to the ground, decorating the buildings and landscape.
"It is spectacular and the whole forest is just very elegant and sparkles. Lots of whites and creams. It looks great," Chala says.
She is often asked just how many lights brighten the park, but it's a question she can't answer.
"We've never counted, but I can definitely say it's well over one million."
This year's display will stay open for an extra month due to demand. Partial proceeds from admissions are donated to the BC Professional Fire Fighters' Burn Fund for Burn Camp, as well as fire and burn education in schools throughout B.C. With the festival extension, Chala is hopeful the park can up its annual contribution to the fund from $30,000 to $40,000.
Canyon Lights at Capilano Suspension Bridge Park runs daily until Jan. 28, 2018 (except Christmas Day when the park is closed). The park is open 11 a.m.-9 p.m. and holiday activities start at 4 p.m. Visit capbridge.com for ticket info.

Amber Turner is reportedly planning a huge on-screen showdown with ex-boyfriend Dan Edgar.
The TOWIE babe was left feeling "mugged off" when she discovered he'd slept with another girl after they'd struck up a romance.
And now, Amber is said to be planning to confront him in front of the world after he moved on with the show's new girl Clelia Theodorou.
The blonde beauty, who is currently filming the show in Barcelona, burst into tears when she found out Dan was dating the model, and apparently plans to confront him about it.
A source told The Sun Online : "Amber is done. She was very surprised to find out Dan's new girlfriend is joining the show and already filming scenes with Arg and Diags.
"She's done with Dan's behaviour and wants to get the last word in.
"She's planning to speak to him face to face when she gets back to Essex."
The source added that Amber is tried of Dan "making her look stupid".
The 25-year-old star was left crushed last year when she struck up a casual romance with the Essex lad but discovered Dan had slept with another girl.
And now on her return to filming for the reality TV show, Amber has been left feeling humiliated by her ex.
She discovered Dan has been sleeping with new girl Clelia - who was brought in to spice things up.
And the beauty "can't stop crying" since finding out the news just 48 hours after they started filming in Barcelona.
"She is very upset as she knows Dan has lied and has strung her along for a long time now," a source close to the star told Mirror Online.
"She is strong but very vulnerable but is working on putting herself first and getting over him."
Mirror Online has contacted Amber's representatives for comment.

Heard it all now…'Barcelona and Real Madrid fighting it out over Moussa Sissoko'
Moussa Sissoko is allegedly being 'fought over' by Real Madrid and Barcelona.
There are transfer stories and then there are…transfer stories!
The claims have been made by Spanish media organisation Don Balon.
They say that despite his pathetic showing for Tottenham, Real Madrid are going to try and hijack Barcelona's bid for Moussa Sissoko.
AC Milan are also supposedly keen on taking the midfielder who has only started one Premier League match since December.
To an extent you can believe the Serie A club potentially being interested, they can finish no higher than sixth this season and are 25 points behind Juventus at the top.
AC Milan now have money to spend through wealthy backers and are desperate to revive past glories, so will be trying to persuade any vaguely credible player to join them.
As for Real Madrid and Barcelona though, it is surely a joke to imagine them giving any thought at all to a player who has done nothing to suggest he is good enough for them.
Moussa Sissoko having coasted through 95% of his time at Newcastle after an impressive opening few months, then proving an absolute disaster for Tottenham after they wasted £30m on him.
Don Balon claim that Real Madrid and Zinedine Zidane tried to buy Sissoko last summer…well if that had been the case, he'd have been off there like a shot.
No doubt the next Don Balon exclusive will see Real Madrid and Barcelona fighting it out over Alan Pardew as their next manager…

Welcome to your December Spirit Guide reading! As always, take a few moments to become quiet and connect with yourself. Connect with your spirit guides, and ask which message is perfect for you for the month of December — Message #1, #2, or #3 — and of course, you can be drawn to more than one message.
Feel free to fast forward to your special message:
- #1 — 00:40
- #2 — 7:00
- #3 — 11:24
Spirit Guide Message #1
If you were drawn to Message #1, the card that comes up for you is Initiation. You are at the cusp of a new era! Something that's been bothering you for years, or perhaps even for the majority of your life, is finally going to be resolved. You are walking through a sacred doorway, leaving behind an old identity. You're claiming your authority to be who you are now, and letting go of who you've been. This is an empowering transformation and an invitation from your soul.
Spirit Guide Message #2
If you were drawn to Message #2, the card that comes up for you is Imrama. What are you really longing for? This card is an invitation to connect deeply with how you want to feel in your life. What experiences will give you the feelings you are yearning to have? Asking yourself how you want to feel in each aspect of your life will bring you into alignment with yourself and what you truly want. Knowing how you want to feel cuts through the mind's confusion about what to do next.
Spirit Guide Message #3
If you were drawn to Message #3, the card that comes up for you is Starseed. What brings you joy? There are aspects of yourself that you haven't discovered or explored yet. There is an ocean in you, an ocean of undiscovered delight, and it's time to explore what lights you up. This inquiry will carry you into 2019. What will you bring with you into next year, and what are you going to let go of? Bring those things that give you the feelings you specifically want to feel, and let go of the rest.
Sending you love,

This week's post comes from Steve Ivermee, Managing Partner, UKI Transaction Advisory Services at EY.
UK M&A intentions hit a four-year low in EY's 19th Capital Confidence Barometer (CCB19). It's an eye catching figure, but what does this mean on the ground for UK deal activity and how UK companies allocate their capital?
If we combine UK CCB19 results with our other survey data, I think we begin to see a new picture emerge. There's no doubt that UK companies still intend to transact – just not at the extraordinary levels we've seen in the last two years, as they consolidate their position and put their house in order in preparation for whatever comes next.
This week's blog explores those changing priorities.
A return to the norm?
We're reaching the end of what looks set to be a near-record year for global M&A and an exceptional year for UK deals, with transaction values at their highest level since 2015. But is this the last M&A hurrah? Not quite – although there is every indication that we'll see the pace of UK deals slow from these recent peaks in the next 12 months.
In our latest Capital Confidence Barometer (CCB19), 45% of UK respondents said that they "actively intended to pursue M&A in the next 12 months", down from 65% six months ago. On the one hand, this is a dramatic 20 percentage point fall. On the other, this puts UK M&A intentions back in line with their eight-year UK average (45%) and almost in-line with global deal intentions (46%).
Thus, whilst it seems that the exceptional period of deal activity we've seen in the last few years is coming to a close, UK companies still expect to transact and certainly haven't switched off from M&A altogether. To underline this fact, CCB19 also shows that just 3% of UK companies expect their deal pipelines to shrink in the next year.
Deal rationales remain
So, UK companies still expect and arguably need to do deals. A third of UK respondents said "disruptive forces" (including technology and competition from non-traditional players) presented the biggest risk to their core business growth. In CCB19, 40% of respondents had identified an asset at risk of disruption to divest – capital that we expect to see recycled back into the business.
This need to buy in technology and expertise have been prevalent in making 'inbound' the biggest UK M&A story in 2018. The UK's open economy and IP-rich assets are still attracting buyers looking to meet the disruptive threat.
The continuing popularity of UK assets is reflected in the UK's rise to second place (from fifth) in CCB19's global investment destination list. Brexit uncertainties are a short term deal head wind. But, any increase in trade barriers could stimulate some inbound and outbound activity – if companies need to invest to retain access to markets.
Whilst 16% of UK and global respondents said that changes in trade and tariff policies had halted an acquisition; almost 20% of global and 23% of UK respondents said that the changes had focused more of their attention on cross-border opportunities.
Dealing with uncertainty
So, in looking at why some UK companies taking a step back from actively pursuing M&A , I don't think we can explain this decline entirely by citing 'uncertainty' – which has been a constant for many years now. I wrote here three months ago about the almost perfect alignment of means, motive and opportunity that were keeping UK deal markets so active – including rapid change in their markets that required companies to act. But, I also pondered what could upset this alignment.
"…less liquid markets are more volatile, with instability amplified by geopolitical tensions. If markets and earnings fall, this will affect the ability and confidence of companies to transact. Riskier mega deals could be the first to drop.
Trade is another complex factor. Further trade war and Brexit uncertainty could hit confidence and limit visibility. Although, investment could still flow out of necessity, if companies need to change their operating structures to adapt to new trade conditions."
The last three months has seen much of this come to pass. October brought a significant correction in global equity markets. In CCB19, just 49% of UK companies expect domestic earnings to rise in the next 12 months – compared with 59% at the same point last year. The latest EY Profit Warnings Report shows the highest percentage of UK quoted companies issuing a warning since 2016. The latest EY ITEM Club forecast predicts sluggish GDP growth for the next three years with the UK economy growing by just 1.3% in 2018 and 1.5% in 2019. The murkier outlook is also effecting the ease of doing deals. In CCB19, 47% of UK respondents think that regulation and political uncertainty were the biggest risks to deal making.
New priorities
With the UK's M&A stars less perfectly aligned, it seems that more companies are taking a step back to consider and consolidate their position. The clear capital allocation priorities in the chart below are investing in existing operations, improving working capital and creating an efficient capital structure – all of which rank well above M&A. Companies aren't quite battening down the hatches, but they are making sure they are shipshape for whatever lies around the corner.
Investors also seem to be preparing for increasing stress, with profit warnings triggering record share price falls in the third quarter. Shareholders are clearly positioning their capital in what appear to be the strongest companies. In this more febrile environment it clearly makes sense for companies to focus on operational fitness. But, I also believe that companies need to keep their eyes on the horizon. By, which I mean that companies cannot afford to lose sight of how quickly their sector is changing and converging in response to new technologies and changing behaviours.
I expect UK deals to slow from their peak whilst companies face increasing headwinds and adjust to new realities. But, ultimately businesses and their executives should regain their deal appetites. Fundamentally companies need to find a way to take clear and calculated risks to ensure that they emerge as winners. M&A will remain a big part of that process.

Outrage against slavery is hypocritical
Reader comment on item: ISIS Justifies Its Yazidi Slaves
Submitted by Michael S. (United States), Oct 26, 2014 at 06:44
The British presumably outlawed slavery in 1807 (though is had actually been outlawed centuries earlier -- on paper). They outlawed it in many forms; but where it was economically expedient to keep slaves, as in the sugar plantations of Jamaica, it wasn't finally outlawed until 1834. Then the slaves were quickly replaced by indentured servants:
The British were the barometer of Western "morality", so everyone else in the world was expected to follow their lead (as the U.S. of America did in 1863). Nine of this is what I would call a moral imperative against slavery; and the Bible endorses the practice in many places. It's hypocritical, therefore, for the Western World to get all agitated about the practice of slavery in Muslim countries.

As long as I am sharing art that I made mistakes on, but still really like, I might as well go full on. I sketch everything in pencil, paint with watercolor, and then go over it with the ink. It is a gel pen that takes forever to dry–and sometimes it is really hard to see the pencil through the color. So I end up with smudges–or I mistake a letter for a different one. And done. Can't go back and fix it.
Imagine this. God didn't need to go back and fix anything.
Except maybe people. And that wasn't His fault. And even then He had a back-up plan in his pocket from the very beginning!
I don't know about you, but that humbles me. I am a hot mess of sticking my foot in my mouth, sitting on the fence of opinions, calling people out, zero patience, craziness ALL. THE. TIME!
God created mountains, fields, water, sky, light. ME. And He did it with finesse and perfection. That is to be exalted.
Do you ever exalt God and His perfection? We stand up and clap for athletes. For rock bands. For celebrities small and big. Do you clap for God? For He is the one who humbles us and is deserving of our praise.

Egression is the second zerg mission of Episode II of StarCraft.
History[edit | edit source]
Background[edit | edit source]
Following the zerg infestation of Tarsonis, the Overmind prepared to lead the Zerg Swarm away from the planet and return to Char, the zerg's primary staging planet in the Koprulu sector. The Overmind charged the Cerebrate to continue to protect the chrysalis during travel. Zasz warned that the orbital platform the Swarm had relocated to contained remnants of the protoss fleet that had engaged them in Tarsonis previously, and the Cerebrate would have to fight its way through the protoss to bring the chrysalis to the location the zerg intended to enter warp from.
The Blockade[edit | edit source]
To aid the Cerebrate, Daggoth sent six of his most powerful zerg breeds, Hunter Killer hydralisks, to escort the chrysalis. With the Hunter Killers leading their forces into battle, the Cerebrate destroyed the protoss and brought the chrysalis to the warp point. The Swarm departed Tarsonis and secured the chrysalis on Char.
Walkthrough[edit | edit source]
The player begins with a well-established base, with two hatcheries and a spawning pool. Near the chrysalis the player can find six Hunter Killers that will be rescued for command when the player brings a unit near them. The Hunter Killers are extremely powerful hydralisks with greatly increased stats, and are invaluable in this mission. The player should take care not to lose them, and retreat them if they take too heavy damage and allow them to regenerate.
The player does not need to invest much time in this mission; the protoss defenders on the way to the beacon are not very strong, and the player does not need to destroy the protoss base to complete their objective. The player should build up their drones to speed up mining, then mutate a dozen zerglings. This force should be plenty to fight their way to the beacon. The player can then bring the chrysalis to the beacon by moving a drone to its location. The drone will pick up and transport the chrysalis, and the player can bring the drone to the beacon.
If the drone carrying the chrysalis dies, the chrysalis will be endangered, and a timer begins for the player to retrieve it. Failure results in the mission being lost, so the player must act quickly.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- When rescuing the Hunter Killers, Daggoth will address the player, but the conversation with display the portrait of Zasz.

Today I successfully launched my first, own native, fully hand-coded Android app on the Google Play Store.
About tipBru
tipBru is a small free app I developed that alleviates the need for a calculator when out dining. The lightweight app can quickly calculate the tip on a bill and comes with 3 standard tipping "generosity" levels.
tipBru was also developed with a "round up" feature that allows you to pay a solid, rounded amount instead of a total that is "fragmented", for lack of a better term. This is useful in situations where you only have cash and don't want cents back.
The small utility app is available for free from the Google Play Store as from today and you can download it from the link at the bottom of this post.
Completely Free And The Source Code Too!
To compliment the release of my app, I have also included the entire source code in a GitHub repository, which can be accessed from here. I plan to keep the source code updated as I go along and push out new versions. Feel free to glance over the code.
Tools Used To Develop the App
- Coded in HTML / CSS / Javascript
- Using Framework7
- Compiled with Apache Cordova (strictly using the CLI)
- Using the Google Android SDK
- Using JDK 8 / JRE 8
- Coded with Brackets
Google Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.martingrondein.tipBru&hl=en

Some fainted, some jumped for joy, some just looked puzzled, when CENTRIC announced one of their big surprises for this years Soul Train Awards would be the return of Jodeci. Not only will the iconic R&B quartet be taking the stage, but they will also be debuting their first new single in 18 years!
With many fans anxious to hear what it sounds like, Jodeci member Davlin "Mr. Dalvin" DeGrate is spilling the beans just a little in a new interview with Yahoo! Music.
"Sometimes it's just the wrong timing," said Mr. Dalvin explaining why the group has not released any new music since 1996's "Get on Up."
"You can fall into the trap that a lot of artists fall into by just putting records out there because fans are excited and start tarnishing your legacy and body of work you've created. People waited all these years for some quality music – not just throwing music out there."
After an 18-year hiatus, the timing must finally be right for the North Carolina quartet that changed the look and sound of popular urban music with three albums and hits "Forever My Lady," "Come and Talk to Me" and "Feenin'," to bless its audience with a new track and forthcoming album.
According to Yahoo! "Nobody Wins"' chorus exhibits Jodeci's signature lush harmonies and the soulful music bed takes a more mature turn for the group. The ballad's synthesizer chords and kick drums draw refreshing, old-school R&B comparisons as the lyrics call for peace in relationships. They sing, "Nobody wins when we fight, fuss, and argue," and Atlanta rapper B.o.B contributes the song's verses.

text: Looking to see if people's phones match up to what I experience yesterday in a car my iPhone X get pretty through the entire phone when I got out and was able to check the temp with a thermometer the phone was 90 degrees on the back and felt warm against my skin this was just idling in my truck with the ac on. I can easily make both my iPhone X and 7 ramp up over this with just general usage such as browsing the internet or facebook but usually this is under the camera. Is it normal for a phone to feel warm when idling in my lap while driving with the AC on? The whole phone felt warm at this point. Roughly 80 degrees outside yesterday. All of this is in Fahrenheit also what temp is your phone f you can check for me. Any thermometer will work. Thank you so much, also my previous X was replaced I have had this one since Friday, updated to 11.4 Wednesday.

What is the exact name you would like in your logo?
Bethel Mission Outreach
Target Audience
What is your industry?
Non-Profit Relief Work
Describe the target audience for your logo
The target audience for our logo is a young adult audience seeking to engage in world-wide improvement. I would say that the average age is from 18-30. However, we are also seeking financial donors in the 40-60 age range...
What are the top 3 things you would like to communicate through your logo?
1. A sense of mission/outreach/public service
2. Poverty alleviation (through food, clean water, and shelter)
3. Care for children (through education and orphan housing)
Style and Concept
What logo styles do you like (text only, image only, text and image, etc.)?
clean, clean, CLEAN! We are looking for a clean, fresh, and organic logo style that would include TEXT AND IMAGE.
What colors do you want to see in your logo?
Green, Brown, Black
What colors do you NOT want to see in your logo?
orange, purple, red, yellow, pink
Where will your logo be used (print, website, etc.)?
Print and Website...
Do you have other info or links you want to share?
We are a Christian organization, but we are wanting to steer away from obviously religious symbols (ie: a cross, or other 'churchy' logos). The goal is to capture our relief and mission work in the logo.
I really like the logo that was designed for a mission organization called 'food for the hungry' -(you can see it at fh.org) I like it because it is clean and it embodies who they are and what they do (ie: within the logo you can see the outline of fish and wheat). However, it does not have to be circular... please feel free to be creative as you seek to pull together the different aspects of our mission organization...
Also, please make sure to emphasize the words 'Bethel Mission'. I want all three words of our organization to be included, but I want people to really focus on 'Bethel Mission' and not 'Outreach.'
I am looking for a fresh and clean design that would fit the overall feel of our website 'bethelmissionoutreach.org' and embody what we do as an organization...

I just wanted to say a huge, huge Thankyou for "saving us" on Saturday .
It would have been much easier for you to just go home but you went above and beyond the call of duty to help us out of a situation that would have ruined our charity event .
Please forward this on to your management. I have recommended to our caterers – Chartwell – that they use you in future for any hire equipment
Adams are fantastic!
The team are always on hand to answer questions and give inspirational ideas! I would recommend them to anyone, especially if they had a dry hire venue!
During the busiest month of the busiest year in our 11 year history and with just hours before 36 guests were due to arrive at our kitchen for a Black Tie Dinner I realised that I had not ordered the hire equipment from Adams! No tables, no chairs, no linen, no crockery, no cutlery, no glassware, nothing! I was distraught.
In my 25 year career I had never done this before and so with tail between my legs (and slightly in a blind panic) I rang Stef who was her usual calm, reassuring self (even though I was sure the pitch in her voice was rising!) Ten minutes later I received a very welcome call to advise it was sorted and truck was being loaded as we spoke.
Within two hours we had a knock at the kitchen door and saw the much welcome site of the Adams van. Yeahhhhh, the hire had arrived. The show could go on!
I've worked with Adams Catering several years now and they are always my first choice when it comes to quality, flexibility, service, price and professionalism.
We are so grateful for the time and support over the Christmas period. Your contributions has without a doubt improved the quality of life for the elderly and homeless in our community.
Thank you for taking such good care of us. You really are the best.
Having used my previous hire company for more than 20 years, I was shocked and dismayed when they went into liquidation I had not opened my mind to the fact that there would be another company that could offer the exceptionally high standards my clients required. Several were recommended to me, but in speaking to them I recognised they would not be able to fulfill their exacting requirements.
From the instant I made contact with Adams Catering Hire, I knew I had found what I was looking for; their customer service is second to none, disloyally, I wish I had found them sooner.
It has been a pleasure to be able to recommend them to both my clients and colleagues alike.

SketchUp Free vs Pro – The Most Important Differences
Paired with LayOut, SketchUp's construction plan making tool, SketchUp Pro becomes a very powerful tool for making great looking, accurate schematics and construction plans. SketchUp also gives you the ability to put your company's branding on the sides of the construction plans, meaning everything can be done with just one piece of software.
Another handy feature SketchUp Free is short on when compared to SketchUp Pro is the making 3D models from 2D PDF construction plans feature. Simply import the PDF, measure it, and extrude the model into 3D.
To make it easier to model complex shapes, there's a number of extensions available to download for SketchUp. The extensions can be found on 3D Warehouse, a large online base of 3D models and extensions for SketchUp users.
For example, you might need to model a specific curve out of a solid cube. With the extension, that's done within seconds and makes your life much easier.
Again, the use of extensions is only available in SketchUp Pro.

How to Fix WordPress White Screen of Death (Beginner's Guide)
How to Fix WordPress White Screen of Death (Beginner's Guide)
Here's How to Fix WordPress White Screen of Death (Beginner's Guide). Understand what it is, why it happens, and learn how you can overcome it!
Too often, people ask: can you fix the white screen of death? To some, it sounds like a pretty impossible feat. They become dumbfounded with what to do after seeing nothing but a blank screen, which seemingly locks them out of solutions.
But, it doesn't have to be that way. You can sit and relax, knowing that a number of WordPress site owners and developers have experienced the same problem—and there's a solution.
Receiving the Error
So, what is the dreaded white screen of death?
It's nothing but a blank, white screen that suddenly comes out—no words, no pictures. And, that makes it dreadful. It does not provide any clues to trace or any buttons to click.
Unfortunately, that often leaves people with no idea on what to do next. Well, how do you exactly move on from nothing?
There are different scenarios where you may have experienced the seemingly dreadful error.
You may have seen it when trying to log in to your website, or when you just logged out of your admin dashboard. Also, you may have encountered it after updating a plugin or after installing a new theme.
There is no need to worry.
A variety of solutions are available. But in all these—if there is one thing you need to understand, that is the fact that every action has its consequence. Consider carefully what you were doing before the WordPress white screen of death appeared.
Common Causes
There are a couple of reasons why you received a white screen. Here are among the common ones:
1. Plugin Incompatibility
Plugins (particularly badly written plugins) are among the prime suspects for many website errors. Whether you were just putting on a new feature or updating your site with a new theme, you are not far from encountering WordPress white screen of death.
You can think of it this way…
Each plugin is an application that you can install in your WordPress software. It is written with code, that will enable your site to perform specific functions or provide users with a pleasant experience.
The thing is…
As software applications, plugins have their individual storage size and components. And if they are not compatible with your software or any of its components, your site would crash. That's how you also get WordPress white screen of death.
2. New Theme
Got a new theme for your website?
New themes can be incompatible with your existing plugins. This is why WordPress users are advised to carefully assess a theme first before installing it. You can check the ratings and reviews from other users, or check the theme's features.
The WordPress white screen of death error could appear after you activated a new theme.
One thing to note…
Not all themes have the same features. And just like plugins, it is sometimes the badly created themes that cause the error—they also leave room for malicious threats if not addressed immediately. To avoid having such issues, make sure to download only from reliable repositories for new themes.
3. Automatic Updates
Each WordPress website has can be automatically updated. That includes updates on their core software and translation files. In some websites, however, their themes and plugins can be updated as well.
All of which are set to help secure websites. You can, however, choose to disable it and manually do the updates instead.
The automatic update feature can fail, and that's when the WordPress white screen of death error can appear. If not the white screen, you will be notified by a warning or a PHP error message instead.
4. Exhausted Memory Size
Each website runs on a limited amount of memory. Some have a default PHP memory of 40MB, while others have 64MB.
The thing is…
You need enough memory to run your website smoothly. This refers to the memory limit that PHP scripts consume. Remember that WordPress runs on PHP.
Every time your web server receives a set of instructions, you start a process that will enable your website to perform specific functions. Your system fails if you exceed the size it requires. That's how you receive the WordPress white screen of death error.
Solutions to Fix WordPress White Screen of Death
Different causes call for different solutions. Here are some actions you can do to fix the error:
1. Incompatibility Issue
Plugins can go against other plugins in your WordPress website. To fix it, simply deactivate your plugins one by one to identify which one is causing the error. The error should go away after you have deactivated the faulty plugin.
It could be that the plugin is already outdated, or just wasn't created well. Consequently, it becomes incompatible with your software.
If you cannot log in to admin dashboard, you can deactivate from your FTP. Make sure you already have an FTP client installed for your website.
To deactivate, log in to your FTP and go to the wp_content/plugins folder. Each folder you find inside it represents a plugin. Simply rename the specific plugin folder, and that will deactivate the plugin from your website.
Refresh your browser to see the changes.
If the faulty plugin is critical to your site, you can look for its latest version or find another plugin that's similar to it.
2. Theme Issue
To fix WordPress white screen of death due to themes, simply deactivate your current theme and temporarily use the default WordPress theme. If you no longer have the default theme in your website's Themes directory, you can install it again from WordPress.
As you can see, deactivating a theme is very similar to deactivating a plugin.
If you can't access your admin dashboard, you can use your FTP instead. Simply log in and go to the wp_content/themes folder. Rename your current theme's folder as is necessary.
3. Automatic Update Issue
According to WordPress, there are mainly 3 reasons why an update fails. 1) You don't have the correct file permissions. 2) The server cannot connect to your files. 3) A problem in your internet connection occurred during the update.
Check which one applies to you, and fix as is necessary. Otherwise, you can disable the automatic update feature and do it manually instead.
4. Memory Size Issue
If you are certain that all your plugins and themes are working properly, you can go ahead and increase your PHP memory to fix WordPress white screen of death. The difficulty lies in not seeing any clues as to what may have caused the error.
There is necessarily no need to panic.
Log in to your FTP client, and open the wp-config.php file. It should reflect the limit you have. Once you find it, increase it to either 64MB, 96MB, or 256MB.
Note, however, that not all hosts allow this. For this, it is recommended that you call your respective host to fix the issue.
The Need for Maintenance
Understanding how and why WordPress white screen of death appears on your site will help you determine which steps to take. It can show up any time you're browsing through your site or while making important changes. And, you don't want to be left dumbfounded on what to do when it happens.
This leads to a more pressing concern: the need for regular site maintenance. How often do you check on your website's health? How do you do it?
As mentioned, sometimes a faulty plugin could cause frustrating errors. Maintenance is critical in securing your website from such errors and malicious threats. It also adds value to your users.
People want a secure and reliable place online. They want to be sure that they are providing their information only to reliable sources. On your end, you can look after what comes in and out of your website to give them exactly what they need.

NFL players ratified a new collective bargaining agreement with the league on Sunday.
There was a little drama because established stars were against it and the rank and file were for it. It passed just 1,019-959, or by 60 of 1,978 votes. We could have used one of those magic voting walls the cable news networks use to break it all down.
In the end, however, very little of that has any impact on actual fans of the league.
Players will continue to get paid … a lot. Owners will continue to make … a lot. The rest is details for the lawyers and the accountants.
That said, this was a CBA that will alter the sport in significant ways. Let's start with the basics.
Labor peace
The deal runs through 2030, so not only should there be no lockouts or strikes, we also don't have to deal with another labor negotiation for nearly a decade. This also allows the league to negotiate new media deals with certainty over the labor agreement. While these are clearly uncertain and hard to predict times in the country, those deals should increase overall revenue and the salary cap.
If you are Patrick Mahomes, waiting to sign that new deal after next season is a good idea.
The 17th game
The jokes are everywhere. In 2021, when a 17-game schedule goes into effect, no team will ever finish 8-8 again … "so now the Detroit Lions have nothing to dream of" … or … "does this mean Jeff Fisher is banned from coaching" … and so on.
The extra game, though, is significant.
If nothing else, it's one more weekend of football to watch for fans. That probably will be well received, although there is certainly a limit to how long a regular season can last and still have nearly every game be relevant.
For players, a 17th game – and week of prep – adds to the grind of the season. However it is mitigated by a decrease of 12 padded practices during training camp. In the cumulative, that is a lot less full-contact hits a player takes over the course of a season and a career.
It also is expected to cause the elimination of the fourth preseason game – a development no one other than special team players on the cutline will miss.
Season kickoff
Nothing is yet finalized but it seems like that starting in 2021, the NFL season will begin on Labor Day weekend, not the following week. Currently that weekend serves as the kickoff for (most of) college football. This way the playoffs and Super Bowl remain on the current schedule.
It's probably not a big deal, and might even be embraced by fans who will enjoy that the first NFL Sunday is followed by a national holiday. It is a small encroachment of fall into summer, however.
The record book
A 17th game should cause the regular season record book (and eventually the career record book) to be rewritten. A QB only needs to average 294.2 yards a game to throw for 5,000, for instance. A thousand yards rushing used to be a huge accomplishment during the old 14-game season (71.4 per game). It's currently just 62.5 yards a game. It'll soon drop to 58.8.
If there's ever another Tom Brady, who has 18 seasons where he started nearly every game, the extra game every year would give that quarterback another season-plus to pad career numbers over the current and former guys.
Home-field advantage
The math is simple: With 17 games to be played, half of the league will have an extra home date – minus the international games (more on that in a second). It will certainly be beneficial to have nine home and eight road games rather than the opposite, and it could play a role in the playoff chase.
In a league obsessed with "fairness", how is that fair?
International games
None of this is in the CBA, but an extra game will allow the NFL to at least play around with the idea of additional games outside of the United States. There are now a full 16 extra games per year. Could the league just make them all international games and keep the eight home/eight road game splits?
Then they could spread those 16 games around the globe, which seems more logistically sound than just adding a franchise in London.
Play four or even six games in London, expand the Mexico City slate to four (or add another Mexico market), add games in mainland Europe, Brazil or other places. Who knows, really? Maybe even take games to football-mad, non-NFL cities in the United States (say, a Dallas Cowboys game at the University of Arkansas or Oklahoma or Texas).
There is now a lot of so-called inventory to work with. These ideas might be better for long-term growth and schedule balance than just one more home date.
Expanded playoffs
Each conference will add a wild card team, meaning seven teams (not six) will reach the playoffs. It also means only the No. 1 seed will get a bye; the other three division champions will host a wild-card team. The chase for that No. 1 seed will be significant.
This does water down the playoffs – last season the 9-7 Los Angeles Rams and 8-8 Pittsburgh Steelers would have made the field. The Steelers would have skidded in on a three-game losing streak.
However, it also increases the number of teams with something to play for deep into the December postseason chase. And with the elimination of a bye, it means two additional good teams (Green Bay and Kansas City last year) would play an additional game. Who's against an extra Aaron Rodgers playoff game in Lambeau or Mahomes in Arrowhead?
Time will tell on the full impact here, but there are some trade-offs that hint the extra playoff teams could be embraced quickly enough.
The triple-header
The best of those trade-offs? Who is against a weekend with back-to-back triple-header playoff action? That's how wild wild-card weekend is about to get.
In the end, it's more football. Here's guessing that once it becomes habit, very few fans will long for the days of less.
Regardless, the CBA is in. To use a phrase that is common these days, this is our new (football) normal.
