CHECK! Winner, right here!
There are some miscellaneous things I have to do each week too, like keep our food store stocked, order supplies, escort people onto our compound, and entertain my co-workers. Pretty awesome I think, with a not too shabby wage. There are a couple things that I need changed ASAP! I'm a smart girl, I can multitask like a champ, and pressure? Totally love it! So I need some more responsibilities! When I worked on the compound last time I took a job that a monkey could do in his sleep (except the lady before me, she was an effing moron! Good thing though, yay job for me!) and added like 10 things to my plate. People came to me for everything and I LOVED IT! They needed help with training... "Let's go see Amber" They needed a tool box inventory typed... "Let's go see Amber" They needed someone to drive them to the airport ... "Let's go see Amber" They needed to bitch about their wives ... "Let's go see Amber" It was the best! Here though? Not so much. While it is nice to have a super easy job, sometimes it blows! I'm fairly certain on Wednesday I actually got the the end of Pinterest! It does exist I swear! Oh lets not forget the seven books I've read just while at work since January, you think I kid...3 Chelsea Handler Books, "White Girl Problems", "The First Husband", "Breaking Dawn", "I Hate Everyone (and other atrocious lies)" yeah that's 7! Thank god for the Kindle and it's many reading apps.
This brings us to today, and probably about 7 other days per year. Today is Good Friday and it's a DONSA for the Army and many of the other contractors. We, however, are working with 1 other company and that's it! There is NOTHING GOING ON TODAY! Looking out in our parking lot that we share with another hangar there is 15 cars. What makes it worse though is knowing that I'm sitting here doing, not a damn thing when I could be packing and leaving for Florida. Oh Florida how I long to see you!
I know it's super shitty to be complaining when I have a job and there are so many others that don't, but ... but...
Until next time
<3 Amber

Jedd Gyorko Dealing With Fatigue Issues
7/28:St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Jedd Gyorko has been dealing with fatigue issues lately, leading to him sitting on the bench for two of the last three games. Gyorko has started 82 games this season after starting just 100 total last year. He's struggled since the All-Star Break, hitting just .159 with 11 strikeouts in 44 at bats. Manager Mike Matheny will likely continue to give Gyorko some days off, having Greg Garcia start in his place. While Gyorko has seen his average dip from .300 to .280 since the All-Star Break, he'll look to bring it back up once he gets his swing back. Fantasy owners may need to find another third base option for a few days, but Gyorko should be fine long term.

North Dakota homeowners can skip this laborious task entirely by working with a professional cleaning service provider that specialises in move out cleaning services. Move out cleaning is specifically created to have homes prepared for those moving in to settle in as quickly as possible. Having the house cleaned thoroughly prior to you move out is a matter of common courtesy if absolutely nothing else, however often it is a compulsory requirement, specifically if you're a previous occupant.
That there are lots of reasons why it is imminent for North Dakota occupants to hire an expert home cleaning service provider when they are moving in or moving out. There is absolutely nothing basic about a move. The scope of the cleaning requirements that require to be done can be frustrating undoubtedly, particularly if the occupant is burdened with work and other responsibilities.
Preparing for move out cleaning.
The contract signed by the homeowner and the tenant normally includes a provision that requires the latter to leave the home as they had discovered it-empty, excellent, and undamaged. In addition, for renters who have decided to move out, the proprietor may include additional charges against deposit dollars if particular areas are not cleaned out.
Cleaning is definitely not the priority for someone who is confronted with the powerful challenges of settling into a new place and starting a new life. There are many things that need to be achieved in so little time, not the least of which is finishing work and other requirements prior to the move. In order to meet their end of the agreement, the more useful alternative for the tenant is to work with North Dakota expert cleaning service provider, as opposed to do the cleaning themselves.
The major advantage of hiring North Dakota professional cleaning service company is that they can do the task better and more effectively. This depends upon the quality of the cleaning company, however these days it is simple to discover a service company that is ensured to do an excellent job. A cleaning company can work miracles, and recover a location that has been lived in for rather some time into an area that is almost brand new. To prepared the location for its next resident, a professional crew has to get rid of grease, gunk, cakes of dirt, and dust rounds from tough to reach areas. They know how to perform these jobs successfully. An individual without sufficient experience in using cleaning tools and cleaning solutions would not know exactly what kind of chemical to utilize to remove a certain type of stain.
When moving in, exactly what to expect
Moving into a new location in North Dakota can be laborious. More than likely, the new arrivals do not know anyone in the area, and there is no one to give an additional hand in preparing the place for the furniture and personal results of the tenant. Although property owners or managers usually require the last resident to leave the premises in pristine condition, it is still crucial for the new owner to ensure that the area is certainly a wholesome, safe, and pleasant place to live in. Expert cleaning service companies provide not just end-of-tenancy cleaning services. They might also be called upon to carry out a comprehensive cleaning and upkeep, check on the home, check out the little details, and make certain that the new house is undoubtedly prepared for tenancy.
Your check-list before moving out:
Prior to you leave your home, look for damaged things and make certain you change each one of them. In case you forget to replace such items like lights or missing screws, it is most likely that your homeowner would take a big piece off your preliminary deposit for these minor items.
If your house has wall to wall carpets, you will certainly need to make a choice in between hiring a specialist to clean it or turning to cleaning it on your own. If you look at the current condition of the carpeting and match it to the initial state, this decision would be simple. When you make this decision, bringing it to the original condition ought to be your aim.
You should also check the walls to see if there are discolorations on them. Walls with stains can be a huge issue due to direct visibility. Make sure you eliminate wall-stains with a mild hand to prevent wearing down the paint since if that occurs, you will lose a big portion of your deposit money.
After you have actually done all the cleaning, make certain that you check out the ovens and fridges. The seals of the refrigerators have to be in appropriate condition, and the ovens should be clean enough for use. When moving out in North Dakota, these checks will certainly increase the probabilities of getting the deposit total in full.
Quick Tip for North Dakota residentsDo your research! There are literally lots of companies that provide move out cleaning and steam carpeting cleaning covering many properties as apartments, condos, town-homes, single family homes throughout where you live, and selecting the ideal one will mean a practical, problem-free move-out experience and hundreds of dollars of savings. Book as far in advance as possible if you are on a tight schedule for moving out of your existing home. Booking towards the last days of the month often means higher costs and less availability. Giving your potential business two to three weeks notice will usually result in a reduced rate, and enable you to select a visit for the exact time and date that suits you.

Selected readings on US charter schools
The Classical Academy Charter School on Valley Road, received accolades for its academic performance by the JerseyCAN group. The praise is based on test scores received by the overall student body, its Hispanic students and low income students.
CLIFTON — No stranger to accolades, the Classical Academy has another reason to celebrate its excellence in achievement at the middle school level.
JerseyCAN, which stands for Campaign for Achievement Now, has recognized Classical Academy as one of the highest performing middle schools in New Jersey in several categories. JerseyCAN is the state's branch of 50CAN, a non-profit advocacy group that is determined to narrow the achievement gap and assure that adequate public education is accessible for all students.
"In New Jersey we see some of the highest spending figures [per student] yet have one of the largest achievement gaps," said Janellen Duffy, executive director of JerseyCAN. Duffy is the founder of JerseyCAN and was previously an education policy advisor to former Gov. Jon Corzine.
In New Jersey white students as a whole perform better on standardize testing than their black and Hispanic peers. Additionally, low-income students score lower than more economically advantaged students, according to the New Jersey Department of Education.
According to the most recent testing results provided by the N.J. Department of Education, which date back to the spring of 2012, 59 percent of white 7th graders scored proficient on the Assessment of Skills and Knowledge (ASK) Language Arts Literacy examination statewide. Just 34 percent of black students and 39 percent of Hispanic students scored proficient. 36 percent of economically disadvantaged students performed proficiently as opposed to 58 percent of their more affluent peers.
For some Hispanic students, however, English is a second language and therefore standardize testing in that category carries obvious obstacles. Low income students may lack access to tutors and other supplemental education, according to education experts.
The gap in achievement of the mathematics portion of the ASK is not as wide, but still exists.
Of the white students, 45 percent scored proficient, of the Hispanic students, 38 percent scored proficient and about 30 percent of black students scored proficient.
A total of 34 percent of low-income 7th grade students scored proficient while 43 percent of the more affluent students scored proficient. The gap between the percent of students who scored advanced proficient is larger, with 8 percent of low-income 7th graders scoring advanced proficient as opposed to 31 percent of their more affluent peers.
Classical Academy placed number one on three of JerseyCAN's top 10 lists of best middle schools by category.
The Clifton charter school received perfect scores in three subgroup categories: low-income student performance, Latino student performance and overall student performance.
JerseyCAN averages the math and language arts scores for each subgroup to produce their scores. To qualify for the Top Ten a school's student body has to reflect similar proportions to statewide numbers. For example, the percent of a student body comprised by Latino students has to reflect the proportion of the state population comprised by Latinos.
"Our method simplifies schools in terms of their performance," Duffy said.
Their Top Ten lists provide parents with a chance to compare certain schools, she said.
In 2008 Classical Academy was a national Blue Ribbon Award winner, a top prize among the nation's schools. A year ago the school achieved high status as an N.J. Reward school.
Vincent DeRosa, the school's founder, has also been the principal of Classical Academy since its first year in 1998. He credits the schools' vigorous curriculum for his students' exemplary performance.
"I joke and say that if I was a student here I would ask my mother 'why do you hate me so much?'," DeRosa said.
A student averages three hours of homework a night, he said. There are no electives but instead a more intense focus on math and language arts. Latin is the only foreign language provided, and every student must study it.
"We in America think the kids can't do it, we think it's too much for them," he said. "But it's not. If adults create an atmosphere that compels high performance, the kids will respond."
As a charter school Classical Academy and its administrators have more freedom to tweak lesson plans and curriculum than traditional public schools. DeRosa calls it a laboratory for experimentation and innovation.
"We tend to put aside non-academic pursuits during the school day," he said. "That's not to say arts are not important. We just have to make a priority. Our youngsters do twice as much Math and English than traditional middle schools. We still encourage extra curriculars, just as long as they don't interfere with school work."
DeRosa is unapologetic. His results prove that he does not need to be. He said that 85 percent of his students are advanced proficient in Math.
And while other schools trend toward a diversity of foreign languages offered, with Latin DeRosa aims to "reassert the primacy of a classical education," he said.
"It's a tool to master English," he said. "70 percent of English comes from Latin. English grammar comes from Latin grammar."
"If there are elements of our school program you do not like then don't choose our school," he said.
DeRosa can say that with bravado because spots are indeed precious. Each year he has about 40 vacancies in the 6th grade. Sibling legacies receive priority status and the remaining spots are filled with a lottery process. Last year DeRosa said 22 students ended up on a waiting list, with only a handful getting a spot.
Of course, the small size of Classical Academy allows for a lower teacher to student ratio and a tighter grasp of each student, DeRosa said. Currently there 118 students enrolled. DeRosa said larger student bodies make things "harder to control and harder to impose a culture," he said.
There does seem to be a high track record in terms of performance," Duffy said. "We've seen success in the flexibility these charter schools have in terms of specific curriculum."
Charter schools are technically public schools and therefore funded by taxpayer money. However, they are independent from the local board of education. They work with the State Commissioner of Education and are required to reach mandated achievement goals in order to remain operating. They were first incorporated in New Jersey in 1996 and as of September 2012 there were 86 operating charter schools in the state.
DeRosa said 65 percent of his student body is Hispanic. But one of his 6th grade classes contains students who go home and speak Arabic, Filipino, Portuguese, Turkish, Hindi and Guyanese, in addition to Spanish.
The Top Ten nominations received from JerseyCAN are not a result of a special approach but more of the strong curriculum and the diversity of the student body, DeRosa said.
"It is not that we are doing anything different with the Latino kids," he said. "We are not a minority school. I like to say we are an immigrant school."
Only Clifton residents can attend, DeRosa said, adding most of his 8th graders go on to Clifton High School.
He has a vision of expanding to the 4th and 5th grades.
"If we can get the kids younger, by the time they get to the 6th grade they are off and running," he said.
The academy underwent a $250,000 renovation prior to the start of the school year. The school is located on Valley Road in one of the oldest buildings in Clifton. Originally the estate of William Gourley, DeRosa said the structure was once a boarding house and a nursing home.
Despite his aspirations for a bigger school, DeRosa said the historic property combined with the recent investment means it is unlikely to switch to a bigger location.
"I'd hate to sacrifice this property," he said.

Many do not see it, but the first rays are appearing on the horizon. I am speaking of a new day for America, a surprising gift coming from my Immaculate Heart. This moment has already begun as I strip President Obama of his power and the darkness which he has cast over America. But there is much, much more.
As the hold of darkness is loosened, a new light will arise in America, a surprising return to its religious stream. Already the beginning waters have come and the beginning light has dawned. I speak so that the signs of this new day will be understood. People must know and respond. The churches must be ready. I will speak quickly to each group.
I want political leaders who totally protect the lives of the unborn. If this is not on your agenda, then I will not use you for the new light.
I want priests to pray with their people. Why are your churches closed all day? Should you not be there with your people, adoring the Blessed Sacrament?
I want people who respond to my initiatives. I am pushing back the darkness so you have a freedom but you must use this freedom to bring about a new day when the purified Church is again exalted in people's hearts. There is much more to say.
★ LOCUTIONS to the WORLD 7/2-5/14 ★ the future dismemberment of nations, Europe will be the next major target, All of this evil is satanic
9. Baghdad – Caught in the Crossfires Jul 2nd, 2014
- Mary
President Obama seeks a political solution to the problems besetting Baghdad. However, the President of Iraq will not go along and the two presidents are at odds. Meanwhile Iran, and even Russia, enter the scene while the invading armies try to strengthen their hold and decide upon their approach to Baghdad.
The people see these multiple forces, the invading armies and the division among the political leaders. They find it impossible to decide whom they should trust. The only know that they are in the middle of forces which they cannot control.
Such is the continual state of Baghdad, a situation that cannot be resolved. Who can bring stability and peace when there is fighting even among the leaders?
Baghdad is caught in both military and political crossfire. It also sits as a great prize, easily able to be stolen because not controlled by any one group. Its fortunes will continue to sink and its power to defend itself will slowly dissolve. Its final fate will not be decided quickly.
10. Finger in the Dike Jul 3rd, 2014
- Mary
President Obama will send some troops, but this is like putting his finger in the dike, a woefully inadequate solution. His actions will have little effect on the final outcome.
The region itself will suffer from constant dismemberment. Powerful groups will carve out their own spheres of control. Nations will break up and a new map of the Middle East will be drawn. All of this will strengthen the terrorist groups, who will act like governing bodies over a definite geographical region. This will prepare for a new level of terrorism all around the world.
I have many purposes in speaking these words. All of this evil is satanic and the Evil One has these powers because the world has rejected my Son, Jesus. The tide will turn as the world returns to the heavenly Father. World leaders so seldom talk about God.
11. Terrorism and Europe Jul 4th, 2014
- Mary
Where are the European leaders? I must speak to a Europe that has left its Father's house, abandoning faith and placing all its confidence in economic progress. I must say this with loud words.
You are in the direct line of fire, totally unprotected, a continent waiting to be destroyed and engulfed in the fires of terrorism.
When the terrorists settle into their new home in Iraq, after they have quelled any insurrection, after they have established themselves firmly, they will immediately cast their covetous eyes upon your riches, knowing that you will be an easy prey, ready for the plucking.
First, they will destabilize by violence and cast fear by their atrocities. The new birth pangs of death will grip your countries. Foolish children, why did you leave the heavenly Father's house? There is still time to return and enjoy a protection that will save you from the greatest sufferings.
12. Satan's Perfect Storm Jul 5th, 2014
- Mary
Satan has created a perfect storm. He has moved the most powerful destructive forces into a perfect place and he has removed all those forces which in any way would mitigate the evil that will now begin to pour out. The world has not as yet seen the explosion of terrorism in the Middle East. It is only witnessing the gathering of the fuel and the growing capacity to launch the fires everywhere in the world.
How clearly I have spoken in these locutions of those forces that are still hidden, but soon to be revealed. Therefore, my words must go forth to all the nations. People must understand quickly, even instantly, the hidden powers behind the events. This clear and worldwide knowledge will be the best antidote against the destructive fires that will soon be lit in every corner of the globe. Human intellects cannot cope with this perfect storm, which will happen in many situations.
★ LOCUTIONS to the WORLD 7/6-9/14 ★ These few people who control the finances of the world are the main obstacle to world peace, a new reality has emerged – worldwide terrorism,
1. The Beginning Words Jul 6th, 2014
- Mary
Is there no path to peace? All the exits from war and terrorism seem to be blocked. No safe haven exists. All can be set ablaze. Some would say, "The heavenly Father would never allow this to happen", as if relief comes without any efforts or that the sins of mankind which have created this situation can be instantly removed.
Certainly, a path to peace exists and I will explain the steps which must be taken. However, I warn you that many will ignore my words (as if they are not from heaven). Others will not think they need my words (as if the world will just continue to be safe). Others will believe that mankind can find its own way to peace (as if mankind has no responsibility for what has happened). Others will hear my words and postpone taking these steps (as if the dangers are far away and will not happen in their lifetime).
Only some will rejoice, knowing that there is a path to peace and the beginning steps (Yes, I will reveal only the beginning steps.) are within their reach. I speak for the benefit of these good people whose hearts are already fixed upon me.
2. A Blocked Path to Peace Jul 7th, 2014
- Mary
The path to peace is hidden from your eyes and the words that I will speak will seem like foolishness to many. Even those who love me will not understand them fully. Yet, I must speak now so that the words are recorded. Later, as the events begin, people can return to these words as firm guidelines to peace.
The problems of gaining world peace are quite new and different because a new reality has emerged – worldwide terrorism. Formerly, the various groups could be brought together to resolve a conflict peacefully, in the interest of both sides. Terrorists have absolutely no interest in peace. Their very name reveals their goals – to spread terror. They exist for war and destruction. Therefore, the usual path to peace is blocked and, really, does not exist.
Formerly, an aggressor was met with force and, as the force increased, the aggressor could be led to the bargaining table. But this method is not effective with terrorists. They are not a nation with national interests. They have no citizens to feed, and no children to protect. Their eyes are always upon what they can destroy, not what they need to protect. These are the difficulties in finding a path to peace.
3. Understanding the Evil of Terrorism Jul 8th, 2014
- Mary
Regarding terrorism, world leaders are in great confusion about the path to peace. They do not understand the way the terrorists are joined together or the internal forces that suddenly explode into external acts.
Terrorism is like cancer. The number of cells is so few compared to the entire body, but the cells are so joined in their evil power that they can destroy the body.
Terrorists are not joined in seeking good for their members. They look outward at what exists and they plot to destroy. They are willing to postpone satisfaction and even, in some cases, to offer their own lives to destroy.
In these circumstances, the path to peace is not clear. I must outline the steps because they are not self-evident. My steps are different. They speak of a different world. They speak of faith, of God's help, and of a new charity. Many will say that these steps are ineffective, but remember that I am outlining only the beginning steps to peace, the foundations that need to be restored. Terrorism feeds upon sins especially the sins of those who are fighting terrorism.
I ask the world leaders, "Are you ready to begin with your own sins?" If not, you cannot walk any path to peace.
4. The Few Who Control the World Jul 9th, 2014
- Mary
In seeking their own interests, people act immediately, but when thinking of others, action is postponed. Tomorrow seems acceptable. However, the time is short and the first step to peace is to pay attention to the great discrepancies between rich and poor.
I now cast my eyes to the greatest and to the most powerful evil in the world of economics. The entire world financial markets lie in the hands of a powerful few. For decades, they have tilted the world. Their money always increases because they control the rules and the regulations. Even elected leaders of great nations come under their control, unable to act without their consent.
From these few people come every kind of evil. They control world events for their own financial interests. They begin wars, destabilize legitimate governments and fund countless hidden, covert operations. These few people who control the finances of the world are the main obstacle to world peace. They want to bring about a one world order where their power is supreme. However, their fortress is not impregnable. There is a path to removing them from power.
★ LOCUTIONS to the WORLD 7/10-22/14 ★ Your greed, America, has fueled the fires & your weapons that are used everywhere. You sell weapons & then send your diplomats to play their chess games.
5. The Terrorism of Abortion Jul 10th, 2014
- Mary
I take you quickly into the very center of the darkness which has come over America, the great darkness of abortion. O foolish America, you build walls against terrorism while your own terrorists kill the unborn.
A darkness has been forced upon America, a darkness accepted and even canonized by your Supreme Court. A darkness that says a mother can kill her unborn son or daughter. I will say this clearly, "As long as you do not protect the unborn from your own terrorism, I will not protect you". You have brought this evil upon yourself. You have opened the heart of America to the greatest darkness.
There is a path to peace but you have no desire to walk it. Even so, I will raise up a new stream of life. I want political leaders to protect all the unborn without any compromise (as if some unborn are less worthy of life than others). I make this truth so clear. Protect all of your unborn and I will protect you. Abandon the unborn and I will abandon you. Why should I protect you from terrorism when you allow terrorism to go unchecked in your abortion clinics? I outline the path to peace but who wants to walk that path?
6. The Personal Road to Peace Jul 11th, 2014
- Mary
The more the world tries to find the path to peace the more confused it becomes. Its efforts bring forth few results and the darkness grows even greater. The heavenly Father has decreed that the path to peace must pass through my Immaculate Heart. He wants to exalt my Immaculate Heart and he wants all the world to understand the prerogatives and powers which he has placed there.
Although the path to peace cannot be walked overnight I must explain the beginning steps. First, the world must understand how helpless it is, that it cannot even find the path to peace, let alone walk that road. Second, it must believe that there is a path to peace and it can befound in my Immaculate Heart.
Peace begins with repentance. Each person must realize that they have caused division. Let each person examine their own conscience. Let them remove anger and dissension within their own heart. Let them always seek peace in their home and in their relationships. This seems such a small a step, compared to the long road to world peace, but the person who chooses to walk this road of peace, will be constantly lifted higher, be given greater power and authority and will become a great instrument of peace to many. These are the beginning steps.
7. The Long Difficult Path to Peace Jul 14th, 2014
- Mary
Many set out on the path to peace but are quickly diverted by selfish interests. Seeing advantages that they can gain, they forget the goal. This only hinders peace. When one nation or group takes advantage over another, this becomes an issue, an obstacle to peace.
No, you cannot take your eyes away from the goal. You cannot allow short-term gains to divert you. You must sacrifice all that is selfish to bring others to the vision of peace. All selfish interests which jeopardize peace must be set aside.
You can see the road to peace is not of one day or of one year. It might not even be of one lifetime. It is a long and arduous road, walked only by those whose hearts are firmly set upon peace. This is a path of sacrifice, of thinking of others and of seeking their good.
In this light, look at your weapons. This has been the false path to peace. Weapons, weapons, weapons. They are everywhere, even in the hands of children. This is my promise. If even just a handful take up this road of peace, if they do not abandon it, if they truly try to bless others, if they seek no self-interest, I will bless their work. All will see the great results. Even if only a small portion of the world walks this path to peace, I will keep them safe.
Some might even lay down their lives for peace.
8. American Arms Sales Jul 15th, 2014
- Mary
The diplomats get on planes. They travel here and they travel there. They talk and discuss. However, how many nations are ready to change their own hearts? To them, peace is like a chessboard.
Is world peace a series of moves and countermoves? This is called a manipulative peace, as if peace could be engineered or manufactured.
The path to peace is much deeper than diplomatic travels because the causes of war lie in a nation's decisions. World peace cannot be pulled out of a hat like a magician's rabbit and it cannot be brokered by astute diplomacy and clever moves.
People have memories. The sins of the past remain alive, powerful and uncontrollable forces which constantly boil over.
The world is now faced with intelligent, powerful, coordinated and growing forces. Satan has placed these in the hearts of millions. The fires you have witnessed are as nothing compared with the fires that are still hidden and these fires cannot be extinguished by flying diplomats. They are only fought by a complete turning back to my Son Jesus, the Prince of Peace. But nations do not want to hear these words. They do not want to hear about their own sins, their own fires and their own dishonesty.
Let me end with one single question. I ask everyone who reads these locutions to demand an answer. In the past 40 years, "How many billions of dollars has accrued to America by selling weapons to other nations?" Your greed, America, has fueled the fires and your weapons that are used everywhere. You sell weapons and then send your diplomats to play their chess games.
9. The Path to War Jul 16th, 2014
- Mary
It is too late when the fires of war break out. The task of peace is when there are no wars. This demands vigilant hearts, nations that are sensitive to justice, and leaders who are filled with charity.
If human life is always a clash of interests, a domination of rich over poor and control by the powerful, then wars are inevitable. These wars destroy valuable resources. The victor claims what he wants. The vanquished are worse off and the seeds of future wars are sown deeper into people's memories. Such is the cycle of war.
When I propose a different path to peace, people and nations cry out "unrealistic". As they reject my path of peace, only the path to war remains. The world travels this path so quickly these days.
1. Receive Without Cost Jul 17th, 2014
- Mary
In my heart are many treasures and I invite the whole world to come, seek and find. Even if a person searches for their own selfish interest, this is not important. I will grant their requests and will use this gift to attract them to my more important treasures.
Some will come to my heart, receive their gift and walk away. Others will come and receive their blessing. However, they will notice that my heart contains many other gifts. They will stay in my heart and seek my deeper gifts. In this way, I will attract every heart.
There will be a third stage when my heart reveals its deepest gift, a sacrificing love that serves others. This love is the treasure placed in the field, the pearl of a great price (which no one can really pay for but was already purchased by Jesus' blood). What a gift, the ultimate and greatest gift, to love God with all one's heart.
I will begin to explain the gifts in my heart and invite the whole world to come and receive. Do not forget. Jesus has already paid for them by his death on the cross. As the prophet Isaiah wrote "Come, without paying and without cost, drink wine and milk". (55:1)
2. On Shooting Down the Plane – Special Locution Jul 17th, 2014
- Jesus
You see Satan's evil, his plan always unfolding, always surprises, always much suffering, and always unforeseen ramifications. Some say that Putin has made a mistake but Satan has not. All is according to Satan's plan.
Putin will withdraw more and more from the West. As this happens, he will become more dangerous. These events show that the time is short and the timetable has again been moved ahead.
Putin will rely more and more on the spirit of nationalism that is sweeping Russia. He must show results to his people because they suffer from the sanctions. He must enter new alliances. Because the West is closed, he will turn East to China.
The downing of the plane will radicalize the Ukrainian situation. He is forced back to the table because the pro-Russians will be attacked and he cannot let them be beaten. They are his constituency.
3. The Trinity's Gifts Jul 18th, 2014
- Mary
When you seek the treasures in my heart you will find gifts from the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Father, who created, has placed the fullness of life. This fullness was meant to be given to everyone by Adam, the first father of the human race, but he lost these treasures by sin. So, the heavenly Father has placed the fullness of life in the safety of my heart, knowing that I would never commit sin and lose this life.
The Son has placed all of his virtues in my heart. In these gifts, each person can live as Jesus did, in perfect union to the Father's commands.
Finally, the Holy Spirit has placed his gifts of fecundity. By his power I was able to conceive. By the Spirit, new blessings will burst forth in surprising ways.
For many people, the Three Divine Persons are a hidden mystery, but if they enter my heart and receive my gifts, I will share with them the greatest gift. They will come to know and experience the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
4. A "Yes" to God Jul 19th, 2014
- Mary
How do you get to my heart so you can discover my treasures? You are already there because I hold the whole world, and every human person, in my heart. I carry all your sins and failures. I carry all your hopes and desires. Most important, I carry God's will for you. When I said to the Angel Gabriel, "Let it be done according to your word", I said those words for you. I accepted fully God's will for myself and for the whole world.
When Eve, and her husband Adam, said "no" to God, human history became a vast and resounding "no". Then, the light of revelation began, a beginning "yes" in Noah and Abraham and the prophets. Divine revelation came to its greatest moment when Gabriel revealed that God would become a man and I was chosen to say "yes" for the whole human race.
At that moment, you were placed in my heart. More important, your "yes" to all that God wants for you was placed there. That is my gift for you today. Do you always want to say "yes" to God?
Here, take your gift. I place it right now in your heart. Quickly, you will experience its divine power. You will be attracted to the light. You will want to forsake the attractions of evil.
Just say "yes" to this new gift in your heart. That is what I did all my life – a constant stream of "yes".
5. Past and Future Secrets Jul 20th, 2014
- Mary
In my heart you will find all of God's secrets. The Father has placed your secrets in my heart and wants you to find them there. These secrets are his plan for your life.
These secrets are both past and future. Concerning the past, they will reveal to you why certain things have happened to you. Some were blessings from God. Others were the results of your own decisions, good and bad. You will see your life as God sees it. This is a moment of great light.
Once you have opened and received this gift, the secrets of your future are easy to discover. In this light, you can see the path to walk. You must accept this full light about your past and, in this light, choose the correct future path.
After this beginning gift, there will be many more secrets, all that God has planned for you. These cannot be revealed until the conversion light is received and accepted. When Jesus said to Peter
"Come, follow me", he was revealing a secret that was important for Peter. Only because Peter accepted that secret and followed Jesus, could he receive all the other secrets that were in Jesus' heart, that he was to be the rock on which Jesus would build his Church.
All that God intends you to be, all the many blessings for your whole life, are secrets hidden in my heart but so quickly revealed if you but search.
6. Revealing God's Plan Jul 21st, 2014
- Mary
God's plan for your life is hidden in my heart, kept safe and waiting to be revealed. As you enter my heart, I will share with you my greatest gift, a deep desire to know and to do only God's will.
Before I reveal God's will, I must purify your heart of all your other desires, for if you cling to them you will not treasure God's plan. When you want only God's plan for your life, then I will reveal the first step.
You will see what you should have been doing all along. You will understand who should be in your life and who should not be with you. You will see the enormous amounts of time that you have wasted on useless pursuits. You will see the decisions you must take and those who can guide you.
As this light comes, you must act. Do not delay because I want to reveal the next steps in God's plans for you. As your mother, I do not want you to get lost on this road of life.
7. Every Needed Gift Jul 22nd, 2014
- Mary
My heart holds innumerable gifts for you. These are very personal gifts, designed by God himself to bring you to as full and complete happiness as is possible on this earth, and to eternal happiness in heaven.
You must search, not from time to time, but every day. Seeking your gifts in my heart must be your daily task. Why do I say this? All that you can become and all that you must accomplish on this earth is already contained (and paid for) in my heart.
Why purchase by fruitless labor what I provide as a gift? Why try to bring about in an imperfect way, what has already been perfectly fashioned for you and is waiting in my heart?
This is the mystery that I am revealing. People take charge of their own lives. They set their goals. They choose their paths. They give themselves totally. Then, they are disillusioned.
Years go by and they cannot understand why they feel so empty. They have constructed their own image of themselves while the true gift lay ready for them in my heart.
Seek everything in my heart. I will reveal to you what you should do, how to accomplish it, who will help you and how you can avoid failures. Come, it is not too late. Before you make any decision or take any action, ask me and I will give you the gift for that moment.
★ LOCUTIONS to the WORLD 7/22,23/14 ★ For every person in the world, Then, & only then, will I act. All the world will know that peace came only from heaven.
Events in Iraq and Israel (Special Locution) Jul 22nd, 2014
- Jesus
The path to peace will continue to narrow. Doors will close. Options will be taken off the table until mankind realizes that no path to peace exists. Even at that moment, I will not act. I will delay and delay until the whole world realizes that mankind is powerless and that no human force can restore peace. Then, and only then, will I act. All the world will know that peace came only from heaven.
The Iraq terrorists are cleansing the cities of all who do not hold their faith. They are gaining much ground. Even more important is what is happening in the hearts of the people who are not terrorists and have no sympathy for terrorism. They see the flow of the tide. They see what happens to those who do not agree with the terrorists. They see that America has withdrawn and will not come to anyone's aid, no matter how valiantly they resist.
An inevitability sets in. The people lose all hope and any will to resist. In this way, the terrorists gain far greater victories over the people's hearts.
Also, the impact of the temporary closing of Israel's airport cannot be overestimated. For the first time, the West has withdrawn. A message has gone forth and the Hamas have won a signal victory. They have accomplished by their offensive what had not been done before. People's eyes are open. Israel, with all its military might, cannot fully protect its citizens and its interests. The wound is not deep but Hamas has drawn blood which all can see.
Israel is rightly upset by this decision of the West. Satan has cleverly used the shooting down of the plane over the Ukraine to get the West to close down air traffic to Israel.
8. An All Encompassing Gift Jul 23rd, 2014
- Mary
For every person in the world, I have a surprise gift, which is not revealed at first. This gift lies deep within my heart and is given only at the moment when the person is ready to receive. This gift is God's most important secret for each person, the whole reason why God created them. This gift encompasses everything and carries with it the greatest of blessings.
This gift is the person's divine call in which God can totally bless them and bless many others, even thousands.
Many people never receive this gift. They have not searched in my heart nor have they cooperated with the earlier gifts. A few discover the gift but, surprisingly, they reject it (like the rich young man who did not sell all his possessions).
Some embrace their gift totally. They aid many others. Even generation after generation are blessed. You can see how important is this gift. My promise is this. Such a gift exists for every person in the world. If you just seek the beginning gifts, accept them and do what they require, I will lead you to this special gift that contains your identity, your fulfilment, your life's work and your eternal happiness. I want you to find it. I want you to accept it. I will then help you to bring the gift to fruition.
★ LOCUTIONS to the WORLD 7/24,25/14 ★ to a Church which has failed me, to world leaders who have deceived their people, to the rich whose gold has made them an abomination, to the powerful who have manipulated the structures of power, to the average Catholic who has been swept along by the world, to the little ones who need my encouragement & to you,
9. Treasures of the Kingdom Jul 24th, 2014
- Mary
I bring forth these gifts for everyone. All are included. My arms embrace the whole world and my heart has gifts for everyone, a secret that I am constantly revealing.
The heavenly Father created a world in which man had gifts that precluded suffering. Suffering was brought into the world by sin which caused the first parents to lose God's grace and these special gifts. Thus began the sinful and suffering-filled stage of human history.
The heavenly Father held on to his dream of the original creation. Jesus spoke of the kingdom of heaven and proclaimed that the kingdom was at hand. This is the secret which I proclaim. God has placed all the gifts of the kingdom of heaven, all the gifts that Jesus brought to this earth, in my Immaculate Heart. These gifts will do everything. They will protect, guide, purge sin, and lift to greatness. All of God's treasures are present in the kingdom proclaimed by Jesus and all of these treasures are in my heart, waiting to be given away. Unfortunately, many of these gifts will not be claimed even by those who love me.
1. An Even Clearer Word Jul 25th, 2014
- Mary
Many who read these locutions are surprised that I would think about and express my thoughts on so many issues. Am I just a heavenly figure? Did I not live on earth? Did I not conceive and give birth? Did I not share in all the sufferings? I am a mother, who takes everything into her heart and brings forth a wisdom. That is what I am doing and people should not be surprised. I know that so many delight in my words and anxiously await the daily locution. Those who read them all are formed by my thinking and I bless them.
Now, I will embark on an even clearer road. Up to now, I have revealed my heart. Now, I will speak my mind. No one will have to read between the lines or conjecture what I mean. The words will be both pointed and true. They will cut through the darkness and give light. They will chastise but always offer the grace of conversion. When I finish, no doubts will remain about where I stand and what I think. Let no one interpret away the clarity of my words.
I will speak to a Church which has failed me, to world leaders who have deceived their people, to the rich whose gold has made them an abomination, to the powerful who have manipulated the structures of power, to the average Catholic who has been swept along by the world, to the little ones who need my encouragement and to you, the reader, who are so anxious to find your way. To the whole world, I will speak my mind.

Conducted by research firm Aberdeen Group, Measure Twice, Sell Even More: Understanding the Role of Assessments in Sales Management compares best-in-class with under-performing firms, examining the impact of pre-hire sales assessments.
According to the findings, assessment users report 37% more first-year reps achieving targets compared with 'non-adopters'.
The research shows that 42% of best-in-class companies, 27% of 'industry average firms', and 15% of 'laggards' make use of assessments - drawing a clear correlation between their use and sales performance.
Perhaps more significant though are the evidence-based findings that using assessments can identify the correct types of role within the company for prospective candidates.
In the study, Best-in-Class firms were 14% more likely than under-performers (57% vs. 50%) to indicate that 'tribal knowledge' is formally collected and shared when new salespeople join the team.
Aberdeen Group mentions the 'millennial-aged' salesperson – someone comfortable with sharing and trading knowledge. This person is also social-media savvy – identifying new leads through social platforms.
There's another tie-in here with the role of assessments. The study finds that users have the chance to 'profile their external and internal applicants more thoroughly around their likelihood to consume and share tribal wisdom.'
The example given is a 'plays well with others' assessment. A candidate with a low score on this type of assessment could be a better fit for a field sales role – away from the team environment. This, possibly, is one reason why firms using assessments see a higher success rate in a candidates' first year. Less time is spent defining their role and place within the wider structure, and consequently they have a better chance of hitting the ground running.
Of course, as the study points out, these role types could spot that a candidate is simply not a fit at all.
Despite this clear benefit, it may not be felt by some of the firms surveyed. Only 62% said that they actually have defined competencies for each sales role in the first place.
This number rises to 78% among the Best-in-Class, who recognise the obvious difference between the skills necessary for success in the various selling positions they typically offer to candidates.
Finally, the study identifies that one of the inherent difficulties in recruiting and interviewing sales professionals is that they have a natural ability to spin, and sell themselves.
Using assessments, the group says, can help prevent situations wherein a candidate might be able to land an ill-fitting sales position.

Carbon fiber has come to dominate the high end mountain bike market when it comes to frames and components, and more and more brands are using it in wheels as well. Stan's NoTubes first molded its Bead Socket Technology design in carbon last year with the cross-country and race oriented Valor wheels, which we were impressed with in our testing. Now the same technologies are being adapted for trail and all-mountain use with the new Bravo model.
With an inner width of 26.6 mm the Bravo rims aren't as wide as many competitors, but NoTubes points out that bigger isn't always better. It claims that its sidewall shape offers many of the benefits of the wider rims, specifically increasing the tire's overall volume, without exposing the sidewalls or deforming them in ways they were never intended to.
Stiffer isn't always better either, said NoTubes' Michael Bush. While the concept of "laterally stiff/vertically compliant" has long been a cliche, NoTubes is proud that its carbon wheels offer competitive lateral stiffness while still allowing for up to 10 mm of vertical compliance. This deflection improves ride quality and increases speed, Bush said. The Athertons have been racing the Bravo rim design with a different "team-only" carbon layup this season with good success.
The Bravo rims will be available in complete wheels, built in New York, in July, in 26-inch, 27.5 and 29-inch sizes. The two price points are $1,575 and $1,900 depending on the hub spec.
Neo hubs
Also new this year is an all-new hub design that will phase out the 3.30 hubs the brand has used for years. As axle widths and dimensions have expanded and freehub bodies have changed, NoTubes realized it was time for a clean-slate design overhaul.
While the 3.30 hub shells are forged, the new Neo hubs are CNC machined from bar stock for tighter tolerance control and more adaptability—in case someone dares create a 153.5 mm "standard" in a year or two! The front hubs will be available in 100 mm or 110 mm, while the rears will be available in 135/142 as well as Boost and even 157 mm downhill versions. No 170 mm or 190 mm fat bike hubs yet, but it wouldn't be difficult to do, Bush said. While the end caps are still interchangeable between thru-axles and quick release skewers, the interface has changed for better retention, so they're not as likely to fall off on their own.
Also new are much larger bearings (6902 replacing the 6802) and a new four or six-pawl freehub body design. The standard Neo hubs use a 4-pawl driver with a 36-tooth ratchet ring for 10 degrees of engagement, while the high-end Neo Ultimate version has a 6-pawl driver for 5 degrees of engagement. All the pawls engage simultaneously for strength and durability, and the two freehub bodies are interchangeable, so you can switch from four to six when if you were to swap to a SRAM xD driver, for example.
The Neo Ultimate also sheds weight with a more heavily machined axle, shell and other pieces, and is available in a matte finish to better match the carbon rims. The freehub body is also silver to differentiate the models.
Both the Neo and Neo Ultimate will eventually replace the 3.30 hubs in all NoTubes wheels later this year.
The internal width of the Bravo rims is 26.6 mm. An earlier version of this post had an incorrect measurement.

Bhupinder Singh Hooda booked in National Herald case
Chandigarh: The Haryana Vigilance Department on Saturday registered an FIR against former state chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda for his alleged involvement in the National Herald case.
Hooda, who as the chief minister was the ex-officio chairman of the Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA), has been accused of illegally transferring land to Associated Journals Ltd (AJL), which published the newspaper, at Panchkula in 2005.
Hooda has been charged with cheating and breach of trust under the Indian Penal Code and also criminal misconduct under Prevention of Corruption Act.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Subramanian Swamy had accused the Congress president Sonia Gandhi and vice president Rahul Gandhi of conspiring to cheat and misappropriate funds by paying just Rs. 50 lakh, by which Young Indian (YI) obtained the rights to recover Rs 90.25 crore which the Associated Journals Limited (AJL) had owed to the Congress Party.
Swamy had earlier alleged that over Rs. 2,000 crore worth of assets also got transferred to YI, whose 76 percent of shareholding is with Sonia and Rahul Gandhi, while the remaining 24 percent shareholding is with the other accused.

Remember time spent with an accountant is an investment. So, how do you want to spend yours?
Firms hit by apprenticeship levy costs
Businesses remain in the dark about how to use the apprenticeship levy, 6 months after its introduction.
The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) polled more than 1,400 businesses and found 23% of levy-paying firms have no understanding of the apprenticeship levy or how to respond to it.
As of 6 April 2017, businesses with an annual pay bill of more than £3 million must pay the levy towards apprenticeship funding. The levy is charged at 0.5% of the annual pay bill.
Each employer receives an allowance of £15,000 to offset against their levy payment.
Businesses with an annual pay bill of less than £3 million can also apply for apprenticeship funding – but 66% of firms did not try to access it.
The apprenticeship levy represents an added cost for 56% of levy-paying businesses, who do not expect to recover all or a percentage of their costs from their £15,000 individual allowance.
Jane Gratton, head of business environment and skills at the BCC, said:
"The apprenticeship levy can feel like an additional employment tax, much of which businesses are unable to recover, and one that is deflecting training budgets away from other important training needs.
"Firms need greater flexibility on how they can use their levy payment and a system that is fully operational as quickly as possible, is simple and efficient, and enables them to access good quality training."

Sometime in early November while passing by Bryant Park, I noticed a mock-up Fashion Week tent. After a minor panic attack, I realized, no Alexa, it's not February yet; the girls from Sex and the City were shooting a scene for the upcoming movie. Stand down, Lipstick Jungle and Cashmere Mafia! Yes, the baddest bitches are back in town. Wanna see just how bad? Check out InStyle for a sneak preview of Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda, and Samantha's fresh fashions.
Day One
How ironic is it that I couldn't find a thing to wear throughout the week? There were mornings where I would stare into my closet with a glazed-over look, talking to it, coaxing it to magically put together a slammin' ensemble. Where's the Jane Jetson conveyor-belt closet we were promised would be a staple of the future? For yet another season, things have been so hectic that I've employed the assistance of Patty the Intern. While I tried to find something to wear, Patty ventured over to the Salon tent to make sense of the Duckie Brown show. Known for their psychedelic colors, menswear designers Steven Cox and Daniel Silver turned the volume down on both their palette and their music. Blaring tunes gave way to pure silence as models clad in narrow somber black looks paraded down the catwalk. The eerie quiet gave the procession a bit of a slow- motion effect. Then again, Patty herself is a bit slow. I finally settled on an outfit and made my way to Nicole Miller. With Joan Jett, Karen Duffy, and Nigel Barker in the front row, Miller channeled Joan of Arc for fall '08. Unlike the French heroine, there was nothing "brave" or "powerful" about this collection. In fact, a heresy against fashion was committed by way of the designer's patchwork black leggings and ultra-sized cocoon sweaters. The play on dynamic proportions and sudden rocker grit from Miller, known for her casual feminine frocks, simply wasn't believable. Later, at the Roseland Ballroom for the Baby Phat and KLS collections, Tyra Banks, Vivica A. Fox, André Leon Talley, Star Jones, Joss Stone, and Amerie were on hand to witness the heights of ghetto fabulosity. Oh, I'm not talking about the clothing, which was a hodgepodge of faux old-Hollywood glamour and customary poom-poom shorts. I'm not even referring to the proximity in which Kimora Lee Simmons's ex-hubbie Russell Simmons and current beau Djimon Hounsou were seated, a step up in contrast to last year's awkward negative-space adjacency. Instead, I'm dishing about the disturbing Kimora Barbie Doll dressed in a hot pink mini halter dress, black fish net stockings, thigh-high pink boots, and floor-length fur coat with leopard-print lining found in select gift bags (pictured). Um, I don't plan on poppin' out a kid any time soon, but she's sure as hell not playing with that hoochie. Barbie Mariposa, on the other hand, I can get into. Unless I have a son, because those magical fairy lights that protect Flutterfield will surely turn him gay.
Day Four
Looking for some midweek cheer, Patty headed for the tents where Betsey Johnson was celebrating the big 3-0—30 years in the biz, that is. Joan Jett, Tyra Banks, and Russell Simmons were among the front-row dwellers. The fashion veteran set the stage as if it were a beatnik bar, complete with bongo players at the end of the runway, Chianti bottles at the tables along the runway's perimeter, and models sporting berets (pictured). (Jack Kerouac, eat your heart out!) After the faux fur, leather, and fringe affair, Betsey showcased a retrospective of looks from previous decades. And then, of course, that cartwheel.
Day Five
Forgoing the confines of time, Cynthia Steffe creative director Waleed Khairzada opted for a "seasonless" collection where the layering of lightweight fabrics and leg/arm warmers prevailed. While I can appreciate the blend of textures and dimensions, Khairzada failed to come through on the "contemporary" manifestation promised in the run-of-show notes. Perhaps it would have helped to pick a damn season as opposed to being greedy and straddling them all. And can I ask, what was up with the back-of-house screaming louder than the music? "NEXT GIRL, NEXT GIRL! C'MON!" Sadly, the best part of the whole experience was the patent leather Manolo Blahnik booties. Nothing gets between me and my Manolos!
Day Six
Showing for their second season in a row at the New York Public Library's Celeste Bartos Forum, Hanii Yoon and Gene Kei of Y & Kei provided an enchanting Impressionist-inspired collection. What can I say? The duo consistently sends out the most striking prints and constructs the best silhouettes. Rock on with your bad Korean selves!
Since we're on the topic of what's in and what's out, have you guys been watching Project Runway? What am I thinking? Of course you have. The final five designers, Rami Kashoú, Jillian Lewis, Chris March, Christian Siriano, and Kathleen "Sweet P" Vaughn (who's already been aufed) showed their work to a packed house during Fashion Week. Heidi Klum, Nina Garcia, Michael Kors, and guest judge Victoria Beckham may get to make the final decision, but in my opinion, there is no contest. The Fierce Award should go to Christian because he's, well, kind of a big deal!
Speaking of judges, word around the Slant water cooler is that America's Next Top Model, now in its 10th season and back in New York City, is bumping Twiggy from the panel and replacing her with Paulina Porizkova. We're fine with the decision just as long as Tyra and Co.'s next move is to vote Marvita off our island! The contestant, who was cut before making it into the house in the ninth season, has found God (and a therapist) and yet somehow managed to pick a fight with standout Fatima. Let the catfights begin!
Auf wiedersehen!

Implementing Human Rights in ASEAN Countries: "Promises to keep and
miles to go before I sleep" by Li-ann Thio
Until relatively recently, human rights have not played a
prominent role in the deliberations of the Association of
Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Professor Li-ann Thio of the
National University of Singapore asserts that this is changing at
a rapid pace, although not in such a way as to justify the
creation of a full-fledged Asian human rights regime. In this
Article, she explores and critiques the cultural, institutional,
and economic factors widely cited as obstacles to the promotion of
human rights in the region, and argues ultimately for a subregional human rights system that can take advantage of ASEAN's
existing political infrastructure.

The Yale Human Rights & Development Law Journal aims to explore the
tension and congruence between human rights and development. There is
much discussion and debate over what these concepts mean and how they
interrelate. These issues demand holistic, cross-cutting analysis, and
so the Journal encourages writings that draw upon various academic
disciplines, such as political science, public policy, economics,
health and sociology. We
feature pieces representing the broadest possible range of
perspectives. We welcome pieces that focus on different fields within
the law, such as constitutional law, economic regulation,
international law, and institutional reform, as well as pieces dealing
with issues that arise in national (including U.S.), regional, and
international contexts, in both the "industrialized" and the
"developing" world.

Call of Duty: Black Ops is not just the best-selling game of all time, it's apparently also more addictive than Facebook.
I'm sure Mark Zuckerberg would take issue with that headline, but if you believe Activision Blizzard's newly-released quarterly earnings report, it's the truth.
Black Ops' claim to the "Best Selling Game of All Time" title is nothing new, but the document's "Business Highlights" section reads like a bullet list of the game's greatest achievements.
To wit: During the first quarter, Call of Duty: Black Ops "players have spent an average of 58 minutes per day playing online, exceeding the 55 minutes the average user spends per day on Facebook."
Additionally, Activision Blizzard claims that the game's playerbase was 33% greater than that of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 during the same stretch of its lifespan, and that the First Strike DLC pack attracted 20% more downloads than MW2's Stimulus Pack. Incidentally, that First Strike pack also managed to sell a bewildering 1.4 million copies in its first 24 hours of availability on Xbox Live alone.
What does this mean for you, the consumer? If history is any indication, it means you're in for at least a few more years of Call of Duty sequels, spin-offs and anything else that might be made lucrative by sharing the brand. Activision Blizzard is nothing if not thorough, and if there's money to be made by serving up military-themed gunplay every year, you better believe that's what it'll do.

Headteachers Welcome
Christ the King Primary School is a happy, friendly school situated within lovely grounds on the edge of Burnley in Lancashire.
The school opened in 1970, and has places for pupils aged 4 to 11 years. The majority of our pupils then transfer to the local High School, Blessed Trinity.
We are committed to providing the best possible learning environment at Christ the King to ensure that the achievement of every single child matches their potential. We have a team of committed staff who are dedicated and enthusiastic, and with a supportive set of governors who give up their time voluntarily to provide the strategic vision for the school.
As an inclusive Catholic community that promotes a set of values that are enduring and seeks not only to achieve excellence intellectually, but also spiritually, it is my belief that there is much more to school life than the rigour of school exams. At Christ the King we strive to nurture our students in order that they may become caring, compassionate human beings ready to make a positive contribution to the wider community when they leave our care.
The Home-Parish-School partnership links are very important to us and we aim for them to work in the best interests of your child's spiritual, personal, social and educational development.
I look forward to meeting you at forthcoming events and working with you and your children in the years ahead.
Mrs Catherine Barnes B.Ed. Adv.Dip.Ed.

City of London
Dominican Friars
Probably the most famous of all vanished Abbeys is that at Blackfriars in the heart of the City of London. It began life as a Dominican Friary around 1276 and became the largest Monastic House in London. The Dominican habit gave rise to their English nickname of Black Friars and the name stuck for this region of the City.
In 1529 it was at Blackfriars that the divorce hearing of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon took place. Ironic, then, that this divorce itself would lead to the eventual Dissolution of all Englands Monasteries Blackfriars included.
After the Dominicans were kicked out part of the buildings was sold to the Blackfriars Theatre which was for a long time the premier theatre in London and was eventually bought by the Kings Men who numbered amongst them one William Shakespeare.
The theatre, although it opened and closed several times, operated until the Republic when Cromwell, ever a misery, closed all the theatres. In 1632 another part of the old Monastery was sold to the Society of Apothecaries and although that original building is lost, the Society is still headquartered here.
In 1597 a new church was consecrated here, right next to the theatre much to the chagrin of the churchgoers. This was St. Anns Church and it made use of the remaining Monastery ruins. St. Anns became a centre for Puritanism and became associated with William Gouge, the puritan minister who, despite his frugal teachings, still managed to sire 13 children of his own.
All of these remains were swept away on 4th September 1666 when the Great Fire of London decimated Blackfriars. Only one tiny row of houses survived in the area.
St. Anns Church was never rebuilt and had survived a mere 69 years. Today only a few scant walls and remains of the churchyard are left to mark the site of three of Londons great medieval institutions the Monastery, the Church and the Theatre.
