Theological Reflections on Migration (CCME)
Writing in the introduction, editors Benz H.R. Schär and Ralf Geisler note that "theological thinking does not naturally put us in touch with the field of migration".
Migration doesn't occur in the indices of current works on dogmatics or ethics. This is not surprising where systematic theologians live in ivory towers, secluded from the needs of society and the plight of migrants. What is more astonishing is the fact that often even those within the churches taking sides for the migrants and refugees can easily live on a rather small ration of theological reflection of their involvement: usually their needs for theology can easily be met with occasional hints to biblical passages referring to the "stranger".
The collection of essays shows that migration is not a marginal theological undertaking but touches central points of every theological reflection.
What is humankind? What does it mean to be obliged to this God of the Old and New Testament? How can our confused human history be reconciled with a divine plan? How are theology and ethics related? And what, after all, is the task of the church?
The editors suggest that "migration is omnipresent in the Bible as well as in church history [and] at work in the shaping of theology itself", whether through the promise to Abraham, the exodus experience or the Babylonian exile (which forced the Jews to reconsider their traditional faith and make it suitable for their life in diaspora).
Jean-Marc Éla's essay Un Dieu métis [A half-caste God] observes "a shocking tendency to close borders as a response to the arrival of asylum seekers". This "crisis in the legislation" is driven by asylum seekers and an obsession for security. The essay insists on the importance of appreciation and respect of the stranger in the political realm, of reducing the fear of the stranger and thus of civilising the state and reinventing citizenship.
Benz H.R. Schär's Am Nullpunkt der Begegnung [At Zero Point of Encounter] reflects that the condition of migrants opens one's eyes to a very deep insight on humankind in general. Historically migration was the rule while sedentary life was the exception. Is our fear around the arrival of asylum seekers driven by the fact we feel the fragility of our own stable lives? For years western governments have irrationally tightened – in vain – the last loopholes of their legislation against the influx of asylum seekers. Why should there not be a covert action of a very prosaic 'grace' at work? In the words of Calvin: "The world is governed by God's providence – and men's confusion".
Amélé Adamavi-Aho Ekué writes about Negotiating Vulnerability and Power: the construction of migrant religious identity. She concludes that "migration will remain a global phenomenon of multifaceted ethical challenges for contemporary societies, and it has engendered a new ecclesial landscape". The individual and collective initiatives of migrant Christians are not only relevant for the understanding of the formation of migrant religious identity, but also for a wider debate on inter-cultural theology And the biblical narrative can serve as common point of reference, opening a space of reflection about the Word and the realities of life. She suggests that "the viability and sustainability of Christian migrant communities will pose a serious theological challenge to the Church and its vision of unity as the universal claim of Christianity will continuously collide with its multiple versions and expressions".
Athanasios N. Papathanasiou's Encountering Otherness: Christian Anthropology for a Culture of Peace begins by noting that Hans Andersen's 'Ugly Duckling' is "perhaps the most clear cut illustration of what it means for a creature not to be a closed, static essence". A case of not what-he-is but what-he-will-become. Similarly, the Christian perspective accepts both the notion of human nature, and the vision of a final, eschatological realisation of the human being. But there's a possibility of "desiring the Other, of opening himself up and communing with it".
Heinrich Bedford-Strohm's essay on Responding to the Challenges of Migration and Flight from a Perspective of Theological Ethics begins by noting that the highly contested political theme of "migration and flight" is "emotionally charged … and touches upon deep layers of human existence", so much so that it "elections can be decided by this theme". The essay finishes by highlighting the urgent issue: "we need to learn anew how to celebrate together with refugees and migrants". Not just rejoicing in legal proceedings or political compromises but celebrations that "create curiosity for the other person in his or her individuality [and] may even help to overcome the walls between the social strata". Referring to Penetcost, the author says this "inter-cultural encounter can become modern experiences of the Holy Spirit". Developing a culture of celebration and convivence with refugees and migrants "is a demanding and beautiful task for the churches" but a task that may perhaps lead to European churches truly becomimg "the salt of the earth" and "the light of the world".

When it comes to performance and roominess, Forester leaves other four-door family crossovers in the dust. From its four-wheel drive powertrain to array of technological innovations, drivers from greater-Kansas City region agree it's the perfect vehicle for traveling with the family.

Unless you've been playing Starcraft in your mom's basement without stop this week, you should know this has been probably the worst week for celebrities in the history of forever. The world is now without a comedy legend, a TV crime fighter, an infomercial shouter, and possibly the best thing to happen to music since The Beatles. Besides Disney Channel stars, of course.
I kind of just wanted to post this to write about how much of a bummer it is that Michael Jackson died. I was really hoping he would make a proper comeback with the This Is It concerts. He was even scheduled to make a new CD and a movie based off of Thriller! For those of you who weren't old enough to remember MJ other than his court charges a few years back, he was, but not limited to, popularizing the music video as a form of publicity, becoming the first black artist to appear on MTV, part of what is considered to be the first American "boy band," holding the highest selling record in the world, and, of course, was the creator of many household trends, such as orange jackets and the Moonwalk.
But what I think bums me the most, though, is the observation that a lot of people are going to remember him purely for his allegations of being a child molester and a plastic surgeon addict - and all of it based on ignorance. The reason I say "ignorance" is because, come on - you and I both know that if you are someone with such an opinion on the guy, you probably didn't bother looking for the evidence yourself. Just looking at Michael Jackson at a glance, or listening to what we hear on the news is not a great way to judge a guy. It really makes me sad that we're a nation based off "don't judge a book by its cover," when in fact we do it every night while watching TMZ or reading the tabloids on the net.
For the sake of boring whoever is reading this, I'll try to only cover a few points.
First of all, the molestation cases are extremely flawed. The first time Michael Jackson was accused, all sorts of things seemed fishy from the get-go. First, the thirteen year old that was reported of being abused never showed up to the trials - not even to sit on behalf of himself. Everything that was said about Michael Jackson didn't even come from the kid to begin with. His dad did literally all of the talking. And to make matters even worse, the court found a recorded conversation between the father and an anonomyous submitter which revealed how dedicated the accuser was to bring down MJ's career. The consensus of this message reveals that the dad not only held a grudge against the singer, but was jealous Michael's friendship with his son. Yet, Jackson decided not to fight the case any longer and instead agreed to just pay the family $22 million.
Most of you are thinking: If Jackson was innocent, why did he pay the money? Why wouldn't he just agree to fight this in court?
Think about it. Its a lose-lose situation any way you think about it. If he were to just give up and throw the family a couple of bones, all of this would end and further prevent the negative image this whole case provided. If he were to continue to fight, however, what do you think the public would say? When celebrities get in legal trouble and decide to bring the case down, they only hire the highest of status for a legal team. The media would then likely provide a story along the lines of, "Jackson is so defensive of this case that he hired the best of the best in lawyers, who know how to convince even the falsest of cases!" That would ALSO ruin his image. So, whichever decision he would choose, would cause you to think he was the bad guy.
And it also doesn't help that the second time he was in court that a majority of the parents who initially accused Michael Jackson of molestation came forward years later and said they were in it for the money as well. EVEN THE KID WHO WAS INVOLVED WITH THE FIRST CASE ADMITTED TO LYING ABOUT MOLESTATION ONCE JACKSON WAS DEAD. But, of course, many people didn't hear (or care) about that.
Second, there's the whole issue with Michael's skin. Countless people reported of how "only in America could a black man die a white woman." It is true that MJ did have a plastic surgery obsession with reforming his nose and chin, but the whole idea of bleaching his skin is incredibly unlikely.
How is this idea debunked? Think about this one too. Why would he want to bleach his skin in the first place? To gain attention? He wouldn't need any more of it, as his condition began occuring at the heigh of his popularity in 1986. In fact, popularity seemed to be the last thing Michael wanted - he even wrote a song called "Leave Me Alone" directed towards the press.
Okay, now that that's out of the way, why wouldn't he just want to "transform" his African-American image along with his other cosmetic changes? This appears to be super unlikely. Don't forget that Michael Jackson was one of the only black entertainers to gain so much success as a black man to begin with. Not only that, but he wrote songs about equality between races and has demonstrated through interviews that he had "a lot of pride and dignity" towards being of African descent. Now, why would he bleach his skin? That's like claiming Martin Luther King Jr. wanted to change into a white man AFTER he started his protests. See how much sense this makes?
Plus, have you EVER, in your life, heard ANYTHING about somebody bleaching their skin? How do you impose this would happen to begin with?
Truth is, Michael Jackson had a conditional disease called vitiligo, a problem that kills pigmentation cells in the skin. It occurs in both black and white people, and a number of famous people have it. You can Google up vitiligo and see pictures if you like, and you'll see that's how Michael Jackson did in fact look. Its speculated that the reason Michael also wore a lot of make up in his later years was because of the disease, which can cause lighter "spots" anywhere over his body and he wanted to even out his skin tone.
Well, that's all I feel like explaining. Even though I believe that the above thoughts were easily provable as false, I do think that Michael Jackson had psychological problems. I really think that he was stuck in childhood throughout his adult life, which is why he had a fascination with providing other kids a better life than he had (MJ was heavily abused as a child during the time he was in the Jackson 5). He also admitted that he became obsessed with his nose, as he was teased by his father about it. Another thing that seems true is his addiction to painkillers. Its reported he became addicted to them after his first court cases, and his parents wanted him to go to rehab for the problem. He never did, and although its still up in the air, it might have been what killed him.
Although there's a lot of criticism surrounding him, Michael Jackson is still undoubtedly one of the biggest names in music history. I just hope that he is remembered for his achievements rather than the bad... even though, you know, he showed us WHO'S BAD. (that was horrible.)
If you need some catching up to do, here are some of his best music videos that, if you haven't seen, you need to watch before you die.
The King of Pop.

|Looking out to the modern city of Jerusalem.
The western fringe of Jerusalem looking out toward
the valley where the Israelites camped opposite
the Philistines and their champion Goliath.
What struck me was the different narrative that comes from a Jewish perspective. It's not wrong, it's just different. The accents and stresses are simply put on a different part of the story. The question today was "WHY JERUSALEM?" We struggled with the ancient texts which never give us the name of the city until much later. We talked about Abraham and Rachel and Moses and Joshua. We talked about conquest and looked out to see the valley where a yet to be King David went to meet the Philistines in battle and took Goliath's head. We stood atop mount Scopus and where asked to imagine the Jewish pilgrim coming to Jerusalem and how the individual call to piety would be reinforced by his/her fellow pilgrims joined together by a single narrative. Coming to the Temple to worship the God of Israel.
All wondrous and true....but no need for Jesus! He was only mentioned in passing as that "other guy from Bethlehem." What's humbling is to remember that while I can't come to Jerusalem without thinking about Jesus; others have a story to tell that has little if anything to do with him. Their narrative is also mine, but in some ways I have to respect the fact that it is also self contained and can stand on its own. And I have to contend with the fact that sometimes the two narratives have different perspectives. Today we stood on Mount Scopus to look down into the Old city. The Christian in me so wanted to stand on the Mount of Olives, for a more familiar view. "Mount Scopus, Mount of Olives, all the same our guideproclaimed." Indeed much in common, but not the same. Similar view...but a very different path.
The view from Mt. Scopus with the Mount of Olives on the left and the tower of
Augusta Victoria's Hospital "Ascension Church" on the left and the Dome of
the Rock on the right. Kidron Valley in the middle. Great view... not my
my mountain!

Here is Sundays race report from Braintree regional.
Write is from BMX guru Jools Allen and photos are by-Peter Acteson-Rook, Miles Kirby, Evpike.
BMXTalk- This was my first BMX race in a couple of years and I gotta say a big thanks to Jools and the Braintree massive for putting on blinder, the track was in perfect condition ( until I skidded up all the lips and slowed up all the racing) the weather held up and everyone had a really good time…Cheers.
BMX East Race report
East Anglian Regional Round 1 – Braintree – 6th April 2014
The East Anglian BMX racing season opener kicked off at Braintree Bullets BMX track with an almost unprecedented 202 riders in attendance from across the region, the Midlands and the whole of the South East.
The club had spent their time the previous week getting the track prepared with 10 tonnes of new surface being laid to get the track in tip top condition for the meeting. The riders were also treated to dry conditions and the racing was top notch across all classes.
Myles Wildbore from Derby Ssquared made the trip well worth it in the 6 and under's as he romped home to the win ahead of Norwich Flyers Jared Hill and Rotherham's Rocco Brant. Dagenham's Ewan Munday was super consistent all day in the 7's on his way to the class win. Jay Drew from Redditch Premiers stole 2nd place away from the hard charging Joseph Brighty from Peterborough Phantoms in 3rd. In the 8's Jack Bowditch from Birmingham totally dominated the class with an unbeaten run through the day. Braintree's Eddie Cannons showed true grit as he battled hard for 2nd ahead of Peterborough's Joseph Carey.
The Cruiser classes were up next and the 9-12's saw Josh Werner from East Kent take a solid victory from Birmingham's Harrison Gee and Dagenham's Alec Munday. Michelle Eaton from Dagenham took the win in the 30+ Ladies class with Sarah Fuller from Milton Keynes in 2nd and Norwich's Abi Hill in 3rd. The rest of the classes were combined to make a brilliant class of mixed ages and it was the Braintree boys who rose to the top as Oli Cutmore smoothed his way ahead of the pack with ease to take the win from Chris Potter and Peterborough's Paul Maidment who made the podium after a harsh crash in the heats nearly saw him out of the competition.
Braintree's first win of the day came from Adam Gilbert who powered away from the pack to finish the day with a clean sheet. Josh Abbott kept the pack at bay in 2nd for Royston Rockets with Cameron Parrish doing the business for Braintree in 3rd. Seb Pantlin kept the ball rolling for the home club as he jumped his way to the front of the field in the 10's to claim the class victory. Runneymede Rockets Ben Curling made some moves to take 2nd with Alex Doree for the Bullets in 3rd. The Golden Ticket class for the day was the 12's and East Kent's Josh Werner stole the show and the money with some great bike riding to take the win. Birmingham's Harrison Gee took some big points back to Birmingham as he rode to 2nd with the home club's Tom Stokes turning it on in 3rd. In the girls class Abi Pike from Ipswich took the Suffolk clubs sole win with Royston's Harriet Alexander chasing her down in 2nd and Norwich's Evie Harding hot on their wheels in 3rd.
Open Gallery7 Images
The 14's had a strong national feel to it with the National Champ; Natham Wood from Doncaster on the gate and he proved he's worthy of the title with a strong win. The Braintree pair of Charlie O'Grady and Ollie Rowe duked it out behind wood to take 2nd and 3rd with club mate Christian White chasing hard in 4th. Cyclopark's Ev Tulloch turned on the style in the 16's to flow his way to the front ahead of Ipswich's Alex Pike and Merton Saint's Ewan Stark. Norwich's Morgan Dorrell was on fire in the 13-14 girls as she took the win ahead of Peterborough's Deborah Parrish and Drew Raven.
It was the veteran of the class who took the victory in the 17+ class as Lee Alexander fought off all comers for Royston to take the win. Matt Allen from Peterborough played it safe and settled for 2nd with his club mate Michael Ledlie in 3rd. In the Championship Women Kelsey Dixon from Braintree finished her day on a high note with a great lap to secure the win ahead of club mates Lana Redgewell, Isabel Potter and Meg Vaughan.
The big race of the day was left until last with the Superclass bringing down the curtain on a great day's racing. Off the gate Oli Cutmore from Braintree pulled like a train to lead the pack out with Peterborough's Jonny Hastings in tow. As they flew into the 2nd corner Braintree's Josh Butson made his move up the inside of Hastings to take the spot. Behind the leaders Josh Wallis from Cyclopark jumped his way into 4th past Hayes Hawks William Iwe and Iwe was also overcome by Braintree's Lee Golder who slipped a pedal at the start and had to fight through the pack for positions. Bringing up the field was Julian Allen from Braintree and Peckham's Aaron Massey.
The first of Braintree's summer series races is on Wednesday May 7th and the 2nd round of the East Anglia series is at Peterborough on April 27th. For further information on the club, coaching and racing please visit www.braintreebmx.com or email email@example.com

My friend and I stayed five days. We lucked out-our host, Yaneira was the best!
She is an excellent source on fun things to do, places to eat, and is very responsive to questions.
Cabanas Miranda is centrally located to many SW Puerto Rico day trips as well as very close to the beach. An hour from Rincon...Go there. This place is worth the drive from San Juan; it's beautiful country. In fact, I learned that the locals travel to Cabo Rojo on their vacations and you should to!
I arrived to this place with no problems later in the evening. I even accidentally woke up Yaniera when she was sick, but she was still friendly, hospitable, and more than willing to give me clear directions. The Cabins are cozy with balconies, kitchen, and multiple beds which are great for group stays on a budget. The next day Yaniera and her mother gave us many helpful suggestions on where to go around Cabo Rojo. I highly recommend this place.

'Wonkery Has A Well-Known Liberal Bias'
Paul Krugman:
Wonkery Has A Well-Known Liberal Bias: ... So, about wonks and progressive values: the reason the joke about facts having a liberal bias rings so true is that this really has become a defining difference between the two sides of our political chasm. On the right, allegiance to voodoo has become obligatory — leading Republican economists fell right in line when Jeb! announced his 4-percent solution. On the left, real policy research and political positions have marched hand in hand. The push for higher minimum wages, to take a not at all arbitrary example, has been mightily helped by the research literature showing that higher minimums don't cost jobs, a line of research pioneered by Alan Krueger, one of the signatories of that open letter.
And in general, progressivism in America has valued intellectual integrity and openness to evidence, while conservatism increasingly rejects all of that — which is why scientists overwhelmingly lean Democratic.
But what if the political left starts behaving like the political right, making support for implausible claims a litmus test of loyalty, declaring that anyone raising hard questions is ipso facto corrupt? That would become very uncomfortable, to say the least. ...
So I hope that the Sanders campaign doesn't just brush off this criticism as the "establishment" doing its corrupt thing, and realizes that it really is in danger of losing not just an election but an important part of what it should be standing for.
Narayana Kocherlakota (note that this is about "above-normal growth"):
Faster Growth IS Possible - And It May Well Be Desirable: Professor Gerald Friedman has argued here that, by adopting Senator Bernie Sanders' economic proposals, the US economy would grow in excess of 5% per year over the next decade. Previously, former Governor Jeb Bush put forward (different) proposals that he has argued would lead to 4% economic growth over an extended period. These kinds of growth outcomes are often dismissed as prima face unachievable given the historical behavior of the US economy. (That's one way that some readers have interpreted this letter.)
In this post, I make three points related to this discussion:
- There is no technological reason why real gross domestic product (GDP) cannot grow at 4% or even over 5% per year over the coming decade.
- Given (1), the relevant issue is: are the benefits of achieving such a growth path higher than the costs of doing so? I suggest that there are good reasons to believe that the answer to this question is more likely to be positive than at any time since the end of World War II.
- If the answer to (2) is affirmative, the question becomes: what set of economic proposals will best allow the country to achieve those positive net benefits? I don't attempt a detailed examination of the consequences of Senator Sanders' proposals or those of Mr. Bush. I only make the broad point that, given current economic circumstances, demand-based stimulus is likely to be more effective than supply-based stimulus.
My first point is familiar to all economists. Technologically speaking, the US can grow much faster over the next ten years than is currently forecast if two changes take place. The first is that Americans allocate a much larger share of expenditures than is forecast to physical investment (like hospitals or housing) as opposed to current consumption. The second change is that Americans work a lot more hours in ten years' time than is forecast. (Of course, the super-normal growth will be followed by sub-normal growth unless these changes are sustained over time.) Neither change is in any way technologically impossible. The question is whether they are desirable or not.
With that in mind, my second point is about the benefits versus the costs of a higher growth path. Economists often attempt to answer this question by referring only to the historical time series behavior of quantities (like GDP or employment). But it's a cost-benefit question - we surely have to use market prices. The behavior of the relevant prices is without precedent in the post-World War II period.
For example, the real interest rate is very low (and yet still seems to be too high to be consistent with full resource utilization). This price signal suggests that Americans are willing to give up a lot of current resources for the promise of certain future resources - that is, they seem unusually willing to forego consumption for growth. In terms of employment, wages remain unprecedentedly low relative to (average) worker productivity. This price signal suggests that there may be large net social benefits available associated with drawing many more Americans into the labor market.
My third point is about the right policy steps to take in order to achieve a higher growth path. Here, again, the macroeconomic circumstances matter. If the Fed and other central banks were well away from the zero lower bound, then I would be more favorably inclined to incentive-based supply-side interventions as the best way forward. But that's not the situation. Around the world, aggregate demand remains low. In Larry Summers' words, aggregate demand interventions like physical infrastructure investment may not be a free lunch - but it certainly seems like a cheap lunch.
To sum up: above-normal growth is always possible. The current data on market prices like interest rates and wages suggest that above-normal growth might well be desirable. The ongoing constraints on monetary policy suggest that we can best achieve that faster growth through demand-oriented policies.

Prioritizing Blogging
I am aware that every single blogger out there, even those that blog for a living, have to find the time to actually create, write, photograph and post a post. Most successfully do this at least once a day, some even twice! I do not even have the convenient excuse of having a child. I do have 5 cats, an out of commission Mendal (her back has been out for a few days now), and an awesome sister, Miranda, who is back with us for the summer. These things have all added up to me not taking the time to write up things I have made/done. I have been photographing somethings. Then yesterday I made an amazing tofu scramble with onions and red peppers and wrapped it all up in a fancy stone ground whole wheat wrap from Whole Foods and did NOT photograph any part of that adventure. Afterwards I wanted to kick myself!
This post is going to serve as a To Blog List. To keep me posting when:
1. all I want to do is hang out with my baby sis, because I miss her terribly when she's away at school (she just finished her Junior year).
2. all the housework overwhelms me without the help of my freaking amazing Mendal who is more frustrated than I am about her inability to move.
3. all the kittens demand I clean their litter boxes, feed them, pick up random hairballs, and wash multiple loads of clothes because one of our furry babies has decided to start peeing on the bath mat and that one time in a basket of dirty laundry (we have a few theories as to why, after 12 years, she has decided to do this, a vet visit is on the books this week).
On to the To Blog List!
1. Veganized Thanksgiving side dishes, yes out of season but Corn Casserole (or corn pudding to some) and Green Bean Casserole are two of Mendal's all time favorite dishes, they are her ultimate comfort foods and she needed them this past week.
2. Review some Whole Grain Vegan Hamburger Buns, very tasty and easy to make!
3. Sweet Potato Burgers were made and eaten and awesome!
4. The Cat's of In the CatHouse, this post will be written, I have started working on individuals Meet the Cats posts, but cant decide if I should do a short introductory post of all of them first. . .
5. Home decor post ideas, Dining room makeover have this started, not loving any of my pictures. Also Living room curtain changes, just need to actually photograph before and after, which of course means actually creating the after!
6. Some pretty sparkly jewelry I have made recently needs to make an appearance here as well!
I think 6 (or so) is a good starting point. Hopefully I will return tonight or tomorrow morning with an actual post about one of these riveting subjects!

HTC is gearing up to announce India pricing of its latest flagship smartphone, the One (M8). However, ahead of the announcement, NDTV Gadgets has received a retail packing of the HTC One (M8) the maximum retail price (MRP) of the device as Rs. 59,900.
Earlier that the One (M8) India launch is likely to be in the third week of April. This means we should expect to hear official word on the pricing soon.
HTC unveiled its One (M8) after months of leaks, at an event in New York and also showcased the device in India.
The Taiwanese handset maker though did not reveal the price of its latest flagship for any markets. The HTC One (M8) comes with a body that's '90 percent metal' and exudes the same premium feel as its predecessor.
The highlight of the HTC One (M8) is the dual camera setup that puts a 4-UltraPixel camera alongside a depth sensing camera that lets you do cool things like refocusing images after they've been clicked and other stuff. A 5-megapixel front camera is included as well. The phone packs a 2600mAh battery and supports Nano-SIM.
The One (M8) runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat with the company's brand new Sense 6 UI on top, which HTC is calling the biggest upgrade since Sense debuted.
The phone is powered by a 2.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, alongside 2GB of RAM.
The HTC One (M8) comes with a 5-inch full-HD display and will be available in 16GB and 32GB storage options, with support for expandable storage via microSD cards of up to 128GB capacity. It comes in Gunmetal Grey, Amber Gold, and Glacial Silver colour options.

We all dream of an unexpected windfall, and there may be no better way to kick start 2018 than with some extra cash to your name.
A treasure trove of forgotten cash
To begin with, many state government treasuries are filled with a trove of refunds and overpayments, unpresented cheques and even unclaimed proceeds of sale.
In New South Wales alone, the 2016/17 financial year saw more than 6,000 people reunited with a total of $15.4 million in unclaimed money. And there's plenty more waiting to be claimed across Australia.
Most state or territory governments maintain an online database of forgotten cash. If some of the money is yours, it could mean celebrating the New Year with the sort of windfall we all dream about.
Just this week, a colleague of mine did a search of the NSW Office of State Revenue database and found an unpresented cheque for $173 belonging to her grandfather. That'll bring some cheer to his Christmas!
Unclaimed inheritances
Next, head to the website of the public trustee or state trustee for your state or territory. You could have an inheritance waiting for you from a long-lost family member.
Some of the amounts waiting to be claimed are nothing short of impressive. In NSW for instance, a number of unclaimed inheritances are worth well over $10,000.
These sorts of figures are a reminder to check that your own will is up to date.
$18 billion in lost super
The real cash prize lies in unclaimed super savings. The latest Tax Office figures show there is $18 billion – yes billion – in unclaimed superannuation, spread over 6.3 million different super accounts. Some of it could be yours.
Speak with your adviser to organise a search for lost super. If you find some, be sure to roll it into your main fund to save on unnecessary fees and prevent doubling up on insurance premiums.
More forgotten money
Okay, if you're still drawing a blank on lost money, details of forgotten bank accounts, shares, investments and life insurance policies are held with our money watchdog ASIC. And it's not nickel and dime stuff either. Around $1.1 billion is available to be claimed.
Unclaimed money deposited with ASIC earns interest, so you could have a decent nest egg that you're not even aware of. The money can always be claimed – there's no time limit for the rightful owner to recoup the cash.
But why let a cent of spare money sit idle? Especially at this cash-strapped time of year.

The National Women's Business Council recently released the first of four reports to better understand literature conducted on women's entrepreneurship and capital.
The report, titled "Understanding the Landscape: Access to Capital for Women Entrepreneurs," illustrates the areas of future focus and gaps in literature for researchers. The report was released this March honoring Women's History Month.
The report finds that while women-owned businesses are making significant contributions to the economy, they remain hindered for growth by challenges in obtaining capital.
Key findings
Some key findings include societal perceptions such as an unconscious association that women in business have less credibility and lack legitimacy, or that female venture capitalists demonstrate a bias toward male business owners, suggesting that more female investors wouldn't close the gender gap.
Women's networks, compared with men's, have fewer viable economic resources; additionally, these networks have fewer relationships with financial capital—of those that have relationships, they are less beneficial than those in a men's network.
When compared with men, women business owners raise smaller amounts of capital and tend to be more dependent on personal sources of financing. External financing is more likely avoided by women, as it can lead them to releasing control or taking high levels of risk.
Local resources
OneKC for Women, an alliance among the Women's Employment Network, Women's Business Center (WBC), Women's Capital Connection and WE-Lend, provides resources and opportunities for women looking to achieve personal, professional or financial self-sufficiency.
Brande Stitt, program manager at WBC, said the challenges facing female entrepreneurs in Kansas City include low credit scores because of a divorce or other life event.
"In our experience, women often ask for less money than they actually need and end up undercapitalized. Women also tend to be less confident in approaching lenders because it may typically be the role of their spouse or parent who has applied for personal loans in the past," said Stitt.
With women-owned businesses accounting for slightly over one-third of the privately held businesses in the United States, the need for further research and support is apparent.
In Kansas City, OneKC members are pushing a variety of initiatives, including free counseling, via the WBC, for women seeking funding for their business and providing microloans to women who are not yet bankable. Women's Capital Connection provides equity funding to women-led companies (one of only 20 groups in the U.S. offering such a service). The Women's Employment Network promotes credit health with one-on-one financial coaching through their Financial Opportunity Center.
"Credit health is critical to securing debt funding for a business," said Stitt.

Facebook, Amazon, Google and Twitter All Work With Hate Group SPLC...
HNewsWire-The Southern Poverty Law Center, a group that pretends to out hate groups in society but that really uses its platform to go after and attack conservative outlets, is working behind the scenes to help the main social media sites determine which news sites to avoid.
Specifically, the SPLC is helping Facebook, Twitter, Amazon and Google decide what groups are hate groups — and therefore, what groups shouldn't be allowed a presence on the respective sites.
And the SPLC and the social media outlets are selling it as a service to society.
From the Daily Caller News Foundation:
Four of the world's biggest tech platforms have working partnerships with a left-wing nonprofit that has a track record of inaccuracies and routinely labels conservative organizations as "hate groups."
Facebook, Amazon, Google and Twitter all work with or consult the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) in policing their platforms for "hate speech" or "hate groups," a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation found.
The SPLC is on a list of "external experts and organizations" that Facebook works with "to inform our hate speech policies," Facebook spokeswoman Ruchika Budhraja told TheDCNF in an interview.
Facebook consults the outside organizations when developing changes to hate speech policies, Budhraja said, noting that Facebook representatives will typically hold between one and three meetings with the groups.
Citing privacy concerns, the Facebook spokeswoman declined to name all the outside groups working with Facebook, but confirmed the SPLC's participation.
Budhraja emphasized that Facebook's definition of "hate group" is distinct from the SPLC's definition and said that Facebook consults with groups across the political spectrum.
The SPLC accusedFacebook in a May 8 article of not doing enough to censor "anti-Muslim hate" on the platform. That article did not disclose the SPLC's working partnership with Facebook.
"We have our own process and our processes are different and I think that's why we get the criticism [from the SPLC], because organizations that are hate organizations by their standards don't match ours," Budhraja said.
"That doesn't mean that we don't have a process in place, and that definitely doesn't mean we want the platform to be a place for hate but we aren't going to map to the SPLC's list or process," she said.
Of the four companies, Amazon gives the SPLC the most direct authority over its platform, TheDCNF found.
While Facebook emphasizes its independence from the SPLC, Amazon does the opposite: Jeff Bezos' company grants the SPLC broad policing power over the Amazon Smile charitable program, while claiming to remain unbiased.
"We remove organizations that the SPLC deems as ineligible," an Amazon spokeswoman told TheDCNF.
Amazon grants the SPLC that power "because we don't want to be biased whatsoever," said the spokeswoman, who could not say whether Amazon considers the SPLC to be unbiased.
The Smile program allows customers to identify a charity to receive 0.5 percent of the proceeds from their purchases on Amazon. Customers have given more than $8 million to charities through the program since 2013, according to Amazon.
Only one participant in the program, the SPLC, gets to determine which other groups are allowed to join it.
Christian legal groups like the Alliance Defending Freedom — which recently successfully represented a Christian baker at the Supreme Court— are barred from the Amazon Smile program, while openly anti-Semitic groups remain, TheDCNF found in May.
One month later, the anti-Semitic groups — but not the Alliance Defending Freedom — are still able to participate in the program.
Twitter lists the SPLC as a "safety partner" working with Twitter to combat "hateful conduct and harassment."
The platform also includes the Trust and Safety Council, which "provides input on our safety products, policies, and programs," according to Twitter. Free speech advocates have criticized it as Orwellian.
A Twitter spokeswoman declined to comment on the SPLC specifically, but said the company is "in regular contact with a wide range of civil society organizations and [nongovernmental organizations]."
Google uses the SPLC to help police hate speech on YouTube as part of YouTube's "Trusted Flagger" program, The Daily Caller reported in February, citing a source with knowledge of the agreement. Following that report, the SPLC confirmed they're policing hate speech on YouTube.
The SPLC and other third-party groups in the "Trusted Flagger" program work closely with YouTube's employees to crack down on extremist content in two ways, according to YouTube.
First, the flaggers are equipped with digital tools allowing them to mass flag content for review by YouTube personnel. Second, the groups act as guides to YouTube's content monitors and engineers who design the algorithms policing the video platform, but may lack the expertise needed to tackle a given subject.
The SPLC is one of over 300 government agencies and nongovernmental organizations in the YouTube program, the vast majority of which remain hidden behind confidentiality agreements.
The SPLC has consistently courted controversy in publishing lists of "extremists" and "hate groups." The nonprofit has been plagued by inaccuracies this year, retracting four articles in March and April alone.
The well-funded nonprofit, which did not return a request for comment, deleted three Russia-related articles in March after challenges to their accuracy followed by legal threats.
All three articles focused on drawing conspiratorial connections between anti-establishment American political figures and Russian influence operations in the United States.
The SPLC removed a controversial "anti-Muslim extremist" list in April, after British Muslim reformer Maajid Nawaz threatened to sue over his inclusion on the list. The SPLC had accusedthe supposed-extremists of inciting anti-Muslim hate crimes. (RELATED: SPLC Pulls Controversial 'Anti-Muslim Extremist' List After Legal Threats)
Somali-born women's rights activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali also made the list.
Ali, a victim of female genital mutilation who now advocates against the practice, is an award-winninghuman rights activist. But according to the SPLC's since-deleted list, she was an "anti-Muslim extremist."
Ali criticizedApple CEO Tim Cook in August 2017 for donating to the SPLC, which she described as "an organization that has lost its way, smearing people who are fighting for liberty and turning a blind eye to an ideology and political movement that has much in common with Nazism."
Dr. Ben Carson, a neurosurgeon who is now the secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, was surprised to find out in February 2015 that the SPLC had placed him on an "extremist watch list"for his conservative beliefs.
"When embracing traditional Christian values is equated to hatred, we are approaching the stage where wrong is called right and right is called wrong. It is important for us to once again advocate true tolerance," Carson said in response.
"That means being respectful of those with whom we disagree and allowing people to live according to their values without harassment," he continued. "It is nothing but projectionism when some groups label those who disagree with them as haters."
Following a backlash, the SPLC apologized and removed him from their list. Carson was on the list for four months before the SPLC removed the "extremist" label.
Floyd Lee Corkins, who attempted a mass shooting at the conservative Family Research Center in 2012, said he chose the organization for his act of violence because the SPLC listed them as a "hate group."
The SPLC has faced tough criticisms not just from conservatives, but from establishment publications, as well.
"At a time when the line between 'hate group' and mainstream politics is getting thinner and the need for productive civil discourse is growing more serious, fanning liberal fears, while a great opportunity for the SPLC, might be a problem for the nation," Ben Schreckinger, now with GQ, wrote in a June 2017 piece for Politico.
Washington Post Reporter Megan McArdle, while still reporting for Bloomberg, similarly criticizedthe SPLC's flimsy definition of "hate group" in September 2017. Media outlets who trust the SPLC's labels, McArdle warned, "will discredit themselves with conservative readers and donors." Pamela Geller

Hot on the heels of the five-star Panasonic AE700 projector comes yet another low-priced, quality LCD-based model, the Hitachi PJ-TX100. In fact the circa $5,000 home theatre market is burgeoning and if you've been holding off making that big-screen purchase while you wait for prices to drop and quality to improve, now could be the time to pull out the plastic. At just $3,999 the PJ-TX100 offers one of the best price/performance ratios around.
And it looks good too. A stylishly sloping fascia gives the projector a modern appearance that should suit just about any lounge room. The design is practical as well: the ventilation grills expel hot air out the front of the projector so it can be placed on a shelf without suffocating it and turning it into a few thousand dollars' worth of molten plastic. A large lens is a visual clue to the rather decent 1.6x optical zoom the PJ-TX100 sports. This means it'll suit most room sizes and will happily throw a 100-inch, 16:9 diagonal picture on-screen from as close as 2.8 metres or as far as 4.6 metres. Optical lens shift is also incorporated, allowing the user to move the entire lens barrel horizontally and vertically to attain perfect image alignment without resorting to man-handling the projector. It's a welcome feature that when coupled with the superb zoom capability makes positioning the PJ-TX100 a hassle-free affair.
Hitachi touts the brightness of the projector as being 1,200 ANSI Lumens and the contrast ratio as 1,200:1. We didn't measure either but the 150w lamp pumped out more than enough light for most viewing situations, including those where it may be impossible to completely darken a room.
Contrast is excellent for an LCD projector, though still not as good as a comparatively priced DLP unit. A motorised, ten-step iris cuts down on unwanted light that may otherwise end up turning the colour black into grey. It does a great job, but like the Panasonic before it, it also decreases detail in darker areas of the picture. Sure it's a trade-off but only a small one, and colour reproduction and overall detail more than make up for the black level quandary. This is, after all, a high-definition projector capable of producing a 720p image thanks to three 0.7-inch 1,280 x 720 LCD panels. Even standard definition DVDs will take advantage of the high resolution. Old favourites such as Ice Age and Solaris (two vastly different films in just about every way imaginable) looked great. Finely detailed fur and the vividly blue sky in Ice Age was nigh on faultless, while the shadowy but impressively detailed world of Solaris looked great, even if there was a distinct loss of detail in dark portions of the screen. Skin tones were excellent and the film was eminently watchable. Motion lag was evident in fast-paced scenes, which proved a slight distraction, but there was no sign of the screen door effect unless you sat ridiculously close to the screen.
On the whole, the pros far outweigh the cons and we think this is a great little projector. The menu system is a breeze to operate (so is the entire projector for that matter), the remote is simple yet fully featured, image quality is very good and placement is supremely easy, thanks to features like lens shift and the 1.6x zoom, short-throw lens. And at just $3,999 it's an absolute bargain.

Chelsea news: Michy Batshuayi takes swipe at Antonio Conte over lack of game time
DORTMUND loanee Michy Batshuayi has taken a swipe at Antonio Conte over his lack of game time at Chelsea.
The Belgian striker has been in terrific form for the Bundesliga club.
His brace against Atalanta in the Europa League, including a last-minute winner, was his fourth and fifth goals for Dortmund.
The 24-year-old has struggled since joining in 2016, making just three Premier League starts this season.
In 53 appearances, mainly from the bench, the former Marseille man has scored 19 times.
That includes a title-clinching strike against West Brom last year and a dramatic last-kick winner against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
"I don't know if Conte was watching my game"Chelsea loanee Michy Batshuayi
Chelsea have come under big pressure this season.
Reports have suggested that Conte is set to be axed at the end of the season.
And Batshuayi has twisted the knife on the Italian manager by questioning his decision to loan him out.
He said: "I don't know if Conte was watching my game.
"Sitting on the bench, score a goal and then back to the bench is quite difficult to deal with for an attacker.
"It wasn't always easy at Chelsea.
"I'm now playing with a lot of confidence.
"They are focusing on the Premier League and have an important Champions League tie next week.
"I hope it turns out well for them."

Both Xbox One and Xbox App in Microsoft's Windows 10 have been updated to accommodate 12 friends in a party chat. Before this update, the maximum number of party chat members was 8.
An increase in Party Chat member capacity was one of the most requested features for Xbox One. It took a while for Microsoft to implement it, but we finally have it. "There will be no visible update for your app or console, it's all server side."
The feature is enabled on New Xbox One Experience Preview as well. NXEO is also getting a few new features courtesy of an update that should be live by now. Below are the highlights from the update release notes.
Party text chat adds more communication options. In the New Xbox One Experience, text chat joins voice chat as a way to communicate with your friends. At the bottom of the 'Your Party' page, you will see a button to 'Show text chat.' This will let you participate in the conversation. Party text chat will also come to the Beta Xbox App for Windows 10.
A streamlined Game DVR experience. We have combined the functionality of the Game DVR snap app and the former Upload app into one easy-to-use app called Game DVR. In full screen mode, you can use this app to view your game clips and screenshot captures. When snapped, you can use Game DVR to start or stop recordings.

What do the symbols in the graphic of the dynamic analysis mean?
The symbols in the DYNAM graphic indicate twisting members.
If there wasn't such an indication, it wouldn't be possible to recognize any torsion, as the members are related to the centroidal axis in the graphic. This is the reason why a short vertical line with small end circles was chosen for the graphical representation.
In the animation mode, you will see that these symbols rotate, thus representing torsions.

St. Louis theatre is awesome. It really is. It's vibrant. No two theatres (at least professionally) even try to do what everyone else is doing. It doesn't conform to itself. Every company does its own thing because screw conformity. Not everything is good (I honestly believe that's a good thing for theatre anyway), and few shows ever approach perfection (also good), but it's a genuinely exciting place for theatre. Why?
Here's a quick run-down of professional theatres in St. Louis:
A Call to Conscience
Act Inc.
The Black Rep
Insight Theatre Company
Magic Smoking Monkey Theatre
Max and Louie Productions
The Midnight Company
The Muny
Mustard Seed Theatre
New Jewish Theatre
New Line Theatre
The November Theater Company
OnSite Theatre Company
The Players Project Theater Co.
Repertory Theatre of St. Louis
R-S Theatrics
Shakespeare Festival St. Louis
Slightly Askew Theatre Ensemble
St. Louis Actors' Studio
St. Lou Fringe
St. Louis Shakespeare
Stages St. Louis
Stray Dog Theatre
Tesseract Theatre
Theatre Lab
Theatre Nuevo
Upstream Theater
West End Players Guild
So many companies, so little time…
Like I said earlier, those are only the professional companies (and I may have missed some…)! That list doesn't include opera theatres, colleges and universities, community and church theatres, children's theatres, or theatres for young audiences. Somebody once told me we have upwards of 60 theatres of all levels in St. Louis. I'm inclined to believe that number may be higher…
That's why I'm starting this blog. There are countless places on the internet to find information about theatre in St. Louis. There are the Facebook groups and pages and the myriad websites. Why add to the clutter? We are missing something: A source for news, for interviews, for profiles. We need a place where the audience member can go for behind-the-scenes stuff. Sure. New Line has their talk backs, but what about getting to know the actors and technicians better? Don't want you to know more about Rob Lippert and Taylor Gruenloh? I do.
St. Louis needs a voice, too. Not in the sense that we need to have a singular style. We need a voice, a mouthpiece to shout, "WE'RE HERE. WE HAVE REALLY COOL THINGS HAPPENING, TOO!!" That's the aim of this blog. To become the mouthpiece of St. Louis theatre.
How do we make this happen? Yes, WE. Together, WE can make this happen. I'll do my part. General theatre news will be posted as it comes up. Every couple of weeks on either Tuesday or Thursday, we'll have profiles of local talent, whether they're actors, directors, or technicians. Once a month on Fridays, check back the St. Louis Show Business podcast which will feature interviews with artistic directors, theatres, and arts administrators. This is only the beginning. Your backstage tour of the St. Louis theatre scene is going to get crazy. Keep up!

As my 2014 GSA was in the shop awaiting parts I rode my KTM 690 to the BeeCee Beemers rally in Nakusp, B.C. Slocan Lake was on the way. Beautiful area. Great rally, nice folks! Definitely worth a repeat next year with the GSA.

I was there for my tenth time this year. Had to drive out in my truck due to a badly sprained ankle, but had a good time anyway. It is a great rally in a great location for riding.

I can't wait to retire and have a fixed income. The one I have now is always broke.
You got lucky with that smoke free shot, Steve. Very nice, as always.
"When you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there."
Wow! I need to go to this next year. Would be a great ride with wonderful scenery!
It's really great to see posts from folks who have attended our Nakusp rally and enjoyed all the area has to offer. I was the rally chair for the Bee Cee Beemers from 2009 to 2015 when I had to step down for health reasons. I've attended lots of rallies in the western regions and still find the low key and laid back feel of the Hotsprings Rally really appealing. That location was originally found by Derrick Ward and he started many of the traditions we still have today. I took over in '09 and kept the ball rolling along with a few new ideas of my own. The bike parade down Broadway and then the Senior's sidecar rides have been going on for 16 years now and we donate rally proceeds to local and other charities every year. It's just a great tradition now and a great rally. The fact that you car ride in there from any direction and experience some of the best roads and scenery in the province doesn't hurt either!
Glad to hear others enjoy it as much as I do!

Not only is this rally one of our favorites for great friends, gourmet food, and entertainment, but getting there is so much fun!

Berardinelli, Internet Critic Full ReviewAbove Average It's a tease: worthwhile in some ways but ultimately too diluted to offer a fulfilling movie-going experience.
Roger Ebert Full ReviewBelow Average It's tempting to diagnose 'Are You Here' with schizophrenic genre disorder. But that just sounds like an excuse to cover up what it really is, an unmitigated mess that feels the need to present yet more iterations of that tired Hollywood species known as man-child run-amok-ous.
