The Security Measurement System (SMS) website now incorporates the enhancements recently announced, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration said Aug. 4.
Among the major changes to the display is the incorporation into one display information previously available only by visiting multiple websites: Compliance, Safety, Accountability program data, safety ratings, and licensing and insurance. The website also displays the Behavior Analysis & Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs) in the order, left to right, that FMCSA has determined are most associated with likelihood of crashes.
FMCSA generally confirmed all of the changes it proposed in November, but it also adopted a few other significant modifications. For example, the agency now is providing carriers with their own Inspection Selection System (ISS) information, including the ISS score, inspection recommendations and the basis for the recommendations.
FMCSA has scheduled two additional educational webinars on Aug. 28 to review the SMS display changes as well as the new policy on handling adjudicated citations, which applies to inspections conducted on or after Aug. 23. Advance registration for the webinars is required; the earlier session appears to be oversubscribed already, but the presentation will be archived and available later on the CSA website.
Even though several organizations have objected to any distribution of SMS data they deem to be flawed, the changes generally have been viewed as an improvement within that context. But at least one group, the Alliance for Safe, Efficient and Competitive Truck Transportation (ASECTT), last week argued that the new display exacerbates one of the group's biggest concerns: Relying on flawed SMS data as a de facto safety rating.
"The public, shippers and brokers including plaintiff's bar, with a click of the mouse will be able to see a listing of all carriers with better percentile rankings than their preferred carrier vendor in each of the BASICs," ASECTT said in an Aug. 1 blog post. The new display will make it easier for plaintiffs to argue that shippers and brokers were negligent in not selecting the safest carrier available based on a listing of all competitors by percentile rankings and peer groups, ASECTT said.
If there is any upside to the new display it is the transparency it introduces into problems with SMS, ASECTT said. "Now that all of the data of all of the peer groups will apparently be made public, the harsh reality of the system's basic flaws and inequity will be clear for all to see."

Water and carbon footprint improvement for dried tomato value chain.
The water and carbon footprint of the presented dried tomato value chain is compared to the conventional process. The coupling of pre- and post-harvest processes, namely growing and drying respectively, is analyzed for resource consumption optimization. The growing system of tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicon L. cv, Pannovy) in an energy efficient greenhouse (operating as a solar thermal collector) is databased; while the post-harvest process consists of a model-based solar drying system. The thermodynamic operation zones (temperature, humidity and enthalpy) are detailed to apply energy interaction between both processes. The results of the monthly record of a season show that the water footprint was reduced from 91 to 51.1 L kg−1 with a standard deviation from 53.2 to 12.4 L kg−1. The carbon footprint was reduced from 40.2 to 11 kg kg−1 with a standard deviation from 23.9 to 11.4 kg carbon dioxide kg−1. From the observed variation from monthly values, the relevance of the seasonal effect on resources needed for implementing process improvements is highlighted. The use of renewable energy and energy efficiency concepts is shown to have a positive impact when applied at industrial level in 'compound industries' that share sub-processes in the value chains.

BALTIMORE — For more than a decade, Priscilla Lollar struggled to face the realization that her son had been killed in a brawl outside an Atlanta nightclub.
But these days, her emotions are raw again, as one of the men charged in the slaying — Baltimore Ravens star Ray Lewis — attracts national attention for his impending retirement and the team's playoff run.
The brawl in the early morning hours of Jan. 31, 2000, left two young men from Akron, Ohio, dead from stab wounds. Lewis and two acquaintances were charged with murder, but the charge against Lewis was reduced to a less serious one in a plea deal, and his co-defendants were acquitted.
Lewis will retire after the playoffs as the most popular Raven in team history. But his legacy — Super Bowl MVP, one of the National Football League's best linebackers, two-time defensive player of the year — will include the footnote of the murder charges. Fans of opposing teams have taunted him by calling him a murderer, and some in the news media are discussing the case again.
Hyperbole over the incident has lessened, but may never fade. News outlets, including National Public Radio, the Orlando Sentinel and the popular sports website Deadspin, have written about it recently in light of Lewis' looming retirement. Opinions cover a wide spectrum, from those who say Lewis should no longer be tied to the murders to those who say the crime victims should not be forgotten.
Lewis and his teammates have said the experience matured him and made him eager to give back to the community. "Not only did it have a profound effect on the player he became, but it had a profound effect on the person he became," former teammate Shannon Sharpe said, noting Lewis' charitable work.
Lewis would not comment recently when asked about the incident. His trial attorney, Max Richardson, said this week that it should be left in the past because his client's name was cleared.
But if Lewis will be remembered as a hero by many fans in Baltimore and around the nation — his No. 52 has been the top-selling NFL jersey recently — in Akron, Priscilla Lollar tries to move on without thinking about him.
"I never did acknowledge (my son) being dead until last year," she said this week. "I wouldn't have wanted to live. I always felt that he was in Atlanta and he would be home soon and would call me soon. It was like that for years."
The Lollars have not been able to watch Lewis play on TV, and they maintain that his money and power gave him an advantage at trial.
"How can you understand something that is senseless?" Priscilla Lollar said. "There was no justice in anything. …"
Thirteen years ago this month, Lewis and his friends were celebrating at a posh nightclub after Super Bowl XXXIV, won by the St. Louis Rams over the Tennessee Titans.
The group included Joseph Sweeting, 34, a music producer and promoter whom Lewis knew from his time at the University of Miami, and Reginald Oakley, 31, a former barber from Baltimore.
Richard Lollar and Jacinth Baker, childhood friends who had moved from Akron to the Atlanta area, were also partying at the Cobalt Lounge.
The two groups spilled out onto the streets about 3:30 a.m., and a member of Baker and Lollar's group traded words with Oakley.
"A Moet bottle smashed into the side of my head. … I swung and he swung back and all hell broke loose around us," Oakley wrote in "Memories of Murder," a self-published book whose account mirrors trial testimony about the start of the street fight.
Amid the brawl, Lollar and Baker were stabbed and bled to death on the street. Someone fired shots at Lewis' limo as his group sped away.
Police arrested Lewis before the day was over, and the linebacker cried as he was read his rights.
Priscilla Lollar remembers her son as a creative child who liked to draw and sing. The oldest of nine, he was a talented barber whose brothers and sisters looked up to him, she said.
"You just wouldn't believe it," she said. "People would come for him to cut their hair, I would listen to them offering him $100 just to give them a fade."
Atlanta was supposed to be a new start for Baker and Lollar. Lollar had pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor charges of marijuana possession. At the time of his death, Baker was being sought by police on charges of possession of cocaine and driving with an open container of alcohol; he had previously pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of improperly handling a firearm.
Lollar was 24 when he was killed, Baker just 21. Lollar had gone to Atlanta to work as a barber in a friend's shop, part of a wave of Akron men who went to the city at that time, his mother said. Richard's fiancee was pregnant, and his daughter, India, was born a couple of months after his death.
Baker's parents died before he was killed; an aunt, Vondie Boykin, declined to be interviewed about the brawl and its aftermath.
Priscilla Lollar said both families, and the mother of Richard's daughter, are trying to move on. They still don't know exactly what happened that night.
"I was in the dark on a lot of things," said Lollar. She said she did not attend the trial, although other members of the family went.
The trial in Fulton County did not go well for prosecutors. Some outside experts said at the time that the prosecution was sloppy and the charges against Lewis, Sweeting and Oakley had been rushed. Others noted that witnesses had changed their stories.
Two weeks into the trial, prosecutors agreed to drop the murder charges against Lewis if he would plead guilty to a charge of obstruction of justice and testify against Sweeting and Oakley, who had criminal records that included convictions for theft, burglary and resisting arrest. The obstruction-of-justice charge was related to Lewis' telling those who left in the limo after the fight that they should keep quiet about the incident.
Lewis testified that he tried to stop the fight and that Sweeting and Oakley bought knives the day before they ended up at the nightclub. Lewis testified that he asked Oakley later what happened. "I said this is all on me," Lewis told the court. "My career is over because you guys tripping."
After less than six hours of deliberation, the jury acquitted Sweeting and Oakley; neither man could be reached for comment for this article. Lewis had a year of probation for the misdemeanor charge and was fined $250,000 by the National Football League for violating its conduct policy.
Sharpe, a Hall of Famer who joined the Ravens soon after Lewis was arrested, said this week that the two talked on numerous occasions that year about the experience.
"I'm sure he felt bad that two men lost their lives, tragically," Sharpe said. "His name will forever be attached to that. I told him … a great portion of people will always remember you for what transpired in Atlanta; you can't change that, no matter if you win 10 Super Bowls."
Faye Lollar, Richard's aunt, says of Lewis: "I had to forgive him to start my life and live my life. Richard was a big part of our lives, for him to be taken so harsh, it was just devastating. Everybody's trying to go on with their lives. Ray don't even cross our minds."
Priscilla Lollar says justice will come eventually. "I trust in God that he's going to take care of it," she said. "I can't do nothing about it."
A few years after the incident, Lewis settled civil lawsuits with both families. Richard Lollar's daughter received about $1 million, according to news reports; the Bakers' settlement was not disclosed publicly. Police consider the case closed.
Lewis helped lead the Ravens to a Super Bowl win in the season that followed the trial, and he has been widely praised for his charitable work. His Ray Lewis 52 Foundation has, among other things, distributed food and school supplies to Baltimore families.
Ravens senior vice president of public and community relations Kevin Byrne declined to comment this week about the Atlanta incident, saying that the case has been resolved.
When approached in the team locker room after practice Thursday by a USA Today reporter, Lewis wasn't happy about the topic being broached. He declined to discuss it, saying, "Really, really. Why would I talk about that? That was 13 years ago."
In a 2010 interview with the Baltimore Sun, however, Lewis opened up about the killings.
"I'm telling you, no day leaves this Earth without me asking God to ease the pain of anybody who was affected by that whole ordeal," he said. "He's a God who tests people — not that he put me in that situation, because he didn't make me go nowhere. I put myself in that situation.
"But if I had to go through all of that over again … I wouldn't change a thing. Couldn't. The end result is who I am now."
Former teammate Sharpe noted that Disney, the company that passed over Lewis for a Super Bowl MVP commercial in 2001, is involved in a post-retirement deal with him. ESPN, a Disney subsidiary, will hire Lewis as an NFL commentator, according to news reports.
"That shows you how someone can rehabilitate their life," Sharpe said. "I'm sure there are some people that still dislike Ray for what transpired in Atlanta, but I know a different Ray Lewis."

Winnipeg nightclub blasted for blackface photo
Winnipeg nightclub removes promotional photo that shows man's face painted black
A photograph of a Winnipeg nightclub patron's Halloween costume has been shared hundreds of times on social media, mostly by people who criticize it as racist.
A picture of a young man wearing blackface was initially posted on Facebook over the weekend as a promotional photo for Stereo Nightclub.
The club has since removed the photo in question, but James Van Deventer has shared a screen grab of it because he says he's baffled by what he saw.
"I'm glad they took it down, but there's so many layers to this," Van Deventer told CBC News on Monday.
"Yeah, this guy was a goof for doing it, but why did the establishment let him in?"
Van Deventer also couldn't understand why the bar chose to post the photo online.
"I was offended for the fact this guy was in blackface, but I'm sure there were hundreds of other people there. Why did they think this was a good idea?" he said.
We're upset about it, and we apologize profusely…. The employee will be reprimanded for a horrendous lapse in judgment.- Canad Inns CEO Paul Robson
In a message left with CBC News late Monday night, the chief executive officer of Canad Inns, Stereo Nightclub's parent company, said the photo was taken down because it was inappropriate and offensive.
"We're upset about it, and we apologize profusely," said Paul Robson. "The employee will be reprimanded for a horrendous lapse in judgment."
Charmaine Nelson says for black people, blackface is offensive in the same way a Nazi swastika is for Jewish people.
Nelson, an associate professor at McGill University who has written extensively on race and representation, said blackface has troubling and violent roots with 19th-century minstrel shows.
She said such shows, which gained popularity after slavery was abolished in the United States, were a nostalgic celebration of slavery and dehumanized black people for entertainment.
Even today, blackface can send a message to black people that they aren't welcome, said Nelson.
Van Deventer, who had called on the club to apologize, said he's still surprised the photo was posted in the first place.
"It could have even been a lot nastier. I'm surprised nothing happened to this guy," he said.
Van Deventer said he's also discouraged that not everyone who shared the photo on Facebook believes there was a problem.

Tour Saihō-ji (Moss Temple), a UNESCO World Heritage Site
Amazing temple famous for its exquisite moss garden; the ~2 hour experience allows one to get immersed in its serene zen aesthetic, and during the autumn season when I went the colours of the autumn foliage made for a nice contrast with the lush greens of the many moss varieties. Tokie was very helpful with handling admin issues and my guide on the day Yoko was knowledgeable and accommodating. Definitely a must do for anyone interested in Japanese history or culture, or Kyoto specifically.
Half-day Morning Walking Tour of Nara from Kyoto by Train
Hiro was a fantastic guide! This tour was informative, fun, and relaxed. The built in cost of tickets as well as a couple of short breaks made this casual tour very enjoyable. Hiro was even kind enough to document our tour in photos and send them to us via email! We would strongly recommend it!
Walk around the Wazuka Tea farm in Kyoto!
Beautifull place and we lurned a lot. Really nice experience and people! It s something that you have to do....
They love what they are doing and you can feel it!!!
Enjoy Private tour to Kyoto Arashiyama Bamboo and Tenryuji
We started with our guide meeting us at the hotel, which really helped us with the trains and buses. The gardens, shines and temples we visited were beautiful. We did a little shopping and were shown a lovely restaurant which had lots of dining options. Would recommend.
1 Day Tour Around Historical Sites in Kyoto
Haruka T is incredibly professional and personally delightful. She is extremely knowledgeable and a fantastic guide. Haruka patiently crafted an itinerary based on my interests and it being my first time in Kyoto. Her lunch and dinner recommendations were PHENOMENAL. Haruka was extremely mindful of my advance requests (what I wanted to see, experience and eat), as well as the requests I made on the fly / the day of.
We spent an entire day exploring Kyoto at a great pace, and I could have easily spent several more. I highly recommend booking time with Haruka if you want an expert guide, who is fun and easy to spend time with.
Thank you to Voyagin and Haruka for helping make my first time in Kyoto such a good, happy and memorable one.

By David Walsh
In the early 90s my endless search for technological satisfaction resulted in me adorning my stereo with a five CD changer, and it had a shuffle mode. It would occasionally play songs twice in a row, the programmer of its shuffle mode model having, presumably, used a die for a model, not a deck of cards. But that didn't matter much, I was happy to listen to songs from the Velvet Underground's Loaded – the one album that was perpetually on the CD player – over and over again.
Oh I do believe
You are what you perceive
What comes is better than what came before
Can that still be true, now that we don't have Lou?
On the same album he gave us some sage advice on how to pick up famous actors, advice more relevant today than ever. Just persevere with your obsession until the object of your desires is old and fat, then they'll be 'Over the hill right… and looking for love'.
We never got Lou to a MOFO but we did get his Velvet Underground colleague, John Cale. He concluded a tremendous gig with a Velvets song, penned by Lou, the dark but potent Venus In Furs. A friend commented to me, with a tear in his eye, that he loved the new Hobart, because it reminded him of the old New York.
I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears
Among my favourite albums is the Lou and John Cale record Songs For Drella, wherein they dissect their relationship with Andy Warhol, and find themselves wanting.
And then I saw Lou
I'm so mad at him
Lou Reed got married and didn't invite me
I mean is it because he thought I'd bring too many people
I don't get it
Could have at least called
I mean he's doing so great
Why doesn't he call me?
It is great art, I think, to look through others' eyes and see yourself. And when those others' eyes are Andy Warhol's, then it is great pop art.
The trouble with a classicist he looks at the sky
He doesn't ask why, he just paints a sky
The trouble with an impressionist, he looks at a log
And he doesn't know who he is, standing, staring, at this log…
I like the druggy downtown kids who spray paint walls and trains
I like their lack of training, their primitive technique
I think sometimes it hurts you when you stay too long in school
I think sometimes it hurts you when you're afraid to be called a fool
There were many other albums and many other moments. A decade before, but still a late discovery, I played The Velvet Underground & Nico until my record player's fingers bled. It didn't make me a junkie, but I learned some of the attractions of dissolving.
Ah, when the heroin is in my blood
And that blood is in my head
And thank God that I'm as good as dead
And thank your God that I'm not aware
And thank God that I just don't care
In the end heroin, and alcohol, and being born over seventy years ago, killed him. About others I sometimes say it is tremendous good fortune to have the opportunity to die, because that means that one has had the tremendous good fortune to be born in the first place. Each of us has, among other things, enjoyed an unblemished ancestral record of at least 700,000,000 consecutive successful matings. So Lou was lucky to be born, and lucky to die. I'd like to thank all Lou's ancestors, the bacteria, and the fish, and the shrews, and his mother, for being horny, and for being attractive.
Lou Reed recorded a song about The Day John Kennedy Died. Some days we know we are going to remember, because our lives are inextricably bound to them. I'd better do something worthy today.

Noah & his teacher Mrs. Shipka on the last day of 2nd Grade!
Noah & his Student Teach, Miss Hale.
Over Memorial Day weekend, we took in a few of the local attractions and spent some down time just chillin'! Overall, it was a relaxing and fun weekend!
Noah & Jerry spent Saturday fishing, but didn't catch anything. ;( Boohoo! I wanted fish for dinner! They did have fun though!
While they were out fishing, Paige and I did a little geocaching. No luck, but we had a nice hike through some of trails out a Creamer's Field and tested out Paige's new backpack. I think she liked the ride, and it was a comfortable carry for me.
We have made a few visits to Creamer's Field over the past month or so. It used to be dairy farm and is now migratory bird sanctuary. It is a stop-over home to many different types of migratory birds. You can almost always see an interesting array of birds out in the field.
The old farm house is now a visitor's center.
Canadian Geese
Sandhill Cranes
Lots of beautiful trails!
Sunday we enjoyed an afternoon at Pioneer Park, here in Fairbanks. It is a family friendly area that includes some small museums, a carousel, a train, mini-golf, some shops housed in some of the original buildings from downtown Fairbanks, and lots of play areas for the kids. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed the time outside.
Monday we decided to check out the Large Animal Research Center run by the University of Alaska - Fairbanks. They concentrate their research on Musk Oxen and Caribou / Reindeer. It was pretty cool to learn about these animals.

Topology Design and Cabling Specifications
•1000Base-T Networks in each office.
oThe 1000Base-T network will allow for more room for expansion over the more commonly used 100Base-T network. We will use this since these are new networks and there is a good chance we will need this expansion room in the future. oThe 1000Base-T networks will run over Category 6 Ethernet cabling using four twisted pair of wiring because the 1000Base-T network requires this. Again, Category 5 cable is more commonly used, however, these being new networks; we want to use the better and more expandable utilities so that they do not need to be redone anytime in the near future. oThe four twisted pair of wire in the Cat.6 cable will be STP, or shielded twisted pair. The shielded wire will be less susceptible to electrical interference from other wiring or equipment near where it is ran (University of South Florida, 1997-2009). oThe Cat 6 cable used for these networks cannot exceed 100-meter (328 ft.) lengths in each segment. If longer sections are used, data loss starts to occur. oRJ-45 connectors will be used for all connections in each network.
Local Area Network (LAN) Topologies
After recognizing the strengths and weaknesses of each type of network topology, I have chosen to use the star model for the topology in each of the offices for the company. This topology will allow the networks to effectively connect all the equipment that each office will need. The office employees will be able to connect to their fax machines to connect to customers and other employees and management, printers to more effectively do their jobs, and other computers for data they may need for their work. The star topology is cost effective because all of the nodes, or nodes, on the network are all connected together by a hub. The hub routes data from one node to its intended destination. Most of the cost of the star topology is in the cable since each node has its own cable connecting it to the hub...

While many other nations mark the Easter holiday by decorating multicolored eggs, the traditional Greek Easter egg is dyed a solid red color. This deep red can be said to have a variety of symbolic meanings, including a reference to the color of life and triumph as a celebration of Jesus' resurrection, which is, from the Christian perspective, the main point of the Easter holiday.
Members of the Greek Orthodox Church may take Easter very seriously as an important Christian holiday, and as such, their eggs may be more focused on the religious significance of the holiday. The red color may also be a reference to the blood of Christ as a reference to Jesus' pre-resurrection death by crucifixion.

The Camellia Grill has been a landmark New Orleans restaurant located near the end of the St. Charles Streetcar line in the Riverbend. Almost every time I have wandered past this ubiquitous diner, there has been a line of tourists patiently waiting to experience the food, and especially the unique brand of service, only to be found at the Camellia Grill. Though I've been to this restaurant many times in the past, I thought it was about time I blogged about it, so John and I visited the famous local diner on Saturday. Neither of us had been to Camellia Grill since before the flooding in '05...apparently some things have changed.
We arrived at an odd hour, between lunch and dinner, so that we would (hopefully) get the full attention from our waiter and so that our picture-taking would annoy the least amount of people. Amazingly enough, there was no line and we walked right in and plopped ourselves down at the counter, which is the only seating at Camellia Grill for those not "in the know."
Wanting to give the diner every opportunity to impress us, we ordered a couple specials from the modest menu and waited patiently while being entertained by the server/line cook banter that makes Camellia Grill so unique. Do understand that we weren't expecting anything mind-blowing from our lunch, we know this is greasy diner food we are talking about here. But, we did expect or hoped for a luncheon experience similar to ones we'd experienced in the past.
I started by ordering a chocolate "freeze" seeing as I desperately needed a cocoa fix. John just got a Coke knowing I would be ordering another dessert later on.
My sandwich, the Harry's Yankee Special was roast beef, melted Swiss and grilled onions on a "special roll" and served with a mushroom sauce, the whole production being reminiscent of a French Dip. It bugged me a little that the sandwich was served on a plastic plate and the au jus was literally slopped into a plastic cup, most of which missed the cup and landed on my already highly disarrayed plate. Plus, I'm not quite sure what kind of "roast beef" they used, but it tasted strangely like the meat I found on a sandwich served to me in the Orleans Parish holding cells one misguided Lundi Gras evening years ago (another story for another time). The mushroom sauce saved it just enough for me to ingest (I was really hungry), but I later regretted doing so.
Finally, for dessert we shared a slice of Chocolate Pecan Pie which, surprisingly, was a decent pie. Much better than some Sysco versions we've been faced with in the past, but also not a slice of homemade happiness that never fails to wow me.
All in all, I was kind of hoping for something a little better, maybe next time I'll just stick with the chili-cheese omelet or a burger and not set myself up for disappointment.

Apple products are known for their reputation of little to no need for installation of any additional anti-virus systems, as it stays protected through its own means. The company has taken a variety of precautions, making Macs more secure than any other PC. What sets them apart from other competing manufacturers is how they market their products. Their global market shares are singular in figures. Mac systems are operated under a Unix based platform, where Unix has numerous built in security features attributing to protecting Mac software.
The companies biggest operating system (OS) competitor rival is Microsoft's Windows systems. Apple's hardware and software are overseen by the company itself, meaning that they can observe and extensively test their own products closely and streamline their operating systems by optimizing and protecting it directly. The company's key feature for optimizing their security lies within its exclusivity, whereas operating systems such as Windows are far more susceptible to hacking.
OS securities are still hackable. Even so cyber criminals and malware writers have an easier time infiltrating a bigger market since Windows operating systems are wide open. The Windows operating systems are user-friendly, enough to the point where users tech savvy enough could jump into the control deck and customize what they see fit. This is the very same reason that hackers have found Windows to be an easier target including the fact that there are more users in the Microsoft PC world then there are in OS. The OS is heavily guarded by a system of fire walls, some of which can be breached but never reach the systems main frame interface.
The newest OS is called OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, which has an additional feature that strengthens the already guarded system to the next level, gearing toward keeping Apple virus free, even more. The operating system features Gatekeeper, a function that prevents any foreign addition to the system from being installed. Gatekeeper controls incoming applications by checking apps for the presence of a digital signature, applied by itself or the developer.

NBW planning is in full swing. The NBW team has been travelling to various provinces in preparation for on the ground events from 5-11 September. All nine provinces will be hosting official NBW events this year!
National Book Week 2015 highlights
National Book Week has compiled the highlights of activities from the #GOINGPLACES bus tour which travelled throughout four of South Africa's provinces (Gauteng, Limpopo, KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape).
This campaign has been celebrated in seven provinces, aiming to mitigate the findings in the 2007 study that revealed that only 14% of South Africans read books and over half of South African households (51%) do not have a single leisure reading book.
Now in its sixth year, the country's most successful annual national reading campaign has mobilised some of the best storytellers, musicians, and ambassadors such as Lupi Ngcayisa, Stoan Seate, Refiloe Mpakanyane, Jena Dover, Pearl Thusi and Aaron Moloisi to name a few to get Mzansi travelling again through books. Along with the mascot, Funda Bala, the ambassadors will continue to support and bring the world of books to people.
CLICK HERE to view the highlights.
You can help spread the love of reading by buying selected books for just R20 each at Exclusive Books and Bargain Books stores countrywide. Buy it and place it in the in-store donation bins. Please support our #BUYABOOK campaign which ends this Sunday, 20th of September 2015.

South Africa commemorates National Book Week in September. It is an initiative of the South African Book Development Council (SABDC) in collaboration with the Department of Arts and Culture.
Reading statistics reports that only 14% of the South African population are active book readers, and a mere 5% of parents read to their children. National Book Week is an important initiative in encouraging the nation to value reading as a fun and pleasurable activity and to showcase how reading can easily be incorporated into one's daily lifestyle.
The commemoration coincides with International Literacy Day on 8 September
Most towns have libraries where ratepayers can lend books.THE COUNTDOWN to National Book Week has begun. On the 7th of September, going places tour bus begins to spread the love of reading.
Official events will be held in seven provinces: Gauteng, North West, Free State, Western Cape, Limpopo, the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal. Activities include distributing books, reading stories, word games, motivational talks, and interaction with children favorite mascot Funda Bala.
The programmes cater for children aged 2 and up. There's also something for the adults: training to encourage parents and guardians to be reading champions in their homes. Some of the events are open to the public. Check more information on that using #BuyaBook hashtag on social media. Of course, National Book Week also encourage you to host your own reading events from the 7th to the 13th of September, and to #BuyaBook for someone who doesn't have one.

Delivery of Data to Federal Government of Somalia, Notice of Application for Production Sharing Agreements, Change of Chief Executive Officer
9 December 2015
Soma Oil & Gas Exploration Limited
("Soma Oil & Gas" or "the Company")
Delivery of Data to Federal Government of Somalia
Notice of Application for Production Sharing Agreements
Change of Chief Executive Officer
Soma Oil & Gas (Soma), the UK-registered oil and gas exploration company focused on Somalia, announces that today, as per the terms of the Seismic Option Agreement (SOA), the company delivered the Exploration Programme data to the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources ("the Ministry") of the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS) at a public ceremony in Mogadishu. This completes all Soma's obligations under the SOA. In addition the company submitted a Notice of Application for Production Sharing Agreements (PSAs) as per the SOA.
Today's ceremony in Mogadishu, marked the opening of the new office of the Ministry. The new office has a Data Room with the capability to store & display the Exploration Programme data. The Ministry has appointed Spectrum ASA to market this Exploration Programme data.
Soma's analysis of the acquired and processed 2D seismic data has identified specific prospects which merit further exploration. The Company submitted Notice of Application to the Ministry for PSAs targeting these prospects.
The conversion of this Notice of Application into PSA awards is dependent on the finalising of a Model PSA by the Ministry, the negotiation of specific PSAs between the Ministry and Soma, a revenue sharing agreement between Federal Member States and the Federal Government of Somalia and final approval of PSA awards by the full Federal Government.
Change of CEO
With the completion of all Soma's obligations under the SOA, Robert Sheppard has notified the Board of his intention to stand down as Chief Executive Officer. He will remain on the Board of Directors.
Richard Anderson is transitioning with Robert Sheppard as the new CEO.
Mr. Anderson has been a non-executive director on the Board of Soma Oil & Gas since December 2013. He has 32 years' experience in oil and gas industry, including executive finance and management roles. Mr Anderson was the CFO of Eurasia Drilling Company from 2008 to March 2015 and he was also on the Board of Eurasia Drilling Company up to October 2015. Mr Anderson is Chairman of Vanguard Natural Resources LLC (NASDAQ). He was President and Chief Executive Officer of Prime Natural Resources, Inc. from 2002 until 2007.
Lord Howard of Lympne, Chairman of Soma Oil & Gas, commented:
"This is an exciting day for Somalia and for Soma Oil & Gas. The new ministry building and data room underline the successful reawakening of the country's oil and gas industry after a prolonged hiatus due to civil war.
"Our submission of Notice of Application for PSAs highlights our continued interest and willingness to take investment risks to explore for hydrocarbons offshore Somalia. The Board and I wish to thank our shareholders for their continued funding and support as we embark on the next phase in exploration."
"I would also like sincerely to thank Bob Sheppard for his extraordinary achievements in getting this project off the ground and to the point we have reached today. It may prove a historic accomplishment and I'm delighted that he will continue to serve as a Non-executive Director. The Board looks forward to working with Richard Anderson who has great experience and has already added tremendous value in his non-executive role on the Board."

I found this blog after watching William Boyd's "the frontiersmen" , thinking that words were removed from the pledge of allegiance, namely "under god" , but also the words "of the United States of America" were missing , simply saying " I pledge allegiance to the flag and to the republic for wich it stands , and with the children doing the "heil" style" salute that was later taken out. Thanks for this proper history !

loved it
Love this movie, do not love ignorance
- Laurie Gold
- 1/23/17
I have loved this movie since I first saw it as a "late late show" while in college. Just watched it again on TCM and thought I'd check out the reviews. I'm shocked at the ignorance and anger of those who believe the film was edited to remove God from the Pledge of Allegiance. "Under God" was not removed from this movie, which was released in 1952, four years BEFORE "under God" was added to the Pledge. Save your anger for something deserving of it, and please be informed before you begin attacking godless heathens for their evil deeds.Now, back to the movie. Cary Grant is absolutely adorable as Poppy Rose, and George Winslow as Teenie, with his incongruously deep voice, is simply terrific. Yes, it's corny, but I still love the scene in which Poppy calls out the parents of the boy taking Jane to the New Year's Eve prom, and the Eagle Scout scenes never fail to get me--maybe because my husband and his brothers were all Eagle Scouts. What's really fun about the movie is that the viewer is in on how happily married and still-in-love Poppy and Anna are, even as long-married parents. The overt and occasionally sly humor cancels out most of the corn. What's left is genuinely moving.

Such a great movie with a message how people with patience and love can take in toughened troubled kids and eventually soften them and turn them around. (my what a socially liberal concept, how dare they).YET, all that some narrow minded people can take from the whole movie is the last 5 minutes when the part "under God" is not said during the Pledge of Allegiance. Folks this movie was made in 1952, the phrase "under God" was not added until 1954 thru an effort by the Knights of Columbus and to combat god-less atheological U.S.S.R. I guess that must've ruined an hour and a half of watching for many indignant people, huh?The author of the modern pledge, Francis Bellamy, who came from Mt. Morris, NY , just a few miles south of me, originally also had the people salute the flag with right arm raised at a 45 degree angle with palm forward. But that was banned in 1942 due to it resembling the Nazi "Heil Hitler" salute. Things you probably didnt learn in history class, yet I add into my Civics portions of Social Studies to make it interesting and enlightening. btw, I love any movie with Cary Grant in it, although, English by birth, he is the every man American.

Clifford Tatum as the foster child later adopted by Cary Grant and Betsy Drake is wonderful. This is a warm and gentle film. The relationship between Cary Grant and Betsy Drake works because, at least for a time, they really were husband and wife. She portrays a housewife and mother who is, in many ways, way ahead of her time. Her passion for rescuing orphans and abused children is inspirational. Cary Grant is perfect as the sometimes overwhelmed and always understanding husband and father. The actors who play the children are easy to love. I am always moved by the courage and sincerity of the character played by Clifford Tatum. I've always loved the scene when Cary grant first finds Clifford Tatum in that classroom with the ice cold teacher. When she tells Grant that the boy once bit her on the leg when she had him on the floor as a punishment and Grant sees that poor kid limping to the front of the room on his leg braces and responds: "I would have bitten you on both legs," always touches me.Oh, in response to the comment about the scene when Jimmy-John recites the Pledge: The "under god" part is not in that scene because it was not added to the Pledge until ten or more years later.

I loved this movie but was surprised during the Pledge o Allegiance at the Eagle Scout ceremony...that they left out "under God". Especially during the 50s when God had a heavy presence. Anybody have any thoughts on this?

Lisa: Under God was not added to the Pledge of Allegiance until 1954. This movie was made in 1952. It's a lovely, if formulaic, movie with Cary Grant at his comedic best.
From another time in America
- Just plain Joe
- 10/6/14
My wife and I watched this last night on TCM. The point of the film was clear and sweet. But watching it now, in 2014, we couldn't help but laugh at certain parts. When Jimmy John grabs the girl in a head-lock and turns into Happy Gilmore, giving her upper-cuts to the nose... Jimmy John taking a dive face-first down the stairs, and then volunteering to do it again from the very top!... Betsy Drake's character having had enough of Jimmy John, turning him over her knee and walloping him... In 2014, Cary and Betsy would be sent to prison for abuse and neglect. Mind you, I write this tongue in cheek...It was a sweet film about how average people CAN make a difference with perseverance and love. So it gets a thumbs up from me!

super cute movie, but I was really infuriated at the part where they were saying the Pledge of Allegiance and " one nation under God " was cut out why did that have to be we are in America it has always been in our Pledge of Allegiance, abd it offends me that you took it out

Hi Katydid,Just as an FYI, the movie is from 1952 and the words "Under God" was not added until 1954. So it was not in the pledge at that time. So, no editing happened.But as reviewing goes, this is one of my Cary Grant films. All of heart went into this story and it alwaysalways show to me that a lot of love builds a family. It may not be perfect, but who said families have to be.
Interesting Note
- Katydid
- 6/2/14
I had never seen this movie before and it was a great Cary Grant movie - a little bit different from many of his others. Near the end when Jimmy John was getting his Eagle Scout badge I noticed that the Scouts stood for the Pledge of Allegiance. Interesting enough - "one nation, indivisible" with "under God" not included. Now I don't think in 1952 this was left out. Plus Scouts still include the complete Pledge. So why edit it out?

I watched this movie many, many years ago, as a young teenager. Talk about making an impression! Decided to adopt children who needed a home, versus bringing more into the world. Personal decision, and have three grown adopted children as a result. Best part of the movie was when Cary Grant said he would bite the teacher after how she treated his foster child.
Loved This Carey Grant Movie

This is one movie that i have never seen with Carey Grant. And I can tell you that this movie moves to the top of my list over That Touch of Mink and An Affair to Remember. I laughed the entire time. I am 40 years old and I have been watching old movies since I was in Middle School at about 12 or so. He is my favorite actor along with the best of Frank Sinatra. I loved it so much I had to get my Carey Grant Bio out and look through it.Thank you for playing this one. Will definately will be adding it to my existing Classic Movie Library.Lori Yanos

I remember seeing this movie 40 yrs ago and have been hoping to see it again. Every once in awhile I look for it but never came across it. Happen to look for it a few days ago and saw it was coming on. All my box tops were set with reminders. Some of the scenes I have vivid memories of and my memory was true to movie. Wish it was on more often. I realized alot of who I am as an adult I owe to this particular movie. It stayed with me and becanme a part of me. More people need to see it, as a family. Show it again and again.
A Special Film
- Cathy Delaney
- 7/29/12
I found this a very warm and special movie. It was quite touching how 2 people, with a family of their own, opened their home and hearts to others who needed them. It was special because it showed how love can make room for more, (nice title) and add to the strength of a loving unit. If more people could take this sentiment to heart, WOW! I also love Cary Grant and the acting of all the folks in teh film was great. Done with the right sentiment for the scene, humor, somedy, fun, warmth, anger... I will add it to my collection.

"Under God" omission not an edit.
- Rob West
- 11/4/11
I was all set to ream TCM a good one for trying to change history by editing out the phrase "under God" during the Scout ceremony, but a little research shows that it wasn't officially added until 1954. The movie was made in 1952.I had never heard of this movie until it was aired the other morning. What a delight! I think it is Grant's best family themed movie, typical of those he seemed to make in his latter career, but his generosity to the child actors by playing his role a bit more subdued and not so over the top, as in "Father Goose" really comes off as a class act. Will watch again! PS- Why not show it at a time when more folks are apt to be up to watch it?
Grat Movie, Eagle Scout Oath and The Pledge
- steve
- 11/3/11
Excellent examples of people thinking about others before themself's, even when it would be much easier not to. Goes to show why things worked out back then, and a little paddle on the rear could sometimes turn a kid around. I'm curious why the word God was included in the eagle scout oath but seemed to be taken out of the pledge of allegence right before? could I be mistaken or did they actually have them say one nation indivisable without the under God part back then?

I absolutely loved this movie! The first time I saw it, the title was, "The Easy Way", so when I was flipping channels yesterday, the only thing that caught my eye was the fact that Cary Grant and Betsy Drake were both in it. I know they were only married a short time, but they looked like a lovely couple. I wish TCM would show this more frequently than they do. It's so touching. A well made movie with a plot and a showing a whole family, where values were instilled in children and parents were in the home. Yes, please show it again, soon!

Count me as one of those who had never seen this film before but caught it this morning on TCM! I'm one of those people who don't know what I'd do without this terrific station, as TCM fills so many of my hours with such quality film. This one, a true family film, is one I'd love to see broadcast more often, particularly during the holidays. In a way, it is a tutorial for married people on how to parent a group of extremely diverse children. I know it is just fiction but there really was a time when parents really did support their children on matters of importance and helped them become good citizens. If you can keep a dry eye when the handicapped young boy becomes an Eagle Scout, then you really need to search your soul! I loved this film and I hope you will too! Thank you, TCM!

Why whine and protest about the declining state of society as manifested through today's so-called "films"? Just make the showing of this film mandatory to all students from perhaps 4th grade up as part of their curriculum! It would surely teach all what tolerance and understanding is really about. Or would it be banned, since it mentions the word God?

This used to air regularly on our local TV station when I was a kid and I LOVED it. It was the first Cary Grant film that I ever saw. The local station aired it under one of its alternate titles, "The Easy Way", so imagine my surprise when it was on yesterday featuring a different title! For years it appeared as though this lovely film had been forgotten and I often dispaired that TCM never seemed to show it - until yesterday when there it was!!! I have been telling my friends about this film for years and finally was able to share it with my best friend yesterday as we watched it together. She liked it. I love this film, its message, the children, everything! What a great movie to show around the holidays and I hope TCM shows it with more regularity from now on!!!!

I'd never watched this one before, but I'm glad I did today. It's another fine performance by the great Cary Grant. I couldn't recall any of Betsy Drake's movies, but I enjoyed her in this one. Movies like this make me happy that the word "corny" was invented. Long live corny movies!

Perfect movie for families to watch; classic in everyway that our country used to be! The characters, especially Cary Grant, seemed actually to LIKE his role! Thanks for airing it twice in 2 months.

There's something to be said for a black and white movie made when my parents were children that still has the appeal to capture the attention of a 12 year old boy of today. Room for One More was playing when my son came in the room. Usually he leaves me to my old movies, but he appreciate Cary Grant movies somewhat and sat down with me. I learned that if I ask, he'll definitely tell me no. So, he just never left and was fascinated by the similarities that the children had to his life as well as their unselfishness that was displayed numerous times. It even sparked a dialogue between us. I love it when he secretly likes one of my old black and whites! I thought the rapport between Cary Grant and his real life wife Betsy Drake was believable, charming, and refreshing. It was obvious that he adored her, and he was able to act in such a relaxed way where, in contrast, he often remains aloof with other actresses. He also looked likemhe was having fun versus working. The bigger their star gets, you can also see their fun fade. This was a delightful film with teachable moments, tearjerking drama, but mostly the light comedy that naturally happens in loving families. I highly recommend it and am so grateful to TCM for finally airing it.

I've always thought that this movie should be a must see for all families. Not only is it a delightful, entertaining movie, but it has such a good message. A lot of our children today have a "me" attitude. If they don't have the right clothes or the latest toy, they feel deprived. I think it shows how the love of brother and sisters come through, even when on the suface there seems to be rivalry. While it's not possible for every family to live up to the story on the screen, i think it is a goal to strive for.

Would love to see this movie again. I love the old movies, because it reminds me of when life seemed so much easier. It is also a heart warming picture that shows you can open your heart to "one more" in the family.

This was the first Cary Grant movie I ever watched (I was probably 11 or 12 at the time) and Cary became my favorite movie star, then and there. I saw it a couple times after that, but probably not in 20 years or more, which is really sad because I think it's one of his best. He and Betsy Drake make a wonderful couple and it's truly a heartwarming story. I would love to own this movie and I can't believe it's never been released. Right now I would settle for seeing it once again on TV. Then I could record it and save it on my DVR forever!

This is a great movie and I would love to purchase a copy. I can't believe it has not been released to DVD (or even VHS). The story is heart-warming, and Cary is just wonderful in it.

Family is most important!
- Judith Fairweather
- 12/31/07
This film provides a message that is so needed in today's world: family is the most important part of life and family is not blood lines, it is the presence of love. This movie has endured through the years in my memory and I still find myself recalling certain segments as I watch my children and their children experience life and family relationships. I am amazed that Sheryl Crow has not shown this movie in concert with her program on the rewards of adoption. I have an old copy I recorded many years ago from TV and I still love watching it! I hope to renew it to DVD.

There are so many people that would be happy that you did. PleasePlease add it.

My siblings and I are waiting to see a long lost movie called "Room For One More", aka "The Easy Way", starring Cary Grant and Betsy Drake. What a terrific movie this is. It totally gives you the warm and fuzzy that is so needed in today's world. Please air this movie on TCM. I'd love to have it on DVD to keep alongside all of my other Cary Grant movies. Thanks TCM for giving the public something good to watch on TV.

This is a movie I have searched for . I seen this movie many years ago. On a local channel. It was a movie with such a message about family. I HOPE TCM CAN SHOW THIS MOVIE . I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT ONE MORE TIME. AS MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE VOTED. I WOULD BUY DVD IF I COULD.
A happy ending

This is the one movie that I have searched for since videos first came out. I didn't remember the title (since I saw the movie as a young child) but, scenes of this movie are imprinted on my mind. It made such an impression on me that I just had to find out what it was called. I have questioned family members, friends and total strangers whenever the topic of favorite movies came up "Please, do you by any chance remember...?" I remember the "dang bunny book", the bicycle, the prom dress and the scout hike through the snow scenes. My family searched for this movie for me as a Christmas present and could not even find the title. I was so afraid that it was one of the "disappeared" films. It is a heartwarming story that so touched my heart that I have spent over 30 years trying to find it again. Today I am a happy woman knowing that it still exists. PLEASE TCM ... show this movie ... it is a truly worthy film that touches the best in human nature. I pray I will get to see it again and joy of joys own my own copy before I die.

A wonderful story of hope and charity. The Rose family takes in orphan " problem " children and with firm loving kindness turns their lives around to be productive people. This is based on a true story. Gary Grant is absolutely halarious in this film.

i was probably 16 when i saw this movie. the one and only time, but unforgetable. when jane came in with all her miserable problems, i could so relate. the actress iris mann brought this young girl so to life for me. she was insecure, paranoid and self-lothing. therefore she could not like her self or others. so relatable to my teen years. then when she finally felt safe, secure, accepted and had a home and loving family she could love herself and others. now i will soon be 60 and always will remeber and thank iris mann for being that girl jane. wherever you are iris, thank you.

When I first saw this movie as a child, it was re-named The Easy Way. It was a wonderful movie and I have been waiting for it to come out on VHS, but now that I'm older, (55), I'm waiting for it on DVD, or to watch it on TCM. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? There are so many of us who think, and know, this is a wonderful, heart-warming movie. WE NEED MORE OF THESE MOVIES ON TCM AND ALSO AVAILABLE ON DVD! PLEASE HEAR US!! THANKS FOR LISTENING.

I first saw this film with my daughter when she was twelve years old. At that time my daughter would not watch a movie unless it was in living color.My daughter fell in love with the picture halfway through the movie. I personally feel it is the best movie Grant ever made.My daughter's birthday is in June and I know she would love it if this came out on DVD and I could give it to her for her birthday (and I would like to have a copy for myself also).

This movie is a classic, family oriented, funny and one I wish I could share with my daughter. I can only remember seeing this movie on television once in the past eighteen years. It would be absolutely wonderful if Turner Classic Movies would add this movie to their schedule so more could experience the warmth and love portrayed by this family.

But when the Prophet decrees that she must marry her sixty-year-old uncle---who already has six wives---Kyra must make a desperate choice in the face of violence and her own fears of losing her family forever.
My Thoughts:
- This is a very solemn book. It has a lot of sadness and worry in it, but in the end, we get a bit of hope.
- It makes me sad and a little sick to my stomach to know that the events in this book take place in the real world. There were certain parts that just break my heart.
- I love the emotion in the story. Kyra's feelings come across so strongly that I just feel for her so much! I feel scared, sad, happy, and everything else for this character. I just want to hug her and tell her that everything will be alright. It just makes me want to show my daughter 10x more love!
- I wish the ending held a bit more, or that there was a sequel. There are a few questions I want answered.
- I want to visit a bookmobile! Patrick is a hero in my eyes!
- I love the format of this book. Carol Lynch Williams knows how to get so much more out of a book by playing with the format and sentence structure. I love it!!
- The ending is so riveting! Oh my gosh!! It is one of the most heart pounding car chases I've ever read or seen.
- This is one of those books that you just have to finish is one sitting! Once you start, you just can't put it down. Thank goodness it isn't too long.
- Carol Lynch Williams is such a pro at telling difficult stories in a beautiful way! Her writing is like poetry, but not. I just love her style!

It has been 5-6 days since I last posted. I can't really remember what my moods have been. I've been going to sleep at roughly the same time and eating fairly well the past few days. I feel kind of normal, even if I'm really fucking sad. W and I broke up on Saturday.
I feel sad though. Not numb or suicidal but just sad. Hopefully this is me coming out of that dark place, even if things are gonna be tough for a while. I've got some stuff I need to get over. I'm trying to keep busy and look ahead.
The thing that's bothering me is: am I bipolar or am I just kind of an asshole? Maybe I'm both. Either way, I need to make peace with who I am. I'm just going to carry on binge-watching tv, eating shitloads of spaghetti and masturbating furiously until I figure it out.
Not necessarily in that order.

Life is a journey filled with challenges along the paths we choose. Some paths we choose for ourselves, others are chosen for us.
Since leaving the LDS church I have struggled with the concept of God. Who is God? Does God truly exist? Do we worship God, even while he cares nothing for us? Does God care for us? What is the true nature of God?
For the first while after I left the church I spent time doing scriptures study with my family each day. Well at least most days we still did. We continued to read from the Book of Mormon for a bit, but I soon found myself struggling to just keep reading that book as it represented and still does everything that I had just left behind. I found myself feeling sick, not in the physical sense, but a kind of disgust at what I was reading. One of the last things I remember reading in the book of Mormon was the story of Moroni. A man who cared so much for liberty and freedom he was willing to slaughter and imprison any "dissenters" who disagreed with him. According to his story he forced others to bend to his will or be killed or jailed or both. This to me was not an act of liberty but an act of extreme tyranny against the people. This is a book held up as sacred scripture and the foundation of the church. Before I left the church I did not think much about this. I was a true blue Mormon and did not feel the need to question such teachings. At this point however I could not help but be disgusted at what I was reading. From what I had recently experienced with my local leadership, I felt that I could see such teaching in full force to the greatest extent the laws allowed being imposed on me as a "dissenter" over disagreements with some doctrines and policies.
Despite this I continued to read the Book of Mormon. For a short time I continued reading the Book of Mormon because I wanted to so badly believe that the doctrine and scriptures were true, but only that the church had become corrupted and was not being lead by Christ, at least not any longer. I just kept feeling worse and worse about reading it. Eventually I just could not do so any more and felt that I needed to stop. We changed over our scriptures to reading the bible as a family. This however did not help. As we were reading I still was feeling disgust at what I had been taught and believed. The bible was a big part of my religious upbringing as well. This sadly, makes it for me at least, very difficult to separate from the LDS church as that is the religious culture I was raised in.
I tried so hard to keep reading from church materials just thinking, there is good here it can't all be bad. For a while I even continued to read LDS church magazines but finally I gave up on that as well. I was finding I just was not happy trying so hard to keep myself reading LDS church material. The thing is I really wanted to believe that the church was still good, and wholesome and lead by God. I really wanted to believe that because God lives his church must be true even if I could not align myself with leadership policy and practice.
There are so many things within the Bible that I have had a difficult time accepting as actually fact and truth. For many years I have struggled with this. Just to name a few examples are the story of Adam and Eve which does not make sense with what we know with scientific reality. This makes for some great theology but if taken in a literal sense it just does not seem possible. The exodus from Egypt is another one that has always troubled me. Not the leaving but the march through the wilderness. So much of the Israelite's journey is filled with warmongering. Millions of innocents slaughtered while the women in some accounts were kept alive to be raped by the men. Women, children, innocent men senselessly slaughtered. Christ's immaculate conception was a huge struggle knowing that pregnancy is impossible without men. It is biologically impossible for a woman to get pregnant without an injection of sperm. The story of Lot who offered his own daughters up to be raped rather than suffer men he just met to be harmed. Samson who's behavior was anything but God like yet was somehow "blessed." Reading the biblical account we are led to believe that all these things were sanctioned by God. In addition to that the fact that the bible was compiled from original source material of up to 70 + gospels, whittled down to 4 which were accounts written 70-100 years after Christ's existence on earth by those who heard the stories from someone who heard the story from some one who knew him, and compiled by a pagan emperor Constantine with a political agenda. We just do not know what else was written or the truth about New Testament history. There are just so many problems with scriptural documents that do not make sense. This does not disprove God in any way but does call into question the credibility of organized religion's source material.
The struggle I have had is that once I finally understood what the LDS church truly is, and how it's entire basis is based on fraud, lies, deceit etc… and they are the one place that taught me about God, how can God exist (at least in the sense we think of God) if the church that claims his truth is false, then where is the truth to be found. If I can't trust the church, then how can I trust the scriptures that the church claims as it's truth?
I love God and believe that there are supernatural forces within the universe that are beyond our ability to understand. This universe and the world as we know it was created, regardless of the truth behind the force that created it, it was created and the fact of our and its existence is proof of that. My view on God has evolved and changed over the last year or so and most notably in the last couple of months it has undergone a rather drastic transformation of how I view God.
Faith, it has been said, is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen. It has often been said that the evidence of our existence is the evidence of God. An Aunt of mine has often used the term God wink to describe convenient circumstances that come together right when we need it most. Perhaps this definition of faith and evidence of God's existence is accurate. We are here because God created us. Mankind has worshiped divinity in our quest to understand that which we cannot explain. Evolving beliefs in a God are a natural part of this evolutionary progress. If we are to say that God created us, then we could say God is the force behind life and existence in the universe, whether or not this force is a literal divine person or a un-quantifiable universal energy that flows through everything and everyone we refer to this force as God.
Three major world religions, Muslam/islam, Jewish and Christianity view God as a singular deity of the male Gender. When looking at the history of God and the names often applied to them Jehovah (or yahweh in jewish) can be broken down into 2 parts. Je – which I have learned is reference to the male gender and Hova meaning girl or the female gender. Assuming that the root meaning of the word is accurate this literally means male-female. From Truth unity it states "Hebrew students say that the original word is JHVH. Which means the ever living male-and-female principle." While the meaning of the name has evolved over time to mean different things at different times, the roots and origin of the name helps to shed a light on the origins of the name of God, or Christ as it is known in the New Testament. Along side this is the other often and widely understood name for God which is Elohim. This term however is actually in reality plural meaning many gods or deities.
So what we have here concerning the Christian/Jewish God is Jehovah or JHVH meaning male and female and Elohim meaning plural deities. As I continue growing and changing in my spirituality the idea of God being a multi gender and many person persona starts to evolve and form. This leads one to ask, who or what are we truly worshiping and how does this form our beliefs from a spiritual perspective.
If we are to use the Bible as the basis for our explanation of who or what God is (though much of what is written it is difficult for me to take literally) then we can, despite some question about it's accuracy, begin to see a pattern within the written words of the Bible as to what or who God truly is. We can see what the Bible is trying to tell us as we seek to improve our understanding. If we are prepared to have a more open mind about divinity and God, I believe we can come to a greater understanding of what or who God is. By doing this we can really take a close look at our own spirituality and seek to grow as people, individuals and understand our own divine destinies and potential.
The biblical accounts tells us that God created the heavens and the Earth. But at this point in the narrative it does not tell us much about who or what God is. Shortly after the creation we get our first glimpse behind who this God figure is in a way we can relate.
Genesis 1:26-27
"26 ¶And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."
This tells us that God created us in the image of God. It tells us that both men and women were created in the image of God. As we established Jehova being the old testament name of God is the male-female principle. The bible states that humans were created in the Jehova. Both male and female and Jehova or male-female is God, and humanity is in the image or likeness of God. Thus God is both male and female in this sense. Humanity is also male-female.
Some other scriptures of note are also telling us something about the nature of the divine, the nature of what or who God is.
Psalm 82:6
6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
Isaiah 41:23
23 Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.
John 4:15
15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
John 3 1:11
11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
John 10:34-35
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
Each one of these scriptures is telling us that we are Gods. The Book Of Genesis tells us that we were created after the Image of God. The Old testament Jehovah is a word meaning the male-female dynamic. And Elohim is plural meaning many deities. Most Christian and other religions teach that God or the Gods are separate and distinct beings of supernatural powers and abilities. Is this a truthful fact? Or is this a contrived doctrine of man to form the basis of a organized religion in an effort to explain what these scriptures mean? What is it that the scriptures are truly trying to tell us about the nature of God?
I would like to for a moment take a look at a couple of these verses in particular.
John 4:15
15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
This scripture is telling us that if we acknowledge that Christ is the son of God we can then recognize or accept that God is dwelling inside of us, and we are dwelling in God. This suggests that the power of God is within us, that we are divine beings and all it takes is acknowledging that Christ is the son of God, then God will dwell in us and us in God. Thus we in effect become God or houses of God's essence. In this sense we become Gods. Christ is also referred to the as the son of man, and also the son of God. God dwells in us and we are Gods, Christ being the son of God or man
John 3 1:11
11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
This verse suggests that if you have done those things which are good, then you are of God while on the other hand if you do evil, or wrong then you have not seen God. This suggests that we can literally see God when we do good or see good happening. These Good Works are performed by people. We see God when performing Good Works, thus by witnessing good works we are seeing God. We could only be seeing God if the people themselves are God made manifest in the flesh.
John 10:34-35
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
In this scripture, Christ is speaking and telling us that we are God's, and that the word of God came to those who are God's and that the scriptures were not broken on this basis or fact. We are Gods and we have the word of Elohim (again I would remind you that this means many dieties) who is God, then we are receiving the words of Many Gods (and many have written the scriptures and were and are gods) who we are by this scripture.
Mathew 25:40
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Christ, within the scriptures, would often make statements like the one found in John 10:30 in which he states both he and the father (meaning God) are one and the same. With the scripture above he states that if we do good works we do these things unto him. If he is God, and we are Gods and we do good for others and we are doing that good in effect to God.
So lets summarize what we have learned
1: Humanity was created in the image of God
2: Jehovah means male and female principle
3: Elohim is plural meaning many deities
4: We can both have God in us and be in God
5: By serving and doing good to others we are serving God
6: We are Gods
So if we are in the image of God, and by God's names God is both male and female and many, and based on the scriptures we not only serve God when serving others but we have God within us if we just accept the reality of God's existence. This image of God based on the bible shows us that God is in reality us. We, the human species are many or plural both male and female and are God, or Gods. This religion or one version of religion is all about obtaining the God within our lives. God being the best parts of humanity and the human species as a whole. It is about joining both sides of the human species, both male and female to create Jehovah. We serve this purpose by serving others. Elohim, or the many created the world as we know it, and it is only through uniting both the male and female or humanities two half's that we can achieve God, or Jehovah. Jehovah, or the joining of male and female, has been the ultimate objective of religion as a whole. This seems to be the pure truth. When Jehovah speaks it is the male-female that is speaking, asking us to follow the path that will lead to perfect unity and the ultimate God!
When all is said and done, I do not view myself as religious in the sense of subscribing to a singular faith or sect of any one religion. I believe Jesus Christ is real just as Mohammad, Ghandi and Buddha are real. Christ like other founders of other religions is a true and real person. I myself am not so much religious as I am more spiritual now. All religions have some wonderful theology and good about them. I wish to embrace all that is good and wholesome and at this point I am simply trying to understand to a greater extent how to achieve that which we all seek. Our own perfection and happiness. Any principles or ideological ways of life that can help me attain that is good.
And that is the Gospel according to Andrew
