The Potential of Sustainable Forestry Certification for Smallholder Tree Growing
This chapter's aim is to investigate the potential of sustainable forestry certification for smallholder tree growing. Certification can be important for different stakeholders in the value chain of timber and timber products. By certification, consumers can choose on the basis of more sustainable behavior. For the manufacturing industry, certification can help to improve its image, and in the long run assure its resource input. For the producers of the timber resources, certification can help in achieving market access and can be the basis for long-term sales agreements. There are a number of certification systems for sustainable forestry, some of them operating on a global level, like particularly the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and the Programme for Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes (PEFC). However, certification in developing countries lags behind: in 2006 these countries only comprised two percent of the certified forests. A recent FSC program was aimed at timber production by Smallholders and Low Intensity Forests (FSC-SLIMF). This may alleviate the barriers faced by producers in developing countries, for both individual and community forestry. Before starting a process of certification, the costs and benefits along the chain need to be carefully examined, including market perspectives. In general, certification is only useful to an international market, which with others sets requirements on the choice of tree species and timber quality. As a case study, special attention is paid to the potentials of certification of forestry plantations in the Philippines.

fo: SpringTastic Socks!
SpringTastic Socks by Stefanie Goodwin-Ritter
Yarn: Manos del Uruguay Alegria
Mods: I started with the 9" sock for the width, but only knit 7" before doing the toe decreases for my size 7 feet. I reduced the toe length by only knitting 6 decrease repeats (decrease 1 row, k 1 row), then decreasing every row for 6 rows. I then sewed the toe closed with 28 stitches on the needles instead of 24 to reduce the point for my blunt toes. The fit is perfect!
Here's my project page on Ravelry.
I was already sold on hand knit socks, but if I weren't these would've done it. They're so adorable and beyond comfortable! How have I gone so long wearing ill-fitted socks? :)

In the fourth month running, the team of young and enthusiastic advocates under the auspices of the project CHILD HERO Empowerment Campaign are poised to marching onward with the need to making impact upon the next Generation Children.
The rationale behind this laudable stance is one informed by the fact that many are out on the streets, orphanages and deprived states with arms outstretched to the one that can bring smiles on their faces.
Like the proverbial Samaritan, CHEC stands to bringing this wholesome feeling of love, empathy and forthrightness.
After recently extending hands to the Pacelli school of the Blind, and the footprints of David, Bariga, in the 4th edition of CHEC's Monthly humanitarian activity, they turn their wheels to the Vigilante Heart Charitable Society orphanage.
Like other expeditions, they are set to bring their usual message of hope and liberty garnished with motivation, empowerment, talent and skill building, entertainment and fun games.
This month's workshop themed – "They too are the earth" is a selective theme emblematic of the core essence of the movement CHILD HERO EMPOWERMENT CAMPAIGN. It takes its roots from a poem written by Professor Niyi osundare, talking extensively on the need to cater for the downtrodden.

"North and South" Interiors

I love the little details! Thanks for pointing them out. It's like literally going back in time and checking out someone's house (which we kinda are) :)ReplyDelete
I'm so glad you like it! This is exactly how I feel. We are definitely taking a look back in time. I think that the personality of the house, especially the inside and furnishings, bring the personality of the owner back to life. These are obviously historic houses where the movie was filmed, the actors bring the characters to life and usually "feel" their setting for their art.ReplyDelete

Do you have foot pain or numbness? You could have a condition known as Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome. Massage Therapy and Bodywork are very effective in treating conditions arising from muscular and connective tissue abnormalities. Like many painful conditions, Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome responds quite well to treatment by massage therapy and bodywork.
What is Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome?
Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome is the name of a painful nerve entrapment condition, in which the posterior tibial nerve is placed under abnormal pressure by the connective tissue forming the tarsal tunnel at the inside of the ankle and the other structures in that space like tendons from lower leg muscles.
When the muscle tendons passing through the tarsal tunnel become tight and enlarged, pain results from myofascial trigger points (knots) in the muscle, and pressure on the posterior tibial nerve, which passes through the tarsal tunnel.
Pain from Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome is usually found in the ankle, heel, and sole of the foot. Additionally, there may be numbness or a pins and needles feeling in sole of the foot and sometimes the toes. Most of the time the symptoms are on one affected side, but may affect both sides at the same time.
What is the cause of Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome?
There are a number of causes for Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome. Some causes of this condition prevent massage therapy from being the best method of treatment. However, there are other causes of this painful syndrome that make massage therapy one of the best methods of treatment.
These causes include direct blunt trauma to the inside of the ankle near the tarsal tunnel itself; ankle sprains of the inner ankle are a common cause of this syndrome; and, this syndrome may also be caused by overuse and/or repetitive stress of the flexor muscles of the lower leg especially when fallen arches and/or over pronation is present.
Massage Therapy and Bodywork for Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
There are many ways that massage therapy and bodywork can be used to treat Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome. The massage therapist will employ a number of techniques to relieve the condition. For example, the massage therapist may use Neuromuscular Therapy or Trigger Point Therapy to eliminate myofascial trigger points and associated tension in the flexor muscles whose tendons pass through the tarsal tunnel.
The massage therapist could also use Deep Tissue Massage techniques to release adhesions between the flexor retinaculum forming the tarsal tunnel and the tissues passing through the tunnel.
Comprehensive treatment with massage and bodywork, in conjunction with a home program of stretching and exercise, may help to completely resolve Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome.

Achievements for each user project
Larvae and young adults of Branchiostoma lanceolatum had been freshly fixed and processed to obtain the best results. Furthermore they had been prepared for different microscopy techniques (e.g. light microscopy, electron microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy) and for a transport to Naples, for continuing the analysis and processing of the data. In addition, fresh larva had been fixed directly for immunoreactivity with GABA, glycine, beta-tubuline and DSYT-2 for optimal imaging for confocal microscopy.
During my stay in Banyuls, I was able to study in detail the patterns and timings of the development of the various pigments in the cephalochordate body and learn protocols for collecting, breeding and rearing amphioxus. I was thus able to collect all relevant stages of development for studying gene expression patterns with in situ hybridization and become familiar with the techniques for doing so. I was able to bring material back to my lab and will endeavor to build up a clearer picture of the roles my candidate genes play in pigmentation of amphioxus throughout its early development. Unfortunately, microinjection in these animals is a technique in the early stages of development, and for various technical reasons I was unable to conduct morpholino experiments during my stay, precluding functional analysis of these genes for the time being, though I hope to achieve this in the future.
As planned, several chloroplast-hosting sea slugs species with long-term and short-term functional retention of chloroplasts were obtained for comparative analyses and held and investigated in the laboratory. Furthermore, samples of corresponding food algae and analyses on them were performed. The scheduled analyses of photosynthetic activity by means of measurements with an Underwater Fluorometer (Diving-PAM) were started and will be continued during the extension of the research stay (as some species under investigation keep chloroplasts functional for weeks and months). Microscopic analyses, especially investigations with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) on preparations of sea slugs and algae, were carried out. Concerning the electron microscopy, the facilities in the laboratory and the personal assistance provided enabled very good performance of microscopic analyses through all procedures from embedding to microtomy until final imaging. For several preparations, the analyses with TEM revealed interesting results on chloroplast integration into the animal cells of the sea slugs which will be prepared for publication. As scheduled, preliminary findings on photo-endosymbiosis in sea slugs were investigated in more detail and extended to further observations. Analyses on photobehavior, photosynthetic activity, and functional integration of endosymbiotic chloroplasts into the cells of the sea slugs were amplified and will be further continued in the elongation of the research stay.
14 dives were made to depths between 0m and 35m to collect sponges. Approximately 204 specimens were collected and preserved in 96% ethanol for later DNA sequencing and processing for the Ulster Museum collections in Belfast. There are very few sponge DNA sequences on Genbank at present, however they have revealed major conflict between the current classification (based solely on morphology) and molecular phylogenies. Hopefully the sequence data generated from these specimens will contribute towards a more robust classification of the Demospongiae.
750 photographs were taken of the sponges in situ. These images, together with images of spicules and skeletal arrangements generated using microscope facilities in Belfast, will be used to construct web-based identification resources. These will be made available to the Encyclopedia of Life (http://www.eol.org/) and World Porifera database (http://www.marinespecies.org/porifera/ ).
During our two weeks stay at the OOB we have collected sediment samples (sand) from different sites in the ambiance of Banyuls-sur-Mer. The aim was to extract marine gastrotrichs for phylogeographic and morphological studies. The stations which were samples are the following: Banyuls-sur-Mer (sublittoral sediment obtained with a Van Veen grab deploved from RV Nereis II); Gruissan-Plage (beach); Canet Plage (beach); Argelès-Plage (shallow water); Racou-Plage (beach); Canyelles-Almadrava-Puig-Rom, Spain (shallow water); Roses, Spain (shallow water). Except for two sites (Argelès-Plage and Racou-Plage) we found different species of Gastrotricha in our samples. While the sublittoral sediment bore a relative diverse community we extracted one species (Dactylopodola typhle) in high abundances from the sand of Canyelles-Almadrava-Puig-Rom. For the phylogeography study, several specimens of two species (Dactylopodola typhle and Neodasys chaetonotoideus) could be prepared for DNA-extraction and additional specimens were preserved in ethanol. Specimens of further species (Turbanella bocqueti, Thaumastoderma bifurcatum, Paraturbanella pallida, P. teissieri) were prepared to obtain DNA-barcode sequences.
For investigations of the nervous system in Gastrotricha by means of antibody staining and confocal microscopy, numerous specimens of the following species have been fixed in 4% formol, buffered with PBS: Dactylopodola typhle, Urodasys sp., Tetranchyroderma sp., Acanthodasys sp., Pleurodasys helgolandicus, Paraturbanella pallida, Paraturbanella teissieri, Mesodasys sp., Thaumastoderma bifurcatum.
Taking all the fixed/preserved material into account, our visit of the OOB was a very productive stay. The facilities (labs, optics, vessel) and support by the contact persons and staff of OOB was excellent and contributed to the outcome of this stay.

6 unexpected psychological reasons people get into fights
Why do we fight, when we are aware it is an anti-social behaviour?
Related topics
By Rafi Letzter
Arguing is (almost) never fun.
Whether you're fighting with your significant other, friends, colleagues, or family, a bad fight can leave you feeling unhappy and overwhelmed for days on end.
More often than not, it also keeps you from achieving the very goals you're arguing about.
A study of nurses found that when they argued about patient care on the treatment floor, they were less likely to arrive at a good decision, and lost focus on the task at hand in favour of interpersonal conflict.
But we don't always have a good sense of why we fight. What pushes us to the point of conflict, when we know it will make us unhappy? And why does it leave us feeling so glum afterward? These findings from the world of psychology offer some less-than-obvious answers.
1.You (or someone you know) have lots of power, but not much respect
One of the ways researchers think about interpersonal conflict is by analysing the situations that create it.
A series of studies found that in the workplace, people who are given lots of power but low status tend to spark an unusually high level of conflict. Put them on a task with someone else, and a "vicious cycle" of perceived insult and responses is likely to form, which can lead to arguing.
Source: Organization Science
2. You (or your partner) are not getting enough sleep
If you've followed the science of sleep at all, you know that missing sleep has all kinds of negative effects. It's bad for your health, your brain, and your ability to get things done.
But sleep seems to play an important role in arguments as well, even when you weed out the effects of related issues like stress and anxiety. A study that looked at couples in a laboratory found that when even one partner had gotten too little sleep, both partners were less likely to act warmly toward one another or resolve problems, and more likely to get into fights.
Source: Social Psychology and Personality Science
3. You're rational — to a fault
What do people say when they're arguing with someone who just can't seem to compromise?
Be reasonable. Be rational.
But it turns out too much rationality can actually make us more likely to argue with one another, not less.
Research suggests that humans are actually at their most reasonable when they're arguing, picking positions that are easier to defend from criticism and thinking over each choice and word more carefully. But that same reasonableness makes it hard for people to actually compromise or see one another's points. They use all their mental resources trying to overcome another person's argument, and none on examining it or seeing its value.
Our minds seem to deploy reason as a weapon, and a way of defeating another person, and it can blind us to the the truth.
Source: Behavioral and Brain Sciences
4. You're self-involved
Being self-involved improves the odds that after a conflict and its compromise, you find yourself feeling terrible.
A study of 261 students at National Taiwan University examined accounts the students gave of recent conflicts and compromises they had with their parents.
The researchers used the number of times the students said "we" as a measure of the degree to which the students thought of themselves and their parents as one unit, versus two separate units. Students who used the word "we" more often were more likely to feel better and have higher levels of well-being after a conflict than students who were more self-involved.
Source: Journal of Happiness Studies
5. You're not kind enough to yourself
One important factor in the way you resolve your arguments, and the way you feel afterward, is "self-compassion." That is, your capacity for being kind to yourself and taking heed of your own needs and desires.
People with low self-compassion tend to subordinate their own needs when they come to a point of conflict, and arrive at "compromises" that deal entirely with the other person's needs and leave them unhappy. Higher-self compassion tends to lead to better compromise, and less emotional turmoil after the fact.
Source: The Journal of Self and Identity
6. You're not authentic
Fights happen. Even if you were to take steps to change the way you go about your life so that you're perfectly in tune with your needs and the needs of others around you, you're going to run into people who don't take those steps. And sometimes you're going to have to stand your ground.
You get through those kinds of situations without feeling miserable afterward by being authentic to yourself.
Research has found that people who don't feel like they're subsuming or covering up their feelings or beliefs are protected from the emotional fallout of conflicts. They can get through a fight without feeling unhappy afterward. But people who don't feel authentic in their actions tend to wind up feeling down for hours or even days after a fight has ended.

Manny Delcarmen's Bowlin' For Strikes Benefit
After a long west coast roadtrip, the Boston Red Sox are back in town….and need to unwind. The Fenway neighborhood was alive again with excitement and a party atmosphere last night when Red Sox pitcher and Boston native Manny Delcarmen threw a bash to raise money for Boston Public Schools at his 3rd annual BOWLIN' FOR STRIKES fundraiser.
A summertime funky bowling party presented by New England Sporting Goods Giant NEW BALANCE, and sponsored by WAAF (radio), NESN (tv), and JILLIAN'S – Boston brought-out many of the Sox team and their families. In attendance at Jillian's were: Manny Delcarmen, John Lackey, Daniel Bard, Jeremy Hermida, Bill Hall, Mike Cameron, Clay Buchholz, Daniel Nava, Jonathan Papelbon, Josh Beckett, Jason Varitek, Mike Lowell, Tim Wakefield, Dustin Richardson, Scott Atchison, Adrian Beltre, and Angel Sanchez. (Quite an impressive showing!)
A fun and festive night was had by all who attended, and the money raised will be put to great use in the public schools of Boston. Thanks to all who donated their time, bid generously at the silent auction, bowlers, sponsors and spectators. (Special thanks to Sports Identity for their hard work putting this event together)

No "Blame It On The Rain" Video
OK, So it was a 50 / 50 chance of Rain Delay vs. Game Postponement last night at Fenway Park. The Boston Red Sox were scheduled to play the second part of a double-header that was supposed to start at 7:10 pm. That was NOT going to happen. Good thing I brought my rain gear. No way was I going to sit this one out at home and say "Oh Well…." I can get a little wet for the sake of the game, hell, I can get SOAKED for my Sox !! If they can get dressed and go out there and play a game in the rain and cold, then I will be there to watch them do it.
I never thought I would see the day that the line for Dunkin Donuts coffee was longer than the one for beer at Fenway. It was weird, but then again….so was watching the Boston Bruins hockey game at Fenway on the Super Screen while waiting for our Sox game to start. I was a bit disappointed that Fenway did not air the music video that was made for rain delays by Jonathan Papelbon and Manny DelCarmen called "Blame It On The Rain".
What I was NOT disappointed about was the performance of my team. Bailey had a great at bat with a 3-run homer that really got things going. Brad Penny was sharp, much better than Friday night's game vs. the Orioles. We've got to cut the guy some slack, he only just pitched his second game at Fenway. He's not in LA anymore, we are not a bunch of laid-back dudes that surf all day and hang in the Hollywood Hills by night…..we are up-tight, slightly stressed-out and extremely passionate Bostonians (and New Englanders).
Happy 50th Birthday to my friend Terry Francona (4/22), hope you had a good one Tito.
After Pap finished the Twins at 7-3, we officially have a 7-game winning streak going !!
On the way into Fenway, I ran into John Tomase of the Boston Herald and Comcast Sports Tonight – at the time, he thought the game was going to be postponed because the forecast was grim, but I am glad we all lucked-out. I did not want to have to pay another $30 to park again Thursday !! And my drive down is not so short either. Once again, the gods have shined their glorious light down on Fenway Park. (Hope I spelled your name right John)
Friday Night At Fenway
It was a glorious warm night with no wind, and a great sunset over the beautiful green Oasis of Fenway Park. (Once I finally got there through the horrid slow-moving traffic all the way back to the ramp on 93 !!) It was almost like an early June night, instead of one in mid April. I was ready to watch my Sox battle the Batimore Orioles and begin their journey to get back on track.
The boys started off slow, falling behind early with a 7 to 1 score. The Red Bull must have kicked-in, and they settled-in for a fight that would last all night. Brad Penny was having an "Off" game tonight. It was his first game starting at Fenway Park for the Sox, so it would be wrong to be hard on the man. On came Manny DelCarmen, who was having a good night, then Okie and Pap. We caught up to the Orioles by mid-game and fought to keep that lead….and triumphed in spectacular Papelbon fashion. Boston was working it's way back up the AL East standings ladder.
Before game start, I went for a walk and decided not to be my usual quiet smiling self, and ask for what I wanted. So I took the elevator, stairs and ramps up as far as I could possibly go in the Fenway "Nest"…..taking photos all the way. I wanted a really good shot of the park (was severely handicapped by my digital camera with NO WIDE ANGLE LENS ) but had fun anyways. I went almost everywhere I wanted in search for my money shot. Some old-timer let me stand on his seat in the Pavillion Club seating to get the right angle. It was a blast, but my feet were killing me and I was dead-thirsty by the time I got way back down to my seat to watch the game.
Enjoy the shots. (By the way, Sox won 10-8)

Today we did some free writing. I think free writing is helpful because its practice. More practice the better. Free writing is when anything just cones to mind, nothing mattes such as spelling and etc. I think free writing is better than real writing because free writing is about whatever comes in mind.
I free wrote about me losing my pen.
I am so upset I lost my pen. I was in english class today. My class starts at 8 untill 11. I was taking notes down with it. The pen was losing ink anyways. So I shouldn't be mad I lost it. When class was over I realize it was gone! Luckly I had one more pen.

I love this video. Seriously, I've watched this bad boy about six times and have pumped my fist each time that sneaky little fucker falls on his ass. And do you know what the best part is? The kid who was the intended target actually tries to lend the little weasel a helping hand. I don't know what's being said but I imagine it goes something like this:
Sneaky Douche Bag: "Fuck, I just broke my shit."
Intended Victim: "Relax Nikolai, you drink Vodka, get strong and we try again. No more jumping."

Constitutional provisions and health care services for illegal immigrants in some federal and regional EU member States: looking for best practices
De Pretis, Andrea (2014) Constitutional provisions and health care services for illegal immigrants in some federal and regional EU member States: looking for best practices. [Working Paper]. LUISS Academy, Roma. p. 17. Working Paper (6/2014). ISBN 9788868560171.
Download (369kB)
This paper deals with the health care services provided to illegal immigrants in three EU member States: Italy, Germany and Spain. The three countries have been chosen since they represent different levels of sub-national autonomy: a federal (Germany), a regional (Italy) and a community system (Spain). These three models provide different competences to Länder, regions and autonomous communities regarding health care services for illegal immigrants. In its first part, this paper describes the patterns of health protection adopted in the mentioned countries, in order to show differences and similarities, but also to evaluate possible best practices which allow better and more efficient services in this area. The second part of the paper illustrates special forms of health care services granted at local level. This represents a change of perspective which shows that local interventions and projects seem to be more effective than programs conducted at sub-national level. The paper concludes with the description of successful strategies and examples which could be adopted or implemented also at regional level, improving the quality of health care services granted to illegal immigrants.

Youth Adventure Trust Partnership
Ellis Brigham is proud to announce that we have teamed up with Youth Adventure Trust as an official partner. The trust uses outdoor adventure as a personal development tool for vulnerable young people, helping them fulfil their potential and lead positive lives in the future.
Vulnerable young peoples' circumstances can lead to them making poor choices that will affect the rest of their lives.The challenges these young people face are wide ranging. They include: bullying; struggling with the transition from primary to secondary school; low self-esteem; lacking friendships and suffering from social isolation; chaotic or unstable home lives; a lack of positive role models; low aspirations and low expectations of what they can achieve; behaviour issues; living in poverty, care or rural isolation; or caring for a family member.
The trust believes that an early intervention that starts at age 11 and is long-term, will equip young people with skills that will last a lifetime. They help them to overcome the challenges they face, make positive decisions, form friendships, exceed their expectations and achieve their full potential.
They have been using outdoor adventure to inspire young lives for 25 years. In that time, they have helped over 3,800 vulnerable young people aged 11 – 14. And they have delivered more than 27,000 activity days (including outdoor activities and workshops in music, arts and animation).
Today, their specially designed Youth Adventure Programme runs over 3 school years and includes 3 residential camps and 7 different one-day activities.
Kids enjoying the outdoors
Future Goals
This year the trust is celebrating their 25th anniversary, but rather than reflecting on what they have already achieved they are focused the next 25 years. There is an ever increasing need for their service, and they want to continue to deliver long term, quality interventions for the young people they work with.
They have set about implementing ambitious plans to develop the organisation, enabling them to help more vulnerable young people through outdoor adventure.
Their plans are two-fold:
- To improve the end of programme care by developing a mentoring and bursary scheme.
- To double the number of young people they work with over the next five years.
They rely on the help of 180 volunteers to deliver thier life changing programme each year. Their volunteers give them 7,250 hours each year – that's the equivalent of 20 hours every day of the year and is worth around £80,000 to the charity.
Volunteers on a training course
"On behalf of every young person who we have helped over the past 25 years, we thank everybody who has given their time, money or both, and look forward to the next 25 years of inspiring young lives."
They would like to invite individuals, local businesses, corporates and community groups to join them on their journey in helping more young people fulfil their potential through outdoor adventure.

What's up with my chickens...
Blog on keeping backyard chickens
Saturday, August 1, 2009
It's been a rough couple of days -- three more chicks hatched (all very late) and didn't survive. I don't know if it was poor development, temperatures in the incubator, or what. The first chick that hatched, now named "Stinky" :-( is still alone in the brooder box.

We find an interesting explanation in the Gospel of Peter. When Peter asked Jesus about all these people suffering in Hell, why the loving God can do nothing to save them. Jesus answered that he should keep secret, but all the sinners will be saved sooner or later. When the good people go to Heaven and look down at their suffering, they will pray, God will hear their prayers and sinners will have their chance. But if people know that, Jesus told him, they will commit even more sins, so their situation will be even more difficult.
Will all people be saved ? Will the beast be saved? Will God show his mercy..... will they be saved as by fire ? And what happens to this man of sin ? God created him?
Everyone will be saved eventually!!! Parent's heart cannot see his children suffer; their actions made them evil, despite his constant efforts to awake them for good, he wants them us fast us possible stop their evil and grow to the high realms of joy and peace. But that can happen only with love, never by force. That's why history of restoration had been prolonged for so long.
Fire depicts not literal fire, but the suffering and indemnity they go through, to purify themselves, repent and eventually become good children of God again, as he originally created them to be. The difficulty is, that a person cannot grow in the spirit world, without the physical body. For this reason Bible describes the Resurrection process. Spirits return to earthly people, cooperate with them to fulfill the unfulfilled responsibility and thus grow with our help and prayers. There are several Bible quotes describing this process.
How they will be saved and when ... will it accrue and the process involved.
God is the Parent of all the humanity. Jesus called him Father and talked about His heart and determination for everyone to be saved. To describe it, he said in proverb... he will live every sheep to find the lost one. He told them of the prodigal son - whom the parents forgave and were so happy to embrace again.
This way Jesus was teaching about God's parental heart. A parent will have no peace, no joy, no rest, until the last of his children is saved; until his children learn to love each other, instead of fighting
Paul, in Romans, clearly described that this will happen at the Second Advent.
He points few things:
(1) The complete truth will be revealed - so people will understand directly, not vague way
(2) The body will be liberated from Satan's shackles, therefore Mind and Body unity will be possible
(3) It's not good to marry until the Second Coming, but when he comes a wife will be prepared and he will make big weddings, where everyone will be invited - Meaning, for the first time people will be able to create families with God's blessing (out of Satan's realm).
To say it directly: People will start to relate with God directly, will reach Individual Perfection, then Perfect Families will appear, and from them a Society, Nations and World centered on God - which is the promised Kingdom of Heaven on Earth, Jesus asked to pray and work for, as highest priority in our lives.
And to sum up the Bible; Adam and Eve became False Parents, centered on Satan and immature - selfish love. At the Second Advent, the last Adam will restore perfect Eve and they will become the first restored Family - True Parents of humanity, by restoring God's lineage, liberated from Satan's dominion. Expanding this from family, to tribe, society, nation etc.. finally the whole world will be restored. And even the Spirit World will be liberated - meaning Hell also will be liberated.
What happens to the man used as Antichrist or the false prophet , are they not in the lake of fire to suffer endless the most evil death or punishment for being born? The man of sin is a victim of fate or wrath for being born.
Revelation 12:5 talks of the birth of the Lord of the Second Advent immediately after the raise of the Red Dragon (Communism), on the next page talks of it as the Antichrist, described as 666. Satan took the number 6 (6 day of creation). Before the 3rd Adam restores the world, Satan will try to take the world with 3 Antichrists, representing 1st Adam, 2nd Adam and 3rd Adam on the side of Satan.
That's why Jesus said, the Lord will return when you see 3 big wars - the 3 World Wars. The last one, was Ideological war (The Cold War). Jesus talk of it as the world divided on sheep and goats (those who accept religion and the denying God Communism (THE ANTICHRIST))
Jesus talked that God wants to save even the last unsaved person. That includes even the worse sinner. But to do that God needs a person who will bring such a true love, that will make even such evil people repent, change their hearts, become good, and help God's ideal. Who has such a power of heart. The Messiah, coming as a True Parent of humanity.
This is the reason Jesus was teaching us to LOVE OUR ENEMY, meaning those sinful people. Parental love makes the child change its bad ways, grow, mature and become good. This is the love that can change the world. But no religion so far could show such love. This is why the Second Coming is so important. We should realize that we are all sinners, we all fell short in front of God.
Can we find evidence of this process of liberation of the sinners?
Yes, we can. The book of Francezzo, "A Wanderer in the Spirit Lands", describes exactly how spirits ending in Hell and suffering are being helped and gradually grow through returning Resurrection (cooperation with the physical world). To be liberated from their own sins they help others in their own position. Through living for the sake of others they grow. Prayers of the earthly relatives are immense help, so needed for them.
"The physical world is Satan's sphere of activity while the spirit world is that of God." Father, CSGThe very same thing is described by Francezzo, the evil spirits are not developed to see and act freely in the spirit world, so they live influencing the physical world. Even though this book was written more then 100 years ago, Francezzo describes in detail information about the quantum energy field around us, that quantum science measures and observes only now. Francezzo even describes, how spirits get stuck in this energy and how high magnetic field can liberate them. This is also now a proven scientific fact. This very method is used by so many energy healers and can easily be observed with the new technology, like quantum analyzers, Aura-photography and so on.
Another book (Dr. Lee), also dictated as a message from the spirit world, describes concrete historic figures who were in Hell, how they suffered and how they were helped to understand their false philosophy and join such groups for spiritual growth and liberation. Names include; Adam, Eve, Judas Iscariot, Hitler, Lenin, Marx etc.
All these descriptions depict the spirit world in a much more real way. They depict numerous different levels of suffering in the spirit world, but nothing like people imagined in the past Christian descriptions.

Now there's a face!
November 6, 2016 | Faithful readers will remember that I have on occasion commented on the fact that there is another Paul Williamson who lives in the desert.
This other Paul Williamson writes letters to the editor of The Desert Sun. It is an understatement to say that his politics are the antithesis of my own, and each time I have "some 'splainin' to do" to reassure my friends that no, I do not harbor right-wing beliefs that from time to time emerge in the form of these letters. My friend Bob seems to read every single word printed in The Desert Sun, and he takes great glee in snipping out these letters and confronting me with them to deny.
Saturday night was no exception. When we met for dinner, he immediately drew a clipping out of his pocket saying, "I'm sure you would want to see this." Lo and behold, there was a picture of the aforementioned "other Paul Williamson" illustrating a long article about vigilante poll watchers in the desert, formally known as the "Election Integrity Project." As is usual with these right-wing things, they have come up with an innocuous name to cloak their true intent, in this case voter suppression. After all, who could possibly be against "election integrity"?
The Election Integrity Project, although it defines itself as non-partisan, operates as a platform for the conservative Heritage Foundation, the right wing Breitbart.com, and the Tea Party groups True the Vote and the non-profit iCaucus. Their website raises the ubiquitous fearful specter of voter fraud; their intent is to police the act of voting itself, to assure that "every lawfully cast vote [is] accurately counted."
So here are our very own volunteers:
The article in The Desert Sun, California conservatives to observe polling stations, revealed just how partisan these guys are. To join the meeting they would have to post a Trump/Pence sign in their yard and take two "Make America Great Again" hats. At a "training" meeting, volunteers said they would focus on polling stations that are overwhelmingly Democratic, and the meeting coordinator promised to send them a list of "vulnerable" places, such as campuses and senior care facilities.

The Jess Docker Show by Harry Saks at Pentameters Returns
Following a 2 week run in November, The Jess Docker Show, written & directed by Harry Saks, returns to the Pentameters Theatre, a fringe venue in Hampstead, north London, from 15 Jan to 3 Feb 2013.
Cast includes Andrew Fitch, Chloe Fontaine, Christopher Kouros. Produced by Leonie Scott-Matthews.
Contemporary play on maintaining artistic ideals in a dumb-down culture. If for ten years artistic success has eluded you and your relationship is fast imploding, what do you do? That is the dilemma facing low-budget filmmaker Tristan and his scriptwriter partner Holly. A potential solution presents itself: an appearance on the sleazy Jess Docker Show. Docker's show is the complete antithesis of everything the couple stand for: nasty, vulgar, dumb-down trash. Tristan is dead against it, Holly is mad keen. Her mind made up, Holly sets out to persuade the creepy chat show host to offer her a guest spot. But at what cost? Sex? Artistic principles? What else? Even if she does gain air-time will keep-fit fanatic, but emotionally unstable, Tristan wreck the whole thing? When principles are sacrificed trouble is inevitable in this tug-o-war of competing cultural doctrines.

Within the U.S., the marijuana industry has come an incredibly long way in just over two decades. According to a Gallup Poll from 1995, the year before California became the first state to legalize medical cannabis for compassionate-use patients, just 25% of respondents favored legalizing pot. Mind you, this was also during a time when the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program was still a mainstay in public schools.
However, just 23 years later, there are now 29 states that have broadly sweeping medical marijuana laws, and nine states that have OK'd adult-use cannabis. Gallup's October 2017 survey also found

If these were grade point averages, I would be ecstatic.
However, sitting here typing this with some soil still stuck under my fingernails from taking care of some roots and seedlings this afternoon, I cannot argue that I love working outdoors and do possess a fair amount of practical knowledge in the areas of gardening and landscaping. I also enjoy walking and hiking and taking photos of nature. So maybe it is not that surprising that the Naturalist Intelligence is my highest area. I think since this was my highest intelligence, my learning environment would include time outdoors to explore patterns in nature.
I find it a bit peculiar to see that my next two highest intelligences were intrapersonal then interpersonal. In some ways these two intelligences almost seem to conflict each other, but it could also simply be that I can thrive on working with others, but can also fly solo. I think if my learning environment was to be structured to suit my personal needs, there would be a variety of both group and independent work. Perhaps this could include group assignments that allow for brainstorming and sharing ideas, but then provide the opportunity for each person to work in a pair or alone and do their part with the group vision in mind. A time for written reflection of these activities would also be beneficial
I was a bit surprised to find that my language intelligence was only my fourth highest intelligence (3.29), since working with words has been something I have done most of my life. But I tend to be a lot stronger with the written word than the spoken word. So making time for story telling and reinforcing the importance of oral traditions would be helpful.
The rest of the intelligences came in at 2 down to 1.43. In terms of developing these other intelligences, some ideas that could possibly be productive are:
- creating charts and using images to reinforce or stimulate reading or writing (Spatial)
- participating in critical thinking games and deconstructing advertisements (Logic/Math)
- moving around during learning as I am thinking of ideas and brainstorming (Body Movement)
- creating poems that focus on the use of consonance and assonance (Musical)

Michelle Obama Hilariously Breaks Down Why Melania Trump's Inauguration Gift Exchange Appeared So Awkward
The former FLOTUS also explained to Ellen Degeneres how Barack stepped in and saved the day.
HARARE, Zimbabwe – Zimbabwe's mostly white-owned business won't immediately have to comply with a law that requires them to hand over 51 percent control to blacks, a minister said Wednesday.
Saviour Kasukuwere, the militant black empowerment minister from President Robert Mugabe's party, said implementation of the law on businesses will be delayed for more discussions.
The first deadline for companies to submit handover proposals was set for Thursday.
But Kasukwere told The Associated Press in a telephone interview that the law has been delayed for discussions with business leaders.
"They are consultations which must be made with various sectors and this is why the act has been set aside," Kasukuwere said.
Officials said the law will be implemented.
Rugare Gumbo, a spokesman for Mugabe's ZANU-PF party, said the law was being rescheduled to win more widespread support.
"We support empowerment but accept adjustments have to be made," he said.
The law was passed in 2008, when parliament was still dominated by Mugabe's lawmakers. It aimed to benefit "indigenous" Zimbabweans — defined as those who suffered under colonial-era racial discrimination and their children born after independence in 1980, effectively excluding the nation's 20,000 whites.
The announcement late February that the law, dormant for nearly two years, was being enforced shocked the business community a decade after Mugabe ordered the often violent seizures of thousands white-owned commercial farms, disrupting the agriculture-based economy in the former regional breadbasket.
The law came into force on March 1, giving businesses, including subsidiaries of foreign-owned companies and international banks, 45 days to comply by submitting their quotas.
Opposition lawmakers argued the law would scare investors and hurt the ailing economy.
The former FLOTUS also explained to Ellen Degeneres how Barack stepped in and saved the day.
"When my teacher asks me a question thinking I'm not paying attention, but I get it right."

A personal update
Last spring I experienced some post-menopausal bleeding and saw my doctor in early June about it. I'd been taking hormone replacements and I'm overweight. Bleeding is not uncommon because of the way fat cells store estrogen. I stopped the hormones and the bleeding stopped. But my doctor never saw a fat woman who could go home and forget about it. She said we still need to check it out.
The pelvic ultrasound was negative. The biopsy (which didn't happen until August, for Reasons) was not. On August 17 I learned I have uterine cancer.
People, I have the best doctor. I took her flowers.
So Thursday I'm having a full hysterectomy. The cancer cells taken in the biopsy were "level 1," which is a good thing. Still, you never take anything for granted. They'll do a pathology report and I'll find out next week what comes next. Hopefully, just radiation and lots of checkups for the rest of my life.
I'm looking on the bright side. I'll be home through the playoffs and World Series. I can stay up and watch those games that don't end before midnight and not have to get up for work the next day. I can read, and read, and read. Although I doubt there'll be a TBR post this month.
I'm good. Really I am. Cancer is a damn scary word. But so far, every indication is I'm one of the lucky ones. I'm surrounded by lots of love. I'm good.

Location: Albuquerque, NM
Website: www.4SquareCorners.wordpress.com
I've been fortunate over the last several years in being able to make my living by combining three of my greatest joys - writing, photography and woodworking.
For 10 years or so, until our family moved to Albuquerque, I worked as an associate editor on the staff of Fine Woodworking magazine. The job allowed me to travel the country, photographing and learning from some very fine craftsmen and women - wonderful people all.
We returned to the Southwest this past spring (2014) to be closer to family and, with my wife working full-time, I am now working as a freelance writer, editor and photographer. I plan to continue producing occasional articles for Fine Woodworking, with special attention to the great and growing woodworking community we have here in NM, Colorado, Arizona and Utah.
I joined LumberJocks because I am hoping to connect with other woodworkers in the area, and to share and learn from everyone. I'm excited to be part of the community.
Thanks for having me aboard!

Patron and Rick, thank you both for the welcome! Just getting my feet under me here in Albuquerque after a cross-country move earlier this year. Trying to get my garage shop set up…Patron I may take you up on that coffee offer, but I suppose I'll have to find someplace local to lay hands on some walnut first.

The paper addresses the position analysis of the 7-link Assur kinematic chain that features three binary links and four serially-connected ternary links. The analysis, aimed at finding all possible assembly configurations of the Assur kinematic chain, is carried out by first devising a set of three constraint equations in a corresponding number of unknowns. Then, by an original elimination procedure, two out of the three unknowns are simultaneously dropped out. As a result, a final algebraic equation of degree sixteen with only one unknown and free from extraneous roots is obtained. The sixteen solutions of this equation provide as many assembly configurations for the Assur kinematic chain in the complex field. Finally, a case study is reported.

In The Rights of Others, Benhabib argues that the transnational movement of people across the globe has brought to the fore fundamental dilemmas facing liberal democracies: tension between a state's commitment to universal human rights, and to its sovereign self-determination and its claims to regulate its national borders on the other. Re-conceptualises the boundaries of political membership in liberal democracies instead proposing 'porous' borders rather than open ones and a right to 'just membership,' advocating cosmopolitan federalism in the tradition of Kant. Banhabib's work goes to the heart of key issues faced in a world of forced displacement, Brexit, and increased protectionism.

The Brazil's real rose to its highest level in one week after a survey indicated that presidential candidate Marina Silva, who has promised to tame inflation and give the central bank more independence, will defeat President Dilma Rousseff in the election runoff.
The currency rose just under 0.1 percent to trade at 2.2609 per U.S. dollar as of 12:41 p.m., Sao Paulo time, the highest level since August 19. Swap rates, which measures expected swings in interest rates, rose 0.03 percentage point or three basis points, to 11.44 percent on contract that matures in January 2018.
"Silva would support inflation control, the floating exchange rate and cut government expending," Luciano Rostagno, a Sao Paulo-based chief strategist at Banco Mizuho do Brazil told Bloomberg News. "That is positive."
President Rousseff is fast becoming unpopular after supervising the weakest economic expansion in two decades. Rousseff is expected to attain 36 percent in a runoff vote against 45 percent for Silva, who was once Brazil's environment minister, an Ibope poll conducted on Aug 23-25 showed. The survey involved 2,506 respondents. In the first round, Rousseff will garner 34 percent of the votes, compared with 29 percent for Silva, while Senator Aecio Neves will net 19 percent of the total votes cast.
In order to boost the real and curb import-price increases, Brazil placed $197.5 million worth of FX swaps for sale and rolled over contracts valued at $494.4 million.
Silva recently became the Brazilian Socialist Party candidate after the death of Eduardo Campos in a plane crash on Aug. 13. She has promised to reduce inflation to 3 percent by the end of 2018 from July's reading of 6.5 percent, give the central bank more autonomy and review the fiscal policies that resulted in a credit rating downgrade.To register for a free 2-week subscription to ForexMinute Premium Plan, visit www.forexminute.com/newsletter.

Cobb to embrace her role as DLSU Lady Spikers peak in Season 80
MANILA, Philippines – Even with a complete roster, the Ateneo Lady Eagles were denied in straight sets by reigning champions De La Salle University Lady Spikers, who played with no pressure to go undefeated in the second round on Sunday, April 15.
The Lady Spikers made it a point to prove that they have recovered from their two losses in the first round against National University and Adamson University . With their game against Ateneo being a non-bearing game, graduating players Kim Dy, Majoy Baron, and Dawn Macandili gave their all to make the statement.
"W e're treating every game like it's our last. Of course, we're all out. It's now or never every game," said Dy in a mix of English and Filipino.
Younger players who stepped up in Sunday's game, like starting setter Michelle Cobb and Tin Tiamzon, are consciously playing their hearts out in the remaining games for the pride of their seniors.
"S iyempre, for our seniors, kasi that's what coach says, we want to give them the grandest exit, so 'yun ang motivation namin as a team," said Cobb.
(Of course, for our seniors, because that's what coach says, we want to give them the grandest exit, so that's our motivation as a team.)
Although the young DLSU players have been inconsistent, DLSU head coach Ramil de Jesus heaped praise on Cobb, who has earned the trust of her teammates.
" Ngayong second round, kumpleto sila [Ateneo], ando'n na 'yung confidence sa setter natin, nagkaroon ng tiwala sa bawat isa," said De Jesus.
(In this second round, Ateneo is complete, the confidence in our setter is there, there is trust among the team members.)
Cobb has yet to embrace her role as a setter even though she outplayed Ateneo's Deanna Wong in the setting department, 24-14. However, she has become a vital player, scoring 7 points off 4 blocks and 3 aces on Sunday.
" I'm still in the process of embracing my role as we go into the Final 4 and in our remaining games. My goal is to embrace my role .... I think that's gonna lighten it up for the team," said Cobb.
The Lady Spikers aim to continue their winning ways as they face 4th seed National University Lady Bulldogs next Sunday, April 22, at the Mall of Asia Arena. – Rappler.com

Wait - The Rescue Center
We have been so busy unpacking and getting situated. Our trip went very well and we hope to post pictures soon but I wanted to real quick like ask you to check out Real Hope For Haiti. Last night I read their blog and just groaned inside. They are such a stellar ministry serving in such a hard area of the World and they do it with so much joy and compassion. Anyway, times are tough for this ministry and maybe you'd like to jump in and sponsor a child with them. Check out the link above.

I got another message from a lady in Preston's ward, along with a short note:
She said, "Your son eating bolivian food in my house." :) It's great to see pictures, and know he's doing well and getting fed, and that the sweet members there are taking good care of the missionaries. (It looks like PJ just got a very short buzz haircut too...) :)
I wrote to PJ, asking him what this was & if he liked it. This was his response...
We've been visiting (this member) a lot lately, because her husband is preparing for baptism. The soup is called ''fricase''. It was kind of weird, but it was good. It was spicy, and I haven't had spicy food in forever!!! (Chileans like bland stuff). Every Saturday and Sunday, we eat with members, the rest of the days we eat with our mamita (who cooks really well!) I haven't really eaten anything really weird... Its mostly just rice, chicken, beans, empanadas...things like that. Empanadas are REALLY good!! There's an empanada place close, that we've gone to several times.... and it's like heaven!! The only weird thing I've been served was ''watita'' (cow stomach), but it was our mamita in Alto Hospicio, and she said ''you can try it if you want, but don't have to''.... so I didn't. There was also a werid soup I got once in Alto Hospicio, but that was like a native mapuche recipe or something, but I haven't really gotten much else really out of the blue. They have really potent olives here that are really gross, that they sometimes put in empanadas, but that's it. Anyway, love you, and have a good week!
Love, PJ

Can You Still Have Fun on a Debt Elimination Plan?
Absolutely! In fact it is strongly recommended that you do budget in a little fun money to keep feelings of being deprived and discouragement from taking over and derailing your debt elimination plan.
It doesn't need to be a lot of money, but enough to get some satisfaction out of it. Allowing yourself this pleasure is a good motivator in keeping your spirits up.
The fun money in a debt elimination plan can be compared to Weight Watcher's points system for weight loss. Within this highly successful system are points called 'flex points' which are to be used outside of the normal daily point allotment. Flex points can be used as one chooses either by saving all week for a splurge, or a few each day.
How much fun money is enough? If possible, $25 to $50 a month per person is the suggested amount. Anything less than that is likely to feel cheap and unsatisfactory. Of course, you need to stick to what you can afford and if $25 is too much than make it $10 or so. It's still better than no fun money at all.
Fun money should be spent on things connected to personal interest like books, magazines, hobby supplies, jewelry, knick-knacks for the house and so on.
Some of the things that fun money should NOT be used for include:
- Eating out
- Basic clothing
- Haircuts
- Personal appearance products (makeup, lotions etc)
These are considered normal expenditures and belong in the budget under separate categories. Many people think eating out should be cut from a debt elimination plan and it shouldn't be because you'll eventually give in.
Eating out is part of our American culture and there isn't any reason to forgo this pleasure totally. If you budget in a few dollars for eating out a couple times each month, you'll be a lot happier.
Clothing, personal hygiene items and hair care are considered necessities in our daily life, however most people spend far too much in these areas. The idea is to pare down costs using common sense and realize when a purchase is over the top - such as spending $175 for jeans, or $80 for a simple hair trim and blow dry.
Now that you know what fun money is and is not, you can realize the value of allowing yourself a small reprieve now and then while in debt elimination mode. It will help you to stay the path over the long haul until you are finally debt free!
