"Hungary and Germany are natural allies, and this must remain so in future", Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on Tuesday in Passau.
The Prime Minister visited the tomb of Queen Gisela of Hungary in Niedernburg Convent, where in his short speech he highlighted that: If "our German friends" had to find a country with which "they had never been at war for at least a thousand years, they would be hard pressed to find any apart from us".
"The history of the Hungarians is 'shrouded in shadow', and so what we do know about it for certain is particularly valuable, and one such thing is that King Saint Stephen brought himself a wife from Bavaria", he noted.
"After our first king died, Hungary sank into a dark period of civil war, and the outcome and whether we would succeed in remaining faithful to Christianity was doubtful, but the heritage of Gisela and Stephen was so strong, and they were so well-respected, that the situation was successfully stabilised and consolidated", the Prime Minister recalled.

Improve Your Social Network Marketing With These IdeasSocial media has become the driving force of the Internet. The ability for users of different sites to share created content has made it possible for information to be spread faster than anyone could have possibly imagined. If you would like to advertise through social media, then read the following article for advice on proper social media marketing.
Take the time to respond to the feedback from your customers. If you are interested in building a successful business, your customers have valuable information to share. The problem most companies have is that they are all ears and no response. When customers know you are responding to their needs via their feedback, they will want to continue doing business.
Find out where your customers are getting their social fix. You can leave yourself twisting in the wind if you start a social media campaign that reaches none of your target audience. You need to know if your customer base will be reading blogs, are tweeters or perhaps, they Facebook often. Research is the key to maximizing your efforts.
Establish your goal for a social media campaign. If you do not know what you hope to achieve with your campaign, you won't know when you have been successful. Are you looking for product awareness, concrete sales, or better customer service? When you can answer these questions, building a strategy is an easier step.
Allow your customers to follow you on a variety of social networks. Many individuals these days incorporate social media into their lifestyle, so allowing them easy access to your Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn profile is a surefire method of letting them have your content delivered to them when you post.
Imitate what successful people have done with social media and do the best you can to act as if you know what you're doing so that you can succeed as a social media marketer. At first, you can just do the same things your competition does, so study them carefully and mimic their techniques. Discover their social profiles. Analyze what they post, as well as the specials that they run.
Get a WordPress blog so you can use the WordPress Retweet button. This features allows your visitors to post a link to one of your articles in their Twitter feed in a simple click. You could also add Retweet buttons on your website if you take the time to code it yourself.
Social media technology is constantly changing so you must remain knowledgeable in order to make sure your strategy succeeds. Success relies on your commitment to being social. This will increase followers and improve your social media marketing strategy. Alternatively, social media campaigns consisting of fresh, current content can offer tremendous levels of success.
Respond to comments made by users on any social networking sites your company inhabits. You should check these at least once each day. You can also elect to receive emails each time you have a new notification. Keep in mind that everything you're writing as a comment or a response to one person can be viewed by anyone who goes to your site.
Provide unique content by setting your landing page up as a reveal tab in Facebook. You can include content that is a special video your followers may find interesting, or you can do something like provide a special coupon or voucher that is redeemable on your website. Unique and engaging content keeps followers interested in what you post, and it keeps them coming back to both your Facebook page and your website.
To spark feedback and activity in your social media marketing, run polls with interesting questions. Facebook has a good feature for this. Polls often go a little viral within social media, but also serve as good conversation starters with your subscribers and followers. It can also yield treasure troves of statistics you can use to target your demographics better.
Promote special offers via social networks. People will be more likely to find you on Facebook if they have access to more content and can get better discounts. Social media should be an opportunity for your customers to get to know you better and to get involved more personally with the brand and products.
Research your competitors' social media marketing methods. http://erwin9clarissa.blogkoo.com/turn-internet-promo-into-the-method-you-need-to-prosper-7589274 can be a great way to see what kind of methods work well, and you can also get ideas about what you don't want to do. Don't imitate them; use what you learn to put your own unique twist on social media marketing.
Only post information that is interesting or worth sharing. Do not habitually share content just to be posting something. You can share content which is hilariously funny or amazing to watch, but it should always be factual and relevant. Ask yourself, "Would I be interested in this if I saw it on someone else's page?" Don't post surveys or quizzes that offer your customers nothing.
One great idea for the content on your social media pages is to put up some great videos. If you have a video that people find especially funny or informative there is a chance that your viewers may pass these around to other friends which can increase the viewership of your page dramatically.
Take advantage of what makes social media so powerful, and actually interact with your consumers. Messages, comments, and forums can all benefit the business owner and help you learn what to do next. By interacting, you will build up personal relations, while also being given an opportunity to find out what you may have done right or wrong.
Even though http://olga99jamel.blog5.net/12575042/take-some-social-media-marketing-advice-to-use-to-your-advantage mean people buy more, you should not take this as a sign that you don't have to focus on your customers. In reality, focus should never move away from the customer. Always have back-up plans ready, and approach the holidays with fun in mind. Your potential buyers will be able to sense that you are enjoying it too, making them more comfortable to purchase.

Beth: I am a stay at home mom to two boys--Harrison -4 and Truman-2 (yes, the SAME names as fellow VKC member LishyLoo) They are the light of my life and I treasure every moment with them. I got started on etsy several years ago as a way to make extra cash and be home with Harrison. I was an interior designer b4 I had kids, working primarily for non profits trying to uplift their spaces with zero budgets. I think I have always had an appreciation for older things, reusing, and repurposing. My house is filled with antiques, hand me downs, and dumpster finds. Even though my shop is primarily kids items, I do enjoy finding vintage housewares and women's clothes and accessories as well.
Beth: I love things with a history. I so enjoy learning about some of my finds--the designers, or periods they came from, etc. You also can not beat the quality of vintage items.
VKC: Where do you find your treasures?
Beth: I scour thrift stores mostly---but do the occasional estate sale and garage sale. Its hard toting around my boys---I do get Saturday mostly to myself to thrift like mad. My supportive husband usually takes the boys hiking or biking.
Beth: I usually try to photograph many items in one afternoon while Tru naps. Most of the editing and listing happens at night, after the boys are in bed or very early in the am when just Tru and I are up. (I've got one early riser and one sleeper!)
VKC: How do you promote your business?
Beth: I started sponsoring a few blogs I enjoy---and this has really helped get my name out and increased traffic the the shop. I have also stepped up my tweeting and just started a Facebook page for the shop. I am LOVING finding an online community of like-minded folks. One of the hardest things about being a mom is the isolation--especially midwest winters. Its nice to get a tweet or a message thru Facebook on those days when you are stuck at home! The VKC group rocks!!
VKC: What do you do when you are not working?
Beth: I try to spend time with my boys---creating and running around. I love time with my girlfriends, too. We try to meet up once a month for a ladies night out. Oh--and spending time with my husband!! : )
VKC: What is your favorite item in your shop or that you have sold and why?
Beth: I sold a Marimekko dress that was to die for---it was too small for me-bummer. Currently I love my Heller dishes---might have to pull them for summer use!!
Beth: Its hard---some days I find that I spend way to much time on the computer. I try to plan things for the boys that are out of the house so there is no temptation. I also have days where I just put my mac away. Out of sight, out of mind!!

Bluegrass legend Earl Scruggs dies
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Bluegrass legend and banjo pioneer Earl Scruggs, who helped profoundly change country music with Bill Monroe in the 1940s and later with guitarist Lester Flatt, has died. He was 88.
Scruggs' son Gary said his father died of natural causes Wednesday morning at a Nashville, Tenn., hospital.
Earl Scruggs was an innovator who pioneered the modern banjo sound. His use of three fingers rather than the clawhammer style elevated the banjo from a part of the rhythm section - or a comedian's prop - to a lead instrument.
His string-bending and lead runs became known worldwide as "the Scruggs picking style" and the versatility it allowed has helped popularize the banjo in almost every genre of music.
The debut of Bill Monroe and The Blue Grass Boys during a post-World War II performance on The Grand Ole Opry is thought of as the "big bang" moment for bluegrass and later 20th century country music. Later, Flatt and Scruggs teamed as a bluegrass act after leaving Monroe from the late 1940s until breaking up in 1969 in a dispute over whether their music should experiment or stick to tradition. Flatt died in 1979.
They were best known for their 1949 recording "Foggy Mountain Breakdown," played in the 1967 movie "Bonnie and Clyde," and "The Ballad of Jed Clampett" from "The Beverly Hillbillies," the popular TV series that debuted in 1962. Jerry Scoggins did the singing.
After the breakup, Scruggs used three of his sons in The Earl Scruggs Revue The group played with rock acts such as Steppenwolf and James Taylor Sometimes they played before 40,000 people.
In a July 2010 interview, Scruggs said that in the early days, "I played guitar as much as I did the banjo, but for everyday picking I'd go back to the banjo. It just fit what I wanted to hear better than what I could do with the guitar."
Scruggs will always be remembered for his willingness to innovate. In "The Big Book of Bluegrass," Scruggs discussed the breakup with Flatt and how his need to experiment drove a rift between them. Later in 1985, he and Flatt were inducted in the Country Music Hall of Fame.
"It wasn't a bad feeling toward each other as much as it was that I felt I was depriving myself of something," Scruggs said. "By that, I mean that I love bluegrass music, and I still like to play it, but I do like to mix in some other music for my own personal satisfaction, because if I don't, I can get a little bogged down and a little depressed."

Almost 10 years ago, I started my first corporate job. I was scared. I didn't know if I could do the job, and I was afraid I would be discovered as a fraud, and be fired. Luckily, I found a mentor at the job almost immediately. My first mentor was an older woman named April.
April took me aside one day and asked me about meditation. She was a very spiritual person, and had all kinds of experience that I didn't have — Ayurveda, yoga, meditation and various other spiritual paths. She encouraged me to start a meditation habit. (I think she could probably see that I was a ball of anxiety.)
So, I started. At first I just sat cross-legged on the floor of my apartment while a few songs played on iTunes. I found it easy to concentrate with music in the background. Sometimes I left my eyes open, sometimes I closed them.
This was not my first experience with meditation. Years earlier, I had visited a Buddhist sitting meditation group, and stared at a flickering candle flame with my eyes open for an hour. It seemed like I didn't blink during that whole hour.
Although that early experience was transformative, it was simply easier not to pursue a meditation practice in the intervening years. It was easier until I was motivated by the fear of poor job performance, and the gentle urgings of April.
So I sat. Some weeks I sat for 2 minutes, some weeks I sat for 5 or 10. It was sporadic. It was unstructured. It was meditation. It was working. After a few years of this, I started getting more serious about it (it helped that the company had an optional morning meditation break). And I started getting results.
"Meditation more than anything in my life was the biggest ingredient of whatever success I've had… It opens the mind." – Ray Dalio
Here are 9 things that changed in my life from meditating:
1. A greater sense of calmness on a daily basis.
2. Everyday life became easier, frictionless. This extended from the most mundane tasks like washing clothes or cleaning my house or making food to the most previously-challenging tasks, such as tackling complicated or 'difficult' problems at work.
3. Freedom from what I recognized as "secondary emotions" — getting mad at myself for feeling sad, for example. I felt emotions fully, then they passed, and there was nothing after them.
4. Greater understanding and feelings of compassion for other people, and the benefit of this is that I felt angry at them much less often.
5. Rare moments of deep clarity where my inner monologue went completely silent. I had not realized that all my life I had a high-pitched whine of "inner voice" ringing in your ears. When it went away, the silence felt so good it was almost a physical sensation of pleasure. (I don't think it's an accident that the first time this happened was after a yoga class.)
6. Professional life became completely different. The things that used to stress me, such as deadlines, budgets, resources, agendas, politics — all become totally easy and fell into place. Instead of these worries, I found myself spending more and more of the work day just trying to magnify love into each moment, no matter what else was going on. I found this a much greater (and more rewarding) challenge than hitting quotas.
7. Insight. I understood problems quicker and more easily than before, and solutions to previously tough problems suggested themselves to my mind rapidly. Although I have yet to experienced it to these levels. There are stories of great lamas being able to diagnose problems with a car engine after a brief introduction to what some of the major parts are, but without ever having seen a car before.
8. Social and emotional processing at greater speeds. I would find myself in conversations with people and their motivations would become very transparent to me. I saw "through" people, saw when they were projecting, or being immature or egotistic in their words or deeds, and this made it relatively easy to maneuver around it without getting caught up in it.
9. I started getting bigger projects and more responsibility, which might have previously overwhelmed me. In my view, this was "Life" or "The Universe" amping up the size of life events, and the speed of change, simply because I now had more equanimity with which to deal with it — where I simply wouldn't have been able to manage before.
"If we could teach all children to meditate, we could change the world in one generation. – Dalai Lama
These benefits are by no means special or unusual. I've spoken to other meditators who have experienced all this, and much more, from a simple 20-minute-a-day meditation habit.

FreeWrite No. 2: That's the Last Time I saw Her
She surprised me. Like the shock of a jellyfish, eye opening and painful.
I wasn't like this.
This isn't me.
And from that moment I saw her, it took me seven years to be free.
She was always present, but never around. Not in the lunchroom or in the hall. Her photos confused me, but made my heart fall.
But… I wasn't like this.
This isn't me.
That flicker of light was blown out by heteronormativity.
I'd see her twice a year, three if the stars aligned, at this point in life I'd love to rewind, just because she had a perfect smile and skills to match.
She was a winner, but too hard to catch.
That year in high school was coming to a close. And it was the last stand off.
Home field advantage. But we never won.
I watched her walk away, the last time I saw her… Not even knowing she was my "someone".

Silence and Lodgepoles
I'll never know where my love of silence came from. Quite possibly from the fact that I come from the mountains, where the only sound is that of nature, where the winds make the pines swish, making their way down the seams in the mountains, to settle on the valley floor.
FreeWrite No. 1: The First Cut is the Deepest
I have began venturing into some free
writing activities, here's the first of many:
It was hard to get the fire started. I hadn't been a boy scout, and my dad was the typical accountant type–hair parted to the side, nasally voice, accompanied with an aversion towards the outdoors comparable to the plague. So, here I was, scraping the flint and tinder box with no accelerant. I felt like everyone was watching, but such was not the case. Everyone was hard at work, prepping for the ceremony. My ceremony. I cowered down inside, thinking to my self that I wasn't worth all the trouble, all of the–attention. But I had made this choice willingly.
Finally a spark took to the dried grasses I had half-hazardley picked.
As soon as I had chosen to do this my fate had been sealed. Only verbal agreement necessary. I was being inducted.
I blew on the fragile flame, watching it take to the sun-dried foliage. I cautiously added kindling to avoid smothering the flame, it was quite infantile, not yet able to breathe and grow on its on. I watched the others in the clearing until they turned my way, I motioned to them and they began to head over.
My temples started to sweat underneath my thick hair.
I couldn't keep this from happening now. The fire had been lit.
I could see the shadow of the small hare dangling by it's ears in Fisk's grasp, limply swinging back and forth with his gait. I silently hoped that the blood will have cooled by the time I had to touch it.
Anna and Thomas grinned at me when they got within sight, I returned a nervous smile. But they understood, induction night was always a bit tense. Behind me Fisk slit the hare's throat–who small head was strangely adorned in a crown of white alpine daisies and dandelions. The dark liquid pooled in the dust next to the fire, which was important, unbeknownst to me at the time. The blood had to be mixed with the soil before it could be distributed, to connect you to the earth in the area you were inducted in.
Each of us watched as the pool continued to grow, looking more like chocolate syrup in the low light. Fisk crouched down to a short stump and placed the hare gentle onto it. He then picked a daisy from the miniature crown and put it behind his ear like a cigarette, stuck his pointer and middle finger into the blood, removed them and then smeared the blood across his forehead over his brows.
I swallowed, too dry and too loudly, they could tell I was nervous. Anna and Thomas then followed suit, and then it was me. I took a breath and went to crouch down to retrieve my daisy, but I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked back and saw Fisk handing me a crown of my own! He moved closer to me, placed it on my head and then motioned towards the coagulating pool on the ground. I put my fingers into it, it was sticky and lukewarm, and I tried not to think of it when I smeared it on my forehead.
I stood and faced the small fire, which everyone had circled around. A quick glint of light caught my eye and I saw Fisk flipping open a pocket knife. I had known this was coming, it had been no secret–but still, it surfaced as a sickening surprise. One-by-one Fisk cut into our palms, I watched as the blade slice into my soft skin and left an oozing trail behind.
I felt something drip down my temple, was it sweat? Blood? I couldn't wipe it away, so it ran down the side of my face, tickling it as it fell.
Fisk cleaned off the blade on his shirt after cutting himself last. Anna smiled, almost graciously as he did so, and then interlaced her fingers with Thomas'. They then reached out to me. Me! I was dumfounded and unable to move. Finally I took a small step forward, held out each hand and felt each of them take one. And then there was Fisk, directly across the fire, across the circle. He told me that Mother Earth had chosen me. Anna squeezed my hand, and I felt our seeping palms squish into each other until the blood mixed and dripped between our fingers to the ground.
My stomach lurched, but I coughed it back. The pain made me wince. I looked up and across to Fisk. He smiled and said to me with a wink.
"Don't worry Daisy, the first cut is the deepest."
And it was then, that moment, that I knew I was going to be okay.
I look at you, and you look straight back at me.
Calling to me.
Calling for me.
Like a ringing in my ears.
I look past the imperfections until you are flawless to me.
And it boils down to one word:
After four years, I feel as if I've done my time.
The roar of the interstate I now identify as home.
The brown grasses that crunch beneath my boots.
And yet, it still doesn't feel like home. It doesn't feel like home. It doesn't feel like a place I want to come back to.
Where am I? Where is my home?
It's not here.
It's never been here.
But the home I once knew is gone. Erased.
I'm lost. My soul, lost.
The desolate miles of desert sagebrush mirrors my heart, empty.
I turn my face towards the bitter wind. It chafes my cheeks and snowflakes sting my skin.
But it's all I can feel. I want to feel something. Anything.
Don't hold your breath, breathe with me. Focus in your mind.. One. Two. Three.
I will always protect you, I will always be here. Don't cry, don't be afraid, don't worry my dear.
When your world feels unstable; like a splitting ice shelf. I will always keep you safe, even from your own self.
Back Again
Just as I expected I have neglected my blog for an extended period of time. I sat there and promised myself that I would be diligent with my writing to capture a steady following; however, my life has become nearly unmanageably busy the past few weeks. So here I am, after procrastinating for the past few months, my apologies.
In the past couple of months I have felt more like a college student than I ever had in the last two years here in Laramie. As I wrote in "I Wasn't One of the Four," I became a total introvert only serving my controlling boyfriend. I became a snail recoiling into her shell and shriveling at the salts of criticism from those who loved me. I just began treating the people around me the same as Michael treated me–horribly. Looking back on the past two years of my life disappoints me, and brings me close to tears at the thought of everything I missed out on. I met him the second month of my freshman year, so the genuine dorm experience I should have had became completely obsolete. Which bums me out terribly. I loved living in the dorms, contrary to others beliefs I had so much fun experiencing that type of living situation that only comes around once in a lifetime. And I threw away 3/4 of it for the first guy I met. Pathetic Katherine. Absolutely pathetic.
But here I am, bouncing back two years later–and what sometimes feels like two years too late. For the first time in 730 days I am absolutely exhilarated at the thought of the life that lies before me. I actually feel like I have options and the freedom to travel and speak my mind, to make new friends and establish new relationships. I have hope that I will grow into the woman I have always wanted to become, the woman that loves herself just as much as she loves life. And I can see myself blooming into her. Just within the past three full months of my complete freedom from the abusive oppression I was enduring I feel alive again.
I know this because people have begun to see me the same way they did two years prior: a happy, thoughtful, giving woman with a constant smile on her face. Sure, I'm exhausted when I get up in the morning after a full day of classes and working until 11:00 each night. And yes, I hate the world and the sunshine for those first few alarm beeps, but after I open my eyes and begin to remember just how great of a life I have that smile gets plastered on my face for the day.
For the first time in my life I feel absolutely beautiful. I went ahead and participated in a nude photo shoot, which is something I have wanted to do for years. I feel like a grown ass woman. I've finally finished attempting to fit into a size 4 and starving myself all day. Curves are great, and I never thought that they would make me feel so grown up and mature. I am finally comfortable in my size 6 at 145 pounds, you know why? Because I'm healthy, and when you're healthy you feel absolutely wonderful.
In the past few months I have reconnected with my best friend, and created a new group of people to hang out with. My own group of friends that share the same beliefs as I do,and I am no longer piggybacking off of my boyfriend and trying to fit in with those ignorant assholes he hangs around. I have once again begun my battle with the social issues that riddle our society and have become an ally to multiple groups. I have spent an ample amount of time with my family and strengthened the ties that were so very weakened from the past two years of neglect. I have stayed at an old guy friend's house over new years and shared that 1:00 a.m. kiss with him. He was more or less a stranger at this point–having not seen him for five years, but it still felt right… not in the soulmate romantic way, but in the way that I knew what I was doing was making me happy. I proceeded to cling to him on a beautiful snowmobile ride that took us so high into the mountains that we were level with the backside of the Tetons, the view was breathtaking. I have excelled in my new job of Copy Desk Chief, I have begun to thoroughly enjoy my classes once again, and finally . . . I can tell that my soul is irrevocably happy.

Sergio Aguero admits his days at Manchester City are numbered but will fight for place
The ex-Atletico Madrid forward says he knows he will eventually have to make way for younger players at the Etihad
SERGIO AGUERO knows his days are numbered at Manchester City - but says he is not ready to give up his place just yet.
The Argentina forward had a rare off night in the derby against United on Thursday after scoring 12 in his previous 12 matches.
Brazilian ace Gabriel Jesus - who took Aguero's spot in January - is now fit again and made his return from the bench.
Keep up to date with ALL the Premier League news, gossip, transfers and goals on our club page plus fixtures, results and live match commentary
The ex-Atletico Madrid forward says he knows he will eventually have to make way for younger players at the Etihad.
But with 30 goals to his name already this season, he will look to raise his game and keep Jesus waiting.
Aguero's goal at Wembley last weekend means he is now joint second in the club's all-time scorers list with 166.
He said: "Of course Gabriel is a very good young player, which is why he's at City. I know there will come a time when I have to step aside.
"Other young strikers like Gabriel Jesus will be brought in.
"When you reach a certain age the youngsters start putting pressure on you and you have to be even better.
"I'm happy he's back now and that means I'll have to be much more focused and alert when I play. "
Pep Guardiola took the huge decision to leave Aguero out back in January - but he got his chance once more when Jesus broke his foot.
The young Brazilian ace is likely to be eased back into it rather than rushed with the top scorer in decent form.
But Aguero said: "If i have to start on the bench once again, I'll have to accept it. That's football, I always respect my coaches and I certainly respect Pep.
"I just want to play and give my all until the end of the season."
most read in football
His future beyond then remains unclear and he is due to hold talks with the club once the campaign is over.
Guardiola is sure that Jesus and Aguero can play together - while the Argentine is quick to point out he has played as a second striker before.
He told Sky Sports: "I always did at Atletico. People don't know, they think that I'm a number 9 but I've only become a number 9 over the last two-and-a-half years at City.
"I've been playing as a number 9 here. Pellegrini often played me as a lone striker and it's been the same under Pep.
"I've been adapting to it over the last years. Maybe people look at my goals and say 'What a number 9'.
"Pep asks me to play as a number nine and stay in that position.
"i often drift out wide during matches and he looks at me and says 'if there's a player who wants to cross it in, who is in there?'.
"I've learned a lot from him in terms of zones. Also how to press and do it well."

Lots of paper work to fill out, we run left to inform the change of address with your bank, your mutual health insurance, your public services provider and much more, not counting the endless hours spent on phone to activate or change the new phone line, well for those of you that still have a "phone line".
If you find that you are not content with your current policy and you want to transfer to another insurance company that offers better insurance features and better coverage, you will need to know that previous work that was insured with your previous policy will no longer be covered by your new policy unless you have something done about this.

We may now, finally, ask about the role of the natural world in this universal peace. Two points suggest that, while clearly not dominant in Paul???s argument here, a restoration of the natural world is included. First, to reiterate a point made earlier, verses 15???20 explicitly emphasize the cosmic dimension of Christ???s lordship. If the natural world is included in the scope of the ???all things??? that Christ rules as mediator of creation, it must also be included in the scope of the ???all things??? that he rules as mediator of reconciliation. Second, Rom 8:19???22 demonstrates that the world of nature has in some manner been effected by the Fall and is, therefore, in need of restoration. At the minimum, therefore, Col 1:20 confirms our findings from Rom 8:19??? 22 and projects them into the present: the eschatological fulfillment of God???s promises continues, according to the NT witness, to include the ???land,??? expanded to the entire cosmos; and that program of fulfillment has been inaugurated already. But what will this ???reconciliation??? look like? With humans, as we have seen, reconciliation involves especially a restored relationship with God. With evil spiritual beings, on the other hand, it involves subjugation. What is involved is a restoration (with eschatological intensification) of the original conditions of God???s first creation. God???s people will be brought back into a relation of harmony with their creator; evil will be judged and banished; the earth itself will be ???liberated from its bondage to decay.???[95] Furthermore, while the ???vertical??? dimension of reconciliation is clearly to the fore in verse 20???God has reconciled all things ???to himself??????a horizontal aspect is probably included as well.[96] This is because the pacification of spiritual beings has specific implications for Christians??? relationship to them: because God has subjugated them to himself, they have been ???disarmed??? and no longer have the power to determine the destiny of God???s people. Therefore, we might suggest that the reconciliation secured by Christ means that nature is ???already??? restored in principle to that condition in which it can fulfill the purpose for which God created it and thereby praise its Creator (cf. Rev 5:13). At the same time, reconciliation may also imply that Christians, renewed in the image of God (see below), are both themselves brought into harmony with creation and, in light of the ???not yet??? side of reconciliation, are to work toward the goal of creation???s final transformation.
cf. Douglas J. Moo,??The Letters to the Colossians and to Philemon, PNTC (Grand Rapids, Eerdmans, 2008), 133-137.95 Somewhat similar is Thomas Torrance???s notion of redemption as a ???reordering??? of the cosmos, a restoration of the God-given order present in creation (cf. Divine and Contingent Order [Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1981] 138; see also McGrath, Nature 175???76).96 Several scholars suggest, indeed, that Paul???s notion of reconciliation here might be at least partially indebted to Greek and Jewish notions of the need for a cessation of the strife that char- acterizes the world (see Eduard Schweizer, ???Vers??hnung des Alls (Kol 1,20),??? in Jesus Christus in Historie und Theologie: Festschrift f??r Hans Conzelmann zum 60. Geburtstag [ed. Georg Strecker; T??bingen: Mohr Siebeck, 1975] 487???501; Hartman, ???Universal Reconciliation??? 109???21).

Wheelchair Vs Pushchair
So, this afternoon I'm in a bus, and this mother boards the bus with a cute baby who was fast asleep. A few bustops later, a lady on a wheelchair stops the bus. The bus driver yells for the lady with the baby to either get out of the bus or fold her pushchair. We all started talking to each other at the same time, more like 'is that right?, can u believe that? The woman stood her ground and said NO. The bus driver switched of the bus engine and demanded she gets out of the bus to give room for the wheelchair user. She said No.
We stuck there for a good 7-10 minutes and another bus came. The wheelchair user boarded it.
We were all left wondering whether some people are more equal than others. When I got home, I was so upset with the driver that I had to get an explanation, and guess what I found this from a bus operator website:
There are specific legal requirements placed on bus operators regarding the carriage of wheelchairs. The law requires all new buses (since 1999) to be wheelchair accessible, and lays down precise details of the dimensions and features of bus construction to allow wheelchairs, up to a certain size to be carried on buses.
There is no legal requirement regarding buses providing for the carriage of prams, buggies, or any "baby or toddler transport device".
The primary reason for there being a wheelchair space on buses is to allow wheelchair users to travel on the bus.
Our policy can be summarised as –
wheelchairs have priority;
if the wheelchair space is not required for a wheelchair, anything/one else can occupy the space; but only on the understanding that they vacate the space if it is subsequently required for a wheelchair.
This means that whatever is occupying the wheelchair space, be it standing passengers, passengers sitting on the "tip-up" seats located in the wheelchair space, suitcases, bulky luggage or any baby or toddler transport device (buggy/pushchair) etc, has to be moved out of the wheelchair space to make way for a wheelchair if a wheelchair user subsequently wishes to board. Thus whatever is in the wheelchair space has to be capable of being moved (and safely stored in the luggage rack or elsewhere) when required.
This policy has been in place unchanged since the advent of wheelchair accessible buses some 9 years ago and all wheelchair accessible buses display 3 signs shown below which clearly state the requirements.
But to wake a sleeping baby, seriously whoever set this policy has no children.
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the disabled, but an innocent child....

For me this is a no-brainer. Waking up a sleeping baby and managing the inconvenience can never be equated to the need for accessibility.
I personally know people who've risked their lives by chaining their wheelchair to a moving London bus to earn the right to use public transport like everyone of us.
The issue here is that the mother and baby have options - a person in a wheelchair does not. Like your research shows, the law is crystal clear on the right to accessible public services for the disabled unless it means waking up the dead.
Those who feel uncomfortable about the inconvenience of waking up a child should try the inconvenience of living in a wheelchair.

ok wanted to add my voice on it but clearly DS has convinced me otherwise
- 8 December 2009 at 07:44
- Darius Stone said...
LOL! Joyunspeakable.
Please feel free to air your views. Mine was simply to highlight the vanity of us mere mortals in taking for granted the priviliges we have in life - like that of having the ability to get on a bus without having to resort to threatening to use the disability discrimination act to do what 99% of passengers in the bus can do.
The driver may have seemed anally retentive to many, but even he knows how black and white the law is on this one. Convenience (in this case that of not waking up a sleeping child) can never be equated to the right for a disabled person to access public services, an inalienable human right that all of us enjoy and is so often taken for granted.
- 8 December 2009 at 07:58
- SisBigBones said...
I have to wonder how the bus is designed, and why only one person can use the wheelchair accessible space? The buses in the US are legally required to be wheelchair accessible too, and they have enough space for at 4 - 6 people to use.
I agree with DS...the driver had to choose between convenience and the law. Perhaps he should have tried to explain the law (nicely) to the lady. That might have made a difference.
- 8 December 2009 at 12:05
- Mo said...
Driver should have been nicer about it. You dont yell at people like that. The mother probably felt she'd lose face by giving in to such blatant rudeness.
Nonetheless yeah, accessibility for the differently-abled trumps.

- Maua said...
Guys, thanks for making me see this. I work in a hospital where Equality and Diversity issues have been hammered in, but I guess I saw it differently.
London buses run every 5-10 minutes, if you miss one, there's one behind. I thought, mark me, I thought (thinking is fine, not doing) if I'm fighting for access to a service I'd expect fairness. Telling this lady to get out came out so bad, and considering the situation then, it didn't seem fair, it was more of special treatmet.
I do apologise to any hurt feelings.

- KK said...
It is unfortunate that people with disabilities had to wait till nine years ago to be able to have guaranteed access to your bus system.
I liked a quote I heard in the movie 2012 - 'It is at the point when we stop fighting for one another that we lose our humanity.'

Hi, I work with Deaf and disabled people in London and it is really frustrating for anyone in a wheelchair to get on a bus. So many times disabled people have missed appointments and colleagues of mine have come in to work hours late, because bus after bus came in full and left them.
Just last week, TFL held a meeting to hear the views of Disabled people. About time too. One wheelchair space in a bus that has as many seats as London buses do is quite frankly, disgraceful.
- 15 July 2010 at 23:31
- Tanisha Hertzler said...
Yeah, this is the kind that will tear you apart. You don't know which is right and just. Providing a space for the disabled or for the women with babies? I just hope the law will be amended, and they also respect the right of those carrying babies while traveling in public vehicles. That is, without compromising the right of the disabled as well.

The Form Analytics feature has a location tab where you can see all the countries where your form gets traffic. However, this feature is only available to your account and cannot be made public.
If you want, a workaround I can suggest would be to integrate the form with google spreadsheet. Here's our guide: How to Integrate Form with Google Spreadsheet. Then you can follow this guide on 7 ways to map that data: INTERNET 7 Ways To Make A Google Map Using Google Spreadsheet Data

Monique Meier, founder of enSoie, crafts all the ideas with her own hands in intense sessions at the in-house atelier above the store. Monique creates mythical creatures with gnarled faces, called "les animaux fabuleux", or beaming hooks and buttons. No pen or paper needed, only a lump of clay, artistically shaping, experimenting, studying and re ecting. There is still an element of mystery behind the creation process; ultimately, every object has its very own character.
All our bronze objects aim to make us appreciate what's around us a little bit more and add that certain something to our homes: a chandelier to strike just the right ambiance for a cosy get- together, a hook to hang up your favourite coat, a knob to open and close your
drawer and keep your precious cashmere safe, and so much more.
For the majority of our production, we head out into the rural countryside in the Canton of Schaffhausen, Switzerland. There, two men, two generations, united by one passion, work side by side. In Max and Martin, the "Meister und Geselle", we have found our perfect partners to carry the business forward. They belong to a small group of founders who master and apply traditional hand-casting techniques. The final touch, again, is added by Monique Meier herself. The "patinage" is the finishing process where the colour and texture nuances bring the object's personality to life.
The company's premises have been enriched by objects cast in bronze since the late 1980s, such as the dancing rabbits (1987), enSoie's iconic symbol and lucky mascot, or the grand chandelier (1990). At enSoie we pursue long-lasting collaborative relationships with selected local artisanal manu- facturers and partners from abroad.

FIFA U-17 World Cup: England, USA and a quarterfinal set to light up Goa
Time flies by so quickly, we are now just seven games away from seeing a team lifting the prestigious FIFA U-17 World Cup in Kolkata. The tournament has been nothing short of amazing so far. Over 130 goals scored in a span of 42 games since the tournament started. We have seen some brilliant performances from dark horses like Iran, Mali and Honduras as well as the usual performances from favourites like Brazil, Spain, Germany and more.
When Goa was announced as a venue for the FIFA U-17 World Cup in India it was also announced later that nine games would take place in the state. Six group games, two Round of 16 games and one quarter-final. It now looks like Goa will host what promises to be the most spectacular of the quarter-final games on paper.
England won a hard-fought game against Japan who made an excellent effort on the pitch and managed to take the game to penalties but England's Curtis Anderson pulled off a save and Nya Kirby scored the winning penalty to help England progress. While the USA had a more comfortable progression with a thumping 5-0 win against Paraguay thanks to a hattrick from Timothy Weah and a goal each from their star players Josh Sargeant and Andrew Carleton.
This will come as great news not only for football fans but also Goan fans who will get an opportunity to watch red-hot England will take on the Dominant USA at the Fatorda Stadium on the 21st of October, Saturday at 8 pm and this is one game you absolutely cannot miss.
Let's have a quick look at the two teams, how they've done in the tournament and what to expect from the mouth-watering clash on Saturday:
England has been in great form, scoring a stunning 11 goals in three games during the Group stages and conceding only two. The runners-up of the U-17 European Championship are taking part in only their fourth FIFA U-17 World Cup Tournament and surprisingly, they have not got past the quarter-finals in any of their first attempts.
The Three Lions will bank on the experience and exposure their players have obtained from playing for different high-level Premier League clubs back home in England and look to progress to their first ever semi-final.
Players to watch out for
Phil Foden, George McEachran, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Angel Gomes and Rhian Brewster
Key Stats
• England have scored 63% of their goals (7/11) throughout the tournament in the second half of games.
• England have scored the joint-most number of goals from set pieces in the tournament along with Paraguay (three).
• Jadon Sancho has been England's top performer with three goals and two assists in three games but the winger, unfortunately, had to return back to Germany as he was recalled by his club Borussia Dortmund.
• Goalkeeper Curtis Anderson has the second-best save rate among the keepers from the final eight teams (80% save rate)
The USA were drawn in a tough group with Colombia, Ghana and of course hosts, India. But they didn't let the magnitude of the competition and reputation of their opponents bog them down. They are also one of the few teams in the world to have qualified for every single FIFA U-17 World Cup since its inception.
The stars and stripes, however, have never got past the quarterfinals except on one occasion in 1999 where the US team reached the semis bust lost out to Australia on penalties in the edition where arguably USA's greatest ever player, Landon Donovan was the star of the tournament.
The US team scored five goals in their group games but definitely took it up a notch in the Round of 16 game against Paraguay by scoring five goals, with this strong statement, the US team will look forward to progressing to their second only semi-final and maybe even go all the way.
Players to watch out for
Josh Sargeant, Timothy Weah, Andrew Carleton, Jamie Sands, Chris Durkins
Key Stats
• USA has scored the second highest number of goals from open play (nine) with Mali (13) being the only team scoring more than them in open play from the final eight teams.
• USA has a shot accuracy of 39.5% in the tournament, which is the highest percentage of on-target shots on goal among all the final 8 teams.
• Andrew Carleton is the joint highest assister (with Germany's Fiete-Arp) among the final 8 teams in the tournament (three assists)
• A few months prior to the U-17 WC, US forward and captain Josh Sargeant also played for his country at the U-20 World Cup, becoming the youngest US player to score at an U-20 World Cup. The forward has also announced that he will join Werder Bremen in Feb 2018.
The game looks to be a scintillating prospect and even more so being the last and final game that Goa will host the FIFA U-17 World Cup 2017. It definitely looks like the perfect game for Goa to sign and it's evident with the way ticket sales are going, tickets are selling quickly with most of the stands already sold out while we have also received news that an additional 1400 seats that were reserved for other purposes have been released to the general public for booking.

Rear Window.
Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window based on a Cornell Woolrich short story ("It Had to Be Murder") http://tinyurl.com/5vymtfo hit the US cinema halls in 1954. Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine was launched in 1955. Alfred Hitchcock Presents, produced by his Shamley Productions, was launched on CBS the same year. The first successful TV soap in the US, Search for Tomorrow (CBS), had debuted three years prior to Rear Window's theatrical release. To Charlotte Chandler who wrote It's Only A Movie, Hitch described Rear Window as "a movie about a peeping Tom" and likened it to a tabloid ("a kind of peeking"). I wonder, though, if Hitch ever thought of Rear Window as the perfect metaphor for television. He described it as a "close medium" where you had to get "in close as fast as you can" and where you had "to write with the camera" rather than go "photographing dialogue", i.e., tell the story visually. This does not answer my query. It's possible that Hitch, living up to his taciturn nature, did not articulate his thoughts about the nature of the medium which had made him "an instantly recognizable celebrity all over the world" like Elvis Presley.

A year ago, during the optimist kayak symposium, the seed of sea kayaking expedition was planted.
I met Jeff Allen and Justine Curgenven, heard the stories, talked alot to Hadas Feldman
(Who agreed to be the expedition manager), and decided I also want some of it.
After guiding for a few years, and traveling around with white water kayaks. I thought I must try this as well.
Since then, I spent hours on Google earth. I measured the length of the coasts around almost every island on the blue planet. The conditions I set came from the time limits I had, the time of year I wanted to paddle in, and gut feeling.
In this virtual circumnavigation of the globe, I met other paddlers, always keen to help. Each place I found attractive, I looked if someone have already paddle there. So the combination of "………. Kayak circumnavigation" came more then once on my Google search bar.
One of the more interesting paddlers I talked to was Anthony Malloch. The guy has a great web site, describing some amazing expeditions in Australia. Actually, after hearing his crocks stories, I decided not paddle to Papua New Guinea.
Then Sharon, my girlfriend said something about Chile. At first, it looked like to long expedition to take (considering the time limits). But then, the more I gave it a though, it looked as if another month won't be too bad.
So, I began by buying a pilot book of the region. Then started to talk about it to friends and this is how I got Roy into it and he brought On.
From that point, there was no turning back. With Hadas's help, we got REED and WERNER and OPTIMIST as gear sponsors. LARABAR as energy bar sponsors, and even Limor and Udi who kayak with us, offered their help with the logistics expenses.
Along the way, almost everyone around us gave a hand.
So now we are exactly 2 weeks from the flight to Santiago. And after a year that almost every experience I had was in the light of the upcoming adventure, it only gets more intense.
For example, waking up to a first rainy Saturday in Israel, gets different meaning, when you think that the next time will probably be in a wet tent with On and Roy instead of here with Sharon…
We still have some gear arriving soon, On is working on the Solar system and Roy keeps studying the weather.
We still have this year's symposium ahead of us, a few vaccines and some packing to do.
This time was with no pictures, sorry. Hope the ones yet to come will compensate for this bare post…

(this means happy for those that might not have heard this phrase) by this and have been trying to play it non-stop.
When we were out shopping, we joined the HUGE queue in the local game shop and purchased a couple of games to try out - Mario Galaxy and Just Dance 3. Of course, we had to play these IMMEDIATELY but we had to time them so there weren't too many arguments between the kids.
Just Dance 3 was brilliant but we could only do the arm motions. Hopefully we'll get a little better and soon be jumping all over the place. My only complaint is that I was doing really well but got confused at the end about putting on my profile - Miss Bucket thought it was brilliant that I saved it to hers, so she had a really good score.
The Mario Galaxy is fun but you need two controllers for this, one in each hand. So it was left to me to start it off and try the game.... 2 hours later, my back and shoulders were killing me. I had the family telling me what I did wrong and giving me 'helpful' advice, and how I should play it and then saying "do it again".
Mr Bucket then had a go and I should say at this point that he doesn't really 'do' computer games of ANY sort. I sat back and watched as he did really well and just whizzed through the game. Although it was only up to the point that I finished - of course, he'd watched what I'd done so he knew how to get through the levels each time - BIG CHEATER!!!!!! I'm making him go first next time.
Don't get me wrong, we love board games - Sorry, Monopoly (that game goes on for ages) and Rummikub are a few of our favourites. But the Wii is a lot of fun using hand/eye coordination and it gets the kids jumping around which must be a good thing. Sam xx
