I'm status on the best of a mountain. There is snow throughout and the solar is simply beginning to set at the horizon. Everything remains to be and rapidly a stag, together with his complete set of antlers silhouetted by means of the atmosphere solar, stumbles onto the scene. I pull out my iPhone, swipe to the left to open up my digicam app and snap the paranormal scene. "Not Enough Storage". The deer snorts, and walks again into the pines.
Okay, that by no means took place. But my God is it traumatic when you'll be able to't take an image as a result of your pitiful iPhone garage is complete, and there's no probability I'm paying Apple's iCloud costs to sync my photograph library there (£6.99 a month for 1TB).
I had searched for tactics to get to the bottom of the issue, flirting with iCloud however discovering the similar previous "not enough storage" factor past the tiny 5GB loose garage tier. I sponsored my footage as much as a bodily arduous pressure, however this was once no just right once I sought after to sing their own praises my 'Banff 2016' album to a stranger.
Then somebody informed me in regards to the Google Photos app, which was once launched in the summertime of 2015, and I believed it was once too just right to be true. Unlimited photograph backup, on my telephone, and with fast view features for all the library proper there on my telephone and throughout any software the place I am logged into my Google account.
Okay, it did take me 3 days of off and on importing to get my complete library sponsored as much as Google Photos, however as soon as they're all there it's set for existence. I used to be in a position to prevent backing as much as iCloud right away, opening up some garage there, after which transparent a forged GB of garage from my iPhone arduous pressure right away.
The actual kicker with Google Photos is the generally chic and easy consumer revel in. Similar to Gmail or Google Docs, the design is saved blank, easy and intuitive, with footage organised in chronological order and a unmarried seek bar positioned on the best.
There are your standard albums and in addition a photograph assistant which can randomly produce Instagram-style filtered photographs out of your library, which it calls a 'stylised photograph'.

The seek bar is the place Google Photos in reality stands proud, and will get a little bit creepy.
Without tagging anything else I used to be instantly in a position to go looking 'Nashville' and all footage I took within the town got here up right away.
This is conceivable due to a gaggle of Google builders, led by means of pc imaginative and prescient specialist Tobias Weyand, who've been development a deep-learning machine known as PlaNet, which will decide the site of footage simply by its pixels, now not the geo tag. Full main points of the venture can also be learn over at MIT era overview.
Google's powerful pc imaginative and prescient algorithms additionally permits Photos to hit upon 'football', 'stadium' or perhaps a position title like 'Stamford Bridge' very easily. It may just even hit upon footage of me without or with a beard.
Drawbacks: privateness considerations
Naturally, not anything this just right comes without cost. It is essential to state outright that your footage will stay non-public until you submit them publicly.
However, because the catch-all phrases of provider state: "When you add, post, retailer, ship or obtain content material to or via our Services, you give Google (and the ones we paintings with) a world license to make use of, host, retailer, reproduce, adjust, create spinoff works (reminiscent of the ones on account of translations, variations or different adjustments we make in order that your content material works higher with our Services), be in contact, put up, publicly carry out, publicly show and distribute such content material.
"The rights you grant on this license are for the restricted objective of working, selling, and making improvements to our Services, and to expand new ones."
You may also have to just accept some compression of pictures for those who go for Google Photos, one thing the provider is prematurely about while you get started importing your library.
This compression, possibly, is the place Google extracts information from the photographs, because the phrases of provider once more state: "Our automated systems analyse your content (including emails) to provide you personally relevant product features, such as customised search results, tailored advertising, and spam and malware detection. This analysis occurs as the content is sent, received, and when it is stored."

It is value noting that Google doesn't have a spotless monitor document in terms of privateness, with former CEO Eric Schmidt famously declaring: "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place."
Other drawbacks
Furthermore, simply as with Apple iCloud, your photographs may well be hacked. So in case you are a celeb with some footage that you'd slightly now not be made public, stay them out of the cloud.
Another fear is that Google may just ditch the provider at any time. It's now not unusual for me to get connected to a super internet provider or app just for it to be killed off in a single day.
Lovers of Paper, or e mail products and services like Mailbox will know the ache of a much-loved provider being killed off. If this had been to occur the destiny of your footage can be up within the air and really a lot in Google's arms.
The factor is, that is Google, and the corporate more than likely isn't going any place quickly. The keeping corporate Alphabet brings in annual income of just about $4 billion and products and services like those are simple for them to handle with their infrastructure and want to hoard your information.
It's a pleasing to have for them and that's not likely to switch. Just you'll want to make common backups to a bodily disk to verify for the worst, however I'm positive you had been doing that anyway…proper?

Will Muschamp outlined the upcoming matchup against Georgia as their toughest test of the year, but will not treat this week any differently.
The Gamecocks haven't won in Athens since 2011, and South Carolina goes "between the hedges" against a Bulldogs squad ranked #2 in the nation and are beating their opponents by an average of 26 points per game, the fifth-highest margin in the nation.
Georgia's rushing attack ranks 10th in the nation at 284 yards per contest, and Muschamp knows it's the foundation of their success this season.
Muschamp on Georgia
Muschamp recognizes that the offense, while predictable in scheme and nature, is still apt to getting explosive plays. The key he believes is to create on the edge, and make sure guys hold their lanes.
Muschamp on Georgia Offense
Much of the conversation leading up to this week centers around the hype of playing a team with a high-ranking like Georgia's along with the exposure of playing on CBS.
The signature television package hasn't been kind to the Gamecocks, holding a 5-15 record in regular season matchups televised by CBS. The last win on CBS came against the Bulldogs, but at Williams-Brice Stadium in 2014.
Muschamp said he doesn't need to add any hype to this game, nor does he need to remind his players of the importance of this game.
Muschamp on hype
The Gamecocks are coming off a 34-27 victory over Vanderbilt, and despite being outgained overall, showed a consistent offensive output. The running game provided its best effort of the year, gaining 212 yards, including a career-high 121-yard game from running back AJ Turner.
Muschamp believes while they've honed in on a comfort zone, they need to be ready to adapt to what Georgia brings to the table. He also says despite the connection to Georgia as an undergrad, you start to change your loyalty to "the school that signs your checks."
Muschamp on USC offense and Georgia connections
Injury-wise, the Gamecocks come into the week fairly healthy, as Cory Helms and Dennis Daley are expected back from the ailments they suffered in the Vanderbilt game. Muschamp said Malik Young is the "furthest away" health-wise, and will be re-evaluated later in the week.
LB Sherrod Greene is expected back on defense, and WR Chad Terrell ran Tuesday morning which should bolster their depth.
The Gamecocks and Bulldogs play at 3:30 Saturday afternoon on CBS.

'No complaining': Pope Francis takes on moaners
Pope Francis carries the weight of the world's poor and suffering on his shoulders: the last thing he needs is people turning up at his apartment for a whinge. Vietato lamentarsi (no complaining) reads a sign in Italian hung on the door to Pope Francis's private rooms in the Vatican that was given to him by a psychologist, according to a religious expert close to the pontiff. Psychologist Salvo Noe, author of motivational guides, gave it to Francis at the end of an audience on Saint Peter's Square last month, journalist Andrea Tornielli said on the "Vatican Insider" website.

Jared Padalecki has been around for a couple years now, finally breaking through and scoring his first leading role in FRIDAY THE 13TH. Some may know him from his starring roles in GILMORE GIRLS and the popular genre show SUPERNATURAL. He's also got a couple genre movie credits to his name in HOUSE OF WAX, so as you can see he's definitely a fan of the genre. JoBlo.com caught up with the young actor while on the set of FRIDAY THE 13TH.
JoBlo.com: They tell us that as much of the violence is in this movie there's also sex. Do we get to see you topless?
Jared Padalecki: (laughs) Not yet! If there are reshoots who knows they might try and yank off my shirt.
JoBlo.com: And it's only fair to ask.
Jared Padalecki: It's absolutely fair to ask. That was also something that I brought up with the writers and producers and the director because I'm wearing like a form fitting shirt and I was like 'Listen guys... I'm already on the CW, which is kind of like the pretty boy network. The last thing I want to do is do this movie with a lot of fans and just be like 'Hey, here's me taking my shirt off.' And like be kind of douchebaggy. I was like honestly, I wanted Clay to just be a normal guy. I didn't want him to be like 'Hey, here I am. I'm a sex symbol. Watch me fight Jason. I'm cool. I'm a ninja. Blah blah.' I just wanted to be a guy trying to find his sister. Not about how he looked, whether he worked out or whatever. So I steered clear of the topless scenes.

The UCF football program's toughest opponent this year won't be Ohio State or Missouri.
The Knights' highest stakes game and biggest mismatch is against the NCAA Committee on Infractions.
The committee announced the results of an extensive investigation into major recruiting infractions committed by members of the UCF football, men's basketball and athletics department staff. The NCAA determined UCF suffered from a "lack of institutional control" during former athletics director Keith Tribble's tenure, hammering the program with a long list of tough sanctions.

When I first thought about doing a long series, such as Super Moms, I never imagined I would get much interest. I thought no one would want to be interviewed by me, about their motherhood career. ( Remember, it's not easy) Little did I know that a little over 6 months in, I would be overwhelmed by the response. Today's Super Mom is Jennifer. She is here to talk about the importance of one's mental health. Without further ado, I give you Super Mom & Motherhood
Let's introduce you. Who are you and what do you do for a living?
Hey! I'm Jennifer. This week, I am a Law Librarian working on a side hustle coaching moms through crises and transitions. Next week, my full-time job is as a self-employed life coach for moms!
How many babies do you have?
I have a 7-year-old daughter named Star. After two miscarriages, we got pregnant with our daughter. We had planned a home birth, but my water broke too early for a safe home birth. My husband and I walked to the hospital (only a block away!), and I had to have an emergency c-section because my water had already broken and the baby was by then facing the wrong way. She was born a preemie and stayed in the hospital for 9 days. That was an eventful time, but since then, things have been pretty smooth sailing. She is an amazing kid and I'm proud to be her mom.
Have you always wanted to be a mom?
Yes, definitely. In my mind, I wanted 2 or 3 kids, but by the time we had our daughter, I was 3 days away from being 39, and we decided that it didn't make sense for our family to try again. Now, we are quite happy with the one child that we have and we couldn't see it any other way.
Ok, now tell me, what is your biggest struggle when it comes to motherhood?
I don't want to give the best of myself to my work and then have no capacity leftover at the end of the day for quality time with my daughter and husband.
I know some moms have a daily routine to help keep them on top. What is your typical day?
Every day is different! I always try to walk my daughter to the bus in the morning and pick her up from her after-school program in the late afternoon. I generally get dinner ready at some point (except on Thursdays when it is my husband's job to make dinner!) Other than those constants, I try to make time for exercise (I teach one spin class each week and on the other days, I generally do a combination of pilates, walking and slow jogging) and then do a lot of work. Right now, I'm working on building up my practice and letting people know about the work that I do. I also volunteer on the Crisis Text Line for about 4 hours each week. There, I help people dealing with any kind of crisis from suicide to relationship issues to depression and anxiety. There is so much sadness in the world, but I'm so grateful that I'm part of this organization that is trying to make things better one texter at a time.
A crisis text support line? Can you share what made you get involved with that? It sounds amazing!
Volunteering has always been a super important part of my life. When I had my daughter, my volunteering stopped for a few years. Then, there was a time when I kept witnessing people in some sort of crisis situation and I really found my passion helping people in those moments. I knew I could help others while still adjusting to motherhood. Around that same time, I saw a TED talk by the founder of the Crisis Text Line, and I knew that I wanted to apply to be a volunteer with them so that I could continue to help people in crisis. You can sign up to be a volunteer today at https://www.crisistextline.org/!
How do you decompress after a long day? What is your ME time?
Crafting! When our daughter is in bed, if I don't have anything begging for my attention on my laptop, then I'll head over to my sewing table. It might only be 5 minutes in a night, but I love that time. It's my time to look at colors and feel fabrics and use my brain in a different way. And, I end up with some pretty cool stuff! I sew clothes for myself, for our daughter and I make quilts. I have a bunch of other crafts that I've done over the years, but those all seem to be on the back burner right now. Self-care is really important to me and I try to sprinkle bits of it throughout the day. Sewing is generally my evening relaxation activity, but during the day, I try to make time for exercise and a quick meditation.
Ahh, a lady after my own heart! I also love to craft. Let's get a little more serious. When plans go awry and not the way you had planned, how do you react? Motherhood has a way of showing us who is the boss.
I'm super adaptable. Things change and we have to change along with it. I come from an entrepreneurial family and my parents modeled for me the necessity of being adaptable.
Do you have a favorite quote?
Each minute lasts the same amount of time.
If you could trade places for the day (alive or not) who would it be and why?
I would love to understand my family's history better by stepping into the shoes of my great grandmother (my mom's mom's mom) and see what life looked like in Eastern Europe for them and why they decided to leave and what the process of leaving looked like.
What is the very best advice you have ever been on the receiving end of?
I recently finished the book called Loving What Is, by Byron Katie, and her words are resonating strongly in my head. Here's my summary of one of her premises; you can't argue with reality, and if you try, you will lose 100% of the time.
And because I can not ask for the best without the worst, what is the worst advice you have ever been given?
When I first had my daughter, I went grocery shopping. I was carrying my daughter and pushing a shopping cart. A stranger stopped me in the store and asked if I was breastfeeding. I, looking for companionship and feeling quite vulnerable, honestly answered that we were working on breastfeeding but it was hard. She gave my big postpartum boobs a long stare and said, "Well, it doesn't look like production is the problem."
OMG! How rude! As of today, what is your greatest accomplishment? And family is way too easy.
Other than family, I would say that my greatest accomplishment is being willing to try new things and possibly fail.
If you were to win the lottery, what is the one frivolous item that you would have no shame in buying that is not motherhood related?
Do you have any words of wisdom for my friends?
You are the expert on yourself. Don't let anyone else tell you what your truth should be.
Is there anything else you would like other bad ass super moms to know about their position in motherhood?
You are amazing. You are the right match for your children. Take care of yourself. You are worth it.
I have had so much fun getting to know Jennifer through email. She is a kindred soul and I think we would be friends if she lived near me. The fact that she volunteers her time to help other's in times of need is what makes her a Super mom.
Want More?

One thing the Vikings do well is stop the run. The Vikings surrendered just 83.6 yards per game on the ground in 2017, which ranked second in the NFL, and that number is a big reason why the Eagles might have to rely on Foles this week. If Jay Ajayi and LeGarrette Blount can't find room to run, it's going to be up to Foles to keep the Eagles offense moving.
In the early game on Saturday, the No. 1 seed Philadelphia Eagles will play host to the No. 6 seed Atlanta Falcons in an NFC matchup. Atlanta, the owner of last year's No. 1 offense, defeated this year's No. 1 offense (Rams), and now must travel north to Philadelphia and take on the Carson Wentz-less Eagles. Philly stumbled a bit down the stretch of the season but still has a strong defense and running game, and home-field advantage.
On Saturday night, the No. 1 seed New England Patriots will host the No. 5 seed Tennessee Titans in an AFC matchup. The Pats are heavy favorites, but the Titans are coming off a monster comeback victory over the Chiefs in their first round matchup. Tennessee's strength is running the ball, which is New England's exact weakness on defense. The Titans will have to figure out a way to stop Tom Brady, though, if they want to come away with a win.
In the first of Sunday's two rematches, the No. 2 seed Pittsburgh Steelers will host the No. 3 seed Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jags beat up on the Steelers in Pittsburgh earlier this season, forcing Ben Roethlisberger into five interceptions in a 30-9 win.
I don't know if anything has really changed except the panic of being left out and not getting the money, said Rob Rang, a veteran talent evaluator for NFLDraftScout.com. In today's world of social media and expectations, young players are more easily convinced to try to take advantage of their perceived draft value.
The NFL began accepting prospects three years out of high school 29 years ago. That league tenet has survived periodic legal challenges for three decades. All of it has created a micro-population of elite athletes with something less than a full grasp of the process.

text: Ok before I start, this is NOT about a task killer. Yes the app itself has a task killer built in, but I'm not going to debate this. If you want to troll about task killers being useless, troll elsewhere. What I noticed was interesting about this app is it has a memory management part where ROOT is required. You can control the memory limits for a: hidden app, content provider, empty app, as well as the foreground app and visible app I believe. I know that even apps like LauncherPro try to manipulate or play with the memory limits of Android as there are strict limits for 1 app. Has anyone played around with the memory limits presets for Autokill?

I had a conversation with a relative about the Seminole Casino Hollywood, Florida. She told me that an acquaintance had recently won a large sum of money in a drawing. I was happy for the acquaintance, but my general response was that I no longer had an interest in that place.
The Seminole Casino Hollywood, Florida has been around for several years. It was opened by the Seminole Indian tribe as a place for the elderly to go and play bingo, but later evolved into a full-fledged casino with card games and video slot machines. I grew up in Broward County, Florida, and I have vague recollections of my parents driving past the Native-American huts and what is now know as the casino on State Road 7. There are now several Seminole casinos in Florida. It was not until about 1998 that I was briefly introduced to the Seminole casino.
One night in 1998 a friend/ co-worker was bored and he suggested that we check out the Seminole Casino Hollywood. Neither one of us had ever been there before and I agreed to accompany him there after work. We met at the casino at about 3 a.m. Well, as soon as I walked into the facility, I wanted to leave almost immediately.
Something within me told me that this was not a good place to be. It was poorly lit, gloomy, smoky, and the people were weird: I noticed an African-American woman gambling at a slot machine and smoking a cigarette. She was wearing a nightgown, nightcap, and bedroom slippers. Then, all of a sudden there was a loud bell ringing. The woman in the nightgown jumped up from the slot machine. She and several other chronic gamblers followed the direction of the ringing. My friend and I later found out that the ringing meant that someone won a sizable jackpot. The gamblers were eager to know who this lucky soul was. I didn't understand how to play the machines, so I sat and watched my friend gamble. My friend and I left after about 30 minutes. I was not impressed and didn't return until about 10 years later.
One day in early 2008, a friend came to me and confided that she had won about $20,000 at the Seminole Hollywood Casino. She won the money with a $1,000 free play. She encouraged me to go ahead and sign up for the Seminole Casino Players' Club card. There was a promotion running at the time, which entitled new Players' Club members to get a $25.00 free play for slot play. Well, my friend convinced me to go to the casino with her one day and I signed up, reluctantly. She showed me how to play the slot machines. I chose the "Cleopatra" machine, and got lucky. I ended up winning about $170.00 off of the free play, without spending any of my cash. From then on I was hooked.
I kept getting these "incentives" in the mail for free play or free merchandise. So, I would always take advantage of it. There are other little tricks to get you in the door, like free bingo and free drawing ballots for big ticket items like new Mercedes-Benz SUVs, or free live concerts featuring unknown local performers or has-beens like, Vanilla-Ice. What I didn't want to admit to myself was that I wasn't getting anything for free. The casinos make it very convenient for you to blow your money, they are magnanimous enough to provide ATMs that charge an arm-and-a-leg; check cashing services on site; and even cash advances. Whoopee!!! I personally never took my gambling habit to this level, though.
Things came to the point where I was visiting the casino 2-3 times per week. I was never one of those people that would spend money that was intended for bills. I used go in there with about $20- $40 a trip, but when you add it up over a year, you soon realize that it's an expensive habit/hobby. I would often catch a glimpse of some poor soul exiting the casino crying, because he or she lost the mortgage payment or car payment. I recall that there, was one lady lamenting that she couldn't go home to her husband because she had lost their savings in the casino.
The Way You Get Suckered into the Casino Gambling Experience
The casinos are very clever. They put an ad on television telling you that you will get a free play or that they will "reimburse" losses of brand new members (up to a specified amount). You sign up for a Players' Club Card and receive a free play. You are told that you can earn points for gambling at the casino. At the Seminole Hollywood Casino, 1 point earned= $2.00 spent, but 400 points can be redeemed for $1.00 of stuff. Points can be redeemed for food, gas, and other so-called perks.
In the earlier stages, You might be on a winning streak, because the casino wants you to keep coming back. After months or years of gambling, you become very enthralled by the excitement of playing the slot machines. You get that happy and nervous feeling when there is a bonus round on a video slot machine. The machine lights up and there is cute music to keep you pumped up and feeding those slot machines with money. There are scantily clad cocktail waitresses walking around with platters and offering beverages on the house. When you think that the machine is "on", you sit there like a fool, and increase your bet.
You probably build the bank all the way up to a few hundred dollars, but you keep playing. Instead of cashing out, you want to try getting a jackpot, so you start to max bet. You keep playing and the balance on the slot machine is getting lower, instead of higher. You know that you should press the big, bright "cash out" button, but you can't bring yourself to do it, because you might miss out on a jackpot. Heck, you might be trying to win the money back that you have lost. Damed it! Now you're down to $.99, so you have to decrease your bet to one line per daub. You end up walking out of the casino penniless and feeling totally disgusted and ashamed of yourself.
This is a very depressing illustration, but it is the typical experience of chronic, compulsive gamblers. I am very glad to say that I no longer go to any casino. It's like I woke up one day and lost the craving for it. I realized that I was wasting precious time that could be spent doing better things (like Hubbing), as well as losing money. I took me about 2 years to wake up, but thank the Lord I did. I have been "sober" for about 6 months now.
I once watched an interview with Steve Wynn on the Travel Channel. Steve Wynn is a billionaire who made his fortune in the real estate and casino gambling industries. During the interview, Wynn admitted that he didn't gamble. His father had been a compulsive gambler, who died leaving the family broke and in debt. Steve Wynn went on to say that he does not know any gambler that comes out ahead over the long haul, because they can't walk away. This is coming from a man who got rich from casinos. It doesn't get any more plain than that. Any short term pleasure that you derive from going to the casino is not worth the pain you will feel over the long term. The odds are stacked against players, and casinos are in the business of making a profit. So take this as a public service announcement: Stay away from casinos.
I have be a couple of times at the Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood F, and can'T find there The glamour and excitement that I experience in Atlantic City. In there, also drinks are free when you play blackjack, and get complementary steak dinner. At the Hard Rock with all tax break the Seminole get, they should be more generous with customers. I suppose, at the Hard Rock there is no competition, so that is the only casino at a short distance. In Atlantic City casinos compete each other to get the gamblers.
Forget about Seminole casino, you are not my type.

Hi I'm Tami
I'm a Mormon.
About Me
My husband and I are currently living and traveling full time in our 5th wheel trailer. We sold our home in Arizona almost five years ago and since then we have traveled across the United States working at various seasonal work. We stay in one place from as little as a few days to up to four months or more. We are avid ballroom dancers and look for dancing wherever we go. We often have the opportunity to teach dancing and we get a great deal of pleasure from that. We also enjoy taking cruises and have been on nine so far. There is usually good dancing on board ships and we like seeing new things and meeting new people.
Why I am a Mormon
I was born and raised a Mormon, but I still went through the conversion process as a young adult. I came to realize the importance of living the teachings of the Savior and how much better my life is when I am doing the things I know are right. There is nothing like reading the Book of Mormon to help you draw closer to our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. And how blessed we are in these times to have a living prophet to guide and direct us.
How I live my faith
Since we travel so much, I make it a priority to try and stay in one place on Sunday so that I can attend my meetings. Thanks to lds.org, it is easy to find churches in the area I am visiting. I also try and make sure that I am living the standards of the church at all times and set a good example. We have the opportunity of meeting many different people as we move about and I am aware that I may be the only Mormon they have ever met.

Just in time for Christmas, we have some new additions to Planscope that we think you're going to love.
The first cut of a brand new dashboard
One of our goals is to be more than just a project management tool. We want to be an expectation management and prediction tool. This means that our goal is to provide you with insights (how profitable are you? when will this project wrap up? will it reallyyyy be wrapped up by that date? which projects are underperforming? …) that help you see the health of your company, and not just how many tasks and projects you have going on. We've already rolled some of that out into the "Reports" area, and we're now bringing it to your dashboard.
The first addition to the new dashboard is the project cards view (which is also the default view). From here, you can get a birds of view of what's happening in your company which will help you answer…
- What's the total budget for all the projects and estimates in our queue?
- How many updates have we made this week?
- How much time have we logged this week?
- What's the overall progress and budget usage for each project we're working on?
- Who's assigned to each project?
- How many estimated hours left are there?
- By what date does Planscope's prediction engine think this project will be completed by?
- What milestone are we working on, and how complete is it?
- How many tasks are in review, and how long has the oldest task been sitting in review?
- When was the last time someone worked on this project?
We're also working on a brand new timeline view (which will help you schedule when you can take on new work), a redesigned activity and workload view, and a team view, which will let you report on your teams activity (across all projects) — we hope to have these new dashboard views out in just a few weeks.
We've recoded how we handle dragging and dropping
The original code we were using for handling dragging and dropping was pretty flaky. If you've been using Planscope long enough, you've undoubtedly struggled with dragging tasks onto those little dotted lines. So we scrapped what we had, and wrote a new implementation from scratch. It's a lot faster, more reliable, and doesn't require as much precision with your mouse or trackpad.
Select multiple tasks at once (and move them or send them to review)
Historically, it's been sort of a pain to manage the prioritization order of projects. You either had to drag each task individually, or hope that you have a bunch of tasks of the same task group next to each other so you could drag them all around together.
You can now select multiple tasks at once by clicking on the tasks you'd like. If you click on a task group bucket, all tasks within it will be selected / unselected, and if you click on a milestone all tasks for that milestone will be selected / unselected.
Once you have multiple tasks selected, you can drag them to a new location, and they'll all move together. Additionally, this is the new workflow for delivering updates to your client. When you have some tasks that are ready to be reviewed, select them and click the "Send To Review" button in the navigation bar.
Over the next few weeks, we'll be adding the ability to mass assign, mass change task group, mass approve, and mass delete selected tasks.
What's next on our roadmap?
The five of us are hard at work at bringing the following features to you:
- Invoice support. Right now, we only send over time data to 3rd party products (like Harvest or Freshbooks), but we're working on adding in direct invoice export capabilities to these integration partners, which will also allow us to support products that don't have the concept of "time logs", like Xero and QuickBooks. We'll also be able to export the exact billing style you use — so if you bill by the week, you won't need to wrestle Harvest into converting your timesheets into weekly line items any longer.
- A Client -> Project hierarchy. If you work on a lot of projects for the same client, you'll soon be able to associate these projects with a client record. This will make setting up new projects much easier (you won't need to reinvite everyone to the project) and will allow us to give you a lot more interesting stats, like "which clients of ours are the most profitable?" or "who is overly meticulous about our work and is always rejecting our delivered work?"
- Spinoff Estimates. Now this is something we're really excited about. Let's say you're working on a project, and your client comes to you with a bunch of things they're thinking about adding. You'll be able to spin off an estimate from within an existing project, and work on it with your client outside of the active project. Once it's approved, you can merge it directly into your existing project. (We'll also make it easy to see the implications of merging in some new scope to a project – "how will accepting this estimate add to the required budget or time estimate for this project?")
- First-class Template Support. Right now, you can define templates by creating a project, creating some tasks, and then exporting them to a CSV. To include these tasks on another project, you simply import the CSV. Outside of streamlining this process, there's another reason we want to support first-class templates: we'll be able to globally track certain statistics for common tasks. This means we'll be able to tell you how profitable a particular type of thing you do is, how long it will probably take to do it again (much easier after we've tracked you doing it a few times), and more.
As I stated above, our goal is to go beyond just project management and collaboration. We want to help you run a better company, which means giving you insights into things that aren't always known and that can be better known with good data. We think today's update, and what we have in the pipeline, is moving us closer to that goal.
-Brennan Dunn, Founder

In the last few weeks I've picked up a few things here and there at the thrift.
Some to keep (of course)!
And a few things for the booth.
One item that is already at Relics is this afghan..........
It. Is. HUGE!
Both of these will make it to the booth eventually........
You know I can't resist suitcases (and they sell quickly).
Some fun glassware.......
A rug........
Here's the problem: I don't collect this pattern.
But it's turquoise.
So now maybe I should collect this pattern.
Or change my Pyrex rule to: Keep all turquoise Pyrex no matter what the pattern is.
That sounds fair.

A special moment
I have so much to write about..our trip, meeting Zeri, seeing our YWAM family, and reuniting with Olivia. However, I just don't have the time to write about it right now. Hopefully I will find time soon!
Please pray for our next step in our adoption journey. We just had a bunch of documents signed, notarized, and sent off over the weekend. We are praying that we bring Zeri home in 6 weeks and not 2-4 months. We want our little boy home with us!
I can't end a post without a picture of our little Z! He is definitely a Cox and I can't wait to tell you more about meeting him! When we were in Ethiopia I kissed all over that sweet little face! :) I couldn't stop kissing his face-seriously! We had waited so long to kiss him and I just couldn't stop!
Zeri was pretty scared of us. Every day he ended up warming up to us (after an hour of crying!), but then he was scared of us again the next day. The last day I was holding him and he was crying (like a "Why is this lady holding me!? I'm terrified of her!" cry). I started telling him how much we love him. I told Zeri over and over that we love him more than he'll ever know and that we have been praying for him for over 2 years. I told him that I know it's scary and that I know he'll learn to love us. I told him that we won't stop loving him and that it doesn't matter how much he cries, we'll never give up on him. It was a moment that I will remember forever. My words didn't make him stop crying (and nothing did..except for his bottle) but I was so overwhelmed with love for my little boy. My little Z was just looking at me with tears streaming down his face and I had tears in my eyes as I was trying to comfort him. I was just smiling at him and quietly whispering these words of love to him. And as I held him so close to me and felt his curly locks against my face I realized that he is my boy. The one whom I have prayed for and fallen in love with over the past two years. It was the love that only a mommy can feel and it made me realize that I love this boy with my entire heart.
One quick Olivia story to close this post. Every time we give Olivia a kiss she wipes it off. Jeremiah and I thought she was trying to goof around and pretend like she didn't want our kisses. Tonight I asked Olivia why she wipes our kisses off and she responded, "Because I don't want anyone else to take them. I want to keep them for myself." Then I asked her where she keeps them and she said without hesitation, "In my heart." Bless her sweet little heart.

A Time To Die
Most Relevant Verses
As for man, his days are like grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourishes. When the wind has passed over it, it is no more, And its place acknowledges it no longer.
"My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, And come to an end without hope. "Remember that my life is but breath; My eye will not again see good. "The eye of him who sees me will behold me no longer; Your eyes will be on me, but I will not be.
"Man, who is born of woman, Is short-lived and full of turmoil. "Like a flower he comes forth and withers He also flees like a shadow and does not remain.
For they will wither quickly like the grass And fade like the green herb.
My days are like a lengthened shadow, And I wither away like grass.
"You will come to the grave in full vigor, Like the stacking of grain in its season.
When the time for Israel to die drew near, he called his son Joseph and said to him, "Please, if I have found favor in your sight, place now your hand under my thigh and deal with me in kindness and faithfulness. Please do not bury me in Egypt,
As David's time to die drew near, he charged Solomon his son, saying,
"But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your soul is required of you; and now who will own what you have prepared?'

CT/Vermont Elvira Adams
Preserved family letters received in MT from VT late 1800's suggested that Elvira, married to Whitman Dean, was related to the Flint family.Persons named as relatives were Amasa Flint,Henry Flint among others.Recent data in the research of the Dean family has Elvira born 1814 of father Silas Adams and Mary?On about the same year, I have Silas Adams of Randolph, VT married a Mary Polly Huntington as his second wife.
The 1850 Census shows Polly Adams living with the Whitman Dean family age 70 and this corresponds with the birth year of Mary Huntington who died 1852.The name Adams was not in any of our notes and so this was a surprise.We assumed that the last name of Elvira was Flint.
The possibility that I can come up with is that Mary, mother of Elvira died soon after or around her birth date and her stepmother who raised her and sister Susan was Mary Polly.Can anybody help confirm or otherwise help resolve this?Is it possible that the first Mary was a Flint and sister to Amasa Flint Junior?I can't find a listing of all the siblings of Amasa.I do find that Amasa Flint family lived next door to a brother of Whitman Dean in Bethel for most of his life.

'Miss Bala' Remake On The Way With Catherine Hardwicke Directing
It should come as absolutely no surprise an American remake of acclaimed Mexican drama Miss Bala is on the way. The original film was released six years ago, and introduced us to future Bond girl Stephanie Sigman (Spectre) and director Gerardo Naranjo (Narcos, Fear the Walking Dead). While it did well internationally, domestically there wasn't a lot of attention paid to it, and so we're getting that remake.
Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight, Miss You Already) will direct Miss Bala from a script by Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer. The film centers on an aspiring Mexican beauty pageant contestant who is roped into the criminal underworld after witnessing a murder. It's a tough story based on actual events, and it doesn't go anywhere you might expect. The remake will follow a woman named Gloria Meyer, which sounds like they'll be casting an American lead, who gets caught in a deadly game between the CIA and DEA after her friend goes missing in Tijuana.
It's a great story regardless of where the film originates, but giving it too much of a Hollywood polish could be a problem. [THR]

I have an online radio station driven by AI that I am trying to expand upon:
<url snipped>
The AI in place works fine (on the most part - one or two bugs to still iron out) but will not be good enough for when I take the site to the next stage.
To make a long story short, I need to find an easy (non-CPU-expensive) way of taking let's say 100 or 100 000 tracks and scrambling their order in the same way a CD player would, without dropping a single track or making a repeat of the same track anywhere along the way.
I know there are a lot of great random generator strategies to deploy, but I have yet to find a solid solution (ideally built in c#.net) that would help me solve this particular problem. I have made an interim solution for myself but once again I would like to improve upon it. Any suggestions? Or does anyone have a good site that they can point me to?

Order of the Saturday was to get out early, find a route that gave some sort of a view amongst the unpredicted low cloud, and then head off into Brecon to make up the English contingent of the crowd in the pub watching the six nations rugby.
As it was, we headed up over Twyn-Dylluan-ddu to the roman road and started the climb up to Fan Frynych in the fog, map and compass firmly in hand! For my second time, there was no view to marvel at, but this didn't really matter, everyone seemed to be enjoying the snow on the ground. From the peak, we followed the wall along Craig Cerrig-gleisiad in search of a path heading south, but this had been lost somewhere in the snow, and we then found ourselves descending at a steeper gradient than expected. Not lost, I might add, but temporarily misplaced, which is a big difference! We reached the bottom, and then decided to take an alternative route back to the hostel, which turned out trickier than expected. Sometimes it's just easier to ignore the markings on the Ordnance Survey map and just head straight for your destination (assuming the ground in front is safe enough, of course)! Not a day's walk, in the true sense of the word, but good enough for the WGL log book.

When I visit the Growers Market of Fuquay-Varina, I think of the story of the little engine that could. It's the little market that can. The town continues to show tremendous support for its downtown market, providing an attractive and convenient venue for local food fans to purchase seasonal produce and specialty food items twice weekly.
Regular produce vendors include Holland Farm, Barnes Farm, Pipa's Farm and RB Mason. Plus, shoppers will find a selection of canned goods and prepared foods (chicken salad and pimento cheese spread, for example) from JAM Catering. For bakery needs, the popular Stick Boy Bread shop is just a short walk down Main Street too.
Though a small market presently, the Growers Market of Fuquay-Varina has both the space and most importantly the support to expand, having just won a $30,000 grant award that will allow the market to hire a part time manager, increase their marketing and start accepting EBT payments.
Speaking of marketing, the UNC TV show Flavor NC, paid a visit to the Growers Market and cooked up a little something tasty while there. The episode airs tonight at 9 pm and again on Saturday at 10:30 am (so set those DVRs).
Market Info: 3:00 to 6:00 pm Wednesdays and 9:00 am to 2:00 pm Saturdays, April thru October.
Shoppers will find ample (free) parking in the adjacent municipal parking lot.
This market is convenient to residents of Fuquay-Varina.
Visit the market website and find them on Facebook to learn more about their vendors and to stay current on market events.

|Vidua interjecta
|Scientific classification
The indigobirds and whydahs, together with the Cuckoo-finch make up the family Viduidae; they are small passerine birds native to Africa.
These are finch-like species which usually have black or indigo predominating in their plumage. The birds named "whydahs"[1] have long or very long tails in the breeding male.
All are obligate brood parasites, which lay their eggs in the nests of estrildid finch species; most indigobirds use firefinches as hosts, whereas the paradise whydahs chose pytilias. Unlike the cuckoos and honeyguides, the indigobirds and whydahs do not destroy the host's eggs. Typically, they lay 2–4 eggs in with those already present. The eggs of both the host and the victim are white, although the indigobird's are slightly larger. Many of the indigo-plumaged species named "indigobirds" are very similar in appearance, with the males difficult to separate in the field, and the young and females near impossible. The best guide is often the estrildid finch with which they are associating, since each indigobird parasitises a different host species. For example, the village indigobird is usually found with red-billed firefinches. Indigobirds and whydahs imitate their host's song, which the males learn in the nest. Although females do not sing, they also learn to recognise the song, and choose males with the same song, thus perpetuating the link between each species of indigobird and firefinch. The nestling indigobirds mimic the unique gape pattern of the fledglings of the host species.
The matching with the host is the driving force behind speciation in this family, but the close genetic and morphological similarities among species suggest that they are of recent origin.
The family contains two genera:[2]
- Vidua - 19 species with indigobird or whydah in the English name
- Anomalospiza - monotypic, the cuckoo-finch or parasitic weaver, Anomalospiza imberbis
- ^ The yellow-mantled widowbird was the type species of its genus, and was originally named from the city of Ouidah in Benin. Nowadays the name whydah (i.e. Ouidah) is however applied to the long-tailed species of the Viduidae.

There are days when I feel an urgent need to write. I don't feel that I can wait until the usual 9pm, when the children are asleep and everything else that one household needs has been done, washed, eaten, tidied away or thrown out (not necessarily in that order). I feel an emotion rising up that needs urgent expression or I might implode, right here in the kitchen, while trying to heat up a jar of baby food (oops – I meant to say while pureeing the organic baby food I have personally prepared from scratch!)
I am a mother, and a writer. I am very lucky in that I don't have to be a mother, a writer and an office manager / recruitment consultant / doctor / teacher / cleaner. There are many women out there who have to juggle everything I have to juggle, with a full time job on top (I'm referring to the full time job of the paid variety – not the unpaid service us full time mothers are usually providing in the home). So I have nothing to resent and nothing to complain about. And yet, those days - they make me feel on edge, like I will miss out on something irreplaceable if I don't find a way to let my children entertain themselves for just half an hour while mummy writes. It's got to be half an hour sandwiched between putting the laundry in, putting out snacks or meals, helping Ana to colour in her Peppa Pig book or changing Sacha's nappy. It can be frustrating, it can be hard, sometimes I have to just pencil a certain sentence on a random piece of paper in the hope that this sentence will later on jog my memory and re-ignite this sense of overwhelming inspiration.
This is something that I am sure isn't unique to me, but happens to all writers (not even necessarily just women) who have children or other day time occupations. So what do these other writers do? What is the solution to this? Us mothers are used to putting off even urgent needs of our own, like sleep, or somehow combining it with the needs of our children (my need to go to the toilet combined with my children's need to be by my side at almost all times have often led to the three of us being in the toilet together, sometimes with them actually on my lap). But writing is different. Writing takes time. I am a fast typist but even I can't dish out a play in between putting Ana on the potty and stopping Sacha from chewing the TV cables.
I often find that by the time the evening comes, I have lost my wind. Or worse still, once the children have mercifully gone to bed at last, my brain requires – no, demands – a transition period, a time to switch from mothering to creativity, and this usually takes the shape of some fairly mindless, frivolous entertainment –Mumsnet, Facebook, a chapter of a book I'm reading, an hour's programme on the TV. It may be 9.30 or even 10pm by the time my brain has managed to leave the day behind and is now ready to immerse itself in work of a different kind – the words, the images and emotions which both result from and give birth to writing. But by that time, there is not a great deal of time left for it. I'd like to stay up and write all night, but who will look after Ana & Sacha in the morning, if I'm too zombified to do it? And so sometimes I don't even start – I stay in the transition stage, in the easy entertainment phase, often going to bed with a mind that is just then properly waking up, full of frustration and regrets that another 24 hours have to pass before I have that space and that time again.
It is in moments like those that I make most of my resolutions – that I will start to write early in the morning, or that I will close my Facebook account (but then I'd just log into my husband's, I'm sure!), that I will disconnect the WiFi, that I will hack into Mumsnet and wipe their website clean, that I will burn the TV, that I will use all my books as scrap paper for Ana and Sacha.
There is no easy solution. I have to remember to be disciplined in those hours which are my own, and to be mindful of the present moment, to never waste it, as once it's gone it is gone forever. Being there for my children and being there for myself as a writer is a never-ending quest for balance, for fairness (children come first, but I cannot completely neglect my own needs either), for magic (to somehow do it all). Like all quests, it will take a life-time to complete and we will only learn if the story had a happy ending once we come to the end of it.

The Closet
The closet Jesus mentioned in Matthew 6 has fascinated me for many years. It is a word used only four times in the New Testament. There are two basic pictures presented by this word. One is a room in a private dwelling where one can go to be alone and meditate. Sometimes the householder would store his valuables in that secret place. The other usage refers to a storage room. In both cases the issue is privacy, treasure and security.
In Matthew 6 it is a place where one meets with the Father who IS in secret and who SEES in secret. And Father has promised to be present there when we come. Recently I realized that when anyone goes into this secret place to meet with Father, he or she is there with the community of God's people. We may not be aware of their presence, and they may not be aware of their presence there, but since they are also "in Christ" they are also with our Father in his secret place. So my secret place and your secret place is actually the same place.
I suddenly saw that t this is the place of the unity of the Spirit Paul spoke of in Ephesians 4. It is actually the only place we can experience Father's presence and the unity of the Spirit. It is the place where Jesus dwells in the Father and the Father dwells in him. It is the place where we abide in him and he abides in us. It is the place of the ultimate reconciliation of all things Paul speaks of in Colossians 1:20.
It is also the place through which the anointing of the Holy Spirit flows through us into the community. When the speaker or singer in actually in the Spirit (in the secret place) the gathered community will respond to the call of the Spirit and receive the message. Receiving the message and understanding the teaching are two different things. If you only understand, you only receive the academic side of the truth. If you receive the message by the Spirit, your life will change to reflect the truth. What we really desire is a changed life, not just more understanding.
What a privilege to be invited into that place to commune with him and to make our requests known and to listen for his response. The problem is that our culture does not train us to go there. Most of us don't even know where that place is or how to get there. Some don't even know it exists. Our culture is totally focused on the external world of business and pleasure, of weather and sports, of politics and religion. Christianity in this culture is divided because few ever go to the secret place.
Those who know about the secret place often think it is only a place to go occasionally to pray or relax. One can certainly relax and pray in that place, but there is so much more to it. It is also the place from which we speak and act in response to what Father is saying to us while we are there. This is where we are seated with him in heavenly places, the place from which we reign with him in victory over principalities and powers. When we speak from this place we call it anointing or charisma.
Jesus lived his life in this secret place. It was the place where he saw what Father was doing and heard what Father wanted to say. He often went to a private area to be alone, and sometimes took his disciples with him. But his time in this secret place was not limited to these times apart from the crowd. Even in his busy activity with people he was in that place with his Father and was able to receive from him in behalf of others. Our goal is to learn to live consciously in the secret place, not just occasionally visit. We are in Christ at all times. We only need to become more aware of our presence with him as we go about our day. Our lie will change radically if we spend more time there.

The Spiritual Marketplace
Several people very close to me have said, "You sell yourself short. You make too many things available for free." I've heard that many times through the years, and I heard it again last month.
My response is on several levels. First, Jesus' said, "Freely you have received; freely give." He also said it's more blessed to gives than to receive. Jesus never asked for money, yet all his needs were met by those (mostly women) who followed his ministry. He actually believed what he taught about his Father who provides for sparrows being faithful to take care of men and women who are of much more value than sparrows. I also believe.
My second response is that my concern isn't how much I can receive from the spiritual marketplace, but how much value I can bring to the table. I really believe my Father will take care of my financial needs simply because he loves me. His care for us isn't tied to the value we bring to the marketplace. Yet, at the same time, I know he has given me much and I love sharing the insights he gives me without cost. For many years I have done short term mission work at my own expense.
My third response is that viewing life in this world in terms of the marketplace, judging everything by the "bottom line," is like using the Temple as a place to buy and sell. Buying and selling as such is not the problem, but measuring everything by the "bottom line" is defiling the Temple and using those who come to the Temple to increase your own "bottom line." This doesn't reflect the glory of the God who gave his Son.
I seldom asked for finances up till now. For several years I sold audio teachings when I ministered in various churches. It definitely helped financially, and people were blessed to have them to listen to slowly and take notes. But I felt the Lord calling me to make the audio teachings available for free on my website. I began posting the teachings for a free download, or to listen online. You can go there now and listen online or download to your MP3 player.
Our understanding of life changes as we grow. I have a new understanding of finances now. Like every other missionary, I need finances to do what I do. Jesus needed finances to do what he did, but income was never his focus. He even allowed a thief to handle the offerings to his ministry. I refuse to make money my focus. Last year Father reminded me of a text, "You have not because you ask not." So I began to ask for finances for travel expenses. The money for our trip to Africa came in within less than four weeks. Last summer all the finances for our trip to the Dominican Republic came in within about two weeks.
My focus in life is to the glorify our Father and to the honor those who value what he has given me to give to others. Now that our ministry is reaching out to many parts of the world, our financial need has increased while our availability to travel and minister in the States (where honorariums are available) has decreased. This puts us in a position where we simply must ask for finances to cover travel expenses as well as the cost of living.
The purpose of this blog is not to ask for finances, but to let you know why we will be requesting donations more often in the future than we have in the past. We request that you ask Father if he wants you to partner with us in the vision of touching the world with insights from his Word.

Testimonies from Korea
Our experience in Korea this year was awesome, as usual. This year our translator was gracious enough to translate several testimonies that came in after we left. Here are a few.
The first testimony is from our teaching and ministry on Generational Iniquities.
"As Fount and Lynda were teaching, I realized I was experience the pain of my grandmother who had abandoned her family. I confessed the iniquities of my ancestors (Lev. 28:40) and forgave my father and my uncle who had caused me pain. After the school, I talked with my cousin about the situation and realized I was really free from this bitterness. I now have joy because of what God has done and courage to continue receiving from him."
The second testimony is a result of our teaching on lies we believe because of a traumatic experience in childhood. These experiences often leave behind a belief (on the feeling level) that is contrary to the truth of who we are and what abilities we have.
"All my life I have believed I can't do anything, that I'm ugly and would be better off dead. Today I confessed my sin of believing the lies and living as though they were true. I forgave the offender and myself and renounced the lies I had believed. Father God spoke to me, 'You are free now; you have the victory and I am waiting for you with open arms.' I am really free now."
The third testimony came from our teaching on the emotional wounds we sustained in childhood abuse. We encourage people to connect with Jesus in the painful situation and allow him to bring healing.
"I had many wounds from my parents while growing up. I felt something very special when I forgave my parents. After ministry, I saw a picture of Jesus holding my hand saying, 'I was there with you, and I will help you overcome.' I told him I was not confident. He said, 'I will be with you to bring you into fullness.' I saw myself as a little girl in prison. When I forgave myself, the little girl was released."
This final testimony is related to our teaching on Word Curses. When important others speak negative words against us, we often begin to think we are worthless and abandoned.
My father used to tease me while I was young. I felt lonely, afraid and rejected, like no one cared about me. While Fount and Lynda were praying for us, I realized my parents did the best they could with what they had. After I released my parents, our Father gave me a word, "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine" (Isa. 43:1). Now I am free.
As usual, we encourage you to share this blog with others who might be encouraged through them. If they desire to be notified as new blogs are available, they can enter their email address above to the right.

Journey to Wholeness 1: Survivors and Victims
A survivor is one who has been through a difficult situation, a battle of one kind or another, but he or she is still standing when the dust settles. They came through the skirmish of victimization and were not taken out. But they did not win the battle either. In this valley many children learn survival skills. As children, they are no match for their victimizers in size or in fighting ability. They should be honored for their creativity and resiliency in surviving. Their survival skills can be very useful in adult life.
One problem is that our culture labels survivors as inferior or "troubled" people. But the truth is that they are often superior individuals who were creative enough to find a way to survive in very difficult situations. We dishonor them when we label them as abnormal. We fail to recognize their inner strength and stamina. In other words, the term "survivor" should be a medal of honor rather than a label.
Another problem is that these creative people often accept the label "survivor" as an identity statement, as a label. They receive this identity from the social workers (who themselves are often survivors) and from the caring profession in general. To BE a survivor is different from surviving. If you ARE a survivor, you cannot change; you just have to live with it. To survive is something one is able to do. Survival demonstrates strength of character and incredible fortitude. Behavior can change, but you can't change who you ARE.
AA is a good example of the identity issue. It is a very good program for people who wrestle with alcoholism, but there is, in my opinion, one weakness in what they do. To be a part of this program you are required to stand up and identify yourself, "My name is Joe, and I AM an alcoholic." If that is your identity, then you can never change. He can only continue to fight the battle which he can never win, and his self-esteem suffers in the process. If he could learn to think of himself as a wrestler, rather than an alcoholic, he would find another level of freedom in his life.
The same is true of survivors of victimization. As long as we think of ourselves as survivors, we continue to see ourselves as victims. Here again, to be victimized is not the same as BEING a victim. Victor Frankl was a Jewish psychiatrist held in Auschwitz at the end of the war. He did much more than survive; he learned much about human behavior and developed an ability to help others. He was victimized, but he was not a victim.
Jesus on the cross was victimized, but he was not a victim. "No one takes my life," he said, "I lay it down on my own accord, that I may take it up again. In many circles today, Jesus would be considered co-dependent and dysfunctional. Those who, like him, put up with abuse without fighting back are labeled in this way. But Jesus was not a victim; he was not merely a survivor either. He was an overcomer. He actually won the battle as no one in history has ever done.
This does not mean that we should mindlessly submit to abuse as adults. I would never insist that a woman continue to live in the house with a wife abuser. But I would recommend she find a way to overcome her own sense of being a victim. We all need to find our identity in something other than what happens to us.
As time permits, I will continue this discussion in several other blogs. In future posts, you will learn some of my personal history and how I learned to go beyond survival. For now, if you find value in these blogs, please recommend them to a friend. You may forward this blog to them and suggest that they sign up to receive new blogs as they are available.

Do We Have a Choice Where We Live?
Do we have a choice where we live?
Where did all the displaced Jews settle after the Holocaust?
Explain what persecution and prejudice are:
Persecution is to ill-treat someone just because of their race, religion, political beliefs, gender or sexual orientation.
Prejudice is a judgement made of a person before you actually know them. The judgement is usually one of negativity and based on stereotypes.
Relate this to why and how this resulted in Jews having to leave their homes:
Persecution and prejudice are related to why Jews had to leave their homes as it was actually persecution and prejudice which resulted in them having to leave their homes. When Hitler came to power, he promoted anti-Semitism, and made the stab-in-the-back legend part of the Nazi's official history of the 1920s. This caused persecution and prejudice against the Jews.
What was the Holocaust?
Explain what the Holocaust was and why we should learn from this event in history:
The Holocaust was the genocide of about 6 million European Jews during World War Two by the order of Adolf Hitler. We should learn from the Holocaust as to have this never have this happen again, for it was a horrific thing.
Explain why Jews prefer to refer to this event as The Shoah:
There are many definitions of holocaust English, but the main definition is: a sacrifice consumed by fire. So perverse this was that it was offensive to any Jew who had survived the Shoah. This is the reason why they prefer to call the Holocaust the Shoah, as it means a catastrophe, of which it was.
Who are God's chosen people?
Explain about God leading Abraham to Canaan and why Jews believe that they are God's 'chosen' people:
Abraham used to have the name of Abram and originally lived in Haran. He was told by God to leave Haran and after that would guide him to where he needed to be. God told him,"I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and I will make your name great. All people on Earth will be blessed through you." God often spoke to Abraham, giving him directions on what to do next, which Abraham always followed. Following these directions, Abraham managed to get to Canaan. Abraham had also taken his nephew Lot with him, as his father had died so he took him under his wing. Then, God told Abraham,"I will give this land to your children." When Abraham had arrived in Canaan, he realised that he was surrounded by war-like tribes, however Abraham stayed loyal and built an altar in the land of Canaan which enabled him to make offerings to God. Jews believe that they are God's chosen people because, according to the Jewish belief, they are chosen to make the idea of one God known to the world. This all began with Abraham.
Relate this belief as why Jews may have been historically persecuted by the Egyptians, Romans and Crusaders amongst others.
Jews may have been historically persecuted by the Egyptians, Romans and Crusaders because this idea of chosenness can be interpreted as a belief that Jews are superior to others, and the Egyptians, Romans and Crusaders may have taken it this way and immediately disliked the idea of it and persecuted the Jews.
Why were Africans taken to America and how were they treated?
Assume that you were a slave during this period of time; define what it means to be a slave. You also need to identify and explain the living and working conditions that you experienced:
A slave is a black African person that had been forcibly removed from their country to America to work in plantations who had been bought for slave labour. In a plantation, you are allocated an area there which is your living quarters. On some plantations the slave owners provide the slave with housing, and some require the slave to build their own. Those who had to build their own always built it the way they were in Africa. These living conditions were often cramped as there were often as many as 10...

She was the youngest in a blended family, a psychology grad who discovered she'd really rather write — or talk, the big heart with the sunny personality who picked up causes and friends with a full embrace.
Kim Pham, friends and family agreed, would be the last person in the world to end up the victim of street violence, according to the Los Angeles Times.
But in the predawn hours Saturday, the 23-year-old was so severely beaten in a fight outside a trendy Santa Ana nightclub that she was still unconscious when the police arrived. By Tuesday, she was dead after being taken off life support.
