Rise in number of older couples living together unmarried could lead them to miss out on tax and pension benefits
More than 300,000 unmarried over-65s are shacked up in England and Wales
A RISE in the number of older couples living together could lead to them missing tax and pension benefits, analysis suggests.
More than 300,000 unmarried over-65s are shacked up in England and Wales, up a third from 2002.
The number cohabiting who are now OAPs also trebled.
But Helen Morrissey of insurers Royal London said: "There are many tax breaks and state pension advantages which apply only to married couples."
She said the family of a cohabiting couple could face an extra £70,000 inheritance tax bill.
They are excluded from income tax breaks worth hundreds of pounds a year as well as the right to inherit a state pension when one dies.
She called for rules to be updated "to reflect the world in which we now live, not the 1940s".
Royal London said the system is still largely based around people who are either single and living alone or living as a married couple.
It said that, for example, married couples enjoy significant inheritance tax benefits over their cohabiting counterparts.
They can pass wealth to their surviving spouse free of inheritance tax and they can also transfer any unused portion of their inheritance tax threshold to their spouse - but neither of these options is available to cohabiting couples.
Married couples also have advantages when it comes to income tax, with some special tax allowances for married couples only.
Meanwhile, many current pensioners reached state pension age before the new state pension was introduced in 2016.
They will be covered by the old state pension system, under which there were certain rights to an improved state pension following the death of a spouse, which do not apply to cohabiting couples.
Under this system, an older married woman could see her state pension boosted by around £2,500 per year following the death of her husband, but a cohabiting partner would miss out, Royal London said.

Everybody, together with me, is feeling the chew of the recession and searching for methods to save cash. Only monitor weight every day if you'll be able to achieve this without turning into fixated and/or negatively impacted by this course of, and only if you are able to do this as a weight-tracking tool and reference solely. Provide the tackle of a useful neighbor that will be home in the course of the supply window and may settle for your bundle for you.
I've a good friend who is an AKC certified dog breeder who was also contacted by IAMS and offered a considerable quantity to promote their poor high quality pet food on her web site. In case your canine, like mine, tends to eat fast and keeps the chewing to a minimum, her prepared meals ought to have a mashed, but lumpy" consistency.
Eating the same thing on a regular basis additionally helps to manage how a lot money is spent on food and also how much meals is eaten and helps to get rid of meals waste. Oranges for instance are a terrific source of vitamin C, where bananas are an amazing supply of energy, hence not a zero calorie meals.
Many recipes could be adapted to turn into soft meals by placing the elements in a food processor.. Casserole recipes are often easily tailored. We have many single-person households as prospects who chose the 3-meal plan for 2 individuals, and gain eternal reputation with their associates or have superb leftovers for lunch!

Now I have to tell you about the German cat. In a recent column for Townhall.com I talked about the TV licensing tyranny in Great Britain. It seems that the British people must pay an annual "licensing fee" just for turning on their tallies. Been going on for years. There are vans that go around detecting signals from people who watch TV without paying the fee. The TV licensing people send periodic letters to non-payers and do their best to search the homes of non-payers who claim they don't watch TV. Even confirmed non-TV watchers can't get out from under this TV regime. It's an outlandish petty tyranny that I really wouldn't believe if there weren't so much documentation of it.
Readers tell me that all this is happening in Ireland, Italy, and Germany too. And who knows where else. Which doesn't surprise me, now that I have gotten over my surprise about the situation in the UK. But I already knew about Germany, because I had seen that story about the German cat. The cat got harassed about its lack of a TV license by the German TV-ocracy. The owner says, "My cat Maxi loves animal films, but I am not paying for him to watch telly." A representative of the German TV-ocracy says, "From time to time, cats or dogs get letters. It just happens and of course Maxi won't have to pay."
Sure. What do we expect, what with 13 million letters from the TV-ocracy going out to German households each year? You're off the hook, Maxi.
This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

Bar for the Boyfriend
Inspired by a few late nights at Beaker & Flask I got the boyfriend bar fixings for Christmas.
The drinks they make are so calculated. The ingredients list including traditional tinctures like Cynar, Nocino and Becherovka.
It has been really fun researching old time-y cocktails and making gin martini's after a long day at work.
Next up: Homemade bitters.
I struggled with where to set up since I am opposed to most of the bar furniture that is readily available. I settled on an abandoned bookshelf in the basement for the time being.
After seeing this in the I think I am now on the hunt for an antique carpenters bench or something of the like.

They tell me not to go and I know they mean well.
I've three strikes against me, already, they say:
"Don't go to the Middle East because you could die for this."
But how, then, do I explain to them how honored I'd be to die for this?
No one else sleeps inside this castle of skin. No one else hears the passionate whispers that reverberate in this heart's very capillaries; the incessant noise. How it refuses to go mute. No one deals with this need in me, but me, and the God who put me here.

Meet Cory Bauer, The 'Fishin' Hippy'
Cory Bauer is a lifelong resident of Wyoming. He's a '91 graduate from Kelly Walsh High School and he's also been a good friend of mine for the past 13 years. Cory is gifted with the patience it takes to be successful at fishing. When his nickname is 'Fishin' Hippy,' it's no wonder he's so good at his craft. I know you're thinking, "Wow, that's deep!" If you knew Cory the way I do, it's easy to know (see) the love he has in being in the water. He loves to fish the rivers of Wyoming, especially the North Platte here in his backyard! Glendo is another place Cory loves to cast a line, as is Boysen Reservoir, Alcova, Pathfinder, Ocean Lake, and Bass Lake. Some of his favorite spots on the Platte include: Gray Reef, Lusbys, below the Alcova Power Plant, Government Bridge, Narrows, and all through town! Of course another favorite spot is Fremont Canyon. Can't forget about the Canyon!
Cory credits his Grandmother for giving him the love of fishing, and he's adamant about stewardship of our wonderful wild places. He says, "Leave your site cleaner than when you arrived, respect the environment and harvest with an etiquette!"
Cory can be found honing his skills year round, of which he says, "Anytime I can go. Sometimes it's four or five times a week!" When he can't get out, he has video games to suppress the urge. Cory loves to share his knowledge and love with others. When I asked him about a partner, he replied, "There's nothing like the smile on another person's face (kids) when they catch and release a big trout!"
He does share time with with the lady of his life, Tambra, when it comes to his hobby. They both say spending time together fishing helps their relationship and Cory finds solitude and peace.
The Hippy's preference is spinner fishing, he specializes in tube jigs and swim baits. My hope is through Cory's tips I can learn to be a better fisherman. It's gonna be a good summer with some crazy tales to come, and I hope everyone will enjoy the ride!

Top health benefits of Sarvangasana yoga pose
By TNT Bureau
Dec 18, 2017: The Sarvangasana or supported shoulder stand is regarded as one of the most popular yoga poses. This asana is loaded with a number of benefits for the body as well as the mind.
In this asana, the gravity helps in increasing the venous blood flow to your heart, brain, digestive organs and eyes. In fact, each and every part of your body gets benefitted.

Some important cautions
- For those who suffer from high blood pressure or spine and neck strain, then it is suggested that you practise this yoga pose with a qualified yoga guru who will recommend a much safer version of the pose with yoga props
- Don't do this asana during menstruation as well as pregnancy.
- Don't do this asana post meals.
- Ensure that the weight is dispersed between your shoulders and upper arms, don't strain your neck. Make sure it isn't glued to the ground. Also, make certain that there is sufficient space between the ground and your neck to glide fingers under it.
Steps to do Sarvangasana
Lie on the ground on your back, raise up your legs in a straight manner and put them behind your back. Then, place your hands on the upper arms while moving your body vertically up. Lower your legs behind your head and then slowly, bone by bone, roll your back onto the ground to come down.
The varied health benefits
— Soothes nervous system, decreases heart rate and calms the mind.
— Regulates the hormone secretion of the parathyroid and thyroid glands
—Fight against asthma and throat infections.
— Normalizes digestion and increases metabolism
— Tones your shoulders, back, thighs, and gluts.
— Eases swollen legs

Similar to other yoga poses, Sarvangasana also requires consistency. Begin by staying in the pose for at least 30 seconds. Then, with each passing day, increase the seconds and one fine day you will surely be capable of holding this yoga pose for an entire 5 minutes. It is then that you can experience a huge array of health benefits.

A splendid evening with our lecturers Peter "Bertie" Hunt and Gerard Prime. See here for the details of the lecture advertised in advance.
It was a most convivial occasion with a good crowd of about 12 people with plenty of informed conversation before and after the lecture over refreshments.
Gerard brought his most splendid collection along of Insignes de Tradition, and we all learnt much about French forces in general, as well as more specifically their insignia and of their Indo-China experiences. Peter related how he has been interested in researching French Indo-Chinese history for some time and has recently come back from Dien Bien Phu.
A hearty thank you to all who made this special and unusual occasion possible.

The definitive guide marijuana oil
The definitive guide marijuana oil
Check grades of a vaporizer is essential for a pleasant experience.
If you have a vaporizer you have to keep in mind that the temperature control is paramount. Of course, you'll always have on
hand the instructions and advice of your trusted seller, but if this were not enough, here are some facts you should manage to bring out the maximum performance from your vaporizer.
The ideal temperature for a variety of psychoactive compounds is 185°C (have a reference, water boils at 100 degrees Celsius). A good temperature for cannabis which is between 180°C and 210°C. The temperatures are below 190°C can produce a 'high' more mental while temperatures above these tend to produce 190 'high' body. So take your pick.
The temperature to evaporate all cannabinoids is between the 157°C and 220°C. But each cannabidoid has different degrees of boiling. Another very important thing to note is that the grass begins to burn if it is subjected to a temperature between 200°C and 230°C, so be very careful spend 200 degrees.
Then you have information where you can check the different boiling temperatures at each cannabinoid.
The ideal temperature of the known cannabinoid THC (relaxing substance) is 157°C; the CBD (has many medicinal uses) bowl between 160°C and 180°C, the Delta-8-THC bowl between 175°C and 178°C; THCV to 220°C; CBC (anti-inflammatory) to 220°C; CBN (sedative effect) at 185°C.
When temperature control is important to take into account the production of toxins (chemicals harmful to the human body). One of the advantages of the vaporizers is that extract the active ingredients of cannabis, but without removing toxins from the combustion, such as tar and carbon monoxide. The steam may contain a fraction of a toxin, of course, a trifle compared to the toxins in cigarette smoke.
Another issue to consider is the humidity (or dryness) having the cannabis at the time of introduction into the vaporizer. The temperature at which we have to submit marijuana will not be the same if it is a dry herb or an herb that is wetter. If cannabis is dry it will vaporize faster, although it is subject to too high a temperature boiling the risk you run, thus eliminating the risk of the taste and aroma of marijuana runs. If, however, marijuana is wet, put the vaporizer to a temperature below that corresponding (should be put between 138-148ºC).
Today, with most of the vaporizers you can control the temperature well. At Piensa En Verde, we offer the possibility of acquiring a vaporizer in which you can easily set the desired temperature. This is the Vaporizer Ascent easy to use, with a display and 3 programmable buttons to select temperatures. This vaporizer can reach temperatures up to 221°C.
Another vaporizer that provides great versatility as far as temperature is concerned is the Arizer Solo with high quality ceramic heater and selects nothing more and nothing less than to 7 temperatures.
Other vaporizers in which control grades is an easy task is the Da Vinci V2 which incorporates a digital temperature control system, which makes it very easy to use. This vaporizer is able to heat up in 50 seconds to more than 200 degrees, cooling fast.
There are even vaporizers with remote control, as the Arizer Extreme Q, can quickly reach the desired temperature and digital display indicates precisely 9 different vaporization temperatures, depending on the material to be heated. Arizer Extreme Q going with a remote control to control it without having to move. In addition, you can program a period of 2-4 hours for the vaporizer turns off automatically.

Recovering from the flu is not as easy as it sounds. Like it, or not, life doesn't just stop when you get sick. Sure, you can take a little time off from work but, ultimately you have to go back before you're ready and somehow have to find your feet and the energy to just go through the paces.
I didn't even write much when I was off sick. Seriously, I spent the majority of my time asleep, coughing my lungs up until my head hurt, or pecking about at games on facebook that required little to no effort on my part to think about what to do. For me to do anything important was just out of the question since I felt halfway delirious through most of the time I was off. I basically rarely came out of my corner in the living room. But, work started to call to see if I was up to working and I realized that I wasn't going to make any money sitting at the house like I was. So it was time to pick myself up and start trying to get back to normal.
I'm still not 100%. I think that's still a ways off actually. I can't do a whole lot by way of physical activity yet. Walking short distances makes me winded right now. That's primarily due to the congestion that I'm battling still. But, it is getting better day by day. I've worked some crazy hours this week at the day job. In fact, I've pretty much exhausted my hours of service for the week; meaning that they can't work me anymore until Wednesday. I did however get some overtime which is good. At least I was able to play catch up somewhat in the wages department.
I have some exciting news to announce once I confirm things tomorrow. But suffice it to say that it appears that I'll be making my first official appearance as an author to do a book signing event. I am so excited about that. I'll post all the details as soon as I have them available. This will be promoting my first book The Secret of the Storm though. I'll be planning a release event for The Fallen as soon as it is ready to go. Being ill has been a major set back. But I'm getting back up to full steam, even if I'm not entirely there yet.
My big disappointment is realizing that with this illness, I might not be able to train enough to be ready for the March Color Up 5K. I really wanted to do this too. But I want to be able to complete the race as well. I can't see a point in paying out the race fees if I can't complete the distance. And right now, I don't think I can. As soon as I feel like I can get a good start on training I'll be able to gauge better on the timing but, it means that I'll likely be getting my race fees in last minute.
Now for some people this would be the point where they would throw in the towel and ask, "What's the point?" Not so long ago I would have done just that. I was quick to just give up when things didn't go just how I planned them or I got the least bit discouraged. But, there is a big difference in where I was and where I am now. This isn't about a quick fix or losing a set amount of weight for me. This is all about making a different lifestyle for myself. I am in the process of reinventing nearly every aspect of my life. This is about being healthier all around for me, not just speaking in a physical sense either. This is truly a holistic change for me.
I'm learning more about myself than I could have possibly known. I'm realizing that I can say no to things that aren't right for me without feeling guilty about it. I'm figuring out that if I don't look out for my needs, then no one else will either. I have a long journey ahead of me but, I think that I'm going to try and take the time to enjoy it and see where I end up this time instead of trying to force things that aren't in my control to begin with. There is only so much that I can change. Ultimately that change has to be for myself and not to please anyone else. That has truly been the lesson of the last couple years.
Whether or not I get to hit the course with the other runners in March is irrelevant really. There will be another race later in the year that I can participate in. Whenever it happens, I will do a 5K this year. And I will meet other goals along the way as well. Losing pounds is just a byproduct of all of the change and living my life to be happier and more active in my participation in life. I will do a race just like I will take a trip or two during the year and get my butt to the gym more.
This is all a matter of perspective. This year is about changing my perspective. Though, it got off to a rough start in the health department, I didn't die from having H1N1 and that's a good thing. And I'm finally able to start getting back to my goals for the year. So expect more posts and some minor changes to the blog as we go along.
If you're so inclined, drop me a comment and tell me how your first few weeks of the year have gone. Have you held to any of your own resolutions?

I first learned about alternate-nostril breathing, or Nadi Shodhan pranayama, in an ayurvedic massage class years ago. My teacher used it as a way to relax and prepare us for learning the techniques in a specific massage routine called garshana-abhyanga. I found it to be a very simple and effective method for calming and centering my mind and my breath, and the result was that I was much more focused and relaxed. Since that time, various yoga teachers have led me through a few cycles of alternate-nostril breathing during classes, and I find that practicing this on my own helps greatly when I need to clear the cobwebs from my head, relax, bring more oxygen to the blood to recover from a headache or de-stress.
Medical science tells us that we don't breathe evenly through both nostrils – that at any given time, one nostril is able to take in more air than the other, and throughout the day this will shift from one side to the other in a process called the nasal cycle. Our nostrils also correlate to the left and right hemispheres of the brain, so this means that during the nasal cycle, one hemisphere is getting more oxygen than the other. By practicing alternate-nostril breathing, one is able to balance both hemispheres of the brain, which calms the mind and the nervous system. This can result in reduced anxiety, relief from headache, reduction of stress and sleeplessness, lowering of blood pressure, and increased respiratory endurance.
The technique is simple, and can be practiced anytime, anywhere. Five minutes is all you need. With a little practice, you may find this to be a very useful tool in your self-care toolbox.

Progressive and democratic organizations came together in Delhi in the first major protest since Muzzafarnagar against the drive for communal polarization by Hindutva forces as also the first major protest against the Dadri lynching.

The march was flagged off by veteran Human Rights activist and ex President of PUCL Justice Rajinder Sacchar who was introduced by Shri Pankaj Singh, poet and member of Janhastakshep.… Read More
Turkey : Bomb Blasts at Peace Rally
Peace Rally against growing attacks by Turkey state forces against Kurd fighters, called by Kurdish organizations and Labour Unions was disrupted by two bomb blasts which killed nearly a hundred people and seriously injured more than two hundred participants. Death toll is expected to rise as more and more people succumb to their injuries. These bomb blasts have come merely three weeks before the parliamentary elections in Turkey which ruling Peace and Development Party is determined to win. Since failing to win in last parliamentary elections largely due to strong showing by HDP supported by Kurds and a section of workers, Erdogan and AKP have torn away their ceasefire agreement with Kurds and launched a series of attacks against PKK intensifying armed conflict in Turkey. Earlier in June 2015 bomb blast had killed 32 Kurds in Suruc. HDP leader, Demitras, has blamed Turkish Govt. for these blasts. He has labeled Erdogan Govt. as 'Mafia Govt.' behaving like a 'serial killer'. Rallies have been held across Europe against this attack on Peace Rally.
Ever since Muslim Brotherhood (MB), AKP being a new incarnation of MB, leader Erdogan, after the upswing in people's struggles in Arab world, started executed his expansionist plans to countries of Middle-East and in particular toppling Assad regime in Syria to bring that country into its orbit, the conflict inside Turkey has grown.… Read More

Press Statement on Arson at the house of Com. Radheyshyam
Press Statement by INDIAN FEDERATION OF TRADE UNIONS (IFTU)
Early this morning the room from which IFTU National Committee member Com. Radheyshyam operates in Greater Noida was set on fire and more than 500 books, manuscripts and papers related to trade union work, photographs of great teachers of working class and great patriots like Bhagat Singh and Chandrashekhar Azad were totally gutted. Com. Radheyshyam is the ex-President of the Shramik Sangh of Denso India Ltd., a multinational company.
On 29th September Com. Radheyshyam had led a team of the workers' leaders of the company to the home of their colleague whose brother, Aflaq Ahmed, was lynched in Bisada village the previous night. Aflaq had worked in Denso for some time as a temporary worker while his brother is a permanent workman of Denso. The arsonists specifically attacked this room; Com.

His relative lives on the ground floor and woke in the morning in time to see someone going out from the house. He found his house bolted from the outside and his power switched off from the meter. Meanwhile neighbour saw smoke emanating from the rood and alerted Com.… Read More
Statement Against Indian Govt.'s Big-brotherly Actions and Unofficial Blockade of Nepal
Central Committee of CPI(ML)-New Democracy strongly opposes the big brotherly attitude of the Indian Govt. towards Nepal. Indian govt. had tried to stop promulgation of the constitution in Nepal and had sent Foreign Secretary to pressurize the Nepal govt. and political parties. Since promulgation of the Constitution Indian Govt. has openly and blatantly interfered in the internal affairs of the neighbouring country by publicly demanding changes in their Constitution. Indian Govt. has sought to build pressure on the ruling establishment of Nepal by imposing an undeclared blockade of the land locked small neighbour. Hundreds of trucks are stranded at the check posts due to deliberate inaction of Indian authorities. The undeclared blockade has created shortages of fuel, medicines and other essential items.
CPI(ML)-New Democracy condemns this undeclared blockade and demands that Indian Govt. immediately resume supplies to Nepal. We also strongly condemn the open interference by Indian Govt. in the internal affairs of Nepal. It is not the first time that Indian Govt. has imposed blockade on Nepal. Rajiv Gandhi Govt. had done so in 1989 when the then Nepal Govt. had contracted purchase of some military equipment from China. This blackmail of Nepal is against the friendship of the people of India and Nepal.… Read More
Those employees of Denso India Limited (situated in NOIDA) who lived in Dadri learnt in the early hours of 29th September that the brother of one of their workers had been beaten to death late the previous night by a mob in his village Bishada situated 4 kms. north of Dadri. The son of the dead man had also been severely beaten and was fighting for life in a nearby hospital where had been admitted by the police.
Led by Com. Radheyshyam, Member of the National Committee of Indian Federation of Trade Unions (IFTU) and also ex-General Secretary of the Shramik Sangh along with Shri Vinod Bhati ex-President of Shramik Sangh and other workmen associated with the Shramik Sangh, a team of employees of Denso India Ltd. went to Bishada to console the workman Jan Mohammed and his family on 29th September, 2015. There they learnt the details of the horrible circumstances concerning these killings.
This village is the native village of Jan Mohammed (family has lived here for generations) who himself lives in Dadri and works as a technician in Denso India Ltd. His brother, Ikhlaq Ahmed (who was killed) worked as a blacksmith and was a living in the village.… Read More
The TRS government in the new State of Telangana seems to be toeing the same policy as adopted by the previous governments in regard to dealing with political activities of communist revolutionary organizations. The gunning down of two Maoists under the facade of `encounter' is a testimony to the repressive approach that the government is adopting to contain a political movement, extra-judicial or fake encounter killings being a violent mode of state repression. It appears to be following a line of stifling any democratic protest against such killings as is clear from the way in which it tried to suppress the Chalo Assembly programme organized under the auspices of Telangana Democratic Forum.
In the first place it is highly reprehensible that the police refused to give permission to the protest rally against the killing of Shruti and Vidyasagar in a fake encounter under the false plea that some anti-social elements were going to create trouble. The police in a big way began to arrest leaders of the TDF a day before and prevented people coming to Hyderabad from the districts.
This morning the police arrested leaders of nine political parties, that included V. Venkataramaiah of CPI(ML) New Democracy, Veerabhadram (CPM), Chada Venkat Reddy (CPI), when they tried to take out a rally from the Sundaraiah Park.… Read More

God Gave Us Stewardship, In His Likeness, To Love And Care For His creation (Genesis 1)
"The Lord was grieved that He had made man on the earth and His heart was filled with pain" (Genesis 6 v 6).
"I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh" (Genesis 9 v 12).
"They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, for the earth shall be full of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea" (Isaiah 11 v 9).
This Is Christ Jesus, Lord Of Creation . . .
"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End" (Revelation 21 v 6).
"He is the image of the invisible God, the first born over all creation. For by Him all things were created, all things were created by Him and for Him" (Colossians 1 v 15).
"And God made known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfilment – to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ" (Ephesians 1 v 9-10).
This Is Contemporary Stewardship . . .
Christ Jesus sacrificed His own life on the Cross for the redemption of the world. He said, "Whosoever seeks to save his life will lose it" and asked, "What profiteth it a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul" (Matthew 16 v 25-26).
Mankind sacrifices millions of animals as laboratory tools in experiments which cause them grievous suffering, both physical and psychological.
These experiments take place in an attempt to enhance man's own life and to increase his knowledge of warfare, drugs, alcohol and household goods etc. Is this Christ-like sacrifice?
Factory Farming
Christ Jesus said, "I am the bread of life . . ." (John 6 v 35).
Countless millions of today's food animals are reared in conditions which disregard their physical, psychological and behavioral needs.
Poultry, pigs and cows suffer the greatest exploitation of factory farming, but no food animal is entirely safe from the pressures of consumer demands and economic greed. Is this Christ-like food?
Bloodsports And Entertainment
Christ Jesus described the love of God for His creation as wondrously all-embracing. "Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God" (Luke 12 v 6).
Participants of bloodsports gain pleasure by terrifying, maiming and killing.
Wild animals used for entertainment, who would naturally be ranging large expanses of terrain, cannot possibly have their physical or psychological needs met when chained or confined to a cage. Is this Christ-like pleasure?
Fur Trading
Christ Jesus said that true beauty lies within us, in a pure and merciful heart (Matthew 5 v 7-8).
Luxury furs are worn as symbols of wealth or of beauty.
To provide these symbols, millions of His wild animals die agonising deaths in traps or live cruelly confined lives in factory farms, only to be plucked or skinned alive. Is this Christ-like beauty?
Christ Jesus Will Return To Judge The Stewards Of His Creation (Luke 12)
"Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved" (Matthew 24 v 12).
"Who then is the faithful servant whom the Master has put in charge of the servants in His household to give them their food at the proper time? It will be good for that servant whose Master finds Him doing so, when He returns" (Matthew 24 v 45).
"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me'" (Matthew 25 v 40).
According to the Bible, Jesus will return to claim His own and to judge us all. We are all fallen and must not judge one another. But this is not easy when His followers are constantly seen to be "passing by on the other side" when it comes to caring about His animal kingdom. It is important to remember that when Christ Jesus does return, He will expect more of His followers than of others, "That servant who KNOWS his master's will and does not get ready or does not do what his master wants will be beaten with MANY blows. But the one who does NOT KNOW and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with FEW blows. From everyone who has been given much, MUCH will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, MUCH more will be asked" (Luke 12 v 47-48). Yet at the moment secular animal welfarists appear to be leading in the struggle against profit-motivated animal abuse. So what happened to our Christian responsibility to transform the world, rather than to be conformed to it? Isn't our task to uphold Christ's standard in the battle against evil wherever it is found, not to use the assurance of salvation as an excuse to ignore the suffering of His creatures? "Do not merely listen to the word and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says" (James 1 v 22). "What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith, but has no deeds?" (James 2 v 14).
Unrepentant involvement in the exploitation of God's creatures will be revealed at judgement and neither the Church, nor individual Christians, will be exempt from this.
Not only this but, in their implied complicity with animal abuse, Christians have played a huge part in the loss of the many thousands of animal welfarists who have turned away from Christ to embrace Eastern religions or New Age cults.
God Intends Restoring His Creation to His Original Perfect Will
This is the good news of the Gospel. It is to be done through Christ Jesus, whose incarnation is promised throughout the Old Testament and fulfilled in the New Testament. Jesus revealed His overwhelming love for all His creatures by His sacrificial death on the Cross, and His supreme authority by His Resurrection. "For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through His blood, shed on the Cross" (Colossians 1 v 19-20).
For the complete fulfillment of Redemption we must wait until Jesus returns to bring about judgment and justice for all His creatures. This is why both God's people and God's creation yearn for the coming of Christ to deliver them from suffering, "How long Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?" (Revelation 6 v 10) and "The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed . . . in hope that creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God" (Romans 8 v 19-21).
But we are empowered to make choices of action (see here – "What might help …") which will have a bearing upon and alleviate the sufferings of creation, as well as upon our own relationship with God in Christ Jesus: "Today I am giving you a choice between good and evil, between life and death" (Deuteronomy 30 v 15).
The Parable of The Ten Bridesmaids
In Matthew 25 v 1-13 Jesus tells the well-known story of the ten bridesmaids. Five were wise, and had brought oil for their lamps so that they would be ready for the arrival of the bridegroom. But the five foolish bridesmaids were not prepared and were shut out of the wedding banquet. It is one of Jesus' pointed parables. We are to keep awake and alert, for we do not know the time of Christ's coming.
This is a teaching in which we recognize the urgency of the Gospel message, reading Matthew's uncompromising words as we approach the celebration of Christ the King, in honour of Jesus Christ as Lord over all creation.
Jesus uses a lot of stories to explain what the kingdom of heaven is like. Each one uses scenes from everyday life that were familiar to his followers, to paint a picture of what it will be like to be with God. There is always a twist, though, a message in the story, but we have to work out the meaning for ourselves. Jesus says He is like a bridegroom coming to meet his bride and we are all invited to the celebration. The twist is that we need to be ready. We don't know when he is coming; it might be a long wait, but we have to be prepared. We have to act as though the kingdom is here already. Some theologians talk about this as being 'now and not yet'. Jesus' teaching on the kingdom emphasizes that it is in the 'here and now', not just a future event.
How do we think about the future? It's popular now to emphasize living in the moment, to just enjoy the present and not to care about the future. The kingdom of God is in the future, and it is our role to confidently wait and actively seek it. It is also in the 'now', as Jesus shared our suffering and the suffering of all His creatures; and He transforms it. In the same way, God calls us to be active in changing the world, in alleviating the suffering of all His creatures today, in the light of that future.
What does it mean to be ready and waiting, to be wise not foolish? How might our plans change if it's God's Peaceable Kingdom that we're getting ready for?

Not long ago, Machina Research published a whitepaper focusing on growing revenue opportunities in IoT field. It revealed that most of the revenue options in IoT field're closely associated with how perfectly companies explore monetization opportunities.
According to this paper, a total of $1.3 trillion IoT revenue is likely to be available between 2014 and 2024 for those companies that monetize IoT field effectively.
The report analyzes the monetization requirements essential to the growth of Internet of Things, which is expected to rule the technology world at least for the next 10-15 years. A wide number of consumer use cases have been considered in this paper. Different IoT -based business models will get complicated with time, thereby bring along complex monetization requirements.
The report also talks about seven key capabilities that are required by any monetization platform. These key capabilities are – Scalable, Real-time, Open, Flexible, Agile, Transparent and Secure, Built with the diverse requirements of the IoT in mind.
The report concludes the argument saying that the future will witness billions of devices, hundreds of billions of simultaneous events, real-time analytics, data brokering, feedback loops from customers, new business models, and many other things that haven't been thought of yet. At that time, the capabilities mentioned above will play a key role in relation to monetizing IoT platform.

Full Circle …Kid Again
As the years have ticked by my training has evolved to the point whereupon I have come full circle.
From the very start I was interested in being strong and athletic. This came about – don't laugh – by being a Conan comic fan.
I would hike, walk run and climb everywhere.
I lifted to be strong and look strong and healthy.
Even food at a young age was basic and clean. My Granddad was Latvian, and growing up I was heavily influenced by his eating habits which was 'natural fare', no crap.
For years I trained with anything – and looked upon everything being exercise.
I ran, dug bait on the beach, biked to a place miles away to fish, biked back and then would head off out camping. I was in constant motion, if I was home I was training if out I was 'doing stuff'.
Then I found bodybuilding, and to excel I dropped everything else and pursued my goal.
The goal built year upon year with many peaks and lows, but always with a slow steady rise to as far as I could go. As the achievements notched up the goal was that much harder, more and more other things got left on the shelve.
Now in my twilight years I am picking those things I loved back up again. No longer is the focus of training for the stage. The goal is again to be healthy, strong, athletic, and to look strong.
I feel like I am living again and enjoying everything all over again, but now with a perspective and gratefulness I never had, as you don't when you're young.
So I train hard and basic and enjoy a huge variety of programs. I strike at what motivates me and inspires me at the time, with no rhyme or reason other than loving to train to be strong, enjoying it, feeling strong and healthy.
Recently I have been running and doing free hand exercises whenever I feel like it.
If I walk the dog for two hours and I want to run hills and do chins on a tree branch, I do. With no other thought than loving it and feeling awesome.
Do you know what?
All those years of fussing about and now I feel I look better than at 90 percent of the time between shows. I look right and feel right for life.
The other day – I trained with Jo in my back yard, we did some press ups and chins. The sun was out – I had a vest on, I felt supple and really strong and muscular, I felt like I was a kid again I smiled to myself and my mind shot back to doing the same stuff at age 13-14, and what I would have given to look and feel like this now. I was Conan at last ha ha.
Be a kid again guys – do what you enjoy and move. Movement and strength will keep you young.

Las Vegas- On Friday, the Palms Casino Resort located in Las Vegas got a court order against one of its sacked ex-employees Jessica Hemingway, to stop her from making public the secret information related to thousands of economically sound players and guests of the casino that was stolen by her from work. According to Elayna Youchah, the legal representative of the company, there is a record and follow up of the activities such as the games played by regular customers; the time and frequency of playing as well as the spending behavior plus credit limits at Palms casino. The same information has been negotiated by Hemingway, who started working in the table games department as a host in Sep. 2011. A discretion contract was also signed by her with the company. To make sure that the customers were receiving admiring services in a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere plus fulfillment of their logical requests was the key duty of Hemingway. The company checked her e-mails after coming to know about her change of job in June and the incident of misappropriation of companys e-mails came to the surface. In the e-mails, there were lists of over 500 high-rolling players and 6,000 people qualifying for invitations to the popular Super Bowl party at the casino with their detailed information. There was also an excel sheet in the e-mails that contained the marketing plans of casino for the year 2011 for out-of-town guests.
As stated by Jessica in front of Elizabeth Gonzalez, the Clark County District Court Judge, the information was not made public by her and she took it home so that she could complete her work. She added that she was utilizing the information to enthuse more people to visit the Palms. A stable sanction has been passed by Gonzalez to ban 31 year old Jessica and her 32 year old fiancé Scott Yelton, a retired Oklahoma City fire paramedic from making the trade secrets public. The casino officials have been blamed by Jessica for dismissing her from job on 9th July following a charge of sexual harassment by a male supervisor of the casino filed with the Nevada Equal Rights Commission. Jessica and Yelton gave their presence in front of the judge without hiring any lawyer. The order given by court to check Jessicas computer by casino officials was unchallenged by the two while they discarded a planned contract with Palms representatives about dropping of the sexual harassment allegation. Yelton stated that both of them just wanted to get their names cleared from the allegation referring to the preliminary reports of the case in the Las Vegas Sun on Thursday.
According to Elizabeth Nelson, the legal representative of Palms, the e-mails compromised by Jessica contained over 50,000 files excluding the Social Security numbers. Further, she added that she has no idea about the awaited legal actions related to the sexual harassment case and details of charge filed against Jessica in Clark County District Court on Tuesday. As per court filing against Jessica, the e-mailed files contained important secret information about the trade of Palms Casino Resort. A report in relation to Jessicas behavior was submitted by Palms with the Nevada Gaming Control Board, the status of which is still awaited according to Mark Lipparelli. The spokesperson of the police, Jose Hernandez of Las Vegas said that so far no report has been filed with the police.

Future Ft. Young Thug & Quavo – Upscale
Future and Young Thug work a lot with each other and only they know how many records they have in the stash.
The two friends, who apparently have each other's names tatted on them, have joined forces yet again on a new song titled 'Upscale'. A snippet of this track surfaced back in April but the full version is here today.
"Upscale fashion, on the carpet more than Aladdin / Park it at Magic, whippin' up, whippin' up magic," sings Quavo on the chorus in his typical fashion over the flute-driven instrumental.

I can't express to you how in love with these pictures I am! With the sheer stripes on the skirt and the sparkle of the shoes in the sun… Sheesh, these ones make me so happy! And speaking of the sheer stripes in the skirt (and making me happy), how freaking adorable is this skirt by Alli K!?! I have so many plans for it and I kind of want to wear it every day, even if it's only around the house, just to feel pretty. When I was little and took ballet, I had a sheer wrap around skirt that my mom made for me to wear over my leotard and tights, it had about the same coloring as this very skirt. Wearing it stirs up so many fun memories for me. It's like a grown up version of a pretty little ballet piece, now you go ahead and tell me one person who wouldn't be in to that! You can't, I already know.
So much detail is put into Alli K clothing, with the perfect pleats in the skirt and the elastic side band on the button up top… And did you see the button detailing on the back at the neck? Swoon worthy details, I'm tellin' you! They haven so many skirts and dresses, all with lovely little details, to twirl and shake in. Clothing that makes you want to move, just to see how it moves, is clothing worth wearing if you ask me! I've got my eye on a few more dance worthy pieces, like this striped pleated skirt and this petal adorned dress. Throw in this killer crochet cutout sweatshirt and I'm sold! Check out her whole collection right over here…
Top: Crop Shirt with Elastic Side Band by Alli K // Skirt: Organza Stipe Floral Pleated Skirt by Alli K // Leather Jacket: Vintage // Shoes: Opening Ceremony Grunge Sneakers // Bag: Zara

After a University of Maryland student's whiteboard was plastered with a derogatory slur last Monday, police are not classifying the event as a hate bias incident.
Sophomore psychology and Spanish major Logan Dechter wrote the definition of homophobia on his whiteboard outside his dorm in Anne Arundel Hall after several LGBT-friendly messages were erased from it, he said. An individual later wrote "REEEEE" on top of the message, he added.
The term is meant to sound like a frog but as a scream, and is used to either express outrage or represent so-called autistic screeching, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.
"Not only was it insulting to the LGBT community, but it was also insulting to the disabled community, so it was homophobic and ableist in that sense," said Dechter, who added he was so upset he had to skip one of his classes. "I was really upset by that. I was anxious and angry."
The Department of Resident Life sent out a letter to the dorm residents Monday night calling the act a hate bias incident and wrote it was "appalling," "offensive" and "unacceptable." But University Police said the incident doesn't qualify as a hate bias incident.
"It was a joke," police spokeswoman Sgt. Rosanne Hoaas said. "The individual who wrote the word, it was an attempt to be funny but that's something that again the motivation behind did not rise to hate bias.
"The law in this regard is what is the individual's motivation behind said behavior or action. Since we were able to talk to both individuals, it was determined from our standpoint at least it did not rise to be a hate bias incident."
Tracy Kiras, Resident Life's assistant director for communications and marketing, said, "After interviewing the students, it was definitely confirmed that there was no hate or bias behind the word in the drawing that's on the whiteboard."
The same resident who drew on Dechter's whiteboard also drew the symbol for Kek — a god-like figure representing part of the white nationalist movement that uses memes to attack groups online — on his own whiteboard, Hoaas said.
Kek represents the alt-right ideology of "racial, ethnic and misogynistic hate," and the group's logo is prevalent at alt-right and white supremacist marches, including the march in Charlottesville, Virginia, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center website.
"Either way, it's not okay, because even if this is just a joke, it perpetuates the idea that hate is okay," said Michael Weiss, a freshman biology major who also lives in Anne Arundel Hall. "And there are certain things you should just not joke about … it's mean-spirited."
While University Police said the case is closed, Resident Life is still conducting its own investigation. The department would not comment on whether this case will be referred to the Office of Student Conduct.
"We're continuing to work with the students because words have an impact," Kiras said. "We try to take a very educational approach with our students to help them understand what it means to live in a community, what it means to write things that they might think are harmless or comical or meaningless, but actually have impact on other community members."

DevOps has become an effective way for federal agencies to bring new technologies and processes online. As much as it is a way of working, it is also a work culture, and almost a philosophy and it may, in fact be the first manifestation in the government IT world of the impact of millennials' views of the world – fast, repetitive, automated, collaborative, less risky, small-scale – but with a collective big impact – and a permanent change to how organizations think about infrastructure investment.
First, an explanation: DevOps, from Development and Operations, is based on the idea that bringing together employees who develop solutions with employees who perform the mission will encourage collaboration on ideas that actually improve how people do their day-to-day jobs. A big part of making DevOps work is automating as much testing as possible, whether it's for functionality, security, Section 508 compliance, load balancing, and so on. Automated testing is a crucial part of DevOps because software updates for improved or new functionality are released often – in many cases, once a day – so testing the software has to happen just as quickly.
"I like to think of DevOps as today's best practice," said Mark Schwartz, CIO for U.S. Customs and Immigration Services. "We're using DevOps everywhere we can … We have a number of new systems that we were able to greenfield with the DevOps approach. [Then] we have legacy systems where we're using the strangler approach."
"CIO Schwartz is becoming well known for his advocacy of the strangler approach; it's a strange reference, yet apt," said Yogesh Khanna, Chief Technology Officer at CSRA. "It's an analogy to the way in which a vine, like Kudzu, can slowly overcome a much larger tree, by isolating one branch, or section, at a time, and then using it to sustain the vine, rather than the tree."
"In the context of DevOps, it means finding a small part of a system that can be redeveloped and then integrated with the legacy system, Khanna continued. Once critical functions have been identified, it's time to turn it over to the DevOps team for re-creation, automation, and finally rigorous testing. This is the primary way that legacy and proprietary systems, which make up a significant part of the federal government's IT infrastructure, can be modernized."
Ann Dunkin, CIO at the Environmental Protection Agency, supported Schwartz's approach. She pointed out that not only are big modernization programs inherently more risky than taking the DevOps one-limb-at-a-time approach, waiting so long to impose big transformation means technological developments are diverging further and further away from the legacy system, which is stuck in one place like a fly in amber. That means opportunity costs, both for the mission of the agencies and for the employees.
"We have to stop doing that. We have to keep modernizing constantly," Dunkin said.

Dry-Clean Your Meat Dress & Save the Date: A Lady Gaga Documentary Is Coming to Netflix
Call Jo Calderone and gather up your fellow Little Monsters because a Mother Monster—aka Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, aka Lady Gaga—biopic is coming to a Netflix queue near you.
Gaga announced her forthcoming documentary, Gaga: Five Foot Two, via a series of very personal Instagram videos and psychedelic images of her face melting posted over the last several days.
In the first video, the "Poker Face" singer swims in a pool alone as a voice-over of Gaga crying on the phone to her best friend Brandon Maxwell plays. Clearly distressed, she confides, "I'm alone, Brandon, every night. And all these people will leave, right? They will leave and then I'll be alone. And I go from everyone touching me all day and talking at me all day to total silence." *Heart breaks immediately*
In another clip, she appears especially vulnerable as she sits on the table during a doctor's appointment for her chronic pain.
The final clip shows the iconic singer sharing her admiration for Madonna, but of course cuts after she says, "The only thing that really bothers me about her is…" Tell us, tell us, tell us!
The anthemic singer also shared several other videos: one of her being lifted to the roof before her Super Bowl performance, and another divulging she has not yet seen the full documentary because she doesn't think she can be objective.
Gaga: Five Foot Two hits Netflix September 22. Buckle up for an emotional ride.

Grayling's Tough Line on Crime Puzzles Tory Conference
Chris Grayling, the shadow home secretary, was on his feet talking to conference this morning. This used to be the most predictable gig of the week: stand up, denounce criminals, promise floggings for yobs (it is, after all, the only language they understand) and exit to wild applause.
But that was pre-D.C., before Cameron. After all that early "hug a hoodie" stuff there has been a tougher line on Grayling's watch. However, the Tory party is currently confused. It doesn't quite know where it's supposed to be on law'n'order and is unsure which bits of a speech on the subject it should be clapping. Isn't the party trying to show its nicer side?
