Divine Deliverance - The Word at the Beginning
Week Five, Day Four
April 4, 2019
The book of John begins with one of the most critical truths of the Bible. It's not meant to create confusion, but if we aren't careful we may shake our heads and skip right over it. It says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
With God's Word, creation was spoken into existence. God's Word has always been orderly and intentional. It is directly connected to His will. He doesn't speak in vain. He doesn't break promises. He doesn't say what we want to hear. He leaves us with His Word in several forms. We have the Bible, which breathes life into any lost cause. It can always be used for teaching. We have the Holy Spirit, who works the Word into our hearts, churning our endless muttering into clarity. We have God's will, knowing that God's word is final and everything that happens to us, good or bad, will make all things work for our good and His glory.
How do we rest on this? If God's Word is never in vain, our worship and praise should not be either. When we praise Him with our tongue do we simultaneously sin against Him with it? Will your words today and your praise to Him be intentional and reverent, or will you speak to Him in vain. You decide.
Great Creator, you don't speak in vain. Everything you do is packed with intent, and part of your perfect will to grow the Kingdom. As everything you have done is intentional, and you gave us the ability to think and speak, we want to honor you with our thoughts and words. Thank you for your Word, and for giving us the Word as your guide. We love you. Amen.

Babatunde Adu a.k.a T-Money Adu or Alaga Promoter who laundered almost a million pounds in a year in the United Kingdom, will spend more than six years behind bars.
A Nigerian fraudster, Babatunde Adu a.k.a T-Money, who laundered almost a million pounds in a year has been jailed for six years and four months.
His house was searched in October 2016 as part of a week-long police initiative to tackle card fraudsters, after intelligence suggested he had been using compromised cards to buy electronic goods with a value of £15,000 and sell these on.
Officers found a number of credit cards and a number of fraudulent documents, including a driving licence with Adu's picture but using an alias. When police researched this name they found a bank account which had been used in 2014 to receive £50,000 from a romance fraud.
Further enquiries found there had been a £900,000 turnover in a bank account during the previous year.
Adu was found guilty of disguising criminal property at Inner London Crown Court on Tuesday, 4 July, following a trial and was sentenced to a total of six years and four months' imprisonment. He had already pleaded guilty to three other charges.
Detective Constable Damian Ward, of the Dedicated Card and Payment Crime Unit (DCPCU), said: "Adu was a career fraudster who had falsely obtained money through a variety of means and I am delighted with this conviction. This sentence should send a message to any would-be fraudsters that you will be caught and punished."
Intelligence about Adu was passed to the Dedicated Card and Payment Crime Unit to investigate during a week of action against remote purchase fraud in October which saw the unit work with retailers, banks and the card schemes to take action against fraudsters. The DCPCU is sponsored by the banking industry and made up of officers from the City of London Police and the Metropolitan Police Service, bank investigators and support staff from UK Finance.
Established in April 2002, the DCPCU has since achieved an estimated £486 million in savings from reduced fraud activity. The DCPCU is a unique proactive police unit, with a national remit. It is sponsored by UK Finance, the new industry body representing around 300 firms in the UK providing credit, banking, markets and payments-related services.

In a press conference announcing SCTV's broadcast right of La Liga on Dec 18, Mr. Duong Nhat Nguyen, a representative of La Liga in Vietnam revealed the reason midfielder Nguyen Quang Hai did not come to Spain for trial job.
"Injury is not the main reason but both sides were unable to reach the final agreements. We repect Hanoi FC decision and Quang Hai's relatives. They have a better plan for him," Duong told reporters.
Deportivo Alaves invited Quang Hai to take 2-week training in Spain yet Hanoi FC and his family didn't accept the invitation.
Not only Quang Hai but Van Toan and Tuan Anh from HAGL are also offered the same. The reason for this is because of the similairy between the style of 2 countries.
"First and foremost, Spanish club is impressed with the performance of the Vietnamese team at the AFF Cup 2018, the Asian Cup final in the UAE as well as some qualifying matches at World Cup 2022.
But the most important reason is the similarities between the two football styles which focuses on mostly technical, the midfielders do not need to be tall but play wisely, mature and know how to keep tempo. Besides Alaves, there are a few other clubs interested in Vietnamese players, " Thanh Nien quoted Duong Nhat Nguyen.
The great progress of Vietnam in the continental arena as well as the region over the past time made European teams to pay more attention to Vietnamese players.
The latest is the case of Doan Van Hau, who moved to Heerenveen in 1999 and just made his first-team debut against Roda in the Dutch Cup on December 18.

The Fed has kept interest rates at zero percent for 27 months and has created–out of the blue–2 trillion new dollars in the last few years alone. If these actions constitute a strong dollar policy, Americans can only cringe at the thought of what a weak dollar policy on the part of the Fed would possibly look like!
Ben Bernanke's hour-long press conference was packed full of an amazing quantity of contradictions, and economic fallacies. For example, the price of gold soared by $25 during the conference as the dollar was falling to a new 52 week low. In fact, the U.S. dollar has lost 40% of its purchasing power as measured against a basket of foreign currencies in the last decade alone. And the price of gold has risen 400% during that same time frame. Yet somehow Bernanke wanted investors to believe that these conditions are just transitory even though they have been in place for the last 10 years. How could they possibly be transitory if the Fed maintains its zero percent interest rate policy and refuses to reduce the size of its balance sheet?
He also had the temerity to suggest that stable prices actually engender rising unemployment and that inflation needs to be near 2% for an economy to function properly without the threat of deflation. But the former Princeton Professor never explained the economics behind how a strong and stable dollar can ever lead to increasing layoffs. Could it be that Bernanke is unaware that a stable dollar is absolutely necessary for a vibrant middle class and to have an economy that is balanced with the appropriate amount of savings and investment?
The Fed head finally uttered a truth when he correctly stated that low and contained inflation expectations are essential for a strong economy and that the FOMC would closely monitor those expectations of rising prices. However, Bernanke fails to understand that he is doing everything in his power to make sure those inflation fears become intractable. He blamed the uptick in inflation on rising commodity prices that are again supposedly "transitory". But he fails to associate those rapidly rising commodity prices with the fall of the dollar, which is directly the result of the Fed's monetary policy. He instead blames the 30% rise of the CRB Index in the last year on "global factors."
But the most egregious error made during the press conference was Bernanke's failure to acknowledge the Fed's aiding and abetting of our huge budget deficits. Although he correctly identified the biggest problem facing our nation is our overwhelming debt, he failed to realize that it is the Fed's sponsorship of an ever expanding money supply that enables our government to run up massive debts without sending interest rates so high that they render the nation insolvent.
The sad truth, however, is what will be transitory is the U.S. dollar's status as the world's reserve currency. The end of that condition coupled with rapidly rising inflation will eventually send interest rates much higher than any economic model Bernanke has ever seen.

Top 5 Videos You Need For Your Marketing
1- Brand Introduction or Promo
These are probably the most common videos you see as a consumer. This is because they are used to generate awareness and act as the first point of contact that consumers have with a brand.
This takes many impressions to stick in consumer's minds. But, when done correctly, you paint a picture of your brand and what it should be associated with.
For example, look at this video below that we created for a local real estate agent here in the Fort Myers, Naples area. He wanted his branding to associate him with young family homes. So we created something that would incite a wholesome young family-centered feeling when you think about his brand as a realtor.
2- Customer Testimonials
People want to hear someone else's opinion before they make a big purchase decision. And this is your chance to spoon-feed opinions and information to them in the form of a third party.
It's important that none of the opinions are fake or too over the top. Viewers can smell that a mile away. Instead, what you should do is have a current customer talk on camera about why they work with you or why they purchase from you.
This turns into them basically convincing viewers that you're the best option and highlights your strengths as a company.
These videos also give you a chance to address doubts that potential clients might have. These statements: "Before I worked with them, I thought _____ but I was totally wrong because _____." is incredibly powerful. This is because the chances are, your viewers might have the same preconceptions about your company or brand.
For one of our examples of a customer testimonial video, here's one we did for the Florida Gulf Coast University School of Entrepreneurship. We wanted to attract prospective students and convert them into signing up for entrepreneurship classes. So we created this student testimonials video to be shown to a captive audience of prospective students at an event. All 30 prospective students that attended and viewed this video registered for classes and signed up for entrepreneurship classes that same day.
3- Behind The Scenes
After watching a behind the scenes video, your customers have faces to put to the brand/product. Faces of the company are vastly more memorable than simple branding videos. After a good behind the scenes video, your customers should feel like they know you as a friend.
These videos also give you the opportunity to show everything that goes into creating your product or service. This leaves everyone with a greater appreciation for everything you do.
Here's a behind the scenes video we created for Jade Strings and Sol Productions. They are wedding entertainers that collaborate to combine live instruments with DJ mixes. We wanted to show that the musicians don't just simply show up and start playing. These songs are well-rehearsed by professionals. Their personality is also on full display to show off how fun they are to work with and allows their customers to get to know them in this video.
This video ended up being their most engaged with content on any of their social media and resulted in customers reaching out to upgrade their packages that same day.
4- FAQ/Explainer Video
If people don't know how your product or service works, why would they pay you for it?
That's where explainer videos come in handy. They allow you to show things like the purchasing process, how to use the product, and even the benefits and reasons that they should be purchasing from you.
For a good example of an explainer video, here's one from Stitch Fix. It's important for them to have an explainer video because they offer a newer business model for the clothing industry that not everyone will understand right away. They use this video to show the entire process along with all the benefits they provide.
5- Fun/Trend Following
Spice up the personality in your branding! Show off that you have a creative team that loves working together.
This is similar to behind the scenes videos in terms of putting faces to the company. But, this time the goal is to show everyone having fun. Bonus points if there's a viral internet trend to hop on the back of. Think something like the ice bucket challenge or the Harlem shake trends.
Here's another video we did for the Florida Gulf Coast University School of Entrepreneurship. We wanted to show off the creativity of everyone in the program and how much fun it is. So we created this video inspired by creator Dan Mace. It ended up being the most popular post on the @fgcuentrepreneurs Instagram account!
At the end of the day, marketing your company takes a lot of time and expertise in different fields. Here at Rolling Fort Media, we'd like to help so you can worry about running other aspects of your business.

Speak out against E15 and a bad fishing proposal
It takes little time to make your voice heard, thanks to today's digital communications. And speaking out against two government proposals that impact dealers and customers is needed now.
1) We must tell the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency: NO MORE E15!
The EPA is now soliciting public comments on its proposed rule regarding renewable-fuel levels for 2018. This is our chance to let the EPA know that America's 88 million boaters and 35,000 businesses that make up the recreational boating and fishing industry need access to ethanol-free (E0) and E10 gasoline — and not more E15.
Under the EPA's proposal for 2018, the availability of E0 and E10 gasoline are in jeopardy. As the EPA continues to call for more ethanol in gasoline, the availability of E15 will correspondingly grow. More ethanol will diminish the capacity to keep producing E0.
It all increases the risk of boating consumers misfueling, thus jeopardizing their boats and boat engines across the country. The fact is that the nation's boaters need to be able to fill their boat with the fuel of their choice, and that's ethanol-free and/or E10.
The boating industry has been calling on the EPA to propose lower 2018 ethanol levels to ensure that boating families remain safe on the water and continue to enjoy access to approved fuel blends. This announcement is ultimately disconcerting for boaters and recreational marine businesses.
The EPA is soliciting public comments until Aug. 31 on its proposed rule regarding renewable fuel levels for 2018. Take a few minutes now and tell the EPA that you want continued access to ethanol-free and E10 gasoline and that the current ethanol volume should be reduced.
Go to: www.regulations.gov. Click on "Renewable Fuel Standards Program 2018." When it opens, click the "Comment Now" box at the upper right and complete your comment calling for the EPA to lower 2018 ethanol volume requirements.
2) You're not going to believe this action! In spite of the recreational fishing community's united opposition, the federal Office of Highly Migratory Species announced that a fleet of longliners will be allowed back into Florida's East Coast Closed Zone — an important conservation area.
Specifically, under an exempted fishing permit, a single company is going to be allowed to drop thousands of longline hooks inside the closed zone, targeting billfish and other species.
The zone was closed 16 years ago to protect juvenile swordfish and other species, such as billfish, sea turtles and overfished shark species. Buoy gear replaced longlines because they take no bycatch and have proved to be both useful in sustaining marine resources and compatible with recreational fishing.
It is estimated that 5,499 undersized swordfish, 759 billfish and 6,135 sharks would be killed by longlines under this EFP.
Many recreational anglers know the closed zone as a conservation success story. Not only have swordfish bounced back in strong numbers, but fishing for sailfish, yellowfin tuna, marlin and other recreational species also has been phenomenal. Reversing the recovery by allowing devastating longline gear to return makes no sense.
Tell your members of Congress to oppose this ill-advised plan and support common-sense federal fisheries management strategies, such as those proposed in the Modern Fish Act. Click below and take action today:

Figure 2
The next dialog box, shown in Figure 3, requires you to specify the input cell, the input values (which are assumed to be in regular increments), the output cells, and a location for the table. Note that range names can be used if they exist. The add-in checks your entries in this dialog box for "obvious" errors. For example, the input cell should not contain a formula or a label, the output range should not contain the input cell, the table location shouldn't write over existing values (unless you say it is OK to do so), and so on. However, we won't guarantee that it checks for everything, so be careful when making these entries. Be especially careful that you choose a location for the table that doesn't write over any information you don't want to lose (even though you'll be warned if you try to do so).
Figure 3
The table itself appears in Figure 4. (We've added the heading in row 1 manually.) The small red triangles are Excel comments that SolverTable automatically adds to a number of cells. For example, the comment in cell I4 reminds what the input cell is (in this case, D21). The comments in column J are the Solver messages you normally see after running Solver. For this example, they all contain the message you hope to see: "Solver found a solution. All constraints and optimality conditions are satisfied." However, if there is no feasible solution, say, then the comment will alert you to this. Note that unlike an Excel data table, SolverTable does not put formulas at the top of the table (in row 3 of the figure), because this wouldn't make sense. However, it does put the cell addresses of the output cells. This way, you can remember which outputs are being reported.
Figure 4
Figure 5
SolverTable then creates as many tables as there are output cells (in a vertical direction), as shown in Figure 6. Note that each cell in a table corresponds to a Solver run. For example, we see that when there are 4000 labor hours available and the wage rate is $4 per hour, the optimal profit is $25,200 (top table) and all 4000 labor hours are used (bottom table). Again, there are comments in selected cells. For example, the comments in cells I13 and J12 remind you that the input cells are D11 and B4. The comments in the body of each table report the Solver message, exactly as with one-way tables.
Figure 6
As with all Solver models, it is a good idea to take a close look at the answers and see whether they make sense. For example, in Figure 6 we see all zeros in column L. Does this make sense? Yes, it probably does. When the labor rate is $12 per hour and all other monetary inputs stay constant, labor is evidently too expensive for the company to make a profit. So it produces nothing!
Figure 7
We can now do a one-way sensitivity analysis on this change factor, using the settings in Figure 8. The corresponding table appears in Figure 9.
Figure 8
Figure 9
As another example, suppose you want to keep track of a function of several cells in the model. For example, suppose you want to keep track of the maximum number of frames of any single type produced, that is, the maximum of the changing cell values. You can't select this as an output directly because it doesn't appear anywhere in the model. But the solution is simple: Create a formula for it in some unused cell, and then specify this cell as an output cell.
SolverTable automatically checks for this error message. If Solver gives it, then SolverTable reruns Solver (for this problem) with the Assume Linear Model box unchecked and reports the result. However, to let you know that all of this happened, the corresponding cells of the table are colored yellow, and the comments in these cells describe the problem. An example we encountered appears in Figure 10. This model is indeed linear. However, when we formed the one-way table, Solver thought the model was not linear for input values of 0.80 and 1.00, even though it agreed that it was linear for input values of 0.90 and 1.10. Similarly, for the two-way table, it thought the model was not linear for 2 of the 16 input combinations. This is clearly strange behavior, but it happens fairly frequently. At least, SolverTable provides a solution (using a nonlinear algorithm) rather than the annoying "conditions for linear model are not satisfied" Solver message.

Jenny joined our Integrated Study Abroad programme on BA Film for the Autumn term. Jenny studies at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the US. We asked Jenny for her thoughts on the programme.
Meet Jenny Ramirez, a student at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, United States. Jenny studied abroad on our BA Film programme at London College of Communication.
The course strengthened my skills as a script writer and collaborator... I returned with a compiled script portfolio and potential short film!
What courses did you study on and why?
During my semester at UAL, I studied under the BA (Hons) Film and Television Year II course track. As a New Media major at my original university, I was excited to delve into time based film and script work!
What did you enjoy most about your course?
Academically, I really enjoyed the central focus on scripts and media cultures that we studied as a unit. Having the entire course go through the exact time schedules also allowed me to really integrate and find comfortability within my peers.
How has this course benefitted your career and personal development?
Through these experiences, I was able to grasp a richer understanding and practice of screenplays and the way writers collaborate in film practice.
Why did you choose London?
I chose London not only because of it's great art culture, but because of UAL's great faculty and resources.
What would you say to someone thinking about studying abroad at UAL?
If someone was considering to study abroad, I would highly recommend the University of Arts London. The university has such a strong unity and focus on the arts that I have never experienced before! From the professors to the peers, the people at UAL never fail to welcome you.
Tell us about what you created while you were here?
While at UAL, I studied two different units: Scripts and Media Culture. The course strengthened my skills as a script writer and collaborator as we wrote and produced multiple short narratives. Apart from this, Media Cultures brought lecture based screenings of varying films that helped bring context to film history and ideologies. As I ended my term there last Fall 2019, I returned with a compiled script portfolio and potential short film!
What 3 words best describe your experience?
Diverse. Cultural. Eye-opening.
Thank you to all the faculty, staff, and study abroad team that really put efforts in integrating the new students to the University!

OPP say the body of a reported missing ice fisherman was recovered on Sunday from a lake northeast of Peterborough.
The Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Township firefighters recovered the body of Brian Tilbury, 47, of Kitchener, from the Crowe River Bay area of Belmont Lake on Sunday around 3:30 p.m. The area is about 40 kilometres north east of Peterborough.
Peterborough County OPP say Tilbury was last seen ice fishing on Belmont Lake in the Miles of Memories Road area on Saturday between the hours of 3:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. He was reportedly driving a green ATV and not wearing a helmet.
An OPP helicopter found Tilbury's body on Sunday.It will be transported to the Provincial Forensic Pathology Unit at the Forensic Services and Coroners Complex in Toronto for a post-mortem examination.
The case remains under investigation.OPP are advising people who use snowmobiles and ATVs to avoid driving on lakes and rivers. Drivers who must go on the ice should always check ice conditions beforehand, wear a floater suit, carry ice picks and make sure those ice picks are easily accessible, police say.

Former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja believes that batsman Sharjeel Khan should never be allowed to play for the national team again.
Ramiz's comments come after there has been speculation that Sharjeel could play for Pakistan again after his five-year ban concludes.
Sharjeel and Khalid Latif were given five-year bans for their involvement in a spot-fixing scandal during the 2017 edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL).
However, Sharjeel will be allowed to return this month as two-and-a-half years of his ban was suspended.
However, Ramiz reiterated that he doesn't want to see Sharjeel playing international cricket for Pakistan ever again.
"I am really disappointed because have we not found any batsmen in the past two, three years, [and] we are bound to approach such characters [Sharjeel Khan] that tainted Pakistan cricket," Ramiz was quoted as saying by the Business Recorder.
"How can society tolerate such a debate? These men don't even learn from their mistakes and there is a trail of such absurdities giving a bad name to Pakistan. We should have zero tolerance on these things, and we [will] get the talent. In a year or so, our opening [pair] that is already doing well [will] get better."

To date, existing studies that use multilayer networks, in their multiplex form, to analyse the structure of financial systems, have (i) considered the structure as a non-interconnected multiplex network, (ii) no mechanism of multichannel contagion has been modelled and empirically evaluated and (iii) no multichannel stabilisation strategies for pre-emptive contagion containment have been designed. This paper formulates an interconnected multiplex structure, and a contagion mechanism among financial institutions due to bilateral exposures arising from institutions' activity within different interconnected markets that compose the overall financial market. We design minimum-cost stabilisation strategies that act simultaneously on different markets and their interconnections, in order to effectively contain potential contagion progressing through the overall structure. The empirical simulations confirm their capability for containing contagion. The potential for multichannel contagion through the multiplex contributes more to systemic fragility than single-channel contagion, however, multichannel stabilisation also contributes more to systemic resilience than single-channel stabilisation.

Andy Reid enters his ninth season at the helm of the Chiefs in 2021. He was hired as the club's 13th head coach in franchise history on January 7, 2013. Entering his 22nd season as an NFL head coach, Reid adds Super Bowl champion to his resume after he led his squad to a 31-20 come-from-behind win in Super Bowl LIV. He owns a 207-128-1 regular-season record and adds a 15-14 postseason record, giving him 222 total wins, which rank sixth in NFL history and just second among active head coaches, trailing only New England Head Coach Bill Belichick. Reid joined the Chiefs after 14 seasons as Head Coach/Executive Vice President of Football Operations of the Philadelphia Eagles where he compiled a 130-93-1 (.583) regular-season record. Including his years as an assistant coach, Reid's teams have made the playoffs 21 times (24-18 record), and he has coached in four Super Bowls and 10 Championship Games (8 NFC, 2 AFC). He owns three NFL Coach of the Year titles.

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) has come out with five recommendations. The telecom body is pushing to create a 'Unified Numbering Plan' so that adequate numbering resources can be maintained for the fixed line (landline) and mobile services in the country. This will change the method of existing phone numbers to be dialled in with a '0' in the front from a fixed-line. Recommendations from Trai are inspired by the inputs which were given by the various stakeholders during the discussions held during Open House Discussion (OHD) conducted in January. The key recommendations from the Trai are shifting the current 10 digit mobile numbers to 11 digits and adding a '0' as prefix whenever making called with fixed lines. Along with this, the new numbers which are going to come out in the future might start with different digits.
'0' as Prefix to be Mandated for Landline Calls
Very soon you might see the rule for adding '0' as a prefix before dialling in phone numbers from a fixed-line to make a call. Right now, you can make calls using landlines without adding in '0' at the start of the number, but if the new recommendations were to come in place, this would be changed. At present, you dial '0' before dialling in the phone number when you are making an inter-service call. But after the new rules, you will be adding '0' before the phone numbers even when making calls in the service area. But for calls which are made from landline to landline, mobile to mobile, or mobile to landline won't change anyway in nature.
Mobile Numbers to Shift From 10 Digits to 11 Digits
It is the second biggest recommendation that Trai has laid out. The current mobile numbers which are 10 digits in number might change to 11 digits. If you are thinking about what that first digit would be, don't think too much, it is '9'. What will this do though? Why would Trai want to change an existing system which is very simple and accepted by everyone suddenly? It is because after the change, it will give a total capacity of 10 billion numbers to be utilised.
Your Mobile Numbers Allotted with Dongles to Change as Well
At present, the 10 digit numbers allotted to you with the internet dongles are suggested to be changed as well. The suggested number for change is 13 digits. Many dongles and data cards are used by people with 10 digit numbers. Trai has suggested that all such devices should carry a 13 digit numbering scheme. This will also benefit in releasing some of the numbers for the telecom industry.
Landline Numbers to be Changed to a New Sub-level
Trai has recommended that numbers for the landline be moved to sub-level '2' and '4'. Currently, there are many landline numbers which were offered to users with a sub-level of '3', '5', and '6', and are not functional. These are under-utilised resources for the telecom industry. When the change is made, it will become easier for the telecom operators to use the under-utilised numbers for mobile phone connections.
Fixed Lines to Come with '0' Dialling Facility
Trai has suggested that fixed lines should be provided by the telecom operators with the '0' dialling facility. At present, the '0' dialling facility is only provided to the customers who have opted for the subscriber trunk dialling (STD) calls. But this should be changed and made available for every landline user to support the changes made by Trai suggesting that calls to mobile numbers be dialled with a '0' as a prefix to the mobile number from landlines.

Road Trip to Sharjah, United Arab Emirates
Last Friday was another road trip for both my travel buddy Lew and I. We went to Sharjah. We have not planned it, it was a spur of the moment since it was the weekend and nothing else important to do. The drive was about 50 km long by taking Road E11 and it took us about an hour to reach our first and only stop in Sharjah, Central Souq. It was 4:30 in the afternoon so there was not much time to roam around Sharjah and see other attractions. But aside from Central Souq, we were able to see the Fish Market (for both whole saler and retailer side), Fruit and Vegetable Market and the Khalid Lagoon.
Here are some of the places we've seen during that road trip.
Central Souq (or Blue Souq or Souq Al Markazi)
Central Souq (Souq means Market in English) occupies two structures designed and built in an appealing Arabic style and its located near the Khalid Lagoon and built in 1979 and the first mall in Sharjah. It is the main shopping hub for Sharjah residents who buy their daily needs at the 600 shops, spread over two wings. The ground floor has mostly modern jewelries and watches (Damas Jewelry I think has 3 or 4 shops in that Souq) while the little stores upstairs sell Pashminas, Persian Carpets and items from other countries such as Afghanistan. The outside walls of the market are fitted with blue tiles, giving it its popular name as 'Blue Souq'.
Opening Hours:
Saturday to Thursday: 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, 4:00 pm to 11:00 pm
Fri 9:00 am to noon, 4:00 pm to 11:00 pm
Central Souq Photos:
Fish Market
The Fish Market wholesaler side was in chaos, buyers and the sellers haggling back and forth until the sale is done. I've seen different kind of fish such as Tuna, Groper (Lapu-Lapu in Tagalog) and crabs. The crabs were interesting, I'd like to call them Leper Crab because of it's authentic look where the shell have bumps all over. Interesting.
Fish Market Video here.
Fruit and Vegetable Market
Here you'll cheap but fresh Fruits and vegetables. I suggest to buy from here if you belong to a large group of family or friends living in one roof. You can save a lot of money by purchasing boxes of veggies and fruits. But, if you live in Dubai and live with one friend or living alone, I suggest buy from a grocery near you and just purchase what you need.
Khalid Lagoon Park
After we've seen the Central Souq, we walked around Khalid Lagoon where a lot of families were having picnics. It's the best way to bond with your family and friends, share and eat home cooked meal while sitting on the grass during weekends.
Sharjah Dhow Restaurant
Along the dock of Khalid Lagoon near Marbella Resort, is Sharjah Dhow Restaurant. It's a fine dining restaurant where they offered Middle eastern cuisines and costs 160 AED for two people. We have not tried it but I've inquired with the person near the entrance.

From all appearances, DC's New 52 relaunch has been doing quite well. Sure, there are a few stinker titles (like 'Men of War' and 'OMAC') but the headliner titles have been selling like hot cakes. We previously announced that all 52 #1 issues had sold out and many had already had multiple printings.
Today, the official DC Source blog reported that 'Justice League' #1 is the first of the New 52 comics to go into a fifth print. The latest print of the landmark issue, from creators Geoff Johns and Jim Lee, will release on January 4, 2012. The new cover for the combo pack edition (seen to the left) features Aquaman, although he doesn't actually appear in the issue.
A fifth printing three months after the initial release is a bold move on the part of DC since one would think that fans would just wait for the inevitable trade paperback collection of the first story arc. But, if you're one of the readers that missed out on the first four prints, now is your chance! Mark your calendars for January 4th and get ready to join the 'Justice League' adventure!

Where did 2011 go? It seems hard to believe, but 2012 is just a few days away. That means a lot of people are making their New Year's resolutions right now. Here are a few ideas to keep in mind for the New Year to help you save money and use less energy. These are all fairly simple things you can do in your home that can save energy and save money.
Your San Antonio air conditioning and heating system is responsible for more than half of all the electricity you use. That's why air conditioner maintenance is so vital. One part of that is making sure you regularly change the air filter in your home. A dirty air filter clogs air flow and makes your AC system or heater work double time, which means it's costing you more money. Here are a couple rules of thumb about air filters. During December, January and February (the peak winter months), change your filter each month. During May, June, July and August (the peak summer months), change your filter each month. During the other months, get into the habit of checking your filter each month to see if it's dirty. If it is, change it. If not, change your filter every 60 days during those non-peak months. And if you have pets or allergies really bother you, change your filter every couple of weeks.
When you leave a room, do you remember to turn off the lights? It's a simple thing, but it's amazing how often we all forget to do that. Leaving on lights in unoccupied rooms is a drain on your wallet – and is the quintessential example of wasting energy.
Speaking of lights, switching to CFL bulbs is a great way to save energy. CFL bulbs use 75% less energy than traditional light bulbs. They do cost a bit more than incandescent bulbs, but one, single CFL bulb saves you $30 on your electricity bill over its lifespan.
Finally, get an air duct evaluation. The average home loses about 30% of its cooled or heated air through faulty ductwork. That means you're spending money to keep your attic heated or cooled. Champion AC offers a free air duct evaluation to catch problems like improper design or layout, unsealed ducts and ducts that are the wrong size for your home. If you decide to make changes to your ductwork, CPS Energy offers rebates up to $2,500.

See for yourself in this video as palestinians in Gaza celebrate the double suicide attack in Dimona Monday by passing out flowers and candy, while giving praise to Allah.
As news of the attacks spread, drivers honked horns and passersby laughed with joy.
A Hamas spokesperson thanked Allah the attacks were successful, calling the bombings a 'glorious act.' Islamic Jihad took the same approach. It predicted that this year would be the year of bombings.
"In the name of Allah, may all of the attacks be like this. That will exterminate [the Israelis]. It will be easier for us. We will reach the South, Tel-Aviv and the heart of Israel ," an unidentified man in Gaza said.
Israel responded to the suicide bombings by blowing up the car of the Popular Resistance Committee's leader, Abu Said Qarmout.
The attack killed Qarmount, and injured two members of the group who were riding with him.
The P.R.C. has been behind a good portion of the rockets fired into southern Israel from Gaza .
Some, including Minister Silvan Shalom, believe terrorists from Gaza were behind the Dimona attack.

On Being Alone
There are a lot of truths about me that I am fine with being alone is one of them. I hope those who read this add their own.
1. I am fine with being alone. I like it, need it, cringe without it. Many don't understand that I don't need someone there with me on a daily, weekly, or even monthly basis. I particularly don't need a boyfriend or girlfriend to validate me.
2. I get more accomplished when there is no one around.
3. I like to eat alone because I can read or simply enjoy the food without having to make conversation.
4. I like to go to movies alone. I can hog the drink and popcorn. I can enjoy the movie without someone judging me for what I am watching or what I think about it.
5. I don't care if people see me alone. I really don't care what they think. When they try to keep me company because I am alone and must need it it just keeps me from enjoying the activity I am doing.
6. I don't think a woman alone has a problem, no friends, or is lonely.
7. Please don't touch me. I don't like it when you do. It is not that I am inhuman I just don't want your hand on me. I don't feel an obligation to put my hand on you. I don't want to be hugged or comforted I might be alone but I am not lonely.
8. If it looks like I am doing something I probably am, leave me alone. This is a big one for people who interrupt my reading, eating, or working time.
9. I am not lonely. Alone does not equal lonely please don't assume it does.
10. I am not in the market for a husband, boyfriend, partner, or lover. I do not need someone to complete me I am complete all on my own.
These are all things about me that people have mentioned or done. Some of them drive me crazy (like I am not there already). Society tries to dictate what I should feel when I am not with someone and it makes me cringe because it is just not me. Just because I happen to be alone it does not make me lonely.
Random bits of writing
Pulling into a nearby truck stop he looked around with eyes that were not exactly his and not exactly sane. Finding a one at the truck stop wasn't difficult, since he got back he could feel them. It was almost like it was a part of him. Right now the pull was so strong he barely could conceal his need.
"Can I help you with something?" He asked the blond standing just inside the door. The blond was just passably pretty.
"Sure sugar," It replied with a smile.
"Wouldn't you rather have something else?" Jared grinned, this was way too easy.
"What did you have in mind sugar," she dropped her voice into an almost sexy southern drawl.
Jared grinned a lopsided grin that he knew was irresistible before grabbing her hand and leading her towards the bathrooms at the back of the bar. Too easy, he thought, Way too easy." She allowed him to lead her undoubtedly thinking of him as her next victim.
They entered the truck stops only bathroom. The smells struck Jared immediately, piss and various other substances he didn't want to know about assailed him. Without preamble he pushed her up against the wall his hands pushing her skirt up around her waist. He reached for the knife at his back and grinned at her wickedly.
"A bad boy huh?" she smiled at him still not understanding. He slid the knife under her panties slicing them cleanly from her body. He didn't really want her. He wanted someone he could never have. The blond ground against him as her panties fell to the floor. He shivered thoughts of Morgan shimmering through his mind making him rock hard. He unzipped his jeans with his free hand and hoisted her up against the wall. He entered her quickly, roughly. She just laughed taking his length into her. Jared began to rock against her their bodies making a wet sound along with the thud of her hips against the wall he held her too. He grinned as she rode him squealing at the sensation. His other hand came up the knife still gleaming wickedly. He put it against her throat so it bit into her flesh with each thrust of his body into hers.
"Like it rough?" she asked not realizing that the knife was cutting into her with each movement until she felt the cold length of it pressing into her throat. Jared continued to pound into her his eyes clouding over with bloodlust as he watched the dark red liquid slide down her neck staining her white blouse. He leaned forward to lap at the wound. There was something darkly erotic about sucking the blood from the slit he'd made. The knife dropped and clattered to the floor as he leaned in tasting her, his teeth making marks as he sucked at the wound widening it. The blond began to feel his blunt teeth she tried desperately to move his head away from the wound. He continued to move inside her warmth spreading through his body as he lapped greedily at the blood not caring that he was now tearing into her neck.
His arm came up his hand wrapping around her throat and squeezing as she began to make pained noises. He dug his teeth into her shoulder trying to find purchase on her blood slicked skin. His hand tightened into a punishing grip, the blond gasped and tried to pull away as he pounded into her his teeth finally breaking the skin on her shoulder.
"You!" she whispered through his constricting grip. He leaned back for a moment never losing rhythm as he fucked her.
"Yes, me." He stated simply pausing for only a moment to watch her terror filled eyes. So nice, the wicked thing that was the voice in his head whispered More, it pleaded and he was all too happy to comply as the power rushed through him. He began to concentrate on his movements as he slammed into her cracking the mirror behind her head. She went limp as he came inside her, the blood coursing through him as he pulled the life from her body. He stopped moving pulling out of her and watched as the light slowly left her eyes.
He dropped her body on the ground tucking himself back into his jeans and buttoning them up. The power coursed through his body. He looked down at the girl before him, a girl he could have saved but for the amount of blood he took from her. She lay bleeding still the breath long since gone, the life gradually leaving her.
Jared sighed softly instantly regretting what he'd done to the girl. He moved over to the sink and stared at himself in the cracked and faded mirror. Blood covered the lower half of his face. He rinsed it off and picked up the knife. Just do it, the dark voice whispered, Do it and you will never have to go through this again. He unfastened the leather band that he wore around his wrist. He growled softly pain lancing through him as he sliced the top of his arm creating a perfect bleeding line deep but not deep enough to need stitching. Thankfully Morgan kept the knives sharp. This cut would join the other striped scars on his wrist some new others long since scarred over. He snapped the leather back over the bleeding wrist and watched it as it turned darker blood seeping from around it. He cleaned himself up checking his shirt for telltale signs of what he'd just done. He picked the girl up and put her into one of the stalls where she wouldn't be found for a while. He closed his eyes for a moment, "I'm sorry," he whispered not knowing to whom.
Not OK
He said he would love me but was scared of the 1% of the time I was crazy. So he doesnt want me. Why does that bother me? Because I don't want me. No one does.
Obsecro, mihi facultas videndi Deum angelis et demonibus – da mihi aliter vive – contra – O facultatem ad me, et audite obsecro ut interficias me, et pugnate pro eis vel.
Dieu s'il vous plaît me donner la possibilité de voir vos anges et les démons – me montrer une autre façon de vivre – lutter – s'il vous plaît m'aider et me donner la possibilité de voir et entendre les aider ou s'il vous plaît me tuer.
Gott gib mir bitte die Möglichkeit, Ihren Engel und Teufel zu sehen – zeigen Sie mir eine andere Art zu leben – zu kämpfen – bitte helfen Sie mir und geben mir die Fähigkeit zu hören und ihnen helfen, oder bitte töte mich zu sehen.
Ο Θεός παρακαλώ να μου δώσετε τη δυνατότητα να βλέπουν αγγέλους και διαβόλους σας – δείξτε μου έναν διαφορετικό τρόπο για να ζήσουν – για την καταπολέμηση της – παρακαλώ να με βοηθήσει και να μου δώσει τη δυνατότητα να δει ακούσει και να τους βοηθήσει ή μπορείτε να με σκοτώσει.
الله من فضلك أعطني القدرة على رؤية الملائكة والشياطين الخاص – تبين لي طريقة مختلفة للعيش – لمحاربة – الرجاء مساعدتي وتعطيني القدرة على رؤية نسمع ومساعدتهم أو يرجى قتلي.
يرجى قتلي.
मुझे मार दें.
obsecro ut interficias me.
What I want
I offer to let you use me in any way that you want – no request is too strange or unusual. I would love for you to do to me what pops into that wonderfully wicked brain of yours.
Ever wonder why… every wonder what I want in return. As it turns out not a whole lot. I just want to tie you down and find out what makes you scream in pleasure… and if I can't have that pain… but what I truly want is to find where the two meet for you, where they become one inside of you. I want to shatter you into millions of kaleidoscope pieces where the jagged pieces of you slice into my flesh embedding themselves into my flesh so that I can carry a piece of you with me all the time. I want to crack your chest open and crawl inside to curl around your heart, so I can listen to your heart beat from the inside and feel its deadly rhythm beating all around me.
Today the wind slides across the black sand as I have decided to stay inside my cage for a while longer. I can see it blow tiny puffs of dust across the stark plain. In the distance A plumb of dust floats toward the swirling sky as if something is coming. I wonder vaguely what it could be before shaking my head and allowing it to hang down once again.
I take my finger and draw the symbols I once knew and once cared about. They seem strange to me I stare at them and try to make sense of what they should mean. Just as love once meant something, as did life, and hope. I wonder how I got this far, how I could bury myself so far inside. Yet to be glad that I did it it doesn't hurt so much in my self made prison, I don't feel as much the only thing that still stays with me is the knowledge that as soon as I am no longer needed I will no longer live. I will seek out death and make its acquaintance perhaps we will be friends when it is all over with.
Why do you do this to me?
The cold stings my knuckles as I quietly tap on the door knowing that you will hear it. I admonish myself yet again for not using my palm, knowing the bone on would tapping wood only cause pain. Footsteps echo in my head as I hear you approach the door and turn the handle. You know it is me, you knew I was coming the polite call that I placed first is always a warning.
I often wonder how you deal with the thoughts that float through the air between us. I can't read you like I read everyone else and this is a good thing because despite the reason I am here I really don't want to know. The door opens in a rush of warmth, you must have the heat on or maybe it is just my body reacting to the cat like grace you use to step aside to let me in. I move forward slowly, cautiously, still afraid you will spook like the wild thing that you are. Walking past you making sure that no part of you touches me because the tiniest touch will have me undone. Sitting down on the worn sofa my hand automatically reaches out to pet the feline that stretches lazily on the armrest. Touching the feline is almost as natural a gesture as it was to touch you. Soon the others are there curling around my legs asking quietly for the attention that they know instinctively that I will give them because they are as much a part of you as anything else in the room.
I watch you for a moment as you move through the house only glancing up to meet your soft brown eyes with their almost girlish lashes for a moment as you set the usual choice of beverage down next to me. Not a word is spoken, even though your voice would send a shockwave up my spine. You move to the chair that normally sits near your desk. Your eyes flitting over what covers the wall before resting on me for a brief moment and then on the television that plays an inane drama that neither of us is interested in. After a moment of indecision you move closer to me making me wonder if you know how dangerous you are to me. How addictive you are.
I am almost sure that you do. You use it well to control me without making it seem like that is what you are doing. I watch you out of the corner of my eye, my hand still moving restlessly over the cat soft fur sliding through my fingers. You speak softly telling me about the things that you do and those that you wish that you were doing. I listen more to the timber of your voice than the actual words. One of these days you will catch me listening to you rather than what you are saying, trying to understand why the voices quiet and the glass doesn't seem as sharp when I am this close to you. I am tempted to reach out and touch you but am afraid that you will dissolve into darkness
Inviting the Darkness In
People say that you should not take LSD or hallucinogens because they bring up all of the dark and nasty thoughts that are in your subconscious. When I was younger I tried LSD several times and liked it. I am a dark
sort of person and therefore write and read dark sort of things. I like poking at the thing that resides in the blackest portion of everyone's
brain and seeing what comes out. It's fun. If you don't want to know what is lurking in at least one person's mind don't read what I write. There is a dark corner in all of us I just dragged mine into the light introduced myself and asked it if it wanted me to get to know it a little bit more over say afternoon tea. That was a long time ago and now that dark corner and I are very good fr
iends. Some people run from darkness others embrace it and I was never one for running
The Monster Inside Me
The monster inside me growls twisting its body right behind my eyes. I can feel it slither turning circles. Its body sliding sharp scales against my brain leaving lacerations that not even I can understand the implications of. I hear its rumbling breath, the gravelly whoosh that a large reptile at rest makes. It is much better when it is sleeping. I don't have to feel it move restlessly like it is now. It wants something although it will not tell me what and I can't fathom what it could possibly be. Sometimes it talks in low growling voice sounding much like the rumble of an earthquake sending vibrations through me. At times these vibrations are pleasant and at others horrific. At times it makes my entire body quake with the force of it. It echoes in my head painfully when it wants something as it is doing tonight.
If it would just tell me what it needs at this point I would gladly give it over without hesitation just to make it quiet again. The bladed tail swishes back and forth drowning the other voices, the quieter voices. The ones that tell me in their strange double way of speaking what I should do. These are the voices that make want to slice into my skin to let them out. There used to be only one crying in the distance but now there is a cacophony of speech sometimes drowned out by the dragon curled behind my eyelids. I can almost see him when I close my eyes. He is getting stronger and the rational voices are getting weaker. His frightening visage scares others when he peeks through my eyes. Others see something in me that scares them when he looks directly at them.
Ut alii do vita et sanabitur anima mea. Omnibus Angelis sanctis, et daemones praeesse dolor sit moriar et alius potest salvari. In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti.
Just Don't
There are so many things that are so wrong. Broken promises, shattered dreams, things laid bare until all there is, is a fractured mind and fragmented soul. How is it that it is that easy for you to break a promise? How is it that easy for you to forget what was done and what was asked of you, what you offered? It wouldn't matter but you offered and then decided that it wasn't worth keeping the promise. Then you ask why I am upset and you say that you love me. Does love feel like this? I have done everything you have ever asked of me and you haven't done anything that you offered to do for me. It is rapidly coming undone, unraveling like an old sweater worn to long, and all you have to say is why?

Injectables Waterloo
Basic Points about Injectables in Waterloo
Looking for ways to improve the volume and look of your face can be a daunting task especially if you're just beginning to consider this option. Injectables are perfect for targeting the aging signs that begin underneath your skin. As you get older the fat deposits in your face begin to decrease which makes your face look worn and tired. By creating a plan of action for injectables you can recover your youthful appearance which makes you look and feel good about yourself. It's important to set realistic goals which include not trying to get rid of every wrinkle that you see. You want a healthy appearance that is graceful and natural-looking. Review some of the basic points below so that you can be an educated and happy consumer.
• The most important aspect of getting injectables for a renewed appearance is to partner with a trained and certified professional who has experience with using injectables for cosmetic procedures. Use referrals from friends and colleagues and interview a couple of professionals before you decide which one will do your treatment.
• What formulations are in the injectables that will be used for your treatment? Fillers are designed to restore volume, enhance the shape of your face, and to alleviate wrinkles that detract from your appearance. Do your homework and research as many types of fillers so that together with your professional clinician you can choose the right one that takes care of your aging concerns.
• Know the risks that accompany your treatment of injectables in Waterloo. Your treatment will probably take less than thirty minutes and will allow you to resume our activities immediately. You may notice some itching, bruising, swelling, or redness but these symptoms will dissipate rather quickly. Some of the fillers have an anesthetic mixed in with them so that pain can be minimized. Inquire about any special skin care program that you need to follow; you've made an investment in your appearance and you should do everything to protect your results.
• You should cover the basic steps of knowing how much your treatment will cost, how long it will last, when you will be required to pay, and the payment method that your professional prefers. Ask what you'll be getting for your money so that you can prevent any and all confusion once your appointment has been scheduled.
• Share all medical information with your clinician so that they will be aware of what medications you are taking both prescription and over-the-counter. This will help them decide when and where to make injections and how to proceed with your treatment plan.
• You should also ask what methods of pain relief will be administered during the procedure and what you should do to alleviate pain once your treatment has concluded. Always try natural methods of pain relief such as ice packs first and then use aspirin if needed. Your professional will advise you about how to best relieve your discomfort should you have any.
