Are you an animal lover with an adventurous spark? Do you want to spend time in a beautiful tropical destination while helping displaced, injured, or victimized wildlife as a wildlife volunteer in Costa Rica? Are you also searching for an affordable and safe way to travel to Costa Rica?
The wildlife and macaw sanctuary where this amazing Costa Rica wildlife refuge volunteer program takes place was created in 1994 by Mainor Khayyan and Rodolfo Orozco, two native Costa Ricans with an affinity for animals, especially wild parrots. Costa Rica is home to both the chromatic Scarlet Macaw and the Great Green Macaw, as well as several other species of wild parrots.Get More Info Now
The sanctuary was founded as a result of the constant threat that was noticed to the macaws, as well as many other species of wildlife in Costa Rica due to habitat destruction, the illegal pet trade, and other devastating human influences. Volunteering at the wildlife sanctuary in Costa Rica is an incredible opportunity where you will have the chance to work up close and personally with a variety of amazing exotic animals. Your dedication to this inspiring wildlife volunteer project in Costa Rica will truly make a difference in the lives of all the animals that now call the sanctuary home.
There are many animals in the sanctuary that will never be able to return to the wild because of the physical and psychological turmoil that they have faced. However, some animals recover fully and are only temporary residents. Whatever the case may be, there is always a great need for compassionate animal lovers to join this exciting hands-on wildlife volunteer program in Costa Rica.
There are six different wildlife volunteer opportunities in Costa Rica at the wildlife and macaw sanctuary. These wildlife volunteer projects in Costa Rica are ongoing and are open to volunteers who want to help the resident animals who have ended up there for one reason or another. It is possible to volunteer within multiple projects.
Macaw Conservation Project
Through rescue, rehabilitation, and breeding efforts, the sanctuary is working tirelessly to help protect and reintroduce healthy populations of macaws back into the wild. On top of working directly with the macaws, the project facilitates reforestation, environmental education, and ecotourism programs. Wildlife conservation has many layers and by joining this wildlife volunteer project in Costa Rica, you will be helping to make sure that all of these layers are operating to their fullest potential.
Displaced and Distressed Wildlife Protection Project
For the past fifteen years, this sanctuary has been offering a safe and nurturing place for ocelots, jaguars, tapirs, and other native Costa Rican creatures. The sanctuary is harmoniously placed on a 15-acre remote piece of private property. When you take part in these wildlife volunteer activities in Costa Rica, you will be helping to care for these helpless animals and give them the best possible chance of returning to the wild or living out their days in peace and happiness at the sanctuary.Get More Info Now
Ecological Restoration Project
The sanctuary has also been working since 2000 to plant and grow a protected forested area for the resident animals and native animals of the surrounding area. The trees that have been planted have provided a safe habitat for hundreds of macaws, parrots and other birds, sloths, iguanas, and monkeys, among other animals. The restoration and maintenance of this exclusive forest is an ongoing effort and wildlife volunteers in Costa Rica are constantly needed to help.
Wildlife Rescue Project
The wildlife sanctuary takes in confiscated animals from the System of National Areas of Conservation (SINAC), the national police and fire departments, and from local civilians. The influx of animals to the sanctuary is very steady. Some animals have been orphaned, injured, displaced from their natural habitat, or were once an illegal pet. The care that these animals need expands across a broad spectrum. When you work with this wildlife volunteer program in Costa Rica, you will be involved in all different activities and tasks to help these wonderful creatures.
The wildlife sanctuary currently has a designated area for keeping rescued animals, a neonatal care center, a veterinary clinic, a quarantine zone, a food preparation area, a residential area, and a large bird enclosure. As a wildlife volunteer in Costa Rica, there are so many different areas that you can volunteer your time and energy to.
Eco Tourism Project
Another amazing part of this wildlife sanctuary in Costa Rica is the ecotourism experience that they have developed. This is a grand effort to educate visitors about the native species of Costa Rica and the troubles that they are facing, as well as to share the conservation, rescue, rehabilitation, release, and reforestation activities that are taking place every day at the sanctuary. Visitors will spend their time with an experienced guide who will take them through the sanctuary and share with them a wealth of fascinating information.
Reforestation Project
Jabillo, guayacan, surá, and jobo trees are native to Costa Rica and have been planted on the protected sanctuary land to provide a safe haven for monkeys, birds, deer, and other rescued animals that are unable to be released into the wild. The aim of this specific project is to recreate the natural habitat of the animals who have been displaced from theirs.
When you join this wildlife volunteer program in Costa Rica, you will have a multitude of responsibilities. While this Costa Rica wildlife refuge volunteer program is very hands-on, that doesn't mean you will be loving on and interacting with the animals like they are your pet. Remember, one of the goals of this sanctuary is to try and return as many animals as possible back to the wild.
This unique wildlife volunteer opportunity in Costa Rica is a chance to positively impact the lives of rescued wild animals and help the sanctuary perform its necessary duties and operations while also experiencing a new country, new culture, and new language. Your specific roles will depend on the specific needs of the sanctuary at the time of your volunteer period, as well as your personal interests and volunteer goals.
Your responsibilities can include things like feeding the animals, cleaning the enclosures, helping with animal emergencies, participating in the rehabilitation of the animals, planting trees and plants, assisting with eco tours, lending a hand with construction projects, and tending to agricultural productions.
Accommodations at the Costa Rica Wildlife Sanctuary Volunteer Project
As a wildlife volunteer in Costa Rica, you will stay in a designated volunteer house that has bunk beds. You will have your own bed and personal space within the house. The house does not have air conditioning but does have a fan to ensure your comfort.

The Sanctuary Rules
The wildlife sanctuary has a strictly enforced set of rules that all volunteers must adhere to. Failure to honor the rules could result in expulsion from the wildlife volunteer program in Costa Rica.Get More Info Now
The following rules are directly from the wildlife sanctuary:
How to travel to the wildlife volunteer project in Costa Rica
The most cost-effective way to get to the sanctuary after you arrive in Costa Rica is to take the public bus from the town of Puntarenas to the sanctuary. The buses run every day except on Sundays. The bus leaves from Puntarenas at 11:30 and will get you to Aranjuez, where the sanctuary is located around 1:00. On the reverse side, the bus leaves from in front of the sanctuary at 6am to go back to Puntarenas. This bus ride costs approximately 1,000 colones or $2.
A taxi service can be arranged from Puntarenas to the sanctuary, as well, but at a cost of around $35. A taxi from the Juan Santamaria International Airport to the sanctuary cost around $80.

Last Wednesday, gay rights activists throughout Florida held their breaths and waited for catastrophe. It never came. The state Senate was debating amendments to a new adoption bill that would, among other things, provide incentives for Floridians to adopt special needs children and formally repeal the state's ban on adoptions by same-sex couples. Sen. Kelli Stargel, displeased with the bill's pro-equality provisions, proposed an alarming "conscience clause" amendment that would permit even state-funded adoption agencies to turn away couples on account of their religious or moral convictions. The LGBTQ community expected the amendment to pass—until Republican Sen. Don Gaetz stood up to protest the measure, declaring:
I don't think it would be right for this Senate to take the position that we believe—as some believed in 1977—that there was something wrong with a child having a chance at a loving home even if the people in that loving home didn't have the traditional family values that we have. It wasn't too many years ago that interracial adoptions were illegal and frowned on and immoral. … We don't need to turn the social clock in this state back to 1977 [when the gay adoption ban was passed].
Gaetz then called Florida's anti-gay adoption law a "sleeping, comatose dead dog" and an "archaic, dusty, dead law." The amendment, seemingly fast-tracked for success, was then overwhelmingly rejected on a voice vote. I spoke to Gaetz on Monday about his stand for equality.
Why did you oppose the "conscience clause" amendment?
The amendment would have allowed faith-based adoption agencies to not perform or facilitate adoptions that offended their religious or moral beliefs. So it wasn't just gay adoptions. It wasn't too long ago that interracial adoptions were deemed to be morally offensive to some groups. So the problem is that this amendment didn't just create an opportunity to discriminate against gay adoptions. It would create an opportunity to discriminate against any adoptions that a faith-based group thought would be offensive to their moral or religious beliefs. That's a big, wide slippery slope.
Do you support adoption by same-sex couples?
As I've looked at the history of this issue in Florida, gay adoptions go on every day. They go on every day in the public adoption environment and the private adoption environment. The Department of Children and Families has testified before trial courts that they knowingly place children in same-sex homes and that, contrary to the objections of some groups, there have been absolutely no indications that same-sex adoptions or same-sex foster care placements have had any negative effects on children.
My goal here is to get more children—and more special needs children—adopted. We have 852 adoptable children in the state's foster care system, most of which have been available for adoption for 12 months or more. There are thousands and thousands more children [in foster homes]. I don't want there to be any barriers to those children having loving, permanent homes.
Do you support same-sex marriage?
That's an issue I haven't really grappled with. Let me just say I am not a champion of gay rights. I am not somebody who has been associated with that issue. I'm not a person who has been involved in gay rights issues typically. But that issue was infused into the adoption debate—and my concern is finding adoptive homes for adoptable children.

Welcome to Ashlar Lodge No. 98's Website
Freemason Temple in Philadelphia
According to Wikipedia, the Masonic Temple is a historic Masonic building in Philadelphia. Located at 1 North Broad Street, directly across from Philadelphia City Hall, it serves as the headquarters of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, Free and Accepted Masons. The Temple features the Masonic Library and Museum of Pennsylvania, and receives thousands of visitors every year to view the ornate structure, which includes seven lodge rooms, where today a number of Philadelphia lodges and the Grand Lodge conduct their meetings.
The Temple was designed in the medieval Norman style by James H. Windrim, who was 27 years old at the time he won the design competition. The massive granite cornerstone, weighing ten tons, was leveled on St. John the Baptist's Day, June 24, 1868. The ceremonial gavel used on that day by Grand Master Richard Vaux was the same gavel used by President George Washington in leveling the cornerstone of the nation's Capitol building in 1793.
The construction was completed five years later, in 1873. The interior, designed by George Herzog, was begun in 1887 and took another fifteen years to finish.
The bold and elaborate elevations on Broad and Filbert Streets, especially the beautiful portico of Quincy granite, make it one of the great architectural wonders of Philadelphia. The exterior stone of the building on Broad and Filbert Streets is Cape Ann Syenite from Syne in Upper Egypt.
On May 27, 1971, the Temple was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[1] It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1985. It was cited in its landmark designation as one of the nation's most elaborate examples of Masonic architecture.
Ashlar Lodge No. 98 F&AM was chartered on January 18, 1887, however, Freemasonry has been in St. Augustine far longer than that. Read more here.
You may have heard that Freemasonry is an "invite only" organization. This is not true...
While we do have a petitioning process, we do not actively recruit members. You may have heard the saying:
As Freemasons, we prefer to have our members join because they are interested in becoming a Freemason as opposed to joining because they are being pressured to by other members.
If you are interested in becoming a Freemason or at least in knowing more, feel free to join us on a first of third Thursday of the month for dinner and get to know more about us.

Ron Wolfley, captain of the Phoenix Cardinals' special teams, is Rambo in shoulder pads—perhaps the toughest man you'll ever meet. On game day he drinks 18 cups of black coffee and listens to Pink Floyd songs like Comfortably Numb and Shine On You Crazy Diamond. What does he like most about football? "The butt-kicking and not having to shower to go to work," he says.
Sprinting downfield on kickoff coverage, Wolfley concentrates so hard on getting to the ballcarrier that he blocks out all sound. The anticipation of knocking somebody on his behind gives him an adrenaline surge. "I don't mind that I'm going to break blood vessels in my forehead when I hit somebody," Wolfley says. "I enjoy hearing guys wheeze and seeing the snot run down their faces. I like the rush of numbness that goes through my body. What I'm most curious about is that time-frozen second where I have no senses whatsoever.
"When I make a huge hit, I don't hear anything. I don't feel anything. I'm seeing stuff, but I won't be able to recall it. I seriously believe that the mind shuts down your body and your senses as a protection mechanism because, let's face it, you're doing something that's not really conducive to your health."
Wolfley, 28, stands six feet and weighs 230 pounds, wears an earring in his left ear and has his hair in a spiked buzzcut. He used to have his jersey number, 24, shaved into the side of his head and a rattail with a colored ribbon tied to the end hanging down the back of his neck. Wolfley, a four-time selection to the Pro Bowl, is a demolition derby on two legs.
He specializes in what he calls "kill shots"—lining up on a kickoff return, sprinting across the field at an angle perpendicular to the opponent he's assigned to block and coldcocking the unsuspecting soul. The force of these collisions has destroyed face masks, cracked helmets and demolished shoulder pads.
"Special-teamers are a different breed from the in-crowd in the NFL," Wolfley says. "We do the jobs nobody else wants. We're the mutants. You'll never see us on Wheaties boxes because, when we're on the field, half the fans are in the bathroom or getting a hot dog. The other half is watching the guy who's kicking the ball or the man who's returning it. Nobody sees the personal battles going on. Nobody knows who I am. Even my Aunt Edna still wonders what I'm doing."
Wolfley delivered his most devastating hit on Sept. 21, 1986, against the Buffalo Bills at Rich Stadium, when he blindsided linebacker Ray Bentley on a kickoff return. Bentley soared five yards in one direction, and Wolfley shot off five yards the other way. Bentley wound up with a separated right shoulder and double vision. Wolfley's face mask was ripped off his helmet, and he had a severe concussion. He staggered on the field for a few minutes until a teammate directed him to the sideline. His wife, Kathy, who was sitting in the stands, went down to check on his condition, but he didn't recognize her.
Later Wolfley started to rant about returning to the game and defied the team doctor's orders to stay on the bench. Twice he ran onto the field and lined up without his helmet but was quickly ushered off. Finally the Cardinals' coaches put defensive lineman Mark Duda in charge of restraining Wolfley on the sideline.
Despite the pain and anonymity, Wolfley is a special-teamer in body and soul. If he had his druthers, his name would be deleted from the Phoenix depth chart as a reserve fullback. In six seasons he has carried the ball 82 times, for 252 yards and two touchdowns.
"I get more of an adrenaline rush playing on special teams than I have ever gotten playing from scrimmage," Wolfley says. "It's a blast, a total body experience. If only they could dress up businessmen in helmets and tell them to sprint 50 yards and run into a 300-pound guy. They wouldn't have heart attacks or get stressed out. We wouldn't need Disneyland because this ride eclipses anything that you could ever go on. It's the ride of your life."
Off the field Wolfley has his rage in check; he displays no love of violence. He'll poke fun at his Rambo personality when introduced at fund-raisers in Phoenix, pulling a headband out of his suit jacket and slipping it on before speaking. At home he plays Mr. Mom to his three children, Ashley, 7, Connor, 5, and Jenna, one year. A man with strong Christian beliefs, he gains strength from daily prayers and reading the Bible. "I have no fear on the football field," Wolfley says. "Failing my children as a father, my wife as a husband and my God as a servant, that's what petrifies me."
In solitary moments, usually in his den late at night, Wolfley writes poetry about his special teams experiences. He calls it primitive poetry because the punctuation isn't perfect and the words aren't always spelled correctly. Here's a sample, entitled The Army of Sorrow:
Crack goes the whip, a shot in the hip
An intruder assaults my senses.
Boom goes my head, now comes the dread
This foe cares not as it dispenses.
This time my shoulder, hit by a boulder
This force that comes like a train.
It doesn't matter where, it's really unfair
It quickly lays siege to my brain.
I try to stride, there's nowhere to hide
This battle is fought in my spirit.
I try to adjust, play on I must
I have learned that I cannot fear it.
The jury is in, I think that I'll win
But the verdict I'll feel on the 'morrow.
Today I'm a knight, today I will fight
This siege by the Army of Sorrow.
Wolfley began writing poetry five years ago, when he was wrestling with his violent and gentle sides. While watching game films, he felt detached from the destructive force inside the number 24 jersey on the screen. He suffered three severe concussions in 1986, and he started to wonder if he took pleasure in injuring himself. He never intended his poems to be read by anybody but himself, not even Kathy, and for a long time she didn't know that he was writing them.
"I just needed my own personal analysis of my job," Wolfley says. "I needed to be able to say, 'O.K., this is what I do,' and then answer the questions, Why do I do that? How come I feel that way about it? At first I'd write them and rip them up. It was purely therapeutic. I didn't want to go to a shrink and pay him $200 to say, 'When did it all start with you, Ron?' I thought that was bogus."
It all started for Wolfley in the Buffalo suburb of Hamburg, four miles from Rich Stadium. He was the second-youngest of Ron and Esther Wolfley's five children. Ron Sr. was a short, barrel-chested truck driver, and Esther was a self-proclaimed football coaching genius. All three of her sons played football: Craig, 33, was an offensive lineman at Syracuse and now is a guard for the Minnesota Vikings; Ron was a fullback, known mostly for his blocking, at West Virginia before becoming Phoenix's fourth-round draft choice in 1985; and Dale, 24, was a guard at West Virginia who was not drafted by the NFL. Esther used to get down in an offensive lineman's stance to give the boys pointers. She and Ron Sr. struggled to make ends meet, and often there was barely enough food to feed their brood. Ron wore hand-me-down tennis shoes from Craig.
"My father would get up at four in the morning and go out in the dead of winter, in the freezing cold," Ron says. "He did it with a smile on his face, knowing his kids were tucked away in a warm bed with a roof over their heads. He was my idol—a tough, tough guy."
Football was Ron's escape from the hard times. "When you live on the wrong side of the tracks in a very nice town, you have to justify yourself in some way," he says. "I was good at football, so I worked at it. It made me feel proud and accepted."
In the fall of 1982, during Wolfley's sophomore season at West Virginia, Ron Sr. was dying of leukemia after a five-year battle. Instead of confronting his father's illness, Wolfley chose to ignore it. He would purposely stay out of the house at times during his visits to avoid having to see his parents suffer.
"My father lay there and couldn't move," Wolfley says. "He used to be 220 pounds, and now he was about 120. It freaked me out. My mom was suffering with him. I was filled with so much frustration and rage that I wanted to make other people feel the same way I did, put them in the same pain. The only outlet I had was football. I didn't care what I did to myself, because I knew that it couldn't compare to the pain that my father was going through. But I could make other people hurt."
Not until Wolfley began to write poetry did he realize his anger and frustration over his parents' suffering were the origin of his violent play on special teams. "I learned to play the physical game I do now under the strain of his dying," Wolfley says. "Now it's a switch that I can turn on and off. When I put on the helmet and the eye black, not a lot of me is left. The 19-year-old kid who was hurting inside takes over."
That realization helped Wolfley to accept his father's death and to reconcile his own contrasting personalities. Now when he watches himself in game films delivering one of those knockout hits he calls "a visit from Judge Dread," or sending an opponent skyrocketing on a "decleater," Wolfley winces a bit. But he still looks forward to reviewing that next time-frozen second.
"When you settle into the attack mode, you've got to figure out some way to survive," Wolfley says. "To walk out in one piece, you've got to be more angry or more aggressive than the next guy. The day I stop hitting is the day I'm out of football. For me, that's all there really is. And I love it."
In Phoenix, Wolfley gets the point of his "primitive poetry" across with pens and needles.
Judge Dread blocks out all sound before impact.

Designed specifically for Oceanco by Enrico Gobbi and Team for Design, Colosseum is an 86-metre reminiscent of its Roman namesake which, like it, is not merely famous for its towering height and dimensions but also the lightness of its architecture.
This too is reflected in the layout of the megayacht in the series of large picture windows connecting interior and exterior spaces.
Other such bright, airy choices include side balconies that open out at owner and VIP suite level, and vertical VIP and guest cabin windows that mimic the yacht's virtually-plumb bow.
The design feels almost automotive-inspired, a sector Gobbi often draws upon. Dimensions-wise, the raised pool aft is a massive 19 metres in length.
There's also a second pool on the sundeck along with a sun pad area, bar and panoramic front-facing lounge forward.

After growing up on a public library-fed diet of Western paperbacks, Sean Chandler was destined to write about cowboys when he first decided to tackle fiction five years ago.
There was only one problem: "I don't think people read Westerns anymore," the 36-year-old postal employee said. "It may be something I feel passionate about, but I'll go to a book fair or something and people will come up and say, 'Well, we really don't read Westerns.'"
Having interest in a terminally ill genre hasn't deterred Chandler from writing fact-based novels on the old frontier. Not only that, but he publishes them all himself. His third and latest is "Gospel of the Gun," which he will sign at 5:30 p.m. Friday at Full Circle Bookstore, 1900 Northwest Expressway.
A religious allegory wrapped inside an action-adventure, "Gospel of the Gun" marks the start of a new series starring Jeremiah Irons. Part of the Disciple Gang, he has two pistols always at the ready, one inscribed "Heaven" and other "Hell." Irons' travels begin in Tombstone, Ariz., and end closer to home in Wewoka.
The novel comes on the spurred heels of Chandler's debut, "Ebony Marshal," and its sequel, "Ebony Marshal: Bitter." All three feature black heroes and have been issued under Chandler's Branded Black Publishing imprint.
"I don't believe there's a lot of black Western novels," Chandler said. "That's part of the reason I starting writing. I had read some nonfiction books that discussed black deputy marshals (who) actually worked in Oklahoma in about 1872 to 1889, 1890. "¦ I had never heard that information before, and it just kinda fell in line with the stuff I wanted to write." "Rod Lott

UTEP CHS Goes Global - Public Health Professor Leads Effort to Expand Costa Rican Partnerships
Assistant Professor of Public Health Gabriel Ibarra-Mejia visited Costa Rican potential partner site Escuela de Tecnologias en Salud at the University of Costa Rica (UCR) this summer to discuss ways to enhance existing relationships with the UTEP College of Health Sciences. Dr. Mejia's work with the organization began one year ago when he visited the country as a participating faculty member in the MHIRT (Minority Health International Research Training) program.
While in Costa Rica, Dr. Ibarra-Mejia gave a training on health risk assessment for local researchers, lecturers, physicians, healthcare providers and students representing several majors in the school. The presentation covered topics including the toxicological basis for risk assessment; health, ergonomic, occupational, and quantitative microbial risk assessment; and how to apply probabilistic and non-probabilistic models for risk assessment.
Dr. Ibarra was also approached by the leadership of the UCR School of Medicine to discuss ways to enhance their existing partnership with the UTEP College of Health Sciences, including a potential faculty and student exchange. UCR will visit UTEP in the fall semester to mainly observe the Physical and Occupational Therapy program facilities at the Campbell Street building, as well as the Department of Kinesiology's Virtual Reality and Motor Control Research Lab, Stanley E. Fulton Biomechanics and Motor Behavior Lab, and Fitness Research Facility. In the near future, UCR will inaugurate a new building which will harbor similar laboratories for their own allied health science programs. They discussed modeling both set up and management of their laboratories based on what they learn during their trip to UTEP.

Pope: No Contradiction Between Faith and Works
In another nod to Protestant theology, Pope Benedict XVI has declared that there is no conflict between faith and works. He says that good works, performed in love, are a natural outgrowth of the faith we profess in Christ. Provided that faith in Christ is genuine, good works will manifest in the person who professes that faith.
In a previous nod to Protestant theology, the Pope acknowleged that we are saved by grace through faith plus NOTHING. That works are not necessary for salvation was a Protestant idea, condmened by Catholicism. Catholic lay apologists scoff at the idea, one referring to it as "Luther's convienent doctrine."
We have now seen the Pope tip his mitre to two formerly Protestant ideas. It will be interesting to see the spin that Catholic lay apologists put on this. These are two ideas that the lay apologists have previously scoffed at and ridiculed as heresy. I expect either silence from their end, or else they will try to claim that Protestants stole the idea from "Sacred Tradition."
On Original Sin
Beowulf2k8 doesn't believe that the doctrine of original sin is biblical in light of Ezekiel 18:20:
The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.
Beowulf, in the comment section of this post, says:
Adam's sin only brings physical death and the inclination towards sin. We do not inherit its guilt so as to be born or conceived damned, nor can we be damned for his sin since God explicitly states "The soul who sins is the one who will die. The son will not share the guilt of the father, nor will the father share the guilt of the son."
Physical death and the inclination toward sin are only two of the effects of the Fall. The other effect, the effect that Beowulf denies, is imputed sin. Craig French (aka Antipelagian) rightly points out the consequences of such a belief system:
If you want to reject our Fall in Adam, you must also reject our Salvation through the Second Adam. Denying federal representation cuts both ways…you reject original sin, you reject Christ's atonement.
Let's take a moment to look at the doctrine of imputed sin, then we'll see why it is so important for the Atonement. First, we need to understand that we live in a individualist society and that the Bible was written by and to a collectivist society. Collectivist societies have a strong sense of identity with the family unit. This is woven all throughout the Bible. Consider the numerous genealogies that are given. The individual identity was never as important as the family, and the head of the family (the father) gave the entire family its reputation.
In this sort of society, the son would expect to suffer for the sins of his father.
Adam is the federal head of the human race. By blood, all of us are descended from Adam. We take our ultimate family identification from him. This means that, in a collectivist sense, we should expect to suffer the consequences of his sin, since he is the head of our race. In a collectivist society, this would be the norm and no one would have the problem that Beowulf has with it.
Adam's sin is therefore imputed to us.
Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned—for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come. (Rom 5:12-14, emphasis added)
Sin and death have entered the world through Adam, and have spread to all men. By both nature and choice, men are sinners. "For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many" (Rom 5:15, emphasis added). Through that one sin, many died. But there is good news:
Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous. (Rom 5:18-19, emphasis added)
Here the apostle is contrasting Adam's act of disobedience with Christ's act of obedience. Because of Adam's disobedience, many were made sinners. But because of one act of obedience by Jesus Christ, many are justified before God and considered righteous. If you reject the first premise, then you are left with no basis for the second premise.
Put another way, if you reject Adam's imputed sin, you have no basis for accepting Christ's imputed righteousness. You may stand before God justified on your own merit. The Apostle Paul condemns such thinking when he writes:
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. (Eph 2:8-10, emphasis added; see also 2 Tim 1:9; Tts 3:6; and Rom 3:20, 28)

Enthusiasts of Wrocław from the Wroclovers group are visiting the construction site at OVO Wrocław tomorrow. They will have a chance to visit a multi-functional complex with apartments, offices and a five-star hotel.
Wroclovers is a group of admirers of Wrocław who are interested in the city and its development. They photograph the capital of Lower Silesia and their works are published on Instagram. Ten Wroclovers, who are visiting the construction site of Wrocław complex tomorrow, will be acquainted with all details about realization of the structure. They will also have a chance to photograph the panorama of Wrocław, including Ostrów Tumski, Kaziemierza Wielkiego Street and Grunwaldzki Square. Hundreds of photographs will be taken during a walk at the construction site of OVO Wrocław and the best ones will be published on the group's Instagram.
The OVO Wrocław investment with the total area of 48 800 sq. m will have seven aboveground and two underground tiers. The office zone, which is intended for sale, amounts to 3852 sq. m. The planned commission of the structure is envisaged on the second quarter of 2016. The general contractor is Eiffage Polska Budownictwo SA, which is currently conducting works at OVO Wrocław in the so called design&build system. It means that an executive project is being realized at the same time as construction works and it properly exceeds the building.

Interview Attire Tips for the Ladies
Gentlemen have it easy: a clean suit, collared shirt and conservative tie and they're polished and good to go for their interview. With so many options and so many places to go wrong, it's a different story for the ladies. I say the following not to start a rant about fairness, but simply to acknowledge the fact that we face obstacles: double standards exist for women in the workplace. It effects everything from the likelihood they will be given demanding assignments to promotions. And yes, it also affects hiring practices. While gender-based discrimination in hiring practices is very illegal, it would be naïve to say that it doesn't exist. The nature of it has changed, turning from "women aren't good at this type of work" to "she doesn't appear serious about the job."
Appearances are important, as they are a large part of building a professional reputation. Man or woman, when we walk through the door, we are judged by the way we should dress. This blog will discuss job interview attire, because particularly as women, our clothing needs to say "you picked up my resume hoping for someone capable— congratulations, excellence just walked through the door."
One of the joys of being a woman is having many clothing options. However, with those additional options comes the need to know what is situation appropriate. When dressing for an interview, I consider my appearance head to toe. So, from the bottom up:
Shoes: Heels vs. flats?
As one of the vertically challenged, I tend to opt for heels, because I have the additional concern of walking into an office and someone thinking that I am on a field trip as opposed to there to work. I think the extra height afforded by heels is helpful, bringing me closer to meeting my interviewer eye-to-eye, so that I can communicate with them on a more equal footing. It also has the added benefit of keeping the hem of my pants or skirt off the floor.
If you taller ladies wish to opt for heels as well, you have that option. I think flats can be a bit casual. But with both heels and natural height, you may come off as slightly intimidating—but depending on the environment you're interviewing for, that may be an asset. So go for it.
Heel Height? I would not suggest going over three-inches. I may be on the conservative side, but if I'm wearing over 3.5 inches of heel, I'm on my way out for the evening, not to a job interview. Which brings up another pet peeve of mine: Keep the club shoes at home!! Platform shoes? Inappropriate. Open-toed shoes? For an interview? Absolutely not! It does not matter if it is in the middle of winter or the hell days of July. Stick with a basic, conservative pump.
Bottoms: Skirt vs. Pants
I always prefer pants. Why? In dressing for the first interview, particularly if its finance or government related, I don't want my interviewer to have that extra reminder that I'm one of their few female applicants. It is my way of helping them to keep their attention off my gender and on my qualifications. When you need immediate medical treatment for your injuries you should get in touch with Disability Attorney at http://workerscompensationlawyerssandiego.com, CA. At the same time, I think (again, my own opinion) skirts are also slightly more restrictive to movement—face it. When we wear a skirt, we have one or two extra concerns when we are going about our day (walking up stairs, when sitting down, etc…). If I'm interviewing for a job that requires me to be constantly on the move, running from one appointment to the next, I'm going to get there at a run if necessary, so pants are my thing.
If you're going to go with a skirt, rock on! Just watch the hemline. They're tricky. Ladies, you've heard the stereotypes, so you know the drill: too short says we moonlight as hookers, and should not be taken seriously; too long says our only aspiration in life is to be someone's secretary. Fair? No. But it's true.
Up top: Shirts
I love shirts. Generally, if the interview is not at a non-profit, I avoid blouses. Again, the "she's pretty/girly, can she cut it?" factor.
I would be remiss if I didn't discuss breasts. I'm happy to have them and I do not think they should be hidden, but my cleavage certainly should not draw all of the attention from my outfit. Tasteful, flattering discretion is key here. No need to pull an Annie Hall, but a simple button-up, with a v-neck color can't go wrong. Add a blazer and you're set.
Speaking of discretion, keep your makeup simple. The peek-a-boo lipstick is not ok. I tend to go for a light gloss, so that when I speak, the interviewer is focused on my works, and not the shade of my lip-liner. A little mascara and eye-liner is fine, just don't overdo it.
Earrings: Simple. I love feather earrings, but they aren't appropriate for interviews, so I tend to wear small pearl studs or small hoops.
Those are my suggestions ladies. Keep it clean, simple, and think of wear you're interviewing as you dress. The goal is to make it clear that you could represent them at a client right that second without having to run home and change.

In the latest issue of the Great British Entrepreneurs Magazine, Jonathan Davies spoke to Celia Hodson, founder of Hey Girls, about her remarkable life and entrepreneurial story. It became the issue's cover feature and starts The Social Series, which looks at the stories of entrepreneurs who put people and the planet before profits.
"The 2019 Great British Entrepreneur of the Year is… Celia Hodson!" She stands, hands covering her gasping mouth. She makes her way through the room, flanked by applause and cheers, raising her hands in a noticeably humble celebration. Making it to the stage to collect the award, her silver sequin jacket glistens in the spotlight.
In a room full of tuxedos and ball gowns worn by entrepreneurs making often vast amounts of money, it was a surreal moment for social entrepreneur Celia Hodson; a far cry from the life she left behind, sparking a journey that led her to create Hey Girls and become the 2019 Great British Entrepreneur of the Year at the Great British Entrepreneur Awards.
Hey Girls is a social enterprise that offers environmentally friendly and biodegradable period products. Using the 'buy one give one' model, Hey Girls' mission is to eradicate period poverty in the UK, and since launching early in 2018, along with its customers, has donated more than seven million period products.
"I remember standing in the queue at the supermarket – they told me my shopping came to £14.33. I looked in my purse and counted up just over £12. I had to put the tampons back. I had to feed my family."
Before being named Great British Entrepreneur of the Year at the National Final, Celia won the same award at the Scottish regional final.
"I was completely overwhelmed when I won in Scotland," Celia beams. "Scotland is quite a small place so I knew a lot of the entrepreneurs in the room, and I admire a lot of them greatly. I just thought 'look at these people, there's no way I will even get close'. I was speechless and a bit wobbly-legged.
"Going to London for the National Final, I didn't expect to win again. I had incredible people on my table and I looked around the room and thought 'how amazing are all of these people?!' Then to have my name called out was just so surreal and amazing."
She adds: "Our profile has just gone through the roof after winning. It's definitely raised the profile of both Hey Girls across the UK, and for me as the founder. It makes a huge difference, drives sales, and makes the team feel fabulous. It's just really great."
'I couldn't park the idea'
By the time Celia was a single mother of three – the youngest of which was just a few months old – she was no stranger to a tough life. Although growing up in the Lake District, swimming in the lakes and walking the surrounding hills might sound idyllic, Celia admits it was far from perfect. A brutally strict father whose job in construction didn't bring in a steady income left her mother forced to shield Celia and her sister from the harsh realities of their lives…
You can read the full feature in the latest issue of the Great British Entrepreneurs Magazine.

Climate change, as far as the media's concerned, is always the dog that didn't bark. What with all those expensive ads from energy companies, the very thought of putting these superstorms in context seems almost rude! (EPA head Scott Pruitt called a climate change question "insensitive.") From Jeremy Deaton via Quartz:
Will the major broadcast networks report on the role of climate change in shaping this storm? If Hurricane Harvey is any indication, the answer is 'probably not.' But by ignoring climate science, they are missing an opportunity to tell a great story.
Last week, Harvey tore through Texas, killing dozens of people and displacing more than a million. The National Weather Service described the storm as "beyond anything experienced." The agency had to add new colors to its maps to portray the unprecedented volume of rainfall. Brock Long, the head of FEMA, said, "You could not dream this forecast up."
Climate change is taking us to uncharted territory, fueling storms that were previously unimaginable. Warm water, humid air and rising seas conspired to make Harvey an uncommonly destructive storm. Pennsylvania State University climate scientist Michael Mann said that climate change "worsened the impact of Hurricane Harvey." Kevin Trenberth of the National Center for Atmospheric Research told The Atlantic, "The human contribution can be up to 30% or so of the total rainfall coming out of the storm."
Despite the considerable evidence that human hands made Harvey more severe, climate change received limited mention in the news coverage. Some outlets — including The New York Times, The Washington Post, NPR, The Atlantic, Politico, Vox, and ThinkProgress — noted the human fingerprint on Harvey. TV news programs on CNN, MSNBC, and PBS also discussed the climate link. But the major broadcast networks paid scant attention to the role of climate change in the worst rainstorm in US history.
An analysis from Media Matters found that over the last two weeks only one of the three major networks discussed climate change. While CBS touched on the issue in interviews with experts on CBS This Morning, CBS Evening News and CBS Morning News, ABC and NBC made no mention of climate science.

|World Trade Center - An Experience (by barryandandy)
|Many of us remember that morning so vividly. September 11th, 2001. I had the opportunity to see the film from Paramount Pictures and directed by Oliver Stone last night with about 50 firefighters from the Tucson Area as well as a handful of law enforcement officers.I really wasn't sure if I wanted to see the film. I remember watching the TV, glued to it, for answers to the questions that I never will have answered as to how something so horrible could happen. This film doesn't attempt to try to answer that question, instead it looks at the spirit of people and how we can come together <more>
|Hollywood Deals With 9/11 On Realistic And Human Terms (by virek213)
|It is unlikely that any film, documentary or otherwise, can depict the horrors of September 11, 2001 with the same kind of accuracy as those who were direct witness to the nightmare. But this year, Hollywood has shown a willingness to tackle 9/11 from a deeply human perspective, first through the TV film FLIGHT 93, then Paul Greengrass' excellent feature film UNITED 93, and now through director Oliver Stone's WORLD TRADE CENTER.Stone, a native New Yorker, but also a polarizing figure of the cinema via his dark and controversial explorations of recent U.S. history and politics <more>
|As emotionally disturbing it was to watch, it ended up being an incredible surprise of a great film (by Smells_Like_Cheese)
|When I first heard of this movie being made, I had so many debates about this film, I almost hated Oliver Stone, after all, we just had only the 5 year anniversary of 9/11. I thought he was going to make some action movie of a horrifying and nightmarish event that is still fresh in most of our memories. So, I refused to see this film, but a girl at my work told me that it wasn't like what we both expected at all and that it was a great film. So, my friend and I decided to see it, I have to say that it was beautifully done and showed great respect for that horrible day.Gratefully and I <more>
|A life-affirming movie about courage (by jmoney-2)
|It's a little known story from a day we know all too well. "World Trade Center" tells the gripping true story of two of the last men pulled out of the rubble of Ground Zero alive.Nicolas Cage and Michael Pena play Port Authority Police officers. In the film's heart- pounding opening minutes, we watch the attack unfold through the eyes of these first responders. As the routine morning becomes anything but routine, the officers glimpse news reports we are thankfully spared any images of the plane striking the towers and get bits of information from cellphone calls to family <more>
|Straightforward Approach Works for Stone (by LAKERS34)
|There will of course inevitably be films made about 9-11 and they will no doubt take many different approaches in telling their stories. This film, the second major effort at depicting the 9-11 attacks, approaches the story head-on, literally from Ground Zero, from the viewpoint of some of those most directly involved in the incident: Rescue Workers. The fact that this film was directed by Oliver Stone was/is a surprise. The film is benign in the sense that it does not postulate about what happened that day and why, which is not your typical Stone movie. Instead, it takes its time telling an <more>
|The second of two excellent 9/11 films (by dukefan1971)
|Normally, I am not a fan of Oliver Stone, having only slightly liked a few of his films. I also know about his penchant for conspiracy-spouting in his films, and I took that with me into the film. What I saw, however, was a truly inspirational, realistic, and gritty film that left me in awe of the two brave men depicted in the film, and how the extraordinary events of a day that will forever be in our memories affected even the most normal of people. I have also seen United 93, which was an incredibly realistic and powerful film. Thankfully for myself and every other viewer of World Trade <more>
|Very Well Done Movie!!! With No Political Agenda... (by dianajay)
|We weren't sure whether or not we would want to see this movie. Oliver Stone is someone who's movies we don't usually agree with. After reading many of the reviews on this site, we decided to give this movie a chance.It is a very impressive, well executed movie... with excellent acting, directing and editing!!! It is a movie that will remind you of that day, however, it is a movie about heroes, friendships and triumphs. Yes, there are points in the movie that you will tear up and even cry, yet there is also laughter at some points and there is a lot of positive throughout the <more>
|Stone Salutes (by ccrivelli2005)
|Oliver Stone salutes the ordinary heroes of this extraordinary circumstances. He puts himself way behind their stories, so far behind in fact that he is almost imperceptible. In Italy, the academics, snobs and other fauna dismissed it as rhetoric and banal. I have the words of the laid back "opinionist" Barbara Pallombelli accusing Stone of "inventing" How silly really. The ignorance between the cultures seems insurmountable sometimes. The story was told by the two men under the rubble and their families. They were working people, not professional "opinionists". <more>
|Moving, but uneven, experience (by Solipsisticblog)
|I was surprised by the intimacy of this film about the September 11th terrorist attacks. It takes a tragedy that shook the world and chooses to focus on just a few characters. There are a few scenes that place the event in the larger global context, but most of the disaster is viewed from limited, first person viewpoints. This heightens the viewer's fear and anxiety and makes for an effective experience.The movie follows two port authority cops as they try to evacuate the World Trade Center. John McLoughlin Nicolas Cage is the veteran cop who has became an authority on the WTC after the <more>

Mental Illness Is The Most Common Disorder In India And Yet The Least Understood
For Indians it is still a taboo and we prefer not to talk about it! You will be appalled to know that at least 60 million Indians suffer from mental disorders which is almost equal or rather more than the population of South Africa.
Even the data from the National Commission on Macroeconomics and Health 2005 shows that almost 10-20 million Indians suffered from severe mental disorders such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and nearly 50 million suffered from common mental disorders such as depression and anxiety.
It is hard to believe but India actually spends 0.06% of its health budget on mental healthcare, which is less than what Bangladesh spends (0.44%). This might make you angry but the fact is most developed nations spend above 4% of their budget on mental-health research, infrastructure and frameworks, according to the 2011 World Health Organisation report.
While suicides caused by insanity declined from 7% in 2010 to 5.4% in 2014, more than 7,000 people killed themselves as a result of mental disorders.
National Crime Records Bureau 2014
The government has commissioned a national mental health survey through the National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences, Bengaluru, to estimate the number of mental patients and utilisation patterns of mental health services. Started on June 1, 2015, the study interviewed 27,000 respondents by April 5, 2016, according to a reply in the Lok Sabha from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
Though we are a developing country, we are still short of health professionals to address these mental issues, particularly at the district and sub-district level.
There are 3,800 psychiatrists, 898 clinical psychologists, 850 psychiatric social workers and 1,500 psychiatric nurses nationwide, according to a reply by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare in the Lok Sabha in December 2015. This means there were three psychiatrists per million people, according to data from the WHO, 18 times fewer than the Commonwealth norm of 5.6 psychiatrists per 100,000 people.
The Mental Health Care Bill, 2013, which provides for the protection and promotion of the rights of persons with mental illness during the delivery of healthcare in institutions and in the community, was passed unanimously by a voice vote in the Rajya Sabha on August 8, 2016.
Rajya Sabha
The new Bill has increased funding to centres of excellence in mental health, from Rs 30 crore to Rs 33.70 crore per centre.
According to the government statistics as many as 15 centres of excellence in mental health and 35 post-graduate training departments in mental health specialities have been funded to address the shortage of mental health professionals nationwide.

Portal 2 isn't just a sequel to a cult first-person puzzle game. It could also be a major step towards a world where the platform you use to play a game matters less than the game itself. The long-awaited Portal 2, which pits players in a physics-based game against (what is assumed to be) the cheerfully homicidal GLaDOS artificial intelligence, will be released on April 19.
The new title from Valve Software brings the firm's Steam service to the PlayStation 3 for the first time, albeit in a limited form. Using a Steam Overlay for the console, PS3 owners will be able to play cooperative multiplayer matches with PC and Mac gamers on the Steam service, as well as chat to them using voice and text.
Steam, however, evolved into an application management system, allowing background updates of games registered with the Steam service to be downloaded and updated. Other developers signed on, and Steam now is one of the leading means of electronic distribution of software on the PC. Steam also allows users to transfer content from PC to PC and even allows saved games to be stored in the cloud, as the Steam Cloud tied to Portal 2 does.
In February, Valve suggested that it was working on a "big picture" mode for Steam, which is designed at bringing the app to television. The service hit the Mac last year, and AMD has even used it to distribute drivers.
Although Sony and Valve described how Steam will work in a blog post, a FAQ on the SteamPowered site goes into much more detail.
To take advantage of the Steam features, users need to link their PlayStation Network (PSN) account to Steam, either by selecting a new Steam account or using an established one.
Users won't need to do anything special to access Steam via the Portal 2 game for the PS3; instead, all a user needs to do is to press the "Select" button on the PS3 controller. The overlay will allow users to play cross-platform with their friends who have a copy of the game for the PC; plus redeem downloadable content registered to the PC or Mac, view achievements, news, and friend profiles.
To access Steam Cloud (the saved games) users will need to press the "TRIANGLE" button from the save/load screen, then select the number of saves to back up.
There's also an additional bonus: bundled with the PS3 version of the game is a code to play Portal 2 on a PC. While that will allow users to play Portal 2 on their PC, the additional copy can't be used to play in cooperative mode with the PS3 player, Valve said.

There's a blog post by John Osmond on ClickonWales, the IWA's blog, this morning announcing the chair and party-political members of the 'Calman-like' commission that is to look at financing and constitutional issues in Wales. Sorting out the arrangements for this has been a major issue behind the scenes in Welsh politics since the referendum in March, and Osmond's announcement pre-empts anything from the Wales Office. How the Wales Office will respond to that move remains to be seen. Osmond's post is here.
He names the chair as Paul Silk, formerly Clerk to the National Assembly, and the party-political members as Sue Essex (Labour), Rob Humphreys (Lib Dem), Eurfyl ap Gwilym (Plaid Cymru) and Nick Bourne (Conservative).
There are two interesting points in Osmond's account. One is that the secretariat is to be provided not by the Wales Office but by HM Treasury, in the person of Mark (not Michael) Parkinson. Parkinson has been the key official in applying the Barnett formula in recent years, and was the star of the Treasury's team when they appeared before the Lords Select committee on the Barnett formula in 2009. However, his knowledge of constitutional issues is limited, and the choice of him would suggest a heavy weighting in the financial rather than constitutional side of the commission's remit.
The second issue is Plaid's involvement. Osmond reports that this is under question because of amended wording of the commission's remit to reject options for Wales outside the United Kingdom. While Plaid is a nationalist party, it is in the midst of an internal debate about 'independence'. Its nationalism hasn't historically meant separatism and it is currently thinking through its position. Plaid have also been key partners in all the steps of Wales's constitutional development and debate since 1999, whether through the National Assembly and Welsh Government, by appointing a nominee to the Richard commission, or calling for and supporting the work of the All Wales Convention and the Holtham Commission. This is in marked contrast to the SNP in Scotland, which chose not to take part in the Scottish constitutional Convention as well as the Calman Commission. Wales's constitutional processes have managed to be inclusive of all major parties in a way that Scotland's haven't – and have been all the more effective for that. The deliberate framing of a remit to limit Plaid's engagement would severely weaken the Commission, its work and its possible report. Gwydyr House and Number 10 would be well advised not to repeat in Wales a Scottish lesson that doesn't apply there.


text: Installation inspired by the Leo Tolstoy quote. "If you want to be happy,be" Rather than a warning, this is a thought. Happiness is invisible, yet it reflects on our lives through the reality of our own actions. A metaphor represented by the sculpted mirrored slab that turns, like life, to reflect the lit writing all around it, symbolising our will. And we get to choose the small or great stories we want to reflect in this mirror of happiness.
