Ok this isn't the prettiest dish but looks can be so deceiving! This grilled chicken dish is moist, tangy, spicy, and simply delicious. I picked up some tomatillos at the market the other day to make a salsa for chips but decided on using it to smother some grilled chicken. I went full blown Mexican this month and loved making all these dishes so hopefully you've enjoyed them as well.
I grilled the chicken using my George Foreman grill because the weather wasn't holding up. The grill worked just fine and was able to get nice grill marks on the chicken. I then prepared the sauce in a blender and covered the grilled chicken, added cheese and baked until cheese melted. This was an incredibly easy dish to make and took about 30 minutes.
I also made my own tortillas for the first time! I'm never buying store bought corn tortillas again. They came out a little thick but next time I think I'll invest in a tortilla press for perfect tortillas every time.
Grilled Chicken Smothered in Tomatillo Salsa
2 lbs chicken breast
5-6 tomatillos, roughly chopped
1 tsp cayanne pepper sauce
1 medium onion
1 tbsp fresh parseley, chopped
2 tbsp cilantro, chopped
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp black ground pepper
1/2 lemon
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
1 serrano pepper, sliced
Preheat oven to 350. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and squeeze lemon over the chicken breasts. Grill the chicken until cooked all the way through. Add the tomatillos, pepper sauce, onion, parseley, cilantro, 1/2 tsp salt, and half the serrano pepper to a blender and puree ingredients. Add the chicken to a baking dish and cover completely with the tomatillo salsa. Add the cheese and remaining serrano chile slices on top and bake chicken for about 10 minutes until the cheese has melted and is bubbling. Remove from oven and top with cilantro.
1 cup maseca corn flour
3/4 cup of hot water
1/4 tsp salt
In a bowl add the flour, salt then slowly add the water until a dough is formed. Roll about 2-3 tbsp of dough in hand to shape like a ball then flatten with the palm of your on a floured board. Lay a piece of parchment paper on top and roll until desired thickeness. Heat up each tortilla in a heavy pan (cast iron) with a pat of butter until tortillas are a little browned on both sides.
note: you can get Maseca corn flour from a Latin grocery store. Maseca is the brand name of a very fine corn flour that's made with a bit of lime.

GUESS AGAIN. Not the Palestine Post or Press TV, but it was the Sunday Times of London that saw fit to print a hideous looking caricature of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu building a wall cemented with blood, crushing Palestinians, including women and children.
Honest Reporting This cartoon published in The Sunday Times (subscription-only) would be offensive at the best of times. That it has appeared on Holocaust Memorial Day is doubly so. Penned by Gerald Scarfe, the caption reads: "Israeli Elections… Will Cementing Peace Continue?" An evil looking PM Benjamin Netanyahu caricature builds a wall cemented with blood, crushing Palestinians including women and children.
Israel's security barrier (of which the vast majority is a fence and not a wall) is meant to protect Israeli civilians against Palestinian terrorism. In any case, the imagery of this cartoon amounts to a blood libel on a day when the millions of victims of the Holocaust are remembered.
In response, The Commentator's Raheem Kassam states:
"I would never have thought the editors of the Sunday Times were in amongst those who would seek, in true Der Sturmer fashion, to use Holocaust Memorial Day to publish a blood libel, and knowingly undermine the memory of one of the worst genocides ever."
HonestReporting CEO Joe Hyams said:
"Holocaust Memorial Day should also be a day when the media remembers that Israel's actions to defend its citizens bear no relation whatsoever to the genocidal crimes of the Nazis. On any day, this cartoon's imagery is an assault on the real victims of genocide, demeans their suffering and insults their memory."

New Space for the Next Phase
- June 25, 2014
- Scott
- 0 Comments
At BP3 we've always believed in the importance of having great space in which to work. We didn't start out with great space – we started out with what we could afford. But we gradually improved on our space and now we've moved into a new home that leaves us with room to grow and room to improve upon a great office. An office represents home, center of gravity, and community. And we have that in spades with our team and our space.
We just took occupancy of 12,000 square feet on the 4th floor of the Plaza 7000 building in Austin. It's a great spot with views of trees and of downtown, and windows all around. And we finally have the open space and offices for our team to retreat to, that we always wanted. This is more than twice the space we previously had – but we were packed to the gills in that old space, in the same building, but with fewer options to expand. Now, if things go well we'll fill up this space and we'll wish we had more. But that's a problem we'll welcome when we get there.
We've already met our neighbors on the 4th floor and received a warm welcome, despite the disturbance of construction, etc. Hopefully they like ping-pong because the games are about to start up again. As you can see from the pictures, our Art Cow made the move, as well as a giant TV for the conference room. Like any startup, we're still waiting for a conference table! The new glass door entryway is a big step up as well. We love our new space.
We have a lot of work to do to spruce up the space, but a few photos give you an idea of the new look. We'll be working on the lobby and conference rooms next – now that we all have a place to sit!
A move like this is never possible without great work done over many years by the BP3 team for our customers. It takes a great deal of confidence in your business to sign up for multi-year leases and to lease space for growth not just for "right now". You don't have that confidence without the hard work of a great team to establish a track record over many years.

text: I am really excited I had the chance to meet these two. We did the shoot in Salem a few weeks before Halloween so the streets were flooded with tourists and Halloween vendors, and we managed to crack more witch puns than one can probably count. They were so sweet and so clearly in love, it was a great time and it was fun to hear them speak excitedly about living in Salem since they had just moved into their new place (which was AWESOME) and out of the city. All the best to Alli + Ben and I am sure their Arkansas wedding is going to be ABSOLUTELY STUNNING.

Use these printable 100's charts to teach your children or students all the numbers from 1 - 100. There is a blank and numbered template and they are a great tool for developing number fact knowledge.
Use this tool with your students to record their understanding of chance. Simply pose a question and get them to record what they think the likelihood of that event occurring might be.
Tens Frames are used to teach children complements of 5 and 10. They use these to practice what's missing from a set to make it complete. The ten frame uses the concept of benchmark numbers (5 and 10) and helps students develop visual images for each number. For example, this device makes it easy to see that 6 is 1 more than 5 and that 6 is 4 less than 10.

Home > Blogs > The Laid Off IT Guy! The Job Lead Log
I invited my friend, Joe, over last night to hangout, shoot some pool, drink some beer and talk about life. Joe's been out of work for awhile and I was interested in talking about our job searches. He and I have been working in Project Management in recent years and I wanted to pick his brain about what he's been seeing out there and what industries and opportunities he's looking at. In some cases we're competing for the same spots, but I was more interested to see what he is learning about the local job market since he's been looking for about 4 months and I've only been looking for about 4 weeks.
Now it's important to note that Joe has a lot of clout in the Project Management industry. He's written several books about Project Management and was instrumental in getting me to take a look at the PM career path as an alternate to the IT Director, VP, CIO roles that I've looked at in the past. While I do have the credentials to qualify for some of the top IT job spots at companies around town, there are so few of them that competition is really difficult to land an interview.
Joe's book helped me pass my PMP (Project Management Professional) certification back in 2009 and I got a job as a Project Manager, and that worked great for a couple of years, but that job ended. Now I'm looking at both IT Director/Manager and IT Project Manager roles. I'm seeing A LOT more PM jobs and my best chance to get back to work quickly is probably in that field.
In comparing notes with Joe about what he's seen and what he's doing, the thing I discovered that works for us in common is that we have both been keeping a log book (Excel spreadsheet) of all of our job leads. It's a really good idea to do so, because when you start talking to 2-3 different people/companies a day and then one of them calls you back you need to remember who they are and what you've said to them or you can really lose a lot of credibility.
Joe's got over 150 leads and mine is up to 78. Many of mine have been explored and extinguished, but it's good to know which ones to focus my attention on. I strikethrough the dead leads and highlight the "hot leads" in yellow so that they get my attention readily. The job lead log is my piece of advice for you job seekers. Track your leads and follow through with them until you get a "Yes" or a "No". It's like crossing items off of your grocery list. You know what to look for and what you have already.
Let me hear from you. I, sincerely, hope this is good advice for you that you can put to use right away! Please share your story with our readers by posting your comments!

Cinque Terre means "five lands" and is made up of five small villages along the coast, Monterosso, Vernazza, Cornigila, Manarola and Riomaggiore. I've listed the villages in reverse order from number "5" to number "1."
Since we stayed in Monterosso, the biggest of the five villages, I have the most photos and stories from this village and wanted to start here. The word beautiful does not do this place justice. It is incredible and hard to put to words. I don't even know a color to describe the ocean. . . I'm going to let the photos do most of the talking.

How would you like to know the essential parts to the Perfect Webinar System and be able to put your business on auto-pilot making money daily?
The secret to making Webinars work for you is turning them into the perfect system.
Understanding these five parts is essential to creating that perfect system.
I learned this system from Amy Porterfield who is wildly successful doing webinars and used to work with Tony Robbins.
5 Essential Parts To A Perfect Webinar System
I love how she has broken these down into parts for the system.
So, without further ado here are the five parts.
1. The Planning Part
The planning part is where it all begins.
She talks about three slide types that need to be in your presentation.
1. Sweeten The Experience Slide – This slide is designed to keep them til the end, sweeten the deal.
2. Your "A-Ha" Story Slides – More about them than you and why you do what you do.
3. What You Get Slides – Wow your audience with what they are going to get. What they get and What they will create.
Her recommendation for a 60-Minute webinar is around 80 slides.
I love her concept of less is more when it comes to how much you put on each slide.
2. The PRE-Webinar Part
The pre-webinar part is where you start the promotion of your webinar.
Whether you are using free marketing or PPC, it's important that you focus on the Title of the webinar.
She puts a lot of copy in her Facebook ads that describe the webinar in detail!
3. The Live-Webinar Part
Her Montra: "No matter if they buy or not, they walk away today feeling inspired, excited and driven to take action."
The live webinar is where you fine-tune your webinar before you go to the Auto-Webinar phase.
At the end of the webinar you want people saying, "If this is FREE, I can't imagine what the paid stuff looks like."
You want your students to feel just like that.
Make sure you add in some engagement slides to give you the pause to allow engagement with your audience.
4. The Post-Webinar Part
The post-webinar phase is where you continue to market through your email sequence.
The first email you send out should be your webinar replay email with the word "replay" in the subject line and time sensitive.
Your second email is called the get real email. Your purpose is to tell a story that your audience can identify with.
The third email is a detailed recap of what is in your product. It can be a long email, but that's fine because those that want your product will read it all.
Finally, the countdown email.
The countdown email is all about urgency and scarcity before the cart closes.
5. The Auto-Webinar Part
The Auto-Webinar phase is what she calls the Holy Grail of the system.
One difference I noticed right away is her registration page.
Because she has put all of the details in the Facebook ad she keeps her registration page to the bare minimum.
She also always gives them the option to register for the next day with multiple times within that day.
Also, she makes sure the times are in the user's own time zone.
5 Essential Parts To A Perfect Webinar System – Summary
In conclusion, I believe that using these 5 parts to create your webinar system will create great success.
If you want more training from Amy you can find that here.
Having a successful Webinar System will separate you from the others struggling online to make a living.
Webinars are by far one of the best, if not the best way to grow your business online.
So, I would love to know how you are doing with Webinars or where you are at. Please share that with us in the comments below.
It's the beginning of 2017, and you have the chance to TRANSFORM your business starting TODAY!

UltraClean EPA/DHA Plus
Formulated to deliver ratios of EPA and DHA that are clinically trialled and proven to be effective, UltraClean EPA/DHA is a rich source of the essential omega-3 fatty acids, important for normal growth and development, and also help reduce the risk of heart disease. Pregnant and lactating women in particular have a hign requirement for omega-3 essential fatty acids.
The Australian National Heart Foundation states "Omega-3 oils are a type of polyunsaturated fat. Polyunsaturated fats are healthier because they help to reduce your risk of heart disease. . . Fish oil capsules or liquids that contain at least 500mg of EPA and DHA in a daily dose are also a good source".
BioCeuticals fish oils are:
- Produced from small fish species at the bottom of the food chain (anchovies, sardines, mackerel) which naturally accumulate minimal toxins
- Sourced from the clean waters of the southern Pacific Ocean
- Harvested from sustainable marine environments with stringent quotas to limit environmental impact
- Manufactured without exposure to light, air or high temperatures
- Processed in manufacturing facilities that meet government regulations and BioCeuticals® own standards for quality manufacturing practices.
- Packaged in either opaque white plastic or amber glass to protect from light
- A GOED-quality range of fish oils - Meets highest standards of purity and cleanliness making it suitable for even the most sensitive of individuals
- Provides highly concentrated ratios of beneficial omega-3 EPA and DHA
- Encapsulated with enteric coating and vanillin flavouring to further minimise fishy aftertaste
BioCeuticals use the highest quality fish oils and the highest quality production techniques, ensuring each capsule contains maximum potency. BioCeuticals® is proud to be acknowledged by GOED Omega-3 (Global Organisation for EPA and DHA Omega-3s) as complying with its strict purity standards.
GOED purity requirements are the most stringent of internationally recognised standards, including the TGA. More than just meeting the purity guidelines set out by TGA and GOED, BioCeuticals only accept fish oil testing well below each and every mandated purity limit.
BioCeuticals use fish oil obtained from small fish species better able to reproduce compared to larger species. BioCeuticals are a proud member of GOED, committed to responsibly developing, sustaining and expanding markets for EPA & DHA Omega-3s. Read more about GOED and fish oil sustainability.
BioCeuticals fish oils are sourced from the clean waters of the southern Pacific Ocean, harvested from sustainable marine environments with stringent quotas to limit environmental impact.
Enteric Coating
The ingredients used in the enteric coating of BioCeuticalsTM fish oil capsules are ethylcellulose, sodium alginate, stearic acid, medium chain triglycerides and oleic acid, ingredients which are natural and commonly used in or sourced from food. These ingredients have been assessed as safe by the TGA and therefore suitable for use in low risk listed complementary medicines.
Further, both UltraClean EPA/DHA Plus and EPA/DHA Plus have been subjected to post market reviews by the TGA. There were no safety issues identified, and in addition BioCeuticals enteric coating ingredients have been internationally evaluated as safe.
The safety of BioCeuticals products is of paramount importance, requiring ingredients to be as natural as possible, while still providing the necessary physical and chemical properties for product stability and physiological efficacy.
Low mercury, heavy metals and pesticide residues
All types of fish accumulate toxins from their environment, however small fish species store relatively small amounts. BioCeuticals® fish oils are manufactured from small fish species only. In addition, they are obtained from clean ocean waters and also tested for pesticides and heavy metals.
Furthermore, the patented purification and concentration technologies used ensure the highest grade of fish oil is produced. These processes occur in a cool, closed system, free of air and light, to prevent oxidation and keep oils fresh. The final products are clean, fresh, stable, and concentrated in the omega-3 acids EPA and DHA, without the typical fishy smell and taste.
Active Ingredients:
- Concentrated Omega-3 triglycerides - fish 1 g
- Equivalent eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) 300 mg
- Equivalent docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) 200 mg
- D-alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) 16.8 mg
- Equivalent natural vitamin E 25 IU
Customer questions / expert answers
The 'vanillin' flavouring is natural flavouring in the capsules. It is a synthesised form of Vanilla called 'Vanillin'. I've checked for other ingredients in the product and it contains no salycilates or amines, some soy, coconut and sunflower oil.

Sounds like an essential fatty acid deficiency - You need these oils to nourish the hair follicles and pass nutrients to the hair strands. Use Ultra Clean EPA fish oil caps - 4 capsules per day for 3 months.

I have a long history collecting coins and stacking a little bit of precious metals. Together, they make up about 1% of my net worth, ex-house (NWEH). (There was a time when my coin collection was probably 20% of my NWEH.)
Dalio is an interesting guy, very smart, honorable, and obviously extremely successful. His writing style is rambling and repetitive, however, and I do not care for it. I started reading his book, Principles, and enjoyed the first part, which is biographical and demonstrates how he is put his "principles" to work for himself, his family and his business. After that section, I found it dreadfully boring, the listing and explaining of the principles, ad nauseam, and I did not finish the book.HankModeratorStatus: AttorneyPosts: 1477Joined: 03/27/2017

Warren Buffett and gold: "You can fondle the cube, but it will not respond."Click to expand…
Good stuff there.
The second major category of investments involves assets that will never produce anything, but that are purchased in the buyer's hope that someone else – who also knows that the assets will be forever unproductive – will pay more for them in the future. Tulips, of all things, briefly became a favorite of such buyers in the 17th century. This type of investment requires an expanding pool of buyers, who, in turn, are enticed because they believe the buying pool will expand still further. Owners are not inspired by what the asset itself can produce – it will remain lifeless forever – but rather by the belief that others will desire it even more avidly in the future. The major asset in this category is gold, currently a huge favorite of investors who fear almost all other assets, especially paper money (of whose value, as noted, they are right to be fearful). Gold, however, has two significant shortcomings, being neither of much use nor procreative. True, gold has some industrial and decorative utility, but the demand for these purposes is both limited and incapable of soaking up new production. Meanwhile, if you own one ounce of gold for an eternity, you will still own one ounce at its end. What motivates most gold purchasers is their belief that the ranks of the fearful will grow. During the past decade that belief has proved correct. Beyond that, the rising price has on its own generated additional buying enthusiasm, attracting purchasers who see the rise as validating an investment thesis. As "bandwagon" investors join any party, they create their own truth – for a while. Over the past 15 years, both Internet stocks and houses have demonstrated the extraordinary excesses that can be created by combining an initially sensible thesis with well-publicized rising prices. In these bubbles, an army of originally skeptical investors succumbed to the "proof" delivered by the market, and the pool of buyers – for a time – expanded sufficiently to keep the bandwagon rolling. But bubbles blown large enough inevitably pop. And then the old proverb is confirmed once again: "What the wise man does in the beginning, the fool does in the end." 18 Today the world's gold stock is about 170,000 metric tons. If all of this gold were melded together, it would form a cube of about 68 feet per side. (Picture it fitting comfortably within a baseball infield.) At $1,750 per ounce – gold's price as I write this – its value would be $9.6 trillion. Call this cube pile A. Let's now create a pile B costing an equal amount. For that, we could buy all U.S. cropland (400 million acres with output of about $200 billion annually), plus 16 Exxon Mobils (the world's most profitable company, one earning more than $40 billion annually). After these purchases, we would have about $1 trillion left over for walking-around money (no sense feeling strapped after this buying binge). Can you imagine an investor with $9.6 trillion selecting pile A over pile B? Beyond the staggering valuation given the existing stock of gold, current prices make today's annual production of gold command about $160 billion. Buyers – whether jewelry and industrial users, frightened individuals, or speculators – must continually absorb this additional supply to merely maintain an equilibrium at present prices. A century from now the 400 million acres of farmland will have produced staggering amounts of corn, wheat, cotton, and other crops – and will continue to produce that valuable bounty, whatever the currency may be. Exxon Mobil will probably have delivered trillions of dollars in dividends to its owners and will also hold assets worth many more trillions (and, remember, you get 16 Exxons). The 170,000 tons of gold will be unchanged in size and still incapable of producing anything. You can fondle the cube, but it will not respond. Admittedly, when people a century from now are fearful, it's likely many will still rush to gold. I'm confident, however, that the $9.6 trillion current valuation of pile A will compound over the century at a rate far inferior to that achieved by pile B.

Interesting article by Ray Dalio. One takeaway for me on things like gold stocks is that most assets are cyclical even if they don't seem like it, so it's not a bad idea to diversify a little into less popular asset classes. I've done so by putting a little bit of my portfolio in gold and silver miner etfs in the past couple months (So far so good on those).
On that note, if you look back at the gold bugs index ("HUI") since January 2000, and compare it with how the S&P 500 has done since January, 2000, HUI has actually outperformed the s&p 500, up about 300% compared to about 200% for the S&P. If I hadn't looked, I would have guessed otherwise.

Any period that begins in 2000 and includes a comparison with stocks is by definition cherry picked. Why not start in 1995, 2003, or 2009? Oh wait, I already know the answer to that.

With all due respect, you missed the point (or maybe helped make the point), which is that people tend to ignore how cyclical these things are. Going back to 1999 up to the present time, that's an entire 20+ year stretch that gold miners outperformed the stock market, and that's even after the miners are way down from their peak in 2011 while the S&P 500 is at its all time high. I am not at all a gold bug (like I said, gold miners are only a small portion of my portfolio), but I find that fascinating when you consider how hated these stocks are by many mainstream investors.

Dalio developed Bridgewater into a powerhouse, no doubt. When I first started looking at hedge funds I noted in about 2000 he was similar to Buffet serving as a "spokesperson". The problem is, zero of his investment techniques or philosophies could be translated into my own situation. Another hedge fund caught my attention, Duquesne Capital. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Druckenmiller
If on wishes to emulate, I suggest Peter Lynch, Stanley Druckenmiller, Warren Buffet, even Paul Tudor Jones and of course Bogle. Dalio for the last 20 years has been on a promotional tour that seems to be about "Ray" rather than actual actionable investment approaches. Hmmm, snake oil salesman comes to mind, not worth reading. Certainly Dalio can afford it.July 26, 2019 at 3:59 am MST #233682 ReplyLiked by IntensiveCareBear

It is normal to exchange small talks with the masseuse while you are getting massaged by her. Today at the massage parlour, the conversation was interesting:
Lim (my masseuse): Do you know Tai Chi?
Me: Well, yeah, I mean I know what it is and have seen people practicing in parks. But I don't know anything else about it, like benefits and reasons to do it etc.
Lim: It's very good. It increases your focus, stamina and energy. It has helped me a lot.
Me: Okay! That's nice.
Lim: But today I am not going to my Tai Chi class.
Me: Why not?
Lim: My Tai Chi teacher is drunk and cannot take class. She sent a message.
I didn't know how to react. Because, I was of the opinion that Tai Chi is equivalent to Yoga in China. If an Indian yoga teacher excuses herself from teaching a class because she was drunk, it would be something totally unacceptable. It's because a yoga teacher is expected to be a teetotaller. Well, maybe I am wrong in comparing Yoga with Tai Chi. Perhaps Tai Chi has nothing to do with the principles of Indian Yoga!
This incident has intrigued me to learn more about Tai Chi.

Description: in maths we have been working with troy. We have been focusing on mutipling and dividing decimals. When wim not working with troy i am doing work from my NZCM stage 7 book. In stage 7 I have been focusing on propositional ajusment. My go to strategy would be known facts.
Big Idea: my goal is to use the most effective stratigy for the question I get.
in the second question I did known facts and splitting. I split 176 into 160 &16 when I work out that 5x32 = 160 and you can't divide 16 by 32 so you will need 6 buses because you can't have half a bus or leave 16 people behind.
The first strategy I used known facts. I went 30x5= 150 & 2x5=10 then I added 10+150 witch equals 160 so you need another bus so you don't leave anyone behind. So you get 6 buses.
In the third picture I used kf. I went 15x13=195 then I went 13x.10=1.30 then I - 1.30 off and got 193.70. Sorry I got the 2.30 wrong it was 1.30.
In the fourth picture I used PVP. I split the 14.90 into 14 and 90 and went 14x13 which equals 182 & 90x13=1170 but then you have to put the decimal back in so you have 11.70. Then you add 182 & 11.70 which gives you an answer of 193.70. Comment below if you got a different answer on any of the questions what it was and how you got it.
Evaluation: I reckon I did well on using the most effective stratigy because I got quick effective answers on most of them but next time I will try to use the best stratigy on all of the questions.

Why we should FORGIVE Trump and Clinton
I know we are all tired of the political conversations. But I have to confess, I turned a corner last week and started feeling (dare I say it?!)…. Hopeful.
The American church has been diseased for quite some time (God bless her). I say this as both an insider having grown up in the U.S.A. and an outsider, someone living outside the U.S. with exposure to the global Church as a whole. Clearly, we are in a season where God is inviting us to clean house. Not fun. But good in the long run.
This week I've been sitting with a not-so-happy passage where Jesus is confronting the Pharisees. He was pretty brutal. He called them snakes and hypocrites. He describes them as roadblocks for people to come to the Kingdom. At one point, He compared them to white-washed tombs and to dishes that sparkle on the outside but are still filthy on the inside.
Quite a sobering passage for any person of faith. The good news is that Jesus also gave us the antidote to hypocrisy. "First clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, so that the outside of it may become clean also…" In other words, we avoid hypocrisy by doing a thorough spiritual house-cleaning— taking a good long look at our inner world instead of just our public face.
So just how do we do some spiritual 'house-cleaning' in relation to this political season?
Admit that we are part of the problem.
Can we actually admit— we have participated in creating this political nightmare? Sins of omission. Sins of commission. Divisive rhetoric. Blaming. Slander. Consumerism. Neglect of the poor. Ignorance. Passivity towards systemic injustice. Gossip. Our appetite for reality TV.
Repentance at it's core will lead me to admit—I am Donald Trump. I am Hillary Clinton. Were my self-serving agendas, private conversations, emails, mixed motives, and double standards to be shouted from the rooftop, I, too would be filled with shame before all people.
But for the grace of God, these two represent ME in my fallen state. Because ultimately, all will be revealed. And the unfathomable mystery of the Gospel is that the record of my wrongs will not be broadcast and punished, but instead cast into a bottomless ocean and never to be remembered by God again. AND I'm enveloped into the loving arms of God and made a favored daughter.
That's our crazy Gospel! But you don't get there without repentance. It's the starting point for all forms of internal cleansing.
Forgive those who have sinned against us.
We all profess to believe in the power of forgiveness as one of the core tenants of our Christian faith. But what would it mean to extend forgiveness to our two presidential candidates? Or others who have hurt us in this season of division? Is it even necessary?
First, forgiveness is a hallmark of our faith. The Gospel doesn't simply stop when we've received forgiveness for our own sins. That same God who eagerly forgave us, longs to forgive others through us.
I think we can all say that these candidates have harmed us and our nation— directly and indirectly— through their vulgarity, refusal to admit truth, and their participation in abuses of power. They clearly are participants (and beneficiaries) in broken systems motivated by power, greed, and the advancement of personal agendas which are a mixture of both good and evil.
But its difficult to forgive a system. People of color don't forgive the social system which has crippled generations through poverty and racism nor can they simply forgive the whole policing system with its patterns of abusing its power. Women won't be able to forgive all men in some blanket prayer for the ways they have experienced sexism.
We don't forgive systems. We don't forgive ideologies. We forgive individuals.
And somehow these individuals become representatives of the systems and ideologies which have harmed us.
And it's not just those in the public light we may need to forgive. I would venture to guess that every one of us can think of a handful of people on the other side the political, religious, ideological fence who pushes our buttons. We read what they write or hear what they say and our blood boils. That person embodies in beliefs, values, style, or discourse, the face of our enemy.
One way we can each begin to bring the Kingdom of God to our current political standoff is to extend forgiveness to these people in our own hearts– whether they are in our circle or in public service. No matter whether they have a blinded world view, a truncated gospel, or even an evil agenda. When we relate to others in our hearts through judgement, harshness, slander, and hatred– we are unable to reflect the Kingdom of Light. Confess it. Ask God to help you forgive and release them in your heart.
I know, I know— you are probably wondering…
BUT why should I forgive when they are unrepentant?
Forgiveness is independent of the other person. We often have to forgive people who are unwilling or unable to see what they have done wrong. Or sometimes, we forgive someone who has passed away. That person does not need to admit what they did was wrong in order for you to forgive.
Forgiveness is NOT saying what they did was acceptable or right. In fact, forgiveness is actually acknowledging specifically how this person has wronged you or others.
Unforgiveness keeps US in chains. And when we confess before God what this person did was wrong and harmed me (or our nation), I make a choice to forgive and to release him/her from the debt owed to me. I let God assume the responsibility for the judgement, not me. Forgiveness unlocks the chains that bind my heart to that person through anger, judgement, grudges, and bitterness.
Of course, forgiveness does not mean we do not use the means of justice available to us. Nor does it mean we do not participate in civic duties or battle for health and truth in our nation. We each carry passions for different forms of justice whether it is for women, the unborn, the marginalized, the sick, the lost, the brokenhearted, etc.. There is a place for righteous anger. But if our heart comes aflame for the injustice but we don't have love, the Bible says, it profits nothing.
In fact, forgiveness may not change WHAT we fight for at all. But it will most certainly change HOW we engage with our enemy and the political discourse. Because things are different when we are operating from an open heart, uncluttered by our own sin and the unforgiveness we carry towards others. Instead of communicating in the language of darkness (i.e. hatred, bitterness, slander, gossip, power plays, etc.), we communicate truth in love.
Forgiveness allows us to carry truth differently. Not that it won't offend. Not that you won't be hated or ridiculed. Christian forgiveness is so radical it enabled 1st century Christian martyr, Stephen with his last breath to cry out, "Father, don't hold this sin against them!" When is the last time we pleaded on behalf of our enemies?
And in case forgiving your enemies isn't challenging you enough, then let's head to one of final frontiers of forgiveness…
Bless those who curse you.
Can you say a prayer of blessing today on Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump? On that person who shows up on your Facebook feed with the most vile of interpretations of cultural events? On that person who is slandering you for your Christian beliefs? On the celebrity of the day speaking some twisted ideology that you know will lead so many astray? Or even on a young man radicalized by ISIS?
If you find yourself unable, you probably have some more work to do on repentance and forgiveness. Or maybe you need some conversations with God about what these people stir in you— fear, anxiety, hatred.
This is the moment where Christianity can bring LIGHT in a dark world. And our modus operandi involves loving our enemies, extending kindness to those who are different, using gentleness to turn away wrath, creating safety for others, and blessing those who curse us. We've seen precious little of this from the Church in this political season. There's a reason the American Church is withering– we aren't living or experiencing the power of the Gospel.
Come November, either Hillary or Donald will be on the throne of America. We cannot afford to have our hearts clouded by our sin and unforgiveness. The world needs our prayers more than ever.
Let's clean house.

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Government of Vietnam on Oct. 13 signed a 293 million USD loan agreement for construction of a metro line to reduce critical traffic congestion in Hanoi.
The signatories included State Bank of Vietnam Governor, Nguyen Van Binh, and ADB Country Director for Vietnam, Tomoyuki Kimura.

The ADB-supported 12.5-kilometer metro line 3 will run 3.6 kilometers underground with 8.9 kilometers of elevated and transition track. It will stretch from Hanoi Station, through Cau Giay, to Nhon. The loan will add ADB to the list of financiers supporting the development of Hanoi's urban transportation system development.
The metro rail line, also funded by the Government of France and the European Investment Bank, is an integral part of the first of four priority metro lines planned for the capital's metropolitan area. Scheduled to be completed in 2015, the metro rail line is expected to transport initially more than 150,000 people a day, and almost half a million a day by 2030.
"The metro rail project will support efforts of Hanoi's authorities to solve traffic congestion more efficiently and substantially reduce green house gas emissions, ensuring the capital's sustainable socioeconomic development," said Kimura.
ADB, based in Manila, is dedicated to reducing poverty in Asia and the Pacific through inclusive economic growth, environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration. Established in 1966, it is owned by 67 members – 48 from the region. In 2010, ADB approvals, including, co financing, totaled 17.51 billion USD. In addition, ADB's ongoing Trade Finance Program supported 2.8 billion USD in trade.

Trapped Quotes
You've got to have character to bounce back from a disappointing night like last night. You've got to have character and poise to withstand a furious run in a very loud building. You've just got to keep your boots strapped up and keep playing. Our guys did that and they earned the win. - Rick Carlisle
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. - Steve Jobs

Apple delivered some much-needed updates to its highest-end MacBook Pros this morning. The 15″ MacBook Pro will now offer six-core Coffee Lake CPUs and up to 32 GB of DDR4 memory, while 13″ models with Apple's Touch Bar will use four-core Coffee Lake parts with 128 MB of eDRAM on package. The smaller MacBook Pro will still use LPDDR3 RAM.
We've already seen how Coffee Lake CPUs can boost mobile computing to new heights, and Apple is taking full advantage of that CPU range with the 15″ MacBook Pro. Going by the boost speeds the company cites for its CPU choices, Apple will offer the Core i9-8950HK as a top-end option for demanding pros in this notebook. The company also says its 15″ wonders will all come with 4 GB of GDDR5 memory for configurations with Radeon Pro discrete graphics, up from 2 GB in lower-end discrete graphics configurations of the past.
The move to DDR4 in the 15″ MacBook Pro made me wonder about these systems' battery life, since off-charger endurance was one of the reasons the company cited for sticking with a maximum of 16 GB of lower-density LPDDR3 to begin with in its late-2016 and mid-2017 notebooks. Coffee Lake chips didn't add support for the more frugal LPDDR4 in their integrated memory controllers. The Verge says Apple increased the battery capacity of both models to make up for the extra power draw of the new CPUs and the 15″ machine's memory subsystem, and the site reports that Apple expects no change in either system's battery life as a result.
Apple claims it's introducing a third generation of its recently-maligned butterfly keyboards with these notebooks to make for quieter typing, too. While many might have requested a new keyboard design that's harder to incapacitate with specks of dust and easier to repair, Apple told The Verge that those issues "have only affected a tiny, tiny fraction of its user base." Apparently, the clack of short-travel keys was more annoying.
Both MacBook Pro sizes now incorporate the T2 system-management processor that made its debut with the iMac Pro. The T2 handles solid-state storage controller tasks and on-the-fly disk encryption, and it allows the 15″ MacBook Pro to house SSDs as large as 4 TB and the 13″ model to stuff in as much as 2 TB of NAND. The T2 also processes the video stream from the notebooks' FaceTime web cams and provides hardware roots of trust for the operating system. On top of those weighty responsibilities, the T2 lets the new MacBook Pros handle "Hey Siri" invocations for the first time.
The screens and Touch Bars on these notebooks now incorporate Apple's True Tone display technology to shift white points in response to ambient lighting. They maintain the 500-nit maximum brightness and 100% DCI P3 coverage that have long been hallmarks of the modern MacBook Pro.
The new processors and other goodies don't occasion an increase in the base prices for either size of MacBook Pro. Apple says the 13″ model with the Touch Bar will command a $1799 base price, while 15″ models will start at $2399. Although neither model's configuration page is live yet, expect eye-watering prices if you start ticking option boxes. Both machines should be available today.

Jill and RC
Residents of the island of Bermuda (lucky ducks!), Jill and RC were married at Tucker's Point Resort. Jill shared some honest words about her experience:
Planning a wedding is no joke. It's stressful and time consuming. However, it's more than worth it at the end of the day. We had so much fun; beautiful weather and everything from the flowers to the dresses were gorgeous. Being able to be from such an amazing island and get married here was a one of a kind experience.
Jill's bridesmaids wore Dessy Collection Style 2834 in Honeysuckle.
Picking her favorite moment proved impossible, but Jill's highlights were seeing her husband as she walked down the aisle and their 18 month old daughter joining them for their first dance.

We predict the existence of a new pulsed-laser operation regime, when the phases and polarizations of the two coupled cold-cavity eigenstates of a monomode solid-state laser are taken into account in the derivation of the Maxwell–Bloch equations. This monomode pulsed regime is experimentally observed, without any normal mode locking or switching occurring inside the cavity. We obtain close agreement between experiments and theory, even in the simple case of a Nd:YAG microchip laser, for which pulses at nearly megahertz repetition rates are readily observed.

My biggest issues would have to be the spelling and grammar. There were a lot of mistakes which will take you out of the story. The game was pretty easy to get the good ending. Maybe the next will add more depth and challenge. The game goes by really quickly. While you aren't charging much, I would have hoped the spelling and grammar mistakes would have been caught before it was released to the public. Perhaps you can make an updated version?
The general feel of the game is enjoyable, though little replay value. I think if you get more practice in, it will help the over all quality of future games. I read you completed this in 6 weeks, which inspired me to try the same. So your game made me want to make one of my own.
Two thing this game has going for it, to me, would be it's Yaoi. Which is something I don't see much of. And it's with a nonhuman character. When you see humans every where, it's nice to see something that goes against the flow.
Hopefully you'll find my comments helpful for any future projects.

The Sport Fishing Advisory Board is saltwater sport anglers' connection with the federal department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada. It is a large board with representation from all areas of the province's saltwater sport fishers. It is worthwhile your reading this document as it summarizes and advances sport fishing issues and interests. I can send a copy to anyone who wants it, and the DFO contact is Devona Adams: firstname.lastname@example.com.
The other documents that to some extent pair with this are DFO's annual Integrated Fishery Management Plans, one for northern BC and one for the south. These reports are technical and include a lot of the science that helps explain decisions reached. http://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/Library/352989.pdf. They are typically 150 pages long. The SFAB document meat is its first 25 pages.
You can find out issues in your fishing area, for example, the Fraser 4-2 and 5-2 chinook that affect south Vancouver Island fishing in late spring and early summer, along with interior Fraser coho. But also covered are rockfish, freshwater salmon fishing, halibut, sport fishing and pipeline/tanker traffic, prawns, etc. One of the etceteras this year was DFO's reinterpretation of 'transportation' of salmon catches that has impacted both anglers and our attendant processing sector.
Another related item is the large commercial industry that operated 24 hours per day in the Port Renfrew area to the detriment of First Nations and recreational harvest. Typically, this has been one of the reasons for tourist anglers making the hour and a half trek from Victoria west on Highway 14. Anglers support Port Renfrew for the Owen Point chinook, Nitinat Bar, Swiftsure Bank, Deep Hole and Juliet Buoy fisheries. The town, aboriginals and anglers would like the bay reserved, as it has been in the past, for non-commercial crabbing.
The Minutes document the many motions that are passed and sent to DFO as recommendations for action. DFO sits on the board with dedicated staff and resources so it is our conduit to decision makers. To remain informed, you should read it.
Here is one item:
Recreational Vision concept paper: Perhaps the most fundamental item is establishing, with attendant budgetary resources and staff, the Vision seeks to establish with certainty, the agreed upon overarching perspective with DFO for sport fishing in BC. To give you an idea of how important BC is: we are only one province of seven that have salmon, but we have more than 99% of all the salmon in Canada. Stated another way, the six provinces that have Atlantic salmon, half of the country, have only 0.2% of the salmon.
BC deserves focussed attention and a dedicated budget line. Here is the portion of the minutes related to the item:
· Thomas: Youth involvement is a key challenge for maintaining a healthy recreational fishery.
· Franzen: The province's participation has been virtually non-existent.
o Kristianson: Provincial participation has been challenging, given their organizational challenges, but the plan is to further engage them once federal commitment is clearer.
· Franzen: Concern about establishing a corporate version of SFAB.
· Cole: Applaud the Executive's effort on this.
· Bird: Other jurisdictions like Australia can offer useful models.
o Ahearn: It would it be helpful to more clearly describe the proposed governance model.
o Kristianson: The concern is that too much emphasis on that upfront would further delay approval.
o Bird: You can say that what's proposed is not new but enhanced, as structures already exist to manage the funds.
o Ahearn: The Freshwater Fisheries Society is an example – the external fund was established, but the same ministry people still ended up running it.
· Kristianson: Many of the proposed activities already exist (e.g. catch monitoring) although some of them could be carried out differently. What is being proposed is a new program within DFO – as it would be easier to achieve consensus around that.
· Protheroe: Commend the work done and support it 100%. I wonder how we deliver to government that this is a concept and that what we are seeking is to move forward with government in deciding how to develop and implement it. Maybe that could be made clearer in a cover letter.
o Kristianson: We would present this to senior staff, who would then be charged with developing the appropriate format for taking that through government.
· Maynard: Commend the work done.
· Wilbee: Note the significant progress made. This is the first step of an entirely new way of doing business and it would be helpful to document all the lessons learned via the history of this board. Also support keeping the Province on the sidelines for a bit. The Community Futures review found it was the most effective program run by the federal government. Having a budget line item is crucial to the success of any program.
· Brookman: I was there at the start and it's been an exciting initiative.
· Maynard: The proposed acceptance motion assumes that the Executive will incorporate additional advice received.
The SFAB has been behind the vision concept for some years to get it established with DFO in Ottawa that sport fishing is big in BC. Yes, it would amount to a new way of doing business, and a reasonable request, our having 99% of all the salmon in Canada.
The above text is the discussion from only one item. If you want to know what your representatives are doing for your fishing in BC, read the whole document. A good investment of an hour.

Why is Online Marketing Essential for Small Businesses?
In a survey, it was found that more that more than 80% of the marketer agreed to increase their marketing budget by almost 50% in the upcoming year. With the changes in technology, presence in the online marketing world is extremely crucial. Business owners who are offline tend to miss out on a plethora of customers because customers today search thoroughly about a product online before making a purchase. Moreover, many small business owners prefer offline business because according to them, their prospects are offline and the majority of the purchase happen in the brick and mortar store. Today, online marketing is a huge success and must especially for small home owners looking to make an impact.
Reach is unparalleled
You can easily overcome the distance barriers through the online marketing campaign. You can actually sell your products and services in any part of the country without having a physical store location, you will probably need only an effective delivery system. Online reviews will further help your organization in achieving high ranking in the first page of the search engine. Small business owners are likely to face trouble in choosing between important and irrelevant information. Online marketing is a huge ocean and making an impact in the online world will help you increase your customers. Today, online reviews are a great way to target the readers because a customer reads the online reviews on various websites before making a final call about the purchase.
Testing the campaign is simple
Testing the marketing campaign before sending to the prospects is essential to reap benefits in online marketing. A few tweaks may be essential to make an underperforming campaign flourish. Keep the marketing messages short and simple because tweaking the changes will become easy and testing of the online marketing campaign will become easy. Additionally, when releasing a press release, stick to having the link of the video instead of embedding the video itself. This puts the focus on your website and you can easily attract the attention of the readers.
Online presence is essential for small business owners to stay competitive and build long term customer relationship.
