Podcast #33: A really easy way to hear from your Guides
Hi and welcome to the weekly Practically Intuitive podcast! This is Lisa from PracticallyIntuitive.com – happy to have you listen in.
By the way, if you have a topic suggestion or just want to know more about ways you can bring your intuition into your life in a very practical and useful way, let me know! I'm always on the lookout for podcast topics.
Today's topic comes from my work with clients over the past two weeks. I've noticed that their Guides have been suggesting the same thing and wondered if that didn't mean I should broadcast that to a larger audience.
Wonder no more! I'm broadcasting it!
The most asked question I get from my clients is this: "How can I hear my Guides more clearly so I can better work with them?" and almost without fail these past two weeks the answer has been "Write us a letter. And then we'll answer."
What do they mean by that?
I've mentioned before that I've kept journals since I was ten. When I've gone back to look through them from time to time, I noticed my habit of writing letters to myself and then answering them back. You know, like, "Dear Lisa: What the heck is going on with my boyfriend? I have no idea. Can you help?" and then I'd write an answer back "Dear Lisa, let's talk about what you need to know in this situation…" and so on.
Once I became familiar with the "voice" of my Guides, I realized it was always them speaking to me through these "letters". And that astounded me because I just had no idea that's what was going on. I didn't even know about Guides in Spirit. It just came naturally to me.
So, that's what the Guides have been suggesting all week for my clients. Writing them letters.
But the other night, one person's Guides made it even easier for them to connect. My client said she tried writing them as we talked about but couldn't be sure that what she was writing as a response wasn't something she made up out of her head.
That bit of doubt creeps in to EVERYONE so she wasn't alone at all. When you start, it's hard to know if you're just making it up or if you are really bringing through guidance. Like anything worthwhile, it takes practice to discern the different voice and vibration.
Her Guides told her to start off easy – pretend you're writing a letter to your Grandmother. Something like "Hi Grandma, how are you? I'm fine, I've been having a lot of fun taking a new class and hanging out with some friends that also go to that class. We learn a lot of stuff and it's cool." Blah blah blah. Easy and bland, right?
Why would you do this if you had a pipeline to your Guides? Why wouldn't you start off with "Tell me my soul mission here on earth and what about that new guy I met, is he THE ONE?"
Attachment. You have a lot riding on knowing your soul mission, right? You probably have a lot riding on whether or not Mr. new Guy is "THE ONE" for you. Loaded with expectation and attachment. So, if your Guides answered and said "Your mission here is to be a shining star for those who cannot see the light and it doesn't matter much HOW you do it but THAT you do it. And oh, by the way, Mr. Man is a great candidate for THE ONE for you." you'd be all "Well, that's what I WANTED to hear so it can't be true."
RIGHT? Yeah, you know I am.
So, don't start there because you don't have the foundation of trust built up yet and so that guidance will be meaningless and cause you doubt.
Start with things that don't overly matter. Just chat with your Guides. The exercise is meant really for you to learn to tell the difference between YOUR voice and that of your Guide team. At this point, don't go seeking answers to really big questions because you've not built that core of trust.
Once you have done that, then it gets easier to know what you're pulling out of your butt vs. what is true guidance from your team. You learn what feels true and what doesn't.
In my experience, their voice is never, ever not once ever judgmental. Never. If you sit down to write your guides and you get back a rehash of all the things you've messed up, that ain't your Guides. that's your ego self babbling away just because it can.
You'll be able to tell the difference in tone, in vibration and in essence without a whole lot of effort but you do have to get in there and practice it.
Just start – anywhere – and keep writing. It doesn't matter if it feels weird or what comes out at this point. Your goal is to establish the flow of communication. When you have that part down and you feel what comes through resonates in a deeper way, THEN you can start asking the bigger questions. You'll be able to trust the answers that you get because you've built that foundation bit by bit.
And, in time, you'll find that the voice of your Guides blends much more easily with that of your own higher self so there's no more need to know what info comes from where. It comes. And you act. That's it. Really.
So, start small and say hi to your Guides. Tell them about your day. Tell them what scares you. Tell them what makes you happy. Just tell them.
Then listen.
And then…trust.
It's that easy. For reals.
If you would like some support on your path to truly listening and trusting or maybe you just need someone to see your blind spots and help you step out of them, contact me. I hear your Guides so clearly and make it easy for you to take action. Come work with me and see how your life can change for the better.
That's it for this week – I'd love to hear your thoughts and comments over on the Practically Intuitive Facebook page or on this post at my website.
Enjoy your week – this is Lisa from PracticallyIntuitive.com. Bye for now.

Do you want to draw the cute, rusty little metal square named WALL-E, but don't know how? Here's how to draw the star of Disney/Pixar's film, WALL-E.
1Draw WALL-E's raindrop-shaped eyes. Add a circle in the middle of each "raindrop" as WALL-E's pupil. Add three bolts around his eye, and cone the eyes with a line about a centimeter wide.
2Add a small line sticking down from the centimeter wide line. Make a box, the a rectangle below the box. Separate the larger box into three sections.
3Add a curved line on the left box inside the rectangle. In the right box, at a zig zag line and a line below that. In the center box, add a vent over to the left and a square with a sun and bars to the top.
4Make WALL-E's arms by making a line off of the rectangle, the add a square. Divide the square into two parts, add a small box on the top and the bottom. Add a bolt on each side to the top box. Make the arms on both sides.
5Add a square below the rectangular box. Add the name WALL-E in the left hand bottom corner. Put the E in WALL-E in a circle. Then, add the rust marks.
6Create WALL-E's wheels by making a rectangular box and adding zig-zags. Make a line from the bottom of the wheel to WALL-E's boxy body to make the wheels 3D.
7Add background to the picture. Make towers of garbage, by making a basic shape and making lines horizontal and vertical. Add WALL-E's buggy friend by making a stretched raindrop shape. Add dots for its eye, and make four sticks as it's legs. Make curly antennas for the bug, too. Make WALL-E's tracks by making a rectangle until it reaches the horizon. Then, add zig-zags.Advertisement

Rockies owner Dick Monfort won't yet assess the Troy Tulowitzki trade, says "I still miss Tulo"
Troy Tulowitzki's lingering bad-blood after his trade from the Rockies to the Blue Jays doesn't go both ways. Colorado owner Dick Monfort on Friday said he misses having Tulo around.
Tulowitzki during spring training told USA Today he remains upset about his deadline-day trade from Colorado to Toronto.
"I'll never talk to him, never talk to those people," Tulowitzki said, referring to Colorado general manager Jeff Bridich and Monfort. "You get lied to, straight to your face, you get upset. I believe in forgiveness, but at the same time, I don't plan on being friendly with them, or anything like that."
A day after the trade, Bridich explained the deal at a podium with cold calculation. At the same time, Monfort talked in a hallway with tears in his eyes.
And on Friday at Coors Field, before the Rockies' first home-opener without Tulowitzki since 2006, Monfort said he remains fond of his former shortstop.
"I miss Tulo. I miss having him. He's a great talent," Monfort said. "He's a hard-working guy. But in an effort to get a lot of pitching, sometimes you have to make those moves."
Monfort also said he will wait to assess the outcome of Tulowitzki trade.
"It's still too early, isn't it?" he said.

My colleague, Jamie McCanless and I just finished the last "tweak" for the 2015 revision of Trustee Essentials, our state's public library trustee handbook. You will find this revised version on our DPI website (http://pld.dpi.wi.gov/pld_handbook). This is the same URL as the previous version, so no need to change bookmarks that you already have in place. And as with previous versions, Trustee Essentials is available as .pdfs – each chapter as well as the entire document.
Although Wisconsin had trustee manuals before, Trustee Essentials resulted from the efforts of a dedicated task force comprised of public librarians, regional library system staff, trustees, and DPI staff in 2002. When it was first produced, Trustee Essentials was printed in hard copy and distributed statewide. But as you all know, technology and public expectations have changed dramatically in those 13 years. As a result, our Agency no longer produces a hard copy of Trustee Essentials; instead we use printable .pdfs. Several states (including Nebraska and New York) have transitioned their trustee manual into an online format with select quick reference documents being available in .pdf. That may be the trend that our state follows for future revisions.
What did we change with this new version of Trustee Essentials? No large scale changes – only a lot of little updates and necessary "tweaks". In a nutshell, with this version, we've:
- Cleaned up all the "dead" URLs and updated online resources as needed
- Updated several legal references and added a few more (related to consolidated county libraries)
- Made certain that current state and federal law was referenced throughout the document
- Revised the system map, system contact information, and glossary found in the appendices
- There were only a handful of chapters that didn't require any updating; the majority saw some level of change
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Service in Dubai in generally good. I think this is one reason why tourists are so impressed when they come. Ya, its all shiny and new, but underneath all that is a lot of people working very hard to make the experience a memorable one.
Service is challenging. I've more or less worked in the service sector all my life – restaurants when I was in school, healthcare – one of the most debated intangibles ever, and now consulting and other business services.
The definition of good service is never resolved. Take a place like Dubai with over hundreds of different cultures and you could have yourself a service nightmare due to potential differing expectations. It does happen sometimes.
However, hands down, there is always one place that never fails in terms of good, consistent service. McDonald's. Yes, I said it. McDonald's. It is out there for public consumption – I go to McDonald's.
I am not a fan of their food, or fast food in general at all. However, their ice-cream is really good. This might be bad for you too, but I strongly believe that is the case for dairy in general. So if I am going to fall off the non-dairy wagon, I will park my horse at McDonald's.
I have noticed, they always have amazing service. And it is consistent – always fast, effective and friendly. There is not much deviation required in fast food service I assume, but I always see the employees going out of their way and smiling. They never pause or hesitate at someone's request. And it seems genuine.
They are really patient with customers – even the angry ones, or those who do not communicate in English very well. You could probably pay for ice-cream, which I think is 3aed with a 500aed bill and they would not complain or ever ask you if you have change. If they didn't have change, they would go find it, rather than make you walk around Dubai and beg for it. I haven't tested it, but I did it with a 50aed once. No complaints.
Just a couple of weeks ago, I was sitting in the drive through during one of our rare rains. It was early evening, and starting to get pretty chilly. There were only three cars in front of me to the window to order, but yet, there was a manager standing out in the rain with no jacket taking orders to expedite the line that already moves faster than any line you will find elsewhere. If I think of these scenarios in a McDonald's in where I am from, I am not so confident I would get the same friendly and fast service.
I think the last time I was at a McDonald's in the US was on a road trip from Houston to New Orleans 15 or so years ago. That in itself is another blog post, so let's just leave it at the service was not good.
One other place that comes to mind when I think of good, consistent service in Dubai is a very nice restaurant named Le Petit Maison. The food and service are both outstanding. Sadly, they are now so popular that they have three seatings a night. This only allows you two hours for an amazing dinner with good friends. I am always a bit disappointed because dinner with good friends is an event that should last more than two hours. Outside of the pressure to depart, if you want to enjoy a great dinner in Dubai, it should not be missed.
In the grand scheme of things, this is not a huge deal. However, I am curious to test it. Would McDonald's in Dubai ask you to leave the table after a set time? For some reason, I doubt it.

Last weekend my orphan thinking got the best of me. My friends saw a side of me they have never seen before. The person they knew as gregarious and vivacious who took charge and worked the room dissolved into a trepidatious wall flower.
I went to a national Women's conference with Heidi and Karthi, two of my closest friends. Karthi's husband was in the worship band so he hooked us up with All Access Passes. We went back stage, ate the catered food and mingled with the speakers and artists. My friends were both eager to talk to whoever they could find. They boldly started conversations while I shrank away in the background.
To me it felt like we were sneaking into a place we didn't belong. In my mind, we had no right or reason to be there in spite of the All Access lanyards around our necks. What bothered me was that I hadn't done anything to earn the right to be in the room. I was just tagging along on the coattails of my friend. I had convinced myself that these people had no idea who we were, so why in the world would they waste their time on us? after one of the sessions, I actually stood in line for 30 minutes to meet one of the speakers instead of trying to catch her back stage. When I talked to her, it felt like I had earned my two minutes with her.
I felt guilty slipping back stage between sessions to grab a bottled water. (However after I paid $3.50 for one bottle at the concession stand, I felt less guilty.) When they had a meet and greet, Karthi wanted us to join in. I just couldn't do it. How could I be in that room and take time away from people who deserved it? After all, they won a contest that gave them access.
My brave friend started conversations with everyone she could find from a woman with one leg to the president of the conference to the security guard. Meanwhile I, the shy one, stood against the wall waiting and hoping she would invite me into the conversation because them I would have a right to be there.
I had turned into a backward, anxious person that my friends did not recognize. They are used to me being the outgoing one because they are used to seeing me in situations where I am the leader, the teacher or the speaker. I earned the right to be in those roles and was free to welcome people and initiate conversations. But back stage at a Women's conference I was just a nobody who was desperately hoping to be a somebody someday.
I realized that this is often how I approach my relationship with God. When I haven't been reading my Bible, I have no right to ask Him to help me. If I haven't been doing my part in serving others, I have no reason to ask Him to give me strength or energy. When I've really messed up and been abusive with my kids or selfish with my husband, I stay away from Him until I can do better. If I haven't gone to church in weeks, I begin to think He has forgotten about me because I have forgotten about Him. In my mind, I haven't earned the right to be in His throne room and should just stay against the wall and hope that He somehow invites me in.
But the truth of my status is that I have an All Access pass hanging around my neck. I have the cross of Christ covering me. I have access to the Father, not because I earned it or deserved it, but because Jesus earned it through His great sacrifice. He lived a perfect life, so that I don't have to (not that I could even if I tried).
But the amazing thing is that I not only have access to throne room, I can walk right up to the throne and talk to the Father and be in relationship with Him. Not because I have earn it, but because He loves me and wants to know me and wants me to know Him. When he sent Jesus to earth, He made a way for me to be made right with Him, even when I mess it up, even when I don't do my part, even when I have forgotten Him.
So why do I stand against the wall outside looking at my feet waiting for someone to notice me? It's my Orphan thinking that convinces me I am not worthy to be in the room, that I'm tagging along on someone else's coattails. Well it is true…I'm tagging along on the coattails of one and only Son of God. But I'm not just some urchin he accidentally drug in off the street. He chose me to be His Princess, a Daughter of the King. "Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it." (Psalm 139:6) Hopefully I will be more like my Princess friends, Heidi and Karthi, when I'm in the throne room with my All Access Pass. I will choose to believe and rest in the work of the wonderful cross.

FGASA stands for the Field Guides Association of Southern Africa. This association was created to provide educational opportunities, working towards "the conservation and rehabilitation of the cultural and natural heritage of Southern Africa". They train and support a group of tourist guides, tour operators and hospitality institutions who share their vision of conservation and rehabilitation.
With that in mind, FGASA aims to create a culture of ethical and safe guiding, and have created a series of national qualifications to encourage enthusiastic and hard-working people, life yourself, to become field guides.
The FGASA Level 1 Certificate is the minimum requirement needed to become a field guide in South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, and Swaziland.
At the end of the course, you should be able to identify the major living and non-living features of the natural environment around you. The course gives you sound knowledge of the area's history, geology, plants, and animals.
This course is both theoretical and practical and is ideally suited for people who wish to pursue a safari field/trails guiding career, or for adventurous travellers seeking a unique educational wildlife experience in one of Africa's last remaining open wilderness areas. The Field Guide Level 1 training course ends in an exam so you will be expected to study, and those that pass will receive a FGASA Level 1 certificate.
You can choose to complete your course in either Port Elizabeth or Kruger National Park in the "Rainbow Nation" of South Africa. Port Elizabeth is South Africa's second oldest city, a coastal town of cosmopolitan vibrancy and beautiful landscapes, along the renowned Garden Route. Kruger is one of South Africa's most famous and well-established national parks, and encompasses some of Africa's rarest wildlife in a dramatic backdrop of lush savannah and craggy mountainsides.

Are you getting ready to walk down the aisle again? Congratulations! But before you book a DJ or order flowers, make sure you've discussed how you'll merge your finances.
"During my 20 years of financial planning, I've learned that if there's one thing couples usually don't see eye to eye on, it's money," says JJ Montanaro, a certified financial planner ™ practitioner with USAA. "Coming out of a previous marriage, you may have had personal goals that you were working toward. But now you're working together as a team, and you want to make sure that those goals become shared goals."
These four strategies can help you address money matters before, and after you say "I do" again.
1. Start Talking Now
While there's not a one-size-fits-all approach for blending finances, the most important step you can take is to begin having those discussions, before you tie the knot.
"It's complicated, especially for second marriages, but having conversations about it is key," explains Judith Stern Peck, director of the Money and Family Life Project at the Ackerman Institute for the Family and member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy.
Talk openly about debts, assets, obligations, spending habits and anything else that might affect your life together. This financial snapshot can help each partner understand exactly what he or she is getting into, whether it's credit card debt or child support payments. "When you really understand what your values are and how money coincides or contradicts with those values, it becomes an easier conversation to have," Peck adds.
Full disclosure about liabilities and assets may also help avoid major money meltdowns after the wedding by providing a benchmark for budget planning and goal-setting. "As you move into this new relationship, you don't want anything to stay hidden. Bad news doesn't get better with time alone," Montanaro says.
2. Make a Plan
Once you both have a clear idea of where you are financially, it's time to start making a plan for how you will work through money issues as a couple. "You want everyone on the same page as far as where you're at and where you're going," Montanaro says.
Start by making a budget. "When you're bringing together two lifestyles, creating a budget is really important. The exercise itself may help you identify potential opportunities to cut back or save money," adds Montanaro. "In the end, this can help create a situation where you are better able to achieve your financial goals as a couple."
While every couple is different, there are some questions that should be answered before you merge households.
- Will we have joint or separate bank accounts?
- Who is responsible for paying down pre-existing debt?
- How will we handle recurring bills such as utilities, rent and insurance?
- If there are children from previous relationships, how should benefits from life insurance policies, retirement plans and other financial assets be distributed?
- What are our financial goals, such as, buying a home, saving for the kids' education, retirement and so on?
- Which expenses are important to us, such as charitable giving or education, and which are not?
- For active military members, how will things change if one spouse is deployed?
3. Get Started
"Talking through your financial situation is great, but if the talk doesn't result in action or actionable items, you most likely won't achieve the results you want," Montanaro explains.
He suggests putting everything in writing, and then actively taking the steps required to make it happen. This may include formalizing a budget, paying off debt, closing redundant accounts, updating beneficiary designations on retirement accounts and insurance policies, creating a family trust or drawing up a new will.
"The execution is where the rubber meets the road," Montanaro says. "If you don't follow through, then those conversations may fade into distant memory, and you might end up with a situation where there is confusion and conflict — between each other or, if something happens to you, among your children or family members."
4. Measure Progress
Once you've put your plan into motion, keep an eye on it. Are you making progress toward your goals? Has your situation changed unexpectedly? Do you need to adjust the budget?
"The reality is, whether it's a first or second marriage, or wherever you happen to be in life, things can change overnight," Montanaro points out. "You should periodically update your financial plan and make sure that the things you're doing are still right for your life."
Life comes with plenty of ups and downs. A promotion with a salary increase, a new baby or a financial windfall can all be very exciting, but a serious illness, a debilitating injury or an unexpected expense can throw a wrench in your plans. Whatever comes your way, be prepared to adjust your financial plan. Montanaro recommends couples schedule monthly money dates to review the budget, measure progress toward goals and discuss any issues that have come up.
"It's not a once-and-done project," he notes. "Your budget needs to keep pace with your life. As your life changes, so too should your plan."

It's time to bust out the red, white and blue and get ready to celebrate America for the 4th of July. Of course I love to dress the part and so do the kids so I came up with a fun 4th of July shirt using my Cricut and some iron on vinyl to celebrate the holiday.
First off the quote I used is from one of my favorite movies and shows: Holiday Inn. I would rent this movie so often as a kid and attempt to recreate Fred Astaire's big 4th of July number with firecrackers going off as he tap dances. If you're are unfamiliar with this movie check it out. It's songs by Irving Berlin and where White Christmas and Easter Parade were first heard on the silver screen. Side note, the Broadway show was also amazing, so if it comes to your town buy tickets! The big 4th of July song "Let's say it with firecrackers and banners held high. Let's have a real old fashion, noisy 4th of July" pops into my head each year so I thought it would make the perfect quote for a shirt.
Supplies Needed:
Cricut Machine
Cricut Access Subscription
T-Shirt (I like the Hanes X-Temps)
Heat Transfer Vinyl (Red, White, Blue, Gold, Silver) or Glitter HTV
Step 1: I used the new Cricut Design to create my project.
Step 2: I searched for fireworks and firecracker and used ones that are part of my subscription
Step 3: I added the words making them each different fonts and swapping the colors.
Step 4: I wanted to connect some letters so I did that and then welded them together
Step 5: When you're ready to cut click the Make it button. I love how the mats are now colored so you don't mix up what you're cutting
Step 6: It's key to make sure you select Mirror image when using HTV
Step 7: Cut your items and make sure you place the vinyl face down on the mat and then weed the excess vinyl
Step 8: You'll have to assemble the design and my biggest tip is make sure you aren't overlapping any plastic on top of vinyl before you iron
Step 9: Iron on your design
Step 10: Pull back the top lightly to make sure it's adhered and then remove the rest
Step 11: Wear and enjoy the 4th of July!
I'm so happy with how these turned out and love the idea that I can pair the shirt with a skirt, jeans, or shorts. It makes a holiday a little more fun and festive and I love the idea that the quote is a great conversation starter and reason to see watch such a classic movie.
Do you have a favorite 4th of July movie or quote?

As mentioned in a previous post, I went for a PET Scan last week. Since the wall in my small intestine had a thickness and there were enlarged lymph nodes there as well, my oncologist decided a PET Scan would be the best way to determine what is going on.
Today… I met with her to go over the results of that scan. I can't lie. I was very nervous on my drive to the hospital. I was praying it wasn't cancer for the third time. Afterall, I had chemotherapy after my second bout with cancer in 2012.
Shortly after signing in, I was called into the phlebotomy department. This is all routine protocol before patients meet with their oncologists. First the technician took my blood pressure. "It is very high," she said. I told her that I was nervous meeting with my doctor today. I'm on medication for high blood pressure so I was shocked myself that it was so high. Then she drew 2 viles of blood, weighed me and sent me back to the waiting room.
I waited there for what seemed like forever. (In reality it was only 15 minutes.) When my doctor came out and called my name I jumped from my chair and headed towards her. Once we were behind closed doors she told me that the PET Scan did not show any active cancer. I guess the look on my face wasn't one of relief because she repeated it again and reminded me this was good news. After having cancer twice already I guess I just naturally assumed the worst. The thickening of the intestinal wall and the enlarged lymph nodes can be expected post surgery.
Previously I told you that a Hemoglobin number of 12 is the normal number for the average person. Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen through your body. Today my bloodwork revealed that my Hemaglobin number was 16. That's the highest it's ever been. I was thrilled but my doc said it was too high. She told me to drink more water to bring the number down a little.
So all-in-all it was a happy day for me. Now I can move on with my life. I don't need to see my oncologist for 6 months.
Until next time…

New Player Effect, Diseases!
Crims0nAnxiety last edited by
So as the topic suggest we could implement things like diseases.
So the basic form of this idea is that you can get sick which can either cripple you or just make things harder for you, for example:
- You could be running around a lot between different biomes with different temperatures and eventually you could get sick with the flu and that would cause you to loose calories more faster, make you sprint much less, basically you would be more sluggish, so to get over the flu you'll need more vitamins so the more you eat certain foods the quicker the flu goes away.
Now there are many more diseases that can be implemented like:
Frostbite etc.
So what does this open up, well there can be a new skill "tree", "Medic or Physician" or whatever.
There can be new items like a surgical mask to avoid spreading airborne diseases or a surgical saw to amputate disease rotten limbs ( this seems like it could brake a game but at least be able to break bones from falling to high etc.)
Just some ideas, will post more if I can think of any :p
This was a bit dark but could be fun or could brake the game :p

June 17 (Matthew 4:10)
Then Jesus said to him, "Be gone, Satan! For it is written, "'You shall worship the Lord your
God and him only shall you serve.'" (ESV)
We often read the temptation of Jesus as a story about the power of knowing Scripture and using it to fight temptations in our own lives. This is a perfectly good way to read the story, and indeed Jesus does use Scripture to combat Satan. Yet if Jesus really is God, the second person of the Trinity and the Lord of all, then there is another way to see this interaction between Him and Satan.
Picture it. There is Jesus, exhausted in His humanity from forty days of fasting, and the smiling, oily, manipulating tempter approaches, challenging His identity as the Son of God by suggesting He turn stones into bread. Jesus fills His lungs with hot, desert air and replies that man doesn't live by bread alone (verses 3-4). Satan tries again (verses 5-7) by suggesting He throw Himself off the top of the temple in Jerusalem. This time there is fire in Jesus's eyes when answers, "Don't tempt the Lord your God!" Remember, He is not only a human quoting Scripture, He is also talking about Himself. He is God and He is the Lord. It is as if He is saying, "Back off, if you know what's good for you," for tempting God is exactly what the devil is doing. And then the tempter shows his hand. He wants to be God himself and commands Jesus to worship him. This time there is thunder in His voice and lightning flashing from His dark eyes. "Get out of here, Satan! YOU will worship ME!"
This is not a story about a super nice guy at church who has a Bible verse ready for all occasions. This is the story of your big brother stepping in between you and your enemy and getting in that enemy's face. And the natural response of any child, and we are all children before God, is to say, "I want to be just like Him when I grow up!"
Jesus, I do want to be just like You. I want to be strong in the face of weakness and steadfast in the face of temptation. Make the words of Scripture become my own flesh and help me to stand boldly against all that comes my way, just as You did. Amen.

A recent self-care Monday, during which I had all my moles and skin tags and dark spots checked out and this year's flu shot injected, led to another preventive discovery. In the clinic waiting room, I came across the September 26, 2016 issue of Women's Health magazine, chock full of the usual advice on how to deal with foot pain, master the podium for public speaking, and choose the latest shades of make-up (as well as an intro to eating paleo). Plus a well-timed article, put together by journalists and policy experts in the arena of women's health and wellness, exploring "what if" the most dramatic gender-related proposals that have been put forth by candidates this election cycle actually came to pass. How might this figure in the choices women voters will make on or before Nov. 8th?
Last week's blog laid out the consequences of completely repealing the Affordable Care Act or of declaring abortion to be illegal. There would be huge costs in terms of sicker women and dangerously unregulated medical procedures. This week let's take a look, based on the opinions of dozens of experts who were interviewed, at what is at stake for women around immigration. Again, if the most extreme proposed measures were adopted, the financial and human costs would be high and the damages great.
If the federal government followed through on deporting even half of the undocumented immigrants in this country, some five million women would be forced to leave. Many of these women would be separated from their children, since 88 percent of the kids in immigrant families are U.S. born citizens. The cost in emotional upheaval would be unfathomable.
The median household earnings of citizen wives and children — left behind to make it alone after their spouses and fathers were deported — would fall by half, to less than $25,000 a year. Estimates are that this drastic reduction in income would "shave an average of 2.2 years off these women's lives."
The UU Women's Federation has participated in work for common sense immigration reform. We do this work, along with dozens of other faith and secular groups, with a commitment to protecting rather than breaking up immigrant families, ensuring due process, and promoting immigration policies that empower women. We urge you to go to the polls with this intention.

Looking for a day trip away from London? Why not head towards the south east coast of England and explore the dramatic white chalk cliffs in Seven Sisters? No, not the 'Seven Sisters' in London but the one located just under 2 hours' drive from London. We did that, and it was just Fabulous!
Although easily accessible by train and then buses from Brighton or Eastbourne, we did a road trip from London to Birling Gap & the Seven Sisters and enjoyed some sightseeing along the way. It was the perfect little getaway from London!
We were happy to see the sky clearing up as we left London and headed towards East Sussex. A real breath of fresh air kicked in as we drove into the countryside, while the sun was still timidly peaking out of the clouds.
The greenery all around us felt amazing and when I saw a chalk figure of a horse on a hill side, Oh! I got so excited!! I immediately urged hubby to stop the car so I could take some shots! I love these kind of unexpected discoveries along the way!
Once hubby stopped the car safely (we were on a very narrow little road), I managed to take this shot. It was still a bit far but I'm so pleased to have seen it! After a little research on Google, we find that it is called the Litlington White Horse in East Sussex.
We soon arrived to Birling Gap & the Seven Sisters, which is the best place to view the dramatic white chalk cliffs. The skies had cleared up by then and we had a very clear day ahead of us! It was beautiful!
The parking area to the site was already pretty full when we arrived around midday but it was not difficult to find a space as there were people coming in and out constantly. But check out the view from the car park with the cows & all! How I love the countryside! :)
Only a few meters walk from the car park and this was what I have been waiting for! The first sight of a breathtaking view of the white chalk cliffs.
Pebble beach at the Birling Gap & The Seven Sisters. What a glorious day!
I could not believe I was finally there! I have been wanting to come here for I cannot remember how long and it seemed pretty unreal!
💙 Time for a couple selfie! 💙
As we walked along the coast, there was less and less people, so perfect for a souvenir photo! :)
Located only a few minutes drive down the coastal road from Birling Gap & the Seven Sisters, this stop is for the nature lovers looking to do some footing whilst enjoying the view of the cliffs from above.
From here, you can also spot the pretty stripy red and white lighthouse making the cliffs look even more picturesque!
We then decided to take a walk down the slopes towards the beach, where we could see Eastbourne from afar and also the pier.
It is quite a steep slope to walk down so comfy shoes are recommended, as well as good knees!
Pretty yellow flowers and little daisies from the green grass along the paths kept us going and I love how comfy my Nike Free FlyKnit were! :D
After a good hour of walking and 'climbing up' the slope to get back to the car park, we were satisfied with the amount of calories burnt and were happy to call it a day! We drove towards the coastal road of Eastbourne to check out the Town Centre before taking the road again and heading back to London.
Now that summer is finally here, I'm hoping to plan many more road trips as such around England.
Any recommendations? :D
Thanks for reading guys!

"We're often kept from getting what we want in life more by the demands we place on ourselves than by the demands of others," notes Christy Matta, author of The Stress Response in this Huffington Post blog.
Matta cites limiting beliefs like "I shouldn't feel the way I do." Or "I should solve problems on my own." Or "Other peoples needs and wants are more important than mine."
This struck a chord with me. I see that we carry around these same limiting beliefs in our military lives and military marriages. We have the same kind of internal rules that hold us back from actually dealing with the life we have instead of a life that exists only in our imaginations. We have internal rules like:
1. My servicemember should be here (for Christmas, for my sister's wedding, for the birth of this baby.)
2. I am the only one who can take care of this (asking for help is weak.)
3. No one in the unit should ever say anything that hurts my feelings (or I won't participate).
4. The military is never good for families.
5.I can't handle this (deployment, move, fruitless job search).
6. People always have problems with reintegration.
7. No one but us ever has problems with reintegration.
8. Military life is so much easier for (officers, enlisted, senior folks, junior folks, singles, parents, people stationed at Pendleton, people stationed in Tampa, people on an aircraft carrier).
9. If my servicemember cared about us, he or she would quit.
10. I am nothing like other military spouses.
I know I am guilty of thinking some of these things. OK, OK. I'm guilty of thinking or even saying all of these things at least once. Maybe you are too.
The thing is, just because we have one of these thoughts doesn't make them true. These are the thoughts that hold you back from having a better military marriage. Matta offers some advice that really works with these kinds of internal rules:
Think the thought, but change the word "should" to "could." If it's a thought with the word "can't," change it to "I feel sad, disappointed, anxious, when I..." Notice if the word change has an impact on how you feel. For example, you might change "I should just deal with it" to "I could just deal with it." This subtle shift can increase the flexibility of your thoughts and expand your sense of having options.Catching all the times I use words like always and never and should and must and nothing and only, and rethinking those thoughts really does make me feel better.
So I'm rethinking things like: My servicemember could be here, but his work means that he is far away. He misses us as much as we miss him.The military could be good for families. We have a steady income, solid benefits and regular communication. And my guy loves his work. I am a little like military spouses—we all love someone in uniform. I can handle this (but it drives me crazy sometimes!)
Changing a should to a could doesn't seem like much. But so often it eases that tied up knot that holds us back. It works. And if it works, I'm using it.

Short essay
Writing An Effective Short Essay The thing that is common between writing long explanatory research essays and short essays is the pattern. Yes, both of them follow same pattern and even the same style. A short essay is just a brief summarizing overview or general idea of an event or a problem.
Most academic institutions assign their students to write short essays on different topics as a part of their curricular work. This helps students to get an idea of writing summarized text as well as to create small articles on any topic. This piece of writing will help you discover some ideas about writing short essays on variety of topics.
Topics Related To Personality: We begin with essays related to personal incidents, events, personalities, etc. This case requires some short introductory lines that are related to the background of that event, incident or personality. Body section will begin with the main description and will comprise of at least 300-350 words, if you are writing a normal 500 words short essay.
Similarly, conclusion is expected to finish the message or idea transmitted in the introductory lines. Conclusion should be smaller than introduction section and should not be diverging. To offer further help, we have a short guide on writing personal experience essays written for you.
Topics Related To Science, History, Philosophy, etc.: These types of short essays don't require you to present background introduction. Hence, from introduction to conclusion, you deal with your hypothesis or the statement of your problem, which is actually your topic of essay. The craft is to summarize a good amount of detailed work in a few lines.
This is done by picking up important key points and writing them accordingly in a descriptive form. These essays are meant to be succinct and simple for the reader. In other words, short scientific essays are summaries to detailed dissertations and research papers.
Miscellaneous Topics: Other type of miscellaneous short essay topics may include topics on literature, academics, geo-political situations, etc. For your easiness, you can also take assistance of custom essay writing services online.
The idea behind writing short essays and articles is to prepare students in the art of concise writing. It has a great demand in the field of academic, literary and scientific writing as well as in journalism and creative writing. Moreover, students make summaries of different topics in their courses. This routine of writing helps them to continue their practice of writing with even more perfection. Many students consider topic selection more difficult than essay writing. For such students, we have an excellent essay available online, which gives some tips on formulation of interesting essay topics.
A short essay is not only a good way to express your knowledge in a concise manner but it is also a good method to convey information in a clear-cut fashion. No matter you write an essay on personal incident or a scientific topic; you stick to your topic – you succeed. For more information on essay writing techniques, consider an excellent writing service online.

Page Count: 244 pages

Jon Slade finally met his mate, but instead of it being the happiest day of his life, it became the saddest when wolf shifter Kelvin MacCurdy chose his obligations over their fated bond, leaving Jon to pick up the pieces of his shattered dreams. Lucky for him, Roman Howell, his boss and the owner of L'Ange, saw promise in the forlorn lion and put him to work so he wouldn't have time to sit around and lick his wounds while he waited for his wounded spirit to heal.
Then the wolves make an official visit to L'Ange, and Jon finds out Kelvin's pining for him is taking its toll on his position as the king's champion. Though Kelvin's training and the expectations of others steer him toward an intended mate, Jon has an unbreakable hold on his heart, and it's no longer possible for Kelvin to keep himself from where he truly belongs.
But the conclave brings more than Kelvin to the château. It also brings a challenge to jackal alpha Quade Danas, a threat that Quade and Roman, Arman and Linus, and Jon and Kelvin may have to fight in order to keep L'Ange's family intact. Jon never wanted to lead a pride, but the loyalty and devotion to one is ingrained in him. Kelvin was raised to punish anyone who questioned his king, but the calling to protect others runs through his veins just as deeply. To come out on the other side of the battle together, Jon and Kelvin will have to hold the darkness of solitary pride and broken hearts at bay—and find strength in belonging to something bigger than themselves.
This is the first book I have read in this series but I will say this, that is all it took and I am now hooked.
I really love shifter books and this one was no exception. It may be about two men in the pack but it was also a look at the larger scale with other members of the pack also.
Job met his Fated mate only to be told that they cannot be together. Job was heartbroken. This is the one thing he has always wanted and prayed to find but did not think that it would happen. Now to have found it and be told he can never have it, he is broken.
Even after a year, he is still not over having met Kelvin only to have him walk away. But fate has other plans for these two men and the other men in this pack also.
Kelvin tried to forget about Jon but it wa impossible to do so when his wolf pack returns to L'Ange again Kelvin has already decided he will have his mate even if he has to give up the life he has always known.
This should be easy but it is not. There is certain protocol that Kelvin has to go through in order to be let out of his responsibilities and to live the life that he wants to live with Jon but the King of Kelvin's tribe is determined to make it all has hard as possible for this to happen. In order for Kelvin and Jon to be able to walk away from this they are going to need the help of everyone in Jon's pride in order to accomplish this and still be alive to tell the tell.
This was such an adventurous read. There is so much action that it made it an extremely enjoyable read. I loved that Mary made these characters work for their relationship. It was not a meet and fall in love type of read. These men had to fight for the love that they felt, had to fight to keep each other and to be together. And they had to fight each other to be able to come out on the other side with even footing.
I cannot wait till the next book comes out. It should be an extremely amazing read as this one was also.

The Katana was the traditional weapon of the Samurai, the noble class of warriors in Feudal Japan, since around 800 AD. The average Katana consisted of a 3 to 4 foot curved blade with an 8-12 inch hilt. Traditionally, a Katana was forged with a matched Wakizashi, a shorter, lighter sword of about a foot and a half in length with little or no curve. Sometimes a Samurai would also carry a third blade, the Tanto knife, in a small scabbard attached to the Saya, the Katana's scabbard. The Katana/Wakizashi pair was more than just weaponry for the Samurai: the pair of swords represented his honor, his glory, and his success. A higher quality, more ornate weapon could only be afforded if the Samurai was paid better by his lord, and thus was thought of as a better warrior than the average. There was a quasi-spiritual relationship between the Samurai and his blades. The Katana and Wakizashi were held in the highest respect by their wielder; After all the blades represented the Samurai's livelihood and literally meant the difference between his life and death.
Because of the high regard it was paid by the Samurai, and by Japanese society as a whole, the art of forging a Katana was one of the most well-studied and perfected arts in Japan. Compared to any counterparts from across the globe, the Katana's construction was centuries ahead of its time. The Katana was forged from hundreds of infinitesimally thin layers of the purest steel available. This made the Katana far stronger for its weight, because its blade had no impurities, no defects, and no weak points. The length of the blade in relation to its curvature was the focus of countless centuries of study, resulting by around 1200 AD in a blade that has to date never been matched in perfection.
Our company Katana Coaching was inspired by the history of the sword of the ancient Samurai. It is the tradition, precision and accuracy on how we implement our coaching beliefs and business strategies.

Quantifying Ignorance: A Quantitative Analysis of Skeptical Scenarios in Peter Unger's 'Ignorance'
© 2011, Anthony Parisi
In his book Ignorance, Peter Unger puts forward scenarios meant to illustrate the skeptical view of knowledge and why it is wrong to be certain. In my paper I will examine three sorts of these examples using tools of quantitative analysis: the Ink Bottle, the Voice, and the Scientist, taking each of these to be a typical example of a skeptical scenario. After presenting possible skeptical objections to this sort of analysis, I end by concluding that methods of quantitative analysis stand up to the sort of skepticism that Unger provides and that under most quantitative analysis provides us with a better tool for understanding skeptical scenarios than the skeptic's dismissal of the possibility of knowledge.

Monet's Water Garden at Giverny
Claude Monet wanted to extend his gardens at Giverny beyond the walls of his flower garden, Clos Normand. In the 1890s, he purchased adjacent property along a stream to create a pond and water garden.
To reach the pond, visitors walk through a tunnel beneath a road to reach the pathways leading to, and around, the water gardens. All along the shady paths, azaleas, rhododendron and other spring-flowering shrubs are in bloom in riotous colors of yellow, orange, pink and white. The textures of the weeping willows and the Japanese maple trees add to a sense of tapestry as you glance across the pond.
The arched, green Monet bridge is draped with the lavender wisteria that is depicted in so many of Monet's paintings. The famous water lilies float on the pond, but are not in bloom in spring - they will bloom in the summer.
When funds were raised to restore Monet's gardens, the pond had to be completely dug out again. The water gardens are a restoration interpretation, based upon Monet's his paintings and photographs. Liste des plantes et des fleurs du jardin de Claude Monet provides a list of plants in the gardens of Impressionist artist, Claude Monet.
We walked counterclockwise from the approach to Monet's bridge, waiting until we had circled the pond before crossing over it. This area of Monet's gardens is quiet, shady and so peaceful.

Shale Gas has proved to be a game changer in the US energy market, where its rapid increase in production is about to make the nation self-supplied with respect to gas and consequently drastically lowered the import of LNG (only 10% of the regasification capacity is required now ). It has also lowered the internal gas prices (from an average of near $9/MBtu in 2008 to below $3/MBtu in 2012i) and created new jobs (shale gas supported 600 000 U.S jobs in 2010 ). Shale gas source rocks are widely distributed around the world, and looking to the US, many nations have now started to investigate their shale gas possibilities.
Fossil fuels, such as oil, natural gas and coal are by far the largest sources of energy in the EU and are projected to dominate the European energy mix through to at least 2030. The 2°C Scenario of the Energy Technology Perspectives (IEA/OCDE) predicts decay in natural gas production after peaking in 2030. However, the share of unconventional gas worldwide is expected to increase from 12% (2009) to 24% (2035) and 34% (2050).
The European Commission Energy Roadmap 2050 identifies gas as a critical fuel for the transformation of the energy system in the direction of more renewables and lower CO2 emissions. It can be argued that in Europe natural gas replacing coal and oil undoubtedly will contribute to emission reduction in the short and medium term, and that natural gas will have a permanent role in the future energy mix provided a solution with CCS.
The most important European driver for shale gas development is the potential for higher security of energy supply, since Europe currently imports 60% of its gas requirements, a number that is projected to rise to 80% by 2030. In some EU countries close to hundred percent of the gas is imported from Russia. The possibility for lower energy prices that might come as the shale gas technology and experience develop is also a factor that is mentioned, as well as the possibility for jobs created by the shale gas industry.
There are, however, several concerns related to shale gas exploration and production. The most frequently discussed ones are faith of chemical additives to in the water used during production, and in particular risk of polluting the ground water. There is also a debate on the GHG emissions of shale gas (CO2 and methane) and its energy efficiency compared to other energy sources. Concerns are also raised about land and surface impacts, noise and micro seismic events created by the production method.
There are also questions about the total potential of shale gas in Europe as a whole and in the member states, since there is relatively little knowledge on the source rocks for the gas, their quality and distribution and how easily producible the gas is.
Shale Gas basins are unevenly distributed among the EU member states and are not restricted within national borders, so EU co-operation issues related to rights and cost-benefit sharing will have to be addressed. The basins are transnational and knowledge could be easily transferred from one European country to another.
With the European continent being densely populated, public perception issues will most certainly arise. Even though a recent study performed by the European Commission has concluded that its existing legal framework was adequate to address shale gas extraction , there are, in terms of policies some points are not covered. Although different countries may have different political position, a sound common European knowledge basis could be helpful to this respect.
The bottom line is that Shale Gas issues may well affect EU even if individual European countries choose not to pursue this resource. It is a potential opportunity for Europe, but requires a rapid and comprehensive response in terms of assessment of potential, technology, regulation and a facing a range of policy issues. Member states with an identified shale gas potential are already starting to act.

To Alexander Hamilton from Rufus King, 9 November 1798
From Rufus King
London Nov. 9. 1798
Dear sir
The same uncertainty continues respecting the recommencement of the war. Both austria & Prussia are bolder than before the late naval success of this Country,1 but the conduct of the Emperor2 is rather calculated to shew that he may be purchased by further acquisitions in Italy. Naples will not decline a war;3 her existence perhaps depends upon his provoking it. The Casus fœderis with austria is a defensive war; but the Emperor has said he should not be critical on that Head. The news of the Capitulation of Buonaparte and the Destruction of the transports at Alexandria is not confirmed, tho' they are events which must take place. The Expeditions agt. Ireland are annihilated—of the Nine ships that sailed from Brest seven including the Hoche are in the English Ports4—the two frigates that escaped from the Texel have both been taken,5 and of three that sailed from Rochefort, & appeared off Ireland soon after the defeat of the Brest squadron, two are said to be taken.6
The Dutch frigates were probably bound to Demarara, tho the Soldiers were told they were to go to Ireland.
Parliament meets on the 20th. Mr. Pitt will have a good account to give of the extension of their Commerce and of the increase of the Revenue. The assessed taxes which have been shamefully evaded will be given up, and a tax upon the income of the nation substituted.7 There will be great Difficulties in the Details, as well as strong prejudices to overcome, but I hear that the Body of Merchants in London are to support the Plan.8 The late naval Success has excited a high degree of animation throughout the nation, and the Govt. will be generally and cordially supported in such measures as it shall adopt to prosecute the war. The funds have got up to 57. pr Ct. which is a great rise and in a short time. You will see that I have prevented the sending to you of about fifty Irish State Prisoners, who were at the head of the Rebellion in Ireland and closely connected with the Directory of Paris.9 Probably our Patriots will think my conduct presumptuous.
In the present posture of our affairs I could have no hesitation! We have an account that the Constellation Cap Truxton has taken a french frigate on our Coast.10
This news is brought by Cap Cochran of the Thetis,11 who will not be permitted to return to the amer. station.
Yrs very truly
PS. The Hamburgh mail just arrived, informs us that very great Resistance is made to the Requisition of 200.000 men in Belgium. 12.000 young men are embodied, and the spirit of Revolt extends itself every hour! The scene is too near the army of the Rhine.

1. This is a reference to the Battle of the Nile, August 1, 1798.
2. Francis II of Austria. On November 10, 1798, King wrote to Timothy Pickering: "The same uncertainty continues with respect to the recommencement of the war between Austria and France, and for nearly three weeks we are without any precise information from France" (LS, RG 59, Despatches from United States Ministers to Great Britain, 1791–1906, Vol. 7, January 9–December 22, 1798, National Archives).
3. On October 15, 1798, The [London] Times reported: "A long article in the Redacteur, relative to the hostile preparations of the Court of Naples, confirms the general opinion that a rupture between the French Republic and that Court will shortly take place." Four days later The Times stated: "Hostilities between the King of Naples and France appear every day more inevitable."
5. On November 6, 1798, The [London] Times printed a report from Hull dated November 3. This report reads: "The Sirius frigate, of 36 guns, Capt. [Richard] King, arrived in the Humber yesterday, with the Fury, Dutch frigate of 36 guns, in tow. Capt. King fell in with this frigate and another of 26 guns, off the Texel; the latter he took without exchanging a shot, and immediately sent her for Yarmouth Roads, and then went in pursuit of the Fury. After a long chace and running fight of 40 minutes, he obliged her to strike to the superior gallantry of British seamen. She had 500 men, including soldiers, on board, and a large quantity of stores, soldier's arms, baggage &c. It is reported that the Sirius had one man killed, and one wounded; the Dutch frigate had ten men killed and several wounded. The Officers and Men are all Frenchmen, and are intended to be landed here.…" Richard King's official dispatch describing the captures is printed in The [London] Times, November 7, 1798.
6. On October 20, 1798, The [London] Times reported: "The three French frigates which appeared on the 13th in Donegal Bay, left it, without any serious attempt to land. They are supposed to be wholly detached from the larger squadron [which had sailed from Brest], and to have sailed from Rochefort." On October 23 the same paper stated: "Several private letters by the Dublin Mail … contain the very agreeable news, that the three frigates, which appeared off Donegal Bay on the 13th instant, had been driven into Sligo Bay, but whether by stress of weather, or by the squadron of Sir George Home, is not mentioned. But the … Government has received no official information on the subject."
7. For William Pitt's proposals to Parliament, see The Annual Register, or a View of the History, Politics, and Literature, for the Year 1799 (London, 1813), 174–77.
8. On November 9, 1798, The [London] Times reported that "the Committee for superintending the Voluntary Contributions" resolved: "That the Committee was determined to give their most decided support to every measure of finance which could give stability to Government, and distribute the burthens equally among all classes of society; that it was, however, with concern the Committee had learnt that the Assessed Taxes had been in many instances most shamefully evaded, while in other cases they did not reach those who were best able to pay them;—they therefore begged leave to recommend to the Minister some other mode of taxation, which would oblige every man to contribute in proportion to his means."
9. On July 28, 1798, King wrote to Pickering: "In Ireland the Rebellion is at an end …; many of the inferior chiefs will be permitted to go into Exile. I … hope the President will have Power to exclude from our Country all such foreigners whose residence among us would be dangerous …" (ALS, RG 59, Despatches from United States Ministers to Great Britain, 1791–1906, Vol. 7, January 9–December 22, 1798, National Archives). On September 13 King wrote to Pickering warning him of the possibility that the leaders of the Irish rebellion might end up as exiles in the United States (ALS, RG 59, Despatches from United States Ministers to Great Britain, 1791–1906, Vol. 7, January 9–December 22, 1798, National Archives). On September 13 and October 17 King wrote to William Henry Cavendish Bentinck, third duke of Portland, asking for some assurances that the rebel leaders would not be permitted to settle in the United States (copies, RG 59, Despatches from United States Ministers to Great Britain, 1791–1906, Vol. 7, January 9–December 22, 1798s, National Archives). On September 22 the Duke of Portland wrote to King: "I can assure you with the most perfect confidence that the King will never permit any of the persons in question to set his foot in the Territory of any state in amity with his Majesty, by whom there is any reason to suppose that such a visitor would be objected to" (copy, RG 59, Despatches from United States Ministers to Great Britain, 1791–1906, Vol. 7, January 9–December 22, 1798, National Archives). See also the Duke of Portland to Charles Cornwallis, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, October 17, 1798 (copy, RG 59, Despatches from United States Ministers to Great Britain, 1791–1906, Vol. 7, January 9–December 22, 1798, National Archives).
10. On November 9, 1798, The [London] Times reported: "The American frigate Constellation, of 36 guns, has captured a French frigate of 44 guns, after a severe and well-fought action, off the Coast of America." This report was not correct.
11. Sir Alexander Forester Inglis Cochrane. See H to King, June 6, 1798.
On October 31, 1798, The [London] Times reported that "… the Thetis frigate, Capt. Cochrane, from Halifax" arrived on October 29 in Portsmouth.

How Much Would Santa Make?
Insure.com's annual survey measures the value of Santa based on an analysis of wage data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In 2014, he made $139,924 — a 4% increase from 2013, when he made $137,795.
And that compares to 2012: $134,944; and 2011: $132,950.
"Santa's salary continues to climb, showing that the various jobs and roles in which he immerses himself continue to increase in value," says Jennifer Shelton, managing editor of Insure.com.
She adds, "The expertise needed to perform all of Santa's duties is staggering. From aerospace to customer service, agriculture to upper management, he really does it all. So we're pleased to find that Santa is due another bump in pay this year."
The highest-paying job for Santa is the one he does for most of the year: working in his workshop. As a manufacturing executive 364 days a year, eight hours a day, his annual earnings are $119,159.
Here are some other top-paying tasks for Santa.
Labor Negotiator: Elves may be hard workers, but that they still need to be managed. If he spent a half-hour each day managing the elves, his annual earnings would be $5,212 for this task.
Farmworker and Rancher: Reindeer may fly, but they can't take care of themselves on land. Spending just one hour a day at this duty, Santa's annual pay would be $4,417.
Snow Plow Driver: The North Pole can't function if the roads are filled with snow. Working a half-hour per day for 360 days clearing roads, he would earn $3,279.
Customer Service: To promote his brand and provide customer service to all, Santa visits malls to speak with children each winter season. As a customer service representative working eight hours a day for 21 days, he would earn $2,737.
Professional Shopper: Santa's workshop may make most of the toys, but Santa must still select just the right item for each person on his list. Working eight hours a day for 15 days, his annual earnings would be $2,195.
Announcing, "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!" takes
hardly any time, and thus pays Santa the least — a mere 18 cents.
