Point # 1 was, "LOOKING AROUND BRINGS DISCOURAGMENT:
Discouragement: Depression of one's spirit. What are some of the causes?
Look at Moses when he was displeased and discouraged in Numbers 11:10-15.
Look at Joshua 7:7-9 after the loss of Ai.
Look at Elijah under the juniper tree in I Kings 19:4.
Look carefully at the wise preacher Solomon in Ecclesiastes 7:23-29.
What are some of the remedies for disillusionment?
- Presence of God.
God said to Elijah, "What doest thou here, Elijah?" 1 Kings 19:9-18. Elijah fled to Mt. Horeb, the mountain of God where God met with Moses.
- Proper casting.
"Cast thy burden upon The Lord, for He careth for you." Psalm 55:22.
- Pointed prayer.
Mark 6:31 "Come ye apart … and rest awhile." Jesus often went alone to pray and rest.
- Practical preparation.
Luke 21:28, "For your redemption draweth nigh."
We need to get ready for the coming of the Son of Man.

how to create run-time variable
I've used Data Assist to create a search.php and result.php page similar to the tutorial.
The searching works fine, but I have one small problem.
One of the search fields is a field called "funder". It is a dropdown that shows the Funder's Name as text, but searches on the ID field, "funder_id".
On the results page, I want to show the funder, but all i can show is the funder's ID -- example, Funder:3. What I want to show is: Funder: Federal Government -- the label/name field.
So I create another recorset from the table of Funders and filter it with the results of the main 'results' recordset:
FROM tbl_funder
WHERE funder_ID = colname
Name: colname
Type: Integer
Default Value: -1
Run-Time Value: $row_rs_products['Funding_Source']
This value doesn't work for some reason. Assuming that I have the field names right, what else could be wrong? This does not return the "Funding_Source" for each result record.
I'm guessing I don't know how to properly define the "Run-Time Value" properly?
thanks for any help.

Fees reduced for energy efficient permits
Most homeowners like the idea of going green – until they get the bill. Good news for consumers who have had to restructure their remodeling budgets in Encinitas, city council members have agreed to waive the permitting fees for installing energy efficient appliances and systems in homes throughout the city, despite the possibility of losing money for its operating budget. The council first agreed restructuring the fees earlier this year in an effort to encourage residents to make their homes more environmentally friendly (some fees can reach up to $400, depending on what's being installed).
In retrospect, the city collects nearly $40,000 annually by issuing permits for installation of solar panels, solar water heaters and electric vehicle stations. Much of that money goes to EsGil, a San Diego based company that inspects those appliances for potential safety hazards and other issues. The city's move to waive the fees can result in a loss of about $14,500 for their operating budget.
For the consumer, being earth-conscious isn't always easy. But if more cities like Encinitas can waive their fees, going "green" can become much more accommodating to people's wallets.

London to Monaco 2020
After a hugely successful 2019 ride which raised an impressive £600,000 for ocean conservation, we are excited to be launching the fifth annual London to Monaco cycle ride which will mark BLUE's 10th Anniversary.
Find out details and secure your place!
Watch the 2018 film:
For all enquiries about taking part or sponsorship opportunities please email: firstname.lastname@example.com
"Oceans are more than ever at the heart of our common future. The London to Monaco Cycle Ride is a wonderful opportunity to raise awareness on the necessity to protect our fragile oceans."
HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco
"Icon connect are proud to have supported Blue Marine since the beginning of this epic journey and applaud the tangible results of their many marine conservation projects. We can't wait to hear the plans for 2019 and remain committed to supporting L2M."
Glyn Hutchinson, Icon Connect
"Vita was delighted to support the 2018 L2M ride. It was a tremendously successful event, and typical of BLUE's clearsighted and inventive approach to raising both funds and awareness on behalf of the world's oceans. Our electric powerboat business was founded to prove that environmentalism and the luxury yachting industry can exist side by side, so we view our work with BLUE as a natural extension of our core philosophy and we are very pleased that our partnership will be continuing for a long time to come."
Stewart Wilkinson, Founder & Chairman of Vita Yachts
"It is beyond any doubt that the health of the oceans has a direct bearing on the welfare of the entire planet and each of us bears a responsibility for the impact we have on the marine environment. I fully support the aims and objectives of the Blue Marine Foundation; they continue to not only raise awareness, but actively deliver workable and sustainable solutions – a vested interest from which we all benefit and a cause that I am wholly committed to."
James Hopkins, Executive Chairman of the group
"Artemis are delighted to support the Blue Marine Foundation and L2M. We all know the issues we face in our oceans. We are inspired and encouraged by the action that BLUE takes to help arrest or reverse the damage that's been done and applaud the part they are playing in protecting our oceans and seas."
Caroline O'Donnell, Artemis Investment Management
"Lending our support to London to Monaco was our absolute pleasure. We congratulate all those who took part and their record-breaking achievements both in terms of fundraising and promoting the important work of BLUE. Continuing the sporting theme, we were also able to raise significant funds for Blue Marine Foundation's marine preservation projects at The Pinmar Golf event this year and will continue to in years to come."
Remy Millott, Chief Executive Officer of GYG
"We are proud to support Blue Marine Foundation again this year on their challenging London to Monaco cycling tour and especially their efforts in protecting the ocean."
Timo Holthoff, Managing Director, Tai Ping
"I've already signed up to do the L2M (for the 4th year in a row!) because the money we raise helps BLUE in highly practical and effective ways. But there's more to it than that. I'm committed to be part of the L2M's ongoing success because I want to show my young son how anything is possible when we take action and pull together to tackle big challenges."
Bill Springer Journalist (Forbes, Ocean Home and yachting magazines)
"A 7 day, 1100Km trans-European cycle ride as preparation for the 2018 Monaco Yacht Show raised a few eyebrows when the idea was first circulated. In fact that 7 days turned out to be one of the great weeks of my life. Thank you to the Blue Marine Foundation for your insightful planning, the itinerary and the great 'Just Pedal' and 'Climpson & Sons' support. Thank you also for putting together such a great group of people to ride with and for all your hard work fundraising. Alongside our own Y.CO #Clearwater initiative, Charlie and I and our team at Y.CO all believe in the great work of BLUE, and will always support BLUE in whichever we way we can in the future. Sign us up for L2M 2019!!"
Gary Wright, Co-Founder, Y.CO
"I feel proud about completing this ride from London to Monaco. I have gained so much: new friends, new sport and donations to help protect the ocean."
Nicolas Fry, Camper & Nicholsons
"Mountains, picturesque rolling roads through the Autumn colours of Provence and the Cote d'azur finishing at the Prince's Palace of Monaco with a bunch of awesome people, that pretty much sums up the London to Monaco. A fantastic experience for a very important cause 'helping save our worlds Oceans' with a group of likeminded people, cycling through some of the most beautiful places in the world. This would have to be one of the best charity rides I've ever taken part in."
Tiffany Cromwell, Canyon-Sram Pro cyclist, 2017 rider

text: BUSINESS Google, Comcast outlay a concern 4:00 AM PST 2/6/2007 by Georg Szalai , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Empty NEW YORK -- Internet bellwether Google Inc. and cable giant Comcast Corp. reported strong fourth-quarter results that blew past expectations in key areas last week. But their stocks came under initial pressure as investors seemed concerned about increased investments in developing businesses. In the case of Google, fourth-quarter revenue exceeded Wall Street expectations, but its bottom line was just in line with estimates due to investments in new products.In the end, though, many Street observers lauded the company for looking ahead and building future businesses."Google's market share gain is driven by investments in new distribution partnerships, headcount and infrastructure," Jefferies & Co. analyst Youssef Squali said in a report. "These investments are crucial to supporting new opportunities like social networking, video, mobile and radio, which are key to Google's long-term growth." He raised some of his financial estimates for Comcast upwards, reiterated his "buy" rating and boosted his price target from $520 to $600.Similarly, Goldman Sachs analyst Anthony Noto said: "We recommend buying Google with 25% upside to our year-end price target of $620," which he argued is "conservative" and could well end up being $670. In the case of Comcast, 2007 guidance for capital expenditures that came in well above Wall Street expectations dragged down the stock, even though management emphasized they will spend the capital to sign up more users to its various services than in 2006. Analysts came to Comcast's defense, saying the spending will allow the cable operator to gain a further edge over satellite TV and telecom rivals. "We estimate the returns on invested capital (25%+) justify the spending," said Merrill Lynch analyst Jessica Reif Cohen. "(This year) represents a unique and compelling opportunity for Comcast, the country's largest cable operator, to capture market share, solidify its existing base and position the company longer term to capture an increased share of consumer leisure/communication spend."She cited the example of Cablevision Systems, which "aggressively rolled out the triple play (product bundle) in 2004 prior to the launch of Verizon's FiOS video service, achieving industry-leading digital penetration" and thereby providing "an apt road map for the efficacy of Comcast's strategy."
