Pablo Gimenez-Zapiola creates drive-by art with poetic intent
Pablo Gimenez-Zapiola, a lanky and loose-limbed Argentinean, had a bit of a mad scientist vibe going on outside the raw, industrial-looking East End artists' compound El Rincón Social.
Cheerfully disheveled in a paint-splattered T-shirt and orange pants, he was waiting for the sun to go down while tinkering with an unusual contraption inside his 2007 Toyota Yaris.
On a board propped across the front passenger's seat he'd fastened a video camera, a still-image camera and an old-school slide projector that was connected to a laptop.
He was preparing for a rehearsal run of his art project "Eastext," a collaboration with five Houston poets that involves three events, including the final one this Thursday at Box13 Art Space.
Each "Eastext" event starts with a "projection performance" - which means Gimenez-Zapiola cruises around the neighborhood for about 45 minutes, projecting text from about 20 poems, one line at a time, onto everything he drives by.
He'll provide the audience with maps so they can follow him or wait at several sites where he'll make repeat passes. For those who prefer their art stationary, Gimenez-Zapiola also is creating floor-to-ceiling fabric installations at each venue where he'll project the poems at different angles, in letters and broken-up text that won't be legible.
More Information
Pablo Gimenez-Zapiola: 'Eastext'
When: 6:30-8:30 p.m. Thursday
Where: Box 13, 6700 Harrisburg
Info: Free; pablogimenezzapiola.com/eastext
"It's not the point to read the poems there. That's just an installation - a totally different thing," he said. He'll also talk about the project, and poets Eloísa Pérez-Lozano, John Pluecker, Vanessa Torres, Holly Lyn Walrath and Gwendolyn Zepeda will read their work.
Gimenez-Zapiola positioned his car so he could calibrate the text, projecting onto El Rincón's metal facade through the passenger's window before the night's rehearsal drive.
"I'm an architect, so I like straight lines," he said. "I was trained in modern movements, Bauhaus style. It gave me a great platform to work."
I sat in the back as Gimenez-Zapiola drove slowly through the neighborhood.
"I'm going 24," he said. "Very safe."
The projector and camera click-clicked, random staccato notes in what seemed an otherwise still night as Gimenez-Zapiola punched a remote-control button with one hand.
"I like that analog component. I like to have a connection with the poem myself," he said.
He had no idea what his cameras were recording, but he expected he'd find "little treasures" in the digital files the next morning. That documentation is what he exhibits and sells. It's not something he could ever reproduce, even if he knew where, exactly, the photos and videos were taken - the light wouldn't be the same, or the position of his car.
"I like that. I don't want to have any control of the project," he said. "The only control is just shooting and driving. I'm not looking for something specific in the area, but I have a dialogue with it."
Some of the poems are written in Spanish, some in English, reflecting the makeup of the East End.
As we crossed McKinney Street I kept my gaze on the spectacle as the lighted text flickered across buildings, fences, doors, light poles, empty space - sometimes fractured, sometimes disappearing.
Even as slow as we were going, I couldn't follow much word logic. This was a different kind of poetry, fleeting, eerily voiceless and kinetically thrilling.
"The words are dancing. They have life in themselves," Gimenez-Zapiola said, as if he were reading my mind.
A few other drivers navigated around us, seemingly oblivious.
"Very few notice it. Or if they see the words, I don't know if they relate the words to me," Gimenez-Zapiola said.
He first came to Houston in 2000, fleeing Argentina's troubled economy and political environment. With a wife and three children, who are now grown, Gimenez-Zapiola has been employed for years, off and on, as a graphic designer.
"I came looking for a job, not to become an artist," he said.
But Houston's long freight trains fascinated him. Endlessly. "We don't have anything like that in Argentina," he said.
It was like facing a mountain he couldn't resist climbing: He wanted to make art with them and somehow came up with the idea to project words from the dictionary onto the moving trains.
Just one problem: His slide projector needed a power source.
A few years later, he found a house with electricity next to some active tracks, and he produced a body of photographs that he eventually took to a portfolio review at the FotoFest Biennial.
"It was the first portfolio review in my life. A very strange project - projections onto trains," he said. But he was quickly chosen for a "Discoveries of the Meeting Place" show, and suddenly, life as an artist started looking better than his other options. He's been laid off more than once by oil and gas companies.
He won an individual artist grant from the Houston Arts Alliance to create "Eastext." And his market value may be rising.
Gimenez-Zapiola recently finished his most plum commission yet: projections for elevators at the soon-to-open George Hotel in College Station, which also bought his photographs for many of the guest rooms.
"That will bring exposure," he said. "I feel glad this year, but it most likely won't happen again next year, so I have to keep the ball rolling."
He sent me a few photographs the next morning from our ride. None of them looked familiar, but they were beautiful and evocative.

Lifting the veil of anti-Semitism
March 15, 2017
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Entire senate urges the Trump administration to swiftly address concerns of growing hate crimes, against Jews in America.
All 100 senators unanimously agreed, in a letter signed March 7, that it is incumbent upon the new administration to deal with what appears to be loosed anti-Semitism, under the Trump administration. The Senate gives approval of the administration's recent attempt to denounce hate and violence, however say they are deeply troubled by the string of anonymous bomb threats targeting Jewish Community Centers (JCCs), Jewish Day Schools, Synagogues as well as other Jewish-affiliated institutions around America.
They believe the threats of violence at individual JCCs are not isolated incidents. They say, "According to the Jewish Federation of North America, in the first two months of 2017 alone, at least 98 incidents against JCCs and Jewish Day Schools at 81 locations in 33 states have been reported." In addition to the desecration of Jewish headstones in St. Louis and Philadelphia cemeteries.
JCCs in San Diego have also received bomb threats in recent weeks. Fox5 reports that in early March police were summoned to the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center in University City, to investigate what Fox5 says is yet "another in a series of bogus bomb threats against JCCs."
The San Diego police received the call, from administrators, early March 4, to report "menacing" emails they received, according to Fox5. They say no evacuation was ordered by police, unlike the last time they received such a threat, however bomb sniffing dogs were utilized to sweep the building for hazardous materials.
Commonly when people think about anti-Semitism they reflect on the Holocaust. Most American school children learn about the diary of Anne Frank and the abominable actions of the Nazis. And though Hitler did not invent anti-Semitism, he and the Nazis amplified and exported it.
Anti-Semitism can be complex for a variety of reasons; namely because there are multiple avenues in which it can present itself. The most predominant reasons for negativity towards the Jews are racially and or religiously motivated. They stem from the period that Jesus is presumed to have been crucified.
According to the book of Matthew featured in the new testament, Jewish leaders brought Jesus before Pontius Pilate (a Roman authority) demanding his crucifixion. Britannica explains "Although Jesus of Nazareth and his disciples were practicing Jews and Christianity is rooted in the Jewish teaching of monotheism, Judaism and Christianity became rivals soon after Jesus was crucified."
In recent history, the Roman Catholic Church has accepted Judaism as a legitimate and continuing religion. They also exonerated Jewish people by establishing what Britannica calls "universal responsibility," for the crucifixion. However, it should have already been difficult to argue that an entire race of people was responsible for what potentially occurred so long ago.
Stephen Baxter works at San Diego's first cigar shop, Racine & Laramie, in Old Town, San Diego. He said he is "Jewish by blood, not by practice." He mentioned that living on the West coast gives the illusion that things have cooled, but said the East Coast can provide a sober reminder.
Racine & Laramie opened in 1868 and 21 years later in 1889, San Diego's first synagogue, Temple Beth Israel, was erected no more than a mile away. Sdparks.org says the temple "Is a fine example of the Victorian architecture of wealthy San Diego residents in the late 1880s-1890s." The temple remains in Heritage County Park, which is adjacent to Old Town and is City Historic Site #82.
After WWII, negativity towards the Jews became increasingly unpopular in America, as did other anti-European racism. Karen Brodkin explains, in her book "How Did Jews Become White Folks?" that "American anti-Semitism was part of a broader pattern of late-nineteenth-century racism against all southern and eastern European immigrants, as well as against Asian immigrants."
The end of WWII left America standing with the strongest economy in the world. Thus, providing economic advancements and opportunities for all European immigrants, not just the Nordic and Anglo-Saxon ones; who considered themselves to be superior and the true Americans. Brodkin says "I continue to be surprised to read that America did not always regard its immigrant European workers as white, that they thought people from different nations were biologically different."
She goes into detail about how the changing economy, after the war, led to upwards mobility for Jewish Americans; she also notes that the same advantages were not granted to women or African Americans:
"The myth that Jews pulled themselves up by their own bootstraps ignores the fact that it took federal programs to create the conditions whereby the abilities of Jews and other European immigrants could be recognized and rewarded rather than denigrated and denied. The GI Bill and FHA and VA mortgages were forms of affirmative action that allowed male Jews and other Euro-American men to become suburban homeowners and to get the training that allowed them—but not women vets or war workers—to become professionals, technicians, salesmen, and managers in a growing economy. Jews' and other white ethnics' upward mobility was the result of programs that allowed us to float on a rising economic tide. To African Americans, the government offered the cement boots of segregation, redlining, urban renewal, and discrimination."
It is difficult to know the motivations of these menacing perpetrators, who go about making bomb threats to JCCs and desecrating grave sites. Or the particular brand of hatred that is responsible for such behavior in 21st century America. However, one thing seems to be clear, Jewish people were not a socially privileged class in America and by some phenomena are still being terrorized; and potentially more so under America's 45th president, Donald Trump.

Posted Wednesday, April 1, 2009 12:00 AM | Contributed by Jeff
Despite the addition of more trees, aggressive promotion and solid attendance, Charmland today announced that it would not open for the 2009 season. Apparently the "Most Charming Park" award from readers of Amusement Today was not enough to sustain it.
Read more from the official Charmland USA site.
UPDATE 2:43p Eastern: Charmland has been purchased by a new owner with an aggressive capital expenditure program. Check the updated site.
UPDATE 10:02p Pacific: President Obama announces that the federal government will bailout Charmland after Five Flags failed to keep the park afloat. Visit the official site for the details.
Hopefully new investors will get on board and open this park again in 2010.
Maybe with a more family friendly theme.
Hold on!!! When did Charmland have a luxury resort?
And what is the deal keeping the upcharge attraction open?
Even if this park opens in the future, I am officially on the boycott list.

Great April Fool's gag.
That sucks, possibly those mandatory coin lockers for the High Speed Thrill Slide would have saved this place.
I went there once, but I brought my own trees and sat in the parking lot. It was a lot cheaper that way.

I'm not gonna lie - I'm a little sad that I can't renew my C-land Season Pass.
What, those cheap SOBs didn't comp you admission? No consideration for other Amusement Professionals?
No wonder they failed. Heartless.
What that park needs is q-bot!
The facebook page is an excellent touch! Good job!
"Move along.. nothing to see here" Aw Man! My sides hurt!
The updated site is even greater than the original. :)

Tax-efficient Investments
An expatriate who becomes tax resident in Portugal may wish to consider cross-border investments to manage their tax liability and/or control when tax charges are made. In Portugal, life bonds held for longer than eight years are treated more favourably for taxation purposes than mutual funds, while investors looking for an actively managed proposition will find that their assets are sheltered from capital gains charges in a life bond.
Investments in a cross-border life product grow virtually free of tax throughout the time the product is held, suffering only a small amount of irrecoverable withholding tax on investment funds located in certain countries. They allow policyholders, in general, to manage when they take benefits and potentially to defer the benefits to a period that may be more advantageous from a taxation perspective.
Investment Choice
Cross-border bonds generally feature a wide range of funds specifically tailored to fit with expatriate clients preferences and attitude to risk. They also offer access to international and specialist fund managers which may not be available in domestic fund and insurance markets.
Non-Portugal Situs Assets
Expatriates who are non-resident in Portugal for tax purposes may be advised to use crossborder investments, including cross-border life products, rather than domestic Portuguese investments, to keep their assets outside of Portugal and avoid creating Portuguese-sourced investment income.
Estate Planning
Expatriates, such as UK domiciled individuals looking to mitigate UK inheritance tax, may wish to consider estate planning options such as a cross-border bond held in an appropriate trust, if UK or Irish law applies to the policy. If the policy is written under the laws of another EU country, a policyholder can normally nominate beneficiaries to receive the policy benefits.
Designed for Expatriates
Most companies offering cross-border life products are subsidiaries of global financial services companies specialising in dealing with expatriates on a multi-lingual, multi-currency basis.
Cross-border products can offer significant benefits over and above what might be available in the local domestic markets, particularly in relation to product features, investment flexibility and investment choice.
The cross-border life companies are regulated in first class jurisdictions which benefit from strong regulatory controls.
A cross-border product has the flexibility to adapt to changes in your individual circumstances, including changes in your residency status.

Lentil and Spinach Dhal. This is soup inspired by my mother.
I must have watched my momma make dhal over a thousand times. It's an ever-present side dish to every West Indian meal and she has perfected it. While her dal is made with yellow split peas (dal means split in Sanskrit) I used red split lentils instead and threw in fresh, organic chopped spinach.
Other than the lovely bite of the spinach, my favorite thing about this soup is how well it holds up to and translates the heat of the scotch bonnet pepper. But even without it, this soup is delicious and satisfying.
Should I even bother to mention how good it is for you? It's vegan, gluten-free, packed with protein and takes almost no time to prepare. You really have to make this for dinner tonight!
Lentil and Spinach Soup
1 cup red split lentils
4 cups spinach, chopped into ½ inch pieces
4 cups water
1 onion chopped
5 cloves garlic, cut in half
1 tsp garam masala (or ½ tsp coriander and ½ tsp cumin)
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp curry powder
½ tsp cayenne pepper
½ tsp chili powder
1 scotch bonnet pepper (omit if don't want the heat)
1tbsp coconut oil
salt and pepper
- Heat oil, add onion and sauté until translucent. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Add spices and cook 3-5 minutes stirring occasionally.
- Add lentils and cook 1 minute. Add water and pepper. Simmer on medium-high heat for 20 minutes.
- Mash/whisk soup, making sure to mash the garlic cloves. Be careful not to crush the scotch bonnet pepper unless you want to create an inferno in the soup. You can take it out for this step and return it once finished.
- Simmer for 10 minutes or until lentils are melted. Turn off the heat, add spinach and stir until lightly wilted. Serve. You may discard the pepper or if you're me, throw it in your soup bowl!

For those of us who wear glasses, gone are the days of settling for big, ill-fitting frames. Nowadays, glasses are supposed to match your persona without sacrificing their functionality or taking away your pizzazz. When navigating through Warby Parker's gallery, it is crystal clear that Warby Parker is aware that one frame does not in fact fit all. Warby Parker is an online and brick-and-mortar retail supplier of inexpensively priced prescription glasses, sunglasses, and glass accessories. They have something for everyone, for every style. Whether you are looking to change your persona, pick up a pair for a special occasion, or simply to find a brand-new tried-and-true standby, Warby Parker has got you covered. Warby Parker King Of Prussia
Warby Parker changed the prescription eyewear industry by being the pioneering company to sell prescription glasses on the internet and send them directly to your front door. While a lot considered that an enormous gamble, it paid off. The business sold around 20,000 pairs of eyeglasses online during its first year of operations.
When it later opened up retail shops, Warby Parker also revolutionized the images of wearing and shopping for prescription eyeglasses. Its stores are not stodgy and clinical. They are polished, stylish, well decorated, and pleasant. They are also filled with fashion-forward hipsters, who seem to be its most devout shoppers. Warby Parker can make you forget that there once was a period when people viewed eyeglasses as "nerdy".
Warby Parker King Of Prussia
Take a Peek at Warby Parker's Top 10 Glasses Available: Warby Parker King Of Prussia
These retro-inspired cat-eye glasses may remind you of your old Aunt Kathy – the one who donned the exact white cat-eyed eyeglasses with polka-dotted shift dresses in the early '70s till she turned 90 – but in the best, most stylish way achievable. If you like a refined look, this design is a fantastic choice. Warby Parker King Of Prussia
Clear glasses have been around quite a long time. People like them because they give the impression of being almost invisible from afar and go well with a nice, clean look. The Eugene Narrow eyeglasses are round and perfectly proportioned for smaller faces – if you don't like your frames taking over your face, this may be the perfect pick. The modest pink tint gives them a little something extra.
The Baker glasses have a traditional keyhole bridge with round lenses, and the Striped Sassafras tone is a subtle way to freshen things up – excellent for accomplishing a very smart look.
The Percey may seem much like the Baker at first glance. They are both round, medium-width glasses with keyhole bridges, and they both come in Striped Sassafras – but it's the tiny details that make all the distinctions: The Percey's lenses are more circular and its end pieces aren't quite as sharp. These differences make the Percey a slightly more easygoing alternative. Warby Parker King Of Prussia
Known for flattering nearly any face, the Wilkie is a good choice for the everyday guy or girl who does not want to worry too much about fashion. The Black Matte Eclipse style of these eyeglasses have a thin white border wrapped around the front. Nothing too loud – only a few extra fashion points.
The Welty is a modern take on a classic shape. Made from top cellulose acetate (like all of Warby Parker's non-metal frames, the eyeglasses have a curved browline and an eye-catching keyhole bridge. Think Nancy Drew: the youth figure who made it cool to be a nerd. These glasses are bigger than some, but not so large that they take over your face.
The Watts feels and looks carefree. Accessories have the potential to make or break an entire look: When it comes to our eyeglasses, we prefer to complement outfits, not detract or distract from them. These sleek eyeglasses do exactly that.
This pair's design is always fashionable. The Daisy is an artful spin on the classic cat-eye with thin eyewires and a sloping browline. Sport them with a little black dress or pair them with a clean-cut suit. These timeless eyeglasses will only complement your refined and contemporary style.
Blue is not a colour you see all that often in eyeglasses, but considering the Hardy in Striped Pacific, you need to wonder why. It is a straightforward, rectangular frame, but this oceanic hue makes it quite impressive.
Yes, we are mentioning the Wilkie again! We just love it that much. This Eastern Bluebird Fade color makes use of tortoise on top with a cool, translucent blue on the bottom. The distinction makes them look modern, but the neutral colors keep the eyeglasses compatible with about any ensemble. Warby Parker King Of Prussia
Warby Parker King Of Prussia
The frames on Warby Parker glasses are built with cellulose acetate, bought from a family-owned Italian company. Its glasses are assembled in China and built on the same production lines as almost all of its rivals, but because the company cuts out the middlemen, the costs are more affordable. After the raw materials are trimmed into face fronts with a high-tech CNC machine, it's tumbled with wood chips and polished by hand with a German wax compound. The eyeglasses are then carefully built and pushed through a sequence of quality checks. When you decide to purchase, a new set is manufactured just for you. Warby Parker custom-cuts and polishes the edges of the lenses, which have been infused with anti-reflective and scratch-resistant coatings. The glasses always come with impact-resistant polycarbonate lenses that block 100% of UVB and UVA rays. After the glasses are individually inspected and aligned, they are boxed up and ready for delivery right to your doorstep.
Lens Options
In addition to selling the usual single-vision lenses, progressive lenses, non-prescription glasses and readers, Warby Parker provides 2 lens style choices. These are:
Clear – Well, not just clear – really clear. These regular lenses are for people who like completely uncoloured vision indoors and out.
Light-responsive – These lenses cleverly counteract ultraviolet rays. They shift from absolutely clear indoors to dark grey outside, even on overcast days.
Warby Parker provides polycarbonate lenses along with any optical purchase. They are some of the most lightweight and impact-resistant lenses; and they come with the purchase price of the frames!
But if you want a higher quality lens, you may select from the following:
1.67 high-index lenses – These are perfect for those who have a strong prescription since they're up to 20% slimmer than polycarbonate lenses, although they cost an extra $30.
1.74 high-index lenses – Being up to 10% slimmer than 1.67 high-index lenses, these lenses are recommended for those who have an extremely high prescription. They cost an additional $130.
Want a certain coating on your lenses? No worries.
Warby Parker provides these coatings with all lenses at no additional payment:
Scratch resistance – This safeguards your lenses from daily wear and tear.
Anti-reflective – This coating relieves eye tension due to reflections and lessens glare.
Superhydrophobic – These lenses repel moisture to prevent smudging.
In terms of prescription sunglasses, Warby Parker provides all of the above and more! In addition to scratch resistance, they provide UV-protective lenses and polarization, which lessens glare from light ray reflection.
They also provide different lens style choices, from gradient transitions to solid to flash mirrored.
Warby Parker sells eyeglasses, sunglasses, and accessories on the internet and in retail stores – at relatively inexpensive price points. Because the company designs its glasses in-house, it is able to sell you all eyeglasses "Beginning at $95, with prescription lenses." Additionally, it is great that different lens coatings are included in the purchase price of every pair of eyeglasses. Certain lenses, such as slimmer lenses for very high prescriptions, go for a higher price.
The Maker Edition is currently the most costly collection on the website beginning at $195. The most affordable collection is Spring 2018, which starts at $95. This means that the normal pair of eyeglasses is $145 at present, which can be considered as middle range in the market. Warby Parker King Of Prussia
When it comes to sunglasses, the most costly collections are the Resort and Epigraph beginning at $145. The least expensive collection is Quintessentials at $95, making the median price point about $120. Once again, this is deemed mid-range and ideal for people who have a reasonable number of disposable income.
Shipping and Support Policy
Warby Parker offers free delivery and returns if you reside in the United States or Canada.
They have a 30-day, no-questions-asked coverage for all their frames, as well as a 1-year guarantee for all their lenses where they'll replace the scratched lenses at no expense over the first 12 months.
The minimum shipping time is very reasonable at 5 business days for non-prescription sunglasses. The maximum duration is a short wait for single-vision prescription sunglasses and progressive prescription glasses at 10-12 business days.
Warby Parker has the best customer care on our opinion. Customer support representatives are friendly, helpful, and attentive as they answered all our inquiries. You can reach the company by phone, email or live chat. The website is quite easy to navigate as well. Warby Parker even has an order guide and FAQ section to help you discover the ideal frames to match your style.
Warby Parker King Of Prussia
Home Try-on Service
One of the coolest things about Warby Parker is their "Home Try-On" service that really assists you to choose which frames will complement you.
All you need to do is choose five pairs of eyeglasses and they will be delivered to you for free. Then test them out for 5 days and find which ones you want. Buy your chosen frames online and you'll be given a fresh new pair. Lastly, after your 5 days are up, place your box in the mail with its prepaid return label.
Warby Parker Frames Quiz
If you need help choosing some glasses to try on, you can take the Warby Parker Frames Quiz. It only takes a few quick questions to ascertain which pair of glasses will be the best fit for you. Warby Parker King Of Prussia
Warby Parker prides themselves on being sustainable and eco-friendly in its operations. One of their fundamental principles as a business is to actively work on reducing its harm on the Earth. The organization is a 100 percent carbon-neutral eyewear producer. Also, Warby Parker actively works to reduce their impact on the environment by mapping out the greenhouse gas emissions from their frame manufacturing, to shipping, office work, and warehousing. They are making sure to offset their carbon so.
Warby Parker Gives Back
Another feature which makes Warby Parker alluring to clients is that they are very similar to TOMS Shoes, on the principle of purchase a pair and donate a pair of eyeglasses. When a pair is purchased they donate a pair to some person in need. They saw a need that people from around the world do not have the means to see clearly, which is a wide scale issue. Warby Parker is trying to address this issue by helping people access eyeglasses to be able to see.
Final Thoughts Warby Parker King Of Prussia
Warby Parker sells trendy eyewear classified into fun and unique collections for both women and men. Overall, our experience with Warby Parker has been overwhelmingly positive. The new eyeglasses are well-made and fit nicely, and the ordering procedure was simple and fun. If you are looking for a brand new pair of eyeglasses or sunglasses, I urge that you give Warby Parker a try.

On this day, 38 years ago, Edward Moore "Ted" Kennedy managed to kill off any hope that he would ever be president of the United States.
As well as a 28-year-old woman.
The Democratic Lion of the Senate drove his car off a bridge into water, swam to shore, went to his hotel, chatted with the clerk, then went to bed. In the morning, he notified authorities where he'd left the car — after he talked with his lawyer.
As well as where he left Mary Jo Kopechne, who drowned.
Teddy pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident after causing injury. He was given a suspended jail term and lost his license for a while.
We will likely never know the full story of what happened that night — why the two were together, what Ted's intentions were, just how Mary Jo died, why Ted spent so many hours before telling police about the crash — but one thing is certain: that incident alone was the primary reason he was never president.
That, however, did not keep the people of Massachusetts from re-electing him to the United States Senate in 1970.
And 1976.
And 1982.
And 1988.
And 1994.
And 2000.
And 2006.

Read the Boston Globe column / Click here
The Globe was way too lace curtain Irish to ever understand the real dynamics at work in Northern Ireland. It was always easier fro them to pin blame on those great unwashed republicans.
Even though peace has now become a reality, thanks in large part to those same Republicans, they continue to beat the old anti-Sinn Fein drum.
The latest attack is written by one Thomas Gagen, whose name has escaped us as a writer and expert on The Troubles up to now. He is apparently a member of the Boston Globe editorial board - which figures.
This latest article has to do with recent revelations about Gerry Adams and sexual abuse accusations against his brother and his father.
"In 1987 his niece Aine Tyrell told him that her father had sexually abused her from 1978, when she was 4, to 1983. Adams's cover-up of the allegations against his brother calls into question his political future," writes Gagen.
Adams did not "cover up" the allegations. He confronted his brother soon after he became aware of them - something Gagen refuses to mention.
Gagen also claims that Adams "did not go to the police in 1987," when Tyrell told him.
Go to the police? The hated RUC? When Aine Tyrell herself went they were more interested in turning her into an informer. As Gerry Moriarty reported in the Irish Times: "Áine's mother said the RUC seemed 'more interested in recruiting her as an informer than dealing with Áine's abusing father.'"
Gagen conveniently leaves that out.
The Boston Globe then attempts to throw Gerry Adams in with the Bishops, who covered up sex abuse in the south. "Adams kept quiet about his brother to protect the institution and cause he served, and like the bishops, he should face the consequences."
Not true. Adams did not keep quiet. Unlike the Bishops he confronted his brother and given that he could not go to the police, it was as much as he could do at the time.
Gagen ends his piece with hype of Ed Moloney's new book called "Voices from the Grave," which will appear next year. This will rehash a lot of old incidents from The Troubles. Moloney is an Adams critic and the book will be seen as such by Republicans. It is unlikely to have any impact. Gagen never refers to Moloney's reputation in this regard of course.
He suggests at the end of his article that Adams leave Sinn Fein and attend to his family. Maybe Gagen is the guy that should think of a new career with this kind of utterly biased journalism.

Dr David Mickel MBChB MRCGP- Founder and Director
David qualified as a Medical Doctor in 1992 before going on to specialise in General Practice in 1996. He developed an interest in CFS/ME and Fibromyalgia during this time and became frustrated by the lack of success of conventional and alternative treatments for the conditions. He spent a number of years researching and experimenting with a variety of approaches and methods until he finally developed the process of treatment now known as Mickel Therapy®. He founded the organisation Mickel Health Initiatives Ltd with the aim of offering high quality treatment and education in the theories and processes that he and the team have developed and evolved over recent years. Dr Mickel worked part-time in General Practice before developing his role as an Emergency Doctor in his local hospital A&E department. He is now available to provide Mickel Therapy by phone and e-mail.
He travels internationally to provide training, seminars and workshops.
Dr Mickel can be contacted through firstname.lastname@example.com
Brydie J Thatcher – Managing Director
Brydie studied Rural Business Management at Aberdeen University and the Scottish Agricultural College. She went onto embark on an early career as Agricultural Diversification Advisor and Equine Business owner before transferring to the NHS in her mid twenties. Brydie has now worked within the NHS for over twenty years as Operational and Clinical Service Manager. During this time she has worked closely with multiple disciplinary teams, clinicians, nursing and allied health professionals to deliver and develop high quality, patient centred services across a broad directorate of specialties including Emergency Medicine, General Medicine, High Dependency and Gastroenterology. Brydie has also worked for the Scottish Government, Health Improvement Scotland as an advisor and inspector within the Joint Advisory Group for the Gatroenterology Diagnostic Collaborative.
As the daughter of a Psycho Therapist she became aware of Mickel Therapy many years ago when her father sought out Dr Mickel to understand more about his therapy which had gained strong local recognition, indeed it had become something of a phenomenon. Whilst this initial contact gave her some understanding of Mickel Therapy it was not until many years later when she found herself as Manager of the Emergency Department in which Dr Mickel worked that she got to know about both him and his highly acclaimed therapy. Brydie was inspired and amazed by the incredibly restorative impact Mickel Therapy reportedly has had on so many lives, returning clients both to themselves and their family and friends. Brydie was particularly inspired by the transition and empowerment of energy disorder sufferers from clients to practitioners themselves. Brydie and David now share their lives and live together in rural Moray with a selection of children and dogs.
Brydie became Managing Director in 2019 with the clear and simple objective of expanding the company to provide opportunity for practitioners to make a positive difference to as many lives as possible.
Brydie J Thatcher can be contacted at – firstname.lastname@example.com
Clare Caldwell – Clinical Director
Clare Caldwell has extensive experience as an Advanced Mickel Practitioner. She also works as a distance practitioner providing the therapy by phone email and skype.
Clare Caldwell lives in the Highlands of Scotland.
It was the nature of the area she covers that led her to become a distance practitioner. So many of the clients she saw were unable to travel the huge distances to Inverness from the north of Scotland and the Islands that she quickly realised there was a need to provide the therapy in this way. She also worked for many years as a volunteer on a telephone helpline which gave her the unique experience to prepare her to provide the therapy in this way.
Clare has found that the therapy is just as successful by phone and email as in face to face sessions. Many clients even prefer the therapy delivered in this way
Clare qualified in Institutional Management in 1979 at the University of North London and worked in NHS management for many years. Her final job in management was as a Hospital General Manager in a London teaching hospital.
Clare experienced the symptoms of ME for 15 years. She was severely debilitated and was mostly wheelchair and bedbound during that time. She was always convinced there must be a cure and tried many therapies with little relief until she happened upon Mickel in 2004. She returned to symptom free health in just seven sessions.
Since then she has worked hard to raise awareness of the therapy. Clare is the clinical advisor and as head of training assists Dr David Mickel in the training of new Mickel Practitioners.
Clare is part of the management team where she is using her extensive experience of the therapy and her previous management skills and knowledge to assist the team. Their aim is to raise awareness and promote research into Mickel Therapy and the disorders it can help.
She works with people from many parts of the world and is interested in exploring how our cultural conditioning and expectations affects our health and the way we respond to the symptoms of illness.
Clare can be contacted at: email@example.com
Leisa Zakeri – Supervisor, Practitioner and Trainer.
Leisa has a BA Hons in Psychology, an MSc in Occupational Psychology and
is registered as a Practitioner in Training with the British Psychological
Society and aims to become a Chartered Occupational Psychologist.
After completing her studies, Leisa went on to build a career in London
in the supported employment field working in the public, private and
charity sector and has gained a wealth of experience in working with the
long term unemployed, specialising in both brain injury and mental health.
While working in London Leisa started to experience symptoms of CFS/ME
which became so severe she had to move home to Scotland and stop working
for a prolonged period of time. Leisa tried many therapies before coming
across Mickel Therapy, was treated by Dr Mickel, fully recovered and then
decided to train as a practitioner to help others do the same. Due to
personal experience of the illness coupled with her professional
background, Leisa feels she has a lot to offer clients and is very gentle
and empathetic in her approach.
Leisa is currently based in Inverness and offers face to face sessions with clients locally. She is also able to offer treatment over skype/telephone and email for long
distance clients and is currently working successfully with clients internationally. Leisa assists in the training of new Mickel Therapy Practitioners and acts as a Supervisor
Leisa can be contacted on firstname.lastname@example.com
Angela Wilson – Professional Development Adviser
Before M.E and then Mickel Therapy radically changed the course of her life, Angela had spent eighteen years working in television for the BBC. For the first five she was a Production Secretary and then Production Assistant before moving into the sharp end of the business as a Vision Mixer.
In 1987 M.E brought this much loved life to a grinding halt and she spent the next nineteen years very ill indeed and with no meaningful life whatsoever. In her quest for health she tried at least a dozen different 'cures'. These ranged from the more conventional alternative therapies (acupuncture, homoeopathy) to what some might regard as the downright whacky (hyperbaric oxygen, enzyme potentiated desensitisation). But extremely ill she remained.
Then along came Mickel Therapy, and just eight sessions and three or four months was all it took to put an end to nineteen years of non-life. To her astonishment Angela was now symptom free. She went on to train as a Mickel Therapist in 2008, since when it has been her privilege, joy and passion to be able to help others turn their lives around and reclaim their health, just as she had done before them.
Angela practises both face to face in South Manchester and, increasingly, at distance via Skype. In addition to her own practice she provides supervisory support to other therapists.
Angela can be contacted at email@example.com

Day 2, 3 : Joshimath, Auli and back
Joshimath is one of the four great 'maths' established by the Adi Guru Shri Shankaracharya in the 8th century AD. And given its proximity to Auli and winter sports like skiing, Joshimath has become a hub for adventurers and pilgrims alike. The religiously aligned can make excursions to Badrinath, Kedarnath, and Hem Kund sahib Gurudwara from Joshimath.
Auli can be accessed either by road or through a ropeway operated by GMVN from Joshimath. Access by road is usually blocked by snow in the winter months. The ropeway is the only way to reach Auli during the months of January, February and March. GMVN charges 200 rupees for a return journey and you will be rewarded with aerial views of the picturesque valley from the cable car. The ropeway is a state of the art system with remote controlled hydraulic and pneumatic braking system for safety. Also incorporated are sophisticated electrical and electronic circuitry with telemetry and storm warning devices to minimize human error. It has a capacity to carry 25 passengers at a time and the travel time is 20 minutes one way, covering a distance of 3.96 Kms. Altitude wise, this is the second highest ropeway in the world.
You can alight at either tower 8 or at the ending station. We went all the way and got down at the last point. As soon as we got down, we were almost gheraoed by vendors renting out skiing equipments, sun glasses and anything you need for traversing the slopes on skis. Charges are very reasonable; for 200 Rupees, you can have the skis and an instructor for a whole day. They will teach you the very basics on a flat stretch before letting you go up a small slope and try it out there.
Seasoned skiers can go down the slopes and make use of modern facilities like ski lifts for the great skiing experience that Auli has on offer. But for the uninitiated, skiing can be a tiring experience, though it is great fun. If you are really serious about getting on with skiing, the Mountaineering and Skiing institute run by ITBP conducts certificate and non certificate courses that you can sign up for. We saw some of the ITBP men practice on the slopes and they showed us what skiing is all about.
Manik gave up after a few runs up and down the slope, while I persisted with it a bit more. It was good fun gliding down the slope, but it was a drag going back up the slope with the skis on to have another glide. I gave up soon after. We then returned the skis and took a hike up the slope.
Some way up the slope, the alpine forest ends and the ski slopes start. Auli is surrounded by lofty mountain peaks on all sides and we had a spectacular view of the surrounding peaks from the slopes we were on. The slopes, carpeted by the fresh powdery snow and the lofty peaks all around are a treat to the eyes of the tourist and the photographer alike.
It was 1:30, and the slopes were deserted by now; perhaps it was time for lunch. We headed back to the ropeway for our journey back to Joshimath. I had a good look at the snow covered roads on our way back and I decided that its time for some adventure on bikes now. <100_7351,>. I have ridden in snow before and the experience has always been challenging and good fun at the same time. This was another chance to work out and put my FKR 120/80 rear to good use.
We were back in Joshimath by 3 PM, had lunch and headed back to our hotel to pick our bikes and gear for the ride to Auli. The roads were decent and we cruised for about 9 Kms after which we first encountered snow on the road. We got through the first stretch of snow without much fuss and it was about a kilometer later that we came across some deep snow. Manik had little experience riding in the snow and I acted as an icebreaker, with him following me closely. The snow was about a foot deep at places. We stuck to the tracks made by other four wheel drives and army trucks that had passed through here before. All the same, the only way to keep the bike upright in such conditions is to ensure that the front wheel doesn't skid from under you, while the rear goes sliding all over the place. Again, the 120/80 FKR at the rear helped a lot in these conditions. We made very slow progress over the snow clad roads and it took us about an hour to cover the 15 Km stretch to Auli from Joshimath. Going straight would get you to the small ITBP township at Auli. You are greeted by ITBP's Mountaineering and Skiing institute signboard at the beginning of the township.
A right turn some way before the ITBP township took us to Auli. A flight of stairs leads to the chair lift that'll take you further up to the ski slopes. There are many restaurants and cottages all along the stairs on the way up to the chair lift. We had tea and hurried back down to our bikes, since we didn't want to tackle the snow in the dark on our way back.
The ride down was easier than the climb and we stopped and I took out my camera to capture the moments and the fun we had riding in the snow. I had some anxious moments when I tried to give way to a jeep that had to overtake us since we had stopped. The Mahindra just slid past centimeters away from me and my bike, all wheels locked, hunting for the traction that simply was not there. I experimented with my camera even as it was getting dark, and finally decided to wait until dark to capture some night shots.
We reached Joshimath by 7:30 to find it enveloped in darkness; of course, it was the omnipresent power cut. We had dinner at a dhaba and headed back to our hotel. The trip was coming to an end now. All that was left was to spend the night and start the long ride back home. We started at 8:40 next morning and rode into traffic at most of the towns that we encountered on the way. Some way after starting from Joshimath, I found my speedo dead. An inspection revealed that the speedo cable had come loose from the connector in the front wheel and the inner cable had fallen off. I backtracked some way to retrieve the cable and fixed it back. This was the only snag that I encountered from my 34K old Pulsar 180 during the whole trip.
I am crazy about snow. I just love it up close. This trip gave me everything that I could do with snow and that I couldn't. I skied on snow, hiked on it, had fun throwing snowballs at Manik and finally, rode quite a bit on snow. This trip gave me all that I wanted and more. I returned home satisfied, looking forward, in high spirits at the week that lay ahead at work.
Day 1 : Noida to Joshimath
Day 2, 3 : Joshimath, Auli and back
And of course a nice blog ;)
Cheers and ride safe!
Hats Off Folks!!

Ryanair Boeing 737-800
Ryanair launched 10 new French routes for its winter schedule and said that with discussions with French regional airports underway, it hoped to have aircraft based in France by winter 2018 or summer 2019. Ryanair's December decision to change its policy and recognize unions, a step it was forced to take after a flight cancellation crisis brought tensions with its workforce to a head, is one factor that has made the establishment of French bases possible, while the arrival of ...

San Francisco based direct carrier payment startup has raised $13.8m of Series E funding. The compnay believes that carrier billing has now become the preferred alternative payment method for many of the world's largest merchants, especially in emerging markets.
Carrier billing is evolving from being a niche product for phone-centric content into a mainstream payment method used by the world's major brands for all types of digital products," said Boku CEO Jon Prideaux in a press release. Clearly, he is confident this is the future of mobile payments, though the field is still crowded in terms of payment options and competitors.

COYG: Dennis Praet agrees personal terms to join Arsenal
Get up to date on Arsenal transfer news, injury updates, fixtures, not restricting reports on Arsenal Ladies and share your opinions on Goonerhead
Arsenal are in the midst of a summer overhaul which has seen Bernd Leno, Stephan Lichtsteiner and Sokratis Papastathopoulos join Unai Emery's squad.
Those new boys were joined at the Emirates this week by Matteo Guendouzi and Lucas Torreira, with the Uruguay international joining the Gunners from Sampdoria.
The latest reports in Italy claim Arsenal have also shown interest in one of Torreira's former team-mates, Praet.
However, it seems the attacking midfielder could continue plying his trade in Serie A if he does call time on his Sampdoria career.
According to Italian outlet Tutto Mercato Web, Arsenal requested information about Praet at the end of May.
But it is said he is most likely to join one of Sampdoria's rivals if he leaves the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.
Tutto Mercato Web indicate reigning Serie A champions Juventus have their eye on Praet as their spending spree continues.
While Lazio have cast their sights towards him too as Simone Inzaghi gears up for the 2018/19 campaign.
Praet is available for a fixed £23m (€26m) fee due to a release clause written into his contract.
And that would allow Sampdoria to double their money on the 24-year-old, who they bought from Anderlecht in 2016.

Moreover, differences in test protocols also influence these measured properties. This paper shows that the temperature at which porcine brain tissue is stored or preserved prior to testing has a significant effect on the mechanical properties of brain tissue, even when tests are conducted at the same temperatures. Three groups of brain tissue were stored separately for at least 1 h at three different preservation temperatures, i.e., ice cold, room temperature (22 degrees C) and body temperature (37 degrees C), prior to them all being tested at room temperature (similar to 22 degrees C). Significant differences in the corresponding initial elastic shear modulus mu (Pa) (at various amounts of shear, 0 <= K <= 1.0) were observed. The initial elastic moduli were 1043 +/- 271 Pa, 714 +/- 210 Pa and 497 +/- 156 Pa (mean +/- SD) at preservation temperatures of ice cold, 22 degrees C and 37 degrees C, respectively. Based on this investigation, it is strongly recommended that brain tissue samples must be preserved at an ice-cold temperature prior to testing in order to minimize the difference between the measured in vitro test results and the in vivo properties. A by-product of the study is that simple shear tests allow for large, almost perfectly homogeneous deformation of brain matter. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

So for those of you who saw on social media and last week's post, I posted about joining Sojourn Healing Collective as a yoga instructor. The space is tentatively set to open in the Hillcrest area of San Diego come this fall. I interviewed three of the partners opening Sojourn; Melanie Esperon, from Reiki Room, Virgil Sim from Sim Massage, and Whitney Yarnall, a Yoga Instructor but also, the woman who had a vision and ran with it! See below to learn more about this awesome space!
Talk to me a little about Sojourn and your vision for it.
Melanie: With so many practitioners with their own private practices, we realized that our clients were traveling to so many different locations for healing. We wanted to bring everyone together under one roof to create accessibility for healing the mind, body and soul.
The ultimate vision of Sojourn is to be a supportive community of gifted healers, teachers and students of life; inspiring truth and self-realization in one another. With Sojourn's unique extension of the traditional yoga experience, we combine physical movement and restoration with alternative healing techniques (yoga, meditation, reiki, massage, intuition, nutrition, chiro, acupuncture...list goes on). Clearing creates Clarity where we can then guide participants to realize their greatest potential from within.
Was there a single moment in which you knew this was your next? If so, can you recall it?
Whitney: There was not one clear moment for me, it was almost as if the universe was leaving me a trail of puzzle pieces and I picked up everything that I needed along the way. I spent a lot of time becoming clear on what I wanted, and how I wanted my life to feel. The rest slowly fell into place over time.
What is your life's current intention or theme?
Virgil: My current intention is to bring hope, peace and love to the forefront.
For those resistant to tapping into their spiritual side, what would you like to say?
Melanie: I say, "show up when you are ready". You can't force anyone to be ready to face themselves…it can be a hard process just acknowledging the past and root causes of mental/emotional/physical pain and illnesses. Once they decide that they are ready, WE begin strong…touching on mind body soul simultaneously.
What is your guilty pleasure?
Melanie: Animal style in and out fries. Those are so bomb!
Whitney: I love Swedish Fish!!!
Virgil: I love coconut ice cream!
If you'd like to keep up with the opening of Sojourn and current classes being held in their temporary space (True Motion) , like them on Facebook at:
https://www.facebook.com/sojournsandiego/ or Follow on Instagram: @SojournSanDiego
For those of you saw on my Instagram, I had an amazing experience last Saturday. It began with a Reiki session with Reiki Room San Diego. Reiki Room is run by Melanie Esperon. Simply put, the practice of Reiki is tapping into our body's energy to heal. However, Clairevoyancy is Melanie's most heightened gift, she is a clear seer of the future. In addition, she is also Clairecognizent (a knower), Claireaudient (a listener), Clairesentinent (a feeler) On top of all of that, she is a Medium and can connect with Angels and those who have crossed over. Melanie describes herself as an "Open Channel."
For those of you aren't as spiritual, or perhaps traditionally religious, this all might sound like a bunch of "witchcraft." It isn't. I'd first like to state that I do believe in God. Perhaps it is not in the traditional Christian/Catholic way, but I believe. Secondly, Melanie's work is simply meant to be healing. Just hear me out…
Melanie and I go back to when I first moved to San Diego. I'll never forget when she asked me if I had a boyfriend with dark hair. It was that morning that Kevin and I became official...like 2 hours prior. Of course she then shared with me that she had a gift…or multiple, rather. That moment was fate to me- it opened a door I never knew existed. It was almost 2.5 years ago that I had my first session with her. She told me that I was going to be a yoga teacher and also a part of the holistic world in some way. I always felt this in my heart but there was this disconnect of how I was going to get to that point. Boy, did time and life experiences find that connection!
Amongst many other things, Melanie also exposed me to my gift – I'm Clairecognizent and in my most recent session, she revealed that I'm becoming Clairesentinent.
This past session brought a lot of clarity for me. I'm getting married in 16 days, preparing for next week's final exams, settling into a new job (it's remote, but still), and trying to give my heart and soul to all of my yogi's. It's a beautiful life I live, but it's busy and I just needed some confidence that I was headed in the right direction. Well, I am…and the most beautiful thing happened, I got to connect with my "grandfather" on my biological mother's side. (I realize that was said so technically. It's because I wasn't raised by my biological mom…that's another story, ha!) Nonetheless, It was beautiful. I got to know about my children, my job…guys, in the next year or so, I'm actually an AYURVEDIC NUTRITIONIST and still a Yoga Teacher! She actually read that I'll be a part of a healing collective, Sojourn Collective, opening up this fall. Last night I got hired on to teach yoga upon their opening!
In a nutshell, I'm living my dream. But as Melanie told me, I've gotten so caught up in making myself busy that I need to SLOW DOWN. Just this afternoon, I lost my keys from being so disconnected. This is something we can all relate to. We need to just BE in the moment. It's in THAT stillness that we are able to connect with the energy of the world, God, our Angels, our purpose. If our mind is turbulent, the biggest sign could go unnoticed.
So together, let's just be and TRUST that all will go well. In fact, it will go better. <3

by Bill Lambert
The Bible is the best seller, always has been, and probably will continue to be in the future. But, many people who have Bible in their possession fail to understand its message to men. These people may have several copies of the scriptures in their homes. Much of the difficulty in understanding the message of the Bible would be eliminated if these people understood why the Bible was given.
If the Bible has no design, then it is a useless book, and it does not make any difference whether it is understood or not. Why, then, did God give the Bible?
The Bible claims to have come from God. Paul says that "all scripture is inspired of God..." (2 Timothy 3:16-17). The word "inspired" as used in this passage, carries with it the idea of being God-breathed. Bible writers were not merely "inspired" such as a poet is, to write what they wrote, just having some urge to write an impression of their own. The very words which God wanted them to use in the message were given unto the penmen of the scriptures. Paul says that the Holy Spirit gave the words which were used (1 Corinthians 2:9-13). Those who wrote the Old Testament were also inspired of God (2 Peter 1:21).
Yes, no matter what kinds of ideas are being peddled in the name of religion regarding the origin of the Bible - God did give it!
To serve merely as an ornament or decoration
. This is the use a great many people make of it. It serves as a center piece for some article of furniture in the house. Many people pay a great deal for a Bible which has a lot of useless material added to it -- pictures, so called "helps," and numerous other additions. Usually, these serve no useful purpose, except to make a Bible a conversation piece.
As a textbook on science
. Although the Bible is accurate in every reference it makes to fact of science, God did not give it to serve as a textbook on any aspect of science. There is no contradiction between true facts and God's word - do not be deceived by the atheistic teachers and preachers who say there is.
Not only is the Bible scientifically accurate, but it is also a factual record of history. It does not purport, however, to contain all the history of mankind. What it does contain is accurate.
Simply for its literary value.
The scriptures are highly regarded by true literary critics for the great literature contained therein. While this is true, God did not give it merely to fill up pages for literary enjoyment.
As a supplement to other books.
Many religious people claim to believe in the Bible as the word of God, but they accept other books in addition to the Bible. These are uninspired books - books which have their origin with men. They contain the ideas of men, not of God. God did not merely supplement the ideas of men with His own book, the Bible. God left no room for men to inject their own ideas into religion. The Bible reveals the mind of God. What could men, the creatures of that Mind, impossibly add to make the Bible mean more or be better?
There are a number of reasons outlined in the scriptures as to the reason for God's giving the OLD TESTAMENT. Paul says that the Law teaches the extreme sinfulness of sin -- it shows what sin is and how God deals with it (Romans 7:7-13). The Law of Moses served as a tutor to bring the Jews to Christ (Galatians 3:19-24). The record contained the in the Old Testament is for our admonition, for our learning (1 Corinthians 10:1-11; Romans 15:4). In it can be seen God's attitude toward His law and toward those who respect it, and toward those who violate it. It, therefore, serves to show men today examples of God's dealings with men.
God had reasons for giving the NEW TESTAMENT, also. Luke, in his inspired account of some of the acts of the apostles, says that his first treatise (the book of Luke) told the things Jesus did (Acts 1:1) The inspired record is also given to produce faith in the hearts of men (John 20:30-31; Romans 10:17) It also warns of false teachers, gives the standard by which they are detected and tells how to deal with them (1 John 2:26). Only through a study of God's word can men know the proper way to walk before God. The scriptures tell us how we are to behave as God's children (1 Timothy 3:14-15). The gospel plan of salvation is revealed in the scriptures - the means whereby men are made righteous before God (Romans 1:16-17). By the righteous principles given by the Lord, men may know that they have eternal life (1 John 5:13).
How about the use YOU make of the Bible. Do you respect the Bible as being from God? Do you believe that the Bible is the sole rule of faith and practice authorized by the Lord? If so - have you obeyed the gospel? Do you live in harmony with its precepts? If not -- why not?

Why am I happy?
Have you noticed that I smile a lot more in my pictures? I guess it's the sun making me all soft and happy. Or, I'm just in a good place in my life. Think a good mix really. But I like it tho, I've always- and I mean always hated my smile, smiling with my whole mouth, showing teeth and all has always been a thing I never do. Suddenly it just comes naturally, strange but true.
My new favorite pants, how amazing are these? My mom told me all about how she had some smiliar ones when she was my age, isn't that funny? I love it when she says I remind her of herself, and that I buy things she used to have, or do my hair the same way she did it.
Om jeg var nervøs for å søle noe, eller sette meg på noe i dette antrekket er en underdrivelse- I was, men heldigvis gikk det greit denne gangen, det hadde vært typisk meg egentlig. Dette liker jeg ved sommer og lysere tider, at jeg får lyst til å kle meg etter været, og velger antrekk med mer liv. Hva synes dere?
English/ Yes I was nervous of sitting on something dirty while wearing this outfit, luckily it was all good at the end of the day! No mess. One thing I love about summer tho, is that I tend to reach for clothes that give me a happy vibe, outifts with more life in them.

Ways to Be a Good Parent (Part 2)
7. Helping Your Children Feel Safe
- Respect their privacy as you would want them to respect yours; for example, if you teach your child that your room is out of boundaries to them, respect the same with their room. Allow them to feel that once they enter their room they can know that no one will look through their drawers, or read their diary.
- Let your child live his/her life and let them make their own choices in life.
- Instill in them, a sense of belonging by displaying individual and family portraits on the walls of the house.
- Don't argue with your spouse in front of the children. If they are sleeping, argue quietly. Children may feel insecure and fearful when they hear parents bickering. In addition, children will learn to argue with each other the same way they hear their parents argue with each other. Show them that when people disagree, they can discuss their differences peacefully.
- Give your child some space and let them choose what they want to do with their life.
- Avoid favoritism. Surveys have shown that most parents have favorites, but most children believe that they are the favorite. If your children are quarreling, don't choose sides, but be fair and neutral.
8. Avoid rescuing them
Help your kids know their options, and the consequences of each one, then both you and they live with whatever option they select, generally.
9. Provide order
- Set boundaries such as bedtimes and curfews, so they learn that they have limitations. By doing so, they actually get a sense of being loved and cared about by their parents. They might rebel at those boundaries, but inwardly enjoy knowing that concerned parents guide and love them.
- Encourage responsibility by giving them jobs or "chores" to do and as a reward for those jobs give them some kind of privilege (money, extended curfew, extra play time, etc.). As "punishment" for not doing these jobs, they have the corresponding privilege revoked. Even the youngest of children can learn this concept of reward/consequence. As your child grows, give them more responsibilities and more rewards/consequences for completing those responsibilities (or not).
- Teach them what is right and wrong. If you are religious, take them to the religious institute that you follow. If you are an atheist or an agnostic, teach them your moral stance on things. In either case, don't be hypocritical or be prepared for your child to point out that you are not "practicing what you preach".
- Make sure that they have a healthy way of life. Many parents do this the wrong way. Instead of forcing children to try eating something, give them a choice between two things. It can push children, especially preteens and up, to a very emotional point, if you begin to harp for them to change their eating habits. If they want something unhealthy, suggest an alternative or a smaller size. If you know they favor a certain unhealthy food at a restaurant, taking them there a lot is not good. And if you start over-explaining to the child that it is unhealthy or that they shouldn't get it -- they may take it the wrong way and feel like you are insulting them. Once this happens, they will no longer want to go out to eat with you, and they will feel bad eating around you which could make them want to sneak and hide junk food from you. When you tell them they can't have something or shouldn't... it can create one of two things. One, it could make them want it even more and find out how to get it anyways. Two, it could make them feel extremely bad (contrary/oppositional), and they might go all out with all unhealthy foods except that one which could be worse than giving choices to get cooperation.
- When trying to enforce healthy eating habits, start it at a younger age. Giving rewards of candy to children may create a bad habit, because once they get older, some may feel they should reward themselves which can lead to obesity. While they are young, start them out with healthier snacks. Instead of chips, try goldfish (crackers), grapes, etc. The eating habits they learn as they are younger are the ones they continue to have. Also, never make your child finish their plate, if they say they are hungry. This can continue throughout their life causing them to finish no matter what portions are on their plate.
- Don't routinely do things for your children that they can learn to do for themselves. While getting them a glass of water before bed is a nice way to make them get to sleep faster, don't do it so often that they come to expect it.
- Emphasis moderation and responsibility when it comes to alcohol consumption even when children are young. Explain that they will have to wait until they are old enough to enjoy a drink with friends, and talk about the importance of designated drivers. Failure to discuss these issues early sometimes contributes to sneaking and dangerous experimentation, if they don't understand. Again, don't be hypocritical or your child will (more than likely) ignore your advice.
10. Allow your kids to experience life for themselves.
Don't make decisions for them all the time; they must learn how to live with the consequences from the choices they make. After all, they will have to learn to think for themselves sometime. It's best they start when you are there to help minimize the negative consequences and accentuate the positive ones. They need to learn that their own actions have consequences (good and bad). By doing so, it helps them to become good decision makers and problem solvers so that they are prepared for independence and adulthood.
11. Spending Quality Time With Your Children.
Be careful not to stifle/smother them, however. There's a big difference between protecting someone and imprisoning them within your too unyielding demands.
12. Spend time with each child individually.
Try to divide your time equally if you have more than one child.
- Listen and respect your child and respect what they want to do with their life.
- Set aside a day to go to a park, theme parks, museum or library depending on their interests.
- Attend school functions. Do homework with them. Visit their teacher at open house. Even if it means taking some time away from work. Remember that children grow fast, and soon will be on their own. Your boss may or may not remember that you missed that meeting, but your child will most certainly remember that you didn't attend the play they were in.
