One of the most common phrases we hear is "slow and steady wins the race." The idea is that if you take your time and don't rush through something, whatever it is you're doing will come out far better than if you were to try and hurry along. This can apply to any number of things, from writing a paper to building a house, but it's also applicable to the hiring process.
In a recent study it was found that the time it takes to hire talent is at an all-time high. In February of 2015, the average position took 26.8 days to fill – over five business weeks. The study was conducted by Steven Davis from the University of Chicago, who has spoken extensively on the issue. According to the study, this time range goes from the time it takes a company to find an employee, to the time it takes to give them an offer.
Certainly, seeing something like "all-time high" when it comes to the length of time it takes to bring a candidate onboard can be intimidating. But the real problem comes with the concern over the length. Some companies react to the length of time it takes, look at their needs for employees, and think they need to expedite the hiring process. Cutting corners in the talent acquisition process for the sake of putting bodies in positions can be a danger to an organization. Trying to cut corners means candidates aren't being vetted as thoroughly, which can result in higher attrition and lower performance.
Sourcing candidates, especially for professional positions, is one major contributor to the longer hiring process. In addition, the hiring process includes more steps. Including things like interviews and phone screenings, there's also pre-hire assessment processes, which are being used by over half of larger employers, as well as countless medium and smaller employers. Pre-hire assessments can add time to the hiring process for both the candidates and employers . For the candidate, a hiring assessment means more commitment to the hiring process and more time it takes for them to get from point A (making first contact with the employer) to point B (getting an offer). For an employer, it means making sure a candidate takes these assessments in a timely fashion to avoid delays in the hiring process and then reviewing results to see which candidates would be the best fit for the company. If a company doesn't understand how to analyze the data, the hiring process can take even longer.
However, the longer timeframes for onboarding a candidate really isn't a bad thing. The extra time, if used properly, isn't being spent waiting around one way or another – it's being used to help further vet, evaluate, and decide which candidates are the best fit for the company. The extra time it takes can save time for a company in the future via a reduction in voluntary and involuntary turnover. Additionally, the extra time can have a greater ROI in the long run because the candidate will not only likely stay longer, but also perform better in their roles. And with the use of pre-hire assessments, a company can build a strong foundation for data analytics to help improve the hiring process even further and leverage their information better than if they were to try and rush through the hiring process and "just fill positions."
Slow and steady truly does win the race, and talent acquisition is a race – whether it be for finding the best talent, ensuring your candidates are good fits, or identifying key traits and skills.

Apicultura 101: A How to Guide for Backyard Beekeeping
In a nutshell, a beekeeper is someone who keeps bees, whether for honey production, garden health, or as pets. A healthy colony will nourish a garden by pollinating flowers while collecting nectar to bring back to the hive. There, the nectar is converted to honey as a food source. Beekeepers can then extract a sustainable amount of honey for their own use. If maintaining an urban hive, this often
means sharing with the neighbors to keep them happy as well.
What To Know Before Starting
Urban Farm Magazine recommends starting by researching the local ordinances concerning the hobby. Many towns and cities don't regulate beekeeping, but a call down to the county extension office will settle that matter fairly quickly. The next step is to seek out a local beekeeping club to join. The resources available there will be the deciding factor in having a robust colony of honey-making machines or 20,000 little black and yellow corpses scattered about the garden. Apiculture, like bee behavior, is a social environment, and finding a mentor through the club will be relatively simple. A mentor can offer advice on buying a queen and colony, give instructions on the proper use of equipment, and show how to responsibility collect honey from the hive.
Beekeeping Equipment
The initial investment varies, but can fall between $200 and $500 depending on the equipment selected to begin. Often times, a search of Craig's List will unearth new and used equipment, but be very wary of buying used beehives. With the spread of Colony Collapse Disorder, a new beekeeper doesn't want to infect a new colony with a failed beekeeper's problem. Start with new hives, or use verified-clean ones gained through your trustworthy contacts at the beekeeping club. Protective gear is another acquisition to make before setting up the hives. At the minimum, a mesh faced veil and a sturdy pair of gloves will suffice, but to ensure full protection, a full-body, English-style bee suit is recommended. One of the top-tier supply companies is Brushy Mountain in North Carolina, and their mail order service is exceptional.
Keeping Bees in the Backyard
Buckfast bees, as recommended by seasoned beekeepers. The hives should be placed out of the way of traffic patterns to leave the hives as undisturbed as possible. A great place is in the corner against the fence, where the bees have direct access to the garden and don't have to cross the
BBQ patio to gather nectar.
Knowing The Beehive
These colony structures come in many styles and designs, but as with mousetraps, the simplest forms are the ones that work best. A beehive is made up of stacked boxes called supers with controlled access within the interior, where cells are framed in for bees to build honey combs. The boxes offer the right amount of ventilation for cooling in the Summer, and for regulating heat in the Winter. There are many plans for DIY hives, but for the first timer, it's suggested to purchase on the advice of a mentor. Once in place, add the new colony and begin to enjoy the benefits.

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (A)
(1) Studies on newly synthesized peptidesNewly synthesized peptide (Obioactin to Obiopeptides) of the activity units which were isolated from cytokines as an immunoregulator were examined in the effect of Toxoplasma chronically infected animals. Mice chronically infected with Toxoplasma gondii were treated with cyclophosphamide (Cyp), Obiopeptide- 1 (Obio- 1) and/or anti-CD4 monoclonal antibody to determine the effect of these immunosuppressive agents on the cysts in the brain. In the brain of non-treate, and infected Cyp-Obi-1 treated mice, with hematoxyline-eosine staining or anti-Toxoplasma ABC labelling staining, large typically rounded tissue cysts were mostly detected, and in some regions dividing microcysts were also observed in this experimental studies. In contrast, brain tissue from Cyp only or anti-CD4 treated infected mice had multiple degenerated cysts of varied sizes in some brain regions, as well as clusters of microcysts, however, such change was more striking in the an

ti-CD4 treated mice. Infected mice treated with a combination of Cyp and Obio- I showed a significantly higher survival of 80% compared to 20% survival in mice treated with Cyp only. These results indicate that reactivation of rupture of tissue cysts in mice treated with Cyp, chronically infected with Toxoplasma, might be mainly mediated by CD4 positive cells rather than other CD8 and CD5 positive cells.(2) Production of transgenic mice carrying protozoan geneSAG-1 (p30), the major surface protein of Toxoplasma gondii, is considered as an important ligand in the process of host cell invasion. If this protein is produced by host cells and interfere with that of parasites, then the host will become resistant to parasite invasion. Or, it may become more susceptible to infection due to the lack of immune response against p30 antigen. To generate transgenic mice carrying p30 gene, a 3.3kb DNA fragments, containing p30 cDNA fused with CAG promoter, that has been shown to direct a ubiquitous expression of a reporter gene in transgenic mice, were microinjected into one of the pronuclei of one-cell embryos of C57BL/6J, BA LB/c or Fl (C57BL/6J x C3H/He) mice. The embryos were transferred to the oviducts of pseudopregnant ICR mice. In the first series of experiment using inbred strains, two p30-positive founders (male C57BL/61 and female BALB/c) were obtained among 159 mice that developed from the injected eggs. Furthermore, we have obtained several P30-founder mice expressing the gene product and transmitting the gene to the next generation, by using Fl (C57BL/6J x C3H/He) embryos. As far as we are aware, this is the first transgenic mice bearing a protozoan gene derived from T.gondii. Less

Which user manual do you refer to, when we get struck in life? Is there any such manual? Do you have access to it? Many more...
Our education system has captivated us to look at the "means" of life and that remained the only goal in life. However, means are just a part of life and not the life in itself, in totality. While attempting to manage our means, we land up making our life much more complex, critical, judgmental and then there is no end to the miseries attached to it.

You may be into any stage of life – student or retired, any field – academic, profession, sports or other fields; wanting to come out of a present stage or desire for something big in life.
Being positive and resilient in life, is what life is all about. Being continuously aware about self, the thoughts, thinking, feelings and subsequent actions is what is required to be done. Our short inspirational sessions assist one to get charged in life and bring in clarity for re-alignment of thoughts and actions.

Low Calorie Lemonade Recipe For One Person
Lemons Mint and Splenda
Delicious Low Calorie Lemonade
Sometimes, I just want to go into the kitchen and make a single glass of lemonade – not a full pitcher, as with most recipes I have found. With experimentation, I discovered a combination of ingredients that make a cool and refreshing glass of lemonade. This lemonade recipe is not too tart and not too sweet.
I use Splenda Sweetener as a sugar substitute, making this a no sugar, low calorie beverage.
- 4 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 packets Splenda Sweetener
- 1 cup water
- 1 fresh mint leaf, washed
- 6 to 8 ice cubes (or enough to fill the glass)
Place all ingredients into a tall glass, adding enough ice to fill the glass. Stir and enjoy!
an absolute thirst quencher
Hi Marlene
Love lemonade but rarely make it due to the sugar issue. Now I hear and have read that Splenda is not great for our brains. I have and do use Truvia which in a minute they will tell us is bad for us too....maybe I will try it in your recipe.
Thanks for sharing this simple recipe for a refreshing drink.
Angels are on the way to you this morning ps
I like a tall glass of lemonade on a hot summer day. Sugar for me though, I do need the calories. - Here's to you, Marlene. Cheers!
This is the simplest of cool drinks to make and so refreshing to have.
Voted up and useful, Marlene.
If you get dealt lemons, make lemonade eh lol ... not sure why that came into my head. Anyway, a great drink for a hot summer's day that isn't loaded with calories.
Shared, pinned, tweeted, up and useful.
Sounds delicious. Voting this Up and Useful.
Mint and lemon sound really good together, I will definitely try this. :)
very good I tried this today yesterday itself---very delicious
Just the greatest of treats on a hot sunny afternoon. Thank you for sharing

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) - Energy equities paid a feeble goodbye to 2007, concluding another astonishing year with a retreat that took its cues from a 101-point drop by the Dow Jones Industrial Average. See Market Snapshot.
But Monday's declines stand in sharp contrast to a year that saw record-highs for all three of the sector's major indexes built yet again on record-high energy prices.
At the close, the Amex Oil Index XOI, -0.85% was down 1.1% at 1,559.7 points. News that Kirk Kerkorian's Tracinda Corp. is taking a 35% stake in Delta Petroleum Corp. gave the market something to talk about in otherwise subdued pre-holiday trade. But it was not enough to ward off investors intent on locking in profits.
For the year, however, the Amex Oil Index was up an impressive 30%, extending a 20% advance in 2006 as energy prices continued to reflect strong demand, tight supplies, and speculation closely tied to fears of supply disruptions in the most volatile oil-producing regions of the world.
Sunoco Inc. SUN, +1.56% was the lone gainer in the group, up 1.1% at $72.44 a share. Industry heavyweight Exxon Mobil Corp. XOM, -1.58%, part of the Dow Jones Industrial Average was off 1.4% to close at $93.69. Chevron Corp. DJIA, +0.01% fell 1.6% to $93.33. Marathon Oil Corp. CVX, -0.72% led percentage decliners with a 2.4% tumble to $60.86.
The Amex Natural Gas Index MRO, -2.38% fell 1.1% to 573.5 points. For the year, the index was up 28%, building on nearly an 11% gain in 2006.
But the stellar performer in the sector for 2007 remained the Philadelphia Oil Service Index XNG, -1.82%. While ending the year with a 1.6% drop to 301.6 points, it bulldogged its way through 12 months of volatile energy prices to claim a 49% advance for the year, placing it among the top-performing stock indexes of 2007. It rose 8.5% in 2006.
Delta Petroleum Corp. OSX, -0.70% shares roared into the session with a gain of nearly 27%, jumping as high as $19.50 on Tracinda's announcement that it is paying $19 a share for 35% of the natural gas and oil production company. The stock gave back some of the early gains to finish at $18.85, up nearly 22% for the day. See full story.
The infusion of cash from billionaire Kirk Kerkorian's private investment firm will help Denver-based Delta Petroleum step up its exploration program in Colorado and Utah and give it enough financial heft to consider expanding its reserve base through acquisition.
In other news, ConocoPhillips said it signed a production-sharing contract with Malaysia's national oil company Petronas search for and develop natural gas fields offshore Sabah, Malaysia. Petronas will hold a 40% stake under the contract through its unit Petronas Carigali, while Shell and ConocoPhillips will each hold 30%.
ConocoPhillips COP shares fell 0.9% Monday to $88.30. U.S.-traded shares of Shell COP, +0.18% slipped 0.8% to $84.20.
Meanwhile, energy stocks got mixed support from the commodities market. Crude-oil for February delivery shed 2 cents to close at $95.98 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. But that's 57% higher than where it started the year, making crude prices one of the biggest economic drivers of the past year. See Futures Movers.
The February natural gas contract closed with a 9.7-cent gain at $7.483 per million British thermal units.

Why You'll Love It
Timing is everything. I, only days ago suffered from debilitating sciatica nerve muscle spasms and was bedbound for two days. On day three I felt much better, but I needed help aligning my spine as I slept to help alleviate the lingering, radiating pain, so I used this pillow. Filling it with water was a breeze and I was happy to see that the fluff-factor that I typically like in my sleep accessories remained in tact. The pillow was soft and firm in all the right spots, which made for a more restful sleep…the exact words you want to hear I'm sure.

In our previous post, we stated the fact that it is normal to shed around 50-80 hair strands per day. You all must have let out a sigh of relief after reading that. If the number of falling hair strands increase more than that, it is considered as hair fall. There are various reasons behind hair fall. The reason could be as simple as a wrong hairstyle which causes stress to your hair strands and make it fall or a hereditary condition which needs a medical treatment.
In this post, let's see some common causes behind hair fall.
Health condition
Sudden change in health condition could be one of the main reasons for hair fall. High fever, medicine intake, hormonal changes, any physical trauma etc can result in hair fall. Once the health is back to normal, the hair fall is expected to reduce.
Poor Diet
What we eat, can directly reflect on the healthiness of our hair. Avoiding protein rich foods and intake of imbalanced diet intake can be the causes behind hair fall. Eating a healthy, balanced diet with protein rich foods result in healthy hair.
We tend to try various products, hair styles and hair styling tools to make our hair look glossy and shiny,like a shampoo commercial model. But over doing of such styling can actually weaken and damage your hair strands which results in hair fall. Make sure you don't change your hair products frequently. Dry your hair naturally instead of using a hair dryer. Try hairstyles which doesn't pull or cause stress to your hair strands. Reserve the usage of styling tools only for special occasions.
Dandruff is one of the main culprits which causes hair fall. Dandruff is nothing but white flakes caused by dry scalp. It is itchy and affects the roots of the hair strands which causes hair fall. Consulting a dermatologist and using anti-dandruff products can clear off the dandruff and controls hair fall.
Poor maintenance
Handling the hair strands roughly, not washing the hair frequently, exposing the scalp to pollution, dirt, extreme weather conditions can cause hair fall for sure. Always make sure that you comb your hair gently with wide tooth comb and don't comb it more than twice a day. To get rid of the accumulated dirt, wash the hair frequently. Make sure to cover the scalp while stepping out. Proper maintenance can control hair fall to a greater extent.
Environmental changes
Environmental change is another major reason behind hair fall. Sudden change in the water used for hair wash, change in climatic condition and change of place can trigger hair fall. Once the body gets used to the new environment, the hair fall should be controlled.
Emotional stress
Emotional stress could be one of the reasons behind hair fall. Stress can make the hair follicles move faster towards the resting phase from the growth phase. This results in heavy hair fall. Following some stress buster methods such as proper sleep, listening to music, break from hectic professional life, and going for a counseling etc can not only stop the hair fall but also improves the mental and physical health.
Apart from these common causes, there are other factors such as hereditary, patterned baldness etc which causes severe hair fall. These conditions require medical consultation and extensive treatment. Let's look in to detail about these conditions in our next blog post.

Search for a Mallorca Business
Area: Alcudia
Tenure: 20 Year Lease
Term: N/A
Rent: € 750 per month
Price: € 60,000
Well established, successful Car Hire Business trading from main road premises to a top international resort location. The owner now wishes to retire after an amazing 30 years.
Included in the sale price is the lease on a large office and garage (approx 300m2 floor area) together with all cleaning & maintenance equipment and the valuable licenses / permits pertaining to the business. There is the option to take over his 29 fully owned and paid for cars,The cars comprise Ford (Ka, Fiesta & Focus), Peugot 106's & Hyundai Accents, all aged between 1 & 5 years old with air-conditioning, fully serviced and insured ready for the season. Price on application. Overheads are low noting the extra low rent, and with servicing / maintenance of the cars done 'in house' by one full time mechanic (no other staff employed). Depreciation on the cars is minimal when compared to the UK. 75% of the business comes via a repeat, regular client base of 250 clients from Germany, England, Switzerland, etc. The rest is through recommendation and word of mouth - note no internet advertising! Profits are high with the business trading all year round, opening 9am-1pm & 4-7pm + Sunday & public holiday mornings 9-12am only. The seller will stay with the new purchaser for a while to assist in the handover of the company. COMMENT: To obtain permits for a new high street car hire business would now be near impossible (assuming you could find a suitable location) thus making the premises lease valuable indeed. Now add the cars and goodwill, and it can be seen that this opportunity is attractively priced for a quick sale. Obviously successful run 'as is' but with potential to expand.

I need nerdy names for my ferrets! I already am set on Pixel and Voxel but if I adopt a set of 3 instead of a set of 2, I need a third name! I found the term 'Texel' but it sounds too much like "Texas" Blech. Any other ideas that fit the theme?
Bf suggested Polygon, Edge and Vertex but wouldn't Pixel, Voxel and Polygon not quite fit themes?
Ideas please!
I had a ferret when I was a kid, her name was Skinny and she was fat as hell. Loved that thing. Anyway:
>hating on the name texas
>must be a shitty liberal
topo(short for topology)
Not hating on texas, I just think the name sounds too much like the state and I dont want to name my pets after states. I wouldn't like montana or york either to be fair.
RDNA hosts Smith Micro's official Poser forums; I wonder if SM will move to Renderosity or revive their own forums at ContentParadise since the notion of letting DAZ host their forums seems questionable at best.
runtime sucks for modern stuff anyways
>trash 3d software acquires legacy 3d software
lmfao who cares
Based on Smith Micro's recent trend the company doesn't seem to give two shits what happens to Poser.
Poser remains uninspiring, and quickly becoming useless, and neither Poser, or SM do anything but pump out promotions to buy their latest box of shit in a new wrapper.
People have been making reasonable complaints that continue to be ignored which clearly indicates the company's lack of care moving forward.
You literally cannot expect anything from Smith Micro, or Poser, as they obviously...

What would you charge to do a simple VR video about 1 minute long. To give people a view of the inside of an artery. I have no idea what to quote for that.
I don't do anything for under $1k, so at least that
Depends on the quality, care to explain more, I'll do it for 200$, tell me more.
This is more realistic, if not a little expensive.

Hey everyone, need help really quick
I need to open a box like this on Maya, what`s the best way to do it?
(note i`m not even a 3D artist i`m helping someone with UV mapping and realized the box should look this way, they are not replying and my friends deadline is today, plz help)
Help? thats going to cost you, since your desperate its going to cost you more.
dude don`t be an ass i just need to know if dividing the face would break the geometry or what would be the best way to do it, this is for a friends thesis and he feel asleep and i mapped and i got no idea how to do this shit

Because you have to put these files at the maya folder in my documents, and not at the original maya folder
Its shit. Use ICE or Houdini
Yeah I definitely put the folders in documents/maya.
what programs does /3/ use for face modelling?
And are there any that can mimic human expressions?

I'm a gigantic faggot as well.

I want to make some fantasy style towers similar to the gothic style of architecture. Id like to watch some documentaries in my spare time in order to expose myself more to the design style while im not active.
I cant find any good documentaries in HD. Does anyone know of some good full length high definition documentaries on ancient architecture? All I get is old history channel stuff on youtube with piss poor quality.
I should note it doesnt have to be Gothic style. Any kind of design related to spires/towers with a similar aesthetic, the more fitting of a fantasy theme the better.
good luck man, that shits hard to make look good unless u know zbrush or are really good with modular parts
I know PBS NOVA did a cathedral episode like 2-3 years ago. Watched that one in 1080p.
So I've been wanting to get into 3d animation for a long time but I also know it's going to take me a while to get better at it. I have no problem pirating some software to hold me over. I'm not really looking to make money off of things just yet. But I've been tearing out my hair trying to decide if I should bite the bullet with completely learning Blender or Maya?
Seems like Blender has gotten better over the years but it looks like it's more headache and work over Maya.
I've read the sticky and I've been lurking for a while...

Nigga you don't have to pirate Maya, get a student license. As far as pros, well Maya is widely used among studios as far as 3D Animation goes.
You CAN make awesome work on Blender as well I am sure, these are all tools to get a job done. But yeah, the amount of Online resources, job requirements, plugins, render engines, integration with other software, etc etc will vary on every software.
One last thing: while you can make quality work on almost every package, it WILL be easy to do modelling on x, while rigging is easier on y, and animation on z, and so on......

You'll never do even decent 3d animation until you master the fundamentals
blender will run better if you have a shit/average computer.
far as animation goes its completely up to you, there are amazing animations done in both maya and blender
if its for job purposes start with maya, if your intention is to just dick around with whatever get blender
Detailed Rigged Clothes. How do you do it? Any tips?
Usually I make a low-res version, rig, then subdvide and add minor details.
but it's much harder to rig or add/fix things after it's subdivided. Because of this, my clothes are always average.
Copying weights from low to high polys also results in a bad weighted mesh.
Should I really just go through the slow process of rigging the high poly version of my clothes?
>rig or add/fix things after it's subdivided
>Copying weights from low to high polys
>rigging the high poly version
dont do this
you simply rig the lowpoly then apply the highpoly normal map onto the model in your game engine or what have you
try xnormal
Ok I won't, but what should I do then????
Is this one worthy watching twice?
tell me how much I suck, I know you want it !
Needs more frames per second. Textures/lighting could be a lot better.
It's 25 fps, textures mostly are phong or lambert materials with different colors, so it's kind of flat, there is no bump. You said it, could be a lot better.
Besides these things, how's camera, scenes?
Talk to me about billboarding, brehs. Do you billboard grass or instance them? Do you billboard...leaves? Do you billboard entire trees?
Or, is billboarding mainly for smoke / particles?
If you wanna make something like a vast forrest with tens of thousands of trees a billboard system is the only way you are gonna make it happen on current hardware.
Here's a rundown of how these things works: You have a mesh with several thousand quad polyogns with all their 4 vertices condenced to a single point everywhere where a tree is located.
These are used by a mass billboard shader that uses some smart code to displace these 4 corners of the polygon based on their UV coordinates and the viewing...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
So you're saying that your billboards just have a 2D picture of a tree as an alpha cutout that use the camera up/right vectors to look at the camera (and constrain to horizontal rotation).
I get that.
Are you saying that the billboards themselves don't accept 3d lighting information and just be the input tree texture? Are you saying that only near trees should be real 3d and thus have real 3d lighting calculations on them?
...is the only way...
Not true. Here is an Forrest rendering with 47 Billion Poly, GI and DOF, rendered in 207 seconds on my I7 (with 1GB of Ram used).
Should I buy a "professional" graphics card if I'm using software like Max and Zbrush and UE4? Are these cards aimed towards CAD and other technical programs? I'm never doing any real heavy lifting in max, no scene renders or anything, sometimes baking normals from a highpoly.
My old card (radeon 6870) died and I don't want to lower my graphics settings in the few games I play to add some rendering power that I won't use.
not a techfag, but a good gamer pc usually does the job
get a 750ti to hold you over until pascal
thanks. the old card did pretty much everything I wanted except zbrush would lag sometimes at higher poly. Are professional cards rubbish for games or just not as good as tailored gaming cards?
Hello everyone, I post here because I have a project to create few medieval fantasy 3D scene (Dungeon and dragon universe) in order to make nice illustrations or short animations.
I have no skills in creating beautiful 3D models, but I know how to build scene and make animations in blender.
So my first idea was to look for nice (and free) 3D models of medieval fantasy character. I've found some but there is some big issue.
Free .stl file are easy to find (there is nearly all the monsters off D&D 3.5 for free) but it's only the meshs without texture....

The Lebanese Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil said, in a statement following his meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris on Tuesday, that Lebanon is seeking to reach "fraternal solution" to the crisis with Saudi Arabia over the sudden resignation of Prime Minister Saad Hariri, warning to resort to international laws is the situation is unresolved.
"Lebanon insists on maintaining good relations with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and a bilateral frame to resolve issues. We do not seek any harm for the Kingdom and we do not accept any attack on it; but we also want to preserve Lebanon and to prevent foreign interference in its domestic affairs. We are seeking fraternal solutions with Saudi Arabia and there is no excuse for this exceptional situation. Time still allows us to solve the issue with Saudi Arabia in a fraternal way, and we hope we will not have to resort to international law because fraternity can resolve the problem faster," Bassil said.
"Lebanon is free with its internal and foreign policy making according to the ill of is people who elect its authority and representatives," he stressed.
"Lebanon does not interfere in other countries' domestic affairs, and he doesn't export violence to any place in the world," he added.
Thanking Macron for his initiative towards the extraordinary juncture in Lebanon, Bassil said, "We want our decision to be free, made by the will of the people and rulers. We only want to live in peace," he underlined.
"France must stress on respecting the international law and it has ideas and plans to resolve Hariri's crisis with Saudi Arabia," he revealed.
Bassil also said that Lebanon stability did not concern the country alone, but also the region and Europe.
"France expressed readiness to do what is necessary to stand by Lebanon," he added.
"We are waiting for Hariri to return so that he practices his freedom as he wishes, and so that we venture into searching for solutions to our issues and concerns" he maintained.

|Summary (max 100 words):
Although this question seems simple in itself, it raises the issue of political will, which is more important than the issue of material means, as money and sophisticated technology alone cannot respond to the challenge. Indeed, the real question here is what can be done to reach the set objective. At the onset of the 21st century, asking the question of how to do it could almost be interpreted as a way of eluding the underlying political dimension of the topic. Obviously, this is not a sufficient reason to stop seeking real answers. Within this context, the approach proposed by the Global Digital Solidarity Fund is particularly interesting and deserves to be supported.

I have heard this product before but I have never attempted to look and try it out. The color look great but I am a little bit concern about the application of it. It really is kinda messy which I really hate when applying any kind of make up. So I guess I have to pass on this one...ReplyDelete

Hi, friends! My name is Nerdy Little Secret and I skate with Tucson Roller Derby. Among my friends and league-mates, I'm known for bringing the encouragement and positivity, and I want to share that with other skaters across the Internet.
I started playing derby in February 2018, so I'm pretty new and I still have a lot to learn. I'm a proud member of #teamturtle, as I didn't quite pass my skills test the first time around and I still have a BUNCH of things I need to work on!
My goal isn't to talk skills or strategy– I'll let more veteran skaters handle that– but instead to boost spirits and talk about morale, the emotional side of derby, and how to deal with mental illness and skating. (I have bipolar disorder with a touch of OCD and anxiety.) But if I find really good advice, tutorials, or other stuff from more-experienced folks that I've found helpful, I'll gladly share it!
When I'm not on wheels, I work as a professional data nerd for a healthcare nonprofit. I play video games, make snarky cross-stitch samplers, and drink WAY too much Diet Coke. I'm married to an awesome geek guy and we're parents to the World's Most Amazing Toddler (in our unbiased opinion).

NYC at Christmas
Jim and I took the subway to Canal st. He usually takes a taxi but I talked him into trying the subway. It was really an adventure. Of course everything we do is an adventure.
The first thing that we did when we got to NYC was go to Canal street to do some shopping. Jim was there a long time ago and I was there just a couple of years ago with my sisters. So it was fun to go back. We ended up in a van. Jim wouldn't get in. The lady kept saying you get in and Jim would say no. I couldn't believe how many police were there this time. It kinda took the fun out of it, especially since everyone thought Jim was an undercover cop. The sales people wouldn't help or show us anything. So we bought a couple of items below the asking price and left.
We had lunch at Bubba Gumps in Times Square. The city is so festive at this time of the year. After lunch we headed out for some serious shopping.
This is one of the windows on the tour of department store windows. It was so fun to look at all of the windows and how they were decorated. The stores went all out. The Sleigh rocked back and forth. The picture really doesn't do it justice.
This is Santa checking the naughty and nice list. Notice who is standing in front of this window. Of course we all know which list he is on. That is why I am not standing there.
Of course we had to go to the famous F. A. O. Schwarz toy store. It was great to go into and see everything that they had.
This is the door man. He was so nice. He let people take pictures of him with their children, wives, and families.
Dolls Dolls everywhere. I love dolls. I couldn't decided which one I wanted to buy, so I didn't get any. There where so many to choose from. Jim said it looked like a pediatric ward.
This Darth Vader is made up of lego's Ryan is really into lego's so I had to this picture for him.
We went to Saint Patrick's Cathedral. They had a large nativity in there. It was so neat but the baby was missing. They said that it was because he wasn't born yet. I thought to my self well then the shepherds and the wise men shouldn't be there either, but it was still neat. Jim bought me a beautiful nativity from there. This I believe is number 77.
The tree at Rockefeller Center. It was so pretty. It was so much fun to be in NYC for the holiday season.
This is us in front of Rockefeller Center. It was such a great day. The wind was blowing but not to cold and not snowing or raining.
We decided to go ice skating at the Center. It was something that I had seen in so
many movies that I thought it would be so much fun. We had to stand in line for some time and the rink had a lot of people there some had never skated and some were really good. But most were like Jim and I skated once a long time ago and was trying it again. I would say we did pretty good no trips to the hospital. :)
Yes, I fell down but nothing hurt except my ego. I was trying to turn to take a picture of Jim coming up behind me and down I went. Jim said wait right there until I take a picture, so by the time he was done I really had a wet bottom.
Jim, enjoyed himself even if it took a little while to remember how to skate. He might not look like a professional (pathetic) but at least he didn't fall.
Here I am showing how great I really can skate. But I tell you right now it is a lot of work and I realized that for 2009 I will need to get into better shape if I want to do this again.
We got pretty good towards the end of our skating. We had such a great time. I just kept saying that I can't believe that we were there ice skating at Rockefeller Center.
We thought about which show we wanted to go and see while we were in NY and finally decided that we wanted to go and see the Rockettes Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall. I had heard all about them since I was a little girl and was really excited to go and see the show.
This is inside of the theater it was great to be there. I have always wanted to see them and I have enjoyed dancing since I was 3.
This is at the end of the Rockettes' Christmas show. It was so neat that they portrayed the birth of Christ. I was really surprised and thrilled. It was the perfect ending of our trip.

What a fun trip! I can't wait to go to New York. Maybe someday when I'm not too busy having babies I'll get to go. Although I don't think I could get Aaron to ice skate, he's really scared of anything slippery.

THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE HEBREWS - Chapter 10 - Verse 1
THE general subject of this chapter is the sacrifice which Christ has made for sin, and the consequences which flow from the fact that he has made a sufficient atonement. In chapter 9 the apostle had shown that the Jewish rites were designed to be temporary and typical, and that the offerings which were made under that dispensation could never remove sin. In this chapter he shows that the true sacrifice had been made by which sin could be pardoned, and that certain very important consequences followed from that fact. The subject of sacrifice was the most important part of the Jewish economy, and was also the essential thing in the Christian dispensation; and hence it is that the apostle dwells upon it at so great length. The chapter embraces the following topics.
I. The apostle repeats what he had said before about the inefficacy of the sacrifices made under the law, Heb 10:1-4. The law was a mere shadow of good things to come, and the sacrifices which were made under it could never render those who offered them perfect. This was conclusively proved by the fact that they continued constantly to be offered.
II. Since this was the fact in regard to those sacrifices, a better offering had been provided in the gospel by the Redeemer, Heb 10:5-10. A body had been prepared him for this work; and when God had said that he had no pleasure in the offerings under the law, Christ had come and offered his body once for all in order that an effectual atonement might be made for sin.
III. This sentiment the apostle further illustrates by showing how this one great Offering was connected with the forgiveness of sins, Heb 10:11-18. Under the Jewish dispensation sacrifices were repeated every day; but under the Christian economy, when the sacrifice was once made, he who had offered it sat down for ever on the right hand of God—for his great work was done. Having done this, he looked forward to the time when his work would have full effect, and when his enemies would be made his footstool. That this was to be the effect of the offering made by the Messiah the apostle then shows from the Scriptures themselves, where it is said, (Jer 31:33,34,) that under the gospel the laws of God would be written on the heart, and sin would be remembered no more. There must then be, the apostle inferred, some way by which this was to be secured, and this was by the great Sacrifice on the cross, which had the effect of perfecting for ever those who were sanctified.
IV. Since it was a fact that such an atonement had been made —that one great offering for sin had been presented to God, which was never to be repeated—there were certain consequences which followed from that, which the apostle proceeds to state, Heb 10:19-25. They were these:
(a.) the privilege of drawing near to God with full assurance of faith, Heb 10:22;
(b.) the duty of holding fast the profession of faith without wavering, Heb 10:23;
(c.) the duty of exhorting one another to fidelity and to good works, Heb 10:24;
(d.) the duty of assembling for public worship, since they had a High Priest in heaven, and might now draw near to God, Heb 10:25.
V. As a reason for fidelity in the divine life, and for embracing the offer of mercy now made through the one Sacrifice on the cross, the apostle urges the consequence which must follow from the rejection of that atonement, and especially after having been made acquainted with the truth, Heb 10:26-31. The result, he says, must be certain destruction. If that was rejected, there could remain nothing but a fearful looking for of judgment, for there was no other way of salvation. In support of this, the apostle refers to what was the effect, under the law of Moses, of disobedience, and says that under the greater light of the gospel much more fearful results must follow.
VI. The chapter closes (Heb 10:32-39) with an exhortation to fidelity and perseverance. The apostle reminds those to whom he wrote of what they had already endured; encourages them by the commendation of what they had already done, and especially by the kindness which they had shown to him; says that they had need only of patience, and that the time of their deliverance from all trial was not far off, for that he who was to come would come; says that it was their duty to live by faith, but that if any one drew back, God could have no pleasure in him. Having thus, in the close of the chapter alluded to the subject of faith, he proceeds in the following chapter to illustrate its value at length. The object of the whole is to encourage Christians to make strenuous efforts for salvation; to guard them against the danger of apostasy; and to exhort them to bear their trials with patience and with submission to the will of God.
Verse 1. For the law, having a shadow. That is, the whole of the Mosaic economy was a shadow; for so the word law is often used. The word shadow here refers to a rough outline of anything, a mere sketch, such as a carpenter draws with a piece of chalk, or such as an artist delineates when he is about to make a picture. He sketches an outline of the object which he designs to draw, which has some resemblance to it, but is not "the very image;" for it is not yet complete. The words rendered "the very image" refer to a painting or statue which is finished, where every part is an exact copy of the original. The "good things to come" here refer to the future blessings which would be conferred on man by the gospel. The idea is, that under the ancient sacrifices there was an imperfect representation; a dim outline of the blessings which the gospel would impart to men. They were a typical representation; they were not such that it could be pretended that they would answer the purpose of the things themselves Which they were to represent, and would make those who offered them perfect. Such a rude outline —such a mere sketch, or imperfect delineation—could no more answer the purpose of saving the soul than the rough sketch which an architect makes would answer the purpose of a house, or than the first outline which a painter draws would answer the purpose of a perfect and finished portrait.

Can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually. The sacrifices here particularly referred to were those which were offered on the great day of atonement. These were regarded as the most sacred and efficacious of all; and yet the apostle says that the very fact that they were offered every year showed that there must be some deficiency about them, or they would have ceased to be offered.

ii) bringing balance to your health.
My Story
Growing up as a child, my mother would give me medicines and additional nutrients such as fish oil. We all remember the times when we were fed fish oil with a large tablespoon. At the time I really didn't understand why I had to consume it, only that I accepted my mother's words of wisdom that it was good for me and made me smarter. I did, however, find this hard to believe as I didn't consider fish highly intelligent, on the contrary, I found them rather easy to predict, catch and unpleasantly smelly.
So, when I left home I stopped taking the fish oil!
Michael Foltinger – eqbrium.
So make then, now.
The Balance
How then is it possible that at the same time there is an increase in chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes and obesity?
Studies show that the balance between Omega-6 and Omega-3 is crucial for your health.
The Imbalance
Today, not nearly enough of us are getting the required Omega-3 in our daily diets as over the past 40-50 years, there have been significant changes in our diet.
Today we consume large quantities of processed foods and vegetable oils and poultry, livestock and farmed fish are given feed that contains too much Omega-6 and little or no Omega-3.
Lower Levels of Omega-3
We see this in chronic joint diseases, with Alzheimer's, dementia, heart diseases, diabetes type 2 and obesity.
The Solution
Bringing balance to your health.
Increasing your intake of high-quality Omega-3 combined with virgin organic olive oil makes your cells able to work optimally and helps to prevent, even reduce the risks of the health problems mentioned above.
Eqology's Pure Arctic Oil produced from 100% Arctic wild fish combined with cold-pressed, high quality organic olive oil, vitamin D3 and an added fresh lemon flavour helps you (or your body) to reach this healthy level of Omega-3 and Omega-6 ratio.
The Test
Testing your Omega-3 and Omega-6 ratio
A good balance between Omega-6 and Omega-3 could be one of the keys to improving your health and reducing chronic illnesses.
You can now get quick information about your Omega-6 / Omega-3 ratio with this simple home blood test. The blood sample on the filter paper is extracted and analysed according to international standards for omega fatty acid testing by Vitas AS Laboratory in Oslo, Norway.

Special Needs for Your Extraordinary Kids
I'm very proud to say we are taking Alex to this event. Alex loves to run (just like his parents), and we would love nothing more than for Alex to try his hand at group sports, even if he's participating in an individual event. We've tried All-Play Miracle Baseball League with mixed results. I'm hopeful that the experts from Munroe-Meyer and Special Olympics Nebraska can work their magic and help spread the love of sports to Alex and other special needs kids through these 4 evenings. If nothing else, it is a great opportunity to play indoors during the dead of winter and learn a few things long the way. Hope to see you all there!

DayOne Experts Event Report - The Swiss Personalized Health Network (SPHN) – making Switzerland a hot bed for research in Precision Medicine and Personalized Health
"Bedside to Bench to Bedside" - this is how Mohamed Bentires described the SPHN/PHRT driver project in Oncology he is helping to lead. The hope is that by facilitating effective use of patient data, SPHN will not only advance research but fundamentally improve how healthcare providers deliver care and interact with patients. The Swiss Sepsis study presented by Adrian Egli also showed how better use of patient data enabled by the SPHN might allow for early sepsis detection, thereby saving lives in the near future.
The first phase of SPHN focuses on building an interoperability infrastructure. While the infrastructure is being built, the scientific "driver projects" help to prioritize standardization efforts and test-drie nationwide interoperabiltiy. This DayOne event featured presentations on the organization of the SPHN initiative itself, as well as two driver projects, detailing their impact today and into the future. These presentations are available on slideshare below.
Following the presentations, there was a lively debate including industry and SPHN participants. The panel covered a broad spectrum of questions, from data semantics, data "ownership", patient privacy and trust, to the role of hospitals and industry in the SPHN initiative. Many of these questions are tricky and yet to be solved, and the DayOne Experts Event provided a welcome forum where these questions were debated in an open environment. The SPHN is already showing traction and if the collaborative and careful approach shown during the night is anything to go by, it won't be long before Switzerland really is a hotbed for research in Precision Medicine and Personalized Health.

Real Estate 'Settlement' is generally referred to as the 'closing'- the closing or settlement is the final step in a real estate transaction. This occurs towards the end when the ownership of a property is being transferred to the new owner from the old owner.
Real Estate Settlement Services or the closing services include services such as title searches, title examinations, provision of title certificates, title insurances, services rendered by an attorney, preparation of documents, property surveys, rendering of credit reports or appraisals, pest and fungus inspections, services provided by a real estate agent or broker and the origination of a federally related mortgage loan. The services are not limited only to these services but entail other proceedings too. Some of the other services which come under this purview include the taking of loan applications, loan processing, the underwriting and funding of loans, handling of the processing, and closing of settlement.
The Real Estate Settlement Procedure Act is a law first passed by the United States Congress in the year 1974. Abbreviated as RESPA, the primary objective is to create a mechanism where residential original settlement providers can make disclosures about the mortgage and the real estate settlement process that would be required and processed to the buyers of the property. It is to ensure that the buyers choose the settlement providers with full knowledge and transparency. This law also ensures that the fees that the buyers are charged with regards to the settlement process are reasonable and fair under the eyes of the law.
RESPA plays a key role in the prohibition of some of the unlawful practices practiced by the settlement providers, such as kickbacks and referral fees. Such malpractices shoot up the prices for the buyers and are an illegal form of profit accumulation. Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act makes the settlement providers' disclosures at four different stages to the buyers. They are as follows:
Image credits: gevalor.com
Jump ahead to:
1. Disclosures at the Time of Loan Application
Three specific disclosures are made at this point:
- A special booklet is issued describing all kinds of closing costs and their nature. It is provided at the time of loan application or within three days of the application.
- A Good Faith Estimate (GFE) is also given to the borrower- it explains the charges which a buyer may have to pay at the time of closing or settlement.
- A Mortgaging Service Disclosure Statement is the third specific disclosure provided to the buyers. This statement advises the borrower whether the lender intends to service the loan or transfer it to another lender. It also informs them about the procedures the borrowers must follow to resolve any complaints they have.
2 . Disclosures before Settlement
The lender provides the borrower with an Affiliated Business Arrangement Disclosure before the settlement. This happens in cases where the borrower is referred to some other settlement provider to whom the part has some ownership interest.
3. Disclosures during Settlement
The borrower receives the final HUD-1 Settlement. This statement shows the actual costs of the transaction, at the time of the settlement. The borrower also receives an Initial Escrow Statement which itemizes the taxes, insurances and other related charges which are to be paid from the accounts of the escrows in the first 12 months of taking the loan.
4. Disclosures after Settlement
The borrowers get an Annual Escrow Statement delivered to them by the loan servicer once a year. This statement gives a summary of all the escrow account deposits and payments made during the financial year. The borrowers are also advised whether there are any shortages or surpluses in the escrow account and also suggest the actions which should be taken accordingly.

There are no private rights for action or specific penalties for the violation of any of the disclosure terms. Other than the disclosure requirements, it is imperative for people to know about four sections of the Real Estate Settlement Procedure Act before indulging themselves in the real estate processes. These four sections are mentioned below:
- RESPA Section 6– This section keeps the homeowners safe from the abuses related to the servicing of home loans.
- RESPA Section 8– Section 8 of RESPA is its most important aspect as it is used for prohibiting three different kinds of practices followed by the settlement providers. Kickbacks, fee splitting, and unearned fees are malpractices which harm the buyers and they are provided protection against these issues.
- RESPA Section 9– This section safeguards the interest of the buyers against the sellers of the property by preventing the sellers from demanding any specific title insurance company from the buyers. The buyer can file a suit against the seller and recover the damages against the violation of this section.
- RESPA Section 10– This section limits the amount that a mortgage lender may demand from the buyer to be transferred to the escrow account for the payment of real estate taxes, home owner's insurances, or other charges which are related to escrow.
Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act is more complicated than it seems to be and the aforementioned is a reader-friendly and simplified version of the act.

The Virtual Vidalia: VMware in talks to acquire family gaming software company
VMware to acquire Mavis Beacon Typing software, Foreigner to return to VMworld 2010, an IT manager receives "thank you" emails from Veeam for a purchase he has no recollection of and more.
All the news that's fit to spin!
|VMware to Acquire Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing
Veemwa Relire, Staff Reporter
VMware, Inc. (VMW) is poised to make a move into the family gaming software market according to The Wall Street Journal's All Things Digital. Sources said the deal was estimated at $350 million and would be announced soon.
The WSJ reported that server virtualization pioneer VMware is in talks with Broderbund to acquire titles from its software catalog, including the "Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing" typing instruction application suite.
"After all, how can our customers use our virtualization software if they don't know how to type?" said VMware CEO Paul Maritz.
A Broderbund deal would mark VMware's continued expansion up the stack, away from its core competency of x86 chipset virtualization, and was widely viewed as a way to build out its cloud computing strategy. Earlier steps in this direction include last summer's acquisition of Java framework maker SpringSource and an ongoing bid for Zimbra, a provider of open source email collaboration software. "By offering Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing as a vApp, VMware can lower the barrier to entry for cloud providers that want to compete in the market for online, on-demand typing tutorial software," said Shlomo Pincus, an analyst with the Wall Street investment bank Stear Bearns.
The deal has many detractors, who see Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing as a far cry from VMware's roots, and irrelevant to Fortune 1000 customers, who are by and large, pretty good typists.
VMware and Broderbund declined to comment on the rumors. Sources also said that the company is also trying to buy the rights to The Oregon Trail

Finland has plans to scrap its welfare state in favour of a universal basic income of 800 Euros.
While it may sound counterintuitive, the basic income is intended to encourage more people back to work in Finland, where unemployment is at record levels. At present, many unemployed people would be worse off if they took on low-paid temporary jobs due to loss of welfare payments.
Detractors caution that a basic income would remove people's incentive to work and lead to higher unemployment.
The article doesn't say who those detractors are, but they are wrong. When economists claim that welfare removes people's incentive to work, it's not because receiving cheques from the government automatically makes one lazy. It's because they take those benefits away when you earn more.
Take Finland before this reform. As the article states, "At present, many unemployed people would be worse off if they took on low-paid temporary jobs due to loss of welfare payments." That means that they faced an implicit marginal tax rate of over 100%! With a basic income, the implicit marginal tax rate for everyone below the lowest tax bracket is zero. If your tax rate dropped from >100% to 0%, would that motivate you to work more? It sure would for me.
This is a good policy move. It will reduce marginal tax rates on the very poor while simultaneously reducing bureaucracy. Good job, Finland!

By Jerry Petermann, 2016
I remember it well. I was 11 years old and was helping load turkeys on to a truck for market well into the evening on our Central Texas farm. NASA had just launched a giant 100-foot-tall mylar balloon into earth orbit. In such an evening, this marvel of modern technology (created to bounce radio signals around the earth) would reflect the setting sun and glow as bright as the brightest star. It would also travel overhead, orbiting the earth every 90 minutes; such a sight!!!
An old farm hand was laboring with us to finish the job just as the satellite passed over in the western sky. I shouted to everyone, "Look, there goes Echo!!!" The old man kept his eyes to the task at hand on the ground. I said, "Mr. Henry, look. The NASA satellite is shining like a star!" He refused to look up. I asked, "Don't you want to see it?" He kept his head down and simply said, "Don't believe in that nonsense…"

Happy Friday RM fam! Hope you all had a fab week!
Something me and Coco have in common is we love a good book.
As we are approaching the end of the summer, I thought it'd be a great opportunity to share some awesome reads I picked up!
Unashamed – Christine Caine
Ahh I FINALLY got round to reading this book, and so glad I did!
This has to be one of my favourite books I've read this year. There was so much gold within these pages, as well as being a topic that I believe is so important to be talked about. Caine covers the subject of feeling shame: how we can carry it throughout our lives, how it can paralyse us and withhold us of living our full God given potential. She counterattacks the subject with Gods truth – and through the word finding freedom and hope for the future.
The truth is Jesus died on the cross for all of our shame, for our past, our mistakes and old ways. We have been made new in Christ – we are free. We have been delivered from the chains of shame, and this book highlights this truth to the reader so that they may know what God has done for them.
We also find out a bit more about Christine and the work that A21 (which Christine is part of and an organisation that I support and admire greatly) has done in helping girls become free from slavery and heal from shame and hurt. This was for me quite a moving read. I highly recommend this book to everyone and anyone who has had their life gripped by shame one way or another.
Sisterhood – Bobbie Houston
Oh how I love this woman! I've been following her on social media for a few years and some may know her as being the wife of Brian Houston (founder and lead global pastor of Hillsong Church). However Bobbie is also the founder of Sisterhood: which is a growing movement of everyday women who desire to make a difference and make the world a better place. The movement embodies the power of community and a collective spirit; two things I agree can make such a positive impact.
In these pages Houston goes into how the movement started and came about; we also get to know a bit more about Bobbie which I loved!
The ultimate message I got from reading this was that we as women coming together have the power to make significant change and be a part of something BIG with God. Many times especially as women we can underestimate ourselves – and we forget that we are daughters of the KING of Kings, the most high! This book was a sweet reminder of that. God wants us to be His vessel to do some AMAZING life changing impactful things; that leads others to HIM. This was an encouraging and uplifting read – inspiring the reader that she truly can initiate change in and around her life.
Mindset: How you can fulfil your potential – Dr Carol S.Dweck
I've done a whole post on this book it's that good! So feel free to check that out if you want more insight. Dr Dweck is a well respected psychologist and has contributed a lot in her field, the reviews on this book were very high so I was super excited to pick this up.
Personally, I like reading a lot of topics but in particular I enjoy books that make me think. I'm all about learning the power of the mind and the different approaches we can have to situations all because of how our mind is programmed.
There are two mindset approaches: fixed and growth. In this book Dr Dweck explores the different approaches, their effects and the different ways we can change our mindset. As well as how to change our mindset, Dweck gives attention to the importance of maintaining that change. I know this book is common with psychology students however this is an engaging, easy read and I took a LOT from it. This is (literally) a thought provoking read – and I'd recommend to anyone.
Becoming a woman of the word – Karol Ladd
Karol Ladd is the author of 35 + books, this one being the first I've read from her. I liked how Ladd laid out the contents of this book, making it an easy to follow yet enjoyable read. The title initially caught my eye, encouraging the reader to rediscover their passion for the word and life with it. This book can also be used in a 6/8 week study group setting so would be great to read along with some girlfriends which I think is quite a cute idea! So why not grab some girls and dig through this book together?
There is a section near the end of the book called "Bonus help and information" where Ladd addresses common questions about different translations: how we got the bible, there is also an in depth overview of the old and new testament. I would say this book is ideal for women new in their walk with Christ (also think this book would be a good gift!).
I truly believe its so so soooo important to not only be a reader of the word but also a doer of the word – and this book highlights that very well. There is chapters on the different ways that we can memorise scripture, meditating on the word and the heart of worship. Basically there are a lot of golden nuggets within these pages!
Practical, informative and one that I will for sure re read a few more times in the years to come – I highly recommend!
What have you been reading over the summer? I'd love to know!
Have a great weekend!
