Garden Notes: Weird weather puts kibosh on tomato-tasting events
I'm blaming the weather! Usually, we've had ripe tomatoes well into September, but the Tomato Tastings planned for the Juniata Farmers Market and the Station Mall have been cancelled.
Vendors don't have tomatoes to taste. Tomatoes raised in high tunnels are done for the season. Garden tomatoes are still green.
So I'm blaming weird deviations from our normal weather patterns.
Farmers market vendors and a number of Master Gardeners supplied the tomatoes for last year's Tomato Tasting. The tomato samples were grouped into cherry and grape tomatoes, hybrids and heirlooms. Tasters ate their way down a line of 25 or more varieties like Pink Brandywine, Sweet 100 Cherry and Cherokee Purple.
At the end of the line, they were asked "What was your favorite?" and the conversations evolved from there.
Very often, the participants stopped at the vendors' tents to take their new-found favorites home.
Sun Gold was the most popular cherry tomato, followed closely by Sun Sugar. Both are the orange tomatoes that Steve Bogash, a PSU Horticulture Educator in Cumberland County, says are "the candy of the tomato world." More than one local taster said, "It's so good – it doesn't even taste like a tomato."
The winner in the heirloom division was the Pineapple Tomato. Last year's Pineapple Tomatoes weighed an average of two pounds and had a beautiful red blaze through the yellow flesh.
Radiator Charlie's Mortgage Lifter placed second in the Heirloom section. There are a number of "mortgage lifter" varieties, and one of the tasters claimed he could distinguish Radiator Charlie from the others.
He also told me about the nine-pound trout he caught the day before.
Planned for this year were most of 2014's tastiest varieties and some new, unique varieties like Ananas Noire, a black pineapple tomato with rich, sweet and smoky flavors. It makes a delicious tomato sauce.
Next year, there'll be a Siberian tomato, Paul Robeson. It's a Russian heirloom, a black beefsteak tomato that is a dusky, dark-red tomato with dark green shoulders and red flesh.
The winner in the Weird Name category will undoubtedly be Wopssipinicon Peach. It tastes slightly spicy and fruity-sweet. It produces thousands of one- to two-inch tomatoes with "fuzzy-like-a-peach" skin.
Indigo Blueberry is a tiny tomato with midnight purple skin and a red interior. It was developed at Oregon State, and hand-crossed with wild varieties from Chile and the Galapagos Islands. It's loaded with anthocyanins and phytonutrients.
Small local, direct market farmers face many challenges getting food from field to fork. Their tomatoes could just as easily been hit by late blight. Or their red beets could have died in the wet spring soil. But the farmers plan for diversity and sustainablity. They grow a variety of crops that guarantee their ability to bring produce to market.
If you have ripe tomatoes, enjoy every bite! And watch for information about 2016's Tomato Tasting. The farmers intend to make this an annual event.

Turkey-Pakistan Business Forum Was Held by MUSIAD in partnership with Pakistan Sarhad Chamber of Commerce by the International Relations and Trade Commission.
Turkey-Pakistan Business Forum Was Held by MUSIAD in partnership with Pakistan Sarhad Chamber of Commerce by the International Relations and Trade Commission. In the program, the trade volume between the two countries and the issues related to the development of the existing potential were discussed.
The meeting was attended by MUSIAD's Deputy Chairman in charge of Foreign Affairs Adnan Bostan, International Relations and Trade Commission Chairman Zeki Güvercin, MÜSIAD 3rd Period Chairman Ömer Bolat, Pakistani Ambassador to Ankara M.Syrus Sajjad Qazi, Pakistan and Turkey's leading business people and MUSIAD members.
Speaking at the forum, Deputy Chairman Adnan Bostan stated that a heartfelt bond exists between Pakistan and Turkey, and that this friendship is way more important than inter-country treaties and trade relations.
Pakistan takes on an important place in the history of MUSIAD
Noting that Pakistan has a very important place in the history of MUSIAD, Bostan said;
The International Business Forum (IBF), which we organize every year as an organization and which we will organize this year the 22nd time, was established to create a "Global Business Network among Muslim Businessmen". In this exclusive platform, our partner and our biggest supporter has been Pakistan. In 1995 we organized the first IBF in Pakistan. In 2000 and 2010, we conducted IBF's in Pakistan. We, as MÜSİAD, have a representative office in Pakistan and have made a MoU agreements with 6 associations, we have realized cooperations and partnerships. When we evaluate all these facts, we can see how important Pakistan is for both for us and our country. "
Our Trade Amount is Very Under-Potential
Speaking in regard to the trade volume between Turkey and Pakistan, Bostan used the following phrases:
"Pakistan is among the most important trade partners of Turkey in the world. Trade volume between the two countries reached the highest level in 2011 with approximately 1.1 billion dollars and in 2016 it decreased to 610.4 million dollars. In this context, the current foreign trade volume between Turkey and Pakistan is far from reflecting the potential of both countries.
At this point, we have a big task for business people. We must reflect our strong friendship relations coming from the past effectively in our commercial relations. We should increase the trade volume between the two countries that it benefits both countries. This is one of our biggest goals in organizing this program."
"We are creating a ground for new cooperation with international organizations"
Speaking in the program, Zeki Güvercin, the President of the International Relations and Foreign Trade Commission, stressed that they have conducted international organizations in order to create a basis for new cooperation. Giving information about the global scale fairs organized by MUSIAD, Guvercin said:
"We organized our EXPO Turkey by Qatar fair, which is one of our international organizations that brings together important business representatives from many points of the world, in January this year in Doha, the capital of Qatar.
We will organize the 17th MÜSİAD EXPO, which we organize every two years and thousands of business people from all around the world are expected to attend, on 21-24 November in Istanbul. I would like to express that we would be pleased to see you at 17. MÜSİAD EXPO."
The program ended after mutual presentations of gifts and a photo shoot.

this is very good fitting lotion. A bit oily and rubs off on your stockings, but does wash out when washed. My husband also uses it. Keeps legs smooth and soft. Usually use it once a week. Used for years.
This is not really a lotion. It is an oil...but mot greasy at all.. My feet have never been this smooth....and they do Sue the tight compression hose slip on more easily. Good product. I rub the extra into my cuticles on my hands!
Very good
Helps get compression stockings over the heel easily. I real blessing.
Excellent product, definitely helps with pulling on compression garment. Also leaves skin feeling very smooth and you only use a little bit.
It's a life -saver! I must wear high pressure compression garments covering the whole lower half of my body my legs and pelvis every day. Alps Fitting Lotion is part of my survival kit. The silicone fitting lotion takes away the struggle of getting that compression garment on. It's a must on those hot humid days or when you are sweaty or wet! Prices and service is excellent!
I've used this product for several years now and it sure makes getting my custom fit Juzo stockings on a lot easier!
A light application of this lotion helps compression hose slide on more easily, Especially helpful in getting them over the heel. A Tip: Try not to get it on the silicone band of the hose or the part of your leg where the band will be, because you don't want that part to slide.
This lotion is terrific to use to put on support hose. It takes only a little bit to make the hose slide on easily; no pulling and tugging!
Questions that are on Your Mind
Q: Can you help me with sizing?
A: You can view the size chart here: size chart
You will need accurate measurements, so first learn how to measure.
You will need accurate measurements, so first learn how to measure.
Q: What is compression? What is the difference in compression?
A: You wear compression stockings to improve blood flow in your legs. Compression stockings gently squeeze your legs to move blood up your legs. This helps prevent leg swelling and, to a lesser extent, blood clots.
Q: What does mmHg mean?
A: mmhg stands for "millimeter of mercury", a way to measure pressure. The higher the number, the tighter the garment will squeeze and the more compression it provides.
Q: How can we wash the garments? And with which soap or detergent?
A: We recommend to hand wash in warm water and air dry. You can use mild soup of the washing solution that we provide such as the jobst jolastic, hosiery mate washing solution, sigvaris liquid washing solution etc. See our full washing instructions.
Q: What is the difference between open toe and close toe?
A: There is no therapeutic difference between open and closed toe socks. The choice is yours, whichever is more comfortable.
Q: What is opaque?
A: Opaque is a thicker material that provides great coverage and your skin will be far less visible. Usually worn in winter because of the thickness.
Q: What is sheer?
A: Sheer is a thinner, dressier material. Customer usually like these because they can use them as dress socks for work or church.
Q: Do I get compression at the toe area?
A: No. Compression begins at the ankle and gradually lessens as it goes up the leg. This reduces pooling in the legs and helps the veins return blood to the heart.
Q: Will a thicker material give me more support than the sheer material?
A: No. The compression provided is measured by mmHg and is the same no matter the material. The choice of material is up to you, whichever is more comfortable.
Q: If I get pantyhose will I get more compression than with a knee-hi?
A: No.

As a person with fair skin, I have applied more sunscreen than I can quantify over the years. It had been drilled into my head:
"Apply sunscreen and you will not get burned. Apply sunscreen and you will not get skin cancer. Be safe; apply more sunscreen. The higher the SPF, the better."
Well, as I became more concerned about what I put on my skin, and now especially on my children's skin, I have discovered that what is found in conventional sunscreen may be more harmful than the sun's rays themselves. And that the abundant use of sunscreen is harming us and causing an epidemic of Vitamin D deficiency. Did you know this? I know I didn't. Our skin is the single largest organ in our body. We are increasingly becoming aware of ingesting poisons and toxins in our food and drinking supply, but many think nothing of slathering on these toxins in cosmetics and sunscreen (another post on cosmetics and personal care items is too come at a future date!).
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has published "9 Surprising Truths" about sunscreens (I'm only highlighting 6):
- The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) BOTH say that there is no data that proves sunscreen prevents skin cancer. The IARC actually recommends physical barriers, such as clothing, hats, and staying in the shade, over relying solely on sunscreen!
- Sunscreens may actually increase the risk of skin cancer for some people! The article says that some researchers theorize that this is because sunscreen users stay in the sun longer and absorb more radiation, because they feel they are better protected.
- Higher SPF does not mean its better. Fueled by the belief that more SPF is better, companies have clamored for "I've got more SPF coverage than you" claims. These claims are lulling people into a false sense of security, encouraging them to stay in the sun longer than recommended. There is actually a new FDA regulation that will prohibit manufacturers from having SPF 50+ on labeling.
- Too little sun = low Vitamin D levels. Yeah, we can use supplements for Vitamin D, but the best source of it is sunshine. This vitamin strengthens bones, the immune system, reduces the risk of cancer, and regulates thousands of genes throughout our bodies. The EWG cites the American Medical Association as recommending 10 minutes of DIRECT sun, WITHOUT SUNSCREEN, "several times a week."
- Direct Application of Vitamin A may actually cause skin cancer. This vitamin is a common ingredient in conventional sunscreen and "when applied to the skin in the presence of sunlight, may speed the development of skin tumors and lesions". This is often labeled as retinyl palmitate or retinol.
- Sunscreen ingredients generating free radicals. What does that mean? Well, according to this article, both UV radiation and common sunscreen ingrediates "generate free radicals that damage DNA and skin cells, accelerate skin aging and cause skin cancer."
What? I went to a study done by Skin Biology for more information. They state that "free radical generating sunscreen chemicals" have "estrogen-like" effects. Hmmm. Many articles, studies, etc. have already published that increased estrogen is causing problems in menopausal women. So… we're adding to it with our sunscreen? Let's read on. "When the body's hormone receptors recognize the estrogenic chemical as estrogen, the result is feminization of the tissue."
They then went on to list the Expected Effects of Estrogenic Chemicals in Humans.
Woman: Endometriosis, migraines, severe PMS, erratic menstrual periods, increased breast and uterine cancer, fibrocystic breast disease, uterine cysts. Men: lowered sperm counts, sexual identity confusion, breast enlargement, smaller penile size, testicular cancer, undescended testicles.
The Ideal Sunscreen.
So what do we choose? The EWG recommends that the best option is: mineral sunscreens (made from zinc and titanium). These are stable when exposed to UV rays and do not penetrate the skin.
AND to cover your skin with clothing and stay in the shade. Limit your exposure to the sun (outside of the recommendation for Vitamin D development). And reapply *safe* sunscreens every few hours and after exposure to water or sweating.

Check out the EWG 2010 Sunscreen Guide. Their top recommendations include the brands: Alba Botanic, Badger, BurnOut, California Baby, Episencial, and others. These all appear low on the Cosmetics Database. Many of these brands are available in retail stores, as well as online retailers.

There is a lot of unpleasantness and unrest both in the world and in human hearts right now. Those that are in pain unconciously seek to create company in their misery. They tug and pull at us both verbally, emotionally, and energetically. I have worked very hard over the years to realize that I can either focus on those tugs and pulls with irritation and upset, or I trust God to guide me as to where my energy is best spent in a loving way.
We don't have to react to others desires. We can respond to the presence of God's love and guidance within us instead.
This week, a person who inadvertently triggered a lot of pain in the past contacted me in need of help. In my younger days I would have turned this into a full blown inner drama. I would have had to discuss what had occurred between us. I would have wanted this person to understand the pain I once felt. However, I knew this soul was dealing with something very difficult in life, and that it took a lot of courage to reach out for help. It was not at all in my heart to make things worse.
I also had to resist the old ego-urges to offer more help than was requested. I had to resist the urge to "fix" things. I had to really look within and see if it felt genuinely right for me to help. It did feel right. So I offered the assistance, sent love, and let go of the past.
If we are honest in our interactions with the world, we do not resent them. If we do what genuinely feels truthful and good we feel blessed by the ability to help. If however, we help out of a "should" or a "duty" you might just find yourself feeling burdened or resentful. Those interactions do not come from God's guidance. They come from ego. So many say, "I want to help, but I'm so tired. I want to give more, but I can't pay my bills." I've done it! The angels have taught me, however, to give from a full cup, to give when it feels joyous and right, and to avoid the ego-urges to give that come, if we are honest, from needing to feel like "a good person." I already am a good person, and so are you. Giving doesn't change that. Giving should come from the heart – the heart of God as expressed in your heart.
The angels always say advise me to look for the love. In this interaction there was plenty in the past history to cause upset. But why would I focus on past pains when instead I could focus on the good. This person like all of us, was doing the best they could and honestly reaching out for love. To revisit the old pains would have been the same as playing my least favorite movie and over and over when, in reality, I have a selection of inspiring shows. We do that kind of thing in our minds all the time! We replay our most unpleasant memories, our worst fears, and our favorite complaints over and over and over… when in reality there is so much good to focus upon as well as so many happy dreams to dream. It is true that by virtue of being on earth there are many things that are unpleasant and some that are downright painful. We can't escape that. But we can choose not to hit "replay" over and over. After all, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and again and expecting different results.
It isn't easy to get to the point where you can walk the fine line between loving self and loving others, but when you get there it is feels really good. You have to impeccably honest with yourself and the world. You have to first focus on the fact that you are a good person and that what you do or don't do, does not change that. God created you good. Now choose to be good to yourself. Let yourself have your feelings and internal reactions to the world. Do only what feels genuine, and don't do what doesn't. It is hard at first to learn to be that honest. We fear rejection, misunderstanding, and pain. But in reality it is far more painful to lose your own center and to disconnect from your own spirit than to lose another. After all, you can only love your neighbor as much as you choose to love yourself!

Is there anyone who is not busy these days? I'm sure you're running, connected 24/7, and in short time. For example, I'm writing this from 35,000 feet on the way back from a conference at Harvard, where I spent some weekend time to higher education.
In order to balance my schedule and my fitness goals, I keep some tools at home to help me stay healthy. I am not affiliated with any of these brands; I'm just recommending them because I use them and have found to be useful in my life. I hope they are useful in yours!
1. NutriBullet
I have this little kitchen helper around three years ago and is what I use for my nutrition as I run out of the house at 4:45 am. I start the day with my favorite breakfast smoothie, a blend of superfoods, vegetables and fruits. The NutriBullet is super easy to use and easy to clean.
2. Juicer
There is a legitimate debate about which juicer is better, but I found that the Breville works great for me; saves me time in terms of creating, juicing and cleaning. I hope to make juice regularly because I can do, enjoy, and clean up after a big green juice, all in less than 20 minutes.
3. high-tech infrared sauna
I splurged a few years ago and got this sauna in my bedroom. Did you know that sweating is one of the best ways to get rid of toxins? Having a practical sauna makes it easy detoxification on a regular basis.
4. Earthing sheets and pad
At the end of my bed is a half sheet of cotton woven wire mesh that travels through a cable to an earth and then the earth. The idea behind this is that the earth allows you to tap into natural energy of the earth. I have a similar pad in front of my office computer where I can get extra energy from the earth.
5. Concept2 Rower
I bought this rowing machine over a decade and has held up well. I regularly use an intense Tabata style work and I can achieve a full body routine high rates of heart beat in a relatively short time.
6. Yoga mat and heater
I love so much a study of peaceful candlelit yoga and Kirtan music and a warm room full of people blasting music, but the ability to bring my home practice is necessary in the hasty days. Online programs are available and offer a range of styles and intensities.
7. Acupressure mat
This new addition to Nayoya has over 6,000 pressure points that can relieve stress and back pain quickly. While not a substitute for traditional acupuncture, which has been shared by my house and is receiving rave reviews.
[Read Also: Why Should Everyone Walk at least 30 Minutes A Day]
8. Essential oils USB diffuser
I was introduced to this recently and practical device that can be moved from car to office to home. Simply load your choice of oil and fill your space with healing fragrances.
9. Spice Rack
I open the spice cupboard several times a day and keep the rack full of fresh and organic spices. Any food can quickly reach the state of super-nutrition with the extra turmeric, ginger, cilantro, rosemary, dry mustard, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, cinnamon or. Beside the spice rack is nutritional yeast, which gives many foods pleasant cheesy taste while addition of vitamin B12.
10. Tower garden
I still have not completely mastered the aeroponic gardening (the process of growing plants in the air instead of on the floor), but picking fresh green herbs brilliantly designed this device thas added flavor, freshness and fun meals.
11. Stand up desk
Some of my favorite activities are doing the work, answering emails and search the web – all from a cheap stand-up desk in my kitchen. With all the data to be associated with chronic illness, I feel better down the ass whenever possible.
12. reverse osmosis water filtration system
Another waste to optimize the health of the family is to install a home filtration system. This ensures that the water we drink, bathe in, and use to wash clothes, it was a series of toxins found in tap water. The skin is so porous that the bathroom is as big as an entry point into drinking water.
I'd love to know what tricks you have found healthy rituals add to your home. I hope to add to this list in the near future as we are on the verge of an explosion of medical monitoring devices to provide detailed feedback on vital signs, levels of stress and nutrition to improve our health.
We're making an attempt laborious to make higher relationships within the world.
But we tend to can't have a go at it without YOU!
Did this feature assist you higher yourself or your relationship?
You can do modification somebody else's life too!

GENEVA — The number of people forced to flee war is expected to far surpass 60 million in 2015, the United Nations said on Friday, warning that violence around the globe is likely to push a record number of asylum seekers even higher in the coming year.
At least five million people were forcibly displaced from their homes in the first half of the year, adding to the 59.5 million displaced people the United Nations refugee agency had recorded by the end of 2014. One in every 122 humans today is someone who has been forced to flee from home, the agency said.
Most of the people on the move in 2015 were displaced within their own country, but as many 839,000 people fled across international borders in the first half of the year, more than a third of them trying to escape the war in Syria.
To make matters worse, the funds available to help the increasing number of people fleeing conflict had fallen far behind the level of need, António Guterres, the departing United Nations high commissioner for refugees, told reporters in Geneva.
"It's clear humanitarian actors are no longer able to provide the minimum support both in relation to core protection and lifesaving activities," he said.
Moreover, few refugees were able to return to their own country. Only 124,000 such people returned home in 2014, down from a million a decade ago. The United Nations reported that the number of returning citizens dropped an additional 20 percent in the first half of this year.
The refugee agency's assessment came as the International Organization for Migration said the number of refugees and migrants crossing the Mediterranean to Europe would likely exceed a million arrivals for the year in a matter of days.
By Wednesday, total boat arrivals had reached 956,456, more than 80 percent of them landing in Greece. Unlike previous years, when cold weather and stormy seas discouraged migration by boat, the flow of asylum seekers in the Aegean was "robust and dangerous," Joel Millman, a spokesman for the organization in Geneva told reporters.
The dangers facing those still trying to reach Europe — more than 30,000 refugees had arrived by boat in Greece this week — remained grave. An 80-year-old man and a 9-month-old child drowned off the island of Lesbos on Wednesday when a boat carrying 85 people capsized in strong winds and high waves, according to Doctors Without Borders.
"2015 will be remembered as a year of human suffering and migrant tragedies," William Lacy Swing, the director general of the International Organization for Migration, said in a statement released Friday. Over 5,000 migrants and asylum seekers had died in search of protection and a better life, he said, "and millions have been made into scapegoats and become the targets of xenophobic policies and alarmist rhetoric."

Untapped American Market for Vietnam Tourism
Vietnam tourism penetrated into the American market lately and so this is a high potential but untapped market for Vietnam. During the post-war period, Vietnam borders were closed for Americans for a long time but after the diplomatic settlement between the countries, both the nations have experienced a new era of commercial relationship along with burgeoning tourism. However, the US market is quite extensive and heterogeneous and so targeting the right market is more complex. The focus on Vietnam tourism and highlighting the different aspects of Vietnam as a perfect vacation escape has been very limited for American travelers so far. The present market share of US inbound tourism to Vietnam is not very impressive although US travelers spend the highest for traveling in Asia Pacific zone. According to Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA), the total spent by US travelers in the Asia Pacific was $231.6 billion in 2015 which is expected to exceed $257 billion by 2020 with 28.1% market share.
Industry expert and Founder CEO of Luxury Travel Vietnam, Mr. Pham Ha said, "We have experienced a growth in a number of US travelers to Vietnam in past few years but the majority of this diverse market is still untouched. So we need to have a systematic approach with thorough research to identify the potential targets and implementing apposite tourism marketing. We need to have more and more B2B collaboration to understand the needs and interests of American travelers while bridging the gap between demands and services."
Vietnam Tourism Roadshow US Canada Targeting the Potential Segments
Vietnam tourism is a small subset of all US travelers. Sensing the emerging prosperity of US travelers to Vietnam, VNAT has taken this initiative to organize this Vietnam Tourism Roadshow US Canada to tap this budding market that can lead to a strong tourism and economic growth of the country. Vietnam preserves its centuries-old heritage and traditions along with appealing natural landscapes. This far east nation on Indochina Peninsula is proud of its abundance of natural and heritage luxuries that impress the entire world. The bygone era and its contemporary development have led to a fusion of legacy culture and colonial traditions and this creates a sustainable tourism element for Vietnam.
Recent Travel Trends of US Travelers
Outsmarting the conventional travel routes and itineraries, today's US travelers are more inclined towards unique travel experiences that can take them close to nature and local culture. Immersive tourism is leading the trend with a special focus on ecotourism, agrotourism, gastronomic and so on that allow the travelers to be with the locals and experience the traditional culture and lifestyle intensely.
Mr. Ha continued, "Perception and satisfaction are the key factors in the luxury tourism industry and these differ from market to market and traveler to traveler. Identifying and analyzing the sought after destination attributes and experience preferences of the American travelers will make marketing tourism for Vietnam easier. So this Vietnam Tourism Roadshow US Canada is of much importance for our nation's tourism and economy."
Enthused by nostalgia, many American veterans travel to Vietnam to experience the changing scenario and revisiting the war remnants site. This is one of the niche segment of Vietnam tourism and this can be nurtured further to welcome more and more veterans as well as travelers, not only to highlight the war sites but also to reveal the behind the scene beauties of Vietnam.
MICE Tourism in Vietnam
Since its inception in 1990, MICE tourism has rapidly expanded across the globe leading to a significant contribution towards the economy of a country. It has been developing at a fast pace in Vietnam as well, although Thailand and Singapore are in the leading positions. Surveys show that every year, there are approximately five million business meetings, corporate events and conferences held in the world with revenue generation of up to US$7 billion and in Asia, the amount is nearly US$400 per day. The United States of America hosts most of their meetings, conferences, and events in different destinations in the world and Southeast Asia is one of the most preferred zones.
Vietnam is third fastest growing economy in Asia after India and Bhutan and holds an important position in international and regional subjects. Vietnam is a highly potential destination for MICE tourism and the country has already hosted events like APEC 2017, ASEAN Summit 2010, ATF 2009 and many more. Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are the most important destination for Vietnam MICE tourism. According to last year's report by the biggest data analytics organization, McKinsey, 17% of visitors in Ho Chi Minh City are business travelers and this number is 14-15% higher in comparison to its neighboring countries.
The political stability of the Vietnam government and its fast-paced economic and social growth create a favorable platform for MICE tourism in Vietnam. Besides Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam has developed and ornated parallel destinations like Da Nang, Nha Trang, Vung Tau, Phu Quoc and Phan Thiet to host MICE creating a better visibility for Vietnam MICE tourism. The standard and requirement of MICE tourism are completely in contrast to common tourism and demand for more detailed and upscale services and at the same time, offer nearly 4-5 times higher revenue. Considering these, the infrastructure of tourism and hospitality industry has experienced a revolutionary change in the past few years and now stands in the same platform with other international destinations.
Changing faces of Infrastructural Development in Vietnam
Casual holidaymakers to bleisure travelers and MICE tourism groups, today's sophisticated travelers are willing to spend for special services and experiential traveling. This market trend has penetrated in Vietnam tourism years ago and with this, there has been a drastic change in the infrastructural development. The hospitality industry came up with a series of boutique hotels and restaurants along with international 5-star hotel chains like Intercontinental, Hyatt, Six Senses, Accor, JW Marriott and so on across the length of the country.
The karst limestone landscape of Halong Bay in the Gulf of Tonkin is a world famous UNESCO Heritage Site. Emperor Cruises is the first 5-star all inclusive cruise that started navigating through Halong Bay and with time, it has extended its sea route to less known Cat Ba Archipelago and Bai Tu Long Bay to extend the most unique cruising experiences for the discerning travelers while pampering them with imperial luxury and personal concierge services. The soon to be launched Heritage Cruises is the first ever boutique styled 4-star cruise that will sail through the heart of the Red River connecting the heritage, traditions, people and time.
With all these new services to provide exclusive once-in-a-lifetime experiences, Vietnam has undeniably turned into a luxury vacation escape for most sophisticated travelers and highly looks forward to welcome more and more US and Canadian travelers in forthcoming years.

The former Hollyoaks cast member wowed fans with a sizzling swimwear snap.
Following on from the blonde's red hot Jorgie Porter calendar pics, the 29-year-old, flashed her booty as she stripped down to a flesh-flashing swimsuit.
The image, which appeared to be a throwback shot, saw Jorgie sat on the shoulders of an unknown male companion.
She made sure her booty was centre-stage, as she posed with her back to the camera.
The star looked like she was having fun as she lifted her arms up in the air.
Meanwhile, she wore her hair up in a low-maintenance bun in the Jorgie Porter Instagram pic.
The beauty captioned the shot: "Take me back! Hawaii… It's gonna snow init [sic]."
Fans were loving the reveal, with it racking up more than 4,700 likes.
One exclaimed: "That bum though," while another branded her "lush".
A third quipped: "Lucky bloke underneath."
Jorgie stripped down for an array of swimwear for her calendar too.
One image saw the beauty in a teeny pink two-piece as she hit the beach.
She's certainly going to make a lot of people's year with those snaps.

Poachers have killed two male lions that were among more than 30 rescued from South American circuses and airlifted to South Africa.
The killing of the lions named Jose and Liso happened at the Emoya Big Cat Sanctuary, north of Johannesburg.
Animal Defenders International, a group involved in the lion transfer to South Africa last year, said that South African police and anti-poaching units are investigating.
The Emoya sanctuary said that it has increased security and the site is currently closed to visitors and volunteers.
In January, poachers cut through fences at another animal park in South Africa and decapitated and chopped the paws off three male lions, possibly for use in traditional healing rituals.
Nine lions were rescued from a circus in Colombia, and another 24 from circuses in Peru, and they were flown to South Africa in May last year.

Keeping Your Dream Alive!
I have had a dream for a long time, but have no idea how it will come about or even how to make it come to pass.
So, periodically, the dream starts to fade into the oblivion of "to-do lists and priority tasks".
In the past two months, the dream started to fade again.
Then, this awesome, wonderful man of God (My husband -btw) preached Sunday night and again Tuesday morning right into my spirit.
So, last night on the way to our son's ballgame (my 5th sport this school year to mom-cheer), we brainstormed about how to not only keep the dream alive, but how to bring it to pass.
I said all of that to say this: WE all have dreams that God has placed in our hearts.
If we are not careful, we begin to listen to the enemy of our souls.
The enemy says,
"That's just you.
You can't do that.
Who do you think you are?
God would never ask you to do that.
You can never accomplish that!"
And after time, after "listening" to the enemies lies for so long, we begin to believe them.
But GOD- waits patiently.
He knows HIS time.
He knows HIS purpose.
He knows HIS special abilities He has placed IN you! (Eph 4:7)
He knows HIS special tasks He has set aside just for you! (1 Cor. 3:5)
I know I have blogged on this before, but I think I need to remind myself AGAIN- and maybe some of you.....
Isn't it a little arrogant of us to think we know better than God?
Isn't it the ultimate "false humility" to think that God's gift He placed in us isn't as good as HE says it is?
Oh, my... I am preaching to myself.
Who am I to think that I can do anything in and of myself anyway?
Everything that I CAN do is from God anyway!
So, my prayer is.....
Thank you God for what you have called me to do.
Thank you Lord for what you have gifted me to do.
May I submissively obey you in all areas of my life - especially the small things, so I will be ready to accomplish any big thing you have for me- for YOUR Glory.
Use me! Fill me up with You! Empty me of me- so I can be filled with YOU!
What's your dream?
What are you doing today to bring it to pass?
blessings to each of you!

Hmmmm...well, I DIDN'T think it was project coordinator/renovation coordinator/decorating administrator/contractor but it is looking more like it as the hours past since our wonderful 2 1/2 hour breakfast this morning :-) No, that's not a commitment! LOL!
I know what my dream is for my family and my finances but there is not much left for me to do...that is why I am having to solely rely of God to do the rest to finish what He has started in me, my family and my finances.
Love you!

Planning and Treatment Process
All components of the CyberKnife treatment process are performed on an outpatient basis. The process includes:
Planning for CyberKnife Treatment
Your case will be reviewed by a multidisciplinary team of cancer specialists. This team, in collaboration with the referring physician, will determine the best treatment option for you. CyberKnife stereotactic radiosurgery can be used alone, or as part of a treatment plan that includes other cancer therapies.
Marker Placement
For some patients, a short outpatient procedure may be required to implant gold markers (fiducials) in or near the treatment area. These markers enable the CyberKnife to align the pre-treatment and treatment images for greater dose delivery accuracy.
Before treatment begins, you will have a CT scan to determine the tumor's size, shape, and location (and to identify the placement of the markers/fiducials). In some cases, additional imaging techniques may be required such as MRI, angiography, or PET scan.
The scans are digitally transferred to the CyberKnife where our physicians and the team use the system's software to determine the number, intensity, and direction of radiation beams the robot will send to the target, while avoiding the surrounding healthy tissue. You do not need to be present during this step.
CyberKnife Treatment
During the CyberKnife procedure, you will lie on the treatment table with supportive positioning devices.
During the treatment process, the image-guided system verifies the treatment area and compares it to the original scans. It is at this point the computer uses the markers to align the scans and accurate identify the treatment area.
Dose delivery and tumor tracking
Once you have been positioned and the treatment area has been identified and confirmed, the CyberKnife robot will moves slowly around you to deliver radiation from many directions. When tumor movement is detected due to breathing or any body movement, the robot immediately and automatically adjusts the dose delivery. Throughout the treatment, the built-in imaging system periodically confirms the tumor's position to ensure the radiation is delivered precisely as planned. Generally, no sedation or anesthesia is required. You will typically have from one to five treatments depending on the location of the tumor and the specific type of tumor.
After Your CyberKnife Treatment
Patients can usually resume normal activity immediately after their treatment. However, you may feel a little tired or fatigued after the treatment(s). Once the treatment is complete, you will likely have follow-up imaging scans to assess the tumor's response to the radiation.

If an instructor wants 30 copies of one of your titles, or a company wants to distribute one of your ebooks to its top 500 customers, here's a way to handle such opportunities in just a couple of minutes.
Our new batch distribution system is designed to let you do just this: create a batch of ebook vouchers (links) and email them to your customer. Then bill them.
Class Sets & Bulk Sales is one of a growing suite of services from eBooks.com enabling you, the publisher, to capture opportunities and build out your marketing capabilities without spending a penny on development.
What happens once I've sent the vouchers to a customer?
The customer will receive a CSV file from you which contains a batch of hyperlinks; each one is unique. They then email one link to each recipient. When a recipient clicks the link, it will take them to eBooks.com, where they can start reading the ebook.
It's that simple.
Pay for the whole batch, or only pay for vouchers that are redeemed
You can do this in one of two ways:
- Buy a batch of unique vouchers and we'll charge you at the end of the month for all of them, or
- Issue as many vouchers as you like and we'll only bill you at the end of each month for the vouchers that were actually redeemed. The per-voucher cost is a bit higher.
Too hard? We'll bill your customer.
Some publishers just aren't set up to bill random customers for one-off deals. No problem. Contact us and we'll supply the vouchers directly to your customer and we'll pay you in the normal course of business.
How is this different from eBooks.com's other publisher services?
It's not a white-label, publisher-branded service. You're sending the recipients to eBooks.com for fulfilment. We look after everything, including user support.
Class Sets & Bulk Sales is a really simple, really fast system; you can quickly respond to a request, bill the customer, and get on with your day.
Other services
Some of our other services do similar things, but they are fully-branded, enterprise level platforms. They keep the customer close to you, they include redemption stats, usage reports, etc:
Digital Comps
Enterprise-level platform to manage requests for inspection & review copies
Ebook Collections
Fully-branded platform lets you sell course textbooks and bespoke collections to libraries
Ebook Engine
Fulfilment service enabling you to sell ebooks direct from your website
How can I start?
If your company already does business with eBooks.com, that means we already have your files and metadata, so the technical work is all done. You're ready to roll.
Just contact us and you can get started straight away.

I didn't know what to expect when I skipped into the West End to see Hair the musical last night. Hair is one of those unavoidable chunks of culture; you've heard the music (even if it's via the Müller ads), you've vaguely picked up on references to the nudity and you probably know more than you think about the premise (hippies/drugs/Vietnam.) The main reason I still felt unsure, despite this psychedelic frame of reference, was that I hadn't heard any standout songs and the synopsis itself didn't draw me in hugely. But the iconic nature of the original late 60s production, the hit songs it produced and the buzz this year as the new Broadway revival was brought to London all made me curious about the show. I don't particularly adore the music that I do know, but I had heard that it was such an infectiously uplifting night out that many friends were going back for more. So last night, just a few weeks before its schedule closure in September, I finally went to find out what all the fuss was about.
My verdict? It was great, but it wasn't incredible. The music and the story didn't blow my mind, but the vibrant vocals, colour and energy did. Audience participation is something I'm usually horrified by (my reserved Britishness finds it cringeworthy and my love of storytelling jars with the breaking of the fourth wall) but the rambly chattiness of the charismatic stoners and the weaving of the cast in and out of the audience, stroking hair and giving out flyers, was utterly charming. I would like to be able to say that this would also have been true of a British production, but I do feel the full-on Americana of the cast is what made it the solid, confident and slick spectacle it is. The quality of each singer just launches it into a different league to the rest of the West End.
The part I found baffling in such a hit was how hard it was to follow; I'm pretty clued up on the Vietnam war period, but the speed of the lyrics and the lack of diction (perhaps a conscious decision, but it didn't work for me) meant I spent much of the first few character 'snippets' feeling completely lost, if very entertained. I hadn't appreciated how much it had clearly influenced Rent, one of my favourite musicals, with its scenes of anarchic camaraderie, shock factor and loveable characters. But the tribe, whilst charismatic as a dancing, chanting, belting whole, did not have as much individual appeal as the bohemians of Rent. Caissie Levy really stood out for me with her honeyed vocals and subtlety of performance, but the limitless riffs of Aquarius soloist Dionne and the soaring optimism of leading man Gavin Creel also took my breath away. The group songs are the lifeblood of the show and the ensemble, most of whom have been together since the beginning of the Broadway revival last year, create a gloriously unified sound.
By the end I was certainly feeling the Love, the twin ideas of Peace and Love being a central part of the show. The air was fragrant with incense, the set lit with rainbow colours, the cast (on a bog-standard Tuesday night performance) seemed fresh as a daisy and high on life. I wasn't as moved as I thought I'd be by the Vietnam war theme, perhaps due to the surreal 'bad trip' sequence that once again entertained and baffled me at the same time. This baffletainment sort of manages to work though, and there are quite a few laugh-out-loud moments. Most of all you just want to be part of the gang, and even as someone who loves a power shower and loathes tie-dye, I had never found hippie life so seductively portrayed. For something less gripping than Wicked and less moving than Les Miserables, however, it is a shame that there is no option for cheap tickets. For £29.50 though, you can get into the Dress Circle, which we soon realised was prime hippie-partying ground. I didn't have anyone dance along the back of my seat, but a tribe member did take a sip of my coke. So if you're wandering the cloudy streets of London in the next couple of weeks and feel a bit bleak about life, I suggest you Let the Sun Shine In and bask in the transcendental aural trip that is the cast of Hair.

Indigenous Water Rights in Law and Regulation responds to an unresolved question in legal scholarship: how are (or how might be) indigenous peoples' rights included in contemporary regulatory regimes for water. This book considers that question in the context of two key trajectories of comparative water law and policy.
First, the tendency to 'commoditise' the natural environment and use private property rights and market mechanisms in water regulation. Second, the tendency of domestic and international courts and legislatures to devise new legal mechanisms for the management and governance of water resources, in particular 'legal person' models.
This book adopts a comparative research method to explore opportunities for accommodating indigenous peoples' rights in contemporary water regulation, with country studies in Australia, Aotearoa New Zealand, Chile and Colombia, providing much needed attention to the role of rights and regulation in determining indigenous access to, and involvement with, water in comparative law.

Chrome: Google's web version of the Play Store is handy, but it's still missing a few features after all these years. Toolbox for Google Play Store helps fix a lot of minor issues to make it easier to use your apps.
Toolbox, created by the site Android Police, offers a ton of handy tweaks. Most notably, in addition to the Install button, you'll also see a button for APK Mirror. This site (which is also owned by Android Police) hosts APKs for apps that may not be uploaded yet. This is particularly handy if you're sideloading an app that hasn't rolled out to everyone yet. You'll also see buttons for AppBrain (an alternative way to explore the Play Store) and Android Police's coverage for that app, if any exist.
The extension will also show you if there's a beta version of an app available. Many companies run beta programs for their apps to test out new features before they roll out to everyone, but you have to find them on your own. This extension will now show you a handy link where you can sign up for the beta and download the most bleeding edge version immediately.
Best of all, you can turn off any feature of Toolbox individually. So, if you don't know or care what AppBrain is, you can disable that button in the extension's options. For now the extension is pretty bare bones, but the few features it does have are pretty handy.

Rene russo thomas crown affair
IDA ADELEWednesday, July 24, 2019 12:32:51 AM
It is a remake of the film of the same name. At the Metropolitan Museum of Artan attempted robbery of precious paintings fails when museum employees discover imposters posing as staff who have been smuggled in using a Trojan Horse. In all the confusion of locking down the museum capturing the robbers, billionaire Thomas Crown Pierce Brosnan slips into an adjacent room and steals the painting of San Giorgio Maggiore at Dusk by Monet.
McCann is annoyed that he has a civilian involved in the investigation, but is attracted to Banning. He asks his second in command to do a background check on her. Paretti discovers that Banning is the daughter of a formidable bail bondsman in Ohio, famous for carrying a chain in the back of his truck and using it to forcibly return those who've skipped bail.
McCann and Paretti realize that they may have underestimated Banning's mettle. The next morning as the police are reviewing video of the robbery, Banning shows up. They notice that the room containing the Monet couldn't be seen on the screen.
In discussing why with a museum employee, they deduce that something caused the temperature to rise in that room so the new thermal cameras couldn't differentiate between people and walls. She goes back to the room with Michael where she realizes that one of the benches only has two legs when in the video it had three, suggesting the third Rene russo thomas crown affair was actually a briefcase.
They then brainstorm over what could have been in the briefcase to cause the change in temperature. Crown not only shows up to finger one of the detained robbers, but donates one of his own personal paintings that fits the same space as the Monet. After watching Crown, she looks up who has been bidding on Monets and finds his name on the list again and again. She convinces Michael to let her begin surveillance on him and that he is someone who would steal the painting not for the money, but for the excitement.
After the press conference donating the new painting, Catherine attracts Crown by intimating that she knows what he did. On her way out, he asks her for a date and she accepts. Before the date, Crown goes to see his therapist Faye Dunawaywho notices a change in her patient and correctly guesses that he's Rene russo thomas crown affair a worthy adversary. On their first date, Crown takes her to the museum and then to dinner, all while being tailed by the police. Their attraction is evident as is their intimate knowledge of each other's background.
Catherine gets her hands on his keys and has a copy made for later. When he drops her off, he reveals he knows she has no furniture in her apartment and she returns his keys without him knowing they were ever gone. They both feel a palpable change is about to occur in their lives and press on with the cat-and-mouse game. The next day, she illegally enters into Thomas' house and searches for the painting.
Along with her team they search the entire house to no avail until she enters his study. She presses a button under the desk that opens a panel in the wall and finds the Monet. She triumphantly enters the police station where an expert is waiting to authenticate it. They find that it was a witty copy, painted over Rene russo thomas crown affair kitschy Poker Sympathy.
Enraged, she asks where to find Crown. He is at a Black and White Ball and she crashes, interrupting a dance with his beautiful young date. She angrily tells him she doesn't need him to lend her clues, and he responds that he can't be arrested for a joke. After a hot dance, they kiss and end up at Crown's home where they have sex in many rooms and the stairs.
At breakfast, his valet brings her the distinct drink she had her first day in New York, causing her to bemoan that he knew she would sleep Rene russo thomas crown affair him which she denied would happen on their first date. They begin to date regularly and he even takes her to his home on Martinique. When she comments that his Caribbean home must go over well with those that he brings there, Crown admits that he never brings anyone else there.
Crown also reveals a wardrobe of clothes that fit her exactly are already there. Crown also arrives with a painting, packaged in a wooden case. He teases her about seeing the painting, which she claims to have no interest in. He continues to ask her and to show her disinterest, she puts it in the fire, only to find out that it wasn't what she thought.
The next morning after a serious talk, she wakes to find him having a meeting with some serious looking men. When he finds her on the beach later, she confronts him with the knowledge that she knows he's preparing to run. He offers her a lot of money to throw the case yet admits no wrongdoing and come with him. When they return to New York, a jealous Michael confronts Catherine with pictures of Crown and what he has been doing since they returned.
At first she pretends she doesn't care, then folds and asks to see the pictures. They are of Crown with the same beautiful young woman again. Rene russo thomas crown affair betrayed, she hands Michael pictures of the borders of the Monet, stating that they are photographed before being insured so a forgery can be discerned.
Catherine is not the only one with mixed feelings. Crown has seen his therapist throughout the relationship and she warns him that they are very much alike, so Catherine won't realize that he truly cared for her until she's lost him. They continue to date and he asks her to leave with him. When she is slow to respond, he asks her if it is because of the young lady he had been photographed with, Anna.
He then confesses that he purposefully allowed the police to see them together, knowing she'd find out. She then commands that his valet stop the car and she gets out, with Crown close behind. She is angry that he tried to hurt her and he responds that he only did it to insure that he was not the only one with feelings involved. He then asks her to leave with him again. When she returns to the police station, Michael reminds her of the border pictures and that they found some likely forgers in the city.
They go to visit them, but they Rene russo thomas crown affair blame the other. The second who is in jail sparks curiosity in Catherine and she thinks there is something he knows, but isn't saying. She then goes to see Crown, and finds him packing with Anna. Feeling used, she turns to leave and he attempts to stop her so he can explain.
He promises that there is nothing going on between him and Anna and that she merely wanted to be paid for a job she did for him. Catherine doesn't believe it, so he promises to return the painting so they can be together. Incredulous, she asks if he expects her to believe him. He gives her a date, time and location to meet him after he returns it and kisses her, giving her the option of leaving with him or turning him in.
She breaks away in tears and leaves.
She ends up at Michael's and gives Crown up. The next day, the police have staked out the museum and are waiting for him to show so they can arrest him. Michael gets a phone call and divulges that the forger was Anna, the daughter of one of the forgers they visited, Heinrich Knutzhorn. Her father had owned a gallery with Crown and he had become her guardian when her father had gone to prison. Catherine is mortified at her mistake and even more so when Crown shows up dressed as the man in the painting, The Son of Man.
Michael asks if she warned him and when she insists she did not, he responds that Crown knew she would betray him. He quickly blends into the crowd while sending the police on a wild goose chase when other men matching his description and dress flood the museum passing identical briefcases. The room where the Monet was is heavily guarded, so they have no Rene russo thomas crown affair how he is going to return it.
After disposing of his Son of Man clothes, Crown throws a few tear gas shells into the Rene russo thomas crown affair where the original Monet painting was hanging. The fire sprinklers open Rene russo thomas crown affair and to avoid any damage the covers start to close over the paintings. However, the door in front of the Pissarro Crown donated is stuck. The water washes away the paint to reveal the Monet. When they look to see what stopped the doors, they find a pencil stamped with, "Crown Acquisitions".
What occurred is now clear; immediately after stealing the original Monet painting, Thomas had Anna forge a Pissarro over it with watercolor and replaced it via the donation two days later.
However, when the shields retract, they find another painting is missing. It is the painting Catherine told Crown on their first date she would have taken instead of the Monet. Her people are not responsible for it and theirs has been recovered, so it is no longer her business.
Michael says he has more important crimes to concentrate on, so Crown is free to do whatever he wants. When Catherine goes to the location she was supposed to meet Thomas, she encounters a man she thinks is him.
However, when he turns around, it is one of the men from the museum dressed as the Son of Man with a gift from Crown for her: Devastated, she goes to the airport and asks the clerk to mail the painting to Michael at police headquarters before she a flight to Britain.
Visibly shaken on the plane and clutching a glass of wine, Catherine falls apart. A hand reaches through the seats from behind her and gives her a handkerchief while using a voice that doesn't quite sound right.
She looks in the seat behind her to find Crown. She leaps at him, furious at his actions. The stewardess comes to see what the commotion is, but by then Thomas has calmed her by kissing Rene russo thomas crown affair. She then whispers in his ear, "If you pull a stunt like that again, I'll break both your arms". Dunaway played the Catherine Banning role in the original. The film makes several major changes from the original, most notably the amount of nudity and intimacy displayed during the romance between the two main characters.
The original was rated PG; the remake, rated R. The original story is about a millionaire masterminding a bank heist in
Rene russo thomas crown affair the remake portrays a billionaire art thief in New York City. The change in the remake was based on the idea that the more tumultuous society of the time would be less inclined to sympathize with a man who committed armed robbery out of boredom.
Steve McQueen's version of Thomas Crown has no physical involvement in the actual robbery; he is a behind-the-scenes mastermind. Pierce Brosnan's version steals the painting himself. In the original, Crown pilots the glider himself, alone; in the remake he takes Banning for a ride. It also helps that the chemistry between him and Rene Russo is super hot and Thomas Crown Affair could be one of those movies if not for the fact that it is a 2. The Thomas Crown Affair is a American heist film directed by John McTiernan and starring Pierce Brosnan, Rene Russo and Denis Leary.
It is a remake of. The fact that it's not quite Friday yet getting you down? Chin up — Rene Russo stopped by, and she came with an ADORABLE #TBT about her.

text: Share: Comments Print July 10, 2011 at 9:33 PM Los Angeles fires coach Jennifer Gillom Posted by Jayda Evans Los Angeles became the second Western Conference team to make a coaching change this weekend, firing Jennifer Gillom and naming assistant Joe Bryant as the interim coach. Bryant, Kobe's father, coached the Sparks in 2005, going 4-1 during the regular season as he guided them to the playoffs. He finished 25-9 in 2006, leading LA to the postseason with the top record in the West. The Sparks defeated the Storm 2-1 in the opening round and were swept by defunct Sacramento in the conference finals. "This was a very difficult decision, but I felt it was necessary to take the team in a different direction at this point in the season. Joe's familiarity with the Sparks organization puts us in the best possible position to compete going forward, and should make for a seamless transition," said GM Penny Toler in a released statement. Toler has been traveling with the team during the seven-game road trip. "We respect Jennifer's commitment to the Sparks and understand she has faced adversity with player injuries during her tenure. That being said, with a short season and playing in the competitive Western Conference, winning games early in the year is critical and the Sparks' goal remains to contend for a WNBA Championship." Gillom's removal isn't surprising after the Sparks' past two losses. The team has crumbled in the second half after building solid leads, sometimes to rotations or lineup moves by Gillom. In a 99-80 loss to Seattle on Saturday, Gillom benched legends Ticha Penicheiro and Tina Thompson in hopes of shaking a four-game losing streak. The players didn't enter the game until the second quarter and Thompson didn't play in the fourth, the team already behind 70-60. Although professional, it appeared as if the change caused tension. When asked, Gillom said it was a difficult discussion, but it had to be done. "I was pretty happy with that lineup," said Gillom of putting rookie Jantel Lavender (21 points, nine rebounds) and top reserve Kristi Toliver (17 points, five assists) in as starters. A 16-point showing by Storm star Swin Cash in the third quarter altered the game, however. "Who knows, probably should have played them longer. But it at least gave me something to look at and something to look forward to down the road. "It is tough and it bothers me (benching Ticha and Tina), because I understand what they're going through. Sometimes you have to make changes." Whether Bryant returns Penicheiro and Thompson to the starting lineup will be known on Tuesday when the Sparks play at San Antonio. But Toler did have to seize the timing of a coaching change. Quickly nearing the halfway point of the WNBA season, LA already lost ground with the loss to Seattle in attempts to get in the playoff race. Still, they're not far behind with the 4-6 record. Phoenix tops the West by wins with a 8-4 record. LA is on a five-game losing streak, its longest since 2007. Gillom, who began her career at Minnesota, has battled injuries throughout her tenure in LA. Last season All-Star Candace Parker played just 10 games due to shoulder surgery and this season the 2008 MVP is out with a knee injury. Gillom was also without F LaToya Pringle (ankle) on Saturday, who could have helped put defensive pressure on Cash, who scored a game-high 26 points. A former WNBA favorite as a player for Phoenix, Gillom was 17-27 in her stint as Sparks coach, getting swept by Seattle in the opening round of the 2010 playoffs. Toler and Gillom were not immediately made available for comment. LA's coaching change joins Tulsa's move on Saturday. Coach Nolan Richardson stepped down and Hall of Famer Teresa Edwards has replaced him. The Shock is 1-11, joining the Sparks as the only teams without a win on the road. *PHOTO CREDIT: Joe Bryant returns to LA Sparks' head position by Jeff Lewis of The Associated Press Comments

Soteriology is basically the study of salvation in the Bible. Soteriology is a major theme in the Bible and a proper understanding of it makes clear the answer to man's greatest need, salvation. Salvation is deliverance from sin, death, and eternal punishment to spiritual blessings seen both now and in an eternal life with God.
