Stuff Hotel
Do I have to sign a lease and what is the minimum rental commitment?
Stuff Hotel storage units and office warehouses are leased month-to-month. You must sign a rental agreement which is automatically renewed each month until you move out. The minimum rental period is one month, though you may move out sooner, of course. You may rent the storage unit for as long as you want as long as you continue to pay your monthly rent. P.O. boxes have an initial minimum rental of 6 months and then are month-to-month after the initial six months.
When is my rent due?
Your rent is due monthly on the anniversary date of your move-in. For example, if you rented your unit on the 7th day of the month, your rent will be due the 7th of each month.
How often do you raise rental rates?
We guarantee your regular monthly rental rate for 12 months (this does not include any special rates or discounts you may have received at move-in). The industry standard is to raise rents every 6 to 9 months, but we would rather be exceptional than standard!
Do you refund prorated rent if I move out early?
We do not refund rent if you move out before the end of your monthly rental period.
Do you send invoices for monthly rent?
Stuff Hotel e-mails invoices to customers free of charge. You may request a mailed invoice for an additional fee of $1 added to your monthly rent. We encourage you to take advantage of e-mailed invoicing to save trees and money!
What information do I need to provide when renting a storage unit?
You will need to provide the following information when renting a storage unit from Stuff Hotel:
• Identification (driver's license or valid state or government issued I.D.)
• Name
• Mailing address
• E-mail address (optional, but necessary for e-mail invoicing)
• Phone number
• Date of birth
• Secondary contact name and phone number
What is a secondary contact and why do I need one?
A secondary contact is someone who will be able to reach you should we have trouble contacting you (e.g., your spouse, partner, parent, child, sibling, close friend, etc.). People often forget to notify their self storage facility when they change addresses or phone numbers and we want to make sure you and your belongings don't get separated. If we can't reach you at the address and phone number you have provided, we will call your secondary contact.
Do you require a deposit or charge other fees when renting?
We do not require a deposit when you rent your unit. We do charge a one-time $15 to $20 (depending on facility) administrative fee when you first rent your unit. You receive a
high quality
disc or cylinder lock with this fee.
How long does it take to rent a unit?
We know you are busy so we work hard to have you ready to move into your unit in under 15 minutes.
What payment methods do you accept and how can I pay my rent?
We accept the following forms of payment:
• Credit and debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express)
• Checks
• Money orders
• Cash
You may pay for your unit using the following methods:
• Automatic payments drawn on your credit/debit card (contact your
facility office
to sign up).
through our website with a credit/debit card.
• Phone with a credit/debit card.
• Mail with check or money order.
• In-person.
Never miss a payment (and avoid late fees) by signing up for automatic payments!
Does Stuff Hotel insure my belongings?
No, we do not provide insurance. Renting a self storage unit is similar to renting an apartment in that you are responsible for insuring your belongings. You should check with your home or rental insurance provider to see if your policy covers your belongings when they are in a self storage unit. If not, you may choose to insure your belongings through an insurance company specializing in self storage insurance. We will provide you with information on an insurance provider when you rent your unit.
Does Stuff Hotel provide a lock for my unit?
Yes, we provide you with your own personal high quality disc or cylinder lock for your unit. We find these types of locks to be the most secure in protecting your stuff. The lock is covered in the administrative fee and is yours to keep after you move out.
If I forget my gate access code, can I call you for it?
We can not give you your gate access code over the phone. You will need to come to the office and show us your identification before we can give you your code. This ensures that imposters do not gain access to the facility.
What are the gate access hours? Does the gate work even if the office is closed?
Every facility has different gate access hours, which you will find listed on each facility page. You have access to the property 365 days a year, during the gate access hours, even if the office is closed.
What happens if I am still on the property after the gate access hours?
The gate will not open and you will be stuck on the property! Please time your visit to your unit so that you have plenty of time to leave the property before the end of gate access hours.
Are there items that I am not allowed to put in a storage unit?
Yes, for the safety and security of everyone, certain items are not allowed in your storage unit. Please see our Storage Restrictions* for a list of items not allowed. Also, check out our
Self Storage Packing Tips
to help you protect your stuff and make the most of your Stuff Hotel stay.
What do I do when I want to move out?
Checking out of a Stuff Hotel storage unit is simple. Just do the following and you are on your way:
• Notify the office by email, letter, phone, or in-person at least 10 days before you plan to move out.
• Clean out your unit of all belongings—do not leave anything behind!
• Remove and take your lock with you. It is your lock after all!
• Leave your unit door open.
Remember: If you do not notify the office that you are moving out, you leave any belongings in your unit, or you leave your lock on your unit, you will be charged rent!
I let my friend use my unit. I have since moved out my stuff, but my friend's stuff is still in the unit. Do I still have to pay rent even though the stuff in the unit is not mine?
Yes, since you have signed the lease, you are considered the occupant of the unit, no matter whose stuff is being stored. As long as the unit you have rented is being occupied, you are obligated to pay rent. Because of this, it is extremely important that you take this into consideration when thinking about letting other people use your unit to store their belongings. We recommend you not share your unit.
Do you have PO Boxes available?
Yes! We offer PO Boxes at the following facility locations:
Laredo, TX
McAllen, TX

In order that our pupils can attain the highest standard (spiritual, moral, social, cultural and academic), we recognise the crucial importance of an active educational partnership between home and school. Homework is just one of the ways in which we seek to foster this partnership. Homework encompasses a whole variety of activities instigated by teachers and parents to support children's learning.
Regular, well planned homework can:
- Enable pupils to make maximum progress in their academic and social development
- Develop good work habits and self discipline for the future
- Encourage skills and attitudes which help children improve their educational performance
- Help parents gain insight into their child's schoolwork and promote partnership between home and school.
- Provide opportunities for individualised work and develop skills of independent learning
- Offer access to resources not found in school (public libraries, local museums etc.)
- Consolidate and reinforce learning done in school and assist in preparation for future class work
- Provide a context for pupil/parent interaction
Homework is seen as 'an essential part of good education that supports children's development as independent learners'. We believe that homework is one of the main ways in which children can acquire the skill of independent learning.
What is Homework?
Homework should not be a chore, but children should see it as an extension of their schoolwork. There may be occasions when some tasks are more challenging or difficult than usual as homework plays a positive role in raising a child's level of attainment. We also acknowledge the important role of play and free time in a child's growth and development.
We see homework as encompassing a wide range of possibilities. The following list gives just a few examples:
- reading with a parent
- a family visit to a local museum
- undertaking individual research for a project at the local library
- learning facts
- revision for exams
- practising skills learnt in class
- literacy activities both written and verbal
- being an active member of a sports club or youth organisation
- going swimming
It can be seen from this list that homework can be a two way process. Teachers may ask for tasks to be done at home, but are delighted to learn about children's success in other aspects of their lives and will seek to recognise this in school.
When teachers set homework they will ensure that:
- It is always clearly related to current areas of study within the classroom.
- The task is made clear to children and matched to their abilities, especially for those pupils with special educational needs.
- Time scales for completion and submission are explicit.
- Work is marked as promptly as possible.
- Problems or difficulties encountered by children are dealt with swiftly.
- Regular completion of homework of a high standard is recognised and celebrated.
- All children will be expected to complete tasks. They will be given an opportunity to succeed in this through using a homework session in school leisure time if they continually fail to complete it.
Amount of homework
We increase the amount of homework that we give the children as they move through the school.
- Reception, Years 1 & 2 10 minutes per day
- Years 3, 4, 5 & 6 20 minutes per day
- Years 7 & 8 30-45 minutes per day
- Year 9 60-120 minutes per day
- Years 10 & 11 120-150 minutes per day
Please note these are guidelines and may not mean homework being given every day particularly in the primary phase.
Children who do not complete their homework may be asked to stay in to do so at the teacher's discretion. Behaviour points will be given to children who fail to hand in homework.
If a child persistently does not complete homework then the teacher may contact the parents and ask to speak to them in order for school and home to work in partnership for the benefit of the child.
The Role of Parents
Parents need to discuss with their children the following questions:
- When is it a good time to do any homework?
- Where is the best place for homework to be done?
- What helps concentration?
- How long should my homework take me?
- Who should I ask for help and how much help should I expect?
It is vital that parents display a positive attitude to homework and value its importance. It is also important for parents to recognise that it is the children's responsibility to complete the work.
The boundary between what many parents see as constructive help and what children view as interference, is indistinct and can vary from day to day. Parents need to listen to the child's explanation of what they have to do and discuss the work their child is doing and whether or not help is needed plus what form this might take.
Pupils with special educational needs
We set homework for all children as a normal part of school life. We ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to the ability of the child. If a child has special needs, we endeavour to adapt any task set so that all children can contribute in a positive way.
Reception to Yr2 are provided with a homework book with information on tasks to complete.
All pupils from Yr 3 upwards are given a 'pupil planner' and are also expected to record details of homework that is set. This is regularly checked by class teachers and we ask parents to sign the weekly diary, to indicate that work has been done. There is space for comments from parents and teachers. We do ask parents to consult the form tutor or Head of House if, over a period of time, their child is not doing homework or is spending excessive time on the completion of set assignments.

Remove the valve from the shipping package (box or pallet) with care taken to avoid any damage to the valve and actuator (plus accessories where applicable). •Before installation, remove the seal discs from the flange. Clean the inside of the valve using an air line that includes an appropriate air-filter. Ensure that there are no solid objects such as pieces of wood, plastic or packing materials within the valve or on the valve seat. •Confirm that the materials of construction listed on the valve nameplates are appropriate for the service intended for and are as specified. When in doubt contact KTM, or your local Tyco facility. •Define the preferred mounting orientation with respect to the system pressure. The arrow on the body helps to identify the upstream side (high pressure) and downstream side (low pressure). •Ensure that all stud bolts and nuts of the body joint are firmly fastened. Caution •Verify that the direction of the flow in the line corresponds to the arrow indicated on the valve body. Valves without the arrow are bi-directional. •See the Actuator User Manual for the actuator preparation. 2.2. Installation Instructions •Ball valves are normally installed in horizontal pipes with the stem facing up. However, there are no limitations regarding the pipe or stem orientation. •Unless otherwise recommended by KTM, the valve should be installed with the ball in the open position, to ensure that the seat rings are not damaged during installation. •Particular care should be taken for valves equipped with "fail-close" actuators. •For operating temperatures above 200°C (392°F), thermal insulation of the valve body is recommended to protect the actuator/accessories from heat beyond the recommended temperature range. •Handling and lifting of the valves during installation MUST be performed following the same criteria and instructions described in points 1.2. and 1.3

In the movie, No Time For Sergeants, Private Stockdale, played by Andy Griffith, gives every indication he'd fallen off the proverbial turnip truck as a female officer approached. He'd never seen a female officer as his jaw dropped to indicate the stupor of thought. The lecture by the Captain for not saluting an officer, regardless of gender, is taken to heart as Stockdale gathers himself, still holding the salute long after the Captain has walked off.
A very short while later he's at the mess hall prior to having an eye exam, part of the processing tests to determine the next level of training and assignment. When a rather nice looking female Captain walks in, one that has most everyone turning to admire her form, his sergeant asks him if he sees the attractive female Captain.
Squinting his eyes as he studies the situation over, "I don't see no woman, I only sees a Captain". His sergeant rolls his eyes up in his head considering the necessity of having each and every new enlistee being processed out; his own job is threatened. There's no way this idiot's going to pass any eye exam, there's no way he's going to process out.
Now apply this comical example of obligatory respect to the office of President of the United States. At one time we had people who were referred to as the Loyal Opposition, folks who didn't' want Donald Trump, folks who thought Hillary Clinton should have won or folks who believe any and all the negative propaganda being shared on public forums or the large news media outlets; apply the same basic obligatory respect, not because you now have to respect Donald Trump; but because he is in fact the President. It really is that simple.
Repeat in your mind, even if you don't quite understand the principle just explained, "I don't see Donald Trump, a man I can't stand and who has no business being President. I only see a President."
Now act in a civil manner and wait for the next election; but stop the never ending whining and belittling of our President. The rest of the world is watching and this childish behavior is embarrassing.

Ken Kutaragi, who helped invent Sony Corp's PlayStation game console, said creating a single standard for new DVDs that can store more high-definition movies and pictures than current discs is unlikely.
Sony and Matsushita Electric Industrial Co, which lead a group that developed the Blu-ray disc, have been in talks to unify their format with the HD DVD disc promoted by Toshiba Corp and NEC Corp. The competing formats for the new DVDs promise high-definition pictures, better sound quality, more capacity and improved copyright protection than standard DVDs.
The chances of unifying the formats are "almost none," Kutaragi, president of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc, said yesterday at a meeting with reporters in Tokyo. "It's very difficult."
Sony is counting on the support of film studios and game software developers to make Blu-ray the dominant standard, and already has the backing of Walt Disney Co and Electronic Arts Inc. The Tokyo-based company is trying to avoid a repeat of past failures, such as its Betamax format losing out to VHS as the video standard more than two decades ago.
"A unified market can help the company increase its content quickly," said Ken Kamoshita, who manages the equivalent of US$25 million, including Sony shares, at Tokyo-based DLIBJ Asset Management. "A breakdown in talks would make many things uncertain in that business."
Blu-ray discs have as much as 20 times more storage capacity than the 4.7 gigabytes offered by current DVDs, while HD DVD can store about 10 times more data.
Both sides have highlighted the problems in creating a unified standard for the discs, which use a blue laser to read and record information. Blu-ray's recording layer is located 0.1mm from the surface of the disc, compared with 0.6mm for HD DVD.
"With the dialogue focusing on 0.1 and 0.6, there is no way for the two sides to divide things fairly," Kutaragi said.

Jerry began his career in radio as a high school student in 1984 but he actually spent a lot of years in radio stations during his early years. His brother, Larry, was a DJ in Dallas and eventually opened a successful jingle business. In the fall of 1993, CBS Radio launched the ARROW format in Houston and hired Jerry to do morning drive. After several years in Houston radio, he moved to Seattle and began doing voiceovers full-time. Today, Jerry is heard on daily on radio and TV station imaging and commercials around the world.

Bush-regime evangelical clientelism propelled Uganda to the homosexual hate hysteria it currently stews in.
The Rev. Kapya Kaoma, a Zambian, went undercover for 6 months in Uganda, to witness and report that US evangelicals, who thanks to the Bush regime wield enormous power in Uganda, provided the legitimacy and facade of expertise for the promotion of homophobic hysteria in Uganda and the country's institution in 2009 of a death penalty for gay people.
With the turnover in US leadership, American conservative evangelicals, a major client of the Bush regime, were assured by the Obama administration that they would not face reduced public funding of their "social service" activities, which include campaigning against human and civil rights for gays, and proselytizing for their religious sects in countries like Uganda.
The recent relevation that conservative evangelicals (Scott Lively, Caleb Lee Brundidge, and Don Schmierer) have spurred murderous state policy in Uganda strengthens the case against ending remaining clientelistic relationships between the US state and the Republican clients, as conservative evangelicals had attempted to hide the nature of their activities in Uganda, presenting a more moderate face in the US. It is now much more difficult to see where "compassionate" conservatism ends and barbarous conservatism begins.
But for all their US-side claims to civility, as missionary Scott Lively blogged proudly, his campaign was ""a nuclear bomb against the gay agenda in Uganda." Or a nuclear bomb against human rights, more accurately.

In 2018, Taiwan, Christian Gospel Mission gave glory to God through a grand choir and orchestra performance. Praising the song, "Victory", composed by Pastor Jung Myung Seok, the choir and orchestra weaved together brilliant melody and deep thankfulness into a masterpiece.

A rollercoaster journey revisiting the Sunday Message titles preached by Pastor Jung Myung Seok in 2017, Christian Gospel Mission (Providence). Happy Reflecting!
Dr Suen, a researcher and computer security expert from Singapore, testifies about his first hand experience with Pastor Jung Myung Seok. He witnessed Pastor Jung's dedication to counselling and taking care of God's sheep, pushing on in spite of his own fatigue.
The bible study and Pastor Jung's life moved Dr Suen to believe in the Trinity and live a Christian life of faith, completely transforming his life. Dr Suen's testimony is an example that the words preached in Providence can even transform the most logical and sceptical audience.
Shaun McMillan, a professional animator and game designer from the United States of America, shares a testimony of Pastor Jung Myung Seok, whom he calls teacher or "son saeng nim" in Korean.
Despite tribulations, why did Shaun believe in Pastor Jung's teachings about the Trinity and why does Shaun continue to preach the word of Providence in his daily life?
Hear his heartfelt story.
Taiwan's EB TV network featured the testimonies of ordinary members in CGM (Christian Gospel Mission).
Through the Word of God, numerous members testified of how they were transformed into unanticipated successes through the teachings and personal example of Pastor Jung Myung Seok.
Taiwan's BC TV network featured the testimonies of ordinary members in CGM (Christian Gospel Mission).
Through the Word of God, numerous members testified of how they were transformed into unanticipated successes through the teachings and personal example of Pastor Jung Myung Seok:
An unassuming man from a humble village background, achieved the nation's Outstanding Electrical Engineer of the Year award.
A boy who lived in poverty later became a management consultant in the nation's coveted Taiwan 101 at the age of 21.
An indigenous Taiwanese scholar from the Luantian tribe who testifies about his participant observation of Providence and Pastor Jung Myung Seok.
A female doctor who was healed of a rare immunity disease that debilitated her, after the prayers and personal guidance of Pastor Jung.
These testimonies reveal the truth of God's working through Pastor Jung's life, and the untruths of malicious media portrayals on CGM and Pastor Jung that exist today:
#providence religious movement, #providence church korea, #providence 30 lessons #jung myung seok
Taiwan's SETN news network broadcasted a heartwarming feature about Chinese Christian Youth Association's (Christian Gospel Mission (Taiwan)'s youth arm) celebration of Mother's Day in 2009.
CGM's children dressed up in cute animal costumes and performed for their mothers, followed by a personalized message of thanks to their own parents. CGM also organized outdoor activities for the families, such as a spring onion picking session in Yilan County. Through faith in God, families – the fundamental building blocks of society – are strengthened and unified. This then contributes to a strong and virtuous society.
Hear the testimonies of some of these families who are part of the Christian Gospel Mission, founded by Pastor Jung Myung Seok (turn on english subtitles on youtube):
Christian Gospel Mission (Providence)'s Peace Medical Corp was established in 2005, focusing on the fundamental values of medical care, practicing Christ's spirit of loving lives, and conveying love and peace through medical care all over the world.
In this featured video, CGM's Peace Medical Corp reaches out to special needs children in Harmony Home. These children have severe development challenges, which prevents them from communicating in a normal way even as they grow up. Despite challenges to earn the trust of these children, through regularly visits and a display of love for them, the children have began to trust the medical volunteers and have shown significant improvement in their social abilities.
Even then, it is easy for medical volunteers to perform these acts because of obligation or simply as a routine. The volunteers breakthrough these keeping in mind the teachings of Pastor Jung Myung Seok, who has taught them that "The fundamental element of medical care is to love life. It is to restore the value of lives." Therefore, the volunteers treat each life as a unique and irreplaceable person, and are reminded of the fundamental element of medical care that Pastor Jung Myung Seok has taught.
The featured video (to view the english translation, turn on subtitles on youtube):
These days, Christianity in Korea is in need of a big paradigm shift like in the days of Copernicus in terms of the goals and direction the churches need to strive for, the Word given to them in the Bible and the responsibilities related to it, their sense for history, and the ability to discern between what is intrinsic and what is extrinsic. In this kind of situation, President Jung is attempting to present a new vision of Christianity that fits this time period.
Working during the day and studying at night, through the 30 years of his life of prayer, he received the Lord.
Normally people tend to consider what is concrete and visible as important, but intangible things can have tens or hundreds of times more importance than what is concrete. There are cases when something concrete and visible only gains meaning and displays its value when it gains an intangible quality, which exists invisibly. We have witnessed these cases over and over from biographies of saints and the philosophers of the world.
In order to actualize the gospel of Christianity on this earth, as a faithful worker or pastor, one does not need an academic degree, a title, or a fancy position.
Instead of these things, what one needs is the ability to take care of one's flock of sheep better than anybody else, a more clear and precise understanding of the sheep's pain, grief, and life joys and sorrows, time to spend with one's sheep, and the ability to actualize an open heart of giving in one's daily life. In terms of numbers, the size of christianity is grand to the point that you can see a cross–a sign of a church–every 10 blocks, but the doctrine of christianity is losing its light and is in a situation similar to the high priest Eli whom God left. At this time when people are wondering about truth, President Jung's message that illuminates the truth in a new way is very convicting.
The ultimate reason religion exists is to lead human beings to a better way of living and teach people to embrace socially neglected classes of people so that all members of society can live happily. President Jung is a person who realized himself, in the process of learning about his life of faith, that religion should not be just a prodigious theory but a lifestyle, and he worked to actualize this realization in his daily life.
He said, "I met Jesus in person during my extreme life of prayer, and while serving and loving him like a lover, I received wisdom and the truth behind how to serve the Heavens and save lives. My one and only teacher is Jesus Christ, God, and the Holy Spirit. I came to understand the way to testify about the Trinity and realized the deep heart of the Heavens by loving and serving God and Jesus solely with the mentality and thoughts of God and Jesus."
When he became 33 years old in January 1978, President Jung wrapped up his ascetic life in the mountains and came down. He compiled the original notes that he wrote down from the Word that he received from the Heavens and made 120 pages of charts for months. That year, at the end of May, he packed the notes and the charts, went to Seoul, and devoted his ministry to evangelizing youths.
"We can't deny that history has been changing according to the times. If Christianity in Korea blindly obeys the doctrine, which has become a dogma to them, while focusing on mysticism and the simple and blind ritualism of asking for blessings, disregarding religious essential truth, it can easily approach the general public, but it will not be able to save thisgeneration, save human beings' spirits, nor help people take action upon the Will of God. In order to understand the Bible correctly, we have to interpret the parables in the Bible correctly. Once the parables are interpreted correctly, the secrets of the Heavens and the purpose of God's creation, and furthermore, the purpose of life can be understood. Christian churches view the Bible with an incorrect perception. They interpret the Bible in a singular and literal way, being bound to its doctrine without considering the pertaining time period or science. That's why they cannot properly interpret the Bible, which was written with symbols and parables," Jung said.
"God is not the one who is confined within the frame of religion. He is the god of religion, the god of science, the god of philosophy, the god of literacy, and the god of art. He is the god of everything. That is why the true truth has to make sense not only religiously but also scientifically and philosophically," he explained.
Within the short time period of 25 years, the Christian Gospel Mission has grown rapidly into a ministry organization where 200,000 young people have gathered, and they have currently spread the gospel to 50 nations. The Mission said that the deciding factor of their achievements thus far is President Jung's open view of religion and the world. Its success hinged on this point.
"Jesus took care of the sick and the poor. Healing the sick and looking after the poor was originally my job and mission. This work always has to be done with a thankful, grateful, and joyful heart. What I mean is that I did not suffer from doing it. It was my duty. Even in the future, I will keep taking care of the sick and those who are hurt. This is the mission I have during this time," President Jung said.
He keeps the absolute commision, "While we are alive, we should make Heaven on earth" and takes it beyond the logic of salvation, which is, "Let's believe God and go to Heaven after death."
During his ascetic life, he went through so many situations and difficulties. During the process, he heard voices from the Heavens, received inspirations and word related to life, and realized many things personally, and he has been spreading the gospel and leaving it etched in history through his writings and drawings.
At a big evangelism rally, a publication party for The Book of Salvation, which President Jung wrote while he was abroad, was held at the Wolmyeongdong retreat center on May 29. The essence of salvation is broken down in the book for readers to understand easily. Some reviews stated that the book was so fun to read while touching on profound truths that once the readers started to read, they couldn't let go of the book.
Even though he has never received professional art education, with the inspiration that he has received from the Heavens and the talent that he was born with, his art pieces transcend existing styles of art. You can see examples of his paintings displayed at the Gusang Art Gallery in Wolmyeongdong. He is also active in creating cultural exchanges as a chairman of the Global Peace and Cultural Union.
A painting that President Jung drew
This painting was drawn when Jung received an inspiration that brushed by his mind. The allegorical expressions relayed skillfully by the power of a brush stroke contains powerful messages. A snail is trying to climb up a cliff in the painting. He falls from the cliff but does not give up and climbs up again, and when he falls again, he climbs up again. After several attempts, he barely makes it to the peak and shouts, "Ah! I've finally made it." However, just as he was about to take a rest, a stork walks up to him from behind and says, "Jackpot!" and goes to peck at him to eat him. This painting depicts the moment that determines the snail's destiny.
The painter depicted the image of God's face with clouds in the sky, and conveyed the feeling within God's eyes, which show that he is searching with fiery eyes for the righteous to see if there is even one righteous man in the world. The background is drawn symbolically: from the right to the left, you can see Namdaemun*, the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea, chimneys of factories, the Trade Center, the 63 building, the Twin Towers, a sun village* where wealthy people live, and a moon village* and a milky way village* where poor people live, which are located on the very top of a mountain and the closest to the sky. Also, in front of Namdaemun*, there are people who are worshiping idols before steles. The idol worshiper who is dark and has a tail is a monkey, which conveys the idea that idol worshippers are inferior than animals. It is the eyes of God, the Divine Being, who is anxiously looking for the righteous in the world.
(Translator's note:
* In Korean, "sun village" is a name that is used to define an area where wealthy people live, and "moon village" and "milky way village" are names that are used to define an area where poor people live. Usually, moon and milky way villages are located high up on mountains since the price of those areas are cheap.
* Namdaemun is the Southern Great Gate of Seoul.)

Hey all! I've been reading 50 Shades of Grey recently. Just on whim, I had found the download and I decided that I would have a read. Not even knowing what it was.
I finally got around to reading it, after finishing the entire Hunger Gamers trilogy. Whew that was some intense reading btw! I love hate how it ended. But I digress, I started the first few pages of 50 Shades of Grey, and I wondered why I had such a weird feeling about reading this book. So I decided to check Wikipedia for a synopsis, and boy was I shocked! It's about BDSM. I nearly had a heartattack.
But, I decided to continue reading because I hate starting books and never finishing them. I must say, some things in this book are rather interesting, however it takes a lot of willpower to want to read any further. I want to know what happens to the characters in the end, and yet at the same time, I want something seriously bad to happen to the female protagonist. She's just too annoying to me and Christian Grey is an ill humoured freakshow. That's the best way to describe him.
I have less than 100 more pages to read and I just do not want to read them. This is the most annoying thing ever! How can I not want to read it, yet want to find out what happens at the end of the book? Another thing which is putting me off from this book is knowing there are sequels and thus, the ending will be some sort of lead on junk. Ugh, frustrates me to no end.
Away from crazy books, I have some new videos coming up soon, one will be a short series, directed by my boyfriend, Tyrell, so be on the look out for it. It's a Complications of Infatuation (COI) with a twist. Also the boyfriend tag has been requested, so we'll be working on that soon also.
I am yet to film my $20 (USD, I hope haha) make up challenge. I keep forgetting everytime I come to film. I can say that the part that would worry me the most about this tag is putting on foundation with just my fingers, because I hate stuff under my nails.
I've been hoping to bring back my Asian Candy series. I really miss watching Asian Dramas, especially now the local network has decided to start showing one. Jewel in the Palace (Dae Jang Geum). I'm in love with it! So what do you think? Bring back the Asian Drama suggestions monthly?
I hope you haven't been reading any awful books like me. And if you have hopefully the ending justifies the means. I cannot wait to finish that book. Have a nice Sunday and a great week!

Discussion Paper 34
Output and productivity growth in the healthcare sector: a study of four European countries
Antonia Hüttl1, Matilde Mas2, Agnes Nagy1, Mary O'Mahony3, Erika Schulz4 and Lucy Stokes5
1 Kopint‐Tárki Konjunktúrakutató Intézet Zrt (TARKI), Budapest, Hungary
2 Instituto Valenciano de Investigaciones Económicas (IVIE), Valencia, Spain
3 Birmingham Business School (BHAM), Birmingham, UK
4 Deutsches Institut fuer Wirtschaftsforschung (DIW), Berlin, Germany
5 National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR), London
This research compares output and productivity across healthcare sectors in four European countries, Germany, Hungary, Spain and the United Kingdom. Systems of health care provision vary across the countries. In the UK and Spain most health care relies largely on public funding and public provision, although the prevalence of private hospitals is greater in Spain. The German system is one of universal insurance coverage with a mix of public and private providers. Following the collapse of the Communist regime, Hungary has moved from a wholly state controlled system to one that is close to the German approach. Through measuring both hospital and non-hospital outputs, and comparing with inputs used, the research can highlight aspects of cross country variation in terms of who is treated, types of treatments and resources employed.
The next section briefly discusses the methodology employed – more detail is provided in earlier companion papers, Hüttl et al. (2011). We then discuss data availability and some of the issues that arose in trying to populate the database. This is followed by a discussion of the results and some conclusions on the feasibility of carrying out international comparisons of performance in healthcare sectors.

I am going to try something new this year. I thought it was something we would all enjoy, and who doesn't need more joy :) I will post a Christmas card every month on the 25th to keep us all inspired and to build up our stock of cards to send next year. So here we go with Christmas in January!
This card just popped into my head almost fully formed. I love that! I wanted the sentiment to weave through the wreath, and to have pretty white berries on the wreath. The rest was the result of what was laying on my desk. Yes, my desk is rather messy at times...
And here is how I made this card:
- Take a piece of Crumb Cake card stock that is at least 4"x4", cut the center of the wreath out with the framelit.
- Stamp the wreath in Mossy Meadow. Stamp the just-a-few-leaves stamp in Mossy Meadow again. This makes those leaves just slightly darker than the rest.
- Dry the ink with the heat tool, wipe with the Embossing Buddy so the embossing powder doesn't stick tot eh wrong stuff. Stamp the berries in Versamark. Sprinkle with White embossing powder and heat set.
- Die cut the outer edge of the wreath.
- Cut a piece of Whisper white to 4"x5¼". Emboss with the Softly Falling folder.
- Cut a strip of DSP to 2"x5¼". Adhere to the left side of the White panel, leaving about ½" of white exposed to the left of the panel.
- Cut a piece of Vellum to 1-3/8"x4". Wipe with Embossing Buddy, stamp sentiment in Versamark on the Vellum. Sprinkle with Gold embossing powder, and heat set.
- Weave the vellum strip through the wreath, flip over and apply dimensionals to the wreath all the way around, Some of the dimensionals will be stuck to the vellum. Stick this down to the White panel after getting your placement the way you want it.
- Optional: Stitch around the panel with sewing machine.
- Adhere completed panel to a Crumb Cake card base.
- Ink up the bow stamp in Cherry Cobbler, stamp off once, the stamp in the center of the inside of the card. Stamp the greeting message in Early Espresso over the top of the bow.
This is what the inside looks like. So, what do you think? Will you be pulling out your Christmas stamps with me for the year? Please comment below to share your thoughts!

(Moon and Stars watermelon)
As most of my friends know, I am a keen and adventurous gardener! Spending a lot of time in the country during my childhood gave me an appreciation for the art – and hard work – of growing food. I will never forget eating the first young beans I grew, or shelling the first peas. It was like magic. Since then, my love for gardening has continued and I have always had fresh herbs and vegetables on hand, even when I lived in an apartment! In anticipation of winter I have planted three types of beans, two of peas and am preparing for an assortment of root vegetables. And I have a large container for my Jerusalem Artichoke – you only make that mistake once. As much as growing, I enjoy cooking and of course, eating! My grandmother was always a fan of salt and I inherited her love of flavour.
As a child I would always sprinkle a flake or two of salt on a fresh picked tomato or a sprinkle in a summer salad, bursting out hidden layers of flavour. I still make my own salt-preserved lemons each year. But it was Eve Minax who, during a trip to San Francisco, introduced me to the world of gourmet salts. Her passion for food and her collection of exotic and wonderfully flavoured crystals inspired me to start my own. From the classic rosemary salt to the sulfurous black salt, my taste buds have delighted in the strong and subtle flavours such salts can enhance and create in food I have grown.
Strong and subtle is how I would describe my favourite coffee. Rich and earthy, with a scent that fills my home every morning. I remember waking to the smell of freshly percolated coffee every day, and I have continued this morning ritual as an adult. Although, I am grateful the invention of the Aeropress has meant I no longer have to travel with my beloved Moka pot! I will always remember seeing the red coffee berries growing on trees in Timor, and walking past Cooperativa Café Timor every day I was in Dili. And nearly having my kilos and kilos of coffee confiscated by customs during my second Timor visit! It remains my favourite coffee and it is indeed available in Australia.
The family tradition of growing food awakened my passion for enhancing food flavours, which converge in my morning ritual of fresh coffee.
I'd love to hear your thoughts, traditions, passions and rituals. What is an unlikely tradition that you have inherited? Do you have a unique passion? How do you start your day?

In about 10 months, my current DVR will be useful only as a boat anchor. HD DVRs are not available without some sort of continuous payments to a cable or satellite company. The only thing available are DVRs with SDTV tuners. Unless OTA HD DVR's become available, will an SDTV tuner equipped DVR record an HDTV show, albeit at the lower resolution?
I don't believe they will.
From dtv.gov FAQ's
"Your Television
If I want a new TV, will I have to buy a High Definition TV (HDTV) to watch digital broadcast television after the transition?
No. It is important to understand that the DTV transition is a transition from analog broadcasting to digital broadcasting. It is not a transition from analog broadcasting to High Definition broadcasting. Digital broadcasting allows for High Definition broadcasts, but High Definition is not required, and you do not need to buy a HDTV to watch digital TV. A Standard Definition DTV (which is simply a TV with an internal digital tuner), or a digital-to-analog converter box hooked to an analog TV, is all that is required to continue watching over-the-air broadcast television. Digital broadcast television includes Standard Definition (SD) and High Definition (HD) formats. You can watch High Definition programming on a Standard Definition DTV (or on an analog TV hooked to a digital-to-analog converter box), but it won't be in full High Definition quality. It is also important to know that Standard Definition DTVs are comparably priced to similar sized analog TVs."
I would still rather get an HD DVR, but every time a company announces plans to sell one, TiVo sues them. We need a consumer group to sue TiVo for monopolizing the market.
Interesting .... though i'm curious since the SD tuner works with interlaced signals how it would process the progressive scan signal?
With the 1080i it may work though being degraded down to 480i ...... but with 720p or 1080p can't see how the SD tuner would process it.
Well now the SD DVRs have been pulled from the market. Right now there will be no DVR available after 2/9/09 unless you get it from TiVo. Isn't that a monopoly?

All current OTA digital TV tuners are able to down-convert an HDTV picture to some lower resolution for display (or storage, where applicable). The same is not true of satellite TV, where most SDTV boxes are not able to convert a larger HDTV picture into anything even remotely watchable, even if all other signal characteristics (such as compression and modulation type) were to happen to match.
I just got an HD DVR from Dish Network that only does OTR, doesn't work with Dish Network, go figure. Its got two tuners and records about 30 hours of HD or 150 SD. Yo cannot chose, it records what is broadcast. It downloads about a weeks schedule from each of the stations and is easy to select a program to record, not as good as TIVO (or so I've heard) or a unit with the TV guide plus built in, but its OK
Cost is only $250 and its called DTV pal DVR
They also sell a converter box that works with a G-Link. DTV pal plus. I'm getting that next as it will revive my old DVR and it even updates the old box to the new digital TV guide through the use of an alternate zip code. Its about $70, it is coupon eligible but I've already used up my coupons.
I do still use my old DVR for low priority shows, but it has to be programmed manually like the old VCR's and you have to remember to set the channel on the converter box before the show starts, or what ever the converter box is tuned to will get recorded.
But now I do know the answer to my question, an SDTV tuner will record an HD show, but only at the lower SD quality. But thats still better than analog.

PARIS — Three women behind a thwarted attack near Notre Dame Cathedral were radicalized by Islamic State commanders in Syria, and one had been engaged to an extremist who killed a priest in July, the Paris prosecutor said Friday.
Francois Molins spoke a day after three women were dramatically arrested over the failed attack that centered on a car discovered Sunday morning in central Paris abandoned and loaded with gas canisters. No detonators were found in the car.
"In the last few days and hours a terrorist cell was dismantled, composed of young women totally receptive to the deadly Daesh ideology," Molins said, using another term for the IS group.
The women who spearheaded the failed plot included a 19-year-old whose father owned the abandoned Peugeot car. Her written pledge of allegiance to the Islamic State group was found by police, a security official said Friday.
The teen, Ines Madani, stabbed a police officer with a knife and was shot in the leg Thursday evening in a raid south of Paris, police said. She was being treated in a hospital.
Five women and two men have been arrested in the case.
One of the women detained in a police raid, referred to as Sarah H. and who was wearing a veil, was betrothed separately to two French extremists who carried out deadly attacks this year, the Paris prosecutor said.
Sarah H. was engaged to Larossi Abballa, who killed two police officials in Magnanville in June and filmed the aftermath on Facebook Live before dying in a police raid.
She was also betrothed to Adel Kermiche, who slit the throat of an elderly French priest during morning Mass in July before being killed by police, Molins added. He didn't say when she was engaged to either man.
France's interior minister described the pursuit as "a race against time" to find Madani and the two women with her before they could strike.
A man arrested Thursday also had ties to Abballa, one of the officials said.
"There's a group that has been annihilated, but there are others," French President Francois Hollande said Friday. "Information we were able to get from our intelligence services allowed us to act before it was too late."
A security official, who also cannot be identified when speaking about the investigation, said Madani had pulled a knife during the raid outside a small apartment building near the Boussy-Saint-Antoine train station.
In video filmed by a neighbor, a veiled woman, her face uncovered, is seen being carried away by police as she cries out "Allahu Akbar" or "God is the Greatest" in Arabic.
A plot conceived and carried out by a group of women would mark a new step in the Islamic State group's attempts to sow fear in Europe.
"It's at the same time rare and predictable," Matthieu Suc, author of "Wives of Jihadis," told France Info radio.
Women in the group do not take part in attacks, he said, but are there "to ensure the longevity of the caliphate" by having babies and providing moral support. But, he added, "there are often young girls, who are just as radicalized as the young men, and they also want the status of martyr, and they want to act."
The car loaded with gas cylinders belonged to Madani's father, who flagged her to police on Sunday 14 hours after the vehicle was discovered. Since then, authorities have worked frantically to untangle the relationships within the group and thwart what they increasingly feared was another plot.
More than one-third of the nearly 700 French citizens who have reached the war zones of Iraq and Syria are women, according to government figures. And officials have said for months that those being recruited by Islamic State in France are increasingly adolescent girls and young women.
Security around Paris was visibly higher Friday as the investigation widened.
A bomb squad, sniffer dogs and a scanner were deployed when a gas canister with a timer but no detonator was found outside a police station Friday morning in the suburb town of La Plaine Saint Denis, just north of Paris, a local police official said.
In a sign of fraying nerves, the son of a gas delivery driver was briefly detained because he had canisters in his car. Elsewhere, police in Paris used explosives to disable an illegally parked motorcycle.
Explosive gas canisters filled with nails were the weapon used in bomb attacks by Algerian extremists on Paris in the 1990s.

We have all experienced dry skin at some point during our life. For some people it is a temporary and a short-lasting phenomenon and for others, dry skin is something that they experience every winter, or possibly all year long. Ordinarily, dry skin isn't serious, but it can be uncomfortable and unsightly, turning plump cells into shriveled ones and creating fine lines and wrinkles.
Causes for Dry skin are:
- Skin is driest in winter, when temperatures and humidity levels go down.
- Taking hot, long baths.
- Using harsh shampoo and detergent.
- Sun-damage due to too much exposure may give a dry skin appearance.
- Atopic dermatitis is a type of eczema which causes dry skin.
- Psoriasis is a skin condition that is marked by a rapid buildup of rough, dry, dead skin cells that form thick scales.
In many cases dry skin condition can be cured by making a few changes in your routine. Moisturizing is the key for people experiencing dry skin. Moisturizer should be applied twice daily. Cutting back on the length of your shower or showering with lukewarm water will allow many to see a vast improvement in their dry skin condition. But if you have dry skin due to psoriasis then at Dr Mushtaq's Skin Clinic clinic we treat our patients with a procedure called Light therapy or photo therapy. Phototherapy uses UVA or UVB rays which recreates the sun's effect in a controlled, medical environment.

As the famous saying goes, "Beauty lies in the eyes of beholderâ€, here I will bring forth the top fifteen most beautiful eyes in the world which according to me are my favorite picks.
I remembered my childhood days, when I used to wake up to a big poster of Madhubala in my big brother's room and used to admire her beauty and mesmerizing eyes which were so expressive. I consider her eyes to be simply out of this world. She had the ability to infuse real emotions in a simple picture with her eyes.

Apart from the fact that she has different color of the eyes after a major eye problem which led to temporary blindness in one eye, she still topped the list of the most sensuous women in the past year.

Carter, James (DNB00)
CARTER, JAMES (1798–1855), engraver, was born in the parish of Shoreditch in 1798, and in his youth gained the silver medal of the Society of Arts for drawing. He was first articled to Mr. Tyrrel, an architectural engraver, but later on abandoned this class of engraving for landscapes and figures. In this style he attained great proficiency, although he does not appear to have had any instruction after he quitted Mr. Tyrrel. From 1830 to 1840 he was employed largely on engravings for the annuals, especially Jennings's 'Landscape Annual,' for which he executed several plates after Samuel Prout, David Roberts, and James Holland. He was also employed by Weale, the fine art publisher, in numerous architectural works. When the engravings from the Vernon Gallery appeared in the 'Art Journal,' Carter was entrusted with the task of engraving 'The Village Festival,' painted by Goodall. This was followed in the same series by engravings from 'The Angler's Nook,' painted by Nasmyth, and 'Hadrian's Villa,' painted by Richard Wilson; these works gave so much satisfaction, that Mr. E. M. Ward specially requested that he should be employed to engrave his picture of 'The South Sea Bubble,' and subsequently employed him on his own behalf to engrave his picture of 'Benjamin West's First Essay in Art.' This plate he completed but a short time before his death, which occurred at the end of August 1855, probably hastened by his devotion to his work. Like many workers in the same profession, Carter found it very unremunerative, and made no provision for a numerous family. Besides the engravings already mentioned, he engraved among others a plate from his own design of 'Cromwell dictating to Milton the Despatch on behalf of the Waldenses' and a portrait of Sir Marc Isambard Brunel, after Samuel Drummond.

Don't let your leftovers go to waste with new app
Here's how Leftover Swap works: take a photo of food you don't want and post it on the app. Then people nearby can offer to trade or just take it off your hands.
Food Swap co-founder Dan Newman tells NPR that the app is designed to reduced food waste:
Being freegan seems a lot easier.
"We're not gonna make millions," Newman says. "[The environmental concern] is a big part of it. There's a bunch of studies about how much more food we need to produce for the world population by 2050, and how fertilizers are less effective and our current rate of producing food isn't going to suffice. Meanwhile, in the US we produce so much more food than we consume and so much is going to waste."

General Ledger Accounting
Are you interested in general ledger accounting? This job requires the recording of all financial transactions that are relevant to your company's assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses.
A general ledger accountant is described as a financial professional who makes sure that a company's or a client's books are balanced. Included in a general ledger accountant's job is also recording all expenses and credits properly. Duties of specific general ledger accountants may vary very greatly from one organization to another. There are some settings in which the ledger accountant is considered as an entry-level associate that is tasked with organizing basic paperwork and conducting a fact-checking routine before they forward reports to their senior accountants. However, ledger accountants may also work towards a more senior role that oversees and enforces standard operating procedures.
General Ledger Account
"General ledger" is basically a term that is used in business that refers to the basic, day-to-day accounting in a company. Before computers became more accessible and easier to use, ledgers were basically kept on paper, often in specialized notebooks known as ledger notebooks. On one side of the notebook, credits are listed while debits were listed on the other side. All departments of a company were then required to record all of their transactions in their ledger books on a daily basis. The general ledger accountant will then review and consolidate the ledgers.
Because of the advent of computers, ledger books are now rarely used and regularly tracking expenses is not usually done anymore. Today, most companies use the internet or other specialized accounting software programs in order to automatically compile entries of different offices and departments. These kinds of software also have the ability to generate reconciliation reports and summaries with a click of a button. Although these kinds of software are mainly automatic, they still need human oversight. This is where general ledger accountants come in.
Job Duties
Most companies today have the general ledger accountant implement and monitor the financial tracking software that they use. General ledger accounting involves teaching employees the procedures of how to use the system and how to always enforce honesty in creating entries. Most ledger accountants conduct random auditing and notes discrepancies from day to day or year to year.
Ledgers are important in major corporate finance and practicing this must also blend with other larger corporate dealings such as mergers, profits, acquisitions, and high-level sales. Planning as well as tax accounting is also involved in ledgers.
In general ledger accounting, extensive interaction with other accountants is included in the job description. He or she must be able to represent the daily financial transactions in the company, together with all the petty cash expenses. These must all be worked into the budget and in the overall financial landscape of the company. In most small companies, the general ledger accountant alone is in charge of all these expenses. In larger settings, the general ledger accountants oversee multiple divisions.
Ledger accountants, although the scope of their responsibilities or seniority may vary within organizations, are held to the same standard as other accountants. They generally require a basic accounting degree and mostly include relevant local licenses and certifications.

ICEF Berlin, the study travel industry's biggest B2B event, was the perfect place to bring IALC's ground-breaking 2015 industry research to a wider audience.
In 2015, IALC commissioned unique research into trends in study travel. The report covers programme preferences, demand for different languages, agent-provider relationships and key industry trends. It was unveiled at the IALC Workshop in Rouen, France, where IALC also held an expert panel debate on the language travel industry lifecycle. This followed a first IALC industry panel in 2014 on the commoditization of language study abroad.
Speaking at the IALC seminar in Berlin were Jan Capper, IALC executive director, along with Samuel Vetrak, CEO of Student Marketing, which carried out the research, and Jean-Marc Alberola, president of Bridge Education Group, until recently IALC vice-president of marketing.
Starting from the agreed perspective that the study travel industry is at the maturity stage of its industry lifecycle, State of the Language Travel Industry - Is Your Future Safe? explored the symptoms of a mature industry as well as strategies for survival.
The options for companies in a mature industry include diversification, consolidation, vertical integration and differentiation. Taking IALC as a case study, the seminar wrapped up with a short outline of IALC's decision to embrace brand differentiation.
"The research we commissioned in 2015, together with feedback from agency owners like JC do Santos at STB in Brazil, identified a real opportunity for IALC and its member schools to differentiate our brand by emphasizing the special and very attractive characteristics of independent language schools," Capper explained. "We hope the seminar gave others food for thought and inspiration as they face a maturing study abroad industry."

Great trip, I could not have asked for better. The week up at The Forks and the 2 days on the river has motivated me to try and become a raft guide next summer. The Kennebec was amazing at 5,500cfs but the real treat was the 13,000cfs on The Dead, Epic, every hit was huge. Oh yeah the fresh brewed beer at the lodge is a hidden gem of New England.

Asda warned against irrational price war
Bosses from retailer Sainsbury's have suggested that starting a price war would be not be a logical step forwards for rival retailer Asda.
In a call with research company Bernstein, highlighted in British Baker sister title The Grocer, Sainsbury's chief executive Mike Coupe and and chief financial officer John Rogers said Asda would be better off focusing on its operational shortcomings.
Despite an announcement by Walmart International president and CEO David Cheesewright last month that Asda would focus on protecting shares, rather than profits, Coupe and Rogers aired doubts that Asda would go in hard on prices.
Rogers said: "It would be much more logical for Asda to only lower the prices of the products available in discounters, and recover investment on other lines."
He added: "Over the last 10 or 20 years they've always had that unique proposition of being the lowest-priced in the market. It's difficult to see Asda recovering that position."
Last month, Bernstein forecast that Asda would tackle poor store standards and its own-brand range, rather than focus on price, to effect a turnaround.
In January 2015, Sainsbury's topped the table in the sales price war between the big four UK retailers.
