Programming video art for urban screens in public space
Using the case study of The Bigger Picture, a public art project in Manchester, UK, as its basis, this paper will discuss the practical experience of curating and commissioning moving image artworks for a large urban video screen in an outdoor environment. It will address the challenges of negotiating the relationship between a non-immersive exhibition point and a transient audience in a public space. Detailing experiments with content and scheduling, it will illustrate the potential pitfalls and possibilities for models of programming.

Latest updates > Jul'2017
This is everything, or almost everything, that we have experienced in the last month.
A few weeks ago, illustrator Ricardo Cavolo customized our Atom Eternal shoes inspired by hotel W Barcelona in order to create a limited edition full of its colourful icons. They were sold out straight away, so, if you got a pair, get it out of the showcase and make sure they walk on the street ;-)
Endless thanks. Three weeks ago we opened our first Official Store (Fuencarral street, 67 – Madrid), and since then, nearly 1,000 pairs have been sold. If you haven't yet visit us, we're waiting for you.
We like simple things. Clearing away superfluous things and leaving only essentials isn't as easy as it seems. That's why we've made a plea in favor of minimalism that you can't miss. Read more about it here.
We're developing a sandals collection and some weeks ago we sent some of you a questionnaire to know your opinion about the prototype. We received hundreds of congratulations and we know that many of you wished to wear them this summer, but we will have to wait until next year to implement your feedback and overcome ourselves even more. Until then, stay tuned because we have big surprises waiting for you that you don't even figure out. Bets are allowed.
Here's this month's playlist. Exposure can produce unusual physical and mental responses that will slowly disappear with the last chord. Press play and check it out!

How to Treat a Sprained Ankle on a Dog
Explore this Article Recognizing the Signs of a Sprained Ankle Treating a Sprained Ankle Article Summary Questions & Answers Related Articles References
There are 14 references cited in this article, which can be found at the bottom of the page.
A sprained ankle is an injury to the tendons, ligaments, and/or the muscles related to that joint. This can occur as a result of strenuous play or minor accidents. Quickly recognizing the signs of an injury to this area is key to treating it before it develops into a more significant problem.
Part 1
Recognizing the Signs of a Sprained Ankle
1Understand your dog's anatomy. Dogs actually stand and walk on the toes of their front and rear legs. When a dog is standing, you will see its ankle on its hind leg between the knee and the toes. This is similar to where a your ankle is when you stand on your toes.[1]
- Dogs do not have ankles on their front legs, just as you don't have them on your arms. Other types of sprains can occur in the front legs, and they are treated similarly.
2Know the causes of a sprained ankle. Many dogs are athletic. The activities they take part in can put an extreme amount of force and stress on their joints and sometimes this results in an injury.[2]
- Running, jumping, and making sharp and quick turns can put undue stress on a joint.
- While not all dogs are equally energetic, their joints can also be put under more stress than they can handle. A sprain can also be the result of slipping, falling, stepping in a hole, or something as seemingly minor as jumping on or off the couch. Any of these can cause your dog to end up with a sprain.
3Look for limping. The first, and usually the most recognizable sign of an ankle sprain is limping on the affected rear leg.[3]
- A dog with a sprain will often try not to put weight on the affected leg.
- Depending on the severity, the dog may carry the leg in a raised position, not using it at all.
- Be aware of other common reasons for rear leg lameness. Injuries to the hip, knee, or foot area can also cause a dog to limp.[4]
4Look for a visible injury. You may see swelling or redness around the ankle if your dog has a sprain.[5]
- You may also notice your dog regularly licking the area.
5Look for behavioral signs. An injured dog may also display changes in its normal behavior. Changes to look for that can suggest an injury include:[6]
- A change in appetite, usually apparent in decreased food consumption
- A change in activity level, such as sleeping more or a reluctance to exercise
- Vocalization related to the injury, such as barking, grunting, or whining when the ankle is touched or moved
Part 2
Treating a Sprained Ankle
1Make your dog rest. Rest is the first step to treating a sprain.[7] To ensure your dog gets enough rest, you will need to restrict your dog's activity. You should keep the dog inside or in a small area where it is unable to run or play. The less active the dog is, the better.
- As needed, you can take your dog outside on a short leash. Keep the walk short and slow.[8] Return the dog to a confined area as soon as possible.
- Restrict the dog's activity for a full 48 hours to give the injury enough time to heal.
2Apply an ice pack. To reduce swelling, help with pain, and aid in the healing process, apply an ice pack for 10 to 15 minutes.[9]
- Wrap the ice pack in a towel to protect the dog's skin from any excessive cold.
- Repeated as needed, waiting at least two hours between applications. This will help prevent irritating the skin and reducing circulation, which can delay healing.
- You can use a bag of frozen vegetables, such as peas, for an ice pack that you can mold around the ankle. This will allow you to evenly and effectively apply the ice to all of the damaged tissue.[10]
3Apply heat. If your dog has an older, chronic, or recurrent injury it is not recommended to apply an ice pack. At this stage of an injury it is best to apply moist heat.[11]
- Heat will improve circulation and help to loosen tightness in the muscles while having a soothing effect.
- To apply heat, use a damp towel warmed in the dryer or microwave. Be sure the towel isn't hot enough to burn the skin.
- Apply heat for 10 to 15 minutes. Then, remove it for at least an hour before applying again.[12]
- Don't use a heat treatment immediately after exercise.
4Watch for signs of improvement or worsening. During the 48 hour rest period you should watch closely for signs that the injury is improving or worsening. With rest and treatment, most ankle sprains will be back to normal fairly quickly.
- If the leg is not better after 48 hours or if it is getting worse, consult with your veterinarian.[13]
- If you don't see improvement, it's possible that your dog may just need more rest, along with some veterinarian-prescribed medication.
- Sometimes, there can also be an injury in another area that is delaying recovery. If there is a more serious injury, such as a dislocation or small fracture, your vet can do a full examination and X-rays if needed.
Community Q&A
QuestionMy dog hurt his leg jumping on the couch. Sometimes he walks on the leg, other times it buckles. What should I do?Pippa Elliott, MRCVSDr. Elliott, BVMS, MRCVS is a veterinarian with over 30 years of experience in veterinary surgery and companion animal practice. She graduated from the University of Glasgow in 1987 with a degree in veterinary medicine and surgery. She has worked at the same animal clinic in her hometown for over 20 years.
VeterinarianVeterinarianExpert AnswerThere are lots of different reasons a leg may give way from time to time, and truly a vet checkup is essential. In a small dog one common problem is wobbly kneecaps (luxating patellas) but also sprains, stretched cruciate ligaments, and hip pain can cause similar symptoms. If you dog is in discomfort then rest him (no walks and no jumping) and get a vet checkup.
QuestionIs treatment the same for a dog with a broken foot?Pippa Elliott, MRCVSDr. Elliott, BVMS, MRCVS is a veterinarian with over 30 years of experience in veterinary surgery and companion animal practice. She graduated from the University of Glasgow in 1987 with a degree in veterinary medicine and surgery. She has worked at the same animal clinic in her hometown for over 20 years.
VeterinarianVeterinarianExpert AnswerThe most important thing if the dog has broken bones in the foot is to rest the dog. A padded dressing will also help to support the broken bones so they don't move and cause pain when the dog places weight on the foot. However, take care applying a bandage as it's easy to put pressure on the wrong place and cause discomfort. Don't walk the dog and see a vet as soon as possible.
QuestionHow can I tell if my dog has a sprain?ImapoetninoitCommunity AnswerYour dog will not run or walk the same. It will limp, and when you try to touch the paw that is hurt, it might growl at you or whimper.
QuestionHow can I diagnose a sprain in my dog?Community AnswerYou may notice your dog is limping or not putting much pressure on the ankle. Check the dog's foot pads carefully to rule out other injury.
QuestionI came home from school and my dog was yelping in pain. She won't let me touch her neck or her leg. My mom won't let me take her to the vet. She says it's too much money. What should I do?Community AnswerWhen your mom is old and needs medical help tell her it costs too much money. Call your vet. Tell them your story. They would much rather work with you to come up with an affordable payment plan than have your dog continue to suffer.
QuestionMy puppy fell and hurt his foot really badly. I tried an ice pack, but he won't even let me touch his paw. What should I do?Community AnswerTake your pup to the vet as he may have sprained an ankle or something worse. Even if your vet finds nothing seriously wrong, at least you will learn how to care for him so he isn't hurting anymore. Your vet may even be able to provide pain medication for your dog.
QuestionMy pup fell down a few stairs and landed on her left foot yesterday. Today, when she was chasing her toy, she suddenly yelped in pain. Do you think she's hurt her foot?Community AnswerIf she landed hard on her foot, she may have sprained her ankle.
QuestionMy dog didn't injure his leg, but all of a sudden he is limping on his back right paw. He has no swelling or anything. He won't let me put ice on him. What should I do?Community AnswerYour dog may have accumulated arthritis over the years. It may have now just gotten worse. Maybe put a bandage on it or take him to the vet.
QuestionThe limping is better after a week's treatment, but is not completely gone. What should I do?Community AnswerGo to the vet if you haven't yet. Continuing to ice it a couple times a day is probably a good idea as well, but your vet can better direct you.
QuestionMy dog won't put any weight on his front left leg. What should I do?Community AnswerTake your dog to the vet.
- You want to start treating a sprain as soon as possible. This will give your dog the best chance of a quick recovery. It will also help to prevent making the injury worse by causing more damage.
- Don't attempt bandage an injured area without the advice of a veterinarian. Applying a bandage incorrectly can cause other problems, such as skin irritation. If wrapped too tightly you could also restrict circulation. This can delay healing and cause damage to other tissue in the area.
- Do not give any medication without the advice of your veterinarian. It can be extremely dangerous to give your dog over-the-counter or prescription human medications. Some of the same anti-inflammatory drugs are used for treating dogs. But, the dosages can be very different from people's.
- If you don't see any improvement within 48 hours, see your veterinarian immediately. If the condition seems to be worsening, you should also call your vet right away. Although it may be nothing more than a severe sprain, more serious injuries are best treated as soon as possible.[14]

Movement in Every Language

Movement in Every Language
October 6, 2016
Now the whole Earth had one language and the same words....Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves." The Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which mortals had built. And the Lord said, "Look, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Come, let us go down, and confuse their language there, so that they will not understand one another's speech." So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the Earth.
—Genesis 11:1, 3–8 [New Revised Standard Version]
The Tower of Babel has loomed large as a cultural reference point since biblical times. Intended to explain the origin of Earth's many languages, this formative myth cited in Genesis has captured the artistic imagination over centuries, from a 1563 painting by Pieter Bruegel the Elder to an 1869 opera by Russian composer Anton Rubinstein; Fritz Lang's 1927 film Metropolis and a 1928 woodcut by M. C. Escher; and, in the last few decades, a song by Elton John, a novel by A. S. Byatt, a film by Alejandro González Iñárritu—not to mention allusions in myriad video games.
Choreographers Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and Damien Jalet join this esteemed list with their 2010 work Babel(words), but the artistic partners had more in mind than repeating the trope of a multilingual world devolving into chaos. Their interpretation begins as one might expect—with performers from 13 different countries, using not only the physical language of dance to communicate but also spoken words, through 20 different languages and regional dialects. The onstage community is fractured, but as the piece progresses, disjointed threads become woven together in a celebration of diversity and multiculturalism.
"In the Babel story, cultural diversity and differences in language are presented like a curse," Jalet says. "But maybe diversity can be more of a blessing."
Cherkaoui was born to a Flemish mother and Moroccan father, and Jalet is French and Belgian. Both were taught the story of the Tower of Babel in Belgian schools, where curriculum covers biblical stories as well as Greek and Roman mythology.
"In a way the story of Babel is part of our collective unconscious," Jalet says. "We are brought up with all these different stories, and they leave a mark. They make us question reality."
The two choreographers have been working together since 2002, when their piece d'avant was produced by Sasha Waltz & Guests. The duo crafted Babel(words) for Cherkaoui's company, Eastman, during a time when Belgium went for 589 days without an elected government due to an impasse between opposing French- and Flemish-speaking factions. "Damien comes from the French-speaking part of Belgium, and I am from the Flemish-speaking part. We really wanted to make this piece together to break the myth of the other," Cherkaoui says. "When you collaborate with someone, there's an energy that is created in dialogue with another artist. With Damien it was important to show that we can collaborate—that there is a sense of shared responsibility."
Cherkaoui previously explored deep divisions in cultures in his works Foi and Myth; for Babel(words), the third in this trilogy, he brought in his regular collaborator Jalet as well as sculptor Antony Gormley, who devised a set of five giant rectangular frames that become critical characters in the storytelling. (Gormley also designed the set for Cherkaoui's Sutra in 2008, choreographed for Shaolin monks and featured at the first White Light Festival in 2010.)
"Everybody's included in the same space, so everyone has to be aware that their actions will have repercussion for the group," Cherkaoui says. "[The boxes of the set] seem to create a convention between an inside and an outside, but since they are open structures, they show the absurdity of defining a border."
The open frames move along with the choreography, becoming an apartment building, a city, a tower, a prison, and a boxing ring in turn. On a platform near the back of the stage are the musicians—two from Rajasthan in northwest India, two from Japan, and one from Italy. The music drives the piece, incorporating Indian and Japanese rhythms as well as medieval polyphony.
"Musically we've been working very much with rhythm," Jalet says. "We all have a heart that beats."
To bring movement into being, the duo intentionally selected dancers not just from different cultural backgrounds, but also from different schools of dance training—hip-hop, contemporary, African, kung fu, ballet.
"The dancers that we chose were people who were very comfortable moving from one style to another, so they're very open-minded and extremely adventurous," Cherkaoui says. "It's the chemistry of all of them together that creates the flavor of the work."
"The story of Babel is part of our collective unconscious."
Cherkaoui and Jalet feel Babel has an even more urgent message now than during its genesis six years ago. Jalet was near the Brussels bombings this past March, when 32 people were killed in explosions at the airport and a metro station. In the past year there have been mass shootings and terrorist attacks in Paris, Orlando, Istanbul, and Nice. In response, political fearmongering and national isolationism seem to be on the rise, such as when Britain voted to leave the E.U. due in part to anti-immigration sentiments.
"We live in Europe, where migration has always been present, and it's left a mark on everyone, from Africa all the way to Asia," Jalet says. "What are the things we have in common? Most of the time there is love, and there is fear. Those are the two things that motivate everyone's actions. We are mostly trying to defend the idea of love, but also showing at times the aggression that comes out when people are moved by this other feeling, which is fear."
The collaborators agree that art can spark understanding and cross-cultural communication—which is their hope for Babel(words), presented at the White Light Festival two weeks before the U.S. presidential election.
"With music and movement, there is something in those two forms of expression that really allow greater connection between human beings," Cherkaoui says. "Maybe with language we can find a greater way to connect to each other. The whole world is in New York, so it will be beautiful to see that."

Suboxone Detox offers different treatment options
The battle against drug dependence keeps advancing. Over the years methadone has been used to treat opiate addiction, but for the last fifteen years two drugs have been used to help patients withdraw from opiate addiction.
Unlike methadone, which can only be dispensed by authorized treatment centers, patients can now get help from their own physician. Suboxone has brought on change in treatment options and with Suboxone detox more people can be helped.
How Suboxone Detox works
The active ingredient in both drugs is something called buprenorphine hydrochloride, used to lessen the symptoms of opiate withdrawal and dependence. The difference between the two drugs is the ingredient naloxone, which is added to Suboxone as a guard against misuse. Subutex is administered only in the first days of treatment and Suboxone is used thereafter for maintenance. That is why the naloxone is added as a detergent against abuse .
Because there are only a limited number of treatment centers that can dispense methadone, and so many more cases of opiate dependence than available treatment centers, these drugs became the first two approved medications. Patients who need treatment for opiate dependence can get prescriptions from their personal doctor for these drugs. It was a good idea back in 2000, because now more patients have access to treatment.
There are serious concerns about abusing these drugs. Death from overdose is possible, especially if the drug is injected with a tranquilizer. If a patient stops using it too fast, they can experience withdrawal symptoms, so the use of Suboxone Detox should be exactly as the physician prescribes. Because it's used for maintenance the patient should not stop using the drug without first talking to their doctor.
These drugs may have less potential for abuse than methadone, so patients can receive a supply of the drugs to have at home, as they progress in treatment. And because patients can receive take home prescriptions, the FDA developed a plan to detect abuse. If necessary the FDA can initiate tighter controls over the drugs.
Should never be abused or purchased on the street
One risk of using these drugs is using more than is prescribed. Suboxone is sold on the street and, because it is an opiate it can be abused and is addictive. Suboxone addiction and withdrawal is often described as worse than any other opiate withdrawal because the side effects don't seem to go away quickly. That's why it's critical to only take what is prescribed and NEVER buy it on the street.
Suboxone Detox is not a magic pill for Addiction Recovery
While Subutex and Suboxone Detox are effective new ways to battle against opiate dependence, and the convenience of going to one's own doctor for treatment can be positive, what is missing from the approach to recovery is the human element. We are body, mind and spirit, and a visit to the doctor can help the body, but the mind and spirit are left out.
In addition to the medical intervention, people need people. The opportunity to share one's personal experience, or to learn from the experience of others is huge. There is therapeutic value in that shared experience. For those seeking relief from opiate dependence, in addition to the medications available to help you through, consider connecting to a group, or receiving help from a behavioral health professional to take care of body, mind and spirit.

Will Suboxone work to detox from heroin?
by Joe Smith
(Albany, NY)
I currently am addicted to Heroin and would like to detox with Suboxone
but I am scared it won't help and I will still be sick from withdrawals.
I don't want to go on Methodone because the nearest treatment has a 100 people on the waiting list or over an hour drive which i would have to drive every day for 3 months.
Has anyone used Suboxone to detox from Heroin and did it work?
Individual Needs
by: Ned Wicker
Dear Joe,
The ideal treatment program, from detoxification to recovery, is designed individually for the person. This is a conversation you need to have with professional people, as they will work with you to determine what is best for you.
For many Suboxone has proven to be effective, and you are quite right, methadone clinics are sometimes inconveniently located. You should also consider a medical workup to determine your over all health.
You might also want to consider only using the Suboxone for the shorted requisite time. Some have made bad decisions.
Make sure it is under a doctor's care and don't buy this on the street.
There is hope and you probably can do well. Call a treatment center or call your doctor and make sure your program works.
Methadone's not a good choice
by: Anonymous
Plus, Methadone can just replace the heroin. It's basically a legalized way to get high. It's just legal drug use. My ex-boyfriend just got addicted to it instead of the heroin.
Husband thinks I'm still using?
by Shayne
(Rockford IL)
I've been an addict for as long as I can remember it got really bad
about 6 yrs ago. I was taking norco daily for 3yrs started Suboxone
thought it was a miracle, boy was I wrong.
After 2yrs of that I decided I wanted my life back and stopped about a month ago. It was the worst detox ever! My husband of 10yrs is trying but thinks I'm still using. There's times I can't move and others when the anxiety is so bad I can't sit still.
I realize I can't do this by myself and I made an appt for treatment Monday. I just don't know how to make him see that I'm not using and when he gives me the look it makes my anxiety 10 times worse, which makes him think I'm messed up?
Any advice would be great. Thanks for your time.
You Need Support
by: Ned Wicker
Dear Shayne,
I am so pleased you are taking treatment, because getting the drugs out of your system is the beginning of a new life. Your recovery will have its challenges, as it natural for people to think you're still using.
You have a history and they aren't necessarily looking ahead with you, but looking behind at what happened. That's why going to meetings is so important. The people at NA and AA know what you are going through. They understand and they will not judge you. Give them a chance.
Also, your husband needs treatment and Al-Anon is a good organization for him to turn to. Hopefully in the space of time he will learn to trust you again.
Good luck on your journey!

If your lawn is looking worse for wear, suffers from weeds or has been infested with bugs, like chafer grubs or Leatherjackets, then GreenThumb Swansea can help you.
Each customer's lawn receives four pre-scheduled treatments during the spring, summer and autumn that feed and weed the lawn and keep weeds at bay – at real value for money prices. GreenThumb Swansea provides a professional service, carried out by a trained Lawn Operative for LESS than it costs to buy the materials at a D.I.Y store and do the job yourself. In addition, the company carries out winter treatments including hollow-tine aeration and scarification, which will help your lawn stay free of moss during the winter.
The ground in the area is quite sandy and lawns dry out very easily. We recommend that, during a dry spell, watering your lawn for just 20 minutes, three times a week will be enough to keep your grass green during the summer. Also, we offer our Oasis Treatment Programme, a water conserver, which, when applied to your lawn in the spring, helps keep grass greener for longer throughout a hot summer.
For a free lawn inspection, why not call GreenThumb Swansea. Every week new customers are discovering the unbelievable value of GreenThumb.

I am writing to you today to express my thanks for the excellent service you have provided to me through the treatments you have carried out on my lawn. Last August my mother and I moved house and realised that the front lawn was in a worn out state. It was covered with weeds and moss and the drainage was poor. After trying unsuccessfully to tackle these problems myself I decided to contact GreenThumb Swansea.
I am extremely happy with the results. Following only two treatments the lawn has completely been transformed. Now it truly is a first rate lawn! There are virtually no weeds or moss in sight and the sword of grass has become thicker and greener. Even our neighbours have noticed the massive change. When asked what I have done I give credit to the help I have had from GreenThumb.
I have attached some photographs and wondered whether my lawn was good enough to go on your website or twitter page? I certainly hope it is. I look very much forward to the next treatment and to see results next summer.
Martin from Swansea GreenThumb has been excellent. He takes the time to explain how treatments work and has always given me additional advice when I contact him. The customer service I have received has been fantastic.
Thank you all at GreenThumb!

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A juror in the corruption trial of Rep. Chaka Fattah was dismissed by the judge on Friday morning.
The reason for the dismissal was not disclosed. An alternate is now on the jury.
With this dismissal, jury deliberations will have to start over.
This comes after attorneys for both sides spent time in the judge's chambers on Thursday afternoon.
A juror was dismissed earlier this week for an undisclosed reason.
Fattah and his four co-defendants are charged with racketeering and conspiracy, plus 28 other counts including money laundering and fraud.
If convicted, the 11-term Philadelphia congressman could be looking at a long prison term.
Prosecutors say he stole from taxpayers and charities to pay off personal and political debts.
Fattah denies the charges, saying the Justice Department has long been on a witch hunt against him and his family. He son is now serving a 5 year term on a bank and tax fraud conviction.
The government's case hinges on the testimony of two cooperating witnesses. They are former Fattah political operatives who have pleaded guilty and hope to get lenient sentences in exchange for their testimony against the 59-year-old Fattah.
Also awaiting a verdict: former deputy mayor Herb Vederman, a Fattah friend the government claims was an ATM for Fattah, paying him in exchange for Fattah lobbying the White House to get him an ambassadorship.
Juror in Fattah trial dismissed; deliberations to restart

Hello there! Happy new year and all that jazz! I am slightly late to the blogging new year's party and no that is not because I have been nursing the world's biggest hangover. In actual fact my NYE was spent reading with my boyfriend, watching big fat quiz and desperately trying to stay up! This picture therefore is from early Christmas morning when I was full of excited Christmas beans!
But don't be thinking that my lack of energy on new year's pertains to how I feel about 2016, no way Jose! I am extremely excited for what this new year will bring. Mostly because I see it as a time to make to do lists, goals, resolutions and all those good things. I am lucky because I am quite a goal oriented, driven person anyway so I love to make goals and usually I achieve them. Now I'm not showing off when I say that (I'm really not!) I literally feel that I mostly achieve goals because I follow the SMART template. Not heard of this? Well, carry on really my lovelies (it blew my mind!)
If you've made 2016 goals (resolutions, dreams whatever you like to call them) ask yourself, are they?
Specific (one gym class a week)
Measurable (run 5 miles - I don't know if that's achievable/too easy I am the Jon Snow of running!)
Achievable (get Kim Kardashian's butt with no work (cough or surgery) not so much)
Results focused (eat better, not so clear, have a portion of veg in each meal, easier to see results!)
Time bound (write four poems too vague, write four poems by the end of June gives you something to work towards)
A lot of people have heard these before but I thought I'd share them in case you're needing a bit of guidance making goals for yourself that you feel you can stick to!
So, as I'm sure you're all desperate to know here are some of my goals for this 2016!
* Visit one new country.
* Read 15 books by the end of the year.
*Volunteer for at least one organisation.
*Do an online course in either literature or psychology.
*Go to the cinema or theatre once a month.
*Cook one new recipe a month.
*Two exercise related activities a month.
*Call/facetime/text a friend every week.
Now I feel good about all of these because I don't think anything of them are unattainable, if anything I will do better in some which will make me feel great! I'm not saying set the bar low but I've set the bar at the minimum I would be happy with in each category and that's what I'll push myself towards. Anything extra is a mega bonus!
The most important thing with goals is always YOU ARE AMAZING AS YOU ARE. Any extra tweaks you want to make or extra things you want to do just add to the wonderful person you already are. That's how I see the new year, a time to reflect on all the awesome stuff I already do and think about how I could improve on my fantabulous self. Love yourself and don't berate yourself for not always hitting those goals. Life is a marathon not a sprint and we can grow all the time no matter what time of year it is :)
Do you use the SMART method when you make goals? Do you have any resolutions? Please share!
Happy Sunday,

Guardians of the Galaxy
Starring Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel and Dave Bautista. Directed by James Gunn. At GTA theatres. 122 minutes. PG
The Zero Theorem
Starring Christoph Waltz, Tilda Swinton, David Thewlis, Melanie Thierry and Matt Damon. Directed by Terry Gilliam. At the Royal. 107 minutes. 14A
What do you do when you have a bunch of leftover characters and ideas and you want to make a movie out of them, perhaps even a franchise?
If you're Marvel Comics or Monty Python's Terry Gilliam, you make Guardians of the Galaxy and The Zero Theorem, two sci-fi films arriving in Toronto theatres Friday. They strive to spin gold out of dross by pulling together shiny spare parts; only one really succeeds.
The first and better of these junkyard adventures, the wide-opening Guardians of the Galaxy, is the one with franchise ambitions.
Which it will likely attain — there are already plans for a sequel — because the characters are great and the movie is often very funny. But you have to hope that Marvel gets away from using leftover stories, too.
These Guardians are a motley crew of celestial badasses and smartasses: giant grunting tree Groot, voiced by Vin Diesel; sarcastic mutant varmint Rocket Raccoon, voiced by Bradley Cooper; pompous tattooed strongman Drax, played by WWE strongman Dave Bautista; and green-skinned ninja Gamora, played by Zoe Saldana.
The fifth member of the group is the only recognizably human one: Chris Pratt's treasure raider Peter Quill, a.k.a. Star-Lord, who was abducted as a child by space scavengers, who also inducted him into their mercenary business.
With the exception of Groot, a character dating back to the late 1950s, all of the Guardians are Marvel Comics creations from the 1970s. This could explain the film's obsession with '70s pop tunes like Blue Swede's "Hooked On A Feeling," on a cassette mix tape that Quill holds dear and which he plays on an ancient Sony Walkman.
The five Guardians all have their own attitudes and agendas, none of which draws them voluntarily together. But fate — in the form of an all-powerful orb that could destroy the universe — forces them to work together for the greater good or the lesser bad, whichever comes first and easiest.
Here's where director James Gunn (Super) and his co-screenwriter Nicole Perlman fumble the orb just a little bit, because it's just the same-old, same-old sci-fi staple of a cataclysmic MacGuffin being fought over by celestial freaks.
And there are way too many freaks jammed into the film, which runs long at just over two hours and explodes stuff to the point of numbness. The main villain is the Phantom Menace-hooded Ronan the Accuser (Lee Pace), who takes life a lot more seriously than the Guardians do.
He wants that orb, dammit, so he can blow up a bunch of planets and then rule what's left of the galaxy. He's like the Nazis seeking the Ark of the Covenant in Raiders of the Lost Ark, a movie Guardians gleefully pillages, along with Star Wars, Galaxy Quest, Serenity and any number of other sci-fi spectacles of the past century.
The film really does seem like a dumping ground of recycled ideas, which I suppose is part of the joke. When one of your cosmic hangouts is called "Knowhere," you're not aiming to outdo the space visions of Kubrick or Tarkovsky.
"I don't learn," Quill quips knowingly at one point. "One of my issues."
But you can forgive the lack of narrative novelty because the main characters seem so fresh, even if they are all castoffs. They make for quite the entertaining eyeful together on the screen.
Groot and Rocket Raccoon are the instant attractions, doing a celestial Mutt and Jeff or Laurel and Hardy routine that manages to be both cynical and sincere at the same time. Expect many Groot and Rocket admirers on the streets this Halloween.
Pratt is the big revelation, though. He's paid his dues playing the comic sidekick opposite bigger stars in many other movies and also TV's Parks and Recreation, but he's got the chops for action hero status of the Han Solo or Indiana Jones wise guy variety.
He demonstrated his lead character potential earlier this year in The LEGO Movie, which Guardians of the Galaxy also resembles, come to think of it. Except the patchwork characters and story of LEGO were by design, whereas Guardians seems more like a series of happy accidents — but happy all the same.
The same can't exactly be said of Terry Gilliam's The Zero Theorem, which the film director and Python animator calls the final part of his "Orwellian Trilogy," which began with Brazil and Twelve Monkeys.
Already out on DVD, it's opening only at the Royal and almost escaped getting any kind of Canadian theatrical release had not Gilliam personally intervened.
With Pat Rushin scripting and a hairless Christoph Waltz leading, it's more of the usual Gilliam compost heap of extravagant visuals and dystopic sentiments, set this time in a near-future London ruled by computers and a soulless corporation called Mancom.
Waltz is an Orwellian tech drone named Qohen, although his supervisor (David Thewlis) keeps calling him "Quinn," in a joke that doesn't work the first time and is repeated incessantly.
Qohen is searching for the Zero Theorem, a mathematical formula that may not exist, but if it does could provide the answer to life, the universe and everything (paging the ghost of Douglas Adams).
Perpetually sad, not enjoying himself at all, our anti-hero works inside an abandoned old church that really does look like a junkyard. Management (Matt Damon) tries to keep him going by sending along a daffy shrink (Tilda Swinton), a teasing sex worker (Melanie Thierry) and an obnoxious teen computer whiz (Moonrise Kingdom's Lucas Hedges).
As usual with Gilliam's films, the production is more delightful to behold than to parse. Sight gags abound, such as a party scene where participants remain plugged into their smartphones rather than communing in person. There's a real sense of melancholy in the film, a lament that we have all been too eager to trade the human realm for the virtual one.
But despite stellar work from his actors, and with Gilliam making the most of an obviously limited budget, it's hard not to think of the film itself when Thewlis cynically tells Waltz: "Everything adds up to nothing. That's the point."

To make a long story short, we stopped at a store on the way home from his weekly therapy visit yesterday. Without taking time to think about it, I allowed him to take a couple of his beloved Hot Wheel cars in with him. Yes, you've probably guessed it already, he lost one of them. We searched high and low throughout the store, retracing all of our steps in search of it, several times - it was just no where to be found!
Suddenly, he began breathing hard - the first red flag that a meltdown is in the works at its beginning stages. We managed to work through it enough so that we could walk out of the store...it wasn't a perfect exit, but I was very proud of the way he held it together long enough to describe his missing Hot Wheels car to the sales clerk at the front desk. She promised him that she would call him if they found it.
He held it together fairly well - until we were in the vehicle driving home where he began coming unglued! I looked in the rear view mirror and saw that he was in real distress. His face was red, his eyes were filling up with real tears (he RARELY ever cries), his voice was getting louder and louder with each angry statement he made - and with each statement he made, being on the highway in heavy traffic began making me more and more nervous.
I remembered a strategy his psychologist had taught him (and us) that he could use when he felt overwhelmed by anger or frustration. She had helped him put together a list of things he could do to "get the mad out" when he started feeling overwhelmed. One of them was taking a piece of paper, wadding it up and then throwing it, (preferably in a trash can). I looked down and saw some newspapers and began handing him pieces of it, instructing him to wad them up, and then telling him where he could throw them...i.e., the back of the car, the side windows, the back of my seat and his seat, etc.
It was amazing! After awhile, I could see the tension leaving his body more and more with each wadding and throwing of the paper. Pretty soon I saw him starting to smile. Not too long after that, he was really smiling and saying, "This is kind of fun!" Finally, the tension started leaving my body! Driving down a busy four lane highway with an angry kid on the spectrum who is about to burst is a little unnerving...thank God for the papers I had been allowing to pile up on the seat next to me! Thank God the strategy Malachi's therapist taught him gave him an effective outlet for feelings that he was having difficulty managing at that moment.
By the time we got home, he had pretty much forgotten about his missing car. Not too long after that, we received a phone call from the lady at the store telling us they had found it. Whew, what a day! I'm not glad it happened, but I do value the opportunity he had to exercise self-control enough to tell the lady at the store about his missing car. Even though he started falling apart in the car, he made it out of the store safely. (I think the store building will get over being called stupid). While in the car, he had an opportunity to practice a strategy he had been taught to help him manage his frustration - and he discovered how powerfully it worked! So, overall, in spite of everything, there are many positives to pull from what happened.
The pen may be powerful, but I'm a believer with an eyewitness account that there is probably equal - if not more power in paper!

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'love' tag.
I Wish I were the Moon is a experimental game designed by Daniel Benmergui. The game is inspired from The Distance of the Moon by Italo Calvino, and "it's about a weird love triangle." The game is short and sweet and worth the time if you are bored (or even if you are not). The pixelated graphics are charming and so are the multiple endings. Try to get them all, it shouldn't take too long. I won't give you any instructions, it is more fun to figure it out yourself.
When I saw the first of these videos a few years ago, cute as it was, I had no idea it would roll on into a full fledged masterpiece. 'There she is' is a set of shorts by SamBakza.net (a Korean group). These shorts are wordless other than a music track over each one, but present the very fun, and in some cases, moving tale of a Rabbit and a Cat just trying to find love in a prejudice society.
The first four videos are up here. SamBakza is still working on the fifth and last in this tale of tribulation, friendship and love.

AlBaraka Türk launches basic online Islamic account services in Germany utilizing solarisBank as service provider and license holder.
The Participation banks achieved a profit of approx. $223.29 million in the first half of 2017 with an increase of 36 % compared to the same period the year before. According to information put together by the non-consolidated financial statements of Albaraka Türk, Kuveyt Türk, Türkiye Finans Participation Bank, Vak?f Participation and Ziraat Participation, the total assets of participation banks increased by 7.7 % compared to the end of last year, exceeding $41.52 billion. In the first half, the net profit of the sector increased by 36 %.
Among the participation banks, Kuveyt Türk achieved the highest net profit in the first half, followed by Türkiye Finans Participation Bank, Albaraka Türk, Ziraat Participation and Vak?f Participation. By the end of June, Kuveyt Türk was the leader of the sector, followed by Türkiye Finans Participation Bank and Albaraka Turk.
Speaking to Anadolu Agency regarding the first half results and expectations of the participation banks, Melik?ah Utku, chairman of the Participation Banks' Association of Turkey (PBAT), stressed that the participation banking sector is in a significant development process and has serious potential in Turkey.
In an unexpected move, Dubai Islamic Bank (DIB) pulled out of Albaraka Türk's latest $450m murabaha loan because it did not think the loan was Shariah compliant, according to two bankers on the deal. Turkish participation bank Albaraka Türk has signed a $450m-equivalent one year loan, which it increased from the $400m launch size.
Turkish participation bank Albaraka Türk will sign its murabaha loan next week and increase the deal from the $400m launch size, according to bankers on the deal. The deal is comprised of a 367 day tranche with a margin of 110bp and a two year and three day tranche paying 125bp, according to one banker on the deal.
Turkish participation bank Albaraka Türk is set to close books for its $400m-equivalent murabaha loan next week. Albaraka Turk is expected to sign the loan in mid-September, according to a banker on the deal. The $400m-equivalent deal has one year and two year tranches in euros and dollars.
Albaraka Türk has authorized a number of leading banks to arrange a a $250 million dual-currency syndicated finance facility. This facility shall be used for the expansion of Albaraka Türk's financing activities in Turkey. The tenor of the facility is one year and its profit rate is of 200 bppa over the Libor/Euribor. Among the participating banks are ABC Islamic Bank, Al Hilal Bank, Bank Islam Brunei Darussalam Berhad, Emirates NBD Capital, Noor Islamic Bank and Standard Chartered Bank.

Over the years, the EBC has been involved in a number of activities that have resulted in noticeable improvements to the Japanese business environment. Some of these achievements are outlined below.
The EBC Airlines Committee successfully lobbied the Government of Japan to change its pricing restrictions on international airfares. A number of changes in practices announced and enacted in the 2006-2008 period resulted in European Airlines becoming free to file and market fares set at their own discretion, whereas previously, they were only allowed to file rates that were approved by their Japanese competitors based on IATA fares, or in the case of group travel, at lower rates set by the Ministry of Land Infrastructure and Transportation.
The EBC Banking Committee has been instrumental in promoting reforms of the firewall restrictions that artificially separate financial service functions, such as banking and securities. These firewalls have been particularly detrimental to European financial services firms, which in sharp contrast, operate in Europe within a universal banking environment. The revision of the Financial Instrument Exchange law which passed the diet in 2008 was a direct result of the EBC's lobbying activities. "Double-hatting" of certain back-office functions between affiliates of financial groups has been secured thanks to EBC efforts.
Company Law
The EBC successfully lobbied to have the House of Councillors add a resolution to the company law, clarifying that an article (Article 821) potentially severely limiting the legal status of so-called pseudo-companies should not apply to companies which have had long-standing business in Japan. This resolution, though not an ideal solution, saved a large number of members from loosing their legal status in Japan, many of whom had been operating for decades in the form of a duly registered foreign company branch, operating under licenses and approvals that complied with requirements stipulated by the relevant government agencies. Finally, the EBC was instrumental in having the Cabinet Office issue detailed explanatory notifications on interpretation of the article to the relevant government authorities.
Human Resources
The EBC lobbying efforts have been instrumental in the abolishment of the re-entry permit requirement for valid residential visa holders.
Legal Services
The EBC Legal Services Committee, in cooperation with other foreign business organisations and government representatives, successfully lobbied for changes to regulations restricting the freedom of association between Japanese and foreign lawyers in Japan. Full partnerships between Japanese and foreign lawyers are now allowed, making it easier for the legal services community in Japan to provide comprehensive trans-national legal services in the wake of globalisation.
The EBC Liquor Committee played a key role in securing a reduction in the tax rate differential between shochu and non-shochu liquor in 1998, following a World Trade Organisation ruling issued in 1996 confirming discrimination in the Japanese tax regime against imported spirits such as whisky and gin. The EBC also celebrated a major break through in 2006 when the minimum requirement for distances between stores with liquor retail licenses were eliminated.
Medical Devices
The Office of the Trade Ombudsman (OTO) started proceedings on the regulation of medical devices as a result of the publication of the EBC's annual White Paper: "Issues for the Millennium: the EBC Report on the Japanese Business Environment 2000". Following the publication of this report, the EBC Medical Diagnostics Committee was asked by the OTO to submit a formal complaint calling for improvements to the approval process for in-vitro diagnostic products in Japan. The OTO's ruling on this issue prompted the MHLW to review its approval processes, which has led to a marked shortening of the time needed to gain approval for low-risk products. Moreover, the EBC's recommendations for shortened approval times were taken up as top priority of the Japan Investment Council and, subsequently, also by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.
Merger and Acquisitions
The EBC proposal to allow foreign shares to be used as consideration in mergers and acquisitions of Japanese companies by foreign companies was implemented through a triangular merger scheme in the new company law in May 2007. Although the final version of the scheme that was approved did not meet EBC's expectations, it can still be very helpful for European firms wanting to enter in a bidding race for a Japanese company without being delayed by having to raise cash.
The EBC Phytosanitary Committee successfully lobbied the Japan Fair Trade Commission (JFTC) to investigate the business practices of fumigation service providers at Narita airport. In August 2001 the JFTC concluded that the incumbent service providers were colluding to set prices and share orders in violation of the Anti-Monopoly Act. One of the two companies involved was subsequently fined, and both were ordered to stop colluding to set prices and share orders for work. The EBC also managed to convince the Japanese government to add a number of insects to the non-quarantine list, making the import to Japan of cut flowers substantially easier.
New regulations on large-scale retailing were constrained through EBC's efforts so as not to affect the cities with more than 1 million inhabitants.
Triangular Mergers
EBC lobbying contributed to the introduction of a triangular merger scheme allowing foreign shares to be used as consideration in mergers and acquisitions of Japanese companies by foreign companies.
Other Successes
EBC lobbying was instrumental in achieving expansion of the period of validity for importation of tableware
New regulations on large-scale retailing were constrained through EBC's efforts to ensure that unduly strict retailing restrictions would not apply to cities with more than 1 million inhabitants.

sutler or pyrate
Capt Thighbiter replied to Silver's topic in The Thieves MarketWhat about winning an item in a raffle ( custom made weskit) and never receiving it. Been nigh on 2 years, and I gave up asking. Bloody pirates is too good for 'em. Rum-soaked, incontinent, lick-spittle, grass-combing lubbers is what I calls someone who cheats a fellow sailor.

Darned If You Do
by Monica Ferris
2015/ 308 pages
read by Susan Boyce 8h 25m
rating A / crime (traditional/cozy)
(Needlecraft series #18)
As readers here know I have a deep fondness for a couple of rather light-weight crime series. One is The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series (now 15 books) by Alexander McCall Smith which I've been following since the first book came out in 1998. The other is Monica Ferris whose books I just found a couple years ago and quickly caught up on and now follow as they come out.
If you're a fan of these traditional/cozy mysteries, Darned If You Do does not disappoint. Betsy Davenshire, the owner of a needlecraft store in Excelsior, a small town near Minneapolis, gets involved in a murder investigation. How did this come about?
One dark and stormy night (my words) old Tom Riordan is trapped in his deteriorating home and has to call for help. He's taken to the hospital and it's found he can't return to the house because it's really much too dilapidated for habitation – and it's full of junk. Tommy loves his junk and claims that it's valuable. His only living relative comes to help him clean it out but she has little money to assist in moving so Betsy and her friends chip in. Things are sorted and moved, Tom is recuperating, and then the worst happens – Tom is killed. Eeks. An interesting twist is that one of Tom's treasures is an old mail sack still full of US mail – 15 years old! Deliverable to folks in town. Love it!

For many of us, fall means the buzz of a busy family returning to work and school. There are new class schedules to keep track of, and a flurry of paper clutter constantly coming in and out of the home. Organization is key. A family command center is a centralized spot to keep track of all the moving parts of your family's schedule, keys, bills, receipts, coupons, etc. If you don't already have one, a command center could be the shrewdest improvement you make to your home all year. Here are a few beautiful and functional family command centers to inspire you.
1. Compact Command Center
This command center started with a strip of wall just 30″ wide and some chalkboard paint. And yet it provides space to keep track of the lives of every member of a busy family… as well as a small dose of inspiration.
2. Wire Basket Command Center
This elegant command center, located near the family's most used entrance (the garage), offers ample storage for all the paper clutter a busy family can accumulate.
3. Dreamy Creamy Command Center
This easy-to-assemble command center is mounted on an elegant Martha Stewart wall system that makes it easy to slide in your different components wherever you want them.
4. Galvanized Goodness
If DIY isn't for you, here's a handsome command center that you can buy off the shelf by choosing the right components from an assortment of stylish galvanized possibilites–including clipboards, whiteboard calendars, chalkboards, file bins, and hooks.
5. Polka-Dotted Charm Command Center
This charming command center began with a stationery-lover's passion for polka-dotted file folders. Other elements of whimsy? An old mirror transformed into a bulletin board and a few mismatched photo frames lend an eclectic charm to a functional space.
6. Closet Command Center
This command center started out as a small closet and was transformed into an incredible little nook for completing household admin tasks, charging devices, storing office supplies, keeping track of schedules and paperwork.
7. Secret Command Center
This sneaky solution is beyond clever. The end panel of a kitchen cabinet, it keeps keys and paperwork as accessible as they are out of sight.

Does your home need a little more than a few tweaks to your home decor?

8. Built-in Command Center
This family command center builds in space for Fido's food and water bowls and a slide-out desk, in addition to a bulletin board and extra storage.
9. Command Center in a Drawer
If you don't have wall space that you can dedicate to a command center, consider drawing organization space from a centrally located drawer. Equip it with a power bar, and it can double as a family charging station too!
10. Wood & Chalkboard Command Center
We're obsessed with the log-cabin warmth of this rugged command center.
11. Bright and Sunny Command Center
This very practical command center is as bright and cheerful as it is easy to put together.
12. Cute & Artsy Command Center
Pretty and practical, we love the artsy feel of this airy command center.
13. Pegboard Command Center
Pegboards aren't just for the garage! In this example, a cute and convenient command center was built onto a pegboard spruced up with a coat of paint.
14. Homey and Welcoming Command Center
This streamlined command center doesn't sacrifice form for the sake function.
15. Menu Planner
Ok, this isn't a command center so think of it as a bonus. We just loved the idea and think it would make a great addition to your command center. If you're one who likes to plan your week's meals ahead of time, here's a fun DIY project that will transform a picture frame into an erasable weekly menu planner.
That's All Folks!
We loved those command center ideas. How about you? Which ones inspired you? Will you be adding a command center to your home in preparation for the fall? We'd love to hear all about it in the comments!

In the previous blog, I began laying BACKGROUND to support THE ANSWER to this question: "Who PERFORMS the WRATH of God? Since the CONCEPT of JESUS as A RIGHTEOUS JUDGE is so FOREIGN to our COMMON understanding of the SAVIOR, I took the time to CAREFULLY develop it.
Today, we're ready to move forward. We'll BEGIN by looking at the scripture Jesus QUOTED when HE BEGAN His earthly ministry--at His FIRST COMING. Wondrous truth is REVEALED for us.
To SEE it, let's COMPARE two scriptures. First, we'll look at what Jesus said of His MINISTRY in Luke 4:18-19.
After Jesus had been tempted by the devil in the wilderness, He journeyed to a Jewish synagogue on the Sabbath day. There, He took a scroll of the Prophet Isaiah and unrolled it to a particular passage, a portion of scripture with which HE STARTED His earthly ministry.
He read, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has ANOINTED Me to PREACH the GOSPEL to the poor; He has SENT Me to HEAL the brokenhearted, to preach DELIVERANCE to the captives, and the RECOVERING of sight to the blind, to SET at LIBERTY them that are bruised, and TO PREACH the ACCEPTABLE year of the Lord." AND HE CLOSED THE BOOK.
That's wonderful! Jesus CAME as a GIFT from God to mankind. By His FIRST coming, Jesus USHERED in the GRACE of God. He brought RECONCILIATION by His death at the cross. He brought VICTORY by his RESURRECTION from the dead. The CHURCH of JESUS CHRIST is founded upon the OUTWORKING of God's GRACE through Jesus.
But that's NOT ALL. When Jesus QUOTED Isaiah's prophecy, He stopped RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of a sentence! An INTERRUPTED SENTENCE has REMAINED INTERRUPTED--for TWO THOUSAND YEARS! What ELSE SHOULD HAVE been SAID by Jesus (in order to QUOTE Isaiah totally)? Why didn't He FINISH reading that scripture?
Let's look at Isaiah 61:1-2.
"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me; because the Lord has anointed Me to PREACH good tidings unto the meek; He has SENT Me to BIND UP the brokenhearted, to proclaim LIBERTY to the captives, and the OPENING of the prison to them that are bound; TO PROCLAIM the ACCEPTABLE YEAR of the Lord, AND THE DAY OF VENGEANCE OF OUR GOD…"
Why DID Jesus NOT finish the sentence in the Luke version of this propehcy? WHY did He NOT say "THE DAY OF VENGEANCE OF OUR GOD."?
BECAUSE Jesus' FIRST COMING was NOT the TIME for God's VENGEANCE!
Jesus' FIRST COMING was to PERFORM God's GRACE.
We, in THE CHURCH, have BENEFITED from God's GRACE for TWO THOUSAND YEARS. We have the GOSPEL, the GOOD TIDINGS preached to us. We are the BROKENHEARTED who receive God's HEALING. We are the CAPTIVES who have received God's DELIVERANCE. We are BRUISED PRISONERS who have received God's LIBERTY. We're LIVING in THE AGE of the CHURCH, which is THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR of the Lord!
Jesus NEVER uttered the words "AND the DAY of VENGEANCE of our God" when He STARTED His MINISTRY at His FIRST COMING. This is BECAUSE the CHURCH is NOT UNDER God's VENGEANCE (or WRATH). In fact, the DAY OF VENGEANCE will NOT appear until THE TIME of the TRIBULATION!
What does God say about THE CHURCH in relation to His DAY OF VENGEANCE? Let's CAREFULLY read 2 Thessalonians 1:6-8.
"Seeing it is a RIGHTEOUS THING with God to RECOMPENSE (repay) TRIBULATION to them that TROUBLE you; and TO YOU who are TROUBLED "REST" with us, WHEN the LORD JESUS shall be REVEALED from heaven with His mighty angels, in FLAMING FIRE taking VENGEANCE on them that KNOW NOT God, and that OBEY NOT the GOSPEL of our Lord Jesus Christ…"
In this passage, the Apostle Paul tells us (THE CHURCH) that God will REPAY TRIBULATION (intense trouble) upon those who HASSLE the CHURCH. When that TIME of RECOMPENSE (repaying) occurs, we (the CHURCH) will BE AT REST with the Apostle Paul and OTHER TRUE Christians. Earlier, in 1 Thessalonians, we're assured of THE RAPTURE, and WITH it the ADDED COMFORT of knowing we're NOT APPOINTED to the WRATH (which DEFINES the Tribulation). Our RAPTURE will happen PRIOR to that intense TIME of JUDGMENTS.
WHILE we're AT REST (in our MANSIONS promised by Jesus--AFTER the RAPTURE of the TRUE CHURCH), Jesus is THE ONE Who will PERFORM the VENGEANCE of God. HE will REPAY the enemies WITH TRIBULATION. JESUS will be REVEALED from heaven WITH His MIGHTY ANGELS (just like it's pictured in MANY PLACES in Revelation 6 through 19). With FLAMING FIRE, Jesus and His ANGELS will TAKE VENGEANCE upon PEOPLE who DO NOT know God, and who DO NOT obey the gospel. It's within THAT TIME (the intense TRIBULATION)--that JESUS will PERFORM the LAST PHRASE from Isaiah's prophecy, FULFILLING "the DAY of VENGEANCE of our God." Jesus will do it! Jesus will perform it! Jesus BRINGS the WRATH of the LAMB as He opens a SEVEN-SEALED SCROLL in Revelation 6.
Yes, Jesus will be THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE during the "DAY OF THE LORD," the HOUR of the TRIBULATION, also known as the SEVENTIETH WEEK. (Daniel 9:24-27--a PROPHECY which is DETERMINED upon ISRAEL and upon their HOLY CITY--Jerusalem).
Now, let's look at some good news:
I've HEARD a WARNING--which goes like this: "If you DON'T WANT to SEE Jesus as the RIGHTEOUS JUDGE bringing GOD'S VENGEANCE, then ACCEPT Him by faith NOW, in the ACCEPTABLE YEAR of the Lord." This statement parallels the thought in 2 Corinthians 6:2.
"(For He (God) says, I have heard you in a TIME ACCEPTED, and in the DAY of SALVATION have I SUCCORED [helped, aided, relieved] you: behold, NOW is THE ACCEPTED TIME; behold NOW is the DAY of SALVATION.)"
The scripture ABOVE is another QUOTE from the Prophet Isaiah, SO let's ALSO look at Isaiah 49:8 (first part of the verse).
"Thus says the Lord, In an ACCEPTABLE TIME have I heard you, and in a DAY of SALVATION have I helped you: and I will PRESERVE you…"
If you DON'T want to SEE Jesus as RIGHTEOUS JUDGE, acting in the VENGEANCE of God, then TURN to Him now, and RECEIVE Him, in this ACCEPTABLE YEAR of the Lord, in this TIME of SALVATION, when God's GRACE is YET predominant.
Once the TRIBULATION'S JUDGMENTS begin, you "MIGHT" be SAVED, but it WILL be like COMING THROUGH a FIRE.
[In a PREVIOUS blog, I mentioned some TRIBULATIONS SAINTS who STOOD on a sea of glass MINGLED with FIRE as they SING the SONG of MOSES. (Revelation 15:2-3.)]
During the TRIBULATION--God will no longer OPERATE in a TIME OF GRACE, the ACCEPTABLE YEAR of the Lord through THE CHURCH. Instead, God RESUMES dealing with (and WORKING THROUGH) His NATION of ISRAEL during THE DAY of His WRATH. God's RECOMPENSE (repaying His enemies with punishments) will occur. In THAT TIME, the Holy Spirit will NO LONGER "indwell" believers, but He will FALL upon VARIOUS individuals like He did in the Old Testament--for specific TIMES and PURPOSES. The TRIBULATION is "the DAY of VENGEANCE of our God." God's MANNER of operation (His DISPENSATION) will be DIFFERENT then.
Yes, God will show MERCY on SOME people in the MIDST of His VENGEANCE, but it will NO LONGER be an ACCEPTABLE YEAR of the Lord (as it HAD BEEN DURING the CHURCH AGE.) The FOCUS will have CHANGED. God will DEAL harshly, with WRATH and VENGEANCE, punishing the WORLD of CHRIST-REJECTORS, SATAN, ISRAEL and ALL OF THOSE who were INDIFFERENT and NOT READY during the FINAL PART of the CHURCH AGE.
In the MIDST of this PUNISHMENT, Israel, plus those who were INDIFFERENT or IGNORANT about Jesus (therefore MISSING the RAPTURE), will RECEIVE MERCY mingled WITH JUDGMENT. One-third of Israel, plus a Great Multitude of Gentiles, will be saved--like coming though a FIRE. (Many will be MARTYRED, because this will be the WORST time of VIOLENCE and UPHEAVAL since the "days of Noah!")
Therefore (you who read this) while THE CHURCH remains on earth, ACCEPT Jesus NOW. Receive Him as SAVIOR and LORD in this ACCEPTABLE TIME, in this AGE of God's GRACE! Yes, NOW is the TIME of SALVATION!
We've only STARTED seeing PICTURES of Jesus, Who PERFORMS the WORKS of His Father's JUDGMENTS in "the DAY OF VENGEANCE." In the NEXT blog, I'll show you additional SCRIPTURES which PROVE this fact. They offer FURTHER reasons WHY----BEFORE the DAY of VENGEANCE arrives, the TRUE CHURCH will be RAPTURED.
May you BASK in the PERFECT PEACE that Jesus gives. AND don't forget to thank Him for being your SAVIOR and LORD.
Be abundantly blessed, SAVED and READY.
TRUE CHURCH--We will NEVER fall under the RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENTS performed by the SAVIOR OF OUR SOULS. We're SAVED by the EXTREMELY HIGH COST of His SHED BLOOD!

Lost and found
Sometimes you have to lose yourself to truly find yourself.
We're always going to go through things in life that challenge us, that put us face-to-face with the idea of ourselves that we have and the real version of ourselves that we're being. Make it all worth it by taking from it all the lessons, all the good stuff, and dropping the rest. Don't beat yourself up. If there was ever a time to be your own friend, it's when you feel lost. Be honest with yourself. Decide what changes you want to make and why, then hold yourself accountable.

John Muir once said, "The mountains are calling and must I go." While he practiced and preached well for an extensive backpack trip, what about fatigued days, and minimal leaves on a human's calendar? Mankind invented staycations for that, it piqued our interest ever since there has been no going back, we find you a new staycation haven once in a while and this time on our recommendation is Radisson Blu, Resort and Spa at Alibaug. Read on as we recount our experience…
Ferrying the Arabian sea from the iconic Gateway of India, we found ourselves at the Mandwa Jetty in no time. (45 minutes for 116 KMS to be precise, is still faster than traveling anywhere in Mumbai even within 5 KMS radius)
A scenic drive and 45 minutes later from the Mandwa Jetty, we arrived at a lusciously green gateway to Radisson Blu, Resort and Spa at Alibaug, a plush property or should we say our home for 2 days of a staycation featuring tales and treats?
We checked-in to this property surrounded by a costal setting and checked-out our woes, while the hospitable team at Radisson Blu, Alibaug vowed to make our staycation an experiential retreat to remember.
Housing our baggage and presence in their lake view villa, our humongous abode for the next two days configured a living room with a private lawn on the ground floor and a bedroom with balcony overlooking the Veshvi lake's backwaters.
Our villa (Much like the other 155 rooms, suites and villas at Radisson Blu, Alibaug) was crafted with perfection to suit the needs of a contemporary traveler. Private dinning area, a king-sized sofa and gigantic TV set along with a walk-in lawn in the living room allows ample of space for one, rather many to chill through the day. The spacious bedroom alongside a scenic view comes with a master bathroom. (The duplex structure villa offers a bathroom on each floor)
What's even better about these lake-view villas? They're a stone's throw away from the pool, restaurants, bar and the gaming room which is a major yay, especially if you're looking to Eat, Sleep, Unwind repeat.
Our curiosity led us to tour the property to realise that all the rooms, suites, villas have a private balcony and natural lighting (If you're a shutterbug like us, you would know how much that matters :P) We also discovered some pretty cool things at the property (We shall tell you more about it in another post)
What's a staycation without some food for the palette and soul? The latter can only be satiated when the former is happy, no? We found our share of carbs and happiness in their in-house restaurants offering multi-cuisine options.
Our breakfast at Aparanta, the multi-cuisine restaurant was a morning delight with live counters, Indian and continental picks. Trust the chefs to add their expert touch for live preparations and plating to give you food coma moments. Pro Tip: Don't miss the pancakes!
The reminiscence of the morning scrumptiousness brought us back to Aparanta for their lunch buffet which offers a good spread of Indian, Oriental, and Continental cuisine. We bet you'll be spoilt for choices. Need a repeat or customisation from a live-counter? The chef/service team got you covered.
Is it fair to be in Alibaug and not try the local delicacies? Absolutely no! We headed to Kokum and Spice (A traditional cuisine restaurant with beautiful interiors) for dinner to try our share of authentic treats.
But do coastal offerings have something in store for herbivores? As opposed to our misconception, there's more to Malwani, Mangalorean or Goan cuisine than sea food. From appetisers to desserts, we fell in love with these delights. If you're a vegetarian like us, there's all the more reason you should explore this restaurant! Every dish on the menu is the resultant of the Chef's curation of flavours and observations from varied diner's, shacks and homes to bring the exact Kokum and Spice on the table. Pro Tip: For dessert, call for the Modak with ghee, it's the best we've tried till date!
P.S: On that dessert high, we're concluding this walk-through our room and food experience at Radisson Blu, Resort and Spa at Alibaug. What more does the property have to offer? Watch this space as we tell you soon! Until next time, #StayCurious 🙂

Transport Minister Danny Kennedy has announced that £20 million will be allocated to road maintenance in Northern Ireland.
In addition, some £3m funding will be used to help deliver improvements to bus stations and workshops, for constructing crash barriers and for cycling.
Kennedy (pictured) said: "My department is responsible for maintaining 25,900 kilometres of public roads which can only be done through significant investment.
"This additional funding will target structural maintenance on the local road network to help address the significant backlog and reduce the actual resurfacing cycles. It will also provide new drainage, some reconstruction and the resurfacing of around 160 kilometres of road.
"This announcement is a welcome boost for the public and the construction industry. Carrying out road improvements sustains hundreds of jobs every year and ensures the travelling public enjoy safer and more enjoyable journeys."
