Breathtakingly beautiful and diverse, Russia is a land full of surprises and contradictions. From sublime natural beauty to the untamed wilderness and from lively urban cities to charming architecture and monuments from the Soviet era, Russia is truly a stunning destination.
Occupying most of Northern Asia and Eastern Europe, Russia is the largest country in the world. Partially landlocked, it shares borders with Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, China, Mongolia and North Korea. Moscow is the capital and largest city of Russia.
The history of Russia can be traced back to the Slavs, who emerged between the 3rd and 9th centuries. The state of Rus emerged during the 9th century, which was established by a Viking named Rurik. This was followed by an invasion by the Mongols during the 13th century. In the 16th century, Ivan IV, the first Czar of Russia, established a Russian state. Reforms and westernization in Russia happened under reign of Peter the Great (1689-1725). In 1922, Soviet Union, the world's first socialist state, was formed. However, post-Cold War, in 1991, Soviet Union was dissolved and the Russian Federation, as it is known today, was finally established.
Russian is the official language. Although a number of other minority languages, including English are spoken as well. Owing to Russia's vast size, the climate varies from humid continental to subarctic, to humid subtropical and semi-arid.
A country dotted with charming castles, palaces, bustling cities, picturesque monuments and cathedrals, stunning museums, quaint waterways and distinct landscapes; there is tons to be enjoyed and discovered in Russia.

Look Where You're Going
I've been thinking about training for a marathon. I thought about it this morning as I reached for a second Krispy Kreme donut. I like to think about crossing the finish line. I just don't like thinking about what it would take to cross the finish line.
I do know a friend who ran a marathon. I asked her what went through her mind the moment she finished. Did she feel euphoric? Did she feel like she could do anything? Did she feel like Wonder Woman without the outfit? She said her main thought at that very moment was that she needed to use the bathroom.
Then she told me the euphoria really set in the next morning. As did muscle fatigue. I'm calling it "fatigue," however she would call it total muscle shut down. She said she could barely walk … until she accidentally discovered that walking backwards was much easier than walking forwards. I pictured her hobbling backwards in the grocery store and wondered what people must have thought. She told me that walking backwards must have used different muscles, because it wasn't as painful as going forwards.
It reminded me of a recent sermon I heard at church. In it, my pastor, Kelly Williams, said there are some people in life who walk backwards into the future. They're more focused on the past—what they did wrong, who failed them and how they've been hurt—he said, than on where they're headed and where God wants to take them through it all.
I wondered if these people thought that turning around to face the future would be too painful. That because they've been disappointed in the past, they fear having hope for the future.
I love what Pope John XXIII says about this,
"Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do."
In my own life, I think about the hurts I've experienced in the past and have come to believe it's more painful to walk backwards into the future than to face it. My father was—and still is—an alcoholic. It has caused a lot of pain for my family and has wounded me in many ways. But it's amazing how God can heal. A psychologist would label me as an adult child of an alcoholic, but I simply call myself a child of God. I learned that an important part of my healing included facing those hurts, but it was equally important to turn away from them at the right time with God's help. It's not that I am ignoring my wounds. Just the opposite: I am acknowledging my brokenness. Through it, I have realized how God wants to use those wounds for redemptive purposes in my life.
All of us have experienced disappointments, hurts and pain. Some of it was out of our control. But what about the pain we've experienced that was in our control? What do we do with past sins that we can't seem to let go of? When we've asked for forgiveness but can't seem to accept it and move forward?
Again, my pastor answers this question powerfully. He says:
"Most of us live in regret. But regret is not brokenness—it's just another form of pride. It's saying 'I wish I hadn't done it.' God doesn't care what you've done if you're only going to live the rest of your life in regret. He cares that you let what you've done in your life break you. Because until you realize you are broken, you can't experience redemption."
I know there are times when I've asked for forgiveness for a sin … but I've held on to a little self-loathing about the matter, just for good measure. You know, just in case Christ's death wasn't good enough. Just in case His blood didn't cover all of my sin. But true repentance is not just regretting what we've done. Or hating yourself for it. And it doesn't end at having your heart broken with remorse over sin. It requires turning from the sin and handing over our broken hearts to Christ. It means turning around, walking forward and looking ahead to where God wants to take you.
But it's easy to look away. I think about the time when the disciples were in the boat with Jesus and how the storm came after He fell asleep. As the storm raged, the disciples took their eyes off Christ and fear instantly filled their hearts. Can you blame them? I picture angry waves smashing into the sides of the boat. Lightning bolting into the water. Dark clouds thundering and making their hearts pound even faster.
And I wonder, how could Jesus sleep through something like that? I imagine many of us have wondered this at some point. When storms come into our lives, when we're standing in the boat, and the waves are crashing all around, it's easy for us say to Jesus, "Do you see what I'm going through? Don't you care? Help me Lord! I am scared."
And Jesus always says, "Turn and face me." He's not panicked about the storm. He's not panicked that you don't have a clue what you're going to do after you graduate. He's not worried that you're struggling financially. He is not alarmed that you are feeling alone and wonder if you'll ever get married. He is saying, "Turn, and face me. Trust in me and have faith that I will calm the storm and make a way."
For some of us, looking backwards is all we know. It's like man in the Bible who was lying next to the Bethesda pool waiting for healing. He had been invalid for 38 years. When Jesus saw him, He asked him, "Do you want to get well?" Part of me wonders if the man really wanted to reply, "Uh … duh. Hello? I've been ill for 38 years. Do you think I'm lying next this a pool for the fun of it?" Yet, Jesus knew exactly how long the man had been sick. He knew how long he had been waiting to be healed. And still, Jesus asked the man, "Do you want to get well?" For those of you who are focused on your past and are hurting, Christ is also asking you, "Do you want to get well?" Turn and face Him. He will begin a healing in you if you pick up your mat and walk toward Him.
When we're walking backwards into the future—when we're focused on the stormy circumstances of our lives—we miss all that God has for us in the present. The Christian life isn't about getting beamed to heaven. It's about living, struggling, and learning to love God more every day. He wants to show us His redemption and His goodness in the midst of the journey—in the midst of a storm. He wants to give us joy for the present and hope for the future.
The good news is God can help us turn around. We just need to look where we're going. But that doesn't mean focusing on our circumstances or putting our hope in our future success. We've got to remember that where we're "going" is toward Christ. That means putting our hope in the Lord Himself. And that kind of hope does not disappoint.
When Doing Justly, Loving Mercy, and Walking Humbly Stand at Odds
If your compassion far exceeds your capacity, here's one way you can be sure to do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly.
One of my life verses is Micah 6:8, "He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?"
It is one of my favorite verses because my heart has been so moved by the love Jesus has for me and the sacrifice He made for me that I am grateful to have a way to express my gratitude through acts of justice and mercy while walking humbly with God.
I have found at times, however, the call to do justice and love mercy come in conflict with the call to walk humbly with God. For me, one of the ways to walk humbly with God is to recognize my limitations. I have to put skin to the fact that I am not God which means saying, "no" to ministry requests. It means going to sleep when I could be spending time advocating for the harrowed and helpless in the world. It means limited seats at my table, limited funds in my bank account, and limited energy in my body cannot be ignored but respected and adhered to.
This is hard for me at times, especially when I scroll my Facebook feed and see friends who are caring for their really sick children, spouse, or other family member all while millions of refugees flee war torn countries and babies are slaughtered by the hundreds each day in our country through the abortion industry.
As I scroll, I receive texts about one family member's surgery gone wrong and another family member announcing a new baby is on the way. I have in mind my neighbor who has inpatient surgery scheduled this week and another neighbor who is trying to hold down a full-time job, care for twins all while battling profound "morning" sickness.
Folks at church are fighting for their lives in physical and spiritual ways, and strangers who pass me on the road are clearly battling something as demonstrated by their impatient honking because I won't take a right turn on red. I want to meet the needs of all; I want to do justice and love mercy, but I'm daily confronted by the fact that I am so limited.
What am I to do when doing justly and/or loving mercy seem to come in conflict with walking humbly with my God?
God keeps bringing me to this answer: prayer.
God invites us to cast our cares before Him because He cares for us.
God tells us to be anxious for nothing BUT WITH PRAYER present our requests before Him.
God commands us to pray without ceasing.
And, when I walk humbly with God, I see the immense kindness in His command.
He gives us a way to do justly, love mercy WHILE walking humbly with Him.
It is by praying without ceasing.
I cannot take a meal or give money to every sick person or family I know. I cannot extend kindness to all my neighbors all at the same time they're in need nor conjure up sustainable solutions for the refugee crisis and contact all the necessary world powers to make it happen.
I cannot heal all, but I know the Healer.
I cannot provide for all the needs, but I know the Provider.
I cannot rescue everyone in need, but I know the Rescuer.
I cannot comfort all the broken, but I know the Comforter.
I cannot speak peace over every situation, but I know the Prince of Peace.
I cannot be all to all, but I can go to the Great I Am through prayer, lay all the people, problems and pleas for help before the Omniscient and Omnipresent God of all Creation.
I can do this through prayer.
Recently, via an Instagram contest of all things, I came upon A–Z prayer cards designed by blogger/author/speaker, Amelia Rhodes. It is a simple concept packed with a powerful prayer punch. It has served me personally in this tension of wanting to do far more than I practically can do. It provides prayer prompts starting with each letter of the alphabet along with a scripture that coincides with the prayer focus. It ranges from Adoption to a creative "Zero Prejudice" for the letter "Z."
The cards are well thought out, color printed on sturdy cardstock with blank lines for the user to write in the names of people and/or organizations that are personal to them.
If, like me, your compassion far exceeds your capacity, pick up a set of these prayer cards and unload your burdens onto a God whose competence matches His kindness, both boundless.
Facing Our Fears in Motherhood
Do you have fears tied to motherhood? If so, here's encouragement for you.
"Are you scared?"
I was taken aback by his question. Scared? Of what?
"Of anything," he answered.
I had just shared my due date with a new class of trainees.
"He has three boys," another new hire volunteered. So fear is to be expected, I reasoned. I'm just about to face the most frightening experience in my life.
Of course I was scared.
I was scared…
- I'll lose my temper.
- I'll whine about sleepless nights.
- I'll breastfeed too often or not often enough.
- I'll leave piles of unfolded onesies in the middle of the nursery floor because I'm too tired (or lazy?) to fold teeny-tiny baby clothes for the upteenth time.
- I'll go with disposable diapers when the better choice would be cloth.
- I'll work too many long hours at the office and miss precious moments with her.
- I'll sign her up for too many activities and push her to become Miss Achieve-It-All.
- I'll pass on to her my ugly pride, self-righteousness, and perfectionism like a dreadful contagious disease.
- I'll miss countless little joys in life while pursuing worthless dreams.
In short… I was afraid I was going to fail miserably as a parent.
And now, holding my second-born daughter in my arms, thinking back on that brief exchange just a few years ago, I realize those fears were well-founded. I've failed many times. I've lost my temper. I've raised my voice. I've worked too much and played too little. I've seen my own sinfulness reflected in my daughter.
Yes, I've failed, but over and above it all, God's grace has covered my parenting imperfections and made me run to the cross day after day. The writer of Proverbs puts it this way:
Whoever fears the LORD has a secure fortress, and for their children it will be a refuge.
Proverbs 14:26
When it comes to fears, we have two choices: Will we fear the unknown or will we fear the Lord? Will we allow the uncertain to grip us in its clutch or will we turn to God's Truth to set us free?
Scared? Oh yeah. There was so much to be scared of that day. And even now, if I'm completely honest, there are still fears nibbling at the edges of my consciousness. Fear that we won't outgrow the temper tantrums. Fear that the two girls won't get along. Fear that I'll mess them up and cause them interminable hours on a psychologist's couch.
I'm sure you have fears, too.
But rather than allow those fears to consume and paralyze us, we can take them to the Lord, acknowledging His sovereignty over our parenting, pleading His grace over our mistakes, and entrusting His provision over their futures. He is not only able to handle it all — He is far more capable to be trusted with it all.
If I say one thing to that frightened 9-month-pregnant me standing in that room years ago, I would say this: Don't let fear rob today's joy with tomorrow's unknowns. Each day has enough worries of its own (Matthew 6:34).
Instead, let us keep seeking God, running to Him as our secure fortress and resting in the knowledge that He will care for us and our children one day at a time.
What are you scared of today? Name your fears and bring them to the Lord, allowing Him to replace them with His peace that passes all understanding.
He Gives Shade To The Weary
If anxiety is a struggle for you right now, remember that He gives shade to the weary.
Do you ever have those moments of fear because you don't know what lies ahead? When do those thoughts tend to happen to you?
For me, most of those thoughts happen when I lay my head down to sleep at night. The vulnerability comes forth every time. That's what happened the other night to me. I shut my eyes and immediately anxiety welled up inside me.
What if we don't succeed in this new venture? What if we have to move? What if we can't pay our bills?
I laid there with the covers drawn tight over my head (I still think that I am safer if the covers are over my head), praying scripture over my anxious heart. Assuring myself that God sees me and that He cares.
In the morning, I turned to Isaiah 41, specifically verses 10-20.
"Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." (Isaiah 41:10, NASB)
Yesterday, the "what if's" piled up as I anxiously looked about me. My daughter needs tutoring, however at this point in life, tutoring feels like a luxury we can't afford. So I listed some items online to sell hoping to make just enough to cover the tutoring. I'm buying groceries on a Visa reward card. I'm holding my breath until the next paycheck comes. But what did God speak over me: Do not fear. Do not look anxiously about you.
"For I am the Lord your God, who upholds your right hand, Who says to you, 'Do not fear, I will help you.' Do not fear, you worm Jacob, you men of Israel; I will help you," declares the Lord, "and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel." (Isaiah 41:13-14 NASB)
Why shouldn't I be anxious? Because God will hold me up. God will help me. When I first read the word "worm" as a description, I took it as a slam against Israel. Like, gesh, God. What animal does He relate me to? But through further study, He calls them a worm because worms are helpless. They are viewed as insignificant, despised and weak. God will help me — seemingly insignificant, helpless me — because He is my Redeemer. He is my go'el — my next of kin. The Redeemer is the one who provides for all my needs. Rent. Car payment. Credit card bill. Gas. Food. Clothes. Debt. God will redeem.
"Behold, I have made you a new, sharp threshing sledge with double edges; You will thresh the mountains and pulverize them, And will make the hills like chaff. You will winnow them, and the wind will carry them away, And the storm will scatter them; But you will rejoice in the Lord, You will glory in the Holy One of Israel." (Isaiah 41:15-16 NASB).
God is transforming me from a helpless one to a powerful one. The description of that type of threshing sledge is like a modern day earth mover. Powerful. Strong. Immovable.
"The afflicted and needy are seeking water, but there is none, And their tongue is parched with thirst; I, the Lord, will answer them Myself, As the God of Israel I will not forsake them." (Isaiah 41:17, NASB)
He will come to our rescue. God, Himself, will answer you and me. Can you hear how personal that sounds? Have you ever pleaded with someone important whether your boss, public figure, or even a parent, and they responded to the need themselves? You expected for them to send their assistant, but instead they — the most important one — responded to you.
"I will open rivers on the bare heights And springs in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water And the dry land fountains of water. I will put the cedar in the wilderness, The acacia and the myrtle and the olive tree; I will place the juniper in the desert Together with the box tree and the cypress." (Isaiah 41:18-19, NASB)
This passage describes the wilderness-like times in life. You are barren. You are thirsty. You are hot. You are in need. God will provide what you need. God will quench your thirst. He will provide shade when you are weary. During those times, God can provide in creative, innovative ways. He can provide something out of nothing. Doesn't that give you great hope? Even when you can't answer how He will do it, He is creative enough to figure it out even when the odds are stacked against you.
"That they may see and recognize, And consider and gain insight as well, That the hand of the Lord has done this, And the Holy One of Israel has created it." (Isaiah 41:20 NASB).
God will do all of this so that His glory will be put on display. People — including yourself — will see that He is powerful.
So you can see how after a night of wrestling with fear and anxiety, reading this was like shade and water for my soul. God is a god who sees. And God is a god who acts on your behalf.
What do you need His help with today? What are you fearful about today? What keeps you awake at night? Where do you need some shade?

Thor Ramsey has managed to build a strong reputation as one of the most loved and most successful Christian clean comedians on the entertainment scene right now.
How did he manage to stand out among others and differentiate himself as one of the best in the biz? You will find the answer right here in this article, so keep on reading.
Extensive Experience as a Christian Comedian
Thor Ramsey started his career three decades ago! Since he was in high school, Ramsey had this idea in his mind that he might one day be a comedian.
He always loved to encourage people through the gift of laughter, and even back then, he was pretty good at it.
It was a high school friend who encouraged him to follow his dreams and pursue a career as an entertainer.
Since then, Ramsey has performed in numerous comedy clubs and churches across the country. He has also attended other types of events like:
- Festivals such as the Spirit West Coast in Monterey, California and the J-Fest, Chattanooga, TN, in 2010
- Conferences: National Pastor's Conference – San Diego, CA, Celebrate Your Marriage – Fort Wayne, IN; Mackinaw Island, MI
- Special Events and Tours like the Mason/Ramsey Comedy Expedition—with Taylor Mason
- Moreover, many others. Click here to see the full list of events.
It took a lot of hard work and perseverance, yet slowly, but consistently, Ramsey built up a name for himself as a one of the best.
Flexible, Easily Adaptable Act Which Everybody Will Love
Ramsey's humor and unique style of comedy have the potential to reach a significant demographic.
So, no matter if your guests are parents with young children, 20-something year-olds or people well into their senior years, they will all have a great time watching Thor perform.
That is because he knows how to interact with the crowd to keep them in stitches throughout his act -- which is one of the reasons he is managed to stay in the spotlight for no less than thirty years.
Naturally Funny
Getting a good laugh in is the thing which matters most when watching a comedian -- regardless of the style of comedy which best represents said entertainer.
Moreover, Thor Ramsey has this part covered. He is hysterically funny without resorting to foul language or possibly offending jokes.
So whether he is poking fun at married life, homeschooling or just everyday activities which everybody can relate to, he always leaves his audience laughing out loud with his:
- Witty humor
- Clever jokes
- Natural charisma.
However, don't feel like you have to take our word for it.

UKIP and Liberal Democrats select Sleaford and North Hykeham by-election candidates
UKIP and the Liberal Democrats have selected their candidates for the Sleaford and North Hykeham by-election next month.
As reported first on Lincolnshire Reporter, the by-election will take place on Thursday, December 8 and was triggered by the sudden resignation of Conservative Stephen Phillips.
Councillor Victoria Ayling was selected by UKIP members over the weekend as its candidate for the by-election.

Believe Me The Honey Bee Crisis is Bad!
"My Oh My" this is getting serious. What is happening to our honey bees? We have been starting to see the actual effects of the honey bee decline after placing our last order for bulk beeswax. As a manufacturer of natural beeswax lip balms and candles we have always been getting our beeswax here in our home state of Florida and last month was the first time we had to order from outside the sunshine state. Is this due to the rapid decline in honey bees or are we just worrying too much? Well facts are facts and we have some serious problems with the honey bee decline. Why are the bee colonies down as much as 60% we ask? Well it does seem that bees and humans may have something in common. Nutrition is as vital to us as it may be to the honey bees and it is possible that the bees are undernourished which may be the cause of the problem. Many states are seeing less dense bee hives and this may be contributed to the lack of nutrition the bees are getting.
Another possible cause of the honey bee crisis may be the pesticides that are being used. Many hives die as a result of "pesticide poisoning". There are literally billions of honey bees dying prematurely and the source must be found before this world suffers severely. The honey bee only has a six week life cycle in the summer, three weeks inside the hive and three weeks outside, but many are not even making it to the fourth week.
So yet another possible source of this dilemma is the huge rise in cell phone stations and also cell phone use. Some are claiming the huge growth of clogged air waves with cellular waves may be disturbing the bees and causing the early deaths. Stephen C. Sharp who has been studying this problem for many weeks while not a scientist gives no personal merit to this cause. He states "Cellular phones have been around for long enough to see a potential problem with the bees. This problem came like a train wreck. I think there would have been many initial signs if the cellular wavebands were the source of the bee problem.".
Other topics that have been thrown around as to the potential source of the bee crisis has been a virus or possibly mites that have worked their way into the bee colonies. Whatever the cause it must be isolated and controlled. Bottom line is if the bees all die maybe we will too! Bees are the only source to carry pollen of various fruits and nuts. Many plants do not reap the benefits of wind travel for pollination therefore if the bees vanish so does much of our food supply. We would begin to see a decline in new plants, brush, flowers, crops, and more. The honey bee gets food such as nectar and pollen from flowers and in turn pollinates the flower which allows the plant to reproduce. No bees, no reproduction!

Sarcastic Scout Law
6 scouts and one scout master.
Memorize lines; if not, ad-libbing works just as well. The scout numbers can easily be altered to your liking.
Scout Leader: (without enthusiasm) Okay, you guys have done a great job explaining the Scout Oath. Now we'll talk about the Scout Law. Who can tell me about the first point? Scout 1: A Scout is trustworthy, just like when you promised us ice cream on the last camp out and you never gave it to us. Scout Leader: (sheepishly) Now, actually, that's an example of not being trustworthy. What's the second point of the Scout Law? Scout 2: A Scout is loyal, just like when you didn't show up at Scouts last Tuesday, or the Tuesday before that. Scout Leader: Now, listen, I had good reasons for not being there. Who can tell me the third point? Scout 3: A Scout is helpful, just like when you kept walking on the trail when Bobby sprained his ankle. Scout Leader: Yeah... um... let's move on. What is the fourth point? Scout 4: A Scout is friendly, like when you threatened that Scoutmaster last weekend. Scout Leader: What? Let's get it back together, guys, what's the next point? Scout 5: A Scout is courteous, like when you pushed over that old lady hiking last month. Scout Leader: That was her own fault. What's the sixth point? Scout 6: A Scout is kind, just like when you yelled at Jimmy for tying the bowline wrong. Scout Leader: Yeah, but he stopped crying after an hour or so. What's the next one? Scout 1: A Scout is obedient, like when the police told you to stop throwing garbage in the lake and you kept on doing it. Scout Leader: No, of course not. I was thinking somewhere along the lines of listening to your Scout leaders. Okay, what's the eighth one? Scout 2: A Scout is cheerful, like when you were complaining about having to teach us about the Scout Law. Scout Leader: (annoyed) What's the next one? Scout 3: A Scout is thrifty, like when you spent half of this year's budget on the refreshments for the Court of Honor. Scout Leader: And those were the best-tasting brownies and cookies I've ever spent $400.00 on. What is the tenth point? Scout 4: A Scout is brave, just like when that rabbit walked across the trail and you totally freaked out. Scout Leader: Okay, that is not a good example. It came out of nowhere and could have attacked us. What's number eleven? Scout 5: A Scout is clean, like when you were trash-talking and told off that lifeguard? Scout Leader: (angry) Aw, come on! What's the last point? Scout 6: A Scout is reverent, like when you made us do this noisy, sarcastic skit [insert name of place].

Desktop notifications vs. Inbox Notifications
I get desktop notifications whenever a task I subscribe to is updated, but the notification only appears for a few seconds, and then disappears. Since this type of notification doesn't appear in my inbox, I can't view the notifications to see what I missed, if I don't click on it before it disappears. Is there a way to see these notifications somewhere? Or a way to change my notification settings so they display for a longer period of time?

Spot On! 👍 Innovative Approach 💡 Stellar Advice 💪
This seems like a MAJOR gap in the purpose and benefit of these notifications - who clicks on every notification on their web browser all day every day? And who is AT their computer every second of the day?
Once I realised that I was ignoring pop ups, thinking that I'd get the notifications inside of wrike (and I'm not) I'm super paranoid about all the communication that my team and I are missing out on. Please help!
Spot On! 👍 Innovative Approach 💡 Stellar Advice 💪
In order to have up to date conversations in the comment section of tasks, I really need to be able to see these notifications in the Inbox. I get them all via e-mail but tbh no-one uses e-mail these days, and of course if you click the link in the e-mail it boots up a browser tab and won't go to the Wrike desktop app so there is a big disconnect there.
What I need is to have the notifications simply appear as a list in Inbox or it is too difficult to follow up on lots of tasks and comments in a timely manner.
Spot On! 👍 Innovative Approach 💡 Stellar Advice 💪
Dara - if you look at the Stream section you can at least get a bunch of information there, however it doesn't tell you if there is anything new so you have to manually remember what you looked at and whether you did something about it.

@Jamie Hey, thanks for reaching out! The thread that you mention is more about more control over Inbox, and this one is about notifications duration, if I understand correctly.

I know this might be old news to some, but something in the televised media has been bothering me for a while, and it reached a boiling point when I heard a new show I discovered on Amazon Prime called "Good Girls Revolt" had been unceremoniously cancelled a month after its premiere – and more suspiciously following the 2016 presidential election – after only one season in spite of positive response by audiences and critics alike.
For those who are unaware of it, the series is based on the non-fiction book of the same name by Lynn Povich that chronicled the 1970 sex-discrimination lawsuit brought by female researchers against Newsweek magazine because the publication's editors policy of not allowing women get promoted to reporters or editors.
I discovered the series at random as I browsed content on my Amazon Video library (Renata and I recently installed a Fire Stick onto our TV) one day. I watched one episode and was hooked – the storyline is complex and so are the characters – the pilot episode introduces the characters in a busy newsroom at the New York headquarters of the fictional "News of The Week" (I guess they couldn't license "Newsweek") in late 1969. On that first episode a new researcher is hired – a young Norah Ephron (Grace Gummer) and quickly breaks the office rules by rewriting a reporter's copy. After being scolded by one of the editors (Jim Belushi), she abruptly quits and sparks a revolt among the other 'girls' in the office, who decide to do something about it.
As I watched the show I tried to learn more about it and was crushed to see that Amazon had let the show go and that no other network (streaming or otherwise) had picked it up. A piece on the Hollywood Reporter quoted co-star Genevieve Angelson's tweet about it, which pointed at the election results as one of the causes for the show being pulled: "@Amazon dunno what to tell women, scared of their own president, who ask why you canceled a hit feminist show 30 days in."
Her reaction got me thinking of another recent situation – in October 2016, NBC pulled an unaired Law & Order SVU episode based on the presidential election in which a Trump-inspired character is accused of sexually assaulting a woman. The episode was scheduled to run the day after the election but it following the upset on November 7th, the episode was pushed and still hasn't been aired.
NBC might have reasons to fear backlash from the White House – after all, Trump is still credited as executive producer on "Celebrity Apprentice," and during the campaign he made multiple appearances on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon (including a much-derided episode in which the host was a bit too friendly with the then-Republican nominee), but this is no reason not to run an episode of a show whose stories are, after all, "ripped from the headlines."
But what would Amazon have to fear? Did they fear their conservative subscribers (who praised a piece of shit, thinly-veiled conservative documentary called "Silenced" in which

To celebrate Queen's Day, a Dutch national holiday, beer brand Grolsch in Miami partnered with local bike group The Miami Bike Scene, the Grand Central Park non-profit organization, and the Dutch Consulate to turn the monthly Miami Critical Mass bike ride into the Go Dutch! bike ride on April 27. The ride wound through the city and ended at Miami's Grand Central Park with an orange festooned festival to celebrate the beer and the holiday. The brand handed out 800 branded orange shirts to the bikers at the start of the ride to punch up the visual impact of the 2,000-rider event.
The brand erected a 20-foot by 20-foot tent in the middle of the park for the Go Dutch! celebration. Inside the tent Grolsch set up carnival games with branded swag for prizes and a photo activation with a professional photographer taking pics of fans with a Grolsch "Get-In-Touch-With-Your-Inner-Dutch" backdrop and the Grolsch-branded bicycle. People dressed in costume pieces to spice up the pictures.
The festival included large tents for four restaurants, which sold Dutch inspired food, and two bar tents where Grolsch was the exclusive beer and attendees could try the exclusive drink, the "Double Dutch," a Grolsch with a shot of Dutch gin. Music pumped from a dj vehicle manned by Dutch djs and guests caught a screening of a movie created for the event with clips of Queen's Day in Holland, images of previous Critical Mass bike-rides and the latest Dutch Grolsch commercial. On a stage near the Grolsch tent, people competed in a best-dressed contest with a Grolsch bicycle as grand prize where contestants had to "sell themselves" to the crowd. The one with loudest cheers won the bike. The brand loved the event so much it is already planning to repeat it next year and is exploring the possibility of taking the program to other markets across the nation.
"We were looking to increase brand consideration and awareness about the beer's Dutch heritage," Ethan Ganot, associate brand manager for Grolsch at MillerCoors, told Buzz. "We really wanted to make it about what Queen's Day stands for with the Dutch people, and the biking scene is very important to the Dutch." (Agency: Team Enterprises, Ft. Lauderdale, FL).

Loved This Morning's Session!

One of the best things about my job is meeting cool people.

They DEFINITELY are! I thoroughly enjoyed meeting their little guy (not so much their puppy, who wasn't too sure of me HA HA)… but otherwise, a great photo shoot and I can't wait to look at the rest of the photos…but for now a little quick preview:

The focus of the website is on best practices to promote sustainable agriculture.
Some of the services offered by this website are highlighted as follows:
- A map viewer that articulates different layers of information about the country: climate, geography, and other information, with information from the farms where good agricultural practices for sustainable production are being implemented in different regions.
- Coffee value chain viewer with detailed information on every stage of the coffee process and where the user can download training materials to support quality technical assistance for sustainable agriculture.
- Discussion forums where trainers and promoters can interact and a virtual space for training courses in the future.
The pre-launch of the website was held on Tuesday, October 13th at the Casa Andina Select Hotel with the participation of representatives of SCAN Peru member institutions and distinguished managers and public and private institution officials. The website is scheduled for completion in December.

An elderly lady with failing eyesight runs her car into a cyclist on a country lane, causing him some slight injury and torn clothing. This will sound familiar to listeners of BBC Radio 4's The Archers. But what does the law say about motorists who find themselves in this situation? A brief discussion of the issues.
Driving with failing eyesight
The law specifies the minimum acuity level for motorists – the standard is higher for taxi drivers and commercial drivers. The minimum eyesight standard is set out in Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations 1999, which was amended in March 2013. You can see (or not) the standards here.[1] The DVLA will revoke the licences of motorists who do not meet the standard. Where a motorist has her licence revoked by the DVLA, she can appeal to the magistrates' court.[2]
But what of the motorist who is in denial about failing eyesight? Those who quite naturally don't want to lose their independence and have trouble accepting their failing health? Driving without meeting the standard is an offence resulting in 3 penalty points. The penalty points are particularly relevant to a motorist who drives without wearing their glasses, or who refuses to take an eye test.
The accident
In The Archers, Jill Archer collided with a cyclist (her grandson), knocking him off his bike. Is there any liability here?
Careless driving
Careless driving is an offence under Section 3 of the Road Traffic Act 1988, which can result in disqualification from driving. The question would be whether Jill's driving fell below the standard expected of a competent and careful driver. If Jill knew that her eyesight was failing, it would tend to support the prosecution case that she was not being a careful driver: she told David, 'I just didn't see him.' Ultimately, we don't know anything about the road layout, sight lines, driving conditions, weather, Jill's speed, or the behaviour of Josh the cyclist as he pulled out, so advising on liability for this offence is impossible at this stage. Suffice to say, the question would be whether a competent and careful driver would have had the same collision as Jill.
Failing to report
The law states that a motorist who has had an accident must stop immediately[3] and be prepared to supply their name and address. There's no technical definition of 'accident,' but knocking someone of their bike is pretty obviously encompassed.
In Jill Archer's situation there's no practical requirement for her to give her name and address to her grandson, but is she obliged to report the accident to the police station? That's always a thorny issue, because the motorist may well think to herself, 'If I tell the police I'll only make it worse – I may be prosecuted!' In fact, failing to report an accident is the most serious of the three offences considered, and is imprisonable.
Since there is no injury to Josh, there is no requirement for Jill to make a report to the police or produce her insurance documents. Although she might yet be prosecuted for driving with poor eyesight or careless driving, it's unlikely that her family members would tip off the DVLA or police, and very unlikely that Josh would support a prosecution of his grandmother. In the circumstances, Jill's had a very lucky escape. Of course, she should resist the urge to tweet about it.

Symptoms of Depression in Children
There are several depression symptoms in children to be aware of. These can include physical, mental, emotional, and behavioral symptoms. Examples of behavioral symptoms include substance abuse, persistent boredom, and poor performance in school. Parents and other caregivers should know the signs and symptoms of childhood depression. They should also know how to find a mental health professional for an early evaluation and diagnosis.
An Overview of Childhood Depression Symptoms and Signs
Depression in children is more than just having the "blues" now and then; it is a persistent condition in which children may suffer from low self-esteem and have a hard time coping with everyday activities and responsibilities or getting along with others.
Because normal behaviors vary from one childhood stage to another, it can be difficult to tell whether a child is just going through a temporary "phase" or is suffering from depression. Sometimes, the parents become worried about how the child's behavior has changed, or a teacher mentions that "your child doesn't seem to be himself." You may now be asking yourself, "How do I tell if my child is depressed?"
Children experience depression differently, and they may show different symptoms. For example, the depressed child may pretend to be sick, refuse to go to school, cling to a parent, or worry that the parent may die. Older children may sulk, get into trouble at school, be negative or grouchy, and feel misunderstood. However, if your child is showing four or more of the following depression symptoms for longer than two weeks, he or she may be suffering from childhood depression.

Everybody wants to be beautiful. Beautiful people get more attention, they are more respected and they have more success than the average looking person. If you were unfortunate enough and your nose doesn't look like you want it too, then it's time you have a nose job.
Today it's an extremely easy procedure. A plastic surgeon or a eNT specialist will be able to perform the surgery with minimal secondary effects.
It's not a surgery just for women, but it's also a surgery for men, because both of them need a beautiful aspect. It's not only about beauty, but it's about the confidence and the belief that people have in their own power. Sometimes, the aspect matters so much, and not always in the eyes of the beholder, but in the eyes of the people that are watching themselves in the mirror.

Brandish (ブランディッシュ, Burandisshu) is an action role-playing video game by Nihon Falcom. Originally released in 1991 for the NEC PC-9801 and FM Towns, it was later ported to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) and PC Engine CD-ROM² (TurboGrafx-CD) in 1994–1995, including an expanded re-release titled Brandish Renewal. The SNES version was published by Koei in Japan in 1994 and in North America in 1995.
Brandish was the first title in Nihon Falcom's series of the same name. It was followed by three sequels originally released between 1993 and 1996.
Brandish is a top-down view dungeon crawler game. The original version of the game uses mouse controls from a real-time overhead view, where the player can move the warrior character Ares (known as Varik in the original English version[1]) forward and backward, turn, strafe, and attack by clicking on boxes surrounding the player character. The player's objective is to escape from a labyrinth of over 40 floors filled with various monsters, traps and puzzles.
Brandish: The Dark Revenant turns the game's female antagonist Dela into an optional alternate player character. Dela, a magician, plays differently from the protagonist Ares the warrior.[2] The game's "Dela Mode" is shorter (lasting about 10 hours as compared to some 20 hours with Ares) but harder than the main scenario.[3] Xseed Games' localization blog compared The Dark Revenant to Etrian Odyssey series with "the tough but fair difficulty of Dark Souls."[4]
A long time ago, the small kingdom of Vittoria (ビトール Bythol in the PSP version's Japanese localization, Berimya in the SNES version's English localization) was built around a lofty tower, which pierced the sky. The people of the city, guarded by a mighty Dragon, lived in peace and abundance. However, King Bistalle (Berebus), the ruler of Vittoria, desired to expand his kingdom and ordered the scholars to research the Tower. Soon he was brought a tome written in an ancient language. As they were deciphering the tome, some scholars feared that they might be laying their hands on the forbidden knowledge of the ancients. The tome reads, "The Great Guardian of Vittoria, the Dragon, and the Essence of Power lies in the top of the Tower; the one who possesses the Essence will possess all." Undaunted by these otherwise ominous words, Vittoria decided to make this Essence of Power his own. He secretly organized an army which soon attacked the Tower and overwhelmed the Dragon. But as Bistalle grasped at the Essence of Power, the Dragon gave up its own life to destroy it. The Essence, losing control, transformed the King into a hideous monster and sank the entire kingdom of Vittoria, including the great tower, under the ground. All people on the surface forgot about Vittoria and the Tower in its center, and a thousand years passed.
One day, a swordsman named Ares (アレス=トラーノス Ares Toraernos[3] / Varik) is pursued by his nemesis, the sorceress Dela Delon (ドーラ・ドロン, transliterated as Dora Doran in The Dark Revenant to match the katakana and renamed Alexis in the English SNES version[1]) who seeks revenge for his slaying of her master. When Dela catches up with Ares and attacks, her magic causes the ground beneath them collapsed and both fall into the cursed Ruins of Vittoria. The player assumes the role of Ares and must escape from the dangerous ruin, with the vengeful Dela constantly in pursuit of him. She is also interested in escaping the maze herself and the two meet repeatedly. Whether or not Ares helps her in peril during the certain late events of the game, the ending changes slightly.
Originally released by Nihon Falcom in 1991 for the NEC PC-9801 and FM Towns home computers (and also ported to MS-DOS exclusively in Korea by Mantra and Ssangyong in 1996[5]), Brandish was later released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) and PC Engine CD-ROM². The PC Engine version was published by NEC and features CD quality music as well as vocal dialogue and narration. The PC-98 version was re-released as Brandish Renewal in 1995, with some new music and hard drive support.
The SNES port is the only English language version of the game ever released. It was published by Koei in 1994 in Japan and a few months later (in February 1995) in North America. Due to Nintendo of America's policies at that time, the game was regionally censored in its depiction of Dela's revealing costume and the plot was considerably altered.[6]
GamePro gave the SNES version a mixed review, commenting that the combat, though simplistic, is "more fun than it sounds". They criticized the "practically nonexistent" sound effects and repetitive music, and complained that the way the automap does not rotate along with the scenery is confusing, but concluded that the game's long length and addictive maze-crawling make it worthwhile. They gave it ratings of 4.0 for control, 3.5 for graphics, 2.5 for sound, and 4.5 out of 5 for funfactor.[12] VideoGames gave it a score of 7 out of 10, commenting that, with its relatively weak graphics, Brandish "goes for a solid gameplay over flash."[10] RPGFan gave it an overall score of 75%.[9]

It is a 3D remake developed and released by Nihon Falcom for the PlayStation Portable in 2009 originally only in Japan.[15] Its limited edition includes a calendar and original soundtrack CD. The Dark Revenant was given a budget price re-release in 2010.[16]
The game was considered for a North American release by Atlus[17][18] and Xseed Games.[19] In June 2014, an English language release was finally announced by Xseed Games as a downloadable title to arrive later in 2015[20] on PlayStation Network, also for the PlayStation Vita owners.[21] A trailer was shown at E3 2014[22] and the game was released on January 13, 2015.
According to Kurt Katala of Hardcore Gaming 101, "the PSP version is not only by far the definitive version of the first Brandish, but it's probably the best game in the series, period."[1] The English version of Brandish: The Dark Revenant was universally well received in the West upon its delayed release for a Metacritic score of 81%. It got an 8/10 from Destructoid,[23] a 4.5/5 from Hardcore Gamer,[27] and four out of five stars from USgamer.[24] Other review scores included B+ from Gaming Age,[26] 7/10 from Push Square,[28] 79% from RPGFan,[29] and 7/10 from RPG Site.[30]
Related media[edit]
Brandish Storybook (ブランディッシュ・ストーリーブック) (ISBN 978-4944000142) is a novelization of the game, co-authored by Katsunori Inoue and Suzuki Noriyuki and published in 1992. The story is told from the perspectives of both Ares and Dela. Another novel, Brandish Ares: Yobisamasu Unmei (ブランディッシュ・アレス 呼び覚ます運命) (ISBN 978-4893661463), is a prequel for the game, originally published in 1993. It was later made available for free (in Japanese) at Falcom's official website.[33]
Several soundtracks with the music from the game were also released, including Perfect Collection Brandish (KICA1102) and Falcom Neo Classic (KICA1114-5) in 1992, Falcom Special Box '93 (KICA9012-5) and Falcom Ending Collection 1987–1992 (KICA1132-3) in 1993, Brandish Piano Collection (KICA1153) in 1994, Falcom Special Box '96 (KICA9026-28) in 1996, Falcom Classics (KICA1201) in 1997, and Brandish ~The Dark Revenant~ Original Sound Track (NW10102800) and Brandish Original Sound Track ~FM TOWNS & Renewal~ (BR-OST-FR) in 2009.[34]
1995's audio drama CD Drama Brandish Gaiden (CDドラマ ブランディッシュ外伝) features voice acting by Yasunori Matsumoto (Ares), Kikuko Inoue (Dela), Junko Iwao, Yūko Mizutani, Kyōko Hikami, Yūko Miyamura, Minoru Inaba, Ryōtarō Okiayu, Yuri Amano, Kaori, Jūrōta Kosugi and Masako Katsuki (the cast is different from in the game's PC Engine CD-ROM² version). The drama was released as a part of Falcom Special Box '96 and Falcom Special Box '97 (KICA9029-31).
Brandish proved popular enough in Japan to warrant two direct sequels exclusively in Japan that continued the adventures of Ares and Dela: 1993's Brandish 2: The Planet Buster and 1994's Brandish 3: Spirit of Balcan. Another game, 1996's Brandish VT (Brandish 4), features a new story and characters. Dela also makes an appearance as a support character in Falcom's 2010 Ys vs. Sora no Kiseki: Alternative Saga,[35] and her costume was added to Rachel's wardrobe in Dead or Alive 5 Last Round.[36]

Wine, cheese and music
The excellent response to invitations given by Finchley (South) Young Conservatives, to a wine and cheese evening last week, helped towards a really enjoyable two hours get-together for Young Conservatives, their friends, and parents.'
The principal guest of the evening, Mrs. Margaret Thatcher, M.P., soon began circulating amongst the visitors, chatting informally with the majority of them, before speaking to the whole gathering in a more formal manner.
Mrs. Thatcher mentioned that the evening was the eve of a new session of Parliament, and in just over twenty minutes she summarised some of the principal matters that would be dealt with by the government in the next few months.
Mentioning in particular the pay pause and the Common Market, she said of the former that the results were at last showing and it was now evident that the pause was having the required effect. She was quite convinced that this country's entry into the Common Market would be a great success—already our exports to Europe were increasing rapidly and we were competing on the Continent at this moment very successfully, in spite of the fact that our exports were heavily taxed abroad.
The meeting closed with a Y.C. member, Brian Wilcocks, giving a very polished display of musical entertainment on his accordion.

Today's Northeast Bexar County Democrats meeting was a forum for congressional candidates and the TX 35 race was the most hotly contested with 3 candidates. Patrick Shearer made a strong case for his candidacy and the need for a progressive who will not just vote the right way but who will be a real leader.
The club members seemed genuinely enthusiastic about his candidacy and one attendee told me that Patrick is just the kind of congressman the district deserves. That same person, a Hispanic male, was disappointed in Sylvia Romo whose case for her candidacy was largely "this district was drawn as a minority district and I'm a Latina, I represent diversity."Ciro Rodriguez was defensive when called out for his votes in favor of the Stupak "coat hanger" amendment to the health care reform bill and his vote against the bailout of the US auto industry that saved tens of thousands of well paying union jobs, American jobs. His defense for Stupak was that it isn't any different than the existing Hyde Amendment preventing federal funding for abortions which isn't really true and if it was then there was no need for Stupak in the first place. His defense for voting against American union jobs was non-existent, he just said he was proud to have voted against the bailout. Ciro blustered as if to say "How dare you call me out on those votes!" His defense seemed to fall on largely deaf ears judging by the audience response.
Patrick Shearer showed that he is a committed progressive and received a strong round of applause that I take to be an indication that he connected with most of the membership in attendance. I look forward to the final maps and the real start of the campaign.
