And true enough, there was.
At first glance, my patriotic alarm bells went ringing madly. Damnit, you don't mess with the country's historic formal dress like that! That's treason! Isn't anything sacred anymore???!!!
And then after a beat --well after a few minutes of staring at it in full aghast, really-- the disgust wore off and the freaking design actually warmed up to me. My creative bones suddenly tell me that "Hey, it is STILL the barong tagalog...but with a twist! You're a creative director! This is out of the box! Your son will be the talk of the town! Instant motherfucking fame on the catwalk to Primary School!"
And when you give me BS like that, I'm sold. LOL!
Now this freak of nature barong tagalog sells at P2,500.00. Hardly reasonable. Thank God I have an art director for a husband. So we're buying a plain, traditional barong and ...painting on it. Jesus, we are so pumped to do this! Inspired, the hunt for Kenji's barong tagalog has catapulted to the level of 'special project'.
From shock to anger to joy to dismay to excitement...damn, this Spongebob Barong really screwed up my hormones for the day.

[PHOTO LINKS BELOW] For many yiddishe families in the area, summer means the soothing majesty of upstate New York's natural surroundings.
Of course, though, you have to get there first, and there are many minute details that can threaten a successful journey from the city pavement to the Catskill mountains.
That's the pre‐summer‐exodus warning coming from the Chaveirim organization, which is thoroughly familiar with the mechanical mishaps that can beset families who are trying to escape stress rather than become engulfed in it. The organization – known as a Jewish AAA of sorts – provides roadside assistance to community members.
With masses of New York City residents preparing to make the yearly migration from homes to bungalows, three branches of Chaveirim – in Boro Park, Williamsburg and Monroe – are conducting a public "Car Safety Event" this week.
Boro Park & Williamsburg held their event this past Sunday.
Chaveirim of Monroe will be holding their event this coming Wednesday, while Chaveirim of Lakewood plans to hold the event in several weeks when the z'man there ends.
Open to all and free of charge, the drop‐in event offered a quick vehicle inspection that covers many basic mechanical aspects that could lead to the nightmare of a highway breakdown when it's least wanted. While not an official Department of Motor Vehicles inspection, the 10‐minute "in‐and‐out" service is valuable, organizers say, because it can rectify simple yet menacing problems and even detect a serious mechanical problem in the making.
Chaveirim volunteers and professional mechanics inspected each car's exterior, engine and tires. More than 30 items were checked on each vehicle and brief safety tips were given to each driver. If a serious issue is discovered, the mechanics advised the driver what to do.
Chaveirim organizers said many people do not realize the importance of proper air pressure in tires, and adequate oil and other fluids. Many people do not know what fluids a car needs – brake fluid can be dangerously low in some cases – or how to change a flat tire. Furthermore, many new minivan drivers do not know where to find the spare tire.
Organizers tell YWN that they inspected hundreds of vehicles between Boro Park & Williamsburg, even though the event took place after just a few days notice.
Chaveirim thanks Yitzy's Towing, Ropo Tires, and the NYPD for their assistance. To reach Chaveirim's 24‐hour hotline in the Catskills this summer, please call 718‐431‐8181.

Virginia game officials survey snapping turtles
The Associated Press
CHARLES CITY, Va. (AP) — In water to his waist and mud to his calves, Ben Colteaux pulled up a net and found a stinky monster.
Colteaux had caught a snapping turtle, Virginia's largest freshwater turtle — and a living link to the age of dinosaurs.
This one looked the part, with a sharp beak, powerful, stubby legs, long claws and a Stegosaurus-like tail. It hissed and lunged at Colteaux, a wildlife ecologist.
The thing looked huge — 14 pounds, with a shell the size of a skillet. But snappers can top 25 pounds, and a 51-pounder holds the Virginia record.
Some people eat turtles, especially in China, and the snapper is the only turtle for which Virginia allows commercial trapping. Virginia's annual catch tripled in recent years, raising concerns that snappers could be in trouble.
"We have a mentality that there are plenty of snapping turtles out there," said J.D. Kleopfer, a reptile expert with Virginia's game department. "Well, they used to say that about the passenger pigeon, the buffalo and other species that have either gone extinct or have pretty much been decimated. So we want to get a better grasp on this."
Colteaux, Kleopfer and others began checking turtle traps last month for a three-year, $100,000 study to determine how the snapper population is doing. On this day in early August, they were working swampy Morris Creek in Charles City County.
Many Virginians have long regarded snappers with fear and superstition, making up myths about them. (No, they won't bite swimmers' toes or snap a broom handle in half.)
Colteaux said snappers are beneficial denizens of streams and ponds, where they eat, among other things, dead fish and detritus.
"I love them," Colteaux said after hauling the grinning, just-caught snapper onto his boat. "I'm a reptile guy in general, but this is a beautiful animal right here."
Concerned about their own snapper populations, states including North Carolina and Maryland have imposed catch restrictions in recent years. But the snapper trade is little-regulated in Virginia, and the catch jumped from 33,800 pounds in 2008 to 98,900 in 2010.
By trapping snappers, marking them and catching them again — or not catching them —the Virginia scientists plan to determine statistically if the population is going up, down or holding steady. Colteaux, a Virginia Commonwealth University doctoral student, leads the study.
Each trap is 7 feet long, consisting of nylon netting around three steel hoops. Turtles crawl in through a funnel and can't find their way out. Floats ensure that trapped turtles can get air.
The study's results could lead to new limits on Virginia's snapper harvest. "The goal," Colteaux said, "is to find that balancing point where the animal can persist and thrive and people can still continue to fish them."
China is importing huge numbers of wild-caught snappers and other turtles, experts say.
"At the same time that they have kind of cleaned out their own turtles, they are turning to other parts of the world, in the Southeast U.S. particularly," said Kurt Buhlmann, a University of George reptile expert.
The number of snappers shipped from the U.S. to Asia — mainly China — skyrocketed from about 129,500 in 2003 to 683,300 in 2010, according to federal figures. Snappers are popular because they carry a lot of meat.
Snappers' little-different ancestors survived whatever killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. But experts say the animals can't withstand heavy trapping because they are slow to reproduce. Snappers often don't lay eggs until they are in their teens, and most eggs are eaten by raccoons and other predators. To compensate, snappers can live for 50 years or more.
But the big, old ones — those best at reproducing — are the very ones most valued by commercial trappers.
Tommy Fletcher of Rock Hall, Md., catches snappers from Maryland to North Carolina. He caught about 22,000 pounds during Virginia's June-through-September season last year.
"I'd say you have plenty" of snappers, Fletcher said. "How could I work away from home all summer year after year if the harvest wasn't staying consistent?"
Fletcher occasionally eats turtle pot pies, turtle soup and his favorite, fried turtle.
Fletcher can't get his wife and two children to eat it. "My wife's one of those women, if it ain't USDA-inspected, she don't want nothing to do with it. She won't eat deer or ducks or nothing."
Fletcher takes his turtles to Millington Seafood in Millington, Md., where he gets $1 a pound for males and $2 for females.
Females are more valuable because they are sold, as breeders, to turtle farms in Louisiana and other states, said Dave Bishel, co-owner of Millington Seafood, a major snapper buyer in the mid-Atlantic region.
Babies hatched at the farms are sent to China, where they are raised for food, Bishel said. He sells meat from males to U.S. restaurants. He said he sells few adults to China.
Concerns about snapper exports to China are overblown because most of those turtles are the farm-raised babies, Bishel said.
Still, it's a concern when lots of big females are taken from the wild to stock those turtle farms, said Bruce J. Weissgold, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service specialist in the international animal trade.
"To the wild population, it doesn't matter whether (the big females) are butchered or whether they are put in a farm," Weissgold said. "They are now dead to the wild population."
Bishel said snapper populations can remain healthy if states enact reasonable regulations. "I believe it's a species that can be managed."
The snapper that Colteaux caught in Morris Creek sported on its shell a quarter-sized yellow tag, labeling the creature No. 4, and a transmitter that looked like a lipstick case with a tail, for following its movements. It turned out that Colteaux had caught, outfitted and released the turtle the day before.
Turtle trapping means long, hot days working with heavy animals that smell like river mud and a sardines-and-shrimp concoction that baits the traps.
"That smell stays with you through several showers," Colteaux said. "It's a glamorous life, I know."
Colteaux returned to the waist-deep water, gave the snapper a little toss at arm's length, and No. 4 went back to his ancient endeavors.

Standing in front of 54 Park Street, at 8am, on a fresh, chilly Monday morning, reminded me of Holly Golightly – who stood in front of Tiffany's, admiring her favourite jewels.
Both of us were looking at our favourite buildings. Both of us were cupping warm take-away cups of piping hot cappuccinos. Both of us were wearing black sunnies (even in the shade).
The only difference was that she couldn't enter her dream building… but I could. And I did.
For those who read my last post and followed my tweets would know that I was the work experience girl at Madison magazine in Sydney, last week. It was a dreamy week. I didn't wake up in the morning feeling like my world was ending. I didn't have a grumpy afternoon. And I went to bed with a big smile.
I thought arriving early at your job is always a good sign. But how early is too early? I was an hour early – is that bad? Well, obviously. The security guard looked at me, strangely, and asked me to get another coffee – because I wasn't getting through those glass doors before 9.30am. This is what you get for being too keen – what a great start!
When I finally got to swipe my card and enter the wonderful world of ACP – it felt amazing. It felt like I belonged to that place. Except the bold prints of my "VISITOR" pass, were strongly disagreeing.
I had imagined a HUGE office with high-heeled, caked-faced and high-end designer-label-screaming bodies walking everywhere. And what I saw, on that morning, was a complete opposite of my media-driven illusion.
Everyone in the non-magazine world has been convinced by innumerable mainstream movies and TV shows that every 'fashion magazine office' is deluged with arrogant and hungry fashion journalists who stomp their six-inch heels into the office and yell at every possible living being. This offensive stereotype is not just unachievable but extremely fictional.
And the Madison Editorial office proved that to me.
The office is located on level 11 of the ACP head office. It has a very cute, organised and stylish vibe to it. The gigantic "m" logo, at the front desk, screams branding and is an intimidating reminder of where you are. The first thing you notice are the beautiful editorials stuck on every window pane and bare wall.
You know you are in the fashion department (which only comprises of three lovely ladies) when you see a big stack of international magazines on the desks, and flat ballerinas hidden under the desks.
The floral scents, shimmery lipstick pallets and TONS of goody bags reinforce the fact that you are in the beauty department. It is a product-slaves' heaven. It is a tug of war between Chanel, Benefit, Thierry Mugler and Revlon – everyone is fighting for a spot on the desk.
The arts department is oozing out with huge A3-white sheets with sample prints and layouts for the next issue. The intelligent cubicle of talented feature writers cannot be missed. And that is because it is right next to the office of the boss.
The boss – the editor – Elizabeth Renkert.
Overlooking the luscious green Hyde Park, the antique church and the infamous Coca-Cola sign – Lizzie's office has a personality. The minimalistic and white furniture compliments the bright and glamourous past-front covers of the magazine. It smelt like an editor's office; humble, fruity, musky and stylish scent filled the air.
Behind a bare white door, with an average looking doorknob was a world of fashion dreams. It was Madison's fashion cupboard. I only got to enter the clothing heaven once – to hang a delivery for an editorial – but it looked like something to die for. It wasn't as big as seen on Sex and the City and Devil Wears Prada – but it was bigger than my closet, for sure.
One of the daily errands was to deliver the beautifully wrapped presents and well-written press releases to the desks of the Fashion and Beauty editors.
And the office that won the prize for accommodating the most products was that of the Beauty and Living Director, Stephanie Darling.
Her cluttered office, full of products and sample bags would be every girl's dream location – but for Stephanie – all of them were screaming deadlines. For her, it wouldn't be Chloe, Chanel, Tom Ford or Clinique; it would be December's feature, January's product review and February's 'luxe to less'.
I often found myself eavesdropping on the daily tasks and shoots of the fashion department. It was a little hard to catch up with some of the conversation as it was heavily smothered with brand names. I got somewhere between a Lebanon trip, Miu Miu bag, Becker Minty and Toni Maticevski.
It was overwhelming to be present in the same office as other talented women (and two men) who put their heart and soul into producing one of Australia's top fashion magazines, every month. Being surrounded by such great writers and personalities made me realise that the world of fashion is not glamourous and dumb. Not even close to it. It is smart, intelligent, classy and extremely helpful.
A moment with my Idols
The most exciting aspect of my week was putting a face to all the names I read on the masthead, every month. After delivering letters and parcels to their desks, every day, I had pretty much stamped their faces in the memory chip of my brain.
I got the opportunity to speak to some of the most talented minds of the magazine.
Who does what. What products are reviewed for what reasons. What events are seriously useless. And what looks are overrated. Whoever said Beauty editors are arrogant and up-themselves – eat your words, please.
Kat has been in the gloss industry for years and I have been admiring her beautiful writing style since I held my first ever Australian magazine. After moving from her table and sitting on the one next to her, I decided to break the ice and introduce myself.
This was followed by a lovely, long chat with the talented lady about her work, my aspirations and our mutual acquaintances. The conversation ended with Kat telling me, "I hope to see your name around. It is a very distinctive name, I won't be forgetting it!"
She's looking at me and smiling.
My instant reaction, "Hi, I'm Shitika".
She's still smiling and walking, "I'm Lizzy!"
I can see the words vomit out of my mouth – "Oh! I know".
I will give you 2-minutes to stop laughing. That is all.
Every day I delivered her packages, letters and newspaper on her desk, and I made sure I had my "I-am-comfortable-here" smile. I promise, I did. Like every work experience girl, I really wanted to enter her office and speak to her. I wanted my very own – Lizzie time!
And on the last day, I got it. With a big beam on my face and a thumping heart – I entered the beautiful interiors of Lizzie's office and spoke to her for a satisfying amount of time.
The past week has been like living a dream. I remember being 16, reading Cleo and dreaming about working in a world surrounded by such glamour. That was a teenage dream.
Today, it means the world to me. I didn't want to be there because I wanted to see a celebrity or scab some free products from the Beauty cupboard. I was there to be surrounded by inspiring people with beautiful success stories. I wanted to breathe magazine air. I wanted to see what goes behind the production of Madison.
And I got it all.
I have never valued photocopying more than I did last week. One day, I was Google searching celebrity wisdom quotes and the other, I was searching for the brand of Kylie Minogue's shoes on the September issue cover.
After several reader requests, transcriptions, mail orders and dock runs – I am even more than ready for my future. I am ready to take on the wacky and wonderful world of glossy magazines.
Note: Thank you to everyone who I shared an elevator ride with and had ranting-coffee sessions at the ACP office. Thank you Sophie for giving me all the wonderful tasks. It was lovely working under you.

#GPnews: GPs can't help sleep-deprived elderly (they're on lion watch)
Top stories
GPs 'not ready to give up QOF' in contract overhaul
Many more eligible for bisphosphonates after NICE lowers threshold to 1%
15:00 'This is why you don't sleep as well as you get older – and why your GP probably can't help,' says a Sun newspaper headline today.
In fact, poor sleep in older people is an 'ancient throwback' to when men lived in caves and it fell to elders to look out for predators, according to a study which examined a hunter-gatherer community in Tanzania.
Researcher Dr David Samson, from Duke University in North Carolina, said: 'The idea that there's a benefit to living with grandparents has been around for a while, but this study extends that idea to vigilance during night-time sleep.'
His research teammate Professor Charlie Nunn, an expert in evolutionary anthropology at Duke University, said: 'Any time you have a mixed-age group population, some go to bed early, some later.
'If you're older you're more of a morning lark. If you're younger you're more of a night owl.
'A lot of older people go to doctors complaining that they wake up early and can't get back to sleep.
'But maybe there's nothing wrong with them. Maybe some of the medical issues we have today could be explained not as disorders, but as a relic of an evolutionary past in which they were beneficial.'
11:00 Doctor leaders are also concerned about planned public health cuts.
Dr Iain Kennedy, BMA public health committee chair, said: 'Cuts like this signify a huge step backwards for public health, and will have a damaging impact on people's health and wellbeing, inevitably costing the NHS far more in the long term.
'At a time when a third of Britons are projected to be obese by 2030, when smoking accounts for around 100,000 deaths a year in the UK, and when there's been a significant rise in the number of cases of sexually transmitted infections, public health services are more vital than ever in delivering preventative care.
'We have seen successive governments fail to deliver a sustainable, long-term plan to improve public health.
'The Government must ensure public health receives the funding it desperately needs, alongside work to improve the provision of sexual health services, tighten regulation of the food and soft drinks industry, introduce a minimum unit price on alcohol and expand support for people to quit smoking.'
09:50 The Department of Health has claimed it has 'a strong track record' on public health, reports the Telegraph this morning.
The DH was commenting on a report from the King's Fund, which warned councils are cutting spending on things like smoking cessation and sexual health services by £85m, and which we cover in full here.
A spokesperson said: 'We have a strong track record on public health—cancer survival and dementia diagnosis are at a record high whilst smoking rates and teen pregnancies are at an all-time low.
'Over the current spending period we will invest more than £16bn in local government public health services.
'Moreover, we have shown that we are willing to take tough action to protect the public's health—introducing standardised packaging of cigarettes, a Soft Drinks Industry Levy and a world leading childhood obesity plan.'
The King's Fund's expert said that 'at a time when the rate of syphilis is at its highest level for 70 years, to cut spending on sexual health services is the falsest of false economies'.
Niall Dickson, chief executive of the NHS Confederation, and former chair of the GMC said: 'The Government's whole approach to reforming health care has been based on the promise of a radical upgrade in prevention and public health, yet all we have seen is cut after cut in this budget. It is self defeating to reduce public health spending while looking to transform care.
'Our members report direct cuts to front-line services, including the treatment of substance misuse, smoking cessation and sexual health. Further gaps in out-of-hospital and social care funding intensifies the pressures on health services.'

F*** you ,Ministry of Truth
Why the hell this is not on mainstream news?
BBC health news recently reported antibiotic resistant gonorrhoea strain and the partial , cross over protection from meningitis B vaccine ( because both are Neisseria bacterium) against gonorrhoea. I guess the latter is never going to materialise.
1.5 billion for DUP and saving £85 million for this ??
Don't say I like to politicise issues again .....

One more weekend staying away from family… and can't stop writing myself !
It has been around 2 month my loving wife and cutee hero little Aarav on vacation and are back home in India. There are couple of things I was thinking when we were planning for this vacation. We thought a lot together and decided for couple months vacation for my wife and little one as dear and near ones were waiting to see them back home, especially "our little hero". I was in dilemma whether to let them go on vacation these many days or not. The reason is, I started realizing the life without family, especially without my 8 months old hero who keeps charging his daddy every day. But then we took a decision and finally made a travel plan to make other family members happy back home country. So the vacation started with a new paragraph of one the chapter in my life! Now they are back to home town for vacation, people were extremely happy to see them back especially with Aarav (LisAnk's little guy). They all were very happy and started enjoying life all together with lots of fun and memories. Initial days I was too feeling very happy to see them enjoying back home with parents and other family members and at the other hand, getting a chance living alone here in freedom with bachelor life J. But I must say this freedom you would not accept after couple weeks especially when you have little on in your family, missing you "Daddy's little guy", counting these days ! I still remember, I wrote a blog on April 2010 on "Somebody was crying whenever I was flying" Here the situation is kind of reverse :), You never know what is waiting ahead in your life.
Here I would like to express thanks from bottom of my heart to all my near friends who took care of lot of things during this time when I am away from family. They never let me feel away from family. During this time there were many occasions, gathering, celebrations we had but I must say guys, in none of these events I felt that I am away from family. Weekdays are kind of busy for most of us so time would go fast, but weekends are kind of long time to pass without family but they (specially all my younger sisters :)) always arrange something over the weekend and never forgot to invite me to be a part of it. Mostly it is kind of potlucks, gatherings, playing games, making some gossips, going together for bowling, pizza parties, and more importantly make memories out of it. So time was passing fast and I am not feeling away from family. Mostly every weekend or some time during the weekdays they somehow arrange dinners for me and they always try to make me feel like I am not away from family by making delicious home made dishes. Every time I go on dinner, I always felt having dinner with family as I never felt its just a dinner but always felt a dinner of delicious dishes made with lots of love, kindness, friendship and feelings of caring nature !! They keep arranging potluck mostly over the weekends with different reasons and never forgot to invite me. They knew that I can cook something for potluck but they never asked me to do so and come with some recipe. You guys have took care of many things when I am away from family. I would like to express my thanks for all such things not only by writing but would like to arrange a small party for you guys once my family back home :) I must say without you guys it would have been difficult for me to pass the hard time away from family. You guys have made memories in one of the chapter of my life and I owe you guys !!
Have a wonderful life and god bless !
Regards & Love,

What motivates you to keep going, to reach for your dreams, to persist and endure? Psychology has, over the last 40 years, learned a great deal about human motivation and drive. In this episode we ask Daniel Pink, author of Drive, how we can better put that knowledge to use in our lives and in our workplaces and institutions.

The latest research in the property industry has suggested that the city's notoriously expensive inner west may have peaked, while prices in the suburbs are experiencing the highest recorded levels to date.
Wealthy Londoners are scattering from the city core, which is naturally pushing up prices as demand in the suburbs increases. Landlords looking to make worth-while returns on buy-to-let properties are already making their mark in areas such as Croydon and Sutton, and first time buyers are glad to finally be sitting on assets which will only continue to appreciate in capital value.
In contrast, prices and demand in central London have slumped. For example, in Westminster prices have fallen by a 8.2 percent and prices in the borough of Fulham and Hammersmith have only increased by 1% since 2015.
These shifts have altered wealth and house price patterns, with property hotspots receiving huge regeneration programmes. For example, Croydon is due to be the home of the next Westfield shopping centre, as well as seeing several new residential developments make the area their home.
Inspired Homes currently have five developments in Croydon with prices starting at £288,950.
All of our homes offer an open plan interior designed for modern, luxurious urban living. They include the latest efficiencies in heating technologies, the UK's fastest hyperoptic broadband, Sky TV and marble bathrooms really do let you 'live brilliantly'.

When you buy a course from TXBA, you're getting a bunch of different things. Each course has some of the following items:
If you had to download each of these items individually, it would be hard to keep track of everything, AND it would be challenging to know for sure that you've got everything that you're supposed to have.
That's why each of our courses is delivered in a Zip file. A Zip file is a "container" that holds other folders and files. So for each course you buy, you only need to download one zip file for each course and you'll have everything that comes with the course.
There's only one problem: you need to get the course files out of the zip file before you can use them. Fortunately, this is pretty easy and does not require any special software on most computers. Below are instructions for downloading and unzipping courses for Mac and Windows computers.
When you purchase a course, you will see the download links at the bottom of your order receipt, but you can always see a list of all your courses on your My Courses page. This guide assumes that you're looking at that page.

I am a pleaser. I never thought of Paul as being a pleaser.
Paul, in my mind, is a combative extrovert. I see him as one of the people who stands on the street corner with a megaphone, telling people to repent, having the gentleness of a sledgehammer.
Never mind that I know better.
When you read the beginning of Galatians, it's easy to get that picture, with Paul saying "Damn anyone who preaches a different gospel than I preached." Having staked out this ground, he says "Does that sound like someone trying to make you happy?"
But then he says, "If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ."
I read that sentence several times the other day. The word "still" jumped out at me. Because I never thought of Paul as a pleaser, as a person doing things to win favor, to build reputation, to develop a resume. In fact, in one letter he outlines all the things that should give him great favor in God's eyes and says that he writes them off as worthless.
And then I realized that only pleasers are able to generate lists of how we built our religious reputations in impressive ways. We carefully cultivate the right kind of serving, the right kind of humility, the right kind of indignation. We learn the rules carefully so we can keep them better than anyone else. We are really nice, in whatever way our group defines nice.
And Paul says, "I used to do that, all the time."
In this letter, Paul is going to talk about freedom from the kind of religious rules we follow to please other people. He's going to talk about freedom to follow Jesus. It helps me to know that he's experienced both.

Entirely curated and compiled by Collins himself, this idea for the "Take A Look At Me Now" concept is to examine how his songs have evolved over time, with the majority of the additional content throughout the series focused on live versions of the tracks. By contrasting the original studio versions of the material with later performances, the series demonstrates how Collins' songs take on a life of their own once they're freed from the confines of the studio.A 3-LP vinyl boxed set will be available which compile 180gm vinyl editions of both Face Value and Both Sides together.

Mobile phones, SMS, and relationships: issues of access, control and privacy
Document Type
Publication details
Horstmanshof, L & Power, MR 2005, 'Mobile phones, SMS, and relationships: issues of access, control and privacy', Australian Journal of Communication, vol. 32, no. 1, pp. 33-52.
Peer Reviewed
Text messaging, or SMS (Short-Message-Service), allows users to send and receive short messages from handheld digital mobile phones or from a computer to a mobile phone, giving almost instant access to others so connected. The privacy and immediacy of SMS and its widespread use have implications for human behaviour and social intercourse. The focus-group research with SMS users reported in this paper provides rich details and nuances of how text messaging affects young adults' patterns of communication and social behaviour. The paper goes beyond documenting commonly held beliefs about young adults' use of SMS- that it is prevalent and used for coordination - to probe issues of privacy, control of access, the dilemma of availability, and gender differences in use. The paper examines the way SMS messages are used not only for the content of the messages per se, but for the sense of being in social (phatic) contact with others.

Letter to Jane Stewart from the Coalition for a Public Inquiry
November 20, 1998
The Honourable Jane Stewart, Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs
Dear Minister Stewart:
Thank you very much for your letter dated October 28, 1998, responding to our letter of September 11th. We are pleased to note that you share our "conviction that human rights must be protected". We are, however, very disappointed with your failure to acknowledge that a public inquiry is the only way to protect human rights in Ontario.
We are now calling on you to create a federal inquiry into the circumstances which led to the fatal shooting of First Nations citizen Dudley George in Ipperwash Park on September 6, 1995.
Horrible violations of human rights occurred during that 11:00 p.m. police assault on a handful of unarmed protestors. The results were: one death; one person being beaten unconscious and requiring three days hospitalization; a number of seemingly arbitrary detentions; and, a handling of press and public information which amounted to false propagandizing about the protestors having guns that simply didn't exist. To date, a low-ranking police officer has been convicted of criminal negligence and given a sentence of 180 hours of community service; he retains his job. No explanation has come forward for the lies about the guns or the arrests of the individuals who were seeking medical care and attention. The officers who beat one man unconscious have never even been identified. It is clear - from criminal trials as well as leaked documents - that the Ontario cabinet was integral to the decision to take a confrontational approach towards the protestors - seeking to have them removed from the Park as soon as possible. A local MPP, who was in the OPP command post during the hours before the assault, sending faxes to Ontario Cabinet members, was quoted as saying that Queen's Park will take a hard line with the protestors and if people are hurt - so be it.
Numerous other complaints have surfaced about the treatment First Nations Peoples are experiencing at the hands of the current Ontario government. Some of the issues frequently identified include: re-criminalization of fishing rights, reneging on the deal made for Casino Rama, the impact of "Lands for Life" (economic use of public lands in the north), cancellation of the Harvesting Agreement settled with the Williams Treaty Nations, loss of right to representation on Ontario school boards who are paid by Band Councils to educate First Nations children, and increased problems with the Ontario Provincial Police on First Nations territories in other parts of the Province.
When one examines the apparent 'get tough' attitude of the government towards the Stoney Point People at Ipperwash Park in the context of this list of grievances, it is clear that these are not isolated occurrences. There is an obvious pattern of intent to strip the First Peoples of this region of their right to self-determination -- a right recognized by the United Nations which, in Canada, is sometimes termed as Aboriginal Inherent Rights.
We disagree with your assertion that "only the Province of Ontario has the authority to call such an inquiry". The Province will not call this inquiry and, while our Coalition and others attempt to argue them into it, critical evidence is evaporating: eg. tapes, paper files and electronic records.
The Federal government has a clear and acknowledged fiduciary responsibility for Aboriginal Peoples living inside Canada. It is based on this responsibility that a previous federal government created the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples. One might say that Canada has a social culture of engaging in inquiries and public investigations to set to rest outstanding public concerns about acts sanctioned or taken by government or other public bodies. Unfortunately, while this makes the lack of an inquiry into the circumstances around Dudley George's death even more glaring, it is saddening to observe that the mandating of public inquiries and similar investigations frequently seems designed to meet the needs of government rather than the public. In this case, literally thousands of calls for an inquiry by George family members, faith communities, editorials, Aboriginal and First Nations leaders, municipalities, labour organizations, human rights groups (including Amnesty International), civil libertarians and concerned individuals have gone unheeded.
Your government has an over-all responsibility in Canada for "peace, order and good government". You have special responsibility for Aboriginal Peoples. And, in the eyes of the international community, you have responsibility for maintaining one of the highest standards of respect for human rights of any nation in the world. Based on these mandates, you can and must call an inquiry into this matter.
We forwarded to Premier Harris (in a letter dated October 20th, which was copied to you) a strong legal opinion that the calling of such an inquiry would not prejudice the ongoing related court cases. We informed the Premier that if he did not take positive action, we would be forced to turn to the court of world opinion to bring pressure to bear for the inquiry. Our first preference, however, is to settle this at home.
Will you call a public inquiry into the death of Dudley George?
Members of our Coalition will be in Ottawa on December 10, 1998, to meet with our supporters on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the United Nations Universal Declaration on Human Rights. Can we meet with you to discuss these matters further?
Sincerely yours,
Ann Pohl & Darlene Ritchie Spokespersons for the Coalition

Madam Secretary Season 3 Episode 14 Review: Labor of LoveElizabeth Harlow at .
The cherry trees may be blooming in DC, but young love certainly is not.
Relationships were falling apart left, right, and center on Madam Secretary Season 3 Episode 14, but as always, there was still work to do. International aid deals wait for no broken hearts.
Daisy's heartbreak was the most unexpected, and the one I don't regret. Her beau seemed liked a boorish bro-dude, but turned out to be a CIA operative using the job at State as a cover. I'm not sure yet if this redeems him or makes him even more reprehensible.
At the very least, it does get MS back to it's Season 1 thriller roots.
Honestly, Daisy may be mourning lost possibilities, but did anybody think those two had a future beyond a few very hot and heavy rolls in the hay? Kevin, or whatever his real name was, was a palette cleanser, not a prince charming.
I'm just hoping that Matt isn't waiting in the wings to pick up the pieces yet again. I'm not against those two pairing up again and making it work, but it can't be on such uneven terms. He needs to be the one to go out and date some perfectly nice, beautiful woman
The jealousy needs to go both ways.
What's with women and the fairy tale? Even if you grow up thinking you want to look life square in the eye, there's still this part of you that's...looking for the pink, bubbly, happily-ever-after thing.Elizabeth
We already knew Jay's marriage was on the rocks, and Abby's not-quite betrayal actually seems par for the course to me. Not sure why she's calling *his* best fried, but it was probably the same instinct that led her to get the terrible suburban mom stacked pixie haircut.
Of course, it's hard to believe Scott is his best friend when Jay doesn't recognize his phone number. Or did Scott pick up a burner phone just to talk to Mrs. Whitman?
The whole overly convoluted plot was totally worth it for all of Blake's buttinsky comments, and the revelation of his love of Dateline.
Matt: Is this more Dateline?
Blake: It's semi-legitmate journalism.
And the Venezuelan Foreign Minister's obsession with
Costco big box stores totally made his presence worthwhile. Honestly, just having Colombia and it's insurgent guerilla groups make peace would have been a big deal, adding in the MOU wasn't really necessary.
Except that it facilitated the whole exchange in her office. I swear, I nearly choked on my drink because I laughed so hard and then I couldn't stop giggling.
Offering Hamilton tickets or a box store membership is just too ludicrous for the writers to come up -- it had to be sourced from the DC rumor mill about one or more actual diplomatic negotiations.
Foreign Minister Rojas: What about a membership at one of those big box stores you have here?
Elizabeth: Yeah. You bet.
Rojas: Inflation in Venezuela makes prices on basic goods very high. So if I could purchase a few things in bulk, even with the cost of shipping, I'd be a hero to my mother.
Elizabeth: Oh, yeah. I get it. I've got a pantry full of toilet paper. We're gonna make that happen.
The other thing that bugged me about the "Romeo & Juliet" peace deal visit was Stevie. Oh Stevie, it's not your fault. But after losing the poet laureate, who the hell would give make you responsible for somebody as important as Soledad seemed to be?
I just hate hate hate this arc. Isn't Stevie still in school? Does the ethics office not exist in this universe? Has no (rightly) disgruntled staffer leaked to the press about this egregious act of nepotism? I know they want her as a more regular cast member, but yeesh.
Elizabeth [after Stevie describes what a Memorandum of Understanding is]: It's nice to know that *one* of my kids listens to me.
Stevie: Actually, I was listening to Russell Jackson.
Although, at least I have feelings about Stevie's arc. I'm completely ambivalent about Henry's current operation, although I still wonder exactly what his weekly schedule looks like every time he's shown at some undisclosed monitoring location.
He's still at the Military College right? Does he have class on Monday and Wednesday, then run ops on Tuesday and Thursday, with open office hours Friday before noon?
For all my snark, and generally not caring about whatever the militia they're hunting down, I'm holding out faith that it'll all connect. We haven't been let down on that front so far, so I'm willing to give it time.
Seriously, it's like The Bachelorette, but with righteous politics and world influence.Matt
Going forward, Elizabeth is going to have a tough call to make when she faces something that so many women have -- workplace harassment. I'm really looking forward to her punching the guy in the face on Madame Secretary Season 3 Episode 15 ("Break in Diplomacy").
Of course, I'm also a little confused that that's the biggest problem with the Philippines' "controversial" new president, since his real world counterpart has much more serious baggage. Still, it's good to have a light shone on such a pervasive problem that usually gets laughed off or disregarded.
Elizabeth KO-ing a foreign leader won't be the only bit of excitement though. The Secretary has Jay trying to ferret out just what Kevin did for the CIA and why he was in the State Dept. It doesn't really seem like his wheelhouse, but it's a good distraction from his marital woes.
There's no distracting Henry from worrying about Ian though. He might not like him or feel as responsible as he did with Dmitri, but he's a man of action. Waiting by the phone will never be his strength.
Foreign Minister Rojas: Nevertheless, I must go back to Caracas and rather awkwardly withdraw my support for your memorandum until the situation is settled.
Elizabeth: Can you just stick around for another day? Just give us a chance to straighten this out? Anything you need, my staff will provide it. And...I might have a lead on a couple of Hamilton tickets. We'll get you up to New York. Stay at the Plaza Hotel.
Rojas: Eh, I've already seen the original cast.
If you were left a little confused after the month long hiatus, remember that you can always watch Madam Secretary online to catch up on the seemingly minor arcs. If history is any indication, the smallest of details can end up being super important, so go refresh your memory!
And as always, we want to hear what you thought about "Labor of Love." Will Daisy ever be happy? Should Stevie be fired? Will Elizabeth ever find a jacket with full length sleeves? Do you like the attempts at the ensemble, or should MS be all Elizabeth, all the time?
Elizabeth Harlow was a staff writer for TV Fanatic. She left the organization in October 2018.

As I have mentioned previously, I am using the new social network, Ello. New, and not without problems – the worst of which (for me) involve the user interface. Pale grey icons on text on a white background do not make for good readability, so I had a poke around in the page source to see if I could use some custom CSS to make it more readable.
Different browsers use different ways to override the CSS provided by sites; Google Chrome has an extension called Stylish, which does this for me. (Also available for Firefox, I believe.)
For anyone wanting to try this out, here is the CSS I am using. It's a bit rough and ready, but fixes colour contrast and scrolling issues that were breaking things for me.
#drawer, #peops { overflow-y: scroll; }
.btn--ico { color: #000; font-weight: bold; } .svgicon { stroke: #000; stroke-width: 2px; }
.postbar { color: #000; }

LISTen: The LISNews.org Podcast -- Episode #35
Considering the hurricane situation in the Gulf of Mexico as well as the normal slow-down to news at this time, this week's episode has no interviews to it. A new installment of Tech for Techies is presented relative to interviewing for podcasts and gives some advice for librarians and teacher-librarians who may be involved in such. The program's engineer presented a brief bit about BlogWorldExpo 2008 (e-mail about that can be sent too). A commentary is also presented.
If you want to learn more about the situation with Hurricane Gustav, you can add this URL to your podcatcher to receive audio reports directly from the National Hurricane Center: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/audio/index_podcast.xml. As of the time of posting, updates were being issued regularly by the National Hurricane Center. An expanded listing of resource links can be found at LISNews here.
As an experiment in light of recent discussion, a transcript of this episode is available for purchase. The options exist to secure copies in either print form or electronic form. Pricing was intentionally kept on par, to the extent possible, with that asked by programs hosted by Oprah and Dr. Phil. This is a test to see if there is sufficient interest to back future transcript efforts as such involves diverting time and resources from other efforts.

Dear Beloved,
Greetings!! I am Mrs. Susan Zuma, a widow of 73 years, suffering from cancer of the breast, My husband and my only son were killed during the UK terrorist Attack.
My condition is serious and according to my doctor, he said it is obvious that I may not survive. I have some funds that my late husband WILLED to me in cash; the sum of $2,500,000.00 United States of American Dollars. I packaged it and deposited it with Bank in London.
After my prayers, I searched the internet, I found your email address and I decided to contact you for the usage of the funds in your Ministry.
Therefore, child of God, if you are honest and faithful enough to use this fund strictly for the work, your response will be highly appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Susan Zuma.

By the time he was 19, he went to have it checked out, but the doctors said there was nothing wrong with him. A few years later, his intestinal pain was getting almost unbearable, and in 2009, at the age of 23, Richmond was admitted to Korle Bu Hospital, a prominent hospital in Ghana (in Western Africa). There, at the Korle Bu Hospital, his condition worsened.
The surgery had to be delayed. When he finally could have surgery, a doctor told him that everyone his age who got that surgery did not survive. He wanted to get the surgery anyway because he was in extreme pain. During the surgery, his spirit left his body and was taken to Heaven. What Richmond experiences there will open your eyes. (See Joel 2:28.)
This is based on the video series posted up on YouTube by Kay Boachie on Dec. 15, 2011. Kay translated Richmond's original testimony which was posted on YouTube by "kobina ofosu" on June 19, 2011. I have tried my best to be as accurate as possible to Kay's translation, but I am not perfect (see Works Cited at the end). Thank you for reading. [I will be posting up a condensed version soon.]

(1) The Critical Condition
Richmond Gyimah (who was 23 in 2009) was born in Ghana. In 2009, Richmond was sick and admitted to a hospital and placed in a surgical ward, ward 5. He went into surgery on March 9, 2009.
Richmond's grandmother had told him that his stomach ached a lot when he as a kid. He had persistent stomach pain since then. In 2008, Richmond went to a hospital to diagnose his stomach problem which had only gotten worse. When he told them his condition, the doctors had laughed and said there was no problem. He left that hospital and went to the Korle Bu Hospital. At Korle Bu, they did tests and found that some of the cells in his large intestine were dead even since he was young.
When he was 19 (and during his early twenties), he was constipated, and at times could not go to the bathroom. The doctors at Korle Bu Hospital confirmed that what he said was true after doing some tests.
In 2009, Richmond found himself in the emergency ward of the Korle Bu Hospital with IV drips. Later, his grandmother told Richmond that someone had found him lying on the floor, weak and unable to move. They had rushed Richmond to the Hospital emergency ward.

The doctors gave him a date for surgery after checking him. When the date came for the surgery came, he was told that the elevator was not working. He was on the 5th floor and needed to go to the 1st floor for the surgery. They had to reschedule him. They ran further lab tests. Other problems came up and they had to reschedule his surgery. He started praying.
Richmond told his audience that he is a Christian. He knew that God had to intervene. He began to trust in God and pray. He knew that only God could help him.
That night (the night he began to pray fervently) the hospital staff brought in a man and put him in a bed close to him. Later that night, the man died. A doctor turned to Richmond and said, "You see, we doctors are not God." The words echoed in his mind and Richmond knew more than ever that he had to put his trust completely in God, and not in the doctors. His situation was very complicated and worrisome to him. As he waited for the date of the surgery, Richmond noticed that most of the people brought in ended up dying.
He was afraid where his eternal destination would be. He knew about Heaven and Hell. Richmond decided to trust God completely and for the whole surgery procedure.
The Surgery
On the day of the surgery, Richmond saw a lot of people being taken in for surgery. Seeing the death and physical problems before his eyes, Richmond felt grieved. He was sad to see so many people with these medical problems. He said (on the YouTube video) that you should be very grateful for your good health, if God has given that to you. A lot of people wish they were in good health.
Though he suffered from pain, he was the last one they would operate on because his condition was complicated. He had to wait for the others to be done with their surgery. Just when his turn came, there was another delay. Someone else came for surgery and was brought into surgery right away. He wondered why there were so many delays. Richmond said, "God knew exactly what He was doing." The man who went ahead of Richmond died during the surgery.
They gave him anesthesia. A problem came up before the surgery procedure started. A doctor came to him and said, "Young man, this sickness that you have brought here--before you go through the surgery you have to weigh your chances of survival because no one with this kind of condition at your age has ever survived this kind of surgery. I have an advice for you: just turn up and go home with this problem."
This was very discouraging. Now, the doctor is telling him this bad news. When he heard this, he laughed but also panicked at the same time. The doctor gave him some facts to show him that he would not survive the surgery. Richmond said he is a Christian and has faith and hope in the Lord.
After 3 hours, Richmond began to feel severe pain in his heart, even though he had anesthesia. They insisted he could not feel pain in his heart because of the anesthesia.
(2) The Visit to Heaven
(God has revealed the things of God to us by His Spirit. See 1 Corinthians 2:9-16. See also Joel 2:28.)
Suddenly, he arrived at a place…a very beautiful garden. The garden was filled with flowers and trees and a paved path. As he walked down the path, suddenly a very tall being appeared before him. Richmond was very afraid. The being asked him what he was doing here. Richmond told him that he was in a hospital and that now he was in this beautiful place.
The Altar
The tall being introduced himself to Richmond as an angel of God. He said it was not a mistake for Richmond to find himself in this garden. The angel held his hand and took him through the garden to another place. They came across an altar of sacrifice on the way. As they went on, they found another altar and then another. The third altar had fresh blood all over it as if they had just sacrificed an animal on it.
"I knew from then that there is an ultimate indeed an ultimate power in this universe." (Part 4, 7:00). "We have an ultimate or a sovereign power in this world which is above or which exceeds all other powers." (Part 4, 7:09). "Because, I knew that ordinary blood, once it is shed and once air blows on it, it dries up or clots in no time. But the precious blood of Jesus Christ, even though it had been shed 2,000 years ago, is still fresh. It's made me know that God is indeed God and God is the all-powerful or has the ultimate power in this world."
The angel of the Lord told him to hurry up because there was little time and he had a lot of things to show Richmond in Heaven. The angel of the Lord brought Richmond to another place where he saw a very large house which was made of glass. He saw a lot of people who were wearing white clothes which were all identical. They were very happy.
"In the same place, I lifted up my head and I saw two thrones…they were both occupied. I asked the angel of the Lord, 'Who was sitting on both thrones?' He said to me, 'The first one you see is Abraham. He's the one sitting on that throne. And, the second one you see is…Moses who is also sitting on that…throne.'" (Part 4, 9:22.)
Richmond asked the angel if he was permitted to talk to anyone in that place. Richmond wanted to talk to the people who he described as joyous. The angel gave him permission.
Before he talked to the people, he asked the angel for the name of the place he was now at. The angel said, "Here is Paradise." (Part 4, 9:55.)
The angel told him that this place is for those who "died in the Lord Jesus Christ" and: "This is the place where their souls come." (Part 4, 10:11).
|(Picture for illustration purposes. Source.)
In answer to a question posed by his interview, Richmond told the interviewer (in the YouTube video) that he did not see anyone he knew in Paradise.
The angel of the Lord told Richmond that they needed to hurry up and move on because he had other things to show Richmond. Richmond's tour guide led him down a road.
The Three Groups of Angels
He saw a group of angels, with serious expressions, picking up things from the ground and putting them into a sack or bag. Once it was full, they lifted the bag up and took it in the same direction Richmond's guide was leading him.
Richmond asked the angel, "Where are we going?" (Part 5, 5:25). The angel told him he would find out when they got there. Richmond cannot describe exactly what the angels were doing and why they were picking up things and putting them into bags to take away because he had never seen anything like it before.
The second group of angels, he came across on the road, was bringing things from the place Richmond and his guide were going to and was taking these things to the place Richmond and his guide had just left.
A little later, Richmond and his guide came across a third group of angels. A few of the angels were working, but the majority of them were sitting around, doing nothing. He asked the angel of the Lord why (1) the first group was serious and busy picking up things to take away; (2) why the second group was busy taking things back; and (3) why the third group of angels was divided between busy angels and idle angels.
The angel explained that the first group of angels was gathering the prayers of the righteous believers. These prayers had arrived in Heaven from Earth. The second group of angels was taking the answers, from God, to the prayer requests and bringing them to the righteous believers who had been praying.
The third group of angels had the responsibility of gathering the thanksgiving and praise to God from the Earth. The angels who were idle had nothing to do because many saints (or Christians) in the Earth were not giving thanks and praise to God. The few angels who were working gathered the comparatively small amount of praise and thanksgiving that some of the saints had given to God.
Richmond said: "…Angels sit idle when no thanksgiving is being rendered to God." (Part 5, 11:50).
As Richmond and his guide went along, they came upon an indescribably beautiful place. He saw that everything increased in beauty as he and the angel got closer to the place the angel was leading him to.
The Royal Palace
At last, they arrived at a huge, beautiful building with an inscription on it: "The Royal Palace" (Part 6, 1:04).
They entered the building and saw a person sitting on a white throne. Richmond asked the angel who he was. "The angel of the Lord told me that this is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of mankind. He is the one who is sitting on the throne."
After the angel told him that, Richmond said, "Jesus Christ". "When I mentioned the name Jesus Christ, suddenly, immediately they all bowed down to worship—all the angels bowed down, and they began to worship." (Part 6, 2:04).
When he asked his angel guide why the angels all bowed down, he said, "It is because of the name, Jesus Christ. When we heard it, we had to bow down to that name." (Part 6, 2:25).
Richmond quotes from Philippians 2:10-11.
Philippians 2:10-12
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Richmond saw the angels bow before the throne of Jesus Christ, the Lamb. He looked at Jesus Christ's face and saw light radiating out from it. His face was full of glory. Richmond wanted to walk toward Jesus and spend more time in the Royal Palace with Jesus, but the angel told him he had other things to show Richmond and that the time was running short.
He also saw the 24 elders worshipping Jesus Christ, praising Him. Each elder took his turn to bow prostrate before the throne. When each did, he set his crown on the floor and praised God with his face to the floor. He was there for some time before he stood up and rejoined the other elders. Then, the next elder would take his turn. This continued for all the elders as they praised God, the Lord Jesus Christ.
"It was in this place that … I got to know what true worship is all about. I really saw true worship, great worship being done by these elders in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ. That is where I learned what true worship is all about." (Part 6, 6:50).
The angel told Richmond they had to hurry up because he had other things to show him. The angel brought Richmond to another place. It was a building with a door. No one was allowed to enter through that door, but Richmond and the angel had been given special permission, that time, to enter.
(3) The Visit to Hell
When they had passed through the door, Richmond realized they were descending down into the ground. [Based on what happens next, we know that Richmond and the angel had left Heaven and now they were headed toward a new destination, far away from Heaven.]
(For scripture about Hell, please click here.)
Richmond says that the place they were in [likely a tunnel] was very, very dark. "I've never seen such darkness in all my life before." (Part 7, 1:32). "The place was very dark. We kept on moving on. Then, I began to feel heat coming from the place." (Part 7, 1:42).
He began to smell "something awful" coming from the place far below him that he and the angel were heading toward. When he asked the angel about it, the angel told him he would find out when they arrived.
"As we went toward this place, I began to hear screaming and crying…coming from the place. I became very afraid. When we got closer, I saw fire all over the place." (Part 7, 2:25).
He saw fire everywhere and people crying out loud and screaming. He describes the fire as "consuming fire" (Part 7, 2:50).
He saw a woman in a cage. The woman was crying out for mercy, "but no mercy was granted to that person." (Part 7, 3:10). After crying awhile, the woman started cursing God. A demon picked her up and threw her against the wall and she continued to cry and scream and curse God.
Richmond said that there is no mercy in Hell.
Richmond Reveals a Shocking Truth: He Saw Pastors in Hell
Richmond said: "I also saw pastors in Hell and they were also, likewise crying out." (Part 7, 4:20).
(A Christian can turn away from God. See Revelation 21:7-8, Hebrews 3, Hebrews 10:25-31, Luke 16:13-15, Mark 9:42-50, Revelation 3:5, Matthew 13:1-23, John 15:1-7, 2 John, Ezekiel 33:13, Romans 8:13)
When Richmond asked the angel guide why pastors were in Hell, the angel told him that the pastors who were in Hell "did not rely in the power of the Holy Spirit, the power of God, when they were doing ministry on Earth. They were rather relying on occultic powers for their church and for their ministry. They were not genuine pastors. They did not use the power of God. They were using occultic powers in their ministry." (Part 7, 4:20).
|(Hot Lava. Hellfire is very hot and it is never put out. Mark 9:43.)
Richmond will describe four groups of pastors he saw in Hell and what their exact sins were that brought them there.
The angel of the Lord explained to Richmond why the pastors were in Hell.
There were several different groups of pastors in Hell.
The first group he saw was comprised of pastors who had slept with women from their churches. They had fornicated and committing adultery with women from their churches and when they died, they found themselves in Hell. Their screams and cries filled Richmond's ears.
There were several different groups of pastors in Hell.
The first group he saw was comprised of pastors who had slept with women from their churches. They had fornicated and committing adultery with women from their churches and when they died, they found themselves in Hell. Their screams and cries filled Richmond's ears.
The second group was made of pastors who did miracles, signs, and wonders. This was not by the power of the Holy Spirit, but by occultic power, the power of demons. They had chosen the power of the devil instead of the power of God to do so-called "miracles". They had sold their soul to the devil and had turned away from God.
The third group was composed of pastors who were murderers. They were in Hell because they had killed people, shedding innocent blood.
The fourth group of pastors loved money. Richmond said that God did not call them into the ministry. He said they did not know God and that they were in the ministry to make money.
"And, they were using the name of our Lord Jesus Christ for material gain: they were lovers of money." (Part 8, 8:21).
Because money was their god, they are in Hell.
Richmond said: "Beloved, I was very sad when the angel showed me all these pastors in Hell…" (Part 8, 8:45).
As they went further, Richmond sees what he compares to a sea or an ocean of fire. It covered the people. "I could hear screaming and crying." (Part 8, 9:05).
He began to feel some of the heat. "It was very hot in that place." (Part 8, 9:20). Richmond told the angel of the Lord that he wanted to "get back" because he "could not stand the heat anymore." (Part 8, 9:34).
The angel took him by the hand and they ascended back up the same way they had come and arrived in Heaven.
(4) Back in Heaven
They arrived at the place where the elders were worshiping Jesus Christ. There Richmond heard a loud voice saying, "The time is set. The time is set. The time is set." (Part 9, 0:12). Then, another voice said, "The Blood. The Blood. The Blood…"
"The angel of the Lord now took me to a window, and behind the window was an altar with blood on it: an altar of sacrifice. And on that altar … I saw blood on this altar of sacrifice." (Part 9, 0:12).
Richmond said that God wants to come back to the Earth "to destroy the Earth because people are not repenting; people are not giving their lives to Jesus Christ; people are not worshiping God. People are thinking that everything is a fairy tale and they are just living their lives anyhow. They are not repenting and they are not turning to God." (Part 9, 0:12).
Richmond said that the only reason God has not come yet to judge the Earth is because "the blood of Jesus Christ is still pleading and begging God for mankind." (Part 9, 2:19).
"God's time is set already to come for His bride, but the blood of Jesus Christ is still pleading for mankind. Because, if God is to come [now], a lot of people are not ready. People are not repenting. People are not turning to God. People are not living for God. People are not worshiping God in truth and in Spirit." (Part 9, 3:00).
Richmond said that the only reason God has not come for his Bride and to judge and destroy the earth is that the blood of Jesus Christ is still pleading for the lost (including those who call themselves Christians who don't know God's name).
The angel told Richmond that God was giving him a second chance. Richmond was to tell people what he had seen and what he had heard. He was told to tell people that "the time is up, the time is up, and that Heaven is real, ... and Jesus Christ is alive, and the blood of Jesus Christ is still speaking." (Part 9, 5:00).
(5) Richmond Gyimah Heads Backs to Earth
|(The Bible is TRUE. See image source.)
On Earth again, Richmond's body was still getting worse. Even so, he knew that he was going to be well and get out of the hospital, by God's grace. Just as the angel had told him, God returned him to good health and he was able to share his amazing testimony of life after death.
Richmond said this to his audience: "Now, this is what I'd like to tell you viewers and also hearers. I want you to know that whatever the Bible has said or whatever the Bible is saying is true. Whatever the Word of God, the Bible, has said, it is true. I want you to also know that man cannot help you. Man cannot help you. Only God can help you. If you put your trust in man, he fails you. Only God can really help you. You cannot put your confidence or your trust in man. Only God can really help you. I also want you to know that we are living in extra time. We are living in extra time." (Part 9, 8:51).
Richmond explains that the only thing keeping God from coming to take His bride and destroy the Earth is the blood of Jesus Christ, which is pleading for mercy so that the lost could be saved.
Richmond said, "…If you are to die today, where would you find your eternity?" (Part 9, 11:08).
If you were to die tomorrow, where would go?
Heaven or Hell?
Good works cannot save us. James 2:10 says: "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all."
No one is without sin but Jesus Christ. Romans 3:23 says: "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Let's keep reading Romans 3.
Romans 3:24-26 (bold / underline added)
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Verse 24 of Romans 3 says that we are justified (or cleansed) by God's grace which comes through what Jesus Christ did for us on the cross to redeem us (if we believe and make Him our personal Savior and Lord).
Jesus Christ (in verse 25) is our propitiation (He takes our place) when we have faith that His blood will "cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (see 1 John 1:9). Jesus Christ gives us "remission of sins" which means that our sins are taken away from us. The debt of sin is canceled because Jesus Christ has paid it in full.
For this debt of sin to be canceled, you must make a personal choice whether or not you will believe in Jesus Christ that He is God the Son who came as both God and man and that He died on a cross for your all your sins, shedding his blood one time to pay for them (see John 3:16, 1 Timothy 2:5, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, and Hebrews 10:10).
He rose from the dead on the third day to show he conquered death (1 Cor. 15:4). Once you believe this you must act in faith and make Jesus Christ both your Lord and Savior (Romans 10:9-10, Hebrews 10:38, Ephesians 3:14, 2 Peter 3:18). When He is your Lord, you will seek to obey Him and get to know Him personally (John 10:14). God wants us to repent from sin (Acts 3:19). We cannot truthfully call Jesus our Lord if we are in disobedience and rebellion to Him.
IF YOU ARE SEEKING TO KNOW GOD, please read this message.
God loves us so much that He sent His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins and shed His precious blood to pay for all of these sins. (See John 3:16 and 1 Corinthians 15:3-5.)
If you repent (turn away) from your sins (Acts 3:19), and believe and confess aloud that Christ has done this for you (Romans 10:9-10), and have made Him your Lord and Savior (again Romans 10:9-10) you are saved.
Now seek God with all your heart. Seek to know Him and you will (Jeremiah 29:13).
John 17:3 says: "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."
Jeremiah 29:13: "And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart."
John 14:6: "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
1 Timothy 2:5: "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;"
Acts 4:12: "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."
