Being in Fellowship.
Looking at the Bible, God's Word – we are never described as an object – we are described in a relational manner, being in a relationship.
In relation to God the Father we are called His children. In relation to Yeshua the Messiah we are called His bride, His friends, His brother and sisters and we are called His servants. Prayer is the means by which we keep the mentioned relationship in tack, prayer is not just an act of worship, prayer is a relationship expressed in words. (Read Psalm 119)
When Yeshua said unto the disciples do not pray like the gentiles, He referred to the gentles knowing that they do not know to whom (relationship) they pray. He said to the Samaritan woman John 4:22-24 You people don't know what you are worshipping; we worship what we do know, because salvation comes from the Jews But the time is coming- indeed, it's here now- when the true worshippers will worship the Father spiritually and truly, for these are the kind of people the Father wants worshipping him. God is spirit; and worshippers must worship him spiritually and truly. "
Likewise when Yeshua said in Mathews 7:21-23 He referred to a relationship. "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, only those who do what my Father in heaven wants. On that Day, many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord! Didn't we prophesy in your name? Didn't we expel demons in your name? Didn't we perform many miracles in your name?' Then I will tell them to their faces, 'I never knew you! Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness!
What then is prayer? The Greek understanding of prayer was to strike a bargain with one of their idols! But Yeshua said unto His disciples pray not like the Greeks/gentiles who think that by their many words they will receive something. Prayer to the Greeks/heathens was a means of obtaining something from an idol. An idol was there for the use of the man, and there was no relationship involved just a means. But true prayer in the Biblical sense is to judge oneself in the sight of God, becoming aware of who God is. True prayer is therefore not to convince God to go our way, but to be convinced by God as our Father to go His way. Yeshua did not reason with His Father in Gethsemane, He opened His heart to a loving Father in simple surrender to His Fathers will, as we said true prayer is not to persuade God to do something, it is to be persuaded by God to do His will. (Like a father and a son, when the son wants to do something and the father know what is best, it is a dual conversation)
The starting point of understanding prayer is the knowledge of who God is, and our relationship to God as a loving Father. Prayer is not so much about us as it is about God and the establishment of His Kingdom, and we being instrumental in it – Looking at what Yeshua said we are labourers in God's vineyard – we have only one objective and that is to be a good and faithful son/daughter. As children in the likeness of Yeshua the Messiah, there is but one objective and that is to please our Father, and as friends of our Lord we walk in obedience as ambassadors for the Kingdom of our Father as we pray for our lost brothers and sisters to be reconciled through Yeshua to our loving Father.
What happened at the cross of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, had an direct impact on our relationship to our Father, and to our fellowship with Him. We have been granted the privilege to enter into the very presence of God as our Father in the new Living Way, Yeshua the Messiah. The Bible say that in Messiah we have been recreated so that as we abide in Him we become children of God, in the knowledge that God as our Father had a plan from the beginning for us to bring in fulfilment to the glory of His name.
When Yeshua said that our Father know what we need, it is based on the relationship and our Fathers plan, likewise the indication that we do not receive because we do not ask is based on the lack of relationship. The Father knows what we need but give as we come into relationship with Him.
Looking through scripture we can see several images to describe the spirit of fellowship and togetherness as a family in Messiah. The first is "the household of God" (Ephesians 2:19; 1 Timothy 3:15), or "the household of faith" (Galatians 6:10). In God's household, love and hospitality are to be the rule (Hebrews 13:1-2). Further, the church is depicted as the family of God on earth (Ephesians 3:15). God is the Father, and believers are his faithful sons and daughters. The life of God's family is to be governed by love, tenderness, compassion, and humility (Philippians 2:1-4). Finally, the Messianic community is represented as the "one new man" or the "one body" (Ephesians 2:15-16). In spite of the great differences in the body, the Holy Spirit binds believers together into a single being (4:4-6). In this fellowship of love, no believer is unnecessary. Each member has been given gifts for the building up of the entire body. The prayer-life of the believers is founded in fellowship, fellowship with our Father and His Son Yeshua the Messiah (1 John 1:3)
Why are we afraid to have fellowship with God, just as Adam and Eve hid from God when they heard him approaching in the garden of Eden. God wanted to be with them, but because of their sin, they were afraid to show themselves. Sin had broken their close relationship with God, just as it has broken ours. But Yeshua, God's Son, opens the way for us to renew our fellowship with him. God longs to be with us. He actively offers us his unconditional love. Our natural response is fear, because we feel we can't live up to his standards. But understanding that he loves us, regardless of our faults, can help remove that fear so that we can start looking at God as a loving Father as we surrender ourself unto Him and His perfect will, regardless of our own inabilities for the Bible say that we have been recreated in Yeshua the Messiah so that through Him we can do the will of our Father.
Thinking about Moses and the Israelites in Exodus 20:18-20 When the people heard the thunder and the loud blast of the ram's horn, and when they saw the flashes of lightning and the smoke billowing from the mountain, they stood at a distance, trembling with fear. And they said to Moses, "You speak to us, and we will listen. But don't let God speak directly to us, or we will die!" "Don't be afraid," Moses answered them, "for God has come in this way to test you, and so that your fear of him will keep you from sinning!"
Therefore we can conclude that prayer is a relationship with the one and only living God and for that reason God gave us His Spirit so that through His Spirit in the Name of the Son Yeshua the Messiah we may enter with boldness into His presence and cry "Abba Father". Not for asking, but to be drawn into the relationship so that we can receive from our loving Father as we open our hearts in His presence, allowing Him to transform us into the image of His Son.

Trump miscasts impact on trade of Chinese taxes
Donald Trump loves to tell voters he's all about getting a better deal for America. It's a theme he invokes repeatedly when it comes to trade.
In a recent interview with two New York Times reporters, Trump called for a different mind set.
"I do know my subject, and I do know that our country cannot continue to do what it's doing," Trump said. "It's very hard for us to do business in China, it's very easy for China to do business with us. Plus with us, there's a tremendous tax that we pay when we go into China, whereas when China sells to us, there's no tax. I mean, it's a whole double standard."
We wondered, is there a hefty tax when American firms sell in China, while there's no tax that Chinese firms face when they sell here?
We asked the Trump campaign for background information on this and didn't hear back.
The trade experts we reached told us there two possible ways to interpret what Trump means by a "tax that we pay when we go into China." He might have meant China's value-added tax, or VAT, or he might have meant China's import tariffs. We'll explore both.
Value Added Tax
This tax is collected at each stage in the production or distribution of a product or service, but with a refund mechanism for VAT paid on purchased units so the final burden falls on the final buyer or consumer. So for example, when a clothing wholesaler sells some shirts to a retailer, the tax is booked on the wholesaler's mark-up. When the retailer sells the shirt to a customer, the tax is booked again. But the retailer gets a credit back for the tax paid by the wholesaler.
China, along with about 160 other countries including Euro Zone members, has a VAT. The United States does not.
China's basic VAT is 17 percent, but some items, such as agricultural products, are not taxed at all, and some products face a lower rate of 13 percent.
So in terms of a VAT, Trump has a point. But it isn't one that has to do with a tax that uniquely raises the price of American goods and services sold in China. By and large, the VAT applies to all sales, regardless of where the product was made. It raises the costs for everybody.
"VAT or not doesn't make much difference," said John Graham, a professor of international business at the UC Irvine Paul Merage School of Business.
An analysis of challenges in U.S.-China trade relations by the Congressional Research Service, the policy think tank of Congress, makes no mention of China's value-added tax.
The Office of U.S. Trade Representative's 2015 report on China does mention China's VAT, but only in the way the government used VAT rebates to reduce costs for Chinese exporters.
"These practices have caused tremendous disruption, uncertainty, and unfairness in the global markets for some products," the report says, especially for products where China is a leading world producer, such as steel, aluminum and soda ash.
While that allows Chinese manufacturers to sell more cheaply overseas, it doesn't make it more expensive for any foreign company to compete for sales in China.
For the record, it is worth putting China's VAT into context. With one exception, countries in the European Union charge a higher rate. Luxembourg's is the same as China's, but Germany's is 19 percent, France's is 20 percent and Italy's is 22 percent.
Tariffs are essentially a tax on imports. On this front, China imposes higher rates than does the United States.
Here's how it breaks down, according to the World Trade Organization:
Agricultural Products
Non-Agricultural Products
US tariffs on Chinese goods sold in the United States
Chinese tariffs on U.S. goods sold in China
There are different ways to summarize tariffs. The table above is adjusted for the volume of trade of different goods in each broad category, but regardless of how you cut it, China has higher tariffs than the United States.
However, Trump said Chinese goods faced no tax in the United States. That's inaccurate. For agricultural goods, the tax is 2.5 percent. For non-agricultural goods, it is 2.9 percent.
"If Trump was referring to tariffs, which are a kind of tax, then it is clearly incorrect that Chinese products come into the U.S. tariff-free," said Joel Trachtman, a trade law specialist at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University.
It's also worth noting that as a member of the World Trade Organization, China treats all importers the same, except if it has a separate free-trade deal. So, all things being equal, every WTO trading partner pays the same import tariff as the United States. China does have a number of free-trade treaties with many Asian countries, plus ones with Australia, Chile and others.
Julia Ya Qin, professor of law at Wayne State University, told us that it's not unusual for the United States to have lower rates than China.
"Industrialized countries generally have lower tariffs than developing countries," Qin said. "Hence, countries such as India, Turkey, Argentina have much higher average tariffs than the United States, the EU, Canada, Japan on industrial products. China is somewhere in between the two groups."
Overall, while the United States and others have had trade disputes with China, they don't hinge on tariffs or taxes.
"Generally, they are not major problems even in most cases worldwide," said Stuart Malawer, professor of law and international trade at George Mason University. Malawer served on the Virginia governor's trade mission to China. "The real problem are non-tariff barriers. China has a significant number of them. These are primarily regulatory."
A leading example on the regulatory side has to do with beef. In 2014, China used food safety rules to block beef imports.
Malawer reviewed the history of trade disputes between the United States and China and told us that tariffs and taxes "are not an issue between the U.S. and China."
Our ruling
Trump said "there's a tremendous tax that we pay when we go into China, whereas when China sells to us, there's no tax." If Trump was thinking of China's value-added tax, he has something of a point. China has a basic VAT of 17 percent, while the United States has none. However, the VAT applies to most goods sold in China, regardless of where they are made. And the VAT affects domestic producers the same as foreign ones.
If Trump was thinking of import tariffs, he has a different problem. Yes, China's tariffs are higher than those imposed by the United States, but the Chinese exporters do face a tax when they sell in this country. So in terms of tariffs, Trump is wrong.
No expert or report we found from impartial sources suggested that taxes of any sort presented a challenge to American firms that sell in China. There are problems, but they stem from other things China does.
Whatever tax or tariff Trump had in mind, he either exaggerated the impact on trade or got the U.S. rate wrong. We rate this claim Mostly False.

When it comes to home security, all systems are not created equally. Homeowners are more focused now than ever before on keeping their property and families safe from harm. One of the best ways to do this is to install a reliable home security system. With so many options available in Chatham, MS, it can be difficult to find the system that best suits the unique needs and preferences of each homeowner.
Luckily, Wirefly has thoroughly researched the top home security systems in Chatham, MS. This included discussions with field and industry experts in the home security arena. It also included conducting surveys and polling customers that have used many of these systems. Collectively, this research has enabled Wirefly to create the most accurate and up-to-date information available. To help consumers find the right alarm company for them, here is a comparison of the best home security systems.
Home security providers are abundant in Chatham, MS, and each one has its own plans, functions, benefits, and costs. Regardless of your particular needs, you can rest assured that there's a suitable system out there for your house. Setup costs, hardware, and recurring surveillance fees are the three primary factors in calculating the full expense of your house's alarm system. Having your system professionally installed could cost you as much as a couple hundred dollars, but you can install a lot of security systems yourself. A standard security system typically costs well over $200, but if you enroll in a monthly surveillance service, some companies will provide you with a system for free. With regard to surveillance services, subject to which features you need, you'll most likely pay somewhere between $15 and over $200 each month.
Revolutions come in waves, and one hit the home security system industry like a tidal wave with new wireless technology. Residents in Chatham, MS now have the opportunity to have state-of-the-art technology installed in their homes.
Some homeowners might be afraid that a professional will come to their home and drill numerous holes in their walls to install this new system, but that is not necessary. One of the perks of the wireless home security system is that there is no need for holes or wires to connect to the security panel. The components in this system have no wires and can be moved without affecting their signal. This is possible because wireless systems now communicate via cellular signals that allow the panel to keep tabs on the entire home without a single wire. Most homeowners love the fact that burglars cannot debilitate the landline or power lines to disable the home security system.
Some home security systems in Chatham, MS can be tailored to the specific needs of the homeowner. Of course, the best type of security system is the one that can be easily modified to ensure that the homeowner gets exactly what he or she needs. One thing that can be modified is the kind of camera used within the system. For example, there is a difference between interior cameras and exterior cameras. Exterior cameras often come with night vision properties and are usually weatherproof. Wireless technology also allows these cameras to be accessed remotely. This can be done through the use of a smart device, where an application can be downloaded to monitor the homeowner's home using his or her smart device. Homeowners can get alerts when the motion-sensor cameras have been activated. The homeowner can access footage or watch the interior or exterior of the house whenever he or she wants.
What used to be the stuff of science fiction is now part of everyday life. Now you can lock your doors, turn off the stove, or control the thermostat from anywhere in the world. You can even set up notifications, either via email or text message, to let you know when your loved enter or leave the home and when an uninvited guest is attempting to get into the house. Technology allows you to control certain functions in your home from any device that is connected to the internet, whether you're sitting on your sofa or on a plane to Hawaii. Modern security systems allow you to secure your Chatham, MS in seconds, no matter where you are in the world.

(C) Wendy Anne Clark, 2017
So another birthday has come and gone, and it feels again like an opportunity to stop and reflect and ponder and philosophize about life. And so I will.
What makes up a life? What makes up my life?
Is it how many times my heart beats or the number of breaths I take? How much I weigh and how tall I am?
Does it matter that I know the difference between "way" and "weigh"?
My physical body doesn't make up my life, but it is a part of my life, and there have been times when my physical body has taken center stage in my life: When I was in grade school and was the tallest kid in my class. During adolescence. When I was just starting junior high school and people thought I was in high school. Gaining weight, losing weight, and then gaining it back again, and then losing it, etc., etc., etc. During pregnancy. When I had cancer. Recovering from cancer. A really bad hair day. But most of the time my life is so much more than my body.
How would I describe my life?
I'm not an important person in the way the world defines it—someone to be written of and recorded in history for people to know of well into the future. But I am important to certain people—and there are people who are important to me. That's at least a part of my life.
If someone were to describe my life from the outside, he or she would get it wrong because so much of my life happens inside of me, from my own view of the world. And there is so much I've never told anyone.
When I was in kindergarten, I went to a private school where they still gave spankings for being naughty. Really bad behavior would earn a trip to the wood shed for a serious spanking. I never got one of those, but I did get a spanking.
We were painting at easels. Wayne Drake was teasing me, and I teased him back. The teacher grabbed me, just me and not Wayne. I explained that we were playing. She scolded me and pulled me up in front of the room and said something about teaching me and the whole class a lesson. I didn't understand why she was angry with me. We were just playing. And why wasn't she angry with Wayne when he was playing too? She spanked me in front of the class. I was confused and embarrassed and hurt and angry. Very angry. I've had to forgive her several times over the years and let go of that anger.
I had to stop here and forgive her once again.
That experience stirred up in my little 5-year-old heart a strong sense of justice and of a right way and a wrong way to do something and a recognition that people in authority don't always get it right. I also chose to forgive that teacher because even then I understood that forgiveness is the right thing to do. Now I understand that it is very important for who I am and who I am becoming–always.
If I'd made a different choice or if I'd had a different teacher, how might I be a different person?
That experience is a part of my life and who I am because it shaped my view of the world a very long time ago, but that is not a story that I tell to many people, and I don't even think about it very often. My life is made up of a gadzillion of those stories.
There are some details of my life that others would recount incorrectly because I withheld information, on purpose.
One of my sisters thinks that she convinced me to give my daughter the name Haley. What she doesn't know is that I've known since I was 13 that I wanted to have a girl and name her Haley—after Hayley Mills. I wrote that in my journal, and I kept that to myself because I didn't want anyone else to use that name.
When I was pregnant with my daughter and people would ask me what I was going to name her, I would toss out outrageous names with a perfectly straight face and watch for the reactions. One that I threw around was "Hedra." "Then I could call her 'Heddy,' "I explained, "like Heddy Lamarr." My sister told me that name was "horrendous" (She was right.) One friend wisely observed, "Not everyone knows who Heddy Lamarr is."
Ironically, before my daughter was born, a popular soap opera named a character "Haley," and, just like that the name was back in the books as a popular baby name. I beat the rush by just a hair, and most girls named "Haley" that I've met are a little bit younger than my daughter.
So people from the outside looking in might not know the details of my life simply because I kept the details to myself, for one reason or another. They are observing my life from their own side of the fence, and it's a limited view.
In the same way, so much of recorded history has gotten it wrong about those people we consider important and worth remembering in books and files and documentaries. No matter how well the person was known, there was so much that no one ever knew.
That seems right somehow.
If I were to write about my life, would I give you a list of the major, most important, life- changing events? And would the events that shaped my life all be large and earth shattering or would many of them be like a single day back when I was in kindergarten, a day that the teacher herself probably wouldn't even remember?
My life is made up of my experiences and my responses to those experiences, of my thoughts and feelings, of my choices and the reasons I made them. It's made up of the things I'm curious about, the things I'm learning, and the things I know and understand. It's also defined by all of the things I don't know and have never experienced and have never been interested in. It's made up of the people I've met, the ones I've invested time and energy into, those I've grown closer to, and those I've grown apart from. It's made up of the things that I like to do and the way I choose to spend my time. The things that make me laugh and the things that make me cry.
It's complicated.
And from this side of the fence this past year has been . . busy and fun and strange and exciting and challenging and unexpected and educational and full of love and laughter and joy and peace and thankfulness.
And that's my life.
My Life

One look at the athletics road racing calendar and you immediately know which season we are in. Spring brings the first opportunities for many to run the longer races with marathons and half marathons a plenty on the agenda and last week saw Linlithgow athletes heading off in opposite directions to their respective half marathons courses.
First up was the Balloch to Clydebank half and representing the club was Charly Fortune. This being a point to point race the runners head largely in the same direction for the entirety of the race and in this case it was into the wind and rain all the way. Still, that didn't hold back Charly who completed the course in an admirable 1:27:00 making her the 9th female finisher. Charly is running really well this year and was pleased that she managed to take a couple of scalps from girls that have beaten her in the past.
There was a large turnout at the Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon in Edinburgh, with runners refusing to allow their spirits to be dampened by the weather. At times it was more of a case of Wind 'n' Rain than Rock 'n' Roll however there were brief moments of beauty as rainbows appeared in the sky to lift everyone's spirits. The first hurdle was merely disrobing as the weather began to challenge the runners. At times the wind and course contrived to make conditions challenging to say the least, however the wind would provide assistance at some points and for all the uphills there had to be some downs too. Local bands and DJs are spread out at mile intervals along the course to inspire the runners and encourage spectators to come out and cheer them on too. Aided by this, Mark Anderson returned a time of 1:44:27, with Jennifer Buckl Newton (1:56:24) and Hilary Stocks (1:57:17) not far behind.
At Strathclyde parkrun this week, David Marshall was 5th in 18:10 (PB) with Alison Marshall in 91st (14th female) in 25:38. Andrew Fischbacher ran at the Edinburgh event and finished in 16th place in a time of 18:00.

Key Information
Swimming Curriculum
SWIMMING CURRICULUM 2016-17.pdf
For Reception children there is always one adult poolside and two adults in the water, a ratio of 1:5 at all times (only 15 children swim at a time). The ASA guidelines for beginners, non-swimmers and young children when swimming in school are a ratio of 1:12 for health and safety and 1:8 for quality of delivery, therefore our ratios at 1:5 are significantly better than this.
Parents do not need to come and help with changing but please encourage your child to be able to do as much as possible themselves.
The children have back floats and woggles, they can have arm rings too if they wish them, these are all provided in school.
Reception children only ever swim at the shallow end until they are ready to go deeper, the deep end is roped off.
If you wish your child to wear goggles, please equip them with a named pair.
It is optional for the children to put their head in the water.
The pool is 90cm at the shallow end and 95cm at the deep end.
The children need to wear a swimming hat, these can be purchased from the school office at £2.50.
In their first lesson the children will learn about how to stay safe in the swimming pool environment including the pool rules and the emergency evacuation procedure. They will be taught how to enter the pool safely and play a few games with flotation aids on.
We are very proud to be offering swimming to our pupils each year; many parents choose St. Mark's because of this facility. Our children become very good swimmers and in the top years of the school they win many trophies and medals for their achievements, which we are very proud of.

RBA cash rate target announcement – May 2015
RBA reduces the official cash rate to a new low of 2.00%.
Last updated:
As Australia has recently experienced below trend growth and relatively high unemployment, the Reserve Bank of Australia decided to reduce the cash rate by 25 basis points at today's board meeting.
The finder.com.au Reserve Bank Survey found that 53 per cent of the 34 leading experts forecast the cash rate to hold today. Whereas 47 per cent of the survey participants accurately anticipated a cut, including industry specialists from the Commonwealth Bank and Westpac.
While just six of these industry experts are predicting a further cut to the cash rate later this year, 63 per cent believe interest rates will start rising from as early as February 2016.
What triggered the RBA to cut rates?
The Reserve Bank's decision to ease monetary policy was made with the objective of fostering sustainable growth in demand and maintaining inflation within target.
This lowering of the cash rate has been a result of below-trend growth, high national unemployment and weak domestic demand.
With a high Australian dollar, few inflationary pressures and plummeting commodity prices, the Reserve Bank opted to slash the official cash rate to 2.00%.
By lowering the official cost of borrowing, the Reserve Bank hopes to bolster consumer and business confidence. That is, lower rates will mean that households have lower mortgage repayments which they hope will bolster consumer spending.
Future Interest Rate Hikes
Despite today's decision, finder.com.au money expert Michelle Hutchison, says borrowers should start preparing for future interest rate hikes.
"While most borrowers who have a variable rate home loan will be rejoicing in saving about $47 per month for an average $300,000 home loan from today's rate cut announcement, it looks like the party is over for more rate drops."
"Interest rate hikes are right around the corner. If you're not preparing now for higher costs, you could end up in financial trouble from next year."
The finder.com.au Reserve Bank Survey found that the cash rate is forecast to rise to 4 per cent, meaning that variable home loan interest rates will average at around 7.10 per cent. This could have serious implications for mortgage repayments, with some borrowers paying up to $341 extra each month for an average $300 000 loan.
Mrs Hutchison wants borrowers to prepare for these future rate increases now by making more informed decisions and doing their due diligence: "There would be a lot of borrowers who are not factoring in this higher cost and will need to start preparing now to ensure they won't be under unnecessary pressure from next year by comparing home loans, asking their lender for a discount, switching to a cheaper deal and making fortnightly or weekly repayments rather than monthly."
How will the cut affect my finances?
When the Reserve Bank drops the official cash rate, this makes it more affordable for them to borrow money, meaning that they can lend out money at a cheaper rate. In effect, this means that you can borrow more, or spend less of your income on your home loan.
- Home owners: If the rate cut is passed on by your lender, you may see your mortgage repayments fall. On a variable loan of $300 000 over 30 years, with a rate of 5.9% p.a., a 0.25% rate cut could see your repayments decrease by approximately $47 each month.
- Home buyers: A rate cut can affect you in various ways if you're a home buyer. As rates are lower, the cost of a home loan when you find a property will be lower. However, a cut in the official rate can see a rise in demand as many choose to enter the property market as housing is more affordable. This can increase competition which can make it difficult for you to secure your property.
- Savers: Interest rates are a major incentive to open a savings account as this contributes to the value of your savings over time. Unfortunately, reductions in the interest rate will decrease the amount you earn with term deposits and standard savings accounts.
- Investors: Bondholders will be negatively affected by interest rate cuts as it means the value of their long term investment is less, which will reduce their return on investment.

How will the rate cut affect my mortgage repayments?
You can use our calculator to estimate how much your loan repayments may change after the official rate cut.
Simply enter the details of your loan, and you'll see how the rate cut will affect your monthly repayments.

Iceland is a fascinating country from a climate change perspective. It sits on top of a constructive plate margin between the European and North American tectonic plates. This makes it volcanically active, the emissions from which helped create the earths early atmosphere. This geothermal activity also gives Iceland an advantage when it comes to renewable energy. It is the first country in the world to generate all its electricity from renewable energy, 70% from hydro power and 30% from geothermal. As well as generating electricity the geothermal also provides boundless supplies of hot water for household and industrial space heating, helping to cut down enormously on peoples household carbon footprint. Pipes fed with geothermal heated water even keep the pavements of Reykjavik snow and ice free in winter. Not satisfied with 100% renewable electricity, Iceland woulds like to cut down on its use of imported oil for its cars and boats and is experimenting with moving to a hydrogen economy. They are using the excess renewable electricity generation to split water into its constituent parts to create the hydrogen. Pilot projects have seen hydrogen powered bus on the streets of Reykjavik. There is even a hydrogen filling station for the increasing number of hydrogen cars.

Fundamental Movement Skills - Additional Information
For more information about a workshop in your area, please contact your local Provincial/Territorial Coaching Representative directly, or click the link below.
"Physical literacy is the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge, and understanding to value and take responsibility for engagement in physical activities for life."
- International Physical Literacy Association, May 2014
Fundamental movement skills are a key component of helping participants to be physically literate at any age. When leaders help participants competently develop fundamental movement skills, the participants will gain increased confidence and motivation, and take more responsibility to be physically active for life.
The NCCP Fundamental Movement Skills Workshop, presented by TeamSnap, is suited to any person working with participants who wish to improve their fundamental movement skills. These skills need to be learned prior to fundamental sport skills. When participants learn fundamental movement skills, they have a choice to participate in a wide range of other activities.
What are the NCCP Fundamental Movement Skills?
Fundamental movement skills are the building blocks of movement. They can occur in and on different environments: air, water, ice and land. The different movements include rolling, swinging, sliding, skipping and many others.
The NCCP Fundamental Movement Skills Workshop, presented by TeamSnap, focuses on the following specific fundamental movement skills:
• Throwing
• Catching
• Jumping
• Striking
• Running
• Kicking
• Wheeling
Workshop participants can apply the skills they learn in this module for these seven fundamental movement skills to other fundamental movements.
What is the NCCP Fundamental Movement Skills Workshop, presented by TeamSnap?
• It is an interactive, in-person module.
• It provides tools, templates and games/activities to help coaches and leaders implement practices and sessions to develop fundamental movement skills.
• It is a recognized NCCP professional development module reflecting NCCP instructional design.
What does this module not cover?
• It does not cover fundamental sport skills.
• It does not include sport-specific resources, nor technical resources.
• It does not make people experts in coaching, nor experts in disabilities.
• It does not replicate existing disability or sport-specific resources and programming.
• It does not focus on competitive or high-performance sport.
What is the module's purpose?
The NCCP Fundamental Movement Skills module, presented by TeamSnap, is designed for coaches, educators, and recreation/youth/sport leaders who want to learn how to observe, detect, and correct the fundamental movement skills to guide the physical development of children. By helping children develop the building blocks of movement, we can support them to be active for their lifespans.
What recognition will I receive for completing the training?
After completing the training, you will be entered in the Locker as being NCCP Fundamental Movement Skills Trained. Furthermore, the workshop is a professional development module that allows NCCP certified coaches to earn five (5) professional development points towards their NCCP Maintenance of Certification.
In the past, I already took the NCCP Fundamental Movement Skills module. Should I take it again?
Yes! Any coach, educator or recreation/sport/youth leader wishing to improve the fundamental movement skills of their participants will benefit from taking the workshop or revisiting the module as a refresher. In January 2018, the NCCP Fundamental Movement Skills module, presented by TeamSnap, was updated. Those who have completed the module prior to the revision will benefit from the new tools, resources, and information contained in the updated workshop.
The NCCP Fundamental Movement Skills Workshop, presented by TeamSnap, is also a professional development module that allows NCCP certified coaches to earn five (5) professional development points towards their NCCP Maintenance of Certification.
Where can I find ideas for additional activities?
The NCCP Fundamental Movement Skills Workshop, presented by TeamSnap, provides a number of games and activities to promote the development of fundamental movement skills. However, here are additional resources for games and activities:
- 150 Coaching Collection: Activities to Plan and Deliver in Practice
- Active for Life: Activities List

South county: MEAT EATERY & TAPROOM
This Boca Raton burger joint is a warm, brick-lined oasis located in a cavernous, shared office building. In its hip factor, the eatery stands in sharp contrast to the larger, corporate-like structure.
The burger offerings here are downright decadent, thanks to meat master and chef George Patti, who has built a loyal following from here to Islamorada, home of MEAT's original location.
My go-to burger at MEAT is the messy, pimento cheese-stuffed Juicy Lucy with a side of duck fat fries. But Patti routinely adds other interesting options to his menu. Recently, he offered a killer house-ground Cajun andouille sausage melt, topped with aged cheddar and Guinness braised onions on sourdough bread.
Even his breakfast sandwiches (served 8:30 to 10:30 a.m.) are exceptionally meaty — the Good Morning Patti sandwich is a brioche bun layered with house-made chorizo, scrambled eggs and cheddar.
MEAT pours a decent range of craft beers, micro-brewed sodas and sinful shakes. (Hello, Nutella-Guinness shake!)

Runner, Triathlete, Engineer
My goal is to represent the USA in the 2020 Olympics.
I've worked hard my entire life through training and improving the natural ability I've been given. I started running and swimming in elementary school and competed in kids triathlons. In high school I swam, ran track and cross country, and competed at the Youth and Junior level in triathlon. My Junior triathlon career culminated with a bronze medal at World Championships in Beijing in 2011.
When I graduated from high school, my triathlon career was put on the back burner (but never out of reach) as I focused on running track and cross country for the University of Michigan while earning a degree in aerospace engineering.
In January 2017, I began my transition back to triathlon and earned my elite license in March. I am a member of the USA Triathlon development team and am being coached by Greg Mueller of Team Innovative Endurance.
Having fine-tuned my running skills while at Michigan, earned an engineering degree, and now conducting aerodynamic research and development work for Specialized Bicycles, I am in a unique position to combine my engineering expertise, athletic skills, and lifelong passion for sport toward my quest to earn a spot on the USA Olympic Team in triathlon.
I am committed to spending the next four years in preparation for Tokyo 2020. To date, USA Triathlon, Specialized Bicycles, ROKA, and Quarq are on board as major sponsors for this long journey. Please consider following my progress and joining these and other sponsors in support of my dream "Tony's Triathlon Trail to Tokyo 2020."
Thank you, Tony Smoragiewicz
Olympic Triathlon History
The 2000 Summer Olympics saw the first appearance of the triathlon. Fort-eight women and 52 men competed in triathlon's Olympic debut. The Olympic distance triathlon is comprised of a 1.5 km (0.93 mi) swim, 40 km (24.9 mi) bike, and a 10 km (6.2 mi) run. The 2004 triathlon was identical to the first in distance, but the 100-athlete quota was evened between 50 women and 50 men. The quota was further increased to 55 women and 55 men for the 2008 Olympics and has remained the same for 2012 and 2016.
The men's triathlon at the 2016 Summer Olympics took place in Rio on August 18. A total of 55 men from 31 nations competed. Alistair Brownlee (Great Britain) became the first man to defend his Olympic triathlon title after his previous win at the 2012 Olympics. His younger brother Jonathan, finished in second place and added another Olympic medal to his collection after earning bronze in 2012. Henri Schoeman took the bronze and became the first South African to win an Olympic medal in triathlon.
US triathlete, Gwen Jorgenson, earned a gold medal for her first-place finish in Rio. Susan Williams is the only other American triathlete to have earned an Olympic medal, bronze in Athens 2004. The US men have yet to earn an Olympic medal in triathlon.

Union Bancaire Privée, like all banks and securities dealers in Switzerland, is a signatory to the "Agreement by Swiss banks and securities dealers on depositor protection". Under the scheme, up to CHF 100,000 of each client's deposit is protected. Medium-term notes held in the name of the bearer at the issuing bank are also considered deposits. The Deposit Protection Scheme is explained in detail on the Esisuisse website . Since 1 September 2011, deposits in the name of the depositor are considered preferential.
We are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). The FSCS can pay compensation to depositors if a bank is unable to meet its financial obligations. Most depositors – including most individuals and small businesses - are covered by the scheme. In respect of deposits, an eligible depositor is entitled to claim up to GBP 85,000 (This new limit applies as of 30 January 2017). For joint accounts each account holder is treated as having a claim in respect of their share so, for a joint account held by two eligible depositors, the maximum amount that could be claimed would be GBP 85,000 each (making a total of GBP 170,000). The GBP 85,000 limit relates to the combined amount in all the eligible depositor's accounts with the bank, including their share of any joint account, and not to each separate account. For further information about the scheme (including the amounts covered and eligibility to claim) please ask at your local branch, refer to the FSCS website or call 020 7892 7300 or 0800 678 1100.
The deposit guarantee and crisis resolution scheme, Fonds de Garantie des Dépôts et de Résolution (FGDR), created by the law of 25 June 1999, protects clients when their bank fails. Its "deposit guarantee" compensates holders of deposit and savings accounts for losses of up to EUR 100,000 per person and per institution; the "investor compensation" covers up to EUR 70,000 worth of securities in any kind of financial instrument per person and per institution; and the "guarantee for mandatory guarantees delivered by a bank" covers the mandatory financial backing delivered by banks to their clients. The FGDR can also intervene preventatively and contribute to crisis resolution before an institution fails, to preserve clients.

Since this is a time of adjustment for me and a time for me to renew my dreams of what I want to accomplish in life and business, I want to share a few thoughts on achieving your dreams.
It is never too late to dream or renew your dream for a better life. The real question though, is how do we achieve a dream? Well, here are some thought that will help you answer that question!
Can achievement be broken down into steps? Well, it isn't always that clean and easy, but I do know that those who achieve great things usually go through much of the same process, with many of the steps listed below as part of that process.
So if you have been struggling with achieving your dreams, look through the following, and internalize the thoughts presented. Then begin to apply them. If you do that, you will be on the road to achieving your dream!
1. Dream it – Everything begins in the heart and mind. Every great achievement began in the mind of one person. They dared to dream, to believe that it was possible. Take some time to allow yourself to ask "What if?" Think big. Don't let negative thinking discourage you. You want to be a "dreamer."
Dream of the possibilities for yourself, your family, and for others. If you had a dream that you let grow cold, re-ignite the dream! Fan the flames. Life is too short to let it go.
2. Believe it – Yes, your dream needs to be big. It needs to be something that is seemingly beyond your capabilities. But it also must be believable. You must be able to say that if certain things take place, if others help, if you work hard enough, though it is a big dream, it can still be done.
Good example: A person with no college education can dream that he will build a 50 million-dollar a year company. That is big, but believable. Bad example: That a 90 year-old woman with arthritis will someday run a marathon in under 3 hours. It is big alright, but also impossible. Your dream must be believable.
3. See it – The great achievers have a habit. They "see" things. They picture themselves walking around their CEO office in their new 25 million-dollar corporate headquarters, even while they are sitting on a folding chair in their garage "headquarters."
Great free-throw shooters in the NBA picture the ball going through the basket. PGA golfers picture the ball going straight down the fairway. World-class speakers picture themselves speaking with energy and emotion. All of this grooms the mind to control the body to carry out the dream. You have to see it in your mind before you can see it in reality.
4. Tell it – One reason many dreams never go anywhere is because the dreamer keeps it all to himself. It is a quiet dream that only lives inside of his mind. The one who wants to achieve their dream must tell that dream to many people.
One reason: As we continually say it, we begin to believe it more and more. If we are talking about it then it must be possible. Another reason: It holds us accountable. When we have told others, it spurs us on to actually do it so we don't look foolish.
5. Plan it – Every dream must take the form of a plan. The old saying that you "get what you plan for" is so true. Your dream won't just happen. You need to sit down, on a regular basis, and plan out your strategy for achieving the dream.
Think through all of the details. Break the whole plan down into small, workable parts. Then set a time frame for accomplishing each task on your "dream plan."
6. Work it – Boy, wouldn't life be grand if we could quit before this one! Unfortunately for the lazy folks, the successful are usually the hardest workers. While the rest of the world is sitting on their couch watching re-runs of their favorite television shows, achievers are working on their goal – achieving their dream.
I have an equation that I work with: Your short-term tasks, multiplied by time, equal your long-term accomplishments. If you work on it each day, eventually you will achieve your dream. War and Peace was written, in longhand, page by page.
7. Enjoy it – When you have reached your goal and you are living your dream, be sure to enjoy it. In fact, enjoy the trip too. Give yourself some rewards along the way. Give yourself a huge reward when you get there. Help others enjoy it. Be gracious and generous. Use your dream to better others.
When you have become successful and achieved your dreams circle around and go back to number one. And dream a little bigger this time!

I'm a big fan of one pot meals that can be made ahead for the coming week. Throw everything in a pan, simmer and forget about it. I'm an even bigger fan of hearty plant-protein rich one pot meals. Vibrant yellow lentils, savory Italian herbs, crisp white wine, and dairy-free creamy artisan herb-garlic cashew cheese make the most delicious weeknight meal that's a breeze to whip up. It's incredibly satiating and reheats perfectly which is great for a leftovers lunch during a busy week. This recipe is also a great dairy-free alternative that gives an indulgent creamy, cheesy texture and taste. Scroll down for the recipe.
I studied nutrition in graduate school so of course I'm inclined to geek out a little over the nutritious power of lentils. Just one cup of cooked lentils contains 18 grams of protein. That's the protein equivalent of 3 large eggs, but without the 555mg of cholesterol found in 3 eggs, which equals 186% of your daily value of cholesterol. Lentils are cholesterol free, full of healthy fiber, and one serving contains 35% of the daily value of iron. What's not to love? Let me know your favorite ways to incorporate lentils into your meals, I'm always looking for more recipes to try.
Creamy Savory Lentil Stew
Prep time: 5 to 10 minutes
Cook time: 20 to 25 minutes
Servings: 4 large bowls
- 2 cups uncooked split yellow lentils (can sub split red lentils)
- 3 and 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 cup of your favorite white wine (plus some for drinking while you cook)
- 5 baby bella mushroom caps, sliced
- 1 half medium yellow onion, chopped
- 1 roma tomato, diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 green onion chopped for garnish
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- 1 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 and 1/2 tablespoons Treeline Herb-Garlic flavor creamy cashew vegan cheese (or use one of these amazing dairy-free cheese recipes).
- Optional: Sprinkle of nutritional yeast and dash of ground cayenne
- In a large deep dish skillet, add lentils, water, and white wine over medium-high heat. Bring to a light boil.
- Add mushrooms, yellow onions, tomatoes, garlic, bay leaf, Italian herbs, salt and pepper.
- Reduce heat to simmer, cover, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove cover and stir in the Treeline Herb-Garlic creamy cashew dairy-free cheese (or use one of these dairy-free cheese recipes) until well combined. Heat for an additional two to three minutes to thicken.
- Remove from heat, remove bay leaf, add sliced green onion or chopped fresh parsley for garnish and serve hot.

RICHMOND v. LEWIS, DIRECTOR, ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, ET AL - 506 U.S. 40
RICHMOND v. LEWIS, DIRECTOR, ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, ET AL.
No. 91-7094. Argued October 13, 1992-Decided December 1,1992
Following a sentencing hearing on petitioner Richmond's first degree murder conviction, the Arizona trial judge found three statutory aggravating factors, including, under Ariz. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 13-703(F)(6), that the offense was committed in an "especially heinous, cruel or depraved manner" ((F)(6) factor). Concluding also that there were no mitigating circumstances sufficiently substantial to warrant leniency, the judge sentenced Richmond to death. The State Supreme Court affirmed, with each of the five justices joining one of three opinions. Among other things, the principal opinion for two of the justices found that the (F)(6) factor-which had been narrowed in State v. Gretzler, 135 Ariz. 42, 659 P. 2d 1, subsequent to Richmond's sentencing-was applicable. The principal opinion also conducted an independent review of the sentence and concluded that Richmond's mitigation evidence did not outweigh the aggravating factors. In a special concurrence, two of the other justices disagreed that the offense came within the (F)(6) factor as narrowed by Gretzler, but agreed that a death sentence was appropriate even absent that factor. The fifth justice filed a dissenting opinion urging reversal. Mter this Court denied certiorari, the Federal District Court declined to grant Richmond habeas corpus relief, and the Court of Appeals affirmed.
Held: Richmond's death sentence violates the Eighth Amendment. The (F)(6) factor was unconstitutionally vague at the time the sentencing judge gave it weight. Walton v. Arizona, 497 U. S. 639, 654. The State Supreme Court did not cure this error, because the two specially concurring justices did not actually reweigh the aggravating and mitigating circumstances in affirming the sentence. See, e. g., Clemons v. Mississippi, 494 U. S. 738. Those justices did not purport to perform a new sentencing calculus, or even mention the evidence in mitigation. Nor can such a reweighing be presumed, since language in the concurrence plainly indicates that Richmond's aggravated criminal background provided a conclusive justification for the death penalty, thereby evincing the sort of automatic affirmance rule proscribed in a "weighing" State such as Arizona. Id., at 751. Because a majority of the State Supreme Court did not perform a curative reweighing in voting to af-
firm Richmond's death sentence, the question whether the principal opinion properly relied on the (F)(6) factor as narrowed in Gretzler need not be decided by this Court. Pp. 46-52.
948 F.2d 1473, reversed and remanded.
O'CONNOR, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which REHNQUIST, C. J., and WHITE, BLACKMUN, STEVENS, KENNEDY, SOUTER, and THOMAS, JJ., joined. THOMAS, J., filed a concurring opinion, post, p. 52. SCALIA, J., filed a dissenting opinion, post, p. 53.
Timothy K. Ford argued the cause for petitioner. With him on the briefs were Judith H. Ramseyer and Carla Ryan.
Paul J. McMurdie argued the cause for respondents.
With him on the brief were Grant Woods, Attorney General of Arizona, and Jack Roberts, Assistant Attorney General.
JUSTICE O'CONNOR delivered the opinion of the Court. The question in this case is whether the Supreme Court of Arizona has cured petitioner's death sentence of vagueness error.
On August 25, 1973, Bernard Crummett had the misfortune to meet Rebecca Corella in a Tucson, Arizona, bar. Crummett left the bar with Corella and, in the parking lot, met petitioner, who had been waiting for Corella with his girlfriend, Faith Erwin. Corella agreed to perform an act of prostitution with Crummett, and petitioner drove the group to Corella's hotel. There, Corella communicated to petitioner that Crummett was "loaded," and petitioner in turn whispered to Erwin that he intended to rob Crummett.
After Corella and Crummett concluded their encounter at the hotel, the group again went for a drive, this time to a deserted area outside Tucson, where, Crummett believed, Corella would perform another act of prostitution. Petitioner stopped the car and got out. He first struck Crummett to the ground and next threw several large rocks at Crummett's head. Crummett's watch and wallet were

Should You Visit the Dentist During Pregnancy?
Posted on: 15 August 2017Share
There are so many dos and don't when it comes to being pregnant that you might be confused about exactly what you can and can't do when it comes to your oral health. Should you visit the dentist while you're pregnant? The answer is a little complicated. Routine appointments and professional cleanings are completely safe during pregnancy and help keep you and your baby healthy. More complex dental procedures are often better off postponed, however, and cosmetic work should always wait until after your baby is born. Read on for all the details on seeing the dentist while you're pregnant.
Hormones Can Cause Gum Problems
Hormones can affect all sorts of unexpected things during pregnancy, and your gums are no exception. You might notice soreness, bleeding and swelling, all of which make it harder to clean your teeth thoroughly. Food particles are more likely to become trapped, which can increase your risk of gum disease. For this reason, it's important to see your dentist for checkups and professional cleaning throughout your pregnancy. They'll be able to remove any trapped food particles, check the general state of your oral health, and advise you on how best to care for your teeth and gums during pregnancy. Gum disease has been linked to premature births, so it's important to do everything can to avoid it.
Emergency Dental Procedures Are Sometimes Necessary
In most cases, dental procedures should be postponed until after you've given birth. However, treatment might be necessary if you suffer a dental emergency like a missing tooth, or if you urgently need a root canal or tooth extraction to be carried out. In general, most work should be carried out during the second trimester of your pregnancy. In the third trimester, it might not be practical or comfortable to lie down for long periods of time, which can make treatment difficult.
Cosmetic Work Should Be Postponed
Any non-essential dental work should be postponed until after your baby is born to reduce the risk of any issues or complications. This means that cosmetic treatments like laser tooth whitening and bleaching will have to wait. If you're planning to get braces and your X-rays were carried out before you got pregnant, it's safe to continue orthodontic treatment if you wish. If you have any concerns, be sure to ask a dentist at an office like Melrose Dental for advice.
Don't know what to do about the dentist while you're pregnant? Keep attending your regular checkups, avoid any non-essential dental work, and ask your dentist for help and advice if you have any issues.

The Chicago Blackhawks came into the offseason needing to make a trade to clear salary cap space, and they did just that on Saturday, sending defenseman Nick Leddy to the New York Islanders.
The news was first reported by Newsday and a source later confirmed the trade with the Chicago Sun-Times.
Official: #Isles acquire D Nick Leddy from CHI for D Ville Pokka, D T.J. Brennan and G Anders Nilsson. — Arthur Staple (@StapeNewsday) October 4, 2014
Leddy, who has one year left on a deal that pays him $2.7 million annually, ended up as the odd man out on the Hawks blue line. Johnny Oduya and Michal Rozsival were also on the block, but the young Leddy best combined cap relief and quality return for Chicago.
The Blackhawks were forced to make some tough roster choices this preseason after the NHL salary rose less than initially expected.
The team had to shed $2.2 million in salary, which they did by t
Leddys offensive abilities on the blue line will be tough to replace, but several prospects could benefit from his departure.
Trevor van Riemsdyk could make the final roster for the Hawks, playing in a platoon with Rozsival and David Rundblad.
Klas Dahlbeck could also figure in the mix soon, but he was also sent down to Rockford Saturday, so he'd more likely be insurance in case of an injury.
At any rate, the Hawks' depth of proven NHL players does take a hit with this trade, and it will put more pressure on the teams top two pairings.

Vishnu Bhakthan, managing director, New Rajasthan Marbles said since the announcement of currency demonetisation there up to 80% dip in sales. "Prior to the move of banning currency notes of higher denomination we were able to take to the bank an average of Rs 30 lakh per day. Now it has come down to Rs 5-10 lakh per day," he said adding that they have completely stopped accepting Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 notes. "Currently money transactions are carried out in the form of cheques, demand drafts and online transfers," said Bhakthan.
According to Venugopal Shenoy of AG Krishna Shenoy Hardware and Paints, the traders dealing in construction materials have lost 90% of their business." He said their customers complain of lesser number of real estate deals and sales in apartment projects. "If you come down to Broadway you can see empty shops. Though there is stock there are no takers.
While the merchants pin their hopes on large scale and corporate customers they are not confident about individuals and small deals. Ajith Mohan of Ideal Interiors and Developers said, "While we would continue to get contracts from corporate clients , but we are not optimistic about getting work from individual houses, villas and flats."
The traders said it would take at least 2-4 months to get a clear picture of the impact of this demonetisation move. With more and more people depositing money in the banks the financial institutions would be in a better position to provide more loans in the coming days. It would also bring down interest rates. "This is expected to provide a new lease of life to the real estate. Our belief is that more people would come come forward to invest in various projects," said Bhakthan.

Yesterday, I received my new Dream Quartz stone that I purchased on Etsy, so I placed it inside my pillow case to enhance my dreams and for dream recall. Dream Quartz is good for past life recall, so I am planning on programming my dreams for past life recall tonight. It also helps in the releasing of negative energy. I purchased the Dream Quartz for the dispelling of negative beliefs and patterns in my life.
Also, on the shelf at the head of my bed, I have a Herkimer Diamond, a perfect stone for helping me to remember the messages & stories in my dream state that I receive from my mythical gods and goddess, angels and archangels, etc. I literally dream EVERY NIGHT, and I remember them; so I would say the stones are working.
Last night, I once again called in Pluto (God of wealth, Lakshmi (Goddess of wealth) and Lord Ganesh (God of removing obstacles. I asked them to remove any obstacles in the way of raising my wealth frequencies and whatever fears, insecurities and beliefs I have about money.
In my dream, I believe I was doing some kind of cleansing of my home. In real life, I live in a condo. In my dream, I lived in a large two story warehouse looking type of place with no carpets. I started to go downstairs, so that I could clean the rust out of my bathtup. At the head of the stairs, I saw Kelly Rippa live in some kind of video picture (like an ipad). I chimed in and said hello. We started talking, but then she started crying. So as not to intrude, I gave the phone to someone else. I then went downstairs, and cleaned the rust off that part of the bathtub in my dream (which is near the drain). The rust was only on a quarter of the bathtub, so I did not have that much to clean. I was wanting to get my home ready for people/company.My brother was sitting on the couch. A family friend called, and my brother answered my phone. He talked to her.
The house is my emotional state. The house seems to be very big and expansive in my dream, which I believe is a good thing. For me, I am expanding my awareness of myself, and I am growing within. Through my dreams and also to bring in more abundance and love into my life, I was inspired in the last few weeks to declutter my closets, cabinets and drawers of things I do not need anymore. I have been to the Salvation Army at least 6 or 7 times to give away things that are no longer useful to me. I have had a shredding truck come to my home twice in the last two weeks to shred 13 years of mail and bank statements that I stuffed in a filing cabinets in back of my closet. Those bank statements represented my hidden fears, beliefs and insecurities about money. They are now gone, and I literally feel lighter.
Usually when I dream about celebrities, it either means my strong desire to be recognized as an important person in the work that I do or that business is going to pick up. Kelly crying is me crying on the inside to clear out the emotions, insecurities and fears within me. Instead of comforting her, I went downstairs (into my deeper self) and cleaned the rust out of my bathtub. To me, the rust represents cleansing myself of my fears, beliefs,insecurities and some unconscious memories about money. Since there was only rust on a quarter of the bathtub, it is showing me how much I am healing. A bathtub, to me, is my state of mind, and I am healing. My brother showing up in my dream and talking to the family friend. Well the family friend is someone I have known since I was 4 years old. She is important to me. My brother suddenly appearing on my couch and answering my phone means to me that he is answering my call for something (smiling).

The standard method to sell a property is using a realtor and having them list your home. When you have a home to sell and would love to speak to someone. Houses can have a while to sell, and realtor fees and commissions can definitely accumulate during that moment. Getting and selling houses is quite a legitimate and respectable profession that may help the region in a lot of ways. The houses might be overpriced, repayments high and, unlike a conventional mortgage, the purchaser's name isn't put on the title of the property till they have obtained the house outright." Perhaps your house requires some repairs initially, or some fresh paint. Selling your home by yourself or through a realtor can take months or years before you discover a critical buyer.
Most online businesses are simply lead sellers which take your information and sell it to anybody in Denver that wishes to cover the lead.

Sometimes selling a house the standard way with a realtor is not really the most appropriate for everyone. Even when you attempt to sell it yourself, you'll need to advertise. There's no need to await mortgage approval.
