Sweater – Old Navy (old)
Shirt – Alfred Sung for Zellers
"Jeggings" – Alfred Sung for Zellers
Wool Socks – Thrifted
Boots – Sorel thrifted (5$)
Scarf – Lost and found (0$)
Bag – Split
I spent the weekend at my parents' – although I spent most of my time out and about with friends – which explains why I actually have outfit photos. My mom was (is always) nice enough to take my outfit pictures when I got back from snowboarding on Saturday. Since the days are getting (slightly) longer, I can actually still get photos after 4:00pm. Just barely.
Since they were calling for really cold weather on the weekend, I thought it was the perfect time to layer my wool socks over my pants. I leave these Sorel boots down at my parents place because I
have too many boots need them for all the snow in the winter. I really hit the jackpot when I found these lovelies at the church basement sale last spring. Five dollas! Sorels seem to be the new UGGS. Not in the sense that they are ugly but they seem to be this year's must have winter boot. Maybe this is more of a Montreal thing, I can't say for the rest of the world but I see them EVERYWHERE on my daily commute. I'm not complaining, it's about time something practical is actually popular. I'd much rather see high school kids in Sorel winter boots than with really ridiculous footwear. We get a lot of snow here and the temperatures can drop really low in our almost 6 months of winter so it makes me mad to see kids dressing like it's summer. [Granted, I did use to HATE wearing a coat when I was a teenager but I was stupid and probably had an ugly coat haha]
The amazing Jaimee sent me this Split bag (along with a few other goodies that will be popping up) and though at first I thought "Do I really need another purse?" (even though I had picked it out. Ha) I soon realized yes. Always yes. The size of this bag is just perfect to lug around my necessities along with my SLR. I will eventually have to invest in a good camera bag but until that day, purses dothe job!

Everyone is trying to lose weight, get slim and fit into last year's bikini. However, you should know by now that there's no such thing as a quick-fix diet module. Losing weight healthily takes time and effort. Anything that forces you to lose weight at a very fast rate is not a friend of your body. In fact, it is probably the worst thing that can happen to your metabolism. Prevention.com states, that many women assume that 30 minutes of exercise will change their bodies, but it's not automatic.
Keeping in mind that losing weight is one of those things that simply takes time, rushing it is a recipe for disaster. There are very intuitive ways to keep your weight down whilst at the same time have a healthy, happy life. Here are a few of the tips that can help you have a healthier, fitter existence.
Add Foods to your Diet, Don't Take Away From It
Forget diet denial: Try adding foods to your diet instead of subtracting them.
Adding foods to your diet that are high in protein but are low in fats and carbohydrates leads to a less fattening diet. Carbs are bad because when your body doesn't use them up, they get converted into fat for later use. Since in a developed country we always have access to high-carb, cheap foods, it's unlikely that your body will need a store of fat to get through hard times. The problem is that your body does this unconsciously. One of the ways to prevent this from happening is by replacing a high carb intake with one that focuses more on proteins with only a minimal amount of fats and carbs. Proteins don't add to the body's fat stores but are useful in building muscle and other connective tissue, so your body still benefits.
Grocery Shopping When Hungry Is a Bad Idea
We've all been there, in the grocery store when we haven't eaten lunch or dinner. Suddenly everything looks delicious and all we can think about is how satisfying it would be to eat all of those things after they are cooked. Reuters says,
Researchers found that people who hadn't eaten all afternoon chose more high-calorie foods in a simulated supermarket than those who were given a snack just before online food shopping.
Scientifically, we are driven to get high-calorie foods when we're hungry for the same reason the body stores fat when we don't use all of our carbohydrates: it assumes that if we haven't eaten on time, we are going to starve. Your body can be quite treacherous when it comes to maintaining your diet and doubly so when you're faced with buying food for the week. Things end up in your grocery trolley that are loaded with a lot of high-calorie ingredients while beneficial foods are left by the wayside. Always eat before you grocery shop.
Breakfast Is Important
When we're growing up, it has been pounded into our heads that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Now we understand why. It has been shown that people who eat breakfast first thing in the morning tend to consume fewer calories throughout the day. The reasoning behind it comes from the idea that your body starts digesting food in the morning when you eat breakfast. If you haven't had breakfast, it demands more calories during the day to make up for it, leading to the same sort of overconsumption of carbs that leads to an unhealthy build-up of fat. In order to keep your weight at a manageable level, ensuring that you eat breakfast is very important. From a weight loss perspective, breakfast is actually the most important meal you will have all day. Eating breakfast sets the pace for your body's digestion rate. It is also advised that you have a high-protein breakfast because protein tends to digest more slowly than carbs and a high-protein intake will have you feeling full for a longer time, lessening your craving for food during the day.
Plans Beat Fast Food
Planning helps you to determine the things you can have as opposed to fast food. We all know fast food is bad, but what happens when you don't plan meals is that you get lazy and that leads to you giving in to temptation and ordering fast food. Having a list of meals you plan to make during the week helps you in two ways.
Firstly, it allows you to get all your ingredients ready beforehand and secondly (and most importantly) it ensures that you don't give in to the temptation of ordering greasy, high-fat fast foods because you already have something to throw together at that date. Making a large serving size and having leftovers can also ruin your plan, since you tend to eat leftovers without giving any thought to the impact on your plan. Keeping leftovers in used single-serve boxes or trays makes it so that even if you eat those leftovers, you don't overdo it.
Chewing Gum to Stop Nibbling
One of the major downfalls that women who cook tend to have is the urge to nibble while they cook. When you're making something delicious in the kitchen, it takes a whole lot of willpower not to taste and sample every single thing that looks delicious. In order to avoid that, it's much easier to simply chew gum. The gum in your mouth gives you something to focus on to take away the craving for samples, as well as makes it awkward enough so you don't take the gum out to put samples into your mouth. I'm sure there's someone around the kitchen who will help you with your taste tests.
There are a number of different ways that you can help you lower your calorie intake and reduce your weight in a healthy manner. You don't need to subscribe to get-thin-fast diets and schemes. You just need to keep your wits about you. Making the resolution that you are going to be fitter and sticking to it is the first step. Always remember: Thinner is not necessarily fitter.

Delivering on Our Promises
It is only the first quarter of 2016 and it has already been an eventful year for us.
I am happy to announce that we have successfully turned over to the condominium corporation the property management of The Courtyards in Cagayan de Oro.
We are also setting the mechanism in place for the turnover of our other house and lots in CDO very soon.
In Cebu, we are scheduled to turn over the open spaces of La Aldea del Rio to the Homeowners Association (HOA).
Pueblo de Oro is also organizing the HOAs in our Luzon projects, and we will eventually turn over the open spaces and the management of the villages to them. This includes the newly inaugurated clubhouses, basketball courts and playgrounds in Horizon Residences Pampanga and Park Place Batangas.
Aside from the completion of the amenities in our various subdivisions, we are set to complete and turnover our first mid rise condominium project, Familia Apartments in CDO, by this April.
As responsible developers, we aim to deliver quality, sustainable projects that uphold the wellbeing of our residents, locators and stakeholders. To this end, we are involved in a wide spectrum of responsibilities: from designing attractive, well-built developments replete with facilities and amenities, bringing these plans to fruition, and laying the concrete groundwork for successful, self-sustaining communities. Our efforts are now bearing fruit, and I am happy to say that Pueblo de Oro is delivering on its promise to our clients. Government agencies such as the Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF) or PagIBIG has even taken notice as it awarded us the Top Developer in the Visayas region for 2015 last January 26.
In other matters, we are also looking forward to adding to our lineup of quality subdivisions. We have a number of new projects in the works, and are teeming with ideas and plans to come up with premium housing projects and developments that live up to the standards Pueblo de Oro has cultivated these past 20 years.
Moving forward, we would like to express our gratitude for the remarkable contributions of our residents. It is through the dedicated and concerted efforts of the Pueblo de Oro community that we have been able to establish these thriving subdivisions and uphold the quality of life in our prime developments.

We all have moments, even days or weeks, when we are overwhelmed with responsibilities
or worries. At those times, we are immersed and deep in thought… unaware of our
surroundings. I liken it to a speeding train, where everything outside is blurred and flashing
by rapidly. Imagine if we slowed the train down and everything came into focus.
The other day, seemingly on autopilot, I walked into the grocery store, loaded up my cart, checked and headed for the car. As I unloaded the groceries, I realized I'd had an entire conversation with the cashier and could not recall what she looked like nor what we had discussed. It was as if I had not been there.
How was this possible? How often was I not present in the moment? If I had been, I would have noticed details like what she wore, the color of her hair or eyes, what she had said or how she responded to me. If I had been present, I would have absorbed all this.
Being In The Moment
How many of us walk through life and do the same? Just existing and not relishing it. This made me sad and I wondered what I'd missed and even more so who I missed? Are there possible consequences from being so engrossed within ourselves?
As I prepared to drive away, I paused and made a commitment to myself that whenever I met another individual and a conversation ensued, I would actively engage. I would look into their eyes and make contact. I also made a pact to offer a smile as well. Being present in the moment, you have the opportunity to live your life fully, create purpose and have memories. Can you imagine how your life might change? Not to mention there might be some meaningful conversation with some truly extraordinary people.
Practice this technique for one week and let me know how it impacted your life. Imagine what you might learn, or teach another.

This was a crucial end of season fixture for Teddington 4s. Win and we were mathematically safe as Indian Gym had to play Alexandra Park the following week, so if we beat them then it would be down to fight between those two teams to see who went down to Divison 3 and we'd have a comfortable cushion between us and the two relegation spots.
It was a warm day. A little muggy, you might say. The grass in the outfield resembled lots of Donald Trump combovers. They'd obviously cut it some weeks before and just left it, so it was looking like a slow outfield and the pitch looked like a horror show. Probably not a good batting strip then.
I won the toss and despite some misgivings because of the warmth, decided to put them in and chase (as we'd beaten them doing the same thing earlier this season). We started with 9, as Abbasi and TK were characteristically late, so Aziz and Saunders opened the bowling for us. The shortage of fielders didn't affect us too much, though, as we took one early wicket, but would have taken another if I could have had a first slip in place.
I managed to hold onto three catches and we also had a couple of umpiring decisions go in our favour, including giving one of their batsmen out caught by yours truly down the legside. I had been pleased with this, as this would have been my first legside take for the club, had Phil not ruined the moment later in the clubhouse by informing me that he'd been standing at Mid On and the ball had clearly clipped the chap's thigh pad. The batsman had obviously realised the same, as he had one hell of a hissy fit whilst storming off the pitch.
Luke Saunders had his best spell for the club that I've witnessed, continually swinging the ball in and moving it off the seam. He returned impressive figures of 8-2-25-6 and at one point was on a hat trick in his final over. He didn't quite get the hat trick, but did finish Indian Gym off with a triple wicket maiden. (TK, when he wasn't disappearing, also bowled well to return 6-1-22-2). Only one or two of their batsmen had shown any real resistance to our attack as we knocked them over in only 27 overs.
When we walked off the field to wait for someone to bring tea along in the boot of a car, the target read 116 for us to chase down. However, whilst everyone else was tucking into their share of Indian Gym's "Curry a la Boot", I checked their scorebook and noticed that the kids they had scoring clearly didn't know what they were doing as they actually had got 123 runs, so I informed their captain and we modified our target to 124. Got to play the game in the right spirit, eh? Whilst checking the scorebook, I also noticed that when we'd shouted TK's name to the scorers as "Tauseef", they'd somehow interpreted this as "Mouse Id"! as that is what was written in their scorebook. So I informed the team during tea that "Mouse" was now to be TK's new nickname.
The slightly inflated score didn't prove to be an obstacle, though, to our opening pair of Dilan Camball and Phil "Headless" Eastland as they both set out about their jobs in a workmanlike fashion, blocking and bashing appropriately. We were cruising along at around 5 an over before Dilan (42) was held at Long On to a good low diving catch. By that time, though, we were 112-1 and only needed a few more for the win and guaranteed safety. Hasan Aziz joined Phil in the middle and Phil suitably finished the game with a six over long on.
So job done and next week's game at home to Crouch End is now effectively a dead rubber for us. Still, relief all round!

Xerox to stop making color wax copiers?
– Xerox has been selling printers and MFPs with the name "ColorQube" or "Phaser" that heat/melt wax chunks, and spray the liquid color wax on the page to create image (solid ink process) instead of using inkjet or toner technology
– The technology came to Xerox when it paid $925 million to buy the color printer/MFP division of Tektronix of Oregon in the year 2000
– Xerox Director of Public Relations, Carl Langsenkamp, stated; "Xerox remains committed to supporting both existing and prospective solid ink customers with the highest levels of service and support. However, it is not likely that we will be investing in adding newer higher speed solid ink A3 models to our office portfolio of printers/MFPs. Existing models across laser and solid ink are meeting customer needs and expectations"
– Analysts expect that Xerox will sell out its remaining inventory of solid ink models by end of year and not offer any new model replacements
– This would leave the Xerox CiPress production color system as the only current model using this old technology
– Xerox recently sold the old Tektronix facilities it acquired in Oregon to 3D Systems for use in making 3D printers

– "recent earnings show it hasn't been entirely successful"
– "the company's document products have been surpassed and in some cases rendered obsolete by digital technology alternatives"
– "Xerox is working to de-emphasize its legacy hardware business in favor of high growth service business"
– "At around $10, Xerox shares are down 26% for the year to date, nearly 19% for the past 52 weeks and down 23.5% for over 10 years"
– "Investors who have held shares since the all-time high of around $60 have likely lost a fortune"
– "Not only does the company continue to suffer eroding sales across all of its business categories, profits continue to decline due to eroding operating margins, which declined 160 basis points to 8.2% in the second quarter"
– "cutting costs without strategic growth initiatives won't generate the sort of profits to make Xerox a worthwhile investment today"

Kids Crew Children's Ministry
A place where kids can learn about jesus on their level
Every Sunday, Garland's kids are gathered together at Kids Crew, in preschool, and in the nursery to encounter Jesus in a safe, age-appropriate environment. Children learn about the Bible, how to relate to God, and how to love others through lessons and activities developed by our amazing team of committed volunteers.
We believe that faith is seeded in the home. It is for this reason that we prioritize equipping parents to train their children in the Gospel throughout the week.
Sundays at Garland
Kids in grades K-5th are invited to attend Kids Crew during Sunday morning service. Kids worship with their families until they are dismissed to meet their teachers at the back of the worship center.
Sunday Crew includes scripture memory activities, Kids in Action projects, and a few activities to help kids prepare for the week.
Nursery & Preschool
We seek to provide care for young children during almost all church gatherings. Nursery care is available from birth through age 2.
Preschool classes accommodate kids until they go into Kindergarten. The Cry Room and Nursing Mothers Room are both available to parents with infants. See an usher for locations!
Support for Families
Our Children's Ministry advocates for parents to be the primary nurturers of their children's faith through their time together in God's Word, prayer and blessing. Our hope is to support parents along their journey and give kids the opportunity to grow in faith among our inter-generational church community.
Summer Events
Kids in Action (KIA) – Believing that God desires every follower of Christ to exercise their faith through service, Children's Ministry offers ideas and opportunities for kids to serve at Garland, as well as in the community.
Sports Camp – Kids in grade K-6th are invited to join us during the summer for a fantastic week of learning about our faith as well as sports skills in soccer, volleyball or cheerleading. Camp runs M-F mornings. Kids won't want to miss it!
Camp Spalding – Kids entering 2nd-6th grade can take part in Discovery (2-4) or Junior (5-6) Summer Camp experiences at Camp Spalding on Davis Lake. Looking for our Teen's ministry? Click to learn more.

The other day I got a call from my cousin who said that he was going to get the family crest tattooed on his arm before he leaves for his new life in the US. My uncle has one, his eldest son and another of my cousins does too. My cousin called to catch up, but mainly to hear what I would think about getting one myself since I'm into family history and tattoos… so what do you think? Should I even consider it? I'm 50/50 about it… but then there's the other clan in my blood too… I don't know that much about the Ferguson and Sutherland clans but I intend to do some thorough research. So far this is all I know, taken from: http://www.scotsconnection.com/clan_crests/Ferguson.htm
Ferguson Clan
Ferguson Clan Crest: Upon a chapeau, a bee on a thistle.
Ferguson Clan Motto: Dulcius Ex Asperis (Sweeter after difficulties).
Fergusson Clan History:
The Fergussons first appear in Kintyre, and Kilkerran, the name of the Clan Seat in Ayrshire, derives from St Ciaran, one of the twelve apostles of Ireland who landed at Dalruadhain in the 6th century. The Fergussons in Argyllshire claim descent from Fergus Mor mac Erc, King of Scots c.500. The Fergussons of Kilkerran in Ayrshire descend from Fergus, Lord of Galloway in the reigns of David I and Malcolm IV. The Fergussons of Craigdarroch in Dumfriesshire have a recorded history that dates from a Charter from David II in the 14th century.
By the 13th century, the name was widespread throughout the South West of Scotland. Sir John Fergusson of Kilkerran fought for the Royalist cause during the Civil War in the 17th century and his estates fell heavily into debt. His grandson, also Sir John, restored the family fortunes by becoming a successful lawyer, and his son, James, became a Judge of the Supreme Court, taking the legal honorarium of Lord Kilkerran.
The Fergussons of Dunfallandy, near Pitlochry in Perthshire, were Jacobite supporters who took part in both the 1715 and 1745 Uprisings. Other branches of the family include the Fergussons of Pitfour, one of whom became a High Court Judge in 1763. Ronald Fergusson of Raith, near Kirkcaldy in Fife, was Member of Parliament for Leith Burghs from 1886 to 1914, when he was appointed Governor General of Australia.
The poet Robert Fergusson (1750-74) was much admired by his near contemporary Robert Burns, who erected a monument to his memory in the Canongate Kirk, Edinburgh. Adam Ferguson (1723-1816) was Chaplain to the Black Watch and became Keeper of the Advocates Library in Edinburgh while writing extensively. Patrick Ferguson (1744-80) was inventor of the breach-loading rifle. Sir James Fergusson (1832-1907) was Governor General of South Australia from 1868-72; of New Zealand from 1872-4, and of Bombay, 1880-85. J.D. Fergusson (1874-1961) was a noted painter, based in Glasgow. Sir Bernard Fergusson, 1st Lord Ballantrae (1911 – 1980) was Governor General of New Zealand, 1962-67.
Places of Interest:

Sutherland Clan
Sutherland Clan Crest: A wildcat sejant.
Sutherland Clan Motto: Sans Peur (Without fear).
History of Clan Sutherland:
The surname originates from the 'South Land,' discovered and colonised by Norse invaders from Scandinavia and Orkney. Many of today's inhabitants of Sutherland are said to be directly descended from the Celtic tribes who retreated away from these Vikings, and the Chiefs of Clan Sutherland are descended from Hugh, grandson of Freskin de Moravia, a knight of Flemish origin, who was given the lands of Sutherland by William the Lion in 1197. Hugh was also the ancestor of Clan Murray. At that time, Sutherland territory extended south into Nairn and Moray, and north into Cromarty.
William de Moravia was created 1st Earl of Sutherland around 1236, and William, 2nd Earl, fought for Robert the Bruce at the Battle of Bannockburn, and was one of the Scottish noblemen who, in 1320, signed the letter to the Pope, known as the Declaration of Arbroath. The 3rd Earl was killed at the Battle of Halidon Hill in 1333, but the Freskin line of earls of Sutherland survived until 1514, when the title passed to the 9th Earl's sister, Elizabeth Gordon. Thereafter, both lands and title were held by the Gordons until the 18th century.
The 11th Earl and Countess were poisoned by their aunt who wanted the lands and title for her own son. She failed, however, to dispose of their son, the 12th Earl, who married the former wife of Mary Queen of Scots' third husband, the Earl of Bothwell.
The 14th Earl was appointed Keeper of the Privy Seal in Scotland, and the 15th Earl supported William of Orange by fortifying Inverness on his behalf. With the ability to field 2,000 fighting men, Clan Sutherland was an invaluable asset to the Hanovarian Government during the 1715 and 1745 Jacobite uprisings.
In 1771, the 18th Earl's daughter Elizabeth, Countess of Sutherland in her own right, married George Granville Gower, Marquess of Stafford who was created 1st Duke of Sutherland a year before his death in 1834. The 5th Duke of Sutherland married twice, but had no children. When he died in 1963, the ducal title passed to his distant cousin, the 5th Earl of Ellesmere, who became 6th Duke. The more ancient Sutherland earldom, however, went to the 5th Duke's niece, Mrs Charles Janson, who, under the old Celtic system of inheritance, became 24th Countess of Sutherland in her own right.
Graham Sutherland (1903-80), born in England, was a distinguished artist and painter. Dame Joan Sutherland (1926- ) was an Australian soprano who joined the Royal Opera in London.
Douglas Sutherland (1919-1998)wrote the English Gentlemen series of books, along with other publications includingThe Yellow Earl – The Life of the 5th Earl of Lonsdale (1965), Against the Wind (1966), The Fourth Man (1980) and Born Yesterday (1992). Donald McNichol Sutherland (1935- ) was born in New Brunswick, Canada, and became a prolific actor of stage and screen.
Places of Interest:
Dunrobin Castle, Golspie, Sutherland. Seat of the earls and dukes of Sutherland. Said to be ancient, but virtually all of the existing building dates from the Victorian era and was transformed by the 2nd Duke of Sutherland . The 3rd Duke donated a large sum of money to the building of the Highland Railway and had his own line built from Golspie to Helmsdale.
Helmsdale Castle, Sutherland. Scene of the murder of the 11th Earl and Countess of Sutherland in 1567.
Dornoch Cathedral, Dornoch, Sutherland. A major restoration was sponsored here by the Duchess of Sutherland between 1835 and 1837.
Ben Braggie, Golspie, Sutherland. A statue of the 1st Duke of Sutherland who died in 1833 towers over the landscape. A renowned and much respected Liberal Reformer, he built the town of Golspie, but is largely held to blame for the Highland Clearances of the 19th century.
Carbisdale Castle, Ardgay, Wester Ross. Built by an estranged Duchess of Sutherland in the 19th century.
Oooh… that's just the brief history hundreds of years before slaves got the names…. =]

Portrait session on Orchard road
Photoshoot on Orchard road
I had the pleasure of photographing Cecilia for SWEA magazine a couple of weeks ago. My goal is always to photograph people as they actually are and feel. I would like to say I want to capture them real, raw and authentic. I always to everything I can to make my clients feel comfortable and at ease, no matter if it's a headshot session or a maternity photoshoot.
We were lucky this day since we had A LOT of rain a couple of weeks ago (the temperature was as low as 22 degrees which is crazy low for Singapore) but this morning was gorgeous sunlight. And Cecilia gave me such a genuin smile, that she made my day.
The second photo also made the cover of SWEA magazine, which I'm very proud of.

The Voice is definitely a unique translation. In some ways I found it to be really interesting and in others I was confused by it. Here's the breakdown… I really like how it gives you some additional scriptural context and historical background. The additional insights can really deepen your understanding of certain passages. That said, there is a bit of a "key" you need to become familiar with in order for everything to make sense and sink in. I haven't quite gotten there yet. The translation of the actual scripture is certainly easier to read than potentially more "traditional" translations like NIV and King James. On the flip side, if you are used to those translations this may seem a bit confusing as well. Then when you add in the supplemental history/background… well, you're either going to love it or scratch your head and shrug in frustration. The main thing that I think will keep me reading this version is the additional information, history, and cultural context provided in this translation. It truly does deepen the scriptures and learning experience. This may seem like a confusing review. I think it all comes down to this: If you are looking for simply a different translation to read, this may or may not be for you. If, on the other hand, you are in search of a different translation that will also provide some additional context for scripture and historical background…well then, scoop this up and enjoy!
A daily reading bible that takes your hand and leads you into the story of scripture from the very first page. Having read the Voice New Testament, I was super excited to get my hands on this Bible. The lyrical, narrated way that both the New Testament and full Bible version bring to the reader. The Voice has the Biblical text formatted as a play, the drama unfolds in the story of Scripture, and we are engaged, wanting to know more, not merely reading a single verse, chapter or book of the Bible but enjoying this as the read of ages. My ebook version of this Bible is well set out, includes hyperlinked Table of Contents and Topical guides which are also hyperlinked to the Commentary notes in this bible. There are also textual footnotes that hyperlink to provide more information. Any serious reader of God's word will have discovered the awesome way that scripture opens up a person's soul in discovering the Father's heart for us. This version of the bible, truly reads as a story that provides you with interest in each and every Bible character. For anybody interested in knowing what God wants you to know through the story of scripture, this Bible is highly recommended. Four reading plans are included in the Voice which are designed to keep you close – I plan to begin the 40 day Retreat with Jesus in the next few days – watch my blog for updates. Practical aids help to explore the Bible and use this version of the Bible in so many ways that keep the Word of God fresh and playing out in your thoughts all day long. I simply love the Voice Bible and recommend it for anybody who loves Scripture. Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255 : "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising."
I saw it on the news and in the papers when it was rolled out, so I bought a copy. As a pastor, I thought it was necessary to have it on my shelf because the people I serve will undoubtedly begin asking me what I think about this "translation." I have been doing my devotional time with The Voice along side other well accepted modern translations. I really like the language and readibility, and I have even used it in worship and Bible studies. But I am still not convinced it is a translation, but it is a really good paraphrase. So I will gladly continue to use it, but will walk lightly and make sure I have a "safety net" for now.
The Voice Translation Bible for EBook The Voice translation is a wonderful translation that kept me wanting to continue on. The Voice translation gives a fresh look at the Old and New Testament text and thus gives life to places in text that may have seemed stale once before. I also enjoyed the play script like writing style of the text that makes you feel like you are really there and seeing everything happen right before you. As a Biblical Scholar, I really liked the historical context references that occur throughout this translation and helps keep the message of the text within the context it was written and the people it was written for. As a believer, I feel that this text is a valuable asset to conversion of those who have either fallen away from the church or those who have had no experience with church whatsoever. I am so excited that I now have this translation in an ebook! Its easy to read on my Nextbook 7 and an awesome way to use technology to honor God! I received this book for review free from Booksneeze and was not paid for my review.
I found this translation to be very readable. It does not seem made for daily reading nor for study but it does provide an easy understandable read. Some of the comments and added headings do not help the text and some do not fit with historical facts and demonstrate the theological leanings of the compiler.
I love reading the Bible. I currently have the NLT, the NIV version. I purchased the Voice just to compare the translations and I love it. I love how its set up in dialogue form. I was never a fan of KJV, always felt I didn't quite grasp the meaning of the scriptures. The Voice is another wonderful alternative. The word of God is POWERFUL!
This is from the Hear the Voice website; "The Voice is a dynamic equivalent translation that reads like a story with all of the truth and wisdom of God's Word. Through compelling narratives, poetry, and teaching it invites readers to enter into the whole story of God with their heart, soul, and mind. This bold new translation engages readers like no other Bible." But I think what accurately describes this translation best is the tiny little shield on the Voice's spine, "The Voice is a trustworthy Bible translation that reads like a novel." The Voice is a bible unlike any other, so to describe what it is "like" I would have to use examples outside of the field. The Voice bible is like reading a screen play. The Voice bible is like reading an annotated novel. Yes, it is a bible and yes it is a bible translation, however I would not use it in a setting where I would need to "follow along" with a reader or a sermon; in that regard it's like other dynamic equivalent translations. In my opinion the Voice bible is great for those who have difficulty reading standard translations and want something more familiar to pull them in to the text. It's also great for people who are extremely familiar with the text and want to read the bible again with new eyes. I think it would also be great as a reading bible or for teachers who want to be able to examine a text in a different light. Some of the translation points I liked were instead of calling Jesus the "Christ" they call him the "anointed one," which is more accurate to the text and the Hebrew understanding. The Angels are called messengers, which I like. I think sometimes we picture "angels" as winged beings with halos and we really have no idea what these messengers looked like. The disciples are called emissaries, which is a very modern usage and works well I think. Unlike most bibles the Voice places the notes directly in the bible text, but to avoid confusion the notes are in a different color to differentiate scripture from editor. This review is for the hardback edition of the bible. The bible is bound well and on good paper stock. This is a quality
A new translation of the Bible into English does not contain the name "Jesus Christ" or the word "angel." It also prefers the word "emissary" over "apostle." Frank Couch, Thomas Nelson's lead editor on the project, told The Christian Post that the purpose of The Voice was to make the Gospel message easier to understand for modern audiences. "The Voice has not claimed to more accurate than any other translation, rather it is more easily understood than any other translation," said Couch. Here is what Thomas Nelson's Marketing folks have to say about it: The Voice Bible translation is a faithful dynamic translation of the Scriptures done as a collage of compelling narratives, poetry, song, truth, and wisdom. The Voice calls the reader to step into the whole story of Scripture and experience the joy and wonder of God's revelation created for and by a church in great transitions, The Voice uniquely represents collaboration among scholars, pastors, writers, musicians, poets, and other artists, giving great attentions to the beauty of the narrative. The heart of The Voice is retelling the story of the Bible in a form as fluid as modern literary works yet remaining painstakingly true to the original manuscripts. This translation promotes the public reading of longer sections of Scripture-followed by thoughtful engagement with the biblical narrative in its richness and fullness and dramatic flow. There is controversy over the non-use of Jesus name, Angel and Apostle to name a few. I was concerned that Jesus would not be proclaimed as the Son of God, as in some new bible translations being sold. This not the case with The Voice so I can recommend this book as a useful resource to study the Word of God. It is easy to understand. The notes that show who is talking makes it easy to follow the stories. Although I prefer other translations from Thomas Nelson Publishing, I don't believe that The Voice would lead anyone into a false understanding of the one true God. I received a copy of this book from Thomas Nelson Publishing for my review.
"The Voice Bible" helps understanding by changing the translations, "Jesus Christ" or "Christ Jesus", so that the modern reader is kept aware that "Christ" is an honorific adjective rather than a name. It also helps by its treatment of the Hebrew tetragrammaton. However, some of the side comments seem to have a dogmatic tendency. As one example, it is stated without any reservation that the first letter of John was written by the same person who wrote the gospel of John. On the other hand, presenting much of the dialog as a drama is thought-provoking.
Simply the best Bible I have ever used. Perfect for the Nook Simple Ereader I had used another and I spent more time trying to find what I wanted to read. This one is very simple to find what your looking for.
I have tried and failed many times during my life to read the Bible. I really wanted to read the entire Bible from first to last page. I purchased many different versions and never got there. With the Voice Bible on my tablet, I now feel that I will succeed. I read some each day and often find that I keep reading more than I inteded to when I started reading. The Voice tells the story in a very meaningful way. If you have had the same problem of getting through the Bible, I strongly suggest that you try The Voice Bible. Several of my friends are now reading it on my reccommendation. Enjoy and learn!!
I own several translations of the bible (kjv,amp,niv,nasb,message,nlt,rsv just to name a few!)--all have their strengths--but this is the best bible for reading and devotional time. If you're like me and own a ton of bibles I can imagine that you may be wondering about having yet another one but this bible is really worth it. Truly great to read. Own the leather cover (cover is great and made by artisans in Buenos Aires,) buying the nook version today. Love it that much.
I have not finished this book yet but I think it is an interesting read. I don't know how much faith I would put in it as far as actual fact but I'm enjoying reading it.
I am sure it will be a recommended read.
It is well written and very easy to keep your interest. However, with that said it is not a substitute for a good version to study from. This is definitely a devotional reading only Bible. Well worth the investment. Much better, in my opinion then The Message.
I'm not one to jump at every new Bible that comes out but I liked what I read about The Voice so I bought it. I've had it about 6 weeks and so far I still like it. I especially like the helps built into the verses. I'm still learning how to navigate it and my new Nook. I think it will become a favorite!
"The Voice" is the answer to "I cannot understand the Bible". Reads like a novel, yet conveys the message intended. Hard to put down once you begin reading. Yes, I recommend "The Voice"! It is a "must-read".
Very good historical background included. Use in conjunction with New International Version.
Great, easy to read version of the bible.
I really am glad I purchased this Bibe. Have many translations but this is so much nicer with having who is talking instead of verses running together. Lots of helpful information also
Bibles can be difficult to read. This one is very easy to read, with side notes to help you understand the time period. I would highly recommend this book.
This is an exciting "dialogue" based Bible, that makes the story come alive! Especially the Old Testament passages are vivid and tangible. Everyone should spend some time in the passages to get a clearer idea of what really happened. Highly recommend for serious students of the Bible.
The more I research this version of the Bible, the more concerned become about it. For one thing, I examined three passages in Matthew, Mark and Luke which were identical in the original Greek text but had been translated 3 different ways by The Voice. This suggests that each Gospel had a separate translation team, but that one team's guiding translation principles were at odds with the other. This review spotlights another significant concern – The Voice's replacement of "(The) LORD" with "(The) Eternal (One)". As you may know, virtually all English Bible translations render the Hebrew word "Yahweh" as "(the) LORD". Exodus 3:13-15 informs us this is God's personal Name, whose meaning is connected with 'I AM WHO I AM' or 'I WILL BE WHO I WILL BE'. In my view, "Eternal" is a woefully inadequate rendering, and my two most compelling reasons are: (1) "Eternal" truncates the meaning of 'Yahweh' by limiting its meaning to God's timeless nature only. Even the Voice editors, on page xxiii of its Preface, admit, "This is why we think the English word "eternal" helps to capture something of its meaning." (Italics mine) What's missing in "Eternal" are other important meaning components of "Yahweh", which can be deduced from parsing 'I AM WHO I AM' and from studying the various Biblical contexts in which "Yahweh" functions. Therefore, I find that other significant meaning components of "Yahweh" include "first cause", "self-sustaining", "one and only", "unchanging", "inexhaustible", "objective standard", "most powerful" and "Jesus" (John 8:58). For more details, please visit John Piper's 'Desiring God' website. (2) "Eternal" hinders the positive impact that using God's personal Name has on a worshipper. When we address someone we know, we use their real name. A young boy might be known for his precociousness, but his mother wouldn't say to him "I love you, bright one." No, she'll use his name and say "I love you, Joey." Similarly, when addressing God, why would we say "I love you, Eternal One", when we could say "I love you, Yahweh". (Of course, 'Yahweh' is still Hebrew, so you could be daring and substitute it with "I-AM". The capital letters would suggest the greatness and unfathomableness of God's name, and the hyphen would denote that "I-AM" is two parts of one name, like "Jo-Ann".) To its credit, The Voice has contributed significantly to ongoing discussions about how we should render God's personal Name "Yahweh" in English. Their choice of "Eternal" falls short, however, and this is one of a growing number of reasons I would not recommend The Voice for public consumption.

Those professionals interested in working as they travel, will most likely be concerned to make the change because it may be overwhelming to get started. Finding clients online may not always be easy at first, but here is a quick guide to making sure you can get yourself on your feet as an online freelancer and travel the world as you do it. You might want to check out the previous post on Royal Holidays Blog where you can start deciding where are the best places to work from with this new lifestyle. First of all, it's important to make sure that being an online freelancer goes hand in hand with your profession. You'll find mostly openings for web developers, mobile developers, designers and creatives, writers, virtual assistants, customer service agents, sales and marketing experts, accountants and consultants, and other similar professions. Basically, it's any job that you can do while sitting in front of your computer, with the right software and a good internet connection. When starting off, it's important to realize that there is a great deal of competition out there, and working online means working with international rates, not just local, which in most cases will bring it way down to the standards of countries that have lower salaries and living costs. And the word is out, so many companies are finding the top talent out there at the lowest rates. So, you'll have to be ready to show your worth and hang in there while you create a good enough profile that clients are willing to pay what you are worth.
If you are just starting off, you'll want to stay away from the more popular sites because these will be full of experienced freelancers, which may be way too competitive if you're just getting started. Here are a few that are good for beginners:
With goLance you can bid on projects or have someone look you up as a freelancer. You can build a profile, search and apply for jobs, and once you've finished you get paid. Here all you have to worry about is doing your job, instead of all the details and dangers of dealing with online clients.
People as a Service
This is another option for those starting out. People as a Service helps companies and freelancers find each other by getting all of the administrative work out of the way. They basically focus on making companies lives easier and helping them delegate tasks to virtual freelancers.
Growth Geeks
Growth Geeks is exclusive to digital marketing experts and basically creates an online marketplace where companies can find just the right expert. You could even be hired to be part of a virtual digital marketing team.
Jobs Outsource
With Jobs Outsource you'll be able to find jobs in copywriting, graphic and web design, social media marketing, or as a virtual assistant. You can negotiate a payment method with the client, be referred as a start worker and get on board with projects be it taking charge of specific tasks or the whole project.
When opening your profile on any of these, it is important to make an impact. So be sure to make an impact with your headline. It should be concise and clear enough for clients to know exactly what you do, how long you've been doing it, or your what sets you apart. Besides the title, the image is just as important. A professional photo will give more confidence to your potential clients. Don't spend too much time on details that won't show off your skills. Focus on your qualifications and experience and lead with that to get more attention to your profile. Finally, back up your experience with your academic background. Don't forget to include your contact information and to keep them updated. Finally, include references and samples so people can have evidence of just how good you are.
Once you've gotten used to what it's like being an online freelancer, you could start exploring not only places to travel on Royal Holidays, but different websites that are more competitive and can also up your game and get your more clients.
With Upwork you can get a variety of projects in size, duration and team-size. The payment methods can vary as well from hourly payments to complete projects with payments using credit cards or PayPal. Upwork even has a dispute resolution that can help protect your work.
A site as popular as Freelancer has many categories that you can choose from such as logo designs, data entry, business card design, article writing, mobile apps, SEO marketing, web design, and website development. The more you work and get references, the more you'll rise in the ranks to the top of the list of freelancers.
At Toptal projects have an average of being booked within 1 to 3 weeks. They have a pre-screening process for all of the freelancers, which will promote that clients trust and choose their projects from this site.

Former Treyarch QA spills the beans on Black Ops 4 Zombies Easter eggs and further plans for the game. A Redditor claiming to be a former Treyarch QA has leaked a ton of information about Black Ops 4 Zombies after stating that they were unfairly dismissed from the studio over a "blatant miscommunicatuon [sic] and mismanagement" regarding a lunch break, of all things. The disgruntled user, CallOfNobodyCares, took to Reddit for an AMA post entitled "Fired from 3Arc Zombies EE team today – Ask me anything!" although the account seems to have been deleted since. While their identity can't be verified, the information they've shared so far in regards to Easter eggs has been accurate, from the Viking Boat EE on IX to the Samatha "Crooked Man in a Crooked House" Easter egg, so make of that what you will.

New Black Ops 4 Zombies Details Teased Ahead Of Comic-Con
It was revealed a few weeks ago that we will know more about the Black Ops 4 zombies at San Diego Comic-Con this year. As we are closer to the event, Treyarch has started to tease the upcoming event and it'll be chaotic according to them. The official Twitter account of Call Of Duty has Tweeted a GIF which appears to be showing zombie eyes. There's nothing else shown in the GIF except the description which reads "Chaos Awaits". It's a perfect tease ahead of Comic-Con where Treyarch is hosting a Black Ops 4 zombies panel on July 19 at 1:00 PM PST.

This day left us feeling that kind of inner warmth and peace you feel when you go home — a feeling reminiscent of family reunions, home cooked meals, or Grandma's cookies. It wasn't the type of wedding where everything was decadent and polished, but rather had a beautiful, rustic and intimate simplicity to it. It was so sweet to witness this special day from those early morning butterflies, to joyous dancing in the warm barn light. We are so happy for you — Chase, Elise and your adorable kids.

Downend Folk Club Preview June 2017
Next at Downend Folk Club: India Electric Co. (support from Jack Cookson) Friday June 16, Frenchay Village Hall
Next at Downend Folk Club: India Electric Co. (support from Jack Cookson)
Friday June 16,
Frenchay Village Hall
SOMETIMES folk, sometimes not. That's the first line from the official biography of a duo called India Electric Co. But it could equally describe the eclectic range of folk, roots, acoustic and singer/songwriter acts that are regularly put on by Downend Folk Club. And that's why this is such a nice match, and why India Electric Co. are amongst the first headline acts to be invited back by the club for a second helping.
You see, India Electric Co. (otherwise known as Cole Stacey and Joseph O'Keefe) were among the first batch of headliners when Downend Folk Club launched back in 2014… and it was a key moment in the early life of the vibrant local club.
A packed audience that night (it sold out weeks in advance) were treated to an extraordinary evening of musicianship which really marked the club out as something for local music-lovers to make a regular monthly feature in their diary. Many people still refer back to that night as one of their favourites so far. So having Cole & Joseph back? Well, it was obvious, really! India Electric Co. use traditional instruments in contemporary styles to explore diverse themes from Eastern Europe, Irish traditions and urban alienation to end up with something "quirky and glittery - a veritable musical magpie's nest." (Mary Ann Kennedy, BBC Radio 3).
After releasing their debut debut album 'The Girl I Left Behind Me' in 2015 they began extensively supporting and accompanying Midge Ure throughout Europe. They performed live sessions on BBC Radio 2, 6 Music, as well as playing the likes of Glastonbury Festival and Cambridge Folk Festival. In 2017 they're embarking on their first tours of Australia, New Zealand, Scandinavia and Ireland to coincide with the release of their latest recordings.
Opening the evening's entertainment will be rising star Jack Cookson. Jack is a multi-instrumentalist and singer songwriter from the South West. His distinct style combines his deeply articulate lyrics with memorable melodic hooks and intricate fingerstyle guitar arrangements, influenced by elements of blues, folk and punk. He has shared the stage with the likes of Franz Nicolay (Against Me!/The Hold Steady), Cory Branan and Austin Lucas, and in early 2016 he was announced as one of the final four nominees for the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award.
Tickets are available from Melanie's Kitchen or online from www.downendfolkclub.co.uk. There will be a bar, stocking Severn Cider, soft drinks, wine, hot drinks and real ale from Hambrook-based brewery GWB, and locally-made Naughty Brownies. There will also be a raffle. Bring your own glass/mug/tankard/bucket.
For further information, visit the club's website, find them on social media or email email@example.com.

PHILADELPHIA -- Hunger is a harsh reality for many families nationwide but the Delaware Valley is particularly hard hit with 1 in 4 Philadelphians living below the poverty line. Kia Rutling, a single mom from South Philadelphia is one of them.
As a teenager, Kia Rutling dropped out of high school to get a job and help her parents make ends meet. As an adult now, with two children of her own, life hasn't gotten much easier.
Kia admits, "I've been a struggling mom for many a years, you know... You're sitting there watching your child starving, there's nothing you can do about it."
Kia wants a better life and hopes to get her GED so she can better provide for her kids. In the meantime, she turned to the non-profit Turning Points for Children for help.
"I have to go out here and ask somebody to feed my family. That's very embarrassing," she said.
We asked Kia how she gets over the embarrassment in asking for help. She said, "Like they say, closed mouths don't get fed. So if you don't go out there and look for it you're not gonna get it."
Turning Points helps more than 6,000 families in need every year, with everything from food to financial counseling.
And while Kia gets helps from the organization, she also gives back by donating her time three days a week to help others in need.
If you'd like to help families in need this holiday season, visit the 6abc/Dunkin Donuts Holiday Food Drive page to see the many ways that you can connect, share, and give.
This weekend the Boy Scouts will be dropping off bags in hopes that YOU will fill them with canned goods and non-perishable foods. The Scouts will come back around the following weekend to pick up donations.

[ Bishop | Organisation | Publications | Miscellaneous | P.N.G | News | Home ]
Three Popondetta women have returned to Papua New Guinea recently (11 Oct 2002) following their attendance at a major World Conference of Anglican men and women at Cairns and Townsville. The Conference, which attracted 220 attendees from around the world, was the World Conference of GFS - an Anglican family ministry that is growing rapidly in the Popondota Anglican Diocese.
Mrs. Lucille Haembo is the Coordinator of GFS at Popondetta and was the senior delegate for GFS in Papua New Guinea. Mrs. Alison Boworo and Mrs. Mary Bagu who are both members and leaders of the organisation accompanied her.
GFS is still called the Girls Friendly Society in some parts of the world, having been started in England in 1875 to work with disadvantaged girls. A number of African countries, Australia and Papua New Guinea now have male members and so use the shortened name.
GFS works in many different areas around the world, in AIDS Education, working with the homeless and disadvantaged, empowering women to assist in leadership roles and in organising children's Christian activity groups (the main focus of the organisation in Australia). In Popondota Diocese the organisation mainly works with young men and women encouraging them in leadership roles and in service to others, following the motto of the organisation to "bear one another's burdens".
During the Conference Mrs. Haembo was able to report to the World Council on the World Project that for the last three years has been the support of GFS in Papua New Guinea. The project has met the required funds from donations from around the world and which have provided training visits from GFS leaders from Australia in the past three years and for the building of a training centre in Popondetta (expected to be completed next year).
Although the World Project has been completed, GFS in Australia has elected to continue to support GFS in Papua New Guinea to continue annual training visits and assistance in preparing resources suitable for PNG culture.
If you wish to find out more about GFS please contact Mrs Lucille Haembo, PO Box 376 Popondetta or on 675 3297682 (Popondetta Hospital) or contact the link person in Australia for Papua New Guinea, Val Gribble, email@example.com
GFS in Australia is just starting to develop its own web page http://gfsaustralia.org.au/kidsplus.html.

future directions OF network science
Each year, the Department of Defense (DoD) identifies important areas of research that are most likely to transform future technology capabilities over the next 20 years. The topic of the most recent meeting was Network Science, for which the Network Science Institute's co-founder, Albert-Laszlo Barabási and the Institute's Director, Alessandro Vespignani, were designated as Chairs.
The Future Directions of Network Science Workshop was held in September, 2016 in Arlington, VA. Twenty-five of the world's top network science researchers and ten government scientists gathered together, representing dozens of Universities, agencies, and scientific disciplines. For two days, we engaged in energetic dialogue about the promises and challenges of this emerging field, and worked together to map the trajectory of network science research over the next 5, 10, and 20 year horizon. The report here summarizes the major insights and themes that resulted from the meeting.

What is your idea of an adventure?
Life in general! I like to see my life like 'every day holds adventure'. I am pretty lucky with all the places I have traveled to and adventured around. Experiencing amazing foods, waves, culture, religion and history. Getting out of my comfort zone and scheduled routine. Whether I am surfing a new location, camping along the beach, experimenting with food, I try to have adventure in my life every day.
How do you stay on top of healthy eating?
About two years ago I fell really sick with Glandular Fever, lost all my white blood cells and wasn't allowed to train for a few months. My naturopath recommended I change my eating habits. So I changed to organic, gluten-free, limited sugar and a high fat/protein diet and I haven't looked back since. I feel ten times better with this healthy eating! It can be hard when traveling but there are always options!
What does your competition schedule look like for the rest of the year?
It's dying down a little now! I head to Japan in October for a QS3000 and then straight to Sydney for the last event of the year, a QS6000!
What is your favourite morning routine?
I get up at around 5.30am, make myself a Nespresso long black, as well as lemon and hot water, watch the morning news, stretch and get ready for a surf! If there aren't any waves I head to pilates! After that I head to my local cafe and get creative with the girls in the back and make up some green or protein smoothie concoction!
Do you have any rituals that you do before you compete?
I have a few! At one of my latest QS6000 competitions in Mexico my boyfriend Harry and I had this blue ball we would throw around, we took it everywhere, especially before heats. In El Salvador we had to get a little creative with a rock because the ball went walk about! I also have a pretty set movement routine I go through before my heats.
Photo credit: Chris Grant
Where is your favourite wave?
Punta Roca in El Salavdor, and Angourie point.
Apart from chasing waves, what do you do for fun?
I love pilates, health and fitness, creating new recipes and making bliss balls! I do some surf coaching for the little ones! Traveling and adventuring to new places!
Why is living organically and maintaining a healthy lifestyle so important?
Eating and staying healthy is a way of life! Maintaining health and fitness makes you feel AMAZING, full of energy and so fulfilled! Even if I wasn't a professional surfer I would still do everything the exact same!
Favourite Bare Blends products?
Bare Berries and Bare Greens are unreal, I use them both every day in some form, whether it is in my smoothies, protein balls, slices or bowls! The Organic Cacao WPI is delicious too, and blends so well with banana and tahini or raw peanut butter.
What is your guilty pleasure?
Dark chocolate coconut balls from the source health food shop! Anything with peanut butter, good ol' chips and guacamole, oh and as of recently, sweet potato fries!
Do mermaids exist?
Of course they do! Well in my world.
At Bare Blends we take a holistic approach to your nutrition and wellness; producing delicious natural & organic superfood blends that nourish and nurture an active body + mind. All products are sugar and gluten free. From Kakadu to the Andean ranges, we've selected the highest quality ancient, raw and organic superfoods and combined them with Native and New Zealand whey proteins. We believe we make the best tasting natural protein powder in Australia.
