How it works depends on where you are viewing the images from.
If you are in a collection then the Delete key only removes them from the collection, not delete from the hard drive.
If you are in a keyword grouping (selecting a given keyword from the Keyword Tag pane) then the Delete key just removes the keyword from the selected image(s) (and effectively removes them from that view).
If you are in a folder view, or a metadata grouping (like, by lens or location, etc. from the Metadata Browser) of images the Delete key will remove them from the hard drive or just remove them from Lightroom.
One good tip to know is that if you expand the Metadata pane (on the right side of the Library module panel) you will see the folder name listed for any selected image. If you click the right-facing arrow next to the folder name you can jump directly to that folder view.

Portrait shoots usually last an hour. Newborn shoots generally take much longer.
I allow some set up time prior to a shoot and some time afterwards in case they run over.
A 30% non-refundable deposit is required at the time of booking. The balance of the shoot fee is due the week before the shoot.
Illness and emergencies happen and I will always try to accommodate changes to appointments.
Please do let me know as soon as possible if you are unable to attend.

It has been a fun ride for growth stocks the past few years, but it looks as though value stocks are coming back into vogue and that's got portfolio managers optimistic about their chances as we enter 2018. "There may be positive momentum in the stock market right now, but that is only going to make it more expensive," said Matthew Watson, a portfolio manager with James Advantage Funds. In 2017, the S&P 500 Value Index was up 12.6%, half the annual rate of return for the S&P 500 Growth Index.
Berkshire Hathway (BRK.B) has added holdings in big names such as Apple (AAPL) and Monsanto (MON) to its portfolio. Its portfolio was valued at $178 billion at the end of 3Q17, compared with $162 billion at the end of 3Q16, largely due to a conversion of warrants to stock in Bank of America (BAC). Berkshire is slowly exiting from IBM (IBM), Wells Fargo (WFC), and Charter Communications (CHTR) due to expected weak operating performance.
The US Senate has approved cutting tax rate from 35% to 21%, which could present windfall gains to corporates and long-term adjustments in operating flow generation. Whereas the tax break will likely be profitable for equity investors such as Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B), companies engaged in US exports have weakened due to growing expectations of a fiscal deficit and the domestic manufacturing sector. Berkshire is expected to benefit from lower taxes on its holdings.
Berkshire recently narrowed down its future CEO candidates to just two people.

Honey Badger: What Makes Them Fierce?
One of the most interesting animals out in the wild nowadays is the honey badger. If they are to be described in one word, then it would most definitely be fierce. This is because apart from being able to thrive and survive in various climates, even the king of the jungle can be afraid of them at times. If you're wondering as to exactly what makes the honey badger fit this particular definition, then here are some more facts which explain what makes them so.
Their Name Itself
The honey badger's name itself means "honey eater of the cape". The cape refers to The Cape of Good Hope in South of Africa, where they could also be found. Another name for Honey Badgers is the Ratel, which could have been derived from the dutch equivalent of the word honeycomb, or raat. This is because they are known to eat honeycombs, and they do so through an intricate method.
Their Claws are Powerful
One of the greatest traits of the Honey Badger is that their claws are greatly powerful. Having said that, these claws could allow them to dig in a crazy manner, with them boring a hole on the ground in mere minutes. This would allow them to capture prey from beneath the soil, and thus even hiding under the soil is not safe for those who want to run away from them.
They are Like Skunks
Just like skunks, they also have stinky farts which they could use as a defense mechanism. Havign said that, their gland is not just stinky, but dangerous as well. This is effective in order for them to mark their territory, and thus you might want to think twice if you're going to invade it, as you're going to be greeted by a stench so bad you might actually pass out.

Handbook on the Northeast and Southeast Asian Economies
Edited by Anis Chowdhury and Iyanatul Islam
Chapter 16: North Korea
Frank Ruediger
Frank Ruediger Short political history Politics, in particular the nationalist ideology, has been a dominant factor in North Korea's economic transformation. Thus, a brief review of the most formative historical experiences of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK, or North Korea) is in order before addressing various aspects of the North Korean economy. In 1876, the Japanese forced the Korean Kingdom of Chosòn (Joseon; founded in 1392) to open itself to the West with the treaty of Kanghwa. The leadership, paralysed by factional strife and a tradition of self-isolation and close cooperation with China, could not agree on a common reform policy. Lacking economic and military strength, Korea lost its independence and became a colony of Japan in 1910, which until the present time remains a defining experience for all Koreans. The country was liberated when the Japanese surrendered on 15 August 1945, but only to be divided roughly along the 38th parallel according to an agreement between the Great Powers who wanted to establish a trusteeship over the peninsula. The Cold War made such a joint effort impossible. The Soviet Union and the United States each supported their own political followers on both sides of the demarcation line, and tensions were aggravated. The Democratic People's Republic of Korea was founded on 9 September 1948, three weeks after the Republic of Korea (South Korea) was created. In the same year, the Soviet Union and the United States both withdrew their troops from the peninsula. The Korean...

Flying sucks – from the crappy service and attitudes of the personnel, to the back room deal which screw customers over, to "delayed baggage" (nice euphemism for LOST LUGGAGE), if there was some OTHER way to get across the country, don't you think people would use it. What ever happened to bullet trains? Why is American Idol such a big deal? Why does 10% of the country glue their eyeballs to the screen for 4+ hours a week? I'll never know – maybes its the whole Cinderella Story meets Karaoke. Celebs are turning their attention to Obama since they actually like Bill more than Hillary – even Babs is hedging her bets!

Jay Cutler was sacked six times by the Saints, but that number could have been even higher. (Cal Sport Media)
Every week, we'll take a look at a player or group of players whose bad performance did the most to raise the stress level of their coach.
Last season, the Chicago Bears coughed up 56 sacks, the most allowed in a single season since the Raiders gave up 72 and the Lions 63 in the 2000 season. Through two weeks of the 2011 campaign, Chicago is on pace to allow 88 sacks.
That's an average of 5.5 sacks per game, a number that climbed after the Bears allowed Jay Cutler to hit the turf six times in Sunday's loss to the Saints. The sack total actually could have been much higher in that game -- think double digits -- if Cutler hadn't frequently sidestepped New Orleans' blitzing defenders.
Cutler still finished the day just 19-of-45 and coughed up a fumble. The Bears also scored a TD on their second drive, then managed just six points the rest of the way.
You'll recall, of course, that the Bears' 2010 season came to a screeching halt in the NFC conference championship, when Cutler injured his knee, leaving Caleb Hanie and Todd Collins to try to orchestrate a comeback against the Packers. They failed and Green Bay went on to win the Super Bowl.
So, the Bears tried to address their offensive line woes this offseason. They started by drafting tackle Gabe Carimi No. 29 overall in April -- Carimi immediately claimed Chicago's starting right tackle spot.
The Bears then let longtime center Olin Kreutz walk and slid Roberto Garza into his position, replacing Garza at right tackle with Lance Louis.
The results still have not come, and things seem to be getting worse -- Carimi injured his knee against New Orleans and Louis missed Week 2 with an ankle injury, leaving backups at both RT and RG. But both sides of the line had issues.
The biggest play of the game may have come in the third quarter, with the Bears down 16-13. On second-and-11, Cutler dropped back to throw while the Saints brought all three linebackers on a blitz. Somehow, tight end Kellen Davis wound up isolated on defensive end Turk McBride on Cutler's blindside -- McBride blew past Davis, drilled Cutler and forced a fumble that the Saints recovered.
At least two other times, the left side of the line (and specifically LT J'Marcus Webb) let a defender through untouched for a sack -- once on a blitz and once on a simple four-man rush.
It was really the blitzes that undid the Bears' front, with the right side just as guilty. Chicago had no answers for the Saints' rush and the situation only got worse as the game went on, with Carimi on the sideline.
The impact of Chicago's poor line play trickles down to Matt Forte and the run game, too. Forte has topped 1,000 yards in two of his three seasons, but there's always been the sense he was capable of more.
Even with Forte, Chicago finished just 22nd in the league in rushing last season, one spot behind a Miami team that was so thoroughly fed up with its ground attack that it revamped its entire backfield.
Forte has just 117 yards in two games this year and received a criminally low 10 carries in New Orleans.
At this point, though, there's only so much Chicago can do. Once again, the Bears find themselves in a plug-and-pray situation, trying to piece together their best possible line without any real strong combinations presenting themselves.Falcons

CHINESE lanterns could be banned amid claims they are a fire hazard that can harm animals and pose a danger to aircraft.
Hampshire County Council is to stop all sales of the wire and paper flying lamps at authority-run events.
And it is to write to the government to call for the lanterns, described as 'monstrous' by one councillor, banned from sale nationwide.
Tory Councillor Carol Leversha requested the council take action against their use.
She said: 'They can remain in the air for 20 minutes, and can reach up to a mile in height, so they travel very long distances. But when they land, often still alight, they set fire to things.
'In one incident one landed in a horse stables, and bounced around. If people hadn't been there to extinguish it, the horses would have been burned to death. In another, recently, a lantern fell on a thatched roof, causing a family to have to escape. They're monstrous and they really need to be banned.'
The lanterns, which cost around £2 each, contain a small flammable fuel cell, which provides the hot air to make them float.
They were originally a Chinese invention, but have become popular in recent years, particularly at summer evening events, where crowds gather to watch the glowing lamps float into the sky.
No incidents of fire caused by a lantern have been reported within Hampshire.
But Cllr Leversha said: 'The wire in them is eaten by cattle, and cuts them open from the inside, causing infection and often death, and they are a danger to aircraft because of the heights and distances they can reach.
'The coastguard, National Farmers' Union, RNLI and Fire and Rescue services have all expressed concerns or asked for an outright ban. In Germany, many states have banned them already. They are dangerous and we should do the same.'
The council voted unanimously on Thursday afternoon to ask the government for a nationwide sales ban.
And though its Trading Standards team can't ban sales from shops in the county without legal support from Whitehall, it has pledged to stop the lanterns' use at its own events, and those run by district councils.
Gosport Lib Dem Cllr Peter Chegwyn said: 'This is a good idea. We can get the district councils to ban them from their events, too.
'They're often sold on site, and we can just ask them to add a condition of licensing an event that says no lanterns can be used or sold on site at any of their own, or privately-run, activities. It'll cost very little, and improve safety.'
Cllr Chegwyn's suggestion also won unanimous approval at the council meeting.
But Portsmouth City Council will not ban the lanterns.
Its leader for the environment, Cllr Eleanor Scott, said: 'No, we have no plans in place to ban them, and we're not looking into doing so.'

In "Big Two-Hearted River," why does the landscape have such a dramatic effect upon Nick?
- print Print
- list Cite
The answer to this question lies in the knowledge that Nick, the character in this short story, is a damaged and psychologically wounded war veteran who has come into the woods to find some form of healing and peace from his wounds. The nature that is described in this short story is so powerful and has such a massive impact on him precisely because this is what he needs at this stage in his life. He significantly stays away from "the swamp," symbolically representing the quagmire of human emotions and relations that he is unable to cope with at this stage of his life. Note the following quote that explains how happy Nick is in nature:
His muscles ached and the day was hot, but Nick felt happy. He felt he had left everything behind, the need for thinking, the need to write, other needs. It was all back of him.
The landscape has such a big impact on Nick because it allows him to escape human society and gives him space and peace to just focus on bare necessities such as surviving and being by himself. It gives him time to recuperate and to make steps towards wholeness and inner healing.

No offense, Iggy, but hope you don't score
Two stars went into Friday's game looking for milestones: Alfredsson was one goal away from 400, and Calgary's Jerome Iginla was two away from 500.
Jason Spezza didn't want to wish Iginla bad luck, but he wasn't offering Iginla any good luck, either.
"We'd love to see (Alfredsson) score his 400th (Friday night), but we don't want to see Jerome score his 500th," he said.
"I'm a big Jerome fan, but I'd prefer to see him score it somewhere else. I'm sure it will be pretty historic but hopefully he has his moment another day."

Posts Tagged 'Benjamin Franklin'
Our Founding Fathers Said That?
The United States Constitution is considered to be "the supreme law of the land." And it has been for more than two centuries. No small feat for a document uniting the ideas of nationhood, independence, defense, general welfare, and all sorts of liberties.
This document certainly was not created alone.
Many people contributed to the development, shaping, and writing of the U.S. Constitution. Those who had the most significant impact on its outcome are considered to be the U.S. Founding Fathers (remember that this was the 18th century–women, such as Abigail Adams, influenced the Constitution, but through their husbands…a blog post for another day).
With all of the hullabaloo around the upcoming presidential election, and with all of the recent discussions on and controversies around gun rights and women's rights and immigrants' rights and LGBTQ rights and criminal rights and voting rights…, let's take a listen to what some of our Founding Fathers have said about the U.S. Constitution.
"The Constitution is the guide which I never will abandon."–George Washington (1732-1799)
George Washington is considered by many to be the "father of the country." He was, after all, the nation's first President. He served that office from 1789 to 1797. Prior to that, he was a general in the Revolutionary War and is considered to have played a pivotal role in leading the American Army to victory.
Our first president was known as a man of few and select words, as embodied by the above quote. He thoughtfully deemed the U.S. Constitution a "guide" to be followed, not the zenith or the ultimate truth.
"Whensoever the General Government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force."–Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)
Thomas Jefferson, third president of the United States (1801-1809), was a terrible speaker but a terrific writer. He wrote the first draft of the Declaration of Independence, and his input was invaluable to the drafting of the U.S. Constitution.
Jefferson was a lawyer, diplomat, naturalist, architect, educator, statesman, musician, inventor, scientist, geographer…he was fluent in many languages…he supported women's rights, free public education, and a free library system. All in all, a brilliant and cultured man. He knew government had to be kept in check, and that the general population was essential to maintaining this stability: "A little rebellion now and then is a good thing."
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government–lest it come to dominate our lives and interests."–Patrick Henry (1736-1799)
Patrick Henry was never president, but he certainly made a name for himself as an orator, lawyer, and politician. He served as first and sixth governor of Virginia, and was instrumental in opposing the Stamp Act of 1765. In fact, he may be most famous for saying, "Give me liberty, or give me death!"
This guy liked freedom.
Henry's political priorities always aligned with affirming the general population's rights and well-being. He was consistently against the idea of a strong central government. He initially opposed the idea of a U.S. Constitution, fearing it would jeopardize individual freedoms and state sovereignty. He only became an ardent supporter of the Constitution once the Bill of Rights was added.
Henry wanted the U.S. Constitution to serve as an "instrument" for the people, providing them with the means necessary to maintain their freedoms and hold their government accountable.
"Do not separate text from historical background. If you do, you will have perverted and subverted the Constitution, which can only end in a distorted, bastardized form of illegitimate government."–James Madison (1751-1836)
James Madison, fourth president of the United States (1809-1817), is considered to be the "father of the Constitution." He had helped write Virginia's State Constitution, the model for the U.S. Constitution. Both are grounded in his belief that the United States' potential would be "derived from the superior power of the people."
Madison predicted a national crisis if no Constitution was drafted. His advocacy for creating a U.S. Constitution paved the way for the Constitutional Congress.
He understood the importance of understanding and interpreting the context in which the document was written. As the context of the living documents changes, should the Constitution?
"It is every American's right and obligation to read and interpret the Constitution for himself."–Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)
Benjamin Franklin's words could not be more timely.
Franklin–statesman, writer, scientist, philosopher, inventor, political theorist, printer–understood that true freedom in this nation began with freedom to choose for oneself.
Franklin's highest political office was Minister to France. But as the oldest delegate at the Constitutional Convention, he had participated in significant events in American history, such as the signing of the peace treaty that ended the Revolutionary War, and the writing of the Declaration of Independence.
As a participant in the signing of the Constitution, Franklin shared an observation that all hoped would be a symbol for the new country. Upon seeing the sun sitting atop George Washington's chair at the closing of the Constitutional Convention, Franklin said: "I have the happiness to know it is a rising sun and not a setting sun."

Benjamin Franklin: Founding Librarian
We all know Benjamin Franklin for his exhaustive list of achievements, including his role as one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. But there is a lesser-known accomplishment on Franklin's resume: Franklin founded the Library Company of Philadelphia on July 1, 1731.
The Library Company was created for one simple reason: to expand access to books. Books in Colonial America were expensive and scarce. There were no public libraries. Franklin and members of his discussion group, Junto, were frustrated because they did not have enough books available to cultivate their intellectual and political debates. So the Library Company used membership dues to purchase books. The Library Company's book collection eventually became an integral source for delegates to the First and Second Constitutional Congress and the Constitutional Convention.
Greater access to books nurtured great minds like Benjamin Franklin. As we commemorate Independence Day on July 4th, let's also celebrate the role that libraries serve in our democracy.

(Presseportal openBroadcast) - It truly is no secret that African culture is known for its pride. Most Africans don't have a problem standing up for their beliefs and causes, and are often ambitious in regards to getting precise objectives. That getting the case, if you are of African descent and are searching for a partnership with an individual of one's ethnic background, you likely already have an concept in the sort of man or woman you might be searching for. Get more information about mali dating http://mali.africa.dating
In relation to finding the African man or woman of your dreams, you will find many options awaiting you if you hook up with all the suitable community. You can uncover the ideal connection you might be aspiring for, by receiving to understand other people who share your same ambitions and dreams.
Not surprisingly, like in search of any relationship, there are actually specific character qualities you might wish to stay away from for instance:
Revenue Suckers prevent a connection with an individual who's only interested in just how much revenue you make.
Dramatics an individual who requires issues towards the extreme could genuinely place your patience to the test.
Desperation In case your date is clingy, this can be a great sign that she or he could have self-esteem challenges or are desperate for reasons you could not want to know.
Shady If for any purpose you suspect that your date has some thing to hide, or has been caught telling you a half-truth or maybe a lie, it's time to move on. As soon as a liar, generally a liar.
Handle Freak It's true that relationships are about giving... but when you must quit all your free of charge time or interests to appease your date, it's time for you to take back manage and stroll away.
Now which you have an notion of what to prevent when dating, here are a number of the factors to appear for:
Beauty is Only Skin Deep - Certainly look is an vital element of dating, but do not forget that it is not the only aspect that should attract you. Look for an individual who's intelligent; someone with personality.
Popular Sense That is an attribute that goes a extended way, and can be a fantastic indication that your date is knowledgeable, and may believe on their very own two feet.
Self-Respect Any date which has self-respect, will take pride in their very own ambitions, and should really also respect yours.
There isn't any cause why you need to really feel pressured into perusing a relationship with someone who doesn't interest you, or who is looking for diverse goals. You may need to consider what you would like, and give it all you have got. And you can make sure, if it truly is meant to be, like will locate a strategy to attain your heart.

The right order
It has been estimated it will cost upwards of $45 trillion over the next 15 years to fulfill the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, the centerpiece of a global effort to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all.
But until now, there has been no logical path to meeting the 17 goals. Jeff Leitner has released the first-ever sequencing of the SDGs, the result of a survey of economists, political scientists and social scientists around the world, working in public institutions, think tanks, universities, foundations, and civil society organizations.
The sequencing was done in partnership with OECD and New America, where Leitner is a Fellow. He was enlisted in this effort by former U.S. State Department official Tomicah Tillemann, with whom GreenHouse has worked to re-design international organizations and U.S. support of emerging democracies.

"In particular, Farmers Exchange Bank, Cherokee is once again the top-rated bank in this category, followed closely by Bank 7 in Oklahoma City that comes in ranked at number 3," Beverage said.
The rest of the list is comprised of the following banks:

The Merchant Prince of Poverty Row
(Critical Survey of Contemporary Fiction)
Bernard F. Dick has published a clear and shrewd work on one of the most significant and controversial Hollywood studio bosses. Dick is the author of several well received books on the film industry that combine diligent research in archives, interviews with surviving executives and other Hollywood figures, and superb use of the growing scholarship on the motion picture business. The title of Dick's book refers to Cohn's efforts to transform a "poverty row" studio into a major player.
Dick does not ignore the popular histories and biographies when he has been able to verify anecdotes, and he writes in an engaging style, conveying considerable enthusiasm for his subject. Cohn still comes across as the rather crass figure found in various sensationalized biographies, but Dick also shows Cohn's enormous influence on the film industry and how he impressed his own personality on the pictures he produced.
THE MERCHANT PRINCE OF POVERTY ROW is not a full-scale biography of Cohn or a complete study of his studio (Dick has essayed the latter in COLUMBIA PICTURES: PORTRAIT OF A STUDIO), but rather an extraordinarily adept blend of biography, studio history, and film criticism. Dick includes charts of Cohn's chain of command, a section of informative notes, and a bibliographical essay. Both film fans and scholars will find this a fascinating and authoritative volume. Readable and indispensable as a reference guide.

Overview of Ratings

I visited this facility
Atria Chateau Gardens was lovely and accommodating. I enjoyed the director as well, he was very kind and knowledgeable. They had studio apartments, but the size that we want for my mom wasn't available, so we're on the waiting list. They have a library, and I also saw the dining room. Their menu looked really good and had a variety of choices.
September 29, 2016
I visited this facility
Atria Chateau Gardens is the one that I was impressed with the most. The gal that interviewed me and took me around spent at least an hour with me, explaining everything and showing me everything, and all of the paperwork. They sent me home with 4 cheesecake type desserts, and they were absolutely delicious. It's an older building, and I was surprised that they had been there since 1990 or something. It looked like an old Spanish building, but it's very well-kept. One thing -- when you check in there as a new person, you had somebody who shadows you and goes along with you, so you don't get lost or if you had any problem, they are there to answer any of your needs, to chaperone you around and everything, and I was really impressed with it.
April 07, 2016
I visited this facility
Atria Chateau Gardens is a really nice, updated place but more expensive. It seemed renovated, but the rooms were much smaller, like hotel rooms. The staff was nice. I'd recommend people to go and look at it.
February 28, 2014
I visited this facility
Atria Chateau Gardens is very nice. They have a lot of amenities, but they don't allow smoking. That's what I was looking for because that's what my sister would want. Although I think they have a smoking area like in the front, a little patch area. But they were very willing to help, talk, and they listen. They're very gracious people and very nice. The rooms were very nice, too.

I am a friend or relative of a resident
Atria has provided a good living situation for my mother-in-law. When Mom arrived, she needed fairly extensive assistance as she was recovering from the injuries she received in a fall at her house. Staff oversaw her medication and helped her with dressing, bathing, laundry, and other daily needs until she was able to manage on her own again. We've been very happy, in general, with all the care she's received, and the staff are extremely friendly and pleasant to work with. Although she no longer needs the extensive assistance she did when she arrived, she's not as steady on her feet as she used to be, and its reassuring to know that help is available when she needs it. The facility has a beauty parlor on-site that's open a couple of days a week, a library with computer access, and restaurant-style dining (although some residents choose to eat in their rooms). It's centrally located, in the Willow Glen neighborhood of San Jose, which makes it very easy for us to visit regularly our kids were even able to get there on the bus by themselves to visit Grandma!

The Grace of Giving
John Sheasby | 8 Messages
Our heavenly Father is a giver! Since we are born of His seed, that same nature has been placed within us. Unfortunately, so much teaching on giving has been done through an Old Covenant paradigm. Rather than our giving being under grace, many believers still see giving as compulsory, dictated by a percentage rather than being directed by the Holy Spirit, and the expectation of a harvest to be unspiritual and selfish.
In these messages, John endeavors to bring giving into a New Covenant paradigm of sowing and reaping. The motivation to sow is traced back to the Abrahamic mandate of our blessing coming through promises rather than the Mosaic mandate of blessing coming through obedience to commandments with the threat of judgment for disobedience. The mandate of Abrahamic blessing is to bless all the families of the earth! God does not even expect you to initiate the entire plan of New Covenant prosperity and increase. He supplies and multiplies your seed for sowing!
Let these messages challenge you to begin sowing in faith with the expectation of a great harvest rather than in fear, under compulsion and bondage.

|1st Kings 18
King James Bible
Chapter 19
And Ahab told55 Jezebel all that Elijah had done,1 and withal how he had slain1 all the prophets with the sword.
Then Jezebel sent4 a messenger unto Elijah, saying,2 So let the gods do4 [to me], and more55 also, if I make4 not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time.
And when he saw4 [that], he arose,4 and went4 for his life, and came4 to Beersheba, which [belongeth] to Judah, and left55 his servant there.
But he himself went1 a day's journey into the wilderness, and came4 and sat down4 under a juniper tree: and he requested4 for himself that he might die;2 and said,4 It is enough; now, O LORD, take away3 my life; for I [am] not better than my fathers.
And as he lay4 and slept4 under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched6 him, and said4 unto him, Arise3 [and] eat.3
And he looked,55 and, behold, [there was] a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat4 and drink,4 and laid him down4 again.4
And the angel of the LORD came again4 the second time, and touched4 him, and said,4 Arise3 [and] eat;3 because the journey [is] too great for thee.
And he arose,4 and did eat4 and drink,4 and went4 in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.
And he came4 thither unto a cave, and lodged4 there; and, behold, the word of the LORD [came] to him, and he said4 unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah?
And he said,4 I have been very15 jealous14 for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken1 thy covenant, thrown down1 thine altars, and slain1 thy prophets with the sword; and I, [even] I only, am left;11 and they seek17 my life, to take it away.2
And he said,4 Go forth,3 and stand1 upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by,6 and a great and strong wind rent18 the mountains, and brake in pieces18 the rocks before the LORD; [but] the LORD [was] not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; [but] the LORD [was] not in the earthquake:
And after the earthquake a fire; [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
And it was [so], when Elijah heard2 [it], that he wrapped55 his face in his mantle, and went out,4 and stood4 in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, [there came] a voice unto him, and said,4 What doest thou here, Elijah?
And he said,4 I have been very15 jealous14 for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken1 thy covenant, thrown down1 thine altars, and slain1 thy prophets with the sword; and I, [even] I only, am left;11 and they seek17 my life, to take it away.2
And the LORD said4 unto him, Go,3 return3 on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest,1 anoint1 Hazael [to be] king over Syria:
And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint4 [to be] king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint4 [to be] prophet in thy room.
And it shall come to pass, [that] him that escapeth12 the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay:55 and him that escapeth12 from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.55
Yet I have left52 [me] seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed1 unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed1 him.
So he departed4 thence, and found4 Elisha the son of Shaphat, who [was] plowing6 [with] twelve 6240 yoke [of oxen] before him, and he with the twelfth: 6240 and Elijah passed by4 him, and cast55 his mantle upon him.
And he left4 the oxen, and ran4 after Elijah, and said,4 Let me, I pray thee, kiss4 my father and my mother, and [then] I will follow4 310 thee. And he said4 unto him, Go3 back again:3 for what have I done1 to thee?
And he returned back4 from him, and took4 a yoke of oxen, and slew4 them, and boiled14 their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave4 unto the people, and they did eat.4 Then he arose,4 and went4 after Elijah, and ministered17 unto him.

At a friend's request, Dr. Bill Brockton is called away from the Body Farm--his human-decomposition research facility at the University of Tennessee--to help prove that a woman's suicide was, in fact, murder. But Brockton's quick consulting trip takes a harrowing detour through the Florida Panhandle when two adolescent skulls are discovered near the ruins of a once-notorious juvenile detention facility, destroyed by fire more than four decades ago.
Local stories about the... More Description
Local stories about the North Florida Boys' Reformatory are chilling: nightmarish tales of savage beatings, torture, and worse. Guided by the diary of a former "student," Brockton's team soon makes a grisly discovery: a cluster of shallow graves containing the bones of teenage boys, all of whom suffered violent deaths. But the search for answers becomes more perilous the closer Brockton comes to the truth--because unexpected skeletons reside in some surprisingly prominent closets . . . and summoning ghosts from the pastcan have devastating consequences in the present.

It's not even 12:00pm and this is already the bestest birthday ever! If you can't reach me, I'm sorry… I ran away.
The past two and a half months, I've been in Warri. One morning I woke up, looked at my last packet of noodles and said to myself, "Surely, even the lowliest servant in my father's house has much more to eat than this?"
We don't have servants and I live in my mother's house, but you get my drift. I conceded defeat, packed a tiny box and left Lagos back to Warri. Since I lost my job, I have struggled much more than I can publicly admit.
I enjoyed the peace and tranquility of Warri. Also, in my small area, because I haven't really been home in ages, I'm kinda like a superstar. I walk by and people hail me…
"Doctor! Welcome o!"
I nod and wave to them like a celeb.
"How ya ozzband?"
"E dey. We taink God"
My sister is the doctor. The ozzband is her husband, not mine. I don't bother to correct them though. I just enjoy the hailing and pray in my heart that no one ever collapses from a stroke during one of my celeb doctor sightings. They'll drag me to the scene, pushing through the crowd that has gathered round the poor stroke victim lying on the ground, writhing in pain.
"Comot for road!! Make way… na doctor she be!"
How then will I explain that the stethoscope I hang round my neck is just a rubber necklace?
I wasn't totally useless in Warri. One day, while I was eavesdropping on my mother's conversation minding my business, sound waves from my mother's conversation reached me and forcefully entered my ears. One of my neighbours was complaining about how hard it is to get good staff these days. So, later, I went over and introduced myself as an HR Professional… I even said it with a straight face and all.
The guy seemed skeptical at first. What do you know about recruitment? I spun some elaborate BS about jobs I've done in the past. He said ok, he'll try me out. So I asked him a tonne of questions regarding the kind of staff he wanted. I think that gave him a bit more confidence. Then we shook hands and that was it.
My former MD used to talk about how he started his empire in a three bedroom flat. So I cleared out the small entrance in our house – a nice space where my mother (the millipede) keeps a gazillion pairs of shoes. There were also several big bags filled with Christian literature.
She's a pastor millipede.
Anyway, I cleared that space, put a plastic table and two chairs, one standing fan and voila! Ngo Baby's Recruitment Plc had kicked off. Maybe one day, I'll write about the adventures of interviewing Warri people. Right now, I'm on a birthday vacation and this is supposed to be a very short post.
I left Warri a few days ago and although I will never admit it in public, I actually miss my mum and her silly Indian soap operas that are all shot in slow motion. I have decided to visit home more often… I'll try.
I am happy today and I am so grateful for life! I was in such a terrible place this time last year. I thank God for the best siblings in the whole wide world. I don't even have words… when I try and think of something to say to them, I well up. Thank you Nne, Wooolex!, Chip Chip and Gboo.
I am grateful for friends who cheer me on and applaud even the tiniest baby steps. I don't know why, but they haven't given up on me…
I should put up pictures, but I don't want my enemies locating me via Google pics. Just know, it's a beautiful place with a lovely beach and lots of seafood. I'm having fun. I took one backpack and my handbag & I regret it because I don't need three-quarters of the shit I packed.
Sorry for the scatterednessity of this post.
Happy birthday Ngo!

Seems like Taylor Lautner isn't getting any love in Japan. A survey by Screen, a Japanese film magazine, found Robert Pattinson to be the country's second favorite actor. Who's at the top? Johnny Depp. He's been number one for seven -- yes, seven -- years in a row. The third spot went to Brad Pitt. Sorry, Taylor.
Thanks to the country's immense love for Rob, Twilight placed third in the survey for favorite movie in 2009, just behind Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. We bet there are a lot of Japanese Twi-hards keeping their fingers crossed for two Breaking Dawn movies so there's more Rob to go around, but the actor feels more meh over the debate. He tells E! News, "I don't mind either way [about splitting the movie]."
Why do you think Rob's so indifferent about continuing the franchise? Do you think he's over playing Edward Cullen and the worldwide fame and fan obsession that follows the role?

Jason Flom's Wrongful Conviction Podcast Hits #14 on iTunes Top Chart
Podcast Launch Event Featured Exonerated Individuals from Across the Country
Podcast Launch Event Featured Exonerated Individuals from Across the Country
High Resolution Photos Available Here
NEW YORK, NY – October 5, 2016: Wrongful Conviction, the new podcast hosted by Jason Flom, CEO of Lava Records and Lava Music Publishing, today climbed to #14 on the iTunes podcast top charts list within 24 hours of its debut. The podcast was launched yesterday evening at an intimate celebration at the Gansevoort Park Avenue in New York City.
The event, which coincided with International Wrongful Conviction Day, highlighted several exonerees featured in the podcast including Raymond Santana of the "Central Park Five" and the recently exonerated Keith Allen Harward who spent 33 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. Up-and-coming Lava/Republic artist Maty Noyes sang the Beatles classic "Let it Be" as guests texted their donations to a digital "Karma Auction" that raised over $200,000 to benefit the Innocence Project, a national litigation and public policy organization dedicated to exonerating wrongfully convicted individuals. A number of celebrity guests and criminal justice reform advocates attended the event to lend their support to Jason, the exonerees and the Innocence Project including Alex Soros, Malik Yoba, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Charles Smith, Rosanna Scotto, Elvis Duran, former Nebraska Governor Robert Kerrey and Innocence Project executives Barry Scheck, Peter Neufeld and Maddy deLone.
Wrongful Conviction is a 10-episode true crime podcast released in collaboration with production company reVolver, featuring interviews with exonerated men and women who spent many long years in prison for crimes they did not commit. The podcast is about tragedy, triumph, actual innocence and unequal justice, exploring the impact a corrupt system has when it robs an innocent individual of their freedom while the actual perpetrator remains free to commit more violent crimes. The podcast is available now on iTunes, Google Play and Spotify, with new episodes premiering every Tuesday.
