We live in the information age. Information is all around us. It is in front of us. It is on our computers. It is in our pockets. Within a few minutes, you can have answers to a billion different questions. From geography to sports to history to science to entertainment; all of this information is at your fingertips.
How tall is Mount Everest? 29,029 feet. How many home runs did Roger Maris hit in his career? 275. What was Napoleon's birthday? August 15, 1769. What is the atomic mass of fluorine? 18.998404 amu. Who played Clarence in "It's a Wonderful Life"? Henry Travers. When was the first Star Wars movie released? May 25, 1977. How far away is Betelgeuse from the earth? 640 light years. Who was the third prime minister of Australia? Chris Watson.
But, not only can you find out trivial facts, you can find some very useful instructional videos as well. This past year, I have to look at fixing a dryer that's not working. Installing a hitch onto your car. Increasing the pressure of our reverse osmosis water purification system. Installing an electric dog fence.
Furthermore, you can get all sorts of information on your friends. In fact, I was on Facebook last night and found out a bunch of things about all of you. I found out that just yesterday a husband and children made birthday cake for their wife and mother yesterday. Whose 10 year anniversary was this past week. Who made a ninja turtle Christmas ornament this week. Who likes to listen to the Osmands at Christmas time. Who received a Keurig as an early Christmas present. Who made a homemade Christmas wreath. Who finished her reading book on Friday. Who had strep throat this week.
Not only can you get answers to factual questions. Not only can you find help with home repairs. Not only can you find out a bunch of things about your friends. But, you can get all sorts of opinions about right and wrong, about social issues, about politics, about heaven and hell, about Moses and Jesus, about aliens, about conspiracies, about end-times events, about getting to heaven.
And one of the things that we greatly need today is a spirit of discernment. Because -- news flash -- not everything that you read on the internet is true. Not everything that you hear from other people is true. Facebook is a place where lies abound! We aren't really that happy all the time. People link to articles and pictures that aren't always true. People comment and say things that just aren't true.
Not everything that you hear from preachers is true. Just because someone is preaching with a Bible in his hand doesn't make it true.
And our text this morning calls us to discern between truth and error. It calls us to not believe everything simply because someone said it. Or because you read it on the internet. Or because you heard someone say it. Or because someone who is nice said it.
Well, if you haven't done so already, I invite you to open your Bibles to 1 John. In our exposition of this great book, we have arrived at chapter 4. We will be looking at the first four verses.
1 John 4:1-6
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
I have entitled my message this morning, "Truth and Error." You can see in the last part of verse 6 how I arrived at the title. John writes, ...
1 John 4:6
... By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
See, it's not only our day that requires discernment between truth and truth and error. It was a problem in John's day. Though, I would say that it's much more of a problem in our day.
So, how do you know the difference? John says, "By this."
1 John 4:6
... By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
I think that John is referring to our entire passage. It's verses 1-6 that give us guidance into the truth. It's verses 1-6 that give us guidance away from into error. So, let's dig into our passage. You want to know the difference between truth and error? Here's my first point:
I trust that you can see that this is the clear command of verse 1.
1 John 4:1
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Actually, if you were paying attention, there are actually two commands in verse 1. The first is the negative: "Do not believe every spirit." And the second is positive: "Test the spirits to see whether they are from God."
But, the second command governs the first command. In other words, testing the spirits is the means to know which spirit you are to believe. If a spirit is from God, then you will believe it. If a spirit is not from God, then you will not believe it. Thus, you are doing exactly what the first command says: "Do not believe every spirit."
The reason why we are to test the spirits comes at the end of verse 1, "for many false prophets have gone out into the world." John's words here give you an idea of what he's talking about. He's not talking about some mystical spirit that floats around someplace. No, he's talking about people. He's talking about teachers. He's talking about prophets.
In 2 John, verse 7, he calls them "deceivers." And what was true of John's day is certainly true of our day. False prophets and deceivers abound in our day. They are all over the place. And the internet has given them a voice.
You might have in mind some big-name televangelists who do crusades or who have large churches. And this is certainly true. But, deceivers are all in smaller churches, too. Deceivers are also professors in colleges. Deceivers are also uncles who visit on Thanksgiving and Christmas time. Deceivers are also next door. Deceivers are also prone to go door to door spreading their lies.
Anyone who is teaching what is false can rightly be called a "deceiver." John focuses here on one area of deception that was true in his day. It has to do with Christmas. Look at verse 2, ...
1 John 4:2
By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,
This is practically the definition of Christmas. It's the time when Jesus Christ came in the flesh. Matthew described it this way: "She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins." All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: "Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel" (which means, God with us)" (Matthew 1:21-23).
John described it this way. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1). "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth" (John 1:14). The expectation of the prophets, and the teaching of the apostles said the same thing: "God would come and visit us in the flesh." He will be called "Immanuel." He will be "God with us."
Because of our sin, we were hopeless and helpless. We couldn't save ourselves. We needed God to come and save us. And this he did in the person of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ took on flesh and blood. And this is what we celebrate at Christmas time -- God coming in the flesh to dwell among us.
But, of course, it's beyond Jesus simply coming in the flesh, as if he appeared on the red carpet to make a star's appearance, only to leave again in his limousine. No, Jesus came with a purpose. He came to die. He came to die upon the cross to save us from our sins.
And this is our hope at Christmas, that this baby would grow to be a man. And this man would fulfill the law for us. And this man would die for our sins. And so we could be made right with God.
When Jesus came in the flesh,, he came to identify with us as humans. "Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil" (Hebrews 2:14).
Now, there were those in the days of the New Testament who denied this fact. They claimed that Jesus didn't come in the flesh. They claimed that he only appeared to come in the flesh. Today, we know the heresy as "docetism." It comes from the Greek word which means, "to seem or appear." The idea is that Jesus Christ only appeared to be human. His human form was only an illusion.
One of the driving reasons behind this was prevailing belief of the day (influenced heavily by the dualism of ancient Greek Philosophy) that viewed matter as inherently evil. Things of the spirit were ideal and good and perfect. Things of the flesh were impaired and evil and imperfect.
You can think of a perfectly straight line, but try to draw one and it will be crooked. You can think of a perfectly smooth surface, but try to create one and it will be rough.
So if God, who was perfectly good, was to come and dwell among us, then he, the perfect and infinite, certainly could not take on flesh and blood. That would be to mix perfect good with imperfect flesh. And for those influenced by this philosophy, they taught that Jesus only "appeared" to come in the flesh. They taught that Jesus was a shadow of reality. He was a sort of a ghost who looked human in every way. But, was really just a form of humanity.
Now, you have to catch what these people were doing. They had this underlying belief of dualism. Spirit is good. Matter is evil. God is infinitely good. Our flesh is evil.
Thus, for God to become flesh, it would mean that God would become corrupt. That can't be. Thus, it was only possible if God would appear to be flesh.
But, John said, "No." This is wrong! And anyone that taught that was certainly teaching in error. Listen again to verses 2 and 3.
1 John 4:2-3
By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. ...
I bet you never realized how important Christmas was to right teaching. Because an attack on the person of Christ is an attack on the Christian faith.
Today the battle is the opposite. The struggle today in our world is not with the humanity of Jesus. The struggle today in our world is with the deity of Jesus. People will readily admit that Jesus was a great man! But, they find it difficult to believe that he was God!
In fact, a few weeks ago, I was visited at my door by someone who didn't believe in the deity of Jesus. Perhaps such people have visited your home as well. They are called, "Jehovah's witnesses." And they are every bit in error as were the docetists of John's day. In fact, were John writing today, he may well have written these verses like this, "By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ [is the second person of the Triune God], and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God."
This is one way to Test the Spirits (verses 1-3). Test to see what sort of Christ a person believes in. It is of uttermost importance that you believe in the correct Jesus. Because, only the correct Jesus can save you from your sins.
It's as if you met up with an old high school friend, and talked about your friend, "Gus." And you were talking about what a great guy he was. And your friend was agreeing with you. And your friend was laughing at his long hippie-style hair, "I can't believe that that style was so in back then." And you say, "Gus? No, I remember that his dad was in the military and forced him to keep his hair in a crew cut."
And your friend says, "Yeah, well, I remember how Gus was a great football player." And you say, "Gus? A football player? He only weighed 140 pounds soaking wet."
And your friend says, "Yeah, I remember going to his house. It was huge! One of those big old mansions. We used to play hide and go seek in all of the rooms and swim in the pool." And you say, "Gus? No. He lived in the trailer park. And best I can remember, there was no pool in the trailer park."
What's the problem? You are talking about different guys! Your friend's "Gus" isn't your "Gus." And when it comes to Jesus, you need the real Jesus to save you from your sins. You can't believe in a faulty Jesus to save you.
Did you realize that cults always get this wrong? Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus was a created being, Michael the archangel, who became a man. Mormons believe that Jesus was a created being, the brother of the devil. Islam believes that Jesus was a created being, a prophet, but not God. Christian Science believes that Jesus was a man, a man in tune with the Divine Consciousness.[1] Some have believed that Jesus was a man who became empowered by the Spirit at his birth or at his baptism.
So, this Christmas season, let's believe in the real Jesus. Let's believe in God who took on human flesh to save us from our sins. Certainly, there is mystery here. How can it be that God became a man? We will never know. But, we must believe if we will believe the Spirit of God (verse 2). This is the way of truth.
So let's Test the Spirits (verses 1-3). My second point this morning, ...
This comes in verses 4-6.
1 John 4:4-6
Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
In verse 4, we find John, once again, affirming his readers. He affirms his affection for them by calling them "Little children." He does this often.[2] He affirms their source. He says, "You are from God."
John knows his readers. And he's trying to give them assurance of their salvation. He is seeking to give them comfort that, indeed, they do know God. He has done this often.
1 John 2:20
But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.
1 John 2:27
But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you
1 John 3:2
Beloved, we are God's children.
Isn't this why John wrote?
1 John 5:13
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life.
And here in verse 4, John is seeking to remind them that they are from God. Note the contrast in these verses. Let me read the first few words of each verse, ...
1 John 4:4-6
Little children, you are from God ... They are from the world; ... We are from God. ...
What John is seeking to do here is to present the contrast between his readers and those who are in the world. There is a big contrast. His readers (and all fellow believers by extension) are from God. Everyone else is from the world.
The best way to understand these verses is to begin in the middle. Let's begin with verse 5.
1 John 4:5
They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them.
John is talking about those outside of Christ. He's talking about those outside the church. He's talking about the unbelievers. He's talking about your neighbors. He's talking about your co-workers. He's talking about your unsaved family. He's talking about the secular media. He's talking about Hollywood.
And these people ...
1 John 4:5
... speak from the world, and the world listens to them.
Is it any wonder that they speak of the world? They don't have the spirit of God. According to Ephesians 2, they don't have spiritual life in them. Is it any wonder that the world listens to them? Those in darkness follow darkness.
The world gives worldly people what they want. They want things? They give them things. They want adventure? They give them adventure. They want sex? They give them sex. They want lies? They give them lies. They want gossip? They give them gossip. They want gifts? They give them gifts. The contrast comes in verse 6.
1 John 4:6
We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us.
Now, certainly, this has apostolic precedence. Meaning that if you didn't listen to John, then you certainly were not from God. But, such is not the case with us. Just because someone doesn't listen to me doesn't mean that they are not from God. They may like how another pastor says it. That's fine.
But, the principle is this: When God's word is spoken, do people listen? Because, their listening is a sign of their source. If they are from God, they will listen. If they are not from God, they will not listen. Or, to say it better: If they are from God, they will heed and obey the word. If they are not from God, they will ignore the word and not care to do what it says.
In 1 Corinthians 1, Paul said it very well. "For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God" (1 Corinthians 1:18). In other words, to those who are of the world, the word of the cross is foolish. A crucified Messiah? The baby at Christmas time? Born to die? It makes no sense. Who would send his son to die?
Mothers don't send their sons to war to die. They send them to fight and win and come back. But, God sent his son to die for our sins. It makes no sense to the world. Compound that to say that the way you enter the kingdom is through faith alone. Jesus accomplished it all on the cross.
That's utter foolishness to the world, where you work for everything you get. And then, to think of coming to God through faith and not by works? It's contrary to almost everything that the world knows. That's why it's foolishness.
But, "to us who are being saved [the word of the cross] is the power of God." In other words, when we hear of Jesus coming in the flesh and dying for our sins, we rejoice. When we hear that it's not through our efforts, but through the work of Jesus, and we are empowered to live a godly life, not out of obligation. Not from fear of condemnation. But through love for our Savior. This is the only true power -- motivation through desire and delight.
Paul continues on in 1 Corinthians 1. "For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God" (1 Corinthians 1:22-4).
The Jews of Paul's day were into signs. "Show me and I will believe" is what they said. The Greeks of Paul's day were into wisdom. "Wow me with your wit and I will believe" is what they said. But, such is not the message we proclaim. We proclaim a crucified Savior, risen from the dead. But, we don't have tangible proof. The proof was 2,000 years ago when Jesus appeared alive to the disciples and changed their lives. That proof is sufficient for us. But, for many it's not. So they don't listen.
And our message isn't particularly intellectual to persuade the Greeks. It's simple enough that even children can understand.
Pity the church that seeks to pander to the world. It's a way to get a crowd. Pity the church the gives the crowd what they want -- a little bit of Jesus with a lot of the world.
I remember reading something that Steve Jobs said. He never gave customer surveys asking people what they wanted in a product. He basically said, "They don't know what they want. I know what they want. I will build it and tell them what they want. We will give them what they want and they will buy it!" That is exactly like the gospel. We don't give the message that people want. We know what people need -- they need the gospel! And we give them the gospel. The power of God is in the gospel.
1 John 4:4
Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

The gummy substance, provides protection during processing, is usually retained until the yarn or fabric stage and is removed by boiling the silk in soap and water, leaving it soft and lustrous, with weight reduced by as much as 30 percent. Raw silk retains its color for a lifetime. When it is spun, a golden based hue gets generated,giving it a golden color Note: There may be a slight color variation in the image from original product due to various reasons like configuration of computer monitor, color scheme of computer, lighting of the photograph,resolution of the screen etc.

Social exclusion
Social exclusion (Sociology) is the failure of society to provide certain individuals and groups with those rights and benefits normally available to its members, such as employment, adequate housing, health care, education and training, etc. (165)
Social exclusion is a multidimensional process of progressive social rupture, detaching groups and individuals from social relations and institutions and preventing them from full participation in the normal, normatively prescribed activities of the society in which they live (165).

- CIPR, CIPR NI, PRide Awards
Not long to go until the glitz and the glamour of the 2018 CIPR NI PRide Awards on Friday, 19th October!
We hope you are as excited as we are as our local industry comes together to celebrates its continued growth and success.
With fabulous food, the warmest welcome and fantastic live entertainment, the annual event at The Culloden continues to provide one of the highlights of our year.
We know there are those who like to keep the party going and so, for something a little different in 2018, we are taking the after party off-site.
Transportation (kindly provided by Translink) will take any keen beans and revellers extraordinaire into Belfast city centre where we will enjoy free entry into Sixty6 above The National – thanks to The Beannchor Group for its support.
The bus will be at The Culloden at half past midnight and we will provide wrist bands for when we get to the venue.
The CIPR Committee in NI would love to have as many PRide Awards attendees join us and so, to ensure we have a seat for everyone, we are asking those who want to continue the celebrations at Sixty6 to register here.
Of course we look forward to seeing any and all who are going to the Awards, not long to go now!

A healthy choice, but no foo-foo, just a great recipe for traditional Scottish Curried Lentil Soup.
And this is a carbohydrate adjusted soup for diabetics (like me) but leaving out just carbs, not TASTE!
Ingredients; 1lb carrots, 1 lb Rutabaga (turnip/neeps),
1 cauliflower, 4oz RED lentils, 1 Onion, 4 chicken stock cubes (buy Pollo
mexican, they're cheaper.... see, told you I was Scottish)
(For Tomato and
Lentil soup, just add two tins chopped tomatoes at the start, and reduce water
by 1 pint)
Method; Bring to boil 3 pints of water with the stock cubes.
Chop Carrots, Rutabaga, WHOLE cauliflower and onion; add to the boiling stock, cover, and boil
sharply for an hour. Turn down the heat, and add RED lentils,
boil GENTLY for an hour, stirring frequently.
That's the soup ready.....
for wimps!
(Or traditionalists; The soup is actually ready to eat at this
point, and totally traditional Scottish fare.)
And for diabetics, the cauliflower tastes just like the potatoes that "should" have been added, but the carbs have been almost totally wiped out.
(Yes, I know that lentils, carrots and rutabaga have carbs, but not much.)
Now for the 'special'
You can add....... 2 tablespoons curry powder..... for
Curried Lentil Soup.
You can add....... 5 tablespoons curry powder..... for
REALLY Curried Lentil Soup
You can add....... a huge dollop of A1 sauce,
Worcester sauce, (or any other stuff you might think appeals).
cheese is good, ginger spice, turmeric, saffron, absinthe, ground mammoth tusks, rhino horn;
whatever warms the cockles of your heart.
And whatever you do, DON'T
listen to the idiots that think you can make this with any old lentils.... I'm a
Manchester United Supporter.... THEY HAVE TO BE RED LENTILS!!!
(Please trust
me on this... I don't have shares in the "Red Lentil Co."; crappy green/brown lentils taste like dirt when they're cooked.)
For more recipes, look at the last post, or hit the "Soup Yourself Thinner" book, on the carousel on the right.

Week 4
This week was a struggle, we had 4 snow days due to cold weather. It was -26 one of the days so we think that even though this was unfortunate for our time schedule, It was better than freezing. With this lack of time, this means that we need to work very hard on getting back on schedule. The programmers have been working hard on the drive base, on the subsystems and closed-loop controls which essentially tells the robot what level of speed it should go at. The design team has started working on finishing the robot design on the computer. The build team has been working on something great….. Something amazing …… something that is crucial to us competing… OUR ROBOT. We are so excited to be putting together our robot and really getting things started. Things. Are. Getting. Real. Even though it is a lot and can be quite stressful we are still able to have fun.

Stockmann's CEO Per Thelin said the outlook remains challenging, particularly for the loss-making Stockmann Retail business. The other divisions, Real Estate and Fashion Chain are profitable.
To achieve a turnaround in its Retail business, Stockmann must adapt more quickly to the changing environment and be more competitive.
The actions required under the new strategy have begun. Stockmann's new strategy is enhanced customer focus and a rationalised operating model to bring efficiency and agility. An efficiency programme with an annual cost savings target of 50 million EUR was launched in February 2015.
The programme includes measures to improve the use of store space and decisions on the optimal network of department stores. The Real Estate division is increasingly leasing out retail space to tenants, which will increase the value of properties and bring added value to the customer.
In Russia the plan is to close down three department stores in Moscow by the end of 2016 and all Lindex stores in Russia during 2015 and 2016.
A key part of the programme is a review of the support functions in Finland and in Russia, in order to increase efficiency at a significantly lower cost level.

First Aid Training in Sheffield, South Yorkshire and Nationwide
Welcome to Core Teaching Solutions for First Aid Training in Sheffield, Chesterfield, South Yorkshire, North Yorkshire, Scarborough and North Derbyshire.
Core Teaching Solutions provide professional and certicated first aid training courses for individuals and businesses in Sheffield, the South Yorkshire area, Chesterfield, North Derbyshire, North Yorkshire, Scarborough and nationwide training for groups and businesses.
We only put on courses that are asked for regularly onto our calendar of events. If you want to do any of our courses that are not actually on the calendar , then please get in touch, because we can run extra courses if necessary and could also maybe fit you onto other courses we are running elsewhere.
For any more information, any questions or to book onto a course please contact us on :
firstname.lastname@example.com or 07861 498360
We offer:-
TQUK Level 3 Award in Emergency First Aid at Work (RQF)
TQUK Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work (RQF)
TQUK Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid (RQF)
These are regulated qualifications that are provided through an awarding organisation that is recognised and regulated by one of the UK regulators (e.g. Ofqual in England, SQA accreditation in Scotland). The certificate of achievement awarded to successful learners will contain the logo of Training Qualifications UK Ltd Awarding Body for Compliance and the relevant UK regulators along with the full qualification title and number.
Level 3 Paediatric First Aid courses
This is the course that has basically replaced the old style 12 hour course , but has more content in it , hence why it is a level 3 qualification. It is the one recognised by OFSTED for Childminders and any Nannies who may require this level 3.
We usually offer the "Blended course" as this has proved much more popular than the 2 day course. But we can still do the 2 day course if requested.
This course is a "Blended" course which is a combination of video based online e-learning (theory) and a practical day with the instructor. This method is by far the most popular one, because the videos are watched in your own time (not all in one go!) and the practical part is just one day, so much easier to organise and potentially cheaper than taking two days off work. This "Blended" option has exactly the same level 3 qualification at the end as the traditional 2/3 day course. Please note the "Blended" course is an option for level 3 , it has not replaced the 2 day alternative.
We also appreciate that it is often difficult for Childminders and Nannies to attend the level 3 Paediatric First Aid Blend course practical day on a week day, so we can also offer practical day on a Saturday each month , and subject to numbers and availability can arrange extra dates.
Call direct on 07861 498360 to discuss or for further information.
First Aid Courses for Individuals or Groups
We are also able to offer first aid training for groups, associations, clubs and individuals, if you you would like a first aid course designed to suit your group's specific needs please call us direct on 07861 498360 or email us on firstname.lastname@example.com
Our First Aid Courses Sheffield, South Yorkshire , North Yorkshire and Nationwide
All our courses are taught in a relaxed, supportive and friendly atmosphere with the emphasis on fun and learning. Sharing good practice, new ideas, demonstrating and then using various aids and equipment, but most of all building knowledge, skills and confidence in yourself to be able to deal with an emergency situation should it arise. First Aid is not about being perfect, it is much more about doing the best you can in whatever situation you find yourself in. You can also download a free student manual for all our completed first aid courses.
We want all learning to be inclusive, so if you need any additional assistance or requirements to aid learning, then let us know in confidence, so we can try and make any appropriate adjustments to the course.

Their in-store sizes often stop at Large, which is basically medium for Indian women. But Forever 21 is slowly changing things around. Their India online store is now stocking plus sized clothing that will not remind you of sacks.
The information in this post might be outdated
Forever 21's India Site Is Now Selling Plus Clothing. Yay For Inclusivity!

Personality Plus
While the plus-size collection is smaller than the vast inventory that the regular sizes get to have, we are not complaining. Because you can take your pick from basic tees, leggings, dressy tops and more. And everything is on trend, fits according to size, and won't make you look like a balloon. We are especially loving the high rise and mid rise skinny and straight jeans available in indigo and black. These go up to a UK size 20. There are also denim jackets, kimono shrugs, sexy skirts, and this really stylish wrap jacket in lovely shades of tan or pink. Sizes for these go up to 3X.

Despite the many questions that Gizmodo's surprise announcement of the Apple iPhone 4G have raised, there remains the underlying reality, that there the phone exists and has been thoroughly dissected and analysed by the tech website.
Apple apparently chose a rectangular "boxy" form factor with lots of hard lines to maximise volume and pack as much electronics as possible. Gizmodo promised to provide with more details in a future article.
Jason Chen, the reviewer, said that the back was entirely flat made either of glass or ceramic or shiny plastic but later said that Apple apparently opted for a black plastic back instead.
This reminded us of an article by John Gruber of Daring Fireball about a patent filed by Apple back in 2006 which covered high durability ceramic enclosures which ressemble glass but are far more resistant and stronger.
Shedding Aluminium will possibly to improve reception yet Gizmodo says that it feels much less plasticky than the iPhone 3GS. That said, either glass or ceramic have lower density than Aluminium (between 2 and 2.6g/cc compared to 2.7g/cc).
Gizmodo says that the new iPhone 4G design is back to basics and the shape actually reminds us of the iPod 5G. There's also an aluminium border going all around the phone and interrupted only by the various holes for microphone, volume buttons, connectors etc.
The iphone 4G prototype dimensions are 4.50 by 2.31 by 0.37 inches while the old ones were 4.5 by 2.4 by 0.48 inches; so slightly thicker and wider.
Finally, the iPhone 4G is a tad heavier than the previous version as well at 140g vs 135g for the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G. Note though that this could well be a prototype rather than the final version of the iPhone 4G so things may change.

ColorChecker charts are offered in various sizes and forms. The chart is beneficial for providing information about urine color that might let you know if you're afflicted by ailment. These steps show the way the Ral color chart may be used. It is crucial to remember that the Ral color chart is an unaffiliated system not affiliated to any organization or brand. It's an easy-to-read and understand color chart that it is easy to decipher with the aid of specific color details. HTML color code charts have plenty of benefits. They can easily be found in the internet.
Select the template you want to work with. Aside from our html color codes, you can also want to browse through our Pantone Color Chart Template and utilize it like a reference for different kinds of pantone colours. If you're on the lookout for some HTML codes to add excitement to your site, you've come to the correct place. HTML can do plenty of neat things, in addition to just creating a site. Learning HTML by itself can be extremely tough.
This table shows all the web-safe" colors. This table indicates the 16 primary colors supported by the majority of browsers. You're able to use a fast reference table that will help you choose from among the many color tables out there. It is possible to use a fast reference table to select from among the many other color tables out there.
There were not too different palettes being used in various browsers. Each finished color palette includes a distinct ID and the capacity to share to numerous social channels. It is extremely important to not just know the color that you wish to submit an application for a particular design but to also be attentive to the color code that's assigned to it. Click the color changer tool that is responsible of altering the color of anything you've selected. The color can be chosen from the worldwide chart which acts as a standard. You can alter the background color of an HTML element with background and you might also alter the color of an HTML element with color.
The second color selection process is more precise, although it might appear a little tedious. The different colors may also help toddlers with recognition of all of the colours of the rainbow. Whenever someone lets you know they want something to be red, blue, green or another color there's an issue.
Colors vary in character depending on their environment. Warm colours, when combined with one another, act to make proximity, a feeling of well being and seem charged with energy. Be aware that, in some instances, a given color is also associated with a different thing. Anyway, there are several colors to select from. Employing web safe colors can offer a bright and bold appearance, and may bring a fresh new appearance to your site!

Halloweden spells positive potions and freaky fun this half term
Halloweden at the Eden Project in Cornwall promises to be an absolute scream with a cauldron full of fun activities over the half-term holidays (October 24 to November 1).
The much-loved annual spook-tacular invites all the family to get involved in a web of magical craft activities and dares them to be scared.
Visitors will go on a mystical journey through the world-famous Biomes on a quest to brew up a special positive potion.
First stop will be to collect a scroll and a vial on arrival at the Visitor Centre. After that they can head to the Rainforest Biome and begin to create their own positive potion.
Next stop is to mix it altogether and create some magic in the world of wonder and intrigue in the Wishcraft Tent, which comes complete with its very own Tunnel of Terrors and gallery of craftily-carved pumpkins.
Here, visitors can brew up some bubbles, learn how to make a wand and enjoy spine-tingling shadow puppet plays.
To add to the Halloweden fun, there will be face-painting, performances and storytelling throughout the week.
There is also the chance to meet some amazing feathered friends courtesy of the Screech Owl Sanctuary, and wood carvery demonstrations in the Core education centre.
In keeping with the Halloweden theme, there will be plenty of ghoulish grub on the menu, including monster ribs, gory guts sausages, roasted bat wings, Day of the Dead vegetable enchiladas, creepy coleslaw, eyeball pizzas and a selection of spooky cakes and sweet treats.
A highlight of the week will be the Little Monsters' Ball Halloween disco party on Saturday October 31, a chance to deck out in fancy dress for a spooky evening of fang-tastic fun.
There'll be plenty of creepy activities, tasty treats in the cafes and a bone-shaking disco in the Olive Grooveyard.
Eden's ice rink will also be opening from Saturday October 17, with skating slots available throughout the Halloweden period and beyond.
Chris Pritchard, Eden's Interpretation Production Manager, said: "There's lots of new spookiness at Halloweden this year - it's is a week of witch-crafty fun for all the family. We think people will especially love our Positive Potion workshops where you can make a special brew to keep somewhere safe or give to someone you love. And we think everyone will be nicely haunted by all the activities in the Biomes and the tent.
"Our fabulous ice rink will be open – and that is sure to chill you to the bone.
"The Little Monsters' Ball is a hugely popular event on our calendar and we would advise people to book early as tickets tend to go quickly."
All Halloweden activities are included in the standard Eden Project admission price, with the exception of Little Monsters' Ball, which costs £7 per person and ice skating sessions which cost £6 per person.
At the Little Monsters' Ball, children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult at all times while on site, with a maximum of four children per adult.
Tickets can be booked through www.edenproject.com.

Bethesda has released the official in-game intro for Fallout 76, the next multiplayer-focused title set in the long-running Fallout universe. Additionally, we've got some details on the upcoming beta test for the game below.
The game is releasing next month on November 14th for PS4, Xbox One and PC, but if you'd like to play it sooner there's a beta test available to those who pre-order the game. Read more about this below.
We're excited to announce that our B.E.T.A. (Break-It Early Test Application) will arrive first on Xbox One on Tuesday, October 23, and one week later for PlayStation 4 and PC players on Tuesday, October 30.
During the B.E.T.A. one of our primary goals is to stress test and break the game. As such, the servers will not be running 24/7; instead, they'll be online during targeted timeframes so we can get as many people as possible playing at the same time. Why? Because that's the best way to put all our systems to the test and see how they respond.
On any given day the game might be up for anywhere between four to eight hours. Focusing as many players as we can into these windows is our prime objective. Then we'll fix what we need to fix and do it again and again from the start of B.E.T.A. until a few days before launch. We'll give you as much heads up as possible because we need you to log in during these times and play the game. We'll also keep you posted through our official @Fallout and @bethesdastudios on Twitter as well as the Bethesda.net forums and our Bethesda.net Status Page to learn when servers will be online.
While the adventures you and your friends will experience will all be unique, you'll start the same as everyone else: within the safe confines of Vault 76 on Reclamation Day. For the very first time, we're excited to share how your journey will begin…
And we'd like for you to share your own journeys. From the very start of the B.E.T.A., beginning on October 23, you will be free to stream and talk about all your experiences with Fallout 76 with the rest of the world.
This is an exciting new journey for Fallout – and for us! During the B.E.T.A., you will likely see a glorious array of issues; many we know about, and many we don't. We need your help in getting the game ready for launch and beyond. We think you will love playing the game as much as we do – and your continued feedback is critical to craft the long-term experience over the years to come. For additional details on the B.E.T.A., please see our updated B.E.T.A. FAQ.
As you wait for B.E.T.A. to begin, we will be showcasing much more of the game in the next few weeks, including tips for multiplayer, wasteland survival, character builds & customization and more! Plus gameplay. Lots and lots of gameplay. Keep an eye on the Fallout website and social channels for news and updates about Fallout 76.
Our future begins… together.

This course teaches delegates how write clearly, precisely and economically. It presents the key elements of good writing: everything from good grammar and syntax to avoiding cliches and bureaucratic language. It shows how to write strong, clear sentences and how to construct effective paragraphs. It recaps the standard rules of grammar and emphasises the importance of accurate punctuation and vocabulary. It shows writers the difference between good and bad writing - and teaches them how to analyse their own writing, the prerequisite to putting it right. Like all our courses, it is based on the delegates' writing levels. It will help those whose grasp of writing principles may be shaky, as well as those writing to an accomplished level who wish to improve their skills.
We have had excellent results in delivering this course both to journalists and to staff who are required to communicate internally and externally in their work. It is especially helpful for the "post-grammar" generation - those who never formally learned the basics of grammar, syntax and vocabulary.
An essential guide to the tools and techniques of proof reading, including the standard proof-reading and copy-editing marks, and such topics as keeping check lists and cutting and making lines. The course emphasises the importance of absolute accuracy in specialist and technical writing, and of maintaining the highest professional standards. Practical exercises reinforce these lessons through the day.
The one-day course also provides a reminder of the principles of Standard English. It can be delivered over half a day if it is combined with the one-day English for Writers course. Proof reading calls on many skills, not least a proficient level of basic English, and delegates who proof read to the highest standards need a sound grasp of grammar, syntax and punctuation.
Delegates learn how to write promotional and marketing material that is credible, persuasive, and catches a potential client's attention. The course combines elements from the writing and journalism courses to demonstrate how to create copy where every word is telling and effective. It outlines key presentational principles in producing a range of promotional material, both in print and for the new media, where the appearance of professionalism is paramount.
This course has provided effective training in marketing, public relations and publicity departments.Top of Page
A guide to how to write effective press releases, bearing in mind the needs of both the client for whom the release is written and the media to which it is directed. In an intensive and highly practical day, delegates learn the importance of news values in identifying the headline of their news release and the story it tells. The course explains how to grab the attention of busy editors and reporters, and what turns a release into good media copy, emphasising the need for clear, concise writing. Delegates will also learn how to target press releases and how to encourage follow-ups.
The course is especially useful for being taught by trainers who have worked on both sides of the fence - as writers of press releases, and as those who receive them. The importance of providing accurate background information and the impact of different forms of lay-out are part of the agenda.Top of Page
This course introduces the principles of reporting and news gathering for delegates starting out in journalism. It covers such basic reporting topics as: research and collecting information; handling press conferences and finding stories in press releases; how to approach interviews; access and obstruction; cold-calling and door-stepping; building contacts and networks; an outline of journalistic regulations and media law. It also discusses theories of news values and looks at the opening steps in shaping and writing news reports.
This course is particularly useful for publications with writers from specialist backgrounds but little direct experience of journalism. It also helps non-journalists who may be considering a career move to journalism.Top of Page
NEWS WRITING - basic and advanced
Basic news writing covers the fundamental principles and techniques of news writing: how to craft the crucial first sentence, how to structure and prioritise the rest of the story. It stresses the importance of the six key questions reporters must answer - what, why, when, how, where, and who - and discusses the value of the pyramid structure. It is a heavily practical day, using writing exercises to reinforce the key points. It is especially useful in showing specialist writers how to find strong stories in their chosen territory, and will help all delegates become confident in making news judgements.
Advanced news writing takes delegates into the theory and practice of complex news structures, covering such topics as: stories with twin themes; event and significance ('what' and 'real what'); look-ahead leads; the use of chronology, or keeping 'when' straight; background and context; how to handle running stories; and questions of jargon, accessibility, and reach. It discusses how to handle different kinds of evidence and how to use the key terms of attribution. It looks at the role of the news feature and how the genre is defined.
The advanced course is suitable for experienced reporters as well as for sub-editors and editors seeking to extend their skills in handling contributors' stories. It draws on Peter Gillman's experience of writing lead stories and news features for the Sunday Times, Mail on Sunday and others.Top of Page
FEATURE WRITING - basic and advanced
The basic course presents the theory and practice of writing features from scratch. How do features differ from news? How do you write an attention-grabbing first sentence? How do you identify your story line, and how do you sustain it through your piece? The course equips trainees with the language to discuss feature writing, in particular the key elements of story and structure. It shows how to write an outline, how to use characters to tell stories, and how to obtain and use the best quotes. It encourages writers to try out different approaches to feature writing, and to develop and express their areas of expertise. Where appropriate, the course will include a critique of their current work and suggest ways of building on what they have achieved so far.
The advanced course reinforces the lessons of the basic course and moves on to more complex and ambitious structures. It looks at different forms of narrative, implicit and explicit structures, effective set-ups, and the importance of sign-posting an argument. It discusses significance and impact, hooks and pegs, and how to conceive and write the crucial nut graf. It shows how to obtain the most effective quotes and how to use the language of affect. It also looks at the briefing process, how to write outlines, how to deal with deadlines, the use of boxes, the visual element and how to keep your editor happy.
This course is often most effective when combined with a follow-up day, conducted either as a group or as one-on-one sessions, which considers features delegates have written since the course. As well as providing delegates with encouragement, this helps to reinforce the key principles imparted on the original course.Top of Page
INTERVIEWING - basic and advanced
The journalistic interview in theory and practice. The core of both courses is a role-playing interview with one of the trainers acting as interviewee. We analyse the interview to examine how trainees present themselves, their body-language, whether they have established a rapport with the interviewee, how they structure their questions, and how well they follow up the answers. The basic course stresses the importance of preparing for the interview and setting a coherent agenda. It also discusses the etiquette and conventions of interviewing, understanding terms such as on and off the record, whether to use a notebook or tape-recorder, and what to do when the recorder goes wrong.
The advanced course also involves a role-playing interview, but this time the delegates are likely to encounter problems: their interviewee may prove garrulous or taciturn, evasive or discursive, aggressive or rude. The course will show delegates how to deal with all these difficulties. It will also look at the dynamics of the interview, how to locate the interviewee's wave-length and hot spots, where it takes off and where it can go wrong. It compares face-to-face with telephone interviews and examines how the dynamics of a telephone interview may differ. It discusses the art of asking leading questions, when - and whether - to bluff, and what to say when the interviewee asks to see the interview before it is printed.
As always, these courses can be tailored to meet the needs and working practices of the delegates concerned. We have developed particular expertise in role-playing interviews on medical and pharmaceutical subjects.Top of Page
The course is for reporters and editors who want to move into the demanding and rewarding area of exposition and revelation. It covers developing contacts and networks; how to extract information from nervous sources; the art of asking leading questions; building information systematically, scrutinising gaps and contradictions; how to handle shortages of time and resource, and how to deal with external pressures.
It will update the ever-changing law on intrusion, privacy, copyright and qualified privilege, and will describe the new opportunities available under the recent Reynolds principles governing how journalists should conduct enquiries. It also examines the value of group journalism - are several heads better than one? It will help journalists to set the agendas in their specialist fields, enabling them to break important stories, win headlines, and improve the reputation of their publications for their authority and expertise.
Peter Gillman is ideally placed to deliver this course, with the combination of his long experience with the Sunday Times Insight team during the Harold Evans era, and the succession of major investigative features and books he has written since. He uses lessons and examples from his own work to illustrate the issues arising during the course.Top of Page
SUB-EDITING (Subbing)
A technical and closely directed day concentrating on the basic skills of sub-editing and the range they cover: readability, accuracy, consistency, and journalistic flair. We show how to ensure that writers' material is concise and clear, with thoughts focused, sentences sharpened, ambiguities and redundancies removed, grammar and syntax sorted, and the structure and story-line sustained. The course covers the technical points that are likely to crop up under the heading of house style, from the form of dates and proper names to business and scientific terminology. It can cover both news and feature writing, and also offers a bridge into the more creative editorial processes involved in rewriting.Top of Page
An introduction to one of the most valuable - and least recognised - of an editor's skills: how to reshape a poorly written or badly structured article so that it becomes a coherent and persuasive piece of writing. The course gives delegates practical examples to work on and introduces the technical skill known as deconstruction: working out how a piece has gone wrong and how to put it right. It also examines the briefing process which is where the original problem may have arisen. The course is especially useful in plugging the gap that frequently exists between the roles of sub-editor and commissioning editor.Top of Page
This course complements the course in investigative journalism, presenting an outline of the key elements of media law, covering libel and slander, confidence, copyright, intrusion and privacy. It is not possible to cover every nuance and facet of the law in a day and so the course is intended to present the basic principles of media law and alert journalists and editors to when they are moving into sensitive territory. where alarm bills should ring. It also covers the latest developments in the ever-changing state of the law. These include the impact of the new Reynolds principles and how they affect qualified privilege, and the latest state of play in the definition and implications of the European Human Rights Act and its effect on journalists' work.
A working knowledge of the minefield of media law is essential for everyone in the newspaper and magazine business. This course demonstrates the risks and pitfalls of the territory, giving delegates the opportunity to ask questions and discuss the current issues in media law.

Samsung has started sending out invitations for the upcoming Galaxy Note 3 announcement. Set to kick off on September 4, the emails are tagged as "Note the date" instead of the oft-used "save the date". The play on words could not be any more obvious; we've expected the Note 3 to debut this day for a few weeks now.
The Samsung Unpacked 2013 Episode 2 takes place on the eve of IFA 2013, an annual trade event in Berlin, Germany. The Galaxy Note 3 is rumored to include a screen size of 5.5-inches up to 6.3-inches and has also been tied to 3GB RAM, and Samsung's new Exynos 5 Octa-core CPU. We'll find out in less than one month just how big and powerful the next generation of hybrid experience truly can be.
As is the case with other recent Samsung events, there will be a live soiree taking place in New York at the same time. And, of course, you'll be able to watch along at YouTube.com/SamsungMobile

Public Safety: This is My First Priority. I am dedicated to keeping Arcadia a safe place to live, do business and raise a family. That's why I've been endorsed by our local police officers and fire fighters.
Mansionization: I believe in property rights on both sides of the fence. I do not believe someone should have to sacrifice their privacy or their quality of life to retain their property value. I believe there is a rational way to come to a solution. I am against the over building of property and developers quest for extreme greater population density in Arcadia. I have attended zoning public forums in Arcadia, with diverse age and race participants. I know a reasonable compromise can be found through a Citizen's Zoning Committee. Mansionization or the over building of property in Arcadia, was an old issue when I first ran for Council 10 years ago and it has never received the attention it deserves. I spent 8 years on the Arcadia City Council striving to get a fair resolution. As Mayor, I met with San Marino to learn how they dealt with it. The most I could get was Citywide Neighbor Notification, which is only a start. That is also why I feel it is imperative that we elect two people to the Council who comprehend the problem and want to resolve it.
Downtown Arcadia: Arcadians want a downtown that they can be proud of. I want to support the small business owners in Downtown Arcadia and help create more foot traffic to the area. I made it my issue, as mayor, to put new life in the Downtown Arcadia area. I am still active with the Downtown Arcadia Improvement Association and plan to see it succeed.
Fiscal Responsibility: I respect and treat the taxpayers' money as if it was my own. While on the City Council I often stood alone, voting against fiscal waste like the Longevity Bonuses, a unilateral deal that gave away over a half a million dollars of Arcadian's money annually, in perpetuity, with Arcadia getting nothing in return. Similarly, I was the only Councilman to vote against the increase in the Utility Users Tax. I feel we are taxed enough already.
Integrity: The motto of my company is "Refrigerated Service with Integrity." "Service with Integrity" is more than a motto to me, it is the way to live. The integrity of Arcadia's Council has been questioned lately and our Community has been torn apart. I can and I will work to mend Arcadia. To me Public Service is all about what I can give to my community, not how I can personally benefit.
Our Families: Arcadia's motto is "A Community of Homes." To me Arcadia is a Community of Families and the Family is the Cornerstone of a solid society. My actions and voting are always done with the family in mind.

The kombucha mushroom has been as a natural remedy in Asia and Russia for centuries. Its popularity as an "immortal health elixir" is constantly growing. According to studies carried out in Russia, the ingredients of the mushroom have expressed antibiotic and cleansing properties.
There is evidence that kombucha clears the blood, prevents the formation of intestinal gas, increases the number of T cells, strengthens the immune system, thickens the hair and maintains its color.
Kombucha contains many different organic acids (lactic, acetic, gluconic, glucuronic, malic acid, and ethanol), found in laboratory tests conducted in France; active enzymes (lactase and invertase), amino acids (which bind to mucopolysaccharides and form intercellular fluid, which acts as a "lubricant" in the joints.
The high content of glucuronic acid and vitamins B1, B2 and B6 make the kombucha mushroom a powerful therapeutic and refreshing agent.

text: A Heat Wave from the "Festival to Share Life" Swept over the Global VillageBlood is life. So we can say that blood donation is the noblest practice to give love and life to others. However, during summer and winter when people rarely donate blood, patients suffer from shortage of blood reserves regardless of which country they live in. To help the neighbors whose life is at risk if they do not receive blood transfusion, the Intl. WeLoveU Foundation's blood drive was held in various regions of the world. Starting with the 16th blood drive held in Suwon, Korea, on July 2, the Worldwide Blood Drive was conducted 117 times in 40 major cities throughout the world until the 132nd blood drive was held in Denver, Colorado, USA, on September 4. a total of 17,949 people, mainly the WeLoveU Foundation members, took part in the drive and 8,702 people among them were qualified to donate blood. As well as donating blood, they donated 4,407 donor cards. In Korea, a total of 7,695 people participated in the blood drive in Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Incheon, Gwangju, Ulsan, Suwon, Yongin, Gangneung, Chungju, Jeonju and Jinju. Outside of Korea, a total of 10,254 people in 100 cities of 39 countries of the world—India, Nepal, Mongolia, China, Taiwan, Japan, Thailand, Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, USA, Peru, Mexico, Paraguay, Bolivia, Colombia, Argentina, Guatemala, Ecuador, Panama, El Salvador, Venezuela, Chile, Brazil, UK, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Australia, New Zealand, Rep. of South Africa, Ghana, Benin, Togo, Zambia and Malawi—participated in the drive. Most of the blood drives were conducted in hospitals or blood centers, and to draw citizens' participation, some of them were held in the city halls, town squares or parks where many people gather. The 37th blood drive hosted by the Gangneung branch, Korea, was held in Gangneung Gymnasium and air force base at the same time unprecedentedly, so many citizens and soldiers could unite their minds to save lives. Every blood drive was in a festive mood as the members volunteered to donate their blood with a joyful heart and they held campaign to the citizens. When there was the 105th blood drive in Kolkata, India, the members not only donated blood in good order and with joy, but also cleaned the place after finishing the drive. This surprised the hospital staff, so they said, "This is amazing. I've never seen this kind of volunteer organization that helps people with sincerity." When the 34th blood drive was held in Las Americas Hospital in Medellin, Colombia, the WeLoveU's Foundation's volunteer service activities and the blood drive were broadcast on TV for four consecutive days before the event, so it enlightened the importance of blood drive to the citizens. And when the 31st blood drive that was held in Kist Hospital in Kathmandu, Nepal, invited guests and hospital staff such as the Representative of Nepal Freedom Solidarity, the chief editor of a monthly magazine, doctors and nurses participated in the blood drive. They said, "This is by far the largest blood drive in history of Nepal. We were deeply moved." When the 78th blood drive was held in Manila, Philippines, Alfredo S. Lim the Mayor of the city of Manila visited the spot and encouraged 500 WeLoveU Foundation members and citizens. It even happened that some volunteers could not donate blood due to the lack of bed at the largest blood drive ever recorded. At the 82nd blood drive, the city government of Dallas, TX, USA, supported the members to use the city hall for the drive; the city officials and councilors were moved by the members' donating blood and they notified of their intention that they wanted to support the WeLoveU's other activities in the future. "If it were not for the WeLoveU Foundation's blood drive, we could not save many lives." The staff from the blood centers and hospitals, who helped the blood drive, did not stop praising the Foundation. The members who were willing to donate blood said, "We can save precious lives when we overcome fear and pain for an instance," and talked about how proud they were because they could give life to others, wearing a bright smile. Even now, the happy festival to give love—the WeLoveU Foundation's blood drive—is being done in various places of our global village. <Asia> <North America> <South America> <Europe, Africa, Oceania> 관련영상BACKLISTOTHER ACTIVITIES Provision of Relief Goods to Typhoon Victims in Samcheok, Uljin, and YeongdeokBlankets, rice, groceries, and daily necessities for their warm winter 2019-12-18 The 20th New Life ConcertShake off worries and inspire hopes for twenty years—the key is the love of a mother 2019-12-02 The 16th Kimchi-Making Festival with the Heart of MotherDelivering the love of a mother through wholeheartedly-made delicious, nutritious kimchi 2019-11-06 Remodeling the Library of 79th School in Bayanzurkh District, Mongolia, and Provision of School SuppliesTurning an old library into a place for happy learning 2019-09-12 Donation of Food in Celebration of Chuseok 2019Have a happy holiday in the love of a mother! 2019-09-10 Intl.

Faithful friends, I have a request for you. Please, if you value your ability to continue to thrive on meat, consider donating or becoming a patron of my good friend, Alexander Danes. Alex is writing up some research that hopes to debunk commonly-held misconceptions associated with meat consumption and sustainability.
There's a GoFundMe currently active, and if you'd be especially noble, you can make a monthly Patreon pledge to support his continued efforts (with a PayPal option included).
Click here to donate on GoFundMe.

I am not affiliated in any way with this research, other than being a fan of it and a friend. I'm trying to help my friend. No obligation, and I absolutely understand if it's not in the budget, but this needed to be shared, and I appreciate you at least taking the time to read this.

Today, Tuesday, December 19, 2017, I am grateful for my little community and how generous it is. I went to Walmart today and when I arrived, I found out that the line of people that almost reached the parking lot was of kids seeing Santa plus doing the "Shop with a Cop" program. The community fundraises through the year and at Christmas, the kids get to Christmas shop with an officer. There must have been a good 40 or 50 kids there benefitting from this program in my town. I am proud to be part of this community.
What are you grateful for today?
I would LOVE to hear ALL about it!
