Frederick Delius (1862-1934)
Frederick Albert Theodore Delius CH was an English composer born in Bradford on January 29th 1862. Although born in England, Frederick Delius felt little attraction for the country of his birth and spent most of his life abroad, mainly in the United States and in France.
Delius's parents were immigrants from Bielefeld in Germany who had come to Bradford to set themselves up in the woollen business. Frederick Delius ('Fritz' to his family, 'Fred' to his friends) was the fourth of their fourteen children.
Although Frederick showed early musical promise, his father was very much set against a musical career and wanted Delius to work in the family business. Julius Delius eventually sent Frederick (apparently at Frederick's request) to be the manager of a grapefruit plantation at Solano Grove in Florida. After spending some time in Florida, Delius taught music in Virginia and eventually moved to New York.
After his stay in New York, his father finally agreed to allow him a musical education, and consented to send him to Leipzig to study at the conservatory. He was befriended there by Edvard Grieg, who encouraged him and became a lifelong friend. In 1907 he met Thomas Beecham, who was to be the greatest champion of Delius's music in the English-speaking world and who described Delius as "the last great apostle of romantic beauty in music".
Some of his best-known works include: On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring, Brigg Fair ('An English Rhapsody'), In A Summer Garden, North Country Sketches, Florida Suite, Sea Drift, and The Walk to the Paradise Garden.

|Error with incremental load
|Mon, 17 Oct 2005 15:35:31 GMT
Hi all, Was just wondering if anyone has come across this or if I'm doing something wrong here. On initial load of my index, I can close the writer and delete an entry and then update an entry, then open the writer again and go on to the next entry etc. Then while searching, everything that was deleted is gone and updated has been changed (ex insert record 1.. delete record 1 a few hundred inserts later). The problem occurs when I try to do an incremental change. I try to delete 1 record, which seems to work, however, my searcher with sort then gets errors (no terms in field stock - cannot determine sort type). I'm not sure why the delete would work on the initial load but not on a later load. BTW eventhough my search routine is messed up in code.. LUKE still sees the records correctly.. I'm baffled.. Anyone have any ideas without me posting code? Thanks ahead of time, Tom --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

Iranian parliament speaker sympathizes with Spain on terrorist attacks
Tehran, Aug 18, Iranian parliament (Majlis) speaker on Friday sympathized with the Spain people, government and parliament on terrorist attacks in the country which claimed the lives of 13 people.
'Such inhumane actions demonstrate spread of unrest, violence and blind terrorism in the world today and proves the importance of global consensus for decisive action against terrorism,' Ali Larijani said in messages cabled to President of the Spain Congress of Deputies Ana Maria Pastor Julian and President of the Spain Senate Pio Garcia-Escudero.
Larijani said that 'These incidents are the result of some wealthy and powerful countries' wrong support for terrorist and extremist groups.'
He voiced hope that terrorists' sponsors are awakened by the consequences of their encouragement for them and cut their support for terrorists.
Larijani expressed hope that with establishment of peace and security and eradication of terrorists across the world, such inhumane actions are not repeated again.
Barcelona was the scene of a deadly terrorist attack, claimed by Daesh (ISIS), on Thursday night in which a car rammed into pedestrians, killing 13 people and injuring more than 100.
In another attack the same night Spanish police were targeted at a check point.
On Friday morning, just hours after the previous attacks, six people were hurt when a car drove into them in Cambrils, 120 kilometres south of Barcelona.

Setting your graphic design rates is no easy task. It's something that stops most freelance graphic designers in their tracks. Especially for freelance rates, graphic design has some nuances that should be considered. Whilst using conventional freelance rates calculators may provide a loose ballpark figure, it can often be way off the mark. Here is our guide to help you find your true worth and hit that pricing sweet spot.
Setting your graphic design rates is no easy task. It's something that stops most freelance graphic designers in their tracks. Especially for freelance rates, graphic design has some nuances that should be considered. Whilst using conventional freelance rates calculators may provide a loose ballpark figure, it can often be way off the mark. Here is our guide to help you find your true worth and hit that pricing sweet spot.
Setting freelance graphic design rates is a challenge and something that is vital to get right from the start. Charging too much or too little can have a long-term impact on your freelance business. We've found that using an online freelance calculator can be misleading as there are too many unquantifiable factors.
Are you looking to hire a freelance Graphic Designer? Click here to post a project and receive freelance rates directly from the designers.
However, for those who are into ballpark figures, the average hourly rate for a freelance graphic designer in the UK is around £40.
Day rates tend to be a little lower. This offers the client more value and provides the freelance graphic designer with more chargeable hours. The day rate, when using online freelance calculators for graphic design rates, also takes into account your location, experience, and age. We, at Freelancer Club, tend not to put too much emphasis on all of these factors (nor do the employers who use our service) so take from that what you will. If your work is strong, your price is right and communication is clear throughout, you've got a good chance of landing the job!
Using a range of online tools, the average daily rate of a London based freelance Graphic Designer with 4 - 5 years of experience, aged between 29 - 34 is around £220 (£27.50 per hour). We feel this is too low and doesn't take into account a number of key components. Our data shows an average day rate for someone with similar experience to be closer to £300.
There are a few ways you can figure out your hourly rate and many schools of thought on how much to charge a client, however, we have yet to find a calculator or formula that can do it for you. Here are the things to consider when setting your Graphic Design rate.
Setting an hourly rate or quoting project by project?
Hourly Rate
Setting hourly rates has one main advantage over setting graphic design rates per project and that is that you will be paid for the work you do regardless of the time it takes. A fussy client can be as fussy as he or she wishes, the Graphic Designer will still get paid and, most likely, welcome the extra hours. It does, however, come with a level of trust that the freelancer is billing accurately and not taking advantage of the client. Employers (particularly those running startups or small businesses) have a major problem with freelancers who try to bamboozle them with jargon or fail to show their workings when the bill arrives. One way to combat this is to manage the client's expectations from day one.
You might say that a project will take 2 days, including 3 drafts, and 1 redesign all within the price. Anything over this and your hourly rate will kick in. What you don't want is for the project to get out of hand and the client to lose trust in you or your service. Professionalism, communication, and respect, generally leads to repeat business or referrals. It's far easier to retain a client than it is to land a new one. Check out time management Apps like Timely or Monday. These tools ensure that you're being transparent and the client can see what they are paying for.
A simple looking logo design may come with a very picky client who requests multiple changes and reworks. Protecting yourself against this type of overflow is paramount to your survival (more on this later). First and foremost, it's a good idea to know your hourly rate.
How To Set Your Graphic Design Rate
As a freelancer, you should be charging for your flexibility, quality, experience, and delivery. As a guide, here are a few figures to help you find your sweet spot.
In full-time employment, the starting salary for junior graphic designers is around £15,000 to £19,000 per year, this can rise to £27,000 with some experience. A middleweight graphic designer can command £25,000 to £35,000. Whilst the salary for senior graphic designer ranges from £35,000 to £55,000. If you work as a freelancer, you can earn anything between £200 and £400 per day with experience. The rate should increase as you grow, gain experience and become more in demand.
Project (Flat) Rate
Some freelance graphic designers believe in asking the client for their budget and charge whatever a client is willing to pay you. The slight danger in this approach is if any two clients were to discuss their project with one another and felt there was a discrepancy in the price, it wouldn't reflect well on the graphic designer. It's highly unlikely this scenario would ever arise, however, with integrity and word of mouth such important aspects for freelance graphic designers, quoting per project should still have a level consistency that a graphic designer can justify.
In cases when the client does not provide a budget, setting a flat rate for a piece of work takes skill. Start by obtaining as much information from the client as possible. This may include their expectations, deadline, usage, and format. The next aspect is to manage their expectations that you can lay out in your contract. These may include the number of changes before you begin to bill for overtime, your hourly rate (see above) and the consequences of missing deadline.
Give yourself a little wiggle room.
Your flat rate probably needs to be higher than you think. Let's imagine your hourly rate is £50 and you think a piece of work will take 1.5 hours, you may want to quote £100 in case you go over (and you probably will). There's almost always an 'extra change' that has to be made and those extra changes add up.
Researching rates & the Gig Economy
5 years ago, the first step when researching rates would be to compare your prices with competitors in your local area. For example, in London, experienced graphic designers charge between £250 to £500 per day. However, freelance graphic design work is not always location specific and it's not uncommon to be quoting against global applicants for a remote piece of work.
The gig economy has thrown everything up in the air and Graphic Designers are regularly being undercut by those with lower overheads, newbies to the industry or those who don't know their worth. In these cases, our data shows that employers rarely choose the cheapest option. The quality of the work is still at the forefront of an employers decision when hiring a freelance graphic designer whilst professionalism, communication and creativity are not far behind.
Graphic Designers, like most creative freelancers, must now adapt to the new world of remote workers. We interviewed hundreds of employers who highlighted the importance of delivering a piece of work on time. They also valued regular communication, particularly at the start of a project when discussing the brief, as one of their top priorities. Freelance Graphic Design rates should not have to drop to compete with the global market so long as one recognises how the value of their services has shifted.
When you set your desired salary, remember to be realistic. Clients will want to see a good level of experience and a solid graphic design portfolio to justify higher freelance rates.
Undercutting the Market
When setting freelance rates graphic design is a competitive area to work in. Some clients ask designers to propose a price on a project-by-project basis with a skeleton brief. This is incredibly difficult when starting out as a freelancer, it's also often advantageous for the client as they know you'll try to be competitive and hold you at a cheap rate.
If clients try to push down your freelance rates, stand firm. Some clients don't understand the costs behind operating as a freelance graphic designer and the years of experience you have built up to perfect your skill set. Ultimately, they're not worth it - but you are.

There's no doubt that Ed Sheeran is an extremely talented person. His albums Plus (+) and Divide (÷), have topped the charts and shattered records. With Sheeran's massive success it's hard to imagine a time when he wasn't a world famous singer with millions of fans and followers.
However, recently Sheeran spoke of his humble beginnings and the obstacles and challenges he has overcome in his life at the "American Institute for Stuttering's Freeing Voices Changing Lives Benefit Gala."
Sheeran started his speech by saying…
"I was a very, very, very weird child.I had a port-wine stain birthmark on my face that I got lasered off when I was very young. One day, they forgot to put the anesthetic on, and ever since then, I had a stutter. I also had very big, blue NHS glasses."
He went on to talk about embracing who you are, why it's okay to be different, and not to give into the pressures of fitting in.
"Most of the people that are successful started life off as a weird kid with no friends,"
Sheeran talked about how he was able to get rid of his stutter by memorizing music. He then encouraged the kids in the audience that they shouldn't be ashamed of stuttering and being different.
He went on to say…
"Even if you have quirks and weirdness, you shouldn't be worried about that. Just be yourself because there's no one in the world that can be a better you than you, and if you try to be the cool kid from class you'll end up being very boring."

Best vlogging camera under 200
Like many other vloggers, you must think about the price and quality of cameras that can help you capture the moment of life effectively. To do so, you should equip yourself with the quality one. However, sometimes the price can say something about the quality, but not in all cases. Actually, if you have limited or fixed budget, you can start with the affordable ones that can help you get acceptable videos in quality.
Vlogging has become popular with the rise of social media sites. If you've been living under a rock, a vlog (video blog), is a blog that contains video content. In the past, blogs were pretty common, but it was all filled with text and pictures. Today however, when you surf the internet, you will see vlogs left and right. You see them being shared in Facebook or Twitter. The main reason behind the rise of popularity of vlogs is the dip in the cost of equipment, supporting software and hosting. A lot of hosting companies can now host websites for a very low price. Plus, video-capable cameras have risen tremendously. So if you are looking to make your own vlog and you've got the software and hosting service setup already, all you need now is a nice camera that can take your videos. Here's where we can help. If you have a limited budget, here are some of the best vlogging camers under 200 dollars.
Canon Powershot SX140 IS
- 0 Megapixel sensor and Canon DIGIC 4+ Image Processor
- Powerful 40x Optical Zoom (24–960mm) and 24mm Wide-Angle lens
- 720p HD video at up to 25 frames per second with clear sound
- 0-inch LCD screen with a great resolution of approximately 230,000 dots
- ECO Mode to provide more shots per single charge
- Good 1080p video quality
- Great for Indoor and Outdoor Shooting
- Average battery backup
- No flip screen
- No external microphone
- No front mic
The Canon Powershot SX140 IS has a compact size with a zoom of 40X. SX140 IS has manual focus which is very important. The drawback is, videos will be low resolution. Its performance in the low light is also not so good. But despite these flaws, it is one of the five best cameras below 200$. You want to know why? It's because of the manual adjustment of camera focus which is not present in cameras with such a low price range. This is perfect if your vlogging is only a hobby and you have a limited budget.
Nikon Coolpix L840
- 38x optical zoom telephoto lens with Vibration Reduction; 76x dynamic fine zoom
- Low-light 16MP CMOS image sensor
- 0-inch 921,000-dot Tilt LCD display
- Full HD 1080p videos with stereo sound
- Built-in Wi-Fi and Near Field Communication technology for instant sharing
- Great 1080p quality
- Tilted flip screen
- No external microphone
- No front Mic
- Average battery life
This compact and small camera will shoot brilliant videos even in dim light conditions. It has almost no flaws. It is great for indoors shooting and has Wi-Fi capabilities built-in. Plus, it has a good flip screen. Manual focus is not available. What makes this camera great is its low-light capabilities. That's an important factor to consider when vlogging.
GoPro HERO
- Record video at 1080p or 1440p at 60 or 30 frames per second (fps) in MP4 at 60Mbps
- Snap 10-megapixel photos
- Burst shoot at 10fps
- Capture time-lapse photos and video at 0.5-second intervals
- Small in Size
- They're rugged
- Wide-Angle
- Poor battery life
- No Zoom
GoPro has basically carried vlogging to where it is at right now. The wide-angle shots that the GoPro Hero takes is basically second to none. Despite some of its flaws, the cost-effectiveness together with its resiliency of use that the GoPro Hero has is something that is highly appreciable and desirable especially when it comes to new vloggers. If you are on a limited budget, we definitely recommend this.

Tip#374: Create Your Own Universe – Tony Hsieh's Delivering Happiness - Inception
As mentioned in tip#372 I've experienced multiple challenges this year both in my life and career. What is helping me stay positive and resilient is the mindset of envisioning the world I want instead of the one currently in front of me. I am BELIEVING in a better world for myself.
Delivering Happiness
One book that's been inspiring me to confidently move forward is Delivering Happiness by Tony Hsieh. He is the CEO of Zappos, North America's number one online shoe store. We had actually met back in December 2008 after seeing Tony on The Oprah Show and touring his head office in Las Vegas. See my blog articles on Zappos: tip#205, tip#213, tip#214, tip#238, tip#261, tip#376
Tony's book outlines his success stories with founding Zappos and how he built and sold a company for $265 million dollars just out of college. He also shares ingenious entrepreneurial stories while in college and as a youth. Tony continually shares that is it PASSION and building supportive RELATIONSHIPS that are primary keys to success and happiness. Above all the key to envision, create and believe in your own universe must be part of your mindset.
Inception 2010
The movie Inception is an incredible and astonishing movie that deeply explores what it is to envision and create your own world. The story is about a man named Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) who has the ability to enter the dream of others and implant or discover important thoughts within the subconscious. It is a powerful film that will motivate you to think of new possibilities in your own life.
There is a stunning scene where Ariadne (Ellen Page) has joined Cobb within his subconscious world in Paris. There she begins to envision her own world and literally alters the city and landscapes all around them. Despite Cobb telling her not to do this she pushes forward to create the world she wants to have.
Alter Your Mindset
Ariadne's willful attitude and the proactive attitude I'm learning about Tony Hsieh reminds me of the mindset I've already been training myself to embody for several years now. And that mindset begins with envisioning, creating and believing in the life and career I want. It doesn't matter if what I want isn't here yet what matters is that I am enjoying the journey there with my passion for writing this Movies That Motivate blog and celebrating my supportive and loving relationships everyday.
Your world right now may not be as fulfilling or satisfying as you may desire. Just remember that you have the ability to alter your current situations by ENVISIONING the future you want. BELIEVE in this new reality and then take the steps to CREATE it one small piece at a time. Do this and you too will have an incredible and astonishing life!
"Envision, create and believe in your own universe, and the universe will form around you."

I read you Blog and I was impressed on your take of "Inception". I found the most interesting thing about the movie to be the idea that most of our thoughts are subconscious....therefore most of us are driven by motives that we are not fully aware of.
We are driven to act by ideas that are not necessarily in line with that which we "consciously" state we wish to experience. I also found it fascinating how the subconscious will do whatever necessary to protect itself against new thoughts or ideas.
For me the message of the movie is the idea that we must "know ourselves" first before any real change or growth can begin. The path to anywhere starts from within.
I'm not sure what others may think or feel, but for me this was the most important message in the film. I would love to talk to you more....we need to get you back on the Show! I will contact you on a date.

We talked to Steve Cockerill and Kate Sargent at the METS marine trade fair in Amsterdam, where Rooster Sailing have just won a DAME award in the clothing category for the Rooster Exofleece.
Mark Jardine: Steve, this is now 19 years of Rooster growth; how do you maintain such high enthusiasm for such a long period of time?
Steve Cockerill: Have a passion for the sport, I guess! And bring in people who are enthusiastic for the sport.
Mark: When you started off, you were a one-man band. You had your rusting van, and were bringing in single products where you saw they were needed. You had ideas, and thought, "I can make this. And I can make it better." Is that still the ethos behind Rooster?
Steve: It is. We tend to do things that make the rest of the industry think, "That's strange, why are they doing that?" When I started, it was because the rest of the industry didn't want to make a pair of hiking shorts, and I knew it was going to be something we had to bring to market, because it would improve people's enjoyment of sailing. We've always tried to do things to make people enjoy sailing more. Bringing in the Aquafleece helped people be warm and comfortable on the water, and put smiles on kids' faces when it was cold. Now it is the same with Exofleece: we're being more inclusive, with a product you can wear even if you're allergic or irritated by neoprene. By being inclusive we hope more people can enjoy the sport.
Mark: One of the newer members of your team - someone who has completely hit the ground running - Kate Sargent, has been instrumental in many of the new designs recently. Kate, how does it feel to be part of the Rooster team, with all that boundless enthusiasm around you?
Kate Sargent: It was great to find someone who shared a similar passion: for designing things and wanting more people to get into the sport. Not just designing for sales necessarily, but designing things that people want and need, which will get them out on the water.
Mark: That is one of the key things all along with Rooster, it has been your push for participation, trying to make it so that people can enjoy the sport more. Lately, both of you have taken up sailing the RS Aero. Do you think that, with your kit improvements, and boat designers improving the ergonomics of designs (such as the Aero), this is all helping sailing participation?
Steve: I'm sure it is. There is so much excitement out there, for boats that foil, for boats that are light and fun to sail; there's so much choice. The difficulty is how to show people what they should be sailing, and how to sail it better. That is another aspect of what Rooster does. I'm almost more excited about the women's range that Kate has designed this year; I don't want to be sailing in a male environment all the time, so I'd like to be at a club where women are enjoying sailing too.
Mark: Kate, that is a very good point: equality in the sport is big news at the moment, with the push towards full equality in the Olympics at Paris 2024. How do we get more women into the sport, and how can the industry help with this aspect?
Kate: I think a lot of women are put off, because traditionally in sailing there has been a lot of male dominance, from leadership down to ground level. All we can do as a company is at least bring products that will allow people to feel good in what they are doing, and be comfortable, and hopefully that will follow in their performance. It's awful being in an uncomfortable wetsuit, or you don't feel good, wearing something you don't really like. There is a difference between women and men, in the mindset and everything, although nearly all of us want to look good. How you feel really affects your performance. That is why the women's range came along and developed the way it did.
Mark: Steve, the DAME award is without doubt the highest accolade for products in the sailing industry. What does it feel like to be a winner in the clothing category this year?
Steve: I'm absolutely flabbergasted. We've missed out the 'special mention' totally, and gone from one or two nominations in past years, straight to category winner. It's a great way of publicising what we are trying to do with the brand. I'm super excited.
Mark: Steve and Kate, huge congratulations to you on this award. It is highly deserved. It is just great to see Rooster continuing to innovate in this sport which we all love.
Kate: thank you!

The nuclear deal with Iran has emboldened Tehran to become increasingly aggressive in the Middle East, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, warning that Iran should "not test Israel's resolve" as he showed off what he said was part of a downed Iranian drone.
Netanyahu said of Iran that if the U.S. decides to scrap the 2015 nuclear deal, which he has long opposed, "I think they'll do nothing."
But Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, appearing two hours later at the same Munich Security Conference, fired back that Netanyahu's comment was "delusional thinking."
"I can assure that if Iran's interests are not secured, Iran will respond, will respond seriously. And I believe it would be a response that means people would be sorry for taking the erroneous action they did," he said.
U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed deep skepticism about the Iran nuclear deal that lifted sanctions against the country. He extended sanctions waivers in January but said he would not do so again when they come up for renewal in May unless his concerns are addressed.
Former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, a main architect of the nuclear deal, said it was "absolutely critical" to ensure it survives.
"We know what the world looks like without the Iran nuclear agreement," he said Sunday, speaking at the same conference. "It's not a better place."
If the U.S. abandons the current nuclear deal it's unlikely Iran would consider a new one, Kerry said.
"The problem is the waters have been muddied because of this credibility issue about America's willingness to live up to any deal," he said.
Kerry dismissed Netanyahu's contention that Iran would be on its way to having a nuclear arsenal in 10 years, saying "that's fundamentally not accurate."
Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir weighed in, saying the Iran nuclear deal "has flaws that need to be fixed." He said that, among other things, the inspection system needs to be more intrusive.
"The world has to extract a price from Iran for its aggressive behavior," he added.
Netanyahu told world leaders, diplomats and defense officials at the conference that the deal was similar to the infamous 1938 "Munich Agreement" that Western powers signed with Adolf Hitler in an attempt to stave off war in Europe, which became synonymous with appeasement.
"The concessions to Hitler only emboldened the Nazi regime," he said. "Rather than choosing a path that might have prevented war... those well-intentioned leaders made a wider war inevitable and far more costly."
Similarly, he said, the Iranian nuclear agreement has "unleashed a dangerous Iranian tiger in our region and beyond."
Declaring that Iran's "brazenness hit new highs," he theatrically held up a fragment of what he said was an Iranian drone shot down last week by Israel in Israeli airspace and challenged Zarif.
"Mr. Zarif, do you recognize this? You should, it's yours," Netanyahu said. "You can take back with you a message to the tyrants of Tehran — do not test Israel's resolve!"
Tehran has denied that the drone belonged to Iran. Zarif on Sunday dismissed Netanyahu's stunt as "a cartoonish circus... which does not even deserve the dignity of a response."
Iranian troops, along with Hezbollah and other Iranian-backed Shiite forces, have aided Syrian President Bashar Assad in his war against rebel groups. Netanyahu has repeatedly warned that he will not accept a permanent Iranian military presence in postwar Syria, fearing that Iran and its Shiite allies would turn their attention to Israel.
Netanyahu has been projecting a business-as-usual approach on his visit to Germany amid uproar at home after police on Tuesday said was sufficient evidence to indict him for bribery, fraud and breach of trust in two cases.
The Israeli leader has angrily rejected the accusations and denounced what he describes as an overzealous police investigation. He has also dismissed the accusations as a witch hunt orchestrated by a hostile media.

Mastering Your First Camping Trip
When going on your first camping trip there is so much excitement and nerves built up. Just to be able to go into the wilderness for the weekend, exploring, examining nature on a level you haven't before.
Being free of the daily banter of work, school, family, just a sense of freedom and no reasonabilities.
Whether you're 15 or 30, your first camping trip is one that you'll never forget. Maybe it'll be the trip of a lifetime or the horror story of your life, either way, you'll never forget! I've had my share of both, and no matter what, I love every single one of them. There is no other feeling like being in the middle of the woods and just having the overwhelming feeling of peace and happiness. Unless you're in a Friday The 13th movie, then you better run….
In this blog, I'm going to try to help you Master Your First Camping Trip. From tips, tricks and just some basic advice that I would have liked to have known on my first trip.
Departure Time
Especially on your first trip try to leave early morning. You don't want to arrive late and attempt to set up camp in the dark. It's a challenge finding the tent pad making sure it's clear of rocks, sticks and so on. Also, many campgrounds are a first come first serve basis. Even with an online reservation, many parks won't assign you a select campsite until you arrive. If it's inevitable to leave late, try to send the other part of your group early so they can select a decent campsite and start setting up camp.
Staying Hydrated.
With being out in the sun so much you need to be sure you're properly keeping your body hydrated. Take plenty of water, Gatorade, juices etc. Try to stay away from sodas and drinks high in sugars.
Take A Good Backpack
If you plan on doing any Hiking during your trip, try bringing a backpack that is lightweight yet durable with plenty of pockets and a place to hold a water bottle. You want to be sure to take gear for an emergency if one were to happen.
Lighting Your Campground
Seems frivolous, but having a good campsite is a must have for the first-timers. It makes it easy to find what you're looking for, navigating around camp and keeping from tripping on your tent stabilizers. Check out our blog on lighting up your campsite for the best lighting options!
Use A Camping Checklist
Use one of our many Camping Checklist to be sure you're fully prepared for the exciting trip ahead. From Cooking supplies to water activity gear we've got a list of it all.
Site Near the Water?
Taking the kids camping? Why you shouldn't get a site by the water. First timers usually always want a site near the water, yet this isn't a promising idea if you're a family group with young kids. Unless you're able to keep your eyes on the kids the whole time, being right on the water can be very dangerous. There have been many drownings just because the parents lost sight for a moment. There, of course, can be some awesome benefits to being right on the edge. The sound of the water at night, being able to just run and jump in! Especially if you're just a group of young adults going out for a fun weekend, then heck yeah! Campsite on the lake!
First Aid Kits
This is obviously a very important item for any trip. They are cheap, lightweight and easy to carry. I recommend you have 1 First Aid Kit per 4 Campers. An accident can happen anywhere at any time so be prepared, better safe than sorry. Use our First Aid checklist to be sure you have everything you need.
Watch out for the Rain!
Check the weather for the time and area of your trip. Be sure you're checking for rain, snow and wind speeds. This way you know ahead of time what type of clothing to pack, special gear for high winds if you need heavy warm blankets or light thin ones. The more you prepare ahead of time the more amazing trip you'll have.
Keeping Contact with Camp
Even though you likely won't lose cell service, bring along a pair of Walkie Talkies. If you get separated from camp, you know that you'll be able to get ahold of someone. And decent Walkie Talkies are affordable too, so you don't have to worry about breaking the bank for safety.
Sleeping Comfortable
If you're not used to roughening it out, sleeping on the ground in a sleeping bag is a struggle. No matter how well you clear the tent pad you're going feel bumps, twigs and all that. Then you have to try to get up early the next morning and have a fully active day, that's hard. So, try bringing a sleeping bag or cot. This adds a whole lotta comfort and you'll have a great night's rest to be energized for the day ahead.
Don't Chose the Wrong Gear!
For first-time campers finding the right sized tent can be more of a struggle than you would think. Tents are designed for campers using sleeping bags and that is how companies determine how many people can fit into one. Example a 4-person tent can fit 4 persons in sleeping bags or 2 twin air mattresses with almost no room for anything else. So, when shopping, think about what you will be sleeping on and how many people will be in your tent. PS check out the Instant tents! Best tent I've ever owned! And always practice setting them up at home! Like I say around this blog be prepared! Know your Gear!
Trees or no Trees above The Campsite
When you think camping you usually think of trees, but many people don't like trees around when camping for a few different reasons. The most notable is spiders… Spiders thrive during the night making webs connecting all over the place, so when you get up bright and early you can be pretty sure to walk into a few. Finding a campsite with no trees atop is usually difficult unless you're just going somewhere that doesn't have many. Many people prefer to camp without them above for many different reasons. Main two are for stargazing from the tent and if there's a storm if it got hit by lightning it could fall on you. While the second is very unlikely, it has happened before.
Picking the Right Location
As for your planning your trip, start by determining how far you are willing to travel. Then just google camping grounds within xx miles of me. I would recommend that you stay at a state park or national park so if there are any problems you can find a ranger. For a kid, activities look through all the events the park has to offer. Many parks have wildlife shows and group events, while others don't. Also, read through reviews about the park and see what other campers are saying. If you are traveling to another state, check their local laws and advisories.
Know Your Campsite
When going to a new Campgrounds it's always exciting to explore and find all its hidden glory. Getting to know the area is not just an excitement but a necessity, you need to know where the bathrooms are, dumpsters, trails, beaches all the good stuff. When you first arrive if most parks will give you a map, study it. Check with a ranger if there is anything you need to worry about. Just get all the information you can to better your trip.
Fun stuff
Take some fun stuff with you! If you have space, try to bring a couple of bikes to take a ride on the trails. Set up croquet around camp, bring horseshoes and have some fun friendly competition. A few board games, water guns anything like that just to have a little extra fun!
Wear the Right Gear
When you're going camping always remember Comfortable walking shoes, your averagely daily step count more than doubles or even triples when on an outdoor adventure. You don't want to be walking 5 or 6 miles in shoes that cause blisters and pain. As well as comfortable clothes, depending on the weather choose clothing that is either breathable or insulated to keep you warm. Try to always wear pants when you're out in the wilderness, this way your legs will be safer from chiggers, thorny vines and other bugs and such.
Test Your Gear
Knowing your gear is a huge asset. Always give all your gear a test run a few days before your trip. This way if something is broken or you just can't get it to work you still have time to return it and grab a new one to test out. You don't want to show up and some of the gear is broken or you have no idea what to do with it. Do a quick test drive and be prepared.
Plan Your Meals
Planning each meal and even snacks! Know what you're eating every meal for the entirety of the trip. Even if it's just simple as ham and cheese sandwiches, have it in a checklist and pick up the items ahead of time. Be sure to have everything you'll need to cook and store food properly. Items like plates, bowls, utensils, baggies, napkins, foil, containers, propane for cooking and so on. It's not only a pain but also takes away time when you have to go to the store (if there's even one near you). Be smart and plan ahead so you don't take time away from your camping trip.
Protecting Your Skin
Many people don't think about skin cancer, but I've had family that has developed it from being outdoors all the time and not wearing sunscreen. When planning your trip be sure to have sunscreen and plenty of it. Many people assume that because you're usually surrounded by woods that you won't need it, but that alone will not stop a sunburn. Be sure to have 1 or 2 bottles as you'll probably go swimming or be outside hiking most of the time.
The Things We All Hate!
Dealing with the bugs and pest is the main downfall to camping. Especially Mosquitoes, but there are some tips to help. If you're like me, you can't stand Bug spray. The smell, how it makes you feel sticky and icky, so I go to other alternatives such as Citronella candles. Citronella is an odor that Mosquitoes naturally don't like so it drives them away. Mosquito repellent wristbands, these are some great alternatives and kids don't mind wearing them.
With possums and raccoons, skunks and other wildlife you must be vigilant with trash and leaving food items out. They're attracted to the scent and come out at night while you're asleep. So, just remember to either hang your trash, place it in your car or take it to the dumpsters each night.
There's also health benefits
Going out into the woods for even a short walk has been proven to have extraordinary health benefits. From relieving stress, getting essential vitamins and memory improvement. Within just as little as an hour in the woods, your heart rate begins to lower, which in return reduces stress. There have been studies done that show a 10-minute walk outdoors shows great memory than a 10-minute walk indoors.
Just Have a Good Time!
There's a variety of campsites you could choose, some with no water or electricity, some with only one and then some with both. You can always find running water or just run down to the lake, so take some fun things with you like Water Guns and Water Balloons. Take your bikes for the trails and some board games so during downtime you can play a game of Monopoly. Anytime I come home from a Camping trip I'm refreshed, relaxed and ready to be completely stressed out by life again. Just remember, when you go camping, you're in natures house, so be respectful and take care of our environment, clean your campsite and leave it better than how you found it.
Camping is truly a life-altering event, it can bring you closer to your family and friends even when you didn't think you could. Hopefully, with some of the basic information, you can Master Your First Camping Trip and have the adventure of a lifetime with loads fun! Just remember all the things we've talked about bugs, skin care, food, clothing, shoes, location, having the proper gear and testing it out thoroughly. Do all this and your Camping trip is going to already be better than most. Stay vigilant, yet enjoy your time out and try to destress! Take photos and enjoy the memories for the rest of your lives.

text: All this fascinates, excites and brings me pleasure and joy as I learn and try to decipher each letter, each symbol, each ideogram, each idiom, etc., endeavoring to understand what lies and hides behind all that. Thus, I get immediately, i.e. at the first contact, what I seek in my study of a language. I do not need to wait for months, years or for ever (who knows?) to benefit from my study and learning. Although, as I mentioned, I had to reduce the time devoted to my personal interest in languages, a few years ago I felt an urgent need to resume my studies more intensively. They promised to be more interesting, hence more beneficial, and for professional reasons, in addition to personal reasons. Being exposed constantly to students from different languages, cultures and backgrounds, and urged on by the difficulties they encounter in learning a language different from their own, I resolved to do my best to help such students by understanding and anticipating their problems, hence finding solutions to them, in the best way possible. I think that, as a teacher, if I wish to be more effective to my students, it is imperative that I understand them. Naturally, in order to understand them, I must know them first. In order to know them, I must know their languages and backgrounds. I mean I must have some idea about and be familiar with their languages, at least some of them. I do not mean that each time I have, for example, ten students of different cultures in my class, I have to try to learn all their languages. One cannot learn as many languages as one wishes and master them all, while being a teacher at the same time. I now devote a large amount of my leisure time to studying a number of the great world languages of different families, covering wide geographical areas, focusing on one single language, for some time, so as to have a general idea about the language, as regards the script system, grammar, structure, etc., as mentioned in §2. In fact, I find dealing with different languages as fascinating and interesting as dealing with different people who speak those languages, since those languages are but their invention and creation. Thus, in addition to textbooks, cassettes, dictionaries, card indexes in different languages, already accumulated, I keep on acquiring more and more material on languages.

Don't lose hope for the trapped Thai football team
Readers have their say on plastic, Saudi Arabia, genetic screening and mortgages
I write in reference to your article Thai diver drowns during cave rescue mission (July 6): it is sad that a Thai navy diver has lost his life in the perilous rescue mission in Thailand. With heavy rains threatening in the area, the rescue mission is now under even greater pressure. The rescuers should seriously look at the option of boring another hole from a point on top of the mountain, so the young children do not have to swim and dive for five hours through some very narrow passages. The arrival of engineers from Elon Musk should also help to devise any new possibilities for the rescue.
Finally, although the Thai navy Seals are doing a commendable job, I wonder if it might be useful to get some advice and assistance from American navy Seals too. We must never give up hope.

It's time to ban single-use plastic bags, plates and cups
With reference to your article Waitrose Abu Dhabi trial sees 75% reduction in single-use plastic bags (July 4), I hope the UAE will introduce a complete ban on plastic bags as well as plastic plates, cups and cutlery.

Mineur's appointment is a symbol of change in Saudi
In reference to your exclusive Why the first female ambassador in Saudi Arabia thinks the UAE got gender equality right (July 6), after serving four years in the UAE as Belgium's ambassador, Dominique Mineur will be posted to Saudi Arabia. This is a very positive development. The Belgian government has rightly nominated Ms Mineur for the post, in recognition of her experience and the fact that Saudi Arabia is reforming and giving greater rights to its women.
K Ragavan, Denver
We need greater awareness around genetic screening
I refer to the article Genetic disorders don't have to be 'your destiny', experts say ahead of international conference in Dubai (July 2): There needs to be more education out there for lay people to understand the importance of genetic screening. At the moment, it is one of the specialties that have extremely high no-show rates for screening appointments.

Investing in property doesn't always pay off in reality
I am writing in reference to the article Why property is a good investment if you take out a mortgage (July 3): what if the value of the house goes down to half instead of doubling and the buyer is left with a mortgage? Leverage sadly works in both directions.

Why guest blogs can be your brand's best friend
Since the Google Penguin update hit earlier this year, online marketers have been faced with a simple choice: go ethical, go high-quality, or go home.
Black-hat techniques such as keyword stuffing, duplicated content and link bombing were heavily penalised by Panda and Penguin – with many search queries affected. What this means today is that it's more important than ever for a website to feature good quality, regularly-updated content and links from reputable, relevant sources.

Many people wish they could have perfectly aligned teeth and a marvelous smile. However, many would like to get a great smile without going through the trouble of getting braces, brackets and wires. If you are searching for an alternative to traditional braces, Jeffrey V. Jones, DDS's offices may have a solution for you! Invisalign® is an alternative orthodontic treatment that provides patients with a discreet way to improve their smile. It is an easy, retainer-like product that is made from a clear plastic. It can also be taken off, allowing you to wear it whenever you would like.
Invisalign treatments consist of aligner trays that are smooth, comfortable, removable and nearly invisible. Their flexibility gives you the option of keeping your routine and doing all of your daily tasks the way you normally would. You are able to take out your Invisalign aligners whenever you need to eat, floss your teeth or brush, although we recommend wearing them as much as possible to efficiently straighten your smile. This treatment can provide a simple solution to crooked teeth and can gradually move your teeth to their ideal positions. This is an option that can clear common crowding or unwanted spacing, while also treating crossbites, underbites and overbites. Dr. Jeff Jones offers Invisalign and Clear Correct clear aligners in Dallas, Texas. Let our dentist help you achieve a beautiful, straighter smile that not only boosts your self-confidence and self-surety, but also can improve your overall oral health.
Not only can it be unsightly, but a crooked smile can also cause a host of health problems. Misalignment can lead to jaw pain and cause unnecessary wear on the enamel. It can also make it more difficult to keep teeth and gums clean, leading to dental and periodontal disease.

I was reading that there will be a new movie based on the book, maybe a couple years from now, I guess (or whenever). Anyone know if he owns the rights to this, or is it like the Corn movies that he can't stop from multiplying?
I really liked the book, but it would be neat if the ending were changed (not sure what that could be; just forcing myself to think for a moment, maybe the Earth is destroyed, or maybe its orbit is knocked around and the population dies out...wasn't that one of the fates in a world visited by the aliens?). Also, if I were making the movie, I would set it during the present and make the characters high-school age...tell the story on social media, maybe incorporate a found-footage motif in part, etc. I'd eliminate the whole clock thing (trying to remember what that was about, with the hologram -- I think it was just to cover up what was going on?), stuff like that; guess I would change a lot, in an effort to attract the younger viewers of today (for the talking Jesus scene, I'd maybe have Jesus appear on Netflix in a new series only she -- Rebecca Paulson, I believe was the character's name -- can see; the episodes become very suggestive to her).

BPM modeling is the key to solid workflow automation
Before you dive headfirst into workflow automation, our expert Jonathan Hassell has some BPM modeling tips to ensure you'll succeed.
Business process management (BPM) software has earned its place in organizations everywhere. But workflow automation is not a magic bullet. Let's take a look at the four most common BPM modeling mistakes and how you can avoid them.
Jonathan Hassell
Don't expect miracles. BPM software cannot magically improve poorly designed processes all by itself. What it can do is highlight and maybe even throw a spotlight on problems with your true business processes. If those business processes are designed improperly, take too long, require an absurd number of conditions or are otherwise inefficient, you're simply asking for trouble. The software is only as good as the humans who engineer it. It's designed to speed up what happens during those human-engineered processes.
When processes move quicker, problems sometimes are highlighted more clearly or even exacerbated. Instead, give your processes a thorough going-through. That includes documenting current steps; confirming with key stakeholders; measuring the time, data and success rate; iterating over those steps until weaknesses are identified and corrected; and re-measuring to ensure that the process is efficient and safe. Then -- and only then -- can you consider a BPM rollout for that process.
Keep it simple. You have two choices: go small or go big. Think about how difficult BPM modeling is right now, when you're coming from simple paper-and-pencil or lots of email. You get your BPM software implemented, and now it's time to make it your own. You huddle together with all stakeholders and create this massively customized system with alerting, custom workflows, automatic archiving, magical payment posting and distribution, and so on -- all very, very customized to your business and its current environment. You pay a lot of money in software consulting fees to get this done. Now consider upgrade time.
Your BPM software vendor probably has no way to support moving all the customizations you've made from one product platform to another. Indeed, your business process itself has probably changed, if you're anything like most CIOs. So, you fork over a lot of money for both the upgraded BPM software -- and then another small fortune in customization fees to another consulting vendor. Or, if budgets are tight, you stick with a system that's old and doesn't do what you need anymore because it would cost too much to fix. Avoid these traps and keep the BPM software simple -- and the processes simple, too.
Build momentum and enthusiasm. Usually there's some initial enthusiasm from everyone on the BPM modeling committee as they sell the advantages of the deployment to the rest of the business. Usually there's a liaison to different departments who discusses how the BPM software can make them faster or more efficient internally, and perhaps even give your company overall a competitive advantage in a fast-moving industry. Everyone gets excited, the project is funded, and then -- silence. Crickets.
Instead, first outline a "quick win" project -- one you can implement in the first four to six months that's highly visible and solves a big pain point for a lot of people. Get it done and on budget and in that time frame, and demonstrate to everyone the practical and now-tangible benefits of your BPM rollout. This will build momentum for your workflow automation deployment and give people the vision they need. Otherwise, they'll lose patience and enthusiasm, two necessary ingredients of a successful BPM deployment.
Make that project meaningful. Don't implement an expense report process or a travel request system at first. Skip any process that is purely administrative. Deploy significant and productive workflow automation across the company that improves employees' workdays and offers a value to the business. New-product launch requests, research and development funding requests, competitive analysis processes, and so on make good first projects.
As with any initiative, a good BPM workflow automation process keeps its eyes on the prize and follows many aspects of lean processes. Get in, keep it simple, keep an eye on stakeholder communication, and you will start collecting the rewards as quickly as possible and become one of many BPM-modeling success stories.

Reality Shows Streaming Online
Where to Binge All Your Favorite Reality Shows This Summer
Where to Binge All Your Favorite Reality Shows This Summer
It's an unwritten rule in my household that Summer is for reality TV. Don't get me wrong, I love scripted shows, but there's something about grabbing a refreshing beverage and chilling on the couch for countless hours of mindless TV. Thanks to Netflix and Hulu, you can watch season upon season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, and almost every food-focused and house-flipping show on the market. It truly is the best of times, everyone. So if you're not feeling any of this Summer's new scripted shows (or even the returning ones), put your feet up, turn your brain off, and relax with one of these gems.

??Introduction:Do you like to go to parties?Maybe you like birthday parties best, or Christmas or New Year's parties. Well, today won't you join me for a different kind of party right in the palace of the king of Babylon!
??Can you imagine that we would see such rich decorations, and elegantly clothed people, and oh! Imagine the delicious food! The Bible tells us in Daniel Chapter 5 that King Belshazzar had made a great feast for a thousand of his lords. This was a big party! But sad to say, it was not the kind of party you and I would have enjoyed, for the people were doing very foolish things. The Bible indicates they were drinking lots of wine, which caused them to say and do sinful things.
??The servants were commanded by King Belshazzar to bring the golden and silver vessels1 that King Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple of the true and living God in Jerusalem. King Belshazzar was King Nebuchadnezzar's son or grandson, and although he knew about the true and living God, he had chosen to worship idols2. As the king and all his lords and ladies drank wine from the holy vessels from the Lord's house,
??the Bible says they "praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass3, of iron, of wood, and of stone." How foolish to worship the things God has made, rather than to glorify4 the God Who made all things!
??Main Teaching:If you know the Lord Jesus, remember:God wants you to glorify Him! To glorify God means to praise and worship Him, to brag5 on Him and give Him thanks for the things He has made, and the wonderful things He has done! As believers in the Lord Jesus, we know that all we have, and all that we are, is a grace gift from the Lord. Let's say our Bible memory verse for today:I Corinthians 6:20, "For ye are bought with a price:therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." In all that we do and all that we say, God should be lifted up. If we brag, we should brag on God and not ourselves. If you know the Lord Jesus, remember:God wants you to glorify Him!
??How foolish for King Belshazzar to worship the things God made, rather than to glorify the God Who made all things! Daniel 5:5 says, "In the same hour came forth6 fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace:and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
??Suddenly the party was over! The king's proud face changed to fear, and he was so frightened, his knees knocked together. He called for his astrologers, his Chaldeans, all his wise men of Babylon to come quickly. "Whoever can read this writing on the wall and tell me what it means shall be clothed with scarlet7, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom." But none of the king's wisemen could figure out this strange writing nor what it meant. Now the king was even more frightened and troubled. He must have known this message was bad news, but what could it be?The king's mother or grandmother came in and gave the king some very good advice. She reminded the king that there was a man of great wisdom who had served under King Nebuchadnezzar. He had revealed dreams and given such wise counsel to King Nebuchadnezzar that the king had made him master of his wise men. Can you guess the name of this wise man?The queen mother said, "Now let Daniel be called, and he will show you what this message is."
??Don't you wonder why King Belshazzar had not been seeking Daniel's good counsel before now?When Daniel came before the king, the king said, "Are you that Daniel from the captives of Judah that King Nebuchadnezzar brought out?I have heard that there is excellent wisdom in you. If you can read this writing on the wall and tell me what it means, you shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold around your neck, and you shall be the third ruler in the kingdom."
??Then Daniel answered the king:"Let your gifts be to yourself, and give your rewards to another; yet I will read the writing to you and tell you what it means. O king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father a kingdom, and majesty8, and glory, and honor. Because of all the power God gave your father, all people, nations, and languages trembled and feared before King Nebuchadnezzar. Whoever he wanted to kill, he killed. Whoever he wanted to keep alive, he kept alive. But when the king's heart was lifted up and his mind hardened in pride, he was brought down from his kingly throne, and his glory was taken from him. He became like a beast, and even lived in the field, eating grass like a beast, until he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men and
??that it was God that appoints over kingdoms whomever He will."
??Main Teaching:Daniel called God "the most high God." God is sovereign, which means He rules over all, and He deserves our glory and praise. If you know the Lord Jesus, remember:God wants you to glorify Him! God says He is the potter, and we are just the pieces of clay. Can the clay form itself?Of course not! God says He is the wise potter Who made you, gives you life and breath, and has a wonderful plan for your life. Part of that plan is that we should glorify Him! When you pray and read your Bible, seeking to know God and obey Him, you are glorifying9 Him. When you brag on God and not yourself, you are bringing glory to God. Singing praise and talking to others about the wonderful things God has done brings glory to God. Remember our Bible verse in I Corinthians 6:20, "For ye are bought with a price:therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." If you know the Lord Jesus, remember:God wants you to glorify Him!
??Daniel was careful to glorify God, calling Him the "most high God" that rules over all.
??Daniel reminded King Belshazzar that even though he knew all the things that happened to King Nebuchadnezzar because of his pride, yet Belshazzar had not humbled10 himself to give glory to the most high God. Daniel said, "You have praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know:and the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways, you have not glorified11."
??Gospel:Have you glorified the God Who holds your breath in His hand?He is the true and living God Who created you and all things. Jeremiah says that God loves you with an everlasting12 love. He wants you to be with Him forever, that's why He made sure you saw this lesson today! God is perfect and holy, without sin and so is His Heaven. You and I were born with a problem called sin that separates us from God and His forever home in Heaven. Sin is when you break God's laws, and one example is when you do not glorify God. God knows about your sin, but in His great love He sent the only solution to your sin problem. When Jesus, God's perfect Son, came to earth from Heaven, He came to pay the price for your sin. What was that price?It was to give His precious blood and life. Jesus willingly did that when He allowed wicked men to nail Him to the wooden cross. Remember our verse for today?I Corinthians 6:20 "For ye are bought with a price:" Jesus paid that price for you, so you would never have to suffer the everlasting punishment of being in hell. Three days after Jesus died, He rose from the dead, and now the Lord Jesus is alive in Heaven. He is ready to forgive your sin and save you when you ask Him. Your salvation13, your life, and your very breath are all a gift from God. He created you to glorify Him.
??Daniel told Belshazzar that He had not glorified the God who had given him his very breath. And then Daniel read the mysterious message written on the palace wall. The writing was:MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. What could those strange words mean?Daniel knew precisely14 what they meant and he explained them for the king. MENE:God has numbered your kingdom and finished it. TEKEL:You are weighed in the balances and found wanting. PERES:Your kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
??Daniel told Belshazzar he did not please the Lord, and his kingdom was going to be taken from him and given to the Medes and Persians. Belshazzar probably did not dream it would be that very night. History books tell us that even as the lavish15 party was going on in the palace, the enemy armies were digging a trench16 and draining the river that ran under the high, thick strong walls of Babylon. Their clever plan worked, and the army was able to come under the walls using the drained river bed. That very night the Bible says Belshazzar was killed and Darius the Mede took over the great kingdom of Babylon, just as God had shown Daniel.
??If only Belshazzar had learned to give glory to the true and living God! What a sad but true story. What about you???Challenge:If you know the Lord Jesus as your Savior from sin, will you remember this week to give glory to God?Why not write your Bible verse from I Corinthians 6:20
??on a strip of paper and use it for your Bible marker this week. Reading your Bible and praying daily will help you know what God wants you to do. Obeying His Word, singing songs of praise, and telling others the wonderful things God has done are ways you can glorify God this week! Did God help you pass a test?Did He protect you and provide all you needed this week?Then praise and thank Him for it, giving Him all the glory!
??Invitation:If you have never believed on the Lord Jesus, then you can never please and glorify Him. Why not go right now to "How To Be a Child of God" and find out how to have your sins forgiven and become His child today. Then you too can begin to do exactly what you were created to do:glorify God your Creator!
??你喜欢去聚会吗?可能你最喜欢生日聚会, 或圣诞节或新年聚会。好不好,我们今天一起去参加一个在巴比伦王宫举行的另外一种聚会!
??你能想象一下我们将见到富丽堂皇的装饰以及穿着典雅的人吗?还有,哇,想象一下那美味可口的食物!圣经在但以理书第五章里告诉我们伯沙撒王为他的一千个大臣大摆宴席。这是一个盛大的聚会!但很遗憾, 这不是你我想参加的那种聚会, 因为那些人都做很愚昧的事。圣经说他们喝着许多酒, 导致他们行为和言语犯罪。伯沙撒王命令仆人拿来尼布甲尼撒王从耶路撒冷真神的圣殿掠来的金银器皿。伯沙撒王是尼布甲尼撒王的儿子或孙子, 虽然他知道那又真又活的神, 他却选择拜偶像。
??当王和他的大臣用从圣殿里掠来的器皿喝酒时,圣经说他们"称赞金,银, 铜, 铁, 木头, 和石头所造的神。"去敬拜神所造的, 而不是敬拜那创造万物的神是多么愚蠢啊。
??主要教导:如果你认识主耶稣, 你要记住:神要你荣耀他!荣耀神就是赞美和敬拜他,夸耀他,为他所创造的万物和他所做的奇事感谢他!作为主耶稣的信徒, 我们知道我们所拥有的, 并且我们所成为的, 都是主的恩典。
??我们今天的背诵经节是哥林多前书6:20, "因为你们是重价买来的,所以要在你们的身子上荣耀神。" 我们所做并且我们所说的, 都要使神被高举。如果我们自夸, 我们应该以神为夸耀而不是我们自己。如果你认识主耶稣, 记住:神要你荣耀他!
??但以理书5:5说, "当时,忽有人的指头显出,在王宫与灯台相对的粉墙上写字。王看见写字的指头。"突然之间这个聚会要结束了!王骄傲的面孔变成恐惧, 并且他是如此害怕, 以至双膝彼此相碰,他吩咐将用法术的和迦勒底人并观兆的领进来,对巴比伦的哲士说:"谁能读这文字,把讲解告诉我,他必身穿紫袍,项带金链,在我国中位列第三。"但是王的一切哲士都不能读那文字,也不能把讲解告诉王。
??伯沙撒王就甚惊惶,脸色改变。他知道这一定是个坏消息, 但是这是个什么样的坏消息呢?王的母亲或祖母进来给国王提了一些非常好建议。她提醒国王在尼布甲尼撒王手下曾有一位非常有智慧的人。他能解梦,也能给尼布甲尼撒王各样智慧的建议。尼布甲尼撒王就让他管理他的哲士。你能猜出这个有智慧的人的名字吗?
??太后说, "现在让人把但以理叫来, 他将告诉你这文字的意思。"你想不想知道,为什么在此之前伯沙撒王没有寻问但以理的建议?当但以理来到国王面前, 国王说, "你就是被尼布甲尼撒王所俘掳的犹太人但以理吗?我听说你有惊人的智慧。现在你若能读这文字,把讲解告诉我,就必身穿紫袍,项戴金链,在我国中位列第三。"
??但以理称神为"至高神",神是至高的,就是神统管万有,他配得我们的荣耀和赞美。如果你认识主耶稣,请记住:神要你荣耀他!神说他是窑匠, 而我们只是泥土.泥土能塑造它自己吗?当然不能!神说他是聪明的窑匠, 他造了你, 给你生命和气息, 并且对你的生命有一个奇妙的计划.那计划的一部分就是我们应当荣耀他!当你祷告和读经时, 为要努力认识和顺服他时, 你就是在荣耀神.当你以神为夸口的, 而不是夸耀自己时, 你在归荣耀给神.歌颂赞美神和向人讲述神的奇妙作为也是在归荣耀给神。
??记住我们的圣经经句哥林多前书6:20, "因为你们是重价买来的,所以要在你们的身子上荣耀神" .如果你认识主耶稣, 请记住:神要你荣耀他!但以理很认真的荣耀神, 称神为统管万有的至高神.但以理提醒伯沙撒王, 虽然伯沙撒王知道尼布甲尼撒王因自傲而发生的一切事, 但他并没有谦卑自己而归荣耀给至高神.但以理说:"你又赞美那不能看、不能听、无知无识、金、银、铜、铁、木、石所造的神,却没有将荣耀归与那手中有你气息,管理你一切行动的神。"
??你是否归荣耀给那手中有你气息的神了哪?他是那造了你和万物的又真又活的神.耶利米说神以永远的爱爱你.他要你和他永远在一起, 这就是他让你今天听到这一课的原因.神是圣洁无瑕疵无罪的, 天堂也是这样.你我都是带罪而生的人, 罪使我们与神和天堂永远分离.罪就是你违背神的律法, 一个例子就是你没有荣耀神.神知道你的罪, 但是因他的大爱, 他为你的罪开了一条出路.主耶稣, 神的完美无瑕疵的儿子, 从天上来到地上, 他为你的罪付上了重价.是什么重价呢?那就是他的宝血和生命。当耶稣允许罪人把他钉到十字架上时,他是情愿那样做的。还记得我们今天的经节吗?
??哥林多前书6:20, "因为你们是重价买来的。"耶稣为你付上了那重价,以至于你能免于地狱的永远的刑罚。在耶稣死了三天以后,他从死里复活,现在主耶稣住在天上。当你求他时,他随时准备饶恕你的罪。你的得救,你的生命,以至于你的气息都是神的赐予。他造你是要你荣耀他。

Hello. Here is some information about me and how I practise so that you can decide for yourself whether you would like to make that initial step to contact me and go on to hopefully resolve your problem.
I have a wealth of experience, both professionally and in life skills. As a past qualified nurse and counsellor my life has been spent predominantly at a senior management level specialising in various NHS settings, pain control programmes in palliative care overseas as well as Acquired Brain Injury and Neurological Rehabilitation.
As a qualified Hypnotherapist and NLP Practitioner based in Warsash near Fareham and Southampton I seek to help people make positive, empowering and lasting changes to their lives.
Here are some of the issues I can help with:
I fully understand if you feel a little sceptical or nervous about exploring the use of hypnotherapy. You may have some preconceived ideas of what it means but rest assured I will make every effort to put your mind at rest and you never know we may have some fun along the way.
Working in partnership and with your commitment, we will use a range of techniques based on constructive discussion. Your problems don't need to define you as a person or control your life any more. Have courage and take that step!
If you would like more detailed information or my help please contact me at the above website, email address or telephone number and I will be only too pleased to discuss any issues with you.

Parametric MID Frequence EQ
The circuit constitutes a natural
extension of Mic-Line balance unit, but can be adapted to any other audio circuit. It is made up of two
units in the series : A) A classic unit bass/ Treble and B) a parametric unit of mid
frequencies. Both units can also be used autonomously or each one separately, with the
required buffer unit, from previous and subsequent circuits. With the R2 we requlate the
High frequencies +/- 18 db/oct at 20 KHZ, with R5 the Low frequencies +/- 18bd/oct at 20
KHZ, with R11 the Mid freq. +/- 15 db/oct and with R10 the center of mid freq. at
200 HZ - 6 KHZ band.
