Wouldn't you love to learn the art of Living Fearlessly in Jesus? This is what I have been sharing here on my blog during the last few weeks.

Live Fearlessly with the Armor of God
Are you ready to live fearlessly? Are you really ready like David was when he fought against Goliath? David's brothers had not prepared to fight against the Goliaths in their lives. They were complacent and unwilling to take on the enemy and fight. They had not put on the armor of God and did not have the faith to take up their weapons and become the warriors in battle against the foe! But . . . how about you? Do you feel ready to fight against your enemy, the devil? What we forget or don't even realize is that the enemy the Bible talks about is surrounding us. He … [Read more...]
Why it is Important to Pray Through Your Fears
It is important to pray through your fears because when you don't, worry can overtake your thoughts until your body feels the effects of anxiety. Fear isn't healthy and it is so intertwined with worry and being anxious. You might have situations in your life that give you every reason to be anxious and worried sick with fear. Rebellious children! A marriage that is unraveling! The death of a special loved one! Financial strain! Do you anxiously imagine situations in the future? Are you stressed over little things because the big things are constantly on your … [Read more...]
What the Fear of God IS and IS NOT
Have you ever really thought deeply about what it means to fear God? You can find the word, fear, over 300 times throughout the Old and New Testament. Yet . . . Is the fear of God just as relevant today as it was back when Jesus walked on this earth? Absolutely! We need the fear of God more than ever today, yet, most people live as if there are no consequences for their actions! What the Fear of God IS NOT There are three character traits that prevent you from cultivating the fear of God in your heart. A proud heart Every one that is proud in heart is an … [Read more...]

On a sunny, Sunday afternoon, exactly ten years after 9/11, my husband's cousin took us for a tour of Asbury Grove. This lovely shaded community, north of Boston, began in 1859 as a Methodist Camp Meeting ground. It is the only camp meeting ground in the United States that has offered a program every summer it began. I was captivated by the colorful cottages with names such as "Precious," "Heaven's Scent," "The Blessing," Martin's Manna," "Angel's Rest" and "Hate to Leave It." Those names give me a sense of how strong and meaningful the connection is between this place and its residents. And now it has taken over a corner in my heart. That is why I call this work "Coming Home." To create this piece, I chose photos of sixteen cottages and had a professional photo lab print each image and then apply a UV and water-resistant coating. I arranged and mounted the photos on one of my 38 by 48 inch handmade, lightweight fabric-covered frames. I hope you will enjoy "Coming Home."

Bad weather claims large bulker
From Lloyds List :
Search continues for crew of Alexandros T
By Sandra Speares- Friday May 05 2006
RESCUE teams continued to search yesterday for 26 missing crew members from the capesize Alexandros T which sank off the South African coast on Wednesday evening in heavy seas and 45 knot winds.
The 171,875 dwt vessel, laden with 155,000 tonnes of iron ore, was on a voyage from Ponta da
Madeira in Brazil to China when it suffered heavy water ingress and flooding in several cargo holds. The master ordered the crew to abandon ship, after which seven crew members were rescued from a life raft and one from the water by the CSE Fortune Express, which reported the vessel went down at 1752 hrs GMT. A spokesman for Greek managers overseas Marine Enterprises said a further four empty liferafts had been spotted but these were empty.
South African aircraft are continuing to look for survivors.While Craig Lambinon, of the National Sea Rescue Institute in Cape Town said the weather improved yesterday morning the missing crew members "have been in the water a long time". Overseas Marine Enterprises' spokesman reported 20 ft swells and said that a storm is now forecast.
Dutch company Smit signed a Lloyd's Open Form contract for the vessel's salvage and tug Smit Amandla is continuing to proceed towards the site of the casualty to join the rescue efforts, the Overseas Marine Enterprises' spokesman said. He could not confirm ownership of the cargo.
The company is in close contact with or is trying to contact all the families of the crew. The nationalities of the crew are four Greeks, 24 Filipinos, four Romanians and one Ukrainian.
The ship, which was built at Santierul Naval Constanta of Romania in 1989, is flagged in St Vincent & the Grenadines, classed by Lloyd's Register and entered with the London Steamship Owners Mutual Insurance Association.
In a statement, Lloyd's Register said the bulker's last special survey took place in 2004. "There are no outstanding surveys or overdue conditions of class. To the best of our knowledge, the ship was in compliance with the relevant class and statutory requirements. "The ship's last port state control inspection took place in Fremantle in March 2005. There was no detention. "We await further information and will assist any investigation into the incident as required by the owner, the flag state administration or any other authority."
Lloyd's Register confirmed yesterday that the ship's No 1 aft bulkhead and double bottom was strengthened in October 2002 in accordance with 1998 requirements for evaluation and upgrading of the foremost hold structure under conditions of hold flooding for existing single side bulk carriers.
Alexandros T'sowners had been informed of new additional safety measures for bulk carriers under Solas Chapter XII, which are due to come into force on July 1 and which contain restrictions on sailing with any hold empty (or less than 10% full) when carrying heavy cargoes.
The bulker was detained in November 2003 in the US for deficiencies which included numerous fractured brackets in No 3,4,5, 6, 8 and 9 cargo holds and an ISM inspection revealed that the vessel and company had failed to fully implement the requirements of the ISM Code through the Safety Management System.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said that the slaughter in Darfur was triggered by global climate change and that more such conflicts may be on the horizon, in an article published Saturday. "The Darfur conflict began as an ecological crisis, arising at least in part from climate change," Ban said in a Washington Post opinion column.
UN statistics showed that rainfall declined some 40 percent over the past two decades, he said, as a rise in Indian Ocean temperatures disrupted monsoons.
"This suggests that the drying of sub-Saharan Africa derives, to some degree, from man-made global warming," the South Korean diplomat wrote.

Laughing Police Officer Carries Half-Naked Drug Dealer After Failed Escape
December 30, 2018
18-year-old Rhys Williams thought he was quick enough to escape the reach of the long arm of the law.
Spoiler alert, he wasn't.
A police officer quickly apprehend the teenage drug dealer, and was directing him to his squad car when Williams began complaining of sore feet. So the officer did what he thought was best, and hurled Williams onto his shoulder and carried him off like a bag of grain. And did we mention that Williams had shred all of his clothes down to his underwear?
Even the officer couldn't help but laugh.
Williams was just one member of a drug-dealing gang, of which ten members were jailed, this week. They ran a drug ring that attracted 'queues like Tesco' according to court proceedings.

On Friday, September 21, A man was viciously mauled by a 400-pound tiger after leaping into the animal's den at New York's Bronx Zoo yesterday attempting to "be one with the tiger." NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said that based on a complaint from the zoo and his own admissions, the hospitalized Villalobos faces criminal charges once he's doctors releases the patient.
David Villalobos, 25, of Mahopac, New York, was in condition after being attacked by Bachuta, an 11-year-old male Amur tiger.
Associated Press reports that presently, Villalobos' medical situation is stable.
Villalobos also had his back bitten, where a fang punctured his lung, and his body clawed, after throwing himself from a moving monorail over a protective fence into the tiger's enclosure.
The man was alone with the tiger for about 10 minutes before he was rescued by zoo officials, who used a fire extinguisher to chase Bachuta away.
As well as suffering bites and punctures on his arms, legs, shoulders and back, Villalobos broke an arm and a leg, possibly in the 16-foot-plus fall.
Earlier, police said the man had to have a foot amputated after the savage attack, but officials later said that was not the case.
Zoo workers immediately ran into the den and restrained the tiger while the injured man was rescued. After scaring the beast away, the 25-year-old was instructed to roll under a hot wire to safety, officials said.
The keepers then called the tiger into its exhibit holding area and secured him there. Bachuta will be back on exhibit this weekend and will not be euthanized, officials said.
"The tiger did nothing wrong in this episode," Bronx Zoo Director Jim Breheny said at a press conference. "When someone is determined to do something harmful to themselves, it's very hard to stop that."
The tiger mauling happened at around 3pm in the Wild Asia exhibit, where a train with open sides takes visitors over the Bronx River and through a forest.
From there they glide along the top edge of a fence past elephants, deer and a tiger enclosure.
Passengers aren't strapped in on the ride, and the man apparently jumped out of his train car with a leap powerful enough to clear the 16-foot-high perimeter fence.
He was rushed to Jacobi Medical Center in critical condition. He was, however, conscious and talking after the mauling.
Villalobos told his rescuers that he had jumped into the den on purpose because he 'wanted to die', reported NBC news. However, he changed his statement to wanting to "be one with the tiger."
A witness tweeted, "Someone jumped the gate at the bronx zoo n got mauled by a tiger now in jacobi ER.#lmfao.'" [sic]
Initial reports suggest that the man may be emotionally disturbed.
"The tiger was minding his own business," New York Police Department Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne told ABC News, "up until the man cleared two sets of fences to get into the enclosure."
But his family, who had no idea he had gone to the zoo yesterday, were perplexed as to what went wrong.
"He's amazing and he loves everybody," the victim's sister told The New York Daily News. "I really don't know what happened."
Officials believe Villalobos was visiting the zoo by himself. He had recently posted photos of tigers on his Facebook page, including one on Thursday of a mother licking her cub.
The Bronx Zoo, one of the nation's largest zoos, sprawls over 265 acres and contains hundreds of animals, many in habitats meant to resemble natural settings.
Its exhibits include Tiger Mountain, Congo Gorilla Forest and World of Reptiles.
There are 10 tigers at the Wild Asia exhibit, but Bashuta was the only one on display at the time of the attack. Bashuta has been at the zoo for three years.
There are no surveillance cameras in that area of the exhibit.
Zoo officials said they would review safety procedures but believe this was a highly unusual occurrence.
"We review everything, but we honestly think we provide a safe experience," Breheny said.
"And this is just an extraordinary occurrence… somebody was deliberately trying to endanger themselves."
He added: "I think it's safe to say that if the tiger really wanted to do harm to this individual, he certainly would have had the time to do that."
Breheny applauded his staff for acting quickly in the extraordinary situation, adding that the man was lucky to escape Bashuta with his life.
"We were able to prevent a bad situation from turning into a real tragedy," Breheny said.
"We did not have to use deadly force but we were prepared to do so. We've never had a single incident like this. You have to be determined to jump out," he added.
Amur tigers, also known as Siberian tigers, are the largest of the big cats and can weigh up to 674 pounds.
Although rare, deadly animal attacks in zoos across the country have happened before. On Christmas Day 2007, a man was killed at the San Francisco Zoo, when a 300-pound tiger named Tatiana escaped her cage and savaged him.
• In 1985, Robin Silverman, a 24-year-old zookeeper, was killed when she was attacked by two Siberian tigers at the Bronx Zoo while trying to clean their cage.
• In 1987, an 11-year-old boy was killed by a polar bear at the Prospect Park Zoo after climbing into its enclosure when the zoo was closed.
• In July 1994, a 29-year-old Australian tourist named Kathryn Warburton suffered a broken leg and bite wounds when she climbed a fence and railing at the Anchorage Zoo, Alaska, to get close-up pictures of a polar bear named Binky.
• In 2005, a male gorilla attacked and bit a 32-year-old female intern keeper at Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo after she was mistakenly sent into an outdoor gorilla exhibit while the animals were present.
• On Christmas Day 2007, a man was killed at the San Francisco Zoo, when a 300-pound tiger named Tatiana escaped her cage.
• In March 2010, a woman's thumb and forefinger were bitten off and her middle and ring fingers partially munched when she was attacked by two bears at the zoo in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, after ignoring barriers and warning signs.
"Tigers are extremely capable predators: They typically grab a prey animal by the back of the neck and it's over very quickly," said a zoo spokesperson. "This cat did not do this to the individual."
The motive behind the jump has still yet to be seen (maybe he just wanted to see what the tiger pit was all about?).

The drama of the Met Gala red carpet can be hard to live up to. Iconic looks like Claire Danes in custom Zac Posen, Karolina Kurkova in Marchesa, Blake Lively in Gucci Premiere, and Rita Ora in custom Vera Wang all are some of my favorite moments on the Met Gala red carpet. I am hoping that there will be another iconic moment will walk up the Met steps this year.It has been three times that Amy Adams has walked those famed steps and I would love to see her on the red carpet again this year. She has worn Oscar de la Renta, Giambattista Valli, and L'Wren Scott in past years and I think she would look gorgeous on this red carpet wearing this white Ralph & Russo Fall 2017 Couture pleated, tiered, caped, beaded gown. Ralph & Russo isn't the most expected designer for the Met Gala red carpet. Only two people have worn the brand on this iconic red carpet. Arizona Muse and Janelle Monae both wore big beautiful ballgowns and they totally worked. I think that this white gown is beautiful and while we will see a lot of black, white, and red on this red carpet I think that this would be a really beautiful moment for Amy. She shocked me wearing a Christian Siriano re-run for the Vanity Fair Oscar Party so I feel like anything is possible. The gown is a statement all on its own and I think that with a pair of silver Gianvito Rossi strappy sandals, sleek low bun, simple makeup, and a pair of Chopard diamond chandelier earrings that Amy would be a beautiful moment. Diane Kruger is one of my queens of the red carpet. She has been pretty loyal to the brands she loves wearing Chanel (in 2015, 2013, & 2009), Prada (in 2017 and 2012), BOSS, Jason Wu, Calvin Klein, and Alberta Ferretti. I went back to Jason Wu for the gown I want to see Diane wear on the red carpet this year. She has owned each of her looks and with her friendship with Jason being as close as she is. I saw this black silk tulle fan pleated Jason Wu Fall 2018 RTW a-line gown which features scattered multicolored sequin embroidery. When I first watched this gown come down the runway Diane was the first person to come to mind. While she might be a little short for what most people would expect the wearer of this gown to be I think that Diane has more than enough presence to really make this an absolutely beautiful moment on the red carpet. I think that pairing this gown with a romantic updo. defined eyes, rose pink lips, a black crystal encrusted Judith Leiber Couture slim slide rectangle clutch, black Rene Caovilla strappy sandals, and a pair of white and yellow diamond Harry Winston drop earrings all would ensure that this is a really glamorous moment for the gorgeous German actress. Last year Halsey was major, but surprisingly she wasn't invited to the Met Gala. I am praying that she will be back on the red carpet again this year. She made her Met Gala red carpet debut back in 2016 wearing a custom white DKNY suit by the designers of Public School. That was a really cool look, but since then her style has really evolved. I went against the theme in favor of fetish-wear inspired Christopher Kane Fall 2018 RTW. This look which consists of a stretch lace bodysuit which features a scalloped V-neckline and draped lace at the cuffs and a plastic lace skirt which features feather detailing at the hem and a maxi length screams Halsey to me. She knows how to do this hyper sexual look without being slutty or trashy and I really think she is one of the only people who could actually sell this look to me on a red carpet. The look is such a statement and I think that when paired with a sleek pixie, smokey eyes, bold red lips, a pair of black Giuseppe Zanotti embellished double strap pearl embellished sandals with a PVC foot strap, and Eva Fehren Fine Jewelry including black diamond 'The X' stud earrings and a grey diamond 'The XX' cocktail ring would all ensure that this look screams sexy, sensual glam from head to toe.In the midst of the promo tour for Mudbound Mary J. Blige swapped stylists to work with Law Roach and it continued all through awards season. Law is a magic maker when it comes to the red carpet and I am really excited to see what she will most likely bring to the red carpet at this years Met Gala. It was an easy decision for me to want to see Mary wearing this electric blue Balmain 44 François Premiere gown which features a sheer striped bodice, intricate beading, and a dramatic feathered mermaid hem/train. There have been two successful looks from this collection on the red carpet already and something tells me that between the Met Gala and Cannes that I think that Mary would definitely be the perfect person to take this gown out of the lookbook and make it a really major moment for the red carpet. The only thing I would make sure that Mary would have done perfectly is to ensure that Olivier Rousting take the sheer paneling on the gown and make sure that it would match Mary's skin tone perfectly. This gown would be a far cry from the La Perla gown (if you can call it that) that Mary wore for last years gala. It is the perfect mesh of drama, glamour, and sex appeal. Style it with a pair of matching Casadei draped satin crossover sandals, sleek hair, smokey eyes, red lips, and a pair of David Morris diamond and sapphire statement chandelier earrings to really ensure that this look is head to toe perfection for Mary. Rounding out today is a gown that I really want to see on the Met Gala red carpet. I know we are likely to see lots of gowns inspired by religious iconography on the red carpet and I am sure we will have our fare share of angelic ensembles to judge. When I was flipping through the lookbook from Jean Louis Sebaj Spring 2018 Couture collection I saw this white sleek gown with gloved sleeves, a plunging neckline, and a plume of organza feathers cascading gown the hip I immediately thought it would make a perfect Met Gala gown. So I went on a hunt for the perfect person to make it work. Usually I see a dress and someone immediately pops into my mind, but that wasn't the case with this dress. I then thought about putting it on rising star Tessa Thompson and that was the magic formula for me. Tessa has never been invited to a Met Gala, but I think that this is finally the time for her to rock this iconic red carpet. The gown is such a statement on its own that I would keep the focus on that styling it with a pair of transparent plexi Giuseppe Zanotti 'Picard Shining' crystal studded sculpted wedge sandals, sleek updo, defined eyes, red lips, and a pair of Tiffany & Co. by Jean Schlumberger diamond wing earrings could turn this into a potentially iconic red carpet moment.
The 2018 Met Gala will take place on the first Monday in May. May 7, 2018.

From the Associated Press:
ESPN apologizes for offensive headline on mobile sites for Jeremy Lin story
By Associated Press, Updated: Saturday, February 18, 10:59 AM
NEW YORK — ESPN has apologized for using a racial slur in a headline for a story on Knicks sensation Jeremy Lin.
ESPN ran the headline "Chink in the Armor" after Lin had nine turnovers in New York's loss to the New Orleans Hornets on Friday night on its mobile website that could be seen on phones and tablet computers.
Lin is the NBA's first American-born player of Chinese or Taiwanese descent. He has captivated sports fans with unexpected dominance on the court that sparked a seven-game winning streak.
ESPN says in a statement Saturday it removed the headline 35 minutes after it was posted. The cable network says it is "conducting a complete review of our cross-platform editorial procedures and are determining appropriate disciplinary action to ensure this does not happen again. We regret and apologize for this mistake."
The story was first reported by Outsports.com.
Man, I guess ESPN decided that if you're going to go racist and offensive, you may as well go all the way.

One of my favorite parts about living in Rome is that art and beauty abound. Practically everything you see in the city is an artistic marvel, from the elegant buildings and numerous fountains to piazzas large and small, and you can be assured that even the task of running an ordinary errand will see you stumbling upon an extraordinary venue. Post offices, banks and medical offices are often tucked within grand buildings so suddenly even the simple act of mailing a letter becomes a glorious adventure, one that leaves you swooning and basking in the glow of living in one of the most beautiful countries in the world.
Italy is so steeped in art and culture, it comes as no surprise that many bureaucratic municipal offices, stores and restaurants wind up in historic buildings. Living in the Eternal City has given me a new perspective on the meaning of cultural heritage, one which I no longer only associate with crumbling ruins but which instead makes me hopefully that history and tradition can continue to be relevant in today's world and be injected with new life. Rome has many success stories about revitalizing historic spaces, often industrial complexes that play host to social events and installations, but my latest discovery was one I wasn't expecting – and I was all the more thrilled to find a hidden gem in plain sight of one of the most famous landmarks in Rome, the Spanish Steps.
HB Roma is a concept store with covetable fragrances and stunning frescoes located along the elegant Via dei Due Macelli street in the heart of the city. Stepping inside the store is a real treat for the senses: shiny perfumes, colognes and potions line the walls while art deco details, contemporary furniture and vibrant paintings provide an alluring backdrop to the shopping experience. The boutique perfumery is part of HB Profumerie, a small chain of shops born in Rome in 1962, and undoubtedly has the most privileged location: HB Roma lies inside the 19th century Palazzo Chauvet, the ex-headquarters of Il Popolo Romano, a political newspaper in distribution between 1873 – 1922. The space boasts frescoes that are rich with symbolism related to Italian Unification and include allusions to Pompeii's grotesques, mythological figures such as Rome's She-wolf, and others.
HB Roma is worth a visit not only to admire its art and peruse it's line of fabulous French and Italian perfumes – which cover high-end brands including Acqua di Parma, Clive Christian, Comme des Garcons and Diptyque – but to admire how seamlessly the shop fuses past and present within a multifunctional space. The concept store is punctuated by eclectic, contemporary furniture and sculptural works of art that help the venue double as a sort of art gallery and lounge for shoppers. It also boasts an intimate cocktail bar in the back with a speakeasy feel: Luca Petricca, HB Roma's owner, wanted to enhance the experience of shopping for perfumes by drawing attention to the interrelationship between smell and taste. The bar serves up craft cocktails, natural wines and infused liquors before closure at 7:30 each evening and is a truly unique place to stop for an aperitivo before dinner in the city center.

Authentic Greek Tzatziki with Greek yogurt
Authentic Greek Tzatziki - recipe from a Greek restaurant in Poros, Greece! SO simple and it tastes amazing! Goes great with lamb, pork, meatballs, gyros, chicken and bread. Greek yogurt, garlic, salt, pepper, cucumber and olive oil. Can make in advance and refrigerate 5 to 7 days. Great for a quick snack or parties!
What is Greek Tzatziki Sauce?
I got this recipe for Authentic Greek Tzatziki sauce on my trip to Greece. We had an amazing dinner at The Odyssey in Poros, Greece. The owner gave me a small recipe book with some of her traditional Greek recipes. This Tzatziki sauce was in the book and I couldn't wait to give it a try!
What is Greek Tzatziki Sauce? Greek Tzatziki Sauce is a greek yogurt based sauce/dip with grated cucumbers, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Some recipes may also contain dill.
How Do I Make Greek Tzatziki Sauce?Authentic Greek Tzatziki sauce is incredibly easy to make. It took me about 10 minutes from start to finish. Just mix together the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. After everything is mixed well, refrigerate a few hours to allow the flavors to develop. It will keep about 5 to 7 in the refrigerator.
The most important aspect of this recipe is squeezing out all of the liquid from the cucumber. I grated the cucumber and then squeezed it with my fist. Once I had squeezed most of the liquid out, I wrapped the cucumber in paper towels and gave it one last squeeze before adding it to the Greek yogurt.
Make sure to buy plain Greek yogurt for this recipe. I used full-fat Greek yogurt in my Authentic Greek Tzatziki. I haven't tried this with low-fat or fat-free Greek yogurt, but I am sure it would be fine.
What to Serve With Greek Tzatziki Sauce?Tzatziki sauce is traditionally served with just about everything in Greece. I think we had it with every meal! Lamb, meatballs, chicken, gyros, bread - everything. I made some naan bread to go with our Authentic Greek Tzatziki. I brushed the naan bread with olive oil. Next, I sprinkled it with some garlic and dried oregano. Finally, I drizzled some honey on top of the bread and baked it for about 5 minutes. SO good!!
Here are a few recipes from the blog that would be great with this Authentic Greek Tzatziki Sauce:
easy, quick, kid-friendly, gluten-free, dip, gyro, lamb, meatballs, low-carb, keto, naan, greek yogurt

It was only a matter of time until Jessica Biel had to puller duty as a woman of the woods. Yes, the actress appears in Justin Timberlake's music video for his new song "Man of the Woods," released Friday, marking her first-ever appearance in one of her husband's videos. In the video, Timberlake, wearing an appropriately outdoorsy red plaid shirt, distressed jeans, and hiking boots, skips, jumps, and dances through the woods—incidentally, a great way to break an ankle and/or neck—while the camera acts as the eyes of a person following him. Midway through, it's revealed that it's actually Biel who had been following him all around. After the pair take a shot of tequila, they hop in a rowboat before being magically transported to the dance floor inside a rustic tavern. Biel, in a dreamy, backless white dress cinched at the waist with a belt, waltzes around the room with her husband, then, after a brief dance break for JT and an army of woodsy Timber-clones, dances off into a field, arm-in-arm with her husband.
Earlier this week, while going track-by-track through his new album Man of the Woods with Beats 1's Zane Lowe, Timberlake opened up about the romantic inspiration for the titular track. "There are other songs on the album, videos that I feel require a different level of performance, but that one was the first song written for the album that was written specifically about [Biel]," he said of the song, which includes sweet lyrics like, "How do I ever explain what I've got with you? / I try to find the words, but they hide and that's the truth / And nobody ever will understand what we do / There's only one, me and you." Timberlake continued, "There's two love letters on the album. 'Man of the Woods' is my love letter to her, and 'Young Man' is my love letter to my son. And so it just felt like nothing else would do."
The Super Bowl LII halftime performer also spoke about how happy he was to star alongside Biel in the music video for the song. "You hear all these stories about people who work together that are, you know, bonded otherwise, and it was so easy," he said. "I actually hope we get to work together again on more stuff, you know, because having her around, she's such an influence on the album. And so in that song being so special, it just felt like a great moment for us to share. And I just wanted it to be honest."

Compensation for Ohio Maritime & Longshoreman Injuries
In the wake of serious accidents and injuries on the Ohio River and other Ohio waterways, injured workers may face a number of challenges that may be remedied by proper compensation from government protections and negligent employer responsibilities.
Workers may be covered under the Jones Act, The Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, or may have a claim against an employer or boat operator if the party in question is negligent and leads to an injury on the job.
Workers on Lake Erie or the Ohio River in Ohio, Kentucky, or Indiana may suffer an injury while performing their daily tasks, and end up in a difficult financial situation due to lost wages, mounting medical costs, disability, and pain and suffering.
In many cases, injured workers may be in danger of permanent disabilities that can largely affect future earnings, and have a huge amount of medical bills to pay due to rehabilitation and other expenses.
Severe injuries may leave individuals with a malady that requires life-long medical attention. Because of the financial risks and the responsibilities of employers, injured workers may have a claim that can help pay for individual and family expenses following an accident.
Joe Lyon is an experienced Ohio workplace injury attorney well-versed in the legal and economic impact injuries and illnesses have on a victim and their family.
Ohio Maritime Worker & Longshoreman Injuries
Working in the maritime industry on towboats, barges, docks and piers can be one of the most dangerous occupations in the nation. Various positions can be in danger of serious injuries, including deckhands, pilots, mates, captains, engineers, seamen and cooks.
Around docks and harbors, boat maintenance crew and workers involved in loading and unloading cargo work around heavy equipment that can fail and cause serious injury or death. Some common injuries sustained by workers in Ohio include:
- Crush Injuries
- Orthopedic Trauma
- Head Injuries
- Spinal Injuries
- Lacerations
- Amputations
- Benzene Exposure
Compensation For Workplace Injuries
With the help of employee protections in place and an experienced attorney, victims of maritime and longshoreman injuries are able to recover the huge costs of an accident.
The Lyon Firm is fully committed to helping injured workers and their families recoup rightful financial compensation from negligent employers. Costs that may be recovered from worker injuries can include the following:
- Hospital expenses
- Long-term rehabilitation
- Home medical care
- Lost wages
- Future earning capacity
- Future health complications
- Pain and suffering
- Vocational rehabilitation
If a negligent employer refuses to compensate a worker for injuries or illnesses related to the workplace, you may contact a legal professional to investigate the accident and file a claim against a company. There may be several channels available to compensate injured Ohio waterway workers.
In the event of a fatality, the survivors and family members of a victim may file a claim and seek compensation for wrongful death, lost wages, and incurred medical expenses.
If you or a loved one has suffered an injury at an Ohio workplace, and have questions about the legal remedies available to improve quality of life and medical care in Ohio, contact The Lyon Firm (800) 513-2403. You will speak directly with Mr. Lyon, and he will help you answer these critical questions.

KARACHI: Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) on Thursday sent Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) sector in charge and former MPA Nadeem Hashmi on a seven-day physical remand.
Hashmi was arrested late on Tuesday over his suspected involvement in the murder of two policemen – Muhammad Ali and Arif – in Hyderi locality. He was subsequently shifted to the Pirabad Police Station where police registered a murder case against him.
The former MPA was taken to court in an armoured personnel carrier (APC). He was held inside the APC briefly in wait for ATC Judge Khalida Yasmeen before being taken to court under heavy security. The exact charges and names of accomplices – if any – would be ascertained during the hearing for remand.
Under ATC rules, police can request for a 14-day remand in order to investigate and prepare their case for the next hearing. Police appealed to the ATC for a 14-day remand but the lawyer of Hashmi appealed for a remand of three days. The court, however, approved a seven-day physical remand. Separately, the MQM has submitted a requisition for Sindh Assembly session.
Talking to the media, MQM MPA Faisal Sabzwari condemned the arrest of former MPA Nadim Hashmi and termed it a conspiracy against the party. He said that any political party or ethnic group should not be targeted in the operation.
He added the party did not resort to protests despite raids in MQM-dominated areas in which, he said, as many as 100 activists had been arrested during the last six days. Sabzwari said that the MQM had announced its support to the federal and Sindh governments for bringing peace in Karachi. He, however, said that the MPA was arrested in a fake case. He asked as to why Taliban sanctuaries were not raided by security agencies.
Hashmi has been booked in the case in FIR No 181/13 under Section 302 of Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) and Section 7 of Anti-Terrorism Act of 1997.

Seasons For Extra Observations
In reference to certain desiderata that have presented themselves in the
course of my researches on this subject (see Report of the British
Association for the Advancement of Science, 1846, p. 163), the _phases_
of the larger barometric undulations, and the _types_ of the various
seasons of the year, demand particular attention and call for extra
observations at certain seasons: of these, three only have yet been
ascertained--the type for the middle of November--the annual depression
on or about the 28th of November--and the annual elevation on or about
the 25th of December. The enunciation of the first is as under: "That
during fourteen days in November, more or less equally disposed about
the middle of the month, the oscillations of the barometer exhibit a
remarkably symmetrical character, that is to say, the fall succeeding
the transit of the maximum or the highest reading is to a great extent
similar to the preceding rise. This rise and fall is not continuous or
unbroken; in some cases it consists of _five_, in others of _three_
distinct elevations. The complete rise and fall has been termed the
great symmetrical barometric wave of November. At its setting in the
barometer is generally low, sometimes below twenty-nine inches. This
depression is generally succeeded by _two_ well-marked undulations,
varying from one to two days in duration. The central undulation, which
also forms the apex of the great wave, is of larger extent, occupying
from three to five days; when this has passed, two smaller undulations
corresponding to those at the commencement of the wave make their
appearance, and at the close of the last the wave terminates." With but
slight exceptions, the observations of eight successive years have
confirmed the general correctness of this type. On two occasions the
central apex has not been the highest, and these deviations, with some
of a minor character, form the exceptions alluded to. This type only has
reference to London and the south-eastern parts of England; proceeding
westward, north-westward, and northward, the symmetrical character of
this type is considerably departed from; each locality possessing its
own type of the barometric movements during November. The desiderata in
immediate connexion with the November movements, as observed in the
southern and south-eastern parts of England, that present themselves,
are--the determination of the types for November, especially its middle
portion, as exhibited on the oceanic surface within an area comprised
between the 30th and 60th parallels, and the 1st and 40th meridians
west. Vessels sailing within this area may contribute greatly to the
determination of these types by making observations at intervals of
three hours from the 1st of November to the 7th or 8th of December. The
entire period of the great symmetrical wave of November will most
probably be embraced by such a series of observations, as well as the
annual depression of the 28th. For the elevation of the 25th of December
the three-hourly observations should be commenced on the 21st, and
continued until the 3rd or 4th of the succeeding January.
With respect to the great wave of November, our knowledge of it would be
much increased by such a series of observations as mentioned above,
being made on board surveying and other vessels employed off Scotland
and Ireland; vessels navigating the North Sea; vessels stationed off the
coasts of France, Spain, Portugal, and the northern parts of Africa, and
at all our stations in the Mediterranean. In this way the area of
examination would be greatly enlarged, and the _differences_ of the
curves more fully elucidated; and this extended area of observation is
the more desirable, as there is some reason to believe that the line of
greatest symmetry _revolves_ around a fixed point, most probably the
nodal point of the great European systems.
It is highly probable that movements of a somewhat similar character,
although presenting very different curves, exist in the southern
hemisphere. The November wave is more or less associated with storms. It
has been generally preceded by a high barometer and succeeded by a low
one, and this low state of the barometer has been accompanied by stormy
weather. We are therefore prepared to seek for similar phænomena in the
southern hemisphere, in those localities which present similar states of
weather, and at seasons when such weather predominates. We have already
marked out the two capes in the Southern hemisphere for three-hourly
observations: they must doubtless possess very peculiar barometric
characters, stretching as they do into the vast area of the Southern
Ocean. It is highly probable that the oscillations, especially at some
seasons, are very considerable, and vessels visiting them at such
seasons would do well to record with especial care the indications of
the instruments already alluded to. At present we know but little of the
barometric movements in the Southern hemisphere, and every addition to
our knowledge in this respect will open the way to more important
It has been observed in the south-east of England that the barometer has
generally passed a maximum on or about the 3rd of every month, and this
has been so frequently the case as to form the rule rather than the
exception. The same fact during a more limited period has been observed
at Toronto. With especial reference to this subject the three-hourly
series of observations may be resorted to in all localities, but
especially north of the 40th parallel in the northern hemisphere. They
should be commenced at midnight immediately preceding the 1st and
continued to midnight succeeding the 5th.

When you are tired of your office surroundings or when your brain refuses to supply you with enough imagination to survive those roundtable meetings or just when you feel too bored of life – you just travel to Kerala. Your faith on humanity is restored, you start believing in people and above all you know there are other ways to life. To ensure that our system is fed with this dope, every year me and Sayantani plan an annual trip to Kerala. And this time we got an invite from Intercontinental Hotel Group (IHG) to review Crowne Plaza Kochi property for Indulgence Chronicle. A perfect balance between leisure and business, this luxury property has carved out a niche for itself. With handpicked teams and well equipped rooms, Crowne Plaza Kochi should be in your experience list this season.
The early morning 6E flight we took from Delhi made a smooth landing at Kochi Airport, India's only airport completely powered by solar. Crisscrossing through the city traffic, we reached the hotel in 35 minutes, which means the location is quite good for airport commute. As we got down from the car, we were greeted in typical Indian way with flowers. An ever smiling Emily, the front desk staff, greeted us with tender coconut water. Kerala and coconut are synonymous.
Room with a view
The check in process is super-smooth. Emily emceed us to our room, which is of deluxe category. The room is 34 square meter, a global standard for all Crowne Plaza hotels. As we removed the curtains, we were amazed to find a horizon-kissing backwater right in front of us. In our mind, we have decided to abort the view even for a second for next 48 hours. Where in your home would you get a backwater lake frequented by houseboats.
Well for the uninitiated ones about Kerala, backwater lakes are quite common in this state. The Kerala backwaters are a chain of brackish lagoons and lakes lying parallel to the Arabian Sea coast (known as the Malabar Coast) of Kerala state in southern India. The network includes five large lakes linked by canals, both manmade and natural, fed by 38 rivers, and extending virtually half the length of Kerala state. The backwaters were formed by the action of waves and shore currents creating low barrier islands across the mouths of the many rivers flowing down from the Western Ghats range.

Room features
The room that we were lodged in had a King Size bed, a couch overlooking the glass window. There is well stocked minibar. However as per the Supreme Court's directive, this hotel being beside the highway can't serve alcohol. Just like any other premium business hotel, the internet is wireless and superfast. The washroom has bath tub. So in the evening, after your meetings, just lie flat in the tub and borrow some mineral oil from the Spa.
The hotel has four categories of rooms – deluxe, superior, junior suite, and presidential suite. All rooms are endowed with city view or backwater view.
Crowne Plaza Kochi has all the facilities of a luxury 5 star. It has a well equipped gym, salon and a spa. The Spa has been leased out to Mumbai based Sohum. Being in Kerala, you really can't miss out on Shirodhara and Ayurvedic massages. We opted for the traditional Kerala massage and slipped into an hour of heavenly bliss. The charges are reasonable and worth it.
Food and Kerala go hand in hand. The land of Kerala Biryani and Avial is renowned for cuisines from three regions in the state- Malabar, Kochi and Travancore. We shall discuss about the food of Crowne Plaza in details in our next story to you.
There are four restaurants in the hotel including a coffee lounge. We tried the lunch at Mosaic. Chef Gaurav, in charge of Mosaic is a friendly chap from Punjab. Gaurav offered us a wide variety of buffet meal ranging from a delicious beef curry, roasted duck, Kerala chicken and avail among the major dishes. There was a Sea food delicacy as well, which was loaded with squid, octopus, calamari. There was a lavish live station for Indonesian Chicken satay, Thai rice and Appam and meenkari.
The evening tea was relished at Ashokan's Chayakad, a promotional tea shack at the hotel. A senior chef Ashokan makes refreshing tea and coffee in traditional method where the coffee is added with milk and poured from a height, thus giving it a hint of espresso. But the coffee being filter type, tastes completely different.
The dinner was sorted at the terrace restaurant, rightly named Sky Grill. You can actually see the city beaming with flickering lights like a fairytale. And when you are engrossed in deep thoughts, the chef sends a delicious platter of Caramelized Prawns, Black Pepper Chicken Skewers, Panco coated fish fingers. The prawns so tender! Fish never tasted this divine before. You get a certain high, thanks to the hint of coconut oil.

No matter whether you visit for business, you can always add travel flavour to the trip. The sprawling garden near the pool gives your back water view a moment of truth where you can sit, relax and ponder.

In order to take part, students had to apply with a letter of motivation and CV and only the top students were selected. The event was organised by Prof Sarah Mercer (Anglistik, University of Graz) and Dr Daniel Xerri (University of Malta). The intensive four-day programme included presentations, input sessions, discussion groups, reflection tasks, one-to-one consultations, and a closing poster conference. Expertise was also on hand from two specially invited leading scholars from the field: Prof Gary Barkhuizen (University of Auckland) and Prof Jean-Marc Dewaele (Birkbeck Colleage, University of London). It was a highly rewarding event for all concerned and the location in the old town campus of the University of Malta in Valetta made for an incredibly special backdrop to the working sessions. Overall, it was a great success and we look forward to the next international doctoral summer school.

Harkness returns for the last installment of the All Souls Trilogy: "The Book of Life" where Matthew, Diana, and the various witches, vampires, and daemons we have come to know throughout the trilogy return for the final battle. Here, Diana (a witch) and Matthew (a vampire) fight to establish their own scion, a family unit separate from Matthew's that welcomes creatures of all types – something that goes against the strict rules of the Congregation, which forbids the intermixing of species. To prove their authority and to get to the bottom of the genetic differences that make all creatures unique, Diana and Matthew must first try to obtain the missing pages from the Book of Life (Ashmole 782), an ancient manuscript of spells that tells the history of witches, vampires, and daemons thus far, before she must recall the manuscript itself. Diana must do this while awaiting the birth of her twin babies, the children of her witch-vampire union and something the Congregation will not abide. Another vampire, Matthew's bad seed of a son Benjamin, learns that certain witches can conceive vampire children and is doing his best to breed an army of his own.
Rich in alchemical history, fantasy, science, and magic, this final installment is a solid finish to a wonderful trilogy. Although the story here is not quite as gripping as the first novel, this story will leave Harkness' many fans happy, with Diana and Matthew dictating their own destiny with their young children in tow. The imagery, as always, is incredible, and the intricacies of Diana's spells will leave you awestruck, even though the ending (especially the scientific explanations) feel too easy and a bit rushed.
I'm anxious to see what Harkness will give us next because I think I speak for most when I say I'm very sad to see Diana and Matthew go.
Amazon link for the book is here.
