There are many benefits of debt consolidation for married couples, but the focus is so often on single people managing their finances alone.
A debt consolidation loan can help you both bring your finances back in order, but, you need to understand how to use that loan to its best potential.
Why consolidate your debts as a married couple?
As a married couple, you both had lives before you met one another, which means it's possible that you both carried debt by the time you formed a relationship. When you pool your finances together, it can put great strain on them to have to bear the repayments of your combined debts up to that point.
This is where debt consolidation comes in – you simply take out a debt consolidation loan, pay off the combined debts you have accumulated together, and start your finances afresh! It takes all the pressure of you to keep track of your individual debts, you both now only have the one to think about.
Maximising the potential of debt consolidation
Debt consolidation loans make life so much easier, but it's important to make sure you're using them effectively. To do that, begin by taking stock of the debts you both have. Look at what is left to pay, how high the repayments are, and how regularly they're taken out. This will give you some vital information.
You can determine which loans it makes the most sense for you to pay. If you have many loans between you, you might not be able to cover them all with debt consolidation. Paying off longer-term loans will help you avoid accruing expensive interest over time, so should always be a prime consideration.
Start getting your finances back on track
It's easier than ever to apply for a debt consolidation loan, especially when you deal with the professionals at Debt consolidation loans – they can help you regardless of your circumstances. As long as you're a homeowner, you're guaranteed to be considered, even if you've been refused elsewhere.
We offer Debt Consolidation Loans for homeowners.
Our team is on hand to help with number of questions you may have.

Looking for friends, meet people, etc.
Oexy posted a topic in Make FriendsHello! How are you guys? I'm doing good right now! I'm looking for making friend, in order to meet you; to see that we have a good connection/interest, your personality. About Me I am deaf woman who is 20 year old. I like manga, youtube, netflix, hulu, movies, tv shows, having fun & a good time. (For anime, I have to tell you that I haven't seen new anime in while but I do like old animes such as One Piece, Detective Conan, Sailor Moon, etc.) My personality is very caring about you, sweet, happy to see you, could be goofy and funny if you think I am funny, and always try to cheer you up if you are in having bad day. I dislike texting unless its for like meet up time, bad day, etc. (I really like having conversation in person, I know its virtual world but you get me) some foods (Very picky eater) I know it's short there up but I do have lot of that but I can't remember. I'm online at mostly night or some daylight (I'm in Central Zone Time). I could be not here at some day due to work but willing to try to be there at some point on everyday but I take my real life seriously. Also, I know my account is 7 months old... I tried to do it in the beginning due to compilcated things and find to hard to meet people but I did meet three people, one of them tried to help me. So I gave up... now i'm back, like around the week, this time, I will not give up because it's hard for me but its getting easier now. I researched alot and see their people's experience on it, everyone was new at first and did what I did that is hard for them. Mostly they said its take times, and will get easier. I'm trying, just remember I'm new at this. You could comment below it, you could say about yourself if you want to, etc. I'm asking for a chance for meet me if you might be friends with me. Have a good day, everyone! 😊

Never Die Alone Ernest Dickerson
Published Mar 01, 2004After wearing out his East Coast welcome, small-time drug lord King David (DMX) heads to California with a bag of stolen heroin and aspirations of rebuilding his empire. But the King is doomed to repeat his mistakes and continues to destroy the lives that surround him. By the time he returns to New York to make amends, old wounds have festered and karma comes home to roost.
Based on cult writer Donald Goines's novel of the same name, Never Die Alone explores the African-American experience of urban violence and drugs without the overt moral commentary that has characterised similar efforts by directors like John Singleton and Spike Lee.
Despite the King's attempts at finding redemption through confession he records preachy memoirs on a series of audiotapes shortly before his death the storytellers seem indifferent to the content of those confessions. Ultimately, the tapes do little to redeem the character and serve more as a biographic document than as a moral compass for the story.
So where Singleton tends to get the moralising wrong (Higher Learning oversimplifies the issues) and Lee tends to get it right (Bamboozled is poignantly critical of ignorance within black communities), neither Dickerson nor his collaborators seem to have anything to say about all the sadness their story reiterates. As a portrait of the urban condition at its worst, this is a sad reminder, but what does it all mean?
One further quibble: the film's darker sequences seem under-lit and grainy (by cinematographer Matthew Libatique) as a result of trying to fix bad lighting in post-production. Before building his career as a director, Dickerson was an accomplished cinematographer, with credits like Malcolm X and Do the Right Thing to his name. He should have overseen a more professional photographing of his story.
Never Die Alone also features David Arquette as a white journalist who watches the story unfold, and Clifton Powell as a powerful gangster basking in the glory of his bitches and coke. (Fox Searchlight)

The Honourable Minister Of State, Mines and Steel Development,Dr. Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah, has received in audience the Executive Members of The Economic Strategic Growth And Development Initiative Of Africa (ESGADIA), led by Chairman Of The Board, Prof Patrick Lumumba and Maazi Obinna Agommuo, the Founder and Executive Director.
They took opportunity of their courtesy call to congratulate The Honourable Minister who is also a member of the noble African Economic Development group and to present him with research materials on the way forward in key mining areas and funding opportunities.
Dr. Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah used the occasion to reveal to the team some of the plans and strategies being put in place to ensure that the mining sector takes its rightful place in Nigeria. Some of the plans he said is aimed at making the Ministry Of Mines And Steel Development the Star Ministry of President Muhammadu Buhar's regime and to create millions of jobs for Nigerian youths.
He told his visitors of the determination of his minister's colleague, whom he refers to as "My Brother", to put everything in place to aid their plan.
Speaking about their plan to bring Ajaokuta Steel Rolling Mill back on stream, Dr. Ogah said they were more than committed to make it happen because it will be part of President Muhammadu Buhar's legacy.
In his words, " Ajaokuta when back on stream will create five hundred thousand (500 000) direct jobs, in addition to ten (10) draftsmen required to work with each operator on the metallurgical machines; thereby bringing the total number of those to be employed to over five million. This will be strategic to meeting the mandate given to ministers by President
Muhammadu Buhari to create hundreds million jobs in the next ten years "
He also said "we have a plan to establish gold refinery, ensure standards in the sector amongst other things we will have to tackle"
Lamenting the decline of the mining sector and the need to ensure standardisation, Dr. Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah said "the focus is to reduce the exportation of raw minerals and to begin to make them into Finished Goods. And my brother and I are determined to ensure Best global practices in the industry."
He also said he was happy that "the Staff of the ministry are positively motivated to help us push our agenda."
Prof Patrick Lumumba after introducing members of his delegation, told the Honourable Minister Of State, that they were happy that he is a member of their group and that their coming was to present him with research materials relating to the sector and to seek for collaboration with his ministry.
Maazi Obinna Agunmuo, the Founder and Executive Director in his speech told Dr. Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah, that "Mines And Steel Development sector is the future of Nigeria's development and key to housing development in away that the minerals needed for cheap cement production are within this ministry's purview."
He lamented the high cost of cement when the opportunity exist for cheaper production that could lead to price fall below a thousand naira.
He informed him of a plan by ESGADIA to attract investors in cement production who may be willing to establish factories in six geopolitical zones of the federation and as well make housing cheaper and help reduce the twenty five million housing units deficit.
Maazi Obinna Agommuo also supported The Honourable Minister's view on the need to establish gold refinery and other products processing plants within the sector, which will create jobs for Nigerian youths and bring more revenue into the coffers of the federation.
Dr. Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah led the delegation to the office of the Honourable Minister Of Mines And Steel Development, Arch. Olamilekan Adegbite, who also had brief interaction with them.
Prof Patrice Lumuba told The Honourable Ministers that they are expecting them to utilize their wealth of experience along with President Muhammadu Buhar and other members of his cabinet to lift the nation and the continent of Africa out of poverty .
The courtesy visit ended on a friendly note as the Ministers exchanged pleasantries with the delegation and promised to work with the organisation going forward.

KCLS Online Program: What Do Sports Teach Our Kids?
August 3 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pmFree
For adults.
Sports are more than games—they can provide role models, instill values, and provide wonder and inspiration. But is there a cost to a child watching or playing sports, with recent issues such as the NFL concussion scandal, athlete drug abuse and controversies over protesting the national anthem? Drawing from sociology, philosophy and years of studying, coaching, and playing sports, presenter Eric Davis explores these deeper themes.
Davis is an Associate Professor of Sociology and Program Chair for the Cultural & Ethnic Studies Department at Bellevue College. Davis served as an academic adviser in the UW Athletic Department from 2004-2009. A former college student-athlete himself, Davis holds degrees from UCLA and Seattle University.

The Estonian government at a sitting on Thursday decided to support the establishment of a Just Transition Mechanism with which support would be given from the European Union's long-term budget for 2021-2027 for the regions most affected by the transition to climate neutrality in order to avoid increasing regional disparities.
The mechanism consists of three parts. The EU would provide €7.5 billion from the EU budgetary framework for the Just Transition Mechanism. The proposed contribution to Estonia would be €125 million.
These resources from the EU budget will be further complemented by national co-financing according to cohesion policy rules. A fair transition plan must be established for the region affected by the transaction that serves as a prerequisite for the use of funds.
The second part of the mechanism is a dedicated just transition scheme under InvestEU to mobilize up to €45 billion of investments. It will attract private investments that benefit those regions and help their economies find new sources of growth. For example, this could include projects for decarbonization, economic diversification of the regions, energy, transport and social infrastructure.
Thirdly, the plan includes a public sector loan facility with the European Investment Bank (EIB) backed by the EU budget to mobilize €25-30 billion euros of investments. It will be used for concessional loans to the public sector, for example, for investments in energy and transport infrastructure, district heating networks, and renovation or insulation of buildings. The loan facility will rely on a contribution of €1.5 billion from the EU budget and EIB lending of €10 billion euros at its own risk. The European Commission will table a legislative proposal to set up this new public sector loan facility in March 2020.
The purpose of the Just Transition Mechanism is to support the regions and sectors most affected by the transition to climate neutrality, given their dependence on fossil fuels, including coal, peat and oil shale or industrial processes with high greenhouse gas emissions. Economic diversity in the regions, retraining of workers and jobseekers and social inclusion will be supported.
The InvestEU dedicated Just Transition Mechanism and the European Investment Bank (EIB) public sector loan facility are the second and third pillars of the just transition that leverage the effectiveness of the Just Transition Mechanism in meeting EU climate goals. At the same time, these financial instruments have a broader geographic scope than the mechanism, so projects outside the territory defined by the mechanism may be supported through these pillars. Such projects must play a key role in the transition taking place in a fair transition territory.

The Power of Moments: Why Certain Experiences Have Extraordinary Impact, by Chip Heath and Dan Heath
IN EVERYONE's life, there are moments that have enormous impact.
The moment when you look at your manager doing the same work as you, only with larger numbers, and you realise that you will be her if you stay in this job for the next ten years. And so, you make plans to leave.
That moment when you find your calling because of something someone says spontaneously, as they catch you doing something exceptional.
In this very accessible book, the brothers Chip and Dan Heath examine defining moments, identify the traits they have in common, and look at what makes a particular experience memorable and meaningful.
They demonstrate how defining moments share a set of common elements. More importantly, they demonstrate how you can create defining moments by using those elements.
Why would you want to create them? "Our lives are measured in moments, and defining moments are the ones that endure in our memories," they explain.
Their insights are a critical lesson for anyone in a service business (as we all are), in management, and in our personal lives.
A study of hotels reviewed on TripAdvisor shows that when guests say they experienced a "delightful surprise" (or what the Heaths call a 'moment'), 94% unconditionally recommend the hotel, but only 60% of guests who were "very satisfied" will do the same.
Can you remember your first day at your current company? Most likely it was not a defining moment.
The receptionist didn't think you were starting until next week. She shows you to a desk with the previous incumbent's remnants. Your boss has not arrived yet. Eventually, a friendly person from your floor introduces herself and then interrupts 11 people by introducing you to them. You have managed to annoy all your colleagues within the first hour. You immediately forget all their names.
Compare that to joining the John Deere office in Asia.
Soon after you accept employment there, you get an email from a "John Deere Friend". She introduces herself and shares some of the basics: where to park, what the dress norms are, and tells you that she'll be waiting to greet you at 08:00 on your first day.
The flat-screen monitor in reception has a headline: "Welcome, Sam!" Your John Deer Friend shows you to your desk, where there is a tall banner that alerts people that you are new. People stop by during the day and introduce themselves.
The background image on your monitor is a gorgeous shot of John Deere equipment on a farm at sunset, with the caption: "Welcome to the most important work you'll ever do."
The first email you receive is from the CEO of John Deere with a short video, in which he talks about the company's mission, and closes by saying, "Enjoy the rest of your first day, and I hope you'll enjoy a long, successful, fulfilling career as part of the John Deere team."
There's a gift on your desk - a replica of John Deere's 1837 plough, and a card explaining why farmers loved it. Your Friend fetches you for lunch with a small group, who ask about your background and tell you about projects they're working on. Later, your manager comes over and makes plans to have coffee with you next week.
You leave the office that day, thinking: I belong here; the work we're doing matters. And I matter to them. This is a defining moment, a relatively short experience that is both memorable and meaningful.
So, how are defining moments created? The Heaths have identified four elements.
Moments are created by "Elevation" – going beyond the normal course of events to create the extraordinary. A bouquet of flowers from your bank, celebrating the opening of the bond so that you can acquire your new home, and thanking you for choosing them.
Defining moments can also rewire our understanding of ourselves or the world through an "Insight". In seconds or minutes, we realise something that might influence our lives for decades: Now is the time for me to start my own business, or this is the person I'm going to marry. It can also be a "crystallization of discontent," when you suddenly see an awful truth about a situation or person that you have ignored.
When we attain important milestones, we experience moments of "Pride". These are defining moments because they catch us at our best, in moments of achievement, showing courage, earning recognition, or conquering challenges.
Moments of "Pride" usually involve having our skill noticed by others. Much research show that while 80% of managers claim they frequently express appreciation, less than 20% of employees report they do. Surveys find the top reason people leave their jobs is a lack of praise and recognition and the absence of 'Pride'.
The corporate response has generally been to create recognition programmes, like 'Employee of the Month' awards or annual banquets recognising star performers. These programmes are inadequate - one employee per month! How about recognition weekly or even daily? And the formality of corporate programmes often breeds cynicism.
The last element of moments that are defining is that they are social moments of "Connection". Weddings, graduations, baptisms, work triumphs are strengthened because we share them with others.
"If you want to be part of a group that bonds like cement, take on a really demanding task that's deeply meaningful. All of you will remember it for the rest of your lives."
Purpose beats passion
People don't connect as deeply around 'passion' as they do around 'purpose'. Passion is the feeling of excitement or enthusiasm that you have for your work or interest. 'Purpose' is the sense that you are contributing to others, and that your work has broader meaning.
Passion is individualistic, and while it can energise, it also isolates, because my passion isn't yours. By contrast, purpose is something people can share. It can knit groups together.
In a study of 32 paid lifeguards, one group read four stories describing how other lifeguards had benefited from the skills they acquired on the job. The second group read four stories about other lifeguards rescuing drowning swimmers. The difference between the two groups was striking.
The group that read about the meaning their work had for others voluntarily signed up for 43% more hours of work in the weeks following the intervention, and their helping behaviour increased by 21%. There was no increase in helping behaviour or hours worked by those who read about the personal benefits of the job.
These differences in behaviour were produced by nothing more dramatic than 30 minutes of reading and talking about what they read. Such is the power of moments of 'Connection.'
Some powerful defining moments contain all four elements, and using all adds even more impact.
Three situations deserve punctuation. Some are "transitions" such as a new job, or retirement. "Milestones" such as promotion or graduation, and "pits" such as divorce or the death of a loved one.
We will benefit greatly by being alert to these opportunities and the huge value they can hold if done well. A good place to start is to read this book.Readability: Light --+-- Serious

Happy New Year. Welcome to 2018.
I am so glad you have been graced to see this New Year. Glory to Jesus. I pray that the excelling peace of Christ shall light every day of this year for you. Amen. If you've been an ardent follower of our blog, you would have discovered it has a new theme. We have rebranded it (very 2018, lol) to give you the best reading experience and comfort. Kindly reach out to us if you have any suggestions to make this blog better. Thanks.
Today, we would be considering this topic coming at a very strategic time "A New Beginning" with a deep exposition into the life of Jacob.
It is usually said that Bible never flatter its heroes. It records the good, the bad and the ugly part of their lives. The records of the life of Abraham, David etc. rightly stamps this fact. Man tries to make himself look better than he actually is, but God knows what every man is and he is privy to every intent of man. Jacob was another example of such heroes filled with imperfections and flaws. He wasn't anything close to a perfect man. His name even means "Supplanter" which means "Deceiver, Uprooter, and Cheater." However, God gave him a new beginning. God can give you a new beginning too.
We cannot discuss about Jacob's new beginning without making mention of his past. So let's read a brief of his history. When Jacob was born, he was not given birth to alone. He was the twin of his brother Esau. Esau came out of their mother's womb first and the Bible recorded that during birth, Jacob gripped the heel of his brother. Esau grew up to become a hunter and he was preferred by their father Isaac. Jacob on the other hand was his mother's delight. His mother even plotted with him in deceiving their father.
In the process of time, Jacob deceived his brother and stole his birth right and blessing. He was living up to his scandalous nickname, a world class deceiver. For fear of his brother's wrath, he ran away from home and on his way he had a vision of the gates of heaven. In his deceitful way he gave God a condition. Let us see from the Bible,
"Gen 28:20 – And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
Gen 28:21 – So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God…."
Although God still brought this promise to pass, what Jacob was trying to do here was that he was dictating to God. What a man!
He was more concerned with physical blessings and he nursed an ulterior motive. See, in this New Year, we have to stop giving God conditions, we have to put our trust in him completely and follow his instructions because it is then that he will fulfil His promises over our lives. Also, our ulterior motive should not be money and riches when we pray. We have to purge our motives with the word of God.
When Jacob left this place in Genesis 28, he went to his uncle – Laban, a man who was as cunning as he was. He finally met his match. His uncle tricked him into serving him for over 14 years instead of the 7 years he was supposed to use. After his years of service, he and his family secretly left his uncle and embarked on a journey to the land of his father – Isaac. On his journey, he had a life changing encounter. He came in contact with God and God gave him a new beginning. Let us see this from the bible,
"Gen 32:24 – And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
Gen 32:25 – And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
Gen 32:26 – And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
Gen 32:27 – And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
Gen 32:28 – And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed."
An important phrase I want us to note in this Bible passage is "He was left alone." That means he had run out of his schemes, he had no cunning strategy to use, he was totally helpless and he was finally broken. He had to come to a point of absolute dependence on God. It is funny how we choose to rely on our wisdom and understanding instead of God, we think we can do things on our own, we often times forget that in him we live and have our being. God is calling onto us this New Year, he is saying to us, "Trust in me, depend on me, I will help you."
Verses 27 and 28 also presents a noteworthy lesson. When God changes the life of a man, he changes his name. God transformed Jacob and changed his name from Jacob meaning "deceiver" to Israel meaning "may God prevail." God still does this in our time, when He transforms the life of a sinner, He changes his name from "Sinner" to "Righteous", from "slave" to "Son." God is ready to change your name today. He is ready to give you a new beginning. You just have to accept his Lordship over your life. After God changed the name of Jacob, he brought him to the place of fulfilment – his promised land. God also wants to take you to your promised land. Don't venture on the journey of 2018 yourself, place your trust in him. Wait for his word. The Bible says,
"Isa 26:3 – Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee."
Do you want perfect peace today? Do you want to start the journey of 2018 with Christ? Say this prayer with me:
Father, I come to you today. I ask that you forgive me all my sins. I am sorry for living my life the way I want in the past years. Forgive me of all my sins. I want you to be the Lord and Saviour of my life. I want you to lead me in 2018. Thank you Lord. Amen.
Welcome to your New Beginning. Proceed into 2018 with God-confidence, trust in him every day. You are blessed.
Thanks for joining us today. Kindly share this post with all your family and friends. And see you again on Thursday. Bye.

Changing vocalists is never an easy task, but that's exactly what Oceans Inside have done and returned stronger than ever. After some brief inactivity on the live front to get things perfect and ready, the guys are back and ready to make their charge in the alternative music scene. We caught up with the band to discuss the lineup change, new music and who delivered the best festival lineup this summer.
There's been some big changes within the band as of late, including the addition of Mat Dwyer on vocals. Take us through the band's metamorphosis and the reasons behind it!
Back at the start of the year Lisa (vocals) decided to leave the band to pursue different and new creative outlets (she is currently working under the moniker Mylki with M4Sonic). This left us in a bit of a state deciding whether we should find somebody to replace Lisa and continue in the direction we were heading or take it as an opportunity to re-invent ourselves. After running a few auditions we met Mat who brought with him an energy and sound that we hadn't had before. Whilst not necessarily heavier, although there's some harder edges to our new songs, there's a definite darker feel to our music, the old and the new.
Has the lineup change shaken up the band dynamic at all?
Definitely. Previously our sound was very much built around the light and dark contrast of punk/post-hardcore music with more pop orientated vocals. We are still going for that wall of sound vibe but with Mat it's feels like more of a cohesive wall of sound.
With the vocals position now filled, is there any new material being written?
With extensive re-writes of our previous songs to fit more with Mat's vocal style and lyrical themes we have taken the opportunity to re-invent quite a few of them. We also are about to hit the studio to drop a new single which is the first new song written with Mat. It's called 'Passenger' and will be dropping early 2020.
We saw your debut show at the Steadfast single release. Were there any nerves performing again and with a new lineup?
Firstly, cheers for coming! It was a killer night. I wouldn't say nerves so much as a feeling of needing to prove ourselves again. Changing vocalists is often a make or break moment for many bands and we didn't want people to feel that we were just limping on. We think that what Mat brings is a totally different energy.
Are more shows on the cards for you guys before the year is out?
We've had our heads down re-writing the old and making the new since our debut supporting Steadfast. Our main goal now is to get Passenger recorded and released. Look out for shows including a single launch in early 2020.
Who are five Aussie locals we should be listening to?
Fang, Totally Unicorn, Bare Bones, Weighbridge, Steadfast
Which Australian festival out of Download, Good Things, Invasion Fest or Unify has come out with the best lineup in your opinion and who are you most excited to see?
Up until Download dropped I was probably most excited for Good Things however with Deftones, Baroness, In Flames, Ministry, Thornhill, Clutch, amongst many others, Download definitely has us frothing.
Anything you'd like to plug or leave us with before you go?
Be excellent to each other.

Christmas is next week…are you ready for it? Families and individuals everywhere are no doubt feeling the frenzy that comes in these final days leading up to the big holiday. There are cookies to be baked, parties to attend, gifts to buy and wrap, and homes to decorate, both inside and out. The holiday season is full of lots of fun activities and traditions, but with our busy schedules that we tend to do experience this time of year, it is often easy to forget what real meaning of the holiday: spreading holiday cheer through giving! Whether you're giving to co-workers and friends, loved ones, or people you don't know in the community, maintaining a strong giving spirit is vital!
Snuggling into your warm and cozy home is a wonderful thing, and it's something that many of us take for granted. Others near you may be struggling to pay the heating bill and it is easy to forget that there are people out there that simply don't have what they need to survive on a day to day basis. Maybe you recently upgraded your heating system in your office or home and you're loving that. This season, remember all of those that are without a warm place to go home to, or a comforting meal to eat around a table with people they love. How can you give back? Next time you're at the store stocking up on food for your next holiday get together, buy some extra cans of food and learn how you can donate to your local homeless shelter or food bank. Local organizations around town are often swamped with requests for assistance during the holidays.
Or, consider how you can take part in more of a hands-on giving experience, handing out blankets or putting together stockings full of toiletries, snacks, or other essentials that you can hand out to people that you meet in the community that may require extra support. There are a lot of great non-profit agencies nearby that collect clothing, diapers, and other materials that are important for families. Reaching out and being involved in these types of activities is a great way to spread love and holiday cheer.
Our team at Hybrid wishes you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Everybody wants a winning hand in card games—let's face it…they want to WIN not lose!!
Customers also want a winning hand. They love it when you ask pertinent questions that help them make decisions before buying your products and services. They want to feel good about their purchases (no buyer's remorse!).
Successful organizations make it clear to all of their employees that they are on a winning team. They believe in the efficacy of the customer experience and understand how to deliver exceptional service to every prospect, customer, client, co-worker, patient, student, passenger (you get the idea!!).
The team with the winning hand has an upbeat attitude which is infectious–it puts the client in a great mood.
When consumers are in a good mood, they are more likely to:
* Buy spontaneously
* Spend more time browsing on your website/brick and mortar store
* Be open to demonstrations to buy new products
* Give your company a favorable review on social media and to friends/colleagues
To make the point more clear, according to data collected by HelpScout,
* 78% of consumers don't go through with their purchase because of poor service
* 60% of American consumers say they would try a different brand while in search of better customer service
* 70% of American consumers will spend more money to purchase a similar product from companies that offer better customer service
Another HelpScout survey found that 80% of companies believe they provide "superior" customer service and only 8% of their customers agree. This pleads the case to use metrics to measure the level of service you provide. Saying that your company delivers amazing service and doing it are two completely different things.
Customer service metrics help you gain a better understanding of whether or not you're providing consumers with the service and support they desire. Ignoring them will deprive clients of having amazing experiences and will contribute to you losing out on a tremendous amount of business.
Let's hear it for teamwork and having THE winning hand in customer service delivery!

The per-capita income growth in each state from 2004-05 to 2009-10 (data from RBI) brings out an interesting chart. You would have expected Gujarat to top the chart, but no – Gujarat's economic growth isn't as good when it comes to the real data than the image they show.
The comparison with neighbour Maharashtra:
Gujarat: 14.8% per year (from 32021 to 63961)
Maharashtra: 15.6% per year (from 35915 to 74027)
I have been looking at Gujarat's comparative growth in general, from an economic data perspective and other than in power, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu have done better in many areas (GDP, State Revenues, per capita consumption etc.) Bihar now runs a huge surplus on the revenue account, and while it's had a low base, the growth has been stellar.
I realize this will attract a lot of pro-Gujarat comments, but please be decent, and note that I'm just plotting the data out there. Even I've heard from enough people that Gujarat is doing a great job, which is what I heard/saw in AP in the early part of the last decade, and which I saw in TN with the roads in 06-07. I think Gujarat does a great PR job, but the data isn't quite following up just yet.
Leasing land at ridiculously low rates and waiving taxes on corporates will help burnish the image of a CM who aspires to be a PM; but it does squat all for the people.
Agree with your observations on AP and TN. Maharashtra has a huge Mumbai advantage. It would be interesting to see Maharashtra numbers excluding Mumbai.
I would like to see what the absolute numbers reflect?
Most of the data about the new states really do not reflect much. They are new and their state revenues are new found treasures. Likewise their per capita income growth. In case of Bihar, there is no influx of poor from other states to Bihar, it has always been an out-bound flow, to neighboring states. In case of West Bengal, every year the figure gets modified by the poor immigrants from Bangladesh and Bihar too. So long as those figures are not put together, the data really would not reflect much. But yes, if you are comparing Tamilnadu, or AP to Gujrat- it is interesting.
"Per capita income growth" is not same as "per capita income". It is not an absolute but a relative scale and hence, states with lower base naturally show stellar performance. It is nothing but just a statistical manipulation. Moreover, "per capita income" itself is also not a panacea. The comparison on "per capita income" calculation should be done only after normalization with due consideration of size of a state and proportion of contribution from a mega city / local business hub. Unless we factor in such careful consideration, alone statistics can prove both — anything and (hence) nothing!!
Absolute scale to measure any development is the available infrastructure, business-supportive government policies, employment etc. Such set of standards can be as folloing : 24 hours electricity throughout a year, sufficient water, good roads even in remote areas, less than 1 % unemployment, scientific agriculture, no labour unrest, business-friendly government policies etc. Please let me know if any of them doesn't deserve to be included as a parameter of development.

According to a recent report from the Australian Council of Social Service and the Brotherhood of St Laurence, Government policies should drive higher energy efficiency standards. For existing housing stock, this could deliver electricity bill savings for Australian households; Saving may go from $289 for apartments up to $1,139 for houses.
Nevertheless, very little action was taken, so far, by either federal or state governments. "It's bewildering that we keep talking about energy efficiency, and governments agree that it's common sense, but do nothing about it," said ACOSS Senior Energy Advisor Kellie Caught.

revealing the ...
Posted by L. Thiel Hewlings on Friday, January 8, 2016
a.merkel and h.clinton wear pants of the same maker: political agenda first, women second class sizing.
in voting for hillary are you really voting for bill? bill all over again? we shared while she was deciding on whether or not to run that it would be wise if she didn't. why we share this is what you see starting to emerge and it will escalate. these things can and do come back to bite.
there are men out in the public in seats of 'honor' … credentialed well according to society, but when has this ever been a sound reason for trust? look at the epidemic in the priesthood … the numbers of clergy/staff ---bishop--- sex abuse of women and children is huge! and the vast cover ups also an epidemic. silencing victims is what so many men and women do without realizing … without wanting to know that this is what they support and pay into … continuously, from their seats of honor. if you are a believer in The Christ, how can Spirit know you? use you for Christ purpose? does Spirit even know you? can {this} know you if you continue to choose policy, candidate, credential, titles … your institutions and seats of honor … over truth, honestly … fair and just practice. pastors, you should know what Lord says of these places. if you don't then it might be wise to get out of that seat so that someone of worth can be of use to the revelation on Light.
it was shown to me this morning that there are men of religion and religious affiliation who are in a predicament … regarding the recent brouhaha on is the god of islam and the god of christianity the same god? do they worship the same god? let us remind you by asking it a different way: is the god of islam the same god as the CHRIST?
going to share here in a way that needs 'adult' supervision, and when we say adult we mean aware in gnosis to some place of negotiation and portent, but honestly the word adult gives me the willies ;) but I feel I must use it because it is what mankind adheres to in use for correct proportions … in his theologies and … what he doles out where and how.
one of the things I love most is swimming deep into the Writings (what some call sacred text, scripture, holy book, the Word, God's Word). when Lord shows me a passage I am like: oh, good! hurray! I can get out of the muck of politics and religious strife and the seedy operations of these men of ignorance and militant cadence and follow my heart … which is a communing in the wealth of the Spirit. understand, please, if you have been foraging in entitlement of the religio-political stealth that the Writings piece more subjectively in man's world, but in the realm of Light, the piercing carries no weight. I am a free "wolf" to howl (sing, worship, rejoice, praise, despair, share and care) without all the baggage man believes is important to be saved or to save. but 'saving' is misunderstood while hanging self out there to reconcile beliefs with every tome, dick and heritage that comes along. it's worldly acumen. the loss of john's (baptist) head shows this metaphor in Light on the Word. no Heart no Light, so … if man needs to loose his headship to gain worth in Life … Aman. after all, didn't they call Jesus a winebibber?
no one is asking 'you' to go against religiously held beliefs. if ssm is a problem don't allow it to be your problem. why do you fight the hypocrisy while playing the hypocrite? now, notice we have not stated what type of problem ssm is. notice in saying religiously held beliefs we did not state the beliefs. never assume you know what is written when it comes to what you read. you are surface gazing if you assume you know based on all the other statements you've read in your lifetime that is telling you what to think.
this, for a start …
continuing …
one of the things that never made sense to me as a child was why a God of love would deny people of "judaism" because they rejected Jesus. looking at the way religionists claiming Jesus throughout the centuries treated those of judaism and others taught me that man in his religions must have misunderstood Jesus, and in misunderstanding Jesus they misunderstood his followers. through this discernment I came to see jew in the Writings as metaphor for those demanding to see God, proof of Spirit, or some form of miracle before believing Christ Jesus as the Son of God . ha, in truth, this could be anyone … muslim, christian, atheist or one of judaism. and now, having come fully within, I know that jew in what is called the new testament of man's bibles is not restricted to a people of ethnic and religious origin, but it does ask these, along with all peoples … what they believe.
let's consider … the miracle. who/what demands a miracle to canonize someone of their institution a saint? someone that they are encouraged to pray to for …. health, safety, finding a pair of shoes and (whatever). the jew, of course! ;) he neither sees nor hears Spirit in these spectacles. his is based on hearsay and titles and credential and … membership within his ideology for sainthood to be. but … how impartial is that? ;) this is not God's work, it's man's desires for his agendas---------right?
In Truth, God does not operate that way. and one cannot deny the very real fact that Jesus never states what is saint. where do you read in the new covenant what is the saint? man in his religious affiliations was super busy creating his god-s for …. what? institution. pope? institution based on what is pope? institution. another noun on it is … system of belief.
so, if islam and christianity, which the press tells is also the pope/vatican/roman catholic church-doctrine of the church, worship the same god … where are the miracles of islam? why would the god of the rcc allow only miracles within membership of the rcc but not islam?
cont ...
man is in his theology or policy has not thought through his beliefs … has not thought through his practices and where/how these pair up with statements by the rcc: the god of christianity and the god of islam worship the same god. hmm .. it has always been of question whether the roman catholic church is at all christian, because of their popes as holy father and the worshipping there. that and many other teachings that run directly opposed to what Jesus says … Jesus and his followers. so, one might ask if the rcc is really the right 'person' to announce something as controversial as christian and islamist worshipping the same god. what would be their purpose in stating this? but okay, let's just say it meant to say that the roman catholic church and islam worship the same god … then the christian could more easily look to the early followers of Jesus and say, nope, islam has a prophet that is not written in the Word, not according to the accepted texts the believers claiming Jesus---claiming Christ call the holy, sacred texts. Jesus never married or had children. HIs marriage was of the Holy Spirit---ONE WITH THIS. ahhh … then we begin to understand why a "Truth Believer" as we shall them them cannot accept the god of roma or the god of islam as Spirit (God).
but what about Jesus as the Son of God? people may ask. where and how does this find its place in Truth? :D
Spiritual Metaphor.

we are all big boys and girls to discuss this … yes? there has been enough written by now … after all this time … on what Jesus … Christ … Jesus Christ … Christ Jesus … Son of God … Prince of Peace … might mean. Jesus and Christ being Koine Greek? somewhere in this translated version arose a what? anointed … messiah … and Jesus says what? Heart. does this mean that Jesus is just a myth? yes an no. Jesus is myth but Christ is not myth. I can hear the gnashing of teeth ;) WHAT?! Jesus is an adjunct meaning … a PREFACE to Christ for the deliverance of mankind, but a necessary part. but do notice in the Writings where Paul has written Christ Jesus instead of Jesus Christ. hmmm … much intent on his part in writing this, but what hears this? Christ … the followers of. because, remember, we are engaging in Prophesy.
now, why would man reject this that is shared above? because I am not a male credentialed person of society? a father of their church? a member of their tribe? and hey, we've only just begun …
are you saying Jesus never existed? no, Jesus, or, ... one in Light on Love, came for the purpose of calling … calling man out of his manhood for something more supreme, more just and more healthy … for all peoples. there was a real flesh and blood prophet walking among the people of the galilee and those who dwelled there, one moved by Truth … one moved by a God of Love. and there was a real need to move man out of some awful practices. one example? the stoning. stoning women man said was adulterous and numerous, numerous other "unlawful" infractions without what? just cause. without what? proper judiciary. without what? compassion. without what? knowledge. without what? understanding. without what? love. man who made her sometimes even forcing her into prostitution was not usually the one getting stoned …… was he? how convenient for man to rid himself of what he no longer needed. the dearth of evidence is endless. now how can anyone in their right mind question the need for the prophet sent to help quell such insolence and lack of love?
but what of what followed? the orthodox churches? the roman church? the roman catholic churches and others? was---is islam the answer? for what purpose in this day does islam speak? or even the rcc through their current pontiff? for what purpose on the Christ do these caliphate organizations speak?
these are the questions society needs to be asking. not in a harsh and distant manner … but in a direct and firm manner. and if answers are vague or nonexistent or hiding behind labels, titles and big name brands, or politically correct whachamacallits … showing self or institution of contradiction here then there … not compatible with truths … not fair and just in belief and practice … investigations ensue and should ensue and if anyone refuses to comply with necessary investigations … are they hiding crimes and criminals … sordid intent?
concerned citizens have a right to know if their family members are safe … will be safe … where the nation is headed on policy and will their struggles be in some way addressed and not overlooked for prize fights and policy that gets candidates voted into office. do not treat them as idiots or deny them their worth! and stop dumping your ignorance and laziness on the hardworking families and family members who are honest and trying hard to survive a reckless society!
hmm … philadelphia .. the roman pontiff's US palace? city of brotherly …
gee, phila is having a lot of very serious terrors recently, haven't they? the derailment and … what's up with philadelphia these days?
the anti-abortion rhetoric dates back to …?
had to add the wiki link on the anti-abortion acts. the site details the events and states that these are primarily acts by a group called God's Army, which is listed as christian. what we see in more recent (last 50 years) acts is men and women committing crimes/murders presumably in the name of god (a belief system) although not all acts of anti-abortion mention god or a religious denomination or even god's army so I am not clear on how they know that most of the terrorist acts are done by god's army, but it is clear that these acts are done by people that hate the idea of the killing of children and/or hate the agencies and doctors/nurses … involved. … but there is an organization with the name god's army that, according to what is stated on wiki, does not plan with others; meaning, it does not hold meetings or correspond with others claiming this sect/cult's belief system prior to committing crimes/murders (and we do not know who if any of these members claiming they are of god's army are members of any other christian denomination such as the church of christ or the lutheran church or the rcc… and do recall that because someone belongs to elite institutions does not mean they can be trusted as we see evidence of this time and time again and it's often some of the elite that get others to do their ugly … dirty work … history is evidence of this) and there's the rcc and others that are very active in anti-abortion events, with these planning their rallies and protests … often online, and always visible to the public, including mass (former members/attendees witnessed this).
now, let's look at the phila incident and those like it which are becoming more common, including the ones thwarted in the planning stage … which tend to be more organized for greater damage results (bombs, attacking public at large rather than a lone officer or officers). are these islamic acts. no, I would say these are not "islamic" acts. are these acts in the name of an islamic god? it depends on the god in that it depends on the belief system. what does the islamist believe? what does it hate? what does it condemn? even if you did a survey you would not get accurate results on beliefs because people would not say what they really feel or … if names are discussed they might want to push an agenda if of an agenda. so, surveys are not a good indicator of truth … evidence … facts. you will know them by their fruits is really the truest way to know what a person believes and what he might be capable of. but a person might ask, do we wait for a terrorist act before we know what a christian, a roman catholic or an islamist believes?
cont …
if we go back to murphy's law:
what are we understanding here? what does murphy say to susan in the interview about the victim's testimony? we can't build policy on the small percentage of victims lying? we go by the large number of credible witnesses and the large numbers of acts of violence on women. this alone is enough to build policy for protection of women, because the number of murders on women and girls involving rape and abuse, including domestic abuse is astronomical and why we are still grappling with these facts is … well, not very bright. but a man's world is a man's world----no? no. women are being given choices to change this but why hasn't this changed to show equality for women? influential seats to build policy that creates change or moves society to a healthier status? religion? religious belief? politics? what keeps the truth on violence muddied and the people confused on what is right and what is wrong and more importantly, where and how do we go about reducing all violence?
-----the following comment certainly shows the possibility of a gun control policy agenda and is not to be taken too seriously in understanding the root of the act, but it does bear witness to the issue of gun violence. no gun no injured officer? but what about the islamist's system of belief? he is said to be a devout in his religion and was seen attending his house of worship regularly. and we also have family saying he had a football injury? and a moped accident? then hearing voices? we have no reason to not believe these, but it does look like a steering away from the concern of islam being suspect and even more to the point, his house of worship as being suspect. one cannot deny this, which calls us to ask if the devout islamist shooter was not mentally well why wasn't someone in his house of worship aware of this? surely there are signs that indicate mental instability worthy of concern … which brings us to the need for investigating all institutions, especially the ones receiving money from government. who wants to pay for careless pastors and priests … imams and congregationalist's prayer venues? obviously this shooter's devout prayer wasn't helping and no one within his circle could see his criminal record? or the need, esp in these times, to keep a close on on someone leaning toward injustice?
seriously think on this, folks … if his was a situation where he hung out on the streets with no family, hidden by the church magnates … engaging in crime … we could understand him slipping through the cracks up to a point as there are a lot of criminals out and about with much freedom and not enough law enforcement or law out and about able to stop it … and of course now many officers step back from pursuing the criminal for fear of retaliation should they not apprehend the criminal to society's satisfaction …
"In no way shape or form does anyone in this room believe that what was done represents Islam," Kenney said. "This was done by a criminal with a stolen gun."
what we are looking at is where and how the taxpayer dollar is being spent. who wants to pay for security for a religious figure keeping people bowing in prayer to gods in brick and mortars with their advisors and teachers or for these men, women and their prayer---teaching institutions if these are not going to be held accountable in some way for their prodigies?
I hear what the atheists and others are saying or trying to say and all of these topics require scrutiny, but it is clear there are policy makers acting to avoid some of the glaring concerns. when I learned about the clergy/staff ----BISHOPS---child sex abuse I was like, wow, why aren't these houses being investigated? why isn't LAW holding these men and women accountable? these are vicious crimes! lives have been destroyed, even still! it is unfathomable to one like me to allow this type of behavior to be as it is … to be treated so nonchalantly over the long run, and catholics, my GOD, what is wrong with you? so, I say to the imams and those with deep-seated religious doctrine … are you paying attention? are you aware in what's going on in your communities … in your houses of worship where these men and women attend, abide … find their source of inspiration? are you capable of scrutiny of your image? your interests? your age-old ministries? your demands on the people and how these do mold and indoctrinate your followers? or are you being as willfully ignorant as many of the government lawmakers? then again maybe you and lawmaker are in cahoots for policy and money and v-o-t-e-s. you do realize it will all come out in the wash … ? it will come back to bite.
take the treatment of women … if men and women coming from nations forcing female to be second class citizens expect this same in the states of america, demanding that their religious-politcal rights be respected even paid and supported by the citizen's tax dollars … baby, they better think again because WE will not allow this to go on. BISHOPS, IMAM< POPES … wake up, your days may be coming to an end in CIVIL societies … once the people catch on to the politics of the manipulators and those who could care less about honesty and just measure … the child misused and abused … the women and girls raped and … warning-warning-warning …
america, politicians … what are you setting yourself up for? you've already seen what a black man killed by police can do …
and finally … http://news.yahoo.com/merkels-party-calls-tighter-laws-cologne-assaults-113752799.html
WOMEN'S RIGHTS ACTIVISTS ON THE STEPS OF THE CATHEDRAL (cologne)
now, can any liberal dare claim these women fear-mongering fundamentalists of christian persuasion? we say, how effing dare you be so daft and insensitive to the violence … not to mention how women are viewed and treated as second class citizens and property by men of a certain persuasion ... to use for his own gross pleasure. should we begin to see more violence on women in america due to a large push in immigrants/refugees, the US and the world can hold you personally responsible. agreed? we will let it come out of YOUR paychecks ...

"Friendship, fun and rock n roll" is the statement behind this mind-twisting album from Zapruder. At its musical heart is a mathcore style strongly reminiscent of Dillinger Escape Plan, so you can expect to be screamed at.
The manic screaming and hardcore assault may seem crude and anarchic on the face of it, but the beauty is in the detail. Technically it's tight but on the third track "Half-stache Man" Zapruder introduce another side with a haunting post metal section and build-up. A melancholic saxophone section then breaks the norm, if there is such a thing. The Elvis style vocal of this song "Leaving Montréal" leads to a pungent blues rock number. It's quite different from the fury we've heard up to now. "Dracula Love Hotel" takes us back to the technical riffage and controlled metal chaos, but there is spice with an emotive chorus and a silky, sad sax section. The lyrics are as suggestive as the music. The line "This decadence is delicacy" sums up the song neatly. Sludge then meets hardcore and more blues rock on "Martin Bell". Again the chorus is appealing. It's clear that Zapruder don't have musical boundaries. I like this. Better still, it all hangs together even when it sounds like disorganised chaos, which to be fair it rarely does. Behind this are some highly creative musicians. The artwork by the way is as interesting as the album itself. "Piss-Soaked" is as charming as it sounds, and through the murky anger we hear such wonderful Anglo-Frenchisms such as "Well first I need to sortir mon invite and faire de la place to drink all the time". "Back in Town" is a grisly piece of embittered and angry sludge with no holes barred and another memorable and catchy chorus, which you wouldn't expect. The final song "Fly Me to the Ceiling" is as grim as hell and presented in hardcore fashion, but captures the overall ambiance of this album: a bleak theme, raucously heavy presentation but interesting and engaging in its pattern.
I realise this isn't going to be everyone's tasse de thé but I like it. With a multitude of styles thrown into the mix, the result is nine separate creations depicting a chaotic world. The impression given is that is it's five blokes having a laugh, but actually these songs are really well constructed, and at the same time they're infectious.

A former Beauty Queen and beloved High School teacher, Tara Grinstead was not the type to make any enemies. The 30-year-old was well-liked by everyone. But when she vanished without a trace in 2005, investigators were left wondering if there was more to this sweet southern belle than she ever let her closest loved ones to believes…
For the past 12 years, Grinstead's disappearance has puzzled police, becoming the largest cold case in Georgia's history and the most heartbreaking tragedy to rock her small town. Yet when cops seemed to reach all dead ends in this case, they received an anonymous tip that would change everything…
**Continue Reading for Video at End of Story**
Who Was She?
Born on November 14, 1974, Tara Grinstead grew up in the small town Ocilla, Georgia, well-known throughout the state for its Annual Sweet Potato Festival. She grew up as an average, all-American girl who soon blossomed into a young beauty with her eye on the pageant scene.
The Beauty Queen of Ocilla
Grinstead loved beauty pageants and the judges loved her. In 1999, the 24-year-old was awarded the title of Miss Tifton at a nearby city's pageant. She was hooked and went on to compete for the coveted title of Miss Georgia. Best of all, she was able to make some extra money and had big dreams about what she was going to do with the cash…
From Student to Teacher
Tara decided to invest her winnings in her education and graduated from Middle Georgia College in 2003. Soon after, she received her Master's degree from Valdosta State University. All the while she worked as a history teacher at Irwin County High School in Ocilla.
The Night Before
The young teacher was involved and active in the pageant scene all the way up until the night before her mysterious disappearance. On the evening of October 23, 2005, Grinstead was reported to have stopped by a beauty pageant, where she acted as a coach to young beauty contestants. She then attended a barbecue, where she was seen leaving around 10:30 pm. But she never made it home…
October 24, 2005
When she didn't show up for work on Monday morning, October 24, 2005, Grinstead's co-workers called the police. Officers began their investigation by checking the most obvious place: her home. Tara lived alone and when police arrived and entered the house, they found only her cell phone. They also discovered that her car was unlocked in the driveway, but her purse and keys were nowhere to be found.
If The Glove Fits
While searching Tara Grinstead's place, police were disturbed to find a single latex glove on the front lawn and a business card wedged in between her door. There were signs of possible struggle in the home as well. Most confusing of all was the $100 in cash they discovered in her car's console. The car also had clay on the tires and the driver's seat adjusted for a much taller person behind the wheel…
A Bad Feeling…
After getting a bad feeling about the vanished teacher and beauty queen, the small town police squad called up the Georgia Bureau of Investigation on a hunch that something was very wrong. "We didn't find any signs of forced entry, there was no sign of a struggle," said GBI chief investigator Gary Rothwell. "But that's not to say that something couldn't have happened…"
Case of the Ex
Just a few weeks before her disappearance, the teacher broke up with her boyfriend of six years after a troubled relationship, yet police found no indication of a violent history or cause for revenge. Although Tara was said to be acting normal and happy around the time she vanished, she may have been hurting inside… or hiding a secret.
A Married Man
The attractive teacher was known to have been engaged in multiple romantic relationships at the time of her disappearance, yet investigators struggled to identify a suspect. The business card wedged into her door belonged to a local married man and police officer who visited Tara often.
Forbidden Romance Gone Wrong?
The married officer admitted that he had stopped by Tara's home the night of her alleged disappearance but claimed that she didn't answer the door. Although the police officer maintained his innocence and had a cleared alibi, the nearly two dozen voicemails he left on Tara's phone definitely set off some red flags…
Hot For Teacher?
The attractive educator was a favorite amongst the male teenagers at Irwin County High, but police eyed one former student in particular, who had been arrested earlier that year for harassment and had been seen banging on Grinstead's door more than once.
3 Suspects?
Officer Vickers, Grinstead's police officer "friend", and her ex-boyfriend, were tested to match the DNA found on the latex glove but came back negative. The men had credible alibis for the 38-hour time frame of Grinstead's disappearance, but Vickers' connection to the former teacher's disappearance became even more suspicious on the night he received a strange phone call…
A Creepy Coincidence
According to Vickers, he received a frantic telephone call from a woman shortly after Grinstead went missing. The woman was so emotional and upset, he said he couldn't understand her. The once-suspect immediately notified police who traced the call and found that it was simply a wrong number dialed by an inarticulate and emotionally overwrought stranger.
48-Hours Mystery
Three years had gone by before the case received renewed attention with a 2008 report on the CBS show 48 Hours Mystery. The show's investigators even noted the similarity of Grinstead's missing person's case to the disappearance of another young woman from Orlando, FL, who vanished three months later…
The Catch Me Killer
In 2009, after the 48 Hours Mystery aired, eerie videos surfaced online from a self-proclaimed serial killer. In the videos, the man who dubbed himself the "Catch Me Killer" detailed the murders of 16 female victims, one who police identified as Tara Grinstead.
It Gets Even Stranger
The man behind the blurred video image was found to be 27-year-old Andrew Haley of Gainesville, GA. Yet when police looked into the claims of the self-professed killer, they found the videos were nothing but a bizarre and elaborate hoax by a deranged man. This meant if Tara Grinstead had been murdered, her killer was still out there…
A Case Gone Cold
By 2010, Bill and Faye Grinstead had given up hope their daughter's disappearance would ever be solved and at the request of a local judge, Tara Faye Grinstead was declared dead five years after she vanished. "So many people have been hurt by this," Grinstead's stepmother said. "We hope with time this community can have closure and start to heal from this."
Up And Vanished
In 2016, documentarian Payne Lindsey took notice in the cold case and produced the podcast Up and Vanished, which reviewed the evidence of Tara Grinstead's disappearance took investigation even further. Grinstead's story was back in the news, yet investigators still believed the cold case would never be solved. Until they received an unprecedented, anonymous tip…
The First Arrest
Twelve years after the teacher and beauty queen vanished, one tip to police led the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to arrest Ryan Alexander Duke, a former student at Irwin County High School for the murder and concealment of Tara Faye Grinstead.
Case Closed
Two weeks later, a supplementary arrest was made public in connection with Tara's disappearance. Ryan Alexander Duke's former classmate Bo Dukes (no relation) was charged with attempting to conceal a death, hindering apprehension and tampering with evidence. Investigators are still trying to uncover the motive for what seems to be a robbery gone wrong, but the truth has yet to be uncovered.
Editor's note Nov. 8, 2018: (13WMAZ.com) – Ryan Duke is scheduled to appear in Irwin County court November 19th and 20th for a motions hearing. LifeDaily will continue updating this story as information becomes available.

Hello, Use a tablespoon for the cake mix, yes muffin cases will be fine - though they are often bigger than cake cases so you will have to make fewer, larger cakes or have cases that are not so full when cooked. And yes they can be reheated in the oven but be careful you don't dry them out.
