Bullying is unacceptable at Lindisfarne and it was wonderful to see the whole school get behind today's National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence. Over the past few weeks we have focussed on the role of bystanders to help develop a school-wide culture that won't tolerate bullying. Bystanders are those who watch bullying happen or hear about it. They neither bully, nor are victims. They know it is wrong but unless they are asked for help, or are made to feel they have a responsibility or duty to act, their silence is perceived as collusion.This week on the Mahers Lane campus, Year 12 students Hannah Jarvis and Will Fitzgibbons gave an impassioned plea for the student body to not simply be bystanders but to be upstanders - people who recognise when something is wrong and take action to make it right. The concept of being an upstander fits in well with Lindisfarne's graduate profile, a document that outlines the character traits we are working to develop in our students. These attributes are grouped under our core values of Compassion, Wisdom and Respect and many link directly to being an upstander. These include:
- Our graduates build genuine relationships through their generosity of spirit and care for others.
- They are assured in their moral compass and support others with kindness and selflessness.
- They become increasingly aware of their potential to be an influence for good and an understanding of their purpose.
- They use their gifts and advocate for the benefit of others.
- They are aware of themselves and have a strong sense of what is right and wrong.
- Our graduates appreciate all within our environment and leave an honourable legacy for those who follow.
- Our graduates equip others with hope, clarity and direction.
- They take initiative with adaptability and resilience, and act with courage and decisiveness.
- They model and stand up for the values and culture of the school.
- They have a strong sense of community and accept responsibility for their behaviour within it.
- They are committed to working with others to address and solve problems for our local, national, and international communities through their creativity and their voice.
One of the reasons many families choose Lindisfarne is for the safe environment and strong pastoral care. Schools are communities of many different people and inevitably incidents will arise. When they do, we are determined to quickly respond and to stamp out bullying. It is everyone in the school community's responsibility to work together to develop a school environment where each person feels safe and is able to flourish as an individual. I encourage you to speak with your family about how they can be an upstander.

Important Information
Bus 1214 - Salt/Casuarina/Kingscliff
A number of parents have contacted the School concerned about overcrowding on bus 1214, particularly in the mornings. Earlier this week I spoke with Martin Hall, the General Manager of Surfside Buslines, and his team are looking into solutions to the problem. Unfortunately route changes need to be approved by Transport NSW so it is not a fast process. Mr Hall's advice was for the School, and parents, to raise our concerns directly with Transport NSW through their online complaints portal - https://transportnsw.info/contact-us/feedback/bus-feedback. Online complaints will be correctly logged and also passed on to Surfside formally which will help to ensure they are followed up.
It is also important that students do not avoid using the bus due to overcrowding. If the driver deems it is unsafe, he is able to call another bus to pick up students. They will not be left on the side of the road indefinitely. I will speak with the bus driver to ensure no young children are left to wait. I know this is not ideal; however, avoiding the bus sends a message to the bus company that there is no longer a need for the bus and we need to keep the pressure on Transport NSW and Surfside to improve the service.
I will continue working with Surfside to ensure a solution is found. If you have concerns or additional information, please send me an email via the address email@example.com.

Lindisfarne Bus Transport
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Lindisfarne owned buses are provided to transport our students who live in QLD and south of Ocean Shores to and from school. The demand in 2019 for bus seats for students who reside in these areas has resulted in the buses being near capacity.
As such, the School is unable to provide transport to one-off requests as it is not possible to guarantee the seat is available and priority must be given to students registered for the bus. The school coaches are licenced to carry 57 seated passengers so it is not an alternative to have students stand up while travelling.
We appreciate your understanding with this matter. Should your child need to travel to a location other than their own home, alternative arrangements will need to be made. This will assist in preventing the situation where a student who is not registered for a bus, is prevented from travelling on the bus due to the bus being over capacity.

The Rite Journey Calling and Departure Ceremonies
On Wednesday and Thursday of last week, our Year 9 students travelled to Fingal Head for their first Rite Journey ceremonies known as the Calling and the Departure.
Both ceremonies were held at the Fingal Lighthouse. The students and Rite Journey staff were present for the Calling Ceremony on Wednesday evening, which was simply an opportunity to respond to "the call" to enter into the journey toward adulthood.
The Departure Ceremony was held at sunrise on Thursday morning, and was attended by students, parents, mentors and Rite Journey teaching staff. The Departure Ceremony was an extremely moving experience and ritual for all involved. Students, parents, carers and staff made public communal commitments to enter into this process with open hearts and minds as we journey with our young people from childhood to adulthood.
Throughout the year, students will continue to think and reflect on who they are, where they are going and what they have to give. These ceremonies were deliberate and intentional opportunities for students to look back; to celebrate and express gratitude for their childhood with all its joys and challenges, but also look ahead to the path of adulthood, which includes greater responsibility, accountability, authenticity and maturity.
We were so pleased that parents, carers and mentors committed to this process wholeheartedly. It was so special and significant for our students to have someone in attendance to support them, and it required everyone being at Fingal Head by 6am, which was a huge effort and commitment.
We look forward to continuing to share the milestones, the challenges and the successes of the Rite Journey in 2019.
Reverend Chad Rynehart and Cathy Myers
School Chaplain and Head of St Stephen House
I wonder what this word means to you?
During this term, our Junior School students and Stage 3 students are exploring the meaning of our school values in both chapel and Rave lessons.
Compassion is derived from the Latin word "compati" which means "to suffer with." To show compassion means that you allow yourself to willingly enter into the suffering or sadness of another. It sounds simple enough, but in a society and culture which is largely addicted to the pursuit of happiness, facing our own suffering and sadness can be terrifying enough, let alone entering into another's pain.
The act of compassion was explained to Stages 1, 2 and 3 in three progressive steps, and those steps are:
- The courage to see.
- The courage to feel.
- The courage to act.
These three steps were so beautifully modelled through the stories about the life of Jesus, and also through the stories which Jesus told as parables about how to engage with each other in meaningful ways.
Suffering and sadness are realities of life, and one of the most authentic ways to live with sadness and suffering is to live into them rather than trying to run from them. When a child sits with another who is sad or hurting, the one showing comfort and compassion cannot necessarily take the pain or sadness away, but through being willing to share in it, they make the experience a little easier to bear for the other.
We all see sadness, suffering and grief, but the key to living into compassion is to allow ourselves to also feel, and then be inspired to act, even if that act is to simply join with someone in bearing something difficult.
We can't always fix things or resolve situations or make others feel better, but somewhat paradoxically, when we see, feel and act, and enter into the sadness of another, it can make it feel better anyway.

Harmony Day
2019 marks the 20th anniversary of Harmony Day being celebrated in Australia. This year this event has been renamed Harmony Week to include 21 March which is the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
Harmony Week is a time to recognise the diversity of our nation. Today there are over 24 million people living in Australia who all contribute different ideas, religions, languages and customs to our country, from the traditional owners of this land to those who have come from many countries around the world. Australia is one of the most successful multicultural countries in the world.
This is an important event on our calendar and represents many of the characteristics that we value at Lindisfarne: compassion, respect, tolerance and understanding. Throughout the week, students and staff will be involved in activities promoting inclusiveness and fostering a sense of belonging for all. These activities are designed to highlight the diverse backgrounds we come from and the rich heritage this brings to our nation and school community.

National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence
One in four people are bullied at some stage in life.
Year 5 and 8 students suffer the highest rate of bullying with 32% and 29% of students
respectively experiencing bullying.
20% of young Australians are the victims of cyberbullying.
50% of students who are suffering the effects of bullying don't reach out for help.
85% of students who act as onlookers in bullying situations, yet, stand back and do and say
100% of bystanders do nothing and thus reinforce the bullying.
If these statistics sound familiar to you, that's because these were the statistics involved in the interactive visual presentation delivered by Will Fitzgibbons and Hannah Jarvis on Tuesday at Assembly. This week, the Lindisfarne community has come together to raise awareness for the impacts of bullying. In addition to the anti-bullying themed assembly, students took a stand against bullying in PC where there were activities, such as the creation of an orange anti-bullying paper chain that was wrapped around the balustrades around the Mahers Lane Campus. Each link of the chain had an anti-bullying message written on it by a student and the orange colour represented our stand against bullying. Thebweek culminated on Friday, in an orange coloured mufti day and a Bullying. No Way! Day café held by the Year 12 students where students were able to show their support for the cause.

HSC Minimum Standards Test update
Over the past two weeks, Year 10 students have completed their HSC Minimum Standards Tests in Reading, Writing, Numeracy.
The HSC Minimum Standards are the levels of literacy and numeracy the NSW government would expect a student to reach by the end of Year 12.
Our Year 10 students should be proud of their achievements with the whole cohort reaching the standards in Reading and 98% reaching the standard in Numeracy. The writing results take a little longer to be processed but we should have the results by the end of term.

Head of Junior School Report
This week I made a point of asking our Junior School staff if, at this point in the term, they are making an effort to look after themselves. Healthy, happy teachers provide better lessons and more enjoyable learning environments. To ensure teachers are physically and mentally up to the task of working at an optimal level they need sleep, exercise and healthy nutrition. This is not just for teachers though.
With Week 8 upon us, I invite all of our families to pause for a moment and take stock of school routines and processes at home. Are children's lunchboxes providing adequate food and are bedtimes suitable? Are students arriving on time or do some actions, such as packing school bags, need to happen the night before?
Children are very important but so are parents! I encourage all of our Lindisfarne parents and guardians to please look after themselves too. Being a parent usually means putting the needs and wants of our children before our own and, while these selfless actions are very honourable, parents should be mindful that they also need to recharge.

Year 1 Open Classroom
Year 1 have been investigating mini beasts as part of our Science unit 'Creature Features'.
Our Open Classroom this term was centered around this topic. We paired this with the visual thinking routine 'See, Think, Wonder' to stimulate thinking and create wonder about the insects that were chosen.
Both students and parents were engaged and wrote insightful comments about the creature presented to them.

Hiromi Tango Brings Peace and Connection
During this week's Junior School staff meeting, world renowned artists Hiromi Tango led the teachers in the creation of beautiful orange paper flowers. Hiromi is known for her work with textiles and her spiritual connection while creating art.
The flowers represent connection, peace, joy and harmony. All students across K-4 will be creating these pieces of art in a display of harmony for both National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence (today) Harmony Day (next week). As a school, we will create a large collection of orange flowers in a display of connection.
I would like to thank Hiromi for her generous donation of time and resources to make this creation such a beautiful one. We are grateful and richer for this experience.

Year 5 Girls Celebrate International Women's Day
Year 5 girls participated in their first International Women's day as Middle Schoolers last Friday. They particularly enjoyed being with all of the Lindisfarne girls from Year 5 through to Year 12 for breakfast and then coming together as an audience for two special guest speakers. Mrs Rossington hosted the session, conducting interviews with past students, lawyer, Dominique O'Neill and international concert pianist, Ayesha Gough. There was also a Q&A session where I was proud of our Year 5 girls who asked some very thoughtful questions. At the same time, Mr Lewis led the Year 5 boys in a discussion about International Women's Day and its significance for all.
Today is the National Day of Action Against Bullying and Violence. Throughout this week, Year 5 students and teachers have been exploring the theme 'Be kind, lend a hand' and the importance of being an upstander, not a bystander. Highlighting Lindisfarne's stance against bullying this week has enabled our students to make connections with the ongoing digital citizenship lessons they have been engaging in since the beginning of the year. Our students are developing an essential awareness of cyberbullying and the impact it can have on self and others. For example:
- Cyberbullying can happen at home in your personal space e.g. your bedroom.
- Some kids may feel they can't escape, where if it happens at school then it is isolated to the one place.
- Cyberbullying can happen any time. Bullies can write or say mean things at any hour of the day.
- A cyberbully can be anyone of any age.
- Cyberbullies can follow you everywhere you go especially if you have a phone and you can check what bullies are saying.
- Messages, images or content is permanent.
Digital Citizenship and expected use and care of technology devices will continue to be embedded through pastoral care sessions as well as curriculum. During the coming weeks, Year 5 students will complete and must pass a Digital Citizenship Quiz in order to obtain their Digital Technology Licence. Students who demonstrate consistent responsibility for their iPad will then be allowed to take it home.

Service Based Learning Immersion to Vietnam
Lindisfarne is pleased to offer the opportunity of a Service Based Learning Immersion to Vietnam in the 2019 Term 3 holidays for students in Years 9, 10 or 11.
Students have the privilege of learning first hand just what it means to be a citizen of the world and to be closely interconnected with another culture. They will assist in the construction of simple hand built homes; veritable palaces to those people who had been displaced and rendered homeless by devastating monsoonal rains. The assistance of our students in this project afford life changing experiences not only to the people of the Mekong Delta but also to themselves.
The program includes special visits to significant sites in Southern Vietnam, engaging in a school and tourism to understand the Vietnam culture.
Please register your expression of interest by completing the form at the bottom of the letter that was emailed to all parents of students in Years 9, 10 or 11 and return to Student Administration by Friday, 22 March 2019.
Further information and deposits will be called for after this date. If you have any questions please contact Tania Wilhelm, firstname.lastname@example.com.

Lions Youth of the Year Reflection
Last Saturday, I competed in the third round of the Lions Youth of the Year competition. Unfortunately, I didn't win. However, I had an amazing time.
The competition consists of a 20-30 minute interview, two two-minute impromptu speeches and one five minute prepared speech. Although it can seem a bit daunting, it is such a wonderful experience and the judges are always lovely people. As for the impromptu questions, two minutes goes faster than you think and thanks to Mrs Walker I was well practiced. Some of the questions I received were: "Can news be fake?" and "Imagination is more important than knowledge, is there any truth in this statement?".
Throughout the process I made friends from all over; from Kingscliff to Casino and from public schools to catholic schools. Everyone was so supportive and it was a great learning experience. Aside from the social aspect, the competition is great to put on your resume and is a great way to practice important skills such public speaking and interview skills.
Lions Youth of the Year is a truly priceless opportunity and I would encourage you all to try it next year.

Youthful Creativity and Perspective
What does a bicycle tyre have in common with a toothbrush? Ask Performance Poet Sarah Kay and she will tell you that it is about the polarities of relationships; the cleansing and the mess. After viewing her recitation of 'A Love Letter: A Toothbrush to a Bicycle Tyre' (Google it, you won't be sorry), 10A were inspired to write their own love letters between inanimate objects. The response I got back from them was fantastic. Their writing was a testament to the possibilities of youthful creativity and perspective.
Last week, my colleague John Cadman wrote about the origins of Performance Poetry and, as we have a burgeoning culture of it in the School, this week I thought it fitting to share some samples with you. These are only first draft selections and not complete pieces but definitely promising. So, come on a whimsical journey with me and ask yourself what are you in your relationships?
'A Shoe and a Key' – by Georgie Hughes
Sometimes I peer through the key hole and see your insoles, ebony like polish.
Or your soul black with ash.
The metal I am made of is a conductor of your heat.
You hold me by the collar.
Your fingers lace around my throat, coiling around.
Your words thick as leather, are too stubborn for my blade to cut through.
… my existence slips your mind but other times I find myself safe in your pocket. Where I belong.
You need me.
I heel you.
I will sew your bursting stitching back together.
And just as an individual footprint remains everywhere you tread, unique and intentional are my bumps and coarse edges.
'A Crush: A Projector to a Fire Extinguisher' – by Neave Butler
… Yet you stand by,
Hidden in plain sight.
Fiery in colour, it is your presence that catches my eye.
Twitterpated by your curves,
I am in awe of the striking softness that you embody …
To me it seems,
That you are forced to be
The safety net of every situation,
The saving grace if things go wrong.
But do you dream of dancing with the wind
Imitating the lights that you extinguish.
Does it hurt you to see it all go up in smoke?
Do we share that reckless desire
To succumb to the inferno,
To the intensity and excitement.
'A Photograph to a Painting' – by Tori Marchiori
They say opposites attract,
But we weren't opposites.
We both liked to capture the moment and share it with the world.
… You came and went in a flash,
To capture your next moment.
You always analysed everything through a negative lens
And yet you still couldn't see the complexity within me.
Still you couldn't understand the bigger picture.
They say opposites attract.
What they don't tell you is that opposites are still opposite.
They attract but do not work.

Science Matters
Last week, during our study of evolution, some of our Year 10 students were presented with the discussion question: Could a human turn into a seal?
Once the laughter had died down and one student had said that she didn't think so but wished she could, the class got to work researching the Sama Bajau people of Indonesia. These "Sea gypsies" have no clearly defined nationality and live entirely on the water between the Philippines and Indonesia. They have been observed diving to depths of over 60 meters on a single breath of air and remaining submerged for up to 13 minutes while they hunt for fish and octopus. These are not trained free divers, rather a group of people with unusual physiological adaptations and a cultural heritage of living on the water.
The Bajau people have enormously enlarged spleens, roughly 50% larger than normal, and an enhanced diving reflex that slows their heart rate and directs blood away from the periphery of their body. These adaptations are exactly the same ones we find in the marine mammals like seals and sea lions.
Communities that live at high altitude, like the Nepalese Sherpas and the Andean people of Chile, have also been shown to have enlarged spleens which helps them to cope with low oxygen levels in the air.
As for the question, no, humans are not going to turn into seals (not anytime soon, at least) but people like the Sama Bajau remind us of the immense variation that exists among individuals and the subsequent power of selection.
Have a fabulous week in Science and take a moment to quietly contemplate the unfolding miracle that surrounds you.

The Brain Foundation has contributed over $3,000,000 to fund research by Neurosurgeons, Neuroscientists and Neurologists.
Pointers for a healthy brain:
- Exercise and challenge your brain.
- Nourish your brain with a healthy diet.
- Enjoy physical activity.
- Learn to manage stress and depression.
- Relax and sleep well.
- Have regular checks with your doctor for blood pressure, diabetes, heart rate and cholesterol.
If you wish to support this amazing research please see the link below.
You could also exercise and challenge your brain by trying to answer the different brain games on the website. Here are some questions to try.
- Name the crab in Disney's The Little Mermaid.
- On what part of the body would you wear a snood, commonly worn in the Middle Ages?
- To which Greek goddess is the Athenian Parthenon dedicated?

Brain Awareness Week
Every year we get busier and busier. We spend more time on devices and less time relaxing and enjoying some "down time". As a generation we are also living longer and so the prevalence of brain disorders is increasing.
Do we ever stop to wonder the implications for our brain with all this extended activity? 11-17 March is Brain Awareness Week (BAW). It is a global campaign to increase public awareness of the benefits of brain research and an opportunity to let people know about the progress being made in brain research regarding diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disorders of the brain such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, stroke, schizophrenia and depression.
Our PDHPE programs often draw attention to the impact of screen time and the importance of sleep, fresh air and physical activity. Through our involvement in the Green X program we are constantly looking at ways to alleviate stress, take time out from technology (disconnect to reconnect) and give our brains a chance to rest and recover.
The Brain Foundation and Headache Australia recommends the following steps to maintaining a healthy brain
- Exercise and challenge your brain – don't be a couch potato.
- Nourish your brain with a healthy diet and drink alcohol in moderation.
- Enjoy physical activity.
- Make "safety" a priority: Wear a helmet, drive safely, take any head injury seriously.
- Learn to manage stress and depression.
- Relax and sleep well.
- Have regular checks for blood pressure, diabetes, heart rate, cholesterol.
- Do not smoke or use illegal drugs.
So during Brain Week, take a moment to stop and think about your brain. What steps can you take to make it healthier. Try the maze below as a good starting point.

Rugby 7's
Last Wednesday, Lindisfarne sent three Rugby Union teams to the Far North Coast Primary School 7's Tournament at Casuarina.
The U10 teams consisted of Years 3 and 4 players, with mixed ability and knowledge, the one consistent factor was the enthusiasm. We called the Teams Team 1 and Team 2, not because they were graded just because they were the easiest names to remember.
Team 2 kicked off their campaign with a solid win over St Ambrose 30 to 25. Lots of tries and free flowing rugby and we thought we could be a chance for the finals. Team 1 had a much tougher start going down 25 to 5 to St Ambrose in their pool. Game number two and the results reversed with Team 1 winning convincingly 30 to 0 and Team 2 going down by the same score. Both teams had losses in their third pool game which led to the teams finishing in 3rd and 4th position on the table. This meant that the 3rd v 4th play off would be an all Lindisfarne affair. The game started at a fierce pace and didn't let up. There were great runs, awesome tries and just great rugby played all round. Team 1 were the better team on the day winning 15 to 5. All students were a pleasure to coach and to have as part of our teams. They were great sportsmen both on and off the field, well done young men. I would also like to thank the groundsmen who made sure we had tents for shade and a special mention to Mr Luke Mundy who assisted with both the Junior teams on the day.
Mr Nathan Croft
Years 3 and 4 Coach
Lindisfarne entered a team into the Under 12's draw made up of students from Years 5 and 6. For most of these students it was their first experience of Rugby 7's. The team trained hard in preparation for the event and performed admirably on the day, showing significant improvement with each game. The team finished the day in 4th place, going down to Cudgen Public 20 to 10 in the 3rd place playoff. It is worth noting that Lindisfarne had the highest number of female participants on the day, something we are keen to do again next year.

AFLQ Schools Cup Report
Lindisfarne competed first round of the AFL Queensland Schools Cup last week, and had teams in all divisions with the Juniors Boys and Girls (Years 7 to 9) and the Seniors Boys and Girls (Years 10, 11, and 12) competing in their respective divisions.
Our Junior teams played well all day and were able to secure third place for the girls and 6th place for the boys. It was a great effort across all their matches against some bigger opponents. The Senior girls only lost one game all day, their first one against Mount St Patrick's. Unfortunately this was the deciding factor in them competing in the playoff for 3rd and 4th. Once again the girls represented themselves and the School with pride.
The big news for the day was the performance of our Senior boys' team. The boys faced the highly fancied Mt St Patrick's in their first game and were able to come away with a very hard fought win. This set them up for the rest of the day as they recorded wins against Byron High School and Kingscliff, setting up a rematch against Mt St Patrick's in the final. Great performances from Sol Hashimoto, Fraser Carpenter (first time playing), Jack Robson, Ethan Sekac and Noah Chapman throughout the day set up a tense grand final match. In the grand final, Lindisfarne stood tall and recorded a two-goal win. A standout performance by Harrison Kirkwood was the difference between the two teams. The Senior boys' now go on to play the Queensland State Qualifying Finals in August.

Need legal help with a business law matter?
Business laws include all municipal, state, and federal laws that regulate businesses and commerce. Some industries, such as finance, face specific laws and regulations that apply to those in the field. Businesses of all types also must conform to many regulations that apply across the board, such as environmental regulations and advertising laws.
A business lawyer can help you address the myriad legal issues that arise when you are starting a new venture, operating an established company, or winding up or selling a business.
Business lawyers handle a broad spectrum of legal issues that confront companies. For new ventures, a business lawyer can help with business formation decisions, including selecting the proper business form, such a partnership, LLC or corporation, or addressing financial compliance issues when raising capital. In addition, business lawyers can offer advice when reviewing leases, purchase agreements, and other types of contracts. Other issues covered in this practice area include employee compensation and benefits, building relationships with independent contractors and other entities, and compliance with relevant advertising regulations.
While most business lawyers deal in transactional work (contracts and forms), some also litigate business disputes that arise from transactional work. Business litigation attorneys may handle issues such as breach of contract claims, consumer class action lawsuits, and wrongful termination claims.
Business judgment rule: a presumption that directors making a business decision, not involving self-interest, act on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that their actions are in the corporation's best interest.
Pierce the veil: A court no longer affords a shareholder of a corporation the protection of limited liability when the corporation has neglected corporate formalities and intermingled assets between the shareholder and the corporation.

What is the best way to manage your child's behavior?
Discipline isn't just about giving children consequences. Instead, it ensures that children gain the skills required to become responsible adults. With appropriate discipline and boundaries, children learn to mange their emotions and make better choices. Most importantly, discipline should be used to keep them safe and understanding their own boundaries.

It's easy to match the overall market return by buying an index fund. While individual stocks can be big winners, plenty more fail to generate satisfactory returns. That downside risk was realized by Sientra, Inc. (NASDAQ:SIEN) shareholders over the last year, as the share price declined 32%. That's well bellow the market return of 8.2%. Longer term shareholders haven't suffered as badly, since the stock is down a comparatively less painful 11% in three years. The share price has dropped 43% in three months.
See our latest analysis for Sientra
Sientra isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. That's because fast revenue growth can be easily extrapolated to forecast profits, often of considerable size.
In the last twelve months, Sientra increased its revenue by 86%. That's well above most other pre-profit companies. The share price drop of 32% over twelve months would be considered disappointing by many, so you might argue the company is getting little credit for its impressive revenue growth. On the bright side, if this company is moving profits in the right direction, top-line growth like that could be an opportunity. Our brains have evolved to think in linear fashion, so there's value in learning to recognize exponential growth. We are, in some ways, simply the wisest of the monkeys.
You can see how revenue and earnings have changed over time in the image below, (click on the chart to see cashflow).
We like that insiders have been buying shares in the last twelve months. Having said that, most people consider earnings and revenue growth trends to be a more meaningful guide to the business. If you are thinking of buying or selling Sientra stock, you should check out this free report showing analyst profit forecasts.
A Different Perspective
Over the last year, Sientra shareholders took a loss of 32%. In contrast the market gained about 8.2%. Of course the long term matters more than the short term, and even great stocks will sometimes have a poor year. The three-year loss of 3.8% per year isn't as bad as the last twelve months, suggesting that the company has not been able to convince the market it has solved its problems. We would be wary of buying into a company with unsolved problems, although some investors will buy into struggling stocks if they believe the price is sufficiently attractive. If you want to research this stock further, the data on insider buying is an obvious place to start. You can click here to see who has been buying shares - and the price they paid.

Every summer, the best CrossFitter take part in "The Games", a five-day CrossFit challenge with 14 contests like the Decathlon, the American Ninja Warrior and the strongest man in the world brought together for a tasty sweatfest.
Last year's final event was Aeneas because … well, Aeneas was a war hero and was probably torn to shreds. It involved five climbs where you had to hold a dowel in each hand and push yourself up on an 8-foot board. 40 engines, front squats to overhead presses with an 85-pound barbell; and three 33-foot-loaded fork carriages, in which you shoulder a crossbar at a base. The weight is added for each subsequent stretcher, starting at 425 pounds and rising to 665 pounds. The event separates the fit from the impossible fit.
It also separates the impossibly fitting one from Mathew Fraser. Fraser is the three-time defending champion of CrossFit Games and will be pursuing his fourth consecutive title when the games begin in Wisconsin later this month. The 5 to 7 kg bowling ball tears them apart at all CrossFit events, from olympic exercises such as tearing, to gymnastics, to building muscle, to all the work performance events that exist.
Precisely for this reason, Men's Health Fraser has asked us to give us his best CrossFit wisdom for some of the sport's most difficult lifts. His tips will help you destroy your next WOD.

Rebecca Miller had been sober for more than a year and was making progress paying off her court fees after she was arrested last year, but then the pandemic hit.
Since November, she had been working at a call center in Boise, preparing to have her first child and staying up to date with all of the requirements of her probation. The arrival of COVID-19 pushed her to take leave from work to avoid exposure for herself and two elderly people in her household.
To cover her expenses while she could not work, Miller, 30, applied for unemployment benefits at the end of March, but she is still waiting for a payment, or even a call, from the Idaho Department of Labor to resolve her claim. Two months of waiting for benefits, she is staring down a June deadline to find a new place to live after her parole officer wanted her to find a new living situation despite no way to pay.
"I haven't been able to talk to a single person this entire time," she said. "Everyone keeps saying, 'Have patience, we'll get to you.'"
Miller is one of thousands of Idahoans across the state navigating a gridlocked unemployment system struggling to keep up with the influx of claims. Although the Department of Labor says it has been making progress on outstanding claims by adding additional staff and paying out benefits to people in need across the state, going without two months of income due to the pandemic without any support is beginning to take a serious economic and emotional toll.
Miller estimates the state owes her $4,200 in back pay, which could easily help find her a new place to live and help her pay her supervision costs to comply with her parole. Without those funds to secure a place to live, she is concerned she could end up back behind bars because she could violate her parole. The $1,200 stimulus check helped her pay several months ahead on her restitution and court fees, but she is worried about still paying the roughly $250 she owes for her cost of supervision.
"I can't put us into a place without that money, and without that money the homeless shelter is the only choice," she said.
Laid-off workers have filed 131,101 unemployment claims since the pandemic hit Idaho in mid-March, which is more than double the number of claims filed for all of 2019. For the past six weeks, the number of new claims has been falling steadily, with only 5,795 new requests for benefits for the week ending May 9, which is a 23% decline from the previous week.
Idaho Department of Labor spokeswoman Leah Reeder could not provide an estimate of how many people are still waiting for benefits because of changes to the regulations due to COVID-19, but she acknowledged there are Idahoans who filed in the early days of the pandemic who are still waiting for help.
"Our goal is to pay everybody who should be receiving benefits," she said. "It takes a lot of time and a lot of work, but we're getting there. We're getting closer."
Reeder said the delay has been complicated by a number of factors, including not enough staff to answer the phones or people trained in the highly complicated area of unemployment benefit law. She also said it took several weeks for the state to receive the necessary guidance from the federal government on how to implement the newly expanded unemployment benefits that give payments to the self-employed and expanded benefits for those who ran out of benefits from being previously unemployed.
Between March 23 and May 9, the Idaho Department of Labor paid out nearly $200 million in both state and federally funded benefits to people across the state sidelined from their jobs by the public health crisis. People under 25 constitute 20% of the unemployment claims, with the bulk of those out of work coming from the foodservice and hospitality industries.
Low-income workers who have held multiple, low-paying jobs in recent years are more likely to have issues on their claims, Reeder said, which necessitates them to wait for a call back. These workers were more likely to be living paycheck-to-paycheck prior to the pandemic, leaving them most vulnerable to going two months without income.
One way the Department of Labor has tried to keep up with the demand is dedicating the hours of 3-6 p.m. for staff members to stop taking new calls and work through the backlog of issues by calling applicants back. Reeder said anyone who is waiting for benefits should make sure to have their voicemail set up and ready to accept messages and to pick up calls from unfamiliar numbers if they are waiting for information on a claim.
Daniel Sanchez, 50, of Twin Falls said his claim is complicated because he moved from working at a plywood company through a temp agency to working for the business full time, so his claim says he has a pending issue and he is waiting for a call from the state. His wife is taking on extra shifts at a food processing plant to help make up the difference, but he is worried if they don't get some assistance soon he could fall so far behind on his expenses that he could lose his house or his car.
"I wish I was working so I didn't have to beg the government to help," he said. "I've called, I've waited on the phone for an hour and it hangs up countless times."
The department's phone lines are still bogged down with callers in need of help, but Reeder said the state has thrown more resources at the problem. Any Department of Labor staff with experience answering unemployment claims have been transferred back to help process claims. Receptionists have been trained to answer basic questions about unemployment benefits so they can answer phones, and the department is hiring people in small groups to be trained in a socially distanced setting. But they haven't yet been able to help everyone immediately.
Gov. Brad Little said he "felt bad" about the long waits for unemployment, but pointed to other states experiencing issues around the country.
"We're getting there, but we're not getting there as fast as I would like to see it," he said during a May 14 press conference. "We are behind, but so are almost all of the other states given the magnitude (of claims)."
The stress of waiting for payments has been crushing for Mitchell Gonzales, a laid-off employee of a flooring store in Meridian. He said business was already slow in the months leading up to the pandemic, but he was let go in March and has since been struggling to get benefits to help pay his rent and medical bills.
Without insurance or income and limited savings, he is unsure how he will be able to pay his June rent or buy more insulin. Gonzales, 65, hasn't received his stimulus check and said he is unsure how to check the status of the payment.

The following is a guest post by Shawn Kendrick, a researcher and blogger for VolunteerHub, a cloud-based volunteer management software application that offers online event registration, email and SMS (text) messaging, report generation, and much more. This is the first in our VolunteerCorner series – focusing on what you need to know about volunteering for nonprofits.
Whether it's between family, friends, mates, coworkers, or business partners, the best relationships are those built on trust. The relationship between volunteer and nonprofit is no different. It can take some work, but building trust can be very beneficial to all involved. Although there are many specific suggestions we will offer below, the most important thing to remember is that the trust relationship is a two-way street that requires effort by both parties.
What You Can Do for Volunteers
Because volunteers are the ones coming forward and donating their time, it's probably best if the agency be the first to "give" in the trust-building relationship. Otherwise, it can be awkward asking for more effort from volunteers right after they agree to help out. So, start by explaining how you are going to be a trustworthy partner. For instance, if you keep volunteers' information locked in a special file, highlight that fact. Remind them that their information will never be loaned, sold, or given out. Make sure any electronic files also have appropriate levels of security. If you use volunteer scheduling software, make sure the provider gives excellent security as well. Assure volunteers that you'll never give out their schedule to anyone they haven't authorized in writing.
You'll also want to take the time to ask if it's OK to recognize them as a volunteer in agency-generated media. Ask this same question about third-party media sources. For various reasons, some people may cringe upon seeing their picture or name in the paper, even if it's in connection with a good cause.
What to Ask of Your Volunteers
As we alluded to earlier, asking volunteers to jump through hoops just to give their time can be difficult. However, if you remind them of the fact that these measures also help ensure that they work only beside people who are appropriate for the agency, staff, and clientele, most will understand.
A good place to start is a basic criminal background check. These can be done fairly inexpensively. Explain that you aren't looking for traffic tickets (unless they are driving an agency vehicle), credit checks, or financial records. You concern is to avoid putting someone with a serious criminal record in touch with clients, staff, and other volunteers. Although some may be put off by this, others may even welcome it, appreciating the fact that you put forth the extra effort to insure everyone's safety.
You may also want them to sign off on the same policy and procedural manuals you give to paid staff. Just because you aren't paying volunteers doesn't mean there aren't performance expectations. Also, for liability sake, this may be a good idea. If a volunteer were to be involved in an accident or some other incident, you may need to show that the volunteer was aware of agency policy and procedures.
These simple suggestions can establish the ground floor for building a trusting relationship between the organization and volunteers. With a little thought, there are likely numerous other ideas specific to your situation. Trust building does take some time and effort, but your organization will be glad you made the investment.

How are you doing…? It's a question I am asked on a constant basis. I realize it's just people showing they care about my well-being, but it makes me feel like I am broken. Maybe that's the problem. I am broken.
It's been almost 4 months since my craniotomy to have my tumor removed and although I look and seem back to normal, I feel far from it.
Since my last post, the main thing I had been waiting on was to get my another MRI and follow up with my neurosurgeon. The MRI came back great and the neurosurgeon said I was recovering wonderfully.
My first update I wrote, though difficult to piece together, was much easier to write. I can't say I have ever been one to be incredibly open with my emotions and feelings, but I feel like this is important to share for others that may deal with similar issues. Mental health is a serious issue and it needs to stop being treated as if you can bury it away and magically be better.
For me, after surgery, physically I was getting better by leaps and bounds every day. The pain I was dealing with beforehand was excruciating and now felt almost nonexistent. I was back to walking, driving, hanging out with my friends and just trying to live a normal life.
Physically I am back to almost 100%. I still don't feel as strong as I used to, but that is mainly due to me not working out. The pain I was dealing with beforehand made it impossible, but now it's the exhaustion. I'm tired all the time.
Part of this, the neurosurgeon said, is normal and I should get better with time. He said everyone heals differently and that physically I bounced back much faster than most people he has seen. I guess it just takes more time for my brain to heal. It has much more space in my skull than it used to.
The headaches are much better. Previously, I literally had a headache all the time. Really it was more like the worst migraine you could ever imagine 24/7. Now I do still get them here and there, but it's much more manageable.
The strangest thing for me is that my brain just doesn't feel right. I don't know how to explain it, as it's not necessarily a pain, although sometimes it does hurt. The best way I can describe it is as if I went through a brain transplant and my brain is still getting used to the size and shape of it's new skull. I'm sure that sounds weird to many and trust me it feels peculiar to me as well.
The hardest part is wanting to heal mentally as fast as I did physically. This is very much from my previous mentality. If I got hurt playing hockey, snowboarding, skateboarding, ect. I would just grin and bear it. Play through the pain as they say. When your mind isn't right, it's not that easy.
I went to see my primary care physician as I still deal with concentration problems. My memory is atrocious. I started rating movies on IMBD because I would start watching things and swear I have seen them before only to look them up and see I already rated it, usually poorly. Meeting new people is hard. I recognize faces, but can't remember names or what was talked about.
I went to see my primary care physician as I wanted to talk to him about anxiety and depression that I had been dealing with. This has lead me to be diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. He said that dealing with the intense pain for so many months, not being able to figure out a solution, being blindsided by having a tumor and then sudden surgery, the stress of it all really takes its toll on a person. He prescribed me Prozac to treat PTSD and I have been on that for about 6 weeks. It does actually seem to help.
Some of the other issues I am still dealing with are Tinnitus, which is ringing in my ears. I typically get this in the evening and it is incredibly annoying. Sometimes it is so loud that you want to stick ear plugs in, but unfortunately it is coming from inside my own head.
Another issue I always had, but has been worse after surgery is Nystagmus. That is a condition where your eyes shake back and forth quickly and uncontrollably. This typically happens when I'm trying to focus on tasks such as drawing and usually when I am tired. Luckily this only happens briefly and I can close my eyes and refocus.
Both of these issues seem like they are slowly getting better, but it's a steep hill to climb. My mental issues tend to be on the uptick as well. As many of you have seen, I have been drawing a lot more recently and that really helps. It's honestly the thing I look forward to most every day.
Work has been going slowly. As you can imagine going through all these issues and trying to make cold calls to drum up more business is draining. So if you or anyone you know does IT purchasing for a company, let me know.
Otherwise, I have artwork for sale, will do commissions or come get tattooed. If none of those apply, I still have a GoFundMe up.

Conscious Life Begins on Earth
God's heavenly sons, who had sung at the founding of the earth as a special creation, fol-lowed this drama of creation with the keenest of interest. Little did they realize that what was finally to be brought forth on this the closing work day of the creative week was to affect heaven and earth and to make necessary the creating of new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness is to dwell uninterruptedly forever. The evening of this day begins! "And God went on to say: 'Let the earth put forth living souls according to their kinds, domestic animal and creeping animal and wild beast of the earth according to its kind.' And it came to be so." (Gen. 1:24) God here addressed the dry land, which he had called Earth. He did not call for the waters of the seas to develop animals for life on the land. What were the "living souls" that he commanded the earth to put forth? Human creatures? No, but animals inferior to man, namely, domestic animals, creeping animals and wild beasts, distinct family kinds of each that did not crossbreed. The fact that God specified domestic animals disclosed he had man in view with whom certain animals would be pleased to live in close contact, to serve man's interests more fully. On the other hand, the wild beasts would prefer the open fields and forests. The creeping animals included insects and reptiles.
"And God proceeded to make the wild beast of the earth according to its kind and the domestic animal according to its kind and every creeping animal of the ground according to its kind. And God got to see that it was good." (Gen. 1:25) Included among these "living souls" were the tremendous land reptiles, the dinosaurs with their absence of fur and their definitely snakelike shape of head, such as the stegosaurus with an armor-plated spine, the protoceratops that laid eggs, the diplodocus, the tyrannosaurus, 20 feet high and 45 feet long, and the brontosaurus that weighed as much as 50 tons and was 100 feet long. Bones of these have been found, although they have long been extinct. They were the giants of the animal kingdom, and demonstrated God's power. These and the other forms of animal life preceded man and God took care of them by his due provision; man was not necessary. Job 38:39 to 39:30.
As respects their food God later said to man: "And to every wild beast of the earth and to every flying creature of the heavens and to everything creeping upon the earth in which there is life as a soul I have given all green vegetation for food." (Gen. 1:30) At that time the lion must have eaten green vegetation like the ox, and this was plentiful, even in the arctic and antarctic regions. Because of the mild climate all over the globe, kinds of animals now found only in tropical regions were not confined to equatorial areas but ranged over large parts of Europe and northern Asia and North America. Frozen carcasses of mammoths with green vegetation in their mouths or undigested in their stomachs found in far northern regions prove it.
At this stage earth was like a cageless zoological garden. It did not then display the climax of God's earthly creation. But God had not created earth merely for such a show place. He made it principally for the creature to inhabit who would have all these forms of conscious life in subjec-tion. "For thus saith Jehovah who created the heavens, God himself who formed the earth and made it, he who established it, not as waste did he create it: he formed it to be inhabited: I am Jehovah, and there is none else." (Isa. 45:18) The time had at last come for him to start off the realization of this final purpose regarding the earth. To do this he did not transplant any angel from heaven nor any supposed "disembodied soul" up there. Man was not to be a degradation of an angel; he has no ties of relationship with angels. Since the only-begotten Son of God, when becoming human flesh and blood, was made a little lower than the angels, mankind is lower in order than the heavenly angels. Hence in making man God did not work from a lower form of intelligent life up to a higher man but in the opposite direction. Still, it was marvelous, in that it was a new kind of intelligent creature, a material one; and it excited the wonder of the observing angels and made them shout for joy.
Neither did God address some lower form of animal life say, the most intelligent and the most humanlike—and command it to develop into a man. God proceeded to make a direct new creature, separate and distinct from angels and inferior animals or beasts. This new creature would not be related by ties of flesh to beasts, birds or fishes. Hence the inspired statement is: "Not all flesh is the same flesh, but there is one of man-kind, and there is another flesh of cattle, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish. And there are heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies." (1 Cor. 15:39, 40) If not the earth and if not some lower animal then alive on earth, whom did God address before this new creature came into existence? For it is written: "And God [Hebrew, Elohim] went on to say: 'Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness, and let them have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and the domestic animals and all the earth and every creeping animal that is creeping upon the earth.' " —Gen. 1:26.
"Let us," said God (EloMm'). There is no echo of polytheism here, as if God were a number of gods or persons within himself. Furthermore, the custom of a ruler to speak of himself in the plural number as "we" and "us" appeared with the Persians, as shown at Ezra 4:18. But God is not to be understood here as talking to himself, deliberating with himself, and addressing himself in the plural of majesty and excellence. Whom, then, does he address? The Jerusalem Tar gum, which is an Aramaic paraphrase of Genesis, reads: "And Jehovah said to the angels... : 'Let us make man.' " Many Jewish rabbis, too, believe God here addressed the angels by his words, "Let us." But to get the inspired interpretation of God's words, we must turn to the words of his inspired apostles, who inform us that God used his only-begotten Son, the Word, in bringing all other things, including man, into existence. (John 1:1-4; Col. 1:13-17) We make no mistake, then, in understanding that God said, "Let us," to his co-worker, his only-begotten Son, the Word, in his prehuman condition. He could properly say to him, "Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness," because, says the apostle Paul, "he is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation"; "the Christ, who is the image of God." —Col. 1:15 and 2 Cor. 4:4.
It was because of being made in the image and likeness of God that man would be, not just a mere conscious living creature like the fishes, birds and beasts, but a son of God. An earthly creature, in order to be a son of God, would have to resemble his heavenly Father and should be able to receive his Father's spirit and bring forth its fruitage of love. (Gal. 5:22, 23) For man and his mate to be the children of God it was necessary for them to be above the lower animals and to fulfill the divine purpose: "Let them have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and the domestic animals and all the earth and every creeping animal that is creeping upon the earth."
"Although he used his only-begotten Son in the work, the record speaks as if God alone did the work, creating man, not in their image, but in his own. "And God proceeded to create the man in his image, in God's image he created him; male and female he created them." (Gen. 1:27) Here we have the third, fourth and fifth times that the verb "create" is used in relation to the work of God. Does it here mean to make something out of nothing? No; but he used matter already to hand, as the fuller account of man's creation discloses. The way Genesis 1:27 is worded also agrees with the fuller account, that God created first the one human, the man, the male, and after that he "created the female. For this fuller account we must here turn to chapter two of Genesis.
"Then Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul. Further, Jehovah God planted a garden in Eden, toward the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed. Thus Jehovah God made to grow out of the ground every tree desirable to one's sight and good for food and also the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and bad."—Gen. 2:7-9.
Taking the dust of Eden, or the sixteen chemical elements of the dust, which was inorganic matter, God proceeded to create man, forming his body with nostrils to breathe the atmosphere of the expanse. Still air may have filled the hollow places of the body thus formed, but the body did not breathe; it was lifeless. What made it begin to live? Was it the putting of a "soul" in it, an outside intelligence such as the pagans try to describe, and making it take up residence in the body? To the contrary, God's own record says that Jehovah God proceeded to "blow into his nostrils the breath of life". That is, with air through the nostrils God expanded the body's lungs and started it to breathing and to living. He put the force of life into that body that he had formed complete with all its parts. What resulted when God combined the human body with the force of life, causing it to breathe? A living soul! God's record says: "And the man came to be a living soul." The apostle Paul agrees with this, saying, at 1 Corinthians 15:45: "So also it is written, 'The first man, Adam, became a living soul.' " This first man did not have in him what pagans call a "soul", but he came to be a living soul, just the same as the fishes and the land animals are living souls. (Gen. 1:20, 21, 24) When Luke 3:38 speaks of "Adam, the son of God", it does so, not because Adam had a soul in him and the lower creatures did not, but because Adam was created in God's image and likeness. Adam was therefore the highest soul on earth, and so he could have in subjection to him the other souls in the sea and on the land and in the air.
How did God create the female of the human kind? She proved to be something new and dif-ferent; but she was created from matter already at God's disposal, starting with a rib from man's side. Since Adam was not self-reproducing, how could she be of Adam's bone and flesh unless God took part of Adam's body as a base with which to create her? God had made it impossible for man to crossbreed with any of his inferiors, the animals, even the manlike ape, and God made the man to realize this fact. "And Jehovah God went on to say: 'It is not good for the man to continue by himself. I am going to make a helper for him, as a complement of him.' Now Jehovah God was forming from the ground every wild beast of the field and every flying creature of the heavens and he began bringing them to the man to see what he would call each one; and whatever the man would call it, each living soul, that was its name. So the man was calling the names of all the domestic animals and of the flying creatures of the heavens and of every wild beast of the field, but for man there was found no helper as a comple-ment of him. Hence Jehovah God had a deep sleep fall upon the man and, while he was sleeping, he took one of his ribs and then closed up the flesh over its place. And Jehovah God proceeded to build the rib that he had taken from the man into a woman and to bring her to the man. Then the man said: 'This is at last bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. This one will be called Woman, because from man this one was taken.' "—Gen. 2:18-23.
Jesus Christ did not pronounce this Genesis record of the creation of man and woman and of God's marrying them childish, mythical and too fantastic to be believed. He knew it was absolutely true, because he himself had been there as God's creative agent. Quoting the Genesis record, Jesus said to his religious critics: "Did you not read that he who created them at the beginning made them male and female and said: 'For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and will stick to his wife, and the two will be one flesh'? So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has yoked together let no man put apart." (Matt. 19:3-6; Gen. 2:24) In this way the Creator kept the human race from being of hybrid flesh, a family of pure human souls.
It was when marrying them that God gave them his blessing and in it stated to them his purpose in putting them on the earth. As it is written: "Further, God blessed them and God said to them: 'Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is creeping upon the earth.' " The animals that they were to have in subjection they were not to kill for food: "And God went on to say: 'Here I have given to you all vegetation bearing seed which is on the surface of the whole earth and every tree on which there is the fruit of a tree bearing seed. To you let it serve as food. And to every wild beast of the earth and to every flying creature of the heavens and to everything creeping upon the earth in which there is life as a soul I have given all green vegetation for food.' And it came to be so." Gen. 1:28-30.
The reason why they and the animals should feed on the vegetable kingdom was that the vege-table kingdom is soulless, whereas there is "living soul" in the animal kingdom. Literally, Genesis 1:30 quoted above reads: "And everything creep-ing upon the earth in which there is living soul." An American Translation renders this phrase: "And to all the land reptiles, in which there is a living spirit"; the Revised Standard Version: "And to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life." But the Hebrew expression here is different from that of Genesis 2:7, which declares that God blew into man's nostrils the "breath of life". Hence the New World Translation best renders Genesis 1:30 with the expression "life as a soul". In the Hebrew Bible the word neph'esh, besides meaning the living person or animal, often means the life as a soul that such person or animal possesses. For that reason Jehovah God, after the flood of Noah's day, commanded mankind not to eat the blood of the animal kingdom: "Only flesh with its soul its blood you must not eat. And, besides that, your blood of your souls shall I ask back. From the hand of every living creature shall I ask it back; and from the hand of man, from the hand of one who is his brother, shall I ask back the soul of man. Anyone shedding man's blood, by man will his own blood be shed, for in God's image he made man." (Gen. 9:4-6) On the basis of this meaning of "soul" Jesus Christ on earth could "give his soul a ransom in exchange for many".—Matt. 20:28.
The creation of man and woman occurred in the morning of the sixth day and crowned God's earthly work. "After that God saw everything he had made and, look! it was very good. And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, a sixth day." (Gen. 1:31) God's work in its entirety was very good. It was the product of Him who is the sum of all goodness. As his Son Jesus once said to a man who called him "good Teacher": "Why do you call me good? Nobody is good, except one, God." (Mark 10:17, 18) The goodness of God's work means that Adam and his wife were created in human perfection, with no parts missing and no parts superfluous, completely sound. No sin and imperfection in man can be traced to the Creator: "The Rock, perfect is his activity, for all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness, with whom there is no injustice; righteous and upright is he. They have acted ruinously on their own part; they are not his children, the defect is their own." (Deut. 32:4, 5) How could God create man in his own image and likeness and at the same time create him imperfect and unbalanced as to wisdom, justice, power and love? He could not do so. The perfect man and woman, according to God's mandate to them in Eden, were to reproduce their kind and to fill, not heaven, but the entire earth with their perfect offspring. At the same time they were to subdue all the earth outside their garden of Eden and to hold all other living creatures in subjection.
God's sixth creative day now came to its close. God could now desist from earthly work and turn over to the perfect man and woman the populating and the subduing of the earth on the 7,000-year-long seventh day of God's creative week. "Thus the heavens and the earth and all their army came to their completion. And by the seventh day God came to the completion of his work that he had made, and he proceeded to rest [or, desist] on the seventh day from all his work that he had made. And God proceeded to bless the seventh day and make it sacred, because on it he has been resting [or, desisting] from all his work that God has created for the purpose of making. This is a history of the heavens and the earth in the time of their being created, in the day that Jehovah God made earth and heaven." (Gen. 2:1-4) No record exists of God's creating a "hell" of fire for tormenting human souls.

|Re: Wanted Ctorrent Betatester
Subject: Re: Wanted Ctorrent Betatester
by yescop on 2008/2/7 23:19:07
Well I compiled it a few months ago and it works very well except for a bug described in the enhanced torrent site.
Sometimes, the download is completed but if the torrent is launched again, they tell us that the files are incomplete.
The solution is remove one line of code.
I post this message to know two things.
I don't release my version because first I don't succeed to replace the calls to sigaction (in sigint.cpp for example).
Second, with the version dhn 3.2, we can create files bigger than 2 Go (with fopen64, fwrite64 calls) but for the moment we don't have the sdk I right ?
If not, how did you manage it ?
To conclude, this version of ctorrent is very good, is working very well.
I use it (option -T) when I need to download files with names incompatible with amiga os4.
Without sigaction, I must "strike" my key enter every minute so you can't sleep. If not the initialisation step is stopped.
During the download, I must do the same.
But here, I use a trick. I enter a 255 character (e) line and I can sleep for some time...
