A $100 million lawsuit between singer Beyoncé "Beyoncé" Knowles and game studio Gate Five has come to an amicable conclusion.
In April 2011, developer Gate Five launched a lawsuit against singer Beyoncé Knowles, claiming she had agreed to take part in the creation of a videogame called Starpower: Beyoncé but then demanded more money out of the deal once work had begun. That led a jumpy investor to pull out of the project, which in turn resulted in Beyoncé's departure in December 2010.
The collapse of Starpower: Beyoncé put 70 people out of work and effectively stuck a fork in Gate Five, but there was enough life left in it to launch a $100 million lawsuit against the singer. Her lawyers had requested that the case be dismissed, arguing that she was within her rights to quit the project because the studio had failed to meet a financing deadline, but in December a judge ruled that it would be allowed to proceed.
But now it's all settled, presumably to everyone's satisfaction - "presumably" because nobody knows who got what, and probably never will. "We've settled amicably," said Peter Gallagher, a lawyer representing Gate Five. "I can't discuss the terms of the settlement, but it was resolved."
So that's that, then. Naturally, we offer our congratulations and best wishes to all involved.

I wrote this yesterday, "inspired" by the news of a dear teacher's cancer, and my mother's brutal, though cosmetic, surgery.
It doesn't go well for Christians. I mean people who really seek to live according to eh ways set forth in the Bible. For those who hear the call to give up their life in order to save it, to care for the orphans and the widows in their distress, the beckoning to come and die. For those people it simply does not go well.
Their bodies are attacked and beaten and broken, their faces and throats slashed.
And their souls are salved, stretched, and strengthened, their spirits lifted high.
Friends and family are torn away – love is proven false with accusations of fanaticism.
And their true helper, redeemer, and restorer are revealed – there is no condemnation for those in Christ.
They starve in the slums of Africa and the wrong side of American tracks.
And dining with Him, they feast at the table of the King.
They become disenchanted with fleeting pass times and meaningless words.
While their time instead gets invested into eternal, never-passing affairs, and the tale of their testimony proves not entertaining, but altering.
They face uncertainty, eventual pain and calamity, they will lose everything.
Their weaknesses will show His strength, the distress of the earth – reveal His perfection. All that was gain now counted as loss.
They will ache, moan, and mourn in desire for something they can never have.
And he will change them, make them new, all their desires become His, become theirs too.
They will wonder at questions the answers to which they can never understand.
And the peace which transcends all understanding will come upon their hearts and minds and guard them.
They will fail at everything, every time, that they try.
And He will turn all things to the good of those who love him, who are called according to His purpose.
They will despair at their strife and struggles, look around at the state of their world and fall to their knees in pain.
And it is there that they will meet the caller, author and perfecter of their faith, who will bring to completion all the good work He starts in them.
No, it is not "well" that life goes for these.

Creative blogger Oliver Wetter writes about about advantages amateur artists can take when not being popular.
Being a popular artist can be great when you have followers that do the PR for you and your name is given more value. On the other hand, being a popular artist can give you the constant pressure of producing great artwork, avoiding any controversy, and keeping a certain style of work. Oliver discusses some of these subjects on Fantasio and sheds hope to all artist who might struggle when it comes to their popularity in the social media art realm.

Although bitcoin has been slowly gaining popularity for years, it made headlines last week, hitting a record high and sparking debate over whether it is a bubble that will burst. When bitcoin was founded nine years ago, the coins sold for pennies. Despite volatility, the currency is up 700% this year alone, meaning early adopters are seeing large profits. Bitcoin fans are banking on this trend continuing, comparing cryptocurrencies to the internet, which was once looked at as a complicated technology only useful to computer experts. Bitcoin investors expect cryptocurrencies will explode in the same way once they become more accessible, and now companies like Square and London Block Exchange are making that thought seem plausible by offering services that allow customers to buy, sell and spend bitcoin.
Last Wednesday, Square, a credit card processing system that allows anyone with an iPhone or iPad to quickly accept credit card transactions, announced it would begin to allow users to hold and sell bitcoin on its platform. Those with access to the app's beta interface can swipe right from the Cash Card page, where their balance appears in both USD and BTC, along with Buy/Sell buttons. A graph displays bitcoin performance over the last day, month or year.
For now, Square only permits the buying and selling of bitcoin via an exchange, so users cannot purchase new coins or send them to other users. However, a recent Credit Suisse report states, "We believe it could place SQ in an early-mover position as a mainstream fin-tech company providing crypto-currency services." This provides strong support of the bitcoin supporters' internet theory. Once the currency becomes more accessible to everyday consumers, it has the potential to take off.
London Block Exchange
One day after the Square announcement, news broke that UK start-up London Block Exchange (LBX) was releasing Dragoncard, a prepaid debit card that will allow users to spend cryptocurrency anywhere in the UK. In addition to bitcoin, users will be able to convert ethereum, ripple, litecoin and monero to sterling at the point of purchase. The card can be used at any store that accepts Visa, making it significantly easier for users to spend their coins. Currently, the process can take several minutes to complete if the vendor accepts the currency at all.
The Dragoncard also allows users to buy and hold cryptocurrencies through the LBX exchange using a linked app. The company hopes to remove the barriers to access cryptocurrency, making it more realistic for everyday use.
Although both companies are working to make it easier for clients to use and spend bitcoins, we are unsure if it will be enough to make a difference, as most people are buying the coins without any intention of spending them. After all, the people that spent thousands of bitcoins on everyday items when the currency first launched are now realizing they could have been millionaires if they had held on to them until now.
This could be bad news for companies like Square and LBX that are planning on people actually using their coins. While a debit card that allows users to spend cryptocurrencies like cash will make bitcoin more accessible, it won't matter unless people are willing to part with their investments.

Omega Message – May 1994
Cecil duCille
The word "holy" as used in Scripture carries four basic meanings:
1. It means wholeness; right; righteousness (as measured by the standard of God's intrinsic or divine character).
2. It refers to human statutes and relations.
3. Formal consecration.
4. Purity from defilement.
The words "Holy Matrimony" can only be translated in one way, by number one above, as measured by God's standard and divine character. Matrimony is the rite of marriage. Marriage is described in the Oxford Dictionary as: "the legal union between a man and woman to live together and to have children."
When God created marriage He revealed the whole principle upon which the universe would consist. He revealed the basic concept of the relationship between Himself and His creation. Let us look into the scriptural basis for this premise:
Genesis 1:27-28: "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."
Careful scrutiny of the above passage tells us a few astounding truths:
I. Adam was made as two persons in one, since God referred to him as "them," when as yet Adam knew no such person as a woman.
2. "…Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth…" The words of God suggest here that there is another and more spiritual way of being fruitful and multiplying, different from the way we have known since the fall of Adam.
3. "…and replenish the earth." This sounds like the earth was out of proper order. The language suggests that it was not in the condition in which God had created it, but that it needed replenishment and that the man was to fill in the need of the earth. This thought is further borne out by the first part of Verse 2 in Genesis 1:
"And the earth was (became) without form, and void…"
Here in this verse, the correct translation of the verb "to be" should not be "was," but "became."
In order to expand these thoughts, let us look into another scripture passage concerning the union of Adam and Eve:
Genesis 2:18-24 (From the Torah), "The Lord God said, 'It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make a fitting helper for him.' And the Lord God formed out of the earth all the beasts and all the birds of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them: and whatever the man called each living creature, that would be its name. And the man gave names to all the cattle and to the birds of the sky and to all the beasts; but for Adam no fitting helper was found. So the Lord God cast a deep sleep upon the man; and, while he slept, He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that spot. And the Lord God fashioned the rib that He had taken from the man into a woman: and He brought her to the man. The man said, 'This one at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. This one shall be called 'Ishshah' (woman) for from 'ishi' (man) was she taken.' Hence a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife, so that they become one flesh."
Let us summarize this passage and consider the points of reference in this very important scripture:
1. It is evident that God must have had some great spiritual meaning behind the taking of a rib from Adam to form Eve. In the first place the word translated "rib" should rather be "curved organs." The word in the Hebrew is pronounced "tsal-aw," and it can either be singular or plural, but we believe it is plural because of the following:
2. In this verse, Adam said that she "…is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh." This means that God did not just remove a single bone from Adam, but that He also removed flesh. Since, at the beginning when Adam was made, the Lord indicated that He had made both Mr. and Mrs. Adam in one being, then the parts of Adam which belonged to Eve must have been removed with the bone
3. Why did the scripture deliberately mention a rib bone? One of the reasons could be that Adam and Eve would have the same blood. There would be a blood bond and a blood covenant between them, even though their bodies had not been joined in a marital relationship. God had made them one. The blood is manufactured in the long bones, therefore Eve had Adam's blood. This tells us why Adam could not walk away from her when she sinned. When she sinned, he also lost. She was his flesh and his blood. He was bound to stand with her for better or for worse, even unto death.
When Adam said to God, "The woman that Thou gavest me…" he actually cast the responsibility on God, but for this responsibility God had pre-arranged that Christ should go to Calvary to pay for our sins.
4. Adam's deep sleep in the birthing of his wife is a type of the death of Jesus Christ and His being in the grave for three days, in which time He went to hell to pay for our sins; and the Church was born. Take note that Adam was wounded in his side, and that Jesus in the process was wounded in His side, and that in both cases a covenant in blood was made with the woman, and this covenant made them one.
5. This was the beginning of holy matrimony. The witnesses of heaven looked on while God, who was the Father of both, gave them away to each other. It was a momentous occasion in the history of humanity, because this was the pattern of that which should come, which would join God Himself to be one with the human race which He had made.
6. Adam said, "Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife…." Adam did not know anything about a mother or father in an earthly sense, and for him to say this, we must take it as direct prophecy. In Matthew 19:5, Jesus repeated the same phrase, ascribing it to God, which tells us that it was the Word of the Lord which was spoken by Adam.
Matthew 19:4-6, "And he (Jesus) answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together let not man put asunder."
From the above we see that God created matrimony and that He presided over the first wedding between man and woman. This matrimony was holy, because it was ordained of God to conform to His divine purpose. This became a pattern for all men, but in the transgression of man, we departed from God's will and purpose in marriage. Thus there are marriages which are not according to God's order and not in His will. There are even some marriages that would never be able to please God.
Jesus Christ expanded on what Adam said. It was God's will that new families should be started with marriages. The marriage partners were no longer bound by the laws of God to obey their parents, but rather were to come out from under their umbrella and form a new household. Jesus explained that they would become "…one flesh." Two bodies with one flesh. Again we see the blood covenant of God coming into effect.
A blood covenant is one that involves the blood of the two parties. A story in the life of the great explorer, Stephenson, very adequately explains the meaning of a blood covenant. The story goes that he was traveling in Africa and could not pass through the land of a very fierce tribe who refused to give him passage. He, however, found among his men a man who said that he was a "blood brother" to one man in the tribe. (That meant that he had made a blood covenant with one man in the tribe). If he could establish this, then all of his company, regardless of who they were, would be accepted as blood brothers.
He approached the tribe, and they made them renew their covenant with the cutting of their wrists, dropping the blood into a vessel, mixing it with wine and drinking it. The story describes the change of attitude immediately after this was done. They were not only allowed to cross the country, but were given every help possible in doing so, and their goods were protected night and day
A blood covenant cannot be broken, except by death. If one breaks the blood covenant, then that one forfeits his or her life. When Christ made a blood covenant with the human race, He knew that they would break it; therefore when He became guarantor of the pact, His death became imperative.
Now in Matthew 19:6, He pronounces one of those divine order laws that cannot be broken: "What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." No one could separate Adam and Eve. No one could write a bill of divorcement. In holy matrimony, there is no divorcement.
We could categorize marriage into two basic types:
(1) Holy matrimony, and
(2) Matrimony that is not holy.
Holy matrimony is the union of two persons according to God's holy ordinance, with the intent to please God. The working parts of this matrimony are a man, a woman, and God. The foundation of it is love, as described below:
"Love endures long and is patient and kind; Love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy; is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily. It is not conceited—arrogant and inflated with pride; it is not rude (unmannerly), and does not act unbecomingly. Love [God's love in us] does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes not account of the evil done to it—pays no attention to a suffered wrong. It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail. Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances and it endures everything [without weakening]. Love never fails—never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end. As for prophecy, it will be fulfilled and pass away; as for tongues, they will be destroyed and cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away [that is, it will lose its value and be superseded by truth]… And so faith, hope, love abide…these three, but the greatest of these is love" (1 Corinthians 13:4-8,13).
Marriage was made for the Christian and divorce for sinners. Without the proper ingredients in the proper place, marriage is not holy. If men and women marry because they love the beautiful faces and beautiful bodies of each other, then their marriage is not holy. The motivating factor in holy matrimony is holiness. God must be the cornerstone of holy marriage.
Love and marriage
Our nature as children of God is to love, and our love is not always perfect but if our intention is to bring forth the will of God, then He will correct us. Because of our imperfections, we must realize that love of a person is not sufficient basis for marriage. If this was so then any brother could marry to any sister, but I believe that even as God crafted Eve for Adam, He makes and provides a partner for every man. Very often the man misses his true partner because of disobedience and rebellion. When this happens, then the Lord will have to fashion someone else for someone else. The Lord is always fixing and crafting to supply the needs of His creation. Here are some fitting scriptures:
"Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord" (Proverbs 18:22).
"House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the Lord" (Proverbs 19:14).
"Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies" (Proverbs 31:10).
God is in the business of creating wives out of women, and He began giving His daughters away to His sons in the beginning when He gave Eve to Adam, and He has never stopped since. A good man deserves a good woman and if the children of God follow the rules of righteousness, they will never be caught in the traps that are set for fools.
Check these "Ifs" and see where you stand.
(a) If a man finds himself lusting after a woman, or visa versa, then he is not ready to marry that woman or anyone else. The fruit of lust is sin, therefore one who wants righteousness cannot choose sin with the hope that it will work righteousness.
(b) If a man cannot resist the sight of a woman in scanty clothes, or otherwise, then he is vulnerable and not fit for battle, he must find repentance.
(c) If a woman loves to wear scanty clothes and make-up to beautify herself, then she is being oppressed by the spirit of the age, the spirit of the harlot. She must find repentance before Christ returns, for she will silently send many men to hell. She will attract men for the wrong reason, thus attracting the wrong men. Many women wonder why they are so bad lucked to be always getting the wrong type of person interested in them. The reason is not a secret. Whatever they are doing, they are attracting the wrong type of men. This is done by the mode of dress, hairstyle, body language, etc. Honey will attract bees every time, and flypaper will look edible to flies.
We implore each Christian to begin to look to the Lord for his/her partner. Do not trust in your titivation, good looks, or anything of the kind. For man looks at the outside, but God alone looks at the heart and God is mindful of each person's need and will supply it according to His riches in glory.
Because God has set a standard for marriage, then everything outside of His standard, which is contrary to His law, is an unlawful marriage. For instance: Marriages of the same sex (homosexual marriages), marriages of convenience, marriages among sinners, and marriages of near of kin.
Homosexual Marriages:
In the Word, the Lord calls this type of marriage an abomination. The only cure for homosexuality is total repentance, which means that the individual would cease to be a homosexual at heart as well as in practice, and turn to God. There are cases of people who have been cured of homosexuality.
"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind. It is abomination" (Leviticus 18:22).
The Spirit of God speaking through the apostle Paul to the Roman church, speaks of this sin:
"Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness (pornia) through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves…. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another: men with men working that which is unseemly and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind to do those things which are not convenient"; (Romans 1:24-28).
From the above passage we see homosexuality condemned of God in both men and women. Let us look at the chief points in the foregoing passage.
1. Homosexuality is uncleanness. The Greek word "pornia" translated above as "uncleanness" is also translated in some passages as "fornication." In the Greek it is a stronger term than is expressed in the English. It speaks of something diabolical and diametrically opposite to godliness. It means a depravity of mind, and the body as well, through demonically orchestrated actions.
2. It is a spiritual disease of the heart and not just superficial physical activity. This means that the very seat of man's decision-making apparatus is bugged by the infusion of corruption into its mechanism.
3. Verse 21: "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened."
The heart is that spiritual part of man which controls all his decisions. It says that their heart was darkened, which means that the individual who participates in homosexuality suffers a personality change so that a thing that is basically evil and unclean appears to him to be good and admissible.
4. Verse 24: "Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness…to dishonor their own bodies between themselves."
The functions of the body are set of God the Creator, thus anyone who creates dysfunction in his or her body dishonors the body and its maker.
God created man with these unique body systems: mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, and excretory. We can fix the mechanical, and achieve some measure of mobility by replacing joints with artificial joints. We can tamper with the electrical, and boost nerves with electronic chips and other methods. We have a measure of success also with the excretory. The hydraulic, however is a different matter. It has a delicate balance of chromosomes, DNA, corpuscles, and plasma with a mysterious energy that is not yet fully understood by science. This energy, we know from the Scriptures, is called the "life." Leviticus 17:11 tells us that, "…the life of the flesh is in the blood," which is the reason why we should not eat blood.
The Scripture says a man and his wife become one flesh. This is because they exchange body fluids, and the seminal fluid is indeed blood. The practice of homosexuality, however, involves an exchange of body fluid that is not within the system which God has ordained for it to be placed, but where fluid from the hydraulic system (the blood) is mixed with the excretory system. The excretory system is meant to handle the waste matter that the body rejects and it is full of bacteria. If these same bacteria get into the drinking water, people come up with fearful epidemics like cholera, etc. We believe that this mixture of the blood with fecal bacteria is the cause of AIDS since it is a blood disease that breaks down the main building blocks of the blood.
5. It says, "…God gave them over…." Whatever God gives over, the devil takes. This means that those who enter homosexuality become demon possessed.
6. "…God gave them over to a reprobate mind." The "reprobate" mind is that of a castaway, or a person whose mind is adversely affected by truth or righteousness, so that he will act the opposite to the way he ought. He will reject those that are good and acclaim those who are evil. He will call good evil and evil good. If such a person becomes a judge, administrator, or an officer with powers over others, he will show a twisted and biased approach to justice, and he will sometimes mistake logic for truth.
Marriages of Convenience:
A marriage of convenience is one that is designed basically for the purpose of satisfying the physical needs of the parties involved rather than to glorify God. There are cases where women have been caught in carefully laid schemes and trapped into marriages, to which they consent only to cover the shame to which they were subjected by some masculine human animal that raped them.
There are other marriages where men and women consent to a legal joining, where they recognize that the law that joined them has the power to break or dissolve the marriage. This is not so with a true Christian marriage. Those whom God has joined together, no man can break apart. Under this heading would come the Hollywood and Paris type of marriage. The Scriptures speak of this in Matthew 24:38-39:
"For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."
In some of these, they have pre-nuptial agreements in which a divorce agreement is actually written inside of the marriage contract. A marriage with a divorce agreement is a desecration of marriage, and in short is just another legal contract; only in this case, the participants are investing their life and their blood.
Marriage among sinners:
It is written that a sinner must sin, but even as there is a sin unto death, there is a sin against marriage that can break a marriage. Sinners are under the law, since they have not attained grace, which is only in Christ Jesus. The law, therefore, was written for sinners, as you will agree with me that if you are told not to kill, not to steal, not to covet your neighbor's wife, not to commit adultery, then this injunction in itself is saying that there is an expectation that you would be doing these things. So then, the law was not made for the righteous, but for sinners.
In Matthew 19, Jesus explained the law written in Deuteronomy 24, and in doing this He reiterated the law that says that fornication ("pornia" in the Greek) breaks a marriage. This is so, because when a married person has sexual union with another partner, then he/she mixes their blood with another blood, and the married couple are no longer one flesh. This is not the unpardonable sin, and the Word encourages us in 1 Corinthians 7 to forgive, but if there is no repentance and the sin continues, then all three persons will be living in adultery. Let me give you the scriptures here before going any further.
Deuteronomy 24:1-2, "When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife."
Matthew 19:7-9, "They say unto him (Jesus), Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery:"
Let us observe these two utterances—the first by Moses and then the other by Jesus Christ. In Moses we read that a man was allowed to put away his wife if uncleanness was found in her. Jesus says here in Matthew that this was not so from the beginning. Of course, there could not be divorce in the beginning because there was no sin. Jesus used the words, "…because of the hardness of your hearts" as to why a man was allowed to put away his wife. Moses gave the reason for the putting away as "uncleanness." Moses wrote in Hebrew and so when Jesus was quoting Moses, He was speaking in the same language of Moses (Jesus never spoke Greek).
The Hebrew word which was translated "uncleanness" in Deuteronomy 24:1 is "ervah" (shame, nakedness). The same word spoken by Jesus was translated in the Greek as "pornia," and then into English as "fornication." This word "ervah," or "pornia," has a much wider scope of meaning than "fornication." It would encompass every form of sexual sin and moral turpitude. It would include all that the law calls abomination, which would even include sorcery or worshipping of strange gods. Any of these can disrupt a marriage, nevertheless, the chief sin which Scripture pinpoints as breaking a marriage is sexual impropriety, since it contaminates the very foundation of the blood covenant, and the blood covenant can only be broken through death.
In a spiritual context, when a sinner makes a covenant with a sinner and then breaks it, that only adds to the sinner's sins, and when he is forgiven of his sins, then he is forgiven of all. The dead (sinners) cannot make an effective covenant of death with the dead. It would have no meaning. It follows that only those who are "alive" are capable of making a holy matrimonial covenant.
Very often we find Christians involved in matrimony with a sinner. The Bible in 1 Corinthians 7:l3-15 is clear on this point. The believer should not leave the sinner, but if the sinner leaves then the believer would be free. In Verse 11, the Word says that if the believing wife finds it necessary to leave her unbelieving husband, then she should remain unmarried; and that the believing husband should not put away his unbelieving wife.
A Christian who goes out and marries a sinner generally is in disobedience to the Lord and will come under much tribulation. However, God will redeem such a marriage if they both repent.
"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people" (2 Corinthians 6:14).
The Christian should not marry the unsaved. There cannot be holy matrimony between a Christian and an unbeliever, for the only time a sinner can please God is when he or she repents. God can intervene in a sinful marriage and make it holy, but when a Christian marries a sinner, he or she has made a definite act of rebellion against God.
Marriages of near of kin:
Leviticus 18:6, "None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the Lord."
In Leviticus 18, Verses 6 to 20, the Word describes what is meant by "near of kin." Marriages with these would be an abomination unto God and would be considered incestuous.
God made man as a bridge between Himself and His creation. We were made in the image of God and created in His likeness. That means that the blueprint of man is not that which we see manifested at this time. He did not keep us in the dark about His plans, but over the ages He sent prophets, priests, and kings who revealed to us His Word. The revealed Word tells us that the things that we see in the earth are patterns of things in the heavenlies:
"It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true: but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us" (Hebrews 9:23).
At the beginning of time, God set the earth in order and created all things necessary for natural life here; and then He made a man. This man was a perfect specimen of humanity, but his wife was made as part of himself. He was deliberately made along with his wife, who was afterwards separated from him. This tells me that God makes a woman for every man. The proof of this can be found in Genesis 4:16-17:
Verse 16, "And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden."
Verse 17, "And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch."
It is apparent that a great deal of time elapsed between Verses 16 and 17, quite possibly hundreds of years, but the manner in which Verse 17 begins, it would suggest that Cain had a wife. It did not say Cain married one of his sisters after a couple hundred years, but it said he knew his wife, which strongly suggests that he had a wife previously, which implies that he had a twin sister. Another point to consider is that Eve did not have a third son until approximately 100 years afterwards. This theory is all genetically feasible, since women are still having multiple births.
We believe it is possible for a person to miss God and miss his or her God-ordained partner, sometimes taking next best and even getting next worse. We feel, however, that those who are trusting in Christ and waiting on Him, that they do eventually get their right partners from the Lord. This arrangement of God is one that is under constant attack from the enemy. On the side of the enemy is every disobedient servant and everyone who is overcome with ungodly lusts.
From the beginning, God made Adam as a type of Christ. Types in scripture can only be types in some specific thing or things. Adam, therefore, as a type of Christ, had his wife taken from his side. God made an incision in his side, and took a rib with the curved organs, with blood, and placed it in another of His creation; and Adam called her "woman." The Church was taken from the side of Jesus Christ, and blood and water came forth. The Father meticulously orchestrated all of this, because the earthly things were to match that which was before in the heavenlies.
Marriage between man and woman, if it is to conform to the spiritual plan of God, must then have man and woman being the type of Christ and His Church. The man must be to his wife as Christ is to the Church. Because we are imperfect, even in our Christianity, we find that our marriages are also less than perfect types of Christ and the Church. Nevertheless, there is one redeeming factor, for as we are learning truth and following Christ then we will be constantly growing in grace, and thus our relationships will improve daily to become more like Christ. The end result of this growth in the human realm is a development that will bring a segment of the Church (the Bride) to a point where we will be made ready to be united with Christ even while we are here in our physical bodies.
Most of the old order teaching is that we have to die to be perfected. They are in effect saying that God cannot perfect man unless he kills him. In my estimation, a dead man is a corpse, and there is not one promise in the Bible to corpses. In other words, the Scripture says that, "God is not the God of the dead, but of the living" (Matthew 22:32). On the other hand, there are many promises that say that God will have us perfected before death. We believe that this is that which is described as the promise of the Father. Let us look at some of these scriptures.
Romans 8:18-19, "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God."
Verse 29, "For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren."
Hebrews 8:10, "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people."
Because Jesus Christ was a natural man and worked as a carpenter taking care of His mother, sisters, and brothers, then the Christian is designed to follow in His footsteps and live and overcome in the natural until he or she comes to spiritual maturity. There were three stages in Jesus' development: (a) The natural stage, (b) The spiritual stage, and (c) The New Created Man stage.
(a) He was born by natural birth from a nine months pregnancy; grew up as a child; experienced heat and cold, hunger and tiredness, and came to the age of thirty years.
(b) After His baptism in water by John, He was publicly proclaimed by the Father to be His Son. Some said it thundered, but to some it was clear enough that it could be written in the Scriptures. The fact that the Scriptures also recorded that a dove lighted on His head says that someone saw it. Quite likely the relater of all this must be Mary, the mother of Jesus. This silent narrator is seen through the whole of the New Testament and in theology is called "Quil." This is illustrated in phrases like this: "But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart" (Luke 2:19); or when Mary approached Elizabeth it is recorded that, "…the babe leaped in her womb" (Luke 1:41). There are hundreds of these in the Scriptures that we ascribe to Mary and, of course, the Holy Ghost. It should be noted that Jesus' ministry began with a wedding.
(c) The ministry of the new creation man began with Jesus' resurrection. The first words of this ministry were spoken to Mary Magdalene as she wept, thinking that they had taken away her Lord. "Mary," He said, and she answered, "Rabboni."
The image of the New Creation Man is beyond our imagination. He comes into the room and convinces the brethren that He is not a spirit. They feel His side and see Him eat and drink, and just as they thought they understood Him, He disappears into thin air.
He meets them again, encourages them, and they begin to feel comfortable about the fact that they have Him with them always; then He bids them good-bye, levitates above them, and a cloud of the heavenly host comes over Him and takes Him out of their sight. Now we all have Him, and He comes and goes, and yet He is with us always.
It transpires, then, that the coming of Jesus that we are looking for must be a coming back in His "New Creation Man" form. It is no secret that whenever we rise up in the spiritual realm we can see Jesus as He is. But then, how is He? After His resurrection He appeared in different forms as different persons several times. Mary saw him as the gardener. His brethren in the upper room saw Him with the wounds in His hands and side. When the brethren were fishing and He met them and brought forth the miraculous draught of fishes, they saw Him as a stranger, although they knew it was He. Just after His resurrection, the brethren on the road to Emmaus saw Him as a stranger, and obviously He did not have nail prints in His hands and feet; and He changed right before them as He broke and blessed the bread.
Who then do we look for? We have a clue from the Scriptures in Acts 1:11, "…this same Jesus, which in taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven." This says not only that this same Jesus will return, but that He will return in the same manner in which He was taken up.
The promise goes further than this. Just as we have been followers of Him in the first two stages (natural and spiritual), we are designated or predestinated to be conformed to His "New Creation Man" image. In Matthew 1, we see the genealogy of the forty-second generation or the generation of Jesus Christ. In us, He is bringing forth sons to be like Him in His new created form. Thus we can envision a world peopled by super beings—humans transformed into immortal flesh and functioning under a law higher than the natural law.
This law is the Law of the Spirit, which at this present time is freeing us from the natural. This freedom will only be accomplished when we are filled with the same fullness that Jesus Christ has. This will only be done when we have overcome the natural—that is, when this body of death is eradicated from our beings. So far no man but Jesus Christ Himself has achieved this, but we know that this is reserved for a people that God calls His "elect." This refers to the elect of this age. The elect of other ages did not overcome and have a final victory over the devil, but it is written that this elect will achieve this overcoming, not because of any goodness of theirs but because it is God's time to bring all things to their fullness and to bring the battle to an end. This brings us to the final reason why God created marriage:
It was ordained of God that two should become one. The power and the glory of marriage lies in the oneness of two. Any man and woman who achieve oneness between them are well on the way to understanding the oneness of the Body of Christ, and the oneness of God and His Church. Let us look at these verses of Scripture that describe God's heart concerning oneness:
John 17:20-23, "Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word: That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou has loved me."
The oneness described here of Christ and the Church also involves the oneness of the Church and the Church, but it begins in the home. This is the school of oneness; this is where we learn to be one with another person. This is where a man learns to chain his masculine nature and conform to a gentler being who has the other side of the coin that is essential to make it spendable. Oneness cannot be achieved without submission, with the male submitting to the female, as well as the female to the male. Christ submits Himself to the Church. This is the greatest lesson of submission. Many of us cannot fellowship with others, because in our estimation they do not walk correctly in the Lord. We personally find some brethren to be cantankerous and hard to get along with, but think of this—that the Almighty God, Who is Righteousness, condescends to live with us and in us (even when we are sinning), and that He has promised us that He will never leave us or forsake us. The presence of God will automatically destroy sin, and it must be very painful to God to dwell in our wilderness, like the scapegoat of old. It is even more than this. He wants to marry us, and become one with us in a sense and in a way we have not yet experienced.
Our human experience at times takes us to the very threshold of this great spiritual experience. As described by Jesus in John 17, He wants to be one with us, and He wants us to be one with each other and with Him, as He and the Father are one.
Once I asked the Lord to describe to me the mystery of the Trinity. He simply said for me to look at my own being. I am spirit, soul, and body. Each part of me is in a different realm, nevertheless there is no doubt as to the fact that each part is uniquely me, and cannot be separated from each other and still function as man. In the final analysis, spirit must capture soul in an eternal embrace, and soul must claim its body, even if it be disseminated and separated into billions of atoms, and scattered over the universe. Spirit, soul, and body will meet again to dwell eternally together. This is the power of the resurrection.
When man and woman come together in marriage, it is only the beginning, and not by any means the finality of union. They must learn the spirit and the heart of each other, and as they do, the benefits will accrue in a spiritual experience. Some of the experiences in oneness are that one feels the joy or the pain of his/her partner. Even as a mother feels for her child, so does the husband and wife feel for each other. Jesus speaks of us being one with each other and with Himself even as He and the Father are one. In His description to me of the Trinity, I learned that He wants us to be one even as my mind and body are one, or as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one. Married couples in Christ begin to melt into each other—becoming one flesh. They also become one soul and one spirit ("…I in you and you in me"). Then the children become a common union, being part of each, not only in their bodies, but also in their souls (minds) and spirits. They were created in the image of their parents. Adam was the only man created in the image of God, but we all are created in the image of Adam (our father).
Our earthly union, therefore, was designed of God to bring us experientially to understand the heavenly union. God's great desire before the foundation of the world is to create a being through which He could express Himself to His creation. Because of His mighty power, He cannot approach unto His creation, which is yet in an imperfect state.
When He came down on Sinai to talk with the people of Israel, the mountain burned and the rocks melted. The physicist should understand this readily. Light, as pure as man can make it, is the laser beam. This will at present go through steel of more than an inch. However, the laser is a poor light when compared to the glory of God. Thus God must hide Himself from His creation. Jesus Christ as a man was the insulation of God, and in His present form still is.
The Holy Ghost can only dwell in man when he, the man, has received the blood of Jesus Christ. The blood makes a home in the human being for the Spirit to dwell, thus the Spirit does not come in contact with human flesh. Sometimes when the soul is moving into the Holy of Holies it causes the body to quake and convulse, and utterances pour from the lips, while the mind remains inactive.
Sometimes Christ shouts in His temple and drives out the moneychangers. Do you want to be one with Him? Then you are about to lose your self. Your human pride will be the first to go. Of course, as you follow Christ you will be criticized, even as I am for writing the things that I write.
The best way of dying is to have Christ alive in you. A brother once told me that He asked God to make him perfect, and the Lord told him yes, but that first he would have to get rid of all his imperfections. There is a specific time ordained of God to bring man into perfect union with the Father. Revelation 19:7: "Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me. Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb…."
The context to this passage, in Chapter 18 of Revelation, speaks of the destruction of Babylon (the world-system), and also the place that is the center of this system and its glory. It shows an overthrow with violence, and in scriptural contexts it would seem that the violence will not be just natural disasters, but that it is through war and atomic explosions that modernism and all the wickedness of the human world-systems will come to an end. In Chapter 19, we see the heavens rejoicing over the vengeance against the "great whore." This name "great whore" could not refer to a world system, but to a religious system which corrupted the whole earth. Some Bible students say that this is referring to Moslem Islamic religion, but it could not, since it was Roman Catholic Christianity which created Islam, and Islam does not have influence over the whole earth and never will. The destruction of the great whore must be the destruction of the false religion of the churches, led by the Roman Church. Of course, between here and there, we must receive our "white robes," which speaks of the "righteousness of the saints." To get this we must undergo great tribulation and persecution, and we must overcome.
The great event will appear silently as a "thief in the night." The marriage of the Lamb is the infilling of that part of the Body that is ready with the fulness of Christ. In the Day of Atonement, the High Priest will rend the veil between the soul and the spirit of man, and enter into the mansions of his mind, emotions, will, and desires. In that moment we will become like Him, and like Him, our ministry on earth will begin. Then shall the Gospel be preached throughout the whole earth. The forbidden places of the earth will no longer be a barrier to us. Our passports will be stamped "anywhere" so that no government or religion will be able to bar us from preaching the Gospel in their back yards.
The marriage of the lamb must come to us while we are in flesh and blood. The promises of God, that He will walk in us and talk in us have only been fulfilled in Christ Jesus, and only for three and a half years. But God's promises must surely come to pass, so we must be activated by Himself. We will have three and one half years to complete the second half of Daniel's 70th week, and surely it is now about to come to pass.
For further study on this subject, look at Matthew 22 which gives the parable of the marriage of the King's son, and Matthew 25 concerning the five wise and the five foolish virgins. Not all Christians will we included in this marriage. It is only for the elect (the overcomers), and God alone keeps the tab.
We pray that this message has been a blessing to you, that it will drive you to look at your marriage in a different light, and that it will draw you closer to Christ and to God.

ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico — Drinking and driving is no joke, but what a young New Mexico woman did during a field sobriety test is getting national attention. Instead of walking the line, she repeatedly did cartwheels — and, as you might imagine, it backfired.
In the video from February 17th, a police officer says: "We're not doing yoga. I don't know what you're doing. Put your hands down."
But Bryelle Marshall turned a sobriety test into a chance to show off her yoga skills.
"If you continue to do this — I'm going to take this as a refusal to do the field sobriety test," the officer said.
Police said Marshall was seen sleeping in her vehicle near Zuni and Pennsylvania in Albuquerque on February 17th.
According to a criminal complaint, police said she reeked of alcohol, but she told the officer she was "fine" when asked whether she'd been drinking. She had a hard time standing up straight during the field sobriety test, and when the officer tried to have her walk in a straight line, that proved to be a challenge as well.
"Turn around and face me. Your whole body, face me. With your hands down. I don't know what you're doing," the officer said.
What she ended up doing was a cartwheel — followed by another after the officer tried to show her what to do.
"I'll demonstrate it for you. Right foot in front of your left, hands down at your side, not doing somersaults," the officer said.
The officer gave her one more chance to walk in a straight line — warning her not to do another cartwheel.
"Don't do it, because you're going to hit me and I'm going to charge you with a battery," the officer said.
He showed her one last time what she needed to do, but once again, she was unsuccessful.
"When you get to that ninth step, you're going to take your rear foot out…(she hits him). OK, we're done," the officer said.
Marshall was arrested, and charged with aggravated drunken driving, battery for running into an officer during an acrobatic attempt and having an expired license plate.
The Daily Mail reported she was fired from her job as a "Gladiator Girl" for the Duke City Gladiators, the indoor football team in Alburquerque. The job involves promoting the team at community events. The Daily Mail also reported she refused to submit to a blood alcohol test. She spent the night in jail, and was released the following day.

"Financialisation" is an insightful concept when thinking about the modern economy, and how it has changed over the course of the last fifty years. It is something discussed in particular in Greta Krippner's book "Capitalizing on Crisis" (Krippner 2011).
According to Krippner "financialisation" is associated with a post-industrial economy, and means:
"a broad based transformation in which financial activities… have become increasingly dominant… over the last several decades."
(Krippner 2011, p.2)
Krippner outlines an example of this process in practice analysing changes in the US economy from the 1960s to the 2000s. Successive policy changes in response to developments in the real economy led to the highly developed financial economy of the 2000s.
In practice this means the corporations come to rely on increasingly on the income from financial investments for their profits, and less on the return on investment in productive industry. Krippner quotes a 2006 study of the Ford Motor Company generating profit primarily by selling loans to purchase cars rather than from the sales of the cars themselves (Krippner 2011, p.3).
This is a fundamental change in how the economy functions, reducing investment in production as companies instead chase profitable financial investments. The system becomes increasingly disconnected from the 'real' economy and prone to oscillation and crisis. It's a process that Marx touches on in Volume 3 of Capital when he describes 'fictitious capital', speculation, and the credit system. As more money is invested, the banks use it to create more 'fictitious' capital to create more investments and so as the system begins to spiral out of control. It was a process like this which drove asset prices for 'subprime' US real estate to unsustainable levels leading to the global financial crisis of 2007-9.
Michael Roberts takes up a similar theme in his analysis of the economy since 2007. His focus is on how companies need to search for different sources of profit as they try to survive a declining rate of profit overall, something which is a standard part of Marx's analysis of a capitalist economy.
"After 2000, the rate of profit based on net worth remained under the rate against tangible assets for the first time on record, suggesting that the "financial" part of the assets of the capitalist sector became a significant obstacle to the recovery in capital accumulation."
(Roberts 2016, p.122)
"Profit margins for the large companies are near all-time highs and cash reserves have accumulated, but there is little corresponding investment in the real economy; instead, it is in dividends, stock buybacks, and speculation in financial assets—and, of course, a revival of the property markets."
(Roberts 2016, p.144)
There is little doubt that weak productive investment is driving poor 'real world' economic performance. Analysis by the UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purposes suggests that "at the root of the UK's weak economic performance is a low rate of investment".
"The UK banking sector has largely retreated from funding productive activity in the real economy, and is instead focused on financing and trading existing assets."
(MacFarlane 2018)
Krippner's view that individual policy decisions designed to tackle an isolated problem have resulted in long term and fundamental changes to the functioning of the economy also complements David Harvey's view on how capitalism handles crises. For Harvey, building on Marx, capitalism is an inherently unstable system with a number of points where crises can form for different underlying reasons. When a crisis occurs, the response tends to address the immediate short term problem by moving the point of tension elsewhere in the system to re-emerge later.
This is exactly the process that Krippner describes in the US. Policy responses developed in reaction to a present crisis put the economy on the path to the next pinch point and the next crisis, each widening and deepening the influence of finance on the economy as a whole.
"Financialisation" then is a concept that helps the analysis of the modern debt-laden economy both as a response to the tendency of the rate of profit to fall (Roberts) and as a means to avoid an incipient crisis while unintentionally preparing the ground for the next (Harvey).

Hello and welcome to my new post which is about saving handbag space and my new Aspinal Card Holder review! I love Aspinal, it's such a luxury brand and I have some more of their leather products too. I like that you can also have your products personalised which makes them lovely and very special gifts. Just to let you know ~ I purchased this card holder with my own money.
Links marked with an asterix are affiliate links. They indicate that the author receives a small share of sales through the related link at no cost to you.
So this is what I have purchased, it's the Aspinal Slim Credit Card Case*. What I call a card holder! It comes in so many colours, I chose this pale pink colour because I thought it was really summery without being too bright! I also thought it would be a complimentary colour to a lot of my handbags! I was realy torn between this colour and the Orange Lizard*.
I received a brown card holder in a goodie bag from an event last December. It was really nice but brown leather so a bit masculine. I had seen other bloggers using card holders rather than purses online for a while and thought I would use this brown one for a while and if I liked the idea of this instead of a purse then I would treat myself to a new prettier version.
I loved the card holder. I carry around a lot of rubbish in a large tote bag and I used to carry a large purse in there which weighed it down too! I'm still working on de-cluttering my handbag and trying to free up more space but I have to say I LOVE using a card holder. I can't see myself going back to a big purse now. I like that I can have it in a big bag or a small bag or even better, I can just put it in my pocket if I want to nip to the shops!
What I also like about this is that the Slim Credit Card Case* is a really good price point for a luxury brand. Apsinal also do a slightly different style of card case which is more like a wallet (this was a similar style to my brown freebie) called the Double Fold Credit Card Case* I really like this in the aquamarine colour!
I slot some cash in to the middle section of this card holder if I need some, but generally I am a card person – I never carry cash really. I do have a very small fabric change purse that I also carry in my handbag which I mainly just have incase I need some coinage for parking!
I am a convert, I absolutely love this Aspinal card holder! There are two card slots on each side and a pocket in the middle. I usually carry 2 debit cards and 2 credit cards and my driving licence. So one hole has two cards stuffed in it, but it seems to be doing ok!
Have you tried out a card holder yet? Would love to hear your thoughts on these!
Have a look at my other lifestyle posts here!

Why I Decided to Leave Sydney
If you head on over to Vickie's website, you'll find a post detailing her feelings on the matter of friendship and staying in touch. She talks about me quite a bit in it, and I have to say, she's spot on right down the line, both about me and about the rest. I don't feel as though I can let it go without some comments from me as well.
Now, in case you're wondering, this has all come out of a rather dodgy day capped off by an equally disappointing evening. You could say I'm being spiteful. You could be glad I'm opening up. You can dismiss me as having a silly rant. Whatever, just read it first.
For a long time, we've both felt that we were getting short shrift from people we consider friends, especially when we sent them invitations to get-togethers or games. Our messages effectively said, "We like you; we'd like to see you more often." Sure, we accepted the fact that the people we invited all had lives and busy schedules, but the fact that so few of them had the decency to get back to us with even a "Sorry, we can't make it", even after a follow-up or two - not to mention all the no-shows and "Oh, sorry, was it today?"s we got from many of the people who did respond with an affirmative - gave us the message loud and clear: "Rob, Vickie, you're just not worth the effort."
Telling us what a slack bastard / bitch you are is not an excuse, it's an explanation, and not a good one.
So let me give you some explanations myself, ones that soud less like half-baked poetry. Oh, the reasons in that post are definitley valid and true - but I feel that it's high time I gave you the real meat, told you the prime reasons why I - note that, not Vickie, but I - decided to leave Sydney.
Let's crank that good old WABAC Machine up and skip back to May of 2004, a nice, short trip. Grandma, my Dad's Mum, had just died. You may remember that a couple of days later, I made a cryptic mention of bad news coming in threes. The first thing was that letter from the EPA re. good old Madam Lash's smoking exhaust. The second was Gran dying. A few of you already know what the third was, and although I was being cryptic out of respect for privacy, I think there's enough time between now and then, plus it's high time the rest of you know.
A couple of weeks earlier, one of the guys at the office, the one who worked in the other half of my team, Product Management, had reached the end of his six-week notice and left the firm. After finding out the bad news about Grandma, I'd taken Monday off, and got in on Tuesday to be told that this guy, whom I'll admit I didn't know too well but liked nonetheless, had committed suicide.
Now, this took everyone at work by complete surprise. Blindsided us all. Sure, the job was clearly and evidently driving him up the fucking wall. Imagine someone who cannot suffer fools having to surround himself with them, work under them, in order to keep food on the table: he had shakes, regular smoke-o breaks, the whole verging-on-nervous-breakdown works, and somehow none of that prevented him from doing a bang-up job. That was why we figured quitting was the best thing for this guy; it was his first step on the way to a better life. He'd been talking about moving North and doing something entirely non-IT related, and I thought that was what he'd do, we all did. Instead, for reasons known only to himself (and I hope never to know or understand them), he took his own life.
Vickie was working that night, and because money was, as usual, a little on the tight side, she couldn't take the time off, so I called a few mates who kept me company. For their time and generosity, I'm very grateful.
The funeral was huge; most of work and most of his home town turned out for it. I cried. Hell, I cried in the therapy session that work organised for me on the Tuesday I found about what he'd done to himself.
Okay, fast forward a few months. Vickie and I had gotten married. Our honeymoon had been shorter than we'd hoped, and I wasn't looking forward to the day that I'd have to tell Mum & Dad - not because I wasn't proud of what we'd done, but because I was expecting an inevitable shitstorm from my family when I finally told them. Also, we'd been looking around Maitland while we were up there for our honeymoon. We were still entertaining thoughts of buying a place of our own, and the Hunter area seemed like a good place to live and quite possibly work.
Then, barely two weeks after Vickie and I got married, Mum went to bed after a sleepless night and didn't wake up. Because I'd forgotten my mobile, Dad called Vickie, who called my boss Allison, who called me into her office as soon as I got to work. When she mentioned bad news, I thought that both Mum and Dad had gone, simply because I couldn't imagine them not doing anything together. I went straight home, and from there Vickie and I went to Mum & Dad's.
I cried when I saw Mum's body that Friday morning, but I didn't cry at the funeral. I wondered how it was that I could cry publicly for a bloke I'd only known a year or so but not for my own mother. Maybe because I wasn't ready to face it (maybe I'm still not). Maybe I'd cried all my tears that Friday morning. Maybe because three-plus years of treading carefully around my family to avoid getting more shit over Vickie had taken their toll. Maybe it was because, as I told Dad that Christmas, Vickie was there for me, sitting right behind me, while it was just me at my colleague's funeral. Or maybe because Dad had taken an opportunity on the very Friday morning that Mum died to take me aside and have a few choice words with me about my inheritance of the house and the family's opinion of Vickie and I was waiting for him or someone else to decide the best way to deal with their grief was to take more potshots at yours truly. Maybe all of the above.
Hard to believe? I'd say fair enough, but what you don't know is that on that Friday morning, Mum's immediate family made their way to Mum and Dad's, and while most of them were willing to tell me what I should or should not be doing for and around Dad, and how I should or should not do it, not one of them said to me, "Rob, you've just lost your mother, and that must be awful. If you need anything, we're here." (Actually, one of them, on our way out, actually told Vickie, "take care of him".) I actually said "If you need anything, I'm here." to Dad on that day, a few times, and it took him until the family Christmas lunch - after he'd had another few shots at me about lack of interest in pursuing a technician-type IT career and vaious other things - to actually ask me how I'd been doing all this time.
I've skipped ahead a little more than I'd intended. Let me go back again to October. Vickie's birthday was coming up, and I was finally hoping to catch a break after everything that had happened over the last five months, when Dan and Lesley split up. We put Dan up for a few days which turned into almost a week - despite his insistence that he knew he was imposing on us at a tough time (this was a month after Mum's death), I had to nag him to find out whether he'd called his new boss about subsequent accomodation as he'd said he would. He was also rather rude to us during his stay. During that time, I said to Vickie more than once, "Makes you wish we were back in Cairns, doesn't it?"
So Dan finally leaves on the Sunday after Vickie's birthday. I decide to take Monday off for a mental health day. I walk into work Tuesday morning, and Allison called me into her office again. The day before, she'd finally decided that she'd had enough of being overworked, under-recognised, under-rewarded and generally treated like shit by her peers, managers and staff and handed in her notice.
After talking with Allison for a while, I walked straight out the front of the office, called Vickie on my mobile and said, "Guess what? Allison's just quit. ... you know what, I've had it. Let's move to Cairns." If someone as intelligent, dedicated and hard-working as Allison could no longer see a future for herself at that firm, I couldn't see any future for me there or anywhere else in the field in Sydney. I was buggered if I was going to wait until I got ground into the concrete like Allison had been before I decided to quit.
If you've read everything up until now, you'd probably be thinking that Allison quitting was just the last straw, and by God or whoever you do or don't worship you'd be very, very right. Aside from a very few bright spots it had been a miserable six months in Sydney, and I had no hope of it ever getting better. It was time to go, and already having a place of our own up here only sweetened the idea.
(By the way, did any of you know that I was taking advantage of work's Employee Assistance Program and seeing a psychologist every other week after Mum died? The last time I did so I was working for Advantra, and not long after that I decided to take a risk and quit that place with nothing to go on to. Sound familiar?)
Now, I figured I might be missed. Actually, I not-so-secretly hoped for a mass-exodus from Sydney as you guys thought, "Hell, if Rob can't stand it here any more, is there anything that makes staying here worthwhile for me?" and followed us up here. A fond pipe dream, absolutely, never thought it anything but. Still, the worst part of leaving was leaving you all behind. I missed you guys and girls, and still do. Evidently, though, not many of you returned the sentiment.
That town chews people up and spits them out, and if you can't see what you're letting it do to you, and what you're letting yourselves do to each other, then I pity you. No, of course there's no guarantee Cairns won't turn out the same way, but Vickie and I are hanging onto our slice of peace for as long as we damned well can. Recently, I was of the belief that the miracle of modern technology would mean that I could still share some of the fun I enjoyed with a lot of you, but based on tonight and a few weeks ago, given the choice between optimal conditions and not gaming with me, some of you would prefer the latter.
Now you've reached the end of this post, there's only one more thing I want you to know. If you want to get in touch with me about this, no matter what you think or feel or have to say, please do so. You likely have our e-mail addresses, and you probably already have our number. Vickie and I will be home most of tomorrow.

The Breakfast Club meets Pretty Little Liars in Gretchen McNeil's witty and suspenseful novel about four disparate girls who join forces to take revenge on high school bullies and create dangerous enemies for themselves in the process.
Bree, Olivia, Kitty, and Margot have nothing in common—at least that's what they'd like the students and administrators of their elite private school to think. The girls have different goals, different friends, and different lives, but they share one very big secret: They're all members of Don't Get Mad, a secret society that anonymously takes revenge on the school's bullies, mean girls, and tyrannical teachers.
When their latest target ends up dead with a blood-soaked "DGM" card in his hands, the girls realize that they're not as anonymous as they thought—and that someone now wants revenge on them. Soon the clues are piling up, the police are closing in . . . and everyone has something to lose.

It is believed that if you look into the abyss for a long time, the abyss begins to look at you. The same happens to a trader when he/she explores a chart for too long, as he/she may begin to see the patterns, which the chart does not contain at all. In this case a trader misrepresents a real picture presented on the chart and makes unsuccessful transactions.
It may seem that identifying the pattern on the chart is the easiest task. They all are described in books and articles; however sometimes we see only what we want to see. One of the patterns, which has confused a lot of traders is the pattern «head and shoulders» and we will talk about in this article.
Building up a pattern and its operating principles
Head and shoulders is a reversal pattern, which helps to predict further price behavior. Unfortunately, this pattern is formed on the chart not as often as traders expect.
The basic principle of building up this pattern is the formation of three tops, the middle one of which (head) is higher than two others. This pattern shows that both the bulls and the bears had repeatedly tried to take a lead; finally both of them lost strength and as a result the trend has reversed changing direction.
The right shoulder of the pattern represents the last attempt to take over, which was unsuccessful.
The problem is that many traders see this pattern on the chart when it is not there, as it is possible to plot this pattern almost on any part of the chart. It happens that experienced traders can filter out false images, while the beginners take them as real patterns.
In the pattern «head and shoulders», the left shoulder is always slightly below the right one and the head is higher than both of them. You can see this pattern on any timeframe, but a trader shall remember that there are more chances of false image on the lower timeframes.
Entry point
The formation of the pattern «head and shoulders» on the chart is a signal to open a trade. There can be both direct patterns and reverse ones; the patterns giving signals to buy or sell.
The chart above shows a pattern giving a sell signal. In order to determine an entry point a trader shall draw a line from the bottom of the left shoulder to the bottom of the right one. Breakdown of this line is a signal to open a trade.
Our example shows an aggressive signal, as we do not know whether the formation of the pattern has completed or not, as the formation of the right shoulder can continue. For a conservative entry, a trader can wait until the first candle closes under the signal line. At the same time, after the completion of the pattern, the price can jump, that is why if a trader waits for the conservative signal, he/she can miss part of the profit.
Protective orders
It is recommended to place a stop loss stop order on the upper point of the right shoulder and gradually transfer it to the break-even zone. For determining a take-profit point a trader shall count the number of points from the top to the bottom of the head, from the highs to the point from which the right shoulder begins to form.
This number of points is added to the price and this will be the point where we place take-profit order. A trader shall remember that take-profit can be transferred, as well as the stop-loss and the entry points should be determined with the help of other strategies or patterns.

In this post, we are going to discuss about what are the phases available in Scala Compiler in Scala Version 2.11.7.
These phases are different in different Scala Versions. We will take latest version of Scala and look into them now.
Scala Compiler Phases in Scala 2.11.7:
As We know, scalac command is used to compile Scala programs. It is known as Scala Compiler.
We use '-version' option to know the Scala Version.
F:\Training>scalac -version
Scala compiler version 2.11.7 -- Copyright 2002-2013, LAMP/EPFL
In the same way, we can use '-Xshow-phases' option to know the available scalac phases. As shown below, Scala 2.11.7 has total 25 phases.
Each phase is responsible to do one specific functionality. If we observe those phases, the last but one phase is responsible to generate JVM Byte code because before doing this phase scalac does many stuff to add or convert things from Scala components into JVM components.
Please drop me a comment if you like it or have any issues or suggestions.
Thank you.

NAFTA, Eh?
With his new-found oriental psychology manipulations
the American Diplomatic Corps exercise a new
method of intimidating
intermediaries into submission.
Primarily in both Canada and Mexico
as regards re-negotiating the NAFTA.
This agreement has not been in favor of Canada,
which has now filed its grievances to the
NAFTA mediator, WTO,
as regards violations of the agreement
by the United States.
Donald Trump is now using threats of
dismantling the NAFTA if the United States
do not attain a surplus on its trade with Canada.
One does not force another country
to give up its trade advantages!
Little do the Americans know
that the Canadians meet any bluff
with a rebuff.
Canadians are inherently friendly
and will wave at somebody new
who waves at them;
even apologizing for anything they had nothing to do with.
But if there is one thing that friendly Canadians
would rise up against is the threat of being had.
If NAFTA be dismantled, so be it!
Canada is prepared to go with the recourse
that will surely not make
America great again!
Video clips from the Canadian network
will show how Canadians feel
and what they would do
just in case the Americans make a mistake.
