Thanks to a newly (back in March last year!) discovered website, I came across this little item for Spike Milligan's War Diaries, which caused me to promptly log onto trade me to do a search.
The only book on trade me happened to be the first in the series; Adolf Hitler, My Part In His Downfall. Cool. I'll buy it.
And I did.
Trouble is, when it arrived I realised that it was about his training and not the actual war.
What rubbish I thought, ripped off.
And so it collected dust, until Christmas when I had misplaced Christmas In Stalingard. I picked up Spike's book and started reading. What a laugh. It has to be one of the funniest books I've read.
So I set out to see what other books in the series I could pick up on trade me. Nothing.
Nothing until last week when there was a book called Milligan's War - The Selected War Memoirs Of Spike Milligan.
Selected huh? Well after some research I made an educated guess that it would contain condensed versions of all six of his books. Condensed would do me fine.
I used the buy now feature, and today the book arrived. 425 pages of irreverent humour and insights into the war.
Of course, Stu and Aaron might say that you gotta read the full versions, but me, with my limited reading time, I'm always happy with condensed.

Spike's first is his best, fully of whimsy and excitement about heading out for war. The later diaries, being as they involve actual war, tend to get a lot darker with some quite terrible happenings being witnessed my Gunner Milligan.
But even so they're a great read. I can lend you most of the UNcondensed books from my shelves. In fact I feel you should as reading the CONdensed version of anything is tantamount to a crime.

How to Enhance Your Eye Color
Every bride wants to be pampered on her wedding day. We want to look and feel beautiful for the thousands of photos that are to come throughout the day. OK, who's kidding who? We all secretly wish we could have our own personal makeup artist every day!! At least, I do. If I could carryKrissy Vanderwoude, Alex Garcia or Melissa Marshall in my purse, I totally would. I am lucky to get a brush through my hair and a quick swipe with my mascara wand before my crazy day starts. However, I am so blessed to know some of the best in the business and they have agreed to share some tips with my readers.
Today we will start with the fab Krissy V! Here is what she has to share!
a little about me:
I have been working as a makeup artist in Chicago, Northwest Indiana & the surrounding suburbs for more than 13 years. During that time I have been fortunate enough to work with some of the most recognized photographers, agencies, crews and talent. This has allowed me the opportunity to create looks for people of all skin tones, skin types, all ages and ethnicity's. I've been given the chance to do makeup in most areas of the entertainment industry, including T.V.(i.e., The "Jenny Jones" show), print, and video. I specialize in makeup for weddings, which I love because it's an honor to be a part of someone's important day. In addition to all of that, I am a trained and certified MAC artist, as well as a licensed esthetician. I worked at a retail location as a MAC artist for 6 years, and am currently a part of the MAC cosmetics freelancing team. I continue to further my education on a constant basis & am always taking courses that will help me grow as an artist.
enhancing your eye color:
When women have blue eyes, that they would like to make "pop", the best color choices for the eyes would be the following: warm & rich brown tones (with an undertone that reminds you more of milk chocolate, than dark chocolate), gold, & peachy tones. For instance, try MAC's "Samoa Silk" on the lid, with "Saddle" in the crease (for a daytime look) & pop a little "Swiss Chocolate" in the outer corner to kick it up a notch for night time. Use a rich brown eye liner, such as "Costa Riche" or "Teddy" by MAC, and rim the eyes. Finish with a few coats of your favorite black mascara & VOILA!
To make the brown of your eyes come forth and stand out, try using the following: soft grey, silver, black, blue, purple, teal. Try Chanel's "Enigma" or "Smokey Eyes" palette, found here: http://www.chanel.com/en_US/fragrance-beauty/Makeup-Eyeshadow-LES-4-OMBRES-89134?sku=89774 Use a black kohl eyeliner around the lashline & coat the lashes generously with mascara.
Green eyes look absolutely STUNNING & really stand out against the following shadow colors: Any shade of plum or purple will be your best friend if you have green eyes You can also use cranberry or blackberry shades. Some of my favorites are by MAC and are as follows: "Fig 1″, "Sketch", "Twinks", "Star Violet", "Folie". Try using MAC's paintpot in "Painterly" and base out your entire lid, from lashline to brow bone (this is a cream shadow, that also doubles as a primer). Use any of the above shadows mentioned & using the MAC #217 brush, blend the deeper shade into your crease and outer corner. Take a bit of that same deeper color and use a smaller brush to smudge a little under the lower lashline. Choose a nice plum eyeliner, such as MAC's "Permaplum" or "Bordeuxline" & rim the top & bottom lashline. Coat the lashes with black mascara.
Women with hazel eyes, you're in luck! There is pretty much no exclusion to what you can wear & can enjoy a wide spectrum of shadow shades due to many different flecks of colors in the eyes. One of my personal favorite looks to do is a nice rich gold on the lid, such as Urban Decay's "Half Baked". Also use the same gold color as a highlight and dab a bit in the inner corners of the eye (near the tearduct). Then use a rich "red brown" in the crease, such as "Folie" or "Embark" by MAC. Using gel based black eyeliner, such as "Blacktrack" by MAC, and an angled brush, draw a slightly winged liner along your top lashline. I'm a big fan of lots of mascara, so load 'em up!
Thank you Krissy V. Check out her website and schedule your trial today!http://www.krissyv.com/bridal.html

What is Essentialism?
When people think of essentialism (or minimalism) they may think of empty, bare space and nothingness. They may think of bare walls and empty closets. Some may think of tiny houses and sustainable living, or that it is a pointless trend. My favorite definition of essentialism is that it is the art of discerning between external noise and internal voice. The life of an essentialist is about asking this question: How important is this to me?
Though minimalism and essentialism have definitely been trendy words for quite some time, I have an interest in finding out exactly what this kind of living would be like for me. Is it really that easy to just let stuff go? What would this look like in my spiritual life? Would I benefit from essentialism? Would it facilitate growth in my marriage? Would adopting the essentialist's mindset enrich my relationships?
To all of the above, I really think so.
So, I've decided that I'm going to try essentialism.
In efforts to create a path for myself, I've defined what I think essentialism means to me.
The Gospel + Essentialism
When I choose a lifestyle of essentialism as a Christian, I'm choosing to let my identity as a ransomed daughter (John. 1:12; 15:4; Romans 8:14-17; Ephesians 2:1-10) of God be my essence. This identity allows me to believe that my life is redeemed. Through the gospel, Jesus has given me the permission to let go of the shame of everything I've ever screwed up on. He's given me the permission to choose him, to lean in to him, to need him. It doesn't mean that I will never choose wrongly. It doesn't mean that I will never lose control or always breathe every moment with deep purpose. For me, choosing a life of essentialism is choosing to make room in my crowded life for Jesus to really be my authority and the very reason I breathe.
Essentialism is...
An art.
The art of living the essential life is about learning the skill of intentional choice (another word for this is mindfulness.) It's about practicing the freedom to choose well (another word for this is wisdom.) It's about the discipline of joy (another word for this is gratitude.)
A mindset.
The mindset of an essentialist is one of thankfulness. Ann Voskamp is one of my favorite demonstrators of this concept in her book, One Thousand Gifts. She start out by storytelling the reader into her mess of thoughts, her confusion about grace, and her hesitancy to step into the fullness of life. One day she was challenged to make a list of one thousand things that she chooses to be thankful for. This list launched her into an incredible journey of seeing life with both eyes wide open. I love that she chose to be truly thankful in those joyful and painful moments when she let herself see. By choosing a mindset of thankfulness, the essentialist chooses to try and find fullness and meaning in the day-to-day rather than letting his/her joy be extrapolated by the critical voices of dissatisfaction and discontentment.
A lifestyle.
Because the essentialist lifestyle is about discerning between external noise and internal voice, the essentialist will ask questions like:
What is important to me?
What are my values?
What do I find to be beautiful?
How does this beautiful thing add value to my life, to the lives of others?
How does this person/place/thing add value to my understanding of my individual/interpersonal culture?
What truth can I take from this moment?
How will I choose to rest?
A challenge.
The essentialist chooses to ask questions and then chooses to find the answer, even if it takes a while. During this process, essentialism can look like setting healthy emotional, physical, psychological, and relational boundaries. The challenge of the essentialist is to open up life-space to know empowerment, wholeness, freedom, wonder, adventure, truth, honesty, integrity, love and honor.
What do you think?
What's your opinion on essentialism, or minimalism? Do you think that it fits into the Christian life (theology, scripture, relationship, mindset)? If you are an essentialist, how has this mindset impacted you? Were there things you didn't expect?
I'd love to hear your thoughts.

We haven't posted our news for a while so I thought it might be a good time to share an update on what we've been up to that has kept us so busy.
We are delighted to have started work on some of our student coaching contracts. This seems to be an emerging trend that offers an outstanding candidate experience as well as improving the diversity of each cohort. One of our clients plans to offer coaching right at the beginning of the application process by telephone and another just before assessment centre as a face to face session. Both methods offer a fantastic opportunity for candidates and demonstrate a significant investment that they should be recognised for. Award opportunities right there!
Those of you following me on twitter @SRS_Sophie or who are connected to me on LinkedIn can't have failed to spot me sharing updates on our assessment simulations. I'm so proud of these as I see firsthand the positive impact they have on students' knowledge of the process and confidence and then the more tangible effects of students securing graduate level placements and jobs as a result of this. The simulations work best when carried out in a three way partnership with us, the courses and the Careers Service. The university selects which elements of the selection process they wish to replicate and we design materials that are bespoke to the course. Not one of our clients has the same materials. We love designing new materials and are currently working on some new courses within Engineering, Creative Arts and Humanities that are getting our creative juices flowing! The real challenge is executing the delivery on a large scale and we have a really slick operation in place that allows us to see up to 450 students per day at assessment centre. We are always on the look out for employers who would like to assess at these and meet some fab students in a fun environment. I'm also keen to invite university contacts to observe a simulation in action and explore whether it might work at your own institution.
We are preparing for graduate RPO season and will be carrying out the end to end outsourcing process as well as elements of this for different clients. We are always happy to talk to any employer considering outsourcing their delivery. It can be a daunting step to take if you have always carried out your screening in-house and it is vital that you select the correct partner. The key point of outsourcing is to ensure a consistent and high quality experience that would be an extension of your own team. Our associates are top class and we work efficiently to offer your candidates an amazing experience allowing you to get out on campus and shout about your programmes.
I'd love to share our news and updates with you along with the occasional freebie. If that sounds good, sign up to our newsletter here: https://eepurl.com/cLWCuz

Gospel music has the power to emotionally move you regardless of whether you are spiritually inclined or not. The neighborhood of Harlem is renowned for its authentic Gospel music, rooting all the way back to the 17th century. The history of Gospel music in Harlem shines through the culture of this rich neighborhood. Read on to see how it all happened.
Harlem Renaissance
4 Awesome Reasons To Travel Through Harlem
The cultural lines between Harlem and the Upper East and West Sides of Manhattan are getting progressively blurred. While the face of Harlem is changing, the soul food and its fanatics only grow with every new restaurant. The world famous Apollo Theater, Amy Ruth's, and Sylvia's are all classic spots that have contributed to cultivating Harlem as we know it today. New mainstream businesses are opening alongside the mom & pop stores, while several upscale restaurants are taking up 8th Avenue in the southern part of Harlem. There's no special way to narrow down the list of all the extremely interesting things to do and see in Harlem but here are the reasons why you want to check it out!
What To Visit In Harlem: The Best Sights and Attractions
Welcome home to Harlem! Home- evocation of an immediate sense of peace and belonging; which is exactly the feeling you have when stepping foot here. As you likely know, Harlem is a comeback tale of the ages, which has resulted in a surge in visitors in recent years. This tale, coupled with all the exciting and meaningful adventures to be had, is the inspiration for this post. Now lets get right into What To Visit in Harlem!
5 Things You Didn't Know About Gospel in Harlem
In The Fire Next Time, James Baldwin described his Gospel experience in a church of Harlem:
The church was exciting. There is no music like that music, no drama like the drama of the saints rejoicing, the sinners moaning, the tambourines racing, and all those voices coming together and crying Holy unto the Lord – and their cries of "Amen!" and "Hallelujah!" and "Yes, Lord!" and "Praise his name!" and "Preach it brother!" all became equal, wringing wet, singing and dancing, in anguish and rejoicing, at the foot of the altar" (1936)
Gospel music is deeply moving, and erases all differences. We have all heard it, danced to it, sang along… Here are a few facts worth knowing about the history of Gospel in Harlem. Read more
Celebrate Fourth of July in New York
Independence Day referred to as the Fourth of July or July Fourth, is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence 241 years ago on July 4, 1776. The Continental Congress declared that the thirteen American colonies regarded themselves as a new nation: the United States of America, and were no longer part of the British Empire.
Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family reunions, political speeches and ceremonies (in addition to various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States). Independence Day is the National Day of the United States.
What Can I expect from that day?
Independence Day is a national holiday marked by patriotic displays. Similar to other summer-themed events, Independence Day celebrations often take place outdoors. Independence Day is a federal holiday, so all non-essential federal institutions (such as the postal service and federal courts) are closed that day. Many politicians make it a point to appear at a public event as well, in order to praise the nation's heritage, laws, history, society, and its people.
Families often celebrate Independence Day by hosting or attending a picnic or barbecue; many take advantage of the day off and, in some may take a long weekend away to gather with relatives or friends. Decorations are generally colored red, white, and blue, the colors of the American flag. Parades are often held in the morning, before family get-togethers, while fireworks displays occur in the evening after dark at such places as parks, fairgrounds, or town squares.
How to celebrate this exceptional day in New York?
As mentionned above, the majority of New Yorkers will be enjoying the day outside: Central Park is one of the destination for an impromptu picnic with family and friends to later meet again in the evening to see the fireworks. The show starts around 9:00pm on the East River. Brooklyn Bridge and Williamsburg Bridge offer the best view of Manhattan. Also, keep in mind nearly 3 million of spectators are expected so make sure you arrive around 11:00am to score the best spot. If you do not want to wait, I invite you to explore other options to admire the fireworks below.
A wonderful cruise to admire the fireworks !
The 4th of July cruises are very trendy right now in New York. Indeed more and more people embark on board of a small boat to be near the fireworks and celebrate this national event with friends and family, while remaining away from the hurly-burly of New York. The cruise lasts for 5 hours during which you will be able to witness the best perspective of Manhattan and its skyline. To top it all, this escape includes the magic of one of the best DJs of New York. It is one wonderful moment which will remain engraved forever in your memory. If you are hungry or you wish to have a drink, there is a service bar/restaurant available in the boat. To book it, CLICK HERE
An helicopter tour
If sailing is not your thing, maybe you have the heart of a bird and air is for you!? If that's the case, you will be thrilled by this tour which will enable you to enjoy the most exceptional sights of the city. After a takeoff above the Hudson River, you will move right towards the mythical Statue of Liberty and will be able to admire the Empire State Building and other iconic buildings of New York! If you want to make a success of your trip in New York, I strongly advise you o take this tour. To book it, CLICK HERE
If you have any question, do no hesitate to write me on Facebook!

Bengaluru: The pressure of expectations was immense but ace Indian striker and captain Sunil Chhetri said Bengaluru FC did not target history while playing against Johor Darul Ta'zim in a crucial AFC Cup match, here on Wednesday.
The Club eventually created history by becoming the first Indian football club to make it into AFC Cup final after
beating the defending champions 3-1 on Wednesday."I am not in a position to talk about what this win means for Indian football. Before the match, there had been a lot of talk about no Indian club had made it into the finals. But there has been no such talk in our team. We treated this match as any other match," he told reporters.
Replying to a query, Chhetri said the best part about BFC is that it is like a closely knit family and everyone, right from the ball boys to the head coach, wants to work hard and improve. Talking about the coach, Chhetri said all the players have learnt a lot from Albert Roca even as he has a different style of coaching from Ashley Westwood, his predecessor.
Each players executed his plans on the pitch, as the players believe that a team can only win if they implement the coach's ideas, Chhetri said. Chhetri said the team could score three goals because of aggressive style of play.
"The reason we could score as many as three goals is that we played a sheer dominating game. As I had said earlier too, goals comes your way, you only need to keep trying," he said. Roca said it is a great day because India is not just a cricket country any more.
He also praised Chhetri by saying that the Indian striker is a good captain and played a big part in Wednesday's win.

Penn State
Department of Health investigates Penn State mumps cases
The Pennsylvania Department of Health has launched an investigation into several reported cases of mumps on the Penn State University Park campus.
According to a Friday news release, the department is working with University Health Services to investigate both confirmed cases and additional potential cases. Nineteen suspected, probable or confirmed cases have been investigated since Jan. 29, Penn State said Thursday, with four cases confirmed by lab tests.
Two cases of mumps were reported Feb. 13, shortly before the Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon, the CDT reported. Students who developed symptoms were "strongly discouraged" from attending Thon.
"In light of these confirmed mumps cases, and with spring break fast approaching, it is very important for PSU students to avoid sharing food and drinks with others and to monitor their overall health," said Secretary of Health Dr. Karen Murphy. "Students who have been diagnosed with mumps or are experiencing symptoms of the virus should check with PSU Health Services before returning to the State College campus."
Murphy also encouraged all students and visitors to ensure their vaccinations are up to date.
"The Wolf administration is committed to protecting the health of Pennsylvanians, and reminds individuals of all ages of the importance of getting recommended vaccinations," she said.
Symptoms can show up 16 to 18 days after infection. The defining symptom is "tender swollen glands below the ear or along the jawline on one or both sides of the face and neck," a Penn State release said. Other symptoms include headache, fever, tiredness, aching and loss of appetite.
Mumps is routinely addressed with the MMR (measles, mumps and Rubella) vaccine at 12 to 15 months and 4 to 6 years. The MMR has been at the center of some questions raised about a relationship to autism after a British study was published in 1998. The medical journal The Lancet retracted that study as false in 2010, but the controversy has remained.

Isaiah 60:1-6
Reflection—v. 5, 'The abundance of the sea will be brought to you'
Something that I remember from elementary school was a research project about the giant squid. I thought the giant squid was awesome because technically no one has ever seen this creature alive as it lives so deep in the ocean. I realized that the ocean I saw at the beach was just a small portion of the vastly deep sea that sustains life that we can't even see. When Isaiah says the abundance of the seas will be brought to the people of Israel, I can't help but be impressed, and even moved. Too often, I find myself operating from a mindset of lack—I don't give generously because I lack resources, I am stingy with my time because I lack free time, I don't act with boldness because I lack courage. It's in the DNA of our culture to think in terms of lack. But when I think about the God who created the heavens and earth coming to dwell with us, I am moved toward the freedom of abundance. When we operate out of abundance, we can give freely, we can work for justice with full hearts, we can love unconditionally. I see this so clearly at Mercy. For some, it means giving their extra pair of socks to someone with no socks. For others, it means sharing their musical and artistic talents. We share the resources that we have knowing that God sustains us. God's love is as vast and as deep as the sea that houses that giant squid, and in that, there is freedom to love others, not just at Christmas now past but through the entire year.
Prayer: God, do not let our fear of lack hinder our ability to do the work of love and justice.

Have I Committed The Unforgivable Sin?
A reader recently posed the following question:
"I disobeyed the voice of the Holy Spirit after being born again. He was very specific with me, but I didn't want to hear it and I did just the opposite. I haven't felt the presence of God since. I don't believe that I am saved anymore. It's been a lot of years. Is this willful disobedience after knowing the truth of what God wanted me to do a fatal sin? I knew what I was doing. I'm very sorry that I did it and need forgiveness, but I don't know if there is any now.
Three years ago I earnestly sought God on this matter and I felt like He showed me that there was nothing that I could do. His word convicted me of my sin more than ever and I had some very vivid nightmares. I feel like I've come into contact with the God of the O.T. and that would be true if there is no forgiveness through Jesus for me anymore."
I feel your pain. Sometimes things feel completely out of control and hopeless and it can be hard and sometimes it even seems like it is impossible to get out from under those feelings. It is possible that you can't "do anything" that will fix the situation, but God can. This passage in the book of Romans gives us some insight.
Romans 8:28 (KJV)
"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."
We are all called to His purpose. Some accept, others reject, but the calling is still there in all of us. And this passage does not say that all things that happen are good, but that God can make all things work together for good. You have run up against the God of the Old Testament, but He is the same God of the New Testament. The problem is that people see God through a different lens, a distorted lens, in the Old Testament. The truth is that He has expressed is true character through Jesus. He has not changed. He has always been working to fix the brokenness that Adam brought in to the world through his sin.
There is not any other kind of sin than a "Willful Sin". Every sin is a choice to not do something or to do something. When those choices go against God's Word and truth, we end up in sin. All sin is fatal, no matter how great or small it is. Sin is falling short of God's expectation and every one of us do it multiple times every day. The degree of sin is largely irrelevant because if we stand on our own, the consequence of all sin is death.
The problem with the severity of sin is that when sinful activity is accepted as normal, it becomes easier to move to the next "greater" sin. This progression puts more and more space between you and God and creates a gulf of separation between you. The gulf can seem impossible for you to cross to get back to the other side. However, God does not even see a gulf from His side of things. All he sees is a "bridge" across the gulf that He gave to all of us. And it is not a toll bridge, it is a bridge of free passage. That bridge is Jesus Christ.
There is only one sin that is irreversibly fatal and Jesus said that it is the sin of "blasphemy against the Holy Spirit":
Matthew 12:31 (KJV)
"Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men."
But what does this mean? Is the unforgivable blasphemy simply saying something bad?
Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is unforgivable because the Holy Spirit is the sign in the road that says, "The bridge is this way". If you reject the sign that draws you to the bridge, Jesus, then you can't find Him. This amounts to you saying, "God, I don't want your Holy Spirit to talk to me, I don't want to hear what you have to say, I don't want your bridge, I don't want anything to do with you." The rejection of God's free gift is the blasphemy that is unforgivable. If you reject Jesus, you reject the bridge of forgiveness.
But God continues to offer His mercy and forgiveness every day. At any time, you can accept His forgiveness and move on with Him.
Lamentations 3:22-23 (KJV)
22 It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
Guilt is a tool that Satan uses to prevent you from accepting God's forgiveness. An act of sin is forgivable. However the results of the sins that you engage in may not be able to be restored in this life. For example, you can be forgiven for the sin of murder, but nothing will restore the life that was lost. If you become convinced that you cannot be forgiven, you will not accept God's forgiveness for you and you will live on in your guilt. This is not the unforgivable sin of blasphemy; it is your refusal to accept His forgiveness. To be successful we must learn to change that.
Ephesians 4:14-24 (ERV)
14 Then we will no longer be like babies. We will not be people who are always changing like a ship that the waves carry one way and then another. We will not be influenced by every new teaching we hear from people who are trying to deceive us—those who make clever plans and use every kind of trick to fool others into following the wrong way. 15 No, we will speak the truth with love. We will grow to be like Christ in every way. He is the head, 16 and the whole body depends on him. All the parts of the body are joined and held together, with each part doing its own work. This causes the whole body to grow and to be stronger in love.
17 I have something from the Lord to tell you. I warn you: Don't continue living like those who don't believe. Their thoughts are worth nothing. 18 They have no understanding, and they know nothing because they refuse to listen. So they cannot have the life that God gives. 19 They have lost their feeling of shame and use their lives to do what is morally wrong. More and more they want to do all kinds of evil. 20 But that way of life is nothing like what you learned when you came to know Christ. 21 I know that you heard about him, and in him you were taught the truth. Yes, the truth is in Jesus. 22 You were taught to leave your old self. This means that you must stop living the evil way you lived before. That old self gets worse and worse, because people are fooled by the evil they want to do. 23 You must be made new in your hearts and in your thinking. 24 Be that new person who was made to be like God, truly good and pleasing to him.
We have a choice to make that requires a commitment and diligence.
Romans 12:2 (KJV)
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
The mere fact that you continue to seek after God means that you have not rejected Him and He is still offering to obliterate your sins through Jesus. The efforts on our part should be spent in the renewing of our thinking so that our mind can get in line with our spirit and emotionally and intellectually accept God's forgiveness through Jesus Christ.
John 8:31-36 (KJV)
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, "If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
33 They answered him, "We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?"
34 Jesus answered them, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. 36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed."

You can read about more subjects from Ideolatry below.
That's how addictive my sin was and now I am a rag doll already in hell for my crimes against my body and others. Like a Pharisee I prevented myself and others from coming into God's kingdom. A reprobate. I smiled at sex sin and it took over my life. For these types, the anger of God sits because I am my brothers and keeper of myself. I did not love God, but willfully sinned so young (a prostitute). Can Christ have anything to do with a prostitute? The saints say this brings death from which you cannot repent. There is no more substitution for this. No? I thought I could sin "a little" and God is so kind, that he would forgive me, that I would get another chance. That is blasphemy, and I died completely, though I blow air like a dust ghost. I have been in the dark since. There is no room for a little sin. Immoral. The wrath of God is upon sinners like me. A reprobate that smiled at sin because of my flesh. Done, victims. Death to self and others. Blood on my hands. Unwashable, uncleanable. I am a useless blob.We thought we were so cool, so smart. Did God not say ye shall die? Surely, ye shall die.
Dear in The Dark,
There is nothing but flat out rejection of Jesus that you cannot be forgiven for. Your pride stands in the way. Humble yourself, accept the Gift of God through Jesus and accept His forgiveness. He will restore you. But you must let Him do it. Wallowing in your self pity gets you nowhere, but forgiveness lets you move on to the person that God has designed you to be.
There are some "saints" that might reject a sinner, a prostitute, but Jesus did not. He forgave her sins because she came to Him in repentant humility.
You can read the entire account of His interaction in Luke 7:36-50, but here is a synopsis:
"Jesus said to the woman(likely a prostitute), 'Your sins have been forgiven.' The other guests thought, "Who is this man who even forgives sins?" Jesus said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you. Go in peace!"
Accept the Gift of God through Jesus and accept His forgiveness. He will restore you. But you must let Him do it.
If you don't want His love and forgiveness, that is your choice. But it is not Him rejecting you, it is you rejecting Him.
The Truth is that God judges sin and decrees a verdict and a sentence upon it. It is on sin, not you. Through Jesus, God will separate you from your sin as far as East is from West.
The choice is yours, don't put it on God.
"Your ability to sin cannot possibly exceed God's ability to forgive your sin through Jesus."
It is as simple as accepting Jesus Christ as your saviour!
You might consider reading this post: http://ideolatry.com/blog/overcoming-the-guilt-of-sin
it was my reign of terror. not something to laugh at, but warn others about. This is what happens when you deliberately go against God's word. The world laughs but it's a living hell. I want to undo the bad, but it's too late. Like those who die from diseases from immoral behavior, that is me. A warning to others who think they can charge God. Everything is not ok. Endless weeping and gnashing 24/7 because I liked sex (lust of the eyes/pride of life). Hell is being alone forever and never seeing or knowing love because I am/was so selfish, thinking I could do things on my own and be okay.
Weeper, I feel your pain in your words, but Jesus still wants to forgive you. You have until your last breath, but if you accept His forgiveness sooner, He can help you restore your life. Check out these two blog posts

Everyone loves the holidays -- the smells, the turkey, the time with friends and family, and come Christmas, the gifts. Here's a present for you and your family: the gift of avoiding holiday-related insurance claims. From Thanksgiving through New Year's, insurance concerns are usually an afterthought. But many enjoyable aspects of the season also can pose dangers. Consider the following elements -- and their potential for trouble.
So what's the problem? Cooking is the leading cause of residential fires in the U.S., according to the National Fire Protection Association. And the average home fire claim costs $34,306, according to the Insurance Information Institute.
What's the worst that could happen? Check out some common ways holiday cooking can go dreadfully wrong (and we're not even talking about fruitcake):
• Thanksgiving turkey. The unassuming turkey poses one of the largest fire threats, whether you're roasting it in the oven or deep-frying it outside. Because of the length of time it must stay in the oven, you can sometimes forget to pay close attention. And the combination of a big bird and hot oil can be a recipe for disaster. For safety, follow tips for frying the bird.
• Pies and pastries. The combination of sugar, high temperatures and lengthy cooking times should produce sweet treats, not sweaty fires.
• Anything, unattended. The sheer volume of dishes included in typical holiday feasts can mean the cook becomes distracted.
• Overdoing the eggnog. Cooking while impaired is a blaze waiting to happen.
Cooking isn't the only holiday fire threat. Here are some problems associated with turning up the heat and decking the halls.
• Fireplace. Clean your chimney before lighting the first fire of the season. Otherwise, the buildup from past years could cause a chimney fire. Plus, you want it to be clear for Santa.
• Space heaters. Keep them on level surfaces, and never leave the room with one running. Keep flammable items clear of your unit.
• Candles. Keep them away from curtains or other flammable objects. Again, never leave them unattended.
• Christmas trees. That beautiful green tree can turn into a dry piece of kindling. Water it often.
• Christmas lights. Don't overload outlets. Throw away any frayed strands.
Thanksgiving and Christmas both are heavy travel periods. That means the roads and skies -- and even the trains and buses -- will be packed. Be patient, and give yourself plenty of time to get where you're going.
And it's a busy season, but be careful not to drive when you're exhausted. Drowsy driving is nearly as bad as drunken driving. And drunken driving puts you, your passengers and everyone else on the road at risk.
Be prepared for car trouble or inclement weather when you're on the road. Keep an emergency kit in your car, complete with blankets, flashlights, nonperishable food and drink, medications, batteries and other supplies.
If you're throwing a party, remember that you could be held responsible if someone has too much to drink and endangers themselves or others. Social host responsibility laws vary by state. Talk to your insurance agent about the rules where you live and determine whether you have enough liability coverage.
One way to monitor party guests is to require them to hand over their keys as the price of admission. That way you can check them when they leave. Serve nonalcoholic beverages and food to help mute the effects of drinking. Set a last call at least an hour before the party ends. And never serve alcohol to minors.
Thieves can prey on you at least two ways during the holidays: in person and over the Internet.
Keep a close eye on your credit cards -- and your statements. Cyber criminals step up their efforts during the holidays, according to Tenable, an online security company based in Columbia, Md. Particularly vulnerable are public Wi-Fi networks. Experts advise against using them for purchases.
Of course, your gifts remain vulnerable to less sophisticated burglars when the presents are wrapped and under the tree. If you've bought jewelry or some other high-value item, you should make sure it's protected under your home insurance contents coverage.
Remember, that coverage sometimes limits how much a policy will pay out for high-value items. Check with your insurance provider to see whether you should schedule an endorsement for such items.
Also remember to add your new valuables to your home inventory -- a list of possessions in your home. It will help if you need to file a claim for theft or loss from fire or another covered peril.
Follow these tips and you'll reduce the chances of filing a claim during this holiday season. That means you'll avoid trouble and have a (mostly) stress-free time celebrating with family and friends.Arthur Murray writes for Home Insurance.com, an online insurance resource for homeowners and drivers across the country. The HomeInsurance.com blog provides tips and advice on a range of financial topics to help homeowners and homebuyers make educated decisions about insurance.

Congress has approved the Great Wall of Mexico, a 700-mile wall to keep out the illegal aliens and illegal immigrants from the United States of America. This is because our Constitution calls on our Government to Protect the American People from all foreign invaders. Illegal Aliens are foreigners and they are invading by the millions.
Some believe that there maybe 24-million illegal immigrants or illegal aliens in our nation right now. Personally, after looking at all the information and data, I believe that the 24-million number is indeed accurate.
If you will recall many walls between civilizations have been built in human history. The Great Wall of China was such an undertaking of monumental proportions. And where as the Great Wall of Mexico will be a lot less of a structure it will be 700-miles long and it is meant to do the job too.
The Great Wall of Mexico maybe a little late considering the 24-million illegal aliens are already here in the United States and the cost to build this wall is astronomical indeed. It is a major infrastructure project. But will it be enough? It makes you wonder what was the Great Wall of China trying to keep out anyway; illegal entrants or dinosaurs?

text: I have had the privilege of knowing Seth for a long time. He spent many days at our home as he is our son's best friend. When I found out that he was going to marry Bethany I did an engagement session as their gift for them. Little did I know back then that I would also be photographing their wedding! It was such a joy to be there for all of their special days! This past year when I found out they were expecting their first child, I was delighted that I had the chance to photograph their precious son Joel. This little guy was the sweetest and quietest little church mouse ever. Love you guys!

Other than being a sign of the times, this really is a digressive event. The UCC is already a decaying shell of its former beliefs and its admission of a homosexual church simply sinks the ship to even lower depths of religious idiocy. Interestingly enough, the Advocate pegged the UCC as a "mainstream" denomination. Hardly. The UCC has been bleeding heavily since its fanatical push to legitimize homosexual conduct. The COH was hailed as fourth largest church in the UCC. The others are a pair of black churches in Chicago and metro Atlanta, who joined the UCC after abandoning traditional Christan belief over homosexuality. The Chicago church, Trinity, is home to the Democrat's golden boy Barack Obama.
If you are not familiar with Dallas' Cathedral of Hope, it is anything but. Its founder and pastor Michael Piazza was criticized for taking trips to sex clubs in California without his so-called husband and then threw the church into chaos over money and power mongering.

1 cup of flour
1 cup of quick cook oats
2/3 cup of brown sugar
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup of butter, diced
21 oz can of raspberry pie filling
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a pie dish with cooking spray. (I used the little bit of butter left on the wrapper after I used the stick in the crust)
Combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, and baking soda together in a bowl.
Use a pastry cutter to cut in the butter until it resembles a course crumbly mixture.
Measure 1 cup and set aside. Add the remaining mixture to the pie pan and press firmly to the bottom and sides.
Add the raspberry pie filling and smooth out evenly.
I think my pie plate was a little deeper than the one the original poster because my top edges came up higher and browned a little more than I would have liked. Not burnt, just a little browner (is that a word?).
Now we get to the serving part. This was not very successful. The pie filling was just too liquidy (another made-up word?). I let the pie sit for about half an hour while we ate dinner so it wasn't because it was too hot. I don't know what I would do to remedy this for next time. Don't get me wrong, we still ate the pie and it was DELICIOUS. It was just a little difficult to serve and it flowed all over the pie plate like a river.
Any suggestions for a less liquidy filling?

I had an awareness of how transformation really works, recently. The example I always think of is the transformation of the caterpillar into a butterfly. There seems to be no relationship between the two, just an extraordinary miracle that changes a wiggly ,eating everything creature ,into the transcendent brilliance of a butterfly. If you look really hard, you will see links between the two , maybe some markings or a pattern, but its there.
When human beings transform spiritually, the process is one where the person can look back and see a gradual change. There is a process where instead of hating one's life and being judgmental about everything, there is a softening and it all slots into place. You can look back over everything that led to this point and be extremely grateful and appreciative ,of every single thing that happened along the way. What changes is the way you look at your life, your life doesn't do anything different.
The awareness I had, related to my work. I realize I create a transformational process in my drawings. I start off with marks, images etc.. and over time I try different strategies and apply different layers. Along the way I say "I hate this bit of the drawing", "I love this part". When I get to the point where I love and appreciate every part, as necessary ,then the drawing is done, the transformation is complete, a piece of the drawing I may have previously hated now fits in and is in balance. This in a nutshell, is the process of transformation, the real how of transformation remains a mystery to me , its magical. I show one of my sketchbook drawing below.

Motivation Monday – The Way Out Recovery Hour - July 31, 2017/
Host: Bob Sharits
Topic: Motivation Monday
Guests: Melissa Flowers, Counselor, The Way Out Recovery; Brenda Way, Clinical Director, The Way Out Recovery
The Way Out Recovery Hour – July 31, 2017
It's "Motivation Monday" on The Way Out Recovery Hour, Host Bob Sharits is joined by Melissa Flowers and Brenda Way of The Way Out Recovery to talk about how you can make every Monday its own little holiday and use it to prepare for the exciting challenges ahead in the week.
Every day especially on Monday you should reflect and take a moment to appreciate the opportunities you have to help people that come in our lives, to give as much as we can, to interact with as many people as we can and ask for help if we need it, Bob said. And have a great beginning of the week and that will translate to the rest of the week.
Previous Episode: Music & Health With Remo Drums – The Way Out Recovery Hour - July 24, 2017

In this blogpost, I will just mention a couple of items and will get into the details of our script in later blogposts. The script can be divided into different parts. One of these parts involves logging the steps, as you want to know which steps have been successful (or not) and what time this happened. To start logging, you need to pipe the results to a file.
Let's look at the example of writing text output to a file. To do this, we used the "Out-File" command with a variable referring to a file path location. To prevent the results overwriting the previous log, we used the variable "-Append". We also piped a timestamp to the command: to create a record, we used a filter function to create the timestamp and to ensure the timestamp was put in front of the record, we used the " $_" variable. "S_" is the output variable of the placeholder in that command.
The command looks like this:
The result looks like this:
10/3/2018 12:59:34 PM: Start Powershell Installation Script
Sometimes we need to check whether the network connection has been established before the application can be installed. We can do that using the following Powershell command: Test-NetConnection. To ensure that both positive and negative results are logged when we execute this command, we use an If-Else statement.
The complete Powershell command can be found below:
The result looks like this when no external connection is available:
10/3/2018 12:59:34 PM: Start Powershell Installation Script
WARNING: TCP connect to (220.127.116.11 : 80) failed
WARNING: Ping to 220.127.116.11 failed with status: TimedOut
10/3/2018 1:00:11 PM: Network connection failed, please check the Network connection on port 80
10/3/2018 1:00:11 PM: Script halted
When successful the result looks like this:
10/3/2018 1:17:13 PM: Start PowerShell Installation Script
10/3/2018 1:17:14 PM: Network connection successfull
When you want to install software packages, all you need to do is execute the command, but if you want to check first whether the software has already been installed, you will need to create a rule. A simple If-Else statement rule lets you create exceptions for the installation.
To get the status of an installed software package, we used a function to retrieve information from a registry key folder: "HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*"
And to narrow the search results to only "DisplayName", we used a "Select-Object" command. The filtered results let us specify what we want to do with the If-Else statement. The condition ([IntPtr]::Size -eq 4) used after the If statement means that we are checking we are working with the x86 Powershell platform. For conditions on the x64 platform, we use "8" instead of "4"
These PowerShell commands enable us to automate certain parts of VM configuration and software installations and make our life easier. In the next blogpost, I will go into further detail about the other features we used in our PowerShell script.
I would like to thank Michael van Schaik and Varughese Philipose for their involvement in this project. They edited, fine-tuned and tested the scripts.

Super Junior members Lee Teuk, Eun Hyuk, Ye Sung and KangIn were on SBS YaShimManMan 2 aired on 6th July. And leader Lee Teuk said, "Female artistes whom the members think are 'good' become the their women."
He continued, "The woman I like cannot be liked by the other members. They can't call her by her name but have to her call by 'sister-in-law'. KangIn's woman is Jeon JiHyun, Lee Tuek – Han GaIn, Eun Hyuk – Choi JungWon and Ye Sung like Moon Geun Young."
Lee Teuk said, "A while back I met with Han GaIn's father-in-law but I did not do well." and he decided to send Han GaIn a video message, "It's been 8 years since we last met. When time allows, let's have a meal out with Yeon JeongHoon."
Meanwhile, Lee Teuk also reveal that they met each other in the beauty salon, "I hid myself and then escaped out through the door. Once you get eye contact with her, it feels like your heart has stopped. I still cannot forget that look in her eyes."

We recently acquired an HP Officejet 7310 with an apparently common fault. The cartridge carrier has some unusual metal springs in it, which are pushed back and alongside the ink cartridge as you insert it, obviously helping to secure it in one way. These springs appear to be held in via small plastic tabs which can break very easily. This allows the spring to come loose and is then pushed back into the fine copper traces on the flexible PCB at the back of the cartridge carrier, ripping through them and causing an error message along the lines of "check right cartridge" (or left, depending on circumstances).
Our customer needed a replacement right away so the only viable option was to replace it with a new unit. This left us with the broken Officejet. It seemed a shame to throw away this otherwise fully working unit, and not being a fan of arguing with foreign tech-support on the phone for hours on end in order to extract a replacement from someone, I decided to try to resolve the problem myself.
In order to access the cartridge carrier, the machine has to be dismantled pretty much entirely. This is not a difficult process but can be quite tricky, as some screws are hard to access with a normal screwdriver. In some cases I used a socket wrench with a torx bit.
Once you've got to the cartridges, you then need to devise some way to restore the connections to the broken tracks. I first looked at bridging the tear, but once I saw how small the tracks were, the idea went out the window. The following is what I decided upon:
In order to find wire thin enough, I split a small piece of stranded cable from an old PSU, and used one strand to reconnect each of the disconnected pads back to the PCB itself. The plastic was scraped from the back of the pad and then the wire carefully soldered in to place. The other end was soldered directly to the appropriate pad on the green PCB, traced back from the tear. Each of the wires was then secured with a small piece of electrical tape, to prevent shorts and movement which might break the joint.
It works! It turned out that the 3 or 4 hours it took to do this wasn't a complete waste of time – the machine now runs again, but for how long?


text: Johannesburg - Sitting in a sixth-floor boardroom in a building that is along one of the busiest roads in Sandton – with a view of the some of the most expensive properties on the continent – this is where one of the best mergers and acquisitions lawyers on the continent conducts business and plans to plot his grand plan to change and transform the country's legal fraternity for good.In 2014, Peter Tshisevhe was rated the best mergers and acquisitions lawyer in Africa and one of the best in the world by the internationally peer-reviewed Best Lawyer's International listing, in 2015 the Association of Black Securities and Investment Professionals named him the best corporate finance lawyer in the country.The chairperson and co-founder of Tshisevhe Gwina Ratshimbilani Incorporated (TGR Attorneys), Tshisevhe's story is one of rags to riches, but unlike many such tales, his was fuelled by an unusual ambition for the unknown and engineered by exposure."Exposure is everything." This is a mantra Tshisevhe lives by and one that keeps his inquisitive mind flooded with ambitious plans.He admits that being from a very poor family of 11 siblings in the poverty-stricken village of Tshakhuma, he was only exposed to professions such as teaching and nursing, but says he always knew there was something beyond what he was exposed to. "Even without being exposed to doctors, I knew that as much as teaching was the ultimate, there were professions such as doctors beyond teaching, and I knew that that person was more important in terms of stature because it seemed everyone went to them when they were sick. I knew there was more and beyond and that's where I wanted to be. I was not sure exactly where, just somewhere higher," he said of his ambitions as a child.Abject poverty is something Tshisevhe is very familiar with. He owned his first pair of shoes when he was 16 years old."I have always been of the view that the one way out of poverty is through education," he said.He fondly remembers the nickname his mother gave him because of his excellence at school."She gave me the nickname 'Principal' because she saw me in that light and to her it was the highest level, but I had other ideas," he said.Ironically, though he never had ambitions of being a teacher, Tshisevhe subsequently had a 12-year stint as a part-time lecturer at his alma mater, the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits). While being a teacher was never an option for Tshisevhe growing up, law was also not his first choice, but having witnessed the injustices of racism and tribalism as a child, he found himself drawn to the profession of law when later in life he found out about it from a friend.Schooled at Luvhulani and Raluthaga primary schools in the former homeland of Venda, Tshisevhe speaks with pride as he reminisces about going to school under a tree. He went on to matriculate at Mavhungu Andries High School, also in the area, before heading south to Johannesburg where, before enrolling for his BProc degree, he had to upgrade his matric results at a private college.At Wits he found the exposure he had been longing for, and as a disciplined village herdboy, he managed to stay focused on his studies while also working his way up from cleaner to cashier at a supermarket chain store.His tone changes and he flashes a smile when he talks about his student days at Wits. It's an institution he holds very dear, after all, his first legal job was at the Wits Law Clinic after he was offered articles by two prominent lawyers – exploitative offers he refused.In the legal fraternity, he has earned a lot of respect but admits transformation is still a huge issue."We want to be a game-changer, a haven for black excellence," he says about TGR Attorneys, which he co-founded with Sandanathi Gwina and Matodzi Ratshimbilani.Speaking about the sector's current state with regard to briefing patterns that disadvantage black lawyers, the SAA board member said government must start practising what it preaches."Government will talk radical economic transformation and go on and hire a white company to clean," Tshisevhe said.Being one of the best commercial law brains in the country, it's easy to see why he has a good chance of plotting the change the legal sector desperately needs, and it's a mission he readily tackles every day.SUBSCRIBE FOR FREE UPDATE: Get Fin24's top morning business news and opinions in your inbox.

San Francisco is a city known for its rolling hills and iconic architecture. One of the best ways of seeing this unique skyline is from the middle of the Bay on a San Francisco boat tour.
Travelers heading to the infamous prison island in San Francisco make the mistake of thinking the boat to Alcatraz will be the same as San Francisco boat tours. They really are not one in the same.
On Alcatraz day tours, the ferry simply shuttles people to the island and back to mainland. It's only on the Alcatraz night tour will you enjoy a narrated boat tours around the island.
Luckily, just about every San Francisco boat tour will include sailing past Alcatraz Island. In addition, most Bay cruises will cruise beneath the Golden Gate Bridge. And if you're lucky, you'll be able to see McCovey Cove — the famous cove behind the baseball stadium where the Giants play!
We have put together our 10 favorite San Francisco boats to help you choose the right one for your San Francisco itinerary. We'll be taking a look at the best San Francisco boat tours broken up into three categories:

San Francisco Champagne Brunch Cruise
Brunch in San Francisco could be considered a national past-time. San Francisco restaurant Mama's is known for their typical two-three hour lines on Sunday. Which is on par with other well known brunch spots around town!
One of the best kept secrets for avoiding lines at brunch time, is to hop aboard a San Francisco cruise that comes with a champagne brunch! Hornblower Cruises take place aboard the historic California Hornblower and are filled with good eats and even better views.
As fun as their San Francisco dinner cruise can be, it sure does get chilly in the evenings. We find the weather to be much more welcoming during a San Francisco lunch cruise.

Join the only wine tasting Golden Gate Bay cruise in the city for a unique way to see the San Francisco skyline. This San Francisco boat tour is paired with a flight of five wines nearby Sonoma & Napa in Wine Country.

Travelers to San Francisco are surprised to learn there are actually still fishermen (or in Jacky's case, fisherwomen?) at the Wharf. At least not until they stroll past the fishers in their boats trying to entice people walking around the Wharf to hop on board for a San Francisco boat tour!
There is no booking online. No proof of purchase to bring to your tour. You simply call ahead or just show up to the docks on a busy day looking for her boat — The Wacky Jacky.
Blue & Gold Fleet
San Francisco Ferry to Sausalito

This Blue & Gold Ferry is one of the most affordable ways of seeing the San Francisco skyline from the Bay and a scenic way of getting to Sausalito for lunch. If you can, try to time your return ferry to San Francisco for about 30 minutes before sunset for a DIY sunset San Francisco boat tour!
Better yet, grab a San Francisco bike rental with Dylan's Tours to bike the Golden Gate Bridge. Enjoy an afternoon in Sausalito and then catch this scenic ferry from Sausalito to San Francisco. Dylan's Tours Bike Shop is only a few blocks away from the Pier 41 Ferry Terminal in Fisherman's Wharf!
Red & White Fleet
San Francisco Bridge-to-Bridge Cruise
Another great budget option is a San Francisco boat tour with Red & White Fleet. You'll cover more ground than with a commuter ferry. This 90 minute tour will take you along San Francisco's shoreline from Golden Gate Bridge to the Bay Bridge.

Dealing with change
Finding out you or someone you love has cancer brings many changes.
Whether you're newly diagnosed, in active treatment, or are caring for someone with cancer, you will probably need to deal with many practical issues, make tough decisions and cope with a range of emotions.
There are many ways that you can cope. No one can predict exactly how cancer will affect day-to-day life. While you can't control the future, you can think about what changes may happen and how you would deal with them if they arise.
What's the lifetime risk of getting cancer?
The latest Canadian Cancer Statistics report shows about half of Canadians are expected to be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.

Although Clinton is leading at the polls, when it came to Brexit, the day before the referendum there was 48% 'stay' versus 46% 'leave'. And we know what happened there.
So, although the polls give an indication of voting preferences, I'm not going to predict the outcome of the US election. However Donald Trump is doing something that Hilary Clinton is not. And that something is called positioning.
Positioning happens between the left and right ear of people. It is also relative. Victoria Beckham explains the relative nature of positioning wonderfully with her statement "I want to be more famous than Persil Automatic". I think we could all agree that she has succeeded. So to be positioned in the mind of the consumer, you need to have a reference point to an attribute. Preferably one that is relevant and important. Victoria's was fame.
Although Trump's slogan is 'Let's make America great again', he always brings it back to one thing: safety. He addresses the issue from various angles, including job security and national security, and sometimes crosses over into distasteful territory where his comments come across as xenophobic or insulting to minorities. Trump, understanding the power of positioning, clings doggedly to this attribute of safety.
It is surprising that Hilary Clinton has not followed the very successful strategy of her husband during his electioneering, where Bill Clinton reminded his team constantly about where they should steer all dialogue, and it is rumoured that he had a sign up in his campaign office that simple read 'It's the economy stupid'. His campaign revolved around the financial wellbeing of the country's citizens – an issue that was uppermost in people's minds. So not only did he focus on a single-minded positioning, but he chose an issue that people would vote for. And that's what Trump is doing. Hilary on the other hand is coming across as proficient in many areas and runs the danger of contravening the maxim of Leo Burnett: "I can't tell you the secret of success, but I can give you the recipe for failure: try to be all things to all people".
So whether Trump wins or not comes down to basic arithmetic. If more of the electorate consider safety as the primary issue, then he will get more of the votes. If Victoria Beckham can beat Persil Automatic, there's no saying what Trump can do.
