Can you give some instruction on how to form a conclusion for an essay?What purpose should the conclusion serve, and how can I write one?
- print Print
- list Cite
The conclusion should be the best paragraph of the essay. Research shows that the reader will best remember what he reads last; thus, this final paragraph has to be powerful. It is important to remember that this cannot be a replication of what was said in the introduction. The conclusion must be creative.
There are three parts to the conclusion.
First, it must encapsulate the entirety of the essay. You must restate the thesis but it must be fresh. Do not use the same words that were used in writing the thesis in the introduction. The thesis must have evolved into an absolutely clear posture of the position of the essay.
Secondly, the next sentences must ensure that this return to the thesis moves beyond simply reproducing the introduction. The aim is to convince the reader that this essay has covered all the most important arguments about the issue and that the outlook taken in the paper is the best position on the issue. The conclusion provides a bridge to help the readers make the transition by personalizing the argument. Write a sentence or two that shows how this argument applies to the individual reader. Personalize the argument.
The final part of the conclusion must be memorable. Take this opportunity to provide the most thoughtful ending to a paper that deserves a "knock your socks off" ending. Regardless of the topic of the paper, the last sentences must offer a provocative assertion to tie everything all together.
Sometimes, writers will remind the readers of an anecdote from the introduction, but with the intention of completing the story or adding to the point that was made by the story. This would bring the paper "full circle."
You can also use a startling question that leaves the reader thinking. Whatever the writer chooses, it must grab the reader's attention. One excellent way to end is a quotation or story from a famous person.
If the topic were perseverance, the approach to the topic would be the consequences of giving up and not completing a task, and always striving to do the best he can do. Remember the first thing to do is restate the thesis. Then the rest of the conclusion might follow this pattern:
Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragement, and impossibilities: it is this that distinguishes the strong soul from the weak. Calvin Coolidge, an American President used these ideas as his life's creed:
Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
To reiterate, follow this procedure in writing the conclusion of the essay:
- Restate the thesis using completely different words. Make it fresh.
- Write two or three sentences that make the essay personal. Let the reader know that this is important to them. Transition between the thesis statement and the final impressive finale.
- Find a quotation, anecdote, reference to the introduction, startling statistic to finish the essay. Whatever fits the argument must appeal to the emotions (pathos)! The ending of the paper has to make the reader have some kind of palpable response. Show some passion.
Whether you choose to end with emphasis, wit, or wonder, your final sentence should be in some way memorable without departing significantly from the overall tone.
To form a conclusion for an essay, simply wrap up the entire essay into a few sentences. A conclusion is used to finish up your point or subject in your essay. A conclusion serves as the last paragraph that will end your essay. To write one, first write down the last things you would like to say in your essay. Then restate your thesis or the entire point of the essay in a different way.

The other cars dont seem to have any penalty for going through traffic...irritating to be honest.
- A bit unfair. While you're driving like Michael Schumacher, the other racers can go through the traffic like trough warm butter? Ahm, k. Hate it.
- Is there any real reason to get the 1st place? Didn't find any
- The tracks are not that good. Sometimes you have to have damn luck, because you don't see any, what's coming after the hill. I know, in real i won't see it either, but hey: This is a game. I wouldn't race over 200mph through streets with traffic like that ;).
All in all: 3/5.
Like the part when the car goes under the road.

29 Weeks
I really don't feel a whole lot has changed this week. I'm starting to get that crease at the top of my belly by my ribs when I sit, ok... it's there when I'm not sitting too... does anyone else get that? Let's say you all do so I don't feel alone.
Weirdest thing ever that I've been meaning to mention that I've been forgetting for like... 10 weeks... maybe I did mention it, but just in case I haven't... I always sleep on my side or my stomach, pregnant or not. I never sleep on my back, and if I'm pregnant, I can barely even lay on my back for any amount of time. It hurts. Well for months now I have been turning onto my back in my sleep. I wake up and sometimes I feel nauseated or sore from the pressure. It makes no sense too because my belly is so big, seems like it should be weighing me down, but it keeps bobbing up like a fat dead fish. This has never happened before, it's all very mysterious.
I always ask other gestational diabetic moms if they can feel their blood sugar get too high and I never seem to get an answer. I don't know if I come off like "OMG I'm SO healthy that my blood sugar rising nearly sends me to the ER" or if they legitimately handle the sensations of blood converting to syrup better than I do (a Twilight and pancakes joke kinda tried to form and died in my head just now, let's assume it was hilarious). I feel a little jittery, dizzy, nauseous... it's overwhelming and almost panic attack inducing. I want to crawl out of my body. I ended up jogging around the block at 10pm and I eventually felt better. So... no cake on my birthday yesterday! I'm ok with that, who needs cake? My thighs definitely don't.
Didn't gain anything this week, baby was right on in the festive form of an acorn squash! Though... baby feels more like a 20lb turkey.
|Happy Thanksgiving Baby!
|Baby is about 15 inches and 2 1/2lbs.

2017 honorary co-chairs
Aphrodite Salas is an award-winning journalist who has worked across Canada and around the world. She comes to CTV Montreal after hosting her own radio show, and anchoring the 6 o'clock news for Global Quebec. Prior to that, she covered national politics on Parliament Hill for CityTV's Toronto and Vancouver stations.
During her time on the Hill, Aphrodite covered two prime ministers, the merging of the political right and the Liberal party's sponsorship scandal. Aphrodite has also worked as a national correspondent for CTV News in Montreal, and was the network's transportation reporter in Toronto. As an anchor, Aphrodite has been on the desks of CTV's Newsnet, CityTV's cp24 and for two CTV affiliates – CKCO Kitchener and CFQC Saskatoon.
Aphrodite broke into television while working at the Reuters East Africa bureau in Nairobi, Kenya. In a pinch, her bureau chief needed a French-speaking journalist to travel to West Africa and produce a number of short documentaries. Aphrodite ended up traveling through Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso and Ethiopia as part of the assignment. She has also worked in India, England, the United States and sailed around the Pacific Ocean as part of an initiative of the Government of Japan.
Aphrodite holds an Honours BA from the University of Toronto, an MA from Concordia University and a Certificate of Proficiency in French from McGill University. She has taught at the Graduate School of Journalism at the University of Western Ontario and at the Political Science and Journalism departments of Concordia University.
Her industry awards include two RTNDA awards (Central Region and National Categories for Spot News, 2000) and she was part of the team at CityTV when they won the Gemini for best newscast in 2004.
From a young age, Kimberly Lallouz knew she would be building, crafting and creating with her hands. After six years of working in the fashion industry, she followed her entrepreneurial instincts and paired it with her true passion – food. Kimberly's experience working in many of Montreal's finest restaurants and supper clubs exposed her to the food scene and prompted her first-born restaurant, Miss Prêt à Manger. Her cooking is inspired by her travels around the world, meshing yesterday's comfort with today's taste.
Renowned Montreal Chef and acclaimed host of television's 'Les Garden-Partys de Kimberly', Kimberly Lallouz is a long-time supporter of Table of Hope. We are delighted that Kimberly is Honorary Co-Chair for the 2017 edition. Kimberly is the owner of the wonderful restaurants; Bird Bar, Miss Prêt à Manger and Monsieur Restaurant + Bar.

text: My '95 FZJ80 had a noisy, low-boost PS pump at about 100K miles, so I bought a reman from Toyota. A few years later and 40K miles, it too was noisy and lacked boost. Lately, it had gotten a lot worse. Rather than toss another $300 pump at it, I added a partial bottle 'Rislone power steering conditioner' to the system. I added some, let it run, siphoned out the reservoir, etc. until I had added about 6 oz from the 12 oz bottle. The stuff looks 140 wt. gear oil on a cold day - about like honey. It has, however, completely quieted the system and the boost is back. It may dissolve all the lines and seals - we'll see about that. :Princess: is happy now, and that matters some.

Science TEKS 8.6B:
What is the Difference Between Speed, Acceleration and velocity?
Speed is:
- how fast or how slow an object is moving
- a scalar quantity, which is a magnitude measurement only
- measured in distance per time, such as miles per hour (MPH; mi/hr), or kilometers per hour (Km/h)
A speedometer indicates how fast or how slow a vehicle is moving. This is instantaneous speed.
The speedometer shown indicates that the vehicle's speed is O MPH, which means the vehicle is stationary (not moving).
Acceleration is:
- the change in speed in a time period
- measured in speed per time, such as 10 mi/hr/sec, which means the vehicle increases in speed 10 mi/hr for every second of time that passes
Velocity is:
- the displacement of the moving object and its direction
- a vector quantity, meaning it has magnitude (speed) and direction
It is possible to run for 1 minute and have an average velocity of zero. This is because velocity is the total distance from the starting and end position divided by the time it took to make this change in position.

Critics may be questioning the timing of First Lady Michelle Obama's recent trip to Spain with youngest daughter Sasha, but it's not her current schedule that others are concerned about.
For some Democrats, it's whether her calendar is open for campaigning over the next few months leading into the November election.
Because while President Barack Obama's approval ratings have been sinking, the first lady's support has soared and candidates want to tap into that power, Politio reported.
The publication reported:
"We're waiting for direction on what the fall will look like and how this will all evolve' a White House aide said, adding that 'long-term planning' will occur in August while the first family is away.
"It's quite a reversal from the heated 2008 campaign, when Michelle — accused of using a terrorist gesture to fist-bump her husband and famously quoted as saying the campaign made her a proud American 'for the first time in my adult life' — was almost politically toxic."
Recent polls showed that the first lady is enjoying a 55 percent favorable view overall, though Republicans view her negatively 30 to 37 percent. Among Democrats, she has an 82 percent favorable rating.
Obama has been steadfast in promoting her Let's Move! initiative to address childhood obesity and has not been in the political spotlight much.
But if and when the first lady decides to stump, it appears there will be several candidates requesting her support.
"Some have quietly lobbied for the first lady," Politico said. "Rep Deborah Halvorson (D-Ill.) and Democratic Senate candidate Elaine Marshall of North Carolina publicly asked for her. Last week, Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.) shouted it out loud: He'd rather have FLOTUS than POTUS."

Program | Advanced Diploma in Visual Communication
Why Visual Communication?
JOBS! There are plenty! And we're not kidding. Design and Technology can set you up for a career in a wide variety of
Industries such as Fashion, Engineering, architecture, information technology, careers in hospitality and even education.
Graphic Design is a form of art and to get the best results a professional with relevant knowledge in the discipline of layout needed for the project, site, marketing, promotion, typography, print along with the use of color is mandatory.
Design does much more than make your business look great. It is a visual language that communicates your institution's style into a universe of potential customers before you have even met them. It evokes an emotion that makes you memorable in a sea of adversaries. It inspires visitors to action or a visit to your own site.

Program Overview
This Program has been specially designed to match up with Industry Skill level expectation and cutting edge technologies. An Unique blend of creative foundation with Design aesthetics and trending market demands like UI and Visual Design makes it stand apart from regular design programs. Intensive Project-based learning & evaluation makes their study even more practical oriented and helps them to choose their specialized creation during the Portfolio Development. Portfolio development is integrated as a part of this program to help the campus recruitment process and it also serves as a ticket to gain a royal entry in the Design Industry.
Also a student is also exposed to value add workshops as a integral part of the Program. These workshops are again carefully designed to complement their design study and gives them an edge in the actual environment.
Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited.
Imagination encircles the world. | Albert Einstein
If you can imagine it, you can create it. If you can dream it,
you can become it. | William Arthur Ward
Value Addition
Creative Thinking
Creative thinking leads us away from the rules and structure we normally encounter; this can be a mental block on our creativity. "Breaking the rules won't necessarily lead to creative ideas, but it's one avenue. And staying on the same road may eventually lead to a dead end". If we always think vertically, and are not prepared to try a new thinking process, our thoughts will never be generative. Creative thinking is the process which we use when we come up with a new idea. It is the merging of ideas which have not been merged before. A Good idea becomes the base of any great design, advertisement, Film. In this workshop students go through specific case studies of right brain thinking and also participate actively to see it working in whatever they create.
Film Appreciation
Photography, at its best, is a powerful language which speaks to our emotions. It allows us to tell our story and show others our framing of the world around us. Photography allows us to express ourselves through an art form. We notice a beautiful landscape or an old man's lined face and we want to capture it. Photographs can grab our attention and speak directly to our emotions. Nick Ut's photograph of a crying Vietnamese girl whose clothes have been burnt away by napalm embodies the power of a single image. Today Photography has become an Integral part of Design, Advertisement, Web and even the e-commerce Industry. Understanding the concepts of Photography with hands on examples will definitely give an edge while kick-starting a career in the Multimedia Industry.

Harrogate Ladies' College is celebrating success in a national poetry writing competition that has led to 25 pupils seeing their work published in a new book.
The competition, run by Young Writers, invited school children from across the country to compose a poem around the theme of Winter Wonderland. Poems were selected for publication based on perception, imagination, expression and creative use of language.
Winning entries, including 25 from Harrogate Ladies' College have been published in an anthology called Icy Delights. A copy of the book will be kept at the British Library and libraries across the UK, providing lasting record of the winning entries.
Teresa Long, who is an English Teacher at the school and co-ordinated the pupils entries into the competition said:
Creative writing is really important in the development of young people. It helps develop inquisitiveness, encourages pupils to be open to new ideas and possibilities and builds communication skills.
The poems written by the girls were a fabulous demonstration of their creative writing skills and of their ability to express themselves. They should all be really proud of what they've achieved. I hope they enjoy reading their poems in print in years to come!

Immigration and Customs Enforcement made a great noise about busting the fraudulent Tri-Valley University in the San Francisco Bay Area. It arrested dozens, but ignored hundreds more, of the student body, then, after wasting tens of thousands of dollars arresting the fraudulent students, it released all from custody. It even issued work permits to those it arrested. This all despite the fact that ICE claimed that TVU was a fraud from the start.
But, ICE has gone further. It has decided that those students "enrolled" at a fraudulent University can apply for re-instatement and remain in the United States.
Students duped in the Tri-Valley University scam were given some relief on Thursday after ICE officials announced guidelines that may enable them to stay in the U.S. to finish their studies. The students, 95 percent of which were Indian nationals, will not be automatically deported as they initially feared.
Students have three options, according to ICE officials -- but only one of them involves staying to complete their schooling.
One official told TPM: "The first option is to report to ICE to be processed for voluntary departure from the United States." Students that report the ICE before leaving on their own will keep a clean immigration history, which would allow them to potentially return, and they can remain in the country without fear of deportation until their determined departure date.
ICE officials continued: "They may also choose to depart the United States on their own or file for re-instatement with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services." One of the affected students told the Hindustan Times that the last option is a "great opportunity."
Interestingly, the sting performed by immigration officials at TVU in 2010 (which led to the arrest of its founder) involved two students who supposedly lost their student visas and paid the university to renew their visas without attending the school.
ICE has posted an advisory on the Student Exchange and Visitors Information Program website to direct students how to contact an SEVP representative to obtain information about their options.
So, how can aliens unlawfully present get re-instatement. Re-instatement requires that they have a lawful status at some point. However, as ICE has said, TVU was never a valid institute of higher education. It was fraudulent from the start. Therefore, any students were also fraudulent. Fraudulent because they all used two different addresses on their records. Fraudulent because they were given employment authorization immediately on paying their tuition. They had not courses. They had not degree programs. The university was fraud from top to bottom, from start to its untimely finish.
Just another case of ICE wasting money on bogus enforcement.

If you add up the total debt — state, local, the works — every man, woman, and child in this country owes 200 grand (which is rather more than the average Greek does). Every American family owes about three-quarters of a million bucks, or about the budget deficit of Liechtenstein, which has the highest GDP per capita in the world. Which means that HRH Prince Hans-Adam II can afford it rather more easily than Bud and Cindy at 27b Elm Street. In 2009, the Democrats became the first government in the history of the planet to establish annual trillion-dollar deficits as a permanent feature of life. Before the end of Obama's second term, the federal debt alone will hit $20 trillion. That ought to have been the central fact of this election — that Americans are the brokest brokey-broke losers who ever lived, and it's time to do something about it.
The longer the the politicians kick the can down the road, the worse the reckoning will be. We will be more than $20 trillion in debt – or, quite possibly, quite a lot more – in debt by the time Barry is scheduled to leave office.
There will have to be a reckoning. This cannot go on, so eventually, it won't. That's when it will get bad.

I bought a few Partylite products at a Partylite (candle) party and this was one of them/ PartyLite is not known for skincare/bath 'n body - so it was a crap-shoot that I was willing to take because I liked the scent (Acai Berry Mist has a Strong scent of berry (blue/black/acai)), and the formula - being a sugar scrub was not too harsh nor too wimpy.
Not a holy grail and too much money for the quality - but OK. Just OK.

text: I am asking the world community to step up to change the way things are being done. The world can not survive if we keep going the way we are. It is simply not sustainable. We have children, grandchildren, family and friends and we all want the world to be there for future generations. We all have a vested interest. With current worldwide policies of conflict, greed, selfishness, consumerism, and wanton waste, I ask you how is it at all possible that the world will survive or more specifically, how will the human race survive in a manner that is inclusive, fair to all, and not putting one nation's interest over the interests of the world's children? We are one world made up of countries that fight and claw their way up to the economic top regardless of the harm done to the world's children. If a policy is good for my children but harms or kills your child, is that a good policy? From the suffering that is happening here in the United States because of the economy; to the suffering of the people in Haiti still awaiting relief from the earthquake and generations of poverty; to the women and children in the Democratic Republic of the Congo living in terror; to the displaced families of the numerous wars in a world where it is hard to find a place that isn't at war; to the children dying from lack of food; to the people around the world trying to survive after natural disasters; quite simply, we must and can do better. The world must develop new ways of dealing with national issues and policies. Poverty is not the result of any one policy or any one political party. Let's take the shame and blame out of poverty, and focus on fixing the issues and work to end poverty in our lifetime! We must start acting as members of planet Earth first, and secondly as members of our nation; and lastly in our personal interest. I fear that without immediate change, the future will not hold the promise of a better life for my grandchildren. With each breath we all take, a child has died from poverty while we shopped....watched a video... went our way without stopping to honor and remember the child that died because the world ...didn't have enough money to buy that child food? Or ...didn't care? Couldn't be bothered? Or ...because community leaders stole the food out of the child's mouth to fill the bottomless pit of greed? Why haven't we, who all claim compassion and humanity, ended poverty? We must do better for the children of the world.

Bible: Ex 1-12
These 2 are the names 3 of the sons of Israel 4 who entered Egypt – each man with his household 5 entered with Jacob: 1:2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, 1:3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin, 1:4 Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher. 1:5 All the people 6 who were directly descended 7 from Jacob numbered seventy. 8 But Joseph was already in Egypt, 9 1:6 and in time 10 Joseph 11 and his brothers and all that generation died. 1:7 The Israelites, 12 however, 13 were fruitful, increased greatly, multiplied, and became extremely strong, 14 so that the land was filled with them.
1:8 Then a new king, 15 who did not know about 16 Joseph, came to power 17 over Egypt. 1:9 He said 18 to his people, "Look at 19 the Israelite people, more numerous and stronger than we are! 1:10 Come, let's deal wisely 20 with them. Otherwise 21 they will continue to multiply, 22 and if 23 a war breaks out, they will ally themselves with 24 our enemies and fight against us and leave 25 the country."
1:11 So they put foremen 26 over the Israelites 27 to oppress 28 them with hard labor. As a result 29 they built Pithom and Rameses 30 as store cities for Pharaoh. 1:12 But the more the Egyptians 31 oppressed them, the more they multiplied and spread. 32 As a result the Egyptians loathed 33 the Israelites, 1:13 and they 34 made the Israelites serve rigorously. 35 1:14 They made their lives bitter 36 by 37 hard service with mortar and bricks and by all kinds of service 38 in the fields. Every kind of service the Israelites were required to give was rigorous. 39
1:15 The king of Egypt said 40 to the Hebrew midwives, 41 one of whom was named Shiphrah and the other Puah, 42 1:16 43 "When you assist 44 the Hebrew women in childbirth, observe at the delivery: 45 If it is a son, kill him, 46 but if it is a daughter, she may live." 47 1:17 But 48 the midwives feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them; they let the boys live. 49
1:18 Then the king of Egypt summoned 50 the midwives and said to them, "Why have you done this and let the boys live?" 51 1:19 The midwives said to Pharaoh, "Because the Hebrew 52 women are not like the Egyptian women – for the Hebrew women 53 are vigorous; they give birth before the midwife gets to them!" 54 1:20 So God treated the midwives well, 55 and the people multiplied and became very strong. 1:21 And because the midwives feared God, he made 56 households 57 for them.
1:22 Then Pharaoh commanded all his people, "All sons 58 that are born you must throw 59 into the river, but all daughters you may let live." 602:1
The Birth of the Deliverer
A man from the household 62 of Levi married 63 a woman who was a descendant of Levi. 64 2:2 The woman became pregnant 65 and gave birth to a son. When 66 she saw that 67 he was a healthy 68 child, she hid him for three months. 2:3 But when she was no longer able to hide him, she took a papyrus basket 69 for him and sealed it with bitumen and pitch. She put the child in it and set it among the reeds along the edge of the Nile. 70 2:4 His sister stationed herself 71 at a distance to find out 72 what would 73 happen to him.
2:5 Then the daughter of Pharaoh 74 came down to wash herself 75 by the Nile, while her attendants were walking alongside the river, 76 and she saw the basket among the reeds. She sent one of her attendants, 77 took it, 78 2:6 opened it, 79 and saw the child 80 – a boy, 81 crying! 82 – and she felt compassion 83 for him and said, "This is one of the Hebrews' children."
2:7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, "Shall I go and get 84 a nursing woman 85 for you from the Hebrews, so that she may nurse 86 the child for you?" 2:8 Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Yes, do so." 87 So the young girl 88 went and got 89 the child's mother. 90 2:9 Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Take this child 91 and nurse him for me, and I will pay your 92 wages." So the woman took the child and nursed him.
2:10 When the child grew older 93 she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. 94 She named him Moses, saying, "Because I drew him from the water." 952:11
The Presumption of the Deliverer
In those days, 97 when 98 Moses had grown up, he went out to his people 99 and observed 100 their hard labor, and he saw an Egyptian man attacking 101 a Hebrew man, one of his own people. 102 2:12 He looked this way and that 103 and saw that no one was there, 104 and then he attacked 105 the Egyptian and concealed the body 106 in the sand. 2:13 When he went out 107 the next day, 108 there were 109 two Hebrew men fighting. So he said to the one who was in the wrong, 110 "Why are you attacking 111 your fellow Hebrew?" 112
2:14 The man 113 replied, "Who made you a ruler 114 and a judge over us? Are you planning 115 to kill me like you killed that 116 Egyptian?" Then Moses was afraid, thinking, 117 "Surely what I did 118 has become known." 2:15 When Pharaoh heard 119 about this event, 120 he sought to kill Moses. So Moses fled 121 from Pharaoh and settled in the land of Midian, 122 and he settled 123 by a certain well. 124
2:16 Now a priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came and began to draw 125 water 126 and fill 127 the troughs in order to water their father's flock. 2:17 When some 128 shepherds came and drove them away, 129 Moses came up and defended them 130 and then watered their flock. 2:18 So when they came home 131 to their father Reuel, 132 he asked, "Why have you come home so early 133 today?" 2:19 They said, "An Egyptian man rescued us 134 from the shepherds, 135 and he actually 136 drew water for us and watered the flock!" 2:20 He said 137 to his daughters, "So where is he? 138 Why in the world 139 did you leave the man? Call him, so that he may eat 140 a meal 141 with us."
2:21 Moses agreed 142 to stay with the man, and he gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses in marriage. 143 2:22 When she bore 144 a son, Moses 145 named him Gershom, for he said, "I have become a resident foreigner in a foreign land." 1462:23
The Call of the Deliverer
During 148 that long period of time 149 the king of Egypt died, and the Israelites 150 groaned because of the slave labor. They cried out, and their desperate cry 151 because of their slave labor went up to God. 2:24 God heard their groaning, 152 God remembered 153 his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob, 2:25 God saw 154 the Israelites, and God understood…. 155
3:1 Now Moses 156 was shepherding the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the desert 157 and came to the mountain of God, to Horeb. 158 3:2 The angel of the
3:7 The
3:11 Moses said 191 to God, 192 "Who am I, that I should go 193 to Pharaoh, or that I should bring the Israelites out of Egypt?" 3:12 He replied, 194 "Surely I will be with you, 195 and this will be the sign 196 to you that I have sent you: When you bring the people out of Egypt, you and they will serve 197 God on this mountain."
3:13 Moses said 198 to God, "If 199 I go to the Israelites and tell them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' 200 – what should I say 201 to them?"
3:14 God said to Moses, "
3:16 "Go and bring together 207 the elders of Israel and tell them, 'The

You will put these articles on your sons and daughters – thus you will plunder Egypt!" 2294:1

The Return of Moses
So Moses went back 283 to his father-in-law Jethro and said to him, "Let me go, so that I may return 284 to my relatives 285 in Egypt and see 286 if they are still alive." Jethro said to Moses, "Go in peace." 4:19 The

Opposition to the Plan of God
Afterward Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said, "Thus says the
5:6 That same day Pharaoh commanded 335 the slave masters and foremen 336 who were 337 over the people: 338 5:7 "You must no longer 339 give straw to the people for making bricks 340 as before. 341 Let them go 342 and collect straw for themselves. 5:8 But you must require 343 of them the same quota of bricks that they were making before. 344 Do not reduce it, for they are slackers. 345 That is why they are crying, 'Let us go sacrifice to our God.' 5:9 Make the work harder 346 for the men so they will keep at it 347 and pay no attention to lying words!" 348
5:10 So the slave masters of the people and their foremen went to the Israelites and said, 349 "Thus says Pharaoh: 'I am not giving 350 you straw. 5:11 You 351 go get straw for yourselves wherever you can 352 find it, because there will be no reduction at all in your workload.'" 5:12 So the people spread out 353 through all the land of Egypt to collect stubble for straw. 5:13 The slave masters were pressuring 354 them, saying, "Complete 355 your work for each day, just like when there was straw!" 5:14 The Israelite foremen whom Pharaoh's slave masters had set over them were beaten and were asked, 356 "Why did you not complete your requirement for brickmaking as in the past – both yesterday and today?" 3575:15 358
The Israelite foremen went and cried out to Pharaoh, "Why are you treating 359 your servants this way? 5:16 No straw is given to your servants, but we are told, 360 'Make bricks!' Your servants are even 361 being beaten, but the fault 362 is with your people."
5:17 But Pharaoh replied, 363 "You are slackers! Slackers! 364 That is why you are saying, 'Let us go sacrifice to the

6:17 The sons of Gershon, by their families, were Libni and Shimei.

6:24 The sons of Korah were Assir, Elkanah, and Abiasaph. These were the Korahite clans.
6:25 Now Eleazar son of Aaron married one of the daughters of Putiel and she bore him Phinehas.

Tinder: the dangers and delights of mobile app dating
[A guest post by Stephen Rooney]. With the tag line "A fun way to break the ice" and launched initially as an iPhone application in September 2012, Tinder has taken the millennial dating market by storm. Users create a profile with between 1 and 6 of their own Facebook photos, as well as having the opportunity to write a short bio if so desired. Users then select the sex(es) they are interested in meeting, and then set parameters for minimum and maximum age that they are looking to meet (between 18 – 55+), as well as a parameter for distance ('show me people within…. [up to 100] miles'). Tinder then makes suggestions of people who fit within your chosen parameters and whose chosen parameters you also fit within. You then simply swipe right if you like what you see and left if you do not. If both swipe right then both parties are informed of a "match" and a conversation box is enabled.
Whilst the number of active users has not been disclosed by the creators of Tinder, 500 million matches had been completed between the app's inception and December 2013, with this number soaring to 1 billion in the subsequent three months to March this year. Despite an initial reluctance, most people I know have installed the app either out of curiosity or bowing to peer-pressure. These users have provided mixed responses about it, which begs the question: is Tinder a good thing or a bad thing?
Tinder affords users the opportunity to make a judgement call as to whether the person whose profile is in front of them is a person that they would be interested to meet. You make a judgement call based almost exclusively on looks (users may have written a short bio). Desensitisation happens quickly however, as the seeming hyper-abundance of suggestions leads to 'casual swiping'. It is commonplace to see people on public transport nonchalantly (and unabashedly) swiping away. "Yes, no, no, no, yes" racing ruthlessly through suggestions within a matter of seconds.
There is no escaping the fact that despite the popularity of Tinder and indeed the popularity of online dating, there is still a stigma attached to meeting people "through the internet." Whilst this stigma is decreasing as this mode of meeting people becomes more socially accepted (most people either know a couple who met on Tinder or know a person who knows a couple who met on Tinder), there may still be an underlying prejudice that resorting to the virtual is owing to inadequacy in the physical or worse —desperation. I think the truth however, is that far from turning to Tinder 'as a last resort' the majority of users are attracted by intrigue and indeed the simplicity of the app. 'Social proof' also plays an important role in the ever-increasing popularity of Tinder. What was previously anathema is now accepted as mainstream.
For those looking to find that 'special someone' or simply looking to meet a nice, authentic person living nearby, Tinder provides a platform through which to do this. Although there is no substitute for meeting in person, Tinder is a start point. Matches know that there is mutual interest —at least ostensibly— and it becomes quickly apparent what people's intentions are. It has been my experience that some 'matches' do not follow up the match with conversation, although many do seem keen to get beyond superficial niceties. Among users it has become somewhat of an art-form to master the 'opener' or to commence conversation in a unique/interesting way. A common pattern seems to be for matches to want to migrate to 'Whatsapp' or Facebook after an initial exchange (in part, I think, in order to move communication into a more main-stream medium that you are more likely to use with your friends/family).
Whilst few would subscribe to Tinder's other tag line "It's like real life, but better", Tinder may give people who find the "approach" difficult in person a route to a relationship (friendship or romance) that they would not have otherwise been able to have. The drawbacks from making a selection based on appearance are perhaps obvious in that someone whom you meet in person may not be a person who you would have 'swiped right' for on Tinder. Critics would go as far as saying that Tinder is divisive and exclusive as those who are not classically 'good looking' are more likely to be 'discarded'. Isn't it true to say however, that we make these judgements 'in the real world' anyway —if perhaps on a more subconscious level? It is certainly the case that meeting in the flesh allows a more holistic interaction (vocal tone, body language etc.) and avoids the draw-backs of interacting virtually (how many of us have had an argument over a misinterpreted text message or email!).
Surveying the social landscape of today, it seems that turning to online platforms to find love —or even a more surface level connection— can prove to be both fun and effective. People increasingly see their lives integrated with social media. This has transformed the way we communicate, the way we work, the way we travel and shop, and the way we play. Now, it's transforming the way we love.

We are blessed not to have to work with people mandated by the court system to be in counseling. The closest we ever get is evaluating a couple for an adoption or foster care agency. But there is a significant difference. The couple is there because they have a positive goal in mind, even though they may not love the process.
The same might be said of other kinds of counseling clients. I must say that when I entered counseling with Nan my resistance was high. I did not freely choose the counseling at the time, but was "coerced" by her counselor. Outwardly I was compliant, but inwardly I was pretty defended. I have real empathy for people who feel like I did back then. It can be stressful not knowing what to expect or what might be required of you. I like to remind clients that they always have a choice whether to continue.
Now that I counsel, I have a lot of compassion for counselors as well. Working with resistant clients is challenging because even though you envision a positive outcome for them, they may not see it. It's a lot like presenting the Christian faith. You've experienced all the gains, but the other person might only see losses.
The longer I counsel, and the shorter my remaining time to work professionally with people, the more inclined I am to only work with those who actually want to grow and change. Except for grief counseling, which is different, I am less interested in just hearing people complain, with no intention of taking positive action. I think that when venting feelings is the goal, it might be best accomplished with a safe prayer partner who can empathize and encourage. Sometimes we need that until we are ready to take action steps. But the work of counseling is transformation, whether of self or relationship or family or work.
Successful clients understand this. We have found a few things that seem to be common to these clients.
- They do the homework
- They read books relevant to their journey
- They are persistent and hungry for growth
- They listen
- They take constructive criticism seriously
So does this mean that I am not open to hearing complaints? Of course not. Processing pain and discouragement and frustration and fear with people is a staple of counseling. It is a necessary step in order to move beyond those things. It is when the only purpose is to vent or hold someone else's change as the goal that I want to refer a client on to someone else who might work better with them.
Does this sound heartless? I hope not. My deep desire is that people get better, live more satisfying lives, feel safe, receive love and love well in return. I believe that is God's deep desire as well.
Jeremiah 31:3 (NIV)
The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying:
"I have loved you with an everlasting love;
I have drawn you with unfailing kindness."

My MS has kept me here for much longer than I had anticipated. I was still just about walking in 1999, the walking stick appeared in 2000, the wheelchair at the end of 2004, my current daily regime of 9:30 AM-12:00 PM and 6:00 PM-8:00 PM in the wheelchair and the rest of the time in bed, began in 2008.
It's 2015. The MS does have the run of my whole body apart from my neck, shoulders and face. It has been hard at work rewiring my brain so that my memory is little more than a memory to me now. I can picture the past imperfect high-definition but remembering forthcoming dates is a no go area.
"I saw you this morning/you are moving so fast/can't seem to loosen my grip/on the past" sings Leonard Cohen in his sublime, "In My Secret Life" and that just about sums my memory up perfectly.
I'm working on it and constantly check in with my carers, family and friends to make sure that I'm making sense and not completely losing the thread of the conversation. Apparently, I'm doing fine but I'm very aware that I'm clinging on to whatever subject is being discussed by my fingernails.
As my MS has progressed, I have had to get used to handing over control of my body to a variety of carers over the years. My private parts have long been open to the public and I consider them to be areas of outstanding beauty. It took time to not feel embarrassed about having other people wiping my arse but I'm used to it now.
I was having a conversation with my carers about…something or other whilst suspended in my slang some 120 cm above the floor having my usual wiping and realised what it must be like to be a member of the Royal family.
Giving control to other people was never going to be easy for a little control freak like me. But I have learnt a lot about myself as my prolonged stay has afforded me the luxury of giving me time to think.
People don't get time to think because they are too busy out that living their lives. Good luck to them but it really is worth finding time to just think without distraction.
It has taught me a great deal. After the many months of introspection where I forensically examined my inner self with a fine tooth comb and realised that I didn't like me very much, I had to pick myself up, dust myself off and start all over again.
A good friend told me, "You are not responsible for your first thought that you are responsible for your second." It's true. Remember it the next time someone does something that pisses you off. It takes an awful lot of energy to keep an argument going. Why waste it?
So, I've got a bit Zen in my old age but it doesn't stop me getting angry about governments treating people as "collateral damage" in the war against the deficit.
One of my carers is working despite the fact that she has screwed up two of her knee cartilages but she has to keep working because if she doesn't work, she doesn't get paid. Guess who I'll be voting for in the next election. I find myself thinking for the first time in my life that I might not vote Labour but will vote for the Green party. Don't buy all that bollocks about a wasted vote. Unless you are considering voting for the Conservatives or UKIP in which case you need to follow the instructions that I gave at the beginning of this blog.
Guilt. I changed my status from atheist to recovering catholic because during my long period of miserable self examination, I realised that there were still patches of guilt hiding in the crevices. Think about it. Guilt is a faux emotion. We are not born feeling guilty so it's not a natural emotion. We learn it or have it subtly driven into us by our parents or religion.
If anybody turns up here and says, "I had to come to see you because if I felt so guilty about leaving it so long." I would have to reply, "Don't take this the wrong way, but fuck off." Doing something out of guilt is a waste of time and usually walks hand-in-hand with its evil twin, emotional blackmail.
I'm rambling because I'm just going to post this without reviewing it so let me know in the comments section if any of it makes any sense, would you?
On the plus side, I have listened to the unabridged audiobooks of "Wolf Hall" and "Bring Up The Bodies." I love them both. if you are semi literate like me, try reading a book. You'll be surprised because it's really not as bad as everyone makes out.
Finally, a word about Project V from my 2010 blog.She had gained a psychology degree and stayed on at University College London to get a Masters in business economics. She dived into stand-up comedy including hosting a midnight stand-up show in one of the less salubrious areas of Edinburgh where the standard of tackling was usually, "Show us your tits". She went out to Australia and what does she do now? I'll let her explain in her own words.
I now work at Passionfruit the Sensuality Boutique in Melbourne. We're a female run business designed for women with the feel of a hotel lobby rather than the classic neon-porn-cellar. The business was started by Michelle Temminghoff 16 years ago and I've come on board to consult customers in store and give talks and workshops to the medical community. I give talks to cancer surgeons and nurses about why sex is an important topic to talk about to patients and how to do it. I give workshops with spinal rehabilitation clinics on creative ways of 'hacking' sex toys to work with limited mobility. I pretty much give how-to advice and sex toy industry rules-of-thumb to anyone who makes eye contact with me for more than 2 seconds.
That's what I call a life well lived.

Before & After: A Modern Revamp On A Budget
Niamh of Seek Design had a client with a wish to revamp her entire apartment on a budget. Follow me after the jump to see what she was able to whip up in her outdated kitchen…
To cut costs, Niamh painted the kitchen backsplash and cabinets and just replaced handles and knobs. An upper cabinet was removed to give a small open shelving area. The biggest cost was new appliances (isn't that always the case?) and the new tiled floor. Lastly, the addition of modern accessories made for a sweet mod kitchen that will surely be adored for years to come.

Fire displaces 83-year-old man
Published 5:33 pm, Saturday, May 19, 2012
An 83-year-old man and his family say they're grateful for what wasn't lost Saturday when his mobile home went up in flames.
"I'm just glad he was out in the back when it happened," said Maryann Martinez about her father. She lives just a block away and was alerted to the blaze by a neighbor.
Pete Cordova Sr. said he was working in a back shed when he heard a loud pop and looked over to see smoke billowing from his home.
"I saw that smoke, and I started running," he said.
Midland County, Midland Fire Department officials and Northeast Volunteer firefighters were called at 4:33 p.m. to Cordova's home in the 6300 block of East County Road 90.
Black smoke billowed from the top of the mobile home as units were en route and continued spewing from the area for several minutes.
Dale Little, Midland County fire marshal and emergency management coordinator, said it was an "accidental" fire. The specific cause was under investigation Saturday evening, he said.
Five Midland Fire Department units responded to the scene, along with Midland County and the Northeast Volunteer Fire Department, according to MFD.
The fire quickly consumed Cordova's bedroom, which was in the middle of the trailer, and also damaged much of the rest of the structure, officials said.
Cordova said he moved into the trailer a few months ago and had not yet insured it. With the help of firefighters, he was able to retrieve his wallet, keys and a few other items from the home.
His dogs were outside when the fire began.
Midland County's Crisis Intervention Unit staff also responded to the incident to assist Cordova. The fire was contained at 5:50 p.m. Saturday.
Martinez said her dad would be able to stay with her but she is sad he'd lose some independence.
"I'm just thankful that he wasn't in there," she said. "He'll be fine."

No, I don't see why Id want to kill the game to be honest.
I'd actually make it go back to BC style, with current "graphics", the new models, the variety of dungeons and zones, but BC difficulty based so everyone get to raid according to the time/effort they put in. (Yes, yes, yes, it's my old story all over again ;p)
But actually, wtf, I'd go bananas and buy stuff I can't have right now with all that money ;p
F2P? Never, I would rather retire as a CEO even if I was there only for 1 day before I destroy a game by making it F2P.
I think I'd be more concerned about how I got transplanted into a different dude.
