In occupied Kashmir, thousands of people participated in the funeral prayers of a martyred civilian youth, Amir Lone who succumbed to his injuries at Soura Medical Institute in Srinagar, today.
Amir Lone was critically injured in shelling by Indian forces on protesters in Kangan area of Gandarbal district on the 3rd of April. The protests had erupted against the killing of another civilian, Gowhar Ahmad Rather, by the troops, on the same day. Amir was laid to rest at his ancestral graveyard in Kangan amid pro-freedom and anti-India slogans.
The Chairman of All Parties Hurriyat Conference, Syed Ali Gilani addressed the mourners over telephone from his residence in Srinagar. Gilani while paying rich tributes to the martyred youth condemned the surge in civilian killings at the hands of Indian forces in occupied Kashmir. The Hurriyat forum Chairman, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq in his statement expressed grief over the latest killing and said that Kashmiri youth were losing their lives because of stubborn Indian attitude towards the Kashmir dispute.
Meanwhile, the killing of the civilian youth triggered a spontaneous shutdown in Kangan and other adjoining areas of Gandarbal district. A pall of gloom descended on martyr Amir Lone's village as his body reached his village in Kangan. Shopkeepers downed their shutters, while transport came to a halt. Apprehending the protests, the authorities snapped internet services and imposed strict restrictions by massive deployment of the troops in the area.
A protest demonstration was held in Kupwara to demand death penalty to the culprits involved in gang rape and murder of a minor girl in Kathua district. The protesters including women carried placards reading 'Death penalty to the culprits marched on Kupwara streets.
The Jammu and Kashmir Coordination Committee and the Jammu-based victim Muslim Bakarwal community in their statements urged the puppet authorities to transfer the case of rape and murder of the minor girl outside the Jammu region. They said that communal elements were trying to sabotage the legal proceedings.
On the other hand, Iranian Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei while addressing a religious gathering in Tehran expressed the hope that the people of Kashmir would push back their oppressors by their resistance, soon.

3 Counterintuitive Ways Narcissism Is Not a Dark Trait
Subclinical narcissism may reduce stress and depression via mental toughness.
Posted Dec 06, 2018
In 2002, Delroy Paulhus and Kevin Williams published a landmark paper, "The Dark Triad of Personality: Narcissism, Machiavellianism, and Psychopathy," and simultaneously coined a popular catchphrase, "Dark Triad" (DT). This terminology has been widely referenced for almost two decades. After their initial evaluation of Machiavellianism, Subclinical Psychopathy (SP), and Subclinical Narcissism (SN) at the beginning of the 21st century, Paulhus and Williams summed up their findings: "We conclude that the Dark Triad of personalities, as currently measured, are overlapping but distinct constructs."
In the years since Paulhus and Williams first presented their pioneering concept of a "Dark Triad," there's been a wide range of research focused on unearthing specific nuances between the 'overlapping but distinct constructs' of SN, SP, and Machiavellianism.
Most recently, Kostas Papageorgiou, director of the Interdisciplinary Research in Resilience and Cognition Laboratory (InteRRaCt Lab) and lecturer at Queen's University Belfast, published two papers which present a strong case for reconsidering subclinical narcissism as solely a malevolent "dark" trait.
According to recent evidence-based findings from the InteRRaCt Lab, subclinical narcissism associates with three positive effects: (1) More Mental Toughness, (2) Fewer Depressive Symptoms, and (3) Lower Perceived Stress.
On Nov. 1, Papageorgiou and colleagues published a paper, "The Positive Effect of Narcissism on Depressive Symptoms Through Mental Toughness: Narcissism May Be a Dark Trait but It Does Help with Seeing the World Less Grey," in the journal European Psychiatry. On Nov. 15, Papageorgiou et al. published a follow-up paper, "The Bright Side of Dark: Exploring the Positive Effect of Narcissism on Perceived Stress Through Mental Toughness," in the journal Personality and Individual Differences.
As a pair, these November 2018 papers dovetail perfectly and suggest that subclinical narcissism (SN)—which falls within a "normal" range of narcissism and is not synonymous with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)—is linked to higher degrees of Mental Toughness (MT), which seems to facilitate coping better with stress and being less depressed.
What Is Mental Toughness?
In a 2002 paper, "Mental Toughness: The Concept and Its Measurement," Peter Clough of Huddersfield University and colleagues characterized MT as a composite of four interrelated but independent components referred to as "The 4Cs Model" of mental toughness:
- Control (life and emotion): The tendency to feel and act as if one is influential and keep anxieties in check.
- Commitment: The tendency to be deeply involved in pursuing goals despite difficulties that arise.
- Challenge: The tendency to see potential threats as opportunities for self-development and to continue to strive in changing environments.
- Confidence (in abilities and interpersonal): The belief that one is a truly worthwhile person in spite of setbacks, and the ability to push oneself forward in social settings.
Over the past few weeks, I've referenced the latest research by Kostas Papageorgiou and colleagues about the link between mental toughness and SN in three separate Psychology Today blog posts.
My first post, "Narcissism May Have Some Previously Unrecognized Upsides," was a recap of Papageorgiou's recently published research—which pinpointed mental toughness as a key player in facilitating the positive effects associated with SN, such as better academic performance among adolescent students and fewer depressive symptoms.
In two follow-up blog posts, "Don't Believe the Hype! 'Narcissists' Aren't Inherently Evil," and "Have We Underestimated the Harm Caused by Low Self-Esteem?" I looked at Papageorgiou's research on the positive effects of Subclinical Narcissism through the lens of my own life experience and other relevant research on self-esteem. Both of these posts include a first-person narrative that corroborates Papageorgiou et al.'s findings on a link between SN, Mental Toughness, Openness to Experience (OE), improved Challenge/Threat appraisals, and fewer depressive symptoms based on autobiographical anecdotal evidence.
A few days ago, Kostas Papageorgiou reached out to me via email with a friendly note introducing himself. During our subsequent email exchange, Kostas sent me the full PDF of his latest paper from Personality and Individual Differences on the possible link between SN, MT, and lower Perceived Stress (PS). Kostas also kindly offered to answer a few questions about his latest research for Psychology Today readers.
Q&A with Kostas Papageorgiou and Christopher Bergland
Christopher Bergland: In your opinion, what is the most significant takeaway from your recent paper, "The Bright Side of Dark: Exploring the Positive Effect of Narcissism on Perceived Stress Through Mental Toughness," for the general reader?
Kostas Papageorgiou: Our most recent paper builds upon previous work from the InteRRaCt Lab that aims at communicating that it is nonsensical to perceive aspects of human nature (e.g., personality traits) as "pure evil." In this instance, we showed in three studies, that grandiose narcissism may increase mental toughness (one's ability to cope under stress) contributing significantly to lower levels of perceived stress.
Vulnerable narcissism, on the other hand, contributed to higher levels of perceived stress. In a nutshell, human nature is far too complex to be interpreted in a dichotomous way: Narcissism is simply neither bad nor good. Instead of demonizing parts of our personality or feeling guilty about having them, we need to concern ourselves with how to use them adaptively for our own benefit and the benefit of society.
CB: Based on your expertise relating to the adaptive benefits of Subclinical Narcissism (SN), can you elaborate on why narcissism in and of itself is not simply a "malevolent" or dark trait?
KP: Accumulating evidence suggests that narcissism may be somewhat unique among the Dark Traits in that some of its manifestations (e.g., grandiosity) are linked to personally and socially beneficial outcomes. For example, grandiose narcissism is linked to healthy self-esteem. It could be that in certain challenging circumstances narcissism acts as an exaggeration of healthy self-esteem boosting one's confidence to the limits to facilitate the best possible solution to a problem. Indeed, our research has shown that out of the four components of mental toughness, the strongest correlate of narcissism is confidence.
After all, there is no trait that is simply "a malevolent trait" in the same way that there is no trait that is simply "good" or "beneficial." For example, too much openness to experience may not be adaptive for an individual. Personality traits, like narcissism, are the products of evolution and to the extent that they appear at different levels in all humans, they may be adaptive or maladaptive depending on the context. Maybe we can use the terms "bad" or "good" to teach 2-year olds about morality but it is not logical to use such terms to describe our personality.
CB: What research are you currently working on in the InteRRaCt Lab? Does your team have any evidence-based papers in the pipeline for 2019 that may be of interest to Psychology Today readers in the months ahead?
KP: We are currently focusing on three different but interrelated streams of research:
- We explore longitudinally in adults the degree to which narcissism contributes to various outcomes in the areas of psychopathology and education via a number of traits and behaviors, such as mental toughness, engagement with physical activity and music.
- We investigate the role of narcissism within the broader spectrum of human personality. Using a new analytic technique (network analyses), we will soon present findings suggesting that narcissism may be a "bridge" between the prosocial and socially maladjusted side of human personality.
- We aim to understand the factors that contribute to the development of narcissism from childhood to adolescence and into adulthood. As such, we are currently exploring the degree to which parental adverse childhood experiences, personality traits and psychopathology, influence various outcomes, including levels of narcissism, in children and adults.
The main objective of our work is not to rehabilitate narcissists, but rather to contextualize them in a complex web of societal costs and benefits.
CB: Do you have any practical, everyday prescriptive advice for someone who wants to kick-start his or her levels of mental toughness and create an upward spiral of positive effects associated with Subclinical Narcissism?
KP: I have come to the conclusion that, conventional social morality hierarchizes the value of honesty above modesty, when one says something negative about oneself; and modesty above honesty, when one says something positive about oneself. For example, in the absence of any information about my ability to cope with stress, most people would feel comfortable if I was to say that "I am the most fragile person you have ever met." However, they may deem me to be a narcissist if I was to say that "I will survive nuclear destruction, if need be, I am the most resilient person you have ever met." While in both scenarios the response is not modest, there is societal pressure to be modest about one's positive attributes or else, one may be perceived as being "bad," in other words a narcissist.
So my advice would be to explore different domains (see, Openness to Experience) to find out what you are best at, (and when you do), do not succumb to societal pressure to be modest (see narcissism) about your abilities; seek challenge (see mental toughness' component of Challenge) and approach it with confidence (see mental toughness' component of Confidence); perceive change (see mental toughness' component of Change) as an opportunity to grow and ultimately take control of your life (see mental toughness' component of Control) by evaluating rather than blindly accepting societal norms, it is easier than you think.

Aggressive reactions in cats:
Health issues can also make a cat react in unexpected and violent way. If your cat's behavior seems extreme or uncharacteristic, it's probably best to have her checked by your veterinarian. A sudden aggressive response can be the product of a more serious medical problem.
Solving a cat's habit of biting, scratching, and other aggressive behavior can take some time according to your cat's age and the time, effort and attention that you're willing to give. Aggressive reactions are typically more easily changed with younger cats than with older cats. An aggressive reaction can be minimized or eliminated by socializing your kitten as early as possible. Nevertheless, curing a cat's violent response should be done as soon as she reacts this way for the first time. Remember that it is always important to give your cat the attention needed and to take time to play with her on a daily basis. Be aware of your cat's reactions and cut your petting time short when it appears that she tires of being petted and is about to bite or exhibit some other unwanted behavior.

Ready to start gambling online? The difference between gambling online and gambling in a casino is like the difference between night and day. Casinos are designed to distract you from everything except gambling. Drinks are served regularly, people add to the crowd, and the smell and touch of money gets everyone excited. As casino owners know, that leads people to make foolish bets or play foolish hands, all designed to make sure you lose money.
Going online gambling for the split. When you are dealt two of anything (2-2, J-J, 7-7, for example), you have the option to "split' your hand. Splitting a hand means taking those two cards apart, placing a new bet equal to the bet you placed on the hand, and playing each card as a brand-new hand. You'll get one card apiece to make your two new hands, and then have the option to hit, stand, or double down on each new hand.
The chronically indecisive-This man has difficulty in making the smallest of decisions such as what clothes to wear, what to eat for lunch or which route to take to work. Being in a relationship with a chronically indecisive man is a problem for two reasons. Firstly, imagine trying to make joint decisions with this man.Secondly, a man who has difficulty in making decisions generally will also be indecisive about his relationships.

The online poker industry was hit hard and drastically when the three biggest players in the industry had their domain names seized. This sent a shockwave through the industry and millions of poker players were left wondering what happens next. What did happen next was that the three biggest poker rooms soon left the US market and their players were left in limbo. They now had to find a new place to play and their funds were in jeopardy. Although the three poker sites worked out a deal with the Department of Justice to return the players money, no one we have talked to has received any money from them at the time this article was written.
The nail biter-Nail biting is a normal and not uncommon behaviour in children. This may in adults be a sign of inwardly directed aggression or simply a negative habit. The person who is directing his aggression inwards has a problem. This does not apply to all nail biters. However its something that you need to be aware of as passive/aggressive behaviour is difficult to live with.
However, before making up your mind to take up this loan, there are some important reminders for you. You need to keep in mind that the interest rate for this type of loan is much higher than the regular loans. Besides, the late fee charges are extremely high too. Hence, you are reminded to have a proper budget plan so that you can avoid yourself from missed payments or late payments. If not, you will be paying the interest through the nose.
Presently, there is a huge amount of money offered in the internet and as a player you can claim a free poker bankroll at numerous poker rooms. These numbers fully depend on which place you live. It is notable that not all the countries are eligible for all types of offers. However, it is true that most people can claim a handsome amount of cash and play online poker games and win cash prizes. So, if you want a different experience at online gambling or if you want to build a successful career in online poker games, you must go for these free poker sites at the beginning.

Where was Jesus From?
Now on my third attempt, I am on pace for 12 months and holding steady, but today I had to read two days worth to catch up...and I am so glad that I did, or I would have missed this connection in the life of Jesus.
John 7:40-55 tells the story of Jesus teaching the crowds during and after the Feast of Tabernacles with such aplomb that many, who previously rejected him as the Christ began to question whether he might truly be the promised Messiah.
The Pharisees hated and wanted to kill Jesus, and they responded, "How can the Christ come from Galilee? Does not the Scripture say that the Christ will come from David's family and from Bethlehem, the town where David lived?" Israel's teachers had the wrong information, which they used to form a bad conclusion, and they missed the promised Messiah. When the temple guards returned without apprehending Jesus as ordered by the priests, the guards explained that they agreed with the teachings of Jesus. The Pharisees vainly chided them with "You mean he has deceived you also? Has any of the rulers or the Pharisees believed in him? No!" Bad information and pride in their place of authority caused these men to miss out on salvation in Christ.
In the following chapter, Jesus answers the same critics in a separate conversation with the remarks, "Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I am going. But you have no idea where I come from or where I am going." He was able to say this with both spiritual and physical meaning. They rejected his divinity and ultimate source because they refused to believe that he could have been born in Bethlehem.
I thought that in an of itself was a remarkable link in the scriptures and was glad I read them both on the same day, even though I was scheduled to read them on separate days. But I've got even more to share. If you'll bear with me a few more paragraphs, I've got an application of this for today's culture.
The dominant paradigm of thought today is that evolution can explain the appearance and culmination of organisms...all without the interaction of the loving God of the Bible. Many Christians have tried to compromise the obvious teaching of scripture regarding origins by declaring Genesis a myth and accepting materialistic explanations. In my analogy, we'll compare these compromising Christians to the Pharisees. Bad information leads to bad conclusions. The Pharisees missed the Messiah, and the current compromising Christians are missing out on the joy of trusting God's Word as completely true. They are also missing out of the cohesive nature of scripture and how it is internally consistent.
Like the Pharisees, who mocked the temple guards, they regard the contemporary high priests (evolutionary scientists) as infallible and mock anyone who would actually believe the Genesis account to be true. The evolutionary scientists shout the mantra, "Are there any REAL scientists who doubt evolution to be true?" They have so much knowledge and training, but like the Pharisees, they are unable to see the truth because of bad information which has led them to bad conclusions.
Praise God for His written Word! Don't miss the truth of scripture because high priests of today are worshiping at the altar of Darwinism and mocking those who believe God's Word to be true.

When I turned 30, I decided for my 40th birthday I would go to Paris. My husband and I saved and worked towards this trip. We planned it for years. When 40 came it looked as though it might not happen. The hubby couldn't get the days off and we didn't quite have enough saved up. But the next year, for our 20th anniversary we made it happen. And here are the highlights!
Here is the quaint Parisian neighborhood where we stayed. I seriously recommend this hotel. Le Grand Hotel Leveque. The room was small but more than adequate. It was in this perfect little neighborhood with many amenities. There were cafes and restaurants everywhere, shops and it was even a block away from the metro. It truly was perfect!
We loved our temporary neighborhood. So close to cafes, bakeries, shops and the Eiffel Tower 🙂
On our first day in Paris we, of course, headed to the Eiffel Tower. Then we walked over to the Arc de Triomphe and ended at La Cathedrale de Notre Dame.
Day two in Paris: Museums – Orangerie, Tuileries and the Louvre~And Eiffel Tower at Sunset 🙂
Then ending the day with a sunset trip to the Eiffel Tower. I will never tire of it. I did, however, get very tired of the dudes selling all. the. things!
Our next day in Paris was spent in Monmartre, the artist district of Paris. Kind of at the top of the city. The Sacre Coeur sits at the top of a hill, overlooking the entire city. Visiting the Sacre Coeur was another bucket list item for me!
On the way back we stopped by the Moulin Rouge. We didn't go inside because I heard it's such a tourist trap. You can easily spend $100+ on dinner and a show. We were all good to just see it from the outside.
And last but not least, we checked out the Opera on the way back to our hotel.
So that was Paris! Check back to see our adventures in London and Marseille!!

Bread Victories!
Even when something I make isn't quite worth sharing, it's usually edible. My first loaf of bread was NOT.
I've done a lot of bread since then. I've kneaded bread. I've not kneaded bread. I have bought unbleached white flour, whole wheat flour, spelt, rye, bread flour. I own a box of gluten, and buy my yeast by the pound. Challah, brioche, Cinnamon bread, Dill bread, Sticky Buns, Pretzels…
I can't say I've got whole wheat down the way I would like to yet. But it's edible these days. I still don't know what happened the first time around, but I have put it behind me. The only thing I still muck up sometimes is when I take the bread out too early, which I don't do assuming I can find the probe thermometer!
Mostly these days, I'm making dough for several loaves at a time, and not kneading, thanks to Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day. It's so convenient–I stir together some ingredients, let it sit on the counter a couple hours, and then shove it in the fridge. Then when I want bread, I take out however much dough I want, shape it, let it rise, and pop it into the oven. It's perfect for having two of us– we end up having fresh bread all the time, instead of eating half of a large-ish loaf, and then trying to find something to do with the second half before it gets too stale. The original recipe, as linked, has you use a fourth of the dough at one time, I've upped it to a third. It's so flexible– I can make anything from bread to calzones with it– although, to be honest, the Alton Brown overnight pizza dough recipe is much better for shaping into pizza or calzone shapes. And it's so easy to do that even my mother, who hates anything to do with baking, will make this bread.
I can now make a nice loaf of kneaded dough without worrying about it all that much. But I usually don't. Even if you outsource the kneading to a bread machine, stand mixer, or food processor, you still have to be near it. I enjoy it sometimes, especially if I only want one loaf of something. But having a bowl full of bread dough in my fridge is so convenient.
In any case, that's what I've spent most of my baking time doing for almost the past year and a half! Dough, dough, and more dough. It's been a huge learning experience. There are some great tips at Smitten Kitchen. But mostly I'm happy to keep learning at this point.

Huh! I'm interested to hear this. I was pretty unimpressed with _Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day_. First, if you actually follow their instructions, 5 min/day is a big underestimate—just getting out the pizza peel, bin of water, etc. takes more than 5 min. And actually adding up the time, from getting out ingredients to eating bread, only 1/2 hr is saved over traditional bread recipes. Then, I found that refrigerating the dough made it stickier and more difficult to handle, and loaves baked from the fridge had poor shape and consistency. Finally, their recipe made super-salty bread—so salty I could barely eat it!
I have modified their recipe and simplified the process so that it works well for me, and takes a bit less time than my traditional bread recipe (hey, only 3/4 as many ingredients!). Let me know if you want either of my versions, though of course a KitchenAid is required for both.

Spent a few hours online looking for maps with not much luck. Right before I was headed to bed I thought about my finder on the boat. Good news! (Image removed from quote.)
I do the same thing all the time. I pull the Helix 10 out of the boat and play with it while I am sitting on the couch (use the power cord from my 386 ice portable unit to start it up). That gives me the option to edit waypoints routes etc while in comfort while watching the game lol. My wife just shakes her head and says I have a problem but you guys get it.Also we have tentatively penciled in that weekend to be in Cascade ourselves (My wife and I, a buddy and his wife and possibly one more) so we will most likely stop by and fish with you all for a while at least. We will be staying pretty much directly across the lake from you all and hopefully the ice will be good enough that we will be running around on our sleds.

SPIRREALISM … a movement
when the charismatic THOMAS MERTON came to the stage of religious life, he ignited something many call new age. there are some catholics that have expressed that they 'think' SPIRREALISM is new age, and find themselves dismissing its candor. huh … interesting, given their idolatrous nature regarding pope francis of the jesuits. no, SPIRREALISM is definitely not new age. and the church spoken of in the Writings is not roman catholicism, islam, pentecostalism … or any other ism, isl, caliphate operation or creed of universalist design. we speak in the tablets of the heart … not the warring nations derisive in fielding fable and font.
From → Uncategorized
on the matter of pope fran's words ..
there is no need for discussion on these theoretical issues. we are known or we are not known by the LIVING GOD. Spirit is not an abrahamic religion and if pope was of the Spirit of the Most High, he would know this … as his COMMUNION of Spirit would tell him this. if one believes in God is SPIRIT and of worship in Spirit and IN TRUTH, there is no question on the matter of religious theory. God is not religious theory. God is not idolatrous venue, doctrine, ideology, nor is {this} of partiality … and no matter how you try to defend your dogma, you are known by Spirit of the Living God or you are not known. the pope of the rcc should know this if he is within Spirit of {this}, and would never confuse Spirit with religion's gods or the gods of others. what is his channel? deception? this is not to say that people in virginal stream not bound by histrionics of religious sequestering but also not of understanding due to forced inheritance are without Spirit led inspirations … but do understand that man making religion (its dogma) his god, whether politics, religious (both) or other methods, navigating by way of ink, creed, doctrine and titles, entitlement within ordinations manmade, bound by these …. are usually unaware … in Light. they know not what they do … to put it mildly. today we are MOVING EAST in that we are OF the EAST
the four corners of the sheet in Peter's vision (ACTS) prophesy {this}. do you catholics not know the Word? ah, yes … you are bound by roman catholic creed and baptism. oh well.
And Elijah came to all the people, and said, How long halt you between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
pope, catholic and those of you confused on what is SPIRIT …
did you think THE WORD WAS GOD started as an abrahamic religion? or as roman catholic religion? or as islamic religion? do you not know WHAT IS THE WORD?
nice commentary
I am who I am ;D … as a gnostic the who is a what. like, "what is GOD" because it refrains more in the "we" and this is nuanced in the partnering in Spirit. maybe this is the difference between the jew of the Writing and the gentile 🙂
you see, there is a point where one moves from I am who I am to I am 'what' I am to "I AM"…
christians do not even get this … understand "what is {this} —it is … a place
once one begins movement within this stream, one begins to understand what is the heaven(s) … what is the Christ … what is GOD … what is Spirit … as one begins to move closer to his Spirit ID (his humanity—his Angel—his guardian, if you will). Spirit exists, folks, both good and evil. man cannot force Spirit of the Living God and say a baptism done through his religion or a chrismation or a taking of communion … or confession or priest, pastor, rabbi … is necessary for communion in the Spirit, or to go to "heaven". this is all manmade decrees. if people are known within the One, there is not the forced systems and the violence you see today. there is not partiality … hypocrisy begins to fade as Light shows {this} redeeming face. this does not mean there is no war. there is spiritual warfare … to move. Spirit battles spirit unseen by man.
we could pair the nt with the ot in the return but we must wait until man moves. he is not prepared … this tongue is not understood by him and his colleagues.
traditions are fine if these are not lessening the worth of what is necessary to become. if not placing one as second class citizen … or where hypocrisy rides the coats of ignorance. hiding crimes does not teach truth. partiality does not determine worth in the One.
I shared that I heard Archangel Raphael first. Raphael is indeed archangel of healing and the work I am entrusted with is with Healing. but the knowledge comes in small steps … like a child learning to walk … to the woman as she learns to seed—to harvest … to dine within drink then solid food. I then engaged with Andradimus (recipient of Raphael) as Andradimus is my guardian … but "I am" becomes in Arkimnel (Angel of Prophesy) as we are One … in this Day.
Elijah is SPIRIT metaphor for continuance. "my GOD is Yahweh" is saying my GOD IS … my God is becoming… my God is movement-moving … Being.
121 women and children …
reason for keeping them in view:
their own safety
many of these women and children become victims through their own people. the men find them and use them illicitly.
but ankle shackles? deportation through dishonesty? 121 women and children … in big atlanta with all those bustling churches, and these communities cannot find a way to bring them into their fold?
if you read demetrios constantelos' paper on the early church … you see where the early 'christians' brought the destitute into their homes. very often to have struggling aunt, grandmothers or an older brother or an uncle take in women and children there is a continued disconnect for these newcomers to find viable means of survival. these become dependent on aunt or brother for all their needs and where there is children, the need is great … and women are often raped and sexually exploited, even children raped and trafficked … if there is not a safe guardian seeing to the entry into a new life. it is better for others to take in these women and children to help them acclimate and to see that they receive what they need. churches can afford this … that is what these should be for.
and not to bring in hundreds of thousands of refugees as this becomes overbearing to all communities and no problems are solved … but to deal with what is already in our midst.
i mean, you know what will happen to them when they go back to their own countries. are their religious helping them or are they busy signing autographs and brewing beer? one cannot live by beer alone—-right? esp not women and children …. so, CHRISTIANS, let's see WHAT you got!
this is where we will see 'who' expects the government (through taxpayer $)to pay while taking all the credit and who rallies within its own church community/community without demanding the 'government' give them …
okay, big day for a lot of people.
pope is cranking on the priests and nuns 😉 … good for him, but the gossip thing is a bit sketchy. it's not gossip he should be worried about … something' much bigger … sex-sex-sex-sex-sex-sex that they are not confessing and you, pope dear, need to be up front about them there hypocrites. cannot say one thing and do another. this makes that "anarchy" you speak about quite itchy.
now, the IO uzzz. hmm, to bee or not to bee … that is the question …
tight race between bernie and hillary, but we see bernie coming out ahead.
as for the republican side … we see disarray. not seeing or hearing on this … yet.
now, on the demos side … bernie taking the lead will cause the demo party to go dirty. this is what I see. watch/listen for much trumped up accusation …
then we will gain a clearer understanding of that 'methodist' method …
what i am hearing is that one of the republican candidates needs to break from the 'religious' pack that he can be 'comparative' to bernie.
yes, movement … both camps (two daughters?)
this is what we would see. stagnancy is only seen in hindsight.
remember the story of lot's wife?
do not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. escape to the mountains, lest you be overtaken ……..
but his wife looked back behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
so … what does this teach us? the looking back in this illustration is saying, do not tempt the devil … do not tempt wickedness. in other words, do not retreat to the old mindset when you have started to move. take up what is within and follow the star of bethlehem to the life higher of the heavens. the salt is a formation dealing with truth. a pillar is a lesson on fabled systems, temporal living.
but man feared for his life and did what? stationed his camp in the city of zoar.
smallness … one begins again as a child.
Mark Silk Post author Feb 2, 2016 at 7:34 am
Thanks, Ira? Just shows the value of sitting in your ivory tower contemplating your navel.
– See more at: http://marksilk.religionnews.com/2016/02/01/iowa-predictions-cruz-and-sanders/#sthash.NPsn9mzA.dpuf
and where is my post to your commenter? gone with the wind 😉
no, silk man… you are an old road … padding your successes, but can you see the wider vision? no, you cannot while contemplating your navel in that politically professorial role … as you will soon see. one candidate has yet to play his cards. put that in your pipe and woof it.
bernie will move ahead as we said … and the recent win for cruz to us is not a win because he has not grown (not moved). how hard is this to see? 😀 and we did say there are many not waking …
what do you wish to know? the big picture or state by state monies? if you desire silk's pope mantra (his spiritual politics of ivory tower naval gazing) or … do you desire ascending the heart to the mind where you can forego the war path … know the deception without having lost your virginity to caliphate organizations and hiding of abuses, corruption, derelict parenting and political puppetry? hmm? what type of world do you want for your children and their children and their children and …
the climate/environment does not improve under false presences … yes?
you see, it is not hard to guess 'winners' in a world inundated with religious pedestaling. if media and people like mark silk spent most of their days peddling pope mantra, fundamentalist religion gets the votes—-no? how is pope fran, silk's savior, any different from cruz? both deny gays … women and gnostics. you see, silk helped cruz 'win' … but he cannot see this from where he sits in his tower.
well, well …
people think i am arrogant? it is for man that i share … that he might be spared the hurt, the danger and the loss of life … but he lives for men like the popes of rome … as he fears me. he was taught by his teachers to fear one like me. stay away from her … she is … and mark silks of the world obey the popes of the world. because? it gains them credibility? votes? influential seats? an orthodox priest told me that people would be uncomfortable around one like me. why? because I am not bound by men in high towers 😉
my arrogance is not what man thinks. our minds are different. and look at the mental illnesses in the world that mankind forces with drugs when … there is great misunderstandings on the minds of people … and their gifts. men of religion and politics have forced so many into a mold of universalist thought—theirs …
but LIFE is much more diverse … there are many voices silenced, forced into curriculums—religious mindsets— that deny, and do not fortify the gifts of those not like silk and others …
look at the meltdown among the youth! how long has this been going on? and people label-label-label … because he or she does not fit in … does not fit the norm.
i saw this at a very young age. am i delusional? no, far from delusional. man has yet to tap the mind as it should be tapped.
we cannot begin to tell you how many youth have shared that they feel as if they had been born into the wrong family … and some give up their uniqueness to fit it—to survive … others die a slow and agonizing death.
so sad … so very sad.
but that's going to change. wake up wake up …

Correctional Services Canada.Although I cannot even begin to guess at the answer to the above, I can reflect on my own realizations. Most of the time, I find myself caught in the details of life, in a state that does not characterize the action of meditating, i.e. the constant pursuit of returning back to the centre. In building justice around me, I discover the continuous circle which draws us to the center of humanity. So, with all this meditation, there is a metaphor for how to begin re-visioning the future. I am inspired to continue advocating for restorative values as the foundation for re-visioning. We strive, not for a perfect solution, or a balanced equation, but simply a justice that heals.

Comparing the performance of synonym and antonym tests in measuring verbal abilities
This study investigates whether synonym and antonym tests measure similar domains of verbal abilities and have comparable psychometric performance. The data used in this study are subsets of the data collected during 2013-2014 graduate admission testing at Gadjah Mada University (UGM), using three forms of the Potensi Akademik Pascasarjana (PAPS) [Graduate Academic Aptitude Test]. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that synonym and antonym tests assess similar domains of verbal abilities. A model integrating items from both tests to represent a single dimension better explained the data than a model separating the two tests into manifestations of different dimensions. High correlations among dimensions in unidimensional model showed interrelatedness for the domains of verbal abilities such as verbal knowledge, comprehension, and reasoning. Additional analysis using item-level analysis showed that antonym items tended to be more difficult than synonym items. This finding indicates that, although both tests assess similar content, responding to an antonym test requires more complex cognitive process than responding to a synonym test.

Scandinavia is a region in the northern part of Europe that includes Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, and Iceland. With Viking blood flowing in the veins of many Scandinavian women, they are quite often tall, well proportioned, blonde, and have refined facial features with startling blue eyes. It is no wonder so many men are eager to learn how to meet beautiful Scandinavian women. Read on and you will find the best spaces for such an encounter or introduction.
Visit the Scandinavia House in New York. It is a good idea to become a member of the organization and connect with Scandinavian artists, lecturers, and those visiting the locale for a taste of home. This offers up a plethora of opportunities for networking, personal introductions to non-members, and of course participation in activities that encourage social interaction. There are different membership levels that are sure to be affordable to anyone.
Travel to Scandinavia. The best way to meet beautiful Scandinavian women is to go straight to the source. There are some travel agencies that specialize in travel arrangements and tours to this region, and when you spend a week in Scandinavia you cannot help but meet up with several Scandinavian beauties.
Turn on your computer, log on to the Internet, and visit the dating sites. Scandinavia Singles is particularly geared toward single men and women hailing from that region and for the American who does not wish to travel to New York or abroad, this is the next best way of meeting beautiful Scandinavian women. Basic membership is free.
Join social networking sites and actively search their membership for Scandinavian women. Quite frequently these sites will show pictures and you know right away if this is the beautiful Scandinavian woman you would like to meet or not. When you locate some promising individuals who sound interesting and look beautiful, engage them in online chat, following the rule of the social networking site you are using.
Volunteer at special events catering to the Scandinavian community. The biggest one is the annual Norsk Hostfest which utilizes 8,000 volunteers over the course of five days. Located in North Dakota, you will have ample opportunity to meet Scandinavian volunteers, visitors and also artists. Best of all, you can even sign up for shared quarters with other visitors or volunteers, some of whom may know a beautiful Scandinavian woman to whom they might introduce you!
Log on to the Internet and search for Scandinavian clubs, dance lessons, and also language courses in your vicinity. There is a cornucopia of such locales, since Scandinavians always have that little bit of homesickness in their hearts that is so common to Northern Europeans. Visit the locales, participate, and strike up friendships and relationships.

The Harborough district's two preferred major development zones should be east of Lutterworth and north of Scraptoft.
That was the decision of the council's executive on Monday.
But councillors say more detail is needed before any final vote.
Thousands of new homes and employment areas could now be concentrated in two parts of the district, in so-called Strategic Development Areas selected by the council.
One is east of the M1, opposite Lutterworth. It would effectively be a new town for up to 7,000 people. The other is north of Scraptoft, on the edge of an expanding Leicester.
The Strategic Development Areas will attract a large proportion of future district building, up to 2031.
At Monday's meeting, Cllr Geraldine Robinson said a key of the Lutterworth East development was the "spine road" that took traffic away from Lutterworth on a new bridge over the M1.
"It needs to be delivered at the earliest opportunity, or traffic numbers will rise dramatically in Lutterworth" she warned.
Scraptoft North as a development area has risen to prominence more recently.
Cllr Simon Galton told the meeting: "There's been very little detail about Scraptoft North. There is little vision."
Officers said there was good collaboration between Harborough District Council, Leicester City Council and developers and a masterplan for Scraptoft North was being prepared.
Harborough District Council has to find 532 new houses a year in the period from 2011 to 2031 - a total of 10,640 new homes.
They have now allowed another 20 per cent on top of that - a total of 12,800 homes - to meet "unforeseen circumstances" and allow for "unmet needs across the Housing Market Area".
It is a council duty to co-operate with neighbouring councils who can't meet their own housing targets.

- Trade During Trending Or Ranging Markets
- Software Automatically Identifies Optimal Trade Setups
- Learn Key Concepts Of Money Management
- Stop Chasing The Market & Start Anticipating Trades
Many people start learning how to day trade by researching technical analysis or joining a trading chat room. While there's a lot of great information and tools available for traders, we believe that many people end up struggling with conflicting trading opinions, or get let down by robots or EA's that are supposed to make money on autopilot, and many trading rooms don't focus on a single trading strategy, which can create chaos.
While trading is a business, it's also a performance activity. In other words, after you learn "how to trade" you still have to perform in the live market. For example, a trader can be extremely knowledgeable about the economy or technical analysis, but there's more to trading than just knowing what you should do. Trading requires the confidence and the skill of making consistent decisions, all while dealing with the pressure of trading the live market. In other words, trading is very similar to any other performance activity like chess, baseball or poker.
The FxPM Software was designed to help traders make clear and confident decisions. Each part of the trading strategy has been thought out, tested, and taught daily in our live market support room. From entry to exit our software seeks to give you a clear cut path for executing high profit potential trades.
In this video series, we will take you step-by-step through how to use the software, and you'll learn some very important lessons about risk management and trading psychology. This can help you even if you are brand new to trading or if you've been trading for years.

Keeper of the Plans
Like the weird stuff? The quirkiest things to do at the State Fair
At every state fair, there are hundreds of things to do that are pretty normal.
Carnival rides, livestock shows, assorted fair foods – all pretty standard.
But you're a thrill-seeker, aren't you?
You like to do the weirdest, wackiest things you can find.
No need to fear, because there are plenty of out-there things to do at the Kansas State Fair this year:
Interface with Oscar the Robot
Pops up at various locations across the fairgrounds – all week
Oscar the Robot is one of the celebrities of the fair every year, and only the luckiest of the lucky get a glimpse of the 'bot himself. Oscar, however, does like to interact with common folk – and occasionally, Oscar will even say hello to curious children, calling them by name. How he can produce such robotic magic is a mystery to children – but adults paying close attention can find out by talking to Oscar's human "handler," who accompanies him at all times. It's fairly random where you'll find Oscar, so you'll just have to keep your eyes peeled for this rolling retro robot. He's even got his own website: www.oscartherobot.com.
Legislative Showmanship
1:30 p.m. Sat., Sept. 9, Prairie Pavilion building
No, this doesn't mean debates between legislators jockeying to be the best orator in the state. This means Kansas legislators showing 4-H and FFA kids' cattle in a special contest. So far, 13 legislators have signed up. Each will be paired with a kid who will then teach the legislator how to properly show off their prized cattle to the judges. Rumor has it Sen. Ed Berger, who will be defending his home turf in Hutchinson, is the legislator to beat this year.
Pig Races
10 a.m., noon, 2:30, 4 and 6 p.m. every day (except no 10 a.m. Fri., Sept. 8), north of Bison Arena
Pig races are always one of the most-popular attractions of the fair, and what's not to like? A bevy of baby pigs line up in a pen every couple of hours and race each other to the finish line, enticed by the promise of an Oreo cookie, aka a "Pig Newton." It's quite the spectator sport, as people pack the stands to watch every race – there's even an announcer that peppers the race with various pig-themed puns. Some pig champions of past years include Sylvester Sta-loin and Jean Claude Van Ham.
Noxious weed display
All week long, Pride of Kansas Building
First off, this is not what you think it is. This isn't Colorado. The noxious weed display is a mainstay in the Pride of Kansas Building, typically always found next to the butter sculpture. It's a celebration of the pesky yard weeds that, for the other 355 days of the year, are much-maligned: we're talking musk thistle, ragweed, bindweed and quickgrass. I promise you'll leave this exhibition more well-educated about weeds – that, people, is what the State Fair is all about.
Watch animals take baths
9:30 and 11:30 a.m., 2 and 6:30 p.m. daily, Agriculture Education Exhibition Building
This seemingly voyeuristic State Fair event is a perennial attraction in the Agriculture Education Exhibition Building on the north side of the fairgrounds. It lets you watch as handlers give baths to Grand Champion animals and answer questions about caring for them – hogs, sheep and steer. If you want to travel across the fairgrounds, you can catch perhaps the best show of all: farmer Bob Briggs giving his chickens a bath, promptly at 10:30 a.m. select mornings in the Poultry Building. Fair officials can't say exactly which mornings the chicken-bathing is going to take place because, well, there's no telling exactly when chickens are going to need their next bath; however, there's something inherently hilarious about watching chickens be scrubbed. After all, you did click on an article about quirky things to do.
See the fanciest llamas in the state
8 a.m.-6 p.m. Fri., Sept. 8, Expo II Building
On the first day of the State Fair, one of the best entertainment choices you can make is to check out the Llama Show, which lasts nearly all day in the Expo II building. Llamas of all kinds will be shown throughout the day, and if that doesn't bring a smile to your face, I don't know what will.
High-flying steampunk acrobats
11 a.m., 1:30 and 6:30 p.m. daily, Gottschalk Park
This year, there will be no performing dogs, seals or other exotic animals in Hutchinson's Gottschalk Park. Instead, the fair is supplying an exotic human show. Flippin' is the latest entertainment act to come to the park – it's a show featuring a variety of aerialists and acrobats who perform stunts for fairgoers' amusement. Admission is free.
Touch giant pumpkins
All week long, Pride of Kansas Building
Before I came to the Kansas State Fair, I never imagined I'd see a pumpkin that weighed over 1,000 pounds. Just didn't ever see it happening in my lifetime. Boy, was I wrong. In the Pride of Kansas Building, you can see the biggest pumpkins this state has to offer. Two years ago, a Garden City grower smashed the record with a 1,034-pound pumpkin. Will there be a new pump-king this year? We'll just have to wait and see.
Watch butter sculpting
All week long, Pride of Kansas Building (sculpting is typically completed by the end of the first weekend)
Butter sculptures have long been a mainstay at the Kansas State Fair, but last year was the first time the fair afforded views of live butter-sculpting. Sculptor Sarah Pratt, who is well-known for her butter sculptures at the Iowa State Fair, returns to the Kansas State Fair to carve out another butter sculpture in the Pride of Kansas Building. Believe it or not, the butter used in the sculpture is the same butter that's been used for years now. In the offseason, the butter for the sculpture is stored in a fridge at Dillon's, and every year the butter is re-used.

According to a PTI report: Besides, the company also aims to double its exports in next two years by adding more geographical markets, which in turn would contribute around 10 percent of its total revenue.
"We are aiming to grow 10 percent this year compared to last year," Mahesh Gupta, Chairman, Kent RO Systems was quoted by PTI as saying.
He was further quoted by PTI as saying:" This year Kent RO would cross Rs 850 crore."

Lack Of Faith In Canadian Justice System
So Canadians don't have much faith in our system. Not surprising. Anyone who's had the misfortune of being the victim of a crime can attest to the criminal centric system.
An Internal Justice Department report says Canadians have little confidence in the courts and the prison system — and the best way to counter those perceptions is through education. They claim we as Canadians simply lack the understanding of the court and correction system's mandate.
You see,… this study says we, the people are wrong. When we see the perpetual hug a thug, catch and release program, over and over, it is we that are wrong. We're just simply not seeing it correctly.
We are wrong when we see people who break bail after bail condition with no penalty. We are wrong when we see drunk drivers who have plowed down people, destroyed lives and spend less than 2 years in jail. Of course we're wrong when see people on their 20th conviction for whatever crime, out walking the streets. We are of course also knuckle dragging Neanderthals and dead wrong when we scowl at such lunacy as it being necessary to take cultural sensitivities of the criminal.
As I peruse other like minded blogs and facebook groups, often from other countries such as Australia, the US, the UK etc, the lack of faith in the system is consistent, regardless of country. The complaints about the system also sound eerily similar. So remind me again, how WE as Canadians are the problem?
One only has to look at the long delays for the trials that make the papers or cases where 17 year old already career criminals get the benefit of the Youth Justice System and disproportionately lax sentences. In other words, a slap in the wrist and a teddy bear.
Then there's the whole issue of concurrent sentences and three for one accumulated bonuses for time off sentences etc. The system leaves the victim victimized over and over. Additional victims often are simply inconvenient add ons where no real penalty is ever suffered by the criminal for their added crimes.
The criminal judges have taken on the role of compassionate social workers to the detriment of society at large. One judge in a sensational violent case in an Ontario courtroom wished everyone to "have a good summer" during their summer recess. I doubt the parents of the terrorized victim had a great summer.
If that's not bad enough, ask those who have had the misfortune to be in the perpetually biased Family Court system. That whole cottage industry is a farce where the good of the children is seldom the outcome.
We are not the problem. The court system is broken. Trying to put lipstick and some fluttery glitter on it doesn't change anything. Our perceptions are not the problem. It's still broken.
