Episode 08: Appraisal Magic
「This…… It's fulfilling as expected…… Kukuku」
「I am glad that you are pleased」
The house interior was in a terrible state. Rather than saying that I can't do the cleaning, it's more like I don't have the energy to. Even so, it looks like that it was hardly even changed from the outside when I went out to look.
「Hey Excalibur, What kind of Magic does your sheath has?」
「Mine own sheath? It hast the ability to rewind events that hath happened, is that clear to thee? For example, I just turn back this burn'd house to its state before did get burn'd. That includes the interior as thee see」
「Aa, so I guess it almost as same as when I left it」
In other words, the house was burned after I had disappeared. Normally this will be usually impossible. Perhaps I might just be going out for a bit, so the usual thing to think is that something might have happened. I wonder if it's because I was deemed incompetent.
They didn't even consider me being alive, the mere thought of that is really devastating for me. I never really thought that my house would be burned down. I can generally guess who are the ones responsible for this. Those are only limited to those who had come to my house.
「So mine own lord, may I cut those who burn'd this house next time?」
「Please don't think of immediately killing them Excalibur…… Leaving that aside, have you already finished combing your hair?」
「Oh, thou art right. Mine own lord, do thee perhaps has't some mirror there?」
「Here you go Excalibur-sama」
Levi then handed a mirror to Excalibur. When did you move there? Have you been listening to our conversation? Furthermore, to know in advance the thing the other person would want before hand and immediately prepare it…… This demon maid is incredible!
「Ah! Many thanks Levi. Well then, I'm going to continueth combing mine own hair. I'm looking forward to it…… Fufufu」
「Aa, have fun」
Excalibur went to the living room while humming a song that I've taught her. I wonder if the other weapons have wishes like her. If it is so, then I would like to grant those.
「Well then, I guess I'll just help then」
Levi was moving around the house with a smile all over her face. Using just a dust clothe she had perfectly carried it out by herself, with an incredible speed the house became sparkling clean. The dirt that accumulated throughout the years was wiped clean with just a single wipe of the dust clothe. It was amazing enough to think that this was Levi's magic.
Isn't the power level of Levi's housekeeping skill so flawless. As expected this girl can be called a genius that possess such skill and is manifesting that power that should be usually impossible. For the meantime, I'll ask her if I can help on something.
「Hey Levi……」
「I humbly refuse masu」
I haven't even said anything yet…… Well I somehow seen this coming.
「Is that si…… Well then, I'll be in the living room so ask for me if you need anything」
「Certainly. I already clean the kitchen so I'll serve you some refreshments masu. Do you have any request desu ka?」
Ha, isn't that too quick……. Has such a time passed by?
「T-then…… Tea please」
「You also often drank tea in the basement, Rhode-sama really likes tea desu ka. Well then please wait in the living room」
「Thanks Levi. I leave it all to you」
「Certainly, please leave it to me」
I was watching Excalibur combing her hair in the living room. What a pleasured expression she is showing. The expression of ecstasy is the right one to refer it.
「Excalibur…… Your drool, your drool」
「Ha!? Excuse me mine own lord. Even so, it is much that pleasant to comb thy own hair. It was embarrassing to desire for it because i was just a half-bak'd soul…… It was grant of mercy to mine own lord that mine own dream hadst cometh true. Mine own gratitude」
「No, it is I who should be thanking you for lending your power. By the way, does the other weapons have their own wishes as well?」
「Hmmー…… Probably so. Like me, there art a lot of weapons that hast a female soul in it so there may be some with a similar wish as mine」
「Eh? There are many in the legendary weapons that is a woman?」
「Umu. I am usually in a state that is similar to being asleep, but still hast the feeling of hearing the voices on the outside…… Ah, thee has't to be that worried because there art nay particular discomfort nor pain in that. And at which hour our consciousness art clear we often talk with the other weapons. I can't grasp it in figure but, by talking with those folk there is about 60% female and 40% male」
「Is that so…… I had an image that all of you guys are male so it was somewhat surprising」
「Probably so. Thee'll bethink of all of us being male from our names. Well, the gods that has't did created all of us legendary weapons art ancient swordsmiths that art mostly males after all. Perhaps it's because of their affection akin to us being their lover or something like that. I wonder if that's the reason wherefore our souls became of a woman?」
I see. It was somewhat convincing. For their creators, they are something like a lover. It's somewhat a wonderful representation.
At that moment, the door opened and Levi entered with three cups on a tray. Steam were rising up from the cup Levi had brought.
「Thanks for waiting. Since Excalibur-sama hasn't drunk something like a tea yet so i have brought the same kind of tea as Rhode-sama」
「Or rather…… Will it be ok for you to drink it, Won't you rust?」
「I doth not knoweth…… But I would like to tryeth drinking it」
「Here you go, Excalibur-sama. Please don't push yourself if you cannot drink it nodesu. For starters why don't you try to take a sip first?」
Saying so, Excalibur put the cup close to her lips, after hesitating for some time she then quickly drank it. Although she was surprised at the beginning, she then separates her lips from the cup for a little while. She then fully drank it and raised a voice of admiration.
「Woah…… This drinketh is extraordinary! The taste! The scent! And this is a Koucha! This is…… So very delicious!」
「I am please that you are satisfied with it desu」
「Will it really be ok? Then I'll drink mine too」
The tea that Levi brewed was very delicious. While drinking the delicious tea, After listening about the heroic battles from Excalibur and the progress of Levi's cleaning, I asked what I was bothered with from Levi.
「Hey Levi. When using appraisal magic, what do you see?」
「That's right desu ne…… Please wait for a moment」
She then took out a paper and an aged quill pen, while she was looking at me she then started writhing something. After she was finished, she had wrote the same way while looking at Excalibur this time. She then showed the paper after she was finished writing.
「This is how it look like in my point of view nodesu. Ah, I'll also write mine as well」
She den smoothly wrote another one then gave it to me.
I see. So it looks like this. huh
Rhode Irvine
18 Yrs Old Human race 178cm 70kg
Possessed Magic: Existence Magic 【SSS: Lv.2】
Possessed Skill: All Martial Arts 【SS】
Special Skill: Without Sleeping, Eating or Drinking 【B】
「Although I omitted some things, it is generally looks like that desu. If I look at the the magic and skill closely then I'll be able to know the detailed information on it masu. In addition, I can also see the physical condition masu ne」
「Hmm, special skill? Sleeping without Eating or Drinking…… What is this?」
「A special skill is in a level that you can call your ability that is your strong point, the name and effect will appear on my appraisal magic masu. However, there are many cases that one does not possess it desu. Because there is nothing that can be called one's ability. It can be also said that you need to awaken the skill first. Rhode-sama's special skill is a skill that lets you act without any need for any sleep, drink or food for a long time desu」
Ahー…… So that's why i can work nonstop for three days. Or perhaps it's a skill that I've awoken during this past three years. I shouldn't relive those unpleasant days……
「In some rare cases, there are special skills that can surpass that of skills but considerable training is necessary desu ne. In my case it is slightly different masu」
「Fumu? The description of magic and skill is further described. What is this 【SSS】 and 【B】 in the magic and in skills?」
「Both magic and skill have ranks no desu. 【SSS】 is the highest and 【D】 is at the bottom desu ne. The S evaluation can be seen as relatively fair, but there's really more than meets the eye desu. Existence magic is undisputedly at the highest tier desu ne. It is no exaggeration that it is already at the realms of a God's power desu kara」
「As expected, Existence Magic is really amazing. The magic level of it is on 2…… So how can I raise it?」
「You only have to use it often desu ne. Initially you will be able to use new power every level 10 intervals masu. By the way, the maximum level is at 100 desu. Of course we cannot recognize the concept of levels without using appraisal magic」
「……So I have to give it my best. Then next is Excalibur……」
Holy Sword Excalibur
The holy sword forged by God.
It was the legendary sword that was used by the great hero Arthur.
I has the power to bring victory toward it's owner.
Enveloped with light, it can stretch its blade to release a flying slash attack.
Also its sheath has the ability to 〝Rewind Events〟and rewind it back to the time that the event hasn't yet happen.
Weapon Rank: 【SSS】
Ability Rank: 【SSS】
「Hou, I was indicated in this way. This is a well written thing. HA HA HA!」
「Weapon Rank is graded based on rarity, strength, and technical proficiency, Ability Rank is graded based on the usefulness of it's effects masu. Similar from before, 【SSS】 is the highest and 【D】 is at the bottom desu」
Truly a legendary holy sword indeed…… Aren't both have 【SSS】.
「Fumufumu, Then next is Levi……」

Transcendental Zero Numbering artifact. Made by combining the 3 Godly treasures of the Empire: God's Flail, Arham's Shield, and Rangkom's Stake.
Description Edit
Made with an alloy that allows a transcendent to freely utilize it, unlike the Solo Numbering weapons. Its original owner is Nepallem who brought it from someone so that Tiamet can use it in the Green Zone. Due to its overwhelming power, it was split apart into 3 artifacts in order for Tiamet to use. It can be used in its hammer form or its treasures form.
The Handle of the hammer is Rangkom's Stake. The Head of the hammer is God's Flail. The Flat Part of the hammer's head is Arham's Shield. The stake has a few protrusions. The flail has a hole. The shield has an indent. Only by knowing the method to fuse them can they fit together. All together, Mjolnir is a head-size red anvil with a black top and a white handle.
A hammer that always desires to destroy, no matter it the opponent was an enemy or its owner. While not in battle, the energy will head towards the owner to rip apart his muscles, burn up his nerves, and break his bones. The destructive energy will flow into the owner's body to rip apart his internals, but Hansoo viewed this damage as a good form of training for Immortal Soul. The hammer has a lot of pride. It will not accept those that denies its energy as its owner.
Abilities Edit
When the hammer hits an enemy, the sky splits apart as a humongous bolt of lightning strikes down. When this bolt of lightning hits, every nerve fiber in the enemy's body will seem to scream with pain. The central nervous system and even the enemy's muscle will be paralyzed in an instant. Bolts of lightning will strike around the hammer.
Smashing the hammer into the ground summons a giant bolt of lightning, thus creating a pillar of lightning.
As a Zero Numbering artifact, it will not break under the strength of a Transcendent.

Abenaki celebrate first Moultonboro pow wow

June 17, 2009
MOULTONBORO — The grounds at Castle in the Clouds were alive with the sound of drums and the energy of dancers as the Abenaki Pow Wow came to Moultonboro.
Visitors and members of the Cowasuck Band of the Pennacook Abenaki people were welcomed to the pow wow by Cowasuck Chief and President Paul Pouliot. People gathered around a circle in the center of the pow wow, where the dancers moved. In the center of the circle, under the shade of a tent, three drumming circles kept the beat.
"I carry the wampum," said Pouliot, holding it up for people to see, before hanging it in the center of the circle. "It is meant to unify our people. When we hang this belt, it means the pow wow has started."
The pow wow moved to Castle in the Clouds from its previous location in Sanbornton. Pouliot said that the decision was made last year, after the Cowasuck Band met with some Castle representatives and fell in love with the site, grassy fields atop a mountain, with a view of Lake Winnipesaukee.
The Cowasuck Band, Pouliot explained, means "the people of the white pines." Though the people of the Cowasuck were spread out over the country at one point, he said, they were "joined by one council fire," which burned outside the circle, at one end of the field.
Giving an explanation for each song at the beginning, Pouliot and the drum circles began the traditional opening songs, sung in the Abenaki language. The drumbeats and chorus of voices began the grand entrance of dancers, who circled the drummers, led by Senior Tribal Judge Patriarch of the Grand and Elders Council "Grandfather Maple" Rene Blanchette.
Pouliot introduced each song, explaining to visitors the history of each song and dance. Drummers sang the flag song to honor "the land and the creator for allowing us to be here," and the veteran's song, honoring those who had died in peace, and those who had died in warfare. A final dance in the opening ceremonies was for all relations that "are here and have gone on before us."
Dancers also took up the education of visitors. Softwalker, a dancer from Center Ossipee, brought a friend in to dance with her around the circle.
"Women hold the blankets over our left arms to indicate if we have children," said Softwalker, indicating the blankets that she and several other women carried in the dance. "People understand a lot when you explain. They've got so many questions, and they find out their own heritage. You don't have to have blood. Lots of people have the sense and the spirit."
For several of the dancers there, this wasn't their first experience at a pow wow, nor were they the first dancers in their family. Joseph Walks-With-Wolves Fay of Laconia has been dancing at pow wows for 12 years, after starting out in Florida with the Seminole Tribe.
Cyrus Greene, 11, of Templeton, Mass., grew up with dancers in his family. With a bright white costume with lots of yarn fringe to emphasize his movements, he tried to vary his movements and move in different dances at each song.
"I've been doing this since I was a little squirt, three or four years old, at least," said Greene. "It's very difficult, you just have to hold onto it. My costume weighs about 60 pounds. My grandmother used to wear a jingle dress that weighed 200 pounds on her shoulders, and she had to jump up and down."
Set up around the dancing circle were vendors, invited by the Cowasuck Band to the event, offering a variety of Native American arts and crafts. Vendors sold rows of feathery dream catchers, coyote purses, beaded bracelets, woven ponchos, wampum, baskets, herbs, and wolf and deer skins.
Working on his craft in front of visitors, Rich Broken Arrow of Winchester chipped away at bits of obsidian to create arrowheads and knives. His hands bore the marks of his trade - obsidian is sharp, and cuts back at the person trying to carve it.
"There's a certain way to do it," said Broken Arrow. "You have to get the flat parts off, and create shoulders. It typically takes 20-25 minutes, if I'm working at it. There's nothing in the world sharper than obsidian."

THE RESURRECTIONS From the Ambassador College study paper of 1973/74 THE SECOND RESURRECTION FORMER Prime Minister Winston Churchill once said before the American Congress: "He must indeed have a blind soul who cannot see that some great purpose and design is being worked out here below." What is that purpose which the Creator is working out on this earth among mere mortals? We have seen in previous articles in this series that man's only hope is the resurrection. Also, we saw biblical proof that man is mortal - not immortal - and that he can only receive immortality as a gift from God by a resurrection from the dead. Furthermore, we saw that the Bible clearly reveals there is to be MORE than ONE resurrection. There is an orderly plan whereby different ones are to be resurrected at different times "But every man [will be resurrected] in his own order..." 1 Cor. 15:23). There will be a proper "order' of succession of resurrections. The true faithful Christians will be the first raised to life, and the will be resurrected to immortality at the second coming of Christ (see 1 Cor.15:49-53: 1 Thes.4:14-17). Resurrection of the Unjust. But what about all those who are not resurrected at the second coming of Jesus? Will they remain forever dead or will God also resurrect them all at later date? And will they be raised back to life merely to be flung into the lake of fire? What about all the unsaved multitudes reared under Communistic atheism, who have no Bibles, and have never heard the name of Christ or understood the gospel? Some say these multitudes will have a second chance. But have they really ever had a FIRST chance to know Jesus Christ as Saviour? Revelation 20:5 begins to give the answer. "But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection." The expression "this is the first resurrection" refers back to those in verse four who are raised to immortality at Christ's coming to become rulers with Him as kings and priests on the earth during the millennium. Many have made the mistake of thinking there will be only one resurrection - when both wicked and righteous will rise in judgment to be either rewarded or punished. But Revelation 20:5 plainly brands this an error. As a matter of fact, nowhere does the Bible say that God will resurrect all the dead in the same resurrection. True, the Apostle Paul affirmed "that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust" (Acts 24:15). And Jesus Christ said: "... For the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of LIFE [eternal]; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation [or, better translated, judgment]" (John 5:28,29). But let us not fall into the common error of assuming that Paul and Christ meant the "just" and the "unjust" would be resurrected at the same time. We have seen that the Apostle John wrote of a "first resurrection" and a "second resurrection." So where does that leave us? Since all the "just" or righteous dead are resurrected at the second coming of Christ, leaving the "unjust" dead in their graves, are all these unjust dead eternally, lost without any hope of ever having an opportunity to live again and obtain immortality? A Resurrection of Mortals. Are the unjust ones merely to be resurrected so God can fling them into the lake of fire to be burned up'! What did Christ mean when He said that "they that have done evil will be resurrected], unto the resurrection of judgment"? (John 5:29). Who are the "unjust" ones mentioned by Paul in Acts 24:15? Are those who died in sin really fully accountable for their actions in their "first life"? Have they ever had a chance for eternal salvation? Astounding as it may seem to people who do not really know the scriptural teaching regarding the resurrections, countless billions are yet to be brought back to a mortal life to have their "first chance" to receive salvation. Think for a moment. Could the untold billions who have lived and died possibly have received salvation? Have the vast majority ever had a chance to understand the Bible? Have they, then, really rejected salvation? No! Many individuals have lived their entire lifetimes without ever seeing a Bible or even hearing the name of Jesus Christ. Are they forever doomed simply because they did not have the Word of God, and did not know that Christ is the Saviour of all mankind? What nonsense! What Constitutes a "Chance"? Could countless billions of Hindus, Buddhists, Confucianists, Taoists, animists and others who have not known about Christ and salvation be held guilty or accountable to God for not having received that vital knowledge? Or is it possible that they could receive salvation through some other person, or by a different way? The Apostle Peter emphatically answers: "Neither is there salvation in any other.., for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved" (Acts 6:12). Human beings can only be saved if and when they learn of Jesus Christ as their Saviour who died for them, and then accept that supreme sacrifice in payment for their personal sins. Christ said: "I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture" (John 10:9). He made it abundantly clear that anyone who "entereth not by the door [Christ] into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber" (verse 1). There is no other "door" by which we can enter the Kingdom of God. Can You Have a Second Chance? Someone will ask: "Do you mean to say that God will resurrect men back to a mortal life, and give them a second chance?" No, this is not what the Bible teaches at all. But the scriptures plainly reveal that the time is coming when God will raise the "unjust" dead - those who through no fault of their own were deceived and never understood the way of salvation - and will at that time reveal His plan of salvation to them. Don't forget this basic truth: It is "impossible for God to lie" (Heb.6:18). And "the scripture cannot be broken" (John 10:35): therefore, whatever God promises in His Word, He will do. God's Word plainly says: "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to usward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance" (2 Pet.3:9). It is not God's will that heathen animists, pagan idolators or other sincere people who may practice a false religion, should perish. A loving Creator wills that "all should come to repentance" - in His own time and way. The Apostle Paul was also inspired to write that God our Saviour "will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth" (I Tim.2:4). He then went on to show that "there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time" (verses 5,6). It is God's responsibility to grant people the knowledge of the truth. The vast majority who have ever lived and died were, through no fault of their own, deprived of this knowledge which would have made salvation possible in their first life-time. It therefore becomes imperative that God give them their first real chance to hear, understand and follow God's way of salvation. But how? By raising them from the dead to renewed physical life in a second resurrection. But millions of Christians erroneously believe that when one dies in sin he is lost forever. Many feel under a burden to see that Christ is preached to the heathen in Africa, Asia and other parts of the earth because they think that if these pagans die in sin, they will miss out on salvation forever. One scripture oft quoted to prove that a person who dies in sin is forever doomed is Ecclesiastes 11:3 "...If the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be." This scripture, referring in context to certain instructions Solomon was giving with regard to the importance of making the most out of an uncertain and relatively short human lifetime, has nothing to do with any resurrection. Solomon does not say that if one, through no fault of his own, dies in sin, be will never have a chance to repent and receive salvation. What Is Judgment? In John 5:29, Jesus Christ spoke of "the resurrection of damnation." Nearly all modern translations correctly render this last word as "judgment" rather than "damnation." But what does it mean to be resurrected to judgment? Most Christians woefully misunderstand. They think of "judgment as only a time when a sentence is passed - rewarding the righteous or condemning the guilty. But that is a false concept. Notice what the Apostle Peter wrote: "For the time [beginning nearly 2,000 years ago] is come that judgment must begin at the house of God ..." (I Pet.4:17). What did he mean? He did not just mean condemnation had begun at God's house, the Church. Rather he referred to the fact that God is now judging Christians. We are now having our chance, and we will never have another. "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation..." (Heb.2:3.) See also Hebrews 6:4-6; 10:26-29. God holds every Christian strictly accountable for his actions. He is now judging every believer according to His Word. But the vast majority of mankind, to this very day, do not understand or believe the truth of God. They have been deceived by the devil (Rev.12:9). And it is God's responsibility to someday see that these deceived billions become undeceived and are given their chance for salvation - for He is not willing that any perish! When Christ said some would come forth in a resurrection to "judgment," he meant they would be raised up from their graves to a time when they would learn the truth and have their opportunity to walk in it. Then God will render a decision - a verdict - for each, on the basis of how they do. Judgment of Unjust Sodom. Some are amazed to learn that Jesus made a number of statements in which he said that the peoples of Sodom, Go- morrah, Tyre, Sidon, Nineveh am those living in Christ's day will all rise up in the judgment together. Mercy will be shown to all, but the Gentile cities will find their judgment period more bearable than those who personally heard the teachings of Jesus Christ and yet rejected Him and His gospel. Christ solemnly affirmed: "Verily I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city [which rejected His teachings]" (Matt.10:15). To those cities who saw His miracles. Christ said, "But I say unto you [people of Bethsaida and Chorazin], It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you" (Matt.11:21,22). Then Jesus warned Capernaum that if the mighty works done by Him in that city had been done in Sodom, Sodom would have existed to that very day. "But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom, in the day of judgment, than for thee" (verse 24). Furthermore, Christ made a similar pronouncement regarding Nineveh: "The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here" (Matt.12:41). Jesus then explained that "The queen of the south [Queen of Sheba] shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it; for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon is here" (verse 42). What did Jesus mean? Just this: The Queen of Sheba, the peoples of Nineveh, Tyre, Sidon, Sodom and Gomorrah will find repentance easier in their "day of judgment" than will those who rejected Christ and His gospel message. Resurrected Israel's Judgment. Jesus Christ was not preaching a "new doctrine" when He spoke of the resurrection of the peoples of Sodom and Gomorrah. It was clearly indicated, if the people only had eyes to see, in the 16th chapter of the book of Ezekiel. Much of the chapter relates to the people of Jerusalem (verse 2). It details their abominations, calling Samaria the "elder sister" of Jerusalem, and Sodom her "younger sister" (verse 46). Then God points out that the sins the people of Jerusalem had committed were more abominable than those of her sisters - Sodom and Samaria. Finally, Ezekiel prophesies of the time when the Sodomites, Samaritans and the people of Jerusalem will all be brought up out o� their captivity in death and will finally receive salvation. "When I shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then will I bring again the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them" (verse 53). The peoples of Sodom and Gomorrah have been held captive in the grave for nearly four thousand years. But through Christ's death and resurrection all of those held captive in the grave will be released. "... When he [Christ ascended up on high [at His resurrection], he led captivity [death] captive..." (Eph.4:8). Christ was held captive in the grave for three days and nights, but at His resurrection He "led captivity captive." He will do the same for all mankind in due time by resurrecting "all that are in the graves." When God resurrects the peoples of ancient Sodom, Samaria and Jerusalem, they will "return to their former estate"--meaning that God will place them in the land where they once lived (Ezek. 16:55). Ezekiel also prophesied elsewhere of a coming resurrection of all the dead Israelites of past centuries. The prophet first sees them as long dead in a "valley of dry bones" (Ezek.37:1-10). "Then he [God] said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel.... Behold, O my people, I will I open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you out of your graves" (verses 11-13). Then God promises He will put His Spirit in them (giving them the prerequisite for salvation) and will place them in their "own land" (verse 14). Mercy Upon All. Even the Apostle Paul prophesied of a coming resurrection for carnal Israel. Paul wrote: "God hath not cast away his people [Israel] which he foreknew" (Rom.11:2). Paul explains that the majority of Israel are spiritually blinded (verse 7). And who is responsible? "... God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear..." (verse 8). Why? "For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world" - it makes possible the salvation of the Gentiles! - "What shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?" (Verse 15.) Yes, they are to be raised from the dead and given life by the God who loves them and all humanity. Paul calls this a mystery "...blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved ..." (verses 25,26). What Paul is saying is simply this: God has determined to call and choose only a limited number from Israel in this age. He is not trying to save all Israel now! He therefore calls those Israelites whom He wills, but allows the rest to remain blinded so that He can call a number of Gentiles to fulfill His purpose. "For as ye [Gentiles] in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their [Israel's] unbelief: Even so have these [unbelieving Israelites] also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all" (verses 30-32). When the Apostle Paul understood the mystery of God's great masterplan, he was filled with praise: "O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!" (Verse 33). God is not trying to save the whole world now! Rather, He has allowed Satan to deceive the world with his false teaching (Rev.12:9). He must prove to Satan and to man that Satan's way produces bad results? Great White Throne Judgment. Just what is the Great White Throne Judgment? "The resurrection of the righteous will take place at the coming of Christ (I Thes.4:13-19; 1 Cor.15:53), [the resurrection) of the unsaved at the Great White Throne Judgment after the Kingdom Age (Rev.20:11-15)." (Unger's Bible Dictionary, 1966 ed., article, "Resurrection.") God is great, merciful, loving, not willing that any should perish. He wills that all come to the knowledge of the truth and to true repentance. But He knows it is better that most people come to this knowledge of the truth in a better world than ours. That is why these people will be raised up in the second resurrection - a resurrection to a mortal, fleshly, earthly existence. Here is how it is depicted in the 20th chapter of Revelation. "And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it.... And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God ..." (Rev.20:11,12). "The books [Greek, biblos - books or Bible) were opened" (verse 12). This means that those raised up at that time will have the books of the Bible opened to their knowledge and understanding. And also the "book of life" will be open so their names can be written in it when each repents of his sins, accepts Christ as personal Saviour, and receives God's Holy Spirit. Then they will be judged "according to their works" (verse 12). Thus we see the "rest of the dead" raised to life, standing before God to be judged - but not to be condemned, as so many falsely assume. God will then judge those "unjust" dead, who are at that time raised to life, just as He now judges His own house - His Church (1 Pet.4:17). The book of life will be opened so they can all receive eternal life, if they will! How thrilling to understand God's master plan which He is working out here below among mortal men. ............... To be continued with "The Third Resurrection" Entered on this Website February 2008 Note: When one understands the truth about the second resurrection, one wants to shout with praise and thanksgiving to the Lord, for truly how PATIENT and LOVING and MERCIFUL He is! Yes, He really does DESIRE that all will have an open and equal and fair chance to be CALLED to salvation. He really does want all the millions, nay, BILLIONS, those having lived and died, from babies to the elderly, who never understood the Bible, or never heard the name of Jesus. I tell you friends the Roman Catholic world and the Protestant world, HAS NEVER TAUGHT OR UNDERSTOOD this WONDERFUL TRUTH of the SECOND resurrection. Even many of the 7th Day Sabbath observing churches DO NOT KNOW OR TEACH THIS TRUTH! There were many truths of the Bible preached and taught by the OLD Radio Church of God (later to be called the Worldwide Church of God) under Herbert W. Armstrong. That man and his organization may have gone off the tracks, and became a one man cult, before he died, but the fact is, SOME great and splendid truths did come from that organization. The truth of the SECOND resurrection is ONE of those truths. Few ministers or church organizations have ever understood it. Let us praise the Almighty that He has in the last century made sure that this truth has been a part of the restitution of all things. God's truths are marching on, the restitution of all things is is taking place. You can be a part of it all, you have the blessing of being able to find the truths of God on this Website. Act upon what you are being led to find, LIVE it! Then YOU can be a part of the FIRST resurrection and be in the Family of God to teach millions of others about the Bible, about Jesus as Savior, about the way to salvation. Truly that is the blessing of blessings. Keith Hunt

Bicycle Accidents
Recent bicycle accident statistics underscore the importance of riding safety for people in the Houston area. Both 2014 and 2015 saw six fatalities among Houston bicyclists; in 2016, four cyclists perished in accidents by the middle of March.
What Qualifies as a Bicycle Accident?
A bicycle accident is any traffic accident that involves at least one person using a bicycle. A bicycle is a type of vehicle propelled by human power. Accidents involving a motorist colliding with a bicyclist are among the most common and have grown in recent years.
How to Determine Who's at Fault
Most bike accidents involve one party failing to follow traffic regulations. However, it is often difficult to decipher what might have happened in the chaos after a crash. The best course of action is to talk to a Houston bicycle accident attorney who can help you clarify matters.
Why Bicycle Accidents Happen
The causes of bicycle accidents often come from a lapse in judgment about how to safely share the road with the other party, whether that's the bicyclist or the motorist. For example, drivers may be unaware of the proper rules to follow where bike paths meet roadways. On the other hand, bicyclists may encounter trouble with some maneuvers, like left turns.
In general, bicyclists have all of the same rights and responsibilities as motorists. It is crucial for all parties on the road to give others appropriate space, care, and respect. Anyone can be at fault for a cycling accident – although the most high-profile cases involve fault on the part of a motorist. Factors like bad weather, distracted driving, and alcohol can all play a role.
Common Injuries Involved in Bicycle Accidents
The injuries involved in a cycling accident depend to a large extent on the details of the event. For example, cyclists may sustain relatively light injuries when "doored" – that is, struck by a car door as it opens. On the other hand, a direct collision with a vehicle frequently results in broken bones and can even be fatal. It is always a good idea to wear a safety helmet!
How to Document the Accident and Injury Claims
Documenting the accident scene as best you can may help your case. If you have a mobile device such as a smartphone, take photographs of your bicycle, any vehicles involved, and the surrounding area. These images will be "time-stamped," helping establish the timeline later. You should see a doctor as soon as possible to discuss injuries and potential costs of care.
If you are accused of being at fault in an accident, an expert bicycle accident attorney can help protect your rights. Don't delay: For one-on-one assistance, contact Nguyen & Chen.

JCC Krakow Announces Third Annual Ride For The Living & Partnership With JCC Association
The Third Annual Ride For The Living will take place on Friday, June 3, 2016. Ride For The Living is a unique event where over 150 participants will cycle 55miles (90 km) from the iconic Auschwitz-Birkenau gate to the Jewish Community Centre of Krakow (JCC Krakow) and participate in four days of educational and community programs.
Ride For The Living honors the Holocaust while celebrating the renewal of contemporary Jewish life in Poland today. Ride For The Living will be led by Chief Rabbi of Poland, Michael Schudrich and riding next to him will be 81 year old Auschwitz Holocaust Survivor, Marcel Zielinski. The Jewish Community Centers Association of North America (JCC Association) is offering a satellite Ride For The Living program to JCCs around the U.S. for those unable to travel to Poland to participate.
Ride For The Living is an annual event under the patronage of Chief Rabbi of Poland Michael Schudrich. "When Jews around the world consider Poland, they have an obligation to not only remember the past, but also to recognize the work being done to bring as many Jews here in Poland back to the Jewish people. The Ride For The Living is so important because Jewish life in Poland is flourishing a miracle considering antiSemitism
in Europe today. Jewish communities around Poland are growing, and while we acknowledge our loss as a people here, we must focus on the future," explains Rabbi Schudrich.
Riders from the US, UK, Canada, Israel, Colombia, Ukraine, and Poland will tour AuschwitzBirkenau on Thursday, June 2; cycle the 55miles from Auschwitz-Birkenau to JCC Krakow on Friday, June 3; join the Jewish community of Krakow for a festive Shabbat dinner on Friday night after the Ride; and participate in 7@nite Night of the Synagogues on Saturday, June 4.
JCC Krakow is partnering with the JCC Association of North America which will offer satellite Ride For The Living program at 14 participating JCCs in June. JCCs will hold dedicated Ride For The Living spin classes where participants will cycle to support Ride participants in Poland while learning about the renewal of Jewish life happening in Krakow and across Poland.
Funds raised from the inaugural 2014 Ride supported a JCC Krakow Holocaust Survivors' Mission to Israel. For most of these child survivors, it was their first time in Israel and their only opportunity to travel as a community. In 2015, Riders raised over $150,000 USD to launch new educational programs and support for medical and welfare services for JCC's Holocaust Survivor members. The 2016 Ride For The Living will support ongoing programming for all generations in the community including Holocaust Survivors, students, and children.
To learn more and register for Ride For The Living, please visit www.ridefortheliving.org.
About JCC Krakow
The Jewish Community Centre of Krakow (JCC Krakow) provides social, educational, and community oriented services to the Jewish community of Krakow. Opened in April 2008 by HRH, The Prince of Wales, the JCC has quickly established itself as the focal point of Jewish life in the city both for Krakowians as well as thousands of visitors from Poland and abroad every month. For more information, please visit www.jcckrakow.org or www.friendsofjcckrakow.org.

We need a thread full of delicious bread recipes.
Thanks to immigrating, I'm currently enjoying not being allowed to work yet (at first I thought I'd hate not working, then I discovered the joy of sleeping in every day for a month), so I've been indulging in all the baking I haven't gotten to do in years. Top of my list was learning to bake really good bread, so I thought I'd start a bread thread! Whose got good recipes they want to share? Bonus points if you can work in some protection spells for the family.
So far my most successful has been honey-glazed challah (recipe below) and the wee beginnings of a sourdough starter (which I'll try to share later).
1 cup of warm water
¼ cup + 1 tsp sugar
1 pkg (or 2 ¼ tsp) yeast
½ oil
2 tsp salt
3 eggs
4ish cups of flour (plus more for kneading)
¼ cup water
2 Tbsp honey
Dissolve ¼ tsp of sugar in ½ cup of water, than add the yeast and let it dissolve. Add in the oil, rest of the water, rest of the sugar, 2 eggs, and salt and beat until you feel like it. Slowly add in the flour until nice and sticky. Let it rest for 10 minutes than knead for 10 minutes.
Next let it rise for about 1 ½ - 2 hours, punch down, and let it rise double again, this time about 45 minutes. Divide the dough into 3 parts (or 6, if you're super fancy and good at braiding), and braid nicely. Place this on a lightly greased baking sheet and let it rise double one last time (about another 45 minutes). Should look something like this before the final rise :
Prebake.jpg 255.86KB 0 downloads
Preheat oven to 400 F. Beat the remaining egg and brush it over the top of the challah. Bake for about 30 minutes. While this is happening, make the glaze. Bring the water and honey to a gentle boil about medium heat, and stir constantly while the honey dissolves. The minute you take the challah out of the oven, brush it with the glaze and let it cool. (And stick a tray underneath unless you want a honey-covered counter).

Catering Quotes Swan Bay Vic
8 Insider Tips For Choosing the Right Catering Service In Swan Bay
When it concerns the things that can make or break an occasion, few are as essential as the quality, flavor and appearance of the food and drinks you serve. A lot is riding on your decision which catering service to employ, and if you believe this decision really isn't really that important, take a look at it this way, remarkable catering can save an occasion that's on the rocks, but bad catering will generally send visitors to the doors.
In addition, due to the fact that catering is typically the # 1 or # 2 line-item expense for a lot of occasions, the catering service you choose is also a substantial financial choice and can influence how much money you have left over to spend on other areas depending on food costs and quantities.
Include the fact that catering services can vary significantly in their prices and the types of meals and services they offer, and the process of selecting a caterer can figuratively and literally seem like you are comparing apples to oranges.
# 1 Responsiveness And Individual Interest In Your Requirements
Of all the event and catering professionals we talked with, this showed up over and over and over again, generally since how responsive and interested a catering service is during your preliminary conversations is a sign of how they will carry out during the length of their agreement with you (and more on agreements later on).
A potential catering service must be discovering as much as they can about you in your first couple of conversations with them, so you need to expect them to be talking and asking questions about 20% of the time and you offering responses and describing your requirements about 80% of the time.
# 2 Capability To Handle Your Particular Type of Occasion In Swan Bay 3225
Not every caterer is best or every kind of event, and lots of caterers themselves openly admit this.
So when interviewing your Swan Bay caterers (and you must talk with at least 3 caterers for any event with a sensible budget), you need to be specific about the type of event you are preparing and the kind of food and/or presentation you are expecting. Otherwise, you may wind up choosing a catering service who simply isn't really a good suitable for the type or style of your occasion.
Virtually every caterer has a basic menu or menus to select from, and lots of do supply some level of built-in flexibility to adapt these menus to your specific requirements by substituting specific items and/or customizing others.
However, the standout catering services will surpass standardized menu choices and be willing to create remarkable fare that matches much more specific style and dietary needs.
# 3 Desire To Offer Tastings
How will you ever know what a caterer can do unless you sample their goods? And more specifically, how will you know what the menu items you are thinking about will taste like unless you specifically try them?
Some people shy away from asking to sample the particular items they desire for their event due to the fact that it seems like a hassle for the catering service, but it is standard to request a tasting of what you are planning to order prior to you sign on the dotted line.
In addition, you can ask for wine parings for these tastings if they are appropriate for your event (again, be prepared to pay a cost, it's a small cost to pay to guarantee you select the best catering service). When you are sampling the food, also address how it is presented, as any caterer who makes the effort to correctly show a sample will most likely be most likely to make that type of effort on your occasion day.
Are you an event supervisor who needs to manage catering information, budgets and projects?
Or are you a catering service who has to track propositions, invoices, meal choices, stock and other customer details?
# 4 Familiarity With The Location
You might be in for a surprise if you work with a BARBEQUE take-out joint to cater an official ballroom charity event. Or if you select a high-end business occasion caterer to serve a barn wedding event. Why? Since these catering services might not be accustomed to preparing and serving food in such a setting.
This can get even more particular depending on constraints of the location itself, like in the case of museums and historical sites.
Even more traditional places can likewise have limitations that caterers must follow, like particular setup requirements or disposal restrictions for waste food and water, so having a caterer that is familiar with a venue's rules can possibly save you lots of inconvenience on event day.
# 5 Complete Description Of Services/Goods Promised In The Contract
The caterer's agreement need to clearly define exactly what food, drinks and services the catering service will be providing on the designated day( s). Moreover, it must protect you from non-performance as much as it protects the catering service from non-payment/default, so you may want to think about having a lawyer} take a look at it prior to you sign it.
Every detail needs to be included in the contract, consisted of selected menus, number of portions and/or people to be served, beverage/bar service details (if applicable) and all pricing and additional services.
No catering service in Swan Bay with a shred of dignity and scruples participates in an agreement with plans to bail at the last minute, however you need to ensure there is a cancellation clause in your agreement simply in case your catering service has to cancel.
You do not wish to be left without recourse with only days or hours before your occasion, so just make sure cancellation procedures and penalties remain in place so you do have a backup strategy.
# 6 Referrals You Can Call and Speak To
Obviously you will need to look into the catering services you are thinking about, and it's always great to begin online and check out sites.
Nevertheless, do not stop there, as online reviews are not always trusted (or perhaps genuine); for example, a good catering service may have had a couple of nightmare/hater clients who alter their ratings, while a really mediocre catering service may have padded their online reviews. So see if you can find some previous customers of the caterers you are thinking about and reach out to them.
# 7 Insurance
Every catering service we talked with called insurance protection "a provided" for caterers, and you definitely don't want to legally be on the hook for some oversight or mishap that was the fault of your catering service.
# 8 An Experienced Chef and Cooking Area Staff
Surprisingly, the length of time a catering company in Swan Bay has actually stayed in business may not be as critical in selecting a terrific caterer as you may believe.
So ensure to ask about the chef's bona fides and CV because he or she will probably be the one most responsible for the result of the meal and whether your visitors enjoy it or not.

The Uncommon Canvas is an art blog featuring self-taught artists, visionary art environments, unusual places, offbeat travel destinations, and art made with non-traditional materials.
We also include art projects for children. Using affordable and unique materials, we hope to inspire kids to create using their own intuition and resources. We believe that art should be fun, non-intimidating, and accessible to all individuals regardless of their abilities and backgrounds.
This blog was created in hopes of reaching all kinds of people, whether you are a professional artist or someone interested in learning more about art. Our goal is to showcase the work of artists who are doing things a bit differently than the so-called mainstream. We are not here to critique or write lengthy academic discourses. Although we are interested in those areas of discussion, we believe that there are already many people successfully writing from that perspective, and therefore we are simply here to celebrate art and let it speak for itself.
Below are examples of topics featured in our posts:
- Studio art programs supporting artists with disabilities (or different abilities).
- Artists working with non-traditional materials, such as toothpicks, bottle caps, or recyclables.
- Eccentric places and architecture, such as houses made out of bottles or mosaic sculpture gardens.
- Art by outsider and self-taught artists, but not limited to those categories.
We have included a few key terms used on this blog:
Outsider art: Outsider art refers to artists who are working outside of the mainstream art world with little or no formal training. One important distinction is that many of the artists create their work without concern for whether or not they have a public audience.
In some cases, it can be a spiritual calling or obsessive desire. Many of these artists are beginning to gain well-deserved recognition in the mainstream art world. However, as this continues, the term "outsider art" is becoming controversial or perhaps obsolete. Some prefer to use the terms: self-taught art, visionary art, or non-traditional art instead. Examples of well-known outsider artists include Henry Darger, Lee Godie, and Martín Ramírez.
Self-taught artist/art: Self-taught art may refer to an individual who has an awareness of mainstream culture, but does not have professional art training. They may have training in other areas taught themselves how to draw, paint, or sculpt.
Visionary Art Environment: Visionary Art Environments range from houses made with unusual materials to eccentric sculpture gardens. Many of the artists use discarded objects and found materials to create their environments. Well-known examples of art environments include Simon Rodia's Watts Tower, Tom Every's Forevertron, and Nek Chand's Rock Garden of Chandigarh.
Please feel free to contact us with questions or ideas for posts! If you feel like your work is a good fit for this blog, please let us know. We are always on the lookout for new artists! Thank you.

Ten simple beauty tips to save you money on a tight budget. Includes simple recipes and tricks to make products last longer.
1. Bleach your own teeth- There is now an abundance of home-whitening kits available on the market today. There is no longer any need to go to the dentist and spend anywhere from $100 to $1000 dollars on dental procedures. Whiter teeth always make you look better, and may even make you more likely to smile with confidence. And confidence is a great (free!) beauty booster!
2. Sign up for freebies- If you are reading this, you likely have internet access. There are literally thousands of sites that give you links to sign up for free samples, many of which are of the makeup, skin care and perfume variety. Not sure you want to buy that new face cream? Afraid you will be wasting your money if it's no good? If you get a free sample and don't like it that will prevent you from buying a full-size container that you will end up throwing away. Many of these freebies also come with coupons for future purchases, saving you even more. It's like money in the bank.
3. Learn to give yourself a manicure- You don't have to spend your hard-earned cash at a nail salon. You can pamper yourself at home by buying a home-manicure kit. There are many available at your local drugstore, and they all come with easy instructions. For the price of one manicure plus tip, you can buy a kit that will last you several months. Plus, you can do it at any hour that is convenient, not just when the salon is open.
4. Use ice water when you shave- No, you aren't going to be throwing frigid water over your legs! But rinsing your razor in a cup of ice water will keep your razor sharp. The longer a razor stays sharp, the more use you get out of it. In some cases, they can last up to twice as long. With the price of good razors and cartridge refills these days, that can add up to big bucks in a very short amount of time.
5. Don't condition everyday- Though the labels on shampoo and conditioners will urge you to do differently, don't condition your hair daily. Every other shower or twice a week will do. Conditioning everyday can weigh hair down, and make your shampoo less effective at cleansing. Halving the amount of conditioning sessions will cut down on your shopping list and save you money.
6. Buy some vinegar- Vinegar is one of the most versatile ingredients known to man. It can be used to fight dandruff and dry scalp when mixed with equal parts warm water. A rinse of this with equal parts cold water will make your hair shine without expensive shine serums. A tablespoon in 8 ounces of water makes an excellent toner for your skin. A cup in your laundry's rinse cycle makes your whites brighter, making your favorite clothes last longer. The possibilities are endless!
7. Skip the traditional hairsprays- Making your own hair spray at home is easy! Simply add two tablespoons of sugar to a 12-ounce spray bottle filled with water. Shake until the sugar dissolves, and you have an all-natural hair spray for pennies! There is no unpleasant scent, and no alcohol to dry out your hair (which could lead to more costly treatments down the line). If you require a firmer hold, simply add another spoon of sugar.
8. Find a barber or beauty college- Students at these schools pass their tests based on work done on actual people, not mannequins or wigs. If you agree to sit for them, you can often get a haircut, coloring, perm or more absolutely free! They work under the supervision of a licensed professional, so there is no need to panic about the outcome. Simply look in your phonebook and call to enquire about signing up for the next testing session.
9. Use a lip brush- No matter what kind of container your lipsticks and glosses come in, apply them with a lip brush. You will be amazed at how much longer your tubes will last. There is no need for blotting (and therefore wasting) any lipstick, and when you are down to the last bits you can't normally get to, a lip brush can still get four or five more applications from it! Using less and using it all makes for money saved!
10. Use your pantry to fight skin problems- Had a few pimples pop up on you? Before you reach for that costly drugstore cure, dab a bit of toothpaste on it and leave on overnight. For blackheads, mix equal parts plain, instant oatmeal with honey and make a paste. Massage into skin for seven minutes and rinse. Your skin problems will disappear, instead of your money.

"Bumblebee" (2018) | How Spielberg added heart to a machine
Yeah, Bumblebee came out months ago (which was a very nice Christmas present, I may add). No, this isn't a review. This still doesn't stop me from being obsessed and urging people to go see it. It's been many moons since a movie pulled my heartstrings enough to get the waterworks going. When the trailer first came out, I was ecstatic. Immediately I went to the comments to find my excitement paralleled by so many others. One comment stuck out to me: "This trailer has more heart than all five Transformers movies combined…" I grew up with the Transformers franchise–my mom used to say I knew the whole script of Shia LaBeouf's 2007 adaptation–and this movie stood out to me more than the original Transformers saga.
Despite Bumblebee's predecessors, Michael Bay only helped produced this movie as a prequel and gave the reigns over to Travis Knight (director of Kubo and the Two Strings) as the director and Spielberg as the executive producer. Yes, Steven Spielberg. The director of cinematic classics, such as The Goonies, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, B.F.G, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, the Indiana Jones series and do I say more? His ability and compassion for telling stories capture moviegoers, which is technically his trademark. He digs deep and tries to make movie topics and characters relatable to whoever may be watching.
It's a great, character-driven movie about grieving and coping with loss that's set in 1987. In it, the subject of parental loss emotionally connects Bumblebee with Hailee Steinfeld's character, Charlie. Albeit, his loss may not be parental, but he's alone on a new planet and scared. To start, this loss in Charlie's life stopped her from actively socializing with her family and caused her to refrain from participating in once-loved sports. The only thing she persisted on was fixing up the 1977 Chevy Camaro her and her father once drove (seem familiar? What was Bee at the beginning of Transformers (2007)? All just a subtle hint toward their relationship). It piqued her interest in cars and her mechanical knowledge, which led to her helping Bee with his voice box. (Yes, he's still talking through a radio, but we at least learn why.) We also learn where Bumblebee acquired his name.
Throughout the movie, he encourages her to get out of her shell, and so she does before retreating in. She overcomes her fear in the end for Bee. Another relationship builder and low-key spoiler but she teaches him how to teepee and egg someone's house with more fun shenanigans ensuing. Their relationship by the end was heartwarming and it made me jealous. Who knows? Maybe this character development is why Bee was able to develop such a close bond with Sam in the future? This is what gives a movie heart, especially for a machine: the character interactions as they help each other through dark times and battling each other's demons. Spielberg and Knight knew this and knew it was needed to save the Transformers franchise.
It helps that the action scenes were also well choreographed, meaning there weren't random explosives going off–looking at you Michael Bay–making it easy on the viewer to understand what was happening. Honestly, the only thing that miffed me about the movie was John Cena's acting. Like…Spielberg…we know you like giving chances to underrated actors and newcomers, but I'm sure we could have made an exception.

Hey, I'm Marie!
Montreal QC | Member since December 2017
About Marie Santos
Hi everyone!
My name is Marie and I am a modern impressionist and energy artist in Oil, Acrylic and Watercolor
It seems that art and my spiritual side has always been a part of my life. I used to read tarot and mediumship readings professionally and also owned my own art company. Pivotal events happened that pulled me to concentrate on my artwork full time and to merge both my spiritual healing gifts in my artwork.
I find much fulfillment in combining my spiritual side in all my artwork to portray that there is beauty in all things and an invisible connection to us and every living thing.
I have always loved impressionism and almost never paint in realistic colors. I love color and how color makes ever artwork become more lively and joyful.
My aim is to spread joy, happiness, hope and love with my artistic and spiritual gifts.

text: It seems that when I copy settings, it also copies the crop from the previous photos. In Lightroom Classic you could deselect that, but I don't see that as an option when I copy on Mobile. Which of the options would include the crop? Most of the time I don't want to copy the crop. I'm hoping that not copying that would also not prevent me from copying other things.

In this digital age, technology makes it incredibly difficult to enjoy a green lifestyle. It can be such a challenge to switch off your devices and live in the moment. However, there are so many benefits to doing just that. Not only will you be helping the environment, but you will also be helping yourself. If you are a tech wiz who needs some encouragement, you should work your way through the following four steps. Hopefully, they will assist you on your journey towards a tech-free lifestyle. Even if you only manage to cut down on your use of technology slightly, this could still make a huge difference to your carbon footprint.
Find plenty of tech-free activities to enjoy
The first tip is to find plenty of tech-free activities to enjoy. If you are completely hooked on your technology, it might be a good idea to find direct alternatives to the activities that you would usually access via your digital devices. For instance, if you love to play adrenaline-fueled games, you should consider visiting an Escape Room Washington DC way. A fun Escape Room game is the perfect opportunity for you to enjoy an adrenaline rush without having to rely on your technology. You might even find that this experience is superior, as you will have the added benefit of being there in person.
Actually meet up with your loved ones
The next tip is to actually meet up with your loved ones. Although technology is a great tool for staying in touch with your nearest and dearest, it also reduces the likelihood of face to face communications. Being able to communicate effectively and honestly is an essential life skill, so you should seriously consider going back to basics. Why not ask one of your closest friends to meet you for a drink or drive the extra mile to see your elderly relative? It might feel strange at first if you are used to communicating through technology. However, after a while, you will find yourselves growing closer than ever before.
Visit your local library
Another great idea is to pay a visit to your local library. One of the benefits of finding your reading material online is that most of it is free. However, libraries are also a great place to find interesting and engaging content. Handling physical materials is also a fantastic chance for you to give your eyes a welcome break. Instead of spending your life staring at screens, it is important that you avoid overexposure.
Establish a relaxing bedtime routine
Finally, you need to establish a relaxing bedtime routine. Before you head to bed is another time when you need to cut down on your exposure to technology. In order to achieve a deep sleep, you need to make sure that all of your devices turned off at least two hours before you go to bed. This will give your brain plenty of time to switch off, and it will also help you to create a relaxing environment that is conducive to a night of rest.
