Thanks, Gary.You're listening to Search the Scriptures Daily, a program in which we encourage everyone who desires to know God's truth to look to God's Word for all that is essential for salvation and living one's life in a way that is pleasing to Him.We're discussing Psychology and the Church, which has been the topic for a series of programs we've been doing on psychological counseling and how it's made major in-roads within evangelical Christianity.And, our discussion is based in part upon the content presented in the DVD we produced by the same title, "Psychology and the Church, Critical Questions, Crucial Answers."Now, Dave, we quoted a number of research psychiatrists and psychologists who scrutinized the methods and claims of the practitioners of psychotherapy and determine how effective they are, and we've learned—
And Tom, they are among them, they're checking themselves out, and they have become disillusioned.
Well, one of these research psychiatrists, I'm going to quote him, he says that the techniques used byWestern psychiatrists are, with few exceptions, on exactly the same plane as the techniques used by witch doctors.Now that's a quote from research psychologist E. Fuller Tory, who is just being factual.Now, I have here a very heavy book, for out listening audience this is probably a five, six pounder, okay.It's a very large textbook—well, it'snot a textbook but the title of the book is, The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.It's really the bible of psychotherapy.
That's issue 4 of a 4th edition.
It's the latest edition, edition 4.Now, Dave, this is a very thick—
And it's the latest edition, edition 4, and its also been revised a couple of times.
But it's, as you can see, it's a very thick, very impressive book for a field that a research psychiatrist just likened unto shamanism.
And they're aiming at 2011, DSM 5.
So, how can you have a book like this that's based on, really something that's not scientific?
Tom, I was—the Lord sits me next to interesting people on airplanes, and I was sitting next to a—she wasn't a psychiatrist—psychologist, and she had just come from the latest convention, and she was just mumbling in anger.Because, she says, Now I've got to buy another one.
Another DSM.
Right, and she says, This isn't scientific, they vote on this.
Well, let's get into it a little bit, Dave, I've got some interesting information about the DSM.
Tom, can I go back before the DSM for a moment?
Because I'm going to start in 1952, are you going to go back earlier than that?
I'll go back earlier than that.I don't know whether everybody out there has heard this, I think I've mentioned it a time or two, or maybe put it in The Berean Call.But there was a very serious psychiatric disorder that was cured by the Civil War.It was called, Drapetomania, and it was rampant in those days, it affected only one class of people, slaves.And the symptoms—I'm being serious now—the symptoms of this psychiatric disorder, mental aberration, this mental disorder, were an overwhelming urge to escape the plantation.And what do you know, the Civil War cured that one!
Dave, we laugh, but this clinical psychologist that you sat next to, this is such a system that, you know, and I make no apologies for this, it's almost fraudulent really.
It is.
Well, let's start with this.
Tom, I'm sorry to keep interrupting, but you've got the book and you've got all the facts over there, you remember, 1974, the annual meeting there in San Francisco.We mentioned that all week?
We've mentioned it, but let's use that as a punch line here.
Okay, okay, all right, okay.
Because people aren't going to believe it if we jump out with it.Well, let's build up to it, that's what I'm getting at.
All right, okay.
1952, the American Psychiatric Association, again, produced this book called the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, and more commonly called the DSM, the first edition listed 107 mental disorders.Remember, this is the manual of mental disorders.
Right, right.
That's 1952.
That's quite a few.
Right.The list—
Tom, I keep interrupting, but I remember, we used to go to the insane asylum, it was called, Patton, I remember the name of it, and we would go there to give out tracts, and in those days you just had one diagnosis.You were crazy or you weren't!
Let me say this for our listeners.Look, we'renot trying to mock this, and certainly—
It's hard not to, Tom.
I know it is, but at the same time we know people go through issues of life, depression and so on and so forth.Dave, maybe for some of our listeners, they don't know, I'm particularly compassionate with regard to people who are diagnosed with mental illnesses, because my father was a psychiatrist.I grew up in the psychiatric community, I mean, I've lived with these people.So, it's not that we're not empathetic here, but there's something beyond this that just makes you angry almost.Well, I know it makes you angry!Well, 1968, from 1952 to 1968, the mental disorders grew to 182; to 265 in 1980; to 292 in 1987, and today's count based on this DSM 4, 374 mental disorders.Now, let's pick a few here, okay.
Well Tom, have we been getting crazier, or did we have a lot of people who weren't really that bad off, running around and everybody thought they were normal, or is it that only these guys can decide who is normal and who isn't?
Well, you know what we hear, we hear, Well, wait a minute, Dave, life's becoming more complex.I mean, back in 1952 things were kind of dull and boring, right?
Tom, why don't you explain why they have this, because you don't get insurance coverage unless you're in there.
I think they're going to see that by some of the 374 items, the mental disorders they are placed in.
And expanding the number expands the influence of psychiatrists over society,
I think people are going to come to that conclusion, Dave.First of all we have—let's start with oppositional defiant disorder.
That's ODD, it's very odd.
Well, let's see here.It pertains to a child or adult who demonstrates—I'm quoting from the book—hostile behavior toward authority figures.The symptoms include losing one's temper, arguing with adults, deliberately doing things that will annoy other people, and blaming others for his or her own mistakes or misbehavior.Whoa!I mean, come on, Dave, you had four kids, I've had five kids, any of them demonstrate any of these along the line?
Well, of course, some of them, sometimes.
Well, when you were in a work place, would you have any people like that?
It's just actually pretty normal abnormal behavior that you see all the time, but we never called it a mental disorder, we just called it—actually what it is, it's the flesh, the Bible calls it, selfishness.
So what you are saying, Dave, is ODD would open the door, what you said earlier, to lots of people needing this kind of help.
Yeah, I don't know if you have a quote there, but who was it that said, You have the right to be a really obnoxious person on the job.If you're not that bad you don't get any rights, but if you're really outrageous, then your rights kick in and they have special privileges for you, and your employer has to make a special provision.
Dave, as you know, in past programs, I mean, we wrote about this in The Seduction of Christianity, and I'm talking about self-love, self-esteem and we've underscored on these programs how the cornerstone of humanistic psychology, but pretty much all of the psychotherapies is self.Now, we've got a problem, Dave, because the DSM lists Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and that's a mental dysfunction of those who ironically nurture their self-esteem beyond the norm set by psychology.
Well, how does psychology have the right to set this norm?And of course, we've got a basic problem with self-esteem, which we have talked about in the past.
Well, in our DVD, Psychology in the Church, Critical Questions, Crucial Answers, we have Dr. Martin and Deidre Bobgan, we have Dr. Tana Dineen, and I will just give you some insights from them from the DVD.Deidre talks about shyness.Shyness is in this book, the DSM.
Of course.
But they label it, Social Anxiety Disorder.
Tom, I'll say they are very good at coming up with names and labels.
I guess so.In 2004, Dave, this is from, again, our DVD, Psychology in the Church, Crucial Questions, Critical Answers, Dr. Tana Dineen, clinical psychologist, but she's left the occupation—she wrote a book called, Manufacturing Victims—incredible book, and we'll probably talk about it on our next program or two.Anyway, she says on the DVD:In 2004 there was a Canada's statistic survey.Canada did a survey of the entire Canadian population, and they determined that two million people are suffering debilitating shyness, which is now defined as a Social Anxiety Disorder.And she goes on to say the big problem with this, according to the psychologists is that maybe, because of the shyness a person didn't get the right job, maybe it affected their marriage.I mean, on and on, this has become just shyness has become the root of major problems in their lives.
Well, of course it all leads to psychiatric help, Tom, for which they have to pay a fee, but they don't really pay it, the insurance company will pay it, the government will back it up, and this is growth industry.
Based on this book, I'm a little concerned about you.You see, if a person has an antagonistic view of psychological counseling—
—refusing to subject himself to therapy, he's classified in this book, as suffering with non-compliance with treatment disorder.
—and that's Code V15.81.Now, let's say you show up, and you've got this issue in your life and it's not covered by this.Now we've got a problem, Dave.
Very deep problem, because I can't pay for it.
You can't pay for it.
I need some insurance.
You need some insurance.Dave, you're covered!There is unspecified mental disorder, which we can, you know, it has a number, and it can be sent in to your insurance.
Well, that's good news!
Well, it's good news, bad news, Dave, this is bad news, all of this is bad news. Well, we're subject to what:Psychology, you know, what's normal in psychology is basically whatever the psychologist says, what's abnormal is whatever the psychologist might say is abnormal, and if they can get it into a book like this, it's covered.Now, I've set you up for what you what you were about to say earlier.How do they decide, in this big, thick book, how do they decide from anorexia nervosa, all the way to Z, I'm sure they've got one in there for Z, how do they decide those things, Dave?
Well, they decide it by a vote, of course, and they decide it by how profitable it will be, but there are also circumstantial decisions that must be made, or decisions based on circumstances.Tom, you remember in 1974 they had their annual convention in San Francisco.Of course that's kind of the headquarters for homosexuals, lesbians, they call themselves "gay"—they ruined a good word that we had back there—but for some time there had been pressure from the homosexual community to—well, the DSM had listed it as a mental disorder, and there was pressure to get it out of there.Tom, you've got the statistics in front of you, I don't remember exactly, but they changed it.There was real pressure, in fact I remember a psychiatrist who was present told me that the homosexual community was going to get violent.Number one they were going to cut off electricity to where the convention was being held.
Right there at the hotel.
Right, and under that pressure they had another vote.I'm sure you've got the statistics there, I think it was 5,000 and something to 3,000 and something, it wasn't quite unanimous by a long shot but they changed the classification from what to what, Tom?
Well, from a deviant abnormal behavior to a sexual preference.
Right, and then they took it out altogether.
Right.I don't know how anybody by any stretch of the imagination could call that scientific, Dave.You know, again, we're moving into the realm of fraud.
Tom, I get a little sarcastic.You know, what about this gravity thing they are talking about?Well, let's get all the scientists together and let's vote on it.You can't make a science, as we've said, on human behavior, and they are trying to do that.They are trying to be scientific, but this is not a science, and Tom, the most grievous part is that, well, it's grievous, number one, but almost the whole society follows this just like sheep, like lemmings.Now, another thing that we have not mentioned, I think, about psychology is that this is really a great vehicle for Antichrist.This is an ecumenism like no other ecumenism, this is not just getting religions together, but it does, Catholics and Protestants speak the same psychological language, so do Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses and Buddhists and Hindus and Muslims, it's amazing, and so they think this is the new universal language.
And Dave, it's a religion, there's no doubt about it, it has a priesthood and asyou are saying, the common language is acceptable to everyone, it's based upon self, I mean, all these things contribute to what you're saying.
I have often called psychology "Satan's master stroke of genius."He couldn't have come up with anything better.And I know that's angering some people out there, maybe they've already turned us off, but Tom, we're not making this up, we are simply giving the facts.Now you've got this DSM and it keeps growing and growing and growing.If this was really—if ODD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, if that really was a serious mental aberration, mental disorder, if that really was the serious mental disorder that they now say it is, why does it take them so long to figure this out, or is this just something new.Wow, some germs are flying around and people keep getting more mental disorders.Just from that standpoint, Tom, it's ludicrous!
Dave, we began this program by talking about the inroads that this has made into the church, this is where it's easy to get angry.Dave, I'm looking at an ad which was placed in the American Psychological Association Monitor, the ad was placed by Pat Robertson's RegentUniversity.The ad begins this way—first of all, you have a picture of the DSM with the Bible sitting on top of it, it says:Read any good books lately?The DSM 4 and the holy Bible belong together on the book shelves of any future psychologists who desires to treat the whole person, body, mind and spirit.That's outrageous, Dave!
Now Tom, apparently psychologists are the only ones who are competent to treat body, mind and spirit.Now most—well, psychology started out with a denial of mind and spirit.Mind is non physical, spirit is non physical with the medical model of Freud.We were stimulus response mechanisms—B. F. Skinner's behavioristic psychology.Now they're into mind and spirit.What do they know about spirit?I'd like to ask these psychiatrists. Did you get a degree in spirituality?What do you mean, you are treating spirits?But Tom, the picture shows the Bible on top of the DSM.Actually it should be reversed, because the DSM has rewritten the Bible.This situation we have today, Christian psychology so called, by the way, we ought to talk about this in another program. Who brought it into the church?It was Norman Vincent Peale who on national radio said:"You don't need to be born again, I found eternal peace in a Shinto Shrine."And Phil Donahue, who was at that time interviewing him said—he was shocked—"well, you're a minister, aren't you supposed to tell me that Jesus Christ is THE way, THE truth and THE life?"Peale said:"Jesus Christ is one of the ways, there are many ways to God."Now this is a man who brought this whole thing into the church.He started with a psychiatric clinic, Smiley Blanton, who was a Freudian psychologist, and one of his claims to fame was—I forget the exact years that he had been psychoanalyzed by Freud himself four times, three successive years, I think '37, '38 and '39, I don't remember, but it's around that time.Now Tom, doesn't that give you great confidence, and the whole evangelical church withstood him for decades!They said, This is not right, you can't let psychology into the church.And finally, he prevailed, and we need to talk a little bit—
Well, we'll bring it right up to today, Dave.The most influential man in the evangelical church without a doubt, is Dr. James Dobson, psychologist Dr. James Dobson, so this is where we are.

The Household Fallacy
Roger Farmer, Pawel Zabczyk
NBER Working Paper No. 24393
We refer to the idea that government must 'tighten its belt' as a necessary policy response to higher indebtedness as the household fallacy. We provide a reason to be skeptical of this claim that holds even if the economy always operates at full employment and all markets clear. Our argument rests on the fact that, in an overlapping-generations (OLG) model, changes in government debt cause changes in the real interest rate that redistribute the burden of repayment across generations. We do not rely on the assumption that the equilibrium is dynamically inefficient, and our argument holds in a version of the OLG model where the real interest rate is always positive.

Customization in the can: Coca-Cola procures an individual setup for its canning line in Karlsruhe
Thanks to the experience gleaned through various past projects Coca-Cola European Partners is convinced of the quality of KHS system technology. The company thus recently made the conscious decision to again ask KHS to engineer a fully customized canning line for its production site in Karlsruhe, Germany. While carrying out the extensive order KHS scored points for its precise coordination of the individual machines and lines, enabling the customer to make considerable savings in cost, energy and resources.
Pull the can tab, wait for the fizz and then drink it ice cold: for many, this is quintessential Coca-Cola enjoyment. The general demand for liquid refreshment in cans is on the rise once again, for which there are a number of reasons. Besides the much-loved fizz they make when opened cans are extremely light, easy to hold and offer all-round protection from light and oxygen, thus keeping their contents fresh for an exceptionally long time. The can of today also demonstrates environmental properties which are greatly improved compared to its predecessors; so much material is now saved in its manufacture that the can wall is thinner than a hair. It also has a very high recycling rate of almost 100%.
The renewed surge in demand recently prompted Coca-Cola European Partners or CCEP to commission a new canning line from KHS for its facilities in Karlsruhe, Germany, with a capacity of up to 120,000 cans per hour. This allows the company to be even more flexible in its operations here; after all, for Coca-Cola Germany is one of the most important markets in Europe.
CCEP wanted a turnkey canning line tailored to the specific requirements of the biggest beverage producer in the world. It markets over 80 products in all of the non-alcoholic beverage segments: besides Coca-Cola and soda pop these also include spritzers, juice, water, sports and energy drinks and various tea and coffee beverages. Depending on the product the beverages are sold in carbonated and non-carbonated form, calorie reduced or sugar free. The spectrum is large – as are the demands made of the quality of the filling and packaging systems.
The entire KHS order aspired to coordinate and interlink the individual machines and systems on the canning line with one another to the best possible extent. The starting point for the undertaking was a convincing reference setup already up and running at Coca-Cola in Marseille, France. The line in Karlsruhe is more complex, however, especially in the packing and palletizing section with its three packaging machines, two palletizers and additional quarter pallet processing unit.
In addition, CCEP required a pasteurizer to ensure the microbiological safety of its beverages. This is not necessary for classic Coca-Cola beverages but essential when it comes to energy drinks. As the company also fills energy drinks in Karlsruhe in the form of the Monster brand, the pasteurizer was to be added as a retrofit should the product be filled on the same line in the future. This challenge was successfully met by KHS, with its specialists readily applying their expertise to include an Innopas PIISC tunnel pasteurizer in the new plant engineering. Furthermore, if required the thermal container treatment unit can be accessed not only by the canning line but also by a glass line which can master up to 60,000 bottles per hour.
"This was a big project for both sides. The cooperative partnership on both sides has helped make this project a success."
Robert Fast, Sales Germany, KHS
One positive side effect of the new technical setup is that it includes an energy-saving concept, with the water from the empty can rinser collected and reused for the pasteurizer. This helps Coca-Cola to cut costs, save resources and be gentler on the environment. Another plus point of the pasteurizer is that it needs fewer chemicals than in the standard procedure. These are saved by the use of ionized air in the process water.
Further highlights of the specially designed line CCEP is now profiting from include the parallel processing of two different stock-keeping units which can produce six-packs and ten-packs at the same time, for instance, and the gas heater in the shrink tunnel which can cut energy costs by up to 75%.

Chart of the Day: AUDUSD
Right now it's all eyes on USDCNH and the daily CNY (yuan) "fix" by the People's Bank of China, which takes place every day at 11:15 AEST. While we can debate that risk assets, such as equities, were oversold anyhow, the fact the PBoC refrained from significantly depreciating the yuan yesterday when it came to setting the midpoint of USDCNY was enough of a catalyst to compel traders to cover some of their defensive trading positions. (You can learn more about the fix through the working paper titled "Recent RMB policy and currency co-movements" by the Bank for International Settlements.)
With USDCNH finding better sellers, the world breathed a sigh of relief, but out of the woods we aren't. USDCNH remains central to broader market movements. AUDUSD is interesting, as Australia's fundamentals matter little at present. The pair is closely tracking USDCNH, with traders seeing the AUD as a G10 FX proxy of the trade tensions. For context, the daily correlation coefficient between AUDUSD and USDCNH over the past six months (using the exchange rate value, as opposed to percentage move) is -0.80. So, statistically, 80% of the variance in the AUDUSD can be explained by USDCNH. That's significant.
We can also see two interesting factors. Firstly, the AUDUSD is testing the December flash crash low, and one'd expect some support to kick in here. Secondly, there's divergence between price, which has formed a lower low and the RSI that's printed a higher low. We need the price to prove itself, but divergence can be a powerful reversal indicator. That's one to watch. But unless we see a sustained move lower in USDCNH and better trending conditions in global equities, traders will use strength in AUDUSD as a selling opportunity.

Today, Catholic Christians celebrate the Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time.
On this day, we hear many words of wisdom about the concept of the law and obedience to the law.
In the Book of Sirach, for example, we read, "If you choose you can keep the commandments, they will save you" (Sirach 15: 15). In the Psalm, we read, "Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the Lord" (Psalm 119: 1-2).
And in the Gospel passage for today, Jesus reminds us, "Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter will pass form the law, until all things have taken place. Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 5: 17-19).
As Christians, however, we are called to take a rational approach to law. Unfortunately, many people have had difficulty with the concept of "law" through the centuries. Some have resisted the law and deliberately chosen to disobey the law. Others have taken an opposite extreme by worshiping laws as though laws were gods. When we worship laws, however, our spiritual vision can become so distorted, that we can't see the forest for the trees. That is what we see in the following story.
In the late Nineteenth Century and early Twentieth Century, there lived a man named Arthur Conan Doyle. In addition to being a physician, he was also a masterful writer of murder mysteries. He is most famous for creating the fictional character, Sherlock Holmes, a private detective who had amazing powers of reasoning to solve even the most baffling of cases. His faithful assistant, Dr. Watson, always tried very hard to help Sherlock solve the mysteries, but poor Dr. Watson continually failed in his efforts.
This story takes place in merry old England. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson go on a camping trip. After setting up camp, they enjoyed a good meal and a fine bottle of wine and then went to sleep in their tent.
Sometime during the night, Sherlock Holmes woke, nudged Dr. Watson, and said, "Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see."
"I see millions and millions of stars," replied Watson.
"And what does that tell you?" asked Sherlock.
"Well, astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I figure that the time is approximately a quarter past three in the morning. Theologically, I can see that God is all-powerful and that we are small and insignificant parts of his creation. Meteorologically, I suspect that it will be a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you, Holmes?"
"Watson," replied Holmes, "you are an idiot! When I look up and see the stars in the nighttime sky, I see that someone has stolen our tent while we were sleeping!"
Like Dr. Watson, you and I sometimes miss the most obvious things we should focus on when examining God's law and how we should apply it in our daily lives. When we lose vision, we can wander in winding paths that get us nowhere.
From the Scripture passages of today, and from the story of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, we can glean many things. Here are just three.
First, laws are norms that are written down. Norms are principles or standards of conduct. The purpose of laws should be to help us live in an orderly world, making our lives easier. By having agreed-upon laws, we become free from continually having to make decisions in our daily lives. For example, we have a law that says we should stop our car when the traffic light is red. Because we know this, and because everyone agrees on this, we don't have to decide what to do every time we approach a red traffic light. In the spiritual life, laws help us keep on track toward sainthood, our ultimate goal.
Second, we always need to distinguish the difference between the letter of the law and the spirit of the law. The "letter of the law" refers to the strict and exact language with which the law is written. The "spirit of the law," on the other hand, refers to the reason the law was made in the first place.
In days long ago, hospitals used to have a rule that all visitors needed to be out of the hospital by 8 p.m. That rule was the "letter of the law." The reason it was put into place was to allow patients to get sufficient rest. That reason is called the "spirit of the law." Nurses discovered, however, that often patients – especially children – would become hysterical and inconsolable when their parents would leave for the night. When this happened, the patients not only did not get rest, they only made their conditions worse. Thus, though the letter of the law was observed, the spirit of the law was violated.
This brings us to number three. On our spiritual journey, we must always determine the spirit of the law and follow that. For example, during Lent, Catholic Christians give up meat on Fridays. The purpose of this is to make a sacrifice, to show that the spirit is stronger than the body. So a person who gives up eating a one-dollar hamburger on Friday during Lent, and substitutes a fifty-dollar lobster tail dinner with champagne in its place, is violating the spirit of the law.
As we continue our life journeys this week, it would be a good idea to reflect on how we see divine law. How does it help us on our spiritual journeys?
And that is the good news I have for you on this Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time, 2017.

The names of the people who made monetary aid for the construction of the temple are written on the epigraphs on the columns. Five rows of the city theatre, which is surrounded by olive trees, are visible. You will see an explanatory sign in front of the temple. There is also a toilet. The temple is considered to be built after the Hadrian Period. If you walk around the slopes across the temple (towards west), you can see the ruins of the city walls.

ISIS plans to cross the Mediterranean from North Africa and attack Europe, according to Quilliam, an anti-terrorism British think tank.
The invasion force will land on Italy's southernmost island of Lampedusa and invade other ports in southern Europe, the group claims, citing letters allegedly written by Abu Arhim al-Libim, an Islamic State propagandist.
The propagandist supposedly said Libya has "immense potential" for ISIS.
According to The Telegraph, ISIS fighters will conquer Libya and use it as a "gateway" into Europe.
Libya "has a long coast and looks upon the southern Crusader states, which can be reached with ease by even a rudimentary boat," Abu Arhim al-Libim wrote.
"The jihadists hope to flood the north African state with militiamen from Syria and Iraq, who will then sail across the Mediterranean posing as migrants on people trafficking vessels, according to plans seen by Quilliam, the British anti-extremist group," Ruth Sherlock writes for the British newspaper.
The Italian government estimates at least 200,000 refugees and immigrants will cross from Libya to Sicily and Lampedusa.
In 2014 more than 170,000 migrants, including a large number of Syrian refugees, arrived in Italy by boat.
During an ISIS video purportedly showing the beheading of Coptic Christians in Libya, a masked man with an American accent declared "we will conquer Rome, by Allah's permission, the promise of our Prophet, peace be upon him."
Invasion Plot Discovered by Neocon Think Tank
The Quilliam Foundation is a London-based think tank focusing on "counter-extremism" and Islamism. The group is linked to the Council on Foreign Relations and the Henry Jackson Society.
The Henry Jackson Society is supported by a number of neocons, including Max Boot of the Council on Foreign Relations, William Kristol, Robert Kagan, David Frum, Joshua Muravchik, and former director James Woolsey.
It has also worked with Carl Gershman, head of the National Endowment for Democracy, and the late Max Kampelman, a retired U.S. diplomat who supported the work of Freedom House and the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs.
The National Endowment for Democracy specializes in color revolutions and undermining governments out of favor with the global elite. Allen Weinstein, a member of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), who served as NED's acting president during its first year, told the Washington Post in 1991 "a lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA."

I don't recall if I ever posted this or not but I am compelled to share this testimony.
In 1999 I came across a website of a man who seemed to have a new fresh understanding of Scripture. He was quite wordy and had no clue about grammar or properly formatted paragraphing, but I admit something in his wall of words attracted me. I guess it was partly timing. I was hungry for higher understanding and weary of religiosity and he seemed to have a handle on a simpler interpretation. Although, once he was able to garner a following his interpretations went far afield of 'simple'.
Long story short - I ended up volunteering to edit for him his many many words and helped him publish a book. Since I lived several states away I wasn't involved in the day to day business of his growing 'ministry' so I like to believe I might have bailed sooner than I did if I had been able to see the truth about this little big man. When I jumped ship ten years later, after he had built himself a small empire and his true self-righteous Napoleonic nature was revealed to me, I repented and asked for forgiveness for being an instrument in helping this man deceive so many.
It's been ten years since I left - and over this decade many others eyes were opened and they left his now fully established cult as well. But I admit, for the tough experience I had by being a part of the rise of this example of how many ways satan can manipulate what seems so good, I can say that I am well trained to spot this kind of wolf in sheep clothing. Whenever I see the signs I feel compelled to speak out.
Even though satan has all sorts of tricks, the most common being the delusion of self-righteousness, there are repeating formulas, if you know what to look for. Although there are many other signs, I think the most important can be identified in eight particular attributes:
- Call to perfection as a condition that can only be defined by him
- Demand to be seen as ultimate translator of Scripture
- Uses Scripture like a weapon
- Perceives himself to be holy
- Cannot be corrected or accept that he could be wrong
- Believes he alone hears from God
- Believes all thoughts he has are from God
- Adroit and skilled at the art of gently rebuking any challenger
For Him, Meema

Predictors of psychological well-being, academic self-efficacy and resilience in university students, and their impact on academic motivation

Compared to the general population, higher education students report elevated levels of psychological distress, with symptoms of and criteria for serious mental illness also being higher. Tertiary education marks a time in life of high levels of change and stress. Despite these difficulties, many students continue to succeed in their studies. One factor that has been shown to contribute to, and predict academic success is motivation. The current study aims to explore factors which contribute to psychological well-being, academic self-efficacy and resilience in students and their impact on motivation. Victoria University students (N=163) completed a survey of demographic questions and a variety of measures including locus of control, spirituality, perceived stress, academic self-efficacy, psychological well-being, resilience and motivation. Regression analyses using the bootstrapped method were conducted to explore relationships. Psychological well-being, academic self-efficacy and resilience jointly predicted motivation. Individually, however, academic self-efficacy, depression and resilience each contributed to extrinsic motivation; depression, academic self-efficacy, resilience and stress each predicted amotivation; while only academic self-efficacy was a significant predictor of intrinsic motivation. Lower scores on perception of stress were predicted by an internal locus of control and higher levels of spirituality, while higher levels of perceived stress were predictive of lower levels of psychological well-being. Perception of stress was a significant mediator between locus of control and psychological well-being, as well as spirituality and psychological well-being. Depression also mediated the relationship between perception of stress and amotivation. Measurement issues and implications of the findings are discussed.

Whew. The retreat this weekend wiped me out – and I wasn't even an 'official' leader this time. There were some really cool kids that I got to meet this weekend.. with some crazy names. Kenia, Adan, Naamen. I'm just guessing on the spelling because I never actually saw them written down. I also did a good job of promoting (evangelising?) Apple on the retreat. I was just diddling around with Garageband and then few kids started to wonder what I was doing. Pretty soon, half the kids were wanting a Apple so they could make their own music. heh heh.
Sue will have the pictures up later – I'll link them once they're up.

Several different types of mics are offered for several applications. Obviously microphones are employed for speakers and singers but they're also employed for certain instruments. Vocal microphones should have built-in wind screens. It can earn a keyboard as an example sound synthetic and too electronic.
You should select the amp that will permit you to personalize the room you have put it in because you don't understand what your future holds. Keyboard amplifiers and monitors are available in a number of sizes, therefore it ought to be relatively easy to discover ones that suit your requirements. This amp involves a complete bunch of crazy dials and wah-wah pedals. In other words, it boogies! Don't forget that every monitor mix will call for distinct amps and graphic EQ's.
Amplifiers are a fundamental region of the system. Most amplifiers utilize a spring" type reverb that may sound ringy and lo-fi. Most amplifiers from respectable companies have good performance inside their power ratings. To start with, you really have the acoustic amplifier. Add its special styling (and of course the capacity to swap tubes), and you receive an amplifier very worthy of an audition.
What You Don't Know About Piano Amp
Decide which region of the audio industry you're interested in and passionate about. It doesn't obscure the musical performance or mask an excessive amount of detail. Whenever you're thinking of keyboard amplifier models, one particular thing to be sure of is you have the types of inputs you are going to want for the gear you wish to plug in, and you have enough of them. The less costly models like the Peavey KB1 may be used for individual practice. Overall it's an amazing chain of pedals, with lots of of potential. Deluxe collection The Deluxe collection also has two options. Hearing movies by means of this amp was a great deal of fun.
The Ultimate Strategy for Piano Amp
Some are arrangements of current pieces, while some are composed for Quintet. You might not know a lot about either instrument, and your head might be full of dozens of questions. Some might want to send a variety of instruments throughout the system, which will place more demand on the computer system. It can really be applied to numerous instruments with terrific outcomes. To find the best results, you must connect an electric instrument like a guitar or a keyboard straight to your iPad. This merchandise is out there to generate the distinct along with pure resonance related to the acoustic guitar.
Reverb is a superb effect for vocals. Reverb will appear to create the room sound larger. Zoom pedals make it simple to alter the degree of distortion with a very simple knob. It is going to have knob called balance, that needs to be kept straight up.
Life, Death and Piano Amp
If you're playing solo or with a little ensemble, you are probably going to need less wattage. It's possible to try out going cheaper with a number of the Yamaha P-series pianos. The Piano Bass was still available in this moment, though it didn't sell nearly in addition to the Suitcase and Stage models. The sound is actually rich at the purchase price. Should you not require loud sound it's the best way to go. How you capture a sound or instrument is part of the manufacturing, meaning how you set up and use your mics are going to have huge effect on the remainder of the manufacturing approach. For instance, a singers voice could be enhanced by including a bit of reverb.

Hello to everyone !!!
I hope that you all have been keeping busy with I.T. related things. I have been doing quite a bit of Office 365 work with customers recently, and have been spending a lot of that time setting up ADFS solutions for customers onboarding into the O365 cloud. While that is always exciting work, and technically challenging at times, it does not have to be complicated if you take your time and plan out exactly what you need to do in order to be successful.
To that end, the following checklist will prove to be helpful for those of you staring down the face of a ADFS / O365 integration solution. The checklist will walk you through the logical steps associated with the deployment and integration, as well as providing you links to all of the necessary Microsoft TechNet documentation to support that step.
Checklist: Setting Up a Federation Server
This checklist includes the deployment tasks that are necessary to prepare a server running Windows Server 2008/2008R2 for the federation server role in Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) 2.0.
|You can find additional AD FS 2.0 resource links at the AD FS 2.0 Content Map page on the Microsoft TechNet Wiki. This page is managed by members of the AD FS 2.0 Community and is monitored on a regular basis by the AD FS Product Team.
Checklist: Setting up a federation server
|Before you begin deploying your AD FS 2.0 federation servers, review the; 1.) advantages and disadvantages of choosing either Windows Internal Database (WID) or SQL Server to store the AD FS configuration database 2.) AD FS 2.0 deployment topology types and their associated server placement and network layout recommendations.
|Determine Your AD FS 2.0 Deployment TopologyAD FS 2.0 Deployment Topology Considerations
|Review AD FS 2.0 capacity planning guidance to determine the proper number of federation servers you should use in your production environment.
|Planning for Federation Server Capacity
|Review information in the AD FS 2.0 Design Guide about where to place federation servers in your organization
|Planning Federation Server PlacementWhere to Place a Federation Server
|Determine whether a stand-alone federation server or a federation server farm is better for your deployment.
|When to Create a Federation ServerWhen to Create a Federation Server Farm
|Determine whether this new federation server will be created in the account partner organization or in the resource partner organization.
|Review the Role of the Federation Server in the Account PartnerReview the Role of the Federation Server in the Resource Partner
|Review information about how federation servers use service communication certificates and token-signing certificates to securely authenticate client and federation server proxy requests.
|Certificate Requirements for Federation Servers
|Review information about how to update the corporate network Domain Name System (DNS) so that successful name resolution to federation servers can occur.
|Name Resolution Requirements for Federation Servers
|Join the computer that will become the federation server to a domain in the account partner forest or resource partner forest where it will be used to authenticate the users of that forest or from trusting forests.
|Join a Computer to a Domain
|Create a new resource record in the corporate network DNS that points the DNS host name of the federation server to the IP address of the federation server.
|Add a Host (A) Resource Record to Corporate DNS for a Federation Server
|(Optional) If you will be adding a federation server to a federation server farm, you might have to first export the private key of the existing token-signing certificate (on the first federation server in the farm) so that you have a file format of the certificate ready when other federation servers must import the same certificate.Exporting the private key is not required when your issued server authentication certificate can be reused by multiple computers (without the need to export) or when you will be obtaining unique server authentication certificates for each federation server in the farm.
|Export the Private Key Portion of a Server Authentication Certificate
|After you obtain a server authentication certificate (or private key) from a certification authority (CA), you must then import the certificate file to the default Web site for each federation server.
|Import a Server Authentication Certificate to the Default Web Site
|(Optional) As an alternative to obtaining a server authentication certificate from a CA, you can use Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0 to create a sample certificate for your federation server.
|IIS 7.0: Create a Self-Signed Server Certificate in IIS 7.0 and then complete the procedure Import a Server Authentication Certificate to the Default Web Site
|If you will be configuring a federation server farm environment in an account partner organization, you must create and configure a dedicated service account in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) where the farm will reside and configure each federation server in the farm to use this account. By performing this procedure, you will allow clients on the corporate network to authenticate to any of the federation servers in the farm using Windows Integrated Authentication.
|Manually Configure a Service Account for a Federation Server Farm
|Install the AD FS 2.0 software.
|Install the AD FS 2.0 Software
|Configure the AD FS 2.0 software on the computer to act in the federation server role by using the AD FS 2.0 Federation Server Configuration Wizard.Follow this procedure when you want to set up a stand-alone federation server, create the first federation server in a new farm or join a computer to an existing federation server farm.
|Create a Stand-Alone Federation ServerCreate the First Federation Server in a Federation Server FarmAdd a Federation Server to a Federation Server Farm
|(Optional) Use the AD FS 2.0 Management snap-in to add and configure the necessary AD FS 2.0 certificates required to deploy your design. For more information about when to add or change certificates using the snap-in, see Certificate Requirements for Federation Servers.
|Add a Token-Signing CertificateAdd a Token-Decrypting CertificateSet a Service Communications Certificate
|If this is the first federation server in your organization, configure the Federation Service so that it conforms to your AD FS 2.0 design.
|Checklist: Configuring the Account Partner OrganizationChecklist: Configuring the Resource Partner Organization
|From a client computer, verify that the federation server is operational.

Let's say I have some pointers called:
char * pChar;
int * pInt;
I know they both simply hold memory addresses that point to some other location, and that the types declare how big the memory location is pointed to by the particular pointer. So for example, a char might be the size of a byte on a system, while an int may be 4 bytes.. So when I do:
pChar++; // I am actually incrementing the address pointed to by pChar by 1 byte;
pInt++; // I am actually incrementing the address pointed to by pInt by 4 bytes;
But what if I do this:
pChar+2; // increment the address pointed to by pChar by 2 bytes?
pInt+2; // increment the address pointed to by pInt by 2 bytes? what happens to the other two bytes?
Thanks.. Would appreciate any clarification here.. Is the pointer type simply for the ++ operation?
EDIT: So avp answered my question fittingly, but I have a follow up question, what happens when I do:
Will it copy 2 bytes? or 4 bytes? Will I have an access violation?
EDIT: THe answer, according to Ryan Fox, is 2 bytes, because they are typecasted to a (void*). Thanks! CLOSED!
EDIT: Just so that future searchers may find this.. Another piece of info I discovered..
doesnt copy 2 bytes of the memory block pointed to by pInt+5bytelocations,to pChar+5bytelocations.. what happens is that 2 bytes are copied to pChar+5bytelocations from pInt(4*5)bytelocations.. no wonder I got access violations, I was trying to read off somewhere I wasn't supposed to be reading.. :)

The "hot cake" effect of new build homes.
For many, the luxury of a new build home makes it their preferred property choice. Being the first to own the home, having new and contemporary fixtures and finishes - you can open the door to a blank canvas, ready for you to make your mark. We have seen incredible success as agents of the South Wales residential development of Bedwelty Gardens, in Tredegar.
From launch, the properties have been being reserved like 'hot cakes', and achieving their full asking prices. Flash back to 7am last Saturday, instead of enjoying a weekend lie-in we found our sales office a hive of activity as potential buyers queued to get their hands on one of the eight plots that were due to be released that day. With only 16 plots left on the whole development, buyers knew that they had limited options for securing a home on this desirable site.
This latest release contained the final homes of the following designs in Bedwelty Gardens: the Knightsbridge (one plot), Dorchester (two plots), Salisbury (one plot), and Radleigh (two plots). Completion of build will take place over the next six months. The remaining eight are expected to be released early 2018.
At Bidmead Cook we're proud to be the sole selling agents for the developer Davies Homes, covering their sites not only in Tredegar, but also Nant Seren in Church Village, near Pontypridd, and at Aberaman in Aberdare.
Riverside Court
This stunning retirement development benefits from a 24-hour care line and house manager. Don't let the word 'retirement' fool you, these properties are stylish with high quality fixtures and fittings that you would find in any contemporary home.

(707) 938-0961 for Scales
A word from this scale supplier:
I originated the term ,
"Winery Scales" and "Vineyard Scales" in 1991
It is a custom built scale, made in Santa Rosa CA,
by Santa Rosa Scale MFG, with exact specifications
from me, at Wine Country Balance.
There is almost 1000 pounds
of steel in every one. It is the most durable, scale
built in the world. Sun, Rain, Mud, Concrete , Gravel,
28 degrees, 110 degrees; It works. Set it down; It works. Move it again and again; It works.
30 years later: It still works. Want proof? Come on in to the shop. I'll show ya.
Floor scales: are cheap imitations of Winery Scales; Built with about 250 pounds of mild steel.
They are built to be cheaper; And they are. They are fine on a factory "FLOOR", or loading dock, indoors, but lack the stamina of a Winery Scale. These floor scales are less than 1/2 the price of a Winery Scale. You can buy them in magazines. Sun, Rain, Mud Gravel, Temperature: ..........Fail, Fail, Fail..........
Frilly cables, and electronics: Multiple, exposed load cells:................................ Fail, Fail, Fail..........
Not to mention TRANSPORTING.
Throw this little thing on a flatbed for a trip to another vineyard: and ,yup..."F ", F " F "...........
There are several degrees of quality in differing models of floor scales. Some are pretty good. To be competitive, we stock some, and will warranty them for a season.
About 2005, Some vineyard magazine interviewed me over the phone, and used the term in an article which included my competitors.
Now, several of my competitors use my proprietary term, incorrectly, to entice you to buy a scale from them. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME!
It's like buying a pickup , when a Dump Truck is what you need.
OK, enough ranting from me.

What to Know About WWOOFing Around the World
There are a wide variety of ways to volunteer on farms abroad, but WWOOFing is, perhaps, the most popular. WWOOF is an acronym for Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms; the grassroots organization has been going strong since 1971.
Generally referred to as WWOOFers, the volunteers do roughly four to six hours of work up to six days per week, in exchange for room and board. Through this organization, you can apply to volunteer with hosts all around the world. Currently, WWOOFing is possible in over 60 countries. There are thousands of farms to choose from with an array of offerings, anything from working on a vineyard to weaving.
The majority of options tend to involve manual labor, so don't expect WWOOFing to be a relaxing month on a bucolic pasture. If you want to be a WWOOFer you have to commit to working hard and living in potentially unpleasant conditions that you're not accustomed to. If you do follow through with this educational, character-building experience, you'll likely leave with a new perspective on a culture and lifestyle that might otherwise feel totally foreign.
Just weeks after I graduated high school, I got a membership to WWOOF Ireland. After sending out a few dozen messages to hosts, I got a single response and accepted the farmer's offer. I immediately bought a plane ticket and went to work on a rural vegetable farm in southern Ireland before I started college. Due to my naivety, my experience was ultimately negative, but that doesn't mean I won't give WWOOFing another shot. Through the hardships I faced on that farm, I learned exactly what I need to look for in future hosts. Hopefully, my mistakes will give you some insight on how to choose the right situation for your needs and interests. Always take caution when committing your time and presence to strangers on the internet.
The Benefits of WWOOFing
Volunteering on a farm overseas (or domestically) not only provides you with a free place to stay but with a unique cultural viewpoint from residents of the country in which you are serving. As an individual, you can make a positive impact on the lives of farmers, just as they will to you.
WWOOFing inspired me to turn my brown thumb green. I used to kill cactuses and now I am able to grow my own herbs and keep my small, urban apartment full of lush houseplants. You can practice language skills, learn farming or crafting techniques, and form meaningful bonds with people overseas.
Popular Countries for WWOOFing
It is possible to WWOOF in almost every country on earth, but here are a few of the countries with a wide variety of interesting opportunities.
Sheep, veggies, and green rolling hills all around. Plus, there are around 500 hosts to choose from. Ireland is a pricey country for budget travelers, but WWOOFing can make the trip financially accessible. As an English speaking country, language won't be an issue, but the strong accents in rural areas can be a bit tough to make out at times. The entire country is blanketed with lush greenery and the temperate weather is generally pleasant year round so you can WWOOF during any season without much hassle.
Another hotspot for vineyards as well as olives and beekeeping opportunities. The country is incredibly popular with tourists and honeymooners, but WWOOFing here will give you an entirely different perspective of authentic Italian culture, language, and lifestyle instead of the typical beaten path. You can immerse yourself in winemaking, olive harvesting, or any of the other offerings within this Mediterranean nation.
Costa Rica
A country renowned for their organic farming practices among the South/Central American countries as well as rainforests, beaches, mountains and waterfalls in a tropical climate. You can learn about ecotourism in the best destination for it. Costa Rica is a perfect winter WWOOFing destination.
Plenty of vineyards for all you wine lovers out there! There are well over 1000 hosts in France, making it one of the top countries for WWOOFing. Learn how to bake French bread at a boulangerie, or work on a lavender field in the south. France is a romantic destination for WWOOFers. Imagine bringing your new French baking skills home to share.
Deep in the Himalayas lies a little country with innovative farming methods and a mindful culture. Despite the devastation inflicted on Nepal by the earthquake in 2015, the country is recovering and still accepting WWOOFers. Nepal is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. Mount Everest, the world's tallest mountain, lies on the border, along with hundreds of other alpine summits in the Himalayas.
New Zealand
Another English-speaking nation with a dramatic landscape and unique farming options. Adventurers flock to New Zealand for the array of outdoor activities. You can bungee jump, hike, swim, kayak, climb, surf, scuba dive, raft, and skydive. On top of that, Lord of the Rings fans can visit the hobbit houses. If you're particularly interested in working with livestock and don't mind a long flight, New Zealand is an idyllic setting for volunteering.
South Africa
A thriving aquaculture industry for those of you who have a passion for fishing. Located in the southern hemisphere, the seasons are reversed. Our summer is their winter. Thus, if you want to WWOOF in the summer without sweltering temperatures, South Africa provides a mild climate during our summer months. Going on a safari on an off day sounds pretty neat too.
United States
Hawaii alone has almost 400 hosts! Who wouldn't want to go to Hawaii?! The other benefit of WWOOFing domestically (if you live in the U.S.) is that you might get by without having to pay for a flight. Having access to a vehicle while WWOOFing is also a tremendous luxury. There are a variety of climates and landscapes. With no language barrier to over, the U.S. is an ideal location for a first timer!
What to Consider Before WWOOFing
Before you grab a plane ticket and take off on a WWOOFing adventure, there are a few logistics to keep in mind. If you consider each of these important criteria while browsing destinations and WWOOFing opportunities, you're far more likely to have a positive experience during your time overseas.
1. Where to Go
First, consider language. If you cannot verbally communicate with your hosts, learning from them will be difficult. You're better off volunteering on a farm where at least one of the hosts can speak a language in which you are proficient. If you're an English speaker dead set on WWOOFing in Chile, but can't find an English speaking host, start studying now! Language immersion is incredibly beneficial for acquisition.
You can learn more from WWOOFing than just farming. If you have a country in mind or travel plans already booked, subscribe to that country's WWOOF organization and see what's available. Decide what type of environment you prefer: near or in a city, suburban, rural, or remote. Check the location of each farm before messaging the host.
2. What Type of Work You Want to Do
What are your primary agricultural interests? Do you want to work with animals? Do you want to learn about organic produce, cheese making, bread baking, permaculture?
Solidify your goals before you start messaging hosts. There are so many farms offering unique learning experiences such as fermentation, woodworking, baking or animal rescue. Look into what's out there before you make up your mind. If I had known that I could have gone to France to learn to bake bread, trust me, I would have.
3. Living Situation, Surrounding Area & Other Amenities
In my opinion, WWOOF should enforce some standard rules for living conditions on their hosts' farms. In the absence of these standards, the burden of ensuring the quality experience will fall on you as the WWOOFer.
Communicate with the host. Find out where you will be sleeping and living. Will they have a bicycle for you to borrow? Is there a bed? Do you need a tent? Is there heat? Electricity? Running water? Can you walk to a grocery store, restaurant, bar, or cafe? Go with low expectations. You may have to share a room and bathroom with other volunteers. You won't be pampered, but you shouldn't be suffering either.
During my experience in Ireland, my living quarters consisted of a rusty old camper shell with no running water, phone, heat, internet, or bathroom. All I had was a moldy mattress that was too wide for the narrow camper so it couldn't lay flat. There were no sheets, just some scratchy, chewed up blankets and no pillow. On top of that, I was totally alone. The farmers lived in the small town a few miles away and commuted. I didn't have a phone at the time, nor did they. The situation was painfully isolating.
Moreover, I was only fed white bread and lunch meat for every meal with the occasional piece of lettuce, but I was a vegetarian so I became quite weak from the lack of protein and nutrients. If you have allergies or dietary restrictions, state them when you contact hosts. Make sure they are able to provide you with nutritious meals that can sustain you through each day's labor. If I had asked the hosts these questions beforehand, I would have chosen a different farm.
4. Work Schedule & Duties
The hosts shouldn't be exploiting you, but again, it may fall on you to ensure this doesn't happen. Make sure that you clarify your work schedule and responsibilities before you commit to volunteering with them.
Ask what type of work they would like for you to do, how many hours per day, and how many days per week. WWOOFers often complain about being overworked or not gaining any skills. Unfortunately, the organization is unlikely to assist you out in this case. You shouldn't be working over six hours per day.
When I WWOOFed, the farmers had me weeding nettle and mowing fields for eight hours straight, but I've also had friends who worked leisurely four-hour-days planting seeds and picking fruit on weekdays that had a wonderful time. They had time to explore their communities or even take weekend trips. Your situation can go either way. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst (just to be safe). If you are being taken advantage of, leaving early is always an option.
5. Visas
Whether you'll need a visa depends on the country you are going to, and the length of time you plan to stay. Do ample research to better understand the visa requirements in the country that you choose. For some countries, like Japan, you can stay up to 90 days without a visa if you are from the United States. Do your due diligence so you don't get in trouble with immigration.
Top Questions about WWOOFing
How Do I Find the Right Farm?
Apply to many hosts, but don't overstate your experience to get ahead. WWOOF hosts get tons of emails from eager participants. They may not have time to respond to everyone, much less accommodate them. Cater your search to your particular interests and location preferences.
Read reviews of hosts, make sure they aren't negative. Even one or two negative reviews is not a good sign. Sometimes hosts will have a dozen positive reviews, but the conditions on their farm will be abysmal in real life. On the flip side, there could be a host without any reviews that is truly excellent. Go with your gut and hope it plays out in your favor.
Finally, cement your arrangement with your host and pack according to the weather and work environment. Keep in mind that some things will get lost in translation when one end isn't corresponding in their native language.
What will be Expected of Me While WWOOFing?
While each WWOOFing experience will vary based on the type of work you'll do, there is one common expectation: hosts expect you to honor your commitment. They expect you to work hard and be somewhat flexible.
Tell your host what you want to gain from the experience. A good host should help you learn the skills you want to acquire, in return, you should be engaged in the work. Some tasks can be extremely strenuous while others may be rather sedentary. Understand how early or late the hosts would like you to work, how physical the work is, and set a tentative weekly schedule.
Your hosts might also want you to help them table at a market or spend time with their pets or children occasionally. These are tasks that let you peek into their lives, communities, and families. Take advantage of these authentic experiences and become immersed the culture.
How Much Does WWOOFing Cost?
This is subjective to where, when, and how long you are WWOOFing. For example, if you are flying from New York to New Zealand, your flight will cost a lot more than someone going to Mexico from California. You are responsible for your own travel arrangements. Here are a few costs to consider when making a budget:
- WWOOF membership/subscription fee (around $40 per country per year)
- Airfare
- Ground transportation to site
- Food & drink costs
- Activities outside of WWOOFing
- Visa processing (if you need one)
- Travel and/or health insurance
- Phone and/or internet services
What is the Age Limit for WWOOFing?
For the majority of WWOOF countries, participants must be 18 or older. In Ireland and Portugal, you can WWOOF at 17, but a letter of parental permission may be required. In Turkey, you must be 20 to WWOOF. There's not an upper age limit, but you have to be physically capable of doing potentially strenuous work all day.
While WWOOFing, Can I Bring My Partner? Kids? Dog?
The answers to these questions are up to the individual hosts. Finding a host that will accept you as a volunteer is significantly harder if you're planning to bring a pet or young children. Specifically, there may be safety issues for kids. A partner shouldn't affect your search much, but the host must be able to accommodate your situation if they want you both to volunteer.
What to Pack for a WWOOFing Trip
While WWOOFing, you're going to get dirty, sweaty, and you might not get a chance to launder your clothes for weeks or months.
Pack neutral clothing that suits the climate of where you're volunteering. Cotton becomes stinky when you repeatedly sweat through it and it doesn't wick moisture. Wool and certain synthetics require less washing and hide your body odor better than cotton. Bring utilitarian shoes, sunglasses, raingear, a hat, sunscreen, lots of underwear and socks.
If the sleeping arrangement is unclear, bring a lightweight sleeping bag and packable pillow just in case. Take a backpack instead of rolling luggage if possible. Attempting to roll a heavy suitcase through a field is no fun.
WWOOFing can be unpredictable; the best advice I have is to go in with an open mind. This may be the most amazing experience of your life or the absolute worst. You will learn something, whether it's about farming, culture, language or about yourself as an individual, and you will ultimately benefit. Regardless, you can add WWOOFing to your resume!

By Abdul Kerimkhanov
Today, more and more countries worldwide switch to non-paper cash money, which is considered more resilient and protected.
The Central Bank of Azerbaijan (CBA) monitors world practice of switching from paper to hybrid substrates when printing banknotes, CBA told Trend.
The CBA noted that in international practice, polymer hybrid materials are used to extend the circulation period of banknotes, as well as to prevent their counterfeiting.
Such substrates consist of a combination of paper and polymer and have several advantages over the polymer. These substrates are considered the latest technology and are currently widely used in the world.
As CBA mentioned, polymer substrates are widely used in a number of countries, but some countries with a warm climate have returned to paper or combination substrates to print their banknotes.
As for Azerbaijan, CBA expressed readiness, if necessary, to revise the material for the production of manats.
Today, Azerbaijani manat banknotes are made of 100 percent cotton. Coins are made of steel, copper, brass and nickel.
The same material is also used for printing the euro, which makes the Azerbaijani manat similar to the European currency not only in design. Experts say that the euro is more durable, probably due to the small circulation in the cash form, since the level of non-cash payments is high in the EU.
The life of banknotes in Azerbaijan is about 3-5 years, and of coins - 20 years. The largest burden falls on small banknotes - one and five manats. Their life cycle is 1.5-2 years since they are deformed faster due to the most frequent use.
For the first time, Azerbaijan's own currency was put into circulation in 1919 during the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic.
A new page in the history of money circulation in the country began after the restoration of independence of Azerbaijan. By a decree of the President of Azerbaijan dated July 15, 1992, a decision was made to issue the national currency.
The national currency of Azerbaijan was put into circulation on August 15, 1992, and on January 1, 1994, manat was recognized as the only legal means of payment in the territory of the country.
Today banknotes with face value of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 manats are in circulation. One manat equals 100 gapiks. Metal coins with face value of 1, 3, 5, 10, 20 and 50 gapiks are in circulation in Azerbaijan.
