Home / Horse / Adult / Equine Choice Turnout
Equine Choice Turnout is a protein, mineral and vitamin supplement designed for horses on forage and grain-based diets.
The combination of molasses and fat provides controlled energy release in a highly digestible product. Molasses, with its high sugar content, stimulates intake and provides a readily available energy source. Vegetable oil, increases energy density and efficiency while improving skin and hair coat condition.
The physical form of Equine Choice Turnout initially presents as a hard product, but soon forms a thin layer of soft, viscous material on the surface as it draws moisture from the air. This layer is readily consumed by horses. As more moisture from the air along with saliva from previous licking meets the exposed surface of the product, another thin layer of material becomes available for consumption. This process results in a slow, controlled consumption that mimics the natural eating pattern (grazing) of horses, allowing nutrients to be gradually introduced to the digestive system throughout the day, minimizing digestive upsets.
Guaranteed levels of all vitamins, including the B-complex, eliminates the need for special vitamin packs. Vitamins A, D, and E are added to provide a supplemental source to guard against deficiencies and help maintain optimal health and metabolism. B-vitamins, including Biotin, are important for the efficient breakdown and transformation of nutrients into usable energy. B-vitamins also help maintain the growth and health of skin, hair and hooves.
Mineral supplementation is necessary to help minimize the detrimental effects of mineral imbalances found in forages. Optimum levels and ratios are supplied by Equine Choice Turnout to ensure a balanced diet for maintenance, breeding, and performance.
Since 1927, Kent has been a leading commercial livestock nutrition brand in the Midwest. In 2010, Kent and Blue Seal merged to form Kent Nutrition Group. Because of its strong quality nutrition reputation, select Kent brand products are proudly sold through Blue Seal retailers.

Free-choice Equine Choice Turnout to horses on all types of rations to provide supplemental nutrients when fed along with grain and roughages. Place tub(s) in a dry location near the animal's source of water, salt, mineral, or loafing area. Consumption will vary depending on animal size; stage of production; quality, source, and availability of roughage and/or grains; number of animals per tub, and location. Offer one 33.3 lb tub for every 1-2 head of horses, one 50 lb tub for every 2-3 head of horses, or one 250 lb barrel for every 9-15 head of horses. Horses typically consume between 0.5 and 1.5 lb per head per day.
DAILY INTAKE VALUES ARE APPROXIMATE. To increase consumption, decrease the number of animals per barrel. To reduce consumption, increase the number of animals per barrel, or place barrels away from the normal loafing area. Provide clean, fresh water at all times.

Marion Williams turns 104
Senior Citizens Week kicked off on Sunday and there are plenty activities organized to honour our older members of society and highlight their contributions and experiences. And while Belize boasts a youthful population there are many among us who have lived the extra mile surpassing a century of life. News Five caught up with one such special lady today.
Marleni Cuellar, Reporting
Marion Williams is a centenarian. Today she celebrates her hundred and fourth birthday. It's a feat that few of us can imagine accomplishing, but according to this centenarian, hard work and her prayers brought her longevity in life.
Marion Williams, Centenarian
"Oh yes I work hard and so I go to church and so. Every Sunday I go to church."
Marleni Cuellar
"Every Sunday you go dah church?"
Marion Williams
Marion once walked to church every Sunday until a month before her hundredth birthday. That's because she fractured her hip bone in a fall that led to her difficulty in moving around.
Marion Williams
"I haffu tek it easy wid dis. This is thing dat mek I haffu tek it easy. First I neva use to. Run downstairs and I run come up."
That doesn't stop Marion from enjoying her family and the life that she now leads. She is surrounded by four generations of her family including her eighty year old daughter Daisy and her great, great grandson, two year old Avery. She is most thankful for her long life.
Marion Williams
"Oh I thank God dats what I thank god that I here. This morning I wake, I thank God that I still here."
And her birthday special birthday request…
Marion Williams
"Oh yes I want wah big plate ah food."
And as Marion clearly demonstrates, the theme for this year's Senior citizens week is 'I am not aging – I am increasing in value.'

Bozeto de Exopto Rioja 2018
Free Shipping on 6 or more
Robert Parker, Jr.'s Wine Advocate: "The just-bottled red 2018 Bozeto de Exopto is a superb young and fruit-driven blend of 50% Tempranillo and 40% Garnacha with a 10% pinch of Graciano to add freshness. The destemmed but uncrushed grapes fermented in stainless steel, concrete and oak containers with indigenous yeasts and matured for six months, the Garnacha in concrete, the Tempranillo in oak vats and a blend of Tempranillo and Graciano in well-seasoned barriques. 2018 was clearly a cool, Atlantic vintage (as opposed to Mediterranean vintages), and the grapes ripened slowly; some of the grapes (the Garnacha) were harvested later than ever. This juicy and fruit-driven young red is aromatic and more fluid, fresher and approachable. The palate is fresh and light, a wine to enjoy without moderation! 75,000 bottles produced make this 75% of the production of the winery.Drink Date: 2019 - 2022." Jun 2019
James Suckling: "An early-drinking style of Rioja with loads of energetic primary fruit, ranging from citrus to raspberries to fresh herbs. Bright, soft and fruity on the finish. Drink now." July 2019
Winery: "Deep red with a bright rim. Spicy cherry and black raspberry on the nose, with brisk mineral and floral overtones. Juicy and focused, offering sweet raspberry and blackberry flavors and snappy acidity. Impresses with precision rather than power, and finishes with juicy berry flavors and good persistence.
Food Pairing: Roast turkey, cured cheeses, orange sauces, grilled meats, fondues, paella, Italian and spicy food."

I Am A: True Neutral Human Bard/Cleric (3rd/3rd Level)
Ability Scores:
True Neutral A true neutral character does what seems to be a good idea. He doesn't feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. Most true neutral characters exhibit a lack of conviction or bias rather than a commitment to neutrality. Such a character thinks of good as better than evil after all, he would rather have good neighbors and rulers than evil ones. Still, he's not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way. Some true neutral characters, on the other hand, commit themselves philosophically to neutrality. They see good, evil, law, and chaos as prejudices and dangerous extremes. They advocate the middle way of neutrality as the best, most balanced road in the long run. True neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you act naturally, without prejudice or compulsion. However, true neutral can be a dangerous alignment when it represents apathy, indifference, and a lack of conviction.
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.
Primary Class:
Bards often serve as negotiators, messengers, scouts, and spies. They love to accompany heroes (and villains) to witness heroic (or villainous) deeds firsthand, since a bard who can tell a story from personal experience earns renown among his fellows. A bard casts arcane spells without any advance preparation, much like a sorcerer. Bards also share some specialized skills with rogues, and their knowledge of item lore is nearly unmatched. A high Charisma score allows a bard to cast high-level spells.
Secondary Class:
Clerics act as intermediaries between the earthly and the divine (or infernal) worlds. A good cleric helps those in need, while an evil cleric seeks to spread his patron's vision of evil across the world. All clerics can heal wounds and bring people back from the brink of death, and powerful clerics can even raise the dead. Likewise, all clerics have authority over undead creatures, and they can turn away or even destroy these creatures. Clerics are trained in the use of simple weapons, and can use all forms of armor and shields without penalty, since armor does not interfere with the casting of divine spells. In addition to his normal complement of spells, every cleric chooses to focus on two of his deity's domains. These domains grants the cleric special powers, and give him access to spells that he might otherwise never learn. A cleric's Wisdom score should be high, since this determines the maximum spell level that he can cast.

text: The ancient Greeks held the belief that everything was made up of four unchanging elements – Earth, Fire, Water and Air. This idea formed the cornerstone of science, philosophy and medicine for over 2000 years. The four icons are the alchemical symbols for these classic building blocks of the universe. They represent our philosophy of returning to the basic elements of winemaking. Quality products, born of the northern prairie (earth), kissed by the sun (fire), nourished by the flowing rivers (water) and brought to life by prairie breezes (air) are the foundation of 4e wines. Our goal is to produce the finest wines allowing the purity of the fruit to express itself as it was meant to be with as little manipulation as possible.

To keep warm and cosy in the cold weather, you should definitely make yourself a hat.
The hat pattern I am sharing in this post is one of my favourites!
It uses soft and chunky yarn that knits up quick. I used YarnArt Alpine Alpaca in three different neutral colours for the hat and made an extra large pom to finish it off.
I wore this knitted hat on a recent visit to Mon Repos here in Corfu, Greece. If you have ever visited the island of Corfu, this is one of the tourist stops as it is a great park with a manor house on the grounds.
It has a lot of history surrounding it and it is where Prince Phillip was born in 1921. If like me you have been watching The Crown on Netflix, Prince Phillip was born here in Corfu before his family were exiled.
It is such a beautiful place to visit and walk around, I have never been in the house (but have always wanted to go in) as we normally visit in the late afternoon, or on Sundays, when the main house is closed.
This is one of the places we take Jason (our dog) for a walk and to just enjoy the beauty of the grounds.
If you are new to knitting and want to learn how to knit there are many easy and free patterns on my website, just take a look at my knitting pattern library, with patterns for women, men, baby, kids, pets and the home.
If you are a knitter – there are so many great oversized sweater knitting patterns – take a look at this post and find something you can make for fall.
There are also many scarf knitting patterns that are perfect for fall and winter that you can easily make yourself.
Take a look at the easy free hat pattern below and make one for yourself, friends or family.
The yarn is from a local yarn store here in Corfu, but it can be ordered online or substituted with Lion Brand wool ease thick and quick (for size 9 mm (US 13) or 10 mm (US 15) needles).
It is a really easy pattern to follow so will be great for any beginner knitters. I hope you enjoy it!

Chiropractic & Nutritional Care Can Help Relieve Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpel Tunnel Syndrome is when someone experiences numbness or tingling in their hand as a result of pressure on their median nerve caused by swelling of their carpal tunnel in their wrist. This nerve runs the length of your arm and controls the movement of your thumb and the movement of all your fingers except your pinky.
The carpal tunnel is narrowed as a result, usually from swelling brought on by repetitive movements like typing or any motions of the wrists that you do over and over. If you have carpal tunnel syndrome and don't get it treated, its symptoms can last a long time, get worse, and can even go away and return.
Chiropractic care can help by performing "micro-adjustments" from the elbow down into the wrist and into the hands. Mobilization of your joints and muscles provides more movement, more muscle relaxation, and restores space for the nerves to function normally. Also, we can perform cold laser therapy that uses infrared light to stimulate and promote healing in your body's cells to help you recover more quickly.
We commonly treat carpal tunnel syndrome in our clinic.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition where tension on the nerve that goes through your forearm and through the wrist area causes numbness, tingling, and pain into your fingers. We see this a lot in people who are working eight hours a day on a computer and don't have a lot of support on their wrists while they're typing away all day long or doing a lot of repetitive movements with their hands.
With carpal tunnel syndrome, we always work with modifications on your ergonomics or how you're sitting at work or whatever is aggravating it, we try to modify those activities so we don't continually rip off that band-aid every time I'm trying to heal that area. So if there's some homework to do at home to get that healing longer-lasting and once we correct that, people generally see improvement in like three to six weeks generally, if not fully resolved. So if you have carpal tunnel syndrome, give our office a call I'd love to work with you and start your journey to health today.
Chiropractic Care
Muscle tension in joints can lead to bones being out of alignment and possibly reduce the signal of the nerve passing through that bone. If they are not able to send a good signal to the muscles they lead to, this can lead to issues like numbness or tingling in those muscles.
Chiropractic care can help carpal tunnel by creating mobilization from the elbow down into the wrist and into the hands. Mobilization of your joints and muscles provides more movement, more muscle relaxation, and opens up space for the nerves to function normally. We generally use a tool called an activator, which performs micro-adjustments to help get movement in the area, take stress off of the nerve, and relieve the symptoms from your fingers.
We also perform cold laser therapy, which uses red-light and infrared light to help reduce pain and inflammation. Cold laser therapy is great for carpal tunnel syndrome and we use it quite often. It's a painless and sensation-less therapy that uses frequencies of light to penetrate the skin and stimulate healing functions in the cells of your body.
Nutritional Care
When you suffer from carpal tunnel, you have pain and inflammation. While chiropractic care helps with mobilization and realigning the joints and muscles, we may recommend supplements to help the muscles relax and speed up the healing process.
Orthomega 820: High-quality omega-3 supplements that support joint health
Formula 303: A natural muscle relaxant
Turmero Active: A turmeric based supplement to reduce pain and inflammation (take in place of Ibuprofen)
B6 Plus: Vitamin B6 is essential to proper nerve function and magnesium and potassium are important electrolyte minerals involved in nerve and muscle function.

It looks like President Bush has found a country that welcomes him: Albania.
Albania is by all accounts very pro-American. It was an American president, Woodrow Wilson, who arranged for Albania's independence after the first world war. And it was another American president, Bill Clinton, who intervened against Serbia's ethnic cleansing of Albanians in Kosovo. Bush is popular in Albania mainly because of what his predecessors have done for that people and country.
After six years of Bush, it's nice to be reminded that the United States has at times done some good in this world. Ironically, it's Bush's trip to Albania that is the occasion for the reminder.

Feed by Mira Grant
The year was 2014. We had cured cancer. We had beaten the common cold. But in doing so we created something new, something terrible that no one could stop. The infection spread, virus blocks taking over bodies and minds with one, unstoppable command: FEED.
Now, twenty years after the Rising, bloggers Georgia and Shaun Mason are on the trail of the biggest story of their lives - the dark conspiracy behind the infected. The truth will get out, even if it kills them.
The zombie and post-apocalyptic genres have grown a lot. The days of a first Resident Evil bringing about shockwaves of surprised novelty and following that some good, some pretty bad zombie amusement have long past. Every now and then another writer or moviemaker has a go at the old 'undead'-genre, with varying results.
This story did surprise me because I expected a 'fight-for-your-lives' action based thriller with lots of un-dead having a go at the main character, 'Feed', does speak to your imagination. I did get surprised though because after the first great couple of pages, the whole action part dropped for about 120 pages.
This book doesn't has the fight to survive theme as a main ingredient. It has modern media, political intrigue and some semi-scientific info as the essence. Does she pull it off was my big question.
Fiction largely depends on reality to succeed in my opinion. If a story is just too ridiculous to make sense, then I drop. I believe that the art of writing fiction with realistic characters, dialogue, surroundings, environments is something few truly master. Which results in a lot of mediocre books and a few that shine every year.
So after picking this story apart I could conclude these things: The characters were very good. Georgia, Shaun and Rick really came alive on these pages. Even Buffy reminded me of someone I know. But something that bothered me immensely was the idea of an intensive political campaign, internet and infrastructure in a world decimated by a zombie plague. Who's there to do the maintenance on everything, and bring in the crops out of a zombie-free field?
Perhaps because of the load of zombie novels I've read, or the amounts of horror movies I've seen are cause but I couldn't cope with the idea. I understand the importance of information and the truth to satisfy the lonely, sheltered American, but having extensive amounts of people just focussing on something not primal for survival... too far-fetched.
So well, the setting. I guess you like it when you're a fanatic blogger or news-addict yourself, otherwise if you're a zombie-movie fan not.
The plot, well…..I guess it was obvious. I'll not spoil, but I can say you'll not be too surprised at the end. There is one detail I enjoyed immensely at the end, but I'll not spoil that either.
So in all, Grant is an excellent writer. The flow of this story was good, the way it was written seems almost easy but it was pretty intelligently done. Trying something new is always to be respected.
But this story was simply not for me.

I'm staying with Alistair Pugin and friends to speak at SharePoint Saturday Johannesburg. My topic, Accessible and authentic employee engagement with Microsoft 365. My presentation contains a demo of running a live event from a Yammer page. The goal here is to enable a CEO to run a live Q&A as part of their monthly progress report for the whole company. Live events leave no room for editing and plenty of room for near realtime engagement with employees and attendees. The CEO should use a presentation style that is less rehearsed and more conversational, as if they were presenting to a room full of people. In some cases they are, in addition to the online audience.
I woke early to run through my set up. I am in the role of producer for the live event. It's my job to create the scenes from the different sources and send them to the live audience. I'll make some time during the 365 Tour South Africa to record and film my set up in more detail. Hey, while I have Alistair, Tracy van der Schyff, Heather Newman and Jethro Seghers, I should get them to help me role play it. But for now, here's my rough systems check, live streamed early on the morning of SPSJHB.

If there is one thing we have learned during the past 10 years of running our country linen shop, it would be this. Customers want to buy American-made goods.
Plain and simple. We get the message. There was a time when manufacturing jobs were plentiful in the US, and a "Made in the USA" label was not a rarity. So many of us were raised in families where one or both parents worked long hours at the factory. Now, so many of those factories are empty ghost towns, a mere memory of what used to be. And as a result, so many are struggling to find jobs.
But an interesting thing has happened in America. The tide is turning and your voices are being heard. We're seeing more and more American-made goods at each trade show we attend. It's an exciting time.
If you haven't had the opportunity to browse our website lately, let me take a moment to show you a few of our best-selling American goods.
Homespun Curtains and Bedding
Our Homespun Collection offers made to order valances, swags, rod pocket panels, coverlets, pillow shams, and more. All pieces are available in a wide range of country style fabrics, like checks, ticking stripes, and plaids. You choose the fabric and your order is sewn by an expert seamstress right here in the USA. Your order will be ready to ship in around 2 1/2 weeks. Our most popular Homespun item? This would be our Homespun Bedskirts. They can be ordered in most any bed size or length. Throw in a couple of matching ruffled pillow shams and your bedding set is complete!
Woven Bedspreads
Another popular collection that is domestically produced would be our woven bedspreads. These are woven in the same old-fashioned patterns that graced your grandmother's bed. The patterns include the well-loved, nubby textured, Martha Washington Bedspread, and the intricately gorgeous matelasse Queen Elizabeth Bedspread. These bedspreads are easily machine washable and wear like iron.
Faux Wood Rugs
This is a really cool line of products. These are rubber backed low profile rugs with truly realistic imagery in the form of wood. These rugs not only provide an instant pop of rustic appeal, they are also highly practical. They're water resistant and virtually indestructible. (If you're a pet owner this is a must have. Dogs and rugs don't always mix, but this rug is the perfect choice for messy four legged friends.) When those little messes appear, the rug can easily be hosed off outside. How easy is that?
So, there you have it. A few of our fav Made in the USA collections. Check out all of our American Made Goods here. And we are always on the lookout to add more high quality items (foreign and domestic) for your decorating convenience.
Thanks for stopping by!

A parent in Marshfield, Wisconsin has filed a challenge to Jeannette Walls' memoir The Glass Castle, saying that high school students "deserve better" than a book he describes as "full of foul language, and explicit and disturbing materials." In accordance with its challenge policy, the Marshfield School District will form a review committee to read the book and recommend a course of action to the superintendent.
Walls' book about her impoverished childhood is a popular choice in high school curricula, but also a frequently challenged one. At last week's meeting of the Marshfield Board of Education, parent Dan Alsides asked that it be removed from the 10th grade curriculum and replaced with another unspecified book that would "inspire our children to greatness." A representative from the school district said that Alsides' complaints about the book included "language and ideas put forth in the book by someone with addictions and mental illness."
Once a review committee is formed, members have only seven days to read the book and agree on a recommendation to send to the district superintendent, who in turn may take action herself or recommend a course of action to the school board. If Alsides is unsatisfied with the superintendent's decision, he may appeal it to the board as well. Marshfield's challenge policy states that the book is to remain in the curriculum during the review process; moreover, it can only be removed altogether by a vote of the board, not unilaterally by the superintendent. Finally, the policy includes a clause that will likely prove crucial in defense of The Glass Castle:
[N]o challenged material may be removed solely because it presents ideas that may be unpopular or offensive to some. Any Board action to remove material will be accompanied by the Board's statement of its reasons for the removal.
Strangely enough, this is not the only book about poverty that has recently faced a challenge in the Marshfield school district. In 2015 parent and school board member Mary Carney asked that the United Nations-published picture book For Every Child a Better World be removed from the kindergarten curriculum. The book features Kermit the Frog and a multicultural cast of Sesame Street-like humanoid characters shown in global settings. Its aim, says the publisher's description, is to teach "young readers about the plight of young children who lack the basic human necessities and the efforts of the United Nations to provide such essentials as housing, water, food, and medical aid," but Carney alleged that it contains too much "negative, dark, depressing imagery." An eight-member review committee unanimously voted to keep the book in classrooms.
The Glass Castle has also faced its share of challenges in other schools. Last year the full text of the book was replaced by excerpts in the ninth grade curriculum at West Allegheny High School in Pennsylvania, prompting students to launch a petition in favor of restoring it. The petition garnered about 200 signatures and was presented to the school board by one of the organizers, but the board took no further action despite praising the students' initiative. Walls' memoir was also one of seven books that were temporarily suspended en masse from the approved reading list of Highland Park High School near Dallas in 2014. The district reversed course after a public outcry.

Trublaevichy Angelina, 3 years
Parents of little girl Angelina couldn`t even imagine their daughter would faced with such grave diagnosis being only 2-years kid. No pathologies were detected during regular medical examinations. However Angelina didn't start to speak and her parents become very concerned about it. Medical examinations diagnosed scary for any family diagnosis: sensorineural hearing loss and absence of speech.
Trublaevichy family lives in a small village and it was very difficult task to collect money for medical examination at Moscow Diagnostic Centre. But they did it. Bilateral acoustic aid were installed on both ears at Moscow. Unfortunately, it didn't change the situation much. The girl is almost deaf and is able to communicate with relatives and friends only with hand gestures. Kindergarten is unavailable for her for that reason. And this is really a big problem for this very sociable and full of life girl.
The only chance for girl to start hearing and speaking is installation of cochlear implants. Such surgery could be done at Kishinev, but the price is 23 800 Euro.
Supported by their relatives and friends, girl's parents managed to collect about $10.000USA. They had appealed to our organization for support in collecting of missing amount, to help Angelina in hearing this world and parents voices.
We start fundraising at the amount of 300 000 MDL.

Another shooting, this time at the Navy Yard in Washington DC.
The details available are almost certainly at least partly incorrect. But here is the information as of now.
From the Washington Post:
At least 12 people are dead and others were wounded after as many as three shooters dressed in military style uniforms opened fire in a rampage at the Washington Navy Yard on Monday, police said, spreading fear and chaos across the region as authorities tried to contain the incident.
D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier announced the mounting death toll in a 2 p.m. news conference. One suspected shooter is dead, and Lanier said authorities still are looking for two other potential suspects wearing green and tan military style clothing.
"The big concern for us right now is that we have potentially two other shooters that we have not located at this point," Lanier said.
Mayor Vincent C. Gray said no motive is known. He said they have no reason to believe it was an act of terrorism, though he said he could not rule it out.
Lanier described one of the possible suspects as a white male in his 40s, wearing what appeared to be tan military clothing, "consistent with a Navy uniform," and a beret. She said police also are looking for a black man in his 40s with gray sideburns, wearing an olive-drab military-style uniform.

An Albanian man, with strong connections to bikie groups in Adelaide, has been successfully removed from Australia, the Minister for Immigration and Border Protection Peter Dutton announced today.
Leonard Gjeka, who escaped from immigration detention in Melbourne on November 12, arrived in Albania under heavy escort late last night.
Mr Dutton said his removal should serve as a warning to other bikies.
'I make absolutely no excuses for removing a person of Mr Gjeka's character,' Mr Dutton said.
'He has been involved in extremely violent offences in Adelaide and escaped from lawful detention.
'When I became Minister for Immigration and Border Protection, I made it perfectly clear that one of my priorities would be to remove bikies, who are not Australian citizens, from this country, if they are involved in crime. Mr Gjeka is a perfect example of somebody we do not want in this country.'
Gjeka was imprisoned for 42 days for escaping from immigration detention after spending a week on the run and finally giving himself up to Victorian police.
Mr Dutton said he is now permanently barred from returning to Australia.
'This is about protecting Australia and its citizens,' Mr Dutton said.
'Mr Gjeka arrived in Australia on a false passport and made numerous attempts to remain permanently but all failed.
'People who do not hold a valid visa, and have exhausted all avenues to remain, should leave Australia.'

Esmay Lowers the Boom
I'm still not sure if i like this guy; seems an okay guy, yet some of his stances leave me askance… but dammit, this is a GOODIE:
The fact is that the naysayers claimed we weren't really striving for liberation. We were. They claimed we'd install a new puppet dictator. We did not. They claimed that we wouldn't really try to set up a democracy. We did. They claimed there would be no legitimate elections. The Iraqis had three national elections in a row, all certified as legitimate by international observers, not even counting the local elections that were held before that.
They claimed we'd do everything possible to get out of the country "before the next elections"–they claimed that before the 2004 elections and again before the 2006 elections. It didn't happen. Now these same people in many cases are cheering for a Congress that's trying to force us out of Iraq even though the war supporters consistently say "no, that would be morally and strategically wrong."
Time after time the naysayers have proven themselves both morally and intellectually incoherent, and yet they never have the introspection to acknowledge this.

This screening took place on
Neruda' is a film centering on the life of famous Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, who went into hiding in the late 1940s after being accused of being an enemy of the state for his communist leanings. Not a biopic but a bio-fic, this suspense thriller set in 1948 in inspired by the period in Chilean poet and Communist senator Pablo Neruda was forced underground and into exile by an authoritarian right wing government. Larrain filters the story through the eyes of the obsessive cop Oscar Peluchonneau (Gael Garcia Bernal) in hot pursuit, lending this fresh, compelling movie the air of a South American pulp detective novel with distinctly literary aspirations.
"Surprises always come at the end of Pablo Larraín's films, when everything suddenly comes together and the audience sits in the cinema feeling both illuminated and floored. Neruda is no different, representing the director at his stunning best with a work of such cleverness and beauty, alongside such power, that it's hard to know how to parcel out praise: script, cinematography, art direction and performances all vie for kudos and awards…" - Jay Weissberg, Variety
"Equal parts history and imagination, this "anti-biopic" from Chilean director Pablo Larraín, set in 1948, tracks the beloved writer and statesman Pablo Neruda during the period when he was persecuted for his socialist politics and forced underground. However, it is worth noting that in Larraín and scenarist Guillermo Calderón's conception, Neruda's protagonist is not, in fact, Neruda (beautifully embodied by Luis Gnecco) but, rather, the federal policeman charged with smoking him out.
In his hunt for Neruda, the otherwise unremarkable prefect Oscar Peluchonneau (Gael García Bernal) finds himself imbued with a sweeping sense of purpose and destiny. It's almost as if Peluchonneau is Neruda's creation – though, strictly speaking, the character feels drawn from a slightly different narrative tradition, one more akin to the stories of Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges or Chilean filmmaker Raúl Ruiz. Which is to say that Neruda is a work of inspired mischief, in which the art of storytelling is inextricable from historical fact." - NNNN José Teodoro, Now Toronto

2018 NFV Report Series Part 1: NFV Infrastructure (NFVI) and VIM Available Now
By Roy Chua
April 12, 2018
The world of network functions virtualization (NFV) continues to mature and expand driven by continued investment from service providers, including both fixed and mobile operators. NFV is now an established, open architecture that most CSPs worldwide are adopting as part of new infrastructure investment and as a foundation for new 5G deployments and innovative applications. SDxCentral is pleased to announce the first in a series of three reports focused on NFV. Download SDxCentral's 2018 NFV Report Series Part I – NFVI (NFV Infrastructure) and VIM (Virtualized Infrastructure Manager) here.
While NFV-based networks provide the foundation for many leading-edge solutions, the market is still working towards understanding how best to implement NFV and the best-in-class architectures for different use-case deployments. In 2018, there's a thriving and diverse market with multiple players solving different problems. With the complexity of the space and the amount of ground to cover, SDxCentral will continue to examine the NFV market in an updated three-part NFV report series.
The first report in the series, the NFVI and VIM report, focuses on hardware and software resources that make up an NFV platform. This includes examining new open architectures, looking into containers vs VMs, x86 vs ARM and the role of HW and SW acceleration of I/O traffic. It also covers the VIM due to the important role of the VIM in resource management of the NFVI—if you're interested in understanding what we and the market think about whether Kubernetes will take the place of OpenStack, or whether ARM has a chance in beating Intel in NFVI, make sure you don't miss out on downloading this complimentary report: 2018 NFV Report Series Part I – NFVI and VIM.
Stay tuned for the NFV Report Part II, which focuses on MANO, including NFV orchestration as well as service assurance in NFV, followed by Part III, which will cover virtual network functions (VNFs), the specific software applications that run on the NFVI.
(The above is the introduction to this analyst report, which includes a profile of Telco Systems and the company's NFV solutions.)

US lawmaker slams India for scrapping Kashmir's special status; urges UN-backed resolution of dispute
NEW YORK, Sep 14 (APP):US Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, who is of Palestinian origin, has condemned the Indian annexation of occupied Kashmir that heightened tensions in the disputed region, and urged the Trump administration to support a U.N.-backed peaceful resolution of the crisis that ensures self-determination of the Kashmiri people.
In a detailed statement issued in Detroit, Michigan, she called on India to immediately lift the communications blockade and all curfew restrictions imposed more than a month ago to "shed light on what is happening in Jammu and Kashmir."
"India must afford due process to the thousands of people it has detained without charge, and ensure hospitals have the necessary access to life-saving medicine," Ms. Tlaib said.
"Multiple reports indicate that over 3,000 people have been indefinitely detained without charges by the Indian government under the Public Safety Act, including children, lawyers, doctors, religious leaders, and opposition political leaders," she said.
"I urge the Indian government to accept responsibility for the human rights violations being carried out in Jammu and Kashmir and hold the responsible parties accountable."
Earlier, her fellow congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who is of Somali origin, had also spoken out on the deteriorating situation in occupied Kashmir.
She had called for the immediate restoration of communication; respect for human rights, democratic norms, and religious freedom; and de-escalation in Kashmir.
More on Kashmir:British MP Tony Llyod demands respect for basic human rights of Kashmiri people
In addition, three key US senators — Chris Van Hollen, Todd Young, Ben Cardin and Lindsay Graham — expressed concern over the human rights situation in Kashmir, and urged President Donald Trump to play a role in helping resolve the Kashmir dispute between India and Pakistan.'
In her statement, Congresswoman Tlaib said, "While I have deep respect for India and its important relationship with the United States, I condemn the Indian government's revocation of Articles 370 and 35A, the communications blockade it has imposed, its suppression of life-saving medical care, and the reports of widespread violence, torture, and other human rights violations being carried out in Jammu and Kashmir.
"These unacceptable actions strip Kashmiris of their human dignity, put millions of people in danger, and seriously undermine democracy in India and Kashmir. People should not have to fear unjust detention, rape, or torture because of who they are and what they believe. I have met with residents in Michigan who cannot even call their families in Kashmir to ensure they are safe – a truly unimaginable situation as violence, militarization, and occupation continues. Jammu and Kashmir is already one of the most militarized regions on Earth, and India's recent actions create more instability and heighten the potential for accelerating violence.
"The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) released two reports in June, 2018, and July, 2019, raising serious concerns about abuses by state security forces and armed groups in Indian-administered Kashmir. The reports have also raised concerns about human rights violations in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, while noting that those violations are "of a different caliber or magnitude and of a more structural nature." To date, the recommendations of the OHCHR reports have not been implemented.
"As noted by the UN and human rights groups, the continued immunity of members of the Indian military from prosecution for human rights abuses through the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) remains a key obstacle to accountability and perpetuates their disproportionate use of force. The use of pellet shotguns and tear gas as crowd-control mechanisms has injured and maimed many Kashmiris, including children. Moreover, reports indicate that the Indian government has curtailed access to life-saving medical care for the Kashmiri people, creating shortages of medicine and restricting travel to doctors and pharmacies.
"Multiple reports indicate that over 3,000 people have been indefinitely detained without charges by the Indian government under the Public Safety Act, including children, lawyers, doctors, religious leaders, and opposition political leaders.
"Acts of sexual violence and enforced disappearances of civilians, allegedly by Indian security forces, represent serious human rights concerns in Jammu and Kashmir. The state's failure to adequately investigate the gang rape of 23 women in the 1991 Kunan-Poshpora mass rape case, allegedly perpetrated by Indian army soldiers, is emblematic of the overriding lack of concern for the due process rights of victims and the climate of impunity for sexual violence. Allegations of mass graves in Jammu and Kashmir have also not been credibly investigated, according to human rights organizations.
"I urge the Indian government to accept responsibility for the human rights violations being carried out in Jammu and Kashmir and hold the responsible parties accountable. India and Pakistan both must begin implementing the OHCHR recommendations from its 2018 and 2019 reports on the crisis.
"The communications blockade and all curfew restrictions must be lifted immediately to shed light on what is happening in Jammu and Kashmir. India must afford due process to the thousands of people it has detained without charge, and ensure hospitals have the necessary access to life-saving medicine.
The United States government should support a United Nations-backed peaceful resolution that restores autonomy and ensures self-determination of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. We cannot lose sight of the millions of Kashmiri people yearning to live in peace and dignity."

Hello and welcome to Penache! My name is Kimberly Collins and I'm the jewelry designer & owner of Penache LLC. Our goal is to create handcrafted casual chic jewelry with versatile style that you'll love wearing again and again.
How did you get started making jewelry? What is Penache?
These are the two questions I get the most when I meet customers and the answers reveal the inspiration for the creation of this company.
How did you get started making jewelry? The idea was born a few years ago when I was looking for a blue necklace to compliment an outfit. I went to the biggest mall in my area to start my search (I live in Central New York, so if you're from CNY or know the area, then you probably know which mall I'm talking about ). I thought for sure I would find it because there's so many well known fashion and jewelry stores there. Oh was I so wrong!
I walked around for hours, looking for that one piece that would fit my needs, but my expectations of finding it fell lower and lower with every store I visited. All the stores had the same cookie cutter jewelry because the fashion gods declared "Color X " as the official color of the year. There was no originality, nothing special about any of the jewelry. And worst yet, none of them went with my outfit (Sounds familiar, right?). Finally, after several hours and stores later, I found a blue necklace! I found it in a well known women's fashion store in the clearance racks (the store clerk told me it was last season's collection). Even though I didn't want a multi strand necklace, I was so desperate and excited that I found a blue necklace, that I bought it anyway.
After I got home, I took it out the bag and looked at it. I mean really looked at it. All the beads were fake! Just colored plastic strung on a thin, flimsy metal chain (the chain broke a couple days later, grr). I couldn't believe I spent $25 for plastic! The only thing that would've been worse is if I paid the full price for that flimsy thing. Angry, I showed it to my husband and told him "I could've made this, hell I can make a better necklace than this!" That's when my husband calmly said "Well, why don't you?"
Boom! The idea was born and with the encouragement of my family and friends, I started creating jewelry for myself , then as gifts for family and friends. My passion grew and soon it turned into a business. Now I create jewelry for style confident men & women who need chic yet easy to wear jewelry to fit their busy lives and their wardrobes. The fashion gods may dictate the "It" color & style each year, but many of us need jewelry to go with the clothes we already have in our closets, as well with anything we might buy in the future. From work to family, our lives are hectic. What we need is quality and versatile pieces that we can wear with multiple outfits, not cookie cutter jewelry with no personality.
What is Penache? Well, Penache is not a word you'll find in most English dictionaries. The closest related words in meaning and spelling are Panache and Penacho (Spanish translation of Panache). The dictionaries define Panache as flamboyant, confident, style, flair, chic, extravagent or showiness. The definition comes close to describing my creative philosophy, but not quite. Like panache, I wanted to create jewelry that was stylish, unique, and confident but unlike panache I didn't want it to be about bling, flamboyance, or showing off.
Penache is a combination of Panache and Penacho. Replacing "Pan" with "Pen" was not just a choice of pronunciation, but also helped to give us definition. I describe Penache as the subtle, chic version of her sister Panache. She's never gaudy, flashy, or pompous. Penache jewelry is handcrafted for men and women who enjoy jewelry that's designed using natured inspired colors, textures and materials to form quality casual chic pieces.
Creating jewelry is not just a business, it's a passion! I take great care and pride in every handmade piece. I want you to enjoy the jewelry as much as I enjoyed making it.
Kimberly Collins
Owner & Chief Design Officer

The dress has a cream lining that also has a lot of stretch to it. The keyhole closure in the back is cute and tiny, so no need to worry about wearing a cami or special bra underneath. Once on, the dress is light and airy and stretchy and comfy. The print does have a faded look to it, which I like, but there's a bit more black and orange in it than I expected after looking through all of the user pictures. While it does have a gathered waist, I think it looks better with a belt. The print is a little overwhelming, so I like the idea of having a belt to break it up a little and to define your waist more. One of the cons is that if you have a larger chest, like me, the printed mesh overlay will stretch and be lighter in color. It's only slightly noticeable and not enough to make me feel self-conscious and return it. Overall, I love how comfortable it is and that you can style it a variety of ways with different cardis, belts, shoes, and even tights and boots in the winter. It seems like a pretty wild piece - but that never scares me off because I love colorful prints - but I think it can be really versatile too.
It took several weeks of the Flared Caraz Dress being posted on Anthropologie before I paid it any attention. In fact, it wasn't until the site featured a shot of a model wearing it for the catalog that I looked up the item details. After seeing user reviews and photos, I started crushing on the dress. What I liked about it was the creamy, ruffled bottom; the colorful print featuring plenty of pink, my favorite color; the length seemed long enough, unlike the beautiful Minutiae Dropwaist "Dress" (pictured below) I ordered that has become a tunic worn with grey leggings or jeans; plus, it has some semblance of a sleeve. The user pictures were really cute, and it had a couple of good full-figured reviews. I'm always hesitant to order dresses from Anthro because I never know if they're going to fit. But somehow, strangely, I've never ordered something online and had to return it, though I've had plenty of depressing days in Anthro fitting rooms where nothing fits or they've run out of my size.
Well, I finally decided to order the Flared Caraz Dress in an XL (I typically wear a 14-16) two months ago. And it was back-ordered. For two months. After weeks and weeks of waiting, I came home from our Memorial weekend camping trip to find it waiting in my mailbox. As usual, Anthro's packaging was adorable. The gray plastic-y bag had a printed design with big purple, blue, and green flowers outlined in thick black. Cute. Like something from one of their bedspread prints. Anyways, I opened the package to feel the dress and loved the fabric. It's a fragile, soft, airy mesh with a lot of stretch to it. Like many of the other reviewers, I can see it snagging fairly easily, but the print is so busy and colorful, that I think it would be hard to spot a snag anyways.

Not a good thing. Because when it's 50% off...it's just so tempting. So I'm going to browse around a bit. And as I've been browsing, I've been playing songs from an old "Shared" folder. There's some good jams in there. Oldies but goodies:
Baby Boy da Prince - This is the Way I Live
Black Sheep - This or That
Bob Marley - No Woman No Cry
Closing Time
Come on Eileen
David Bowie - Under Pressure
Doobie Brothers - Black Water
Every Breath You Take
Fleetwood Mac - Landslide
Mashups: Jay-Z & The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony
Prince - When Doves Cry
Pussycat Dolls - Beep
Train - Drops of Jupiter
Otis Redding - Sitting on the Dock of the Bay
Oh look - a pink cardi to wear over the dress above! I do wonder if it's a bit too long, though. I'd also probably wear it belted. I'm glad that these open-cardis are becoming more popular and that they're featuring all different sleeve-lengths and a variety of colors. Plus - it's in my favorite shade of pink: bubble-gum. And LB doesn't offer much in bubble gum pink. It's usually raspberry or peach or hot pink. Thank you for featuring THIS shade of pink, LB!
I'm not a stripe wearer, but there's something about this dress that I really like, and it's certainly not the halter neck. So there's two things I don't like about this dress - or any article of clothing, actually - but I am still drawn to it. Maybe it's the shades of greens and reds and pinks? I really want to like maxi dresses, too. I like how they look on models. I ordered the one below from Torrid a couple of months ago, and while I thought it was okay, it wasn't great. Too long. The print coloring looked different in person. Just not for me. But maybe there's hope for this one from LB...and it looks like it can be worn as a strapless.
Must not order impulsively...the sale lasts till midnight. We'll see if I'm still diggin' the clothes as much once 12 creeps nearer. Maybe my batik dress will turn into pumpkin when the clock strikes. Gotta think on it...
Last summer I fell in love with Ranna Gill's "Back View Dress" for Anthropologie. I saw it in the catalog and thought it was colorful, funky, and unique. Plus, it had sleeves! Most dresses that I like are sleeveless or strapless and then I just end up wearing a cardigan over the dress, so to find a dress that I could wear as-is, sans cardigan, peaked my interest. And so I fantasized about it for weeks: flipping open to its page in the catalog, visiting the anthro site obsessively to read the reviews and see pictures of different women wearing it to see how I might look in it... And when I finally committed to buying it, it sold out in my size. Of course. But popular items on anthro sometimes get a second or third shipment, and that was exactly the case with this dress. Nearly two months after first seeing it, it came back in my size on the site, and I ordered it immediately.
I didn't love it at first when it arrived. It was shorter than most things I wear. The cape top was really different from anything I've ever worn. There's yellow in the print, and I never wear yellow. But I loved that it was so interesting and fun, and I'm not one to shy away from color and prints, so I kept it. And boy-oh-boy has it grown on me. It's become a staple for parties, dinners out, a day out shopping, etc. I wear it with or without a belt, with sandals, with heels, with knee-high boots and tights in cold weather, with a cardigan (even though it doesn't need one!) for a different look, with or without a cami underneath, etc. etc. Now I wish Ranna Gill would make a similar style just in a different print. I'd snatch it up immediately!
Last fall I started having allergic reactions that do really lovely things to my face. Swelling, redness, and bruising around my eyes that make me look like a mutant. My allergist couldn't identify the source of the attacks since my allergies to horses and cats didn't seem to make sense given that I hadn't been around any horses or cats. In my paranoia, I threw out all of my makeup and replaced it with a limited stash of items. The attacks continued. So I stopped wearing makeup for months with the exception of my trusty and well-loved Size Queen mascara. The few times I did wear makeup for special occasions, I would sometimes have reactions. And then I wondered if it wasn't the brushes. I've always used Bare Escentuals brushes. I have several, and they run a pretty penny apiece. And they're made from animal hair, I believe. So I just pitched my costly stash of brushes and bought a kit of synthetic brushes from Shany Cosmetics for $18 off of amazon.com. I didn't have high expectations. I expected cheapo brushes with coarse hair to arrive in plastic sheeting. Pleasantly surprised! They're the brushes shown in the picture above to the left. They came in a roll-up case, their handles are made from bamboo, and I would never guess that the brushes are synthetic. They feel as soft and the application is as smooth as with the BE brushes. For a fraction of the cost. And perhaps...most importantly...they won't give me an allergy attack! So makeup is back in my life again! Until........well, we'll see.
How did I not know this?
During my recent lurking of plus size fashion blogs, I've realized just how out of touch I am with plus size fashion retailers. I've been living in my Lane Bryant bubble, and I thought I was in on some secret finding Kiyonna. Wrong. There is so much more out there than I originally thought...and at affordable prices! I guess I'll be broadening my shopping circle beyond LB and Anthropologie! Three new companies that I've already been investigating and fantasizing about ordering from are iGiGi (which I actually did order something from....an exciting, pink, lace something that should arrive tomorrow....), ASOS Curve, and Evans.
ASOS Curve
As I was perusing various style blogs over the weekend, I noticed that OOTD posts are really popular. And it got me thinking about my own closet. And how as the schoolyear winds down, makeup and dressing up and doing my hair get a bit lax, and I end up falling into the ponytail lull and start wearing my favorite, staple outfits instead of trying anything new. So this week I wanted to be more conscious of my daily outfits and put together pieces in ways that I don't typically. And unlike most OOTD posts, I realized I don't have to label which brands I'm wearing, because I'm pretty sure that practically everything I own and wear to work is from Lane Bryant. I worked at an LB for three years during college before I started teaching, and the Sophie's Closet discount was just too tempting. Every few weeks I "needed" a new outfit or two. So over the past several years I've collected many items from LB that I continue to wear and that have held up over time. As I post photos, I'll check to see if I'm wearing anything not from LB...here goes:
Soooooo....yeah. Everything is from LB. With the exception of shoes. The brown flats and double-strap heels are from Victor. The black pointy-toe flats are Calvin Klein and look like patent-leather jellies. I think today's (Thursday's) outfit is my favorite simply because I rediscovered my love for this blazer. I bought it in the fall and wore it as more of a cool-weather jacket and have avoided it since then because I seem to stigmative all blazers as stiff and constricting. And so when I see them hanging in my closet, I too often pass them by, settling instead on a cardigan. But I already wore one of my black cardis this week, so I decided to give the blazer a shot. And I realized...I'm an idiot. An idiot for avoiding this beautiful blazer for so many months. It's a stretchy, corduroy blazer. Super-stretchy. Comfy. What was I thinking? Ah well. Rediscovered. Just in time for the weather to warm up and to force me to confine in to the back of my closet anyways. *sigh*
Jazzer-Bat is also enjoying outfit picture time because it provides more opportunities for her to jump on and "love" me before I leave for work in the morn. This morning I at least got her to sit down for a picture. She ceased the spazzing for a few seconds, anyways...
Besides reflecting on fashion, I also wanted to start documenting some of my cooking. Kyle and I love to cook together. Most of our other interests are entirely our own, so cooking and pairing food and drink have become hobbies of ours. I'm going to try to document one meal per week. And now that the farmer's market is coming alive with greens and veggies and fruits - and not just apples, potatoes, and meat - we'll be doing a lot of grilling. This week we bought steak; red meat is a rarity in our kitchen. Instead we eat lots of chicken, fish, shrimp, pork and vegetables. And a ton of mushrooms. And cheese. Every week. Back to our meal:
* Steak rubbed in salt & pepper and tossed on the grilled, cooked to medium rare
* Chunked russet potatoes tossed in olive oil and seasoning salt and roasted in the oven until crispy
* Sliced onions sauteed in olive and garlic until softened and browning; frozen peas tossed in and heated through
* Sliced tomatoes sprinkled with sea salt, dill, and fresh, local ricotta cheese
We paired dinner with a bottle of Dancing Bull Merlot. It's under $10 a bottle I think. I wouldn't buy it again. It's a little peppery and while an easy-drinking red, it just didn't have much of a finish.
After dinner, we had cream puffs that we bought from our new bakery, Glee. I've never had the desire to try a cream puff. They looked kind of like stale croissants. Nothing too appetizing. But our latest Bon Appetit had a short feature article on cream puffs and their description made me curious to at least try one. And now that I have, I'll be having another. Looks are deceiving. Not stale or tough at all. Soft and melt-away-in-your-mouth yummy and - crazy as it may seem - puffy. Ahaha. I have been missing out. We had some coffee alongside with a splash each of Kahlua and Grand Marnier. The. End.
For the past few weeks I haven't felt inspired to write...about teaching-related things, anyways. Perhaps it's that end-of-the-schoolyear teacheritis. Classes are winding down. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. And I want to finish off the year strong. So I work away for a few hours after school everyday, and when I get home my brain is fried. Can't. Handle. More. School. Stuff. In. The. Evening.
But I've really been missing writing in my blog. When I started up the blog as an experiment - as I'd be asking my students to keep them for the duration of certain units (and hopefully beyond!), I didn't expect the experience to be so nourishing and cathartic. But it's given me the opportunity to think on paper, to reflect, and I've missed it the past few weeks. And over the weekend, I was inspired to tackle some different topics in my blog. Other interests of mine often neglected because of my career obsession: fashion, make-up, food & wine, decorating, sight-seeing, shopping... This weekend I spent too many hours browsing other young womens' blogs and seeing their stories and photos about these neglected pieces of my life made me miss them that much more. And decide to be more "deliberate" about re-integrating them into my life.
So tonight I spent an hour browsing the web, looking for ideas to accessorize this dress that's been back-ordered for weeks and still has weeks before it will arrive. And because it is taking so long to show up on my doorstep, I've started getting the itch to shop for another dress to tide me over in the meantime. Because, ya know, that's healthy. And cash-conscious. And Kyle would be ever-so-thrilled. So instead I explored ways to build an outfit around the dress, most of the accessories being similar to something I already own. Just four more weeks?!?
And while I'm sure there's some online program out there that would make it easier to collage an outfit - something like polyvore.com - that would also require a decent internet connection. Which is something that our woodsy, little lake drive just doesn't offer. So until the interwebs can step it up beyond its slower-than-dial-up speed, assembling the images in OpenOffice (not even REAL Office) will do.

By the Scripture's Own Writers
"Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld." (Hebrews 11:1) Faith is an intellectual understanding and appreciation of God's Word and a confident reliance upon that Word. The true "Christian faith" is the sum of beliefs concerning Jehovah God and His Kingdom as delivered to us by His chosen Seed, Jesus Christ, and His inspired disciples. It is based upon the ancient Hebrew Scriptures, to which Jesus constantly made reference to support what He taught and to which later the inspired Greek Scriptures were added as a source of accurate knowledge for developing faith.
Jehovah, the Faithful God
Deuteronomy 7:9 "Know therefore that Jehovah your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and loving-kindness with them that love Him and keep His commandments to a thousand generations."
Faith Necessary for Relationship with God
Hebrews 11:6 "Without faith it is impossible to win His [God's] good pleasure, for he that approaches God must believe that He is and that He becomes the rewarder of those earnestly seeking Him."
Romans 10:13, 14 "For 'anyone that calls upon the Name of Jehovah will be saved'. However, how will they call upon him in whom they have not put faith? How, in turn, will they put faith in him of whom they have not heard? How, in turn, will they bear without someone to preach?"
God's Legal Recognition and Hope of New World Based on Faith
Genesis 15:6 "And he [Abraham] believed in Jehovah; and He reckoned it to him for righteousness."
Romans 5:1, 2 "Now that we have been declared righteous as a result of faith, let us enjoy peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have gained our approach by faith into this undeserved kindness in which we now stand."
Romans 4:13 "For it was not through law that Abraham or his seed had the promise that he should be heir of a world, but it was through the righteousness by faith."
Faith Is a Gift from God That Draws Men to Christ
Ephesians 2:8 "By this undeserved kindness, indeed, you have been saved through faith; and this not owing to you, it is God's gift."
John 6:44, 45, 47 "No man can come to me unless the Father, who sent Me, draws him, and I will resurrect him in the last day. It is written in the Prophets, 'And they will all be taught by Jehovah.' Everyone that has heard the Father's teaching and has learned comes to Me. Most truly I say to you, He that believes has everlasting life."
True Faith Founded upon Christ Jesus
Hebrews 12:2 "We look intently at the leader and perfecter of our faith, Jesus."
Colossians 1:23 "Provided, of course, that you continue in the faith, established on the foundation and steadfast and not being shifted away from the hope of that good news which you heard, and which was preached in all creation that is under heaven."
Acts 3:13, 15, 16 "The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our forefathers, has glorified his Servant, Jesus, whom you, for your part, delivered up and disowned before Pilate's face, when he had decided to release Him.. .. you killed the Chief Agent of life. But God raised Him up from the dead, of which fact we are witnesses. Consequently, His Name, by our faith in His Name, has made this man strong whom you behold and know, and the faith that is through Him has given the man this complete soundness in the sight of all of you."
1 Timothy 3:16 "Indeed, the sacred secret of this godly devotion is admittedly great: 'He was made manifest in flesh, was declared righteous in spirit, appeared to angels, was preached about among nations, was believed upon in the world, was received up in glory.' "
Faith in Christ's Ransom Leads to Salvation
Romans 3:24, 25 "It is as a free gift that they are being declared righteous by His undeserved kindness through the release by the ransom paid by Christ Jesus. God set Him forth as an offering for propitiation through faith in His blood."
1 Peter 1:8, 9 "Though you never saw Him, you love Him. Though you are not looking upon Him at present, yet you exercise faith in Him and are greatly rejoicing with an unspeakable and glorified joy, as you receive the accomplished end of your faith, the salvation of your souls."
Gift of Faith Must Be Developed According to Accurate Knowledge
2 Thessalonians 1:3 "We are obligated to give God thanks . .. because your faith is growing exceedingly and the love of each and all of you is increasing one toward the other."
Ephesians 4:13 "Until we all attain to the oneness in the faith and in the accurate knowledge of the Son of God."
Hebrews 6:1 "For this reason, now that we have left the elementary doctrine about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying a foundation again, namely, repentance from dead works, and faith toward God."
By Trials One's Faith Is Tested to Prove Its Quality
James 1:2, 3 "Consider it all joy, my brothers, when you meet with various trials, knowing as you do that this tested quality of your faith works out endurance."
1 Peter 1:6, 7 "You have been grieved by various trials, in order that the tested quality of your faith, of much greater value than gold that perishes despite its being proved by fire, may be found a cause for praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ."
1 Corinthians 10:13 "But God is faithful and He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear."
Added to Your Faith Must Be Works and Virtue
James 2:17, 26 "Faith, if it does not have works, is dead in itself. Indeed, as the body without breath is dead, so also faith without works is dead."
2 Peter 1:5 "Supply to your faith virtue."
Faith Removes Obstacles Hindering True Worship
Matthew 17:20 "For truly I say to you, If you have faith the size of a mustard grain, you will say to this mountain, 'Transfer from here to there,' and it will transfer, and nothing will be impossible for you."
1 Corinthians 13:2 "If I have all the faith so as to transplant mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing."
1 Timothy 6:12 "Contend for victory in the right contest of the faith, get a firm hold on the everlasting life for which you were called."
Hebrews 11:33 "Who through faith defeated kingdoms in conflict."
Overcomes the Devil and the World
1 Peter 5:9 "But take your stand against him [the Devil], solid in the faith, knowing that the same things in the way of sufferings are being accomplished in the entire association of your brothers in the world."
John 5:4 "And this is the conquest that has conquered the world, our faith."
Keep Healthy in the Faith
2 Corinthians 13:5 "Keep testing whether you are in the faith, keep proving what you yourselves are."
Titus 1:13 "For this very cause keep on reproving them with severity, that they may be healthy in the faith."
Faith Governs a Christian's Life-Course
2 Corinthians 5:7 "We are walking by faith, not by sight."
Hebrews 10:38; Habakkuk 2:4 "But My righteous one will live by reason of faith."
2 Timothy 4:7 "I have run the course to the finish, I have observed the faith."
Lack of Faith the 'Sin That Easily Entangles'
Hebrews 3:12 "Beware, brothers, for fear there should ever develop in any one of you a wicked heart lacking faith by drawing away from the living God."
Romans 11:20 "For their lack of faith they were broken off, but you are standing by faith. Quit having lofty ideas, but be in fear."
Hebrews 12:1 "Let us also put off every weight and the sin that easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us."
Matthew 13:58 "And He [Jesus] did not do many powerful works there on account of their lack of faith."
Strong Faith Gives Protection Against Wicked Demons
Ephesians 6:16 "Above all things, take up the large shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the wicked one's burning missiles."
1 Thessalonians 5:8 "Let us keep our senses and have on the breastplate of faith."

Systemic stem cell therapy reduces malignant mesothelioma growth
medwireNews: Systemic delivery of stem cells expressing an apoptosis-inducing protein can successfully incorporate into malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) cells and subsequently induce their death, according to preclinical study findings.
While further validation is needed, the research opens up the possibility of using stem cell therapy to decrease tumour burden in this rare and largely untreatable type of lung cancer.
"Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are attractive candidates as vectors for anticancer therapies for a variety of reasons," say Sam Janes (University College London, UK) and colleagues who performed the study.
Indeed, in vitro studies have shown that MSCs migrate towards tumour cells and in vivo studies that they can then incorporate into a variety of cancer cell types. This is true in a variety of cancer cell types, including lung metastases. MSCs can also be delivered intravenously as well as intrapleurally.
"In this study, we show for the first time that MSCs expressing TRAIL (MSCTRAIL) induce apoptosis in MPM cells in vitro," Janes and team report in Thorax. TRAIL, or tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand, is a transmembrane protein and an "exciting anticancer molecule", the team explains.
Recombinant TRAIL has been tested in early clinical trials and shown promising results, but its short half-life of 32 minutes means that it would require multiple infusions to have any sustained therapeutic effect.
"MSCs home to and incorporate into tumours in vivo when delivered via both intrapleural and intravenous routes," the team notes, so using these cells to deliver TRAIL is an interesting prospect for malignant mesothelioma, which is often too diffuse to surgically remove or does not respond well to chemotherapy.
The researchers used a variety of methods to show that MSCTRAIL could kill MPM cells in vitro and then home in on, and kill, tumour cells in animal model of malignant mesothelioma. Dual fluorescence and bioluminescent imaging were used to track the movement of the stem cells.
While both intrapleural and intravenous delivery of the stem cells was able to decrease the tumour burden in mice, intravenous administration appeared to have a greater effect. MSCTRAIL also resulted in a greater level of cell death when compared with treatment with recombinant TRAIL in vitro.
"The therapeutic effect seen with intravenous delivery could be related to greater engraftment of MSCs within the tumour and is an important finding when considering the future therapeutic role of MSCTRAIL therapy in the clinic," the researchers conclude.
