English translation: Hazy Lee from ECI
The short film directed by actor Jang Keun Suk "The Great Legacy", is selected to be screened on the Bucheon International Film Festival (BiFan) under the Fantastic short film category.
Jang Keun Suk who is a post graduate student in Hanyang University, filmed "The Great Legacy" with his fellow classmates second half of last year. The short film is a story about a father who left behind a bank passbook as he lost consciousness, and the son who remains indifferent to his father's condition, but was more concerned on looking for the bank passbook. This short film which noticeably reflected the directing skills of Jang Keun Suk, brings about much excitement and refreshing anticipation to the audience.
What's most special is that the department screening this film is the "Fantastic short film" division, who focus on presenting interesting works which are full of imagination, and is well liked by many. Hence, we can see a new aspect of Jang Keun Suk through this.
Jang Keun Suk said "most people in real life often neglects the love of the father, however, the fathers in this generation are just not used to openly expressing themselves. Hence to many of us, fathers are usually more distant, and precisely due to the fact, many may not realize we may not get to call out the name of our father, not even once in our lifetime." He explained the insights of the film from the viewpoint of the director, which makes everyone even more curious about this film.
Not only so, his 2012 film "Is it alright to live like this?" won Japan's "Short Shorts Film and Festival (SSFS&Asia) 2012" special prize. Jang Keun Suk took 4 roles in 1, including the role of director, lead actor, editor, took 13 hours continuously to complete editing this film, creating much hot discussions around then.
After that, whether as an actor or director, presenting different facets of him, brings about much attention on his activities in the film industry. Jang Keun Suk short film "The Great Legacy" will be screened in BiFan from July 21 to 31.Share on Facebook

First Options of Chicago, Inc. v. Kaplan
RESPONDENT: Kaplan
LOCATION: Spendthrift Farm
DECIDED BY: Rehnquist Court (1986-2005)
LOWER COURT: United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit
ARGUED: Mar 22, 1995
DECIDED: May 22, 1995
James D. Holzhauer - Argued the cause for the petitioner
John D. Roberts, Jr. - for respondents
Facts of the case
After the October 1987 stock market crash, First Options of Chicago, Inc., a firm that clears stock trades on the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, demanded that Manuel Kaplan, his wife, and his wholly owned investment company, MK Investments, Inc. (MKI) immediately pay the entire MKI debt. When First Options' demands for payment went unsatisfied, it sought arbitration by a panel of the Philadelphia Stock Exchange based on workout agreements, which governed the working out of debts owned by Kaplan, his wife, and MKI. MKI, which had signed the only workout document containing an arbitration agreement, submitted to arbitration, but the Kaplans, who had not signed that document, filed objections with the panel. The Kaplans argued that their disagreement with First Options not was arbitrable. After deciding that they had the power to rule on the dispute's merits, the arbitrators ruled in First Options' favor. Ultimately, the Court of Appeals reversed the award, finding that the dispute was not arbitrable. The appellate court concluded that courts should independently decide whether an arbitration panel has jurisdiction over a dispute, and that it would apply ordinary standards of review when considering the District Court's denial of a motion to vacate the arbitration award.
Is the arbitrability of disputes subject to independent review by the courts? Should courts of appeals apply an "abuse of discretion" standard when reviewing district court upholding arbitration awards?
Media for First Options of Chicago, Inc. v. KaplanAudio Transcription for Oral Argument - March 22, 1995 in First Options of Chicago, Inc. v. Kaplan
Audio Transcription for Opinion Announcement - May 22, 1995 in First Options of Chicago, Inc. v. Kaplan
William H. Rehnquist:
The opinion of the court in number 94-560 First Options of Chicago v. Kaplan will be announced by Justice Breyer.
Stephen G. Breyer:
First Options, a securities company said that MKI, an investment company owed it some money and that MKI's owners; the Kaplan should make up any deficiency.
There was no agreement on this.
The whole thing went to arbitration.
The Kaplans protested; they said, "We never agreed to arbitrate."
The arbitrators bet, "Oh yes, you did" and then they went to court and the court said "No, the Kaplans didn't ever agree to arbitrate" and we agree to review two questions growing out of this.
The first question is should a court review an arbitrator's decision like this one saying, "You all agreed to arbitrate"? Should a court review that independently or should it defer to the arbitrator?
Now, this question is not about the merits, it's not even about whether the merits are arbitral, it's about who should basically decide whether the merits are arbitral, the court or the arbitrators?
The answer to the question is easy.
It depends upon what the parties agree, what do the parties agree who should decide the matter?
That's because arbitration is a matter of contract and the courts normally look to the party's intentions as with any other contract.
It isn't quite like any other matter.
As the law does assume if there is silence, if there is ambiguity, the court assumes that the parties want the judges to decide the matter independently unless they clearly indicate it to the contrary that's because this matter is rather arcane, the parties probably didn't think about it and this presumption more or less in the general rule accords with their likely intent.
The Kaplans here did not clearly say they wanted the arbitrators to decide arbitrability so they win.
The second question is what standards did Courts of Appeals use when they review a District Court decision confirming in arbitration award?
One circuit says especially lenient standard.
The other circuit say normal standards.
We decide that that single circuit a voice crying in the wilderness is wrong.
We agree with the other circuits.
A court should use normal standards not some special lenient standard, that's because the way Courts of Appeals review District Courts is really a function of their comparative expertise and function not a question of the desirability of some substantive outcome.
The judgment of the Third Circuit is affirmed.
The opinion is unanimous.

Salesforce from the Telekom Cloud
Salesforce Sales Cloud simplifies customer management through automated processes, such as maintenance of customer database or when creating campaigns and documents. Salesforce Sales Cloud also supports the connection with customers, partners, experts and colleagues from other departments.
Individual customer journeys thanks to Salesforce Cloud applications
State-of-the-art CRM systems help companies achieve targeted, personalized interaction. As the global number one in enterprise cloud computing and customer relationship management, Salesforce focuses on the automation and digitization of all sales processes. Whether for new or existing customers, distributors, business partners, or within teams: integration in the cloud opens up entirely new possibilities for establishing and maintaining closer, more valuable customer relationships. In addition to sales, marketing, and service, this also encompasses HR and supply chain management. After all, a solution must be integrated throughout the company to truly capture the full potential of an end-to-end platform from the public cloud.
Top customer relationship management and customer service across all channels
When all data is available centrally from the cloud, regardless of location and across all devices, companies get a detailed view of the entire customer history. As a result, inquiries can be handled much more efficiently – and customer satisfaction increases. At the same time, combined business analyses give the Sales and Marketing departments a 360-degree view of the customer, enabling them to develop individual customer journeys and custom-tailored offerings, as well as identify potential sales opportunities early on. Another benefit: the automation of routine tasks frees up capacities, enabling advisors to fully concentrate on customer care.

Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A
Love is such a big word. It covers a gamut of definitions and means something different to most everyone. But Christ brought an entirely new and radical meaning to the word. In him, we come to understand that love is more than an emotion, a choice, a commitment or an attitude. Love is a person. His name is Jesus Christ. If we want to know what love means, therefore, we must look at Jesus Christ. Love is not just sweet platitudes. Love is a person, not just any person, but God, who forsook his divinity in order to take on our humanity. Yes, love is a person who has laid down his life for us, and by doing so, demonstrates to us the true depths and most profound meaning of that love. This is how Paul describes Christ's love. "For at the very time when we were still powerless, then Christ died for the wicked. Even for a just man one of us would hardly die, though perhaps for a good man one might actually brave death; but Christ died for us while we were yet sinners, and that is God's own proof of his love towards us" (Rom. 5:6-8).
If you still remember, Jesus had survived last week's trap set by the Jewish leaders concerning the legitimacy of paying taxes to the Roman Emperor. One of the scribes, having heard Jesus' responses, decides to offer a question of his own. Recognising the quality of Jesus' knowledge, he asks a question about a foremost matter, a major topic of rabbinical debates. "which is the greatest commandment of the Law?" Now this may seem like a silly kindie' level question to many of us, but for the Jews of Jesus' time, it was a real challenge to discern which of the supposed 613 (some would say 615, and still others would put the number in the thousands) laws or commandments was indeed the most important one. Any sense of direction had fallen victim to the maze of countless commandments and numerous enumerations. Now, Jesus restores the priorities in no uncertain terms.
Love of God before anything else, as the response of the entire person to God's total self-giving covenant: love him with your mind, yes, but on a deeper level, with your heart, and incorporating both, with all your soul. In other words, it is loving God with our entire being. Nothing is to be held back. Love doesn't allow for a compartmentalisation that reserves certain sections of our lives. Neither is this love compromised even in the face of the love we have to offer someone, for example, a wife's love for her husband or a husband's love for his wife, or their love for their children and vice versa. The love of neighbour can never take precedence over love of God. In all instances, love of God must come first in its totality.
If we have given everything to God, then how can we make sense of the second part of the Great Commandment, to love our neighbour as ourselves? Here, Jesus, who is both God and man, joins the love of God and the love of neighbour inseparably for eternity. Loving those around us is not competition for our undivided love of God. Rather loving our neighbour is evidence of our love for God. And no exceptional standard of ethics and morality can be valid without love of our neighbour.
But Jesus does not stop there. In what is probably the most striking part of his answer to the question, he makes all the other laws and the prophets' explications of them dependent on this double commandment as the norm and standard for all morality. It is first and greatest in that it represents the heart-beat of all the commandments. Love moves the Christian beyond the letter of the law by doing "more", and never "less." Jesus here erects the fundamental structure for all Christian ethics. It's not about being good, or neighbourly, or just being nice, it's always about love. Love indeed is the Law. Some people make the mistake of pitting love against law, as if the two were mutually exclusive. You either have a religion of love or a religion of law. But such an equation is profoundly untenable as it finds no basis in Sacred Scripture. For starters, "love" is a command of the law. Conversely, if you tell them law doesn't matter, then neither does love, which is the summary of the law. Furthermore, for Jesus there is no love for him apart from keeping the law. But he says even more than this. Jesus connects communion with God with keeping commandments. This is because God's law is an expression of his loving grace.
Unlike what the song "Love is the Law" suggests, love does not mean licentiousness, a celebration of anarchy, or a carefree plunging into sinful behaviour. Some people today understand "love" as merely a happy feeling of friendliness or good will. They think that, provided they feel good about the idea of God, they may do as they please. Jesus' teaching on the Great Commandment and his own demonstration by his sacrifice on the cross demolishes the myth. As anyone who serves others out of love knows, we can only love when we are prepared to undergo a death to the self, to the flesh. Those who indulge their own flesh are not the ones who tend to serve others. Thus, our freedom in Christ is not merely a freedom from the enslavement to the world, and certainly not freedom from the enslavement of the Law, but a call to a new type of service, the responsibility to serve others out of love. It is the opportunity to love God with our entire being, heart, soul, and mind, and our neighbour without hindrance, the possibility of creating human communities based on mutual self-giving rather than the quest for power and status. Licentiousness, on the other hand, perverts God's grace by insisting that we can live without conscience or moral convictions.
Through this two-fold Great Commandment, Jesus provides us with wise directions to navigate between two dangerous pitfalls. On the one side, Jesus directs us beyond legalism, which always tries to settle for the minimal requirements of the law, by reminding us that true communion with God demands not just a portion of our attention and love, but everything. On the other side, he leads us beyond an irresponsible idea of freedom, a licentious permissiveness, by indicating that there is no contradiction between the Law of Christ and Love. If we say that we truly love God, then we must obey Him in every way and not just be contented with having good feelings or wishes. And finally, loving God empowers us and frees us to love other people, without the usual strings attached. The demand of love reminds us that we should never settle for a minimum concern for neighbours, but instead go the extra mile, to give without expecting anything in return and finally even to emulate the example of Our Lord, to lay down of our lives for the other, for which there is no greater love.

In 2018, Africa was once again home to many of the world's fastest growing economies. It also has the largest share of 'miserable' countries in the world. The reality behind the African story is far more complex than conventional linear economics of 'ups' and 'downs'. The rich tapestry of culture, politics, society and other contextual issues make straight-line extrapolations and a general understanding for strategic decisions and day-to-day operations difficult.
Meanwhile, the global context has changed dramatically since the global financial crisis in 2008. A shift in political sentiment and economic liberalism around the world is having a direct impact on African economies and its people. Firms and leaders need to develop a deeper understanding of the shifts and changes under way. In Africa a more granular grasp of individual markets beyond broad generalisations, macroeconomic reports and office-based advisory is crucial.
Africa in the Global Economic Context
Globally, 2019 could be one of the brightest growth prospect we have seen since the global financial crisis ten years ago. In recent years, however, the global economy has been firmly entrenched in a 'low growth paradigm'. Following the golden era of growth in the emerging world, which came to an abrupt end circa-2015, a range of new complexities and geopolitical changes on the global stage have shaped a very different outlook to the one seen a decade ago. These complexities and uncertainty have come to define the current global order and the 'new normal', which Africa is firmly part of.
Join JBS for a 3-hour masterclass to better understand the complexities of Africa within the global economic context, and to explore some competitive strategies for success.
Discussion points:
Date: 1 February 2019
Venue: The Johannesburg Business School
Time: 09:00 – 12:00
Cost: R750 pp. Breakfast included
For more information email us on firstname.lastname@example.com
Facilitator: Prof Lyal White: Senior Director of the Johannesburg Business School (JBS) at the University of Johannesburg. Prof White writes and advises on strategic thinking, execution and political economy in Africa, Asia and Latin America relevant to business and policy makers.

Getting jiggy wit it: Janathon Day 23
The lurgy is lurking – but it wasn't going to stop me going to my dance class.
Despite the opportunity for legit Hawaii hands, Simon opted instead to exhaust us with a high tempo sweaty routine.
It involved the Roger Rabbit (the reverse Running Man) and the Dance Machine, some Top Rocks and some toe-heel-switching move that […]

Bustin' more moves – Janathon Day 17
Despite last night's bump, I was not going to let the snow stop me getting to my dance class.
I'd asked Simon if we could do a routine to my favourite Bruno Mars track and bless him, he obliged.
Louise complained she was too busy singing along to concentrate on getting the moves right – and we […]

Recycled Silk Collection
USE IT! We don't like throwing away our silk and we obviously get left with offcuts so we have set this USE IT Collection up to make use of as much of our silk as possible. We still will not throw any away that we have left over as we will come up with an idea of how best to use it at some point. Some of our left over stock also goes to charity. Not only is this a good waste management project but it also provides a mini industry for workers across the world.

MONTVALE, N.J., Jan. 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- PENTAX Medical, a division of the HOYA Group, Tokyo, Japan announced today that they have acquired C2 Therapeutics, Redwood City, CA for an undisclosed amount. C2 Therapeutics develops the C2 CryoBalloon™ Ablation System for the endoscopic ablation of unwanted tissue such as Barrett's esophagus1. This acquisition will help strengthen the company's therapeutic endoscopy portfolio.
PENTAX Medical's Global Chief Marketing Officer, David Woods, states: "The C2 CryoBalloon™ Ablation System has the potential to improve the lives of millions of people around the world with pre-cancerous lesions of the esophagus." Barrett's esophagus and squamous dysplasia are both conditions in which the epithelial cells in the lining of the esophagus abnormally change to form "pre-cursor" lesions. If left untreated, these lesions can progress to esophageal cancer in some patients. The C2 CryoBalloon™ Ablation System provides the interventional endoscopist with a means to deliver a targeted dose of cryogen (extreme cold) to ablate these tissues immediately. Esophageal cancer is the 6th leading cause of cancer deaths in the world2 with a five-year survival rate of 18%3 and is the fastest growing form of cancer in the United States4 today.
Woods continued: "In western cultures, obesity and high incident rates of Gastroesophageal Reflux disease (GERD) have contributed to the estimated 3.3 million5 people living with Barrett's esophagus in the United States. In eastern populations, the epidemiology is different, the prevalent disease is squamous dysplasia. An estimated 10 million6,7 people have squamous dysplasia in Asia and according to some studies over 50% of squamous dysplasia will lead to cancer7. We plan to continue working with thought leaders from around the world to further develop the C2 CryoBalloon™ Ablation System and commercialize the technology with clinically relevant strategies that meet the therapeutic and economic needs of these targeted patient populations."
For PENTAX Medical, this acquisition expands the company's role in the gastroenterology suites around the world from being a provider of advanced imaging for diagnostics, to now providing advanced therapeutic solutions as well. "Our investment in C2 Therapeutics is continued evidence of our commitment to bring best in class imaging along with cutting-edge technology that helps the therapeutic endoscopist access, visualize and treat disease while minimizing trauma and lowering the cost of healthcare," said Gerald W. Bottero, Global President, PENTAX Medical. "We will continue to make additional strategic investments in these areas in the future to improve clinical outcomes and reduce healthcare costs."
Peter Garcia Meza, President of C2 Therapeutics said: "PENTAX Medical's investment will enable C2 to continue our work with clinicians in the field, build our body of evidence and develop the platform to its full potential."
George Triadafilopoulos, MD, Clinical Professor of Medicine specializing in Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Stanford University School of Medicine says, "Esophageal adenocarcinoma is on the rise in the West while squamous esophageal cancer remains rampant in Asia and Africa. Nevertheless, using various modern endoscopic high-resolution techniques we are increasingly recognizing early and potentially curable esophageal cancer. The use of the CryoBalloon™ (C2 Therapeutics, Redwood City, CA, USA) allows the endoscopist to noninvasively eradicate pre-cancerous esophageal dysplasia by freezing the abnormal tissue safely, comfortably and effectively. The technology uses an affordable and easy to use platform of a conformable and self-sizing balloon that can be used through the endoscope as a primary, curative therapy. The acquisition of C2 Therapeutics is poised to dramatically expand Pentax from an established diagnostic optical technology into a therapeutic one with a global impact."
US ONLY: The C2 CryoBalloon™ Ablation System is intended for use as a cryosurgical tool in the field of general surgery, specifically for endoscopic applications, to include ablation of Barrett's Esophagus with dysplasia.

Enhanced Functional Recovery After Sciatic Nerve Crush Injury
Supaporn Mucimapura
Jintanaporn Wattanathorn
Sittisak Thongrong
Kowit Chaisiwamongkol
Bungorn Sripanidkulchai
Problem statement:
Traumatic nerve injury has been recognized as one of the problems commonly found in road traffic crashes. Therefore, searching for the effective substances for promoting the functional recovery of nerve after injury is in required. Accumulating lines of evidence show that free radicals generated after injury contribute the important role to retard functional recovery, thus the substance possessing anti-oxidant could facilitate functional recovery. Based on the effect of antioxidant to promote functional recovery of nerve after injury mentioned earlier, we hypothesized that
Morus alba
extract, a substance possessing anti-oxidant activity, should be able to facilitate the functional recovery of peripheral nerve after injury.
To elucidate this issue, male Wistar rats, weighing 180-220 g, were orally given the aqueous extract of
Morus alba
at various doses ranging from 0.1, 1 and 10 mg kg
BW 5days before and 21 days after sciatic nerve injury. Motor, sensory and sensorimotor coordination were observed every 3 days for 3 weeks by using De Medinacelli method, foot reflex withdrawal test and rotarod test, respectively.
The low dose of the extract significantly improved both sensory and motor functions after crush injury. Although sensory function recovers more sooner than the motor function, it fails to show full recovery within weeks. Thus, the present study demonstrates the potential of
M. alba
extract to enhance functional recovery after crush injury.
In conclusion,
Morus alba
may serve as functional food to promote nerve recovery after injury. However, further studies about the possible active ingredient (s) and underlying mechanism (s) are required.
Screening Neuropharmacological Activities of
Kaempferia parviflora
(Krachai Dam) in Healthy Adult Male Rats
Thaneeya Hawiset
Supaporn Muchimapura
Jintanaporn Wattanathorn
Bungorn Sripanidkulchai
Problem statement:
Although the global prevalence of psychological disorders is increasing continually, the efficacies of therapeutic strategies are still very limited. Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of psychiatric disorders and substance possessing antioxidant activity can alleviate the mentioned conditions. Therefore, we hypothesized that
Kaempferia parviflora
, a medicinal plant claimed for nerve tonic, also possessed the neuropharmacological activities which provide the advantage for psychiatric disorders.
Adult male Wistar rats, weighing 180-220 grams, were orally given the ethanolic extract of
at doses of 150, 200 and 250 mg kg
BW once daily for 2 weeks. Then, they were determined the neuropharmacological activities including anxiolytic, anti-depression like behavior and cognitive enhancement after single dose, 1 and 2 weeks of treatment.
possessed anti-depression like behavior and cognitive enhancement at all treatment duration. Unfortunately, this substance failed to show anxiolytic like activity.
Our results suggested that
might be used as a novel therapeutic strategy for psychiatric disorder and cognitive enhancement. However, further investigations about precise underlying mechanism are still required.
Interference of Thai Traditional Medicine (Yahom Ampanthong) on Hepatic Cytochrome P450 Enzymes and Pentobarbital-Induced Sleeping in Mice
Wanna Sirisangtrakul
Bungorn Sripanidkulchai
Yahom Ampanthong, a Thai traditional medicine, is commonly used for treatment of nausea, vomiting and syncope. Its formula is composed of more than 10 medicinal plants. Currently, the herbal-drug interactions were reported among the case of co-administration of traditional and Western medicines, since cytochrome P450 enzymes involve in drug metabolism and affect the drug action. This study aimed to investigate the effects of Yahom extracts on hepatic cytochrome P450 enzymes and pentobarbital-induced sleeping in mice. Powder of Yahom Ampanthong was extracted with three different solvents, i.e., dichloromethane, methanol and distilled water. The activities of CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP2B, CYP2E1 and CYP3A4 were determined after the administration of Yahom extracts for 4 weeks. All three extracts significantly inhibited CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP2E1 activities. In contrast, only dichloromethane and methanol extracts enhanced CYP2B activity. However, all three extracts did not affect CYP3A4 activity. When compared to the control group, the dichloromethane extract-treated animals showed shorter pentobarbital-induced sleeping time after treatment for 1 and 4 weeks. In conclusion, Yahom Ampanthong extracts modulated hepatic microsomal cytochrome P450 activities and decreased the pentobarbital-induced sleeping time. Therefore, the concomitant administration of Yahom with certain drugs may give rise to the herbal-drug interaction, which may affect the clinical implication of drug actions.
Curcuma comosa
Prevents the Neuron Loss and Affects the Antioxidative Enzymes in Hippocampus of Ethanol-treated Rats
Jian Su
Kittisak Sripanidkulchai
Ying Hu
Bungorn Sripanidkulchai
Curcuma comosa
Roxb. is widely used as a gynaecological traditional medicine in South-East Asia and recent behavioral studies have shown that
C. comosa
extract significantly improved the spatial memory in rats. The present study investigated the protective effects of
Curcuma comosa
hexane extract on the ethanol (EtOH)-induced oxidation in rat brains. Young female Wistar rats were given 20% of EtOH intraperitoneally to induce the oxidative stress. Subsequently,
C. comosa
hexane extract was intraperitoneally co-administered at the doses of 100 and 250 mg kg
b.wt. to the EtOH-induced rats for 14 days. The neuron densities of CA1, CA3 and CA4 areas of the hippocampus were counted and the activities of hippocampal Catalase (CAT), Glutathione Peroxidase (GPx) and Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) were determined. EtOH significantly decreased the neuron densities in Cornu Ammonis (CA), including CA1 and CA3 areas; however, the decrease was prevented by
C. comosa
co-administration. EtOH administration also increased the CAT and GPx activities in the hippocampus which were reversed by
C. comosa
co-administration. Moreover,
C. comosa
administration increased the SOD activity in a dose-dependent manner in the EtOH treated groups.
C. comosa
prevented the neuron loss in the hippocampus caused by EtOH. The possible neural protective mechanism may involve with the changes in activities of the antioxidant enzymes in the hippocampus.

Study the Bible
Because It Is the Word of God
Students pour over textbooks daily trying to learn pieces of knowledge that man has accumulated over time. Youthful scientists sit with mouths agape as they read the genius of Albert Einstein. Scholars tingle with excitement at the discovery of additional writings of such men. How much more should we tremble in both awe and delight every time we open the Bible? For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart (Hebrew 4:12).
The Bible is the written record of what your Creator has spoken to you (2 Peter 1:21). It amazes me that people will listen to the words of the President of the United States because of how his policy may affect the world, that people will listen to advice from a broker because of how it may affect them financially (When E.F. Hutton talks, people listen.), that people will listen to celebrities and sports figures when determining their next purchase, but that few people truly listen to God when he speaks through the pages of Holy Writ! When Jesus said, It is written (Matthew 4:1-11), the power in these words came not from the fact that they had been recorded, but because God had spoken them.
The Bible is Gods own breath. Paul said in 2 Timothy 3:16, All scripture is given by inspiration of God. This phrase could be translated literally, All scripture is God-breathed. This is a very personal way of describing Gods communication with man. The Bible is not a series of stories and provisions originating with God that have undergone constant revision for so long that their origin is of little consequence. When we read the very words of the Bible (1 Corinthians 2:10-13), it is as if God is in our very presence, uttering these words, so that we can feel his breath as he speaks to us. This is a message coming straight from the heart of God to the ears of all mankind.
The Bible is God describing and revealing himself. In many ways, the Bible is Gods autobiography, because throughout its pages it either says or implies, This is who I am. When the Bible says, In the beginning God created . . . it has described an eternal, omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent spiritual Being. As we read the New Testament, the life of Jesus Christ and related teachings, our God exposes us in a more complete way to his moral character. Jesus Christ himself is an explanation of God (John 1:18), so everything about him leads us to a better understanding of God (1 Peter 1:16; John 4:24; 1 John 1:5; 4:8). As God thus describes himself to us in the pages of the Bible, he also includes his actions on behalf of mankind. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8).
God had something to say to mankind. God had something that he wanted us to know. For this reason, he inspired the Bible, his personal message for mankind. That God has spoken to you should be more than adequate reason for you to study the Bible.
Because It is the Only Way to Salvation
One need only humbly observe the universe to conclude that man is but a lowly creature subject to the design of an omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent Being. We should realize our dependency in the daily needs of life-food, oxygen and water. We might think that we had done something by going to get them or by taking them in, but the fact is that they were there for us already. Therefore, recognizing that we are but creatures and therefore subject to our Creator, who is greater than we are in every way, we should then wonder what our responsibilities are to him. Though the natural revelation of creation demonstrates the existence of God and our need for God, and though we can have a sense of morality as a result of God having introduced that concept originally to free moral agents, only through Gods special revelation, the Bible, can we understand that our primary obligation is complete obedience and that, having sinned, our primary need is now forgiveness from that sin (Romans 3:10-11).
You only learn of sin by studying the Bible. You may feel the twinge of the conscience when you fail to meet the expectations of social mores, but you can only understand right and wrong by reading Gods Word. It alone reveals Gods will and law for mankind (James 1:25). Having now been revealed, it shows us what sin is, for sin is the transgression of the law (1 John 3:4). The Bible is also the only means by which you can learn what you need to know about Jesus Christ. Although the ancient historians Josephus and Tacitus refer to him, only the Bible explains fully his identity and reason for coming to the earth (John 3:16; 1 John 3:8). Without full and correct knowledge of Jesus Christ, salvation from sin is impossible because Jesus is the only way (John 14:6) and authority (Acts 4:12) by which God will forgive (Acts 2:38). Only the Bible describes the Person of Jesus and his mission, making it the only source of true faith in him (Romans 10:17; John 8:24). Therefore, you can only learn how to be saved from this book (2 Timothy 3:15). Many act as if the Bible is irrelevant to salvation. They want to rely on their subjective feelings and imagined contact with the Holy Spirit, when the Holy Spirit uses the message of the gospel as his instrument to convict and convert (John 16:8; Acts 2:14-42) through the preaching of that message by Christs disciples (Mark 16:15-16).
James wrote, Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls (James 1:21). Stuck in quicksand with time running out, God has thrown us a rope strengthened with the same mighty power that created this world. The Gospel is able to save, but we must take hold of it, use it and then go in the direction of the rope (James 4:8).
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith (Romans 1:16-17).
In Order to Prove All Things
It has been said on more than one occasion, You can prove anything from the Bible. What this generally means is that, if you want to twist the context of passages and omit a few things here and there, you can create any number of doctrines, as the denominational world bears witness. Obviously, then, some people study the Bible for this purpose. However, Pauls brief imperative to the Thessalonians carries a meaning quite different from the application cited above. He said,
Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil (1 Thessalonians 5:21-22).
Instead of approving any interpretation made from Gods Word, Paul, by inspiration, cites the necessity of discerning the difference between right and wrong and then clinging to what is right¾not only in doctrine, but also in practice. The word translated prove, examine and test in our English versions means literally to put to a test in order to verify genuineness. It is the word Peter uses to describe being tried by fire, in reference to the smelting process whereby precious metals could be distinguished from those with similar appearance (1 Peter 1:7). Thus, it is implied that we should put all doctrines and activities to a strenuous test in order to determine what is indeed good. John mentioned the same process when he told us to try the spirits (1 John 4:1). In other words, we must not listen and accept whatever someone says about the Bible. We must verify not only that the verses cited are correct but that the teaching fits the overall context. Luke said of the Bereans that, These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so (Acts 17:11). The test that any doctrine and practice must pass is the test of truth (John 17:17). If it is not true, it has no value to man. Therefore, we should earnestly apply ourselves to the study of the Bible, for only through diligent effort will we learn what has Gods approval so that we can hold tightly to it. Since God has revealed all things that pertain unto life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3) and given us the responsibility of using this information properly (John 12:48; 1 Corinthians 10:13), it behooves us to give our utmost to knowing and doing Gods will there revealed.
Therefore, instead of making assertions such as, The Bible doesnt say its wrong, and arguing with Bible class teachers and preachers to accept our opinion as valid, we all have the responsibility of going to the standard of right and wrong, Gods Word, in order to verify that what we are taught is truth and to test our own beliefs against what God actually says. It is easy to believe a lie if it appeals to us (2 Thessalonians 2:10-11). After all, appeal is what temptation is all about (1 John 2:15-17). So we must study the Bible vigorously to know beyond any doubt (Romans 14:23; Romans 10:17) that what we believe and what we practice does indeed have Christs stamp of approval (Colossians 3:17) and is righteous (Romans 1:17).
To Be Approved unto God
We are all seeking approval in one way or another. Young children look for the approval of parents and grandparents. Teenagers often look for approval among their peers. In marriage, we all seek someone who will validate our self-worth and approve of us despite our (sometimes-obvious) flaws. Some have had a desire for approval that became a stumblingblock. For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God (John 12:43). Having approval is an important component of our psychological and social makeup. Seeking approval is a vital aspect of life because of how it positively motivates us to improve ourselves without our needing any immediate reward. But these examples demonstrate how important it is whose approval we value most, because this will determine our ultimate direction in life. Luke writes that Jesus increased . . . in favour with God and man (Luke 2:52).
When Paul wrote to Timothy, he told him, Study to shew thyself approved unto God, and workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15). Above all others, we should desire and long for Gods approval. It should matter to us what he thinks of us, and it should matter most to us what it takes to have his approval. When we love God with our whole being (Matthew 22:37-38), we will give our all to doing what makes him happy, to the point of ignoring what others might want and even denying our own intuition as well (Luke 9:23). But to have Gods approval requires us to give all diligence to learning what has Gods approval and then to dedicate ourselves to doing it. As Paul states, we can only learn these things by rightly dividing the word of truth. Many people vainly attempt to claim they have Gods approval¾for their lives, their activities and their doctrines¾instead of delving into the revealed truth of Gods Word (John 17:17) and then making the necessary adjustments¾to their lives, to their activities and to their doctrines. But claiming Gods approval and having Gods approval are two separate and distinct entities. The Jews claimed to have Gods approval; Jesus studied and lived so as to possess it. On Pentecost Peter told the Jews, Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know (Acts 2:22). His point is not that Christs miracles created Gods approval, but that God demonstrated his approval for Christs life and message through them.
People often make appeals to God in prayer seeking his approval. They sometimes live according to conscience, as if this alone assures Gods approval (Acts 23:1). Many assume that they have Gods approval because they are religious or attend services regularly. But the only way to have Gods approval is to devote yourself to learning his will as it is revealed in the Bible and then doing it. Then, and only then, can we have the assurance of hearing, Well done, thou good and faithful servant (Matthew 25:21).
In Order to Grow Spiritually
Far too often we direct our Bible study toward confirming what we know instead of learning so as to grow. We sit passively in Bible Study, silently disagreeing with the teacher yet unwilling to allow our own beliefs to be tested. We believe that if we understand the words given that we also understand the background, context, deeper implications and application that go with those words. We confuse Bible reading with Bible study and often judge accuracy according to what we have always believed instead of by what the Bible actually says. Therefore, in our Bible study we have conditioned ourselves NOT to learn and NOT to grow. Spiritual growth requires being challenged and then meeting that challenge. It takes more than just attendance, more than quoting a few scriptures, more than reading a commentary or two. Neither is spirituality the sum of emotional highs maintained by constant hugging. In order to grow spiritually, we must devote ourselves to acquiring spiritual knowledge that we may apply. As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby (1 Peter 2:2).
Though spiritual knowledge alone does not assure spiritual growth, spiritual growth is impossible without first acquiring spiritual knowledge. That is, one must know what it means to be spiritual and act spiritually before it can become a basic component in life. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen (2 Peter 3:18). Spiritual growth requires deeper thinking into the character and nature of God (2 Peter 1:4). It includes learning to think in spiritual terms and with spiritual concerns (Romans 8:5; Philippians 4:8). It means reorganizing our lives to have spiritual priorities (Matthew 6:33). Thus, we must study the Bible in order to know these things and more. God has revealed himself to us through his Son (John 1:18) who is likewise revealed to us through the Gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). To know God and to know Jesus, one must know the Bible. If we desire intimate knowledge of the Almighty, we must understand intimately the divine revelation (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
Yet, we should never equate purely intellectual understanding with spiritual growth, because true spiritual growth does not occur until what we learn intellectually from Gods Word begins living within us. There is no spiritual growth without spiritual application (James 1:22). There is no spiritual growth without spiritual commitment (Romans 12:1). There is no spiritual life until we actively apply Christs way of life to our own (Galatians 2:20). We must study the Bible intensely so that we may thoroughly digest the things of Gods Word so that they live inside of us and grow instead of allowing them only to pass through our system for a short while. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly . . . (Colossians 3:16). Many people desire the comforts, joys and peace that come with spiritual growth but, at the same time, neglect Gods Word. The truth is, it is both the quantity and the quality of time we spend in Gods Word that makes these spiritual blessings a personal reality.

Juice The Way You Like It
If there's one thing that a lot of people have in common nowadays, it's the desire to become healthier, thinner, and of course, the ultimate #bodygoals – sexier! There's just one problem though: it's a tough call! With unhealthy food choices tempting us at every opportunity, plus the busy lifestyle that many of us lead, the desire to eat healthy is always put at the backburner. Does this mean then that we don't have options left? The answer is an absolute "No!"
When you visit restaurants and you see those tall bottles filled with colorful juices, grab them instead of going over the menu of fats and carbs. Those rainbow-colored beverages are pressed juices that create a wonderful effect in the body. By opting for these healthy juices in lieu of your regular food intake, you are already starting your juice cleansing journey that could give you tons of health benefits.
Lose Weight Beautifully
Juice cleansing allows your body to lose weight without looking like someone who has not eaten for days. This conditions your body to establish healthy habits. You are replacing all those awful refined carbs, processed foods, and a lot more with fruit and vegetable juices. This will lead you to lose weight naturally. The best part is that you would also have healthier skin, which gives you a nice lovely glow.
Renewed Energy Levels
Talk about revitalizing your body right at cellular level and juice cleanses will give it to you. Yes, this fills the body with a chockfull of nutrients, free from those toxic chemicals that the body receives from processed foods (think instant coffee and refined sugar). These nutrients get absorbed by the body naturally, revitalizing the innermost core. Try to have that fresh juice of fruits and vegetables and you will notice a difference in energy levels in a matter of 15 to 20 minutes from intake.
A Break for Your Digestive System
If you have ever felt bloated after eating a big serving of lasagna or three slices of pizza, then you may be overworking your digestive system on a daily basis. Just like any machine, it also needs some time to rest, repair, and recuperate. A juice cleanse can do wonders to help reset your entire digestive system. Since juice cleanses are nutrients in their most natural state, you would be putting less stress on your gut. Unknowingly, you are also ensuring that your digestive system remains healthy even as you age.
Removes Toxins More Efficiently
Toxins can cause a lot of negative effects on the body and one way that you can combat this is to go on a juice cleanse. Constant juice cleansing can lead to better hydration, which then helps in eliminating toxins from the body. Once you slowly reduce toxins, your cells would be able to benefit from the amazing nutrients that a glass of healthy fruit and veggie juice brings. The healing is not only within your cells, but it will radiate in your appearance.
Reduce Inflammation
Juice cleansing can help reduce inflammation in the body, just make sure that you do a follow-up with a diet that is mostly plant-based. If you have heard medical experts talk about chronic inflammation, you have to know that the cause of it is simply living an unhealthy lifestyle. You may have been eating meat, processed foods, and dairy every single day, all of which are contributory factors to inflammation. Through juice cleansing, you are pushing out bad toxins from the body, cleaning whatever remnants there are left, and simply replacing everything with better and healthier nutrients.
Indeed, if you feel that you are too busy to count all the carbs, to go to the gym, and to simply live a 'healthy lifestyle', start with juice cleanses. Instead of opting for soda at the restaurant, go for that bottle of colorful fruit juices. This will ensure that your body receives good nutrients at that exact moment when you were about to choose something of an unhealthy alternative. Keep at it and watch your body transform beautifully inside and out!

"Increase Website Traffic Using a Mobile Friendly Webpage" written by Bren Koger.
There are more than 3 billion mobile phones being used in the world today, and there will be 150 million websites on the internet by 2017 and with 31% of mobile Internet users mostly going online using cell phones (Pew 2012).
(On our own website Google Analytics support this date by showing 34% of the traffic to http://brenandmike.influxentrepreneur.info is from mobile devices, equally split between the iPhone and the Android)
It's clear that we are soon approaching the time when many people's only Internet experience will be through some type of mobile device. With this in mind, businesses need to adapt or commit business suicide.
The Reasons Why You Need a Mobile Friendly Webpage
People can get information and services on the go through their cell phones. The website that has not been designed to be easily accessible and easy to navigate on a mobile device may miss this opportunity to attract customers.
If the visitor doesn't like what they see in the first few seconds of arriving at a webpage, they will bounce… quickly leaving in search of a different webpage to visit.
This means making your site easy and fast to load with a small page size and not a lot of unnecessary bells and whistles. You also need something that looks visually appealing on that small display screen.
Mobile Friend Webpage Tips
The following are things to consider when developing a mobile friendly webpage.
- Be aware of the SiZE of text. Make sure the page can be easily read.
- Buttons that are large enough to be clickable. Make them fat finger friendly.
- Width of columns to avoid a lot of scrolling, pinching and pulling. People will just get tired of it.
- The webpage should look visually appealing when it's first loaded… first impressions are everything.
If That Wasn't Enough, More Reasons to Have a Mobile Friendly Webpage
- Smart phones have become affordable over the past few years. Almost everyone has one.
- The biggest draw on the internet today are social networking websites. Many people access these websites through their mobile devices. If they come across a link to your site, they would want to view it on their phones.
- In the future more people will be accessing the internet via a phone than a personal computer.
- People like to browse on their phone. Since the sales of smart phones is increasing, it only makes sense for companies to have a site that can be easily browsed through on these devices.
- According to studies, about 40% of the people who have a mobile phone use it for going online, and half of them will go online at least once every day.
- Having a mobile friendly website also helps in SEO (Search Engine Optimization) as it helps improve rankings on mobile friendly search engines such as Google or Yahoo.
- It reduces bounce rate. If a third or more of your visitors are using mobile devices to load your webpage and you give a poor first impression, they will be gone in seconds.
Look at this comparison between our website and another site:
The lead capture banners and forms are seen without having to scroll down on our webpage. Also the banner is eye catching (if I do say so myself) and grabs your attention right away… inviting the visitor to click it.
Wrap Up
There are now mobile-friendly themes for WordPress. The visitor experience on mobile devices is something to think about when you're looking to start or redesign your website.
The key is to make sure you take the time to check the above tips related to your website and mobile devices and make sure you have a mobile friendly webpage. The success of your business now and in the future depends on it.
