Microsoft Teams, the collaboration platform that competes with Slack, has been down since about 8:30 am ET. Microsoft reports the outage was due to an expired certificate.
Microsoft first posted on its Office 365 Status Twitter feed about 9:00 am ET that an outage was in progress, stating the company was looking into the problem.
We're investigating an issue where users may be unable to access Microsoft Teams. We're reviewing systems data to determine the cause of the issue. More information can be found in the Admin center under TM202916
— Microsoft 365 Status (@MSFT365Status) February 3, 2020
At approximately 10:00 am ET, the company posted the reason for the problem, an expired certificate, which frankly, has to be pretty embarrassing for the group responsible for keeping the Teams service running.
We've determined that an authentication certificate has expired causing, users to have issues using the service. We're developing a fix to apply a new certificate to the service which will remediate impact. Further updates can be found under TM202916 in the admin center.
— Microsoft 365 Status (@MSFT365Status) February 3, 2020
About an hour ago, the company updated the status again, indicating it had begun deploying the updated certificate.
We've initiated the deployment of the updated certificate and are monitoring service health as the fix progresses. Additional information can be found under TM202916 in the admin center.
— Microsoft 365 Status (@MSFT365Status) February 3, 2020
Some customers have begun reporting on Twitter that service has been restored.
Microsoft has kept the status updates pretty business like, but has not apologized to its 20 million users as of publication. The company is in the midst of a battle with Slack for hearts and minds in the enterprise collaboration space, and a preventable outage has to be awkward for them.
The company will no doubt do a post-mortem to figure out how this mistake happened and how to prevent this kind of issue from taking down the site again. While every service is going to experience an outage from time to time, it's up to the organization to understand why it happened and put systems in place to keep a preventable incident like this one from happening again in the future.

Brand video advertising software and audience data provider YuMe, has just rolled out a new mobile advertising format. With immersive mobile vertical video, brands and advertisers can easily customise their video ads to fit more naturally into the mobile experience. The video ads come in portrait mode to fit the full screen.
An unnamed North American furniture retailer is among the first to have tested the new feature with a campaign directed at a millennial audiences.
Indeed, there's been a steep increase in interest for vertical but also 360-degree video among advertisers and marketers. This likely points toward mobile users seeking more immersive experiences. Immersive video ads on mobile have been shown to drive ROI and engagement rates. Snapchat recently highlighted that vertical video adverts deliver up to nine times more completed views than horizontal ads.
YuMe's new mobile video ad format lends support for original content, and adapts existing landscape video creative to fit Android and iOS operating systems.
Tripp Boyle, VP of Emerging Platforms, YuMe, explains:
"Snapchat ignited the market for vertical video, and ever since we've seen a rapid and steady rise in adoption by leading apps and social platforms, primarily due to favorable consumer response to its more natural, immersive experience within mobile and app content. YuMe is proud of its continued leadership as one of the first to enable clients to leverage this innovation. It's all part of our audience-first strategy — helping marketers reach and influence consumers where they are, in the manner they prefer."
Among the main benefits of vertical video are the option to customise formats at zero additional creative costs.
The IAB-compliant MRAID standard ad format can be viewed on mobile apps via the YuMe SDK to improve reach and deliver campaigns at scale. In addition, cross-screen campaigns can be more easily integrated.

DEAR DOCTOR LETTERSthough it was approved in form and content by the FDA. Indeed, some ofthe ONJ warnings were made at the FDA's own request.158
Second, setting an exceedingly low evidentiary bar for non-label
arguments akin to Dear Doctor letter arguments, the court gave weight to
plaintiff's argument that "Novartis had a duty to reflect the known side
effects of its medication in articles and communications through sales
representatives, both of which could have reached [the oncologist] and
changed the course of events despite his not reading package inserts."159
The district court required no evidence to support that the oncologist "would
have" received a non-label warning or that this hypothetical warning
"would have" changed whether Ms. Baldwin was prescribed these drugs
and whether she would have had her tooth extractions. Had there not been
a Dear Doctor letter sent by Novartis, this court likely would have accepted
that a theoretical Dear Doctor letter "could have changed the course of
events" without any evidence that the oncologist made it a practice to
review these letters, or that such a letter would have made any difference in
his treatment decisions.
Putting aside its lenient causation standard on summary judgment, the
court in Winter provided a few useful lessons on Dear Doctor letters for
pharmaceutical manufacturers, such as a lesson on hard-copy versus
electronic mailers. The parties in Winter disputed whether the oncologist
had received the Dear Doctor letter.160 Proving the receipt of hard copy
Dear Doctor letters by a specific doctor may be difficult or impossible,
especially if the doctor's recollection is hazy. Thus, even if a
pharmaceutical manufacturer sends out a snail-mail mailer—following 21
C.F.R. 200.5 by providing a detailed warning of the precise risk at issue at
just the right time so as to be able to avoid a plaintiff's injuries—that still
may not be enough to prove that the warning was provided. Accordingly,
manufacturers should consider e-mailing Dear Doctor letters, with
electronic tracking to provide a definite answer as to who received the
information and when.
Another lesson highlighted in Winter is the importance of carefully
thinking through to whom Dear Doctor letters should be sent. Given that
the Dear Doctor letter at issue dealt specifically with ONJ in relation to
dental surgery, it likely should have been sent out to dentists and oral
surgeons. Because there was no dispute that these categories of health care
providers were not included in the recipient list, the district court left the
decision of whether Novartis had a duty to warn plaintiff's dentist about

The Other Side - Anchored In Him
A sick man turned to his doctor, as he was preparing to leave the examination room and said, "Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side."
Very quietly, the doctor said, "I don't know."
"You don't know? You, a Christian man, do not know what is on the other side?"
The doctor was holding the handle of the door; on the other side of which came a sound of scratching and whining, and as he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room and leaped on him with an eager show of gladness.
Turning to the patient, the doctor said, "Did you notice my dog? He's never been in this room before. He didn't know what was inside. He knew nothing except that his master was here, and when the door opened, he sprang in without fear. I know little of what is on the other side of death, but I do know one thing...I know my Master is there and that is enough."
Is your master Jesus Christ who is waiting for you?
The rewards for eternity will be well worth your
salvation. Eternity, the choice is yours . . .
Heaven or Hell ! ! ! ! !
If God is your Co-Pilot- - -Change seats
If you reject Jesus Christ as your personal savior you will spend eternity in hell, this is the only unforgivable sin ! ! !

The 100 Martial Dao Divine Thrones emerged in the Martial Dao Domain and emitted boundless golden lights.
This was the third test of the Allstar Meeting, a test of 3,600 people competing to obtain 100 places. Not only would those that succeed be able to enter the next round of the tests, they would even be able to obtain a Dao Grade martial technique from the divine throne, and it could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
On the other hand, those that failed only had a single outcome, to be eliminated!
At this moment, the originally silent square didn't go into an uproar as expected, and it strangely became even more quiet, unusually quiet, and not a single person made a rash move.
Because they knew that if they didn't possess sufficient strength, then not only would they be unable to occupy a divine throne from being the first to make a move, they would instead draw death onto themselves.
But this silence didn't continue for long.
After merely a short moment, under the focus of countless gazes, Qing Xiuyi who was at the extreme front suddenly made a move, and her clothes fluttered as she moved like a dreamlike wisp of smoke that instantly arrived at one of divine thrones that were the closest to the sacrificial altar before sitting down cross-legged on it.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
At practically the exact same instant, the Merak Pavilion's Zhao Qinghe, the Wise King's Estate's Huangfu Changtian, the Mistwater Pavilion's Zhen Liuqing, the Young Princess Huangfu Qingying, and the others moved out to respectively seize a divine throne that was closest to the sacrificial altar.
When they saw this scene, the eyes of many people became indeterminate, but in the end, no one dared to rashly say something. Because they knew that no matter if it was in terms of strength or the powers standing behind them, it was sufficient to support these people to sit where they sat without the slightest obstruction.
The reason was that these young experts were the publicly acknowledged top geniuses of the Darchu Dynasty's cultivation world, leading figures in the younger generation that were exceedingly dazzling. Under these circumstances, who would dare go against these people?
In only an instant, seven of the 100 divine thrones were already occupied.
Amongst them were another two people that Chen Xi didn't know, and they were extremely unfamiliar to him. One was a violet haired young man with a cold expression and a thin figure, and strands of lightning arcs appeared as his eyes opened and closed, whereas the other was a grinning young fatty with a bloated figure, and they kept an extremely low profile. But since they were able to be in the first batch that seized a divine throne and didn't encounter the covetous gazes of others, their strengths were surely extraordinary.
These two people were actually able to rival Huangfu Changtian and the others… There are really numerous experts in the world. Chen Xi sighed with emotion in his heart.
"Brother Chen, you arrived slightly late and perhaps you don't know those two people. They're called Yu Xuanchen and Ling Yu. Both of them possess extremely extraordinary strengths and are disciples that were personally taught by old freaks that live in seclusion from the world." The nearby Wang Daoxu explained. "Early on the first and second tests, the two of them had revealed abilities that surpassed the others, causing their strengths to have already obtained the acknowledgement of most people. Thus, they were able to safely seize a divine throne."
Chen Xi came to a sudden understanding. He'd once heard many people say before the Allstar Meeting began that because of the Dragon Transformation Pool, numerous old freaks that lived in seclusion from the world had sent out their disciples to participate in the Allstar Meeting this time.
Obviously, this Yu Xuanchen and Ling Yu were outstanding disciples taught by two old freaks.
"Let's go. Let's make a move together and seize this moment that everyone is still filled with worry. Otherwise, we'll probably fall into a great chaotic battle." Young Master Zhou spoke out abruptly.
Chen Xi raised his eyes and swept his gaze towards his surroundings. He saw that amongst the people by his side, besides Zhen Liuqing and Huangfu Qingying who'd made a move first, An Qianyu, Wang Daoxu, Hua Mobei, Wang Zhenfeng, and Young Master Zhou were already prepared to make a move.
Chen Xi turned around to look at Fan Yunlan by his side, and when she nodded to indicate she was prepared, he agreed right away. "Alright, let's make a move together!"
The situation at this moment was precisely as Young Master Zhou had said, most of the people were filled with worries and no one dared make a move first for a long time as they were deeply afraid of becoming a target of all that was surrounded and annihilated.
Moreover, if he relied on his strength and the strength of the others at this moment to move out jointly, there would probably be no one that dared obstruct them.
Coupled with Zhen Liuqing and Huangfu Qingying who had already openly indicated their support for him, Huangfu Chongming, Lin Moxuan, and the others would surely not dare obstruct them at a time like this.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Without anymore hesitation, Chen Xi and the others moved out, transforming into wisps of flowing lights that flashed towards the divine thrones around the sacrificial altar.
When they saw this, most people present had acted just as Chen Xi had expected, and they didn't obstruct Chen Xi's group due to their apprehension towards Chen Xi's group.
However, before Chen Xi could heave a sigh of relief, Fan Yunlan's enraged cry sounded out abruptly from behind him, causing his heart to jerk as he swiftly raised his head to look over. He saw Huangfu Chongming, Lin Moxuan, and Xiao Linger had torn through the sky and intended to stop and kill Fan Yunlan with all their might.
"You're courting death!" Chen Xi suddenly stopped moving in mid air before turning around to charge back towards Fan Yunlan's side, and his expression was already icy cold and indifferent to the extreme. At the critical moment, these fellows still didn't know what was good for them and suddenly interfered, and it had already completely enraged him.
"Dammit, these ignorant bastards!"
"Brother Chen, I'll come assist you!"
Young Master Zhou and the others noticed this scene and shouted out furiously in succession before they turned around with the intention of charging over, but they were stopped by Chen Xi.
"Everyone, go seize a divine throne first. Leave everything else to me! Believe in me!" Chen Xi's voice was resolute, and it emanated an indisputable feeling.
"Alright. You be careful. You must persist until the end of the competition!"
When they saw Chen Xi's attitude was so resolute, Young Master Zhou and the others revealed solemn expressions as they knew that they couldn't say anything further at this time, and they immediately turned around to charge towards a divine throne that was near the sacrificial altar.
After Huangfu Chongming, Lin Moxuan, and Xiao Linger successfully stopped Fan Yunlan, they didn't continue making a move against her, and they stood in midair as they sneered with their arms crossed before them.
When he saw this scene, Chen Xi instantly understood that these people were making a feint. They were going against Fan Yunlan on the surface, but it was actually for the sake of obstructing Chen Xi from seizing a divine throne!
It was extremely easy to understand why they did this. If they directly made a move against him, then they would completely offend Zhen Liuqing and Huangfu Qingying. But it was different if they made a move against Fan Yunlan because everyone was able to discern that Fan Yunlan wasn't acquainted with anyone here besides Chen Xi, and it was even to the extent that very few people even knew her identity. So they utterly didn't have to worry about offending anyone or facing any pressure from going against Fan Yunlan.
Moreover, through this action, they were also able to implicate Chen Xi.
"I'm sorry…" Fan Yunlan spoke in a low voice, and she had a slightly sorry expression.
"There's no need to say anything further. This enmity had to be dealt with sooner or later. Now that I speak of it, it was because of me that you were involved." Chen Xi patted Fan Yunlan on her shoulder as he consoled, and when he turned around to look at Huangfu Chongming and the others, his face was already covered in killing intent.
Suddenly, Huangfu Chongming started laughing loudly. "I never imagined that you, Chen Xi, are someone that's filled with affection. For the sake of a beauty, you're even willing to give up the Martial Dao Divine Throne."
Lin Moxuan and Xiao Linger laughed endlessly with ridicule as well.
Chen Xi clenched his hand and the pitch black and lusterless Talisman Armament flashed out into appearance.
A sword howl charged into the sky as an aura that was fierce and powerful like a spearhead exploded out with a bang!
"No matter who dares obstruct our footsteps today, I'll slaughter them all!" Chen Xi's piercingly cold voice was like a cold wind that swept through the square, and his voice emitted resolution and an undisguised domineering air as his imposing manner reached the clouds.
He understood that he'd offended many people indeed. Besides Huangfu Chongming, Lin Moxuan, and Xiao Linger, there was also Liu Fengchi, Man Hong, and the others, and all these people would surely not allow him to easily seize a Martial Dao Divine Throne.
Coupled with their actions of attacking Fan Yunlan, it had caused him to arouse killing intent in his heart, and he wasn't willing to continue keeping a low profile. Since a battle couldn't be avoided, then he would kill to his heart's content. What was there to be afraid of?
"This fellow…" As she looked at the figure that held the Talisman Armament in his hand and stood proudly in midair, Fan Yunlan's beautiful eyes went red and were covered in a layer of watery mist as her nose ached. Chen Xi being able to fight for her caused her to feel that her life wasn't lived in vain even if she died in the next moment.
"Ignorant fool!" Huangfu Chongming, Lin Moxuan, and Xiao Linger laughed coldly without end. As far as they were concerned, Chen Xi's actions were like the final roar emitted by a beast that had fallen into a hopeless situation, and it didn't have the slightest deterrent force.
"This person, Chen Xi, is really a loyal person, and such courage it truly difficult to come by."
"Unfortunately, his temper is too willful, and he intends to battle Huangfu Chongming and the others. It's the easiest for geniuses like this to die early. At this moment, without the protection of Zhen Liuqing and Huangfu Qingying, let me see how he winds up the matter today."
"This fellow is rather arrogant. Every single one of the people that were capable of arriving here are renowned experts, yet this fellow actually proclaimed war to all of his enemies. He's really overestimating his ability."
Right when Chen Xi's voice just resounded out, the surroundings of the square instantly exploded into an uproar as numerous gazes looked towards Chen Xi who was in midair. Some gazes contained admiration, some hostility, and some contained disdain, yet most people sighed and didn't look favorably upon him.
Even though everyone present had more or less heard of Chen Xi's reputation, yet the reputation of every single person present wasn't inferior to him.
Moreover, many people knew that Chen Xi's enemies weren't just Huangfu Chongming, Lin Moxuan, and Xiao Linger, and there were also Liu Fengchi, Man Hong, Pei Zhong, Xue Chen, and so on and so forth.
All of these people were Golden Core Realm Core Disciples from various renowned and great sects and were influential figures of the younger generation, and both their strengths and reputation were obvious.
On the other hand, besides the young woman by his side, Chen Xi didn't have any other assistance, so how would he go against his enemies?
Chen Xi stood in midair as his gaze that was fierce like a blade slowly swept past the crowd that was in an uproar, and he kept silent while his expression remained exactly the same.
Since he'd already decided to do battle, then he would absolutely not allow his will to fight be affected by some sounds of discussions and doubt!
"Everyone, since Chen Xi had proclaimed war against us, how can we not accept his challenge? The enmity between us has really come to the time that it ought to be resolved!"
Within the crowd, a sneer that was filled with resentment resounded out, and then the Whitecrane Sect's Xue Chen soared into the sky to arrive by Huangfu Chongming's side.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Another string of the sound of the sky being torn apart resounded out as Pei Zhong, Liu Fengchi, and Man Hong moved out successively to converge with Huangfu Chongming and the others.
In just an instant, seven people had formed an encirclement around Chen Xi and Fan Yunlan!Previous Chapter Next Chapter

For PUMA, Publicis Pixelpark has implemented the "fastest annual report in the world". At the technological and creative heart of the overall solution is a 9.58-second film, which allows the user to interactively navigate back and forth through the business report. Simultaneously, the exceptional athlete Usain Bolt is running his unbeaten world record in the 100m sprint from the year 2009.
Since November 2017, Publicis Pixelpark has been working with PUMA to help drive their corporate mission statement "Forever Faster". It includes the print edition of the annual report 2017, the invitation to the annual General Meeting and a microsite, which is also embedded in the movie "9.58 Seconds".
Ulf Santjer, Global Director of Corporate Communications at PUMA: "Our goal is to be the fastest sports brand in the world - and of course that should be reflected in our annual report. A very special PUMA moment of 2017 was the last race of Usain Bolt at the World Athletics Championships in London and the memory of his breathtaking world record run in 9.58 seconds at the 2009 World Cup in Berlin. This year's annual report and accompanying video is, therefore, a tribute to the fastest man in the world and his many achievements. "
The film "9.58 Seconds" is the central element of the overall implementation: The content of the current annual report was laid over Usain Bolt's World Record Run from 2009. The film consists of 240 individual frames, in which the 250 pages of the annual report are embedded. The user can interactively navigate back and forth, stop and read while Usain Bolt runs towards his victory. Certain markers make it possible to directly jump off the film into the relevant topics on the microsite. All the chapters of the annual report can be accessed on tiles with a mouse-over effect and be read there. The film was shown at the PUMA annual General Meeting on 12th April 2018 for the first time and was accompanied by social media activities.
"A brand that has speed in its genes like no other certainly needs a business report that passes everyone and that perfectly represents the leitmotif 'Forever Faster'. So this is another world record in PUMA´s very successful business year", says Timm Weber, Chief Creative Officer at Publicis Pixelpark.
The fastest man in the world, Usain Bolt, also graces the front page of the annual report´s print edition. It comes in a black and red look and is characterized by an open, spacious design. Grey pages separate the financial section visually from the image part. The chapter openers focus on the PUMA brand ambassadors such as Selena Gomez, Lewis Hamilton, Cara Delevingne or The Weeknd with large black and white photographs.
The 'fastest annual report in the world' is available at https://annual-report-2017.puma.com.

News Flash: France Does Something Right
Looks like French Thetans are reporting to their landing stations today, thanks to a ruling in France that's forcing the French branch of Scientology (preciously called, "Scientologie") to pay up to a million bucks in fines.
There were two separate charges of fraud and extortion, filed by two women. One forked over about $40,000 for… well, whatever stupid shit Scientology makes you fork over money for. But the second, I believe, cut to the heart of France's sense of entitlement:
The second woman said she was forced by the Scientologists to undergo embarrassing tests, and to enroll in courses about the sect in 1998. When she refused she was sacked.
That's right! Someone kicked a French person out of an organization. No matter that said organization was described as a cult by prosecutors and the judge said members are "plunged into a 'state of subjection.'" Or that she didn't even want to be there.
Don't kick out the French: You'll always get caught.

Perception of Attractiveness Under Uncertainty
Perception under uncertainty might be a tricky one. Let us assume that you saw both a blurry, and a non-blurry photo of someone.
Is s/he more or less attractive in the non-blurred/clear photo?
Should we expect any sex-differentiated perceptual bias under uncertainty?
To be able to answer questions as such, we plan to conduct multiple studies where we manipulate images and create uncertainty.

Advice to Guys Considering the Military: Barrack RatsPosted: February 20, 2014 Filed under: Alpha, Girl distractions, Military, Wisdom 9 Comments
when i arrived in charleston i ended up gaining a reputation for the attractive college girls i was bringing back to my room (don't trip, i had 3 over a 2 month period). i really wasn't into the girls in the barracks- BEQ (Bachelor Enlisted Quarters). i saw all the hooking up going on and frankly the girls were ok. wait- i should explain.
most women that come into the military are the hard 6's soft 7's of the town they lived in. many didn't really have much attention from guys in high school. if they were they were typically sluts. but that's another subject. but basically, most of them were the plain jane's of the city/town they came from.
then they join the military.
suddenly they have a LEGION of guys white-kniting them and telling them how "hot" they are. it's a recipe for complete princess basic training. matter of fact, i'd wager that most women that come into the military go from relatively humble and lacking in experience with guys to thinking they could model for victoria's secret within 3 months of joining the military.
and it's fucking sad.
well, i caught feelings for this indian chick and then got sent to cuba. she broke up with me a week before i came back to charleston (i took her virginity). turns out she got her first dose and caught cock fever. i was in a bit of a funk and one of the guys known for fucking many of the girls in BEQ made mention of me looking "like shit".
now, you guys need to know. i had a rep for banging some pretty serious women by that point. and the fact those women were NOT military was bragging rights. guys that are successful with women form an unofficial fraternity. well, dude mentioned to me fucking one of the girls in the "Q" to get over girl. i told him i wasn't into them. he laughed and said-
"DUDE, none of us are."
then he told me the secret. the only thing you need to say to get a woman into bed in the BEQ. "dude, you just talk to her for about 2-3 minutes, mention you have to go then tell her-'come stop by my room some time.' she shows up, she's down."
no. that can't be right. well there was one sunday i was chatting with this chick jessica. she mentioned going to the main base to go to the exchange and i mentioned i needed to go. she invited me to go with her. we got back to the BEQ and i asked her what she had planned for the rest of the day. she was doing laundry.
"oh, ok. well look; when you're done you should stop my room."
i was sitting in my quad with 4 of my quad-mates and what do you know- in walked jessica. the room went from rowdy male bonding tom-foolery to dead silence. i walked her to my room, shut the door and locked it.
i walked right up and started kissing her. she had a sucker in her mouth which i removed before i went in. we started tearing clothes off and she pushed me onto my bed and went after my pants. she took out a starburst and chewed a small piece. then she started blowing me.
this was my first time with something like this and it felt fantastic. she said later she did it because she like having the flavor involved. well i liked it because if made the sensation VERY slippery and it felt amazing. win sauce on both sides. i bricked in less than 2 minutes. i told her i was about to pop and she buried her head into my nether regions. then it was time for the big show. nothing exceptional- it lasted maybe 30 minutes or so. it was pretty "meh".
this was my first experience with a "barracks rat", and this little tale was the tamest. the more i did, the more raw and perverse it got. "i wonder if she'll let me…….OH FUCK SHE WILL. DAMN. SHE'S NASTY!!!!!"
but, then i was i was hooked. i became part of the 20% that was fucking 80% of the girls in the hospital and BEQ. once you bang more than 3 women in a small community, they talk about you. i know this because my girl katie told me. katie was a good friend. she wasn't a really an attractive woman, as she was a little over weight. BUT she was a very cool, nurturing, friendly woman.
she told me how the girls talked about us-
"he's can go forever."
"he's got a big dick."
"he's a total freak."
i asked her what they said about me and she said, "they say you're pretty adventurous and if you want him to do something to you, he probably will. OH, and you're fun in bed." i looked at her oddly and asked what that was about. she looked at me and said, "when you were with (don't remember her name) did you slap your own ass?" i thought for a second, i BARELY remembered the girl but finally said blankly, "i don't know, but probably."
she chuckled and said, "well she looked in the mirror and were slapping your own ass and making a funny face. she almost started laughing so she buried her head in the pillow. but she said she'd never forget it." well ok. i didn't tell her us guys in the little club discuss the girls.
"dude, she like to be choked."
"her favorite position is doggy and she likes her hair pulled hard."
"she'll probably ask you to spit in her mouth."
"you'll know she came 'cuz she starts giggling and laughing."
"make her pop via oral before you fuck. if you don't she probably won't cum."
"great tits. you almost get her off by licking and sucking on them.
yeah. but i didn't tell katie that. by the time i moved out the barracks i had a pretty high partner count. i was soon coupled up with a girlfriend and what i learned in the barracks didn't really apply. i had to learn not just how to fuck a girl, but how to KEEP a girl. a much harder skill to master. yeah, i know- story's been told a thousand times.
but i lived it. i think it's the crucible of all "players".
if you think the situation in the barracks has changed- it hasn't. it's worse. the BEQ is one big fuckfest. so guys, if you go into the military and you live in the barracks, keep this phrase in mind- "stop by my room sometime."
it's actually more of a risk now, so i'd highly recommend NO alcohol be involved. if she rejects the advances you can just back on, "oh, i though you were into me." but most girls aren't just coming to your room to play xbox. you're talking about people aged 18-22 that are probably off on their own for the first time and this is their "college rebellion" time.
it's a military dorm. sex is on everyone's mind. especially the girls.
ok, this post may be a bit harsh, so let's have a palate cleanser. here's a dog chasing something in his sleep. Brody's done this a few times and it always makes me giggle.
if you didn't get a good natured laugh out of that- you have no soul.
stay up.

How to terminate BancoCrypt ransomware
Is ransomware really that dangerous
BancoCrypt ransomware is a piece of malware that will lock your files, it's also known as ransomware. Ransomware for the most part uses spam emails and fake fake to invade, and it is very possible that this one uses the same ways. Ransomware is one of the most damaging malicious software you could get because it encodes data, and asks that you pay to get them back. If back up is something you regularly do, or if malevolent software analysts develop a free decryptor, file-recovery would not be difficult. But otherwise, there is little possibility you will recover your files. But what about paying the ransom, you might think, but we ought to alert you that it may not lead to file recovery. Hackers already encrypted your data, what is stopping them from becoming even more horrible by not decoding your data after you pay. It is your choice if you want to pay but giving them money when you aren't even sure you will get something out of it is somewhat risky, therefore you should erase BancoCrypt ransomware instead.
Download Removal Toolto remove BancoCrypt ransomware
* WiperSoft scanner, published on this site, is intended to be used only as a detection tool. More info on WiperSoft. To use the removal functionality, you will need to purchase the full version of WiperSoft. If you wish to uninstall WiperSoft, click here.
How does ransomware behave
Henceforth, you will have to be more careful about opening files attached to emails as that's how you must have obtained the infection. All damaging program developers have to do is add an infected file to an email and send it to innocent users. As soon as the file attached is opened, the file-encoding malicious software will download onto the system. If you are someone who opens all emails and attachments you receive, you might be risking your machine. Learn how to spot non-dangerous and harmful emails, look for grammar mistakes and Dear Sir or Mada, used instead of your name. A huge red flag is the sender urging you to open the file attached to the email. You will need to always guarantee the safety of the attachments before you open them if you want to dodge malware. Downloads from not reliable sources are also a great method to infect your device with ransomware. You ought to only download from credible web pages if you want to avoid ransomware.
The ransomware will use complicated encryption algorithms for file encryption so that you can no longer access them. All your vital files will be locked, such as images, videos and documents. The ransom note, which should appear after encoding, will explain what has happened and how the hackers feel you should advance. Criminals will insist that payment will be required in order to recover your data. However, you are doing business with hackers, best not forget that. Thus, paying can not be the best option. There aren't any promises that by paying you will receive the decoding tool. Don't be shocked if you pay and get nothing is sent to you, because really, what's stopping criminals from just taking your money. Had you had backup, you can just eliminate BancoCrypt ransomware and then recover the files. If you don't have backup, it would be wiser to purchase credible backup after you eliminate BancoCrypt ransomware.
How to eliminate BancoCrypt ransomware
We suggest you to download professional malware removal software and have it remove BancoCrypt ransomware for you. By hand BancoCrypt ransomware elimination is quite complicated so if you're an inexperienced user, you may you may cause further harm to your machine. Sadly, even if you remove BancoCrypt ransomware, that doesn't mean your files will be decrypted

Tips on Finding Your Yorkshire Terrier Breed
The Yorkie, nickname for the Yorkshire Terrier is fun to live with. Content to being stroked and petted, your Yorkshire Terrier will always be glad to sit on your lap whenever possible.
These dogs require minimal space and are ideal if you reside in small space such as an apartment. Yorkshire Terriers do get along well with small kids. They can also be possessive, meaning you should be cautious when introducing your Yorkie to your kid. Well trained Yorkies have no issues adjusting to family life. Moreover, they can live well with your cats.
If you have decided that you want a Yorkie, you should consider doing several things to ensure that you get the best puppy.
Be certain that you clearly know what you want before you begin looking for a breeder. There are some things you need to be sure of like if you want a male or female puppy. Do you want a dominant or a quiet puppy? Your resources as well as your lifestyle will play a major role in your choices.
If you want a Yorkie puppy, you should stay away from pet shop puppies. The puppies there tend to be bred in poor conditions and didn't have enough interaction with their siblings. You could end up with a sickly and poorly socialized Yorkie.
Choosing a Yorkie breeder is important even if you don't plan to show the puppy. A problem you could get is the puppy being inbred. The pet issues associated with an half-bred puppy or a badly bred puppy can give you family lots of heartache. Similar to any other big decision, research is one of the most important ways of ensuring that you are committing to the best breeder.
Does the breeder give vaccinations, a health certificate and any other paperwork? The health certificate in the most vital paperwork since it is only issued by a licensed veterinarian. To acquire the health certificate, the vet has to examine the puppy and in case something is seriously wrong with it, the vet will not issue the certificate. Be ready to pay more for the health certificate since most breeders charge extra for it.
Something else you need to consider is a health guarantee. You need it in case something happens a year down the line. Purchasing from the newspaper does not provide you this. Mostly, they only give you 48 hours and that is it. The standard guarantee you find online is a replacement guarantee of up to one year. However, even a year is not long enough for some genetic kind defects. Where possible, find someone who offers a guarantee that is longer than a year.
Yorkies are among the cutest dogs in the world. Have fun with your pet and ensure you spend plenty of time bonding with your Yorkies and you will be assured of enjoying many healthy years together.

The Best Part of Waking Up
The morning paper has textures no computer can give you
I go to the corner between 5:30 and 6:00 in the morning to get the Times. My parents were early birds, now I am. I could get it delivered to my door and it'd be there that early, but I like to go out for it. I like the atmosphere of the city not quite ready for you.
A few mornings, the paper's not there when I go. Trucks were delayed I guess. I get my coffee and go home. Those mornings I'll read it online. (I'm not a Times subscriber so I only get a few days I can do that.) It doesn't do it for me. It's a hurry-up experience. The format and the videos and photo galleries and the archives, it makes you read differently. I don't want to read differently.
I love a newspaper. I'm writing this near Boston where I am at a friend's for a week. His house is a block and a half from a place you can get Dunkin' Donuts coffee and the Times and the Boston Globe. You can't improve on that, and they haven't.

Emotions ran high during last night's doubleheader nightcap in Washington, D.C. Bryce Harper got hit in the knee by an Austin Brice 84-mph-curveball, and later, Jesus Reyes hit the first batter he faced in the majors, Spencer Kieboom. Pretty unlikely that either had any intent.
But in the eighth inning, Phillies reliever Ryan Madson hit Joey Votto squarely in the right knee with a 96 mph fastball – apparently a revival of the "eye for an eye†mindset of years past. Perhaps it would be more accurately called a "knee for a knee.â€Â
Nice throw bitch, you won't square up though 💪 pic.twitter.com/yWy7MnWVvy
 Joey Votto (@EvilJoeyVotto) August 5, 2018
Joey Votto was not happy about getting plunked…
….. and the Washington crowd was not happy that Joey wasn't happy 🤷â€Â♂ï¸Â#RedsCountry pic.twitter.com/vGdHs5wvZ3
 Todd (@bitterRedsfan) August 5, 2018
I can read Joey Votto's lips.
Joey Votto pulling his best Nate Diaz right now.
 Doug Gray (@dougdirt24) August 5, 2018
Votto was irate after being hit and spewed insults at Madson that can't be transcribed here in a family-oriented blog. It will be very interesting to see how much, if any, of the anger spills over into today's 1:35 p.m. Eastern time finale of the four-game series at Nationals Park. The Reds are hoping for a series split.
Starting Pitchers
|Luis Castillo
|Tanner Roark
July was the month when the light bulb apparently began to glow for Castillo. In five July starts, Castillo allowed only 7 earned runs in 28 innings, striking out 25, and walking only 4. Of particular note is he allowed only one home run in July after surrendering 18 in the first three months of the season.
After his most impressive start of the year, last week's seven shutout innings against the Phillies, published reports indicated that pitching coach Danny Darwin has been working on Castillo's arm angle during pitch delivery. What Reds management and fans are looking for from Castillo is consistency in the form of how he pitched in July. When that is realized, Castillo will be ready to take the step that all in Redleg Nation are hoping he takes, and that is into the role of "stopper†and "ace.â€Â
Like many pitchers, Roark runs hot and cold. He's coming off two very good starting performances, allowing just one earned run in 15 innings. That was preceded by three starts in which he allowed 17 earned runs in 16 innings. He's a lot like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get.
How about Reyes last night? Pretty impressive major league debut with two scoreless innings in a mop-up role. As a result of throwing two innings, he may or may not be available today. All others in the bullpen crew should be available if needed.
Starting Lineups
|SS Jose Peraza
|RF Adam Eaton
|LF Phillip Ervin
|LF Juan Soto
|2B Scooter Gennett
|3B Anthony Rendon
|3B Eugenio Suarez
|CF Bryce Harper
|RF Mason Williams
|2B Daniel Murphy
|C Tucker Barnhart
|1B Matt Adams
|1B Brandon Dixon
|C Matt Wieters
|P Luis Castillo
|P Tanner Roark
|CF Billy Hamilton
|SS Wilmer Difo
It was not clear at the time this post went live if Votto's absence from the lineup is in any way connected to the events that occurred late in Saturday night's game.
News and Notes
Very, very interesting read from yesterday's LA Times: "You hear a lot about major league prospects – but most will never be heard from again.â€Â
The story's focal point: "In his eight years as the Dodgers' general manager, (Ned) Colletti made 44 trades, sending 71 players out of town – not all of them minor leaguers, to be sure. But out of the dozens of minor leaguers Colletti traded, how many came back to burn the Dodgers? One.â€Â
That was Carlos Santana, traded to the Indians in 2008, and now with the Phillies.
Author Bill Shaikin maintains: "The goal should not be to hoard minor leaguers. The goal should be to identify the very best ones, then consider trading any of the others for players that could help the major league team.â€Â
In fairness, it should be pointed out that the article was written from the perspective of a perennially contending team, as opposed to one that is in a rebuilding cycle. The player acquisition strategies are obviously very different.
I highly recommend this read to anyone who spends time regularly here at Redleg Nation.

When a third party is concerned that a parent is unfit or unable to care for their child, that concerned party can file a Dependency Law action. Often, it is the Department of Child Safety (DCS) who steps in to investigate and intervene. If DCS finds cause, they may petition to remove the child or children from the custody of the parents temporarily or permanently.
During a temporary removal, DCS will hold a Team Decision Making Meeting, which is an opportunity for parents and DCS to discuss concerns, issues and potential services to help retain custody. Parents are entitled to retain and have an attorney present during this and any other meetings with DCS. At Valley of the Sun Law, we work with parents to understand the demands being made by DCS and what they need to do to comply with the Dependency Law expectations necessary to regain custody of their children.
- Abandonment
- Neglect
- Parents inability to parent
- Substance issues / Drug violations
A dependency and neglect (D&N) case is a civil action brought by a county department of heath and human services. D&N cases are complicated in nature. Many parties, including private and county attorneys, caseworkers, case coordinators, and court-appointed special advocates will have a role in investigating the allegations, while protecting the rights and best interests of the allegedly abused or neglected child(ren) and accused parent(s). The judge will provide options for helping the family members involved resolve their issues. In an emotionally-charged area of law, you need the assistance and resources of a distinguished family law firm.
Defining child abuse and/or neglect саn ѕееm complicated. Definitions аrе established аt thе Federal level, thе State level, аnd аlѕо thrоugh thе Court system. We are Dependency Law Experts.
Not sure if you have a case? Don't worry – call Valley of the Sun Law for a free consultation with a licensed attorney today.

Class of 2019 Smallest in Recent Times
Georgia Lyon
September 17, 2015
Whitman's class of 2019 is smaller than expected because the yield from the main applicant and waitlist pools was lower than anticipated. The group of 364 first-years and 17 transfers fell well short of both the goals and expectations of the Office of Admissions given past trends, resulting in more space in residence halls this year.

On Friday night, the kids were all amped up and super excited. We had 370 kids packed into the middle of the auditorium, and probably 200+ adults sitting in the chairs. It was barely controlled chaos.
Seth was in the last group of the night. Steve took these shots of him while I was down in the front doing the motions with the kids in case they forgot. It really was so much fun, but I didn't get a chance to focus on Seth while he was performing. I am so glad Steve got these pictures.
Seth was ALL IN during the performance and obviously, pretty happy about being on stage and singing "How Great Thou Art." Love it.
Seth was lucky to have his cousin Austin (on the left) in his group this year. They are usually separated by grades, but they grouped the kids by families this year.
Love this face...

This month we are highlighting the benefits of bridal showers. As more brides take on board the financial impact of bachelorette parties (hen-dos), bridal showers are on the rise. This is because bridal showers are an affordable alternative to often expensive – and sometimes elaborate – hen events.
The Hen-Do is usually thrown by the Maid of Honour, to help the bride forget about the stresses of planning the wedding. It can involve weekend trips abroad, spa breaks, themed parties and additional nights out. Just last month the national press highlighted the growing cost of hen-dos, with wedding guests spending more money on the seemingly never-ending hen party. Bridal showers are a tame and more intimate affair for close friends and family. They are accessible to the important people in your life; so you can share it with your Mum, Gran, Aunty, Niece, Godmother etc. What's more, with everyone together at the same time, it makes sense to hold a bachelorette party immediately after.
Affordable Bridal Shower Packages
Here at Lotus Event Management, we are bridal shower experts. Our affordable bridal shower packages, which start from just £495, are a popular choice among brides across the West Midlands. We have noticed a stark increase in interest in bridal showers. People who have experienced the pressure to attend expensive hen-do events have vowed not to heap the same level of expense on their wedding guests.
Janet Eboh-Sampson, CEO of Lotus Event Management, points out: The cost of a hen-do can quickly spiral out of control. Expecting your bridesmaids, for example, to spend time and money on trips abroad, nights out, attending dress fittings and rehearsals – not to mention the big day itself – is becoming too much. The cost, for one, can be overwhelming.
"That is why the bridal shower is coming into its own. This affordable option can be easily personalised, giving pre-nuptial events a more meaningful tone. Our clients choose them because they offer more flexibility in terms of location. For example, a bridal shower can be hosted in the home. It doesn't have to be a huge, expensive and elaborate affair."
View our Bridal Shower Packages (click here)
Bridal Shower Styling
Bridal showers are self-contained; they can take on many themes. A traditional dinner or tea party-styled event makes for the perfect celebration – especially if you are holding your bachelorette party later on the same day. Popular themes include the universally popular English garden party, vintage tea party, wellness or pamper-styled event and the all-white wedding theme.
A good event planner will help you style your bridal shower around your personal preferences, including your wardrobe. They will even offer fashion tips and decorate your venue to really accentuate your theme.
From balloons and flowers to cupcakes and table centrepieces, a professional bridal shower package will include all the finishing touches that make a bridal shower extra special. You won't have to worry about catering or styling the venue, because everything is done for you.

How to Plan a Bridal Shower
The great thing about bridal showers is that there are no hard and fast rules. You can hold your event up to six months in advance of your big day or a week or two before. It really is up to you. If family members are travelling great distances to attend your wedding, an event closer to the nuptials will save guests money and ensure more people attend.
Give your guests plenty of notice. Send out invitations at least a month in advance. Ensure you ask for RSVPs by a set date so you can firm up catering numbers. It is not off-limits to indicate on your invitation the type of gifts you are looking for. You may want to consider asking for kitchen items, for example.
Book Your Bridal Shower
Take the heat off your wedding plans with a personalised bridal shower party organised by Lotus Event Management. All our bridal shower packages include a personalised cake, venue styling, personal style consultancy and table decorations. Add-ons include catering, entertainment and more.
Reduce the pressure on yourself and your guests with a bachelorette event everyone can enjoy. Find out more here.

Mold Illness Recovery Coach
My Story: Overcoming Chronic Illness
I know what it's like to feel so sick it's hard to even think about working, cleaning your house or taking care of the kids.
After 25 years as a dental hygienist, I had to quit my job in 2012 when my body finally crashed. I'd been pushing through annoying symptoms, chronic aches and pains, hormonal imbalances, and emotional ups and downs.
I was always working on my health but didn't know that due to emotional stress, toxin exposure, and hidden food sensitivities, I was fighting a losing battle. I'd just turned 50 and was ready to enjoy a fun life with my husband now that all our 4 kids were off on their own and we had more freedom.
But one day I knew something was seriously wrong! My list of symptoms had grown so big, it felt like every system in my body was failing. I was so constipated, nauseous, bloated, pale with dark circles under my eyes, dizzy, extremely tired, anxious, and had body-wide pain.
I went to many conventional doctors trying to get answers. Most of them couldn't find anything wrong and just offered me anti-depressants and muscle relaxants. One doctor thought I had Crohn's disease but two other GI docs disagreed. Any medication I tried would make me sicker than before.
One day I decided that conventional medicine had nothing to offer me and so I made a vow to myself that I would find natural solutions to my health problems. By 2016, I was making good progress through major changes in my diet, learning how to meditate and manage my stress, getting out into nature and sunshine more often, and taking supplements based on findings on functional medicine lab tests.
Just when I thought I was out of the woods, I had a major set back. Toxic mold entered my world! We experienced a roof leak, and even though the repairs were made, the moisture that got into the walls and window trim was enough to allow mold to grow that we couldn't even see...All my severe symptoms returned with a vengeance and new ones emerged as well. I was so dizzy and had so much brain fog that I was afraid to even drive. I even became bedridden for a while.
I am incredibly grateful that through collaboration with amazing women who were also suffering from mold, doing tons of reading and research, getting functional medicine training, and learning from two of the top mold illness physicians in California, I was able to gradually take all the steps necessary to heal from this devastating condition.
What I've learned is that THERE IS A WAY OUT OF THE MAZE OF MOLD ILLNESS.
Getting well takes time, but there is a way to get HEALTHY and HAPPY again with a step-by-step plan based on proven methods that have helped many others like you.
What I Do:
My experience with the horrors of learning that my dream home had become dangerous to my health, of becoming debilitated by an invisible mold toxin that we couldn't even smell, and then finding my way out of the despair and back to health, is what inspired me to bring this knowledge and this hope to other women who haven't found their way out yet.
Now I'm a Functional Health Coach and Energy Medicine Practitioner. I help women suffering from mold illness to recover their health so that they can move past the trauma of mold and enjoy life again.
Through a comprehensive and clear, step by step program, I help you to prioritize the actions you need to take in order to create safe environments, to detoxify and repair your body, and to remove any emotional or energetic blocks that have prevented you from healing.
I feel so privileged to coach people who are dealing with mold illness. Either over the phone or the Internet, I really enjoy educating and empowering women who are motivated to invest in their health and take the bold steps to get out of mold and out of being a sick person.
Who I work with:
People who are struggling with their recovery from mold illness (and often a list of other health issues that can accompany it). They are smart and have done the research and are ready to take significant action to recover. They are determined to do whatever it takes to regain their health and to help their families as well. Many of them are sensitive and intuitive and prefer to work with practitioners who sympathize with their situation and have experienced first hand what they are going through.
However, despite their strong motivation to get well, they are feeling overwhelmed and are doubting their abilities to make the best decisions about how to get out of mold and how to get rid of the toxins that are destroying their bodies and their minds.
What we do together:
We work on a plan to get you and your family into environmentally safe conditions so that you have the best opportunity for true healing. We uncover and correct the imbalances in your body that have been created by mold toxins, as well as any other factors that have contributed to your health issues.
My job is to empower you with a clear roadmap that you can follow, one step at a time, that will get you to your goal of reclaiming your life and your joy.

6 Facts About Services Everyone Thinks Are True
Picking the Right Movers – Huge Benefits
When it comes to moving, you have to understand that it is really hard to do it alone, there will be a lot of things to be considered especially when it comes to carrying fragile items.
It has been a hard fact for years now that choosing the right moving company of your choice will be important because there are lot of moving companies out there that are just too reckless, they move your stuff like its garbage and the chances of fragile items breaking will be high.
That is why you have to choose wisely and pick the best moving company in your area because the safety of your items will be very important, right?
Where To Start with Homes and More
You will have to do a lot of research for this but it will all be worth it once you get the best moving company to assist you on the relocating process, researching using the world wide web will be a huge advantage as most of the valuable information will be posted there.
The Best Advice on Tips I've found
You need to understand that with the number of moving companies rising, it would also mean that the number of bad moving companies will also increase since not all moving companies will have the same package as well as employees, some will have pleasing personalities while other will have the total opposite and that means you have to pick well.
You will have to focus on looking for a moving company that will give you an affordable price for their package deal as well as a moving company that will be reliable to carry items that are expensive and fragile.
Make sure that the moving company you hire will have competent employees, employees that will carry out their task as if the items are their own.
The number of good moving companies have also increased and this has made choosing one hard as well.
A lot of people also choose to save money and decide to do the job on their own which is a totally wrong decision, a lot of issues will happen if you push through with that kind of decision making.
You will have a lot of problems if you push through with that kind of decision, you will spend more money buying new stuff that you destroyed while moving rather than to hire a professional moving company.
That is why you should pick the best moving company in your town.
Pick a moving company that will be reputable. If you want to break nothing when you move to a different home, make sure that you acknowledge the guide that is set for you above, you will not regret it, for sure.

Scripture Reading: 1 Corinthians 3
Matthew 4:17-20
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
Jesus' message the same as John the Baptist's. At hand—near, approaching. The person of Christ, He is the King. Fishers of men—raising them to a higher form of fishing! They left the tools of their old trade and followed Him.
1 Corinthians 3:4-9
For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.9 For we are laborers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
Dividing over personalities is what unbelievers do. Ministers—servants, those who brought the ministry of reconciliation. Paul established church; Apollos came in after Paul. Increase—to grow, by work of God's Spirit.
Psalm 127:1: Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
We labor with God. We are His instruments, and He is the one working, so that our part ends up being small. Everyone will be rewarded for what they did to grow the church. We are faulty judges and get partisan.
Vietnam body count—if you can't count what's important, you make what you can count to be important.
Luke 15:11-19
he said, A certain man had two sons:12And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that fall to me. And he divided unto them his living.13And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. 14And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.15And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.17And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!18I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,19And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
God gives people over to their desires, in hopes that they'll learn. Far country—far away from God. Famine—Just to make sure he feels maximum misery! Came—arrive, make an appearance, join with, show itself. He finally saw who he was.
Go to my father—the one he ran from is the one he runs to.
--The goodness of God leads us to repentance.
Luke 15:20-24
And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
Kissed him—the dirty one who was just eating with pigs! The father already knows what the confession is and cuts it off. Repentance and conversion—although all things were essentially the same, they were also all new!
Acts 9:1-6
And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
Jesus knew Saul before Saul knew Jesus! Pricks—the goad to prod the ox, if the oxen kick it, it only increases the pain. Although people are used in the process, God can accomplish salvation in many ways.

How This Influencer Helped Drake Snag A Number One Record
It all started with an Instagrammer dancing in the streets.
Shiggy a.k.a. @theshiggyshow is a comedian-creator famous for posting short video skits on his Instagram.
Two weeks ago he uploaded a video of himself dancing to Drake's song "In My Feelings" from the Canadian rapper's newly-released album Scorpion.
Haven't seen the video that kicked off the #shiggychallenge dance craze? Here it is below . . .
The challenge didn't really take off until New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. shared his own take on the dance . . .
. . . And then celebrities around the world started getting in on the action.
From superstar Will Smith in Budapest . . .
. . . to actress Shay Mitchell and influencer-producer King Bach in L.A.
@kingbach and I figured our first dance video went pretty well, so we stepped it up a notch (dancing next to a moving car) and hit the #InMyFeelings challenge...how did we do? PS. I'd be lying if I said footage of us practicing to a YouTube tutorial of the dance in his bathroom didn't exist... #theshiggychallenge
Enjy Kiwan found it a bit more, ahem, challenging.
So... this is take 34 Everything that can go wrong, did. Speakers, internet, kids fighting , car not working.. everything. I wanted to post this instead of the full dance for a few reasons. First, its funny and i seem like a crazy woman (which im not ) Second, because we were wayyyyy too sweaty by take 57 Third , this made me realize what i put my kids through when we take a picture or shoot a video and it made me feel so ashamed of myself.. nothing was worth that scream Im sorry boys. But they kept going because they're hoping @champagnepapi sees it.. thats what i promised them Make sure u see yousuf's reaction at the end #inmyfeelingschallenge gone wrong #inmyfeelings #explore @theshiggyshow #theshiggyshow
As you can see, it isn't as easy as it looks.
Some are better at it than others . . .
. . . But at the end of the day, as long as you had fun making your #shiggychallenge video that's all that matters.
According to High Snobiety Drake recently shared an Instagram story, crediting Shiggy with helping him score a number one record.
The two were out partying it up a few days ago when the rapper shared this exciting information with his audience.
"Oh my goodness. Man got me a number 1 record today. Oh my god!" Drake said, as he and Shiggy spent the night out on the town.
Have you made your own #inmyfeelings challenge video? Share a link to it in the comments below.
