On 16 August 1819, 60,000 peaceful pro-democracy protestors gathered in Manchester. They were charged by cavalry, leaving at least 15 dead. This event became known as the Peterloo Massacre.
200 years on, our experts will examine Peterloo's impact on the parliamentary reform movements; on the use of the military to maintain civil power; and ask what bearing the massacre had on the way we think today about the history of democracy. Footage from Mike Leigh's acclaimed Peterloo, and original testimonies, will provide context.
Speakers include Jacqueline Riding, historian for Mike Leigh's film Peterloo, and George Hay, records specialist at The National Archives.
Our café remains open to the public when there are evening events taking place, serving a range of speciality coffees and teas, cakes, pastries, snacks, sandwiches, beer and wine.

I really loved this book and here is my link to the review I did of Beckon. http://thelifeandtimesofwanda.blogspot.com/2012/04/beckon-by-tom-pawlik-review.html
I got my first contract in 2007 from Tyndale House as a result of winning the Operation 1st Novel contest put on by Jerry Jenkins' Christian Writer's Guild.
I love to write strange, speculative novels with a touch of creepiness and unusual plot twists. The trick is to be able to do this all within a Christian world view and have something of eternal value to offer the reader. I'm hoping Christian readers will enjoy it enough to come along for the ride.
I started getting serious about writing in 1993 and finished my first novel manuscript in 1997. I tried to get it published for several years through the normal routes but with no luck. I had just about given up when I discovered the Christian Writer's Guild in 2003, and learned about their contest. That entry came in 2nd place in 2004. While I didn't get a contract, I did sign up with a literary agent who helped me shop that book around to other publishers. Also during that time I started working on my second book called VANISH, which I entered in the 2006 contest and won. So it was about 14 years from when I started to seriously pursue getting published, which I hear is pretty typical.
I typically write late at night, after the kids are in bed. I try not to let my writing interfere with my being a father. So needless to say, I'm a bit of a night owl. But the key for me is to write a little each night. I try to shoot for 500-1000 words. That usually gives me 4 months to get a first draft completed.
I've been reading Into The Bermuda Triangle by Gian Quasar as research for a future book.

Hot tests of the propulsion system qualification module are continuing at NASA's White Sands facility. A test on 6 August simulated an 'abort-to-orbit' scenario that would occur if the Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage (ICPS) is unable to set the spacecraft on its path to the Moon.
Orion would separate from the ICPS rocket stage by firing the thrusters on ESA's module to move the spacecraft into a safe, temporary orbit. The crew and mission control would then evaluate whether to continue on a different course, or return to Earth. Under an alternate mission, Orion and its crew may still be able to accomplish some of the mission objectives even if the trajectory and the primary mission objective has changed.
During the test, engineers fired the Orion main engine on the European Service Module, in addition to all eight of its auxiliary engines simultaneously. Each of the reaction control thrusters were also periodically fired throughout the test to simulate attitude control and overall propulsion system capacity.
"This was our most demanding test for the pressurisation system, including our propellant tanks, valves and other components," said Josh Freeh, deputy manager, Orion's Service Module, at NASA's Glenn Research Center. "The combined international team has been working towards this test for many months."
"The tests at White Sands have been very helpful to better understand and operate our service module propulsion system," said Jim Withrow, project manager for the test article. "This firing was one of a series of tests performed to date and in the coming months to simulate contingency modes and other stressful flight conditions."

Pfeiffer receives 2018 ESA Graduate Student Policy Award
March 21, 2018
Vera Pfeiffer, a doctoral candidate in the Nelson Institute's Environment and Resources program, is among ten recipients awarded the Ecological Society of America (ESA) 2018 Katherine S. McCarter Graduate Student Policy Award (GSPA). She will travel to Washington D.C. for policy and experience training.
"Now more than ever, we need scientists who can meaningfully share their science with policymakers," said Rich Pouyat, president of ESA. "The Katherine S. McCarter policy award is an exciting opportunity for the next generation of ecologists to explore science policy in our Nation's capital. It gives them the opportunity to develop the skills that will make them effective communicators of the ecological and environmental sciences and in so doing help lawmakers to make informed, science-based decisions."
Offered annually, the GSPA award provides graduate students with the opportunity to travel to Washington, D.C. for hands-on policy experience including interacting with congressional decision-makers, federal agency officials, and others engaged in science and public policy. Recipients travel to D.C. in April to learn about the legislative process and federal science funding, to hear from ecologists working in federal agencies, and to meet with their Members of Congress on Capitol Hill. This Congressional Visits Day, organized and sponsored by ESA, offers GSPA recipients the chance to interact with policymakers and discuss the importance of federal funding for science, in particular the biological and ecological sciences.
Advised by Nelson Institute professor Janet Silbernagel, plants and pollinators hold a fascination for Pfeiffer and motivate her to study plant and pollinator diversity, pollinator foraging and plant-pollinator network structure, and resilience from a broader ecological network perspective. Pfeiffer has worked with Long-term Ecological Research scientists in the Oregon Cascades Mountains; landscape ecologists and geneticists at the University of Wisconsin – Madison; and math and physics faculty at the Evolution and Ecology program at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in Vienna, Austria. She recently returned from Europe, where she spent a year as a visiting ecology Ph.D. student at Mendel University through a U.S. student Fulbright research fellowship. While there, she conducted a project focused on ecological boundaries, specifically bumble bee foraging practices across agricultural-urban and agricultural-forest edge landscapes. Pfeiffer is now finishing her Ph.D. and working to communicate what she has learned about the influence of landscape on our native pollinators and plant-pollinator interactions and hoping to provide a stronger, more informed context for effective and productive policy development.
ESA's policy award was renamed this year in honor of Katherine McCarter, who served as executive director of the Society for 20 years until her retirement in January of 2018. Founded in 1915, ESA is the world's largest community of professional ecologists and a trusted source of ecological knowledge, committed to advancing the understanding of life on Earth. The 9,000 member Society publishes five journals and a membership bulletin and broadly shares ecological information through policy, media outreach, and education initiatives. The Society's Annual Meeting attracts 4,000 attendees and features the most recent advances in ecological science.

The upcoming Sony full frame cameras with E-mount lens support will go by the names of A7 and A7R, sources have revealed.
There has been a lot of chatter regarding the Sony NEX full frame cameras. Sources are claiming that the company will launch a couple of such devices soon. It appears that their time has arrived, as they are rumored to be unveiled by the end of this month.
Before their official announcement, people familiar with the matter have been able to snatch the name of the cameras, along with some specs, and further information about their designs.
Sony NEX-FF cameras to be called A7 and A7R, rumored to feature 24MP and 36MP sensors, respectively
It is rumored that they will be called Sony A7 and A7R. The former is the cheaper version and will feature a 24-megapixel sensor, while the latter is the more expensive model and will come packed with a 36-megapixel sensor.
The A7 will support a faster continuous speed with more frames per second than its 36MP counterpart, while its autofocus system will be "different" from the one on the A7R. The choice of words is not explained, therefore it could take a while to figure out what "different" means.
All Sony high-end cameras to bear "Alpha" branding, regardless of lens mount
The Japanese manufacturer considers them to be high-end models, therefore they will boast the "Alpha" brand. It appears that all Sony high-end shooters will go by the name of Alpha, regardless of their lens mount.
This means that the A7 and A7R might be the last "A" NEX cameras of this year, as the high-end lineup will be completed by these two additions.
Sony A7 and A7R to sport Olympus OM-D-like viewfinder
Sony has a clear plan regarding the design, as well. Both A7 and A7R are the same size as the RX1 full frame compact camera. Additionally, they will look like the NEX-7 and they will even borrow its grip and controls.
The surprising change comes from the viewfinder. They will both sport electronic models which will be placed in the middle, à la Olympus OM-D cameras.
Cheaper NEX-FF to be priced around Nikon D600 and Canon 6D level
The Sony A7R will cost around $3,000, which is nothing uncommon for a high-end device with a full frame sensor. On the other hand, the A7 will be priced at $2,000, in order to fall into the category of the Nikon D600 and Canon 6D.
The prices of the competitors have dropped in recent times and they are expected to drop once again, but this will not deter Sony. As the A7 and A7R are being prepared for their official launch, Amazon is selling the D600 for $1,896.95 and the EOS 6D for $1,895.

Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
Studies now confirm that coconut oil is one of the healthiest oils on earth! To discover why click here.
A fat that causes weight loss??
HealthSmart Nutrition's Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
All coconut oil is not created equal. There are several types of coconut oil available.
Coconut butter and coconut oil are one and the same thing.
The more northern countries tend to call the fats from coconut meat coconut butter because they are normally solid for most of the year. These fats are called coconut oil in the warmer countries (where they are produced) because they are always liquid. Unrefined, truly virgin coconut oil will melt at temperatures between 71 and 76 degrees F. There is some variation, depending on how the oil is made (especially how much heat is used during the oil making process).
Types of Coconut Oil
The most commonly available oil is RBD oil. Refined, Bleached & Deodorized. This oil is produced from copra (dried coconut meat). Due to the drying process (often air or sun drying) the resulting oil must be refined, bleached and deodorized in order to make it suitable for use. The final product is yellowish-white in colour with a thick texture and no taste or odour.
This was the oil which for many years was used in commercial baked goods and for popping corn. Although it has been exposed to bleach, solvents, high temperatures, etc. this oil is referred to as "natural" in the Western World, in essence meaning only that it has not been hydrogenated and melts at around 76 F.
Extra Virgin Coconut Oil - The only one to use to get the best benefits.

Independent schools up and down the country are leading the way in promoting sport, providing more than 5 ½ hours of sporting activity per week according to a survey carried out by the Youth Sport Trust.
On average, pupils attending private school will pay £286,000 through their education, but does the amount of money students pay lead to greater sporting success?
Lisa Ridley, Assistant Subject Leader of Physical Education at Hetton School in Sunderland said: "State schools need to learn from independent schools in providing more sporting opportunities and pushing sporting success.
"Professional coaches delivering one on one sessions to improve the quality of sports training would benefit students in state school but budgets are tighter than ever and sport is not always a priority, meaning all students don't have the same opportunities.
"As a school, we are pro-actively developing sporting academies to try and bridge the gap between opportunities that are available within the independent sector, with a view to make state school sport a more attractive provision."
Education watchdog OFSTED found that privately educated students are more likely to succeed in sport, with 4 in 10 of the British Athletes who won medals at London 2012 attending private schools.
Most recently the England national rugby squad included 54% of players who had attended private school, former captain Chris Robshaw being one, while the England cricket captain Joe Root attended Worskop Independent College.
Xavier Owen attended Berkhamsted Boarding School in Buckinghamshire and now studies Arabic with modern languages at Durham University: "Being educated at private school was a huge advantage for me.
"The opportunities for sport are very good, especially rugby, cricket and hockey as the facilities are of a high standard.
"We had two sessions of games per week which was compulsory and we had various matches on a Saturday competing against other private schools."
Football, judo and badminton had 0% of privately educated athletes competing at London 2012 compared to Equestrian which had 72%, rowing 54% and fencing 50%.
Despite dominating the medal tallies at the 2012 Olympics, Rio 2016 did prove successful for Britain with Jessica Ennis-Hill, Max Whitlock and Nicola Adams all claiming gold medals and having attended state school.
Emily Large is a professional swimmer from Newcastle, who currently attends King Priory state school in Tynemouth. Having been selected for the Commonwealth Games in Australia this month, she said: "Attending Kings Priory has been great, they have allowed me to have time out of school by competing in swimming competitions, while still focusing on my studies.
"In year 7 we had half an hour of swimming per week for two terms which was good.
"I really think state schools should offer a range of sports because pupils may find their niche which otherwise they might not have pursued.
"I don't think it matters whether you attend state or private school as to how you can succeed in sport.
"It depends on the individual and what opportunities they are given and how far they then want to succeed."
Overall, sport in the United Kingdom is still popular, with 60% of over 16-year-olds participating in sport per week, but there is still a clear divide in the opportunities between state and independent schools, something that may need to change if we are to find the next generation of successful British athletes.

Lost Glory : The Sun temple in Kashmir is in a dilapidated condition. But the wreck shows the engineering excellence achieved in ancient times.
Most return from Kashmir overwhelmed by the snow-capped mountain, lush green valleys, lakes and gardens. What's more, tourists also bring back the intricate work of the Kashmiri artisans on wood and shawl.
Few tourists who visit Kashmir stop to see the majestic ruins of the 1,000-year-old, westfacing Sun temple at Martand. On the way to Pahelgaon and just 10 km from the Anantanag town stands the ancient Martand temple that tells us about some of the forgotten pages of Kashmir's history.
The massive ruins of the temple, also known as Pandu Kuru, are an outstanding example of civil engineering and craftsmanship of the ancient times. Standing on a hilltop with debris all over the place, the temple gives an eerie feeling of the otherwise paradise on earth.
For several years, Kashmir was ruled by two Hindu dynasties Karkota and Gonanadya. An ancient book, recorded by a contemporary author named Kalhana in his book Rajtarangini, tells us that Lalitaditya Muktapida, the warrior emperor of Karkota dynasty of Kashmir who ruled from 693 AD to 729 AD over area spreading from Kashmir to Bengal to Karnataka and many parts of central Asia, supposedly built this temple.
But scholars differ. The legendary British archaeologist Alexander Cunningham said that the Sun temple of Martand was built by King Aryaraja of Gonandya dynasty while King Ratnaditya and his queen Amriraprabha later added the two annexure on the north and south of the main platform.
However, the most famous king of Karkota dynasty, Lalitaditya Muktapida, who is believed to have constructed the colonnade, renovated the temple. In spite of the debate, quite a few scholars opine that Lalitaditya Muktapida constructed this temple. Scholars say the name Martand came from Mach Bhavan, meaning the fish mansion, probably named after fishermen.
The temple is built with blocks of blue limestone held together by iron bolts. Each block is nearly 7 ft in length. It is interesting that this temple is West-facing which is in sharp contrast to the Sun temple of Konark, whose garva griha is East-facing for welcoming the rays of dawn. At Martand, it appears it is not the dawn but the twilight that is invoked.
Dedicated to the Sun God, the grand structure was originally known as Martandeveshwar Temple. However, since no stone or tablet is there to tell its history, it is difficult to ascertain the time and the founder of this marvellous piece of architecture.
Situated on the top of a plateau known as Martan Wadur, overlooking vast green field with the majestic snow-capped Himalayas in the background, the spot takes the breath away. The temple in early days was considered a 'Surya tirth' and a visit to this temple was must on the way to Amarnath.
The central edifice of the temple stands 63 ft above the surface and since the temple is roofless, it's actual height and pinnacle cannot be measured. Many believe the pyramid-shaped pinnacle was perhaps 73 ft from the ground and a group of pyramidal towers surrounded the temple.
The temple has 84 pillars, which is peculiar to a Sun temple. The number 84 is sacred for Hindus as signifies the seven days of a week, 12 months of a year and 24 hours of a day.
The design of this temple can be classified into three parts. The first part is the entrance through a flight of stairs, which is called aradha mandapa or half temple, and the next chamber, which is little bigger, is known as antarala or middle temple. The last part where once the deity was placed is called the garva griha or sanctum santorium. The temple has a reservoir that is connected by channels from all the four sides. The outer sidewall runs 220 ft while the inner is limited to 142 yards.
Images of Ganga and Yamuna are etched in the first chamber along with various Hindu motifs. Divine figures of flying Gandarvas are also found here. Inside the garva griha we find the three-headed statue of Vishu with eight hands. As Islamist invaders have defaced the figures, it is difficult to recognise them. One can however guess that one head is that of Narhasima while the other one is of Varaha. Some Hindu rulers like Kalasa (1063-89) also robbed the temple's wealth.
After being in oblivion and in a dilapidated state for many years, the ruins were rediscovered by the British in 1869. The place was mentioned by British archaeologist John Burke as one of India's lost gems in the ASI report, with the heading of 'Illustration of Ancient Buildings in Kashmir'.
Editor of the report, Henry Hardy Cole, described it as "the most impressive and grandest ruins in Kashmir". Since then, the temple has been drawing foreign and Indian travellers.

Great News: Arsenal Star Confirm He'll Remain At Arsenal For One Reason
Follow ooh to be a Gooner on Facebook and Twitter for more latest Arsenal news, match analysis, transfer news, injury news, team news and rumours from reliable sources around the World.
Rob Holding has revealed why he didn't leave Arsenal in January despite suffering lack of game time in the first half of the season.
Holding is set to feature in what might be our biggest game of the season when we take on chelsea in the FA cup final this weekend and the defender has revealed he wouldn't have been here if not Wenger's reluctance to let him leave.
The young defender joined Arsenal in the summer transfer window from Bolton and he was expected to go out on loan immediately but a combination of injuries and poor fitness to some of our key defenders ensured he stay for the opening part of the season.
However, he subsequently dropped out of the starting xi which frustrated him but Wenger wouldn't allow him go out on loan in January.
Holding told the London Evening Standard :
"I didn't leave in January as the boss wanted me around the team. He saw me playing.
"I just had to listen to him and keep working hard on the things he mentioned. That has spoken for itself over the last few games.
"I got a look in at the start of the season and then some cup games. After that it was just about being on the training pitch, putting the work in and getting another chance. Since I got the chance, I've managed to take it and the boss has shown some faith in me to keep me in the team."
Holding does look a promising player and one who would be a key asset in the future. Wenger's decision to keep him appears to be the right one as the defender has been useful since the switch to a 3-4-2-1 formation.Follow oohtobeagooner on Facebook and Twitter for more latest Arsenal transfer news, injury news, team news and rumours.

The above is one of the saddest statements made in the Christian church. It displays a lack of understanding about how God sees sin and worse, how God sees saints.
The picture to the right is an excellent depiction of the believer's relationship to sin. We cannot be in sin while at the same time being in Christ for Jesus is the bridge that takes us from death (sin) to life.
Do you know that God never calls a Christian a sinner? So what is the difference between being a sinner and being a Christian?
Below we review every occurrence of the word "sinner" in the King James Bible. The purpose is not to give a deep exposition of each text, but to simply see who God calls "sinners". In doing this, we will see how God contrasts sinners versus those who belong to Him. You will notice that you can only be one or the other, not both.
Lot could either dwell with God's chosen (Abraham) OR with the sinners (Sodom).
"Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom. But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly." Genesis 1:12-13One is in sin prior to the offering and hallowed afterwards.
"The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them broad plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel." Numbers 16:38Either one is a part of God's camp OR the camp of sinners.
"And Samuel said, When thou wast little in thine own sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed thee king over Israel? And the LORD sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed." I Samuel 15:17-18You are either delighting in God's law OR are in the way of a sinner.
"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night." Psalms 1:1-2One is either righteous OR a sinner.
"Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous." Psalms 1:5One is a sinner before salvation and changed from being a sinner afterwards
"Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner." Proverbs 11:31
"Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed." Proverbs 13:21
"For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous." Romans 5:19
"Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;" I Timothy 1:9-10
"And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; who WAS BEFORE a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting." I Timothy 1:12-16
In verse 12-13, Paul makes a clear distinction between his condition pre-salvation and afterwards be speaking of what he was "before". Paul doesn't continue in the ways of unrighteousness and neither is he glorying about such a sinful state. He is making a stark contrast between what he was before (a sinner) and what he is now (saved). Unless we can say that such things are behind us, we cannot inherit the Kingdom of God (I Corinthians 6:9-11).
One either has integrity and is redeemed with mercy by Christ OR one is a sinner.
"Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men: In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes. But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me." Psalms 26:9-11
Zion and her converts are redeemed, BUT the sinner is consumed.
"Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD." Psalms 104:35
"Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it." Isaiah 13:9
"Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness. And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed." Isaiah 1:27-18
Those called by God's name shall inherit the land, BUT the sinners will die.
"All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us. In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old: That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this." Amos 9:10-12
One is either upright OR a the sinner.
"Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way." Psalms 25:8
"Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner." Proverbs 13:6
"The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil; He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure." Isaiah 33:14-16
One is either a good man OR a sinner.
"A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just." Proverbs 13:22
"For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit." Ecclesiastes 2:26
"All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath." Ecclesiastes 9:2
He who pleases God escapes, BUT the sinner is taken.
"And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her." Ecclesiastes 7:26
Those who have wisdom vs. the sinner.
"Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long." Proverbs 23:17
"Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him" Ecclesiastes 8:12
"Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good." Ecclesiastes 9:18
"The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children." Matthew 11:19
"The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! But wisdom is justified of all her children." Luke 7:34-35
The son vs. the sinner.
"My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not." Proverbs 1:10
The end for God's children vs the end for sinners.
"There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed." Isaiah 65:20
Here God is using the concept of age to reference the end for humanity. Is it possible for a "child" to die at 100 years of age? No. By definition, such is not a child; the statement is an oxymoron. For His children, He dismantles the concept of age and makes it irrelevant.
When will death occur for God's children? When a "child" reaches 100 years. In other words, the end for God's people is everlasting life (which transcends age). Yet, the end for sinners is always damnation no matter how long they live.
Pre-salvation: a sinner. Post-salvation: forgiven.
"And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment; And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner." Luke 7:37-39
The woman with the alabaster box was a sinner. Yet, Jesus tells her "Thy sins are forgiven." Luke 7:48b
Pre-salvation: lost. Post-salvation: found.
"Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him. And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. And he spake this parable unto them, saying, What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth." Luke 15:1-7
One is either dead OR alive, lost OR found; one cannot be both.
It should be noted that Jesus builds on this analogy with the story of the prodigal son immediately after this. Again we see the contrast, "for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found." Luke 15:32
Either one worships and obeys God OR one is a sinner.
"Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth." John 9:31
"Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded." James 4:8
One is either a saint OR a sinner.
"And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him." Judah 1:14-15
We WERE sinners, but we are NOW justified.
"The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted." Luke 18:11-14
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him." Romans 5:8-9
"We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor." Galatians 2:15-18
One is either made whole OR still sick with sin. Either given mercy through repentance OR still a sinner.
"And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples. And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners? But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." Matthew 9:10-13
"And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him. When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." Mark 2:15-17
"But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners? And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." Luke 5:30
"And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." Luke 13:2-5
One either loves one's enemies and does good OR one is a sinner.
"For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil." Luke 6:32-35
One is either on the side of Jesus Christ OR on the side of sinners.
"Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners." Matthew 26:45
"And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners" Mark 14:41
"Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds." Hebrews 12:2-3
Pre-salvation: sinner. Post-salvation: saved.
"And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner. And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." Luke 19:7-10
"Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens." Hebrews 7:25-26
One is either doing the work of God OR one is a sinner.
"Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them." John 9:16
"Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner." John 9:24
"He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see." John 9:27
The Pharisees tried to label Jesus as a sinner, but their accusations could not deny that He did the works of God.
One is either working towards good OR evil.
"For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner? And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just." Romans 3:7-8
You are either converted from being a sinner OR you are still a sinner.
"Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee." Psalms 51:13
"Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins." James 5:20
You convert a sinner. Convert is the Greek word "epistrephō" which means: to turn, to cause to return, to bring back.
We have reviewed every Scripture with the word sinner/sinners in the KJV above. If God defines Christians as sinners - and we apply these texts about sinners to Christians - then Christians are damned and have no hope.
When people still claim to be sinners while also professing salvation, not only is this concept unbiblical, but they make the same mistake Peter made. They are calling that which God has cleaned & sanctified "unholy and unclean" (Acts 10:9-15). God does not clean us so that we can then go back to wallowing in the mire or returning to the vomit of sin.
It is clear when you review these verses that when God speaks of "sinners", He is not speaking of those who have been born again through faith in Jesus Christ. So, who is God speaking of in these texts and what does that say about Christians and sin?

Our floral design team specializes in dreaming up and executing exquisite, garden-inspired designs for everything from grand luxury weddings to intimate whimsical dinner parties! We make it a priority to use top quality flowers, including native plants, desert botanicals, and heirloom blooms grown straight from our own boutique flower farm and others we admire. It is our hope that the designs we create for you leave a wonderful and lasting impression. We do this by adding lots of textures, variety, gorgeous mounds of foliage, and unexpected elements like fruits and vegetables!
We began this beautiful journey in 2011 with some canning jars and a tiny piece of dirt in between pecan orchards. From this tiny parcel and with cuttings from the yards of friends and neighbors, Floriography began selling flower bouquets at small farmer's markets and through weekly seasonal subscriptions to businesses in El Paso, TX and Las Cruces, NM. Customers and subscribers loved Emily's (Floriography's founder) designs so much that wedding inquiries started rolling in. What started out as a dream to make local flowers accessible to our little community has since blossomed into a thriving event design business that reaches across state lines.
Floriography's designs and farm flowers have been internationally published in wedding and style blogs and in print via Martha Stewart Weddings and Rocky Mountain Bride. Our team travels across the country designing for high-end weddings and events. We are based in Albuquerque, New Mexico but seriously delight in travel!

Good Morning! If you want to say "It's Monday so what's good about it?" I'm totally with you. But hopefully some good music and a little treat will make your day seem more promising.
Years ago I used to blast BarlowGirl CDs in my car singing at the top of my lungs. Their CDs got me through some of the worst traffic! It was nice to see that they have a Christmas album out. I like the song's arrangement and the three voices go really well together.
Have a wonderful day, everyone!

Trustees Reports Highlight Challenges Facing Medicare and Social Security
The new reports released yesterday by the trustees for Social Security and Medicare warn that both programs face a growing gap between scheduled benefits and the dedicated revenue sources that finance them. If nothing is done to address the shortfalls in these programs, they will pose a grave threat to both the beneficiaries who depend on Social Security and Medicare and the other critical public investments that will increasingly have to compete with these programs for limited resources.
Unlike most programs in the federal budget, which are funded from the same pool of general revenues, Social Security and Medicare were designed with dedicated revenue sources intended to finance their benefits (primarily payroll taxes for Social Security and a combination of taxes, premiums, and fees for Medicare). But in 2017, Medicare required $307 billion in general revenue funding to meet its obligations, while Social Security required another $41 billion – a combined gap which equaled roughly two percent of gross domestic product.
In less than 20 years, that gap will double to more than four percent of GDP as the baby boomers move into retirement and the ratio of workers to beneficiaries falls. This growth places an enormous burden on the rest of the federal budget by increasing existing deficits and creating competition with all the other federal programs, from defense to education, that require general revenue funding. For comparison, discretionary spending – the part of the budget that includes all federal spending appropriated annually by Congress, including everything from the military to infrastructure funding – totaled just 6.3 percent of GDP in 2017 and is set to fall in future years.
Under current law, Social Security and Medicare are allowed to spend more than they collect in dedicated revenue, but only up to a point. In years when dedicated revenue exceeds spending, the Treasury Department credits one of four trust funds for the balance: the Old Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) and Disability Insurance (DI) trust funds for Social Security, and the Hospital Insurance (HI) and Supplemental Medical Insurance (SMI) trust funds for Medicare. In subsequent years when spending exceeds revenue, Social Security and Medicare can then use transfers from general revenue to draw upon these established surpluses and make up their annual shortfall.
Once the fund balances are exhausted, however, benefits are automatically reduced to what is payable with incoming revenue (except for SMI, which by design is partially funded with general revenues and can never be exhausted). The trustees projected the following trust fund exhaustions in their reports:
- HI will be exhausted in 2026, at which point benefits would be reduced by 9 percent;
- DI will be exhausted in 2032, at which point benefits would be reduced by 4 percent;
- OASI will be exhausted in 2034, at which point benefits would be reduced by 23 percent; and
- If OASI and DI were combined, they would be exhausted in 2034, at which point benefits would be reduced by 21 percent – a cut that would gradually increase to 26 percent as the gap between revenues and scheduled benefits continues to grow.
Waiting until the last minute to address these shortfalls would be catastrophic for a number of reasons. First, it creates the prospect of sudden and draconian benefit cuts for seniors and individuals with disabilities. Uncertainty about the future of Social Security and Medicare undermines the ability of all Americans to plan for their retirement accordingly and risks jeopardizing public support for the program. In fact, recent polls have found a majority of Americans both young and old already lack confidence in the ability of Social Security and Medicare to pay future benefits as scheduled. Restoring long-term solvency to these programs would help restore public confidence in them as well.
The alternative to sudden benefit cuts, that future workers will be asked to bear the entire cost of poor decisions made by previous generations, is hardly better. The Social Security trustees note in their report that if action were delayed until 2034, policymakers would need to immediately and permanently increase revenue by an amount equal to a one-third increase in the payroll tax rate to prevent sudden benefit cuts in Social Security alone. Combined with the even-larger tax increases necessary to fully fund Medicare, this would be an enormous tax burden to place entirely on the shoulders of tomorrow's workers. The longer policymakers wait to begin phasing in changes, the harder it will be to have older generations contribute to the solution and defray the burden.
Finally, the competition for limited resources created by growing general revenue subsidies threatens to crowd out other important progressive priorities. General revenue is already insufficient to cover current spending levels – a reality that pre-dated last year's tax legislation. Because the trust funds aren't invested as external savings, the government must borrow from private investors to repay the trust fund surpluses as they're drawn down (replacing this intragovernmental debt with more economically significant debt held by the public). This debt comes with added interest costs, further increasing the pressure on the federal budget.
In the coming years before trust fund exhaustion, funding that could be used for public investments in our future such as infrastructure, education, and scientific research will be increasingly consumed by growing subsidies for social insurance programs and interest costs. Even worse would be a scenario in which policymakers use the existence of the trust funds as an excuse to delay action on correcting the imbalances between dedicated revenues and spending, only to abandon the system and provide unlimited infusions of general revenues when the trust funds' exhaustion would otherwise force hard choices.
We can do better. Our elected officials should table costly policy proposals that threaten to make the problem worse and instead work towards phasing in pragmatic reforms to strengthen and secure the future of these important programs.

I have been UP, and I have been DOWN, and both planes of existence are exclusive neither in appearance nor functioning, but by experiencing.
There is one thing I will say experiencing these states, and their in-betweens. The DOWN occurs more often than the UP, and from within the Down planes of experience there exists a cornucopia of revelations making one appear wise while appearing to survive being viewed by superficial plane functioning.
To where I am going is as uncertain as my preparedness, since whence I came is fraught with adventures rife with drama. There were the emergence, a sibling followed by a separation, then divorce, which were but the tip of the iceberg; not dissimilar to many of you reading this journal.
Those earlier years were transient and any notion of stability not only did not exist, but also were the origins of my restlessness in later years. This trait kept me on the move, while happily exposing me to Nature as counter-balance. Amidst all the uncertainties of placement in home and family life, there was the addition of separation between age seven and eight.
By age eight, my younger sibling and I were relocated to live among strangers for a period of time, which amounted to four years. We lived in three residents with the guardian and a changing household in those four years to which a fourth was added by transiting to our paternal grandparents home. Our maternal relations were scattered here and abroad. Nothing was revealed in preparation for moving, but this lasted only one year and we were again relocated. This time a migration by air, an eight hour flight, reuniting with our matriarch to her matriarch's home.
This reunion was an interim position, and we were once again on the move. In the six years that followed we were to experience five residences, after departing our maternal grandmother's home. Thereafter, I relocated to a university out of town, which lasted one year due to inadequate counselling.
Returning from an unsuccessful year away, I entered a different residence. More transiency ensued, but due to early childhood exposures to unstable living this uncertainty was my normal in spite of how it might have appeared to onlookers. I was in that new residence for two years when conditions again changed and I was forced to relocate. There I was to begin the learning of the foundations to my early childhood conditions attributing to my restlessness, and other behaviours, misinterpreted by others according to their lifestyle biases. I unexpectedly resided there for ten years, the longest I had lived anywhere in my then thirty years of life.
Doing the Math: approximately ten locations in thirteen years in the country where I was born; and, in the country I now reside in, nine separate residences by the time I was thirty. The total being nineteen places-of-residence all told, with no one the wiser as Life had us all busy in survival mode while unaware of our similarities because of specifics.
Where the residences were concerned, I have slowed down with the motor still revving in other areas as I learn by and bye of other troublesome aspects.
Identifying a fear that's deep-rooted is an awakening, of sorts. Question is, what to do with the insight, and how to act moving forward?
I awake many mornings feeling anxious and afraid. I now know the origins, and I fight the related paralysis having gained these insights. Realizing there were early contributing factors, one being I was looked to as the remaining 'man in the house' after 'the other man' of the house departed. I was a two year old man in the making, with the unknowing of a two year old, unprepared to carry the pervasive sentiments and associated understandings of those in need for emotional outlets. I responded accordingly, absorbing what was expressed.
To contextualize this reference; a long time ago, in a place a few thousand miles south from where I'm writing, "Happily ever after" was not a mutually existing thought in the mindset of those involved in my conception. Is it ever in the minds of young adults, in spite of seeing it expressed in mediums? At least, not with the rudiments required resulting from adequate and sensible exposures. A family life of comfort and security, containing underlying tenuous sensations, were to reside after my emergence until there was the heralding in of my sibling, two-months shy of my two-years emergence celebration.
The underlying uncertainties became certainties a short while after my sibling's emergence. There was a separation, followed by a divorce of the two conception participants. These circumstances in which I resided were without fanfare and excitement, yet held kindly circumnavigations from which I was to learn things that complimented my adult years, plus and minus in my life-ledger.
What was to follow would make for quite the adventure tale, albeit with the same outcomes into which I had emerged in this world. Life had seen fit to pour out much in the department of accommodating the emotional needs of others, and I was only too willing to accept these outpourings. My beginnings prepared me to rise to the call of service, and it is in this serving that I was provided the means to varying levels of comfort upon surviving moving forward.
I arrived/emerged unknowingly into conditions for which I was unprepared, and circumstances/conditions that constantly reveal opportunities for amazing life adventures. Here, I am growing through yet another reorientation, as best that I'm able and willing to learn, surviving challenging obstacles.
Here I go/grow …

BEING EARNEST c.1973 2.
A pleasant conversation was shared during the ride to where I resided, dropped off with cordial, knowing parting pleasantries. We entered my basement abode with peaked anticipation and exhilaration; at least, that was our outward sense albeit tempered with a little something.
I dimmed the lights to enable our caressing, kissed and conversed in what felt an endless and most seductive flow. Then, there came this sudden burst of teary expression catching, once again, me off-guard. This, a few years after my initial exposure to restrictions in another long ago, cross-cultural liaison attempt. This time there wasn't a father voice whispering admonishing restrictions limiting our connection, as far as I knew. Yet, this was another conditioned to accent on this familiar causality. I was to learn another spin regarding my ethnic affliction, not benefitting my want to engage in this unsanctioned and socially oppressed relationship.
She revealed through her tearful words I was the first black male she felt drawn to have intimate relations, appealing enough to dare that social barrier crossing. However, she was not courageous enough to do it stone-cold, sober; hence, the joyous excessive drinking I witnessed. On the other hand, being aware of her inebriated state, I was unwilling to have this the condition our first intimate engagement.
Nonetheless, I had inadvertently sabotaged my 'sure thing' having her served too much coffee, which affected her blurred, socially constructed restrictive lines. Now, she no longer felt able to follow-through on our mutually wanton desires and tearfully apologized, and awaited my response.
Raised in a matriarchal setting, femininized at a tender age, I demonstrated more understanding and accommodation than she expected. Being raised by a single mother, with a younger sister; having grown-up a boarding/foster-home with a primarily female/sister-like household, it was second nature to accepted her sorrowful train in spite of my apparent coital losings. We shared engaging pleasantries, while I transitioned my longings into filial-like conversation awaiting the taxi-cab I called.
The night ended with a warmly, good-bye kiss and I watched her depart in the taxi-cab, never to be seen again.
She might have snuck back into the club with me unaware, and unseen; but, as far as memory serves, we never again set eyes on or engaged one another directly. I moved on, as was my way of engaging other opportunities that were to teach me more of what this society was about.
Life, in all its vicissitudes that I could recognize, and with all of its kindly issues by which I was to grow, and am growing.
HANS ~ from ~ HAMBURG
BEING EARNEST c. 1973 ~ 1.
She walked into the bar room commanding attention by her natural beauty to which I was innately susceptible. Ashen blonde hair played upon her shoulders as a result of her stride, promoted a sway through her hips, accented by pouting lips beneath sparkling grey-blue eyes.
I was on duty, the lone doorman in a lively, friendly establishment where food and drink were accompanied by the 'Octoberfest Express' band with whom I occasionally sang a few tunes to the delight of its patrons.
On this night, I took it upon myself to present positive image with the benefit of my residency, expressing particular interest accorded her effect on me. This appeared to bear fruit with her drawing closer to me throughout the evening. She became expressive in her regard for me showing joyful exuberance among her accompanying friends.
My desire grew the more, as the evening drew to a close. It became apparent, she favoured sharing the night together. Our mutual interest increased, instead of waning. I felt the moments slowed towards the end of the evening, yet filled with music all its own as I completed my nightly duties, securing the premises before closing. While in the performance of my duties, I requested a server provide coffee while she waited with a mutual anticipation of our passionate intentions.
As the doors closed, farewells were shared between staff; band-members, owners and servers, while I regarded my lovely lady-in-waiting. Not too long after, we stepped out into the night air and was provided a ride home by a staff member who witnessed our enamoured glow throughout the evening.
In the Toronto Star, 11th or 12th of October, I happened upon a few local stories tucked in the midsection of the latter part of a latter-section of the papers after the knee-jerk intentional headlines. I copied them onto my Blackberry for later use to text to friends. I habit I got into doing, when one of these friends said an email would suffice as he prefers brief notices. Thinking FaceBook, as well, I decided to put them on my blog-site whereby they would not be inconvenienced.
So, here we are. I would like you to ask yourself a few questions about the Life you are living, in the manner you are living It which only you have most intimate knowledge. Even your 'private' thoughts, ones you never shared for whatever your reasoning. Ask yourself when/how I present you these 'local' items:
– 50yr old TTC worker pinned by a rail workcar dies: who was he really; family man, parent/sibling/relative, friend, lover, how was he regarded in spite of the particulars leading to his demise?
16yr old killed in a school parking lot: who was he; who were his parents/siblings/relatives, friends and other associates, and how was he regarded in spite of being so violently diminished?
15yr stabbed and 4 are arrested in connection: who was s/he; who were the parents/siblings/relatives, friends and other associates, and how was the care and regard in spite of the motivations for the 4 to do such damage?
30yr old man's death on Thanksgiving ruled suspicious55yr old Olympic boxer Shawn O'Sullivan found after reported missing that Monday: I recall when he was in the news daily for quite some time, as was the likes George Chuvalo and Sweet Daddy Siki; but, who remembers him now save his family/sibling/relatives, friends and associates, and the medical professionals somewhat caring for him regarding his former glory when today's glorified are out there to feast upon?
Ask yourself, is this what Life is about, the reason for the great chase ongoing which fosters the population growth rate to overcrowding; the rat-race for the elusive fortune and fame, that once acquired, depending on how acquired will determine how it will be spend should you survive? I look at all my worldly goods and feel the weight of them, the gravity of them that I am determined to escape! There are, of course, other restrictions to that elusive freedom many feel inclined to claim worth fighting and dying for; and, with all the philosophies, secular to spiritual, we are no nearer to becoming Human Beings!
Ask yourself, how is that? What roles do we each play, are meant to play or choose to play while among the living? Ask yourself, while you traverse through your days?
HUMAN LIFE CYCLE in this TIME/SPACE CONTINUUM
Upon entry we begin our lessons in learning all that our body/mind/spirit consciousness can acquire/use/share engaged in tasks of our choosing, so to speak.
After a Time in this Space Continuum, some of us are given the opportunity to un-learn what we have acquired/used/shared, at times graciously or ungraciously according to the level/quality of living experienced.
Although, some of us are ushered out of this Time/Space Continuum System earlier than expected, to the shock/sadness/surprise to those gifted with varying stays of longevity, the processing experiences accorded to those in the long-lasting collective are seldom recorded/accorded the learning opportunities by those incoming or still processing through.
What appears recognized is but a superficial acknowledgement of their forebears ending. Only the beginnings of expectant departures, and beneficial heritage leftovers, are desired by those transitioning along what they dread as their own inimitable way, following behind those that have gone before.
What do your lessons reveal, as you tread along your path?
"Resistance is futile", is a phrase that dogged my mind while abiding anxiety fearing the restoration of my condo comforts rife with random setbacks experienced over a period of 13yrs. The latter 5yrs were excruciatingly painful made the more difficult being punctuated by prefect storm misadventures.
One a hypertension episode development resulting in my collapse aided by other Life issues, social and occupation contributions inclusively. Later, came medications with intrinsic side-effects which cultivated insomnia that compromised judgments, giving way to a timeshare purchase and auto accident. These and others will require longterm effort at recovering.
It's been a year since these perfect storm events and, as each week presses on, my mornings are interspersed with anxious wakings bringing challenges to each day's activities.
Still, I sally forth with comprehensive observations of goings on in local to international affairs. You see, I am of the understanding that my goings on is but a microcosm of the macrocosm in spite of particular hardships I endure.
Things can get worse, therefore I make no bones about what concerns me that which I would not trade with another because my skillset are particularly designed for my peculiar Path. A path especial to my past; no one else's, or so it appears.
Here we go/grow; 'be seeing you' …
Have you ever experienced, as I have, being used in frenemies agendas and/or in data collection for professionals' theoretical processes? You know, having experiences that turn up as statistics in a 'study' that you had no idea you were a probable participant?
Similarly, being asked a favour by many you considered friends only to discover you were a means to an end on which you were neither consulted nor rewarded according to the part you played in the game-plan you uncovered? If you inquire as to their motive you are fed the cursory line, "That's the way business, the way things are/work"?
Disclosure is far from being a courtesy, much less customary; reimbursement through litigation is a price waived by removing oneself from their company, moving on with one's Life and salvaging what remains for our own uses. I don't know if you can imagine my dismay, in spite of knowing about it, upon overhearing a casual input, "It's better to as for forgiveness than for permission"?
So much for enlightened encounters, save our own accountability and comprehension of complicity while moving on from experiences. Unfortunately, not many of us learn only to repeat the scenario which can be quite costly by the domino effect caused in our ignorance/naivety.
On what part of the Spectrum are you, and where do we go from here?
CROSS-CULTURAL DATING c. 1968
My first 'official' cross-cultural dating experience began in high school, albeit movie influenced, unbeknownst to her and I at the time. We were both on the cusp on adulthood when we met, appearing in a Christmas event where we exchanged feelings in greeting.
We became an item, and that became an edifying experience in my growing awareness of our ethnic difference and its impact. Our passion for one another grew. I was in a state of euphoria, influenced by being raised on movie scripts, not actual role-models, believing what we felt was a true romance, albeit my first while getting situated in this new country .
It was during one evening of passionate embraces my bliss was interrupted when she began crying. She then revealed to me that, although we could continue our experience it was not to get serious. Her father's advice.
I did not fully grasp what was being intimated and, on further consideration during introspection without adequate counsel, I felt blindsided and hurt.
I was being told what I felt had no prospect for a future, a strange insertion into my consciousness. We moved forward, our passion grew into coitus with a little voice whispering inside my head, "This is not serious", doubting yet blind that she might be unaware of the impact of her father's advice.
Without discussion, I was unable to gage how she really felt but my mind had already been altered, not to mention all the other distracting input of ethnic Life issues/influences impacting me being a newcomer to this country.
Needless to say, in Time these stifled feelings grew into a restlessness; and, feeling despondent I ended our romance in my confused state.
Family economic issues led the way into a much needed distraction, as I was called to augment my single mother's income in raising two teenagers and struggling to make ends meet. I substituted romance for employment, which overshadowed and dulled the pain, distancing what once was but emerging now and again to be a sad remembrance.

Goethe on the Psychology of Color and Emotion. Color is an essential part of how we experience the world, both biologically and culturally.
One of the earliest formal explorations of color theory came from an unlikely source — the German poet, artist, and politician Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, who in 1810 published Theory of Colors (public library; public domain), his treatise on the nature, function, and psychology of colors. Though the work was dismissed by a large portion of the scientific community, it remained of intense interest to a cohort of prominent philosophers and physicists, including Arthur Schopenhauer, Kurt Gödel, and Ludwig Wittgenstein. One of Goethe's most radical points was a refutation of Newton's ideas about the color spectrum, suggesting instead that darkness is an active ingredient rather than the mere passive absence of light. YELLOWThis is the color nearest the light. It appears on the slightest mitigation of light, whether by semi-transparent mediums or faint reflection from white surfaces.
Street Photography Composition Lesson #12: Color Theory. Eric Kim, Downtown LA 2012.
For today's compositional lesson– I want to talk about color theory— and how you can better utilize colors when it comes to your street photography. Personally around 2 years ago, I made the switch from shooting fully black and white — to just shooting color film (Kodak Portra 400). Since then, I have learned to see the world in a totally different way. It has been fun, refreshing, and quite exciting. Moses Harris's 1766 chart, one of 100 diagrams...

I have been doing quite a bit of research into Henri Cartier-Bresson, the godfather of street photography. Although my current approach in street photography is more like Bruce Gilden and less of Henri Cartier-Bresson, HCB influenced much of my earlier work and I still deeply respect his photography and philosophies. I hope you are able to enjoy these things I believe you can learn from Henri Cartier-Bresson about street photography. Keep reading to become inspired and learn more. 1. If you look at the work of Henri Cartier-Bresson, he applied geometry to his images poetically. Don't only see the world as it is, look for shapes and geometry that occur naturally as well. 2. When Henri Cartier-Bresson would talk about "The Decisive Moment" he said sometimes it would be spontaneous but others times he had to be patient and wait for it.

Photography: is it art? For 180-years, people have been asking the question: is photography art?
At an early meeting of the Photographic Society of London, established in 1853, one of the members complained that the new technique was "too literal to compete with works of art" because it was unable to "elevate the imagination". This conception of photography as a mechanical recording medium never fully died away. Even by the 1960s and 70s, art photography – the idea that photographs could capture more than just surface appearances – was, in the words of the photographer Jeff Wall, a "photo ghetto" of niche galleries, aficionados and publications.
6 Ways to Use Color for Eye Catching Compositions. A painter only needs to look at their palette before applying color to the canvas.
Photographers have a different challenge, as they must locate their tones by studying a scene. Pinterest. Henri Cartier-Bresson. 10 Top Photography Composition Rules. There are no fixed rules in photography, but there are guidelines which can often help you to enhance the impact of your photos.
It may sound clichéd, but the only rule in photography is that there are no rules. However, there are are number of established composition guidelines which can be applied in almost any situation, to enhance the impact of a scene. These guidelines will help you take more compelling photographs, lending them a natural balance, drawing attention to the important parts of the scene, or leading the viewer's eye through the image. Once you are familiar with these composition tips, you'll be surprised at just how universal most of them are. You'll spot them everywhere, and you'll find it easy to see why some photos "work" while others feel like simple snapshots.
Rule of Thirds Imagine that your image is divided into 9 equal segments by 2 vertical and 2 horizontal lines. Doing so will add balance and interest to your photo. Balancing Elements Leading Lines. Composition. The Skill of Composition.

The first "Husum Wind Energy Days" took place in a livestock auction hall in 1989, back when hardly anyone anywhere in the world was taking wind energy seriously as an economic factor.
It soon became obvious that this town on the windy North Sea had the potential to become a leading exhibition centre, and not just for the wind industry. A new exhibition hall was completed in 1997, and its infrastructure was constantly improved over the following years.

The track contains a sample from Diana Ross & the Supremes' 1969 song "Someday We'll Be Together", and is built on a heavy metal guitar distortion heard throughout the song.The combination of heavy hip hop beats with an electric guitar and a trip hop sound was a relative departure in sound for Jackson, and an extension of styles she developed on her previous album."If" is the second single from Janet Jackson's 1993 album, Janet.
The song was also controversial and very notable for its sexual content, which previously had not been explored in Jackson's music and was still viewed as somewhat of a taboo subject for female musicians at the time before it became more prevalent in pop culture.
While previous songs such as "Let's Wait Awhile" and "Funny How Time Flies (When You're Having Fun)" preached abstinence and only flirted with the idea of sexual intimacy, "If" was a shocking contrast, with the lyrical theme of lust and fantasizing about an object of affection.
Listen beyond Janet's own voice to the multiple drones behind her: This is a truly focused pursuit", concluding her delivery in "If" to "work against the normal attributes of her voice, which is usually a soft coo (cf. Jackson sings at a break-neck speed, practically rapping about the salacious pleasures of her lover – this is one of Jackson's most explicit songs (at the time)." Additionally, an alternate review gave the song similar commendation, exclaiming "If" has "a lot of styles on display", which included "distorted synth meets acoustic guitar." Rolling Stone qualified "If" as simultaneously being both "subtle and bold", with Popservations giving a similar anecdote – "Jam and Lewis gave Janet's bedroom fantasies a fierce dressing-up — tough jeep beats, hard-rock guitar, and a Diana Ross & The Supremes sample — and some missed just what she was on about." Yahoo!
Music considered "If" to be a "fast and frenzied dance tune" beginning with "unmistakable background chords which anchor the song down and dirty all the way through to the end." A similar critique from Pop!
For me, sex has become a celebration, a joyful part of the creative process." Jackson is intrigued with the process – writing, dancing, developing concepts. "Every aspect of my recording or performance is vital," she states adamantly.
"Nothing happens without my approval." Speaking about the sexually-suggestive song and its choreographed routine, Jackson also said "It just comes to me", insisting her vocal phrasings "are not anything that I try to do purposely", adding "The one person that kept running through my head while I was writing these songs was my mother.
What body part is she referring to when she sings about a man's "smooth and shiny"?
Could Janet be talking about the lips, chest, or a man's procreation stick?
Listening to it and reading the lyrics Jackson wrote in a Virgin Records conference room, I blush - in itself a rare occurrence. Semon of the Telegram & Gazette commented: "One of the most exciting tracks on "janet." is the naughty seducer, 'If'." Jackson is consumed with sexual fantasies of a man who doesn't even know she exists.

An elderly couple took the same photo every season.
But nothing could prepare the husband for the last one.
The saying " a picture is worth a thousand words" for a reason. Explaining how we feel is one way of getting a message across. Another is simply showing each other how we feel. During each season, this couple took a photo together in front of their house. In the resulting series of images below, without saying anything at all, a love story is being told. It's full of hope, joy, fear, and loss; but it's told in the most unique way. You'll see what we mean - and then you'll be moved by it.
Nothing has to be said for us to know what that man is probably feeling in the last photograph. It's thousand words spoken indeed.
Share this moving wordless story with others.
Footnote: The Sunday Times Magazine of United Kingdom
published these pictures in 1973.
It was reported that a photographer
named Ken Griffiths took the pictures.
