Identity, Language, and Human Sexuality – Part OneJuly 10, 2019 7:24 pm
I flew into London last Saturday for a week of ministry and drove right into the largest Gay Pride Parade in history (or so the organizers claimed). Traffic was snarled, cab drivers riled, business owners thankful, and the Pride participants thrilled.
Some 1.5 million people gathered from around the world for the event, and thirty-five thousand people marched. Number Ten Downing Street was festooned with a rainbow arc, and virtually every business and all government buildings in sight displayed signs and flags supporting the marchers and 'Pride'. The rainbow was ubiquitous. The newspapers carried glowing stories of the events with large numbers of photos from the march. Central London was charged with a carnival-like atmosphere and everywhere one looked, people cheered the triumph of Gay Pride, the rainbow flag fluttering in the breeze atop many central London buildings. RAF pilots flew their fighters over London to form a massive rainbow jet stream across the sky.
The victory of the Gay Pride movement in our culture was never more visible; the challenge Christians have to speak of and to this issue was also never more clearly seen.
Strangely, I was arriving in London fresh from debates about this issue and related matters at the PCA General Assembly in Dallas. Since then, there has been a lot of conversation online and off among Pastors and Ministry Leaders about the issue of sexual identity.
That's especially true about the kind of language it's appropriate to use when describing followers of Jesus who hold to the historic Christian view of marriage while experiencing erotic desire exclusively or primarily for people of the same gender. Some believe that a phrase like 'Gay Christian' is a reasonable and acceptable way to speak of our brothers and sisters, or as a way for them to identify themselves, while others see in that phrase something that is misleading, misguided, and unhelpful, even contrary to Scripture, and harmful to people. The purpose of these two blog posts will be to explore why that language is an important part of this discussion, with wide-ranging implications.
Opinions on this issue vary widely in Evangelical circles, though not as much in the PCA itself. Conversations with Nate Collins (Revoice), Tim Geiger (Harvest), and Pieter Vaulk (Equip) would yield differing but nuanced conclusions about the propriety of the language, noting how its not what is preferred but that it might also be allowable in certain circumstances. Ministry Leaders and Authors like Sam Alberry, Christopher Yuan, and Rosaria Butterfield would likely make strong cases against its usage at any time.
More importantly, I do hear this language used in the Church in many places by many people and for that reason alone, as well as the place it will no doubt have in the discussion about the nature of sin and temptation that the PCA Study Committee will have to tackle, I want to offer some preliminary observations.
While I don't use the phrase 'Gay Christian' and don't think it should be used by Christians who hold to the historic, orthodox view of sexuality, marriage, and singleness, neither will I make this a shibboleth that keeps me from working with others who take a different view. It is important, however, that my view is clear and publicly so. This is especially the case since I've been the Pastor of people who would say that they were 'Gay' or 'Same-Sex Attracted', as well as their families, in my current church and in every congregation I've ever served. In addition, this is an important part of our ongoing conversation in the PCA about human sexuality.
From Behavior to Identity
I believe the phrase 'Gay Christian' is deeply problematic for a number of reasons, most importantly because it is representative of one of the most monumental shifts in our collective understanding of what it is to be human that has been witnessed in thousands of years. This societal change is a triumph for those who adamantly oppose a Christian view of people as God's image-bearers, often unknowingly supported by those who would want to affirm a Christian view of human dignity rooted in creation.
What has occurred? Simply put, they have succeeded in changing 'homosexual' from a word describing an action to a word identifying a person.
By accepting the recasting of homosexuality as identity rather than behavior, our culture has embraced the full flourishing of a radical idea about what it means to be human and cast aside the last remaining vestiges of a civilization rooted in the soil of Faith. We once knew our identity in reference to the Creator above; we now look for our identity from our desires within.
It really is a big deal because the issue of identity and how it works in our culture is itself influencing our thinking in far-reaching ways we may not realize. We can't really say very much about 'proper' identity vocabulary in reference to the use of a term like 'Gay' in relationship to 'Christian' before we pause to understand why we have such a strong reaction to the issue, to begin with.
It all comes down to a major change in the way we think about what it means to be human, and that happened quite a while ago, and it didn't even start with ideas about human sexuality. That radical change introduced a whole new way of thinking and speaking of ourselves and it's at the core of our conversations about saying, 'I'm a Gay Christian'.
I'm Not a Heterosexual
Here's what I mean. Suppose I started a message at a conference by saying, "I am not a heterosexual." Most people in the audience would probably conclude that I was claiming to be homosexual. We associate and use the words 'homosexual' and 'heterosexual' to denote identity – being – we are saying who we are vs. who we are not, rather than saying something about what we do or don't do.
Would it surprise you to learn that these terms are a relatively recent invention, born in the 1800s? Would it shock you to know that for thousands of years civilization – whether Christian or otherwise – never used such terms to describe people?
For many centuries we spoke of two categories of people in regard to sexuality: male and female. That biological binary was the identifier. That men and women had sexual desires of all kinds, licit and illicit, was beside the point. Those desires represented their attractions, whether for good or bad, but did not define their persons. That they acted in various ways sexually was well known but those actions were exactly that – actions – not identities. They were men and women. They were (and remain) image bearers of God.
The Rise of Expressive Individualism
In the nineteenth century, however, that began to shift dramatically. The notion of 'individualism', a term that was first used by DeToqueville in connection with Enlightenment assertions (broadly considered) about the nature of human personhood, began its rapid ascent as an arbiter of freedom and fulfillment in our culture.
This movement marked the transition from what Charles Taylor has referred to as the 'porous self' to the 'buffered self'.
The porous self existed in communion with a world beyond the visible, an 'enchanted' cosmos of spirit forces and communion between these and the tangible, visible order. The 'buffered self', by way of contrast, holds to a society in which there exists a hard, fixed, impenetrable boundary between persons and 'the other', specifically any supposed supernatural being(s) if they – or it – even exists.
The porous self could find its meaning and identity in relationship to God above. The buffered self, denying either the existence of or accessibility to God, cannot discover its meaning beyond itself; it cannot look up, but must instead look within itself for identity and meaning. The porous self confesses, "I am who God has said that I am", while the buffered modern must say, "I am who I say that I am."
The New Dominant Idea
Sociologist Robert Bellah notes that a pre-modern person would seek to make something of the world, but the postmodern person seeks to make something of the self. This has the force of religious dogma in a post/anti-religious culture, and it is why any move to 'deny the self' is viewed so negatively and any move to deny any person the ability to assert their identity is viewed as oppressive, dangerous, anti-human, and 'heretical' in the 'Individuist' vision of reality.
The new human must search for identity within the realm of experiences and desires, not in texts of revelation; the goal of being human is not conformity to the nature of the Creator, but to instead give full voice to the authentic self. That is what it means to be fully human. "I am who I am. None shall deny me my liberty to define myself!" – this the Creed of the newest religion.
What This Means
The implications of this change are far-reaching, but let's confine ourselves to the subject of sexuality.
Briefly stated, people once saw their personal identity in relationship to the Creator who assigned to them their creaturely identity: male or female. The new way of seeing reality did away with God's relevance and authority to name/identify us; we were left to ourselves to define ourselves. How can we do so? Without a reference to the Creator above, humans decided to turn to our desires within.
Charles Taylor calls this approach to human identity 'radical expressivism', and others call this 'expressive individualism'. While it concerns far more than our sexual selves, it also clearly includes them, and in some cases, these have become the defining characteristic of the person.
This search for the authentic self is rooted in Romanticist notions of the self, of giving full expression to feeling, especially that which is spontaneous and therefore viewed as 'pure'. Nature is seen as neutral and intrinsic to the self, as Taylor again notes, "Fulfilling my nature means espousing the inner 'elan, the voice or impulse… expressivism is the basis for a new and fuller individuation…'"
In the definition of the self that is rooted in desire and impulse, people had to take account of the sexual self to express identity. If one's desires are for the opposite sex, one confesses, 'I AM' a heterosexual, but if one's erotic desires are for the same sex then one can say, 'I AM' a homosexual. Nature then is not primarily an aspect of physicality but psychology as well. Indeed, the inner dominates the outer and is permitted to neutralize it: the voice of the heart has a higher place in this new hierarchy of being than the structure of the body. 'Male and Female' fade into the background; 'homosexual and heterosexual' step forward as identities.
If a man has desires for a sexual relationship with another man, despite the fact that his body was clearly designed for a sexual relationship with a woman, leading to procreation, he must acknowledge that desire trumps design and identify as 'homosexual' or 'gay'. Despite the objective fact that the human body is created male and female for reproduction, this 'natural' state must be brought into submission to the true identity by the assertion of the inner self.
Think about how this impacts young people. Suppose a thirteen-year-old boy is aware that he has same-sex desires and shares that fact with a professional – a teacher or a counselor, maybe even a Pastor. As things are currently ordered, many would immediately say to him, "You're gay." They have taken the desire and made of it an identity, one that young man must now try to fit into, looking for all the accouterments of a Gay life. And now that he knows 'who he is' – something all young people especially want to know – there will be very little one can do to talk him out of that identity.
This impacts the discussion of Gender Identity as well. A person may be physically male but if he 'feels' himself to be female, he must consider adjusting his body to that inner reality. In this new era, 'sex' may be between the legs, but 'gender' is identified between the ears… and it can evolve. Not only that, but the body can be modified, at least by those who can afford the surgery. A man can then 'chestfeed' a baby.
Revolutionary Times
Camille Paglia is a pagan lesbian feminist. She is a brilliant writer as well. She correctly notes that "homosexuality is not 'normal'. On the contrary, it is a challenge to the norm: therein lies its eternal revolutionary character… Nature exists whether academics like it or not. And in Nature, procreation is the single, relentless rule…our sexual bodies were designed for procreation. However, my libertarian view, here as in regard to abortion, is that we have not only the right but the obligation to defy nature's tyranny… We have absolute claim to our bodies and may do with them as we see fit."
In the new moral ecology that Paglia so aptly describes, no external moral standard can be applied to human nature for no external moral code is needed (even if one exists) beyond the good of the self; the full expression of feeling and thought, flowing from the interior to the exterior, is a manifestation of the truly human, and that sense of the self is what is 'true'. That truth, 'my truth', is true truth and not subject to the judgment of anyone else. 'I am who I am' is uttered now not by Yahweh, but by each of us acting as our own gods, an ancient impulse that led to a terrific amount of trouble to begin with.
I disagree with Paglia's vision, but I do believe she understands nature and the need to neutralize or 'conquer' it if a new kind of human is meant to emerge in her revolution.
In this new self-exalting society, true virtue, heroic virtue (!), exists not in denying the self for the sake of others (or the beloved other, a spouse or child or city and nation) but in expressing the self for the sake of the self alone. Only in such a fully expressive state can 'others' be helped, though their flourishing is not a goal. All that matters is the full expression of the true self as defined by the self, according to desire, passion, and thought.
This 'expressive individualism' is at the bedrock of our current civilization, and any discussion of the LGBTQ+ issues must take it into account. It is why my LGBTQ friends feel that their personhood is being attacked if anyone says that homosexual actions are 'sinful' or 'wrong'. In response to such assertions another new word, 'homophobic' (invented in 1972), is rolled out to silence all objections: agree with the Identity Tyrants or be labeled and silenced.
It's why Christians who hold to the historic standards on these issues are met by such a visceral and angry response in our culture. It is not at all clear that our culture 'approves' of homosexual behavior per se, but they have no grounds left to challenge it. Our culture has embraced an idea of 'truth' and the 'self' that demands they defer to every person about their 'expression of self' and defend everyone from anyone saying the self they're expressing is 'wrong'. This is a tectonic shift in our culture, causing moral earthquakes across the globe. People are understandably shaken.
Back to the Body
In short, the entire conversation about human sexuality has been transformed from a discussion about the actions and desires of men and women into a discussion of the self-perception and definition of humans by themselves without reference to their bodies (their embodied self), procreative purposes, or any Creator-defined identity and purpose. In this new era, a new binary has triumphed over the old. In the historical view, we were first male or female; in the radical new view, we are first either gay or straight.
And that is why when in the imaginary meeting I said, "I'm not a heterosexual", the imaginary audience responded in a predictable fashion. I am not, you see, a heterosexual. Nor am I a homosexual. I am a man. I am a male member of the human species, made in God's image, just a little lower than the angels, but with every aspect of my being affected by a deeply rooted antagonism to God and his ways that always erupts and poisons my life. I am, in fact, a Christian man. I am not very good at it most days, but that's a reminder that I need a Savior.
This is also at the core of the conversation in the PCA over the language to be employed in pastoral care, evangelism, preaching, and so on – and as people of the Word, we all agree that words matter. And people matter. So we must ask whether the position I hold is faithful to Scripture and loving towards people. It must be both to pass muster.
And to that subject, I will turn in the next post.
Is there an answer to be found to the question of how we handle identity? I believe there is. Here's a clue from a question put to John the Baptist:
"Who are you… what do you say about yourself?"
- John's Gospel, chapter 1
Good question.

Here's one of the fundamental conundrums of leadership: How do you find the right balance between managing day-to-day operations on the one hand, and future threats and opportunities on the other? The outcome: almost invariably, the important (but often not day-to-day urgent) issues of the future taking a back seat to the urgent (but often not important) day-to-day issues.
Dominique Buyse, a former Boston Consulting Group strategy consultant, and now CEO of Venture Spirit, was so convinced of the importance of this dilemma that he and his partner, Stefan Triest, developed a company devoted to solving it. I recently spoke with Buyse about the pitfalls of managing innovation in a corporate environment – and how gamification can help companies do more, better.
Marc E. Babej: In a nutshell, why do so many companies find it so difficult to look beyond the tip of their nose?
Dominique Buyse: We work with executives in both entrepreneurial firms and large multinationals. They often have great teams and organizations – but the very structure of these organizations limits them. For the simple reason that organizations are primarily built to manage the "core business" – not things like building global scale, novel forms of processes or ways of working. In other words, the very nature of organizational structures is such that it leaves little if any space for some things that are very important, but not directly related to what is considered the core business.
Babej: If these organizations are aware that their future success requires them to think beyond their core business, why don't they expand the scope of their attention?
Buyse: Very often, it's not for lack of trying. Some organizations are well aware of these issues, but blocked in terms of approaching them. For example, you don't have to explain to a German automobile manufacturer how Tesla could impact their business. Rather, the question is: how can they activate the knowledge of their thousands of employees, who are geared up to working the traditional way, to address new opportunities and threats. Much of the answer to that lies in gamification.
Babej: Explain…
Buyse: "We create a parallel virtual organization and team structure that cuts across all of the traditional silos and barriers. We then put this parallel structure to work on two online gamification tools, called The Venture Game and The Inspiration Game.
Babej: How would you define gamification?
Buyse: In essence, it's the use of game elements and techniques to solve real business challenges. Game elements can be competition, ranks or role-playing. A risk-free environment can also be important – having the opportunity to try something again when the first time you didn't succeed.
Let me give you an example: In The Venture Game people get to play in virtual startup interaction. They create startups, have virtual venture capital money, and try to become the next Google or Apple in this environment. Being able to pursue innovation or problem solving in an environment that has been specifically designed to foster this, makes it a lot easier to come up with innovative solutions. Players try to solve for threats and opportunities related to their company – but in a context that is separate from the organizational structure in which they operate in their day-to-day working lives. Without this "baggage," gamification makes it fun for the participants to think and interact with each other, around the issues they encounter in their real business lives.
Babej: How important is interaction to success in a game?
Buyse: It's crucial. One immediate effect of the game is that it enables participants to interact with colleagues they work well with – and would never have met in the actual organization.
The fun aspect, which is so important, is possible because the rules of the game are fundamentally different from the rules of the organization: For example, people are anonymous in the game – this means they evaluate each other based on contribution, not on titles or rank in the regular organization.
Babej: How important is anonymity to the success of a game?
Buyse: It's crucial, because it allows junior people to evaluate and critique ideas of senior people without fear. And reversely it allows senior people to get unvarnished feedback they usually don't get in a hierarchical organizational environment. Anonymity is the secret ingredient to tapping all of the brains and creativity within the organization without the constraints of hierarchy or politics. Gender, nationality or minority status effectively don't exist in the world of the game. Some people who are usually shy in the actual organizations prove to be some of the most vocal and prized contributors in the games.
Babej: And the rankings in the game are strictly based on contribution?
Buyse: Exactly. The games show people that their contribution matters, and is valued. For many participants, the game is also an important experience because it asks them to contribute to issues, questions and solutions of strategic issues that are usually the domain of a chosen few at the top. It's under such conditions that new ideas are born and sharpened.
Babej: What's the impact of your games in organizations?
Buyse: We work mostly with large multinationals such as Bosch, GlaxoSmithKline, Procter & Gamble, Siemens and Thales. Systematically, we reach 25% of addressed target audience employees – who voluntarily spend time in addition to their regular working hours – on participating in the games. The selected ideas typically are worth tens of millions of Dollars to the organizations.

So it will continue to be true that a balance between layer 1 and layer 2 improvements is needed to continue improving scalability, privacy and versatility, though layer 2 will continue to take up a larger and larger share of the innovation over time.
Layer 1 secures ownership and property rights.
layer 1 would not be actively competing on all of these improvements; it would simply provide a stable platform for the layer 2 innovation to happen on top.
All these problems are a consequence of centralized protocol development.
Gas limit is the single biggest source of the problems he listed, as weird as it sounds. It forces people to wait for a fork for real improvements.
Ethereum appears to be slowly falling into the same centrally planned hole of stagnation that Bitcoin Core fell into, based on the idea that users are dumb and would hurt themselves without arbitrary limits.
Even if the gas limit is necessary during the PoW phase as a way to prevent mining centralization, that's not going to be true for PoS as blocks too big just won't get finalized. Stakers are also, in opposition to miners, actually invested in the future of ethereum.
Now, Zcash and other blockchains are moving toward BLS-12-381, and Ethereum would need to fork again to catch up
Without the gas limit verification could be implemented in EVM as a new contract, but on nodes actually executed as much faster compiled code that's functionally equivalent. Block generators would know that the theoretical gas cost is irrelevant and care only about real execution time.
Problems with sharding are also a consequence of an arbitrary design decision - that block generators must be able to run on really weak hardware. At the same time they are expected to lock 32 ethers, possibly worth way, way more than a powerful pc in the future. What's the logic here?
Bitcoin has the argument that everyone should be able to verify everything on one pc. Sharding throws that away already.
A desktop cpu - Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX has 64 threads (32 cores). Add a NVMe ssd and it means one pc can execute 64 transactions in parallel. Full PoS eliminates exponential time distribution so one block can take >10x longer to verify. That gives ~500M tx/day, no sharding needed, synchronization becomes a relatively trivial problem of a local mutex.
Given how fast core count started increasing it's likely 1024 core desktop cpus are going to appear in a decade. At that point the error in assuming that one node should be treated as single-threaded will become apparent.
This also would be solved by itself without the gas limit - as block generators could develop and use faster parallel validation without asking devs for permission.
It won't be allowed - because of the unspoken assumption that stakers are dumb and will throw away decentralization, the real source of the value of the system, in dumb pursuit of the short-term throughput.
If you are new to our subreddit I will try to summarize how this relates to Raiden.
Raiden is:
Difference between state channels and payment channels:
State channels are still heavily under research and I don't know of anyone being really close to a finished product (maybe someone can help me with this one by pointing out some project that is). Payment channels are still heavily researched, but there are some payment channel networks in crypto space that are available and working. Most popular payment channel network currently is Lightning Network on Bitcoin.
Ok, now it might be little easier to understand an article :).
My personal top 2 quotes are:
"However, in the longer term, I do think that as blockchains become more and more mature, layer 1 will necessarily stabilize, and layer 2 will take on more and more of the burden of ongoing innovation and change."
I share this opinion ever since I learned that you can build layers on top of blockchains. It makes sense because every tech you know today is built in layers. You just can't achieve max potential in a single layer architecture. I would just like to add that, I personally don't see development of blockchain tech stopping at second layer. In future I see L3, L4 .... Ln.
"Additionally, layer 1 can still improve on reducing latency; if layer 1 is slow, the only strategy for achieving very low latency is state channels, which often have high capital requirements and can be difficult to generalize. State channels will always beat layer 1 blockchains in latency as state channels require only a single network message, but in those cases where state channels do not work well, layer 1 blockchains can still come closer than they do today."
VB goes straight to State channels in his article and it is completely understandable (he is focusing on the end result). I personally don't believe tech will be able to go for State channels directly. For every technology there is a step-by-step progress. That is why I think first payment channel tech needs to be well established and researched and only then focus will switch towards successful implementation of State channel tech.
Hope my little explanation helps someone better understand this article and importance of it for Raiden. My personal biggest takeaway from this article I would sum up something like this: "We are not crazy, L2 scaling solutions are the future of blockchain tech".
So... Exactly like Bitcoin, then? BTC in particular, I should add.
TokenSoft is the volume leader in compliant token sales.
The open protocol for tokenized debt.
A secure online platform for buying, selling, and storing digital currencies.
A second layer, off-chain scaling proposal for bitcoin.
Ensuring the blockchain is inexpensive and accessible to everyone.
An open protocol for decentralized exchange on the ethereum blockchain.

After taking eight points from the first four games, the Swans have been bought down to earth in the past week with two 1-0 home defeats - Bristol City last weekend and a much changed team against Crystal Palace in midweek also seeing the Swans slip to defeat
The Swans official sponsors - Bet UK - make the team 51/20 to secure a win at Millwall whilst they are rated at 28/1 to win the Championship this season - why not visit their site to see their guide to Millwall by clicking here
The Sky TV cameras will be in attendance for the third time in our three away trips this season and the fourth time in our six fixtures ahead of the first international break of the season that starts for us at the final whistle on Saturday. Clearly, Potter will be hoping that he will get the same result as the last time we featured in the Saturday early evening kick off - a 2-1 win at Sheffield United started his Swansea career with a bang on the opening weekend of the season.
However, for that to happen it needs to be a much improved performance compared to that one last week where we meekly surrendered our unbeaten start to the season having been unable to recover from the disappointment of conceding inside thirty seconds of kick off.
That improved performance almost certainly will need that changes need to be made particularly in midfield where we surely have to see Leroy Fer coming back into the side you would assume at the expense of Tom Carroll. Personally I would also like to see us return to the formation that served us so well against Leeds which would mean Kyle Naughton coming into a three man back line with Olsson and Roberts turning into wing backs to support the attack.
The loan window will close today with Potter already hinting that there will be no more additions which remains a concern as to the depth of the squad, maybe not by numbers but certainly by quality and it becomes clearer that he is pinning his faith on the youth and hunger of the squad to serve him this season.
"I think we have good competition in all areas of the squad, and for us it's about working hard to get the maximum out of the group of players we have" Potter said at his press conference this week.
"When the window is open, the club's responsibility is to keep looking at who is available, but as the head coach I want to make sure we are improving the guys we have."
This certainly rings true as mentioned earlier in terms of the increase in quality needed from last week's performance and we have to hope that we see that increase this weekend.
Potter's big decision really though is whether to stick with Mulder in goal or whether to re-instate Nordfeldt after his recovery from injury. My gut says that Nortdfeldt will come straight back in but that part remains to be seen.
New signing Carter-Vickers will also travel with the squad but is unlikely to get anything other than a bench place to start his time at Swansea.
The game at the New Den kicks off at 5.30pm live on Sky Sports

Got a new camera for Christmas but you're not Lindsey Adler yet? Here are some great tips to send you on your way to mastering your new gear.
Starting off in photography is a daunting experience. It's difficult to figure out why your photos don't look as nice as others. The secret to that is that there is no secret — you just need to get better. Creative exercises are a great way to hone your skill quickly. It's all well and good to go out and just shoot what you like, but if you don't have a set goal in mind the learning path is a little bit longer, which can end up being frustrating if you want to reach a certain standard. By focusing on a particular exercise, however, that path becomes shorter. With set goals, it's much easier to see your progression and what areas might need more attention.
This doesn't just apply to beginners, of course. If you're stuck in creative rut there's nothing better to get you out of it then to simply try something different. Like the video suggests, try a type of photography that you've never tried before. This can actually make you better at your regular work because it forces you to look at the world in a different light.
In B&H's video, they lay out some common ways in which you can practice the craft. My personal favorite is to put a limitation on myself. This is great for two reasons: 1) I can put whatever limitation I want on myself, and 2) committing to a limitation forces me to think laterally. One limitation that I often practice is to put on my nifty fifty and leave the house — no other gear, just me my least used lens. It might not seem like a huge limitation, but being a landscape photographer, I almost always shoot with a zoom lens. After all, I might need a tighter shot but I can't move closer to my subject because there's 50ft drop in front of me. I mean, I could try, but then Christmas just would be the same without me.
Do any of our readers have a favorite creative exercise?

I did the self same thing over the Christmas period....stuck on my 50mm , switched over to manual and took my chances!!!
God what a blast from the past....some good pics and a lot of crap ones !!! Back to basics can teach you a lot!!!
I did the same. I got into photography recently and got a D750 and the gen.1 24-70 Tamron with VC. I've been shooting it for a few months now but decided to get a 50mm for Christmas. I got the 1.8 Nikkor one and it is insane. I am not taking it off the camera :) It is sharp as a razor and the bokeh is just mmmh! Here are some shots from a few days ago:
I LOVE this lens! And yes, putting on limitatons on yourself really helps get those juices flowing and opens up all the different perspectives you would otherwise miss, so it is definitely worth the while!
As a beginner in the field of photography, Im limited to my 18-55mm and 70-300mm glass. Without all the hoopla of expensive equipment, Im forced to using my imagination to find different angles and lighting and play with those. While it hasnt made me the next Peter Lik or Ansel Adams, it has forced me to stretch my creative muscles in looking for that one moment when it all comes together and the world is right, if but for a moment.
Good hunting peers and mentors.

What are probiotics?
Probiotics are microorganisms that help in the improvement of health.
The gut already contains many microorganisms which maintain a healthy ecosystem.
The term probiotic means "for life". This term was derived from the Greek language. The use of probiotic foods provides health benefits. The benefits of probiotics are being stated by "The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations" and the "World Health Organization". these organizations state that the use of specific probiotic strains can be safe for human.
These organizations have given the definition of probiotics as following:
"Live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host."
Why we should use probiotics?
In daily life, chronic stress can cause the imbalance of the body's natural flora. This natural flora can also be affected by the overdosing of sugar contents and the use of processed foods.
The use of antibiotics also affects the body's natural flora. During bacterial infections, antibiotics are used which eliminates the infectious bacteria but also disturbs the "good bacteria" of the gut. Even one course of antibiotics can disturb the amount of gut flora for up to 12 months. Disturbances in natural flora can lead to the following conditions:
- Hormonal imbalances
- weight gain
- Gastrointestinal tract problems
- Skin problems
- Allergies
- Mental health issues
- Autoimmune diseases
Uses of probiotics
The uses of probiotics are followings:
- The use of probiotic supplements can normalize gut flora.
- Studies suggest that probiotic supplements can improve health in men and women
- The use of probiotics can help in the prevention of many digestive issues.
- Studies suggest that the use of probiotics helps in the prevention of bowel diseases like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
- Its use can also reduce the traveler's diarrhea.
- The use of Probiotics is also helpful in the management of irritable bowel syndrome.
- It also helps in normalizing the body weight.
- Probiotics improve bloating caused by functional bowel disorders.
- Bifidobacterium lactis is a probiotic bacterium. It helps in the reduction of inflammation and promotes weight loss.
Probiotics for women
Studies suggest that probiotics can play an important role in the health management of women.
Probiotics help in the maintenance of healthy microbiome which plays major roles in the improvement of skin, mental health, and many other problems. Its use is also important for vaginal health. It also improves digestive problems which are more common in women than in men.
Following are the probiotics which can be used by women:
For immunity
Kristin Gustashaw says that;
"Bifidobacterium is a type of probiotic well known for its antibacterial abilities and vaginal health help,"
- The use of this bacteria boosts the immune system.
- It also improves the absorption of various metals like zinc, magnesium, calcium, and iron.
- It uses can improve mood.
- It can also help to fight depression.
Align is an example of a supplement that contains Bifidobacterium and can be used to enhance immunity.
For menstrual cramps
Ortho Biotic is the probiotic which can be used to ease menstrual cramps. According to Nour Zibdeh, ortho biotic doesn't contain any bacteria that produce histamine. Histamine is a substance which is linked to inflammation. Intolerance of histamine is very common in women because of the presence of estrogen. The higher levels of estrogen cause more histamine production in the body.
The Symptoms associated with histamine intolerance are followings:
- Headaches
- Itchy skin
- Anxiety
- Menstrual cramps
- Stomach pain
- Diarrhea
Dr. Zibdeh recommends the use of ortho biotic if these symptoms appear at ovulation or right before menstruation. Ortho Biotic is the mixture of strains which are either neutral or able to metabolize excess histamine.
For pregnancy
The mega food's Megaflora for baby and Me is beneficial probiotic during pregnancy.
Beth Warren says that this probiotic contains plant-based compounds like ginger and it can be useful for pregnant women in the following ways:
· Its use can ease stomach and improves digestive functions in pregnant women.
- It also contains prebiotics which helps in the growth of healthy bacteria. Its use is beneficial for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
- Its formulation contains L. rhamnosusHN001 which helps in the development of the child's immune system during the last trimester of pregnancy.
For Breastfeeding
The use of Klaire lab's Target B2 probiotic can be useful for breastfeeding women. This probiotic contains L. fermentum. Its use can be beneficial in the following ways:
- Studies suggest that its use can reduce the symptoms of "mastitis". Mastitis is an inflammation of breast tissues which can result in redness, warmth and breast pain. In most cases, mastitis affects breastfeeding women which are called as lactation mastitis.
Studies also suggest that its use is more effective than the use of antibiotics. Breastfeeding women cannot have long term antibiotic therapies because antibiotics can affect the child. In this way, this probiotic is effective for the breastfeeding women suffering from lactation mastitis.
It can also improve the breast infections caused by blocked milk ducts.
For Vaginal Health
Following probiotics can be used to improve vaginal health
Jarrow Formulas' Fem dophilus
Jarrow Formulas' Fem dophilus is the probiotic which can help in gynecological conditions. It can improve vaginal health in the following ways:

What is the first thought that comes to mind when I say the word teenagers?
The Life of a Teenage Girl
I know for a fact that this is not an accurate representation of who I am, or who my friends and classmates are. Every teen is different and an individual in their own right, just the same as adults. I think most teenagers are just looking for meaning in their lives and trying to reach a point of independence. I am really surprised by all the cynical and prejudiced assumptions most people make.
As a teenager, I and most of my friends strive to learn and grow, have proper grammar skills and do not go off partying every night.
Popular Essays
For the most part, if you respect teens, we will respect you in return. Every older generation makes the claim that teens today are out of control, have no discipline, are into crime, their clothes are weird, their music is noise, etc. This is nothing new.
The media cannot present the world to us, despite their assertions of truth and reality. The media offer us perspectives or selected views of the world around us.
We have knowledge of sportspeople through sports coverage in the press and on television programmes. You used to be there when I got off the bus — you listened to my day. Then you went to fix dinner while I played with my friends. Now — I come home to an empty house, let myself in, let the dog out and try to find something to do to fill the lonely hours until you come home from work.
This unsupervised time is the best time for me to get into trouble.
Mean Girls: The Appeal of Teen movies - Words | Essay Example
I miss you — I miss the time we used to spend together. Where am I suppose to learn about life, to learn about character, belief in myself, honesty, work ethic, discipline and integrity???? Every time you pick up a newspaper or watch a news program, you see another story talking about how there something wrong with the present day teens. They immediately assume that all teens are hiding their true selves, which is actually reckless and out of control. Who writes this stuff?
Have these editors talked to a teen lately? That cover seemed to excuse President Clinton for his affair with Monica Lewinsky. They make it sound like all teens are like that. Adults talk about wanting teens to succeed but often they block the path to success.

Those words searching for justice seem to jump out of the pages of news I read everyday. We hear those same cries for justice on all our media everyday. Sometimes we wonder who we are protecting, those who have been wronged or the ones who did the wrong.
I come from a Catholic family and was raised by Catholic parents. I went to Catholics schools for 11 years. I was a alter boy and a Boy Scout for about 6 of those years. I'll state this right up front I never was once touch by any member of clergy unjustifiably in anyway. So the things I've read in the last ten years or so have been hard for me to understand. We live in a world were evil is prevalent in almost all parts of life. So why not in the Churches too. That is a hard reality to shallow for some of us.
A harder reality to swallow is who is the Church protecting, The victims or the perpetrators? That really is hard to figure out. We understand were some of the charges of misconduct are 40 and 50 years old. Yet at the same time the Church response when complaints were brought was to just to move these individuals to another church or somewhere out of sight. Then you see the Pope asking people to forgive and asking prayers for healing. I do get that and understand that these people need forgiveness. I also understand that a great amount of money has been poured out to individuals harmed by these clergy members.
Something still seems to be missing in the way churches handle this revelation of clergy abuse of our children and in some cases vulnerable older individuals in our churches. I know that it has to be effecting the collection plates in churches but more over it shakes our faith in our leadership within the walls of the church. These Godly people who preach that Jesus saves, who sit there and say that abuse is wrong. Yet don't give us a definitive answer to what they are doing to keep this from happening the best you can. We know that nothing can be a 100 percent fool proof, but to least say that your instructions in your seminaries is too all individual if your mind is on anything other than bringing glory to God . You should leave and not let the door hit you in the butt.
One last thing churches and not just Catholic churches , you should read this next very carefully. I don't want to be a prophet but so I shall be in what I say next. Leaders in all churches both clergy and lay leaders you have a choice clean your congregations up and show the integrity you should have. For if you don't God will because it isn't your church but it is God's.

The Colour of My Dreams
David Thomas
(Macmillan Children's Books)
96pp, POETRY, 978-0330480208, RRP £4.99, Paperback
8-10 Junior/Middle
Dixon goes from strength to strength in each new collection of poems. The Colour of My Dreams is a good title for all the themes and subjects addressed in these poems. There are poems on shadows, cuddles, angles, escaped hamsters, worksheets and wheelchair access. Thomas deserves special mention for his illustrations which go far beyond the usual format and quality of artwork to be found in the typical paperback primary age anthology produced these days.

TORONTO, Sept. 13, 2012 /CNW/ - Ontario students will hold a press conference to outline their demands before participating in a government consultation on the future of Ontario colleges and universities.

LOCATION: Queen's Park Media Studio
DATE AND TIME: September 14, 2012 at 9:30 AM

Bye Bye 3 Day Weekend...
Weekend Eating Highlights
Saturday and Sunday Lunch: Black Bean Burrito (my usual beans) in a WW Wrap with Part Skim Mozzarella
Saturday Dinner: PIZZA made with Part Skim Mozzarella Cheese, Onions, Peppers, Mushrooms, Pepperoni, and Marinara on a WW Wrap
Sunday Dinner: WW Pasta with Marinara and Sauteed Mushrooms
I would love to say that I ate Great all weekend but I can't tell a lie ha....I brought Ice Cream this weekend because it was on sale....HUGE MISTAKE...I found out this weekend that I can not keep Ice Cream in the house...I am not at "that" place yet lol
Eats for Today:
Mini Banana before my morning workout
1 Scoop of LMM After my workout
Breakfast: Kashi Maple and Brown Sugar Oatmeal with Chopped Strawberries and my usual coffee (Iced)
Sunday: Turbo Jam Cardio Party and Tae Bo Energy (before Jillian came into my life, Billy was my GOD ha) and burned 682 Calories in 90 minutes. This morning I did 30 Shred Level 3 and 1 and Turbo Jam 20 minute workout and burned 636 in 75 minutes.
This morning my watch informed me that I burned 4660 Calories last week in my workouts. Do you know that if I was able to eat right and STOP cheating! I would be at my goal weight by now...I have tried every trick in the book but nothing is working. I sit there and wait 1/2 an hour and see if the urge passes and nothing. I try to reflect on WHY I am doing this, and nothing....I am two seconds away from destroying all the takeout menus in my apt and removing all the phone numbers from my cell phone hahaha. I tried calling into Jillian's show ayer but it was busy for 2 hours lol...
Have a great day!

Where do you get mini bananas? Do they taste like regular ones? I imagine the point of them is that they have less calories because they're smaller. Where'd you get them - I've never see them before.ReplyDelete
I found them in the produce section, they are Chiquita Bananas but just tiny =)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 6, 2009 at 9:25 PM
Those banana's are adorable!ReplyDelete
Could you maybe need to be eating more? I've read somewhere that sometimes increasing calories will take you out of that plateue!
When I was seeing my nutritionist to lose weight the first time around and hit a plateau, she would tell me to do the same thing and it usually helped. The only difference was that at that time I was really eating right but now I am cheating here and there and it's catching up to me...ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 6, 2009 at 10:30 PM
ah well, lesson learnt. lol.ReplyDelete
I'm sorry about the slow weight loss...urges are hard to conquer! What about keeping yourself busy with other things, and sleeping early?
- AnonymousJuly 7, 2009 at 3:43 PM
I agree with the above...try staying busy. I often "cheat" or overeat when I am bored or emotional about something. You can do it, just keep trying new strategies until you find one that works. I would def delete the numbers from your phone at least! ;-)ReplyDelete
HA Maybe I should...it's bad when you are ordering something and you are like "I want it well done" and they tell you "Ohh I know already" HA...I totally had the Chinese Restaurant Scene in SATC with Miranda haReplyDelete

As a Church of England school, the teaching and learning of Religious Education is given a very high priority. It is a core subject and we value the contribution it makes to the spiritual and emotional well being of our children as they develop into compassionate and respectful citizens.
We use the resource, 'Understanding Christianity' to structure the teaching of Christianity throughout school, and follow the Derbyshire Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education as revised in September 2014 for all other world faiths: Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism and Judaism.
In the Early Years Foundation Stage, children learn about themselves, their families and what it means to belong to different groups, including faith groups.
At Key Stage One children build upon this knowledge, and learn about the Jewish, Islamic and Christian faith in more detail. They also hear about inspirational people of different faiths and consider what makes a good leader, as well as learning about a wide variety of creation stories. All children have a weekly R.E. lesson led by a specialist teacher.
At Key Stage Two children broaden and deepen their understanding of all the major world faiths. They are encouraged to ask'big questions' as they find out about different faiths and their traditions, and consider what it means to them. Children have a weekly R.E. lesson, taught by their class teachers.
Learning in R.E. is enriched by many different visitors, including community faith leaders, family members and staff as they talk about their beliefs and values and how they impact positively on their lives. Each year we have 'special days of learning in R.E.' whereby children learn in mixed aged groups and explore an aspect of Christianity. This year our special days are about thankfulness and Harvest, Advent and Easter.
