Spiritual expression is Love
As most of you may know, I am a qualified relationship mentor & I believe that the most important relationship we have in life is with self. Well, I also believe, that a relationship with God is as important. God for me is God the father & his son Jesus. I tend to pray to them and our lady the most. I love the Sacred Heart & always have. When I have found it really hard to pray in my life, then I tend to say, Oh most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in you. It was only when I became a mother myself that Our Lady, became important in my life too. My reason for loving the Sacred Heart is because his heart is exposed and from his heart there is love. I suppose I like to think that I am a heart person & when I reflect on the passion of Christ and what he went through, then he must have loved all of mankind to have gone through such pain & torture for us. Spiritually I am quite traditional. I love praying and any day or days, (as is the case), that I don't pray, I feel there is something missing in my life. That "something" is solid & good & I have a sense of connection, a feeling of being whole, which I loose, when I disconnect from prayer. I like going to mass too, but rarely go! I'm smiling here because I self-sabotage on what I love to do! I like confession. But again, rarely go. I do the same thing with dance, I say this to give balance.
Who is God? Well when I had religion class in primary school, I was told "God is our father in heaven". That is seriously abstract isn't it? In answer to my own question, no, it isn't as abstract as I may have first thought. God made me & you and I believe, we are all made in his image. So if I am made in God's image, then what is God's image? One word, LOVE. Then I am love. I believe love is our eternal legacy to the world & to the people we meet in life. I truly believe that if we really realised how much we are loved by God, that we would weep with joy. Sit with that for a while. Imagine if all the people on earth truly believed & understood we are unconditionally loved, for who we are, warts and all, wouldn't the world be a fabulous place to live in.
All I need to do is look at the beauty of our world, to see the beauty of God's love for all mankind. God made us a magnificently beautiful world to inhabit while we live our lives here on earth. Sometimes, I don't allow that truth settle into the core of my being. I forget.
Then when I try to get any other concept of God, it truly boggles my mind. My human brain just doesn't grasp that God was always there. Or how could he have thought of making the universe, the stars, the sun, the moon, the whole galaxy! And how was God always there?!? Looking at nature, with its seasonal changes, the PH balance in Oceans, all the animals, flowers & trees, God thought them all up. He thought each individual up too. Now I know you can say, well my Mum & Dad made me & certainly that is true, however, of all the sperm that made it to the egg, one sperm gets through & you are made. Who decides what sperm gets through? Is that a Divine decision? Is that what is so sacred about conception? I do know this, that when both my children were conceived, our love making on both those nights, had an added dimension & was incredible special.
Given the life I have lived, I used to ask this question, how come I didn't end up a hooker and a drug user or an alcoholic? I am a drug user, in that I smoke cigarettes & I know why I smoke them. I do drink wine, but I am lucky in that my body cannot take a lot of alcohol. I can't bear to be drunk & sick, so I just don't go there. I didn't end up a hooker, mainly because as a child I felt I was one. That is true & I did feel huge shame & guilt about it when I was much younger, until I realised that I didn't own that shame and guilt. I was after all a child. On a deeper level, I truly believe & it took me years to answer this question for myself, that it was my relationship with God that kept me safe. Some might say, the "Straight & narrow" path, however, in my experience there is nothing straight and narrow about God. God is all encompassing in my experience.
When I was about 15 years old, I hated my father with a passion, I was consumed with hate for him. Then one day, on my way to mass, quite near the church, this voice came into my head and said, "Trich as long as you hate him, you will destroy yourself". It was a physical jolt to my body & in that moment, I knew this voice was right. Yes you could say this was my own inner wisdom saying this to me, and maybe you'd be right, for me though, I felt it was God saying this to me. From that moment on I prayed so that I would forgive my Dad & equally prayed that I wouldn't have any sexual hang-ups. Through my prayers, I achieved both. I also did a lot of therapy too. And I started reading psychology & self-help books from the age of 18. From my mid-thirties, I went to college to study human behaviour.
I learned that there are 8 expressions of self, one of those expressions is Spirituality. We are all spiritual beings. It is an area I neglect sometimes. It is an area I love too. Religion doesn't bother me, because when I was young, I realised that there was only one God anyway & what really matters, is how I live my life here on earth. One of the biggest lessons I learned very early in my life, is that when someone was kind & compassionate to me, I grew taller on the inside, it helped me to feel good about who I am. Much later in my life, I realised that I needed to be both kind and compassionate with me. I didn't (I hope), forget a kindness done to me. When I realised that kindness lifted my own spirit, I decided to be kind towards others. Through understanding myself, I was able to be compassionate towards people and in so doing, became compassionate towards myself. I believe they are God's gifts to us all, if we choose them. After all, God gave us the right to choose or free will as some may like to call it.
This year I did a lot of reading on "Near Death Experiences" and without exception, those that travelled towards the Light, through the tunnel and ended up on the other side, experienced in the core of their being, unconditional love. So much so they did not want to return! I have two ambitions in life, one is to be who God made me to be, my need is to be my own unique expression of him here on earth. For me that means being the best of who I am and accepting the worst of who I am and not judging either. In those times where I am not in my best place and hurt those I love and I do, is to seek their forgiveness and my own forgiveness & to say I am sorry. This year saw me have many nights of tears for the hurt I have caused to others & myself in my life. I did try to make amends, but because the person I had hurt, was so hurt, they rejected my attempt to make amends. I don't for a moment blame them, I accept this is where they are. I also accept when I hurt them, that was where I was! I do wish the outcome had been different.
My only other ambition is that when I die I go home to heaven. I truly desire eternity being in the presence of unconditional love. God.

Great blog. "....if all the people on earth truly believed & understood we are unconditionally loved, for who we are, warts and all, wouldn't the world be a fabulous place to live in...." Yes, God is Unconditional Love, maybe the best experience we have of such a liberating power in our life. PeterReplyDelete
Thanks P, that is a lovely thought :)ReplyDelete
Trich, you really never know a person's struggles until they reveal them, and yours have been significant. If you can have a healthy perception of relationships and be truthful with yourself about God being an encompassing force in your life, surely all of us can. I love that we both worship the same way and are kindred spirits in that. God bless you for your wisdom and your prevailing strength. You are an incredible person.ReplyDelete
thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
second last paragraph = karma ?
last paragraph i had to read each line 3 times, dripping with meaning.
kind regards brian
Wow Amberr, thank you. I guess I feel like any other human being does, as I have all the basic needs of a human being. Thank you for your very kind compliment.ReplyDelete
I really do believe it was all the graces & blessings I received from God, helped me through my own challenges.
But there isn't one human being alive that doesn't have their own challenges, in truth, none of us escapes the opportunity to grow in this life. ;)
Hi Brian,ReplyDelete
I wrote this because of you actually. So thank you sincerely. See first paragraph where I mention a guy on twitter, tu fein!
Thank you for your kind comments Brian. :)

PG-13 | 2h 8min | Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi | 22 June 2018 (USA)
Just yesterday, in the men's room, this 6-year-old Chinese boy, washing his hands, suggested to me (apropos of nothing): "Triceratops!" I quickly countered with "T. rex!" He said, "Stegosaurus!" I said, "Carnotaurus!"
He said, "I don't know Carnotaurus." I said, "Aha! Oh, he's a good one. Big, mean—real scary." He said, "Huh!" This is the language of men. Here's a Carnotaurus right here:
So, with "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom," we're on to the fifth installment of the dino franchise, and this one's a summer blockbuster alright—the seventh highest grossing 2018 summer film, as of this writing. It's getting mixed reviews, but I enjoyed the heck out of it.
Remember Isla Nublar?
Isla Nublar is the island where the "Jurassic World" dino park got shut down on account of dino mayhem. Producer Steven Spielberg seems to have had a little precognitive insight, because in the current film, Isla Nublar is experiencing devastating volcanic activity that looks exactly like the volcanic activity going on in Hawaii right now. Hot lava would appear to be a good (final) solution to the human problem of having played God and gene-tampered with Jurassic-era creatures.
For those living on Mars for the last 20 years, what happened was that we human idiots resurrected and reinstalled dinos, forgetting that 1) what can go wrong definitely will, 2) that man is not really the apex predator around here, by a long shot, and 3) ancient food chains have a way of re-establishing themselves with alacrity.
The Players
Jeff Goldblum's Ian Malcolm gives a fine speech to Congress about why we should let nature take its course and let the animals go re-extinct via hot lava. But don-cha know, somebody, somewhere, wants to further the dino-sploitation, on account of making dino dollars.
And so former zealous park boss Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard), who OK'd the original plans to start Frankensteining dinos, is called in. Because she knows the lay of the land. Only problem is that she's now become a zealous dino-activist.
So a rescue op is set in motion; they need to get as many dinos off the island as possible, sort of like dino Noahs. Claire's ex, Owen Grady (Chris Pratt), is also recruited, for purposes of romantic tension and ex-lover bickering.
The only problem with this is that Pratt—one of our finer funnymen—is given so few funny lines. You wonder what Spielberg was thinking. It's like having The Rock go back to World Wrestling Entertainment and being told: "You can't say 'Jabroni.'" "You can't say 'Fixin' yourself a nice tall glass of shut-up juice.'" "You can't say 'Candy-' … ." You get the picture.
The Bad Guys
Eli Mills (Rafe Spall) is a smarmy little man who care-takes the feeble Benjamin Lockwood (James Cromwell), who is the founder of the dino resurrection, and Lockwood's mansion. Mills seems so sincere! He appears to be rescuing the dinos from the smoldering island with his paramilitary henchman Ken Wheatley (Ted Levine) in charge. Meanwhile, down in the subterranean labs below the mansion, all kinds of devious, dino updates are underway.
The dastardly military-grade dino weaponization had already begun in the last movie, but here it goes a considerable notch higher. The creature that outstrips the very horrible Indominus rex of the last movie is the even more horrible Indoraptor. It's described by Wheatley as a hot rod, and indeed it is. It's like if you hybridized the Predator and the Alien and the T. rex and put them in a Velociraptor body, all black and glittery-eyed and evil-toothed.
A very fun, potent concoction. Leave it to master cinematic people-pleaser Spielberg to come up with this thing. Awesome.
Of course, the fun thing about the dino movies is the swift dino-chomping karmic retribution of bad people, for torturing, cooping up, and gene-tinkering the giant reptilian beasts.
Is It As Good As the First One?
Of course not. That first one was all Spielberg. It had the novel concept, the element of surprise, CGI so good it still makes most current CGI look bad, and quite a lot of Jeff Goldblum's brilliant, loony delivery.
In spite of the fact that we all know at some point that T. rex is going to hit an iconic tableaux shot and roar the (what sounds to me like) an elephant-mixed-with-a-trombone-mixed-with-a-human-scream roar,
and that the Velociraptor is going to run around swiftly and chomp somebody who really deserves it, this one will nevertheless have you on the edge of your seat.
It also contains the seeds of a brand new, major upgrade and story line for the next movie, such that any hint at it would be a big fat spoiler. But it's the logical outcome of these dino shenanigans. If you think really hard about it right now, you'll figure it out. But don't go there.
You know, when I was a kid, the paleontologists had dinosaurs standing upright, with their tails dragging on the ground. Round about the 1980s, they figured out that dinos were significantly bird-like, and tipped their torsos forward, using the now-elevated tail as a stabilizer. I'm looking forward to when the "Jurassic" series finally gets caught up with current thinking: They were mostly all giant birds. With feathers. Yup, that's right, brilliantly colored plumage—gigundous jungle parakeets. They also didn't roar. They may have twittered. Or went, "Buk-buk-buk… buh-kaaaaaaaw!!"
We don't like that concept right now; it's not monster-like enough, maybe, to sell blockbuster tickets. But at some point, Spielberg is going to have to face the fact that dinos were sort of exotic mega-chickens. Hey, for all we know (what with all these new paleontology revelations coming to light), there might have been mega-humanoids around too, who felt that a T. rex egg omelet was a substantial breakfast. I wonder which dino was the original provider of bacon? Just sayin'.

How to use CRON expressions
In the majority of cases it is enough to use standard scheduler modes, for example âDailyâ, âWeeklyâ, âMonthlyâ, etc. In some rare cases it is required to schedule more difficult task. For example, to run the agent every 5 minutes between 8:00 AM and 11:00 AM every Monday, Wednesday and Friday during September. In such cases we need to use CRON expressions. CRON expression consists of 7 subexpressions divided by spaces. Each subexpression is responsible for some definite part of the process of scheduling.
|Possible value
|0-59 seconds
|0-59 minutes
|0-23 hour
|1-31 (depending on month)
|0-11 or rows JAN, FEB, MAR, APR, MAY, JUN, JUL, AUG, SEP, OCT, NOV and DEC
|1-7 or rows SUN, MON, TUE, WED, THU, FRI and SAT
|optional field (4 digit year)
Example of expression: 0 0 8 ? * MON means that the task will be run every Monday at 8 AM
Each subexpression is presented as some range or list. For example, MON can be changed to "MON-FRI,SUN" The values can be divided by comma, for example, MON,TUE,WED,THU,FRI and equivalent expression with diapason MON-FRI
- Symbol '*' - wild-card to indicate all possible values. For example, * in the field "Month" means every month, * in the field Day-of-Week means every day of the week.
- Symbol '/' is used to indicate incremental component, for example 10/5 in the field Minutes means "every 5 minutes" starting from the 10th minute. To put it in other words it is equivalent to 10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55.
- Symbol '?' is used in the fields Day-of-Month, Day-of-Week and means "arbitary meaning" . It is used when the field value should be neglected.
- Symbol 'L' is used in the fields Day-of-Month, Day-of-Week. It is a short form of "Last" for the field Day-of-Month and it means the last day of the month. For example, the last dat of January is 31, the last day of February in the leap year is 29. In the field Day-of-Ween the symbol acquires some other meaning: "last xxx of the month" , for example 2L or MONL means "the last Monday of the month" . Also it is possible to indicate a shift, for example L-2 means "two days before the end of the month" .
- Symbol 'W' is used to indicate the nearest working days. For example, 10W in the field Day-of Month means "the nearest working days on the 10th of this month"
- Symbol '#' is used to indicate "the nth XXX weekday of the month" . For example, expression 2#3 or MON#3 in the field Day-of-Week means "third Monday of the month"
Examples of CRON expressions
0 0/5 * * * ?
fires the task every 5 minutes.
0 30 12/2 * * ?
fires the task at (12:30 14:30, 16:30, etc)
fires the task at 10:20, 11:20, 12:20, 13:20 every Monday and Friday.

|Gretchen J. Berg & Aaron Harberts & Craig Sweeny
|Air Date:
Today on Sci-Fi Adventures, I'm got another rushed Discovery review for you. I'm up to episode 3, Context is for Kings, which is a weird name. Very un-Star Trek. Though to be honest, I'm just happy we're actually getting new Star Trek episode titles again; it's been a long while.
The episode's written by showrunners Gretchen J. Berg & Aaron Harberts, who also wrote the last episode, but they're joined this time by Limitless creator Craig Sweeny. Lots of writers. They even got a writer to direct it: Batman & Robin's Akiva Goldsman. Funny that the third episode of The Orville was directed by a notorious writer as well; I hope Goldsman did as good a job as Brannon Braga did.
This is one of my quick reviews, meaning that I'm skipping the screencaps and in-depth scene-by-scene observations, and going straight for the SPOILERS. I'm considering all 51 years of Star Trek up to this point to be fair game for my spoilers, especially Where No Man Has Gone Before, plus Where No One Has Gone Before and other episodes with super space travel.
It begins 6 months after the events of the epic two-parter season opener with Starfleet's first mutineer taking a ride on Starfleet's worst prison bus. These are not nice folks on this shuttle, but there's just one pilot and she's sitting utterly unguarded. Then she decides to go outside to clean off the energy draining bugs that have never bothered any shuttle before or since, and ends up getting flung off into space because... there was a storm outside? It can't be that she accidentally left the engines on because she fell towards the front of the shuttle.
Then the Discovery finally makes its grand entrance to rescue them and the prisoners are brought to the mess hall, where they immediately attempt to kill our hero in plain sight of the well-armed crewmembers sitting all around them! Burnham has to take two of them down before Commander Landry decides that it's the right time to get up and tell her that the captain wants to see her. It's kind of dumb. Though I did like how the prisoners were all actors who'd appeared in The Expanse, including Deus Ex star Elias Toufexis.
Stamets is potentially the second smartest Starfleet officer Saru's ever met and he ain't happy with his mushroom teleporter getting used for the war effort. That's what I'm getting from him so far. Tilly's basically the Harry Kim to Burnham's Tom Paris (with a hint of Reg Barclay), and is the only character to call her out on having a traditionally male name. It took 11 episodes before anyone called out Jayne for having a girl's name in Firefly, so Discovery's way ahead here. It seems like Tilly's going to be stuck working on the lower decks for the most part so I hope that means we get to hang out down there more. And Lorca is the sinister man with the plan.
It appears that Lorca's been assigned the task of coming up with outside the box ways to win and he seems to be enjoying the extra freedom the war's given him a little too much, thinking that "universal laws are for lackeys" and considering himself more of a king. Plus his closest friend on board seems to be the asshole head of security, so that's a bit of a red flag too. Other things we've learned about him so far include: he deliberately keeps the lights dimmed because of an eye injury, he likes to make you strain to hear what he's saying, and he never ever sits down. Also, he's eager to get the most notorious criminal in Starfleet onto his crew, partly because he collects dangerous and unusual creatures, partly because he believes she was right. He's a charismatic and confident leader, but personally I think I'd rather serve under Captain Ed Mercer from The Orville. The guy at least knows how to project his voice, and he has Kermit the Frog on his desk instead of a Bond villain
I can see why we needed those prologue episodes set on a typical Starfleet ship; they gave us the baseline for this era, so now we can tell how far the Discovery's straying from it. Shame all the corridors look exactly the same as on the older ship, but then that can't be helped. They're very chunky, metallic, video game hallways, which works well when the crew fly over to the Discovery's identical sister ship and end up inside Doom 3. The USS Glenn's got the spooky lighting, the dangerous portal experiments that got everyone killed, the demon creature roaming the hallways... all they were missing was the super shotgun, though Landry actually fired a phaser beam this episode, so I'm happy. Weirdly the inexplicably phaser-proof 'demon' seems unrelated to the gross distorted corpses lining the corridors. They looked like they'd all been through a horrific transporter accident or a Brannon Braga episode.
But it's Bryan Fuller's episodes I should be comparing this to, as despite his departure as showrunner this is dripping with the dark horror tone he demonstrated a fondness for in stories like The Darkness and the Light, Empok Nor, The Raven and Alice. His is not a friendly comfortable Star Trek. Then again The Original Series wasn't particularly upbeat when it started either, as its third episode (coincidentally a second pilot itself) ended with Kirk murdering his best friend with a rock because he'd gone mad. Funny how this story is also about the captain learning about a horrible disaster that killed another crew, and then deciding to do the exact same thing they did. Lorca doesn't even seem to care what happened over on their sister ship, he just wants his portal tech and his xenomorph.
And it turns out that the secret project Stamets has been working on is... a new way to fly, which was spoiled by the trailers weeks ago. I also knew in advance that it was going to be an FTL drive powered by mushrooms, which has to be the stupidest thing to happen in Star Trek since Tom Paris turned into a lizard after going fast enough to be at every point in the universe simultaneously. Or since Voyager met an evil Starfleet ship powered by shovelling aliens into the warp furnace. Or since the Enterprise D discovered that time, space and thought are connected and managed to end up in a galaxy where imagination becomes reality. Star Trek really hasn't got the best track record when it comes to these kinds of stories.
I was all set to go on a rant about how ridiculous it is, but then they blindsided me with a discussion about how biology is the same thing as physics and now I don't even know what I'd be ranting about anymore. The best response I can manage is 'Wait, what?' It seems like they started with 'the universe resembles a living organism in some way' and then leapt straight to 'therefore we can teleport anywhere with glowing mushroom spores that are in no way related to the glowing energy bugs you saw on the window at the start despite looking like the same thing'. Though I did like how Lorca then teleported Burnham to a bunch of famous Original Series locations (or close enough) to win the audience over. Makes me wonder if the Iconians (from Next Gen's Contagion and DS9's To the Death) were mushroom users too. I'm also wondering how they're going to sweep this technology under the rug to never be mentioned again in later (earlier) series.
In conclusion, I want to go back to the Shenzhou! Everyone was happy there and they did Star Trek things like exploration and banter. Somehow getting the main cast together on the hero ship has only made the series feel less like Star Trek, and closer to Battlestar Galactica or The Expanse... except with less fun and camaraderie. Plus the less theatrical acting in this modern Trek makes the slightly stilted dialogue more off-putting. It was a decent episode though I thought, and even though I wouldn't want to live in this world, I have to admit that it sure is pretty at times. I'm just hoping the next story isn't another claustrophobic bottle episode and we get to see some planets.
Thanks for reading, I always appreciate comments.

MOON TWP. -- Police are looking for a Junction City, Kan., woman who is missing and could be in danger.
Megan Calhoun, 21, hasn't had contact with her family since Aug. 16. Calhoun was involved in a domestic dispute with her boyfriend, Steven Lockhart, who has ties to Moon Township, Moon police said. She was treated at a Kansas hospital for injuries following the dispute, police said.
Police in Junction City believed Calhoun and Lockhart might be in the Moon area based on credit card activity in Kansas, Missouri and Ohio, and some cell phone calls that pinged off towers in the Pittsburgh area.
Police in Junction City have listed Calhoun as missing and endangered based on her treatment for injuries as a result of the domestic incident between her and Lockhart.
Moon police said they have searched for Calhoun but haven't turned up any clues as to her whereabouts. Police also received an unconfirmed report that Calhoun was spotted in the Bridgeville and Scott Township area.
Lockhart, 21, also of Junction City, is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Tuesday before District Judge Mary P. Murray on charges filed against him in May by Moon police. He is charged with impersonating a public servant, giving false identification to law enforcement, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness.
In that case, police said Lockhart, who was on active duty in the Army, went to Colony West Apartments on Brodhead Road and was pounding on doors. When one resident opened the door, Lockhart told the resident he was an undercover Moon police officer investigating a noise complaint, police said.
When the resident asked for identification Lockhart fled, police said. Police found Lockhart in a parking lot outside of the apartment, and he gave them false identification and several stories about why he was at the complex. Lockhart also told police he had recently returned from Iraq and was on medication for post-traumatic stress disorder, though police said they were unable to independently confirm that.
Police said Calhoun is also in the Army, though they are unsure of her and or Lockhart's current statuses with the military.
Calhoun is 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighs 129 pounds and has brown hair and green eyes. Police said she was in a white, 2011 Hyundai Genesis with a Kansas license plate.
Police said she will remain listed as missing and endangered until law enforcement are able to talk to her and determine that she is with Lockhart of her own volition.
Anyone with information about Calhoun is asked to call the Moon police at (412) 262-5000.

The Fallen Archangel(Lucifer)
The name "Lucifer" means "Light Giver" or "Light Bearer".
Light giver referring to the morning or evening star, Venus. Actually the name meant to mean the "Brightest Star".
That later was translated to "Eosphorus" (Greek word for Morning Star) and finally to Lucifer. In mythology he is the son of Aurora (the Roman personification of dawn) and the father Ceyx (Greek). Contrary to popular belief, Satan and Lucifer are two separate fallen angels. His banishment was because of his complete egotism and pure malice -- his sin, pride. This then indicates that Lucifer, not Satan was indeed the first angel to have sinned. Lucifer has been equated to Satan due to the misreading of the passage Isaiah 14:12 that was applied to the King of Babylon --
..."How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations! ...
First concept of this passage is that is was a mention to a man, a king who ruled the city of Babylon on that time.
The second concept is that it was also a reference to Samael, a cosmic being and the Seraphim of Purity, who descended from Heaven to oversee Hell.
The Isaiah's passage, as far as it is related to Lucifer (and in this case it is originally to Samael) is actually a lament when the "Son of the Dawn", the brightest Light from Heaven descend from his former position of Seraphim of Purity to rule also over the Underworld (Sheol) and Hell and oversee the punishment of the iniquitous.
The fact is that Samael descended, **he did not fall**. The lament is that when a being of his height and light had to descend from his original place in Heaven to work for God in Hell, shook the nations! Samael is also the sovereign of the 5th, 6th and 7th Heavens.
The actual name "Devil" was applied to Lucifer when early theologians identified him with the falling star in the passage from Isaiah, hence how Satan and Lucifer started to become interchangeable. We must point out here that writers of that time, did not know of fallen angels yet, through some passages point to the behavior of angels as less than "holly" from time to time throughout the Old Testament.
Lucifer was a "great" Archangel, Prince, and the anointed Cherub (7th Dimension - Cherubim). Ever after his fall he still seems to retain some of his power and ancient title. There are many different variations of stories and legends on Lucifer.
Is Lucifer the opposite of God?
Lucifer cannot be God's opposite because he was created by God.
Lucifer is the opposite of Michael. (the Head Archangel)
Satan's name is believed to originate from the term satan which connotes the idea of opposition and adversary.
Before his fall, it's believed that he was one of the Ruling Prince's of the Celestial Orders (specifically Seraphim, Cherubim, Powers, and Archangels), chief of the Seraphim and Head of the Order of Virtues.
St. Thomas Aquinas had a different important point on this matter, he believed that Satan was a Cherubim more than anything else... More about this subject read in the chapter: Why they Chose to Fall?
Instead of being depicted as a six winged Seraphim, he was shown as having twelve wings. It has also been written by theologians that Satan was created on the 6th day of Creation. Representing more of an abstract entity than an evil one. He was in charge of testing "humans integrity", though God had the power to set limits on what Satan could and could not do.
The traditional theory is that Satan was the angel that betrayed and then led the revolt against God. It boils down to Satan that he was very jealous of the love that God felt towards Adam. Either by transforming into a snake or just using the snake as a tool, Satan tempted Eve with the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. By 3rd century A.D. it was fully established by the Christian philosopher Origenis the association between the snake and Satan. In following centuries, the snake has been believed to be the incarnation of Satan. God then banished Satan from the Heavens... or did he? He banished him to Earth, but the working theory is that Hell is actually located within the Northern boundaries of the 3rd Heaven. Within the 2nd Heaven the fallen angels are imprisoned awaiting final judgment in complete darkness.
So it's here that Satan walks between Heaven and Earth. Primary staying here on Earth, seeking to destroy the lives of human beings and to keep them separated from God. Here is when Satan is now known by his other name, the Devil.

President Trump on Sunday night warned that if Iran continued with its threats to the U.S. the country would suffer unspecified "consequences."
In a tweet, written in all caps and directed explicitly at Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, Trump wrote: "Never, ever threaten the United States again or you will suffer consequences the likes of which few throughout history have ever suffered before. We are no longer a country that will stand for your demented words of violence & death. Be cautious!"
Trump's message comes after Rouhani issued his own warning to the U.S. president earlier on Sunday.
"America should know that peace with Iran is the mother of all peace, and war with Iran is the mother of all wars," Rouhani told a group of diplomats.
The tweet also came shortly after Trump's secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, delivered remarks on Iran at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum on Sunday evening.
During his address, Pompeo compared Iran's leaders to the mafia, while also declaring U.S. support for the people of Iran, especially protesters who have taken to the streets recently in opposition to the current regime.
The U.S. and Iran have been in conflict for decades. The already tense relationship was further strained earlier this year when Trump announced the U.S. would be withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal.
Former President Obama helped spearhead the international agreement, which offered Tehran sanctions relief in exchange for curbs to its nuclear program. Trump had long derided the deal, and fulfilled one of his key campaign promises by announcing his administration was scrapping it.
Nonetheless, the decision drew international condemnation and has led to renewed concerns of a potential conflict between the U.S. and Iran, which has wide influence across the Middle East, including in Syria, where Washington also maintains a military presence.
The Trump administration has included Iran in its controversial travel ban, which was recently upheld by the Supreme Court.

Chapter 086 Problem
Gu Shenwei pondered what the prostitute Shen Yanshi had said and didn't quite understand why she had wanted to meet with a kid but not with these two grown-ups. He suddenly missed the east castle he was familiar with. Killing was both the means and purpose of life there; it was simple and direct.
While Zhong Heng went back to the ya shu at the northern Jade City, Tie Hanfeng led his disciple to the southwall tavern to take a rest. 1 He drank more wine than usual and met with some more people as Gu Shenwei sat side and listened to the news that people were talking about.
Xu Xiaoyi claimed that everyone knew him in southern Jade City and it seemed to be true. People called him by various names such as 'little devil', 'little kid', or 'little bean', but no one knew the whereabouts of him and his sister, Xu Yanwei. The sister and brother duo seemed to have disappeared from the southern Jade City, and no corpses matching their descriptions were found in the wilderness within ten miles.
"It's really weird. In southern Jade City, even two ants wouldn't be able to hide from these people's eyes."
At midnight the amount of informers began to a gradually decrease. Tie Hanfeng tightly gripped his wine cup as he fell more and more confused.
"Perhaps they hid in the northern Jade City." Gu Shenwei thought. To him, that was the only possible explanation.
"That thought had long ago crossed my mind, but those two, a thief and a prostitute, weren't even qualified to enter the northern Jade city. Also we checked the records at all of the city gates, and there were no records of people with unknown origins entering the northern Jade City."
Gu Shenwei had personally seen the guards of the northern Jade City in action, as they constantly recorded the names of those who entered and left and took custody of their weapons. Even when faced with the professional killers of Golden Roc Castle, there were no exceptions. It would indeed be difficult for a pair of siblings to sneak in.
"Unless they were burnt to ashes, they will be found."
Tie Hanfeng gulped down a mouthful of wine as he finished those last words and fell asleep with his head leaning against the seat. He never slept in bed, at least Gu Shenwei had never seen him to do so..
Gu Shenwei sat quietly, looking at the drinkers drunkenly staggering around, leaving or falling drowsily as he counted the time in his mind. There were no night watchmen inside southern Jade City. He felt that it was around the fourth night period as he stood up.
"What's up?" Tie Hanfeng's snoring sound ceased and he asked a question with his eyes closed.
"I am going out for some air."
Gu Shenwei walked out of the tavern, made a circle and entered the city from another gap in the wall. He randomly walked across several streets and rushed towards the retention alley after making sure no one was following him.
The guests that had came for the wine had gone away like tidal waves; the guests that came for sex had fulfilled their lust. They all walked out of the boundless gentle towns. Some of them left proud and satisfied, others slipped away mysteriously. All of them wanted to reach home before dawn so that, maybe they could find an excuse to deal with the blame at home.
Gu Shenwei tried to touch the hilt of the sabre, but his hand remained empty as his sabre no longer existed by his waist, leaving him with only a deep feeling of restlessness.
After another wave of guests had left, the retention alley finally became quiet, albeit temporarily. The lights in the small houses were turned off one by one until eventually there were only a few guests that were 'kept' behind.
Gu Shenwei stood away from the houses and leaned against the wall of a corner, observing both Xu Yanwei and Shen Yanshi's small houses. Xu Yanwei's small house had no lights in either the inside and outside. The latter had a lantern lighting the front door but the inside was dark as well.
About a quarter of an hour later, Gu Shenwei crouched and quickly ran to the door of Shen Yanshi's house. The door was unlatched, as if it was waiting for his arrival.
He quietly pushed the door open and went inside. The layout of the house was almost the same as the house on the opposite side. He directly went to the back-door, pushed it to be unlatched and then went softly upstairs.
There were no servants around because they were probably already sent away.
The door of the bedroom was also unlatched. Gu Shenwei listened for a while and heard that there were no sounds of breathing inside.
Gu Shenwei pushed the door open just a crack. He slipped inside and immediately saw two corpses. He walked over quietly and bent to check. They were Shen Yanshi and an old server. One of them was cut in the abdomen, the other in the neck.
The eyes of the dead people were wide open, bigger than when they were alive. The corpses' eyes shimmered and gave off a surreal feeling, but it only made Gu Shenwei's senses sharper and he felt a chill passing through the spine from his neck.
He turned around and saw a man sitting in the corner. Like a dead man, he didn't have any breath, but he was certainly alive.
"I was wondering if the murderer was going to come back or not." The man sitting in the corner said.
"Perhaps the murderer was waiting for a scapegoat."
Gu Shenwei abandoned the intention to run away because the two knew each other. He just didn't expect the other side to be an expert.
"Maybe the murderer was waiting for a good show."
Zhong Heng stood up and walked to the corpses, "Another masterpiece of the Golden Roc Castle's narrow sabre. Even the sabresmanship is alike."
"It's not alike."
"The Golden Roc Sabresmanship is quicker. Sabre in and sabre out. The attack happens in just a moment, so the cut will be very small. It is even smaller than the width of the narrow sabre. Shen Yanshi's cut was caused by the narrow sabre, but the murderer made it by stabbing slowly and waited for awhile before pulling the sabre out. Thus the cut was a bit bigger. That old woman's wound isn't deep because she died from losing too much blood. It does not match the style of killing with one cut in which the Golden Roc Sabresmanship is renowned for."
Gu Shenwei himself, felt surprised as he finished speaking. He had seen countless corpses at east castle and never paid special attention to the wound, but to him the difference was so obvious.
"You're right."
Zhong Heng squatted, and he even touched the wounds on the two corpses for a while, "The murderer was closer to her when he killed her. He probably held her with one hand and gripped a sabre to stab with another hand. When he killed that old woman, the murderer used the flat cut sabresmanship he wasn't good at."
"You believe me?"
This was the second time Gu Shenwei asked the same question from a different person.
"I'm not entirely sure. It's difficult to change the pace of sabresmanship from slow to fast, but it is easy to change from fast to slow, and you even found the murderer's flaw in such a short time."
"What do you want?"
Zhong Heng retreated back to the corner, sat on the soft chair and thought quietly for a while, "I'm thinking about how to solve the problem."
"I thought you wanted to find the real murderer." Gu Shenwei said with irony.
"I just want to solve the problem."
"I'm your problem, do you want to solve it now?"
"No. Golden Roc Castle gave you three days, and I won't take even a second away."
Gu Shenwei wished that he could have had a sabre with him. His desire to touch one was so strong that his throat felt dry and itchy.
The two kept silent for a while before Zhong Heng suddenly said, "Do you understand me?"
"I'm not good at guessing."
The man in the corner let out a kind smile, "The truth is completely different from the 'problem'. For example, someone lost a hundred liang silver in the room. The one seeking the truth wants to know if the silver existed or not, whether it was lost or not, and who was the thief. The one trying to solve the problem wants to create hundred liang to satisfy everyone. As for where the silver comes from or who will provide it, those are all trivial matters."
Zhong Heng's words were as abstract as Tie Hanfeng's words, that they were not coming here to find the real murderer but to prove that the third person was not killed by him. Gu Shenwei seemed to understand but he always felt something was wrong with it.
"For this matter, what's the problem you want to solve?"
"The problem I want to solve is to catch the real murderer."
Gu Shenwei was stunned for a bit, but then realized that Zhong Heng was making fun of him, which annoyed him. Why can't everybody say it more clearly? Why always talk ambiguously in a roundabout way? He couldn't help but think again that the killer's world at east castle was so simple that even Xue Niang appeared to be sincere and frank now.
The two men separated by corpses spoke in riddles, no one asked the other why he came to the crime scene.
Zhong Heng stood up again when the sky was going to be bright. This time he decided to leave, "I want to ask around, how about you?"
"I too want to ask around."
The five prostitutes who previously belonged to Big Belly Buddha all lived nearby. Three on the north side of the street, two on the south side, one missing, and one dead. The role Zhong Heng played was a policeman and an announcer of the death.
The first prostitute who heard the news sat up on the bed and said dreamingly, "Dead, another one died. A person is like a fallen flower, but there's no flowing water to float on. A handful of yellow soil is enough for burying a body. Die, all of you go die." Then she fell and slept again.
The second prostitute had a guest sleeping on the floor, so she accepted the inquiry downstairs, "I would say that she was seeking death for herself. For this kind of business, it's good enough to focus on earning money. One should not be ambitious, she was too ambitious, like that missing Xu Yanwei. Aren't you investigating who killed prince Ju? It's really a coincidence as those two bitches were that prince's favourite. Those two were such bitter rivals that I thought the sister and brother of the Xu family were killed by Shen Yanshi."
"But you didn't say it yesterday."
"Yesterday? My lord, I also have my own 'prince' to serve, my heart is not here. As for that prince Ju, he was not a good guest. Although I'm a bitch and I should not say behind the guest's back, he was not my guest so I can say it, am I right?"
"Right, go ahead."
"He laid his hands too hard on them. Only that Big Daddy Xu would like to send his own daughter to be scourged by him, and also that Shen Yanshi, she would do anything for money. If it were me, even a gold or silver mountain piled in front of me I would not be enough for me to serve him …"
The third prostitute already got the news in advance from nowhere and ignited two pieces of incense for the sister, "Everyone wants to squeeze into the northern Jade City but enters the wilderness in the end. Sister Yanshi didn't serve any guests yesterday because she closed the door at a very early time, saying that she was too tired and wanted to take a rest. Alas, you don't care about who killed her and only want to know something about the prince. I have nothing to say. The ones who want to kill him could fill up the whole retention alley."
Gu Shenwei wanted to find the woman servant who followed Xu Yanwei around, but it was said that she was sent away in advance. The prostitute knew nothing about it, but an old woman reminded him, "Go ask around Madam Xiao's place, madam always kindly treats the old and the weak. She may have accepted old woman Li."
Gu Shenwei returned to the cold, empty street before he felt a lump in his throat and he would regret if he didn't say anything, blurting out, "That sister and brother pair, are they really Big Belly Buddha's own daughter and son?"
"Hmm, that explains why they asked for your help to kill him. Nobody is surprised as this would've happened sooner or later."
Gu Shenwei braced against the wall and vomited. Then he stood up and asked, "Everybody knows what he did?"
"This is the Jade City. What you can think of and can't think of all happens here. You'll get used to it gradually."
Zhong Heng's tone was annoyingly calm, but Gu Shenwei still forced himself to calm down. He didn't come here to save the world and no one could save the world. This world will be devastated by itself, he thought.
Along the whole retention alley, Xiao Fengchai's house was the largest and the most luxurious. In fact, she alone had three houses. She connected the three and made them into one.
Madam Xiao was taking a rest and no one was allowed to disturb her. The old woman who used to serve Xu Yanwei was indeed here, but she couldn't provide any relevant information. Ju Gaotai was Xu Yanwei's regular guest, but he was not the only guest. She was sent away a day before what had happened, so she didn't know if Xu Yanwei had a guest or not at that night. She also didn't know who left a thousand liang silver.
"A thousand liang silver? This old woman has never seen such a generous guest before."
The two was about to leave before the old woman Li recalled something, "Not long ago, a person called Mi Gongzi visited frequently. He seemed to be really rich. If there were anyone who would spend a thousand liang silver, it must be him."
Mi Gongzi always came alone. He either wore a long robe or a cloak, acting secretively. Except for Xu Yanwei, no one has ever seen his true face. The retention alley always had this type of guest so it was not too strange.
As Gu Shenwei thought about this 'Mi Gongzi', a picture formed in his heart.

Besan - 1 cup
Grated Coconut - 1 1/2 cups
Milk - 1 cup
Sugar - 2 cups
Ghee - 4 tablespoons
Cardamom powder - 1/2 tsp
Cashews roasted in ghee - a few to garnish
1. Take a thick-bottomed vessel and boil the milk.
2. Meanwhile roast the besan in a tablespoon of ghee till nice flavor comes out and keep aside.
3. Add the grated coconut to it and reduce the heat to medium. Keep stirring till no moisture is left.
4. Add sugar to it. Sugar turns into thick syrup. Keep stirring for few minutes. Add cardamom powder.
5. Add besan slowly, keep stirring so no lumps are formed. Reduce the heat to medium-low and keep stirring.
6. Add the remaining ghee slowly while keep stirring continuously.
7. When it starts leaving the sides of the pan and moves as a mass along with the stirring ladle, it is done.
8. Transfer to a greased pan and cut into desired shape when warm.
9. Garnish with the roasted cashews.
Instead of cutting burfi into regular diamonds or cubes, I tried a little creatively. I tried setting a batch in colorful cup-cake liners and another batch as diyas :-)

An accountability court on Saturday deferred indictment of former information minister Sharjeel Memon and other accused in a case pertaining to the corruption of Rs5.76 billion in the provincial information department. As the court resumed hearing into the graft reference, police produced Memon and other suspects before it.
At the outset, the PPP leader's lawyer filed an application seeking an inquiry into what he described illegal arrest of his client and other accused at the hands of National Accountability Bureau (NAB) officials. He said a NAB team arrested Memon and other suspects from the premises of the Sindh High Court, which is tantamount to disrespecting courts. He, therefore, pleaded with the judge to direct the NAB authorities to carry out an inquiry into their 'illegal' arrest.
On which, the judge remarked how trial will proceed if applications are filed time and again. The applications are delaying the trial, he observed. He issued notice to the parties concerned to file their response to the application of Sharjeel Memon. Meanwhile, suspect Riaz Munir through his counsel filed an application seeking exemption from personal appearance owing to his ill-health.
On October 23, Memon was taken into custody along with other suspects from outside the SHC main building after the court revoked their interim bail. Memon is also facing another case which pertained to his alleged role in getting the state land allotted and adjusted in 43 Dehs at throwaway price for a property developer, depriving the public exchequer of billions of rupees in revenue.
Sharjeel Memon, who had returned to Pakistan in March this year after his two-year-long self-imposed exile, is facing several charges of misappropriation and corruption.A reference filed against him related to the alleged award of government advertisements at exorbitant rates, causing loss of more than Rs five billion to the national exchequer.

I know Impossible Project, (now Polaroid), is making film for vintage Polaroid cameras, but Fuji's Instax is kind of the baby Polaroid. Try scanning these and you have something quite impressive. Certainly a new artistic outlet.
The film comes in two sizes, but I'm going to talk about the 'smaller',….mostly because I like the camera it goes in. It's also Fuji's most expensive in that series, but for good reason. (still cheap)
Instax – 2 Sizes
I'm an avid film photographer and though I'm primarily found shooting with my high-end interchangeable lens camera or the nice point-and-shoot I carry around for casual use,(film, of course),there's something magical about instant cameras. Perhaps it's that you're shooting on actual film, or maybe it's that every shot you take is a one-of-a-kind physical artifact (which is special in today's world of Instagram and Facebook where photos are a dime a dozen.) All I know for sure is that they are incredibly fun to use and peoples' eyes light up when you pull one of these out at a party.
I've used several other Instax models, from the wide-format 210 and 300 to the previous highest-end model, the Mini 50S. I've got to say that the Mini 90 blows the others away in every regard. Except the 300s image size. I wish they made a 300 that looked like the Neo 90. In 35mm terms, the 300 is about a 35mm lens. Not really that wide. I've never seen shots from an Instax come out so consistently vibrant, crisp and in focus until I tried this model. I haven't even gotten around to experimenting with the new shooting modes yet and I'm still getting far better results than I got with the 50S, and believe me I've shot a lot of pictures with that model.
Not Looking Like a Toy
The Mini 90 is by far the nicest-looking Instax camera and also the nicest instant camera available on the market today. The body is mostly made of plastic. But it's high-quality and certainly doesn't look cheap (it's rather stylish and retro) and feels good and solid in the hands. Ergonomically it's much better than the 50S, with the shutter release in a much better place. The rechargeable battery is a godsend; no strange disc batteries to replace and no heavy AAs to weigh it down. It's definitely on the high-end of price. (about $139) Especially compared to the other models. But given the relatively high cost of instant film, having a camera that consistently gets the shot you want rather than ones you need to retake is worth every penny.
A Very Good Idea
Recommended whole-heartedly, not just to photographers but to anyone who wants to bring a little bit of magic into their lives. Of course, you can buy an old Polaroid off of Ebay, and get your film from Impossible, (see link), but as small as the images are, for casual use and the party animal in you,this is the way to go. Good job Fuji! ( https://www.the-impossible-project.com/ )

Camair reports losses
Cameroon Airlines (Camair) has posted loses of over CAF 34 billion (approx. US$60 million) between 2012-2014. Figure released in the airline's recovery plan show losses were CAF13 billion in 2012, a little more than CFA4 billion in 2013 and CFA 17 billion in 2014. These figures are reported to have worsened in 2015 and are expected to do so for 2016. The airline has been hit by high fuel costs during that time as well as very high operating costs exceeding revenues.
The Cameroon Concord newspaper is reporting that the airline is struggling to maintain the minimum service on its fleet, with five aircraft currently on the ground awaiting maintenance.
A restructuring plan advises the airline to drive new revenue through the introduction of freight services, pilot training centres and develop in-house maintenance services.

China's excess crude rises to 90 million barrels in 2014
China's crude supplies exceeded demand by around 90 million barrels in 2014, up almost 40 per cent over the year before, Reuters calculations using official import and output data show, as the world's largest energy consumer looks to fill its strategic reserves amid low oil prices.
China is secretive about its strategic petroleum reserves (SPR), saying for the first time in November that it was holding 91 million barrels in the first of three phases.
Estimates put China's reserves at close to 30 days worth of imports, far ahead of the official schedule showing 15 days, but still below the OECD-standard 90 days China is aiming for.
December oil imports surpassed 7 million barrels a day, and domestic production was the highest since at least 1999, although record-high December crude runs also consumed more than had been expected.
Commercial inventories also shrank by an estimated 1.4 million tonnes in December, bolstering excess stockpiles. Estimates are based on percentage changes published by the official News Agency.
The Reuters calculations for excess stockpiles do not take into account the small amount of crude that is directly burned as fuel at oil fields or power stations or that is used by small, unreported "teapot" refineries.

Hello folks,
I apologize for not updating more regularly here on Thoughtful Riot, but there has been a lot going on. I started a new podcast called Panel Riot, which you can find over at PanelRiot.com and @PanelRiot. It's all about my love of Comic Books and Comic Book related activities. It's also a Tumblr, which makes it easy for me to update with content on a regular basis. I encourage you to check it out because it's some of the most personally fulfilling creative work I've done since Monster Haiku.
I've also started up a Tumblr under the Thoughtful Riot banner. I've been toying with the idea of making that the main Thoughtful Riot page, but I'm not really posting any original content over there so, time will tell. That being said, it's a bunch of random fun stuff. Go and check it out!
I am still co-hosting The Wrestling Mayhem Show every week, which is a pure pleasure. We just had our 450th episode which is nothing short of bonkers. I've found that starting a second podcast has somehow rejuvenated my work on the first one. I'm having more fun than ever working with Sorg and the gang and I can't wait to see what happens in 2015. We have kicked around a few ideas for format changes already which has me very excited.
Aside from all that I am hoping to do some more writing on here. Maybe update with more original content along the lines of short stories, journal entries about the podcasts and some photography. Either way, I hope to stretch a little more creativly in 2015, and I hope that youll stretch with me.
Happy New Year everyone!

"Nerves are good. They show it matters!"
With Josie's words ringing in my ears, I pressed my watch 'start' and set off. I'd not gone out for a PB for ages, and the fear was as real as ever, bubbling away inside me.
The first mile was congested, and whilst I tried to keep calm and not dart around, I couldn't help but get a bit panicked at how off pace I thought I was getting. I tried not to look at my watch at all and keep at a pace I thought might be 7.11 minute miles. Finally the group started thin out, and I started to settle in and take in the route without feeling stressed. We cruised though the city, and out into the countryside, past horses and people cheering out of their windows. The volunteers and the crowds were great, especially given the rubbish weather for pretty much the entire race.
I tried to make sure I kept in a group that felt like they were running roughly the same pace as me, and guessed most people around me were aiming to dip under 1 hour 35. As I got more settled and the rain eased off, I started to get a bit competitive, and tried to pick of people in front of me. As the miles ticked into double figures, I tried and failed to do the maths of what time I was going to come in at to take my mind off my legs beginning to tire and my brain drift into what I was going to eat in the pub.
With 5K to go, I started to really want to give up and I had to block out everything and just run. I had tried for the whole race not to look at my watch and run on feel, and things were starting to feel bad, but I could also feel I was on to a good time. But at the last hurdle things nearly fell apart: my mantra for the race had been 'run the mile your in' – which for mile 12 was 'run into all the headwind and up the only hill and hold on as best you can', and it seemed to go on forever. Finally, the finish came into view and off we all went to power on through the finish. My 'kick' is pretty useless, and so it always feels like I'm going the wrong way on a conveyor belt, but I was super pleased to finally cross the line and just. stop. running.
I managed to take 2 minutes off last year's Cambridge time, and finished in 1:34:16, which I'm delighted with. I still think I've got fuel in the tank for faster too, so I'll have to look for a summer race to take it on again.
This year's race in Cambridge felt much bigger than in 2016, and I wasn't massively impressed with the organisation given the increase in numbers and probably won't be back until they've ironed some things out… Thanks for the PB though!
