The incredible and growing amount of information available nowadays presents us with specific challenges we need to overcome first, if we want to be able to understand, foresee, warn about, and finally adequately answer accumulating dangers, threats, risks or more broadly changes and uncertainties. Our information age is indeed characterised by what Martin Hilbert called the "global information explosion" ("Digital Technology & Social Change" University of California Course, 2015), when we constantly face "information overload" (among many others, Bertram Gross, The Managing of Organizations, 1964; Alvin Toffler, Future Shock, 1970; also Stanley Milgram, "The experience of living in cities", Science, 167, 1461-1468, 1970).
Google estimated in 2010 that 129,864,880 books had then been published (Leonid Taycher, "Books of the world, stand up and be counted! All 129,864,880 of you." 5 Aug 2010). Wikipedia estimates that "approximately 2,200,000" books were published each year across the world. Meanwhile, it is almost frightening to look live at the constantly growing number of internet website: 1,080,387,230+ on 15 Sept 2016 (internet live stats).
Those are general figures, but they are also representative of what we must face when we work on a specific topic, because we have to deal with all the relevant knowledge and understanding accumulated. To this we must, most of the time, add current unfolding events and facts. For example, if one wants to start working on an issue related to Libya, a simple google search on the word Libya returns 224,000,000 results. A larger theme, such as energy, returns 1,340,000,000 results.
If we take already filtered information, such as the bibliography of a PhD thesis, we nonetheless could get a 14 pages list of scholarly books and articles (approximately 336 texts) or more and 49 pages of references to archival material (corresponding approximately to 4/5 large storage boxes of documents and 12 CD-Rom of digitalized text documents – the examples are from my PhD, as, de facto, I knew the quantities hidden behind the bibliographical references). A "simple" reading list for one topic for a Master or PhD course often covers at least ten pages (e.g. Princeton, International Relations 2007, approx. 200 books and articles).
This is a lot to read, most often in an always too short amount of time. And we are only focusing here on written media, when time must also be made for other media such as videos, audio media, and social network exchanges.
How can we thus face this challenge, and read efficiently and usefully for our purpose, and more generally for analysis and understanding of political, geopolitical, and international relations' issues.* We shall first stress that the aim is understanding and that accumulation of knowledge is only a means to this end. We shall then focus on purposeful reading of classically written academic and scientific texts (including articles, books, reports, monographs etc.), and see why and how their structure are both crucial and helpful, stressing very practical ways to read. We shall then turn to other type of written texts, namely newspaper articles and primary materials (speeches, official documents, etc) and finally stress a hard way to sort through useful or not documents.**
The aim is quality understanding not accumulation of quantity of knowledge
In our field – and in many related others – the first and absolutely crucial idea to keep in mind is that, initially, what we seek to achieve is NOT to accumulate a large quantity of knowledge, but to develop a proper understanding of a topic, question or issue, however loosely defined it may be before you start reading anything.
Knowledge is of course fundamental, but it is a means to an end. Knowledge will thus be a building block for the construction of your understanding.
Keeping this idea in mind will help you overcoming – at least partly – anxiety about what you do not know. What must matter to you is to know enough to develop a good understanding of the topic you are studying, as well as, in the case of anticipation, to allow you thinking out of the box.
We are not trying to hoard knowledge, nor do we aim at showing off how knowledgable we are. We read to understand at best something (and hopefully, also, meanwhile, we enjoy it).
Even if you were working in tactical intelligence to prevent terrorist attacks, for example, where at one stage you would need to know – ideally – everything to make sure you will not miss an attack that is being prepared, before to reach this step – which fundamentally belongs to the monitoring and surveillance phases (see Helene Lavoix, "Horizon Scanning and Monitoring For Anticipation: Definition and Practice", RTAS, 22 June 2012) – you would first need to develop an understanding of the terrorists' strategies, their beliefs, their motivations, previous modes of operations, etc… It is this initial fundamental phase related to understanding that is our primary concern here. Moreover, even during the monitoring and surveillance phase, you would also need to focus your reading on these useful pieces of information relevant to your task, i.e. preventing a terrorist attack. Thus, even in that case, quality understanding of information primes over blind quantity accumulation and reading still matters.
Reading classically scholarly written documents
This may come as a surprise to you, but, to read usefully and efficiently, we only relatively rarely read documents, be it books, reports, articles, memos or even short briefs, from A to Z. Most of the time, the pleasure of reading all the words of a written document is only reserved for leisure and novels, poetry, etc. In a work environment, reading every word is impossible – and potentially not very useful either. This may not be very nice for the author, who has spent months and sometimes years researching and writing, but this is the way it is, and the only way forward considering the breadth of accumulated knowledge. And, do not worry, most authors also do the same; they skim through texts for their own purpose.
However, purposeful reading is only possible because we can rely on a normative typical structure for scholarly written work, which reflects millennia of scholarly work and grounds the quality of written documents. It is this classical structure or more exactly what we assume is implied by and contained within it that allows speeding reading by taking in the gist of a book or article, or a focus on very specific points contained in the text, which may be of particular interest to the specific issue or problem we try to understand.
Should this structure not be respected, or not entail what we assume is behind it, purposeful reading and speeding reading would become much more difficult, or slower, if not impossible. As a result, we shall read texts with different origins and structures in a different way, as we shall see very practically below.

* We shall not address here technologically-based supports (besides simple searches), which are in themselves an entire topic and most of the time, anyway, demand some amount of reading to be properly implemented. Furthermore analysts want, like and need to keep a mastery of their subject matter, thus knowing how to read remains a crucial skill.
**The skills transmitted in this article were first taught to me by my lecturers at university and then resulted from more than twenty years of practice in research as well as analysis.

Kenwood Travel
Even I find it so convenient to look at possible hotels to stay in, contact them and inquire. I do not have to call any hotels through long distance in order to inquire or book. Plus there was also the issue of payments and advanced bookings. One had to go to travel agencies in order for your planned vacation to happen.
Things are different now. Mostly everything is available online. The Internet is also home to many online travel booking companies. That is a known fact. But some are scams so it is highly important that you book from reputable sites.
Yes, there are many online travel booking sites and one of those that I like is Kenwood Travel. They offer quite a lot of affordable worldwide luxury package holidays, tailor made holidays, weddings, honeymoons or flights and even fly drives. Click here for amazing offers from Kenwood Travel on Orlando holidays.
They are a fully bonded, direct sell tour operator with more than 3 decades of experience. 3 years! That says quite a lot on where they stand as a company and their services. If past clients were not satisfied with their services, they would not last long.
What makes Kenwood Travel so cheap is the fact that they themselves contract directly with the airlines and hotels to ensure there is no middleman taking a commission on your holiday. This means more savings on your end.
From destinations around the globe like the USA, Caribbean, Middle East, Far East, Indian Ocean and Australia, there are a variety of holiday destinations to choose from. Take your pick, look at the list, visual photos, information, rates and compare them to see which one piques your interest the most.
Then book to your heart's content and enjoy your planned vacation. Booking is also simple too. You will not have a hard time booking for one.
If you do not see any place that you would like to go to in their site, you can email or give them a call. They are pretty flexible as they can make any holiday to your specification in just about anywhere.
Now that is what I call a complete travel offering!
Currently, I am looking to go on a holiday to Orlando. I really can't wait to visit Disney World in Orlando. It is one of the best places to go to.

"I like to think of fire held in a man's hand. Fire, a dangerous force, tamed at his fingertips. I often wonder about the hours when a man sits alone, watching the smoke of a cigarette, thinking. I wonder what great things have come from such hours. When a man thinks, there is a spot of fire alive in his mind–and it is proper that he should have the burning point of a cigarette as his one expression."
~ Ayn Rand – Atlas Shrugged
I know the evils of cigarettes, all too well. I am a smoker, and have a love/hate relationship with the whole thing. I've tried patches, pills, hypnosis and the latest tool, the e-cig to combat my addiction with varied levels of success. I just know, somewhere deep in my soul, I will always smoke, if only just a little. I aspire to smoke like the author in Misery. Stephen King developed this unforgettable character, Paul Sheldon. The character allowed himself the pleasure of one smoke upon completing a novel. It's a goal to work toward, and as I sit here and think about it, I'm glad I write short and flash fiction;-)
For me, there is nothing better than sitting back, contemplating the world with a smoke between my fingers. The rhythmic inhale and exhale like some sort of meditation exercise. I think of the Ayn Rand quote above, and revel in the fact that I have the dangerous force tamed between my fingers. That the point of light that glows as I take a drag matches the glow of thought in my mind. So romantical.
Then I consider some of the 'why's' of my addiction. I know it's not just the nicotine. I can replace the nicotine in several ways. I still crave the cigarette. Part of it is mental, the desire to quit, but I think a bigger part of it is the additives and chemicals included in every puff. And that makes my justice bone jump erratically.
When I went to write this blog post, I typed in the title to see what other people were talking about around this topic. I found David Sley, founder of an all-natural, quality smoke Hestia had plenty to say in his article with the same title:
"I learned that over 95% off all cigarette brands are just imprints of four multi-national conglomerates known as "Big Tobacco." I learned that these companies use a host of chemicals and burn-accelerants on their tobacco, and even dice up the stalk and add it to their cigarettes, to save a few cents. I learned that the government requires them to use fire-safe paper to counteract these burn accelerants. Chemicals to neutralize chemicals! And this applies to "all natural additive-free" cigarettes like Big Tobacco's Natural American Spirits, too."
Two thumbs up and a peace sign out to this guy. His ire was so jostled he started his own company making quality smokes with no additives and quality tobacco. I will definitely give them a whirl.
David's talk about the additives in smokes made me a bit more curious. What level of documentation is there on these additives? What do we know? More google and found this report by the US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health. This report's abstract makes me seriously scratch my head:
"Our findings indicated that more than 100 of 599 documented cigarette additives have pharmacological actions that camouflage the odor of environmental tobacco smoke emitted from cigarettes, enhance or maintain nicotine delivery, could increase the addictiveness of cigarettes, and mask symptoms and illnesses associated with smoking behaviors."
What? And this is legal? I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. I'm beginning to think the government has it's own plan for population control. Between the GMO's in our food sources and the lack of regulation for companies like Monsanto, to this knowledge; my conspiracy theory may hold water! I mean really, there is SH!$&T in our smokes that contributes to our addiction, and I guess that is just okedoke.
Now I know, all of it could be avoided if people just didn't smoke. The anti-smoking campaigns in America have been highly successful. Adult smoking has decreased big time. John Oliver reported in his segment on the Tobacco industry that "Adult smoking rates have fallen from about 43% in 1965, to about 18% today. He then goes on to show how, in turn, 'Big Tobacco' has reached it's tentacles into other parts of the world where there is no education about the dangers, and no regulation what so ever to make up for their US losses.
So what do I do? Get mad at 'Big Tobacco'? Watch out Phillip Morris, Ann Case is pissed off about what you are doing to her smokes. I mean really. The best thing I could do is quit. The second best is to boycott their products and go to a more natural product. Consider that DONE.
What do you think? Smokers and non-smokers alike?

My mom is a phenomenal pool (billiards) player and has been my entire life. Her team always wins first in their local league and up until this year, for the past 25 years, they spent 10+ days every May at the VNEA International Pool Championships in Las Vegas. There is a massive collection of trophies presented in our living room and even more trophies put away in storage. I grew up with a beautiful well-crafted regulation sized pool table in my basement. I've attended numerous tournaments (including a couple of the ones in Vegas) and watched many matches on TV.
So with my lineage and access you would assume that i was a shark myself. Well, that's not quite the case, just ask my mother and she'll tell you. In high school I became a passable player, mainly because playing pool in the basement was the easiest way for me and my friends to sneak beers without suspicion. These days playing pool on the Wii is much more my speed. That said, every time I play I have so much fun; there might be a part of my ma in me afterall. This is why this is on the list: whenever I play, I somehow feel like I'm honoring part of what will be my mother's legacy.
We actually spontaneously went to play pool on a night we were celebrating my birthday. Four of us (Hubby, M, M's boyfriend M2, and myself) were grilling ribs and having an outdoor picnic and after it was over we decided we'd go to a nearby bowling alley/bar/pool hall, have a couple beers, sing karaoke, and play a game or two of pool. M and I played two games, and it completely reminded me of all the times we had played in high school. Especially since we both won a game, which still puts our all-time record at a tie. Overall, it was a ton of fun and a reminder that it's something I want to do more often.

Google+ takes the best from Facebook and Twitter
So yesterday we wrote an article up about Google+ and explain some of the features in it, and how it takes from Facebook and Twitter. Today we found an excellent chart which actually shows you which features they took from Facebook and Twitter, and it's really eyeopening to see how they've combined the best of both worlds.
Have a look at the chart below and see for yourself:
The red checkmark simply shows which Social Networking site (Facebook or Twitter) Google+ has taken the most from. As you can clearly see, since Facebook is the bigger and more established site, Google+ takes 10 features from Facebook as compared to 7 from twitter. Furthermore, you can see G+ adds a few features that either Facebook doesn't have, nor Twitter.
Still we're quite impressed with Google+ and we feel that this is only the start for Google in their third attempt at the social networking scene, and for once they're doing well (10 million members well), we just hope that they don't run into various problems like Facebook and Twitter have in the past.

I was born in 1914 so I cannot remember much before 1917 when my Father was invalided home from France suffering from severe phlebitis as a result of three years in the wet trenches. There were four of us children then, my elder sister Pamela, elder brother Clement, the baby Tristram born 1917, and myself. Later two more sisters arrived in 1919 and 1924. I had one of the happiest childhoods possible. We lived on the top storey at Braunstone Hall - The Nursery Wing. - Day nursery, night nursery and other rooms. Our lives were ordered by our very dear Nanny Mrs Hattersley she was helped by the nursery maid whom Nanny always called Bessie (when the maids changed Nanny said she couldn't be bothered to learn new names.)
Downstairs there was a schoolroom presided over by our Governess Miss Lease, we started a few hourly lessons at about five years old then as time went on we left the Nursery entirely for the schoolroom; my brothers were there until they left for their boarding school at the age of eight and a half years. Miss Lease had been my Mother's Governess and had educated her and her sister's. We never had anyone else and were incredibly fortunate to have two such loving, patient and lovable women to guide us in our youth. As children our lives were spent either in the Nursery or Schoolroom. When small we were dressed in a silk or velvet dresses after tea and were sent down to the drawing room from 5:15pm to 6:15pm to see our parents - it was the only time in the day that we were ever allowed to go down the front stairs. Our parents of course did come up to the Nursery, I well remember my Father coming up to read Grimm's Fairy Tales to us.
We always wore pinafores when we went into the garden - self coloured material with coloured braid round neck and pockets. Nanny used to open the nursery window and blow hard on a loud whistle when she wanted us to come inside. We had staff of about 14 inside Butler, footman, parlour maid, cook, kitchen maid, scullery maid, head housemaid, Housekeeper, still room maid and pantry boy. At Braunstone Hall the servant's quarters were quite separate from the main house, it was another building built around a square Court Yard connected to our house by a long passage with a green baize doors, I think it was a satisfactory arrangement, but I always pitied the footman or housemaid who had to bring our meals to the Nursery up 76 steep winding stone stairs. Once a very pretty maid called Lizzie stumbled and the huge black tin tray skated down the stairs with all the food and crockery. My Mother heard the crash and arrived on the scene and said "Oh Lizzie" and Lizzie; cap awry on her pretty dark hair, sat back on her heals and said, "These things are sent to twy us".
Lizzie could not pronounce her R's. I seem to remember much more extremes in temperatures then - very cold winters with snow and ice, and very hot summers. When the big pond froze over people came out from Leicester and nearby and skated. We used to play in a square tank, (now in my possession) and I can remember my brother turning the hose on a Dr Blakesby and soaking him through! He came instead of our dear family doctor Dr Spriggs during the War and Clement did not like him. We were taken for walks, holding on to the pram with the latest baby in, down Leg O' mutton Hill to Western Park, or in the opposite direction along the Hinckley Road to Hangman's Copse to where the road went off to Kirby Muxloe. Later we rode our ponies down Coal Pit Lane (Braunstone Lane) to Aylestone, which was then a village - on both sides there was nothing but fields, trees and hedges. The Old Hall was of course still there where my Ancestors lived from about 1650 until Braunstone Hall was built in 1776.
When I was young Mrs Johnson lived there and was my Fathers oldest tenant, and I know she lived until she was well over 100 years old - she was a great character as was her nephew Harry Porter who farmed the land. I remember once with my brother Clement we called in to ask if she would lend us 6d to visit the village shop kept by Lena Martin, and she had an enormous canvas bag brought to her that must have contained pounds and pounds. At last she unearthed a sixpence with injunctions to my brother not to forget his debt!! We used to go out in the Governess Cart drawn by a pony - we were taught to ride by William Andrews the groom - a man we all loved. When my Mother had a new baby Mrs Andrews always followed suit and the score ended up equal at six each! One of my earliest recollections is my Grandmother's coach - it was there in the coach house - very dark navy blue - upholstered in the same colour and smelling very fusty. I never knew what happened to it. Above the coach house or garage as it became there was a loft in which onions were put to dry and in a corner of this loft my Father discovered (before I was born) a very beautiful old 18th century Sedan Chair that had been shoved away when they went out of fashion.
I still have this chair and treasure it greatly. We always walked to Church on Sunday mornings with our parents - down the cinder path or Church Walk and through the shrubbery over a little wooden bridge that crossed the stream and up Church Field. In those days our family had it's own "Horse Box" (pew up near the old alter). It had high wooden walls and only the clergymen and choir (when we stood up) could see us. When we were very small we were given religious books with coloured pictures to keep us quiet during the sermon! One of our greatest treats was to be allowed to go to Evensong - generally with my Mother's maid we took torches in the winter and I considered it very exciting, of course there were oil lamps in the Church then. When the fruit was ripe in summer the kitchen garden doors were kept locked, but we were very good at getting in and helping ourselves to apples, pears, peaches, gooseberries and my favourite luscious juicy apricots. I vividly remember once I was under a strawberry net with my brother when along came Henry Rodwell, our very dear head gardener. He was carrying his horrible club that he used to kill the birds with. He stood and looked at us - caught red-handed and said "You be mighty big blackbirds!" He never would get us into trouble.
He, his brother George and his son Willie were with us for years, and, I believe his family before him. My sister Pamela had a tame pig called Alcibiades that went literally everywhere with her, but alas one day he savaged the post man and Father had it disposed of. Talking of pigs, a sow died just after farrowing leaving eight little piglets. My Mother had a pen made for them in the cellar and she her Governess and her maid reared the lot, giving them bottles day and night every three hours. I can still remember some of the names - Dempsey, Carpenter, Daisy! One of my chief delights were the visits to Kirby Muxloe Castle. This belonged to us having come through the Hastings family - my Father gave it into the keeping of the then Office of Works in 1911. In my youth we could still go up to the second storey, though now that is not allowed I think. As we grew older we were allowed to go into the dining room for Sunday lunch and as a great treat had half a glass of cider. The Butler did not approve of "schoolroom folk" he never even offered us things like cream! We had a pets and birds cemetery under a ring of very dark yew trees on the west side of the Hall. We would hold hands in a circle over a little grave and sing "On the Resurrection Morning". I shall never forget the snowdrops; they literally carpeted the ground in the shrubbery.
In the spring - a wonderful sight. When I was about eight I was coming back from the bathroom to the Nursery about tea time on a winter's evening and in front of me I saw a lady dressed all in white, she was quite near, but I only saw her back and she went into the room at the end of the long dark passage that was then my Governess Miss Lease's bedroom. I told my Nanny and she said she wondered who it was and then I forgot all about it, as there were always lots of people in the house. Some years later most of us had the measles and we were quarantined in adjacent rooms on the nursery floor - the nursery maid temporarily sleeping in the Governess' room. She woke up one night in a fright and said there was a young woman in a white veil and a long dress bending over her.
It was not until I was grown up that I learned that my Fathers two sisters May and Georgina entered a Roman Catholic Convent (The Order of the Sacred Heart) when they were 17 and 19, May died of tuberculosis in her first year of novitiate before taking her vows. Novices of course wear white robes. Miss Lease's bedroom had been hers. Undoubtedly it was she I saw and since then I have had other experiences of spirits - or ghosts as some people call them. I dare say after my death I shall return to Braunstone Hall - It was one of the great loves of my life and I really never got over leaving my birthplace when I was 12 and we had to leave my home..

Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, 9 who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, 10 and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel…
2 Timothy 1:8-10
"You don't have to serve, you get to serve." We say that often at NorthCreek! Practically speaking, of course you have the personal right to choose if, where, and when you serve. But Biblically speaking, serving is a non-negotiable, non-voluntary, absolute necessity for every Christian. If one of our goals as Christians is to be more like Christ, then, serving is what Jesus did, and serving is what we do because we are more like Him when we serve.
When Jesus saved us (from sin, control, our autonomy apart from God), he called us for a purpose. That word "called" means to be summoned and appointed. God saved you and summoned and appointed you for a reason. I remember being called into the principal's office when I was a kid. Not many fun things happened there. While the whole class was present, I was "summoned" on the class intercom (with "oooohhhs" from the peanut gallery) to come to the principal's office. Walking down that long hallway to the office was like a 5 mile walk in slow motion. God also "purposed" us. Not only does God saves us and summons us, He appoints us to a task. He would give us the task of serving like he served, loving like he loved, and giving like he gave for the purpose of revealing God. Jesus said he came to show us what God is like. That purpose hasn't changed. Finally, God graced us with Jesus to show us how to be like God.
God uses what's in our hand to give expression of what God has done in our hearts! That is called "serving". Often times we want to do great and amazing things for God (what's in our heart), and those intentions, dreams, and desires are good. But, God asked Moses, "What is in your hand." Of course it was a shepherd's staff. And God used Moses' staff in incredible ways. Bible describes that the staff was used to produce water from a rock, was transformed into a snake and back, and was used at the parting of the Red Sea. God has already equipped us with what so obvious and what we already have in our hands!
So, as we serve, know that there is a sequence to our serving. Serving begins in our homes, then, moves to our church, then to our communities, then to the world at large. Serving begins and ends with the cause of Christ…he came down to reveal what God was like.
As I think about NorthCreek, over 80% of our people who call Northcreek "home" serve! That's awesome! If you don't currently serve, I invite you to serve at NorthCreek and/or your local church. The church is a home, not hotel. If everybody contributes, it makes for a great place to live!

Curly hair is a blessing and a curse. People believe we wake up and automatically have luxurious curls. IF ONLY IT WAS THAT EASY! If your curly hair is anything like mine, one day it is extremely moisturized and the next day its dry and brittle. To help combat all of the changes we face, I recommend doing a curly hair mask once a week depending on your specific hair needs. Sometimes we don't have time to run to the store and buy a new one to meet our needs so why not go the DIY route? That way you can combat your hairs specific needs with items you already have in your home.
Curly Hair Product Must Haves
Curly hair is a blessing. However, managing curly hair is not easy. I've been "natural" for 8 years strong and through lots of trial and error I have found a great set of products. As being natural gains popularity, there are more and more companies catering to curly hair. Some are good, some not so much. Curly hair has different needs than straight hair. These products have been tested over and over again and always exceed my expectations. Read More

Kate Somerville Exfolikate – Intensive Exfoliating Treatment
Two words: HOLY GRAIL! If you buy one skincare product I ever recommend, THIS IS IT. At $85 it may seem like an immediate no but I promise you this product lasts forever and will change your skin overnight. I use this once or twice a week depending on my skins needs and I wake up with clearer skin.Read More

Warm River
This last Saturday we went to the Warm River near Ashton, Idaho off the Bear Gulch parking area. The morning was a little stormy and cool but by mid afternoon it was a beautiful day. I caught 10-15 fish but only one 10" Brown. The rest were rainbows between 6" and 10" . I caught the majority on bead head prince nymphs and a few on a yellow stimulator (imitating the small golden stones that were on a few of the rocks). Overall it was a pretty slow day and a poor day for larger fish. The Warm River never has had the highest fish count compared to other rivers but it is a beautiful spring creek that drops through an impressive canyon. There are alot of deep holes that likley hold some nice trout if you could just get them to rise. Here's a picture of the Warm through one of the rapid stretches in the canyon.

Elizabeth Blunt was a talented musician and athlete who attended a Christian high school and college. Gifted in foreign languages, Beth was preparing to work in international relations, perhaps in China. But she never made it. Beth died in May of an overdose of heroin laced with fentanyl - a cheap, synthetic opiate. She was not quite 23. "She never came home drunk, didn't show signs of drug abuse," Beth's mother, Lisa, said. "She used to be the sweetest girl. I don't know what happened."
The statistics are frightening. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, every day in the United States, an average of 78 people like Beth die of an opiate overdose, including 29 from heroin. Every year, the CDC reports, opiate overdoses kill more than 28,000 people, and heroin kills more than 10,500. That's more than all those killed on U.S. highways.
And the problem is escalating. About 435,000 Americans in 2014 used heroin, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. That's nearly three times the number just in 2007.
U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy says drug and alcohol addiction is "a moral test for America," with more than 20 million people embroiled in substance abuse problems. Only 10 percent of them are receiving treatment.
"We can never forget that the faces of substance use disorders are real people," Murthy said while releasing a report on the problem. "Are we able to live up to that most fundamental obligation we have as human beings: to care for one another?"
What's behind this hellish epidemic? One factor - heroin is a very affordable high. "Heroin is … cheap and available just about everywhere," reporter Dan Ponce of WGN-TV in Chicago says. "A $10 bag can keep someone high for a day or two. …. Drug dealers will deliver heroin right to your front door."
Another is the neurological effect such drugs have on the brain. The surgeon general's report notes that repeated use changes the brain, so that it demands more to function. It's a vicious cycle that can trap our children in addiction. And it comes straight from hell. As Screwtape said to his junior-devil colleague , Wormwood, "An ever-increasing craving for an ever diminishing pleasure is the formula." That describes drug abuse to a T.
So now that we're properly scared, what can we do to protect our kids from the hellish world of illegal drugs? First, pray for and with them. Second, talk with them - frankly - not only about the risks of substances like heroin, but about the joy and purpose available in Christ, which no drug can ever match. Third, really listen to them. And fourth, if necessary, get them into treatment. Come to our website for some great resources and encouragement in the fight against this scourge.
Please know that there is hope for those who have become snared by drugs. Even in addiction, where sin increases, grace can abound even more.
Help is available for those who choose it. For example, the Indiana Dream Center provides recovering addicts with effective, God-centered treatment. Its facility for women, Marilyn's House, helps residents gain life and job skills, spiritual development, and mentoring. "To be held accountable, they don't go anywhere alone," says Jessica Brooks, a former heroin addict who now directs the ministry. "We're pretty radical. We really live how the Bible says. Jesus sent them out in twos, so we go out in twos."
Heroin may be a taste of hell, but as this ministry and others show, there is hope - real hope - in Jesus Christ.

JACKSON, Miss. — A Mississippi bail bondsman got an eerie message in September that took on a whole new feel in the wake of the mass shooting in at a Florida high school Wednesday.
It was "Nikolas Cruz."
That's the name of the 19-year-old accused of entering Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School wearing a gas mask, pulling a fire alarm, and opening fire on the students as they tried to evacuate. Seventeen people, including a football coach lost their lives in the attack.
Feb. 15: Florida school shooting suspect charged with premeditated murder
Feb. 15: Florida shooting suspect bought gun legally, authorities say
Ben Bennight has a YouTube channel called "BenTheBondsman" where he posts videos about things that happen in his line of work. That leads to a lot of crazy comments, he said.
Being familiar with criminal matters and law enforcement, Bennight, who works for AFAB Bail Bonds in D'Iberville, Miss., took a screenshot and reported the post. According to the video he posted Wednesday night, he then contacted the FBI.
"I wish I could have given them more information but it was just a comment on my channel," he said.
YouTube removed the offensive comment. Bennight tried to send it to "firstname.lastname@example.com," an email address he found online. It bounced back.
So he called his local field office.
Feb. 15: Florida school shooting victims remembered as 'hero,' 'baby girl,' sweet angel'
Feb. 15: Warning signs for suspect in Florida school shooting: When can police act?
"I called and left a message. The next day I had two FBI agents standing in my office taking down my information, taking copies of the screenshot, asking questions of course I couldn't answer," he said.

A Seton Hall freshman created a film society at Seton Hall in hopes of introducing its members to well known and popular movies college-aged students might not have seen.
Steffi Tindaan, creator of the club, said the society meets weekly to screen and discuss a film each week in Fahy 237 Tuesday nights.
"We have literature and literature societies to help us get into stories," Tindaan said. "Movies are stories, and we hope people will learn to enjoy the movies too."
Tindaan also said she believes many of the best films slip by unnoticed because some are advertised much more than others.
"The Academy Awards and media ploys seek to get attention for certain movies," Tindaan said. "Many times, good films are hidden away."
Freshman Ashley Scotto, the film society's public relations chair, said she believes people just go to the movies for the entertainment now and miss much of the message behind the film.
"For me, the film society offers me a chance to have a night at the movies, a chance to not only see the movie, but to absorb it as well," Scotto said. "I think that that is something that is lost these days."
The film society has screened three films so far, including "The Matrix" and "Pulp Fiction."
The society selected "Pulp Fiction" for its second screening because, Tindaan said, "Many people love 'Pulp Fiction' but they don't know just what it is about it they like."
This semester, the film society has decided to select movies by their genre and decade.
The film society will also feature movies by popular directors and actors Seton Hall students might not be familiar with.
According to Tindaan, the film society plans to show movies like "Gone with the Wind," "Casablanca," and Charlie Chaplin's "Gold Rush."
Scotto said the film society also would like to show a book-to-movie adaption and hold either a Disney or animated movie night.
Unfortunately, the film society is not allowed to advertise the titles of the films being shown, Scotto said.
As a result she said students have to attend meetings to find out about what movies will be shown when.
"We can't advertise the names of the films we are showing, but that is part of our draw," Scotto said. "You have to come to the meetings to find out what is coming up."
Tindann said she hopes to see more faces at their next meeting.

He had served as Vice President of the Milwaukee-based research and engineering facility since February 2008. The Corporate Technology Center consists of technology platforms that concentrate on advanced concepts and emerging technologies supporting the long-term product development strategies of the company. Bob joined A. O. Smith Corporation in 1994 as a Project Engineer at Corporate Technology. In that role, he worked on a wide range of projects for a number of the company's operating units. He returned to A. O. Smith in 2002 as a Section Manager, responsible for the Metallurgy and Prototyping Group. In 2005, he was promoted to Director-Materials and Processes at Corporate Technology.

It is really a great and useful piece of information. I am glad that you shared this useful info with us. Please keep us informed like this. Thank you for sharing
Named after the eponymous heroine of the famous 19th century novel! Tr**ly, madly deeply Trew! Bet u haven't heard that one a few mill times before? *roll eyes cue* ..path of **** love is never smooth.. Don't be cruel to a heart that's..must all be new to you, right? Well as a frontline dispatcher youre almost 2 good to b …. True grit, Miss Trew.

Realtime/Twitter News helps us see the plight and share the dispare. Keep it coming you do a great job, be wise and be safe for us all.
Sadly, the Brotherhood has performed without the clear mandate and desires of the people dreams. The dreams of a nation have been hijacked, manipulated by extreme views dressed in sheep's clothing under the guise of carrying the torch and hopes of the new nation.
2 years ago I did the one thing I said I wouldn't do to prove my convictions about what the Brotherhood would never deliver and unleash upon the same citizens that the rose up to protect their culture and give life to the new Government and new Hope. I won the bet with my friends in Eygpt (base at O….) but no pleasure was taken, no pleasure in the despair Egyptians have had experience and no pleasure in the fact the solution will harm a generation of young to come.
Freedom and Justice Party salvage the human tragedy and maintain the dignity of the Egyptian people. The world look's on.. the continued situation is below the dignity of such a the great nation given so much to the world, to its culture and to its inspiration from looking at the past, which was looking into the future.
Egyptians hold fast, better will have to come, because the dreams of the people is bigger, stronger and will out last beyond that of any political entity.
My hopes, wishes and love for the poeple will always be there.

I had difficulty finding a coat pattern that I liked, I settled on Simplicity 2745
Because it was CUTE For my daughter, and came in all the sizes I would need for all my children. I would need to alter the pattern to make it boyish, but that wasn't hard. Also the pants pattern could come in handy for my children's first winter in a climate that snows.
To make it for my daughter I decided on using a contrasting color for the godets. I loved the way this looked, but if I was to do it again, I would alter the side seam so that it also had a godet in it, this would not be a hard thing to do.
A word of advice, the godet is 1 size for ALL sizes, it is not graded, and thus will end up starting well below the waist on the larger sizes. I made the size 3 for my daughter, and the godet starts at the hip.
To alter it to be boyish, I combined the side front with the front, and the side back with the back, by removing the princess lines and cutting the pattern off at the hip. I also did not put the collar on.
The boys coats close with zippers. Which means I altered the front to no longer have that overlap the pattern included for the buttons.
The boys got to pick their own buttons.
My child's form is a size 3, so the Dog tail is actually attaching bellow the form's base and thus is drooping more than it does on my child.
My daughter got a Bow on her backside that hides the attachment of the tail. Little girls can rock the butt bow way better than us grown-ups!
As far as the coat pattern goes, besides the godet issue, I found the sleeves were rather long. I ended up turning them up 3" on all my children. I also highly recommend a wavy rotary cutter for finishing the edges as it is quicker than sewing and looks very nice, particularly on the collar!

Sunday, April 01, 2018
A while back there was a book, followed by a movie, called, Heaven is For Real. I don't know much about either one of them, just that they featured a cute little boy who somehow went to heaven and back.
I imagine that he describes the amazing beauty and grandeur of heaven. I'm guessing that the whole supernatural experience changed his life.
Well, I have a similar tale to tell; but it's not about heaven. It's about hell.
Twice in the last year, God has shown me something else. He has made it crystal clear to me that hell is for real. These two experiences have been the most terrifying of my life.
I'm not going to describe them in detail for you. Frankly, they are too harrowing to recount.
I will say that the first time happened when I was just waking up. I viscerally and physically felt this demonic force dragging me down to the netherworld. It drained every source of energy from my body, and I felt myself succumbing until I finally summoned up the strength to beg God for help. As always, when we turn to him humbly, He is faithful.
The second time was just last night — actually in the middle of the night. That one is too fresh to go into at all. I'll just say that after it was over, when I woke up breathless with my heart pounding in my chest, I realized that God had given me a taste of how absolutely horrifying is hell.
Now I am not sure why He has graced me with this information. I don't know why He wants to make sure that I get it. But from these experiences I have learned that there are ghastly, eternal consequences for our behavior.
This culture doesn't preach anymore about Judgment, heaven, and hell. There was a time (way back in the dark ages — that is, before the 1960s) when people believed in hell. They knew that the Devil was real. Folks weren't as focused on this life but getting to the heavenly place after death.
To be an atheist was unheard of. I never even heard the word until I was all grown up and in California. But now it seems that many, if not most, people don't think God exists.
Frankly, I think that this is the dumbest — and most dangerous — of all delusions. I mean, how in the world can anyone look around at the stars, at newborn babies and roses and mountains and not behold God Almighty? Although I came to be a Christian late in life, it never occurred to me to be an atheist.
But now it's all the trend. Even worse than that, society has taken a light-hearted approach to the demonic. This denial of evil has to be one of the most horrendous outcomes of the 60s.
There's even a television show called, Lucifer. Of course, you couldn't pay me to watch it. But as I understand it, the Devil is portrayed as not evil, but misunderstood. How low this culture has descended that such a despicable television show is allowed to be aired.
As Voltaire said, the Devil's greatest trick is convincing people that he doesn't exist. Well, I am here to tell you that he does — and so does hell.
It may not be a consoling, feel-good message, like the adorable tyke in the Heaven is Real series. But it's just as true.
Given that none of us get out of this life without being judged and going either up or down, now is a very good time. No, not a good time to turn on one of the perverse shows featured by the shameless media.
But it's a great time to take stock of one's life. As Pascal said in his " Pascal's Wager," what if there is a God? And heaven? Hell? Wouldn't it be smart to get one's moral house — and faith in God — in order? Not tomorrow, but today?
Because from what I have learned, hell is such a terrorizing place, that you really and truly don't want to be there for a moment — much less eternity. And no hook-up, marijuana joint, blasphemy towards God, or anything else is worth it.

"The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls."
-Pablo Picasso
Art is a field that touches to heart. It coneys gestures, emotions and thoughts and action. A performance art is getting human element involved in it. It is generally to make a statement. It has a philosophical appearance and facade.It has so many possibilities and interpretation but is done with one major intention. Its being that it is not restricted to an enclosed space. It can be done anywhere in the open to a coffee shop, on the road or terrace. It has no boundaries or restrictions.No allotted medium or space. Its very fascinating that the audience for this art also can be anyone. It can be people with artistic taste or general public, politician or a farmer. Its audience may or may not understand the meaning but are as much involved in the process of creation and adding value. It brings different perceptions and dogmas and challenges them. They are an excellent conversation starters and make people think about the subject or motive.
"Talking about performance is such a strange thing because it's so immaterial. We are talking about softmatter. We are talking about something that is invisible. You can't see it. You can't touch it. You just can feel it."
-MARINA ABRAMOVIC, "Marina Abramovic Makes Sundance Shut Up", Interview Magazine
One of the most renowned of its masters is Marina Abramović, who has ruled the performance art stage for over three decades, bringing newer and more innovative pieces to audiences worldwide. Noted by many as 'the grandmother of performance art', Marina has inspired a whole movement within this field that focuses on the conceptualisation of the human body and consciousness, and the progression of the body-as-a-text motif that has brought a wave of new performance artists to the scene. I found this engaging because of her entire set up and pose. Her direct gaze at the audience and poker face. The space is bloody and cluttered. It also strains on the message she is trying to convey and the touch that tit has been written with blood. It shouts at you and is more of a strong declaration than a casual statement.

Govt committed to devt Zongo c'nities-Boniface Saddique
The government remains committed to bridging the developmental gaps in the Zongo Communities.
The Minister of the Inner City and Zongo Development, Alhaji Boniface Abubakar Saddique, gave the assurance here at Bolgatanga on Wednesday.
This was when he paid a working visit to some of the Zongo communities in the Upper East Region, to brief leaders of the Muslim communities on government's programmes and policies for the residents of the Zongo communities.
He stated that residents of Zongo communities had been marginalised in social and economic development in spite of the fact that many residents in the Zongo communities had contributed significantly to national development.
The Minister noted that the neglect of the Zongo communities by past governments resulting in high illiteracy, poverty, diseases and unemployment in the communities and indicated that if care were not taken to address the phenomenon, the situation could lead to social conflicts.
The sector minister explained that it was against this background that the New Patriotic Party under the leadership of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo established the Inner City and Zongo Development to help address the challenges.
"This means that for the first time in the history of Ghana since independence in 1957 a move is being made to lift up the image of more of the less developed parts of Ghana," he stressed.
He explained that the mission of the ministry was to coordinate, collaborate and facilitate critical interventions through affirmative action that would progressively addresses economic, social and infrastructure deficits of the Inner City and Zongo communities.
Alhaji Saddique reiterated that his ministry would work closely with other ministries to provide vocational skill training and business incubation, business development support in terms of credit, training and basic tools and service facilitation to improve their livelihoods.
While at Bolgatanga, Alhaji Saddique inspected the ongoing multi-purpose sports complex in the Zongo community being built by the Ministry, interacted with the leadership of the Muslim communities at the Bolgatanga and Navrongo central mosques.
The Minister also interacted with the chiefs and elders of the Navrongo Traditional council at the chief's palace.
At the Bolgatanga Central Mosque, the leadership complained about inaccessible road networks to the Zongo communities, poor drainage systems, lack of clinics and lack of grave yard for them which the sector minister pledged to help address.
Shirk Tahiru Saeed, the Deputy Chief Imam of the Bolgatanga Central Mosque thanked the government for creating the ministry and urged the government to ensure that it implements the programmes and policies to uplift the Muslim communities.

But when she's reunited with Henry - the son she gave up for adoption ten years ago - on the night of her 28th birthday, everything changes. The now 10-year-old Henry is in desperate need of Emma's help because he believes from reading a book of fairytales that she's the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming - who sent her away from the Enchanted Forest to be protected from a curse that was enacted by the Evil Queen. Emma initially refuses to believe a word of Henry's story but soon finds that his hometown of Storybrooke, Maine is more than it seems. Because it's in Storybrooke that all of the classic characters we know are frozen in time with no memories of their former selves - except for the Evil Queen, who is Storybrooke's mayor and Henry's adoptive mother Regina Mills. Now, as the epic "Final Battle" for the future of both worlds approaches, Emma will have to accept her destiny and uncover the mystery behind a place where fairytales are to be believed.
