API's Commercial Director, Richard Burhouse, discusses how the best foil, laminate and holographic solutions for luxury packaging should be perfectly attuned to the essence of the brand…
Packaging is one of the most valuable marketing tools available to any brand; get it right, and you're halfway to success. This, of course, is because most purchasing decisions are based not on a dispassionate assessment of one's needs, but on emotion. When packs both stand-out visually and convey the essence of the brand, they are more likely to be chosen by shoppers in a crowded retail environment. Ensuring the packaging speaks to consumers is, therefore, essential, and investment in enhancements and embellishments – far from an unnecessary expense – is central to delivering sales success.
In a recent study by Package InSight at Clemson University, packaging foil and laminate enhancements were shown to have a powerful
effect on people's purchasing decisions. The study saw 70 participants fitted with calibrated eye-tracking glasses, which recorded their eye movements as they selected luxury chocolate products – some foiled and some not – from a shelf. The results were clear: the participants looked at the embellished packs more often, looked at them for longer, and were more likely to buy them.
A further, qualitative segment of the study then shed light on why the participants had favoured the embellished chocolate packs. Among the responses were: "The gold foil portrays a more high-end product," "It gives it a more premium look and shows their attention to detail," and "It just says 'fancier.' If I am looking for fancier chocolates, I look for fancier packaging." It is clear from these responses that shoppers are not attracted to foil embellishments indiscriminately – rather, they tend to associate such effects with a particular type of product, namely luxury. Thus, foil works best when it communicates the essence of the brand effectively, and doesn't jar with the customer's pre-existing perceptions.
Understanding the brand is key, and this requires packaging designers and suppliers to work closely with the brand owners from the beginning of the development process, building up a deep sense of the brand essence and what makes it unique. It is this understanding that shines through in the final pack, helping to give it the x-factor that will make it stand out.
And this is just one way in which designers and suppliers strive to ensure solutions are always tuned to the specific brand in question. Developing the perfect packaging solution also requires knowledge of the latest design and packaging trends to ensure the product is truly relevant to its consumers. API's annual Trends Folio, newly updated for 2018/19, contains the key packaging drivers identified by our global development network throughout the year, using their expertise in technology, categories, and brands. Such a reference book can form a key part in the design and decision making process and demonstrates how a business can act as a creative partner to brands, providing them with the latest trend knowledge and expertise to further their strategic development and develop the desired packaging solution.
The value of understanding the brand and the latest industry trends is exemplified by API's work with Taittinger, and specifically, our
creation of a dazzling diamond effect for a Taittinger gift box that represents the glamourous image of the brand.
Inspired by the 2ND SKIN trend – identified in the API Trends Folio – for packaging that is an authentic and flawless extension of the product it contains, the diamond effect provided an evolution of the champagne bubble effect seen on previous Taittinger gift boxes. The pack uses holographic and fresnel lens technology to portray the natural beauty of diamonds in precise detail, and the sophisticated visual effect synchronises perfectly with the tactile nature of the print and gift box materials to convey the luxury essence of Taittinger champagne in a way that is guaranteed to attract consumers in the retail store.
In a world in which 95% of all new products fail, it's clear that one of the best ways to make the successful 5% is through packaging. By understanding the brand, every part of the packaging solution can be carefully attuned to the unique product personality and help deliver the impact required. Ultimately, at its best, a two-way street is then created, where the packaging ceases to merely echo the brand – and becomes an integral part of the product.

Undisclosed income of Indians totalling Rs. 565 crore has been detected in France, according to Income Tax authorities, indicating that the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement is showing results.
The figure was disclosed in the information that India received from France on Indians having bank accounts, under the exchange of information clause of the DTAA with the European country.
In 219 cases, the tax authorities have detected undisclosed income totalling Rs. 565 crore and taxes amounting to Rs. 181 crore have already been realised, the Central Board of Direct Taxes told Parliament's Public Accounts Committee (PAC) recently.
In a presentation on NRI taxation, the CBDT said 30,765 pieces of domestic information about suspicious transactions have been obtained by field intelligence units (FIUs), which are under investigation by respective agencies.
The PAC was informed that this year, New Delhi has commenced tax information exchange agreements (TIEA) with 25 new jurisdictions.
As a result of TIEAs, requests from field officers to foreign tax authorities have increased from 39 in 2008-09 to 386 in 2011-13.
Till June 30, 120 such requests have been made, the presentation said.
The CBDT said at the beginning of 2009, India had 78 DTAAs, 75 of which do not have provision for exchange of banking information.
With six new DTAAs coming into force, India has a total of 84 such agreements with foreign countries.

Since I have been doing research about the Argentine provinces, I decided to cover some of my latest thoughts about it here. First, let me acknowledge that as a political scientist from Czech republic, I suffer from certain limitations in my imagination about how things actually work, and my research represents also my endeavor in learning that there is no general truth to what is good and what it bad, but that we rather have to deal with certain limited arena of policy choices, in which actors tend to operate. Therefore, all 23 provinces (+ federal district Buenos Aires, which behaves in the same way), they really test my ability to understand what is the Latin American policy making and how it works.
For my dissertation, I chose a topic which focuses on the provincial process of state-building after the restoration of democracy in 1983. I decided to pick up institutions of control and oversight I would implement, and then test whether their adoption could be explained by the level of political competition in each province. My main inspiration came from the book Rebuilding the Leviathan (Grzymala-Busse, 2007), in which the author claimed that state exploitation was restricted by the political competition. I wanted to expand Grzymala-Busses theory to a completely new setting of subnational units in Argentina, and test it quantitatively.
I picked four provinces (Chaco, Corrientes, Formosa and Misiones) from the same Northeastern region, and used them in my model (in which I used Taagepera's measures of effective number of parties and balance of parties; Laakso Taagepera, 1979; Taagepera, 2007) to see whether there was something to the relation between political competition and adoption of institutions of control and oversight. You can check the data here. I took every election to the provincial legislature in years 1983-2009 for each province, and established when each institution was adopted. In sum, I had 364 cases. In every case, I included the information, whether a particular institution was created (green circle) or not (red dot). You can see the result in the graph:
As you can see, there is no pattern in the data. Sometimes, institutions appeared when there was no competition, and sometimes they did not appear despite it.
Why I was wrong?
My main problem was that I never asked myself an important question: What role does the provincial party plays in the policy-making process? By being heavily influenced by the literature on the topic (Suárez Cao, 2011; Gibson and Suárez Cao, 2010; Došek and Freidenberg, 2013) I also automatically accepted the premise that political competition takes place between the parties. But there is a slight problem. Political parties serve as a vessel that is used to resolve internal and external competition among the provincial elites. Argentine provinces represent what Behrend describes as a closed game (Behrend, 2011) between political families. Members of families, who don't necessarily have a family bondage, are groups of people connected to a certain power group in the province, which usually controls a significant amount of economic activities in the province, as well as media and access to resources.
So if we use measures that only indicate the competition to analyze the process of policy-making in any province, we are actually missing a huge amount of information.
Implications for my research
I realized that political competition could not explain the adoption of institutions of control and oversight, because political families are much more interested in maintaining the game closed. It does not mean that institutions of control and oversight do not appear at all. On the contrary, even provinces that are widely considered to be hybrid regimes (such as Formosa or Corrientes in the case of my research) adopted a significant amount of them deliberately. The reason why is to be seen, but my guess right now would be that:
- To provide legitimacy to the politics
- To create job opportunities for the loyal members of families
- To use them against their possible political opponents (this would be the case of Misiones in my research)
How to analyze it?
I suggest that there are a number of ways how to proceed with analyzing my assumptions. First would be to look at the electronic voting register (wherever possible) from the provincial legislatures to check how MPs voted on important anti-corruption laws, and also go through the parliamentary discussion about the topic. Second, check who works for each institution of control.
- Politic science focusing Argentine provinces assumes that political party is the main policy maker. Provincial governments are often (but not always) working as closed games. In closed games, the main actors are political families. Political families are behind the party financing, and their members are spread across different parties/factions in order to secure family interests.
- As the evidence from my data shows, we cannot establish a pattern that would suggest that there is a positive impact of political competition on the adoption of the institutions of control.
- Higher political competition might also be a consequence of a careful gerrymandering, in which families create their electoral fortresses, while competing only for a small territory. This would make elections less resource intensive and also work as a guarantee to the political families a stable constituency, which can be mobilized and work as a more effective safeguard against their opponents. Last benefit is that it would not allow others to enter to their closed game.

Brian Howenstein is an athletic player who struggles with consistency due to some bad habits he's developed at the start of his golf swing. He is a young player who just graduated from college. Brian has been playing golf on and off since his sophomore year in high school.
Brian's misses tend to be to the right in the form of large fades or giant slices. He hits his driver around 275 yards, but admits that number varies considerably depending on how he is playing that day. His 5-iron is his 200-yard club, which tells me he must hit his irons better than his driver. Lately Brian has been working on his swing path, keeping his head still, and shifting his weight to his left side, all of which can be good aspects of the swing to work on. But as we dissect his swing, we will find out some of these are not his main problems.
On a positive note, Brian has a lot to work with. He has a very athletic movement around which it will be easy to build a good, repeatable golf swing. As a former baseball player, he possesses some important facets of a good golfer, including good hand-eye coordination and general athleticism.
So without wasting any more time lets take a look at Brian's swing.
For the most part, Brian sets up to the ball pretty well. He is square to his target line, his spine angle is good, and he lets his hands hang freely from his shoulders without reaching or holding the club close to his body. The only thing he could improve on would be to get into a slightly more athletic position by bending the knees a bit more.
From the face-on view you can see his ball position is good in relation to both his front foot and the center of his body. His right-hand grip is in a good neutral position, his spine is tilted slightly to his right and his head is in a good position behind the ball. From this position he is ready to begin a good golf swing.
The takeaway is the beginning of what is wrong with Brian's golf swing. As we can see in the picture, he makes the mistake we see in lots of high-handicap players: he takes the club back way too far to the inside. From this inside position he easily gets "stuck." Many of the problems that occur from this point on in his swing are essentially because of his initial takeaway.
Brian needs to get in a position on the takeaway more like PGA tour pro Grant Waite. I have drawn lines to show the position of their clubheads in relation to their hands and bodies. Notice how Grant keeps his club out in front of his body on takeaway. Brian has flipped his clubhead way to the inside. Because of this initial move it becomes very difficult to get the club back on plane.
From the front Brian has a good one piece takeaway, he just needs to work on getting the club on a path more to the outside of his body. A good drill for this would be to set a 2-by-4 down just outside of the ball and parallel to the target line. When taking the club back, make sure for the first few inches that the toe of the club stays in contact with the board. This will force you to start the club head on the correct line.
Backswing and Position at the Top
From the takeaway, Brian's club continues to wrap around his body until he gets to the top of his backswing where he points the shaft well right of his target line. The position at the top of the swing should look more like Grant Waite's. Notice how Grant's shaft is pointing at his target and he has not crossed parallel at the top. You can also see how he has to manipulate his clubhead to a much lesser extent than Brian does in order to get it back to square at impact.
From face on we can see another fault in Brian's swing. He has said he is working on shifting his weight to his left side. That is not the problem. The problem is he never loads the weight on his right side in the first place. This lack of shift means there is too much of his weight on his left side during the back swing. When this happens, you'll often finish in what's called the "Reverse C" position. You can see in the picture how Brian's left knee is collapsing and his upper body and head will make a move to his left. This decreases Brian's coil and zaps the power from his swing. It also makes his head and shoulders move vertically, causing inconsistant ballstriking. Brian has to stabilize his left knee on the backswing and gain balance.
Notice the other image of the coil of PGA teaching pro John Lanham. You can see how he coils on his right side. This position helps his lower body stay stable and his upper body "gather" at the top of his swing. This, in turn, causes an increase in clubhead speed and more consistent ballstriking.
Downswing and Follow-Through
Brian makes a good recovery on his downswing, showing off his athleticism. The problem with having to make these recoveries is that it makes it very difficult to be consistent each swing. One shot Brian may be able to square the clubface and on the next he may leave it wide open. First, we notice Brian is able to get the club back on plane pretty well. The problem is the plane is too flat. A more upright swing plane would be desirable and very well might happen on its own when Brian fixes his takeaway.
Next, we see the problems caused by his collapsing left side. Because of his unstable lower body he is unable to correctly clear his left side. The result is he is not able to square the clubface and he has a slight out-to-in swing path. To compensate for his left side, you can see in the pictures Brian's right knee explodes towards his target line and he releases the clubhead early or casts, both of which will cost him power. Once Brian shores up his left side and stabilizes his base, he will need to learn to rotate his hips better and quiet his legs.
In contrast, you can see in Grant Waite's swing how his lower body is quiet and he clears his left side correctly by rotating through. Notice how Grant's right foot remains on the ground while Brian's foot is on his right toe.
Brian's follow-through, again like his takeaway, wraps around his body. This is not a major swing flaw and like many other aspects of Brian's swing will work itself out with a little practice on the fundamentals.
In Conclusion
I can sum up Brian Howenstein's golf swing with one word: potential. Brian's problems are largely caused by a poor takeaway and a overly active lower body. With some work at the beginning of the swing plane and creating a solid base his swing is capable of much lower scores.
I would like to thank Bill Harvey, Head Golf Professional at Arroyo Del Oso golf course in Albuquerque, NM for his valuable contributions and insights with this article. If you too would like to submit a video of your swing for The Sand Trap's Swing Check please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
And finally I would like to thank Brian Howenstein for allowing us dissect his swing. I certainly hope you took something away from this experience and feel free to submit your swing again once you have made any changes, we would love to do a before and after piece.

Day 7 was supposed to have the four straight-forward round of 16 matchups. Two of them went as expected, but the other two were anything but straight-forward.
Robredo the Marathon Man- For the first time in about 90 years, a player has come back from two sets to love down in THREE consecutive matches. Tommy Robredo, the 31 year old Spaniard pulled off his third straight improbable, and maybe even impossible victory. Two days after defeating Gael Monfils, coming from two sets to love down, saving 4 match points, Robredo pulled off another miracle today. He beat Nico Almagro 6-7(5) 3-6 6-4 6-4 6-4. He was down 4-1 in the third set, down 4-2 in the fourth set, and down 2-0 in fifth. Almagro got very tight, and Robredo was there to take advantage. He grinds harder than just about anybody on tour, except for his next opponent.
For Robredo, this was an extremely emotional win. He was in tears of joy after the match, embracing the French Crowd who have grown to love him. At this time last year, he was ranked outside the top 400. He used wildcards, challengers, and his grit to eventually get up to number 34 in the world. He's into the quarterfinals, and he must be dreading his next opponent, David Ferrer. Could the guy at least get 2 days off?
The Boring Stuff- David Ferrer looked like a man on a mission against Kevin Anderson, breaking the big serving South African six times in route to a 6-3 6-1 6-1. He was hitting the ball as big as I have ever seen him.
Jo Willy Tsonga took care of business against a lesser opponent in Viktor Troicki, cruising to a 6-3 6-3 6-3 victory.
Federer Tested- After the first set, it looked like one way traffic for the 17 time grand slam champion. He took the first set 6-1 over Gilles Simon, in total control. However, after taking a fall in the second set, he started to get worn down. Simon won the next two sets 6-4 6-2, hitting the ball as big as he ever has. Darren Cahill even tweeted: "Wondering why Simon doesn't play like this in every match. I know Federer forces him to be offensive but normally chooses not to. #MiniMarat."
The French crowd were torn in this one, and once Federer got down 2 sets to 1, they were firmly in his corner.
He started to get himself in the match emotionally, belting out some subtle Com'on's and Allez's. He broke Simon with some brilliant shot making and took the fourth 6-4. Simon wasn't going to beat himself, and fought to the end. Federer broke to open the fifth set, and things went on serve until Roger served for it at 5-3/ He saved three break points, before winning on his fourth match point. He sets up a great Quarterfinal matchup with Jo-Willy.
Shot of the Day- Probably the shot of the tournament. Here is Roger producing his signature magic:

Luxury Push Notifications
Luxury Push Notifications
A recent survey by Luxury Institute showed that 67% of affluent smartphone users shop for luxury goods through their devices. So, the first stage in cementing a relationship between consumer and brand is the decision to download the app. The second stage is linking app use to the purchasing platform. Instagram masters this with the added the functionality of 'tap and view' at the published photo. This allows Instagrammers to easily proceed in the shopping of the displayed products.
However, brands have to work hard to stimulate engagement even when apps are not in use and not succumb to "out of sight, out of mind". One way to do this is push notifications which notify users about new events, products or messages even when they are not actively using the app. With this push notifications, brands have the option to segment based on purchase history, locations and preferences. Couple this with the potential to 'geo push' (automatically send relevant pieces of information based on the current location of the customer) and you keep on influencing the customer's decision at any time, in any place.
Drone Delivery
Everyone in the fashion world knows drone delivery is coming, the question is when? At the moment, the technology exists to allow the customer to order a designer handbag by immediate drone drop – the problem, as it stands, is the regulation. In fact, officials are casting doubt over the whole sector by announcing that they might not confirm regulations on drone delivery for another few years.
Will we see drone delivery in 2018? Major discount brands are pushing forward with this, 7-Eleven and Amazon have succeeded in making a series of drone drops but can luxury brands really adopt such a 'no frills' service? The challenge comes in the adaption process, taping into the luxury benefits that drones offer. One example of this lies in swarm technology which was employed at this year's Coachella. During the music festival, 300 drones were used to light up the sky and create a star backdrop that gave festival goers a highly individual, and no doubt, spectacular experience. Creatives will love drones for their ability to create cinematic perspectives. Couple this mission of offering unique experiences and you can imagine drones at Fashion Weeks, bringing personalised gifts to editors and journalists to create a fuller experience.

Changing the Globe(17/06/2010)
Modern life as we know it relies on a plentiful supply of artificial light. At the flick of a switch, we can do whatever we want after the sun goes down. But its not a modern concept.
Tanya Ha
Do it yourself lighting goes back 1.42 million years, to when humans first learnt to make fire. And then 4000 years ago, we turned fats into fuel in the form of candles, which were cheap and popular, but messy, inefficient and dangerous. Fascinated with burning things, kerosene this time, gas lamps were invented in 1792. And finally, almost a century later, Thomas Edison literally had his light-bulb moment... successfully applying an electric current to a carbon filament. Although science historians argue that he shares the glory with around 22 other scientists!
Dr Peter Osman
Filament lights work by pushing electrons through a tungsten filament, the faster they move through the tungsten filament the more they excite the tungsten atoms. The excited tungsten atoms make the wire glow white hot and that white hot heat appears as light. Only 10 per cent of the energy we put into them comes out as light.
Man-made lighting now accounts for nearly 20 per cent of the worlds electricity use and the effect is visible from space. And its the greenhouse gases associated with this power consumption that are prompting scientists to search for a greener light source, and governments to ban the inefficient incandescents.
Tanya Ha
Since last November, you can no longer buy traditional bulbs like this one. From next October well pull the plug on incandescents that are candle-shaped and eventually well start to phase out the less efficient halogen down-lights like the ones that youll commonly see in peoples ceilings.
Compact fluorescent lighting, or CFLs, are the current alternative to incandescent lamps, they use a quarter of the energy and last around eight times longer.
Dr Peter Osman
Compact fluorescent lights work by passing electrons through a gas of mercury and it absorbs the energy from the electrons and produces UV light, which we cant see, and then it hits a phosphor coating on glass, the phosphor coating glows with visible light that we can see.
Bryan Douglas
Switching to compact fluorescent lamps or CFLs will have an enormous benefit in terms of conserving energy. We estimate we will save something like four million tonnes of greenhouse gases a year, the equivalent to taking one million cars off the road.
Tanya Ha
The problem with fluorescent lamps is what to do with the mercury inside these efficient little lights, once they reach the end of their life.
Mercury is a toxic heavy metal which can vaporise at room temperature. CFLs contain up to about five milligrams, about the same amount as the ink at the tip of a ball-point pen. Large fluoro tubes in offices contain around three times more.
Bryan Douglas
When the lamp is not broken it is absolutely safe, but when its broken some mercury is released.
And this is why fluorescent tubes sent to landfill can present a risk to the environment... and why government and industry is gearing up to recycle them instead. Here at this plant in New South Wales, fluoro tubes are crushed down and every part of the lamp is recycled. The phosphor powder, which contains the mercury, is siphoned off and sent away for distillation, then the mercury is extracted and used to manufacture new products.
Bryan Douglas
CFLs, I believe, are a transitional technology, lighting manufacturers are not putting any more research and development into fluorescent lamps. Solid state lighting is just around the corner and I believe will largely replace compact fluorescent technology.
Professor Matthew Phillips
These new light sources use nitrite semi-conductors to make light emitting diodes. These diodes convert electricity to light very efficiently. But these devices are expensive to manufacture.
To make LEDs you start with a sapphire substrate, on which to grow the tiny light chips, which are formed using the naturally light emitting material, gallium nitride. The chemical reaction relies on large quantities of ammonia, which need to be heated up to 11 hundred degrees Celsius making it a cost and resource intensive process. But its here in Australia where scientists have had their 21st century light-bulb moment, devising a method to remove the need for sapphire and ammonia altogether, and reduce the high temperatures needed to make LEDs.
Giles Bourne
Years and years of research at Macquarie University led to the break-through in Remote Plasma Chemical Disposition RPCVD for short. It means you can introduce other types of materials like glass and silicon and that obviously has a cost benefit. You grow a very very thin film of material, which is essentially an LED, and from that glass or silicon substrate we can extract about 10,000 LED chips.
Tanya Ha
So does that mean that light source is smaller than a grain of sand?
Giles Bourne
Yes, its tiny, its a very minute amount of gallium and nitrogen that we use for growing this, it really is light on resources.
Prof. Matthew Phillips
Compared with the incandescent bulb, theyre around 10 times more efficient and they last 50 times longer.
Bryan Douglas
LEDs dont give off the heat that incandescent technology does. If this were incandescent, I could not touch this, but as you can see, no problem at all, it runs very cool.
But just how soon will we be fitting them into our homes?
Bryan Douglas
Maybe that is now just a couple of years away. A technological issue with LEDs is that they are essencially what we call a point source of lighting that is why they are very good in traffic lights and brake lights on vehicles. It is much more difficult to produce what we call area lighting.
In the meantime, its the potential for Organic LEDS or O-LEDS that is really sparking an interest, they provide sheet lighting rather than point sources.
Dr Peter Osman
Films of fabric that you apply a current to and they light up, you could make wall paper that lights up when you switch the light on. The futures really just limited by your imagination when you have technology like that.

Re Catalyst program last June 2010 on Changing the Globe unfortunately nothing was mentioned about the fact that a growing number of people around the globe, and not just lupus or migraine sufferers etc. are becoming ill from being under these globes especially if they are close to the head. Headaches, balance problems, rashes, seizure- like events are just some of the problems and governments, doctors and press are loathe to discuss it. Do we have to get sick in our efforts to save energy?

Alas, no mention or research about this world breaking, oz invented, lamp:

A well researched and presented story on something that we use everyday but don't really understand the implications of throwing CFL's or Fluros in the bin.

My whole house has been running on LED downlights for some years. They are brilliant. See this article on my website.
17 Jun 2010 8:35:36pm-
The story on LED lighting was a bit unbalanced -- hardly any mention was made of the embedded energy in the new lighting technologies. And at this winter time of year, a little extra heat with the warm and pleasant incandescent light is welcome in our house.

God Knows Your Heart
At some time in our lives, in one facet or another, this sermon applies to everyone.
God sees; God knows; God cares; and, God is believing in all of us to the degree that He gave His only Son for an offering of Love to man and a Door to Heaven Eternally.
There is a way for you out of your present circumstance. Anyone can change; if they just will.
Jesus Christ has your answers and He is The Way through everything that this life presents to man. All things and all people are passing. He is Eternal.
Only what we become and live with Christ Jesus unto God and man will last. Nothing else.
Today, our life is either being built for the heart and Eyes of God or it is not. We are as close to Him today as we want to be. We are getting out of our 'relationship with Him', exactly what we put into it. This life on earth is our opportunity to do something with God.
We begin doing so by caring about what He thinks, feels toward us and wants. This said, ponder the following, and it is my prayer that you rake in what is yours to benefit and change by; and that you leave alone what is not. Either way, God's Precious will be done in your heart, dear reader.
Luke 19: 10
For The Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
Proverbs 4: 23
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
Proverbs 21: 2, 23, 24
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but The Lord pondereth the hearts.
Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.
Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.
2 Corinthians 5: 17 ~ 19, 21
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath Reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of Reconciliation;To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us The Word of Reconciliation. For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the Righteousness of God in Him.
Let's say that you know you have 'blown it' a time or two and your taking charge of your self isn't where it needs to be. Perhaps you will see your self in the following from where you have been, or are at the present, i.e.:
a) Placed your heart, time, energies and zeal forth into pursuing that coveted job, at any price to you and others;
James 4: 7, 8
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
b) Gone after the fame and prestige of this temporary world;
Luke 21: 33 ~ 36
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but My words shall not pass away. And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before The Son of man.
c) Walked down some roads where you didn't see the pit falls lurking to deceive and ensnare you and you haven't forgiven your self, still bearing the guilt. You can come out of that ditch. God knows you and He alone knows your heart.
1 Samuel 16: 7
But The Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for The Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but The Lord looketh on the heart.
d) Theft ~ taking 'job supplies and/or job time', doing your own 'personal agenda' while 'on the clock' of an employer;
e) Cussed a few unhealthy words, even name-called another; backbiting, gossiping, slander, etc.
1 Peter 3: 10, 11
For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
(see James 3)
f) Going to church saying 'I'm a Christian', while raising your children see you are world seeking, worldly activities, no time in The Bible or prayer; a slanderer, back-biting, covetous, loose-tongued, lies etc.
1 Timothy 4: 2
Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;...
Hebrews 4: 12, 13
For The Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the Eyes of Him with Whom we have to do.
g) Seeking the recognition, approval and praise of man;
John 5: 44 Jesus said:
How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
John 7: 18
He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh His Glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
h) Possessing a love all around 'self'; consideration and thought for self; self-seeking; being disinterested, passive, insensitive, and inconsiderate of others;
Mark 12: 30, 31 Jesus said
And thou shalt love The Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the First Commandment. And the Second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Luke 6: 31
And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
i) Covetousness: i.e. just can't get enough; shop till you drop, and run after more and more, never satisfied within;
Exodus 20: 3
Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.
Colossians 3: 1 ~ 10
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our Life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in Glory.
Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: For which things' sake the Wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed in Knowledge after the image of Him that created Him:...
Acts 17: 24 ~ 28
God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that He is Lord of Heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed any thing, seeing He giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; That they should seek The Lord, if haply they might feel after Him, and find Him, though He be not far from every one of us: For in Him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also His offspring.
j) Hearing The Word of God in any given area and not taking it to heart, making sure you act upon it;
Romans 1: 18
For the Wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold The Truth in unrighteousness;..
James 1: 21, 22
Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted Word, which is able to save your souls. But be ye doers of The Word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
k) Giving your self over into habitual sins, not refusing and forsaking them;
Hebrews 12: 13 ~ 15
And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see The Lord: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the Grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;..
1 Thessalonians 5: 21 ~ 23
Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil. And the very God of peace Sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
l) Saying...one thing; and, doing another, i.e. insincerity, lacking commitment with pretense;
James 1: 8
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
1 Samuel 2: 3
Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth:
for The Lord is a God of Knowledge, and by Him actions are weighed.
James 2: 18
Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. (obedience)
m) Partiality: Preferring certain people over others and treating them that way, i.e.:
James 2: 1 ~ 4
My brethren, have not the Faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, The Lord of Glory, with respect of persons. For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
Jude 1: 14 ~ 16
...Behold, The Lord cometh with ten thousands of His saints, To Execute Judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him. These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage
n) God cares about others more than me;
Acts 10: 34, 35
Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth Him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with Him.
o) I tried God and it didn't work and I quit.
Philippians 4: 13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Galatians 6: 7 ~ 9
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap Life Everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
p) Every day, there are injustices. Where is God in it all? Why doesn't He stop the wicked doers?
Romans 14: 7 ~ 12
For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. For whether we live, we live unto The Lord; and whether we die, we die unto The Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are The Lord's. For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that He might be Lord both of the dead and living. But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before The Judgment Seat of Christ. For it is written, As I live, saith The Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
Psalms 1: 1 ~ 6
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in The law of The Lord; and in His law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the Rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in The Judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For The Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish
Proverbs 15: 3
The Eyes of The Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
1 Peter 3: 12
For The Eyes of The Lord are over the righteous, and His ears are open unto their prayers:
but The Face of The Lord is against them that do evil.
q) Where do I find Divine Truth when there are so many 'religions' out there in our world? Which one is right to follow?
John 5: 39, 40 Jesus said:
Search The Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have Eternal Life: and they are they which testify of Me. And ye will not come to Me, that ye might have Life.
John 8: 32, 32
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, If ye continue in My Word, then are ye My disciples (followers) indeed; And ye shall know The Truth, and The Truth shall make you free.
r) Letting others influence and control you. Caring more about what people in your life think of you and want, than what God knows, feels and sees in you and wants;
Psalms 91: 1, 2
He that dwelleth in The Secret Place of The Most High shall abide under The Shadow of The Almighty. I will say of The Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress: my God; in Him will I trust.
Galatians 1: 10
For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
Ephesians 6: 6 ~ 8
Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing The will of God from the heart; With good will doin
g service, as to the Lord, and not to men: Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of The Lord, whether he be bond or free.
Aware or unaware of the danger and Judgment of choices we make, we each step into what we 'want'. I speak of a Spiritual heart condition here. Yes, God knows our heart. Aware or unaware of the blessings involved, we go forward into what we 'want'.
Proverbs 4: 23
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
On this road called life, there are signs along our way.
Such signs as 'no left turn', 'stop', 'dead end', 'road out ahead', 'detour', 'no turn ', 'caution: winding curves ahead', 'downhill, slow down'; 'one-way road ahead', 'merge right', 'one lane traffic ahead', 'steep hill', etc.
Unlike the signs we follow when we drive, yet similar in warning for our good and safety, they appear in various ways to us in our living.
Depending upon our knowledge at any given time, we may see the signs and we may not.
We may foresee the pitfalls of the devil and destruction, loss and misery ahead; or, we may not.
Be it by way of having the nature of a bull or jackass; or, a lamb running to unseen slaughter, God sees and knows our heart.
He watches, feels, waits, and is there for each us. His children are not alone, ever!
James 3: 13 ~ 18
Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against The Truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the Wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
1 Peter 3: 12 ~ 18
For the Eyes of The Lord are over the righteous, and His Ears are open unto their prayers: but The Face of The Lord is against them that do evil. And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; But Sanctify The Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing. For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but Quickened by The Spirit:..
God is all wise, all that is good, and patiently waits on us to 'get the message'. He sees we 'get it' when we live like it.
Faith produces action. At times when you don't believe in your self, remember, He is still believing in you. This in itself, helps us to believe in our self motivating us to assume full responsibility for our self producing needful change. All that matters is what He knows and thinks of us. He's watching.
He trusts each person with their own choices of the heart. God Himself paid the ultimate price by giving us His Son Who points The Way for us all. He is believing in us to use our heart for Him as the very Center of our life which everything and everyone else fits around.
Nothing we do to become what pleases Him, compares to His Sacrifice for us.
He isn't expecting what we cannot be, become and live. What if He had said 'no' to His Father in several areas of what God expected of Him?
Where would we all be?
There would be no Eternity and 'abiding in His Presence' here or in Heaven. Plus...plus. He alone is worthy of our lasting loving allegiance.
He knows what is in our heart at any given time. He knows what we shall ultimately choose. He knows why we shall choose it and when.
He knows what to allow to convince us all of what we need to see and change.
He knows our motives and intent of heart and judges it.
He also knows what to 'allow' for the purpose of Him having His way and purpose with His clay....us. Bringing forth...a vessel 'mete for His use'.
He wholeheartedly believes in each person on earth to choose good for 'self' over...evil. He invested Himself with His Blood on the Cross for such!
Very Beautifully Done And I Thank Each of You So Much!

The Cheetah
Height: male: 75 cm (30 inches).
Weight: male: 50 kgs (110 lbs) / female: 40 kgs (88 lbs).
Habitat: Open plains, savannah, woodlands.
Grouping: Solitary, pair for mating.
Breeding: All year, 2-4 cubs.
Diet: Medium - small antelope, warthog, young of the larger animals.
The cheetah is built for speed: light boned, swaybacked, long, thin legs, and short neck The feet are small feet with blunt unsheathed claws. The head is small and round, relatively small teeth; low, broad ears. The coat is short except for ruff of longer hair framing the face and short spinal crest. The color is tawny, with small, solid black spots, white underparts, the outer tail is ringed black and white, and distinctive "tear stains." Cubs have long, silky fur black with faint spots and a cape of long, blue gray hair.
The cheetah is still widespread in sub Saharan savannas and arid zones; wherever suitable prey occurs. They can be seen in South African national parks in Northern South Africa, the Serengeti NP, in medium and long grass plains in Tanzania, the Masai Mara NR and Amboseli NP in Kenya, the Etosha NP and private game ranches in Namibia.
Although the range includes sparsely vegetated subdesert and steppe, the cheetah needs bushes, grass, or other cover to get within sprinting range of prey and to hide from larger predators. The cheetah is specialized as a predator on gazelles, springbok, and the fleetest of plains antelopes. They also prey on smaller antelopes (oribi, bush duiker) and calves of all the larger antelopes as well as warthog, young zebra, and some small game like hares. They can go 4 days or more without drinking and easily goes 10 days in the Kalahari, where it eats melons.
The most diurnal cat, the cheetah is seldom active at night and usually rests during heat of day. Average distance traveled in a day by a female with cubs is 2.3 mi. (3.7 km), compared to 4 mi. (7 km) for males.

BROOKLYN TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- Firefighters from multiple fire departments were at a property off Main Street near Hop Bottom after a brush fire spread to a storage barn, destroying it.
A picture sent to Newswatch 16 by a viewer shows the heavy flames engulfing the building before crews were able to get it under control.
Hop Bottom Fire Chief Pete Macca says it's unclear exactly how the fire started.
"We're not sure exactly if they were burning brush in the back. somehow the storage barn caught on fire, and then we had a brush fire extension to two structures when we got on the scene, so we got those knocked down," said Chief Macca. "The barn was completely on the ground now so we're just doing mop up at this time."
Homeowner Joe Cowen wasn't exactly clear on how the fire started, just that he lost control of it.
"It got away from me. I was watching it, couldn't put it out. It went right up to the building. I was in the other yard. It got away from me," said Cowen. "Brush fire, I called the communications center. Everything was good. There was no wind. I turned around. The wind picked up. I couldn't put it out."
An apartment building near where the barn once stood sustained damage after flames melted the siding. Tenant Sabrina Burris lives in that building and believes it's OK for them to return home.
"Yeah, that's what we assumed because there was no damage or anything from the fire," said Burris. "We were helping the firefighters put it out."
"Thank everybody that came. Nobody got hurt. It's a loss. Thank God nobody got hurt. I want to thank all the fire companies," said Cowen.
The fire chief confirmed that people living in the apartment complex will able to stay there as only the siding was damaged.

Underrated: Simon Cowell
November 2014
Simon Cowell: A force for good? (illustration by Michael Daley)
It's fairly safe to assume that if there's one person who doesn't underrate Simon Cowell, it's Simon Cowell. The undoubted, pre-eminent impresario of television entertainment today — a sort of modern age Lew Grade — he takes an unashamed, almost artless pleasure in his influence, his public popularity and the extraordinary wealth it has brought him. As a judge on talent shows The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent, this music executive and talent-spotter now has one of the best-known faces on both sides of the Atlantic, and he obviously loves every minute of it.
Millions of viewers are happy to bask along with him, while the haute bourgeoisie hold their noses and tut-tut at the sheer ghastly vulgarity of it all. Smart aleck commentators joke about his Botox and his obvious pride in his "moobs" (man-boobs, for the uninitiated). They miss the point and not just because of the dreary snobbery they exhibit. For Cowell deserves a good deal of credit for a number of quite unconnected developments, not all of them immediately apparent.
First, and most recent, was the support he showed for Israel when he donated around £100,000 to the Friends of the Israeli Defence Forces. Cowell's father was Jewish, as is Lauren Silverman, his partner and mother of their recently-born son Eric. He is hard to read politically, although that might be because he appears to share with the public a general lack of interest in politics. But on this issue, he stuck his neck out, departed from the usual showbiz line on the conflict and put his money where his sympathies lie.
Cowell experienced some blowback in the form of nasty and overwrought attacks from the Twitterati ("blood on his hands", etc). The same happened to the comedian Joan Rivers, who in her characteristically trenchant way spoke up for Israel only weeks before her recent sudden death and in doing so made herself enemy number one in many liberal eyes.
Stands such as Rivers's and Cowell's are significant because they are brave; if you depart from the usual bien pensant line in the creative industries, you can quickly find yourself behind enemy lines. We can pretty much set our watches by the predictability of celebrities' views; we know exactly what to expect from Stephen Fry or, heaven help us, Russell Brand. But a TV researcher trying to find somebody on the British cultural landscape — whether actor, singer or writer — who will voice support for Israel will find his or her work seriously cut out.

BARCELONA, Spain — The fervent hope of this city on the Mediterranean coast is that six years from this week, in August 1992, the Summer Games of the XXVth Olympiad will be in their last, glorious throes here.
"With all due respects to Los Angeles and the wonderful show it put on in 1984, and whatever Seoul has planned for 1988, the 1992 Summer Games in Barcelona are going to be simply the best ever," Mayor Pasqual Maragall said recently.
His confidence--backed by an estimated $150 million the city already has spent in planning and preparing for the Games--will be tested in October when the International Olympic Committee meets to choose the host cities for the 1992 Winter and Summer Games.
Among the leading contenders for the '92 Summer Games are an equally confident Paris and a more subdued Amsterdam. Less serious contenders are Belgrade, Yugoslavia; Birmingham, England, and Brisbane, Australia.
