Russia unveils reusable rocket engine
A leading Russian space research centre has posted a video of its nuclear-powered rocket, that will be able to land on Mars in seven months, and can be re-launched into space just 48 hours after landing.
The space research centre also targeted SpaceX's Elon Musk by describing his famed reusable rockets as "old tech".
The State Scientific Centre Keldysh Research Center is a research institute in Moscow, Russia. Prior to World War II it was known as the Research Institute for Jet Propulsion and was responsible for the development of the Katyusha rocket launcher. Until 1991 it was known as the Scientific Research Institute of Thermal Processes conducting research and development in the areas of electrophysics, space instrumentation, propulsion, and power units.
It is now named after M. V. Keldysh, one of the key figures behind the Soviet space program. It is a Federal State Unitary Enterprise that is part of the Russian Space Agency.
Elon Musk is a South African-born Canadian American business magnate, investor and inventor. He is listed by Forbes as the 53rdrichest person in the world. As of January 2018, his net worth is $20.9 billion. Best known as the Founder, CEO and CTO of SpaceX, a private aerospace manufacturing and space transport services company, Musk is known for his aspiration to enable the colonisation of Mars, and reduce costs of space travel within the next two decades.
A leading Russian space research centre has posted a video of its nuclear-powered rocket, that will be able to land on Mars after seven months, and can be re-launched into space just 48 hours after landing.
"A mission to Mars is possible in the very near future, but that's not an aim in itself. Our engines can be the foundation for a whole range of space missions that currently seem like science fiction," Vladimir Koshlakov, who heads Moscow's Keldysh Research Center told Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
The institute, which is famous for developing the Katyusha rocket launched during World War II, has been working on what it says is a "unique" propulsion system since 2009. From past descriptions, it comprises a gas-cooled fission reactor that powers a generator, which in turn feeds a plasma thruster.
Various nuclear reactors were deployed in space by both the Soviets and NASA between the 1960s and the 1980s but, although Koshlakov has refused to name a date for when the new engines will be ready, he says they "will surpass the existing level of technological and scientific development."
"Reusability is the priority," said Koshlakov, himself a scientific researcher, specializing in heat transfer and mathematics modelling, "We must develop engines that do not need to be fine-tuned or repaired more than once every ten flights. Also, 48 hours after the rocket returns from space, it must be ready to go again. This is what the market demands."
Questioned on whether he might be beaten to the punch by foreign companies, particularly more agile private corporations such as Elon Musk's SpaceX, which is planning its own mission to Mars, Koshlakov was unconcerned. "Elon Musk is using the existing tech, developed a long time ago. He is a businessman: he took a solution that was already there, and applied it successfully. Notably, he is also doing his work with help from the government," he concluded.
Russia's targeting of Musk was expected as SpaceX was chosen over Russia by Kazakhstan to launch its domestically-built satellite. Kazakhstan has been a steady client for Russia's state-run space agency since 1992 and also houses the Russian-leased Baikonur Cosmodrome, Moscow's only operational launch pad.
Our assessment is that SpaceX and Musk's radical ideas have finally starting to influence the global space launch market. We believe that SpaceX's low cost, high efficiency and innovative designs have disrupted the market, leaving the Russian space agency lagging behind and almost uncompetitive for small payloads. We also feel that this disruption of the space launch market will see a rapid deployment of new innovations on decades-old launch platforms and launch systems.

I did ALL of the chores, all by myself this weekend. No help from king asshole at all. I cooked all of the meals and cleaned up everything after them. I was the one who had to get the brat some Motrin because she has yet another headache.
"I'll help you honey, you know I will."
I'm not her mother, and I'm not his mother. I'm a grown woman who chose not to have children because to me they are just big fucking leeches. They suck up your food and your time and your money and they give you nothing in return. Thanks, I'll just get myself a gold fish next time I feel lonely.
He thinks he's coming home to have sex. WRONG. I'm tired from having had to be "on" all fucking weekend and I'm really not in the mood to deal with him. I'll cook dinner and clean up after myself, but I have every intention of hiding the rest of the night.
He just thinks all of this is so fucking easy for me just because I don't have a goddamn meltdown every time she comes over. I fucking hate having her here. Why can't he just give her up and let her mom deal with her all the time? Why do I have to be tortured like this??? Don't I work hard during the week? Don't I deserve to have a nice weekend to myself? Haven't I fucking earned that?
I want to unleash on him when he comes home. I want to fucking yell at him for everything he's ever done to me. I want to smack him across the face so hard it leaves a mark.
But I won't.
I warned him that when the time came I'd just get quiet. That time has come. Prepare for the insufferable sound of silence.

Gregg Cropper's reflections on an eventful six months
Now that things have (just about!) settled down after an amazing week in Nottingham it is worth reflecting on what we have achieved in the past six months here at England Touch.
When I took up the role as Chief Operating Officer, our first full-time paid position – and the only full-timer at any National Touch Association outside Australia and New Zealand – I was excited about all of the developments in front of us.
And now that we're three-quarters of the way through the season I'm really proud of what we've achieved.
We have overhauled the National Touch Series, consolidating the different competitions into one coherent brand, and played at five new venues, all within a refreshed format. Live streaming these events has also been a huge success and the reach, engagement and followers of our social media channels has increased dramatically, up by 28% up to over 50k impressions per week.
Our new website is now fully mobile optimised, and includes a membership portal and online shop, with open communication channels and will be developed further to become the 'go to' resource centre for Touch in England.
The Euros
We've seen our club competitions go from strength-to-strength over the past few years, but nothing compares to the planning needed for the largest European Touch Championships ever!
From writing the original hosting bid two years ago, to packing down the last marquee on Sunday, it's certainly been a mix of emotions throughout it all.
The growth of the event, 20% bigger than 2016, with 61 teams from 17 countries, is testament to the hard work being done by National Touch Associations across the continent and beyond. It's both encouraging and staggering to see the number of participants attending each Euros and with further lessons learned I know that 2020 will be even bigger and better!
I've been delighted by the reaction to this years Euros. When planning began and I started to pull together a Local Organising Committee, I knew we were putting together a week to remember, and seeing that everyone has gone home from Nottingham absolutely buzzing, we certainly achieved that.
The Touch on show was superb, world class in fact, we were privileged to have lots of coverage and support from the BBC, and the engagement on social media has been amazing, both in the build-up, during the week and in the days after. Even the sun shone on us every day too, which makes a massive difference to any event.
An immense amount of time (blood, sweat and tears!) was put in by everyone – players, coaches, medical staff, organisers, referees and volunteers – and we're delighted to have seen it pay off. This applies equally to England Touch as it does to Europe and the tournament as a whole.
As part of the Championships, we ran a small pilot for schools and had four teams from three schools in Nottingham, Upton Park (East London) and Wymondham (East Anglia) come to Highfields. They got chance to make a tunnel for the players to run down on the main pitch, carried the flags for those teams in the finals and even collected autographs from the England stars after it too.
This was great to watch; all of the children looked to have had fun, and hopefully have been inspired to take up the sport more seriously.
There are always people to thank for making this such a superb tournament:
Ken Pollard and Kevin Hill, the other two musketeers, without whom an event of this magnitude simply wouldn't have happened
Erica Robertson, the volunteer lead, and her team, especially Zoe Malarkey and Jen Jones
Chris Wearmouth and the media team, who followed the 'it needs to happen so let's make it happen' mantra. Chris Bryant's video round-ups were superb, Howard Goldberg led the photographers, and Nick Heath's work on the England Rugby 'Good Luck' video made a massive impact on the squad
Adrian, Nic, Mark and the crew from 24/7 Media, who put together a superb production with commentators Dave and Steve. 24/7 Media have been our broadcast partners throughout 2018 and the showed how much understanding they've got of our sport in how they covered the Euros
Mitch and Laurence Brough from For Any Event UK, who sorted the logistics of the event in terms of set-up, packdown, marquees, PA, and so on. We've worked with them for a while as well and they always work relentlessly with a smile on their faces
Cari Thorpe and her expert team of medical staff, from sports therapists, physiotherapists, chiropractors and doctors. A very smooth operation covering the 10 England teams, 100 referees and those countries without any medical staff travelling
Josh Bingley, from Open Air Design, for the logo creation and outstanding graphics and merchandise design
Nottingham University's Christine and Corinne, for their over and above assistance pre, during and post event. We will be back!
To everyone else who's played their part, however big or small, I'm immensely proud of what was an excellent and memorable event you helped create
The Future
But we're not resting on our laurels, far from it. Yes, we have delivered the best European Touch Championships ever and have seen our club competitions go from strength to strength, but I'm more than aware of the need to use this as a springboard for the future.
Our Plans New Schools Touch Development officers have recently been appointed and a strategy and framework in which they will be looking to implement and work within over the coming year has been developed. This document sets out 10 goals, reasons why, along with timelines we are aiming for. Schools tool-kits, interactive forums, Teacher CPD and downloadable resources all form part of the work being done in this area
Our Board We have a more diverse board, including a number of independent non-executive directors, resulting in more effective decision making based on a diversity of views. Both ournon and executive board is now nearly full, with 11 of the 12 positions occupied by individuals with a wealth of knowledge in the sector
Our Partners We've re-signed our three longstanding partners in Belief, SPORTTAPE and Steeden, who have become synonymous with Touch over the past 3-4 years. Bhubesi Pride have become our first charity partner, and Red Bull used the European Touch Championships as their first foray into the sport. More importantly, we're being contacted regularly by companies and charities who want to work with us.
After months of discussions, we have finalised and renewed our partnership agreement with England Rugby. This new alliance will see the ETA and RFU work together to increase participation in Touch in both organised clubs and the wider community in England, through financial investment and additional resource.
Our Future Finally, we have recently submitted our Sport England recognition pre-application documentation, which, if approved, will give us 12 months to apply for full recognition status. It's felt we are at the stage in our development as an organisation that it's worth re-exploring this process and the potential partnership, funding and wider responsibilities that go along with becoming a recognised NGB, further.
Embarking on this monumental submission follows the collaboration work done last year with the Sport and Recreation Alliance and Oneside Law, where we developed new articles of association as the basis for future development, growth, and good governance.
This huge piece of work has brought large parts of the team together in order to show our progress and development over the years as a maturing NGB, of which I'm incredibly proud.
A huge thanks to all those who've assisted both England Touch and myself personally, to get to where we are today.

November 24, 2011 in Sex in Sookieverse, Southern Vampire Mysteries
Raannt.com have a new interview with Charlaine – frankly, they had me with the title: "True Blood Would Not Exist Without Charlaine Harris!". A sentiment worth repeating.
Charlaine was asked about a variety of subjects both show and book related, and the interview includes probably the most diplomatic dodge I've ever seen her do in response to a question about whether Anna Paquin is a suitable Sookie.
Raannt also asked about the sex scenes in the books:
To me, a good sex scene depends on a good relationship between the people involved. I don't find clinical sex a turn-on. I think a sense of humor has to be part of it, too, and trust. And I also think the sex has to happen naturally as part of the development of the course of the book; does that make sense? I don't have sex scenes in books if the scene doesn't explain something about the characters or about their relationship.
Since I've spent an inordinate amount of time poring over the sex scenes in the books in an attempt to gain some insight into Sookie's relationships with Bill and Eric (for shame – read these posts if you haven't already), confirmation from Charlaine that she does intend for the reader to view these scenes within the wider context of the story – and not just as lady porn – is kind of a relief.
You can read the rest of the interview here.

I don't even know where to start. This book. I mean, this series is too good for me to even. I just. Nope.
I talked about the characters in the review of the previous book, but I think I need to talk a bit more about my husband Will Herondale. The character development throughout the previous book and this one is bloody amazing. Clare has managed to keep it real, but still very exciting. Will is aproached as a broken toy, and I just. NO. He's had so much horrible happening to him, and I just can't even begin to handle it.
The story in itself started out a little slow. But this book is definitively funnier than the previous one. I really liked this as a sequel, but it wasn't as good as the first one. Not that it was bad, but it just lacked
the first book had. But OH MY GOD there's a lot of plot twists in this book. I nearly dropped it several times as I was reading it. I was just like WHAT THE F JUST HAPPENED?
It wasn't a lot of action in this one, and I sort of missed that. There was a lot more focus on the characters than on the story in itself, and I liked how it spanned over just few days (14, was it not?), and so much could happen in that time. Although the engagement of Jem and Tessa may have been a little rushed, but I kind of liked it anyway. I can't really decide who I think Tessa should stay with though, because I love both Jem and Will. It's just that Will is so much more badass.
Also. Mildred. I'm just saying.
And that was another completely useless and rambly review. Feel free to execute me.

By Jim Jordal
Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits, and the breadth of it six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon….Then the satraps, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up…Then the herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, peoples, nations, and languages, that whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, you fall down and worship the golden image…and whoever doesn't fall down and worship shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. Therefore at that time, when all the peoples heard the sound of the…music, all… fell down and worshiped the golden image.
Daniel 3:1-7, WEB
The kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality and lived wantonly with her, will weep and wail over her, when they look at the smoke of her burning, standing far away for the fear of her torment, saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For your judgment has come in one hour.' The merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any more; merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet, all expensive wood, every vessel of ivory, every vessel made of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble; and cinnamon, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, sheep, horses, chariots, and people's bodies and souls.
Revelation 18:9-13, WEB
The street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God, the Almighty, and the Lamb, are its temple. The city has no need for the sun, neither of the moon, to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb. The nations will walk in its light. The kings of the earth bring the glory and honor of the nations into it. Its gates will in no way be shut by day (for there will be no night there), and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it so that they may enter. There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or one who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.
Revelation 21:21b-27, WEB
Throughout recorded history God is associated with gold. For Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar his vaunted image of gold formed the idolatrous basis for the worship of money and power. For the writer of Revelation, gold was so common and unworthy of worship that it formed the paving for the streets of the New Jerusalem. That's quite a contrast—from all-powerful to as common as paving stones.
Last week we identified several places in which the Babylonian domination system now crushing the earth is described as being the hammer of the whole earth, and the scepter, or symbol of power, of rulers and the wicked. This week we go on into the scriptural associations between God, gold, and domination systems.
The anti-type of God's soon-to-come earthly kingdom is the present world domination system engaged in hammering the earth and its people to powder and forming oppressive laws, institutions, and structures engaged in transferring money and resources up the income scale from poor to rich. Jeremiah 51:7 calls Babylon "a golden cup in the Lord's hand" that the nations have drunken of and are therefore mad, or deranged. If you view the present world political situation and its apparent inability to deal effectively with the host of political, economic, and social problems now facing the earth, you too may reach the conclusion that the nations truly are mad, deranged, and powerless to do anything about it. And why are they incapable of dealing with their many issues? It's because they define all of them in terms of monetary cost; thereby elevating money or gold to the highest of all values and people to the lowest. Yes, they speak differently, but you have to consider the outcomes of what they do in order to discern their real values.
To man, money or gold represents the highest of all values, and is certainly one of the most destructive. To God, gold is just another element, useful for making jewelry, filling teeth, and paving streets. How long will it take us to learn this lesson?

Chicken and Dumplings: The Recipe that Started it All
Where is all started...
My first memory of cooking was at my Granny's kitchen table rolling out dumplings. My Daddy told me eating dough would give you worms and it scared the dickens out of me, but I didn't it anyway because the dough tasted so good. I remember the smell of her kitchen and the way she spread flour on the dough board. The smell of chicken and celery boiling on the stove and the way she stood next to the table with her cane next to her. That was when life was simple at least it was for me...I mean I was 6. My Granny never wrote out recipes. Everything was "some of this" and "a pinch of that." So, I have spent years try to re-create her chicken and dumplings...I think I am getting closer. Here is what I made last night.
Chicken and Dumplings
2 pounds of chicken parts with bones and skin (breasts, legs, thighs)
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 cup sliced celery
1 carrot, sliced
3 tablespoons shortening
2 cups flour
Place chicken in large soup pot and cover with water. Add onion, celery, carrot, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cover and cook for 40 minutes or until chicken is tender.
Once the chicken is done you will want to remove it from the pot. Remove the skin and the bones from the chicken. Break the chicken into smaller pieces, I usually shredded the chicken. Strain broth and return broth and chicken to large pot.
Cut shortening into flour and 1 teaspoon salt with a pastry blender or fork in large bowl until dough is pea-size. Add 9 tablespoons of ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time and mix lightly with fork.
On floured surface, roll dough thinly. Remember to to keep your rolling pin well floured. Cut dough into strips and lay on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Chill for 45 minutes.
Bring broth and chicken pieces to a boil. Drop strips into boiling broth and chicken pieces. DO NOT STIR! You can jiggle the pot or shake the pot, but stirring will break up the dumplings. Cook on medium for 30 minutes.

Subject: "Hardworking" Boys
Before you are too overwhelmed with the awesomeness that made the boys work, I must note one disclaimer. The effects of this said tractor/trailer combo wears off quickly. You may only get one actual load of branches and debri into said combo before all actual work ceases and fun time begins. But hey, I can't complain, if they are working at all, that is a HUGE plus for us!
Now our only trouble will be keeping that little tractor filled with gas. This may prove to be an expensive chore!

(Message given at Newberg Friends Church on October 2, 2016)
You may or may not have noticed that things are very politically charged and volatile right now.
You may or may not have noticed that issues in our church and denomination are a bit charged and volatile right now.
I've noticed! And it affects me. When I read the bible, or when I am thinking and praying about what we should focus on for Sunday mornings, I find my thoughts often go to how this applies to our current situation as a nation or as a church. That isn't necessarily bad, but it can lead to more and more tension and division and, frankly, high blood pressure. For me and for everyone.
We were talking about this when we were planning worship this week, and it was Michelle Akins who said: "What I want is for the fruit of God's Spirit to grow in me." And I thought, yes! Me too!
Today, we'll look at one of the beautiful pictures Jesus described for his disciples in John 15…the image of us being branches drawing all our life from Jesus, the vine of life.
Next week, we'll look at Paul's letter to the Galatians, where he lists what we call the fruits of the Spirit. In the midst of a charged and volatile world and church, we can be people who are alive, who are drawing life from Jesus. We can be ones in whom God does a work of transformation that bring love and joy and peace.
Turn with me to John 15
'I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
'I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
'As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.' (John 15:1-12, TNIV)
I leased a new car almost a month ago.
In some ways, it was a rather impulsive decision for me, although I'd been thinking about something like this for a couple of years. We went out to lunch after church with a group of people, and I ended up sitting next to Corwynn Beals. He started talking to me about this new car he got. He got his car because our friend Kirk Mylander had also gotten it, and Corwynn had convinced the Petersons and the Winters to get one as well.
It's an all-electric Chevy Spark. Mine's white, just like this, although I pulled this picture off the internet. It's completely electric-it doesn't use any gas at all, and the reason all of us got it is it only costs $99 a month to lease it. No gas on top of that, no oil changes…and electricity here in the Northwest is quite low cost, making these very economical to drive. I love it!
But having an all-electric car makes you have to change your thinking quite a bit. The car will go over 80 miles on a full charge, way better than electric cars used to be…but quite a lot less than the 350-400 miles that my old 2001 Toyota Echo would get on a tank of gas.
For most of my days, just here around Newberg, there is no downside to an electric car, and all upside. It drives better than my old car, is better for the environment, more safety airbags, bluetooth for my phone and music. Aubrey and I love that I can start it from my house in the morning and warm it up before we have to get in the car. For most days, there is no downside at all.
But, if I need to go to Beaverton or Portland…I have to think differently. How many miles is it? Will I have to find a public charger? Your mind is pretty constantly focused on how many miles the car can go before it dies, and where you can plug in next to recharge.
This is my life now.
We've started having these group texts, where we share about new charging stations with each other! You discover all these resources that were completely invisible to you before.
There's a website and app called Plugshare, where you can find all the places where you can charge. This is important because they are all on different networks, and if it weren't for this app you'd have to go to six different websites to check for a place to charge.
When you can only go a limited amount of miles, and there are far less chargers than gas stations, the places you can get power for your battery become critically important. Once I got home with only 6 miles left of range in the battery, and my scariest one was driving home after midnight after my 30th high school reunion and pulling in with 3 miles left to go. I haven't got stranded yet, but I am hyper aware now of how important a charge is to my car.
The other reason it's such a big deal is, it only takes like 5 minutes max to get your car filled with gas… while with an electric car, the refill time is much longer. At first, all I had was what they call the Level 1 charger that they sell with the car. This plugs into any normal 110 volt outlet like we have anywhere, which is convenient…but slow. When I had drained the battery to only 6 miles left and used that 110 volt charger, it took over 15 hours to charge the battery back to full.
So one of the game changers was when I used a rebate from leasing the car to get a Level 2, 220 volt charger and install that at our house. This is awesome! When I drained the battery down to only 3 miles left and plugged it into this one, I woke up the next morning and it had fully charged in just over 6 hours.
This car has become my new spiritual practice!
Here's what I mean: in so many new ways, I'm reminded that the car is not self-sufficient. It is completely dependent on being plugged into a good power source, as frequently as possible. Of course, my old gas car was too, as is yours-if you run out of gas, your car isn't going anywhere. But the short range of an electric car forces me to always be reminded of how important being connected to a power source truly is.
And there is where the spiritual practice comes. Thinking again this week about John 15, about Jesus as the vine in whom we abide and remain, I am it a spiritual practice that when I think about how important a charge is to my car, I will remember as well how important connection to Jesus is for me.
John 15 has long been an important part of the bible for me.
But what's been transformed as I've looked at it this week is a recovery of the incredible good news that John 15 is. To be honest, my mind quickly jumped in John 15 to the pruning and the cutting off of branches. Without a doubt, there is something important in those images that Jesus is trying to communicate, and I'll deal with those in just a minute.
But, my goodness, there is something so joyful here! Joyful in the same way that I am when I realized I was going to make it home before my battery ran out of juice, that I was going to be able to plug it into that beautiful, wonderful Level 2 charger!
The heart of Jesus' message is, "I am the vine, and you are the branches." I am your source of life! I am where your energy and growth come from! Tap into me, pull your nutrients from me.
If I were use my car as an example to write a paraphrase of John 15, I would have Jesus saying: "I am the FREE Level 2 charger, and you are the depleted battery!"
This is life changing and great news!
The promise that Jesus is making to us is so good, so needed, so positive in this tense and turbulent world. "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit." It's a powerful offer of hope to each of us who wants to be known as a disciple of Jesus Christ. We have access to power, life changing power, access to someone who can bring out of us fruit and transformation that is for the good of others and for the good of the whole world.
"No branch," Jesus says, "no branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine." Some translations say "abide" instead of remain. It's a word that definitely means a lasting connection, drawing all the nutrients from, abiding and remaining and being connected to the source of life.
Here's another way, maybe, that the electric car model can be a spiritual practice or teacher. You can drive 80 miles in about an hour and a half, but even with my new Level 2 charger, that would require 6 hours of recharging to be able to go and drive that hour and a half again.
More time is needed connected to the charger than out driving and doing the work.
When I thought of that image, it was like a big finger pointed right in my own face. I don't model that when it comes to the spiritual life. I don't model taking more time to be connected to Christ than in doing the work.
Part of that, to be fair, is a fault in the analogy. I love the famous book by Brother Lawrence that is hundreds of years old now, where he talks about practicing the presence of God while washing the dishes, while cooking and cleaning, while going about your daily life. There is great truth to the fact that "plugging in" to Jesus does not only have to come when we are NOT doing anything else; we can pay attention to, draw energy and life from Jesus any time and all the time.
Yet there is another part to Jesus' words that rightfully challenge us. We so often live life go-go-go, thinking we can do it on our own, forgetting that true life and transformation is found in a living, vibrant connection with the living God. We need to be reminded that Jesus IS our source for life and transformation!
What does it look like to draw from the vine? What does it look like, in the spiritual sense, to "plug into" Jesus our power source?
Let's take just a minute or two to shout out ideas. We've done things like this before, and it isn't overwhelmingly complex. There are many ways to draw life from, to pay attention to Jesus. Yet we need to remind each other of them, we need to choose to actively remain and abide in Jesus, for our own health and good. So let's share a few with each other: what does it look like for you to draw life and sustenance from Jesus the true vine? What activities help you do that? [ASK]
The good news here is that we can do things which plug us into Christ and give us life. The reality here is that when we don't, we really don't have much range on our own. There is a removal and a pruning of the things in our lives that die when they have lost connection to Jesus the life.
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener."
God is at work tending the whole garden, all of creation. There is a removal of the parts that have lost their life-giving connection to Jesus. Raymond Brown, one of the most respected scholars on the book of John writes: "For John, love and keeping the commandments are so much a part of the life coming from faith that one who does not behave in a virtuous manner does not have life at all. Life is committed life."
There's clearly a strong call to commitment here that Jesus is making, commitment to himself that is serious and life-altering. At the heart, it is the good news that power and life come from Jesus, and there should be no taking that for granted.
Just as clear is the fact that it is God who removes branches and prunes. Other branches are not given that job; and we are all branches, all dependent on Jesus the vine. This strong call to commitment does not mean I look around to figure out which of you deadweight branches I should get rid of! This strong call to commitment is for each of us to connect to Jesus in such a profound way that our life, our direction, our goals, our values come from Christ. My commitment is to connect to Christ, not prune the whole plant.
Do you remember that science experiment a lot of us did in grade school?
You take a white carnation flower, and you put it in a jar that has water and food coloring in it: red, yellow, green, whatever. When you come back the next morning, you see the roots have drawn that color up into the flower. It's a vivid illustration for us. The things we consume, the ways we spend our time, the things we watch and read…we draw them into us, and they color us. They shape us. They define in many ways what our values become.
This principle is what Jesus is talking about, and it's true. In real life, things are quite as simple and black and white as the grade school experiment. I was listening to a podcast a couple of weeks ago about the network of roots beneath a forest. Roots from different kinds of trees are connected to each other, and scientists are discovering more and more ways everything is interconnected and interconnected, how good nutrients and bad pollutants and pests alike get shared in this complex life that goes on underground.
They've discovered the way fungii play a role, all kinds of fascinating things…but the bottom line is, it isn't easy to find a "pure" source of tapping into Jesus, the vine. We'll find that sometimes American values creep in and shape us, for instance. I don't say that to discourage us from trying to draw everything from Jesus! I just mention it so that we are aware that real life can be complicated.
But the bottom line is this: Jesus is rightly teaching us that he is the source of all good life, and we should aim to draw from him, so that good fruit is the result in us.
When we do this, the result, the fruit, the transformation that is comes because of Jesus is love.
Not that I try to overlook other people's irritating things and paste on a smile and be nice. Not that I try harder to get along with other people. Not that I somehow overlook our political or spiritual differences and somehow try and create a fake bond between us.
No, I take the time to read the bible, take the time to journal, take the time to praise God out in creation…I take the time to draw everything from Jesus, and in doing so, I find Jesus remaining, abiding, living and loving in me.
The result is love. As we take time to be in God's presence in open worship, let me read again these last few verses which emphasize the love God wants to birth in you and me in this divided, charged and volatile world. May God help us be agents of light and love because we are connected to the vine!
'As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.' (John 15:9-12, TNIV)

Can't seem to find that answer in the forum, just wondering if I wanted to change or edit something if that is still possible?
Hi Elaine!
Yes, you can make changes to your courses even after they have been published. If you're looking to add new lessons I would recommend to set them as draft first. In this way you can take your time to work on them and it won't be visible to students already enrolled in the course.
Hope this helps!
When a new chapter or a lesson is added to published course, do the enrollees get notifications automaticall?
Hi Anil!
The students are not notified when a new chapter/lesson is added to the course. However, on our paid plans, you can use the mass user email to message your students at once.
Hope this helps!
Are the edits updated in the course after I save the changes or do I need to click "publish" before the changes take effect? I assume it is the same whether I make changes to the curriculum or landing page, course description, etc. Correct?
Hi Lois!
The edits are updated as soon as you save the changes. You don't have to click on publish again. One quick thing to note is that if you add a new lesson, this is first set as a draft so that you don't accidentally release it before it is ready. Once you are ready you can remove the draft option and it will be live in your course.
Hope this helps!
Am I able to edit or add to the course can I do that after the course is published?
Tank you.
Hi Donna!
Yes, you can make any changes you want to a course that is already published!
If I set a course to free so that a few friends can trial it, can I then change it so that it is a paid course, even if they are still trialing it?
Hi Belle!
Yes, you can put a price on your course even after your friends are enrolled in the course to trial it. Your friends will still have access to all the content inside the course.
I'm a teacher and I have a small academy. Would I be able to give free access to my course for any students at the academy, and at the same time charge any non-students for using the service?
Hi Liam!
You can give out 100% off coupon codes to students in your academy. Then for non-students they can sign up normally by purchasing the course on your Thinkific site.
I seem to be unable to edit my course or view it in anything but preview mode from certain browsers. Is there a plugin that might be blocked for me currently? Not sure if this is happening to others. Right now I have to jump through hoops in order to make any changes to my course.
Hi Amy!
I just checked this out and it doesn't seem to be happening on my computer, so I think it must be something specific to your browser of device. To see whether it's a plugin, please try viewing your course in an incognito or private window to see if that helps. If it works, that suggests it's a plugin causing the issue so you'll need to disable and reenable your plugins until you figure out which one.
Might you also be signing into your site with a different email address? E.g. If you're signing into an account without Site Admin properties then you won't be able to edit your site.
If you're still having problems, then please send over the details to our Support team and we'll do some further digging. We'll need to know - what happens when you try and view your site, which browsers you've tried, and which pages you're trying to view.

"Terrible experience. Treated like trash, miscommunications are rampant. Accused of no-shows when rescheduled appointments. Nearly denied service due to supposed no shows. Made to wait over an hour at one appointment because the doctor didn't show up.. " Google review of Southeast Lancaster Health Services, posted last week.
It took them four visits to get it right.
Added to that difficulty was the fact they never answer the phone or return phone messages. Not sometimes. Never. I had to travel to the clinic every time to schedule an appointment to be seen, then return a second time for the actual appointment.
Messages left on their patients' web portal were never answered either.
Ask staffers why and they just shrug, and say that's how it is. Ask them how people are supposed to schedule an appointment if they don't have a car, or are in a wheelchair, and just getting to the clinic to see the doctor or the dentist is already challenging enough for them, let alone having to physically go there just to set the appointment in the first place. Same shrug. Talk to the wall.
Additionally, SELHS doesn't schedule more than 30 days ahead. If you're there to see a doctor and want, for example, to schedule a dental cleaning appointment in five weeks, you're out of luck. You have to physically return to the clinic just to set that next appointment.
I wrote to SELHS president and CEO Hilda Shirk asking why, because I wanted answers, not for myself but for people with disabilities, or people without a motor vehicle, or who couldn't afford bus fare. How do people schedule appointments at SELHS if nobody answers the phone or returns phone messages?
She never replied.
I kept asking staffers why until someone got fed up with the questions and decided to make it personal and deny me service. I am now locked out from SELHS just for speaking up.
A couple days after receiving the letter denying me service at SELHS in perpetuity, I landed a second part-time job, boosting my income above and beyond SELHS' sliding fee scale. Which is great -- for now. But life can change in an instant. Sickness, disability, the loss of one of my jobs could once again put me in need of help. Then what?
"We deliver high-quality and compassionate healthcare to all" -- no questions asked?
While SELHS top layer is vanilla, below is chocolate: Front desk staffers and dental technicians are nearly 100 percent women of color. Men? Don't ask.

Senior KDF soldiers arrested over alleged links to terrorism
September 15, 2018 | Brainwave Science
Kenya Police arrested two senior officers of the Kenya Defence Force (KDF) yesterday for plotting an illegal transportation of firearms and ammunition from Nairobi to Isiolo in a Probox.
According to Laikipia East Officer Commanding Police Division (OCPD), Kizito Mutoro, arrested officers were found with 750 special rounds of ammunition used in AK-47 rifles. Mr. Mutoro received a tip that the soldiers were plotting an illegal firearm transport on which the police acted and found a heavy container with the weapons. Earlier the team suspected containers had explosives. The arrested soldiers, rank of senior private, were taken into custody by local law enforcement and later handed over to military police.
The police chief told media that during a joint meeting they decided that KDF should take over the matter and along with OCPD search the suspects' house and investigate. The two arrested soldiers would be handed over to the anti-terror unit if investigators found links/connection with Al Shabaab or Al Qaeda terror group, active terror group in the region.
Two weeks earlier, two men were arrested and handed over to Anti- Terrorism Police Unit (ATPU) because they were suspected of having links with Al Shabaab.
"Terrorism has become a global and household issue for Kenya and Nanyuki is of interest because it is a metropolitan town along the highway. We are vulnerable to terrorism, but we are alert. We require accurate intelligence of any suspicious strangers," said Laikipia East OCPD Kizito Mutoro.
Kenya has suffered the far-reaching effects of repeated attacks by Somalia-based Al-Shabaab and Afghanistan-based Al-Qaida terror group for years. Thousands of innocent people died, jobs have been lost and foreign direct investment has withered. There have been strong allegations as well as hard evidence that Kenya's police and military have occasionally colluded with these terrorist networks.
The most promising way to reduce terrorism in Kenya is through appropriate measures to identify terrorist from innocents, accurate intelligence about terrorist operations, planning and hideout, better border security technology and national security apparatuses.
There have been several terrorist attacks in Kenya by Al Shabaab and Al-Qaida in recent years. The terrorist groups targeted members of the Kenyan security forces and civilians. The Kenyan government should recognize the terrorist group advancement made to breach the national security and take appropriate measures to screen and identify the terrorists, sympathizers, supporter and corrupt law enforcement personnel. It is imperative that Kenya Police and Anti-Terrorism Police Unit embrace a more accurate source of intelligence to obtain accurate terrorism information- find out from the suspect's brain the source of all planning and plotting.
iCognative offered only by Brainwave Science is a scientific, guaranteed, non-invasive and easy-to-use and learn technology that can accurately determine what these soldiers know by recording and analyzing their brainwave response to specific information such as their involvement with Al Shabaab or Al Qaida, identification of their handler, other corrupted law enforcement personnel, financial details, location of terror groups, plotted plans and other vital information with over 99% accuracy. Such accurate and useful information cannot be gained through any existing investigative technology. In not more than an hour, iCognative test scientifically and accurately differentiates the terrorists from innocent without using any inhumane methods like torture that usually leads to unreliable information. iCognative further provides arrested soldiers' connection to the terror group, depth of their connection, specific information they know, how they were approached, existing members of the group and other reliable information and links that grant investigators with an accurate information especially when time is of the essence.
With the advancement made by the terrorist organization around the globe, iCognative can very well be the silver-bullet to crush terrorism through the power of brainwaves. The technology would identify new suspects, provide 100% accurate hidden links and connections that may help dismantle the whole terrorist networks in a few months. Brainwave Science's iCognative technology guarantees a high success rate and results and has a proven track record of supporting counter-terrorism agencies protect innocents and support capture terrorists, sympathizers and supporters within the country and abroad.

As the AnomalyMan on Squidoo/HubPages, I'd like to welcome you to my original URL page on this platform. At that time (in 2006) this page was called Anomalies, ParaNormal and Mind Perceptions – and featured three or four `anomalous' links for readers to browse daily. Indeed, this was one of Squidoo's original most popular pages. And, Anomalies, ParaNormal and Mind Perceptions carried on in that manner for a number of years and spawned a number of similar pages started by myself. (Look for the anomalous creature logo.) However eventually, I moved most of my daily blogging to the platform. But, I still wanted to do something special with my original page on Squidoo/HubPages – something that would do the AnomalyMan URL name proud. The prices are generally very reasonable, and although you may be able to bargain a little, haggling is not a big part of the culture. The Night Market is a great place to stock up on local crafts and support the local economy. With these natural sites nearby, it's easy to enjoy nature by using Luang Prabang as a base. When you're done exploring, return to the city in the evening for a coffee, croissant, and stroll through the Night Market.
This is one place you need to visit if you are going to Egypt for shopping. Enjoy the atmosphere that makes this Bazaar unique. There's nothing as satisfactory to a DIY guy than seeing the results of his own work. The roof and walls, along with the ceiling and bath repair, turned out great and should last for many years to come.
Great travel gifts. Thank you for sharing. I think the travel organizers are a great valuable gift. It is possible to rent cars in Russia but I wouldn't do this myself. Cities are congested with traffic and have few places to park. Very informative…I am a Registered Nurse in the Philippines but I'm presently connected with a pharma company. I have a pending petition with a US employer though. Great hub, thanks.
Choices vary in the market for lightweight trailers as they do with most things these days. Lightweight trailers can be small two-person trailers or extra long large family size campers. I'm going to feel like a pincushion! But I'll be discussing all of this with my family doctor well before the trip.
Accidents like these happen fairly often, so people need to be aware of the risks they take when they travel in recreational vehicles. There are travel blankets for airplanes, cars, camping, or just as a handy all-purpose blanket to take along. In addition, travel blankets can be cheap or expensive, heated or not, large or small.
Try out your pillow at home before taking it on a long trip, to make sure it's comfy around your neck. Achieving all of these goals is more difficult than it sounds, and much depends on where people will be going and how long their trips will be. Some are due to lack of research and effort but others are due to information a trusting individual could not possibly know.

There's a whole lot to love about fresh produce, and the adoration continues in 2018. Consumers are clamoring to learn more about fruits and vegetables and the many ways they can be prepared and enjoyed. Online searches for produce have more than tripled over the last 10 years. Most notably, searches for vegetables have increased 114% in the last decade.
And it makes sense: U.S. consumers remain focused on health and wellness, and fresh fruits and vegetables play a major role in supporting the healthy lifestyles they aim for. Consumers are also constantly seeking out new flavors, and fresh produce provides a bounty of opportunities for culinary creativity. It's no surprise, then, that produce items have been consistent fixtures in the food trends that sweep the nation each year.
5 produce trends to watch in 2018
Let's take a look at the top five produce trends to watch as 2018 unfolds.
1. Vegetable-centric cuisine
Whether they do it for health reasons or personal eating philosophies, convenience or budget, many consumers are looking for ways to incorporate more vegetables into their meals or turning to plant-based diets. They're substituting traditional center plate items for vegetables—replacing meat with vegetables, like Buffalo cauliflower or jackfruit tacos—or making produce the star of the dish, rather than a supporting character.
2. Colorful consumption
Nutritionists have been telling us to eat a rainbow of fresh produce for years, and consumers are picking up on just how great that advice is—whether it's for the health benefits or the wow factor. Vibrantly colored vegetables—like purple cauliflower, purple sweet potatoes, asparagus, and Brussels sprouts—are anticipated to be popular picks as consumers shop for pops of color.
3. Herb appeal
As consumers experiment with a wider variety of vegetables, they're using more herbs to try out new and varied flavor profiles. Fresh herbs are an easy way for consumers and chefs alike to use and transform produce items in seemingly infinite ways. Some exotic and uncommon herbs are growing by leaps and bounds: online searches for lemongrass, for example, have gone up by 40% in the last five years and 194% in the last 10. Herbs and fresh produce work hand-in hand to replicate the flavors of regional cuisines.
4. Peruvian cuisine
Peruvian cuisine has great potential to influence produce sales over the next year and beyond. For one, Peruvian restaurants have been increasingly popping up across the United States over the last few years. Secondly, online searches for Peruvian cuisine have grown by 64% since 2014. Finally, the aji amarillo chili pepper—which is grown all over Peru and a core item in the country's cuisine—is also gaining popularity. The spicy, fruity, golden-colored pepper is a frequent and hallmark ingredient that's paired with garlic and red onion in a number of classic Peruvian dishes and sauces. Other chili peppers, like poblanos and habaneros, are also trending, with 8.15% and 10.98% three-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR), respectively.
5. Broth-based entrées
Broths—savory liquids made when bones, meats, fish, or vegetables are simmered in water for several hours—have been a part of global cuisines for centuries. But recently, broths have reemerged with a fresh reputation: a versatile, flavorful, nutrient-rich base for a variety of entrées, from soups to noodle dishes and beyond. Online searches for broth are up 75% in the last decade, with vegetable-based broth searches up 85% in the same time span. Broth-based entrées deliver deeply developed flavors, and consumers are experimenting with the many flavor profiles they can infuse into broths. For example, limes and tomatoes are often paired together to give broths a unique tang and fulfilling heartiness.

With a large number of owner managed businesses as clients, the Sherrards commercial property team often become closely involved with our clients' growth and development. We enjoy their successes and do everything we can to protect their interests when difficulties arise. Our passion for our clients' success goes beyond providing the best legal advice. It's our commitment to finding and dealing with the issues that are important to our clients, which makes for the client service that I hope sets us apart.
My partner Stephanie Kierans has recently embarked on a hugely important project for our long standing client, Menkind. They will set up over 30 'pop up' shops throughout the UK in the run up to Christmas selling cool gadgets and novelty gifts. This is a hugely busy and important time of the year for Menkind and its co-brand RED5, and Stephanie's experience with and commitment to getting these 'pop ups' running is second to none.
One of my other partners, Charles Hodder has been working with award winning architects Assael for many years. Assael was in The Sunday Times British Homes Awards (Winner of Housing Project, Ham Mill, Stroud) this year having won The Sunday Times Architect of the Year in 2016. We worked with them on their move to new London premises in 2015 but their continued growth, and expansion into Assael interiors, meant we were back again in the summer helping them to take more space.
One of my key clients, Muffin Break, is currently enjoying strong growth of 14% per annum for the last three years. Having originally started in Canada, it now has over 300 stores worldwide, and more than 50 in the UK. It opened its latest new store in Chatham in the summer and has more planned. I really get under the skin of their business here and try to make sure I am one step ahead of them when it comes to their property needs.
As far as the Sherrards team is concerned, we too have seen significant growth not least to allow us to keep up with our clients. We've moved into new offices in London and St Albans in the last 12 months. We've taken on a number of senior lateral hires and strengthened the team at all levels. The one common theme running through everyone and everything we do however is our commitment to excellent client service.
