We all feel angry sometimes. That's part of being human. Feeling angry isn't a sin. However, we need to be cautious if it happens frequently. If we have made anger a lifestyle, we are in real danger.
I'll hold my hands up – I've been angry for a long time about the death of my son. It was no one's fault. It was just a serious health issue he was born with. Those who tried to help did miracles. For the three years he was with us, we are very thankful. But small children should not die. That is just wrong.
I was never sure what to do with those feelings of frustration and hurt. For the most part I tried to block them out. I can think of times when I felt really angry about things that really didn't matter. I'm sure I was projecting my frustration and anger onto those petty situations.
The word 'anger' is one letter removed from 'danger' If you fly into a rage, you can be sure of a bad landing. When our emotions are out of control, so is our life. Anger makes our mouth work faster than our mind. We end up saying and doing things we will regret later.
Anger is like a theatre curtain ready to part for the first act of the play. Behind the curtain stand all our lonely feelings – the actors ready to perform – guilt projection, discontentment, discouragement, abandonment, despair, unending feelings of inadequacy. Anger is the curtain that hides all these feelings from the outside world.
It's easier to be angry than to deal with the real feelings because then people won't see how much you're really hurting because anger keeps people away.
Getting into a rage doesn't make us 'big' or clever. In fact, the opposite is true.
Anger and rage are really unpleasant for those around you. If you are just an angry person, who takes things out on your family and those around you instead of dealing with the real issue, you will soon be without friends and your family will look for ways to avoid you.
Anger never accomplishes what you want it to.
In addition to all of that, anger is actually dangerous for your physical health.
Emotional stress and anger trigger the release of stress hormone cortisol in the body. Small releases of cortisol can give the body a quick burst of energy.
However, higher and more prolonged increases can cause lots of negative effects.
Cortisol is public health enemy number one. Scientists have known for years that elevated cortisol levels interfere with learning and memory, lower immune function and bone density, increase weight gain, blood pressure, cholesterol, heart disease. The list goes on and on.
Anger does kill. A study in the journal 'Circulation' finds that those who explode with anger are at a greater risk of strokes and sudden death.
Chronic stress and elevated cortisol levels also increase risk for depression, mental illness, and lower life expectancy.
So what can we do?
If we don't deal with the cause of our anger, we end up projecting that anger onto other people and situations.
After years of feeling overwhelmed by past hurts I think I have somehow come to terms with my grief and anger. Life is a bit poo sometimes. That's just how it is. Time to move on.
Better to make some new happy memories with those we still have than waste our life with rage.
We do have a choice. We don't have to be angry. We can change.
What is the root of your biggest frustration? Does it come out as anger to those around you sometimes?
If so, what are you going to do about it?
My friend Paul McGee has a lot of helpful advice on this issue. Check out his books or watch his short videos at SUMO (Shut Up Move On).
Whatever you do, do something! Don't let anger become a lifestyle!

Avoid Kodak moments
A quick glance at nature now and then will tell us that living things are always growing and changing. The world changes. Society changes. Our lives change from one season to the next.
When I left school (years ago!) someone advised me to get a job with a big successful company and work for them for life. That was the route to security apparently. But since that conversation those jobs have all evaporated. Big companies have downsized and reduced employees to a bare minimum.
Wiser advice today would be to work out what your gifts and skills are, develop them, and then see who is willing to pay you to do those things. And it may be several people or jobs rather than just one these days.
One danger with success is that it feels so good we don't want that season to change. But it will, so get ready.
Kodak dominated the photographic world for over one hundred years. It had a 90% market share of photographic film sales in America. Almost everyone used the brand.
What followed was a colossal story of failure and missed opportunities. Kodak was a gigantic casualty in the wake of digital photography – a technology that Kodak invented!
Kodak engineer Steve Sasson invented the first digital camera in 1975. But it was filmless photography, so management's reaction was, 'That's cute, but don't tell anyone about it.'
As a result the company entered into decades of decline, unable to perceive and respond to the advancing digital revolution.
In 2012 Kodak filed for bankruptcy.
Simple steps to avoiding your Kodak moment:
Understand your passion
Kodak's leaders thought they were in the film business – instead of the image business. They misunderstood the essence of who they were. When you boil it right down, what is your passion in life? Write it down. Stick it on your fridge.
Embrace change
Kodak thought their success was fixed. Life and technology are changing all the time. They made a lot of money from selling film so it was hard for them to think of a world where no one used film.
How is your world changing? What trends are happening in society? True, we don't always want to be following the crowd but, if a sea-change is going on that affects you, shouldn't you try and understand it?
Don't be paralysed by fear
Kodak was so afraid of losing their lucrative film sales they buried their head in the sand. Don't cling to the past when the past way of doing things is already passing away. Find someone who knows about the new way and learn from them.
Take some risks and experiment
In 1994, in my spare time, I set up a charity to develop my work in Africa and the UK. I wanted to see lives transformed and people rescued from poverty. Four years later, in 1998, my job contract came to an end. I was about to lose my home, which went with the job, and my monthly income.
I decided to try and go full time with the charity I had founded. I'm glad I experimented and set up the charity four years previously. I didn't have to start from scratch. Although it was a big risk and a scary time, it worked. We now employ three people and are not only still viable but also still growing, these seventeen years later.
As we start 2015, is it time to do an audit of where you are going in life?

End of the year as we know it
Well limbo is coming to an end – those few days between Christmas and New Year. As Ian McMillan put it:
'At the tail end of December, the days huddle together for warmth.'
– Ian McMillan
I don't know how you feel about 2014 but I have mixed feelings about it.
Several friends were diagnosed with life threatening cancer in 2014. So there has been lots of prayers and visits to different parts of the country. So far so good.
This in turn made me get myself checked out. I'm not very good at going to the doctor – I average one visit every decade. But this time my visit turned into blood tests, scans and having a camera shoved up my rear end!
Fortunately, it turned out I only have a slight problem with my prostate but nothing serious. Old age apparently.
But remembering that gratitude increases happiness, what am I thankful for in 2014?
At the beginning of May I finally gave up alcohol. And in September I gave up caffeine. These were two things I'd been trying to do for years, so well done me! (Pats self on back).
(By the way – if you want to quit alcohol all together but you are finding it hard or impossible, I can recommend Jason Vale's book Kick the Drink Easily! Lots of people think they could just stop if they wanted to, but find it's a lot harder than they think!)
In November I began keeping a food diary again, which is the only way I've found to lose a bit of weight.
I took more exercise this year specially cycling to work more.
All that has given me an increased feeling of health and wellbeing, so I plan to stick with all of those things.
These are things I sometimes have as New Year resolutions and then fail to achieve.
Resolutions never work unless we are prepared for a change of lifestyle.
Dieting for a coupe of months achieves nothing, if we just go back to unhealthy eating at the end of it.
As ever, I am very grateful for a loving family and the friends I have, and all the great supporters for the work we do in Africa and the UK.
I want to continue to take more simple steps to improve my life every month, so that the accumulated effect of these simple steps becomes transformational.
I'll be putting together a FREE e-book and also publishing a more substantial book on Simple Steps to Improve Your Life in 2015.

Happy New Year! All the best for 2015!
Taking charge of your email
There's a big problem with email. It constantly distracts us from what we were doing. It wastes thousands of hours of productivity by interrupting our train of thought.
Many people allow email to act like an untrained puppy – yapping and jumping up any time it likes. It poops all over the place and leaves us to clear up the mess.
If you don't take control of your email, your email will take control of you.
I know there are some jobs out there where people are employed to reply to emails as quickly as possible, perhaps they are the exception. But even so this simple step will help most people take control of unruly email.
Here are a few simple steps I use for email:
1. Switch off automatic email delivery
Some email programs are set to check for email every five minutes! That means every five minutes you could be interrupted by emails that could easily wait.
Our paper mail comes in one bundle every morning around the same time. It gives one interruption. If we are not in it sits and waits on the mat. We open it when it's convenient.
Now imagine that the mailman brought each letter separately and knocked on the door ten times a day. I would find that really irritating. But that is exactly what most people's email does!
So here's the thing. I have switched my email to manual delivery. That means the app only checks for email when I ask it to.
And I only ask it to check for mail once or twice a day – normally first thing in the morning and late afternoon.
It is hard to think of any email being so important that it can't wait half a day to be read.
That's my personal email. My office email only gets checked once a day on the three days I am in the office, and normally around 10:30am.
2. Set up an auto-responder if you have to
Set an auto response that says something like, 'Thanks for your email. To increase productivity email is only read early morning and late afternoon. If your message is extremely urgent and really can't wait a few hours to be read, please text my cell phone 000-0000-0000.'
Most people won't text you because 99.99999% of all email is never that urgent.
So instead of your email beeping and putting little read badges on its app icon, distracting you from what you are really working on, just check it once or twice a day.
If you had a puppy that was being disruptive you would quickly train it and put some real boundaries on it. Soon the dog would know to only poop outside, not to jump up all the time, and to stay on its bed when told to. It would know there was a set time for walks.
It is time to put a leash on your email and give it a strict routine so that you are in control, rather than it controlling you.
What about you? How do you control your email?
Keep being you and keep doing what you love
Do you ever feel guilty just by being you? Do others express impatience with you when you are just trying to be you?
Let me explain. I've loved writing since I was fourteen years old and my Dad brought home an old fashioned black typewriter. I loved the clackety-clack sound of the keys as I typed. I loved the black and red inked ribbon. I wrote bad poetry and poorly written stories. But I wrote because I like to write.
When I grew up I had to go out to work. I had to do things that earned money to pay the bills. I worked in a factory, in a shop, in a community center, in a church and finally I started a charity to help some of the poorest people in the world. All those things earned me just enough money to keep my head above water. But no one paid me to write. I had to fit my writing in around other things. I wrote some booklets and finally published my first book.
All my life, other things have pushed my writing onto the sidelines. Sometimes I was busy trying to save the whole of Africa but really was just building an orphanage or a school or starting a feeding program for street kids. All those things take time and, once you start them, you have to see them through.
From time to time we all have to face the difficulties life throws at us – relationships, the end of an era, moving house, losing a job, trying to start something from scratch and so on.
It must have been during one of those times when I was feeling a bit overwhelmed and a little low. Walking and chatting with a friend of mine, the situation looked impossible. Then he said something that changed my life.
'Keep being you and keep doing what you love.'
I found that a very profound statement because the more I thought about it the more it made sense. When we are just being ourselves and doing what we love, it brings energy to our whole being. A photographer spending a day taking photos will find energy and joy in what they are doing. A painter likewise will come alive if they can spend a few days painting.
My best days are days like today, when I have marked a day in my diary to just be alone and write. It refreshes me. I used to have to take a day off to do this. But now I manage my own time, it's not a day off, it's a day 'on'. It has taken me years to reach this point.
I'm not sure I have ever made any money from writing but writing leads to other things. Money is not the whole point. If we only focus on money, it will crush our creativity. But if we keep being who we are and keep doing what we love, we'll get better at it and one day, maybe, we'll become someone who makes money from what we do. But either way, we will be more alive, happier in ourselves, and more at peace with the world.
Having written a dozen or more books and having a few more in the pipeline, I am happy in my little writing corner. Some people ask 'How are you able to write a whole book?' Simple tip: write one page a day – between 500 and 1,000 words. Do that for 30 or 40 days and you have a book. (More writing tips on my other blog How to Publish Your Book.)
So who are you? What do you like to do?
Let me say to you what my friend said to me:
'Keep being you. Keep doing what you love.'
The four addictions
At the start of 2014 I wanted to confront four addictions in my life.
- Plastic
- Caffeine
- Alcohol
- Sugar
Why these four things? I observed that many, if not most, of us in the UK live as though these are daily essentials. They are also four things where the negative effects outweigh the perceived benefits.
Maybe you think that 'addiction' is too strong a word for our relationship to these things, and maybe it is. But the vast majority of people seem to struggle to get through the day without all four.
We are surrounded by plastic. It is a useful material and is used to great benefit in many areas of life. I've not got a problem with that.
However, we are generating millions of tons of waste from single use plastic items like water bottles and milk containers and carrier bags and… And most of it ends up in the ocean.
There is so much plastic waste in the ocean that destroys life. Fish are eating it and when we eat the fish we are eating our own plastic waste.
That's why I'm trying Plastic Free Tuesdays. It's quite hard and requires a lifestyle change. We consume a lot of sparkling water, which previously came in single-use plastic bottles. So we switched to making our own sparkling water with a Soda Stream gizmo – one small example of how we have reduced our plastic waste. We are still working on this addiction.
Like most people, I really thought I needed that hit of caffeine first thing to crank up my body to face the day. But caffeine is a strong addictive drug. It is the fact that we are addicted to it that makes us think we 'have to have it.'
Caffeine is in coffee but it's also in tea – lots of teas not just 'normal' tea. It's also in cola drinks and most energy drinks.
It might come as a surprise that caffeine is not just an addictive drug, it's also a model drug of dependence
Caffeine is produced by more than seventy-five plants, which use it as a pesticide. That's right – a pesticide! When we consume caffeine, our body thinks that some kind of emergency is happening. It floods itself with dopamine, epinephrine, cortisol, and acetylcholine. That's what gives us that feeling of stimulation and being wide-awake and alert.
It takes about 24 – 36 hours to come off this drug so, if you are a daily consumer, prepare for a serious pounding headache for a whole day. Once you are off the drug, you'll feel calmer, happier and less irritable. I quit thirty-six days ago and I'm not planning to go back. I no longer wake up with caffeine cravings and I can even have a cup of decaf right before bedtime and it doesn't keep me awake.
I know I'll have very few takers on this one! But… the whole nation has been brainwashed about this drug. A few facts:
- Each year more than £800 million is spent on advertising alcoholic drinks in the UK, with the global estimate approximating $1 trillion.
- In 2013 the UK government made £10.5 billion in tax on alcohol.
- Average alcohol consumption has gradually fallen in many OECD countries between 1980 and 2009 with an average overall decrease of 9%. The United Kingdom however, has seen an increase of over 9% in these three decades.
For me, the thing was that alcohol is a big fat liar!
It's a lie that it helps us relax – if alcohol caused us to relax then, when two drunks get into a fight on a Friday night, we would give them some more alcohol to calm them down… We associate it with relaxation because we often consume it in relaxing situations, and in moments when we are in relaxation mode.
It's a lie that it 'takes the edge off.' If there is an edge, it was probably caused by the effects of alcohol the previous day. A healthier diet can produce a steady feeling of calm.
As I said, I'm not expecting a queue to sign up to this one(!), but having eliminated it from my life 198 days ago, I have to say that life is better. So many are cranking themselves up with caffeine in the morning and then calming the feelings of irritablilty that causes in the evening, by using alcohol numb their feelings. This pendulous swing in our metabolism places stress on the heart and other organs.
If, like some people I know, you have a small glass of something once a year if you remember to, then it isn't an issue you need to think about.
Here is the one I thought would be easiest and has proved to be the most addictive and difficult drug to kick. Our body needs some sugar and we can get the healthy version of this from things like fruit and honey. It's the refined sugar that we get addicted to, and some have suggested it's as dangerous as heroine.
Now the point of this blog is to suggest simple steps to improve your life. Tackling these three big beasties all in one year is a huge challenge. Also it may be possible to restrict or reduce them rather than giving up all together. So maybe pick the one that you think will be the easiest for you and see if you can go a week, a month, or a whole year without it.
I'll let you know when I manage to kick the sugar (and the plastic!).
How many of these would you struggle to let go of?
No one remembers the half time score
Some days are a bit poo. Nothing really works, someone yells at us, someone else doesn't bother to turn up to an appointment you made.
Some days are devastating. A relationship breaks down, you lose your job or your house.
So here are two steps to improve your life:
If today is just a bit poo, embrace it – the day not the poo! Some days are a bit like that and we all have them. Don't waste too much emotional energy being frustrated by things. There's a new day coming tomorrow and it probably won't be as poo as this one was. In fact, it could be one of those days when everything goes right. So, do your best and know that tomorrow is a new day.
If today is devastating, that's a different thing. Years ago I was chatting to a man whose wife had left him. The kids stayed with him but all he could see was that everything was finished. It was all over. The pain of his situation told him so. I didn't know him that well so I wasn't emotionally attached but I did empathise with his situation. It was awful.
But from where I sat, this was only a half-time defeat. He was young, good looking, motivated and a great Dad by the sound of things. He couldn't see a way forward.
I said to him, 'No one remembers the half-time score.' He thought for a moment and hope seemed to flood his face. He repeated the saying.
'That's really powerful!' he said.
That was years ago. He's doing really well now. His marriage was over and that was devastating, but everything wasn't over. He moved on to a better life after that day one step at a time.
I don't know what you are facing right now, but no one will remember the half-time score in your life either. Until the final whistle blows, there is a new day to make a difference.
Make a few plans to improve your future. That's a much better use of the limited emotional energy we get each day. Don't waste that energy on frustrations and regrets.
The best is yet to come.
'Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?'
– Jesus

…and a quiet tension settled on the impatiently waiting fan base.
MAN, y'all are quiet this week, with just four days until we get the ball rolling.
That's four days in Detroit and Seattle, but it'll be down to three in Germany by the time I get this posted. It's part of the troubles of being a writer working with time travel.
Meanwhile, Golobart and Bruno Nascimento were apparently working on their Village People Karneval costume?
But, trust me, I'm with you all, spiritually. I'm completely excited for the match in Dresden, while also a bit apprehensive about how the team will fare with their new coach, players, and system. You can't have such a large overhaul and hope for no bumps along the way, but I'll feel a lot better if match day one is not one of those bumps. Dresden may be a tough venue, but they are imminently beatable, even in their stadium. I'm trying to favor cautious optimism in this case.
Moving on…
- Again, it's Effzeh.com coming through in the clutch in the run-up to kick-off, launching a series columns from various experts on the club responding to the question, "Promotion – yes or no?"
The name of the series is "The one-eyed among the blind." That alone has to get your attention, doesn't it?
Granted, the pieces are in German (update: I have it on good authority there may be an English entry into the series!), so you may need to utilize Google Translate, which should get you close enough to your native language for you to make heads or tails, should you not Deutschen.
Today's entry comes from Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger sportswriter Philip Sagioglou.
Should you NOT wish to translate the entire thing (which I recommend), I can summarize by telling you Sagioglou seems to be of the opinion that the organization of the front office and the talent available should be enough for 1. FC Köln to play among the league leaders, but questions certainly remain as to how well some of the newcomers will perform and as to what impact the coaching turnover will have, especially in the season's early stages, which, as we all know, were ultimately the largest issue last year.
But go read it. Please.
- The dearth of interesting material on Tuesday has led me to return to a few items I left out from the weekend, which brought me quickly to Peter Stöger's Facebook post from Sunday. The coach spoke of the excitement of the coming season, praising the team for completing the summer run of test matches without suffering a defeat, but pointing out that, again, the first half in Mallorca featured some play he didn't favor.
In mentioning Saturday's match in Dresden, Stöger spoke of his "old friend" Peter Pacult, the man took charge of Dynamo's sidelines last December and successfully guided them through a relegation battle with third-league VfL Osnabrück at the end of the season, keeping Dresen in the second league.
Of course, I had to research this. In doing so, I learned both Pacult and Stöger are natives of Wien with football careers that are somewhat similar, though don't completely mirror one another. They shared the pitch at least a few times as Austrian internationals in both World Cup- and European Championship-qualification matches. They each played for FK Austria Wien, FC Wacker Innsbruck, and SK Rapid Wien, though played in clubs only as opponents. Pacult has more experience in Germany, having played and coached at 1860 München, while Stöger stayed in Austria his entire playing career and, until now, his managing career.
Perhaps most of you knew this, but I found it a nice tangental bit of news. So, if it's also news and interesting to you, enjoy.
Otherwise, Stöger was clearly impressed with the atmosphere at the season-opening festivities, marvelling at the 25000 in attendance as something he'd "never experienced in my long career, neither as player nor coach," and ending the note with "the anthem was awesome."
Before that, though, the coach wanted to repeat his continued buffer against the insane expectations of a rabid fan base, knowing that it would be insane to promise they will "win every match or shine in every encounter."
Stöger did make one promise, however:
"I can assure you that every fan will get the feeling that each individual and, above all, we as a team will have given everything every time."
I can live happily with that. You?
- If you want more fun with the two Austrian Peters coaching second-league teams playing one another this weekend, head over to Express for an interview with the former teammates.
Of note would be the two men's response to the question as to how the match will go on Saturday. Pacult said that he doesn't bet or make predictions, but that he hopes for a good effort in front of a stadium full of great fans. Stöger says, "I hope for a win for my team."
Stöger 1, Pacult 0
- Apparently, Domic Maroh had a few thousand cards to autograph today. I suppose there are worse things to do on a Tuesday night. I guess hand cramps aren't that bad for footballers, eh?
Lefty? Who knew?
- The Twitter-based Effzeh fan club #SektionTwitter started a match-prediction group on Kicktipp.de with the posted rules in English, should you wish to play along. It would appear you will have to register to participate, but that's a small price to pay for some added fun during the Bundesliga season. Do this!
As I said earlier, it's a light day. Soon enough, we'll be submerged in the season, and I'll be overwhelmed by trying to keep this contained to readable length. Of course, that assumes that any length whatsoever if being found to be 'readable."
Bis dann,
euer American Geißbock!

British house cats fascinated by 'Big Cats' documentary
Published in Cats & Dogs News
(UPI) Twitter users tuning into BBC documentary Big Cats shared photos of their unexpected viewing companions -- "little cats."
The first installment of the BBC One's nature documentary series aired Thursday night, and fans took to social media to share photos and videos of their pet cats -- or "little cats," as some viewers called them -- transfixed by the images of their much-larger cousins.
Some particularly rude felines were photographed sitting directly in front of the TV.

Twitter users pointed out that it wasn't just their cats fascinated by the documentary: dogs were also photographed getting in on the fun.Copyright 2018 by United Press International

Watching language bloom in a child is a wonder. No lessons, no stack of "Conversational English for the Modern Toddler" programs, no study abroad semesters. Just a tiny mind exploding with growth, soaking up the sounds and goings-on all around. Somehow, kids put it all together. But one day you're cursing a nail that won't sink straight, when that little voice behind you echoes your mutterings, and the new phase of conversation with your child begins, starting with "Don't say that!"
We were made for immersion, absorbing information from lives around us. Molded by it. This ability was knit into us as a gift, joining us to a great continuity. But we've gotten ourselves into a bit of a predicament.
The world we inhabit has fractured considerably since the earth was the freshly spoken word of God. Where once we might have taken perfect delight in the Lord and basked in perfect work and perfect community, now we soak in a dark and hostile brew. Our sinful patterns are various—here trying to prove we don't need God, there trying to kill the very thought of Him—and they reverberate through the generations. It's a sad reality: We are the latest in a long line of people who have inherited (without even realizing it) the old and hardheaded craft of trying to usurp God and steal His seat. It's our senseless birthright. Enmity with God is our default setting—those invisible patterns of the soul that crop up as our doings and sayings—and we can't help but pass it along.
If all this makes the world seem dour and bleak and altogether in doubt, then—praise God—we might be on the verge of something new. I believe it's a work of the Spirit to open our eyes to what it means to be truly lost. Helpless. So hopeless that even our righteous acts are soiled rags (Isa. 64:6). It alerts us to the truth that the path of righteousness won't be found with a simple course correction. If we are to be transformed by the renewing of our minds (Rom. 12:2), we're going to have to interrogate our world from top to bottom, sifting wisdom from error and awakening to what we must leave behind in order to take up the way of Jesus.
I find it striking that God chose to walk among us, that of all the means available to an infinite God, Immanuel would be the route of our salvation. Jesus entered this world we are saturated with. Of course, He was rejected by the people as if an infectious germ, but in actuality what He did was infect our darkness with His light.
Where once we might have taken perfect delight in the Lord and basked in perfect work and perfect community, now we soak in a dark and hostile brew.
What Do You Want?
We can't always see the enmity we're immersed in, because we tend to notice the wrong we aren't rather than the wrong we are. What we need, then, is an ongoing conversation—one that sheds light on the unseeable seductions we thoughtlessly label as The Way Things Are. In that spirit, I say, sure, we may not spill each other's blood in the streets, but boy, do we think about it.
Our urgent need for contentment is addressed throughout Scripture. Jesus preached it pure and simple: Remember that each day has enough trouble of its own, and consider the lilies of the field. Don't dwell on lack or fear of lack; do dwell on the abundance and splendor of how God provides. But in the United States alone, advertising is a $200-billion-per-year blitzkrieg on Christ's elegant two-fold meditation. The message is constant: "Sure, you have. But, do you have better?" It's a noxious question. A huge engine in our economy is fueled by that old and diabolical insinuation: Is this good world really good enough?
This is a question, an invisible enmity, that we should resist in our gut. A consumeristic culture advertises fulfillment with each next purchase. Our closets and junk drawers, teeming with yesterday's gadgets and garb, prove we've learned the message well. Ads have so accustomed us to being customers that relationships, jobs, and even churches can grow stale. Everything is disposable. The habit of trying to eke fulfillment out of created things that will never satisfy has become a lurching, insatiable spiral of craving.
But the church can give refuge from the nauseous Tilt-A-Whirl of want, buy, get bored, and buy more. Jesus' infectious culture of contentment has the power to shake the clutter from our soul and reorient our hunger towards fulfilled satisfaction. It spins counter to the toxic cycle of more and as a result stills the heart and engenders all kinds of holiness: patience, thankfulness, the good work of renewing broken things. That's a culture I want to emulate and help pass along.

A man in Bloomington has been arrested on suspicion of cruelty to animals and possession of an illegal assault weapon, the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said.
Rene Montez, 39, was arrested Wednesday morning after detectives and deputies executed a search warrant at an address near Slover and Cedar Avenues in Bloomington, the sheriff's department said.
Officials said that warrant was served so detectives and deputies could search for evidence of a fighting game bird operation.
The Rural Crime Force worked with investigators from the California Department of Food and Agriculture and the U.S. Agriculture Department regarding Montez allegedly bringing more birds onto the property after they had already seized birds in June due to an outbreak of Virulent Newcastle Disease, the statement said.
VND is a contagious and deadly virus found in birds. It is spread between them by direct contact, coughing or sneezing or through their droppings. VND can be spread by moving infected birds, equipment or feed. It can also be spread by wearing clothing and shoes that have been in infected areas.
Bloomington is currently under a VND quarantine, and 70 birds were seized from the property, according to the sheriff's department.
The property must stay free of birds for 120 days to kill the disease. The birds were mostly roosters that were housed separately, something that is consistent with fighting bird operations, law enforcement officials said.
"The birds will be euthanized because they were injected with steroids, so they cannot be consumed," said Jodi Miller, spokeswoman for the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department.
The sheriff's department said evidence of game bird fighting implements, supplements and medications were also seized.
Officials said that an illegal AR-15 with no manufacturer or serial number was also found in Montez's room.
Montez was booked into the West Valley Detention Center and will be arraigned on Friday. His bail was set at $50,000.

Brick Termitary House Shaped by the Extreme Climate of Da Nang, Vietnam
Built in an extreme climate in Da Nang, Vietnam, the Termitary House by Tropical Space exhibits an intriguing architecture. Brick was used extensively in the overall design, inspired by the termites' special ability to build their nests in this region. The residence also pays tribute to the remains of Champa baked-brick Towers, constructed here from the 4th century to the late 15th century. Concrete ceilings and terazzo flooring in dark colors contribute to an overall sober look and feel.
According to the architects, the house was planned to have "a large sharing space in the center where a cooking counter, a dining table, and an entertaining corner are found. This lobby then leads to different functional areas in the house such as the rest room, the living room, and the bedrooms. All are connected artistically and comfortably. The mezzanine is where another bedroom, an altar room, and a small library are found. The attic is an open relaxing area with curtains of vines." All furniture was made from the timber rescued from the roof of the old house on the site. Enjoy the photos and tell us what you think!

Audio from ARC's Charleston, South Carolina Debate Victory Released Showing AAP Doesn't Know Functions of Foreskin
Filmmaker Brendon Marotta, director of the upcoming movie "American Circumcision," has very generously worked with ARC to prepare another release by GotNews.com of an audio clip from October 19, 2013, the second day of the Charleston, South Carolina debate between J. Steven Svoboda and Dr. Michael Brady of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
The audio clip demonstrates that two members of the AAP Circumcision Task Force—Dr. Brady and Dr. Douglas Diekema--do not know the foreskin's functions and incorrectly believe that no one knows them.
The Twentieth Pitts Lectureship in Medical Ethics was held on October 18-19, 2013 at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, and Dr. Brady effectively conceded defeat on the second day, stating that he was unable to respond to any of our arguments.
A special issue of the Journal of Law, Medicine and Ethics published the proceedings of the event, including an article by Svoboda, Peter W. Adler, and Robert S. Van Howe, titled, "Circumcision is Unethical and Unlawful" (http://arclaw.org/resources/articles/circumcision-unethical-and-unlawful). Two other physicians on the Charleston panel told Svoboda that they changed their positions to pro-intact based on the evidence we presented.
Find the original article and sound clip at: gotnews.com/breaking-leaked-audio-shows-potential-pro-circumcision-president-doctor-group-doesnt-know-function-foreskin/
Leaked audio from a panel at the 2013 Pitts Lectureship in Medical Ethics at the Medical University of South Carolina reveals that members of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) task force on circumcision don't know the functions of the foreskin and believe no one does.
This audio comes from the open comment period of the conference, where Dr. Michael Brady and Douglas Diekema of the AAP task force on circumcision spoke with Steven Svoboda from Attorney's for the Rights of the Child, and several other human rights activists. One of the human rights activists was asked to film the conference, but their camera was shut off after the first day. Thankfully, audio was still running, and this recording was obtained by the documentary film American Circumcision.
The same doctors' group was also revealed on GotNews to be lying about the effects of circumcision on the penis.
In the audio, Angel Alonso, a man who has his foreskin, asks the AAP if any of them know the functions of the foreskin. "I don't think anybody knows the functions of the foreskin," Dr. Michael Brady replies. Douglas Diekema agrees.
Steven Svoboda corrects both of them, citing John Taylor's ridged band study, and numerous others describing the functions of the foreskin. Dr. Michael Brady replies, "no function is lost," despite saying a moment ago no one knows the function of the foreskin.
Angel Alonso explains the functions of the foreskin to the AAP physicians – such as the gliding motion of the foreskin and the fact it does away with the need for lubrication. The AAP doctors reply that circumcised men don't need lubrication either, despite the fact the United States is the largest market in the world for personal lubricants, and also has the highest non-religious circumcision rate of any industrialized country.
Dr. Michael Brady is currently a candidate for President of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Shouldn't the potential president of the AAP know the functions of the foreskin before cutting this body part off?

My phone is pretty much a permanent part of my hand, I have it with me all the time and when I don't I feel like I'm missing…something. I'm not always on my phone, but I do always like having my phone with me. I use my phone a lot for normal things like listening to music, audiobook, watching videos, checking emails, taking pictures, etc. And while most of the apps on my fun are fun to have, I do have a few that are on my must-have lists. These are the top 10 apps that I'meither always using or can't be without.
My Top 10 Must-Have Apps:
Apple Music: Music is so important to me, I can't be without it. I had Rhapsody for years but after the latest update, it was always glitching on me and it had this bad habit of not working where I live (it wouldn't start working until I drove into the city). I've been using Apple Music for a few months and I love it! I'm always listening to music, either while I'm cleaning, cooking, doing chores, blogging, or driving, I need my music.
Hangouts: I don't ever really use the texting app on my phone because I'm not really a fan of texting. In fact, I'm a pretty terrible texter. I type awful and most of the time I forget to text people back. I got this app a few years ago and I've been hooked. I love that I can use this on my phone or computer and the 'chat style' format make it easier for me to use. I use this app so much since I'm usually always talking to my sister, my mom, my boyfriend and a few blogging friends.
Tsum Tsum: This is my latest obsession and I'm not even ashamed to admit it. I originally got this game for my kids because they love collecting the actual Tsum Tsum plushes and the first time I downloaded I ended up playing for like two hours straight. Oops. It's a little bit like Bejeweled but funner and a whole lot cuter. I actually just hit the 3 million score mark last week, which I'm pretty freaking excited about.
Camera: I'm amazed at how good the camera on this phone is (Samsung Galaxy 6+ Edge) and I've been using it to take my blog and instagram pictures lately. I love that I can take the picture and edit it directly on my phone.
Snapseed: I've played around with a few photo editing apps and this one is my favorite. It's easy and very user-friendly and I like how it makes my pictures look.
YouTube: I spend way too much time on here watching music videos, music performances and beauty tutorials. I love checking my feed every morning to see what new videos I have.
Bloglovin: This is a new favorite for me. I've always struggled with keeping up with my blog feed because it's so time consuming. Lately, I've been checking my feed and my phone app and saving the ones I want to come back to comment on by marking them as 'unread.' When I do have time to comment on my computer, my feed is clean and the posts I want to comment on are ready for me. I've been doing a much better job at commenting since I started doing this.
Kindle: I love to read, but I don't always have the time. I love having all my e-book on my app so that I can read a few pages when I have the time. It syncs between the app and my actual Kindle so I can easily switch back and both between devices.
Audble/Listen Audiobook Player: Since these are both audiobook apps, I'm counting them as one. I listen to about 3-4 audiobooks a week, I love them! For the audiobooks that I buy, I used the Audible app, for the audiobooks that I get from publishers to review I listen to them on the Listen Audiobook Player app. I also like to listen to audiobooks when I'm driving, cooking, cleaning, etc.
Instagram: I finally made an Instagram account in January and I've been really liking it. I like looking at different type of pictures of beauty products, mini tutorials, books, and fashion.
Pinterest: This is one that I really have to limit my use of because I could get sucked in a Pinterest vortex if I don't. Especially if I find any Disney related pins.
What are your favorite phone apps?

Perhaps you're really handy around the house, and enjoy taking on fix-it projects. Adding refrigerant to your HVAC system – what we call a "shot of Freon" – is definitely NOT a do-it-yourself task!
When your air conditioner is low on Freon, it means this colorless gas is leaking out from somewhere in the system (see Causes of Refrigerant Leaks). Typically, you will see ice forming on either the inside or outside unit or both. If this happens you need to turn the HVAC system off completely, wait for it to thaw out, and call an HVAC professional.
Here are just some of the many reasons why you cannot just "add a shot of Freon" to your AC yourself:
The bottom line is this: if you're cost conscious, then the best "bargain" is calling an HVAC professional when your system needs a shot of Freon.
If you live in the Nashville area, call Interstate AC Service at 615-832-8500. We'll help you with whatever ails your HVAC system.

Title: If Love - [4/?]
Author: caramelorchoco
Pairing: Leeteuk/Taeyeon, Donghae/Jessica, Kyuhyun/OC, Sunny/Sungmin,
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: I sadly do not own super junior or snsd. I do own the fictional plot.
Summary: An ongoing tale on the love life of various super junior members, learning about life and love each in their own way.
Author's note: Thanks so much for the comments! I really appreciate them. I just started college so the chapters to come may be a bit slow :( sorry but OMG YAY SUPERSHOW3 IN MALAYSIA BABY!!!
Chapter 4
Know that I cry when you tell me you love me
Leeteuk stood silently in front of Taeyeon, his hands resting on the sides of the table, forming a cage around her. He bent down to look into her eyes.
'Don't you like it?' the question escaped his lips.
'No, I do- it's lovely, Jungsoo – it's just that – how much…' she trailed off. Leeteuk smiled and gave a small chuckle.
'Yah, I don't want to be the kind of boyfriend who lets his girl worry about money.'
'Why not? I think I have a right to worry – '
Leeteuk took Taeyeon's hands into his. She looked up at him. He had just dyed his hair blonde for the new album. It looked so good on him, it made him look younger, lighter. Taeyeon wasn't even going to deny it, the man looked gorgeous.
'Please. Don't worry about the money.'
Taeyeon smiled and nodded. Leeteuk smiled back at her, revealing his dimple.
'Now come on, lets have some cake!' He took a knife and cut the cake into smaller portions, and dived into the cake with a large fork and licked the icing off it. 'You know how hard it is to enjoy a simple birthday cake when you're in Suju, every simple cake just gets smushed to your face!'
Taeyeon just stood there, watching the 27 year old enjoying his cake. It touched her how much effort Teuk had put into the whole affair. She never felt more appreciated by a boyfriend before. She took the necklace, eager to put it on.
'Eh, there's two here.'
'Yeah, the other one's for me. We can wear it when we're travelling or not with each other,' Leeteuk mumbled as he stuffed a piece of cake in his mouth. Taeyeon stood silently, her mouth dropping slightly a little.
She walked closer to Leeteuk and took a seat next to him.
Was he serious?
Matching jewelry? It's so obvious, their fans would definitely notice. It's too much of a coincidence, especially if they wear it everywhere they went. The crazy netizens would go crazy if they found out. The media would most definitely blow everything out of proportion.
It's just too much of a risk. Taeyeon looked at him with the most confused look. He looked back at her, smiling, frosting smeared on his cheek. She smiled. It's so typical of Leeteuk to ask his girlfriend to wear matching jewelry, even if she was a celebrity.
She thought it was nice to know that he had such confidence in the relationship to give her a matching necklace. It was, just nice to know.
'I know you're worried.'
Taeyeon looked at him as he said that.
'What if our fans notice or if the papers find out?' Taeyeon stayed quiet. 'It's okay, I've had those thoughts too.'
Leeteuk fixed his eyes on the cake, fiddling with the fork. He was afraid to see Taeyeon's face then. Afraid to see the expression, to see an unconvinced look on her face, to see that she had doubts about their relationship.
Because he didn't want to know that. He didn't want her to doubt their relationship. He wanted her. He knew it was selfish, he was probably doing all of this for himself without even considering how she felt and thought but it was all just so right to him.
Everything with her seems so peaceful, everything just seem to fit right into place when he's with her and he didn't want to lose that. He couldn't lose it.
'It's okay if you don't wear it, I suppose,' Leeteuk said in a low tone.
'No! No, it's okay,' Taeyeon suddenly stood up and Leeteuk followed her. They were standing right in front of each other.
Taeyeon took a hold of his left hand, holding it closely to hers. He smiled and felt the warmth of her hands in his palms. This is how it should be.
'I'll wear it, and I'll always remember of you when I wear it. I'll wear it for you,' Taeyeon promised. Leeteuk smiled, his heart bursting with happiness. He stepped in for a hug.
He held her tight in his arms. In his mind, he never really wanted to let go. In hers, she didn't really want him to.
She kissed him, she could feel herself falling in love with him but she didn't mind. She wanted to be his. She wanted to have him, even when she knew having him was the hardest thing she could do.
'Saranghaeyo Jungsu'
Leeteuk quietly shed a tear.

AUBURN – Auburn University researchers Mark Byrne and Jacek Wower have developed a way to control the release of drugs into the body and, as a result, reduce the frequency of doses and side effects from multiple medications.
Their work involves harnessing the power of nucleic acids to control the rate, release amount and delivery location of medications throughout the body.
"We anticipate tremendous benefits to the treatment of various cancers and viral infections," said Wower. "There is a need to create tailor-made treatments for these kinds of diseases because one person may respond differently to a medication than another. Medicine of the future will take into account a unique genetic blueprint of every patient, increased risks for certain illnesses and how patients respond to disease and therapy."
Byrne and Wower, along with doctoral student Siddarth Venkatesh, used tiny RNA molecules called aptamers to control the release of drugs. For each patient, the drug delivery can be set to occur at various rates or under certain conditions, including exposure to an enzyme or reaching a specific temperature. Unlike past studies, this technology is capable of delivering doses of multiple drugs at different rates or a single drug at controllable and extended rates from one medical device.
"Nucleic acids work well for controlled drug delivery because they can easily be programmed to bind therapeutics, metals, other nucleic acids and proteins," said Byrne. "Based on the patient's needs, the strength of the binding can cause drugs to release at varying rates and amounts over a certain time and can be controlled in a variety of ways."
The research team, which now includes doctoral student Padma Sundaram, is also using gold nanoparticles for targeting specific cells to deliver injectable drugs. The gold nanoparticles are biodegradable or excretable and can be injected directly into the bloodstream along with the medication. The combination could prove to be an important step for providing multiple-drug releasing carriers capable of delivering the right amount of medication at the right time.
Wower, a professor in Auburn's Department of Animal Sciences, is a biochemist who studies the structure and function of RNA molecules. For more than 35 years, he has conducted research in biochemistry, molecular biology and bioinformatics, which involves the development of techniques to solve biological problems and better understand biological processes on a molecular level.
Byrne, whose expertise is biomedical engineering, biomaterials, biomedical devices and drug delivery, is the Sanders Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering at Auburn. He is the founder and chief technical officer of OcuMedic Inc., a biomedical devices company that has created a number of innovative contact lenses to deliver medications to the surface of the eye, an improvement over standard eye drops. He and Wower recently presented their findings at the annual American Institute of Chemical Engineers meeting in Philadelphia.
Venkatesh completed his doctoral degree in chemical engineering at Auburn and is now a researcher at Rockefeller University in New York.
More information about this technology and technology transfer through Auburn's Samuel Ginn College of Engineering is available at http://eng.auburn.edu/research/tech-txrf.html

There's something about getting up on to the airy ridges of Le Marche's Sibillini mountains… Why not let someone whose passion is wandering around these mountains take care of all the details - the planning, the navigating, the food…
In the high season we're organising hiking tours every Wednesday morning in the most beautiful places in the Monti Sibillini. This all guided by an officially registered (and English speaking) guide for full or half day trips varying from light to heavy.
The top of the Monte Sibilla, with a truly magnificent view in all directions, is very accessible. This also applies to the day trip over and, passing through the Piano Grande; end of June/beginning of July it is a real floral paradise! For families with older children, the Gorge of the Fiastrone a great experience. A somewhat easier hike goes to a kind of "mini" Grand Canyon: The Lame Rosse. According to the composition of those who want to go, we adjust our tours.
At the end of the walk we always try to stop somewhere for a local lunch or a snack. Anyone can order and pay for the food to their own liking.
Some of our past guests crowned these walks as the highlight of their holiday in Le Marche. Quite some guests are a bit afraid for undertaking such a trip, but together with our guide, you will see places that otherwise you would never see!
July - August
Starting usually at around 7:00am - 8:00am. Half day of Full day. Please, register before Monday.
Depending on the chosen destination. Participants will use their own support to arrive at the starting point.

While growing up the holidays were always about mainly one thing – presents – now they are so much different. The more grown up I get, the more I care about simply the fun of the season and spending time with the people I love rather than receiving presents. I get so excited to give my parents, sister, family, and friends their gifts that I have carefully picked out and wrapped in preparation for the holidays. I care so much more about the look on their faces when they open their presents and making them feel loved and appreciated than I do about opening any gifts for myself. With that being said, I love how the holidays center around being generous. And – there are so many ways to do so. Besides the traditional way of giving gifts on Christmas morning, you can show your love for those around you and yearn to give in many special ways. Here are my favorite ways to do so.
Do something charitable – I wrote about this in a different post, but every year I sponsor a child in need through the Salvation Army's Project Angel Tree. I love picking out the perfect gifts and knowing that I am helping a child to have an exciting and special Christmas morning, just like I always had growing up. I treasure those memories and hope I am helping a child to eventually do the same. This year, I am sponsoring a four-year-old little boy and am having so much fun choosing gifts for him! He asked for books (boy after my own heart!), so I am thinking The Day the Crayons Quit, The Wonderful Things You Will Be, Dragons Love Tacos, and What do you do With an Idea?. I also always like to give mittens, socks, a winter hat, and a cozy pair of pajamas for the winter!
Give something homemade – last Christmas, I baked tons of cookies and gave them out to the doormen in our apartment building, the couple that ran our dry cleaning and package service, the woman who did my nails, my colleagues, and a homeless man that always smiled at me as I passed him walking around my neighborhood. All of them appreciated it so much as it was a simple yet unexpected gesture that brought a smile to their faces. Sometimes it is the little things that mean the most!
Give an unexpected present – you don't have to spend a lot of money to do generous and to make a difference in someone's life. Give someone who isn't expecting it a present! Last year, I gave the woman who did my nails all year a Starbucks gift card. I knew that she went for a coffee every day before work, and I wanted her to know that I appreciated her and that I loved my weekly conversations with her. She was so touched and gave me a huge hug as a thanks for the surprise. I felt so great knowing that she was genuinely touched by the gesture and the smile on her face reflected what the holiday season is really about. You don't have to spend a lot of money to make someone's day – a pair of festive socks, an extra large candy bar or candy cane, a fun mug, or any small gift can go a long way in making someone feel special.
Write cards – cards mean so much to me – much more than an actual present. I have HUNDREDS of cards saved that I've kept stowed away since I was a child (I'm a little sentimental…). Sending cards to your loved ones with a nice message in them lets them know you're thinking of them and is something that is sure to brighten your day. Even a simple boxed card with a sweet and personalized message is a meaningful gesture.
The gift of TIME – above all, be generous with your time this holiday season! Spend your time with the people you care about most, take the time to wish strangers you encounter a happy holiday season, and give yourself the time you need to relax and ENJOY this special time of year. Time goes by way too quickly – don't let the holidays pass without spending those extra moments with your grandma, get up early to have coffee in your pajamas with your mom, stay up late laughing with your sister, or spend ten extra minutes snuggling with your pup in front of the fire. I am planning on doing all of those things when I go home to Connecticut at the end of the month, and I can't wait. There could be no better holiday gift (to myself!) than to give my loved ones as much time as I have and to enjoy the season with them.

So why exactly does it foam, NPR has the answer.
Rodriguez and his team have figured out that a stiff hit on the bottle's top sets off miniature explosions inside the beer. These tiny blasts create mushroom clouds similar to those generated in the air by an atomic bomb.
"Actually, the laws of physics that control the development of these beer mushroom clouds are the same as [those that drive] the development of the cloud in an atomic bomb," Rodriguez tells The Salt. "Obviously, there's no nuclear stuff in the beer. So the source of the explosion is very different, but the mushroom cloud that you see is very similar."

Just take your time, one step at a time and don't get crazy like I did with the lawnmower. It will eventually work out. Just think it through in a progressive slow way. (I have a slight allergy to grass).

(MY daughter did her DNA finally. It showed she is European (British and Germanic mostly like me). Her father bragged since I can remember that he was an Indian. It was a big deal. So she gets annoyed with me for being called an Indian all her life. Hey! I told her she should talk to her father. What do I know. I told her that in the old days when people were adopted like her father's father, they often did not know what they were and sometimes made things up. So there you are.)

It's just like that woman on t.v. who did her DNA. She said she always told everyone she was Hispanic and her DNA showed she was from various countries in Europe.

But I have everyone beat. The woman in the family I was switched to told everyone I was a negro. Her mother said Indian and that I should marry someone like myself. Then they decided my father was from Cuba and they were going to take me there. Well, I got to know a lot of people like who I was supposed to be. But my DNA said None of the Above. Not evenJewish like my adopted father who was half. So you can't tell by looking at someone. The handsome policeman in Alabama just starred at me when in my I.D. Picture I had to dye my hair black and perm it kinky curls in a fro because my hair was really limp, fine brown like a white persons. He was really taken back by my explanations but what did know.

I told the policeman that my skin was too white and I did not look good in a fro. And the blond policeman did not know what to say.

Little Joe
S chool of A viation M edicine
"Sam, a rhesus monkey, was one of the most well known monkeys of the space program. His name was an acronym for the U.S. Air Force S chool of A viation M edicine at Brooks Air Force Base, Texas. He was launched on December 4, 1959, housed in a cylindrical capsule within the Mercury spacecraft atop a Little Joe rocket in order to test the launch escape system (LES). Approximately one minute into the flight, traveling at a speed of 3685 mph, the Mercury capsule aborted from the Little Joe launch vehicle. After attaining an altitude of 51 miles, the spacecraft landed safely in the Atlantic Ocean. Sam was recovered, several hours later, with no ill effects from his journey. He was later returned to the colony in which he trained, where he died in November 1982 and his remains were cremated.
Miss Sam, another rhesus monkey and Sam's mate, was launched on January 21, 1960, for another test of the LES. The Mercury capsule attained a velocity of 1800 mph and an altitude of 9 miles. After landing in the Atlantic Ocean 10.8 miles downrange from the launch site, Miss Sam was also retrieved in overall good condition. She was also returned to her training colony until her death on an unknown date."
Mission Information:
Sam, a rhesus monkey named after the Air Force School of Aviation Medicine, was launched into space on board the first Little Joe animal flight on December 4, 1959 at 11:15 from Wallops Island, Virginia. The Little Joe program was a part of Project Mercury intended to test equipment that would be used in future manned flights and to investigate the effects of high accelerations. The couch and restraint apparatus for Sam were designed to provide protection from the high accelerations he would experience during the flight, while allowing his arms to move freely. Sam travelled 55 miles into space, reaching a maximum altitude of 280,000 feet on his journey. Sam's capsule was recovered two hours after launch by the USS Borie in the Atlantic Ocean off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. After the flight, Sam was taken to Langley Air Force Base, Virginia where he was reunited with Miss Sam. Sam's veternarian was quoted as saying, "The reunion was almost human.""

Review: 'Animal Farm' ditches clever Orwellian satire for broad comedy
Jeff Cottrill
Toronto - A few people have given me strange looks when I've told them that I find "Animal Farm" to be a very funny book. Those who've read George Orwell's story in school might remember a dark, violent political satire, not a zany giggle fest.
Over 200 theaters to show Orwell's '1984' to protest Trump

Paul Greengrass to direct adaptation of George Orwell's '1984'
Sarah Gopaul
'The Bourne Ultimatum's Paul Greengrass will direct an adaptation of George Orwell's dystopian classic, '1984,' which some may say parallels are own authoritarian future.
Op-Ed: How close are we to 1984?
Justin King
With every step in the march towards tyranny, some muffled voice in the media decries the move as "Orwellian." It happens so often that George Orwell's novel may have lost its power as a cautionary tale.

Op-Ed: Edward Snowden warns of loss of privacy in Christmas message
Eileen Kersey
Moscow - Whistle-blower and former NSA analyst Edward Snowden remains holed up in Russia. From Russia Snowden has sent a Christmas message to those prepared to listen. It is a warning about an increasingly totalitarian future unless we heed the warning signs.
Op-Ed: Obama to cut spying under pressure from tech giants
Robert Weller
A day after the world's tech giants scolded the White House for letting NSA spying reach Orwellian levels the White House released a report suggesting reforms.
Op-Ed: Who's ultimately to blame for spying — the NSA or the CEO?
Craig Boehman
The new colonization paradigm aims to conquer the kingdom of individual privacy. Privacy is a recent phenomenon in human society, and it is the last frontier that even kings and armies have failed to conquer.
Orwell's birthday celebrated with party hats on surveillance cams
Anne Sewell
Utrecht - The famous author of "Nineteen Eighty-Four", George Orwell, would have turned 110 on June 25, 2013 if he was still with us. Two Dutch artists found the perfect way to celebrate his birthday in the current surveillance climate.
Op-Ed: A left-wing view of George Orwell
Alexander Baron
George Orwell is rightly regarded as one of the greatest literary figures of the Twentieth Century. Needless to say, not everybody is impressed with his terrible insights into human nature and the threat of the all-controlling state.
Op-Ed: Hurricane Sandy -- Hints of Orwellian Agendas
André R. Gignac
New York - Instructions and orders issued by the authorities before Hurricane Sandy slammed the East Coast had overtones of Orwellian intentions, and the public shaming of free will could be a sign of things to come.

Mindy Allan

Op-Ed: New 'Eye Think' tracking analyses you while you read
Paul Wallis
Sydney - If you're looking for cyber tyranny, you really can't go past technology that analyses your eye movements and therefore sees what you're reading. In theory, it analyses what you're thinking about when reading, hence my name for it, "Eye Think"
Op-Ed: Hey thought leaders! Can you think? Like, at all?
Paul Wallis
Sydney - This article isn't going to be full of awe and praise for the world's self-proclaimed thought leaders. You may have also guessed there's a reason for that. I've been researching "thought leadership", and the more I see, the more I despise.

Op-Ed: Demonizing China — A perspective on the Bizarre World Order
Paul Wallis
There's no doubt that since the fall of the Soviet Union, the West's senior morons have been looking for some sort of external threat. China is now the focus of a classic scenario: An external enemy to shift focus from the failures of the society.
