Everyone wants to be free from something or from someone. People want to achieve financial freedom and get out of debt. Workers want to get out from corporate slavery and have more time for their family. There are also those who want to live a life without anyone who is dictating them. But how can we really achieve freedom? Are we really pursuing the right freedom? The following are 7 ways that will guide us to achieving real freedom in life.
1. Get out of overdue debts. To achieve freedom in life, you have to get financial freedom. True financial freedom doesn't mean being rich, wealthy, millionaire, billionaire or someone who don't have any debt. Being financially free means you can live a life which is not dictated by money. You can live a simple life with a simple job and a simple house, and still enjoy financial freedom. You can also get loans for your business and still enjoy financial freedom as long as you will repay them before they become due. Remember that real financial freedom is having the ability to fulfill your financial obligations as you've promised them.
2. Pay attention. You have to pay not only money to your creditors, but you also have to pay time and attention to the people whom you are obligated personally and professionally, like your family, your employees, your customers, your boss, and everyone who needs your attention. To be free in life, you should not only fulfill your financial obligations but also your personal and professional responsibilities to other people.
3. Open up your mind. To achieve liberty in life you have to be free from ignorance. You have to gain knowledge, wisdom, understanding and insight about life itself. And how you should do it? You have to take the risk and get out of your comfort zone. You have to learn how to trust strangers who are actually trying to help you. You have to doubt the traitors who are close to you or the wolves who are disguising as sheep. Freeing yourself is opening your mind to things that can make you even better and even more useful to other people.
4. Purify your heart. Free your heart from the impurities of the world, such as greed, selfishness, pride, wrath and envy. Having a free life is attaining a light and bright life which is free from emotional burden and guilt. When you give and help other people with a cheerful heart, you become free from selfishness, greed, envy and insecurity in life. Moreover, if you could achieve a good condition of the heart, you could also achieve a good state of the mind.
5. Don't tell a lie. We all know that the truth can set us free. Hence, if you want to attain freedom in life, always be honest even if others are not or even if this world, which is full of lies, will mock and persecute you for telling the truth. Honesty may not make your life secure for the meantime, but it will always give your life integrity and security in the long run. Remember that every person, whether bad or good, deserves the truth. Hence, we are responsible for telling the truth to everyone, and the longer we delay it the more we become slaves by lies and deceit.
6. Be thankful to your creator. If there is one thing that we owe the most, it would be our life or our existence in this world or Universe. If you want to get the ultimate freedom of life, then you have to repay your ultimate debt which is your salvation or your life itself. So whether you're religious or not, be faithful to the one whom you believe is the one who give you your life.
7. Fight for your freedom. Finally, stand and fight for your freedom because no matter how knowledgeable and wise you are, if you don't work consistently to achieve and preserve your freedom, your desire to becoming a free person wouldn't be realized. You have to add love to your faith because it is love that can endure, can make sacrifices, and can make you do all things to fight for your true freedom in life.
Actually, freedom is a very broad term. There can be a wrong freedom and there can also be a right freedom. There is freedom that makes your life worse and there is freedom that makes your life better. You can also feel happily free when you become a slave of true love and other righteous things. In other words, don't be misled by false freedom. Always get and fight for the right freedom – the freedom that can actually free you from guilt, sins and from long-term punishments.

COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, PETITIONERv.COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION BOARD OF REVIEW, RESPONDENT
Appeal from the Order of the Unemployment Compensation Board of Review in case of In Re: Claim of LaVonne Dungan, No. B-148323-B.
John E. Childe, Chief Counsel, for petitioner.
Michael Klein, Assistant Attorney General, with him Gerald Gornish, Attorney General, for respondent.
Judges Crumlish, Jr., Blatt and Craig, sitting as a panel of three. Opinion by Judge Blatt.
Author: Blatt
[ 44 Pa. Commw. Page 280]
The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture (employer) appeals to us from a decision of the Unemployment Compensation Board of Review (Board) that LaVonne Dungan (claimant) was qualified to receive benefits. The Board concluded that the claimant had not abandoned her employment, as asserted by the employer, or engaged in any conduct that could be considered willful misconduct under Section 402(e) of the Unemployment Compensation Law.*fn1 The employer challenges this conclusion.
The claimant had worked for the employer since February 1976 and had been absent without leave and on sick leave on a number of occasions. She had been reminded by memorandum that a doctor's certificate was required after three consecutive days of sick leave. She was thereafter reprimanded for tardiness and abuse of sick leave privileges and once again reminded of the doctor's certificate requirement. On October 25, 1976, she called in to report that she was not well enough to work, and when she had not appeared for work on November 3, her immediate supervisor telephoned her and reminded her that a doctor's certificate would be required in order for her absence to be approved. On November 8, her father called her supervisor and requested that she be placed on sick leave.*fn2 It was agreed that she would be back
[ 44 Pa. Commw. Page 281]
on December 13, but she did not appear on that date. Her father called again on December 15 or 16 and told her supervisor that she would be back to work on the following Monday, December 20. At that time the supervisor again expressed his concern that she had not yet obtained a medical excuse, and in a letter dated December 15, the employer attempted to inform the claimant that, because she had thus far failed to furnish a doctor's certificate, she would be placed on absent without leave on December 20 unless she returned to work by that time. This letter was sent to the claimant's Londonderry Road, Harrisburg, address which the employer had on its records. The claimant, however, had moved to another address in Dillsburg and, although she testified that she had left a forwarding address with the Postal Service, she also testified that she had never received the letter. She did not return to work on December 20, and neither she nor her father contacted the employer to explain where she was at that time. On January 17, 1977, the employer sent the claimant another letter, addressed in care of her father at his Second Street, Harrisburg, address informing her that her services were terminated effective January 4 because she had not reported to work and had not submitted a medical excuse.
[ 44 Pa. Commw. Page 282]
This Court has stated the rule many times that the failure to comply with an employer's absence policy constitutes willful misconduct, see, e.g., Gallagher v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 32 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 160, 380 A.2d 1325 (1977), particularly after a claimant has received a number of warnings, Beaverson v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 34 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 125, 382 A.2d 1277 (1978). See also Ferko v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 9 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 597, 309 A.2d 72 (1973). The claimant may still be eligible for benefits, however, if he or she can establish good cause for disregarding the employer's rule. See Holmshek v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 39 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 503, 395 A.2d 708 (1979).
In the instant case, the Board found:
Due to an inadvertence in change of address and mail being delivered to her father's address, claimant did not receive a letter from the employer under date of December 15, 1976, directing her to report to work on ...

Tondaya is an exquisite cultural facility where people can learn about and enjoy Kyoto's traditional lifestyle. In summer these houses stay cool in the heat by taking advantage of special architectural techniques. Experience the way how Japanese people used to live in machiya townhouses.
It's totally different from modern Japanese houses. It's characterised by a building structure which has a narrow entrance and long interior.
Please have a great time enjoying yourself participating in activities such as the tea ceremony, dressing in kimono's and other interesting things in this historical "Machiya".
HistoryTondaya is a kimono wholesaler by Tanaka family for generations. Initally, Tanaka family had run a money exchanger in Fushimi (south of Kyoto City) during the Edo Era (1603-1867). Due to the Battle of Toba-Fushimi in1868, Tondaya had to move to Nishijin, where a kimono industry was growing, and built the existing house in 1885. The house consists of a workshop front and living space in the rear, which is a typical large-scale kimono wholesaler during the Meiji Era (1868-1912). Small interior gardens, a tea room, and annex for Noh performances were incorporated. The interior design of the house possesses aesthetic simplicity, and the materials used in its construction were carefully selected by the original owner.
Tondaya was registered as National Cultural heritage in 1999 and also as Structure of Landscape Importance in Kyoto in 2007. Currently, Tondaya is open as Nishijin Lifestyle Museum to promote the education of traditional Kyoto lifestyle culture.

When: 1 Jun- 30 Sep 2017 09:00-17:00 (Reservation required)

Kirk's one request for his birthday present, was a nap. I don't know if you can consider this sad or that he is getting old. But, if you knew how hard this guy has been working you would understand. The only thing that he could have asked for that could top a nap, would be a day off. Here is the poor birthday boy enjoying his celebratory goody.
Happy 33rd birthday old man!

Charleston Stylized Portrait Photography : Natalia, the Gypsy + the Mermaid
As a photographer, you really can't go wrong when photographing a beautiful girl, on the beach, at the golden hour. It's like Christmas morning when it all comes together. Natalia and I collaborated to create this dreamy stylized session with a sort of bohemian-gypsy-mermaid on the beach. I think we did pretty well.
Natalia had a clear vision and was game for anything. She modeled for friends in her native country of Moldova so was very comfortable in front of the camera. This shoot was wonderful, and fun, and a great way to enjoy a gorgeous beach at sunset. Thank you Natalia!

Regional Profile
Cyprus is an island off the southern coast of Turkey. The Greek residents consider it a Greek island and in modern times it has been a British Colony. It is a divided land with Turkey having invading the northern part of the island in 1974. The south part of the island is Greek. Turkish, Greek and English are spoken on the island.
There continues to be tension between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots but talks recently have led to better communication with the two populations and travel restrictions being lifted. The Green Line is the line between the two parts of the island. Most visitors go to the south part of the island.
Turkish Cypriots tend to be Muslim and the Greeks tend to be Christian Greek Orthodox.
Tourism is important to the southern portion of the island but there is much less tourism to the north part.
Service Focus
Opportunities in Cyprus include:
- Administration
- Media development
Prayer Focus
- Pray for vitality in the churches.
- Pray the young people that they would find true spirituality.
- Pray for continued reduction of tension between Greeks and Turks that more communication can take place.

We just LOVE this story. By now you fans know that Sacha Baron Cohen's next movie will be all about Bruno, his gay Austrian fashionista character. Bruno, along with Ali G and Borat, has been a staple on Cohen's HBO comedy show. Lucky you, we have a first hand report of an intended "victim" of Bruno's here in Hollywood. Bruno BEGGED E.L. Woody, the King of Paparazzi in Hollywood, to do an interview about his popular Celebrities Uncensored TV show. At that time, Woody had no knowledge of Bruno and turned him down several times but he was persistent and Woody finally gave in. They arranged to meet at Antonio's restaurant on Melrose and then drive around in a truck and film a few Hollywood hotspots. No nonsense Woody was immediately suspicious because he said "The eight people in the group looked like a bunch of leprechauns in lederhosen." Woody remembers that Bruno "had an odd accent "and was fawning all over him, complimenting his work. Woody couldn't help wisecracking "Where are your Lucky Charms?"
"It didn't look like a professional crew – my bullshit meter went up to ten." said Woody. A hand printed (in pencil) release was thrust in front of Woody to sign. Curious , Woody went along for the ride. But when they got in the truck, flamboyantly gay Bruno started asking all about homosexuality. "Is Tom Cruise gay? Is Keanu Reeves gay? Is Brad Pitt gay?" and Woody started steaming. Is EVERYONE in Hollywood gay?" Bruno persisted. Eventually Bruno started coyly flirting with Woody, a former Green Beret and onetime editor of Easy Rider magazine, and asked "Are YOU gay?" THAT did it! Woody called them a "bunch of phonies" and dumped them all on the street. Soon after, Woody's lawyer called Bruno and threatened to sue -so you won't be seeing this footage anywhere. Too bad!

Me and the kids have been enjoying the treasures in our new product kit, aka some of Discovery Toys newest additions.
Here's what we've sampled so far, from the infant products:
Adam (5 months): Baby Moves Shaker Weights
The rattle design encourages baby to use both hands to build motor skills by grasping, lifting, pushing, pulling, rolling and shaking. Adam is just learning to reach out and grab objects and these colorful weights seem to draw his attention. He's not doing curls with them yet, but he does pull them to him, one at a time, to give them a taste. They're machine-washable, too! He especially likes the crinkled fabric sound.
Cost: $18.50
This soft blanket has a teether, satin corners, a applique moon and a crinkle sun. I attach it with the Boomerings to his car seat strap so he has a little softness to play with in the car and during a stroll. Also machine-washable, a very important quality for a baby toy!
Cost: $10
Baby Moves Wiggle, Jingle & Roll
Lots of fun in this piece. I hang it from his activity center and he keeps busy playing with it. He's just only started to explore this piece, pulling at the flaps. Not quite pulling the handle for the wiggle vibration yet but then again, he's only 5 months and it's really geared toward 6 months through toddler.
Cost: $20
The Baby Moves Complete Gift Set, which includes these a Baby Moves Book Collection ("Touch & Tickle, "Calm & Soothe and "Wiggle & Move") is $60. The Baby Moves Lullaby Set, which inlcudes the Lullaby Blankie and the Calm & Soothe book, is $15.
Other new infant products, which we have not played with yet:

Special Blend Gives City Explorer TV a Hot New MakeoverDesign Studio Also Brands New Luxury Explorer TV Network (July 23, 2008)
Additionally, Special Blend has created branding to support the launch of Luxury Explorer TV, Explorer TV's newest in-hotel network which is being made available exclusively to the top 100 luxury hotels in the United States.
The concept for City Explorer TV's new brand was developed by Special Blend Creative Director Kathy Lajvardi. "We wanted a look that was clean, fresh and modern; something that connects with consumers today," explained Lajvardi. "As most people encounter the channel when they are traveling, we felt the brand should also reflect the energy and excitement of exploring a new city."
In order to draw viewers in, the branding also had to be polished and engaging enough to compete with other entertainment choices. "It had to stand on its own and compare favorably to what viewers see on top broadcast tv networks," said City Explorer TV Executive Producer Megan Rhoads. "And that's what Special Blend delivered—a look that is elegant and dynamic and supports the network's position as a source for insider information on the best attractions, arts, shopping, dining and nightlife."
The branding employs a crisp black, white and blue color palette and uses boldly animated lines and other graphical elements to draw the eye through 3-dimensional space and convey a sense of travel. Playing off the City Explorer TV logo, which features an exclamation point fashioned out of a stylized city skyline, glossy icons are used to introduce subject areas such as dining, shopping and attractions.
The branding for the new Luxury Explorer TV network is based on a similar concept, only geared toward a higher end demographic. Rather than graphical icons, the Luxury Explorer TV branding uses crisply stylish photography of luxury goods such as statuary and designer shoes.
"We love Special Blend's work and everything they have done for us has been fantastic," said Rhoads. "They take our ideas and make them better."
About City Explorer TV
Founded in 1992, the company was created to fill the needs of the underserved visitors market via a hotel television network. Conceived as a complement to the concierge, City Explorer TV's programming has become a key aspect of hotel guest service, as evidenced by City Explorer TV's rapid growth. Originally created under "The welcome channel" brand and covering only Southern California, growing demand by four- and five-star hotels in other cities prompted expansion into additional U.S. and international markets. Today, City Explorer TV is the largest owned and operated hotel-based TV network in the US and the only international network, with over 150,000 hotel rooms under contract in the United States and Europe. CETV programming can also be seen in Visitor Information Centers for NYC & Company (in Times Square) and LA Inc.
