D'Souza: "The Common Thread" Between Ferguson And The Islamic State Is "Perceived Injustice"
Conservative author Dinesh D'Souza compared unrest during the Ferguson protests to the beheadings carried out by the terrorist group that calls itself the Islamic State.
Speaking on the August 21 edition Newsmax's The Steve Malzberg Show, D'Souza opined on the heated protests that have taken place in Ferguson, Missouri following the fatal shooting of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown by a police officer. D'Souza likened the actions in Ferguson to the Islamic State terrorists who beheaded innocents. From BuzzFeed (emphasis added):
MALZBERG: I just want to concentrate on Holder for one more second and his going down there and his saying what he said, do you believe that that prejudices a grand jury -- could prejudice a jury? And could it result in the prevention of a fair trial for the officer?
D'SOUZA: I think this is a really -- this is a serious issue, because here you have guys like, you have Obama, you have Holder, and you have Al Sharpton. Now, can a cop acting under the exigencies of his job expect justice if those three guys were deciding the outcome? I mean, it seems really clear that they are fostering an atmosphere in Ferguson that basically goes, "Let's declare that this guy is probably guilty and let's see what we can do to put him up against the wall." The idea that he would get impartial justice is becoming highly questionable, so this has become a real problem.
Now, historically, blacks have faced this problem and it looks like what we're seeing is a kind of complete flip, so that we're going from one set of injustices to another. And that's, you know, what the common thread between ISIS and what's going on in Ferguson is you have these people who basically believe that to correct a perceived injustice, it's perfectly OK to inflict all kinds of new injustices. Behead guys who have nothing to do with it. Go and loot shops from business owners who are not part of the original problem whatsoever. And all of this is then licensed by the left and licensed to some degree by the media.
One of the big bits of news to come out of the May 8 House Oversight Committee hearing was the claim that "whistleblower" Gregory Hicks felt he had been "effectively demoted" within the State Department for speaking out about the September 2012 attacks on the diplomatic facility in Benghazi. Hicks' attorney, Victoria Toensing, is making the right-wing media rounds, telling radio host Steve Malzberg that Hicks was forced out of his post in Libya after the State Department told him he could either take a desk job or lose his job altogether. Toensing's story, however, does not comport with what her client told Congress. Hicks testified that family considerations were the key factor in his decision not to return to Libya.
Here's the relevant portion from Toensing's appearance on Malzberg's May 10 program:
MALZBERG: So he got demoted, correct?
TOENSING: He did get demoted and you know what? That nasty State Department who has no integrity, shame on John Kerry for not taking charge of this, puts out "well he still has the same pay." And they lied this morning in the Washington Post, telling somebody who just prints what they said, that he sought the desk job that he describes as a demotion. No, he did not. Here's what happened. People need to know this. He was offered a choice: no job, or this job that doesn't mean anything. It's a desk job. It's like going from the -- like a co-anchor to the copy desk.
MALZBERG: So he was given two choices, you're saying, either "take a hike, you're fired," or "take this desk job."
TOENSING: I say it's like telling a starving man, "hey , you get this choice: You can either have no food or you get this rotten steak. What would you like? Would you like a rotten piece of beef or no food at all?"
And here's what Hicks said during the House Oversight Committee hearing (emphasis added):
REP. SCOTT DESJARLAIS (R-TN): So when you came back to the United States, were you planning on going back to Libya?
MR. HICKS: I was. I fully intended to do so.
REP. DESJARLAIS: And what do you think happened?
MR. HICKS: Based on the criticism that I received, I felt that if I went back, I would never be comfortable working there. And in addition, my family really didn't want me to go back. We'd endured a year of separation when I was in Afghanistan 2006 and 2007. That was the overriding factor. So I voluntarily curtailed -- I accepted an offer of what's called a no-fault curtailment. That means that there's -- there would be no criticism of my departure of post, no negative repercussions. And in fact Ambassador Pope, when he made the offer to everyone in Tripoli when he arrived -- I mean Charge Pope -- when he arrived, he indicated that people could expect that they would get a good onward assignment out of that. [transcript via Nexis]
As Toensing noted (and disputed), the Washington Post reported on May 8 that the State Department challenged Hicks' version of events. Spokesman Patrick Ventrell said the department successfully worked with Hicks to find a new temporary position, that Hicks has the same rank and salary, and was under consideration for future assignments. As Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson succinctly put it, Hicks "asked to come home, understandably, and the department parked him in a desk job -- with the same pay and rank -- until something more to his liking comes open."

During a radio appearance yesterday, Mike Huckabee repeatedly falsely claimed that President Obama grew up in Kenya. After questioning Obama's purported secrecy about the birth certificate, radio host Steve Malzberg asked Huckabee if "we deserve to know more about this man." Huckabee responded, "I would love to know more. What I know is troubling enough."
Speaking on WOR's The Steve Malzberg Show, Huckabee -- a Fox News host and potential presidential candidate -- said that "one thing that I do know is his having grown up in Kenya, his view of the Brits, for example, very different than the average American ... his perspective as growing up in Kenya with a Kenyan father and grandfather, their view of the Mau Mau Revolution in Kenya is very different than ours because he probably grew up hearing that the British are a bunch of imperialists who persecuted his grandfather."
From the February 28 program:
MALZBERG: Don't you think it's fair also to ask him, I know your stance on this. How come we don't have a health record, we don't have a college record, we don't have a birth cer - why Mr. Obama did you spend millions of dollars in courts all over this country to defend against having to present a birth certificate. It's one thing to say, I've -- you've seen it, goodbye. But why go to court and send lawyers to defend against having to show it? Don't you think we deserve to know more about this man?
HUCKABEE: I would love to know more. What I know is troubling enough. And one thing that I do know is his having grown up in Kenya, his view of the Brits, for example, very different than the average American. When he gave the bust back to the Brits --
MALZBERG: Of Winston Churchill.
HUCKABEE: The bust of Winston Churchill, a great insult to the British. But then if you think about it, his perspective as growing up in Kenya with a Kenyan father and grandfather, their view of the Mau Mau Revolution in Kenya is very different than ours because he probably grew up hearing that the British were a bunch of imperialists who persecuted his grandfather.
Huckabee was later asked if he would bring up the issue of Obama's birth certificate during a presidential debate. Huckabee replied: "The only reason I'm not as confident that there's something about the birth certificate, Steve, is because I know the Clintons [inaudible] and believe me, they have lots of investigators out on him, and I'm convinced if there was anything that they could have found on that, they would have found it, and I promise they would have used it."

During one of the sessions, I heard someone mention the 90-10-1 rule. Meaning that in communities 90% of users will lurk 10% may comment and only 1% will actively contribute by starting discussions. (OK I know that adds up to 101%) What's your feeling on this rule? How does this compare to the activity in your communities?
It actually reflects our experience pretty accurately - and we are a membership organization so should be pre-disposed to a "higher than normal" participation (in my opinion).
I think we will eventually exceed these numbers but I think they are a good rule of thumb as a starting point for most organizations.

Project: During the 2014 -2015 academic year, my good friend Kelley Kennedy and I brought computer science education to Brennen Elementary School by partnering with the local YMCA after school program and Google's CS First program. Our goal was to give our students exposure to computer science and to motivate them to not only consume technology, but also to create it.
After a semester of success, Kelley and I trained other undergraduate students (both computing and non-computing students) to take Google CS First programs elsewhere in the greater Columbia Community. Perhaps one of the most rewarding programs was led by Omar Ansari in partnership with the Prosperity Project, which exists to aid in the spiritual and educational development of students living in the the inner city of Columbia, SC.

If your magazine, brochure or catalogue is mailed out to subscribers or to your existing customers and prospects, you will be all too aware of the cost of preparing the items for postage, and of course the rising costs of postage itself.
Many people have changed from envelopes to plastic bags to reduce costs, and some have even gone to the extent of mailing out without any packaging.
If you use a carrier sheet to mail out your magazine or brochure, and this isn't used for any other purpose than carrying the address etc. it might be worth considering using Bitjet or something similar to negate the need for a carrier.
At Warner's we use Bitjet technology on our mailing lines, which enables us to inkjet the logo, return address and PPI details onto the polythene bag at the same time as we inkjet the address on.
This speeds up the system as well as saves the cost of having the carrier printed.
It would be great to hear if this information been useful, and if so why not subscribe to our regular blogs by clicking here, you can always unsubscribe at any time if you change your mind.

[ Country-by-Country Reports ]
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES (TIER 2 Watch List) [Extracted from U.S. State Dept TIP Report, June 2009]
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a destination for men and women, predominantly from South and Southeast Asia, trafficked for the purposes of labor and commercial sexual exploitation. Migrant workers, who comprise more than 90 percent of the UAE's private sector workforce, are recruited from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, China, and the Philippines. Women from some of these countries travel willingly to work as domestic servants or administrative staff, but some are subjected to conditions indicative of forced labor, including unlawful withholding of passports, restrictions on movement, non-payment of wages, threats, or physical or sexual abuse. Trafficking of domestic workers is facilitated by the fact that the normal protections provided to workers under UAE labor law do not apply to domestic workers, leaving them more vulnerable to abuse. Similarly, men from India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Pakistan are drawn to the UAE for work in the construction sector, but are often subjected to conditions of involuntary servitude and debt bondage – often by exploitative "agents" in the sending countries – as they struggle to pay off debts for recruitment fees that sometimes exceed the equivalent of two years' wages. Some women from Eastern Europe, South East Asia, the Far East, East Africa, Iraq, Iran, and Morocco reportedly are trafficked to the UAE for commercial sexual exploitation. Some foreign women also are reportedly recruited for work as secretaries or hotel workers by third-country recruiters and coerced into prostitution or domestic servitude after arriving in the UAE.
The vulnerability of some migrant workers to trafficking likely increased towards the end of the reporting period as a global economic decline – noted particularly in the construction sector, the UAE's largest single employer of foreign workers – saw many laborers repatriated to their home countries where they still owed debts. Unpaid construction workers often were defrauded or forced to continue working without pay, as they faced threats that protests may destroy any chance of recovering wages owed to them. By the unique nature of their work in homes, domestic workers were generally isolated from the outside world making it difficult for them to access help. Restrictive sponsorship laws for foreign domestic workers often gave employers power to control their movements and left some of them vulnerable to exploitation.
The Government of the United Arab Emirates does not fully comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking; however, it is making significant, and increasingly public, efforts to do so. Although the government demonstrated sustained efforts to prosecute and convict sex trafficking offenders during the year and made modest progress to provide protections to female trafficking victims, there were no discernable anti-trafficking efforts against the forced labor of temporary migrant workers and domestic servants. The UAE historically has not recognized people forced into labor as trafficking victims, particularly if they are over the age of 18 and entered the country voluntarily; therefore, the United Arab Emirates is placed on Tier 2 Watch List.
Recommendations for the UAE: Increase efforts to investigate and prosecute human trafficking offenses, particularly those involving labor exploitation, and convict and punish trafficking offenders, including recruitment agents (both locals and non-citizens) and employers who subject others to forced labor; develop and institute formal procedures for law enforcement and Ministry of Labor officials to proactively identify victims of trafficking among vulnerable groups such as workers subjected to labor abuses, those apprehended for violations of immigration laws, domestic workers who have fled their employers, and foreign females in prostitution; improve protection services for victims of sex trafficking and forced labor, including adequate and accessible shelter space, referral to available legal aid, and credible recourse for obtaining financial restitution; consider sustaining and expanding the pilot program involving recruitment of foreign laborers in key source countries in order to eliminate recruitment fraud and other contributing factors to debt bondage and forced labor; ensure trafficking victims are not incarcerated, fined, or otherwise penalized for unlawful acts committed as a direct result of being trafficked; consider conducting interviews of potential trafficking victims in safe and non-threatening environments with trained counselors (preferably conversant in the victims' language); collaborate with sending countries of laborers and domestic workers on investigations of recruiting agencies that engage in trafficking; and work proactively with NGOs to provide services for victims and educate both employers and workers on the practices that constitute human trafficking, and how to prevent them.
During the year, a member of a UAE ruling family and six of her traveling party were charged by a Belgian court for subjecting at least 17 Asian and Middle Eastern girls into forced labor as domestic servants.
Potential victims of labor trafficking – likely the most prevalent form of trafficking in the UAE – were not offered shelter or counseling or immigration relief by the government during the reporting period. The government regularly referred potential victims, who had been working in the formal sector, to the MOL to file complaints through administrative labor resolution channels; this did not apply to domestic workers. Unlike other laborers, domestic workers were not covered by UAE's labor law and had little recourse to protection from abuse. This administrative remedy is not a sufficient deterrent to the serious crime of trafficking for the purpose of labor exploitation. Several unofficial shelters were in operation, and supported hundreds of female domestic workers who fled their employers – termed "runaways" in the UAE – and who reported conditions of forced labor at the hands of their employers. The UAE government, however, did not initiate any reported investigations or prosecutions of forced labor offenses associated with these victims. Together with the Government of Mauritania, the UAE government closed the cases of 560 Mauritanian children who had been trafficked to the UAE as camel jockeys in previous years, and had been removed from their exploitation and repatriated; the UAE government continued funding a UNICEF program that provides rehabilitation assistance to these and other repatriated child camel jockeys from Sudan, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Police and immigration officials in Abu Dhabi and Dubai received training on identification and appropriate care of trafficking victims during the year.

Yesterday I got to meet my new great-niece, Cecilia, and to visit with her big sister, mom and nana. I hadn't seen them all in almost a year, so it was great to have some quality time together and get some yummy Olivia hugs.
In the photos you can see baby Cecilia with her new hat and her new Stuffy Bear. The bear is bigger than Cecilia, and probably weights more than she does.
Olivia seemed to like her new stuffed bunny. She is such a gorgeous child and I always love visiting with her.
You can also see Cecilia snuggling with her mommy, Olivia laughing with her Nana, and a photo of the nursing cover that I made for Jessica. I am not good at sewing so I'm glad the seams don't show in the photo, but the design of this cover is a good one.
Hope to get a chance to see everyone soon. As Olivia would say, "I love my peoples!"

About Nosta
Nosta is a modern text typeface. It was designed to be easily legible and therefore expressly suitable for setting sizeable lengths of continuous text such as magazine articles, books and essays. It achieves this through, amongst other things, finely balanced proportions, optimal character spacing and an adherence to predictable letter forms. Despite this, however, Nosta manages to retain a contemporary look and feel by using a variety of modern type design devices such as the efficacious wedge serif. The italic avoids using too many of the cursive elements that are often found in traditional italics and has only a modest slant, giving it a modern look that does not overly disrupt the text while still providing emphasis.
While designed for continuous text, Nosta can also be used as a display face, making it a good all round typeface, suitable for many applications.
All formats of the fonts are perfectly serviceable, however, the OpenType version contains extended language support, extra ligatures and a wide variety of numerals.

Broadly speaking, shared governance is a system whereby those who have a stake in decisions, have a voice in the decision making processes. The underlying premise is that staff, faculty, administrators and the Board of Trustees, while having different institutional roles, perspectives and levels of authority, have a shared interest in the quality of education and the welfare of the institution. Collaboration, communication and cooperation are key components to the success fo any shared governance endeavor.
While shared governance may look different at different institutions, this LibGuide provides a working overview of shared governance at the University of Detroit Mercy.

Aflac Launches #AflacSweeps With YouTube Page Takeover Game
The company is using its connection with college football's Heisman Trophy to tie the idea of speed on the playing field to speed in getting insurance claims paid.
As part of its partnership with college football's Heisman Trophy, Aflac has teamed up with 1991 Heisman Trophy winner Desmond Howard for a new campaign that includes an online sweepstakes.
The company aims to connect the idea of speed on the playing field to speed in getting insurance claims paid. In a press release announcing the partnership, Howard said, "During my playing days, I learned the importance of speed on the field. But it's just as important off the field – especially when it comes to getting insurance claims paid quickly to help you get back in the game of life."
While the campaign will launch with a television commercial, the partnership sweepstakes will roll out across the brand's Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube pages with a YouTube homepage takeover August 28. The campaign hashtag is #AflacSweeps.
The takeover unit will feature an interactive football game which visitors can play as well as enter the sweepstakes for a chance to win the Ultimate College Football Experience.
Three winners will get a one-on-one meet-and-greet with Howard as well as two tickets to one of three of the biggest college football matchups in November, roundtrip airfare, hotel accommodations, ground transportation and a $500 prepaid debit card to use as they choose.

Previously at the ICA - Films
14 Aug 2016
This screening is introduced by critic and film curator Colm McAuliffe (The Guardian, Sight and Sound, New Statesman)
Shem The Penman Sings Again deals with the actual and much fabled friendship of James Joyce and John McCormack. The world-renowned writer and the extraordinary tenor first met in 1904 when Joyce still had hopes of becoming a professional singer himself. They reconnected in Paris in the 1920s and Joyce was to use his first-hand knowledge of McCormack to create the character of Shaun the Post in his famously 'unreadable' final novel, Finnegans Wake. As Joyce struggled with the book, he portrayed himself in it as Shaun's lowly twin brother, Shem.
Joyce's twin obsessions, singing and literary experimentation, flow through the film as his and McCormack's encounters are reimagined in a variety of early cinematic styles, interrupted by four short films-within-the-film charting the exploits of Shem and Shaun. As Joyce's eyesight fails, the narrative is carried by a mix of archive recordings and imaginary radio broadcasts, giving us an emotional connection to an increasingly isolated Joyce.
Shem the Penman Sings again, dir. Pádraig Trehy, Ireland 2015, 80 mins

Where do I purchase Chinese herbal medicine for my enlarged kidneys? In Beijing Tongshantang Hospital, several characterized kidney disease treatments have shown good effects on treating various kidney disease.
What is the enlarged kidneys?
An enlarged kidney is a condition in which a kidney is larger than its normal size. Generally, kidney enlargement is a symptom of an underlying disease or disorder of the kidneys. There are a number of reasons for enlarged kidneys, from Polycystic Kidney Disease to infections, alcoholism and cancer. Other causes may be cysts, PKD, tumors, urine reflux, hydronephrosis due to kidney stones. Along with the enlarged kidneys, patients may also suffer from some symptoms like swelling, severe pain, high blood pressure, changes in urine and so on. If left untreated, illness condition also will progress into Kidney Failure gradually. Compared to western drugs, Chinese herbal medicines have a more significant impact on enlarged kidneys treatment.
What Chinese herbal medicines can work for enlarged kidneys?
Some herbs can help to relieve some symptoms of the disease. The herbs include the following:
Dandelion root - help the kidneys excrete wastes;
Cranberry - helps to acidify urine;
Celery and parsley - decrease uric acid;
Hydrangea and uva ursi - cleanse the urinary tract;
Buchu and barberry - improve immune function when drunk as a tea and prevent inflammation in the kidneys.
But compared to signal herbs medicines, I prefer recommending the more natural and comprehensive treatment like Micro-Chinese Medicine Omsotherapy, Medicated Bath, Foot Bath and so on.
Where do I purchase the treatments?
You can get the signal Chinese medicine in your local Chinese medicines clinic, but if you want to get the treatment like Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, you need to come to China, since it is one characterized treatment in our hospital. And there are hundreds of formulas in the treatment. The doctor will elect the herbal medicines according to your illness condition. After one month's treatment in our hospital, you can take the medicines to home and our doctor will give you professional guidelines. Any questions, just talk with Online Doctors or email to email@example.com

What are everyone's plans for this upcoming weekend? My little girl turns 9 Friday! It really makes me wan't to cry. We will be celebrating all weekend. She will have a taco bar and zebra themed party. Hey what does one have to do with the other? Nothing! But this makes her happy. Now onto the recipe...I have been dying to make this dish. I have always seen it with chicken but never pork. Sooooo me being me and always daring to be different, here you have it. Stuffed pork chops, I just love them. But these right here well definitely are not your average stuffed pork chop. Inside is the ooey gooey goodness of a jalapeno popper and the outside is crispy smokey bacon brushed with yummy bbq sauce.

Rainer Cherry Summer Punch
We have been very luck so far t his summer that it has not been to hot. 85 being the hottest day so far. I'm sure as soon as August hits it the temperature will skyrocket. To beat the heat I love to make a great cocktail in the summer. Instead of a vodka or rum cocktail I opted for a much different version. I realized that I have not posted a cocktail recipe in forever. So here is a pretty serious one at that. If you have never tried moonshine you are missing out. While I can't drink it straight or even the white lightening version, this is a nice cocktail version to have. Don't get me wrong it still packs punch hence the name.
Happy Monday!
Happy Monday!

Grilled Shrimp Cocktail Kabobs
Shrimp on the "barbie"! We love shrimp cocktail in our house. I make it more than the normal person. In the summer months we grill so much that I am always looking to change things up in anyway I can. I also love grilled shrimp and grilled shrimp cocktail. They are done in 8 minutes! How can you beat that? When they are grilled the shrimp get a nice smoky flavor from the grill and then are brushed with sweet and tangy and slightly spicy cocktail sauce. Serve with lemon wedges and more sauce.

Black Bean Guacamole
My daughter is going to be 9 OMG 9 next week. She is my baby. Where have the years gone. I asked her what she wanted on the menu for her family party. We decided on a taco bar instead of a bbq. Taco's are one of her favorite foods. So I have been testing and planning the recipes. This is one of my favorites. I love avocados in every way. I think I love guacamole more. I prefer chunky guacamole to the smooth creamy kind. Like this one. Chopped avocado, tomato, onion black beans, lime and cilantro. Yum! Serve it with your favorite tortilla chips. Aren't these curled ones cool? So what's your favorite kind of guacamole?

Super Easy Garlic Dill Pickles
Monday again.....where does the weekend go? I hope everyone had a great one. These pickles just scream summer to me. I have been making these for a few years now. Is there anyone that can resist a pickle? They go perfect with grilled cheese. You will not believe how easy it really is to pickle just about any vegetable. I have done cauliflower, carrots, peppers and of course cukes. There are many different versions out there. I happen to like garlic dill the best. Don't get me wrong bread and butter is fabulous as well. I'm a dill garlic girl.
Happy Monday!

County Fair Funnel Cake
This right here makes me feel like a kid again. The fact that I can share it with my kids is even better. I have the fondest memories as a child of going to the county fair every year with my family. We looked forward to it ever summer. Besides all the entertainment (pig races were my favorite back then), rides (definitely the scrambler), and other great fair food I could not wait to get one or even two of these. Light, fluffy and just a little bit crunchy this gets dusted with powdered sugar and served hot for a fun and tasty treat. The toppings are endless. Ice cream, hot fudge, or even fresh jam. For this version I opted for the traditional powdered sugar and added some fresh summer strawberries and whipped cream. My kids were in heaven. Funnel cake doesn't have to be a once a year treat...make it a County Fair night by serving all the fair favorites for dinner. You never to old for fair food!

Summer Veggie Taquitos
What a week! I was a bit M.I.A. sorry for that. I took my little one camping for a night. We stayed with friends that were camping at the beach near our house. It was so relaxing even with seven kids running around. The coolest thing is the campgrounds are set right between the ocean and the bay. It is just absolutely gorgeous! Such a great way to enjoy the summer. Now onto these little bad boys. This is a perfect meatless Monday dish if that's your thing. Tons of yummy veggies and cheese all wrapped up in a crunchy tortilla. You won't even notice the meat is missing. Basically you can include any vegetable you like. I happen to love this mixture it has that southwest flair that just goes oh so well together. These are a great main dish or even as a appetizer. Serve them alongside your favorite guacamole and some sour cream.
Happy Monday!

Classic Pressed Cuban Sandwich
I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. Our turned out well despite the crappy weather on the 4th. Is everyone bbq'd out? Is that even possible? If you made pork over the weekend and have some leftover this is the easiest way other than empanadas to use it up. You can go ahead and start the pork from scratch to make these also. Either way they are absolutely delicious. You have sweet ham, delicious roasted pork, swiss cheese, mustard and oh dill pickles all pressed and grilled together. I think I have found my new favorite sandwich like forever and ever. It's a total manwich to. He will love it. Mine did.

10 Awesome Grilled Main Dishes
I hope everyone ready for the 4th and has fun plans. This year it it suppose to pour all day
long. It has not rained in years on the 4th for July. I guess we are do. Our plans to spend the
day at the beach have will literally be a wash out and I actually haven't a clue as to what we will do. Any ideas? I think it will most likely be spent inside watching the rain along with funny movies and one of these dishes cooked inside. These are ten of my favorite grilled main dishes that I actually make all year round. Each one can all be modified to be cooked in the oven. I have to say my favorite is the Surf and Turf Grilled Burrito. I have this thing with stuffing all sorts of yummy things into a tortilla and grilling it. My daughter would rather have a cheese quesadilla any day over a grilled cheese sandwich.
Wishing everyone a safe and happy 4th!
Until next time....

Improved immobilized carbon dioxide capture sorbentsFuel Processing Technology
Document TypeArticle
Publication Date2-22-2005
AbstractThe capture of carbon dioxide from simulated flue gas streams has been achieved by using immobilized and aminated-SBA-15 solid sorbents. SBA-15, a mesoporous silica material with a uniform pore size of 21 nm and a surface area of 200∼230 m2/g. The solid sorbents prepared in this study exhibit similar or improved capacities relative to those already used to control CO2 concentrations in submarine and spacecraft applications. The results suggest that immobilized secondary amines have a stronger affinity for the capture of carbon dioxide from simulated flue gas streams than primary amines. The performance of these immobilized and aminated-SBA-15 solid sorbents decreased with regeneration.

Sat Chit
You do not exist in time.
You exist now.
Sat Chit
Being Knowing
Believing in time is believing in self.
Knowing there is no time,
is knowing there is no self.
Abiding in no time,
is abiding as your essential being.
It is being who you are, knowingly.
Sat Chit
What do you want?
A myth?
Or truth, freedom, peace?
And what if there were so-called events in a so-called past?
Where are they now?
They are not, clearly!
So, why admit them into now?
Why let them disturb the peace of now?
The peace of your essential being.
The one who cares about past and future,
with all of its myths,
is self, ego,
a thought, a 'false me'.
That one does not even exist.
The true you, Sat Chit,
has no interest in,
or need for,
or places any meaning in
any of those myths.
That one is the only existence.
The only reality.
Know who you are,
in no time, now.
Be at peace.

YOUNG HARRIS, Ga. – The Georgia College Baseball team (17-8, 5-5 PBC) lost a heartbreaker on the road against Young Harris College (10-15, 4-6 PBC) Friday evening after a walk-off home run from Mountain Lion designated hitter Brett Westmoreland. The Bobcats held a 5-1 lead in the seventh inning, but three late Mountain Lion home runs surged them to victory, 6-5.
It was a pretty even matchup with Georgia College scoring five runs on nine hits against the six runs on eight hits from Young Harris. The Mountain Lions caught fire late in the game and managed to come away with the win.
The Bobcats got on the board first, posting a three-spot in the third inning. Freshman Cal Gentry (Perry) drove in the first run for Georgia College with a sacrifice fly followed by a two-run double from senior Brandon Benson (Loganville) to put the Bobcats up 3-0 after three.
The three run Bobcat lead carried over until the top of the sixth where they managed to tack on two more with a two-run blast from Clayten Ayres (Kennewick, Washington) to take a 5-0 advantage. Young Harris pushed one across in the bottom to cut lead to 5-1.
The Mountain Lions began their comeback in the bottom of the seventh when they cut the deficit to just one after a three-run shot from Tyler Washington.
With Georgia College up 5-4 heading into the bottom of the eighth, Young Harris smacked a solo home run to knot things up at 5-5. The Bobcats were shut down in the top of the ninth, but the Mountain Lions kept their momentum rolling, Westmoreland ending the game with a walk-off solo home run.
Junior Charlie Hecht (Johns Creek) had a solid outing for Georgia College tossing six-plus innings while allowing four earned on six hits and three strikeouts. The numbers do not indicate the quality game that Hecht threw, with three of his runs coming off one swing of the bat late in the game.
The Bobcats will conclude their series with a doubleheader against Young Harris Saturday, March 25 at 12 p.m., a change from the original schedule to get ahead of a rainy forecast scheduled for Sunday.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

WIT Book Aid Project
"When you give someone a book, you don't just give paper, ink and glue.
You give the possibility of a whole new life"
Christopher Morley (1890 – 1957, US writer)
WIT Book Aid Project
2001/2002 - 2014: 8 shipments totalling 8,500 books collected and donated.
Books, donated by WIT students and staff, were sent to Africa to stock libraries and support reading and access to education.
WIT Meitheal provided minor financial assistance to the WIT Book Aid Project.
The WIT Book Aid Project was initiated by the Chaplaincy Office in conjunction with WIT Meitheal Group and WIT Libraries in 2001/2002.
Second-hand textbooks in good condition were donated by WIT students and staff.
In the first 5 years of the project over 3,000 books were collected.
In 2007 Book Aid International http://www.bookaid.org/ were no longer accepting second-hand books as they were receiving so many new textbooks from publishers.
WIT Book Aid Project then partnered with READ International - http://readinternational.or.tz/ Our first shipment to Read International of over 800 books took place in 2008 and again in 2010 over 800 books were collected. In 2012 900 books were collected and headed for READ International on World Book Day (1st March 2012).
In April 2013 the 7th shipment of donated books departed WIT.
In 2014 Better World Books announced they would only be accepting donations through their Book Bins located in the UK. The 260 books already donated were collected by Better World Books and the monies raised were donated to READ International.
The support of MacTrans, a local transport company, must also be acknowledged as the company provided free shipping of the donated books from WIT to the Book Aid International / READ International depots in the UK.

A lot of people have needed a drink nightly (daily, morningly) since November 8, due to certain political events. Wells Fargo, the San Francisco–based bank that emerged from the financial crisis with a squeaky-clean reputation relative to its peers, has needed an I.V. drip of alcohol for the past five months, since its little accounts scandal came to light. And it doesn't look as though it'll be sobering up anytime soon. Despite hoping to prove to investors that its problems were behind it with a strong showing for the fourth quarter, the bank announced its fifth-straight quarterly drop in profits today.
Net income applicable to shareholders fell 6.4 percent to $4.87 billion, or 96 cents per share, in the fourth quarter, from $5.20 billion, or $1.00 per share, a year earlier.
The bank's results diverged from rivals JPMorgan Chase & Co and Bank of America Corp. Both posted significantly higher earnings on Friday on the back of higher interest rates and market gains since the U.S. election in November.
Maybe 2017 will be your year, Wells.
Bernie Madoff is the new Hot Chocolate King of the prison yard
Bernie Madoff went to jail almost a decade ago for running a multi-billion dollar Ponzi scheme, but that doesn't mean he's turned his back on the business world. According to a new report, the con-man is making bank in prison by controlling the supply of Swiss Miss.
"Bernie really was a successful businessman with quite original insights into the market, and he's continued applying his business instincts in prison," [says journalist] Steve Fishman. "At one point, he cornered the hot chocolate market. He bought up every package of Swiss Miss from the commissary and sold it for a profit in the prison yard. He monopolized hot chocolate! He made it so that, if you wanted any, you had to go through Bernie."
Steve Cohen's got a lot of problems with you people
For the nearly two decades following its founding in 1992, the hedge fund formerly known as S.A.C. Capital (now known as Point72 Asset Management), clocked in massive returns for its investors. The firm's performance was so great, in fact, that it convinced Preet Bharara, U.S. attorney general for the Southern District of New York, that it was not possible without insider trading. Although prosecutors were unable to bring charges against founder Steve Cohen, they did indict and extract a guilty plea from the firm itself, which led to, among other things, an exodus of veteran traders. It's those ship-jumping bums that Cohen was likely thinking about when this happened:
Cohen's Point72 Asset Management returned about 1 percent in 2016, the second-worst annual performance ever for the billionaire investor, according to people familiar with the returns.
Last year was a comedown for Cohen, who is used to his managers making money no matter the market environment. When he was running his predecessor firm, SAC Capital Advisors, it averaged returns of about 30 percent annually, and posted only one losing year, in 2008, when it dropped almost 28 percent. After SAC pleaded guilty in 2013 to securities fraud and agreed to pay a record $1.8 billion fine and convert to a family office, the firm lost many of its seasoned traders.
Deutsche Bank isn't throwing in the towel just yet
Here are some of the woes Deutsche Bank has faced over the last year: it failed its stress test; a survey of employees (released by Deutsche Bank) revealed more then half of them were embarrassed to tell people they work there; a report by U.K. regulators faulted it for "'serious' lapses in efforts to thwart money laundering"; Germany told the press the government wouldn't save Deutsche Bank if it was the last bank on earth; and it was forced to pay $7.2 billion to the U.S. over its sale of toxic mortgage debt. At this point, some other companies might just say screw it, scrap the whole thing, and go home. But Deutsche Bank still sees a future for itself as an actual, profitable, not flailing firm, and you can tell its really excited about it because it's using sports metaphors. Per Reuters:
[Finance chief] Marcus Schenck's remarks [on Friday] make clear that the bank feels it is finally able to focus on reshaping its core business, after last month agreeing a $7.2 billion penalty over the sale of U.S. toxic mortgage debt—its largest in a long line of legal battles. "We want to go on the offensive," Chief Financial Officer Schenck told a gathering of customers, striking an upbeat tone after months of uncertainty over the fine that had prompted fears that Germany's largest bank would need a state bailout. "We want to score goals," he said, expressing relief that the fine had now been agreed.
A Wall Street brokerage held a pot summit
Cowen & Co. is getting into the weed business. Sayeth Bloomberg:
Analysts at the New York-based company have assembled a trove of data on the burgeoning field of semi-legal marijuana. And on Thursday Cowen [held] its first investor conference devoted to the controversial topic. The firm is betting it's worth the risk to explore an industry that could generate tens of billions of dollars a year—and intersect with many established sectors.
Cowen's investment-banking arm also has dipped its toe into the industry. It served as an adviser to Canopy Growth Corp., a publicly traded medical-marijuana company in Canada that raised $60 million in December.
January would be a good time for Steven Mnuchin to pick up knitting
Trump's nominee for treasury secretary, a.k.a. the Foreclosure King of California, is about to come into some time on his hands. Per Bloomberg:
President-Elect Donald Trump may take power with the top post at the Treasury Department temporarily vacant. A Senate hearing date for his Treasury Secretary nominee, Steven Mnuchin, is set for Jan. 19 at 10 A.M., though Finance Committee rules suggest a final confirmation vote is unlikely before February. That's raising the prospect of a longer-than-usual gap between Trump taking the oath of office Jan. 20 and Mnuchin starting.
While the stakes may not be as high with the U.S. economy stronger now, a slow start for the 54-year-old Mnuchin could hold back plans in the new administration's first 100 days such as labeling China a currency manipulator, as Trump has pledged to do immediately.
Bonuses! Or lack thereof!
Morgan Stanley is cutting 'em by 15 percent, and also cut more than 20 senior investment bankers, "because of a decline in revenue from dealmaking and capital raising across Wall Street," according to Reuters. In other sad bonus news, a rumor is going around that Deutsche Bank's settlement with the U.S. included a pledge not to pay bonuses this year, which officially makes 2016 an annus friggin' horribilis for Deutsche employees.

Welcome to EduInfinite
To provide high quality, student-centered education.
At EduInfinite, students pursue their goals in an environment that values diversity, individuality, mutual respect and free exchange of ideas.
About Us
Our programme is designed to refine the core skills initiated in the primary school. Our extensive study material and flexible approach mean we can offer every student a personalised programme. We believe that every student can excel in Math given the right mentorship and inspiration. We help kids develop a strong mathematical foundation that they will require for higher studies in related areas.
Our teaching style is based on three main principles: inspire, educate and excel. The students can look up to the teachers at our centre for that inspiration. Our education methodology aims to provide in-depth knowledge to students beyond the usual study material. Know more about why you should choose Eduinfinite coaching centre for your kid.
We also provide online maths courses for middle and senior school students which can be accessed from any centre globally. These courses can be purchased from our website and students will be given access to our Learning Management Portal where they will be able to access the specific module for which they have enrolled. Please refer to the "Online Courses" section for details .
We also provide one-to-one maths classes via webex which can be accessed by students from any centre. In order to develop a strong mathematical foundation, students outside Singapore are encouraged to enroll for online coaching. For details, please check "Online Classes" section on our website.
- Mathematics has often been considered a "difficult" subject. Some students also have a tendency to be extremely worried about it. As a specialized mathematics coaching centre, it is our aim to make the students realize that "mathematics can be fun". For learning mathematics, along with classroom teaching, hands-on problem solving by a student is very important. The student has to solve numerous problems on paper and pencil to gain confidence over the subject. As part of our regular class room teaching, we are continuously looking at ways to make the classes interesting and innovative.Our approach involves:– Organising quizzes on different mathematical topics to encouraging critical thinking – ask the students to explain how they would solve a particular problem.
– Motivating students to think "out of the box" and look at different strategies to solve a particular problem.
– Regular online assignments which require to be completed as per timelines.
– Specialised guidance – for students who require extra guidance in certain areas.As teachers, our main aim is to make the students understand the concepts. Once the student is able to grasp concepts, problem solving is easy. To develop a strong foundation, we provide students with course material with practical examples and show them real-life examples where mathematical concepts are applicable. We also encourage them to identify more such scenarios. All these initiatives are used to make mathematics interesting as well as remove the "fear" and "anxiety" which is often associated with this subject.

The watermelon in this recipe is used to make an interesting appetizer, light and fit to begin a summer dinner or a quick snack on hot summer days. A few weeks ago Colleen prepared this recipe, recalling a dish she had eaten at a Polo match in the United States. I really liked and so we decided to include it in the blog.
Preparation time: 15 minutes
(Serves 4)
2 slices of watermelon, cubed
8 oz. feta cheese
8 mint leaves
2 leaves of basil
2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper
- Cut the watermelon into cubes, taking care to remove the seeds.
- Crumble the feta with your hands. Chop the leaves finely aromatic along the length using a chiffonade cut.
- Gather all ingredients in a bowl. Add salt and pepper and a little bit of olive oil.
Mix gently.
- Keep the watermelon in the fridge until time to serve. Serve in individual bowls.

9 But just as it is written: Eye has not seen and ear has not heard, neither have there been conceived in the heart of man the things that God has prepared for those who love him (1 Corinthians 2).
We owe thanks to God and to Jesus and to the holy spirit and to a certain International Bible Student for this one. It all started like this:
27 Next he said to Thomas: Put your finger here, and see my hands, and take your
hand and stick it into my side, and stop being unbelieving but become believing.
28 In answer Thomas said to him: My Lord and my God! (John 20).
Lets us clear our minds of any preconceptions and open our hearts to the love of God and be certain that he knows more than we presently do and that he will instruct us through his word. OK? Are we sitting comfortably? Right then...
Jesus did not rebuke Thomas
for calling him his God. Jesus' response was:
29 Jesus said to him: Because you have seen me have you believed? Happy are those who do not see and yet believe (John 20)
So Jesus did not deny and therefore by omission confirmed that he was God to Thomas after he died. Whereas before he died things were different...
17 And as he was going out on his way, a certain man ran up and fell upon his knees before him and put the question to him: Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit everlasting life?
18 Jesus said to him: Why do you call me good? Nobody is good, except one, God (Mark 10).
So Jesus has progressed from not accepting being called 'good' before his sacrifice to accepting being called 'God' after his sacrifice. Quite a progression!
Then Paul tells us:
9 For this very reason also God exalted him to a superior position and kindly gave him the name that is above every [other]
10 so that in the name of Jesus every knee should bend of those in heaven and those on earth and those under the ground,
11 and every tongue should openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2).
Whereas Paul also says of Jehovah:
11 For it is written: As I live, says Jehovah, to me every knee will bend down, and every tongue will make open acknowledgment to God (Romans 14).
So Jesus is getting the knee bending and vocal acknowledgement that Jehovah is getting. But we read in Revelation that John fell down at the feet of the angel (not the angel Michael) who was showing him the vision twice:
10 At that I fell down before his feet to worship him. But he tells me: Be careful! Do not do that! All I am is a fellow slave of you and of your brothers who have the work of witnessing to Jesus. Worship God; for the bearing witness to Jesus is what inspires prophesying (Revelation 19).
9 And there came one of the 7 angels who had the 7 bowls which were full of
the 7 last plagues, and he spoke with me and said: Come here, I will show you
the bride, the Lamb's wife.
10 So he carried me away in [the power of the] spirit to a great and lofty mountain, and he showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God (Revelation 21).
7 And, look! I am coming quickly. Happy is anyone observing the words of the
prophecy of this scroll. (Says Jesus)
8 Well, I John was the one hearing and seeing these things. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel that had been showing me these things.
9 But he tells me: Be careful! Do not do that! All I am is a fellow slave of you and of your brothers who are prophets and of those who are observing the words of this scroll. Worship God (Revelation 22 - says the angel of Revelation 21:9,10).
Now making an acknowledgement on one's knees is not necessarily worship, but the point is that the holy spirit stepped in to prevent further idolatry in the case of John, so why did Jesus not rebuke Thomas?
The answer is that Jesus was elevated in status from an angel to a God requiring worship, after he died and was given the name above every other name named.
9 For this very reason also God exalted him to a superior position and kindly gave him the name that is above every [other] name (Philippians 2).
20 with which he has operated in the case of the Christ when he
raised him up from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly
21 far above every government and authority and power and lordship and every name named, not only in this system of things, but also in that to come (Ephesians 1).
5 For example, to which one of the angels did he ever say:
You are my son; I, today, I have become your father? And again: I myself shall become his father, and he himself will become my
6 But when he again brings his Firstborn into the inhabited earth, he says: And let all God's angels do obeisance to/worship him.
7 Also, with reference to the angels he says: And he makes his angels spirits, and his public servants a flame of fire.
8 But with reference to the Son: God is your throne forever and ever, and [the] scepter of your kingdom is the scepter of
9 You loved righteousness, and you hated lawlessness. That is why God, your God, anointed you with [the] oil of exultation more than your partners (Hebrews 1).
4 but who with power was declared God's Son according to the spirit of holiness by means of resurrection from the dead yes, Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans1).
So God became Jesus' father in a new way when he was resurrected, in a way that no other angel had experienced, in a way that meant all God's angels should do obeisance to him or worship him. So he became a God to be worshipped, like his father Jehovah. He became his true divine son, a second true God. At the time Paul wrote his letters, in fact at the time of his resurrection from the dead, Jesus was a Mighty God, a God requiring worship like Jehovah, but he was not Almighty God, who is Jehovah himself...
6 For there has been a child born to us, there has been a son given to us; and the princely rule will come to be upon his shoulder. And his name will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9).
Jesus earned this increased status together with the rights of the firstborn angelic son of God, when he gave his life for us and to prove God's messianic prophecies correct. Hence Paul says...
14 See therefore that we have a high priest who has passed through the heavens [like a child passes through a school, to rise above them and become a God to be worshipped], Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold on to our confessing [of him] (Hebrews 4).
Now here is the wisdom of God, given to a certain 16 year old sister, in 2003, who got this huge understanding. Because really what is the name that is above every other name? Not 'a' name, but 'the' name. Well it is 'Jehovah'. So Jesus was baptised into God's name when he died - see I32. He finally took on the family name. That makes him a God, a God to be worshipped. The Holy Spirit was the priest for this baptism (because she wears God's name, being his wife, but no individual angel did at that time). It is the greatest of all of our understandings and it came from the youngest of all the LWs and a sister. That is our God for you. But this sister turned apostate and left, that is Satan for you. Mind you she has since returned - thanks to the love of God, her father.
25 At that time Jesus said in response: I publicly praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and intellectual ones and have revealed them to babes (Matthew 11).
Do not think that God is unaware of the modern usage of the term 'babe'!
Jesus is God, a mighty God, a God to be worshipped, like Jehovah. But he is not almighty God. He has been elevated from a creation to a true God. He has also given up his angelic body for ransoming purposes and is now resident in a spirit body like God's spirit body, presumably somewhat different from an angelic body. This is a big understanding and we are not going any further with it here. We have enough to get through to you as it is. But we do come from a family of Gods, and our destiny is to be Gods, yes, Gods like Jehovah.
Also, I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world and I am coming to you. Holy Father, watch over
them on account of your own name which you have given me, in order that they may be one
just as we are.
12 When I was with them I used to watch over them on account of your own name which you have given me; and I have kept them, and not one of them is destroyed except the son of destruction, in order that the scripture might be fulfilled (John 17).
This shows that Jesus took Jehovah's name at the last supper, presumably through his drinking of the cup of the ARC - see U15 on the research site. He also left the world when he was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane and went into the heart of the earth for 3 days and 3 nights (which means the centre of the organisation of God - see U251). This is why Jesus said: I am no longer in the world. His ministry to Israel had ended.
40 For just as Jonah was in the belly of the huge fish
3 days and 3 nights, so the Son of man will be in the heart of the
earth 3 days and 3 nights (Matthew 12).
There is a simple slam dunk proof that Jesus is now a God in Revelation 20...
6 Happy and holy is anyone having part in the resurrection, the first, over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of the Christ [who therefore must be a God], and will reign with him for the 1,000 years.
If you have a priest to you, then you are a God.
There are some old testament scriptures which if not translated carefully appear at first sight to contradict the above...
39 See now that I--I am he
And there are no gods with me [ydm[] [standing with me, standing up to me, of equal status to me, of my stature].
I put to death, and I make alive.
I have severely wounded, and I--I will heal,
And there is no one snatching out of my hand (Deuteronomy 32).
45 I am Jehovah and there is no other, apart from me [without me, with me removed] there is no God (Isaiah 45).
These things were true when spoken before Jesus died. But after his death the only begotten God joined Jehovah in the Pantheon. So then a new answer was given to the binary question asked in 2Samuel22...
31 As for the [true] God, perfect is his way; The saying of Jehovah is a refined one. A shield he is to all those taking refuge in him.
32 For who is a God besides Jehovah, And who is a rock besides our God? (2 Samuel 22 NWT).
In a tragic and blasphemous reversal the church he founded, the Watchtower, rejected this divine understanding of their cornerstone. Russell said in Studies in the Scripture Part2, the time is at hand, p155...
"It is the same Jesus who has experienced 2
changes of nature, from spirit to human, and from human to divine." (C.T.
27 Next he said to Thomas: Put your finger here, and see my hands, and take your
hand and stick it into my side, and stop being unbelieving but become believing.
28 In answer Thomas said to him: My Lord and my God! (John 20).
4 Now concerning the eating of foods offered to idols, we know
that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but
one [STE, SCR, BYZ, Griesbach include the word 'other'. TIS, TRE, WHO, NA27,
UBS4 do not] [Other is meant in addition to
Jesus by the holy spirit but perhaps not by Paul. So 'other' is canonical we
5 For even though there are those who are called Gods, whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many Gods and many Lords,
6 there is actually to us one God the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are, and we through him (1 Corinthians 8)
32 'I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob'? He is the God, not of the dead, but of the living (Matthew 22).
How can Thomas call Jesus his Lord and his God, without being rebuked, and yet Paul say that 'to us' there is one God, Jehovah? Well the answer lies in the definition of 'us' which was the Corinthian congregation. There was only one God of the entire congregation. But Jesus was also a God of the subset of that church who were also his sons. This subset contained the sons of the 1NC which he mediated and the ARC which he mediated. Jesus is the God of those to whom he is a covenant father.
In this presence he is the father of the entire saintly covenant tree and so is the father of 2NC saints as well. Paul eventually received the crown of life, so he was sealed and so a son of Jesus through the ARC, which means that his sons through the ELC became grandsons of Jesus which are sons to the Hebrew. All mediators of spirit baptism covenants will be sealed into the ARC, so in that way Jesus becomes the father of all of the saints. Paul said...
8 From this time on there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me as a reward in that day, yet not only to me, but also to all those who have loved his manifestation (2Timothy 4).
Paul was already sealed/declared righteous in the flesh being the second antitypical Elijah, having the water baptism for TCC2. So this was his righteous decree in the spirit - the end of his spirit baptism test.
So Jehovah is the one and only God of all mankind as a group.
Jesus is also the God of the saints.
The saints have two Gods.
Jehovah is the God of the judicially living and the judicially dead but he is not the God of the physically dead either in the first death or in the second death.
So all those who are dead but have faith should pray to and worship Jehovah,
not Jesus.
But all those who are judicially living, sanctified in spirit should pray to and worship both Jehovah and Jesus.
In the days of the LCC, Jehovah was the God of Abraham and his sons genetically who were to be circumcised. The land inheritance went eventually to Jacob and his sons, not any other sons of Abraham. But all the sons of Abraham who were circumcised were God's official covenanted people whilst the LCC was in force. However the 1AC was for all the families of the ground, and so God's unofficial people were everyone with the faith of Abraham.
1 And Jehovah proceeded to say to Abram: Go your way out of your country and from your relatives and from the house of your father to the country that I shall show you;
2 and I shall make a great nation out of you and I shall bless you and I will make your name great; and prove yourself a blessing.
3 And I will bless those who bless you, and him that calls down evil upon you I shall curse, and all the families of the ground will certainly bless themselves by means of you. (Genesis 12 NWT)
59 And they went on casting stones at Stephen as he made
appeal and said: Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
60 Then, bending his knees, he cried out with a strong voice: Lord, do not charge this sin against them. And after saying
this he fell asleep [in death] (Acts 7).
Stephen called Jesus Lord, after Pentecost, and of course Stephen was sealed, so Jehovah was his one and only God. Yet he could cry out to Jesus, his Lord and eternal father. Jesus was the father of his spirit, hence he entrusted the same to him. So today we can ask our Lord Jesus to bless us out loud, this is not an act of worship. But we cannot pray to Jesus if we are sealed in the spirit.
We know from the Gospel of Philip that Jesus entered into the body of God to be born as a God. Quoting from this Gnostic text...
The chrism [is a passing of a baptism test, a particular type of anointing] is superior to baptism [which is the entrance into a baptism test], for it is from the word "Chrism" that we have been called "Christians," certainly not because of the word "baptism" [Well that nails the baptist church then!]. And it is because of the chrism [the passing of the test of Jesus baptism as far as death on the stake] that "the Christ" has his name [which name is Jehovah]. For the Father anointed [chose] the Son [God anointed Jesus and Jesus anointed Paul], and the Son [Jesus of God and Paul of Jesus] anointed [chose] the apostles [Jesus chose those of FDS1 and Paul chose those of FDS2], and the apostles anointed us [they water baptise in a chain every member of their tribe]. He who has been anointed possesses everything [he has everlasting life]. He possesses the resurrection, the light, the cross, the Holy Spirit. The Father gave him this in the bridal chamber; he merely accepted (the gift). The [the character of the] Father was in the Son and the [spirit of the] Son [was] in the [the divine body of the] Father [after his resurrection before he split off in his own divine body becoming a true God]. This is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Once the son has grasped and accepted and fully incorporated the righteousness and love of Jehovah into his own character, then God will incorporate the spirit of that son into his own body and then divide that body in two creating a new God. And there is the whole plan of the Kingdom of Heaven in one sentence.
This is not such an alien concept. Every mother gives birth in this way. In fact the Father becomes the mother when he gives birth to a God, and to paraphrase Jesus, what has been born from flesh is flesh, what has been born from spirit is spirit and what has been born from God is God. So God is the father of our flesh and our spirit but the mother of our divinity.

Easy Hummus Spread
Some years ago I went through a hummus phase. I was constantly craving hummus and with every batch prepared the outcome became more lemony or more garlicky. I not only enjoyed eating said hummus and impressing my family and friends with this homemade goodness, but I also enjoyed the fact that it was so easy to prepare. There is a certain satisfaction to preparing something delicious so quickly and with very little clean up.
This particular recipe of the very popular Middle Eastern spread is based off of an original Rachael Ray recipe discovered during my hummus phase. I don't make this as often as I used to, but I still consider it a pretty solid go-to recipe if I'm ever in a pinch. Say, a friend calls and wants to swing by to say hello. Keep a can of chickpeas in your cupboard and without hesitation you'll be saying "No problem! See you soon!" as you plug-in the food processor and grab the can opener.
1 can (15 ounce) chick peas (garbanzo beans)
1/2 cup tahini
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, more if you like it with a lot of kick
1 tablespoon Sriracha
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 clove garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt, more to taste
dash of pepper
Juice of one lemon, more to taste
Drain chick-peas. Pile everything into the food processor bowl and combine into a smooth paste. Add additional olive oil as needed to create a smooth consistency. Adjust lemon, spice and salt according to your taste.
Serve this spread with vegetables, crackers, or pita bread.

Sevens wrote:I think we discussed powder coated cast bullets in another of your threads. Since that time I have had the chance to work up a load and even chrono it in .357 Magnum through my Ruger 77/357 bolt action rifle. Using a 180-grain powder coated slug, I can send them over 1,500 fps consistently (18-inch barrel) and this without a trace of ANYTHING left in my bore.
Very, very happy with these, and I had to comment because your post made it seem as though powder coated slugs may not be good for velocity-- I can say that in my application (obviously different than yours), they seem to LOVE the speed!
Funny you should mention - I've been playing with .357 Mag powder coated bullets for high speed applications as well. I don't have my data in front of me but the short version is that the 130-gr coated RNFPs can motor along quite fast from .357 Mag guns. The 20" barreled lever action rifle gets them really hopping along.
All of which is new territory for me, because before this I saw powder coated as strictly something cheap/clean to use for low-velocity practice ammo. I have rolled many hundreds of .38 Spl, .44 Spl, and .45 ACP with coated bullets for practice rounds and been quite pleased. I'm sure I'll continue to do so, too. I still like my plated rounds, of course, but coated sure is nice. The trial boss loads described in this thread are essentially ".500 Specials" loaded in magnum cases. As we've frequently discussed, when shooting for low-speed/low-recoil you might worry a bit with plated/jacketed bullets. Not so with bare lead (which I don't like to use) or coated (which I am really starting to like).
I also have some .300 Blackout rounds made with 158-gr coated RNFPs that I will chrono here soon.
