the perfect day
How would you spend the perfect day?
This is a topic I've been meaning to blog about for years. It's something I think about often. Why don't I just take a day off every month and treat myself to the perfect day? How would I spend an entire day if I could do whatever I wanted? But, there's so much pressure to make day completely perfect that I've never come up with the answer. I know that's silly, but I'm a perfectionist. (And the most perfect days are probably unplanned anyway, but bear with me...)
As I was thinking about this topic today, I sat down and started drawing the perfect day in my sketchbook - rough little (imperfect!) symbols painted with a tiny brush dipped in india ink: wake up to sunshine, go for a hike among pine trees, wear stretchy pants, bake bread, eat tacos, nap on the couch, take a hot bath...
(I really didn't mean to paint my day in emojis, but when I went to post an Instagram picture of my sketchbook, I realized that my perfect day could pretty much be summarized in emojis. *thumbs up emoji*)
No big surprise, my perfect day revolves around FOOD. *pig emoji* According to my sketch, I think I'll be able to eat pancakes, strawberries, muffins, cheese, bread, pizza, ice cream, tacos, sandwiches, cake, donuts, and cookies (clearly I have a sweet tooth) all in one day and then wash it down with cocktails, wine, AND beer? My so-called perfect day may be my last day if I keep that up! *crying emoji*
When I think back to the most memorable days in my life, I realize that my most perfect days have been spent on vacation. Larry and I travel well together and get along best when we're traveling. We both enjoy an equal mix of exploring and relaxing. Nothing beats waking up in a cabin, spending the day together hiking and appreciating nature, feasting on delicious foods, and snuggling by a fire with a bottle of wine at night. (Snuggling my husband, not the wine.) But every day can't be a vacation day (unless maybe you're a National Geographic photographer...) So what about the everyday perfect days? The ones where you wake up in your own bed and spend the day in your own town? Why can't those be perfect and memorable, too?
So let's establish some ground rules and say you can't fly to Hawaii/Paris/St. Lucia/Santorini/New Zealand/insert your dream location here. You have to wake up in your own bed and spend the day within driving distance of your home. You didn't become a millionaire overnight either, so let's say you can't buy a Lamborghini on your perfect day. (You can't fly to Mars either, Larry.) *rocket ship emoji*
What would you do? (And what's stopping you from doing it?) *fist bump emoji*

Breakfast of coffee and chocolate croissant
Long hike (or some outdoor activity) and outdoor picnic, most likely involving cheese and bread
Cooking at home (I'm going to insert eating a hamburger in here since we're talking about a perfect day and b/c it's like the only meat thing I crave. Maybe throw in some ice cream too.) Good book, fire, kitties, some relaxing tunes playing in the background
My perfect day is pretty boring. Even when traveling I essentially follow the formula above no matter where I am.

Completely agree with this, Veronika - this is pretty much my perfect day, too (just trade dogs for the kitties!) Forgot about chocolate croissants, but now I want one! Glad to see I'm not the only one who's perfect day revolves around eating!
And you're right - I pretty much follow the same formula, too. Any day with good food, walking around in nature, books, music, and snuggling the pets *is* pretty perfect!

Another perfect day scenario for me that is equally boring involves hanging out with family at my mom's and being force fed home cooked food while we do absolutely jack squat except eat. Perhaps somewhere in the middle of eating we'll roam around the local HEB (awesome Texas grocery store that btw now sells online) and spend hours a)trying samples b)deciding which craft beers to purchase c)loading our cart with weird snacks to eat...bc obvi we need to eat more d)browsing the "local products" area that sells crafts and such e)buying way too much stuff we can't finish in one trip or won't fit in our luggage.
So essentially, yeah, it boils down to perfect day = eating. (+ Cuddly animals + outdoors/outing of some sort + and friends/family/spouse)

12 Oct Cha Jones Talks to Us About Boarding Pass
We spoke with Cha Jones, President of Expat Women of Color and founder of Boarding Pass, an intercultural education program for ladies in high school who have not had the opportunity to travel internationally. The aim is to help these young women know themselves better and introduce them to a world of intercultural understanding and learning.
Boarding Pass is one of four organizations that will be supported by DreamFest Digital, our all virtual conference for entrepreneurial leaders. Cha is also one of the dynamic speakers set to talk about leadership during DreamFest.
Our questions, and Cha's answers, are below.
What makes exchange programs beneficial?
They allow individuals to grow. When one steps outside their comfort zone, they often are able to see what they take for granted. It's a processes of expansion.
What have been the challenges in moving this program forward?
I think that the biggest challenge has been getting people to see the value. Often people will take their children on a trip to an amusement park, but they can't see the value in allowing their children to see the world. Travel is the one thing that you invest in that makes you richer because of the experience, but it's easier to take a child to the amusement park and have them be entertained. The children will remember the experience, but in most cases, it isn't adding value. They aren't being changed by the experience and that is what I think many people miss when they don't see the value of intercultural educational trips.
What's an example of an account where an exchange program has had visible results of growth on the individual?
There is a documentary called, "Beyond the Wall," which puts a different face on study abroad. It shows 4 black students who get the opportunity to study abroad and it discusses how they are changed or impacted. It's amazing because you see how the students get this wonderful opportunity to leave their environment, some of which are not the best, and they get to see how other people live. You witness how they realize that people are more alike than different. One the of the other things that I loved about this documentary is that these students are making an impact on their friends and family because they get to live through their experiences. So, I guess I would say that before these students had a narrow view of the world, but after traveling and studying abroad they were exposed to other cultures and now have a broader view of the world and how people in general, all want many of the same things.
What makes you excited about this program? How can it be emphasized how wonderful of a program this is?
I am excited about this program because I personally know what it feels like to get off a plane in a foreign country and really explore something different and it is amazing. I am excited because I want young women who look like me to know that the world is indeed flat when it comes to being able to connect and reach other people and cultures. Sometimes it is really easy to have a false sense of yourself, but traveling really gives you the opportunity to get to know yourself and at the same time see other people with a different lens, one that is not filtered by the media or propaganda. So, I am super excited to be able to help young people broaden their horizons and get outside their comfort zones.
What are the benefits of connecting people from different parts of the world?
The real benefits I think I mentioned before, but it's to realize that we as people are more alike than different. As humans, we all fundamentally want the same things. We may look different and even speak a different language but we all want to be seen, heard, and appreciated. We all want to have a good life and take care of our families.

Milton Keynes council has backed the launch of a commercial WiMax service in Milton Keynes, delivered by Freedom4, formerly known as Pipex Wireless.
The service, promised in September, will offer broadband without a phone line, for £20 for consumers and £60 for businesses, through ConnectMK,, a company owned by Milton Keynes Council. It builds on a trial that Pipex has been running
Freedom4's emailed release claims this is the "first commercial WiMax service". Although Urban Wimax has been offering Wimax in London since March 2006, Freedom4 has access to licensed spectrum, while Urban uses unlicensed and light-licensed bands.
In fact, ConnectMK aims to provide better broadband to Milton Keynes residents, who are hampered by the poor infrastructure of the area, which is unlikely to be improved by BT's 21CN network. So far around 1000 people have signed up, and ConnectMK expects to sign them up quickly, loaning computers to less well-off residents, to help with the council's digital inclusion aims.
"Our aim is to make Milton Keynes the first WiMax-powered wireless internet city, and partnering with Freedom4 enables us to drive forward our ambitions," explains Steven Jewell, who is both chief executive of ConnectMK Ltd, and head of IT at Milton Keynes Council.
The company aims to turn a profit, driven by WiMax's ability to deliver services that are attractive to business users, because they are symmetric, offering a higher uplink than ADSL. The symmetric version of ADSL, known as SDSL is not so widely available as ADSL, and is more expensive.
ConnectMK's business service has a £45 set-up fee, and then costs £60, £100 or £160 per month, for symmetrical 1 Mbit/s, 2 Mbit/s or 4 Mbit/s services, with data limits of 20, 40 or 80 Gbyte.
The residential packages are asymmetrical, and cost £20, £25 or £50 for 1/0.5, 2/0.5 and 2/1 Mbit/s services, with 10 20 or 40 Gbyte limits.
Freedom4 is backed by Intel Capital, and has promised a cautious roll-out of WiMax services in the UK.

A loss to the Coptic Orthodox and to the world
No matter how expected the death of HH Shenouda III was for me due to his long illness, I still couldn't but feel that the world has lost a man of faith who always held Christ in his heart and the Cross in his hand.
I first got to know Pope Shenouda when I was Assistant General Secretary of the Middle East Council of Churches in Cyprus and he was one of the four co-Presidents representing the family of Oriental Orthodox Churches. And the last time I met him was few years ago in London with Bishop Nathan, the then Primate of the Armenian Church in the UK.
Everyone knows how Bible-centred and exegetical the Pope of the Coptic Orthodox Church was and how he could easily speak for hours to his fellow church leaders as well as to audiences who came to listen to him every week. Moreover, many people also know the remarkable devotion and fondness a lot of Egyptian Copts had for him.
However, few are those who might still recall the harrowing times Pope Shenouda experienced during the late President Anwar Sadat's time, or the fact that this man was very much a monk at heart. Even fewer people outside Egypt are perhaps aware of his deep sense of humour that was so personal but also so Egyptian.
As Egypt undergoes the painful ructions of an uncertain revolution and the grave pitfalls of unclear change, not least in terms of Muslim-Christian relations, I hope that the successor to Pope Shenouda will manage to lift up the incredibly rooted Christian faith that Egyptian Copts possess - both in their homeland and across many other parts of the world.
My thoughts turn to all the friends of the Coptic Church whom I have met over long decades - not least Anba Angaelos and Metropolitan Seraphim here in the UK.
With his death, our Lenten season has become even more sober and perhaps also more meaningful.

RadiciGroup sustainability case studies
On 23 March, during the morning session, "CIRCULAR ECONOMY: REAL PATHS TO SUSTAINABILITY", Susanna Caprotti (RadiciGroup Performance Plastics) and Maria Teresa Betti (RadiciGroup Sustainable Communication) gave a presentation entitled "From jackets to automobiles: nylon's certified path to sustainability". The objective was to demonstrate how the use of ecodesign could reduce the environmental impact of a product – from the production processes and materials used to the end of life, including the potential recycling of the product itself.
Two sustainability cases were brought to the attention of the engineers and technical professionals in the audience (who received free T-shirts made of RadiciGroup Radilon® nylon). The first case was an experimental pilot project, carried out by all the players in the Group production chain, to recycle wheel trim for reuse in automotive applications, while the second was a 100% nylon vest (fabric, lining, zipper, labels, snaps, etc.) that could be completely recycled at the end of its useful life through extrusion, so as to find a new use in the plastics industry.
As Ms. Caprotti and Ms. Betti emphasized during their talk, "the challenge is to conceive of and realize single-material components designed for disassembly (and this also goes for garments and other products), which can be recycled simply and quickly after separating the different pieces, without sacrificing performance, style, comfort and consumer needs.
Today, RadiciGroup is the only European group able to monitor its entire production process, from polymer chemicals to the manufacture of synthetic fibres and engineering plastics, as well as end- of-life recycling.
The materials are used in numerous application sectors, particularly automotive, furnishings and apparel, and are manufactured using strictly controlled corporate purchase and production processes in order to limit consumption and emissions.
Additionally, in the Circular Economy Arena 4.0, during the session on 22 March dedicated to "NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN COMPOSITE MATERIALS", Erico Spini, marketing & application development director Europe of RadiciGroup Performance Plastics, took the floor to discuss the Group's experience in the use of recycled carbon fibre in the thermoplastics field. The goal of his presentation, entitled "Recycled carbon fibre for thermoplastics: opportunities and technical problems", was to highlight the potential advantages and technological challenges to overcome in the use of recycled carbon fibre. By virtue of its high mechanical properties, carbon fibre can be used in metal replacement and, thanks to its low specific weight, is suitable for the lightweighting of parts. Moreover, by adding carbon fibre, possibly together with other additives, good thermal conductibility can be obtained without significantly compromising mechanical properties.
"Today, we are not yet producing a recycled carbon fibre-filled polyamide compound," noted Mr. Spini, "but we are working on several promising products combining high performance and a competitive price, with the further benefit of lower environmental impact. Based on preliminary comparative data, we note that 30% recycled carbon fibre-filled polyamide (using recyclate from a well-defined source) has mechanical properties close to those measured for products using virgin carbon fibre. These encouraging initial results have to be confirmed by analysing more production lots and testing recycled carbon fibre of different origins."

Our long term partner Hotel is the Hotel Zillertal (10-15 Minutes by bus).
Our office and the sprint location is at the eastend of Innsbruck at the building called "Soho 2.0". Our office and the location is on the top of the building (penthouse) at 4th floor. Follow the signs we provide inside the building.
Moving around in Innsbruck
Innsbruck is unfortunately rare of parking place and the parking garages are expensive.
So the best way is to take the public transport or go by feet. Price for the public transport at IVB website. You can get a one way ticket in every tram/bus. 5-way tickets are available at the ticket machines. Do not forget to stamp the tickets in the tram/bus, otherwise they are not valid. IVB has also an App with live-schedule and mobile tickets available.
In front of the office building buses F, R and T (direction "Rumer Hof") are stopping.
In most of the buses and all tram lines free Wifi is available (1h+500MB per day).
Arrival by train
Going by train is not only comfortable, eco-friendly and stress-free – quite often it is also the most pocket-friendly way of travelling. Lean back and get into the holiday spirit as soon as you leave home. International train connections to all European capital cities click here for timetables
Arrival by plane
Innsbruck has its own Airport (timetable) with connections to some European cities. The next international airport is Munich - from there take the train (~2 ½h) or an special airport taxi (Four Seasons) or a slow, but cheap bus.
At Innsbruck airport you'll find taxis to take you to your accommodation. If you prefer public transport bus "F" takes you to the centre within minutes: from 5.59 am until 10.59 pm daily the bus takes you within 17 minutes to the main station Innsbruck past the old town and Maria-Theresien-Straße (main street) and also to our office at the "Grabenweg" bus stop.
Arrival by car
Right in the heart of Europe, Innsbruck is very conveniently located. A well-developed road network connects the Tyrolean capital to the world.
A 12 Autobahn network (East and West) easily accessible from all directions (toll sticker - compulsory "Vignette" - required on all motorways!). Extra toll fees are also charged on the A 13 Autobahn starting at Innsbruck South entrance (from Italy, Brenner) and coming from the west through the Arlberg tunnel. Please consider the "Rettungsgasse" (rescue lane) on the motorways in Austria.
You can see the office building from the highway, when you come from the direction munich on the right side. It's close to the highway exit "Innsbruck Ost". After you exit you have to take the very first exit on the right side (be careful). In the first circle you take the second exit, the second circle take the first exit, then after ~200m you arrived.
There is a parking garage at SOHO 2.0. It costs 5 € a day. This is very cheap for Innsbruck. But maybe you can get a parking lot for free in front of the building or in the streets near by (if you are here before 9 o'clock or at weekends chances are good).
Food, Social and Sport in Innsbruck
Social Events and Food
You can find traditional and modern Austrian dishes as well as international restaurants. Innsbruck has a lot of restaurants but it is famous for its tourist traps. So I will choose some restaurants and make reservations (because we are a couple of people). I hope it is in your opinion. On Friday evening we will be again at the Seegrube.
If you need more party: The university of Innsbruck is the largest university of west Austria. Therefore you find in Innsbruck a lot of bar's and pubs. Very famous is the party area "die Bögen"(archs, viaduct bars), under the railway.
Winter SportsThree times host to the Winter Olympics, our region boasts nine ski areas for alpine skiing, snowboarding and cross-country skiing. Our winter sports menu also includes tobogganing, ice skating, alpine-style curling and even a ride in an Olympic bobsleigh. The free ski bus is convenient and environmentally friendly.

"All language professionals have suffered the consequences of a general malaise about language study which has long been present among the general public - an inevitable consequence of two centuries of language teaching in which prescriptivism and purism produced a mentality suspicious of diversity, variation, and change, and a terminology whose Latinate origins crushed the spontaneous interest in language of most of those who came into contact with it."
There, thats got your attention, hasnt it? But no, this is not the start of another rant about grammar, its a quotation from a recent book by linguist and prolific author David Crystal about something altogether more serious, the fact that the worlds stock of languages is currently dwindling at a terrifying rate - "a linguistic crisis of unprecedented scale" as the author puts it in his Preface. To give you a hint as to what he means, lets try a little quiz. (The answers are at the end.)
1. How many languages are there on our planet?
2. What is the average number of speakers of each of those?
3. How many people are the most used 4% of the worlds languages spoken by?
4. How many indigenous languages are there in Africa?
5. How many of them are used as a medium of secondary education?
The structure of the book is straightforward. It is organised into five chapters. Each of them begins by posing a question - What is language death? Why should we care? Why do languages die? Where do we begin? What can be done? - and then tries to answer it. It lies beyond the scope of a review like this to summarise the arguments Crystal marshals in his endeavours to provide those answers, but I was impressed. What impressed me?
First, the book is a work of real scholarship. Throughout it, Crystal avoids simplistic notions and instead tries to address the issues he is considering in their full complexity and as fairly and from as many angles as possible. Examples are drawn from all over the world; opening the book at a random pair of pages I find mentioned three indigenous Peruvian languages, Maya, Aztec, Gikuyu from East Africa, Ainu from Japan, Welsh, and Alaskan Tlingit (pp 84-5). General points are illustrated by pertinent examples and an array of statistics and sources is deployed in support of the arguments the author presents. Pithy quotes are here in abundance, too, and even the footnotes were at times a delight - one that caught my eye managed to bring together Umberto Eco, the Holy Bible, and the Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy within the space of eleven lines!
Second, the way he organises his often complex arguments and the language he uses in order to present them are very reader-friendly. No one could deny that David Crystal has a real passion for what he is writing about and an enviable way with words that helps him to put his message across: "There is no such thing as a primitive language, and every language is capable of great beauty and expression. Fears and hatreds pay no attention to facts." (p 30) and "It is notable that the nations which are most monolingual in ability and attitude are those with a history of major religious or colonial expansion." (p 45) are just two of the numerous bons mots I found myself scribbling down as I went through the book.
Third, and most important perhaps, the case he makes is a telling one. "It is already too late for hundreds of languages. For the rest, the time is now." (p x) So sad, too bad, you might say, secure in your English or Czech or Polish or whatever, but what does it really matter to me? Languages, Crystal tells us in Chapter 2, are worth saving because we need diversity, because they express identity, because they are repositories of history, because they contribute to the sum of human knowledge, and because they are interesting in themselves. "As each language dies, a precious source of data is lost." (p 53)
While we as individuals cannot necessarily do much about it in our everyday lives, there are contributions we can make in our roles as teachers: encouraging respect for diversity; raising awareness among those we teach and those we work with, and; working with peoples hearts and minds - beginning with our own. As language teachers we are in the business of educating people to function better in the increasingly homogeneous and globalised world of the 21st century; one of the downsides is that the very process which makes our skills so marketable (if all too often at bargain rates) is also responsible in no small part for the linguistic crisis described in the book. Another of the hats we wear is that of the linguist, and it behooves us to know as much as we can not only about the language we teach and the mother tongues of those we teach it to but about language itself in a more general sense. This book (all the royalties from which go to the Foundation for Endangered Languages, based in Bath, England) sheds light on a desperately urgent problem in an area of knowledge without which we would all be unemployed. I recommend it to you all.
1. Hard to say, but most estimates are somewhere around 6,000 (p 2ff).
2. Believe it or not, the same again - 6,000 (p 14).
3. of the worlds population (p 14 again).
4. About 1,200 (p 83).
5. Not a single one (p 83 again).

Toddler Travel: Car Travel Tips
Toddler Travel in a car can be very exhausting...so here are a few tips to help make it a little easier. We travel regularly to visit family in car rides lasting anywhere from 1.5 hours to 9 hours since the girls were born. While you can't ensure your baby or toddler will be cheerful the entire way, here are a few toddler travel tips to help the car ride go smoother!
Preparing For the Car Ride
The Snack Bag
Diaper or Potty Bag
As the girls started to potty train, this became filled with extra clothes, potty toppers and pull ups.
Potty Toppers
Portable Potty
Hand Sanitizers
DVD Player
Entertainment For Older Toddler TravellersCar Valet
There are different brands of car valets and trays. These can be very handy for older toddlers if it fits properly in your vehicle or car seat.Toddler Travel Tray
Items to BringHere are a few toddler travel items to consider. Obviously each age will present different needs for your child but here are a few items to consider.
Snack Traps
I like Snack Traps for all toddler travel, car, plane and outings to the Mall. I use a snack traps without the lids now that they are older to distribute snacks in. It's easy for them to hold on to the handle and reduces the number of spills. We use for lunch on the go too...fill with cut fruit, chicken nuggets etc. As mentioned they also have a solid cover as well as the snack trap cover.
Links and Wide Shoelaces
These are helpful for attaching toys and books to the seatbelt or car seat straps. As you know with the space being limited, you don't want to be bending down picking up toys every few minutes. Wide shoelaces are best because they are easier to untie.Wipes
Keep a tub handy for quick clean ups. Wipes specifically for face and hands are also available in small packs or cannisters.Roll of Paper Towels
Keep a roll in the car for unexpected spills or other clean ups.

us oil nationalized soon?
With a net income of $ 40 billion, with sales superior to $ 404 billion, 2007 was a very good year for the commodity, for Exxon Mobil and the oil cartel.
When the price of a gallon of gasoline keeps following exponentially the price of the barrel, it doesn't justify the profit margin achieved by the oil industry.
As an explanation some argue that it is the consequence of the international fierce competition, others simply assert and point the finger at the lack of domestic refinery capacity.
Whose argumentation is more potent, only two options face the future consumers. Either they consciously reduce their own dependence by limiting their consumption, either the government intervenes by adopting the socialist model of nationalization of certain sectors of the economy, presently the energy. Nationalizations will give the green light to the control and the stabilization of the prices. If chosen, it will irrevocably mean questioning the foundations of the US capitalism.
As mush as the latter appears to be unrealistic considering the presence of pressure groups from the industry, the fluctuations of the market and our constant status of dependency, the former is a more viable and applicable solution.
Given that since 2001 the gallon of gasoline almost doubled within 7 years, who would kill the goose that lays the golden egg?
Bearing in mind the worldwide economic conjuncture, the global crisis, I advise any new comer in the world of speculation to invest massively either on the commodity, either on a new BIKE!Tags: privatization an alternative to sky-rocketing prices, privatization of the economy, privatization of the energy, privatization of the energy as a capitalist solution, the oil solution

A teaching for 'the remnant'...you know who you are!
We must all seek a forward advancement in what God shows us and not box in what we 'think' the spiritual route is to the goal.
Part of being 'Pliable' in God's hands is that you esteem His directives higher than your own comfortable life....higher than being esteemed in the sight of man.
Ever get a word through a brother or sister in the Lord, or the Lord tell you something directly...but somehow things or choices just don't pan out perfectly...so you find yourself hanging onto the word, but God has moved on? You see this in 'old moves' of the church. People are going thru the motions but God has moved on...instead of people catching the new wave...they judge what is new & suppress it.
The same thing happens in your own life. You can never allow your perception to box a word from God in. You cannot expect a breakthrough to come by the basket of your perception, that you put all of your eggs into. You have to be "pliable". You have to be pliable because we are in war. In one moment the Sargent says to go here, but there's enemy fire so you have to fall back and follow the creekbed instead. Do you end up at the same target place....eventually, Yes, but if you aren't pliable you won't seek that forward advancement at all...you'll sit there all day and wait for the enemy fire to stop--but what you've spiritually encountered is a WEAPON that's been formed & prospers....and that's no pun intended!
So my son plays an online game....he's downstairs on a computer & I'm upstairs & through the air vent, I can hear him crying. His younger brother comes running up the stairs saying that he didn't get his way in the game. I know just what happened because in the game...to go to a new level & conquer new territory you have to diligently wait along side of other players outside of an elevator. You could wait up to 15 min. for your chance to jump on this elevator that only holds 4 players. So you constantly have to be diligent, not knowing when it will open & you have to constantly move into position. Is it me, or MAN,-- does this sounds so spiritual!? So ya, he missed his chance & it hurt, but today he told me he made it...he kept persevering & moving into position despite the past hurt & blockade. YOU KNOW, you can learn a lot from a child....the Lord shows me a lot fusing my love & desire for the best for my child...that they mirror how He loves each one of us.
So, pliability, people. Are you frustrated? Are you doing the last thing you knew to do but it's going nowhere? Do you feel like you have more & more on your plate? Perhaps it's not that it's actually MORE on your plate, but that God's been trying to show you to shift to the new path to avoid the enemy's fire.
Will you sound schizophrenic to people? Saying one thing this this day & switching it up & doing this other thing the next? Yes, you might....but what is more important...the approval of man or flowing in the spirit of God? Would you put your firstborn on an altar of sacrifice...would you trust Him that much? You have to be completely led by the spirit in this hour!
How many of you allow things to take precedence in your life that preserve what others think about you? You are so afraid of this scripture:
"The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; "...and so on....

A Microsoft representative has stated that the Surface tablet's productivity is far more greater than the iPad Pro's. He also said that Apple's effort at introducing desktop level performance to tablets falls quite short of the desired target. In comparison the Surface tablets are a far better option than the iPad Pro.
He also claimed that the standalone performance that Surface provides is on a whole another level and something that the iPad Pro can never reach. Dan Laycock of Microsoft said "Microsoft really wants you to only carry one device for tablet and PC use, whereas the iPad Pro is always going to be a companion device."
One of the main reason for such a difference between the two is the approach Apple has taken to applications and in general content. Apple has put iOS in the iPad Pro while the Surface has Windows 10 on it.He also added that there are lesser comparisons between the two because Surface essentially is a full PC with all running apps.
He even said in regards to the difference in approaches between Apple and Microsoft "At one point in time, Apple declared that if there's a stylus, that's failure, while we're a huge believer in the pen; we know our customers love it."

Over the Fourth of July weekend my daughter and I planned a getaway to my home of Rock Island, Ill., to visit my brother and his family. It's a 5�-hour trip I've made a hundred times through Missouri, then north on Highway 61 through Iowa following the Mississippi River to Davenport, where we cross over the bridge into Illinois. I was looking forward to it, just the two of us alone with no kids or grandkids, a great opportunity for some mother-daughter bonding.
That was true going up, but coming back was a different story - we had a passenger on the return trip. Not a relative, not a friend, not a hitchhiker - a cat ? c-a-t CAT! What's more, everybody knew this cat was returning with us except ME!
Here's how my surprise unfolded. We were going in my car, and my daughter would do the driving. On the morning of our departure, I drove to her house to pick her up, slid over to the right side and waited while she put her stuff in the trunk. Busy counting my money, I paid no attention to what she was doing.
Off we went, chatting and trying to choose a couple of CDs to agree on. She wanted Toby Keith - whoever he is - and I held out for Barry Manilow. We compromised by listening to the radio. When we were approaching Moberly, I happened to glance in the back and saw what looked like a cage. "What's that?" I asked.
"A pet carrier," my daughter answered quickly, sort of like she was prepared for this question.
"What's it doing in the back seat of my car, and how did it get there?"
"I put it there when I was packing my stuff, and you didn't even notice."
My next logical question was "Why?"
"Wel-l-l-l," she replied, sucking in her breath, "I didn't tell you ahead of time because I didn't want to listen to what you'd say, so I decided to just surprise you."
Again, "Why? Why are we taking a pet carrier to Uncle Dick's?"
Here it came. "Because I'm bringing a cat back with us they're trying to find a home for."
Now she could listen to what I had to say. "Do you mean to tell me we're going to drive 260 miles with a cat in the car? Cats don't like to ride in cars. They go crazy. We'll go crazy."
My daughter has never met an animal she didn't want to bring home and as a child dragged in everything from baby birds to lost St. Bernards. Our backyard looked like a pet cemetery. My one and only experience riding with a cat in the car was not a good one. I was not aware that cats didn't like this mode of transportation, so I just plopped Poopsie - a cat she'd "found" - in the car thinking we'd have a nice little trip to the vet for her shots.
The minute the door closed she started screeching, scratching and jumping around. Then, living up to the name our daughter had given her, she sprayed the upholstery with a sudden attack of diarrhea. I put a makeshift diaper on her for the return trip home. That's when I learned cats don't like to ride in a car.
After my daughter's "confession," our little getaway grew quiet, disintegrating noticeably after only 40 miles. Our bond was being stretched to dangerous limits. I must admit we had a wonderful time at my brother's and especially enjoyed a family cookout with relatives I seldom see anymore. Something else I didn't see at all was the cat. "Where is it?" I asked.
My nephew said he was keeping it at his house until we were ready to leave, then he'd bring it over. "Her name is Daisy, and she has long black and brown fur. She's the sweetest thing, and I'd keep her if I could, but I'm allergic to cats." Yeah, right, the old allergy excuse.
The morning we were leaving, he came over carrying Daisy, her litter box and her toys. As if she knew what was happening, she started growling the minute she saw the car. We didn't prolong our goodbyes, just drove off quickly with Daisy, who refused to get in the carrier and after three blocks had jumped into the back window head first.
My daughter and I didn't talk much on the way back. We couldn't, with the cat prancing and meowing - make that HOWLNG - all the way through Iowa. Her howls were so loud drivers stared and mouthed bad words at us at stoplights in Muscatine, Burlington and Fort Madison. My back seat looked like a furry black and brown carpet. In her distress, she shed so much I expected her to be hairless by the time we got home. Shortly after we passed into Missouri, around Palmyra I think, I felt something snap ? it was the mother-daughter bond.
Our little trio made it home a little worse for wear - my daughter tired from driving, me just plain tired and the cat hoarse from howling. Since then, I'm happy to report Daisy has adapted nicely to her new home but still is sniffing out the three other cats and two dogs she shares the house with.
We're planning on going up to visit my brother again over Labor Day, this time in my daughter's SUV. You can be sure I'll check to see if there are any large cages aboard. Driving with Daisy was bad enough, but if we come back with anything bigger than a hamster, I'll be the one growling and howling for 250 miles.

A season that had started to look so promising for the Maryland football team and a career that began so impressively for freshman quarterback Kasim Hill took a decidedly depressing turn Saturday against Central Florida. Or, more accurately, a terrible spin at Maryland Stadium.
Hill, who got his chance when sophomore Tyrrell Pigrome suffered a season-ending ACL injury in the season-opening win at Texas, sustained what appeared to be a serious right leg injury in the first quarter of what became a shocking 38-10 loss to the Knights.
While crediting UCF for its dominant performance, second-year Maryland coach DJ Durkin was clearly upset with his own team and its inability to recover from the emotional aftermath of Hill's injury as well as stop the Knights and sophomore quarterback McKenzie Milton.
"They made the plays to win the game, but our guys as a team, I think we did not handle adversity well," Durkin said. "I think so far this year in only three games we played, we had adversity that we have handled and now we had some that we didn't.
"That certainly showed. When you play a good team like that, you've got to do it. In all aspects of the game. It was different guys, it was all over. There was a level of play that we were at and it consistently dropped off at different spots at different times."
The injury to Hill came after he spun away for a short gain in the first quarter and was sandwiched to the ground by 311-pound defensive end Jamiyus Pittman and linebacker Chequan Burkett. It appeared that he was hit low from behind and again up high, twisting his body as he fell.
After staying on the field for several minutes in obvious pain, Hill was helped off by trainers, both legs dangling in the air.
The injury appeared to have a major impact on the outcome in terms of Maryland's collective emotion as well as the way UCF was able to attack the Terps defensively.
"That certainly took the wind out of their sails," said second-year UCF coach Scott Frost.
A former college quarterback at Nebraska, Frost said he was "broken-hearted for them, and Kasim."
If as dire as it appeared, it will likely have a huge effect on the season as well. Durkin did not have an update on Hill's injury after the game.
"We'll get him examined. We'll probably know more tomorrow," Durkin said.
Maryland (2-1) opens Big Ten play at Minnesota (3-0) next Saturday.
Sophomore Max Bortenschlager, who replaced Hill, was the only healthy scholarship quarterback available Saturday while redshirt junior transfer Caleb Henderson recovers from a foot injury.
The injuries to Pigrome and Hill are making this season reminiscent of 2012, when the Terps played four different quarterbacks after C.J. Brown tore his ACL in the preseason.
"We just need to respond to adversity," senior linebacker Jermaine Carter Jr. said. "We're always going to face some adversity. Coach does a good job of preparing us on how to handle these situations. We didn't do a good job today. We just have to be better next week."
Not as mobile as Hill or Pigrome, Bortenschlager was under constant pressure from UCF, getting sacked five times and being intercepted twice, one of which was returned for a touchdown after bouncing off the normally reliable hands of junior DJ Moore.
With the Terps lacking a real playmaker at quarterback, the Knights loaded up on Maryland's running game, limiting junior Ty Johnson, who had been averaging more than 15 yards per attempt this season, to 25 yards on 11 carries.
After averaging 315 yards as a team, Maryland was held to just 42 by the Knights. UCF made 11 tackles for loss.
"That's why we talk so much about us being two-dimensional really helps us," said Durkin, whose team converted just two of 13 third-down chances. "That's something we really need to do. To this point this year, we've really be able to. Certainly some of that was taken away."
Neither Durkin nor Johnson blamed Bortenschlager for his team's first loss of the season.
"It wasn't because Max can't execute or Max can't do it; there was a lot of guys that had their fingerprints on how that went today, not just Max," Durkin said. "It starts with the O-line, receivers, running backs, across the board."
Said Johnson, "He played his heart out. It's kind of rough being thrown in a situation like that. … I think he handled it well and he played his hardest."
Though Maryland took a 3-0 lead shortly after Hill was helped off, the offense stagnated under Bortenschlager. The defense, which came in with some energy, seemed to wear out from a combination of its team's short offensive possessions and UCF's fast-paced spread offense.
The Knights, who had not played since their season-opening win over Florida International on Aug. 31 because of Hurricane Irma, rushed for 250 yards total and averaged 6.4 yards per carry.
Milton, whose late fumble led to Maryland's winning touchdown in a 30-24 double-overtime victory last year in Orlando, led UCF (2-0) with 94 rushing yards on six carries, while also completing 18 of 30 passes for 178 yards and a touchdown.
"We let the circumstances somehow affect how we're going to play and respond, and all of a sudden we had breakdowns and a lack of communication," Durkin said. "That was the message to the team — how someone getting hurt on offense can affect how we play on defense, I don't know, or how we play on special teams."
NOTES: Moore provided the only highlight of the game for the Terps, a leaping catch and run for a 20-yard touchdown that cut the deficit to 21-10. It was Moore's fourth touchdown catch of the season and 13th of his career, putting him fifth on the school's all-time touchdown receptions list.

For those of you with defaulted debts, you probably know that the amount of time they can be reported to the credit reporting agencies is no longer than seven years from the date of the default.
And, you may be aware that there's only a finite amount of time the lender can sue you to collect the debt. That time frame is going to based on the state in which you lived when you incurred the debt.
You can read about time barred debts in this article, which I wrote for Mint a couple of years ago.
Still, there is a lot of confusion about how long collectors can attempt to collect debts using non-legal methods.
There are several incorrect assumptions regarding these old debts, sometimes referred to as "Zombie Debts."
Debts Can Never Be Collected After They've Been Removed From Your Credit Reports
This is definitely incorrect.
In fact, there's no obligation, legal or otherwise, for a creditor or collector to ever report anything to the credit reporting agencies.
And while placing a 3rd party collection is regarded as an attempt to collect a debt, it certainly doesn't play any role in whether or not payment for old debts can be pursued.
When a Debt Becomes Time-Barred It Can No Longer Be Reported to Credit Reports
Again, this is incorrect.
The amount of time a debt in collections can be reported to the credit bureaus is seven years and that period of time is not influenced in any way by the state laws that define when a debt becomes time-barred.
In fact, there isn't one state where a debt becomes time-barred after seven years. Bad debts will be on a credit report longer than when a debt becomes time-barred in some 18 states.
If You Make a Payment on an Old Debt You Reset The Clock of Credit Reporting
No, this is incorrect.
Nothing…I repeat…nothing you do will cause a bad debt to remain on a credit report longer than seven years as allowed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
You can pay it off in installments, you can never pay it, you can settle it, or you can dispute it…nothing you do will cause it to remain longer than seven years.
Even if the debt is sold from one collection agency to another the newer collection, it has to also be removed seven years from the date the original account went into default, not seven years from the date the new collector purchased the debt.
If You Make a Payment on an Old Debt You Reset The Time-Barred Clock
This is true.
Many debtors find themselves getting into trouble because they're trying to do the right thing by making payments on ancient debts.
Let's say you incurred a debt in Maryland and went into default. A collector could only sue you for three years afterwards.
But, if you choose to make a payment on the defaulted debt at year three you've essentially restarted the clock and could get sued any time in the next three years.
Some collectors will attempt to get the debtor to reset the clock unknowingly by asking them to make some sort of small "good faith" payment in a very small amount.
If you do choose to make a payment after your defaulted debt has become time-barred, fine. You should pay off your debts because it's the right thing to do.
However, if you do choose to pay something towards time barred debt then I'd highly suggest you either pay it in full or settled it in full. That way the collector has no reason to pursue you legally for the remaining amount because there isn't one.

The Light For Our Age
Our Company
Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner
Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner was born in 1780 in Hof an der Saale, Germany (Bayreuth). His beginnings were simple. The son of a coachman, he was apprenticed to a pharmacist in his teens. He soon discovered however, that this was not his calling. Chemistry was the true love of his life. Reading widely and attending science lectures, he was largely self-educated. His talents were quickly recognized and in 1810, at the mere age of 29, he was appointed to a professorship in Jena.
Döbereiners discoveries in chemistry were extensive. For instance, he observed in 1823 that when platinum metal in a finely dispersed form, was exposed to hydrogen, much heat was generated. If more hydrogen were supplied, it would burst into a hot but nearly colorless flame. Within days Döbereiner turned this beautiful observation into what we today call Döbereiner's lamp, the world's first lighter.
Döbereiner's lamp became a common way to light fires in industrial settings in the first half of the 19th century. Within five years of its invention, 20,000 lamps were in use in Germany and England. In time the safety match, the cigarette lighter and the gas stove lighter put Döbereiner's lamp into the museum. Today however, we have reached the next step in the evolution of lighters.
Today, the name J. Wolfgang lives on as a brand of fine crafted lighters. Our lighters apply the mastery technique from Döbereiner's lamp to today's modern age. A lighter from J. Wolfgang, is a lighter that does not pollute the environment with butane or lighter fluids. A lighter from J. Wolfgang is a rechargeable electronic lighter, and will not add to the 1,5 billion plastic lighters that end up on landfills every year. A lighter from J. Wolfgang, is in other words, a lighter worthy of the future.
The lighter industry has remained largely unchanged for decades. Zippo, Bic and a handful of other companies have dominated the landscape since the 60's. Disposable lighters are an industry standard, and considering the cheap price of such lighters one might ask if there is truly a need for change?
We often face this attitude, and we usually ask people who question our motives: If the lighter was invented today, would it look the way it currently does? If you answer is yes, we ask you to consider this:
1 500 000 000 lighters end up on landfills every year. These lighters in turn contain almost 7000 tons of butane gas that that released into the atmosphere. In an age where sustainability is becoming more and more urgent for every day that goes by, every industry needs to change and adapt. That fact is what drives us at J Wolfgang to do what we are doing.

Ultimate Tic Tac Toe
You probably know the original Tic Tac Toe game. If not: it's a simple game where one player is the X and the other player is the O, playing on a field of 3x3 squares. The players take turns picking one of the squares that is not occupied. When one of the players gets three squares in a row, horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, that player wins.
Now Ultimate Tic Tac Toe is quite similar, except each square in the field is actually small game of Tic Tac Toe. Only if you win the small game, you get the square of the big game. The goal again is to get three (big) squares in a row. Further rules will be explained below. This game requires quite a bit of strategy because you can influence which of the big squares your opponent has to play in. We're very excited to see how good bots can get in this game, so start coding and show us what your bot can do! If you have any questions, suggestions or if you've found a bug, please post on the discussion page.

The GARDNERZ (Sweden) "System of Nature" DIGI CD & "It All Fades" CD EP reviews by www.heavyhardmetalmania.net
The GARDNERZ (Sweden) "System of Nature" DIGI CD
& "It All Fades" CD EP reviews
by www.heavyhardmetalmania.net
By Pedro Ribeiro
In the beautiful lands of Southern Sweden where the cold of winter is felt and the white covers the branches of naked trees a dark force remains in its shelter and waits silently like a predator watches its prey until the opportune moment to release its claws against the ignorance of man.
In the middle of 2008 Landskrona gave birth to the hungry beast called THE GARDNERZ, a dommy death metal band formed by Wihelm Lindh (the man behind the guitar). With the desire to spread his own metal as blood running in his veins he initiated the demand for artists that could integrate shrewdly into the dark energy he intended to liberate and so in the late 2008 Francisco Martín (bass wielder) joined the loud force and that was how the first steps of the band started to leave a trace, with the debut album taking shape. A longtime friend of Francisco, Juan Pablo fitted well in the formation and was recruited to do the drums (currently he is no longer part of the band) and after a long time of searching for a vocalist Niclas Ankarbranth shattered voice stepped in to the picture.
This musical monster is very versatile and blends various components of death metal with a slower and brutal doom but they don´t fully fit that category taking their music even further to a more diversified path that makes them unique. With a slow and nasty sound of heavy metal full of distortion and catchy clean notes that compose sorrowful and gloomy melodies, they mix technique with simplicity to create a vast soundscape and fresh touch. Lyrically they deal with philosophical ideas and the strange ways of Man in life specially the hypocrisy, greed and creeds of human being, the fallacies of religion, consumerism and how insignificant events shapes a Man´s entire life.
THE GARDNERZ dark energy was finally unleashed… the debut album "The System of Nature" was mastered by Dan Swanö at his Unisound Studio and was released on the 20th of September 2011 on digipack CD through Abyss Records and is also available as gatefold LP by Mechanix Records and downloads through Digmetalworld.
For a debut album "System of Nature" was very well worked and presents us a bone breaker sound with technical, catchy and heavy riffs that sometimes gives place to a cleaner string experience that fills the music with sad and dark melodies. The songs of this album fit in the death/doom category but in my opinion there is a progressive sound present because they mutate their style so many times during this 12 track work (two of them are covers of the bands VULCANO and WINTER) that is hard to say that they are pure death with a gloomy flourish. The guitar offers many techniques and styles with slow, medium pace and fast rhythms, brutal heavy distortions and clean phrases, fast short solos, complex and strong riffs and simpler lines. The bass is easily audible not remaining beneath the other instruments and follows the music with splendor also having its moments of focus with simple solo lines but I think it adds nothing special or particular to the music. Niclas vocals are profound; he uses a heavy growl and a devilish voice that exudes exceptionally the messages of the songs. The drums are very powerful and create that brutal background with a slow rhythm that sometimes turns into a complex frenzy of death metal.
In general the album "System of Nature" was well conceived with songs that are pretty good but with others that fall into oblivion. The most positive factor in this work was that they created their own sound that automatically separated them from comparisons and gave them a highlight in the metal scene. In a way they have shown that they were capable of doing more and one year later they ended up impressing…
After the release of the debut the response of the metal community was very positive and the followers of the band started to grow. This of course was an extra boost to keep the band in the right direction and the THE GARDNERZ started working on new material to unleash their tremendous metal.
In 2011 a new drummer, Vedran Bencic, was recruited, and just after a few months of rehearsing the new songs the band decided to record a mini album. . The recording started in early 2012 and yielded the "It All Fades" mini album containing six doom and death filed tracks. Drums were recorded at Armageddon Studio, Osijek, Croatia. Guitars and bass at Funky Cat Studio in Landskrona, Sweden. Vocals at Ninja Studios in Malmö, Sweden. Mixed and Mastered by Cristian Rodríguez Lunecke at 15Hz Studio Santiago, Chile.
The sound of the band hasn´t suffered many alterations with the mini album and somehow the idea of constructing a 36 minutes EP was clever because it brought a simple and small but amazing work with superb songs and in particular one of my favorite covers of Darkthrone´s "Transsilvanian Hunger" to which they gave a special and unique touch, turning this song into a folky, beautiful and melancholic ballad with the orgasmic voice of Paulina Strihavka. Definitely I cannot think of any better tribute to Norwegian black metal than this spectacular cover and THE GARDNERZ really nailed it.
They remained in the dommy death metal scene reminding sometimes of My Dying Bride but with their own sound and with compositions that evolved with a stronger character with catchier and heavier songs and a much savory progression with all the instruments in harmony. This time around the atmosphere was much more intense and being easier to capture the feelings that "It All Fades" transpires. At technical level they have shown that simplicity can also become complex with the use of simple doom phrases intercalated with clean melodies and a more technical death metal that not even once during the mini album gets boring. This was due primarily due to the maturation of the strings compositions that were outstanding with really dommy lines changing to catchy death metal lines especially in the song "Don´t look back".
The vocals are also a strong reference in this album, they didn´t stick with huge and intense growls, instead they use a vast spectrum of styles singing with roaring intensity, clean vocals, and a more thrash type of singing (loud and clear with harshness) and as I said before there is also a strong guest vocalist, the inspiring voice of Paulina that gives a beautiful texture to the cover.
"It All Fades" has shown that after all there was still plenty to hear and to headbang to…
THE GARDNERZ cultivated their sound with brilliance and I just really hope they continue to do works like this or even better. Hail to THE GARDNERZ!
