Have you ever wanted to start a global handbag and accessories business? Well, good choice as there are millions out there who spend their money on handbags and accessories online.
All these buyers want are websites that can offer them attractive pricing and have a more diverse range of brands and styles than a normal boutique.
While small handbag and accessories stores cannot display a whole range of styles, websites showcasing handbags for sale can literally have thousands of handbags in many different brands and colors for the buyer to pick and choose from.
The market for a global handbag and accessories business is very big indeed and you cannot go wrong starting one yourself. So what do you need to do in order to succeed?
The first thing you'll ever want to take note is to offer a very competitive pricing for your wares. You must compare prices with the typical boutique and sell at a better price.
How do you get your stocks? You can get them from wholesale handbag and accessories suppliers.
There are websites on the internet that have compiled a list of credible handbag suppliers so that saves you time searching high and low for them in the vast internet jungle. You can find almost everything online for free but sometimes in order to save precious time, you'd have to pay for some information where someone has done the tedious job for you.
Next is to start your operations by creating your very own handbag and accessories website. You should begin by giving good deals and offering a wide range of brands and styles. Another tip is by offering something which is out of stock in the stores. Your website will be an instant hit!
Track your sales and if a certain model or brand is making a lot of sales, ensure you top-up your stocks early from your wholesale suppliers.
Ensure that the content of your website is easy for your visitors to navigate. Categorize your handbags into different brands whenever possible.
Also you need to start attracting visitors to your websites by doing some search engine optimization. Have some content on your website like useful articles. You can also engage SEO companies to help you get on the front page of the search engines for your chosen keywords.

Annual Tierra Neighborhood Fourth of July Parade
The Tierra Neighborhood has enjoyed a 4th of July Parade almost every year since 2000. It is a great way to get out and meet your neighbors, get the kids to meet other kids from the neighborhood, and enjoy the parade.
The parade will meet near the Tennis Courts between 9:30 and 10:00 am on July 4th, 2019. The attendees then follow up a route through the park and around the neighborhood. After the parade neighbors are encouraged to stick around and enjoy cookies, a cold drink, and some family friendly time with the neighbors.
We will also be joined by Kona Ice this year in case you want a great icy treat.

From The New Pittsburgh Courier
Ladysmith Black Mambazo brings world music to city
By: Genea L. Webb
Beautiful songs of peace, love and harmony combined with traditional Zulu dancing will allow Pittsburgers to experience beautiful South Africa when Ladysmith Black Mambazo, the Grammy Award winning A Cappella group graces Pittsburgh's Byham Theater stage, January 29, as part of it's 2014 'Always With Us' U.S. Tour.
The group will be performing in the Steel City as part of the Cohen & Grigsby Trust Presents series, presented by the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust.
Ladysmith Black Mambazo was assembled in the early 1960'²s in South Africa by a young farm boy-turned factory worker, Joseph Shabalala. The group's unique name is a combination of Shabalala hometown, Black refers to oxen, the strongest of all farm animals in the Motherland and Mambazo is the Zulu word for axe, a symbol of the group's uncanny ability to 'chop down' any singing rival who might challenge them.
The group has recorded with numerous artists including Stevie Wonder, Emmylou Harris, Melissa Etheridge and Paul Simon who made the group a household-name and introduced the world to the group's infectious music on his 'Graceland' album.

Aryes Peña went back to her Mexican roots for her solo collection, the first following the completion of her studies from The Art Institute of Houston.
Traditional patterns, bright colors and indigenous textiles serve as inspiration for the charming lineup, which – in keeping with her bubbly personality – was focused on comfort.
Colors were everywhere, but hues of purple, teal and fuchsia dominated the collection. Precise cuts on dresses flattered the female figure and when embellishments, including sashes and fringe embroideries popped up, they never looked exaggerated.
Peña's creativity shined with several knit dresses in teal, black and purple that exhibited floral and skeletal designs. What was even more peculiar, but no less exciting was the cross over knit sweater and fuchsia poncho made from wool.
So whether you're going for a night on the town with friends; attending a wedding or going to work; there's something edgy, quirky and comfortable about Aryes Peña's collection that will leave you wanting to see more.

Wrekmeister Harmonies – The Alone Rush
After several releases of lengthy, heavy chamber metal pieces featuring a dazzling array of talent from all over the musical spectrum Wrekmeister Harmonies strip back to basics for their latest album The Alone Rush.

Playlist: 20 for '16
Usually there's a track-a-day write up on the 20 for… playlist but you'll forgive me if I wish to put 2016 behind me and pretend it never happened. It's a shame that so much good music will be indelibly marked with the events of 2016, both the political cataclysms and personal nadirs. But if you can stomach it there's plenty of gems to be found among the wreckage of the year we'd all rather forget. Stuff that's worth clinging to when trying to tell ourselves it's all going to be ok.
Album of the Year 2016
What's that sound I hear in the distance? Could it really be that the AOTY horn is sounding already? It must be: I can see critics emerging from their homes, lifting their hands to shield tired eyes from the light of the winter sun, thrusting forth stone tablets onto which they've etched their AOTY lists. It is a sacred duty they are compelled to fulfill – though they no longer quite know why they'll soon amass upon the hallowed ground before the Great Hall of Lists. Then they'll look at each other and solemnly intone, "did Kanye release a record this year? I dunno. That then. Maybe Radiohead."
There's only one definitive list though. This one. What makes it definitive? It's mine. The fact nobody seems to agree with any of my choices only makes it more definitive.
So click on, young wanderer, if you wish to know what really were the best albums released this year. But remember: the real Album of the Year may just be the friends we made along the way. Continue reading
Wanton Playlistery – 2016: Q3
I don't think I'm going out on too weak a limb to suggest there haven't been many bona fide classic records released in 2016. There'll probably be a few that will grown in stature and be considered classic in time, and possibly for all my flailing around trying to hear everything (reader: I have a problem) that I've missed entirely. But right here and now nothing obviously stands up as Timeless.
And yet it feels like it's been a great year for music already – the sheer breadth of wonderful sounds created boggles my tiny mind on a near daily basis. Much of it may be forgotten fairly quickly – but it was beautiful while it lasted. It's nice not to think of posterity all the time and let stuff drift through your life like a cool breeze and enjoy it while it's there. Right?
Indie Rock, they say, is pretty much a dead art – yet there go the likes of Dinosaur Jr, the Julie Ruin, Parquet Courts indie rockin' away like the 90s never ended. Which for a guitar junkie like myself is always welcome. In contrast the realm of ambient/drone/modern composition continues to go through a veritible golden age with the likes of Jefre Cantu-Ledesma, Jherek Bicshoff, Juliana Barwick et al weaving voice, electronics, organic instrumentation, field recordings and untamed static into wistful, melancholic, nostalgic slices of beautiful noise.
I keep thinking it's been a poor year for heavy music but there are a few reliable stalwarts keeping the flame lit. Wrekmeister Harmonies continue to surprise with the scope of their dark epics, Neurosis continue to defy time and the laws of diminishing returns, Russian Circles just about keep an old formula fresh, Big Business continue to expand their sonic palette despite contracting in numbers and Ulver continue to keep everyone guessing. Newcomers MAKE bring a much needed sense of righteous indignation to post-metal and Helen Money showcases the under-explored heavy potential of the cello.
Yeah. It's been a pretty good year. And it's still not done, with a few big names left on the release calender and still more as yet unknown suprises afoot. It might have been a pretty shit year in most other respects for us as a species but there's plenty of joy to be had hidden between a pair of headphones. We can always be thankful for that.
20 for '15 – The Playlist
Well, it's nearly the middle of February already – so it seems as good a time as any to wrap up this round up of the previous years best songs. They don't call me The Timely Content Kid for nothing. Also some might call having 25 songs on a top 20 list something of a cop out. To which I have no real argument.
It was a great year for music though and I think this list demonstrates just how good. Especially since it was a year in which I didn't find much time to delve into all that much hip hop – Busdriver and Milo narrowly missed the cut for the list but that was about it for my rap listening in 2015, bar a couple of L'Orange produced albums – and almost completely ignored what was by all accounts an excellent year for black metal. It was a year of Too Much Music and this, for better or worse, is how I spent it. And given how much fun I've had putting this list together I'm leaning towards, "for better."
20 for '15 – Wrekmeister Harmonies – Night of Your Ascension
Part 11 of a 20 part rundown of my favourite tracks of 2015
JR Robinson is a surprisingly popular man for one with such…unusual obsessions. He's been releasing singular, uncompromising music under the Wrekmeister Harmonies moniker since 2009 and in that time he's drafted in a veritable who's who in alternative and avant garde heavy music to flesh out his compositions. This record alone features members of The Body, Indian, Einstürzende Neubauten, Yakuza and Marrisa Nadler. For starters. All of whom presumably chose not to put down the phone after Robinson invited them to feature on a piece inspired by legendary composer/murderous bastard Don Carlo Gesualdo and/or the crimes and death of priest and serial child molester Father John Geoghan. He must have quite a way with words.
Robinson's continuing fascination with those responsible for heinous crimes (Then It All Came Down is a piece inspired by a Truman Copete essay on an associate of Charles Manson, Bobby Beausoleil) seems to be fertile ground for compositions that are at once achingly beautiful and unflinchingly harrowing. The two here as well as Then It All.. follow similar patterns – starting in some kind of fractured, corroded beauty and steadily sinking into doom/metal laced depravity, like Lucifer falling from grace. Night of Your Ascension begins with Nadler singing in choral fashion, some of the most gorgeous, yet unsettling, sounds Wrekmeister Harmonies have put to tape yet. From there everything gradually goes to hell, culminating in a contorted metal nightmare, all disembodied screams and unholy chants. It's magnificent – if Night.. had come out a little earlier in 2015 it would have been right up there in my year best of list. As it is I'm still digesting it.
The video at the top is an interesting piece (featuring a very dusty David Yow running a bout for reasons unclear) but the edit doesn't even come close to doing the full piece justice. I include the full thing below and implore everyone to listen to all 5 parts. I'm not choosing any one for this list – it's a piece that needs to be heard in its entirety.

Project Description
Strategy execution is where the real money is made. Stats show precisely how difficult proper performance is, and how to get better at it.
Saying you're in 'strategic planning' may sound cooler, but 'strategy execution' is where the distinction is made. Strategy execution is what separates the professionals from the amateurs.
The stats show there is, to put it lightly, 'quite some room for improvement' in the strategy execution field. In fact, a measly 2% of leaders are confident that they will achieve 80-100% of their strategy's objectives.
- 85% of leadership teams spend less than 1 hour per month discussing strategy
- 20% of organizations review strategy execution monthly
- 95% of employees do not understand their organization's strategy
- 80% of the workforce's primary motivators for putting extra energy into the change program are not tapped into by the leaders
No wonder so many organization leaders get frustrated with goals not being achieved.
What You Will Discover:
This program will show you the Strategic Leadership techniques, processes, and methods High Impact Managers use to lead those who report to them toward achieving goals for the areas for which they are responsible; no matter if their responsible area is a department, division or team.
Strategic Plans include a short list of goals for the organization, as well as strategies for achieving those goals. Strategic Leadership requires prioritizing the efforts and resources of your department or division to those factors that are critical to achieving your goals.
You will learn how to find a balance between strategically leading your organization and your hands-on involvement, which is often necessary. The best news is that you can put what you learn to work immediately and observe instant improvement.

BLOGMAS DAY 26- What To Do With Unwanted Presents
We all get it; it's Christmas time and someone gifts you a present that you really don't like and know that you'll never use. So, what do you do with it? I'm going to share with you all 5 things that you can do with those unwanted presents.
Sell it
If it's something you really don't gravitate towards yourself, and can see yourself never using it, but don't quite want to tell the person that gave it to you, then one way that you can still partially gain from this present giving is to sell your unwanted present. Someone out there is going to surely want it!
Re-gift it
Make sure you keep note of who gave you the present to begin, just so that you don't cause an embarrassing moment of re-gifting the present to the person who originally gave it to you. Although, it's sure to save you the money for buying a present for someone down the long road, and it's you know it's a present that they'd like, then why not gift it to them?
Return it
If you were given the receipt in the first place, or feel confident enough to ask the person for one, then this is always an easy option to get rid of your unwanted present, and instead purchase one that you would much prefer.
Give it to charity
There's sure to be someone who would love to receive your gift, by giving it away. This is the perfect way to give away your unwanted presents in a really christmassy way, without caring about the advantages for yourself, but instead just other people.
Hand into homeless shelters
Things such as food items, clothing, and blankets etc that are gifted to you during the festive season that you do not wish to keep yourself, are sure to be loved and gratefully received by those who are without a home. So this is a great idea to be more giving this festive season, and think about those who need these items.

World backcountry explorer
Expertise: Adventure, Society, Water travel, Environment
By Carys Mills
When people conjure up images of climate change in the North, they might only picture polar bears or melting ice and snow. Writer, geographer, paddler and world trekker James Raffan wanted to change that. "The North is very much a people place as well," he says. "The human face of the Arctic is not one we see a lot." To put that face on climate change, Raffan spent three years traversing more than 17,000 kilometres to write his 16th book, published in 2014, Circling the Midnight Sun: Culture and Change in the Invisible Arctic. As Raffan travelled and lived along the Arctic Circle — in Greenland, Iceland, Scandinavia, Russia, Alaska and Canada — he uncovered stories of changing societies and landscapes.

They found the deed?
Wednesday, May 09, 2012
Sometimes getting where I'm going in life takes a little longer than usual! We put a down-payment on a home down in December... the 21st to be exact. There was an expected close date of January 21st, but the deed could not be found. I'd heard those stories on the news and sort of snort giggled when I heard such nonsense! Well, snort no more! Five months later the missing deed has been located! Hallelujah!
What all has happened that would have made a major move difficult? Well to begin with, major health issues with my most precious and beloved mom. She fell 3 days after Christmas and majorly broke her right ankle. Daily trips to the hospital and then nursing rehab ended February 25 with a major stroke and her death 3 days later. I sat with her for all those days and when the morphine no longer worked I sang a praise and worship song to her, over and over again for hours. For those of you who know it... Step by Step ("I will follow You all of the way") was my reworded version. She actually would raise her arms upward in praise and try to sing along. Treasured memory.
Next came a 2 month battle with the sinus infection from (well you know) and then an infected tooth just followed last week by a root canal then a new crown today on another tooth. I'm working to get all this health stuff out of the way for the big move.
Anyway. I'm no longer snorting at the news... and I realize now that the snorting sound I was making was just due to the sinus infection and swollen sore tooth. LOL.
God's timing has always astounded me. He is looking out for me long before I even know I need looking out for. Smile. ...and for that I am ever so thankful!

So sorry to hear about your mother. It sounds like you were a blessing to her during her struggle. I'm glad you have good memories with her and that you were there for her when she needed you the most.
What a blessing also to not have to move during all your trials...God had His hand in it all and watched over you while you were going through.
Happy to know that you are "snorting no more" and that the deed is found and you can now move into another phase of life. Praying for joy and God's blessing to be upon you as you move into your new home.

So glad to hear from you! Have wondered how you are. I am very sorry to hear about your mother and know she is now at peace. It is very hard to watch our parents go through things we have no control over. Although God was watching over you, suspect his angels had a hand in it too. Guess you are downsizing? Moving close to where you were?
Please know I have thought about you and hope things go as planned now that the DEED has been found.

Indeed, all in God's time......
My folks were quickly deteriorating last year. Mom fell in July, breaking her hip in 2 places and after surgery was placed in a nursing home. Dad fell in August and was soon sharing a room with mom. And how quickly life changed - Nov 5th mom died and dad followed her just 18 days later.
As we age, changes happen sometimes too quickly. I've know for a couple years that I will NEED to move. But never knew how I was going to accomplish it without selling what I had.
Then we started going through my folks estate and with the many insurance policies that my dad had ~ my prayer was answered! Now to find one that will fit my needs.

Wow, what a relief the deed was found. It does seem strange it took so long to find it!
Your mother's health and then dying plus your own health issues certainly didn't make the time pass any more quickly!
Praise God for His timing and love!

Through stories and class discussion, the third grade class at West Elementary arrived at the idea that they would like to reach out and help our community as a third grade community service project. They listed many ways they could help others locally and then voted on a final project. They voted to serve our community by helping out at the Christ Kitchen at the United Methodist Church, 648 Oak St., Newcomerstown. So we contacted Chasity Opphile and she assured us that all student volunteers would be welcomed and appreciated.
Monday, March 12 was our project day. Eight students were able to attend the service project out of a class of 18. Students helped serve meals while entertaining the other volunteers. They went around to the tables and took drink orders and even helped carry bowls of soup when someone needed a hand. Students realized that a lot of work went into the clean up process. They helped clear dishes from tables, wiped off tables and took tubs of dishes to the dishwashers. Being a teacher, I have moments when I have to remind students to stay on task, but this was not one of those moments. I was amazed at the enthusiasm students had for serving others, not even once did I need to remind them to focus on others. That was their mission; to serve others and I believe they did an incredible job of it! The many volunteers welcomed our students and were appreciative of their contributions. In addition, the patrons of the Christ Kitchen were very impressed with the students' service. I had one student, Jordan Sanders, who was baffled at the patrons' responses, "Mrs. Hlad, everyone keeps telling me, 'Thank you!'" I asked him how that made him feel and he replied "Really good!" Students walked around with big smiles while they busied themselves with helpful tasks. Students did get to enjoy the food as well; they figured out their own rotation so that everyone would get to eat and also that there would always be someone serving. The huge slices of chocolate cake were too tempting to resist!
Students helped for over two hours, serving, clearing and cleaning. Some students decided that they would like to help every Monday they liked it so well! I am so proud that we have this great service offered right here in our community and even more so proud that we have students that are so enthusiastic not only about thinking of others, but also serving others so cheerfully! Thank you goes out to Ashley Russell, Kobe Lower, Keona Abel, Donnie Sorbara, Samantha Gardner, Corie Downer, Kylah Penrod, Jordan Sanders, Chasity, and all the volunteers at Christ Kitchen and my mother, Judi Houston, for all your help in making their class project a success. If you have not been to the Christ Kitchen, they have wonderful food and delicious desserts.
The Christ Kitchen is open on Mondays from 4 to 6:15 p.m. The meal is free but donations are accepted.
For information, contact United Methodist Church at 498-8134 and ask for Chasity Opphile.

Day 1: Iconic Singapore
Start your day with a train ride toward Bayfront MRT station (US$0.60-2.20). If you arrive early enough, the sea breeze will be cool and the sunlight gentle enough to enjoy a morning stroll through the 101ha Gardens by the Bay. Follow the scenic walkways to the eye-popping Supertree Grove, where a US$6 entrance fee to the OCBC Skyway — a walkway raised 22m off the ground — brings you up close with the garden's towering vertical plant ecosystems.
After you've had your fill of smelling the flowers, make your way back to Bayfront MRT and take a 10-minute ride on the Downtown Line to Bencoolen station (US$0.65). By this time, it will be just around noon. Head over to Pu3 Restaurant at 51 Bencoolen Street for a massive US$7 lunch of nasi ambeng — that's a mini buffet of rice topped with traditional Malay curried meats, veggies and spicy sambal sauce. Afterward, walk off the calories by heading to the National Museum (93 Stamford Road; entrance fee of US$11) to browse artifacts, dioramas and other memorabilia from Singapore's history. Housed inside a 19th-century British colonial building, the museum also features a souvenir shop with quirky Singapore-themed items.
Stay within the cool vicinity of the museum until the midday heat wanes. Then, walk over to Dhoby Ghaut MRT station for a one-stop train ride to Clarke Quay (US$0.65). Not far from here is a water taxi pier, where you can ride down the Singapore River on an old-school bumboat for US$3.70. The route boasts some impressive views of the financial district's skyscrapers, and even passes by the famous Merlion statue before reaching the Esplanade — Theatres on the Bay. Catch a free performance at the Esplanade's concourse or outdoor theater (check the schedule on esplanade.com) before grabbing dinner at one of the many restaurants in the complex. We recommend Old School Delights for a classic and very affordable Singaporean meal of about US$8.
Day 2: Heritage 'hoods
Skip the hotel breakfast and head to Chinatown to see the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple. Get there by 9am to see the monks perform their daily prayer and chanting rituals. Also tour the rest of the massive four-storey shrine — don't miss the pagoda on the rooftop, which is a serene meditation space. Head back down for a long, leisurely brunch at Yum Cha at 20 Trengganu Street for its dim sum — get filled up for about US$12. Next, spend an hour or two checking out the nearby streets of this traditional Chinese enclave, before heading to Chinatown MRT to get on a train bound for Little India (US$1.20).
While it's not quite a miniature of India, there are plenty of overlaps with its sights, sounds and smells. Follow Serangoon Road northward and take in the spice markets, the open-air bazaars, jewelry shops and Hindu pooja (ceremonial worship) supply stores. If you're feeling peckish at this point, then sit down for an US$5.80 snack at Azmi (166 Serangoon Road) or Usman's (238 Serangoon Road) — both streetside eateries offer delectable South Asian flatbreads and curries. And while you happily digest that tasty tiffin, hail a taxi to take you to yet another heritage neighborhood (US$5). Kampong Glam was the Arab quarters of old Singapore; today it retains Arab and Southeast Asian Muslim flairs with traditional stores and Turkish, Lebanese and Malay restaurants clustered around the imposing Sultan Mosque, while also offering some hipster touches in the form of gyms, cafés, vintage boutiques and bike shops. Shop around for a Persian rug, Turkish lamp or Indonesian batik fabric. Soak up the mosque's call for sunset prayers, walk over to dinner at FOMO (38 Sultan Gate), a newly opened food court known for its hipster stalls selling wallet-friendly (about US$15 a meal) Asian-Western fusion fare.
Day 3: The scenic route
Put on comfortable walking shoes and get yourself a taxi to Gillman Barracks (about US$10 from areas around the city center), a former military barracks that is now a cluster of art spaces, restaurants and a gallery shop. Check out the masterpieces at the private displays and the public installations from up-and-coming artists from around the world. Then, indulge in a heavyweight lunch at Handlebar (10 Lock Road), an open-air biker bar that serves up excellent steaks, ribs and burgers. A burger and a pint of draft beer will set you back about US$20.
Burn off that massive lunch by strolling the 1.5km to the next destination, Telok Blangah Hill Park. The way is scenic and encrusted with trees, so you don't have to worry too much about the hot and humid weather that Singapore is known for. If you want to save energy for what's coming next, spend US$5 on a taxi from Gillman Barracks to the Telok Blangah Hill carpark instead. From Telok Blangah Hill, it's a stone's throw to the picture-perfect, treetop walkway called the Henderson Waves. Saunter down the entire length of this wood-paneled pedestrian bridge. Suspended 36m above the ground, it features novel architecture that depicts the movement of waves, hence the name. Continue on foot through clearly marked forest pathways toward Mount Faber Park. At 105m above sea level, this is one of Singapore's highest natural points and from the viewing deck you can see the country's southernmost reaches. It should be well into the afternoon when you get here, but stick around to watch the sun set over the city. Top off your Singapore holiday by using the footpath to walk over to the cable car station at Mount Faber Peak — just 100m away — to enjoy a quick, scenic ride to HarbourFront MRT station below (US$12).
. . .
Getting around
Singapore's bus and train systems are highly efficient and should get you easily to most destinations on the island. They're also hooked up to Google Maps, which can help plan your route and tell you exactly which buses and trains to take. For location-based information on arrival times and traffic reports, download the government's MyTransport mobile app.

Hidden gems are everywhere in the town, scattered across the town, atop museums and clocktowers, greengrocers and high streets.

Bíblia NSB
Deuteronômio 10
1 »Jehovah said to me: Cut out for yourself two tablets of stone like the former ones. Come up to me on the mountain, and build an ark of wood for yourself.
2 »I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets that you shattered. You must place them in the Ark.
3 »I made an Ark out of acacia wood and cut out two tablets of stone like the first ones. Then I took the two tablets in my hands and went up on the mountain.
4 »He wrote on the tablets, like the former writing. It was the Ten Commandments Ten Words that Jehovah proclaimed to you on the mountain. It was from the middle of the fire on the day of the assembly. Jehovah gave them to me.
5 »Then I came down from the mountain and put the tablets in the Ark I had made. They are there just as Jehovah commanded me.
6 The sons of Israel set out from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died. He was buried there. Eleazar his son ministered as priest in his place.
7 From there they set out to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land with streams of water.
8 Jehovah then set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the Ark of the covenant of Jehovah. They were to stand before Jehovah to serve and pronounce blessings in his name until this day.
9 Levi does not have a portion or inheritance with his brothers. Jehovah is his inheritance; just as Jehovah your God spoke to him.
10 »I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights like the first time. Jehovah listened to me this time also. Jehovah was not willing to destroy you.
11 »Jehovah said to me: Arise and proceed on your journey ahead of the people. That way they may go in and possess the land that I swore to their fathers to give them.
12 »Now, O Israel, what does Jehovah your God require from you? You are to respect Jehovah your God. Walk in all his ways and love him! Serve Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your being.
13 »Obey Jehovahs commandments and his statutes I am commanding you today for your good!
14 »Behold, heaven and the highest heavens belong to Jehovah your God, even the earth and all that is in it.
15 »Yet Jehovah set his affection on your fathers. He loved them. He chose you their descendants above all peoples, as it is this day.
16 »Circumcise your heart, and do not stiffen your neck. Circumcise: Cut short the foreskin.Remove hardness of the heart.
17 »Jehovah your God is the God of gods and the Lord of lords! He is the great, the powerful, and the awesome God who does not show partiality nor take a bribe.
18 »He executes justice for the orphan and the widow. He shows His love for the alien by giving him food and clothing.
19 »Love those who are aliens. For you were also aliens in the land of Egypt.
20 »Respect Jehovah your God and serve him. Hold fast to him and take your oaths in his name.
21 »He is your praise! He is your God! He performed for you those great and awesome things you saw with your own eyes.
22 »Your fathers traveled to Egypt, seventy persons in all. Now Jehovah your God has made you as numerous as the stars of the universe physical heavens.

Stud graduate claims more black type
18 Jul 2015
Jetset Lad defied his 58.5kg impost at Doomben this afternoon to successfully defend his Listed Tattersall's Mile title.
Trainer Brian Smith will now set last month's Gr 2 Brisbane Cup winner for a spring trip to Sydney.
"The Newcastle Cup is the race I have had in mind for him all along," Smith said.
"We both have a bit of age on us, but he is all quality and like quality horses he is hard to beat in anything."
A Goodwood Stud graduate, Jetset Lad was originally prepared by John Wheeler from his New Plymouth base.
They made three successful campaigns to Queensland before the gelding was left with Smith at Eagle Farm last year.
A son of Elusive City and the winning Jetball mare Jetset Lass, the seven-year-old has now banked more than $A600,000.
Jockey Paul Hammersley, who returned to Queensland three months ago after a stint in New South Wales, has developed a great association with Jetset Lad.
"I won the Brisbane Cup on him as well and he is fast becoming my favourite horse," Hammersley said. "He tries so hard and he never gives up."

Why am I writing about domestic violence today? I was again reminded by a caring and compassionate young friend of mine, just how prevalent this issue is.
For many of you who have never taken our crisis and disaster response trainings, it is one of the topics we touch upon – education and awareness of how many sitting in your pews may be the victims of domestic or sexual abuse. Abuse that the church often condones under the guise of submission, marital rights, or covenant.
- An estimated 1.3 million women are victims of physical assault by an intimate partner each year.
- 85% of domestic violence victims are women.
- Females who are 20-24 years of age are at the greatest risk of nonfatal intimate partner violence.
- Most cases of domestic violence are never reported to the police.
- Witnessing violence between one's parents or caretakers is the strongest risk factor of transmitting violent behavior from one generation to the next.
- Boys who witness domestic violence are twice as likely to abuse their own partners and children when they become adults.
- 30% to 60% of perpetrators of intimate partner violence also abuse children in the household.

Commentary by Bill Buchanan
This is my last column for the Ojai Valley News as publisher. Writing a final column is similar to standing in line at a wake. It is a very emotional time. You want to express exactly the right thought, yet almost anything you say seems forced and trite. The one notable exception to this is something I witnessed at a wake many years ago. An elderly gentlemen in the receiving line ahead of me uttered the most extraordinary thing I have ever heard at any group gathered to honor the dead. This wake was particularly tragic and poignant.

Howard Herman | Designated Hitter: Everyone has an Ed Ladley story - and not just in basketball
Everybody had an Ed Ladley story.
If you were ever involved with the former Wahconah boys basketball coach, you had at least one — or maybe several — good anecdotes about Ed.
Ladley, who passed away last week at the age of 78, was a Berkshire County coaching legend. He was in two basketball Halls of Fame — the Massachusetts Basketball Coaches Association and the New England Basketball Halls of Fame. He led Wahconah to a state title and six Western Massachusetts crowns. But it's the stories that really tell the story.
There are a lot of those stories that come from the Wahconah state championship win in 1987. It was a game where the Warriors rallied late in the fourth quarter from a 20-point deficit to beat Boston Tech at the Worcester Centrum.
My Ed Ladley story stems from that game. I was still doing basketball games on the radio for WBRK, splitting the state championship schedule with Bob Shade. He did the Wahconah game, and I was to broadcast the Pittsfield girls state championship game which followed.
My broadcast partner was Lee Farbman, who is now an attorney in Chicago. We were busy preparing for the PHS game, talking to the coaches about last-minute strategy and I was studying the numbers to call the play-by-play.
By the time we were ready to settle into our seats, Wahconah's comeback for the ages was nearly complete.
Admittedly, I never really saw much of that game. We had Ed on during our halftime report, and my first question was "How did you do that?" And he told us.
Former Hoosac Valley boys basketball coach Bill Robinson, a longtime on-court adversary, remembers that game vividly.
"I remember sitting in my living room, listening to the radio when they're playing Boston Tech [back] when I was a kid," Robinson told me, "and how they came back and won that state championship. They had no three pointers, you're down 20 points and you start fouling guys. They start missing foul shots ... and holy cow."
Pat Duquette remembers as well, because he was there. Duquette was a key member of that team. He went on to play at Williams College and is now the coach at Division I UMass Lowell.
"It's such a nice memory, and not just for me, but for everybody who experienced it," Duquette said. "One thing I've grown to learn as you get older as an athlete and you get together with your friends, you never stop talking about your high school sports and memories — and how many of those memories involve Ed. Especially that game in 1987.
"I've been coaching and playing basketball for a long time, and that's probably the most special moment I've had."
Duquette told me that he remembered when the game went "from OK, let's play just for some respect, because it had gotten so out of hand. With four minutes left, it was a 20-something point lead," he said. "Within a minute and a half, we got together at the free throw line and said 'There's a shot we can do this.'"
The Warriors did it, won the state title. Duquette said that sometimes, his River Hawks players don't believe him.
"I've threatened to make them watch the game. They laugh. They want to see it. My sister burned it onto a DVD for me a couple of years ago. I haven't tortured them yet, but I've had a couple of them ask me to watch it," he told me, when we spoke while he was on a recruiting trip in Kansas. "They don't believe it when I tell them we were down 19 points with 3 1/2 minutes to play and no three pointers. Some day, maybe when we're on a road trip to Maine, I'll pop it in the [video player]."
Ed Ladley might have been known as a basketball coach. In his heyday, he was an official in three sports. A big soccer game would find him on the field. He'd have the whistle on for a big girls' hoop game — as long as his daughters weren't playing. And in baseball, he was as good as it got.
I remember current Oakland A's coach Darren Bush, who managed the Berkshire Black Bears of the Northeast League, once telling me that Ladley had the best strike zone of every umpire that came to Wahconah Park. The league used to hire one local umpire to make up three-man crews.
Baseball was big in his life.
"As we started to compile a list of professional baseball players from Berkshire County, I was 'reminded' that I missed Ed Ladley. Impossible," Larry Moore wrote to me in an email. Moore, who is the director of the Baseball in the Berkshires Museum was a former colleague of Ladley's in the Central Berkshire Regional School District.
Ladley played for the Brooklyn Dodgers rookie team, and in fact, his Dodgers jacket was donated to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y.
"I was soon to learn about a new chapter in the Ladley chronicles. Ed always seemed to have the last story," Moore wrote. "Something that just left us shaking our heads or left us thinking for the rest of the day."
Bill Robinson had one more baseball story.
"I remember going in 1982, we played Greenfield in the Western Mass. baseball [championship game] at Wahconah Park," Robinson said with a laugh "Lo and behold, Ed Ladley's got the game behind the plate. I was like 'You've got to be kidding me.'
"I couldn't get away from this guy."
God speed, Ed Ladley.

Iga, Japan, a small city that claims to be the birthplace of the ninja, is facing a very unusual challenge. The city, which is a little less than 300 miles from Tokyo, wants to bring in more visitors. But they're lacking their central attraction: ninjas, or technically, ninja-performers. While many would assume that Japan would be the last place to face this problem, there's a fairly reasonable explanation...
Taste of Cinema
This issue comes from where it's located, within The Mie Prefecture, and the shifting population, but Iga has an advantage. Their annual ninja festival typically brings in around 30,000 tourists, which is almost a third of the population. But recently the number of residents is going down, by up to 1,000 just last year. The city's struggling economy would benefit greatly from more visitors, and they have a plan.
Nexus Newsfeed
With Japan as a whole seeing a 20% increasing in tourists, peaking at around 29 million visitors in 2017, Iga wants to take advantage of the influx. The ninja festival is the city's biggest event, so they want to expand and offer similar attractions to keep tourists there for longer periods of time. They hope that by having more options around this theme, people will want to stay for more than a day.
Vice - Fightland
They're going to build another ninja museum and try to hire more ninjas. This shouldn't be too hard, considering the annual ninja salary is anywhere from $23,000 to $85,000. The International Ninja Research Center states that ninjas in Iga earned an inflation-adjusted $8,000 to $17,000 a year. Unfortunately, it's still an uphill battle, with many young people leaving the rural countryside, which boasts a 2.5% unemployment rate. Hopefully these changes work.

Remember the firm XDubai which launched the XLine zipline over the Dubai Fountain back in 2015? Well, they're back! This time around, a zipline is set to swoop across the vast Dubai Marina, with an ultimate landing on the rooftop of the Marina Mall, giving the "City of Superlatives" its newest attraction![Total: 9 Average: 3.7]
Zip Line in Dubai Marina!This time, XDubai have also unveiled a tandem XLine, making it possible for two zipliners to simultaneously swoosh across the shimmering waters of the Dubai Marina. What's more, this new zipline allows daredevils to tear across the sky lying down (unleash your inner Superman), instead of sitting upright.
Spanning almost a kilometre over the Marina, the XLine is all set to have your adrenaline soaring, by taking zipliners to a maddening speed of 60 kilometres per hour, within 2.5 seconds of launching! With the branding being unveiled only on November 11, the timings and prices are yet to be announced. In the pipeline: Yet another sprawling zipline, over 2,500 metres long, is set to open in Ras Al Khaimah, before the end of 2017! Interestingly, this zip line is projected to be the world's highest zip line, at almost 2,000 metres above sea level! Also, it is expected to have a capacity to accommodate up to 1,20,000 people every year, and will have two parallel wires.

How will "whistle-blowing" be handled?
Different organisations require different approaches – simple instructions on procedures or detailed explanations of the drivers and benefits that result from the risk processes.
Our trainers can deliver the training or can train local or internal trainers. We are experienced in training overseas and across different nationalities.

Among the most unwelcome effects of aging is cognitive decline. There are few things scarier than dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Dementia starts in old age or later middle age and is characterized by gradual memory loss, confusion, personality and mood changes, and impaired thinking and even physical function.
Of people who develop dementia, 60 to 65% of them have Alzheimer's disease, affecting about 26 million people all over the world. The disease is characterized by the death of brain cells, neurofibrillary tangles, and the buildup of a plaque called beta amyloid in a patient's brain. Because of how it destroys the memory, the disease creates a heavy emotional and practical burden for the patients who suffer from it, and for their loved ones who must provide care. It is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States today. Its causes are not understood very well, and 90% of cases are sporadic and not linked to a family history. Age is the greatest risk factor for Alzheimer's.
Once Alzheimer's begins to kill off brain cells, the process cannot be stopped or reversed by any therapies yet known. Primary prevention – doing everything possible to keep the disease from developing in the first place – is the most important step a person can take to avoid suffering from this tragic disease.
Fortunately there is a pleasurable way to carry out that primary prevention.
Studies have shown that one effective method of prevention can be found in a moderate coffee habit of 3–5 cups per day.
There is evidence to suggest that caffeine as well as other elements in coffee (such as polyphenols/CGAs) may play a part in improving cognitive function.
"We are not saying that moderate coffee consumption will completely protect people from Alzheimer's disease. However, we firmly believe that moderate coffee consumption can appreciably reduce your risk of Alzheimer's or delay its onset."
— Chuanhai Cao, a neuroscientist at the USF
On one hand, a study published by the Journals of Gerontology in 2016 says that caffeine is one of the major keys to preventing Alzheimer's Disease. In the study, middle-aged women who reported having about five to six 8-oz. cups of coffee or black tea every day were 36% less likely to develop Alzheimer's. Since the results were the same for both those drinking tea and coffee, the study correlated the results to the effects of caffeine. Proponents of coffee for the prevention of Alzheimer's disease have pointed specifically to caffeine's effects on the central nervous system and its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.
A 2013 laboratory experiment by Jang et al. showed that the beneficial effects of coffee were a result of more than just caffeine, however. In this study, rats that had been given scopolamine (a drug that causes cognitive impairment) were then given instant decaffeinated coffee. They were then judged against a control group on their ability to complete a water maze. The results of the test showed that the group that was given decaffeinated coffee had better cognitive function than the one that wasn't. But as many other coffee and health related studies have demonstrated, coffee's health benefits are about more than just caffeine. An earlier laboratory study had also tied both caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid – the CGAs found in coffee – to neuroprotective qualities. Researchers did note that caffeic acid's protective properties were the stronger of the two, but that chlorogenic acid made a difference as well.
The unfortunate news is that antioxidant therapies for Alzheimer's disease alone have not been shown to be effective in stopping the progression of the disease once it has started. Though scopolamine is a good tool for simulating cognitive difficulties, there are differences in rodent and human brains that have not yet been bridged in experiments. Rats do not develop the same beta amyloid deposits that are characteristic of Alzheimer's disease.
The good news is that a lifelong coffee habit can improve your chances of never developing Alzheimer's in the first place. Eskelinen concluded in a 2010 analysis of multiple epidemiological studies that a 3 to 5 cup of coffee per day habit at mid-life predicted a 65% lower risk of Alzheimer's and dementia in late life. That means starting to drink more coffee today markedly helps your chances of living into your golden years Alzheimer's free.
As a bonus, short-term benefits of coffee include better memory, mood, vigilance, and overall cognitive function, particularly if you are enjoying a coffee like Purity, which is high in antioxidants and free of pesticides, mold, and mycotoxins.
The key is to fight Alzheimer's before it starts – and to also enjoy coffee's cognitive benefits along the way.

Tribofilms generated from bulk polyphosphate glasses at elevated temperatures
Publication Details
Kong, N., Tieu, A. Kiet., Zhu, Q., Zhu, H., Wan, S. & Kong, C. (2015). Tribofilms generated from bulk polyphosphate glasses at elevated temperatures. Wear, 330-331 230-238.
In this study polyphosphate lubricant was introduced into steel rolling process. The friction coefficient reduced from 0.463 to 0.238 by the presence of polyphosphate lubricant as compared with unlubricated condition, calculated from 2-high Hille 100 rolling mill tests. A tribofilm of similar to 100 nm can be observed on the strip surface, greatly improving the surface finish. This tribofilm well adhered on the oxide layer/steel base by the interfacial reactions. Laser-scanning confocal microscope well confirmed the reactions of polyphosphate lubricant with the oxide scales occurring. Furthermore, a feasible mechanism the composition and structure of this lubricant during thermal reaction was proposed when exposed to different temperatures. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.

.... I personally attended an annual gathering Ali arranged for Muslim chaplains (at tax payers expense) a few years ago and at this event literature by Islamist extremists such as Mawdudi was distributed to chaplains.
Ali also made it clear that he favoured hard-line interpretations of Islam and expected all chaplains to do the same. No wonder extremism is flourishing in British prisons and Islamist prisoners are forcing non-Muslims to pay infidel (Jizya) tax as was reported in the press recently.
It's about time that government departments stopped relying on Islamist advisors, who represent extremist political agendas which oppose our values, and started taking their responsibilities to tackle extremism seriously.
We hope NOMS and the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) will now take the appropriate action to address the concerns raised in this article. In the meantime, to ensure this happens, we will be escalating our concerns further. Watch this space! [Harry's Place] Read more

The Effects Of Cognates On Receptive And Expressive Language Among Typically Developing Preschool Second Language-Learners

Connie Summers
This exploratory study considers the facilitating effects of cognates across language of intervention, seeking to assess potential cross-language generalizations among typically developing preschool bilinguals. Nine bilingual, English-Spanish speakers of preschool age were assigned to one of three experimental groups (an English only group, a Spanish only group, and a bilingual group) or to a control condition. Children in the experimental groups were introduced to a vocabulary intervention that incorporated cognates and non-cognates. Analysis of data suggests the absence of a cognate advantage among preschool age children; furthermore limiting any possible cross-language generalizations. It is plausible to suspect that age may be a contributing factor to cognate facilitating effects. Other aspects related to cognition, existent metalinguistic skills, present development of phonological skills, and even degree of literacy instruction could also impact the effectiveness of these types of interventions. There is a need to assess potential relationships among contributing factors impacting vocabulary development within groups of young bilingual speakers. It is also indispensable to develop effective methods of intervention in supporting the lexical growth of young second language learners.

Who arrived in Boston in 1614?
Captain John Smith arrived in Boston in 1614, although at the time it was not known as Boston. John Smith mapped out the area shortly after his arrival in the city.
By: Heather Cahill
6 Min Quiz
Boston is the home of the Red Sox, the legendary Faneuil Hall, and the Boston Common. It grew from a tiny settlement into the thriving and beautiful city that we know and love today, but it didn't come without conflict, war and fighting for what they believed in. What do you know about the historic city that played a huge part in shaping the United States?
Do you know a pilgrim from a purist? Can you name the first official settler to permanently live in the area? What do you know about Paul Revere and his role in Colonial Boston? Make sure you know some important figures in Boston's history and the things that they did!
Do you know the acts and laws that England placed on the colony? Do you know the riots and protests that took place around the city? Do you know who inhabited Colonial Boston before the colonists arrived? The events and laws that took place throughout history changed the city drastically, leading to the Boston – and United States – that we know today.
If you're a Bostonian or a history buff, it's important to know what shaped the city. So, think you know your stuff about Colonial Boston? Take the quiz to find out!
Captain John Smith arrived in Boston in 1614, although at the time it was not known as Boston. John Smith mapped out the area shortly after his arrival in the city.
Captain John Smith named the area "New England." On the map he created shortly after arriving, he called himself the "Admiral of New England."
The Stamp Act riot took place outside of Andrew Oliver's house. This is because the blame was put on him for the new laws with which the colonists were not impressed.
Anne Hutchinson was banned from the colony because of her violation of Puritan beliefs. She was later murdered, after moving away from the land that banned her.
This is true. The entire area was under the rule of the monarch of England. The colonists were taxed by the country and they were expected to follow the laws placed by England.
The first church was built in 1630 by the Puritans. The church still exists today although it isn't found in the original place where it was built. Most of the first pastors at the church were named John?
The purists were formalists who wanted to reform the Church of England in America. They disagreed with the pilgrims' views of the Church and it caused some conflict.
The Puritans called their new land "Tremontaine." It was named after the three hills along the landscape of the Shawmut Peninsula, now called Trimountain, Copps Hill and Fort Hill.
The Winnisimmet Ferry was established by the Puritans in 1631. It was a public service that took its passengers from Boston to Charlestown, but it no longer exists.
This is true. The department began with a night watch in the 1600s, which eventually turned into the police force that exists today. It was the first time that any type of law enforcement was present in the United States.
The first school in Boston was called the Boston Latin School and was established in 1635. It began as a school for boys and is still in existence, although it moved from its original location.
In 1659, Christmas was banned by the Puritans, who fined anyone who celebrated it. This ban was also put in place by England and went on until the 1700s.
The reign of King James II irritated the colonists in New England. He tried to be heavily involved in governing and controlling the citizens of New England who then retaliated by using the argument that the land rightfully belonged to the Native Americans.
Native Americans were the first to inhabit the area. They lived in the area for thousands of years before English colonists made their way over to settle on the land.
This is true. It is known as the Siege of Boston where the troops trapped the British Army in the city for a period of time. The British were able to escape in 1776.
Sir Edmund Andros, who was sent over by King James II, revoked land from the colonists. In order for them to get the land back, they needed to pay a fee.
Pilgrims were separatists who wanted to separate from the Church of England. They were religious people, but left England to avoid persecution by the church and therefore did not want it to be reformed in America.
The name of the area at the time was Massachusetts Bay Colony, named after the Massachusetts Bay Company. The name stuck until around the 1690s.
The first American newspaper was established in Boston in 1690. The publication was named "Publick Occurrences Both Foreign and Domestic" and it was short-lived.
This is false. The city was named after the British city of Boston in 1630. The English city is where many of the colonists that came to America were from.
The Molasses Act was placed on New England in 1733, which placed taxes on imports. It was a large instigator for the events of the future and the colonist's attitude towards Britain.
A devastating fire, known as the Great Boston Fire, swept through the city in 1760. There had been fires prior to this, but none were as damaging as this one, which left thousands homeless.
Reverend William Blaxton was the first religious person to settle in New England permanently. He was given 50 acres of land on which to build but later sold it.
The Writs of Assistance allowed Britain to search the homes of the colonists as they pleased. It was put in place to catch anyone who was hiding anything they shouldn't have under acts like the Molasses Act.
This is false. The city is actually referred to as the "Birthplace of the American Revolution." Boston has a rich history when it comes to the American Revolution since it's citizens were so dissatisfied with Britain.
Smallpox was a large epidemic that wiped out much of the population in New England. It was brought over by the colonists who came from England in 1616.
The King Phillip's War was fought by both the Native Americans and the citizens of New England in 1675. The Native American people wanted to rid the area of its new inhabitants and started the war that took out many of the tribes.
The Boston Massacre took place in 1770. It began after British troops killed three people, and were acquitted of their crimes. It angered the colonists who already felt betrayed by the country.
The Intolerable Act was created as punishment for the Boston Tea Party. It was a series of four acts that affected everything from the ports to housing in New England.
This is true. The phrase was given to the area because the colonists were seeking refugee from the Church of England. They thought by forming their new colony they would escape the Church.
The American Revolution began in 1775 and went on for a few years before the British were defeated. America hence gained its independence, freeing Boston and many other colonies from British reign.
Reverend Jonathan Mayhew coined this term. It was used in retaliation of the British and the taxes they placed on the colonists.
Fish was an important export for the colony. The city was located right along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, making fish an easily accessible commodity.
The Boston Tea Party was a protest to taxes placed on imports by the British. Throwing the tea from British ships into the harbor was the only legal way that colonists could retaliate.
Paul Revere warned the forces in Lexington of a British invasion that was soon to happen. Aside from his military service, he was also a successful businessman.

Want to know the problem with Cannabis?
We've found a great Youtube video by Everest Fernandez outlining the 5 main issues growers face while growing cannabis plants. This helpful video runs through some of the most important conditions necessary for you to grow your own Cannabis plants as well as discussing the most common difficulties people face.
Problem 1:
Modern Cannabis varieties are often the product of a complex hybridization process. Seeds from the same packet can often produce very different plants and are un predictable.
Problem 2:
Cannabis is typically dioecious. This means it produces some plants with just male flowers (pollen) and some plants with just female flowers ( pistils to catch pollen). Usually cannabis growers want to harvest just un-pollinated female flowers, so any males need to be quickly identified and removed before they release their pollen.
Problem 3:
Cannabis is a light loving plant but excess heat can degrade the morphology and quality of the buds. Professional indoor Cannabis growers thread a fine line between providing adequate light intensity without over heating their plants. As Cannabis matures and increases in bulk, it can absorb more thermal energy from grow lights and there for is becomes increasingly susceptible to heat stress.
Problem 4:
As Cannabis matures so does it's thirst for water and nutrients. Providing Cannabis plants with everything they need can be challenging, especially for growers using soil based potting mixes. Hydroponics is a very productive method of cultivating cannabis.
Problem 5:
Female Cannabis flowers photosynthesize and transpire moisture. Growers often use physical training techniques to expose more buds to direct light. Other cultivators use defoliation techniques to expose buds to direct light as well as increasing airflow in and around the plants.
To avoid these problems and set up your first grow tent with minimal issues check out our essential guide!
To find out more about the issues first time growers face, we highly recommend checking out the whole video, linked below!


text: One of the most important aspects of Islam is the belief in a Day of Judgment. It is one of the six articles of faith and is central to the Islamic concept of accountability. For Muslims, the present life is not the goal; rather, it is the life after death that is the focus. This does not mean that Muslims should not enjoy their lives, but it does mean that they have to be conscious of God in all aspects of their life knowing that they will be asked about their decisions.

All hail Georgia 'Toff' Toffolo, Queen of the Jungle! After 22 days in the Australian wilderness, the Made in Chelsea actress(?) has emerged triumphant, with more than 10 million people cheering her home at the end.
The 2017 series, which concluded last night, was dominated by media discussion about the presence of Boris Johnson's dad, Stanley, in the line-up. In the end, Stanley made it to the third week of the competition, coming across as a fairly sensible, paternal figure with many of his son's mannerisms but little of the bravura bluster. For all the talk about how Stanley could refresh the British public's cooling infatuation with the blond barnetted Foreign Secretary, he ended up doing little to stoke interest in the Johnson clan. But, of course, Stanley isn't his son, and if the bods at Conservative HQ were sitting up at night watching I'm a Celeb, it won't have been the 77-year-old former MEP who caught their eye. It will have been Toff.
Toff's success reiterates the immutable fact that the British public are bizarrely attached to posh people. The similarities to Stanley's son are striking: blonde, intelligent but gaffe prone, and with strong opinions on most subjects, at times she seems like Boris in a bikini. She has long exhibited her social conservatism (take, for example, her iconic horror on Made in Chelsea when she found out that her on-off boyfriend Sam had slept with someone in her bed) and even works as an events manager for Tory-leaning think tank Parliament Street. Add that to the fact she's a qualified lawyer with over a million Instagram followers, and you wonder whether a plan might be hatched to parachute the 23-year-old into a nice Home Counties seat when the opportunity of an election next arises.
Whether or not Toff is truly a politician in waiting remains to be seen, but it shows that Labour cannot be complacent about its millennial support. The existential question posed of the Labour party in 2017 is whether their success this year has been a product of their own strength, or their opposition's weakness. On the narrow scale of modern conservatism, Toff is much closer to Boris than to May (indeed she is probably closer to Corbyn than the Prime Minister) and that is something that still holds an inexplicable appeal. Around 25 percent of the audience for I'm a Celeb are aged between 16 and 34, which is around 10 points higher than you'd expect in its timeslot. With X Factor ratings this year sinking towards 3 million, the 10 million strong audience for I'm a Celeb looks ever better, and is now Strictly's sole competitor for the heart of the nation. Millions of millennials getting behind a Tory: not what you'd expect from 2017.
At its core, I'm a Celebrity is basically a form of mob justice perpetrated against privilege. But it is also a uniquely British performance of humility, and those who can endure it are rebaptised in the public imagination. Unlike other formats which have originated on our shores and gone on to have widespread international appeal (X Factor, Strictly, Britain's Got Talent), I'm a Celeb has struggled with global audiences. Only Germany seems to share Britain's masochistic delight; the US version was dumped in 2009 after just two series, whilst it took until 2015 for the Aussies to pick it up (and bizarrely Freddie Flintoff won that series).
After having been draped in snakes and coated in fish guts, how much fear could crossbench heckling possibly engender? What is an election campaign compared to Celebrity Cyclone? But with both parties already dreaming up strategies for the next election, whenever it should come, there are lessons to be learned from the jungle. The Conservative message is better carried with charisma than competence, whilst Labour HQ would do well to remember that British young people are not single-minded in their devotion to Mr Corbyn. Reality TV might be no great incubator for political ideas, but it can be an intriguing bellweather.
