text:
EKKLESIA is a Greek word which is translated "church". In the New Testament it signifies a company, assembly or body of people bound or compacted together.
The church which Jesus began to gather during his ministry, and which was recognized by the Father at Pentecost after their ransom price was paid, was the little company of disciples who had consecrated earthly time, talents and life a sacrifice to God. They were organized and bound together as members of one society, and as such had laws and government, and consequently a head or recognized ruling authority. The bonds were bonds of love and common interest. Since all were enlisted under the captaincy of Jesus, the hopes and fears, joys and sorrows, and aims of one were those of the other; and thus they had a far more perfect union of heart than could possibly be had from a union on the basis of any man-made creed.
Thus their organization was of the Spirit; their law for the government of each was love, and all as a whole were put under obedience to the "law of the Spirit" as it was expressed in the life, actions, and words of their Lord. Their government was the will of him who said, "If ye love me keep my commandments." Thus we see the early church organized, governed, and in perfect unity and harmony under the rulership or headship of Jesus.
For the law of that spirit which gives life in union with Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. — Romans 8:2
Such then is our definition of the church of Christ; it is perfectly illustrated by Paul (Romans 12:4-5) when he compares the church to a human body. In this figure, Jesus represents the head, and all who are his, constitute the body, over and through which, the head rules. Jesus has been, and always will be the head over his church as a whole; he is likewise the head and ruler of the entire living church, and in every assembly where two or three meet in his name he is the head, ruler, and teacher.
If it be asked: In what sense does he teach?—we answer, by exercising the qualities of the head, or teacher; using one or more of those present in unfolding truth, strengthening faith, encouraging hope, inspiring zeal, etc., just as the head of your body can call upon one member to minister to another.
But here a word of caution:—If one becomes as useful an instrument as a right hand, take care that you aspire not to become the head. Be not puffed up; pride will paralyze and render useless: "Be not ye called Rabbi (Master, teacher) for one is your Master (head) even Christ and all ye are brethren." (Matthew 23:8) And let not the least member despise his office, "for if all were one member where were the body?" (1 Corinthians 12:19) "Nay those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary" (1 Corinthians 12:22)—"God hath set the members every one of them, in the body as it hath pleased him." (1 Corinthians 12:18)
How simple, beautiful and effectual is God's plan of organization.
This brings us to our second proposition, that is to say: that all Christians should be joined to this organization. In the light of what has just been said as to the class constituting the church which Jesus organized, it is evident that if you have given up all your will, talent, time, etc., you are recognized by Jesus as a follower, and member of the ekklesia, or body of which he is the head, whose names are written in heaven. Thus we join Jesus' church and have our names recorded as members, by consecration.
But says one: must I not join some organization on earth, assent to some creed and have my name written on earth? No, remember that Jesus is your pattern and teacher, and neither in his words nor acts will you find any authority for binding yourselves with creeds and traditions of the elders, which all tend to make the word of God of none effect (Mark 7:13) and bring you under a bondage which will hinder your growth in grace and knowledge, and against which Paul warned you to "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made you free, and be not entangled with the yoke of bondage." (Gal. 5:1)
But say some: If it is not proper to unite with any of the present nominal churches, would it not be well to form a visible organization of our own? Yes, this is what we have—an organization modeled after that of the early church.
We think we've come back to primitive simplicity: The Lord Jesus alone is our head or lawgiver, the Holy Spirit is our interpreter and guide into truth; our names are all written in heaven; we are bound together by love and common interest.
Do you inquire—how shall we know one another? We reply, how could we help knowing one another when the Spirit of our Master is made manifest in word and act, and manner and look? Yes, the living faith, the unfeigned love, the long-suffering meekness, the childlike simplicity coupled with the constancy and zeal of maturity, make manifest the sons of God, and we need no earthly record, for the names of all such are written in the Lamb's book of life.
Do the sick need visiting or assistance?—these stand ready with consecrated time. Does the Lord's work require money?—these stand ready with consecrated means. Does his work bring upon them the reproach of the world?—these have also sacrificed reputation–all–all to God.
But again, do you inquire how shall we deal with one who walks disorderly in our midst; if we have no organization such as we see about us, how can we free ourselves from such, as the Lord requires us to do? We answer: Do just as Jesus and Paul directed.
Now, as in the early church, there are various degrees of advancement among the individual members, and Paul says (1 Thess. 5:14) some are feeble minded, comfort them; some are weak, support them; but while you should be patient toward all, warn the disorderly (those who are drifting away from the true spirit of Christ).
Don't mistake the disorderly for the weak, and comfort them; nor for the feeble-minded, and support them, but patiently, lovingly, warn the disorderly. Whom does he call disorderly? Doubtless there are many ways of walking disorderly, but in 2 Thess. 3:11, he speaks of some who work not at all, but are busy-bodies, and says they should do as he did—work that they be not chargeable to any; and if any will not work neither should he eat. Thus he said he did, that he might be an example to others. Then again, 2 Thess. 3:14: If after you have warned such a one and he "obey not company with him, that he may be ashamed. Yet count him not an enemy but admonish him as a brother."
How complete is the organization of the church of Christ with its heaven-written, love-bound and Spirit ruled membership, and how sad the error of mistaking the nominal for the real church?
Dearly beloved, let us again repeat the warning: "Stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made you free, and be not again entangled with the yoke of bondage"—not even in the slightest degree.

It's not what you think, really.
I haven't added a PayPal button to the side of my blog and I'm not asking for contributions.
It's just that yesterday, Noah stopped me from singing, "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" and pointed to himself and said "me." Then he proceeded to push me back and forth while he sang his version that sounded a lot like "Owe, Owe, Owe We Owe."
Marcus sings Row, Row, Row Your Boat to Noah during speech therapy while Noah swings. He usually stops after "Your" and Noah fills in the blank with boat (one of those words that he can say perfectly). So I guess I can say my Little Man is going up and beyond. The fact that Noah is carrying this over from his speech sessions is such an encouragement to me. I just need to get him to end his song with "boat" instead of "owe."
We'll save the "r's" for later, if you don't mind.

What's New for 2018?
The 2018 Bentley Continental GT is only available in convertible form as a hot new 2019 Continental is set to arrive later this year. The V8 engine is also gone, leaving only three 12-cylinder-powered models: GT, Speed and the new for 2018 Supersports. Also new for 2018 is a limited-edition Timeless Series. See the 2018 Bentley Continental GT models for sale near you
What We Like
Luxurious interior; surprisingly fast; somewhat practical thanks to a large trunk and standard all-wheel drive
What We Don't
One of the oldest designs on the market; pricey compared to rivals from Mercedes-Benz and others; no rear-seat room; only offered in convertible form
The 2018 Bentley Continental is the brand's entry-level model, but you'd never know it from the price. Available this year only in convertible form, the entry price for a 2018 Continental GT starts at $241,425, including destination and gas guzzler tax.
Still, that's reasonable by Bentley standards, especially since the brand's lineup also includes the full-size Mulsanne sedan, which starts at an almost unbelievable $310,000 with shipping. But don't be fooled by its price. While the Continental may seem like a bargain compared to other Bentleys, it doesn't skimp on the brand's famous luxury qualities and notoriously impressive performance.
For proof, consider the powertrain. Even a base-level Continental GT is equipped with a 12-cylinder twin-turbocharged engine boasting 582 horsepower. Next up is the high-performance Continental Speed, with a muscular 633 horses and a top speed of well above 200 miles per hour. Finally, new for 2018, there's the impressive Continental Supersports. Billed as the most powerful Bentley ever, it touts 700 hp, many sport-oriented modifications and a base price just a hair under $328,000.
The 2018 Bentley Continental GT also earns its luxury status with many standard and optional features, including 20-inch alloy wheels, a navigation system with Google Maps capability, front and rear parking sensors with a backup camera and automatic xenon headlights, while options include massaging seats, a high-quality Naim sound system and a wide range of personalization features ranging from stitching and embroidery to unique wheels, piping and trim.
Of course, there are a few drawbacks — like the small back seats and the ancient design, which has been updated but never redesigned since the Continental GT's arrival over a decade ago. Still, the Continental GT models ooze opulence, luxury and performance. Indeed, for the "entry level," these cars are pretty impressive.

Today I made one good decision with regard to healthy eating. At work we were offered some lunch from our favourite Italian vegetarian spot. The popular dish that everyone usually orders is the eggplant sandwich. It is composed of über tasty fried eggplant with tomato sauce in a warm soft kraiser bun. It's one of those "healthy..but not really" type dishes.
I decided to opt for a salad with beets instead. I remembered the restaurant offered a dish like this in the past so I hoped for the best. My colleague came back with a chickpea salad mixed with small slices of beets and red peppers in a simple and light olive oil based dressing. It was delicious, filling and sensible. The portion size was spot on as well. I was quite proud of myself for this decision.
I should mention, however, that I did eat a bunch of cookies today as well… You can't win them all!

Happy first day of February! I can't believe this year is already a month over. This week I started my first week of the new semester and already I've got a test on Monday. Work hard play hard amirite?
Anyway, that's not what I'm here to write about! Since it's the new month already and it's such a nice clean break into my blogging schedule I figured I would write about what I read this past month and maybe some things I'm hoping to get to this month.
So far I've read 4 books this year. My ultimate goal is 100, but my realistic goal is 80. I read 77 books last year so I'm hoping to make that a clean round number this year. According to Goodreads I'm only 2 books behind schedule, and while I don't really want to start off the year behind I know I'll have time to catch up once I'm done with school this May.
This January I read:
- Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J. K. Rowling
- Passenger by Alexandra Bracken
- When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon
- The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
When Dimple Met Rishi is an ARC I received from the author's publicist (s/o to her for being so awesome and kind!). I loved it soooo much I already loaned it out to a friend for her to read. I'm hoping to also write up a review for Justine Magazine in addition to the one I'll write for the blog.
I read Harry Potter because I have been nerd shamed for not finishing this series for a very, very long time (thank you Logan and Brittany especially) so this year I've made it one of my reading goals to do so. Slowly but surely I will get there I promise.
Passenger was released last year on January 5th and I was so excited to read it. For some reason it took me over a year to actually pick up the book but I'm so glad I did! There was wonderful character development and the plot sucked me right in.
I read The Handmaid's Tale for my Fem Lit class and I really enjoyed it. I wasn't exactly sure what to expect, but it was so good. It's extremely relevant to conversations going on today especially with recent political developments. I highly recommend you pick it up to if you're looking for something to challenge you.
I promise full reviews of Passenger and When Dimple Met Rishi. I've done mini reviews of the other two on my Goodreads account – just find me here.
I'm currently reading The Upside of Unrequited by Becky Albertalli. If you remember, Albertalli wrote Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda which was released back in 2015 and is also being made into a movie. So far I'm really loving this new one. It's set to release this April and I can't wait for you all to read it too!
There are a few other titles like King's Cage and The Last of August I'm stoked to read this month. I'm hoping to get into the Shades of London series as well.
How are you doing with your reading goals so far? What are you looking forward to reading this month?
Happy reading,
Sophie 🙂

There was a time where I was big into fighting games. When I got Street Fighter II Turbo for my Super Nintendo in the early 90s, I played that game non-stop for a year and a half. I also loved playing Samurai Shodown on my Genesis. When I got my Playstation I had a blast playing Tekken 2 and 3 (but somehow I missed out on playing the first Tekken on the Playstation). Tekken 3 was so much fun.
But sadly Tekken 3 would be the last fighting game that I was really big into. Sure, I still play a fighting game here and there, but for some reason I can't get into them like I used to anymore.
So Black Friday of 2013 rolls around, and those of you who read my "Videogame Shopping Report #17" blog post know that I bought Mortal Kombat: Komplete Edition for $11.99 at Best Buy during Black Friday. I figured that for 12 bucks I'd give the game a shot.
I started playing this game a little over a month ago, and ended up putting a lot of hours into the game. There's a lot of content here. The game has a few different single player and multiplayer modes. Single player modes in Mortal Kombat include a Story Mode, Arcade Ladder, and Challenge Tower.
The story in Story Mode is definitely good. Sure, it's not going to win an Academy Award or anything like that, and it can get kind of predictable and cliché. But it is very well done. Picture a good Mortal Kombat movie with CGI graphics except when it comes the most of the fight scenes, you'll have control of the characters in one on one combat (sometimes it's one on two combat).
Arcade Ladder involves you choosing a character and fighting ten fights with the last fight against the final boss. Arcade ladder can played single character vs. single character, or two characters vs. two characters tag team style (in this case you'll be choosing two characters).
The game does have finishing moves including Fatalities and Babalities. I'm sure this won't be a surprise to fans of the Mortal Kombat series, but the Fatalities in this game can get very graphic. I myself love the blood, gore, and extreme violence, but if I had some young kids, they are going nowhere near this game!
Playing the game is fun in itself, but playing and advancing in Story Mode and Arcade Ladder will net you some coins which you can spend to unlock stuff, so there's even more motivation to play those modes.
Coins can also be earned in Challenge Tower, where you can complete certain challenges, like defeating your opponent using only Special Moves. Challenges get harder as you go along, and I've only completed the first couple of challenges.
There's also some multiplayer modes including local multiplayer versus another individual via a second controller. The game has online multiplayer but I have not had the chance to try it out, so I can't say anything about it.
This Mortal Kombat: Komplete Edition comes with 4 additional playable DLC characters: Skarlet, Rain, Kenshi, and Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street movie series.
The PS3 version also comes with Kratos from the God of War series as a playable character, so if you own both an Xbox 360 and a PS3, you might want to pick up the PS3 version of Mortal Kombat if you like the God of War series.
Utimately Mortal Kombat ends up being the first fighting game that I have gotten into in a long while. The graphics look good and the fighting (at least in the offline modes) is really smooth.
Still, while I like a lot of things about the game, unfortunately I do have to point out one thing that I really don't like – when you're playing against the computer, sometimes the computer controlled characters beat you in unfair and cheap ways. There will be times when I will be doing really well in a fight and I'm winning. Then, all of a sudden, my computer opponent launches a couple of really quick attacks and before I know it I'm defeated.
Now this is nothing new for veterans of fighting games since they expect some computer-controlled characters to be cheap in their some of their fighting games, but casual fans of fighting games might get highly frustrated at some of their cheap defeats. I know there were several times I would lose to the computer in a really cheap manner, and this got me so frustrated that I almost starting throwing things across the room! (haha!)
Therefore, this makes this game kind of tricky for me to recommend. If you like fighting games and/or you are a fan of previous Mortal Kombat games, you'll probably enjoy this game a lot. However, the high frustration that you can get from being defeated in a cheap manner may also cause you to have some broken furniture in your house (haha!).

It's gonna happen in about an hour (5:20 PM EST/2:20 PM PST/ 23:20 CET).
This is a bonus game as it had a dontation incentive requirement - which was met about 5 minutes into the Metroid Fusion run.
Just thought I'd let you know, in case you want to watch this unusual run live.
PS: The other Super Metroid run at the end of the marathon is still gonna happen, but will be done by a single player.

Adams, Coleman rebound to beat Harrison
Recommended Video:
COLEMAN — Megan Adams was a rebounding machine on Tuesday for the Coleman girls' basketball team.
The 5-foot-8 senior forward hauled down 19 rebounds to help the Comets to a 48-44 victory over visiting Harrison. Adams, who had nine offensive rebounds on the night, added nine points for 5-10 Coleman, which rebounded from a lost to Tawas on Monday.
"Megan did a great job of boxing out, but she also reads the ball off the rim very well and knows where to be," Coleman coach Nick Katzinger said. "They had a pretty big size advantage on us, so I'm really proud of that effort."
Jaden Berthume led Coleman with 20 points and five steals, while Danielle Beauchamp had 11 points and four assists.
"This was a total team effort," Katzinger said. "Everybody scored and played really hard."
The Comets return to action on Thursday at Carson City-Crystal.
Harrison won the JV game, 52-16.

If morning shows the day, panchayat elections in West Bengal scrupulously followed the sanguinary script. Ever since polls were announced on March 31, Bengal had descended into a cycle of violence, intimidation and chaos. The ruling Trinamool countered the litany of opposition complaints with bland denials, as the nomination process and final date of polling wound through a tortuous legal and political path. On May 14, the violence, as expected, reached a bloody crescendo. In all, 14 people lost their lives, including TMC members; hundreds were injured. Bombs were lobbed, sticks wielded with impunity, guns brandished to terrorise voters. Especial attention was lavished on ballot boxes—some were set afire, some prised open with pokers, others had water poured inside them. Still, an indefatigable 72.5 per cent of the electorate voted.
On the face of it, it was just a rural election. But if capturing power in West Bengal is one of the avowed goals of the BJP, it has made poor progress in making itself count in the panchayat polls. "Any party which rules rural governments is in a good position to control the assembly and Lok Sabha elections," political scientist Biswanath Chakraborty says.
Consequently, in next year's parliamentary elections, TMC is in a position to dominate the 42 constituencies if they control the panchayats. Which is why, as Trinamool leader Suvendu Adhikari had blurted out inadvertently, the party aimed for "an Opposition-free panchayat". The goal is clear: the more members of Parliament, the more bargaining power it gives Mamata Banerjee in case of a hung parliament. But other, important stakes actuated the ruling party in their drive for a blanket control. Local administrations receive the bulk of the funds for the public distribution system, which makes it critical for the ruling party's coffers.
Perhaps most significantly, three years after Mamata captured power, the TMC's political monopoly is under threat. If between 2011 and 2014 the party faced a highly diminished, and demoralised, Left and a Congress that was the runt of the opposition, there was suddenly an emerging force to deal with. The BJP, in control at the Centre and, through it, of institutions like the CBI and the NIA, was breathing down TMC's neck over scams like Sarada and Narada. In fact, that the BJP had gained a foothold in Bengal was evident from its growing voteshare in assembly and Lok Sabha polls—from merely six per cent in 2011 to 17 per cent in 2016. The BJP's victory in Tripura assembly elections too, according to sources, rattled Mamata. As she sees it, the scourge of the BJP was upon Bengal.
This is what explains the brutal desperation with which Trinamool tried to protect its turf in the villages and districts of West Bengal. The violence that spread through the state, claiming 19 lives in total, most of which has been laid at the door of ruling party thugs, is being called 'unprecedented'. Veteran journalist Tarun Ganguly, who has covered elections in Bengal for over four decades, states, "In all the years that I have reported on rigged elections, I have never witnessed the kind of bloodshed that has taken place this time."
The results—counting takes place on May 17—say psephologists, are a foregone conclusion: indications are for a massive Trinamool victory. However, Chakraborty refuses to call the outcome of mass violence and rigging 'results'. "Trinamool will most likely have won the elections anyway," he says. Villagers attribute the success of public distribution schemes such as 100-day-work, Kanyashree (a scheme for girls) and subsidised rice and grains to Didi (Mamata). "Still, the party was not confident of itself." Chakraborty likens it to a bright student who cheats in order to pass an exam. But Mamata's self-doubt is also an indication that the BJP is a perceived threat and political observers point out that the party squandered the opportunity to give Trinamool a run for its votes.
Taking a more pro-active line, or putting Central pressure against the month-long preparatory violence, could have been a start. In that sense, it's a missed opportunity for the BJP.

Teomics proudly introduces SlideMaster, a humidity chamber designed by a histotechnologist that eliminates the majority of individual slide handling.
SlideMaster has three different parts: a humidity chamber, two individual slide holders with white contrast bars, and a waste receptacle. It has been designed so that all three components are compact and easy to use. A maximum of 20 slides can be used per unit.
To use, a hydrophobic barrier is drawn around the tissue section and slides are put in a special slide holder that secures them into place. Drops of antibody are placed on the slides and incubated. After incubation, the individual slide holders can be tilted and secured at a 45 degree angle. All 20 slides are rinsed off in one easy motion and the buffer drains into the waste receptacle. Slides are gently blotted (tissue paper) at the bottom portion of the hydrophobic barrier, which draws off any remaining liquid on the tissue.
The slide holders are then placed back in the horizontal position and incubation and rinse steps are repeated in the same fashion. For chromogen development, the SlideMaster unit has a contrast bar that changes the background from black to white. The black background produces high contrast so that the tissues mounted glass slides can be easily seen, and the white background produces high contrast and allows the technician to monitor the chromogen development. Slides are then rinsed and counterstained and are then ready for coverslipping. SlideMaster is very easy to use. It is light weight and durable. By making the hydrophobic barrier around the tissue section as small as possible, the total volume of antibody reagent can be significantly reduced per slide. Instead of using 100-200 microliters of antibodies per tissue section usually 50 microliters will completely cover small tissues and 100 microliters will cover larger tissues. With this method, slide staining is much more efficient, more consistent, drying-out of slides is minimized, and the cost of reagents is reduced.

Plini's sound and style have become unique that many guitarists and composer follow the way he's traced and enlist him as inspiration. On Handmade Cities, not only is there an atmosphere of optimism and triumph, Plini's riffs often depend on climbing and descending patterns. Although they are rarely melodic in the conventional sense, Plini's music has an atmosphere that washes over the listener and absolves them of the intellectual challenge generally associated with tech-centric music. This is certainly not to say that the music isn't intelligent; rather, it is thoughtfully constructed in such a way that the numerous technical solos, riffs and fleeting moments of ambiance are all poised in a single direction, like a river.Read the full review at prog-sphere.com

What I Should Know About My Thrift Savings Plan
Thrift Savings Plans and The Investment Fund Allocation Choices
As with all things, understanding the Big Picture can help tremendously in your financial goals.
A Thrift savings plan, or commonly known as TSP, is a retirement program offered to Federal Employees. A Thrift Savings plan allows the employee to contribute dollars towards their retirement on a tax deferred basis. Any dollars the employee contributes now into the plan is not taxable until taken out. The Agency will automatically contribute 1% of the employee's wages to the plan regardless if the employee contributes to their own plan. If the employee contributes money to their plan the agency will match dollar for dollar up to 3% of the employee's contribution and the next 2% is matched 50 cents on the dollar. So what does all this mean? Bottom line, if the employee contributes 5% the agency will match 5% as well when you include the automatic matching of 1%. So it would be wise for an employee to contribute at least 5% percent of their wages in order to take advantage of the full matching. The employee would literally be doubling their money by doing so. The TSP does allow for an employee to contribute more than 5% but the matching is capped at 5%. It is a good idea to check with the agency each year to see what your maximum contribution limits are.
The Thrift Savings Plan offers several choices of investment allocations. The choice of investment funds are G, F, C, S, I, and five L funds.
- G- fund government securities
- F-fund fixed income
- C-fund common stock which would be S&P 500
- S-fund is small to medium sized companies.
- I-Fund International stocks
- L-funds consist of four target date funds which automatically adjust the risk level of the portfolio based upon the target date which would be close to the date that the employee plans on retiring. The fifth L-fund is an income fund designed to produce income for someone who might already be retired and is looking for income now.
When you decide to retire you do have the option of doing a direct rollover to a traditional IRA without a tax consequence, which would allow you many more investment options in order to address specific goals and parameters you are trying to accomplish.
As always you should consult an independent financial advisor to help with these decisions. If you would like more information on these topics or others feel free to contact us toll-free at 1-877-213-7233 or at email@example.com.

See what fantastic work our Interior Designers can achieve... read more
Updating your interiors can be an incredibly daunting task, which is why we want to introduce you to our talented team of Interior Designers who work as part of the Laura Ashley Design Service. Their interior knowledge is second to none and they certainly make their client's homes a happy and welcoming place.
Izzy one of our talented Interior Designers takes us through the recent home makeover for her client Mrs Nicoll and we think you'll have serious interior envy after seeing what she achieved…
On my initial visit, the guest bedroom and dressing room were two separate rooms, both were very dark, one being used as an office and the other as a nail studio. The brief was to make them into a guest bedroom and dressing room creating a relaxing, luxurious and brighter atmosphere. The initial step was to have the central wall knocked through to open the two rooms into one.
Josette dove grey creates a romantic relaxed feel to the bedroom with soft hints of Amethyst as an ideal contrast; this was used with the lighting, a gorgeous trim on the curtains and cushions. Lots of different textures of fabrics were used in the bedroom to give a luxurious ambience to the room, the main focal point is the stunning crushed velvet bed. We wanted to use lighting in a different way around the bed whilst leaving space on the bedside cabinets.
Lloyd is a favourite print of my clients and mine. It was previously used in the nail studio so the client already had the curtains. This room needed to act as a spare bedroom for the client's granddaughter as well as a nail studio. The Lloyd print was used on two walls this time so the room did not feel so dark with the charcoal colourway and then the other two walls painted. The day bed is brilliant as it is so versatile in being used for clients as well as acting as a bed for the granddaughter.
The daybed is dressed with a multitude of differently textured cushions, by adding the Nigella Ruby as a contrast this room also has the luxurious element the main guest bedroom has.
The hallway was very dark with red carpet and mahogany woodwork so Mrs Nicoll wanted this much brighter with a modern feel. We wanted all the rooms to flow nicely off the hallway so chose the Montague Ruby and Lille Marble for the walls. Clustering mirrors is a very fresh way to place mirrors, we went for 5 different shaped mirrors at the top of the hallway and its double height meant we could a larger size. This technique also works well with smaller mirrors.
Lighting is crucial in the hallway, we used the Lille wallpaper so the Selby wall light reflected light off the pearlised sections of the wallpaper. All the wood work was lightened to an off white and the carpet was changed to a more neutral colour.
To create a more contemporary feel in the Kitchen we used two different tones of paint to create a subtle feature wall and the Emperor Paisley to add some luxe to the room. The sofas were changed from red to brown leather with the addition of bespoke Emperor Paisley cushions paired with the Romsey steel cushion. The Corbridge lantern wall lights were used to add a subtle modern touch that creates a lovely soft lighting in the evening instead of using the brighter spotlights.
Don't just take our word for it though let's hear from Mrs Nicoll herself…
"I had used the Laura Ashley design service a couple of years ago for a bedroom so I had no hesitation to do the same again for a bigger project. At the first consultation with Izzy in 2 hours, we had picked everything for the first 2 rooms. I gave her my brief and basic colours and she then did her magic. The knowledge she has of products, colour palettes and basically what just looks good together was amazing, from paints and wallpapers to fabrics, lighting and accessories. She had everything put together in a quote within 24 hours and samples came within a couple of days.
We had another meeting at the store just to go over the finer points so I was completely happy, and the order was placed. I knew exactly when to expect everything, most of it came very quickly, only special design things taking a little longer. I am over the moon with the end result, I could never have achieved this without Izzy. She took all the hassle out of the room transformation, my only regret is not taking before photos to show what a fabulous job she had done.
As soon as all the decorating in the 2 bedrooms was complete I had Izzy back to design the hall, cloakroom and kitchen, it's all complete now and looks fantastic. She has changed our home from being dark and slightly dated to bright and much more contemporary. I would really recommend anyone changing a room to use the design service. I still have the lounge and dining room to do, so we shall be seeing her again really soon"
Wow hasn't Izzy done a great job here, we're thrilled that Mrs Nicoll is so happy! Have you used the Laura Ashley Design Service before? Let us know below or on Twitter @LauraAshleyUK

FINRA Fines J.W. Cole Broker For Borrowing From Customer
Michael T. Swingle (CRD #723350, Clearwater, Florida), who was a registered representative of J.W. Cole Financial, Inc. between August 29, 2007 and November 3, 2016, consented to paying a $5,000 fine and being suspended by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") from acting as a broker or associating with FINRA member broker-firms until November 16, 2019 pursuant to a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent ("AWC") #2016051931501 that was executed on May 4, 2018. Swingle was found liable for borrowing from customers without J.W. Cole's authorization.
Michael T. Swingle Fined For Borrowing From Customer
The AWC stated that Swingle borrowed $118,500.00 from five J.W. Cole customers, three of which were elderly, from August 2014 to October 2016. The findings indicated that $96,000.00 of the $118,500.00 had been lent to Swingle by an elderly couple. Swingle supposedly needed the money because he was in a poor financial condition partly resulting from him engaging in gambling activities; yet, he persisted in gambling after the customers lent him the money. The AWC stated that $102,786.00 of the $118,500.00 borrowed by Swingle has not been paid back.
The AWC stated that loans were arranged by Swingle in contravention of J.W. Cole's procedures. Particularly, the firm was not provided with any notice of Swingle's activities, and J.W. Cole never authorized Swingle's loan arrangements before they were effected. Moreover, J.W. Cole's procedures at the time proscribed Swingle from borrowing customers' money in any situation. Evidently, Swingle knew about J.W. Cole's restrictions; he acknowledged it when completing attestation forms.
FINRA Department of Enforcement noted in the AWC that FINRA Rule 3240 forbids registered representatives from lending money to, or borrowing money from, customers absent written procedures of the FINRA member firm allowing for it and the borrowing arrangement meeting specific criteria. FINRA Department of Enforcement concluded that Swingle had committed a violation of FINRA Rules 3240 and 2010. The AWC confirmed that J.W. Cole terminated Swingle because of his unauthorized activities.
If you have experienced losses from Michael T. Swingle or other registered representatives who have borrowed funds from you, contact Soreide Law Group at (888) 760-6552 and speak with experienced counsel about a possible recovery of your losses. Soreide Law Group represents clients nationwide and only charges a fee upon recovery of losses.

Some angry youth at the Kwahu Ridge and its surrounding villages, numbering about 300, have besieged the forecourt of Abetifihene's palace clad in red in protest against the chiefs for allowing Fulani herdsmen who destroy their farms to settle in the area.
The Kwahu Traditional council chiefs led by their acting President, Nana Acheamfor Aseidu Agyemang, were in a crunch meeting with New Patriotic Party flagbearer, Nana Addo Akufo-Addo, this morning when the angry youth stormed the palace forecourt chanting war songs.
The out of control protest took the intervention of Nana Addo to ensure calm, before the NPP Presidential candidate left the scene. The Abetifihene, upset with the protests, called a police team to the scene to prevent any mayhem. Kojo Agyemang, one of the group's spokespersons, accused the chiefs of giving their lands to the nomadic herdsmen.
He stated that, the chiefs had promised to sack the Fulanis before this past Easter but they have not heard anything from them, They thus decided to besiege the palace and express displeasure with the Fulani herdsmen who they say are terrorising them.
Police have arrived at the scene but the youth are still resolute at the forecourt of the palace picketing. It should be noted that last month, Nana Akyemfo Asiedu Agyeman charged his people to arm themselves and clear the Fulanis in the area by next month if government failed to tackle the issue.
He said he will lead his people to drive out the Fulani herdsmen with machetes and guns if the authorities do not act quickly. Little did Nana Akyemfo Asiedu Agyeman know that the people would turn on the council if Government could not deal with their issues with the Fulani.
The Fulani herdsmen have gained notoriety over the years for various alleged vices like robbery, murder, rape and destruction of farmlands using their cattle.

Woke up, stayed in bed, saw a gecko above my head. He was upside down, lifting his leg like a dog. How strange. Then he pooped and peed, and it landed, inches from my face, on the sheet. So I stayed where I was, while he walked across a beam, and looked at the creatures, hidden in the woodwork; the alligator, the Klan Girl, the dog who becomes a human face with a cigar stub, the mama and baby bird, the crazy killer fish. Some day I hope to photograph and paint them, using a light box.
Two nights ago the moon was wreathed in a pastel swirl of clouds, soft gold, periwinkle blue, pink, silver and lavender. It looked like a tropical painting. It lit up the farm as we ghosted about, the dogs, my husband and me.
I have been sick for most of the month of March. But this morning, with the gift of the gecko, I knew, no matter what, I must get up and write this down.

The results of the studies summarized above do not provide unequivocal or strong evidence for any particular association between prostate cancer risk and hormone exposure (circulating levels of hormones) or polymorphisms in genes that encode for proteins involved in steroid hormone action or metabolism. The only associations with prostate cancer risk that have been observed consistently in at least three studies are slightly higher circulating testosterone and estrogen levels in high risk African American men as compared with lower risk European American men and a functional polymorphism in the androgen receptor gene; however, these associations are weak at best and mostly not statistically significant. There are no epidemiologic data about prostate cancer risk and exposure to exogenous hormones, including environmental agents with hormonal activity.
Several important points should be taken into consideration in interpreting the above-mentioned observations. First, there are many potential problems with studies that measure circulating hormone levels such as the usually large inter- and intra-assay variability in the immunoassays used [121,173], the fact that typically only single blood samples are studied, and the problem of within-subject variations over time and circadian rhythms. Another difficulty relates to the interrelationships between various hormones [143, 163] which are taken into account in very few studies during data analysis [164]. Second, young Asian men are probably at least partially Westernized in their life-style, and they cannot simply be compared with older Asians. In addition, young men studied today with respect to their hormonal status probably have a prostate cancer risk that is different from the risk currently recorded in older men of the same population, as suggested by the rising prostate cancer rates in Japan. Third, as indicated earlier, the factors that cause the differences in prostate cancer risk between black, white, and Asian men in the US may be different from those that determine differences in prostate cancer risk between Asian or African populations and populations in the US or West European countries. Fourth, circulating hormone levels provide very little information about concentrations at the molecular targets of these hormones in the prostate gland or about steroid hormone metabolic processes within the prostate. For example, less than 10% of circulating DHT is produced by the prostate and a substantial amount of serum 3a,17^-androstanediol glucuronide is derived from non-prostatic sources. Therefore, these two steroids are not very good indicators of prostatic 5a-re-ductase activity [156-158]. Also, aromatase activity has been reported to occur in the human prostate and the LNCaP prostate cancer cell line [180, 181], although there are contradictory findings [182,183]. In addition, estrogen levels in the human prostate exceed those found in the circulation [184], suggesting that local formation of estrogens may occur in the prostate and may contribute to disregulation of prostate growth. Finally, although there are reports of functional polymorphisms in genes encoding for proteins involved in steroid hormone action or metabolism, their influence on steroid hormone metabolizing enzyme activity or steroid hormone receptor activity within the prostate is not known. It is likely that these polymorphisms have only limited and probably cell type-specific influences on these regulatory processes, given the highly complex and often tissue-specific mechanisms of regulation of gene expression.
On the basis of the above-summarized studies, one may hypothesize that prostate cancer risk is positively associated with one or more of the following hormonal factors:
1. Serum levels of (bioavailable) testosterone as indicated by studies comparing healthy low and high risk men [133,134,139,143,146]
2. Serum levels of androgen precursors (DHEA) as indicated by a prospective study [160] and a study comparing healthy Chinese and US Caucasian men (androstenedione) [142]
3. Peripheral and possibly prostatic activity of 5a-reductase [134,142,151,164]
4. Serum levels of estrogens as indicated by studies comparing healthy low and high risk men [62-64,133,134,143]
5. Increased androgen receptor transactivation activity [155,169,170].
However, for each of these hypotheses there are, as indicated earlier, contradictory data, and the observed associations were at best weak.
Two of the four hypotheses implicate higher bioavailable circulating androgen levels in high risk men in comparison with low risk populations [173], suggesting increased androgen production [135]. However, this seems not to be true for all high risk groups. Meikle and co-workers [185, 186] reported that serum levels of testosterone and DHT were significantly lower, not higher, in blood relatives of prostate cancer patients (brothers and sons of prostate cancer patients who have a three- to fourfold excess risk) than in unrelated control subjects. Zumoff et al. [187] observed that circulating levels of testosterone, but not DHT, in prostate cancer patients were markedly lower in those younger than 65 years than those of 65 years and older, whereas control subjects had testosterone levels that were similar to those of prostate cancer patients of 65 years and older. In several of the earlier summarized epidemiologic studies, some hormonal findings were markedly different when comparing younger (18 to 25 -40 years) and older healthy men (over 40 years of age), or comparing younger (less than 62 to 70 years) and older (older than 65 to 70 years) prostate cancer patients with their age-matched controls. Circulating testosterone levels paradoxically decrease with aging, while prostate cancer risk increases [143-145, 188]. At the same time, SHBG levels increase with age and estrogen levels remain constant or increase [143,145,188]. Thus,bioavailable estrogens and particularly testosterone decrease with increasing age and increasing risk for prostate cancer. This may explain the lower prostatic concentrations of DHT with aging reported by Krieg et al. [184], but is in contrast to increasing pros-tatic estrogen levels with aging observed by this group.
These studies suggest that the role of androgens and estrogens in prostatic carcinogenesis may differ in younger men (or perhaps men with early onset prostate cancer) and older men (or men with late onset cancer), and may be different in men that are at high risk because of familial predisposition and those at high risk associated with their ethnic background or living environment. It is also possible that risk-increasing effects of elevated circulating levels of andro-gens and possibly estrogens may be effectuated early in life [133,134,140,142] or even before birth [141], rather than in one or two decades preceding the diagnosis of prostate cancer.

An investigation by the FBI and a division of the Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) has led to two individuals in Mississippi pleading guilty to conspiring to provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), an organization that has been designated as a foreign terrorist organization.
Jaelyn Delshaun Young pleaded guilty to conspiring with Muhammad Oda Dakhlalla to provide material support to ISIL. Dakhlalla pleaded guilty to the same charge on March 13.
The 22-year-old Dakhalla and 19-year-old Young both lived in Starkville, Mississippi. According to court documents obtained by Breitbart Texas, Young was going to "nikkah" with Dakhalla on June 6, 2015, so they could travel together without an escort. A nikkah is an Islamic marriage. The affidavit of a FBI Special Agent stated that Dakhlalla and Young are supporters of ISIL and wished to travel to Syria to join ISIL.
In order to commit the crime of conspiring to provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), a person must have knowledge that the organization is a designated terrorist organization, or that the organization has engaged or engages in terrorist activity.
The term "material support or resources" under federal law "means any property, tangible or intangible, or service, including currency or monetary instruments of financial securities, financial services, lodging, training, expert advice or assistance, safehouses, false documentation or identification, communications equipment, facilities, weapons, lethal substances, explosives, personnel (1 or more individuals who may be or include oneself), and transportation, except medicine or religious materials."
On May 13, 2015, an FBI employee had online contact with Young and she expressed a desire to travel to Syria to support ISIL. She also made several supportive statements of ISIL.
On or about May 21,2015, Young was identified by an FBI employee through social media platforms as a supporter of the terrorist organization ISIL.
On the same day, Young's Twitter page contained the following messages:
@1_ Modest_ Woman $$$ 101′ plane tickets
The only thing keeping me away is $$$ but working all of this overtime will be worth when I am finally there. #baqiya
I just want to be there :( #IS.
According to the affidavit, "'Baqiya' is an Islamic term with a literal meaning of 'remains,' likely referring to the ISIL slogan 'baqiya wa tatamaddad' which translates as remaining and expanding.'"
Young expressed a readiness to swear allegiance and join ISIL.
Young messaged:
Okay, I trust you Ukhti :) He (Dakhlalla) just really wants to make it to Dawlah to rectify the falsehoods here. I cannot wait to get to Dawlah so I can be amongst my brothers and sisters under the protection of Allah swt and to raise little Dawlah cubs In sha Allah.
The affidavit states that "Dawlah is a reference to 'ad-Dawlah al-lslamiyah,' which translates to Islamic State. The term Dawlah is ISIL's preferred name for itself."
Young told the undercover FBI investigators that "Dakhlalla says a lot of Muslims are caught on their doubts of IS bc of what US media says and he wants to assure them the US media is all lies when regarding Dawlah. After he sees change in that, he wanted to join the Mujahideen Ukhti."
"Mujahideen" is Arabic and is the plural form of mujahid, a term for a person engaged in jihad.
Young said that she and Dakhlalla had computer and other skills that she could use to aid ISIS.
On May 29, 2015, Young engaged in an online conversation with an FBI employee and "Young made it clear that, in relation to the Muslim family with whom she spends a great deal of time, and her local community as a whole, 'many of the family members and members of the community do not support Dawlah …. Young expressed that she disagreed with those family and community members and stated '… Dawlah is correct.'"
Young was taken into the custody of the United States Marshall's Service and is awaiting sentencing. She faces up to twenty years in federal prison, up to a lifetime of supervised release, and a $250,000 fine.
The case was prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney's Office of the Northern District of Mississippi.
The plea was announced in court on Tuesday by an assistant Attorney General in the National Security Division's Counterterrorism Section.

On 13 July 2007 H.H. Pope Shenouda III and Abune Paulos, Patriarch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church signed a Common Declaration in St. Mark's Cathedral in
, marking the end of a period of strained relations between the two Patriarchs. The reconciliation was facilitated through the fraternal co-operation of His Holiness Aram I, Armenian Catholicos of Cilicia, who had earlier met with Patriarch Paulos in Cairo , who greeted both Pope and Patriarch with the words, "You have made history ….. This is a historical day." Addis Ababa
Relations between the Ethiopian and
Under the terms of the Protocol of June 1959 the Metropolitan of Ethiopia was raised to the dignity of a Catholicos-Patriarch, which was the position when Abune Paulos was enthroned in Addis Ababa on 12 July 1992; but in 1994 a new Protocol was agreed by which the Coptic Church recognized the full autocephaly of the Ethiopian Church with her Primate enjoying full Patriarchal status. Immediately following this the
The reconcilation was also welcomed by Dr. Samuel Kobia, General Secretary of the World Council of Churches, who sent his greetings to the three Primates quoting from Psalm CXXXIII:1, "Behold how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." After recalling that both the Coptic and
Ethiopian Orthodox Churches were founding members of the WCC, he noted that Pope Shenouda had served as one its President from 1991-1998, Patriarch Paulos was currently a President and Catholicos had served as Moderator of the WCC Central Committee for two terms from 1991-2006. Dr. Kobia spoke of them as both being deeply rooted since the beginning of Christian history among the people of Aram Africa. "We rejoice with this promising news that extends far beyond bilateral relations by confirming that true reconciliation among churches is possible. We are grateful to each of you, the heads of churches, for the tangible witness you have offered in dealing successfully with church-dividing matters."
The text of the Joint Declaration is as follows:
We, Pope Shenouda III, Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of the See of Saint Mark; Catholicos Aram I, Catholicos of the Armenians of the Great House of Cilicia, and Patriarch Paulos, Patriarch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, give thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ for granting us the opportunity to meet in Saint Mark's Cathedral in Cairo, Egypt, July 13-14, 2007.
We would like to emphasize the importance of this historical meeting in which we reaffirm our unity of faith that, for centuries, has been the basis of our common doctrinal position and theological teachings. Deeply rooted in the Holy Scriptures, the Apostolic Faith and Tradition, the three Ecumenical Councils (
Pope Shenouda III and Patriarch Paulos would like to express their deep thanks to His Holiness Aram I for his fraternal efforts to bring this historic meeting into reality, hoping for him a safe journey back to Antelias-Lebanon, after his important visit to Addis Ababa.
After signing the protocol of the relations between the Coptic Orthodox Church and the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church in April 1994 by the heads of these churches through the approval of both holy synods, no meeting was possible to take place between the two heads since that time. Also, the Joint Commission did not continue its work after signing the protocol except during the short visit of the Coptic-Armenian delegation last month from

PBS Campus launches
It may not have ivy-covered walls or a football team, but PBS Campus hopes to
become the Web portal to the halls of academe.
The online service, which launches Monday at www.pbs.org/campus, is a free guide to
distance learning.
The joint effort among PBS, local noncommercial stations and colleges will
provide course materials via Web and/or video, with the colleges providing the
instructors and the degrees. At launch, 120 courses will be offered.
In additional, the portal will include a database of colleges, a student
center with answers to frequently asked questions, a message board and a monthly
PBS has been offering courses since 1981, and it claims more than 6 million
students in that time, but in the past, it has promoted the courses at the
institutions. This is its first effort to promote it to the general population
of potential students.

The Convention Centre Dublin (CCD) will host the European Congress of Immunology (ECI) in Dublin in 2024.
The Irish Society for Immunology (ISI) has a proud tradition of immunology research and helped the city beat off competition from Madrid, Florence, Prague and Geneva to win the conference.
This will be the 7th ECI, and takes place, 1-4 September 2024.
The ISI committee submitted the winning bid in association with Keynote PCO at this year's ECI 2018 in Amsterdam, supported by The CCD, Fáilte Ireland and Meet In Ireland.
The congress is expected to attract over 3,000 delegates from 80 countries and generate up to €5m for the local economy.
Professor Ed Lavelle from Trinity College Dublin, who is President of the ISI and Chairperson of ECI 2024, said: "We are thrilled to have been successful in our recent bid to host the 2024 ECI in Dublin.
"It has been a core ambition of the ISI to host this meeting and demonstrate our commitment to European Immunology in the context of the European Federation of Immunology Societies. Irish Immunology has a strong and growing reputation and this meeting will be a springboard for greater engagement with the international community."
Adrienne Clarke, Head of Conference Sales in The CCD, added: "We are thrilled that ECI 2024 is coming to Dublin and The CCD. The committee's hard work and dedication over the years has paid off and we look forward to welcoming all those from The European Congress of Immunology."
The ISI committee had previously bid twice, unsuccessfully, for the conference.
