Y'all, God is so faithful. Like, really. He never fails. And just when I start to waver and doubt and question everything I'm facing, He shows up in a huge way to remind me that I can trust Him and He really is the Father I can always rely on and who loves me unconditionally.
So yesterday, I went back to Duke for another test and appointment with my neurosurgeon. We figured that the test would come back normal considering the CT and X-ray did, but it was worth a shot and our peace of mind to make sure it was. It actually showed something - even though the pressure on my shunt valve is set to 100, it registered at 150. That's still within the "normal" range, but could explain at least part of the constant pain I'm experiencing. So we dialed the pressure down from 100 to 80, but I have to give it two weeks to see if that does anything. My doctor also said that my weight might be contributing to the whole problem with my shunt pressure, so it's looking more and more like I really need to have gastric bypass this summer.
That took from 9:30 to about 12:00, and then my sweet mama treated me to Olive Garden for lunch even though she doesn't have much money to spare this month. I haven't been there in ages, and it was delicious.
After that, we drove to Raleigh and back to my neurologist. We were actually about 45 minutes early, but we didn't have anything else to do, so we waited and I took a quick nap as I usually like to do when I want to escape the pain. Plus, I'm not sleeping much anymore, and that test this morning just added to the pain, so I needed it more than usual.
I love, love, LOVE my neurologist. She absolutely refuses to give up on me, nearly 10 months after I started realizing the medicine I was on had stopped controlling my migraines. She had a lot of new ideas, as well. Starting at the beginning of next month, after I'm done with this semester, I'm starting a Botox treatment (only once every 3 months) there at the office, which she said is literally the last and most extreme thing they can do for me. Because that's all there is left, she's also sending a referral to a specialty clinic that focuses on chronic headaches called The Carolina Headache Institute. I won't get to see them for about 3 months because there are some steps I have to go through first and they just have that long of a waiting list because they're so good at what they do. My doc called them "the specialists of the specialists." She also ordered me to start back on a medicine I was on back when my migraines were controlled and taking me off a bunch of the ones that clearly aren't working. And she gave me a set of four shots, Demerol, Phenergan, Toradol, and Decadron, so that I could at least have a few hours where I wasn't registering an 8 or higher on the pain scale.
I was so happy and so relieved by the time we left that office. No, it's not answers exactly, but it's progress. It's something new to try. It's a new doctor to see. It's another chance to find out what is wrong with my head. I felt like my hope was completely and totally renewed, and I was reminded just how faithful God is at showing up when He knows that I'm feeling doubtful. I was smiling again. And I loved the responses I got from my "prayer team". They may have just been texts, but I could feel them rejoicing with me. I am so blessed to be surrounded by such a faithful group of friends. I know I say that a lot, but it's so true.
And all of this happened on the anniversary of my baptism. Coincidence? I think not. :)

Somehow I never got around to mentioning this in the Empoprise-MU music blog proper, but I've been listening to Avaberee a lot lately. Avaberee is a female trio from Brisbane, Australia that I originally discovered via their a capella cover of a Justin Timberlake song.
They've also composed their own songs, some of which can be found on their YouTube page, their Facebook page, and on various other sources (they have a few songs on Spotify). And based on these successes, they are now on tour. (Because they're in the Southern Hemisphere, it's a winter tour.)
Now I have never been to Australia, but I do understand that (using words associated with another part of the world) it's a big country. Back when I was working on my MBA (before the members of Avaberee were born), I discovered that Australia's freeway system (at the time) was not as well developed as the United States. So if you're driving between Australia's major cities, it can take a long time. And I'm not even thinking about Perth, which is on the opposite side of the country from the other major cities.
Avaberee's tour has taken them to most of the major cities in the eastern part of Australia, including their hometown of Brisbane, Sydney, and Canberra. From their Facebook page, it appears that they are driving between these cities, rather than taking a plane. (They're still a young band, so they're not getting large enough crowds to justify a private plane.)
The band just finished its Canberra date this past weekend, and in a week, they'll be playing their last tour date - in Melbourne. Now Avaberee has not consulted me about their tour arrangements, but I'm guessing that there's a pretty good chance that they'll be driving from their hometown of Brisbane down to Melbourne for this final date.
If that's what they're doing, how long of a drive will it be?
Somewhere between 18 and 19 1/2 hours, depending upon the route.
View Larger Map
Let's put it this way - if they decide to sing "100 Bottles of Beer on the Wall" on the way down, they'll have to sing it many, many times. (Twenty-eight, to be exact. No, not twenty-eight verses. Twenty-eight complete renditions of the entire song, or 2,800 verses.)
Of course, Google Maps can't tell you everything about a particular trip. To find out more, you need to contact real people, such as those who contribute to TripAdvisor. Although the thread that I found about the Brisbane to Melbourne drive dates from 2008, it's presumably still applicable today. One contributor noted the difference between the inland route and the coastal route.
I have done the drive twice now, last time was a few years ago. Our first time, we went through Sydney to catch up with some friends, so stopped overnight there and then the next day up along the Pacific Hwy. This was a long drive with too many stops and reasonably heavy traffic. On our second attempt, we took others advice and went the fastest and most direct route, via the Newell Hwy. I am trying to recall where we stopped overnight, I think it was Parkes. We had two drivers, so the driving load was shared but it is still a long time in the car....around 20-22 hours of driving time. The Newell is a lot quicker than other routes but be warned, it is long, flat and very boring.
We have something similar in California for travelers from Los Angeles to San Francisco. You can take the scenic but long U.S. Route 101, or you can take the inland, boring Interstate 5. But even if you're driving on the 101, you won't be spending TWENTY OR MORE HOURS driving up the coast.
Oh, and there are other hazards that you don't necessarily encounter in California. The contributor continued:
Road kill is a real eye opener as well, so be very careful driving this road at dawn or dusk times especially. WE actually clipped a kangaroo about 7am, one bright, sunny morning....very close call.
Yes, you read that right - you can hit KANGAROOS on the inland route. While highways in the United States have a number of hazards, kangaroos are not among them.
Another contributor reiterated the point:
When you consider the petrol cost, and accomodation cost it really is not worth it.
However, if you must do it then the easiest way is inland via the Newell HIghway, and as already mentioned it is long and boring. There are a lot of trucks that pass this way and a lot of road kill.
And another:
This is the road train route between Melbourne and Brisbane and they go that way for a reason. Just be aware that your travel will have to be during daylight hours once you get out west as the roos are a real problem. So leave after sun up and be at your destination well before the sun sets.
So this is why I will never volunteer to be a roadie for Avaberee. I mean, it sounds glamorous, and the women are fantastic singers and performers, but if their car hits a kangaroo, they're not going to be the ones to clean things up. No, they'd get the Yankee roadie to do it. And since they speak Australian, it would probably take me a while to figure out that they're asking me to remove a kangaroo carcass from the hood of the car. They'd be saying "bonnet" and "windscreen" and "bitumen" and stuff like that.
But I'll be "barracking for" Avaberee on the final date of their tour, and should you happen to be in Melbourne next weekend, they're at The Workers Club on Saturday the 17th.
Provided that the kangaroos let them pass.
Work Boy Work - but from where? - This certainly wasn't expected. In mid-March, I was getting ready for my exchange student daughter's spring break. We hadn't booked anything yet, but we we...

Novembers Doom ~ Aphotic (The End Records)
Release date: May 10, 2011
After the Chicago doom trust released their last two albums, The Novella Reservoir and Into Night's Requiem Infernal, some fans were beginning to doubt the last half of the band's name. Certainly no one is complaining about the psychedelic and stoner metal experimentation the boys were playing with. It's just, we were missing that sonic despondency Novembers Doom is so noted for. Fortunately the guys have made their eighth effort, Aphotic, an album with a feel that harks back to their earlier records, but perhaps a touch more aggressive. Aphotic means "having no light" and this album lives up to the name. Dark and dreary, it gives you the sense there is no light left anywhere in the world. Paul Kuhr has incredible deep growls and he shows them off to perfection on the opening track, "The Dark Host." The writing on this album is outstanding and the lyrics to "The Dark Host" are some of the best. Kuhr's death growls meld perfectly with the dark lyrics:
"This is the law, the law of the land
Where Angels earn their keep.
The dark light, the dark light curse.
We cheated our way to midnight."
The second track, "Harvest Scythe" is not as doomy as the rest of the album but it is heavy and brutal, with a good mix of clean vocals and growls, a catchy chorus, angry lyrics, a crushing riff and pounding drums. "Buried" brings you back to the doom with harsh lyrics and a killer solo.
"What Could Have Been" is absolutely amazing. An acoustic ballad with piano and violin that may not appeal to most metalheads, but I find it to be a pleasant addition on this album. After a 90 second acoustic intro, Kuhr takes the lead on the vocals but gives way to Anneke Van Giersbergen, former vocalist of The Gathering. She sings the majority of the vocals and her performance is simply incredible. Her haunting, angelic voice smothers you with sadness yet this song is so beautiful you just can't stop listening to it. Rachel Barton Pine's violin work is ethereal.
After listening to this emotional song you may want to turn off the CD and quietly revel in the bleakness, but if you're like me you're ready to get back to the metal. "Of Age And Origin – Part 1: A Violent Day" brings you back in good fashion. As the name suggests it's full of angry, violent lyrics and has a decent solo thrown in. Dan Swanö (Nightingale, Edge of Sanity, Bloodbath), who mixed Aphotic, turns in a superb guest vocal appearance here. "Of Age And Origin – Part 2: A Day Of Joy" Is the Yang to Part 1's Yin, a mostly acoustic based piece, both dreary and melancholy.
The album ends with a couple of good, lengthy, dark and doomy tracks, "Six Sides" and "Shadow Play." The former grabs you by the throat with a dominating riff line, and its death metal tendrils wrap around your lungs sucking you into the dark void. The latter is a darkly elemental auditory rendering of where the band came from and who they are now.
Aphotic brings Novembers Doom back to their roots a bit, without surrendering the growth they've made over the last couple of records. The album is superbly produced. The dark lyrics are well-written and Kuhr's vocals are better than ever. The emotion runs high as is to be expected. One of their best albums yet, absolutely a masterpiece!
Rating: 8.3/10

I'm Welcome at my Father's Throne
I'm welcome! …in the presence of Almighty God
And I believe He'll never turn away from me.
As I approach, He sees Jesus Christ, His Son
Who saved me, cleansed and set me free.
Free from the bondage of sin and shame
Free to accept God's love and grace;
Showered on me, as I've trusted in Him
No matter the time, no matter the place.
In all of life's trials, I know I've been blessed;
To have God's Spirit to comfort and guide;
To know without doubt, that He's in control
And the Lord Jesus is always close by my side.
At times, storms of life can be dark and fierce
With the winds of trouble blowing strong;
But in faith I reach out for the Lord's loving Hand
And seem to hear from Heaven, this sweet song;
With your hand in my Son's, come unto me;
And kneel here together before my throne.
My child, I see the blood He's shed for you
And you're loved, welcome; you are one of my own.
It's amazing! It's wonderful! I can hardly believe it!
But it's true, I'm a child of the KING of kings.
And to know I'm welcome at His Throne anytime…
Gives me peace, great joy and a heart that sings''
I give praise to God for the honor
of being His child, and for the blessings
and the welcome this precious honor brings.
Shirley Adcock Baucom © 5-30-19
I'm welcome at My Father's Throne

I've been spending alot of time working on my Etsy shop this week, and along with retaking some photos, I also listed a couple of new items! They are just in time for cooler weather, too! These two new scarves were crocheted (by me, of course) using my Greensleeves Crochet Scarf pattern. They are super soft, super long, and super stylish! And the best part is that even though they are brand new items, they are starting at 50% OFF full price as part of my "Make Way for Baby" Clearance Sale!
Cranberry Fields Crocheted Scarf
I do hope you will stop by the shop and see what else is new. Once the baby arrives, I will put the shop on vacation for a little while so that we can really focus on enjoying our "babymoon." But when I come back, I'm hoping to make some changes to my product line and general shop appearance. So if there is something you think you might want to buy, hurry on over and snatch it up while you still can! 😉

Season 2 and beyond!
StooperSaiyan posted a topic in Destiny's Updates coming soon!So today, Bungie had a panel at Twitch Con 2017 revealing some upcoming events. First of all, they said that their are 4 "seasons" planned for Destiny 2 in Year One. Major content updates are most likely going to be released at the start of a new season. Sandbox updates and in world tuning will continue all throughout the year. Season 2 is going to have "The Dawning" event. Social spaces will have little things such as ice hockey and snowball fights that you can have with other players (along the lines of soccer in The Farm). There are big plans for coming up Iron Banners as well. Season 2 of Iron Banner will include items such as gear ornaments, new weapons, and perks. It also appears that you will be able to use tokens and shards to buy specific gear and weapons from Saladin. This also holds true for Trials of the Nine in Season 2. There will be an event called Clarion Call that will take place before the end of Season 1. It seems like an event that is pretty much a way to help finish any last minute activities before Season 2. Double experience will be rewarded for running it with a clan mate. Bright engrams will feature new emotes, gear, ghosts, ships, sparrows, and all the other usual items found inside of Bright Engrams. And there will be another Faction Rally with new rewards as well. Those seem to be pretty much all the highlights of the panel. Hopefully I did not miss anything. So plenty to look forward to in the world of "Destiny 2" in the future. Keep up the fight Guardians. See you around.

Anna is one of my best friends. I love her and her sweet little family so much. And every time I get my 'fix' from some hang-time with Anna, I really do feel 'Closer to Fine'. A little bit more happy, a little bit more sane, and little bit more at peace with . . . whatever. Anna has a way about her. We all need friends like that.
I'm trying to tell you something about my life
Maybe give me insight between black and white
The best thing you've ever done for me
Is to help me take my life less seriously, it's only life after all . . .
-Indigo Girls
So yeah, she doesn't look like she had a baby last week. But yeah, that's just how she rolls. She'll be in her skinny jeans next week, probably. Oh, and she's like, Super Mom too. Delivered her sweet baby Colin in less than 20 minutes. No big deal. :)
Anna, Buddy and Bella - I'm thrilled for this new start in your precious family! It was an absolute treat to take some photos of you all!
Bella found something pretty special in her Easter Basket this year. Don't you think? ;)

ing to strike a comfortable balance between a narrow focus on the subject himself and a broader approach that outlines and clarifies the issues at hand, I hope to have contributed to a more comprehensive understanding of the Jew in the early life of the United States.
Whatever success I have had in shedding new light on Isaac Harby and the world in which he lived and worked is due in very large part to the help and guidance I received from others.
No words can convey adequately the extent of my indebtedness to those who have helped me to complete this work. Professor Jonathan D. Sarna, now of Brandeis University, my teacher and friend, encouraged and challenged me to set my sights on more ambitious scholarly horizons. Professor Jacob Rader Marcus, the dean of American Jewish historians now in his ninety-eighth year, took me under his scholarly wing fourteen years ago and inspired me with his love for the history of the American Jew. I appreciatively thank my teacher, Dr. Alfred Gottschalk, president of the Hebrew Union College--Jewish Institute of Religion, who provided me with the latitude to undertake this project.
This study was greatly improved by many helpful suggestions from members of the HUC--JIR faculty: Michael A. Meyer, Malcolm H. Stern, Samuel Greengus, Isaac Jerusalmi, and Herbert Paper. Professor Robert Rethy of Xavier University provided translations of two important German documents. Sonya Rethy provided excellent editorial guidance in completing this book. Lorraine Meyer (may her memory be for a blessing), the late and lamented regional director of the Cincinnati chapter of the American Jewish Committee, cheerfully volunteered to edit the original dissertation, and I benefited greatly from her careful reading.
I happily acknowledge the support I received from Herbert Zafren, director of libraries, David Gilner, deputy librarian, and library staff members Martha Fisher and Ida Selavan of the Klau Library and Marilyn Krider of the American Jewish Periodical Center on the Cincinnati campus of the Hebrew Union College--Jewish Institute of Religion. The assistance given to me by Abraham J. Peck, the administrative director of the American Jewish Archives, and by Fannie Zelcer and Kevin Proffitt, archivists, was invaluable.
Isaac Harby's descendants rendered much help: Virginia Moïse Rosefield and Perry Moses, both of Sumter, South Carolina, and Anita Moïse Rosefield Rosenberg of Charleston were among the first to suggest that previously unseen documents and papers might

A good spending plan is nothing but utilizing your own resources in a meaningful manner which will help you out in achieving your budgets in the easiest way. To know about your saving or any investments you primarily need to know about your expenses, debts, and needs.
In the present economy you need to plan out everything before you implement, so when you plan well in advance about your saving, investments, funds, etc. then everything would just seem like a cake walk.
People generally hate budgets as they look too confining.
Just like your daily diet, budgets are always begun with big intentions, only to be ditched because spending restraints look much like a pain preventing you from using your money as you wanted to.
But in today's world, where unemployment is at the peak and where clients and customers are clinging over a multi-year credit spree, a budget is the medicine which many households need. It's never painful if you just understand one fact "It is YOU who control your budget, the budget DOES NOT control you."
Every month it's you who decides how much you want to spend on your lifestyle, your groceries, your holidays, your parties, your debts, and your interests. There is a huge list that you need to take care of. It's you who make these decisions.
You can choose either a new wardrobe or clearance of your debts; you can choose a getaway rather than a long weekend. The bottom line is you decide whatever you want to with your money. But the problem is every individual wants to do everything at once.
The moment you receive your paycheck we all expect it to cover all our expenses and get us everything we want. The moment you are out of funds we fall prey to the plastic cards.
A very bad idea indeed
The best way to get your earnings lined up would be by putting your financial goals in writing. The writings can make them seem more specific and attainable. However, everyday purchases and desires get in the way you're saving for the future.
The best way to make sure your expenses don't overwhelm your goals is to make a good spending plan. A spending plan is not like a strict rulebook. Instead, it's your guide that will be of help to walk you through your future and, let you reach all your defined goals.
Monthly Plan
Plan your budget for every month, many believe in averaging and planning out budgets in quarterly, half yearly or a yearly fashion. Ask yourself, do you spend the same amount every month?? Would you have the same expenses every month?? The answer is NO, So instead of planning your budget on an average, make exact planning for every month beforehand.
Managing Discretionary Bills
Every month you will have some fixed bills like your rent, taxes, insurance premiums, etc. make sure you list them all first and clear them first in your spending plan. If you don't do it now they pile up and cause havoc in your spending plan later.
Clear off high interest loans
All the cards and loans that charge higher interest rates clear them off first. Try to pay the minimum bill every month and if possible pay more than the minimum due.
Avoid Use of plastic
Try not to use the credit facility offered by your banks, If at all you need to take only that much which you can afford. Never go for any high interest cards and the best of all opt for card free wallet. This will keep you much away from unwanted expenses.
If all your expenses are met and you're left with balance in your account then prioritize your wants, for example, your video games can be delayed further than your vacation. Either you can split it and save the money and try that out in the next month.
And that's it. That is a successful budget. It is not difficult. It does not have to be laborious on your lifestyle. All you need to do is understand that you have complete control over your money, and it is you who decide where you spend and for what you spend that money each month.
Do Our Emotions Affect The Way We Spend?
Money is the root of all evils. Well, only if we class evil as the things we want. Emotion dictates everything we buy, from the type of juice we get at the supermarket to a piece of gadget wizardry at our local Apple Store.
But what causes these unstable emotions that tell us to empty our bank accounts and spree, as we have never spree before or, alternatively, tighten our purse strings and save our money cash?
Impulsive spending is one of the biggest contributing factors to affect our emotions. In today's society, you can't turn on a TV, radio, computer or even leave your house without being bombarded by media messages that influence us emotionally.
The Negatives
Playing on our deepest psychological needs, these messages are designed to suggest, entice or recommend products for us to purchase. They also quietly suggest what we're missing in our lives, and direct us to where we can fill that materialistic gap, whether it's in the designer clothes section of a department store or the nearest car dealership.
People who are more susceptible to these messages tend to develop impulsive spending disorders, where the individuals become barricaded in an impulsive mindset that stops them from saving money, continuously producing a negative outlook on finances. Furthermore, impulsive spending causes the individual to discredit the value of money, often developing into compulsive over-spending, paving the way for darker emotions like remorse and guilt.
Financial hardship can also induce emotional responses when it comes to spending. Many people who have been involved in expensive situations like divorce or bankruptcy rarely associate money with positive feelings. Instead, emotions such as bitterness or anger shroud most financial decisions, causing people to bury their heads in the sand. This can lead to depression, and the correlation between financial difficulty and suicide is well documented.
The daily struggle of life can also affect the way a person spends their cash. No one likes to be controlled by money, but if you're not making enough to survive, emotions like despair and contempt set into your financial outlook.
The Positives
If you feel depressed, it's safe to say that you should stay away from the shops. But positive emotions can actually benefit your shopping experience. Many people are better able to organize their shopping needs when feeling emotionally positive. Choices become clearer, and the focus narrows to what you need – to an extent – rather than what you think will make you feel better.
When shopping for a friend or loved one, the choices you make and the amount of money you spend will reflect your emotional stability. If you're indifferent and looking to get out of the shops as quickly as possible, you'll find the closest thing relating to a gift and buy it. This is not impulsive purchasing.
If you are happy or experiencing the benefits of positive emotions, then spending your cash will sustain this feeling. You'll look to make your purchases reflect quality instead of quantity, a decision many of us deflect when we've got a wad of disposable income.
Top Ten Ways to Spend Less on Christmas
With most households a little short on cash this year, many people are wondering just how they are going to afford the festive season. After all, for all its wonders, Christmas isn't exactly the cheapest time of year.
The good news is that provided you're willing to be frugal, it is possible to have a great Christmas without destroying your credit. It simply requires a certain amount of savvy shopping. Here are ten simple ways to spend less this Christmas.
Compare Prices (Obsessively)
Don't underestimate how much money can be saved with a little bit of price comparison. Never accept the first price you find. There's a wealth of price comparison sites available online. And they make comparing the price of everything from clothes to consumer electronics a simple and straightforward process.
Look for Discount Codes
Once you've found the best price for something that you want to purchase, the next step is to find a discount code for it. Though it's not always possible, you might be surprised to learn just how many coupon codes are lurking online. To look for them, simply jump on Google and search "the shop or items name" and "discount codes". How does a ten percent discount for ten seconds of work sound?
Purchase Discount Gift Cards
Discounted gift cards not only make great gifts, but they're also a great way for you to save money when doing your Christmas shopping. Sites such as giftcardrescue.com sell gift cards for as little as seventy percent of their retail value. And while you can't find gift cards for every store, when you get lucky, a thirty percent discount can really increase your purchasing power.
Ask for Discounts
Whenever you find yourself making an expensive purchase, don't be afraid to ask for a small discount. Regardless of where you are shopping, the worst that can happen is that the salesperson says no. And you might be surprised to learn just how many times they actually say yes. Asking for discounts isn't just wise when shopping on the high street either. Provided an online retailer offers a live chat facility, use it to ask for a discount.
Look for Two for One Promotions
Provided you're careful, two for one promotion can be a great way to save a tidy sum at Christmas. Establish what stores in your area are offering such promotions and then simply purchase multiple gifts at the same time. Don't however fall into the trap of purchasing items that you otherwise wouldn't. That's how you spend more, not less.
Avoid Impulse Purchases
While most consumers will purchase expensive gifts with care, many make impulse purchases when it comes to smaller items. Unfortunately, those small gifts can really add up. To avoid making silly purchases in the heat of the moment, always shop with a list. And of course, always shop with the discipline to stick to the said list.
Secret Santa
With the economy showing little signs of recovery, most people are a little short on cash this year. Secret Santa is therefore likely to be more popular than ever. When a group of people decides to do Secret Santa, everyone just purchases a single gift for a single person in the group. To determine who gives a gift to who, everyone puts their name into a hat.
Don't Purchase Gifts for Yourself
When you spend a few hours shopping for others, purchasing something small for yourself can be incredibly tempting. Unfortunately, if you're trying to cut your Christmas costs, a little bit of discipline is very much required. It's also worth noting that such discipline will be greatly rewarded when the January sales roll around.
Photo Gifts
Collages of family photos make for excellent gifts for relatives. For the cost of a photo frame and an hour of your time, you can easily come up with a gift that is both valuable and personal. And provided you're willing to invest in a quality frame, you can expect the said gift to last for many years to come.
Put Limits on Gift Giving
Finally, the easiest way for a cash strapped person to save money this Christmas is to simply be honest with people. It's estimated that a third of all consumers changed their gift policies last year in response to being a little cash strapped and the number is expected to be even higher this year.
Don't be afraid to talk to your family and friends about putting limits on the amount of money that you can spend on each other. They'll probably be delighted that you suggested it.
Tips on Controlling Your Expenses
Americans are deep down in debt. As per the Federal Reserve, presently they owe a total of 850 billion dollars as personal credit card debt and an average of roughly 16,000 dollars per household.
Many Americans find themselves resorting about using credit cards for paying for the medical bill. And though it's not recommended, still this is often the only factor preventing bankruptcy, especially in case of the elder citizens of the country.
People who don't pay for medical bills with credit cards used to use them to make the ends meet in this post-recession economy, while others use them to fulfill their shopping impulse.
If you belong to the latter category, then you are fortunate as you can reduce the amount of debt by simply managing your hard earned dollars prudently and controlling your shopping habit. Here are some effective steps towards controlling your spending habit.
- Analyze your needs – At the outset, you need to analyze your requirements, otherwise, you may have to struggle with your finances. Avoid being an impulsive buyer. Whenever you get excited about buying a thing or sign up for any new service – stop and think twice. Think whether or not you need it right now and at all. Becoming ruthless about your spending is not good for your personal finance.
- Consider money as time – If you want to spend in a cavalier fashion, don't think about the costs, but calculate how many years of your life you would take to earn that amount. For example, if you want to buy a pair of jeans worth $75, think how long you would take to earn 75 dollars of in-home pay. If you need to work those hours just to buy a pair of jeans, would that be worthy of your time? If not, then you must pass on that purchase. Shift your view; think about buying things with time, not by money as it would help you understand your priorities.
- Consider storage and maintenance of your belongings – Everything you own would cost you something in the currency of both storage and maintenance. Before you think about a new purchase, think whether or not you have enough space to store the item. You should also care about ongoing attention you need to pay towards it. Considering all these things, you may find the stuff not so attractive after you add in all of these factors. Be organized and avoid spending money again and again on the same thing by knowing what you have and what you haven't. Before spending dollars ask yourself if you have anything that would serve the same purpose. Instead of buying the same thing that you already have but can't find right now, spend some energy on finding it.
These are just some of many finance tips through which you can significantly control your spending habit, and save the money that you can use for some constructive purposes or paying off existing debts. Also, try to avoid punching your credit card every now and then. Use cash instead of using credit cards.
Five Tips for Saving Money on Home Expenses
With as many bills and everyday expenses as we have to pay for, organizing your budget and figuring out where you can tighten your spending may seem overwhelming.
Reassessing your big expenses, like your house insurance, car payment, and medical insurance may be the way to find out where you can save the most significant amount of money, but curtailing small expenses is important too– and, fortunately, much simpler. The following five tips will help you save on home expenses:
Cook meals at home
Do you find yourself frequently ordering takeout at the end of a long day because you don't feel like cooking, or eating lunch out because you didn't plan ahead and bring a lunch? The cost of restaurant food adds up over time.
Even the cheapest fast food costs more to buy than to make. (Don't believe us? Do a cost-per-serving analysis. That dollar-menu burger doesn't seem so cheap now!) Reserve restaurant meals for celebrations or special treats. Cook most of your meals at home. Make large batches and freeze the extra for a convenience meal when you need it.
Drive less
Do you automatically pop into your car when you need to go somewhere without thinking, "Is there another way?" If the weather is nice and your location is close, consider biking or walking. If a coworker lives close to you, consider carpooling to work.
Organize your shopping lists and plan ahead of time so that you can take fewer trips to the grocery store and minimize driving time while running errands.
Spend less money on haircuts
For some people, this can lead to major savings. It's simply a myth that hair needs to be cut every 6-8 weeks to stay "healthy." In the case of women, consider a lower-maintenance cut that will look still look nice after 3 months. If you frequently get highlights or expensive hair treatments, consider scaling back.
In the case of men, if you have a very simple haircut, you don't need to pay a barber once or twice every month to get perfect results. (We're looking at you, Mister "two on the top, one on the sides"!) Invest in a basic home clipper set; it will pay for itself in just a few months.
With the attachments, you'll get a consistent, neat cut every time. Saving $20 a month (or far more, in the case of some!) will add up to a large sum over time.
Always buy generic or store-brand products
Often produced by the same manufacturer, they're as high-quality as name-brand products. You almost always can't even tell the difference between the two. 30 cents of savings per item doesn't seem like much now, but it adds up to hundreds of dollars a year.
Consider upgrading your appliances
Old, inefficient appliances, including outdated and poorly-insulated water heaters, could be costing you a lot of energy. There are many gas water heater options in Shreveport; consider researching replacement options.
You may find a new water heater would be a good money-saving investment. There are many options out there so make sure you look at everything you can like gas water heaters Shreveport.
Following these 5 tips will give you a good start on cutting your home expenses, whether you need to do so due to suddenly being laid off or simply so you can put more away into savings to improve your peace of mind.
Tight on Money? 3 Ways to Make Payments on Time
Are you having trouble paying your bills? Are you getting close to having trouble? Chances are you want to bury your head in the sand. This leaves you likely to be kicked in the rear. Bad credit scores, debt collectors and trouble are on the horizon. Here are three ways to continue making payments:
Use All You've Got
Have a side job or two at all times, not just during lean times. You know what your skills are. Put the word out that you are for hire. Take seasonal jobs or freelance. Most people have talents or skills that can be used to generate a little income by working several hours a week.
This won't only help you continue to pay the bills; it can also be expanded or useful if you are laid off or downsized. It's a smart move for anyone, even those without financial concerns. Examples include tutoring, house sitting and window washing.
Stay Out of the Mall Like It's Your Job
If your income increases, use it to pay bills and surprise expenses rather than rewarding yourself with a shopping trip. Think of being financially caught up as its own form of reward. You only buy things to make yourself feel good, anyway. Well, being able to pay the bills feels pretty good!
Make it easier to do this by staying out of stores as much as possible. Some people find that shopping from catalogs or online stores helps them make fewer impulse buys, such that the cost of shipping is worth it.
If working at a store is your job, you must steel yourself against making purchases, especially if you have an employee discount. Consider every dollar not spent a dollar earned.
Borrow From Yourself
A third option is using a payday advance lender to help you make your payments on time. You don't need to have any credit to qualify and you can apply online. Experts at Power Finance suggest can borrow against Social Security income if you are in a financial bind.
A payday loan might seem scary, but with unexpected expenses, sometimes it becomes necessary to enlist the help of a third party so you can stay on top of your bills.
These ideas will help you manage your money and pay the bills. In a world of unexpected expenses and rising costs, staying on top of things can be challenging. Use your resources and make smart decisions to pay the bills.

Development finance arrives in Rundu
WINDHOEK - Development Bank of Namibia (DBN) Head of Marketing and Corporate Communication, Jerome Mutumba, has confirmed that the Bank now has a permanent office in Rundu as of last week Friday.
Talking about the need for an office in Rundu, Mutumba said that the Bank recognises that its development impact is enhanced by physical presence. The Bank, he says, is in the process of rolling out offices in various parts of Namibia, in a manner calculated to reach the widest possible spread of regions and the largest segments of the private and public sectors.
In addition to its Windhoek head office, the Bank also has offices in Walvis Bay and Ongwediva.
Rundu, Mutumba continues, has a large population of more than 85 000 with a robust entrepreneurial culture, a high concentration of villages surrounding it which will benefit from development, as well as providing access to the broader populations of Kavango East and West and Zambezi.
Commenting on the expectation of finance in the north-east, Mutumba says, the Bank expects interest in SME finance in particular. Rundu, he says, has an organised culture of entrepreneurship present in its markets, and the Bank believes that these are ready to graduate to formal SME status.
Of existing SMEs, Mutumba points to a thriving retail and light industrial environment which can be further nurtured with finance. He says the Bank expects that its finance for retail and commercial property will be in demand.
On the topic of finance for local authorities, Mutumba says there is ongoing activity in the field of housing provision, however this must be complemented with provision of affordable land. The population of the area is spread along the east-west axis of the Kavango, and stimulus for development of affordable land and associated housing projects will lead to the spread of enterprise. In this regard, he says the Bank is open for applications for finance in unproclaimed areas, with the proviso that project promoters provide guarantees, or that collateral in the form of fixed property be held outside of unproclaimed areas.
Mutumba goes on to say that the rapid population growth, and associated growth in private sector enterprises, creates the need for local authority infrastructure such as roads, sewage and water. He adds that the Bank can also provide finance for establishment of municipal services, and can finance contractors who have received tenders or contracts.
Additional sectors with strong development potential identified by Mutumba are tourism and agricultural processing and industry.
Tourism enterprise development, particularly in and around Rundu, will bolster Namibia's ability to offer a route into the Kavango Regions and Zambezi. By upgrading and adding new hospitality and accommodation facilities, Namibia can better market Rundu � and potentially Nkurenkuru, capital of Kavango West � not only with more hospitality and accommodation, but also with a break in the long distance between Etosha and Katima Mulilo. This, Mutumba says, improves potential for road-based tourism.
Agricultural processing and industry, Mutumba says, is one of the Bank's emerging focuses. Adding value to agriculture makes the sector more sustainable, with benefits for those who use and remain on the land. This will not only alleviate urban migration, but will also provide incomes for youth and women, with potential graduation to the status of young entrepreneurs and women entrepreneurs. The desired overall impact is also food security. The fertility of the area along the Kavango holds strong development potential for the broader national economy, and should be the beneficiary of development finance.

On February 24th HDB hosted the Cost of Poverty Experience for over 40 local Delray Beach leaders with the help of Palm Beach County Community Services Department and 18 volunteers. The attendees spent the morning immersed in the exercise with the goal to experience what poverty is like and what that means in Delray Beach.
What is the Cost of Poverty Experience?
The Cost of Poverty Experience (C.O.P.E.) is an exercise meant for individuals and leaders who may have never experienced poverty to understand what it can mean for a family. Attendees were divided into mock family groups and were asked to live out the scenarios and life experiences provided to them.
The simulation is split into 4 weeks, each represented by 15 minutes. Within each week participants have a list of tasks to complete, such as going to work or school, cashing checks, filling prescriptions, going grocery shopping, paying bills, appearing for court, going to the probation office, and more. With these tasks come needs – a need for cash, a need for child care, a need for support. Family's profiles also featured challenges such as a child with a mental health concern, a parent with a felony conviction, a child with special needs, an adult with PTSD, and many other real issues that people in poverty deal with every day.
The Impact of C.O.P.E.
As the weeks wore on people became increasingly desperate to complete their assigned tasks in the allotted time. It was then that my own volunteer role, the criminal, became more interesting.
In the beginning of the mock weeks I was, admittedly, relatively unsuccessful in selling my illegal walking passes or intercepting desperate families at the pawn shop to buy their possessions at a less valued (but faster) price. However, as weeks wore on, not only did people become easier to persuade into illegal activity, such as purchasing fake prescriptions or unmarked walking passes, they actually began approaching me. Family members came to me to sell their unwanted prescriptions, offering to sell some walking passes for me at a split profit – someone even offered to buy my gun off me.
While this turn of events felt comical at times – seeing board members and CEOs turn to a life of crime in a matter of a half an hour, it also highlighted a very real fact. Oftentimes a life of crime can be more lucrative and sometimes easier than navigating the number of confusing services that are offered to people in poverty.
At the end of C.O.P.E. I ended up with over $1,400 in stolen goods, not counting the money I had pilfered in half baked deals with vulnerable families. Meanwhile, there were families that didn't have $300 to buy back their stolen identity cards, or make bail.
Society is quick to chastise and turn their back on people in poverty who take part in illegal activity or have been convicted of a felony, but don't consider the circumstances that lead them there. Few stop to consider that the person may not be the problem – the system is.

Ripple price declined below the key $0.3155 support level against the US Dollar. XRP could continue to move down and it is likely to retest the $0.3000 support before attempting a recovery.
Ripple Price Analysis
In the past few sessions, there was an increase in selling on bitcoin, Ethereum, bitcoin cash, eos and ripple against the US Dollar. The XRP/USD pair failed to trade above the $0.3400 resistance and declined recently below $0.3250. The pair gained bearish momentum and settled below $0.3200 plus the 55 simple moving average (4-hours). The recent decline was strong as the price cleared a crucial support area near the $0.3155 level. Besides, there was a break below the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $0.3049 low to $0.3316 high.
Finally, there was a break below a major contracting triangle with support at $0.3155 on the 4-hours chart of the XRP/USD pair. The pair is now trading below $0.3120 and the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $0.3049 low to $0.3316 high. Therefore, there is a risk of more losses towards the last swing low at $0.3049. However, the main support is near the 0.3000 level.
In an ideal case, the price could test the 1.236 Fib extension level of the last wave from the $0.3049 low to $0.3316 high at $0.2986. On the other hand, if there is an upside correction, the price could face sellers near $0.3140 and $0.3155. The key barrier for buyers is near $0.3220 and the 55 simple moving average (4-hours).
Looking at the chart, ripple price is slowly moving towards the $0.3000 support area, where buyers are likely to emerge. If XRP fails to stay above $0.3000 or $0.2980, there is a risk of more losses towards the $0.2880 support area. On the other hand, a successful close above $0.3155 and $0.3220 could open the doors for a fresh increase in the coming days.
Technical indicators
4 hours MACD – The MACD for XRP/USD is placed heavily in the bearish zone, with a negative bias.
4 hours RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for XRP/USD dipped sharply below the 40 level and it could test 30.
Key Support Levels – $0.3045, $0.3000 and $0.2980.
Key Resistance Levels – $0.3155 and $0.3220.

Annual Church Camp
March 2, 2018
"Life – Put on Love !"
Over 300 brothers and sisters from Hong Kong and overseas gathered together for our Annual Camp to experience what it means by putting on love in our lives.
The camp started with some exciting ice-breaking games. Everyone got to know and bless brothers and sisters from other groups, and we were quickly warmed up.
After dinner and a passionate worship session, Pastor Gavin introduced us to the series of sermons on Colossians 3:12-17, which says "… as the elect of God, holy and beloved… put on love…". In Christ, our identity is that we are elected, set apart as holy, and dearly loved by God. When we understand this new identity and feel loved, accepted and sufficient, we can naturally put on love in our lives. In the first lesson, we looked at how God "Elected" us to be object of His love since creation. Although man chose to stray away from God, He devised a redemption plan to bring hope into our lives, and even paid the ransom for our sins. No matter who we are, once we choose to wholly follow Christ, we are also chosen by Him as ambassadors of His love to bring blessing to this world. Praise the Lord for His unbiased election !
The next morning, after some joyful worship time, Pastor Gavin gave the second lesson and we looked at how God made us "Holy". As God sees us as precious treasures, He set us apart from this world to be uncommon. Once we recognise that we are uncommon, we can live differently and will not be affected by worldly values. We are truly special because God's presence is with us wherever we go and He has given us His holiness through the Spirit. He also gave us a way to be transformed from within and receive "practical holiness" through His Word. When we dwell in His truth and delight in Him, we can be sanctified by His truth and reflect His holiness and shine for His glory in this world. Praise God !
After lunch, it was Hope Fun time! This year, the theme was "Smile, Care, Love – Hope Fun!". We were split up in teams to play many traditional childhood games like "Eagle and Chicks" and "What's the time, Mr. Wolf?". While we were thoroughly enjoying ourselves, brothers and sisters were asked to demonstrate "Smile", "Care" and "Love" to one another. The outdoor field was filled with joy and excitement as everyone shouted and laughed like little children. Praise the Lord for the wonderful fun time together as a family!
We then had some free time to spend in fellowship with one another. Some brothers played basketball, some groups gathered to play board games together, some went to have a walk together in the beautiful afternoon. Praise God that we have one another in our lives.
In the evening, we had a touching worship session when brothers and sisters simply came before God, lifted up His nameand sang of His love.The Spirit touched each of our hearts. Pastor Gavin then gave the third lesson on how we are God's "Beloved". We are all accepted by God in Jesus because of what Jesus has done for us. God sees each one of us as He sees Jesus – His beloved son. In His love, we are more than adequate. We can hold on to this unshakeable truth and trust Him in all circumstances. When our lives are compelled and driven by God's love, we can bear witness for Him so that people will see His love through us.
At the altar call, Pastor Gavin encouraged us to go around to show love to each other as prompted by the Spirit. As brothers and sisters hugged each other, the love among us touched and healed many of our hearts.
On the third day, it was our Mission Sunday service. Praise God that He opened the way to make the main hall of the campsite available so that the whole church can be gathered together in one place to worship Him in unity. After worship, Pastor Gavin gave the final teaching and explained the true meaning of "Put on Love". The focus is on how much we are loved by God, as His love is the bond of perfection. When we put on His love, we are complete, and when we feel complete, we need not struggle to fight for ourselves. To put on love for others, we simply have to let the peace of God rule in our hearts, let the word of Christ dwell in us, and do everything in the name of Jesus with an attitude of thanksgiving. Praise God because we are sufficient and abundant in Him !
Brothers and sisters then responded to His love by giving our mission pledge cheerfully with hearts full of thanksgiving.
After lunch, we took a huge group photo as a beloved church. Then, we split up into care groups to enjoy fellowship and deeper sharing time with each other before leaving the campsite.
Praise the Lord for binding us together in His perfect love !
Let us continue to put on His love in our lives !

Pokemon Detective Pikachu Collection
Getting the best outfits is very tough, considering there are thousands of online stores that sell the same stuff. Here on Movies Jacket, you can come and verify freely about the products and the policies. With everything crystal clear, our customers even demand as well as request us to make certain outfits that no other website would. That is where you can see that we always follow the guidance and advises of our customers. If you think you are doubtful about the outfits here, let us prove to you that we provide the best, courtesy of the Pokemon Detective Pikachu Shop. It has each and every outfit that you would find as a prototype in other clothing stores or art platforms. From hoodies, to leather jackets, to t-shirts from the movie, we got all of them under one roof. It does become a hard category to find but once you are here, you would find it hard to leave. How a fan dresses up in their favorite's merchandises really says a lot about their loyalty and sense of compromise to look the best. Luckily, for any fan, boy or girl, there would not be a time where you have to compromise. It is the era for the new generation to be introduced to one of the most resilient and consistent franchises in the world. Pokémon was a big part of everyone's lives as it stuck with us every step of the way with their movies. Pokémon Detective Pikachu will be another feather in the hat when it releases because of its super awesome and witty trailer. We think we are all ready to see the smartest Pikachu we have ever seen. He and his friends will help each other to establish a connection with the viewers that has been maintained since the 90's.

Importance of Transparency in PMO Decision-Making
Decision is a crucial element of every project as it impacts the project direction and outcome. Bad decisions are results of inadequate knowledge, biased and overoptimistic approach. Therefore, having a clear and transparent process for making project decisions is crucial.
In this article at PM Majik, the author shares how the PMO can have a clear and transparent process for making, recording, and communicating project decisions.
Accessing Right Approach
Every project, be it big budget or small, needs several decisions within a certain timeframe. Some decisions work in favor of the project while some backfire. The author suggests five reasons to bring transparency in the process of decision-making:
- Reference Point: It is important to have clarity in the decision-making process while communicating it with a single point of reference that works for all. Instead of debating the same old points, the project managers must ensure that the decision-related information is shared among all. After that, hold a meeting to communicate the decisions on the project progress. This will help in enhancing focus and attention. Likewise, orientation helps in providing appropriate context and helps in making the right move.
- Pacing Progress: To induce a workable decision, there are many junctions where diverse paths can be taken. In most of the cases, progress becomes slow if the process of decision-making takes a longer time.
- Stakeholders: Bringing all the senior managers on the same page is one of the toughest tasks for the project managers. Often, they gain consent over a decision from one, but the other senior manager disagrees to it. Such situations can be a 'red' flag as this decision will need amendment even after making significant progress in it. To avoid such circumstances, hold a meeting to bring transparency in the decision-making process with all the stakeholders and draw a conclusion on the final decision.
- Exhibit Control: Good governance is the key to a progressive decision that demonstrates control in project progress. Governance papers and decision logs are essential objects required at the beginning of the project audit. Providing these objects will show that the project is in good governance and control.
- Avert Mistakes: Engage all stakeholders in the process of decision-making to mitigate the risk of uninformed decision based on incorrect data. It will also improve chances of addressing inaccuracies while reducing risks.
