Good evening! So how was your day? Mine was pretty good. This Bible Study made it even better. I have to tell you that what you read tonight is just of what we discussed regarding the chapters. There were many times that we were off topic but to try and type and explain it would be quite confusing. Many times we talked about this past Sunday's Morning service. Discussing a certain praise song that continues over and over with "nananana's". The song being called "Every Move I make". We also discussed the song "I have a Friend in God". Both of these songs, if you would like to listen to them, can be found on YouTube, in fact, here are some links:

Psalm 48
This chapter centers around Mount Zion in which glory derives from. Mount Zion is God's place and is available for those to dwell in with God. Verses 2/3 talk about the sides of the North. Some people say this is where the gods (little "g") ruled the earth from – like the Greek gods. In all actuality it is where the real God is ruling. The Psalmist is therefore showing that the gods are inferior to God. The Psalmist also describes fear that the world leaders are experiencing. This is like a sinking ship. What happens to a sinking ship?
So we praise God. We praise his character, which is his love and patience as well as he is omnipresent and immutable, he is of judgment, wrath and is jealous. This all is good stuff! He is the only God that is to be worshipped!
Daughter of Judea. This refers to the young women who led worship but also, the towns that surround Jerusalem, the center of the Jewish Nation. The joy and gladness that flows is meant for everyone not just the Jewish Nation though.
Walking around Zion refers to a ceremonial precession and that people boast Zion in leading the next generation.
The Old Testament was in hope of the eternal life and is different because now we have hope in/from Jesus. The o.t. followed the laws and sacrificed where we have grace and salvation. They saw heaven as an escape from the wrath that was put upon them; we see heaven as a place to be with God. The leaders followed the laws to the a "t" but they were not humble. To this Jesus told a story well a parable about the sinner and the religious leader at the temple. Luke 18: 9-14
Luke 18-The Religious
Leader and the Tax Collector Luke 18:9-14
Based on NLT
Luke 18:9-12
Then Jesus told this story to some who
had great confidence in their own
Righteousness*/blamelessness before
God and scorned everyone else: "Two
men went to the place of worship* to
pray. One was a religious leader*, and
the other was a despised tax collector.
The religious leader stood by himself
and prayed this prayer: 'I thank you,
God, that I am not a sinner* like
everyone else…I don't cheat, I don't sin,
and I don't commit adultery. I'm
certainly not like that tax collector!
fast twice a week, and I give you a tenth
of my income.'
Luke 18:13-14
"But the tax collector stood at a distance
and dared not even lift his eyes to
heaven as he prayed. Instead, he beat his
chest in sorrow, saying, 'O God, be
merciful to me, because I am a sinner.' I
tell you, this sinner, not the religious
leader, returned home
justified/blameless before God—because
those who exalt themselves will be
humbled, and those who humble
themselves will be exalted."
We are saved by Faith.
Romans 3 What advantage then has the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision? 2 Much in every way! Chiefly because to them were committed the oracles of God. 3 For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect? 4 Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar. As it is written:
"That You may be justified in Your words,
And may overcome when You are judged."[a]
5 But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust who inflicts wrath? (I speak as a man.) 6 Certainly not! For then how will God judge the world?
7 For if the truth of God has increased through my lie to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner? 8 And why not say, "Let us do evil that good may come"?—as we are slanderously reported and as some affirm that we say. Their condemnation is just.
All Have Sinned
9 What then? Are we better than they? Not at all. For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin.
10 As it is written:
"There is none righteous, no, not one;
11 There is none who understands;
There is none who seeks after God.
12 They have all turned aside;
They have together become unprofitable;
There is none who does good, no, not one."[b]
13 "Their throat is an open tomb;
With their tongues they have practiced deceit"; [c]
"The poison of asps is under their lips"; [d]
14 "Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness."[e]
15 "Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways;
17 And the way of peace they have not known."[f]
18 "There is no fear of God before their eyes."[g]
19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
God's Righteousness Through Faith
21 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law andthe Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all[h] who believe. For there is no difference; 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, 26 to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
Boasting Excluded
27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith.28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law. 29 Or is Hethe God of the Jews only? Is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also, 30 sincethere is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith. 31 Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law.
Romans 3:12 Psalms 14:1–3; 53:1–3; Ecclesiastes 7:20
Romans 3:22 NU-Text omits and on all.
Chapter 49
This psalm is of wisdom that deals with the problem of hot to regard earthly wealth. See what salvation is about. Here on earth compare to what we have here on the inside. You cannot earn or buy salvation it is a gift that God gives. The psalm is set to be of poetry and could be a song to sing. This kind of psalm, song, should and would have been memorized. Almost all poetry was turned into different songs and were very important. If you think about it you remember more songs than you do speeches.
Verses ¾ these 2 verses are almost the same but a little different at the same time. This is again emphasizing the importance of what is being said.
Verse 7 no one can save someone else. We can't pray people to heaven they have to accept Jesus as their personal savior.
Verse 11 – wise and foolish, dead but the house is forever. They think things will last forever but we know that this is an affirmation that death is certain. Everyone will die, unless Jesus comes back to take us first. Compare eternal life against eternal damnation. What are you afraid think it will be times a million. If you choose to reject Jesus as your Lord Christ Savior you will see heaven but you will not be able to go. No one can spend enough money to buy heaven; there is no ransom big enough to buy eternal life. The difference between humans and animals is that humans have a choice and have an eternal soul. Once your body dies you will either stay in heaven or stay in hell – there's no line jumping and you cannot pray someone in one place or the other. Some people believe in purgatory but it is NOT real or true.
So there is a paradise which is under the throne of God then they, we, go to heaven. Jesus is everywhere and people are crying out from the throne of God.
Some people refer to near death experience as a depersonalize experience which is out of the body looking in or down at one's self. So there's that.
Verse 15 is talking about God redeeming which gives us a strong affirmation of faith, that we will be blessed to be with God/Jesus.
Without Jesus how can we have hope? We don't/we can't. With Jesus we will be snatched and saved.
If people are influential because of their standing or money but they don't have Jesus if doesn't mean a thing.
Verses 16-19 people try to influence their way to heaven will not make it. Don't be envious of those people but instead love them more. Riches here do not mean anything.
In the Old Testament they looked to Jesus and what he would do. Now we (and the New Testament) look at what Jesus did. When Jesus returns all will be revealed to the Old Testament peoples, the New Testament peoples, and us!
The light here refers to "a part of God". Jesus was and is called the light of the world. Darkness cannot be here in the light and sin cannot hide. That is also saying that if you have riches don't fear but stay humble and love.
Do not bless yourself but bless others.

Moral paralysis in American academia
On 'civilised' scholars and their liberal defence of immoral hate mongering.
Late in September, the admin of an academic list-serve sent a message to the list in which he requested a pdf copy of a recently published scholarly paper he identified as: "The Case for Colonialism" by Bruce Gilley (Third World Quarterly, September 2017). Soon a couple of list members obliged and sent the admin and everyone else on that list two separate PDF copies of this article.
As soon as the PDF was circulated signs of trouble emerged: "I needed to breathe deeply several times while reading this," one list-serve member said, "It's VERY disturbing".
Keep readinglist of 4 items
Trudeau apologises after Nazi honoured in Canada's parliament
Gymnastics Ireland 'deeply sorry' to Black girl ignored at medal ceremony
Europe frets over migration; Tunisia moves refugees to departure points
"I am disturbed by the author's call for re-colonization with the purpose of civilizing post-colonial countries," another member soon added, "and by his recipe for 'making colonialism acceptable to colonized'… I wonder how this paper could pass external peer review? Why would TWQ publish this?"
Soon the admin of the list-serve who had initiated this cycle of comments chimed in, identified the author of this essay as "a colleague of mine … and I think he is more honest and genuine than some of the Middle East Studies scholars in the West."
Bourgeois Politesse
As the list-serve members continued to respond in piecemeal, it became clear that a career opportunist professor had published an article in a leading academic journal that prides itself on being "peer-reviewed", and in which he (based on shoddy scholarship) not only unapologetically defended the colonial savagery Europeans had visited upon the Earth but, in fact, he called for its renewal in our own time.
That there is an academic careerist who has sensed which way the political wind is blowing in the US and Europe and perfectly in tune with the spirit of the age of Trumpism is seeking to cash in and jump on the already overstuffed bandwagon of racists is not surprising at all. Senior scholars like the blatantly racist, imperialist Niall Fergusson of Harvard or his colleague Samuel Huntington, or before them the top-notch Zionist propagandist Bernard Lewis and his Lebanese sidekick, the late Fouad Ajami, have all been singing the same tunes and enjoyed the full privileges of a first-class university since George W Bush's "war on terror" commenced – and in fact, long before that.
READ MORE: Germany: Confronting the colonial roots of racism
What is far more troubling than a non-entity seeking instant notoriety by going against the massively accumulated archival evidence of human suffering European colonialism has caused and scholarly arguments mapping out the planetary calamities of the white supremacists' conquest of the world is this bizarre bourgeois etiquette and liberal politesse that invariably rise obsequiously to meet such obscenities. Oh, he is our "colleague", the professoriate proffer. "Let us invite him for a 'dialogue'," they generously gesture. We need to respect freedom of expression – ad nauseam.
What are the limits of liberal 'tolerance'? At what point will noble anger, utter disgust, principled indignation, and moral outrage overcome this banal bourgeois gentility?
To be sure, there were enough courageous, principled, informed, and emphatic people on this list and beyond who came forward and mopped the floor with this opportunist charlatan. But they did so by defying the bleeding-heart liberals of the inane mantra, "Oh, I disagree with you but will give my life to defend your right to say it" persuasion.
Psychopathology of dissent
What are the limits of liberal "tolerance"? At what point will noble anger, utter disgust, principled indignation, and moral outrage overcome this banal bourgeois gentility?
We justly and correctly have ostracised Holocaust deniers. The slaughter of six million Jews and the suffering of the survivors of the Holocaust are not matters of "scholarly debate." But in the US, if you write defending the genocidal legacy of colonialism, you get yourself published in a "peer-reviewed" journal, even move up to become full professors at an Ivy League university, and a band of your peers get together politely to discuss and debate your ignorant stupidities with courteous and gentle demeanours.
Since this debacle, most of the editorial board of the journal have resigned, its chief editor was scandalised for having lied that he had run the article through peer review, and even the author has retracted his own article and asked for it to be removed from the journal. But all of this spectacle has, in fact, increased the public cachet of the author and his article. Those who have objected to this obscenity can now be charged with intolerance and "political correctness". For all we know, Donald Trump might soon invite this professor and appoint him as his next education secretary.
I recall a few years ago, when I had just made it to a blacklist of "dangerous professors" that a notorious Zionist propagandist had compiled and published in a book (I have made it to all such lists designed to frighten and silence me and as you see they have had exactly the opposite effect), a "psychologist" had managed to put all our email addresses together and sent us a collective message in which he said he wanted to study us and examine our psychological profiles in relation to our "radical ideas". Would we kindly respond to a questionnaire he was preparing for this purpose?
OPINION: Europe's contribution to Israeli colonialism
Before I had even digested the absurdity of the very idea of psychopathologising political dissent, suddenly I saw members of that list began writing back politely to this person and asking for more details about his study. What was striking was how not a single person on that mailing list was outraged by the very notion of being "studied" for psychopathological traits presumably explaining our "radical ideas." They were all politely discussing the details of the proposed study. The term "gulag" evidently meant nothing to them. It is obscene to be tolerant of obscene ideas.
The case in point is how the prominent American public intellectual professor, Noam Chomsky, who, too, was on the editorial board of this academic journal, has as usual refused to denounce Bruce Gilley, offering his habitual bourgeois hogwash that the professor has the right to say what he said and that he too publishes things that offend people.
This, of course, is highbrow gibberish – shifting the issue to the domain of censorship and freedom of speech, where an entire transcontinental history of European and American colonial savagery, loudly defended by Gilly, is to be dismissed and, in fact, celebrated and the descendants of those pernicious cycles of barbarism better shut up and be quiet lest their protest might offend Professor Chomsky's bleeding-heart liberal defence of "free speech".
But being "offended" by what this careerist charlatan has said is not the issue. I, for one, am not offended by what Bruce Gilley, Niall Fergusson, or Bernard Lewis have said, nor am I surprised. Both Bruce Gilley's barefaced defence of the criminal terrors of colonialism and Chomsky's defence of the right to publish such a defence of murderous terror are definitive to the moral depravity of European, and now American, imperial arrogance that has both robbed and terrorised the world and then sought to preside over its moral universe.
It is like Israeli colonial officers who invade and colonise Palestine, murder Palestinians, and then retire to make films about how their military services had psychologically traumatised them, send those films to European film festivals and get top prizes for them!
Crimes against Humanity
What this liberal defence of immoral hatemongering tops and completes is the systemic mendacity of European colonialism, and now American imperialism, having their cake and eating it, too.
First come their settler colonialists – their warlord imperialists, their slave traders and their rapists and thieves, riding on their warships, fighter jets, and oil tankers – and then come their priests to convert us to their Christianity and teach us how to turn the other cheek, and then come their historians, sociologists, anthropologists, and political scientists studying us and telling us how we deserved to be colonised, and then come their "public intellectuals" admonishing their elected leaders for doing so and feeling so good about their "radicalism", and then come their bleeding-heart liberals, their sagacious, open-minded preachers of tolerance for different opinions who tell us how they are willing to pay with their lives defending the right of the "free speech" of those defending the cause of those murderous creatures who came and slaughtered your parents, raped your mothers and sisters, and burned your children alive, and then ran away with your natural resources.
OPINION: How British colonialism ruined a perfect cup of tea
This is a setup, made to make you look like a barbarian if you as much as uttered a word in protest. It is the systemic totality and the closed-circuited mendacity of the diabolic truth of colonialism that begins with the brutish settler colonialists and their fighter jets and concludes with kind and considered, open-minded and tolerant, priestly caste of liberal and polite professors.
No! Absolutely not! Certain historical calamities are no longer subjects for "scholarly" debate and differences of opinion. The genocide of Native Americans by European settler colonialists, the savage history of African slavery by the selfsame European settlers and their descendants, the criminal enormity of dropping the atom bomb on innocent Japanese, the Jewish Holocaust, the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by the settler colonialist Zionists … and the monumentally murderous history of European colonialism around the globe. These are no longer up for scholastic debates. These are the monuments of moral shame.
Any Johnny-come-lately career opportunist charlatan who wishes to cash in on the rising Trumpian obscenity must be treated with utter disgust, with unsurpassed revulsion. He must be ostracised, publicly shamed and humiliated, and never ever called "a colleague" who should be politely invited for a "civilised debate". Against that "civilised" gathering of morally compromised scholars, I will proudly form a band of barbarian dissidents.

Hi everyone!
Chapter Three of Lost Then Found has been posted to Wattpad!
Click HERE to read it.
And click HERE to read last month's chapter, Chapter Two.
Here's the Chapter Song:
Skinny dip in rabbit holes for fun
Popping, popping balloons with guns, getting high off helium
We paint white roses red,
Each shade from a different person's head
This dream, dream is a killer
Getting drunk with a blue caterpillar
'Cause I really hate being safe
The normals, they make me afraid
The crazies, they make me feel sane
The craziest friend that you've ever had
You think I'm psycho, you think I'm gone
Tell the psychiatrist something is wrong
Over the bend, entirely bonkers
You like me best when I'm off my rocker
Tell you a secret, I'm not alarmed
So what if I'm crazy? The best people are
All the best people are crazy, all the best people are
Mostly I picked this song because SOMEONE does some crazy shit at the end of Chapter Three and I imagine Alex is thinking something along the lines of "Is this chick nuts?"
To which I'm sure she would say, "Uh, yeah, kinda."
The chapter preview for Chapter Four will be posted in two weeks, right here and also on my Facebook page which can be found HERE.
Chapter Four will be posted in April 2016. No that does not mean April 1st, 2016 at exactly 12:00AM. It's a SUPER FUCKING LONG chapter and a LOT OF AWESOME STUFF HAPPENS and I'm REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT IF YOU COULDN'T TELL BY MY USE OF CAPS.
Anyway, thanks again to everyone for reading and for voting and commenting!
Also thanks to my lovely betas, Res and Andrea, who are super fucking helpful and my writing would be a shit show without them.
See you in two weeks!

Area #20 - WASHOE VALLEY
WHAT TO EXPECT: Washoe Valley is located between Reno and Carson City. The area is characterized by a diversity of habitats. It includes Scripps Wildlife Management Area and two shallow lakes, Little Washoe Lake to the north and the much larger Washoe Lake to the south, as well as extensive marshes during wet years. Washoe Lake State Park lies along the eastern and southern edges of Washoe Lake. Tree-lined Franktown Road along the west side of the valley passes farms and ponds at the foot of the Carson Range. Davis Creek Regional Park offers access to forested slopes on the northwest side of Washoe Valley. East Lake Boulevard (sometimes spelled Eastlake) on the east side of the valley passes through sagebrush and bitterbrush slopes of the lower, unforested Virginia Range. Washoe Valley is a Nevada Important Bird Area.
BEST TIME OF YEAR: Year-round, with raptors and waterfowl particularly good October through March.
NOTABLE SPECIES: Raptors include Golden Eagle and Red-tailed Hawk year-round and Bald Eagle and Rough-legged Hawk in winter. Tundra Swan may be seen in winter and American White Pelican in spring and fall. Sooty Grouse, White-headed Woodpecker, and Calliope Hummingbird are specialties of the mountains and foothills. The valley offers habitat for shorebirds, waterfowl, and rails. (See the Popular Birding Route.)
PRECAUTIONS: Parking on the shoulders of US 395 along Route Segment #1 is extremely hazardous. This is a heavily traveled four-lane divided highway with speeds in excess of 70 mph.
HOW TO GET THERE: From the I-80 & US 395 interchange, drive south on US 395 approximately 19 miles through the town of Washoe City to the point where US 395 becomes a divided highway. From this point, there are three route segments to bird the valley, described sequentially below: (1) off US 395 along the west edge of the Washoe Lake and marsh system (waterfowl, shorebirds, and raptors); (2) Franktown Road via SR 429/Old Hwy 395 along the foothills of the Carson Range on the west side (forest birds); and (3) East Lake Boulevard along the eastern side of the lake and marsh system (riparian and marsh birds and sage dwellers).
Route Segment 1: (Note precautions above.) Travel south on US 395 4.0 miles to Exit 44 Bellevue Road. Cross over US 395 to the edge of Washoe Lake to view waterfowl, shorebirds, gulls, and three species of blackbirds. Backtrack over US 395. Take Whitman Street, the first street to the right (north) and continue approximately 0.2 mile to a dead end. Bird the ponds to the left and right and the Big Canyon Creek delta and marsh straight ahead. (Note: This is a short-radius turnaround.) Backtrack to US 395 and continue south 2.3 miles to Exit 42 East Lake Boulevard.
Route Segment 2: At Exit 42 East Lake Boulevard, turn right (west) at the stop sign and right again (north) onto SR 429/Old Hwy 395. At 1.5 miles turn left onto Franktown Road/SR 877, which skirts the edge of the Carson Range. Pine trees, shrubs, fields, and streams may yield, in addition to species mentioned in segment 1, woodpeckers, jays, nuthatches, and other montane forest species. At about 4.2 miles, Franktown Road rejoins SR 429/Old Hwy 395. Turn left (north) and continue about 2.5 miles to the entrance to Davis Creek Regional Park on the left.
After entering Davis Creek Regional Park go left to the Day Use Area (restrooms). Follow the signs to the Lake View Group Picnic Area. Bird the Jeffrey pines, shrubs, and pond for mountain birds, including woodpeckers, sapsuckers, nuthatches, Western Tanagers, and various swallows and warblers. (Side Trip A) Backtrack toward the park entrance and park to the left in the Campground Visitor Parking, just outside of the Day Use gates. Enter the campgrounds on foot. At the top of the main camp road loop, in the northwest corner of the campgrounds, the thick willows around an intermittent creek form a traditional nesting site for Calliope Hummingbird. Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Bushtit, Mountain Chickadee, and various warblers frequent the willows and surrounding bitterbrush. Return to SR 429.
Route Segment 3: At the exit from Davis Creek Regional Park, turn left (north) onto SR 429/Old Hwy 395 and again onto US 395 northbound. Proceed north 2.5 miles to turn right onto East Lake Boulevard; travel 2.0 miles south to Lakeshore Drive and turn right (south). Continue 1.7 miles to a right-turn dirt road into the Washoe Lake State Park boat ramp area (day use fee and restrooms), productive in winter and spring for waterfowl, gulls, terns, Wilson's and the occasional Red-necked Phalarope, and swallows. A few hundred yards east of the park ranger station is a northbound road into the Scripps Wildlife Management Area, closed during breeding season February 1 to June 30. Check ponds for shorebirds, waterfowl, nesting Marsh Wren, Virginia Rail, and calling Sora. A Great Blue Heron, Black-crowned Night-Heron, and Snowy Egret rookery is situated about one-half mile north (may be flooded).
Return east to Lakeshore Drive. Turn left (north) and drive 0.7 mile to Esmeralda Drive. Turn right (east) and go 1 mile to East Lake Boulevard. Turn right (south). Jumbo Grade 0.5 mile south of Esmeralda on the left may yield Pinyon Jay and Juniper Titmouse. From Jumbo Grade, continue south 3.1 miles to Washoe Lake State Park (day use fee and restrooms). The park is frequently crowded on weekends. A bird list is available. East of the sand dunes on the east shore of the lake, sage scrub species may nest. Bank Swallows nest in the blowouts between the dunes. Check the willows along the lake's edge in the Day Use area for migrating and nesting songbirds.
Returning to East Lake Boulevard, turn right. Just beyond the park entrance at 0.3 mile on the left a large cottonwood marks the entrance to Deadman's Creek Trail. (Side Trip B) Travel an additional 1.4 miles to the observation platform on the right overlooking the Washoe Lake Wetland. Continue right (west) on East Lake Boulevard to return to US 395. Long-billed Curlews sometimes feed in the ranch pastures to the right.
Side Trip A Ophir Creek Trail: In Davis Creek Regional Park, the 6-mile Ophir Creek Trail begins near the restrooms and interpretive signs in the Lake View Group Picnic Area. This is a strenuous hike with a 4,000-foot ascent. The lower portion of this trail is montane scrub, which changes to Jeffrey pine as it climbs. American Dipper occur along the creek in the summer, especially east of Price Lake, about 4 miles up the trail. Sooty Grouse boom near Price Lake in the late spring and early summer. For the upper end of this trail, see Area #17 - Tahoe Meadows and Upper Ophir Creek, Side Trip A
.Side Trip B Deadman's Creek Trail: This is a one-mile trail uphill from East Lake Boulevard. This spring-fed riparian area provides habitat for a variety of migrating warblers as well as nesting species such as Long-eared and Great Horned Owls, Cooper's Hawk, Black-billed Magpie, Lazuli Bunting, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Bewick's and House Wrens, Bushtit, Brewer's Sparrow, and Spotted Towhee.

Press review for I Shot My Love
Aviva Berlin - Online Magazine
I shot my love - A film by Tomer Heymann
By Nadja Grintzewitsch
This sensitive documentation of a German-Israeli love of men affected by authenticity and detail, and not least a tribute to director Tomer Heymann on his ... Extraordinary mother.
The story itself is quite simple: homosexual director who is up for the premiere of his new film in the German capital, dancers meet in a popular Berlin nightclub.They fall in love, the dancer follows the filmmaker to Israel, where he met his mother. After some initial difficulties, the couple finally pulls together to Tel Aviv.
This woman that work would shine but not nearly do justice. It is not the story that captivates, but rather their unique implementation. The pictures are from the beginning to the end real, not fictitious story, the performers beautifully unaffected, since they themselves embodied. Influenced by his father, the family life with our own 8mm camera has recorded its seven-member, director Tomer Heymann holds obsessively all set in its environment. It seems not a moment goes by where he does not see the world through the viewfinder. These films made the documentary "I shot my love", on 13 February 2010 at the Berlin Film Festival celebrated its world premiere.
An encounter that changed the life
Flashback. In order to present his new film "Paper Dolls", a documentary about Filipino transvestites, visited Tomer Heymann and his mother Noa, the movie capital. 70 years earlier, were his grandparents, the parents of Noah, who emigrated from Nazi Germany to Palestine. After the performance speaks Heymann a few words and gets his mother to the stage. Noa is mid-60s, a little plump, with a chic short haircut and fashionable glasses. Woman is immediately under the spell of ursympathischen bundle of energy, the question of whether their son for still living with her, in broken German said cheerfully: "No, he's already a great man," (laughter), "he lives in Tel Aviv and does what he wants, not what I want."
After the premiere party can Tomer his mother in the hotel and is on its way to the electric sounds in Bergheim Panorama Bar, where he met a young dancer with the police full name Andreas Josef Merk. Like the first meeting goes is unclear. The next scene is already in an apartment or a hotel room, Andrew is a blond, slim, handsome young man with a penchant for singing songs Bertold Brecht in the shower. They communicate in English. The question of whether he was proud to be a German, Andreas answered with a shrug. It would make him at least not a better person. The soundtrack, this first interaction of soft piano tones, Heymann is in the shot, makes close-ups of Andrea's lips. When they meet again is uncertain.
An unusual love triangle
Back in Tel Aviv. The relationship between mother and son is almost disturbingly open. The homosexuality of the son is not a taboo, of course, is completely Noa Heyman love life involved in, may express their opinion. Andreas remains subject. Whether they have a problem with the fact that he was German? Noa's simple answer: "Not all Germans are Nazis nice. And not all Jews." Andreas in Tel Aviv. The next scenes are harmonious, a motley compilation of joint excursions and activities. Herumgealber on the beach, at the Wailing Wall between Orthodox Jews, holding hands through the city. We can only see the blond German films before the camera, Heymann, all in the role of the director. Finally, a scene in the native cuisine, Andreas pancakes before turning the stove. "I saw in a movie when I was little, and then it was always my goal to be able to [...] and to a certain point in my life, I said to myself it easy. Do not hesitate And you may distribute, you know young? If you hesitate, he falls Germans down. "It almost sounds from life motto. He also has not hesitated to follow his lover in a foreign country.
Homage to the mother
And alternating with Noa Heymann. Gradually we learn that the resolute woman had only one man in her life, she moved to the big five sons. After 33 years of marriage they divorced last. Scenes from old footage, recordings of his father. We see family life, Tomer and his brothers playing table tennis, Passover celebrations, a younger Noa Heyman with gray hair yet. Finally, farewell. Three of her sons move to America, one travels from now through the world. At the four wall hanging clock with four different times, Colorado, Texas, Israel. Noa Oregon and Tomer are left alone. Perhaps that explains the intimate relationship between the mother and her director son. Andreas speaks German Noa. They seem to get along with each other. Unforgettable is the scene where her mark of 65 he Birthday of the "Memory of Marie A." sung by Bertold Brecht. A new relationship is for Noa Heyman out of the question that is not a way out of loneliness. ("Why should I now do the old man have one?") Even as she for a serious leg operation in the hospital, is her humor as ever. She joked with the Russian nurses, he wants the Hebrew word for "butt" teach. "At this point we need background music," she exclaims, laughing son to her, go as the men of the ambulance through the hospital corridors. Tomer for her does not differ from the side, also documented their first steps. Noa is crying in pain not once only when she, again at home, gets visited by one of her sons - and he departs after some time. It will tear up an almost heart.
Irreconcilable differences?
Andreas dominated the first Hebrew words, but still communicates with his Israeli lover in English. He gets to know by and by Tomer entire family. At Christmas he had a further meeting in the home, his parents speak with strong southern German accent. It is clear that he is indeed more and more the life-world Heymann adjust to, but the possibility has not, in his own environment in the relationship to bring something. This results in about two years until finally adhere to a conflict. For the first time expressed Noa critical of the relationship of her son. Ask him straight out if they might more on sex than is based on friendship. Points to the cultural differences and communication problems out. "" I think you know what you want - but I'm not sure if this is also true, she reminded the audience. AVIVA-Tip: An exciting, the real-life love story, while the portrait of a strong woman. A film full of unconscious poetry, natural humor and a great title song, the German version by Andreas Merk sung. The surprising twists and turns that lead ultimately to a happy end, will not be betrayed. One can only hope that "I shot my love" soon in the German distribution in cinemas and on DVD is released.

|About Covered Bridges
|Little Elk Creek
|Howe with Burr arch
|after 1898
On June 9, 1860 the Cecil Democrat published a notice to bridge builders inviting bids for construction of three bridges, one of which was Red Mill bridge. The portion pertaining to Red Mill read: "Plan for a covered bridge over the Little Elk Creek at the Red Mill on the Post Road (Rt.7) from Elkton to North East, abutments to be 20' long and 6-1/2' thick, 9' high above ordinary water level and the foundations to be not less than 5' below the bed of the creek. The wing walls to be 30' long and 30' apart at the ends and arched inward one inch to the foot. The span is 110' and the width from out to out 17' and 15' from string pieces to square, with double ribbed segments, double arch, and double string pieces." The specifications also called for, "The guard walls to be the same length as the wing walls, 3-1/2 feet high, and 20 inches thick; to have fastenings built therein for a roof to pitch outwards." (Click here to see the detailed specifications for building Red Mill Bridge.)
The Cecil County Commissioners Minutes of June 19, 1860 stated, "the bridge at Red Mill was awarded to James H. Smith for $2,850, to be of Howe Truss with a Burr arch."
Charles Lawrence and Sarah Boyle of Maryland, kept extensive notes while researching Cecil County Covered Bridges: "The original bridge over the Little Elk Creek at Red Mill on the North East Road west of Elkton was a covered wood one; the creek was also forded at that time. It was replaced by a modern concrete one. The concrete bridge was abandoned in 1941, followed by two steel and concrete ones for the new dual highway on Route 40, built in 1940-41."
Red Mill Bridge survived the flood of May 26, 1898. Although many bridges were lost in that flood, Red Mill Bridge only suffered minor damage. The Cecil Democrat reported on May 27th, "the old covered bridge at the Red Mill, somehow or other managed to stay upon its foundations." The Baltimore Sun confirmed the bridge survived the flood in an article on May27th: "For a time the flood threatened the large covered bridge at the Red Mill, but, with the exception of being slightly damaged, it stood the strain."

Coming to Concurrence:Addressable Attitudes and the New Model for Marketing Productivity
Summarized April 2005
Type: [SUMMARY]
Price: $12.50
Available Formats:
Summary Description
Nearly everyone in business today knows that there is something wrong with traditional marketing. Even as large companies chase scarce space in vaunted venues such as Super Bowl television spots and pay soaring prices for it, experts agree that it's not working.
The average consumer is targeted by an astounding 3,000 to 5,000 ads a day, in every place from public washrooms to bus stops, from shopping bags to pop-ups on their PDAs. No wonder people are doing everything they can to tune out marketing messages.
Traditionally, marketers have been taught to think in terms of "the four P's of marketing": product, place, promotion, and price. But as J. Walker Smith, Ann Clurman, and Craig Wood argue in our summary of Coming to Concurrence, a newset of tools is needed to meet today's changing market demands; in other words a new framework for rethinking the entire approach to marketing.
All three authors are experts on consumer motivation and senior executives at Yankelovich Partners, the renowned marketing consulting firm. In Coming to Concurrence, they outline such a framework.
This blueprint for tomorrow's success is based on the four cornerstones of "Concurrence Marketing," which they refer to as P&R 2: precision, relevance, power, and reciprocity.
As we'll explain, marketers who use this new approach can overcome the enormous wall of customer resistance that has arisen in the past decade, and by doing so they can realize dramatic gains in marketing performance and productivity.

text: Spreading fertiliser and lime makes economic sense. The job must be done right to achieve the best results. Aerial spraying ensures the natural terrain and vegetation is not disturbed. Studies have shown that helicopters provide the most even coverage. When you use the correct type and dose of fertiliser it is good for both the environment and your bottom line. FOREST FERTILISATION This is, without a doubt, the best investment you can make if you manage a forest. An investment of just 22 euros per day will normally yield 1.5 to 2 m3 more timber over a 10 year period. And, because larger timber dimensions yield higher prices and lower operating costs, it means your ROI (return on investment) pays out more quickly than any other forestry measure. In addition, you can rest easy knowing the process does not impact acidity levels. Without helicopters, this type of fertilisation would be impossible. Did you know forest fertilisation is a deductible expense, and may also be financed under "forestry expenditures" with corresponding tax benefits? INCREASE GROWTH Fertilisation increases tree crown fertility and stem growth. One rule of thumb suggests that the site quality is increased by about 1 class within seven to ten years of fertilisation. In practical terms this means output doubles. After the period of increased growth, normal growth pattern will return if one does not wish to continue. So you see, fertilising is never a waste of time or money! ENVIRONMENT Research has shown that forest fertilisation has few environmental consequences. PEAT BOG FERTILISATION If the established timber on a peat bog is not regularly fertilised and the drainage systems not maintained, aeration will be compromised and acidity levels will increase. If the peat bog is properly maintained the addition of fertiliser will yield significant increased growth. Compared with the cost of establishing a forest in a peat area, the cost of fertilisation is small, while the cost of NOT fertilising could be very expensive! SPRAYING IN FORESTRY Spruce is extremely vulnerable in the first stages of growth. The use of glyphosate makes it robust and gives it the advantage it needs. Spraying is also clearly more profitable than manual application in fertile soil areas. Moreover, it improves conditions for natural regeneration and provides a fertilisation effect. In order for spraying to be cost-effective, good logistics and experienced crews are required at all levels. Here at Pegasus Helicopter we have years of experience with this complex puzzle and that is your best guarantee for increased profits and results. ADDING LIME TO LAKES AND RIVERS Every year Pegasus Helicopter spreads thousands of tons of lime over Norwegian lakes and rivers. This enhances biological diversity and returns fish stocks to original levels - good news for those in the fishing industry. ADDING LIME TO PASTURES Too many grazing lands have low pH levels which cause the pastures to deteriorate significantly. If allowed to continue unmitigated, a vicious circle ensues that can be harmful to livestock. If allowed to reach levels lower than 5.5 pH no amount of additional lime will help. Therefore, it is makes economic sense to use precautionary measures and bring pH levels up, thus securing the value of grazing lands. Contact Pegasus Helicopter to learn more about how you can best solve the problem – or, even better, make sure it doesn't happen in the first place! E-mail: email@example.com Ring: 48 30 30 00

Saying that the Eagles' defensive performance against the Jets was a fun tape to go back and study may be the understatement of the season so far. Going through the stats after the game was just as fun.
The Eagles became the first team in NFL history to post a fumble recovery for a touchdown, an interception for a touchdown, and 10 sacks in the same game. The performance was one sack shy of tying a team record set by the 1991 Gang Green defense against Troy Aikman, which we actually broke down a couple of years ago over on Old School All-22. We're going to take a look at all 10 sacks in this article – with some other plays in between.
Let's start things off with Brandon Graham, who racked up a career-high three sacks against the Jets, moving into sixth all time in franchise history with 45.5 sacks.
Each of Graham's sacks came on third down with him lined up inside over the guard. He's had so much success in that role throughout his career (look at his strip-sack of Tom Brady in Super Bowl LII). After putting some good rushes on film to start the season, it was great to see him get home. It was the first time an Eagle recorded a three-sack performance since last December, when Fletcher Cox posted a hat trick against Washington in the regular-season finale.
Let's not forget the play Graham made on the first quarter fourth-and-1 play that resulted in linebacker Nathan Gerry's pick-six. Yes, it's a great play by Gerry (which I highlighted in this week's All-22 Review), but BG helps set the play up with his rush which forces Jets quarterback Luke Falk to get rid of the ball earlier than he would have liked, and it turns into a defensive touchdown.
Graham didn't just get it done as a pass rusher. As usual, he made some really strong plays in the run game as well.
Graham is an extremely active player against both the run and the pass. His ability to win with strength, power, effort, and technique helps set the tone up front for the Eagles' defense.
The big tone-setter, however, was Fletcher Cox. While No. 91 wasn't able to get home for any of the Eagles' 10 sacks in this matchup, he made an impact on this game. Not only does he set up some of the sacks for others, but he also affected the quarterback several times on big plays. Cox was also once again stout against the run.
The sacks will come for Cox this season. Sacks can be a bit of a fickle stat, but his impact is unmistakable when you watch the film of the defense's performance from Sunday.
Let's take a look at some of those sacks now, shall we? The Eagles were very active with their blitz package on Sunday. By my count, they blitzed the Jets on 26 out of 53 offensive plays (removing penalties), or 49 percent of the time. Against the pass, Jets quarterbacks were 8-of-17 for 71 yards, with two picks, three sacks, and a lost fumble.
Those are pretty impressive numbers, but if you follow the math, that means the Eagles got a majority of their sacks out of their four-man rush against the Jets. In fact, Jets quarterbacks were 5-of-8 for 48 yards against a four-man rush, with seven sacks. Here are three of them.
The Eagles ran a number of stunts in this game. We saw T-E stunts (where the tackle runs upfield first with the end looping around), E-T stunts (where the end penetrates and the tackle loops outside), and several three-man games as well. Why? I think with two changes on the offensive line for New York, the Eagles preyed on that lack of continuity by forcing them to communicate quickly to pick up stunts, and it didn't go well for New York.
As the game went on, the Jets tried different things to keep the quarterback clean. They stayed judicious with the run game. They worked in several screens. They also kept backs and tight ends in as extra blockers on vertical shot plays, but even with max protection, they were unable to keep the quarterback upright.
What I love about these plays is that you get a real sense of how the rush and the coverage are married together. This is not going to be the case on every play, but when you look at big plays on defense around the NFL, it's a very prevalent theme. You rarely have great coverage plays without a strong rush, and you rarely have great pass rush plays without good coverage. There are exceptions to that, of course, but the two are very reliant on each other to have overall team success, and I thought that happened in this game.
Jim Schwartz dug deep into his bag of tricks and revealed a whole bunch of fun blitz packages against a young, inexperienced quarterback in Falk. Linebackers and defensive backs attacked from all angles. One of those players was cornerback Orlando Scandrick. The Eagles' slot corner in this game, Scandrick has always been a good blitzer throughout his career in the league, but he never had a performance like the one had on Sunday. The 12th-year veteran became just the fifth NFL defensive back since 1993 to record a pair of sacks and forced fumbles in the same game.
One would think that with Scandrick and Craig James in the lineup, two players who are mostly unfamiliar with the Eagles' scheme, that Schwartz and his staff would keep things relatively vanilla on Sunday. That was far from the case. The Eagles threw the kitchen sink from a pressure standpoint and mixed things up on the back end as well. It was a lot of fun to go back and watch all of the ways they attacked Falk.
These rushes didn't result in sacks, but keeping Falk and an offensive line that lacked continuity coming into the game up on their toes was certainly a point of emphasis in this matchup.
The Eagles held the Jets to just 3-of-14 (21.4 percent) on third down, only 67 rushing yards (with only 43 of those coming from Le'Veon Bell), a 37.3 quarterback rating (the second-best number under Schwartz in his tenure as the Eagles' defensive coordinator), and allowed just one drive of more than six plays in the game. This was a wounded Jets unit, but it's certainly a performance the team can build off of moving forward into the meat of a tough schedule.
Fran Duffy is the producer of the Emmy-nominatedEagles Game Planshow which can be seen every gameday during the season on NBC10 in Philadelphia. He is also the host of two Eagles-related podcasts,Eagle Eye in the Sky, which examines the team from an X's and O's angle each and every week as well as theJourney to the Draft podcast, which covers college football and the NFL Draft all year round. Fran also authors the Eagle Eye in the Sky column, which runs four times a week during the football season to serve as a recap for the previous game and to preview the upcoming matchup. Prior to joining the Eagles in 2011, Duffy was the head video coordinator for the Temple University football team under former head coach Al Golden. In that role, he spent thousands of hours shooting, logging, and assisting with the breakdown of the All-22 film from the team's games, practices, and opponents.

With nearly 2.5 billion Christians spread out across all corners of the globe, December 25th is an international day of celebration of the birth of Christ. Different nations/cultures have developed numerous different Christmas traditions and/or celebrations, some dating back centuries. These traditions and celebrations have been exported to other cultures over and vice versa, sometimes unknowingly.
Not to sound cliche, but Christmas truly is a time where people of all different backgrounds come together to celebrate the same thing.
Here are five different Christmas traditions and/or celebrations from around the world.
Christmas Markets
Origin: Bavaria, Germany
Christmas markets, also known as Christkindlmarkt (Southern Germany pronunciation translating to "Christ's Child" market) are street markets that pop up in the weeks leading up to Christmas. Originated in Germany, the Striezelmarkt in Dresden is considered the first genuine Christmas market. The Striezelmarkt was first held in 1434 but earlier markets known as "December markets" are referenced as far back as 1298 in Vienna. The Striezelmarkt was the precursor to what would become modern Christmas markets, which begin during Advent. Many towns in Germany, Austria and Switzerland usher in Advent with the opening of a Christmas market.
Markets generally include a nativity scene, Nussknacker (nutcrackers), traditional Christmas cookies such as Lebkuchen and Bratwurst. Glühwein – a heated, spiced wine – is often considered a favorite at traditional Christmas markets.
Modern Christmas markets include the staples in addition to more ethnic German food and alcoholic beverages, stalls that sell various gifts and a wide array of hand-made products. Famous Christmas markets are held in Dresden, Nuremberg, Frankfurt and Nuremberg among other German/Austrian cities and towns.
Christmas markets are also one of the more well known Christmas traditions to have impact outside its origin region. Christmas markets can be found around the world, typically in regions with significant German populations. The United States in particular has a fair share of Christmas markets with major, annual markets in Chicago, Philadelphia, Arlington, New York City and Bethlehem, PA among other places. Markets have increasingly become an annual tradition in many English municipalities since 1982, with Lincoln, England establishing what remains one of the biggest Christmas markets in the U.K. Annual markets are currently held in Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester and Liverpool among other places.
Strasbourg, France has celebrated a Christmas Market around its Cathedral since 1570, when the region was part of the Holy Roman Empire.
Origin: The Philippines
The Philippines is an overwhelmingly Christian nation with upwards of 90% of the population identifying as such. Christmas is a big deal in the Philippines and nobody quite gets into the Christmas spirit like they do. Christmas light displays featuring "paróls"; star-shaped lanterns meant to be a representation of the star of Bethlehem, are prominent. The paról symbolizes Filipinos' goodwill during the Christmas season and represents light triumphing.
Paróls came to prominence in rural areas of the Philippines when people would use them as a light source on their way to Midnight Mass, which is another part of the Filipino Christmas celebration. The paróls came in handy before electricity was widely available in the country and have remained a part of the Fillipino Christmas season. "[The parols are] as important to Filipinos as the Christmas tree to Western culture — without parols Christmas wouldn't be complete," Philippines native Christian Ian V. Bordo told CNN's Sarah Brown.
Large light displays including Paróls can be found throughout the Philippines from September all the way through August. Those of Filipino descent carry the tradition with them across the globe, including San Francisco.
Origin: England
Eggnog is a mix of beaten egg, sugar, cream, milk, nutmeg and some type of liquor – typically brandy, rum or whiskey. Though eggnog's exact origin is the subject of debate, it is widely agreed that the drink is an evolved form of a medieval British ale-type drink known as "posset". Posset was made with hot milk that was curdled with wine and ale and flavored with spices. The original drink that would become known as eggnog was known as "egg flip" in England due to the practice of "flipping" (rapidly pouring) the mixture between two pitchers to mix it. The term "eggnog" is thought to be an Americanized term for the concoction.
Eggnog became a traditional Christmas drink in the 1700's. The American colonies at the time provided vast swaths of farmland which made liquor more affordable. Eggnog continued to be popular across both sides of the Atlantic during the 18th century, before and after the revolution. Eggnog was a favorite of George Washington, who even had his own personal recipe.
Eggnog remains a Christmas staple in both England and the United States, making it one of the many Christmas traditions with a global reach. Eggnog is called "coquito" in Puerto Rico and is made with rum and fresh coconut juice. In Iceland, eggnog is served hot as a desert.
Santa Claus
Origin: Northern Europe and The United States
The modern Santa Claus is essentially an Americanized version of a Christmas figure found in many European countries. Santa's earliest origins are based on the real life Saint Nicholas of Myra, a 4th century Greek Christian Bishop. Saint Nicholas was known for his generous gifts to the less fortunate. During the Middle Ages, his feast day – December 6th – was commemorated with children receiving gifts in his honor.
"Father Christmas" is an English Christmas figure dating back to the reign of Henry VIII, where he was portrayed as a large man with green robes. The Saint Nicholas celebration was no longer celebrated at this time, meaning "father Christmas" instead arrived on Christmas day. "Sinterklass" is the Santa equivalent in the Netherlands and Belgium while Germanic culture also features a Santa figure with pagan origins.
The Santa Claus of today is more an Americanized version of all these characters. "Kris Kringle" had become a popular Christmas character in parts of the United States by 1845 – leaving gifts in stockings for children of "good personage". What became the classic visual representation of Santa Claus was originally drawn by famous cartoonist Thomas Nast. The illustration was published in Harper's Weekly in 1863.
America's economic boom following the Second World War cemented Santa as a giver of boatloads of gifts to well behaved children. Coca Cola was instrumental in the popularization of Santa, having featured him in ads since the 1920's. While different variations of this character still exist across the globe, Santa has pretty much cornered the market and become one of the more global Christmas traditions.
The Gävle Goat
Origin: Sweden
The Gävle Goat is built on the first day of Advent and is a giant version of a traditional Swedish yule goat. Yule goats may have Germanic pagan origins and today exist as popular Christmas ornaments.
Typically standing around 13 meters tall, the Gävle Goat is made of straw and stands in the town square of Gävle. The plan was initially devised by advertising consultant Stig Gavlén and financed by Harry Ström. The original goat was constructed by the town's fire department in 1966 and ironically burned down. Goats were then built in the following years and survived, only to be burned down again in 1969. Two drunk teenagers burned down the goat yet again in 1970, just hours after construction.
Tired of having the goats burned down, the financiers at the time decided to scrap the tradition in 1971. Versions of the goat were then constructed from the National Science Club from the School of Vasa only to be destroyed by fire, hit by a car and stolen between 1971 and 1980. Vandalizing the goat had turned into one of the more odd Christmas traditions on this list. Finally, the goat survived again in 1981 before more destruction.
In 1985, the goat was featured in the Guinness Book of Records and despite being guarded by military personnel, it was still burned down. The Southern Merchants – who were the financiers before the goat's repeated destruction became tiresome – built their first goat since 1971 in 1986. To this date, a Gävle Goat is constructed by both the Science Club and The Southern Merchants.
The goat was most recently burned in 2016 and 2019's goat is still standing; guarded by a double fence, CCTV, round-the-clock guards and a K9 unit. Gambling on the goat's destruction has gone on since 1988 and the Gävle Goat can now be monitored via live-stream.

Fukurou Nihonryori's Spicy Sashimi Salad
There was a time that I became conscious with the food I ate, that I ordered only salad for consecutive days. Good thing the restaurants, listed in Grab Food gave us a lot of options to choose from. That is where I discovered Fukurou Nihonryori. When I look for healthy food, I always end up with Japanese Food. My healthy staple for Japanese food would be salad, salmon sashimi, and miso soup.
It was a Eureka moment when I discovered Fukurou Nihonryori's Spicy Sashimi Salad! Jemboy wasn't into salad, so he would usually take at least one forkful of salad and then that's it, but this Spicy Sashimi Salad is different. He exclaimed: this was the first time; I enjoyed a salad!
Thanks to the freshness of salmon sashimi as well as tuna sashimi, it was really a joy to eat. I was expecting thin and tiny pieces of sashimi but the serving here was bang for your buck. I compared that to my experience in ordering Sashimi in traditional and modern Japanese Restaurant in and out of Manila. Sashimi comes with a hefty price for just a few pieces of it, but with Fukurou Nihonryori's Spicy Sashimi Salad, the sashimi shaped like rose included may look small, but when you start separating the pieces with your chopsticks, you realize there's a lot and that you could sandwich one sashimi piece into your lettuce draped in their creamy, spicy sauce and salmon roe.
I love salmon more than tuna sashimi. There are a lot of times that I give tuna sashimi a chance in different restaurants, but the strong tuna taste tend to disappoint. But because the sashimi of Fukurou Nihonryori is so fresh, the tuna included in the salad wasn't bad at all.
Thanks to Fukurou Nihonryori, you inspire me to prepare this salad dish too. A simple dish, but healthily unforgettable!
Kudos to the chef at Fukurou Nihonryori in Pinnacle Plaza, Cainta. I read mixed reviews on different branches but this particular branch has excellent ratings. We really thought the chef, as well as the one who pick the food ingredients should be credited for this. Not just the sashimi, but the lettuce was all fresh too.
For this post, I just highlighted this guilt-free healthy dish which deserves 5 stars, but there's more to the food menu of Fukurou Nihonryori than just this salad, and we will write a separate food review on it soon.
We haven't tried to dine in there and we haven't tried to experience their Teppanyaki, where in a chef will be cooking your meat, rice, and vegetables in a table-sized metal plate right in front of you. We only have a glimpse of the modern looking restaurant when we passed by it while we were in the car. But hopefully, we could visit and experience the place 'cos we are really happy and satisfied with the food!
Location : Pinnacle Plaza, Marcos Highway, Cainta Rizal
Opening and Closing Hours : 10 A.M. – 11 P.M.

Famitsu scans reveal a new Dead or Alive 5 character, and it seems he has a crap name. Right now details are limited, but according to scans found on CVG we do know he's Canadian, and that his name is Rig. Rig. Let that echo in your head for a few seconds.
Rig is totally ripped and knows Taekwondo, but these upsides are killed by how he'll pronounce the word 'about.'
Outside new character additions, a new photo mode has been added to the game. According to Andriasang, this new mode uses an improved control system over older DOA titles, which probably means better upskirts. You'll also be able to watch your replays with a free moving camera, letting you zoom in on the naughty bits. Sicko.

Two more tech businesses, one run by Colin Barnett's son, to list on ASX
The momentum of tech company listings on the ASX is continuing in 2016, with two new tech businesses announcing their intentions to go public in the coming months, including one led by the son of Western Australia Premier Colin Barnett.
Business management technology company WORK[etc], founded by Daniel Barnett, was ranked by Deloitte as one of the fastest-growing tech companies in Asia Pacific in 2013, and is now planning to list on the ASX to raise $4 million to $5 million.
Mr Barnett, who is based in Sydney, said the business had not raised any capital to date, but going public would give it the extra funds and exposure to scale.
"WORK[etc] isn't just an idea or a concept, we have a tried and tested product," he said.
"We're in 29 countries already and we're in the process of accelerating into other regions. We're also one of the first software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies to list on the new Amazon SaaS app marketplace, and we've seen huge growth on the back of that alone."
The three-year-old company provides an all-in-one solution for small businesses' customer relationship management, project management, billing and helpdesk, and also integrates with Xero, QuickBooks, Google Apps and Microsoft Online.
It is currently being used by 840 customers, 65 per cent of which are in the United States, the rest are largely dispersed between Australia and Britain.
Mr Barnett said he was still deciding whether to pursue a backdoor listing or an initial public offering.
Revolving back door
Last year saw a record-breaking number of backdoor listings, with 50 companies taking this route to the ASX, up from 31 in 2014.
They've produced a range of results, with strong initial performances from companies such as 1-Page, MigMe, and Tech Mpire, but most have stayed relatively flat.
"There are a lot of technology companies looking to come onto the market in the next little while, so it will be interesting to see the quality of the businesses choosing to do an RTO (reverse takeover), compared to an IPO," Mr Barnett said.
One of those businesses doing a backdoor listing is Property Connect, founded by Tim Manson in 2014, which is doing an RTO into the shell of Conquest Agri.
Property Connect – which has developed a platform called Live Offer that notifies renters when better properties managed by the same firm come up for grabs, and provides transparency around how their bid compares with others vying for the property – will debut on the ASX in early March.
Since launching in the US in April 2014, it has done 11,000 transactions, in a market of 30 million apartments.
"At the moment, for version two of Live Offer, we've signed up just over 101,000 apartments," Mr Manson said. "The rental market is getting stronger and stronger in the US … In 2008 the percentage of owner-occupied dwellings was 68 per cent, now it's 61 per cent and it's tipped to go below 55 per cent."
Property Connect has recently done a deal with cloud-based property management tech business Apmasphere to integrate its technology and launch in the Australian market.
The listing could be the first of many in the property tech space in 2016, with technology experts at the Property Portal Watch Conference in New York two weeks ago predicting an onslaught of fixed-price, no commission and automated peer-to-peer websites.

Art. Party. Sun. City.
54th Biennale di Venezia
Venice is beautiful and loaded with history and culture. It's romantic, the food and wine is ever so good and it is the place where locals randomly burst into opera in cafes (or so I found). However, I must say if I were to go sans Biennale I could have easily become rather bored, not to mention bankrupt after a couple of days. As a background to such an exciting, international event Venezia is… just… perfect.
The opening few days for the press were terribly fun… Champagne everywhere and much eavesdropping in order to find the best parties for the eve. My fave of these was hosted by the Finnish pavilion on a secret island, for which to get to, we had to spy a lady holding a balloon at the dock. Upon arrival, we discovered to much joy millions of buckets of champagne, to be dished out and replenished just as sparingly as peanuts in a pub. A tattooed burlesque dancer n icelandic DJs kept us entertained till 5am… we were Finnished!
Now.. the art…
Despite all the weird and wonderful participations, it was Germany that best impressed the Biennale judging panel. The late Christoph Schlingensief deservedly scooped the Golden Lion for the German Pavilion, with a collection of works entitled 'Church of Fear vs the Alien Inside'. On speaking to The Art Newspaper, the curator Susanne Gaensheimer revealed that Schlingensief – who passed away last summer from lung cancer before the work was completed – was invited to shake up the German Pavilion which had in recent years "reached an endpoint". The exciting multidisciplinary art did just this with a bold gothic swipe at politics and culture.
I was asked to review the exhibition for Under/Currents Magazine, so you can read all about Church of Fear, and some of the other pavilions here.
Some pix for y'all:

Krystel | LBCC Founder
Hello, my name is Krystel.
As a fan of morning rides, more commonly known as coffee rides, what I like most of all is the social side of cycling... and the exquisite coffee that comes with it, of course.
Hair in the wind, peloton gossip and the end of ride beers, I dream of smooth asphalt and the golden hour. I love to challenge myself to seemingly unattainable challenges and finally see myself surpass them! A PR excites me as much as a new Le Braquet.cc kit.
I can't hide from it, the aesthetic side of my favourite sport also inspires me. Artistic and a bit fashionista, I enjoy the beauty of the riders piercing the air at full speed. I'm the kind of person who contemplates the tanned demarcations of a leg.
I exist for Saturday mornings starting with a combo of the tightening of Boas and oat milk Cortados and ending with a salty high five and a pint of a local lager.
