Paul's Journey to Jerusarome (OH! Clever title…)*
I'm lazy.
If you don't read this, the following will be less clear.
Jesus blessed the Jews by his bodily presence and through bringing the full force of the kingdom of God to the epicenter of Judaism. But this not where he stopped. Because after he ascended into heaven, he came back at Pentecost and infused his spirit into the body of believers. Then, the believers become markedly like Jesus: preaching the same message, performing similar healings, having similar conflict with authorities, casting out demons, and Jesus is seen to be doing in spirit form through the disciples essentially what he was doing in his body.
If you want, compare a few passages from Luke part 1 and Luke part 2 (Acts) to see what I mean. Luke 3:21-23/Acts 2:1-13 ; Luke 7:1-10/Acts 10:1-11:18 ; Luke 7:11-17/Acts 9:36-43 ; Luke 5:17-26/Acts 9:32-35 ; Luke 22:66-71/Acts 6:8-15, 7:56 ; Luke 4:40-41, 6:17-19 ; Acts 5:12-16.** These events are not the same, but they are similar. The vast number of similar-type events between Luke part 1 and part 2 at least demonstrates that something significant is going on here. I submit to you that Luke frequently utilizes events in Luke part 2 that resemble events in part 1 as narrative prompts for readers to recall the meanings and implications of the events in part 1 to help the reader interpret the meaning of events in part 2.
Jesus' journey to Jerusalem was the climax of Luke part 1. In Luke part 2 (Acts), our deliberate author tells about the journey of another character, who is full of the Spirit of Jesus, and his journey to Jerusalem and then to Rome.
Luke does a very similar thing with Paul's journey to Jerusalem that he did with Jesus'. He consistently reminds his readers as Paul is journeying from city to city that Paul is going to end up in Jerusalem. Although in the end Paul goes to Rome and dies in Rome and the reader already knows he is going there, Luke typically only mentions Paul's journey to Jerusalem. I believe this is so the reminders have a dual function, to emphasize the importance of going to Jerusalem and to draw out the likeness of Paul's journey to Jesus'.
When Luke first mentions Paul's destiny-driven journey to Rome, he describes it similarly to the start of Jesus' journey to Jerusalem. Acts 19:21 says, "Paul resolved to go to Jerusalem… He said, ' After I have been there, I must also see Rome.'" Luke 9:51 says that Jesus "resolutely set out for Jerusalem." The words "resolved" and "resolutely" are both used in the translations instead of the Greek idioms that Luke used to describe the resolution and determination with which both men went to Jerusalem. After this Acts passage, Luke reiterates throughout Luke 20 and 21 that Paul is going to Jerusalem.
In Luke part 1, the author reminds his readers of Jesus' journey to Jerusalem and what that meant for the Jewish people in terms of its fulfillment of Messianic prophecy, blessing the Hebrews by bringing the kingdom of God to the core of Judaism. In Acts (Luke part 2), the author also regularly reminds his readers of Paul's journey to Jerusalem (and then to Rome). Why is he doing this when he talks about Paul's Roman Holiday? Excellent question Jeremiah. Paul's journey to Jerusalem/Rome has a similar theological function as Jesus' journey to Jerusalem. Woah?
Paul also seems to have similar expectations of the outcome of his trip to Jerusalem. In Acts 20:22-24 Paul says, "And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there… in every city… prison and hardships are facing me… However, I consider my life worth nothing to me…" Here Paul is implying that he suspects some terrible things are awaiting in Jerusalem, he even hints at death.
Later, Paul's friends through the Spirit affirm what is going down in Jerusalem. A prophet tied his own hands and feet together with Paul's belt to illustrate the Spirit's message to Paul, "'In this way the Jews of Jerusalem will bind the owner of this belt and will hand him over to the Gentiles'" (Acts 20:11). Like anyone else who was handed over to the Gentiles? Paul's response, "I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus" (Acts 20:13). Jesus and Paul have a strikingly similar readiness for the die for the sake of the good news of Jesus Christ, and both appear to have this idea that going to Jerusalem is movement toward their own death.
Perhaps you recall, Luke frequently utilizes events in Luke part 2 that resemble events in part 1 as narrative prompts for readers to recall the meanings and implications of the events in part 1 to help the reader interpret the events in part 2. Paul enters Jerusalem on a good note (21:7), just as Jesus did, but things heat up from there. Paul is taken out of the temple by a Jewish mob and beaten until the Roman authorities wrest him from the mob (21:30-35), the violence of whom "was so great he had to be carried by the soldiers." Jesus' beatings rendered him unable to carry his own cross. Both men ended up with their fate in the hands of the Romans because of the hostility of the Jews. Reminiscent. Similar but different.
How about "almost but not quite"? Paul was, just like Jesus, about to be flogged by the Romans at the directive of Roman authorities, but all of the sudden Paul wasn't flogged because he was a Roman citizen.*** As a reader we've had ourselves set up for this dramatic trip to Jerusalem involving a looming expectation of death and explicit foreshadowing of Paul's suffering there. We are set up for something much like Jesus' trip to Jerusalem that we are probably well acquainted with. Just when it looks like it's about to look like the passion story, it shifts and we're reminded by this new information of Paul's Roman citizenship that he told us at the outset his story wasn't ending in Jerusalem.**** His epic journey to Jerusalem then becomes an epic journey to Rome.
Acts 23:11 is the first time that as a reader we hear God chiming in and making His will crystal clear: "'Take courage" As you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.'" Then Paul goes before a smorgasbord of elite Roman rulers to whom he powerfully and insistently presents the story of Jesus Messiah. He gets sent to Rome to bring his testimony before Caesar. Rome. As Jerusalem was the center of Judaism and Hebrew culture, Rome is the center of the world. It is the hub of all of the peoples of the known world. The story of Acts ends with Paul spending years in this historically, narratively, and theologically significant city "boldly and without hindrance" preaching "the kingdom of God and" teaching "about the Lord Jesus Christ" (28:31).
My contention is that our delightful storyteller under the inspiration of the Spirit of God is deliberately comparing Paul's journey to Jesus' because of the similar but different theological implications of their respective journeys. One theologically significant aspect of Jesus' was to bring the Messianic Kingdom and full presence of YHWH to the Hebrew people. Paul's journey was to bring the Messianic Kingdom and full presence of YHWH to the people of the world. I believe Paul's journey was, in the context of the story, the fulfillment of the Abrahamic covenant from way back in Genesis that Peter reminds us of in an important speech in the beginning of Acts. "He said to Abraham, 'Through your offspring all peoples of the world will be blessed'" (4: Jesus blessed the Jewish people by bringing them Immanuel, "God with us," hearkening back to the first part of the Abrahamic covenant (Genesis 12: 2). Paul, only through the Spirit of Jesus, in the climactic event of the book of Acts, fulfilled the second part of the covenant by bringing Immanuel to "all peoples of the world."
* Please laugh at my absurd parenthetical comment.
**Portions of list are borrowed.
*** Also, Paul went before the Sanhedrin like Jesus and the high priest commanded he be struck, like Jesus was beat while before the Sanhedrin, but Paul was not struck. Almost, not quite.
**** However, Paul's journey to Jerusalem did result in him going to Rome where he was imprisoned and died. Ultimately Paul's journey was also one to his own death.

I enjoyed this and your previous post on Jesus and his journey to Jerusalem (though the phrase "he came back at Pentecost and infused his spirit into the body of believers" could use some nitpicking along Trinitarian and infused/imputed-grace lines). Or, I could stop overreacting whenever I hear someone use the word 'infused'.
One primary difference to note between the journeys of the two men is the reason why they are willing and expecting to suffer once they get to Jerusalem. Jesus is unafraid to go to Jerusalem because it's where he knows he will complete his work of redemption. Paul is unafraid to go to Jerusalem because, as a result of what Jesus has done, he has been made "more than [a] conqueror".
June 2, 2010 at 7:46 am
Perhaps they were afraid and their determination overrode it. I don't mean to suggest that Jesus, Paul, or Christians today are like superheroes, blowing up bridges and jumping out of planes because they're not afraid anymore.
My point was that the motivations were different. I give you these imagined dialogues:
Peter: Nice day, today!
Jesus: Sure is. Let's go to Jerusalem.
Peter: Won't people try to kill you in Jerusalem?
Jesus: They sure will. That's why I'm going. Come on, we've been over this.
Peter: Aren't you scared?
Jesus: Not really- for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world.
…20 years later…
Barnabas: Nice day, today!
Paul: Sure is. Let's go to Jerusalem.
Barnabas: Won't people try to kill you in Jerusalem?
Paul: Maybe, maybe not. That's not why I'm going. We've got to talk about if circumcision is necessary for Gentiles.
Barnabas: Aren't you scared?
Paul: Not really- it's an honor to suffer for the name of Christ, so if it's God's Will that I get beat up or even die, that's ok. If I'm allowed to go on a third missionary journey hopefully as far west as Spain, that's ok too. God's grace is sufficient for me, for his power is made perfect in weakness.

"It also seems that the oneness of the trinity allows some degree of freedom in many cases to refer to them interchangeably. What do you think?"
"We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. Who in unity with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified."
Or, if you prefer what was put nicely this past Trinity Sunday:
"And the catholic faith is this: That we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity;
Neither confounding the persons nor dividing the substance.
For there is one person of the Father, another of the Son, and another of the Holy Spirit."
Sure, the Trinity is a little fuzzy. But that doesn't mean that Jesus came back at Pentecost, that the Father has spoken through the prophets, or that the Holy Spirit was born of the virgin Mary. Your original point was that Christ was and is the head of the church even after his ascension. Right on. Just be as precise as possible and no preciser.

I've been looking for a way to thank you privately for something, but I can't DM you on Twitter nor do I see an email address here. So if you're willing, please message me at email@example.com. No this isn't spam. I have a good reason for not wanting to state my business in the open ether.
God bless you

I can't believe one week of official summer vacation is already under our belt! Things are moving right along. We've been doing a good job at sticking to our summer calendar. . .I'm actually chronicling our summer through Instagram pictures and will have a book printed at the end of the summer. You can follow me on Instagram (@mzm40) or from time to time I might post an Instagram pic or two here.
Speaking of pictures. . .still trying to get the hang of my new camera and my new lens on manual settings. I shot these under somewhat cloudy conditions on the following manual settings- 1/1000, F6.3, ISO 1600:
Again, these aren't the best but just some practice shots on manual settings. . .my husband asked why I just don't leave the camera on automatic and call it day, well sweetheart that kind of defeats the purpose of investing in a camera like this! I want to be able to evoke the feeling I had when I took the picture, the emotion, the temperature, the vibe. . .photographs have the ability to do that if you capture the moment just right.
I start the process this week of copyrighting my images for the children's book. I've been thinking about coming up with a campaign where I donate a portion of the proceeds from every book sold to charity, which means I would have to actually set up a process for selling the books. . .this initially started off as just a project just for my kids but I am really proud of what I've done so far, so I think I will go the self publishing route and promote the book. Just one more thing to add to my growing stack!
Since I've been at home, I've been more committed to cooking home cooked meals. Saves money and calories when we don't go out to eat as much. On the menu last night was broiled lemon pepper salmon, broccoli au gratin and seasoned potatoes:
Well, I have to sign off now. Baby girl has ballet class today but before ballet class we have to clean up the entire upstairs area. It looks like a tornado hit it! Once we clean up, then we set up for tonight's TALENT SHOW! I have no idea why I do this to myself! Glutton for punishment or sucker for my babies. Or maybe a little of both.

Any questions?
Mike Watson and Becky Jones each pushed a cart full of CD's to the electronics department of Wal-Mart.
"I'm telling you, someone is messing with us!" Mike tried to explain to Becky.
"Mike, who would purposely fill two carts full of CD's and leave them in the baby clothes section? One of the new kids must have been stocking last night and forgot them there," Becky tried to be reasonable.
"I thought of that, but what about the baby clothes that were in the toys section?" he asked impatiently. "Or the toys that were in the kitchenware? Or the kitchenware with the underwear? And the underwear was draped all over the lawn mowers! And then we noticed lawn mowers were missing, and you know where they were? They were-ow!"
His cart rammed into another cart as he turned the corner. He just got angrier as he saw what was in it.
"And look at this! A random cart of fabrics with the electronics!" He exclaimed, making his point.
"Ok, fine," Becky said. "Maybe somebody is-hey!" Suddenly, she was knocked over by someone who must have been moving so fast, she didn't see them. Then a red blur made a sharp turn around the corner.
"Sorry!" two voices called out.
"Hey, you alright?" Mike asked, helping her off the floor.
"What were you saying about someone messing with us?"
To Be Continued!!

We are already in July. Time flies so quickly. I hope you all are doing well. For just a moment at least five minutes, take time to reflect on what God is, has been and has done for you. Tick, Tock, Tick and Tock. If you feel like taking more than 5 minutes, carry on. I'm sure there's so much that God has done for us all. From January till July, God has given me another breath to be alive. Yes, life isn't always sunshine. Somedays are filled with dark clouds and heavy rain but through every storm and trial, Christ remains the same. As you reflect on all that God has done for you and your family, I ask that you pray for those who don't have anyone to lean on. As we enter into this month, I ask that God keeps and blesses your family. All that God has in stored for you and your family, may it come to pass. Whatsoever you are trusting God for, may you continue to trust in him, believing in your heart that your time will come. May the peace, joy, good health, strength, favor of God be of your portion in this month of July.
"I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever.
2 Every day I will praise you and extol your name for ever and ever.
3 Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom." -Psalm 145
No matter what you are facing at this moment or season of your life, know God is still on the throne working it out for your good. I'll keep you in my prayers. Keep pushing. The promise of God still remains for your life. Trust and lean on God more. It isn't always easy but he is available for all of us. As this weekend approaches, I hope that everything goes well for you, your family and loved ones. Until next time, God bless you and take care. 😊
I present these flowers below to you. Whatever you are going through, know that it won't last long. There will be a season where you will blossom. You may be in a season and time where you are asking God where he is and you may seem confused but know that it is well with your soul. Things fall in place. Stay blessed and take care ✨☺💐

Mathew had a CT scan today and the results show his tumour has shrunk by about 1/3 rd and no signs of mets! Yippee, Xmas came early at our house – thanks Santa!
In other news, Mathew is now recovering from the feeding tube procedure that took place late this morning. He cannot eat or drink until tomorrow after the doctor checks the tube in his stomach. Mathew is getting shots of morphine in his arm to manage the pain. We wet his whistle with small sponges soaked in water.
Until the cap goes on the feeding tube, the line is emptying the contents of his stomach into a bag. It certainly isn't for the gag-prone individual. Tonight will be a quiet affair while he rests.
Thanks Santa for my early Xmas gift this year! That CT scan was the only thing I wanted this year…. And tonight I'm going to sleep soundly.

CONTINUING OUR LOOK at selected pages from The Derby Informer. This week: The Business page.
Well…Ed had it wrong in his earlier assessment. He didn't quite get it right when he was yammering about modular design and the top of the page. Oh, yes, he had the modular design part right. What he got wrong was how the page was originally designed.
We've adjusted the illustration below to show the biz page as Ed thought it was designed (left) and as it was actually designed (right).
So, Ed's earlier comments (below) about the story running under the photo are incorrect. Still, the hotel (lead) story and the People and Places package both doglegging over the Business Bytes package is certainly not modular design. There are no easy fixes on this one—looks like the entire page would have to be redone (including some adjustment of story length here and there) to make it modular. Suggestions?
FROM ED: The gray screen here is mine. I placed it on the page to illustrate the r-e-a-l-l-y bad wrap on the lead story. A design fundamental: Go modular and avoid doglegs where possible. The lead story here runs below the photo and over the "Business Bytes" package. Sheeesh! It would have worked much better to have run the hotel story in four columns, about as deep as it is now. Then run the Business Bytes below the 2-col photo. Or…am I missing something?
I don't think jump heds of only one or two words help readers much. I mean…what does "Budget" mean? And if you think readers would already know because they came here from the front, that's an assumption I'm not willing to make. Many readers actually start from the back of a section and work their way forward. "Budget" isn't much of a reader-grabber head, is it?
So much for thoughts…let's see what others say.

South Florida's record-setting drought delivered a setback to the fight against exotic plants spreading across the Everglades.
Melaleuca and other fast-growing transplants from other parts of the world are a threat to the Everglades because they overwhelm and crowd out native plants, which hurts wildlife habitat.
Much of the Everglades dried out during what turned out to be the driest October-to-June stretch on record in South Florida.
Particularly hard hit was the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge, considered the northern remnants of the Everglades. The refuge, which stretches across western Palm Beach County, at one point was 95 percent dry.
Those dry conditions enabled exotic plants to spread, but cut off airboat access to the interior of the refuge. Without airboat access, contractors hired to kill exotics couldn't do their work.
"We came to a standstill because we just couldn't do anything out there because of the low water," said refuge manager Sylvia Pelizza of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. "We might have lost some ground."
The refuge extends across 144,000 acres, providing habitat for more than 257 species of birds. The refuge is also one of the three Everglades water conservation areas where levees help contain stormwater that supplements regional supplies.

What's coming up?
I am extending Iron Maiden week one extra day (today) because I want to do the second part of my favorite Maiden songs off of each studio albums. In order to do that I'll have to pull out those Blaze Bayley discs and listen to them to decide on my favorite songs off of those. So that post will probably be up later today. This past week my playlist has actually been short because it has been dominated by two albums. Maiden's new one The final frontier and their 1980 self-titled debut. Been playing over and over. However I have lot of other reviews I need to knock out so for the rest of this week I hope to have up reviews of discs by Poobah, Pro-pain, Saint, Soul Remants, Adiastasia and the companion piece book for the band Fallen Angel. Also Clash of the album covers is quite likely to make an appearance. Take care and have a great week.

- The BMW 3-Series, the best-selling Bimmer model, a consistent darling of the auto media
- The Ford Explorer, bellwether of the SUV craze
- The Dodge Viper, the 10-cylinder hellspawn snuggling Mom's minivan in the showroom
- The Cadillac CTS, proof that Detroit could build a modern luxury car
- The new Chevy Malibu, proof that Detroit could build a modern bread-and-butter car
Unfortunately, Bob Lutz may be best remembered for his shoot-from-the-lip moments more than any iconic vehicles under his watch. Global warming is "a total crock of (excrement)" is not a great talking point for any corporate leader, especially one whose products have tailpipes. When the Toyota Prius ascended earlier this decade, he dismissed the car as a PR stunt. Right. By the way, how many Hollywood stars have proudly pulled up in Vipers on Oscar night? How many "stunts" make the top ten for best-selling cars in the U.S.? Maybe the Prius is a money-pit to manufacture, but how many zillions has Detroit blown in long-forgotten TV ads and profit-killing "employee discount" campaigns? OK, I'll stop now.
To Bob Lutz' credit, he preached what he practiced. Speaking at the Public Relations Society of America's 2008 International Conference, he said, "I've been a lifelong critic of corporate communications that don't communicate, or are too sanitized."
As he exits, Bob Lutz is cheerleading for the electric Chevy Volt and insisting that GM erase its "reputational deficit." Too little, too late, perhaps. Or maybe a sincere valedictory for a car guy who refused to be sanitized.
POSTSCRIPT, JULY 11: Bob Lutz has cancelled his retirement and will be staying on. "GM's brands, marketing, advertising and communications will report to Lutz for consistent messaging and results," according to an official statement.

One wishes Mr. Lutz well–from afar.
When I served as environment secretary for California Mr. Lutz was doing his best to resist rising environmental consciousness among consumers, especially the rising generations.
Now, as if in penance, he champtions the Volt.
Like many in the US auto industry, he ridiculed and resisted innovatinon in emissions control and energy efficiency–then expresses wonderment when people are later skeptical when the very same companies claim they can produce a great product under those very standards.
Mr. Lutz's approach brings to mind what was said of the Bourbons: they learn nothing, and they forget nothing.
The legacy we now see at GM is tragic. Mr. Lutz is among those corporate bureaucrats helicoptering out of the ruins of what once was one of the great enterprises of human history. It is reminiscent of a nation utterly devastated in wary, forced to unconditional surrender.
There's no exit option for most of those negatively affected by the massive leadership failiure at GM. They must live with the consequences wrought by people whom they trusted.

I love parades!
Here are some pictures from the parade:
Of course, I especially loved bagpipes!
Here is a short video of the Highland Creek Pipe Band as they passed us.
Here's a picture of the chicks. But they also had hares, and a calf.
They had rides for the little kids too.

Our family has experienced celebrating birth recently but unfortunately this past week we had our first experience with death. You might remember the cute Baby Goat Pepper who was found on the side of the road in a thunderstorm a week before our pony Champ was born. Her life was taken from us last week in a very sad accident. Not only was it hard for myself but watching my children grieving was not something I want to experience again anytime soon.
We animal lovers treat our animals like our family and even though we only knew Pepper for a short period of time she had made a big impression on all of us…we had fallen in love with her. So rather than focus on the sad accident I want to do a tribute to Pepper because she would want us to be happy!
Loved others and didn't like to be alone. She made friends quickly and she treated everyone equally. She knew how to have fun. She was trusting and never afraid of others. She was kind. She loved life and didn't ever miss out on the chance to have fun. She was a companion to an expectant Mother and together they welcomed new life in the wee hours of the morning. She learned quickly how to help with morning feeding chores and always had a friendly hello. She was an example of how precious life is and to treasure everyday as a gift. She lived a full life even if it was just for a short time.
We love you and miss you tremendously Pepper. You made a big impression on Adults, Children and Animal Friends in your short stay at the barn. The loss of your life has made us reflect on how we can do better and pay more attention to what's around us. We have learned to be grateful for the experiences and opportunities of each day that we are given on this earth. We will remember to keep smiling even when life might not go are way:)
Linking up to Dandelion House Farm Girl Friday.

Tuccho (2008) by Cactus
Released in 2008, this material is a bit too old for reviewing…I understand, but heck, Nipon wanted me to do this anyway so here it is…
Formed in the year 1992 the bangla-band Cactus has come a long way in the bangla rock scene…it's been almost two decades!!! With songs like Shudhu tumi ele na, Halud pakhi, Mon, Bodhu re that Cactus belted over the years, we melted…we cheered…we sang along…we screamed our lungs out along with our heart…we held our loved ones and cried…
With the changing rock scene worldwide, Cactus answered back with their new sound and a new line up in this fourth album Tuccho released in 2008! With songs like Kobita dao, Masiha, Raater pori their experiments with alt-rock, punk-rock and rap are clear. And there's the trademark Cactus ballads as well like Phire chawa, Bhalo theko, Shabdhane raasta perio, Pokkhiraj…but I gotta say this I really miss Pota's vocals which worked magic with ballads! But it's time to move on i guess…
All I can say to the ardent fans of Cactus and to all the bangla rock lovers who have already bought this CD, is.. kudos Cactus did it again! and to those who haven't had the chance to listen to this album yet…please do give Tuccho a try and I promise you'll not regret it!
Hope Cactus continues to quench the thirst of all it's fans for many more decades to come!
Song List:
- Tuccho ami
- Phire chawa
- Masiha
- Kobita dao
- Shabdhane raasta perio
- Raater pori
- Pokkhiraj
- Bhalo theko

I watched all 16 episodes of the Korean drama in 2 days. To be honest it was totally not what I was supposed to do but I just couldn't help it. It's a good TV series with most of the details are well-organized to deliver meaningful messages to the young generations, and of course at the same time make some commercial ads subtly. The main plot is the love stories of 2 couples, the ladies work in medical service and the males serve in a special military agent. The males' jobs are all exhausting as they require not only a plenty of high-pressure physical and mental skills but sometimes also their sacrifice of life. That makes the girls worried most of the time because their boyfriends are always in danger. The leading female role keeps running from the relationship to avoid the fear but finally she just can't stand and follow her heart, accepting that it could be broken anytime. The other girl works in the military medical service so she does not have much problem with her lover's career. Her team just needs to deal with the disapproval of her father, the General Commander, who has the right to give (unfair) order so as to break them up.
They devote their youth to work at their best just like their Swear at the end of the training to be a soldier/doctor. They have to fight pretty much under unfavorable conditions but they just do not give up easily keep the pride of the work. There seems to be no limitations for the characters in the series (that makes it a little surreal). But the fight is true, everywhere on earth. That's why the film gets a lot of audience's sympathy and becomes a phenomenon since its release.
For me, there's a few point that I really enjoy in this drama:
1. Beautiful cast. Cannot deny that if the leading roles are not Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo, I could not care that much and start watching right after the full series is broadcast.
2. Various filming sites. All are well arranged and decorated to make the scenes as real as possible. Foreigners outnumbers Korean cast in the series, I think.
3. Valuable career orientation for the youth. Not every kid now can understand the real work of soldiers or doctors as well as their mottoes. This film helps a lot.
4. Logical emotional development. I share the same thoughts with the female leading role when she was scared of her crush's job, when she bravely kept her love and when she was broken into pieces hearing he'd never come back to her arms. It would be redundant to praise Korean films for such reasons but still I have to admit.
5. Good OST. Well actually I can just remember my Junsu's song. But well, music in the film is so smooth and natural that I barely recognize their intervention.
To sum up, I like this one, not enough to get crazy but enough to force myself to write this post, not bad, totally not bad! 🙂

I agree along with you. I have frequently questioned why opioids weren't used in the course of the initially psychotic split to quiet me down while in the medical center with out the many restless Unwanted effects of anti-psychotic medication, then take away me from them before I acquired far too adicted to them. The withdrawals would have been gentle in comparison to Geodon. And no movement dysfunction.
You can find "minor proof" that Preliminary use of antipsychotics or upkeep cure Together with the medications Have got a "unfavorable very long-expression influence."
Through the use of AWS as it was a startup, Ticketea has developed a lot more than 50 percent annually and captured one-fifth of the market in Spain. The company simplifies party management by giving a software package solution that capabilities as an e-commerce platform for selling tickets.
In my place,NAMI experienced implicit energy to expose the professional medical faculty college students and people to cautiously picked individuals who would relate how the established order from the process labored well for them. These people had been picked by staff who may not have experienced any professional schooling.
I understand it's late, but I'd far better point out a paper of Richard Kunin's a San Francisco MD), who wrote a Journal of Orthomolecular Psychiatry report about dealing with TD productively with manganese salts and/or B3 all-around 30 yrs back. This, without a doubt, introduced terror into your hearts of your orthodox, speaking about not merely drugless treatment plans, but also that dreaded term, "niacin", as being a part of this kind of treatments.
In the past 15 years, Jaakko Seikkula has frequently reported on the five-12 months results of very first-episode psychotic people handled with Open Dialogue Therapy in Western Lapland, a protocol that avoids immediate usage of antipsychotics. Two thirds of their people have not been subjected to antipsychotics internet at the conclusion of 5 years, and they are asymptomatic and performing nicely.
Speaking of white coats – is that the critique writer during the photo? Putting on a white coat to provide a powerpoint presentation?
And it is a study they cited as supplying evidence that Original therapy with medication produced much better prolonged-term outcomes.
A lot of the dissidents happen to be seduced because of the prospect of "a Center way"–as whether it is Buddhistic. You explained the mildly dissident Frances 'credo, "Prescribe them to the proper sufferers, since for these clients the medications might be everyday living-conserving, but control the overuse and polypharmacy that may verify destructive to numerous, notably Go Here for individuals who have standard complications, instead of real psychiatric Diseases.
Significant occasion case studies. These analyze one or more web-sites possibly for the goal of examining a problem of distinctive fascination with minor to no real interest in generalization, or to contact into issue a highly generalized or universal assertion. This process is helpful for answering trigger and influence thoughts.
The "untreated" team had been on ordinary 48 yrs outdated and had been ill for fourteen decades. Any one With this rural Group who, from the a long time before 1994, experienced experienced a psychotic episode and recovered with out treatment method wouldn't have revealed up During this study.
The authors, inside their introduction, cite papers by Moncrieff, Gøtzsche this contact form and me as elevating considerations about the long-time period outcomes of antipsychotics. When it comes to medical value, the evaluate need to function an examination of proof relevant to how antipsychotics are increasingly being prescribed.
Please never attack me for my "awakenedness", or I'd show you what a SH*T-Mind your internal demon is. Rejoice and be great!
As Sandy Steingard wrote within an MIA blog quite a few years ago, there isn't a transparent photo, from these studies, of irrespective of whether shortening some time of psychosis before remedy by having an antipsychotic makes a meaningful distinction about longer amounts of time.

Learning to write about my ancestors was tougher than I thought it would be. The unit I've just completed – Writing Family History – not only taught us different techniques to 'turn ancestors into characters', we had to produce a short written narrative (250 words) every week. Following a different prompt each time, we were also encouraged to write fiction to 'try out' these techniques – the hook, flashback, dialogue, senses, 1st person…the list goes on.
After a shaky start (who to choose! what to write! how to stick to the word count!), I grew to love it. I loved giving these people a voice, putting myself in their shoes, imagining what it may have been like for them.
Very far removed from the here's-a-fact…and-here's-another-fact style I had been used to! The 'flash fiction' approached was great, and certainly forced us to sharpen our writing.
One of the activities from the course was to write "an account of a moment in one of your ancestors' lives where they are in a frightening or menacing place. What is happening? How did they get there? And how will they adjust?"
I chose to write a fictional account of a moment in the life of James and Edward McGee, my great-grandmother's brothers. Based on an actual event in 1905, I tried to imagine how that moment may have been for them.
A Brother's Love
The two brothers stood hand-in-hand, shivering from the biting cold in their threadbare clothes. Having just been transferred from the Brunswick Police Station, they were now in Melbourne facing an uncertain future. Ahead of them behind wrought-iron gates loomed a grey-brick building, its façade worn and tired.
"Is that Gaol, Jimmy?" Edward asked quietly, his voice wavering.
James was scared too, but couldn't let Ed know that. He was the big brother and took that job seriously – he couldn't let Ed down now.
"Nah, Ed", he laughed. "We're not criminals!"
"What's a word of…state, then? And what's neg…neglected mean?"
James frowned, glancing at the officers waiting near the gates. Ed was constantly repeating things grownups said, and James wished they wouldn't say so much in front of him. Ed was only four – he didn't need to hear it.
"It's 'Ward of the State', Ed. It just means we're going to stay here for a bit until mum comes to get us. It'll be great – food and everything!"
"For real? Mum's coming?"
James kept positive for Ed's sake, but knew better. Their mother might come, but they had to find her first. He'd overheard the grownups too, when they thought he was out of earshot. Ed may be too young, but not James. He'd be eight soon – almost a man! His dad must have thought so too – why else would he have cleared out weeks ago and left them alone?
Smiling at his little brother, James motioned toward the officers at near the now-opened gate.
"C'mon Ed, race you!"
If you're in Australia and have the opportunity to do this course, I highly recommend it.
Now the next challenge will be to see if I can put it into practice when writing non-fiction, and keep it up!

Seven Heroines
Prologue: The Legacy
Our world was peaceful as long as anyone can remember. Our land was beautiful with lush green forests, mountains that looked like they could touch the sky, oceans with water so clear, you could see the creatures living out their own lives. Best of all was the people living in our land. They were happy with their lives and were happy with the person they loved the most. Different races existed within our world and each had a complete understanding of the other's culture. All of this was being watched by our benevolent queen. Although a bit dim time to time, she always tried her best to please her people. She had such strong friendships with the neighboring kingdoms as well. Yes everyone was happy, that is until that day.
One night when the moon was full, a dark circle emerged and covered the moon with a sense of an evil light coming out of it. A violent earthquake shook the land and a large crevasse began to form. From that crevasse, a large gothic castle emerged. Soon dark clouds with red lighting began to appear all around it. It was soon learned that the one who lives in the castle was the demon queen, Rias Gremory. She sent her forces out onto the land to conquer the land while abducting the women so they could be part of her harem. Of course, our queen retaliated to the attack but we soon learned how powerful the demon queen's forces are. Our armies' were either killed or captured to be either part of her army or her growing harem.
Hope was rapidly declining in our land. Now even mentioning the name "Rias Gremory" instills fear in the people. The people mourn their loved ones who were taken away from the demon queen. They could only imagine what they were going through in that castle. Some say as soon as the women join the demon queen's harem, they lose all memory and only have love and lust for their queen. As of now, our queen is doing her best to fight off Rias' armies but it was slowly turning into a losing battle. Then a queen from the kingdom of elves requested an audience with our queen.
She said she may have the answer to ending this terrible war. The elves were skilled in magic and healing but a long time ago they developed a kind of summoning magic. Along with this, the elf queen saw a prophecy. If ever the dark forces arise from the earth, seven warriors shall be summoned from different worlds. They are the last line of defense to battle the forces of darkness. Just hearing this made our queen hopeful once again. She didn't know if this would work or not but it was better than nothing. Now in this desperate time, one last hope still exists. This is the battle between good and evil. A battle of fate itself.

Hey guys,
today I have another make up tutorial for you. As promised I did something different this time. I tried to create a reddish fall look and I only used eyeshadows from one palette! So as I only used the BH Cosmetics "It's judy time" palette it would be super easy and super affordable for you to recreate this look.
To start I primed my eyes with the Urban Decay Primer Protion. I absolutely love this primer because it makes the eyeshadows last super long without any creasing. And then I put some sticky tape to my lower lash line to create a sharp line with the eyeshadow.
Next I took this dusty rose shade and blended it into my crease. This shade will be our transition color.
Then I focused these two dark red tones into the outer v of my eye and blended everything together.
After that I took the lightest shade of this palette and put it all over my eyelid. To make a little bit darker and shimmery I used this coppery shade and put it over the light shade. Plus to make the look a bit smokier I blended the coppery shade on my lower lash line.
Then I lined my eyes with the Chanel eyeliner and removed the sticky tape. To make my eyes look bigger I applied the L'Oreal mascara on my top and bottom lashes.
For blush I used the Bobbie Brown Telluride 10 Bronzing powder, which is a dusty rose shade.Nothing too obvious and I slightly contoured my cheekbones with the Mac bronzer in Golden.
And last but not least I lined my lips with the Bobbi Brown lipliner in Pink Mauve and applied my Mac lipstick in Brave all over my lips.
And thats the finished look! I hope you liked it :)

- How prevalent is phishing/vishing/internet crime in your country/hometown?
- What other ways can people prevent being cheated?

Read here: http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-37735369?
The "23-year-old Lebanese girl" who seduced Samir on Skype was almost certainly a young man from Oued Zem – a small town in central Morocco that has become known as the capital of the "sextortion" industry.
The Oued Zem scammers trawl Facebook for victims, and as soon as a man answers a video call – either on Skype or, increasingly, within Facebook itself – they activate software that shows the victim a pre-recorded video of a girl downloaded from a porn webcam site.
They are so familiar with this video that they are able to chat-message their victims at exactly the points where the girl appears to be typing on the keyboard.
"We ask him to take off his clothes and to do obscene gestures," says one young scammer I will call Omar.
"It's crucial that his genitals are visible while he's doing these gestures. This is filmed with his face on screen so the video looks credible. When we've got the recording we upload it to YouTube and send it to him in a private message. That's when the threatening starts. We spend 20 minutes chatting, 20 minutes for the video, and 20 minutes threatening – threatening and negotiating. They all pay."
He adds: "The weak point of Arabs is sex. So you look for their weaknesses, and you exploit them. The other weakness is when they are married, for example. You can exploit that. Then there are the really religious guys. You see someone who looks like a sheikh, carrying the Koran, and you think, 'There's no way he'll fall for this – but let's try him anyway.' And when you try, he falls for it."
Salaheddin El-Kennan, a labour activist, does not blame the town's young men for making money from extortion. He points the finger at the state-owned company that mines phosphate in the surrounding countryside but employs very few local people.
"I chose not to go down the route of scamming because I consider it incompatible with our Moroccan and Islamic values," he says.
"But unemployment rates in our town are higher than in the rest of Morocco. Nationally, unemployment is at 8.7%, while in our town we estimate that it's as high as 60%. With the lack of employment, and no apprenticeship schemes in the city, many people look for other ways to make money."
Omar said he was not proud of what he does, and that he wanted to stop scamming.

Roy Hodgson was in no doubt as to who was Chile's star performer when they beat his England side 2-0 at Wembley in November 2013. Though Alexis Sanchez picked up the official man of the match award for his two-goal performance, the home coach had nothing but praise for Claudio Bravo, La Roja's man between the posts: "I think it was the best demonstration of footwork and passing I've ever seen from a keeper," he declared.
It came as no surprise, then, when the Chilean custodian left Real Sociedad at the end of the season to join Barcelona, where cultured footwork is an essential asset for any player looking to hold down a first-team place.
Two years on and Bravo and his club-mates find themselves in the final of the FIFA Club World Cup Japan 2015 courtesy of a 3-0 semi-final defeat of Guangzhou Evergrande, all the goals coming from Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez. Just as in Chile's Wembley triumph, however, there was more to the victory than some silky finishing.
An illustration of that came just before the break, when, with Barça leading 1-0, Guangzhou's Brazilian forward Elkeson flashed a dangerous header towards the inside of Bravo's far post. Diving full stretch, the Chilean keeper met the ball on the half volley and tipped it away to prevent the Chinese outfit from pulling level and making life harder for the Spanish giants.
"It's hard to explain, but you have to ready at any moment," Bravo told FIFA.com when asked how he manages to stay focused and be in the right place at the right time. "There was that chance, when I had to really concentrate to make what was a very tough save.
"A situation like that can happen at any time. Though I hardly had anything to do in the first half, it was in my mind the whole time. You always have to be focused and communicate with your team-mates and read the game. That's something that comes with time and experience."
It's definitely going to be spicier.
Now 32, Bravo is not short of experience, having made a record 99 appearances in a Chile career that includes appearances at two FIFA World Cup™ finals and four Copa America competitions, and having also won five titles in 2015.
"I take it all in my stride, with a sense of calm. I never think I've got a trophy won until it's won," said the keeper, who could add the Japan 2015 crown to the Liga, Copa del Rey, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and Copa America titles he has lifted this year. "I always try to think of the next match, on us being professional about it and focused and playing in our usual efficient way. That's the only way you achieve objectives."
Something in the air
The objective in this particular case is to lift the trophy in Sunday's final against Argentina's River Plate, opponents who stir up some vivid memories for the Barça custodian. "Playing against a South American club is a whole different ball game," said Bravo, whose nickname, Condor Chico, recalls that of his predecessor at Colo-Colo, Roberto "El Condor" Rojas.
"There's a totally different atmosphere at South American grounds," he added with a smile. "It's more festive, and there's more edge to it, more tension. There's a bit more spice in the air behind the goals. It is more tense and when you get to the stadium you usually keep the curtains drawn on the bus."
With 15,000 Argentinian supporters expected at the Yokohama Stadium on Sunday, Bravo may need to draw the curtains again when he and his team-mates pitch up. "It's definitely going to be spicier," said the Chilean, who savoured the rarefied atmosphere of South American club football at first hand in the Chilean league and the Copa Libertadores.
"I'm happy, though, because people are really looking forward to the match. For us it's great to see the fans come and support their team. That's what makes football a party, which is what you see in South America.
"It's great to experience something like that. As a player you want games to be played in an atmosphere like that, with all the folklore of football and the supporters. And we'll be up against a team with a great history and some fantastic players. It's going to be a really good match."
Earlier this year, Bravo came up against another team with an illustrious past and packed with leading players: Argentina, in the Copa America final. The keeper had a night to remember on that occasion, excelling himself in the penalty shootout and hoisting the trophy aloft, an outcome he would be only too happy to repeat on Sunday.

So, I run into the grocery store to pick up a few items for dinner.
It is after 5pm.
The cashier has probably been standing for at least 6 hours.
She manages a smile.
"How are you tonight? Did you have a good day? Do you get off soon?"
I have a feeling she would rather I didn't ask any more questions.
She is tired.
She is a senior citizen.
I wonder what her story is.
I need gas.
I stop by the service station, fill up and decide to buy a lottery ticket.
I recognize the guy behind the counter.
"Hey, good to see you. How have you been? I haven't seen you in awhile."
He tells me he has been ill, and needs dialysis twice a week.
I wonder how he can work.
What is his story?
I am thirsty and stop for a beer.
The regulars are there.
They talk about sports and the weather and their vacations.
I wonder if they really know one another.
I arrive home.
My husband doesn't feel well.
I ask him how he is, and if there is anything he would like.
He says he is ok, and doesn't need anything.
I don't believe him, but I respect his privacy.
I wonder if we really know one another.
I look at myself.
What is my story?
I keep it to myself, for the most part.
I have a difficult time, sometimes, sharing the darker side of my life.
And then I reflect, on the cashier, the guy behind the counter, the regulars at the pub, and my husband.
And realize we all wear our masks, do what we have to, to survive, to ease the pain, and for the most part, keep our real stories to ourselves.

Canadians weigh in on when childhood chores become child labour
MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - June 12, 2015) -
Editors Note: A photo for this release is available on the Canadian Press picture wire via Marketwired.
To mark World Day Against Child Labour (today), World Vision recently asked Canadians how they felt about today's children doing traditional chores. Participants were given a list of common jobs to see what kind of work they considered to be acceptable for a 10-year old Canadian child.
Canadians overwhelmingly agree that classic chores like cutting the grass, taking out the garbage or babysitting are all a perfectly acceptable part of growing up, according to a new poll by Ipsos Reid. But Canadians are adamant --- the worst forms of child labour are completely unacceptable.
World Vision is asking Canadians a simple question: if child labour isn't acceptable in Canada, why should it be acceptable anywhere? While lighter, age-appropriate child work is often necessary for a family's survival in developing countries, the worst forms of child labour, including long work long hours and exposure to physical, psychological or sexual abuse, must be eliminated. In addition to being dangerous, child labour also interferes with their education and the opportunity for a better future.
That's why World Vision is asking Canada to Check the Chain! In a new report, World Vision is calling for a multi-stakeholder advisory group including Canadian companies, the Government of Canada and civil society to develop legislation that would require large companies to publically report on what they are doing to address child labour in their supply chains. Other countries, including the US and UK, have already introduced similar legislation. By harnessing consumer and investor pressure, supply chain transparency legislation will raise the bar on the actions companies are taking to respond to the problem of child labour to eliminate it from products Canadians buy.
"Kids need to be given the opportunity to have a real childhood, whether they are in Canada or in a developing country. That's why the results of this survey are so striking --- because it brings the problem of child labour home. We want to work with business and government to develop legislation that would require companies to report on their efforts to address child labour in their supply chains so that Canadians can be better assured the products we use every day aren't made by kids," says Elly Vandenberg, Senior Director, World Vision Canada.

"Far too often child labour is being used to make the things that Canadians consume and use daily. It's time for Canadian companies, governments and civil society to work together to develop new legislation that would help eliminate child labour from the everyday products Canadians buy. It's what consumers and investors want: 87% of Canadians support supply chain transparency legislation. Canadians don't want to be part of the problem --- they want to be part of the solution," says Reena Vohra, Child Protection Policy Advisor, World Vision Canada.

I read Rob Bell's book Velvet Elvis a while back. I tried blogging about it at the time, but was never happy with the post. I was concerned about some of the stuff that he was saying, but didn't have the time to properly write it up. The other day I noticed a pastoral response to Velvet Elvis from Pat Abendroth, the pastor of Omaha Bible Church, through the Irish Calvinist blog (Erik Raymond).
I would mostly agree with Abendroth, as he hits the nail time and again where Bell seems to miss the mark. You can check out the whole text here.

The Return gives us another sequel to not one but several previous episodes from earlier scenes. The most obvious is "Tabula Rasa" and the return of "Professor Ivo's Android" - not as catchy a name as Amazo, but then the voice actors might not be able to keep a "straight face" trying to say that name. We'll call him that heer though for convenience.
But we also have references to "The Terror Beyond" and the return of Dr. Fate, who is just as enigmatic and clearly not quite in line with the rest of the League agenda-wise. Which is good - so far we've seen Leaguers who just show up and follow orders and as much as we know, they're all happy campers. The Question (in "Fearful Symmetry") is another chink in the armor - clearly you've got folks like Green Arrow wondering why he hides out in his quarters on the Watchtower. Dr. Fate doesnt' even do that - he teleports in and out as much as he likes.
We have the return of Lex Luthor, who is clearly still kinda/sorta "reformed" after the events of "A Better World." Clearly the League has its doubts but it's hard for the audience to tell - is he putting on a front that he drops for the League who know him better, does he not try because he doesn't expect anything better from them, or is he just getting snarky because he's under pressure what with the whole "cosmic being trying to kill him" issue and all? It's as always a credit to Clancy Brown that he shades Lex Luthor in so many layers - in fact, the character is more subtle in Justice League then he ever was in Superman.
And finally, we get the much-demanded return of Hawkgirl, last seen in "Starcrossed." Given the hints of mysticism tied in to Thanagar mentioned in "The Terror Beyond," it would make sense for her to go to Dr. Fate for assistance - where else is an alien with a unconcealable pair of wings going to hang out but in an other-dimensional mystic tower? If the team of Solomon Grundy, Aquaman, and Dr. Fate is weird, then now we have Hawkgirl, Amazo, and Dr. Fate. Umm, okay...
With all the refer-backs, how does the episode itself stand up? Considering it's pieced together from plot threads from multiple previous episodes it stands up damn well. We get the Green Lantern Corps and Oa and finally get the answer to "Whatever Happened to Kyle Rayner?", Earth's Green Lantern from the Superman animated series. Amazo trashes Oa and heads for Earth, and the League mobilizes its forces. We get a little closer look at a few heroes then just brief shots: Starman, Dr. Light, S.T.R.I.P.E., Rocket Red, and Fire cut loose. They don't do much, but at least they don't stand in the background looking useless.
We also get more of the Red Tornado. Unfortunately, it's not made very clear that he's an android and some folks found the shot of him being sliced in half and exploding rather startling. Presumably he'll be rebuilt (with or without explanation?) but his "death" here does come across as a misstep on the producers/writers' part. Amazo doesn't think much of other androids and consider them "alive"?
Steel gets a few lines although not much of a personality, and Supergirl gets a few minutes to shine. With the regulars fading into the backgrouund except for John Stewart, that gives us The Atom - scientist, superhero, and all-around good guy.
John C. McGinley is amazing in this part given that he has so relatively little to do. He's cocky, confident, competent, caring, and a bunch of other C words. McGinley and Clancy Brown put together a pretty good rapport and there's a lot of little things tossed in here that hint at the character - his ability to enter subatomic universes, his scientific expertise, the fact the power comes from his costume as indicated by the electrical sparks when Amazo hits him. Like the Question, he's another character that piques the audience's interest and one we'd like to see more of. he's already scheduled for another appearance this season, but his "early appearance" here is a bit of a surprise and a nice prelude to him going solo down the road.
Finally we have Robert Picardo, often underrated until he showed up on Voyager, doing more voice work for Amazo himself. Amazo here doesn't really have a lot to do other then look big and menacing - instead of duplicating powers he simply is is power, which deprives the character of some subtlety. But his quest for purpose, and Lex Luthor's answer to his questions, is nnother good moment.
So overall "The Return" ends up probably the best episode of the season to date in terms of sheer superheroing and continuation of themes. Fearful Symmetry does much the same thing, but it's a little more focused on character and less on the "big issues," but it also runs with some dangling plot threads from other episodes and spins them out into future stories. overall, an excellent conclusion to the "summer season" of the series.

The one who soothes your ego when you're not feeling yourself
Is tugging on your conscience when you're feeling someone else
You may say that she's beneath you when you're feeling ten feet tall
But the one you treat like dirt is there to catch you when you fall
There's a road that leads to heaven and a road that leads to hell
And the road that leads between them is a road you know so well
If you can't walk the straight and narrow, if you stray from side to side
Let temptation be your mistress, salvation be your bride
Is it a blessing or a burden?
Let your conscience be your guide
When there's a devil on your back but an angel by your side
Boys who seek the worldliness of manhood
Men who seek the innocence of youth
Boys who prefer boys but choose to live a life of lies
Somebody elses blisters in somebody elses shoes
If hunger makes you feast so much that feasting makes you fast
And every cigarette you smoke you swear will be your last
If your blessings are a burden, if you pray for peace of mind
Let your angels walk before you, let the devil drag behind
Is it a blessing or a burden?
Let your conscience decide,
When there's a devil on your back but an angel by your side

Australia and the United States have just signed a landmark agreement that allows for the rotational deployment of thousands of US marines and air force personnel in northern Australia.
According to Australian media, the "Force Posture" agreement sets out the legal framework for the presence of US marines based in Darwin, now numbering 1,150 but set to rise to 2,500. More broadly, it will allow the US to expand military assets over the next 25 years in Australia beyond the troop rotation.
US Secretary of State John Kerry and Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, as well as US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel and Australian Defence Minister David Johnston, signed the treaty in Sydney, as part of the annual Australia-United States Ministerial Consultation talks. The agreement was reached by US President Barack Obama and Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott in July.

It was the summer of 1969. Haha. No it was the summer of 2014.
The sun was scorching hot. Intense heat waves were being transmitted from the east. Power breakouts were taking their toll on the masses. The sound of generators was spreading noise pollution making it impossible to nap in the afternoons. The circumstances in Lahore were testing the patience of the common masses. It was a ridiculous summer, nothing like the summer of '69, full of fun and frolick.
Mona had started her job as assistant librarian at one of the noblest institute's of Pakistan-The New School abbreviated TNS. The school had a massive building. Blue, orange and grey were the primary colours of the building. It had an international baccalaureate system. A project based learning school where the comprehension of the students was tested and provided them with an understanding of the practical world. It was an institute which was high in demand. All the parents wanted to enroll their children here.
Started in 2007, TNS had achieved a spectacular reputation and had become highly competitive. Where once they were seeking to build their student body now they had the power to either accept a student or vice versa.
The library had been built on three floors. It was a huge project. The topmost floor was meant for the Middle Years Programme, the second floor for the Primary Years and the first floor for the Early Years. The library was going to start functioning from September 2014.
Mona was responsible for the Early Years Program. She worked relentlessly in the unbearable heat to establish the catalogue system of the library. Once all the books were entered into the catalogue, Mona moved on to do the décor. She searched for ideas on Pinterest and other websites on how to furnish and adorn the floor such that it would interest the children. Creative ideas such as building a vocabulary wall, stringing quotes by dr seuss and other authors, setting up a world map, and hanging book covers and paper flags from the roof all came in a flux. She executed the ideas working hard to achieve perfection.
She then established the E-library adding all types of games, documentaries and recipes for small children. She worked long hours and with resilience. The library was established with in no time. The heads came to see the work done and appreciated it.
However, there is dirty politics everywhere. The colleagues who were once friends started getting jealous of the ideas being put forward by Mona. Mona was bipolar. However she struggled hard to overcome her problem. When finally she had settled in well the game began. People began to hide her efforts and misguide her with the result that she was terminated. Mona was a bright girl. However, successive firings had left her far behind in the race against time. Whilst in other cases her depression ate her up, in this case she was genuinely working hard. She was enjoying her work and she stayed away from all sorts of politics and bad things.
She had just picked up pace when she was asked to leave. Mona was upset and shattered. Each time she climbed one step, people threw her back 10 steps.
Mona was a straightforward girl. She did not know how to lie or be diplomatic. She was honest and a workaholic. She did not even demand a figure of salary. She accepted whatever they gave her. She was just hungry for knowledge and appreciation. She just wanted to receive some sort of recognition for the efforts she had put in. People were stealing her ideas and passing them off as their own. It was after being terminated that she realized, the game that had been played with her.
But Mona did not let the perpetrators of crime get away that easily. She continued to email her heads till she got justice. She understood the fact that without raising her voice against injustice, she will be used as a doormat over and over again. She wanted justice and she wanted those who hurt her to be punished.
Moral: Always ask for justice. There are people who will try to bring your morale down. Don't let them win. Be strong and fight for your right.
The New School
It was the summer of 1969. Haha. No it was the summer of 2014.

Exuberant Animal – short video of exercise style August 17, 2012Posted by jeffrooney in Alternative health, Brain Health/Body Health, Movement, Planetary Health.
Tags: being human, Egoscue Method, Exuberant Animal, joint alignment, joint mobility, movement, natural movement
I have been checking out the Exuberant Animal website lately. I found it to have lots of compatibility with many of my own views. It isn't all just about what we eat, how we exercise and the like. There is the issue of how we choose to be as humans and what is our history of becoming human that is explored in many of the elements of what Exuberant Animal seems to address. The site is linked in my blogroll. Take a look sometime. In the meanwhile, check out this short video here that is called the Short Form of an exercise style. I like it myself and I feel it complements the work focusing on body alignment using the Egoscue Method®.
