Walking Across Europe is superb so get on your walking boots to see the region at its very best and really get away from it all.
Imagine Austria as a cake, sliced into 3 parts. The largest part of the country consists of the Austrian Alps. The name of the Alps is thought to stem back from the word "albus", for white, of course referring to the snow-covered peaks. The Alpine landscape that you see in Austria today is only some 2 million years old! It was formed by the ice ages, when enormous glaciers flowing from the mountain valleys covered the area and shaped Austria's countryside. The highest mountain in Austria is Grossglockner, with an impressive 3,797 metres peak. But for walking the Alps are still very good, because many mountains in and around the Austrian Alps have mild slopes with good walking trails.
The older and lower mountain range in Austria is the Bohemian Forest. The name talks for itself: a majestic, heavily forested mountain range. It forms a natural border between Austria, the Czech Republic and Germany. The Bohemian Forest is a popular walking holiday destination with over 500 kilometres of marked walking trails.
The third part that stretches between these two mountain ranges is the Danube valley. The Danube has always been a very important trade route and is the only major European river that flows eastwards. In Austria it flows through some very scenic landscapes and offers excellent walking opportunities. To the east, the Danube flows into the Pannonia plain, a flat area where Austria's capital Vienna is located. Moreover, it passes through the most historical cities and towns of Austria. So, don't miss a chance to see medieval monuments and churches situated on the banks of Danube.

Thanks again David.
I have to confess some ignorance over the subject of your latest suggestions. I have never heard of a VHD or of the term "Mount it" (other than in connection with a deviant man's sexual interest in some animals - or a boys interest in affixing postage stamps into an albern.) Anyway; to save googling these items I will hopefully follow your link to find what is included in a Windows backup.

Many imaging programs, including Windows imaging, create VHDs (virtual hard disks). You can also create a VHD (image) with this command:
WBADMIN START BACKUP -backupTarget:S: -include:T:
This images the partition T on the drive S and that's how it looks. That is a VHD of a small 2GB test partition with little data.
Then you can 'attach' (mount) this VHD. You go to Disk Management > Action tab and attach the VHD. Then you can open it in Computer like any other drive. It will detach itself on the next reboot or when you right click on it you can detach it.

Windows 7 Pro x64 (1), Win7 Pro X64 (2)
I agree that using "Let Windows choose" results in you not knowing what is being backed up. However there is a purpose in allowing that to happen, otherwise the clever people at Microsoft would not have programmed the option in.
One good reason is that many users of a computer are not knowledgeable enough (me included) to decide exactly which files and folders to backup.
Best you know exactly what you're doing in any type of backup ("image" or "data"), so that you make good and appropriate use of it for a disaster recovery. The purpose of backups is to protect you in case of a disaster, so that (1) you ultimately retain a working and bootable Windows system that has full integrity, and (2) you DON'T LOSE ANY PRICELESS DATA.
As to whether ANY type of backup (i.e. "image" or "data") can be done using drive as the target that has only 16GB of capacity, well that of course depends on exactly WHAT you're backing up (i.e. "image" of one or more partitions on your hard drive(s), or "data" meaning selected folders/files from one or more partitions on your hard drive(s)). If the software product you're using (from MS built into Windows, or from some 3rd-party software vendor) provides the ability to specify exactly what your backup is to consist of, then it's up to you to complete that "job" specification.
Furthermore, some backup software products (both "image" and "data") provide for a degree of data compression in the production of the output backup dataset. So while the input partition(s) or folders/files might be one size, if they can be compressed (e.g. ZIP) then the output backup dataset will likely be smaller than the input. So you might get away with doing a backup to a 16GB drive, even though the input is larger.
Alternatively, most people simply buy a large external USB drive (say 1TB or 2TB) and use it as the "backup drive", and not worry about capacity. Ideally using a USB 3.0 external drive is much faster than doing the same backup job on a USB 2.0 external drive, but most importantly you will not have to worry about exceeding the capacity of your target output for the backups. Also, using proper backup software you can retain multiple generations of backups on that large external USB drive, adding to your "feeling of security" and flexibility should it ever be necessary to recover something from these one or more backup datasets.
My recommendation to you: do NOT use Windows backup tools, neither (1) system image, nor (2) data backup.
Instead, download and install Macrium Reflect FREE (or, you can pay a modest amount for the non-free paid version which includes some nice additional functionality, and at the same time reward the excellent software vendor for an excellent software product). This product can do BOTH (1) "image" backups, and (2) "data" backups.
The FREE version does not do automatic "space management" (i.e. automatically "pruning" older generations older than what you specify as the maximum number of generations you wish to retain, when you run a new backup job to create a fresh new generation) so if you go with FREE you'll have to manually maintain your generational historical versions of the backup datasets. If you go non-paid, this will be done for you.
But either way, Macrium Reflect is a SUPERB and easy-to-use product for backup/restore, both for (1) "image" backups of one or more partition(s), and (2) "data" backups of selected folders/files on one or more partitions.
With "image" backups of the bootable "system reserved" and C partitions you can then RESTORE both of them in the event of a catastrophic disaster to Windows integrity that prevents it from booting, or for which you just want to return to an earlier working environment. So you might take these "image" backups weekly (and Macrium Reflect can be set up to run these jobs automatically for you on a regular scheduled basis), and retain say 5 generations just to make you feel good.
Then, you can also take "data" backups for the folders/files where you have "DATA" (e.g. the complete \Users folder on C, and possibly other folders on C or other drives where you have personal "DATA" stored). These "data" backups can be run monthly for a FULL "data" backup, and daily for an INCREMENTAL "data" backup. FULL backups are for EVERYTHING in the set of folders/files you check to get backed up. In contrast, INCREMENTAL backups are for only those folders/files which have been created/changed since the last time you ran a FULL or INCREMENTAL backup.
In other words, if you run monthly FULL and daily INCREMENTAL "data" backups, then everything you work on every day will be guaranteed backed up every night. You will never lose anything, as long as it existed by the time your nightly FULL/INCREMENTAL backup job got run. And once on that "data" backup dataset system you will always be able to recover it in case of accidental loss or deletion or corruption.
By retaining multiple complete sets (i.e. monthly FULL+INCREMENTAL sets) going back say 4-5 months, that means you will have full selective folder/file recovery for ANYTHING you ever had on your system on ANY DAY over the past 4-5 months, as long as the folder/file existed on some night during the 4-5 months when the nightly FULL/INCREMENTAL backup job got run.
In my own situation, I use [non-free] Macrium Reflect STANDARD for my automatically scheduled weekly "image" backups. Automatic "pruning" to keep no more than 5 generations of image datasets.
And I use another [non-free] software product named NovaBACKUP Professional for my automatically scheduled monthly/daily FULL/INCREMENTAL "data" backups. Again, automatic pruning to keep no more than 4 complete monthly sets of FULL+INCREMENTAL backup datasets.
Backup is to a 2TB external USB 3.0 drive for both "image" and "data" backup datasets.
NOTE: when you take an "image" backup of C, obviously you're also backing up the same folders/files that you might also be backing up in a "data" backup including contents of C. Not a problem, and not an issue. The two different backup formats simply provide two alternative restore/recovery options, depending on the nature of your "disaster" and exactly which of your multiple recovery options is simplest, easiest, and gets you back to where you want to be. "Image" backups are easy to recover from but don't provide the selective folder/file recovery capability as would be provided through a proper "data" backup.

Windows 7
Good Morning "papuman",
Thank you for trying to help with the information you provided. However, although your statement about Windows not allowing external backups to HDD was true with "XP"; there is normally no problem on "7", "8" & "8.1".
Good Morning "whs",
Thank you for your comments.
I agree that using "Let Windows choose" results in you not knowing what is being backed up. However there is a purpose in allowing that to happen, otherwise the clever people at Microsoft would not have programmed the option in.
One good reason is that many users of a computer are not knowledgeable enough (me included) to decide exactly which files and folders to backup.
My query concerned a backup on a Flash Drive but I cover all bases when I do a round of backups. First - create a restore point (on internal HDD). Then (normally) a backup onto a 16GB Flash Drive. Then a backup onto DVDs (used to take 2, now takes 7). Finally I create a system image on an external HDD drive (about 150GB)

When you are looking for the best deal on a payday loan, consider applying directly to the lender.
Many local offices after the loans credit payday of astronomical interest rates (30% or more in some states). Despite advances cash in small amounts are presented, each percentage point of interest is added on.
Hector Milla editor of the Web "direct Cash Advance Lenders — http://www.DirectPaydayLoanLenders.org – He said;
"… If a borrower obtains a cash advance loan in the amount of $ 1,000, the amount of refund, not including fees, amounts to $ 1,300 in just two weeks. Dealing directly with a lender can mean saving a hundred dollars or more … "
One of the main reasons people use the local offices of credit loan facilities, but not make it for themselves is perceived convenience. However, there are a number Direct online lenders that offer lower interest rates than most local offices and are willing to complete the process online. Instead of having to visit a loan office to leave after one application and then again to pay, borrowers can now complete an application, accept and return funds through secure, user friendly websites.
"… In addition to comparing interest rates between the companies before the check, one also should consider the amount of time required for loan approval and the total amount to be paid in additional fees. For those who qualify, some borrowers offer instant loan approval, so do not expect to receive your money. With proof of employment and proof of payment indicating that you meet the minimum monthly income requirement, you are guaranteed until the passage of a specified amount. By providing your checking account number, the funds are automatically deposited in your account, so you can meet your urgent financial obligations immediately … "Said H. Miller.
When choosing a loan company payday, do not let the choice be dictated by the offices that are closer to you. To find the best terms, search online for companies direct loans.

John Adams to Abigail Adams, 11 November 1794
John Adams to Abigail Adams
Philadelphia November 11. 1794
My dearest Friend
Since the Certainty has arrived of the very honourable Reelection of our Friend Mr Smith of S. Carolina, the wiser Part of the Community have been the more anxious for that of Mr Ames. The Orrery from Boston, which arrived Yesterday has excited great Expectations, that the District in which Boston is placed, will not disgrace itself by disgracing Sound Principles and independent Conduct in that worthy Representative. Thursdays Post will relieve Us from all Uncertainty. Mr Swanwick is announced to be elected instead of Mr Fitsimmons, by a Small Majority, but it is Said it will be a contested Election Still, and Swanwick may be, for any Thing that I know as fœderal as his Rival.1
The President told me that Mr Finlay Said to him, at their Interview, that the Opposition of the People in the rebellious Counties of Pensilvania was not a Resistance to the Excise, or any other particular Measure of Government, but it was an universal Opposition to All Law, all Government and all Magistracy. And that rather than go through Such another Scæne as he had witnessed among them he should wish to quit the Scæne of Life. This Declaration from Finlay is as important as it is curious.2
If The French Should be in Possession of The Hague and the United Provinces, Our Minister will not go there. His Credentials are to their High Mightinesses and His most Serene Highness, but if their Authority is annulled, either by Conquest or by a Change of Government, Mr Adams will wait in England for new Powers or further Orders. I do not believe however that the French will be in Holland nor the Government changed.
The President and his Lady enquired kindly after your Health. Mr Cranch I took with me on Sunday Evening and presented him to All the Family, where We drank Coffee and Spent two Hours. He gave The President & Lady a particular Account of the present State of the City of Washington.
Miss Custis, Mr Cranch Says, is to be married to Mr Peter of George Town son of a rich Proprietor in the Fœderal City.3
RC (Adams Papers); endorsed: "Novbr 11th / 1794."
1. John Swanwick represented the first congressional district of Pennsylvania as a Democratic-Republican from 1795 to his death on 1 Aug. 1798. He was elected by a vote of 1,240 to 1,182 (Biog. Dir. Cong. description begins Biographical Directory of the United States Congress, 1774–1989, Washington, D.C., 1989. description ends ; Michael J. Dubin, United States Congressional Elections, 1788–1994, Jefferson, N.C., 1998, p. 11–13).
2. William Findley (ca. 1741–1821) was originally from Ireland but immigrated to Pennsylvania in 1763. He held various state government posts before being elected as a representative from western Pennsylvania to the U.S. Congress in 1791. He served as a Democratic-Republican there until 1799, then again from 1803 to 1817 (Biog. Dir. Cong. description begins Biographical Directory of the United States Congress, 1774–1989, Washington, D.C., 1989. description ends ). During the Whiskey Rebellion, he worked to quell the revolt and later wrote a book defending his actions, History of the Insurrection in the Four Western Counties of Pennsylvania, Phila., 1796, Evans, description begins Charles Evans and others, American Bibliography: A Chronological Dictionary of All Books, Pamphlets and Periodical Publications Printed in the United States of America [1639–1800], Chicago and Worcester, 1903–1959; 14 vols. description ends No. 30419.
3. Martha Parke Custis married Thomas Peter (1769–1834) of Georgetown in early Jan. 1795. Peter was the son of Robert Peter (1726–1806), a Scottish merchant who became the first mayor of Georgetown in 1789 (Washington, Papers, Presidential Series, description begins The Papers of George Washington: Presidential Series, ed.

Summary of the technology
Research & Services | Modern cell and molecular biology research of diabetes
Project ID : 34-2010-2440
Description of the technology
New targets and novel classes of compounds for Type 2 Diabetes
Life Sciences; Diabetes
Laboratory for Pharmacological Diabetes Research. Institute for Drug Research, Dept. of Pharmacology School of Pharmacy, Faculty of Medicine, the Hebrew University
Research Topics:
- Development of antidiabetic drugs
- Molecular mechanism of macro-vascular complication in diabetes
- Role of lipid peroxidation in the development of diabetes-related complications
- Molecular factors that determine normal and aberrant interactions between insulin producing beta-cells and microcapillary endothelial cell in Islets of Langerhans
Research Capabilities:
- We designed synthesized and patented novel drugs that increase the rate of glucose transport in skeletal muscles by activating AMPK and recruiting the glucose transport-4 (GLUT-4). These compounds reduced blood glucose levels in animal models of diabetes. In parallel, we have developed a new class of unrelated compounds that increase the rate of glucose transport in skeletal muscles and diabetic animals. Another family of compounds under development are activators of the intrinsic activity of GLUT-4 in the plasma membrane of skeletal muscles.
- We have perfected extraction methods and HPLC protocols for the analysis and quantification of 4-hydroxyalkenals in plasma, tissue culture media and cell homogenates.
Novel drugs for the treatment of Type-2 diabetes are sought. Therefore, research effort to discover new targets for such drugs and the development of active, safe and orally deliverable such compounds are intensive. We offer such new targets and novel classes of compounds that may meet these criteria.
Research Background
The laboratory is engaged in various aspects of diabetes research and combines modern cell and molecular biology research, the use of animal models of diabetes and design and synthesis of novel molecules with antihyperglycemic potential.
Available Resources
- We have developed a cell-fluorescent-based system to follow and study beta-cell and endothelial cell interactions. This assay is sensitive and can be used for screening of new compounds and drugs and their effects on this complex heterologous cell:cell interactions.
- Resources for pharmaceutical chemistry, cell biology and molecular biology research. Use of animal models of diabetes. Advanced lipid peroxidation research.
- We use various methods to measure glucose transport in cultures skeletal muscle cells, in mouse and rat isolated skeletal muscles.
- We routinely perform kinetic analysis of the glucose transport rate in cultures cells.
- We also employ routine methods to measure the abundance of glucose transporters (GLUTs) in the plasma membrane of skeletal muscle fibbers and other cells.

When you sign up to smqueue you are taken through the sign up steps which includes connecting at least one SM Profile. You would have also had the opportunity to "connect more".
Skip this option or have a new SM Profile to connect? The following is a guide to how to connect more SM Profiles.
The maximum number of Social Profiles you can connect to your smqueue account is dependent on your smqueue membership:
Our "Member" Plan offers: 15 Mixed Social Media Profiles.
Our "Enterprise" Plan offers: 100+ Mixed Social Media Profiles.
For more information, go to: Our Plans.
1. Load the "Connect More" interface from either going to the "Settings" tab and hitting on "Accounts"; or by hitting on the "Connect Another Social Profile" button located on the Dashboard.
2. On the right hand side you'll find the "Connect More" module. To connect another SM Profile, hit the button for the type of SM Profile you wish to add. (With twitter, sign in to the twitter account you want to connect to first.)
TIP: When adding multiple twitter accounts, have two browser tabs open - one for smqueue and one for twitter. After you connect a twitter account to smqueue, refresh your twitter tab and sign out off twitter. Sign in to your next twitter account before connecting your next profile to smqueue.
3. Follow the social media authorization prompts (different for each social media platform - see below)
TIP: Once you've connected all your SM Profiles from the various platforms, you will have the ability to sign in to your smqueue account using any of the social media sign in buttons. This is called "Social Sign In". If you share access to a social network with someone else then make sure to switch this off so that they can't sign in to your smqueue account. You will locate this setting under "My Account" -> "Access & Password".

I'm going to start a review of my journal pages each month. (At least I'm going to try). So since here we are now in March, it's time to review February.
I'll be sharing my favorite spreads from the month, if/what I've changed and how things are going within my journal.
This is my monthly spread. I haven't changed much from January. I continue to use the TomBow dual tip brush markers in bright as my colors. This calendar houses everything, from my blog posting schedule, to work stuff and personal stuff. I like when everything in combined into one, then there is no confusion as to what is going on.
I found this image on Pinterest, thought it was really cool; and since I had done the same for the month of January, I figured for each month this year I'll find one of these subway style art photos to print and paste in as the introduction to each month in my journal.
For all of January and February my header style stayed the same, I used the brush markers to write out the day, and then used a fountain pen to write over that in cursive. Then I did a time log (inspired by Boho Berry). I'm going to change this for March.
This freezer inventory printable is available on my Etsy store. I've pasted it into my journal and used washi tape to decorate a border around it. As you can see, I've yet to fill it out and actually take inventory of my freezer. But thats on my list of things to do ASAP.
I found this list and thought it was pretty helpful, so I decided to write it out into my journal.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE reading. And I want to do more of it. Most of my reading is done on Kindle, and I use Good Reads to track books I want to read, and also that I read, since its connected to Kindle and auto updates as I start reading and finish reading a book. I wanted to keep track to see how long it was taking me to read some of the books.
I love this spread, I'm itching for spring, and nice weather to go hiking! So this is helping me track those hikes I hear about that I want to do. I'm currently working on hiking the 46 high peaks and also doing the fire tower challenge in the Adirodacks and Catskills. I like this spread because it tells me the length of the hike, but also has a spot for how far the trailhead is away from my house – so I can plan a hike at a moments notice if I want to.
To go along with my hiking bucket list, I've added pages in my journal that lists the 46 High Peaks, the Catskill 35 and the Fire Tower Challenge. It is a great tracker as I hike them so that I'll remember the dates and be able to send away for my patches once completed.
How about you? what are your favorite pages from February??
Stay addicted Bullet Journal-Ahoilics!


text: Full Screen E-mail a friend Twitter Facebook Share Print Format Contact us Alexander Orlovsky - Six Roundels Depicting Horsemen Alexander Osipovich Orlovsky (Warsaw 1777 - St. Petersburg 1832) Six Roundels Depicting Horsemen five signed with monogram: four dated '1815'; one dated '1816' pencil and gouache with gum arabic on paper each 9.8 cm (3⅞ in) diameter (6) mounted as one, in folder bound in red morocco leather with a plaque engraved 'à Michel Lanskoy' In these six roundels Alexander Osipovich Orlovsky depicts different horsemen. Two of the figures sit astride their steeds dressed in the thick armour of the heavy cavalry. They are accompanied by other soldiers and look out over extensive landscapes. One of them has drawn his sword, ready to commence battle. Two of the other roundels also depict cavalrymen, although they are not as heavily protected. These figures appear to be cantering alongside their fellow soldiers, followed closely by other military figures. The remaining pictures depict figures whose livelihoods are also heavily dependent upon their horses. In one, a peasant family pauses to rest during a long journey. They have unharnessed their horse from the cart which is heavily laden with their possessions and the animal, temporarily freed from its burden, crops a thin patch of grass. The final image shows a man riding slowly home whilst leading another two horses. He has three animals, all of which are harnessed, suggesting that he is perhaps the driver of a troika, or a simple farmer. Orlovsky painted at least five of the roundels between 1815 and 1816 and as a result they share certain stylistic traits. The horsemen, for instance, have been set against an extensive background and although they are relatively indistinct, each setting has been painted in a cool, muted palette. However, each roundel does contain a splash of bright colour, in the clothing of the figures, which enlivens the pictures. Orlovsky depicted a variety of horsemen throughout his career, in different media. One such example, which bears strong similarities to the roundels, is his Horsemen. In this work an exotically dressed soldier, armed with a sword and a bow, has just reached the top of a hill on horseback. He has momentarily paused so that his companions can join him and he points something out to them in the distance. This compositional device, where a single primary figure is followed by a couple of companions, is one which Orlovsky employs in several of the roundels; the mountainous landscapes in which the figures travel are also comparable. There is a focus on the costume and the weapons of the central figure which is also a feature of the military roundels, as is the cool palette. Orlovsky was born in Warsaw and his artistic training, under some of the leading Polish artistic figures of the day, was sponsored by Princess Isabella Czartoryska (1736-1816). He travelled extensively and produced a great deal in the early stages of his career, and developed an confident and elegant style which balances realism with imagination. In 1799, Orlovsky served under Prince Józef Poniatowski (1763-1813) as a caricaturist before his work drew the attention of Tsar Alexander I (1777-1825), and in 1802 he moved to St. Petersburg. In Russia, Orlovsky was invited by Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich (1779-1831) to execute drawings of uniforms and military parades, which were subsequently engraved and prompted many other commissions. In St. Petersburg he came to know members of the liberal aristocratic intelligentsia and frequented the celebrated circle of the historian Aleksey Nikolayevich Olenin (1763-1843). Orlovsky frequently sketched the streets of St Petersburg and many of his drawings were strong in social commentary. Most of his paintings from this time, however, were scenes of battle and army life, as well as Romantic subjects featuring brigands and shipwrecks. In 1809 Orlovsky was awarded the title of Academician of Battle Painting of the St. Petersburg Academy of Art and during the conflict of 1812 he depicted many of the leading figures in the Russian army. Orlovsky was also one of the first Russian artists to take up lithography, a medium in which he was prolific. He also retained, until his death, his great reputation as an inventive but gentle caricaturist. His work was much admired by contemporaries, both for its skill and for the diverse national character of the subjects. This diversity is strongly in evidence in Six Roundels Depicting Horsemen. Artist Biography: Orlovsky was a Russian painter, draughtsman and printmaker of Polish birth. He trained at the Warsaw studio of Jan Piotr Norblin de la Gourdaine and received support from Princess Isabella Czartoryska. He also studied under the Polish court painter Marcello Bacciarelli, the engraver Bartolomeo Follin and the Polish miniaturist Wincenty Fryderyck Lesseur (1745–1813). Until the turn of the century, Orlovsky's career was marked by alternating periods of concentrated work and of travel abroad, often as a soldier or entertainer. Few works from this period survive. Orlovsky's early paintings were timid and imitative; his drawings, however, are assured, elegant and amusing, suggesting the influence of Norblin's combination of realism and imagination. From Norblin he also learnt a free treatment of the subject and a concern with artistic expression. In 1799 Orlovsky served Prince Józef Poniatowski (1763–1813) as a caricaturist, and he subsequently travelled in Lithuania. In 1801 he produced a series of engravings showing the release of Tadeusz Kosciuszko. These drew Orlovsky to the attention of Tsar Alexander I (1777–1825), and in 1802 he went to St Petersburg. In Russia Orlovsky was invited by Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich (1779–1831) to execute drawings of uniforms and military parades (engravings of these were published in 1808). This work prompted many other commissions. In St Petersburg he came to know members of the liberal aristocratic intelligentsia, frequented the celebrated circle of the historian Aleksey Nikolayevich Olenin (1763–1843) and lived for a time at Uspenskoye, the estate of the patron of the arts Aleksey Romanovich Tomilov. Orlovsky frequently sketched the streets of St Petersburg, many of his drawings being strong in social commentary. Most of his paintings from this time, however, were scenes of battle and army life, as well as Romantic subjects featuring brigands and shipwrecks. In 1809 Orlovsky was awarded the title of Academician of Battle Painting of the St Petersburg Academy of Art for his picture Cossack Bivouac. He continued to produce striking drawings, most notably a series of interesting portraits, outstanding among which is a Self-portrait (c. 1809). Executed with bold distinctive strokes in sanguine and charcoal, the drawing's appeal lies in its integrity and expressiveness. It sets the artist in opposition to an external environment that he will not accept, making a bold assertion of individuality. During the war of 1812 against Napoleon, Orlovsky produced some remarkable drawings of leading military figures such as Denis Davydov. In these bravura gives way to observation and a sense of warmth of character. Orlovsky continued to treat themes taken from everyday life. His drawings of beggars, prisoners and the rural and urban poor, such as Peasant on a Wagon (1812), Train of Peasant Carts (1810) or Destitute Peasants by a Carriage (1815), are rare subjects in the art of the early 19th century. Orlovsky was also one of the first Russian artists to take up lithography. He executed 40 lithographs for Gaspar Drouville's book Voyage en Perse, pendant les annees 1812 et 1813 (1819), and in 1826 he produced two large volumes of Russian scenes, Russkiye al'bomy (Russian albums; St Petersburg), and also the volume Kollektsiya Orlovskogo (Orlovsky's collection; St Petersburg). He also retained, to the end of his life, his high reputation as an inventive but gentle caricaturist. The Russian poet Aleksandr Pushkin greatly admired Orlovsky's drawings, both for their skill and for the national character of their subjects. In 1819 Orlovsky was appointed draughtsman in the Topographical Department of the General Staff, and in this capacity he travelled widely through Russia, sketching scenes and individuals found to be representative of the common people. Collections Orlovsky is represented in the following collections: State Russian Museum, St. Petersburg; Tret'yakov Gallery, Moscow; History Museum, Moscow, amongst others.

The Governor of NSW, Professor Marie Bashir, and our Patron, Sir Nicholas Shehadie, help 3 year-old Harry Davenport to open our new Early Education and Care Centre.
Her Excellency, Professor Marie Bashir, Governor of NSW, and Sir Nicholas Shehadie, Patron of The Infants' Home, came to Ashfield this week to officially open our new Early Education and Care Centre – 917 days after they launched a campaign to raise funds for the project.
"We are thrilled to officially open this magnificent new centre," said The Infants' Home CEO, Anita Kumar.
"And we love the symmetry of having Her Excellency and Sir Nicholas here with us again to do the honours.
"It is with a little pride and a great sense of achievement that we can look around and see how all the years of planning, all the investment, and all the effort has created a special place that will cater for an extra 102 children each day."
The new centre will allow The Infants' Home to extend our work with children and families living in vulnerable circumstances in our local area. It has been purpose-built to help meet growing community needs and to bridge existing service gaps in the inner-west.
An independent analysis conducted in 2009 by specialist work-life consultants, Families at Work, identified a widening gap in service provision to children at risk in the inner-west.
The Infants' Home has become the primary provider of integrated early childhood education, care and health intervention services for children and their families in this vibrant, densely populated and culturally diverse part of Sydney.
Last year The Infants' Home provided services for over 1700 children and their families across Sydney. About 30 per cent or 500 of these children have additional needs or live in vulnerable circumstances.
The new centre will increase The Infants' Home's overall capacity by 30 per cent, allowing over 600 children and their families access to our early intervention and education services each year.
Our clinical services will also be accessible to the general public, extending the benefits we provide to the community.
The final project cost for stage 1 was $8.8million.
"Many people, through their generous contributions, have reduced our debt and left us with an outstanding loan of $1.5million," says Anita Kumar.
"Our hope is to raise this money over the next year, so we are not paying interest and so we can concentrate on delivering high quality services to children and families.
"Please help us to get rid of this debt. We can guarantee you one of the best social returns and value for your dollar. And every dollar counts."

Easy To Build Minecraft HousePosted on
Browse through our kitchen design, bathroom design, bedroom design, and additional living spaces to create a sanctuary no matter the room. Since Millennials have now occupied smaller homes , the financially savvy are more likely to have more room in the budget for the designs they want. That means more money is going into kitchen design and spa-like bathrooms. Tiles on floors will tend to be in natural stones or wood effect patterns, while low maintenance backsplashes dominate the kitchen.
Small rooms are not a problem; they only need more planning beforehand but they may actually present a better space for using a simple style, such as modern design, for something that is uncluttered. Measuring of pieces and furniture first are imperative so as not to over crowd a room. With smaller rooms, mirrors and modern styles work well. Lighter colours allow more light into the room making them appear larger. Fitted cupboards and shelves, fewer chairs and clutter and natural lighting all add to a room in a positive way. But it's advisable to keep a look out for inspiration! Kick your creativity into gear by browsing through all of the smaller room ideas available on homify, as well as utilising other sources such as design magazines, and even drawing inspiration from the dining rooms of friends and family members.

BSOD while gaming (never used to happen)
Hello, my Lenovo y480 has been BSOD'ing for the past 2-3 weeks. Graphic settings and texture details I used to play on make the game blue screen, even when i lower the graphics it will take longer to blue screen but it still happens consistently. The only thing that has changed was that I was playing heavily modded games that i believe could have put a lot of stress on my GPU. I have the zip file below.

I've been recently undergoing a face contouring phase, which means increased interest in highlighters and bronzers.
Finding an appropriate bronzer for someone as pale as me in winter is almost an impossible task, but I believe Guerlain Terracotta 4 Seasons Tailor-made Bronzing Powder in shade 00 Nude is one of the best matches I can ever hope for.
This truly classy product comes in a gorgeous compact wrapped in a beautiful dark brown velvet pouch. The lid is made of something resembling a magnifying glass lens through which you can see the brand logo. The manufacturer also attached instructions on how to use the products and which combination of shades makes the best match for pale skin for the right season of the year, though, of course, you need to adjust that to your own skin type or swirl all the shades together if you want to avoid fuss.
As you can see the compact consists of four colours that can be used together or separately to achieve different results.
The one in the top left corner is a pale peachy powder shade that is barely visible on my skin.
In the top right corner you'll find a slightly cooler shade of fair bronzer shade.
In the bottom left corner is equally fair warmer bronzer shade, which is recommended for the summer season.
And in the bottom right corner there is a warm pink shade with very slight shimmer that can be used as a blush or to add pinky glow to your complexion when swirled together with all the other shades.
I love this product and have been reaching for it every day since I got it. But this does not mean that this product isn't flawless.
So let me start with the DRAWBACKS:
1. When the product arrives it's got some kind of weird overpray on top, almost like plastic foil. You need some really prickly, stiff brush with natural bristles to scrape this layer off and get to the actual powder, otherwise you'll get no more pigmentation than from the plastic display thing that symbolises the real product.
2. The shades are really, really fair, so it's recommended only for the palest of beauties, I can pull it off only in winter.
3. Not only is this bronzer very fair, but also very sheer.
4. You definitely can't use this for contouring or sculpting your face. This is your overall bronzer.
5. Very pricey.
And now on to the reasons WHY I LOVE IT SO MUCH:
1. Being fair and sheer this product is easy and foolproof to use. It adds very natural healthy glow to my face without looking unnaturally dark or yellow.
2. Due to the fact that it contains the blusher shade, the blend of all of these shades together imitates my natural pinkish kind of tan and matches my skin type perfectly.
3. This is a versatile bronzer. The bronzer shades are matte, while the pink one contains a tiny bit of shimmer. This means you can decide whether you prefer your bronzer to be on the warmer or cooler side and also whether you want a bit of shimmer or not.
4. Doubles as a very pretty blush.
5. It's travel-friendly as you've got your blush and bronzer in one pan.
6. The packaging is to die for.
7. This bronzer smells gorgeous. I know that some people may consider this a strong disadvantage, but for me it's part of the product's charm. I don't have sensitive skin, it doesnt't break me out and it's such a pleasure to use something that smells so good.
Disclaimer: I bought the product myself for my personal use and I am not affiliated with any company. I am not paid to do this review and everything I said here is my genuine opinion.

We can make a branch for a security release after the fact, either off the last release or off the pre-auth-change tag and then build a security-fix-only release off that branch.

30th November, 2015
It is critical that activists for true marriage prepare for the nefarious tactics that will likely be practiced by homosexual so-called "marriage" activists in the upcoming plebiscite. As the information on this website attests, Malcolm Turnbull is a deceiver who will spare no effort or expense in conniving his way to victory. On no other issue has Turnbull been more fanatical than so-called "gay marriage", and you can bet his scheming abilities will in full flight.Two potential maneuvers stand out as distinct possibilities.
1. An Ambush Plebiscite
Despite Turnbull's rhetoric, there remains a strong possibility that he will call an early election to capitalise on his 'honeymoon period'. This could very well occur before the May budget, because the budget will require unpopular decisions if we are to resolve our debt and deficit crisis.
There would also be another advantage for Turnbull in calling a "surprise" early election. He could ambush the electorate with the homosexual pseudo-marriage plebiscite before they've had a chance to examine the opposing argument. Indeed, by repeatedly telling people not to expect an early election, Turnbull has set up the perfect ambush.
Remember, a plebiscite is a very different proposition to a referendum. A referendum requires that a particular timetable be adhered to. The parliament must first go through the involved process of passing specific legislation before a referendum can take place. Even then, the referendum itself cannot be held until at least two months after the successful passage of that legislation. Effectively, this means a referendum will always have a lead-up period of at least several months, and usually much longer.
For a plebiscite (a simple, unbinding vote), there are no such legal requirements. Plebiscites are not defined in the Australian Constitution, the Electoral Act or the Referendum Act. They are merely referred to under Section 7A of the Electoral Act as a service that can be provided by the Australian Electoral Commission, subject to an arrangement with any person or body, including private individuals.
In other words, if Turnbull (via the Governor-General) suddenly, and without warning, called an early election, he could spring a plebiscite upon us at the same time. An election requires only 33 days between the issue of the writs and the election day itself. When you take the massive number of pre-poll votes into account, the time is even shorter. With people considering numerous other election issues, and plebiscite opponents living in fear of litigation under anti-speech laws, any opposing argument could be drowned out, and the referendum could sail through on inveterate homosexual indoctrination.
Turnbull knows that groups opposing this plebiscite are just starting to organise and raise money, whereas the homosexual activists have had the microphone and loudspeakers for decades via television, film, news media, and essentially all of pop culture.
Furthermore, recall last August, when the Liberal-National joint party room had a debate on homosexual pseudo-marriage. By a large margin, the party room decided to reject a free vote on the issue, and was instead disposed toward a plebiscite or referendum. Nevertheless, Turnbull defied the party's decision and immediately held a press conference saying he opposed holding a plebiscite. He later said that if a plebiscite were to be held, it should be held before the next election.
It would take tremendous gumption for Turnbull to hold a snap plebiscite before the next election, but it can't be ruled out. Such a tactic would eliminate the need for even the 33-day delay.
Attorney-General George Brandis, who likely supports homosexual pseudo-marriage, has also refused to rule out holding a plebiscite before, or at, the next election, adding that the matter should be dealt with "very soon". Add to this the similar views of Rodney Croome, the leader of the homosexual pseudo-marriage movement, and it is clear that holding the plebiscite at, or before, the next election, has powerful supporters. Clearly this is a deliberate tactic to starve the opposing argument of the airtime needed to turn around decades of pro-homosexual propaganda.
It is my contention that if Turnbull and the media allow the Australian people to be fully informed, with a comprehensive debate, and the vote is unencumbered by fraud, the plebiscite will be defeated in a landslide.
In a secret ballot, where people won't be identified, and won't be subjected to the jack-booted retaliation of fanatical leftists, Australians will be able to fearlessly communicate their true position.
2. Electronic/Online Voting
If democracy is defined as informed public consent, Australia hasn't had it for a very long time. Changes to the electoral system by Labor governments, from the 1980s onwards, have opened the door for electoral fraud, which is widely practiced, and more of these changes are constantly being proposed. These changes include: ink ballot markers replaced with pencil; steel ballot boxes replaced with cardboard; abolishing voter identification requirements; document-free enrolments; the ability to vote at any booth; expanding pre-poll voting; changes that encourage ballot box tampering; auto-enrollment from flawed ATO databases and more.
It should be no surprise that cases of fraud almost invariably favour the leftist-'progressive' side of politics. If we now allow the implementation of electronic voting, a system wholly opaque to the average voter, it would be the full realisation of Australia's pseudo-democratic oligarchy.
And guess who happens to be leading the charge for electronic voting?
Turnbull has repeatedly, of his own volition, pushed electronic voting. For example, he has long campaigned for a online plebiscite on the republic, and was pushing electronic voting after the 2013 election, using the high number of informal votes as the excuse. Of course, whenever he discusses electronic voting he reassures everyone that these systems are completely secure. If you trust him on that, please email me, because i've got some ocean-front property to sell you in Alice Springs.

Over the weekend, I had the privilege of attending the World Dairy Expo. I had never been before, and have only been to a few agriculture conferences and expositions in my life. (Unless you count the small, local "expo" we have at our county fair each year…) Either way, it was an interesting and fun experience. These events are a vital part of maintaining the integrity and ingenuity of an industry. Why are conferences, expositions, and trade shows so vital to the well-being of an industry? There's several reasons.
- Sharing technology. These large events are often where companies launch their newest technologies. This not only helps introduce the new technology to the consumers who may use it, but also introduces it to competing companies. This helps up the ante for the entire industry, and encourages innovation and healthy competition.
- Much like technology, livestock genetics are introduced and traded at these events, especially when livestock shows are involved. The process of selectively breeding high quality animals, showing them, and then selling and trading genetics through animals, embryo transfer, and semen sales helps to maintain the integrity of a breed. This is true for beef cattle, dairy cattle, goats, rabbits, hogs…this is a valuable part of maintaining high quality, diverse, and sound genetics in the animals we rely on for so many products we enjoy.
- Community building. While I love agriculture and jumped at the opportunity to see the cows, heifers, and booths that the World Dairy Expo had to offer, I was more thrilled to see old friends and meet new ones. Many of my Twitter friends (met through #AgChat and #Agvodate) were present, as well as folks I had met through my various internships. I even had the chance to stay with good friends in Wisconsin before and after my trip to the expo. It isn't just personal connections that matter, either. It strengthens the entire community of the industry. Connections are built and maintained through these sort of events.
- Professional networking. This is an especially important component of conferences and conventions for someone in my position. I collected business cards quite regularly throughout the trade show, because these connections could help shape the professional I become someday. It's valuable for college students on the hunt for jobs, but also for seasoned professionals looking to maintain strong connections within their own industry.
- It assists in self-regulation of an industry. What comes to mind when I mention this is the fact that one campaign at World Dairy Expo was, essentially, offensive to women. The booth, for a website and project called "Calfology," included models dressed in schoolgirl outfits, promoting an interactive website. This website's goal was to be a resource for teaching about calf health and a reference library for calf health needs. While I acknowledge the concept is good, their pitch for it, using provocatively dressed women, was not appropriate. Myself and many other women were offended by this, and I think this display is an example of bad taste in agricultural marketing and outreach. It is my hope that folks who did not appreciate this promotion, let Calfology know. My last blog post, The Objectification of Women and PeTA, highlighted my distaste for the use of sexuality in animal rights propaganda. My good friend Amanda pointed out in the comments section that Calfology was following a similar approach. I agree, and I hope that more individuals speak up to highlight their disdain for this. And that, my friends, would be an instance of self-policing the integrity of agriculture.
The calf is cute; don't get me wrong. I'm just incredibly turned off by the nearly-naked legs behind the calf. The bag is too good not to use, but I may end up spray-painting the bag or finding some creative way to cover those legs (without obscuring the calf).
With that said, my experience at World Dairy Expo was fantastic. I saw some beautiful animals, caught up with fantastic friends, and managed to meet new individuals who, I hope, will also become friends. I learned a lot about the dairy industry, I enjoyed a delicious grilled cheese sandwich, and I bought some of the best cheese I have ever eaten. (I bought a bag of garlic cheddar curds, and a small brick of cranberry white cheddar…oh, and some fudge. Delicious, yummy fudge.)
Despite the blemish that Calfology created on World Dairy Expo for me, it was a fabulous experience for me. It was a great example of why conferences are valuable to furthering an industry. Thank you to everyone who made my trip to the World Dairy Expo a success!
Here are some pictures from my trip to World Dairy Expo!

Beginning Sunday, Kansas City's Metro bus service will serve all three terminals at Kansas City International Airport seven days a week, bus officials said.
Until now, the Metro's Interstate 29 service from downtown to KCI has served just Terminal C on weekdays until 7 p.m. Riders had to call for late night or weekend service. But beginning Sunday, the buses will serve all airport terminals hourly from 5:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., seven days a week.
The change is intended to benefit airport workers and passengers, said Cindy Baker, spokeswoman for the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority.
"These were all part of our comprehensive service analysis," Baker said.
The KCATA spent two years studying travel patterns and population shifts along all its routes and made changes to 54 routes. Some adjustments previously were announced for routes south of the Missouri River.
Along with more service to KCI, the bus system is adding Shoal Creek Parkway to the Liberty Express and lowering the fare on that route from $3.25 to $3. Transit is also being introduced to the New Mark and Gashland areas of the Northland on the route that serves Metro North Shopping Center.

Five fantastic reasons to visit Walt Disney World, Florida this year!
I'm off to Florida in just two weeks' time and I'm RIDICULOUSLY EXCITED. I've been promising my gorgeous niece, Amy, that we'd take a trip together, and when this one came up I knew it would be perfect for some quality auntie time. We're heading off with a couple of really lovely friends including my homie Liz to possibly my favourite place in the world, Walt Disney World, for a couple of days of theme park fun (and to visit the new Disney Springs area, which has been on my list – more of this in a minute), and then we're off to the Bahamas on Disney Cruise Line's beautiful ship, the Disney Dream for some relaxing, a bit of pampering, and a bit of beach time on Disney's heavenly private island, Castaway Cay. If you haven't planned your holiday yet, here are five fantastic reasons to visit Walt Disney World Resort, Florida this year:
1 Soarin' Around The World and Star Wars Launch Bay
There's so much going on at the moment with Walt Disney World, it's really hard to pick just one or two to feature, but one of my favourite, favourite rides, Soarin', is being completely updated (I kind of loved it when it was a bit glitchy, but I guess it was time for an update). Soarin' Around The World will feature amazing new 4-D technology and swoosh you over some of the world's most amazing landscapes and man-made wonders too. Another new area will be Star Wars Launch Bay, basically celebrating all things Star Wars, with amazing memorabilia and concept art, the chance to interact with Star Wars characters, special merch and all sorts of Star Wars interactive video games. An absolute must-visit for Star Wars fans.
2 Kilimanjaro Safaris
I know I'm a complete sap, but Kilimanjaro Safaris always make me want to cry. I love bumping along in the open-air jeep through the savanna and getting so close to all the wildlife – the guides are excellent as well. I'm so excited that they're expanding their opening hours – I can't even imagine how gorgeous it's going to be being able to visit the savanna at sunset.
3 Frozen Ever After
You know I love a bit of Frozen, and there's a new Frozen Ever After attraction coming to the Norway Pavilion at Epcot's World Showcase this spring, where you get to visit Elsa's Winter in Summer Celebration and watch Queen Elsa magically create a winter-in-summer day for the kingdom, travel to Elsa's Ice Palace, the icy world of the North Mountain and of course Arendelle.
4 Rivers Of Light
Open by the spring, Rivers of Light at Disney's Animal Kingdom sounds absolutely incredible, with live performances, beautiful floating lanterns, the same incredible water screen technology that we loved at Sleeping Beauty Castle in Paris… I just cannot wait.
5 Disney Springs – formerly Downtown Disney, Disney Springs has been an absolutely massive project and is due to be completed this year. There will be more shops, more incredible restaurants and all sorts of other great things to see and do. I'm really looking forward to seeing what it looks like. I'm especially looking forward to visiting the Ganachery and eating my body weight in chocolate. Ill report back in great detail, no doubt!
One thing I always hear is that it's expensive to visit Disney, but you can still visit for under a grand a person, which I think is really good value considering all the extras you get with Disney holidays like all your transport to the parks and your transfers. Here's a typical example:
7 nights in Orlando with Walt Disney Travel Company, including return economy flights with Virgin Atlantic departing London Gatwick direct to Orlando, accommodation at Disney's All-Star Movies Resort and Disney's 7-Day Ultimate Ticket costs from £930 per person. Price based on two adults and two children (age 3-12) travelling and sharing a standard room and includes transfer to and from Orlando International Airport as well as all applicable taxes and fuel surcharges which are subject to change. Price is based on a departure of 10 March 2016 from London Gatwick. Walt Disney Travel Company is a member of ABTA and is ATOL protected. Prices are correct at the time of print. Prices shown are guide prices and may change at any time, price will be confirmed at time of booking. Please visit our website for current pricing, full terms and conditions and to book: www.disneyholidays.co.uk or call 0800 16 90 730.

Phlebotomy being a profession has begun peaking which is great news for all those thinking about a career out of it. With this, phlebotomists have been getting a lot of careers which drawn numerous interests from the student population. Specializing in clinical support, they are those people who are given the task of the drawing of blood samples from patients and transporting them to the laboratory for testing. This task requires maximum focus and attention, since committing an error may affect the lives of patients. So in order to maintain the medical field's standard for excellence, it is very important that top-notch phlebotomy technicians get hired. And by quality, we mean anyone who has been through extensive accredited phlebotomy training.
For phlebotomy training programs, there isn't any other goal but to produce outstanding phlebotomists who're highly-capable of performing their job in order to maintain the standards of the medical profession. For those thinking about a degree in phlebotomy and those who want a certificate, there are actually programs available which can cater to either of these purposes. If you're looking to get certified, accredited training programs provide just that through in-depth classroom discussions and rigid hands-on training which will cultivate the students into being sought-after phlebotomists later on. There are actually certifying bodies in place requiring the prospective training hours, and in Ohio, it usually is between 12 to 50 weeks. Upon completion, students need to pass a licensing test to get certified and enjoy the benefits surrounding it.
If a degree is what you're after, degree programs are also available requiring you to dedicate an average of 24 months studying advanced venipuncture and branching out to other medical sciences as well. The training may take long, but completion means endless opportunities for career advancement along with higher wage. This will surely be a boost to your marketability and can make it simple for you to educate yourself regarding other medical professions.
In enrolling for a phlebotomy course, you've got a choice between community schools, vocational training centers, private training schools, and even venturing online. To ensure that you are receiving standard education, check if a certain school is accredited by any certifying body. There are many certifying bodies available in the country, and these are few of them: American Society of Phlebotomy Technicians, American Medical Technologists (AMT), and American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP). Training expenses for this kind of program is normally at $1,000 in Ohio inclusive of fees on books, laboratory equipment, and various other add-ons.
In a few states, working as a phlebotomist does not actually require a license. While some does not require, Ohio is among those who stringently credits the practice of the profession to only those who are certified and has a license. Ohio is among those who have high percentage of job positions in the phlebotomy field, and this is where your license is most helpful in gaining edge on other hopefuls. This will be some sort of verification of how equipped you are as a phlebotomist, hence improving your bid to better career options. Before very long, you'll be bombarded with better employment offers that not everyone gets to encounter.

Chopsticks are indispensable for eating a Japanese meal, so it's worth learning how to use them properly
Japanese food is becoming more popular with the many Japanese restaurants that are appearing all over the world. Chopsticks are essential for eating a Japanese meal. In Japan, adults who are not yet able to hold chopsticks correctly are sometimes regarded as an embarrassment, or as having missed out on being taught an essential discipline during their childhood. Foreigners who are not accustomed to using chopsticks can easily acquire good chopstick technique by learning a few of the tricks. This will improve their dinner table etiquette and they will enjoy their Japanese meals even more.
Once you learn how to hold your chopsticks properly, picking up food is a cinch
Chopsticks should be held about 3/5ths of the way up from the pointed end. This creates good balance, which means that the chopsticks look elegant in your hand. Hold the first chopstick—which will be the uppermost chopstick—in the same way that you hold a pen. Slide the second chopstick in under the first, resting it at the base of your thumb, then supporting it with your ring finger. Practice using the chopsticks, only moving the upper chopstick and being careful not to allow the chopsticks to cross over each other.
What is the the use of chopsticks that should not be doing?
There are a few taboos involved in the use of the chopsticks. Or perhaps it would be better to say that there are many taboos. Even among Japanese, there are very few people who know them all. Here, were will run through the minimum number of taboos—in other words, the most common ones—with which you should be familiar.
■ Licking chopsticks
Placing the chopsticks in your mouth and licking them, where there is still some food remaining on them.
This is considered bad manners and children are often scolded by their parents when they do this.
■ Handing things over with chopsticks
Using your chopsticks to pass something to someone who is also using chopsticks.
This is only ever done at funerals, when handling the bones of the dead person, so it is strictly forbidden at the dinner table.
■ Spearing with chopsticks
Using your chopsticks to spear your food, rather than picking it up in the usual way.
This is something that you can easily end up doing during the time that you are still learning how to use chopsticks.
■ Indecisive chopsticks
Waving your chopsticks around above the plate.
This is also easy to end up doing, as you are deciding which dish to select from. It's best to first decide what you want to eat next, and then put your chopsticks in motion.
How does that sound?
It might be all a bit too much at first, so it's probably best to not be too strict at the start, and to improve your chopstick skills bit by bit.

A Sacrifice of Thanksgiving
I will offer you a sacrifice of thanksgiving
and call on the name of the LORD.
Psalm 116 celebrates God's goodness. The psalmist has experienced God's
grace in manifold expressions. God has heard his prayers (116:1). God
delivered him from death (116:3-6), guided his steps (116:8-9), and
freed him from chains (116:16). Therefore, the psalmist loves the Lord
and offers him praise (116:1, 19). Moreover, he proclaims to God: "I
will offer you a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the
Lord" (116:17).
the sacrifices of the Old Testament were offerings that were given when
people wanted to thank God in a special way. These "thank offerings"
were among the "peace offerings" that were presented to the Lord and
then eaten by the people in celebration (Lev. 7:15). The writer of
Psalm 116 may very well have had such an offering in mind when he spoke
of offering "a sacrifice of thanksgiving" to the Lord (116:17).
we don't offer the kind of thank offerings specified in the Old
Testament law. Sometimes we do make special gifts to our church or a
Christian ministry as a way of saying "thank you" to God. But our
"sacrifice of thanksgiving" tends to be more in words and songs as we
lift up our voices to express our gratitude to God.
Yet, the
more we grow in our experience of God's grace, the more we discover
that thanksgiving isn't simply something we say to God, but a way of
living each day. Our "thank offerings" take the form of faithfulness as
we seek to honor the Lord in all that we do. We learn to savor the
goodness of each day, offering ourselves as living sacrifices, living
"thank offerings" to our gracious God.
QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION: How do you offer thanks to God? What might it mean for you to live thankfully each day?
O Lord, you have been so good to me. Too often I take your grace for
granted. But today I'm reminded by Psalm 116 of the manifold ways you
have blessed me. Indeed, you have heard my prayers. You have delivered
me from "deathly" living, guided my steps, and freed me from the chains
of my sin. Therefore, today I offer you a "sacrifice of thanksgiving"
as I call upon your name. Thank you, dear Lord, for all the ways you
have blessed me.
May I live today with a persistent sense of
gratitude. May I be open to your gifts, your presence. May I see your
goodness and give you the credit you deserve. May I thank you, not only
in words, but in how I live all day long.
All praise and thanks be to you, O God. Hallelujah! Amen.
