Ephesians 6:10-17
Finally, build up your strength in union with the Lord and by means of his mighty power. Put on all the armor that God gives you so that you will be able to stand up against the Devil's evil tricks. For we are not fighting against human beings but against the wicked spiritual forces in the heavenly world, the rulers, authorities, and cosmic powers of this dark age. So put on God's armor now! Then when the evil day comes, you will be able to resist the enemy's attacks; and after fighting to the end, you will still hold your ground. So stand ready, with truth as a belt tight around your waist, with righteousness as your breastplate, and as your shoes the readiness to announce the Good News of peace. At all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the Evil One. And accept salvation as a helmet, and the word of God as the sword which the Spirit gives you.
Jesus' whole life was one of power and authority. While He walked on the earth, he commanded the demons, the elements, and all creation. We are to follow his example, to be like Him. 1 John 2:6 says, "if we say that we remain in union with God, we should live just as Jesus Christ did." So why do so few Christians live like Jesus lived? Why do we not see people of God commanding the elements, recognizing and commanding demons, and living victorious lives on this earth?
The scriptures plainly teach that we have authority through Jesus to do the works he did and even greater (Jon 14:12). In Luke 10:19, Jesus told his followers, "Behold I give you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall by any means hurt you." So why do Christian people succumb to the power of the enemy instead of putting the enemy under their feet? Perhaps at least part of the problem is that we do not put on the armor of God daily so we can recognize and resist the tricks of the devil.
Christian Soldiers
In studying the various aspects of being in the military, we may easily compare the military soldier with the Christian soldier. When a man enlists in a branch of the service, everyone knows that one of the first things he must do is get a regulation haircut and regulation uniform. Soon, he looks and dresses like all the others in the branch in which he has enlisted. Therefore, no one stands out. Each soldier is still an individual with his own personality, talents, physical looks and preferences, but the apparel is the same so that when the individuals are together, they form a unit.
When we enlist in the army of God, we are not an island. We are to be a unit. That does not mean that we are not individuals, but we are a corporate body made up of many members, just as the army is a unit, a body made up of many soldiers. And just as soldiers in a military unit wear the same uniforms, members of the body of Christ are instructed to put on the same uniform, the armor of God.
We are told in Galatians 3:27 that when we are baptized into Christ, we have put on Christ. In Romans 13:12, we put on the armor of light, and in verse 14, we put on the Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 4:24 instructs us to put on the new man. Then in Colossians 3:8-14, we are told to put off anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communications and lying—all the old man and his deeds—and to put on the new man—bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering, forgiveness, forbearance, and love.
As a soldier in the army of God, we must choose the right apparel. We must be dressed and always ready for battle.
A soldier must learn and practice using his weapons so that he will know its range and power and not be afraid of it. Second Timothy 2:15 admonishes the believer to "study (the Word) to show himself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth." He must practice for accuracy, just as believers are instructed to "Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might" Ephesians 6:10.
Soldiers must learn to march in step, in unity. One person out of step will throw the others off. He can get back into step and the platoon can compensate and get back in sync. However, if many are out of step, the exercise is almost impossible to complete. Practicing together as a group is very important to establish unity. Soldiers must work as a team, complementing one another in weaknesses and strengths. Likewise, Christian soldiers must pray together, socialize, and work together as a team to accomplish the purposes of God in the church. In Ephesians 4:1-3, Paul implores believers to "walk worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace."
A soldier is issued supplies he needs for his job, including manuals of instruction. God has given His soldiers ministry gifts and gifts of the Spirit and a manual—the Word (1 Corinthians 12 and 14, and Ephesians 4:11). In this Manual, we can find all we need to live a victorious life on this earth.
Finally, a soldier receives orders which tell him where to go, when to go, how to get there, and what to do when he gets there. We have orders to "go to all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" Mark 16:15).
So, what is the armor of God? Exactly what does it mean to "gird your loins with truth? Truth, righteousness, salvation, peace—those things are abstract and cannot be literally "put on" like a shirt and a pair of pants. How do we put on something that is abstract? When we spiritually discern, or understand the Word of God, using scripture to interpret scripture with much prayer and allowing the Holy Spirit to teach us, we can understand how to arm ourselves against the tricks of the enemy. (See 1 Corinthians 2:10-14).
Gird Your Loins with Truth
First, Paul tells us to gird our loins about with truth. We need to first understand that the loin is the part of our body that has to do with reproduction. And second, that the truth is the Word of God. Webster defines gird as "to encircle, to surround, to equip." If we encircle, surround and equip ourselves with the Word of God, we will reproduce the truth when we open our mouths (out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks). Therefore, our words will line up with the Word of God. We will be secure in the truth and the enemy cannot trick us with lies and make us believe that we are weak, sick, poor defeated people.
The Word of God is "a lamp unto my feet and a light to my path" (Psalms 119:105). Psalms 119 is filled with principles, wisdom, and David's feelings and experiences with the Word. The Word brings life, light, and strength to the believer. Without it, the believer will spiritually die.
Most of us have been programmed to speak what we hear all around us instead of what the Word of God says because that's all we have known. We can look at the life of Jesus and learn that He was careful to speak the truth, therefore producing life everywhere He went. We say, "Oh, it doesn't mean anything, it's just a figure of speech" when we say things like "I was tickled to death." But, in all honesty, that figure of speech is in opposition to the Word. Proverbs 17:32 says, "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine." Which is the truth, a figure of speech or the Word of God? Which produces life? When we fill ourselves with the Word of God, with truth, we will speak the truth and see a change in our lives because of it.
The way we gird ourselves with the Word is to prayerfully read and study it diligently. We must put the Word inside us—consume it and feed on it until it consumes us. By reading John 1:1-5 and 14, we learn that the Word is Jesus, the Christ. Therefore, when we consume the Word, we are putting Christ (the anointed One with the anointing) inside us. Colossians 1:27 reveals that Christ in you is the hope of glory. And what is this hope? Isaiah 11:9 speaks of the day or time of the generation of Jesus, saying, "for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea," and Habakkuk writes of his vision which, "is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak and not lie (Habakkuk 2:3)." This vision is "the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. (2:14).
What is this knowledge? The Word of God. What is this glory? Christ in you. How will the knowledge of this glory fill the earth? When Christians are filled with the Word, they are filled with Christ. The more they are filled with Christ, the more they will be 'Christ-like'. The more the earth is filled with these Christ-like people, the more the glory will fill the earth. But, you say, this will never happen because the earth will be burned up when Christians are raptured. While it is true that this carnal 'earth' will be destroyed with the judgment of a God who is 'a consuming fire' (Hebrews 12:29), the righteous will inherit the earth which was made by God for His pleasure and will not be submitted in defeat to a defeated devil. This is plainly stated in many scriptures such as Psalms 37:9, 10, 11, 18, 22, 29, 34, 37, 38; Proverbs 2:21-22; Genesis 8:21; Isaiah 1:9; Psalms 115:16; Isaiah 60:21, and Matthew 5:5. Then, the new heaven and new earth, the glorified body of Christ, which has been changed into immortality 'in the twinkling of an eye,' will cover the earth—the anointed One with the anointing filling His people. So, we are to girt ourselves up with the Truth, the Word, Jesus Christ.
The Breastplate of Righteousness
Next, Paul says to put on the breastplate of righteousness. The breastplate covers the heart area or the area of the emotions. We are created to be emotional people. We experience happiness, sadness, loneliness, fright, surprise, confusion, love, hate, and many other emotions daily. Righteousness is simply right standing with God. Second Corinthians 5:21 says, "Him who knew no sin God made to be sin on our behalf; that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." Righteousness is the ability to stand in the presence of Father God without the sense of guilt or inferiority. It is to be made 'right' or worthy through the blood of Jesus Christ.
We know from the scripture that Jesus died for our sins and that on the third day He arose from the dead after He had put our sin away and satisfied the claims of justice as our substitute (Romans 10:9-10). When we take Him as our Savior, confessing Him as our Lord (Master), we receive God's nature and become His righteousness. Then we no longer should live by our emotions but can live by the Truth. When we feel like we are worth nothing, we know that we are created for the glory of God, formed and made by God (Isaiah 43:7) and that He delights in us because we are the righteousness of God through Christ (Proverbs 11:20). When we feel fearful and/or unloved, we can go to the Truth and know that God is always with us and nothing can separate us from the love of God (Romans 8:38-39).
For every emotion, there is a truth we can find to guide us to a victorious, joyful life. When you feel happy, read Psalms 144:15; sad, Philippians 4:4; angry, Ephesians 4:26; afraid, Proverbs 28:1; hurt, Ephesians 4:32; worried, Philippians 4:6-7; lonely, Psalms 132:4 and John 14:18; shy, 2 Timothy 1:7; stupid, 1 Corinthians 2:16. (Don't just sit there, look these up and read them! In fact, memorize them. You never know when you will get emotional about something in the middle of the day with no Bible.) Any emotion we feel must give way to the fact that we are the righteousness of God.
Shod the Feet
Then we are to have our feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God and brought sin into the world, man became separated from a holy God by sin. It says in Ephesians 2:14-15 and 18, Jesus Christ broke down the partition sin had built between God and man and became our peace with God. This is the gospel of peace. Because of this, mankind can again have a personal relationship with God. We can "come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need" Hebrews 4:16. Our feet are the parts of the body which we are given to walk, so once we realize that only by Jesus do we have peace with the Father, we are commanded to walk in peace and carry this message of peace to others (2 Corinthians 13:11; Hebrews 12:14). Jesus says in Matthew 5:9 that peacemakers shall be called the children of God.
Shield of Faith
We are to now be armed with the Shield of Faith. The shield of the Roman soldier was large enough to cover him completely once he knelt behind it. Our shield is faith. In Hebrews 11 we learn how the faith of our forefathers kept them during times of troubles. They simply believed God. When He told Abraham to leave his country, Abraham left. When He promised him a son, Abraham expected one and received one even though he was old. Noah built a great boat without seeing the rain, then gathered the animals and entered with them and with his family, solely on the Word of God that a flood was coming.
Romans 12:3 says that God has given to every man a measure of faith. This faith grows when the man hears the Word of God (Romans 10:15). Hearing the Word means to believe it and to do it. When we read in the Word that we are the righteousness of God, we can believe it, speak and act like the righteousness of God. When the Word says "by His stripes we were healed," we can believe it, speak it, and act like we are healed. Most of the time we believe we are sick, talk about how sick we are, and act like we are sick, therefore, we are sick. When the Word says we are redeemed by the blood, we know we are redeemed and we no longer have to walk in a sinful state. And if we sin, Jesus is our advocate and we can receive forgiveness for every sin. (1 John 2:1).
This faith shields us from the fiery darts of the enemy when he tries to convince us that we are nothing, lost, sick, desperate, down and out. By our faith in the Word of God, we know that we are the child of a King, healed, the head and not the tail, strong, rich (let the poor say I am rich and the weak say I am strong, 2 Corinthians 8:9; Joel 3:10), blessed and seated with Christ in heavenly places (Ephesians 1:3, 20; 2:66).
The Helmet of Salvation
A helmet shields the head including the brain, the ears, and the eyes. This is what we think, what we hear, and what we see. Salvation is deliverance. We have been delivered from the clutches of the adversary, translated from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light. With the helmet of salvation, our eyes, ears, and minds are protected so that we allow only right and true thoughts to dwell in our minds and receive only those things that are true according to God's Word.
Remember the story of Elisha and his servant who were surrounded by the Syrian army in 2 Kings 6:15-17. Elisha's servant was fearful, but only because he could not see the whole situation. He saw the army surrounding them and he thought there was no chance for victory. Elisha prayed for God to open the young man's eyes, allowing him to see that the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire, a mighty army of angels ready to fight for Elisha.
When we look at the circumstances around us, we cannot see what is going on in the spiritual world. We cannot see with our natural eyes what God is doing on our behalf and what he is working in us and for us. This is when faith steps in. This is when we meditate on the Word of God and declare the Word of God. We resist wrong thoughts about ourselves and others. We carefully guard what enters our minds through our eyes and our ears. In Psalms 101:3, David says, "I will set no wicked thing before my eyes." What we see may be opposite what the Word says, and we do not have to receive it. What we hear may be wrong, so we should not listen to it.
The enemy may try to convince you that you are not saved, that you are nobody, that you won't be healed, that your prayers will not be answered, but your helmet of salvation will guard you against such thoughts when you have it on. We remember that we have the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16). Philippians 4:8 gives us a list of things on which we are to think. The Amplified version says it like this: Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God's word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things [center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart].
Sword of the Spirit
Finally, we take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God. This is the only defensive weapon we are given to fight the fight of faith. When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness, he used the Word of God to fight the enemy. The Word will always overcome the enemy when we use it to resist him. That is why it is essential to learn the Word, to 'hide it in our hearts' and use it in every situation we face. The Word should be so much a part of us that it is the first thing that comes to our minds when something comes up. We should learn to effectively use the Word to defend ourselves and others against the devil.
Just thinking the Word is not enough. We must remove it from the sheath and wield it (speak it out) for it to be effective. It helps to declare the Word as we face each new day and any situation we may face during the day. The scriptures say "from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks," so whatever we have the most of in our hearts is what will come out of our mouths. Therefore, we must fill our hearts with God's Word to protect ourselves and live victoriously.
We are to constantly speak the truth so we can cause the truth to be evident in our lives and the lives of others. Proverbs 18:21 tells us that "life and death are in the power of the tongue and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." We know from Genesis chapter one that the worlds were spoken into existence, and so we know that words have the power to create. Knowing these truths, we can surmise that with our words, much of our world is created. When we realize that by our words we are justified and by our words we are condemned, we know that we had better watch our words. Words are powerful. Mark 11:23 says it plainly: "I assure you that whoever tells this hill to get up and throw itself in the sea and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him." When we learn to speak the Word of God over our circumstances and situations, we will see positive results.
Put on the Armor of God
Putting on the Armor of God should be a daily practice, at least until the principles are rooted strongly in the heart. Then the practice should be renewed periodically so we are always aware of our battle array and in constant preparation for battle. We cannot afford to become complacent for a moment, lest we become defeated believers. Just as we properly dress ourselves to fit every social occasion, we should properly dress in the attire God has provided as we face each day's battle.
So now, let's put on the Armor of God.
Father, I thank you for your Word. I thank you for the blood of Jesus Christ by which I am redeemed. I am strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. I put on the whole armor of God.
I gird my loins about with truth that I may walk in the truth and reproduce truth. I hide your Word in my heart that I might not sin against you. I am your sheep and I know your voice, therefore I know the truth from a lie.
I put on the breastplate of righteousness to cover my emotions. I refuse to be controlled by my emotions, but I will live by the truth of your Word. Thank you, Father, that I am made the righteousness of God through Christ Jesus.
I put on my feet the preparation of the gospel of peace. Thank you, Jesus, for breaking down the wall between the Father and me so I am free from sin and have peace with God. I will now carry this message of peace to others, preparing them to accept the Gospel of peace with God. Jesus, you are my peace.
I take up the shield of faith to protect myself from the fiery darts of the enemy. No matter what he tells me or tries to make me believe, I know I am saved and my Father is always with me. Nothing can separate me from His love.
I put on the helmet of salvation to protect my mind, ears, and eyes from things that would harm me. I guard my mind because I have the mind of Christ. I am careful what I watch, listen to, and think because I want only the Truth in my mind. I will think on the things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous and praiseworthy.
I take up the Sword of the Spirit, the Word of God, to defend myself and others. Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. No matter how circumstances appear, I know your Word is true and will come to pass. I can rest in your Word and not be bothered, worried, or afraid of anything. I will study your Word to show myself approved to You. Thank you, God, for your Word.

We've said this time and time again, but it's been a while and we have a lot of new readers. If you're using a Wi-Fi hotspot and it's not working so great, get an external Wi-Fi adapter. We have quite a collection of them over the years, but we recently bought a new one to go with our Windows 7 64 bit computer. Here's the one we purchased, a Hawking HWDN2:
There are lots of choices, just look for 'Wireless Network Adapter.' It will also say 802.11 somewhere in the description. 802.11b is the oldest technology, then comes g, and the latest and greatest is n.
Turn off your Internal Wi-Fi
It's important to understand that these do not 'boost' the Wi-Fi adapter built in to your computer. They 'replace' it. You should turn off the internal adapter in your computer in order to properly use an external adapter. See the Geeks on Tour 'Show-Me-How' video 'Turn Off your Internal Wi-Fi.'
Improving our Wi-Fi Experience
When we parked at our current RV park, and tried to connect to the Wi-Fi, it took a while to make the connection and browsing was very slow. So we took our new Hawking Wi-Fi adapter out of the box, used the included CD to install the drivers, plugged the adapter into a USB port and turned off the wireless switch on the computer.
This time the connection happened a little faster, but, more importantly, the browsing was faster. Still not as good as our DSL at our home park, but better nonetheless. Wi-Fi is 2-way radio. Low-powered, 2-way radio. The radio and antenna built in to your laptop computer is often not good enough for the distances and obstructions in an RV park. Plugging in an external adapter (radio and antenna are both inside) with a wire to your USB port allows you to move the adapter over to a window, or even outside a window so as to get an unobstructed line-of-sight to the source of the Wi-Fi – the Access Point. Unobstructed line-of-sight is the most important factor in a good Wi-Fi connection. Notice, in the photo of our adapter above, that I have it pointed out a window. Notice also that I have the metal mini-blinds raised above the adapter. Those metal mini-blinds can make a big difference in your connection!

I looked at the Hawking antenna you refer to and found two — the HWDN2 and also the HWDN1. The only difference besides price seems to be 159n vs. 300 n. Can you explain what that means?
Thanks so much for the service you provide. I read your articles often from the RV.net blog and have often benefited from your tips and info, as with this current post. Do you have a post that touches on antennas? I have a campground and provide free wifi. I have a land line in an RV space centrally located in my small 30 space park and a router installed off of DSL in that RV. It has served very well throughout the year but when I'm full during peak season, the large number of RV's directly on the left and right of the router cause a break in the line of sight for the RV's at those end sites. As a provider, can I install some kind of antenna on top of the RV with the router to heighten the reception by improving line of site? Does that make sense? What do I shop for? Appreciate advise. Thank you Teri

Commercial Floor Drains
Floor Drains
Floor drains clog and this usually happens in commercial kitchens and restaurants as well in manufacturing factories, storage warehouses and facilities, dry cleaners, service and livery cleaning services.Floor drains need regular cleaning and maintenance in order to prevent environmental and health hazards.
For floor drain cleaning, de-clogging and maintenance in all commercial and industrial facilities, Pro-Rooter has the best services. Pro-Rooter offers full-service drainage cleaning and we are well-equipped with all the necessary tools and equipment. Thus, we can assure you that we can deal with all industrial and commercial floor drain issues. Please call Pro-Rooter at 435-635-FLOW for more details and to set a date and time for one of our technicians to handle your floor drainage needs.
How Floor Drains Get Clogged
The most common reason why floor drains in industrial facilities clog is due to mop water containing large amount of toxic substances and pollutants – this can then cause pipe corrosion. Additionally, daily/weekly warehouse and storage floors mopping can result in accumulated sludge that can clog floor drains. Manufacturing facilities' floors can also get clogged due to considerable build-up of different objects like rejected scraps and packing materials that may find their way to the floor drains.
Restaurants and commercial kitchen floor drains can become dirty resulting in clogging because food particles and other things – like grease, dust and oil – may flow with the dirty water down to the floor drain. When sinks overflow the common problems include clogging due to detergents, soap and other pollutants that cause bacteria growth and pipe corrosion.
Laundry shops, livery cleaning and dry cleaners also generate large amount of waste water that are loaded with chemicals, detergents, soaps and other solid materials that can overload the floor drain and clog it.
Effects of Damaged and Clogged Floor Drains
TIt is a fact that having damaged and clogged floor drains cleaned and repaired can be really expensive. It can be difficult to get rid of all the pollutants that clogged and caused the damage. If cleaning is not enough repair or replacement of the drain can be one of the best solutions. Either of these options can be really costly but needed. If the clogs or the damages are not properly taken care of, germs and bacteria may cause environmental and health hazards; thus it is essential to have the floor drains regularly cleaned and maintained.
Pro-Rooter is one company that you can truly trust. We have the expertise to deal with any kind of floor drain issues, which could include de-clogging, cleaning, repair and regular maintenance. For more information or to set up an appointment for your floor drain needs, you can call us at 435-635-FLOW. We have courteous and professional technicians that will attend to your needs as soon as possible.

Brentwood based company, The Cheeky Panda, has been supplying the market with eco-friendly bamboo-based toilet paper since January 2016. Founders, Chris Forbes and Julie Chen identified a gap in the market for a sustainable alternative to the tissue product on a trip to China to investigate bamboo. They spent the next eight months on research and development and their first products were sold in August 2016.
The Cheeky Panda's toilet tissue doesn't contain the chemicals usually applied to traditional toilet paper or recycled paper. The Cheeky Panda's products also have amazing sustainability credentials. The product is 100% biodegradable and bamboo is the world's fastest growing plant. It grows 30 times faster than trees and does not require replanting after harvest due to it being a grass.
"It's not just about creating something new, it's also making a high quality product that on its own would sell well anyway. We wanted to show that you can have high quality low carbon eco product that doesn't cost the earth."
Julie Chen, Co-founder, The Cheeky Panda
How INVEST Essex have assisted The Cheeky Panda
The Cheeky Panda approached INVEST Essex at the start of their journey with a range of support needs for product distribution in the market place. They initially asked for help with logistics, risk and operational management for fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) products and retail and supermarket tendering guidance.
INVEST Essex have assisted The Cheeky Panda in setting up a global distribution network through introducing them to 3rd party shipping, warehouse and fulfilment suppliers. They also introduced them to the Essex Innovation Programme who allocated them a mentor with extensive experience in FMCG products and retail and also a PR and marketing expert. The mentoring and guidance resulted in some initial brand design changes and contributed to the numerous awards that the company have received. They also assisted with additional marketing support to the retail channel which helped aid them in stocking 100 stores with their toilet paper.
'INVEST Essex gave us valuable advice on our supply chain and the contacts to negotiate a very good rate'
Chris Forbes, CEO, The Cheeky Panda
In the early stages, the company ran a successful crowdfunding campaign on Crowdfunder to test the market appetite and paid for their first container shipment from China to Essex with the money raised. Since then they have taken on private investment and ran a live equity campaign on Seedrs equity crowd funding platform at a £5 million valuation. After hitting their target in just a few days they decided to overfund by 135%. With this new investment they hired a managing director, an experienced data analyst and are recruiting salespeople.
How The Cheeky Panda have expanded
The company now sells a range of environmentally sustainable bamboo tissue products to an array of high street retailers and companies including Amazon, ethicalsuperstore.com and As Nature Intended. Additionally, since its inception, The Cheeky Panda has been the recipient of a whole host of awards. They have been named one of the Innovation50 companies in Essex and have won an award through the Big Business Boost competition which aims to identify the county's most exciting business ideas and concepts.
Future plans
The company plans to expand their product range which now includes paper towels and napkins. They aim to develop sensors for towel dispensers, together with a major facilities service provider, in order to reduce their carbon footprint and drive up overall efficiency. The company also has intentions of going global and is already available to purchase online in France, Germany, Spain and Netherlands.

The Scars...
I grew up with you. I loved you. I defended you.
Was it all a mistake?
I don't know how much more I can take.
As I walk, your scars are glaring sorely on the street corner. I become afraid for my child. For our future. I know something has to change. I used to see you healed. Now I only see the scars.
and it scares me.
The wind blows and entangles the back of my hair. I clumsily try to tame it with my numb fingers and I realize that the tangles don't hurt as much as the destruction I see around us. My eyes glance to the sidewalk as I scurry between residents, avoiding eye contact at all cost, all while holding the hand of the innocent who is taking it all in - not knowing the wrongs I see.
I never want him to be afraid like me.
A mother should hold her head up high.
I feel my anxiety pills are failing just as we reach our destination.
An environment I feel comfortable in. A familiar face and smile. I feel saved. My breathing calms.
Sometimes you just have to let go of things you cannot change.
Sometimes you just have to feel like you are doing something to cause change.
Hello..this is my blog. I bought this fancy theme and I don't know what to write here just yet. Maybe one day remind me I have to write something inspiring here?

A Hamilton businessman is offering a £1000 reward for the arrest and conviction of a hit-and-run driver who knocked down a beloved 13st dog on Sunday.
Eddie McKenna of Border Roofing Ltd put up the money after hearing that a St Bernard called Jax was left for dead on the town's Hillhouse Road.
The two-year-old family pet got out of its Hamilton home at around 7.15pm and was hit by a car which then sped off.
Jax suffered a collapsed lung and a fractured leg, which would have been amputated if he had survived.
However, owners Kris and Kelly Anne Holtz were told by the vet that he wouldn't pull through and sadly Jax was put down yesterday afternoon (Monday, November 28).
Eddie, who is from Quarter, was disgusted by the news of the hit and run and couldn't bare to think what could have happened had a child been hit.
He knows the dog's owners well and said: "If that was my dog, my grandson would have been running out behind him and it could have been him this person hit.
"Whoever did it needs to be caught, they can't get away with it.
"I actually watched that dog being born and have watched him grow into the beautiful dog that he was."
Eddie is offering £1000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the driver.
He added: "The cash reward is a small token to pay in the hope that it will encourage someone to come forward with information which would lead to the arrest and conviction of the callous person who drove off after hitting Jax.
"Somebody out there knows something."
A spokesperson for Police Scotland said: "There was an incident at 7.15pm on Sunday, November 27, where a dog was knocked down. Police are trying to trace the driver of the vehicle. If there are any witnesses of this incident, could they please contact PC Johnstone at Hamilton Police Station on 101."

War with crazy types
Is it possible that Bashar al-Assad is simply just crazy?

An 'A' for effort: Experimental evidence on UN Security Council engagement and support for US military action
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has often adopted resolutions to authorise the American use of force. What do these resolutions communicate to the wider public overseas? Will they increase levels of support for US military action? A survey study [link to article] we have conducted in Japan finds not only that UNSC resolutions increase levels of support, but also that resolutions which failed due to a Chinese or Russian veto will still secure high levels of support for the use of force. If a draft resolution is withdrawn, however, or the US gives up on diplomacy, then public support falls. Foreign public opinion gives an 'A' for diplomatic effort when the US at least tries to pass a resolution; self-withdrawal is the worst case for the US.Read More »

NYSEG to Inspect Nearly 10,000 Wooden Transmission Poles Work Is Part of Company's Continuing Effort to Provide Safe, Reliable Service
Rochester, NY – NYSEG, a subsidiary of Iberdrola USA, has begun traversing thousands of miles of transmission line rights of way to inspect nearly 10,000 wooden transmission poles for decay and other damage. These inspections help head off potential problems that could lead to power interruptions. The company's objective is to inspect all of its 80,000+ wooden transmission poles every 10 years.
"This massive project is another piece in the intricate puzzle of what we do to ensure safe, reliable service to our 878,000 electricity customers," said Mark S. Lynch, president of NYSEG and RG&E. "Along with increased investment in our system and stepped up line clearance work, we are leaving nothing to chance when it comes to the service our customers expect and deserve."
In June, NYSEG has checked or will be checking transmission poles in the company's Brewster, Mechanicville, Oneonta and Liberty divisions, as well as the poles from Homer City, PA to the New York State border; in July, work will be done in NYSEG's Binghamton, Plattsburgh, Lancaster and Lockport divisions. NYSEG expects to complete work in August in its Hornell, Elmira and Ithaca divisions.
In addition to the inspections that will help identify poles in need of repair or replacement, NYSEG will be treating some poles to increase their longevity. The preservatives used are approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, and will be applied under the supervision of licensed applicators.
Any poles infested with carpenter ants also may be treated with an approved insecticide.
"Decaying or insect-damaged poles that are treated last one and a half times longer than untreated poles," Lynch said. "And since it costs between 50 and 100 times less to treat a pole than to replace it, this work helps us control energy costs in the long run."

Travelling with your family for leisure is one thing. Travelling for a business trip is an entirely different matter altogether. Business travels are often hectic, unpredictable and stressful affairs. Business travellers will need to deal with work deadlines and performance demands. This is the reason why finding a business accommodation is such an important element for a good trip.
Hotel rooms in the Southbank region are very popular amongst businessmen who often stay in it and are familiar with the attached conveniences. What many don't know is that serviced apartments in Southbank offer more conveniences and features than most of the hotels in the area.

Staying in at Corporate Keys' serviced apartments in Southbank can give you all these options, and more. We are simply the best option when you want to be perfectly comfortable while traveling for work reasons.
It's true that a hotel runs like a well-oiled machine when it comes to service. They can also accept luxury requests such as having a room with a high view, or being at a central city location.

We are the first choice when it comes to convenience in lodgings within the Southbank area. Our serviced apartments have everything you'll need to function without leaving your quarters every now and then. You get complete furnishings with an eye for corporate accommodations.

You can immerse yourself in art by visiting Melbourne Exhibition Centre and the Arts Centre. You can take leisure time off to get to the Crown Casino. What's more, our locations allow for easy commuting to and fro Southbank.

They go from level 1 to 88 in just 40 seconds!
The Arts Centre Melbourne is one of the busiest performing venues in Australia. It hosts more than 4400 public events and performances and houses 200 years of performance memorabilia in the aspects of Australian opera, circus, dance and theatre. When the show at the stage is over, you can head on to the guided tours or take a look at the Sunday crafts market, the foyer's art collection, a guided tour or eat in one of the many bars and restaurants in the vicinity.
Corporate Keys is located within the heart of Southbank, the city's recreation and tourism spot. The experience is simply amazing. You get all the tourist attractions such as theatres, concert halls, world-renowned aquariums, galleries and art in museums. At night, the cities sparkle with the gleam of establishments welcoming tourists and visitors to relax and dine in.

Budleigh Salterton 2 – Sidmouth Town 3
Morrison Bell Cup Final Tuesday 29th May 2018
The Vikings rounded off the season in style by lifting the Morrison Bell Cup at Ottery St Mary on Tuesday night. With Reserve team management duo Gary Bargery and Paddy Thomas taking charge, after the departure of Josh Stunell, it was a different look Viking side that brought the trophy back to Manstone.
Town started brightly and with two minutes on the clock Ferenc Bodor smashed a shot that took a deflection off Salts manager Kevin Hill to give the Vikings the lead. Minutes later Tony Cox's free kick was headed in at the near post by Jamie Newbury to double the lead. Shortly after Rob Knight pounced on some indecision in the Budleigh defence to make it three after six minutes. With the Vikings rampant Budleigh looked to Hill for guidance and slowly but surely they recovered their composure and stopped leaking goals. Town to their immense credit defended with great spirit and composure limiting Budleigh to a few long shots that rarely troubled Robbie Powell between the sticks
The back four of Matt Colson, Matt Clenahan, Jamie Newbury and Tony Cox stood firm and kept their discipline
The two holding midfielders Ty Wellman and Ben Clay shielded the back four and broke up the play this frustrating their opponents. With Bodor, Connor Swingler and the impressive Louis Spalding supporting Rob Knight up front the counter attack was Town's best chance of adding to their healthy lead.
The second half saw the favourites resort to playing long, hopeful balls up the middle which the defence dealt with time and again, On the hour mark a defence splitting pass saw Aaron Denny reduce the arrears and Budleigh had got a lifeline. The Vikings stood firm and got back to scrapping and closing down the space denying Budleigh the chance to build momentum. With fifteen minutes to go Budleigh got a second which they hoped would see Town buckle. This didn't happen and with the introduction of young Ollie Jarrett and Matt Salter to give the injured Colson and Man of The Match Spalding a rest, Town defended their one goal advantage to give Town Skipper Jamie Newbury the opportunity to lift the cup.
The managers would like to thank the players with all the disruption as the set up was different and the players response was fantastic as they limited Butleigh's space and time on the ball. A big thanks to Dec Lines who covered the already injured Powell and supported his teammates from start to finish.
Cullompton Res 4 – Sidmouth Town Res 1
Macron D&E League Saturday 19th May 2018
What looked like a fairly straight forward victory for Cully was anything but. The Vikings down to bare bones were comfortably the better side in the first half but entered the interval 2-1 down. A much-improved home side punished Town with two top corner finishes midway through the second half. Earlier Cullompton had taken the lead when a free header eluded Rob Gluchowski in the Vikings goal, Scott Hughes then replied turning his marker and smashing the ball in off the upright after ten minutes. For the rest of the half Town opened up the hosts defence with Ferenc Bodor causing problems on the left. Hughes went close again and Joe Miller was probing away on the opposite flank. Bodor himself hit the post and wasted another two good opportunities he would have normally taken. As it was those missed chances would come back to haunt the Vikings.
Not a good way to finish a productive season but undoubtedly the highlight was winning the Devon Senior Cup Final in April.
A nice touch as the minutes ticked away was seeing Joe, Ben, Jack and father Jon Miller all on the pitch playing at the end of the game.
Sidmouth Town Res 1 – Lapford 1
Macron D&E League Div1 Wednesday 9th April 2018
Town picked up a point in their last home league game of the season. Struggling to field their normal side after four games in seven days the Vikings did well to get something out of the game. Starting brightly Town took the game to Lapford with Aidy Parr and Scott Hughes linking up well, at the other end Ben Clay, Nick Gingell, Reuben Rafaell and Matt Salter were comfortable with the returning Rob Glukowski between the sticks, Parr opened the scoring rifling in a low drive past the helpless visiting keeper. Shortly after a clash of heads involving the Vikings top scorer saw Parr withdrawn at the break.
The second half saw the introduction of Tom Moore and he again linked up well with Hughes who was running on empty. Lapford had a lot of pressure but the defence held out until the dying seconds when a loose ball was steered home at the far post.
The Res have one game left v Cullompton away on Saturday 19th May 3pm ko.
Chard Res 3 – Sidmouth Town Res 1
Macron D&E League Div 1 Monday 7th May 2018
On a roasting Bank Holiday Monday, the Vikings Reserve Team squad was stretched to its limits. On a day when the club struggled to field two out of the four teams competing this season, questions need to be asked. Starting up the steep slope the young Town side played some neat football up to the opposing area but didn't trouble the home goalie. Midway through the half Chard took the lead when Matt Skelding, in goal due to unavailability and illness saved with his legs only for the ball to rebound onto Matt Colson's shins and finish in the net. Undeterred the Vikings continued to play good approach play and an equaliser was the likely outcome.Matt Salter crossed to the far post where Ben Miller volleyed in using his side foot, Half time approached and it was vital that Town went in level unfortunately a mistake trying to clear their lines led to the ball breaking kindly for Chard and it was 2-1 at the interval.
The second half saw Sidmouth press and have the lion's share of the goalmouth action. A superb double save and an Aidy Parr shot which hit the inside of the post but apparently didn't cross the line were just two of a hatful of chances created before another mistake was to gift the hosts their third and final goal of a bizarre match.
These games are dreaded for managers, players and Clubs as the number of matches crammed in to the end of season make it farcical.
Wednesday sees the Vikings fourth game in seven days hosting Lapford 7-30 ko.
Sidmouth Town Reserves 2 – Chard Town Res 2
Macron D&E League Div1 Saturday 5th May 2018
The Vikings took a point from Saturdays encounter at Manstone Lane.
Falling behind after 20 minutes worse was to follow as Chard dominated the game and doubled the lead after half an hour. Town looked a shadow of the side that has played some lovely football this season. Chard looked solid and were certainly a better side than their league position suggested. The Vikings were getting frustrated as the final pass was poor too often.
After an exchange of views at Half time Town upped their game but still needed a spark to lift their spirits, Scott Hughes was to be the catalyst for the upturn in fortunes as he rifled home a great through ball, Town were now the dominant side, Joe Gosse then rifled in a shot cum cross that took a wicked deflection to level the tie. Town were then camped in the Chard half desperately trying to find a winner but came up just short.

The Empire State Building's lightning rod got put to good use during this lightning / thunder storm — it got zapped by a direct hit! How neat is that?
And no, the ESB isn't leaning. That was a tripod malfunction that couldn't be adjusted. Oops!
