Alton Christian Church
offers Easter Bible study
Alton Christian Church will offer an "Easter Experience" six-week Bible study series beginning Feb. 24 from 6:30-8 p.m. lead by Gary Zeller.
According to event organizers, "The 'Easter Experience' is a powerful series on the days leading up to Christ going to the cross to die for our sins and the impact it has made on our world today. Come out for this riveting dramatic storytelling by Kyle Idleman on cinematic screen and join us in small group discussion."
Nowadays, all you hear and see on television is something related to politics. It's an important topic indeed.
So many yearn for the top spot of honor in our culture today. The whole idea of being popular and prestigious is appealing to most of us.
However, the Bible tells us a lot about what God wants of us, and how being the most popular or being on top is of little value to God. Ecclesiastes was written by Solomon, who had all of the money, power and possessions a man could want.
Circle this date on your calendar: Feb. 15, "John Frum Day."
Celebrated on the remote South Pacific island of Tanna, on John Frum Day islanders dress up as American G.I.s, with "USA" painted in red on their bare chests and backs and march in perfect step with bamboo rifles on their shoulders.
It's interesting how we often try to follow God's rules on our terms, not his.
How many times have we thought about trying to quit sinning, yet plan on doing it again?
I know I have, and in my mind often think, "Well maybe next week or next month or later in life I will stop doing that."
The pharaoh of Egypt in the book of Exodus kept putting off God's commands when he kept the children of Israel in slavery. God brought about plague after plague against the tyranny of the Egyptians.
Sand Spring hosts
women's chorale March 4
Sand Spring Baptist Church will host a women's chorale of the Kentucky Baptist Chorales on March 4 at 7 p.m.
The Kentucky Baptist Chorales are comprised of music ministers, pastors and church members from congregations across the commonwealth. The groups perform around the state a few times each year. They also undertake mission projects in Kentucky, elsewhere in North America and overseas.
Sand Spring Baptist church is located at 1616 Harrodsburg Road.
I am often perplexed by those who do not believe the Bible is real or believe in Jesus.
Hundreds of original manuscripts of the Bible exist today. Hundreds of eyewitnesses saw Jesus crucified and rise. These are the documented facts.
The Bible is not some elaborate fable or book of thoughts. It is no less than the inspired word of God. There have been many manipulations of what the Bible says by various religions, but its words are the same today as they were 2,000 years ago.
Sand Spring Baptist hosts concert
Sand Spring Baptist Church will sponsor a worship concert Feb. 16 featuring Shane and Shane.
According to event organizers, Shane and Shane are nationally known contemporary Christian artists. This duo has many popular songs out such as "Beauty For Ashes," "Before The Throne," "He is Exalted," "Saved By Grace," and many more.
Have you experienced great loss in your life, like a death in the family or financial troubles?
I am sure you have and have asked God, "Why me?"
Personal suffering is part of life but as Christians, aren't we just clay in the potter's hands? Right now I know a lot of people are suffering, especially due to the economic situation locally and nationally. I believe sometimes we go through bad circumstances to have a closer relationship with our creator.
Ostrander to speak
at New Life Christian Church
Kent Ostrander, executive director of The Family Foundation of Kentucky, will speak at New Life Christian Fellowship, 1028 Industry Road, in Lawrenceburg on Jan. 29 at 10 a.m.
Ostrander, who received a B.A. from Vanderbilt University, attended Lafayette High School in Lexington and then studied at Vanderbilt University, graduating magna cum laude with a degree in mathematics. He was inducted into the Phi Beta Kappa honorary society as a junior.
I wrote a column a few weeks ago questioning why I do not see American Christians fasting, or why it is not more a part of our culture.
I was blessed to get some rewarding feedback from one of my readers, "Pat," and would like to share some of her experiences that I find inspiring.
These are her words, not mine, and I hope you may find it interesting and perhaps useful in your own spirituality, and perhaps adopt fasting as a part of your own walk with God.

I'm just going to put it out there and ask WTF about this revival of the 90's grunge lip trend. It wasn't cute then and it's not cute now. But whatever. If you tossed all of your grunge lip colors from the 90's (they'd no doubt be pretty grungy by now, and perhaps not suited to actual use), the market has plenty to offer. But the good news is (at least for someone like me), this time around some of these colors are actually wearable and will go beyond the grunge trend. They might even ensure that you won't be stuck with some heinous lip shade once this trend dies (again).
For price, performance, and existence beyond the trend, you really can't go wrong with Bite Beauty Matte Lip Crayon in Cognac. It's dark enough to keep up with the grunge trend, but warm and rich enough to carry into the holiday season elegantly and beautifully. It's convenient enough to use as a lip pencil, a stain (use fingers) or a full on lipstick.
If you're game for spending a little more money, Tom Ford's Matte Lipstick in Black Dahlia features similar wearability. Name aside, the color is actually a rich purple based plum (like its satin counterpart) and is more flattering than fad-centric. It's particularly gorgeous as a stain with a clear or complimentary gloss (think: Pink Guilt) to really make the color 3-dimensional. It's also gorgeous on a wide range of skin tones, so win-win.
Same for Dolce & Gabanna's Lipstick in Jealous. It looks frightening in the tube (like a dark brown-based purple), but it actually translates to a deep red-berry with a reddish-brown undertone. Although it can work on just about any skin tone, it's particularly gorgeous on warmer tones because it translates more elegant than garish.
You can always go all out with the likes of Kat Von D, but unless you're into expressing your grunge for an unlimited time… a chocolate lipstick with purple shimmer might not be a wise choice. Just saying.

Botox Treatments / New York City
Botox® (Botulinum Toxin) was first approved in 1989 for therapeutic treatment of Blepharospasm and Strabismus (eye twitching and misaligned eyes). Since its introduction to the world of medicine, it's been approved for eight medical treatments in the United States including excessive sweating, which our NYC medical spa treats.
Botox also works as a cosmetic injection that relaxes the muscles in the face that may cause wrinkles over time. Botox® is popular for non-invasive wrinkle solutions, from the forehead lines to frown lines between the eyebrows, as well as crow's feet around the eyes. Our experts treat each client as a work of art and skillfully revitalize that youthful look you desire.
So, if you come to us wanting shed years, or if you need relief from excessive sweating, our NYC medical spa guarantees you the best care with our expert MD injector and skin care consultants.
What to Know
- Used to reduce forehead lines, crows feet, vertical lines between the brows and bunny lines.
- The number of units needed will vary based on the areas you would like treated.
- Discomfort is usually minimal and brief.
- The effects should last between 3-4 months, depending on the individual.
- Do not take aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and herbal supplements for 72 hours prior to treatment. These medications can increase the chances of bruising.
What to Love
- Proven to reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the forehead, between the eyes, and around the eyes in a few days.
- Smooth Synergy® can also use Botox to treat migraine headaches and above average sweating.
- You can return to your office after treatment.
It's been about 8 days since I've had Botox in my forehead, and crow's feet. Dr George rocks! He did a great job. I loved it and so does my husband. Goodbye wrinkles!!!

With sports taking on international colors the business community is catching on to its tail and thriving. It is thriving with such great gusto that sometimes one pauses to wonder which came first – the chicken or the egg, the game or the sponsors! With the media throwing in its lot from war paint to feathers, from shirts to shoes, from kneecaps to wrist supports everything is in. Sports persons have become brand ambassadors and perhaps the ultimate loser is the quality of the game in this mad hysteria for name and fame. It is difficult to find a Maradona or a Pele in the backyards of Brazil.
Different shops specialize in different kinds of sports goods. Any and everything however can be found and bought online.
For instance : in the world of footballs each different code uses a different kind of balls. In soccer a sphere is used. A prolate spheroid with rounded ends is played in rugby. The pointed type is for American and Canadian football. The ball has to be sphere, which is filled with air having a circumference of 68/70 cm. Most of the latest footballs are stitched with 32 panels of leather that is waterproof. Adidas Telstar was the official ball of World Cup 1970.
Unfortunately a big stigma has been attached to the manufacture of footballs. It is alleged that child labor it used in this industry. 60% of the world's supply comes from Sialkot, Pakistan. Now it is supposed to be totally free from this accusation.
Football goods relate to not only balls but jerseys, socks, shoes, advertising banners and of course the net enclosure materials. Even if things are not required the media manages to inculcate a feeling of want in the spectators so that an artificial market is created that fetches good money.
The same holds true of tennis. Tennis itself does not require more than racquets, balls and a net. Tennis shops deal in tennis bags, tennis ball hopper, special clothes, headbands and even the drinking glasses bear sponsored labels.
Coming to cricket there are many items on the shopping shelves. First there is the red ball wrapped in twine covered with leather. It should have a 9" circumference. The bat is of wood and the wood is either Kashmir or English willow. It cannot be more than 38"x4.25". The handle is long with a smooth face on one side. Then there are the stumps and bails, the sightscreen and the rope that demarcates the boundary. An abdominal guard is worn together with polo shirt, long white trousers, sun hats, spiked shoes, jumper, helmet with a visor (worn by the batsmen and wicket keeper), leg pads, thigh, arm, chest and elbow guard. The wicket keeper and batsmen require special gloves. All this gives the appearance of a fort being attacked with gears befitting the soldiers rather than sportsmen! For ODI the team colors have to be worn. These rules mean more money making while the sports sun is shining.
It is the same with any kind of sports gear. Circling the main items, like boats and oars, in the case of rowing, the ancillary units are of equal importance as sports gears in the market. The boat shop is divided into shelves marked – products and equipments, clothing and engine parts and products. Equipments include anchoring, docking, chair for the captain, boat covers. On the shelves marked clothing can be found gloves, rain gear etc. The section on engine parts is very important and deals with the pulse of the boat. Then there are binoculars, safety devices, stoves, water heaters and an endless list than can be minutely located online.
The sports world has become the scene of one of the fastest growing industry in the world. With gambling and the underworld gaining control, life has become dangerous for the players. The call of the day is a balance to restore the sporting spirit and breathe back life into the world of game, fun and frolic.

Influence of automobile exhaust on haze, Hu Zhenmin think EV mileage costs and renewal questions and fixed network cannot afford a large plug-in power supply load. Therefore propose that oxygen and hydrogen fuel-cell-powered electric vehicle using methanol, mobile charging, PM2.5 emissions can be achieved.
On the issue of domestic waste treatment, he believed that if it can use garbage "controlled oxygen cracking" technologies, pyrolysis-gas power generation or production of ammonia, garbage will harmlessly into the siege the electricity or fertilizer, turning rubbish into resources.

Gunman shot, killed at Discovery building
He points to trouble with net's shows about 'human birthing'The gunman that stormed the Discovery Channel building in Maryland has died after being shot by police, NBC News confirmed. Police pulled the trigger after the suspect held a gun to one of the hostages.
An explosive device strapped to his body was detonated by the gunfire.
There are no reports of injuries to the employees (who were all male; one was a security guard) held hostage for about five hours, police said. The 1,900 employees were sent home for the day.
The man was reported to be James Jay Lee, 43, a former employee, according to CNN. He was arrested after holding a protest outside the net in 2008. Watch a live feed of the hostage situation.
Lee posted a 1,100-word demand letter on his website insisting Discovery Channel "broadcast to the world their commitment to save the planet."
"Stop all shows glorifying human birthing on all your channels and on TLC," the suspect wrote in the alleged letter to the network, which is home to "Kate Plus 8" and "19 Kids and Counting," among others.
The man entered the building's lobby strapped with "some sort of device on him that may be explosive in nature," Montgomery County police spokesman Cpl. Dan Friz told ABC News.
The SWAT team arrived on the scene around 1 p.m. EST. One hundred children from a daycare center within the building have been relocated to a local McDonald's. An employee told ABC News, "We heard, pop, pop, pop, pop pop."
The Twitter feed of DiscoveryNews.com, a Discovery Channel website for the latest science news, said as of around 2 p.m. EST: "Thank you everyone for your well wishes. Discovery_News team all safe." There was no immediate eyewitness news on Twitter.
The hostage situation came on a day when Discovery Networks International had unveiled the launch of its TLC network across the Asia-Pacific region.
"TLC has become one of the strongest television networks in the United States, demonstrating creative leadership across a wide range of lifestyle categories," said DNI president and CEO Mark Hollinger.
Wall Street analysts in first reactions predicted there would likely be little effect on Discovery Communications' financials and strategy from Wednesday's incident alone. "No," said one analyst when asked if he expects any negative impact. "[The gunman] is clearly very disturbed."
Employees are expected to return to work Thursday, but since police are currently treating the building as an active crime scene, Discovery will communicate with employees later on Wednesday night, according to corporate communications executive David Leavy.
Leavy said he didn't want to characterize Lee's demands beyond saying that when one reads Lee's manifesto, "I don't think it's rational." He added that Discovery did not take "his threats or demands seriously," and he confirmed the company had been aware of Lee and his past.
The Discovery rep also said the company and its employees is focused on recovering and getting back to "making great TV again."
"I'm proud of the Discovery family," he said, calling it "very loyal" and adding it is "a fun place to work with a lot of great people." In the face of Wednesday's stress, "that strength came through today," he concluded.
Discovery lauded the professionalism of the security and rescue forces and its own staff. "That's the word of the day: professionalism," said the Discovery rep. "Security staff and others executed our evacuation plans flawlessly."

"We Are One Body" is the theme for the 2017/18 Archdiocese of Chicago school year. As St. Paul indicates to the First Corinthians, we all represent many "parts," but ultimately form a single "body." The Catholic schools of the Archdiocese represent enormous diversity…our schools serve different neighborhoods, geographies, races, religions, etc. While we celebrate this diversity, we are unified in the single educational mission of Catholic education. We are ultimately part of the Body of Christ, doing our own unique part to build God's kingdom in our time. The Eucharist, Christ's body, is at the center of our Catholic mission.
Our schools are also part of this Body of Christ, where each student, teacher, staff member, and supporter do their part to create a beautiful whole. So too is our Archdiocese part of this Body. As we begin implementing our new strategic plan in the year ahead, we will work together to implement unified initiatives and build a stronger, brighter future for our schools. We will also enter the first phase of Renew My Church, which will call us to form relationships and realize how we contribute to a common ministry.

Build Your Employer Target List
Day 13 of 30 Days to Your Dream Job
At this point in your job search, it is a good idea to have an employer target list. A target list is a list of .
These may be companies that tend to offer jobs that fit your interests, organizations that have the company culture you desire, and/or organizations with a mission you believe in.
A Target List Saves You Time
With a target list in hand, you will actually save yourself time in your job search. Even if it feels productive to apply to every job opening you come across, you are actually wasting your time and energy. Instead, you should only apply to jobs at companies that you believe are a good fit for you.
There is no need to waste your time applying and interviewing for jobs that do not match your qualifications and/or goals. Even if you accept a job at a company that is not right for you, chances are that you will not want to stay there very long.
It is better to take the time to find your ideal companies and apply to jobs there, in order to find a long-lasting job that you love.
Creating Your Target List
Below are a few ways to begin to create your target list.
- Look at best company lists. Many web sites list the to work for in a variety of different industries. For example, ranks companies in a variety of categories, including the Fortune 100, Fortune 500, and Fortune 1000 (based on gross revenue), the best small companies, the best companies for millennials, and more. and also offer lists of top companies. Look through the lists that match your interests, read the descriptions of each company, and write down the companies that fit your industry interests and your ideal company culture.
- Look to your Chamber of Commerce. Your local Chamber of Commerce should have a list of local companies. Take a look at this list to see if there are any local companies that fit your interests. Click to find your local chamber of commerce.
- Look to your professional associations. If you belong to any professional associations, look on their websites to find a list of member companies. If you do not belong to any associations, click for a list of associations by industry. Find associations in your industry, and see if you can access each association's list of industries.
- Browse LinkedIn. If you have any contacts who work in your field, look on their LinkedIn profiles (or other social media profiles) to see where they work. Similarly, look at members of LinkedIn groups that are related to your industry, and see where they are working.
Narrow Down Your List
Once you have created a list through these methods, it is time to narrow your list down to only the companies that are truly a perfect or near-perfect fit. To do this, you will need to research the companies on your list.
First, visit each company's website. Read each company's mission statement and any other information the site may have about the work environment, the people the company hires, and anything else about the company culture.
You can also visit LinkedIn's Companies section to find company information. This section provides information on each company culture, as well as job openings and connections you have at each company. is also a good site for reading company reviews, ratings, salary information, and more.
Based on this information, cross out any companies on your list that are not a strong fit.
Expand Your List One More Time
If you feel that your list is now too small, or that it only contains extremely well-known companies, consider expanding your list a bit. Look on LinkedIn's Companies section or on to find some of the organizations that are competing against the organizations on your list.
Research these companies, and if any of them seem like a good fit, add them to the list.
The Final List
Ultimately, you should have a list of 10 - 20 companies that you will proceed to target in your job search. As you continue to job search, feel free to remove or add companies as you get a better feel for the type of organization you would like to work for.

English Language Program for International Instructors
Our mission is to:
- help nonnative English speaking instructors improve their language and cultural awareness in order to teach effectively in the US.
- help departments screen graduate students who have been proposed to work as teaching assistants.
- support the wider university community by helping faculty and staff respond to the increasing cultural and linguistic diversity on campus and foster a productive learning environment for all students.
As part of this mission, we implement the UC San Diego Graduate Division policy (in compliance with the California English Proficiency in Higher Education Act) that international graduate students who are nonnative speakers of English be certified as having requisite language skills before they can serve as teaching assistants (TAs). The English Language Program for International Instructors (ELP-ii), based in the Teaching + Learning Commons, is designed to assist international students proposed as TAs in meeting that requirement.
Language Testing & Training Services
English Language Certification Exam
All international graduate students who are nonnative speakers of English are required to demonstrate a high level of oral competence in the English language before they can be employed as Teaching Assistants (TAs). In order to assess the level of language proficiency, UC San Diego is required to screen prospective TAs. Exemptions to this screening requirement, which must be applied consistently, include
- international graduate students with a speaking subscore of
- 28-30 on the TOEFL iBT,
- 8.5-9.0 on the IELTS, or
- 83-90 on the PTE.
- international graduate students who serve as language assistants in courses conducted in their native language. [See FAQs: Hiring Departments, Sections 4, 5 and 6, for details on ELCE exemptions.]
Graduate Division guidelines state that a screening consists of a live 10-15 minute impromptu interview and teaching simulation, during which the student must respond to general and discipline-specific questions typically asked in courses for which the student is a prospective TA. The testing panel, consisting of at least one faculty representative from the department and an ELP-ii linguist, reviews, evaluates and scores the responses for level of communication skill ability and overall language proficiency, including
- pronunciation accuracy,
- listening comprehension,
- use of general and technical vocabulary,
- speech flow,
- grammatical accuracy, and
- organizational clarity.
The testing panel then makes a recommendation as to whether the TA candidate qualifies to TA.
Who schedules the test: The hiring department first notifies the ELP-ii of ELCE-qualified TA candidates who must be screened. The ELP-ii coordinates screening dates and times with the hiring departments. The hiring departments coordinate the exam schedule with the prospective TAs and faculty representative. Students DO NOT schedule the exam.
In-Class Language Assessment
Language Classes and Teaching Performance
ELPii Language Classes
International graduate students who do not pass the English Language Certification Exam (ELCE) are given the opportunity to improve their language skills by attending language classes offered by the ELP-ii. The classes entail a program of performance training including ESL proficiency, accent modification, public speaking and presentation skills, classroom management and leadership skills, and cross-cultural training.
International graduate students who do not qualify to take the ELCE (those with a TOEFL speaking score below 23, IELTS speaking score below 7, or PTE speaking score below 65) are encouraged to take English language courses offered in the English Language Institute and/or the English for Academic and Professional Development Program.
Teaching Simulations
In order to help international graduate students prepare for the rigors of the classroom, the ELP-ii organizes a series of teaching simulations. These are actual classroom forums wherein the international graduate student prepares and presents a lesson to a class of select undergraduates. The goal of the teaching simulation is to provide the student "TA" with a comfortable, monitored teaching experience with an undergraduate community interested in teaching, culture, and language learning. The undergraduates listen to the lesson, participate when appropriate, and finally offer advice and suggestions about the performance of the prospective TA. This is particularly useful for international graduate students whose language is acceptable but who have trouble in other areas of teaching, such as communicative style.
Audio and Video Recording
International graduate students are audio and video recorded to help them better understand their language and teaching skills. The video recordings are then uploaded to the Teaching + Learning Common's private YouTube site for the student to track and review their performance in detail. Each student receives a private YouTube link to each recording.
Apprenticeship Teaching
This is a highly effective program designed by the ELP-ii to help provide international graduate students with a more practical and personal form of teaching instruction. International graduate students are assigned to more experienced TAs as apprentice teachers. These experienced TAs will help the international graduate students with their teaching by pointing out areas for development, suggesting alternatives, and above all by serving as positive role models. All assignments are coordinated and monitored by the ELP-ii in conjunction with the international graduate student's home department.

1/ Photography jeopardizing painting
From its very start, photography was immediately perceived as a threat for painting. To photo-graph is to draw with light. When photography came, painters felt they were losing monopoly over representation. They also understood that this newcomer would draw better than they could. War started right away. Even though most painters immediately made use of photography, they also heavily criticized photographers: were these not failed painters? And was photography not vulgar in its rendering, unable as it was to screen what was shown? Unable to go straight to the point? And therefore was photography not non-artistic?
Of painting forced to leave figuration to photography.
With the arrival of colour in photography, figuration could no longer remain the enjoyment of painters alone. The cultural authorities, ruled by the painters, chose a double parry: Photographers were to be forbidden access to the artistic institution, whereas painting had to evolve toward abstraction in order to remain The grand Major Art. Relegated in a recess, photographers took hold of the Real and of documentary representation as one grabs at a banner. In a way, they made themselves more primitive, more hard-line, more vulgar and straightforward than they originally were, more anti-bourgeois than they ought to have been, because they had no other alternative. Yet, their figuration was not more vulgar than the painters'; painters were only middle-class people who did not want to see reality as it was.
And the public decided, cruelly enough.
The strategy of painters and photographers struggling for artistic recognition could thus last for a fair part of the 20th century in this unpleasant way. But the immense majority of the public kept liking figuration as much and could follow painting very little in its claim for primacy of matter and line, while they were also buying cameras and cell phones that could take snapshots. Today, worldwide, millions of photographs are taken on a daily basis; they show as much the public's continuous passion for figuration as the photographer's absurd claim to place documentary as a key to artistic recognition.
What to retain from this chaotic story?
First of all, the figurative know-how of European grand tradition of painting was lost when painting had to yield the realm of representation to photography. Artistic photographers were compelled to come back to figuration in its coldest, barest, and most documentary sense possible, since they had no other choice than to be the heroes of the Real. On purpose, they also discarded the accomplished art of the figurative painters, by making it redundant, and poured down the drain a know-how constituted by centuries of tradition.
The photographs here presented attempt to take up and use the good old forsaken recipes of painting: a biased selection of subjects and shapes, a scrupulous layout, the tradition of cloth folding, and a play on sharpness and colours.
2/ Origin of the work.
For years, we produced few photographs, exhibited little, and made a lot of experiments. We never believed in the idea that art was something incomprehensible. We thought that art had strong rules aiming at delectation, that the key to these rules lay in everyone, in human psychology, and that anyone could unravel its mystery if they were curious, attentive and honest in their approach. We thought that this secret could be phrased into words. There followed a long and confident road in the know thyself, punctuated with publications on http://www.galerie-photo.com each time we felt we had reached a new step in artistic analysis.
Eventually, one day we thought we could produce works connected to all we had discovered about the underground rules of art. In these works the relevance of the efforts of so many years will hence be assessed. Do they arouse any delectation at all?
Please refer to our papers (1) to make out how these pictures are indeed a patiently cultivated fruit. These works were in fact built:
- On a hinge of medium, at the frontier between painting and photography.
- On a time hinge, since it is a contemporary work on a past period.
- On a double subject hinge related to the very nature of still life: the hinge of man's presence/absence, and the hinge of general layout/disorder of the elements that build it up.
- On a hinge in the making process: these luminous worlds were made up in a black room that is paradoxically shut off from the world.
- On a hinge of authorship: these pictures seem to testify to a paradoxical absence of author in a world where one was never so literally obsessed to show oneself off to one's best advantage.
3/ Positioning
Our main purpose is to bring photography to a merging point with painting, which is the strongest hinge among those this work is founded on. But which painting?
We chose the 17th and 18th century Dutch still life painting for a certain number of reasons:
- The period was one of realism: painters were then learning how to watch and to truly enjoy every-day ordinary objects. This fact brings painting close to the photographic rendering.
- The period suits us well philosophically too: the sharpness of lines and the appropriateness of colours only occur because the painter was a humble servant who contemplated- the Real.
- We are interested in the subject as well: still life painting deals above all with the fragility of the passage of man on earth; it is a representation with a high philosophical content.
The field was little pioneered. Three references were more interesting than the others, though they remained limited:
- Some photographs by the Italian Guido Mocafico, that made him famous, take up the Dutch still life tradition. The main quality of these still lives lies in the excellent choice of the costly artefacts pictured. But the shooting is done very rapidly, the backgrounds are blotched and the lights, as though in advertising, tear off the subject incisively.
- Some very original photographs by the Australian Kevin Best show an acute interest for the Dutch still life. Kevin is a hard-liner who, too, purchased gorgeous – often period – artefacts and stages them meticulously in a way that shows a passion for clearness and mannerism. These experiments, as they went on, gradually turned to less convincing surreal inventions: The confusion with painting is not intended here, but a humorous, fairly cinematographic and childlike activity, based on references and diversions, that may make one readily laugh and whose virtuosity baffles, even if culture is too often the missing element.
- At last let us mention the interesting and at first glance delicate work of Dutch photographer Henrick Kerstens, notably on his daughter Paula. These photographs in the manner of Renaissance portraits often reach their goal in their proximity with painting, and they underline in a fortunate way the Vermeer-like beauty of the photographer's daughter. Nonetheless, the repetitiveness of a process consisting in having his model wear successively different plastic bags soon gets pretty boring. An interesting track was found, but no good command is achieved.
These three examples show that, conversely, there is room left for another kind of work; for a work whose aim is to reach the point of confusion with painting; for a work that would go further than the choice of artefacts, further than the clever building up of the composition, further than the appropriate matching of colours; for a work that also integrates all the culture of an epoch that has so much to teach us: an epoch of silence, of contemplation, of accurate observation, of patient learning, of sensual and yet obstinate work, of apt reserve and humility.

Seth Godin, the master of all things marketing, shares some valuable lessons on how to make an impression with your powerpoints. I am definitely guilty of some of the worst trangressions (like bullet points) but I suppose some of these old habits die hard.

In any case, any questions will be answered in the comments.
My opponent will have Sole BoP if he/she chooses the Free Will topic, but BoP will be shared if he/she chooses to argue Pro Objective Morality.
Upon accepting, I ask that my opponent state which topic they chose and present their arguments in the first Round.
free will must exist if i can be mentally enslaved
belief=mentally enslaved
knowledge=free will
for perfect balance, as they stand in contrast
free will is my ability to divert from the path i walk, or my ability to consider it.. resistance on the path of choice is the lack of will
blind men shouldnt search for rainbows
You say morality is objective, but I'm a little confused on your proof for it. Humans have had such a wide variety of beliefs when it comes to morality and the morality of a particular actions depends solely on the society in which the act is committed. For example, today in the US, it would be considered immoral to eat another human but several centuries ago this was a common practice in the indigenous tribes of New Zealand as well as many other groups around the world. There is no objective standard for morality as moral codes vary widely from one society to the next.
no universal code of morals=no objective code of morals
You say that since one can be mentally enslaved, then one can be mentally "free" and therefore have free will. What do you mean by "mentally enslaved"? Who's to decide that a certain state is slavery while the other is freedom?
"free will is my ability to divert from the path i walk, or my ability to consider it"
Yes you consider it, but your "decision" is biased. It's based on already-present factors that YOU DID NOT CREATE nor do you control.
free will=ability to act without bias
bias=already-present factors that you don't control
We are not able to act without bias, as to act without bias is to be completely removed from our environment, which we are not.
inability to act without bias=no free will
knowledge is truth, belief is be lie
unwilling choice=mental emotion(belief, love, jealousy)+option
i take it biased is flawed, i know the mushrooms were not deadly poisonous, if they were it would be bad
Not necessarily. You can have a belief that is true, it's just that you have no evidence to back your belief.
"i take it biased is flawed"
Well yes, we always strive for objectivity, but it is impossible because we are human, with emotions. However even a computer is biased, limited by itself.
And so it seems you really haven't thoroughly addressed the issues at hand.
math is objective, reality has no flaws
No, revelation of truth negates belief. One can be certain in their beliefs, as many religious people are, for example.
"math is objective, reality has no flaws"
Yes, I agree with both statements. However our perception of reality may be flawed.
But since our view on reality is biased, we cannot make an unbiased decision and therefore there is no free will.
Since we cannot observe an objective reality, there is no way we can make an objective moral judgement and these judgments vary from place to place, culture to culture.
There is no free will and no objective morality.
you have a biased view i agree, i have no beliefs
morality is objective, is math, is knowledge.. 1+1=2
But we cannot see something and not have an opinion or attitude about it. That is perception.
I feel that you, overall, haven't really addressed my points.
"i have no beliefs"
But you do. You think certain things are right, and that others are wrong. Those are your beliefs.
Thank you for the interesting discussion.
you can percieve things however you like, go eat a poisonous mushroom

Getting your foot in the door to the music industry can be a long and hard process. You may have a few songs prepared or even a few mixtapes and self published albums, but how do you get your name out there? A cost effective way to get it done would be to submit your material for an album review service. Using this service is a great way to start off your marketing strategy.
You typically just have to send the reviewer a copy of your album, mixtape, or song and they will take the time to listen to your music and post a honest review on their site. Some of these services also include helping you with some of your further marketing for a small fee.
To get an album review, one of the best places online would be www.sputnikmusic.com ... You may have to do quite a bit of networking to get your music posted, but it would be well worth it. They do quite a few reviews regularly and the best part is your album can even be reviewed by the other site users.

Sora on Rose
Location: Tempe, AZ
Property Type: Multifamily
Number of Units: 92
Acquisition Date: April 8th, 2014
Status: Sold by Gelt on September 29th, 2015
The Story:
On September 27th, 2013 Gelt Rose Holdings, LLC, acquired 92 unit La Paz Apartments for $6,000,000. This equated to a basis of $65,217 per unit and $78.79 per square foot. On December 22nd 2015, Gelt Rose Holdings, LLC sold the asset (since remarketed ?Sora on Rose?) for $7,850,000, or a basis of $85,326 per unit and $103.08 per square foot. Cumulatively, we netted our investors approximately 29.5% over a 26-month hold period.
The property, built in 1971, is located in a vibrant and growing area of Phoenix just north of 16th street and Bethany Road. It is comprised of 76,151 square feet and offers forty-five one bedrooms and forty-seven two bedrooms. Community amenities at the time of acquisition included a laundry room, clubhouse, pool, and individual storage units. We quickly recognized a ?value add? opportunity through the following means: extensive renovation of unit interiors, enhancement of the pool area, remodeling of the leasing office/clubhouse area, addition of a bike room, and aesthetic enhancements throughout the property including upgraded the laundry rooms and adding accent paint around the premises. Through our value add efforts, we were able to increase rents 13.4% in just two years of ownership! Additionally, we increased ?other income? through several means, one being purchasing our own washer/dryers and collecting the full amount of income from these machines (about $1,500 per month.) In relation to the previous ownership, we also collected far more utility bill-back income, ?prep fees,? ?pet fees? and ?late fees.? All told, we were able to increase our effective gross income by over $130,000 annually from when we took over the property, and decreased expenses by nearly $70,000 annually, representing a nearly 75% increase in net operating income.
Sora on Rose was a well executed ?value-add? play and we are thrilled to announce another success story for our loyal investors.

To the Times:
The GOP establishment is scrambling to pick up the pieces in the wake of Congressman Pat Meehan's recent announcement that he will not be seeking re-election. This decision comes on the heels of stunning revelations that Meehan used taxpayer dollars to settle a sexual harassment claim.
As party bosses desperately search for Meehan's replacement, don't be surprised if they handpick yet another political puppet that will be a rubber stamp for the status-quo. Evidence that the GOP was totally caught off-guard by Meehan's looming retirement was the 11th hour move by the Montgomery County Republican Committee to postpone the endorsement of congressional candidates.
In due time, a so-called 'endorsed' candidate will be selected and sold to Republican primary voters as the right choice to fill this vacancy. However, the electorate should be wary of whoever the GOP establishment taps because party-recommended candidates very often fail to embody conservative values and principles.
Case in point, in 2015 the Montgomery County Republican Committee endorsed a former board member of Planned Parenthood and a tax delinquent as their candidates for County Commissioner. Consequently, my brother, Joe Gale, took a bold stand by entering the race as a candidate that could be trusted to faithfully represent moral integrity and fiscal responsibility. Following an unprecedented grassroots campaign, which I was honored to chair, Joe Gale became the first Montgomery County commissioner in history to be elected without the support of either major political party establishment.
Similarly, in 2015, when the Delaware County Republican Committee endorsed a union boss as their candidate for state representative in a special election, Joe Gale and I stood firm by traveling to Delaware County to oppose this Democrat-in-disguise and lend support to the conservative candidate who was abandoned by GOP insiders.
Pat Meehan's political career further illustrates this unfortunate trend. For too long, the Republican establishment has turned a blind to Meehan's embarrassingly liberal record in Washington, D.C. Election after election this RINO (Republican-in-name-only) was tagged 'endorsed' by the GOP. Never forget that while Meehan was penning love notes to a female staffer, he was voting like a Democrat. So much so that Conservative Review has given Congressman Meehan an "F" rating with a dreadful score of just 34 percent. In 2016, I managed a primary challenge against Pat Meehan to expose the Congressman as a fraud. It's not surprising that two years later his career lies in ruin.
On Jan. 22 it was announced that I am exploring a run for the Republican nomination in the 7th Congressional District. Having seen firsthand the serial scandal and corruption that compromises our neighborhoods and nation, Republican voters deserve a candidate who is a watchdog for common-sense and accountability.
With President Donald Trump's America-first leadership and commitment to draining the swamp, now is the time to send a true conservative to Washington.

Jeezy has carried the torch as a pioneer of the South's trap movement for over a decade, but now it seems that fire is soon going to burn out. The Snowman announced on Twitter on Thursday morning (March 22) that Thug Motivation 104 will be the final album of his decorated rap career. "As the Cold Summer tour comes to an end..
It was inspiring seeing my day one fans since my first album & class TM 101 come out every night. Now class is coming to an end. It's time for Graduation! My Last Album & Final Class: TM104 #TrustYaProcess," Jeezy reflectively concluded. The ATLien's career kicked off in 2005 with the classic Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101 and the 40-year-old continued to drop seven additional albums during his career blessing
fans with endless anthems and memorable moments throughout the journey. Jeezy recently shared his latest album, Pressure, on the 2017 anniversary of The Chronic and has been on the road in support of the project with Tee Grizzley since. Jeezy has yet to reveal a release date for his TM104 finale.

I absolutely love YRU shoes. They are notorious for their platforms and cute, but controversial loafers. While I find both light weight and comfortable, I receive the best reactions from my Qozmo platform sneakers in the color Black (shown below). Anyone who can walk in heels can also rock platforms, and you will never have to worry about arch pain! In my search to find the cheapest pair of YRU platforms, I was surprised to find them at Hot Topic. Even Dolls Kill's sale price could not top Hot Topic. Although, I bought mine from Nasty Gal during a Cyber Monday sale. Hot Topic seems to have a consistent markdown on all YRU shoes, making them my buyer's choice!
Rad Deal!
1. Hot Topic $63.60
2. Nasty Gal $88
3. Dolls Kill $95

"The Difference Between Success and Failure lies within the story you're telling yourself."
Crude Oil is bearish and trying to finish rotation back up to the $50 round number, and a spike & channel is telling us exactly where to be looking for trading opportunities tomorrow.
S&P is bullish and trying to re-test yesterday's high, but one small channel on the chart tells us to wait for a pullback, and one BIG clue from earlier this week reminds us not to chase the market higher.
Gold is bearish, but we have four (4) reasons to wait for a bullish correction before selling more tomorrow.
Euro looks bullish at first glance, but three (3) clues on the chart tell us we're most likely due for a move back to the lows tomorrow.
FDAX is bearish and trying to re-test the low of the range, but we have two important levels of support standing in the way tomorrow.
Crude Oil
Crude Oil is bearish and trying to rotate up to the high of the spike & channel where we assume there will be sellers waiting for a move back down to the lows. Sellers will be looking for trading opportunities up above in the 'battle zone', but we may not make it that far because of this trend-line overhead, so keep an eye on a buyer-failure on the next pullback as well for a move back down to the lows.
E-Mini S&P
E-Mini S&P is bullish and trying to re-test yesterday's high, but this recent move higher has been so strong that we assume most buyers will be waiting for a pullback, which we will be looking for down in the 'battle zone' tomorrow. If you've been watching this newsletter with me this week, you know that the S&P has been great for 'selling high', so we expect to see more of that tomorrow, which why you don't want to buy high, focus on buying the dips up to yesterday's high, and then we take it from there.
Gold is bearish and trading at the low of the channel, right on top of the 1200 round number. The sellers have control, but they will be wise to look for selling-opportunities up at the highs, rather than trying to force the move lower from there. Our plan for tomorrow is to look for a move up off these lows so we can sell the high of the channel and the 'battle zone' tomorrow.
Euro is bearish and trying to finish off an overshoot to the opposite side of this bull channel after the buyers went a little too far, too fast earlier today. The buyers had a great opportunity to buy low, but they clearly aren't interested, which is now giving the sellers the confidence they need to start looking for traps and failure up above in the 'battle zone' tomorrow.
FDAX is range-bound and trying to finish rotation back to the low tomorrow, but a rising support trend-line appears to be keeping the sellers away from the middle, so the plan is to look for selling-opportunities up around 12,000 tomorrow using traps and failures for a move back down to re-test the low.

How was the Internet of Things able to take down the Internet with a DDoS?
3 Comments · Posted by lance in hacking
On October 21st, a large number of websites, including some of the biggest names, were knocked off the Internet by a massive distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack. A DDoS attack occurs when thousands to millions of devices send traffic to a target, completely overloading its servers or Internet connection.
Sony hack shows how hard it is to stay anonymous
2 Comments · Posted by lance in Uncategorized
FBI Director James Cormey says that the North Korean's who hacked Sony were tracked because of bad operational security in their use of proxies.
We saw the same thing with the take down of the Silk Road website. Few people have the skills, tools, and discipline to be 100% consistent with their anonymity. Any slip at any time can blow your cover. Of course, this could have been an intentional false flag, the rabbit hole can get very deep. Jeff Carr makes the case that this is actually quite likely.

Respiratory infections may double heart attack, stroke risk in winterDecember 6th, 2007 - 1:16 pm ICT by admin
Washington, Dec 6(ANI): Researchers at London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine have revealed that respiratory infections can double the risk of heart attacks and strokes in winters.
It has been found that there is a sturdy increase in the number of deaths from coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke during the winter months.
The study led by Tim Clayton and Tom Meade of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicines Medical Statistics Unit suggests that the benefit of reducing respiratory infection, either through ensuring high immunisation rates or by treating and preventing infection, may be substantial.
Clayton said that the data provides a strong evidence for a linking the infection with heart problems.
These data add to the growing body of evidence linking respiratory infection with subsequent risk of cardiovascular events. However, the absolute risk of such an event to an individual with respiratory infection remains low, said Clayton.
Dr. Mike Knapton, Director of Prevention and Care at the British Heart Foundation who funded the research also said that influenza could cause heart attacks.
We recommend that anyone with heart disease has the flu jab. Influenza is a serious infection, particularly in patients with heart disease such as heart failure, and it could even trigger a heart attack, said Knapton.
Flu is a potential killer and heart patients are offered the flu jab for free, no matter what their age.
We strongly recommend they take up the offer to give themselves protection against the flu, he added.
The research is published in the online edition of the European Heart Journal. (ANI)

FinPro's staff of former senior regulators provide extensive expertise and are uniquely positioned to recognize deficiencies at an institution. FinPro maintains close contact with all bank regulatory agencies and departments in order to stay current with upcoming policies and rules.
FinPro can provide a bank with assistance to prepare for an examination or will assist with resolution of a regulatory enforcement action. This process includes:
- Review data - A quantitative and qualitative review of bank files and information will be conducted. FinPro can also assist with negotiation of the order to ensure proper terms, timelines, and requirements.
- Assess risk - Using the information gathered in the review stage, conduct an assessment of each of the elements of the CAMELS rating system, plus additional vulnerable areas, to identify potential risks and the severity of risks.
- Mitigate risk - Upon assessing its risk profile, proactively make changes to deficient areas and develop plans to mitigate risks going forward.
- Perform to plan - In order to effectively manage the risk profile of the institution, the Board needs to monitor its performance on a periodic basis.
- Understand implications - After the review process, each Board member should know the answers to important questions and understand the implications of the institution's position.
- Present actions - The actions taken by the institution need to be communicated across the entire spectrum of the organization. FinPro will help the Board and management effectively tailor the message of the organization to both internal and external audiences.
- Examinations are leading to more enforcement actions.
- Major criticisms in recent regulatory enforcement actions lead to required corrective actions that could have a severe impact on an institution.
- Advanced preparation saves time and money.
- A CAMELS rating downgrade by the regulators can result in as much as an additional $100,000 per year in FDIC insurance premiums for every $100 million in deposits.
- In addition to FDIC assessment hikes, institutions can expect increases in other noninterest expense items such as legal, consulting, D&O and fidelity insurance.
- A prolonged period of regulatory oversight will limit business opportunities and value creation.

During an interview on Monday's "Axe Files" podcast, President Obama "in part, very cynically, somebody like a [Sen.] Mitch McConnell (R-KY), or Roger Ailes at Fox News, I think, specifically mobilized a backlash" to the vision of a unified tolerant America "in order to accomplish pretty routine, commercial or power agendas."
While discussing his 2004 DNC speech, Obama said the point of the speech was to say "[T]here is this trajectory, the arc of the moral universe is long. It bends towards justice. It is a struggle, but there's this thing in us, there's this thing in this country, that is good, and unifies us."
The president continued, "Now, I would argue, that, during the entire eight years that I've been president, that spirit of America has still been there, in all sorts of ways. It manifests itself in communities all across the country. We see it in this younger generation, that is smarter, more tolerant, more innovative, more creative, more entrepreneurial, would not even think about, you know, discriminating somebody against — for example, because of their sexual orientation."
He added, "But, what I think we also saw is that, the resistance to that vision of America, which has always been there, was always powerful, mobilized and asserted itself powerfully. Now, I would argue that in part, very cynically, somebody like a Mitch McConnell, or Roger Ailes at Fox News, I think, specifically mobilized a backlash to this vision in order to accomplish pretty routine, commercial or power agendas."
Obama futher said of McConnell, "His insight was that, we just have to say no to that, and if we can just throw sand in the gears, then, at a time of deep economic crisis, when people are really stressed, really worried, were already stressed and worried before the crisis, now are thinking the bottom's falling out of their lives and their home prices are going down, their 401(k)s are evaporating, they're losing their jobs, that if we just say no, then that will puncture the balloon, that all this talk about hope and change and no red state and blue state is proven to be a mirage, a fantasy."

Keeping our dogs healthy is basically a top priority, especially to pet owners. We always want our dogs to be fit and free from illnesses. Yet many owners tend to forget that dental health is also a significant factor to ensure that our dog is healthy.
Dogs use their teeth in just about everything – from eating their food, to playing with toys. As concerned dog owners, it is only our primary duty to provide our furry friends with an access to a dental care regimen.
As humans need to maintain a good dental health, dogs also need to maintain such. Oral problems and infections are very common to our dogs, many of which require professional care. By practicing a dental care routine, such illnesses can be alleviated.
Here are seven ways you can do to improve your dog's teeth.
Check Your Dog's Teeth Regularly
It starts with a routine. You should examine your dog's teeth and gums at least once a week for any possible problem. In order to do this, you have to place your dog in front of you and lift his lips up for a good view of his teeth and gums. Take note of the presence of tartar on the teeth. On the other hand, the gums of your dog should not be swollen, and should have a natural pink color. When your dog's gums are colored red or white, it is high time to visit your veterinarian.
Brush Your Dog's Teeth
It might be a tall order, but brushing the teeth of your dog may prevent the buildup of plaque. Get your pet a toothbrush specifically made for dogs because it can easily clean the crevices of his mouth better than ordinary toothbrush. Additionally, you should never use a human toothpaste for your dog since it contains substances such as fluoride which may be dangerous to him. Instead, purchase a dog toothpaste. It usually comes in scrumptious flavors such as peanut butter flavor. For sure, your dog will love it. Finally, it should be noted that brushing your dog's teeth does not need to be done daily. Yet, doing it more often is recommended.
Go for a Regular Dental Exam
Like humans, dogs need a regular dental checkup. Through a quick oral screening, your vet can gauge for symptoms of illnesses such as oral cancer. Diagnosing the presence of such illnesses can lead to an early treatment of the disease, which in turn can result to a successful cure.
Allow Your Dogs to Chew
Give your canine a toy to chew because they're actually good for the teeth. Many of these chew toys actually have teeth-cleaning properties with them, cleansing your dog's teeth without him noticing. Chomping on these toys fosters a stronger teeth. Furthermore, it massages the gums and scrapes the tartar away from his teeth. There are a lot rubber and nylon toys in the market, so it would not be difficult to find one for your dog. However, see to it that the shape and size of the toy should be appropriate for him.
Give Dogs Dental Treats
Like chew toys, some treats can also improve your pooch's teeth. These treats contain substances that would freshen your dog's breath while removing the buildup of plaque. Find a dental treat that your dog would love since they usually come in various flavors and shapes.
Monitor the Diet of Your Dogs
Your dog's diet can be a determining factor on his dental health. Feed your dog with nutritious food. Look for dog food which inhibits the formation of plaque and the growth of bacteria. Dry food usually removes plaque on his teeth while chewing. Try to avoid giving your dog food scraps. Also, try to avoid allowing your dogs to munch on your trash. These may contain harmful which may be detrimental to your dog's dental health.
Allow Professionals to Clean their Teeth
Undergoing a professional cleaning by a veterinarian would most likely ensure your best friend's dental health. While it may be costly, professional cleaning will guarantee your dog's perfect smile. Your veterinarian will polish your dog's teeth, removing any trace of plaque and tartar. He will also take not of any dental ailments present. Your vet knows how to locate for dental issues which you may not notice. If ever there are issues surrounding your dog's teeth, extraction may occur. However, it should be noted that if you frequently clean your dog's teeth at home, there is no need for a professional to do it for you.
Like any animal, your dog's teeth is a vital part of your furry friend's day-to- day life, hence the need to take care of them. By regularly following the aforementioned ways to improve your dog's teeth, you can be ensured of a healthy and plaque free smile from your best friend.

Community Groups Week of Nov. 12th/
Announcements :
- THIS IS THE LAST COMMUNITY GROUP MTG. of the quarter: Its been a great 9 weeks together!! Now, the Community Groups will take a break over the Thanksgiving & Christmas season ... and we will launch again on JAN. 22nd, 2017. Looking forward to getting together and touching base over the holidays!
- CHRISTMAS ....Christmas is coming...
- We are exactly 40 days away from the 1st Christmas service here at West Pines. Check the website for service details.
** Very Important : Please click on the link below for the week # 9 Leader video :
[vimeo 189522816 width="640" height="360"]
Main Text: Luke 10:25-37
Sermon Title: Love South Florida, Part 3:
"Love for the Fatherless"
Sermon Topic: (Not to be read or e-mailed to your group … this is for the leader's review and recollection)
- Jesus is asked by a lawyer what it looks like to perfectly follow the law. Jesus redirects him back to the law. The lawyer can effectively define the law. He essentially says love God and love your neighbor. Jesus tells him, that he is right. But then the lawyer asks him, "who is my neighbor?"
- Luke gives us the sense of this conversation. The man is clearly trying to justify himself. Jesus then does what he typically does. He doesn't lecture him. He tells him a story that cements the truth.
- The story is of a man that gets attacked on the way from Jerusalem to Jericho. He is robbed, beaten and left for dead. This is not uncommon on this particular stretch of road.
- Jesus goes on to say that coincidentally, a priest comes by. But he doesn't help the man. In fact, he goes to the other side of the street to avoid him. Then a Levite comes by and does the same thing. These are the professional ministers of the day.
- Then of all things a Samaritan comes by. But this man has "compassion" on him. He heals his wounds, puts him on his donkey, puts him up in an inn and then pays the innkeeper to continue tending to him. He promises to return and check on him.
- At the end of the story Jesus asks the lawyer who was "neighborly" to the man. The lawyer can't bring himself to say the word "Samaritan" so he simply says "the one who showed him mercy." Jesus says "go and do likewise."
- Compassion is a thing to "DO" not a thing to simply feel. In the New Testament you never read the word compassion without seeing an accompanying action.
- This story that Jesus tells is to answer the question - who is our neighbor? The answer is: whoever God puts in our path.
- As a church we are responsible to love dramatically. We are to love in deed not just in words. We are to care for the neediest, the least of these in our world. If Jesus came for us who are spiritually impoverished and desperate and made us whole, then we must do that with our "neighbors."
- Here is one need that is being put in our path - Foster Care. This is an all call for Foster Families.
(Please feel free to modify questions to accommodate your specific group!)
HIGH/LOW: What was the high point of your week and the low point?
Please read: Luke 10:25-37
- What stuck with you the most about this famous story by Jesus? (What are you still wrestling with?)
- Why do you think the lawyer asked "and who is my neighbor?"
- How does Jesus answer the question, "Who is our neighbor?"
- What are the reasons you are tempted to pass by someone who has a need?
- Read: 1 John 3:18 - Since compassion in the scriptures is always linked to action , how then, do our actions show compassion? (Think ... Do my actions show this?)
- What does "loving our neighbor" actually look like in my life?
- The Gospel is Jesus trading places with us - How does this help us really understand the story of the good samaritan (Luke 10)?
- Who is a hurting person in your path that you can show love to?
- Could God be calling you to consider getting involved in foster care somehow?
Have you ever had the opportunity to be a "good samaritan" but it falls at the worst time? It's not that you don't want to help, it's just that right now is not a fit. But still, you believe in your heart you are a good samaritan… right? Interestingly, that is at the heart of Jesus' story we call "The Good Samaritan." Two other people passed by the hurting man because it was an inconvenient moment for them. The one who really understood what it was to love, readjusted his life to accommodate the hurting person. According to Jesus, love is not simply good intentions. Love is sacrificing for another. It is responding to whoever is in our path. So, who are the hurting ones in our way right now? Will we stop and respond and show love? What if it requires us to rearrange our lives? What if it takes great sacrifice? What if it is a child that needs a home?
Don't forget to post your attendance after group.

Heroic Theory
Heroic Theory of genius states that a genius is a hero possessing a spiritual greatness, a magic talent, boundless courage, fearlessness of mind, demonic power and absolute and unlimited free will.
Demonic (from Greek diamond – demon, demigod ) theory of genius considers genius to be a rebel and destroyer who overturn concepts, values and bases. Absolutization of ideas of total freedom, self-induced activity, struggle and force transform a genius-hero into a genius-rebel and great destroyer.

The Center for Reconciliation at Duke Divinity School, in partnership with DurhamCares, will co-sponsor a weekend pilgrimage for Duke Divinity School students, faculty, staff, and residents of the Durham, N.C., community.
The purpose of the Durham Pilgrimage of Pain and Hope is to connect the journey of discipleship with place, and to do it in one's particular city – the place participants call home, organizers said. Through encounters that foster a posture of listening and reflection during the pilgrimage, participants will see how their discipleship impacts and is impacted by the place they live. Learn more about the experience.
DurhamCares was founded to help Durham residents love their neighbors and invest in their community. The organization strives to inform, inspire, and connect Durham to community-driven service and development opportunities, which leverage individual, business, and church-based assets to achieve sustainable success and lasting social impact in the community.

Sometimes small bedrooms can feel congested and cluttered because of the furniture we need, the colors we use, and a general layout of the room. Luckily, there's plenty of space-saving tips that make our small bedrooms appear larger than they actually are.
Furniture Arrangement is Key
The first step to a bedroom overhaul is to remove any unnecessary furniture in order to create more space. You can also bring in multi-functional furniture or furniture with many storage compartments in order to increase the amount of available free space. Another idea is to think "up" - take advantage of vertical space as much as you can. For example, instead of buying a freestanding bookshelf, build individual shelves above a desk or bed. Another space-saving tip is to build an elevated bed loft and then place your desk underneath it. Doing so will free up all the space your bed would've taken up!
Another option is to utilize storage containers that can be substituted for large pieces of furniture like a clunky wardrobe or dresser. Containers can then be placed underneath the bed or other pieces of furniture in order to save more space. After using this method, you'll have a few large pieces with many functions instead of many small pieces.
Opting for fewer but larger pieces of furniture brings a feeling of openness to a small bedroom and actually creates more storage space. For example, if you have a king of queen size bed, you'll have more room underneath for storage. It's also a good idea to place your bed adjacent to the longest sides of the wall. This puts the centerpiece of the bedroom in the most efficient spot, making the room feel less cramped. What you're really looking for is to create a sense that the room is more spacious than it really is.
Getting Your Bed Just Right
The basic principle for decorating your bed is to find brightly-colored bedding that brings the most light into your room. Doing so will give your room a more open and radiant look.
"For the eco-minded, we offer many natural fiber mattresses and bedding options that are incredibly comfortable and made from sustainable materials! We offer many light shades for bedding that will help make your room bright and airy."-Brentwood Home Bed-in-a-Box Specialists
Decorative Locks
Joe from Thelondonlocksmiths.co.uk says, "A great adornment to any small bedroom are ornate and decorative locks. Most master locksmiths will be able to fix these for you. These locks really are the finishing touch that any small bedroom needs."
Walls Walls Walls
Decorating for the walls revolves around color. For a small bedroom, light blues or greens create not only a calming effect but also reflect lots of light, making the room appear larger. It's generally wise to avoid darker colors as they bring a dulling effect that makes everything feel constrained. In addition, ceilings and moldings should be painted in a lighter color to give an illusion of a high ceiling.
Super Special Lighting is Needed
Lighting is a vital component to making a small room appear larger. Install soft colored, translucent curtains made from a light material in order to let in more light. Swag curtains also allow more light in.
Mirrors Make Things Appear Bigger
Mirrors reflect light all around the room and create the illusion of depth. Place a few mirrors along the walls or on the back of your bedroom door, so long as they are able to reflect indoor and outdoor light. Bedroom mirrors not only serve a decorative purpose - a full-length body mirror can be useful for getting ready in the morning.
