Religion was created as a way to explain unexplainable events. As we have become better able to explain these things with science and reason and logic, we have had less and less a need for deities. First were gods made of nature itself that explained life and growth. Then came gods that represented and influenced various forces of nature that explained the weather and the cosmos. Science has effectively eliminated the gods down to 2 main gods; Yahweh/Elohim/Adoni, and Allah. Both serve to give answers to the supposed last great unknown; that of death. People who believe in either of these gods are nearly as atheistic as atheists, as they have a lack of belief in only one less God than atheists. They have ceded that science has rendered the existence of the other thousands of gods obsolete. Even religious individuals must acknowledge the absolution of the potential of knowledge from science, yet they continue to follow given ideas and beliefs instead of asking and doubting an questioning and testing until the truth is found. Because the truth is not what is peaceful or pleasant or even what you have CHOSEN TO BELIEVE because it sounds right. The truth exists despite anyone's belief in it, therefore the only true way to find the truth is not to accept what you've been told, but to question everything until you can no longer. Only then if it holds up can it be true. You cannot know there is a god until you have entertained and fully exhausted atheism and science.
From 'reason' - tell me, if God doesn't exist, how did the SPERM know that there are FEMALE ORGANS it should stimulate to in order of the importance of human reproduction?
and how did the FEMALE ORGANS know that they should be stimulated with SPERM in order of the importance of human reproduction?
This pattern of the SPERM and the FEMALE ORGAN manifesting into a human would have 'never' have started without there being at least an intelligent outside interference who started it.
Who gives conscience?
If you believe God doesn't exist, then you should have no problem with a rapist man raping a baby girl. Yes, you should have no problem with a brutal rapist raping a baby girl.
But no, you do care, since you have a conscience.
Can't you see that you have something godly in you, conscience! You know that what's wrong and, you know what's right!
If we evolved from animals, i.e. monkey, we would still have no conscience (forever not knowing right from wrong). But no, we were made in the image and likeliness of God, men is far much more superior. Let evolution not be the only way for you to go with suppressing the irrefutable truth.
God created you
God is for you
And you are for God
Human conscience comes from empathy. Empathy is a chemical response to external stimulus triggered by seeing an external source that in some way resembles you. It's why when he hear about tape occurring to another human, we feel for them. It's this same feeling of empathy that keeps us from DOING these things to another human being. It's the reason we don't feel as strongly about killing animals as we do humans. It's why we feel closer and can relate more and feel more first to our families, then people who we can connect to, our friends, then the rest of humanity. They resemble us less and therefore trigger less of a response to our empathetic system. This is where logic comes in. Logic is the other part of conscience that continues to work where empathy is unable. I might not feel empathetic towards a Forrest that has been cut down, but I can reason that it is wrong from imperial evidence that shows it is damaging to the environment. And while you may not feel for the trees, you may feel more for the animals who lived in them, and you'd feel even more if humans were in them as they were cut down. This is all why feel terrible when we see rape and murder and theft. We feel for them chemically, then reason logically. Psychopaths aren't crazy. Not at all. They were simply born without a functional empathetic system. They feel nothing for other people. Not all psychopaths are murderers. Some still use that other half, logic, to reason that if they commit murder, they would be imprisoned or executed or otherwise made unable to be free. They don't feel another's sense of property, so theft is easier. They don't feel for another's sense of fear or terror, so they are able to commit horrible acts of violence. Has God begrudged them this sense of conscience? He would not. Because according to gods plan, we were all made to have the ability to choose right from wrong. These people are literally, measurably born without this chemical system.
We did NOT come from monkeys. We and monkeys share a common ancestor with a species that resembles both of us. And in fact, as we ARE related, modern monkeys as well as their relatives and many other mammals DO have empathy. It's why they don't kill each other for no reason. It's why mammals work together better than any other animal group. Dogs are the best species in the animal kingdom at empathy across species. They are the best at reading human emotions and have the same chemical response and feel their emotions with them and attempt to help them. When you hear a cow scream in pain, you still feel something because it is eerily similar to the way humans express pain, but you'll feel less than when you hear a human scream. If you've ever heard a dog cry out in sadness, you've heard how much it sounds like any family members cries and it hurts you. This is very simple and calculable and observable. We feel for others chemically and can therefore make a logical decision to not do something to harm them.
I have told you exactly how this works naturally. And as I said, science currently explains everything God used to, except disproving the existence of an afterlife. However, if creation and conscience work without God, as we now know they do, God is made irrelevant, and if God is in any way irrelevant then he cannot be.
I grew up in a very religious home. I loved it. I still admire the hope and happiness it gives people. But along the way, I allowed myself to think and search. Before this, my whole belief system was given to me. That's what faith is. You re told something, and you choose to believe it instead of being wary and questioning it first to find its truth. These ideas are excepted because they are pleasant and make you happy. However the truth isn't what makes you feel good, it is what it is, the good, the bad, and the neutral. I've always found that in any argument for or against religion, the religious defense for any argument is the suspension of disbelief, or plausible deniability, or just simply faith. This is unreasoned untested ideology. You believe because you simply believe. And you resign yourself to be without questions or answers. You don't test God, because you have been told not to. But if you haven't tested something, you cannot be sure that it is real. Science is constantly tested. It's why the ideas have changed despite passionately believing in them before. It's why we used to believe the sun revolved around the earth but now now it's the opposite. Religion encourages accepting given beliefs which means the beliefs will never change and no growth will occur and no real truth can be found. Science tests everything until the truth is found and has created all the growth mankind has ever had. I appreciate that you love your faith but I implore you to test it further. And to go through the rest of this debate thinking objectively and without any predetermined decisions that you are absolutely right and will not have your mind changed. I in turn will do the same. If you can bring me to a different understanding of a god that can make me see he is possible, I would much rather believe I can live with my family forever rather than believe I will rot in the ground until the sun swallows the earth and the sun is swallowed by a black hole. For this reason, I will be receptive to your ideas, so long as they lead to the truth. Good or bad.
(If you even ever tried, you would certainly perceive that HIS FOOLISH IDEAS of how mankind should live outweighs even the MOST BRILLIANT IDEAS presented mankind - of how mankind should live.
***Disagree with me?
Present YOUR idea of how God should take care of mankind if He truly exists and, if your idea is better than God's idea. I would certainly praise and reconsider my belief.***)
Give me one good reason of why God should be seen by us for us to believe in him?
Because according to me, (Before God created the world) - God's idea for people to worship him even without seeing him and loving us by sending His only begotten son Jesus Christ to die for our wrong deeds while we were still his enemies.
That, is that best ever plan according to me!
So for the last time, I beg with you please, let the fairytale lie of evolution not be your Good News because the true Good News is that Jesus Christ descended on earth and died for all of us even while we were still sinners so that we may share the glory of the promise given to our ancestors, the land of milk and honey.

Saying that because the earth isn't eternal means the universe can't be eternal is not sound argument.
I don't know the universe is eternal and i don't know if there are multiverses. Hell some have even thought there are white holes somewhere that are simply the "other" side of the black holes we have seen in our universe. Essentially passes matter between each other, not creating new matter but giving the allusion that new matter is being created or destroyed.
I think it is more than fair to assume the universe could be eternal or at the very least created itself by the chance.
We can sense the universe in a very simple way. Look up and see the stars at night. That alone shows us there is something that both us and all of those trillions of stars are a part of at the same time.
I'm not interested in carrying on this debate any longer. At least not in the comments section that is about to expire.
IF you want to continue then set up an official debate and i'll oblige. As far as my link goes i would just read it over and see what you can refute and what you cannot. It can never hurt to study the opposition's arguments.
You say you can sense the universe around you. But senses are subjective. How can you say that I havent sensed god, when you can't even prove that you sensed anything?
5000 years from now, people will view us as idiots. So, an argument of superior intelligence won't hold. Maybe the future views atheist as idiots.
Anyone who replaced god with education, never had a grasp on god anyway.
I read your link. There is alot there. Choose your favorite.
At the very least we know that the universe exists, because we can sense it all around us. This can not be said for any god or deity.
You, if anything, have a hypothesis as to what and how this deity you believe in exists. With nothing to back it up. Literally nothing.
I would take what little we KNOW over knowing nothing any day.
The notion of god was made up when humans didn't understand what the sun was, or why it rained, or why there were natural disasters, or how plants grew.
The notion of god came from a time period where humans were literal idiots. MANY gods came from this, but all but 1 (for most people) have been replaced by new information through education.
There are again MANY arguments against god, but i really don't feel like typing every one out right now.
Here's a reference if you're interested in trying to refute any of them. http://www.update.uu.se...
No, you say, "I can use the same argument for the universe itself." No.. you cant. Because science has carbon dated our earth as well as attached an age to the universe. None of which have eternal lifespan. So, there is no way that the universe has eternal lifespan, or else science is wrong.
If science is right about the age, the the universe cant be the unmoved mover. If science is wrong and the universe is eternal, then what else are they wrong about?
But, it amazes me that the notion of god has been around from as early as we can date, yet you say there is no reason to believe. You some how know something that the entire history of man doesnt. Where did the first idea of god come from? Of you say someone made him up, then who? That burden of proof is on you.
And how did he think of a being called god? We can not grasp a concept of something we have never seen or heard of. He must have been a caveman genius. Lol
Any reason you give to justify this i can simply attach to the universe itself. Making the argument pretty much a coin flip. EXCEPT for 1 thing. We know there is a "universe" because we are in it. We DO NOT know of any god or deity because we have no reason to believe there is one.
The "holy" text were all written by man correct? Where said stories came from is where the confusion arises. I simply imply that the stories came from those very same humans, made up and written down for one reason or another.
People were always looking for control, for order. Religion would have been a good way to achieve that. Along with the belief in heaven and hell as well.
" I would think a question as powerful as god, you would make up your own mind, and not simply take a books word for it. "
I was simply using the words and ideas that other believers like yourself have used. Obviously they do not think the same as you or i for that matter.
See this problem of the burden of proof always seems to come up, and somehow people think it is the skeptics burden and not the one who holds the belief or position being debated in the first place.
I would like to know any reasons you have for believing in a god, because again, other than that feeling of content and hope that some people seem to gain from belief in god and an afterlife, i don't see many other reasons.
It's 3AM and i need to get up for work. I'll continue this tomorrow if you want to wait to respond. OR not up to you.
I would first familiarize myself with the native language. As to figure out what their word for creator is, as god is english. And I am sure they would look at anyone crazy who was speaking a foreign language. But once I explain what God or the creator is, every man will understand.
Without god thete is certainly no religion l. Please explain to me how the existence of god hinges on the existence of any religion?
You criticize the idea of god based on others interpretation of god. I would think a question as powerful as god, you would make up your own mind, and not simply take a books word for it. That go's for any knowledge.
You still haven't explained why it should be obvious that God doesn't exist.
The only reason to believe that God has expectations of us, is a holy book. But there are many reasons to believe without the book. The book assumes you already do believe.
I can invoke a creator, and you haven't given one reason that refutes my theory.
I said unmoved mover. That is my reason to believe. You say the singularity could be god, but we would have to assume that the singularity was eternal. But, the same scientists who claim the big bang happened, will argue that infinity doesn't exist. But, it has too. Until you can prove, the singularity is eternal, you have proved nothing.
Something can not create itself from nothing. That defies logic.
Logical absolutes. There is another good argument for god. Lol
Ask an african child who has never come into contact with a bible or a koran if god exists and they'll look at you like you're crazy.
Without religion there is certainly no god. With it i still argue that there is no reason to believe in a god, just a reason to have the notion of god in your head.
Similar to the Odyssey and the greek gods. Sure there were other books that mention greek gods of course, but if all of them were never written no one today would have any idea that those gods were ever even a thought at all.
So yes, i criticize belief in god based on certain holy books because that is the only context which you can do so.
There is no need to criticize belief in god WITHOUT a holy book because it should be obvious to someone that there is no god in such a case.
The ONLY reason to believe in a god is because of the "word" that is in each of the hold books. People take those things literally and i would say wrongfully so.
You can't just say god did something because you don't know how said thing was done. There is no need to invoke god in anything.
If you believe in a god for any reason OTHER than that sense of hope, or comfort or whatever, then you need to explain that and give REASONS why you do.
Faith is not a sufficient reason, and neither are any of the holy books.
The Universe could have formed by itself for all we know, just like we suspect life on earth did.
The universe could have come from the death of another universe and we could be part of a multi-verse as we speak. We don't know, and we may never know, but that is no reason to invoke god into the conversation.
And Santa and god are not synonymous.
The proof of the creator is that which he created. Just look
If you want to call my beliefs false, I would direct you too any time frame in the history of man. Both present and past that say their is a god.
You criticize a belief in God based on the teachings of a holy book. You point to errors In the bible as proof that God doesn't exist. As if god needs religion to exist. No, religion is the rules that were defined after a belief in God had already been established. If you don't believe based on some religous text, then you don't understand god.
You don't know that you only have one life. That is faith
If you have never been to space, then you don't know anymore than anyone else.
Science is always changing from a conclusion they once thought was fact. That is the whole point
What in the bible has been proven wrong? (Just curious)
There are many documentaries and books you can read from those who have done the research into the moon landing or conspiracy.
Your biggest error is thinking that because science can figure out how it works, they can figure out were it came from. But, you already know what their answer is. "We just don't know." But you are 100% sure it wasn't from god. So, my question is, why do take the word of people that you are apparently smarter than?

There were several factors that influenced my decision to seek the job of Sheriff. The main factor was no opposition against the current Sheriff . I solicited many qualified persons to run for the office, but everyone declined citing no one would be able to beat the incumbent and the election was rigged and there were too many issues including the jail issues to have to deal with. Also, most of these people, like myself were retired and just didn't want to be bothered with this monumental task. Given the last minutes of the last day for qualifying I decided to seek the job of Sheriff.
Over the past several years I have identified many serious incidents involving gross negligence, malfeasance and misfeasance and unlawful criminal conduct with the current administration. I have worked very closely with law enforcement agencies across the country and it is beyond belief the disregard for lawful conduct, and professionalism this administration has displayed. There have been many incidents of waste and abuse of taxpayer money. A convicted felon, knowingly hired and given a supervisory position in a supposedly secure jail facility. Several murders, including a suspicious suicide involving the police agencies that has involved collusion and intrigue and in my opinion, absolute cover-up for botched police action. Rapes of inmates, jail suicides by hanging, complaints of disease and unsanitary conditions at the jail, constant investigations regarding conduct by the Sheriff and his staff are just too numerous for the efficiency of any agency and especially the Sheriff administration.
I am somewhat familiar with the current administration's structure. While I do not have an idea of what the operating budget of the Sheriff's office is, the budget looks relatively fat. There is definitely reorganization and change needed in the department for maximum efficiency and control of the department. I have heard many times that the incumbent has been running the Sheriff department for 30 years working for 3 different sheriffs as a chief deputy. While one can applaud him for his efforts, it is also noted that new ideas and tactics are achieved with new leaders. Efficiency and growth is stifled with the same ole, same ole. New leadership means new growth and different attitudes. In the incumbent's mind, I am sure he thinks he is doing a great job. I compare this with asking a mother if her baby is ugly.
When I am elected sheriff, a complete audit of the Sheriff Department expenditures will be conducted and all monies spent will be scrutinized and posted for the public to see. While audits are apparently conducted regularly, it only accounts for money spent but no one beyond the managment knows just what was bought with taxpayer money. Figures show an accurate expenditure, but what is the expenditure. A felon convicted of embezzlement of hundreds of thousands of dollars and given purchase authority and hired in the capacity of a law enforcement supervisor raises red flags all around as to just how much taxpayer money was wasted or stolen. This act is beyond any intelligent person's comprehension and is gross negligence, if not criminal negligence. In order to qualify for a law enforcement position, one has to be certified by the Tennessee Police Standards Commission. That requires fingerprints and a criminal history background check before one can even enroll in the training course. It also requires a psychological evaluation. Taxpayer money was also spent to place this felon in the certification course. How many other employees are in positions of trust that have compromised backgrounds no one knows about?
There appears to be no standard for competitive hiring within the current administration. Job performance, evaluation, and merit protection is minimal or non existent. It appears employees of the Sheriff department are hired only by a standard of family, relative or friends of someone who is a political supporter and not through a competitive process. The only way to evaluate one's performance for incentives, awards or promotions is by establishing performance standards and position descriptions to identify one's job responsibilities. Personnel responsibilities begin with a Human Resource Director or Officer. The cities within Sevier County all identify Human Resource offices on their respective websites. Sevier County only identifies the mayor and gives no information as to any employment in Sevier County jobs.
As Sheriff I will attempt to establish a Human Resource Department and review all positions, training and performance accomplishments and qualifications. Fair and competitive hiring practices will be established and a merit system within the Sheriff Department with a formal EEO (Equal Employment Opportunity) program established for the protection of all employees for job security. Human Resource Directors should be instituted at the Executive level of Sevier County and cover all departments within the Sevier County Government. With the current executive administration, I think we all know what they think of this.
Performance Standards sound serious and regimented and may seem restrictive as well as demanding. This is especially recognized by the "Good Ole Boys" who do what they like and want to do. I have worked with many officers in this county and there are some very good officers that go beyond the call in these remote areas of the Great Smoky Mountains. Then there are others that are very apprehensive in making any decisions or responses because they are not sure what they are to do. With these standards, there will be a clear outline of responsibilities and procedures to do their job without interference focusing on Officer Safety and Performance. Performance Standards are guidelines for modern day jobs whether it is a police officer or a secretary and will not be anything like the good ole boy programs that are now in existence.
I have never been a Sheriff but I have worked with numerous law enforcement and emergency service agencies across the country for over 30 years. There are better, different and efficient ways to do business without politics. I am no politician, I have no political agenda, I have no relatives living anywhere near here and I owe no one any special favors and I will not participate in any political agenda. I see this job as a business to be conducted as such.
All Sheriff department expenditures will be available at all times for anyone's inspection and comments and complaints will be addressed promptly. Complete transparency and visibility within the Sheriff department will be of utmost concern. Based on my observations, but lacking the facts and numbers concerning the Sheriff Department budget, I think redefining the sheriff department's mission with some reorganization, there could be extra money available for deputy pay raises or incentives. Deputy pay will be one of my main concerns and I will strive to make sure every officer can be paid the most fiscally possible. There will also be an open door to the Sheriff to address complaints and comments. As Sheriff, absolute professionalism and efficiency with our taxpaying money is the ultimate goal.

A few months ago, our students were trying to make sense of the Italian lessons at the Universita per Stranieri, adjusting to taking a mid-day pausa, and planning their travels throughout Italy and Europe. This week, many have questioned where the time has gone. As students prepare for finals week, we have heard that many of them wish they could stay longer. We agree; the students this semester certainly took advantage of every opportunity presented to them. In the time between those first few weeks and now, students have explored Perugia, Italy, Europe, and perhaps most importantly, themselves. It has been a joy to live among them in Perugia and we wish them all the best in their future endeavors. Happy … [Read more...]

Release date - February 9th 2015
Following countless sold out shows around the US and Europe, two entries in the official UK album charts with breakthrough album "The Whippoorwill" and live CD/DVD "Leave A Scar", southern rock kings Blackberry Smoke return with their brand new studio album, "Holding All The Roses".
As musically tight as ever, Atlanta's favourite sons have delivered another fine collection of perfectly crafted songs, and having recruited Grammy-winning producer Brendan O'Brien (Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, AC/DC), "Holding All The Roses" is already shaping up to be the must-have album of 2015!
Charlie Starr - "It's not a huge departure – there's really big rock'n'roll songs and some laid-back moments as well. We recorded live a lot again and we tried a few different things; some of it's top-secret but nothing that's so radically different. Have no fear. We didn't make a hip-hop record."
Track titles include Payback's A Bitch and Holding All The Roses, and Starr says of the latter number: "People are really going to be blown away by it. We're over the moon – it's a song that'll knock your head off. It's just relentless."
The band are just about to kick off their latest European tour, including their first ever show in Ireland and many of their 20 dates have already sold out! If you haven't got your ticket already, then pick one up now for your first chance to hear some of the new tracks from this stunner of an album!
Track listing:
01. Let Me Help You
02. Holding All The Roses
03. Living In The Song
04. Rock And Roll Again
05. Woman In The Moon
06. Too High
07. Wish In One Hand

Late Night host Stephen Colbert slammed Donald Trump in a radio interview, calling the Republican White House hopeful a "coward" for failing to come back on his late-night show.
"I would have him on tomorrow, but he's a coward," Colbert said in a short soundbite from an interview on SiriusXM's "The Bill Carter Interview."
"It's clear that Donald Trump is a coward because he won't come back on the show," Colbert added. "He's a chicken," Colbert said in the interview, set to air in full on Monday, October 3.
The last time Trump was a guest on Colbert's show was in September, 2015. He also called into the Late Show in February of this year.
The CBS star also said "there's never been a general election like this before," citing the newspaper USA Today's anti-Trump weekly editorials.
"USA Today for God's sake. The thing that gets slipped underneath your door. The cartoon page masquerading as a newspaper says totally unqualified," Colbert said. "We're not saying vote for Hillary, just don't vote for him. I've never seen that before. There isn't really a bifurcation."
Colbert also defended his late-night rival and Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon, who recently came under fire for what critics charged was a "softball" interview with Trump in September.
"Every host's responsibility is to be honest with themselves and with their audience about the kind of show that they do. So I fault no host who acts consistently and honestly," Colbert said, adding, however, that he makes it a point to "ask at least one question of some kind of substance with your guest."
Although Trump has been absent from Colbert's show, the real estate mogul has still been the butt of the late-night host's jokes. In July, Colbert appeared at the Republican National Convention dressed as a character from the Hunger Games franchise to mock Trump.
Colbert is set to host a live election-night special on Showtime on November 8.

News of 'Natty Narwhal' preview what's next for Ubuntu
FRAMINGHAM, 18 JANUARY 2011 - Ubuntu 11.04 may just be one of the most widely -- and sometimes even anxiously -- anticipated releases yet of Canonical's popular open source operating system.
That's because version 11.04, also known as "Natty Narwhal," will be the first release in which some major, game-changing decisions on Canonical's part will begin to be felt. Though the Wayland graphics system won't be ready in time for version 11.04, 3D-enabled Unity is the new default desktop interface in this new version, as we saw early last month when the first alpha version was released.
The next alpha version of Natty isn't due until the middle of next month, according to Canonical's release schedule, and a final version won't be released until the end of April. Future Ubuntu versions, meanwhile, haven't even been given an official name yet.
Nevertheless, several tidbits of news about the Linux-based operating system have emerged in recent weeks that only add to the Ubuntu excitement. Here's a small sampling.
Unity 2D
Those of us who don't yet have 3D-enabled hardware will surely be glad to learn that Natty Narwhal will offer a 2D version of the Unity desktop interface.
"Unity 2D's main goal is to provide a Unity environment on hardware platforms that don't support Unity's OpenGL requirements," wrote Canonical engineering manager Bill Filler in a blog post last Thursday. Many ARM platforms fall into this category, he noted, so Unity 2D will expand Unity's reach to a considerable class of new hardware.
"We've made a significant effort to try and match the visual style of Unity quite closely, so Unity 2D will have the same look and feel as Unity," Filler added. "It's installed as its own session so it can live side by side with Unity, Gnome, your favorite session, etc..."
Filler's post includes several screen shots of the 2D version of Unity. It can also now be installed in Ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04, according to reports; a video and installation instructions are even available.
Compiz, Not Mutter
Hand in hand with the Unity news last fall came word that Ubuntu 11.04 will use the Compiz window manager by default rather than Mutter, and that will soon boost the 3D version's speed considerably, Filler noted.
So, for those with hardware that supports it, the 3D version of Unity will offer more functionality and visual effects than the 2D version does, primarily because it can "harness the full power of OpenGL," Filler noted. Its speed will also be "much improved in the Natty cycle as it's moved away from Mutter/Clutter in favor of Compiz/Nux," he added.

Group A is a Japanese group, currently based in Berlin. The LP is a collection of previous releases with one new track (Deadly 16) out on Mecanica Records.
Group A's work crosses a boundary between live performance art and ambient industrial. The LP feels like the early UK industrial scene, pioneered by Throbbing Gristle and carried on in the USA by acts like Sleep Chamber.
You won't find repetitive club drum beats and pretty choruses. Instead your sound senses will be assailed with tape samples, jarring violins, spoken word and gritty shouted vocals, synth layers on layers and random rhythm samples. It's a dense wall of music that takes time to hear and appreciate. The reward for the patience is possibly the most unique creative industrial music that you will hear this side of the 2000s.
It's hard to rate a music only release by a group tha t is part performance art, please check out the video links if you haven't already. The visual is an integral part of the bands persona. I wish this was a VR or DVD release, compete with the immersive looping visuals the band is famous for. The LP is wrapped in fine black paper, with a silk-screened jacket and an exclusive insert with some graphics and notes. It can't compare to Group A's live musical theatre cabaret, but it does the job.

Can my employer force me to adopt homeworking when I'd rather work in the office?
Homeworking can be required as part of a job description for new starters, but if an existing office-based job is to be changed to homeworking, it should be a voluntary arrangement for both the worker and the employer.
The main terms of work are set out in the contract of employment entered into by an employer and an employee. One of those terms is work location. This can be changed only by mutual or collective agreement (though some employers may attempt to enforce changes by dismissing staff and then offering new terms). So you can't be forced to work from home, unless changes like this are provided for in your contract.
Some employment contracts include written terms known as 'mobility clauses', which allow the employer to make changes to your work location without your consent. Even if your contract contains this kind of term, your employer should still be acting reasonably, consulting with you and setting aside enough time before making any changes to enable workers to prepare, instead of forcing change on you.
Sometimes employers take a strategic decision to let go of office space to cut costs, asking some employees to work from home instead. This is likely to create a redundancy situation, and those unable or unwilling to work from home should be offered a redundancy payment if they have enough service.
Forcing you to change your work location from office to home would be a fundamental change in one of your core contract terms. Check those terms carefully, including any mobility clause, and take legal advice before you decide what action to take.
As with most initiatives, homeworking is best introduced through mutual agreement. Someone forced to work from home is unlikely to be as motivated or productive as someone who does so willingly.

No matter how chaotic they get. ;)
We have spent a lot of our week running errands, getting last-minute things for baby sister since I am full-term in two days (& freaking out just a little bit)! :) I finally got my breast pump, which I had been putting off forever, I'm sure other breastfeeding moms can relate, I really hate that thing but know I can't live without it. We got this one & my insurance covered it 100%. We also got a new video monitor, a double one so we can watch both girls in their rooms & I am so excited about it. I can't believe we waited this long to be able to spy on Waverly, we set it up last night & I felt like a total creeper but loved every second of knowing what goes down in there after I leave. I have a feeling this is about to get really entertaining!!
In other news, we had a couple play dates with some little ones, and celebrated Cinco de Mayo with the cutest festive dress & taco dinner with friends.
Lastly, I want to wish all of you a Happy Mother's Day weekend!! I follow some of the most inspiring moms I know & I couldn't be more thankful or think that you are all more than deserving of a relaxing weekend all about YOU! Enjoy every minute! XO

Washington: Prof. Vladimir Krasnopolsky, researcher from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, has designed a new model that provided the latest data of Titan`s atmosphere.
The atmosphere of Saturn`s largest moon was described by a model that took into account the presence of 83 neutral molecules and33 ions and420 different chemical reactions between them. Despite the fact that Titan has been located much further from the Sun than the Earth and that radiation flux coming from the Sun to the moon was 100 times less, the intensity of UV rays was enough to spur photochemical reactions in the upper layers of Titan`s atmosphere.
Titan`s atmosphere would be 1.6 times denser near the surface than the Earth`s air, and the data was obtained from several sources, the main of which was the Cassini orbiter. It was equipped with a number of gauges, including ultraviolet and infrared spectrometers and equipment for studying the ions that were drawn into space. Within ten years in Saturn`s orbit, a plasma complex and a mass spectrometer designed specifically for this research project gathered enough data to compare it with mathematical models.
Comparing this data with the previously developed model, Krasnopolsky showed that the theoretical description of Titan`s atmosphere matches the reality quite accurately. There were discrepancies, however, but they were caused by inevitable measurement errors, so far the concentrations of many substances are approximate. The most important thing was not the absolute matching of specific parameters but the correctness of the general model of chemical processes.
Krasnopolsky said that the coherence of the model with reality means that they could correctly tell where different substances go from Titan`s ionosphere and where they come from.
The article is published in the journal Icarus.

Day 5 of the 12 Days of WANDA! Part 5/12
On the 5th day of Christmas WANDA gave to me... resource tracking for inventory control!
Hi Everyone! We're back on track with day 5 of the 12 days of WANDA! Today, we're going to go over the 'Resources Used' reports, show you how to access it, and what you can do with the information. First, as displayed in the image below, make sure you're in the 'restroom application', then click on the 'Report's option to access the 'Resources Used' section. Once you reach the page, you can select a 'Start Date', an 'End Date', and which 'Resources' you want to look at. As you can see, 'Employees' and 'Units' are optional, in case you want to track if one employee is using more resources than another, or if certain washrooms are using up more resources than the others.
Once you hit 'Submit' the following report will be generated. As you can see, the report displays the number of each resource that is used for that day.
Since having the resources displayed for each day can be cumbersome to go through, we've included additional summaries for easier viewing as well. As you scroll down the page, the reports will also be organized into 'Monthly Totals', 'Yearly Totals', 'Area Totals', and 'Resource Totals'.
The great thing about having this information is the insight it provides over time. If you can see that September is your busier month compared to August this year, you can stock up at the end of August next year in order to be ready for September.
With these reports, you may also discover that you've been using so little of a certain resource that you now have excess inventory. For example, you noticed that 'Litres of hand soap' was barely changing over an entire month, and looking into it you realize it's because the dispensers are foam dispensers, which means the soap lasts a very long time. As a result, your 10 jugs of soap have just been sitting on the shelves for months, so in the future, you can order less soap to save costs.
We hope you liked this information! Let us know what you think or if you have any questions by emailing me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
