Hydra's immortality gene sheds light on human ageing
By Leon Gettler
December 9, 2012
The tiny freshwater polyp Hydra is a remarkable creature. It does not show any signs of ageing and appears to be immortal. Researchers from Kiel University have examined this phenomenon and uncovered an important link to the ageing process in humans that could lead to the development of advanced rejuvenation therapies.
How does the polyp Hydra do this? It accomplishes the feat of apparent immorality by reproducing through budding rather than mating. Each polyp contains stem cells capable of continuous proliferation. Without this endless supply of regenerating stem cells, the animals could not reproduce.

When you first meet Mike '10 and Stephen Saulpaugh '17, you get the sense you've known them forever. Maybe it's their witty banter. Maybe it's their self-deprecating senses of humor. Or maybe it's their mutual respect and admiration for one another or the way they draw you into their conversation. Whatever it is, it works.
Listening to them talk is like listening to a comedy act. They finish one another's sentences. They engage in good-natured ribbing. And they share a dozen similarities and intersecting interests, including their alma mater, St. Thomas Aquinas College.
"We've been sharing the same brain for over 20 years," Mike jokes.
Now they even share a business, SnuggleMud, a branding and creative house based in Fairlawn, New Jersey. Services include everything from high-level strategy and branding to social media, design and copy.
Neither earned a business degree. Mike earned his in social sciences education and Stephen earned his in communication arts. But their business is thriving, has landed a handful of high-profile clients, including People magazine, and has amassed a creative team that got its chops servicing Fortune 500 companies such as Pepsi, AMC and Mars, Incorporated.
But to understand how the brothers got here requires a step back to where they came from.
Mike '10, is the older brother, a fact Stephen rarely lets him forget. He chose STAC because he was looking for a small school with a nice campus and a strong teaching program.
He says education has always been the "family business," and it was something he had a feeling he'd be good at. After graduating in 2010, Mike landed a teaching position at Stephen's high school. He currently teaches 11th and 12th grade U.S. history and philosophy at Ridgewood High School in New Jersey.
"Stephen was a freshman in high school, so I would stop by and pick him up," Mike explains. "I got to know folks at the school, and when a position opened up, I interviewed and got it."
"I don't know if you heard this," Stephen interjects, "but everything he accomplished, he accomplished because of me."
Mike says that although he loves education, he has always been a "frustrated creative." To scratch the itch when he wasn't teaching, Mike began picking up freelance design work where he could and started dabbling in web design.
Stephen followed in his brother's footsteps, enrolling in STAC's education program before changing majors his sophomore year.
"Straying from the 'family business' was entering foreign waters, but my heart wasn't in education," Stephen says. "I knew I wanted to become a copywriter or marketing coordinator at an advertising agency, so I did everything I could to immerse myself in communication and interactive social media."
He landed his first job as a digital media specialist at HAKS, a global engineering firm headquartered in New York City, where he was responsible for directing the company's social media strategy, updating the websites, and overseeing branding initiatives.
No strangers to hard work and time management, both Mike and Stephen were involved on campus and off throughout their years at STAC. Mike served in the Student Government Association and worked as a resident assistant. Stephen kept busy with "eight million side hustles," from drumming in a band to freelance marketing jobs.
The brothers filed business paperwork for SnuggleMud on July 17, 2017. Since then, Mike and Stephen have added two close family friends, both creative directors with Fortune 500 experience. But what does SnuggleMud mean? Good question.
"We were wondering what to call our business, and Stephen said, 'I've been thinking about some words. I like Snuggle. What's a weird word that can come after it?'" Mike said, "I like 'mud.' Stephen said, 'That works.' And SnuggleMud was born."
Mike says the company is a team of freelancers who act as an end-to-end creative agency. Their focus is bringing big brand ideas to small companies. Current clients include chiropractic and physical therapy practices, retail outlets and entertainment destinations.
"We like to be able to say that our creative director from Time magazine can help your dry cleaning business," Mike says. "When you're running a small business, you might not have time to do social media or pay a huge agency for a marketing campaign. We can do it for them at a very competitive cost."
As for the future of SnuggleMud?
"We're not sure where it's going yet, but we're having a really good time," Stephen says. "The potential to grow is there. We have a solid team and great clients and a passion for what we're doing. We're happy to go wherever the journey takes us."

She wrote this in particular:
For a long time, when we talked about Indian things, I would call them by my words and she, who can speak Hindi and Gujarati, would "correct" me. "Oh, you mean ____!"This totally reminds me of my own language woes whenever I try, at home. In particular, last Christmas, when I was in the same car with an aunt.
"I guess so," I'd say, embarrassed by my country bookie mangling of proper Hindi.
I'd pointed out to her, "if you look there's eu tchar kwai."
She gave me a long puzzled look, and then exclaimed, "eu tcha' kwei!"
YES, the slight vowel differences matter! Because "yau tchar kwai" is Cantonese, and "eu tcha' kwei" is Hokkien, and because I'm familiar (somewhat) with both, I inadvertantly mixed the two together.
It's gotten to the point where I've started giving ESL students some slack. In my Teaching ESL certificate course, we were taught a game called "Computer". Basically, if a student had trouble saying a work, or mis-pronounced a word, we'd simply repeat it, and they'd imitate it, and we'd repeat it, until they were comfortable with their pronunciation (keep in mind, THEY decide when).
I hated that game. If I can hear them and understand what they're saying? Fuck it if they have an accent. It's okay for them to have an accent! People have accents! It reflects where they come from! Do we play it when British people talk around us? No!
All that matters is that they're understood, even if it takes us a couple of moments to get it. I tutored a Chinese student in Canadian Lit (she took the course because she wanted to understand English better) and she had difficulty with poetry. Of course she would! And it's not because she didn't understand English - it was because the cultural cues were vastly different from what she was used to.
When she spoke, she had a thick accent. I had to pay attention. Paying attention, ya'll, is not something I'm very good at sometimes! Especially when it comes to pure auditory stimuli (hence why I turn on closed-captioning and subtitles on TV and DVDs).
I'm not mad at my aunt for my feelings of utter inferiority, but being in that situation more and more makes me even more mad at the standards held against ESL students who're studying a language that's known for stealing from other languages' vocabularies and having several ways of pronouncing one word.
Anyways, back to my dialect woes - this is one of my big problems in learning Chinese, because I would very much like to learn a dialect, not the pu-thong-hwa. Something like Hokkien, or Cantonese, or Hainanese, because these are specific to my heritage.
But mostly? I'd like to just be understood when I try to speak Chinese.

Miami Dade College's (MDC) Miami Book Fair and Books & Books presents U.S. astronaut Scott Kelly as he discusses his memoir, Endurance: A Year in Space, A Lifetime of Discoveryon Monday, Oct. 30 at 7 p.m. This is a ticketed event. Purchase the book at Books & Books to obtain a voucher for two tickets. The working media is welcome.
It is a stunning memoir from the astronaut who spent a record-breaking year aboard the International Space Station--a candid account of his remarkable voyage, of the journeys off the planet that preceded it, and of his colorful formative years.
The veteran of four space flights and the American record holder for consecutive days spent in space, Kelly has experienced things very few have. Now, he takes us inside a sphere utterly inimical to human life. He describes navigating the extreme challenge of long-term spaceflight, both existential and banal: the devastating effects on the body; the isolation from everyone he loves and the comforts of Earth; the pressures of constant close cohabitation; and the catastrophic risks of depressurization or colliding with space junk.
He also relates the still more haunting threat of being unable to help should tragedy strike at home--an agonizing situation Kelly faced when, on another mission, his twin brother's wife, Gabrielle Giffords, was shot while he still had two months in space.
Kelly's humanity, compassion, humor, and passion resonate throughout, as he recalls his rough-and-tumble New Jersey childhood and the youthful inspiration that sparked his astounding career, and as he makes clear his belief that Mars will be the next, ultimately challenging step in American spaceflight. A natural storyteller and modern-day hero, Kelly has a message of hope for the future that will inspire for generations to come. Here, in his personal story, we see the triumph of the human imagination, the strength of the human will, and the boundless wonder of the galaxy.
Scott Kelly is a former military fighter pilot and test pilot, an engineer, a retired astronaut, and a retired U.S. Navy captain. A veteran of four space flights, Kelly commanded the International Space Station (ISS) on three expeditions and was a member of the yearlong mission to the ISS. In October 2015, he set the record for the total accumulated number of days spent in space, the single longest space mission by an American astronaut.

Get a Professional Lawyer to help you Pass your Drug Test
If you feel you are cornered at your place of employment and you have not been given notice prior to your drug test, you might seek the help of a professional lawyer. However several organizations choose to do a random drug test and if it is already listed in your professional agreement then there is nothing much you could do about it. Your lawyer, however, could give you some heads up and ideas on how you might be able to clear some tests if you inform him prior to your tests. The tips he could give would be able to keep you clear of your drugs from all those tests.
It is important however to find out what kind of test you will be subjected to. There are several kinds of the test starting from a blood test, urine test, a saliva test, a hair follicle test or even a sweat drug test. Each test has its own ways of showing drugs in your system. It is hence important flushing your system for a drug test. In some states however marijuana is an allowed drug so you might want to find out what are you testing for. Flushing out mainly involves keeping hydrated.
If you are subjected to a drug test, the first set of questions your professional lawyer might ask you if you are a habitual user or a single time user. The time that drugs stay up in the system is different for both kinds of users. If you are not a habitual drug user and have used it as a one-off time then the chances of flushing them out of your system might be easier. If you are a single time user then chances that the drug stays up in your system is around 2 – 3 days.

"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes…"
I wrote this post a few days ago, but saved it in my draft folder. Almost as if I hadn't finished with it, almost as if I needed to read someone else's perspective. And then I stumbled upon a blog post that so closely mirrored how I was feeling that it took my breath away. The author captured that moment when we are suddenly aware of our surroundings: the mud beneath our feet, the clouds in the sky, and the various sounds the wind makes.
I realized that there was something I had left out in my own post: gratitude. And I am thankful.
I am in Phoenix, Arizona, sighing with pleasure as I bask in the sun and stare at a robin's egg blue sky. It looks like someone has stretched cotton batting across its surface, so I am playing a game of "What Shape Is It?" I used to play this game when I was little, but I can't remember the last time I gave myself permission to play it. When my kids were small, maybe?
One of the shapes looks like the Snow Queen from Hans Christian Anderson has spread her arms wide in her quest to reach the heavens.
The sad truth is that I don't allow myself the luxury of playing creative games like this, now that I'm a grownup. Or, at least, not very often. Why not? The obvious answer is that I consider them to be a waste of time – time that could be better spent cleaning, preparing meals, or writing.
In short, I could be doing something more productive.
So, it's clearly time to "think different". In that light, here is today's intention: I will take at least 5 minutes every day to merely observe. Whether it's a snow-capped mountain in Phoenix, or a snow-covered hill in my backyard in Toronto, I will rest from the need to do.
Because if something lifts your spirits – like watching a sunset that would take your breath away, or flakes of snow sliding down your kitchen window – then what in the world could be more productive than that?
And let me add another intention: I will practice being grateful. Gratitude will be the first thing I choose to embrace each morning, rather than choosing to focus on my to-do list.
And, lastly, I will count my blessings, rather than keeping a list of grievances.
Because, when all is said and done, I have a pretty good life.

What am I theorizing about? It is not just a theory that the impossible cannot happen. People who say that one cannot be sure of anything are irrational because this is a contradiction in itself. Skepticism in the presence of contradictory evidence is appropriate, but as a fundamental principle is just wrong. Keeping open to the possiblility of the impossible existing is improper skepticism. It is to these two points that I am referring. So your answer to my question is that you won't answer it? I applaud Gallileo and Hitchens, but not in how they may maintain skepticism as universal and fundamental.
What can be clear from my reply is that whatever the theory about the probality of the impossible happening, it is always posssible to take firm decisions. If that remote possilibility is to affect our decision making, bold decesion making wil be nonexisting in the world. Look at the faithfuls. The do not have an iota of doubt about their faith. So, even if you are theoretically right, there will always be subjects on which we will be called upon to take a firm decision. I have stated that I myself have taken a firm decision, just to add force to my argument, because I felt that atheism is one subject that needs my bold decision.
Come on dude,
"whatever the theory about the probability of the impossible happening"
-I just can't take people seriously that think there is even a remote chance of the impossible happening. At least you're correct about there being no god.
My take is that god is extremely improbable. Equally improbable hypothese include unicorns and elves and ghosts.
In terms of everyday life, I think one has to assume that there is no god until such a time that the improbability of god's existence is reduced.
Furthermore, it makes no sense to assume in some improbabilities and not in others. Logic requires consistency. If you believe in god why not believe in other improbabilities such as Ra, elves, the loch Ness monster and Russell's flying celestial teapot?
MK, anti-faith certainty as a counterpoint?
I think if you believe in anything 100% then you are a fool or you have had a very lucky life. :-)
One of the most profound thing that I learned in college was "Never say Never, Never say Always".
So then, the Earth is sometimes flat and sometimes, humans can shit unicorns.
LOL. I just watched two programs about multiverses. Some speculate that every possibility, no matter how unlikely, is real in some multiverse somewhere, because they are infinite. It's disturbing to think there might be a place where the equivalent of angels are real. I don't worry about gods, because logically contradictory stuff isn't just very improbable, that's impossible.
The unicorns would have to be rather small. You bet Prep H is big business there.
One multiverse is fine, but everything in existence is still one everything. And no matter what the shape of the extra dimensions and the subsequent behavior of the vibrating strings, magic cannot happen, I know. For magic, gods, angels and miracles would no longer be such, the moment they have any specific identity or manifestation in reality. The people that speculate about any possibility, I'm sure, well, I hope, only refer to the possible, not the impossible. There is not another universe within the multiverse that, say, houseplants can start a car with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or that 2+2=51.7. Impossible is impossible, wherever you are. And who says that shitting unicorns wouldn't be a pleasant experience? It might feel like eating rainbows, which can make you taller if you do it on a Thursday morning.
I shit a unicorn once. Boy did it hurt. I am not sure it was a unicorn, but it felt like one.
Doubt is healthy. Fundies have no doubt. Or do they?
If I am more than 99.99999999% sure that there is no god, what is the point of discussing it? (I am 99.99% sure.) I don't have to convince myself or convert anybody. Lets argue if water is wet, if the sun is hot, or ice is cold. The better discussion is how can any educated person think otherwise? Why does 56% of American don't believe in evolution?
You did not shit a unicorn. Constipation or anal fissures or hemorrhoids don't count as unicorns. Doubt that 2+2=4 is not healthy. I care not, nor do I think it germaine, that fundies are certain of their faith, which is retarded. Many many people believe in god and not evolution, despite their "education", which in the matters of reason and logic, is quite deficient. The point is that if you are only 99.999999999% sure, that means you think that the possibility of the impossible can happen is greater than 0, which in effect means that you think anything is actually possible, which is about as smart as creation 6000 years ago. The statement that anything is possible is false.

1969-70 saw Topps' second release, and from this point on there would be only one year without an NBA baseketball card issue. It was the first of Topps' two tall card sets...it makes them very difficult to store and when you find them for sale they usually are not in particularly great shape. The key card from this set is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's Rookie card, known then as Lew Alcindor. I don't believe I've ever even seen one in person. The checklist from this set is also one of, if not the hardest to find checklist unchecked off.From this season until 1981-82, Topps is the only company with the NBA license.

I can't seem to find the English tenses of these sentences. They're in a book I'm reading, which was published in 1926.
She had scarcely time to assemble her feelings about this before he was arrived.
They were come out to seize on her soul.
The grammar seems a little stilted, or perhaps an obsolete usage.

Boston Mini Reunion May 2017
Dartmouth Class of 1969
Boston Mini-Reunion
May 3-5, 2017
A grand time was had in Boston by a group of 45 '69s, family, and friends from May 3rd through 5th. This mini-reunion kicked off with an elegant dinner at Island Creek Oyster Company in Kenmore Square. A short walk took us to Fenway Park and a Red Sox 4-2 victory over the Orioles (to the chagrin of three Baltimorons in our company—Alan Lake and Arthur and Shirley Fergenson), an event arranged for us by Jeff Bloomberg. Jeff also was instrumental, we have been reliably advised, in the entire ballpark to be painted green in our honor.
A clear, bright sky greeted our group on Thursday morning for a guided walk down the Freedom Trail from the Boston Common to the Old North Church. Andy McLane obtained the delightful services of a professional guide for the journey. She was suitably decked out in period costume (whose accuracy could have used Nanalee's gimlet eye), and she delighted in tracing her ancestry to an indentured servant brought over to this country to work for the Boston Brahmins who ran the environs. Irene Jacobs was disturbed by the terrible condition of the historic graveyard owned (and ignored) by the City, and she promised to write letters of protest to the press (which still operates, we are reliably informed, in Beantown).
An Italian dinner followed at Mother Anna's in Boston's historic North End. On Friday, Andy arranged for VIP treatment at the Museum of Fine Arts, including a docent-led tour of the permanent collection. Andy revealed his passion for Hudson River School paintings, one that he shares with Peter Elias, focusing on paintings of the New Hampshire White Mountains, one of the favorite subjects of the practitioners of this movement in America.
The mini-reunion ended at Henrietta's Table, off Harvard Square, on Friday evening. Thirteen of us lingered for more than three hours: friendships made and renewed, ties deepened, and pledges to do this again soon.
Norman Jacobs and Andy McLane organized the reunion from start to finish, with, in each case, the invaluable support of their spouses. Jeff Bloomberg obtained the Red Sox tickets.
The following plus some children, grandchildren and friends participated: Bob Anthony & Anne Peschel, Mark & Ann Bankoff, Steve Barrett, John & Elizabeth Beck, Jim Becker & Mimi Macksound, John & Judy Bisson, Jeff & Suzanne Bloomberg, Arthur & Shirley Fergenson, Jay & Danielle Glaser, Dick Glovsky, Clint & Meg Harris, Dona Heller & Mike Saphier, Roy Hitchings, Norman & Irene Jacobs, Dick Jenson & Pat DeLeeuw, Alan Lake, Ted & Debbie Leach, Andy & Linda McLane, Dick Meckstroth & Carol Feld, Nick Perencevich, Fred & Susan Putnam, Ben Romney, and Jeff Saffer.
Plans are afoot to organize a single night mini-reunion in Boston for the November Dartmouth football game at Fenway, and next Spring Dudley Kay and Steve Larson are in the early stages of putting together a Southern States wingding.

Andy McLane, Co-Chair

Enhancing Tips by Jamaica Plain Decorators to earn Any type of Area Better
We are creative kinds by nature and love to visualize, dream and also check out, following our instinct. That said, there are some rough concepts that lead us to make certain a great outcome each time. They are simply attempted as well as true things that work. And also these typically aren't methods or abilities that take years to master.
1. Pick the paint color last.
I get telephone calls regularly from house owners who intend to choose a paint shade prior to they move in. I obtain the logic. Why not arrive to walls with a fresh layer of paint? Of course you could do it in this manner, however in my viewpoint it's not suitable.
There are hundreds of paint shades with various colors, tones as well as tones. And each one looks various from house to house, due to the fact that source of lights differ, indicating exactly what looks excellent in your present home may not in your brand-new one.
2. Give your furniture some breathing room.
Stand up to congestion a room. Thoughtful living means space to steer effortlessly. This is truly excellent information if you are working with a tight budget plan. You don't have to fill up a space with lots of furnishings.
3. Hang art work at the appropriate elevation.
Galleries as well as galleries hang artwork so that the midline (center) of each item is 57 inches to 60 inches from the floor. (The typical human eye level is 57 inches.) And you must do the very same.
In a room similar to this, where the ceilings soar, there might be a propensity to hang the art greater. However keep in mind: It should relate to human range, not the structure's scale.
4. Know how to prepare furniture on a carpet.
There are generally 3 methods you could prepare furnishings on your rug.
All on: The carpet is huge enough to place every one of the furnishings legs on top of it. This creates a more luxurious feel. For this, larger is much better. Simply make certain to leave at the very least 12 to 18 inches of floor surface on all four sides of the carpet's borders.
5. Withstand the urge to be too theme-y.
For example, the Cape Cod look is a preferred request. You know the hallmarks: beadboard, a blue and white nautical combination, some sailboat paintings.
6. Create a prime focus.
There are leading duties as well as sustaining actors participants in any kind of production. The same is true in layout. Pick your star and make it the centerpiece to secure a space. Permit various other items to take an additional role. Don't ask every little thing to have a leading role; it will certainly just result in visual sound.
Your focal point might be a dramatic hood in the kitchen, a mantel as well as art item in the living room or a headboard in the bed room. Whatever it is, select something that will certainly attract focus.
7. Think about sight lines.
Your focal point must be free as well as clear from one area to the following, to ensure that it feels like you're being drawn in between them. That's why the very best spot for a centerpiece is normally straight throughout from the entry to the area.
8. Edit your antiques.
Don't hang on to an item that just doesn't fit. I don't care if your great-aunt Sally offered it to you. If it's not working for you, then locate a brand-new house for it (perhaps in a various space).
9. Vary the range.
What looks excellent in the shop could resemble an elephant in the room when you bring it residence. Or it's too tiny to be of any value. So always vary scale and percentage.
The oversize sunburst mirror structure fills the wall surface area well below, while the sand dollars make a fascinating organizing below. They would certainly be a lot too irrelevant independently. Threes as well as fives make for even more pleasing arrangements compared to also numbers.
10. Add layers of lights.
In this kitchen sitting location, the backsplash is lit, the art work is highlighted and also the cupboard insides are loaded with light. One main lighting component would not have had almost the same significant outcome.
Professionals construct layers of lighting to develop interest, intrigue as well as selection. In a space where every little thing is lit uniformly, nothing sticks out. Pick a centerpiece and also maybe a second centerpiece and also highlight those.
11. Be bold.
Individuality is what makes a space wonderful. Make your very own declaration as well as have fun. The more you try, the much more you will certainly start to see what jobs and also just what does not.
Integrate unforeseen aspects for dramatization. The unusual footrest seats, library-style shelfs and also oversize chandelier here are all unanticipated in a traditional living-room, yet the result has charisma.
12. Neglect all concepts in favor of creative thinking.
Having some standards gives people an excellent beginning point for equipping and decorating their residence, also if several of them typically aren't practical for a certain area.
Opt for something personal that makes you grin and also, most of all, fits. Overly developed areas do not really convert in contemporary life. A cushion collection and also an art plan that are relatively haphazard, as shown here, produce a dressed-down look with plenty of style.
Select your star as well as make it the focal point to secure a room. Your focal point ought to be cost-free as well as clear from one area to the next, so that it feels like you're being attracted between them. That's why the best spot for a focal factor is typically straight across from the entry to the space.
If it's not functioning for you, then locate a brand-new house for it (perhaps in a various space).
What looks great in the store might look like an elephant in the area when you bring it residence.

It's solid oak and it's gorgeous, but it's formal. Very formal. So describes our dining room furniture. Since moving to the coast, we downsized and have quickly adapted to a more casual lifestyle. I've prayed for the last year or so for new dining room furniture which would better fit our lower-keyed lifestyle. What I desire to purchase, even though it's simpler and more relaxed, is still a substantial sum of money. My husband was not 100% on board with my objective, but was willing.
But God's answer was, "No." Maybe another time; maybe not at all. The Lord impressed me to use the funds to protect the investment we already had—our home. It needs a new coat of paint, which certainly isn't as glamorous as new furniture.
I understand my particular situation isn't life altering, but what about other petitions we take to the Lord and our spirit hears, "No"?
Perhaps it's a job change you desire, but after praying about it you feel no peace.
Maybe you feel it's finally time to move to a new location, but all you're hitting are roadblocks.
It could be you've been dreaming of a big trip or vacation, but nothing is falling in place for it to happen.
Or, possibly it is a big purchase and the Lord tells you to spend the money elsewhere.
During the Apostle Paul's second missionary trip, he deeply desired to travel into the province of Asia to share the good news of Jesus Christ. Scripture tells us the Holy Spirit turned Paul and his companions back, and instead, God directed them into Macedonia. "… having been kept by the Holy Spirit from preaching the word in the province of Asia. When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to." (Acts 16:6b-7, NIV) From there, they traveled down to Troas, bypassing Mysia, and Paul received a vision of a Macedonian man pleading with him to, "Come over to Macedonia and help us." (Acts 16:9b, NIV) When the Lord reordered Paul's steps, the result was abundant fruit, beginning with the salvation of Lydia, the first documented convert to Christianity in Europe. From there the gospel spread throughout the continent. God's plans were definitely larger and better than Paul's intentions.
What blessings might we miss if we go our way instead of yielding to the times God says, "No"?
Perhaps in the future there will be a good time to donate the dining room furniture we have, and purchase something more practical. However, right now, the house needs painting and there are ministry opportunities which need financing.
Father God, It seems I've been praying so hard about a certain desire or situation and I'm impressed it's not something you wish for me at this point in my life. Help me to yield to your Spirit and realize "No" is not a bad thing, as you have superior plans. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Bible Truths:
Psalm 32:8 (NIV): "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you."
Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV): "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Ive stayed a lot of places and never left a negative review. But I cant in good conscience recommend this experience. The listing and photos are very inaccurate. The photos are stretched and distorted to make the space look much bigger than it is and to hide the fact that it's ol…
Response from Michelle:
I have been a host on Airbnb for four years and I have never had such a horrible experience with a guest. When Erin first got here, I called to check in and she was incredibly RUDE and downright MEAN. I couldn't fathom why someone was so rude to me when they are staying in my own home. I asked her if anything was wrong, and it was only then she said that the place was not she thought it would be. She had several complaints, which shocked me because I had had the place professionally cleaned by a task rabbit person with top reviews and my best friend had was there with the cleaning person the whole time and had personally makes sure that everything was up to standard. I offered to send someone over rectify her grievances immediately (I was out of town) and she turned me down and said she didn't want that. I have had amazing reviews from guests for four years about the accuracy of my listing, their enthusiasm for the place, and my care and concern for guests. I have since escalated this to an Airbnb case manager as I believe that hosts with great reviews should be protected from guests who state gross inaccuracies about their place. I hope this abusive, innaccurate review will not be up long, but in the mean time, here is my detailed response: 1) "Inaccurate photos" – the photos were taken with the panoramic option on an iPhone. Anyone who uses this photo function knows that it is intended to show a room 180 degrees and that it spans the width of the photo from right to left. Not meant to be an "exaggeration" if you understand the function of a panoramic view. My description clearly states that the place is 800 square feet inside and all other guests have commented on the accuracy of my place matching my description and there being tons of room. I also have photos from the cleaning woman before Erin came showing that the place was CLEAN and a second person, my best friend, who inspected the place, so to say I don't care about my guests is a gross inaccuracy. I also offered to rectify Erin's complaints by hiring a friend who is an expert at beautifying spaces, as I was out of town at the time. Erin turned me down. She would not accept any offers of accommodations to make it to her likings despite my offering it a few times in our conversation. This surprised me. 2) Bedroom size – I have a screen with a painting on it that covers my closet and behind the screen are many cardboard boxes stacked behind it. They are out of site and out of the way. The boxes and screen take up 3.5 feet of my room in depth. The entire room is almost 20 feet wide so to say that the screen and boxes take up half the room is a gross inaccuracy. The screen is in photos and I am transparent that it is there (there is a painting of woman on a screen in bedroom photos). There are not other boxes about the apartment has Erin inaccurately states. 3) My bedside manner – I was beyond kind and accommodating to Erin. I went out of my way to see how we could make her happy. I even checked in with her during her stay. I was kind. She was very rude and mean to me on the phone but despite that I continued to be kind and accommodating. 3) Towels; There was entire closet full of clean towels next to the bathroom that I told Erin about when she made this complaint. The cleaning woman left one towel out in the bathroom which would not be my aesthetic choice. At the same time, it is not a mortal sin. Every towel in the bathroom and hall closet were clean. 4) Soap: I asked the cleaning woman about the soap that Erin claims was dirty/old. She said there was soap in the dish in the bathroom when she came to clean. She said it was not brand new but it was certainly not dirty. Again, another exadderation. 5) Bedding – the cleaning woman forgot to put pillow cases on two large pillows that were in the back of bed behind the other main pillows. That was her mistake, but they certainly weren't spit stained. They are expensive down pillows that have never used without a pillow case. Re a top sheet, I use a duvet cover which is why there was no top sheet. 6) Money for cleaning fees- Erin bargained her way down with me to get me to go down to $800 (about $150 off my regular fees). I reluctantly agreed, but when I recrunched the numbers to make my offer to her, I couldn't get it to hit exactly $800, only $752, so Erin agreed to (Hidden by Airbnb) me the rest of the money when she got there. Those fees were meant to cover cleaning fees, which she later defaulted on, not keeping her agreement. She was outraged when I asked her for the funds she had promised to send which were meant to cover cleaning when she left so it could be clean for the next guest. It's ironic that she defaulted on her own cleaning fees, which I had to pay out of pocket for, but then complains when someone had the place professionally cleaned for her and it wasn't good enough for her. Ironic. She broke her own agreement to cover her cleaning fees separately by (Hidden by Airbnb) . 7) Replacing items – I never asked her to replace every ziplock bag, toilet paper, etc. That is another gross inaccuracy. I asked that if she used the laundry detergent to replace it because the cleaning woman comes by between tenants and needs access to it so she can wash the sheets for the next guest. But Erin cut me off midway through my request during my conversation with her so I guess she didn't hear me accurately. I found her very difficult to speak with on our initial call, as if I couldn't get a word in edgewise and there was a very evident rudeness, which was extremely uncomfortable. 8) The patio. The patio collects soot from the LA environment very easily and so when it is cleaned, it does not stay clean for more than 2 days before the soot from LA casts over it. No other guest I've had in four years has had an issue with the patio. I find it really sad and scary that guests can actually be this abusive, being mean to them on the phone when they are staying in that person's home, complaining about things that no one else observes (two witnesses who saw the place: cleaning woman and my best friend) and then refusing to let the host make any accommodations so they are happier, then leaving horrible reviews on things that don't even check out as facts and are gross distortions. I hope other hosts will be protected from people like Erin. I am grateful that Airbnb protects its loyal hosts and will likely take Erin's review down as a case manager looks into this. p.s. notice my star ratings from Erin do not match with what she has written above. The facts don't check out.

A pastry chef, sacked after he used non-kosher jam while working at a kosher bakery, has won a big compensation payout after employment judges ruled he had been victimised and unfairly dismissed.
Cake decorator, Toufik Benali, was dismissed from Carmelli Bakeries Ltd, in Golders Green, north London, after bosses said he had committed a "gross infringement of religious rules" by using strawberry jam from Tesco in June, 2011.
Mr Benali was awarded £35,500 damages by an employment tribunal in December, last year after it found the family business guilty of "victimisation" under the Equality Act and of unfairly dismissing him.
Three judges at London's Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) have now dismissed a challenge by Carmelli Bakeries to that decision - saying it was "not perverse" - but ordered that the size of his Mr Benali's award be reconsidered.
Mrs Justice Slade, a High Court judge sitting in the appeal tribunal, said Mr Benali began work as a pastry chef at Carmelli in May, 2004 but the company's attitude towards him "hardened" after a dispute in 2008.
On that occasion, Mr Benali issued a employment tribunal claim over alleged wrongful deductions from his holiday pay and disability discrimination relating to 10 months he missed from work with sciatica between 2007 and 2008.
The untested claim was settled, but Carmelli viewed him as a "problem employee" thereafter; tensions rose further in June, 2008 when Mr Benali repeatedly complained that his duties were not adjusted for his disability, the appeal judge added.
Mrs Justice Slade said the store manager, David Carmelli, refused to accept Mr Benali was disabled. He said during last year's tribunal hearing: "If you can't do what the job demands, you should get another job. It doesn't make sense".
Then, in June, 2011, the conflict came to a head when one of Mr Benali's superiors discovered a receipt for two non-kosher jars of jam from Tesco, the judge added.
Mrs Justice Slade said the store operated in "strict adherence" to traditional Jewish Kedassia standards and the use of a non-kosher ingredients could have the "catastrophic effect" of being stripped of its licence by a Rabbi.
Mr Benali admitted using the jam to make a cake, knowing it was not kosher, but denied having told a cleaner to buy some at Tesco. He said he felt his employers were "simply waiting for him to do something wrong."
They were "waiting for him to do something wrong" AND HE DELIBERATELY DID SOMETHING WRONG.
I don't know what the laws are in the UK but this would be grounds for termination in the US. Also too, if he was working at a Halal bakery and slipped something Haraam into the cake. Likewise, if he was working at a Vegan bakery and slipped something non-Vegan into the cake.

Ranger, Georgia may be the farm's mailing address, but it's the banks of the Coosawattee River north of Ranger that Riverview Farms calls home. Nestled into a crook of the river, the farm has been our family's stewardship since the 1970s; we started growing certified organic crops in 2000. Today, we operate our entire farm as a closed-loop, single-source entity, one that exceeds organic standards. We grow delicious produce, heritage breed pork, grass-fed beef, and grains that we gently grind into grits, cornmeal, and polenta.
Our farm isn't small and it isn't big. We fall in the middle, exactly where farming of the future will be. We use natural cycles to increase the fertility of our farm's soil over time: cover cropping, crop diversity, composting, and rotational grazing through pasture and forest. The vitality of our soil is the bottom line for every farming decision.
Our animals happily roam in the fresh air of the pastures, forests, and swamps of their home, every day. All of our animals are bred, born, and raised on the farm, and we grow everything that they eat from feed crops, to pastures, forests, and non-sellable-but-delicious-to-them veggies. Yes, pigs love melons and tomatoes too! Thanks to their manure, our fields are fertilized with rich organic compost.
Living in harmony with the cycles of nature and the communities that we feed, the quality and flavor of our food tells the Riverview Farms story. One bite and you'll know the difference that full-circle farming makes. -visit site

Wellfleet, MA

Wellfleet oysters have been considered some of the world's best for generations. The Wellfleet oyster is an eastern oyster, crassostrea virginica by species, the same kind of oyster that grows in Long Island Sound, as far south as the Chesapeake Bay, and up into Canada's Maritime Provinces in the north. In the beginning of the 1800s, Wellfleet's native oyster population was nearly depleted. Aquaculture, as we know it today, began as Wellfleetians imported young oysters from points south, flavored and fattened them in local estuaries, then harvested them for sale in the lucrative Boston market. Although people may not agree on which oysters are best, they do agree a real difference exists among oysters grown in different locations. Wellfleet oysters tend to be long and strong-shelled. Experienced tasters know that they are plump and clean with a distinctively good balance of creamy sweetness and brine. But what else makes Wellfleet oysters special? -visit site

Bought this game for myslef when it came out and i loved it . I completed the story mode within 24 hours and I got 100 percent completion within a week. This game is still going strong. Graphics are so clear and crisp and the open world paris is stunning. The charcter is also very good. Lost one star because of the bugs at release which quickly got patched.
I do like the direction that they are going with this game - I like how they have changed the combat and the parkour aspect however I can see why people would criticize this and fans of the whole series may want to revert back. I think the story does leave a bit to be desired but ultimately does the job of leading onto another game. I hope the next game will be better - I have owned every single assassins creed and probably will continue to do so as I love the series but for me this wasn't the best yet and I feel there could have been more done to improve this.
you need to include this in review :) Assassin's Creed Unity: Special Edition - Assassin's Creed Unity game - 1 additional single player mission for an extra 30 minutes of gameplay: The Chemical Revolution: Antoine Laurent de Lavoisier is considered to be the "Father of Modern Chemistry".

Theology of Church Renewal
Jason Vickers is a professor of theology and Wesley Studies at United Theological Seminary in Dayton. He has just written a helpful little book about the theology of renewal, a work primarily focused on introducing to students the nature of the church and on offering useful commentary on the wide-range of movements currently dotting the church's landscape (e.g., missional, emergent, new monastic, etc.).
Vickers' book is not a "how-to" book, and it is not about "quick-fixes." Instead, it supplies a well-grounded theology to the nature and work of the triune God and the ways we are called to participate in God.
Vicker's volume provides a helpful introduction to those who are seeking to understand the church's mission in the world and the theology that informs that mission.

Need Girl Scout Cookies? There's An App For That
Need Girl Scout Cookies? There's An App For That
The Girl Scouts of American have announced that as they celebrate their 100th year, they are going high-tech with cookie sales.
The "Girl Scout Cookie Locator" app has been launched in the iTunes App Store and the Android Market. The free app will use a phone's GPS locator to identify the nearest Girl Scout cookie booth.
The app is a free download for both platforms.
The Girls Scouts began baking cookies in 1917, selling them in school cafeterias. The cookie fundraiser now generates millions of dollars for the Girl Scouts as troops sold nearly 200 million boxes last year.
So which cookie is the favorite? The Thin Mint is the biggest seller for the troops, accounting 25 percent of overall sales.

The following leadership development case study was done in the South African branch of an international logistics company that is part of a worldwide corporate network that specializes in global logistics, freight forwarding, clearing and supply chain management operating in 37 countries with facilities in America, Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia and the Indian subcontinent.
The organization is an international logistics company who is developing the leadership of the company according to the transformation goals and guidelines of South Africa. Neuro-Link in alliance with the Empowerment Academy are the leadership development consultants empowering company to achieve their transformation goals.
Regardless of working towards achieving the transformation goals and the subsequent succession planning that had to take place, concerns were raised by the HR executive of a declining learning culture, an increase in workplace conflict and unsatisfactory service levels that required immediate attention.
As consultants specializing in the neuroscience of workplace learning, Neuro-Link was contracted by the Empowerment Academy to develop a leadership/succession planing process called the Impact Program. This program also took additional personal development needs into consideration and address it.

Meal planning
Before my workout I get my lemon water in to boost my energy for the workout, and then I sometimes drink some turmeric water while working out.
About thirty minutes after my workout I will have that breakfast smoothie.
Breakfast is based on the type of workout that happened that morning. If I do a HIIT workout I will add in less, and after a strength workout add in more. A strength training workout meal for my husband however would be gluten free oats, finely ground flax seed, 1/2 scoop of any protein, a handful of berries, and a couple teaspoons of hemp milk or almond milk... or sometimes he does local raw milk. You do have to have carbs after you strength train, but you need that protein to build your muscles. If I've done a straight up cardio workout then I'll have my recovery drink mixed with just coconut water {electrolytes} mixed with Protein, Organic Super Green Juice, Minerals & Antioxidants, blueberries and ice, a hand full of carrots and my sacha inchi seeds.
So what can you eat?
What Can You Eat as a Paleo Vegan or Paleo Vegetarian:
Always - pastured eggs, pastured + organic, full fat, fermented yogurt/kefir, organic tempeh, natto, edamame
Sometimes - organic eggs, grass-fed whey protein, organic tofu (extra-firm), lentils, various soaked and rinsed beans, hemp or pea protein powder

Secret Betting Club
Today, the club under scrutiny is the Secret Betting Club.
The Secret Betting Club's strap line is "How To Make Money Betting Online". So what do you actually get if you join the club?
The Club publishes "secret" reports on the betting world in particular details of "tipsters and systems that can make you money betting". Updated six times per year it contains the profit and loss details of over 50 different short-listed tipsters with performance statistics over both the medium and long term. These tipsters are largely independent and not the ones you will find on the major platforms such as Betfan. Many of the tipsters offer discounts for Club members.The tipster reports show a lot of useful information:-
- Which tipster has made the largest profit all-time
- Which tipster has had the best past 12 months
- Which tipster generates the highest Return on Investment
- Which tipster makes the largest return on your betting bank (Return on Capital)
- Which tipsters offer the lowest workloads to follow
- Which are easy to get on at the advised odds
The reports also show profit figures after fees have been taken into account. (What is the point of following a tipster which makes you £1,000 a year on your horse racing betting if he charges you £1,000 a year for the privilege?) These reports must be the most comprehensive and clear that I have seen.
In addition to the profit reports there is a magazine (for download) every second month with reviews on new tipster services, betting systems, software and strategies. Also advice on how to get bets on at the best prices and how to reduce chances of being banned by the bookies when you become too unprofitable for them!
There are a whole raft of articles in the magazines or published as separate downloadable guides which will help you in your betting. Members get access to the full back catalogue.
In addition, members get access to the Secret Betting Club Forum which includes members tips as well as some free tips from commercial tipsters. Now, not all of these are necessarily profitable but for the most part there are clear profit and loss figures shown to help you decide which may be worth following.
There are three levels of membership with the most popular (according to the Club) being the Gold level. I have to say this option makes the most sense to me. The price of annual membership (at the time of writing) is just under £96 including 20% VAT .
The Silver Option comes in £12 less at just under £84 per annum but you lose a lot of benefits so I am not going to go into it.
At the other end of the scale the Platinum option will set you back £48 more than the Gold at just under £144. This option brings you access to the United States Sports Tipster reports. If you are not into US sports then save your money. But if you are already interested in US Sports or keen to find out more then there are some very, very detailed tipster reports. Some of the tipsters are offering quite substantial discounts to Platinum members – you could save more than twice the £48 extra cost for Platinum if you signed up to just one of these!
The Club offers a no-quibble 30-day money back guarantee if you are not satisfied for any reason. (I have not attempted to claim under the guarantee but I would be surprised if it was not honoured.)
If you bet (or are considering betting) on the horses or football then there is no question that you should give the Club a try. If you bet on the golf, darts – or even US sports! – then there's still plenty in the Club for you.
The Secret Betting Club was actually the first betting club I joined – I found it invaluable especially in the early part of my betting career.
Click on the following link to go the Secret Betting Club website for full details of what they have to offer and to sign up for a membership or claim free samples of a magazine, tipster report and a football system.

"Reed + Rader's work is high fashion, yet still approachable," says Quynh Mai, founder of MIC. "Their GIFs are high-quality and beautifully executed. There's a sense of fantasy and magic within their work."
They have reached the enviable position of being treated as hands-on collaborators by their clients. "Clients aren't going to come to us to shoot a girl against a white wall," Reed says. Rader concurs: "When a client approaches us, they pretty much leave it up to us. They have a vague scope, but it's, 'Work some magic,' which is awesome."

The Bush-Pombo Combo
It won't come as a surprise to many that President Bush is campaigning in cahoots with everyone's favorite state representative-cum-environmental hooligan, Richard Pombo of California (R-Tracy). We learned yesterday from a piece in the Tracy Press that President Bush will attend a $250-a-head fundraising breakfast for Pombo and another California state representative, John Doolittle (R-Rocklin).
The president isn't the only one helping Pombo out:
Oil and gas companies have been major donors to Pombo this campaign cycle, and as House Resources Committee chair, Pombo pushed for oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
What are Pombo's prospects? It was previously thought that as an incumbent, he was almost guaranteed reelection. But according to a recent poll, it's not a sure thing. Only 46 percent of those polled said they would vote for Pombo, and 6 percent were undecided. But the Pombo camp isn't buying it. Our favorite quote in the Tracy Press article: "'They're either polling in fantasy land or in Berkeley,' said Pombo campaign manager Carl Fogliani."
Fogliani is clearly confused, since every hippie worth his patchouli knows that Berkeley is fantasy land. Duh.

Many people are afraid of spiders. By some accounts, 50 percent of women and 18 percent of men suffer from arachnophobia. Take a moment to stare deep into one's eyes sometime and you can probably understand why. Still, scientists think this common phobia is so deeply ingrained in us for a sound evolutionary reason. In the early stages of human development, spiders posed a serious threat to our health and well-being. Being terrified of them made you a lot more likely to avoid them, thereby not getting bitten and, as a result, living long enough to procreate and spread those spider-fearing genes. In other words, being afraid of the little eight-legged critters is just part of a healthy survival instinct. But despite their creepy-crawly nature, don't take spiders for granted, they are way cooler than you think.
Cool Spider Fact No. 1:
There are few wilder, denser environments than the tropical forests of the Philippines. Here you will find, if you dare to stroll its dangerous paths, the jumping spider (Phintella piatensis), which is not a bit scrupulous about taking advantage of its forest brethren for its own gain. This spider intentionally nests near the ultra-aggressive Asian weaver ant (Ocecophylla smaragdina) in order to use them as an unwitting bodyguard. You see, the jumping spiders' primary predator is the hostile spitting spider (of the family Scytodidae), its "arch-enemy," if you will. This spider is so named because it propels a sticky gum from its fangs that renders its prey immobile just long enough for it to inject its victim with venom and wrap it up in silk. The spitting spider's primary prey, of course, is the jumping spider, but since the weaver ants act as a barrier between the two spiders, the timid jumping spider is happy to make them their neighbor.
Cool Spider Fact No. 2:
Researchers from the American Museum of Natural History and the University of Manchester have just discovered something unexpected on a 305 million-year-old harvestman fossil. The harvestman, a close relative of the spider, was found to have an extra pair of eyes on the sides of its abdomen. Presumably the arachnid's increased visual exposure would have helped it to detect prey, and more importantly, predators. You know what they say, "Four eyes are better than two…"
Cool Spider Fact No. 3:
It is not uncommon for broken bones to be treated by the insertion of metal plates, screws, and other foreign hardware into the body. This is a painful process, prone to infection, and of course requires not one but two operations, at least. However, new research is looking into the use of spider's silk as the source material for this sort of surgical hardware. Rather than using steel, doctors could one day use screws made from the same kind of silk spun by silkworms and spiders. This silk is comparatively five times stronger than steel, and much less prone to infection.
Cool Spider Fact No. 4:
In the "very cool but also pretty terrifying" department, the Brazilian wandering spider regularly ranks as one of the deadliest in the world. It belongs to the genus Phoneutria, the Greek term for "murderess." This spiders venom is so potent that a bite can kill a full-grown adult within a few minutes. Even if the proper antidote is administered in time, sometimes the victim may still die. As if that weren't bad enough, sometimes the spider's bite can cause a painful erection in men. Because of this, the venom of this spider has been considered as a possible element in medications for erectile dysfunction. The wandering spider is so named because it does not spin a web, but rather wanders around the ground, hunting for its prey.
So, yes, spiders can be a little creepy. Sure, there are over forty thousand different species crawling around all over the world. There are probably even a few hiding really close to you right now. But, give them a chance. If you take a little time to learn more about them, you will find that spiders are a lot cooler than you thought. You might even make a new friend or two.
