We have been unexpectedly inundated with requests for our jobs' board. Although we are thrilled so many amazing organisations are keen to really work at connecting with female employees, sadly we have also realised we simply do not have resources to sustain the jobs' board at the capacity we would like (we are all volunteers with full-time jobs). We hope to bring the jobs board back this autumn.
In the meantime, we have been looking at alternative ways to connect employers and job seekers – and from now on are offering the below, which is a bit simpler both for us to manage and hopefully people interested in advertising.
Get a newsletter advertising slot for programme, event, or job opportunity
- 90 words
- 1 x additional web link (e.g. to 'apply here')
- 1 x logo
- Only 2 x slots are available per newsletter to maintain the quality of the communication.
- From £150 per slot.
- Newsletters are monthly – the next newsletter eligible for this will be in around 3-4 weeks.
If you are advertising a job, we suggest that you mention in the newsletter:
- What the role is
- Who the company is
- Expected pay for the role
- Who / where to contact for further information
In your link, we then suggest the following is covered:
- Main responsibilities of the role
- Experience and skills required
- More about the company and culture
- Any benefits
Please be aware that we do not accept advertising for unpaid internships and all advertising should comply with the government standards as noted here.
If you are interested in advertising with us via the newsletter then please fill out the contact form below.
- Why do we charge for this? Two reasons: one is to ensure that employers are serious about what they advertise. Sadly, we often get people seemingly looking to spam our community for the sake of 'contacting' women rather than a meaningful attempt to hire. The second reason is that DevelopHer uses these funds to cover basic costs so we can still offer opportunities and events to our community at a low price.
- What happened to the start up / small business discount? To be fair and keep it simple, we now are using a single fee – albeit closer to the reduced fee we previously offered rather than the 'corporate fee'.
- How many people will see it? We have over 4000 people on our mailing list. This is c.90% female and all have a strong interest in technology or are working within it. This list has been organically grown over many years and averages a c.50% open rate.
- How many people will apply? We hope that many of our community will apply but cannot guarantee as it does depend on what role you are offering!

I flunked jump rope in 7th grade and washed out of college PE. Exotic travel was the stuff of dreams for a klutzy bookworm like me–until I married Jack and embraced the world of adventure travel, taking tea with erstwhile headhunters in Borneo, bunking with a stone age tribe in Papua New Guinea and climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro.
But at forty-eight years old, I was zapped by a stroke caused by an obscure and unpronounceable autoimmune disease that turns my blood to sludge. (It's called antiphospholipid syndrome–APS.) In an instant, I could no longer remember my address or how to dial 911. I couldn't hold a fork, write my name, or tie my shoes.
My long road to healing–and return to adventure travel–is chronicled in my almost-completed memoir, Scrambling Back: One Woman's Quest to Return to the Wild After Stroke and Autoimmune Disease.
My stories about adventure travel, stroke, and autoimmune disease have appeared in local and national publications including Good Housekeeping and Stroke Connection magazines, the American Heart Association and Goddess Fund websites, and in a number of anthologies, most recently Wandering in Cornwall (2015).
Even with a damaged brain and the constraints imposed by the blood thinning life, I never considered giving up travel and I still venture to remote regions from Burma to Vietnam, India and Uzbekistan. On my website JunglePants.com, I write about my ups and downs as an adventure traveler with health concerns and, on this site, AnneSigmon.com, I blog about life with memory loss, blood thinners and autoimmune disease.
Before my stroke, I enjoyed a twenty-five-year career in public relations and marketing. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area with Jack Martin, my husband and No. 1 travel companion.
A note on health information presented on this site: Quite obviously, I'm not a doctor. On this site, I blog about my own experience as a stroke and autoimmune patient. And, I present news and resources from trusted sources in the hope that this information will be of help to readers. But every patient is unique, and every case is different. Always check with your own health professionals before adopting any new treatment strategies.
A note about the photos on Anne Sigmon.com: Jack and I both love to snap away when we travel. I've had fun digging into our travel archives to find pictures to brighten these pages. They don't have anything to do with stroke or APS or autoimmune disease, but I hope they lend cheer and visual interest to the site. They also remind me that I may have APS, but it doesn't have me.

Jingle Bells for United Way
Every Thanksgiving Day the bells start ringing for United Way in St. Francois County! Since 1988, bells have rung out at wishing wells in the Parkland area to benefit agencies in St. Francois County that directly help our neighbors.
United Way counts on the generosity of people in our area to not only give a donation to the wells, but to give their time to ring those bells. Businesses, civic groups, churches, families, and individuals can volunteer.
To sign up, contact Clay Whitener, executive director of the United Way of St. Francois County by writing to firstname.lastname@example.com or call at 573-760-8929.
All of the money raised at the wishing wells goes toward funding local agencies and charities through grants given out by United Way, and in 2015 for example, United Way gave out $180,000 to local agencies and organizations. Whether it's a donation at the wishing well, or through a payroll deduction or helping out with ringing the bells, all of it goes to making St. Francois County a better place!
A list of wishing well locations for 2017 will be available at a later date.

While elementary and secondary school enrollments decline nationally, classrooms are bursting at the seams in many US Southwest border communities. Mexican immigration, both legal and illegal, is boosting enrollments faster than school administrators are able to raise funds for new construction.
Added to the problem at this time of year is the migrant farm-worker population that drifts south for the winter months, further crowding public schools along the border.
"We don't have enough space, or enough teachers. We can't afford to keep growing like this without some help," says Tony Garcia, superintendent of the Rio Grande City, Texas, independent school district.
Public schools along the Mexican border are directly affected by US immigration policy, and educators in that region increasingly are looking to Washington for assistance.
To date, however, they have had little success. Congress recently voted down legislation that would have provided federal grants to schools along the US-Mexico border with sizable numbers of Mexican immigrant students.
Still, the flow of Mexicans into the United States continues at a level far above the legal quota, due in large part to an ineffective border patrol.
"Schools along the border carry a load, and it's a problem created by our national immigration policy," says an aide to Sen. Lloyd Bentsen (D) of Texas, sponsor of the bill to help border schools.
The Select Commission on Immigration and Refugee Policy will conclude a two-year study with policy recommendations to Congress and the President next March, but a spokesman says no suggestions will be made as to how the federal government might help particular regions cope with rising immigrant population. "That would involve just about every community in the country in some way, and we just couldn't cope with that," she said.
Texas public schools are under added pressure this year because of a federal court ruling that has forced them to open their doors to the children of illegal aliens. While for the state as a whole the number of illegal alien children enrolling in public schools has been far less than expected -- about one- 10th the number some had projected -- impact has been significant along the border.
In Brownsville, about 700 "undocumented" children have enrolled this year, making an already crowded school system worse. "We build portable classrooms at about the rate of one every 14 or 15 days," says local school superintendent Raul Besteiro. "We don't want to grow at this rate because it is diminishing the quality of education for everyone," he say.
Typically, expanding enrollment would be good news for a school district. It would increase federal and state funds based on average daily attendance, and would be indicative of a healthy local economy.
While border school districts are compensated by the state and federal governments for rising attendance, enrollments are expanding faster than the local tax base in many communities.
"If this was growth in the typical way, you would see new businesses and housing subdivisions. Then, a local tax base could support the growth," explains Rodney Cathey, superintendent of schools in McAllen. While Mexican immigrants certainly add to the tax base, most are poor by US standards and tend to expand the labor force faster than the community's economic wealth, Mr. Cathey says.
For needed new construction, most of these border school districts must seek voter-approved bond issues. But the prospects for new bond measures now are dim. High interest rates have made bond issues too expensive for many communities, and some educators say the perception that the bonds are only for the benefit of illegal aliens is creating taxpayer resistance.
The problem is compounded because border school districts are, on average, relatively poor to begin with. "The school districts are in economically depressed areas. The classrooms are crowded. More rooms are needed, but the money is not there," noted a 1979 study by the Organization of US Border Cities and Counties.

Never forget three types of people in your life:It may sound cliche, but my dad has always been there for me in the way that only a dad can: through my multiple awkward phases, through major changes in my personal and professional life, and when I just needed someone to talk to. While he's always helped me through my difficult times, he's always equally as present during the good times, too. He always gets so excited and supportive about my personal projects. I can't express how helpful and motivating that can be.

With nearly 2090 million native speakers, Bengali (or Bangla) is the fourth most widely spoken language in the world; it is also the national language of Bangladesh and that of 14 Indian provinces. The people, language and culture were once united in a single territory, Bengal, a region in Northeast South Asia. Attracted by Bengal's trade and wealth, Buddhists, Hindus, Afghans, Turks and Moghuls fought for and took turns ruling the region for over two millennia, and the British swept up Bengal into the colony known as India. After Independence, Bengal split into what are now West Bengal, in India, and the separate independent nation of Bangladesh. Rooted in Sanskrit and Pali, Bengali literature is considered to he among the richest in South Asia, and features such luminaries as Nobel-prize winning novelist, Rabindranath Tagore.

This blend of these great vineyards gives us a beautiful perfumed nose of black cherries, red cherries with just the right amount of oak and cinnamon spice. It has a wonderful mouth-feel of velvety soft tannins and balanced acidity, with a long fruity finish that lingers long after the last sip has gone.
This is a blend of three vineyards from the cool Sonoma coast AVA: Gunsalus, (25%) Tina Marie, (30%) Armagh, (35%) and one from the Santa Cruz Mountains AVA, Muns (10%). For those Pinot purists, look for the classic Pinot Noir mineral character that the Santa Cruz Mountains brings to the blend. Although this wine drinks beautifully now, it will age and improve for many years to come. Pairs well with the Squash Gratin.

Facebook Files First Patent Lawsuit; Countersuing Alt Weekly Newspaper Company Who Sued First
from the watch-who-you-sue dept
As the article notes, Facebook has been sued about 15 times for patent infringement, and has (so far) refused to settle any cases. In most cases, the lawsuits are by patent holding companies, so there's nothing to sue them back over. However, since this is an actual operating company, Facebook has launched its countersuit, suing for patent infringement over two patents that it acquired from other companies recently. It's nice to see Facebook pushing back against those who sue it over silly patents. It will be worth watching to see if it continues to be aggressive against such bogus threats.

How Does Taking Away A Popular Feature 'Improve Netflix'?
from the please-explain dept
Why? While it may be disappointing to see this feature go away, this change will help us to continue to improve the Netflix website for all our customers.Can someone explain how eliminating a feature that many people use improves the Netflix website? You see, Netflix, if you're going to remove a feature and say that the website is better because of it, it would actually help if you explained how or why it's better (i.e., you're replacing that feature with something better). To simply say that removing a well-liked feature makes the website better without any further explanation, you're basically calling your customers stupid because you think they'll believe what's clearly bogus.

Satisfying America's sweet tooth has gotten more complex. Americans are consuming more sweeteners - and different kinds of them. Some industries - like producers of corn and low-calorie sweeteners - have benefited from the change.
But the standard sweetener industry - sugar - has been losing. In 1975, for example, the average United States consumer ate 124.2 pounds of sweeteners, 72 percent of which was sugar. Last year, the average American ate 132.9 pounds, but sugar's share was only slightly more than half the total.
Nor is the future for sugar particularly bright. If current trends continue, prospects for US sugar will be stagnant at best, according to a new report on the sweetener industry. And more trouble may lie ahead, economists warned sugar growers and processors at a conference here last week.
''If current sugar price policies are continued, sugar production will trend downward, interrupted only when world prices are high,'' says Dr. William C. Motes, director of the new study, which was commissioned by domestic sugar growers and processors. According to that study, sugar could account for only 42 percent of the sweetener market by 1992.
The industry's woes stem from what amounts to a revolution in how Americans sweeten their food.
The soft-drink industry has been the driving force behind the change. Corn sweeteners have replaced sugar as the dominant sweetener in soft drinks, mainly because they are cheaper. Meanwhile, a boom in diet soft drinks has created a rising market for low-calorie sugar substitutes.
The immediate question hanging over domestic sugar growers and processors is whether sugar will be included in the 1985 farm bill. Sugar programs are a continual source of controversy.
Like most countries around the world, the US protects its domestic producers with import quotas and duties. The result is that US consumers and industrial users pay much more for sugar than the world price. On Monday, domestic No. 12 sugar sold at 21.71 cents per pound; the same product on the international market (No. 11) was 4.10 cents per pound.
This disparity is especially great now because of a drastic slump in international prices and the high value of the dollar, says James Fry, managing director of a London commodity studies company. Sugar refiners and users, eager to buy at the world price, argue that they and the average consumer should not have to pay the higher domestic price.
Producers and processors disagree. According to Dr. Motes, more than three-fourths of the sweeteners consumed in the United States are found in beverages and other foods, rather than as table-top sugar. And changes in wholesale sugar prices had ''almost no discernible'' effect on the retail prices of these foods in the short-term, the Motes study says.
Any such changes in retail prices of foods containing sweeteners would be long term, adds Robert D. Barry, project leader for sweetners at the Economic Research Service of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). Retail prices would go down only in the short term if wholesale-price drops were fairly sharp and consistent, he says.
Furthermore, subsidized exports and the political complexities of the world market have depressed prices so much that the domestic industry could not survive without price protections, even though US sugar producers are more efficient than those of other nations, these economists say.
But some parts of the US industry are faring worse than others, Dr. Barry adds. Some beet processors are in trouble while returns to sugar growers appear relatively healthy. He cites a new USDA study that found that growers' cash flow in 1983 averaged $218 per planted acre of sugarbeets and $191 per planted acre of sugarcane. The average in '83 for corn was $16, for wheat, $23, and for soybeans, $70.
To make their case for price supports, domestic growers and processors have gained a valuable ally in corn growers and corn sweetener manufacturers. The joint sweetener symposium held here was evidence that these two competitors have found that joining forces is to their advantage.
''It became increasingly apparent that 'united we stand, divided we fall,' '' says Raymond Stanhope, a vice-president at the A. E. Staley Manufacturing Company, a large producer of corn sweeteners based in Decatur, Ill.
Even with its price advantage over domestic sugar, the major corn sweetener could not compete with current world prices, he says.
Prospects that world prices will rise anytime soon were dimmed in June when efforts to negotiate a new international sugar agreement collapsed. The current agreement runs out this year.

Nenagh author Sean Hogan's new book on Black and Tans in Tipperary
A new book on the Black and Tans in North Tipperary has been heralded as a "significant history of North Tipperary". The book, The Black and Tans in North Tipperary, by Sean Hogan, was a timely work in celebrating the centenary of a decade that shaped Ireland, Mayor Ger Darcy said at the launch in Nenagh Civic Offices.
"Every family has its story of fear and trouble during the Black and Tan War," he said. "This book gives good analysis and perspective on the events and is a major contribution to our history and understanding of our heritage."
The book looks at the period 1913 to 1922 and examines how County Tipperary went from being one of the least crime hit police districts to being one of the bloodiest and most terrifying.
It recounts events surrounding the ambushes and engagements, the struggle for political power at council level and within the IRA itself, as well as giving detailed background on those in the RIC and Crown Forces who were killed. It also examines the many killings and intimidation of civilians that were carried out by both the IRA and the Black and Tans.
Author Sean Hogan gathered much of his information through interviews with 35 of those who were involved in the War of Independence, as well as utilisating police records in England and the Irish Bureau of Military History and local newspapers. One of those interviews was with Dean Cahill of Borrisokane, who was portrayed by Martin Sheen in the recent film Stella Days.
Mr Hogan said he was of a generation that could recall the 50th anniversary of the Easter Rising in 1966, and had read the standard works by Dan Breen and Ernie O'Malley.
"I had, what I imagine, was a fairly standard hero / villain view of this period of our history. And the villains were, of course, the Black and Tans," he said.
However, the author said there were some "fairly shocking and dark deeds" in the book. "This is not heroes and villains."
Mr Hogan said some will find aspects of the stories about their ancestors to be very difficult, but one of the things we had learned in recent years was that no side in a conflict had a monopoly on the damage inflicted or the suffering caused.
He hoped the book would do justice to the generation involved, pointing out that many of the people involved were very young.
John Flannery, president of Ormond Historical Society, also stated that many will not like what they found in the book, but believed it presented a challenge to "confront our demons". He said Mr Hogan had shed new light on the topic.

A reference to a series of Saturday Night Live (SNL) skits by comedian Chris Farley in which he plays an overweight, out of work, motivational speaker who lives in a van down by the river. He is routinely hired by concerned parents to speak to their children about the dangers of gangs or drugs. In response, he overstays his welcome, trashes the house with his physical, slapstick humor and scares the kids by using his life as an example of what not to do.
"If you do drugs, you'll end up like me... living in a VAN, DOWN BY THE RIVER!"

Fairy Tail chapter 334 : Sin and Sacrifice [read here]
So what exactly was Ultear doing walking through the battlefield? Is it just plot convenience since Jellal needed his ass saved before the two girls were going to tear him apart? I was pretty sure she was staring at Rogue thinking about to kill him! Even after walking away from Jellal's situation, she was still thinking about it. Well now we understand she's all torn apart by her thoughts and is now a non-player in this battle. How many chapters will it take for her to get better? Hopefully it will only take a couple chapters.
Sting is such a troll. A heartwarming, funloving troll. :) Great Sting and Rogue bromance this chapter.
So let's get to the important part. So it starts out with,
And ends up,
No words.
I was angry before, but now it's just no words.
I don't know why
or how
Why… He didn't even get to struggle for his life.
Fairy Tail series' first death? Nobody usually dies in the story. Especially not the members of the guild itself. Pretty sure the Guild Master has been almost dead 3 times already. *sigh* He didn't even get to struggle. Only 3 pages.
I'm done now.

The ongoing global outage of Sony's PlayStation Network, now at 5 days, may be in danger of continuing even further – in its latest update Sony refused to provide any information on what is going on or when it will be fixed.
Despite predicting "it may be a full day or two before we're able to get the service completely back up and running" on the 21st, since then Sony has stopped providing a timeframe and in its latest missive only offers a lame acknowledgement of the disaster:
I know you are waiting for additional information on when PlayStation Network and Qriocity services will be online. Unfortunately, I don't have an update or timeframe to share at this point in time.
As we previously noted, this is a time intensive process and we're working to get them back online quickly. We'll keep you updated with information as it becomes available. We once again thank you for your patience.
Rumours now suggest Sony may be nearing a point where it can restore service, although there is next to no official information from Sony itself about any progress.
In fact, all Sony has revealed is that an "external intrusion" prompted them to turn off the entire PSN service, rather suggesting they may be downplaying the severity of the trouble.
Microsoft for its part has graciously called the outage "regretful" whilst crowing that it expects to see "an increase of traffic."

An Answer to a Sermon by Vance Stinson
of the
"Sunday Or Sivan 6"?
International gave a sermon entitled "Sunday Or Sivan 6,"
in which he attempted to refute the Sivan 6 date for this
holy day of
God. In this article, Nick Wood in
answers Stinson's arguments and draws attention to the
REAL issues, as opposed to "smokescreen" arguments!
Nick Wood
The incredible revelation in the sermon of Vance Stinson entitled "Sunday Or Sivan 6" is the almost complete acknowledgement that the vast majority of the Jews at the time of Christ, were keeping Pentecost on Sivan 6 according to the Pharisees reckoning. This is at least a step in the direction of TRUTH. The whole issue then hinges on the question -- "Where the Pharisees correct in their reckoning?"
Vance makes much in his sermon of the following point: -- "If all there was to go on in determining Pentecost was Leviticus 23, then we would all be forced to conclude that Pentecost was on a Sunday."
Very well, let us try and be fair and reasonable as well as open-minded and acknowledge that this may be so with one important qualification. If all there was to go on in determining Pentecost was Leviticus 23 in the KING JAMES version, then yes, I can see how Sunday is arrived at, and of course I myself accepted this teaching without question for many years, I freely admit.
To make the statement, as Vance does, that the Hebrew word "SHABBAT" can only ever be translated "Sabbath" and never "Week," is entirely a matter of opinion which many eminent Hebrew scholars have argued for generations. The fact is of course that besides the King James version we have many other translations of the Bible into English. Some of these in Leviticus 23:15-16 translate "SHABBAT" as "Sabbaths" (ie., New King James), while others translate "SHABBAT" as "Weeks" (ie., NIV, RSV, GNB as well as the Jewish Tanakh). To simply say that all these modern translations are wrong and leave it at that WITHOUT CONCLUSIVE PROOF is just not good enough. Of
course Vance is perfectly entitled to HIS OWN OPINION just like anyone else, but with all due respect to him, I for just not prepared to take another man's opinion on such an important issue.
What does all this haggling and disputing over the Hebrew word "SHABBAT" really prove anyway? Absolutely nothing, except that there is a continuing dispute and always has been over the exact meaning of this Hebrew word. Let us all calm down and step back a moment and remember Paul's warning in II Timothy (New International Version): --
"Warn them before God against quarrelling about WORDS;
it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen."
Sound advice, so let us all pay heed to it and get away from this useless dispute. Besides, why do we just have to concentrate on Leviticus 23? The first rule of Bible study is to get together ALL the Scriptures bearing on a particular subject.
". . . Here a little, there a little" (Isaiah 28:10, NKJV). By applying this rule fairly and consistently we can come to a definite conclusion and a full understanding of the TRUE day of Pentecost.
Opponents of a Sivan 6 Pentecost find the inspired words of Scripture in Matthew 23:3 difficult to handle. They seek, as Vance does, to place their own human interpretation upon it, simply because it is so powerful and decisive a Scripture regarding this whole issue. They level the charge at Sivan 6 observers, of "following the Pharisees," seemingly oblivious of the fact that it was Our Lord And Saviour JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF who uttered these words: --
"The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. ALL therefore
whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do
not ye after their works, for they say and do not" (Matt.23:3).
Instead of trying to bend and distort this verse and PRETEND that it doesn't really mean what it plainly says, let us all be honest with the Word of God and accept and believe it, even if we sometimes don't like to admit that maybe, JUST MAYBE, our preconceived ideas may be wrong. A very plain and simple expounding of this verse can be found in the Jamieson, Fausett and Brown Commentary: --
"THE SCRIBES AND THE PARISEES SIT" -- The Jewish
teachers stood to read, but sat to expound the Scriptures, as will
be seen by comparing Luke 4:16 with v.20.
"IN MOSES' SEAT" -- ie. as interpreters of the law given by Moses.
"ALL THEREFORE" -- ie. all which, as sitting in that seat and teaching
out of that law.
"THEY BID YOU OBSERVE, THAT OBSERVE AND DO" -- The
word 'therefore' is thus, it will be seen, of great importance, as limiting
those injunctions which He would have them obey to what they fetched
FROM THE LAW ITSELF (emphasis mine) . . . . but He who denounced
the TRADITIONS (emphasis mine) of such teachers cannot have meant
here to throw His shield over these."
In other words, as long as the Pharisees were teaching and expounding from the LAW OF MOSES, which included the Holy Days (ie. PENTECOST), the people were to "OBSERVE AND DO" what the Pharisees taught.
Of course anything above and beyond the LAW OF MOSES, was a teaching or tradition of men and OBVIOUSLY not covered by this COMMAND of JESUS CHRIST. Notice very carefully to whom this DIRECT COMMAND was given in Matthew 23:1 --
TO HIS DISCIPLES" (New King James Version).
Vance winds up his sermon with an ingenious interpretation of Acts 2:1 -- "When the day of Pentecost had FULLY COME . . ." He postulates that as there were TWO Pentecosts, one Sadducean and the other Pharisaic, then the phrase FULLY COME must mean -- "When the day of the True Pentecost had come a few days AFTER the False Pentecost." In the crucifixion year of 31 A.D. he correctly states that the Sadducean Pentecost would be on a Sunday (as it always was), and the Pharisaic Pentecost would come 2 days earlier on the Friday. Vance then takes a quantum leap and suggests that Pentecost had only FULLY COME on the Sunday. There is however a much better and clearer definition of that phrase's TRUE meaning, without resorting to
Strong's Exhaustive Concordance gives the Greek word -- SUMPLEROO rendered "FULLY COME" in the King James version as meaning: --
"To Implenish Completely,"
"To Accomplish,"
"To Be Complete."
A marginal note in the New American Standard version gives the literal meaning of the phrase as -- "Was Being Fulfilled."
This is surely the TRUE meaning of Acts 2:1 -- "When the day of Pentecost had FULLY COME (or HAD COME TO BE FULFILLED)."
Vance concludes by saying that he needs much more proof before he is willing to 'repent and change.' I am puzzled by this statement because the 37 page article which he continually referred to, [must have] contained just what he was asking for, MUCH MORE PROOF, most of which he never addressed or even referred to in his sermon. [Aside from that article, whatever it was, I would be happy to send Vance, or anyone else who is interested, my own articles on this subject. They are: "Pentecost -- The Final Answer!", "How Should We Count Pentecost?", "Pentecost -- The Untold Story," "Pentecost -- the Plain Truth!", "The Incredible Truth about Pentecost," and "Pentecost -- The Bottom Line!" -- Editor.] To be absolutely fair to Vance though, he was constrained in his sermon by the time factor. The Scriptures which were never addressed or referred to, actually provide the clinching proof of a Sivan 6 Pentecost.
Paul addressing the Sanhedrin: --
"Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees,
and the other Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, 'My
brothers, I AM A PHARISEE, the son of a Pharisee' "
(Acts 23:6, NIV).
Notice the use of the PRESENT tense "I AM A PHARISEE." Paul DID NOT say I WAS A PHARISEE, because although a Christian, he still considered himself to be a TRUE Pharisee.
Just prior to this, Paul had been proclaiming to the mob in Jerusalem which was baying for his blood: --
"I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this
city, UNDER GAMALIEL I was THOROUGHLY TRAINED
in the LAW of our fathers . . ." (Acts 22:3, NIV).
Gamaliel was a PHARISEE, a teacher of the LAW held in respect by all the people -- Acts 5:34. Most commentators believe that he was a grandson of the great Rabbi Hillel, who gave his name to one of the two main "Houses" of Phariseeism, the House of Hillel; the other being the House of Shammai. Eventually Gamaliel himself became the "Elder" of the House of Hillel. Although there were certain differences between these two "Houses" -- the House of Hillel being, in most cases, more moderate and compassionate than the House of Shammai -- they were totally united on the issue of counting Pentecost from the day on which the "Wave Sheaf" was offered, the day after THE ANNUAL SABBATH. Although like anyone else I stand open to correction, I challenge the opponents of a Sivan 6 Pentecost to produce any SOLID evidence to the contrary. While searching for it my hope and prayer would be that they themselves would become convicted by the PLAIN, SIMPLE, PROVABLE TRUTH.
Paul before King Agrippa: --
"THE JEWS ALL KNOW THE WAY I HAVE LIVED ever
since I was a child, from the beginning of my life in my own
country, and also in Jerusalem. They (ie. ALL THE JEWS) have
known me for a long time and can testify, if they are willing, that
according to the strictest sect of our religion, I LIVED AS A
PHARISEE" (Acts 26:4-5, NIV).
This is all so very plain and clear that Paul was extremely well known to ALL THE JEWS, and that he had lived as a STRICT PHARISEE ALL HIS LIFE, one very distinct hallmark of this being a SIVAN 6 PENTECOST. Vance was honest enough to acknowledge that the vast majority of Jews at the time of Christ, were keeping Pentecost on Sivan 6 according to the Pharisees' reckoning. The Scriptures leave us in no doubt that the Apostle Paul had lived as a STRICT PHARISEE all his life, and apart from those who do not wish to see, everyone must acknowledge that Paul also kept Pentecost on Sivan 6, at least up until the time of his conversion.
Paul's Letter to the Philippians: --
"If anyone else thinks he has reasons to put confidence in the flesh,
I have more: circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel,
of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; IN REGARD
TO THE LAW A PHARISEE ; as for zeal, persecuting the church;
(Philippians 3:4-5, NIV).
This is so important here is the same Scripture in the NEW KING JAMES VERSION.
"If anyone else thinks he may have confidence in the flesh, I more so:
circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Ben-
jamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; CONCERNING THE LAW, A
PHARISEE ; concerning zeal, persecuting the church; CONCERNING
Dare anyone refute the inspired words of the Apostle Paul in which he claimed to have observed THE LAW WITHOUT FAULT? If the Sadducees were correct in reckoning Pentecost and the Pharisees WERE IN ERROR, then this Scripture could never have been inspired.
I call upon my brothers and sisters in the Church of God International [and Worldwide Church of God, and other splinter groups! -- Editor] to NOW SERIOUSLY ADDRESS THIS QUESTION, PLEASE.
I would like to end on a conciliatory note and reveal that I have just recently read an article by Vance Stinson, refuting the abominable doctrine taught by some, that the Jews are actually the offspring of Satan. Vance does an excellent job of demolishing this "Doctrine of Demons" and I thank him for it. But stop one moment and consider. Why is it that of all peoples on the earth the Jews have been singled out time and time again for the most horrific persecution and suffering that demoniacally influenced minds can devise? Simply because they and they alone have preserved the LAW OF GOD, including the Holy Days and the sacred calendar, to this very day. Satan hates them terribly for this. The Jews today keep Pentecost on Sivan 6.
"What advantage then has the Jew, or what is the profit
of circumcision? Much in every way! Chiefly because
GOD" (Romans 3:1-2, NKJV).

Globe International is considered as the biggest producer and distributer of skateboards, longboards and cruisers in Australia. As a child of the 80s, Globe significantly contributed to the skate boom in Down Under and in a short time it has grown to a world-wide operating company. From streetwear through to shoes and sneakers to hardware - Globe unites all areas that can be connected to board sport.
What's your move if you are not satisfied with the quality and supply of your local skate dealer? Exactly! You establish your own empire. That's what happened with the Aussie brothers Peter and Stephen Hill, who entered the skateboarding business with Hardcore Enterprise in 1984. As pro skaters, the brothers knew that you'll find the best decks, wheels and trucks in the USA. With the foundation of Die Hard Pty Ltd in 1987, streetwear, accessories and shoes were also brought under Hardcore's roof to extend the range in addition to hardware. Finally, the American underground label Visions Streetwear became the first licensed brand of the newly established company.
After ten years of just distributing, Peter and Stephen founded their very own brand Globe with future CEO Matt Hill. Shortly afterwards, the first shoes for skateboarders left the conveyor belt equipped with the famous Globe logo. Thanks to today's wide range of the label's accessories, streetwear, jackets, pants and hoodies, you can clothe yourself easily from head to toe with the Aussie skate brand.
In their own skateboard workshop, the DSM Premium Woodshop, Globe collaborates with skateboarding legend and Dwindle Distribution co-founder Rodney Mullen to develop new designs for skateboards, longboards and cruisers. There, all steps of the production are checked neatly and hence, every board finds its way to the customer as a hand-made gem.
In addition to their category of skateboards, Globe has focused on complete longboards and cruisers as the Globe Bantam or the Globe Tracer Classic Cruiser. Among the most popular longboards from Globe, the Globe Prowler Complete-Longboard and the Globe Pinner model can be rated as the absolute favs.
The magic number 3 also plays an important role when it comes to teams. That's because Globe does not only has a skate team with greats as Chris Haslam, Mark Appleyard, David Gonzales and Rodney Mullen, the company is also internationally represented with a surf and a snow team.
Can't you have enough of the Australian original? Then browse in Globe International's whole assortment. Eventually, you will find some of your favourite labels, too. With brands as Almost, Blind, Clichè and Enjoi, the dudes from the Gold Coast cater for all tastes!

I do not see any conclusive evidence that exonerated the officers in this shooting nor do I see evidence that could call this a bad shooting, the helmet cams of the lead officers should have been on and if they were why was this video not released? The shooting is questionable. This video is not useful to anyone!

Ok, I'm meant to be on a plane in two hours headed for Rome, where they are holding the MTV Awards this year. But guess what, I realised that we couldn't lose three days of tracking and I pulled out last minute. It really isn't very rock this year so what the hell would be the point of me going all that way??
Besides I've exceeded my quota on going out right now. The guy who designed the lights for the Devotional show by Depeche Mode (get it for xmas) and also some Bjork stuff had done the Keane show, so I HAD to check it out. It was a good show. Tim from their band came up to me at the aftershow and said that he had come to see my first ever acoustic show in 1998. He came down with Chris and Johnny from Coldplay, I think. It seems that everyone went to UCL. He seems like a really nice guy. Just remember.....Coldplay and Keane beat you to MV. How strange.
We also saw the Placebo show at Wembley, which was great. The Robert Smith appearance was fucking awesome.

Often times, Danny and I have been able to speak with dear families who have a son or daughter or a sibling who is going through a divorce. We know how painful and sad this time can be.
My #1 advice to family members:
Do not spew toxicity.
I share this with you not from something I read or made up, but because I experienced it firsthand. My parents did not breed or spread any amount of toxicity associated with my divorce and it was one of the greatest gifts of my life. I don't know how they did it.
The ugliness of divorce can just about do a person in. It can be so full of anger, unfairness, disappointment, fear, betrayal, disgust, shame, deceit, blame, hatred. Certainly the person going through the divorce is usually the most vulnerable. It can be near impossible to not feel broken, weighed down, even paralyzed by something toxic during that time. At times I literally could barely breathe.
And yet, my parents took it upon themselves to not dwell in or add to the toxicity themselves. My phone calls with them were never about my former husband or my unfortunate situation. Their words were always uplifting and they were always about me…
"We believe in you. You are wonderful. You will be better than ever because of this experience."
"You have so much to offer. We're so happy to be your parents. We think you're doing just awesome."
"We're so proud of you and all that you are."
"We know that you have a good and beautiful life ahead."
"See this experience as an investment in your PEACE."
I cannot even tell you how THANKFUL I was that my parents took that path. It was the greatest thing they could have done for me in my lowest moments. They so easily could have expressed hatred, disappointment, fear, anger, etc….but they did not.
Instead, they put their joint efforts into instilling confidence in ME and building me up over and over and over again.
To this day, I am so grateful and amazed that they did that for me.
Sending love to anyone out there who is facing something difficult in their family right now.
Have you experienced a divorce in your family? What worked and what didn't as you all were healing?

United, City primed for season's first derby
- Image 1 of 3

LONDON (AFP) – The Manchester derby takes top billing in the Premier League this weekend, as England's leading teams return to domestic action after a week of mixed fortunes in European competition.
Manchester United and Manchester City face off at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, in what will be a first taste of the fixture for both United manager David Moyes and his City counterpart Manuel Pellegrini.
Both sides have made spluttering starts to the season, having each amassed seven points from their first four league games, but they both enjoyed convincing wins in mid-week.
United opened their Champions League campaign with an entertaining 4-2 win at home to Bayer Leverkusen, while City enjoyed a 3-0 victory away to Czech champions Viktoria Pilsen.
United striker Wayne Rooney confirmed his return to form with a brace against Leverkusen and he will now hope to repeat his performance from last season's equivalent fixture against City, when he scored twice in a 3-2 victory.
"It's a massive game," Rooney said. "Two title contenders. It's not going to define the season, but it's a big game, a derby. We'll be going there to win. I've scored a few goals against City."
Last season, an injury-time free-kick from Robin van Persie sent United six points clear of their city rivals and it was a setback that the defending champions were unable to overcome.
With this season's encounter taking place earlier in the campaign, it is unlikely to prove quite as decisive, but City captain Vincent Kompany is still relishing the occasion.
"It is becoming one of the most sought-after fixtures in the world and it is always great to be involved in such games," said the Belgian, who returned from a groin injury in Pilsen. "I never take them for granted."
Whereas the two Manchester clubs slipped seamlessly into gear in Europe, Chelsea were dealt a chastening home defeat by Swiss champions FC Basel.
Wake team up with smile
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has always set great store by making his teams invulnerable at home and he has called for an immediate response in Saturday's derby at home to west London neighbours Fulham.
"This is the only way I know in football: to work hard, believe in what you do and each other, be critical inside our group to resolve things, but stick together and try against Fulham to get the result that wakes up the team with a smile," said the Portuguese, whose side lost 1-0 at Everton in their last league outing.
Liverpool conceded their 100 percent record in Monday's 2-2 draw at Swansea City, but they remain top of the table by a point and will look to strengthen their position at home to Southampton on Saturday.
Manager Brendan Rodgers will be without Brazilian playmaker Philippe Coutinho due to a shoulder injury, but in Daniel Sturridge he has a striker looking to score for the sixth game in succession.
Southampton drew 0-0 at home to West Ham United last weekend and are bidding for a first victory since their 1-0 success at West Bromwich Albion on the opening day of the season.
Another manager buoyed by mid-week European success was Arsenal's Arsene Wenger, whose side won 2-1 at Marseille in the Champions League to record a 10th consecutive away success in all competitions.
Wenger is expected to hand a home debut to record signing Mesut Ozil against Stoke City on Saturday, when Arsenal will be chasing a sixth straight victory.
Tottenham Hotspur, who opened their Europa League campaign against Norwegian side Tromso on Thursday, visit promoted Cardiff City on Sunday.
Beaten 1-0 by Arsenal prior to the international break, Spurs won 2-0 at home to Norwich City last weekend and Gylfi Sigurdsson, who scored both goals in that game, says the club's seven new signings are starting to bed in.
"The first game when everyone was in was a bit quiet, but we're back to normal now," said the Icelandic midfielder.
"Everyone knows each other and it's a good and positive dressing room. There are quite a few jokers."
Saturday (1400GMT unless otherwise stated):
Chelsea v Fulham (1630GMT), Liverpool v Southampton, Newcastle United v Hull City, Norwich City v Aston Villa (1145GMT), West Bromwich Albion v Sunderland, West Ham United v Everton
Sunday (1500GMT unless otherwise stated):
Arsenal v Stoke City (1230GMT), Cardiff City v Tottenham Hotspur, Crystal Palace v Swansea City (1230GMT), Manchester City v Manchester United

Charlotte—The most overused and least understood word at the Republican National Convention in Tampa was "reform."
Historically, a reformer was someone who demanded that action be taken to address the inequity, corruption and neglect of the common good that rendered a potentially commendable system dysfunctional.
True reformers—like Republican Teddy Roosevelt and Democrat Franklin Roosevelt—were believers in the American experiment. But they knew that it was an experiment; to function properly it needed to adjust at critical junctures, to improve and to repair so that a broken status quo did not become the norm.
At the Republican convention that nominated two sons of privilege to lead what has become the party of economic royalism, however, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan redefined "reform." They made it the term not for addressing dysfunction but for extending it.
At a time when the gap between rich and poor has become a chasm, Romney and Ryan propose to create a Bain-capitalist future of leveraged buyouts, shuttered factories and offshored assets. Their "reforms" make a mockery of the Jeffersonian vision of nation of small shopkeepers and small farmers; yes, Americans could still scrape livings out of small shops and small farms, they could "build it," but they could not shape the government policies that might actually allow them to play a role in discerning the future course of the republic.
The Republican platform, embraced in Tampa not just by wild-eyed social conservative foes of reproductive rights and marriage equality but by Romney and Ryan when they accepted their nominations, outlines a plan for the redistribution of economic power upward—with page after page of proposals for tax and trade policies that benefit the one-tenth of the 1 percent. But it also redistributes political power upward, declaring that the "right" of billionaires to buy election results is every bit as sacrosanct as the right to vote or to speak freely in the public square.
Opposing any limits on the political practices of the Koch Brothers and Sheldon Adelson, the platform pledges to "support repeal of the remaining sections of McCain-Feingold, support either raising or repealing contribution limits, and oppose passage of the Disclose Act or any similar legislation designed to vitiate the Supreme Court's recent decisions protecting political speech in Wisconsin Right to Life v. Federal Election Commission and Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission."
