If you're thinking about getting the Business Platinum® Card from American Express, you might want to do it soon. No, this card isn't going away. But, it's $450 annual fee (See Rates & Fees) increases in February when it begins offering new card benefits.
While we never like to see an annual fee increase, American Express Business Platinum credit card is offering more card benefits to offset the rate hike. If this card is on your shortlist, being proactive and applying now can save you $145.
The welcome offer includes the ability to earn 50,000 Membership Rewards® points after you spend $10,000. You can then earn an extra 25,000 points after you spend an additional $10,000 all on qualifying purchases within your first 3 months of Card Membership.
Editor's Note: Most of the changes are in place. This post has been updated to reflect the current offer.
Amex Business Platinum Annual Fee Increases to $595
Let's get the bad news out of the way first. The Business Platinum is following suit with the personal Platinum Card from American Express that raised its fee to $550 in 2017 when it underwent benefit enhancements.
Until February 2019, the Business Platinum annual fee remains $450. After this date, the annual fee increases to $595 for new applicants. Existing cardholders will pay the higher annual fee when their card renews on or after February 2019.
Applying for the Business Platinum now can save you $145. Plus, the benefit upgrades are less than two months away. You can essentially get the new benefits "for free" when you apply before the rate hike.
As always, you won't pay a foreign transaction fee on any international purchase.
Two New American Express Business Platinum Card Benefits
The $145 annual fee increase is quite a jump for some people. But, maybe these additional benefits can convince you to keep your Business Platinum. Two new benefits start February 2019.
As the upgrades rollout, American Express will release more benefit details. Also, Fine Hotels and Resort $75 on-site credit is now worth $100.
Platinum Global Access from WeWork
More business people find themselves traveling. Instead of trying to work from your hotel room or a local coffee shop, you might find the confines of WeWork more accommodating.
Shared workspaces are a growing trend. You can get one year of Platinum Global Access from WeWork which includes access to 300+ premium, inspiring workspaces in 75+ cities. These workspaces come with wifi, pantry, and onsite staff. However, you must enroll between 2/15/2019 and 12/31/2019 to use this benefit. American Express values this at $2,700 per year.
$200 Statement Credit with Dell
If you enjoy using Dell laptops and equipment, you will now get a $200 statement credit. To redeem the credit, you must purchase directly from Dell. This new benefit is called "Shop Dell with Business Platinum."
You must enroll to get up to $200 in statement credits annually by getting up to $100 semi-annually for U.S. purchases with Dell. This means you can get up to $100 in statement credits between January and June and up to $100 in statement credits between July and December for U.S. purchases with Dell on your enrolled Business Platinum Card (equal to up to $200 in statement credits annually). Terms do apply so be sure to check the fine print.
Shop with Dell can be similar to one of the newest Amex Platinum benefits, a $100 Saks Fifth Avenue shopping credit. Amex divides this credit into two $50 statement credits to shop at Saks in the first and second half of the year.
Benefits That Aren't Going Away from the Business Platinum® Card from American Express
While some credit cards have reduced their card benefits in 2018, the remaining Business Platinum Card benefits remain intact. These are some of the benefits you will continue to enjoy.
5x Membership Rewards Points on Airfare and Hotels
You earn 5 Membership Rewards points per $1 spent on airfare and hotels booked through Amex Travel. This is one of the highest reward rates you'll earn from a flexible travel rewards credit card.
When you make large purchases of at least $5,000, you also earn 1.5 points per $1 spent instead of the base award rate of 1 point per $1.
Flexible Point Options
You can also transfer these points on a 1:1 basis to many of the largest airline loyalty programs. Some of these programs include Delta Airlines, Emirates, Avianca LifeMiles, and JetBlue.
You might also find a better deal redeeming your miles for award flights on Amex Travel. You get a 35% redemption bonus (up to 500,000 points annually) when you book first class and business class award flights. Since premium cabin flights usually have a better redemption value, point transfers should still be your first choice.
But, this is a good way to maximize your points when award flights aren't available or if you fly an airline that isn't a Membership Rewards transfer partner.
$200 Airline Fee Credit
Each year, American Express covers the first $200 in baggage fees and in-flight purchases for the airline of your choice.
Global Lounge Collection Access
Air travelers wanting to live the lifestyle of the rich and famous will also enjoy the free airport lounge access. As a Business Platinum® Card from American Express cardholder, you have access to several lounge networks including:
- The Centurion
- International American Express
- Priority Pass
- Delta SkyClub
New lounge locations will continue to open throughout 2019, so you will have more places to relax when waiting to catch your next flight.
Global Entry or TSA PreCheck Application Fee Reimbursement
Your application fee for Global Entry or TSA PreCheck is also reimbursed each time you apply for clearance. This is one benefit of the Business Platinum® Card from American Express that you'll appreciate if you travel often for business.
Accelerated Hotel Loyalty Status
You can also get automatic Starwood Gold Elite status and Hilton Honors Gold Status. Benefits include space-available room upgrades, point earning bonuses, and other on-site perks.
Alternatives to the American Express Business Platinum
Don't feel like you will get enough mileage from the upcoming benefits to justify the fee hike? What makes the Business Platinum® Card from American Express unique is that it's a premium business rewards card. Most business credit cards charge an annual fee of $100 or less but don't offer the same level of benefits.
For that reason alone, you might decide to go with the Business Platinum. Or, you can try one of these cards instead.
American Express Business Gold Card
The Business Gold Card lets you earn 4x Membership Rewards points on two categories of your choice. You also get a 25% airline redemption bonus and can still transfer your points.
New cardholders can also get up to 1 year free of G Suite Basic and ZipRecruiter.
Chase Ink Business Preferred
You might decide to switch credit card rewards programs altogether. The Chase Ink Business Preferred earns up to 3 points per $1 on travel and business purchases. It also has 1:1 transfer partners. Many partners overlap with Membership Rewards. You also have exclusive access to United Airlines and Southwest Airlines too.
Summary of the Business Platinum® Card from American Express Changes
Here's a quick summary. The American Express Business Platinum offers two new benefits: WeWork access and a $200 Dell shopping statement credit. But, the annual fee also increases from $450 to $595. If you apply for the Business Platinum before the annual fee increases, you pay $450 for the first year and $595 when it's time to renew your membership.

There are times when nothing but big hair will do. And there are times when nothing but flat hair seems possible. So Jo GB, woman&home's beauty director, trekked off to see Adam Reed, of Percy & Reed, who it's safe to say is a master when it comes to adding volume to hair. We don't like to drop names but he always manages to perk up Ellie Goulding's, Diane Kruger's, Anna Friel's and Mel C's, 'dos for those big occasions.
Here are his tips:
1. Shampoo better
Too much product build up weighs hair down, especially if it's fine and needs that root boost.
FIX IT: Always rinse hair thoroughly to get rid of any residual product build up when you wash. If in doubt, rinse twice as long as you ordinarily would.
TRY IT: A detox 'clarifying' shampoo once a month is great and can revive your colour too. Try Bumble and Bumble Sunday Shampoo, £20 designed to gently deep cleanse without stripping hair.
2. Finesse your blow-dy technique
Avoid leaving your hair to dry naturally as this tends to make hair at the roots lie flat rather than giving that vital lift and boost at the scalp.
FIX IT: Focus your blow-dry on the top layers first, from root to tip to get a better foundation to your style. Always lift hair away from the roots in the opposite direction to the way it grows, then dry.
TRY IT: If you struggle using a round brush and a hairdryer together, try Babyliss Big Hair, £39.99, a spinning round brush with the dryer build in that makes drying easier.
3. Make friends with mousse
Volumising styling products vary from sprays to mousse, and set best when heat is applied. But mousse is an overlooked gem!
FIX IT: Mousse is lightweight, reduces frizz and sets without being sticky or crunchy.
TRY IT: For volume with shine, try mixing Percy & Reed Abundantly Bouncy Volumising Mousse, £12 with a little Volumising No Oil Oil, £14 in the palm of your hand, then apply to the crown and blow-dry from the roots to the ends.
4. Spray, pray, set
If you don't set your work there's no point doing it, everything will drop the moment you walk out the door.
FIX IT: Finish your blow-dry with a cold blast of air. Spray hairspray into where the hair is been blown by the hairdryer to seal the product in place.
TRY IT: Add with some volumising spray right into the roots for added oomph!
5. Take care of your scalp
This is really important as a healthy scalp means healthier, stronger, bouncier hair.
FIX IT: Supplements can help create more resilient hair and Viviscal, £119.95 for three months supply, is a great one to get hair into better condition.
TRY IT: Finish every wash with a cold rinse to draw blood to the surface and stimulate hair growth, and do spend a few minutes massaging your scalp to boost blood flow too.

Carly Craig and Chelsea Frei | Sideswiped
In Sideswiped from YouTube Originals, a lifetime of saying no has left a workaholic single and miserable on her 35th birthday, causing her to plunge into the hellish world of Tinder by dating all 252 of her matches. Spurred on by her younger sister— a married woman experiencing a seven-year itch— the women are joined by their online dating savvy mother, leading to a multi-generational comedy about relationships – both romantic and familial. — YouTube Originals
Nora Henick: So Chelsea's actually been on La Femme Collective before, back in her earlier days, so we're excited to have her back. And we're excited to welcome you for the first time, Carly! We were rewatching the trailer over and over again and we actually were actually having a conversation the other day about hymens growing back.
Cori Futrovsky: I genuinely thought they could. She called me out on it. I felt it sounded right.
NH: Medically, I don't think it's a thing that could happen… but… anyway. So what was it like writing the show? Talk us through the process. I know it's a big question, but talk us through what it was like to write something and then also star in it.
Carly Craig: [laughs] Well thank you for watching it so many times! Overall, the pilot, I wrote that before we sold it. Then we had a small writer's room for the rest of them. I wrote one, two, six and eight. Me and this girl Robin Schiff show-ran it, so we would be involved in all of the writing. But it was really great to write something so personal, a lot of the storylines were based on things that had happened to me. That's exactly what I've always wanted to write. I wanted to set a tone that was grounded but had the ability to go to those dramatic places; I wanted to be able to create a level of humor that was able to come out of the realness of life. For me, it was a dream. It was exactly what I wanted to do because those are the parts I want to play.
NH: So my follow up to that is… what sort of experiences did this stem from in your life? And Chelsea, did your character and this role feel relatable for you?
CC: It definitely stemmed from my real life. Chelsea, you're playing a married woman and you're not married. How did you feel?
Chelsea Frei: Yeah, but in terms of the dates and stuff, I mean Nora, you remember back in the NYU days, I felt like the only way I could go on a date with someone was through an app.
NH: Oh yeah, for sure.
CF: I feel like I had so many insane stories and dates. My friends too. It was just constantly going on dates that 90% of the time were awful. The other 10 percent, someone ghosted me. But in terms of my character, Jane, no I'm not married, but we're at that stage where people are starting to engaged and make that next step. It's definitely been on my mind, especially because this past year I've had 3 or 4 friends get engaged. So I would think about it a lot, even in my own situation, and it made me empathetic to the situation. I thought about it in a way I've never really thought about it before.
CC: It was based on a lot of people I know, a lot of friends of mine and my sister. You know, you try and get married and have kids before you're 30, because that's what you're "supposed" to do, and then you do all of the right things, and you have the nice house and the great husband and the beautiful baby and then you realize you never had the time to figure out who you are and do your thing and go through your own experiences to learn what you want in life. And now you have a kid and you can't just make choices based on what you want. It's a scary place to be in. You have "everything" but you actually feel trapped. It feels wrong, but it really is totally normal and natural to feel that way.
NH: There's definitely been a shift in the conversation recently; women have become more vocal in saying things like okay no, we're not here just to reproduce; we have things we want to do, experiences we want to have. We want to go out and sleep with people and not feel bad about it. We want to live our lives. We want to have fun. We want to do it all without anyone else's say. So I think it's really awesome that that's what you're trying to capture in the show. And on the subject of new experiences… have you two ever let family or friends take over your dating apps before?
CC: Oh no. I haven't. But I've taken over dating apps before. Actually, that's wrong. Daniel, the guy who co-created the show, when I went on Tinder, he took my Tinder and he started swiping and writing to people. We got into a fight over it because he was acting like it was a video game but it's really me on there! He was just writing the funniest things he could think of, but what if I really liked those people?
COF: People screenshot that stuff.
NH: There are Instagram accounts for that. Tinder Nightmares.
COF: Overheard Bumble.
CC: I follow those!!
CF: I used to take my roommate's phone and airplay it to the TV and pull up his Tinder. We would go through everybody and decide what he was going to say.
NH: That is amazing but also my worst nightmare.
CC: Same. I'd love to do it to someone else.
COF: I think that Vanity Fair does that. They have videos of celebrities taking over other people's Tinder accounts.
CC: Moral of this conversation is never let your friends take over your dating apps.
NH: Agreed. And it seems like don't let moms or sisters take them over either.
CC: Definitely not. Which you will learn on Sideswiped.
COF: What's one [other] thing you want people to take away from the show?
CC: I feel like a lot of women have been told they have to live this fairytale life with a fairytale ending, which involves the overplayed trope of getting married young and having kids (which isn't wrong if it's what you want to do!). But it's not for everyone. Cinderella met that man when she was like 16, I think. What if we cut to ten years later to see where they were really at? My message in this is less what Chelsea's character says about kissing frogs until you find a prince and more about using those experiences to figure out who you are and learning more about self-love. You'll see all three women go through huge changes throughout the show. And we learn that if someone fits in with your life at a certain point, then great. But it's not about changing to make them fit. It's so important to figure out who you are in life and what you love and what you love about yourself before you bring in someone else. It's not your typical rom I would say. It's about three women who are figuring out on the inside.
NH: So it seems like there's a lot of character development throughout the show. On a personal level, what was your own growth like throughout working on the show?
CC: For me, it's been huge. All of these opportunities that I had been given with this show were new to me. There was a lot of leadership things I learned along the way. I learned that I'm capable of a lot more than I originally thought. I felt really proud afterward of what we created. I wanted everyone to have fun and feel appreciated, and I feel like we were able to do that.
NH: Chelsea, did you have fun?
CF: Oh my god yes. For me, everything was so new. I was so nervous at first. It was my first time doing a full series. I learned so much from Carly and Roseanna, acting wise. They're both so accomplished; I feel so lucky they treated me like a part of the family. After the first day, the nerves disappeared. People wanted me to be there!
CC: We always said she was a star. From the moment we met her. She fit right in.
CF: Aw thank you. On top of that, I'm a writer and creative too, so getting to see Carly do that was so mind-blowing. The thing I learned most from Carly was decisiveness. Her decisiveness on set was so cool. I think it's what made it so enjoyable. We knew what we were going for. If you're not ready when you have this opportunity, it can so easily and quickly turn into a disaster.
NH: When I'm at work though, and I start doing something or I agree to take something on, my mindset is always something along the lines of 'okay, if I can't figure this out on my own, I'm going to Google it.' But based on your industry and your specific job, Carly, you can't do that. You have to know what you're going to do. You have to know what you want. It's such a different world.
CC: Yes! And to be able to say if you don't know how to do something. That's really important. From the beginning, I would hire really smart people for different positions so I knew where to delegate. I knew what I was good at and where my strengths are, so I also knew where I needed to pass things along.
NH: And now for an on theme question… has there ever been a situation in your life you've figuratively swiped left on that you wish you swiped right on?
CF: Wow that's a good question.
NH: Chelsea you're up next.
CC: I feel like, when I want something in life, even if it's stupid, I'll go for it. I've been that way since I was young. I've done stuff and fallen on my face. But I don't know if I have regrets for stuff I didn't do. I think I'm okay there.
CF: I think I'm the same way. I'll make decisions and they may not be the smartest or turn out the way I intended, but I'm not one to say no. I'm definitely more one to say yes and then say oh my god why?
COF: That's such a good way to be. Have you ever gotten any advice that really truly resonated with you throughout your career?
CC: Yes! Early on, I had a manager, Bernie Brillstein, and it was before he brought me on… he told me that girls in comedy were a rare thing. Comedy wasn't what I saw myself doing. But he pushed me to write. He believed in my comedy before I did. He pushed me to go in that direction and it changed my entire life and career.
CF: I had this really weird experience when I studied abroad in London. One of my teachers asked us to go up in front of the class, five at a time, and do something that gets everyone's attention. So I started doing some wild stuff, I was humping the wall. I was being insane. There was one girl in the class; she just stood and stared and smiled. She was open, vulnerable, and present, and everyone in the class stared at her. So our teacher told us, sometimes the simplest thing you can do is the most effective. When you're the most vulnerable, that's when you can be the most captivating. I always think about that. Sometimes you don't need to be humping the wall.
CC: I mean yeah. Don't always stop humping the walls, though. Do you.
COF: Every once in a while, it's hilarious. That definitely should be the advice. Every now and then hump the wall.
NH: And now for our classic question. As our two newest (though Chelsea's already technically been given this title) entrefemmeurs, what does being an entrefemmeur mean to you? Welcome to the very non-exclusive club, by the way.
CC: It's being your true self. It's knowing you're capable of doing anything. It's going out there and being your badass self and knowing that that's special enough. Not having to hump the damn wall all the time.
NH: Unless you want to, and then just do it.
CC: I totally agree.
CF: Not having to hump the wall. I agree. I love all the women on La Femme Collective. It's the same idea throughout for me. Trying to say yes to as much as possible, even if you know it might not work out exactly as you want. One of the things I've learned from writing and making my own content is that you have to try. Even if it's going to be bad. You have to try. Or else you won't learn.
CC: Your version of making it versus whatever is actually going to happen. It's the ride that prepares you. Keep going. Keep doing your thing. You never know what's ahead. You're capable of doing anything.

Visiting New York in November
I'm pleased to confirm that your favourite well-spoken, British Mistress will be visiting New York shortly before Thanksgiving this year, arriving some time around 13-15th November and staying for a week. New York is one of my favourite cities in the World, and I'm already excited about this upcoming opportunity to explore it further.
Last time I spent a few days in the city I met some fantastically entertaining and friendly slaves, so I'm looking forward to much more of the same on this occasion. If you're a shopping slave or financial servitude piggy, you'll be pleased to hear that I'll be offering one or two opportunities for shopping / dining dates during my trip.
I'll be travelling with a friend who is also a beautiful, young, educated, naturally dominant lady so there is the potential for double Dommme sessions whilst I'm there. We are a rare pairing not to be missed by any Anglophilic subbies 🙂
To enquire about my availability, contact me ASAP via email: email@example.com
I do tend to get booked up quite far in advance so to deter timewasters I will ask new slaves for a small deposit to secure a session whilst travelling. This can be paid securely and anonymously via an Amazon.co.uk gift card.

1. Augmented Performance Support for the Workplace - Phone and Mobile: While Virtual Reality is fascinating and engaging, the challenge of having to wear a surround set of goggles and be hooked to a high end computer has reduced the widespread adoption of VR for workplace learning and readiness. There are exceptions in the aviation and medical space, but it is not scalable in 2017.
However, watch the technologies that you will see coming from mobile phones, including some early indicators that the next iPhone MAY have dual cameras that allow for what we are calling "Augmented Reality". (Don't love the term but am intrigued by the emerging capacities.)
Imagine a worker can take out their phone and point to something in the workplace or even on their screen, add a video chat with another resource, and have "performance support" content appear over the picture. This ability for the user to mix and call forth content that is overlaid on a visual in the camera is where we see performance support moving.
In the coming months, we will see the merger of Augmented Reality, Phones, Machine Learning, and more. It has huge implications for the world of marketing, apps, and I believe Workplace Augmented content. The technology has to blend into the learner's daily reality vs. donning a heavy headset. Here is one of the articles to check out: http://tinyurl.com/augrealwork

This article is a reply that deals with certain criticisms concerning views expressed in my article titled Pagan Philosophy, Unbelief, and Irrationalism.1 This article briefly exposed the bankruptcy of materialistic and empirical philosophy in particular and the worldview of non-belief in general. It was asserted: "Matter is silent; it does not speak. It does not say what is right or what is wrong. The definition between good and evil is found in the Bible. God is not silent." These assertions on my part were not original. Many Christian apologists have discussed these ideas when dealing with atheistic materialism.
The article was challenged regarding to the accuracy of these assertions and how assertions of this nature could be harmonized with the teaching of Scripture that shows matter does speak using passages such as Romans 1:19,20, dealing with creation's testimony, and is therefore not silent. To start with, the claim "matter is silent" must not be understood apart from the context of the article: to point out that the materialistic worldview is philosophically unable to arrive at truth from any source, particularly matter. Matter according to this view is ultimately just an accident and is therefore meaningless. As will be seen, the crux of the problem is with fallen man. The article in question did not deal with the broader subject of general revelation from a Christian perspective.
Also, when stated that "matter is silent" this assertion should be understood as meaning that matter does not speak in or with an audible sound like human speech and does not communicate or have any meaning at all within the framework of a non-believing worldview. This is especially true when dealing with specifics, notably in the areas of science, ethics, and logic. Considering the Christian worldview in contrast, it can be said that matter does have a testimony. Its testimony is imprinted in it by virtue of its creation. In this reply, there will be a brief account of general revelation (creation knowledge) and special revelation (biblical knowledge) along with additional challenges to materialistic philosophy, contrasted with biblical philosophy. However to clarify things, reformed Christians believe that God conveys truth through both of these avenues. There is no conflict between these two forms of revelation. I believe that all creation testifies that God exists e.g., Psalms 19:1-3, Romans 1:18-20 and that God has spoken authoritatively in the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments. As will be seen, the problem is with man and specifically fallen man.
The article in question points out that the non-believing worldview is unable to articulate in a credible way a theory of ethics. The transcendental argument, or as some might say a worldview apologetic, was briefly used to illustrate the deficiency in non-believing thought. The transcendental argument shows the Christian worldview to be true because of the impossibility of the contrary. A worldview must have a theory of knowledge that can account for certain things, such as ethics, logic and science. The non-believer has never shown how one can get from matter like rocks to a concrete argument of why Stalin's murder of millions of people, in particular the Ukrainians was wrong. The thrust of the aforementioned article is against atheistic materialistic philosophy, which produces death and destruction recorded repeatedly in history.
To start with, in light of the truth of Christianity and within the framework of the Christian worldview it can be said that creation has a testimony, albeit not audible like human speech. Creation does testify of God's existence. In contrast, within the framework of a materialistic worldview, matter is absolutely silent. This is a suppressed or imposed silence, the result of fallen man's ethical state reflected in his apostate philosophy. Within the Christian worldview the testimony of creation or general revelation is absolutely true but limited in its scope. Being limited does not imply deficiency. God always intended to give special or biblical revelation. Jesus is God's fullest revelation to man and He is revealed to us in the Scriptures. General revelation does not tell us about Jesus' death on the cross and how men are to be saved. The book of Romans and the Gospels do.
Matter is not alive. God creates matter. Because of this, matter has God's imprint. Therefore, matter's testimony mirrors or is reflective. It reflects God's glory like the moon reflects the light of the sun. This testimony is general in scope. In the article it is said, "matter is silent" which is to point out the bankruptcy of materialistic philosophy and its inability to speak with intelligence concerning specifics in the area of ethics, since its worldview is deficient. The materialist starts with time and chance and matter. If non-believers start with matter, how do they get from A (matter) to B (ethics)? Matter does not logically lead to anything within the framework of materialism. There are obvious disagreements between Christians and non-Christians in the area of interpretation of matter. The reason for these disagreements can be accounted for by the way in which evidence is interpreted. In essence, fallen man rejects God's interpretation of creation and imposes his own autonomous interpretation on created things, thus suppressing the truth. As will be seen, the materialist has nowhere to turn except his own conflicting autonomous capricious subjective evaluations.
The Christian sees all of creation as testifying of God's existence. The Christian looks to God to find the true meaning of matter and the facts surrounding it. The non-believer, however, sees nothing except matter, which cannot mean anything nor have anything to say apart from man's imposed interpretation. From a Christian perspective, man is governed by presuppositions. These presuppositions are determined by his nature, that is either fallen or redeemed. He interprets matter consistent with these presuppositions. Fallen man is still committed to the Satanic lie that "ye shall be as gods knowing good from evil" (Gen. 3:5). In the fall mankind rejected God given knowledge
Many are not epistemologically self-conscious, including some Christians, and therefore are unaware that they have presuppositions, which govern their interpretations. In particular, fallen man generally refuses to acknowledge that he has presuppositions and that his presuppositions govern interpretations of matter or anything else. To many, what is put forward as evidence and interpretation seems self-evident; but in reality is nothing more than a subjective evaluation. Escaping from subjectivity is no easy task. Does non-believing philosophy enable man to get beyond his subjectivity? Can non-believing man's rationalism (reason alone using logic) save him? Can the laws of logic within the framework of a non-believing worldview accomplish this? How can they, since the laws of logic cannot even be explained or justified within the framework of this philosophy? For example, where did these laws come from? Are they universally interpreted in the same way? The laws of logic within the framework of non-belief are nothing more than a philosophical construct, which ends up collapsing into irrationality.
Rational man, in other words, has no basis for his rationalism. The statement "matter is silent" should be understood in contrast to the statement that "God is not silent." This second assertion is the Christian solution to obtaining knowledge. God has spoken clearly to all men through the Scriptures. We have a biblical foundation for seeking knowledge and obtaining it. God given revelation is objective. Ungodly men reject biblical revelation, they suppress the truth that God has revealed to them through creation (Romans 1:18). God has clearly spoken in the Scriptures, i.e. special revelation to mankind concerning what is required of him. The suppression of God's revelation by fallen man is evidence of his epistemological rebellion.
In addition, regarding matter it can be said that, whatever testimony general revelation has, it is because God is the author of it. In and of itself, matter has nothing to say. Someone may object and say, "we can learn many things from rocks." This type of assertion is naive. Evidence is interpreted within the framework of a worldview. The presuppositions that govern a worldview determine what may be learned. If the presuppositions are false, evidence will be misinterpreted or suppressed. The mind of man does not interpret raw data without the aid of controlling presuppositions. Some deny this. For example, empiricists, those who believe that man's mind is blank in the beginning of life and then knowledge comes through sensations, believe that man's mind is capable of assimilating and correctly interpreting these raw data.
For example, empiricism historically argues that knowledge comes through sensations in the following order: (a) sensations, (b) perceptions, (c) memory images, (d) and the development of abstract ideas. In this system of interpretation perceptions are inferences from sensations. How does the empiricist know valid from invalid inferences? Given this uncertainty, how can the empiricist be sure of anything, let alone what type of matter he has? In addition, studies have shown that some individuals do not have memory images. How can this group of people know things empirically? This is no small problem for empirical epistemology. Tiredness, drugs, and optical illusions can deceive the senses, particularly in the area of sight (color) and hearing (sound) causing further uncertainty. The Christian would also not rule out sin and demonic deception as factors leading to false conclusions. Assuming that empirical epistemology has resolved these difficulties is just that, an assumption.
Consistent empirical epistemology leads to skepticism, as in the case of Scottish philosopher David Hume. Allegedly, Emmanuel Kant was awakened from his dogmatic slumbers when he saw the effects Hume's skeptical consistency were having on empirical epistemology. Kant tried to save epistemology by positing that man's mind organized empirical data by a priori categories through which sensations could be understood. Whether he did or not is another issue. Another problem for the empiricist is that it is impossible to know the totality of empirical data on any subject with the endless complexities of inter-related details, which always leaves open the possibility that the empiricist is mistaken in more than just his perceptions. Moreover, empirically, how does the empiricist assimilate the numerous sensations such as sight and touch into a coherent basis for knowing what anything is? The empiricist needs to explain his process of abstraction and demonstrate that it is free from error. Assuming the system works without demonstrating the process is nothing more than begging the question. Empirical scientists are notorious for making unjustified metaphysical assertions. See Gordon H. Clark's The Philosophy of Science and Belief in God 2 and John W. Robbins, The Sagan of Science3 for a number of instructive examples of this.

Roman Baths
Following my time at Bath Abbey, I sprinted through the town square over to the entryway for the Roman Baths. A couple that I had met in the Abbey tower mentioned that there was an excellent guided tour of the baths that took place every hour, on the hour starting in the center of the baths following the museum portion.
Making it there with a few minutes to spare, I walked around the perimeter of the baths, exploring what appeared to be broken stone archways and an unusually smooth and pockmarked stone floor. Our guide, Brian, mentioned that the wear to the soft limestone floor was due to spikes placed on sandals by the Romans for inclement weather.
It was context such as this that made me very glad that I caught the tour. The Roman baths were initially constructed over the site of a Celtic shrine to Sul almost two thousand years ago. The term "Sulis" is a feminization of Sul as the Romans assimilated the area in honor of the goddess Minerva.
The baths themselves sit upon the only natural mineral hot water source in Britain. As such, it has been known for its restorative powers (and also for those who exploit that "fact" to their advantage). If you're curious, the water (treated for bacteria) is on tap near the exit of the baths. It's worth drinking to say that you did it, but it tastes dreadful.
The real highlight is walking around the baths themselves, closing your eyes, and allowing your senses to transpose your body into a different time. The baths may be the oldest construction that I have ever visited (some of the places that I have visited in Japan were close) and the baths were easily the standout location of my visit to the city.

|ANNOUNCE: Penguin Greetings 0.8.0
|Thu, 10 Apr 2003 19:06:40 GMT
Dear Embperl types, I thought I would share with you all my open-source project using Embperl. It is a web/email ecards application that uses Embperl to allow content designers access to state and configuration information. It is also in the opinion of others "a very pretty application." :-) Peace, Edouard :-) ================== Freshmeat announcement: Penguin Greetings is a Perl CGI application to implement Internet greeting cards on Linux and other Unix-based systems. It includes a complete ecard Website with 20+ cards for users who want a "plug and play" ecards solution. It is intended to make ecards more like email by using multipart MIME email and including message text. The HTML for the cards and the creation screens are stored in templates so that users can completely customize the look of the program. Penguin Greetings incorporates EmbPerl so that full Perl expressions can be incorporated in to templates for server-side processing. Access to the card creation functions can be optionally restricted to users in an htpasswd file to avoid giving world wide access to your server. The emailing function and data storage are carried out by a separate daemon program which allows for cards to be mailed on specific dates and improves security and logging. Extensive documentation is provided as well an example Website that make full use of the EmbPerl scripting capabilities. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

Careers, News
Meet François Leboulanger, our new Head Sommelier!
Thanks to his passion, his intuition and his experience, he selects fine bottles to sublime the creations of our Chef, Jean-Luc Rocha, M.O.F.
A born Epicurean, François has early chosen the gastronomic delights and joined hospitality school at 18.
In between his apprenticeship of the various positions in bars and restaurants, he readily admits that he could have become a cook, but as he liked meeting people and be in contact with customers he chose wine waiting.
It is at La Tour d'Argent that François started on a high note the carrier that lead him for a decade from Deauville to La Baule, Courchevel, Saint-Tropez and Monte Carlo.
Well established as the Head Sommelier of the group Les Airelles, François chose to make other experiences and discover new sides of his job.
Between seasons il did not hesitate to fly to New Zealand or Australia to work in the vineyards and enhance his knowledge of the wines from the New World.
Back in France, he took part to the harvest and certain parts of the vinification process of the prestigious Angélus domain, a fascinating experience!
Year after year, his love for the complex beauty of the wines flourished thanks to his encounters with passionate wine-makers who are true architects of the soil.
His biggest prides? Be worth of the trust from the repeat customers, anticipate their taste as precisely as possible and give them as many small attentions.
His best memory? The savoring of a 1982 Château Margaux.
At the Saint James Paris, he prepares a selection of great vintages, to taste by the glass, in the library-bar or the gastronomic restaurant. Gevrey Chambertin, Meursault and Château Yquem are as many references he would like to make available to our guests.
His own tastebuds are particularly fond of aromas that are fresh, candied, with vanilla or roasted, like the Burgundy wines, his favorite.
For a fleeting pleasure or to make an unforgettable souvenir, François will thrill your palate. In the meantime, he kindly watches over the lovely bottles of the Saint James Paris before opening them for you.
The restaurant of the Saint James Paris is open to the public Mondays to Saturdays from 7:30pm to 9:45pm and on Sundays for brunch (noon to 4:00pm).
Breakfast and lunch daily restricted to members of the Saint James Club and hotel guests only.

Davis, CA is almost done with their Dutch intersection. One more week and the striping is scheduled be done, on August 3rd, 2015.
Interestingly, the design incorporates protected intersection features as well as conventional ones. So there is a refuge island, a setback crossing for cyclists and a separate crosswalk for pedestrians, as their should be in a protected intersection. AND on the road there's the typical mixing zone for cyclists who want to take the straightest path through the intersection to go straight, even if it means switching places with the cars turning right. And the brave and fearless riders can still make left turns from the left turn lane in the middle of the road if that's their preference. Check it out for yourself:
We can't wait to take a trip up to Davis in October or November to see it in person!

Stick to the Code
Quote: "Do not bring people in your life who weigh you down. And trust your instincts … good relationships feel good. They feel right. They don't hurt. They're not painful. That's not just with somebody you want to marry, but it's with the friends that you choose. It's with the people you surround yourselves with."― Former First Lady Michelle Obama
This episode I chatted with three beautiful queens who are the authors of the The Bestie Code which will be released very soon.
This trio of besties tell their brutally honest, hilarious and straight-forward narrative about the art of living by The Bestie Code, 10 fundamental principles of building and maintaining your best friendships, your squad, and girl gang. The book discusses issues with jealousy, being the blunt friend, setting boundaries, friendship expectations, co-existing with spouses, your best friend's "other" friends and more. I enjoyed our conversation.
Don't forget to pre-order The Bestie Code today! You can get more information here.

Happily Perplexus'd
I admittedly tend to shy away from plastic toys, but we recently caved and bought the Perplexus Maze Game, which Laurel couldn't stop talking about after learning about it from classmates. And I have to admit that this game is ridiculously fun. The 3D sphere comprises one long, convoluted maze track including three different entry points -- so, for example, you don't have to start at the beginning if you've already mastered section 1 of the maze. Following the maze requires careful rotation and keeping your eye on the ball.
The maze manages to be challenging (I'm still stuck on track section 2) yet doable (Laurel has already figured out track section 2), and the cognitive psychologist in me wonders whether the lasting enjoyment of this game relates to the fact that you're so concentrated on the track as you rotate that you rarely look at the big picture -- meaning, the maze always seems to look new and different when you approach it. Battery free and super fun for all (even baby Vi likes coming over and rolling it around on the floor...I think the sound of the marble rolling around inside appeals) -- it's a fantastic toy for home and travel.

How often in your life have you heard a dentist plead with you to floss your teeth more often? It seems like we all have trouble remembering to do this important part of our daily dental health regimen; and that's not even mentioning people with braces, bridges, bonding, or other issues that make flossing more difficult. To that end, let's talk about your flossing alternatives and how good they really are.
Floss Sticks (or Flossers)
These Y-shaped pieces of plastic have a piece of floss strung across them that you can easily push between your teeth and pull out stubborn plaque and pieces of food. They make a great alternative to toothpicks, but do they work as a replacement for flossing?
According to Dr. Thomas P. Connelly, DDS, writing for The Huffington Post, "It's better than nothing." Because the floss is strung tightly, it really can't wrap around the tooth or reach under the gums. Also, you can't reach the back of the tooth as well as you can with regular floss. However, if it's between using a floss stick and not flossing at all, your dentist will choose the floss stick.
Air Flossers
Air Flossers are powered devices that use compressed air to push a spray of water or mouthwash between the teeth. Studies seem to show that they are on par with flossing for effectiveness. If you are averse to flossing, but you are okay with spending a little cash and using some new technology, this could be your answer.
Water Piks
Water piks are also powered devices. Instead of compressed air, though, a concentrated stream of water and/or mouthwash is sprayed between your teeth. The process is also called water irrigation, and it's incredibly effective. Water piks have been around longer than air flossers, and they've been proven to be at least as effective as flossing. You can even use them on braces and teeth that are otherwise difficult or impossible to floss.

This week's recipe to enhance your culinary endeavors as you sharpen your Dominant's skills. Good food and good romance will lead you to the intimacy, connection and hot sex you dream about.
Pasta Puttanesca a la Dominique
A colorful, aromatic dish rich in flavor and history both! A fun Friday Night Date Night recipe.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (220 degrees C) and warm up pasta water.
• 2+ ounces olive oil to cover bottom of pan
• 3 to 4 cloves fresh garlic, to taste (more is better)
• ½ teaspoon crushed red chili flakes
• ½ tablespoon capers
• Black olives, cut into fourths
• 2 tablespoons julienne sun dried tomatoes
• Fresh basil, to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon oregano
• Sea salt and fresh ground black pepper
• 2 red peppers
• 2 Yellow pepper
• 1 Red Onion
• Fresh Spinach
• Balsamic chicken,1 large breast feeds two people
• Linguine or fettuccine, unflavored
- In a large pan heat olive oil and garlic. Cook until garlic begins to brown, don't overcook.
- Add remaining ingredients except fettuccine and spinach.
- Cook just until veggies are al dente.
- In separate pan cook chicken very slowly in balsamic vinegar and set aside until veggies are almost done so flavors remain intact.
- Cook pasta andante in salted water bath. Add spinach to veggies just before done, to wilt it.
- Either toss pasta in pan with chicken and remove to nice dinner plate, or put pasta on plate and put Putt anesca mix on top with chicken on the side for a nicer presentation.
- Garnish with fresh basil, feta cheese, black olives, sweet cherry tomatoes and anything else you like from the olive bar at your local market. Shaved Parmesan is nice on top and looks good. A little fresh goat cheese is also molta bene!
- Add wine and old Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Andrea Bocelli & Pavarotti records.
- A little Italian history on this dish…
Puttanesca translates as "in the style of the whore." The name derives from the Italian word puttana, which means whore. Puttana in turn arises from the Latin word putida, which means stinking .
If you're wondering how this tasty dish became associated with such sordid content. As is often the case when sifting through culinary history, there are multiple explanations. The first interpretation is that the intense aroma, (harking back to the "stinking" Latin definition), would lure men from the street into the local house of ill repute. Thus, the Napolese harlots were characterized as the sirens of the culinary world.
Three additional accounts all hinge on the fact that Puttanesca sauce is easy and quick to make. The first is that the prostitutes made it for themselves to keep the interruption of their business to a minimum. The second is that they made it for the men awaiting their turn at the brothel. And the final version is that it was a favorite of married women who wished to limit their time in the kitchen so that they might visit their paramour.
Interestingly, black olives are an ingredient in numerous recipes considered to have aphrodisiacal properties. Moreover, they are rumored to specifically increase the female libido.
Maybe that's what put the eroticism in Puttanesca sauce? Perhaps that is the reason this is my very favorite dish to cook for that special "first dinner." In my case this dish is the one I made for my wonderful fiancé the day after I met her and when I calmly told her I planned to collar and own her, something no man had ever said to her before.
"My mother said it was simple. To keep a man, you must be a maid
in the living room, a cook in the kitchen and a whore in the bedroom.
I said I'd hire the other two and take care of the bedroom bit"
…Jerry Hall, wife of Mick Jagger
