When Rodney Mullen speaks, you'll be inspired, or at least walk away thinking more about your motivations and power to make things happen. In this episode of "Impact Theory" with host Tom Bilyeu, Mullen discusses a range of topics including injuries and the painful process of bouncing back and how focusing on skateboarding helped him through tough times. Mullen also offers his views on defining the barriers of disbelief and how he breaks through them.
As Mullen explains, "Rarely is it a question of talent or technique at those levels. It's just one of belief and the concomitant will to kind of do something that either no one's done before, or even more, I think, to crack open the barriers that people consider impossible or un-doable."
When searching for motivation, you may find it in Mullen's musings and drops of wisdom…
"Just find joy in what you do for the sake of it. And then recognize how you're being shaped in the process, and hopefully, you become a better man through it."
In this installation of "Impact Theory" Rodney brilliantly articulates some of the hardest things to describe as a skateboarder in very relatable terms. As the "Impact Theory" series explores ideas of igniting human potential, this episode succeeds on every level.

How to Use Pain to Become the Best In the World | Rodney Mullen on Impact Theory – Show Synopsis

More than his accomplishments, Rodney is most proud of inspiring those after him to dream beyond the impossible. The man whose character was featured in Tony Hawk pro skater for over a decade shares the importance and impact of shattering disbelief on this episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu.
Impact Theory delves into the minds of various luminaries including entrepreneurs, athletes, scientists, authors, entertainers, thought leaders, visionaries etc. The goal of the program is to offer up the tools for success through transformative and motivational conversation, covering various topics from philosophy to fitness and everything in between.

Every candidate meets your requirements
10x10 uses AI to aggregate and match top candidates from recruiting agencies
We make hiring 10x easier and 10x faster
A+ Talent
Hire the best engineers not on job boards and not reachable via cold email. Passive candidates trust our recruiting network to advise and connect them with exciting careers.
No spam – only qualified and interested candidates. Companies interview over 70% of our candidates (3.5x better than industry average) who are pre-vetted by recruiters.
Outreach Diversity
Reach beyond your network – 10×10 reaches a large pool of qualified candidates aggregated from the best recruiting agencies.
How we help 50+ companies hire top talent
10×10's quality and speed are outstanding, setting a very high bar for all hiring solutions. In one month, I've interviewed over 90% of the great candidates they shared. We've made three successful hires with their help.
We've already filled two seats (an engineering manager and a senior front-end engineer) through 10×10. We've used a bunch of services like it, and 10×10 has already exceeded them in terms of candidate quality and volume.
Paul Sawaya, CTO, Captain401
The team at 10×10 spent time to really understand my role and requirements. We hired a near impossible to fill Head of Engineering through them, and would strongly recommend other companies work with them, too!
Will Houghteling, CEO, Strive Talent
Interview candidates from
How it works
Employer signs a single recruiting agreement with 10x10 and connects your jobs to the 10x10 platform.
Our AI software analyzes and matches your jobs with large pool of candidates.
You're presented with vetted, qualified candidates, excited about your company.
Founding story
In 2015, I joined a startup that had just received $25m in funding and was excited to triple the engineering team. Hiring became my top priority and consumed most of my waking hours. "Painful" would be an understatement when describing the process of recruiting for top engineers in the red-hot San Francisco market. To hire 25 new engineers, I worked evenings and weekends for over 6 months.
It seemed all my CTO friends had similar issues, so I began trying all the recruiting services and tools on the market, yet realized there's nothing close to a magic solution. After slogged through the pain of vetting and working with 50 different services, it was exhausting to build so many relationships and handle duplicates. I wish there is a single place I can go to find all the engineers I want to hire across all the agencies. I was looking for an "Open Table" for recruiting agencies that would aggregate all the talent in a single platform. This led me to found 10×10 – to build a product for all the fast growing companies that struggle to hire efficiently.
I have hired and managed many hundreds of engineers at both startups and public companies with teams that built many industry leading products. Although I love building products, I realized that what I have more passion for building teams and help people grow their careers. Starting a recruiting company means that I can do that not just for my company, and also for all of 10by10's customers. So, I quit my job and went through YCombinator to transform recruiting with 10×10.
Our mission is to help companies and people live their dreams. We help companies find the talent to accelerate their growth and help talent find fulfilling careers. We make the world a better place by connecting talent and companies 10x easier and 10x faster.

Photography is about capturing life. When you are a parent of young children you arrange frequent sessions when your children are younger. Then as they enter school and the sessions become less frequent. Then when they become Seniors in High School you schedule their "Senior photo" session. And then again when they get married you seek out a wedding photographer...and then they get pregnant, and they take over the cycle of photography.
But what about you! The parent, grandparent, great Grandparents? You need to be included, because your kids, grandkids and great grand kids will want those photos. They will want to show their kids that they have their grandmothers eyes and great grandfathers lips. It goes further than just parents, it extends to aunts, uncles and cousins.
Sometimes loved ones are taken from us quickly and we don't get a chance to get a good photo of them when they were happy. Sometimes love ones are diagnosed with something life altering before they can get that family photo. Often between doctors appointments and treatments a photo sessions seems the furthest thing from your ability to schedule. And it just may be, but a 30 minute time block for photos will mean the world to future generations. I know a couple of families that have recently contacted me because of such a diagnoses, they want photos now before they lose their hair, or a breast or have to have an eye patch in the rest of their photos. Each family has expressed they want photos to celebrate the way they live now, and will later take photos when they are on the other side of their diagnoses and can celebrate they storm they survived.
But there is no reason to wait for a diagnoses, get photos now, and often with your parents. Just because you haven't lived in their house for 20, 30 of 50 years or more doesn't mean you shouldn't be including them in photos. And I am guilty of this! It is my mission in the next 6 months to get photos with my mom. I know sounds simple being a photographer...but it's harder than you think. I'm an only child so this is extra important to me. My in-laws also don't know they have the same fate coming for them and their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren!
Be like this family and get photos frequently and have fun with it!

Kendall Jenner looked like a bubble gum pink princess at a Tiffany & Co. store opening in Sydney on Thursday.
For the event, the 23-year-old model and reality star donned a short silk dress with the poufiest pink ruffled sleeves and a frilly feathered collar.
She accessorized the outrageous dress with a pink and silver butterfly choker, white heels that looked straight out of the '80s and a subtle pink lip.
It's quite the look:
The poufy pink look looked similar to an outfit Kylie Jenner wore at the Grammys in February, which came off as a confusing mess.
Kylie wore a Balmain look from the design house's spring/summer 2019 couture collection with a belt, pink heels and Lorraine Schwartz diamonds.
The two sisters recently made headlines for a goofy exchange on Instagram, as Kendall poked fun at a steamy photo of Kylie and Travis Scott from their recent vacation in Mexico.
Kylie captioned the sultry shot "baecation," and Kendall commented, "Who took these pics? Love a third wheel." Kylie wrote back, "self timer baby."

Even before you got engaged and started the wedding planning process, you might have heard the term "wedding planner" or "wedding coordinator" and thought they were pretty much the same person. While a full-service wedding planner that is with you throughout the majority of your wedding planning process will take on the role of a wedding coordinator on the day of your wedding, a wedding coordinator is generally considered a separate person for those brides doing the majority of planning themselves. Sound confusing? It is! But here's what you need to know:
Wedding Planner:
Think of a wedding planner as your new best friend. This person has no other job but to make sure your wedding is exactly what you want it to be (so pretty much the most amazing best friend ever). When you choose to hire a wedding planner might vary, but theoretically they are the person you call shortly after you get engaged and after you figure out a general budget (and whether or not you can afford a wedding planner, which we'll get to in another post). Once you hire a wedding planner, you give them a very broad (or very detailed) vision of your wedding and they can then help you pick out everything from a wedding venue to wedding florists, caterer, furniture rentals, invitations, and more. Depending on your time and budget constraints, you can then be as involved as you want to be. If you're super busy at work or in life and don't have 150 hours to dedicate to wedding planning, they can take it over for you. Or if you have time for certain aspects of it but not others, they can work with you as much or as little as you want. Wedding planners can help you not only create a detailed timeline and budget but hopefully help you stick to it. And if they're worth their salt they will be able to offer a vast amount of knowledge and insight into the best vendors in your area to bring your wedding vision to life.

5 Things To Do After Purchasing An Investment Property/
You bought the building, now it's time to crack the whip and get it into shape. The sooner this is done, the sooner you can put things on auto pilot. First things first:
Notify tenants of ownership change & meet with them
This seems pretty obvious but it goes overlooked many times. Tenants are your customers. Happy customers pay on time, respect the property, and stay longer. As the new owner, existing tenants will view you much like the previous landlord. Regardless of the previous owner's management style and tenant relations, it's important to come in right away and set the tone. Your goal is simple, gain the tenants' trust, find out what outstanding issues or deferred maintenance might need immediate attention and resign or extend leases.
Change the locks and master key the building
Maybe you got lucky and the building already has a master key system. Odds are good that the previous owner handed you a bag of unmarked keys at the closing table. Eliminate this hassle day one. A great time to change the locks is when you meet with your tenants. The tenants will know you mean business and will appreciate the added sense of security.
Service heating/cooling systems
If you inspected the property prior to purchasing you probably have a decent idea of the condition of the heating and cooling systems. If there is a central heating system, it's a good idea to have the system serviced, even if you are in the dead of winter and it looks to be working properly. If the building has individual heat, set up a schedule for routine maintenance of the individual units. The only time tenants check on heating/cooling units is when they don't work. Don't let it get to that point. Preventative maintenance = lower overall operating costs.
Put up a management/ownership sign and include info for rentals
This is a requirement in many cities and in general it makes good business sense to have a sign with your name/company name, phone number and even some rental info. If there is a problem at the building, everyone will know how to reach you, including neighbors and the authorities. This is also a good source for future tenant inquiries and you will probably field calls from prospective buyers from time to time.
Start thinking of ways to add value and increase rents
Owning investment property is a business even if you only operate a few units. Remember, tenants are your customers and eventually you will sell this property. Think of creative ways to add value that justify higher rents and a higher sale price down the road.
Here are a few simple ideas: add common laundry or laundry in the units, keep the kitchens and baths updated, provide storage units if space allows, create an appealing outdoor community area, be meticulous about cleaning the common areas of the building and maintaining an appealing exterior, provide basic cable or internet and include it in the rent.
The list goes on and is only limited by how much you want to invest in the property. The best thing you can do if you don't want to invest money in capital improvements is provide a clean, safe and comfortable environment and be responsive to tenants needs.

The fact that Harry is going to Stonewall while Dudley is going to Smeltings is another contrast in the way they are treated by the Dursleys. Color is also important in that Dudley gets a colorful uniform while Harry is adorned in gray-dyed hand-me-downs.
The Smeltings knobbly stick is also an important symbol. Rowlings cynical statement that the Smeltings students hitting each other with their knobbly sticks is supposed to be good training for later in life is a social commentary on the competitiveness and dog-eat-dog attitude of the world.
When Dudley shows off his uniform Harry and the Dursleys have opposite reactions: Harrys holding back from laughing is juxtaposed with the Dursleys pride.
Rowling uses similes by comparing Harrys dyed uniform as looking like bits of old elephant skin and by describing Harrys heart as twanging like a giant elastic band when he sees his letter.
Rowling uses metaphoric language and color in this sentence: His face went from red to green faster than a set of traffic lights... Within seconds it was the grayish white of old porridge.
Rowling is gradually dropping clues, for those few readers who dont know what the book is about, concerning Harrys wizard background: Im not having one in the house, Petunia! Didnt we swear when we took him in wed stamp out that dangerous nonsense? This quotation exemplifies the Dursleys undying commitment to normalcy at all costs and the nature vs. nurture theme (the Dursleys are trying to unteach Harry whats in his blood, but find that they cant).
Dudleys love for toys, especially his television and computer, and dislike of books is a social commentary by Rowling. Rowling thinks too many kids are growing up glued to the television and blowing up aliens on computer games and too few are reading. She makes Harry out to be better off for not being corrupting with the modern conveniences of TV and computers. Rowling makes Harry out to be a noble savage of sorts, a nature boy uncorrupted by civilization much as Huck Finn was in Mark Twains works.
The Dursleys birthday and Christmas gifts for Harry are a running joke throughout the series.
Rowling writes of Uncle Vernon buying a long, thin package. In the next chapter its revealed that this package is a rifle. Rowling will increasingly give small clues and then reveal their significance as the book and the series continues. The fact that Rowling dislikes everything the Dursleys stand for combined with Uncle Vernons purchase of a rifle is a hint that Rowling dislikes guns. Also consider the fact that Dudley owned a toy rifle before he broke it. The guns are symbols for violence even though they are never used. Hagrids destroying the rifle rather than just taking it might also be symbolic.
Harrys birthday celebration, or lack thereof, is contrasted with Dudleys thirty-eight present bonanza the chapter before. Harry and Dudleys treatment has also been juxtaposed with the number of pictures each has on the mantle, what each of them has to do for chores, their bedrooms, and their school uniforms.
Rowling uses the countdown of minutes very effectively, with clues of Hagrids presence growing as Harrys birthday nears, with a climatic, booming knock coming at midnight.
According to Rowling, the Ministry of Magic doesn't find out which children are magic. In Hogwarts there's a magical quill that detects the birth of a magical child, and writes his or her name down in a large parchment book. Every year Professor McGonagall checks the book, and sends owls to the kids who are turning eleven.

Sleuthing the Secret Life of Science Fiction
Mapping Queer Science Fiction with a talk and tour of the ONE Archive.
In the 1930's, finding life outside the closet sometimes meant looking for another planet. A generation of gay and lesbian sci-fans did just that. They were drawn to a genre that allowed them to imagine new worlds where they could be their true selves and love whomever they wanted.
Join Atlas Obscura and the ONE Foundation after hours at the ONE Archive, as we explore this incredible time in literary history. A time that ultimately led to the foundation of some of the first LGBTQ publications in the United States, or the world for that matter. Early gay activists like Jim Kepner and Lisa Ben, cut their teeth in the sci-fi world, learning the art of publishing and telling a compelling story.
Dr. Joseph Hawkins, Ph.D will take us searching into the rich history of science fiction publications ranging back to the 1930's. These publications became a way to explore LGBTQ themes and topics virtually impossible in other magazines and literary journals. But under the guise of other worlds, monsters and mysterious places anything was possible. He has spent years searching the archives, mapping this important and unknown history. For the presentation he will pull select items from the archive, including materials from the early science fiction and fantasy clubs of the time.
Also as a special rare addition to this event, archive staff will lead participants through a tour of the One Archive. The general public does not generally have access to the archive in this way. It is a chance to explore this important topic, as well as this vital resource.
ABOUT JOSEPH HAWKINS, Ph.D
Joseph Hawkins, Ph.D., currently teaches anthropology and gender studies at the University of Southern California. His anthropological research focuses on homosexuality and identity in the postwar period of Japan. His translation of "A Tour of Gay Town," from the Yomiuri Shimbun appears in the recent volume Queer Voices Out of Japan, from Rowman and Littlefield.
He was previously the President of the Board of Directors of the ONE Archives Foundation and is currently Director of ONE Archives at the USC Libraries.
ONE National Gay & Lesbian Archives at the USC Libraries is the largest repository of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer (LGBTQ) materials in the world. Founded in 1952, ONE Archives currently houses over two million archival items including periodicals, books, film, video and audio recordings, photographs, artworks, organizational records, and personal papers. ONE Archives has been a part of the University of Southern California Libraries since 2010.
It is the mission of ONE National Gay & Lesbian Archives at the USC Libraries to collect, preserve, and make accessible LGBTQ historical materials while promoting new scholarship on and public awareness of queer histories.
The ONE Archives Foundation, Inc. collects, preserves, and protects LGBTQ history, art, and culture in collaboration with ONE Archives at the USC Libraries. To provide access to the ONE collection, the Foundation presents and supports projects, programs, exhibitions, and education to share the LGBTQ experience with diverse communities worldwide.
- Parking is available at the archive and there is also street parking available.
- There is no food or drink allowed in the archive itself.
- Weather allowing, we will follow the event with a wine and cheese reception held in the outer courtyard.
- A part of the proceeds goes to supporting the ONE Foundation and their work.

Keeping my home pest free is a high priority on my list, and of course it must be done in a natural way! I like bugs just fine, outside where they belong, I don't like them in my house. A friend of mine said over coffee one day when we were chatting about a beetle problem one of my very first apartments had "If it doesn't pay rent, it doesn't live here!" She's extremely prejudiced against bugs in her house. The intensity on her face as she said it made me laugh, and that memory has stayed with me over the years.
Here's a great video on some natural ways to rid your house of ants.
I've also heard that a line of cinnamon across where you find them coming in will work. Do you have ant problems in your home? How you do keep them outside where they belong?

NY Purple Diesel is easy to grow and produces average yields of nice, aromatic weed. With its many purple hues, it's an aesthetically pleasing strain that boasts THC levels of roughly 17–19%. While it only produces medium yields, it has a nice aroma and flavor that makes for a nice smoke.
This strain flowers in roughly 55–60 days indoors. If you're growing outdoors in Europe, you can expect to see ripe flowers around the beginning of October. NY Purple Diesel is also relatively pest resistant, which—combined with its short flowering times—makes it a good strain for novice growers.

The Aberdeen operation of international oil services company Aker Solutions has named The ARCHIE Foundation and the Kidney Dialysis Unit Stonehaven as their official charities for 2012.
The company will support both charities throughout the year to help raise money and spread public awareness.
The company took the decision to get behind the Kidney Dialysis Unit when a member of staff was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease and had to be put on the transplant register to receive a donor kidney.
Julie Robertson (45), IT systems support coordinator at Aker Solutions in Portlethen, has been attending the Renal Unit at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary since October 2011 after being diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, which was caused by a common virus.
Mrs Robertson, from Stonehaven, said: "The kidneys are the body's filter system, preserving the fluid and chemicals which you need and getting rid of what is not required. Kidney failure, if left untreated, is fatal but modern medicine has provided us with a life saving therapy – dialysis.
"Without dialysis many patients would die. At present I have 15% function left of my kidneys. Once I reach below 10% I will start dialysis treatment. If we had a local unit set up in Stonehaven it would help so many people. Not only is it important to me, as a future user but it's vital for existing kidney patients south of Aberdeen.
"At present if you need dialysis it means visiting ARI three times per week and each session can take from four to eight hours depending on your needs. This in itself means a lot of disruption to family and working life.
"The unit in Stonehaven would operate 24 hours a day, this is essential as there are a restricted number of dialysis units and a large number of patients. This also allows people with children or jobs to come in at night time so it is not so disruptive to their family or their working life.
"The unit would also provide local services with trained staff to carry out the subsidiary services like blood tests and iron injections which many patients including myself have regularly by reducing the travel time."
Mrs Robertson has taken part in a number of fundraising activities to help raise money for the cause including getting the local Stonehaven and Area Riding Club to adopt the cause as their main charity for the year. She has also helped to organise sponsored dinners in aid of the Kidney Dialysis Unit and will be taking part in a sponsored walk later this year to help raise money for the charity.
Prior to being diagnosed with kidney disease, Mrs Robertson was very active and a keen horse rider and skier.
"I've always had a very jam-packed social calendar however I have had to slow down a lot due to the illness. We have also had to put family holidays and trips on hold since I was diagnosed with the disease. The condition has had a huge effect on my life and has stopped me from doing a lot of the things I enjoy.
"I have been overwhelmed by the support I have received from friends and colleagues and I cannot thank Aker Solutions enough for getting behind the Kidney Dialysis Unit and pledging to support the cause throughout the year."
Garry Michie, managing director at Aker Solutions' well service business, said: "We are committed to supporting local charities as part of our corporate social responsibility programme. With so many worthy causes in need of support, it was a tough decision to nominate just one, so we asked everyone to take part in an online survey in which they were asked to vote for a local charity of their choice. The Kidney Dialysis Unit and The ARCHIE Foundation received an overwhelming number of votes and were the clear favourites among staff.
The company will be organising a number of fundraising events throughout the year in an effort to make a huge difference to both causes. Aker Solutions is one of Scotland's largest employers with a workforce of more than 2,500.

Matt & Nicole - Berkeley Oceanfront Hotel Wedding - Asbury Park
Nicole & Matt had some of the most bizarre weather I've ever seen on a wedding day, especially for mid June. I don't think it got much above 50 for the whole day, and it was intensely foggy (as you'll see) I actually think the photos are way cooler because it was foggy. But, Nicole & Matt embraced the situation and had a stunning, unique, blast of a wedding.

Me: Is there a special place your creative inspirations comes from? How does your religion/faith path impact your creativity?
FreeDragon: Inspiration usually comes from art or nature. I like pretty things and if I see something beautiful I want to recreate it. Sometimes I treat my projects like spells. I'll smudge the materials with incense and start the project on a particular moon phase. I'll make careful choices about numerology and color meaning.
Dragons of Starry Skies
FreeDragon: As for dragons- I've always liked them and I can't remember any time when they weren't in my life. I was going to say I just started working with owls because I wanted a powerful totem to protect my blog against hackers, but now that I think about it, owls have always been in my life too. I like birds in general- crows and humming birds are more of my favorites. Of course, I think dragons should have wings. Maybe I just like things that fly!

Emergency and rescue vehicles of virtually every type will be on display throughout the indoor and outdoor exhibition areas Vehicles and vehicle equipment for the Emergency Services and allied organisations will be prominent among the displays of more than 400 organisations exhibiting at The Emergency Services Show, taking place at the NEC, Birmingham on 20 and 21 September. The UK's biggest emergency services event, the show is the perfect place to research the latest product, services and technology innovations for anyone involved in specifying and procuring vehicles and fleet equipment. Leading vehicle suppliers at the show include BMW, Jaguar Land Rover and Volvo Trucks as well as a wide range of chassis manufacturers and specialist vehicle converters. BMW will be showcasing its all electric and hybrid range-extender vehicles suitable for emergency use by police, fire & rescue and ambulance services. Rescue vehicles on display Emergency and rescue vehicles of virtually every type, including fire appliances, ambulances, fleet cars, motorbikes, boats and UAVs or drones will be on display throughout the indoor and outdoor exhibition areas. DLL, a subsidiary of Rabobank, is among vehicle leasing specialists at the show. West Midlands Fire Service (WMFS) will host an Extrication Challenge judged by United Kingdom Rescue Organisation (UKRO) officials. Teams of firefighters from WMFS as well as other brigades across the UK will be briefed on road traffic collision scenarios and then compete in extrications from two car wreckages using the latest kit and rescue techniques. The National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) Fire and Transport Officers Group will also be supporting the show. Road and motorway safety advice WMFS Road Casualty Reduction Team (RCRT) will be demonstrating virtual reality goggles which simulate a car journey, showing drivers the consequences of their choices and actions. Together with the Central Motorway Police Group, WMFS RCRT will be offering road and motorway safety advice and there will be a presentation from an emergency services blue light response driving instructor. Volvo Trucks, John Dennis and Emergency One will be showing their latest fire appliances, while Iveco and others will display the latest generation of smaller incident vehicles.

Specialist ancillary electrical equipment installers at the show include FCS and Halls Electrical.
The Magirus Team Cab will be integrated into all of the 53 fire engines ordered via Emergency One The Magirus Team Cab scores with great comfort, functionality and security, which convinces fire departments around the world. Babcock International Group (Babcock), responsible for all fleet management tasks of the London Fire Brigade, has now specified and ordered 53 fire engines via Emergency One UK Ltd (E1), the Scottish fire-fighting technology equipment manufacturer. The Magirus Team Cab will be integrated into all of them. The first vehicle will be delivered in May; delivery of the remaining 52 vehicles will extend over the next one and a half years until the end of 2017. London's fire-fighters will thus be protected by state-of-the-art safety technology during their operations. The vehicle was unveiled and presented in a ceremony in the presence of HRH Prince Charles, or the Duke of Rothesay as he is known in Scotland. Ron Dobson, Commissioner of the London Fire Brigade, said: "It was an honour to be able to show the prototype to His Royal Highness and I am looking forward to the new designs going into service later this year." "With the Team Cab, we were able to offer E1 and Babcock an excellent crew compartment. In addition to the special comfort it offers, it is the first cab on the market to be certified according to the newest ECE crash test requirements," said Thales Maia, Director of Sales and Marketing at Magirus. The Duke of Rothesay also praised the "incredible high-quality appliance" and congratulated all those involved for their contribution.
All vehicles are mounted on an IVECO Eurocargo chassis and have large water tanks and a Magirus MPN230 centrifugal pump After delivering 40 Magirus fire engines to the "Junta Nacional de Bomberos de Chile" one year ago, another 100 vehicles from a second order has now been sent to Chile as well. In the presence of Chile's Minister of the Interior Jorge Burgos together with the leader of the Chilean fire departments Miguel Reyes, representatives of 45 fire departments gathered to accept their vehicles. In a country with 18 million inhabitants and great topographic challenges, some 40,000 firefighters – nearly all of them voluntary – ensure the population's protection. Especially taking into account the major 2014 fire in Valparaiso, the Chilean authorities decided to equip their fire departments with a large number of new and robust vehicles. They ordered 100 fire-fighting vehicles of the following types: 1. 50x TLF4000 (C4 Semiurbano)2. 20x TLF4000 All-wheel (C4 Semiurbano)3. 30x TLF3000 (C5 Forest) All vehicles are mounted on an IVECO Eurocargo chassis and have large 3,000 or 4,000 litre water tanks and a powerful Magirus MPN230 centrifugal pump. Delivery of the vehicles took place within only twelve months of the order date. 45 years ago, Magirus delivered its first fire fighting vehicles to Chile. Today, the vehicles are an integral part of the street scene in the South American country.

5000 youth from over 20 schools are attending the Soweto Career Expo on the 24-25 May in Orlando.
According to Kgupi Gunguluza, the CEO of the Soweto Career Expo, The Annual Soweto Career Day and Expo is an interactive platform to share information about career awareness and development initiatives. With that in mind, this year the summit will be focusing on the unemployed youth in South Africa.
Every year close to 800 000 matriculants are trying to find their way forward. At best, every third person will be able to continue studying. The rest will join the ranks of the unemployed.
"It is an irony that companies can't find the people they need yet we have 6 million out of work youths" says Stefan Lauber from the Job Summit. Having consulted 20 industries in 2017, career education was widely identified as a need. That is why the Job Summit has teamed up with the Soweto Career Expo to help young people take the next step forward.
"Young people searching for a job will be able to register on the Job Exchange, which assists companies recruit youth for their entry level positions.
Young people are often asked, what do you want to become one day? Unfortunately, there is no easy answer.
Firstly, many school leavers do not have the means to continue their education. Or young people will not find employment because they lack work experience and worst of all, there are simply not enough jobs available.
South Africans are not the only ones facing this challenge because the nature of work is changing. There is a worldwide trend towards contract work and short-term rather than long-term jobs. This trend is often referred to as the new Gig Economy.
Here are ten things you can do
- Get your name out there: Most jobs are advertised – be that on the internet or in the newspaper. Recruitment Agencies still play in important role in placing people. So contact them. Submit your CV. Go to jobssummit.co.za to register and upload your CV.
- Network: The easiest way to find a job if someone introduces you to an opportunity. Don't you know anyone who can help? Think harder. Friends, family, church… You do know someone.
- Be pushy: Everyone has their own problems and they are likely to forget about you. Accept it. Call them again and again. Until you achieve your goal. Don't worry of making a nuisance of yourself.
- Take any job, even if it is not necessarily attractive. You will be able to earn at least some income, learn new skills and start building your CV. Many jobs are not in the office environment. Do not hesitate. Stand out with your desire to succeed. You will get the opportunity to move upwards.
- Learnerships, apprenticeships and internships are ideal for you to get practical work experience, acquire valuable skills that are in demand, even though you earn little. It's an investment in your future.
- Continue learning for the rest of your life. As technology changes, there will be an ever increasing need for more skilled people. How can you study if you have no money? Take advantage of a library but more importantly, there are large numbers of free e-learning courses on the internet.
- Improve your English. In order to get employed, you need to successfully pass an interview. You will not only have to look good but will also have to sound good. Speaking English well is in most careers important. How can you improve your English? Read, listen to radio and watch TV. Talk to your friends in English.
- Keep yourself busy. If you are not employed you will have spare time. Use it. Is there anything you could do or sell to create an income for yourself? Could you use your energy to help in the community? Not only will you feel better about yourself but you will also be able to show to a potential employer that you are a person with initiative and with the will to succeed.
- Believe in yourself. Close your eyes. Visualise yourself successful. Believe in yourself, who will if you don't do it yourself.
- Hang in there. Don't give up when the going gets tough. Continue trying. Stand out from the rest through your hard work.
What careers have most promise for the future?
IT or computer related professions are certainly going to be in demand. Scientists and Engineers will be needed. Teachers and nurses will remain attractive because no machine will be able to replace them. Call centre, customer service, sales, security and hospitality jobs will remain. All of these industries will provide valuable skills and give you the opportunity to progress.

Third time is a charm.
Third summer in OKC! Naturally, this means I'm going to try yet again to plant flowers and keep them alive. With another day in the 80s and a lot of rain in the past few weeks, I was forced to mow the yard again. Second time this week.
Don't get me wrong, I love mowing the yard. The white noise of the mower silences my thoughts. It's wonderful.
However, if we keep this weather up it's going to hold steady in the 120s! Note, I have not consulted with Gary, but he'd probably tell me I'm within 49 percent of being accurate.
It's going to be a hot summer. I'm game. Probably.
***Remember that really horrible hail storm? Oh, and the drought? What about the tornadoes?

Last Friday R2-D2 and I paid another visit the BBCH in Portland, Maine. They are a 2 hour drive south from me and they asked when I would be in the area again. Since this is the weekend of the New England R2 Builders get together in New Hampshire, this date worked out well!
I invited my brother, Greg, to join me since he lives right in Portland. We put him to work, handling the digital camera for the staff so they can print the pictures out for the staff.
Once up on the floor, I prepped R2 and disinfected the surfaces with the wipes they provided. We were set to go and the Child Life Specialist lead the way for us.
As usual, I can not take pictures with the patients due to privacy but one parent gave us her blessing to share a great photo of her daughter with the child life specialist and R2-D2
One of the volunteers named "Ann" was fantastic to work with.
Once we finished up, my brother posed for a photo with his aluminum "nephew"...
And of course, all of us together...
We really enjoyed our visit with the children and staff. Greg had to head out and R2 and I stayed put for a little while for staff and families to pose for pictures. The security staff was gracious enough to provide us with a large cart and muscle to load and unload R2 to the floor.
Trips and events like this make the whole R2 building experience extremely rewarding. We brought many, many smiles today and look forward to visiting again sometime soon!

Six years ago we bought our first house. The other day I came across the original pictures of this house when we purchased it and I was completely surprised.
Check this out!
Backyard view
Kitchen view
(What you can't see was the ceiling was a drop ceiling, falling down)
(Not my dream kitchen but a HUGE improvement!)
(I hated this fireplace!)
(I love travertine)
We also had a wall separating the front room/dinning room from
the living room/kitchen. We took that down the wall a few months ago, riped out the
old carpet and put in these new floors.
With girls like mine, I needed something easy to clean.
Removing the wall and putting new floors in was probably the
best thing we did.
I wish we had a before of the hall bathroom. Part of the shower was riped up
so we redid just about everything. We just put in travertine and that looks soooo
much better.
Yesterday we put our house up for sale.
I will be sad to see it go. We have a lot of memories here. The sweetest
memories would be bring each one of my new babies home here.
Seeing their first steps, hearing their first words, and all the laughter....
We will miss our first home!

Everyone in the world loves watching live TV for entertainment. Purchasing a TV connection or subscription can be expensive and a lot of people cannot afford it. These days even though people cannot afford a TV subscription but everyone surely owns a smartphone.

In this article, we'll tell you about live TV streaming apps which are similar to the most popular tv streaming app Solid Streamz. These apps are free to use and you can just download them on your smartphone device to watch unlimited TV shows.
So let us begin with our list of top alternatives for Solid Streamz live TV app.
Solid Xtream
It is one of the similar apps which streams live TV. This app uses a special code panel called Xtream which needs a host port, password and username. After these details are filled the channels are loaded from a high-speed server. It is a good app but again it is an alternative and not as good as Solid Streamz. You can use it if for some reason you don't have access to the other app. Solid Xtream also provides a categorized list of channels which makes it easy for users to find the one they want to watch. This app is free to download.
This is another alternative for live TV streaming app. This app supports all kind of channels like Hindi, Bollywood, regional, English, Sports, etc. It was trending as a great platform a few years ago but then developers didn't release updates and popularity decreased. It has all the basic features and some special features which allow you to do multi tv streaming. This app can be downloaded from the official website of the developers for free.
Geo Streamz
This app recently got popular among avid TV watchers because of some channels which were exclusively streaming only on Geo Streamz. Other than that it is also a great alternative for Solid Streamz as it packs all the good features and streams more than 500 channels in HD quality. If you are interested you can download this app from here: Geo Streamz.
LiveStream TV
This app provides great streaming services for its users. Using this app you can watch thousands of local channels from Germany, Asia, UK, United States, etc. This app streams all days of the week and 24 hrs a day which some of the apps in the same category lacks. It has all the required features and it's simple interface makes it really usable. You can directly download this app from Google Play Store in a few seconds. Developers of this app are also actively providing updates which fix any new bugs or problems which are found.
Final Verdict
There are many alternatives which we have not listed in this article like FilmOn or StreamingHD TV but they lack quality. The ones which we have listed in this article are the best ones, although they are not as good as the Solid Streamz app they can deliver what's required. You can try out and check for yourself which one suits you, but according to us, Solid Xtream is the best alternative. Solid Xtream even resembles with the name.
You can also install all these apps on your Windows PC. Here is the guide for installing Solid Streamz for PC. Following this same steps, you can get these alternatives installed on your Android device easily.

When bone loss has occurred, the gums can recede which can lead to an esthetic concern and to extra sensitivity due to exposed root surfaces.
Recession typically occurs because of bone loss from periodontal disease or the protruded position of the tooth in the jawbone.
Gum grafting is a corrective procedure that restores the gum to its natural, healthy state.
The goal of a gum graft has multiple purposes:
- to cover exposed root surfaces.
- to gain attached tissue where the tissue is very thin and loose
- to bulk an area of depression in the ridge
The gum graft is typically taken from the patient's palate and sometimes donor tissue from a tissue bank is used as well.

Will Obama Refinance Your Mortgage?
The New York Times reports that "A wave of refinancing could be a strong stimulus to the economy, because it would lower consumers' mortgage bills right away and allow them to spend elsewhere." The paper also points out that some federal regulators may try to block such a move. The plan could also complicate the value of certain mortgage-related investments.
The program would face other hurdles. It's possible that financial firms, such as banks, might need new appraisals, a process which can take weeks. There is also the issue of whether the deal would only be extended to people with good credit ratings.

Book review: Vassal, by Marissa Ames
Author's note: I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I thought I had waited too long to read Marissa Ames' first novel in the Tir Athair series, Minstrel, but by happy coincidence, I finished it just before the sequel, Vassal, was released, so I didn't have to wait long between books. Ames makes bold choices thematically and stylistically with her second book, setting it long enough after the first one that everyone from the first book is dead, referred to rarely, and only in an historical context. Also, while Minstrel focused quite a bit on nation-building, bringing a feel reminiscent of Stephen R. Lawhead in interactions with new civilizations to the north, Vassal is much more of a romance (although not a bodice-ripper), bringing us a more intimate story, while at the same time, widening the reality of Tir Athair.
Vassal focuses on Aislin, a woman trying to navigate a very narrow path of making her own decisions in a world where women are rarely given that opportunity. She has essentially inherited her father's lands, but holds onto them in large part because of two men – Sully, an old family friend with enough influence and money to provide assistance, wanted or not, and Warrick, the Earl to whom she is a vassal, who wants nothing more than to bed her and make her the next in a long series of wives, and who lets her hold on to her lands as a means of controlling her.
Into Aislin's life comes Darrion, ostensibly hired by Sully to help her with manual labor, but who harbors secrets about himself, Sully, and the true nature of the refugees that the King is so determined to wipe out. To protect her from Warrick's advances, Darrion and Aislin wed, although it's a loveless sham of a marriage (or is it?). Herein lies the "romance" part of the book, and Ames does a nice job of drawing out the will-they-or-won't-they without overly belaboring the point, slowly drawing us more into larger conflicts than the one between Aislin and Darrion.
Vassal shows that Ames has range as a writer, in addition to skill. She brings verisimilitude to the stories of life on a farm, drawing from her own experience, without making the book a how-to manual. The struggles of a woman in a very male-dominated world is a strongly feminist tale, without pounding the reader over the head.
On the negative side, there were some parts of the storyline near the end that lost me a bit (I wasn't quite sure how one of the characters got out of some challenging situations they found themselves in), and that part of the book could have used a little more room to breathe, in my opinion, but overall, Vassal was a quite entertaining read. Because of the time jump from Minstrel, if you get a copy of this, you won't be lost if you want to just leap in and read, but the world is richer if you know more of the whole story.
Vassal is now available at Amazon.

IDTSFor Enumerator. Validate(Connections, VariableDispenser, IDTSInfoEvents, IDTSLogging) Each
Enumerator. Validate(Connections, VariableDispenser, IDTSInfoEvents, IDTSLogging)
Allows the ForEachEnumerator to determine if it contains invalid settings that will prevent it from executing successfully.
Microsoft::SqlServer::Dts::Runtime::DTSExecResult Validate(Microsoft::SqlServer::Dts::Runtime::Connections ^ connections, Microsoft::SqlServer::Dts::Runtime::VariableDispenser ^ variableDispenser, Microsoft::SqlServer::Dts::Runtime::IDTSInfoEvents ^ infoEvents, Microsoft::SqlServer::Dts::Runtime::IDTSLogging ^ log);

- connections
- Connections Connections
A collection of connections used by the ForEachEnumerator.
- variableDispenser
- VariableDispenser VariableDispenser
A VariableDispenser object for locking variables.
- infoEvents
- IDTSInfoEvents IDTSInfoEvents
An object that implements the IDTSInfoEvents interface.
An object that implements the IDTSLogging interface.
A value from the DTSExecResult enumeration.
The following code example shows how to validate objects using the
Validate method of the Package object.
DTSExecResult myresult = pkg.Validate(myPkgConnections, myPkgVariables, myIDTSEvents, myIDTSLogging);
Dim myresult As DTSExecResult = pkg.Validate(myPkgConnections,myPkgVariables,myIDTSEvents, myIDTSLogging)
Validate method reviews properties and settings for inaccuracies or incorrect settings. The method does not touch data, or connect to data sources to validate connections. However, it ensures that required fields are populated and contain appropriate values. The fields that are validated differ depending on what object is being validated.
The primary use of
Validate is when writing a custom task. The
Validate method is called by the SSIS Designer when a task is dropped onto the design surface and again, potentially multiple times, when properties are being set. However, in code, the
Validate method on individual objects is not commonly used, as it is recommended that you call the
Validate method on the Package when you need to validate objects. However, the method is available on individual objects should you find a unique circumstance where it is needed.
Validate method is overridden in custom tasks, either for validation of the object when used in the SSIS Designer, or when called by code. For more information on writing the
Validate method for a custom task, see Coding a Custom Task.

Basement Windows
Windows are one of the most important elements in any basement.
Basement windows are your lower level windows. This simply means that they are more frequently exposed to moisture. Calgary gets rainfalls during spring and fall and snowfalls over the winter. Over time, this can rot out wood framed windows and rust steel windows. If you currently have leaks or drafts in your windows, it is time to consider purchasing vinyl basement windows in order to have a dry, clean, bright and pleasant basement. It will prove to be a great investment in your home and will pay off in many ways over time.
Your new vinyl basement windows keep pests from entering your house. The airtight window and screen will keep insects out of your basement, and ensure that bugs or termites don't nestle in the window frames.
Today's Vinyl Basement Windows are stylish, practical and come in a variety of designs and colors. You can choose from double- or single-sliders, picture or awning windows.

Scott G2 110 Powerfit (2015)
Rating: / 5
Price: $700.00
Year: 2015
Level: 3
Gender: Male
The G2 is a newly revised, old-school performance boot. Features? Well, it has four buckles and a power strap. But testers said it generated plenty of edge power and elicited immediate responses from the ski. The flex is a firm 110 but evenly distributed along the shin with a springy quality that invites dynamic fall-line skiing. It's extra snug, making it a good choice for skinny feet. Gleason: "Snappy, consistent feel."

[audio mp3="https://pointofgracechurch.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/why-give-week-5-day-29-the-joy-of-giving-comes-from-being-like-god.mp3"][/audio]
Paul's second letter to the Corinthians talks about the poorest of the New Testament churches being selected by God for a special treasure, the treasure of being able to give. That reminded me of an experience that Gary and I shared a few years ago. We have been volunteering for six or seven years now with the Texas Ramp project – a non-profit organization that provides wheelchair ramps for people who have the need but no means to provide it for themselves. A few years ago, we had the privilege of building a very large, two story ramp for a family that lived in the country southeast of Austin. The home was an old mobile home which sat on top of a hill. The family had very, very little in the way of material wealth but we later found out that they were incredibly rich in love and generosity.
We demolished a couple of sets of rickety stairs and began the build – the largest we have ever done while working alongside one of the largest groups of volunteers that we have ever built with. It was hard work and we spent many hours in the sun and wind. As we were finishing up late that afternoon, the little girl that needed the ramp came outside with her mother. I don't remember their names – it has been too many years. But I certainly remember their story. The little girl was born healthy and perfect. While she was a tiny infant, a frustrated adult picked her up and shook her over and over. This precious little infant went from perfect health to being a little girl who would grow up unable to walk, unable to speak, and unable to take care of herself. She was placed in foster care and given to a woman who fell in love with her just as she was. A woman who loved this little girl so much that she adopted her. A woman who had cared for her for nine years, meeting all of her physical and emotional needs with tenderness, compassion and love. A woman who needed the ramp because even though she carefully monitored her little girls diet and ensured that she remained at a healthy weight for her small stature was finding it increasingly difficult to carry her from the mobile home at the top of the hill to the long winding driveway where the school bus could pick her up each day.
This loving, compassionate lady is a Riverbed! She poured out love onto a little girl that will never really be able to reciprocate her love, a little girl that will remain in a body that will never heal and a little girl that will always require daily care giving for the most basic needs. Gary and I helped give her family a ramp that day but we received so much more than we gave. It was pure JOY to give back to this woman who humbled us by her example. Our simple gift of being able to help build her ramp was so small in comparison to her unselfish gift of love and sacrifice.
Father, thank you for the incredible treasure of being able to give to others. Help us to seek YOUR leading to those that we can bless through OUR giving. Thank you for leading us to those who inspire us with THEIR giving.

There has been some time now with this enamel pin trend. And, truth be told, it is here to stay. Enamel pins are the perfect piece of jewelry that your outfit was looking for. Besides, they are cheap and easy to make. What else can you ask for?
From individual to large companies, everybody wants to have a piece of it. Successful business opportunities are open to the world thanks to the versatility of these pins. They are becoming an extension of people's personalities and therefore super easy to offer and sale.
How to make them and sell them
- Find a niche you like
You have to determine if that niche is sustainable and active for your product. Is the audience you are targeting interested in this kind of item?
The audience of your enamel pins is very important. They will determine many f the characteristics of the final product. So, try to match your desires with the ones of the people. This way, you will find yourself doing something you love for some people that appreciate it. Remember that each niche has a set of particular interests. Be sure to study them first.
- Create your pin design
After you discover the niche, you need to offer your products. You already knew that you wanted to work with enamel pins. But, what kind of enamel pins is this niche interested in? Once you solve that, you can start designing. There are certain guidelines that you should follow to create great designs and have amazing enamel pins ready for your audience. You can also design an awesome design an awesome pin backing card that goes with the enamel pin and gives a unique touch to it.
Avoid using small letters in your pins, and they will end up blurry. The same happens with fine details. Enamel pins have solid and thick lines, and your image should adapt to it. It is also good to test the color palette you want to use and give clear instructions about it to your manufacturer. The more colors you want to use, the higher the price of your pin. So, if you want to keep it low budget, try to use a reduced palette.
The size of the pin also matters. Big pins are heavier than smaller. This can affect the way they look according to the garment they are set into. If they are meant to be used as jewelry, it is better to stay with smaller options that will have a decent weight.
- Materials
Once your designs are ready, it is time to take it to the manufacturer. They can have a solid range of options at your disposal. The most popular options are soft enamel pins and hard enamel pins. They both have advantages and disadvantages and can suit different purposes. Soft pins are great to start with, and they have vibrant colors and textures. The disadvantage here would be that since they are soft, they don't last very long. On the other hand, hard enamel pins are durable and rugged, but they don't have such vivid colors as the others. They are also completely flat, with no texture. So, the material you choose depends on the kind of enamel pin you want to have as a final product. According to the design you have, and the audience selected you might need to use one material or the other.
- Join social media and do some marketing research
Your product is ready, and you need to hit the market. When you studied your audience, you also had to study how to approach them. According to their age, they are more prone to use one social media than the other. This is something you need to handle. If marketing is not your thing, look for an expert. You can have somebody else do the job, help you or teach you about it.
The market is full of options, so you need to stand out and be ready to look attractive. Remember to point out how you are different from others. That something extra that nobody else is giving is going to be your selling point!

UPSET OR RESET? 33rd Sunday (Year C) | November 13, 2016 (English)
Last week, we alluded to the importance and necessity of having perspective. To have perspective is to have a frame on which to set a picture, a ground on which to locate a seemingly smaller reality. To have perspective is to be endowed with a point of view, to see the bigger picture, as it were, and not to miss the bigger forest for just a few trees.
The seven brothers and their heroic mother of last week's first reading, definitely had perspective. That perspective of faith in the resurrection was what gave them the courage, the strength, and the endurance to withstand a painful and cruel – grisly – death. On that score, the Sadducees, disbelieving as they were, of the resurrection, lacked the necessary perspective to see beyond earthly existence. Their ridiculous – if, impossible – scenario in the impertinent question posed to the Lord, betrayed their utter lack of perspective.
This Sunday, we get to understand the concept a little more – and with a lot more graphic and concrete details to boot! That perspective takes the form of what Malachi and the apocalyptic writers call "the day of the Lord." In a language that sounds as gruesome as the language of the seven brothers' account of their martyrdom, the day of the Lord is presented like fire that razes "all evildoers" [who] will be set on fire, "leaving them neither root nor branch." But Malachi makes sure that the bigger picture behind the grisly images is proclaimed: "for [those] who fear [God's] name, there will arise the sun of justice with its healing rays."
Although Marshall McLuhan quipped long ago that "the medium is the message," in the case of today's first reading from Malachi, the picturesque images used ought not to be mistaken for the message. The snapshot ought to be distinguished from the frame on which it is set. The frighteningly concrete images of fire and destruction ought not to obscure the bigger truth conveyed by the passage that "the Lord comes to rule the earth with justice" (Responsorial Psalm).
That big picture is summed up by the phrase "day of the Lord."
The truth is couched in metaphor, in concrete images that sound frightening to modern ears. But the frame on which such images are set, the ground on which those metaphors are based, have to do with the certain truth that God is coming with both majesty and power to set everything aright, to reward the good, and to punish evildoers. And the only way this can be done is to "raze everything to the ground" and start anew on a clean slate. This basically means to transform the world as we know it, to renew all, and restore everything to its original state of utter blessedness.
In computer terminology, I would like to use the world "reset." Perhaps a close analogy to explain this truth is the concept of "burning" rewritable DVDs or CDs. To renew the contents of a re-writable DVD or CD, ironically, even computer parlance calls it "burning." One cannot put in new stuff to the disk unless one burns it, unless one very literally razes its contents and restores it to its pristine state. Only then can one hope to put in new data. For it to be renewed, it needs to be overhauled by passing through "Nero's" hands, so to speak.
Sometimes, to continue on with my computer analogy, when one "resets," one's computer, one loses data. When one empties one's "cache," one loses even those data one doesn't want to lose. One very literally starts out again, on a clean slate. One gets transformed. One gets cleansed of old "files" that encumber one's CPU and slows down operations.
The "day of the Lord," pictured thus, offers us a positive perspective. Instead of being razed, one is renewed. Instead of being emptied, one is made whole and rendered receptive to a fresh influx of grace. Instead of being encumbered by old data, and countless "cookies" that weigh the CPU down, one is cleansed and made whole once again. The UPSET that took place because of too many viruses of sin in our lives, is RESET, and the original SETUP is restored.
Our times call for focus. Our times call for perspective. We live dissipated lives, bombarded as we are with the so-called "info-flood." As the gospel of Luke says, there are too many who come and speak like they were the true voice, who talk like they come in Christ's name. Too many "pop ups" clutter the screen of our spiritual lives. Too many "worms" try to (pardon the tautology), worm themselves into the system and destroy us from within. "See that you be not deceived, for many will come in my name …"
It would do us good to see our lives in terms of what we are all too familiar with. Whether or not one is computer literate, one readily understands the concrete image of razing that figuratively refers to renewing, not destroying. In this sense, then, the apocalyptic language that, at first, frightens, really in the end, enlightens. It brings to the light, and to the fore the truth that stands behind our conviction of the resurrection of the dead. It brings into relief the frame on which is set the metaphorical images of fire and stubble that would all be consumed, the earthquakes, famines, and plagues. That frame which constitutes the bigger, more important reality is the second coming of the Lord, the so-called "last things" that constitute the essential tenets of Christian faith that is expressed succinctly thus: "Stand erect and raise your heads because your redemption is at hand" (Lk 21:28)
