As of late I've been considering this whole matter of "a call" particularly to vocational ministry. It appears to me that throughout scripture and Christian history that God would often give a man public ministry and then hide him in obscurity or vise versa. It seems as though God was willing to share his servant with the world and then would draw Him back unto Himself for He only to enjoy. Perhaps this could explain why people like Jeanne Guyon spent sixteen years in a French prison and Watchmen Nee died after he had served the last twenty years in a Chinese prison. Also such was the case with men like the Apostle John who at the end his life became a cast away on the Island of Patmos. I wonder what must have gone through his mind as he was thrown off the ship and left to die. Did he question God as to why this was happening to him? Did he wonder if he would ever preach the gospel again? Did he ask what was to become of his ministry? How could he possibly avoid fear and discouragement? I believe that John's apparent loss was the biggest gain of his entire life. It was there that John, in intimate solitude with his Lord, received a revelation of Christ that was so overwhelming that he fell down as a dead man. God called a man unto Himself and two thousand years later the whole world continues to read the record of one man alone with his God, that impacted all of Christianity.
This brings to mind the subject of God calling a man or woman "into the ministry". When I was nineteen years old I surrendered my life to God for the purpose of preaching the gospel. To this day, I do not doubt that God indeed was leading me in this direction. I am now sixty one years old and have been preaching for all these years; for the most part vocationally but for the last thirteen bi-vocational. In recent days, God has granted me a revelation that has revolutionized my whole way of thinking about ministry. I'm convinced that God never called me into the ministry but unto Himself. Most of us who have grown up in evangelical churches have heard many appeals to the churches congregate to consider a call to the ministry. As a result seminaries and Bible colleges have flourished with men and women preparing to be a pastor, missionary, music or youth director, or other vocational ministries. It is no doubt that many who have walked this path have been mightily used of God. This emphasis on being called into the ministry, unfortunately has also had some adverse affects on the body of Christ. Rather than point out the faults of others, allow me to share with you some of the impact it had on my own life.
After being ordained, by the church of which I was a member, the spirit of pride wasted no time in capturing my heart. I no longer viewed myself as just an ordinary church member but now I was a bonafide USDA grade A reverend. I loved it when people would call me reverend or pastor or some other title that pertained to the clergy. This spirit of spiritual superiority fed my ego but never quite satisfied it. The belief that I was the pastor and the people were there to support me (especially financially) manifested itself to the point of borderline spiritual abuse. The more external successes that could be bragged about, the more acceptance I felt from man and God. Now please understand that I found my identity in ministry. Take away my position and I'm just another nobody. Praise God today I know this is a lie from the enemy. My identity is in Christ, has always been in Christ (since conversion) and will always be in Christ. I no longer see myself as a notch above other believers. We are all the same, we are all the same, we are all the same, did I say we are all the same? Yes indeed. Christ is in you and He is in me and that makes us one in Him. No matter the title that we may be tempted to flaunt we are all on the same level in Christ. Another deception I accepted was that because I had given myself to the Lord's work I deserved special privileges. These came in the form of my own special parking place in the church parking lot with a sign that read "reserved for pastor" and my own special chair on the sanctuary platform that made me feel exalted above all others. Because of my high priestly position no one was allowed to question my God given authority. Can you see now that ministry was more about meeting my own need than a pure heart surrendered to the call of God? Well we could continue this with many other pathetic examples but that is not my objective in this writing.
Now let us consider this whole topic of being called "into the ministry" from a Biblical perspective. The first and greatest truth that we must consider is that God did not create man for ministry but for Himself. Even though ministry is a part of the Christian experience it must be viewed as an overflow of the heart not as the fulfillment of an obligation. The source of our ministry will determine the substance of it. When ministry originates and is sustained by man the result will always be artificial. This kind of ministry seems to be very productive but only yields the seeds of carnality harvested by fleshly appetites. When Christ is our source we realize that without Him we can do nothing. As we abide in Him and He abides in us we bring forth much fruit. So you may be asking what does this have to do with a call into the ministry? Simply this, unless we realize that our calling is to an abiding relationship with Christ, then all else we do will be hay, wood and stubble. Again I emphasize that we are not called into the ministry but we are called unto God. I know you may be saying, what about all those men in the Bible who were called into the ministry? Well let's take a look.
To my knowledge there are limited examples in the New Testament where the scripture uses the term "called" as pertaining to a specific ministry. The first we shall look at is Barnabas and Saul (later called Paul). Acts 13:2 says "Now separate to me (or unto me) Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them". Please note three things. The Holy Spirit called them first unto Himself before the call to ministry. Secondly, the work to which they were called could also be interpreted as the work to which they were led. Thirdly this calling was not a call to a ministerial position like that of an Apostle.
The second person that we shall notice is Peter. In the first and second Epistle of Peter he introduces himself as an apostle. Peter was truly called of God as an apostle, for scriptures clearly teach us that Jesus personally chose twelve apostles. However, please note that before Jesus chose the twelve, He first called them unto Himself (Luke 6:13). Before Jesus gave the great commission to the Apostles, He first called them unto Himself for at least three years. It is interesting to note that none of the other ten apostles never referred to their title of Apostle, let alone flaunt it before the other brethren.
The third and last person that we shall consider is the Apostle Paul. The Apostle Paul is the only man in scripture that I know of that spoke of his Apostleship as a calling. Before we continue, please note once again that before Paul launched a lifetime of ministry he was first called unto God. Paul spent three years in the desert of Arabia being tutored by God Himself. I believe that the reason for Paul's frequent mention of his Apostleship was because of his unique ministry unto the Gentiles. Paul's ministry was different from all the other apostles, and therefore needed authentication for the acceptance and confirmation of the other apostles.
Now we ask the question that most have already been thinking about as you have been reading this article. What about pastors, missionaries, evangelist; and teachers? Aren't they called of God into these ministries? I find nowhere in scripture where God has called men and women to these ministries as a position. Did you hear what I just said? Not to a position. These were gifts given to the church for the benefit of the body. They are all gifts to be expressed as we abide in Christ. As we allow Christ to live His life through us ministry will flow naturally, many times without our being aware of it. For this, seminary education or Bible knowledge will not suffice. This must be a natural outworking as we abide in the Vine. What man has deemed as a calling into the ministry is usually a surrender to a position with titles and ministerial perks. I say again, God is calling us unto Himself and out of His life and His life only will come true ministry. Please understand that true ministry cannot function under a controlled environment. It must be free to break forth with all of the energy of the universe if it is to crush the gates of hell. We cannot control the gifts of God anymore than we can control God Himself. Are you beginning to see that ministry is not a job, duty, or position but it is the expression of the life of God. And how can we express His life unless we are called unto Him and abide in Him? If we are called into the ministry then ministry can very easily become an idol; but if we are called unto God then ministry will be His not ours. I humbly appeal to all of my brethren who have made "the ministry" their life to drop the shackles of religious bondage and run from the lie to the one who is the Life. I'm not suggesting that if you are in a vocational ministry that you resign and seek some other means of livelihood; however, I am suggesting that we minister from a life and giftedness perspective. It is important for us to remember that every member of the body of Christ has a ministry and each one's ministry is simply an expression of their call to Christ.
Now let us consider our most high calling. Jesus, "said come unto me and learn of me" (Matt 11:28-29). It is interesting to note that He did not say learn about, me but learn of me or some translations say from me. The callings of God will always take us to Christ. They will never distract us or burden us. When Christ gives a call it will always be first and foremost unto Himself. Every believer has received the callings of God. Consider for just a moment the following:
- We are called to be saints. (1 Cor 1:2)
- We are called according to His purpose. (Rom 8:28-30)
- We are called unto the fellowship of His Son. (1 Cor 1:9)
- We are called into the grace of Christ. (Gal 1:6)
- We are called in hope. (Eph 4:4)
- We are called in one body. (Col 3:15)
Let us be mindful that we are not called "into the ministry", but we are called unto Christ. Rest in Him and ministry will come.

What Does A Pc Programmer Do?
In the event you're launching your programming profession, your resume must be as clear as your code. The truth is, laptop science degrees at the grasp's degree provide a breadth of academic data while permitting college students to gain depth in a specific space. The Diploma in Laptop Programming course at IBAT Faculty Dublin will provide you with the talents you need. Nonetheless, there typically aren't actual laptop programming levels available previous the associate diploma degree.
Laptop science students who earn a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree be taught the basics of pc programming as well as the mathematical and scientific ideas that present the underpinnings. You may be walked by way of the process of modifying, compiling, and operating different laptop packages written in Java.
Trained computer programmers are ideally placed to take advantage of such abilities shortages. We'll clarify all these components in subsequent chapters with examples using completely different programming languages. If you want to be taught pc programming however have no prior expertise, you'll take pleasure in this programming course in Java, some of the widely used laptop languages in the world.
Once I acquired my first job truly as a programmer, I had three weeks to teach myself a programming language in order that I may come into my job and truly contribute. That doesn't mean, nonetheless, that students serious about programming don't have more superior options.
A programming language, in essentially the most fundamental method, is a algorithm or guidelines that's used to put in writing the computer packages. Laptop programming entails making a sequence of instructions (code) with a view to get a computer to perform certain tasks.

text: A spring staple for me this year is a denim skirt. I am so obsessed with the pieces Joe's Jeans are putting out this season. Not only have I purchased two pairs of denim I added this perfect fitting semi-distressed skirt to my wardrobe. The medium rinse is great for transitioning this from a cute daytime outfit to a sexy look at night. I combined this with a classic button down shirt from J.Crew, one of my go to pumps, and a Chanel brooch on the pocket for a cute little add on accessory. ps…one can never have too many white button downs! EVER.

I see my writing as an extension of my activism: Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
Indian-American author Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni talks about her new novel and writing in the current political climate.books Updated: Apr 11, 2017 19:03 IST
Prolific author and professor at University of Houston, Texas (USA), Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni has written acclaimed novels, books for children, and anthologies of poems. Two of her novels, The Mistress of Spices, and Sister of My Heart, were adapted to the big screen, and the former was even short-listed for the prestigious Orange Prize. Her books stand out for their strong women characters, but Divakaruni doesn't just write about women; the author also works with several women's groups to help educate and spread awareness about women's issues. In an interview with HT Café, Divakaruni talks about her new book, Under the Sorrow Tree — a retelling of Ramayana — and her portrayal of Sita.
Your books have strongly scripted women and mothers. From goddesses to cows, the female figure is worshiped excessively. What's the reasoning behind this?
Our society is bound to get stronger when we recognise the value that females in all forms add to our society. The problem arises when the female is worshiped in the abstract (such as in the form of a goddess or as Mother India), and that sets an image that is different from the real women people see around them every day. In some contexts, worship can be dangerous, as it implies that women have to live by a different, higher standard than men. If we can translate "worship" into valuing and respecting the real women around us, providing them with education and safety, and a chance to live and grow the way they want to, India will become that much stronger. My hope is that when people read and discuss strong women characters in literature, this will have a positive impact on their attitudes towards women in everyday life.
Readers love reading about mythology and mythological fiction is steadily on the rise…
I think it's is great. India has such a strong culture of epics and mythology — it is wonderful that readers continue to be interested in it. Mythology is timeless. If new takes on mythology help us learn lessons or consider themes that are important in India today, our lives can only be enriched.
As a feminist writer who lives in the Donald Trump era, how do you reconcile some of the ideas that America has been struggling with lately?
It is indeed a struggle. I will definitely continue writing the stories of women and immigrants — these stories are even more important today in America, as there is an increase in prejudice towards these groups. My hope is that my books can dispel some of these prejudices, which arise out of ignorance.
How difficult is it to write in contemporary global political climate?
It is somewhat more difficult, but it is never easy to be a writer if you are writing about issues and problems that you feel strongly about. My ideas about women's empowerment, the realities of immigrant life or racism in America, or the prevalence of domestic violence in our community, have offended some people in the past. But one has to continue writing about what one believes to be important.
How did you think of retelling the Ramayana in your new book?
I have always been interested in women and women-centered stories. I have already written Palace of Illusions, which focuses on Draupadi as the narrator of the tale. I wish to do the same with Sita, allowing her to describe her experiences, her feelings, and her understanding of what happens in her life and her philosophy of life. The narrator changes the tale. So, I'm hoping that my book will allow people to think about the Ramayana in a different way, and to see Sita as a stronger character than she is traditionally portrayed.
You are on the advisory board for non-profits such as Maitri and Daya. Is your activism integral to your role as a writer?
Yes, doing what I can to help women is very important to me. Seeing women move out of abusive relationships and begin a new life is very satisfying. I see my writing as an extension of my activism, and my activism as an extension of my writing. Each enriches and helps the other.
You were first known as a poet. How different is writing fiction from poetry?
Writing poetry helped me become aware of language, imagery, and how to express thoughts and ideas dramatically through images. It is a skill I have tried to incorporate into my fiction. Fiction is more about character growth and creating a world in which a character lives and moves. I do believe that writing poetry has enriched my fiction. I still write poetry once in a while, but fiction is now my first love.
You wrote about Indian immigrants in the US more than two decades ago. How has life changed for Indian immigrants now?
Life is easier, because people immigrating to the US know more about it before they come here, because of the Internet and because of stronger networks. In some ways, it was harder when I moved here in the 1970s.We did not have such a large community here then, and we had to struggle harder to establish ourselves in a foreign land. On the other hand, the political climate right now has grown uncertain, and hate crimes are on the rise. It is sad and worrisome, and something that we as the Indian American community are trying to battle.
What is your advice to aspiring authors?
Read widely; read like a writer, with a pen in your hand and jot down things that you like and may be able to learn from. Secondly, write regularly. Find a writers' group or a class if you can — being in a community of writers and having their feedback really helps you. Lastly, revise a lot. Revise ruthlessly until the work is as good as you can possibly make it.

Costco stores to start accepting food stamps
Thu., Oct. 29, 2009
PORTLAND – With many families suddenly struggling to feed themselves, the big warehouse clubs known for king-size packages of steak and jumbo boxes of Cheerios are increasingly competing with grocery stores for the 36 million Americans now on food stamps.
Costco Wholesale Corp. said Wednesday that it would start accepting food stamps at its warehouse clubs nationwide after testing them at stores in New York. That is a big about-face for a chain that has catered to the bargain-hunting affluent with its gourmet foods, and a reflection of the fact that food-stamp use has hit new highs.
Costco joins warehouse club competitor BJ's Wholesale Corp., which started taking food stamps last April, and Sam's Club, which began accepting them in the fall of 2008.
"The rules are different today," CEO Jim Sinegal said. "People who were in good shape financially all of the sudden are needing some assistance."
Sinegal said he expects Costco to accept food stamps in at least half its roughly 410 U.S. stores by Thanksgiving, including its 28 locations in Washington state.
It is unknown at this time whether Idaho locations will be among those early stores accepting food stamps, a Costco spokesman said Wednesday.
Up until recently, some wholesale clubs were skeptical poor people would be willing to pay the $50-a-year membership fee or would be interested in buying food in the bulk quantities for which the stores are famous.
But in this economy stores are battling for every dollar and see a big potential market in the growing ranks of food-stamp recipients. From warehouse clubs to supermarkets and mom-and-pop groceries, stores are retraining their cashiers and hanging new signs to welcome such customers.
"Certainly this economy was a wake-up call," Costco chief financial officer Richard Galanti recently told investors. "It is not just very low-end economic strata that are using these."
The rolls of food-stamp recipients have grown by 10 million over the past two years.

Don't be fooled by his glittery appearance, Chaucer the Skull is a force with which to be reckoned! His striking wit is matched only by that of his literary namesake, but (seeing as he's a pretty quiet guy), what speaks the loudest is his ability to stand out in a crowd.
So, why a skull? Well, the lovely ladies of Calliope have a desire to highlight beauty in every corner of their world. And there is something intrinsically (and perhaps inexplicably) beautiful about a symbol of the inevitability of death and the brevity of life. Okay, maybe that's too deep for the description of a glittering sugar skull mascot...Let's be real: We just think skulls are cool.
Stay up-to-date with Chaucer's adventures and exploits by following @calliopepim on Instagram and Twitter, or check out our Facebook and Google+ pages for even more updates!

It's so wonderful to be back...even though I had the best weekend! Flying in to Portland is absolutely gorgeous! The plane flies right past Mount Hood. Incredible, isn't it? (and no I didn't take this picture...got it from Wikipedia.com)
Since I was shooting a wedding of an old friend of mine, I went a little early and spent some time with the bride! Later, we met up with the wedding party for the rehearsal dinner. I knew a bunch of the group and it was great to reconnect!
It was 85 degrees on Saturday and 85 degrees on Monday but Sunday (the day of the wedding) was cold and rainy. How is it possible that I had two cold, rainy weddings in 2 weekends in August? Crazy! I need to bring a change of warm clothes from now on. Anyways, the weather didn't matter because the pictures turned out beautiful. I'll have them up in the next few days. I can't wait to work on them!
Monday was icing on the cake...a couple of bridesmaids and I went downtown Portland, shopped, eat great food, and took pictures! I loved it. Wish you were there!

So What's the Deal with Amazon's Echo Look?
If you haven't already heard, Amazon just launched Echo Look. The goal is for Alexa to act as your fashion assistant. I've had all sorts of questions about the product and what it means both for Poplin and for clients. As a personal stylist in Seattle, the home of Amazon, it's clear I'll have an opinion. So here it is.
First up, what is it exactly? Here's a video to explain.
Echo Look and Current and Future Poplin Clients.
If Alexa is already a big part of your life, you may see the Echo Look as a natural fit. My goal is to ensure that every Poplin client is able to express who she is via her clothing. She should know what is flattering for her figure, have ideas for retailers from which to shop and have an understanding of ways to project what she wants to project, not simply what happens to be on trend. If the Echo Look helps with this mission, I'm all for it.
But wait, is this competition for Poplin?
From my perspective, it isn't. Really, it's a supplement. As an example: Yes, Alexa can take photos of you and help you ensure that you aren't repeating the same outfit each day. Poplin actually helps you create those outfits in the first place. So, both are useful.
Let me break it down. When services like Stitch Fix emerged, I heard similar concerns from very thoughtful individuals. As it turns out, Stitch Fix is a way for a woman to engage with her style and wardrobe. For some women, that's all it takes. For others, services like these are a gateway for them to discover that they'd like a more personal approach that fits their lifestyle and offers highly customizable options. Plus, it's nice to have a local perspective on what works in Seattle offices of varying industries.
Again, if these services make women look and feel better about themselves, empower them to own their personal style and then use that power to try new things, approach the world with confidence and strength- I'm for it.
Anything else?
Yes! Thank YOU. Thanks very much to each of you who have reached out about this and other developments in the fashion industry. I love your emails, your questions, your hot tips. Clothing is my art form. I enjoy expressing who I am through my pieces and teaching others to take the same approach. It should be fun. It should be inspiring. It should be empowering. When the world looks more beautiful, we all benefit. And, hey, let's hear it for Seattle companies like Amazon, Nordstrom and so many others who are reminding the rest of the country how incredible it is to be in Seattle.
Have other thoughts, questions, feelings? Send them along!

Significantly high shipments of large-size TFT LCD panels in July 2018
According to relevant data, in July 2018, the unit and area shipments of large-size thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT LCD) panels hit a new monthly high. According to data provided by IHS Markit, in July 2018, unit shipments of TFT LCD panels increased by 10% year-on-year to 64.30 million units, while area shipments increased by 19% to 17 million square meters.
"The new production facilities from China, such as the 10.5th generation line of BOE and the 8.6th generation line of CEC-Panda of CLP Pong, all started mass production in the first half of this year. Since the second quarter of 2017, the above-mentioned fab production has increased because of their glass investment and production growth rate. Since the second quarter of 2017, the above-mentioned fab production has increased because of their glass investment and production growth rate." Robin Wu, principal analyst at IHS Markit. "Despite the increasing production, panel makers continue to maintain line utilization and try to drive panel shipments by lowering panel prices in the first half of 2018, which is one of the reasons for the growing panel shipments."
Among them, LCD TV panels have become a major factor in the record-breaking of LCD panel shipments of 9 inches or more. According to the display market tracking report provided by IHS Markit, unit shipments of LCD TV panels increased 15% year-on-year to 24.6 million units, and area shipments increased 21% to 13.3 million square meters.
Panel manufacturers suffered from higher TV panel inventory in the first half of 2018 due to increased capacity. Panel prices have been weak for nearly a year, causing panel makers' margins to drop significantly. Wu said: " therefore, before the third season of the industry's more demanding demand, panel makers hope to clear the inventory and will increase the panel price again,this has also led to a rapid growth in TV panel shipments recently, further driving the overall large-size panel shipments to record highs." As panel makers hoped, LCD TV panel prices began to rebound in July 2018.
In July 2018, from the perspective of unit shipments, China's panel maker BOE ranked first in the TFT LCD panel market, with a market share of 24%; followed by LG Display, the market share is 19%. However, in terms of area shipments, South Korea's LG Display continues to lead with a market share of 20%, followed by BOE with a market share of 18%.

Why am I so stoked about Convention!?
Convention isn't just for the essential oil business maven, it is for the oil enthusiast, novice, wellness advocate, and science geek. What I love about convention, is that it really is for everyone. With so much juicy information and research about essential oils, it is THE place to be. Scientists, Inspirational speakers, and not to mention NEW PRODUCTS flooding your mind, body, and soul, is an incredible experience that I am SO grateful to have every year!
One of my favorite parts about Convention, especially for someone that is new to essential oils or new to doTERRA, is the Product Showcase. What IS the Product Showcase? Well, it's a grand room that is filled with multiple stations to experience all of the products that doTERRA has to offer. Use all five of your senses to experience in dōTERRA's line of CPTG Essential Oils and other exciting product lines. You won't want to miss being the first to try the new products that will be launched at this year's convention, the Product Showcase allows you the opportunity to try them all. I also love that they set up different education and experience stations along the outside of the showcase. Here you can experience an Aromatouch hand treatment, taste Slim & Sassy products, learn about supplements, and you can also win special goodies!
We also have the opportunity to purchase a kit of all the newly released products for a discounted price! It is SO awesome being able to take home all of the new goodies before they are released the following month! I am going crazy trying to figure out what will be in the magic box this year... I have a few hunches and I hope that I am right!
OH! And did I tell you who will be performing at the fun Street Party this year? Colbie Callait! How often do you get to stand 100 feet from Colbie Caillat? Make that happen by coming to Convention this year! I am super excited about this as I love her jams and can't wait to rock out with all of my oily friends and oil family!
Another BIG thing for me about Convention is the focus on changing the world, by our Healing Hands Foundation and the Co-Impact Sourcing Initiative we have in place. Seeing the change that we are making and the difference in the world because of doTERRA is mind blowing. I can promise you will cry at some point. You will be moved to tears by the power one drop of essential oil has across the globe.
The Convention experience is incredible and as I said, is really for everyone! I do want to talk about the experience of convention as a business owner as well. My oil business is my career, and I can't tell you enough how life changing Convention has been for my business. Not only do you get even more familiar with the beautiful oils you are already using, but you get an immersive education on them in addition to world class leadership training. In the world of Network Marketing, I'm sure you have heard it said before that you're in business FOR yourself, but not BY yourself. Oh how this is SO true in the doTERRA world. You will go home with so much more than you expected and feel invigorated! Convention is THE place to be if you are serious about taking your oil business to the next level.
When is Convention? doTERRA One 2016 Global Convention will be held in Salt Lake City, Utah on September 14th through the 17th, 2016. My family will be turning our journey to Salt Lake into a Homeschool road trip and stopping at the Grand Canyon, Zion National Park, doTERRA's Campus, and probably a handful of other sweet locations along the way. I can't wait to share our journey with you on Facebook Live :) Are you considering joining us at Convention? You can still register and grab your ticket here!

Style Showcase: Abbey/
Today I am so thrilled to introduce the darling Abbey from Along Abbey Road. Abbey says, "My husband, Matt, my son, Luke, and our puppy live in Encinitas, CA where we like to pretend we are beach bums. Along Abbey Road is a place for me to share my personal style, DIY projects, and adorable, squishy-cheeked photos of the cutest baby alive (Luke). You think I'm biased? Yeah, you are probably right."
Her Outfits- My pink blazer and white pants outfit is my last go around with the white pants since it is entering the fall season. And I don't want to get on Stacy London's bad side for excessively wearing white pants after Labor Day ;)
Outfit 2- My yellow striped and mint pants outfit is what I like to call a good transition outfit from summer to fall. Since I live in Southern California, it's sunny here and not very practical loading on the layers when it is still 80 degrees in the autumn season. The colors are great for fall, but it still adds some summer fun with the hat and bright lips.
Her Go-to Outfit- Since I am a mama, my go to outfit is a printed tee of some sort, colored denim, and flats. Cute, moveable, and spit-up friendly.
Her Favorite Product- I would die without MAC Opulash mascara. It creates beautiful, long lashes that could almost pass for lash extensions. Also, it doesn't flake, which is a big pet peeve. It is a little pricey, but I am telling you it is amazing!
Her Style Inspiration- I Everywhere! Blogs, magazines, people I see on the street, and Sienna Miller. I idolize that woman. Her style is the bomb (I can't believe I just said the bomb, but I am not taking it back). Also, I like to look for style inspiration in the unexpected things, such as a piece of art or grandmas! Call me crazy, but grannies know how to dress and accessorize!

What do real women want in a man? Of course, I am a real woman, says Lucy from London escorts, and looks angrily at the waiter who is just about to serve us. My friend Lucy and I used to work together at London escorts a few years back, before I got married. She is a really pretty girl, and people do wonder if she has had a lot of enhancement surgery, but she hasn't. She has just been blessed in that sort of way. Lucy is now working in the office at the escorts agency as she is trying to fit in her beauty training in her hectic lifestyle as well.
Life is not easy, not even for former London escorts, and the first thing we did was to have a bit of a moan about the men in our lives. i am happily married but with a 13 year old at home, my day is rather packed. I do wish my husband would do more to help on occasion, but after all he does have a full-time job. Cindy wishes here boyfriend would help as well. Even though she is not front line so to speak anymore, she still has a busy day.
I hate it , she says, when I come home from a day at the office at London escorts and the dishes have not been done. All he needs to do is to put them in the dishwasher, but that's seems to be hard work for him.So, what do women want from men, and are London escorts girls more demanding? Most real women would probably appreciate a little bit more help around the home. It would be nice if my husband helped to change the bed, or even take the rubbish out on occasion, but he seems to want to have all of the fun and none of the work.
I am sure that it isn't just London escorts girls who feel this way. Many other women up and down the country must feel exactly the same way as well. Just like Lucy and me, they are probably not looking for a super hero, they look for a bit of help on occasion. I have to admit that before I left London escorts, and got married to my dear beloved, I did not use to think about these things. Now, I think about them all of the time. Yes, it is nice that my husband has a good job, but at times I feel like I am a servant.
This month I have been so busy that I haven't even had the time to go to the hairdresser. I think that many women, including London escorts, would like a man who appreciates that sometimes we need some time to ourselves. Men are quick enough to grab time for themselves but women seem to responsibilities much more seriously. For some reason, my husband's responsibility seem to be to take our daughter down to the rowing club on Saturday morning. Of course, I appreciate that father and daughter time is important, but how about some time for me?

The Generator Maintenance
2. The engine
As I said, I won't talk about the service but I'll just give a tooltip: "Always use lubricants of good quality with the features approved by the manufacturer."
Most of the time, you're dealing with a diesel engine which in several years has probably accumulated few operating hours. Therefore, if you call upon qualified products you won't have problems in maintaining the diesel in good conditions and (but I'll tell it winking) maybe it will not even be necessary to replace it every year since it's also provided in the engines 'guides.
A real professional shall carry the manuals and use them ..
Some are convinced that using the manual is synonymous with poor professionalism because if you use the manual it means you're not qualified and a manual guide should be sought.
Actually, following the instructions of a manual is synonymous with professionalism and it is a guarantee for the customer. The Manuals contain fundamental data on procedures and values useful for clamping.
Mindful that oil and fuel filters replacement are well defined by the manufacturer on a regular basis and it is not necessary for all, substitution could be annual if you use name brand consumable.
Doing so will give you more time to focus on those parts that, in the long boring life of the generating set's stand by engine, have no way to remain in operation and risk to become slow and lazy such us the mechanical linkage of the injection pump, the tappets, the belt tightener, the alternator and the starter motor …
Check the clamps tightening and monitor the connectors status along the electrical wiring on-board the engine (more and more present within the new generation of engines)

Olam invests N30bn on integrated farms in Kaduna
Olam International, a leading agribusiness operating across the value chain in 70 countries, says it is setting up Nigeria's largest integrated animal feed mills, breeding farms and hatchery with an investment of $150m (N30bn).
The ground-breaking programme was attended by Governor Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State; and the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief Audu Ogbeh, who represented President Muhammadu Buhari, a statement by the company said.
The Chief Executive Officer, Olam Africa, Mr. Venkataramani Srivathsan, was quoted as saying, "This is the latest investment by Olam in Nigeria's domestic food and agricultural production sector after our recent investments in wheat milling assets and the ongoing development of our 10,000-hectare rice farm and mill in Nasarawa State."
"This new venture into animal feed is a win-win for Olam and Nigeria. Domestically produced meat is being hampered by a lack of good quality feed, support for farmers and availability of young stock, but consumption is set to increase."
He added, "Our investment in the hatchery will help boost poultry production and, in the long run, help reduce the country's reliance on imports. This development underlines the continued confidence we share in Nigeria's ambition for self-sufficiency."
Of the $150m investment, about $100m (N20bn) has been committed to building and operating the facilities in Kaduna, while $50m (N10bn) is for a second investment in an integrated poultry and fish feed mill located in Kwara State.
The statement by the Head, Corporate and Government Relations, Olam Nigeria, Mr. Ade Adefeko, said, "At full capacity, both feed mills are expected to produce in excess of 600,000 tonnes per annum of high-quality poultry and fish feed, with the Kaduna facility supplying mainly to the northern markets and the Kwara facility to the South-West region.
"The poultry breeding farm in Kaduna is expected to produce over one million hatching eggs every week for the hatchery."

The Pomo Indians of California have long been recognized as among the finest weavers in the world. They wove baskets using many different techniques, including several different methods of twining and several methods of coiling.
This basket is an example of single-rod coiling. It is a small gift basket that has survived in excellent condition.
The Pomos continue their weaving tradition today.


text: I'm about to head to work, so I thought I'd do a quick entry before I leave. As much as I love BEDA, I don't want to spam the place with nothing but novel-length rambles, especially since I've re-branded my LiveJournal lately to be more an 'art' blog than daily diary. So, here's some sketches for a couple of commissions I've taken. Both have been 'okay'ed, so I'll get on with colouring them asap. I've had a steady stream of commissions lately, which is absolutely fantastic. I really hope I can keep it up, because having a little bit of money coming in is really, really handy. My part time job at the cafe offers very few hours in the winter months, so I've been struggling a lot lately.


text: SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- The dollar remained in recent ranges Wednesday, as an upbeat U.S. private-sector jobs report and downbeat gross domestic product data turned the outcome of the ongoing Federal Reserve policy meeting into even more of a cliffhanger. Most investors expect the central bank to announce later that it is cutting its benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points. The dollar index, which tracks the performance of the greenback against six other major currencies, was at 75.569, compared with 75.555 in late U.S. trading Tuesday. The euro was at $1.4775, compared with $1.4773, and the pound was buying $1.9871, compared with $1.9895. The dollar was at 107.39 yen, up from 107.01 yen late Tuesday.

For Kristle and Molinda
I couldn't sleep last night, thinking about a post a mother left on my Facebook wall. This is what it said:
"Infamous Mothers…I am a brown woman, a mother and I am so angry I can hardly manage. Brown folk are being murdered in the street. Killed by police that are trained only to kill. Murdered by those who continually hide behind the guise of 'keeping the peace,' when they themselves terrorize our brown sons and daughters. I am angry and tired and you know how it is when Mama is angry and tired. My spirit is screaming for justice…and I don't mean just us shot in the street. I mean, justice. Hold the police accountable because people are dead…and more will die. STOP POLICE BRUTALITY!!! Thank you infamous mothers for indulging this mother. I'm sick and tired…I'm grieved, I'm vexed…I'm, I'm, I'm…"
The deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile came right in the middle of our Kickstarter campaign. Although I knew this woman was venting and expressing her frustration, I needed to read her words as a call to action. In light of these deaths, my focus shifted. I suspended campaigning for the moment because it was not only unethical to continue but necessary to pause and listen.
HERE IS WHAT I HEARD... Black mothers are hurting. My timeline is flooded with videos of red-eyes and wet faces. Women are uploading images of their chubby-cheeked brown sons. Pictures of boy children are accompanied by the hashtag: #theirlivesmatter. I see photos of serious African American mothers desperately and protectively hugging their little ones. Posts ranging from "I can't keep calm. My sons are black!" to "I'm ready to kill and be killed" are showing up in my newsfeed. Something is about to happen.
"Pictures of boy children are accompanied by the hashtag: #theirlivesmatter."
WE KNOW FROM HISTORY that a fed-up mother is a force. And don't let her be infamous. Think Sojourner Truth, Harriet Jacobs, Ida B. Wells… Think Diane Nash, a civil rights activist and strategist who chose imprisonment over putting up bond. She was tired of a system that unjustly locked up black bodies, a system that then required those same bodies "to pay the bill for this humiliation." So she, along with other protesters, flooded the jails. "I can no longer cooperate with the evil and corrupt court system of this state. Since my child will be a black child, born in Mississippi, whether I am in jail or not he will be born in prison." At four months pregnant she was sentenced to two years, willingly choosing jail time over paying for a fake freedom. She said, "I believe that if I go to jail now it may hasten that day when my child and all children will be free—not only on the day of their birth but for all of their lives." Nash only stayed in prison a short time before she was released, but her stance is still relevant today.
Her words then: "We feel that if we pay these fines we would be contributing to and supporting the injustice and immoral practices that have been performed in the arrest and conviction of the defendants." Our words now: "[Infamous mothers, and all of our allies] feel that if we [fill in the blank] we would be contributing to and supporting the [violence and unjust practices] that have [led to the murder of our children]." Our response to this violence begins with whatever goes in that blank. It begins with us strategically challenging an aspect of the system that contributes to the murder of our children. It begins with us making that challenge our policy and naming it. Nash and her allies called their policy jail-without-bail. What will we call ours?
WE ARE NOT POWERLESS. Mothers are a force, especially infamous ones. We have "stormed Caesar's Palace" and much more. We are the bad girls of mothering. And our children are being slaughtered.
We don't accept that.
Neither should you.

Let's Start the Conversation
In the comments section below, please complete the FolloWING Sentence:
We feel that if we continue to [fill in the blank] we will be contributing to and supporting a system that does violence to our sons, daughters, and families. And that is no longer acceptable!

This past weekend, I went down to New York to visit my brother. I hadn't seen him since our roadtrip in July, and I wanted to see him at least once before the holidays. It was a really good trip, and not just for some of the peripheral benefits — much needed zone-out time on the bus, a change of scenery and some fun meals. It was a good opportunity to get perspective. I chatted with him about The Project, and just talking over the issues I'm having moving forward helped me sort out a possible plan (or two) of attack. We had a few other conversations that were really, really good to have, some more meaningful than others. For instance, I chatted with him a little bit (though, in retrospect, not enough) about writing process. I sometimes forget that we are both writers, albeit in different forms and styles, and it's something I should take advantage more often. Especially when, like lately, I'm at a bit of a fork in the road with my writing. It's in my blood; it's just a matter of keeping the blood flowing.
One of the more interesting moments of the weekend came toward the end of the run we went on Sunday morning. The New York City Marathon heads right down 4th Avenue in Brooklyn, right past where his apartment is. When we set out, the stream of runners had not yet hit 4th Avenue, but as we looped back, we saw that they had arrived. Thousands of marathoners stood between us and my brother's apartment, hot showers and a trip out to breakfast.
I had no idea how we were going to get across the street. But my brother knew exactly what we were going to do: we were going to Frogger our way across.
Here's where the arteries of that shared blood split off: I'm a goody-goody, and he's a rule-breaker. I saw cops posted on every corner and median in sight (heck, his apartment is around the corner from a substation), and I saw no way of stepping into the thick of the NEW YORK CITY MARATHON without getting collared. But for Andrew, it was no bigs. He stood poised on a cop-free corner, while I stood nearby wringing my hands. Before I knew it, he had burst off the sidewalk, keeping pace with the runners while sidling his way across the southbound lane. Upon hitting the median, he did it again, crossing the stream in the northbound lane while maneuvering toward the opposite curb.
Dumbfounded, I had no choice but to follow. I felt much like I did the time we broke into the abandoned Rhode Island School for the Feeble Minded, half-expecting a cop to jump out of the shadows and slap cuffs around my wrists.
But, much as I did in that abandoned school, I soon realized there was nothing to fear. I simply minded how I navigated myself through the crowded field of runners, and before I knew it I was across the avenue, standing next to Andrew. And hey, maybe now I can say I've run in the New York City Marathon (twice — we had to do this a second time to get to breakfast).
If you're careful, my brother has taught me more than once, you can break a rule or two every now and then and it's more than worth it — whether the reward is a hot shower, a good meal, or just the reminder that the world is more flexible than you may think.

What is "The Foundry"?
A better question with which to start would be "What is A foundry?" Simply put, a foundry is a workshop or factory for melting, casting, and forging metal. It is a process in which metal is melted in liquid, refined of any impurities, then poured into a mold where it cools and takes its shape. It is often then pounded out and shaped even further in more of a blacksmithing process.
When we begin to think about those images, we can immediately see some spiritual parallels. Our God is called a consuming fire, and we are told that He shapes and molds His people, making them into what He wants them to be.
Over a year ago, I started a Bible study with some of the men of our church and I called it "The Foundry." Three verses of Scripture had really captured my attention: Psalm 12:6, Isaiah 48:9-11, and Proverbs 27:17.
The Foundry's Biblical Foundation
Psalm 12:6 says, "The words of the LORD are pure words, like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times." God's Word is what molds and shapes us, but it is imperative that we understand that it is pure, perfectly pure itself. The source of our refining is the inspired, inerrant, infallible revelation of God. The impurities and deformities lie within us and must be eradicated with the heat and pressure of Holy Scripture.
The prophet Isaiah, speaking for the Lord, told the people of Israel: "For my name's sake I defer my anger, for the sake of my praise I restrain it for you, that I may not cut you off. Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tried you in the furnace of affliction. For my own sake, for my own sake, I do it, for how should my name be profaned? My glory I will not give to another." (Isaiah 48:9-11) Although the context is dealing with Old Testament Israel, this passage indicates it is God who tests and refines His people and yet does it for His own glory.
Finally, in perhaps the most well known of the three texts, the writer of Proverbs reminds us that "Iron sharpens iron; one man sharpens another." (Prov. 27:17) So as we are refined and shaped by God's Word, for His glory, we are also called to help sharpen and shape one another. God places us in community with one another so that we may help each other become more Christ-like disciples.
The Foundry Blog
In keeping with the spirit of our men's Bible study, I decided to launch a new website and blog where I hope to write on a whole range of biblical, theological, and cultural topics. I'll share good resources, link sermons, and occasionally post videos or interviews. My primary aim is for this to benefit the people I am called to shepherd, and then as the Lord wills, be a blessing to other believers and perhaps even those outside the church. I have blogged in the past, but prayerfully and cautiously desire for "The Foundry" to be a more intentional, consistent, and fruitful effort. I want the entire website to be a place where people can find biblical truth and be encouraged, convicted, challenged, and strengthened by it. I want people to see the God of the Bible in all His glory, and be radically transformed and conformed into His image.
So with that was a way of introduction…Welcome to "The Foundry!"

9 Tips to Travel More Sustainably
Traveling isn't the most environmentally friendly activity. However, for some of us, the desire to travel is irresistible. The good news is: it's easy to minimize our carbon footprints, and make this environmentally unfriendly activity greener and more sustainable. Keep in mind that a lot of these tips can be used outside of travel as well.
9 tips to be a more environmentally focused and green traveler
1. Pick the right destination
Picking the right destination is probably the most difficult, yet most important aspect of beginning an eco-friendly travel journey. Here are some questions to consider and research:
Is there a system in place to support local products and services and empower the local economy?
Seek out local tour guides (they are typically the most knowledgeable as well!). Buy handmade products and produce from street markets instead of supermarkets to support the local economy. Buying local produce will reduce your "food mileage," too!
Is it possible to support socio-cultural preservation?
UNESCO defines culture-tourism as "a discerning type of tourism that takes account of other people's cultures" (UNESCO, 2005). Consider locations that preserve local cultures, communities, and religions rather than destroying them. Here is an interesting academic study done by three German professors that examines this topic more in depth.
Does the country or city have proper environmental impact management standards?
Look for destinations that have proper waste management systems, energy consumption monitoring, water contamination and consumption monitoring, recycling programs, and commit themselves to conserving the natural biodiversity.
A great example of this is Costa Rica. The Costa Rican government set a goal to be carbon neutral by 2021 and dramatically changed their deforestation policies. Adventure tourism and ecotourism generates 50% of Costa Rica's GDP, so by supporting sustainable tourism you can help ensure a decreased economic need for deforestation.
Here's another example: a study published a few years ago proves that shark ecotourism is more economically viable than the shark finning industry. Save sharks by swimming with them, it's that simple!
These are three important questions think about when finding the best place to go on your next trip! For a good list of eco-friendly and green destinations, click here.
2. Pick a sustainable method of travel
If you have to fly to your destination, try to reduce or offset the carbon emissions of your flight. Flying is probably the most unsustainable part of every trip, but there are some ways to reduce your carbon footprint. Try to book direct flights whenever possible. Take-off and landing consume the most fuel, so limiting the number of flights is a good first step to reducing your trip's harm on the environment. You can calculate and offset the emissions of your trip with Carbon Footprint, an online tool that allows you to donate the cost of your CO2 emissions to sustainability projects.
Traveling over land is also a good alternative to flying. A cross-country drive from Boston to San Francisco in a medium-sized, 5-passenger vehicle emits about 850kg of CO2. A one-way flight in a coach seat emits about 980kg of CO2 (a first class ticket more than triples the CO2 emissions to 3,520kg). The difference between flying and driving may seem small, but split those emissions into fifths by road-tripping with 4 friends, and you can make a significant impact.
If you're trying to travel more green, there is no better time to take that long-dreamt about road trip with a few friends. For some inspiration, check out Jubel's guide to an amazing Baja road trip on our travel blog!
3. Pick the right place to stay
Do a little research before you pick where you'll be staying. Understandably, you may want a relaxing vacation where you don't have to camp or stay in ultra-eco-friendly accommodations. But, there are still ways to have a luxurious and relaxing vacation while also being green.
Pick a hotel that is committed to eco-friendly initiatives. Generally, Marriott, Starwood and Wyndham are leaders in the field of chain hotels committed to green-initiatives. Look for hotels that are LEED Certified, or show on their website that they are committed to sustainability, offer local tours, have bikes available for rent, and solar panels, etc. It's difficult to control large hotel chains' carbon emissions, and "green" standards can differ depending on the country or region, so you can make the largest impact!
4. Be a "green" hotel guest
Try to limit your use of air-conditioning and heat! Most hotels will be happy to provide you with a more electricity efficient portable fan or more blankets during your stay.
Wash your clothes yourself. Most hotels do every guest's laundry separately, wasting a lot of water.
Reuse your towels. Most hotels nowadays know that if you hang up your towel you want to reuse it. But, if you find that they are washing your towel everyday, tell them you don't mind using it multiple times.
Avoid using the small bottles of soap hotels give you and bring your own reusable, travel size, TSA approved, BPA free bottles. Treating a hotel room like your own home is always a good rule of thumb.
Take shorter showers, turn off the lights and TV, and don't unreasonably dirty your room; cleaning chemicals can be toxic for the environment, too.
These few, small changes can dramatically alter your environmental impact during hotel stays!
5. Pack light
Do you find yourself trying to bring your entire closet on a trip? If so, try to pack lighter to be more environmentally friendly! The extra weight in the cargo-hold of airplanes dramatically increases fuel consumption.
Extra bags or more weight can also make it more difficult to walk, bike, or take public transportation. If you're looking for some new, eco-friendly luggage, check out LightGear, a company devoted to making sustainable, high quality travel gear.
6. Walk, bike, or use public transportation
Skip the taxis and Ubers! Private transportation uses more gas, and likely costs more than taking the metro, walking or biking. Most major cities now have bike sharing systems that are either free or cost just a few dollars. You can also see so much more of a city by traveling on foot or by bike, making your trip more rewarding and memorable.
7. Avoid non-biodegradable plastics whenever possible
This is probably the most difficult. Plastics are everywhere, and they are polluting the world's oceans and landfills. There is an estimated 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic in The Great Pacific Garbage Patch alone, a mass of ocean plastics accumulating between California and the Hawaiian Islands about twice the size of Texas. This is only one of five masses of plastic floating in the world's oceans that is killing marine life and altering the trajectory of ocean ecology. For more information about ocean plastics and a cleanup project click here. Now, you may be asking, what can you do to help? Here are some things you can do:
Avoid plastic bottled water. This is difficult when traveling to places without clean water, but here is a water bottle that claims to filter out 99.99% of all contaminants and chemicals. It is $50, but will save you a lot of money in the long run!
Avoid plastic bags and bring your own reusable ones. Here's a list of some of the best in 2018.
Avoid plastic utensils and use biodegradable or reusable ones instead.
Replace your straws and toothbrushes with these biodegradable, natural, bamboo alternatives.
This is also a good rule to follow outside of traveling. Reducing your use of plastics in daily life by following these tips will make a positive environmental impact. Some organizations and individuals are joining the challenge to 'Choose to Refuse' single use plastics with a non-profit called Plastic Free July. Check out their page to learn more about how you can get involved.
8. Choose sustainable tours
This is as simple as picking one tour company over another. Do your best to find tours that are committed to preserving the environment as much as they are committed to showing it to you. It's also best to choose tours with fewer people to lessen your ecological impact.
Opting for local tour operators that know about the natural habitats can aid in preservation efforts, and lessen ecological disruption. Even better, help the environment by doing a dive trip to hunt lionfish, an invasive species in the Gulf that is threatening native fish species and coral. Or, find a company like Ilha Blue in Mozambique which is committed to responsible whale watching. Ecotourism has become a massive world-wide movement and there are tours everywhere that commit themselves to green travel and supporting the ecological systems they explore.
9. Volunteering (Voluntouring)
"Voluntourism" is a growing market for travel companies. It's important to consider different programs and regions of the world, to ensure that what you'll be doing makes a real impact. For some more valuable information, check out Projects Abroad's Voluntourism page.
Not only can you travel more eco-friendly and guilt free, but often times, these tips will save you money. By traveling with no checked bags, you'll avoid those expensive airline bag-checking fees. Traveling in coach will have less of a negative environmental impact than that expensive business-class seat. Walking, biking, and taking public transportation is much cheaper than renting a car, or using taxis and rideshares. Buying from local merchants and street vendors will save you money not to mention the meaningful value of a handmade souvenir. Avoid those expensive shopping malls. These small changes will dramatically alter your impact on the environment, and your wallet, allowing you to travel the beautiful world we live in without harming it in your wake.
