How should you respond to emotionally charged, highly personal posts on social media?
What is an acceptable reaction?
Is a heart emoji enough to convey your deep concern?
Although I'm neither Emily Post (the etiquette lady) nor Ann Landers (the advice columnist), different people have asked me to address the best way to handle those sad or upsetting public announcements. Yes, as Write Lady, I constantly evaluate the question of what to say and what not to say based on the purpose and potential impact of words and silences; however, I still find myself wondering what I should do in those delicate, personal situations.
Should I respond.
If so, how?
Should I reply publically, privately or both?
What should I say?
Each circumstance requires a unique and thoughtful approach. If I were to ask ten wise individuals to give an opinion, I'd potentially receive ten different answers based on ten, one-of-a-kind interpretations of the matter.
Ultimately, the decision is yours to make, but the following steps may help you find the right words and best way to convey a comforting message:
1. List the indisputable facts.
- What you know about the news source
- Your relationship to the news source
- Your connection to the individual(s) impacted
- The broader audience and your connection to them
- The nature of the news
- The medium in which it's presented
2. Identify elements that influence your intentions.
- Your genuine reaction (sadness, no emotion, etc.) to the news
- Any desire to alleviate the pain of those affected
- Any motivation to lecture or take a stand versus console
- Reasons to share your thoughts or some message related to the news with others via the platform
- Any objective reason or personal desire to connect more privately
- Any objective reason or personal desire to respond with other actions
- Any objective reason or personal desire to remain silent
3. Avoid assumptions that give you excuses not to respond.
- The person sharing the news must have ulterior motives, such as to gain unwarranted sympathy by affiliation.
- The individual posting the news wouldn't know you well enough to hear from you.
- The person wouldn't expect or want you to respond (for various reasons).
- The person probably posted the news only to avoid contacting everyone separately and would rather not have to engage with each one of you individually.
- Your message would simply get lost among countless others.
- Posting an unoriginal or impersonal message would seem more insincere than posting nothing.
- Nothing you'd say would make a difference.
Someone you know as a fellow member of your local business community posts on LinkedIn that his sister, a partner in his family's law firm, has died. He tells a personal story about her longtime battle with drug addiction. Despite receiving treatment that indicated a positive turnaround with her pursuing a healthy lifestyle, she'd died from medical complications related to prior years of drug abuse. Your acquaintance says his sister had been volunteering as a mentor through the organization that had most benefitted her. Endorsing the treatment program, he encourages people who battle addiction to seek help and suggests a donation to the organization in his sister's memory. You never met his sister.
Possible Responses
- You like the post to acknowledge his loss. You further comment that you're deeply sorry and admire his openness, which could inspire others to seek assistance. You say that his sister must have been a deeply caring individual to commit to helping others.
- You like the post to acknowledge his loss.
- Liking the post feels odd, so you comment that you're deeply sorry.
- Liking the post feels odd and adding a "deeply sorry" comment among many others seems artificial, so you send a personal message via LinkedIn.
- Rather than express your condolences via social media, you send him a personal note via email.
- You send a sympathy card or handwritten note in the mail.
- You express condolences when you see him in person.
- You contribute to the organization mentioned in memory of his sister, and the acknowledgement he receives of your gift includes a personal note from you.
- You contribute to the organization that he mentioned in memory of his sister. He'll receive a notification that you contributed.
- You send him a personal note but contribute to the organization anonymously.
- You donate to a different organization in her memory.
While some would recognize only one acceptable response, others would find some merit in each individually and in varying combinations. Just as people express sorrow or pain differently, as many would never share their personal troubles online, individuals respond to such information based upon complex factors—i.e., immediate emotional reactions, cultural mores, religious beliefs, professional insights, their own experiences, and more.
Importantly, many post news with expectations of how their direct and indirect contacts will respond. Individuals, however, can be unpredictable. Likewise, their comments may be especially difficult to receive in a public or semiprivate forum. Therefore, those who have significant concerns over how people may react via a social platform should carefully consider their options and possibly choose a different manner of informing people who need to know.
By the way, if I ever shared sad news, a heart emoji in response would not only be just fine with me, but it would also touch my heart!
My best to you,

5th Association Council meeting between the EU and Ukraine took place in Brussels
The Association Council reviewed the state of EU-Ukraine bilateral relations and took stock of progress in the implementation of the EU-Ukraine association agreement.
"Our meeting took place against the background of an escalation around the Kerch Straight. The EU has been united and firm in saying that there is no justification for the use of military force by Russia. We will not recognise the illegal annexation of Crimea and Sebastopol by Russia and we have condemned the ongoing militarisation of the Crimean peninsula. The EU continues to be at the side of the Ukrainian people and will continue to do so."
Federica Mogherini, High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy
After the Council, a press statement was issued:
The Council examined the reform process in Ukraine, as part of the political dialogue and cooperation. It discussed measures to fight corruption as well reform of the judiciary.
The Association Council addressed the economic situation and EU cooperation with Ukraine. It also discussed bilateral trade and the implementation of the deep and comprehensive free trade agreement (DCFTA).

Daniel w Fletcher AW18
Photography by Nicholas Andrews
Daniel Fletcher was a name on many lips at fashion week. The designer has gained fans for his wearable and still fashion garments, unique design touches and that rare skill of producing a collection from which we would want to wear every piece.
Following success last season, Fletcher built on that for AW18. Whilst the presentation space was a tightly packed nightmare, the clothes were pretty faultless. Trousers were cut slim, with the jogger pieces sporting a slight fare. The shirts were a standout - asymmetrical drawstring waists for the toned lad that isn't nervous about flashing a bit of flesh. Outerwear also deserves a special mention for the slightly exaggerated proportions that made them stand apart from many other coats seen on the catwalk.
Fletcher is clearly a designer for this generation of boys - there is a sense of practicality about the clothes but there remains a flare for fashion. If you want to get your hands on a tummy flash shirt you'll have to move fast, as predict that they'll be a sellout.

Richard D. Williams, who passed away in Utica on the 28th of April, 1894, at the age of fifty six, was successfully
engaged in the tailoring business here for many years and gained a reputation as one of the best cutters and designers
of clothing in the country. His birth occurred at Llanllyfni Narvon, North Wales, in 1838. He learned the tailor's
trade as a youth and subsequently worked at that occupation in Liverpool for several years. In 1857 he crossed
the Atlantic to the United States, locating in Utica, New York, where he continued to reside throughout the remainder
of his life. He first secured employment with Ziba Lyon, who was later succeeded by Griffith Williams, and he remained
in that employ for a period of fourteen years. Later he became associated with T. Solomon Griffith, being the senior
member of the firm of Williams & Griffith for a number of years. In 1882 he formed a partnership with John
S. Davies and during the remainder of his life conducted business as a member of the firm of Davies & Williams.
He won a gratifying measure of prosperity as a tailor, enjoying a reputation as one of the best cutters and designers
of clothing in the country.
In 1870 Mr. Williams was united in marriage to Miss Anna Hughes, of Westmoreland, Oneida county, New York, her
parents being David and Ann (Williams) Hughes. They came to this country from Wales in 1845, when their daughter
Anna was but a year old, David Hughes locating in the town of Marcy, New York, and devoting his attention to general
agricultural pursuits. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Williams were born five children, namely: Nellie Anna, Eva E., Milton,
Jesse J. and Lilian A All with the exception of the eldest still survive.
Richard D. Williams was well known and popular throughout Utica and belonged to many Welsh societies. He attended
the Moriah church. On several occasions he traveled abroad, making his last trip in 1891. His widow and his son
Jesse are now engaged in business as florists of Utica, enjoying a very extensive and profitable patronage. Mrs.
Williams has spent practically her entire life in Oneida county and has been a resident of Utica for nearly forty
five years. She has long been active in the business life of the city, having for seventeen years engaged in the
millinery business, and for the past nineteen years as a florist. Her acquaintance in Utica is extensive and she
has many friends within its borders.

Uncovering Truths and Myths of Male Anatomy
Could it be that the development of the scrotum was responsible for making mammals so competitive and prominent in the animal kingdom? Surely, some people would like to believe that. But according to Dr. Ted Hsu, assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Stanford University, it is possibly one of the reasons why with 99 percent of all species that ever lived extinct, mammal reproductive system is the way it is now.
That is except for platypus and echidna, relict species that offer a glimpse at an earlier stage of mammalian evolution. These animals lack scrotum or milk glands, unlike therian mammals - placentials and marsupials. Latest research shows that at a certain point all mammals lacked those features until a genetic mutation introduced a function-specific peptide responsible for scrotum formation that proved to be highly successful. "There was only one individual who had this mutation," Hsu said, and it made the propagation so efficient that the species was able to outcompete everyone.
Hsu, whom Thomas Chen, Santa Monica College life sciences professor called "world's most famous scrotumologist," gave a lecture called "Got Scrotum? Ask the Platypus" at SMC on Tuesday, as part of the distinguished scientists lecture series. In the lecture he focused on the molecular process of evolution, one that he said is "difficult to understand" because "we cannot touch it, or see it."
Specifically, Hsu's research focuses on the evolution of the features of the reproductive system. The two main questions are "what's the importance of these features," and how did it evolve? "We have no clue," Hsu responded to the second question. The reason for the development of a scrotum in mammals is now well-known: as body temperature of mammals increased with evolution there was a need to keep the testes outside the body, where cooler temperature would allow for better sperm production. Platypus retained their lower body, so the testes in males are located inside the body, close to the kidneys.
Recent developments in genetics, particularly the mapping of the complete genomes of many species, had allowed some insight into molecular evolution. Through syntax mapping researchers were able to look through the genome to trace the evolution of a gene. In this case the gene in question is INSL3, which produces a hormone found in gonads that proved to be responsible for "testicular descent." The deficiency of the hormone can cause cryptorchidism in males, a condition where testes remain inside the body and which requires surgical intervention in humans. INSL3, along with a few other human genes that affect the reproductive system, had evolved from a single ancestral gene, which can be traced back to amphibians. Thus, INSL3 is not unique to mammals, but it functions differently, researches have found, by synthesizing gene sequences. "We have a piece of our puzzle now," Hue said.
Much about the evolution of mammalian reproductive system is still unknown, Hsu maintains. For instance, sea mammals, which fall into neither the therian, not the platypus group, have never been studied comprehensively. They represent "secondary evolution," meaning that their ancestors evolved as terrestrial mammals, and when they returned to the sea their reproductive systems again evolved for the new conditions. Interestingly, elephants also lack scrotums, because they are most closely related to the aquatic mammals. Now there's a piece of trivia to impress your friends.

|TAIPEI, TAIWAN, May 10, 2011 - Surveon, the complete megapixel solutions provider, today announced that it will showcase the first megapixel NVR with built-in hardware RAID controller at IFSEC 2011, to be held in Birmingham, UK from May 16-19, 2011.
Megapixel cameras have become a key trend in the security industry. The high bit rates and large required storage capacities accompanying this trend are posing challenges to the performance and stability of back-end NVR solutions. Regular PC-based solutions are not able to meet the performance demand of professional, multi-channel megapixel surveillance. Turning to COTS solutions, meanwhile, carries with it a certain degree of risk in terms of compatibility and long-term stability.
|Surveon's NVR2000 offers an ideal solution to meet the requirements of environments employing megapixel cameras. The NVR2000 is the only solution available on the market today that offers built-in enterprise-class RAID controllers, enabling the system to deliver Read/Write performance 10X better compared to traditional PC solutions. The NVR2000 is thereby able to help security integrators truly solve stability issues caused by high bandwidth in megapixel environments. With storage capacity up to 160TB and an integrated auto configuration design, the NVR2000 significantly reduces integration complexity, which traditionally was a major problem area for security integrators.

Welcome to Camera and Canvas! I paint realistic, representational oil paintings on canvas & am an avid nature photographer.
I entered into the world of art years ago primarily out of the love of drawing. I drew all the time - from life and my imagination - and I was good at it. But in 2002 after an invitation to help create the artist co-operative Beaux-Arts Brampton, I entered the art world full time with the ambition to be a painter - to finally have a real go at using oils. Until then, with no space of my own at home & conscientious of my children's health, oil painting had never been an option for me.
After two years in a studio at Beaux-Arts Brampton, I moved into a larger studio in a beautifully rennovated old mill , the Williams Mill Visual Arts Centre in Halton Hills. Inspired by the wonderful art buzz of the community and my beautiful art space in the countryside, my painting skills progressed to a new level. My very first painting there , The Magnificent Ascent of the Mighty Bear, a 3' x6' oils & oil stick painting took top prize at two juried art shows. And my photographs, initially taken as possible future reference for my paintings, began to take on a following of their own. Exhibited in my studio for interest, they began to sell, and one was used on the 2006 Halton Hills Tourist Guide cover. In 2008 I had two solo photography shows. "The Hidden Garden", a year long study of the Chappell House residential gardens in Riverwood Park was part of CONTACT 2008 Toronto Photography Show and the first photography show at Visual Arts Mississauga.
For almost 5 years I observed how important having ones own studio and what an important support being surrounded by a creative community is to this solitary business of visual art. But I also observed these artist communities work best for those in them. I lived in a completely different city to the communities above . And I wanted what those communities offered to be offered to not only me, but the other artists of my city - Mississauga. And thus AIM - Artists in Mississauga - and the grassroots movement AIM4Studios were born.
So onto my journey. In 2009 I want to put away the habits I have developed over the past few years- ie. painting realistic paintings straight from photographs. I want to get back to my roots of drawing, incorporate that in my painting. I used to love graphic novels and wonder can I get that back? can I retrigger my imagination? I also I want to tell more stories with my camera & bring my view of looking at nature more into the public eye.
And finally, I passionately want to make progress for AIM and find us a home to create.
Wish me luck! And I invite you to comment on what you think of any new art I post and anything else art related.

The second quarter of the calendar year is always a very active period for recruiters, after Chinese New Year and post-bonus season. Whilst candidates normally choose this time of year to open themselves up to new job opportunities, there is a surge in employers requiring specific skill-sets to fill the gaps left behind on top of their existing unfilled vacancies.
In China, the situation has been intensified by foreign bank branches and shared service centres intending to release new headcount, while candidate movement from bank to bank is also very active. We've noticed very high activity in the compliance and risk management field too. Risk Control professionals are in high demand, especially those with strong market knowledge, as anti-money laundering is the most serious issue facing the banking industry.
There is similar demand in Hong Kong, where candidates with strong skill sets in risk management are highly sought after in the banking and financial services sector as employers seek to curtail losses, bad debts, and compliance fines. Banking employers in Hong Kong are focused on building their risk and compliance function after years of under-performance. Also, professionals with experience in credit risk approval are in high demand as companies invest in resources to tighten the provision of credit.
In Malaysia, the explosion of digital is heightening the level of demand for candidates with digital skills. Financial services companies are increasing investment in technologies to enhance their business efficiency, which is creating a volume of new roles. The Central Bank's new regulations to encourage the digitisation of financial institutions has resulted in huge demand for talent able to manage digital transformation of financial services. As such, competition for talent with experience in the latest e-commerce, mobile, and online technologies has heated up. Companies are also offering contract assignments to skilled professionals to help complete certain projects.
Singapore is also seeing more and more employers move towards contract and temporary hiring as budget constraints cause employers to consider innovative hiring solutions. Candidates too are becoming more open towards temporary roles as they also feel the effects of the economic slowdown. However, it's not easier to secure a temporary role as competition still exists. Singapore is expected to see a rising number of senior candidates come onto the market as employers, owing to budget concerns, capitalise on the abundant pool of less experienced talent to take on a more senior remit.
Whereas employers in Japan are now openly embracing junior-level candidates in a bid to fill critical skills shortages. The jobs market is expected to see strong hiring activity this quarter as companies step up efforts to sustain business growth in the new fiscal year. A large number of junior-level positions are being opened to young talent so employers can fulfil immediate requirements but also hone skills of future senior managers.

How to initiate omni-channel loyalty in travel
Jan 3, 2014comments powered by Disqus
Omni-channel loyalty is the natural next step for travel, but is the industry ready? Ritesh Gupta investigates
Travellers today belong to a multi-device, multi-channel world in which they expect to be able to connect with their preferred brands through various touchpoints concurrently. This adds a new dimension to loyalty programmes.
Omni-channel loyalty will make this connection to brands more seamless, enhancing the consumer experience through all available channels such as mobile internet devices, computers, bricks-and-mortar, television, radio, direct mail, catalogue and so on.
Implementing omni-channel loyalty is a demanding task and has to be done efficiently. However, if done right, it can have strong impact on a customer and boost loyalty immensely.
According to Sharon Cohen, Executive Director, Loyalty Programs, FRHI Hotels & Resorts what stands out for travellers is recognition. "Omni -channel loyalty means being able to recognise a member regardless of the channel through which they are communicating and continuing the relationship or the dialogue with that guest seamlessly," she says.
Cohen argues that the industry believes in the importance of streamlined omni-channel communication and is still feeling its way around how to provide a truly seamless experience for customers who choose to engage with a brand in multiple channels. Indeed recognising a member regardless of where they are communicating from is key. Once recognition is accomplished, brands can start to build a more intimate relationship with members that is less transactional and more personal.
For Bram Hechtkopf, VP of Business Development & Marketing at Kobie Marketing there are five steps to prepare for omni-channel loyalty. They are:
1. Estimate the benefits: For any travel loyalty programme, preparing an omni-channel loyalty framework (OCL) starts with estimating whether the potential ROI benefits outweigh the financial cost. This can be determined by asking current customers what communication channels and type of offers they prefer before any changes are made.
2. Work towards enterprise-wide participation: Travel brands embracing omni-channel must get the entire enterprise on board. Silos should be broken down so all traveller data is shared and datasets like those of the booking or sales department and the frequent flyer or guest program department are integrated into sophisticated CRM systems.
3. Capitalise on data: Programme managers must review the data they already have about their members from previous transactions. This helps airlines and hotel brands establish a preliminary picture of each customer's wants and needs – one that will continually grow more detailed as the loyalty relationship evolves.
4. Be ready internally: It's also essential that all enterprise levels, from the C-suite to IT to flight attendants and hotel front-desk staff are on the same page with regards to the overall guest or traveller experience. They should also always communicate with and update each other; ensuring that the promised experience is consistent across all channels.
5. Regularly monitor progress: Keeping an omni-channel programme on track requires continuous monitoring and tracking. This helps keep individual offers as well as the overall traveller loyalty experience fresh and relevant for members.
Cohen says there are couple of key factors to keep in mind to ensure successful management of omni-channel loyalty. These include:
• Make the most of what you know: Among the challenges associated with omni-channel loyalty is the ability to track and execute on the information collected through multiple channels. Travel brands need to be able to gather intelligence on their customers; how they behave and what is important to them and then be able to feed that back to them at any given touch point in a relevant way.
• Don't overdo it: There could be a 'Big Brother' factor that sets in when brands follow customers through multiple channels. Brands need to know when to recognise or engage with the customer but should be mindful of their personal boundaries and ensure any connections with them are genuine and sincere. It is that fine balance that a brand needs to learn as it can easily make a customer disengage from the brand. When implementing omni-channel loyalty, it's important to remember that driving loyalty isn't about promotional offers or rewards and gifts. It's about fostering a long-term relationship by gaining a more granular sense of customers' preferences.

Coffee Crisp No-Churn Ice Cream
Watch the recipe video
So how does this work? How does a no-churn 4 ingredient ice cream come out with a silky smooth texture and no ice crystals?
Whipping the 35% cream to stiff peaks incorporates a lot of air, which helps keep the ice cream from freezing solid.
Condensed milk contains a lot of milk solids, sugar, and very little water. The first two lower the freeze point of the ice cream (keeping it relatively soft), and the absence of extra water (that would be in regular milk or cream) prevents that water from forming ice crystals.
Lastly the liqueur also lowers the freeze point, adding a little extra boost.
Coffee Crisp No-Churn Ice Cream
A simple no-churn ice cream recipe, with only 4 ingredients and a silky smooth texture.
- 3 cups (750 mL) 35% cream
- 1 can condensed milk
- 2 Coffee Crisp
- 2 Tbsp (30 mL) coffee liqueur
Chop up the Coffee Crisp bars.Whip cream until stiff peaks form.Fold in condensed milk until fully combined, then fold in coffee liqueur. Fold in the ¾ of the Coffee Crisp pieces.Transfer to a 9"-x-5" pan and top with remaining Coffee Crisp pieces.Freeze until firm, at least 5 hours.Let soften 10 minutes before serving.

Smart Stitches Tell You How Much You've Healed
Gareth Andrews / 3 years ago
When it comes to technology and medicine they go hand in hand. From the concept of being able to heal people from the inside out to giving people the ability to walk again, the latest piece of technology comes in the form of smart stitches.
The new stitches come from the team at Tufts University and are part of a new line of technology that could see the old throwable lifestyles we have replaced with reusable pieces of technology.
Outlined in a paper published by Microsystems & Nanoengineering the new stitches would contain sensors and electronics to help the healing process. The stitches contain everything from temperature and pressure gauges to a set of low-cost circuits to measure chemical compositions and strain.
The scanners can provide data that when compiled can tell you just how much the wound has healed. The smart stitches are also able to show signs of inflammation and bacterial infections, giving you information about wounds before they become an issue.
The use of smart technology for medical purposes isn't unheard of but using technology that could help heal and warn against further complications could help fight injuries all the way from the front lines of war to the hospital around the corner.

Remember that plants are perishable so the suppliers prefer to get them from the nursery and transport them to you the same day so that you get your plants when they are still fresh. So you have to be clear on every detail concerning the delivery. When the day comes, you will get your plants and at that same point, you will make the payments as agreed. The payment is done after the delivery so you do not have to worry about losing your money. Once you have the plants you also need to plant them as soon as possible.Learn more from

More than £2,400 has been presented to good causes following two recent fundraisers by the Sleaford and District Lioness Club.
A sum of £2,000 has been given to the British Heart Foundation as a result of the group's charity golf day.
In addition, the figure of £450 has been handed to the substance abuse cause the Walter Hrubesh Foundation, the proceeds from a fashion show.
The sums were presented to the organisations at the Solo Club, in Sleaford, on Monday.
The group has also recently welcomed a new president.
Lioness Jackie Creedon succeeds Tracy Arnold, following her year in the role – a year a spokesman for the group described as very successful.
The spokesman added: "The Lionesses have held a number of events throughout the year, raising money for many good causes, especially helping local people and groups in need."
Three new members have joined the group this year and the Lionesses say they would welcome others who would like to help their community.

Here is Rowling's official video announcement, uploaded to YouTube (unlisted) & posted to her Pottermore site, in case you haven't gone over there to see it:
JKR's Video Statement
7 responses to "JKR's Video Statement"
I saw it yesterday and am eagerly awaiting the start of pottermore! It sounds like it will be an amazing experience.
Hi, Natasha! It does sound like they've put in a lot of work — two years, I think she said — and that it's going to be a real treat visually. Getting more of The Philosopher's Stone through the added sections to the chapters will be really fun. I am interested to see how it all works!
I would assume they have done so! Even this near-two minute long video must have cost a fortune to get all the designs and animation done. Granted, she'll be getting all that money back with the release of the eBooks.
I'm dying to read more about the characters; there can never be enough! I'm particularly interested in learning more about Snape; maybe even some short stories about the Weasley Twins. I'll take whatever I can get, though!
I've been thinking of getting a Kindle; maybe now I will! It would be nice to be able to carry all the books around in a nice thin Kindle!
The animation was really beautiful. I think it will be cool, too, that we'll be seeing JKR's vision of Hogwarts, without the filtering and (often necessary) changes the films brought us.
I've been thinking about the same thing for the past few months. As much as I love holding the books while reading; it gets difficult when I go on holiday and want to bring along some reading material. A Kindle would solve that problem.
It definitely was; the animation was breathtaking. I will be waiting eagerly until the day Pottermore opens its doors to fans!
I hope you enjoy it! Drop by here & let us know! I'll likely be doing posts both at the beginning of August, whether I get that "early in" or not, and again in October/November when it opens to the public.
Yeah, now I'll be daydreaming about a Kindle . . .
I'm sure I will! I'll be looking forward to those posts. Here's hoping we're both part of those "lucky few".
Yeah… if only I had money to spare right now.

This time around, Daily Show correspondent Hasan Minhaj faux-butted in to the show to honor Stewart's frequent and mostly fake ailments, from lactose intolerance to frequent cases of "the Bubons," a plague so associated with Stewart that it's even earned its own Urban Dictionary page. Hopefully Stewart's bubonic wolf cry hasn't actually given him the plague, but that's something viewers will have to figure out before August, when he wraps up his Daily Show run.

On February 6th, 2018, The Mentionables recieved this question from Brett S.
"I was wondering which position you would affirm to be more biblically and logically sound? It seems that under Comp. one may have a hard time seeing man as morally responsible, but LFW seems to go against the Biblical Narrative in certain cases. I would love some insight into this topic. Thanks!"
Thank you for your question, Brett. Here are the answers from the team:
This answer is from Mentionable Network Member, Timothy Fox. To see the response from Joel Furches and Tyler Vela, scroll below.
This is a big question that has a lot of theological implications. But first we need definitions.
I take Libertarian Free Will (LFW) to be the commonsense, everyday understanding of free will. Humans are free to make choices or refrain from choosing, and nothing and no one else is forcing my choices. For example, I decided to wear a red shirt today but I could have worn a blue one, or nothing at all. I am free to make real choices according to my nature.
Compatibilism is an attempt to reconcile free will with causal determinism. A compatibilist thinks humans will always choose according to their greatest desire, but they still have free will as long as they aren't restricted from following that desire. So, according to compatibilism, if I chose to wear a red shirt today, that was my greatest desire and I could not have chosen to wear the blue one or go naked. Since I followed my desire, no one forced me to wear the red shirt, and nothing stopped me from doing it, it was my free choice.
But in my opinion, a compatibilist does not really believe in free will. It's like saying a robot is free so long as nothing is hindering it from following its programming.
Now to the question: Which view is biblical? LFW. While there are many examples, I think the best is 1 Corinthians 10:13 (NASB):
"No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it."
Paul is saying that when you sin, God had provided a way out so that you could have made a better decision. You had a real choice. You are not a robot following your programming, or strongest desire. When you sin, you genuinely could have done otherwise.
Now, some opponents of LFW misrepresent it as the ability to do absolutely anything. That's dumb. I can't fly. I can't will my hair to grow back. (Trust me, I've tried.) Look back to my definition of LFW: I can make choices according to my nature. Humans don't have the ability to fly, thus that choice is not within my nature to make. But I do have the ability to choose the clothes I wear (or don't wear).
To head off another common objection, LFW does not entail that the unregenerate can "choose God" apart from the work of the Holy Spirit. Neither does this does undermine LFW since the ability to choose God is not within the unregenerate person's nature (1 Cor. 2:14). LFW simply means that I am free to make real choices according to my nature, and I think that is the model of freedom laid out in the Bible as well.
Now, the question ends saying "LFW seems to go against the Biblical Narrative in certain cases." I would like to know what these cases are to see if they truly do undercut LFW.
I tried to make my case as simply as I could, and I know I may have sacrificed some technical precision in doing so. So if you'd like a further exploration of LFW and compatibilism, check out these articles by my FreeThinking Ministries colleague, Tim Stratton:
- What Is Libertarian Free Will?
- Compatibilistic Free Will: Can you have your cake & eat it too?
- Rogue One: A Lesson about Free Will & Responsibility
This answer is from Mentionable Joel Furches. To see the answer from Tyler Vela, scroll below.
In answering this question, I am going to break two of my personal rules. The first is journalistic and academic: never speak in the first person and never address your audience directly. The second is apologetic: never address a subject you are not prepared to defend.
As regards the second, I can categorically say that I have not done the work on the topic of predestination and free will necessary to form and defend a conclusion. However, I do have a strongly held theory on this subject – a compatibilist model that satisfies both criteria and allows for all apparent contradictory passages in scripture, at least, so far as I have been able to ascertain.
In my theory, the sovereignty of God and the free will of man are directly concerned with the relationship each party has to the natural function of time.
Humans exist within the flow of time, such that each individual experiences the sequence of past, present and future. Consequently, in each moment, an individual uses experience and knowledge from the immediate or distant past in order to make free-will decisions in the moment leading to consequences in the future. This constant flow of human action within the construct of time is exactly what creates the free-will experience.
My impression of God, which is by no means shared by all Apologists or Christian philosophers, is that he exists in an eternal state outside of time. This makes for an entirely different interaction with the construct of time, and with time-bound creatures.
In this respect, God could be said to be entirely immediate in every moment simultaneously. God's nature is eternal and unchanging, as compared to the flow of time which is nothing but change. When God's unchanging nature interacts with the changing construct of time, what occurs is a single action which directs all things according to his nature.
The best analogy I have for this is chemical. Imagine a chemical solution which is entirely uniform across its entire mass. Then imagine a fibrous strip of litmus paper which is multifaceted within each fiber. Submerge the strip in the solution and each fiber of the strip experiences a different response, but the chemical remains uniform and unchanged.
God's eternal unchanging nature is fully revealed and defined as it interacts with every aspect of the consistently changing universe, just as the changes a litmus paper experiences reveals the nature of the chemical in which it is submerged.
Humans have free will insofar as they operate off the past to make decisions in the present which affect the future, but they do so entirely exposed to the eternal nature of God, which overwhelms and supersedes all things.
So God is sovereign in the sense that he is simultaneously creating the world, judging the world by flood, saving the world through Christ, and creating a new heaven and a new earth. The very act of creating time involves predestination and working all things according to his will - which is never inconsistent in any given time-bound scenerio.
This can easily be seen in passages such as Deuteronomy wherein, after delivering the blessings and curses, God plainly tells the people that their future generations will break the commandments and stoke his wrath. At the same time God is delivering the law, he is enacting it on the future generations. It could also explain how Abraham could be justified by his faith thousands of years before Christ came. Because at the same time that Abraham was sacrificing his son, God was sacrificing his son.
However, the clearest passage that reveals this concept is Christ's statement, "Before Abraham was, I Am." In one brief statement, Christ has shown the temporal nature of man in contrast to the eternal nature of God.
This model has some pretty fascinating implications when it comes to the nature of Christ. Assuming this model, Christ would have uniquely been an eternal nature interacting with a time-bound nature. This thusly allows God - through Christ - to see the nature of time from within and without. Were this the case, it would give a pretty solid answer to the "Why did Jesus pray to himself"-type questions occasionally seen from skeptics. It might also go a ways toward explaining why Jesus didn't know the date of his return.
Speaking of prayer, this model – to me – explains the effectiveness of prayer between fallible humans and an eternal, unchanging God. Under most models, it makes no sense that an omniscient, changeless and totally sovereign God would at all be affected or responsive to prayer, and yet prayer is practically commanded and at least encouraged by Christ. Yet if God's eternal nature interacts with ever-changing time in a way consistent with that very nature, then prayer is simply an aspect of time which interacts in a particular way with God's nature – somewhat in the way that a wall interacts differently when a rock or a tennis ball are thrown against it.
One can certainly develop this theme through scripture, but I haven't the space here to do so.
Once again, I must stress that this is a theory, and not one I am currently prepared to defend. It is, however, a theory to which I currently see no defeaters. I am able to read most of the Bible through that lens, and it works consistently.
This Answer is from Tyler Vela
Thank you for the wonderful question. Due to the wildly complex nature of the question and the huge volume of literature on this issue, I'm actually going to keep my answer pretty short and simply touch on a couple key concepts to keep in mind as we discuss it.
My position: As a Reformed Presbyterian, I hold to a Compatibilistic reconciliation of the definite and predetermined decree of God for all things and for human responsibility.
My hermeneutical assumption: Scripture is authoritative and sufficient. What I find is that these conversations will almost always quickly move to and stay in the realm of philosophical discourse. I'm not opposed to philosophical discourse, however when we hold positions for philosophical reasons and then back into the Scriptures to find a way to justify it, that is not an acceptable practice. It may be the case that we can apprehend some truth in the Scriptures but struggle to comprehend it or hash out the details.
Divine Determinism is Scripture: There are clear passages in the Bible that God has predestined not only whatsoever comes to pass, but also our repentance and faith unto salvation (which is where the real tension lies). We see in Acts 2:23 that the action of the Jews in crucifying Jesus was part of the "predetermined plan" of God. When Joseph comforts his brothers in Gen 50:20, he says that they meant evil, but God had determined it for a good outcome. When Peter and John were released in Acts 4 and they began to glorify God that the city and the people and Pilate had all arrayed against Jesus "to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose predestined to occur." Psalm 135:6 tells us that God does whatever he pleases and Job 42:2 tells us that no plan or purpose of God can be thwarted. Jer. 10:23 tells us that man's way (his own path) is not even found in himself, and that he doesn't even direct his own steps. In addition we can see that God has elected from before the foundation of the world who would be adopted as sons via repentance and faith (Eph. 1:4-5), and that all that he foreknew he predestined. Well in one sense God foreknows everyone so does this mean everyone? Well Paul continues by saying, "these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified." This means that all of the ones who were predestined were called, all those called are justified, all those who are justified are glorified." So unless one is a universalist, this foreknowledge is almost certainly a kind of covenant knowledge – those that he foreknew in a redemptive sense (just like we see in Eph 1). This means that he was the one determining from before creation, who would be redeemed. Much more can be said on this, but that should suffice for now.
Is There a Conflict? I hardly need to show human choice and responsibility in Scripture. We do not really disagree with our Arminian and Traditionalist brothers on this. So does the existence of divine determinism in some way make human freedom an allusion? Does it make God unjust for judging people as morally culpable if they cannot resist his will? The answers here are actually simple if we simply allow the Scriptures to speak for themselves. If there is divine determination in the Scriptures, then that just means that a notion of Libertarian Freedom of the Will (LFW) is not present in the scripture. Unfortunately, many who hold to LFW assume that LFW is the only substantive concept of freedom of the will. That unless our choices are left completely unfettered by the constraints of our nature, our greatest desires, the definite decrees of God, etc. that we do not have limited creaturely (but real substantive) freedom, but that we have no manner of freedom and are no different than robots. This is simply begging of the question on stilts. The Scriptures clearly teach both – not only that God is sovereign but that whatsoever comes to pass is part of God's decree and has been predetermined to occur according to the definite plan of God. It could not be any different. But you may ask me, how is that fair? How can God find us morally culpable and at fault when we cannot resist his determined plan and will?
It's great that you ask that. Do you know who else asked that exact question in the Scriptures? When Paul tells of God's meticulous activity in choosing Jacob and rejecting Esau before they were even born or had done anything good or bad, and his hardening of Pharaoh so that God's purpose might be displayed and his glory revealed, when he showed that it is not based on the one who wills or the one who works but on God alone who determines when he has mercy and when he has wrath, then Paul's interlocutor shows up again. The objection Paul imagines his reader to have is exactly that objection. Rom. 9:19 reads, "You will say to me then, "Why does He still find fault? For who resists His will?"" That is the objection of the advocate of LFW – God would be unjust for judging people if they cannot resist his will.
Notice Paul does not agree with them. Neither does he correct them as misunderstanding what he has said and stating that he was defending LFW the whole time. In fact he sharply rebukes them in the manner that God rebuked Job – who do you think you are to question God? God has the right over his creation like the potter has the right over his clay to make what he wants – vessels of mercy or vessels of wrath. In fact, Paul doubles down on this response and asks, "What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction? That is, what if God determined them for wrath so that he could make his wrath and his power known? Some will try to say that he is just saying that God could have done this. Even if that were the case that God could do that, it means that he could do that without being unjust and the objection from the LFW advocate still fails. But Paul does not merely leave it as an abstract hypothetical. He does not just say "what if God did that…" but then continues by saying, "And He did so to make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory…" That is, God not only could have done that, but that is exactly what God did. God did create the vessels of wrath to display his glory to the objects of his mercy and he was entirely just in doing so.
Conclusion: While I have not here engaged in philosophical speculation about how exactly divine determinism and human responsibility are related and interact, and how and why God determines some specific action in his sovereign and providential running of creation, I think that I have shown enough scriptural justification that this is the view that is concord with the teaching of the Scripture. When discussing these issues, we should always ask the person who gives a robust philosophical treatment, "okay, but what do the Scriptures teach." And if, as part of their objection to the clear tension in scripture between divine determinism and God's providential predetermined plan on the one hand and human freedom and responsibility on the other, forces them to offer a protestation or an assumption that is expressly used by Paul as an unbiblical view that he directly refutes, then something has gone horribly off the tracks. I would rather align my theology with Paul and the rest of scripture and not be able to fully work out the details, then to have a fully thought out philosophical system that is based on assumptions directed refuted by the scripture itself.
Soli Deo Gloria.

Book review : The Devotion of Suspect X
I love murder mysteries and thrillers where you have to guess who the real villian is. I grew up on James Patterson, Jeffrey Deaver, Micheal Conolly, James Conolly, Harlen Coben and many more modern day masters of the genre. Having said that, THE DEVOTION OF SUSPECT X is, uncharacteristically, neither a murder mystery, nor an action adventure. And yet, it is so much more.
My rating : 3 out of 4

Many people in the fitness industry are fundamentally wrong to say the reason to exercise is to lose weight and look better. I'm happy to stick my hand up and admit that I, too, was guilty of selling this outdated ideal.
But in doing so we've all missed a major opportunity to 'sell' exercise to a much wider audience. Here are six benefits of exercise that have nothing to do with physique.
1. Physical activity improves brain power
Fact: Regular exercise results in neurogenesis (growing more brain cells).
Playing Sudoku on the weekend might flex your mental muscle, but if you really want to be smarter your time is better spent pounding the pavement. Research shows that exercise helps prevent age-related decrease in brain matter, enhances cognitive flexibility and reduces the risk of dementia.
From your late 20s you begin to lose about 1 per cent of your hippocampal volume each year. This is the area of your brain involved in memory and learning. The good news is that exercise helps prevent this physical decline by kick-starting neurogenesis - building new brain cells.
Most brain changes have occurred from endurance exercise, such as walking or running, but all forms of physical activity provide benefits. A 2012 study published in The Journal of Neurology showed higher levels of physical activity reduces the risk of Alzheimer's Disease.
2. Physical activity boosts energy
Fact: Exercise builds more mitochondria (responsible for producing energy in the body).
When you feel foggy and fatigued at work, the last thing you feel like doing is exercise. However, even a small dose of exercise - as little as 20 minutes - dramatically boosts your energy.
A University of Georgia study reported sedentary people who normally complained of chronic lethargy could increase their energy by 20 per cent and decrease fatigue by as much as 65 per cent by participating in regular, low-intensity exercise.
Aerobic exercise increases the number of mitochondria in our cells, which are responsible for producing energy the body can use.
3. Physical activity builds a buffer for retirement
Fact: Exercise improves the quality and experience of your life post-retirement.
The average person hits their physical peak around 30 years of age, and if you don't exercise regularly, you start to lose muscle and gain fat more easily after that.
Around 55, people experience the 'double dip' – the body is less efficient at breaking down protein, and there is also a drop in lean body mass. This leads to a drop in metabolic rate, contributing to an expanding waistline and increased risk of chronic disease. You may notice things stop working as well – ankles, knees, back pain, and shoulder problems set in.
A few years ago Ralph Norris, the former Commonwealth Bank CEO, spoke after me at an insurance broker conference. "Why is it that we spend all of our health accumulating wealth, then retire and spend our wealth trying to claw back our health?," he asked.
The message is clear: make movement a lifelong habit, and enjoy an active and colourful retirement.
4. Physical activity improves the way you connect with your children
Fact: Overweight parents have a much higher incidence of overweight children.
It's frightening that one quarter of children aged two to 17 are overweight or obese. Obesity in fathers is associated with a four-fold increase in risk of obesity at the age of 18 years in both sons and daughters.
As a father I only want the best for my children and the biggest gift I can give them is a healthy relationship with physical activity. Health behaviours are set in our youth, so it is vital parents are positive role models. This means providing them with nourishing fruits and vegetables at meal times and teaching them to love exercise.
You'll not only get the health benefits of physical activity, but also strengthen the bond with your kids in a fun and meaningful way.
5. Physical activity dramatically improves your mood
Fact: Physical activity has been proven to be as successful as Zoloft in treating mild forms of depression**.
More than 1 million adults in Australia experience depression every year. Depression is more than just 'having the blues' - it can affect your brain function, sleep cycles, sympathetic nervous system, immune function and digestive tract.
A study published in the Journal of Psychosomatic Medicine tested exercise against Zoloft in treating depression, and found that either, or a combination of both, were equally as effective in reducing depressive symptoms. The major advantage of exercise over medication is there are no nasty side effects (the potential for injury aside if you don't do it right).
Being physically active also helps regulate the systems affected by depression by improving sleep, boosting your mood and increasing your energy levels. So lace up those shoes and head out the door to embrace the many benefits of exercise.
6. Physical activity improves your sex life
Come on. If numbers 1 to 5 haven't fired you up, surely this will.
Staying in shape can boost your performance in the bedroom by improving circulation and boosting testosterone. For men this means stronger erections, and less erectile dysfunction.
Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health studied 31,000 men and found that those who exercised vigorously for 20 to 30 minutes a day were 30 per cent less likely to report erectile dysfunction than their sedentary counterparts. That increased fitness not only helps your heart, but also makes you last longer in the bedroom.
There you go. Six compelling reasons why physical activity has nothing to do with the way you look.
What are the benefits you achieve from regular exercise?
** Please note that the article does not state that Zoloft is better, but it can be just as effective. See your doctor or a health professional if you have been feeling down for longer than a few weeks.

Dear All
I have lived / worked in Sand Hutton for over 40 years and never seen the lane from the A64 to the village in such poor condition.
The lane was never designed to take the volume of traffic or size of vehicles that now tackle it daily.
Large commercial vehicles and ever larger tractors / trailers don't feel the need to slow for oncoming traffic – they just pull onto the verge, depositing most of it across the road. They have such large wheels they don't even notice, or care.
The road is simply too narrow to cope with the size and quantity of modern vehicles now using it.
It urgently needs widening and re-surfacing before either there's a nasty accident or we have to dig our way out.
In order to get any attention from the council, I'm urging all residents of Sand Hutton and Claxton to visit the Highways Agency website and complete a complaint form at https://www.ryedale.gov.uk/report-highways-fault.html
It's easy and quick to do, but needs many of us to complain before they even take a look..
All support will be much appreciated.
Kind regards
David Black
Woodside Farm, Sand Hutton

2 Keto or Not 2
I have reached the point, again, where I must get back in shape. I saw an Instagram post from one of the body positivity accounts I follow stating, "Losing weight is not my life purpose."
Simply put, I agree. I agree that we all need to be more body positive, but we also need to be more body conscious. Women and men of all sizes are beautiful. I believe we all should strive to be healthy, and the only proper judge of our health is our doctor.
While I do not believe I look bad or ugly or any of those other synonyms while weighing more, there's one word I'm not...comfortable. Happy? Check. Mostly stress free? Check. Comfortable? No. It's the main take away I get from all the body positive accounts. Be comfortable in your own skin. Right now, I'm not.
There's nothing wrong with me. I'm happy with who I am. I'm happy in my relationship. I'm comfortable in my relationship. And I'm sure that my relationship and the stressful circumstances that have happened in the last few months have contributed to my weight gain. Am I upset with myself for the gain? NO! I know a chunk of it comes from finding someone who loves me and makes me happy. (Yes, I love them too. Should go without saying.) Never will I be upset, again, about becoming "fappy". (Please note in this context "fappy" = fat + happy, not the British slang word).
What I'm tired of is the cycle. I have yet to fully gain control of the cycle and keep it steady for more than 6 months or so. There's a word. It's a word I love and I think it's the word that is causing me the most trouble. The S word. That's right, Sugar. If you know me at all, and many of you do, one of the first things you learn about me is how big my sweet tooth is. Very few things escape my sweet tooth. With all the studies of what sugar is doing to our bodies, I wouldn't be surprised if it's causing me some problems.
Sodas aren't my problem. I love root beer, but I can live without it. I have even gone through periods, well a period, where I pretty much cut out sugar, dairy and gluten and man could I tell the difference. Now I'm wondering if sugar was the culprit and not the others. I honestly think my body could use a sugar detox. I don't want the cravings. I love Easter candy and I can't promise I'll never eat my favorites again but I want to not go so crazy.
I've read about the Ketogenic lifestyle for several years. Several friends have tried it and love it and thrive on it. My body chemistry, according to one DNA test, doesn't burn fat as quickly as others. Does this concern me a little? Sort of. Perhaps my body just hasn't been taught how to burn it the right way. I do believe that my body needs a reset.
Again, this is me talking about me. I make no judgements on others even if I find things hard to understand. I may talk about my boyfriend quite a lot. I may talk about how he feels about his journey, but I assure you I've made sure he's happy with what is being shared.
So, why Keto you ask? Well, part of it is the recommendations I hear from friends and associates who have been following the lifestyle. Another part is that I feel that I need a true lifestyle and the constant calorie counting isn't working. It's exhausting. The 24 day challenges I do are great and they work, however, I want something more consistent. I'm not going into this believing it's a cure all, but I am hopeful it is what I will need.
This post is being written over a series of days as I approach the start of this change. Today I had to go buy jeans in a bigger size. I am back to being a size 12. My size 10 is no longer comfortable. I can see the weight I've gained. I don't want to be 185lbs. I believe I have realistic expectations. I want to lose what I need to be comfortable. I, mostly, enjoy my curves and I am not trying to make them go away. I don't think anyone should judge another for what makes them comfortable. I only tell you my weight and sizes to give you an idea of me. Those numbers don't define me and I don't believe they should define anyone else. Nor should my definition of comfort define anyone else's.
All of us have to battle so many expectations. We shouldn't take the views of another or their comfort level and put them on ourselves. Yes, yes, easier said than done I know. We have all had damage done to ourselves in one form or another. We all handle mending the damage in different ways.
Well, another several days have passed and I am sitting at home in bed after coming home from work early due to what is most likely a food allergy attack. I rubbed my eye and the next thing I know it was itchy and had inflamed. I'll save you the photo on that one. I did take an allergy pill, however, most of those pills make me drowsy or out of it even if they say it won't do that. I'm exhausted and frustrated and now even more excited than ever to get started.
If I mention a podcast or a book or anything, in no way have I been paid to promote it. I do not have any deals or affiliations with anything I mention. If that changes, I will state something. The podcast 2 Keto Dudes was highly recommended to me by a woman that I volunteer for GreySave with. She has switched to the ketogenic lifestyle and looks amazing. She recommended several podcasts and I was thrilled because I love getting more information. I've done one episode of the 2 Keto Dudes so far and I'm a big fan. I can't wait to listen to more of them.
Well, we have now reached day 1. The post is going up the morning of Day 1. I will do my best to to write about my experience daily with the journey into ketosis and beyond. Yes, weight loss is part of what I want to achieve, but mostly I want to rid myself of the dependance of sugar and carbs in my diet that I so heavily crave. FYI, at this point I am on episode 16 of 2 Keto Dudes. It's what I listen to in my car, now that I have one. Before, I was listening to it on the bus. I highly recommend this show for anyone who is interested in learning more.
Stay tuned for Day 1….

Corvinus Hotel Budapest rocks!
At Kempinski Corvinus Hotel you truly feel pampered as a guest, it is after all Europe's oldest luxury hotel group. They opened this grand Hotel in the heart of the Hungarian capital twenty-five years ago, and yes…. it is synonymous with elegant European impeccable service.
Being so close to the parliament, it even offers a presidential suite and is a safe haven for pop stars and other celebs.
Imagine this, from the window of the Corvinius suite, Michael Jackson waved to his fans outside the hotel in the park. The old tree where they gathered is still a place where people burn candles and leave their flowers.
But really, it is a village on its own, there is no need to leave the building… the lobby is a hotspot not only for the hotel guests: Budapest business people and other cosmopolitans love to come here to chit-chat, while making deals in this social beehive in one of the many fancy coffee-shops.
The fitness and sports facility offers treatments with Elemental Herbology treatments which are a dream come true! And for the techies, there is the high-tech infotainment system, even when you are going up or down in the elevator.
But for many, a big part of it all is the dining experience: Executive Chef Roland Holzer runs ÉS Deli, modern New York deli-style; ÉS Bisztró, Austrian-Hungarian; and all other outlets in the hotel. He is a warmhearted and exquisite Chef de Cuisine from Austria who has his roots in the traditional Hungarian and Austrian kitchen and who speaks with enthusiasm about his childhood years on the farm. This is the place where he learned how important the human connection with nature and farmhouse animals is.
Truly amazing is that he managed to translate his passion into these colorful and very tasteful cosmopolitan restaurants. Great breakfast, with homemade jams and delicious and authentic sourdough bread from his secret recipe. Everything you get for lunch or dinner has a soul. The ingredients come from local farmers, and for tomatoes and herbs…. he just takes the elevator to the roof of the hotel to his vegetable garden and hand-picks them!
But don't forget a very important pillar of the Hotel Corvinus, and that is their experience and expertise for inside and outside big event catering: Indian weddings, Italian garden dinner, you name it and they are the best place to go.
If you do not feel like sleeping yet…Blue Fox The Bar is where you get your drinks, a local yet cosmopolitan bar that mixes its classic cocktails right, and has a masterful and innovative sense of flair with flavours. Special treats include a DJ every Friday and Saturday, so bring your red dancing shoes.
Situated in downtown shopping area with all luxury brands and cafés and restaurants just everywhere, you will find the best Japanese sushi restaurant right here…
…Yes! It is NOBU,
where head chef Gábor Schreiner combines the Japanese-Peruvian taste with Hungarian ingredients.
Nobu restaurant offers world-famous and special signature dishes, like Yellowtail Sashimi with Jalapeno, Tuna Sashimi Salad with Matsuhisa's Dressing and Black Cod in Miso. But for me the best thing …..wow, you can order a variety of sushi and sashimi as room service!
Three pillows in your back and nicely tucked within the clean and crispy sheets on the king-size bed is true heaven…..you are right and well on your way to a soothing and relaxing sleep, to wake up energized and happy, ready for just another entertaining day in downtown Budapest!

Although visually my world appears to be complete disorganization, my mind is not cluttered. I know that out of this disorder will come order. I invite the Divine Presence into my life and my surroundings and all of my unpacking activities, and am at peace. God and I are working on this unpacking project together today. I started with visualization of the completely ordered end. And I visualized this completely ordered end with fewer possessions than we started with.
One thing has has been made clear to me - We've got too much stuff. In this smaller house is still a collection of things gathered over a lifetime. I am reminded of an article by Carol A. Karpeck, Free to Live With Spirit. In the article she talks about making room for Spirit and I have taken her words to heart:
"'To be free, we must be willing to give up the good for the greater! We need to bless and release people, things, beliefs, actions, circumstances and relationships from our lives that no longer reflect our current truth. When we release willlingly, time and time again, we evolve spiritually, we constantly make room for Spirit, for greater good. And we feel free to fully enjoy the good - no longer collecting and clinging.
What I learned in my major releasing was that my home and its possessions represented my connection with people and events from my past which had left my life. I had loved them, treasured them, and missed them. And each article was a link to what had been.
A greater awareness came to me during this transformation: There had always been special people and things in my life; there always would be special people and things in my life! I no longer had to hold on to all the mementos. I possessed the memories!
Each act of release that we chose to make opens our hearts, minds, and lives to greater good than we have yet known. That is "living free - with Spirit!"
She recommends an experiment I am having fun following:
1. Select one room in your home that contains items you have collected.
2. Make three spearate lists, labeled:
"Could easily part with."
"Requires some thought."
"No way could I give this up."
3. write down each article in that room on one of the three lists.
4. Notice which list is longest and the types of items on each list.This helps revel the levels of attachment.
Two last thoughts:
"Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Matthew 6:21.
There is amazing power in letting go. Today I am letting go and making room for Spirit. All is in Divine Order.

President Trump has taken the U. S. out of the Paris Climate Accords. He has implied that his reason for getting out of the Accords was that the rest of the world was using the Paris Climate Accords to take advantage of the U.S. and U. S. businesses. That is not how the Paris Climate Accord works. Each country makes up its own goals and its own plans under the Accords. The United States makes up its own plans with no input from other countries. The same goes for Japan, Canada, Mexico, China and every other country. Also, there are no penalties if any country fails to meet its goals or even fails to follow its plan. The entire plan for each country is aspirational. The entire plan for each country is voluntary. There are no countries which get any control of any kind over the United States or any other country because of this plan. Google "Paris Climate Accords, voluntary" and find out much more about the Accords.
What does the American business community think about President Trump taking the U. S. out of the Paris Climate Accords. Consider the following quote from the Harvard Business Review in response to President Trump taking the U.S. out of the Paris Accords, "This is a horrible decision for business, for the United States and for humanity." On May 10, thirty CEO's wrote an open letter to President Trump urging him to stay in the Paris Climate Accords. Two Minnesota companies on the list are 3M Company and Cargill Inc. For a complete list and much more google "Harvard Business Review: U.S. Business Leaders Want to Stay in Paris Climate Accord."
Following are quotes from some very well known business Leaders regarding President Trump's decision to leave the Paris Accords. First, Mark Zuckerberg, "withdrawing from the Paris Climate agreement is bad for the environment, bad for the economy, and it puts our children's future at risk." Second, Apple CEO Tim Cook, "Decision to withdraw from the Paris agreement was wrong for our planet. Apple is committed to fight climate change and we will never waver." Third, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, "Am departing presidential councils. Climate change is real. Leaving Paris is not good for America or the world." There are many more quotes. Google "Business leaders react to Trumps Paris Accord decision."
How about good paying jobs? In 1923 employment in coal mining peaked at 863,000 coal miners. Since then mechanization has greatly decreased employment in coal mining. By the end of 2016 the coal industry employed approximately 50,000 coal miners.To get this information google "history of coal mining employment in the United States." This is compared to 260,000 Americans currently working in the solar industry. The entire world is ramping up renewable energy investment, research, and production. This is where there will be a big increase in jobs in the future.
The United States is joining two other countries, Syria and Nicaragua as the only countries not in the Paris Climate Accords. The United States is much stronger when it works with its allies and the rest of the world. The United States is weaker when it works alone.

2013 Mirepoix - Estate
2013 Mirepoix - Estate
We are very excited to be able to be making a blend of this nature, as it allows us through blending, to create what we feel is the best wine of the vintage from our Bordeaux varietals. This particular vintage is 85% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 6% Cabernet Franc, a true Bordeaux Blend. Made exclusively from small vineyards which we control from pruning to pouring, Matt Oetinger has long believed that this wine truly is his most "shotgun" style wine, it really pairs well with the most varied foods. It's soft and supple enough to go with chicken and pork dishes, yet tannic enough to stand up to beef and heartier pastas. Years in the making we are very proud of our newest wine, enjoy! It will be at its best from 2014 to 2022.

Re: How to convert BGP configuration to newer AOS releaselevi Jul 9, 2015 10:48 AM (in response to chi)
Thank you for asking this question in the support community forum. When upgrading AOS firmware from a version prior to 18.03.00/R10.1.0, to a version of AOS 18.03.00/R10.1.0 or later, the newer AOS version will auto-change the configuration to adhere to the new BGP commands; therefore, you do not need to change any commands manually. Please, note, the opposite does not work (i.e. if you downgrade AOS from the current AOS BGP commands, to a version prior to 18.03.00/R10.1.0, the BGP commands will not be compatible).
Here is the Configuring BGP in AOS Releases Prior to 18.03.00/R10.1.0 guide and here is the Configuring BGP in AOS 18.03/R10.1.0 or later guide. I hope that makes sense, but please do not hesitate to reply to this post with any additional information or questions. I will be happy to help in any way I can.
