Toasts to the wedding
Marriage is like a kitchen. Everything boils, boils, and sometimes it's so hot that you can even get burned. But if you clearly control the process, then in the end you can get a real masterpiece that will not only please the eye, but will drive your mind crazy. We will raise glasses for a young family, and let them enjoy the wonderful moments spent together!
Let's drink to the young,
We can not find other such,
Such beautiful, smart, glorious,
Such lovers, most, most!
Let's drink friends to the bottom,
That there was a strong family,
So that they do not know evil and evil,
And that the children were born!
A merry view of this fascinating, funny video. Write your feedback, comments after watching this funny video.

Editor's Note: This letter to Lovefraud was submitted by a Lovefraud reader whom we'll call "Friend's Keeper."
I am writing this about a friend who I am trying to help who is clearly involved with a sociopath. My friend is a male, married to a sociopathic woman. Her acts and behavior are really unbelievable unless you see for yourself.
What he's "˜allowed'
She takes his entire paychecks (salary plus state pension totaling $14,000/mo), and puts him on a $100/mo allowance, which he gets only if he's good, while she takes the rest. She convinces him it's all for him. He's only allowed out of the house to go to work, and she times him on when he gets home. He's not allowed out on the evenings or weekends unless it's with her. He wasn't even allowed to touch the remote control. He's not allowed to leave work for lunch, as she gives him one jar of peanut butter and a box of crackers to eat for lunch every day, which has to last him for the month, while she enjoys whatever she wants on his money.
She abuses him psychologically and physically. She even forces him to sit down to pee. One time he snuck a glass of wine that was in the house, and when she found out, she beat him with the wine bottle right between the legs. She constantly tells him he's ugly and that nobody would want him. If they go to a restaurant, he could only order what she tells him to order.
He used to talk to me about it every day. He is 70 years old, makes good money, and has (or had) no savings account, or access to money that he worked for (so he thought).
I explained to him that he has access, as it is his money. He was too afraid to try. I told him to find out the bank where his checks were being deposited into, and that it's probably a joint account since his name was on the check.
I went with him to the bank (he snuck out at lunchtime after he called her) and sure enough, his name was on the account. I told him to get a statement, and when he did, he saw all the cash she was withdrawing every day. The day before payday, she would wipe out the account, while he would walk around penniless.
And he never knew what was going on. She never worked a day in her life, she just took everything he had, while abusing him. She stole his entire inheritance, as he never saw a dime of it.
Courage to leave
He finally got the courage to leave. He said he had wanted to leave throughout the entire marriage, but never had the courage or finances to do it, as she had total emotional and financial control over him.
I helped him get his own apartment, and helped him open up his first checking and savings account of his own. He was never so happy. He had his freedom.
But within a few months, she lured him back. She promised that she changed, and she threatened to kill herself if he didn't come back to her. I explained to him that people don't change, especially sociopaths, but he's so convinced she changed. It's like he's in a trance.
Within two weeks of being with her, his checking and savings accounts were both wiped out with insufficient funds.
He still doesn't see it. She is constantly seducing him to keep him under her spell. It was such a terrible life for him, he got away, and got lured right back.
He won't even talk to me now because she warned him not to. I don't know if the nice act is still going on, but I just don't understand how he can't see it. Is it common for people to go back to their abuser after finally escaping the abuse?
Update two months later
He has opened his eyes briefly. After about a month or two of his wife being nice and constantly seducing him, she slowly started to revert back to her normal self. But even while being "nice" she was still taking all his money and literally controlling his every move to where he can't even leave the house without her except to go to work. And the strange thing is is that he thought she was so wonderful.
He came out of the trance briefly, saw what was going on, and told me he realizes it now. She found out he was talking to me for the 10th time, put on her fake tears, made him feel so guilty, she told him that he's killing her, and threatened to kill herself, then seduced him.
Within a few days he was back under her spell (this just happened last week) — still without a penny to his name. However, while he came out of the trance for a while, I showed him the e-mail that I sent you, and it really opened up his eyes. He said that it all happened, but he didn't realize how bad it was until he saw it in black and white.
I would like to help others that are in a similar situation, and are involved with these predators recognize the signs of what a sociopath is. Especially, after witnessing the terrible abuse that this man has went through, and is still going through.

We have covered this subject before, but with the current state of the world we feel the need to reinforce that it is ESSENTIAL that activists organise much more effectively.
First of all, this is not a call to form mobs and do stupid things which will make the situation worse. This is a call for all of the fragmented groups to get together and formulate an effective and realistic strategy to combat the greed, social engineering, manipulation, and everything else that is destroying any kind of society based in humanity.
Most of the problems we face in society have one accessible root cause. Whether your 'niche' is the environment, welfare, or bin collections etc., all routes will go back to the same source of the problem.
Until activists break out of the 'niche' mind-set and start tackling the root (or as close to the root as possible) of the problem nothing of any significance will happen – and it certainly will not change society or the agenda of those in power.
We have seen numerous examples of very significant demonstrations which those in power treat as a thorn in the side for a week or so – and that is all that is achieved.
Diplomatic persuasion does not work when dealing with those in power because that is not what they relate to, and they view those actions and those involved in them as weak and pathetic, only to be placated and treated with distain.
The only way is by forcefully challenging and threatening something those responsible for the problem view as important – their cages need to be well and truly rattled. 'Forcefully' does not mean violent. They are prepared to meet violent dissidence and will do what they have to (or what they have already planned to do in such circumstances) to stamp out unrest and drive society further into a police state.
So what do we do to have an impact?
Organisation needs strong, disciplined, and fearless leaders and members who will not back down and who will remain dedicated and do what is necessary (and take the consequences) to reach the objective – or get as close to it as possible. All sounds very noble – but that is the only way change will happen.
This is one of the problems with 'niche' activism. It only concentrates on a very small area of a much bigger problem – albeit an important part. Small movements may make small changes for a short time if they are lucky, and the work involved is often disproportionate to the outcome. Limited resources and limited dedication are often the curse of small campaigns.
Activities such as demonstrations are not really effective or demonstrate the full support for a particular cause. They often attract the 'occasional' demonstrator, or those who go along because they think it will be fun – we often see this when students join demonstrations then forget all about the cause once they graduate and enter the corporate world. Often demonstrations do not represent the span of society who support the cause.
Getting the public's practical support is also another difficult thing for the small or 'niche' activist organisation to achieve. While there may be far more agreement from the public that a cause is right and just, they may not feel 'included' or see it as their place to become directly involved in action or in providing practical support.
Part of this may be because there are so many smaller organisations looking for public support. This can become confusing and result in members of the public becoming overwhelmed by the bombardment – which causes confusion and makes them go back to the habitual behaviour of their own lives/world. Members of the public may agree with several or many causes, but simply do not have the time or resources to become involved in a meaningful way, perhaps thinking that the cause has enough supporters anyway, or has little chance of making any real difference.
An analogy could be a person coming to a crossroads. Instead of having one or two paths to continue their journey, they have twenty or thirty. Which way to go? The easiest option is to go back to where they came from because the choice has become too confusing, and if they do choose one there may be the fear that it is not the 'right' one.
We need to make causes inclusive rather than exclusive.
So how can we engage more people in causes that directly affect them, and which they can feel a real part of?
Some organisations and campaigns have an image of only been open to people of a certain 'type'. This could be real or presumed depending on the amount of propaganda launched against the organisation.
An organisation which immediately springs to mind is CND. Even though they were (and are) campaigning for something which affects everyone, their image in the in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s in particular, was that of a 'commie' influenced left-wing organisation which was attempting to subvert democracy. This was perpetrated by government propaganda and misinformation about the organisation which the majority of the general public believed. Fortunately the situation changed for them over time and they have attracted a wider range of people.
Unfortunately image does matter when trying to appeal to the masses. Their first impression of an organisation may not be the cause itself, but the general perception of the organisation by the majority, which others will blindly believe and follow.
Charities often receive or don't receive support based on their image, rather than their operation, politics, or dubious rate of donations which reached the front line. Recently we saw an example of this when there was some exposure in the mainstream press of the high salaries of some leaders in well-known charities. If a charity contains an emotive word such as 'cancer' the public tend to automatically think that the organisation is looking for cures or helping people with the disease.
Activism organisations can suffer from the same misrepresentation or perception.
When we talk about activism, the public may have a skewed view of the term. They may think of marches, demonstrations, riots, damage, and so on – all negative terms that have been reinforced by propaganda. They may not realise that activism involves taking any action that can challenge something that affects them and is aimed at bringing about change.
Activism is defined in the Oxford English dictionary as:
[mass noun]
the policy or action of using vigorous campaigning to bring about political or social change:
If a person is made aware that they can make a valuable contribution to bring about change by performing an action, they must have an easy route that initially requires little effort in their part. This is not necessarily because people can't be bothered or are lazy, often it is because they don't understand how their small contribution can bring about real change, or they have a fear of becoming involved in something they may perceive as 'political' which they think may have ramifications on their way of life, or make them targets of the authorities or employers etc.
So we need to make causes easy to understand, safe to engage in, and very easy for people to make a contribution to in some way.
Generally, small organisations that concentrate on 'niche' areas will have few resources and the image they project may be of limited appeal. For example, if an organisation is promoting the change of a very local issue, it is highly unlikely that people far away from the region will become involved and provide support – it may (seemingly) be of no interest to them.
Yet the core problem may be much deeper into the system than the local problem appears to be. Perhaps a local service is being closed because of government cuts. Although the campaign is concerned with keeping the service open or running, the real problem is the cut in resources to maintain it – which affects several chains of involvement before reaching the local level. It could be seen as a pyramid where the main or root cause is at the top and the effects are felt more and more at each larger level.
Targeting the local level may have some impact, but the impact will not address the core problem, and those being targeted by the campaign may be as much victims of the root cause as anyone else, and may be in a very limited position of making lasting change. It may also have the effect of making others in the region suffer because resources are directed to resolve the local campaign. So all it achieves is a shift of the problem from one area to another, immediately or over time.
If there were several groups within the region who had a common problem of something being affected by government cuts, they may be more effective by grouping together and sharing resources. It would also allow them to reach people in each other's areas who will be willing to support them. Although the number of initial supporters may remain the same, through presenting a singular front all organisations working under one umbrella create an illusion of a more established and wider supported cause. As the general public see the cause seemingly having more widespread support, they may be more willing to provide their support.
The campaign could be changed from concentrating on the closure of a few particular services, to the threat of closures all over the county – something which will appeal to more people.
Having wider support may enable them to target higher up the chain – in this example perhaps the county authorities – If their campaign is successful at this level then the effects will be enjoyed by a wider number of the county's society, which will in turn mean more people will be willing to support the combined organisation if they engage in other campaigns, or want to pursue their campaign higher up the pyramid.
Provided the organisations are willing to be sensible and reasonable with each other, and approach the campaign from the perspective of the wider cause, there is no reason why they should not be more effective and reach their original objective.
The sharing of resources could become an issue if one organisation has more of a particular resource than another. But if the advantage of wider exposure of support is factored in, this should not be a major point because all groups involved in the collective action will benefit – and have a better chance of success.
This concept of cooperation under a single objective can be scaled up to whatever level is needed to be effective and enhance chances of success The organisation of the 'collective' must be such that any internal problems can be resolved quickly and not have a negative effect on the public image.
So that is the overall concept without much detail, and there will be those who are able to bring in concepts and ideas along similar lines which could fill in the details of how this could be achieved and improved.
Imagine if all of the campaigning organisations who are concerned with the effects of government cuts came together as one force – whether campaigning about the closure of a local childcare facility, the lack of drugs available through the health service, welfare cuts, and every other cause and campaign which wants to bring about change so we have a society based on humanity and not profit.
We wonder how many supporters that would be. It could run into millions of people all involved in a cause that could make the government do something instead of paying lip-service.
If some of these people were mobilised to make the lives of those responsible for the corruption and societal slavery as difficult as possible, that would be quite something.
We would suggest that those in the current governments of the world are about as high up the pyramid as most organised causes would reach at the moment.
If that is so then the governments – especially the head of government and his or her cronies – should be a prime target for action.
Although peace, love, and understanding are all very well, there are times when tactics have to get dirtier so they have an effect on the target. Reasoning and diplomacy will not work – but neither will violence.
The message has to be delivered in a way that the target understands and can relate to. Most members of a government (unless you are very, very, lucky) are at the very least narcissistic and at worst full blown psychopaths. They always will put their own interests first.
So what to do?
First, work out what your target relates to most. It may be that they relate to their perceived power, financial wealth, and being accepted by others in more powerful positions with more wealth – which they want to be part of.
It is highly unlikely that they have any need at all to be accepted or liked by the public at large, because they just don't care or have any use for them in their objectives. The only time these kind of people will try and relate to the public is to maintain their own position – perhaps to get elected/re-elected.
They probably wouldn't care about their own family and would probably kill their own children if they thought it would be advantageous to their political career – not an exaggeration by any means.
Now we have an idea of their motivating factors:
- Perceived power
- Financial wealth
- Being accepted by their peers and those who they see as being more powerful than them
Many of them will already have considerable wealth – but there is never enough for them. The same is true of their perceived power – they can't get enough of it.
Whether you like it or not – it MUST get personal. The kind of people you will be up against have surrounded themselves with shields of people to deflect any potential campaign against them, and rely on the gang mentality of government to spread any potential fallout.
Know what motivates your target and dissolve any benefit to them. If possible, legally devalue their assets. If they gain significant income from their business interests, look at ways to significantly devalue them.
Look at their activities and look for things that would devalue them in the eyes of their peers and associates. There is no point in devaluing them in the eyes of the public because they won't care.
What they need to see is that there is more of a personal benefit to looking after the interests of the general public than not.
This may sound a little like a dirty tactic, but it is not. It is about connecting in the most effective way with those who can make the change happen, and in a way they understand.
This is where you need supporters who are dedicated to achieving the objective, and are strong enough to travel the rocky road to success. It is of no benefit to have supporters who come and go, or who see being involved just as something to do when they are bored. It takes committal.
Of course, the tactics used will depend on who your organisations target is, and it would be inappropriate to go into details here. But if you think about the objective no doubt there will be many cost effective ideas that will come to mind.
What you do not want to do is engage in any activity that is morally wrong or illegal. All this would achieve is alienating public support. In a way this is tough love. Sometimes you have to get tough for the sake of the greater good.
So to summarise for now:
- Join with other organisations to change the root cause
- Make sure your image and promotion appeals to the public and is inclusive
- Think about WHO is primarily responsible and get personal
- Make sure you have truly dedicated supporters
This is a general concept with a few ideas and we are not claiming that this is the way things MUST be done. But hopefully it will make you think about joining or collaborating with other organisations to make sure you have the best chance possible of support and making real and lasting change.

Best of the week that was: Carsen Edwards, Jordan Bohannon & Spartans make headlines
Schools celebrated Senior Days across the Big Ten, so emotions packed many arenas. It was an exciting week of action, as Michigan State clinched its first outright Big Ten title since 2009 and schools looked to polish NCAA resumes with the Big Ten tourney right around the corner.
Get the best of the week that was.
Biggest surprise: Michigan. The Wolverines closed the regular season with five wins in a row and seven in eight games. The lone loss? A confounding 61-52 defeat at Northwestern. Regardless, John Beilein's club is playing as well as any with Big Ten tourney set to begin.
Biggest disappointment: Penn State. The Nittany Lions had a chance to make a push toward consideration for an NCAA bid. Alas, Penn State fell flat by losing at home to Michigan, 72-63, on Wednesday and then losing at Nebraska on Sunday. Barring a miracle run to the Big Ten tourney title, Penn State will miss the NCAA tourney for the seventh season in a row.
Best win: Michigan 72, Penn State 63. It was a dominating victory on the road vs. a Nittany Lions squad that was desperate for a win over a ranked team to enhance its NCAA resume. It was Michigan's fourth win in a row. Ohio State's double OT triumph at Indiana on Friday was impressive, as well.
Best team: Michigan State. It has to be, right? The Spartans claimed their first outright Big Ten title since 2009 this past week, first beating Illinois to clinch a share of the crown, and then holding off Wisconsin to own the title themselves. Tom Izzo's team finishes the regular season with a 28-3 clip, including 16-2 in Big Ten play. Has there ever been a quieter 28-3 team?
Best player: Purdue's Carsen Edwards. The sophomore tallied a career-high 40 points on 11-of-19 shooting at Illinois, the first 40-point game for Purdue since Glenn Robinson scored 44 points in a victory against Kansas in the 1994 NCAA Tournament. Edwards also joined Illinois' Brandon Paul as the only Big Ten players to score 40 points in a conference game in the last 20 years. In the season finale vs. Minnesota, Edwards finished with 18 points, four rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals. As he's been all season, Edwards was simply sensational.
Best stat: 19 points in 96 seconds. How does one does such a thing?! Iowa's Isaiah Moss showed us how, stringing together the remarkable sequence at Minnesota on Thursday. It all started with 1:36 to play: 3-point play, jump shot, 3-pointer, 3-pointer, jump shot, 1 of 2 free throws, 2 of 2 from the line and another 3-pointer. Moss came into the night averaging 10.6 points per game and blew past his previous career-high 25 with room to spare.
Best stat line: Michigan's Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman. The underrated senior nearly flirted with a triple-double in Saturday's win at Maryland, registering a career-high 28 points, eight rebounds and seven assists; he added two blocks and one steal, for good measure.
Best moment: Iowa's Jordan Bohannon. All that separated Bohannon from an Iowa record Sunday night was one free throw. Having made 34 straight freebies, tying late Iowa icon Chris Street's program record, the sophomore star missed a free throw on purpose to keep Street's record intact. After the game, Bohannon said, "That's not my record to have. That record deserves to stay in his name."
Best shot: Ohio State's C.J. Jackson. Jackson drained a deep—and I mean DEEP—3-pointer with 3.1 seconds left to seal the Buckeyes' 80-78 double OT win Friday night at Indiana. Moments earlier, IU had taken a 78-77 lead.
Best dunk: Michigan's Jordan Poole. This guy's going to be fun to watch the next few years. The freshman posterized Penn State on a transition And-1 hammer. Poole was such a big fan of the finish, he found the camera under the basket and did his thing. Equally impressive was this James Palmer Jr. dunk vs. Penn State.
Best senior day moment: Michigan State seniors kiss midcourt logo. (Watch the full thing in the video at the top of the post.) It's a tradition like none other in the Big Ten. On Senior Night, the seniors, while leaving the court for the final time, kiss the Spartan logo at center court. Former Michigan State great Shawn Respert started the fun. The Spartans won the game, too, topping Illinois to clinch a share of the program's first Big Ten title since 2012, as a banner declaring such was raised to the rafters of the Breslin Center. Hey, why wait? MSU clinched its first outright Big Ten crown since 2009 with a win at Wisconsin on Sunday.
Best photo: Iowa's Jordan Bohannon. The Iowa sharpshooter visited with Chris Street's parents after tying their son's program free-throw record (34 straight) in Sunday's season-ending win. Bohannon, as mentioned above, missed a free throw on purpose to keep it Street's record.
Best tweet: Ohio State's Jae'Sean Tate & Iowa's Jordan Bohannon. Tate gave a stirring Senior Night speech on Tuesday that almost brought him to tears. Actually, it did bring him to tears, and his father called him out for it. Bohannon had the perfect response to keeping a cherished Iowa record intact Sunday night.
Best voice: Kim Garner shows off singing pipes. On Senior Night at Penn State on Wednesday, Shep Garner's mother belted out the National Anthem. And, it was a beautiful thing for a woman who is a professional jazz singer.
Did you see this? Brad Davison returns from shoulder injury. The freshman has had his left shoulder pop out of place several times this season, so he knows what to do and how to bounce back from it. It happened again in Sunday's loss vs. No. 2 Michigan State. Davison missed only seconds of action, before returning and hitting back-to-back deep jumpers. He didn't slow down the rest of the way, finishing with a career-high 30 points.

Location, location, location
November 2017
bigdog Creative Managing Partner, Cordell Burke, recently spoke to DNA Recruit in Campaign about the value location diversity can unlock for an ad agency and the benefits of moving beyond a London-centric worldview.
With four offices around the country – London, Norwich, Leicester and Birmingham – we're one of only a handful of UK agencies that can claim to be national. As a creative agency, we're characterised by London-centric principles and work with international clients but, because of our company history, the London office was never our centre of gravity. It's grown out of a need to service London clients, but not all clients are headquartered there.
For example, Aviva are our next-door-neighbours in Norwich. Our Leicester and Birmingham offices serve Midlands-based clients, like NEFF, and those in the north, in the same way. We pride ourselves on being geographically close to our clients, wherever they are.
Capital punishment?
Historically, London has always been seen as where the exciting work is, leading talent to naturally gravitate there. But, as it becomes increasingly costly to live in London, we're seeing increasing receptiveness towards looking at opportunities elsewhere.
That applies equally to brilliant graduates who might question the affordability of London at the start of their careers, as well as top London-based talent looking for a lifestyle change. Both groups are increasingly realising there are great agencies to work for outside the capital and that moving away from London no longer means moving away from the kind of top tier accounts they want to work on.
Choosing where to live and work is a major life choice, but there are great agencies all over the country producing work that's ended up in Cannes, D&AD or other national/international awards.
Looking beyond London
We've found that having a geographical spread works brilliantly for bigdog from a talent recruitment point of view as it makes it very easy for us to consider candidates from all over the UK. Our ambition is to attract the best talent, wherever they may be, and give them varied opportunities, including working out of whichever of our offices fits best for them.
What's key is to dispel the industry-wide myth that doing great work for big clients are London-only opportunities, it's just not true. And increasingly staff, particularly younger staff, appreciate being given a variety of location-related options to choose from. It's all about grabbing the best people as they become available, and making them aware of the range of opportunities that are out there.
A greater spread of talent
At the end of the day, there's no great secret to achieving a location-diverse workplace. Different working practices mean location diversity no longer simply means new offices. People can work remotely so easily now. And we regularly implant people in clients' offices. They often work out of ours too – it's all about close collaboration and cementing those relationships.
Our structure and history made location diversity a natural evolution for bigdog, and now, it's about meeting client needs. Stay close to your clients, ideally close enough that a face-to-face is always possible within the hour, and take all the steps necessary to attract the very best talent available with an even spread across all your locations.
All types of diversity are important and diversity applies as much to location as it does to other factors. In advertising, it's particularly important to have staff that reflect the landscape that you're trying to reach. Sex, age, class, ethnicity, location – diversity across all these areas is important and if you can achieve variety in your team, you stand a far better chance of producing great, ground-breaking work.

Brain Games And Brain Training – Any Differences?
In short, the answer is yes. There are differences between brain games and brain training.
It's very much like doing a couple of sit ups compared to going to the gym and following the regimen specified by your trainer. This does not mean that brain games do not have their uses. They do.
But to get the full benefits of optimal brain activity, you want to have a more rigorous program defined that keeps you on track.
Of course, it will not hurt to start with playing games that you love. Many people love to do crossword puzzles and do them without even giving it much thought that it could be helping their brains. If you believe that keeping your brain active will keep it healthier later in life, then doing crossword puzzles frequently is a good activity to engage in.
If you are not into them, you should consider puzzle games.
These types of games will get you to focus on problem solving. There is some belief that pathways created in our brain from the result of solving problems can help to reinforce the brain's capacity. (Note: Not all scientific studies are in agreement with this conclusion though.)
Do you tend to be more analytical?
Then, you may want to focus on quizzes and other games like trivia. These games can challenge your knowledge. Repeated use and practice of them will enhance your learning, at least in the subjects that you choose to quiz yourself on.
The last group of games that you could participate in are ones where you need to think ahead in order to solve the puzzle or problem at hand. Sudoku and chess are great examples of these types of games. Chess requires the projection of several moves in advance.
Brain training offers a more formal approach than brain games.
Here, you are given a curriculum and you are requested to perform brain exercises, including brain games. The training is often structured for each individual. The idea is for you to find the right approach that meets your individual needs.
Remember, the motives of many brain training companies are to make a profit.
Although companies have the right to make money, make sure the companies you are considering are legitimate. Ask a lot of questions and try to seek the advice of others who experienced these programs.
Otherwise, you may end up paying exorbitant amount of fees and receive little to no benefits to your brain. Even if you decide not to enroll in any program, if you enjoy playing games, feel free to participate in any free brain games that you may find. It's a relatively healthy way for leisure than most games anyway!

Taking Back Emotional Wellness/
Mental health and emotional health have a direct effect on all areas of your life-including your spiritual growth progress and physical health. Think about it for a second… Think of some people in your life that you know who are always stressed, always have some kind of semi-crisis situation, drama, or problem in their life. Are they sick fairly often? Do they seem to not ever be fully at ease or genuinely peaceful and happy? I can think of several people in my life that fit that description. Now, think of some more laid back, happy people that you know. The kind of people who never seem to get very worked up over anything. Not that they are slackers or apathetic, but they just almost always seem to be at peace and genuinely happy. They aren't sick very often are they? Like Proverbs says:
A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a broken spirit saps a person's strength.
Proverbs 17:22 (NLT)
Now, let me say this, we are NOT psychologists. We are NOT doctors or licensed counselors. However, we are aware of and in pursuit of habits that maintain good mental and emotional health. It is our hope that in this space, we can share some wisdom with you as we all grow. So, to start off this discussion, let's establish this:
I once walked into Karen Jensen Salisbury's office when I was a student at Bible college. A normally happy, go lucky girl, yet I was on the brink of sobbing. Out of frustration, I proceeded to tell her how much I hated having emotions and how dumb I thought emotions were. She explained to me that God created emotions and that the Jewish people in the Bible (God's chosen people, through whom would come His rescue plan for all of humanity) were HIGHLY emotive. Today we would call them extremely emotional and maybe even slightly crazy. They would literally RIP their clothes when they were grieved, put ashes on their head when in mourning, and go around the city WAILING. Emotional much? But you wanna know the crazy part? God was not scared away by their "drama". This conversation with her (and some good, solid Biblical counsel that she offered) has forever changed my outlook on emotions and helped me embrace the gift of emotions and process them in a healthy way.
Learning to process emotions in a healthy way
will benefit every part of your life.
Here are some very basic healthy emotional habits to help jumpstart your growth and healing
1. Talk to God about it
God REALLY does care about your emotions. Really. Read through the Psalms. Many of them were written by David (a man after God's own heart) and they are highly emotional. Here's the key though, David took his emotions to God, talked about them, cried about them, whatever, and THEN he reminded his emotions WHO God is. David didn't get stuck wallowing in his emotions. The really emotional Psalms are finished off with exclamations of how big God is, and how faithful He is to his promises. David dealt with his emotions in a REALLY healthy way.
2. Recognize where that emotion is coming from, and deal with it accordingly
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy;
I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
John 10:10 (NIV)
God is good, God does good, and he is for your good.
Fear is not from God. Worry is not from God. Self-hate and feeling not good enough are not from God. Ultimately these types of emotions originate from Satan. Check yourself before you wreck yourself.
3. Talk to a trusted friend
I read a quote from Holly Furtick on Instagram where she said to be "Always authentic but selectively vulnerable" I think that's even more important in today's world where you can quite literally put all your personal bidness out there for the whole world to see. Be authentic. Don't pretend to be something or someone that you are not, but be selective about who you share your hurts and struggles with. Social media should not be your journal nor your go-to for venting or counseling.
4. Journal
Speaking of journaling… Journaling is a HUGELY helpful tool. Something powerful and freeing happens when you write out your thoughts. Journaling can help bring clarity and perspective. It also helps you to clear your headspace so you can focus on the root of the problem, rather than just the emotional fruit.
5. Get quality, Christian counseling
I am a HUGE proponent of quality, Christian counseling, of seeking therapy from trained professionals who will look to the Word of God to help give you guidance. I really wish there was not such a negative stigma around getting counseling. It's an amazing tool and one that I have personally benefitted from greatly.
6. Take inventory of your habits
Poor health, poor diet, and poor sleep habits will affect your emotional health. More and more, scientists are realizing that what you put in your body affects more than just your waistline. Your diet affects your emotions and mental health as well. Junk in- junk out.
Poor sleep habits (read: not enough sleep or sleeping at the wrong times) inhibits your ability to judge what is important, leaving you overly emotional about everything. A nap or a great night's sleep and great sleep habits can cure MANY emotional woes.
This is by no means an exhaustive discussion on how to maximize your mental and emotional health, but we hope that it gets you thinking and moving in the right direction. Taking care of your heart and your emotional well-being is YOUR responsibility.

Counter Culture for Titus and Today/
L. Timothy Swinson
Walk into most churches today, and you'll find customized programs based on age, gender and family life. We tend to think people need to be relegated into groups for tailored instruction on faith.
That's why Paul's commands in Titus 2 about instructing different groups seem practical and applicable in our modern context. These particular commands to the people of Crete seem like good models of faith we'd also want to adhere to. But perhaps there's more to his instructions than we might think.
Use a Bible Dictionary for Background Knowledge
Paul precedes his instruction to Titus by saying, "One of the Cretans, a prophet of their own, said, 'Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.' This testimony is true" (1:12–13). What prophet would describe his own people so harshly? To understand the situation that Paul is addressing, we need to consult a resource like The Anchor-Yale Bible Dictionary. In the article on "Titus," we learn that Paul is quoting Cretan poet Epimenides. Paul uses the "prophet's" words in a time of crisis. "This is why I left you in Crete," Paul tells Titus, "so that you might put what remained into order" (1:5).
Given the immoral nature of the predominant culture, we see that Paul is establishing a contrast between those who follow various Cretan teachings, based on "Jewish myths and commands of people who turn away from truth," and those whose behavior is based on sound teaching (1:14). Paul states that some Cretans "profess to know God, but they deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work" (1:16).
At the beginning of his letter, Paul urges his co-laborer to appoint elders for the churches in Crete so that they may "give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it" (1:5–9). He reaffirms this in Titus 2:1: "But as for you, teach what accords with sound doctrine." He goes on to describe behavior based on sound doctrine and offers instructions for groups of older men and women, younger men and women, and slaves (2:2–10). Titus himself is warned to guard his own manner of living, serving as an example of one who does good and who teaches with integrity, sobriety and gracious speech (2:7–8). Find Common Themes by Consulting a Commentary
If we focus too much on the roles Paul addresses, we might miss his point altogether. Rather than prescribing conduct based on people's place in society, Paul is concerned with the conduct of all who profess the name of Jesus. Paul does not make comparisons, nor does he set one group against another. While his instructions for each group differ, their overall tenor is quite similar.
Consulting The New American Commentary on 1-2 Timothy and Titus, we learn that Paul repeatedly encourages all groups to practice self-control. He often uses the phrase "so that" to emphasize the crux of his admonitions: The visible character and conduct of believers affects how others—presumably those who are not yet believers—perceive "sound doctrine." Thus, conduct and character that "accord with sound doctrine" have the power to commend or "adorn the doctrine of God our Savior" (2:10).
Look at the Surrounding Text
Paul's concerns are also reflected in the behavior described in Titus 2:1–10. Titus 2:11 begins with "For," indicating that this passage likely continues Paul's line of thought and provides the justification for his previous instruction. Paul goes on to describe the effects of the grace of God, which brings "salvation for all people" (2:11). Titus is to instruct the community to live in a way that commends the message of salvation to everyone.
Paul's lesson doesn't remain locked in the first century, nor is it confined to Crete. As the modern church, we should consider the character we exhibit through our words, our works and even our habits of thought. Our behavior is important not because of how others will see us, but because it shapes how others see "the doctrine of God our Savior" (2:10).

Jesse King
Nation: Waanyi-Gangalidda
Jesse is a former teacher who is now CSIRO's Senior Coordinator in the Inquiry for Indigenous Science students program, a part of CSIRO's Indigenous STEM project. In his current role, he develops and delivers Professional Development and Resources for Indigenous context hands-on Science Inquiry for schools linked to the curriculum. This involves working with communities to source, secure and share non-secret and non-sacred traditional knowledges.
Jesse says, "Good science inquiry aligns with Indigenous ways of doing and being as well as the collaborative ways of doing things differently."
In our SSiSTEMIK program, Jess will showcase current best practice for the use of Indigenous Knowledges in education. This will involve a hands-on investigation to clearly demonstrate the links and processes that go into developing solid educational curriculum activities.
He says he's passionate about STEM because,
"I want our mob to be represented, we have a lot to offer as the longest living sustainable culture on the planet. We need to strengthen the Indigenous knowledges in STEM education. We're going to need to have different skills sets – now to forge our pathways for the future of all Australians and the world. Everything that Indigenous people are and do is perfectly aligned with the STEM space. It's in our nature to work with people, to solve problems and to do what's best for our survival. That's what the world needs more of and that's how we've survived to be here today."
IN THE CIRCLE with Jesse King
Jesse is one of our expert presenters for the inaugural SSiSTEMIK program on the 6-7th of August 2018 and the 10-11th of September 2018.

UK services PMI dropped from 51.2 to 50.1, below consensus forecasts and the lowest print for 2.5 years. The new orders dipped into contraction territory. Employment figures printed a modest decline for the first time in over six years with political uncertainty contributing to negative effects. Sterling dropped lower, falling below 1.3000 against the Dollar, which then triggered further short-term selling.
Theresa May announced talks with EU Commission President Juncker and EU Council head Tusk on Thursday. There has been no evidence of any Brexit breakthrough and Conservative Party tensions have increased further. Sterling hit lows around 1.2930 against the Dollar before stabilising while the Euro peaked around 1.1340 before fading. Reports emerged that the government has made plans to prolong Article 50 by eight weeks.
The US ISM non-manufacturing index declined to 56.7 for January from 58.0 the previous month and slightly below consensus forecasts. There was still solid growth across all main components and there was a stronger pace of increases in prices, a notable contrast to the manufacturing release. The PMI services sector reading was confirmed at a four-month low of 54.2 with input prices rising at the slowest pace for twenty-two months while companies looked to increase margins.
The IBD consumer confidence index declined to 50.3 from 52.3 previously and the lowest reading since October 2017. Although there were reservations over potential consumer spending, the data overall was strong enough to maintain expectations of US out-performance. The Dollar maintained a firm overall tone with the EURUSD rate testing 1.1400. The rate traded just below this level in early Europe on Wednesday as the US currency also advanced against commodity currencies.
Despite a strong reading for Spanish PMI numbers, the wider Eurozone PMI figures did nothing to curb fears of the region's growth. Italian services have fallen into contraction but bond yields have declined.
Some European Central Bank (ECB) policymakers are reportedly disinclined to change the forward guidance on interest rates beyond the third quarter, as it would have an impact on the next ECB President's term. Versus the Dollar, the Euro continued its downward trajectory from a high of 1.1500 since last Thursday.
Data today is very minimal, German factory orders and French industrial investment being the only two releases in the Eurozone.

Cerberus 2 Memory Requirements & Player Slots
- Memory Guideline
To avoid lag or memory errors, order a minimum of 3GB of memory. If you are playing with friends or planning on hosting a public server consider ordering 4GB or more. You won't know your exact requirements until you start building and getting more players on. Don't worry you can quickly upgrade your memory as your server grows. Follow this guide if you need to upgrade.
- Recommended Max Players is our best guess on how many slots gives good performance per GigaByte of memory. It relates to how many players can join before running into lag or out-of-memory errors. Newer servers with lots of mods/plugins will have less players per GB, you won't know exactly how many players until your server gets busy. You have Unlimited Slots, set this in the control panel, use your slots wisely. It's a guideline not set in bedrock!

How to remove (uninstall) Search.manroling.com
This entry is devoted to an adware called Search.manroling.com and methods to remove it. If you see lots of ads on each website, and the efficiency of the PC has greatly diminished - this material will help you find out what adware is, identify the primary issue and clean the machine of undesired software.
Adware includes a fairly long list of miscellaneous species, but the most known of them are adware, redirects and browser toolbars. You have to understand that they are noy the fine programs that advertise other reliable software - they were created to generate tons of ads. Fraudsters try really hard to urge customers that suchlike tools are good: they describe them very well and promise awesome efficiency and advantage. What do these utilities really do?
- Browser toolbars also perform advertising functions, but less actively than the previous two species of adware. Their main function is to pick information about victim's search queries and viewed web-pages, which are then passed on to scammers for further usage. Suchlike data is of significant value for any advertising organization.
- Usual adware is known because of endless spam with various pop-ups, ads and banners. Web-criminals are trying to make adware seem decent, so it can be masked as one of many reliable programs for web-browsing, data archiving, text redacting, etc. Advertising appears as pop-ups, separate units in the browser or links.
- Contamination with a hijacker calls another type of problem. Instead of pop-ups they redirect the users to the malicious web-sites. These utilities help the foul website owners to create traffic and lowers the protection level of user's machine.
All these software in conjunction and any of them can be used for various types of advertising cheating. Despite the difference in ways, they are all similar by the thing that they were originally created for scam and deception. By the way, since all adware is trying to make you to click on links to unknown and often malicious sites, they invite other viruses to penetrate the computer.
Now, when you understood for what purpose was Search.manroling.com, we will tell you how to locate it. The biggest and the most perilous symptom of adware is the extremely high amount of pop-ups. Another attribute is the appearance of additional programs in the system that you haven't downloaded. This happens when user passes each link that adware shows, viewing the strange sites and installing programs from there. These tools act stealthy so you might not realize that you just installed them.
Another property is a heavy lag of the computer, and an increase in the boot time of the system. Deceleration of computer's performance is not only the result of virus, but this happens very often. The system slows down because any adware is working endlessly and never turns off. It means that virus is launching at system boot and turning off only when the PC stops working. When the number of adware comes to the critical point, their simultaneous running starts to overload the system, and demands so many resources that reliable programs simply can't run. When the system is in such state, it suffers from deceleration, fatal errors of basic programs and trouble shutdowns. If you witness any of these attributes - you need to check the PC via good antiviral tool or remove all malicious programs by hand.
Methods to remove Search.manroling.com
Method 1. Use special removal software
Method 2. Remove Search.manroling.com manually
Step 1. Uninstall Search.manroling.com from the operation system
Step 2. Remove Search.manroling.com from the browser (Google Chrome/Mozilla Firefox/IE/Opera/Safari)
If you are MAC user, follow this guide How to remove virus from MAC
If you had enough of advertising on the Web and of nuisance from other symptoms of infection with Search.manroling.com, you need to eliminate Search.manroling.com immediately. In current case it's not only about deleting Search.manroling.com, but also about massive cleaning of PC. The elimination can be performed in manual manner, however this way will take some time and might be not successful. Search.manroling.com and other unwanted tools do as much as possible to guard themselves from deletion and make it as complex as it can be. Adware stores backups everywhere on HDD, hide their main folders, leave scheduled installation tasks after uninstalling etc. If you are not expert enough in such matters, the chance of failure and following difficulties is extremely high. If you want to do it the safe way, we recommend you to download Spyhunter AntiMalware. This program can quickly and accurately remove any adware from the computer, but also defend it from threats in after years. Spyhunter has a number of qualities, among which are 24/7 technical support, high speed of scanning and removal, daily updates of the viral database, modest price and interaction with well-known antiviral tools.

Incredibly, it's a true story (or at least an AP wire story):
WINTER HAVEN, Fla. (AP) — A dispute at the salad bar turned into a food fracas at an upscale retirement home, with a man taking a bite out of another's arm and other residents suffering minor injuries.
Police said resident Lee Thoss, 62, of the Spring Haven Retirement Community was picking through the lettuce, which disgusted 86-year-old William Hocker, who was standing in line behind him.
Hocker told Thoss no one wanted to eat food he had been playing with. Thoss yelled and cursed at him, Hocker told police, and Hocker called him a nasty name. Then, witnesses said, Thoss then began punching Hocker in the face.
In the buffet melee that followed, Allen Croft, 79, tried to grab Thoss, who bit him on the arm, reports said.
Thoss' mother, Arlene, in her 80s and also a Spring Haven resident, jumped in to break up the fight and ended up with a cut arm.

Measure it and it will get better. It is a common mantra in business and it is true. True, undoubtedly, if what you are measuring is meaningful. No less critical, in fact, more critical is what data is measured. Otherwise, I think we can all agree the results may be useless, or even dangerous, driving decisions that actually damage businesses. Narrow online surveys are excellent examples. So are the post-customer service surveys we are often asked to complete after what has been a painful, excuse my directness, infuriating experience dealing with a customer service call center. Oh, one longs for the days when a sassy telephone operator like Lily Tomlin answered your phone. At least that was comedic.
Rate something on a scale of one to five, or one to ten. Fill in a bubble. Provide a number. No nuance. Often meaningless or irrelevant questions, or at least meaningless or irrelevant relative to your personal experience. I do not mean to be a skeptic, but who in the world is interpreting that data at the phone and cable companies? And, haven't we often heard that research can be manipulated to deliver whatever outcome desired? Let's be honest, if research is genuinely intended to provide data to glean insights to foster improvement, is a one-fits-all approach the best way to do it? Or, the most expeditious and economical? My apologies for the cynicism.
Imagine a personalized approach! Better yet, imagine an organization that values feedback so much that it is as important in the P & L as getting your cost of goods sold right. Imagine an organization that does this at all points in the value chain. I am not a gambler, but I would bet that organizations that truly value research regardless of cost are the most successful ones in the marketplace.
A company I did some work with called Moving Mentor out of Amherst, Massachusetts does remarkable personalized research to determine the best course of action to help elderly people who are facing life changing choices such as moving from their home; their castle, to a continuing care facility, a strange unknown environment, many with both positive and negative reputations. When introduced to a potential client they actually spend the time to visit them in their homes. They often say very little, ask few questions and spend most of their time listening and observing the client and their surroundings. This practice of listening and observation reaps remarkable personalized information that enables Moving Mentor to prepare a plan for their client that actually helps them make the best decision for themselves. And, guess what, it takes time, energy and money to do this. Are you listening cable and wireless companies? Better yet, political pollsters, are you listening, observing, spending the time at your expense to gather data that is truly meaningful? I do not wish to be painting anyone with a broad brush, but when employee and customer churn rates never really diminish, especially if you do research as a regular part of doing business, doesn't it make you scratch your head?
At GIF, we have enormous respect for the right kind of research and we would encourage every enterprise to think about it from day one, maybe even before day one. For us, baseline market research is mandatory; rhythmic follow up equally important; personal observations and skilled listening at the end user level no less so. We know that the enterprises that do this; make it part of their DNA are likely to succeed. These are the types of enterprises we love to support.

"I really enjoyed your book and was drawn in from the first page."
Relevant Studios
A beautiful story of faith, and of the love and help that only God can bring to those who are captive. About 2/3 of the way through, I was struck by the realization that the Holy Spirit was moving, that He wanted to speak to women through the deep Biblical teachings (that many Christians don't get from their Bibles, unless they read them enough) and through the Scripture verses, and the mature Christian prayers. (in your book.) I really enjoyed your book and was drawn in from the first page.

Tech Shootings Dominate Talk Shows
The Virginia Tech shootings were topic A on the cable and radio talk shows last week.
According to the Pew talk Show index for April 15-20, the massacre took up 63% of the talkers' airtime, just beating the 61% of the previous week's airtime devoted to the Imus firing, which only registered as a blip (3%) last week.
Another shooting, at NASA, got the second-largest percentage of talk time, though at only 5%, tied with Alec Baldwin's voice mail. Next was policy debates about Iraq (4%); the partial-birth abortion decision (4%); the fired attorneys (3%); Imus; "events in Iraq (2%), the presidential campaign (1%), and immigration (1%).
The Pew index is derived from its News Coverage Index and is a content analysis of seven prime time cable shows and five talk hosts.

What's Standing Between You and Your Goals?
Dream big, they tell us. But that's only half the story. Science shows that our positive fantasies, on their own, don't actually lead to success.

Well, dream on dreamer, because now there's a new strategy that people can use to actually make their wishes reality. It's called WOOP and it stands for Wish Outcome Obstacle Plan. Start with the wish, visualize the outcome, analyze the obstacle within yourself that stands in your way, and make a plan to overcome it. So whether it's hitting your sales goal, starting a professional development plan or simply running your first 5K...WOOP it up!
