Audio Transcript Today we're going to talk about doubt. Now in the little bubble that is Twitter and the internet, in parts of it there has been a conversation occurring about doubt and how we should talk about it. Should we say that it's a sin? Should we comfort the doubters? All these things. I think in part, oftentimes we've been seeing half of the truth, half of the full response that's needed. Really what I want to try to do today is look at this from multiple angles.
I'm not someone who's unacquainted with doubt. I've shared my personal story in the past, but while I grew up in church, I went there two or three times a week, I was there for the services, I knew a good bit of my Bible. I would say looking back, I didn't necessarily know how it all fit together very well, but nonetheless, I had a better opportunity than most to come to understand and believe the truths of Christianity.
But by the time I got to college and was in college, I was basically dead in the water, spiritually speaking. If you'd asked me, and if I'd been honest in replying, if I thought God existed or if I thought he was good, I would have probably told you no I didn't. I didn't see how the existence of God made more sense than his nonexistence. I didn't see how, if he existed, he could possibly be good with what was revealed in the Bible, and I didn't think the resurrection made a lot of sense either. You could say I had some doubts at the very least. I'm not unacquainted with this.
On the flip side of that, as someone who worked through that by the grace of God, I'm very thankful for that, I now have walked with and walked with people who experience doubts. I want to talk today, to the person who is struggling with doubt, and also to the person who is working with those, and talking and walking with those who struggle with doubt. At points, it may seem like I'm saying contradictory things, but I'm not intending to. What I'm intending to do is address each person specifically and individually, and we'll come out with a view of what the whole outlook should be.
Now before we proceed, I think it's really important to define our terms, because oftentimes when we talk about doubt, different people mean different things. (I have a doubt as to if we are in fact talking about the same thing sometimes.) When I talk about doubt, I'm not just talking about questions. I think sometimes people will put questions in the category of doubt, and they could be, but I don't know that that's always the best and most direct way to talk about it. Because a question might be, "Well what did Paul mean when he spoke of women not prophesying with their head uncovered?" What does that mean? That's not a doubt, that's saying, "I don't know this thing." I think a doubt is more likely to be, "I'm not so sure that's true. I'm not so sure about that thing," or maybe a stronger version would be, "I don't think that's true. A little bit of me believes that, but I don't think that's true." That's more of a doubt.
I think oftentimes a doubt, more specifically is going to be in response to something that has been revealed. There are things we are not going to have certainty on, that have not been very well revealed to us. For example, there's one verse where Paul makes mention of baptism for the dead, and it's like okay, what is he talking about there? Is he saying we should do this? Is he saying people did do this? What on earth is happening? That's something we're not going to have nearly as much confidence in. We might doubt our understanding of more then something like the resurrection. But I think really it's not so much a doubt as it is a question. What does that mean? That's different than saying, "The Bible clearly teaches the resurrection of Jesus, and I'm not so sure about that." That's a doubt, the former is a question and there's a fuzzy overlap in the middle, but I hope walking through that maybe gives us a little bit of a framework to think through.
You know what's interesting? Some people have said multiple things about doubt. For instance: where there's certainty there's no room for faith, so doubt actually strengthens our faith. I think if that's the direction someone's coming at this from, that's dangerous because faith is not a way of knowing, faith is trust in what has been revealed or in the person who has revealed it, namely God in Christ, and so we can have certainty and strong faith.
Isn't it interesting that the apostles had what you might say is some of the strongest faith we've seen after the resurrection, and when they encountered the risen Lord, and they had certainty, they saw him, they touched him, they watched him eat fish, and that drove their conviction with their ministry, they had certainty and strong faith. There are people out there who will pit those things against each other. I don't think that's helpful. Some people also will say that, "Well if you didn't have faith, you wouldn't actually be doubting." I think that's dangerous. Jesus criticizes people for their lack of faith, and then goes on to say, "Why are you doubting?" In James, James is talking of the person who's going through trials and who would ask of God, and he says, "But he must ask in faith, without doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave on the sea, blown and tossed around by the wind." We actually have doubt and faith juxtaposed here, set in opposition to each other. These are not the same thing, they're opposite ends of a spectrum in some ways.
Now I think we can cash this out, where there's some nuance there. For instance, I may have some doubts, but I am still going to act in faith, in trust. But if I had much more trust, I would have less doubts. I think of a little child who's about to jump off of a table into her daddy's arms, and so does she have a doubt that he's going to catch her? No. Now she may, she may at some point be a little tentative, and she may still jump. She might have some doubt like, "Oh, this is uncomfortable, I'm not so sure," but she still acts in trust. The stronger your faith, the less doubts you have. They are on a continuum together. They are opposite ends in some way, of the continuum. The person who has massive doubt is not going to trust that thing that they're doubting.
When I come to an old bridge walking through the woods, and that thing looks if I stood on that, especially after my holiday eating, I'm might fall through, I'm not going to walk on the bridge. I've got doubts, I do not exhibit trust in the bridge. On the other hand, I might come to something in the woods and it's shiny and it's stainless steel. Gosh, that thing looks like you could drive a tank over it. I have no doubts and so I act in trust, not much trust, and I walk across the bridge.
All of this to say, the Bible nowhere presents doubt as a good thing. It doesn't. It never says, "You should doubt." It says in Jude, to rescue those who are doubting, to have mercy on those who doubt, to snatch others out of the fire, the fire of probably doubt and temptation and bad beliefs and things like that, but never does it commend doubt. Never does it commend skepticism. We shouldn't encourage people to doubt, and this should help those of us who currently do not struggle with doubt, and how we approach those who do. We do not need to encourage them in their doubts, we need to encourage them to work through them. We don't need to condemn that person, certainly not, and we'll talk a little bit about how Jesus and scripture talks to those who are doubting, but nonetheless, we have to start with the affirmation that doubt is not a good thing.
There are many things in life that are not good. That's not picking on someone. Some people in this conversation online about doubt right now, do not want to say doubt is bad because they don't want to alienate the doubter. Well what if we apply that same reasoning in other places? Should we not say to the person who's a murderer, "murdering is bad." Well we don't want to offend that person. See, that logic doesn't work. We can tell someone that, "What you're doing is bad, or what you're experiencing is not good, and let's help you work through it." In fact to say, "You know what? I've been there. I've been in that situation. I know that that situation feels horrible. I don't want you to go through what you're going through." But some people today actually encourage others to stay in their doubts. They think doubt and skepticism is a good place to live intellectually and emotionally. It's not. The Bible commends trust, active trust, being convinced. God revealed himself and his word so that we could know. In some ways, doubt is a refusal to believe what God has said.
Now is that always a conscious choice? Like, "Well God said this. Oh, i don't like that. I'm going to refuse to believe that." No, a lot of times, the thing we believe and do not believe aren't as much consciously chosen. We don't just see beliefs out there on a platter and say, "Oh, I like that one and that one, and I'm going to pass on that one." No, we don't so much choose our beliefs in that direct of a way, but we can choose our beliefs in some ways: We can work towards a belief in something. That's the question when we walk with someone who's doubting, how are we going to encourage them to work through their doubts? Or as Tim Keller has said, "Are we going to encourage them to doubt their doubts?" Are we going to help them work through their questions? We should not alienate the person who's doubting, not at all, but we must start from the affirmation that doubt is not a good thing.
Now to the person who's doubting, like I said, I've been there, I understand. It's interesting, when we look at Jesus talk with the doubters, more often than not, he's not affirming doubt's a good thing, he doesn't say, "Oh, you should be comfortable where you're at," but what he does is he has mercy on them. I think of Thomas. After the resurrection, Thomas basically says, "Unless I touch his hands and his feet and his side, and feel the holes, I'm not going to believe." Some have read this passage and said, "Well see, Jesus is good with doubt because he actually reveals himself and lets Thomas touch him." I think we have to be careful here because just because Jesus condescended and indulged Thomas in doubt, that doesn't mean the doubt was a good thing. What it means is Jesus is a merciful savior.
This actual application for both groups of people we're talking about today, those who are doubting and those who are working through their doubts is that Jesus is a merciful savior, Jesus understands how we are. He created us, he knows how sin has affected our minds, and ultimately I do think doubt can be sin. If God has revealed himself and we refuse to believe him at his word, that's sin, but you know what? There's forgiveness in Christ.
I think of all the examples of sinners who came to Christ, whether it was their doubt or their sexual sin or their theft, or all of those things, he had mercy on those people. There is repentance available for everything, but behind this is also this idea that sin is not always something that's consciously chosen. We have sinful desires that come out of us, that we don't immediately control, and yet they're still sinful. Scripture has no concept of for something to be sin, it must be consciously and willfully chosen.
We're guilty in Adam of sin that we didn't commit. Like I mentioned a minute ago, we have hate and anger and things that come out of us, that yes we're responsible for, but in the moment, we don't always choose. I think it's the same way with doubt. Due to living in a fallen world and being fallen people and all of those things, doubt can occur, but the question is how are we going to respond.
For the person who walks with the doubter, as Jude says, are you going to have mercy and walk with them, and snatch them from the fire? Because we realize that what people believe is actually really important. Your beliefs about Jesus and his work on the cross are the most important things you could have beliefs about. They're the most import things that you need to work through your doubts on. For those who are doubting, read the picture of Jesus in scripture. Understand how faith and doubt is talked about, and understand that the Lord who died on the cross, (which maybe something you're struggling with doubting, I've been there) but that same person can have mercy on you for your doubt.
But I've also been there like I said, and I know it's an uncomfortable place to live. In some ways, the existential pain, the angst of working through beliefs that seem to be crumbling, it's worse than physical suffering in some ways. Your whole framework for understanding the world might be breaking and falling apart, but don't stay there. Don't just wallow in that, and don't choose your beliefs based on what you like. Don't choose the direction you're going to set down based on what feels good, but sit done and try to find out what is true.
I had to do that. I had to stop living with the tension of teaching a Bible study, playing in the band at church, and yet believing that all of this stuff didn't make a lick of sense. I had to say, "I can't live like this," so I read non-Christians who made a case for their Atheism, and I read actual good, intellectual Christians who made a case for Christianity, and I realized that in spite of not liking things about Christianity (and I don't think that's a good thing to not like the truth) I came to determine that Christianity was true. I needed to be honest enough with myself and those around me to actually believe what was true in spite of how I felt.
That is what we need to encourage people to do if we're walking with the doubters. If we are the doubter, we need to take our doubt seriously. Why wouldn't we doubt our doubts too? Why wouldn't we look at what other people have had to say, and analyze the evidence? Do the due diligence that you deserve. As someone created in the image of God, what you believe is really important and your emotional and spiritual health is important, so do the work, read, study, find someone who will walk with you, maybe someone who's been through that before and has perspective and who 1), isn't going to coddle you and your doubt, but 2), is going to have mercy and walk with you in love on that.
Both responses are necessary, both understandings of doubt are necessary. One, it's not a good thing, but two, we should work through it and likely we'll need to be honest enough with ourselves to say that the things that our mind is struggling to believe perhaps, our heart doesn't like. Often that's where this starts. That's where it started for me. I didn't like certain things, and so they started to appear like they did not make sense. I think when we walk with people who doubt, we have to be in tune with that too.
But one last thing to the people who shepherd others and who walk with people who doubt. Questions are not necessarily doubts, and even of they are, we don't need to villainize people. I can't tell you how many people I've talked with who had questions in high school, and were shunned. "Oh well, you just need to believe. You just need to have faith." That sort of response is not helpful. I think of Jesus' response to Thomas, and this is someone who had walked with Jesus, so it's not this idea that just someone sight unseen said, "Well hmm, is that Jesus?" No, Thomas really wanted to touch him. I think that's an extreme standard of proof, and nonetheless, Jesus walked with him through that. We need to be willing to do the same. Don't demonize those who doubt. Have mercy on them, walk through them with love, just like the lord did.
Questions are something to be answered, not shunned. When someone says, "Well how does it make sense that science says the Earth is 4.54 billion years old, and yet Christians say it's 6000 years old? How does that make sense? Aren't we wrong?" Don't just shun that person, sit down. Maybe you need to do some research yourself, but walk with them through that. That's a discipleship opportunity for them, and honestly, for you.
In summary, wrapping this up, doubt's not a good thing, but we don't demonize those who doubt. Questions are different than doubt. Saying, "What does that mean?" Is different than saying, "I don't believe that," or, "I'm not so sure that's true." But be not mistaken, the more we're convinced, the stronger our trust will be, and so for the person who's struggling, work through that, you'll end up with a stronger trust in Jesus. For the person who's walking with someone, help them work through that, they'll end up with a stronger trust in Jesus.

Ephemeral storage
Some Pouta virtual machine [flavors] have ephemeral storage in addition to a root disk. This works as additional storage for the duration of the instance. This storage is not saved with the instance. This storage does not get saved when you create a snapshot of an image. It is not copied along with resizes or migrations. It is especially important to note regarding the io.* flavors that the storage is based on RAID0 arrays optimized for performance, providing no redundancy whatsoever.
For a detailed explanation of ephemeral storage (and other storage options), you can see [the storage concepts] section in the OpenStack user guide.
The ephemeral storage is visible as an additional disk to the virtual machine (usually /dev/vdb). You will need to format and mount it first before you can use it:
sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/vdb
sudo mount /dev/vdb /mnt
You will also need to add an entry to the /etc/fstab file on the machine to make sure the disk gets mounted after a reboot:
sudo umount /mnt/
sudo e2label /dev/vdb EPHEMERAL
sudo echo "LABEL=EPHEMERAL /mnt ext4 defaults,nofail 0 2 " >> /etc/fstab
sudo mount /mnt
Some legacy flavors (tiny, mini, small, medium, large, fullnode) also contained an ephemeral disk, which was preformatted and mounted automatically.

Me and casseroles are BFF's. They are perfect for the busy season and they can feed a small army. But this casserole is one that will go down in the history book as one of my favorite casseroles. EVER! I couldn't believe how amazing my first bite was. And the pockets of ooey gooey cheese in every bite. I just couldn't get enough!
The flavors in this casserole were incredible. A simple marinara sauce is combined with fresh grape tomatoes and basil. These simple flavors combined give this casserole and out of the world taste. Oh but don't forget about the mozzarella cheese cubes in this casserole. The cheese is insane in this casserole. So much goodness in each and every bite. Can you see why it became a family favorite? I am sure that this will become a favorite in your family too!
- 1 Pound Chicken, cooked cubed (about 2 large chicken breasts)
- 1 pound pasta (Rigatoni or Penne work great)
- 2 cups of your favorite Marinara Sauce
- ¼ Heavy Cream
- 1 Tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 6 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut in cubes
- 1 pint grape tomatoes, cut in half, reserve some for garnish
- ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped plus 1 Tablespoon for garnish
- 6 fresh mozzarella rounds for the top
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. Cook and drain pasta according to package directions, drain and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine marinara sauce, heavy cream, balsamic vinegar, and parmesan cheese. Stir until mixed together. Add in pasta, cooked and diced chicken, mozzarella cheese cubes, grape tomatoes, and fresh basil. Mix until pasta is coated in the sauce.
- Place into baking dish and top with mozzarella rounds.
- Bake for about 25 minutes until casserole is heated through and cheese is bubbly on top.

Studio Tomas Laar
is a full service graphic design studio, located in Rotterdam(NL).
Focusing his practice in the fields of editorial, printed matters and web,
where necessary unique typefaces for typographic solutions are realized.
He works on commissions and self-initiated projects for a wide range of clients, from cultural institutions and publishers to brands and private companies.
He graduated with a BA Graphic Design from the Royal Academy of Art (KABK), The Hague and since then has worked with artists, designer, writers & curators. Amongst others he worked together with Adrian Bridget, Studio Adriaan Mellegers, Bart de Baets, Sandra Kassenaar, Studio Lennarts&deBruijn, Rotterdam Pooligans, skatestore.nl, Noise Magazine, Royal Academy of Art The Hague, Rotterdam Electronix, INLIMBO Unlimited & Elise Sothys.
His work has been featured on: Graphic Design Festival Scotland (Scotland, UK), It's Nice That (London, UK), People of Print (London, UK), raumplan.info (IT), Weltformat 16 (Lucerne, CH), Wallpaper Magazine (London, UK), Ficciones Typografika (Minneapolis, US)
(Wallpaper Magazine)
Laar's design approach is based on the 'cycle of creating' and is set out in his final manifesto-like project, a series of abstract forms that can be arranged to create letters – 'the font will vary each time it is realised'.
(It's Nice That)
Lighthearted typography and books from design student Tomas Laar.
Nice body of work here from Dutch design student Tomas Laar, who has a pleasing understanding of typography and the fun there is to be had in publication design. Even though he's still studying he's been very busy immersing himself in the design world, taking part in Hort's raucous After School Club and a number of different group shows and workshops. What I like about his work is that he's not afraid to mess around a bit, and the more professional journals he's put together and professionally bound are contrasted by mini-projects that see him making posters in homage to designers he admires and pasting them up on walls around The Hague. Even his typography is light-hearted, and shows how unafraid he is to get stuck in with different materials and processes in order to get the best result. He's also got an absolute ripper of a blog.
(People of Print)
Still currently studying, Tomas Laar is a graphic designer based in Rotterdam and without a doubt one to watch and expect big things from. With an amazing talent for type and shape based imagery, Tomas' website is an absolute pleasure to browse through demonstrating an eagerness to experiment with a range of materials, outputs and processes.
'In every detail a universe is hidden'
Making is thinking, - thinking is seeing, - seeing is making
Begin— Discover the feeling of freedom within a method where activity is the main focus, an experiment with an open beginning, possibly never ending. A process that starts with making, aiming to maximize production. Making is thinking; decisions are being made through long and short thought processes. When you actively 'DO' this will lead to something. Preferably working analog, digitalizing is of later care. Working with physical instruments that are multi-functional and diverse create materiality that stimulates activity. The body is a thinking machine. As; thinking is seeing. Observe the making carefully. Use thinking to develop tangible solutions, a new harmony will arise between the materials and working method that otherwise would not have been discovered. A method which allows things to be viewed differently, as nothing is what it seems. Develop own working-tools and introduce them into the world of the aesthetics. Through a physical created output, a process develops wherein the result is influenceable to a certain point. The qualities of this are visible within the aesthetic value and within the production itself, thus viewing is making. Therefore; use the necessity of producing to find answers, discover what not to do by making mistakes, the wrong answer is the right answer for another question. There are endless possibilities, only having to be made visible through discovering. This will result in a re-discovery of the creation process that allows new experiments. Emphasizing the stimulus to look at things differently, functioning as a dialogue for inspiration. This enables your own relational aesthetics, alas; in every detail a universe is hidden.

North Atlantic Region's Undergrads Donate 1,100 Pairs of Shoes to Soles for Souls
September 25, 2018
During the North Atlantic Region's 2018 Undergraduate Roundup conference, the Undergraduate members of the North Atlantic Region collected 1,100 pairs of shoes that were donated to Soles 4 Souls, a non-profit organization that processes and ships shoes to destinations around the world populated with people of color.
Conference attendees were asked to bring donations of shoes in clear plastic bags to the conference. Representatives from Soles 4 Souls picked up the shoes for redistribution to communities in need around the world.
The Soles 4 Souls shoe collection project is part of the sorority's international community service program, Exemplifying Excellence Through Sustainable Service. During the next four years, Alpha Kappa Alpha chapters and members around the world will partner with Soles 4 Souls in support of the sorority's Global Impact target,which focuses on programming that is designed to enhance its international footprint.

LONDON (Reuters) - WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was arrested by British police and carried out of the Ecuadorean embassy on Thursday after his South American hosts abruptly revoked his seven-year asylum in a move his supporters said was illegal.
Following are comments and reactions to the news:
"Julian Assange is no hero, he has hidden from the truth for years and years.
"It's not so much Julian Assange being held hostage in the Ecuadorean embassy, it's actually Julian Assange holding the Ecuadorean embassy hostage in a situation that was absolutely intolerable for them."
"It is our broad policy in all circumstances, so it equally applies to Julian Assange, that he will not be extradited if he is going to face the death penalty. So that will apply to him."
"Mr Assange will continue to receive the usual consular support from the Australian Government. Consular officers will seek to visit Mr Assange at his place of detention.
"I am confident, as the United Kingdom Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt publicly confirmed in July 2018, that Mr Assange will receive due process in the legal proceedings he faces in the United Kingdom."
"Assange's critics may cheer, but this is a dark moment for press freedom."
"The United Nations formally ruled his detention to be arbitrary, a violation of human rights. They have repeatedly issued statements calling for him to walk free—including very recently."
"This man is a son, a father, a brother. He has won dozens of journalism awards. He's been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize every year since 2010. Powerful actors, including CIA, are engaged in a sophisticated effort to dehumanize, delegitimize and imprison him."
"The greatest traitor in Ecuadorian and Latin American history, Lenin Moreno, allowed the British police to enter our embassy in London to arrest Assange.
"Moreno is a corrupt man, but what he has done is a crime that humanity will never forget."
"I'd think it would be fairly uphill to reopen the investigation (in Sweden), mainly because testimonies usually weaken with time and it's now been 10 years. On top of that, the statute of limitation is drawing near, and Assange would need to come here."
"It was a miserable existence and I could see it was a strain on him, but a strain he managed rather well."
"The thing that was most difficult for Julian was the solitude."
"He was very tough, but the last year in particular was very difficult. He was constantly being surveilled and spied upon. There was no privacy for him."

Everything has a reason by Verhoeff, Pieter
Gerard Thoolen dreamt of a 'home theatre': there was cooking and friends were always welcome and could sit at the table, to eat together, to talk, to drink, to sing and to play. Director Pieter Verhoeff has invited friends, family and colleagues to a big house in Bergen aan Zee in the Netherlands, to prepare a meal, meanwhile recalling memories: Film fragments, photo's, letters, memorable objects pass in review. Meditative and melancholic moments alternate exuberant playing, ending up in revue-like apotheoses. There's laughter and crying, like how it should be in a theatrical ambiance, but sometimes Thoolen's painful and obnoxious characteristics pop up as well. His futile looking for true love, his desire for a family life, his reckless behaviour, his ecstatic and depressive periods, his wandering, seeking life, in short: the tragedy of a man with great talents, who tried to avoid his fate in vain. It is a dream coming true at last; there's playing, eating and singing, in honour of Gerard Thoolen.


text: Breakfast rooms were introduced into the plans of country houses so that the first meal of the day could be enjoyed in cheerful, light-filled surroundings. Since the family was likely to be dressed casually, simple furniture was preferred. The checked pattern in this breakfast room was inspired by the leading international modernist group, the Wiener Werkstatte (Vienna Workshop), which was centered in the Austrian capital. Josef Hoffmann, one of its founders, was known for his creative use of a checkered motif that also appeared in metalwork, wall decoration, and fashion.

New Artisan in the Gallery: John Marchello
A Silverware Artist in the Artisans Gallery…
Rembrandt's Gallery & Wine Bar is proud to announce the newest artisan in our Artisans Gallery: John Marchello.
John creates fine jewelry from silverware. In the gallery, we have silver-plated dinner fork and vintage soup spoon bracelets and rings made from vintage teaspoon handles. Prices range from $19.99 to $39.99.
He also does custom pieces; just email him at email@example.com.
Artist's Statement
In his own words:
I have been a silverware artist since 2009. The entire process began when my dad opened up a napkin at an Ann Arbor restaurant and found his fork was bent out of shape. He imagined that he could intentionally bend a fork to create something unique. The process has evolved a lot since then. When I was in college, I picked up the trade as I found it enticing.
My inspiration comes from creating products that are completely re-imagined. Today, we live in a world where most things are made to be disposable and this is having a very negative impact on the Earth. I hope to awaken everyone to this reality and help us rethink how we made and use products throughout the world. All of my products are completely recycled, and every point of production is tuned so that my products are made in the most environmentally and socially responsible manner possible. I hope to inspire all to change their habits with disposable products and consider the entire life cycle of the products they use.
My other mission as an artist is to reveal to others the beauty that can be found in objects many consider outdated or trash. I accomplish this by redesigned old objects into something completely new, that still resembles its previous life.
I created my own tools which allow me to bend silverware very consistently and without damaging the silverware. I am constantly redesigning the tooling to allow for new and more complex bends.

Jonathan Platt, Head of Fixed Income
14 September 2016
We are disappointed to see bonds of sectors such as social housing not making the cut. Many firms which play a crucial role in the UK economy and would seem to meet all the listed criteria specified by the Bank have been overlooked. Meanwhile, this selection process could mean that some firms, which only make a marginal contribution to the UK, have their borrowing costs artificially lowered. Whilst we acknowledge that the purpose of quantitative easing is to stimulate the overall economy, the Bank of England has missed an opportunity to reduce the borrowing costs in some vital sectors. There is no guarantee that the new bonds issued will lead to further investment in the UK economy. Global corporates included in this QE programme could simply use this as a chance to issue cheap, low yielding credit to buy back their own shares. To address this concern, we believe that companies that have recently undertaken or plan to issue debt solely to fund share buybacks should be excluded from the QE programme.
This continued distortion of bond markets will only lead to poorer outcomes for the British public.
The value of investments and the income from them is not guaranteed and may go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. The views expressed are the author's own and do not constitute investment advice.

Nepal elected to the UNESCO Executive Board
Posted by Ram Kumar Shrestha on November 14, 2013
"Nepal has been elected for the tenure of four years," Tap Raj Pant, the national programme officer at UNESCO's Kathmandu office told Nepalnews.com. "Nepal was able to win 144 votes from 185 voter countries."
The Executive Board, as the executive organ of the UNESCO, conducts the programme fixed by the General Conference. It issues recommendation for the admission of prospective new member States of the United Nations. The board also calls international and non-governmental conferences on education, natural sciences and humanities.
Nepal was admitted to UNESCO in 1953. Nepal is home to ten UNESCO World Heritage sites including the Sagarmatha National Park, Kathmandu's durbar squares and Boudhanath. – Nepal News

Michelle Heaton has been filling in for Liz Mcclarnon at Atomic Kitten overseas live shows and she admits the dynamic of being in a girl group is different to the mix of boys and girls she had in Liberty X.
Michelle Heaton has to ''compromise'' more in Atomic Kitten than she did in Liberty X.
The 37-year-old singer has been performing overseas with the 'Whole Again' group in place of Liz McLarnon, who has a fear of flying, and though she insists she, Natasha Hamilton and Kerry Katona, haven't had any disagreements, she finds the dynamic very different to that of her former band, which also included Kevin Simm, Tony Lundon, Jessica Taylor and Kelli Young.
Asked if it's different working with all girls, she said: ''Yes. I think you have to learn to compromise more, in a band with boys and girls the boys rule it a bit more and just get on with it, but I think with girls you learn to talk more and you've got more emotions, so everyone is a bit more fragile and everyone takes care of each other. Does that make sense?''
But asked if she's had any arguments with the other Kittens, she laughed: ''No, not yet!
Michelle is having ''great fun'' on the road with Kerry and Natasha, who have five and four kids respectively, and admits they are all ''a bit crazy'' as a trio.
Speaking at the Disney Store's VIP Christmas party in London on Wednesday night (09.11.16), she told BANG Showbiz: ''It's great fun, they're crazy but I think I'm a bit crazy. It's because we're all mums so when were away we let our hair down because we're not like that in the comfort of our own home. We might have a glass of wine, but it's not the image that's been portrayed.''
Although she has enjoyed being an honorary Kitten, Michelle won't be joining the group as a permanent member and is happy to fill in for Liz when needed.
She said: ''I think it's a long-term thing internationally, but in this country no. We've talked about it and Liz doesn't want to do international work because of her fear of flying.
''And she's got so much going on so it seemed like a natural fit for me to go because we're very close anyway, it's been brilliant.''
Michelle took her two children - daughter Faith, four, and two-year-old son A.J., her kids with husband Hugh Hanley - to the festive event and was joined by a host of other celebrities, including Adele Silva, 'Strictly Come Dancing' competitor Danny Mac, Tina Hobley and Vanessa Feltz.
The Disney Store's Christmas campaign 'From Our Family to Yours' partners with Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity and In Kind Direct to donate soft toys to thousands of children.
To get involved, post your own Letter to Santa at Disney Stores across the country.

Was a bit dull when it arrived and the handle loosened a bit after a few swings, but it is made more for decoration.
I absolutely love the look.
Cool looking design, strong blade. Only qualm with it is that the handle loosened after a few light swings. Since I'm going to just use it for display it is not that bad but still.
Great blade, came nice and painted well. The handle is a little lose after a few good swings. Its just the handle not the blade it self. I'm replaced the handle and it flows like a dream! nice point but needs a bit of sharping. I would buy another just for the heck of it. Great buy.
Not as long as i had hoped but great balance and attention to detail.
My friend has this sword its amazing looking and sharp but, it is top heavy and the handle is a little loose and you gotta be careful of the blades by the handle when playing with it or swinging it. other than that its a pretty cool sword.
I've had this sword for over a year now, its been tucked away in my closet. This is the first sword I've ever purchased. The blade was dull and the tip was welded down. The handle was inserted to the blade crookedly, and its a very top heavy sword. Only recommend if you want a display item.
well i just got this today , i was happy to see it. when i open it up it looked great but however it was all scratched up and the tip was bent. anyways it can be fixed.
I think its a good sword for the price. A bit dull except for the points but a good sword. Its a bit top heavy and not easy to swing around so don't get it to use in fights. I give it a 4
this sword is very cool but should not be used the handle and sword don't connect properly so when ever i even hit a branch the blade dings very loudly. the blade isn't to sharp but the point is very good the blade is very good display and with little work its very good i give it 4

Welcome to Disaster Recovery, where each week I'll examine why your studs played like duds.
This isn't a place to find out why you should have benched a player for somebody on your bench. Disaster Recovery is to examine the guys who you didn't think twice about benching, and deciding if you should be panicking at all about their value moving forward.
This season we'll be covering one dud per week. There will be two major qualifiers: the player must have performed well below expectations without an injury, and the player must be considered a must-start in most formats.Editor's Note: Get any full-season NFL Premium Pass for 50% off. Our exclusive In-Season Lineup Tools, Lineup Optimizer and over 150 days of Premium DFS Research. Sign Up Now!
Rankings System
I'll also be implementing a new panic meter ranking system this year. It goes as follows:
- This week was a fluke. Don't panic!
- I still have full faith in this player, but there are some red flags. Be cautiously optimistic moving forward.
- There are genuine concerns here. Consider selling on name value, but don't panic too much unless you receive an offer you can't refuse.
- This player will not be the player you expected him to be. Regardless, his value may be too low to trade, and his ceiling is going to be better than anything you can get in return. Panic, but hold tight.
- Absolutely abandon ship. We're not coming back from this.
Week 5 had one dud that stood out well above the rest: Alvin Kamara, fantasy's number one player through the first four weeks of the season.
Ingram Rising
Alvin Kamara's Week 5 stats: six rushes for 24 yards and three receptions for 15 yards on four targets.
Wait... what?
The return of Mark Ingram after serving his four game suspension resulted in Kamara's worst game of the year by far. After averaging over 150 total yards during the first four games of the season, the second-year back failed to even come close to 50 total yards. It was Kamara's first healthy game without double digit touches since Week 3 of last season.
It was hard to predict just how much Mark Ingram would cut into Kamara's workload, but I don't know if anybody expected this...
...still, the more I think about it, the more this makes sense. Kamara got the full workload during the first four weeks of the season, averaging over 20 touches in that stretch. He only averaged 14 touches a game last season. Giving him a bit of a rest wouldn't hurt. The Saints made it a point to get Ingram back into the offense and up to speed as quickly as possible. That explains why he doubled Kamara's touches in Week 5.
There was also not the usual number of touches for the duo on Monday night. Last season, they averaged 34 touches during their peak run between Weeks 6-13. They touched the ball 27 times combined against Washington, down seven from their average last year. Gameflow didn't benefit Kamara in this one.
Using the Past to Predict the Future
Reliving 2017
Just so we can walk Kamara owners off the ledge, let me just remind you of some quick facts from last season:
- Mark Ingram had 87 more touches than Alvin Kamara in 2017.
- Kamara didn't have a consistent role in the offense for the first three games of the year.
- Kamara basically missed an entire game with an injury.
- Kamara still finished third overall in scoring last season.
A time-share isn't the end of the world for Alvin Kamara. He spent all of last season in one and still finished third in scoring. The Saints offense has shown no signs of letting up this year. Ingram is only going to make the offense better.
Running in the Red Zone
Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram each scored 12 offensive touchdowns in 2017. Nine of Ingram's came in the red zone, compared to seven of Kamara's. The most notable stat here is that seven of Ingram's red zone touchdowns were within the three yard line, compared to one for Kamara.
Kamara's four red zone rushing touchdowns in 2018 were from one, four, five, and nine yards out, respectively. He also had a seven yard receiving touchdown. Ingram out-carried Kamara 19 to 13 from inside the 10 last year, and out-carried him 13 to 4 within the five.
The harsh truth is that Kamara won't get many, if any, carries from within the five for the rest of the year. Any realist should have seen this coming. Ingram feasted on goal-line touches last year and there is no reason why the Saints shouldn't reestablish him as the goal-line back this year. That's going to hurt Kamara in the long-term this year. But it won't ruin his season.
Panic Meter: 1.5/5
The fact that some people have just forgotten about how ridiculous Kamara was over the first four games of the season baffles me. Even with the dud last week, Kamara remain's fantasy number one per game scorer in PPR formats and second in standard and half-PPR behind Todd Gurley. He may not be able to keep that standing for the rest of the season, but I'd still anticipate Kamara being a top five running back for the rest of the way.
It's one game. One. I would be floored if Kamara averaged nine touches a game for the rest of the season. I'd be shocked if he even saw that line again this year. He's going to continue to see targets, he's going to get more carries than he did this week, and he's a threat to break open a play anytime he touches the ball.
If Kamara, sees nine touches again after the Saints come off their bye week, then the panic meter may rise a bit. But Kamara only averaged 14 touches a game during his peak last year. He made those touches count. He's going to make them count in the coming week, and I'd still even expect him to get more touches than that. The Saints have a lot more invested in Kamara than Ingram. I'm expecting him to be the leader in this dual-threat backfield, even if Ingram is the one punching it into the end zone more often.
Simply put, you'd be a fool to sell on Kamara after one game. If the Kamara owner in your league is panicking, go out and get him!
What To Watch For
Obviously, keep your eyes on the touches and snap count. Ingram saw 55% of snaps on Monday, compared to Kamara's 47%. Look for how often Kamara is on the field in passing downs compared to Ingram. See how many carries. A repeat of the 18/9 split in favor of Ingram shouldn't happen again. If it does, we'll probably be back here in two weeks talking about Kamara again.

Motherhood hasn't always been portrayed as a glamorous life choice in the media. Maybe that's because it's not. Still, that doesn't mean that moms can't be multi-dimensional people with interesting stories all on their own (cause seriously, we are!) Especially in recent years, we've seen an uptick in well-written mom characters, including many Latina moms on television. It's certainly refreshing and a long way from Leave It To Beaver or even Growing Pains. For those of you currently changing diapers, struggling with nap times, or dealing with the rest of motherhood, look to these amazing Latina TV moms for inspiration and solidarity.
Jane Villanueva (Gina Rodriguez on Jane the Virgin)
Any Latina mom raising a young child right now can certainly relate to this Jane the Virgin star. She's quirky, a little old school (how many 20-something-year-old virgins do you know?), big on romance, and more importantly, extremely driven—especially once her son is born. Jane's focus as a mom is always doing what's best for her son (even when that means temporarily cutting ties with the love of her life).

Recently, my aunt has been complaining of lacking muscle strength and getting pins and needles sensation in her hand. My mom went with her to the doctor and after a few tests, they discovered that she has a pinched nerve in her neck. Luckily, my aunt's case isn't serious, and the doctor just advised her to do a few simple exercises every day and to get a pillow that can help with her neck pain. So, we went in search for the best pillow for a pinched nerve in the neck.
If you have a pinched nerve in the neck, you need to go for either memory foam or water-based pillow since these can provide you with the support that you need. I recommend you get either the Mediflow Waterbase Pillow that has been clinically proven to reduce neck pain or the Sleep Innovations Memory Foam Contour Pillow.

Choosing the Best Pillow for Your Neck Pain
The most important thing you have to consider when buying a pillow for your neck pain is the material. Memory foam and water-based pillows are your best options since they can provide you with the support that you need.
Memory foam conforms to your head and neck while water-based pillows lessen the shock to your vertebra.
On the other hand, feather pillows can make your pinched nerve worse since it doesn't provide enough neck stability.
Sleeping Position
Your sleeping position is another factor that will help you determine the kind of pillow that you need.
- Sleeping on the back – If you sleep on your back, it's best to get a pillow that is fairly low pillow that's contoured to support your neck.
- Sleeping on the side – Side sleepers need to get a higher pillow to keep their head, neck and spinal in their proper alignment. Contoured support pillows are very helpful as well.
- Sleeping on the stomach – This sleeping position stresses the neck so it's best if you can try to change your sleeping habit. Otherwise, a flat pillow can be used to keep your head and neck in a neutral position. A pillow should also be used to support your hips and abdomen.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it better for your neck to sleep without a pillow?
The answer to this depends on your type of sleeping position. In general, back and side sleepers benefit from using a pillow during sleep.
These types of sleepers require the help of a pillow to support their head, neck and spine. However, stomach sleepers do benefit from not using a pillow.
Do pinched nerves go away on their own?
Most cases of pinched nerves do go away on their own. But, if you're experiencing persistent pain, numbness, loss of sensation or progressively worsening pain, it's best to seek medical treatment.
Can magnesium help with nerve pain?
Studies have found that magnesium is a powerful but natural painkiller. It is found to play a role in regulating pain and in decreasing the release of pro-inflammatory proteins. Since it is an inexpensive and readily available dietary supplement, you can work with your doctor on how you can use it to help with your nerve pain.
Can a chiropractor fix a pinched nerve in the neck?
A good chiropractor will be able to help you alleviate your neck pain while still addressing the root of the problem and strengthening the affected area.
Is ice or heat better for a pinched nerve?
The answer to this depends on the symptoms that you are experiencing. Heat therapy is good for relaxing tense muscles and decreasing muscle spasms.
On the other hand, cold therapy can help with inflammation of pain. You can even alternate both hot and cold if you want.
So, what's the best pillow for pinched nerve in neck?
The right pillow can alleviate the pain and discomfort that you feel when you have a pinched nerve in the neck.
For this, I recommend highly recommend the Mediflow Waterbase Pillow. You can adjust the firmness and thickness of the pillow by increasing or decreasing the amount of water that you add. You can also pick what kind of fill you want for maximum comfort and support.
Your second best option is the Sleep Innovations Memory Foam Contour Pillow. Its material, memory foam, along with its contoured shape, will give you the support that you need when you're suffering from neck pain.

Black Shawl or Tasina Sapewin was the wife of Crazy Horse, whom she married in 1871. She was a member of the Oglala Lakota and relative of Spotted Tail. Her brother was Red Feather. The elders sent her to heal Crazy Horse after his altercation with No Water.[1] She had a daughter the same year, whose name was They Are Afraid of Her. They Are Afraid of Her died at age three, likely of cholera. Black Shawl also suffered the same disease, and was treated by Dr. Valentine McGillycuddy.
Black Shawl died during a seasonal influenza outbreak in 1927.

Here in the Diocese of Syracuse, for the last 5 or 6 years, a fairly well organized movement of lay Catholics has emerged to express dissent from the local bishop and the wider Church. Today, this movement is mostly visible in the activities of Faithful Catholics Concerned (FCC), a group I wrote about just under a year ago. FCC's goals include opposing the local bishop and the USCCB when they become involved in 'partisan politics' and are shared by Catholics across the U.S. A few weeks ago FCC hosted a day long workshop with a keynote address by Fr. Jon Sivalon, who some Catholics certainly identify as radical. At the workshop, Fr. Sivalon quoted Thomas Merton to call for a lay-centered, 'Vatican II' Church. Local activists promote what could be called a theology of community, meaning that they understand God to be active whenever 'two or more are gathered,' and hence they see the institutional church as secondary to the substance of being Catholic. Does this attitude about the institutional Catholic Church make them radical?
In many ways FCC is the continuation of activism in the diocese that started around 2008; the primary motivator being a plan to reconfigure the diocese by reducing the number of parishes through mergers and closings. While the activism did involve significant disagreement with official reconfiguration plans, I wouldn't call the average activist who was part of this movement radical. In fact, as I spent time with them over the 2 or 3 years I tried to learn about their movement, one of the things that struck me most was exactly how pious and respectful their attitudes were. For example, one of the main activities of a group calling themselves The Council of Parishes Upstate New York was a regular 'First Friday' protest outside of the chancery. Symbolically paying homage to a well known, if somewhat 'old-school' Catholic devotion, protesters gathered the first Friday of most months to quietly hold signs opposing the reconfiguration process. Their goal was to be present at the chancery – the center of diocesan power, and to clearly offer a variation on a theme of devotion to express dissent. If radical means to break away from existing structures and actions, then this isn't a very radical move. In fact, it's a quite pious protest.
In the paper I'll be presenting at the ASA meetings this summer, I argue that the primary source of contention about reconfiguration in the diocese was not radical Catholics who were set to fundamentally change Church governance, but rather opposed narratives of the meaning of the parish and the relationship between the parish community and its priest. While the lay activists tended to believe a parish was sacred because of work the laity did, over generations, to make the place special, the diocese put forth a reconfiguration plan that privileged ordained leadership as the source of the sacred. This diocesan narrative of the sacred finds support in canon law and Catholic tradition (though that same tradition can be used to critique the role of the priest – Wills 2013), and essentially argues that without the continuing sacramental role of a priest, a parish building is just that – a building. The lay narrative of the sacred is built on, perhaps, radical beliefs about Catholic community relative to canon law, but it also finds support in the Vatican II Decree on the Apostolate of the Laity. This decree argues quite plainly that the apostolate of the laity can do much of the work of the priesthood in "places where priests are very few." Many lay activists understood their activities as defending the sacred as much they framed it as critiquing diocesan leadership. It was a minority of activists who had a well articulated plan for new parish structures (i.e. Parish Life Coordinators), and all wanted to be clear that they wanted to cooperate and collaborate with the bishop. In fact, once they were able to schedule a few meetings with the diocese to discuss their opposition to the plan, they put a moratorium on the 'First Friday' protests. Why continue with this potentially disruptive strategy, they reasoned, when diocesan authorities now seemed willing to listen, or at least meet. These weren't radical Catholic activists envisioning a new Catholic Church, but rather they were motivated by a desire defend the place they had best known the Church – their parishes.

Course Description
Regulatory science can benefit from barcoding technology to give precise identification to the species level of traded commodities, as well as preserving identity chains where close substitutes or counterfeits disrupt economics and trust between partners. Barcoding is relevant in these respects to trade associated with forestry, capture and culture fisheries, terrestrial agriculture including commodity crops, fruits and food animals.
In addition to the authentication and traceability functions, barcoding can also serve an important role in the identification and surveillance of pests. It may even be possible to use barcoding technology for identity preservation systems traded commodities such as crops where adventitious presence of un-approved varieties threatens trade and brings the risk of economic loss.
This program will provide an overview of the state of current technology and the various platforms used. The course consists of a series of online lectures and research exercises introducing different aspects of regulatory and forensic DNA barcoding research. We will also touch on the suite of bioinformatics tools available for sequence analysis and data interpretation.

Got back pain? Then you should take a look at the Drim Drum. Created by Roman Wojcinowicz, a physiotherapist by training, the Drim Drum was developed as complete solution in the fight against back pain. I'm a strong believer in the teachings of Dr Stuart McGill when it comes to exercises that protect the back and I personally thought the Drim Drum resembled the McGill Curl Up in concept. (Watch the linked YouTube video from 3 minutes onwards)
Contrary to exercises you commonly see on social media channels that flatten the spine or try to fill the empty space between the lower back and floor through flexion when one is lying down, the Drim Drum device maintains the natural curve of the lower back during 2DD and 6DD; Drim Drum's special abdominal exercises.
For just 2 minutes a day and by focusing on the quality of the exercise while maintaining the natural curvature of the spine with the Drim Drum, one can achieve the desired effects of loosening the lower back and strengthening the abdominal muscles as a whole. (Rectus abdominis, obliques, and TVA)
"I tried to create the device that will be perfect for busy people with back problems who work a lot in sitting position and have very little time to go to the specialists or can't afford expensive treatment. After years of development I finally succeeded. Drim Drum is simple, but it's absolutely perfect. You need only two minutes of light workout per day at home to improve the condition of your back" – says Roman Wojcinowicz, physiotherapist and Drim Drum creator.
The Drim Drum comes in 2 sizes for different weight groups. (Yellow for 50-85kg or Orange for 85-120kg)
The Drim Drum just commenced their Kickstarter a day back and pledging £38 will get you a Drim Drum version of your choice along with the 2DD training videos. That's a cool 68% off retail.
To find out more, head over to Drim Drum's Kickstarter page.

Harare was a hive of activity as people from all walks of life celebrated Easter in style.
Some attended church to commemorate the death of Jesus Christ, others thronged entertainment spots as they were in a party mood.
However, for most informal traders it was business as usual.
Many churches held services while others took the opportunity to have healing and deliverance as well as life empowerment sessions as part of the Easter celebrations, a holiday of high religious significance in the Christian faith.
"We are commemorating the supreme sacrifice by our Lord Jesus Christ who came here on earth to save us from the bondage of sin taking us into the glory and love of the Almighty father, "said Apostle Florence Kanyati of the Grace Unlimited International.
PHD Ministries leader Prophet Walter Magaya said this men's gathering is a step towards creating a man with power who is capable of creating business and financial opportunities towards national development.
There was an air of excitement with many Harare residents saying the holiday is a chance to be with family and friends.
Some were seen at popular leisure spots where informal traders confessed to recording brisk business.
For most of the small scale business enterprises there was no break this Easter as they sought to take full advantage of the holiday buying frenzy.
The foundation of the Christian faith is based on the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, an event which according to the New Testament occurred 3-days after he was crucified.

Documentary Wedding Photographer
Hello, I'm Damion. I live in Buckinghamshire with my wife Philippa and loyal canine pal, Huxley. We recently moved into the area after living in London most of our lives, trading the hustle and bustle for village life with fresh air and miles of walks.
I'm a documentary wedding photographer and I believe photography is about the emotion images evoke, be that laughter, tears or nostalgia. Capturing these moments for wedding couples is a privilege and I have a profound sense of responsibility documenting the essence and details for you to hold onto for generations to come.

I'm part owner in The Trained Eye, a portrait and wedding photography training company, designed to accelerate photographers careers by providing exceptional creative photographic training. Working with The Trained Eye team and alongside some of the UK's best photographers inspires and motivates me.
I'm lucky to have been featured in Conde Nast Brides magazine after shooting some fabulous wedding events, including shoots for wonderful wedding designers like Caroline Castigliano, Kate Halfpenny and Amanda Wakeley.
I'm honoured to have received awards from NineDots, Masters of Wedding Photography and Wedisson, ranking No 1 International Wedding Photographer for 2019 by Wedisson Awards.
