I recently visited with a client who has spent the majority of his lifetime struggling with the concept of "perfection". For as long as he could remember, he had been admonished to do things "perfectly" and was routinely chastised or punished when he failed to achieve the level of "perfection" required of him by a series of "well meaning" role models, including his parents. Because of his skewed reality around perfection he struggled to achieve a true measure of happiness in his intimate relationship or career. Millions of us can relate to the expectations of "perfection" that have been placed on us by our parents, athletic coaches, teachers and other role models we have encountered along our journey. I know that for many years I felt like a total "loser" for not living up to the demands of perfection placed on me. That was then, this is now. Today, I strive to do my very best in every endeavor, however, I realize that for me, "perfection" rarely happens and I'm fine with that. One of the fundamental problems with our obsession for perfection is that over time it tends to create an array of personal and health challenges. Let's take a look at a few of them.
Avoidance strategy. Many of us are using our quest for "perfection" as a means of avoiding potential rejection and therefore protecting ourselves from opening up and becoming vulnerable. For example, we have all known someone who is looking for the "perfect partner" and isn't willing to "settle" for anyone who doesn't measure up to the exact profile they have designed. Or how about the person who won't go to the beach until they are in "perfect" shape. In both cases "perfection" is being conveniently used as an excuse to keep them from addressing their self doubt and fear and in both cases it is keeping them from having fun and meeting some really awesome people.
Judgment. How many times have we failed to make a connection with someone because they were not driving the "perfect" car, wearing the "perfect" clothes or living in the "perfect" zip code. Our need to pass judgment may be preventing us from meeting talented, progressive people. I know several extremely accomplished professionals who drive older model vehicles,regularly wear shorts and flip flops and live where they "feel the vibe". You can't possibly know anything about someone unless you have a conversation.
Health. Our quest for "perfection" can lead to a variety of health problems, including diet pill addiction, Anorexia, Skin Cancer, disfigurement from plastic surgery and an array of other health related challenges. Accepting ourselves for who we are is the first step toward optimal health. Diet and exercise are natural, proven strategies for living a longer, more enjoyable life.
Parenting. Anyone who has been subjected to the pressure stemming from parental demands of "perfection" has experiential knowledge regarding the emotional damage it can cause. As parents we want our children to do and be their best, however, the reality is that from time to time they are going to fall short of our expectations. It is up to us to teach our children that failure is an essential element of success and encourage them to embrace failure as an important part of the success process.
Self Examination. When we demand "perfection" in others it is always a good idea to examine our own motives. Why are we demanding "perfection"? Years ago, I coached high school baseball. I remember a particular parent who managed to always find something wrong with his son's performance. One night, after a game in which his son had gone 4 for 4 and made several spectacular defensive plays, I observed the father verbally abusing his son as they walked to the car. Troubled by the incident, I called the players father and asked him why he had been so upset after the game? He explained that there had been a professional scout in attendance and that his son had gotten a late jump on an attempt to steal second base. The father went on to share that he had never been able to play college or professional baseball due to an eye injury suffered during his senior year of high school and that all he had ever wanted was for his son to have the opportunity that had alluded him. FYI… His son never played another inning of baseball after he graduated from high school. A few years ago I ran into him at a local restaurant and asked him why he had decided not to pursue college ball? (He certainly had the talent) "Coach, by the time my senior year rolled around I hated the game, no matter what I did it was never good enough for my dad and I just didn't want to see him in the stands anymore".
The problem with "perfection" is that it is unrealistic. I believe we should all strive to be the best at whatever we do, however, we must also realize that we are human and that we will fail and experience set backs. The pursuit of "perfection" can cause us to hold back from trying new things, meeting new people and from taking risks. Strive to be the best version of yourself and show yourself some grace.
As always, I look forward to your thoughts and feedback.

Review: Love Among the Ruins @ S1 Artspace
Love Among the Ruins: A Romance of the Near Future
S1 Artspace's latest exhibition splits the Life of Park Hill straight down the middle, with half the exhibition showcasing the residents during 1961–65 (with images taken by Roger Mayne), and the other half in 1988 when the final residents were living in the iconic estate (taken by Bill Stephenson). Both sets of images have been restored and are proudly showcased in their full glory.
The walls of what was once an old garage (where young people on the estate would rollerblade on the roof) are adorned with images of the lives of times gone by: with news articles, flyers, newsletters and notices from Park Hill's lifetime appearing on walls and in cabinets, and rare archival material projected onto a blank wall.
Sitting in glorious sunshine looking towards the exhibition, set against a back-drop of the former 'housing Utopia' that was Park Hill you can't help but reflect on the lives that once were, and those that perhaps may be in years to come.
Love Among the Ruins runs at S1 Artspace until September 15.

Organize and lead Hub-Om in your local area. Choose your favorite workshop and start from there. We help you find potential members. As more leaders join you, your "hub" can offer more than one workshop.
If you enjoy cooking for groups and hosting dinners, the tasting format might be the option for you. Once you are certified we advertise and set up tastings in your local area.
Learn to lead groups of people into deeper levels of spirituality. We help you find your potential students.
- The "HUB" refers to a group of families that form a support system.
- The "hub" refers to a physical location where they meet.
- This hub can be organized immediately by meeting in homes.
- Hub meetings might work within existing groups such as clubs, churches, a workplace, a school, or a community center.
- This hub social structure is something like a church group, yet could meet in a gym, or the workplace as well.
- The hub combines age groups and includes of all levels of ability and wheelchair accessibility in all activities.
- The hub is committed to developing a social structure that leads each individual into the highest possible level of well-being.
- We want to live on a planet that promotes and supports the well-being of ALL of its inhabitants.
We dream of world peace, a restored planet and well-being for ALL.
Global Well-Being can only be achieved by working together for the common good.
A new social structure that fully utilizes the latest discoveries concerning human well-being:
- All people, rich, poor, old, young, male, female, people of all races and all religions share 7 common elements for well-being.
- We all want to live on a planet that promotes and supports the well-being of its inhabitants.
- There is a social structure that leads each individual into the highest possible well-being by having support on all 7 levels.
- Today's social structure prevents the possibility for well-being in the most openly visible ways.
- Inclusion of all levels of ability and wheelchair accessibility in all community designs are imperative.
- finding commonality across the ideological spectrum to create lasting unity
- creating an open source collection of ideas that when implemented will lead global well-being.
To support each of the 7 Elements of Well-Being we must include a "hub" of 7 centers for the this new society to function and thrive. The hub refers to both a physical location and a group of people. This hub can be organized immediately by using a large building that already exists. This hub might work within existing groups such as churches, the workplace, schools or community centers. All seven will function in the same building until they grow out of the space available. If and when this hub chooses to build a community of well-being from the ground up, these centers will design and build their own space within the new community.
The benefits of establishing Hub-Om before building a Center for Global Well-Being are many. The establishment of these 7 centers in small groups that are already meeting on a regular basis will provide the prospective community members with real world experience in contributionism. They will know if this is the lifestyle that aligns closely with their own values. They can come and go without disrupting the entire community economic system.
This workshop takes a close look at new community designs such as "Ubuntu Planet" "The Venus Project" "New Vistas" and "Serenbe" and provides the collaboration time to design and plan permanent solutions for Global Well-Being that integrates all of these ideas and more.

MILTON, Ont. – It's official: the first-ever fuel economy standards for heavy trucks are coming. The plan, announced by US President Barack Obama in early August, will affect trucks and buses built in 2014 through 2018, with the government estimating the program will save 530 million barrels of oil over its life while eliminating 270 million metric tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions.
Semi-trucks will be required to achieve a 20% improvement in fuel economy by 2018 while vocational trucks will be expected to improve their fuel economy by 10% by the model year 2018.
With a similar program on its way here in Canada, what can truck manufacturers do to help meet these fuel economy standards? And for that matter, should it be the government's job to dictate these standards in the first place?
Truck News posed these questions to drivers at the Fifth Wheel Truck Stop in Milton, Ont.
Carl Cooper, a driver with SPS Sarnia Paving Stone in Sarnia, Ont., says that manufacturers need to be doing more of the same to help reach these new fuel efficiency standards, such as continuing with the use of diesel exhaust fluid, diesel particulate filters, and the use of biodiesel.
Cooper also thinks upping the rig's power will help trucks burn fuel cleaner.
"The more power, the cleaner it will be, the less power you're going to smoke more. They could turn (engine power) up even more instead of cutting back."
Tricia Rickard, a company driver with Stevens Transport in Dallas, Texas, says she thinks there's "way too much Big Brother involved in many aspects of our government," and that it's not their job to put regulations on equipment.
As for improving fuel efficiency, Rickard says the driver has the greatest effect on that, and personally averages between seven and eight miles per gallon in her late-model rig.
"It would be in the consumer's best interest to have more efficient trucks, but as far as how to actually develop that, I'm not sure," she said.
David Harpwick, a driver with Kimco Steel out of Kingston, Ont., says it should be the manufacturers' and consumers' duty to dictate the standards for trucks and for that matter, he doubts that OEMs can make trucks any more efficient than they already are.
"With all the trucks that have been made since 2000, you can't squeeze any more out of a truck than what you already get," he said.
Harpwick also said that the new law will mean even more expensive equipment, making it even harder for owner/operators to stay profitable.
Jeff Herzberger, an owner/operator also with Stevens Transport, says he's all for the standards – as long as he can make his money back within five years of the truck purchase. And he says there are many things OEMs can do to make trucks more efficient.
"They basically need to throw away the blueprints and start over. I'm not impressed with the engineering on any of the trucks nowadays," he says. "They are just now getting into electronic fuel injection. That's been happening on cars – electronic fuel injection – for 20 years."
However, he says the number one cause of inefficiency in trucks is the drivers themselves.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission said Tuesday it charged the former head of the natural gas trading desk at AEP Energy Services, a subsidiary of American Electric Power Co. AEP, -0.08%, with attempted manipulation of natural gas prices and reporting false trading information. Joseph Foley allegedly directed other traders between November 2000 and September 2002 to submit false reports on the price and volume of natural gas trades to publications that compile energy price indexes. "Foley's conduct constitutes an attempted manipulation under the Commodity Exchange Act, which, if successful, could have affected prices of NYMEX natural gas futures and options contracts," the agency said.

Michael B. Jordan (Friday Night Lights, Fruitvale Station) is mentoring a group of talented young filmmakers through the 2014 Sprite Films program. The acclaimed actor -- who will soon begin shooting Fantastic Four -- met with six finalists last week during CinemaCon in Las Vegas to discuss their original short films and share industry insights.
Sprite Films challenges college filmmakers to develop 50-second scripts, then selects a shortlist of finalists to create short films from script-to-screen. The public can view and vote on the six finalist films at Sprite.com/films through May 15. Movie fans will select the Fan Favorite Award winner, who will receive a $5,000 donation to his or her university's film department and a trip to AFI FEST 2014, the American Film Institute's (AFI) film festival. A group of film industry experts, including Jordan, will crown the Green Ribbon Panel winner, who will work on a Sprite brand project. The Green Ribbon Panel winner's film will run in select theaters nationwide in August.We caught up with Jordan during CinemaCon to learn more about the program and the pointers he passed along to the filmmakers:
You just met with the finalists. What advice did you give them?
They key piece of advice I gave them was to collaborate. Communication between the director, cast and crew is so important. I've worked with a lot of first-time directors, and my experience was so much better because we were able to collaborate and figure things out together. I also advised them to set aside their egos. You'll go so much further without one. You need to able to agree to disagree with the people you're working with. Working with people you like and want to work with is also very important. Be ambitious, don't think small. Shoot for the stars. And do the work… don't shortchange yourself. You have to put the time in because there are so many people all over the world doing exactly what you want to do. What will set you apart is the work you put in.
Why are programs like Sprite Films important?
It provides live, on-the-job experience. This program gives filmmakers the opportunity to work and learn, which is the best education. It also gives them a budget and challenges them to set and pursue goals. Sprite is setting the bar for them and helping guide them through the early part of their careers. They're the new faces of filmmaking -- they are the future -- so it's important to equip them with the tools they need. Sprite is doing that through this program.
Who have been your mentors, and what have you learned from them?
It all started with my parents, who instilled in me a strong work ethic and kept me grounded. As I started to work, Forest Whitaker was definitely somebody who gave me some sound advice on acting when I got the chance to work with him on Fruitvale (Station). And Matthew McConaughey gave me good advice on choosing roles. There was a time when I was nervous about a project and wasn't sure if I wanted to do it. He asked me where my nervousness was coming from. Was it a healthy fear? Because if so, that's a good thing. You're supposed to be a little scared. But if it's a negative fear, if you're not surrounding yourself with things that will help you win, then maybe it's something you may not want to do. He gave me questions I needed to ask myself. I've had good people around me who have really helped me out along the way. Now, for me to be involved and give back a little is very important to me. Because you've got to give back to this community. You can't just keep taking from it.

Auto World
Chevrolet 100th Anniversary Set
Chevrolet was founded by Louis Chevrolet and ousted GM founder William C. Durant on November 3, 1911. General Motors acquired Chevrolet seven years later in 1918 to compete directly with Ford. 2011 marks the 100th anniversary of this historic name in the automotive industry and Auto World is releasing a commemorative set celebrating the Chevy centennial. So let's check out the details as Auto World starts up their own run at 100 years.
The advent of digital slot car racing has been the hottest new trend, introducing a new technology. While each of the major manufacturers of 1/32 scale slot cars has offered their own approach, SCX has taken their version to the next level.
A step so bold is not only showing an aggressive commitment, but potentially a huge risk on their part as well.

Every day at the annual SKI Test, held last March at Deer Valley, Utah, testers have a debrief about their favorite skis of the day. There is usually consensus around the best, the worst, and the biggest surprises. This year, nearly every discussion heard the phrase "I can't believe that was a value ski!" The scores reflected it: Most of the following skis would have been ranked in the 2019 Gear Guide, but luckily for skiers on a budget, these boards were in the Value category.
There are a few rules for this category: The MSRP must be at or below $660 (or $850 with a binding), and the ski has to perform on par with the rest of the models at the SKI Test. Any type of skis are welcome. To generate the value score, we take the ski's test score, multiply it by 1,000, and divide that number by the retail price.
Nab these blue light specials before they're gone.
BEST IN TEST: Dynastar Slicer Factory
This ski is a bit of a throwback—to the days when twin-tips were just as versatile out of the park as in it. Partially designed by Dynastar's athletes, the Slicer wowed testers with carving abilities and playful pop, but it really earned its name in crud, where it attacked like a skilled swordsman. "What a refreshing blast!" said tester Matt Schiller.
Value Score: 6.86. See more specs and scores for the Dynastar Slicer here.
K2 Pinnacle 85
K2 calls this ski a "gateway drug" and our testers certainly agreed. Performing best at moderate speeds and shorter turns, the easy-to-ride Pinnacle 85 is ideal for those on the cusp of great skiing, and will likely expedite the process. It's lightweight, nimble, and fun for nearly everyone. "A lot of bang for the buck," according to Todd Casey.
Value Score: 6.26. See the rest of the K2 Pinnacle 85's scores here.
Head Monster 83x
The Monster 83x was resoundingly nimble and hungry to get on edge, making it a rock-solid candidate for skiers who are learning to love the carve. Testers found it to have sophisticated yet approachable manners on smooth slopes and fresh corduroy. "Holds long to short arcs smoothly and can pivot easily," commented Erme Catino.
Value Score: 5.99. Find out more about the Head Monster 83x here.
Atomic Vantage 97 C
Atomic's fully revamped Vantage line of skis has plenty of slick technology with low price tags. The translucent Carbon Tank Mesh forms the Vantage 97 C's backbone, and makes it easy to turn at various speeds, but it struggled in extra tough crud. "A confidence builder for skiers who know their speed limit," said Jon Jay.
Value Score: 5.73. See how the Atomic Vantage 97 C scored in every category here.
Nordica Navigator 85
Inspired by the Enforcer series, the Navigator includes similar construction of a full wood core and metal laminates, and provides a playful dampness that can handle variable snow. Testers noticed it was a little uncomfortable at high speeds. "At home in the bumps, sun affected softness, and on firm snow," said Bob Gleason.
Value Score: 5.58. You can find the rest of the Nordica Navigator 85's specs and scores here.
Völkl Kanjo
Quiet, confident, and playful were terms that testers used to describe the Kanjo. Built with a Titanal band and a multi-layer wood core, this ski is a perfect option for intermediate skiers and Völkl fanatics who just want something a bit easier to ski. "Super fun on soft snow," said Mark Elling. "But surprisingly powerful on edge."
Value Score: 5.57. Read more about the Völkl Kanjo here.

This Will Happen to Rome's Colosseum Later This Month, to Remember Persecuted Christians around the World
Dan Wooding : Feb 12, 2018 ASSIST News Service
"We invite everyone to attend, either in person or in spirit, on February 24, 2018 at around 6 p.m. in Largo Gaetana Agnesi, Rome." -spokesperson for Aid to the Church in Need
(Rome, Italy)—[ASSIST News] The Roman Colosseum will be illuminated by red lights later this month to draw attention to the persecution of Christians around the world, and especially in Syria and Iraq. (Photo: Roman Colosseum/Creative Commons/via Pixabay)
On Saturday, Feb. 24, at 6 p.m. the Colosseum will be spotlighted in red, to represent the blood of Christians who have been wounded or lost their lives due to religious persecution, according to Crux.
Simultaneously, in Syria and Iraq, prominent churches will be illuminated with red lights. In Aleppo, the St. Elijah Maronite Cathedral will be lit, and in Mosul, the Church of St. Paul, where this past Dec. 24, the first Mass was celebrated after the city's liberation from ISIS.
The event, sponsored by Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) follows a similar initiative last year, which lit-up London's Parliament building in red, as well as the Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Paris and the cathedral in Manila, Philippines. In 2016, the famous Trevi Fountain in Rome was lit.
Alessandro Monteduro, director of ACN, told journalists on Feb. 7 that the "illumination [of the Colosseum] will have two symbolic figures: Asia Bibi, the Pakistani Christian condemned to death for blasphemy and whose umpteenth judgment is expected to revoke the sentence; and Rebecca, a girl kidnapped by Boko Haram along with her two children when she was pregnant with a third."
"One of the children was killed," he said, "she lost the baby she was carrying, and then became pregnant after one of the many brutalities she was subjected to by her captors."
Once she was freed and reunited with her husband, she decided she "could not hate those who caused her so much pain," Monteduro said.
Aid to the Church in Need released a biennial report on anti-Christian persecution Oct. 12, 2017, detailing how Christianity is "the world's most oppressed faith community," and how anti-Christian persecution in the worst regions has reached "a new peak."
The report reviewed 13 countries, and concluded that in all but one, the situation for Christians was worse in overall terms for the period 2015-2017 than during the prior two years.
"The one exception is Saudi Arabia, where the situation was already so bad it could scarcely get any worse," the report said.
China, Eritrea, Iraq, Nigeria, North Korea, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and Syria were ranked "extreme" in the scale of anti-Christian persecution. Egypt, India, and Iran were rated "high to extreme," while Turkey was rated "moderate to high."
The Middle East was a major focus for the report.
"Governments in the West and the U.N. failed to offer Christians in countries such as Iraq and Syria the emergency help they needed as genocide got underway," the report said. "If Christian organizations and other institutions had not filled the gap, the Christian presence could already have disappeared in Iraq and other parts of the Middle East." (Image: A local Christian prays in the ruins of a church destroyed by ISIS in Syria's Hasakah province/credit: Valery Melniko/Sputnik/via Christianity Today)
The exodus of Christians from Iraq has been "very severe." Christians in the country now may number as few as 150,000, a decline from 275,000 in mid-2015. By spring 2017 there were some signs of hope, with the defeat of the Islamic State group and the return of some Christians to their homes on the Nineveh Plains.
The departure of Christians from Syria has also threatened the survival of their communities in the country, including historic Christian centers like Aleppo, ACN said. Syrian Christians there suffer threats of forced conversion and extortion. One Chaldean bishop in the country estimates the Christian population to be at 500,000, down from 1.2 million before the war.
Many Christians in the region fear going to official refugee camps, due to concerns about rape and other violence, according to the report.
ACN also discussed the genocide committed in Syria and Iraq by the Islamic State and other militants. While ISIS and other groups have lost their major strongholds, ACN said that many Christian groups are threatened with extinction and would likely not survive another attack.
A spokesperson for Aid to the Church in Need, said, "We invite everyone to attend, either in person or in spirit, on February 24, 2018 at around 6 p.m. in Largo Gaetana Agnesi, Rome."

As a child, I always looked forward to catching VR Troopers after school. I was always excited to see how Ryan, Kaitlin, and JB would foil Grimlord's latest evil scheme. This was a show that I loved so much, and for many years I have been praying for a DVD release. Thanks to Shout Factory, that dream has finally come true, and for VR Trooper fans such as myself, the long wait was definitely worth it.
The show is still as wonderful as I remember it, with its action-packed battles providing a lot of excitement and story lines regarding friendship, teamwork, etc. that still hold up well today. Ryan was and still is my favorite Trooper, though Kaitlin and JB are also pretty cool. Grimlord, and his human alter-ego Karl Ziktor, are effectively creepy, and his many mutant minions are equally menacing. Jeb, the talking dog, provides the best comic relief on the show. Many of the other characters such as Tao and Professor Hart are also as appealing now as they were all those years ago. The only regular character I could never stand was Percy, who I felt was quite an annoyance, but just about all the other characters are awesome to some extent.
The episodes on this set (26 in all) provide plenty of entertainment. The two-part story The Battle Begins sets up the story quite nicely, as it shows how the Troopers became the defenders of our reality, their first Skug battle, how Jeb gained the ability to speak, and the beginning of the ongoing plot point of Ryan's search for his long-lost father. Other episodes on this set have the Troopers rescuing Jeb from Grimlord's minions (The Dognapping), trying to help Ryan when he's suffering from amnesia (Lost Memories), dealing with a magician who steals Kaitlin and JB's virtualizers (A Dirty Trick), investigating some earthquakes that hit Crossworld City (Digging for Fire), and much more. Fans who grew up with the series, as well as people who never saw the show before, are sure to find at least a few great episode on the set that are worth checking out.
A mere three months after Shout Factory released the first 26 episodes of VR Troopers comes this DVD set covering the second half of Season 0ne (or at least most of the second half…more on that in a bit). The saga of Ryan, Kaitlin, and JB continues as they deal with more of Grimlord's menacing mutants. Many of the episodes on the set are a joy to see, but the standout ones are the four episodes that comprise the Defending Darkheart story arc. This saga, in which Ryan finally learns the fate of his long-lost father, is dramatic and emotional, and is a must see for every VR Trooper fans. Other episodes feature the Troopers being turned into children, encountering the Ghost Biker, and fighting Grimlord's own VR Trooper. There's even an episode in which Ryan and his talking dog, Jeb, switch bodies! As you can probably guess, hilarity ensues.
This set also contains a pretty cool five-minute clip that was made to introduce the series. Originally included on various Power Ranger tapes released in the 1990s, the promo includes a few differences from the final show, such as having Professor Hart look more like Albert Einstein and different voices for Grimlord and Jeb. It's fascinating to watch, and I hope that Shout will include the Cybertron promo (the original concept for what would become VR Trooper, with Jason David Frank A.K.A. the Green Ranger as the main character) in a future set, as well.
Season Two is where the major changes happened, Ryan got a new suit, Grimlord decimated most of his villains. Kaitlin gets a double.
One of the best things about this volume is Ryan finally finds his father and the new look Grimlord is amazing. most of the major events happen in the second volume.
VR Troopers fans like myself were undoubtedly disappointed when this fourth, and final, DVD set, which was meant to be released in September 2013, was canceled by Shout Factory due to low sales for the other sets. However, these fans may now rejoice as the set has been uncanceled and is available now, but only on Shout's website as part of their Shout Select series. At any rate, this set is another must have for VR Troopers fans, though those hoping to see a proper conclusion to the series will likely be disappointed.
The second half of Season Two continues the saga of Ryan. Kaitlin, and JB, a.k.a the VR Troopers; and their never ending fight against Grimlord and his army of mutants. In the twenty episodes contained on this disc, our heroes deal with a computer that can duplicate anything (including Grimlord's mutants), a pet that eats everything until it becomes a deadly monster, a new recurring villain called Knighttime who possesses the power to send the Troopers back in time and have time come to a complete halt, and much more. Some of my favorite episodes on this set includes Santa's Little Trooper, a Christmas episode with some cute and touching moments, and Get Me to the Lab on Time, in which some love potion causes Kaitlin and the obnoxious Percy to fall in love with each other, leading to much hilarity!There's plenty to love about this set, and VR Troopers is as awesome now as it was when it debuted nearly twenty years ago, but one little disappointing aspect about the set is that the series was never given a proper conclusion of any sort. The Troopers would never defeat Grimlord for good, nor would they even find out what his true identity is. As I understand it, the show's cancellation was on account of Saban having run out of Japanese footage for the show, and instead of either creating more American footage or using more Japanese footage from other shows, they canceled it in favor of Big Bad Beetleborgs. I know I'd give anything to see the show wrap up in a proper manner, but alas, the chances of that happening in this or any other lifetime are likely slim to none.
With that said, this is a solid set and a great way for fans to finish their collection. Having the entire series, or even just a handful of episodes, on DVD was a pipe dream for me not too long ago, but Shout Factory has gone above and beyond to release all 92 episodes on DVD, and for this, I am very happy. Those of you who have been wanting this set, run, don't walk, to Shout's website and order it today. Aside from the lack of a proper series conclusion, you most certainly won't be disappointed!

The story of a young woman's alleged sexual relations with the pastor of a popular Abuja church has gone viral over the past few days. I read that blog of hers agape and immediately called Asa, a devout member of the church for comments. Later that Friday evening, I met with another friend of ours and that was the topic of discussion. This friend was so sure that the allegations were true. He had done his 'research' and analysed her narration closely enough to sense the truth in every letter she had written.
Truthfully, I didn't want to think about it. I couldn't just bear to think for a second that it could be true. Another sheep lured by the wolf? No. Can't be!
I got home that day, and as I sat on the bed, Ese's words on her alleged relationship with the pastor struck me again. As I thought on these things, I came to the following conclusions:
> God is omniscient (He knows everything and in this case, the entire truth -as do the pastor and the girl)
> God alone judges (He without sin should cast the first stone)
> The Christian race should not be taken lightly. The bible encourages that we work our salvation with fear and trembling
> Flee ALL APPEARANCES of evil
> Better to be 'disgraced' on earth where one can still make amends than 'celebrated' here only to be rejected in Heaven where there is no opportunity for repentance and the consequence is eternal damnation
> In all things, give thanks. Getting 'caught' in sinful acts should be seen as an opportunity to repent and make amends. After all, God chastens only those He loves. If he didn't chasten us, we'd continue in our wrong doings and keep advancing in our erring ways till we are eventually lost beyond redemption (God forbid!)
> It's easy to take for granted the Grace God makes available to us His children
> We are often quick to assess and give opinions about other people; what they should or shouldn't have done, oh how disappointed we are at their actions etc; whoever made us judges!
> There will be trials of our Faith, but if we hold on to God, we can only come out stronger
> There's a need to continuously examine ourselves; whether or not we are still in Faith
God is not interested in the death of sinners but that all may come to repentance. No matter the degree of our mistakes and errors, God is ever willing to forgive, accept and keep us if only we confess and abide in Him.
As the days pass by and immorality seems to be the order of the day, the Christian should be focussed (looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our Faith) and determined to walk the narrow path till the end. God through His Holy Spirit is ever willing to help and keep us in Faith till His face in glory we see.
The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us now and forevermore. Amen.
Have a Blessed September folks!

The all-state forward originally committed to USC, before decommitting and picking St. John's.
After several months, J'Raan Brooks is back where he started.
Just over a week after winning the Class 3A state boys basketball title with Garfield, the 6-foot-9 senior committed to USC on Sunday, he announced on Instagram and Twitter.
"I will be wearing cardinal and gold for the next 4 years…. Dreams do come true! FTFO I'm Officially committed to the U. Of Southern California Trojans!" he said on Instagram.
Brooks originally committed to USC but decommitted in October because of the recruiting and bribery scandal across college basketball. He committed to St. John's on Christmas Eve and decommitted last month.
Brooks, who was on The Seattle Times' Star Times and All-State teams, is the No. 2 player in the state (and No. 79 in the nation) for the Class of 2018, according to 247Sports.com. The No. 1 player in the state, Rainier Beach's Kevin Porter Jr., who Brooks' Garfield team beat for the state title, is also committed to USC.
The website listed Washington as the favorite to land Brooks.

text: Nofollow Links to Great Content? Author Piotr Mikulski Read bio What are nofollow links? These are links that have had the HTML tag rel="nofollow" applied. This tag tells search engines to disregard the link. Since nofollow links don't pass PageRank they won't influence search engine rankings.At Elephate we believe that content marketing isn't only about getting links, positions, and traffic. It should be something more. In our opinion good content should always provide solid value to users, it should inspire people to achieve great feats, and it should raise emotions and discussions worldwide. So why would you give nofollow links to great content? Please, don't do this as it makes me and countless other content marketers really, really sad.That said, could we please have that link?The SituationNo matter how many lofty words we use to describe our work, our main goals are getting links (dofollow), achieving high positions in SERPs, and ultimately raising traffic while trying to improve the brand's reception (PR) as well. To achieve all of these goals at the same time, we've got to do things right. Doing things right in content marketing includes, but is not limited to:Creating novel, genuinely interesting (for example data-driven) content that people will really likeDeciding which websites and audiences would be interested in this contentGetting to know these websites, learning something about their owners, and (hopefully) finding context for our contentReaching out personally and politely (no "Hi webmaster" BS), providing unique lead posts and other assets (eq. infographics) to make things as convenient as possible for webmasters/bloggers/journalistsImplementing and asking for links that are well thought, logically placed, and provide a clear benefit for usersAt Elephate we take our time to ensure that our pitch will stand out from the crowd and benefit the recipient. So let's say it does. Let's say we get that "connection" with an editor. He really likes what we did. He wants to publish it, maybe even with commentary. He tells us when it will be online. We wait.The publication day is getting closer. We get champagne and cake and everything. Then it goes online. At first glance it looks good, links and everything. But wait…Are these… nofollow?!?We get in touch with the editor:– Why have you nofollowed our links? Is there something wrong with our website?-No, it's just a policy we have. You're a commercial site so if you want dofollow links, I'll forward you to our sales department. ………………Okay, okay, I'm calm now. The point is: You Got it all WrongThere's a common misconception in the SEO community that linking out with a dofollow attribute will hurt your website. Always, no matter what. And I dare to call bull on that. Why? Let me give you a few reasons:Google Endorses ItLet's start with the official Google stance on it:TL:DR: you should use nofollow when the target website may be malicious or has questionable content, if you received money for the link, or internally if you don't want to waste the crawling budget.For Google, it's actually a good thing to create links to valuable content as they are pathways for their bots. So why in the hell would they lower your rankings for it?Sounds pretty illogical, eh?It Can Sometimes Help your WebsiteLinking out to valuable resources to direct your users just the right way may even be rewarded by Google, and although I wasn't able to find a clear statement from them on this matter (no surprise here, it's Google), there are quite a few reliable resources confirming this.There's an algorithm called Hilltop, which I believe still is a part of Google's main algorithm. What does it do, you may ask? To explain it in layman's terms: Hilltop labels some websites of high quality as "expert resources" and actually increases the rankings of websites that link to them.The catch is – we don't know which websites are labeled as such. If you're wondering whether or not to link to a website that looks solid, ask yourself if it may be an "expert" in its field according to Hilltop. If it is, it will definitely be worth your while, and your rankings, to provide dofollow links to the site.User Benefit Should Be your Ultimate GoalGoogle's mission is to make the internet a better place. Content marketers (at least good content marketers, like us) have the exact same goal – to inform, educate, entertain, and generally do something good for regular users, and let them see it.If you can point your users towards valuable content, you should obviously do it. No matter if the content is located internally on your domain or externally on another. Believe me, they will be grateful and surely will return to you for more great stuff.Karma is RealThis one's really easy. If you link to someone, they will be more willing to give you a link, either now or in the future. Reciprocity is actually one of the evolutionary reasons we're at the top of the food chain, and this basic mechanism hasn't changed since the time we were cave dwellers.I've Tested it PersonallyIf you're not convinced yet, I would like to add one more thing: I've added external links to blog posts countless times and it has never ended badly. Zero drops in visibility or traffic. That's probably because I always choose the best resources possible and place them where they not only look natural but where users need them. How it did end was with some reciprocal links, and if the growth graphs of our customers is any indicator, quite happy users.

Upcoming Syria peace talks remain focused on negotiating a "political transition" in the war-ravaged country, the UN mediator's office said Tuesday, following concern the UN was backing away from that aim.
United Nations envoy Staffan de Mistura had appeared reluctant in recent days to use the term "political transition" — a term the opposition has linked to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's removal from office.
De Mistura's chief of staff, Michael Contet, told reporters that Security Council Resolution 2254, which calls for "negotiations on the political transition process", was still the basis for the talks set to begin in Geneva on Thursday.
Political transition and the opposition's insistence that Assad quit power have been a main sticking point in previous rounds of negotiations.
The Damascus government has categorically insisted that the president's fate is not up for discussion.
Since April 2016, when rival delegations were last in the Swiss city, the opposition has seen its position weakened substantially, as government forces have recaptured territory including the former rebel bastion of eastern Aleppo.
The opposition has also seen its biggest supporters — the United States and Turkey — show signs of shifting their positions, prompting concern in rebel ranks that their demands for Assad's departure may go unheard.
US President Donald Trump's administration has said it is "re-looking at everything" about its involvement in Syria, and Turkey last month said last month it was no longer "realistic" to insist on a solution to the Syria conflict that excluded Assad.
But Ahmad Ramadan, a spokesman for the opposition National Coalition, insisted to AFP that "the main issue in this round will be the political transition."
"The opposition delegation will focus on a proposition to form a transitional governance body," he said, adding that it would "present a complete plan on the topic including how it will be executed based on international resolutions."
Contet meanwhile said the discussions would centre on the "establishment of a credible, inclusive and non-sectarian governance," as well as "a schedule and process for drafting a new constitution, and… free and fair elections."
His comments came as 40 human rights organisations called for the talks to focus heavily on ending the rampant rights violations that have characterised Syria's nearly six-year conflict, in more than 310,000 have been killed and millions more displaced.
"One of the main goals of the Geneva talks should be putting an end to the violations against Syrians who have faced bombing, chemical attacks, starvation, illegal detention, and more horrors," said Lama Fakih of Human Rights Watch in a joint statement.

Lunar New Year 2019 Lottery Campaign
Choeriswangqiji last edited by Reward
Kindly be informed that the change in the amount of winnings from the previous version of the campaign is due to two reasons:
First, we have been alerted by members of the community to the high likelihood of receiving spam requests. The adjustment of the winnings is meant to reduce the risk of attracting attention from spammers.
Second, we would like to increase the frequency of campaigns in the future, and therefore the reward amount per campaign will need to be adjusted accordingly.
For any questions, please contact us here, or on Discord or Telegram.

An international cap is often regarded as an approval of a players ability and seen as one of the proudest moments in a player's career. Winning an international cap for Germany or Brazil is obviously far more difficult than winning one for San Marino or Haiti though. Having said that, you would think that if a player was good enough, they would still rise to the top and receive international honors, regardless of competition.
Unsurprisingly, the majority of players on this list come from nations with highly respectable footballing pedigree, with English, German and Italian players featuring more than any other nationality. Some players missed out purely because they came on the scene during an era of outstanding ability in their position. Others fell victim to national rules or requirements, and some appear to have no valid reason why they didn't get a call-up.
You may expect this list to be made up of only half-decent, mostly second-rate players, yet it includes players who have won various domestic and European honors for their clubs and are some of the finest players in their respective positions. The list includes one currently active player, although it is probably fair to say their chance of winning a cap has been and gone, hence their inclusion. Here are the top 15 greatest uncapped soccer players.
15 Micky Hazard - England
The English national team has a history of overlooking naturally talented flair players in favor of more reliable and industrious one's, and few typify that better than the overlooking of Micky Hazard for the England team in the 1980's. Hazard played alongside the likes of Ossie Ardiles and Glenn Hoddle for Spurs, where he played an integral role in their 1984 UEFA Cup success, scoring in the semi-final and assisting twice in the final. That season saw him win his first call-up, but he was never capped, and retired in 1995.
14 Steve Bruce - England
Manchester United legend Steve Bruce formed a formidable center-back partnership with Gary Pallister at Old Trafford, where he won three Premier League titles and three FA Cup's. Whilst Pallister was the more talented of the pair, Bruce was a very solid defender, who even captained the club for two years. Given all that, it is difficult to believe he never won a solitary cap for his country. Bruce retired in 1999, after 926 games and 113 goals, making him one of the highest scoring defenders in the history of the English game.
13 John McGovern - Scotland
John McGovern may not have been the most technically gifted player you've ever seen, but there must have been a reason that wherever Brian Clough went, he tried to sign the Scotsman, and more often than not, he did. At 19, he was the youngest player in history to play in all four divisions of the Football League. He won the First Division title twice, once with Derby County and once with Nottingham Forest and won the European Cup twice with Forest. These achievements somehow went unrecognized by the Scottish selectors, and despite winning caps at under-23 level, he never won a full cap for his country.
12 Stefan Klos - Germany
Stefan Klos won two Bundesligas, four SPLs, three Scottish Cups, one Intercontinental Cup and one Champions League, during 254 outings for Borussia Dortmund and 208 for Rangers. Clearly then, he was a very talented and respected goalkeeper, yet he never won a cap for Germany. Klos did have the likes of Oliver Kahn, Andreas Kopke and Jens Lehmann to compete with, but it's still difficult to believe he never got the nod after such a long and successful career. Despite never winning a full cap for Germany, he did represent both the German under-21 team and their 1992 Olympic team.
11 Ralph Milne - Scotland
Given Scotland's less than illustrious footballing pedigree for a number of years now, it may surprise some to see two of their players feature on this list. Ralph Milne was a very naturally gifted footballer, who should have achieved much more than he actually did. He came through the ranks at Dundee United and was an integral part of the greatest period in the club's history. He remains Dundee United's top scorer in Europe, including goals against Monaco and Borussia Monchengladbach.
Alex Ferguson later described him as his worst ever signing, but that was after Milne's career had been ruined by alcohol and smoking. Had he been managed better he could have been one of the finest players Scotland ever produced, and even as a player who never reached his full potential he should have won at least a handful of caps in the 1980s.
10 Mikel Arteta - Spain
Being a Spanish midfielder in the last decade is up there with the most competitive positions in any national team's history. Arteta had to compete with the likes of Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Sergi Busquets, Xabi Alonso, Cesc Fabregas and many more. As such, it's easier to see why Arteta has never won a cap compared to others on this list. Yet after a decade of consistent performances in the Premier League, he can be considered unlucky never to have represented his country. The only active player on this list, now aged 33, it seems unlikely Arteta will ever get the nod.
9 Carlo Cudicini - Italy
The goalkeeping position is often the hardest to break into for a national team. Injuries to goalkeepers are rare and rotation in the position is less common than outfield places. Carlo Cudicini though was an outstanding goalkeeper, who would have been Chelsea's no.1 for a long time were it not for the brilliance of Petr Cech. Cudicini was even Chelsea's Player of the Year in 2002 and despite being a regular for Italy's youth sides, he was never able to win a cap past the formidable Gigi Buffon. Perhaps more surprisingly, in 2002, the year Cudicini was named Chelsea's best player, he didn't even make Italy's 2002 World Cup squad.
8 Horst Blankenburg - Germany
Horst Blankenburg was an outstanding sweeper whose best days came with Ajax and Hamburg. Over the course of his career he won the Bundesliga, Eredevisie, DFB-Pokal and most impressively the European Cup three times with Ajax. Regardless of his achievements, Blankenburg was always going to find international honors hard to come by, given that the man in front of him was Germany's greatest ever player, Franz Beckenbauer. Blankenburg received a call-up by Holland in 1974, but refused, still hoping for a German call-up which never arrived.
7 Dario Hubner - Italy
Dario Hubner was eligible for both Italy and Germany, given that his father was German, but having been born, raised and living in Italy all his life and unable to even speak German, Hubner considered himself an Italian. Sometimes criticized for his lack of work rate, Hubner was an instinctive striker who scored prolifically. He scored 262 goals in 543 games over his career, including becoming the oldest Serie A top scorer in 2001-02 at the age of 35, a record which was beaten by 38-year-old Luca Toni last season.
With Italy boasting forwards such as Inzaghi, Totti, Del Piero, Vieri and more at the time, Hubner had much competition, but his goals warranted a cap, and he probably would have won one had he played for one of Italy's top sides. Hubner only ever played for mid-lower Serie A teams.
6 Albert Stubbins - England
With all due respect to recent England internationals such as Danny Ings, Jamie Vardy and Rickie Lambert, it shows how far the English national team has fallen over the years. Just after WWII, Albert Stubbins was Liverpool's star centre-forward, in a squad which won the First Division title in 1947. In total, he scored 75 goals in 159 games for Liverpool, and is regarded as one of the greatest English players to never win a cap. Stubbins later claim to fame came in 1967, when he featured on the cover of the legendary Beatles album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
5 Paolo Di Canio (Italy)
As mad as he was brilliant, Paolo Di Canio is a proud and self-confessed fascist, who even has a tattoo of Benito Mussolini on his back. Few can question his loyalty to Italy then, and there's no doubt that he would have taken great pride in representing his country. Despite playing for Italian giants such as Lazio, Juventus, Napoli and AC Milan, as well as taking the Premier League by storm, particularly with West Ham, Di Canio never received so much as a call-up, although he did play for Italy's under-21 side.
4 Jimmy Case - England
Quite possibly the greatest English player to never play for England, Jimmy Case was part of the legendary Liverpool team of the late 1970s and early 80s. The England squad was very Liverpool-centric at that time, with three of Case's Liverpool midfield teammates in the squad; Terry McDermott, Ian Callaghan and Alan Kennedy, yet Case somehow failed to pick up a single cap. Liverpool manager Bob Paisley criticized the decision, saying it forced the other three into doing jobs they weren't used to in Case's absence. Case won four league titles, three European Cups and one UEFA Cup in an incredibly successful spell at Anfield.
3 Mario de Castro - Brazil
The most prolific goal scorer in football history, with an average of 1.95 goals per game, Mario de Castro is up there with some of the finest players of the pre-war era. His career was short but outstanding. He began playing late having been denied the chance to play football by his mother, and it ended early, after he retired due to an opposition fan being shot by his club director.
In total, he scored 195 goals in 100 games for Atletico Mineiro. He was the first player from outside of Rio and Sao Paolo to be called up to the Brazil squad, but rejected the call-up when he was told he would be the second choice striker and was never called upon again.
2 Agostino Di Bartolomei - Italy
Legendary Roma midfielder Agostino Di Bartolomei is often described as the greatest Italian not to represent the country's national team. He was a cult hero at Roma, where he spent 12 years, captaining the team for four and often being regarded as the club's star player. A gifted playmaker, he won three Coppa Italias, one Serie A and lost in a European Cup final to Liverpool on penalties with Roma, before transferring to AC Milan.
Remarkably, he never won a single cap for Italy, despite scoring seven in eight from midfield for Italy's under-21s. In 1994, aged 39, Bartolomei shocked the world of football when he committed suicide by shooting himself in the head having suffered from depression.
1 Bert Trautmann - Germany
The greatest player to never be capped by his country, Bert Trautmann was a world class goalkeeper. The German shot-stopper recently made our list of the top 25 greatest goalkeepers in history, which is a mark of just how good Trautmann was. A former Luftwaffe paratrooper who was captured by the British, there was some trepidation when he was signed by Manchester City in 1949, but despite 20,000 protesting his signing, Trautmann won over the majority of Manchester City fans with his marvellous and brave performances, spending 15 years with the club, playing with a broken back on one occasion and winning an FA Cup.
Trautmann was unable to represent Germany at the time due to a rule against fielding non-domestic based players at the time, a rule which even saw Franz Beckenbauer dropped after he left the Bundesliga. Although West Germany won the 1954 World Cup without Trautmann he certainly would have made them a stronger team. He was a better goalkeeper than German regulars Toni Turek, Heinz Kubsch, Heinz Kwiatkowski, Gunter Sawitzki and Fritz Herkenrath, and under today's more lenient German rules, he would probably have won a century of caps for his country.

The company has just added Argentina to its tally of global markets and plans to get into third party contract assembly once its presence in big volume markets like Indonesia and Thailand reach critical mass.
"We crossed 8,20,000 units in overall sales in FY18 and plan to hit 9,50,000 units in overall production this fiscal,'' said Lal. Critical to that near million production target is the capacity addition from phase 2 of the company's Vallam Vadagal plant near Chennai. "We will invest Rs 800 crore in the Vallam Vadagal phase 2 capacity expansion as well as in the Chennai technology centre and in product development this year,'' said Lal.
"The second phase of the Vallam Vadagal plant will start production towards Q2 or Q3 of next fiscal which will help with the switchover to BS6 as well. When it reaches peak capacity it will add 25,000-30,000 units a month or around 3,50,000 units a year to our overall capacity,'' he added.
As for exports, the company — which sold 19,000 units, up 26% in FY18 — is looking to consolidate its presence where it already has a foothold looking at growing its footprint from just 1-2 stores to 30-50 stores in the long term. It will also consider local assembly but through contract manufacturing.
"In markets like Thailand and Indonesia, the first step is to have market companies for marketing and distribution and the idea is that this should be followed by local assembly," said Lal. "Our preference is to contract manufacture rather than to set up our own assembly to avail of tax benefits," he said. The company is also getting into pre-owned motorcycle stores and plans to open 10 this year with a nationwide distribution format in place in the next few years.

Eicher took a Rs 187 crore write off on account of the closure of its joint venture with American auto major Polaris. This has sharply dented its profitability both in the fourth quarter as well as the overall year. "After Polaris, we are going to be 100% focussed on motorcycles only," said Lal categorically.
"There is no intention to enter anything else at this point and the only other part of our business will be VECV.'' Eicher will invest Rs 500 crore in VECV on new products, new technology and expansion of capacity. Eicher Motors consolidated PAT grew 18% at Rs 1,960 crore for FY17-18.

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras held talks today with Mayor Yannis Boutaris, and both agreed that the 19 May attack against Boutaris was organised.
"This was not a chance and isolated event, but rather a planned and organised attack,» Tsipras said.
Tsipras said that there were no links between Boutaris and his assailants, and that the mayor had in the past attended the memorial for the genocide of the Pontian Greeks every year, without incident.
Boutaris said that the four individuals who were tried and convicted are simply the small fry, and that authorities will pursue the organisers that masterminded the attack.
Denying early elections
Tsipras ruled out the prospect of early elections, but he hinted that he will support Boutaris candidacy in a prospective 2019 re-election bid.
The PM said that he would be foolish to not want to stay on after the August end of the bailout memorandum, when Greece will be "a country that decides for itself".
"The government's term ends in 2019. We are fighting to exit the memorandums," he said, noting he cannot understand why the main opposition is pushing for elections.
Tsipras also declared it will be a big victory for Greece if FYROM talks end with acceptance of a composite name.
He noted that the country has been known as Macedonia for 70 years, and that those who claim he is "giving away" the name Macedonia seem to forget that.
"We are attempting to get something, not to give away something that was given away 70 years ago by others," he said.
When the late Tito led Yugoslavia and named the region Macedonia, the then Greek government had not raised particular objections.
"Negotiations are in a critical phase. We are proceeding and defending our national position…They have no relation to Alexander the Great. They have Slavic and Albanian roots. For us to gain a marker before the name Macedonia is a major victory," Tsipras said.
