Be on the lookout for the new sunscreen labels as you start picking up your sunscreen stock.
First and foremost, there will be no more exaggerations on amount of time your skin is protected from the sun when in water and no more claims of "waterproof" as there is no such thing as waterproof sunscreen!
The new word is "water resistant". Huge difference. And in order to get the ability to claim water resistant, they had to prove it. One more step to better prevention from the damage the sun can give.
I'm so glad to see this new step to sun-safety. It seems that everyone I know believes sunscreen can last hours in the water, but the FDA made the sunscreen companies prove how long their sunscreens protected in the water.
This image is provided from the American Academy of Dermatology and it will help you pick the best sunscreen. (Click it to see a larger version.) Remember, brands are all personal choice, but these are the important things to look for when searching for your sunscreen.
On the new labels, you'll see whether the sunscreen:
- Is Broad Spectrum and has an SPF 15 or higher, which means the sunscreen protects against UVB and UVA rays and can help prevent skin cancer and sunburn.
- Has a Skin Cancer/Skin Aging Alert in the Drug Facts section of the label, which means the sunscreen will only prevent sunburn and does not reduce the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging.
- Is Water Resistant up to 40 minutes or 80 minutes which means the sunscreen provides protection while swimming or sweating up to the time listed on the label.
Water resistant up to 40 to 80 minutes. Surprised? Please observe the labels and reapply, reapply, reapply. Protecting your skin against the sun is the #1 way to prevent premature aging, sunspots and skin cancer.
Have you seen the new labels? Do you think they are easier to understand? What do you think about reapplying every 40-80 minutes?

Valentine's Day is quickly approaching and you might be on the search for a treat to bring to work, school, church, the neighbors, etc. If you're looking to impress, these are the choice for you! Would you believe me if I told you that these cookies are extremely easy to decorate? It only takes 3 colors of royal icing (red, white and pink) in 3 squeeze bottles and a handful of toothpicks. An off-set spatula to spread the icing is also helpful.
I saw these cute hearts originally on Karen's Cookie blog. Karen's Cookies is my latest favorite discovery. I've bought a few baking items from her store and plan to purchase more in the future. She recently started a blog to share photos of her delicious creations, including these cookies.
To create the marble hearts, you simply flood the cookie with the royal icing and then quickly dot the background with another color. While it's still wet, run a toothpick through the dots and they magically become hearts! Below is a quick photo tutorial on how to create the marble hearts on the cookies…
…and then a few photos on how to create the tie-dyed look.
Again, just make sure you are working one or two cookies at a time so that the icing is still wet. This causes the different colors to set into each other for flat results. A few more helpful hints? It helps to keep the bottles tipped upside down in glasses so they are ready to go. Additionally, keep paper towels nearby to wipe your toothpick(s) after each use. For more detailed instructions, visit Karen's Cookie blog.
I am now a fan of the royal icing recipe provided by Karen's Cookies and her sugar cookie recipe. Although, I do still like the original royal icing I used and will continue to use both. You'll be very proud of yourself after making these cookies. And, you'll have a hard time eating them since they're so pretty!
Sugar Cookie Hearts
- 1 cup butter , softened
- 1 cup superfine sugar (or granulated sugar processed in food processor for 30 seconds)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract , optional
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, sugar and salt at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg yolk and beat until fully incorporated. Mix in the whole egg, vanilla and optional almond extract. Beat until full mixed. Add the flour, then beat at low speed just until combined. Be careful to not over-mix. Divide the dough in half and wrap in plastic wrap. Store in fridge until firm, at least one hour and up to 2 days.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. On a floured work surface, roll the dough to 1/4-inch thick, sprinkling with additional flour as needed to prevent sticking. Use cookies cutters to cut into shapes and place on parchment or silicone-lined pans. Bake until cookies appear dry on the surface and are light golden brown on the edges, about 10 minutes (or a few more for larger cookies). Let sit for 2 minutes before removing from cookie sheets. Allow to cool completely on cooling racks before decorating.
Royal Icing 2
- 3 tablespoons meringue powder
- 4 cups (1 lb) powdered sugar
- 6 + tablespoons water
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract , optional
- Beat all ingredients together until stiff peaks form (about 10 minutes). Divide into separate containers, depending on how many colors you plan to use. Mix in food coloring. Add water to thin each color out so that when it runs off the spoon it quickly dissolves back into the remaining icing within 10 seconds. Add powdered sugar if need to thicken. Pour into squeeze bottles and decorate cookies.

Photographer's Note
I dedicate this image to Gert, our master people photographer on TE.
This is a sequel to my previous upload, just a few more shots from this remote village in Kathmandu Valley where I had an honour to spend a few days walking from place to place and meeting families impoverished by the 2015 earthquake.
Id like to introduce another member of Timilsina family Ramesh father. When we arrived, we found him busy, separating maize grain from the cobs.
Ive mentione him before: once in the note to this image (where I talk about the holy spot on the wall) and also as part of this story (it was him who gave up his bed so I could sleep in relative comfort).
Two more shots in WS.

Hello Kasia,
Another nice surprise. Thank you so much for the kind dedication, although I don't agree with your description of me. Three lovely photos that all could have been main uploads. I like the eye-contact with the man, the pile of corn-knobs, the fine light and the strong diagonal of the composition. The WS of the woman outside her house is a quiet reminder of the disaster of the earthquake that made so many buildings unsafe, even though they didn't all collapse.
Of course I must add this to my favourites.
Kind regards,

Hello Kasia,
Three great pictures and interesting notes on the harsh life of the Nepali, especially after the cruel earthquake that has destroyed so much.
It is really fantastic that you have been welcomed so kindly by these poor people.
It's the first time that I see cow dung drying on a wall ...
Best regards, Paul

Hi Kasia
That's quite a visual splash and interesting slice of daily life as people go about the day. On the one hand, you get to admire the beautiful display of the golden corns and on the other hand his intense concentration really lends superb sense of focus to the composition. Simple delight, good observation and timely shot, Congrats.
Warm regards

Cieszę sie że sie pokazałaś. Niesamowite, ze odiwedziłaś te miejsca i spotkłas dawnych znajomych czy przyjaciół z Nepalu. Smutne zdjecia, Minęło sporo czasu, a ślady tragedii sa ciagle widoczne. Ciekawe portrety. Interestujace zajęcie. Te kolby kukurydzy są chyba wyschnięte. I co dalej? Będzie z tego mąka? Te krowei placki suszące sie na ścianach znam dobrze z Indii. Tam szystko sie przydaje...

Hello Kasi,
Three very informative photographs, very clearly matching the objectives of this site.
This vertical photograph is a fine example of how to compose a photograph to get the best visual impression. You guide us irresistible from the spent cobs, to the piles of corn and then to the bare-footed worker. It is such a strong photograph.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Kasia
wow, another trio of great shots of these amazing people.
I really do need to travel here.
that Cow dung shot should be a main post for sure :) :)

I like seeing what he's using for a seat too, lots to see in this small shot. you seem to have a knack with these locals, you have a rapport with them.

Bonjour, Kasia,
Le monde est un livre et ceux qui ne voyagent pas n'en lisent qu'une page. J'aime votre façon de voyager en allant ŕ la découverte des habitants, d'apprendre, de partager.
Vos images en sont l'illustration.
Merci de nous faire vivre vos pérégrinations.

Hello Kasia
Beautiful portraits from your beloved Nepal. It is clear from your pictures that Nepal has more to offer than impressively high mountains.
Here you give a nice impression of everyday life as it continues after the earthquakes.
Excellent presentation
Have a good week, groet Rob

Jenifer Cooks
Licensed Professional Counselor
Some people want to have a big bang in their business name and many times that may make a difference whether or not if someone comes in their door. The name, Cooks Counseling, is simple and to the point. I do not want to have to try and convince someone the services are great or above what they have experienced before. I just want to provide good quality services to people who are hurting and looking for someone to listen and work through the issues with them.
Each of us has had a variety of experiences, some better than others. I believe our upbringing does affect the way we perceive relationships as well as how we see ourselves. However our upbringing does not have to define how we live out the rest of our lives.
I believe each person is valuable and as much as anything wants to be heard. My goal is to help each person that I work with deal with the issues that they are currently experiencing or issues that have not been addressed previously.

Occasion having been given us, which we never sought, we continue to improve it to the farther explanation and defence of our so much abused profession; that, if possible, people may see, at least the more sober and candid, that we are not at that distance from truth, nor so heterodox in our principles, as we have been, by too many, either rashly or interestedly represented: but that we hold the great truths of Christianity, according to the holy scriptures, and that the realities of religion are the mark we press after, abuse and awaken people from their false hopes and carnal securities, under which they are too apt to indulge themselves, to their irreparable loss; that by our setting Christian doctrine in a true light, and reviving and pressing the necessity of a better practice, they may see the obligation they are under to redeem their precious time they have lost, by a more careful employment of that which remains, to a better purpose. In this short vindication of our mistaken principles, the ingenious reader may easily discern how ill we have been treated, and what hardships we have laboured under, through the prejudice of some , and the unreasonable credulity of others, and that we are a people in earnest for heaven; and in that way our blessed Lord hath trod for us to glory.
By the observation we are led to make from Francis Bugg's late book, upon the bishop of Norwich's giving him his recommendatory letter to the clergy, &c. in his diocese, to relieve, by a collection, the necessities of that beggarly apostate; a copy of which letter the said F.B. hath published in his said book.
And also by the observation we have made on the malicious attempts of the "Snake in the Grass" in the first, second, and third editions, which is a disingenuous and unjust collection from F. Bugg,and some other deserters, of things, for the most part, a long answered; as also lately, by the book entitled, "An Antidote," &c. (though because his second and third edition have some additions to his first, and that being new vamped, for a better market, he may expect a melius inquirendum after a while; yet should we follow the example of this rattle snake, against the church of which he pretends to be a member, but at present a suspended one, we might in retaliation, not only exceed the "Cobbler of Gloucester," but the "Scotch Eloquence," and that master piece, "The Ground of Contempt of the Clergy:")
And, lastly, by the observation we have made on the relation subscribed by some of the Norfolk clergy, dated October 12th, 1698, we cannot forbear thinking, that as their confederacy is deep, so it aims at nothing less than the ruin of us, and our posterity, by rendering us blasphemers, and enemies to the government, and to be treated as such.
The Norfolk relation from the clergy aforesaid, charges the said people with blasphemy: first, Against God. Secondly, Against Jesus Christ. Thirdly against the holy scriptures, with contempt of civil magistracy, and the ordinances which Jesus Christ instituted, viz. baptism, by water, and the Lord's supper by bread and wine. And Lastly, That the light within, as taught by us, leaves us without any certain rule, and exposes us to the blasphemies aforesaid, with many others.
Now, because this charge refers to doctrine, rather than fact, or particular persons, we think ourselves concerned to say something in vindication of our profession, and wipe of the dirt thereby intended to be cast upon us, in giving our reader a plain account as our principles, free from the perversions of our enemies.
But to manifest how uncharitably and unjustly the said clergymen have reflected upon the people called Quakers, with respect to the said charge, we are contented the reader goes no farther than their own printed relation, dated Nov. 12, 1698, not doubting but by that very relation, and the letters therewith printed, he will meet with entire satisfaction, with respect to the reasonableness and justice of the Quakers' proceedings in that affair, and how ready they were to come to the test, and to bring the pretended charge upon the stage, and to purge themselves from the guilt of the same, provided they might be accommodated with what the common law allows malefactors, viz. a copy of their indictment; but this could not be obtained. And though the said clergy have thought fit to print the charge in general, without any proof, we think ourselves obliged to vindicate our profession, by freely declaring, ( as now we do, without any mental reservation) our sincere belief of the very things they most unjustly charge us with denying.
- [Concerning God] Because we declare that God is God "nigh at hand" and that he is, according to his promise, become the "Teacher of his people by his spirit in these later days;" and that "True believers are the temples for him to walk and dwell in," as the apostle teacheth; and experiencing something of the accomplishment of this great and glorious truth among us, and having therefore pressed people earnestly to the knowledge and enjoyment thereof, as the blessing and glory of the latter days; we have been ignorantly, or maliciously, represented and treated as heretics and blasphemers as if we owned no God in heaven above the stars, and confined the Holy One of Israel to our beings: whereas we believe him to be the Eternal, Incomprehensible, Almighty, All-wise and Omnipresent God, creator and upholder of all things, and that he fills heaven and earth, and that the "Heaven of heavens cannot contain him:" yet he saith, by the prophet Isaiah, "To that man will I have regard, that is poor, and of contrite spirit, and which trembles at my word." So that for professing that which is the very marrow of the Christian religion, viz. "Emanuel, God with us,'" we are represented blasphemers against that God, with whom we leave our innocent and suffering cause. Isa. Vii. Xiv. Xl xxviii. Xlviii. Xvii. Lxvi. 1, 2, 2 Cor. vi. 16. Rev. xxi. 3
- [Concerning Jesus Christ] Because we believe that the word which was made flesh, and dwelt amongst men, and was and is the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth; in whom he is well pleased, and whom we ought to hear all things; who tasted death for every man, and died for sin, that we might die to sin; is the great light of the world, and full of grace and truth, and he lighteth every man that comes into the world, and giveth them grace for grace, and light for light, and that no man can know God and Christ, (whom to know is life eternal) and themselves, in order to true convection and conversion, without receiving and obeying this holy light, and being taught by the Divine grace; and that without it, no remission, no justification, no salvation (as the scripture plentifully testifies) can be obtained: and because we therefore press the necessity of people's receiving the inward and spiritual appearance of his Divine word, in order to a right and beneficial application of whatsoever he did for man, with respect to his life, miracles, death, sufferings, resurrection, ascension, and mediation; our adversaries would have us deny any Christ without us. First, As to his divinity, because they make us to confine him too within us. Secondly, As to his humanity, or manhood, because he was the Son of Abraham, David and Mary, according to the flesh, he cannot be in us, and therefore we are heretics and blasphemers: whereas we believe him, according to the Scripture to be the son of Abraham , David, and Mary after the flesh, and also God over all, blessed forever. So that he that is within us, is also without us, even the same that laid down his precious life for us , rose again from the dead, and ever liveth to make intercession for us, being the blessed and alone mediator betwixt God and man, and him by whom God will finally judge the worlds, both quick and dead,: all which we sincerely and steadfastly believe, as any other society of people, whatever may be ignorantly, or maliciously, insinuated to the contrary, either by our declared enemies, or mistaken neighbours. Deut. xv. 18. Mic. v.2. John I. 1.2.3. Rev. xxii.16
- [Concerning the Holy Scriptures] Because we assert the holy spirit to be the first great and general rule and guide of true Christians, as that by which God is worshiped, sin detected, conscience convicted, duty manifested, scripture unfolded and explained, and consequently the rule for understanding the scriptures themselves (since by it they were at first given forth) from hence our adversaries are pleased to make us blasphemers of the holy scriptures, undervaluing their authority, preferring our own books before them, with more to that purpose: whereas, we, in truth and sincerity, believe them to be of divine authority, given by the inspiration of God, through holy men; they speaking or writing them as they were moved by the Holy Ghost; that they are a declaration of those things most surely believed by the primitive Christians, and that as they contain the mind and will of God, and are his commands to us so they, in that respect, are his declaratory word; and therefore are obligatory on us , and are "profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be perfect, and thoroughly furnished to every good work." Nay after all, so unjust is the charge, and so remote from our belief concerning the holy scriptures, that we both love, honour, and prefer them, before all books in the world; ever choosing to express our belief of the Christian faith and doctrine in the terms thereof, and rejecting all principles or doctrines whatsoever, that are repugnant thereunto. Nevertheless, we are well persuaded, that not withstanding there is such an excellency in the holy scriptures, as we have above declared, yet the unstable and unlearned in Christ's school to often wrest them to their own destruction. And upon our reflection or their carnal constructions of them, we are made undervalues of scripture itself. But certain it is, that as the Lord has been pleased to give us the experience of the fulfilling of them in measure, so it is altogether contrary to our faith and practice, to put any manner of slight or contempt upon them, much more of being guilty of what maliciously is suggested against us; since no society of professed Christians in the world can have a more reverent and honourable for them than we have. John iv. 24. and xvi 8. Rom. I. 19. Luke I. 1, 2. Tim. Iii. 16, 17. 2 Pet. Iii. 16.
- [Concerning Magistracy] Because we have not actively complied with divers statutes, which have been made to force an uniformity to what we have no faith in, but the testimony of our conscience is against; and because, for conscience sake, we could not give those marks of honour and respect, which were and are the usual practice of those that "seek honour one of another, and not that honour which comes from God only," ( but measure and weigh honour and respect in a false balance and deceitful measure, on which neither magistrate, ruler or people, can depend,) we say, because we could not, for conscience sake, give flattering titles, &c. we have been rendered as despisers and condemners of magistracy: whereas are principles, often repeated upon the many revolutions that have happened, do evidently manifest the contrary;as well as our peaceable behaviour from the beginning, under all the various forms of government, hath been an undeniable plea in our favour, when those that also have professed the same principles of non-resistance and passive obedience, have quitted their principles, and yet quarrel with us, upon a supposition that we will, in time, write after their copy; which, as nothing more contrary to our principles, faith, and doctrine, so nothing can be more contrary to our constant practice. For we not only really believe magistracy to be an ordinance of God, but esteem it an extraordinary blessing, where it is "a praise to them that do well, and a terror to evil-doers:" which that it may be so in this our native land, is the fervent desire of our souls, that the blessing and peace of God may be continued thereupon, Job xxxii. 21. John v. 44. Acts v. 29. 1 Peter ii. 13. 14.
- [Concerning Baptism] Because we do not find in any place in the four evangelists, that Jesus Christ instituted baptism by water to come in the room of circumcision, or to be baptism proper to his kingdom, which stands "in righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost;" we are therefore rendered as contemners of Christ's baptism: whereas the baptism of Jesus Christ, of which he was Lord and administrator according to the nature of his office and kingdom, is, even by John the Baptist, declared to be that of fire (not water) and of the Holy Ghost, of which water-baptism was but the forerunner, and is, by them that now practice it, called but the outward and visible sign of the inward and spiritual grace; and therefore not the grace itself; which grace hath the apostle saith, is sufficient for us, and which we believe, profess, and experience to be come by Jesus Christ, who is the substance of all signs and shadows to true believers; he being no more a Jew or a Christian that is one outwardly, by the cutting or washing of the flesh; but he is a Jew or Christian who is one inwardly, and circumcision and baptism is of the heart, in the Spirit, and not in the letter, whose praise is therefore not of men, but of God: and this baptism Christ preferred and recommended at his farewell to his disciples: in reverence and duty to whom, to say nothing of the abuse of water-baptism, we decline the use thereof, Mark I 8. Luke iii. 16. John I. 17. Acts I 5. Romans ii. 28,29. 1 Cor I. 17. 2 Cor. Xii. 9.
- [Concerning Breaking Bread, &c.] Because we also disuse the outward ceremony of breaking bread and drinking wine, which is commonly called the Lords supper, we are therefore rendered deniers and contemners of the Lord's supper: whereas the inward and spiritual grace, thereby signified, viz. That bread which came down from heaven, which Christ prefers to the bread the fathers eat in the wilderness (which did not keep them from death) and that cup which he promised to drink anew with his disciples in his fathers kingdom, we not only believe, but reverently partake of, to our unspeakable comfort, which is rightly and truly the communion of the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, who said, "Except you eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his blood, you have no life in you," Johnvi. 53, 63. "for it is the spirit that quickens, the flesh profits nothing:" It was also his promise to all those who would open to his knocks, viz. That he would come in, and sup with them;" which inward and spiritual coming, we have both known, and testified to; feeling the blessed effects thereof in our souls, and knowing the outward breaking of the bread and drinking of wine, in the way commonly practised, is no more than it is declared to be, viz. And outward and visible sign: why, then should any contend about it, and render us unchristian, for misusing what themselves allow to be but an outward and visible sign? And that none can reasonably believe to be an essential part of religion, as is the bread from heaven; of which the outward is, at best, but a signification: but the wine that Christ promised to drink with his disciples anew, is such an essential, that without it none have, nor can have eternal life,. Matthew xxvi. 29. Mark xiv. 25. John vi. 41, 50, 51, 58, 63, Rev iii. 20.
- [Concerning the Light of Christ] Because we assert the sufficiency of the light within, it being the light of Christ, viz. That if men live up to the teaching thereof, in all manner of faithfulness and obedience, "they shall not abide in darkness, but have the light of life and salvation, and the blood of Christ shall cleanse them from all sin;" our adversaries from thence conceive, that we undervalue the rule of holy scriptures, and all outward means, as having no need thereof, since we have such a means and rule within us, and that this leaves us without any certain rule, and exposes us to many blasphemies, &c. whereas the light within (or Christ by his light inwardly teaching) was never taught by us in opposition to, or contempt of, any outward means, that God, in his wisdom and providence, affords us for our edification and comfort, no more than did that blessed apostle, who said "You need not that any man should teach you, but as the same anointing teacheth you all things, and is truth and is no lie," John xii. 46. 1 John I. 6, 7. 1 John I 2, 27.
- [Concerning the Father, the Word and the Spirit] Because we have been very cautious in expressing our faith concerning that great mystery, especially in such school terms and philosophical distinctions as are unscriptural, if not unsound, (the tendency whereof hath been to raise frivolous controversies and animosities amongst men) we have, by those that desire to lesson our Christian reputation, been represented as deniers of the Trinity at large: whereas we ever believed, and as constantly maintained, the truth of the blessed (holy scripture) "three that bare record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Spirit, and that these three are one;" the which we both sincerely and reverently believe, according to 1 John v. 7. And this is sufficient for us to believe and know, and hath a tendency to edification and holiness; when the contrary centers only in imaginations and strife, and persecution, where it runs high, and to parties, as may be read in bloody characters in the Ecclesiastical Histories.
- [Concerning Works] Because we make evangelical obedience a condition to salvation, and works wrought in us by the Spirit to be an evidence of faith, and holiness of life to be both necessary and rewardable it hath been insinuated against us, as if we hoped to be saved by our own works, and so make them the meritorious cause of our salvation, and consequently Popish. Whereas we know, that it is not by works of righteousness that we can do, but b7 his own free grace he is pleased to accept of us, through faith in, and obedience to, his blessed Son the Lord Jesus Christ, Hebrews v. 9. and xii. 14
- [Of Christ being our Example] Because, in some cases, we have said, the Lord Jesus was our great example, and that his obedience to his Father doth not excuse ours; but as by keeping his commandments, he abode in his Fathers love; some have been so ignorant, ( or that which is worse) as to venture to say for us, or in our name, that we believe our Lord Jesus Christ was, in all things, but an example. Whereas we confess him to be so much more than a example, that we believe him to be most acceptable sacrifice to God his Father; who, for his sake, will look upon fallen men, that hath justly merited the wrath of God, upon his return by repentance, faith, and obedience, as if he had never sinned at all, 1 John. ii. 12. Romans iii. 26. and x. 9, 10. Hebrews. v. 9.
- [Concerning Freedom from Sin] Because we have urged the necessity of a perfect freedom from sin,and a thorough sanctification in body, soul, and spirit, whilst on this side of the grave, by the operation of the holy and perfect Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to the testimony of holy scripture, we are made so presumptuous, as to assert the fullness of all perfection and happiness to be attainable in this life: whereas we are not only sensible of those human infirmities that attend us, whilst clothed with flesh and blood; but know that here we can only "know in part and see in part:" the perfection of wisdom, glory, and happiness, being reserved for another and better world. John viii.24, 25, Hebrews. Xiii20, 21, and vi.
- [Concerning Worship to God] Because we say, with the apostle, that men ought to pray, preach, sing, &c. with the spirit, and that without the preparation and assistance of it, no man can rightly worship God, (all worship without it being formal and carnal) from hence ignorance, or envy, suggests against us, that if God will not compel us by his Spirit, he must go without his worship whereas nothing can be more absurd, since without it "no man can truly call Jesus Lord:" besides it is our duty to wait upon him, who hath promised, not to compel, but to fill them with renewing of strength, that so wait upon him, by which they are made capable to worship him acceptably, be it in praying, preaching or praising of God: and how warrantable our practice herein is from holy scripture, see Psalm xxv. 5. xxxvii 7 xxvii.14 cxxx. 5, 6, Hosea xii 6.
- [Of God and Christ being in Man] Because we say, as do the holy scriptures, that God is light, and that Christ is light, and that God 9is in Christ , and that Christ by his light, lighteth every man that cometh into the world, and dwelleth in them, and with them, that obey him in his spiritual manifestations; people have been told by our adversaries, that we believe every man has whole God, and whole Christ, in him, and consequently so many Gods and Christ, as men: whereas we assert nothing herein, but in the language of the Holy Ghost in the scriptures of truth; and mean no more by it, than that God is in Christ, so Christ by his Spirit and light, dwelleth in the hearts of his people, to comfort and to consulate them; as he does in wicked men to reprove and condemn them, as well as to call, enlighten and instruct them, that out of that state of condemnation they may come, and by believing in him, may experience their hearts cured of the maladies sin hath brought upon them, in order to complete salvation from sin here, and from wrath to come hereafter, 2 Cor. v. 9. 1 John I. 5.
- [Of Christ coming both in Flesh and Spirit] Because the tendency (generally speaking) of our ministry, is to press people to the inward and spiritual appearance of Christ, by his spirit and grace in their hearts, to give them a true sight and sense of, and sorrow for, sin, to amendment of life, and practice of holiness; and because we have often opposed that doctrine of being actually justified by the merits of Christ, whilst actual sinners against God, by living in the pollutions of this wicked world; we are by our adversaries rendered such, as either deny, or undervalue the coming of Christ without us, and the force and efficacy of his death and sufferings, as a propitiation for the sins of the whole world. Whereas we do, and hope we ever shall (as we always did) confess, to the glory of God the Father, and the honour of his dear and beloved Son, That he, to wit, Jesus Christ, took our nature upon him, that he was born of the virgin Mary, went about amongst men doing good, and working many miracles: that he was betrayed by Judas into the hands of the chief priests, &c. that he suffered death under Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor, being crucified between two thieves, and was buried in the sepulchre of Joseph of Arimathea: rose again the third day from the dead, and ascended into heaven, and sits at God's right hand in the power and majesty of his Father; and that by him God the Father, will one day judge the whole world, both of quick and dead, according to their works.
- [Concerning the Resurrection] Because from the authority of the holy scripture, as well as right reason, we deny the resurrection of the same gross and corruptible body, and are neither over inquisitive nor critical about what bodies we shall have at the resurrection, leaving it to the Lord to give us such bodies as he pleases, (and with that we are well pleased and satisfied, and wish all others were so too): from hence we are made not only deniers of the resurrection of any body at all, however spiritual or glorified, but eternal rewards too. Whereas, if it were true, as it is notoriously false, we were indeed, of all men most miserable: but blessed be God, it is so far from being true, that we most steadfastly believe, that as our Lord Jesus Christ was raised from the dead, by the power of the Father, and was the first fruits of the resurrection, so every man, in his own order, shall arise; they that have done well, to the resurrection of eternal life: but they that have done evil: to everlasting condemnation. And because we are people whose education hath not afforded us an accuracy of language, some passages may perhaps have been miss-expressed, or improperly worded (as for instance one of us hath denied in his book, the soul to be finite: by which he plainly meant mortal, or final, to die, or have an end, which finis signifies, from whence finite comes); our uncharitable opposer have concluded, we hold the soul to be infinite, and consequently God: whereas the words before and after, as well as the nature of the things, shows plainly, he only meant that it is eternal, and so not finite, that is, not terminable, or that which shall come to an end. And also, because we have not declared ourselves, about matters of faith, in the many and critical words "that man's wisdom teacheth," but in the words which the "Holy Ghost teacheth," we have been esteemed either ignorant, or equivocal and unsound,: whereas it is really a matter of conscience to us, to deliver our belief in such words as the Holy Spirit in scripture, teacheth; and if we add more for illustration, it is from an experience of the work of the same Spirit in ourselves; which seems to us the truest way of expounding scripture, in what concerns saving knowledge.
- [Concerning Separation] Because we are separated from the public communion and worship, it is too generally concluded that we deny the doctrines received by the church, and consequently introduce a new religion: where as we differ least, where we are thought to differ most; for setting aside some school terms, we hold the substance of those doctrines believed by the Church of England, as to God, Christ, Spirit, scripture, repentance, sanctification, remission, of sin, holy living, and the resurrection of the just and unjust to eternal rewards and punishments. But that wherein we differ most, is about worship and conversation, and the inward qualification of the soul by the work of God's Spirit thereon, in pursuance of these good and generally received doctrines. For it is the Spirit of God only convinces and converts the soul, and makes those that were dead in trespasses and sins, and in the lusts, pleasures, and fashions, of this world, alive to God; that is, sensible of his mind and will, and of their duty to do them: and brings to know God, and his attributes, by the power of them upon their own souls; and leads to worship God rightly, which is in his spirit, and in truth, with heats sanctified by the truth; which is a living and acceptable worship, and stands in power, not formality, nor in the traditions and prescriptions of men, in synods, and convocations, but in the holy spirit. First, in showing us our real wants, and then in helping our infirmities with sighs and groans, and sometimes words, to pray for suitable supply, for which we in our meetings wait upon God, to quicken and prepare us, that we may worship him acceptably and profitably, for they go together. Now, because we are satisfied that all worship to God, and exhortations to men, as praying, praising, and preaching and every other religious duty, ought to be spiritually performed; and finding so little of it among professors of Christianity, the spirit of God having not that rule and guidance of them in their lives and worship, as it ought to have; and seeing them to generally satisfied with a ministry and worship of man's making, being not qualified, nor led by God's spirit thereunto; we cannot find that comfort and edification our souls crave and want, under so cold a ministry and worship. And for this cause, and no presumptuous contempt, or selfish separation, or worldly interests, are we, and stand we at this day, a separate people from the public communion; and in this we can comfortably appeal and recommend ourselves to God, the great and last judge of the acts and deeds of the sons of men. Lastly, Because at the time of our friends first appearing in this age, there were a sect of people newly sprung up, and truly called Ranters that were the reverse to the Quakers (for they feared and quaked at nothing, but made a mock at fearing of God, and at sin, and at hell) who pretended that love made fear needless, and that nothing was sin but to them that thought it so, and that none should be damned at last; whose extravagant practices, exactly correspond with their evil principles; from hence, some ignorantly and too many maliciously, involved us and ours with them; and many of their exorbitancies were thereby placed to our account, though without the least reason, truth or justice. And because some that were convinced of God's truth, afterwards dishonoured their profession, through their unfaithfulness to it; and that some pout of weakness, perhaps, may have improperly worded what they intended to say, the whole body of our friends have been made criminal, and the religion or principles we profess, have been condemned, and represented to the world, as heresy and blasphemy; an usage so unjust, that doubtless according to Lex Talionis , our adversaries would think it intolerable to be treated by us But as we desire not to render evil for evil, our Great Bishop having taught us another lesson, and better practices, so we desire God Almighty to forgive our causeless enemies, for his Son's sake, as we most freely and heartily forgive them: believing some may be zealously affected for their educational form of religion, and as zealous against us for our separation; and we are the more inclined to judge so, because many of us were once in the same way, and had such thoughts as those that were gone before us. But it hath pleased the Father of mercies to do by many of us as he did by Saul, that zealous, though mistaken persecutor of the sincere followers of Jesus Christ, Acts ix. 3, 4, 5, 6. For we heard an unusual inward, but powerful voice, so we also had a more inward, clear, and distinguishing sight, by illumination of that light which was more than natural, and shined into the dark and sinful hearts, 2 Cor. iv. 6, 7, letting us see them, as they really were in God's sight; which naturally affected us with deep sorrow, and a true humiliation, making us willing to be anything he would have us be, providing we might have some sense of his love and favour towards us. And blessed be his holy and excellent name, we can, without vanity say, (generally speaking) we were not disobedient to that heavenly vision, (Acts xxvi. 19) we had of him, ourselves, the world, and that profession of religion, where we had our education. And since by that sight God gave us, we saw he was pure and holy, and that without holiness none ever could, or can see him, to their joy, and that we were unfit to approach his holy altar , yea , that the whole world lay in wickedness; and that profession of religion where we had our education, was so far from having the power of godliness, that, for the most part, it wanted the right form; from such, therefore, we had divine authority to "turn away" 2 Timothy iii 5. which we did not in a vaunting mind, but with great sorrow; wanting to know where the Great Shepherd of the sheep fed his flock, Cant. I 7, For we desired to be not of those that "turned aside from the foot-steps of the flocks of the companions" Nor was it affectation to popularity, singularity, or novelty, that induced us to a separation; but a fervent desire to know the Lord, and the work of his translating power upon our souls, being in earnest for heaven, though for it we lost all our earthly enjoyments, Hebrews xi. 14, 15, 16, In this solitary and seeking state, it pleased the Lord to meet with us, and to gather us into families, or religious societies, according to Psalm lviii 6 And though it as been a dear separation to us, considering it cost us the loss, at least, of all things, and the great sufferings and afflictions that have attended us in this despised way, which men have called heresy; yet the Lord hath blessed us in it, with the enjoyment of his blessed presence, to our unspeakable joy and comfort.
To Conclude: As it hath pleased the Lord to bless us, In the way we have hitherto been helped to walk in, with that great blessing which ushered in the birth of our blessed lord into the world, viz. "Glory to God, peace on earth, and good will to men;" so we earnestly desire the same upon our neighbours: for though we may not be all of one mind in some doctrinal parts of religion, we must, of necessity, be all of one sentiment in the great and general duty of holiness, or else we can never see God. And if that is our principle aim and endeavour , we shall less fall out by the way, about words, forms, and outside of things: but universal charity, (which is the most excellent way, and without which the best of creeds is but a sounding brass, &c.) will silence controversy, and blot out all ignominious characters; remembering that the Great Judge, at the last day, will determine us, not according to our names, but natures; not our profession, but our lives; not our bare belief ( though unquestionable truths) but works; for "God will bring every work to judgement, with every secret thing whether it be good or evil," Eccles xii 14.

LONDON — Queen Elizabeth II and her family are marking her official 90th birthday with a parade, a colourful military ceremony and an appearance on the Buckingham Palace balcony.
The queen and her husband, Prince Philip, will join the Trooping the Colour parade, traveling by vintage carriage. Other senior royals are also expected to travel by carriage along the parade route.
Large crowds are expected to mark her milestone and to enjoy the procession, featuring more than 1,500 soldiers and officers and several hundred horses.
Later, the royal couple will lead the family onto the palace balcony to wave to the throngs as Royal Air Force jets and some vintage World War II planes fly overhead.
Many observers expect 1-year-old Princess Charlotte to make her first balcony appearance with her parents, Prince William and his wife Kate.
The festivities continue Sunday with a massive street party in front of the palace. The palace has invited roughly 10,000 people who work at charities supported by the queen to the open air festivities.
Street parties will also be held in many towns and cities throughout Britain and in other Commonwealth countries.
The queen's real birthday is in April. The official birthday is timed in hope of fair weather — a custom that began in the 18th century.

At the moment visitors can enter the city from two entrances both opened adjacent to two old water reservoirs. All the photos are taken on hand, no flash.
At least since 1500 year ago, in Sassanian period (224-637 CE), people at this part of Iran who had the fear of being invaded by some foreigners started to think how they could escape such unwanted death. Fleeing to the mountains and shifting from settled life to nomadic life has been an option.
The handmade complex spread under the city in thousands of sq. meters, in depth of 4 to 18 meters.
There are many spaces within the city, each consist of interconnected, 180 cm height rooms for temporary settlement connecting through angled corridors (preventing direct sight), toilets, supply stocks and guarding place.
Lighting was provided by fat burning lamps. The city was built in 3 stories, each part 3 to 5 meters in depth connecting via some narrow manholes. The architecture of the stories dictates upward movement providing maximum protection against invaders. Delaying any enemy penetration was performed by anticipating some physical obstacles and traps, in conjunction with darkness. Natural air conditioning and water supply of the city are among its ancient engineering wonders.
However, once Nosh Abad inhabitants felt the threat of some invaders coming to their area, they went into some wells to get their hideouts. At the bottom, these shafts lead to the connected network of corridors, chambers, more downward wells, etc. From the top, it looked like it's another dry well in this desert town.
The depth of the wells had been decided in a way that they didn't reach the water tables or wet grounds, but they were deep enough to be accepted as an ordinary well. Such shafts led people to the floor -1.
There are 3 other floors underneath such level meaning other wells had been dug as down as -4 floor to which people could go down and seek shelter.
They had to think about having food to eat and water to drink. So, there must have been some reserves of foodstuff as well. Light and air are two other important factors essential to the people who stayed down there during the hiding.
Ancient Iranians already had the know-how required to make such underground network of corridors and arrange for some temporary residence at the times of invasion. This was not a foreign concept to them at all.
When people arrived in the underground network of corridors and chambers, each had a space with their families. This is what one may conclude by looking at the structure or architecture of such dug-out corridors and recessed spaces.
From human point of view and considering the horrified life people could have lived here, one really feels sorry for the things happening to these people back in the tense history of this country. Just imagine you had to take your family with you into such holes and spend some time, short or long, into such chambers and ask them to keep quiet and pray for their lives!
The history of mankind shows a lot of such brutal invasions and loss of lots of innocent civilians' lives who are not beneficiaries in either cases of victory or defeat. On the contrary, in both cases, they lose, suffer and go down.
From innovation point of view, once the need to survive presses upon you, you will come up with solutions. As a hard-working nation with 1000s of years of background in engineering and architecture, Iranians have managed to survive putting into action such experiences form other projects and similar occasions.
From resistance point of view, Iranians have always shown how steadfast they are in defending themselves and creating life in very unfriendly conditions. Oasis settlements in the hearts of deserts are great examples of bringing water, life, to the middle of literally nowhere.
When you travel in Iran and come across a green patch in the middle of a vast desert, there must have been some Kariz system already dug out since several centuries ago by our ancestors to bring water to that spot.
Noosh Abad ancient underground city isn't the only example of such resistance and ambition to survive. There are other similar networks found in other parts of Iran as well. (Source: destinationiran.com)

Marriage: Thompson A. Fox to Daisy L. Wright
The marriage record of Thompson Asbury FOX to Daisy L. WRIGHT occurred September 27, 1890 in Madison County, Indiana. Daisy L. WRIGHT was my maternal 2nd-great grandaunt, the daughter of Joseph W. and Rebecca (HEATON) WRIGHT. Thompson, or Thomas, as he is shown in most records, was the son of Phillip and Mary (RECTOR) FOX.
Thomas was born September 1869 in Indiana. Daisy was born June 1873 in Indiana. After their marriage, they lived in Madison County, Indiana where Thomas was a farmer. He died February 1, 1926 in Madison County, Indiana and is buried at the Park View Cemetery, according to his obituary. Daisy was living still in the 1930 census in Lafayette Township, Madison County, Indiana. There is a Daisy L. Fox listed in the obituary database at the Anderson Public Library with an obit date of 3/29/1950, but I don't know yet if this is her. Neither Daisy or Thomas appears in the cemetery database.

- The Houston Astros are World Champions! The Houston Chronicle wrote shortly after the 5-1 win in Game 7 against the Los Angeles Dodgers: "The Astros have managed to make the whole city feel like we're part of something big and exciting and wonderful. They are pulling us together, impelling us to unity."
- That's an appropriate summary after such a year in baseball, one that ended with nothing less than a nail-biting, heart beating, breath-holding World Series. CBRE Research is memorializing the 2017 season by, of course, nothing less than the stats.
- And the 'Stros didn't disappoint. 2017's best team in baseball racked up records taller than their new ivy-coated Hitting Background in the far outfield of Minute Maid Park. By our count, 17 of them to be precise, which include:
- First World Series title in 56-year history of the franchise
- First division title since 2001
- First division title as an AL team
- First pennant as an AL team
- First in Total Runs Scored with 896 runs for the season
CBRE Research has compiled the season's highs, lows and everything in between that
brought home to Houston a division title, a pennant and the Commissioner's Trophy.

The Ezra Taft Benson Agriculture and Food Institute (Benson Institute) integrated into LDS Charities in 2008, expanding its global outreach to better accomplish its mission to help families become more self-reliant.
The Benson Institute was founded in 1975 at Brigham Young University as part of the College of Biological and Agriculture Sciences. It was named in honor of Ezra Taft Benson's service as Secretary of Agriculture during the administration of United States President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The Benson Institute strived to teach families in developing countries how to become nutritionally self-sufficient and how to improve their economic circumstances. Participants learned techniques for food production, nutrition, diet, and home food storage. Families learned to grow vegetables and fruits or raise small animals appropriate to their circumstances in order to better provide for themselves.
Ezra Taft Benson spoke at the institute inauguration about the remarkable work that would be accomplished through the labor and research done by the institute in the upcoming years. He then stated that "at the proper time through worldwide … channels of the Church, correlated through existing developing welfare services programs," the work would expand to an extensive global effort "for the betterment of mankind."
The Benson Institute's library, scholarship program, and body of research have all become important underpinnings of the LDS Charities Benson Food Initiative. The accumulated knowledge and experience of the Benson Institute are leveraged in food production and nutrition projects in a much larger distribution now throughout the world, benefiting thousands of families and individuals. Since 2008, there have been more than 160 Benson Food Initiative projects in 36 countries that have helped more than 130,000 people.
The work of the LDS Charities Benson Food Initiative pushes forward as it continues to enrich more lives. Empowered by the knowledge they gain and the results they harvest, people all over the world are discovering the blessings of self-reliance through this inspired program.

Two full-time trauma centers planned for Omaha
Nebraska Medical Center on Wednesday said it's ending the practice of sharing trauma service responsibility with Alegent Creighton Health Creighton University Medical Center.
The announcement that the Nebraska Medical Center is expanding its trauma services to seven days a week was made at a news conference Wednesday afternoon.
Since 1993, the Nebraska Medical Center has worked with Alegent Creighton Health Creighton University Medical Center in a combined trauma system. The arrangement, two part-time trauma centers, meant the system could not be recognized by the American College of Surgeons.
Reviewers recommended last year that the Nebraska Medical Center should explore the option of operating trauma independently.
Officials said a nationally-recognized trauma center will better meet the needs of Omaha residents and surrounding communities.
"Although the trauma system we've used for the last 20 years is functional, we think we have an obligation to provide something more," said P.J. Schenarts, MD, trauma medical director at the Nebraska Medical Center.
Alegent Creighton Health, which was notified of the plan Wednesday morning, said it also plans to create a full-time trauma center at its hospital at 30th and California streets.
That means, should everything go according to plan, there will be two full-time trauma centers in Omaha starting on Aug. 1.
For the Nebraska Medical Center, a certification process will be performed by the American College of Surgeons in order for the Nebraska Medical Center to achieve official Level 1 trauma center verification status.
Further details of Alegent Creighton Health's plan have not been released.
Mayor Jean Stothert, Fire Chief Bernie Kanger and Police Chief Todd Schmaderer released a joint statement Wednesday.
"The decision by NMC to have a 24/7 Level 1 Trauma Center is a positive step that will benefit the entire city. Since the current agreement between UNMC and Alegent Creighton will be in effect until August 1, 2014, there will be no changes in how the Omaha Fire Department delivers EMS services at this time."

My first ACEO - there, I've said it! A fun e-mail from Lynsey at the weekend prompted me to take up my pencil and do some drawing, which I haven't done for a while (apart from designing softies, of course!).
Today, I decided to take it one step further and have a go at creating an ACEO - I'm really not sure why, it just sort of happened. Anyhow, I really enjoyed the freedom of the pencil, and of course some Harris Tweed managed to make its way into the picture too! I decided to use the tweed to make 'accents' on the drawing, which to my mind worked quite well. I always think of Harris Tweed as part of the landscape, so perhaps it was a natural progression.
This one's available in my Etsy shop (the grown up one!). Well, it filled a space where my 'tweedie' draught excluder was! (The view is from my kitchen window by the way - the above pic is a detail from the ACEO).
P.S. ACEOs are miniature works of art for trading, collecting, framing, or just treasuring, and measure 3.5 inches x 2.5 inches.

In years past I have not posted about things we've made for Christmas until after the fact, but this year I really want to do it now. Jordan and I are not skilled craftspeople in any area, and we used to say "oh, we'd love to make gifts but we CAN'T." Now I know with a little creativity and patience, that is just not true. Everybody can make something! I wanted to share ideas in case some people still want to do this but are stumped.
This also means that I am running the risk of telling people what they are getting for Christmas. That is why, if you are a friend or family member and we exchange gifts, I want to ask you to STOP READING NOW!!! If you keep going, you might see what you are getting for Christmas.
Just wanted to let you know.
I warned you.
I'm going to start posting pictures now.
Love you and see you at Christmas.
1) First up is the upcycled wool stuffed animal. These are quite popular at the moment and the professionally made ones sell for a lot. The owl on the left is made from pieces of two different sweaters, both purchased at thrift stores. There are all sorts of resources on the internet explaining this, but basically you buy a WOOL sweater (I prefer 100%, but some say 80% will do) and wash it on hot in the washing machine. It becomes felted as the fibers bind and blur together and should not unravel when you cut it. Some sweaters felt up nicer than others. Sometimes you can find them in the thrift store already felted.
The little bluebird is from a boiled wool vest, so I didn't have to do anything to prepare it. I used fabric from a wool blazer for the eyes, and some felt I already had for the beak and feet. It's a good idea to sew a little sack of flax seeds or something similar and place it in the bottom of your animal to weight it. I stuffed the rest of these with polyester stuffing. It's probably obvious how the front and back are cut, and the bottom is a football-shaped piece. If you need more info, I used a lot of the instructions from this Martha Stewart project and then got inspiration from pictures on Etsy.
2) I love using wool sweaters--you can make so many different things from them! Using the same sweater I used to make part of the owl, I made this hat for Suzi.
I literally held the sweater up to her head to measure it, cut straight up in what seemed like a good place, and then held it up to her head again to see how far to sew down on the top. Cutting a little high on the sides, one side being the already-sewn side of the sweater, and then closing with right sides together (inside out) in a u-shape will give you these sassy-looking little ears. There is no hemming necessary because the bottom of the sweater was already finished. Suzi loves her hat and it only took me about five minutes on the sewing machine.
From the same sweater, I made this pair of wrist warmers. I always wanted to make some wrist warmers because they look so cool and cuddly, but I can't knit as of yet. I don't know if I'll ever learn. This sweater felted up perfectly, and didn't give me any trouble when I carefully cut a thumb hole. That was a matter of snipping and pulling at one thread, as I did it on the seam, and then I sewed a little above and below the hole to keep it from going any further. I turned it under at the top and hemmed it. Done! There is still a little sweater left. This one is my favorite. I'm going to be sad when it's gone!
A couple other things I've learned about using upcycled wool: For a great deal, shop the clearance section of Goodwill, preferably year-round. The other day I found a gray cashmere sweater with a hole in it for $1. It's so buttery soft, even after felting, and the hole can easily be worked around to make a yummy pair of wrist warmers for someone with skinny arms (that would be me). I don't pay full price for secondhand sweaters, because that could get pricey, and also because someone might really need that excellent condition $7 sweater to keep themselves warm. That would be the better use for it. The other thing is that these things can get quite pilly after felting, and not only will you have to clean your washer and dryer out, you will also have to remove fuzz from your finished products to give them a more polished look. Right now I use a pair of fabric scissors to snip off excess fuzz, and then I lint roll them.
3) I'm not sure how you'll feel about this one, but at our house we love to avoid using disposable products, including tissues. Regular hankies seem like a good idea, but the storebought ones I've had have been neither soft nor absorbent--not to mention way too large. Small cuts of soft flannel in fun patterns can be found in the remnants section of a fabric store for really cheap. I bought some and sewed these. The corners are mitered, which is really easy with an iron and a little starch. A sewing machine makes short work of the rest. There are not many people on our list getting these. I wouldn't want anyone to faint, so crunchy/frugal family only. I did sew a couple for Suzi and she loves them.
We've still got lots of things to make and I'll try to post about them soon. We're making "man baskets" of edible items for a few of the guys, some polymer clay ornaments, and more. The girls' gifts are going to be almost all handmade this year, because Suzi asked for one expensive thing we can't make. Actually, it should be arriving today. I'm glad we were able to find a good deal on it. I've got to stop leaving the Nova Natural catalog lying around!
The little girls are getting antsy. I'd better go fix them lunch.

Posts tagged 'Ireland'
Look at the history
I've written a new course on Australian Immigration (free settlers) for the National Institute for Genealogical Studies and have been reminded again about how much is explained by looking at background history.
People refer to the 'push-pull' of immigration. The Irish potato famine of the 1840s 'pushed' a large number of emigrants. In addition to 1 million dead, another 1 million people migrated from Ireland, causing the country's population to fall by nearly 25%.
Likewise the pull of immigration: in the 7 years from the start of the Victorian gold rushes in 1851, the population of Victoria increased from 70,000 to nearly 500,000, overtaking the population of New South Wales. Ships arriving in Port Phillip were deserted as passengers and crew rushed off to the gold fields (often before immigration officials had time to record who had arrived).
Not all the numbers are so dramatic but looking at the numbers and considering the history helps understanding.
In 50 years from 1803, 75,000 convicts were sent to Tasmania (then known as Van Diemen's Land). With convict labour and also emancipated convicts, there was no shortage of labour and indeed the problem was to ensure no unemployment, especially for assigned convicts.
The need was for wealthy settlers to develop employment – and single women. The gender balance was so unequal that for a while the government subsidised the migration of single women. But there was little need for more labourers. By 1860 about 80% of free immigrants to Tasmania had paid their own fares. The total number of free immigrants to that date was similar to the total number of transported convicts.
It was a different story in Queensland. Because of labour shortages, Queensland was a colony founded on assisted immigration (subsidised passages). In the 40 years leading up to Federation (1901), more assisted migrants arrived in Queensland than any other colony and few records remain in Queensland of the arrival of those who paid their own way.

Salton Sea
Salton Sea sôl´tən [key], saline lake, 370 sq mi (958 sq km), northern part of the Imperial Valley, SE Calif.; 232 ft (71 m) below sea level. Salton Sea was formed as the Colorado River delta grew across the Gulf of California, severing the river's northern part. The area was a salt-covered depression known as Salton Sink until 1905, when a flood on the Colorado broke through an irrigation gap in its levee; the river flowed into the sink for two years before being checked. The water level rose due to runoff from surrounding mountains and irrigation systems, but in recent years the sea's size has decreased, its salinity increased, and fertilizer and pesticide pollution grown, harming both fish and bird life as well as the once-thriving tourist trade. A state park and a national wildlife refuge are on its shores; the sea is an important stopping point on the Pacific flyway.

The $UsnJrnl is stored on the root of the volume in the \$Extend\$UsrJrnl file. The file has two $DATA attributes, the $Max attribute which contains general information about the journal and the $J attribute which contains the actual list of changes. Each journal record varies in size and includes an Update Sequence Number (USN). The USN is 64 bit in size and is stored in byte 64-71 of the $STANDARD_INFORMATION ($SI) attribute of the $MFT. The following output is an example of the $SI XXD of a file named malicious.dll.
Searching a dd (raw) image for a suspected malicious file called malicious.dll with the The Sleuth Kit (TSK) tool "fls" produces the $MFT Record Number of the file.
fls -f ntfs -r /media/Passport/Images/Image001.dd | grep malicious.dll
++ r/r 1618-128-1: malicious.dll
Using this entry number (1618) we can display the $SI attribute (type=16) from the $MFT record $SI (type=16) with the TSK "icat" tool.
icat -f ntfs /media/Passport/Images/Image001.dd 1618-16 | xxd
The USN, in the above example, represents the byte offset in the $UsnJrnl (remember each record varies in size). It should also be noted that the $Usnjrnl is a sparse file, meaning it has a maximum size but old records are overwritten with zero's and any updates to it will be written to the end of the file and perpetually increase the USN (based on byte offset from the beginning of the file).
Microsoft MSDN has a fair amount of documentation on the structure of the $UsnJrnl $J file and what fields it stores. Additionally, Brian Carrier does a great job of breaking down the data structure and byte offsets in his book File System Forensic Analysis. The following is an example of a $UsnJrnl record structure.
We can obtain the $MFT entry address of the $Usnjrnl $J file by using the TSK "fls" tool (note: the $Extend Object will always be $MFT entry 11).
fls -f ntfs /media/Passport/Images/Image001.dd 11
Once the location of the $J file is obtained, the contents can be displayed by using the TSK "icat" tool as follows. Please note that the -h option skips holes in the sparse file.
icat -h –f ntfs /media/Passport/Images/Image001.dd 41455-128-3 | xxdA quick search for our "malicious.dll" provides a good example of the structure a $UsnJrnl record.
Byte 40-43 is the USN_CHANGE flag and is well documented on MSDN. For reference purposes the following table summarizes the type of flags and their hexadecimal values recorded in the $UsnJrnl.
There are a few utilities and scripts available to automate the parsing of the records but for the purpose of this post I am using one I recently became aware of through the Windows Forensic Analysis Email list. The Windows Journal Parser (JP) is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac. JP pulls the allocated clusters from the sparse file and parses the records. Information pulled includes Time/Date of change, File/Folder Affected, Type of Change, and by using the verbose option (-v) it will add the $MFT Entry Number and Sequence Number. JP is able to parse a the $UsnJrnl from a live volume, dd image, or carved $J file and export to a variety of formats.
I recently came across a compromised Windows 7 system and had the opportunity to use JP during analysis. The following is the location, hash values, and Virus Total stats of the malicious (unsigned) process that was found on the system.
File name: VD90c_2121.exeAfter parsing the $UsnJrnl with JP, I searched for the aforementioned malicious process and was quickly able to obtain a timeline of changes made during infection.

here. Hence significantly reducing the time necessary to find the origin, payload, and other infection locations on disk.
It should be noted again that $UsnJrnl records are not going to kept indefinitely. Moreover, if a file is deleted, related $MFT entries may be overwritten. More info on carving old $UsnJrnl records from unallocated space and other $UsnJrnl parsing utilities is posted over at the Forensics From the Sausage Factory Blog. I recommend you check it out.
