First, I hate Jim Dale's Luna voice. Just wanted to say that. But his Umbridge is impeccable.
Okay, other stuff.
So, Harry's wand was taken by when the Inquisitorial Squad got him. From appearances, Ron took the wand by force from them. Which means, by Deathly Hallows wand rules, that Ron is the master of Harry's wand, and since Harry being the master of Draco's wand means that the elder wand was under his control, wouldn't that mean that Ron is the master of the Elder wand? ;p
I know some people didn't like Harry being his own worst enemy through most of this book, being very unpleasant and irritable, but I actually thought it came off well. He's in a bad position, he's fighting, and the character that reflects this attitude through the book is Sirius, who ultimately dies because of it, symbolically raising the stakes from Harry's hero complex to a real war. I thought it was nicely pulled off.
My ranking of the books in terms of my favorites:
- Goblet of Fire: Yes, Voldemort's plan is silly and can have a million holes poked into it, but I just love the way this book came off, with all of the clues placed very nicely, but not obtrusively. I think this was why I decided to try JK's detective stories. I liked the new characters and the widened world, and I liked the balanced mix of real tension and school silliness. And then there's the graveyard scene, and the moment we know that Voldemort is a real enemy: Kill the spare.
- Prisoner of Azkaban: Because MARAUDERS. Also, because it's the first time Harry can really trust adults. Instead of a trusted adult being revealed as a fraud or a threat, adults who seemed dangerous suddenly become friends and caretakers. And we get backstory here that was nice and started filling out Harry as a character.
- Order of the Phoenix: Like I said, I liked the way Harry's angsty year was handled. Umbridge is wonderfully hate-able. And JKR handled Harry's failure at the Ministry very delicately. Having your main character be tricked and drawn into a battle he can't win, which costs the franchise a beloved character, is risky, but the way it was handled kept Harry viable as a protagonist. Yes, he failed, and he failed because the villain exploited his personality, but in the course of that failed action, he showed his skills as a leader, his increasing power as a wizard, and his strong moral core. The villains weren't messing around, and the fact that JKR allowed Harry to fail until adult rescued him established the stakes and established the DEs as terrifying enemies rather than undermining Harry. What it did instead was establish the enormous odds against him. This wasn't a little schoolboy adventure. I do think the sudden change in Ginny's personality wasn't handled that well, which is why it's not higher.
- Chamber of Secrets. In the middle. There's a lot to like about this one (in fact, I like all of the books, this is just the order in which I liked them; I'd read the seventh of this list before many other books). CoS shows Harry a vision of what he wants in the future, as well as what he mourns having lost in the past. His relationship with the Weasley family really begins here, above and beyond his relationship with Ron. Their worry when Hermione is petrified and later when Ginny is taken really demonstrates the bravery that they're known for, because it is about their love for their friends/family. Again, the mystery is pretty well set up. How long had JK been thinking about doing a mystery?
- Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone. Obviously, it has a special place because without it, none of the rest would have happened, but a lot of this book is just messing around to look at the wizarding world. It's fun and it introduces great ideas, and it has some strong scenes (for some reason, of the whole thing, the moment when Harry is shocked to get Christmas presents is the one that stands out to me most), but the plot feels almost tacked on, like she was poking around saying, "Look at this cool thing, look at that bit of fun, look at... oh, just a sec, the book's about something... yeah..." Which I totally get, but it does drop the book a couple of spots for me.
- Half-Blood Prince. Again, it has super good moments. I like the Voldy backstory, and I thought the Sectumsempra scene was very good, with Harry realizing just how dark the spell was way too late. But on the whole, I felt almost like it was pulling back from the more interesting things that had gone on before.
- Deathly Hallows. And no, it's not just because Lupin and Tonks got fridged (though that still leaves a bad taste in my mouth). It's that, as the final book of a long series, it seemed weirdly dependent on new information. Like I mentioned in GoF and CoS, I like how well JKR places her clues. So when Sirius comes up in book 3, if you have a good memory, you have a good chance of realizing that Sirius Black is not a coincidental enemy. When Lockhart shows up in 5, you're getting a callback to 2. It's a fair way to get them into the closed ward, and when there, you see the devil's snare, which is again a callback, but not one that gets pointed out. Good clue placement. But the final book suddenly depended on Dumbledore's backstory -- not really hinted at until late in book 6 -- and on the Hallows, which weren't mentioned at all. It wasn't playing fair, because if you're reading along in real time, there would have been no way to guess it. So we have a writer we know knows how to load and aim Chekhov's gun opting to go up to the attic and pick up a few boulders that she forgot to mention and using them to solve the problem, while the loaded gun is still just lying around. That said, Neville's arc was great and I loved Potterwatch, and TEDDY, and... like I said, there's no bad here. Just a descending order of good.

How did I manage to stop writing for three months? It's a sign, I tell you. I'm utterly convinced I turned down the wrong path late this summer. And now I'm grabbing my life back. THEY can't have my soul.
So, random thoughts on things that matter to me this morning:
I took rare, giggly delight from watching the Michigan fans bawling in the stands this weekend. Nicely played, Ohio State, even if you did blow it the weekend before. A Rose Bowl spot still feels like the ultimate to me.
Today marks two weeks since Sahara left the earth. It still burns.
I finally read Eat, Pray, Love and truly appreciated most of it. But I would've been happier if I'd skipped the last 50 pages. Blah.
Yesterday I made black bean soup, just sort of randomly out of my head, without sausage. It was silky and divine. The smoked pork hock was loaded with meat and definitely added dimension. Even though J pigged out, I have four quarts in the fridge--two for the freezer, two for tonight. Whee!
2007 has turned into one of the most painful years of my life. I'm not using phrases like "it can't get any worse" anymore because I recognize that it can. And has. And will some more. But I'm still on the ship. And best as I can tell, I am still steering.

Good morning friends and family. I thank you all for joining us here today, and also for those who might be reading this at a later time on all the various sites that it will be posted on.
Our God is so amazing and I thank Him for bringing us all together and I pray that today's message, as convicting to some as it may be, will be a blessing to all. I also want to thank Pastor Babcock and Sister Dianne for being here again today and for his message of Communion that he shared last week with all of us.
Throughout this past week, I have been asking God what He would have me share with you. I was in hopes that it would be more on the importance of faith in Christ, but I don't feel that is the direction He wants me to go in this week. Yes, faith in Christ has to do with part of this message, because it is possible that for some listening or reading it will need faith to maybe be delivered from the chains of bondage that is keeping them down.
Throughout this week, I have seen people that I have been around doing things that a Christian should not be doing. I have heard things that confessing believers of Jesus say that they ought not to be saying. Now let's get to the online part.
Most of you know that I share a daily prayer on many sites each morning. I also post sermons on many sites. As I shared a couple weeks ago, I am amazed at how many times these prayer are being hit each day and also the great responses from others. The internet has become such a great tool for sharing God's Word, yet I wonder much of the time if the majority of those who read are absorbing anything. Brother Jim, how can you say such a thing? Well my friends, I can say that because of the things I see some who continuously share, even in the open amongst other believers. Many probably have no clue that what they are doing is wrong in the eyes of God because some preachers don't teach these things. But do you know what, my friends? Even though it seems like many preachers can't get away from the ear tickling messages that make the listener feel all warm and fuzzy inside, he can't be blamed for all of it. Well, who then, Brother Jim? How are we supposed to know what God wants me to do or not do? How do we know God's heart if our pastors won't teach us? If we really wanted to know what is wrong or right, if we really wanted to do what is pleasing to God and know how we could be a testimony to Him for His honor and glory, we would take that Bible that is covered with dust and open it and read and meditate on it every day. Not because Brother Jim says so, but because we want to spend time with God the Father. We would read it daily because we want to seek His heart. We would read and meditate on God's Word because we want to have fellowship with our Heavenly Father. Amen? We would be in prayer constantly. Amen?
So friends, are we ready to see some of the things that Christians are dabbling in that are NOT pleasing to God? We all know what the 10 Commandments are, yes? In case someone isn't sure, let's turn to Exodus 20 and we will start with verse 1.
Exodus 20:1-17 KJV And God spake all these words, saying, (2) I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. (3) Thou shalt have no other gods before me. (4) Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: (5) Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; (6) And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. (7) Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. (8) Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. (9) Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: (10) But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: (11) For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. (12) Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. (13) Thou shalt not kill. (14) Thou shalt not commit adultery. (15) Thou shalt not steal. (16) Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. (17) Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
So the commandments given to Moses were what we just read. Looking back through your life, how did you do through all these things? I can tell you, I failed miserably. Yes indeed. I failed most everything on this list, but thank God I know Jesus. I said thank God I know Jesus and He knows me. I thank Jesus for dying on the cross for me. I thank Jesus that when I cried out to Him confessing I was a dirty sinner He heard me. I thank Jesus my Lord and Savior for hearing me ask Him to be Lord of my life and that He washed my sins away. Halleluiah!! Now I'm a joint heir of Jesus. Praise God!!
Can anyone in all honesty say they obeyed all these things we read in Exodus 20? If so, congratulations. If not, don't feel bad. You are human. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God and took of the tree of knowledge, from that time on, man was born with sin nature. For those who say they obeyed all of the 10 commandments, you haven't messed up once, Wow!! You are a good person and I wish to shake your hand, but you know what? As good as you may be, if you have not asked Jesus into your heart to be Lord and Savior, to be born again......saved, you cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. If you went out into your community today and asked everyone that walks by, "If you died today, would you go to Heaven?" You would be surprised at how many would say yes. Some may never have been to church. Maybe never heard the Gospel, but because they are good, they would escape hell. Many think they have earned their way to heaven.
Please turn in your Bibles to John 1:1. Friends, Jesus is the most important figure in all of human history. He, my friends, is the only man who has ever walked the face of the earth who had no sin in Him. Jesus came to earth from Heaven. He is God in flesh.
John 1:1 KJV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Who was the Word? Verse 14.
John 1:14 KJV And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Please turn to John 14:6. There is no way to get to heaven but through Jesus. John 14:6 KJV Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
You cannot pray to Buddha, Mohamed, the sky, mother earth or some statue that you made. It won't work. Yes, you can talk to these things, but why would you? Why waste your breath?
Let's turn to Isaiah 14:6. For those who think that because of the good things they have done..... they are useless.
Isaiah 64:6 KJV But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
I want to go on a different course now. I have shared for years now that I take James 3:1 very serious. My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. Who wants to take over teaching now? You see, I understand that I am responsible for everything I teach you. I need to get it right. Those who teach God's Word are held to a higher standard and I don't want to stand before God and be told I taught wrong. I don't want to hear that I taught you a message that does not line up with God's Word. Do you all follow me?
This is why I can't believe, and this is where I get into the title of the message. Are we the church, or are we playing church? What is the church? It isn't a building, friends. Again you ask the majority of people who and what the church is and they think it is that big building with the steeple that Jesus freaks go to on Sundays, or where they get married or go when someone dies. Hey, I used to think that too, until I got into the Bible. Friends, when we are saved or born again, we are now part of the body of Christ. We are a new creation. The old man is dead, or it should be. I said it should be.
Please turn to Romans 3:23. Friends, sin is sin. If you kill someone, you have not just broken mans laws, but you have sinned against God. If you cheat on your spouse, you haven't just hurt your spouse, but you have broken covenant with God and sinned. If you take a piece of bubble gum from someone and you did not ask, you have stolen from that person and sinned against God. Sin is sin, no matter how big or small.
Romans 3:22-23 KJV Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: (23) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
Now please turn to Colossians chapter 2. Here is where someone might start to squirm. Remember, these are not my words. I am not speaking these things or sharing this text on the many sites to condemn you, but to help you with your walk with God. In the next 15 minutes or so, I want to show you what I have seen from church people in OUR COMMUNITIES and online from professing believers.
Colossians 2:6-23 KJV As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: (7) Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. (8) Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. (9) For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. (10) And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: (11) In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: (12) Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. (13) And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; (14) Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; (15) And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. (16) Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: (17) Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. (18) Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, (19) And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God. (20) Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, (21) (Touch not; taste not; handle not; (22) Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? (23) Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
Friends, I wish I could break this chapter down so you could really get a look at some of the things that Paul is leading up to, but because of time, I won't this time. What I do want to say is this.... All through the Bible, we see that disobedience to God has consequences. We all know what happened with Adam and Eve. Then the first murder when Cain killed Able. We know that people were wicked and God opened up the flood gates, yet spared Noah and his family during the flood. We had Mosses who led the Israelites out of Egypt, yet they complained, stole, lied, and so on, and so on. Friends, we see from many prophets that this day and age we live in would be full of wickedness. When one looks deeper into some of these prophecies, the very things that Apostle Paul addressed to the Corinthian's, Galatians, Ephesians, Colossians and Thessalonians, is going on today and much of the body hasn't got a clue that they are doing wrong, or they just don't care.
Brother Jim, you have lost it. Have you fallen off your rocker? When one is saved, He is a new creation. The old man is dead, dead, dead. Gone! Out of here! The things of this world that we loved should be far from our minds. The things God hates we should hate also. Amen? I said Amen? Come on church, keep up with me.
Colossians 3:1-25 KJV If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. (2) Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. (3) For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. (4) When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. (5) Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: (6) For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: (7) In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. (8) But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. (9) Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; (10) And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: (11) Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. (12) Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; (13) Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. (14) And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. (15) And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. (16) Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. (17) And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. (18) Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. (19) Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. (20) Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. (21) Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged. (22) Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eye service, as men pleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God: (23) And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; (24) Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. (25) But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
If you would, please turn to Deuteronomy 18:10-13. Here we go with things that probably many haven't realized are an abomination to God, because many preachers don't teach about them. Here is where Satan has really fooled many.
Deuteronomy 18:10-13 KJV (10) There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, (11) Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. (12) For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee. (13) Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.
Please turn to Revelation 21:4. I want to look at a little sliver of what John witnessed and what was said to him from Jesus our Savior. What I want to show is some of the things going on in many churches. I am going to catch a lot of flack from this, but these are not my words.
Revelation 21:4-8 KJV And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. (5) And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. (6) And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. (7) He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. (8) But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Galatians 5:14-26 KJV For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. (15) But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. (16) This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. (17) For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. (18) But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. (19) Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, (20) Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, (21) Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. (22) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, (23) Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. (24) And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. (25) If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. (26) Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
Please turn to Romans 1:28. We will look at a few more verses and we will finish up. I know that I have given you a lot to think about and in a short time, but these things are important for us to understand. From what I am seeing here from so-called church people and online from what are supposed to be Christians, they don't get it. I want to be part of that spotless church that Jesus is coming for. Amen?
Romans 1:28-32 KJV And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; (29) Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, (30) Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, (31) Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: (32) Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
2 Timothy 3:1-13 KJV This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. (2) For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, (3) Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, (4) Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; (5) Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. (6) For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, (7) Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. (8) Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. (9) But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was. (10) But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, (11) Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. (12) Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. (13) But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
There is so much more that I would have liked to shared with you. Many more scriptures. I would have like to touched on many more things that are going on in our congregations all over the world. Church, this is why I urge you all to be in the Word daily. As you spend time with God through these readings and by being in prayer, He will point out things to you. Those who may be into witchcraft, sorcery, palm reading, horoscopes...stop. Ask to be delivered now. Those who are backbiters, gossipers.....stop. Repent. Turn away from it. Magic.....stop. Those who may be dabbling in spirit stuff, like ouija boards, stop and throw it away. Friends, this is not me being mean. I love you and I want to see God do great and marvelous things through you, but when we continue in things that we know are not pleasing to God, in fact, most of these things we see are an abomination. Detestable.
I hope that you all might have learned from this. I would like to say it was a pleasure to deliver this message, but it never is pleasurable to deliver a message that is convicting, but it needs to be done. I need to hear convicting messages to get me on track at times.

A thermal-hydraulic model has been developed for describing the phenomenon of hydrodynamically-controlled dryout, or the boil-off phenomenon, in a vertical channel with a spatially-averaged or uniform heat flux. The use of the drift flux correlation for the void fraction profile, along with mass and energy balances for the system, leads to a dimensionless closed-form solution for the predictions of two-phase mixture levels and collapsed liquid levels. The physical significance of the governing dimensionless parameters are discussed. Comparisons with data from single-tube experiments, a 3 × 3 rod bundle experiment, and the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant show good agreement.

I hear about famous durian porridge at SS14 which is claimed by Rebecca & Marky. So, I went to SS14 with my housemate to get something for break fasting. It's a dizzily on that day and lucky when I reach SS14 the weather was bright. I heard about another delicious and must-try is their bubur lambuk. Not manage to try since it not open on that day. I also was Informed by other seller that the durian porridge also close down almost a week.
Just located opposite the Jaya One, it's quite easy to spot it. You can park around the resident and for those who prefer prefer safety, you can park in the Jaya One itself.
Like other pasar ramadhan, all the food look nice (for those who fasting). Since it's not much variety, I went to Seksyen 14 for the another Pasar Ramadhan.
P/S: Let me know any famous Pasar Ramadhan thanks.

CAMPUS Cops will be returning to North Ayrshire secondary schools after the police officers were previously axed.
Four years ago, provisions for the specialist officers in local schools was cut as part of budget issues but the cops will return in the very near future, thanks to the Pupil Equity Fund in which headteachers choose what they want to spend money on.
Five local schools will have officers based within the schools as Police Scotland finalise details ahead of rubber-stamping the scheme next month.
Irvine Royal Academy and Greenwood Academy in Irvine and Ardrossan Academy, St Matthew's Academy and Auchenharvie Academy in the Three Towns are the schools set to benefit.
North Ayrshire's top cop, Chief Inspector Brian Shaw, has welcomed the move, which will see four officers based in five secondary schools.
CI Shaw said: "Proposals are being considered with a number of schools using their Pupil Equity Fund and working with North Ayrshire Council and Police Scotland, for the introduction of campus cops to a number of secondary schools in North Ayrshire.
"This will be finalised during the month of February and we are very supportive of the role of campus cops in our schools."
Currently schools have liaison officers and it is believed that these officers will move from their current roles into the campus roles, offering minimum disruption to relationships already built.
The feeder schools associated with the secondaries set to be boosted will also have access to the campus officers.
A North Ayrshire Council spokesperson said: "Interest has been shown in re-introducing campus officers at a number of our high schools as the head teachers valued their contribution to the overall delivery of support and education of their pupils. We are currently exploring the best way forward before a final decision is taken."

That is a major reason for organizing furniture events. To keep the customer aware of new designs and concepts, and occasionally to reward them for their business with reduced prices and discounts on selected products. It is combination of a thank you and a form of advertising. Local craft fairs are another form of furniture event. These enable local people (or sometimes not so local!) to display their handiwork. Local furniture makers can show off their skills, and this can be a good platform for locals to persuade city showrooms to sell their products. Not only that, but furniture distribution centers may be seeking new sources for their furniture. Amish furniture, for example, is often hand-crafted by individuals in their own homes or workshops. The Amish then transport each piece to a central distribution center from which it is delivered to the furniture retailer, showroom or directly to the customer. A large proportion of Amish furniture made in this way is crafted to order. The customer can choose a piece from a showroom display or a catalog. The order is passed to the distribution center and passed onto individual craftsmen and women who then hand make it.
No office is considered as an office without furniture. Not only the employees feel pleasant in the presence of attractive and quality furniture but it also gives a good impression on the customers. If the appearance of the office is attractive, it can attract clients as well as future employees. It is therefore very important that an office is properly arranged and furnished with appropriate furniture. Appropriate furniture means nice looking, decent and comfortable furniture. If the seats, desks and chairs are comfortable, the employees are able to accomplish their daily work more efficiently. Nice looking furniture makes an attractive environment in an office. A good environment puts pleasant effect on the minds of the employees. There are several brands in the market that can provide you the best and modern office furniture. Choosing the best brand sometimes becomes very challenging and customers feel confusion while selecting one. Buy office furniture is a work of great responsibility. So choose the brand that you think will give the best performance. When you are going to choose the furniture of the office, it is important that you select the furniture that suits the work space besides fulfilling the purpose. We are giving you some useful tips to help you search the furniture for your office. First of all keep the design on priority. It is the design of the furniture that makes an office attractive and beautiful. Modern designs are popular presently. They are innovative, updated and look fresh. When compared to traditional style furniture, the modern designs are more informal. Offices are now preferring modern look furniture especially if the furniture is to be purchased for the conference rooms.

UK wealth managers have been slow to digitize their operations and customer experience.
However, with the imminent loss of distribution in Europe and loss of scale following Brexit, wealth managers may have to implement technological changes sooner than they would have otherwise liked.
Until now, there have been several persistent drivers for technological change in the industry.
Fee compression
(due to passives and heightened regulation) and subsequent lower margins, means that operational efficiency is essential to maintain returns.
This will drive M&A in wealth and asset management because companies need scale to be able to operate profitably. Brexit could fuel this trend, and in turn, M&A could provide the best opportunity for reviewing systems and digital transformation.
The rise of quant
More asset managers are also turning to algorithmic or quantitative solutions (they tend to offer relatively good risk adjusted performance for the cost); this in turn requires technology investment.
Digital demands
As millennials demand an enhanced digital experience, a relentless focus on agile application development and user experience can help speed up go-to-market, which will further lower the cost to serve customers.
4) Elements of advice are likely to become automated because the high cost of advice intrinsically excludes the rest of the population.
Now that Brexit is on the horizon, there is immense pressure for change and for firms to move to a lean and fluid business model.
When Brexit increases the cost of doing business, wealth managers can reduce these costs through automation – not to pass them on to the client – and instead focus their efforts on strategic, value-adding tasks.
However, as we have seen in the banking sector, changes in the back-office are necessary to support this drive to digitisation.
It's difficult to support a fantastic front-end user experience without making the requisite changes to the operating model.
Digitising core business processes not only drives cost-effective speed of delivery, but also enhances security and improves accuracy by reducing human error.
Ultimately, all these business 'tweaks' offer the client a range of more innovative products and a superior service experience.
Wealth managers must now realise that a 'wait and see' approach to Brexit is no longer an option.
As well as realizing the vast benefits of digitisation, they should consider a number of other potential business effects that could arise – and prepare accordingly in the knowledge that they are strengthening their businesses for the longer term.
Uncertainty around the long-term impact of Brexit is creating increased volatility in the assets managed by wealth managers.
Clients are naturally concerned and are looking for their wealth managers to scrutinize the investment risks and opportunities on their behalf.
The shrewdest wealth managers are diversifying their clients' assets across different instruments, geographies and currencies.
They are interacting with clients through both traditional and multiple digital channels in order to influence them to take a longer-term view, while also investing in state-of-the-art risk systems and preparing for potential downside risks.
For wealth managers with funds domiciled and distributed across the UK and EU, opinion remains divided on how to best protect fund structures and business models, given the inevitable changes to fund distribution agreements.
However, no matter the outcome of Brexit, wealth managers must ensure they are ready.
Modelling for various fund domicile and investment scenarios is key, as is using judgement to redistribute capital to funds less likely to require changes post-Brexit.
Establishing European operations, talent retention and increasing costs for regulatory compliance continue to be challenges for wealth managers.
As they contend with this ever-evolving landscape, they must also prepare for the largest inter-generational wealth transfer in history.
All of these can have a significant business impact, so firms must be prepared for a range of alternatives given they may have multiple client locations, booking centres, and back office operations across the EU.
Astute executives will also capitalise on Brexit as an opportunity to continue to drive employee satisfaction, protecting their workforce against potentially lucrative offers from continental fund managers as they look to pick-up any business post-Brexit.
While the full effects of Brexit remain to be seen, it is clear that those who use the Brexit challenge to drive business change will be best positioned to adapt to future industry developments and keep the client at the heart of their business model.

A female voter in Tanzania had sensationally vowed on video not to engage in s3x until her candidate of choice CCM's Dr. John Magufuli wins the Presidential election.
But if he won, she had promised to not only engage in some bedroom action, but also to conceive and bear three children.
Now that Magufuli has been declared winner I can only imagine how thrilled the woman must be.
Magufuli garnered 8,882,935 votes against Edward Lowassa's 6,072,848 votes.
Watch the video below in which we highly advise viewer discretion due to the ad.ult nature of the content;

Life in the Spirit
Wesley Study Centre Preaching service, 7/4/2011.
Worship Leader: Alison Wilkinson, Preacher: Mark Bagnall, Scripture: Rom 8:6-11
The main thrust of the sermon was to drive us towards asking the question of what a life shaped by the Spirit would look like.
My initial thoughts for the image sprang from Baptist 'Masterlife' teaching on 'The Disciple's personality' and began to take shape as a heart into which the life of the Spirit is represented as a waterfall from the 'resurrection' symbolised as an empty tomb. There are trees on the banks of the stream symbolic of the fruit of the spirit and one might consider the Ezekiel overtones of the trees whose leaves are for the healing of the nations. The stream continues on its journey out of the heart into the wider world symbolic of a missional outworking of the Holy Spirit centred life.The world is encompassed by the same Spirit and the Cross of Christ is present in the image too for completeness. Japan was in our prayers and I attempted a crude representation of the country to show our concern for the country.

My two best friends and I are extreme book nerds. Especially for YA books. Since we are viewed as weird in the real world, we decided to go to the Internet, where everyone is weird. It has been going pretty well. Our original blog is Crazy for YA
Welcome to the Sunday Street Team! This is my first post as a part of this amazing group and I am excited to say that it is not going to be my last!
Today, I am hosting a guest post from the wonderful Brianna Shrum. Her debut novel, Never, Never, will be released on September 22. Her book caught my eye because it is a retelling of Peter Pan (which I have never read before) from the perspective of Captain Hook! As we all know, everyone has a story, even the villains.
Never, Never
By Brianna R. Shrum
Release Date: September 22, 2015
Pages: 368
James Hook is a child who only wants to grow up.
When he meets Peter Pan, a boy who loves to pretend and is intent on never becoming a man, James decides he could try being a child—at least briefly. James joins Peter Pan on a holiday to Neverland, a place of adventure created by children's dreams, but Neverland is not for the faint of heart. Soon James finds himself longing for home, determined that he is destined to be a man. But Peter refuses to take him back, leaving James trapped in a world just beyond the one he loves. A world where children are to never grow up.
But grow up he does.
And thus begins the epic adventure of a Lost Boy and a Pirate.
This story isn't about Peter Pan; it's about the boy whose life he stole. It's about a man in a world that hates men. It's about the feared Captain James Hook and his passionate quest to kill the Pan, an impossible feat in a magical land where everyone loves Peter Pan.
Except one.
To see an amazing guest post from the author, Brianna Shrum go to the original post.

There are mobile apps available now for anything and everything. Just like our demands, the mobile app market is expanding by leaps and bounds. That is probably why you would find more than 3 million apps in Google Play Store and over 2 million in the Apple App Store.
Besides several aspects of a mobile application, the platform for which it has been developed is a crucial factor deciding the fate of the app. Choosing the right mobile application development platform is fundamental to developing an app.
Here are 5 ultimate tips that need to be kept in mind while developing a mobile application.
1. Knowing Your Target Audience
Just like any product, your app needs to be developed keeping the target audience in mind. Make sure you study the geo-demographics of your audience. There are areas where the preference of Android devices is more than that of iPhones. For example, the majority of users in European countries are inclined towards Android phones. In Asia, it may depend on the country, while in the U.S., there is an equal preference for both. Hence, you need to decide the app's publishing platform based on the geographic region of your targeted audience.
2. Cross-Platform Development
The process of building a hybrid or native app that is capable of running seamlessly on several operating systems is known as cross-platform development. A single code base is created by the developer. The cross-platform tool then generates the code for target operating systems. It is essential to ensure that the app runs smoothly on targeted devices, making the best use of native features. One of the advantages of native apps is that these can work offline and are quick in terms of responding. However, they belong to the costlier group – involving a skilled bunch of developers. It is a good practice to test the MADP's cross-platform capabilities prior to developing the app.
3. Features and User Experience
Identifying the key features of the platform should be the prime concern. It is important to check whether testing, hosting, deploying and debugging is done by developers throughout the app lifecycle. This ensures an intuitive and easy user experience, enabling back-end services such as push notifications, data storage, and authentication. Ideally, you should compare the required features with the capabilities of the mobile application development platform.
4. Using the Correct Analytic Tool
After the development of the application, keeping a track of its performance is crucial, rather holds as much importance as the development itself. It is key to determine the direction in which the application is heading. To know this, you need to choose the right resources or tools that can help you to monitor and analyze data obtained from an app's performance. The tracking information includes demographic info and that of audio or video content info. A thorough analysis of the data from the in-app purchases to customized user tracking would help you improve the overall app performance.
5. Check the Compatibility
Technological trends are constantly being updated in the mobile application scenario. Therefore, it is wise to check the compatibility of your app with latest developments in technology. It is always wise to design apps that are easily compatible with several coding languages that include Java (used for Android apps) and Objective C (used for iOS apps) among others. It is also important to check the compatibility with future updates. If you are blessed with the right developers in your team, they would make ensure the usage of the right tools, eliminating the possibilities of performance future.
Developing an app from scratch can be a mighty task. However, deploying a half-baked product can have major negative impacts on any business. It is, therefore, important to consider your options carefully. Choosing a robust MADP solution such as that of MD 51 can help smoothening out the process. Such a platform allows you to develop apps at 10 times the speed while taking care of third party software integrations. As with any business, your app needs to be scalable so that your project can grow to be as big as you dream it to be.

We can also provide any of the criteria as a one-off lesson, e.g. a 1 hour motorway lesson or 1 hour city center lesson. Priced at £26 per hour.
This course can only be undertaken once you have passed your driving test.
For a driver to receive a Pass Plus certificate, he/she must complete a minimum of 6 hours driving in the following areas:
Once the course is finished, a training report form will be completed, which is sent to the DSA Pass Plus department, who in turn send a certificate to the driver who has undertaken the course.
This certificate holds a number which when quoted to a participating insurance company will allow the driver reduced insurance. This is in recognition of the extra training the driver has undertaken. This training should help the driver to take fewer risks whilst driving, hence less chance off being involved in an accident, hence a lower insurance premium.
You can undertake 1 hour or 2 hours per week; you decide how you would like to spread the hours.

I chose Lisa Authier Photography because it was affordable, had a range of options to choose from, and she had many great ideas. For my wedding I had very specific poses, and limited time to do them. Lisa was extremely accommodating, and together we were able to manage our time and get all the pictures I had in mind. Her hours were convenient and I was able to reach her easily. My pictures were completed in just over a month, and you can see the amount of work she put into them. The overall product was beautiful, and just what I wanted to remember all those special moments!
My husband and I were very happy with the photography done at our wedding! Lisa Authier did a great job in capturing the memories of our special day!

Reading Time: 7 minutes
Financial frauds are perhaps as old as human civilisation. Tapati traces the antiquity of the swindle, as recorded in various ancient civilisations. Kautilya lists forty kinds of misappropriation of funds by the bureaucrats. Here's to a better understanding of human nature – greed, avarice, and fraud – in the regular column, exclusively for Different Truths.
The morning on last Sunday, we were sitting with our smoking hot tea and newspaper serving equally hot news of one more massive fraud on the headline. The storm created by the defrauding of PNB by diamond jeweller Nirav Modi was yet to subside. Recently it has emerged that another Chennai-based jeweller has defrauded banks to the tune of 824 crores.
We have seen Vijay Mallya escape taking away Rs. 9000cr; Nirav Modi escaped with Rs. 11400cr and Rotomac owner, Kothari is absconding with 800cr of PSU banks money. The present case adds to this list of plunders.
Today's morning paper disclosed of a Hyderabad based infra-structure company duping a consortium of eight banks to the tune of Rs.1394 crores.
My professor friend commented, "All have cleverly laid pre-planned intentions to cheat and defraud the banks."
"It's sickening to see our hard earned money being deducted as a tax is being looted from banks by malicious men without a single penny being recovered."
"It is lack of moral values; uncontrollable personal greed is the motive behind these men…"
He handed over me a note scribbled on a ruled sheet, "Have a look at it and read through every line."
Cicero of the Roman Empire wrote this about the situation during his lifetime:
- The poor work & work.
- The rich exploit the poor.
- The soldier protects both.
- The taxpayer pays for all three.
- The wanderer rests for all four.
- The drunk, drinks for all five.
- The banker robs all six.
- The lawyer misleads all seven.
- The doctor, bills all eight.
- The undertaker buries all nine.
- The Politician lives happily on account of all ten."
"What does it mean? This is a mirror reflection of what we are seeing around!"
"Cicero wrote it in 43 B.C., but valid even today." He answered.
"Cicero?" I looked ignorant.
"Cicero was one of the leading political figures of the era of Julius Caesar", he answered with a mischievous smile, a signal of his imminent lecture spiced with his knowledge of history.
"Yes, my friend, fraud and the fight against it can be traced back to the earliest writings."
The concept of fraud is found in Greek mythology where Apate, the personification of deceit, perfidy, fraud, trickery, and dishonesty, is one of the evils contained in Pandora's Box.
Fraud is found in the great civilisations of Antiquity though sufficient rules were also there to see that money swindling do not occur.
In Ancient Egypt, scribes were assigned to the monitoring of the pharaohs' incoming and outgoing grain and gold inventories so as to prevent fraud and theft.
In Greek civilisation, Aristotle reports on the fraud surrounding the enactment of the Seisachtheia, or Solon's shaking-off of burdens in the 6th century BC, which released the Greeks from slavery for debts.
In Roman times, Cicero's Verrine Orations attest to the multiple thefts and the fraudulent collection of tax proceeds by Verres, the Governor of Sicily.
Think of the time of Kautilya; the state, even those days, exhibited a closely controlled and orderly financial accounting system.
The chancellor was responsible for collecting revenue from the whole country, along with his delegates, the Governor Generals in each city. It was his duty to prepare the budget and maintain detailed accounts of revenues and expenditures pertaining to all activities. The governors and record keepers in every city were to keep records of the number of people in each family, their gender, caste, family name, occupation, income and expenditures pertaining to all activities.
Manufacturing establishments also kept a stock register showing the purchases of all raw materials, the qualities of the same consumed in production, stock changes due to materials; and a manufacturing costs register showing expenditure on the labour employed and wages paid. In the case of stores of all kinds, the record books showed the prices, quality, quantity, and description of the containers in which these were stored.
The procedure of year-end Audit existed even then. Thus, all individuals and establishments involved in manufacturing, trading, retailing, and all such activities which engaged in monetary transactions were subject to audits and scrutiny. The Chief Controller and the auditor was responsible for the maintaining the record office where the accounts book showing, for each and every business establishments in the marketplace, the nature of its activity and total income received from it.
On the closing day for accounts, all the accounts officers were to present themselves with sealed accounts books and with the net balance of revenue over expenditure in sealed containers. The chief controller and auditor would have the accounts thoroughly audited by the audit officers, who would check the entries to verify net balances. The king would then be informed of the audit results.
Significantly, Kautilya was concerned, at least to some extent with accountability. For example, he recommended specifically the listing of revenue collected from fines paid by government servants and gifts. He also wrote, Expenditure will be classified according to the major heads, as prescribed.
He added that every official who is authorised to execute a task or is appointed as a Head of Department shall communicate [to the King] the true facts about the nature of the work, the income and the expenditure, both in detail and the total.
In fact, he believed in the virtuous cycle of good governance, riches, knowledge and ethical conduct. Accordingly, Kautilya put a very heavy emphasis on good governance. Kautilya's definition of good governance consisted of provision of infrastructure and national security, formulation of efficient policies and their effective implementation and ensuring clean and caring administration.
Kautilya's insights into compliance issues are remarkable. According to him, ignorance of the work, neglect of duty, timidity, corruption, arrogance, and greed on the part of tax officials were the main factors for causing the loss of revenue. Clearly, Kautilya emphasised both honesty and efficiency.
He noted that it was not easy to detect corruption. He stated, ― just as it is impossible to know when a fish moving in water is drinking it, so it is impossible to find out when government servants in charge of undertakings misappropriate money.
He added, "It is possible to know even the path of birds flying in the sky but not the ways of government servants who hide their [dishonest] income."
Kautilya suggested heavy penalties on those officials, who misappropriated revenue. He suggested: Those officials who have amassed money [wrongfully] shall be made to pay it back; they shall be transferred to other jobs where they will not be tempted to misappropriate and be made to disgorge again what they had eaten. On the other hand, according to Kautilya, ― an officer who accomplishes a task as ordered or better shall be honoured with promotion and rewards.
It appears that Kautilya did not mention any punishment for bribing. Since he considered the people more like victims. In fact, he suggested compensating them for their losses. So he wrote: A proclamation shall then be issued calling on those who had suffered at the hands of the [dishonest] official to inform. All those who respond to the proclamation shall be compensated according to their loss. That could be an effective way to combat corruption since the person, who is forced to bribe might be more than willing to provide some solid evidence against the corrupt officials.
"The current law by treating both the giver and the receiver of bribes as criminals unnecessarily protect the corrupt officials." The professor took a short break. Sipping from next cup of tea, he shared details unknown to me.
"Can you imagine Kautilya lists forty kinds of misappropriation of funds by the bureaucrats? The informant giving information on corruption was entitled one-sixth of the amount as a reward. There is also a fascinating description of how the departmental supervisors should check whether expenditures have been incurred for the desired end – including the heads (labor, capital, and material) of the expenditure.
Kautilya identified the problem of moral hazard (i.e., the problem of shirking) and suggested payment of efficiency wages and supervision. He wrote: The king shall have the work of Heads of Departments inspected daily, for men are, by nature, fickle and, like horses, change after being put to work."
I was awed with so much of information about financial regulation, bribery in the remote past.
With technological advancement and digital system of handling has made these dubious deals easier and spread faster. People leave the country after committing the crime and in a short time he lands in a safer zone. In fact, few safe havens are famous for breeding and hiding point of illegal financial deals. Our smart technology and intelligence system are not without loopholes. Here the dubious people slip through making fool of all officials and regularity systems.
After thousands of years, how we call ourselves civilised is the question came propping up in my mind, especially in this situation of huge public money being siphoned off. These are huge amounts, especially in a country like ours where poverty shows across the land and farmers commit suicide for not being able to repay meager thousands of rupees loans.

Right Beyond the Horizon
A Motorcycle Odyssey
What if the journey of a lifetime becomes a lifelong journey?
When people say "life's a journey", some take this aphorism more literally than others. Christopher Many embarked on an overland trip in 1997, believing he'd spend no more than a year or two on the road. Well, that didn't quite work out as planned – 19 years have passed, and he's still somewhere out there, doing what he loves most: circumnavigating the globe with vehicles of questionable reliability in a quest to understand, through first-hand experience, what makes humanity "tick".
Right Beyond the Horizon tells the gripping tale of Christopher's latest voyage between 2012 and 2016: a motorcycle adventure from Germany to Australia, together with his partner Laura Pattara. Their modern-day odyssey follows the ancient Silk Road from Europe to Central Asia, then across the Pamir Mountains into China, where Christopher and Laura become the first overlanders with a foreign vehicle to obtain legal permission to transit the Middle Kingdom unescorted. Four years later they reach the harbour of Denpasar on the Indonesian island of Bali – the gateway to Australia and terminus of the classic trans-Asia overland route.
Come along for an exhilarating ride around the global block with this unusual vagabond and witness all the joys and hardships such a lifestyle entails – every day will be full of surprises and utterly unpredictable! However, you should also be warned: some roads detour into the shadows where the scales of global justice are imbalanced and humanity's failings are all too evident. There's also a major risk that, after the last page, you'll feel inspired to pack your rucksack, free yourself from modern society's constraints and head off into the sunset indefinitely. You wouldn't be the first ...Deutsche Ausgabe
